0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and Nicky Spagnola. It's Monday at eleven am. It's time

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>for Mick Shots and Mickey finally has his head set

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>on inside the SWBC podcast studio. He has some technical difficulties,

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>but we didn't want to talk to Mickey anyway, because

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>it is the day after a Cowtown marathon in which

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Everson Walls ran through the streets of Fort Worth and

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.319
<v Speaker 1>came away victorious. Ladies and gentlemen. You just don't know

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.839
<v Speaker 1>how tough it was yesterday. It's like World War two

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>out there. You know, it's twenty six point two miles.

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a long way to run. Ever, so it's thirteen

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>point one, which is where I went, and it was

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>brewed told. I don't know. As much as you can train,

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>it just never seems like it's enough training, because when

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you hit the paid pavement, it's it just it just

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>wears you down from from step one. You're like oh okay,

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>here we go. You know, you can just feel it

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.479
<v Speaker 1>in your bones. See do you start going too fast? No? No, no,

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to worry about that. No, I was.

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I was. I started off slow, but I ended even slower. Yeah.

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty bad. But but when you start running,

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's almost like you have this grudge against

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>someone because there's always that one person. You see them

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>all the time. You know, it's like, oh, they got

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>me and there, Oh how did they get past me?

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>And I got to pass them? You know, so it

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of becomes this little thing, right, And so I

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>had to I had to file a complaint on this

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>one dude fight. Yeah, I mean you know, he had

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>an unnecessary advantage. I mean he was, he was, he

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>had wheels, he was on the wheelchair. Can't you know

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>when he goes down the hill, bro, I can't catch

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>that guy, you know what I mean? But up the hill,

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, it just so somebody to catch and he

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>goes down the hill, here is flying. You know. That's

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>an unfair advantage. Not a flat course, Oh no, it was.

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.519
<v Speaker 1>It seemed to do this the whole time, the whole time,

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>And like I said that that got in the wheelchair.

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>He had an unfair advantage. That was not cool at all.

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>It was nice running weather, though, wasn't It was good

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 1>running weather? Yeah, and you had a toboggan on he

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>had at the end you tweeted out a picture. Oh

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 1>some headwear. Yeah, no, no, that was just a pullover. No,

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.679
<v Speaker 1>it was just Duncker Bill Dunckerville, the Dunkerville Panthers that

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the state champions up. Okay, well, because I didn't think,

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>how long does it take for you? Because it wasn't

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that cold yesterday? It was not. But this started off. Yeah,

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>it was like it was in the forties once you

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>started off. But I just know back when I could jog,

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean it would have to. I'm taking off the

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>pull over everything. That's what you drop people undressing as

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>they run. And then there was one long at all.

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>You start heating up, and she she's collecting those people

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>that throw things. And then I guess she must have

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>brought it back to the finish line of something for

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the guys actually do that. I saw one lady doing that.

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 1>She was dressed as a daily cow. Yeah, so it

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>was pretty cool. But I mean, you start you start

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>doing I got that, you start you really started competing

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>against like certain individuals. You know, the wheelchair dude. He

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>pissed me off, and then you had the matt dude.

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>This this lady ran by me. She was old and

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>she had to be like fifty five and that's young.

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>She looked at them but a hunchback and she's run

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, I can take this chick, you know

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. And she left me. Everybody's going up hill.

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>She's the only one that didn't walk going up this

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>particular hill. I mean, dude, I joke, but she had

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to be close to seventy years old and she was

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>killing me. So, you know, for a moment, she and

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I had that Chris Paul moment to where you know,

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>she looks like she's just fast walking and I'm actually

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>jogging and she's still kicking my ass. So no, jogging

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>is very humbling, brothers, very very humbling. I don't know

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>how many people passed me with baby carts twins, even like, okay,

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I never saw him again. They kept going and they

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 1>kicked my ass. Maybe they were only doing a half marathon.

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean I was too half and a half of

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>like that were only two races at that time and

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>half and I'm like, damn, I never saw him again.

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.119
<v Speaker 1>Shows your time better than last year? It was okay,

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 1>but but yet I walked more this year. You're like,

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>when I did walk, it was like a really serious

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you know power. I could walk about fifteen a mile,

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 1>you know when I'm serious. And so that's kind of

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>how I was doing. And sometimes my walking was faster running.

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>So that's my story there, right, all right, So, uh, mickey,

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>did you have a nice offseason? I did, because the

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>season is starting now right now, right, probably started on Friday, right,

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>it was Friday when they finally announced the complete coaching

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the coaching staff. Yeah, wow, wait until Friday. Okay, but

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>it's combined week this week, yes, and two weeks from

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>today is like Bill's big week and a big green

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>notebook is here. There's my big green notebook twenty twenty three,

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>big green NFL Draft scouting. Like you upgraded? Did you upgrade? Oh? No,

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just like there's a line of empty pages in there.

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Are I mean, because it doesn't it starts this week,

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, all the other stuff until you get these

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>combine times, I mean, you're just wasting time. You are

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>wasting time. Okay, that's the beautiful thing about the combine

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>we now have and everyone can access it on the internet. Okay,

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>we got twenty years of comparisons that we can make

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and understand that. Okay, Michael Parsons is a top ten

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>pick because he just ran out four three, eight, and

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>so anyway, this is it. And two weeks from today

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>free agency starts the negotiations between the players, and a

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>week from tomorrow the Cowboys have to and all the

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>other teams have to make their decisions on who gets

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 1>franchise tagged. So we got another a little over a

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>week left on that decision, and here it is a

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>business season is starting now. Speaking of Michael Parsons. Thursday night,

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Jason Garrett at his annual Collegiate Man of the Year

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.159

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.679
<v Speaker 1>little interview, I went up to him and I said,

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>so help me with the timing. Here was Michael Parsons

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>there when you were there? Oh? Yeah? And I said

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>why do you say it that way? He goes, He

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>goes that guy, he goes. All he wanted to do

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>is be a running back, right, And he would come

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in and always talk to me, like come into the

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>then don't come and tell me he's the big guy, right,

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>But he said, yeah, he was. He was an amazing athlete.

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Um and he goes in. He always wanted to play

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>every position. So I told him the story about calling

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>himself mister Football. He was, oh, yeah, that's it. That's it.

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>So that was a nice, nice ceremony. Thursday night, they

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>do it here at the Star and Things in the

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Ford Center. The guy that won, by the way, was

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Deslin Alexandre Pittsburgh born in Haiti and the parents moved

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>him to here and got a scholarship to play at

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>pitt and turned into pretty good football player and the

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>one guy that I didn't know much about alex foresight.

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 1>He was an offensive lineman from Oregon. His dad was

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>one of the people that got shot and killed in

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>an Clackamous Town Center just outside Portland when they had

0:08:53.360 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a shooting. Geez, it was just like listening to you know,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>they do a profile of all the guys ahead of time,

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.559
<v Speaker 1>and that was part of his profile, having to deal

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>with that, And I was like, oh, my lord, think

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.959
<v Speaker 1>about that. You're thirteen, fourteen years old. But anyway, n

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>nice ceremony. Uh and uh yeah, Jason Witten. I think

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>what he's trying to do is take this thing nationally,

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>making a national award and just sort of you know,

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe ESPN actually broadcast it. They actually getting close they

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>actually did. No, they don't get it to that point,

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>get it to that point. But yeah, when you hold

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff here, I mean that that's a good stepney Stone

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.319
<v Speaker 1>two credibility, right, holding it here at the start. I

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>remember they had the uh you know the Landry Awards

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that was on the NFL network. It was delayed you know,

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>tabe lay or whatever on NFL network. So that's once

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you have it at here at the Star, that's always

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>a good, good platform. Yeah, he goes would pick this thing, yeah,

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>because they need content, right. Uh. They go to like

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>they contact like ninety eight schools, the sports information director

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and have all the schools, uh, submit a guy's name,

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and then he's got a committee and they go through

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff and come down with the final three.

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's pretty neat, pretty pretty nice award. Uh yeah, yeah,

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean all the great stories. And in fact, last

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>year's winner, Josh Pascal, I didn't know anything about him

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 1>before he won and then started doing research on him

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>after he was here for this award and then a

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.079
<v Speaker 1>really good player too, and uh, he's going to have

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a good career in the NFL. Yeah. So yeah, it's

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of neat because it's not just what you do

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 1>on the field, what you do off the middle serve

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>like the NFL Man of the Year. So anyway, yeah,

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>it was good. And Witton pontificated about the Cowboys too.

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>He did he was asked about the current situation. I

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.959
<v Speaker 1>thought it was interesting. I mean he was talking about

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the change in on the coaching staff and when you

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>think about it, with Kellen Moore no longer the offensive coordinator,

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and of course it was Jason Garrett's offense going back

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to two thousand and seven. As Witten said, this is

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the first time in sixteen years they haven't been running

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>this same offense. Yeah, and Dak mentioned you know, it's

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:26.079
<v Speaker 1>probably going to change twenty to thirty percent difference from

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>what they've been doing. But it's still not what they've

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>been doing since two thousand and seven because it's been

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>handed down from you know, Garrett to what Lenahan. Well,

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Garrett Garrett even when he was head coach, then Lenahan

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and then Kellen Moore. So yeah, they've been in the

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>same offense. I wonder if that makes a difference when

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:51.440
<v Speaker 1>teams prepare for you, although other teams coaching staff's change

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>so much, it's not like, oh yeah, I remember in

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight they were doing. You know, those

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>coaches aren't the same, and it's it's not as if

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy did have any input, yeah, the last three years

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to what I think people miss, right, Like I keep

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>saying there was a reason he had a headset on

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and a play sheet in his hand during the games, right,

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:17.839
<v Speaker 1>I still I still hope that there are some visible changes, uh,

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>in regards to our play calling habits. Uh, there are

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>times when you know things are pretty obvious. You don't

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't want your quarterback sitting back in the pocket today.

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, your your offensive line, they're having some issues,

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, blocking of the run. You know, in this

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 1>particular game, we're not we're not getting any movement up

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>front on the line. I wonder if those uh decision makings,

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that the decision making plays that he calls are going

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>to be have a different pattern to it. In other words,

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>uh uh you know the offensive coordinator we had, he

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 1>may have a certain tell every time he gets in

0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 1>this situation. Oh, I'm gonna continue to pass the ball now,

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>or continue to go on the ball. You know, the

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the the uh, the happenstances might be

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different this time. And hopefully instead of uh,

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>cow towering, I would say, and going for the the

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>meager yards, sometimes you might want to go for it.

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>You understand what. Everyone has their own DNA. Yeah, there

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you go, right, that's what I mean. I mean, uh,

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think that that Kellen's DNA was more throwing

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the football, you know, so that when it comes down to,

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 1>all right, a crunch time of a game, or you

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 1>get in the in the heat of battle, you're gonna

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 1>go for four easier than I can run for four. Yeah. Yeah,

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>And that he did hang his hat on that that's

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>part of his DNA. I don't know if you know Sattenheimer,

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever he does when he comes in, or

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>if McCarthy might be a little bit, uh have a

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit more different pattern. Well, Witten finished that with saying,

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:58.200
<v Speaker 1>so if those changes, or he said, if that changes

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>meaning the system or does it change, um, you know,

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.680
<v Speaker 1>or what it feels like you know. Uh, There's been

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of top offenses in that system through these

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>different coordinators. So he did point out that offenses have

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>been pretty good over the years with this with this

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys team over those sixteen seasons. All right, so, uh,

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>did you catch any XFL this weekend? Last night we

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>had a matchup of Wade Phillips against Bob stoops the

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Houston Renegades or at the Houston Roughnecks winning over the

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Arlington Renegades. And Mickey has a uncle, Wade l head coach,

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>first first wins as a as a head coach since

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>his days with the Cowboys. He was acting like, this

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 1>is no big deal. This is what I do deal.

0:14:53.320 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna put pressure using quarterbacks. Yeah. I tried watch

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and I went back and forth to what American idol

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>was much more. Wow, I just knew you were to

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>say something like Eric and Idol was more competitive. The

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>offensive lines and the quarterbacks just spray the balls all

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>over the place. It was. It was hard to watch,

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>about as hard to watch as the second half of

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the Mavericks game. Yeah, so I want to I want,

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I want somebody to point out this stat for me,

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it's just like everybody's pointing out you know, when you

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>have a twenty seven point lead. There were one hundred

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and eighty something And oh, I want to know how

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>quickly a team in the NBA had established a twenty

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>seven point lead, Because that's twenty seven point lead was

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>in a quarter and a half. Yes, it was right. Yes,

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a long time to hold the lead in the NBA.

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>By the way, that's the status. I got it down

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to fourteen by half time. Half Yeah, absolutely, yeah, but

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that's I know, you're not giving them a pass, all

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you No, No, But I'm saying, not everybody has a

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven point lead in you know what, twelve or

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>however many minutes, but you twenty minutes. The mentality is

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to maintain the twenty seven Yeah you're

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>out of the game, but chances are a professional foot

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 1>of basketball teams not going to continue to shoot down exactly.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 1>That's why. That's why they w down. They were all

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen. Defense came through. Yeah, that's how it happened.

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>The defense made them shoot shots they don't want to shoot.

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 1>They made the threes more difficult, and all of a

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>sudden you got to make the adjustment, and they decided

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe we should just go inside. And big Man was working. Yeah,

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>big man with both of them, yes, they would anyway.

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I know, how do we get on conside? It was me.

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I consumed part of it, and I didn't know about

0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that Vanderbilt guy. He was a difference in the game.

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 1>My son knew about nothing. He's a Lakers fan. And

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 1>when he when they signed him, when they signed him,

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>yes they did. He said, this guy's a Swiss army knife.

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what he called him. And he did it yesterday.

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking back after when you're talking about how quickly

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 1>did the team establish a twenty seven point lead in

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.119
<v Speaker 1>the NBA and immediately thought a game seven between the

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Mavericks and the Suns, you know, and no, it was

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a I think it was a thirty point lead at halftime.

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.800
<v Speaker 1>But last night or yesterday afternoon. It was they got

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to twenty s quicker than fourteen point lead in NBA's

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing right when you got a half to play. It

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>was fifty seven twenty seven at halftime of that game

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>seven and they held on to that. Yeah. So so anyway,

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie and Luca are now one and three when they

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 1>are playing together. But boy, they are exciting as him

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.400
<v Speaker 1>that I can tell you I like watching them more.

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 1>You know. The losing, that's a whole other thing. There

0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>were some faces in the crowd yesterday afternoon too. You

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 1>saw that. That picks up now, yeah, that picks up

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 1>that afternoon there was a two time Super Bowl MVP

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd. Getting it back to footballs who was

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd? All right, So here he is. Mickey

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>has filled up two note legal paths. He's got the

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 1>marker out on a bunch of notes, and so we're

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 1>going to hit all of that when we come back

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>here in just a moment here on mix shots. The

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Medal of Honor is our country's highest military award for

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.320

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>four thousand have received the Medal of Honor. The National

<v Speaker 1>grape Vine about one eleven thirty last night is about

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>got blown off the road, I would imagine, and I

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.120
<v Speaker 1>came out of nowhere. I left a TV station where

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the weatherman said it's fine, trust I mean, I'll try, yeah,

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.359
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I was like out of nowhere. All of

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>a sudden got windy and rainy, and it was but

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>it didn't last long, No, about fifteen minutes. Maybe my

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 1>truck shows it today. Though it is rather dirty. It

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 1>was a dirty win. And that it was my daughter's

0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 1>car is filthy right now, that's right. It came from Amarilla.

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:15.880
<v Speaker 1>They showed the West text texts. They couldn't they couldn't see.

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 1>There was so much dust in the air and bad

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>tornadoes up in Oklahoma. Yeah, last night, in fact at

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the OU campus. Uh, there's a bunch of damage around Norman.

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, what is on your legal pad? Well, you've

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.880
<v Speaker 1>got you've you've got a coaching staff over there that's

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>all marked up. It seems like there have been some

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 1>changes here in the last month on this coaching staff

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.920
<v Speaker 1>we need to talk about. I've got ten changes, either

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>newcomers or repositioned guys like Jeff Blastco, who was the

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>assistant offensive line coach. He is now the run He's

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 1>now the running backs slash run game coordinator, so he

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 1>moved from the offensive line to the running backs coach

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 1>takes Skip Pete's place. Also Chase Haslett, who was I

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 1>think he was one of the oh, what do you

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 1>call it? Quality control coaches? He is now an assistant

0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:30.640
<v Speaker 1>tight ends coach. We've talked about Brian Schottenheimer moving from

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 1>analysts to offensive coordinator. Mike Solari, who was coaching when

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Everson was playing for the Cowboys, is now the offensive

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:44.919
<v Speaker 1>line coach takes over for Joe Philban And Scott Tolzene,

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.360
<v Speaker 1>who was just kind of an offensive assistant, is now

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks coach taken over for Doug Nussmeyer. So those

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:58.680
<v Speaker 1>are the main changes on the offensive side of the ball.

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Any of that catch your eye, Well, you know, I

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>know it's kind of old news, but when you have

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a running bag that makes the Pro Bowl and has

0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a great year, you still get rid of the coach.

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I think here is my notion of what took place.

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:25.879
<v Speaker 1>So Skip Pete been in the league twenty four years,

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>also a fact I believe as a fact, and I

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 1>think a couple of things stood out to me. And

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 1>when we go through the rest of it. Number one

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:40.640
<v Speaker 1>new voice, Number two getting younger, and maybe number three

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>getting less expensive because you've got a figure if you've

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:47.960
<v Speaker 1>been in the league twenty four years, your salary estably

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:57.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty high. Right. So other than Schottenheimer being forty nine

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and Solari sixty eight, the staff got younger. Um, blastgo,

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't look up, but he's like in his upper

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 1>thirties something like that. Uh. Hasselet's young. Uh, Scott Tolzine

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 1>is young. Um, so they got a little bit younger.

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you're right. Um. But again this staff was

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty heavy too, with a lot of assistance to the assistant. Uh,

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.159
<v Speaker 1>and so some of that changed. So did we what

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 1>was the was the final cutdown number? How many the

0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 1>positions did we do we save? Did we get rid of? Yeah?

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they because they've got so many

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:45.640
<v Speaker 1>quality control guys, analytics guys that kind of boosted I'll

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 1>give you. Because the special team stayed the same. The

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 1>strength and conditioning staff stayed the same. On defense, Um,

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>they didn't resign Leon Latt, who'd been here quite a

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 1>few years, but they brought in Sharif Floyd, who coached

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>with him during training camp. I believe he was like

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:11.240
<v Speaker 1>a part time assistant from training camp, the guy that

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 1>everybody wanted the Cowboys to draft, if you remember, and

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 1>then they didn't do it caused an uproar um also,

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 1>so basically he takes Leon's place, yes, and so he's

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:30.879
<v Speaker 1>quality control assistant defensive line. And Leon h turns fifty

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>five in October. Okay, so they get twenty five years

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 1>younger there probably something like that. Yes, absolutely, Skip Pete

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 1>turned sixty January thirtieth, and Blastco turns forty on July six.

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:51.159
<v Speaker 1>They got twenty years younger. There said twenty years younger there, right,

0:26:52.600 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 1>they Tolzine is thirty five and U Smyer is fifty two,

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 1>so you're seventeen years younger. There. They got younger. And

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 1>then they also brought in as a quality control assistant

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>linebacker coach Darren Thompson, who had played here. Um just

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:20.600
<v Speaker 1>last year. Basically he didn't, I mean he didn't play.

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Twenty twenty one was his last year to end up playing.

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, they did get younger also linebackers. So George Edwards,

0:27:33.400 --> 0:27:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I bet he's in his sixties fifty five six now,

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:40.200
<v Speaker 1>but he'd been in the league twenty five years, I believe.

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 1>And so they turned that back over to Scott McCurley,

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:48.119
<v Speaker 1>who's forty two, and he had the job in twenty twenty.

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:51.560
<v Speaker 1>And then when they got George Edwards, who had been

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:55.359
<v Speaker 1>a linebackers coach defensive coordinator, they called him a senior

0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>defensive assistant. They basically gave him the linebackers. So now

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 1>it goes back to U for one year. Just for

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:06.159
<v Speaker 1>one year, just one year. Yeah. Actually that year I

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:10.959
<v Speaker 1>still think Sean Lee was coaching the linebacker just watching practices.

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:13.879
<v Speaker 1>That see who was doing all the talking. It was

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Sean Lee. So anyway, ten ten changes. I wonder if

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 1>they talked to Sean Lee about if he would be

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:26.400
<v Speaker 1>interested in coaching. Yeah. From him, it's because he's got

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a mansion in Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, Frisco. Working twelve

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 1>hours a day or taking a walk on the beach,

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 1>right him, it wouldn't be twelve hours a day. Yeah, right,

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you talk about someone's DNA probably sixteen. Yeah, he's probably

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 1>going crazy. Yeah, probably, we'll just see how keep an

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 1>eye on that. Yeah, same thing with Witton. They asked

0:28:55.560 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Witten and his his response was basically, you know I'm

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>making a difference here in high school, and my kids

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 1>got a couple more. That was the key to go.

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I think his oldest is a sophomore, maybe going to

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>be a junior, right, and then the other boy, I

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.320
<v Speaker 1>think he's a couple of years younger, probably going into

0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:18.719
<v Speaker 1>his freshman year. Maybe ye maybe. Yeah. So he pointed

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>that out, but he didn't. Still, he didn't totally dismiss

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I think six years from forty five, six years from now,

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:30.520
<v Speaker 1>either a college job or once Tennessee goes bad again.

0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, because I bet he could put a staff together.

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean Doug Peterson. Doug Peterson did that. I mean

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Doug Peterson. After his playing career, he coached at a

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:46.320
<v Speaker 1>small private school in Louisiana and probably I don't know

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>his family situation. I assume maybe he had kid playing

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and then he got on the Eagles staff and within

0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:56.479
<v Speaker 1>five years he's coaching in the Super Bowl, and now

0:29:56.520 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 1>he's at Jacksonville. Jaguars. Love that guy Peterson. I always did.

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I always did they get ever in a coaching job?

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, hell no, Nick, And I'm good right over here.

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Well I could complain without having to deal with others

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a good point. So anyway, that's that's the changes

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 1>they made. And you know, we'll see, you know, how

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 1>it turns out, because you know, you don't make all

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>these changes without the thought of, okay, now we've been good,

0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 1>now can we get better? And there's no regression time here, right,

0:30:31.680 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 1>there's no honeymoon time for a bunch of new coaches

0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that got to get better. You know, it's go ahead.

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna say the only thing that concerns me.

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:43.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we've been we've all seen a lot,

0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 1>been through a lot. I remember in the eighties, we

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 1>lost three in a row, three championship games in a row,

0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and Tom decided to start, Okay, we gotta do something different. Yeah,

0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 1>but what he did differently didn't help. It hurts. So

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the moves that he made after that, they were the

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 1>wrong moves, you know, you know verse personnel, you know,

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:06.960
<v Speaker 1>versus the patterns that you use. And and like you said,

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the DNA that you have as a coach. I'm hoping

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.560
<v Speaker 1>that these moves that we made weren't the wrong moves.

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 1>That's the only concern about just making moves for the

0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>sake of making moves. That's not the whole point. But

0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 1>if you if you have if if, what you're doing,

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you know makes sense all the way up into uh

0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>better victories in certain moments, you know, changing the way

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 1>we react in in certain big moments of a game,

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, changing our our our habits. You know, once

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 1>we get into a certain situation, you know if that

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 1>makes it? Will this make us better or will it

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:45.880
<v Speaker 1>make us worse? See, I think the key thing will

0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:51.400
<v Speaker 1>be the changes on offense. Because defensively, with dan Quinn

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 1>coming back, uh Aiden Dirty Distill the defensive line coach,

0:31:57.520 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Al Harris is still the defensive backs coach and Joe

0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Witt still secondary pass game coordinator on defense, So those spots,

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>those main spots have stayed the same. And remember dan Quinn, um,

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you know he's the defensive coordinator, but he can help

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 1>out on the defensive line or I think at linebacker too. Question,

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:26.840
<v Speaker 1>do you guys think the defense got better after we

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 1>had that middle of season slump as we as we

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:31.719
<v Speaker 1>got towards the end of the season, do you think

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 1>our defense got better? I think I would have to

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:40.960
<v Speaker 1>look at the scores didn't have I mean, they still

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:44.680
<v Speaker 1>led the league in takeaways, not as many as last year.

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think that in a couple of games that

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:53.320
<v Speaker 1>they lost that you know, kind of goes on Dak's ledger.

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:57.320
<v Speaker 1>He put up twenty eight points in the overtime loss

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to Green Bay and thirty four in the over time

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 1>loss to um Jacksonville. Now I understand it was the

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 1>pick six that ended the game, but he still put

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 1>up thirty four and that wasn't enough to win the game.

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 1>So there were times where the defense uh struggled, I think,

0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and I think things got better actually after the Jacksonville game,

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and I don't I wasn't necessarily worried about points as

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 1>much as you could see that the defense was really

0:33:31.200 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 1>starting to take control of games and our offense built

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 1>off of them. Even if you look at the Washington game,

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you look at even the Titans game. Those two games,

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the defense was really playing with one hand

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 1>tipe behind the backs because we wanted to use nine

0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 1>time a playbook, and a couple of those games w

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:53.959
<v Speaker 1>were coming towards the end. Tennessee was playing with two

0:33:54.040 --> 0:34:03.640
<v Speaker 1>hings behind their back right, and so then even the

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Washington game, they were playing the rookie Sam Howe was

0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 1>playing quarterback, and I think we've got somehow I think

0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it led us, it gave us a better look at ourselves.

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.759
<v Speaker 1>But I think the season but one of the things

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that did I think the injuries to the cornerback position

0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:24.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of exposed a lack of depth there that they

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:30.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't have. You know, I um Bland stepped up played well,

0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 1>but they were still a guy short. And and with that,

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 1>having said that, I thought they salvaged good performances through

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 1>all of that. And I'm talking about maybe including the

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco game. I'm talking about maybe the last five

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 1>games of the season, including up to the San Francisco game.

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:50.759
<v Speaker 1>I think they they regardless of what they were going

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:54.800
<v Speaker 1>up against, they made all the goals, you know, to

0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:57.280
<v Speaker 1>keep the game in hand for the offense. The offense

0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:59.919
<v Speaker 1>just what wasn't doing much in a couple of those games,

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:04.239
<v Speaker 1>all right, you know, But it's a key thing for

0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:07.680
<v Speaker 1>any NFL team to do is take an honest look

0:35:08.440 --> 0:35:13.839
<v Speaker 1>at what you did during that season, and let's look

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:16.400
<v Speaker 1>at the last half of the season. So this is

0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>something that goes on behind the scenes. He went on

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a month ago, you know, as soon as the season ended.

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Back second half of the season after that Minnesota win

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:30.319
<v Speaker 1>forty to three. Okay, went over the Giants twenty eight

0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:36.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty Giants solid team. Okay, so that's a good win. Okay. Indianapolis, kay,

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:39.920
<v Speaker 1>was a turned out to be a fifty four to

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:43.719
<v Speaker 1>nineteen win. It was twenty two to nineteen going into

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:47.759
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter. Basically, okay or whatever it was. Indianapolis

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:50.720
<v Speaker 1>is not a good team. Houston not a good team.

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Twenty seven, twenty three win, lost to Jacksonville, which was

0:35:56.840 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 1>turning into a decent team, and make the playoffs. Okay,

0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:03.440
<v Speaker 1>forty thirty four, it's a loss. Philadelphia forty thirty four win.

0:36:03.760 --> 0:36:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Backup quarterback Tennessee twenty seven thirteen win, backup quarterback Washington

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:12.279
<v Speaker 1>lost twenty six to six in the last game of

0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the season. Backup quarterback. And then you're facing Brady in

0:36:16.080 --> 0:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks in the postseason and then the Niners. So

0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean you just have to take a ask a question, honestly, Okay,

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:25.839
<v Speaker 1>second half of the year, and then what's the other thing?

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:30.000
<v Speaker 1>The production of Parsons and pressure in the quarterback down

0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the stretch of the season, right, and using him almost

0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 1>exclusively a defensive end. I still like him better at linebacker,

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>just you know, if you want to spot him as

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>a defensive end, but I just don't know that first

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and second down he needs to be playing defensive end.

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he's more valuable at lineback. What can't. You've

0:36:55.080 --> 0:36:58.799
<v Speaker 1>got to find someone that can hold it down as

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:01.520
<v Speaker 1>he's in the back, you know, playing against the run.

0:37:01.880 --> 0:37:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Right until you find that person, then then Mickey Spagnola

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 1>will not be satisfied. And you might be right because

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Dorin's Armstrong started the season off like he was shot

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 1>out of a cannon and then all of a sudden

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:21.399
<v Speaker 1>it leveled off a long season. Sam Williams all right

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and spots, but he wasn't like a full time He's

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a rookie event right, he was a rookie, and I

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:32.840
<v Speaker 1>think it showed, especially against the run. Um. And I

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:38.760
<v Speaker 1>just think it's hard for for Parsons the way he's

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:43.360
<v Speaker 1>built to play defensive end against the run, taking on

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:48.840
<v Speaker 1>guys that are eight. There's a reason that most teams

0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:53.879
<v Speaker 1>rotate guys up front, right, It takes a lot out

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 1>of you. So after play interesting to see what they do. Um,

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially at defensive tackle. Now, they had young

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:08.759
<v Speaker 1>guys that I thought played decently, but you know they

0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 1>did have some struggles stopped in the run. You know,

0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:14.799
<v Speaker 1>when you look at Parsons and you see him at

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 1>the end of the game, he spent. I mean, I'm

0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 1>sure all of them are spent, of course, but just

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to what you said, he seems to be just, you know,

0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 1>have nothing left down the stretch and when you really

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:29.320
<v Speaker 1>need him. You know, someone approached me about should he

0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:32.800
<v Speaker 1>change his workouts, should he change the way he prepares

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:38.720
<v Speaker 1>for a season? You know, should he maybe become heavier

0:38:39.280 --> 0:38:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and play defensive end if you're gonna be playing that

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:45.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot more right, you know, because he's getting caught

0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in space a lot. You know when he when you

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:50.640
<v Speaker 1>show his weaknesses on the edge. I just like him

0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:53.879
<v Speaker 1>blitzing as a lineman because now they don't know where

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 1>he's lining up. I thought early in the season when

0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 1>they were lining him up, they had a four man

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:02.360
<v Speaker 1>line and he was the fifth outside of DeMarcus Lawrence.

0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:05.399
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was awfully effective. Now maybe they're looking

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:08.320
<v Speaker 1>at matchups to see, oh, he can take care of

0:39:08.520 --> 0:39:12.040
<v Speaker 1>advantage of this or that, But it's it's when he's

0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:15.919
<v Speaker 1>got his hand underground is one of or not hand

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 1>on the ground, but standing in one of four on

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:24.040
<v Speaker 1>their front of the defense, the running backs over there,

0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the tight ends over there, and it makes it difficult.

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean even you know someone said when they interviewed

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:37.360
<v Speaker 1>him at ticket Stock. You know they said something about,

0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:41.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, defensive ends getting their hands on me or

0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:43.400
<v Speaker 1>on you, and he goes, no, they don't get their

0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:46.720
<v Speaker 1>hands on me because I'm around them. But sometimes getting

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:50.799
<v Speaker 1>around is further, right, And there ain't nobody rolling out

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to his side either, by the way, you know, it's

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 1>always a way. So now he's chasing backs, but he's

0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:00.120
<v Speaker 1>still had thirteen and a half sacks. All right. When

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:01.719
<v Speaker 1>we come back here on Mick Shots, how about we

0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:06.240
<v Speaker 1>take a look at what truly are this team's needs

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:10.840
<v Speaker 1>as we go into the new season of building a

0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:15.759
<v Speaker 1>team with the combine on this notebook. Free agency coming

0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 1>up right after that, when Mick Shots continues, and I'm

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 1>ament we paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great?

0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a pepsi zero sugar?

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Great job, honey, Oh look at that. That's not the end,

0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:38.960

<v Speaker 1>It sounds like it's a song. It's it's it's a

0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:48.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a It's a plu of blue. That's all it is.

0:43:58.520 --> 0:44:02.440
<v Speaker 1>rhythm and blues, but it's not blue. And then blues

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:05.560
<v Speaker 1>can also be sad, and so you don't that's what

0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 1>he's saying. But I'm saying you could. It could be

0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:12.880
<v Speaker 1>plural of the color. That's all I'm saying. Okay, all right,

0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:18.160
<v Speaker 1>let's make things happy with this roster. All right. Biggest

0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:21.759
<v Speaker 1>needs going into this offseason. As the combine starts, as

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you're watching players workout and then and the workout's actually

0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the on field TV presentation will be starting on Thursday.

0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:35.160
<v Speaker 1>As you watch the position groups work out, get your

0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:38.680
<v Speaker 1>first taste of what's available in the draft, and then

0:44:38.719 --> 0:44:42.560
<v Speaker 1>you got free agencies starting two weeks from today. What

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:47.239
<v Speaker 1>is it? What positions of needs or cowboys looking at

0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that they really need to film. I'm gonna give you

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:54.240
<v Speaker 1>right off the top of my head. Yes, cornerback, wide receiver,

0:44:54.880 --> 0:45:02.680
<v Speaker 1>tight end, linebacker, quarterback. Con that won't show, That won't show.

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:06.240
<v Speaker 1>They do need a quarterback. They do need a quarterback.

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 1>So can you find one better than Will Greer in

0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:12.239
<v Speaker 1>the like sixth or seventh round. You always got to

0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:14.480
<v Speaker 1>be looking. I'm not saying right now he's better than

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Will Greer, but I mean that's what you're looking at.

0:45:17.360 --> 0:45:20.719
<v Speaker 1>If you can resign Cooper, let me ask you this.

0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this. If Patrick Mahomes is in

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:31.719
<v Speaker 1>this draft. If Patrick Mahomes is in this draft, you're

0:45:32.600 --> 0:45:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy, Scott Tolzine, the scouting brain trust, Aaron Rodgers.

0:45:37.920 --> 0:45:43.840
<v Speaker 1>They love this player. This player is has a potential

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to be a Patrick Mahomes. Wow, would you well? Are

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 1>you more brilliant than the other? Andy Reid apparently was

0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:00.239
<v Speaker 1>because they traded up. They trade it up up and

0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:03.800
<v Speaker 1>they gave up draft picks. Okay, and move up to

0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:06.280
<v Speaker 1>number eleven or whatever it was to take Patrick Mahow

0:46:06.280 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith. Alex Smith was their quarterback, okay, and they

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:13.600
<v Speaker 1>weren't happy with him, but I mean he was at

0:46:13.680 --> 0:46:16.080
<v Speaker 1>wherever it was in his I mean, let me look

0:46:16.160 --> 0:46:19.279
<v Speaker 1>back up Kansas City what they were doing then, how

0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith was doing. But keep going. I think they

0:46:23.320 --> 0:46:26.719
<v Speaker 1>had problems in playoff games, all right? Or take it

0:46:26.800 --> 0:46:30.160
<v Speaker 1>back to Green Bay ged Bret Farve and he was

0:46:30.320 --> 0:46:35.400
<v Speaker 1>ted Aaron Rodgers, but he was getting close right. Yeah. Well,

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:39.080
<v Speaker 1>here it's more and I'm not proposing this, I'm just

0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:43.560
<v Speaker 1>saying it's a it's a contract deal with with Dak

0:46:43.960 --> 0:46:45.840
<v Speaker 1>where he's got two years left on this deal, and

0:46:45.920 --> 0:46:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the amount of money that you're paying for the quarterback

0:46:48.120 --> 0:46:53.600
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with his age, right. Yeah. So basically,

0:46:54.000 --> 0:46:56.280
<v Speaker 1>if if you're not trading up and I'm not saying

0:46:56.360 --> 0:47:01.799
<v Speaker 1>that this player would supplant Dak Prescott, Dak Prescott may

0:47:01.880 --> 0:47:04.080
<v Speaker 1>play great the next two years, but then you have

0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:08.120
<v Speaker 1>this player either as a backup or guy that you

0:47:08.200 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 1>can trade. So how's that working out in Green Bay?

0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:16.479
<v Speaker 1>Right now? Yeah, I hadn't got on the field basically, yeah,

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and are you in? But he's not Patrick Mahomes. Are

0:47:20.680 --> 0:47:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you in a win now they keep talking about the

0:47:23.480 --> 0:47:26.520
<v Speaker 1>way they talk about them. They're putting all their eggs

0:47:26.560 --> 0:47:29.200
<v Speaker 1>in this basket. So are you in a win now situation?

0:47:30.440 --> 0:47:33.839
<v Speaker 1>You're winning now at DAK, right, But if you take

0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:39.359
<v Speaker 1>up first round is Kansas City? What's that's what's Kansas City?

0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Were gonna move on from Alex Smith? Okay? Are you

0:47:42.320 --> 0:47:45.719
<v Speaker 1>moving on from DAK? That's what I'm asking because you're

0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:50.120
<v Speaker 1>giving up a first round pick right next year, So

0:47:50.400 --> 0:47:56.360
<v Speaker 1>two firsts. I'm looking up Alex Smith right now. So

0:47:56.600 --> 0:47:59.239
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, you give him up, then I don't get

0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't have him for anything else. You don't have

0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:04.440
<v Speaker 1>any money for another wide receiver, right, I don't get

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:07.279
<v Speaker 1>a first round wide receiver or a cornerback or a

0:48:07.440 --> 0:48:11.840
<v Speaker 1>tight end. All right? What, okay, Ma Holmes is twenty

0:48:12.120 --> 0:48:14.960
<v Speaker 1>seventeen is that theory came in. You think people around

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:17.840
<v Speaker 1>here will stand for well, we're looking at the future,

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 1>the future in Dallas, and then you bring in these

0:48:23.320 --> 0:48:27.240
<v Speaker 1>players that they look okay, you know, and just okay

0:48:27.840 --> 0:48:30.360
<v Speaker 1>until the moment comes and then they look horrible. And

0:48:30.440 --> 0:48:34.960
<v Speaker 1>then what if you miss? And that happens with quarterbacks

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:39.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot, right, because how many how many how many

0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:41.840
<v Speaker 1>good quarterbacks do you think are in this draft? Like

0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:45.640
<v Speaker 1>first round guys? Four? All right, here's what was happening

0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:48.480
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City at the time that they made the

0:48:48.560 --> 0:48:53.120
<v Speaker 1>decision to draft Patrick Mahomes in the first round, gave

0:48:53.200 --> 0:48:56.239
<v Speaker 1>up picks to do it. They were coming off in

0:48:56.320 --> 0:49:00.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty and sixteen. They were eleven and four and Alex

0:49:00.920 --> 0:49:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Smith made the Pro Bowl eleven and four. Why four

0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:07.319
<v Speaker 1>fit two games? No, I'm sorry Alex Smith, as I'm

0:49:07.360 --> 0:49:09.920
<v Speaker 1>looking at Alex smith stacks. He was. His record was

0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:13.000
<v Speaker 1>eleven and four, good point, all right. So Alex Smith

0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:16.000
<v Speaker 1>as the starting quarterback was eleven and four and he

0:49:16.120 --> 0:49:19.440
<v Speaker 1>made the Pro Bowl. All right, They draft Mahome and

0:49:19.520 --> 0:49:23.160
<v Speaker 1>he was thirty two years old. They draft Mahomes, and

0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:26.480
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and seventeen, Alex Smith as the starting

0:49:26.560 --> 0:49:28.799
<v Speaker 1>quarterback went nine and six and he made the Pro

0:49:28.960 --> 0:49:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Bowl past for four thousand yards. He had twenty six

0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:38.360
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns and five interceptions. All right. Then Mahomes became Alex

0:49:38.400 --> 0:49:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Smith bye bye, and so he when they when they

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:51.440
<v Speaker 1>drafted Mahomes, he had Smith had one more year at

0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:54.040
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City, and then he went to Washington the

0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:56.879
<v Speaker 1>next year, So Mahomes did not play his rookie years,

0:49:56.920 --> 0:50:00.200
<v Speaker 1>sat and then started the following year. So actually into

0:50:00.239 --> 0:50:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the city at that point was a year we'd be

0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:06.399
<v Speaker 1>looking at the twenty twenty four draft like going into

0:50:06.480 --> 0:50:10.080
<v Speaker 1>next year with Dak's situation. Difference is Dak's got two

0:50:10.160 --> 0:50:12.440
<v Speaker 1>years left on his deal here and the age and

0:50:12.520 --> 0:50:17.000
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, but the money is the issue because the

0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:20.720
<v Speaker 1>forty million dollars a year is what straps you from putting,

0:50:21.080 --> 0:50:24.759
<v Speaker 1>which gives a team in more incentive now to go

0:50:25.000 --> 0:50:28.920
<v Speaker 1>looking for that quarterback. Because if you can get a

0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:31.759
<v Speaker 1>quarterback who can come in, even a second rounder like

0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts, you can look at the team that you

0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:36.960
<v Speaker 1>can put around a guy that who can man, that's

0:50:37.000 --> 0:50:39.719
<v Speaker 1>what started a super Bowl team. So you you bring

0:50:39.800 --> 0:50:44.000
<v Speaker 1>in Mahomes, does the wide receiver position change? Do you

0:50:44.120 --> 0:50:47.600
<v Speaker 1>bring did someone else come in along with him? You know,

0:50:47.640 --> 0:50:50.520
<v Speaker 1>who could make a difference for Patrick Mahomes that maybe

0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith didn't have. I don't know if their running

0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:57.239
<v Speaker 1>game was different. Did they bring in better lineman? You know,

0:50:57.400 --> 0:50:59.719
<v Speaker 1>things of that nature, Because you know, if it's just

0:50:59.800 --> 0:51:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes, based on what I've seen I can get that,

0:51:02.840 --> 0:51:04.840
<v Speaker 1>but everyone's not going to come in like a Patrick

0:51:04.920 --> 0:51:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes and make a difference, right, you got to bring

0:51:06.920 --> 0:51:10.960
<v Speaker 1>in somebody else with him. If you're receiving coil, your

0:51:11.000 --> 0:51:14.080
<v Speaker 1>office a game plan up to part. Bottom line is

0:51:14.160 --> 0:51:16.359
<v Speaker 1>if you do something like that, you better be right

0:51:16.560 --> 0:51:19.920
<v Speaker 1>on that quarterback. Well yeah, but then you elect at

0:51:19.960 --> 0:51:24.480
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco and they traded so much to go up

0:51:24.520 --> 0:51:27.359
<v Speaker 1>and get Trey Lance, and Trey Lance hadn't contributed yet,

0:51:27.560 --> 0:51:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and yet the forty nine ers are in the NFC

0:51:29.880 --> 0:51:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Championship game. And what if you're the Chicago Bears because

0:51:35.040 --> 0:51:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you got the first pick in the draft, but you

0:51:37.360 --> 0:51:41.080
<v Speaker 1>already got fields, right, what do you do? Are you?

0:51:41.200 --> 0:51:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Are you sure he's your guy? And that's what makes

0:51:45.480 --> 0:51:49.160
<v Speaker 1>it so fascinating? And who are Like I said, who

0:51:49.239 --> 0:51:51.600
<v Speaker 1>do you think are the top four quarterbacks in the draft?

0:51:54.280 --> 0:51:59.239
<v Speaker 1>Because I saw a list and C. J. Stroud was

0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:02.440
<v Speaker 1>not on it really and I was like, really, I

0:52:02.800 --> 0:52:05.520
<v Speaker 1>was thinking, well, maybe I'm wrong, Maybe he's got another year.

0:52:07.360 --> 0:52:09.600
<v Speaker 1>He's got to be He's gotta be on that list, right,

0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:13.319
<v Speaker 1>h It must be an interest. Maybe I've misread the list.

0:52:13.400 --> 0:52:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he was first. And then they missed him. Yeah,

0:52:17.040 --> 0:52:19.080
<v Speaker 1>because it's no way you can say, I mean, he's

0:52:19.160 --> 0:52:21.800
<v Speaker 1>to me, he and Bryce Young y. Yes, that's the

0:52:22.239 --> 0:52:23.839
<v Speaker 1>top two. That's what I thought, the way it goes.

0:52:25.000 --> 0:52:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'll go back to Bryce Young how he handled

0:52:29.360 --> 0:52:34.520
<v Speaker 1>his UH interview the Davey O'Brien Award when he had

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:38.959
<v Speaker 1>to fly from Tuscaloosa to hear UH and he flew

0:52:39.120 --> 0:52:42.239
<v Speaker 1>right back and they interviewed him the next day on

0:52:42.360 --> 0:52:46.839
<v Speaker 1>the ticket and and I think it was Kirby said, well,

0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did you have to go to class that

0:52:50.640 --> 0:52:52.879
<v Speaker 1>or that work out the next morning after you were here.

0:52:53.480 --> 0:52:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure coach Saban will let you pass on that.

0:52:57.800 --> 0:53:05.959
<v Speaker 1>He goes you obviously don't. No, you don't assume anything. Yeah. Yeah.

0:53:06.920 --> 0:53:10.080
<v Speaker 1>And in that twenty seventeen draft, there was one quarterback

0:53:10.160 --> 0:53:15.080
<v Speaker 1>taken before Patrick Mahomes, and that was your Chicago Bears.

0:53:15.840 --> 0:53:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell Trubisky went number two overall. That's great, and Mahomes

0:53:20.120 --> 0:53:24.200
<v Speaker 1>went number ten overall. I mean, for just a second,

0:53:24.680 --> 0:53:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Trubisky was heralded. So the teams that passed Cleveland had

0:53:29.280 --> 0:53:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the first pick took Myles Garrett. Chicago took Trubisky number two.

0:53:33.560 --> 0:53:38.760
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco took Solomon Thomas number three Jacksonville for Leonard Fournette.

0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee took wide receiver Corey Davis, The Jets took Jamal Adams,

0:53:42.360 --> 0:53:45.399
<v Speaker 1>the safety out of Hebron High School, Chargers wide receiver

0:53:45.560 --> 0:53:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Mike Williams, Carolina running back Christian McCaffrey, Cincinnati wide receiver

0:53:50.120 --> 0:53:53.239
<v Speaker 1>John Ross, and then the Chiefs Mahomes and they gave

0:53:53.320 --> 0:53:57.880
<v Speaker 1>up what um does it say? Yeah, I've got to

0:53:57.920 --> 0:54:01.960
<v Speaker 1>look it up. I really would like to see what

0:54:02.160 --> 0:54:06.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of changes they made along with it? Was tyrenk

0:54:06.840 --> 0:54:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Hill there yet? Not right or tyweek Hill like persons

0:54:11.320 --> 0:54:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, someone close? I don't know. Buffalo traded number

0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:18.080
<v Speaker 1>ten overall to Kansas City in exchange for Kansas City's

0:54:18.200 --> 0:54:21.320
<v Speaker 1>first and third round selections. Kansas City had the twenty

0:54:21.440 --> 0:54:24.480
<v Speaker 1>seventh and the ninety first pick, as well as a

0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:30.840
<v Speaker 1>first round selection in twenty eighteen. I dare ask, do

0:54:30.960 --> 0:54:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what those two first wash? Okay? The um? Okay?

0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:42.520
<v Speaker 1>So what I say? Twenty seven? Let's say Buffalo and

0:54:42.719 --> 0:54:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that took trade Avious White cornerback from LSU in the

0:54:46.040 --> 0:54:52.399
<v Speaker 1>first round, and then the third round pick was where

0:54:52.800 --> 0:54:59.279
<v Speaker 1>they I say ninety something. Where'd you go? Don't tell

0:54:59.320 --> 0:55:02.640
<v Speaker 1>me they traded? Oh the oh they did? It gets

0:55:02.719 --> 0:55:07.399
<v Speaker 1>too confident. So what about the next year's first? Since

0:55:07.440 --> 0:55:09.759
<v Speaker 1>you got it, it's very easy to get there. No

0:55:10.080 --> 0:55:14.080
<v Speaker 1>not worth from where I am. Okay, Well, if you'll

0:55:14.120 --> 0:55:16.640
<v Speaker 1>just talk for two, I'll get there. When did Tyrake

0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Bill get there? Brother? You should have done this reshirts

0:55:22.440 --> 0:55:24.279
<v Speaker 1>ahead of time. I didn't know what it was. I

0:55:24.360 --> 0:55:27.440
<v Speaker 1>was going to ask the question ahead of type. All right,

0:55:27.520 --> 0:55:35.719
<v Speaker 1>and then the next year Buffalo took shoot, they took

0:55:35.800 --> 0:55:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen in that draft. The next year the seventh pick,

0:55:38.440 --> 0:55:41.839
<v Speaker 1>but that was from Tampa Bay. Well maybe they where

0:55:41.920 --> 0:55:44.880
<v Speaker 1>was the Kansas City? And they took Tremaine Edwards linebacker

0:55:45.080 --> 0:55:48.400
<v Speaker 1>that was from Baltimore. How many picks they have in

0:55:48.480 --> 0:55:55.040
<v Speaker 1>this draft, I don't know, but they did pretty well. Hmm. Yeah,

0:55:55.680 --> 0:55:58.400
<v Speaker 1>So he was in the two thousand and sixteen draft.

0:55:58.440 --> 0:56:03.080
<v Speaker 1>There was there were too many trades. Hill was sixteen sixteen.

0:56:03.160 --> 0:56:06.799
<v Speaker 1>He was there already. Okay, so there you go. All right?

0:56:07.800 --> 0:56:15.439
<v Speaker 1>More needs, um you said, cornerback, cornerback and wide receiver. Yeah,

0:56:17.320 --> 0:56:21.799
<v Speaker 1>tight end and it maybe running back, depending on where

0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:24.440
<v Speaker 1>they go and what they do that's the most confusing

0:56:24.640 --> 0:56:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to me. I mean, right, yeah, that's the one that's

0:56:26.520 --> 0:56:28.680
<v Speaker 1>most up in the air. But I think we do

0:56:28.960 --> 0:56:31.320
<v Speaker 1>know that wide receiver's got to be one of my

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:34.920
<v Speaker 1>top two needs. But you just said in an earlier

0:56:35.080 --> 0:56:38.680
<v Speaker 1>segment that you needed somebody so that you could play

0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Parsons more linebacker. Well, I don't have I mean, I

0:56:42.320 --> 0:56:44.279
<v Speaker 1>can't get all these guys in the first We need

0:56:44.320 --> 0:56:46.520
<v Speaker 1>another offensive lineman. Do we need the right guard? I

0:56:46.600 --> 0:56:50.160
<v Speaker 1>left guard? Do we need a left guard? You see?

0:56:50.440 --> 0:56:52.479
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know if I needed in the first round.

0:56:52.960 --> 0:56:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Now there you go. See that last year though you

0:56:56.120 --> 0:57:00.640
<v Speaker 1>needed that guard. It was last year. We can't bring

0:57:00.760 --> 0:57:03.160
<v Speaker 1>up last year. It was a tackle that played guard.

0:57:04.840 --> 0:57:08.040
<v Speaker 1>He's not playing tack, I mean guard, he's playing tackle.

0:57:08.320 --> 0:57:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Huh so, um, well, you can't have a first round

0:57:12.120 --> 0:57:15.600
<v Speaker 1>pick at every position on the offensive line. Why not?

0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:18.080
<v Speaker 1>What do we do with the last decade? Come on?

0:57:18.280 --> 0:57:22.280
<v Speaker 1>We we concentrated on the offensive lineman. I mean what

0:57:22.840 --> 0:57:26.960
<v Speaker 1>get Sometimes? Can you develop a guy? Was Zach and

0:57:27.280 --> 0:57:30.120
<v Speaker 1>it didn't work. You didn't win a Super Bowl? Oh right,

0:57:30.320 --> 0:57:33.280
<v Speaker 1>but you established a culture around here. You had some

0:57:33.480 --> 0:57:37.760
<v Speaker 1>running backs with some good numbers behind that offensive line. Yeah,

0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the running numbers weren't as great last year, that's true,

0:57:43.480 --> 0:57:46.400
<v Speaker 1>But this the offensive line I'm talking about that we

0:57:46.520 --> 0:57:49.240
<v Speaker 1>almost had in front of him that you know, was

0:57:49.280 --> 0:57:52.160
<v Speaker 1>that about Murray had in front of him. I'm gonna

0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:54.000
<v Speaker 1>come on, well, what are you? What are you doing there? Though?

0:57:54.080 --> 0:57:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Are you keeping Tyrn Smith? Are you giving him another shot?

0:57:57.360 --> 0:58:02.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll see that's sighting himself. And whether he's gonna tern

0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:04.960
<v Speaker 1>still ready to start the season. I think I think

0:58:05.040 --> 0:58:08.840
<v Speaker 1>if if, if he'll if Tyran and Smith was Gonnas

0:58:08.880 --> 0:58:10.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna quit, I think he would have done it already.

0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't you think you think he would be that person

0:58:13.600 --> 0:58:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that would drag something like this out and then all

0:58:15.880 --> 0:58:19.600
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, I'm out. You know you gotta have

0:58:19.680 --> 0:58:24.000
<v Speaker 1>some communications. Well, well let me don't you don't know

0:58:24.640 --> 0:58:27.960
<v Speaker 1>what's been told behind the scenes, right whether they publicly

0:58:28.000 --> 0:58:31.400
<v Speaker 1>said or Travis Frederick retired in March. Let me put

0:58:31.440 --> 0:58:38.440
<v Speaker 1>it this way, if he stays his base salary thirteen

0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:41.920
<v Speaker 1>point six million, I don't know that. I'm walking out

0:58:41.960 --> 0:58:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the door on that. And so yeah, I would say

0:58:46.000 --> 0:58:48.040
<v Speaker 1>he'd be here, you know, I don't. I don't think

0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:50.640
<v Speaker 1>he's that person that would drag something like this out.

0:58:51.000 --> 0:58:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I think we would have known by now what he

0:58:53.120 --> 0:58:54.600
<v Speaker 1>was gonna do, and the fact that he hadn't done

0:58:54.640 --> 0:58:57.160
<v Speaker 1>anything that means he's gonna be hire. That's that's just

0:58:57.280 --> 0:59:02.840
<v Speaker 1>my opinion. And if they can somehow convince them to

0:59:03.680 --> 0:59:07.640
<v Speaker 1>reduce a little bit of that um and give him

0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:11.200
<v Speaker 1>guarant because he's out of guaranteed money by the way, Um,

0:59:12.120 --> 0:59:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's one of the things that they're gonna

0:59:14.880 --> 0:59:17.200
<v Speaker 1>have to look at. You know, it's the same thing

0:59:17.280 --> 0:59:21.000
<v Speaker 1>with Zeke. He's out of guaranteed money. So so it

0:59:21.080 --> 0:59:24.440
<v Speaker 1>could be a situation where there's negotiating going on and

0:59:24.560 --> 0:59:26.720
<v Speaker 1>then the player has to make a decision is it

0:59:26.840 --> 0:59:32.240
<v Speaker 1>worth negotiations? You got it? Psychological games like hey man,

0:59:32.280 --> 0:59:36.080
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel? Are you okay? And then got

0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:38.680
<v Speaker 1>to know what your market value is, Like if I'm

0:59:38.720 --> 0:59:41.600
<v Speaker 1>a free agent, they cut me, is somebody gonna pick

0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:43.880
<v Speaker 1>me up? And how much will they pay me? And

0:59:44.040 --> 0:59:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's where the agent has to earn his money.

0:59:46.800 --> 0:59:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, that's not as hard as it

0:59:48.400 --> 0:59:50.400
<v Speaker 1>used to be back in the day. Right, That's something

0:59:50.480 --> 0:59:53.240
<v Speaker 1>he can find out very quickly, right, yeah, because as

0:59:53.280 --> 0:59:56.880
<v Speaker 1>an agent, as an agent because someone someone said, I

0:59:57.040 --> 1:00:01.160
<v Speaker 1>read someone pointed out that market value for Tony Pollard's

1:00:01.200 --> 1:00:05.840
<v Speaker 1>eleven point nine million a year, and it's like, okay,

1:00:06.040 --> 1:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>are you sure about that? What would his franchise be

1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>ten one? And it's somebody gonna pay him that coming

1:00:15.440 --> 1:00:20.080
<v Speaker 1>off his injury sight unseen, you got a factor that

1:00:20.280 --> 1:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>in too. The other fallacy I see and some of

1:00:24.720 --> 1:00:26.959
<v Speaker 1>this stuff where they say, okay, here are the top

1:00:27.080 --> 1:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>people that need to either be reconstructed contracts or cut.

1:00:32.960 --> 1:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>They point out what the cap number is. I don't

1:00:35.720 --> 1:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>care about the cap number. I care about the base

1:00:38.640 --> 1:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>salary because the cap number is going to be some

1:00:42.280 --> 1:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of it's gonna be dead money if you let him go.
