And Everson Walls, when he's 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:42.040 signed on from Mick Shots today, was asking what winds? 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.519 What day is it? It's a victory? What you know 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.639 what this is? Everson? It just occurred to me, this 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.959 is what? Okay, Well, what am I gonna say? Wednesday?

And salute to 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.319 you Texas long Horns out there. The long Horns win 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:12.360 the Alamo Bowl last night. Yes, they finished off the 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.480 season and they found a quarterback in Casey Thompson in 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.080 the second half of that game. And Mickey, how's Missouri 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.759 gonna do it? It's bowl game later this afternoon they 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:30.240 are gonna cancel. Hey, Missouri is playing Grambling State where 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.479 we're gonna play Valentine's Day, right, spa, right, we're gonna 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.880 have our bowl game. You can't, you can't let you 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.720 can't let kids go home for Christmas. I just you 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:45.600 just can't. No, you can't. That's right. You know it's 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:50.920 funny because oh you Lincoln Riley said, Uh, they decided 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.720 to send their kids home for Christmas, and then they 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.480 had their COVID report come out yesterday and they had 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.639 no COVID reports, nobody positive. I talked to a coach, 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.200 an assistant coach at another Big twelve school, and texted 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.640 him and said, hey, Riley sent his players home, and 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.639 he said, well, let's see if they're able to play 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.080 the game next Wednesday. But it looks like they're gonna play. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.120 So I think everybody, I think everybody on the team's 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.720 already had COVID and so they were. They were good. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:25.440 Therefore there's no risk. Yeah, that's that's right, that's right. Yeah, supposedly, yeah, 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.320 all right, Missouri had a calcarious outbreak and uh, and 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.200 then they got accused of of making a phony cancelation 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:37.000 because they didn't want to get beat bad again. Who 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:43.120 are they supposed to play? Iowa? They could play, You 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.000 can't beat Iowa having those bags. I've seen you guys 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:52.400 play well. And right now we've got Wake for Us 0:02:52.480 --> 0:03:00.560 taken on Wisconsin in the something the Duke's Mayo Bowl. Hey, Mickey, 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.320 can you name it? Mickey? Can you name a Cowboys 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:09.160 player who went to Wake Forest? Not a current one, 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:14.360 all time, all time Cowboys player, Come on, all time 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.600 roster who went to Wake four? Oh, it's the running back? 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:22.280 Um um. I can't think of his name, and I 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.120 could see him. I talked to him all the time 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:33.440 play tennis. Again. No, not Dennison. There's there's a linebacker 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.160 still playing in the league who went to Wake for 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.320 Us who started his career with the Cowboy Yeah, and 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.520 his name, his name just came as this question. I'm 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:45.720 curious too, it's it's the run To answer the question, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.200 I'm extremely curious on who this guy is. It's the 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.680 running back, isn't it. Oh? No, that was Winston Salem. Yeah, 0:03:51.880 --> 0:04:01.000 not Wake for Us, Timmy Newsome, Kyle WILLI will you? Yes? Five? 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.720 He made a tow Wilbur went to Wake for He 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.040 made a tackle in the other the other last week 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.400 or so when I was watching Always it's always the 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.840 greatest play that Kyle Wilbur. Yeah, he's with the Raiders. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.000 But what's the greatest play Kyle Wilbur made in his 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:19.400 Cowboys career, Noyle, you got me there that Thursday night 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.960 game in Minnesota when he recovered the fumble on the 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.840 muff punt a couple of few years ago. Anyway, Oh yeah, 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:33.360 let's let's move on. I think Bill is related to him, 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:38.120 That's what it is. Let's move on to current day 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.800 Cowboys because the Cowboys is not only Mickey Spagnola who 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.839 is at work at the in the s WBC Mortgage 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.040 studios inside Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, but 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.440 the Cowboys are back to work at Forde Center at 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.240 the Star in Frisco, right, Mickey. And aren't they glad 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.520 they've got the Ford Center because it's been pouring here 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:02.120 all morning long. So they again had the ability to 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:07.719 practice indoors on Wednesday. Uh, they were in shells, had 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.159 the music blaring because this is going to be away 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:16.400 game with no fans. But maybe they were trying nicky. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.480 How do you know this because I thought when they're 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.280 indoors that no reporters could be inside Ford Center to 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.880 witness practice. Or were you able to be only the 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:30.640 two special reporters myself and Rob Philip. This is Jerry's boy, Bill, 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.360 Jerry's boy. Come on man, cree pandemic. Come on man. 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.240 They were sharing ice cream together and whatever they were 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.640 talking about me. Come on man, this is a this 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.280 is a company kept man right here with talking about 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:49.400 on this. Yeah. I wish, I wish all that was true. 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.080 We were the pool reporters and we had to brave 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.120 the outdoor elements to get into the Ford Center to 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.800 be able to give you a sanitized report on what 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:05.880 happened in practice. And that sanitize I must say before 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.760 you continue, SPADs, if they're going to try, and you know, 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.760 simulate noise, then why not simulate bad weather as well, 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.880 because they're going to be outdoors. Correct, they may be 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.480 outdoors tomorrow. They may be outdoors tomorrow. They've been practicing 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:25.400 indoors on Wednesday, uh for the last month or so 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.560 so uh And I don't know if that was to 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.480 keep the other media away or what, or they just 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.280 didn't want to let them into the facility after the 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:40.640 NFL cracked down on the COVID nineteen protocols. Uh. So, anyway, 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.360 I can tell you, I gotta ask you go ahead. 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.880 Do you think Tom Landry would would allow us to 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.560 be indoors before this game? You had, you had no choice, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:59.680 You had no facility, wells looas Fieldhouse, remember Undhouse. That's right, 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.760 that's why was your indoor facility. You actually would. It 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.480 is just an alternative spot. When the field is so 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.280 wet and the grass was so soggy, we would go 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:16.800 to Lows and practice on our turf still outdoors, outdoors, 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.720 but it was only because it was better footing on 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.360 their turf as opposed to the natural grass that we 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.280 had when Tom Langer was there. Yeah, there's no sense 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.440 messing up field House too. There's no sense miss messing 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.760 up practice just because the weather's bad. You know, if 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:36.000 you have an alternative, you gotta get reps right. So, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:45.120 having seen the team stretch warm up drills, I can 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:49.440 tell you that Layton vander Esh was not practicing. Donovan Wilson, 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.160 who made it back for the game, was not practicing. Uh, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:59.000 neither was Darian Thompson who's in concussion protocol. And Ezekiel 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.120 Elliott came out out probably did whatever he does before 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.120 practice on his own and then came out and got 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.440 on the resistance chords. I would imagine he was going 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.520 to be limited, and they did designate Zach Martin on 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:19.040 reserve injured return, but he wasn't going to do anything 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.960 more than rehab work. It looked like maybe work on 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:26.440 the continue working on the resistance chords. So that's your 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.440 guys who were and were not available for practice today. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.880 Did you see Xavier Woods? You mentioned Woods? I did not, 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.559 and Xavier Woods was out there taking part in everything 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.520 we saw that we were allowed to see, and it 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.600 looked like he intended to practice. He had a helmet 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.599 with him, so it looked like he was going to 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.720 do something. Mike McCarthy said he probably would be limited, 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.360 but felt like he would move into practice a little 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.680 bit more after they see what he was able to 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:02.000 do with that rib injury. We're based on the limited 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:07.640 information that you know, spags. Are those situations apt to change? What? 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.440 Does Layton have a chance to play? Uh? Does does 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.160 Thompson have a chance to come out of the the concussion protocol? Uh? 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.360 If this is not the final, say so right? I mean, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.880 does Zach Martins have a chance now? He he does not. 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.280 Jerry mentioned it on his radio segment yesterday that maybe 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.080 for the future, but probably not this week. I think 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:33.640 Layton's done. Um, I mean, he's not gonna play. He's 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.080 got a high ankle spring. Those things are usually three 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.200 to four weeks, so I don't know if he would 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.840 even make it if they ended up qualifying for the playoffs. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.520 I would say no on Darien for the NFC Championship. Ye, yes, 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:53.320 yes he would. Bill I met the first the first 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:58.280 playoff game, right and Day and Thompson in in concussion protocol. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.600 I think that one's going to be if he makes 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.880 it back or not. Usually you end up missing a week. 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.280 So that's kind of the Cowboys' injury port at this point. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.319 I'm listening to those safeties and with Donovan Wilson if 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:19.360 he aggravated his growing I mean things if if, if 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.440 Woods isn't able to make it back and Thompson not 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.280 out of concussion protocol, they're starting to get thin at safety. Yes, 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.400 as they did in the game. Now, from what I 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.839 saw Woods doing in the portion we get to watch, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.640 I would say seventy five percent chance he plays. He 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.200 looked like he was moving pretty well. But you're right 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.040 on Thompson and Donovan Wilson and even if those two 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.959 are ready to go, they may have to get Jordan 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:54.080 Lewis actual some snaps at safety, which he moved there, 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.800 and Mike Nolan pointed out that he really didn't get 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:02.199 any snaps in practice that week, and he basically, you know, 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.839 when they got to Saturday or whatever and they talked 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.760 about it, he said that Jordan Luce said, just put 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.680 me out there and tell me what the what the 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.319 calls are, I'm good to go. And you know, he 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:15.800 had the one play that he I think he ended 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:20.600 up getting called for interference on, but other than that, 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.000 you know, he got got a few snaps back there, 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:28.040 So we'll see where that goes. The previous week made 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.959 some I thought he made a big leap in the 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.920 playmaking ability, made some big plays in the previous game. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.160 I think he's been a big part of this third 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:42.480 down resurgence by the Cowboys. Uh, Like I said, maybe 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.600 not this past week, but the week prior to that. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.840 So he's uh, you know, how there is sometimes things 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.640 clicked for guys, Just like with Anthony Brown, he and 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.520 Jordan at one point seemed to really understand from that 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.360 slot position just how important it is for you to 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:02.760 make plays instead of just being just another another stick 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.800 man out there. They weren't looking, they weren't reacting, they 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.280 were anticipating. And that's what I loved about what Anthony did. 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.720 And I've been seeing that from Jordan Lewis as well, 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.319 so Donovan Wilson the growing right. He's trying to come 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.280 back from that in the week. I tried that once 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.840 played against the Giants the previous week. O J. Anderson 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.800 lifted me up on his elbow and brought me down 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:31.079 on my one leg and it shook something. I still 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.120 have a knot down there. It's never going away. So 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:38.040 I had never missed a game or play actually, and 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.480 so here there's my chance to I didn't want to 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.680 miss a game. So they were trying to get me 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:46.600 to go against Minnesota the next week. It was it 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.120 was no go. I couldn't do anything. They wrapped me. 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.880 First of all, I lost feeling in the leg because 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.840 they wrapped it so tight, so that I wasn't doing 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.319 well anywhere. I couldn't even feel it. I got out 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.760 there and tried to play a couple of times. Anthony 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:01.760 car There ran by me so fast. I'm like, look, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.240 I'm not doing my team any good. So I have. 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.040 Out of my few injuries I've had, the growing was 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.680 one of them. And yeah, I'm not looking for Wilson 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.680 to come back. They didn't just put a little Ben 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:19.080 Gay on it, and so they get out there big boy. Yeah. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:26.840 Back in the day, that was kind of the stablish quo. Right, Yeah, absolutely, Hey, Everson, 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:31.160 I'd love to get your take on Trayvon Diggs. You know, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.480 he makes that interception the other day and I immediately 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.880 thought of Everson. Uh, you know, he just has that 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:44.440 natural playmaking ability, the hands, the the instincts, wide receiver 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:50.080 type instincts, whatever, that's exactly what this secondary needs. They did, 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.520 and you know, I like I like the fact that 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.680 to me, all interceptions are good interceptions. You could say 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.800 it was a blowout at the time or whatever. He 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.080 needed that interception, and after coming back and kind of 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.040 giving up some plays. Uh, it's been a tough year 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.839 for him. I know about those tough years. I was 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.840 blessed enough. You know, I got beat as much as 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.600 as as as Diggs did this year. I got beat 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.920 in that nineteen eighty one, my rookie year. I was 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.480 just able to come back and counter that with interceptions. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.800 Now he hadn't gotten nearly as many as I have. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.160 But when you get that one or two or what 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:27.200 they say, have three on the years, three, that's not 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.720 that's like, that is not bad for a guy that 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.520 came in he's missed some games, and to have three interceptions, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.040 that is not bad for a rookie to come in 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.120 highly touted. And let's be let's be clear, if he 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.800 gets another one in this game, we're going to be 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.960 saying that this is a successful rookie campaign for Diggs 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.320 and he'll have a couple more playoff games too, right 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.280 that those count? Of course? Yeah, yeah, all the way 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.920 to the ye. You got a couple of your rookie 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.200 year in the playoffs, didn't you? I did, I got 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.440 I got a couple in San Francisco. I did? I did? 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.320 I have two interceptions and the fumble recovery, by the way, 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.600 So let's not forget that while we think of that 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.720 game in other in other ways, Well, you get some 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:17.600 skittles for all that. Thank you, Thank you. We could 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.760 we could name an MVP award after skittles. How about that, 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:26.280 the Skittles MVP Award. How how much do you think 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:30.240 Trayvon Diggs and CD Lamb for that matter, two rookies 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.080 top draft picks, your first and second round draft picks. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.880 How much do you think they have grown as players 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:41.560 even since the start of the regular season. I think 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:47.720 it's so much, especially involving this season. You know, these 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:52.640 guys are gonna come into twenty twenty one more more seeded. 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.320 You know they're they're gonna have more experienced mentally, they have. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.400 They have gone through so much more than any other 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.680 rookies have gone through this rookie class of twenty twenty 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.880 over the entire NFL, and especially being with the Dallas Cowboys, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.200 with the ups and downs that we've had. If you're 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.960 looking at Cedee Lamb, I'm if I'm Cede Lamb, I'm 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.640 looking at myself saying, you know what, I made some 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.520 mistakes this season, as a rookie should. But when you 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.440 look at all the quarterbacks that I've had thrown me 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.320 the ball and you look at my final numbers, those 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.040 some great numbers. Those some great numbers. Just like I 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.880 talked about with Digs. You know, he was injured for 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.760 most of a lot of the season, came back, got 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.440 the interception. Season's not over. He could get more he'll 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.360 have one of the better rookie campaigns even at this 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:43.840 point than any dB we've had in recent history with 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:48.000 the Dallas Cowboys.

If the Cowboys beat the 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:35.480 Giants on Sunday, and if Washington does not win against Philadelphia, 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:40.520 the Cowboys will be hosting a playoff game the following weekend. 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.320 And there's as I mentioned off the top of the show, 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.760 there's major bowl games going on at AT and T 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.280 Stadium this week. The Cotton Bowl as Oklahoma and Florida tonight, 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.760 and then the grand daddy of them all on Friday 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.520 afternoon at AT and T Stadium, it's the Rose Bowl 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.240 Game top ranked alub Mamma at number four Notre Dame 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.560 in a national semi final. You know, Mickey, and ever 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.320 since they announced they're going to have a little less 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.000 than eighteen thousand fans at the college games this week, 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.240 how do you think it's gone, Mickey? This year? With 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.919 fans in the stands at Cowboys games where there's been 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.840 as many as thirty thousand there. Yeah, you know, and 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.800 the way, as big as that stadium is, thirty thousand 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:31.399 is kind of less than a third capacity. The people 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.600 are spaced out so much. I mean, when you're sitting 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.160 there and we're pretty high in the press box, it 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:41.080 doesn't look like there's thirty thousand people in the stadium 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.960 now where you see kind of get a feel for 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.320 it if you get there. You know, normally I get 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.880 there two hours two and a half hours before kickoff. 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.560 But if you get there about an hour or before kickoff, 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.560 there's you know, a lot of people walking around outside. 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.800 But other than that, you know, it seems like it's 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.960 gone seamlessly. Now Here's the thing though, for tonight, for 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:07.120 the college game. You know, the Cowboys when they've played 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.040 those day games, or even if it's been a night game, 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.200 the doors are open and the roof's open. But when 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:17.280 it's raining, I don't think you can get the airflow 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.800 that Jerry was talking about unless they want to get 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.920 rain coming in. I guess you could leave the doors open, 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.040 but the roof would have to be closed, and that 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:32.680 hasn't happened in a game yet. That's right. It's interesting. Um, 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.560 and I don't even think they ever would have envisioned, 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:39.000 even when they built the stadium that they would have 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.199 the roof open for a game in which it was 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.639 raining outside. Yeah, let's open it up and just have 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.840 to kind of like old times. Yeah, it's probably not 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:54.440 better be wet and get COVID, be gevid. Yeah, but 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.560 I don't think. I don't think it's probably good for 0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:03.359 the video board to get rain on. Hey guys, I 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.359 had a I had I have a problem here in 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:12.879 regards to how things stack up this weekend. Uh. You know, 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:15.919 we were all talking about what the Cowboys have to 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:21.200 do right to stay in and that's all finally good. 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:24.960 We feel like we're gonna handle our business in New Jersey. 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:30.879 But what do you think Philadelphia is gonna do with 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:36.120 the Redskins? Do they hate the Redskins more than they 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:41.359 hate the Cowboys? Okay? Are they gonna lay down and 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:45.440 allow this team to go into to win the game 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.520 and go into the playoffs? Is little is little Jim 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:55.119 Schwartz right? Is he gonna be stubborn as always and 0:22:55.280 --> 0:23:00.239 refuse to lay down as maybe some Philadelphia fans might 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:04.640 want him to I think it's a very interesting notion. 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.520 Someone brought up to me that Philly just might take 0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:13.239 this game to spite us. What do you guys think. Well, now, 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.080 Jim Schortz, what he is telling the media is that 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.640 is that we're gonna call us. We need to make 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:24.040 this a no cap day, that Washington doesn't come into 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:27.440 our place and put division champion caps on in our stadium. 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:30.960 So that's the motivation that he's using for his players 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:39.680 right now. Do you believe him? Oh? Yeah, him, absolutely, Yeah, Jim. 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.800 Jim hates to lose. What guys recall when he got 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:46.920 mad at Jim harballf of not shaking his hand properly 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:49.840 when both of them were head coaches in the NFL, 0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:53.960 and he chased him down as as Hallball was going 0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:58.960 into the locker room and he confronted him about that. 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:03.320 Overenthusias asked the handshake at the end of the game. 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:08.320 So that's the gym SS I want to see on Sunday. 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:10.960 I don't want to see a nice GYMSS. I want 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:15.440 the guy that refuses to let I think that. Yeah, 0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.639 I think that's the guy you'll get. He wouldn't step 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:23.840 aside to let his grandmother cross the street. That's right, 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.919 you know. I think the other factor on it. I 0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:32.480 think the other factor on it, Everson, is that I 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.720 like the fact that Jalen Hurts is starting for Philadelphia 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:41.639 and that there's still some question mark going forward on Okay, 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.119 who's going to be their starting quarterback going forward. I 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:49.480 think that they want Jalen Hurts. Teammates really like him, 0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:54.600 and they would love to cement. I mean, it appears 0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:57.000 that Hurts might be the guy going forward, and they 0:24:57.000 --> 0:25:00.800 would love for him to have a fourth start that 0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:04.760 is strong, to finish the season on to help seem 0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:08.880 in his status going forward. So I like that aspect 0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.200 of it from an eagle standpoint as far as their 0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:13.760 motivation to do well in this game. Now, Bill, what 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:18.120 did you see coming out of Washington? And then that's 0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:22.520 the other thing on the Washington side is Taylor Heineke 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:26.919 took the first team reps in practice today. Ron Rivera 0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:30.000 just had his press conference here within the last half 0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:34.760 hour or so, and they're just they're not quite there yet. 0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:38.480 On reading it now, Alex Smith says he felt good 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:41.439 out there today. Not practicing was part of the plan, 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.480 but they want to make sure that Alex Smith is ready, 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:46.440
