You had to make that public something that 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:47.280 should have remained private. That is that a combine in 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.400 conjunction with the All American Game that's being played down 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.120 there high School All Americans in San Antonio. That is correct. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:59.760 We're doing the combines with the walkthroughs tonight tomorrow all day, 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.200 all day from like six thirty around six thirty at night, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.520 you know, drills and things that nature, so they can 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.440 attract from scouts. And then Saturday afternoon at twelve, if 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.640 I'm not mistaking, the game starts and the guys show 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.679 what they can do. Yes, that Army All America Game 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.799 has played every year and he's televised live, usually on NBC. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.280 I don't know who has it this year. Oh really? Yeah? 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.320 Oh yeah, it's a big not just in San Antonio, No, No, 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.840 it's a worldwide. Yeah. The Army All American Game that's 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.760 right up there with the under Armor Game was one 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.760 of the premier high school All America games in the 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:39.040 country has for years. So those are those ever since 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.440 those are kids that are you're going to be talking 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.679 about here in about three years come NFL Draft time. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.840 Some of those kids, I bet well you know this 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.919 is I've worked with a group called FBU and they 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.919 have They're the ones who invited me to this one. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.079 And so I'm the only person at the camp that 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:04.600 doesn't have them at coaching certificate certification. And so I 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.840 have worked with some of the best kids in the 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.600 country already, Bill for real, A lot of them from 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:15.120 the Houston area defensive back uh man, they're they're just 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.200 like your digs. I was able to to, you know, 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.320 make them understand how important turnovers can be working on 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.040 the ball skills. So everyone that I've seen, as good 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.480 as they are, they've actually improved as they've you know, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.880 been under Ottude. It is not just me, but old 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:38.440 school lim sins them from Chicago. Bears was out there, 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.520 but Lim went the Texas Tech Bill if I'm not mistaken. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.280 So yeah, We've we've got some quality h coaches out 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:47.920 there that are trying to make sure these kids doing 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.320 the right way the right way. You know, Everson, there's 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.720 a analytics site out there that disagrees with you about 0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:02.800 how important interceptions are for cornerbacks. Oh yes, I've got 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:07.280 to see this. Somebody, somebody told me they had Trayvon 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.320 Diggs ranked as the third best corner on the Cowboys 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.400 and eightieth best in the NFL. Well, they keep looking 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.280 at the numbers that he's giving up, And you know, 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.680 I did the same thing my rookie year. I know 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.719 this is second year, but my rookie year, I did 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:29.200 the same thing. You know, sometimes they balanced themselves out back. Yeah, 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.000 you give up the big play. But also I don't 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.520 think analytics can can really touch on. And I promise 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.440 it happen with me like you said it happen with Digs. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:47.560 It insights, uh inspired, right right, It's somehow effects the 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.479 spirit of the team itself, you know, the crowd itself. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.880 There's a there's an uplifting aspect of it that inspires 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.320 people on the other side. I know my rookie year 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.680 because I used to try to remember some of my interceptions. 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.599 I'm too over that now, but I would say at 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.960 least eight of my interceptions in nineteen eighty one led 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:14.200 to games scoring uh drive, touchdown scoring product. Yeah, they 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.680 can't figure that into numbers, by the way. Yeah, that's 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.120 what I'm saying, I don't know why not. So Ever, 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.320 sin of those dbs that you've worked with that are 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:30.000 at that combine, they did they sign with any major colleges. 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.599 Some of them had already signed with major college. Dude. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.839 And what was so amazing though, Bill, some of the 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.479 better dbs, And I want you to look out for 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.800 one dB himself. I coached Shimmy as well, but he 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.320 didn't need any coaching for me. His dad with a 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:50.840 head of a player, Chad Brooks son Charents Brooks. Yeah, Okay, 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.520 you know about this kid. He's been ahead of the 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.440 time because he was a sophomore in high school. Okay, 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.760 they play him anywhere he wants to play. He's anywhere 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:06.040 around the in the secondary. His dad and his mom 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:11.040 just raised him so well Little Alm. Yeah, and and 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.720 and he yeah. I can't say nothing about this kid. 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.840 I coached him. He was almost perfect, Bill, And he 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:21.520 wasn't the only one. The younger kids my best coach, 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:29.520 my best uh uh chald have been uh sophomore and 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.800 and and a couple of juniors. And Terrence Brooks from 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.120 Little Alm signed with Texas and uh so that's saying 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:42.400 Chet Brooks play today a m didn't he chat with me? Yeah, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:48.520 go figure right, Uh wow, all right, Uh, Mickey, you 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.240 want to bring us up to speed on what's going 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.560 on around here. Uh, there's a lot going on, Everson, 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.440 You're missing a lot here. As the world, I'm gonna 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.560 mute you guys. So so I'm that background. No. I 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.120 was gonna be okay as the world turns with the 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:07.760 Dallas Cowboys. Right, yesterday we find out Michael Parsons had 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:12.520 tested positive for go COVID. You know, there was like 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.560 a small chance he'd be ready to play Saturday night 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.600 in Philadelphia, and I think Mike McCarthy took care of 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:24.120 that today saying he will not play, so he's out. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.360 He will not have a chance to break the rookie 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.239 sack record that he was a sack and a half 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:35.160 behind Javan Curse established in nineteen ninety nine. And then 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:40.560 today we find out that Tyrant Smith and Anthony Brown 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:47.040 also in reserve COVID, so they won't be planned. And 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.200 he made it sound like there was a couple more 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.440 guys that they had to check on to see, which 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.440 is apparently their reports are. And he said that there 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.320 are some others who are sick, right, and so I'm 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:04.360 sure they're doing tests to see if if they test 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.920 positive or not. And so it's all up in the air. 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.120 Who's even gonna be on the field on Saturday. Trying 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.440 to challenge the Eagles for how many guys can miss 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.520 the game. And here we go with the Eagles. They 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.680 had twelve on Monday, and Nick Sirianni, their head coach, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.800 said today that all twelve are eligible will be eligible 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.720 to play on Saturday. He said they are playing, but 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.600 he said they will be eligible Saturday, So that five 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.559 day window will be up and we'll see if they 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:36.080 take them off reserve COVID. That's right, because if they don't, 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.439 then they get COVID call ups off the practice squad, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:46.920 and that would be one way of artificially resting guys, right, 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.360 And Everson sounds like he may have taken us off 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.679 mute there, and so that that means that that means 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.520 Everson wants to chime in. This work actually works pretty well. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:04.120 We no, I just wanted to ask if we would 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:09.160 look if the game would have remained on Sunday, would 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.280 Parsons have it not just a better chance? Would he 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.440 actually be able would he have been actually able to 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.920 play well. I mean if his five days would have 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:25.400 been up on Saturday. Well, it came out on on Wednesday, 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:29.800 it was announced on Wednesday, Saturday Sunday, and it was 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.720 after McCarthy's press conference on Wednesday, and so that would 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.160 that would probably put it money. But he didn't have 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.360 to miss five days if he if he's symptomatic and 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.680 tested negative. Yeah. Yeah, so if he to answer your question, Everson, 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.800 if he had to spend the entire five days out, 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.640 then he would not have been able to play on Sunday. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.679 And I've got another stupid question. When you say the 0:09:53.800 --> 0:10:00.400 term reserved covid it did that for some particular distinct 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:05.160 is that anyone who tests positive go it's it's the 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:10.680 equivalent of injured reserve. It's COVID reserve. That player essentially 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.480 does not count against the fifty three man roster um 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.040 the whole time they're on COVID reserve. That's just the 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.640 NFL's term for it. And then you have and then 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.200 you have the right at all, and then you have 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.840 the right to call somebody up off your practice squad 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:32.559 as a reserve covid U replacement, replacement. Yeah. So it's 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:38.840 not like covid light. It's the cod that's Covida. All 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.520 of them go on the same list. Yeah, okay, yeah, 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:46.719 yeah yeah. And so otherwise it's a Friday here, that's 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.800 which means it's a virtual Friday. And maybe they need 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.280 to be all virtual all the time. Now, well they've 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:57.040 been virtual, you know, except the practice. Can they practice virtually? 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.240 Do that? Right? You just get out the maddened game 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:04.880 and put all the cowboy guys in there virtually. Yeah, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.599 that's the same way of practicing virtually. That's exactly like 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.360 you could do that. You could do that. So they 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:17.560 will practice tomorrow before they take off for the game, uh, 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:22.520 to head to Philadelphia, and um, you know he still says, 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.000 you know, we're going there to win. So UM, I 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:31.320 assume Terrence Steele takes Tyrn Smith's place, Kelvin Joseph will 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.360 take Anthony Brown's place. Um, and now it's getting a 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.280 little dicey at the linebacker spot. But Keanunel is back 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.240 is back, and then Luke Gifford may have to step 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.480 in and take some snaps. Uh when it's like a 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:52.160 heavy uh for a formation offensively? Um, are the Eagles 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:57.400 treating this game any differently? Considering their problem. It sounds 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.440 like they they're gonna play, but they're gonna I don't 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:06.280 know how how intense they're you know, even though the 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.760 Cowboys chances of improving their playoff seating are not great 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.560 at all because they need tamp both Tampa Bay and 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.600 the Rams to lose. Uh and they would have to 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:21.199 win themselves to move up. The Eagles, the chances of improving, 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.240 I mean, what they gain from winning are are not 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.800 that big a deal. I mean, they go from the 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.240 seventh seed to the sixth seed. So yeah, so there's 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:36.280 not there's not real incentive that sound like it. Yes, 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.880 and two three, you know that makes even less sense 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:45.760 of it than the Cowboys, you know, trying to you know, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.600 go out and win the game. I think the Cowboys 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.800 still should try and win the game. I'm so old 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.720 school guys. I can't. I can't give offensive this strategic 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.480 resting and and all of that. I mean, because I 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:04.280 just like playing. I like playing. I wanted to make 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.800 some plays. I wanted to get out there and win 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.800 the game. And I just don't recall ever being put 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.240 in the position to where I chose. I was even 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.720 given the option of deciding not to play though, So 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.120 you didn't have any Antonio Brown in you yell no, 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.439 do you want to talk to Antonio Brown now? Or 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.360 you would? Uh? That's just a mess, isn't it? And 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.160 he's his contract has now been terminated. Yes, yeah, I 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.199 got rid of him. Yeah, those short guys, Bill, you 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.400 just you know, you have you have to keep it 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.640 out on those short guys. Many shark fast guys they can't. Yeah, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.559 they might go off. He had his own Mick want 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.800 All in the stadium that you know what, you know what. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.719 It reminded me of that scene in uh Slapshot the 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.800 Hockey movie when the guy did the strip teas on 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.680 the ice took us close off. When I saw that, like, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.400 oh it's slap shots, I think he was going to 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:09.640 it seemed as if if the lacest in his pant 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.599 didn't kind of maybe knighte it up or something to 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.000 seem like you know how pants were going to right, 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:16.679 You know when you gotta go to the restaom and 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.760 you get that knight up and they're like, oh lord, 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.880 I can't do so. Yeah, that seemed like what happened 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:26.520 with him and he that stopped him from continuing with 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.200 discarding his quo. But how many people, though at their jobs, 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.920 would love the opportunity to take this job and shove 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.200 it and do that? Right? That's how I'm going out 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:44.000 right there? I mean Day Chappelle had of course, Day 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.240 Chappelle's comedy, so he had a when keeping the reel 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.440 goes wrong episode, That's what that was. He kept it real, 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.160 but it went way wrong. He was don't have a 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.320 job now. A lot of a lot of things went 0:14:54.400 --> 0:15:01.600 wrong a year ago to day too. The show just 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:06.040 took a turn making you have a mix shot in you. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.760 I was just I was just looking. I was just 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:14.120 looking for a transition that it sounds like a target. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:21.440 Wasn't am I being targeted? You're not being targeted? All right? Okay, 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:27.560 it's so uh whey five? Do you if you don't 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.600 have a mix shot in you? Maybe there? Ever, sin 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.200 do you have a quick shot in you before? Well, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.800 let's put it this way. If if it's something that 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:42.840 is not universally celebrated, is it an anniversary or what 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:47.160 do you call it? You will call it a moment 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.040 in time, a moment in time, or a bad moment 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.960 in time? Yeah, what do we call Pearl Harbor Day? 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:58.960 Is that an anniversary or it's a day infamy day 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:04.680 of the Yeah, yeah, that's not really an anniversary day 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.600 that lives in infamy. There you go, there you go. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.000 It's like the D Day invasion. So I'm missing something? 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:16.520 What what? What? What? Em? I want to mute you guys? 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:22.840 But what's happening here? What happens? It's uh January sixth? 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:32.760 Oh lord? Come on, man, comes a few Bill has 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.840 I bet you Bill has some classmates out there. I 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.040 thought I thought maybe Micky wanted to talk about the 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:48.360 Vikings or something. Yeah, considering the leader of that group. Okay, um, 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.200 so do we keep everything around or what do we 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.080 do here? Come on? Keep me on. I kind of 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.920 like this. We'll see how I think it's. I think 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.480 it works when you mute yourself, then we don't talk 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.320 over each other. And when you're not muted, we know 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.960 that you got something to say. There you go? Yeah, 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:08.920 can we do it in my hand? I'm like, laid 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.040 in my hand. We need to do this every show, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.880 even when you're in studio. I think Chris could pull 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.080 that off. Okay, all right, no telling what is coming 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:25.240 out of Mickey's mouth?

Experience Experience, Experience, experience. All right, Bill Jones, 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.960 Mickey Spagnola here inside the SWBC podcast studio at the 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.640 Starr in Frisco, and Everson Walls is making his way 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:06.480 to San Antonio where he is a coach at the 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:10.400 All American Combine or something like that in San Antonio. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:15.720 And by the way, we need to help Everson out here. 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:22.600 He tells us that he is just south of Hillsboro. Hi, okay, 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:27.359 Hillsboro's thirteen miles away. And Chris beam Are, a stute producer, 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:32.119 said that be prepared for a two hour wait getting 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:36.320 through Waco. And there is a bypass I understand around Waco, 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.679 but we can't remember what that bypass is. So anyone 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.080 listening it wants to pass along to Everson what exit 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.720 he can take to get around the construction that is 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.480 prevalent in Waco. Let us know, yeah, or just give 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:53.359 Everson a call. No, no, he's on the phone with us, 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:03.960 all right, So Everson with Anthony Brown on COVID reserve. 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:09.879 Kelvin Joseph, who has had increased snaps here recently, is 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:13.120 going to get probably likely a full dose on Saturday night. 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:16.280 What have you seen out of Kelvin Joseph? You know, 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.840 it was almost like what I saw from Dig last year, 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:23.399 a little bit less. So you can see Diggs had 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:27.600 exceptional skills, but yeah, he just didn't have the preparation 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:32.359 time of practice time during the heavy parts of COVID. 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:34.920 And I keep saying that if that was in the pan. 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:39.080 But what you have with Joseph is a guy not 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:44.160 much experience, but you he's starting to get more as 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:48.280 this season has gone on. It's good that he's gotten 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.639 a little bit more playing time here recently because you know, 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.000 that could have been his dresing obviously his rest rehearsal 0:21:54.760 --> 0:22:00.439 for what's to come. What they saw the Cardinals. You know, 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.080 you need to be prepared for that type of intensity. 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.159 You know, when you play defensive bad guys I really did. 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:11.640 In any position, you have to be so in tune 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:16.800 to not just yourself but everything that's going on around you, 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.000 you know, and I know that's kind of hard to 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.199 figure out for a rookie but I had to do 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:26.080 as a highline. I'm watching the splits on the wide receivers. 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.840 I'm looking for ibvia set ups and things of that nature. 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:32.400 So he hadn't had a chance to refine that type 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:36.080 of you know, his instinct in that regard. But these 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:41.639 last few games, he's had some moments to at least 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.639 say that he's not just going out there cold turkey. 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.600 And then I would imagine in this case, the next 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:53.199 guy up would be Nashan Wright, because that's what you 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:55.280 always have to look at. You know, you get somebody 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.040 to take over, but now what happens if you get 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.840 another injury? Who's up next? And I would imagine it's 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:06.840 na Shan, right, So well, he'll I mean, he'll be out. 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.439 He came back last week, came back last week and 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.320 look like he had been on COVID. Yeah, and they 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:16.440 limited well, and they limited his snaps because he was 0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.000 coming off COVID, so he would have more of a 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.040 full dose unless they want to limit his snaps just 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:25.000 because they've got a playoff game the next week. And 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.120 so I mean, we could be in a situation here 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.879 where you know, and we'll see what the Eagles do 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.879 as far as what who they're playing, or how long 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:36.800 they're if they play whatever starters they do, play, how 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:39.720 long they're in there. If the Cowboys can get control 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:43.000 of the game and accomplish what they want to accomplish 0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:47.000 from a positive standpoint, and then other players get playing time, 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:49.560 I think that we'll probably see na Sean Wright get 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:52.120 more snaps than what we've seen, don't you think, Mickey, Yeah, 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:54.840 I think so. And it would be a pretty good 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.960 test if they decide to play their wide receivers because 0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:00.960 it's a pretty good group, right. Uh yeah, if we 0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:06.240 start very good Davanta Smith uh and then uh Quez 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:10.440 Watkins has caused some problems for people along with Jalen Ragers. 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:14.040 So you know the interesting on Rager is, uh Ragor 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.399 hasn't produced that. But I mean I'm in surprised, you know, 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.919 first raft draft pick out of TCU. I mean you 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:23.920 have their stats there. Yeah, as a season, I don't think. 0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.640 I don't think JA doesn't doesn't trust him as much 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:30.120 as he has trusted some other safer options, I think, 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:35.120 you know, and what they've done offensively, Uh. You know, 0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.919 when you look at the Eagles, they started the season 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.560 two and five, they were three and six at one point, 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:43.600 and now they're sitting there nine and seven and and 0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:46.600 so they've uh, what is that they've won six of 0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:50.520 the last seven games, and they've run the ball. They've 0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:53.879 they've made a concerted effort to run the ball and uh, 0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:56.600 and that's been very effective with Jalen Hurts at quarterback. 0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:01.320 It's a matter of fact, Um, they've moved up in 0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:09.119 rushing offense two number one. Wow, and see that that 0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:13.520 concerns me because that's the best way to keep our 0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:16.600 offense off the field. And let me. Let me run 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:21.360 down Jalen Raiger's production here during this stretch, because there 0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:24.200 hasn't been much production out of Jalen Rager. He has 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.639 thirty one catches on the season, and when you look back, 0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:33.880 starting with the Detroit game, one catch, no yards. Then 0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.920 against the Chargers one catch minus six yards, Denver one catch, 0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:41.240 twelve yards, New Orleans one catch, he had two catches. 0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:44.280 The next game. He had a couple of weeks ago 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.640 against Washington he had three catches in the game. So 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:50.320 he has not been involved that much in their offense. 0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:54.440
