About that that's like 17 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: five and a half months later. Everson, do you have 18 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: a real set of pants on? I don't know that 19 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: warm up pants. Well, I'm in my usual I'm in 20 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: my usual shorts, I've been wearing shorts since March eleven, 21 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: and I'm going to put on big boy pants myself. 22 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: Make you later today as I'm headed to the start 23 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: to take the first episode of the Mike McCarthy Show. 24 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: This is very good, and this is like a new 25 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: official start. That's exactly right. This is the official start, 26 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: you know. And for me, the way I look at it, 27 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: every year or day is basically the end of the summer. 28 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: And so I enjoyed my last day of summer yesterday. 29 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: Even when it's a normal year, when training camps started, 30 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, in late July whatever, it's still Labor Day 31 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: is the end of summer for me. You know, I'm 32 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: not getting into pool anymore. It's football season for sure. 33 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: Cool days over for the summer. I made that decision yesterday. 34 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: I had one long last swim of summer yesterday afternoon. 35 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: So I'm in shaping raring to go here. Well, good Bill, 36 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: you know. One of the security guards here asked me, so, 37 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: do you have a good long weekend? I said, what 38 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: do you mean we worked? What about Labor Day? I said, 39 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, during football season, once training camp starts, the 40 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: last holiday you enjoy is basically fourth of July because 41 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: all the holiday days come after all the way through 42 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: New Year's there's not a holiday that we get off. 43 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Labor Day. To me, it's not 44 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: a figurative turn all while I played, it was literal 45 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: because coaches tried to kill us on Labor Day. We 46 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: labored much throughout my entire football career. Well, there's so 47 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: much to get to. So much has happened since we 48 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: last convened the last Thursday, as the roster has set 49 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: a sixteen man practice squad as well, and that's ever 50 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: evolving all around the league, making us to kick things off. 51 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: What's your takeaways as this RAMS week has begun. You know, 52 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: I don't think when we saw the final roster after 53 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: they had decided to release Haha, Clinton Dix, that there 54 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: really wasn't any big surprise. When we got to the 55 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: fifty three kind of knew what was coming with the 56 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: guys that they ended up placing on injured reserve. And 57 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: to do that, you know, they ended up cutting a 58 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: couple veteran guys that didn't have to go through waivers 59 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: because to put guys on recall injured reserve, they have 60 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: to be on the fifty three man roster for twenty 61 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: four hours. So that got all taken care of by Monday, 62 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: with c J. Goodwin, Joe Thomas, those guys, and Justin 63 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: March being re signed as they put Lale Collins on 64 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: injured reserve along with Shawn Lee and Ventel Bryan. So 65 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure they're done with all that just yet, 66 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: because if you look at a couple of the guys 67 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: that made that fifty three man roster, there's probably room 68 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: to make some moves. And because of the way guys 69 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: that they constructed the sixteen band practice squad, with the 70 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: ability to put what is it like a half dozen 71 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: guys with you know, you didn't have to worry about 72 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: a crude seasons, then there could be some more or 73 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: moves when guys come off of that and they put 74 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: him on the basically fifty three man roster or they 75 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: just promoted him for that Sunday on game day. A 76 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: guy like Eric Smith, the offensive tackle that they signed, 77 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: had played with the Giants the previous here, and then 78 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: even Brandon Carr at some point, I think when they 79 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: think he's football ready, he probably gets put on the 80 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. Also, I gotta tell you, Bill, 81 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: I had. I made an urgent call to Spagnola right 82 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: after the show last week. I thought we were being 83 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: sabotaged by Spags on his own show. I found out 84 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: about Clinton Dix as soon as we got off the air, 85 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: and I texted Spags and I said, did you know 86 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: of this already? I was all ready to condemn him 87 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: as a saboteur, And it was good to know that 88 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: he had no idea because it was just timing was 89 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: too good. Way it was it was right after we 90 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: got done on Thursday, and we got done. Yeah, yeah, 91 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: that's right. So well let's start right there. And and 92 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: what do you make, ever son of that move? And 93 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: then the subsequent signing to the practice squad. I didn't 94 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: that's something. You got a guy who's been in the 95 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: league for twelve years in Brandon card he's on the 96 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: practice squad to start things off. I don't think he's 97 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: going to stale the practice squad for long. It's just 98 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: a way of getting things going right now. As as 99 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: Mickey said, as who they get him up to speed, uh, 100 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: and see where he is as far as being in 101 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: football shape and that sort of thing. But what's your 102 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: take on on that move, I must have met. I 103 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: was shocked, but I was not in on. You know 104 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 1: what was going on in practice, uh, Spags had told 105 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: me after the deal was done, and after I was 106 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: ready to come over there and blow up his house. U. 107 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: I assumed that Dix was playing well. I just assumed 108 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: that he was doing making the doing the work that 109 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: he had to do getting the young players ready. But 110 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: when you lose your job in practice, when they bring 111 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: you in, when your guy, your old coach brings you in, 112 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: makes you the starting player at a free safety position. 113 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: And I believe it. According to the readouts, he lost 114 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: his job almost the same day that he started. So 115 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: those are things I was not aware of, and these 116 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: are things that Spags was aware of, so not surprised 117 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: about it. The reason I was in favor of it 118 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: was simply because we need experience in the secondary. I 119 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: truly believe that we have been working with young guys 120 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: for a number of years here now and it has 121 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: not panned out. These same players, we're bringing them back. 122 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: We're bringing back Brown, who I thought was a great athlete, 123 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: but he just had never made the plays I wanted 124 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: him to make. You can be a great athlete. All. 125 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: You want to have all these tools, but you have 126 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: to be game ready. And I don't mean just physically, 127 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: I mean mentally. You have to be You have to 128 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: know how to make a play in the secondary. You 129 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: have to know how to anticipate routes and situations. And 130 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: I think we are a defensive backfield of reactionary players 131 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: as opposed to guys that are really anticipating what might come. 132 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: I still see that now. I don't see that how 133 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: that has changed, and that once again it worries me 134 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: because we need that secondary to show what I think 135 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: is a very good defense could be one of the 136 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: better defenses in the NIFFA. So let me give you 137 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: a couple of reasons the Cowboys dissatisfaction with Hawha Clinton Dix. 138 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,239 Speaker 1: First of all, they cut a guy that they guaranteed 139 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: two point two five million dollars too, not a great amount. 140 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: So when they signed him to that one year deal 141 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: and that's all that was guaranteed, that got my intent 142 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: is up that Okay, he's on his third team in 143 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: four years. I don't know how how happy you know 144 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be now again to release him? 145 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: When they did, you know they stuffed two point two 146 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: five million of debt money into the salary cap number two. 147 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: He started off, as Everson said, working with the first 148 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: set of safeties along with Xavier Woods. They moved him 149 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: after about a week, maybe week and a half to 150 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: second team and promoted Dorian Thompson. Darian Thompson, And everything 151 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: we heard about Darien Thompson was how well he was playing. 152 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: This is the best he's play. He knows what he's 153 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: due and he can get people lined up. So I thinking, 154 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: h maybe that had something to do it. Well, Xavier 155 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: Woods last week hurts himself, uh, strains a groin in 156 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: that Cowboys night at at and T Stadium. It was 157 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: a Sunday, And the next day when they practice, there 158 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: goes haha, Clinton Dix back with the first team. And 159 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: so they saw him back with the first team again 160 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: for three practices, I believe, and they still weren't happy 161 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: with him and decided to let him go and put 162 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: and get back one point one point five million of 163 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: what they would have owed him. So they're fact dissatisfaction 164 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: with him was on three different levels. So you know 165 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: that's always Bill and ever since my you know, my 166 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: cautionary tale with free agency. You see a name, you 167 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: recognize a name, and you go, oh, yeah, let's get 168 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: that guy because he's good. Well, maybe he's not good 169 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: enough when he's changing teams so so much in a 170 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: couple of years, and evidently, you know, they made a 171 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: really smart contract for him, the fact that they didn't 172 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: guarantee the whole thing, which was three point seven five million. 173 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: Tay Will McKay. He must have a crystal ball somewhere 174 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: because almost every movie he's making right now, he's not 175 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: only making great moves, but he's also covering himself on 176 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: some of the more questionable moves, such as a Clinton 177 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: Dick signing. I don't know what, how how was not doing. 178 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if he didn't have any sense of urgency. 179 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if he couldn't grasp the you know, 180 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: the crust of the defense. I don't know what it was, 181 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: but you know, when you have a guy that has 182 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: had that much promise throughout his career, even though at 183 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: the end you were having some issues, I don't know 184 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: what it could have been in regards to grasping this 185 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: concept of the Cowboys defense. So I'm gonna trust the 186 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: coaches and see that they have decided to go with 187 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: a young group, but even bringing in Brandon cart the 188 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: safety position, he was still part of a defense that 189 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: really wasn't showing him to make many plays on the ball. 190 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: They were always good at one on one, but not 191 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,239 Speaker 1: making any plays on the ball. So hopefully the experience 192 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: he gained in Baltimore, he can bring it back here 193 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: from in a different position. He was playing corner when 194 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: he was here, but in the different position as safety. 195 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: Hopefully he can have some type of experience by having 196 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: that overall view from that safety position that will allow 197 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: him to lead a very year. You know, after that 198 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: first game, we'll we'll find out what the rest of 199 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: the league thinks about haha, Clinton dicks because obviously you know, 200 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: he didn't have to go through waivers, but no one 201 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: claimed him, No one you know, signed And now you say, well, 202 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: maybe they're waiting after the first game, so we don't 203 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: have to guarante. He doesn't have the one time opportunity 204 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: to take guarantee or to take a guaranteed base salary 205 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: if he should get released. So next week, if no 206 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: one claims him, then something's up. The one thing that 207 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: I think took place also in the decision was the 208 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: fact that if he's going to be a backup, he's 209 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: got to play special teams, and I didn't. I don't 210 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: know if they thought he was either willing or capable 211 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: to help out on special teams. And the other thing 212 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: to keep in mind, even though he was with the 213 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: Packers was a first round draft pick. Of course, Dom 214 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: Capers was the defensive coordinator of the Packers back then. 215 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: This is a different defensive coaching staff, and it does 216 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: raise an eyebrow when he's been through so many teams 217 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: here the last few years. I gotta ask, Okay, Mickey, 218 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: you are in the SWBC Mortgage studios there at the start, 219 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: I am let's go, Everson. I've got to ask you, 220 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: who is that behind you? That that picture of number 221 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:02,359 Speaker 1: twenty four, Well, let me guess. Hey, I don't recognize 222 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: him because I think it's black head, but it looks 223 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: like Everson Walls. I just always put it up. I 224 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: think I've mentioned it before. Usually I just have a 225 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: blank wall behind me. And one of the Twitter followers, 226 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: one of our Twitter followers on mix shots, suggested that 227 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: I spruced up the background, so don't mind the don't 228 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: mind the Tequilo over on this side. Just let though Everson, 229 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: there's a there's a Larry Brown resemblance in that picture there. 230 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: I don't think Larry Brown was even born when I 231 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: got that interception. So let's let's get off of that. 232 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: So since we were, you know what, since we were 233 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: talking about a cornerback moving to safety, Everson, what, what 234 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: is that transition for a guy that's played basically corner although, 235 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: you know what, towards the end of his career here, 236 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: so he was with the Cowboys twenty twelve through twenty sixteen. Uh, 237 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: they had some alignments back there when they played three 238 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: safeties across the back and he was one of those 239 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: safeties on the outside, and they moved somebody else into 240 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: a true cornerback spot. So for Brandon Carr, what's that 241 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: transition like? Well, it really depends on your background that 242 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: goes back and ways. I was blessed because at Grambling State, 243 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: I played every position in the secondary. In my junior year, 244 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: grew up even at Bergner High School, safety was my 245 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: original position. I started playing cornerback at Grambling just in 246 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: order to keep my scholarship. I had to learn how 247 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: to cover. So that's a whole different thing when you're 248 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: in safety. If you're in natural safety, then you have 249 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: an ability to figure out what the offense is trying 250 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: to do almost from the snap of the ball. You 251 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: have to understand where where your critical points are before 252 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: the ball is snapped, and then you work your way 253 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: down in progression in regards to what can hurt you 254 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: in your secondary. So I'm hoping Brandon had either known 255 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: before or was able to kind of cultivate that type 256 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: of instinct by being a safety. You know, I played. 257 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: To me one of the more underrated safeties that I've 258 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: ever played with was Michael Downs, and Michael Downs was 259 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: by Jane Starters over and over the end. You gotta 260 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: be on the past because the flex was like that 261 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: for a free safety, but you also have to come 262 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: in and plug on the run. So his responsibilities as 263 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: a safety for the flex was totally different. A little 264 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: bit more. They ask more of our safeties back in 265 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: the eighties with the flex defense. Nowadays, you don't really 266 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: have to worry about that. You just make sure that 267 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: nothing gets deeper than you. But to me, a true 268 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: safety that's gonna make some plays, you have to anticipate 269 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: where your dangers are and you also have to figure 270 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: out exactly where they're trying to go with the ball. 271 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: And there are times when a safety can make all 272 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: the difference in the world in a passing game. His 273 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: cornerbacks will know to trust him to be there. Number one, 274 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: The safety himself has to make sure that those cornerbacks 275 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: understand where they need to be. And if you start 276 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: working that thing together as a fluid secondary, it's a 277 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: beautiful thing. And I'm hoping car can understand that there 278 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: are going to be some times in the gold ball game, 279 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: especially in the red zone, especially during key parts of 280 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 1: the game, where bad free safety can make all the 281 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: difference in the world and he can make some plays 282 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: on the ball that can save your team. I'm hoping 283 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: that that's where guys like Brandon Carr can do I'm 284 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: hoping Thompson can do it as well. Even you know what. 285 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: And the thing that I think he emphasized or at 286 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: least mentioned during we got a chance to talk to 287 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: him for about ten minutes on one of our virtual interviews, 288 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: and he talked about how he needs to study and 289 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: study this defense because he felt like the key to 290 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: play in safety was anticipe patient and I think you 291 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: understand that. And I've always thought that the safety needs 292 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: to know what's going to happen before it happens by 293 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: reading what's going on. I thought that was one of 294 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: the great attributes that Darren Woodson had when he played 295 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: a true safety spot, that he could diagnose what was 296 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: going on. So I thought that was a good sign 297 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: that he knew he needed to study. By the way, 298 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: they're not practicing today and he was out on the 299 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: field by himself kind of pantomiming his back pedal and 300 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: turning to like, go get the ball, so he's already 301 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: kind of working on that. He said he was in shape, 302 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: said he started strength and conditioning back in February and 303 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: didn't give up even though he wasn't on a team. 304 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 1: So I think that's what people need to understand the 305 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: fact that he didn't go through training camp with anybody, 306 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: and obviously there was no offseason, so this is all 307 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: a start for him. And I thought Jerry Jones comment 308 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: on him, I thought was very clear on what they 309 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: think about the safety position because he said we were 310 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: it was a very fortuitous opportunity to sign a guy 311 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: like that. So when he said that and that kind 312 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: of got into the answer about Earl Thomas this morning, 313 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: and it sounded like, you know, okay, we got kind 314 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: of a veteran guy back there, and it's not at 315 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: a big price. And by the way, my guess is, 316 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: and I haven't seen this yet, that even though Brandon 317 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: cars on the practice squad, he's probably not making practice 318 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: squad money. You can pay those guys whatever you want, 319 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: and so I would imagine they signed him to a 320 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: salary and then first chance they get when he's ready. 321 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: And Jerry said, probably not this week, but maybe in 322 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: a week or two he'd be ready to go. And 323 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: we got to take a break here. But Brandon's been 324 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: waiting in the wings right here in Dallas ever since 325 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: last season. In fact, I saw him.

You know though, Mickey, I was wondering, as 386 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 1: you're reading that, have you been practicing? No? I just 387 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: found that after I printed it out the other day. 388 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: Reading you could tell I was never a good reader 389 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: in great school. It's the new. Actually, these are producer, 390 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: These are the new, That's what it is. These are 391 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: the new old glasses. How about this for getting lucky? 392 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: I sat on my glasses and uh mess up the frame. 393 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: So I was thinking, well, if I can find the 394 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: same frame, I can just pop out the lenses and 395 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: put them back in. Well I couldn't. And so when 396 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: I went to the eye doctor for my nearly exam 397 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: and then I needed to get new glasses, I went 398 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: over there and the lady that was helping me pulls 399 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: out four of these things that I go, well, those 400 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: look like the ones I got, and she goes they 401 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: are I said, well, can they be my backups? So 402 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: these are the new old glasses. Nice so ever said, 403 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: what kind of shape are you in right now? I'm 404 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: in pretty good shape. Pretty good. I got my bike 405 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: fixed yesterday. About SPADs we're riding on my team speed 406 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: nicky or you can't be in very good shape because 407 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: you've been honest, you know what, it's getting better. And 408 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: I found this little contraption that you can put your 409 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: back wheel of your bike on the stand and pedal 410 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: away while you're inside and not go anywhere. So I've 411 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: been working all right. Let me ask you this. There's 412 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: there's a reason I'm asking this. Do you know what 413 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: your resting heart rate is? Resting heart rate like, how 414 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: high I can get it? Yeah or just oh when 415 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: you yeah. Well last time, last time I did it, 416 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: it was it was somewhere around sixty or seventy. Okay, 417 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: ever fifty two right now, Bill, Okay, I went to 418 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: the dentist this morning, and they check my blood pressure 419 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: and heart rate, and I always I have learned. I 420 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: have learned to like going to the dentist when I 421 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: am in shape because they'll check my pulse and if 422 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm in shape, my heart rate will be very low. 423 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: I was at forty seven. Nice, I was my heart rate. 424 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: It might be a new record for me. Anyway. That 425 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: was just on the side. That shows that I'm ready 426 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: for football season. All right, we're ready to go. Now, 427 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: here's the deal. Five months from now, at the end 428 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: of the football season, when I'm so busy where I 429 00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: can't work out, I want to see what my heart 430 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: it is. Then it'll be. But you set the ball 431 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: pretty high, Bill, so you know, forty plus that's not 432 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: bad at all. I'm if I if I don't get 433 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: much to eat, I'm looking at about forty two. So 434 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: they oh, there you go. Wow. All right, right, Mickey. 435 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: Another thing that happened since we last convened last Thursday, 436 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory reinstated. What's your take on, mister Gregory. Of course, 437 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a while before we see him even 438 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: either in practice. Yeah, they reinstated him, but put some 439 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: stipulations on it, and probably for good reasons, since he 440 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: hasn't been involved in football since the end of the 441 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen season. Uh, so he's gonna have to uh 442 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's been conditionally reinstated. Uh, and they're gonna 443 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: give him six weeks with the team, uh starting this week, uh, 444 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: to to get ready to play uh and I and 445 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm guessing they're also still monitoring his behavior during those 446 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: six weeks to make sure that he doesn't just rush 447 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: in and all he worries about is playing football. So, 448 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: you know what, it can only help, you know. Mike 449 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: Nolan was speaking of it yesterday and he talked about 450 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:21,479 Speaker 1: DPR at least designated pass rusher, but also possibly like 451 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: a strong side linebacker too. So they've done that a 452 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: little bit with their defensive ends and uh, you know, 453 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,719 Speaker 1: so they see him with couple of dual roles. But again, 454 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: as Mike McCarthy said yesterday, you know, our first concern 455 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: is just getting him acclimated to being on a football 456 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: team and make sure he's still taking care of his 457 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: life and do things that will allow him to play football. 458 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's a win win situation for 459 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: the Cowboys because it's not a big financial expenditure against 460 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: the cap, and you know, if he's got himself straight, 461 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: then you know they've got two guys kind of in 462 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: the same boat along with Alden Smith. You know, back 463 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: in the day, we wouldn't even care about what the 464 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,959 Speaker 1: kid's life was like. I mean, let's be real, if 465 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: he wasn't ready to play football, then we're just gonna 466 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: throw them away. So it's kind of good to see 467 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys really kind of investing a bit in 468 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: his well being as a person, because that seems to 469 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: be the issues that have kept him off the field 470 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: for the past what facts three Yeah, December twenty eighteen 471 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: was the last time he played. And you're talking about 472 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 1: a guy that you know, football is not a problem 473 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: with him. That's not what you have to worry about 474 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: with Gregory. These are things off the field that he 475 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: had to deal with. I don't know if he's dealing 476 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: with depression and things that nature. That's done a tough life, 477 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: and I'm glad the Cowboys are not giving up on him. 478 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: My old agent, Winberg is always talking about, uh, you know, 479 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: trying to get him back in the league, and I 480 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: think behind the things, he's been trying to help out 481 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think Gregory has his own agent, 482 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: but you know, everyone's been trying to give Randy's advice 483 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: on I'm doing things. But this is something that he 484 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: has had to figure out on his own, and I 485 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: hope he has because as long as he's getting stuff 486 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: together off the field, I don't think you have to 487 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: worry about how much he's going to bring to you 488 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: on the field. Notice Peter King and his predictions for 489 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: the season, and he's tabbed Alden Smith as his preseason 490 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: comeback Player of the Year. It would be the biggest 491 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: comeback ever after not playing since November fifteenth of twenty fifteen. Right, 492 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: that's a long way to come back. But you know what, 493 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: everything we've seen so far of him on the field, 494 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: ed sure looks like when they go out there for 495 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: the first snap in La Sunday night, he's on the 496 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: field as the right defensive end and I haven't seen 497 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: any signs of while this guy can't play. And I 498 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: remember Mike McCarthy was asked if somebody didn't know about 499 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: Alden Smith and they saw him out at practice for 500 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: the first time, what would they say? And his response was, 501 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: who's that number fifty eight? So they have certainly high 502 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: expectations for him at this point. Now, how many plays 503 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: can he play when you haven't played that long? You 504 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: know who knows. But with the acquisition of Everson Griffin, 505 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to play sixty snaps in a game. 506 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: And Griffin looks like he's got the flexibility to not 507 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: only play outside but do a little pass rushing inside too. 508 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: My goods, when you think about these three guys, all 509 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: three of them have had issues off the field, and 510 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: it's really kind of good to see the Cowboys still 511 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: taking the vested interest in them. Of course, the upside 512 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: is they're gonna kick ass on the field, But I'm 513 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: just glad that they're making an effort to make sure 514 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: that these guys are not forgotten about.

What was the 572 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: headline coming out? Well, I think there was, you know, 573 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: kind of a bunch of things. One of the things 574 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: that he was asked was what happens if a team 575 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: has a guy or two or three test positive the 576 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: Saturday before the game, or doesn't pass the protocol on Sunday, well, 577 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: they cancel a game. And he emphatically said, no, I 578 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: don't see that the NFL is going to canceled games 579 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: that are already scheduled for television. This isn't baseball where 580 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: you can play two the next day or the next week. 581 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: So I thought that was very instructive. I told you 582 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: what he said about car about Xavier Woods. He was 583 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: asked what he thought the difference in this team would 584 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: be to maybe the past few under Jason Garrett, and 585 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,479 Speaker 1: he said, we won't be as predictable. So I think 586 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: he and that's what the players have said about disguising 587 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,240 Speaker 1: things and doing different things out of the same look. 588 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 1: And then you know, he kind of went on towards 589 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: the end about what's going to happen with the national anthem, 590 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: and he really didn't get specific on any of that, 591 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: but he said that what he expects from his players 592 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: is to be able to do something to call to 593 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 1: make a difference, and he didn't say that kneeling doesn't 594 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: make a difference and that players should do what they 595 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: feel like they need to do. But he also continued 596 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: to intimate that it should be a team thing. He thought, 597 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: but I think he's given some leeway on this, so 598 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: be interesting to see what happens. I mean, you know, 599 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: the fact that they're playing a game should scream three 600 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: inch headlines. Right, everything we've gone through and they're going 601 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: to play a game. But what's going to take precedence 602 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: is what happens during the national anthem, maybe even more 603 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: so than who wins or who loses. So I'll be 604 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: interested to see that. And I thought the other thing 605 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: that was very instructive. Guys, he was asked what did 606 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's contract do for upcoming negotiations with DAK and 607 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: he basically said nothing. Really, He goes, we we understand 608 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: where the market is, and we knew where the market 609 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: would go when those guys get uh signed, So really 610 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 1: had no effect on what we're trying to do for 611 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: a long term deal. And I'm just going to point 612 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: out one thing, you know, So he got a four 613 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: year deal right for one hundred and what was on 614 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: one of the salary websites. It was one hundred and 615 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: fifty six million, four year extension. But guess what he 616 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: had two years left on his original contract this year 617 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: and then his fifth year option that Houston had already 618 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 1: picked up, So in those two years it was twenty 619 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: million dollars combined. So it's a six year, one hundred 620 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,479 Speaker 1: and eighty million dollar contract to me, which averages out 621 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: to what thirty million a year, and his guarantees um 622 00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: basically run out after after four years and they can 623 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: get out of that contract. And sixty four million dollars 624 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: of that money that's not guaranteed is in those last 625 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: two in base salaries. So while it looks like, oh 626 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 1: my god, they gave him forty million a year, well 627 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: the extension was forty million, but he's going to play 628 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: for two years under his previous contract. So I think 629 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: you have to look at it that way and look 630 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: at what the guarantees are. I mean, he got guaranteed 631 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten point seven million. Well that's basically 632 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: what the Cowboys were offering dak under a guarantee. So 633 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: we'll see how it plays out, but I don't think 634 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: it knocks everything a skewed for the contract for Dak Well. 635 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: I was just glad that Jerry kind of finally came 636 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,720 Speaker 1: out and address some of the issues of the summer, 637 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: he hadn't really said much at all. Been kind of 638 00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: disappointed in that, because you know, Cowboys are amazing team. 639 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: They are the number one sports franchise in the world. 640 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: I think along with that, I always thought that Jerry 641 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys really owed it to the rest of 642 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: the sports world to speak out as loud or louder 643 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: than any other sports franchise. I get it that there 644 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: was baseball season, basketball season coming up, and the baseball 645 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: players and basketball players took over in regards to the narrative. 646 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: As far as kneeling for the national anthem is concerned, 647 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: and black lives matter at any cause, Brianna Taylor, all 648 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: these causes that are out there, I think the NFL 649 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,359 Speaker 1: really should as the commissioner spoke up. I thought the 650 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: owners should have been right there with the commissioner speaking up. 651 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: In some way, I think that silence really doesn't do 652 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: well to what's going on in society right now. You 653 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: talked about the national anthem and kneeling for it. The 654 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: thing about kneeling for the national anthem, it's not about 655 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: who doesn't kneel, it's and it's not about who does kneel. 656 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: It's about you doing what you want to do. So 657 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: if I'm not gonna judge you for not kneeling, as 658 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: long as I know you're my boy, you're my teammate, 659 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: and we're all together on this field, and I'm not 660 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: gonna judge you if you're not kneeling. So these are 661 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: the kind of things that should have come out of 662 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,439 Speaker 1: this whole narrative. Be able to do what you want 663 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: to do without fear of you know, designating or without repercussions. Yeah, 664 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,240 Speaker 1: without any type of your explanation, are really just overreacting. 665 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: So I think it's they should understand, give yours, have 666 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: the ability to do what you want to do and 667 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: still respect what your other teammate is doing to me. 668 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: That's the main thing about it. And I wish Jerry 669 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: could have could have spoken more this offseason about that. 670 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: I really wish he would have just come out and 671 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: said something that could have galvanized, you know, all of 672 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: sports really, because as a Cowboys speak, then so does 673 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: the rest of the NFL and even the sports world. Well, 674 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,399 Speaker 1: they're definitely going to be in the spotlight on Sunday night. 675 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 1: All eyes will be on the Cowboys and the Rams, 676 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 1: you know, Mickey Everson was in the spotlight with the 677 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: sixty Anniverse sixty year Anniversary Cowboys team. We haven't had 678 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: much time because we had to get cut off on 679 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: things going on here throughout this today's show. But as 680 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: we wrap things up, where was Everson on that? Everson 681 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: finished in the top sixty. He finished twenty fifth, but 682 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: since he's on this show, on my list, he finished 683 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: twentieth on the good Hey, so let's just say I'm 684 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: top thirty. That sounds a lot. Yeah, absolutely, top twenty five. 685 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying Everson's not number twenty five. Everson, as it's 686 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: shown in the picture behind him, he is number twenty four. 687 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 1: So if he's gonna be anywhere close to twenty four, 688 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: let's make him number twenty four on the list. Let's 689 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:13,760 Speaker 1: just say that picture depicts number one. That's my first 690 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: NFL regular season interception. So that out of five seven, sir, 691 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: five seven. That's not including the playoffs. We don't include. 692 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: I was stock stats like basketball and baseball, no regular 693 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 1: season fifty seven picks. So here here were the Here 694 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: were the guys. Immediately in front of Everson, Harvey Martin 695 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: was twenty Tony Romo twenty one, Dion Sanders twenty two, 696 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: Cornell Green twenty three, and Don Meredith was twenty four. 697 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,240 Speaker 1: But after Everson was Zach Martin, Ed Jones, Tyrant Smith, 698 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 1: Don Perkins, and John Nilan. I gotta say that number 699 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 1: twenty four, Harvey Martin, that speaks volumes. I mean, as 700 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 1: you look at this list, I'm hoping that they kind of, 701 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, as a precursor to the next Ring of 702 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 1: Honor inductees. And man, I just wish Harvey would get 703 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: on that list. I really do. He deserves that, his 704 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,720 Speaker 1: family deserves it, all of them being from Dallas, Texas 705 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: over the Oak Clevland. Yeah, and I hope when people 706 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: see the list and they start looking around that they 707 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: do recognize what Cornell Green meant to the Cowboys and 708 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: what his career was about. Yes, sir, all pro at 709 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: cornerback and safety. That is not done wasn't done much. 710 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: Then there's certainly not played college football basketball player. I 711 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,720 Speaker 1: was just adding up the number of career interceptions among 712 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 1: the current Cowboys secondary to see and I haven't. I 713 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: haven't looked up raining cars early on the squad. Just 714 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: stop this. I got him at twenty six, but that 715 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: was just a quick view of my notes over here 716 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 1: said we were ending on a good note, and you 717 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 1: had to bring that up side here. But we got 718 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: a lot to get to this week. We're gonna dive 719 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: into those Los Angeles Rams. You know the name of 720 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 1: that stadium mission Sofi Stadium, and I just figured out 721 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:27,959 Speaker 1: it was a financial institution, Sofi Stadium, the first game ever, 722 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: as Jerry said on the radio, hopefully they'll get the 723 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 1: first win ever at Sofi Stadium. Of course, Jerry played 724 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: a major role in all that taking place there in 725 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: southern California, not only with the Rams, but also the 726 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: Chargers playing in that stadium. Only fitting that the Cowboys 727 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: will be playing there, and we will be here every 728 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: day one thirty until two fifteen, exactly until further notice. 729 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: You never know what happens with the schedules, right, but 730 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 1: I think we're pretty we're pretty solidified here at one thirty. 731 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 1: Sounds like Vicky has taken on the we're all day 732 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: to day. No, it's you know what, My my refrain 733 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 1: all the time when I say stuff this year is basically, 734 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 1: we'll see yes, we will see ye, so good.
