This is Mick 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:18.159 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:23.439 official Dallas Cowboys have now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:30.920 and Nicky Spagnola. It is a Thursday inside the SWBC 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.600 podcast studio here at the Star in Frisco, and we 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.520 are into day number two of Coltsweek. Is Mickey Spagnola 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.920 looks at his watch and yes, you're enough, it says, Hi, noon, 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.560 It's time for the start of another edition of mix 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.680 shots and a practice pretty soon. That's right, that's what 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.640 you're looking at your watch for. You have an alarm 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:56.360 set on your watch for when starts. It's later. They 0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:01.160 change it so many times. Uh huh. Trysner schedule, yeah, 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.960 winter schedule, uh huh. And so what times practice start today? 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.560 I believe twelve fifteen, fifteen, same as yesterday. Yeah, they 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.600 go a little longer today. They're going an hour in 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.600 five minutes. Well, so we might see a little bit 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.039 of it. There's like an hour yesterday, I think, Yeah, 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.560 it's our hour and a half I think today. Because 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.839 the locker room opens at one forty five, I think today. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.520 So since we can't go out when everybody else gets 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.080 invited out, Yeah, is it okay if we go out, 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.560 then when we can go out, you just whenever you 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.840 would like to go out. Yeah, just stn't tell anyone 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.520 that you're watching practice my old draw down. I'm in 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.120 a whole different category. I'm not part of you guys. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.720 I'm not part of your media guys. So I can 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.160 just kind of so you and Charles Haley yet you want, 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.280 so you could just go walk out there in the 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.560 middle of the field, that would be Charles. Yeah, right, 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.600 I am not quite there. I could sneak out and 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.400 then when I noticed, they would polite me escort me 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.120 off the field. But no, I can cut sneak out there, 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.880 charl Yeah, they won't catch me too. About I'm walking. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.120 They were just finishing yesterday and I'm walking through the 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:12.480 training table where everybody eats, and uh, I'm almost past it, 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:19.560 and I hear somebody yell hey shrimp, and I I 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.519 didn't even have to look. I didn't even turn around. 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.880 I said, Charles, what do you want? And I was 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:29.120 about twenty yards away from them. I thing, you know, 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.440 see how much of a closer a relationship you have 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.679 with those players from the nineties the end of the 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.760 day man, because you had great access to them. Because 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:43.200 he's not covering them anymore. He's not writing bad stuff 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.079 about not being drafted and why waste time on the 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.760 guard in the first round and talking about his rants 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.160 and things of that nature. I'm sure he ranted on 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.680 a few of the players back in the ninth I 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.160 got a rent today, Oh you do what would you 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.160 like to rant? Would you like to rant now? Or 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.119 it just dawned on me. There we go down, Samurai. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:19.280 Here we go, right, we pause for a second, continue, 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.840 And I passed this car and some guy is having 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.800 a fit. Who's driving. He's got both hands up in 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.760 the air waving and his head's going back and forth 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.440 and around, and he's screaming. Right, I'm assuming he's talking 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:41.600 on his phone, right, but both hands he's got the kneeworking, 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.080 why don't why don't people have to use both hands 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.080 to talk on the phone. Would see his hands free, 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.120 and if you would have seen, if you would have 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.400 seen his head going, you would have thought it was 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.720 some kind of movie. Some of that. These guys having 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.520 a fit or something, you know, keeping the speed and 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.640 when saying in his lane? Oh yeah, see yeah, it's 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.320 hands free. So he was using his hands free, using 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.680 his knees. Yeah, I don't know. It was amazing. There 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.160 was a distraction to you, Yes, it was Which lane 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.280 was he in? Well, there's four right was he in? 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.760 So he would if you start from the right. He 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.960 was in lane two, I was in lane through. I 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.000 don't understand why he was such a nuisance to you 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.760 if he's going the speed limit and he's not. Because 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.839 I saw this action in the car. See you, you 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.359 would be a danger to the community. Now because because 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.480 I'm looking at him, you're looking at him, and now 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.280 you're being distracted, and you probably veered towards him a 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.479 little bit. Absolutely not, now, absolutely not. Okay, maybe he 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.560 had a self drive. He was in a self driving Yeah, 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:49.400 maybe that was it? Right? All right? Is here, let's continue, 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.320 all right, and I'm gonna have a rant later in 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.920 the show. We're going to do this now. Now, we'll 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.200 wait until later in the show because we need to 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.880 hear what Mickey has to say about the injury report. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:07.600 Injury Yesterday from yesterday, UM Anthony Barr was listed as 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.400 limited uh, and Mike McCarthy said in his press conference 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.960 that he looked good. Uh. They just want to see 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.800 how he returns today. But they felt like he did 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.640 a really good job. So there's a chance that he's 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.839 ready to go. Uh. Jay Ryn Curse and DeMarcus Lawrence 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.280 both limited. Curse said in the locker room that yeah, 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.520 I'm good to go. He returned, but he's probably got 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.880 a harness on his shoulder. So a dislocated shoulder as 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.560 opposed to a separated shoulder, you would rather have a 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.839 dislocated shoulder that are separated shoulder, Yeah, I think because 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:47.040 you can you can relocate. You can relocate the shoulder, 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.160 but a separated shoulder takes some time, right ye Black 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:56.960 of marriage, Yeah right, you could be just back in, 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:03.480 but if you're separated, then that's going to take some out. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.960 And then two guys, you know, they had five days 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.760 between the game and then practice. They had five days 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.840 basically five days off and you would have thought all 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.000 the illnesses would have gone away, but they haven't. Trayvon 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:22.320 Diggs and Michael Gallop are the two next ones. Not 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:27.000 practice yesterday and they are not practicing again the day. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.159 They're probably telling them. No, they did tell them stay home, 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.320 don't don't bring it. They're participating virtually, virtually, Yes, in 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.600 the meeting. How do you feel you've been feeling anything? No, no, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.400 me either. I'm perfect now. Finally, it took me two 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.279 weeks to get over it, and yesterday was the first 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.279 day I felt one hundred percent. That's cool. I mean literally, 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.120 it can. It can knock you out for a while, 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.159 and I mean you can feel it. You just feel it. 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.960 You're you're not energized, and I mean even just studying. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:00.320 I mean a little sitting in her eyes gets hired. Yeah, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:04.240 you're just you're just run down. Well, I'll tell my wife. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.159 She's got another week to go. So she's had it 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.160 for a week. Yeah, okay, Yeah, we're cool. On my end, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.880 just hadn't had anything, thank goodness. I mean, I can 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.280 understand how they player. I mean, now you expecting right, yeah, 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.120 you're expecting them to play at at this level. You know, 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.600 I can understand. Missus. Anyway, go up in the door, 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.840 do please come on, man, come on, no, bring your 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.880 butt on in here. He wants he got the best field. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.040 I'm sorry. We didn't mean your pirty break. Anybody had 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:50.000 break and I saw your script. It's gonna take you 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.200 ten seconds. I understand. I know that's Bradley. How you 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.480 doing talk about how you doing it? Man? I'm all right. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.880 The Voice of the Cowboys, Bradsham feeling great? Sure you 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:08.800 feeling great? Yeah, kind of close to me. You don't 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.680 have a your headphones on, But we just heard a 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:17.360 whole hole hole from the Voice of the Cowboys. What 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:23.000 game was that from producer Supreme? Yeah? Hold on? Probably 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:32.079 back in the nineties. Yeah, probably that sounded kind of sarcastic. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.440 I have no idea that could be ed, could be 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.840 anything like something. We probably scored like ten touchdounds that 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.360 day and he was just giving president out to everybody. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.400 Could be not one thing about brad when he does 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.280 the game. You don't you don't snow, you don't sugar anything. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.439 I've never seen so much of it. Yeah, you got 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.400 babe sitting over there. You don't know, he's just trying 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.760 to play off of you, and you know, you're sitting 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.400 there and you're like, you know, and the guy just 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:03.199 broke through fifty touchdown then here we go again, Like Okay, 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.360 you know I learned a long time ago. Bill knows this. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:13.079 When you do a game for a network, radio, television, statewide, national, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:17.000 doesn't matter, then your listeners are not tuning in to 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.480 hear that game, or viewers they're not tuning in to 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.920 hear of that game. When you do a team's games, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.560 it really doesn't matter who's doing the game. They turned 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.719 it on to hear the Cowboys, and so why am 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:39.480 I gonna celebrate now? Sometimes the other team does something 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:43.480 really spectacular and just as an athletic achievement, it deserves 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.600 to be recognized. But I'm certainly not going to celebrate 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.520 the other team. My audience is tuning in to hear 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.880 how the Cowboys are doing, and so I can be 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.880 I can be emotionally honest in that moment, and I 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:02.240 have never disguised how I feel. You know, I worked 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.520 for three years with Eric Nadel doing Rangers radio, and 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.360 I learned from him. I still learn from him every day. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.120 But one of the things that he does best that 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.800 objectively I would say I wish I could do, but 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.960 I guess it wouldn't be me. Is you? Eric is 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.600 right down? I know you know when he's happy, but 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.920 you don't ever know when Eric is disgusted. And trust me, 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.480 because I sat in a booth with him for one 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.839 hundred and sixty two games for three years in a row, 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.800 and watching Rangers and he and he there are times 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:42.840 when he's disgusted. Okay, when I'm disgusted everybody, I don't. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.240 I don't hide it very well. I don't. Must be 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.840 a trait coming from Chicago. Yeah maybe maybe, maybe maybe. 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.560 So you know, we grew up watching a lot of 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.360 bad football, so yeah, um yeah, I don't. I don't. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.839 I don't hide it very well. So are you a 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:04.559 White Sox fan? Like you know? I was raised This 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:10.640 is riveting for the Cowboys podcast audiences. I was raised 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:17.840 by Chicagoans who taught my brother and me to love 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.800 Chicago teams. My very favorite teams were the nineteen fifty 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:27.400 nine White Sox, and they had a real unique personality. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.400 And then ownership changed and they kind of lost their personality. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.680 And because of that, I became more of a more 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.040 of a Cub fan. But I'm not one of the 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.920 Cub fans who hates the White Sox. I wrote for 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.600 the White Sox when they're playing I am. I'm a 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.120 fan of Chicago. I think Cubby was was hoping that 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:48.840 you were a Cubs fan, right, No, that's not where 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.040 the Cubby comes from from. No, No, I'm a I'm 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.079 a Cub fan. I'm an abashed Cub fan. But but 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.520 but I don't dislike the White Sox. Most Cub fans 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.280 hate the White Sox. Almost all white Sox fans hate 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:06.480 the cut. We had a divided neighborhood producer spring. I 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.320 can't tell you how many days and hours we argued 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.920 about who was best, who had the best ballpark, who 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.319 had the best manager on because it's it's it's a 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:22.280 little bit like Houston and Dallas. Yeah, but well, the 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.880 different thing is that the like the white Sox fans 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.760 are are just kind of uh overcome with jealousy of 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.640 all of the attention the Cubs get even when they're horrible, 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.200 and they were horrible my whole childhood, but they were 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:40.199 still getting all the attention. Okay, and the Cubs they 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:45.360 don't really care. It's Dallas and Houston. Houston fans are 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:51.960 so worked up about anything. Dallas Mavericks, you know, cowboys, 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:57.720 and here we just don't really care, am I Right, No, 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.280 I don't care what goes on down there. Sure you 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.760 know you won an NBA championship. Isn't that right, That's 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.400 that's really nice that you did that. In the Astros 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.240 are good too, risk We're happy for you. How the 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.600 Texans doing, And then they go sit in a corner 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.560 and chuck the thumb and we don't care. And what 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.520 kills them the most because we don't care is that 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.400 we don't care. We don't care. Last time they went 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.080 to the playoffs, Texans, the Texans and the Cowboys were 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:30.920 done and their their website tweeted out the picture of 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:36.560 an empty AT and T Stadium going too bad. Yeah, 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.240 and I'm going this team has been going to the 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.199 playoffs for all these years, right, and you know, one 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:53.200 time and they just don't They haven't found a way 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:57.960 to live with our complete disregard for and we don't 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:03.040 know that they're there. It's almost like they're figuratively under foot, right, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.960 kind of always down there. Oh what did I step in? 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.880 Let me just knock? Yeah, Oh it's Houston. Yeah. I mean, 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.320 I'm not saying I feel that way, but that's how 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:18.080 kind of Dallas and in Houston they hate that, and 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.760 White Sox and Cubs. I submit that there's a similar 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:27.560 relationship between Look, didn't you I hate to bring this 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.720 up to were you not on one or two of 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.280 those five and eleven teams with Dave Campo? Where are 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.400 you gone? But I was on the one in fifteen, 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.880 you know, I know that, I know that. And then 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.480 I was on Tom's three and a three and thirty stretch, which, 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.000 by the way, is the worst team I've ever seen 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.240 for the Cowbom. No, No, we were. No. Eighty nine 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.880 was bad. Eighty eight we actually kind of father a 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.280 little bit, but a lot of it was with each other. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.520 Eighty nine eighty nine, everything was shuffling through. Y'all were 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:05.560 introduce see each other. Yes, yes, I mean there was 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.600 no way. The way the whole eighty nine season was conducted, 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.800 it was not with a plan for it to be 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.640 that chaotic in the moment, but it was part of 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:17.160 a plan, and it was a development stage. Yeah, I mean, 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.080 it was the revolving door. Well, I mean they were 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:24.760 they returning to Tom had no idea when the eighty 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.760 eight season began that that team was going to perform 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.200 like that. Yeah. Yeah, Now it was a new three 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.720 year plan, right, And that's a whole other movie. Any 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.160 time to get into one more thing before you have 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:42.800 to go do whatever you're going to do. What is 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.840 your biggest concern this week for this team against this 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:52.000 team the Cults. Um, their defense is pretty good. Uh 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:57.400 and and so I think I don't think the team 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.320 that's out there practicing right now is going to not 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.360 take them seriously. But they've got a few injuries that 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.520 it's that time of year now, guys are going to 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.560 play with injuries that would have the rest of us 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.240 in the hospital. And uh and so you know, you've 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:18.640 got to keep an eye on that. Um. You know, 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:24.000 the running game, that's going to be a concern every week, 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.080 every week, and they may do what they did to 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.600 the Giants. And the key to it, I think is 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.200 to have the offense really get going so that their 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.320 defense has to pass. They can't they can't just run 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.600 their way back in. But I think from the football 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:47.360 team's standpoint, I would say, um, keeping having the right 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:52.040 bodies healthy, keeping everybody healthy, and then um, you know, 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.560 their defenses pretty good. It's going to be a challenging 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.200 we have, we have death. I think that's what we do. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.880 I'm I am astonished by the numbers of what the 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.520 offense has done in the last four or five weeks. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.000 I really didn't realize that it was going that good. 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:12.439 That is something that can really stand up, especially if 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:17.359 the defense keeps. We talked about yesterday how no one's 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.119 talking about Cooper anymore. Yeah, not at all. I mean, 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.960 I mean the teammate that he's always been ready to 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.280 and he did, he did what they asked him to do. 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.640 He was great. You know that. Here's the thing, these 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.840 games are all. Babe likes to say there's ways to 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.560 win all these games, which means there's ways to lose 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.439 them all. But if on paper, these are three winnable games, 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.040 and if they do that, they are then the NFL 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:47.159 equivalent of Bowl eligible, because then they're they're at eleven games, 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:49.800 and I don't think with eleven, I don't think with 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.719 ten the way the NFC is this year. But when 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.080 you get to eleven, I don't think mathematically anybody can 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.480 come catch you. So you have to get in and 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:02.359 those last three are going to be interesting. So they 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.640 really got to keep their foot down. I think they will. 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.000 But the Indie defense gets my attention, and you know 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.680 they're going to be like every team that gets off 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.240 the bus to play the Cowboys. They're gonna get off 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.800 something running the football too, and they're going to try 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.800 to prove something there Sunday night. We'll we'll get better 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.960 in front of the whole Country's right, everybody's going to 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.400 see what we can do. And they're talking about the Colt. 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:33.640 Nice to see sound all right? Mix shots. I want 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.440 you to finish your read with ho ho ho.

What you see on 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:03.120 the practice field, I saw Tyrn Smith come back out 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:08.200 do his uh resistant card work all pads this day. 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.920 It looks like he's got all pads and they are 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:14.880 in pads today. But we announced yesterday that the plan 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.840 is for him to be back for Philadelphia. That's our 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.520 plan for him. It's not their plan for him. It's 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:22.879 our plan for him. And the other one. When we 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:28.080 didn't get into James Washington practice yesterday and he did, 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:33.560 Mike McCarthy said that he did more than they anticipated, 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.479 so they were going to cut back a little bit 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.640 today just to make sure they don't overdo it right 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:43.320 from the start, but that he showed that he is 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:47.560 a strong wide receiver and we knew that the way 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:51.560 he's built right, and so yeah, he and he was 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:56.560 very happy with himself after the practice. Felt like they 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.040 got him listed at five eleven. But I think he's 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.200 taller than so I don't think so. He looks like 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:04.679 I think it's five eleven is probably true, Probably right. 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:10.359 I can look up his combine numbers as far as 0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:12.680 his height goes. He give me a little bit of time. 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:16.080 What about how about Terrell Besham? Besham, he did not 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:20.600 get picked up on Quavers yesterday five eleven, two sixteen. 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:25.520 They got him listed at dang two sixteen. Wow, Oh 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:32.600 my goodness, that's thick. Yeah, well he's got shoulders. Yeah, 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.360 but god, he got more for a guy that's speedy. 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:41.240 Two fifteen Yeah. Wow, So man, I can't wait to see. 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.439 They were really happy for what they saw on him. 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:46.239 You know what, I just saw something I don't think 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:50.760 I've seen before. Layton vander Esh was kind of playing 0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.960 catch with George Ed was the linebackers coach. And then 0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:58.760 he was standing at the twenty yard line and he 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.240 took the ball and he spin it, you know how 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:04.440 a guy's and it spun and while it was spinning, 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:08.560 he kicked it and he almost made a thirty yard 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:12.560 field goal. It almost made that far. I don't think 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:16.399 I've ever seen that before. You spin the ball, no 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:19.000 one's holding it, and you go and just kick it. 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:20.920 Do you think he was the kicker on his eight 0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:27.200 man football to anything whenever they needed in high school? 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.760 He did it. I forgot we had another sixth man 0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:33.320 on the team, well not another but Dan Campbell. We 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.080 ran it about Dan Campbell and yeah, how huge he 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:38.440 looked out there with his squad in high school. I 0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:43.080 would imagine vanders is just not as overwhelming, but played 0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:48.560 a big man, played played everything his dad was telling 0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.760 me a story about he said he was coaching the 0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:56.359 basketball team or something, and um he talked about how 0:24:56.520 --> 0:25:00.280 when they just needed something, they gave it to Layton right. 0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:02.600 If we needed free throws, he got to send him 0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:07.440 to the line. Well, I heard that his select team 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:12.720 from Idaho is that ways from Yes, Yes, and they 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:15.000 would go to California and they said they'd run the 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:18.359 basketball or basketball baseball, and I'm sure he picked the 0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:22.120 stopped two. They would run the table in basketball. Yeah, 0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:24.879 and they say the average close to thirty points a game. Yep. 0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:28.960
