Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola, and the road the Super Bowl fifty
Speaker 1: eight in Las Vegas begins now here on mix shots
Speaker 1: inside the SWBC podcast studio Bill Jones along with Mickey
Speaker 1: Spagnola and Mickey I feel like we should have had
Speaker 1: stampede to start this show because because an Eagles non victory,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is at Cowboys victory in the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl on Sunday. You know what. There you go, and
Speaker 1: I'm hoping Dallas, we're Cowboys better than them lousy Eagles
Speaker 1: things that's stuck in my stuck in your crowd really bad. Well,
Speaker 1: we got much to get to over the course of
Speaker 1: the next forty five minutes to an hour, and we
Speaker 1: may go an hour in forty five minutes. Sometimes there's
Speaker 1: karma in the world. Got what you deserve. There you go,
Speaker 1: and we are obviously are here inside the st BBC
Speaker 1: podcast studio and on location in a remote spot somewhere
Speaker 1: in the world. Once again, there's ever some walls. If
Speaker 1: you must must know, William, I am in since city,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Oh care some business. So just in case
Speaker 1: you thought I was just at the gambut, I don't gamble.
Speaker 1: I however, do buy a lot of expensive dog gone
Speaker 1: food out here. Oh my god, this place a rip off.
Speaker 1: Man be a break. So ever, since I was thinking
Speaker 1: he was in that that that that cell block that
Speaker 1: we saw last time, remember the brick wall, and I
Speaker 1: was thinking he got out. Maybe he's got something to
Speaker 1: do with these balloons flying over the country, you know. Ever,
Speaker 1: since you must admit that was an ugly situation that
Speaker 1: you speak of spags, thank you very much. I was
Speaker 1: ill prepared at that moment. I am ready this time,
Speaker 1: you see. I am in wonderful quarters here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: All right, everything's fine. And also Bill, I must disagree
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, sorry, Um, I know, I know we
Speaker 1: hate these guys. I know. My daughter is like, my
Speaker 1: daughter is like, oh, there's no way I'm pulling in them,
Speaker 1: because they would not pulling for us. And I could
Speaker 1: just see her work in her neck even though this
Speaker 1: was texting me. So now she uh was very happy
Speaker 1: that they lost. I was actually pulling, you know, you
Speaker 1: gotta pull up for the NFC east Man. You m, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you just pulled something. Because you just pulled something because
Speaker 1: we lost your voice. I don't know what just happened there. Ever, Everson,
Speaker 1: we we've lost audio with you there. Uh, there's that
Speaker 1: last comment. You may. I think that I just wonder
Speaker 1: if it could Everson be in Vegas a year from now? Oh? Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: he's a year early to be in Vegas. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's right, all right, So we'll get things. So I
Speaker 1: worked out with Everson there as far as his audio goes.
Speaker 1: All right. So your first impressions of what happened on Sunday,
Speaker 1: do you want to start with the Philly fans booing
Speaker 1: dac Yes, absolutely, just kind of ruined the beginning of
Speaker 1: the darn thing. Yeah. The whole lead up to the
Speaker 1: game was great, right, the stuff with um I get
Speaker 1: my days mixed up to maur Hamlin and h you know,
Speaker 1: the Thursday night then to get to him and regarding
Speaker 1: that as well, and they did it again and during
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, and all the music before
Speaker 1: the game and the lead up and then they you know,
Speaker 1: gonna introduced the guys that were selected the Pro Football
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and brought out all the guys that
Speaker 1: were nominated for the Walter Peyton Man of the Year Award,
Speaker 1: and then introduced Dak with the the trophy right there,
Speaker 1: and then they booed him. They booed him. Now, if
Speaker 1: I'm Dak, I'm thinking, Okay, Santa Claus and me, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty good coming right, Dak knew exactly right. Yeah he was.
Speaker 1: He was laughing, he was smiling at he should have
Speaker 1: done more, he should have started to wait whatever and
Speaker 1: and and should have put up a four. Oh, we
Speaker 1: scored the most points against your team all season, and
Speaker 1: that's still the case, and it is Chiefs only got
Speaker 1: thirty eight. Yeah, I got thirty eight, right, they couldn't
Speaker 1: score forty. But you know, that's kind of what we
Speaker 1: thought was gonna happen. We both picked. I believe Kansas
Speaker 1: City to win, and I thought my homes would be
Speaker 1: the difference. And while Jalen Hurts was awfully, awfully good, Uh,
Speaker 1: my homes saved the day. All right. Ever, since, what
Speaker 1: were your impressions of what happened on Sunday? I don't
Speaker 1: think he can still hear us. No, Nope, apparently not. Um.
Speaker 1: I laughed when the Philly fans. At first, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're wait, they're booting, and then oh, no, those are
Speaker 1: the Phillies. That's what. I took me a while to
Speaker 1: figure out who was booing right, almost had to. I
Speaker 1: was like, what's Kansas City got against the Cowboys? You know,
Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt? I mean the Hunts live here, right, uh
Speaker 1: Clark Clark Hunt, Yeah, and yeah, yeah, so yeah, and
Speaker 1: I said, oh, it's Philadelphia of course. But anyway, No,
Speaker 1: you know, a great game, um back and forth, and
Speaker 1: I think everybody thought it, you know, halftime that you know,
Speaker 1: down ten that Kansas City was you know, dead in
Speaker 1: the water, and you know, I was thinking, well, they've
Speaker 1: got the first possession. All you got to do is
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, right, and it's a three point game,
Speaker 1: so you know, there's still a lot of football left
Speaker 1: to be played. And everybody's like all the changes they
Speaker 1: made the second half. Well, the change they made in
Speaker 1: the second half was they got the football. They only
Speaker 1: had the ball what eight minutes the first half eight
Speaker 1: they didn't have really had any possessions, so they scored
Speaker 1: and then they finally got um, they finally got and
Speaker 1: they and then even after they scored, they didn't get
Speaker 1: a stop. Right, it ended up still ten points twenty
Speaker 1: seven seventeen. So until the defense got some stops, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were going to have problems because Philadelphia score in
Speaker 1: every possession they had. They basically played a near perfect
Speaker 1: second half offensively. Yeah, yeah, she astutely when and when
Speaker 1: you thought that Mahomes was toast right the way he
Speaker 1: was acting on the bench after the guy grabbed his
Speaker 1: ankle on the way down, it was like, oh not, Henny,
Speaker 1: They're not gonna have to play him, right, And this
Speaker 1: team's gonna not only knock out the third string quarterback
Speaker 1: in the NFC title game, now they're gonna knock out
Speaker 1: the league MVP and have to play a backup that
Speaker 1: hasn't played all year and probably didn't want to play
Speaker 1: because immediately after the game he retired Chad. Henny. Yes, yep,
Speaker 1: we'll get Everson back here in a moment. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna save the quote unquote most controversial play the call
Speaker 1: because I want to get Everson's opinion on it, since
Speaker 1: he's a defensive back, since he's a defensive back. I
Speaker 1: want to I want to hear what he has to
Speaker 1: say about that. But you know, you look back and
Speaker 1: h you know, obviously the Eagles had a great season,
Speaker 1: but I was looking back at had a conversation with
Speaker 1: someone last week about who have they beaten this season? Right,
Speaker 1: And if you go back through their schedule, there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of Like if if you were the college
Speaker 1: football Playoff Committee and you were seating them number one,
Speaker 1: well just now they would have been one or two.
Speaker 1: But h but if you're looking like looking at okay,
Speaker 1: well what's their signature win? There weren't a lot of
Speaker 1: signature wins, meaning wins over really good teams this season
Speaker 1: when over the Cowboys came with Cooper Rushes a backup quarterback. Course,
Speaker 1: they didn't have Hurts when the Cowboys had the return
Speaker 1: matchup and the Cowboys won that one right before Christmas.
Speaker 1: But you look at their seat the Eagles season and
Speaker 1: where they were at one point. They were thirteen and
Speaker 1: one coming into the Dallas game on Christmas Eve and
Speaker 1: since then now understand the Hurts was hurt and they
Speaker 1: lost a couple of games there, but they wound up
Speaker 1: going three and three their last six games. In contrast,
Speaker 1: look at the Chiefs. The Chiefs had three losses this season,
Speaker 1: and those losses were by a grand total of just
Speaker 1: over ten points. They were all three or four point losses,
Speaker 1: all three of them going back to Week three of
Speaker 1: the season. Some of them were earlier. Yeah, Week three
Speaker 1: of the season, they lost to Indianapolis twenty to seventeen.
Speaker 1: Week six, they lost to Buffalo by four twenty four
Speaker 1: to twenty and so they were four and two at
Speaker 1: that point of the season. And then their only loss
Speaker 1: the rest of the season came December fourth at Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: that twenty seven twenty four loss. So this is a
Speaker 1: team that not only one and at that point of
Speaker 1: the year they were nine and three. So they wind
Speaker 1: up seventeen and three. They won their last eight games,
Speaker 1: and they won twelve of their last thirteen games. That's
Speaker 1: how well the Chiefs have played this season. So why
Speaker 1: do you think everybody was thinking that the Eagles were
Speaker 1: going to win and they were their favorites. Willem's injury
Speaker 1: that perhaps, but it became a narrative all season because
Speaker 1: the Eagles had gotten off to such a great start
Speaker 1: this season that they are the team to beat, right
Speaker 1: and then they kept you know, they'd lost Hurts for
Speaker 1: a couple of games, and so but they still they
Speaker 1: had such a lead in the division, they were able
Speaker 1: to win the division and have the number one seed,
Speaker 1: and so they were still the perception was still, well,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are the team to beat, without really digging
Speaker 1: into the details of their season and so forth. But
Speaker 1: and you know in Kansas City, asked Travis, Kelsey pointed
Speaker 1: out the time and time again, you know, no one
Speaker 1: other than someone in this room had picked Kansas City
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. He never met me and
Speaker 1: Bill Jones at the beginning of the season, and you
Speaker 1: pick Changes City to beginning season, I believe. So okay,
Speaker 1: it was. And the reason no one picked him was
Speaker 1: because they lost Tyreek Hill right and Brett Veats. Their
Speaker 1: GM did a great job of in the off season
Speaker 1: and even during the season acquiring Kadarius Tony the Giants
Speaker 1: and was one of those picks. You know how many
Speaker 1: snaps Kadarius Tony played in the game, not many? Six
Speaker 1: on offense, yeah yeah, and then his special teams and
Speaker 1: had the big sixty five yard but return his his
Speaker 1: production per snap, Yeah, he was close to be in
Speaker 1: the MVP, right, that was a heck of him. He
Speaker 1: Darius Tony is basically their Gavante Turbos. Yeah, and made
Speaker 1: a difference. And I would have thought that there had
Speaker 1: been a punt return longer than that in Super Bowl history. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was surprised to hear that. And what was it
Speaker 1: sixty sixty five yards? Yeah? So, but yeah, they had
Speaker 1: guys step up. I mean the first half, I don't
Speaker 1: think we knew who their receivers were if you think
Speaker 1: about it. Um, I didn't look at the stats on
Speaker 1: the first half, but um so other than Kelsey with
Speaker 1: three catches, McKinnon running back had two um and then
Speaker 1: one two catches. It's Gray. Gray was a tight end night.
Speaker 1: So the wide receivers had two catches at the end
Speaker 1: of the first half, but they didn't have the football
Speaker 1: right how many? And they're one of their two touchdowns
Speaker 1: was on a fumble return by the Missouri Tiger and
Speaker 1: first of Nick Bolton, they had a football player, by
Speaker 1: the way, hitting it up with nine tackles. If if
Speaker 1: a defensive guy needed to be the MVP, he was
Speaker 1: pretty darn close, right, nine tackles he had right down
Speaker 1: the road here in firstco They had twenty plays in
Speaker 1: the first half, that's it. Twenty seven of them were runs.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there was a reason. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much they changed the second half. They everybody said, well
Speaker 1: they came out and ran the ball. Well, okay, they
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance to run the ball the first half. Right,
Speaker 1: we knew going in the Pacheco could give them problems,
Speaker 1: and he did. That was your guy, right for your
Speaker 1: pick to click, and they got him going and then
Speaker 1: things started, you know. But still even though they scored,
Speaker 1: Philadelphia came back and scored, and it was twenty seven seventeen.
Speaker 1: All right. We got Everson on the phone now, and Everson,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you how much you've been able
Speaker 1: to listen to what we've been talking about, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to save the whole defensive holding call to get
Speaker 1: your opinion before we discussed it. Of course, it was
Speaker 1: the key play of the game. Down the stretch, James
Speaker 1: Bradberry called for the defensive hold on Juju Smith Schuster
Speaker 1: as a cornerback. What was your take on that call?
Speaker 1: You know, it was definite the Cowboys fight for the
Speaker 1: Niners game. When you're talking about Donovan Wilson, you know,
Speaker 1: once you get in that area. Uh, sometimes the referee
Speaker 1: this is just not gonna walk. Oh there we go
Speaker 1: say that one more time ever since because we lost
Speaker 1: you for just a second. The referee, you don't understand
Speaker 1: that they're not supposed to be a part of the
Speaker 1: game when you're talking about being in that crucial situation.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I did not think it was a passionfence call.
Speaker 1: I barely thought Donaldan Wilson's was a passion offense call.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to somehow, um uh control
Speaker 1: your space as a defensive player, even if you're covering
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. You understand what I'm saying. They tend
Speaker 1: to act as if we're playing shadow a shadow game.
Speaker 1: You still have a tense your space and you still
Speaker 1: have a chance to have some contact so that you
Speaker 1: can maintain the leverage that you have on that receiver.
Speaker 1: You have to give them that chance. And I thought
Speaker 1: that was a crappy call. Well, I thought the first
Speaker 1: grab is what he got called for, not the set,
Speaker 1: not the left hand. It was the right hand when
Speaker 1: he tried to keep him from reversing field on him. So,
Speaker 1: I mean brad Berry said afterwards it was a hold
Speaker 1: he was trying to hold. He didn't hold very well.
Speaker 1: I think that might have been the problem. But again,
Speaker 1: well I would have to say that in the words
Speaker 1: of a never mind. Yeah right, But I agree with
Speaker 1: you Everson on and I thought exactly of the George
Speaker 1: Kittle a play against Donovan Wilson in the Cowboys game,
Speaker 1: and the problem that I had with that one was
Speaker 1: I think Kittle purposely was trying to draw the foul
Speaker 1: on a third and eight play, And of course that
Speaker 1: was a player where DeMarcus Lawrence got the sack huge
Speaker 1: play in that game and he so it was an
Speaker 1: Academy Award winning acting performance from Kittle that he got held.
Speaker 1: And so I hated in that situation to see an
Speaker 1: offensive player be rewarded for something he was intentionally trying
Speaker 1: to do. There. I don't know what Donovan Wilson's supposed
Speaker 1: to do in that situation when he goes right into
Speaker 1: the game. When you have a game that was being
Speaker 1: played as well as both of those games have been played,
Speaker 1: you have to know as the referee beforehand, you know,
Speaker 1: we got to kind of let things play out here
Speaker 1: because the games are being played so well at an
Speaker 1: excellent pace and it was exciting. So now for you
Speaker 1: to come in after really not hard of being in existence,
Speaker 1: you didn't really see many I don't recall a lot
Speaker 1: of apivoties in the game, and now you want to
Speaker 1: make a difference back to me, it is just bad optics.
Speaker 1: And and I think that an official, and I know
Speaker 1: this probably goes against the officials handbook or whatever, but
Speaker 1: I think they have to have an awareness of the
Speaker 1: situation in the game and the fact that's yeah, that
Speaker 1: is that is a third down play that if in
Speaker 1: is and in this case in this game, that is
Speaker 1: a third down play that if they get that first down,
Speaker 1: if you make that call, you have just effectively ended
Speaker 1: this football game. And that that's exactly what that play did.
Speaker 1: It ended the game because Kansas City still would have
Speaker 1: kicked a field goal. You're assuming, right, it was going
Speaker 1: to be even if they had not gained any more
Speaker 1: yard thirty thirty yards, you were giving them an opportunity.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, with the first down, then then they're
Speaker 1: bringing the clock all the way, then they would have
Speaker 1: had the opportunity. Uh what there would have been about
Speaker 1: two of less than a minute. You don't make that
Speaker 1: call and um, and they're kicking a field goal and
Speaker 1: uh presumably so the next place started at one forty eight,
Speaker 1: so there would have been one forty five left for
Speaker 1: Hurts to make. And the other part of it is
Speaker 1: Mahomes throw to Juju if there was not a hold
Speaker 1: on no contact whatsoever the throw to Juju, there was
Speaker 1: no way they were completing that pass him so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the hole took and it was a hold, so
Speaker 1: it took place before he threw the ball. I think
Speaker 1: he just brought loaded. He he might have seen the
Speaker 1: flag to go down. But here's the right yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: but but here's like Brady like that. Here's what everybody.
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. Okay, So tell me this. Do
Speaker 1: you think Goddard's foot was down as he re established
Speaker 1: the catch on that ball on third and fourteen when
Speaker 1: they reviewed it, because that allowed them to kick a
Speaker 1: field goal, right, that continued that drive on that play
Speaker 1: that was reviewed. I still don't think that foot was
Speaker 1: still down when he bobbled the ball. He was third
Speaker 1: and fourteen at the Kansas City forty seven. They're punny, right,
Speaker 1: And when you saw the replay, people on so the
Speaker 1: sideline officials that they're not on the part of the crew.
Speaker 1: They're the sideline guys, right, they're both telling the other team, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going your way. Because at one point the Eagles
Speaker 1: are going they're celebrating like it's a catch, and then
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, Kansas City's walking up the
Speaker 1: field like it's going to be a punt, and then
Speaker 1: they decided that they were going to hold it as
Speaker 1: a catch. I don't think it was a catch, but
Speaker 1: no one's talking about that, you know. And I'll give Sirianni.
Speaker 1: He's kind of irritating, but I'll give him credit after
Speaker 1: the game when when he had to answer the question
Speaker 1: about the hold, he said, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: other plays in the game that helped decide the outcome.
Speaker 1: And I give him credit for that because he's right.
Speaker 1: Everybody forgot because that play took place with six thirteen
Speaker 1: left in the third quarter. Everybody forgot about that catch.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a catch. The guy was out of bounds,
Speaker 1: he only had one foot down, but that that was
Speaker 1: three points. It take those three points away, and you
Speaker 1: know it's a different outcome. So I think tip for
Speaker 1: tap there. Well, let me say this to fully take
Speaker 1: a break. I got cut off talking about how you know,
Speaker 1: we should really pull for the NFC East, and my
Speaker 1: last statement was, you guys should stop acting like some
Speaker 1: freaking children. No, we're acting. We're acting like the Eagles fans. Okay,
Speaker 1: I love it all right, we continue with more mix shots.
Speaker 1: We got so much to get to all that happened
Speaker 1: from a Cowboys perspective over Super Bowl A week in
Speaker 1: the Valley of the Sun. When we come back in

Speaker 1: How about one more on the game? Okay, well you
Speaker 1: got on your legal pad, my legal pad a lot
Speaker 1: on mahomes on when you thought he was done and
Speaker 1: comes back and played at the level he did and
Speaker 1: ran the football. I thought it was absolutely fantastic that
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'd ever realized that that the
Speaker 1: MVP of the season had lost nine straight games and
Speaker 1: Super Bowls and he ended up being the first one
Speaker 1: that broke the string, broke that string that he doubled.
Speaker 1: And boy, and hare's my other thing. How do these
Speaker 1: how do these teams get wide receivers so wide open?
Speaker 1: Is it play design? A couple of instances in yesterday's
Speaker 1: game it was play design. Well, both of those touchdowns
Speaker 1: late for Kansas City, right when they had the Tony
Speaker 1: and it was he was in motion and then doubled
Speaker 1: back and they couldn't they couldn't come back them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then sky Moore kind of the same thing. What if
Speaker 1: you recall guys, I think we did the same thing
Speaker 1: to them, uh this year as well for the secondary
Speaker 1: getting confusion right from that bunch formation and the red
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken as well. So and but even
Speaker 1: how do you how do you how do you let
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith wide open? Like that he lived in Kansas City?
Speaker 1: I mean, did you cover the guy? You know? Where
Speaker 1: is the safety man? Um? I was unbelievable that I
Speaker 1: was gonna really uh good at what you said tag
Speaker 1: uh my homes, you know, I always did like my homes,
Speaker 1: but still thought that people just gave him still too
Speaker 1: much credit, even though I think he's amazing, you know,
Speaker 1: but sometimes you know, I was just thinking enough enough. Uh.
Speaker 1: This year it was different for me. You know, when
Speaker 1: he get he lost Tibi hill Um, you know it,
Speaker 1: I really thought that he was going to be affected
Speaker 1: by that, especially the way the season started for them.
Speaker 1: I was really, you know, just wagging my finger like, okay,
Speaker 1: there you go. And I saw him when in plays
Speaker 1: that were really ugly, in games that really really ugly
Speaker 1: for the Candid the Chiefs, and it was because of
Speaker 1: him that those games were pulled out. And I mean,
Speaker 1: of course, you got your affristers round, they kind of
Speaker 1: keep him out of there. But he's breaking the pocket,
Speaker 1: he's using his legs, and for him to play in
Speaker 1: this Super Bowl, you know, I don't want to overblow it,
Speaker 1: but you guys, remember what to did right that time
Speaker 1: when his leg was broken. That was some amazing stuff, guys.
Speaker 1: I mean that was some superhuman stuff. You know, we
Speaker 1: give a lot of people a lot of credit these days,
Speaker 1: but what he did in that game with superhuman stuff,
Speaker 1: and like he said about my homes fact, I did
Speaker 1: not think he was going to be a factor with
Speaker 1: his legs at all. There's no way I could see it.
Speaker 1: You know. I thought he was just being one of
Speaker 1: those guys that, you know, trying to show what kind
Speaker 1: of leader is. No, he is that leader because he
Speaker 1: came back and made a difference and it hosts. He's
Speaker 1: come back and made a difference in almost every game
Speaker 1: by just him being uh im prompt too, you understand. Yeah.
Speaker 1: To me, that's heart. That's that's heart, and that's leadership stuff.
Speaker 1: To me right now, he's really one of the guys
Speaker 1: that really kind of deserves all of that that stuff.
Speaker 1: That said blown, I think he should carry that slade,
Speaker 1: you know. I when here was the other thing about
Speaker 1: Kansas City. They made such a big deal of the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia front and their seventy snap sacks they got zero.
Speaker 1: Somebody on that offensive line had to play pretty well
Speaker 1: for Kansas City, and I don't recall them ever mentioning
Speaker 1: anybody's name on their offensive line. Like we heard all
Speaker 1: about Kelsey and you know the Philadelphia front. They ran
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty eight yards on Philadelphia on
Speaker 1: that front, So somebody on that offensive line had to
Speaker 1: play pro About the former Oklahoma Sooner or Cree Humphrey
Speaker 1: at center and almost center, Orlando Brown at left tackle,
Speaker 1: I think they are time they mentioned him is when
Speaker 1: he was there a penalty or something or false start maybe,
Speaker 1: but they never mentioned anything. How about these two, how
Speaker 1: about these lines? How about these two offensive lines. And
Speaker 1: when you look at and that's something I started charting
Speaker 1: early in the season because you crossed the league. There
Speaker 1: were so many injuries on the offensive line, including here
Speaker 1: in Dallas when Tyman Smith goes down before the season
Speaker 1: even started. This season, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, do you during the regular season how many
Speaker 1: starts did they lose from their starting five offensive linemen
Speaker 1: all season long? I think, like a good lawyer, Bill
Speaker 1: knows the answer to that. Eagles, that's right. The Eagles
Speaker 1: missed three starts from their starting offensive line all season.
Speaker 1: Two of them came late in the year Lane Johnson,
Speaker 1: and they had one other miss start. And the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs had three miss starts on their offensive line.
Speaker 1: Both these teams with three miss starts on their offensive
Speaker 1: line all season. You go with the Cowboys Tyrn Smith,
Speaker 1: he wound up starting four games in the regular season,
Speaker 1: so he missed thirteen starts. There, Terrence Steele wound up
Speaker 1: missing four starts. He played thirteen games, and then he
Speaker 1: even lost starts. Yotish one start from Beyottish and and
Speaker 1: McGovern missed two starts, and so even and McGovern wasn't
Speaker 1: one of those first five that I'm talking about. So
Speaker 1: it makes a big difference because teams cannot invest in
Speaker 1: their backup offensive lineman. The salary cap won't allow it,
Speaker 1: which is why when they did all the commercials for
Speaker 1: the USFL and the XFL, that's where they'll have problems
Speaker 1: often they don't have enough offensive lineman. Well, as you
Speaker 1: talk about off this linement, that kind of gives me
Speaker 1: a platform to talk a little trash to you guys.
Speaker 1: Oh and that would be then as you look at
Speaker 1: how this season turned down, I was just really I
Speaker 1: said a few things, you know, during the season. I
Speaker 1: didn't really make a big deal about it. You know,
Speaker 1: I never really make a big deal about anything. It's
Speaker 1: just not my style. So anyway, I really want to
Speaker 1: just wag my finger at you guys and tell you
Speaker 1: I told you so about how if Jalen Hurst was
Speaker 1: to receive an offensive line, he was going to be
Speaker 1: a problem. I said that after our first game against Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: I believe that was the one at home, and he
Speaker 1: threw this ball from out of bounds, going out of bounds,
Speaker 1: going to his right, and I believe Davis, you know,
Speaker 1: it was perfect, and David went up and called it.
Speaker 1: It was no, by the way, touchdown. But I told
Speaker 1: you guys, he will be doing a lot more bad
Speaker 1: if he only had an offensive line. And if Bill
Speaker 1: doesn't stop powering about the Lawton championship. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: give this dude from love man. What national championship? Well,
Speaker 1: the playoffs, the playoffs, the playoffs in college Oklahoma national
Speaker 1: championship had nothing to do with Jayalen hurts. Well, you
Speaker 1: have been mad at him ever since that year. No,
Speaker 1: he has developed a lot more. Better give him, Please
Speaker 1: give No, he's I think he's always had the talent.
Speaker 1: I think that since he was at Oklahoma. I think
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has done a great job developing him as a
Speaker 1: passer in this league. Um, he was mainly running the
Speaker 1: football when he was at Oklahoma. I give a lot
Speaker 1: of credit. You know. Well, And at one point in
Speaker 1: the game, greg Olson started touting jay Len and his
Speaker 1: journey to this point. And there was one part and
Speaker 1: he talked about him overcoming adversity, you know, at Alabama,
Speaker 1: what happened to him at Alabama, then transferring to Oklahoma
Speaker 1: and then into the NFL as a second round draft
Speaker 1: pick and not a starter initially, and all that but
Speaker 1: I think the most I think what I give him
Speaker 1: credit for, especially in this environment in college football, more
Speaker 1: than anything was when he left Alabama. He didn't leave
Speaker 1: Alabama right after he got pulled out of that national
Speaker 1: championship game and too led him to the national championship.
Speaker 1: He stayed another year at Alabama. It wasn't like he
Speaker 1: got mad and then well, I'm I'm gonna go find
Speaker 1: some other place to play. He stayed at Alabama and
Speaker 1: he got I believe he got his degree at Alabama.
Speaker 1: And then actually the next year he had to come
Speaker 1: in in the SEC title game when TWA got hurt
Speaker 1: and lead Alabama on the football field. But that says
Speaker 1: a lot about the character of Jalen Hurts that, Okay,
Speaker 1: when times went bad, what you're seeing across college football
Speaker 1: right now as well, I'm okay, they don't like me here,
Speaker 1: I'll just show them. I'll just go someplace else. And
Speaker 1: Jalen didn't do that. He stayed at Alabama and completed
Speaker 1: his time there, and then it became the right time
Speaker 1: to transfer. That's when he, with the blessing of Nick Saban,
Speaker 1: went to Oklahoma. And I thought that I talked that
Speaker 1: just like you and brought up though, and like I said,
Speaker 1: we really gated your platform. We you know, we talked
Speaker 1: about their office in line allows him to have the
Speaker 1: poise that he has shown throughout the entire year. And
Speaker 1: let's be I've been realistic about that, and you know,
Speaker 1: and the way they have developed everything around him, man,
Speaker 1: almost everything was perfect for it to succeed. Well. He
Speaker 1: developed as a pocket passer too, because he wasn't that
Speaker 1: good at Oklahoma and he wasn't that good his rookie year.
Speaker 1: He really worked at it, and I give him credit
Speaker 1: for that. One of the guys post game was hell.
Speaker 1: It was a post game interview with him, and one
Speaker 1: of the guys I can't remember who said, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: he's going to be our first fifty million dollars a
Speaker 1: year quarterback. And you know he's going into his third,
Speaker 1: third year this year, this next year, right, He's that's three, right,
Speaker 1: So he's doing some money pretty soon. And it had
Speaker 1: a second round draft pick, don't they don't have that
Speaker 1: fifth year option, right? And I just saw I also
Speaker 1: saw that Philadelphia, oh, by the way, has twenty unrestricted
Speaker 1: free agents too. So all of a sudden, the one
Speaker 1: thing I always thought was very different about Jaylen as well.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when Matthew Stafford was on the stage
Speaker 1: after they had celebrated, uh, the Super Bowl win and
Speaker 1: as he was leaving, the lady was right there in
Speaker 1: front of him, and she fell off the off the stage.
Speaker 1: Y'all remember that. I do not. And Matthew was he
Speaker 1: saw it. Mike was right in front of like five
Speaker 1: street in front of him, and so she fell off
Speaker 1: the stage. It was pretty far and he kind of
Speaker 1: looked at her. I think he was a little catchy
Speaker 1: and he kind of looked at her like, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: that's my stuff. Right, So he went the other way.
Speaker 1: So I'm not falling off the stage, Yeah right, Well
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go to help either, And so just
Speaker 1: the difference between between that and Jalen Hurts was coming
Speaker 1: into the locker room after a win in Philadelphia and
Speaker 1: the fans were really trying to get his autograph and
Speaker 1: I was down and they leaned over too far and
Speaker 1: the rail collapsed, Yeah, right in front of him, right,
Speaker 1: And you know this is cool as whatever. He just
Speaker 1: beens over the other more people up take a picture
Speaker 1: of him, and he goes to the locker room to
Speaker 1: that's the difference between the quarterback. Humble as he is.
Speaker 1: She's always been that humble guy. That's what you speak to.
Speaker 1: Spoke too early. He has always been a humble guy,
Speaker 1: good things the right way. And by the way, just
Speaker 1: to clarify on Hurts, he's going into his contract year.
Speaker 1: This is his fourth season coming up. He was he
Speaker 1: was drafted in twenty twenty second round pick, and so
Speaker 1: he's going in. That's why they brought it up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so so you know, darn well, this doesn't want
Speaker 1: him playing in his head. Ye, what the Eagles did
Speaker 1: this year with their roster and acquiring, making all those
Speaker 1: trades and signings and so forth, they have no money.
Speaker 1: Now this was their year, and they knew this was
Speaker 1: their year, and now they got to start paying that quarterback. Well,
Speaker 1: they were offended. I guess they can. They can do
Speaker 1: his contract where he's got another year where they got
Speaker 1: some salary flexibility. But it's about to it's about to
Speaker 1: hit big time for them. They were offended. At Stephen
Speaker 1: Jones pointed that out. They got all mad. All right,
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break, wait one last before we break, okay,
Speaker 1: because we're gonna do this other stuff. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys stayed with the postgame shows, but on
Speaker 1: Fox they went to Fox one or whatever, and Sean
Speaker 1: Payton was part of the panel and they were talking
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs starting this dynasty and Sean Payton goes,
Speaker 1: he goes, you know, he goes, Andy Reid's got two
Speaker 1: super Bowls, He's been pretty successful. Mahomes has been successful.
Speaker 1: He goes, I think it's about time that, you know.
Speaker 1: Andy just says, Okay, that's enough and retire. And the
Speaker 1: guys on the panel finally caught it. They were looking
Speaker 1: at him wild eyed, right, and they go, oh, you're
Speaker 1: in the same division. It was pretty good. He was
Speaker 1: pushing that Andy retire. All right, let's talk cowboys at
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and in the Hall of Fame when
Speaker 1: we come back on mix shots. We paid how much
Speaker 1: for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can
Speaker 1: you pass me a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey,
Speaker 1: Oh look at that. That's not the end, no way.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right?
Speaker 1: Five times not enough times for everyone who traded in
Speaker 1: rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough PEPSI
Speaker 1: zero sugar. That's what I like. Nobody protects you from
Speaker 1: Mayhem like All State. You hear that I'm a torrential downpour? Torrential?
Speaker 1: What's that even mean? It means you can't see out
Speaker 1: of your windshore and if you have the wrong car insurance,
Speaker 1: you might have to make it rain to fix your bumper.
Speaker 1: So switch to All State, save money and be better

Speaker 1: with the flag football the young lady from Mexico that
Speaker 1: they couldn't pull her flag. She'd being interviewed right now, okay,
Speaker 1: NFL network. It was pretty funny. She ran all the
Speaker 1: way home. Everybody's trying to pull her. You remember were you.
Speaker 1: I did not watch any of the commercial anyway, and
Speaker 1: she she avoided everybody that she got to her house
Speaker 1: and her mom was like grad to see her, and
Speaker 1: her mom went to go grab her flag. She goes
Speaker 1: not now, but there I did hear. I did see
Speaker 1: reviews on social media. Yeah, on the that was a
Speaker 1: good one. The flag football commercial. Yeah, all right, okay,
Speaker 1: let's get into you want to get into Hall of Fame? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: and congratulations who Chuck Halley, DeMarcus Ware. I'll throw Zach
Speaker 1: Thomas into the mix two as he finished up his career.
Speaker 1: And I just love did Knock on the Door special
Speaker 1: that the NFL Network and Pro Football Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: does every year, And it's really neat when they when
Speaker 1: they find out they're going into the Hall. Yeah, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I I was torn because I knew DeMarcus
Speaker 1: Ware is going to get in, right, if he didn't
Speaker 1: get in this year, he's getting in next year. But
Speaker 1: I knew if he got in, and you knew Chuck
Speaker 1: Holly wasn't going to get in, then Darren Woodson didn't
Speaker 1: have a shot. Right, They're not going to put three
Speaker 1: cowboys in in the same year. Just not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately for Darren, he didn't get in. But again, right,
Speaker 1: yeah again, and but you know good DeMarcus got in.
Speaker 1: It was his second time, and finally the Pro Football
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame righted a probably forty five year wrong
Speaker 1: with Chuck Holly should have been in a long time ago.
Speaker 1: I believe the first time he was eligible was nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy eight. Nineteen seventy eight, all these years and one
Speaker 1: of the best football players in Cowboys history from back
Speaker 1: in that era was still not in. So the fact
Speaker 1: that he got in, I think, I don't know how
Speaker 1: you guys felt, but I felt like it was pretty
Speaker 1: bitter sweet sweet that he got in, but sort of
Speaker 1: bitter that he got in after. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he can appreciate it. I agree with his son. I
Speaker 1: talked to his son, Scott Holly the day after, and
Speaker 1: I said, do you think do you think he knows?
Speaker 1: Do you think he understands what happened? And he goes?
Speaker 1: You know at times I think maybe a little bit,
Speaker 1: but I just don't know he goes. The only time
Speaker 1: I think he reacted to it was John McClane's on
Speaker 1: the Senior committee, the reporter writer from Houston now that yeah,
Speaker 1: he's retired and he's on the senior committee. Rick Goslin,
Speaker 1: and he said, uh, John was the one that came
Speaker 1: to the house when he made the finals to let
Speaker 1: the family know, to let his dad know, And he said,
Speaker 1: you know, John was explaining it to him and he said,
Speaker 1: my dad. And in case everybody I think this was
Speaker 1: we were in training camp and Chuck Holly is the
Speaker 1: later last stages of dementia. Uh, you know, he barely
Speaker 1: can walk. He's having trouble speaking more than a couple
Speaker 1: of words. And so when when John came and told him,
Speaker 1: Scott said, I don't I don't think he understood. And
Speaker 1: he goes and I left and he goes. A little
Speaker 1: bit later, I got a call from our caregiver that's
Speaker 1: been with Dad for a long time, and he said
Speaker 1: I was trying to explain to him. He said, to
Speaker 1: your dad, you know what this all meant? That you
Speaker 1: know you're you're probably going into the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: and he said. He finally looked up at me, the caregiver,
Speaker 1: and his eyes lit up, and he said, I guess
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get a new suit. And so
Speaker 1: maybe he understood. Now it's a matter of how long
Speaker 1: he can retain that understanding, because I think if you
Speaker 1: saw it, the knock on the door at his house
Speaker 1: was from Roger Staubach to come in and explain it
Speaker 1: to him, and I think he kind of got a
Speaker 1: little bit of a smile. Yes, he did not thought.
Speaker 1: I thought that there was a look on his face
Speaker 1: that he got it, he understood what he was saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but well nothing Roger being I'm sure he thought it
Speaker 1: was something right, Well, you know what important, Scott said.
Speaker 1: A bunch of the gold Jacket guys showed up. Bob
Speaker 1: Lilly was there, Cliff Harris was there. I think now
Speaker 1: these weren't these were Leroy Jordan other and then Charlie
Speaker 1: Waters was there, Drew Pearson. So they all kind of
Speaker 1: showed up for the thing to make a big deal
Speaker 1: out of it. So so, you know, I hated asking
Speaker 1: the question, but he was. Scott was so nice and
Speaker 1: he was the one by the way. They went on
Speaker 1: stage too. When Chuck Holly was introduced, that was his son,
Speaker 1: and I said, so do you think he can make
Speaker 1: it to the induction ceremony? He goes, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He said, it's gonna be really tough because he has
Speaker 1: sensory overload. Like if there's a lot of noise and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things going on, he doesn't deal
Speaker 1: with it too well. So that's always the shame when
Speaker 1: those older guys like that get in at such a
Speaker 1: late stage that they can't really appreciate it, but it
Speaker 1: was well. I was his son was great about it though,
Speaker 1: cool cool. I was, of course upset again about Woodie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. If I can't make at
Speaker 1: least somebody can making him, damn thank god. So you know,
Speaker 1: I've been pulling for for a while, especially when you
Speaker 1: told me how many times fags that he has already filled.
Speaker 1: And when we had the Tom Lande Wards. You know, Uh,
Speaker 1: he's charming guy. He sat next to my wife during
Speaker 1: the time. He was so cool. She really got to
Speaker 1: like him, and man, she's as upset as I am
Speaker 1: now he didn't. So he has a fan in Rreal walls.
Speaker 1: He has a big fan in her and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: she's keeping the clock on him as long as she is.
Speaker 1: You know. The amazing thing about Woody is that's the
Speaker 1: first time he's made it to the finals. He's always
Speaker 1: been you know what. And that was the deal with
Speaker 1: Scott talking about his dad that you know, for all
Speaker 1: these years, for a whole bunch of years, he always
Speaker 1: was on the battle ballot, right, but he never got
Speaker 1: past the semifinals. And he told me, you guys, and
Speaker 1: I wrote about it. He told me an interesting story.
Speaker 1: He said, when he was in middle school and he
Speaker 1: realized all these other guys were getting in from the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and his dad was being left out. He said,
Speaker 1: I wrote a letter to the Pro Football Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame explaining my dad's qualifications and why he should be
Speaker 1: in it, and he said, he said, they sent me
Speaker 1: a letter back. They wrote him back he was like
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen years old, and explained to him that he'd
Speaker 1: been a semi finalist for fourteen years but never really
Speaker 1: made it to the next round, or however many years
Speaker 1: it was. I don't think it was fourteen, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty funny that he actually did that,
Speaker 1: and then when it finally happened, he was the one
Speaker 1: to go up there and represent his father when they
Speaker 1: introduced the guys. Okay, now here's the other thing as
Speaker 1: far as the going forward with a Pro Football Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, and of course we there were three senior
Speaker 1: finalists this year that all got in. Okay, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: and they've expanded it to three senior nominees or the
Speaker 1: potential for three senior inductees in the class of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four and the Class of twenty twenty five. Also,
Speaker 1: so I don't know if there's anyone here in our
Speaker 1: present company who might be interested in that little note.
Speaker 1: But uh, there there are company I already knew about. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm letting everyone else know. Don't tea darn. You're a senior.
Speaker 1: You're a senior already. And so, as I said on
Speaker 1: the air last night, okay, took care of business this year. Now,
Speaker 1: Woody and Everson here, Yes, let's do it. Let's go,
Speaker 1: and you know what, to emphasize my point to so
Speaker 1: the other two seniors that got in, Joe Pleco and
Speaker 1: then Ken Riley, who has already passed away, and he's
Speaker 1: already passed, don't wait till I was saying, just don't
Speaker 1: wait till these wait so long for these older guys. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: he never he never made a Pro Bowl pro? Is
Speaker 1: that true? Ken Riley? Ken? That part, that's what I heard.
Speaker 1: I think I heard that. I don't know that for
Speaker 1: a fact. I mean, you know he's been he said.
Speaker 1: I think it's Ken third. He has always been carrying
Speaker 1: the flag for his pops man. And you know that's
Speaker 1: just really a good deal. Kim By. I always was
Speaker 1: a class act. And I say I say it all
Speaker 1: the time, to be able to uh strive and in
Speaker 1: situation in Cincinnati there wasn't the greatest situation at all,
Speaker 1: and to play his entire career there. I just thought
Speaker 1: it was an easy testament of what consistency and law
Speaker 1: tea was all about. I thought he really deserved better
Speaker 1: when he was a lot. He was first team All
Speaker 1: Pro in nineteen eighty three, but no Pro Bowls and
Speaker 1: sixty five career interceptions for Ken Riley and that would
Speaker 1: be number five think so I think so yeah, So
Speaker 1: all right, last few minutes here, what what do you
Speaker 1: got to wrap things up here? And then and then
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but I was somewhat
Speaker 1: surprised that Dak was named the Walter Peyton winner. Um
Speaker 1: got that award. I mean there's thirty I don't know,
Speaker 1: there was thirty one other guys. And you know, I
Speaker 1: saw a couple other guys stories. Uh, I think it
Speaker 1: was Cam Jordan was was one of them. Um And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, you know, some of these
Speaker 1: guys got some great stories. But the fact that Dak
Speaker 1: won it, UH very deserving obviously, UM And and I
Speaker 1: was just kind of happy for him right, just you know,
Speaker 1: all he's gone through and all the grief he's taken
Speaker 1: after the loss. Uh, for something good like that to happen, Um,
Speaker 1: I thought was it was a nice touch. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was there before. I'm sure it was good to see that.
Speaker 1: It kind of just quieted everything just a little bit rightly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, something good came through and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: very bad and get off his back for one, even
Speaker 1: though there was a lot of backhanded compliments. And he
Speaker 1: is and that's why I stayed off social media on purpose.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to get pissed off. And he is
Speaker 1: the fourth former Cowboy to win the Man of the
Speaker 1: Year award, going back to Roger Staubach and then Troy Aikman,
Speaker 1: Jason Witten and now Dak Prescott. They're gonna have room
Speaker 1: down the hallway. Yeah, expand that three shot to four.
Speaker 1: They've got to do something here at the Star there's
Speaker 1: there's a monument of sorts to the Man of the
Speaker 1: Year winners. Who knows. I haven't walked by there yet.
Speaker 1: They might have already done it. They may never know
Speaker 1: how quickly they can act. They may have all right,
Speaker 1: So we got a lot to get to in coming
Speaker 1: episodes of mix Shots, Free Shot. Free agency is going
Speaker 1: to be huge. We're gonna have to dive through that
Speaker 1: with nineteen guys that they've got to deal with, and
Speaker 1: some of them very important to the success they had
Speaker 1: this year. And you can't resign everybody, but that's going
Speaker 1: This is going to be an important offseat and for
Speaker 1: this team, the most important thing that needs to happen
Speaker 1: this offseason. Everson Walls, what do you think it is?
Speaker 1: Wide receivers and would not argue with you, and they
Speaker 1: think we need I think we need more playmakers, and
Speaker 1: you know, I dare say we need to start including
Speaker 1: not just uh Polo. I mean you never know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen to him, but not just Polo in the
Speaker 1: passing game. But it needs to be consistent that our
Speaker 1: running backs really need to be receiving capable because we
Speaker 1: need as many options as we can get. You see
Speaker 1: how it worked out with even Jalen in the game.
Speaker 1: There were times when you know he was on the
Speaker 1: run and everything's covered down field, he was able to
Speaker 1: pop it down checkdowns. Even with my homes. He saw
Speaker 1: the way they played my homes. That's the way Giants
Speaker 1: played Buffalo in nineteen ninety twenty five. We made sure
Speaker 1: that we just kept a big playdown the Mahoma still
Speaker 1: limited to find him outlet out point guy. And speaking
Speaker 1: of wide receivers, and how about this Super Bowl champion
Speaker 1: team a year ago they lose Tyree Hill and free
Speaker 1: agency and what did they do to offset that loss?
Speaker 1: Not only in free agency, but in the draft they
Speaker 1: focused in on wide receivers. They also lost to Marcus Robinson,
Speaker 1: who had started ten games for them last year at
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He signed with Vegas last last offseason. And
Speaker 1: so what they do They signed a couple of free
Speaker 1: agents and Juju Smith, Schuster, Markus Valdis Scantling and in
Speaker 1: the second round they drafted Sky Moore. And even during
Speaker 1: the season they pick up Kadarius Tony gave up a
Speaker 1: third and a sixth for him during the middle of
Speaker 1: the season. Well, doctor Darius to man about lucky job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking the Giants aren't real happy with that performance.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, and we had that guy, but you
Speaker 1: know what, he was always that guy. It's like was
Speaker 1: always something with him, right, he was he was our
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what about the Yeah, Kevin Joseph. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he tell yeah, not do it. Yeah, you're not doing boy.
Speaker 1: He sure got out of the Eagles way, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that. And we're gonna get out of Chris Beamley
Speaker 1: producer Supreme's way. Now as we're in our last minute,
Speaker 1: it's lunchtime. It is lunch time here. I'm sitting here
