And it's been 39 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: twenty years this this camp is twenty years old. It's 40 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: been twenty years since we had a team good enough 41 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: to win a national championship. And but this is always 42 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: my favorite week end of the year. However, it's so 43 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: different this year. There's only gonna be twenty five thousand 44 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: fans all wearing masks, hopefully at the Cotton Bowl at 45 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: eleven am tomorrow in Texas has its best shot in 46 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: a while to beat an unranked Oklahoma team tomorrow.

You 48 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: didn't have us warm up the field for you from 49 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: the swat. Usually you have the Grambling prayer to train 50 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: Southwest Classic didn't have it this year. It's gonna be 51 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: a little incomplete. You know, you guys fed off of 52 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: that at ou Texas. It's gonna be a little a 53 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: lot more missing than what you just mentioned, a whole 54 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: lot more missing. Now try it. There's no stake fair, 55 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: there's no Grambling, Prairie View Games. Nothing. And I did 56 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: have my press pass fedexed. It was on my doorstep 57 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: this morning. And I don't think I'm gonna go. I 58 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: just don't. I don't know. That's a good mom that's 59 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: a good moment, Bill, that's a good moment. I mean, 60 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't even feel like anyway you Texas does it? No, 61 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: not at all. Okay, you had a bunch of a Well, 62 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: that's wait till tonight. We'll see how many arrests they 63 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: have in the streets downtown, and then we'll go from there. 64 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: I have one question and we'll move on. I want 65 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: to know, Bill, when you grew up, either in high 66 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: school or in college, what I have found you going 67 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: down Main Street, cavorting till midnight at night, uh, drinking 68 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: and screen That is a story, Mickey, that is a 69 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: story I forgot to tell you ahead of time. Do 70 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: not mention that on the air. I didn't know about 71 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Commerce Street, especially my freshman year in college. Okay, I'll 72 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: just leave it at that. That's a story that I 73 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: don't want my daughters to learn about. I think that 74 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I think I know the story. So you're good, all right, 75 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: fair enough, fair enough. I will say this. I will 76 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: say this, and this will get us into the Cowboys 77 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: because there's so many fans out there who and I've 78 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: been a Cowboys fan since the day I was when ever, 79 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: since you were growing up in Hamilton Park, you were 80 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: a Cowboys fan forever? Right, okay, right down the street. 81 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: It's just something about your football team and sports in 82 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: general that it unites a family, units, a community, and 83 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: so forth. And that's what that's what I love about 84 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: this Texas Ou or OU Texas Weekend. It's it's it's 85 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: a rivalry, yes, but it's the Texas fan. It is 86 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: the one weekend Texas football fans point two every year, 87 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Oklahoma football fans point two every year Cowboys fans point 88 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: to every Sunday during an NFL season. And I guess 89 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: got one little personal story to tell you about the 90 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: Oklahoma Texas. My dad grew up in Oklahoma Keemo, Oklahoma, 91 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: or just down the road from Troy Aikman's hometown of Henriette, Oklahoma, 92 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: and so as huge Ou fan. That's how I became 93 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: an Ou fan. My last memory of my father in 94 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: two thousand and three was an OU Texas Weekend. OU won. 95 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: They happened to win the game sixty five to thirteen 96 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: over Vince Young in Texas Heyere. But we went to 97 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: Humperdinks after the game and he and he was I 98 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: knew he was in his final days. Whatever. The last 99 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: words I heard my father say as we left the 100 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: restaurant that night was I just hate me I just 101 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: had me a longhorn steak. He passed away a week 102 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: or so later, and but anyway, it's those kinds of 103 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: memories that makes sports special when your family and your 104 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: your friends, and yeah, anyway, that's I just passed that 105 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: along to start things off with good stuff stuff. You know. 106 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: I think Texas as a great opportunity to win the 107 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: game this year. But it's it's more than that. It's 108 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: more about who wins loses the game. That's what sports. 109 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: Sports brings us together, and I think we appreciate it 110 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: even more here on the during this pandemic without having 111 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: sports over the last six months. All right, I agree. 112 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: All right, Now let's get to the news of the day, 113 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: and it is huge news because as we as we 114 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: told you yesterday during Mick shots, things were going on 115 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: with Tyrn Smith as that's when reports start first started 116 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: surfacing that he was getting a second opinion on his neck. 117 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: And sure enough he has decided to have a season 118 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: ending a surgery. And so Mickey phillis in on what 119 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: you know about it. Well, I don't know this officially, 120 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: but since it had been called a pinched nerve, the 121 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: only thing that pinches a nerve in your neck off 122 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: if you have a bulging disc. And I would imagine 123 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: he's having similar surgery to what Layton vander esh had 124 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: and I don't want to and I remember back when 125 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: he had his people were he had minor neck surgery. 126 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: Nothing minor about having surgery on your neck, right, because 127 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: they're doing something close to your vertebrate, which is close 128 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: to your spinal cord. So uh, yeah, it sounds like 129 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: they tried to do everything they could, and normally that's 130 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: what happens. Surgery is always the last resort, and it 131 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: looked like that this couldn't be corrected unless they had surgery. 132 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy sort of made that announcement this morning and 133 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: then but he said it's correctable, and you got the 134 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: feeling that this isn't a career threatening surgery. It's something 135 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: to relieve the pressure he was having on his spinal cord. 136 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: So you know, you hope it's successful and that you know, 137 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: you it seems like Tyrant Smith has been here forever, right, 138 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: He's in his tenth year, but he's only twenty nine. 139 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: He turns thirty in December, and so you know he's 140 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: got years ahead of them, and this will be the 141 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: longest span of games he misses, because normally it's been 142 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: minus three in each of the last I think three 143 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: or four years. But he's always come back and think 144 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: about this somehow, some way. He played eighty two snaps 145 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and this thing didn't go away, right, It 146 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: didn't just go away, but I would imagine playing that 147 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: many snaps, And as we talked about giving Olivier Vernon 148 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: hell for eighty two snaps, it flared up in the 149 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: week and they decided, and he decided, this is what 150 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: has to happen. So the Cowboys go into this game 151 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: without their two starting offensive tackles, without their two starting centers. 152 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: If we go back to March when Travis Frederick or 153 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: April when he and now that he was going to retire, 154 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: and Joe Looney is still out, and on top of that, 155 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: their guy that they considered their third offensive tackle, Cam Irving, 156 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: just gets back into a little bit of practice this week. 157 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's ready to go, even in 158 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: a reserve role. So we can spend half this show 159 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: trying to figure out exactly what they're gonna do that 160 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: neither Mike McCarthy nor Jerry Jones wanted to reveal on 161 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: how they're going to handle the offensive tackle position and 162 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: how they're going to handle the backup center position. So 163 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: we can throw out our ideas and none of them 164 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: will be like absolutely wrong until probably we know for 165 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: sure on Sunday. I don't think Bill we go here, Everson, 166 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: I guess we've lost Everson on a live transmission from 167 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: the s WBC Mortgage Everson Walls Studio. So Mickey, yeah, 168 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: I think to echo what I think Everson was about 169 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: to say. It shows you how valuable the Tyrant Smith 170 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: has been to this team through the years. And really 171 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: it's a team is fortunate when it's able to keep 172 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: their offensive line intact. I think if you go through 173 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: through all the rosters, all the depth charts across the 174 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: National Football League, and the teams that have healthy offensive 175 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: lines are typically the teams that are doing well right now. Okay, 176 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: now there is a team in Philadelphia that has as 177 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: many offensive line injury issues as the Cowboys have, and 178 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: they're sitting there, I guess technically in first place to 179 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: the NFCES, and I guess the good news for the 180 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys is they're also playing a team on Sunday, the 181 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: Giants that had their left tackle opt out, and so 182 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: they've got some weakness at the tackle position themselves. And 183 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: so but I think we got Everson back now. So Everson, 184 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: go ahead and tell us what you were saying before 185 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: before I have my phone starts screwing up again. I 186 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: just say that I think Tyron has been the best 187 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: offensive lineman on this team for the past ten years. 188 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: I've heard people say things about how smart Zach Martin is, 189 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: about Fredericks and all of these players that we brought in. 190 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: Because we brought in a host of studs on our 191 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: offensive line, which really made us. It's caused a culture 192 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: in Dallas because of those three guys that I just named. 193 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: But to me, Tyron was always the most important, the 194 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: best athlete, and I think the most critical to this 195 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: offensive line. Whenever he's out, we just don't do well. 196 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. And those other guys 197 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: can miss it. We can kind of cover up for them, 198 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: but you have to be very athletic to be on 199 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: that left end, especially the blind side of the quarterback. 200 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: So having him have Das back all this time I 201 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: think has been amazing, and we've been fortunate as Cowboy 202 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: fans to have that luxury. It's almost like another ray 203 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: Field Right for Roger starback. Rayfield Right rarely gave up 204 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: sacks to Roger. And as far as Tyron Smith is concerned, 205 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: compared to all other tackles that have come along in 206 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: the last ten years, to me, he's been the best 207 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: and the best offensive mine and the Cowboys I've ever had. 208 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: I hope he comes back. Well, I hope this injury 209 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: is just like vander Eschs to wait and come back. 210 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: But otherwise, you heard me talk yesterday about how concerned 211 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: I am just about his well being as a person, 212 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: and that still stands as well, you know, ever since 213 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: he might have been the best offensive lineman in the league, 214 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: not just with the Cowboys. I would love to put 215 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: Olivier Vernon on a life detector tests and ask him, Okay, 216 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: how was Tyran Smith this past Sunday? But yeah, he's been. 217 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: And that's why because he might lie about it, you know, 218 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: and say, wow, he's okay. I want him to tell 219 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: the truth, but you know, and so to maybe put 220 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: this all in proper perspective. Uh, this morning, when Jerry 221 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: was doing his segment on one oh five three the fan, 222 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: they asked him about his his biggest concerns, and the 223 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys have enough concerns going into this game, and he goes, 224 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: of all the concerns I have, it's the offensive line. 225 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: And ain't that the truth? Because if your offensive line 226 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: ain't functioning as an offense, you're not functioning. And that 227 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: offense has been the Cowboys bread and butter. Even though 228 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: they're one in three, it's at least kept them in 229 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: every game uh they played. And now if that offensive 230 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: line can't function because the offensive line, offensive can't function 231 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: because of the offense line, boy, this team's gonna be 232 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: hard pressed to rely on a defense that hasn't been 233 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: reliable in the last three weeks. You know, think back 234 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: to the draft when Tyron Smith came out. He was 235 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: the eighth pick in the draft out of USC in 236 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven. Who is the next pick after 237 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith? It was? It was J. J. Watt Ah 238 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: And this is how this is how highly I think 239 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: of Tyrn Smith. J. J. Watt has been an NFL 240 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year three times in his career. 241 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: If I had that pick to do over for the 242 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys in twenty eleven. I'd still take Tyron Smith ahead 243 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: of JJ Watt. I think that's how important he has 244 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: been to the to this Cowboys franchise the last decade, 245 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,359 Speaker 1: and not just important from the position he plays, important 246 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: from the fact that this offense of line was a 247 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: mess at that time, and Jason Garrett basically put his 248 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: hand down, put his fist down, and said, we've got 249 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: to rebuild this offensive line. We can't do anything we 250 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: can't protect Tony Romo. Doesn't matter what running back we 251 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: have if we can't protect the offensive line. And he 252 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: was the first building block of this offensive line. And 253 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: I could remember what the Cowboys were playing with back then, 254 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: at center and at guard and on running plays, running plays, 255 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: they were getting their guards and centers pushed back into 256 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: them two or three yards, not pass protection, running plays, right, 257 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, God blessed Phil Costa, you know, but you 258 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And they were they were bringing 259 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: remember they were bringing guys in and and then next 260 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: week another guy would start at guard and oh it 261 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: was a mess. And that's why they made a concertative 262 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: after him, Travis Frederick, after him, Zach Martin, And look 263 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: how that line flourished. Uh, you know, in the coming years, 264 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: took a chance on Mark Colombo coming back from his injuries, 265 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: and they had an offensive line, and that's why this 266 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: team's offense had success. It wasn't just the skilled players. 267 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: That offensive line caused this. And now you're sitting here going, oh, 268 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: you're gritting your teeth and we're gonna tease what they're 269 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: gonna do next. Mickey, let me clarify the Tyring was 270 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: the ninth nick that it was only one spot. Yeah, 271 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: he was alight, but I need to clarify further. JJ 272 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: Watt was not picked right after Tyring. He was picked eleventh. 273 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: There was one player picked in between Tyring Smith and 274 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: JJ Watt and Mickey, you should know who this player was. 275 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: At number ten in the draft that year in twenty eleven, 276 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: you got that quarterback, a quarterback from Missouri, Blaine gab Gabber. Yes, 277 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: so so I actually, okay, here's how about this. The 278 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: number seven pick in that draft was Aldon Smith to 279 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: San Francisco. The eighth pick was Jake Locker to Tennessee. 280 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: The ninth pick was Tyring Smith to Dallas. The tenth 281 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: pick was Blaine Gabber to Jacksonville. On the eleventh pick 282 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: was JJ Watt to Houston. So there you go. Blaine 283 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: still backing up somewhere, isn't he? It's something like that. 284 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: White quarterbacks. White quarterbacks are always backing up somebody, I'm sure. 285 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: And who was the number one clipboard somewhere? All right? 286 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: And the number one pick that year was Cam Newton 287 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: to the Carolina as bottled by von Miller to Denver, 288 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: Mark Selderis to Buffalo. AJ Green fourth to Cincinnati, Patrick 289 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: Peterson fifth to Arizona, Julio Jones sixth to Atlanta. Wow, 290 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: I want a draft that one? All right? We continue 291 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: with more mix shots in just a moment.

Yeah, or 340 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: at right at Dallas Cowboys do. Yeah, yeah, there you go. 341 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: All right. I never thought i'd missed the Jack Black 342 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: used by used by Jack Black this morning too, by 343 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: the way, all right, very good, All right, Mickey. What 344 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: else do you know injury wise for those big match 345 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: up with the Owen four Giants? Yeah, I don't know 346 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: if anything else really matters. It sounded like uh Dorence 347 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: Armstrong and uh Tyrone Crawford moved into a limited situation yesterday, 348 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: So it looks like Mike McCarthy said he felt good 349 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: about their potential to play on Sunday, So that's a 350 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: good thing. And then we'll see what happens to the 351 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: guys that are on injured reserve still but started their 352 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: twenty one day deal. It looks like Anthony Brown should 353 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: be ready to go on Sunday, which you'll give them 354 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: another starting quality cornerback. We'll see about cam Fleming, I 355 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: mean cam Irving. Cam Fleming will be starting for the Giants. 356 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: Cam Irving, I'm not sure how much he's been able 357 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: to do in practice. And they didn't have to give 358 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: injury reports on those guys since they're not on the 359 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: roster yet. So other than that DeMarcus Lawrence has practiced 360 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: both days. I know the knee still bothering him, but 361 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: at least he got out there in practice. So that's 362 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: a that's a really good sign. And they just gotta 363 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: kind of cross their fingers until next Sunday. Chitabewooz's eligible 364 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: to come off of injured reserve. Okay, let me throw 365 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: this out at you. What do you think, Jason Garrett, 366 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: the Giants offensive coordinator, what do you think his game 367 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: plan will be against this Cowboys defense? Run the ball. 368 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: I you know DeVante Freeman, he last week was kind 369 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: of a warm up game for him. They just signed him. 370 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: I bet they feed him and they're gonna see if 371 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have fixed their problems on that defensive front 372 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: to run the ball. So yeah, and I think if 373 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: they can do it a little bit, then he'll take 374 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: shots down the field, big shots down the field, because 375 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: those are to me, for a young quarterback, those are 376 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: the easiest balls to throw, right and if it goes 377 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: wrong and it's an interception, at least you've thrown at 378 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: thirty thirty yards, forty yards or whatever, and you know, 379 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: assuming you can make a tackle, it doesn't hurt you 380 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: that bad. The passes that rookies have trouble with is 381 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: throwing the ball over the middle where there's traffic, or 382 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: throwing that out quick enough and that you've got a 383 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: strong enough arm to throw a seventeen yard out. Those 384 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: are the problems rookie quarterbacks or young quarterbacks normally have. 385 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: So I think he follows that he'll use two tight ends. 386 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: If he's got a full bass and he does have 387 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: one Eli Penny, he's gonna come heavy and come at 388 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and and that would be a way for 389 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: him to shorten the game. Try to take time off 390 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: the clock so the Cowboys offense doesn't get on the field. Now, 391 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys are having problems with whatever they do 392 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: at the tackle position, he may want him on the 393 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: field because that might be the quickest way to shorten 394 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: the field for his offense is getting takeaways, which is 395 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: what Mike McCarthy I believe his three keys to the game. 396 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: Number one was you know, no more turnovers. Number two, uh, 397 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: make sure you're um strong against the run. And then 398 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: I think number three was make sure you're protecting the quarterback. 399 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: So if I had to do keys to the games, 400 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ut. I'm gonna take his word for 401 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: it and lost Everson. Let's sound you know, you know, Mickey, 402 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: I think the interesting thing is when you look at 403 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys first four games and the and the opponents 404 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: they went up against. The Rams ran a lot of 405 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: eleven personnel. Okay. I think if you go back and 406 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: look at it, at a roughly seventy five plays they 407 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: ran on offense, the Cowboys were in the nickel on 408 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: fifty five out of seventy five plays. Their nickel defense 409 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: Atlanta was the same percentage basically Seattle. Jordan Lewis got 410 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: over seventy snaps in that Seattle game. Seattle was almost 411 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 1: exclusively eleven personnel throughout that game. But then when you 412 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,479 Speaker 1: look at last week against Cleveland, the Browns ran a 413 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: lot of two tight end stuff. I think Jordan Lewis, 414 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me, but his 415 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: snap count was around twenty or so in that game, 416 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: which tells you right there that even without even looking 417 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: at the coaches film, you can tell that the Cowboys 418 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: were in their base defense a lot. And I think 419 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: that the Giants are going to go to school on 420 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: what the Browns did. So Mark Colombo, the offensive line coach, 421 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: is looking at how Bill Callahan did or what he 422 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: did with his offensive line against this Cowboys front. And 423 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: and so the Cowboys in their base defense have to 424 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: prove that they have adapted to this scheme and they 425 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: aren't square pegs being fit into round holes, so to speak. 426 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, Jordan Lewis had twenty two snaps twenty nine 427 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: percent of the plays. So yeah, you're exact. There you go, 428 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: and that's what Dad, that's what they're gonna do, And 429 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: you're right, and you know, and the Cowboys really hadn't 430 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: employed any sort of base defense, and we talked about 431 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: it going into the game. If they went to a 432 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: four to three, they don't have a legitimate strong side linebacker, 433 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: and they tried to do it with Dorence Armstrong and 434 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: Alden Smith. I'm not sure how well that worked out. 435 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: And then they also tried to change up and play 436 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: a three four, but again they don't have the defensive 437 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: ends as part of the three to play inside that 438 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: are big enough to hold down the fort in there. 439 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: They just don't have the personnel to do that. So 440 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if they change up on that 441 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: four to three if they have to go to it 442 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: and maybe maybe put Gifford out there. I don't know, 443 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: you don't try. I think so too different, right, You 444 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: can't keep doing the same thing and think you're going 445 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: to get different results. So yeah, I'd love to see 446 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: that and plus plus a four to three. Then you 447 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: can limit the number of snaps or you can get 448 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: don Terry Poe, Tristan Hill into the number of snaps 449 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: that they need to be heading in a game, which 450 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: is half of what they had against Cleveland last week. 451 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: And you know, I think Gifford would be would be 452 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: the option there as the sam linebacker in a four 453 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: three defense. Now, the big issue is he had really 454 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: hadn't played in an NFL game to speak up as 455 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: far as on defense goes. He's been special teams. But 456 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna be interesting to see what 457 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The other thing about it is obviously they 458 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: the run defense was horrible last week. DeMarcus Lawrence. I 459 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: think even though he's got limited snaps because he's dealing 460 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: with an injury, he is setting the edge better than 461 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: any of the other defensive ends all true, and he's 462 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: playing the run. You know, as you mentioned, means you're 463 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: playing the run, and he's even playing the run from 464 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: the back side, coming in to make sure there's not 465 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: that backcut. If the guy going to the Cowboys right 466 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: tries to come back left, they're coming right back into him. 467 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: So I know everybody looks at sacks, but you know 468 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: there's more to this game than sacks. And I think 469 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: sometimes I don't know if the guys start looking at 470 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: that type of stuff, all I gotta get sacks. I 471 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: gotta get sacked, because they know you get paid for sacks. Right, well, 472 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: you're not going to get a chance to rush the 473 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: quarterback if indeed you aren't stopping the run. And as 474 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, when I was telling you McCarthy's 475 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: three keys, the second one I missed it need to 476 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: apply pressure on the quarterback. And so you earn the 477 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: right to do that if you stop the run. If 478 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: you can't stop the run, Jason Garrett'll play action you 479 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: to death. I'll tell you what. I really enjoyed your preview. 480 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: It sounded just like Bill Belichick. You are amazing, sir. 481 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: Might be the greatest compliment I've ever had. Man, you 482 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: are amazing. No, But really, as we sit here, we 483 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: You know I always talk about TV pundits and radio pundits. Well, 484 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: here we are. You know, we sit here, we watched 485 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: the games. We try and come up with the best 486 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: ways for the Cowboys to win. All the Cowboys have 487 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: to remember is what happened last week? How good is 488 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: your memory? Because that's what the giants are gonna chat. 489 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: They're gonna see if you remember it or gotten any 490 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: Have you improved from last week? Did you get into 491 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: practice and did you remedieve the problem, because it's gonna 492 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: come at you again over and over. You're gonna see runs, 493 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna see reverses, You're gonna see reverse pass, You're 494 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: gonna see Golden Tate using all of his athletic ability. 495 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: They might I told you yesterday he might be in 496 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: the Wildcat. They're gonna do everything that they can do 497 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: to help help this team win because New York we 498 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: think we're having problems here. New York is off the 499 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: hook chain having problems. So we know that at this 500 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: point we have the advantage in regards to personnel, in 501 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: regards to even the injuries and talent. So what they're 502 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: gonna try and realize in New York is how can 503 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: we keep them off guard? How can we keep the 504 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: offense off the field. And they can only do that 505 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: by having that slow game plan that you talked about, 506 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: Spags running the ball, keeping the ball out of our hands. 507 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: It is just like trying to keep It's like trying 508 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 1: to keep a fast break team from fast breaking on 509 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: you all the time. Lay up after lay up. You're 510 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to do something to make them do it differently. 511 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: So that's what the Giants, that's the only hope. That's 512 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: the only hope at this point. And of course with 513 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: Taylon being out, they smell just a little bit of 514 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: fear from the Cowboys in regards to the doubt that 515 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: they might have in their game plan. Jeff A little bit, 516 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: all right.

You know, 568 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: we've seen what they've done previously without Leo Collins and 569 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith in the game. And I just lost my sound, 570 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: by the way, But anyway, they had lined up Brandon 571 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: Knight on the right on the left tackle, and then 572 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 1: Terrence Steele at right tackle. Now that didn't work out 573 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: so well the last time, and so uh, you know, 574 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: they ended up moving in Seattle game Zack Martin to 575 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: right tackle, but they move Looney to to guard. Well, 576 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: they don't have Looney to do that anymore and be 577 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: honest as the center. So I bet they're leaning somewhat 578 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 1: towards that. But if it's not Night left Steel right, 579 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: then there only other alternative at the right side to me, 580 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: Greg snot they just signed him off Cleveland's practice squad, 581 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: So at least he's been practicing, he's been working, he 582 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,760 Speaker 1: should be in somewhat shape if they consider that potential. Also, 583 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: Jordan Mills the veteran again, but you know, they picked 584 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: him upright at the beginning of the season, and so 585 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of shape he's in or 586 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: if he's ready to play. He was coming back from 587 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: a knee problem last year. He had knee surgery I 588 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: think at the end of the previous year. But he's 589 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: got the most experience of any of those guys, if 590 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 1: you know, if he can do something. So I'm not 591 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: sure that he's worked in as much, but it'll be 592 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: interesting to see where they go on the right side. 593 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: I just think that they're hesitant to put Zach Martin 594 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: out there. But as I said yesterday, you guys, this 595 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: is what it comes down to. Can Connor mcgovernn play 596 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: guard better than somebody can play right tackle, because if 597 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: he can, then you can move Zach out there if 598 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: you trust the guy in the middle. But you know 599 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: that if you get pressure up the middle, that that 600 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: that's curtains right. The quarterback should be able to see 601 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: what's coming from the right side, and you should be 602 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: able to game plan that with a tight end. You 603 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: can't game plan a guard or if a center's having problems. 604 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not worried about Beadish, but I would 605 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: be worried about McGovern going there because he would be 606 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: the next guy. Hay hadn't played a snap in the NFL, 607 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: not on the offensive line, so that one would that 608 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: one would be kind of concerning. And I know everybody thinks, well, 609 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: just move him out there, Zack Martin, Well, okay, but 610 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: who's gonna play guard? And I think that's what it's 611 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: gonna come down to dealing with Zach Martin. Brandon Knight, 612 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,439 Speaker 1: I think has done okay. People have played with worse 613 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: at left tackled in Brandon Knight. The right Side's what 614 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: concerns me. We worry about the tackle when it comes 615 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: to the past. But if we want to control a 616 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: ball game, then we need to have our guards steady 617 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: in the middle because the running game is really what 618 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 1: makes this team win. So you're rights, Fags, we need 619 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: that goard position to be solid so that Zeke can 620 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: be the one that controls the pace of this ball game. 621 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: You know, and you look at the Giants deep end. 622 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: One thing that I had teased. Well, first off, Mickey 623 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: tell us about Marcus Henry as far as backup center 624 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: pass and the Cowboys do need a backup center. And 625 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody that you know, we've talked 626 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: about has really put their hand on the ball. You know, 627 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: everybody says, well, Connor McGovern's did it in college. Well 628 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: that was twenty seventeen. Okay, this is twenty twenty. I 629 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: don't know how much he's worked on that, and he 630 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: certainly hasn't done it in a game. Everybody says, well, 631 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: you know Connor Williams, you know he said he'd do it. Well, yeah, okay, 632 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: and maybe he's done it in practice. He hadn't done 633 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,800 Speaker 1: it in a game either, And now Cam Irving has, 634 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: but I don't know that he's ready to go. So 635 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: if that's the case, then you might have to sign 636 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: Marcus Henry off the practice squad for this game day. 637 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: The way they've done, you're allowed to do that with 638 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: two guys off the practice squad. I believe it's just two. 639 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: But at least during training camp he he you know, 640 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 1: he started off as the backup center until Beadist overtook him. 641 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: But he was getting snaps and he works with the 642 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: quarterbacks when they have their little quarterback school warm up 643 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 1: before the practice starts, so I would think he would 644 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: be the logical choice. And by the way, when McCarthy 645 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: mentioned the offensive line, and I don't know if he 646 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: meant to let this slip out or not, but he said, yeah, 647 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: because on the offensive line, we'll have eight or nine 648 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: guys and he threw nine in there. Normally, if you 649 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 1: if you keep those two extra offensive linemen and keep 650 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: eight active, you get forty eight on your roster. Now 651 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: he mentioned nine offensive linemen, so that means somebody else 652 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: would be coming off the field. But maybe that's how 653 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: much concerned they have at those tackle positions along with 654 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: backup center. And by the way, we just got four 655 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,720 Speaker 1: minutes left to the show. But if any thoughts about 656 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 1: Ronald Leary, who came in for a visit last month, 657 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: of possibly being an option as a guard, well you 658 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,919 Speaker 1: can forget about that. The reports now are that Ronald 659 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: Learry has decided to retire from football. That is breaking 660 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Goodime to know why they didn't sign him, right, 661 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: that's right, Just like Jered veld here, who is another 662 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: veteran guy that they had bag dug free bringing back Doree. 663 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: Maybe they can they can make a swap and get 664 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: Colombo back over here. Yeah, all right, let's make our picks, 665 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: our picks, and our picks to click on Sunday at 666 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: three twenty five, the game being called by Jim Nanson 667 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: Tony Romos. All right, ever, so you want to go first? 668 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: All right? My pick to click? Of course, I'm going 669 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys to win, as I do every week. 670 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna announce that every week as well. I'm looking 671 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: at the twenty eight to thirteen win by the Cowboys. 672 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys offense, you won't be looking for 673 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: the big numbers, but they won't need him. Running game 674 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: is gonna go well, but the passing game will be 675 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: anchored by Ceedee Lamb. Ceedee Lamb is gonna take this 676 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 1: Texas ou spirit. There you go into the next day, 677 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 1: he'll have a he'll have a Texas Oh you hangover. 678 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: But he's gonna be our guy, and they don't have 679 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: anyone they can guard him in the giant secondary, especially 680 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: guarding the slot receiver. They're gonna be using all the 681 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: best carterbacks up on our two outside receivers. Ceedee Lamb 682 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: is gonna feast on the inside. And any Texas fan 683 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 1: knows that this weekend a year ago, Ceedee Lamb is 684 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: the reason O you won over Texas last year. He 685 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: was the reason also Jalen Hurts Wash in the Heisman 686 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 1: contention last year. Every remarkable game this week. That's a 687 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 1: great pick. I'll give him three touchdowns this week, just 688 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: like he had against Texas last year. How about you, Becky, 689 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: I'm next? Yeah you go. Vicky. So I saw that 690 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: this game had a nine point spread. The Cowboys were 691 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: favored by nine, and I told someone I wouldn't bet 692 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:50,919 Speaker 1: that spread and take the Cowboys with your money. Okay, So, 693 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 1: although that probably means the Giants have to score in 694 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: ten points, you know I got the Cowboys out twenty 695 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:03,959 Speaker 1: six twenty. I think the Giants will finally break through 696 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: and score a touchdown or two. At might pick to 697 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: click just because of how I think. Maybe conservatively, the 698 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna have to play, and I would imagine 699 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: he comes back with a vengeance in this game. One 700 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,319 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. They're gonna have to lean on him in 701 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: this game to help out that offensive line. Using two 702 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: tight ends, maybe using a tight end as an h 703 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 1: back like a fullback. So let's go with Zeke and 704 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,280 Speaker 1: all he's got to do is hang onto the ball. 705 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: I like that. I like that, all right, And I'm 706 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: going with You know, last week the Giants were trailing 707 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: the Rams ten to nine with five minutes left of 708 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,879 Speaker 1: the game. That wound up losing seventeen to nine. How 709 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys do against the Rams out there? It was 710 00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: a twenty to seventeen game. I'm going a closer game then, well, 711 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe people do think it's going to 712 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: be a closer game, but I'm going I'm going seven, 713 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: and I'm going twenty four twenty three Cowboys win by 714 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,320 Speaker 1: one point. And you know who's going to be the 715 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: star of the game for the Cowboys, Xavier Woods. He's 716 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 1: gonna get to talk to the media again and he's 717 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: gonna talk about what great effort the team gave in 718 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: coming of the time. That's exactly right there, you go, 719 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: that's twenty three. Doesn't sound like a lot of confidence 720 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 1: in the Cowboys, all right, that doesn't. And and I'll okay, 721 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and pick Texas to be to you 722 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: also will you pick Missouri to bes. WHOA wait a minute, 723 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: and Bill, did you say you're picking Texas? Build that 724 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: answer make you go back to what I said about 725 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 1: betting on the Cowboys. I wouldn't bet on Missouri with 726 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: your money. All right? That does it? In Grambling, will 727 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 1: beat Prairie View in the spring in April, I promise 728 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 1: when the flower was bloomed, and the flower is bloomed 729 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: and we have the Great State Fair of Texas in April. 730 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: All right, that does it for mixed shots.
