Well, the NFL's kind of loosely 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.440 sending out stuff to keep everybody interested as kind of 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.040 a ramp up to so we do know when Mike 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:58.320 McCarthy is headed head back to bayin Bay. November thirteenth, 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:07.320 three we five PM had lambeau Field and I wrote, 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.560 it's gonna be a crap show, I wrote today, I 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.600 wrote today. You think when he last he said I 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.959 shall return. Yeah, I mean, couldn't you imagine the memes 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.080 that are gonna be out there for him coming back 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:24.079 looking like he's Mike McCarthy. Way, yeah, Napoleon coming back 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:29.320 to town. George Washington crossing over. Where is the lake 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.519 out there? What is what is the lake Lambo? Lake Lambo? 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:44.560 Is that now? It's lake area like Michigan. Oh man, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.440 he'd be like Green Bay borders one of the great lakes. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.120 I don't know if it's right. It's Lake Lambo's close. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.399 There you go, all right, I mean there's a bay 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.200 there because it's Green Bay. There, you go there, you go. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.720 I've had my feet in that bay before, believe it 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.760 or not, because I did a parade up there or something. 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.440 A parade. Yes, we were in a parade, me and 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.480 a bunch of other old veterans. This was twenty years ago, 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.320 so I was still in old former veteran and a 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.120 former player, and we went to some parade and we 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.920 were I don't know where this town was, but the 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.680 water was so clear. I don't know what what town 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.520 it was around Green Bay. And we had a little 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.640 parade and we were in the sports bus signing all 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.760 the graphs, and when we had a break, they had 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.720 a little doc there. I put my feet in the 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.680 water and it looked like I was in Jamaica. It 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.880 was that clear. It was not in Lake Michigan. I 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.320 don't know where it was. Someone told me where it 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.360 was before. I forgot that twenty years after that. So 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.840 now it's it's got some really nice if you go 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.560 up there to the it's a beautiful it's beautiful up 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.960 in there and the Michigan area to have a spot 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.240 there where people can sunbathe and actually swim in the water. 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.040 One of my best friends I grew up with his 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.600 parents had a cottage north of Green Bay. It was one. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.520 It was on a river, and it was just gorgeous. Yes, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.880 except the time I wasn't dreaming, except the time we 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.360 went up there to go skiing in the Upper Peninsula 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.760 of Michigan. And uh we woke up that morning and 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:25.559 it was forty below not wind chill, forty below right, 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.160 and we were like, no, we can't do this. So 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.120 we were going to leave and head back south and 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.480 find a different place. We couldn't get the car started 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.960 because the oil was too thick. Come on, that's too much. Okay, 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.840 that's too much. So that's thanks. That's Green Bay. And 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:46.880 then went off southwest. Right, Bill, that's exactly right. Okay, 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.760 all right, Well let's go and enough story time in 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.560 Green Bay. We can save that for a week ten 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.760 of the season. I was going to ask him if 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.719 he ever played a memorable game in Green Bay. I 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.000 played walking, but it was not. Nothing memorable was eighty four? 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.239 We were horrible. They were horrible. Okay, But you played 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:10.440 in Milwaukee, Uh, No, eighty nine, Maybe it was ninety 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.360 And definitely in ninety nine, Cowboys played in Milwaukee at 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.720 County Stadium, where the side teams were on the same sideline, yeah, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.919 eighty nine, because you would remember Milwaukee because the benches 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.680 were all on the same side. It was like the 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.640 old Minnesota Stadium, right Baseball Park. So all right, So 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.320 you know, one of the interesting things when you look 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:36.040 at the schedule leaks, which some of these I think 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:41.280 are probably right on um. For instance, the it's reported 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.320 out there that Cincinnati might be coming here on Thanksgiving 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.680 and that Tampa might be in the month of November. 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.960 In Green Bay. It's already out there. It's in November. 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.840 The d I was thinking, you know, it seems like 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.400 every year the month of November. And it's not just 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.200 because the Cowboys have the Thursday game in November, where 0:05:59.920 --> 0:06:02.920 you're have a packed in schedule where you're going to 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.040 play three games in however many days and that sort 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.120 of thing, but it's it always seems like the schedule 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.960 is a little tougher in that stretch of the season. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.720 It is. And you know why that is because they 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.640 compress the games. No, it is not because I'm not 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.360 talking about because of the calendar. I'm talking about the opposition. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.320 The reason is November is a ratings month for the 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.120 TV and TV ratings month for the TV networks, and 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.960 when you see the networks, they're picking, Okay, I want 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.320 that game for sure, and they're gonna put that game 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.440 for sure in November when the it's a key TV 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.440 ratings month. And so the Cowboys being America's team, they 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:50.120 get they're one of the top picks obviously for the 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:54.360 TV networks. And so you're going to have more often 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.240 than not, the Cowboys having a tougher opposition, a tougher 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.800 schedule opposition wise in November then other months, so the 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.880 season are like last year when it was Kansas City 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:10.080 on Sunday, Vegas on Thanksgiving, New Orleans the following usually 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.480 you got pills the Philadelphia game or early in November 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.360 also when and so so anyway, when I see these 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.960 schedule leaks and I'm seeing, okay, it looks like Green, well, 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.760 for sure, we know we know that the Green. And 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.680 then if if Tampa Bay in Cincinnati or in the 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.120 month of November, well that's the reason why, because TV 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.800 networks want those matchups in that month. Yeah, somebody say, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.160 how how does this stuff get out? I said, the 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.800 US Supreme Court can't keep us secret. Do you think 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:43.440 the NFL can? Goodness, but this kind of You know, 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.000 it doesn't explain it because we can see it happening. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.840 Cowboys always start off fast, I mean in the not 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.239 so good years, and we end up kind of starting 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.680 a bit towards the end of the season. That's not 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.880 just because the competition is good, but it's the scheduling 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.680 as well. So you have to put all that together 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:03.880 and we have to be ready for that as a team. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.160 We have to practice in that manner. We have to 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.720 plan in that manner. Our game plan has to be 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.239 called in that manner. I think that's why we're holding 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.560 back on our best plays, you know, waiting. You know, 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.720 we're gonna wait till we have to play these important games, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.520 wait till the playoffs. We're gonna save all these goods. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.640 Get the other steps. Yeah, we didn't do that. I mean, 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.840 well it never came out. So this year when it 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.040 comes to and we already knew this, right because we 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:36.319 know who opponent's plan, right, the Cowboys and Washington are 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:41.360 tied for the weakest strength of schedule this year. Weakest 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:46.120 the teams their plan have a four sixty two winning percentage. 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.720 And tell me who the third weakest. In the fourth 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.120 weeks started the Giants and the Eagles. Now, why do 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.200 you think this is? Because they play each other and 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.600 their records were so bad and I saw that as 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.480 you go out though, Well no, no, that's my point. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:09.680 So it's offset by they have to play five games 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:17.400 against seven of the other division winners, right, so it 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:22.480 doesn't got to play both teams from the Super Bowl. Um, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:29.679 you got to play the Super Bowl champions and so yeah, 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:35.000 and I figured out eight games against teams that were 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:40.480 had winning records, eight games too, you know Philadelphia barely right, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.960 nine and eight. And then they play three of the 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.840 top five teams that had winning records in I mean, 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.760 the best records in the league. But the other problem 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.880 is they also have to play four of the five 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.560 worst teams in the league. Because of the schedule. They 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.319 got to play Detroit three, thirteen and one. They played 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.120 two games against the Giants four and thirteen. They play 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:14.880 Houston four and thirteen and Jacksonville three. We play Houston, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.600 Jacksonville and Detroit. Yes, we got the NFC North and 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:25.720 the AFC South, right, and so by the rotation, just 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:30.440 because they've got to play the corresponding teams that finished 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:36.440 first in the divisions, that they're not playing Green Bay 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:41.320 in the Rams. It didn't equal. It didn't be Tampa 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.320 Bay in the RAM. I mean Tampa Bay. Yeah, it's like, 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:49.800 oh so it's it's not as easy as it looks. 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.679 And then the crossover. The seventeenth game is against Cincinnati, right, 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:59.240 so and they were only ten and seven. Yeah, all right. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.679 And just as a matter of review, just as we 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.200 lead up, this is our pregame show for the sketch 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.400 place the opponents that we know in the home and 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.920 away the away outside of the NFC East teams, the 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:17.959 away games for the Cowboys are at Tennessee, at Jacksonville, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:24.240 at the Rams, at Minnesota, and at Green Bay. So 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.840 those are your five road games. Think about that. At Tennessee, 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.760 at Jacksonville, at the Rams, at the Vikings, at the Packers. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:39.439 What do you hope to go? I mean there's only 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.840 one that you say, well, okay, Jacksonville, right, and that 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:49.160 sounds like it might be the opener. Um, Jacksonville is 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:50.360 the open and you want to get off to a 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:55.800 good start in Jacksonville. I'm not saying it is. I'm 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.839 just saying, hey, man, let's take a road trip for 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.200 that one. Just the three of us man. We go 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.679 there and we just take our shirts off and you 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.640 want to drive, you want to drive, kind of be 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.280 up there and see will be no one up there 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.600 in the top tier of the stands. We opened at 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.640 Tampa last year, whynot at Jacksonville this year? Go back 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:17.360 to Florida. UM home games, Okay, So, but playing at Tennessee, 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:23.120 at the Rams, at the Packers, and at Minnesota. We'll see, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.880 which is never easy for the Cowboys. So you hope 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:32.719 three and two out of that. Yeah, you'd pay for that. Okay. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:45.480 Home games, Okay, home games Tampa Bay, Detroit, Chicago, Houston, Cincinnati, Indianapolis. 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.440 You probably would have liked that reversed, right, Go to 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:56.000 those Go to those teams because you know, although I 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.600 don't know about home field advantage anymore, I'm running through 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.199 them again. You got Indianapolis in Houston, you got Cincinnati, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.040 you got Tampa Bay, Detroit, and Chicago. I think the 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.960 Colts game is gonna be a tough game taking place. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:13.600 The Colts game is gonna be a tough game. Yeah. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.040 A lot of people think the Colts now with Matt 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.600 Ryan at quarterback there, that the Colts are a sleeper 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.800 team this year. Well with their running game. They make 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.199 a lot of noise when they were talking about their 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:30.719 running game. So we'll see, we'll see. So what is 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.880 what's when you? Okay, what are you looking for when 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:39.319 the schedule comes out? I first look for what's happening 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.200 on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? And we kind of 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.199 know Christmas Day games, we don't have to worry about that. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.840 But Christmas Eve, you want a home game against Philadelphia? 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.720 That would be fine, Okay, care of who it is. Okay, 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.120 you want to you want a noon game, Um, that 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.000 would be even better. I think you're gonna get a 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.719 three twenty five, probably that for your own comfort. Yes, yeah, 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.439 he asked me what I was looking Look, I'm thinking 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.920 you're thinking for the Cowboys interest of this team. They 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:13.880 paid the check is shot? That was gonna say, I mean, 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.480 and then I look at what's that on your check? 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.400 Then I look at I look at what's at Thanksgiving, 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.720 and what's immediately before and immediately and then here in 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:32.280 recent years, immediately after has been another Thursday Thursday night game, 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.640 and that probably will happen again because they have probably 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.640 want them on Amazon Prime. You would think, now, ok yeah, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.520 because it's you actually would want that because otherwise, if 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.960 you if they're going to be on Amazon Prime at 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.400 another juncture during the season, it's going to screw up 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.760 another week because it makes a short week. Yeah, that 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.640 means you got too short unless you had that scheduled 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.360 after the bye. But the problem is you don't get 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.360 a break after your short week. You got to play 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.720 again before or you get the buy. And then I 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:07.560 look for if there's any uh, like three consecutive road 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.400 games and where because if you got to go coast 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.360 to coast a couple and that's happened before. So those 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.960 are the things that you normally first looked. Well, I'm 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.880 starting to look at things differently because now I don't 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.560 know if you've heard the promos, but you know the 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:29.400 Star Tours. Well that's right, that's right. Good about that? 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:34.200 Well we did it. We did it on Christmas Day 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:39.560 last year. See, I look at Christmas Day kind of 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:45.000 ends at noon. Basically Christmas Eve is different to me 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:51.160 anyway from a traditional stand I remember when they played 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.400 away games on Christmas Day, both times in in Phoenix 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:59.880 in Arizona, and it's like I am not waking up 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.760 a hotel room Christmas morning, right, so I flew on 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:09.680 my own, uh Christmas Day because they were night night 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.360 games in Arizona, and with the time difference, you could 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.600 leave at three, you get there at three, and I 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.200 took the red eye back. I only missed one meal. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.000 Let me tell you how big high school football is 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.440 here in Texas. For those of you who don't live 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.400 in Texas, this is how big high school football is 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.440 here during the pandemic year twenty twenty. Normally, the high 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.480 school football season ends the weekend before Christmas. It's a 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.600 sixth if you go all the way to's ridiculous way, 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.840 which ulous it's a you know, they can't figure out 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.360 how and these these poor college kids you can't have. 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.880 You can't have playoffs, you can't play that many games. 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.600 But in Texas high school, if you win the state, 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.040 if you play in a state championship game, you're playing 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.480 a sixteen game schedule and that doesn't count the two scrimmages. 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.000 You head back at August, try to go to school. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.679 But during the pandemic, okay, the schedule got all pushed 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.679 back and so the actually the state championship games were 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.000 played in January, so it came down to Christmas weekend 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.840 in Christmas. I guess fell on a Friday that year, 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:20.440 two years ago, And they actually played high school football 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:25.520 playoff games at eight o'clock on Christmas Eve night here 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.400 at over in All, and everyone was in their houses 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.239 watching the game, or they were at they were at 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.360 the stadium, right. Yeah, that's how big high school football 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.760 is here. So so any complaints mickey about Cowboys playing 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.480 at three twenty five on Christmas Eve, you don't want 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:42.920 to hear about it. Yeah, And by the way, there's 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.040 a difference, you know, you Caucajun people, you know, y'all, 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:51.920 y'all have done at noon. We drag ours out Christmas Day. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.440 I go home like two in the morning to twenty six. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.920 That's how we do it. That's the way you ought 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.000 to do it. Yeah, what it should be done. Well, 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.600 I can't wait to see it. By the way, So 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.000 this is one other the big days of the year 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:11.440 for you. One other, one other, Yes, it is one other. Note. 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:18.520 Teams with the hardest schedules like that had the hardest 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:26.240 schedule from twenty sixteen. On twenty sixteen, the forty nine 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:29.439 ers and the Falcons tied for the worst record the 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:35.119 year before forty nine Ers. No, I'm sorry, Yeah, they 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.840 had the hardest schedules the year before, forty nine Ers. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.280 The next year in twenty sixteen, went two and fourteen. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:48.199 Falcons ended up losing the Super Bowl. In twenty seventeen, 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:52.159 the Broncos went five and eleven. In twenty eighteen, the 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.159 Packers went sixty nine and one. In twenty nineteen, the 0:18:56.280 --> 0:19:00.520 Raiders went seven and nine, the Patriots in twenty twenty 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.760 went seven and nine, and then in twenty twenty one, 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.720 the Steelers lost the wild card game to Candas. So 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:10.399 those the teams that had the best record, the hardest, 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.920 hardest schedules get coming into that season, right, They were gaps, 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.440 which doesn't relate it all to the Cowboys this year. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.640 So tell us tell us the one with the easiest, 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.880 because the Cowboys supposedly have the easiest schedule. So check 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:27.080 this out. Twenty sixteen Packers ten and six lost the NFC. 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:32.719 Up you go. Twenty seventeen Colts went four and twelve, 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.080 so they must have been really bad. Twenty eighteen, the 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:40.200 Texans went eleven and five and lost the wild card. 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:44.920 Kay works twenty nineteen and Washington went three and thirteen 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:49.679 and missed the playoffs, and they weren't and they weren't 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:54.560 that good in twenty eighteen, by the way, so uh 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.159 where am I at? Twenty twenty the Ravens win eleven 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:02.920 and five, and and in twenty twenty one the Eagles 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.639 went nine to eight. So the majority of the teams 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:11.240 that had the easiest schedule ended up, especially in even 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.600 number of years like this year, playoff games and even 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:19.520 number Yeah, I didn't think about there. But the problem 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.360 with that for the Cowboys is Washington also has the 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:26.000 easiest schedule, so that could apply to Washington. Maybe they'll tie, right, 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:30.520 all right, that's a little preview of the NFL schedule. 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.040 We got something else to preview when we come back 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.960 here on mix shots, because how many preview there are 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:41.199 rookies in the house as of today here at the 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.879 Star in Frisco.

Did I not get post out? Very well? 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.119 It was. You came out of the blocks a little 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.440 shaky there, but yeah, you made up for it there. 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:23.440 Little sprinted to the finish kicked in gear little potentially 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.760 those last twenty yards. All right, us, I guess what's 0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:31.719 going through the minds of the rookies that are headed 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:35.680 to the Star in Frisco today, Everson? As a rookie, 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:40.240 You're you're arriving on campus for the first time at 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:44.159 an NFL training site. What's going through your mind as 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.840 a rookie? I was. I was pissed, first of all, 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:52.359 because you weren't drafting. Yes, I'm very upset. Driving up there, 0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:54.119 I was very upset. Of course, I came from my 0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:56.159 mom's house, so I just had to drive up the 0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.840 street in my little Mustage seventy two. By the way, 0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:01.240 you didn't have to ride You didn't ride your bike. No, 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.520 that would have center back holding up center block holding 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:05.439 up the back of my front seat. So as I'm 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:08.000 driving up there, I'm thinking to myself, I got to 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:09.639 see what these guys look like. I just want to 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.520 see my fellow dbs and see what they look like. Man, 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:14.960 I was so upset. I was so upset. So the 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:19.280 first drill and this was good back Forrest Lane. Yes, yeah, 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.560 we weren't even in the Valley ranch yet. No, nor 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:24.920 how many had drive round the street those two miles, 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:30.000 how many many? How many undrafted rookies were at that 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.840 new think if you had to ask, we had twenty 0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.960 five rookie dbs, So I would imagine twenty five just 0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:40.040 a DBS. Yes, yes, so I'd imagine you had twenty undrafted. 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:44.920 Vince Skillings was drafting the third round. Uh, I can't 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:46.600 even I think it may have been twenty three of 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.560 us were undrafted. I mean but at that time they 0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.280 didn't have any any cornerbacks, you know how that was well, no, 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:54.600 you weren't really hit bill, No, but but they had 0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:57.919 drafted something they didn't really pan up. The first draft 0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:02.400 choice was a third round and that was Vince Skillings 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:06.239 from Ohio State, the first corner cornerback. Yeah, but he 0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:09.480 was the first draft pick for the Cowboys. They didn't 0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.160 have a first and second round pick. No, I thought 0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:15.399 Howard Richards was I'm sorry, I'm thinking the first defense 0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:19.280 yeah yeah, yeah, and Vince Skillings was the first one. 0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:22.880 He was sixth round? Was he six or sixth round? Yea? 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:27.920 So wait wait, that was the first defensive back. Vince 0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:32.640 Skillings dB Ohio State, sixth round So yeah, Vin Fellows 0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:35.919 and Ken Miller. Ron Fellows was seventh round A and 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:39.080 B and Ken Miller. So Vince Skillings did not make 0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:42.600 the team. Fellows obviously did make the team. Ken Miller 0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:44.640 did not make the team. He was out of Eastern 0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:48.200 Michigan and that was it as far as dbs he had. 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:51.880 So he had three dbs drafted in that draft. Did 0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:55.040 they tell us they listed Fellows as a dB, Yes, 0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:58.080 they did, because he was a wide receiver at Missouri. No, 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:01.040 he came in straight up dB. He did not do 0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:06.640 run one pass pattern running backwards. He got there. So yeah, 0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:11.000 three draft picks dbs and it could be there. They 0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:14.239 were all corners, yes, okay. And then there were so 0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:18.200 there were twenty two others undrafted, Yes, that including Michael 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:21.440 Downs there you go, who also was a could have 0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:27.800 rode his bike so practice the cotton, yeah, but no, 0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:32.880 not not to the North Side Park. Okay. So if 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:37.080 you if you included all the other positions they brought in, 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:42.520 like fifty undrafted free agents, it was a hundred and 0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:48.520 twenty five rookies in camp a training camp or camp 0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:53.000 in the spring right after rookie we had a hundred 0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:55.280 and twenty five rookies. I don't know what made it 0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:58.960 to camp once upon a time. You know, they used 0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:02.600 to have the rookies out two thousand Oaks around July fourth. 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.520 We came early, yeah, two weeks early. Basically beat up 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:08.600 on each other before the veteran Yeah. So when we 0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:10.520 came to the rookie camp though, that was still it 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:15.680 was at val Forest Lane first. You know, Tony Hill 0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:18.000 was the only veteran that showed up, and he was 0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:19.360 just trying to get loose, you know. I just wanted 0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:20.600 to kind of get loose, you know, because he had 0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:22.159 the weight problem. He always had a problem with his 0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.480 waight in the off season. So when I see Tony 0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:26.639 Hill there, I get fired up. Man, my hair start 0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:28.880 stand up, like man, let me you know, I'm still 0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:31.000 I'm alway pissed off. I gotta come up here and 0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:34.639 deal with this free agency crap. I just got eleven 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:35.920 in the section. So now I got up here and 0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:38.199 showed some more stuff. So I jump up here on 0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:40.960 Tony Hill, and boy, that's when we first got to 0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:44.200 know each other. He shook me down real good. He 0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:46.520 shook me down real good because I lined up on him. 0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:48.200 He's like, nah, man, I just want to get some 0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:51.240 some work. I'm like, nah, man, you, Tony Hill, you're 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:53.840 the best. I want to be the best. He's like rookie. 0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.119 He didn't even know of course, Like I want to 0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:57.399 be the best. He's like, no, man, you need to 0:27:57.400 --> 0:27:59.639 back up. Like nah, man, I was on him right, 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.040 but he shook me down. I was broke my ankle. 0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:07.560 So a most twenty five dbs. Okay, that we're in 0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:10.600 that rookie camp, who would you say had the a 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:16.399 personality in the room. No, No, it was not me. No, 0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:18.320 I wasn't there yet. I wasn't there. Yea, all my 0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:20.560 anger was inside Okay, Yeah, as I got older, I 0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:23.600 let it outa My anger was getting down off in here. 0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:26.440 That's why. Well, I mean, but got into it. Yeah, 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:30.000 you're getting into it with Tony Hill. Yeah, I'm thinking 0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.760 when when you one guy in that room who knew 0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:39.200 he was gonna make this team, Vince Killings. Really yeah, okay, 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:43.920 he was wrong. I was wrong. So yeah, so you 0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:45.960 didn't know you were gonna make the team. You were 0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:48.040 just bound in determining your well, I was bound and 0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:50.040 determined about who we knew was gonna make the team 0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:54.520 right away. First drill Michael Downs. I mean when he 0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:57.320 lined up it's like this guy's from Rice University. I 0:28:57.360 --> 0:28:59.760 mean his arms were like this long. He was lining 0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:02.480 up wide receivers. When you get a guy jamming, you 0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:06.000 were arms this long. The receivers were like they were 0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:08.880 whipped before the ball was snapped. And he was the 0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:14.640 guy you could tell the guy every time. All right. 0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:16.760 So there was a wide receiver taken in the second 0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:21.000 round of that draft, Doug Donald. Doug Donald, dude. So 0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:23.200 when you lined up against Doug Donald, I wanted to 0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.200 tear him up. No a matter of fact, we went 0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.680 at it all off season. Uh. It was actually illustrated. 0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:34.240 Uh and one article about me and Doug and the 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:39.280 struggles that we had, and they they they had an 0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:44.440 article just a little depiction about how our one matchup 0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.760 went on that particular day and it was very content, 0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:50.240 hot and contested. It was just a curve out. But 0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:52.280 I mean he and I were going at it like 0:29:52.280 --> 0:29:55.160 like that was the only bone in the yard. We 0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:56.880 were a couple of pit bulls or something. TI we 0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:01.240 know that when it called dougla Doug my dude. Man, 0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.320 that was my dude. So how many was it twelve 0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:06.720 rounds that year? Twelve rounds? Okay, they had seventeen was 0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:11.960 back rookies. So did when they signed you, like did Gil? 0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:15.840 I don't know who signed you. I think it was Jeff. 0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:18.160 I think came out okay because a lot of times 0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:20.760 Gil would go tell the guy, yeah, you're you're our 0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.920 top guy at that position, top the guild on the phone, 0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:25.880 and they would tell you you were to get top 0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:28.040 guy at the position then that they'd bring in twenty 0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:30.240 more at the same Now, now that's what they told 0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:32.840 my strong safety of Grambling. His name was Robert Salter, 0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:36.000 and Robert Salter got here and he saw all those rookies. 0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.480 He shut it down. No, he shut it down. He 0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:44.040 did not participate in any drill. So that's how disheartened 0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.920 it was. You know, you can tell somebody something, they 0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:50.160 believe you, they trust you, right, So this guy's trusting 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:52.400 Gil bred that he told him the truth. And I 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:54.440 don't know why we call them honeybad. I don't know 0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:57.680 why honeyball I thought that. But once he came too camp, 0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:02.520 he never participated in one drill. You you're like, you 0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:04.000 do your drill, you go to the back of the 0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:06.560 line and you're like, hey, man, go ahead. He's like, nah, man, 0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:09.160 you go ahead. He told everybody to go ahead. He 0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:13.840 never participated in one drill. Drew. Drew told me when 0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:17.800 they signed him, uh, that they were he was the 0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.600 top wide receiver they were signing. Then he got here 0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:24.440 and there were twenty twenty five more wide receivers. The 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.480 only time I talked with Gil, I got fifteen hundred 0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.480 dollars signing balls. I tried to get on the phone 0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.480 to give him up into two thousand. That was it. 0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.720 Then he's like, nah, did you got what you got? 0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:36.920 That was it. That was my only conversation that I 0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:40.080 had with Gil over the phone at glamblet So. In 0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:42.800 that nineteen eighty one draft, there were fourteen draft picks 0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:45.560 and only six of the draft picks made the team. 0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:47.800 Six out of the point. It was his fault. Yeah, 0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:53.240 Michael down Man, Michael, Mike mess it up, scraddling and 0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:56.600 how man interceptions. You have your rookie year from where 0:31:56.640 --> 0:32:00.680 they were in the postseason, post season through the postseason 0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:05.640 sixty it was thirteen. I always want to count the preseason. 0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:11.640 Two preseason games are extremely important for rookies. Yeah, day 0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:15.280 I mean and undrafted. I mean, when these guys are 0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:18.080 done with their little deal. They come out for one series, 0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:22.600 and man, it was intense the fourth quarter. No one's 0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:26.640 watching but the guys that need it. It's extremely intense. 0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.320 I can't get beat. I gotta do everything right, you know, 0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:31.520 because Gene Stalin is waiting over there with the dog 0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:35.920 OneD hatchet way to cut and so thirteen picks regular 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.680 season and postseason for the undrafted rookie in nineteen eighty one. 0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:45.520 So he obviously convinced this organization that that cornerback position 0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:49.120 was no longer a need, right, No, nineteen eighty two 0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:55.600 first round draft pick Rod Hill cornerback. Why were they 0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:58.920 so thirsty for see? They thought I made it look easy, Stags, 0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:02.440 so we just get it look easy. It must be easy. Ever, 0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:05.160 so Wallas could do it. He just came from Gramley. 0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:07.240 Where is that gambling? I don't even know where that is. 0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.880 They took another quarterback in the fourth round, somebody named 0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.760 Brian Carpenter out of Michigan. That he didn't the next year, 0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:14.600 he didn't even know. He didn't make the team either. 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:16.960 So you just think about they for some reason. I 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:19.560 don't think Gill believed in what he was doing. You 0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.760 didn't believe himself. You keep you keep trying to make 0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:24.280 up for the two free ages that you signed. We're 0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:27.080 up are setting the dog on League on five. Mike's 0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:30.480 got seven picks in nineteen eighty one, ain't got I 0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:32.720 don't know how many tackles over one hundred plus. Look 0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:37.360 who they played in the preseason. Yeah, green Bay was first, 0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:41.200 was it really? Yeah? Home game, We're gonna check him. 0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:45.800 We're gonna check him. So home game, Yeah, home game, yep, 0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.200 green Bay. That's why Mike, Mike blotted the punk, I 0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:53.160 got the touchdown. This stuff, man, I don't forget this stuff. 0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:59.600 This is very calculating. I mean we first road game first, 0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:01.800 all game had to be in LA. It was yeah, 0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:07.120 that's right. Yeah, and then Pittsburgh and Houston, Pittsburgh and Houston. 0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:11.040 There you go, and that's a trip down memory games. 0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:15.000 All right? Present day rookies. Uh, you know we just 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:18.240 saw something there from the NFL network. They're talking about this, Uh, 0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:22.279 the New York Giants draft Cavon Thibodeau and Evan Neil 0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:26.919 draft picks. Go ahead, all right, and what do you say, Mickey? 0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:30.120 I said, I don't trust guys. It's from Oregon, especially 0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:33.840 defensive guys. All right, So unless their name mel, unless 0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:38.600 their name mel. Okay, all right, So so you're not 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.080 convinced Cavon Thibodeau is gonna make it. Well, I don't know. 0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:43.279 I've never seen him play, or if I have, I 0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:45.520 didn't know it was him talk a lot. All right, 0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:50.000 but you're you're not sold on Oregon players, right? All right? 0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:55.120 Go ahead? No, okay, I can't, I can't. I justin Herbert. 0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.960 Herbert was pretty darn good, are you? And and you 0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:02.400 had a question about quarterbacks dot or cornerback, quarter quarterback, 0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.640 signal callers. There was somebody else, yeah, Marcus Mariota. Yeah, 0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:10.719 every Okay, there's the other quarterback there. All right, let's 0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:17.239 see other Oregon players. What uh penasul first round pick 0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:22.120 last year the Lions. Okay, they like him. Uh, where's 0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:26.279 some other DeForest Buckner? There's one for you. Okay. He 0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:32.560 was good, still is too. He's pretty good. Yeah, he's 0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:36.800 pretty good. He's one of the reasons that the Cults 0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:40.520 are a sleeper team this year. Okay, all right, Uh, 0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:44.319 you got a list of the guys. I got the 0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:47.840 whole list. I got every every NFL player from Oregon. 0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:51.920 What about the ones that Cowboys drafted. I see that's 0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:56.439 what he That's it all comes back, isn't that where 0:35:56.480 --> 0:36:01.560 Mitchell was from? Yes, that's right, cornerback. You know what, 0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:06.440 he's still playing Terrence Mitchell. And but Cowboys traded him 0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:09.000 away Kansas City. Then he wound up in Cleveland and 0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:13.000 he's put together a nice little career. Terrence Mitchell. He 0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:15.960 was a guy though that I thought maybe Everson was 0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:19.520 like him. Yeah, because he shows up rookie and he 0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:23.879 had he training camp. He had a cockiness about him 0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:27.799 as he when he training camp, training camp, and the 0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:31.399 defensive back coach was trying to explain something to him 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:35.239 and what to do with technique, and the guy who 0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:38.000 was like a was he like six seventh round, I 0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:40.640 don't remember. He was like yeah, it was late and 0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:43.960 he listened and I'm standing right there on the sideline 0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:46.480 and he goes, well, coach, this is the way I 0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:50.360 like to do it. And I'm going okay, bad answer. 0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:54.759 And he turned out to be real good eventually, but 0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:59.080 not with the Cowboys seventh round pick in twenty fourteen. 0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:03.640 And yeah, he was a he's practice squadter his first 0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:06.520 year in twenty fourteen, and he was on the Ruck 0:37:06.600 --> 0:37:09.120 and then he went to the Bears, came back to 0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:12.000 the Cowboys in twenty fifteen, and then he ended and 0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:19.000 then he Houston and then Kansas City, Cleveland, Houston. Now 0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:21.719 now he's with New England, New England. Was there a 0:37:21.760 --> 0:37:23.920 line here we are eight years later and he's still 0:37:24.200 --> 0:37:26.920 still playing Yeah, yeah, well I mean jes because he's 0:37:26.920 --> 0:37:30.560 still playing linebacker. Was there a linebacker the Cowboys drafted 0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:37.200 from Oregon? Linebacker? Oh? Back in the eighties, right for 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.960 the Cowboys for more? Well, it should be on your list. Well, no, 0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:44.560 these loads are current players. Oh oh yeah? Who was 0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:46.399 it from? You can look it up. It was Mike Walter. 0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:49.640 Mike Walter. Yeah, second round pick in nineteen eighty three. 0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:55.360 There was another one, or maybe maybe there was exactly 0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:58.319 built he was. He was a good looking kid, defensive end. 0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:01.640 Maybe I'm trying to for somebody they were real high 0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:05.560 on and never panned out.

They're 0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:30.640 actually going to be on the practice field on Friday 0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:34.160 and Saturday. We'll actually have an opportunity to take a 0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:36.960 look for the first time. Now they may not be 0:41:37.080 --> 0:41:39.879 doing a whole lot on that practice field, but we'll 0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:44.880 actually be able to Used to the last couple of years, 0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:49.440 they scaled it down because this is an orientation program, right, 0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:53.080 because they realized that these guys, especially the guys that 0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:56.960 were like draft choices, they were all doing getting ready 0:41:56.960 --> 0:41:59.600 for the draft, right, getting ready for the combine. And 0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:03.480 they came out here and none of them were in 0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.840 really good shape because they were just practicing their forty 0:42:06.920 --> 0:42:09.359 times and how high they could jump and how high 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:11.960 they could leap and or how far they could leave. 0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:13.960 If you want to get in shape of basketball, I'm 0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:18.520 sorry football. You play basketball. You played basketball, right, gets 0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:22.800 you if you just think about you, you a football 0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:25.040 player doing football workouts and you put them in a 0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.920 basketball game, he won't make it. I mean they used 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:30.319 to come out here. They would come out here with 0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:34.000 their helmets on, and and you know when, I mean, 0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:36.560 they were like you right. They showed up and it's like, 0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:38.000 well I got to show them what I can do 0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:40.360 and that, you know, the contact, and they were getting 0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:45.840 more muscle aches and pains. And I remember Patrick Crayton's 0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:50.520 rookie year mini camp and he shows up. Parcels is 0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:54.440 here and the first day I was like, well, this 0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:58.319 guy's pretty good. The second day he's not moving very well. 0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:03.000 Well he velop I believe it was plantar fasciitis. I 0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:07.879 remember that right. And and the next day he's out 0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:11.120 there trying to and it's like I remember telling him, I, 0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:13.520 so what are you doing? I said, I heard you 0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:15.960 had this and he goes, yeah, he goes, but you 0:43:15.960 --> 0:43:18.640 think I'm gonna let Bill Parcels think I can't do this, 0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:22.759 and he pushed through it, and then it was you know, 0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:26.799 he had to basically suck it up and rehab so 0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:29.680 he'd be ready for training camp. But he knew coming 0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:34.319 from what was it, Northeastern Oklahoma, some double you can't 0:43:34.320 --> 0:43:37.239 be hurt when you come from Northeast double double, directional 0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:44.640 central M on the end of the yeah, Northeastern Oklahoma 0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:49.840 State A and M. Yeah, and he made it school 0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:56.560 of Technology. Yeah, okay, So I've got one for you, 0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:58.920 all right. It's a sleeper. Okay, that's what I want 0:43:58.920 --> 0:44:00.759 to hear. I want to hear a sleep. So and 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:04.040 it's only on a tryout basis. Oh, I don't like 0:44:04.120 --> 0:44:08.040 that part of it. The guy's name is Simon Mathieson. 0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:13.799 Simon Mathison. He's a kicker. Oh yeah, that sounds like 0:44:13.800 --> 0:44:17.920 a kicker's name. Now wait yeah, and talking about I 0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:24.880 thought you were going to talk now wait talking about directional. 0:44:26.640 --> 0:44:31.360 They don't have a kicker. So there'll be three of 0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:35.600 them here, right, Simon Mathieson, how do you go ahead 0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.520 and look it up? Looking at I E S E 0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:43.400 N I. Oh wait Mathieson M A T H I 0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:46.840 E s O N s E N S E N. Okay, 0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:48.680 I got it right here, you can read it. Okay, 0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:52.839 I'm looking him up. He's from Northwestern State. He's from 0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:58.200 Northwest Missouri State, A and M Technology. Now wait, he 0:44:58.640 --> 0:45:05.359 his last year there, I was twenty sixteen. Whoa, and 0:45:05.760 --> 0:45:10.080 he has not been in an NFL camp since, but 0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:17.600 he went to He's from Denmark, Denmark, that's right. And 0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:24.080 then he came it's probably Simone Simone, not Simon uh 0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:33.239 any any right, he actually hooked up with uh um 0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:40.319 oh shoot Beggen No, no, wow, Martin Anderson. Oh, there 0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:43.480 you go. Because he's from He's a David kicker, right, 0:45:44.040 --> 0:45:46.480 Martin was big at him. But he didn't get drafted, 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:51.440 he didn't get invited to a camp. But he started 0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:55.920 working for a company called track Man, and they are 0:45:56.040 --> 0:45:59.800 the company director of operations and sales for track Man, 0:46:00.600 --> 0:46:04.120 And that's the company that came up with the tracking 0:46:04.160 --> 0:46:06.960 the golf shots. You know how you see on TV 0:46:07.040 --> 0:46:09.600 and they know, you know, you see the laser thing 0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:13.600 or whatever. Well, they developed a football program for kickers 0:46:14.280 --> 0:46:21.480 to judge their leg strength, leg speed, the lift on 0:46:21.520 --> 0:46:25.400 the ball, and how far the ball would have gone. 0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:30.240 On a field goal right, and NBC brought it into 0:46:30.400 --> 0:46:34.280 their Sunday night football broadcast and for the first time 0:46:34.320 --> 0:46:37.880 they used it at the Super Bowl this year. And 0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:41.040 he was the guy that would go to the stadiums 0:46:41.040 --> 0:46:44.680 and set up the tracking devices and to make sure 0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:47.799 it was working. He would kick and people saw him 0:46:47.880 --> 0:46:51.359 kick and they're going, well, why aren't you kicking? You're 0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:54.560 an awfully good kicker. So the Cowboys, I guess, heard 0:46:54.600 --> 0:46:58.760 about it and Baltimore was going to bring it into 0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:03.080 their system and you to judge kickers, and he's going 0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:07.240 to get a tryout. Wow about that. The only kickers 0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:09.520 can be that old and still come back twenty eight 0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:13.720 or something. Well, that's the old. No, it's actually pretty young. 0:47:14.239 --> 0:47:17.040 So it's an interesting story. I don't know if the 0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:19.120 guy can still kick. But he was pretty good at 0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:25.080 Northwest Missouri State. He kicked. He kicked for there. In 0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:29.360 his four years there, they won three Division two championships. Okay, 0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:32.080 and do you have anything to do with that? I 0:47:32.080 --> 0:47:37.759 don't know if he had any winning kicks. He showed up. 0:47:37.800 --> 0:47:41.239 He showed up as a walk on wide receiver in 0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:43.920 the middle of his freshman year. You know, he was 0:47:43.960 --> 0:47:48.200 a soccer player at soccer player in Denmark, and they 0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:52.040 saw him messing around kicking, and halfway through the season 0:47:52.120 --> 0:47:55.040 they were going into a game and I think the 0:47:55.200 --> 0:47:57.200 kicker got hurt and the coach went up to him 0:47:57.200 --> 0:48:01.520 and said you're up, and handed up his freshman year, 0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:06.320 making ten of ten. I've heard stranger stories, so stranger 0:48:06.400 --> 0:48:09.960 success stories hopefully. So it'll be interesting to see him kick. 0:48:10.120 --> 0:48:13.480 Okay'll be looking forward to that those preseason games that 0:48:13.480 --> 0:48:15.880 we'll find out about that if he makes, going to 0:48:15.920 --> 0:48:17.759 be featured. If he makes, let's go out of the 0:48:17.760 --> 0:48:21.160 sideline now and Mickey Spagnola, we'll tell the story of 0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:25.319 some old mouthless and it'll be the bell and it'll 0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:29.080 be the best story you get to you, by the way, 0:48:29.320 --> 0:48:31.239 all right, if they would ever come to me on 0:48:31.280 --> 0:48:36.120 the sideline. Yeah, that's right. Um, that's another story. Are 0:48:36.160 --> 0:48:38.360 you working the sidelines for you? No? I used to 0:48:38.360 --> 0:48:48.799 be like, wow, they're really kind of digging them all right. 0:48:48.840 --> 0:48:50.799 Ever since I got a cornerback for you that would 0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:54.800 be the draft pick out of Fresno State, Duran Bland. Okay, 0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:59.080 you need to check out Duran Duran Bland. That's cool. 0:48:59.120 --> 0:49:01.120 I like some of the video of him. Yeah you can. 0:49:01.320 --> 0:49:03.520 You can either come to the practice or you just 0:49:04.239 --> 0:49:09.279 pull him up. Yeah. Yeah, I have to say. Uh, 0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:16.239 this young man Marquis Bell mm hmm oh, okay, is 0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:18.920 he good? Oh well, we haven't seen him yet, but 0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:21.600 I've heard about him. I know the Cowboys like him. Well, 0:49:21.680 --> 0:49:24.880 he was a draftable guy. My college roommate, that's his 0:49:25.040 --> 0:49:28.440 that's his nephew. Really yeah, and that they told me 0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:30.560 to look out for him. You send me his phone up, 0:49:30.640 --> 0:49:36.120 the running back Marquise Bell, safety safety. Okay, yeah, so 0:49:36.360 --> 0:49:38.200 I hadn't called him. I gotta call this guy and 0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:41.040 let him know he's got some some I checked him out. 0:49:41.080 --> 0:49:42.840 I don't have my big green notebook. Why is he 0:49:42.880 --> 0:49:45.200 not in your big Oh no, I don't have I 0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:51.440 didn't bring my note book draft. I liked him, Um, 0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:54.520 you know, he had a little demonte Casey in him. 0:49:55.040 --> 0:49:58.600 He played uh Florida and Hill I think, Okay, I 0:49:58.680 --> 0:50:01.560 really yeah, they just gay. I just heard this, Okay, 0:50:01.600 --> 0:50:04.280 I just got this information. So I'm gonna be calling 0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:08.000 them in and invited them over and making sure. Yeah, 0:50:08.120 --> 0:50:13.759 Famu and utter watch out. Nate might have beat you too. 0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:17.360 That's right. That's Marquis spell. And it's spelled m A 0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:21.600 r k q u E s E Marquise spell. And 0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:25.399 I know that Cowboys brought it never could spell well. 0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:28.960 So Mike's my roommates spelled it way wrong. You got 0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:31.080 a whole another way. I'm glad how you spelled again, 0:50:31.400 --> 0:50:37.200 m A r k q U E s not spell ahead. Yeah. 0:50:37.360 --> 0:50:43.480 What was your roommate's name, Mike Hanes, Oh not? I say, 0:50:43.680 --> 0:50:45.719 wait a minute, I got to say that all the time. 0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:51.440 Mike Hayes his name, that's his son, it's his nephew, nephew, nephew. Uh, 0:50:51.520 --> 0:50:54.440 he's got a great shot. I mean, when you you 0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:58.000 think about it, Cowboys have not replaced Demante Casey and 0:50:58.360 --> 0:51:02.400 either as a with a draft or in free agency, 0:51:03.000 --> 0:51:06.520 and he started fourteen games last year. So I mean 0:51:06.520 --> 0:51:09.759 there's an opportunity for a safety, an undrafted guy in 0:51:09.800 --> 0:51:12.680 the in the Cowboys of a history not just Michael Downs, 0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:16.600 but more recent history of safeties making the roster because 0:51:16.680 --> 0:51:18.640 they don't want to spend a lot of money on safety, 0:51:18.760 --> 0:51:21.520 so they're always looking for somebody well, and in general 0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:25.000 in the NFL, safeties don't quarters. You'll have thirty five 0:51:25.040 --> 0:51:28.200 corners drafted a year, but you'll have twelve safeties. And 0:51:28.280 --> 0:51:31.600 that's funny because the safety to me is much more important, 0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:33.680 you know, when you think of the importance of it. 0:51:33.760 --> 0:51:37.120 Was like we talked about the Michael downs Woodson. Just 0:51:37.239 --> 0:51:40.720 being able to survey the field in the proper manner, 0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:45.359 you saved so many touchdowns and create you create opportunities 0:51:45.400 --> 0:51:47.640 for other players to make plays. So to me, that 0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:51.200 safety position is they're very underrated. I don't understand why 0:51:51.239 --> 0:51:54.640 they look at it that way. That's good. That's why 0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:58.479 Tyler Matthew was signing free agencies all over the place. 0:51:59.120 --> 0:52:01.719 He's always gonna have team, got signed by the same 0:52:02.560 --> 0:52:05.880 you see'll see what happens after the draft when guys 0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:09.479 look up and they go, I don't have a job. Yeah, 0:52:09.480 --> 0:52:11.520 we got a few of them right here, you know, 0:52:11.640 --> 0:52:14.239 and it's like, Okay, Sandry still has no job. I'll 0:52:14.239 --> 0:52:16.879 sign a one year still does not have a job. 0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:20.160 Now you got Bradberry out there, yeah yeah. And then 0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:22.960 Cowboys gave him a little extra money signing bonus Marquise 0:52:23.000 --> 0:52:27.840 Bell too, so he was a priority free agent. Signing 0:52:28.239 --> 0:52:31.680 another safety, undrafted guy one Yea Thomas out of Georgia 0:52:31.719 --> 0:52:36.360 Tech is another guy that they signed after the Actually 0:52:36.400 --> 0:52:41.160 sometimes that money is their guarantee for the practice squad. 0:52:41.760 --> 0:52:45.200 He's got and they gave him that moment and he's 0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:50.399 got reportedly two hundred guaranteed two hundred thousand guarantee. They 0:52:50.480 --> 0:52:54.000 got money just for wait, say that again, practice Like 0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:56.800 if you don't make the team, yeah, but you're guaranteed 0:52:56.840 --> 0:53:00.320 to make the practice squad, okay, and then whatever because 0:53:00.320 --> 0:53:05.120 they get paid now, Like how much a week it's 0:53:05.160 --> 0:53:07.960 going up? It used to be like seven thousand a 0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:10.319 week or something like that, and I think it's gone 0:53:10.360 --> 0:53:12.960 up to and like thirteen. Oh my god, dude, this 0:53:13.040 --> 0:53:18.239 is so that's so unfair. Multiply seventeen times? Man, can 0:53:18.239 --> 0:53:20.040 we do that? Like go back and sue for more 0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:23.279 money is the other way to do that? Um, but 0:53:23.760 --> 0:53:29.279 it's uh back to um back pay. That's yeah, well 0:53:29.320 --> 0:53:34.840 some back pay go ahead. The obviously the wide receiver 0:53:35.000 --> 0:53:38.120 third round wide receivers are going to be to see him. 0:53:38.160 --> 0:53:41.239 I mean, and because of the position he plays, we 0:53:41.320 --> 0:53:46.839 can act South Alabama. Yep, he's and he's got to play. 0:53:47.040 --> 0:53:49.960 They always have some talent coming ont of South Alabama. 0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:53.520 He's got to play immediately right, I would think. So 0:53:53.600 --> 0:53:56.239 he needs to be ready. I mean he needs to 0:53:56.280 --> 0:54:02.720 be able to beat out Um Noah Brown because Michael 0:54:02.719 --> 0:54:05.960 ga Gall gonna be us not playing the first month 0:54:06.040 --> 0:54:09.359 month of the season, and and who knows how well 0:54:09.400 --> 0:54:12.480 he plays when he gets back. Okay, how much he 0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:15.280 can play. And obviously the first round draft picked Tyler Smith. 0:54:15.320 --> 0:54:20.719 He's got to play immediately, right, Okay? Starting guard? Oh? Yes, 0:54:21.440 --> 0:54:25.600 what st what guards? Starting guard? First round? Yeah? Wow, 0:54:26.239 --> 0:54:29.880 we picked the guard. No, you picked we picked the guard. 0:54:30.080 --> 0:54:33.839 You picked the pick the guard and exactly what I 0:54:33.880 --> 0:54:40.719 told you. He's wait, he's not a guard, is not 0:54:40.800 --> 0:54:44.640 a guard, has got a G on his shirt for guard. 0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:47.879 Come on, man, he's a guard. Come on man, he's 0:54:47.920 --> 0:54:49.800 never played you know, first of all, I need to 0:54:49.800 --> 0:54:57.120 get a lot more credit. Hush, he's a tackle. They're 0:54:57.160 --> 0:55:00.239 hoping he can transition right now, Yes he is. No 0:55:00.920 --> 0:55:04.439 do what what did you just say he was? I said, 0:55:04.480 --> 0:55:06.400 he did? You going to start it guard? What did 0:55:06.400 --> 0:55:09.640 you say, started guard? Believe Bill, Mike? You said starting 0:55:09.680 --> 0:55:13.640 what guard? Okay? Man, the head the head coach said 0:55:13.840 --> 0:55:15.879 he was a left See that's why he didn't want 0:55:15.920 --> 0:55:21.680 me on want doesn't want the coach said he he 0:55:21.800 --> 0:55:26.400 was a left offensive lineman. Yeah, he's a left sider, 0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:29.959 left off place the left side. He's big enough, he 0:55:30.040 --> 0:55:32.960 plays both positions. They don't even they can line up 0:55:33.000 --> 0:55:35.919 someone else somewhere else because he's so big, he's so good. 0:55:35.920 --> 0:55:39.480 He's gonna takes one question. Yes, where is he going 0:55:39.520 --> 0:55:47.319 to play? First? Probably tackle? That's because tire is not 0:55:47.360 --> 0:55:50.200 going to be out there. I told you if okay, 0:55:50.239 --> 0:55:53.200 if they took an offensive lineman in the first it 0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.920 has to be a tackle that can play guard. Rookie 0:55:56.120 --> 0:55:59.320 rookie camp. Where is he lining up tomorrow? Rookie camp? 0:55:59.480 --> 0:56:03.200 Because is obviously not out there. Where is Tyler Smith 0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:06.839 gonna line up? Who knows how many tackles and how 0:56:06.840 --> 0:56:09.480 many guards do they have? Yeah, if if you're going 0:56:09.520 --> 0:56:13.319 to talk about rookie camp, he would line up at tackle. Okay, Yeah, 0:56:13.320 --> 0:56:15.160 he would line up a tackle because you don't have 0:56:15.239 --> 0:56:17.880 any other I mean you tackle, look as a tackle, 0:56:17.960 --> 0:56:21.839 you don't have enough guys to play well those who, well, 0:56:22.480 --> 0:56:25.400 Josh Ball would qualify. He'll be Josh Ball. He'll be 0:56:25.440 --> 0:56:27.279 at this camp. He'll be a tackle. And so he'll 0:56:27.280 --> 0:56:30.319 be a tackle. And let me what side, what side. 0:56:30.400 --> 0:56:33.080 Is he playing right? Well, he's been playing right. But 0:56:33.440 --> 0:56:38.359 then well let's well let's go. Then, well let's go. 0:56:38.440 --> 0:56:41.720 He's a tackle. He's a tackle. So there's two tackles 0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:46.040 that you got there. You ain't got any guards. Got 0:56:47.080 --> 0:56:52.800 you got Isaac Allercombe, the international player. He's a Guarday 0:56:53.320 --> 0:56:57.640 you got he was listening? You mean the hispanic dude 0:56:57.680 --> 0:57:01.080 from Massa. Yeah he's still here. Yeah, yeah, but he's 0:57:01.080 --> 0:57:03.279 a free He got a tackle from A and M 0:57:03.320 --> 0:57:07.400 commerce are non Simon. Now, he was listed as a 0:57:07.400 --> 0:57:09.000 tackle when they signed him. I don't know if he 0:57:09.080 --> 0:57:10.960 is a tackle. But it's not like they're gonna play 0:57:10.960 --> 0:57:14.080 football out I know. But this gives us a clue 0:57:14.560 --> 0:57:17.360 where they're gonna be up. Are they going to train 0:57:17.480 --> 0:57:19.320 him as a tackle. I'm not gonna see a why 0:57:19.440 --> 0:57:22.480 receiver that's snapping the ball just because it's rookie camp. 0:57:22.840 --> 0:57:26.280 Come on, man, I still I still carry my victory flag. 0:57:26.320 --> 0:57:31.880 I'm sorry. I bet I was right. I was the 0:57:32.000 --> 0:57:42.120 kicker yea Commerce all right, I was right, man, that's 0:57:42.200 --> 0:57:44.760 oh my god, after all these experts, I was right. 0:57:44.840 --> 0:57:47.920 I was correct. Okay, how about the second round draft pick, 0:57:49.960 --> 0:57:52.080 the edge rusher from Ole Miss. Let me see it 0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:58.479 says G T Yeah, but G first, G first, that's right, 0:57:58.560 --> 0:58:00.800 and it's not because it was an out alphabetical who 0:58:00.880 --> 0:58:06.960 else second round draft pick will Miss? Is it Sam? Sam? Sam? 0:58:06.960 --> 0:58:09.520 The man? We heard that he wants to be called 0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:16.320 D D D E defensive end. Really d Williams. Yeah, 0:58:16.360 --> 0:58:19.600 I saw that. I'll tell you what, what are you gonna? 0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:22.160 I was in he wants to be a D D 0:58:22.280 --> 0:58:24.160 is That was just saying, no, that's what he is. 0:58:23.920 --> 0:58:26.439 He thought he was. I thought he was a linebacker. No, no, 0:58:27.440 --> 0:58:30.080 he was. He played and at Old Miss they played 0:58:30.080 --> 0:58:32.400 a three man front. He was basically a five technique 0:58:32.440 --> 0:58:36.040 defensive end. There he'll be in coming. So I was 0:58:36.080 --> 0:58:38.800 in Jackson, my guys that watched Old Miss all the time, 0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:40.960 and one of my friends was, I think he's a 0:58:41.000 --> 0:58:45.080 donor at Old Miss. Uh, they love They thought he 0:58:45.200 --> 0:58:50.640 was really good, uh and struggled against the run. Yeah, 0:58:50.680 --> 0:58:56.200 but uh, Old Mass single season sack records better than 0:58:56.280 --> 0:59:02.120 Randy Gregory. He's he's similar. I don't know if he's better. 0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:10.959 Go watch his film His First Step and and and 0:59:12.760 --> 0:59:16.880 I've noticed that Charles Haley been hanging around here a 0:59:16.920 --> 0:59:21.800 little bit lately. So he's gonna have some great mentor 0:59:21.920 --> 0:59:26.120 out there right for defensive end, pass rushing and Charles 0:59:27.200 --> 0:59:31.760 it'll be. It'll be. Neither did the rest of us, 0:59:33.480 --> 0:59:35.680 but they were, they were really high on this guy. 0:59:36.080 --> 0:59:42.760 So Um he went the junior college route. Um. He 0:59:42.920 --> 0:59:48.720 had a similar upbringing that Dez Bryant had. Um. I 0:59:48.760 --> 0:59:51.280 mean that was part of his bio in the draft 0:59:51.400 --> 0:59:59.440 up process. Removed from his mother and living with grandmother's aunts, 1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:06.680 legal guardian in high school. Um went to Northeast Mississippi 1:00:07.360 --> 1:00:12.120 Junior College I think it is, and then went to 1:00:12.160 --> 1:00:16.160 Old miss and made something out of himself. Good stuff, 1:00:17.000 --> 1:00:19.960 all right, anybody else you want to know about, Uh, 1:00:20.120 --> 1:00:22.080 there's all sorts of people. You're probably not going to 1:00:22.120 --> 1:00:26.080 see Daman Clark do too much, right since he had 1:00:26.400 --> 1:00:33.120 the vertebrae fusion surgery that they discovered at the combine, 1:00:34.000 --> 1:00:39.000 So he's probably still five months away. Tight End, the 1:00:39.080 --> 1:00:41.440 fourth round pick. The tight end needs to contribute to 1:00:42.000 --> 1:00:44.280 Jake Ferguson out of Wisconsin. He needs to be the 1:00:44.320 --> 1:00:51.120 second guy. You've got skills. Um, when you're talking Wisconsin, Wisconsin, 1:00:51.160 --> 1:00:53.960 you probably should block, right, Yeah, don't think that's what 1:00:54.000 --> 1:00:57.560 they need that second tight ends because they want to 1:00:57.640 --> 1:01:01.400 use two tight ends and they don't have two tight 1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:04.520 ends that can go out there and block, so we 1:01:04.640 --> 1:01:06.320 used to have one. All of a sudden, he chanted 1:01:06.400 --> 1:01:10.320 to a wide receiver. Yeah. So there are real opportunities 1:01:10.760 --> 1:01:13.440 for the first four picks in the draft, right, okay, 1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:18.160 And there's a real opportunity for uh fifth round pick 1:01:18.280 --> 1:01:23.160 John Ridgeway. Yes, Big John, Big John Ridgeway out of Arkansas. 1:01:23.200 --> 1:01:26.600 Figure if you're big John, what's his position? He's a 1:01:27.400 --> 1:01:33.120 nose tackle six five three twenty one, three years with 1:01:33.360 --> 1:01:38.280 good instruction at Illinois State, by the way, and then 1:01:38.320 --> 1:01:41.439 finished open and then in Arkansas. Wow, that's a path 1:01:43.720 --> 1:01:48.760 not uncommon these days. He went, He went, he was 1:01:48.920 --> 1:01:54.880 in Normal, Illinois. Normal, all right, Normal, that's the name 1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:59.640 of the city, Illinois, Illinois State. Not normal. Wow. All right. 1:02:00.080 --> 1:02:03.440 So that about wraps this thing up. Are the MAV's 1:02:03.440 --> 1:02:07.080 gonna win tonight? Yeah? Yeah, yes, okay, they're gonna figure 1:02:07.080 --> 1:02:11.040 out win tonight. You sounded very shaky. Yeah. I was 1:02:11.040 --> 1:02:14.280 gonna say they're gonna figure out. They're not playing pick 1:02:14.360 --> 1:02:18.280 up at the gym, like just dribble, dribble and moving man, 1:02:18.600 --> 1:02:20.880 keep the ball. What do you think got in their heads? 1:02:21.720 --> 1:02:24.360 You got Luca magic, you know? Yeah, well there was 1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:27.000 no magic. Yeah, it was like then the other guy. 1:02:27.080 --> 1:02:31.600 It's very enticing. It was like one possession shots and 1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:33.720 down to like three seconds left on the show. Yeah, 1:02:33.720 --> 1:02:35.120 and I was like, okay, now I got to hold 1:02:35.160 --> 1:02:39.040 something up. Hopefully they go home. And the same thing 1:02:39.080 --> 1:02:42.200 happened with the Stars on it. Yeah, what happened? What 1:02:42.360 --> 1:02:46.040 happened to the Stars last night? Because I left this 1:02:46.160 --> 1:02:48.880 TV station there was telling nothing going into the third 1:02:48.880 --> 1:02:51.640 I got home and they lost three to one. Don't 1:02:52.840 --> 1:02:57.280 don't be afraid to score two goals, okay, because they're 1:02:57.360 --> 1:02:59.560 leading one to nothing for two and a half and 1:02:59.560 --> 1:03:04.600 they assumed a defensive posture and you've got to be perfect, right, 1:03:04.800 --> 1:03:08.360 and they weren't perfect. They scored. This is the playoffs. Yeah, 1:03:08.400 --> 1:03:11.480 and then they scored again and then the last one 1:03:11.040 --> 1:03:14.840 open open nets goal. So they got to win on Friday. 1:03:14.880 --> 1:03:17.760 So both teams got to win Thursday and Friday. Bringing 1:03:17.760 --> 1:03:20.320 it back to the Cowboys, this is the first time 1:03:20.440 --> 1:03:25.800 in fourteen years that the Cowboys, Mavericks, and Stars are 1:03:25.840 --> 1:03:28.600 playing playoff games in the same calendar year in the 1:03:28.640 --> 1:03:31.880 same season years yea, since two thousand and eight, the 1:03:31.920 --> 1:03:34.680 two thousand and seven season for the Cowboys. Okay, now 1:03:34.720 --> 1:03:36.640 look up when the Rangers were part of it, and 1:03:36.800 --> 1:03:42.360 there it has never happened where he's it's never happened 1:03:42.560 --> 1:03:48.320 where the Rangers, Cowboys, Stars, and Mavericks have played playoff 1:03:48.400 --> 1:03:52.960 games in the same calendar year ninety six. Nope, but 1:03:53.360 --> 1:03:56.360 one of them didn't. Mavericks were horrible. Then, oh they were? Yeah, 1:03:56.400 --> 1:04:00.520 that's Raggiata Bottom. Oh yeah, yeah, Quinn Buckner. I was 1:04:00.560 --> 1:04:02.360 trying to think.
