So it 44 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: was a failure to communicate. That was, for the minute, 45 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: one of the second to last day of the year 46 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: and one of the best days of the year for 47 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. He couldn't hear the media. Yet I think 48 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: he liked it like that. Yeah, I think I did too. 49 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: That's right, Mickey just alluded to it. Ever, cent are 50 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: you aware when the college football playoff games are this year? 51 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: That's the what de sympathetic first, right, That's right? That 52 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: would be tomorrow at AT and T Stadium. We've got 53 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: Alabama versus Cincinnati and the Orange Bowl. The night game 54 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: at six thirty is Georgia and Michigan. I gotta say 55 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: I'm a little uh, I'm a little disappointed. I was 56 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: kind of busy yesterday. I did not get to see 57 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma game. Bill, I don't think you missed anything. 58 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: When did the final story? It was forty seven to 59 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: thirty two. Okay, they were reverted back the two they 60 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: reverted back to the old defense in the it was 61 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: like thirty to three. It's backups them back, that's right back. Ye. Well, 62 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: so it was almost like a microcosm here. It was 63 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: a microcosm of his time at Oklahoma. You know, in 64 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: his second year there, they won a national championship and 65 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: they played great defense. Royal Williams leading the charge beat 66 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: Florida State in the National championship game. Really was a shutout. 67 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: It was thirteen to two. They took a late safety, 68 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: and so they played great defense. In the first half 69 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: of last night's game, they were up thirty to three 70 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: and in the second half. It was like the last 71 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: decade of Bob Stoop's football at Oklahoma after he let 72 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: Bret Brett Venables go to Clemson, and Clemson became a 73 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: great defensive team. I wonder if they hadn't been an 74 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: interesting stat um if they're in the if they're in 75 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: the Hut for the National Championship, they are like oh 76 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: and three, oh and four. But when you're just talking 77 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: about nine, I guess non tournament bowl games, right, they've 78 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: been yeah, yeah, yeah. Early on in his time there, 79 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: he was known as Big Game Bob and uh and 80 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: the only bowl games that he won after after winning 81 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: that national championship, when the games that didn't matter, the 82 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: exhibition games, I wonder are off Enables. I wonder if 83 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: Nables in the second half said, okay, here, I got this, Okay, 84 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: but you take over the Apenable's old Clemson team plays 85 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: a pretty good defense. Yesterday I was pretty good game too. Yeah. 86 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: So I gotta say the worst Oklahoma loss for me 87 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: was Boyse State. Yeah. Oh yeah. Statue They had the 88 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: statue of liberty in a freaking in the proposal after 89 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: the game. That's right, Yeah, And that was actually it 90 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: was no, I was gonna say that was actually before 91 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore was the quarter Kellen Moore became the quarterback 92 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: there right after that, right after that one got put 93 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: Boise on the map. It was a Fiesta Bowl game, 94 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: and you know, as an Oklahoma fan, as one of 95 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: those you roll your eyes out because because there were 96 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: opt outs on the OU team. Okay, have your fun 97 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: at our expense. But that's a memorable game. Here we 98 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: are fifteen sixteen years later. Yeah, they went for That's 99 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: why I was hoping last night that Stoops would call 100 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: a statue of liberty at a lateral fake field goal. 101 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's that's that's what I wanted to 102 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: go tell Army. By the way, in the Military Bowl, Yeah, 103 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: Missouri was without seven starters, a bunch on the offensive 104 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: line well and both running backs. And we're getting to 105 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: get to Cowboys. But one that's we do have a 106 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: national semifinal at the stadium tomorrow. So one more little 107 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: comment on this college football playoff. No reason at the top, Everson, 108 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: I asked you when are the games? I don't know 109 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: that a lot of people know when these games are. 110 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: And that's this, more than any other reason, is thirty 111 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: you gotta go to an at least an eight team 112 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: college football playoff because for the last month, nobody's been 113 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: talking about this college football playoff. Unless your team is 114 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: involved in it, nobody cares until they kick off and 115 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: then and then they have it on New Year's Eve. 116 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: What you know, I thought they got horrible TV ratings 117 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve. Well maybe that's why the second 118 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: game starts at six thirty. Get to their party or yea, yeah, 119 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: all right, let's go. Uhh. When we walked in here, 120 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: the practice report, the pool report was hot off the presses. 121 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: So let me catch you up on the Cowboys practice today. 122 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: They were in shells outdoors helmets. One guy was missing 123 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: from practice, Quentin Bohanna. Only guy on the active rosser 124 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: was not participating in practice. We haven't heard yet why, 125 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: so we can assume one of two things. Either he 126 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 1: had an illness, he had a virus, or maybe three things, 127 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: or he had a real injury. Right. Uh, so we'll 128 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: see where that one goes. But Tristan Hill, good thing 129 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: is back practicing, so the defensive tackle position will at 130 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: least have like three or four guys that can play 131 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: in there since they lost Hamilton. Did you know that 132 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: Justin Hamilton got signed off the practice squad? Okay? Oh? Man, yeah, 133 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: so uh and they liked him. I mean they elevated 134 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: him several times, right to help out and he did 135 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: all right. Oh Denver, Denver, Denver, Okay. Yeah. This is 136 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: when teams that you know are looking to next year 137 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: raid in people's practice squads, say they can't do anything 138 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: this year and Denver, yeah, right, And that's why Kamara 139 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: wound up with the Carolina that picked him up a 140 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: week or so. Yes, it was, That's why I was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 141 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: this is the time you poach, you know, And and 142 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were trying to get him to the practice 143 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: squad and it didn't have And I knew as soon 144 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: as they released him that he wasn't going to get 145 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: And when they poached him, there was three games left 146 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: and you have to keep him on the fifty three 147 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: for three games. So basically when the season ends, they'll 148 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: still have his rights and they can claim him as 149 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: an exclusive rights free agents. So yeah, they can't get 150 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: him back. Okay. So also Tony Pollard, Ezekiel, Elliott, Dak Prescott, 151 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: they all spent time on the chords as they have 152 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: been for the last couple of weeks with Britt Brown. 153 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: All three guys yesterday that were limited, Tyrann Smith, Malik Turner, 154 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: and Marcus Lawrence were in practice and Jordan Lewis, who 155 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: was on reserve COVID nineteen, was at practice and he 156 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: was activated off the reserve list, so that bodes well 157 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: for him being available for the game. And I saw 158 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: one interesting note and I'm trying to see where I 159 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: wrote it down. It was on the practice report for yesterday. 160 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: And oh, for the Arizona Cardinals, on their practice report yesterday, 161 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: they had nine guys that didn't practice, including, uh, they're 162 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: starting safety, but Bubba Baker Baker, Bubba the d's look 163 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: like the right. I know, I know they're they're running back. 164 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: James Conner did not practice. What's going on with him? 165 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: That's that's legitimate. He's a Pro Bowler as a heel problem. 166 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: Tell many touchdowns he's got this year? Yeah, like seventeen 167 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: fourteen fourteen rushing touchdowns and two receiving touch That's why 168 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: he made the Pro Bowl. And yeah, because his yards 169 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: he's only at seven hundred yards in averaging under four 170 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: yards to carry. Zeke's gonna end up rushing for a 171 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 1: thousand and you know what he's got. He's got ten 172 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns. I think he's got I just looked it 173 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: up because he's got two receiving touchdowns. Yeah, but the 174 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl voting takes place in November, so yeah, that's 175 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: the fan voting. I'm I know you're being facetious. I'll 176 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: help you out there. Where's my totals? I want to 177 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: say ze Zeke was at I guess you know Connor. 178 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: I think Connor is one of those guys. I think 179 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: I've mentioned this earlier in the year about just if 180 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: this story is amazing, and I think that's why he 181 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: got some so many votes. So Zeke has ten rushing 182 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns, so he's got twelve and 183 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: he's at eight hundred and ninety nine yards rushing. It's 184 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to be a pretty damn good year considering, right, 185 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: And he's averaging over four yards of carryall, he's over 186 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: four yards of carry. I remember they were dogging him 187 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: about how he has no births, he can't get anything done. 188 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean if that's turned out to be a pretty 189 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: good average as well. And Connor's average was three point 190 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: seven by the way, uh, Zeke is at four point three, 191 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: so yeah, that's that average is fine. Four point three. Yeah, absolutely. 192 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: And the other thing on the Arizona Cardinals, they're leading 193 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: sacker or leader in sacks, however you want to put it. 194 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: Marcus Golden is on COVID reserve as of yesterday, so 195 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: we'll see if he gets back. He leads the team 196 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: with eleven sacks, nineteen quarterback hits, and a kind of 197 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: defensive ends you get out of the University of Missouria 198 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: try and I think he went on I think it 199 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: was Monday, that golden win was tested positive. It was 200 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: in the paper on the twenty eighth. Yeah, so that's Tuesday, Monday, 201 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven, So he's got a shot at getting back 202 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: for Sunday then with the new rules, Yeah, absolutely, But 203 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just interesting looking at Area Zona 204 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: and how their season has taken a u turn from 205 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: where it was after seven games, going from seven to 206 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: OZ until now they're ten and five. So they're three 207 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: and five their last eight games. They're almost the opposite 208 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: of what we were talking about Miami, which lost their 209 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: first seven. These guys won their first seven and then 210 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: three and five. But I think three of those eight 211 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: games Kyler Murray was out. Yeah, but they won two 212 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: of those and they've got McCoy as a backup, so well, 213 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: maybe they need to start colting. And so I've just 214 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: been looking at them trying to figure out, Okay, where 215 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: have things gone haywire for them? And of course Everson. 216 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: One of the big things is the loss of DeAndre Hopkins. 217 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: When you lose a weapon like that, it's going to 218 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: affect things offensively and just let you know how important 219 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: here to that team, because once they lost them, they 220 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: have not been the same team and it's been a 221 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: domino effect like anything else. They can't score, so therefore 222 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: the more pressure on the defense. And this defense was 223 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: highly touted early in the season until the offensive weapons 224 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: started to to to go away, and so yeah, they're looking. 225 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: You know, everyone has the same excuses all year long. 226 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: We have all hit that personnel shortage. You know, we've 227 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: all had that come down the pike on in every organization, 228 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: and so this one makes me nervous. I want to 229 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: know what the players are doing to really just stay 230 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: out of COVID's way, you know, because you can go 231 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: home to your family, but it's different when you go 232 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: home to your family. Now, let's say you got kids 233 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: in school, right kids come home? I mean, what are 234 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: we doing? Are we isolated for my kids? You know, 235 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: as players, because right now this is the most important 236 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: part of the season, and I just want to know 237 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: do players and families are they chaking extra precautions and 238 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: how is that a affecting the family live because you know, 239 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: we talked about spreading COVID and how important it is 240 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: right now for people to be ready to play ball 241 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: going down to the playoffs. You don't want to be 242 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: that guy that gets COVID at the wrong time, especially 243 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: you're a quarterback of a start players. Yeah, this stuff here, man, 244 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: it's pass what you're doing on the field. This is 245 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: way going. This is going way part this is going 246 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: put towards what you're doing off the field. And these 247 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: guys are you know, losing some prescious time, uh doing 248 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: a pressure time of the season. That's why I said 249 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: yesterday the omni, the omni, especially for Dak, they need 250 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: to shrink wrap them, you know, like like you do 251 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: uh whatever when you put it in the freezer and 252 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: chain him into his room. Don't let him out. Well, 253 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: and here's the other thing, cousin winters out. It looks 254 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: like it although he has a chance to get back 255 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: in time. Right with the day after it came out 256 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: that Wentz, you know, it tested positive and the rules 257 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: there for an unvaccinated player was that he had to 258 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: sit for ten days. Well, the CDC that very same day, 259 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: across the board, the guidelines went from in half from 260 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: ten days to five days, and the NFL adopted it 261 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: and the Players Association agreed to it the next day. 262 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: And so Wentz actually has a chance to play this week, 263 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: I guess now see and That's why the good thing 264 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: was for the cowboys when ever soon and you were 265 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, their family and friends or whatever, 266 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: but the Cowboys were going to allow family and friends 267 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: to come in and get tested. At least now you're 268 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: probably not staying away from them. And then the other 269 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: factor in there is not everybody's got a family, you know, 270 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: so guys are getting out and they just need not 271 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: to do it. This is the time, yeah, where all 272 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: of that social stuff. And that's why the bubble was 273 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: so good for the NBA and allowed them to go 274 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: through with god, I don't know, just a small percentage 275 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: positive testing at the time. I think we need to 276 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: take that bubble mentality a home with us, you know, 277 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: especially this time of year. And I know it's tough 278 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: holidays and all of that, but man, let's just be real. 279 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: Holiday is the one thing. But this is your money, 280 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: this is your job, you know what I mean. So, yeah, 281 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: family is very important. You can still be with family, 282 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: but everyone under that bruf at your home, they should 283 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: be aware of how delicate a time this is for 284 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: everyone in the NFL. Okay, Everson, let me take you 285 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: back to twenty three year old Everson Walls. And I 286 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: remember twenty three year old Bill Jones, okay, and when 287 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: I'd come home to Dallas and that Greenville Avenue over there, 288 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: and we went there, especially over the holidays. And so 289 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: look back in your time capsule, way back forty years ago. 290 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: Years old. Yeah, twenty three years old. I was just 291 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: about to sign my bigger contract. Still living at home 292 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: of mom by the way, Yeah, still still living in 293 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: Hamilton Park. But twenty three years old, still clicking in 294 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: my childhood bedroom. I would have been all over Hamilton 295 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: Park having a ball. I mean, you know, come on, 296 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: So how tough is it for these guys that are 297 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: one two years out of college. They're twenty three years 298 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: old and living in Dallas and living in Dallas and not. 299 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: I just remember the interview they did with Charlie Waters. 300 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: It was a couple of years ago, and Charlie gets here. 301 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: He's playing for the Cowboys. He's twenty three, twenty four 302 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: years old, and this is the early seventies, by the way, 303 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: in Dallas, and Charlie basically, Charlie basically said, if I 304 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: hadn't got married, I think I'd have killed myself. Can 305 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: see what's having so much fun? Well? That was the 306 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: thing about me. What the good thing was? You know, 307 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: I had I grew up with Hill, my wife, so 308 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: we were always you know, we're in the same neighborhood. 309 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: I think really we're living home with mom and being 310 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: with Sharrell. I think they would have they would have 311 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: kind of put the kabas on some a lot of 312 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: the stuff that I would have wanted to do, like 313 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: talk some sense into you. Right, so you had a 314 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: good support system around you. Yeah, yeah, I would have 315 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,239 Speaker 1: been blessed with a support system. But I know that. 316 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: But that's not everybody.

Here? 368 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: You got an interesting stat I just kind of stumbled 369 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: into because somebody asked me a question about if you're 370 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: looking at the Cowboys defense, what concerns you? And I said, 371 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: I still am concerned about them giving up big plays 372 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: because even though they basically shut down walk Shington, I 373 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: think they stopped him with like two hundred and eighty 374 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: four yards Washington. It was Washington, but they had three plays, 375 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: so fifty seven I think it was fifty seven snaps 376 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: for two eighty four or something like that. They had 377 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: three plays for one hundred yards, so fifty four plays. 378 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: They only gave up one hundred and something. Right. So 379 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys downfall on defense if they're not getting takeaways, 380 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: is they keep giving up big plays. So I looked 381 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: in the in the stats, and the Cowboys have given 382 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: up fifty six plays of past plays of at least 383 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: twenty yards, right, And I was thinking, well, just a 384 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: little bit. I've watched Arizona. They seemed to produce a 385 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: lot of big plays. Like Kyler Murray loves just throwing 386 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: the ball down the field deep high fifty fifty balls, 387 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: but they complete them well. If the Cowboys have given 388 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: up fifty five plays of twenty yards or more, Arizona 389 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: has fifty six plays of twenty yards or more. And 390 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: get this. Of that fifty six, twenty four of them 391 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: are for more than thirty yards, So forty two percent 392 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: of those passes are more than thirty yards downfield. That 393 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: tells me that that Cowboys defensive front better have a 394 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: good game against the Arizona offensive line because they will 395 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: get the ball down the field. And I know they 396 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: don't have Hopkins, but they do have Christian Kirk who's 397 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: turned into their basically their leading receiver. And I went 398 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: back and looked, and we should never go back to 399 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: look at last year, right, the defense was so poor, 400 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: so poorly coordinated. But in that game that the Cowboys 401 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: got beat thirty eight to ten, Christian Kirk caught two passes, 402 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: one a six yard touchdown pass, the other an eighty 403 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: yard touchdown pair. And Kenyan Drake, who I don't think 404 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: they're with the Cardinals anymore, had a sixty nine yard 405 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: touchdown run. So there's twenty one of their thirty eight 406 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: points on three plays. Big plays, or at least two 407 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: big plays. Do you remember d Ernest Johnson. D Ernest Johnson, 408 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: I do not. Cleveland running back that ran all over 409 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: that defense last year. Okay, everybody was everybody, as you 410 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: said off the top there, everybody was doing it last year. 411 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: That's what makes this intriguing and ever since. What I'm 412 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: looking forward to is Michael Parsons against this Arizona offense. 413 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: And Michael was asked about Kyler Murray and what a 414 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: different animal Kyler is. Is he a cheetah? Is that 415 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: what he is? He called him with cheetah and he 416 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: said and he basically said yeah, he said, in the 417 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: cheetah will out run the lion, but the lions run 418 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: in packs, and when you have more lions, you can 419 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: stop the cheetah. That's right, that's the matchup I'm looking 420 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: forward to. That's the answer right there. There's always one cheater, 421 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: but you got a bunch of lions. So somebody asked him, 422 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: how where do you get all this information on the animals, 423 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: and he said, I watched the animal Chattel all who did? 424 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: Because last week it was the gazelle, right, uh huh. 425 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: The lion will get the gazelle. Because we go in packs. Well, 426 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: now he can get the cheetah in pacts too. The 427 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: cheetahs always alone, he's he's always I watched that stuff 428 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: through now, guys, I love it. And by the way 429 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: they talked about Kylin Murray, I was looking at the 430 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: Arizona website. Was on the corner of the website. They 431 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: talked about Kyler Murray probably at the top of many 432 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: many cases list as probably be best high school player 433 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: in history, the best football You probably wouldn't getting many 434 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: arguments with people around here since he went on. If 435 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: I tell you, guys all the time, I was there 436 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: for several of his playoff games, and boy, I swear 437 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm not impressed much in in mad manor this this guy, 438 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: I knew he would be special. And when he went 439 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: to A and M I was wondering what the heck 440 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: was taking so long, you know, for people to realize 441 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: just how good this guy is. I mean, actually put 442 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: some doubt out there in his in his ability because 443 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: no one would really play and they wouldn't play him. 444 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: And then finally he got his shot right well and 445 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: he transfers. And that was back in the old days 446 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: where a quarterback had to sit out a year and 447 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: then he's backing up Baker Mayfield and uh, you know, 448 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: going into that, you know he didn't even take part. 449 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: Uh you know, he was playing summer baseball and he's 450 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: playing in the springtime. He was playing baseball on the 451 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: Ou baseball team. And as you'll remember, everybody knows the 452 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: story now, but maybe some have forgotten. You know, he 453 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: was the ninth overall pick of the Oakland A's and 454 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: the Baseball Draft, and that was before he stepped on 455 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: the field to do anything at Oklahoma. I mean, going 456 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: into that, that Heisman Trophy winning season at Ou, he 457 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: was everyone thought, oh, he's going after this season, he's 458 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: going to be playing major league baseball, or not major league, 459 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,239 Speaker 1: but he'd be signing with the A's and and uh, 460 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: and then he had Finally he got his opportunity, and 461 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: obviously he made the most of it to the point 462 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: that you know, six months later he's the number one 463 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: overall pick of the Arizona Cardinals. And when you think 464 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: about it, yeah, it was obviously it was Cliff Kingsbury. 465 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is the reason Cliff Kingsbury got that job 466 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals, really because he went in when 467 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: he entered viewed for that job. He went in there 468 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: because he was going to be the USC offensive fort 469 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: already hired there at USC after being fired at Texas Tech. 470 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: And he went in there and I guarantee you he 471 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: told he told those Arizona cardinals of the front office 472 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: staff and ownership that we draft this guy and we 473 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: can do this. And sure enough it's panned out that way. 474 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: And of course he had one, you know, skins on 475 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: the wall because he's the guy that coach Patrick Mahomes, 476 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: and Mahomes had just done what he had done with 477 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs after getting his opportunity. So if 478 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: you go back to last year, last year's game, he 479 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: was only against the Cowboys nine of twenty four for 480 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty eight yards, but two touchdowns. I've 481 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: told you the two touchdowns, right, So one past eight 482 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: completions he had for one hundred and eight yards and 483 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: then one completion for eighty yards which was a touchdown. 484 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: He ended up with only one sack and a nine 485 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: three point eight quarterback rating, so they kind of controlled him. 486 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: He makes everything so shiny and bright, you know what 487 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: I mean, even though he may not do anything on 488 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: that play. It used to be like swam talking to him, Bill, Yeah, 489 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: you know he was squamble, squam I mean he was 490 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: squabble fifty yards and complete a five yards route and that. Yeah, 491 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: and that, and that's why you talk about watching him 492 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: in high school. He you know, he was. He's a 493 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: terrific passer and everything, but it was that speed on 494 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: the field that I mean. High school kids couldn't couldn't 495 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: catch him, College kids couldn't catch him. NFL players can't 496 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: can't catch him on the field, and uh, it just 497 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: sets him apart from from others. Now ever since do 498 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: you know Kevin Murray Kyler's dad, I do not, okay, 499 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: but Kevin I'm him. Yeah. Well, and Kevin was a 500 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: great quarterback coming out of North Dallas High School, went 501 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: to Texas A and him and of course broke his ankle. 502 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: And I still remember that picture, Bill, still remember that picture. 503 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: They would stay showed it and still a still shot 504 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: of course on the cover of sports magazine. That was crazy. Yeah. 505 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: And and of course, um, Kevin's uncle, Calvin Murray is 506 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: a great baseball player for National Champion team at Texas 507 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: and UH and played in the and made it to 508 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: the big legs and so to accentuate what you were 509 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: talking about, his speed and ability to run. While he 510 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: didn't hurt the Cowboys that bad throwing the ball, he 511 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: had ten carries for seventy four yards. There you go, 512 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. There you go. So that's what you 513 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: got to be able to worry about. Well, let's let 514 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,719 Speaker 1: me get back guys. I kind of got a check 515 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: because I wanted to talk about giving up the big 516 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: plays because hey, my rookie year, I ain't gonna lie 517 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: that was it was kind of my fourteenth. But we 518 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: had as a unit, we talked, I brag about our numbers, 519 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: and I always try to compare this group to hours 520 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: because we had we have the exciting to aligne. We 521 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: have the exciting playmaking defense. But we did give up 522 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: too many big plays, especially early on in the year. Now, 523 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: as we went into the playoffs, that all changed. We 524 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: weren't rookies anymore, and we didn't play like rookies anymore. 525 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: We gave up fewer big plays. We became a more 526 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: solid defense throughout that playoff, and that's including the San 527 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: Francisco game. Our defense was very good, and our third 528 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: down defense was always the best in the NFL, and 529 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: that to me reminds us so much of this team. 530 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: So to me, as we're getting closer to the playoffs, 531 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: these guys are looking better just like we did. Okay, 532 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: they're looking better. I look forward to them being more 533 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: solid spacts. And I don't know what those last four numbers, 534 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: those last four weeks looked like in regards to your 535 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: big plays, big play numbers, but I dare say that 536 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: they have probably diminishing and everything's looking a bit more solid, 537 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: because that's the pattern that you want going into this 538 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: stretching plays throughout the playoffs. So I bet I can 539 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: look those up for you real. And that's the thing 540 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: because even in the San Francisco game, we held them 541 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: down very well. You know, the last drive just got 542 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: us on both sides, and so you know, you're looking 543 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: at solid numbers. You were looking at solid numbers going 544 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: out through our those playoffs. I think we killed Tampa 545 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: and then had Joe Montana on the votes until the 546 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: last drive, So those things you can hang your hat on. 547 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: I believe they're looking better, and I think they've become 548 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: more familiar with each other as a unit. So in 549 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: the Vegas game Thanksgiving Day, they gave up twenty plays 550 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: of twenty yards or more run or pass, eight plays, 551 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: eight plays of twenty yards or more. Do I know? 552 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: I say it back? Well, I thought you said they 553 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,719 Speaker 1: gave up twenty plays of twenty yards. No, No, No, 554 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: eight plays eight plays of twenty yards or more. But 555 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: check this out. Well, here's how bad it was because 556 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: the past plays were fifty six, thirty one, thirty five, 557 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: fifty four and thirty. Okay, now, since that uh in 558 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: New Orleans Taysom Hill UH one, two, three, four, five, six, 559 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: seven plays total run pass, and then of at least 560 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: twenty yards and then Washington the first time around one 561 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: um they missed? Did this? This should be Giants? The 562 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: next game was the Giants just one, two three, and 563 00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: then Washington again. So Derek Carr, Heinecke, Glennon and Heinekee 564 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: against the Hills in there too. Yeah, an injury with 565 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: a broken finger. And now we got Kyler Murray. And 566 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: by the way, Kyler Murray's last four games is coming 567 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: back from his injury where he missed three games. How 568 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: many touchdown passes does Kyler Murray have in his last 569 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: four games? Three? Close four? He's got four touchdown passes 570 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: in the last four games. How many touchdown passes did 571 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott have in the first two quarters the other night? Four? 572 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: He did have four. That's that's right, all right. And 573 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: not to bring up another horror story from last year, 574 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: but in that game against Arizona, they ran thirty five 575 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: times four. Take a guess, three hundred and sixty nine 576 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: yards close, two hundred and sixty one. Okay, you know Bill, 577 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: Bill just came up with three sick nine two sixty one. Wow, 578 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: all right, we got you know, whatever, sin. We don't 579 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 1: have a show tomorrow, so you know what's coming up next. 580 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: It's our picks to click and who's going to win 581 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: on Sunday when the Cowboys play, the card goes.

Nope, We're not to 627 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,720 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve holiday And so that means we're making 628 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: our picks right now for the Cowboys and the Cardinals. 629 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,720 Speaker 1: Everson Walls, what you got this week? All right, guys, 630 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty easy for me as far as 631 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 1: the score it's concerned. I think this is gonna be 632 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: a really exciting game on both sides. You got playmakers 633 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,720 Speaker 1: on both sides. Even without the hop being with the Cardinals, 634 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: they still have a good squad. I think they'll come 635 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 1: in with a lot of pride and they need this game. Guys. 636 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: They're gonna pull out all stops. That's not like they're 637 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: just gonna come in, you know, woundedn't and feeling side 638 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: for themselves. They're gonna come in pretty hopped up and 639 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: ready to go. So I'm looking at a coach game. 640 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys offense is gonna be real strong, 641 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: so we should get back into the thirties. I'm looking 642 00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: at a thirty one to twenty one game. Okay, Dallas 643 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys winning that and uh man, I think my record 644 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: is gonna fall. Everyone acts like it's falling already. Hey man, man, 645 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, you that was forty years draw.

I think he's gonna be ready for so. Yeah, 650 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: one pick the dig twenty one Cowboys. I wonder if 651 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: they give him Christian Kirk like he goes wherever Christian 652 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: Kirk goes. Oh, I think it'll be. Are they play 653 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: it straight I think they'll play it straight up Green? 654 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, that's true.

I had him fifty six fourteen last week. 698 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: So maybe though forty five, I did have him fifty 699 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: two to seven I think the week before we off. Yeah, 700 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, it's a good thing. We're here to 701 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: keep him straight, all right.

Well, the game tomorrow afternoon kicks off twenty 703 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: four hours from right now, the Goodyear cotton Ball the 704 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: Alabama Crimson tie against the bear Cats of Cincinnati. Who 705 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: wins that game? Alabama is a thirteen and a half 706 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 1: point I think that's good. I think that's accurate. Yeah, 707 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,800 Speaker 1: I think trey Von will be very happy with the results. 708 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 1: That quarterback. I mean, you got to have a quarterback 709 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 1: that can get you out of trouble and not put 710 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: your defense in trouble. I think they have that. Bryce 711 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 1: Young has played well. So cops ever had a football 712 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:43,720 Speaker 1: player from Cincinnati. They did a cornerback. They drafted him 713 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: and I can't remember his name it was and bring 714 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: your book with you? Oh seven or Mickens? Oh I 715 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: remember that name? Yeah, oh, you do have it. Okay, 716 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,240 Speaker 1: we can't leave until we see this, all right, we'll 717 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: figure it out. Six players, actually six layers from Cincinnati Cinnati. Wow, 718 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 1: how many from Missouri? That's the question. Oh, it's at 719 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,359 Speaker 1: least a dozen. What year was that? Many? Start naming them? 720 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: Nine nine nine from Missouri? About that, remember, Chris not 721 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: You just just look up to what you're not a 722 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: draft pick from Grambling? They list three. There's three. They 723 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: don't list them by teams. They do by team. It 724 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: is by team Grambling three. Yeah, wow, you're on the 725 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: wrong page. I want to look at my way by college. 726 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: That's what Mike Mickens, it was Mike Mickens, who was 727 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 1: a seventh round draft pick in two thousand and nine, 728 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 1: the ill fated two thousand and nine draft class. That's 729 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: why no one remembers. So he didn't make the team. 730 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: You know, he did not make the team. So who else? Oh? 731 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 1: Who whoa whoa. They also drafted in that same draft 732 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: DeAngelo Smith in the fifth round out of Cincinnati. So 733 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: two out of that two thousand and nine. So the 734 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: scout that was working Cincinnati got his way and missed 735 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: on both of them. You know, if you look at 736 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: the list bikes colleges, you know I didn't do it 737 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,200 Speaker 1: a little faster. I thought I got there pretty fast 738 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: that way. Well you're lucky you remembered the year. Uh huh, 739 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 1: Well I knew it wasn't a good draft pick. So 740 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 1: if it wasn't a good draft pick in Cowboys history, 741 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 1: start with two thousand and nine. Oh my gosh, bomb 742 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 1: was the bomb? Uh wait? Yeah, I mean wait, wait 743 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: Wade was the coach? Yeah in O nine, Yeah, in 744 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: O nine yeah, yeah, that's when they traded. So you 745 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: I got I got Alabama and Georgia in the National 746 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,879 Speaker 1: Championship game. Yeah you too. Okay, you're going go out 747 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 1: on that limb. Yeah, I'll take Cincinnati in Michigan. Now 748 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna go. It's gonna be I think. And Georgia 749 00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,879 Speaker 1: beats Alabama. I mean we got time to make that pick. 750 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,240 Speaker 1: I think, so might finally do something. They might finally 751 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 1: do something. All right? What Cincinnati? The Bearcats? Yes, the 752 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: Bearcats yet like they're no, I'm thinking were they always 753 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,879 Speaker 1: or did they have another nickname and they change? Were 754 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: they always developed? You mean like a racist nickname? That 755 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 1: is that the way of saying everybody's changed their nicknames? No, 756 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 1: not if they had to. Yeah, all right, I'm looking 757 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 1: it up. By the way, fifteen from Oklahoma. Fifteen from Oklahoma. 758 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's that's I could see that. All right, 759 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 1: I am checking them. Done.

Wow, 761 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 1: isn't that something?

Yeah, you know how you know how 764 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati got the nickname Bearcats? Yeah? Because there's no bearcats 765 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,800 Speaker 1: in Ohio. What is a bearcat? I have no idea. 766 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:22,399 Speaker 1: I don't think they're thing. I thought they just made 767 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 1: it up. Okay. The bearcat became the UC mascot in 768 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen in a football game against the UK Wildcats 769 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: that'd be the Kentucky Wildcats. Key players in the birth 770 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 1: of the bearcat were a star UC player named Bear, 771 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 1: a creative cheerleader, and a talented cartoonist. It's too long 772 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,320 Speaker 1: a story, but if it's because a player had the 773 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: last name Bear and they turned it into bearcats. So 774 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 1: they've been new bearcats. Yeah, so there you go once again. 775 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 1: Does it truly admit? No, it does not. It's fictional.

And then there was a cheerleader too. Yeah, 781 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: and then a talented cartoonist. The crowd took up the cry. Okay, 782 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 1: all right, I'll tell the whole story. You see, cheerleader 783 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: Norman pat Lyon, building on the efforts of a fullback 784 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:40,320 Speaker 1: named Teddy Teddy Bear, created the chant they may be wildcats, 785 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: but we have a bear cat on our side.
