Inside the SWBC podcast studio at the 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:37.599 Star in Frisco. You sound much, but I amn't. It's good. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.000 It's the road to recovery. It's not exactly as soon 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:41.960 as I toss it to Mickey here, I'm gonna hit 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.000 my cough button and we'll be able to improve it 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:50.200 even more. But it's Bill Jones, it's Everson Walls. Inside 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:54.280 the studio, into the satellite center we go and it's 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:59.400 the playoff satellite Sentlly Off and Mickey Spagnola. I'm gonna 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:04.640 hit my cough but Mickey, you talk. I can hear you. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.800 I can hear you loud and well. So we're doing 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.039 really well so far. You're just next door. Sometimes I 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.240 should say this afternoon. Yes, I think I'm better when 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.840 I'm in a hotel room in Vegas than than you are. 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.960 My WiFi is better here yeah, that's crazy. Nicky's got 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.960 his playoffs. It looks like, oh, is that what it is? Yeah? Yeah, 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.240 unready if you want to talk there, Bill, Sorry, yeah, 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:35.680 yeah sorry. Nicky's got his playoff vest On. It appears 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.600 now he looks. I am ready. What's Pinocchio's father? That's 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:48.400 what That's what it looks like. All right. There was 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.000 an alarming site. I think an encouraging site, but it 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.440 might be alarming to son some that when I walked 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.520 into the Star today I saw football players on an 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:03.800 outdoor practice field. Ooh, that's a miracle night and with 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.040 and with pads on. All right, that was the first 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.760 question Everson had for me. And that's a great place 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.760 to start. Yes, it is. So the padded practices, the 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.680 amount of padded practices they can have. Does it start 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.440 over again once the postseason starts? Maybe you get one 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.880 a week. I think that's what I'm thinking. You come 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.239 on with spags. You gotta do better than that. Man. 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.839 I could have said that that BA, even even if 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.520 you're not sure, Mickey, Yeah, you're supposed you're supposed to 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.679 say yes, they get one more each week. If I'm 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:44.160 not mistaken, Yeah I did. I didn't mean that they 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.160 could get multiple. I guess what I meant to say 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.799 is you get one a week as long as you 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.640 continue to play. Now you go there, you go, all right, 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.959 you just made it sound like you were uncertain. Okay, 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.640 so do it during the season they're doing the season, 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:02.560 they get how many total doing the season? Thirteen? Yeah, 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.040 I believe it was thirteen over the course of the season. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.320 But you couldn't save them up to the last month, 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.680 so then you use them up at a certain period 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.560 of time. So on average, Uh, it's not even one 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.080 per per week. Thirt You have eighteen weeks in a 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.640 season and you get a man that that. But my 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.760 NFL Players Association, they are really doing that job. Yeah, 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.280 leave man back in the day. They would probably make 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.480 us practice two days for the rest of the week, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:34.280 rest of the season, every day. Well, maybe that's why 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.960 I maybe that's why I read today that an average 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:45.600 number of points per game have gone down this year. Interesting? Interesting, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.960 Well what practice? Well, it doesn't mean the offense has 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.840 the advantage. Shouldn't they have the advantage? Or should the 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.080 defense have the advantage? I mean, should be should be 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.480 more scores, more more points? You know, that's interesting that 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.720 that they're early in the season, it seemed like we 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:06.160 had higher scoring games than pat previous seasons. But you're 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.080 saying that at the end of the season. Scoring went 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.320 down this season for the entirety of the season, Yeah, 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:19.960 like one point did one point? So defensively we finally 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.160 caught up. Yeah, there you go. Defense, we might be done, 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.960 but we're not stupid. So it's an average of one 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.760 point per game. It went down scoring in the league. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.440 That's because as the season went along, defenses started figuring 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:38.920 out these offenses. It wasn't just in Dallas that that happened. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.760 It happened across the league, right Mickey, You know though, 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:48.880 I yeah, and I read where possibly the number last 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.240 lear was higher because there were no fans in the stands, 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.440 or it was easier on offenses on the road. Interesting, 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.360 very good spats, I think. So then so then you're 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.640 thinking that if you go NBA, so then the bronze 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:10.159 championship start. The real argument here, so being being in 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.520 the being in the bubble that was that was a 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.440 astick championship. I think it had more to do with 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.120 the fact that players didn't have an off season and 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.320 much of a training camp, and it was more seven 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.599 on seven. Interesting, that's my theory on there you go. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.240 What are you all right? Mickey? As for as for 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.080 the rest of As for the rest of practice, yes, 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.640 the Cowboys did the same thing today as they did yesterday. 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:44.520 They started off outside, did their individual work, the position work, 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.159 and then they went indoors for the rest of practice. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:53.240 So taking eyeballs off the practice, I would imagine. Uh. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:58.919 And the entire roster was at practice. Uh so Uh. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.960 Jay Ryan Kers returned. We'll find out how much he did. 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.480 It sounded like in Mike's press conference that they were 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.160 going to kind of regulate his snaps and see how 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:14.760 he was doing. Nashan Wright returned to practice. He missed 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.880 yesterday for personal reasons, evidently the birth of his child. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.279 So he's back in. Yeah. And then they had guys 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.520 that were limited. But they were limited I think more 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.280 so just out of precautions. One of those Tyrant Smith. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.720 But Mike said he has no doubt that he'll be 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:40.640 ready to go. And oh, I know it was Wunda Wells, 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:45.120 the tight ends coach, was out in COVID protocol from 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.840 yesterday's practice. So we'll see just when he can get 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.719 back in, depending on I mean, when he got it right, 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.479 he's got to do the five days, and they didn't 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.599 practice Monday, they didn't practice Tuesday, So depending on when 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.520 he first tested, he could be back in time for 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.800 the game. Excellent, all right. You know we talked about this. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.200 You know, Bill wasn't part of this private conversation that 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.000 you and I had yesterday's Spags. He wasn't worthy. But 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.960 we talked about how important it is for the players 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.320 to stay on the roster, and I know we kind 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:29.520 of touched on it in previous podcast. But with the 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.600 playoffs as important obviously as they are, cowboys have a 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.280 chance to do something they really haven't done in a 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.600 long time with the kind of talent that they have. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.800 With COVID going around, I mean, just the way it's 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.400 going around and causing people to miss days. Even though 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.000 you might be vaccinated and boosted and all of that, 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.760 you still may have to sit out some days and 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:56.560 you might actually miss a playoff game. So the question 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.880 is what the heck do we do with our families. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.520 What do I do if I have kids at home, 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.120 they go to school, and if they bring it home 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.200 and they might infect me and I miss a game. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:13.640 An important playoff game. Is this a time for especially 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.520 some of the starters on the team, the ones that 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.720 I really get a lot of playing time, do they 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:28.480 isolate from their own families? I think that that's a 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.760 very good idea. Short of you know those machines they 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.000 sell at the store, you can shrink wrap stuff and 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:42.000 then freeze it like food. Short of shrinking. Yes, get 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.800 into the hotel and it sounds like, you know, just 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.199 kind of what we're hearing, uh that you know some 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.520 of the players are utilizing that, but i'd have them 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.440 all in there. Yeah in line, man. That's that's something 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.960 that you know, we talk about the bubble with the 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.559 NBA and and and how well that worked out for 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:04.200 them to finished the season with very few people sneaking out. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.320 I think they had uh Lemon pepper Lou Williams, you 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.560 heard that little term. And you heard that term. Lou Williams. 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.520 You know, he's a six Man of the Year. He 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.800 decides to try to sneak out during the first days 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.400 of the bubble. Yeah, and he goes to uh this 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.240 popular script join in Atlanta. Yeah, and they and he 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.320 doesn't sneak out. He takes pictures with everyone on social 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.240 media so and he was talking about how good the 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:35.920 lemon pepper wings. Okay, so they stuck all them sometimes, 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.040 those limon pepper wings. Yes, the lemon pepper lewis what 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.640 they called him. That's his name. So we don't want 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.760 the lemon pepper LUs about here, spags. We want some 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.240 guys that are committed to staying you know, isolated and 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:53.000 could have a big chance to play, or like the 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.200 guy in the guy in training camp last year that 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.120 when or in twenty twenty when they were secluded in 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:04.120 training camp tried to dress up his girlfriend as a 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:08.360 player and sneaker in the camp that was that was 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:15.960 in Seattle? Wasn't Seattle? I think? Yeah, uh, all right, 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.400 One thing I do wonder and we'll never know the 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.000 answer to this because it's all behind the scenes. But 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:27.840 you know, the um uh the NFL has it's been 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.600 now for about a month's time. They changed the testing 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.319 protocols and so forth where in line with the CDC 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.640 and and made it a five day time period instead 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.800 of ten days and so forth, and for vaccinated or 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:48.320 unvaccinated players. The random testing element of it um which 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.600 it was prevalent throughout the regular season as well. I 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.240 wonder how much of the random testing is going on 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.880 in the postseason or if players are basically just being 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:05.120 tested now if they have SIMP Well, I thought the 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:09.000 last time, last thing I read the random testing that 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:13.840 was going on with the vaccinated players. Maybe the unvaccinated 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:18.439 are they still getting tested? Am I Okay, we have 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.880 maybe on the unvaccinated. Yeah, but but a guy like 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:25.280 Amari Cooper, since he UH tested positive is not for 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.040 a ninety day period, he's not subject to that even 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.480 though he's he's may to be known that he's unvaccinated. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.360 But maybe for the vat for the unvaccinated. But the large, large, 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.440 large percentage of players are vaccinated, and they were random 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.559 testing vaccinated players in the regular season, I wonder if 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.400 that's continued in the postseason, just because there's so much 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.840 at stake in the postseason, why wouldn't they randomly do 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.120 unvaccinated test unvaccinaed well if unvaccinated or having to do 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.640 it on a on a daily basis, unless they've tested positible. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.520 I think that's what makes me say Anyway, I just 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.800 wonder if if it's little random testing is to the 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.240 same level as it was in the regular season, just 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:11.240 because there's so much at stake in the postseason. Well, 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.880 they just better be glad they're not playing the Super 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:23.880 Bowl in Australia. That's a good So is it time 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:29.760 for a big shot? Yeah? Whatever you want. That seems 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.120 like a real good jump off right there. I got 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.360 things to say about the Djokovic. No, it's not it's 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:45.240 no right, no vac Oh my god. All right, Um, 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:53.480 Internet is undefeated, jay Ron Curse is back right, nicky, Yes, 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.240 And I think that's yes, And that's uh. I think 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.439 that's very significant, especially uh playing this team and how 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:06.000 the Cowboys have played their defense. A guy that, uh 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.000 can you know, help out against the run. But take 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.760 on a tight end like Kittle and I'll tell you what, 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.120 Killer is gonna be a tough handle regardless. I mean 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.240 Jay Roun, he's a good man to man, but Kittler 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.719 is an extremely exceptional route runner for a tight end. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.640 He's got quick feed, he's out, he's got wide receiver's feet. 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.120 You know, when I played cornerback back in the day, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.080 there's no way a tight end was gonna beat me. 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:38.600 I remember Garden Keith Jackson back to Bloomer wore him out. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.800 So that that's what happened when a cornerback covers a 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.640 tight end? These days a little bit more difficult. As 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.160 much as they were extremely talented tight ends back in 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.840 the day, you would have problems as a cornerback with 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.079 some of these tight ends. Uh. And even Jay run 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.200 is a capable safety, he's gonna have his issues. But uh, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:04.440 I think with guys like jay n I'd like to 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:13.280 ask you, how do vaccinated players feel after they've gotten COVID? Uh? 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.680 Especially seemed like this lighter COVID. Michael Parsons answered that question. 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:23.840 Didn't he micking? He did? And if I remember correctly, 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:29.560 what he said was, at this point, he feels fine, right, right, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:33.040 And he said it, and it's different for different people, 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.880 whether I mean, I mean I'm amongst vaccinated people, It's 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.360 going to be different for different people, but I mean 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.080 he basically described it as a as a as a 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:46.880 common cold, the symptoms that he had, right, and he 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.560 feels like he actually feels like he's refreshed now and 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.280 feels like he's coming off a bye week like and 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.320 when he came off a bye week in the regular season, 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.760 he did pretty well, didn't he make it look pretty 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.800 good to me? He was rejuvenated. So then if you 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.560 have we could get into I was gonna ask if 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:15.680 you have you have fresh legs versus whatever. The leftover 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.880 is the carryover from getting this mild strain. Well, and 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.840 like I say, I think it's different for it. I 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.440 can tell you myself, this was before everyone could get vaccinated. 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:30.040 I had COVID back in last February and um and 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:35.640 I felt a fatigue or a muscle fatigue for over 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.600 a three week period then. And there have been there 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.880 have been professional athletes who have said that same thing. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:46.080 I remember last seastin no, no, I'm talking to the 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.360 original strain. And I remember Miles Garrett. He got it 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.440 during the season last year twenty twenty, and he talked 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.720 about how he couldn't get his breath the rest of 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.120 the season. Remember, tell them with the Boston Celtics the 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.000 same thing. But I have not heard with the with 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:06.880 the omicron uh that you know, it's been milder symptoms 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.000 for everybody. I've not heard any players talk about how 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.800 how they're really dealing with it over the cab, the 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.680 leftover effect of it. So so you're saying we got 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.960 a fresh leg Michael Parton Parson Mica seems to think 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:24.360 he's he's you know, one rare and guess so, yeah, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.080 you get it, you get it, you get the guys 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.960 right and you get too, you get two days, risk 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.120 get you get some damn. But he didn't get the 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:36.320 NFL rookie sack record. Damn. Yes, good thing. There was 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:42.360 no incentives tied to it, right, all right? Did you 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.520 uh did you catch before you hit that break? Did 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.680 you catch what Parson's response was when uh he was 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:55.600 asked about San Francisco kind of bullish uh running attack? Yes, 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.040 and he was a Let's let's talk about that when 0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:59.720 we come back.

We 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.040 mentor kids and in uh this Frisco school district. So 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:15.040 I just came from mentor some kids um at one 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.080 of the Frisco high schools and just decide to wear 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:21.200 my gramling thing, you know, in case they wanted kind 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:25.160 of go to school. Well, hey, g right there there 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.240 you go. I did a little recruiting, did a little recruiting. 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.280 All right, very good. Um you like the new coach 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.399 I do? Yeah, I mean, come on, you got Hugh Jackson. 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.360 I mean that's to me, that's major. I'm just glad 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.080 these guys are coming back helping these young kids. And 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.200 you know, talking about mentoring, you know the impression of 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.959 a former NFL head coach that that you can make 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.760 it an HBCU. I mean we know what but uh 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.240 prime is doing in at Jackson State. But man, Hugh Jackson, 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.600 can you know he's not he doesn't have the glamor 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.960 name but you know his mission there, uh could be 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.320 so important. You know for the HBCU kids. You know 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.320 what we need. We need a network TV contract. That's 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.280 what we need. That's exactly what we need. And I 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.480 promise you somebody like Dion coming in. You also have 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.320 Eddie George there. You have Eddie Robinson Junior in no 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.040 relation to Eddie Robinson himself, but he's at Alabama A 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.040 and M, which I'm sorry Alabama State which was his 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.200 album model. And all these pros going back showing these 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.200 young kids how to do it. And they're not passing 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.840 up the HBCUs to go polifive or whatever. They're starting 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.480 at the ground boost level. Great stuff. I'm talking week 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.200 league game or more more than that. You know, We're 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.680 promise you. People are talking about that. That's right, that's 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.800 what needs to happen. All right. Last segment, we were 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:45.959 talking about the padded practice rule and yes, in the postseason. 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:49.680 Chris Beam has handed me a copy of the official 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:54.600 NFL Practice Rules. Section one. Clubs participating in the postseason 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.479 may hold one padded practice per week on a day 0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.879 of the clubs choosing commencing with the week following the 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.719 club's last regular season game. During the regular season, clubs 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:08.200 get fourteen practice padded practices over the course of the 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:12.399 eighteen week season. Eleven of those fourteen have to be 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.520 used the first eleven weeks of the season. Okay, So 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.080 that means you only have three padded practices over the 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:23.440 course of the last seven weeks of the season. And 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.440 then the other thing that's interesting, Mickey, the prohibited drills. 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.639 This is throughout the season, whether it's training camp or whenever. 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.600 Prohibited drills include bull in the ring, King of the Circle, 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:42.280 drills are the Oklahoma drill, offensive line versus defensive line, 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:47.760 in line run blocking and board drills, and half line 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:50.760 pods and three spot drills. Each is to find an 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:54.000 article twenty three sections, so it's in there in the rules. 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:59.400 No Oklahoma drills, you know what though, So how nice 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:02.160 of them. So when we said Bill that they only 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:05.920 got thirteen, we forgot there was an extra game this year, 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.840 so that meant they got fourteen padded practice. Could you 0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:12.680 imagine how much energy I would have had after practice 0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:17.600 if that's the schedule. I'm getting so much trouble, you know, 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.600 I just really would look at those Dalla caps. Back 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.680 in the day, the Raiders too. Wow, man, you look 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:27.240 at it, especially if you're a really night the Giants 0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:33.440 Ltmagic letting LT run around in New York after having 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.040 the kind of practices that we have right now, you know, 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:38.480 he never would have made it to the end of 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.680 his career, never would have made never been in the 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:45.040 whole thing, you know what though, and he hardly made 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:49.280 it to practice on anyway. There are some teams that 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.320 do these drills during games though. That would be you know, 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:54.520 like the Olcloma drill. What what's the Olclomo drill? It 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:58.360 consists of you said, two backs, right, yeah, and once 0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.200 likes like a two on one blocking scheme and you 0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:02.879 have to fight off a blocker to get to the 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:07.400 running back whatever player. Mickey, that's kind of the run 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:11.520 scheme that Kyle Shanahan has with the Bullies from the 0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:16.840 Bay San Francisco for you know, they'll take that George 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.240 Kittle they're tied end that you're you know, you think 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:22.520 about him being a receiving tight end. Mike McCarthy talked 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:25.320 about the fact that he's an all around player and 0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:28.160 you'll see him go in motion and he's a lead 0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:31.720 blocker along with Kyle Juice tech who is their Pro Bowl, 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:36.440 multiple time Pro Bowl fullback, that they create two on one, 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:41.080 three on one blocking schemes against linebackers like Micah Parsons, 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:45.400 who Mickey is not about to be bullied around by anybody, isn't. 0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.680 He's He's absolutely amazing how he comes up with this 0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:55.720 stuff at the spur of the moment and yesterday's media session, uh, 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.399 he was asked, somewhat tongue in cheek, uh, if you 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:04.439 could bull a lion, right, because because they're there, they 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:09.920 talk about being a bullyball offense. And by the way 0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:13.280 we talked, we talked about him being a lionbacker like 0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:17.560 a month ago, right, somebody somebody stole it in the 0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:20.480 paper the other day and it's like, yeah, he's a lionbacker. 0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:24.320 It's like, hey, you're late to the scene. But anyway, 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:31.359 so anyway, his response to if you can bully a lion, 0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:36.280
