What did I What did I miss while 13 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: I was gone? We had a few things to talk 14 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: about yesterday. We've got more of the same and then 15 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: some to talk about today. To set the scene here, 16 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: Mickey just came from the practice field where he was 17 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: listening to some of the interviews post practice interviews that 18 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: are going on right now. Marie, Marie Cooper, Okay, we 19 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: need a wireless a wireless Mike. Yeah, put it down 20 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: on the little stand and listen to what Dak has 21 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: to say here and wherever whenever he shows us. So 22 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: Dak's about to talk to the media, he was supposed to. 23 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: This is his day. I don't know what time, if 24 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: he comes right away or if he showers first, so 25 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: he's usually the last guy. Okay, all right, So we 26 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: what have you heard so far from anybody as anyone 27 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: had any play? What does the coach say? What's coach 28 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: McCarthy talking about? Did he explain himself? Did he talk 29 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: about the untimeliness of this relie? What was it? Or 30 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: it might or it might have been very timely by 31 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: the way, might have been. Yeah, ye, bring us up 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: to speak, Micky, what can you well? And we should 33 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: point out that's what has happened, as many of you 34 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: probably know by now, what has happened since we last 35 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: convened yesterday, is that Jalen Smith apparently has found a 36 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: new NFL home very quickly, right, Mickey, Yes, he has. 37 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Looks like he's agreed to a one year deal with 38 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and I would imagine from my 39 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: financial standpoint, it doesn't have to be for all that much, 40 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: since the Cowboys have to honor his seven point two 41 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: million dollars base salary. So I would imagine the veteran 42 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: minimum since it happened so fast that it didn't have 43 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: to be much of a negotiation, right, especially the veteran 44 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: minimum for now just what thirteen games? You don't have 45 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: to pay for the whole season too, by the way. 46 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, so that took place, and uh, you know, 47 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy today did not want to talk anything more 48 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: about it. Um, you know, and I'm sure they were 49 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, whatever, you know, good, good for him, 50 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: he was able to find a job or whatever. Uh 51 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: so he was pretty mum on that. Yesterday, Everson said, 52 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: I mean Everson, he said that there were multiple factors 53 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: on why they allowed decided to release Jalen Smith, and 54 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: he didn't want to get into the factors. So that 55 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: left it fair game for us to fill in the 56 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: factors the best we thought we could. Let's go, let's 57 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: let's go, let's let's just throw stuff up in the 58 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: air and let's see what sticks. How about it. Let's go, 59 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: let's start right. Well, we we did it yesterday and 60 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: um and you should have been listening, by the way, Uh, 61 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: he was in transit all. You know that they called 62 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: there's a thing called recordings by the way, right, yes so, 63 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: and I don't think called Cowboys dot Com. Yes media, 64 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: click on media and right there you go. But I 65 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: think that you know, the the you know, quick review 66 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: of it was number one. I think play on the 67 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: field number two. They wanted to restructure his contract, especially 68 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: next year where he had a injury guarantee for nine 69 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: point two million against injury, meaning if he got injured 70 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: at any point this year, they would be and it 71 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: carried over and he wasn't good to go by the 72 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: fifth day of the league year, he was guaranteed that 73 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: base salary, and I think that's what they wanted to 74 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: restructure and not take that chance. And I think he denied. 75 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: And you know, one thing I think we've learned when 76 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: it comes down to dollars and cents with the Joneses, Um, 77 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: that's a pretty big deal. Uh. And then I think 78 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: the other thing they looked at is, you know, with 79 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: Kean O'Neill coming back, uh, and probably Michael Parsons playing 80 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: more linebacker, you know, the way he was playing and 81 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: how they were using him. He was going to be 82 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: linebacker four behind Layton Vanderish so and in some people's mind, 83 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: they might have wind up being linebacker. Linebacker five behind 84 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: you Brille Cox too right, and and and then the 85 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: other six behind Louke Gifford, and then the other thing. 86 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: The other thing ever said that, I think they were 87 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: looking at and Mike kept saying, big picture. Well, the 88 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: big picture is they've got about a half dozen guys 89 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: that will be returning or they want to return this 90 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. Uh. And there was going to 91 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: be some roster shaving to make room for those guys. Uh. 92 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: So you know, if you're not you know, playing or 93 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: starting in Europe, not doing much special teams, you might 94 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: be the one to eventually go anyway. So I think 95 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: they just made the decision after a personnel meeting on Tuesday, that, 96 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: you know what, it was time to move on. You know, 97 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: when you look at all the breadcrumbs that were left 98 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: by the organization, Cowboys organization, I think we kind of 99 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: saw this coming, but maybe not in this timely fashion. 100 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: The draft itself, we drafted how many linebackers guys. I 101 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: mean that should have let all the starting linebackers those 102 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: that are here know, hey, we have some young talent 103 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: here that is not only good but they are multi talented. 104 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: You've got you know, we talked about having these uh 105 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: hybrid type of players. You see a Jabril Cox. For 106 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: some reason, that's the first person I thought about when 107 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: they when I heard they let go of Jalen and 108 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: so along with some of the video that was sent 109 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: to me by some secret spy, that just really exhibited 110 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: just how incompetence at times that Jayden Smith was and 111 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: they were. It was glaring in competence. It wasn't just 112 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: make a mistake here and there amongst making great plays. 113 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: You saw more mistakes than you saw plays made. And 114 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: that's not a thing that you want from a player 115 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: that you have already paid this super contract. And I 116 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: have to say, guys, did we sign him to too 117 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: much too soon? I know, spags, you're going to talk 118 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: about what the market dictates, and and you know what, 119 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: someone else could have swooped him up. And they saw 120 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: him on the uptick as opposed that we've seen him. 121 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: We're seeing him now on the downtick. You're gonna say 122 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: that that's what the market bared. But even when they 123 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: signed him, I was very surprised that it was for 124 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: so much and so soon. Well, he had the one 125 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: good year, and I think they said, okay, it would 126 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: be behoove us to sign him early and probably for 127 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: a lesser amount than if they waited another year or 128 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: two when he really uh you know, continued on that track. 129 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: Unfortunately that didn't happen. And the other thing that, as 130 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: we pointed out yesterday, you know, everybody talks about his 131 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: base salary this year, what they don't have to pay 132 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: next year, but they forget to point out that there's 133 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: going to be six point eight million dollars in dead 134 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: money going into the cap that the Cowboys have to 135 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: account to for next year. And then the other thing, 136 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: and Everson, you probably can give us a kind of 137 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: a you know, a different view on this than we 138 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: might have. You know, I heard the talk today about 139 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: how surprised all the players were and how this was 140 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: going to affect the locker room, and you know, what's 141 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: going to happen in practice without the team one of 142 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: the team leaders there. And my point was is, I 143 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to affect it one bit. And 144 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: if anybody watched a part of practice that we watched yesterday, 145 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: I mean today there was no one out there morning. Okay, 146 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: they were having a very spirited uh practice high energy uh. 147 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: And so no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 148 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: no no, I'm not saying I'm not saying that. I'm 149 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: just saying I think from a players standpoint, I gotta 150 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: worry about myself, right, I gotta make sure that I 151 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: go out there and practice well. And next guy up's 152 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: got to go out and say, Okay, I got an opportunity. 153 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: You can't sit there and go, oh, what are they doing? 154 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: My good buddy, Jalen's gone. I just don't think that 155 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: happens in this transient business that is the NFL, is 156 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: especially now right in free agency. So I don't know. 157 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: If you got a lot of young guys out there 158 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: that pretty much understand that where this opportunity leads them, 159 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: they might look at this as Okay, guys, this is 160 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: just the process. This is not a warning shot to 161 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: players who aren't playing well. This is the team committing 162 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: to going forward with the best they can go forward with. 163 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how broken up the locker 164 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: room can be. You and I Spags have always joked 165 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: about Eugene Lockhart and I always trying to give him 166 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: some props on making all the tackles that he made, 167 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: and you know, Jalen was always the perfect example of that. 168 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: You can make those tackles, but with their ten and 169 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: fifteen yards down the field after you've chased them down 170 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: because you hit the wrong gap. You know, your hustle 171 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: is admirable, but you get you get a minus on 172 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: that play because he still got away from you. He 173 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: still came through your hole. So that happened a lot 174 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: with Jalen, and it continued throughout this season. We're still 175 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: giving up a lot of points. Were still decent against 176 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: the run, but we could be even better when you 177 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: take a look at some of the glaring mistakes that Jayleen. 178 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm not putting it all on Jalen, trust me, I'm 179 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: not doing that. But what they have not seen is 180 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: not just having seen an improvement from him. They've seen 181 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: a decline from not just his his play, but it 182 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: seems like his athletic ability. Yeah no, and I think 183 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: you're right. And you know, the guys were asked about 184 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: it yesterday, and you know, everybody kind of you know, 185 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: said the right thing. And but I thought, I thought 186 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: what Layton vander esh talked about more so than his 187 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: ability or lack of ability or Layton came down on 188 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,359 Speaker 1: people kind of making fun of him on social media 189 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: on the fact that yeah, it was about time they 190 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: got rid of him da And I just want you 191 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: to listen to what Leyton had to say about, you know, 192 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: guys getting cut, guys losing their jobs, and he turned 193 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: it more into hey, this is what happens to people 194 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: in our league. What bugs me most about it is 195 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: when people that are on the outside fans whatever it 196 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: may be, they want to say, oh, like, someone deserves 197 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: this or someone deserves that everything. They don't realize that 198 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: this is literally like our livelihoods. We literally could get 199 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: up and traded the next morning, like the next day, 200 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: we could be in fifty different freaking states. So people 201 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: need to realize that. People needn't realize that what they're 202 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: saying is literally just like nonsense. And I think that's 203 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: a big problem in the world today. And then you 204 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: cut that out because I mean, we're literally talking about like, 205 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: we don't go talking about someone else's job, so why 206 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: are they talking about our jobs. It's super frustrating, it's annoying. 207 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: I think it's classless. I got a lot of strong 208 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: words for it, because I know a lot of guys 209 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: are on the league. Deal with it. We got families. 210 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: We might be in one area. You got dudes that 211 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: have been playing for a team for eight years, they 212 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: get traded. They got family, they got kids that have 213 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: been there for that long. And think about that before 214 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: you say something like, oh, this guy deserves this, but 215 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: this guy deserves that. We don't go saying oh, we 216 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: aren't in your business, like how much you guys are 217 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: getting paid, or or what's your boss saying? Or this 218 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: than that, and about anybody else's jobs. We aren't doing that. 219 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: This is our lovelihood, this is our job. We get 220 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: traded tomorrow, we get cut tomorrow. Yeah, so people need 221 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: to realize what they're saying on social media because I 222 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: think it's ridiculous. So there you go kind of a 223 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: different point of view on this stuff. Yeah, I like 224 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: that because of course, you know, I've gone through it, 225 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: and hey, you can look at a lot of different occupations. 226 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean even you guys man when you're talking about 227 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: the media. Hell, Bill, how many jobs have you had? 228 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: About twenty five and not all by his own choice? 229 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: Right back to my points, So you know I've gone 230 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: through with myself facts you've been from the hot water. 231 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: You know you've heard You've heard how people talk about Mickey. 232 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: I mean the people he works with over those radio stations, 233 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: what they say about Mickey. Yeah, so, I mean, and 234 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: I do like the angle that vandersch. I'm gonna mean 235 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: to call it an angle, but uh, he's white. You know, 236 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: stuff happens, man, We are aware of that. And I 237 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: think what he's saying is, Okay, stuff does happens, but 238 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: have a little bit more empathy. I think that's what 239 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: he's saying. And let's let me say this, guys. I 240 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: know I sound like an old food but you just 241 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: cannot let social media determine your outlook on anything, man, 242 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: if it's coming from a negative standpoint. I see athletes 243 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: now reading social media, reading these comments from people they 244 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: have never met, the people that don't even know them, 245 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: and it affects them and it deals with their mental 246 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: capacity in some way in a negative way. We kind 247 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: of had that going spags before you got there. I 248 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: always tell people this whole internet thing and and people 249 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: in the locker room thing going crazy and media just 250 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: being a little underhanded. That started to me in the 251 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties with Gary Myers. Uh, it was Jim dent 252 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: U Skip Skip Bayliss. The locker room became under siege 253 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: with with with spies and snitches and things of that nature. Uh. 254 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: Jim then hiding around the corner of the locker room 255 00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: trying to peek in on on players conversations, private converence, sation, 256 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: Jerry or and all of a sudden, this this whole thing, 257 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: Oh man, Jack, I mean what about the guy hernandez 258 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: on It was on Channel thirty three. It was just 259 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: it was it became this. You remember, you remember that 260 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: I got crazy. So now here we are, you know, 261 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: the Jerry and these guys come up, Jimmy comes up. 262 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: Everything just so blown out. Everything becomes a circus now. 263 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: And we were still that was our internet thing, that 264 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: was our social media stuff going on at that time. 265 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: We were still somehow able to block that stuff out because, 266 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: first of all, you can't give credence to someone who 267 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. And so 268 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: Vandersh needs to understand that what you hear out there 269 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: is nothing but white noise, you know, don't don't Yes, 270 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: yes people, yes, people are glad. They want to say 271 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: glad that he's gone. They're saying that they didn't think 272 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: he was that good and they left to their opinions, 273 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: and that is great, but you can't let that determine 274 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: what your outlook all is on America's self or your 275 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: all your Cowboys sports fans. These are guys that probably 276 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: not even sports fans, and probably guys they're not probably 277 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: not even American, they probably don't even live here, probably 278 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: sometimes got this all this going on. Yeah, so you 279 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. I hate that that hurts 280 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: him like that because he's that's that's his buddy, that's 281 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: his friend. He knows Jayla's has family, and I really 282 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: eympathize with what he's saying and I applaud him for that. 283 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: But man, that's just life in the NFL. And and 284 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: don't all that other stuff that's going on, all that 285 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: media stuff that's going on, not media stuff, but all 286 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: the Internet stuff and the comments and all that. Stay 287 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: away from that. Man, don't even read that crap because 288 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: it has no value to what the Dallas Cowboys are 289 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: doing and to Jayla's life itself. So let me give 290 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: you one example before we have to hit a break 291 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: care of what happens even in the newspaper business. So 292 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, you guys remember when the Dallas Times 293 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: Herald went out of business and we found out the 294 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: morning of the Cowboys game at Texas Stadium against the Saints, 295 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: and it was basically, this is our last edition. We're 296 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: going out of business. We've been bought out by the 297 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: Dallas Time Morning News. And so basically we did our jobs. 298 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: After the game, we hung out in the locker room 299 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: a little longer than normal just because we didn't know 300 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: what was next in our lives. Right, what's going to happen? 301 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: No place to go, no place to go, and so 302 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: we waited till we waited till Jimmy came out of 303 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: the coaches locker room, right and we didn't know if 304 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: he knew, but he did know. They told him what happened, 305 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: and so he looked at us and he gives us 306 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: this kind of cheapest grin and he goes, well, whatever, 307 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: now you know what coaches feel like when they get fired. 308 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: And he's got some nerves. I know, look and I 309 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: fire the kicker because he has Jimmie's eyes. Come on, man. 310 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: That was his way, that was his way of making 311 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: some common sense out of it like, Okay, it happens 312 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: in other businesses. You lose your job. You know, it's 313 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: like thanks to you you, We'll see it always has such 314 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: a soft heart.

All right, clearing up one more thing on 359 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: Jalen here as far as it being a quote unquote 360 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: money move, and because what we talked about earlier about 361 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: fifth day of the new year next year, which would 362 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: be in March, his contract would become guaranteed for next year. 363 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: His salary for next year was nine nine point two million, 364 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: all right, the cap charge that the Cowboys oh next 365 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: year on the cap is six point eight million for 366 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: the dead money. For the dead money, and so basically 367 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 1: you're looking at a difference of two point four million 368 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: dollars right there. So you don't have him and you're 369 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: paying your cap charge six point eight million, whereas and 370 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: so I look at it that way, that that this 371 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: was this was they have better players to play right now, 372 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's how was he playing more 373 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: than a than a money move because you're basically it's 374 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: two point four million dollars difference is all it is. 375 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: And I and I think from their standpoint, chances were 376 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: the way he was playing now that probably wasn't going 377 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: to make the team. Right So, but you know, and 378 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: and and and had he had some sort of surgery, 379 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: like a risk surgery like he had this past year, 380 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: he couldn't pass a physical on the fifth day, then 381 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: you're on the hook for nine point two million instead 382 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: of the six point eight million. And that's where a 383 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: trust factor comes in. Also, by the way, you got 384 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: to cover yourself. So it's a two point four million 385 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: dollars difference exactly. And so when you look at where 386 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: they're trying to go right now, it's two stags. You're 387 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: they don't see themselves getting better defensively with him going forward. 388 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: You know, right right he was hurting them as a defense, 389 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: which you know when they're trying to make moves. And 390 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: now the pressure is on, they see how good they are. Uh, 391 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, the tough decisions have to be made. I'm 392 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: sure that's kind of how it came down. But before 393 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: you got to move on to that, and once again 394 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: I missed a lot of yesterday. Oh so what was 395 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: coach's explanation? What did he even talk about the timeliness 396 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: of it? I mean, I never did hear you, guy. 397 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: It was more that through four games where you see 398 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: this defense is right now after four games, this was 399 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: the time to do it, and what and what our 400 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: and what our system was and it was more of 401 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: a big picture move than that. Dad takes into account 402 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: how the other players are playing, you know, and as 403 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: Mickey said off the top, you're getting Keiana Neil back. 404 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: You want vander esh to play. You know, vander Esch 405 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: had forty snaps last week. Jalen had twenty eight snaps. 406 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: I mean, and here's the other part of it. Even 407 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: here's a guy Jalen who's been a starter, I mean 408 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: even all of last year. He was playing every snap 409 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: on defense. Last year, he's never coming off the field. 410 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: And now even with this game against the Giants, if 411 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: you're making decisions on who's going to play based on 412 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: how they've how they're playing, and how they've earned their snap. 413 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna play any with the guys that were 414 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: coming back this way with Kean O'Neil knight, with Parsons 415 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: now able to take on the phone play at linebacker 416 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: sixty eight snaps last week. Um and and so then 417 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: you have sort of an awkwardness in your locker room that, Okay, 418 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: here's a guy who's been a starter, been a captain, 419 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, and he's now he's not playing at all, 420 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: especially when he's not contributing on special teams. Even he 421 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: can be the best trooper in the world, best team 422 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: guy in the world, but there's still a certain awkwardness 423 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: with that in the locker room. No, no, absolutely, you 424 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: have to know. Yeah, you have to know that with 425 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: his lack of you can see that those snaps were dwindling. 426 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: I like you guys were saying and leading into the 427 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: attitude that you talked about spags on the field. Maybe 428 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: they were like they've been waiting, you know, it's been 429 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: an awkwardness in the waiting because they could see his 430 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: snaps dwindling. They could you know, it's like the uncomfortable 431 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: thing and the big elephant in the room. Hey, Jalen's 432 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: numbers are going down. He's not playing well. They can 433 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: see it on the film itself. His scores were probably 434 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: going down. And once it was finally done, they're like, yeah, 435 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: we could kind of see that coming. And really they 436 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: ridicule it was just yeah, try and they really they 437 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: gave him every opportunity four games where, you know, and 438 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: with Neil out a couple of games, you know, to 439 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: see what you can do in the film, don't life. 440 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: So we move on and let me give you a 441 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: little update on the injuries the Cowboys were dealing with. Yesterday, 442 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: they had what three guys that did not practice. We 443 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: knew about Donovan Wilson not being ready to go. Ezekiel 444 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: Elliott was given the day. He had a little bit 445 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: of a sore knee. He said it got significantly better 446 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: from Monday to Wednesday, but they gave him a day 447 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: and today he was actually out there in pads. I'm 448 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: gonna guess they're gonna list him as limited, but he did. 449 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: He did a significant amount during the individual drills and 450 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: they said if all that went well, he would get 451 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: into some team. And Amari Cooper was given a day 452 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: yesterday his hamstring and basically he was talking today and 453 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: he was out there in pads, and I would imagine 454 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: maybe limited. He didn't do every snap in team, but 455 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: I bet he did enough. And then Dorin's Armstrong is 456 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: still out, did not practice. Trayvon Diggs wasn't even on 457 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: the injury reports, so whatever that back tightness was must 458 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: have loosened up in two days, so he's good to go. 459 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph working on the cord, so that was good 460 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: to see, as was Cooper and Zeke during the special 461 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: teams h portion of practice. So from an injury stampoint, 462 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: it looks like they're doing pretty good. And it's hard 463 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: to tell with the Giants. You guys, they had six 464 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: guys that didn't practice yesterday, but it was a walkthrough practice, 465 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: so that was basically an estimation of what might or 466 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: might not happen. But four of those guys were considered 467 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: starters Jabrill Peppers, Sterling Shepherd, Darius Slayton, and actually Andrew 468 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: Thomas and Leonard Williams, so five. So anyway, and what 469 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: I've read about Andrew Thomas, he's coming around. You know, 470 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: he was a fourth pick in the draft last year. 471 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: He was coming around at the end of last year 472 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: blend of last year, and they're really pretty happy. And 473 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: if we want to spend a little time on the Giants, 474 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: I think the guy that's really come around is Daniel Jones. 475 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: He obviously played his best game, probably of his career 476 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: against the Saints. And what he did. He completed twenty 477 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: eight of forty passes for four hundred and two yards. 478 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: That was a career high. He averaged ten yards an 479 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: attempt in a quarterback rating of one oh eight point five. 480 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: So uh, that was probably his best game. And then 481 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: because he had a good game, that may meant Jason 482 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: Garrett had a good game as an offensive coordinator, right, 483 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: mister conservative. They were worried that Jason wasn't what flamboyant 484 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: enough would his play calls, uh, and so uh they 485 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,479 Speaker 1: were kind of down on him. But I see in 486 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: that game that, uh, he must have called a screen 487 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: pass to se Quon Barkley that went for fifty four year. 488 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: It was actually it was like like a wheel route, 489 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: wheel side streaking down the sideline. Because they was he 490 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: was getting credit for a screen that he threw. I 491 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: assumed it was that and then there was the fifty 492 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: two yard or to John Ross I believe. Uh, so 493 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: they had some very big plays in that game. Uh 494 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: and uh when you looked at uh Barkley, he had 495 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six yards from scrimmage against the Saints. 496 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: They totally four hundred and eighty five. They're most since 497 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen for the Giants. So it looks like they're improving. 498 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: And I think the point is, don't let one in 499 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: three record cloud your opinion of where the Giants are 500 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, they're they're they're improving at one in three, 501 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: They're they're one in three with a bullet. Isn't that 502 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: how they say? That's that's a good one they I mean, 503 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: they could easily be two and two if a guy 504 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: doesn't jump off sides on a field goal attempt by 505 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: Washington a few weeks ago. And then you can also 506 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: take into account the Atlantic game. They lost on the 507 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: last second field goal in that game too. They had 508 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: a lead in blew it in that game. Um and 509 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: in fact, I think a Dorry Jackson dropped an interception, 510 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: a potential interception that would have sealed the deal in 511 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: that game too. Yeah. Then then the wide receiver missed 512 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think it out to touchdown game as well. Yeah, 513 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: that was another one too. And they you know that 514 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: they've improved their wide receiver corps from what they had 515 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: last year. Uh. You know last year they had Sterling 516 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: Shepherd and Darius Slayton. They they're both hurt last week. 517 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: We'll see if they'll be able to play this week 518 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: or not. But they they signed Kenny Golladay in the 519 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: off season. They drafted Kadarius Tony in the first round 520 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: and he had his first game against the Saints where 521 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: he actually had had some really good production. He had 522 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: six catches for seventy eight yards. Uh. And Isaiah Stanback 523 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: did a little segment for the Coaches Show that we 524 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: just did on the telestrator segment with him. He showed 525 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: some of the creativity that Jason Garrett is showing about that. Uh. 526 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: It was a little comeback route on ah. That was 527 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: a very quarterback friendly pass to Kadarius Tony and a 528 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: lot of yards after catch that he illustrates on there. 529 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, when I saw the Giants 530 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: take Tony, I said, oh boy, that's a great pick 531 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: because I watched enough of him at Florida, and boy, 532 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: that guy's no joke. I mean you got to watch 533 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: out for him. And keep in mind what they did 534 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: on that was if you remember, on Draft Day, the Cowboys, 535 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: of course, traded with the Eagles, traded down two spots, 536 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: Eagles moved up, took Davante Smith. Giants were picking next, 537 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: and since Davante Smith was off the board, they traded 538 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: back with Chicago. Chicago took Justin Fields and the Giants 539 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: by trading back, picked up another first and they picked 540 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: up Kadarius Tony. And so they probably had their eyes 541 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: on Davante Smith and had Tony ranked right behind him. 542 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: Probably he reminds me a little bit of Deebo Samuel 543 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: and maybe a little bit of Seedee Lamb. The their 544 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: ability to run with the football, get it, and that 545 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: combination is not good. But he's smaller, he's smaller than 546 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: that big and he's smaller. This is this is a 547 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: Jordan this is a Jordan Lewis assignment. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 548 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: and and and maybe a safety over the top two 549 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: by the way, So yeah, they'll have their hands to 550 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: put somebody with the bricks in his pocket on that dude. 551 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if Jordan has bricks in his pocket, 552 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: you're somebody like what you're talking about, Well, whether you 553 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: need to get go a little bit bigger. Let's let's 554 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: put you jay Ron on it. Let's put no, no, no, 555 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: he's a smaller guy. And yeah this because Mickey mentioned CD. 556 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: Yeah he's not that big. Yeah, he's not that big, 557 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: but he's he's a he's a good shifty slot guy 558 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: with some moves and and what he was talking about, 559 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: what Mickey's talking about his yards after the catch, the 560 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: ability that CD has to run after the catch so much. Yeah, 561 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: time Deebo, Samuel and Samuel too. This guy, this guy 562 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: can scoot, let me tell you so. Yeah, you gotta 563 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: watch out for him. And keep in mind remember last 564 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: year when Garrett came in here and he showed a 565 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: little creativity down on the goal line. I believe it 566 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: was tight end Evan Ingraham on a little tight end 567 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: end a round to score a touchdown the first touchdown 568 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 1: of the game. I think, and uh, well, you know what, 569 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 1: that's funny you bring that up because the sarcastic remark 570 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: I saw in one of the New York area newspaper was, yeah, 571 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: he's getting a little bit more creative than Evan Ingram 572 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: on a tight end to run. But I remember thinking 573 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: of times you can't win, right. I remember thinking that. 574 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: When it happened, I'm like, oh, you can tell Garrett. 575 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 1: Garrett has fired up about this return home. He wants 576 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: to he hears all this love giving the Kellen Moore 577 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 1: on his creative play calling and oh, man has got 578 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: to be burning him up. Guys, that's funny that you 579 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: brought that up. Bill. I'm sure like like jee stall 580 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: Is said that just chaps my ass. Saying that with 581 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: that deep drawl of his. Uh you know brand yes, Chaps, 582 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: And you know what the other thing um when we 583 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: were talking about and not to go back to Jalen, 584 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: but one of the other things I think we were 585 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 1: pointing out without saying, you don't need a progress stopper. 586 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 1: If he's not going forward, you don't want to stop 587 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: somebody else. And I think the natural reaction from everybody 588 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: was Okay, now we're going to see Jabril Cox. Well 589 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: McCarthy was asked about it. Yeah, And McCarthy was asked 590 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: about it yesterday and he didn't give that a huge endorsement, like, 591 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,439 Speaker 1: oh yeah, now he's going to get a whole bunch 592 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: of snaps. He basically said, well, yeah, he's getting better. Uh, 593 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: And you know, it's there's a lot of competition to 594 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: get on that forty eight man game day roster, and 595 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,280 Speaker 1: right now he's he's doing a better job on special teams. 596 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: And he kind of left it at that, so there 597 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: was no suggestion that suddenly Jabril Cox is going to 598 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: spring forward and be a starting linebacker. They like Layton 599 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: Vanderish and I can't emphasize that enough. I like Layton Vanderish. 600 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: Even when this season started. I said, you know, we 601 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: don't know yet what Parsons is going to do, but 602 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: this guy's the best linebacker on the team. And I 603 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: think they finally coming around to that opinion of him. 604 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: That's the irony of what Layton is talking about. And 605 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: he hurts because his friend is no longer on the team, 606 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: But it's actually going to benefit Layton because now he's 607 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: going to have more snaps. And you know, and the 608 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: other thing is from a salary cap standpoint for next year, 609 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 1: you know, they would like to resign him if they 610 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: could afford him. They would like to resign Michael Gallup 611 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: if they can Reford him. They would like to resign 612 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory if they can afford him. So you need 613 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 1: to start looking, as they said, big picture. It's not 614 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: all about the cap now, it's about planning for the 615 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 1: future too. And if you weren't going to keep him around, 616 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: then there was no sense keeping him around in chance 617 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: in the injury happening that would guarantee the contract next year. 618 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: All right, time to take a another brook fin when 619 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: you talk about no go ahead? Okay, sorry, all right? 620 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: And Everson has something very very important, very import that 621 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: he's about to say next here on shot big news. Gary, 622 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: are you okay? Oh? I'm not Gary anymore. I'm Jackie Flash. 623 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,919 Speaker 1: What see?

Okay, we have 663 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: just about five minutes left here, and how about an 664 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: update on the Lyle Collins situation. As I quit law 665 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: school afterwar one a month because it gave you tired head, 666 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: should be tired head. I cannot follow this and so Bicky, 667 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: would you please? I'm reading as much as I can, 668 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: and it sounds pretty confusing that you know they've had 669 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: an appeal going on. After the appeal was overturned by 670 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: the NFL and ended up what was gonna be a 671 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: two game suspension, they gave him a five game suspension, 672 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: and now they're appealing to try to get him back 673 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: as soon as possible, meaning to try to get back 674 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: for those final two games. So I heard people saying, well, 675 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: what's why go through the trouble. You already served three 676 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: game suspension. You're probably even if they overturn it, you're 677 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: not playing this week. So that's like a four game suspension, 678 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: and then you only got one game left after that, 679 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,280 Speaker 1: and then there's the buy you might not play until 680 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: the next week. Well, here's the bottom line on this thing. 681 00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: Not only is he suspended, he is suspended without So 682 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: there's a monetary figure in there that if I can 683 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: get two more games of payback, Uh, then uh you know, 684 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 1: I'll take that in a five file suit against the NFL, 685 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: which I don't does anybody ever win that? Uh? Then 686 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: maybe I get all five games. And that's what they're after. 687 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: So it's not so much Oh, they're helping out the cowboys. 688 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: They're helping out the bottom line. Uh, And that's what 689 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: this is all about right now. So it's in a 690 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: court case now in Colin County. And the last thing 691 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 1: I read the judge that was going to hear this 692 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: was the judge that UM overturned the decision of the 693 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: NFL on Ezekiel Elliott in twenty seventeen. I believe it 694 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: was yes, it was amos yes. And then that case 695 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: ended up in some sort of appeals court in New 696 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: Orleans and that and that court ruled in favor of 697 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: the NFL, so his six game suspension withstood. So anyway, 698 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: that's what's going on right now in the legal ease world. 699 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: And I understand why Bill left the law for future. 700 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:21,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't in the law profession yet, literally literally, Everson. 701 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: I made it through one month of law school without 702 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: ever getting called on in class, but I do. I 703 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: knew it was gonna happen sooner rather than later, and 704 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: so I better get out while they getting is good. 705 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,879 Speaker 1: And so I went to Lubbock, Texas and became a sportscaster, 706 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: making making in twelve thousand dollars a year. Instead, after 707 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 1: I retired, uh, I had an opportunity to be a 708 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: you know, a money manager and get into all those 709 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,720 Speaker 1: stocks and all that kind of stuff sounded so sexy. 710 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: You know, I'm back in the nineties, mid nineties, and 711 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: I had all kind of opportunities. They gave me a 712 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: tutor and everything. I know numbers. You know, I'm a 713 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: numbers guy. I think I took this Series six exam, 714 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,919 Speaker 1: it's what they call it. I flunked it twice, Bill, 715 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: I funked it twice. Right, this is not for me. 716 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: This is not for me. Oh, it was such a disappointment. 717 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: That's one of the things I said, You know what, 718 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 1: I think I dodged a bullet there, because I would 719 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: have been way over my head. It happens. I had 720 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: a college roommate that flunked an accounting class twice, and 721 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 1: he was taking it a third time, right, and it 722 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: was the same professor, And before the final exam the professor, 723 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: the professor called him in and said, look, can you 724 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: just get a D. I'll give you a D and 725 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: you can pass, okay, And I think he passed with 726 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: the D the third time. Man, Sometimes numbers don't make 727 00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: sense to people. We all and we know our limitations. 728 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: Speaking of numbers done, do you know how much what 729 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: what is lyles per game? That's what I didn't write down. 730 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 1: But he's he's I think he's probably lost. Oh boy, 731 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: it's got to be close to one hundred thousand, right, 732 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 1: it's more. It's gotta be more than that. Two well, okay, 733 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: I called up his called up his now his way salary. Okay, 734 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: I mean, because I guess he redid his contract or 735 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: it was part of his contract. He's at basically a 736 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: veteran minimum amount one point one million. Yeah, but he's 737 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 1: probably already paid part of that, right, Okay. So basically, 738 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean at one point one million, that's like sixty 739 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars a game. So for five games, it's 740 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: like three hundred and ten thousand dollars total, sixty four 741 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: and four. So I mean you divide about eighteen weeks, now, 742 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,720 Speaker 1: don't you? Yeah, eighteen, I did seventeen, so you're right, yeah, 743 00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: so times four times five five weeks weeks? What did 744 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: you get? It's three hundred ten thousand. Yeah. I was 745 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: gonna say two weeks. Okay, so you're you're in the ballpark, 746 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,919 Speaker 1: all right, Okay, yeah, so and two more. Now you're 747 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: getting into four hundred thousand, right, Well, I mean no, 748 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: it was sixty per per week. It was sixty thousand 749 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: or so. Oh okay, based on the one point one 750 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: million dollars salary whatever. Yeah, I mean it's significant. He's 751 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,919 Speaker 1: lost that much already. Yeah, and you would two more 752 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: weeks to go. No, No, that total was for a 753 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 1: five Oh you get five okay, all right, So anyway, 754 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 1: it's so it was about one hundred and eighty thousand. 755 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 1: It is what a or close to one hundred and 756 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 1: ninety thousand he's missed out on right now, right, So 757 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: it's still so funny. He's a guy with that kind 758 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 1: of talent and he's kind of making like obviously the 759 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,720 Speaker 1: minimum wage. So now, but he already got this signing 760 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: making big money. No, he already made the big money. 761 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: He made the big money. That the way the contract 762 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: for salary cap purposes, the contract is where he's got 763 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,319 Speaker 1: his bonus money and now the week to week he 764 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: makes this. See, sometimes it's very profitable to restructure because 765 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: you get your money ahead of time. Right, Like the 766 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 1: when did he restructure last year? Maybe? Okay, I don't 767 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 1: think it was this year, was okay, So it wasn't 768 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,800 Speaker 1: it was last year or it wasn't with this looming 769 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: that Okay, we can maybe we can offset some of 770 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 1: this loomings been Yeah, well it's been looming since last year. Yeah, 771 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 1: so there you go. That was added added incentive. You 772 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: go ahead and restructure. Yeah, I mean, I'd like the 773 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: rest of us that have to work for our money 774 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,919 Speaker 1: and then get paid. It's not like you need any 775 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: incentive they're offering. I mean you've already you're getting the money. 776 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: You're just getting it up front now, and so, uh, 777 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 1: you don't need any more incentive than that. Yeah, I'll 778 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,240 Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and take that money up front. Yeah, absolutely, 779 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 1: all right, we're out of time on this sorrow. We're 780 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 1: going to discuss maybe a little bit more on Dak 781 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 1: returning to the scene the injury. Hey with the New 782 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 1: York Giants in town? Who the team he got hurt against? 783 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be one year almost to the day. 784 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: Three sixty five is tomorrow, right, three Sunday, No Saturday, 785 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: because Sunday or Monday. Sunday would be a year and 786 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 1: a day right now at Monday would be the anniversary. No, 787 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: it would be on the on the eleventh. But if 788 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: you're counting days, right, sixty four days, three sixty five Okay, 789 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: we'll figure that out by tomorrow at one thirty, last 790 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: Sunday counted for our next edition.
