We do it yet, 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.159 what are we doing? It's a it's a talking thing. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.480 I thought it was dak warm enough before the game. 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.959 I want to hear about it. I don't know even 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.640 know where it started, but it started it I started. 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.600 It always starts the snow you started. It's like the 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:04.559 bush Whackers from the WWF WWE from like thirty years ago. 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.280 It just becomes our sign off and sign on. I 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.280 love it. I love it. I'd love to see Mickey 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.800 do it. Show him how it's done. No chance, show 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.760 him how it's done. It's like to swim them back 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:19.679 in nineteen sixty seven. Come on, Mick, I want to 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.240 do Dax thing. What's that? What was that? That's that's 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.880 how it warms up? Oh you here you go. God, 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.000 I donate a pitcheck to see that. Let's get up 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.920 to do it. There, Mickey, we can do it. I'm 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.119 not gonna do it. We can do it. So Isaiah 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.840 started that. Yeah, Isaiah starts all the fun stuff. You 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.080 know what. Okay, I'm glad that you brought up Isaiah 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.640 stand Back because I just I came in here a 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.080 little late because I was just doing a telestrators segment 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.960 with Isaiah stand Back and I want to make this 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.320 point right off the top. Isaiah Standback is one of 0:01:55.360 --> 0:02:01.000 the rising stars in broadcasting his work on the telestrator 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.440 each we of course we did a preseason game, the 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:08.640 first preseason game this year in Arizona, and listening on 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.600 the podcast and everything, but when you when you sit 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.840 there and do a telestrator segment with him, it really 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.080 comes to light exactly how much he knows about the 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.600 game and how he can communicate in the spirit that 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.480 he has and so forth. I mean, he is a 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.480 rising star in this provom. Well, my guess is nobody 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.280 in this room played quarterback before Ben Right, He's a 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.840 former quarterback's the thing, and he was a wide receiver 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.840 here for a couple of years. But he's been with 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.760 the Patriots with Tom Brady. He's been on a Giants 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.600 team that won the Super Bowl. He's been, He's been around. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.760 He's been in some programs that have that know what 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.840 they're doing. Has he been here? Was he here with 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:53.200 Tony Romo? Or was that before Romo? It was with Romo? Yeah, yep, 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.680 that's right, yep. And played quarterback University of Washington, irs 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.040 Man Seattle as well. Yes, he did. He needed to 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.959 have showed up earlier if here and took over for 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.560 Quincy Carter, right, I tried, if he would have just 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.560 come along three or four years soon enough. Well, Romo 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.960 was here at that point too, so he would have 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.200 been competing with Romo. But anyway, Romo wasn't Romo yet 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.320 at that point. Yeah. But and he played a little 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.440 receiver in college, but mainly at quarterback at Washington. But 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.560 what Cowboys and NFL teams saw in him was that athleticism. 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.560 What I see in him is his aptitude and his 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.440 communication skills. You better slow down, he take your spot. 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.560 Broadcasting networks out there need to be on the ball 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.280 for him. All right, Let's get to the news of 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.560 the day, Mickey. What is the news of the day? 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.560 I guess it was the news of yesterday. Right. Um. 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:51.920 Evidently Demante Kaz didn't listen to Mike McCarthy's lecture on 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.160 Monday about everybody making sure they take care of themselves, 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.320 take care of your teammates, and spend time with your 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.560 family and friends. And I don't think staying out to 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.920 three am on Tuesday morning was part of that lecture. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:12.760 So he gets pulled over and charged with a DWI. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:21.520 So he didn't listen. And as we know, when coaches 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.560 have a bye week, their biggest fear is the phone call. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.000 They're gonna get that phone call when they put their 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.760 head on the pillow and it's like, oh, I don't 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.760 want to hear that phone ring. But it did, I guess, 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.720 and uh yeah, so got himself in a little bit 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.080 of trouble. I don't know how much that affects him 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.960 with the team here because those things usually take a 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.240 long time to process. But we'll see what goes on. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.960 And that's one of the questions that fans have is 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.560 as far as in the in the system in the NFL, 0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:01.840 and nobody knows if if he was already entered or yeah, yeah, 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.240 like if it was a previous It's all private information 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.479 until you get to a point where you're in suspension mode. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.400 So yeah, and that's with the personal conduct policy in 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.960 the league. I don't have a great sense of, like 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:20.120 you know, a callie or a system of what punishment 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.480 might be for something like this. I don't. I don't know, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.800 because the league is in the past, is kind of 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.120 they'll pick and choose, or or it is like you said, 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.120 or it's private and you don't really know everything that 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.000 may have or have not happened in the past, you know. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.560 But that's something to keep an eye on over the 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.320 next few weeks. I guess. I don't know if it 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.640 would be something immediate, but we'll have to see. And 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.039 what I worry about is obviously we dominated the news 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.840 cycle anyway from the winning streak, but this isn't good news. 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.520 I mean winning the winning the bye week is what 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.640 this has all been about, and making sure guys are 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.599 doing the right thing, and that's not a step in 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:57.280 the right direction on the first day. Yeah, coach has 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.920 always feared unstructured time, you know, the unstructured time between 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.679 the last mini camp in the summer and the start 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.680 of training camp. They always worry about that, and they 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.880 always worry about the bye week and That is one 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:17.480 reason why when Bill Parcels was here, and this was 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:21.040 before the news CBA, when it was mandated that they 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.400 had to have four days off in a row and 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.839 two of them had to be on the weekend. Before that, 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:34.040 Bill would give them like Tuesday and Wednesday off schedule practice, Thursday, 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:39.800 Friday and Saturday and Sunday would be to be determined, right, 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.600 And he knew he was giving them off, but he 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.200 didn't want them to know. So if they were going 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:50.000 to leave on Friday, you're not you're not making to 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.039 the last minute, and you're paying a thousand dollars for 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.800 a plane fight but to go somewhere. But hasn't the 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.800 CBA provided more restrictions on how much you can put 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:01.680 the players on the field during the week. I mean, 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.000 Mike's giving him the whole week off. Yeah, I said, 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.880 they have to have four consecutive days. It's four consecutive days, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.520 and it has to include the weekend, okay or Monday okay, 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.440 So it could be Friday through Monday or Thursday through Sunday. Right, 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.440 And he basically gave him and and I understand why 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.000 he did it. I mean, they had him here on 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.680 Monday some of the guys will come in and work 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.560 out and get some conditioning in. But this is ten 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.239 weeks in a row if you count the four preseason games, 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.320 and I know all the starters didn't play in the 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.520 four preseason games, but it was still still stretch, extra 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.480 week of training going all the way back to July 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.840 twenty second. It was at h they reported the training camp. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.040 So it's been a long stretch and I think he 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.960 is very cognizant of giving guys breaks to make sure 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.880 they're not worn out. You got another game this year, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.600 so yeah, I don't have any problems with what he did. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:59.760 But again, you know Bill's Bill's whole deal was don't 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.720 go back to the old stomping grounds, like go back 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.480 to the old school for homecoming, right, and there is 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.760 no time for homecomings, And there was something, there was 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:13.880 some sense to his message. And the Cowboys aren't the 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.000 only team doing this. There are several teams around the 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.240 league that are giving them the whole week off. And 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.160 as you point out, when you look at you, now 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.480 you're adding another game to seventeen game and if you've 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.840 got designs on the postseason, and this team appears to 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.760 be in that position, I mean, we're taught. I did 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.439 the math on it. I think the next game against Minnesota, 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.760 if you were to map out the entire season where 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.200 you go to from training camp to the super Bowl, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.400 that would be the halfway point of the journey is 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.040 basically on Halloween. If you just number of days, and 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.280 so from a game number of games standpoint, you're looking 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.720 at four preseason games in this case for this team, 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.160 and then that would be the seventh, eighth week of 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:07.920 the season, seventh game game, and then going forward you 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.000 got ten more regular season games, and then at least 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:18.120 three more postseason games. I mean that get and so 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.959 that's why. And man, we taped the Mike McCarthy show 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.400 last night and he was talking about how he compartmentalizes 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.840 the season and and that's why he likes the way 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.400 this season breaks down. Where he's got this break right now, 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.760 he can get him away for a full week and 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.640 still come back. The other thing that's beautiful about this 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.080 bye week is the fact the Vikings are also on 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.080 a buy this week, and so even for the coaching staff, 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.000 normally h on a bye week, the coaching staff would 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.200 get together and go ahead and scout on Sunday the 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.560 game that of their next opponent they don't have to, 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.120 but they won't have one. Yeah, that's right, and I 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.600 think Mike Mike talked about it breaking it up. So 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.280 this was six weeks and then the after clue buy 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.719 in five games is six more weeks, right, and then 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.520 six more weeks because they get the mini buy after 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.960 the two straight Thursday games the first of December, and 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.680 so it works out great as far as that goes. 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.720 Now you just got to have some personal responsibility and 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.400 be ready for the three consecutive of away games the 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.600 first of December. Now, guys, how do you how do 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.560 you like view Obviously football players look at the season 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.680 and quarters, but now that you have an extra game 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.120 to look at it that way. But so far as 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.160 far as your assessment of this team is if you 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.400 looked at it a quarter of the way, how do you, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.199 guys assess this team so far doing what they should 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:41.680 have done? Well? I said that beforehand they need if 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.760 if they're going to get to the playoffs, they need 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.120 to make hay the first six games of the season, 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.280 and they've done that. That's right. And five and one 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.040 is basically you know you'd love to go six and oh, 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.520 but five and one was about the most you could expect, 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.480 you know, and just the way this team is playing. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.160 And the other part of it is the guys they 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.520 have in reserve. I mean, we got the trade deadline 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.440 coming up here in a couple of weeks, and it's 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.959 like with the guys that are about to come off 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.600 injured reserve, they're going to be acquiring players at the 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.439 trade deadline, their own players at the trade deadline. That's fours, 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.200 at least four starters. A starting wide receiver Michael Gallop okay, 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.640 two starting defensive lineman at least to enter the season 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.960 Neville Gallimore and the Tank Lawrence Tank. That's three. Kelvin 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.600 Joseph's the second round draft pick at corner, who I'm 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.560 just saying provides depth at a key position. And a 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.040 guy that would have been starting with Lawrence out Dorin's Armstrong. 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.800 We forget about him because they didn't put him on IR. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.560 He's still on the roster, so he's coming back. Tristan 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.960 hill On pup who now after now after six weeks, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.199 they're not practicing this week as eligible to start. He's 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.240 almost like the forgotten guy he really is. And and 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.720 another forgotten guy that was going to compete I think 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.960 for the backup swing tackle was Josh Ball the four 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.959 around draft really and he never got an opportunity because, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.439 what was it, a week or so into trening camp, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.480 two weeks he suffered the injury and you know he's 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.600 been rehabbing ever since. So not to mention your third 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.080 tight end, who I mean, Sean mccough probably was going 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:17.880 to be the third tight end. He might help be 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.400 ready this yeah, this next game, because he's been working 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.240 out pretty significantly out there. So so, yeah, the reinforcements 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.240 are coming in over the hill, and a lot of 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.040 and a lot of changes this roster are going to 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.920 be made. Yeah, you gotta figure it out, right, Well, 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.520 you gotta make room for him. Okay, we had one yesterday. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.920 Of course, le Collins is back on the fifty three 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:46.040 and Nickston guy, Yeah, yeah, you go starting right tackle. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.640 By the way, it's like Pro Bowl caliber player and 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.160 so and so. Right now, they're across their fingers that 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.240 Ralston doesn't get claimed and he can go on the 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.840 practice squad like Brandon Knight right right, got claimed. Yeah, 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.640 because they had to make they decided to make rooms. 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:04.080 So yeah, and that just shows you that there's just 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:08.920 a lack of quality offensive alignement out there that somebody 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.520 would just scoop up Brandon Night because they will see 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.240 he started I don't know what, maybe ten games last 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.440 year something like that at left tackle by the way. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:22.040 So yeah, there's a lack of quality offensive alignment out there, 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.640 you know. In the case of Kelvin Joseph, now we'll 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.360 see where he is, not only physically but just as 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.880 far as making the transition into the NFL and so forth. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.440 But I would think it as they set things up 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:38.360 going into this season, the idea of being that he 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.760 would compete in training camp, preseason with Anthony Brown. He 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.200 got Anthony Brown as a starter, and if he developed 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.480 the way they wanted him developed by mid season, he 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.960 would be in a position to be a starter on 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.320 this team. And so now we don't know where he 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.840 is because of the injury and so forth. But I 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.800 think to your point, Rob on Kelvin Joseph, he's a 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.720 guy that was in the plans who would be getting 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.800 snaps on defense for sure, as you expected as a 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.080 second round draft pick by mid season. Yeah, and that's 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.200 a position we've talked about on our show where you 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.600 can't ever have enough depth. I mean, you need at 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.400 least three, really four corners that you feel good about, 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.880 inspecially where they're playing defense. Yeah. Absolutely, And look it 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.240 just happened on Sunday. Maurice Kennedy, who really hasn't played 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.320 much yet this season but they like him, gets a concussion. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.560 Things can happen and all of a sudden, I mean 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.400 we talk about it. I mean you mentioned to me 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.920 this morning questions about oh, they have too much wide 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.280 receiver depth on the fan, and I get that conversation. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.800 It was on our website mailbag. But like depth is 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.840 great and a good problem until you don't have depth anymore. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.600 You just mentioned there's seventeen games this season. A lot 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.360 can happen, Guys can get hurt, and you're gonna feel 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.640 lucky that you do have And if they were playing 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.280 this week with Kennedy in concussion protocol and the Sean 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.320 Wright would be the next guy the fourth corner instead 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.240 of the fifth corner, and that was something you would 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.600 have thought Kelvin Joseph would have served. Now he got 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.040 off to a slow start, so he I don't think 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.640 was ever going to compete for a starting job, but 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.400 as a depth person. You know, I'm go back to 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:20.160 your talking, right, Joseph. Yeah, and uh, you know, and 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.840 go back to Kevin Smith's first year. You know, he 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.040 didn't start till the tenth gaming and it took a 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.760 while because they trusted I Colt and then they finally 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.760 got him in there. That was his sophomore season, second 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.160 half of his rookie year. He's a sophomore, right, yeah, exactly. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.720 And then he took over and then and then chest 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.960 it up with Jerry Rice in the NFC title game. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.760 And you talk about when going back to Anthony Brown, 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.880 oh v Kelvin, Joseph, just think about where you were 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.680 with Anthony Brown at the beginning of the season. He 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.520 was almost like the odd man out. He's really turned 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.360 it around, even for me. I think on our show, 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.240 I've criticized Anthony Brown and talked about his lack of 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:06.640 production from years past. But man, he's never healthy. Yeah, 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.800 think about it, and I don't think healthy. Yeah, and 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.440 a lot of these guys aren't. But I'm saying as 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.920 far as you when you're looking at their statistics and saying, Okay, 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.400 this is a guy that you realize. Next two, treyvon 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.600 Digs is going to compete and you don't think there's 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.920 a one A and one B. I think everyone was 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:21.960 thinking that, oh man, this is the odd guy out. 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.480 We're gonna get Kelvin Josephine. And he never Kelvin joseph 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.720 even in training camp, could take over what Anthony Brown 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.160 was doing. And I believe it was Al Harris that 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:36.000 even complimented Brown on just the progression that he's making 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.440 within this system. So I'm really happy about that. And 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.760 I love the fact that we do have depth. And yeah, 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.880 I don't know if too much depth is a bad 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.040 thing because we've gone through those lean years where we 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.080 had none at all. Ye and all he had to 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.360 do on Anthony Brown is follow the money. I mean, 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.560 they didn't resign him to a three year deal out 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.880 of just okay, we got some money here, let's sign 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.840 this guy. They had confidence in him. He just needed 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.680 to stay healthy now and he finally has and now 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:06.040 he has confidence in himself. Yes, I think I think 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.240 part of that is the success Trey Von is having 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.639 with these picks. I think it's gets contagious on this 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.400 team that the whole mindset and you know what, there's 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.840 just a confidence thing. I thought on the seventy five 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:23.000 yard touchdown pass that he just got his butt whipped. 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.679 I went back and looked at it, and if it 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:30.119 wasn't for crazy Kaz coming in like a madman, I 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.359 think he would have gone and picked the ball off. 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.280 He keep pulled up. It was kind of like a flyball. Yes, 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.920 and you're not sure who's who's taking it because he's 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:42.040 getting ready. Yeah. Yeah, he needed to call for it. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:46.760 It was a weird somebody should Yeah, And then Kaz 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.280 pulled up and did a drive by instead of going 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.399 and making the tack. If he would have made that tackle, 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.400 he'd have got fifteen yards. That's it's better than seventy 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.560 five right now. And again when we talked about it 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.960 on our show, about that whole sequence that play from 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.600 right there, you talk about Diggs getting it the pick 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.120 six and then the next play if he had gotten 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.800 that interception, boy, I mean your your typewriter would have explode. 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.280 Not typewright, I'm joking with you, Mickey, but you'd have 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.680 had plenty to write about if he undercut that coun 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.800 to cut it. But you gotta see over the top 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:25.080 case had the legitimate opportunity and maybe just understanding the 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.600 defense like Digs does. He probably thought, man, there's no 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.040 way he's not gonna get this pick, and probably was 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.120 really shocked that mac Jones even threw the ball. Yeah, 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.879 seemed to work out pretty well that they would that 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.160 you would have headed score and give the offensive ball 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:40.560 and didn't give him a chance to go down and 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.400 kick a field going force overtime and winning it overtime, 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.800 just the way they planned right, right, just the way 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:48.720 they planned it. If if he gets stopped for a 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.160 fifteen yard game, then they might go down and score 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:52.960 a touchdown and don't have time to get the ball back. 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.560 That was just a weird play altogether. I could not 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.480 believe just the emotional swing from the pick six to 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.760 you think you got the game one and then oh, 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.720 twenty seconds later, here we go again. I mean, it 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.440 made it reached a point where they had the game 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.399 in the bag. I mean, if the Cowboys don't convert 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:15.520 third and twenty five games. But that's that's this offense 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:20.880 they are every trying. I was trying to say where 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.560 I wrote my notes that gun mix shots. We're going 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:29.959 to find out what else Mickey has on his legal pad.
