00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati on Sunday. And are we ever the place to

00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: get you fired up for some football? Here's the way

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: I look at it, Everson Walls and Mickey Spagnola, What

11
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: are we gonna be doing a month from now? A

12
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: month from now, January eleventh, In all likelihood, there probably

13
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: won't be a Cowboy game coming up on Sunday whatever Friday.

14
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: That is so here we are here, we are here,

15
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: we are this is the game. This is in Okay.

16
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 1: We got to get fired up for some football because

17
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: before you know it, and let's say the Cowboys do

18
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: make this historic run all the way to Super Bowl

19
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: fifty five in Tampa two months from now, we won't

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: have football to talk about. We won't have a game

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: to look forward to a year from now, is what

22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: you mean? Two months and one year from now. Yeah,

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: they and the Cowboys won't be playing for the super Bowl.

24
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: There there you go. All right, we'll figure out how

25
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: they're going to get to Super Bowl fifty six then.

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 1: But first things first, we are now less than forty

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: eight hours away from kickoff in Cincinnati, and Mickey, it's

28
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: time to get ready for some football. Absolutely, I mean

29
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: they're playing Cincinnati, right, We got got to get going

30
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: despite mister the missilem Michael Irvin basically saying if they

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: don't win this game, it's time to shovel dirt on

32
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: this season and put an rip. I love that. I

33
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: love it. He could be Hey, he could partner it

34
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: with you, spags. I love that combination. But dirt and

35
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: mister pessimist all together again, that'd be great. But he's right.

36
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: You lose this one and you're down. Who knows you

37
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: get me down three with three to go, right, and

38
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: and if Washington wins, then your your toast. So yeah,

39
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: it's all on the line in Cincinnati. I got up.

40
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: I got up this morning, and I don't know how

41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: I got to it. I was on my phone. Next

42
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: thing I know of here comes Spags pops up again

43
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: in his nice suit on his little show on TV.

44
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: And you pointed out something. You said that the Bengals

45
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: were the last and I couldn't be paraphrasing here, the

46
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: last place team when it comes to running the football?

47
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Actually their thirtieth thirtieth, the thirtieth and

48
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: running the ball. So here we do. We come in

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: with thirty second right versus the run. I got that lockdowns,

50
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: we got that a lot, baby, We're proud of that.

51
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: We're proud of that. And that's an improvement. Actually we've improved.

52
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: So from the so, so here we are. Burrows is

53
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: out right, Burrow is out? Yeah, Okay, who's the backup?

54
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: That would be Brandon Allen? Oh, come on, man, who

55
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: is that? Don't tell me, don't tell me. He is

56
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: a Texas high school football player who went to the

57
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: state championship and Bill knows his entire No, no, please

58
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: don't tell Arkansas he would be Arkansas state champion. It

59
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: would University of Arkansas. So you know, the Joneses are

60
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: very familiar with Brandon Allen. We've got the scouting report

61
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: on this quarterback this week. Okay, Brandon Allen is not

62
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: going to do any damage. The problem has not been

63
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: necessarily at the quarterback. And Brandon Allen doesn't run the

64
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: football like Kyler Murray does, like a Lamar Jackson does,

65
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: like even a Daniel Jones does. And so lockdown is

66
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: this show is going right back to our m much optimism.

67
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: We are going to be optimistic on this show. This

68
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: might be the last chance for us to be optimistic

69
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: on this show as a unit. As a unit, you know,

70
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: usually it's Bill and then me and Spas is always

71
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: out of it. But this time we have a chance

72
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: it for all three of us to be in unison.

73
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: Am I right? That we can win this ball game?

74
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: All all four remaining opponents have losing records. How's that?

75
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: That's tells me nothing? That is not enough? That is

76
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: not enough? Okay, which is there's got to be more.

77
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: It's got to be there's got to be more of

78
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: a sad story. And the opponents that we're playing, so

79
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: that's rank for me. Rank them for me of the

80
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: final four opponents, Cincinnati on the road, home against San Francisco,

81
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: home against Philadelphia at the Giants, rank them one to four.

82
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: Which ones the Cowboys have the easiest has the best

83
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: chance of winning one to four, one being the best

84
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: chance to win for being the worst chance to win.

85
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: Out of the final four, well, Cincinnati's one guy one.

86
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: I would think after that, Philadelphia Giants coming up. Philadelphia's

87
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: two h San Francisco's three, only because you're playing at home,

88
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: and then the Giants are four at this point, since

89
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: they probably are playing the best of any of those teams,

90
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: and that appears the Giants will be playing for something

91
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: the last game of the season, you would think. But

92
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: Boo knows, they may have it locked up by now,

93
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: or they may have faded away. I mean, don't they

94
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: have They have the Saints this week? Is that right?

95
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: I have to look, Oh, you're gonna have to go

96
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: to the computer. Now, who do they they play? Arizona.

97
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: We've got the Cardinals. Yeah, at home? Philly flailing right now.

98
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Arizona does not look good right now at all. The

99
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Eagles play the Saints. Jalen Hurts debut, starting debut against

100
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: the Saints. Now that's an interesting dynamic there, guys. I

101
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: think I think Jalen Hurts coming in. I truly believe

102
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: that changes. Then tire Eagles team spags you have to

103
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: be very conscious of a guy who's just as good

104
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: as Lamar Jackson when it comes and running the ball,

105
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: and I think a better pass it. At this point,

106
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Lamar's passing. He's going backwards,

107
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: I would say, only because Lamar Jackson's passing has just

108
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: tanked all of a sudden. You know what I'm saying.

109
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts as a runner, he can run, but he's

110
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: not Lamar Jackson running. Okay, all right, I guess the

111
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys he could be. The Cowboys he could be. We

112
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: will see. I'm not pulling for I'm not pulling. Please

113
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: prove me wrong. But from what I've seen from the

114
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense and for I've seen from Jalen Hurts, this

115
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: guy can go. And you've seen him, you know what

116
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: he's all about. Of course, I'm not telling anything you

117
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: don't know, but I do believe when it comes to

118
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: open field, maybe not getting out of trouble the way

119
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: he Lamar can in the pocket, but when it comes

120
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: to open field and speed, I think that you've got

121
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: a problem with Jalen Hurst, just like you do with

122
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. All right, how would you compare Jalen Hurt's

123
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: running ability to Kyler Murray. Oh no, no, one compares

124
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: to Kylar, not not even Lamar being compares to Kyler

125
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: and Washington. As far as his speed, uh, I don't

126
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: think he's as fast as Kyler Murray. Oh no, way, no,

127
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. You said as far as oh

128
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: I thought you were questioning. As far as I'm saying, no, no, no, no,

129
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: as far as speed, you can't compare with Kyler Murray. Yeah,

130
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: he cannot. And it's not just the speed, it's the

131
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: quickness that goes along with the speed, right, you know,

132
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: he goes from zevo to sixty like that. That's the problem.

133
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: All right, So we got this whole thing mapped out

134
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of the month. Uh, Washington's at San Francisco,

135
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: by the way, that was the other and they're at

136
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: They're at Arizona. The play San Francisco in Arizona. Oh

137
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: that's right. Sorry, they gotta play the forty nine ers

138
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: on the road, on the road. That's right. They're both

139
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: on the road. Okay, So who wins? All right? Do

140
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: the Giants beat the Cardinals at home? Yes? I think

141
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: so too. Defense I'm looking at defense, guys, I am

142
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: looking at defense. It's gonna be tough with that, Washington

143
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: versus San Francisco, though, So, although I do want to know,

144
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the status of Blake Martinez, their linebacker.

145
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: He came out of last week's game against Seattle and

146
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: he's been a big factor in their defense. And if

147
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: he's so, if he's playing, especially with you know what

148
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Arizona does on offense, Um, I give the Giants a

149
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: good chance of winning, no doubt. Yeah, And now, okay,

150
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: how about Washington, because Washington's the problem. Let's okay, let's

151
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: just say for a moment, Okay, the Cowboys go into

152
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: sense Nati and win. Okay, We're trying right now to

153
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: get it back to within striking distance within a game

154
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: of first place. Okay, And so what has to happen

155
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: this week for that to happen. Dallas has to beat Cincinnati,

156
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: and the Giants need to lose to Arizona and Washington

157
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: has to lose to San Francisco in Phoenix. And uh yeah,

158
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: I like the way San Francisco has been playing. As

159
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: depleted as they are, they have and they've made the

160
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: most of their situation. So I like San Francisco against Washington.

161
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. I'm with you on that.

162
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: Now tell me this is now San Francio. We know

163
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: San Francisco's playing uh in Phoenix? Are they are they

164
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: stationed there? They're practicing there too. I believe they're training there,

165
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: so they're there for the whole traslation, so they don't

166
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: have to travel, right, all right, Right, So I like

167
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: San Francis. Only time they're traveling is sweek to Dallas. Yeah, okay,

168
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: I think I like San Francisco as well Spags only

169
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: because their defense is strong as well, and their running

170
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: backs they they got their running back back up most

171
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: the most dirt, most raheem mos dirt and yeah, most dirt.

172
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: And then they also usual Jeff Wilson, North Texas guy

173
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: is uh, you know, they do it. You know, they

174
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: do it by committee. But most dirt has been good, strong, yes,

175
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: and you know, and that's and that's why even with

176
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: all their injuries, they've been able to to stay in

177
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: games and be have a fighter's chance at the end.

178
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: And you know, when you look at the games, when

179
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: you look at the dynamic of when you look at

180
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: the dynamic of all the teams, the ones that were

181
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: able to keep their defense intact, Number one, and also

182
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: that offensive line. We've seen that that can be a

183
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: disaster or that can be your saving grace out of

184
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: all the issues that you have. If you can keep

185
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: your old line in place, obviously keep a quarterback as well.

186
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: If you keep your old line in place, and you

187
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: keep your defense in place, you've got a chance to

188
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: win most ball games at your end in this pandemic

189
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: era here which by the Cowboys are swinging a miss

190
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: strike one, swinging a miss strike, swinging a miss strike

191
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: three areas. So, by the way, did you happen to

192
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: hear Jerry today talking about keeping a defense in place?

193
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: By the way, yes, he was pretty outspoken about you know,

194
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: we kept the offense continuity in place. We tried to

195
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: change the defense and that was probably a big mistake. Now,

196
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: knowing that you weren't going to have an offseason, you

197
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: weren't going to have a normal training camp, you weren't

198
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: going to have preseason. Yet here we were trying to

199
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: change what we were doing defensively from a technique standpoint,

200
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: from a formation standpoint, and it just didn't work. And

201
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to that. Now, nobody knew

202
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: back when this staff was getting put together and they're

203
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: making plans for a season in February that this COVID

204
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,239
Speaker 1: night thing, nineteen thing would still be with us in December.

205
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: But I think there's something to be said to having

206
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: continuity with the offense. Meeting Kellen Moore was retained. They

207
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: didn't change the offensive concept. They might have added to it,

208
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: but they didn't try to remake it like they did defensively.

209
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: And I think Jerry said that's probably was the biggest mistake,

210
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: and when they were asking whose fault was, he said,

211
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: the GM had a lot to do with it. You're

212
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: talking to him, so think about it. Although, although I'll

213
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: keep saying this, even though they tried to dabble in

214
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: that three four stuff, which they never ever had the

215
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: personnel to do, they've been playing base basically a four

216
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: to three because they're always in their nickel. And the

217
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: most theay close to the three four and it's not

218
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: really a three four is when they put another linebacker

219
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage and they have a five

220
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: man line but one linebacker and his safety at the

221
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: linebacker spot. At this point, look, you've got it. You've

222
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: got to be better than what they are. And there's

223
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: a lot of players that are on the field that

224
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: we're on the field last year for the eleventh ranked defense.

225
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: So I think there's more to it than not being

226
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: able to adapt to a scheme. And you know, when

227
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: I think about that, Spags, it's easy to say we

228
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: kept the offense intact because you had the same old

229
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: oc Kell. I'm sitting right there. You know, everyone was

230
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: happy what was going on at the time. Dak was quarterback,

231
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: and so why change anything. But defensively, it's hard to

232
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: keep the same system when you come in with a

233
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: different DC. Mike Nolan may not have liked what we

234
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: were doing in regards to the fore man front of

235
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: what we were doing last year. So that's to me,

236
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: that's it's easier said than done. You're trying if you're

237
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: going to change, if you want to change, if you

238
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: want to keep the same defense, then you gotta at

239
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: least keep one of the coaches someone that's aware of

240
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: that eleventh ranked defense from last year. You know, you

241
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: can't tell Mike Nolan to come in and start running

242
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: someone else's defense or christ Rashard defense. To me, that

243
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. I mean, you're gonna make

244
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: the change in regards to the system. Now, technique is

245
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: one thing, Spags. If we were good at the particular

246
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: technique last year without down Lineman, then yeah we should

247
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: keep that. But in regards to the entire system, you

248
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: gotta go with Mike Nolan system. That's what you hired

249
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: the guy for. I mean, does that make sense? Yeah,

250
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: it does. So maybe when you make the hire, you

251
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: find somebody to fit your personnel and what they were

252
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: doing instead of coming in and trying to overhaul everything.

253
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: But again, as I said, they didn't know they were

254
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: going to be in this situation, right because everybody was

255
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: handed a question January and February. Well, this is going

256
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: to go away. This is just in China, right, we

257
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about this. Yeah, well we didn't

258
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: need to worry. I got a question, Mickey, Yes, Mickey,

259
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: I got a question. Let's go back to when Bill

260
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: Parcels took over. Well, Jerry did Zimmer was a defense

261
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Jerry did today and that in his interview. Also, by

262
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: the way, go ahead, Okay, I didn't I didn't hear that, Okay,

263
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: So I was just thinking about it as you're talking,

264
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: and what did Mike Zimmer do? I mean, they had

265
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: a four three defense they were running obviously, especially for

266
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: a Parcels three four defense as Everson is very familiar with.

267
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: They did not have the personnel with Dexter Copley and

268
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: that win. You know, to play fair Alice, you don't

269
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: have Lawrence Taylor. I mean, that's that's right. No, no,

270
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: but but but what they did that first year Parcels,

271
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: even though he wants to run a three four defense,

272
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: he kept the four three defense with Mike Zimmer his

273
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and then Zim in the second year, they

274
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: converted to the three four. That's when they drafted to

275
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Ware and Marcus Spears and they made the transition.

276
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: And how they do in the first year, I mean

277
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: it was incredible that they they qualified for the playoffs

278
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: that year with Quincy Carter at quarterback, and um, you know,

279
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: and I think when when the first year they stayed

280
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: the same with Quincy in two thousand and three with

281
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: Bill and then they started transit. They actually made the transition,

282
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: that's right, They actually made the transition to two thousand

283
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: and five. And as Jerry said, right, so it was

284
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: two years in. That's right. Bill wanted to remember we

285
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: were all over this because that's when we started talking cowboys.

286
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: Bill wanted to draft Marcus Spears with that first pick

287
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: in the first round, and then with the twentieth pick,

288
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: take to Marcus Where. And they said no, no, no,

289
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: we're taking to Marcus Where. And they d ended up

290
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: getting Spears who fit into a three four and Marcus

291
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: where fit a fourth three four linebacker. And then he

292
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: went on to point out and also that draft we

293
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: ended up with Chris Canny and Jay Ratliffe. So they

294
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: ended up with two players that fit in one draft

295
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: fit a defense that was a three four, and he says,

296
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: you can't always play up that way and say, okay,

297
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: we're switching and now let's go get the four key

298
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: players to fit this defense. They got very fortunate. They

299
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: can't transition. Yes they did. And the key thing on

300
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: that was that Chris Canty had the eye issue and

301
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: so his stock fell to the fourth round and rat

302
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: Leffe was at Auburn. He was just flying under the

303
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: radar for everybody, and that's why they were able to

304
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: get here what a seventh round. The other thing they

305
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: did in that draftive end the defensive tackle. Uh, and

306
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: they found a spot for him. And how about the

307
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: other thing they did in that draft in the second round,

308
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: they drafted Kevin Burnett, linebacker out of Tennessee, and who

309
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: was going to have a really nice long career in

310
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: this league if he didn't tear up his knee. But

311
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: there was another piece to that, to that defense that

312
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Yeah, so I mean, but you're right

313
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: it was. And so look at in oh three when

314
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: Parcels took over and they kept that four three defense.

315
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: Where did they rank in defense that year? They were

316
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: number two in the league in points allowed two hundred

317
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: and sixty and they were in rushing yards allowed number

318
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: three in the league fourteen hundred and twenty five yards

319
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: in two thousand and three, And so you had a

320
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: real question market quarterback in Quincy Carter on offense. And

321
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: so you played games to where you weren't getting beat

322
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: defensively and you still had a shot to win games

323
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. And Bill, if you

324
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: go back and looks if you got your if you

325
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: got your media guide out Zimmer during those five and

326
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: eleven seasons, one of those seasons they were one of

327
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: the top offenses defenses in the league if I remember correctly.

328
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: They might have been bad offensively, but defensively he had

329
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: them playing pretty well. Well. They were classail style team.

330
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: That's the way that goes that they were. They were.

331
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: They were middle of the pack. Uh defensively In O

332
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: two they were thirteenth and points allowed at three twenty nine, fifteenth,

333
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: and I just had the rushing yards because I was

334
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: researching that well, trying to put in perspective up the history.

335
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: That's fine points allowed. They were thirteen though, Bill h

336
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: A Right, when you think of d ware coming in

337
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: that is that's the Cowboys launch, that's you. Then you

338
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: look at Ratliffe. As I look at that Super Bowl

339
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: team twenty five I was on, it seemed like he

340
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: was trying to mimic that. I mean, you had Leonard

341
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Marshall in the middle and now here comes Ratliffe. He wanted, uh,

342
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: what's guy named Candy Canty? He wanted Canty to be

343
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: that guy. But like you said, you talk about the

344
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: eye issues. It's so funny that you don't. I didn't

345
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: really learn that aspect of football until I left the

346
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys and went to the Giants because Tom Landry was

347
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: all the ways about deception and uh trickery and of

348
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: course intellect. When when I went to the Giants, I

349
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: learned field position football. That's field position football. We're gonna

350
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: run just like you said, we're gonna run the ball.

351
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball. We're gonna have a quarterback

352
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: that can manage our team, and defensively that's going to

353
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: be our strength. So we're gonna always be in a

354
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: ball game not because we can score, but because we

355
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: prevent the other team from scoring. And when you don't

356
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: do that, then that's when the field position game comes

357
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: into play to where you may calculate the moves to

358
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: where you can put your defense in the best position

359
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: to make their offense, uh have a scramble situation. So

360
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: do you think about it? In that O five draft.

361
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: In that O five draft, they got they got two

362
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: five techniques and Marcus Spears and Chris Kanty. They got

363
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: a nose tackle and Jay Ratliffe, they got the edge

364
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: rusher into Marcus ware and they basically got one of

365
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: the inside backers in Kevin Burnett as well. Now, Ratliffe

366
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: did not fit the prototype that Parcels liked. The big

367
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: old hunker in the middle. But obviously he was very

368
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: effective as a different type of nose tackle and had

369
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: his best years with Wade go Ahead making so in

370
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one when they went five and eleven,

371
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: zim had that defense ranked fourth in total yards, and

372
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: then in two thousand and three they were number one,

373
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: number one in defense that year, third against the run

374
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: and first against the pass, and then they fell off

375
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: in two fourth they were still that was the four

376
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: three parcels first year, and then they fell off to

377
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: sixteenth in two thousand and four, but they were awful

378
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: on offense, and then when they went to the three

379
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: four in two thousand and five, they were tenth, thirteenth, ninth, eighth,

380
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: and ninth as Wade Phillips came in. So so the

381
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: point is, if if you can play defense, even if

382
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: you're struggling on offense, you give yourself a chance. But

383
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: if you can't stop anybody and you're struggling on offense,

384
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: you're three and nine after twelve games. All right, we continue,

385
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: we'll go. We went way too long there, But I

386
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: got some more numbers to throw at you about doomsday defense,

387
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: and how good was the doomsday defense back in the

388
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: day when we come back on mix shots. Hey, they're

426
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: on that NDO um all right, Mickey, you want to

427
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: give an update on practice. Yeah, they find off this segment.

428
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: They finally had a real practice getting ready for this game.

429
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: They had to go indoors. It's been raining here all

430
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: day long. Uh, they haven't. I haven't gotten the official

431
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: designations of what they did, but I'm gonna give you

432
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: mine from the little bit. Rob and I got to watch.

433
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: We were the pool reporters since they were indoors, and

434
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: they no longer can have independent media watching practice when

435
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: it's indoors. Uh. Anthony Brown was out there. I'm gonna

436
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: guess he's limited and gonna get listed as questionable for

437
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: the game. On Sunday. Ezekiel Elliott was out there the

438
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: portion we saw. He was doing rehab work on the

439
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: Resistance Chords, but seemed to be moving quite well doing

440
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: his rehab work. I'm guessing they're gonna list him as

441
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: limited and questionable. Cameron Irving did not practice, so he's out.

442
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: Alden Smith with a foot he was limited yesterday. He

443
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: looked like he was gonna take more part in practice today,

444
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: so I bet they list him as questionable. And Donovan

445
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: Wilson did not practice, so he's still out. And then

446
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: you know, nothing around here stays the same for very long.

447
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: Chitubeo Woozier was had to be placed on reserve COVID

448
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: nineteen yesterday. To me, it sounds like it might have

449
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: been contact tracing, just the way everybody's been answering the questions.

450
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: And when Mike McCarthy was asked today if they thought

451
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Cheeto would be back and he goes, I'm not sure

452
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: that hasn't been confirmed yet. So to me, if he

453
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: had tested positive, then that would have been confirmed unless

454
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: it was a false positive. But if it's contact tracing,

455
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, they have different rules on that, especially if

456
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: you don't have symptoms. If you test negative a couple

457
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: days in a row, then you're probably good to go.

458
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: But let's assume he can't go, and let's assume Anthony

459
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: Brown can't go. There goes your two starting corners. There's

460
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: no more Darryl Whorley here. You gave up on him,

461
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: So that means Diggs and Trayvon Diggs is still out,

462
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 1: although he's improving, but he's still out. So three of

463
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: your top four corners or four of your top five

464
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: corners if you want to include Whorley might not be

465
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: playing and we're okay, three of the four, but you were,

466
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: you were, You were originally including him as one of

467
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: the top four when the season started sotill he played.

468
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: Still he played, Thank you Bill, Thank you Bill. That

469
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: means you are down to play. He's not in the

470
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: top forty one. Well do you feel the same about

471
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: Rashad Robinson? Now, well, well, you know what, He's on

472
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: the team. So so now you are on the roster's on.

473
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: You are down to Rashad Robinson, Deonte Burton and then

474
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: the practice squad Chris Chris Westy and also yeah, yeah,

475
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: two guys on the practice squad and two guys you

476
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: didn't think would even be playing this year are gonna

477
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: man the cornerback spots. So will they play Jordan Lewis.

478
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Lewis is the one guy that the one I said yeah,

479
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: would they play? No? But will they play him in

480
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: the bass? No? They played him in the nickel all

481
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: last week. I know, I know they will and the nickel,

482
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: But what when they come out with two tight ends,

483
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: will it Jordan Lewis be the outside because they're still

484
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna be in the nickel. Don't try to get under

485
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: my skin. That's right, I'm sorry, I momentarily forgot that

486
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if they have three tight ends on

487
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: the field plus two running backs, we're still in the nickel.

488
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: I forgot. Yeah, I can see why that upsets you, Spags,

489
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: because it has made zero sense throughout the entire season,

490
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: and for some reason, we will not change that. Has

491
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: anyone just tied him down and said, dude, we need

492
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: linebackers in the game. Has anyone talked about that, anyone

493
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: mentioned that to coach McCarthy. Does Mike Nolan ever do

494
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: an interview? They haven't done it. They haven't spoken since

495
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: before the Minnesota game. I believe you can't hide forever, man.

496
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, eventually, you're gonna have to show that you

497
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: have linebackers on this team for something other than special teams.

498
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: I saw. I think it was Joe Thomas was a

499
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: guy's name for the eight. He's out there blocking, Sean

500
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: Lee still on the team, waiting to do something. I

501
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: don't know if they feel more confidence in Jordan Lewis

502
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: stopping the run versus Thomas or Sean Lee. This is

503
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: amazing to me. You're talking about these cornerbacks. You can

504
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: get upset about the cornerbacks all you want spags. It

505
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who we put out there. I put Jay

506
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: Lou Smith out there a cornerback and he could probably

507
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: do just as bad a job as Brown or as

508
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: a Woozier did last week. Now, let's be real. I

509
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: know Woozier came back, he's been injured, things that nature.

510
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: But mentally, you have to put yourself in a better

511
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: position and able to sleep out there. The entire ball game,

512
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: and Brown's entire career to me, has been a sleepwalk you.

513
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what cornerbacks you put out their spags.

514
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: They need to just play zone, play safe because at

515
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: this point they haven't stopped anyone pass or run. Let's

516
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: be real, now, whether we've gone against the run of

517
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: the pass and these particular games, they would have been

518
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: successful regardless, it didn't matter. They would have been successful.

519
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: We've got Colton McCoy would have come out and passed

520
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: for some yards if they would have done whatever they

521
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: need to do because we haven't stopped anyone run or pass.

522
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: So don't be upset about the lack of cornerbacks. We've

523
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: been having the lack of cornerbacks all season. And kay

524
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: along those lines, how about the wide receiving corps. For

525
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: the Bengals, you got six four A J. Green, you

526
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: got six four T. Higgins, second round draft pick out

527
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: of Clemson, and their leading receiver is Tyler boy Do

528
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: six two. Well, at least Higgins was limited this week

529
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: at practice so far, so maybe so maybe the answer

530
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: is Chris Westy, who is a six four corner. Six four.

531
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go, there you go. Maybe

532
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: it just that you can reach up, you can knock

533
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: something down. And now for the good news. And Tyler

534
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: Badish was actually he's on IR, but they actually started

535
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: him practicing, so I think, you know, you only have

536
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to take him off IR after

537
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: he once starts practicing. So we'll see how soon he

538
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: can get back. Well, we don't need Tyler Beannest anymore.

539
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: We shored up the offensive line the last game against Baltimore,

540
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: they had their best game in the year. The offensive

541
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: line got fixed last week. They need Tyler Beatish in

542
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: the center. I don't think there's any spot on this

543
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: team where we can say we're good. No, all right,

544
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier about doomsday defense. Real quick before we

545
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: go to break here. Doomsday defense back in the good

546
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: old days in the late sixties when they first coined

547
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: the term the doomsday defense. All Right, I told you

548
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: I did my little research on run defenses in the past.

549
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: Where did the Cowboys rank in run defense sing in nuts,

550
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: Let's say nineteen sixty six, which of course is the

551
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: year that they played the Packers in the NFL Championship Game,

552
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: the first time they were number one in the league

553
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: and run defense, that flex defense it's made for the

554
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: run Ice Bowl year in sixty seven, number one in

555
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: run defense, sixty eight, number one, and run defense sixty nine,

556
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: number one, and run defense. They fell to tenth in seventy,

557
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: but they shorted up the next year, went to the

558
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, number two, and run defense number one, number three,

559
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: number two, number four, all the way through the decade

560
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: of the seventies. And we talked about it, the offensive

561
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: players the Cowboys have had in their history, and Mickey

562
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: talked about the Super Bowl teams in the nineties, the

563
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: defenses that the teams had out there. Even though we

564
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: did we just talked about the triplets on offense. It's

565
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: when the Cowboys have had Super Bowl type teams that

566
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: defenses ranked up there near the top in the League,

567
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: and not to mention in the secondary you had Cornell

568
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: Green and you had mel Renfro and then you throw

569
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: in herb Adelaide for a couple of games. Come on, man,

570
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd love to see what their past

571
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: defensive numbers were whenever you have time for that. Well,

572
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: what year would you like? I can't see them those years,

573
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: those sixties years, those start and sixty six, seventy five

574
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: or okay, sixty six, they were seventh, sixty seven, eleventh, eleventh, eleventh,

575
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: and then seventy they were third, and then they fell

576
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: to nineteen nineteen, sixteen and fourteen. Here, all right, here's

577
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: the problem with those numbers. But the problem with those

578
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: numbers is the Cowboys were so far ahead in games

579
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: that the other team was throwing the football. That's true, buddy.

580
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: In domineteen seventy five, when they returned to the Super Bowl,

581
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: they were eighth, seventh, and then in seventy seven they

582
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: were second, seventy eight, they were fifth, seventy nine, they

583
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: were third. Oh, look it happened in nineteen eighty one.

584
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Takeaways in nineteen eighty one they were twenty first. What happened?

585
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: We were picking off passes. Man, about that that was

586
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: we were picking off passes. Tell me how many interceptions

587
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: we got in nineteen eighty exactly to talk about in

588
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: that era the takeaways where the more were important. We

589
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: had at least we had at least thirty two interceptions,

590
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: no mistake, old yourself, short, you had thirty seven thirty

591
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: seven picks. How many years and we have to go

592
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: back for the Cowboys to total thirty seven interceptions. I

593
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: wonder what was the whole day before nineteen eighty one?

594
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: To me, that's the difference. So here you've got these

595
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: young pups coming in here. Number twenty six, Michael down

596
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: from South Oacliffe High School, Roy Fellows from where the

597
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: University of Missouri, and he got everything walls and he

598
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: was a wife and he was a wide receiver. You

599
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: got ever some walls fore agent coming from g SU

600
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: and that is not Georgia State. We're talking Grambling State University. Baby,

601
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: and you come in with it. Eighty three they had

602
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven interceptions. Eighty four, twenty eight, and nineteen

603
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: eighty five with Thurman Steves they had thirty three interceptions.

604
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: Come on, man, that's legendary stuff, y'all are good old day.

605
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: I need a raise. I need a raise right now.

649
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys have how many interceptions? They have five interceptions? So

650
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: to get more than the thirty seven we were talking

651
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: about that one season, we have to go back five

652
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: years to get to forty one. That's too funny, that's

653
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: too funny. That's way funny. I'm sorry, I can't. I

654
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: cannot believe that. How far we have fallen? Guys, Come

655
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 1: on all that hard work by Dexter klinks game. Okay,

656
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: So of those five interceptions and of the players who

657
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: have a chance of playing on Sunday against the Bengals,

658
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: all right, how many will how many interceptions this season

659
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: will be represented on the field for the Cowboys as

660
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: they take the field in Cincinnati. Because Trayvon Diggs won't play,

661
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: he's got two picks this year. Looks like Cheeto won't play.

662
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: He's got one pick, and so that leaves two picks

663
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: left out of the five Smith right. And the other

664
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: look what I found. The other is from Tuesday Night.

665
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday Night, Darian Thompson. Yeah right, I don't even remember

666
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: that one. I'm so mad. When I watched the game,

667
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't even remember. It was early early in the game.

668
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: Tip ball and the middle of the field diving interception,

669
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: that turn which one turned into just a field goal.

670
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: It was that one, right because the kickoff return ended

671
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: up a touchdown. Am I right? Jak it up, you'll go,

672
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: I'll look it up. And in the meantime, ever since,

673
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: we need your picks, picks to click this week in Cincinnati,

674
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: you guys talk me into it, man. I like this

675
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: guy's college career. He was all about making plays. He's tall,

676
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: like you talked about. I'm gonna go with Robinson having

677
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,479
Speaker 1: a decent game. I'm gonna go with him. I'm gonna

678
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: go with him getting an interception because they're gonna be

679
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: some balls throwing up there from these two backup quarterbacks.

680
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: And I look for the Cowboys to win. Believe it

681
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: or not. I know you guys believe it. You're he's

682
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: gonna start right, Yeah, I know. I'm so confident. You

683
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: know it doesn't take It's give me a sliver of

684
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: sunlight and I'm gonna take it. Okay, So I'm looking

685
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: at Cowboys best case scenario twenty three to seventeen. Twenty

686
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: three to seventeen. That's right, And I was going well

687
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: with Gallup last last week, but you know we didn't

688
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: win the game. So um and by the way, that

689
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: was a field goal drive after the Darien Thompson interception. Mickey,

690
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: you are right, Yeah, that's that's not hard to You

691
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: could just guess. All right, Nicky, what are your your pick?

692
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: I am going to go with Ezekiel Elliott against the

693
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty ninth ranked rushing defense of Cincinnati. The Cowboys will

694
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: be able to run. My next question was where they

695
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: where's their defense ranked? That wixt just a little bit

696
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: above the Cowboys. Uh. As we've been saying for the

697
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, I am obligated to pick the

698
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: opponent because the Cowboys have not obligate obligated. I am

699
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: a man of my word, and I'm gonna pick the

700
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: same star I picked last week. Cincinnati twenty three, Cowboys

701
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, twenty all right, it's the return of

702
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton to Cincinnati, right, Yes, Okay, So Andy returns

703
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, and what a triumphant return it will be

704
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: for the redheaded Andy Dalton who goes into Cincinnati and

705
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys build a twenty two to nothing lead in

706
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Dalton will be my pick to click

707
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: and it will remind me of that day thirty five

708
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: years ago. In fact, it was a December day in

709
00:44:52,360 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati in nineteen eighty five, when December eighth, ninet. I

710
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: turned on the television and the Bengals led the Cowboys

711
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: twenty two to nothing in the first quarter. They led

712
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 1: twenty two to three and halftime. They had forty three

713
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: points by the end of the third quarter, fifty by

714
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: the end of the game. It was a fifty to

715
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: twenty four Cincinnati win. And so this is the revenge

716
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: game for the redhead as Andy Dalton and the Cowboys

717
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: beat the Bengals fifty to twenty four on Sunday afternoon

718
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. I was hoping my battery ran out before

719
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: you finished with all of that, but damn it didn't

720
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: do it. Half game. If that happens, I'll send you

721
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: a pizza party for your family. Hey, just so you know,

722
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: we talked about this a little while ago about what

723
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: do you do with certain film certain games that you lose.

724
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: We never watched it. We never watched that video. We

725
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: ever watched that video. We had just lost the Chicago

726
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: for you for nothing. The week after that, we go

727
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,720
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati and we get blown out, as Bill just mentioned.

728
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: Came back the next week and we beat the Giants

729
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: for the NFC East back in Texas Stadium. Now bring

730
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,840

Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl. Right, they were pretty good. Yes,

735
