Hopefully they're traveling safely too. By 15 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: the way, I can't believe. I can't believe that the 16 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: season is even starting. You guys know I was the 17 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: pessimist of the group. I must be. I'm amazed that 18 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: the NFL has actually gotten the schedule going and we'll 19 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: about to watch some football. I'm as happy as Bill. 20 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm as happy as Bill Jones now. And the Cowboys 21 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: actually got there first official regular season practice in today 22 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: this morning and they just finished up. So they went 23 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: about oh an hour and forty five minutes today outdoors 24 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: on top of it on that new field, and we 25 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: are anxiously anticipating the first injury reports of the sea. Yeah, right, absolutely. 26 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: I wonder when the official ones will come out, but 27 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: I could at least tell you who was there and 28 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: who wasn't. Uh. Chitubey A Woozier uh and Xavier Woods 29 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: were participating in practice, along with Luke Gifford, by the way, 30 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 1: and he'd been out for a couple of weeks. Uh, 31 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: so those three guys were in there. Uh, Brandon Knight 32 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: got back in practice the offensive tackle uh and Brandon 33 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Carr was out there, so uh he must have been 34 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: in pretty darn good shape because they had him in 35 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: a helmet and uh he was going through the drills 36 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: and actually going through uh some of the well the 37 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: skeleton team stuff that the defense was doing. And he 38 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: was at safety by the way, so uh so he 39 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: is he is not on He's on the practice squad 40 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: still technically, but you know he's a guy if they 41 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: decide that they need him on Sunday, they can promote 42 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: him to the to the roster on game day. But yeah, 43 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: I checked on those salary sites and his dollery is 44 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: the maximum of a veteran can get on the practice squad, 45 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: which is twelve thousand dollars a week. So I would 46 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: imagine if they at some point promote him to the 47 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: fifty three, he'll get at least at least the veteran minimum, 48 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: which I believe this year for a guy that has 49 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: ten years in the league is minimum base is one 50 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: point three million. So but yeah, he was out there. 51 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: So the only people that I didn't see practicing that 52 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: was on the fifty three man roster was Jordan Lewis. 53 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: He was still working on the resistant chords. And everybody 54 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: can take a deep breath because Amari Cooper was out 55 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: there participating in the portion of practice that everybody was 56 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: able to watch. Now, one thing they also came out 57 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: yesterday the first well I don't know how official it is, 58 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: but it is a depth shark I got released yesterday 59 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: and there was much uh consternation in the local media 60 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: about that depth chart because there were only ten starters 61 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: listed on as Mickey Mike McCarthy still at work, right, 62 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: you're not gonna know what we're doing with that other spot. 63 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: But I think if I if I counted him right, 64 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: they did have five. They did have five. Don't despair there, 65 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: um Yeah, and you know, and it's it's probably going 66 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: to be another wide receiver. But they didn't want to 67 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: say they're going three wide and they didn't want to. Yeah, 68 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: they didn't want to. They didn't want to tell the 69 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: Rams what formation they coming out in, what first all 70 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: they were using on the first and not have a 71 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: fullback out there, so I try they didn't have They 72 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: only had one tied end on the depth chart, they 73 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: only first team, they only had two wide receivers, no fullback, 74 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: and so they're not gonna tip their hand and what 75 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: formation they're coming out in. And I noticed on Twitter 76 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: the other concern was is they had, uh they only 77 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: have two linebackers out there because they listed Alden Smith 78 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: as a linebacker. Uh so uh, it's like, look, I 79 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: like that. I like I like the fact that they 80 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: threw it out there that Okay, their speculation we might 81 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: be in a three four defense, Okay, chew on this row. Yeah, exactly. So, 82 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: uh no, no secrets getting out of here at the 83 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: Star at this point and a lot of deceptions. Tell you, guys, 84 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: I'm loving this. I'm loving this bill past sales, throwback 85 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: mode that we're in, you know, with all the gamesmanship 86 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: that we're dealing with, I love it. Man. They're using 87 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: and unfortunate situation which caused a lot of concern for 88 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people. But you know, only a good 89 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: coach is going to use it to your advantage so 90 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: that we can have as many advantages that we can 91 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: have during this ballgame. This is this is a throwback 92 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: type situation. You know. Ever since I was thinking about 93 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: this when I when I heard some complaining in the media, 94 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, at some point, you're 95 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: gonna wish Jason Garrett was back here. He was much 96 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: more open about injuries, he was much more open about 97 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: where guys were gonna play, and mccarthury ain't given away nothing. 98 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: And you know, when we first met him back in January, 99 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: it was it was a really informative meeting that he 100 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: had with the people that covered the team on a 101 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: daily basis. And somebody asked me about it, and you 102 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: know how it went and I said, yeah, it was 103 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: really good. He's a nice straight shooter. And he goes, yeah, well, 104 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: don't get used to it, because I heard from the 105 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: guys that cover the team in Green Bay he doesn't 106 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: give up anything once the season starts, and I think 107 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: we're starting and seeing that was my question. I was 108 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: wondering if anyone had talked to the guys that covered 109 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: the team, yeah, doing the off season and when all 110 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: this was going on, is this something that you yeah, 111 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: absolutely yeah, And he's uh, and he's pretty good when 112 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: he and I don't know if it's the technology that 113 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of messing up with the press conferences. But 114 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: at the end, if he gets a question when it's 115 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: almost done, and I don't think he likes it, it's like, okay, yeah, 116 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: I can't you hear that? Well, we gotta go to 117 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: my wife all the time. Man, I didn't know that 118 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: you like Bill Parcels. He would just start telling a 119 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: story and the story would be so good you forgot 120 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: what the question was. That's what check out the end 121 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: of today's press conference and Mickey's alluding to right there 122 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: because he got he got the last question, which was 123 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: something about protocol on the sidelines or something, and then 124 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: he decided in his own mind that was going to 125 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: be the last question, but before it signed off, Okay, 126 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: he said, Rich said that was the last question, so 127 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: unlike Jason have to point out that's an endor and 128 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: he would walk off. Speaking of his press conference, I 129 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: thought it was a good press conference today. I thought 130 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: I thought he was revealing on kind of what he 131 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: told the team in their meeting today and the emphasis 132 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: on not losing games, making mistakes that sort of thing, 133 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: and just the in general the mindset of what the 134 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: expectations are here in Dallas. He said it from day 135 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: one when he got the job, that he embraces the 136 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: high expectations super Bowl expectations that they should have here 137 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: in Dallas and uh and he talked on him. Yeah, well, 138 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: I thought that was that was probably the best part 139 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: of the press conference because I think the question he 140 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: got was do you worry about the expectations of the 141 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys because they're always high? And he basically said, no, 142 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: that's what the expectations should be. I'm not coming in here, 143 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: he said, I'm not one of these guys that under 144 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: what was it sells and over promotes overproducers yeah, he goes, 145 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: I expect us to produce and I don't come in 146 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: here in men's words. So you know, he basically pointed out, Yeah, 147 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: my expectation is to come here and win every game 148 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: and so and he goes, And that's what every team 149 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: in the league's probably thinking. So yeah, I thought that 150 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: was a really good part of the press conference today 151 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: and maybe as revealing as he's been since this week began. 152 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: You know, when you think about coaches, new coaches coming 153 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: in and you hear those press conferences, you know, sometimes 154 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: you just hear it just sounds like they're just saying 155 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: words because that coach may not be proven. This coach 156 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: has proven. Coach McCarthy has been there before. He's won 157 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: with some of the better players in history, one of 158 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: the better quarterbacks, probably go down to one of the 159 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: better quarterbacks in history. But what you have to understand 160 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: is he knows what the formula is to win. You know, 161 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: when you're talk talk about going all the way to 162 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, Guys, you've been a part of this 163 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: fadge bill. You've been a part of it. We've seen 164 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: it with the Cowboys. I was there with the Giants. 165 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: It takes a special group and a lot of luck 166 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: as well to go to a super Bowl. This team 167 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: has what they need to go. All they need is 168 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: the leadership itself. And I like what he said during 169 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: the press conference. We cannot beat ourselves. You guys heard 170 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: me talk about it this past week about how we 171 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: need all three fasts of the game. But what we 172 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: also don't need or a bunch of penalties that are 173 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: going to take us out of position and put us 174 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: in situations and all of a sudden, that kind of 175 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: becomes the culture. Like last year with the Cowboys, there 176 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: were many games, big games where we're trying to make 177 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: a comeback after putting ourselves in a tough position, and 178 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, untimely penalty stops us on a 179 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: big play, stops us on a touchdown. You can ask 180 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: Reddy Cop we handle Cop about that one in regards 181 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: to how many touchdowns will call back just on his yardsties. 182 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: We got right happy about that. I'm not gonna feel 183 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: too sorry for him. But at the same time, for 184 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: as far as the team is concerned, those touchdowns could 185 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: have meant a lot and made a big difference in 186 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: the Cowboys season. Weren't If it weren't for those penalties. 187 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: Sort of like you hope the Stars learned last night 188 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: with the amount of penalties they took in that hockey game. 189 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: You just don't want that to be a culture, uh 190 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: in regards to losing games and how Yeah. And I 191 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: like the fact also Bill and Everson that he brought 192 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: it when he was asked about the Rams in last 193 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: year's game. He said, hey, we broke it down. We 194 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: showed him basically why you scored forty four points. Uh, 195 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, and we and that's the 196 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: way you got to be able to play. And I 197 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: had forgotten that they scored forty four points against that 198 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: Rams team. It was towards the end of the season. 199 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: And you know that he said, well, yeah, it could 200 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: create motivation, but for the uh, for the Rams. But 201 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, nothing they can do about that now, you know. 202 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: You know. You look at it though, and with the 203 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: changes that have occurred on that Rams team in this offseason, 204 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: not only in personnel on the playing field, but also 205 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: in their coaching staff even more so than usual, I 206 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: don't think that you can take much out of what 207 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: happened late in the season last year. Though that was 208 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: a big a big loss from the Rams perspective because 209 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: it basically knocked him out of a chance of getting 210 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: back into playoffs last year. Uh, you know, it's interesting, 211 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: you know Wade Phillips, and we'll get more into it 212 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: in the next couple of days into the game planning. 213 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: It goes into into this one. But you know, Wade 214 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: Phillips is no longer the defensive coordinator. Brandon Staley is 215 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, thirty nine years old in his first 216 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: year as a DC. And McCarthy in this in the 217 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: in the Packers staff. Members of this staff who were 218 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 1: with the Packers have some familiarity because he comes from 219 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: the Vic Fangio school. He was an assistant under Fangio 220 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: with the Chicago Bears for a couple of years, then 221 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: last year with the Broncos. And so when when Mike 222 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: McCarthy talks about the differences in that the three four 223 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: defense that Phillips runs has compared to Fangio, I think 224 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: that's what he was talking. And he also pointed out 225 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: that from a personnel standpoint that you know, they've got 226 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: two assistant coaches that were with the Rams last year, 227 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: Skiff Pete, John fossil So they got a little insider 228 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: information on personnel. Now, you don't know how they're going 229 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: to use some of these guys, but you can pick 230 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: their brains and say, Okay, what does this guy do? 231 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: What are his tendencies? Uh, And that's some pretty good 232 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: intel going into the first game, even though you don't 233 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: have any tape on this team. I think that helps 234 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: out from a player to players standpoint. Those guys know 235 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: and I've said Staley's thirty nine years old, He's only 236 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: thirty seven and first time as a DC in this league, 237 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: so we'll callin plays for the first time. That's an 238 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: interesting element here in this first game. And then McCarthy 239 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: also talking about Sean McVay, the respect that he has 240 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: for McVay, the success that he has had at such 241 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: a young age, early in his career as a head coach, 242 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: and they've gone up against each other a few times. 243 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: McVay now going into his fourth year as the Rams 244 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: head coach. Jared Goff's had a couple of big games 245 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: against those Packer teams, three hundred yard passing games. So 246 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: I think that McCarthy, although I don't know that he 247 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: was asked about golf per se today, I think he 248 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: has a lot of respect for golf and what the 249 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: Rams on the Cowboys defense is probably thanking God that 250 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: those two running backs that ran over him in the 251 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:56,239 Speaker 1: playoff game are no longer there. I was like govermenting 252 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: that about the personnels bads, because boy, they lost some 253 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: good ones. They really did. Those are to me, when 254 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: you talk about two of the three very integral parts 255 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: of their team, you go to the free safety part 256 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: of it as well. In the secondary they just lost 257 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: I believe his name is Eric Whittle, a great free 258 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: safety for the Rams. This guy's uh, you know, he's 259 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: not there anymore, and they've gonna have to fill that 260 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: sitch that position in very well. That's a key position, 261 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: especially when you're going up against the top offense. And 262 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: last year, yeah, they also had one of their starting 263 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: linebackers get hurt and they had to put him on 264 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: injured reserve. I think it was Travian Howard was slated 265 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: to start, so they won't have him either to TEU. 266 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, well but again, you know, as we keep saying, 267 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: we'll see, because we haven't seen a lot yet. No 268 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: one isn't anything yet. And Jalen Ramsey is a very 269 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: happy man.

Did y'all love drive 320 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: in movies back in the day? Well, let me tell you. 321 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: We had a drive in theater on one block over 322 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: from where we lived. It was the greatest thing in 323 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: the world. When we got old enough to stay out 324 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: after the sun went down. And what we would do is, 325 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: so you know, our our our house faced the other way, 326 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: and then there was neighbors behind us, and then the 327 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: drive in. So uh during during the day or maybe 328 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: at night. Uh, we'd sneaked the Brave Ones underneath the fence. 329 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: During the day, we'd dig a hole so we can 330 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: go crawl underneath the fence, and we'd said the Brave 331 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: Ones in and they would go and turn the speakers 332 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: up on the ones where there was no cars. Right, 333 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: so we could sit on the curb across the street 334 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: and watch the movies. Uh. And if I remember correctly, Um, 335 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: it was Planet of the Apes and those everyone I 336 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: was going to say when the Planet of the Apes 337 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: first came out it was X rated, I think. And 338 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: so we we sat on the corner and watched the 339 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: Planet of the Apes. Now it might have taken two 340 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: days because depending on which way the wind was blowing, 341 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: we could hear or we couldn't hear. And then the 342 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: real Brave Ones we sent him to the concession standing 343 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: get his popcorn. Well, there was nothing like the gym. 344 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: Everybody knows about the Gem and I drive in theater. 345 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: I know, Bill, you remember that. You got to remember 346 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: the Gem and I drive in theaters right off a 347 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: central expressway. Remember, right, awesome Hamilton Park. We could we 348 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,239 Speaker 1: could we could sit on we could also set on 349 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: our porches. They had three screens. Uh, spags, so you 350 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: could sit on your porch and you could see a 351 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: screen or two, especially from Cherrell's house. She was right 352 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: there across the street. And we were so bold we 353 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: didn't because I guess we lived right there. We didn't 354 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: really care about sneaking in. We would just bummer USh 355 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: the gate and we would climb the fences. You know, 356 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: we had the fences like uh, like what the yeah, 357 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: that's what we had. Yeah, had the Cold Good medal. 358 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: And that's how I learned how to climb fences so well, 359 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: because you had to. You had to be good if 360 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: they caught you. When you got caught at the top 361 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: of the fence, usually someone was gonna kick you back out. 362 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: But once you've made it to that concession stands fags, 363 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: then you were all its over. It was over your 364 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: end there him. But those are the best times of 365 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: Gem and I drive in theater, had a great time. 366 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: One more funny one more funny thing is we'd see 367 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: the neighbors because they charged you per person, right, So 368 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: what the neighbors would do is they'd have a couple 369 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: that would drive in, but the other couple that would 370 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: be in the back seat, they put them in the 371 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: trunk so they could sneak it and not pay for 372 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: the other two admissions. I don't say that we did that, 373 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: but I'll say I had some friends who did that. 374 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: We had Gem and I drive in at Gem and 375 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: I it was a dollar a call old just a dollar. 376 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: And so however many people you could put in the car, 377 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: Devil's great. But of course they didn't know about the 378 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 1: ones in the trunk. So yes, bag that was Universal 379 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: and Mickey. At the one eighty three drive in and 380 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: irving just down the highway from Texas Stadium, we weren't 381 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: worried about turning up the speakers. We just sit outside 382 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: and watch the movies from outside, if you know what 383 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean. We didn't need any sound. And by the way, 384 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: I mean one more note on drive in theaters. Everson, 385 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: do you remember when Texas Stadium had drive in movie theaters? 386 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: I'd working light there. That's right, This is a throwback 387 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: at the Star now, all right, time fum to come back, 388 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: time fum to come back. That's right. That's that's one 389 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: of the one good thing that has come out of 390 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: the pandemic. One all right, Jalen Ramsey is smiling ear 391 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 1: to ear one hundred and five million dollars something like 392 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: twenty one and a half million a year, And that's 393 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: almost as much as Everson made in his entire career 394 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: in the All right, oh boy, I thought I was 395 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: so proud of my contract. I had an annuity. Was whoo, 396 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: you're having annuity? Nowadays, no one needs annuity. Just give 397 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: me all my money. Now I don't have my own annuity. Now, 398 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: it's got to be an amazing thing. Uh. We saw 399 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: how Deshaun Watson reacted to his contract and how emotional 400 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: that was for him. Uh, that's just the way he 401 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: was as a person. That's just his his uh, you know, temperament. 402 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: But when you look at Jalen Ramsey, I don't know 403 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: if you guys would call his last year in Jacksonville. 404 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: I think it was he pulled up in a he 405 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: pulled up in the bricks truck with music and dancing girls. 406 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: If i'm if, I might add with video music and 407 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: all of that. So the difference between those two is just, 408 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, it covers the spectrum. But he's a guy 409 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: that that will clearly live up to his contract. Uh. 410 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: He is never I can't remember him having any offseason 411 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: to where he had a you know, gave up an 412 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: unusual amount of plays. This is a guy that has 413 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: been deserving his money for a long time. You know, 414 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: as a defensive back and as a as a form 415 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: of player, you want to you pull for guys who 416 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: get that money, but you also want to see them 417 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: live up to it. And I think he's a guy 418 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: that's going to live up to it, despite the fact 419 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: he only had one interception last year. Everson, Yeah, but 420 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: he shut down. He shut down a whole lot of 421 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: wide receivers. You you find me one wide receiver that 422 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: talks trash about Jalen Ramsey, and I'll give him a 423 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: lot of credit because he must have gotten something done 424 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: because Jalen shuts him down. He shuts him down, and 425 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: he only needs forty seven more interception than in his 426 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: career to match everything loss. He'll get there. He'll take 427 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: a while, but he'll get there, all right. Speaking of contracts, 428 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: a couple of as far as what the Cowboys are concerned, 429 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: let's start with Randy Gregory gets a contract extension yesterday. Yeah, 430 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: he did, Bill and it was basically a one year deal. 431 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: And you know what they and and when you look 432 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: at it, you know what they did, he's gonna he 433 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: would have been on He's still on his old contract. 434 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: So next year, providing everything works out this year, he 435 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: would be a restricted free agent, and you know, the 436 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: restricted free agent tender for a guy like him was 437 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: going to be at least two points some million second round, right, 438 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: So what they did is they basically advanced him two 439 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: hundred thousand for this year. And because he hadn't been 440 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: getting paid, Remember, they tried to sign him to an 441 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: extension while he was suspended, and the NFL said, nah, 442 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: he can't do that. So basically, next year he's gonna 443 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: make what he would have normally made as a restricted 444 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: free agent at your original draft choice. So it helps 445 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: him out because you know, he's getting paid week to 446 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: week and I'm sure he paid dearly to go through 447 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: the rehab that he had to go through to be 448 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: able to you know, recover and get reinstated. So basically 449 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: kind of did him a favor and gave him some 450 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: money ahead of time. And the Zach Martin restructure, what 451 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: is the Cowboys gained eight million dollars to the salary 452 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: cap this year and everybody's like, oh, whoa, what are 453 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: they going to use it for it. Well, that eight 454 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: million gives him about twenty million under the cap meeting. 455 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: That's what they have left. And normally they like to 456 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: keep ten to twelve in reserve for things that come up, 457 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: like you got to pay a guy goes on injured reserve, 458 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: you got to replace him. There's another salary. I can't 459 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: imagine they're going to keep Brandon car on a practice 460 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: squad salary of twelve thousand dollars a week, which is 461 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: what he's on right now, because when he moves to 462 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: the fifty three, he's got a he's got at least 463 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: make the minimum, and so you know, and the minimum 464 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: for a guy that's got ten years in like he does, 465 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: it's it's about a million and a half a year. 466 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: So there's more expenditure there, so you gotta have a cushion. 467 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: And then the other thing, you guys, what you can 468 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: do is if you end up under the cap and 469 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: you don't use it all, then you can use it 470 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: next year. And they may need it next year just 471 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: because of what happens with the pandemic and not making 472 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: as much money off the turnstiles. You know, the Cowboys 473 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: will get some allowing fans in, but like this weekend 474 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: and Rams ain't making anything because got a brand new 475 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 1: seventy two thousand seat stadium and they're not letting fans 476 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: in and that's something you share with the visiting team 477 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: and there's no share there. So the revenue is going 478 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: to go down next year, the cat might go down. 479 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: We got to see how it plays out, and you 480 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: know what, and then what would you would you think? 481 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: So it only the pro ration, So they take that 482 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: that money they saved giving him the money up front, 483 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: and they pro rated over the length of the contract, 484 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: so it really only adds to the contract another one 485 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: point eight million a year because he had a pretty 486 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: lengthy contract already. I think what I was my question was, Uh, 487 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: let's say we went into another situation where we bring 488 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: in a guy like Cooper the way we did a 489 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: few years ago. Would that money be enough? You know, 490 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: would it make a difference in bringing someone else in 491 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys might feel that they needed that was 492 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: out there on the market, depending depending on ever since, 493 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: on how much the guy's base salary is, because that's 494 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: all if you trade for a guy, you don't trade 495 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: for the pro ration on the siding bonus. You just 496 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: trade for the base salaries, so you know, you know 497 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: had they I'll just give you an example, since everybody 498 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: talking about Earl Thomas, you know, his base salary for 499 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: this year was a guaranteed ten million dollars, so if 500 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: you traded for him, he would you would hit ten 501 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: million immediately on your salary cap. So you got to 502 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: be careful. Those things go into decisions to make trades 503 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: or not make trades. And if I remember correctly, when 504 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: they traded for Amari Cooper, he was still on his 505 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: first year salary, I mean his first contract, his rookie contracts, 506 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: so the base salary wasn't prohibitive to say, you know what, 507 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: I can't give you all I gave you because I 508 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: gotta pay that contract. You've got to give me some 509 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: draft choice relief, so that all goes into it. And 510 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: for the team that does the trading, you know, the 511 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: rest of his pro rated signing bonus all escalates into 512 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: the salary cap immediately. So depending on how much you 513 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: had left, you got to take that on on your 514 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: salary cap. So to make a trade, you better have 515 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: some money left under the cap and no one more 516 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: thing on contracts. A lot of talk about Deshaun Watson 517 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: signing his contract and comparing it with Dak and Mickey, 518 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: that truly is apples and oranges, considering the fact that 519 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: Watson had two years left on his contract. The numbers 520 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: are out now on Watson's contract, and I think you 521 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: alluded to this or mentioned it yesterday, but just to 522 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: inhas reemphasize it. The numbers that I'm looking at. Rather 523 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: than a four year, one hundred and fifty six million 524 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: dollar extension, it really is a four year, one hundred 525 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: eleven point eight nine million dollar contract. Because the Texans 526 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, after four years can get out 527 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,719 Speaker 1: of that contact with just a five point four million 528 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: dollar dead cap hit in twenty twenty four, and so 529 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: the average that is around what twenty eight million dollars 530 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: rather than the forty million dollars. Yeah, absolutely, you know, 531 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: and no one, no one, And I don't know why. 532 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: It's not that hard to look that stuff up, right, 533 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: but everybody wants to put out there what the agent 534 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: wants out there, four years, one hundred and sixty million. Well, no, 535 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: he's still got two years on his original contract, so 536 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: it's a six year deal, and you take what they 537 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: owed him for the next two years and base salary 538 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: added to the one fifty six and you don't get 539 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: more than one eighty and six years at one eighties 540 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: thirty million, So I don't know that that just blows 541 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: what the Cowboys were offering Dak right out of the 542 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: out of the water. It's basically he got a nice contract. 543 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: And the key thing for those guys that Dak and 544 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: his people didn't value is he just got guaranteed that money. 545 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: And he got a twenty seven million dollars signing bonus 546 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: in the bank today, which Dad could have had fifty 547 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: million in the bank today, but that wasn't enough. And 548 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: so you know, to me, and I've always said this, 549 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: and I hadn't changed my mind. Not knowing if you 550 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: were going to play this year or not not knowing 551 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: what the money was going to be. To get fifty 552 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: million in the bank in April May June, boy, that's 553 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: hard to pass up.

One thing that was 613 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: brought up in uh Mike McCarthy's press conference are the 614 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: sideline protocols and only eight in the box at this 615 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,919 Speaker 1: new stadium in Lackey, Bill. There's a lot of protocols 616 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 1: that they've got to adhere to. UH. Number one, after 617 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: you get past the players on your traveling squad, UH, 618 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: you're only allowed seventy more people to travel. And that 619 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: includes an entire coaching staff that numbers like twenty five 620 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 1: to thirty and anybody else you bring along. Also, there's 621 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: a limit to how many people can be in the 622 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: bench area that aren't coaches or aren't medical people. You 623 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: got to count all these folks and they've they've only 624 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: got so many. And you've got to be in tier 625 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: one or tier two to be in that area, which 626 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,439 Speaker 1: means which means you got to be you're you're one 627 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: of the people that are being tested daily daily. UH. 628 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: And if and if anybody's gonna go with you that 629 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: hasn't been tested daily, you better start this week early 630 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: and start getting tested, uh, if you're gonna be on 631 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: the field. So field access is going to be really restricted. 632 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: Along with the size of the booth. They're only going 633 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 1: to allow so many in there, so they're not packed 634 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: in there like sardines. Uh. And and they got to 635 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,959 Speaker 1: try to social distance. So there's a lot of protocols 636 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: that the coaches the players have to adhere to. UH 637 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: not to mention the testing that will go on before 638 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 1: they get on the plane, and then after they get 639 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 1: to the hotel, uh, they're not allowed to leave, and 640 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: they're not allowed to have their buffet dinner or as 641 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:07,240 Speaker 1: a team dinner. Everything's got to be individual either contactless 642 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: delivery or room service to your room, or if you're 643 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,240 Speaker 1: gonna use the restaurant in the hotel for the guys 644 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: to eat at, the restaurant has to close down to 645 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: the public. So there's a lot of restrictions for teams traveling, 646 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: and I would imagine the teams tomorrow are are going 647 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: to be the first ones they have to go through 648 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: all this. So if the players got to order a 649 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: room service, how much perdem are they getting? Are you 650 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: ever tried to order room service in La there? Per 651 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: diem will more than cover it. We used to get 652 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: We used to get one like twenty one padium and 653 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: then we would all gambler the way on the plane, 654 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: on the way to wear we were going. So the 655 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: twenty one dollars didn't really mean much at all, all right, 656 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: So get ready the Patriots play the Dolphins, and of course, 657 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: a former Patriots assistant coach, Brian Flores, the head coach 658 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins. I guarantee you there's gonna be sideline 659 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: gate coming out of the Patriots game this weekend. Bill 660 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: Belichick's gonna have too many people and on the sideline, 661 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna do some counting. I'll guarantee you. They probably 662 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: only give out so many passes. So if you if 663 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: you have too many on the sideline, is it a 664 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: sideline violation? Can you get penalized during the game? What's 665 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: what's the enforcement people on the field. It's kind of 666 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: like hockey, right, when you make a bad game, they 667 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,320 Speaker 1: would probably they would probably get fined. They would probably 668 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: get fined afterwards, maybe right. I mean, I don't know 669 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: if they would penalize them there. I think they would 670 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: probably find them after the game. There'll be a lot 671 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 1: of video searching to see who kept up with all 672 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: the priorities and things of that nature. I want to 673 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: ask about the you know, like when they once they 674 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: come off the field doing timeout SPADs. I see it 675 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: in NBA where they try to keep a little social distancing, 676 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: but the only dealing with about five to seven people 677 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: at a time. You know, now you're looking at at 678 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: least eleven guys that are going to be huddled up. 679 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: Let's say they have a timeout. Something important is going on. 680 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: They're not trying to social distance with eleven guys in football, uniflies, 681 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: are they? I mean I don't think so. I mean 682 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: you mean, like if there's a time out and you 683 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 1: bring out the whole offense to the sideline to talk, Yeah, 684 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: I haven't. I have seen anything on that, but they 685 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: have suggested heavily if you're on the sideline to you know, 686 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: wear a mask. They're not gonna mandate it, but they're 687 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: heavily suggesting. And Mike McCarthy talked about that the other 688 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: day about you know, him getting used to coaching with 689 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: the mask on from the sideline. So, uh, you know, 690 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: if I'm in a like Kellen Moore, you know you 691 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: gotta call plays boy, you better practice enunciating with a 692 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: mask on, if that's what you've got to do talking 693 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: to the court back right, you can't understand, you can't 694 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: understand anybody. Yeah, everything is muffled. It's well, there's no 695 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: cry to worry about. Say, they don't have to worry 696 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,919 Speaker 1: about the noise, but I'm sure they'll have some type 697 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: of pipe music coming in well. And so when you 698 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: look at that, I think that would be a that's 699 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: a major concern to me. And it's not just doing 700 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: timeouts bags. It's like when the defense comes off the field, 701 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,359 Speaker 1: we gotta get together and talk about it, you know. 702 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: And so once we're doing that, you're not just dealing 703 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: with eleven guys. You're dealing with more because you got 704 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: substitutions that'll come in on third down, so you have 705 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 1: to deal with those that personnel. You have to deal 706 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: with the guys that are backing up, and you might 707 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: be shuttling in different players different positions. That kind of 708 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: thing seems a little dangerous because these players, they're not 709 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,479 Speaker 1: in a bubble the way the NBA was. They didn't 710 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: bring in their families until playoff time. But but here 711 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: you've got players going back home after the games. Absolutely. 712 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: But you know, if you look at the NBA when 713 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: they when they have a timeout, they huddle up there. 714 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: You know, they've got guys that sit the extras are 715 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: sitting in their seats, but the coaches in the middle 716 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: of a huddle with five or six guys, and I 717 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,240 Speaker 1: would imagine, you know, I just think with the amount 718 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: of testing, because these guys have to have to test 719 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: on Friday, they have to test on Saturday before they 720 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,720 Speaker 1: get on the plane, and then Sunday. From what I've read, 721 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: you've got to do a temperature check before you leave 722 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 1: the hotel, and then you got to do a temperature 723 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: check before you enter the stadium. Now I understand you 724 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,320 Speaker 1: can probably pass the temperature check, can still be infected, 725 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: but I think with that amount of precautions, uh, you know, 726 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: once you get on the field, that you should be okay, 727 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: and that's what they're hoping for. So yeah, okay, okay. 728 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: So then in a situation like the Cowboys are in 729 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: this week where they're traveling to LA, how many of 730 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: the and not knowing for sure who's passing all those 731 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: tests leading up to the time the charter leaves. Okay, 732 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: how many on the practice squad are going to travel 733 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 1: with the team in case they have a breakout? Yeah? Absolutely, 734 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: And I would imagine, you know, you're not going to 735 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: take an extra sixteen guys because that'll count against your total, 736 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: but you'll probably take some of those guys and at 737 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 1: least take the four that you protected that no one 738 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: could sign that you say, okay, these guys are important 739 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: to what's going on. But you know, like even before that, 740 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 1: you remember when Kellen Moore was traveling, he was on 741 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: injured reserve and the Cowboys were bringing him along to 742 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: be an extra set of eyes on the sideline. You 743 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: can bring some of those guys, and you can bring 744 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, and you'll bring the guys and I would 745 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 1: imagine everybody's gonna have eight offensive linemen so they could 746 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: at least expand the game day roster to fifty five 747 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: before you have to cut back to forty eight. So 748 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: you'll have some extra guys. And the the testing on 749 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,760 Speaker 1: Saturday is a point of contact testing where you find 750 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,280 Speaker 1: out the results immediately. You don't have to wait twenty 751 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 1: four hours. But so so there will be some practice 752 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: squad guys that have their bags, I would think so 753 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 1: and ready to go depending on those Saturday morning tests 754 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:30,720 Speaker 1: and Bakers Jerry, if they have to, they're flying standby. 755 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: So if if they don't, if if the regular a 756 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: guy on the fifty three or fifty five doesn't pass 757 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: the test, then you get on the charter. Otherwise you 758 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 1: got you gotta get on Jeremy. You have to get 759 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: on Jerry's private plane if you're gonna come late. My 760 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: questions bags is we used to have to If I'm 761 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: not mistaken, didn't we have to fly on the plane 762 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: with you guys? Media on this plane? No media? So 763 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,800 Speaker 1: what what? So? How do you what do you guys? 764 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: Do you guys? I think from from what I've been 765 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 1: told from the guys at the newspapers, they're probably at 766 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: least traveling to the first game because everybody's worried about 767 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: the social injustice protests and if the TV doesn't show it, 768 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,239 Speaker 1: then you'll never see what took place. So I think 769 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 1: they want their guys there. But after that, I don't 770 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 1: know how much they're going to travel. I mean, if 771 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: you look at what's going on with the hockey UH 772 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: and the NBA. The NBA only let so many media 773 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: people into the bubble, uh, the NHL not very many. 774 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,919 Speaker 1: And I think the local newspapers here did not send 775 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: anybody to Edmonton to cover the stars. They're doing it 776 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 1: off a TV and the virtual interviews, so and you 777 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: know what, and even if you drop into the game, 778 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: you're going to listen to the interviews. In the press 779 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: box because they're not going to let you in the 780 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 1: locker room. The only people being yeah, you can't even 781 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 1: get down on that level. And there's no and I 782 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,439 Speaker 1: can tell you the TV stations, none of the TV 783 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,919 Speaker 1: stations are sending there's no hanging out on the field beforehand, 784 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: uh during warmups either that's all been restricted, right and 785 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: the other thing and we gotta we gotta go. But 786 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: for local TV stations, there's no access down on the field. 787 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: They're up in the stands shooting at a low level 788 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 1: what they and they're in a stationary spot and usually 789 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 1: they would roam the sidelines and not anymore, not not 790 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: during this. All right, how does it for mick shots? 791 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna break down those matchups? Everson is all prepared 792 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 1: for this tomorrow Cowboys versus Rams, Mick shots again one 793 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 1: thirty tomorrow afternoon.
