The Army All American Game that's 37 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: right up there with the under Armor Game was one 38 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: of the premier high school All America games in the 39 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: country has for years. So those are those ever since 40 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: those are kids that are you're going to be talking 41 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: about here in about three years come NFL Draft time. 42 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: Some of those kids, I bet well you know this 43 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: is I've worked with a group called FBU and they 44 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: have They're the ones who invited me to this one. 45 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: And so I'm the only person at the camp that 46 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: doesn't have them at coaching certificate certification. And so I 47 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: have worked with some of the best kids in the 48 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: country already, Bill for real, A lot of them from 49 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: the Houston area defensive back uh man, they're they're just 50 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: like your digs. I was able to to, you know, 51 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: make them understand how important turnovers can be working on 52 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: the ball skills. So everyone that I've seen, as good 53 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: as they are, they've actually improved as they've you know, 54 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: been under Ottude. It is not just me, but old 55 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: school lim sins them from Chicago. Bears was out there, 56 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: but Lim went the Texas Tech Bill if I'm not mistaken. 57 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, We've we've got some quality h coaches out 58 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: there that are trying to make sure these kids doing 59 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: the right way the right way. You know, Everson, there's 60 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: a analytics site out there that disagrees with you about 61 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: how important interceptions are for cornerbacks. Oh yes, I've got 62 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: to see this. Somebody, somebody told me they had Trayvon 63 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: Diggs ranked as the third best corner on the Cowboys 64 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: and eightieth best in the NFL. Well, they keep looking 65 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: at the numbers that he's giving up, And you know, 66 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: I did the same thing my rookie year. I know 67 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: this is second year, but my rookie year, I did 68 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: the same thing. You know, sometimes they balanced themselves out back. Yeah, 69 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: you give up the big play. But also I don't 70 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: think analytics can can really touch on. And I promise 71 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: it happen with me like you said it happen with Digs. 72 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: It insights, uh inspired, right right, It's somehow effects the 73 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: spirit of the team itself, you know, the crowd itself. 74 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: There's a there's an uplifting aspect of it that inspires 75 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: people on the other side. I know my rookie year 76 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: because I used to try to remember some of my interceptions. 77 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: I'm too over that now, but I would say at 78 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: least eight of my interceptions in nineteen eighty one led 79 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: to games scoring uh drive, touchdown scoring product. Yeah, they 80 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: can't figure that into numbers, by the way. Yeah, that's 81 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I don't know why not. So Ever, 82 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: sin of those dbs that you've worked with that are 83 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: at that combine, they did they sign with any major colleges. 84 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: Some of them had already signed with major college. Dude. 85 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: And what was so amazing though, Bill, some of the 86 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: better dbs, And I want you to look out for 87 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: one dB himself. I coached Shimmy as well, but he 88 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: didn't need any coaching for me. His dad with a 89 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: head of a player, Chad Brooks son Charents Brooks. Yeah, Okay, 90 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: you know about this kid. He's been ahead of the 91 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: time because he was a sophomore in high school. Okay, 92 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: they play him anywhere he wants to play. He's anywhere 93 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: around the in the secondary. His dad and his mom 94 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: just raised him so well Little Alm. Yeah, and and 95 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: and he yeah. I can't say nothing about this kid. 96 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: I coached him. He was almost perfect, Bill, And he 97 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: wasn't the only one. The younger kids my best coach, 98 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: my best uh uh chald have been uh sophomore and 99 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: and and a couple of juniors. And Terrence Brooks from 100 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: Little Alm signed with Texas and uh so that's saying 101 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: Chet Brooks play today a m didn't he chat with me? Yeah, 102 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: go figure right, Uh wow, all right, Uh, Mickey, you 103 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: want to bring us up to speed on what's going 104 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: on around here. Uh, there's a lot going on, Everson, 105 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: You're missing a lot here. As the world, I'm gonna 106 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: mute you guys. So so I'm that background. No. I 107 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: was gonna be okay as the world turns with the 108 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Right, yesterday we find out Michael Parsons had 109 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: tested positive for go COVID. You know, there was like 110 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: a small chance he'd be ready to play Saturday night 111 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, and I think Mike McCarthy took care of 112 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: that today saying he will not play, so he's out. 113 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: He will not have a chance to break the rookie 114 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: sack record that he was a sack and a half 115 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: behind Javan Curse established in nineteen ninety nine. And then 116 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: today we find out that Tyrant Smith and Anthony Brown 117 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: also in reserve COVID, so they won't be planned. And 118 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: he made it sound like there was a couple more 119 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: guys that they had to check on to see, which 120 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: is apparently their reports are. And he said that there 121 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: are some others who are sick, right, and so I'm 122 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: sure they're doing tests to see if if they test 123 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: positive or not. And so it's all up in the air. 124 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: Who's even gonna be on the field on Saturday. Trying 125 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: to challenge the Eagles for how many guys can miss 126 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: the game. And here we go with the Eagles. They 127 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: had twelve on Monday, and Nick Sirianni, their head coach, 128 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: said today that all twelve are eligible will be eligible 129 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: to play on Saturday. He said they are playing, but 130 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: he said they will be eligible Saturday, So that five 131 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: day window will be up and we'll see if they 132 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: take them off reserve COVID. That's right, because if they don't, 133 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: then they get COVID call ups off the practice squad, 134 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: and that would be one way of artificially resting guys, right, 135 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: And Everson sounds like he may have taken us off 136 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: mute there, and so that that means that that means 137 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: Everson wants to chime in. This work actually works pretty well. 138 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: We no, I just wanted to ask if we would 139 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: look if the game would have remained on Sunday, would 140 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: Parsons have it not just a better chance? Would he 141 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: actually be able would he have been actually able to 142 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: play well. I mean if his five days would have 143 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: been up on Saturday. Well, it came out on on Wednesday, 144 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: it was announced on Wednesday, Saturday Sunday, and it was 145 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: after McCarthy's press conference on Wednesday, and so that would 146 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: that would probably put it money. But he didn't have 147 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: to miss five days if he if he's symptomatic and 148 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: tested negative. Yeah. Yeah, so if he to answer your question, Everson, 149 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: if he had to spend the entire five days out, 150 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: then he would not have been able to play on Sunday. 151 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: And I've got another stupid question. When you say the 152 00:09:53,800 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: term reserved covid it did that for some particular distinct 153 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: is that anyone who tests positive go it's it's the 154 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: equivalent of injured reserve. It's COVID reserve. That player essentially 155 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: does not count against the fifty three man roster um 156 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: the whole time they're on COVID reserve. That's just the 157 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: NFL's term for it. And then you have and then 158 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: you have the right at all, and then you have 159 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: the right to call somebody up off your practice squad 160 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: as a reserve covid U replacement, replacement. Yeah. So it's 161 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: not like covid light. It's the cod that's Covida. All 162 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: of them go on the same list. Yeah, okay, yeah, 163 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And so otherwise it's a Friday here, that's 164 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: which means it's a virtual Friday. And maybe they need 165 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: to be all virtual all the time. Now, well they've 166 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: been virtual, you know, except the practice. Can they practice virtually? 167 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: Do that? Right? You just get out the maddened game 168 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: and put all the cowboy guys in there virtually. Yeah, 169 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,599 Speaker 1: that's the same way of practicing virtually. That's exactly like 170 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: you could do that. You could do that. So they 171 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: will practice tomorrow before they take off for the game, uh, 172 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: to head to Philadelphia, and um, you know he still says, 173 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're going there to win. So UM, I 174 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: assume Terrence Steele takes Tyrn Smith's place, Kelvin Joseph will 175 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: take Anthony Brown's place. Um, and now it's getting a 176 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: little dicey at the linebacker spot. But Keanunel is back 177 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: is back, and then Luke Gifford may have to step 178 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: in and take some snaps. Uh when it's like a 179 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: heavy uh for a formation offensively? Um, are the Eagles 180 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: treating this game any differently? Considering their problem. It sounds 181 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: like they they're gonna play, but they're gonna I don't 182 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: know how how intense they're you know, even though the 183 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys chances of improving their playoff seating are not great 184 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: at all because they need tamp both Tampa Bay and 185 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: the Rams to lose. Uh and they would have to 186 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: win themselves to move up. The Eagles, the chances of improving, 187 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: I mean, what they gain from winning are are not 188 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: that big a deal. I mean, they go from the 189 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: seventh seed to the sixth seed. So yeah, so there's 190 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: not there's not real incentive that sound like it. Yes, 191 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: and two three, you know that makes even less sense 192 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: of it than the Cowboys, you know, trying to you know, 193 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: go out and win the game. I think the Cowboys 194 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: still should try and win the game. I'm so old 195 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: school guys. I can't. I can't give offensive this strategic 196 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: resting and and all of that. I mean, because I 197 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: just like playing. I like playing. I wanted to make 198 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: some plays. I wanted to get out there and win 199 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: the game. And I just don't recall ever being put 200 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: in the position to where I chose. I was even 201 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: given the option of deciding not to play though, So 202 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: you didn't have any Antonio Brown in you yell no, 203 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: do you want to talk to Antonio Brown now? Or 204 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: you would? Uh? That's just a mess, isn't it? And 205 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: he's his contract has now been terminated. Yes, yeah, I 206 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: got rid of him. Yeah, those short guys, Bill, you 207 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: just you know, you have you have to keep it 208 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: out on those short guys. Many shark fast guys they can't. Yeah, 209 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: they might go off. He had his own Mick want 210 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: All in the stadium that you know what, you know what. 211 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: It reminded me of that scene in uh Slapshot the 212 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: Hockey movie when the guy did the strip teas on 213 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: the ice took us close off. When I saw that, like, 214 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: oh it's slap shots, I think he was going to 215 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: it seemed as if if the lacest in his pant 216 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 1: didn't kind of maybe knighte it up or something to 217 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: seem like you know how pants were going to right, 218 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: You know when you gotta go to the restaom and 219 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: you get that knight up and they're like, oh lord, 220 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: I can't do so. Yeah, that seemed like what happened 221 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: with him and he that stopped him from continuing with 222 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: discarding his quo. But how many people, though at their jobs, 223 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: would love the opportunity to take this job and shove 224 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: it and do that? Right? That's how I'm going out 225 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: right there? I mean Day Chappelle had of course, Day 226 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: Chappelle's comedy, so he had a when keeping the reel 227 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: goes wrong episode, That's what that was. He kept it real, 228 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: but it went way wrong. He was don't have a 229 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: job now. A lot of a lot of things went 230 00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: wrong a year ago to day too. The show just 231 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: took a turn making you have a mix shot in you. 232 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: I was just I was just looking. I was just 233 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: looking for a transition that it sounds like a target. 234 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: Wasn't am I being targeted? You're not being targeted? All right? Okay, 235 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: it's so uh whey five? Do you if you don't 236 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: have a mix shot in you? Maybe there? Ever, sin 237 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: do you have a quick shot in you before? Well, 238 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: let's put it this way. If if it's something that 239 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: is not universally celebrated, is it an anniversary or what 240 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: do you call it? You will call it a moment 241 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: in time, a moment in time, or a bad moment 242 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: in time? Yeah, what do we call Pearl Harbor Day? 243 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: Is that an anniversary or it's a day infamy day 244 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: of the Yeah, yeah, that's not really an anniversary day 245 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: that lives in infamy. There you go, there you go. 246 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: It's like the D Day invasion. So I'm missing something? 247 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: What what? What? What? Em? I want to mute you guys? 248 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: But what's happening here? What happens? It's uh January sixth? 249 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: Oh lord? Come on, man, comes a few Bill has 250 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: I bet you Bill has some classmates out there. I 251 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: thought I thought maybe Micky wanted to talk about the 252 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: Vikings or something. Yeah, considering the leader of that group. Okay, um, 253 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: so do we keep everything around or what do we 254 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: do here? Come on? Keep me on. I kind of 255 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: like this. We'll see how I think it's. I think 256 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: it works when you mute yourself, then we don't talk 257 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: over each other. And when you're not muted, we know 258 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: that you got something to say. There you go? Yeah, 259 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: can we do it in my hand? I'm like, laid 260 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: in my hand.

Experience Experience, Experience, experience. All right, Bill Jones, 307 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola here inside the SWBC podcast studio at the 308 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: Starr in Frisco, and Everson Walls is making his way 309 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: to San Antonio where he is a coach at the 310 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: All American Combine or something like that in San Antonio. 311 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: And by the way, we need to help Everson out here. 312 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: He tells us that he is just south of Hillsboro. Hi, okay, 313 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: Hillsboro's thirteen miles away. And Chris beam Are, a stute producer, 314 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: said that be prepared for a two hour wait getting 315 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: through Waco. And there is a bypass I understand around Waco, 316 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: but we can't remember what that bypass is. So anyone 317 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: listening it wants to pass along to Everson what exit 318 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: he can take to get around the construction that is 319 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: prevalent in Waco. Let us know, yeah, or just give 320 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: Everson a call. No, no, he's on the phone with us, 321 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: all right, So Everson with Anthony Brown on COVID reserve. 322 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph, who has had increased snaps here recently, is 323 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: going to get probably likely a full dose on Saturday night. 324 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: What have you seen out of Kelvin Joseph? You know, 325 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: it was almost like what I saw from Dig last year, 326 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: a little bit less. So you can see Diggs had 327 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: exceptional skills, but yeah, he just didn't have the preparation 328 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: time of practice time during the heavy parts of COVID. 329 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: And I keep saying that if that was in the pan. 330 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: But what you have with Joseph is a guy not 331 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: much experience, but you he's starting to get more as 332 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: this season has gone on. It's good that he's gotten 333 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: a little bit more playing time here recently because you know, 334 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: that could have been his dresing obviously his rest rehearsal 335 00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: for what's to come. What they saw the Cardinals. You know, 336 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: you need to be prepared for that type of intensity. 337 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: You know, when you play defensive bad guys I really did. 338 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: In any position, you have to be so in tune 339 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: to not just yourself but everything that's going on around you, 340 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, and I know that's kind of hard to 341 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: figure out for a rookie but I had to do 342 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: as a highline. I'm watching the splits on the wide receivers. 343 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking for ibvia set ups and things of that nature. 344 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: So he hadn't had a chance to refine that type 345 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: of you know, his instinct in that regard. But these 346 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: last few games, he's had some moments to at least 347 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: say that he's not just going out there cold turkey. 348 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: And then I would imagine in this case, the next 349 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: guy up would be Nashan Wright, because that's what you 350 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: always have to look at. You know, you get somebody 351 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: to take over, but now what happens if you get 352 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: another injury? Who's up next? And I would imagine it's 353 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: na Shan, right, So well, he'll I mean, he'll be out. 354 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: He came back last week, came back last week and 355 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: look like he had been on COVID. Yeah, and they 356 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: limited well, and they limited his snaps because he was 357 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: coming off COVID, so he would have more of a 358 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: full dose unless they want to limit his snaps just 359 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: because they've got a playoff game the next week. And 360 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: so I mean, we could be in a situation here 361 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: where you know, and we'll see what the Eagles do 362 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: as far as what who they're playing, or how long 363 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: they're if they play whatever starters they do, play, how 364 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: long they're in there. If the Cowboys can get control 365 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: of the game and accomplish what they want to accomplish 366 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: from a positive standpoint, and then other players get playing time, 367 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: I think that we'll probably see na Sean Wright get 368 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: more snaps than what we've seen, don't you think, Mickey, Yeah, 369 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: I think so. And it would be a pretty good 370 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: test if they decide to play their wide receivers because 371 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: it's a pretty good group, right. Uh yeah, if we 372 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: start very good Davanta Smith uh and then uh Quez 373 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: Watkins has caused some problems for people along with Jalen Ragers. 374 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: So you know the interesting on Rager is, uh Ragor 375 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: hasn't produced that. But I mean I'm in surprised, you know, 376 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: first raft draft pick out of TCU. I mean you 377 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: have their stats there. Yeah, as a season, I don't think. 378 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't think JA doesn't doesn't trust him as much 379 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: as he has trusted some other safer options, I think, 380 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, and what they've done offensively, Uh. You know, 381 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: when you look at the Eagles, they started the season 382 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: two and five, they were three and six at one point, 383 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: and now they're sitting there nine and seven and and 384 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: so they've uh, what is that they've won six of 385 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: the last seven games, and they've run the ball. They've 386 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: they've made a concerted effort to run the ball and uh, 387 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: and that's been very effective with Jalen Hurts at quarterback. 388 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: It's a matter of fact, Um, they've moved up in 389 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: rushing offense two number one. Wow, and see that that 390 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: concerns me because that's the best way to keep our 391 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: offense off the field. And let me. Let me run 392 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: down Jalen Raiger's production here during this stretch, because there 393 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: hasn't been much production out of Jalen Rager. He has 394 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: thirty one catches on the season, and when you look back, 395 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: starting with the Detroit game, one catch, no yards. Then 396 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: against the Chargers one catch minus six yards, Denver one catch, 397 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: twelve yards, New Orleans one catch, he had two catches. 398 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: The next game. He had a couple of weeks ago 399 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: against Washington he had three catches in the game. So 400 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: he has not been involved that much in their offense. 401 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: And you know, when when I go through the opponents 402 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: stats every week, it's just really striking how little that 403 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: the Eagle are doing in their passing game, and that 404 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,479 Speaker 1: which is a testament to they made a concerted effort 405 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: to take advantage of the skills that Hurts has running 406 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: the football as a quarterback. And you know, just a 407 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: variety of running backs even fighting through injuries with Miles 408 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: Sanders being having missed some time. Boston Scott's the guy 409 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: they've been leaning on lately, and Jordan Howard has kind 410 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: of revived his career with Philadelphia this season, and then 411 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: Goddard he has led them in receptions in four of 412 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: the last six games. So and anytime you're running the ball, guys, 413 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: the tight end is the safest throughoute when you want 414 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: to go play action. And ever since Ertz left, then 415 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: you're you're looking at guy that really just taken over 416 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: as far as the intermedia passing game. And it's so 417 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: funny when you do run the ball successfully. The big 418 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: plays from the past the game have still opened up Bill. 419 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: You know, he's pulled off some good numbers. Some of 420 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: them are just dinky fants that end up going for 421 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: long ways, but it allows his wide receivers to get 422 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: those fifty fifty balls down the field because the safety 423 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: is not back there to hell, they're up there peaking 424 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: then knows this in the line looking for a running back. 425 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: But DeVante Smith, the Heisman Trophy winner from last year 426 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: first round draft pick, has sixty one catches on the 427 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: season five touchdowns. Now, the interesting thing about those tight 428 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: ends is that Goddard was one of those guys who 429 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: went on COVID reserve on Monday. And we'll see. Even 430 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: though Sirianni says that all those players are eligible to 431 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: play on Saturday, Willie play on Saturday and then they're 432 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: backup tight end, there's more of a blocking tight end. 433 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: Jack Stole also was one of those COVID guys. So 434 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: they're down to like no tight ends. You know what 435 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: they've They've rushed for at least one hundred yards in 436 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: fourteen of sixteen games, with a high of two thirty 437 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: eight the second time the first time around against Washington. 438 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: So they've got one, two, three, four, five games with 439 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: more than two hundred yards of rushing. And what pads 440 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: those rushing stats is wouldn't you have a quarterback who 441 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: who has several games where he's run for sixty or 442 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: seventy yards And I was going to look up. What 443 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: his totals sent me up? Some kind of record. I 444 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: thought he had achieved some type of mouth. He's He's 445 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: at seven hundred eighty four yards rushing on the season, 446 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: five six yards a carry, has ten touchdowns rushing the football, 447 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: and you got him sixteen touchdowns passing and ten touchdowns rushing. 448 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: So the sirianni, he's used the talents that hurts has 449 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: and uh. And you can just tell by the way 450 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: their season has progressed. Now they haven't played a lot 451 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: of playoff teams on their schedule here, well, they haven't 452 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: beaten one of them yet. Well you look in this 453 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: stretch where they have won six of their last seven games. 454 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: They beat Denver. How the Cowboys do against Dewn Not 455 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: so well? No, No, it was thirty to thirteen over Denver. 456 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: They beat New Orleans forty to twenty nine. They got 457 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: forty points on the Saints Giants. The Giants was the 458 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: was the one game they lost. There was something wrong 459 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: with that game for the Saints thirteen thirteen seven eight 460 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: year Oh yeah, against the Eagles. Uh. And then they 461 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: Jets they won thirty three eighteen Washington they won twenty 462 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: seven seventeen beat the Giants thirty four to ten, and 463 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: then last week be Washington twenty to sixteen. So what 464 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: I rattled off seven or eight teams Denver, No, not 465 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: going the playoffs and still has a chance. Giants out, 466 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: Jets out, Washington out, Giants out, Washington out. They are 467 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: the best of the lower half of But they have 468 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: a chance against the Cowboys. Yeah, they do. I'm sorry. Yeah, 469 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: I've becoming played down to our competition sometimes. I mean, 470 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: that's that's on us. That's not on the Eagles or 471 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: the backles, anyone left. Okay. I was looking at the 472 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: first half of their season, and of course these schedules 473 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: when you're playing against the division rival, they're very similar 474 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. Uh schedule, but uh, Kansas City they 475 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: lost to forty two to thirty, and they lost to 476 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay twenty eight, twenty two. You know, in general, 477 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: the NFC East had a pretty easy schedule this year, 478 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: playing against the it seems like against the NFC South 479 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: and the AFC West, well, strange to say, West, it 480 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: seems like a strong. Yeah, and you got the Chargers 481 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: in the Raiders that are playing for playoff spots this week. 482 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: But what I'm getting at is across the league though, 483 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: and I think that's what makes these these playoffs exciting. 484 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: There doesn't seem to be the dominant team that you 485 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: typically have. Well, nobody has dominated throughout the entire season 486 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: right now. That Green Bay that everyone loves the word, 487 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, green Bay came close to it, but they've 488 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: had a couple of close calls where you're going, well, 489 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: it's wrong with that team. Um, But I mean Kansas City, 490 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: they've they've got it together here lately. You know, Cincinnati 491 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: seems to be hitting at their stride at the right time, 492 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: just judging by what they did against Kansas City last week. 493 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: Over in the AFC, Buffalo was the team to beat. 494 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: A lot of people thought leading into the season. They're 495 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: the fourth seed. Tennessee has come on strong in the 496 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: second after earn the number one seed right now over there, 497 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: But then you look in the NFC and you think 498 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys chances against the playoff teams. They can 499 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: beat every single one of those teams in the playoffs. However, 500 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: they can also lose to every single one of those 501 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: teams in the world. Every one of those teams you 502 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: named out, Bill, I mean, they've hit them bumps in 503 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: the road as well, right, I mean also just as 504 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: confounding as what the Cowboys are doing. You know, every 505 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: team you named out they have had that stretch in 506 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: that season. At least one they were doubting Jack Allen 507 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: after touting him as the MVP of the of the league. 508 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: And you know, the number one AFC team to go 509 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. So you can either all of 510 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: those teams, you can go back and say that there 511 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: was an unusual moment that was very uncharacteristic for me 512 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: for all of them. And if the Cowboys should win 513 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: and they're the fourth seed, and if none of the 514 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: wild card teams pull an upset, then you better book 515 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: your flight to somewhere in Wisconsin to get to Bay 516 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: and probably a Chili Knight too. I ain't scared. Ain't scared. 517 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: I am not scared. You're scared about the Chili Knight. No, No, 518 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: I am not. I played in Boys either, whole one game. 519 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: Nothing scared me. So so basically for the Cowboy, let's 520 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: say let's just looking ahead, and let's say that the 521 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: Chalk wins this week. Okay, where the Cowboys wind up 522 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: as the four seed and you've got Green Bay is 523 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: the one seed. The Rams is the two seed, Tampa 524 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: Bay's the three in Dallas the fourth, So Dallas plays 525 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: Arizona and then to avoid that second round trip to 526 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: Green Bay, they need The Cowboys will need either San 527 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: franci Cisco to win at Tampa or Philadelphia to win 528 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: at the Ramps, or could be New Orleans if they 529 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: sneak in. Yeah, one of those three teams, if that's right, 530 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: it would be, and it would be if New Orleans 531 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: beat Atlanta, New Orleans would take the place of San 532 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: Francisco in the playoffs. So you're right, So yeah, they 533 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: would need one of those to put off getting to 534 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay. That's what's so damaging about the lost Arizona 535 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: last week, is that losing that seat and losing where 536 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna have the it's staring you in the face 537 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: at the second round, the divisional playoff round. You're having 538 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: to go to Green Bay. And the worst part is 539 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: that you lost by three, and you know, we can 540 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: come up with about five plays to make up for 541 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: those three points that just did at one leg five plays, 542 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: but just one leg one Wait, I thought that was 543 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: his nickname, Greg Delay. Yeah, yeah, he's got you use 544 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: the wrong leg that's what happened the other day.

I mentioned at 590 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: the end of the show yesterday that I was headed 591 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: to the American Airline Center because it was Dirk Night 592 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: last night for the Dallas Mavericks. They retired number forty one, 593 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: and I was there pregame. I went back to the 594 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: TV station for once the game started because the ceremony 595 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: I knew, was going to run into the newscast and 596 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: it would be difficult to do the sport. Can't do 597 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: the sportscast. Well, the ceremony is going on. But it 598 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: was a nice night there and they beat the Golden 599 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: State Warriors and ceremony was pretty cool afterwards. Yeah, and 600 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: everybody stayed. Yeah, yeah, that was amazing that people, you know, 601 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: the what is it, the commercial or the old people 602 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,879 Speaker 1: wanted they're leaving before they even seen it. Did everybody stay? 603 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: It looked not everybody, okay. Chris Bieb says, not everybody stayed. Okay. 604 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: Did the Cowboy players stay for the ceremony? I think 605 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: they did because when they showed them, I didn't lost 606 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, that was a setup for Crispe. I 607 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: got you, all right, Mickey, our last segment here, we 608 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: got ever soon on those way to San Antonio. You 609 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: made it to Waco. Yet I am passing Tokyo Rod 610 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: Tokeyo Tokyo, whatever that is, and I am passing right 611 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:13,320 Speaker 1: under UH Highway eight eighteen fifty eight, and that means 612 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: a lot. I actually, I actually think I'm ins, Oh, 613 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: you're in hills now, you made it there, So I 614 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: think I think yesterday. Now, remember I can't remember what 615 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: we talked about the day before or the last second 616 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: or the last second. Um, but I don't think we 617 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: mentioned the passing of Ralph Neely. We need to do that. 618 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: We need to do that. You don't want to mute Everson, 619 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: so you can talk or Dollan and less Everson. Now, 620 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 1: Everson didn't cross paths with him while he was dying. 621 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: I did not go ahead. Yeah, he played with the 622 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 1: Cowboys from sixty five through seventy seven. Uh, and get this, 623 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: he was I know, how does this happen? He was 624 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: a four time All Pro but only a two time 625 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: Pro Bowler. He was a offensive tackle, and he made 626 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: the All Decade sixties team the old here we go 627 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: another one. The only person on the All Decade team 628 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: in the sixties that is not in the Hall of Fame. Wow. 629 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: And he had a pretty remarkable career planned you know, 630 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: kind of bookend tackles with Raphael Wright passed away yesterday, 631 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: just a little bit before we started the show, unfortunately, 632 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: seventy eight years old. But the thing that I think 633 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: most people remember about him, the Cowboys drafted him in 634 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: the second round and the Houston Oilers, yes, drafted him 635 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: in the second round, and he got crossways with the 636 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: contract that they kind of heat says they fudged on him. 637 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: I say, what what I want to understand? How two 638 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: teams to draft? There was an AFL team there, all right, Mutulf, 639 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: that was good. That was that was a good no. 640 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: But that's a good point because a lot of people 641 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: don't realize that before the merger in nineteen seventy and 642 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 1: they tried signing him while he was still at Oklahoma 643 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 1: by the way, UH, and UH he thought they lied 644 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: to him about something, so he's like, no, I'm not 645 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: signing with them, and he backed out and the Cowboys 646 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: signed him, and then it became a court case. UH 647 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 1: in the late sixties after UH, the NFL and AFL 648 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: decided that there was going to be a merger and 649 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys ended up having to pay the Oilers once 650 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: there was a combined draft between the teams from the 651 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: AFL and the NFL, UH several draft choices and had 652 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: to agree to play him in the free season. That's 653 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: how the Governor's Cup started. Wow. Very cool story, right, yeah, 654 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: and that's why we play. That's how it started anyway. Wow. 655 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: But but okay, And that was one of the terms 656 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 1: of the merger agreement right between the NFL and the AFL, 657 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: was that the Neely contract dispute be resolved. In nineteen 658 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: sixty six, the Cowboys finally agreed with the Oilers to 659 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,399 Speaker 1: send draft choices a first, second, and two fifth round 660 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 1: choices in the sixty seven draft, and the Cowboys were 661 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: going to take it to court. They were trying to 662 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: take it all the way to the Supreme Court, and 663 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court said, yeah, we got other things to 664 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: worry about. Well, wow, I think it just becomes a 665 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 1: fifth and contest, don't you think? Right? Yeah? Who? It 666 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: doesn't matter who wants to be right, you know. And 667 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 1: and fortunately, fortunately for him, when the Cowboys finally won 668 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: the first Super Bowl that nineteen seventy one season, he 669 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: had gotten in a motorcycle accident and was out for 670 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Missed that Super Bowl, but 671 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: the last year he played, nineteen seventy seven, the Cowboys 672 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: went back to the Super Bowl again and he was 673 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: able to actually be on the field winning a Super 674 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:25,399 Speaker 1: Bowl in seventy seven. I was thinking of something last night, 675 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: guys and Bill, you you kind of prompted the Thomas 676 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: and You're talking about how amazing Dan Reeves was and 677 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,760 Speaker 1: how important he was to that Cowboy not just the players, 678 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 1: but of course to the staff as well. Correct, And 679 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: as you look at not just him, but Bill, as 680 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 1: you look at that entire team, you know, I never 681 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: met Ralph nearly, but I remember the excellence. You understand, 682 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: that whole team was just full of excellent players that 683 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,879 Speaker 1: have They seemed to be of extremely high character, all 684 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: of them you think about Cornell Green, you think about Male, 685 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: you think about herb Adley Cornman. You think about the 686 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 1: entire office in line that the Cowboys had at that time. 687 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: Although somewhat undersized, they kicked but every weech all right, 688 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,760 Speaker 1: and they they were just one of the more consistent 689 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: parts of the Dallas Cowboys. Lord, when you think about it, 690 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: Tom Landrye depended heavily on his offensive line being a 691 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: solid unit. So you just look at that entire team, man, 692 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: and I thought about last night, and I was just 693 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: overwhelmed by the gentleman on that team. Ray Field, right, 694 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: you know. And the guys are defense, Jeff no Pugh, 695 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, Bob Lilly. You just look at that team. 696 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 1: It's not it's no surprise that they ended up being 697 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: at a as they were. Not to mention Bob Hayes, 698 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 1: oh Don Perkins, and think about it and think about 699 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 1: they were they were the fun they would be. Uh. 700 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say they have a high character, but I 701 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: think that a little more fun, a little bit more 702 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: fun than Neely had a heck of a sense of 703 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,720 Speaker 1: humor even after planned. But how about this. He played 704 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: thirteen years and he went to the playoffs, eleven times 705 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: the odd times they didn't make It was his rookie 706 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: year in sixty five they went seven and seven. It 707 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: was their first non losing season. Uh. And then in 708 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four was it before the dirty doesn't arrived. 709 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: In seventy five, they had a winning record, they just 710 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs. You know, it's interesting you bring 711 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 1: that up ever since, because I've thought a lot about 712 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: that through the years, and especially you know, Mickey and 713 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: I have hosted a legend show on the radio for 714 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 1: a number of years, and so a lot of those 715 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,880 Speaker 1: guys from the sixties and seventies have been guests on 716 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,879 Speaker 1: the show, and not forgetting Yeah, yeah, there's another one, 717 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: you know. And and it's I look at it as 718 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,280 Speaker 1: uh they have the mental makeup of those players. Uh 719 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: they are uh, those those are players with probably strong 720 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 1: football I ues, but just in general, Uh, there was 721 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 1: something about the acquisition. And of course back then you 722 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: could acquire so many players, whether they be free agents 723 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 1: like yourself or through the draft, and and the guys 724 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: that made it are guys that headed upstairs, and you know, 725 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: and so many of those were successful after their careers 726 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: as well. Look at the linebackers. And yeah, I mean 727 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: and and when I when I study draft prospects, Yeah, 728 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: that's exactly right. You had a lumber company and a 729 00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:01,399 Speaker 1: cleaning service right right after after the football I saw. 730 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 1: I saw he had a story at airport. Gil has 731 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: told this story many times, but I saw, I don't 732 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: know a distributorship. I don't know why he tweeted this out. Uh, 733 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: but and I don't know if it was some sort 734 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: of date or whatever, but he was reminded everybody that 735 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: part of Leroy Jordan's uh signing bonus, Uh, they bought 736 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 1: him like a brand new I believe it was a Cadillac, right, 737 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: And they they got a better deal here in Dallas 738 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: than they could in Alabama, where he was living, where 739 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 1: he grew up. And so Gil buys the Cadillac, and 740 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna drive it to Alabama to give it to 741 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: Leroy Jordan, and somewhere around Starkville, Mississippi, he hits a 742 00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: cow and totals the car, right, And and he said, 743 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 1: fortunately he knew one of the coaches at Mississippi State, right, 744 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: and they knew the sheriff because they were going to 745 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 1: charge Gil for killing the cow. And then he had 746 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: to go and tell Leroy Jordan, I won't get you 747 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 1: your car. This one's not gonna quite be good enough 748 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: for you.
