1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick Shot

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official

4
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys apt Now here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,

5
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: and Mickey Spagnola. Well, we made a streak of one

6
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: one straight when all three of us here in the

7
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: SWBC Mortgage studio for Mick Shots. But today it's myself,

8
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola, Everson Walls, and Bill Jones. I think he's

9
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: been burning rubber or something. He said he had a

10
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: tire problem, and you guys thought it would be me,

11
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: didn't you, right if anybody was gonna be oh yeah,

12
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be ever since. And you know he had

13
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: to go to the tire place to get it fixed

14
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: or get more tires, I'm not sure, and you know

15
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: how long that takes. So Bill should join us shortly, hopefully,

16
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: and in the meantime, Everson and myself will try to

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: hold down the fort here. As the Cowboys are into

18
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: the off season with strength and conditioning going on. This

19
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: weekend Friday and Saturday, the Rookie Mini camp will take place.

20
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Be interesting to see just how much they're allowed to

21
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: do out on the field. I know, ever, since it's

22
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: basically gonna be individual drills, the position guys, you can't

23
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: go up against each other during this mini camp, but

24
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: it is a mandatory mini camp, so they should have

25
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: around let's see thirteen undrafted free agents, eleven draft choices,

26
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: and a couple veterans. So somewhere or guys, let's put

27
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: it this way, they were on the team, uh last year.

28
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: I think Ben d Nucci qualifies. They need a quarterback

29
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, throw passes to wide receivers.

30
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: So probably twenty five twenty six guys will be out

31
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: there uh this weekend, so uh, that certainly is going on.

32
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: I think since last we uh spoke on Mick shots,

33
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had a visit from quarterback Jeff driscoll. And

34
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: while everybody was all excited that he was going to

35
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: sign immediately, I think after he got here, the Cowboys

36
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: found are they probably already knew the rest of us

37
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: found out that he had more visits to take. Now

38
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's a pretty Cinderella. They wants to take

39
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: a guy that's uh, he's searching for his fifteen fifth

40
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: team since being drafted in the sixth round of twenty sixteen. Wow. So, uh,

41
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: we'll see where that one goes. That was always going

42
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: to be I think a financial thing. How much can

43
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offer him? Um? I mean he's only started

44
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: nine games, so I don't know that that, uh is

45
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: the prerequisite to be a veteran backup quarterback. But at

46
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: least he's been in the league. Tell me something about him.

47
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: What's up with Jeff driscoll? I must admit I am

48
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: in the dock here. Yeah, he's he just never I

49
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: don't know if it was recognition because you know when

50
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: he when he transferred from Florida the Louisiana Tech. Yes,

51
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: he had a right down the street Louisiana. Yeah, he had.

52
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: He had a nice season there. Uh, you know through

53
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: the ball well. Um, but from my understanding, arm strength

54
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a problem. It was just more of recognition and

55
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: seeing things and um. So we'll see where that one goes.

56
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that Cowboys still need to

57
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: take care of, uh, is figure out who that backup

58
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: quarterback is going to be. They have their own three

59
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: candidates still with Ben Denucci, Cooper Rush, and Garrett Gilbert

60
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: and another veteran potential backup got resigned. Blaine Gabbert resigned

61
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: with the Bucks, so oh not coming here. So he's

62
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: They actually gave him a two and a half million

63
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: dollars base salary for one year. And it is so

64
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: nice to be a quarterback, right, and the best thing

65
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: to be accomplished don't have to play, yes, just you know,

66
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: get used to the clipboard, and when it's time to play,

67
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: you go out there and you just kind of stink

68
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: up the joint and they're like, no, no, your best

69
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: place is over here with the clipboard, right, instead of

70
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: all the team. No, you're gonna stick around with the

71
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: clipboard as a quarterback. How many defensive backs do you

72
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: see sticking around after they've gotten toasted two or three? Right, Hey, hey,

73
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: let's go there and then just hold the clipboard for

74
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. I just don't see that happening. But

75
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: what I do see is a little bit of tear

76
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: coming up into my eye. I see the thirteen undrafted

77
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: free agents, right, if we're talking about nineteen eighty one,

78
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: that would be myself, Michael Downs would be in that category. Guy.

79
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: Just a whole bunch of guys, A couple of guys

80
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: from Ohio State back in nineteen eighty one, and a

81
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: couple more kind of on their way in eighty three,

82
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: right with Bill Bates. And yeah, just think about that, man,

83
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, we're just looking at them as

84
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: just you know, insignificant individuals. You know, next thing, you know,

85
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: you might see it. Like you said, Bill Bates in there,

86
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Everson Walls, Michael Downs marked two and that you, I mean,

87
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: do you think we have one? Well, it's to be

88
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: difficult because when you had eleven draft choices, you're gonna

89
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: have to really miss for one of those guys or

90
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: two of them to be able to make the team.

91
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: And not knowing what the OTAs are going to look like, like,

92
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: how much of an opportunity are you really going to

93
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: have to go out there and show what you can do? Right?

94
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: And at this point, you know, and what if they say, oh,

95
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: we're doing OTAs virtually, Yeah, then you really don't have

96
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: much of a chance to be able to make the team.

97
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: And you know, who knows where the preseason's gonna go,

98
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: so that stuff is still up in the air. I

99
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: have to say, if I would to come in as

100
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: a free agent under these circumstances, and it was still

101
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: the Tom Landry Dallas Cowboys with the same flex defense.

102
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: I still think I would have gotten it. Yeah, but

103
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've made the team right, But

104
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: I still think I would have gotten here in regards

105
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: to what to do, regardless of how few practices we've had,

106
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, what kind of reps would I would get.

107
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: I still think I could. I could get it because

108
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: those couple of times Gene starters threw us in the fire.

109
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean like during preseason in a ball game. I

110
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: remember when Randy Hughes went down and I had to

111
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: come in in the red zone and we're talking about

112
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: playing thirty three X in the red zone, and I

113
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: just had to go for it. You know what I mean.

114
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: You couldn't. You couldn't think at the time. You had

115
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: to know. And you know, the other safety wasn't looking

116
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: at me. He's a veteran. I'm a rookie. You know,

117
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: they don't hear rookies back there. I'm like, hey, well

118
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: they don't want to hear it. I'm here. You should

119
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: have studied, and just so happened. I gathered right, So

120
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: when you got here as an undrafted free agent. Did

121
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: you start counting the numbers of the veterans and going, Okay,

122
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to beat somebody out to be able

123
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: to start doing that until we got to camp, all right,

124
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: And then that's when the veterans got there, So our

125
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: two weeks were up. Nobody's counting anything right now. It

126
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: was twenty five rookies. Okay, it was twenty five rookies,

127
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: so nobody's counting anything but twenty five right now. You

128
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: got you have to find your place in line just

129
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: to go through the drill. There was some guys didn't

130
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: even make it through drills almost all day because there

131
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: was so many of us stacked up. So you didn't

132
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: count veterans at that time. But when they came there

133
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: two weeks later, which is the way we used to

134
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: do it. Veterans came in two weeks after the rookies

135
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: were all worn out, nappy headed tans, i mean, breath stinking,

136
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: when we were just horrible. By the time the veterans

137
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: got there. They come in looking all pretty, and then

138
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: that's when we started to count. We saw Aaron Mitchell,

139
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: we saw Steve Wilson, you know, we saw Wade Manning.

140
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: You know, these are guys that, for some reason, I

141
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: guess you look at the Cowboys then as now, wasn't

142
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: much put into the secondary. There just wasn't much put

143
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: into it. As much as it was an extremely complicated defense,

144
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: flex defense, four defensive backs, they just didn't didn't put

145
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: much money into defensive backs. You had, Charlie was still there,

146
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: you had Cliff was just had just left, Cliff Harris

147
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: had just left Hall of Famer. Uh, Dennis Sturman was

148
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: being moved over to corner. I mean, we were just

149
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: a hodgepod, I would say, less potential than they have

150
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys secondary right now. So with you and

151
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: Downs making it in the secondary, who didn't make it

152
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: like you cost somebody when we started counting numbers. Yeah,

153
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: it was gonna be between Steve Wilson and Aaron Mitchell,

154
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: those two guys. Those two guys, because Benny Blonds is

155
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: a veteran, he's gonna stay. Benny was until Bill Bates

156
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: got there. Benny was integral in our in our plans. Still,

157
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: of course, Charlie was still our starter. Dexter Clinkscale being

158
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: a very close You could have just said Dexter or Charlie.

159
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: But you know, Charlie because of the experience. And so

160
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: we're sitting in the meeting room. The numbers have been

161
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: figured out through all the defensive backs, and so we said, okay,

162
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: one person has to go. We step into the meeting room.

163
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: All of us are still there. That one person has

164
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: not gone. The number is still the same. By the

165
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: time the meeting started, someone had tapped Aaron Mitchell on

166
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: his shoulder and told him he was going to Tampa Bay. Oh,

167
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: so that's how trade to the meeting? You yes, Well

168
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: or Fellows? Mike Downs was all the way in her

169
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: He was in choice. Fellows was a draft choice seventh

170
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: round seven B if I'm not mistake, University of Missouri,

171
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: though wide receiver. He came in. It was seven to

172
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: eighty seven B. He and Ken Miller. Ken Miller from

173
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Fellows was seven B. If I'm not mistaken,

174
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: I may have it mixed up and Fellows. It was

175
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: between Fellows and myself really on who would have been

176
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: able to go. I had three interceptions in the preseason,

177
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: but I wasn't drafted. So what kind of weight does

178
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: that give me? You understand? So that's what we didn't

179
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: understand was Aaron Mitchell going to be the guy that

180
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: stuck on and was I'm going to be the guy

181
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: that was out of there? So I think it was

182
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: between Mitch, myself and Ron Fellows on who would have

183
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: been that third person when they found a place for

184
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Mitch to go. Then all of a sudden, we're looking around,

185
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: Mitch is gone, and everybody's kind of well, the young

186
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: guys are kind of exhale, especially me and round Fellows.

187
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: So that's how that went. So all we gonna find

188
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: a Michael Downs in this free agent, these these undrafted

189
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: free agents. And the other question I have spags when

190
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: you're looking at just how bad our defense was and

191
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: looking at how we attacked the defense in the draft

192
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: and free agency. By the way, with all the safeties

193
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: they signed in free agency, yes, of course, the new

194
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: guys from Atlanta, those guys. How many I see more

195
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: people making the team than we think. I mean, you

196
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: talk about draft choices, how many do you usually make

197
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: the team in the draft? You know what I'm thinking,

198
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: If you got eleven, if you get seven to make

199
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: the team and not counting the practice, you've probably done well, right,

200
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, not everybody is gonna make it. Uh, the

201
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: last guy drafted probably. You know, I don't think he

202
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: should go out and spend his signing bonus just yet.

203
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: There's my list here, Matt Farni. Yeah, he ought to

204
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: be careful the safety Israel, although they kind of liked

205
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: that he was a corner h mukamu mumukuamu. Uh, yeah,

206
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: you better be careful there. But I could see one

207
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: two rhythm with I could see seven and I think

208
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, Nashon Wright, we'll see, right, wasn't thought of

209
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: highly by other teams in the draft. The Cowboys did so. Yeah.

210
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: I think I think the key thing of all this

211
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: is is going to be the competition because if you

212
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: if you look at it, you know they ended up

213
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: uh drafting uh three defensive linemen, but they signed three

214
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: veterans in free agency, Basham, Carlos Watkins, and Brett irv Urban,

215
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: so you know there's three guys right there. Uh. They

216
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: limited the competition with releasing uh Antoine Woods last week,

217
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: which you know, it was too bad. I don't know

218
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: if he was pricing himself out now he was a

219
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: restricted free agent. He was going to count two point

220
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: one million. But I think they were a little worried about.

221
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if they gave him an offer, like

222
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: to get a two year deal and then lower his

223
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: base salary for this year and give him a little

224
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: upfront money, or if it was just the fact that

225
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: he just didn't fit into the defensive tackle position that

226
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: Quinn envisions with a three hundred and thirty pounds sixth

227
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: round draft choice that they brought in. Right, I gotta say,

228
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: coming from this defense, no matter how well you might

229
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: think you have played, considering all the circumstances, I can't

230
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: see many of our free agents or veterans getting much

231
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: love from other teams across the league. I mean, oh,

232
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: you mean, if you're gonna cut somebody, if I Wood,

233
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: I just see Woods was going to visit the Colts,

234
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean he would really and you know, we saw

235
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: how well he played. Yeah, we saw that he did

236
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: as well as he could under circumstances. Does everyone else

237
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: see that? Does does the rest of the league see that?

238
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm if I'm a GM or if

239
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm type of scout and I'm looking at the Cowboys

240
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: having the worst run defense in the history of the

241
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: franchise this past season, why would I go after somebody

242
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: from our defensive line or linebackers. Why would I go

243
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: out to somebody that we just released or was just

244
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, well resigned. In his defense, when he finally

245
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: got to start those last seven games, they played a

246
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: little bit better. Do you think the other teams the

247
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: position played better. Let's think that the teams actually are

248
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: they gonna the deep enough to Terry Poe was so

249
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: bad that me and you could have gone in and

250
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: played better. Well, a little insider trading there. So the

251
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: Colts defensive coordinators Matt Eberflews, who had been the Cowboys

252
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys under Rod and Mirror knowing, so maybe

253
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: he asked Rod Heywood about this guy. You know, we're

254
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: looking for a kind of a run stopping nose tackle. Uh. So,

255
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: maybe they're probably looking at season trading and looking at

256
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: this season as an exception, right, you know, to the rule,

257
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: and they're saying, Okay, let's go back to what we

258
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: liked about Woods in the beginning. Right, they'll probably go

259
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: back to the previous notes forget this past season. Right,

260
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: this was in an operation. Let's see what we what

261
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: we thought about him before this past season. That has

262
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: to be the thought process, right, and and like I said,

263
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: so this is going to be interesting with all the

264
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: competition and think about it. They also had five defensive

265
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: starters uh in that final game that aren't hearing right,

266
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: So you lose Chitubey Woozier, Xavier Woods, Tyrone Crawford, Sean Lee,

267
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: and Alden Smith. So those guys, uh, basically uh and

268
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: oh this and que guy. They they had six guys

269
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: that totally of the snaps on defense. So there's gonna

270
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: be some openings. Now we assume Kelvin Kelvin Joseph is

271
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: a walk in starter at corner. I don't know, uh,

272
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: oss O Diggi Zua, Yeah, you know, but you got Tyring,

273
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill coming back, Deville Gallimore played well. So I

274
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: think there's just gonna be some really good uh competition

275
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: and death and death and maybe a little bit depth, yeah,

276
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: and a little bit more size. So if you look

277
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: at the draft choices, uh, I mean the only walk

278
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: in starter for sure is Micah Parsons and boy he

279
00:17:53,640 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: better start. Yeah. Yeah, I just have a drama free

280
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: training camp, you know. And I did a little bit

281
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: more and we'll get into this at some point. You know,

282
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: maybe next week after we actually see him out here.

283
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: But what a stud athlete he was in high school.

284
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: He didn't just play football eighth bill Bill said, he

285
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: and he uh. And then when he got to uh

286
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: Harris Harrisburg High he transferred from another school. Uh. They

287
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: went to the state championship. His junior year, he was

288
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: the star running back. Not only the star running back,

289
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: but the star defensive end. Looked huge, right, he looked huge.

290
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: As soon as and as soon as uh the football

291
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: season was over, he was starting on the basketball team.

292
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: And then he ran track. He was running the hundred

293
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: meters at two hundred and twenty pounds. Localf, Yes, yeah,

294
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: who by the way, found out that football speed and

295
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: track speed maybe a little bit right, unless you know

296
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: how good Willie Galt and Ron Brown was how fast

297
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: they were. They end up being on the World championship

298
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: for about one hundred meter relay team. Yeah, and Metcalf

299
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: can't touch them. He ran up. He ran in that

300
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: in that meet, the USA Track and Field Golden Games

301
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: and Distance Open. Uh, he ran at ten three seven, right,

302
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: So he was last in his heat, just in his heat,

303
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: and he was fifteen of seventeen guys that ran the hundred.

304
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: So for him to qualify for the US Trials Olympic Trials,

305
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: he needed to run a ten point zero five and

306
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: he is ten point three seven. Let's think about the

307
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: guys that we know that were fast. We just talked

308
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: about Ron Brown, Rams, Willie Galt, Bears, Tony do a set, Yes,

309
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: Tony Doo a set could have in the race. I

310
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: bet he could have. He could have. I wonder if

311
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: Dion would have could have. Yeah. And also Chris Johnson

312
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: from Tennessee right running back, you know, and I saw

313
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: I saw the video of Metcalf's hundred, and he was

314
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: good for fifty yards and then the guys start pulling

315
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: away a little bit. I think, lets you know how

316
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: fast those guys were, how fast Doorset was Chris Johnson.

317
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one of the most impressive thing I

318
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: saw in a hundred uh in in track trials in

319
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: eighty eight and the Olympics was Florence Joiner Griffin flow Joe.

320
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: She had the one leg, one leg, one tight leg, yeah,

321
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: and she at at sixty or seventy meters she was

322
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: still accelerating. Most people, you know after fifty or sixty

323
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: year probably not at top speed anymore. No, she was

324
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: getting faster. I had to learn something. Of all people,

325
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: herschel Walker. I never listened to him, but because I

326
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: must have overheard it, I here he wants a run

327
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: for governor. Yeah, he needs to just go back and

328
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: run forwards. But he told me something that was interesting.

329
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: He said, track is about not about who's the fastest necessarily.

330
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: How did they put it? He said, it wasn't just

331
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: about racing the opponent and being faster than him, you don't.

332
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: It's who slows down the soonest, right, you see what

333
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, because it's not like you just

334
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: talked about top end speed. We all come out a

335
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: certain way, but how long can you maintain that pace? Right? Right?

336
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 1: And so most of course slow down at the end.

337
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: So that's that was very interesting on how we said it,

338
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: and it made me look at track a totally different way.

339
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: It's not about how fast you accelerate through the line.

340
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: It's about who slows you know, who doesn't slow down?

341
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Who can maintain That's my

342
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: lasting memory from the hundred meter championship race in eighty

343
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: eight in the Olympics, when Ben Johnson beat Carl Lewis, Yes,

344
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there watching and I had a really

345
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: good media seat. I was like in the middle of

346
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: the hundred meters and Ben Johnson's going right, Carl Lewis

347
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: is motoring, but all of a sudden, Carl Lewis is

348
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: like this, He's looking. He ain't getting any closer. He's looking.

349
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: And the third time he looked with like ten meters

350
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: to go, and he can't believe he's getting beat. Now.

351
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: If you can see the look on his face as

352
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: he's running, yeah, that's perturbed, Like how is this happen?

353
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: How am I not catching that? He knew something was wrong,

354
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: and then he knew something afterwards. We knew something was

355
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: wrong because after the race, the runners would go into

356
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: the locker room they would do their testing, and we

357
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: would sit in this to militarized zone and they would

358
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: walk back out for interviews. Well, we waited and waited

359
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: and waited for Ben Johnson and he finally came out

360
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: after a long time and every we're all sitting there

361
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: going on something I don't know, And yeah, they tested

362
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: him right away, he tested positive, tested him right away. Yeah,

363
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: you know when the guy wins like that, just come

364
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: in side, now, come here, we have a test for

365
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: you right here. And let's remember now Johnny Lamb Jones, Yes,

366
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: was another one that we had here. Ye now, that

367
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: is world class speed right there. That's not you know,

368
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: just a uh. He wasn't to me, he wasn't a

369
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: football player. We always talked about Bob Hayes talked about

370
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: guys like Dorset. They were football players who just happened

371
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: to be fast. Right, There's a difference between being a

372
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: track guy and trying to be trying to play football.

373
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: That's what Johnny Lamb tried to do. Alexander Right. Alexander

374
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: right is another same thing. Remember the speed, Well you

375
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: weren't you were gone. That was the next year ninety

376
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: He was the second round pick. Got here late because

377
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: he held out. His agent was arguing that he was

378
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: a first round pick. He got picked twenty eighth. Yeah,

379
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: but that year twenty eighth because the Cowboys forfeited their

380
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: first round pick for the supplemental draft, so there was

381
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: only twenty seven, and his agents were arguing, no, he's

382
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: got to make first round money. He was the twenty

383
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: eighth right now they're going sorry, it says twenty seven

384
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: here he's the first and he had all the speed

385
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: in the world, but he just couldn't master playing wide receiver.

386
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: And see that's the difference. I remember Jake Gaither talking

387
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: about Bob Hayes. You know, he said, look, guys, just

388
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: because he's fast, that doesn't mean he's a track guy.

389
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: He is a football player. Yeah, that runs. And the

390
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: difference is the muscles in the legs. When you look

391
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: at track guys, they always went straight ahead. Everything's just

392
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: straight ahead. But we're talking about football player. You're talking

393
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: later movement and talking about boast, quick boasting, going straight.

394
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: Here's a quick, funny story, sorry for you, and we'll

395
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: get it. Go to break Um Washington, the track star.

396
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: He played for the Oakland A's. I can't think of

397
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: his first name, and he basically was They basically brought

398
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: him in to be a pinch runner. And I remember

399
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: one time he got to first base. He was playing

400
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: the White Sox and Dick Allen was the first baseman

401
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: and he was a big horse racing fan. And so

402
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: Washington gets to first base. They throw over to you know,

403
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: keep him close. He takes the ball and he rubs

404
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: it down the back of his calf. And somebody asked

405
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: them afterward, what are you doing? He goes, well, you know,

406
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: when when I check out horses that are racing, I

407
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: check out their legs. I was going to see how

408
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: strong that calf muscle was. Yeah, and he just he

409
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: couldn't master hitting. He just couldn't do it. So but

410
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: they kept him as it was like the DH runner,

411
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, designated dr designated runner. When when we when

412
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: we come back, I want to you know, pick your

413
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: brain on who like the greatest athletes, all right, and

414
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: and the other thing. We're gonna come back because we

415
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: seek the offensive linemen out there, their strength and condition.

416
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: And it made me think about this offense coming up

417
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: this year for the Dallas Cowboys. As we'll continue here

469
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: excited to welcome back Bill Jays. William I said, Yeah,

470
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: did you hear me say I have some struggles? I said,

471
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: Bill must have been burning some rubber with his tires

472
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: and at worem up, I did hear you say that? Actually,

473
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: there's you know, as a result of the power outage

474
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: in North Texas back in February, there are a lot

475
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: of houses that are basic having to be reconstructured because

476
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: of damage. And one of them is my next door

477
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: neighbor's house. Now it's not my house, but the next

478
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: door neighbors. Last week, my wife had a nail and

479
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: her tire and today I found a nail. So I'm

480
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna blame it on the construction next door. But I'm

481
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: on my way out there, and I actually left the

482
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: house early. Okay, I'm gonna get there early. I'm gonna

483
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: show up forty five minutes in advance. Okay, Mickey's gonna

484
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: be so proud of me, and then all of a sudden,

485
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm driving down the road about fifteen minutes from my

486
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: house and alarms go off in my truck. I got

487
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: something wrong with the tire I stopped off at. Fortunately

488
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: I was like two blocks away from a discount tire

489
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: and so I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it,

490
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: but they could. There was a nail in my tire.

491
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: And so now I had returned to the house and

492
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: I actually listened to the first segment of the show,

493
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: and uh, I quickly got on because I was afraid

494
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: I was going to lose my job because you were

495
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: doing so well for a segment. So was this? So

496
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: the house being fixed? Is that the house of the

497
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: neighbor who fell in the pool? No, that's the other

498
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: that I have to visit your neighborhood, one of these danks.

499
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: Just ride around and see what. We'll let the guard

500
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: gate know that you're coming. No, don't let him know.

501
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: He might hurt himself. So since we let see if

502
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: we can let you on, and Bill, I'll let you.

503
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: I'll let you take over here. I'll just set us

504
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: up with this. Since we mentioned the schedule, I thought

505
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: maybe we'd take a look at at least we know

506
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys opponents and we'll find out tomorrow. Uh, the

507
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: order of play, obviously they have. I did this about

508
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: a month or so ago. Uh, they've got fourteen opponents,

509
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, in just counting the NFC East once the opponents,

510
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: plus the seventeenth game this year with New England. So

511
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: it's three opponents from the NFC East, four from the

512
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: NFC South, four from the AFC West, and then the

513
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: third place finishers in the AFC North and I mean

514
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: the NFC North and the NFC West. So I went

515
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: back and looked, and I was looking at all the teams.

516
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: They have to play home games against the three NFC

517
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: East teams, plus Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Carolina, Denver and the Raiders,

518
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: and then the away games against Kansas City, the Chargers, Minnesota,

519
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: New England, New Orleans, and Tampa Bay. I circled the

520
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers as maybe that's the Cowboys opener to

521
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: open up Sofi Stadium for a football game. What do

522
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: you think or if you have a better guess on

523
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: who you think the Cowboys would open up You mean,

524
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: you mean with you're assuming there will be fans in

525
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: the stands, so open up Sofi Stadium with fans in

526
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: the stands, yes, as opposed to last yees? Right, Um,

527
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: you know that could be one. And you know I

528
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: penciled in the Rams as the what would be the

529
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys second preseason game at Sofi Stadium this year, because

530
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: of course they're going to play in the Hall of

531
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: Fame game on Thursday, August fifth, I think is the

532
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: date on it. I believe pas Ohio, and I thought

533
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: with camp in Oxnard would be it would be. And

534
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: also with the Cowboys playing and being an NFC team

535
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: only getting the eight home dates this year and nine

536
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: away games, I would think they're going to give them

537
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: two home preseason games in just one road preseason game

538
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: with the otherwise the three game preseason schedule, Cowboys play

539
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: four because they in the Hall of Fame. So if

540
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: you're breaking camp in Oxnard, you play the Rams at

541
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium in the what would be their second preseason

542
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: game didn't come home for the last two m assuming

543
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: it makes Yeah, Well, if Jerry has his way, we're

544
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: going to Oxnard, right, I mean the way it stands

545
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: right now, Jerry wants to be in Oxnard, and they're

546
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: making out that preseason schedule as well as the regular

547
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: season schedule now. So but anyway, yeah, I think it's

548
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: a good thought. You know. The other thought that it's

549
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: out there is, how about the Cowboys open at the

550
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs Tampa Bay. Yeah, that'll be interesting. Yeah,

551
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: I would have to look at what Tampa Bay's schedule

552
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: is to see who they want them opening with. They

553
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: get the tough schedule rights, you get the toughest, well,

554
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: the two teams in the corresponding division, so they would no,

555
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: not really, because they get Washington, okay, because they were

556
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: first placed in the NFC East rights you put that aside,

557
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: and then and then they would get the I don't

558
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: know what their corresponding division is what the other one,

559
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: uh they have to play. So yeah, that'll be interesting

560
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: to see if they want to replay of the NFC

561
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: title game, um or whoever they're playing in the AFC.

562
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: But obviously they'll they'll host an opener on with the

563
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers drama. But that sounds pretty good. And actually,

564
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: actually Tampa Bay fin is second in their division, so

565
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: they've got a second place schedule because the yeah, because

566
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: the Saints won that division, not the postseason, so they

567
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: get So they get the Giants. If you say so,

568
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember who what the final standings are? You

569
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: got it figured out, Mickey, I do not. It's been

570
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: so long ago, I know. No, No, Tampa Bay's playing

571
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Um. The Cowboys are playing the NFC South right,

572
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: that's right, And so they're playing Washington and the Giants

573
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: and the Eagles too. Yeah, Tampa Bay's playing all the

574
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: NFC's teams. So Chris has their thanks, Chris, Chris has THEIRS.

575
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: So Tampa Bay at home, they've they've got Buffalo, the Bears,

576
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: Miami and the Giants. In a way, they've got I

577
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: mean the non division games, they've got the Rams. Oh,

578
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: the Rams Tampa Bay verse is the Rams um New England?

579
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: Oh in Indianapolis. Okay, well, okay, hold on there, Micky.

580
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: For the for the audience in general, do they go

581
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has the Rams or do they say WHOA,

582
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has the Cowboys. Well, that'll be interesting to see. Yeah,

583
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: you're right. Or maybe they get the Bills. Buffalo Tampa

584
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: Bay would be yeah, yeah, the Bills in Tampa Bay

585
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: would be closer to I mean, if you're looking at

586
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: teams that are projected to do something this year or

587
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: a possible future Super Bowl matchup, right as if they're

588
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: gonna make it, Tampa Bay is gonna make it back there,

589
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: which they're not. On the record in May eleven, Guy

590
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is not going to the super Bowl again

591
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: this year. Down he's not here, That's what it is.

592
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: He's somewhere else. I think that's affecting his decision in

593
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: his boldness. So how about this the thing? The thing

594
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: I figured out with when I was looking at who

595
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had to play, I figured out of their

596
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: last of their fourteen opponents, the last time they've met

597
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: each of those opponents, they have a five and nine record.

598
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: Not surprised, so they haven't these they haven't fared very well. Uh,

599
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: they beat Atlanta so the last time they played. Obviously

600
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 1: last year they beat Uh, they beat Philadelphia the last

601
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: time they played, and then the other teams. The last

602
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: time they played in one a game was the Raiders.

603
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, Kansas City and Tampa Bay. As

604
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they've beaten Tampa Bay seven of

605
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: the eight last meetings. They've dominated them. Unfortunately the other

606
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: way around with New England. Um, I think they've They've

607
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: lost the last six games they've played to the Patriots.

608
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: It's like playing against Jordan, though, you know what I mean,

609
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: your whole career is going to be effected if you

610
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: were in the Jordan era. Yeah, most likely you're gonna

611
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna run up against some problems. How about this.

612
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: They've lost five of the last six to Arizona, the

613
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: last two to Minnesota. They lost the last meeting with

614
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: the Saints, and their three and ten against the Saints

615
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety eight. Lost the last two to Carolina,

616
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: last six to Denver, last three to the Chargers, in

617
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: the last six to New England. What did they win?

618
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: Oh so indivision? We only win individual games. That's it.

619
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: So nicky. Even before the schedule comes out, you're ready

620
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: to predict a Cowboys looking at the history a good thing.

621
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: History doesn't decide. Here's the way I look at it.

622
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: Every year when the when we already know now that

623
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: the teams have been put together, trades have been made

624
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: for the most part, whatever, we kind of know who

625
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are going to be for all the teams

626
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: that Cowboys play. So you look in the division and

627
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: You've got Daniel Jones with the Giants, you got Ryan

628
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick with Washington, and you've got Jalen Hurts with Philadelphia. Okay,

629
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: that's a manageable schedule right there. For the Cowboys. Okay,

630
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: all right, Let's look at the NFCS, NFC South. Whoever

631
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: New Orleans is going, whoever is going to win that

632
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: battle in New Orleans, Taysom Hill or Jamis Winston as

633
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: your quarterback in New Orleans, all right, Tampa, you got

634
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady Carolina. You've got Sam Darnold, who is unbeaten

635
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys in his career. And then you got

636
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan in Atlanta, all right. And then you look

637
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: at Arizona, Kyler Murray he won here last year, and

638
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins at Minnesota and at a road game at Minnesota,

639
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 1: I believe, as well. Then New England. It's whoever wins

640
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: that battle between Cam Newton, and depends on when it

641
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: is in the schedule as well. Cam Newton might be

642
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: the starter at the beginning of the year, Mac Jones

643
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: might be the starter towards the end of the year,

644
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: or it could be Jared Stidham. And then you go

645
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: to the AFC West, and you've got Herbert with the Chargers,

646
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: Far with the Raiders, Drew Bridge of course with Kansas City,

647
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: and then you got Aaron Rodgers with Denver. So there

648
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: you have it. Oh Aaron Chers, Yeah, I got that.

649
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: They say he's not going anywhere. Bill, I say this.

650
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: I say this. Forget the freaking quarterbacks. You're starting to

651
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: make me mad. A give you know you always bring

652
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: up these quarterbacks in that relationship with how that's just

653
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: gonna depict every success that these teams have. You better

654
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: start looking at that defense in Tampa. See how well

655
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna play this year. Let's see if they can.

656
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: Can't this team all the way just like they did

657
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 1: last time, from the NFC Championship Game into the Super

658
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: Bowl by just controlling that entire narrative the entire season.

659
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: How will Aaron Rodgers play if he plays with Green Bay,

660
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: will that defense be able to show up and support him?

661
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: He's upset about so many things he needs to be

662
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: upset with his defense not being able to hold it down.

663
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: You know that, to me, that really has so much

664
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: to do with the success. And Tampa Bay showed that

665
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: last year. As much as I was getting on y'all's

666
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 1: case during the season about talking about Brady and Rodgers

667
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: and all these guys. Todd Bowls was the hero of

668
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay team. His coaching staff and his defensive personnel.

669
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: They made the difference in the entire NFL. And they

670
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: you can see it. They were improving week by week,

671
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: game by game, and by the time the playoffs started,

672
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: they were a well oil defensive team. I just hope

673
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,479
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can be just in that same neighborhood because

674
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: we are going to need, as we know, our defense

675
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 1: this entire upcoming season. And it's sure helped Tampa Bay

676
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: that that Kansas City was without Eric Fisher, their starting tackle. Schwartz,

677
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: who was a starting guard, moved to tackle. And I

678
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: see where the Colts just signed Eric Fisher for one

679
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: year nine point four million hunt for a guy coming

680
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: off of a ruptured achilles in mid to late January

681
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: before the Super Bow. It's a great one year contracted. Yeah. Man,

682
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: usually you're gonna come in you know, well, you just

683
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: prove it to us first and then we'll go from there. Well,

684
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: they they seem to like his one year potential. I'm

685
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: coming off a darn achilles and I don't think I

686
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: got quite that much. Talk to Jerry Man, make him

687
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: understand where you're at exactly. Bill, Should we hit the

688
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 1: okay break here? Do you want You got another topic

689
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: you want to hit before? Yeah, we need to go

690
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: to a break. But I've got something on Twitter here

691
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about. Because I didn't hear

692
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: this in the first segment. Clarence Yee is asking on

693
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: Twitter and you can tweet at me at CBS eleven,

694
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: Bill Jones, if you got any questions for Everson or Mickey?

695
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: All right? Did you mention Claude Elle Washington in the

696
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: first segment? I was trying to think of his first name.

697
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: I mentioned Washington and I couldn't remember Claudell. Yes I did.

698
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, okay, Well, he says, you're talking about

699
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: Claude Elle Washington. I remember him from his Braves days

700
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: when our cable provider in Saskatchewan finally picked up the

701
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: GBS of the eighties wide receivers speed Tyreek Hills High

702
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: School two hundred meter time twenty point one four got

703
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: him sixth at the Rio Olympic Finals. Claude Elle, Why

704
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't you talking about Claude Elle Washington. What were you

705
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: talking about? Everson brought up we were talking about football

706
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: speed versus track speed, and we brought oh oh, and

707
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: we brought up deep. It wasn't Claude Ell. No, it

708
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: wasn't claude Elle Washington. That was HERB Washington, Herb Washington,

709
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: who was pinch runner for Yeah, yeah, Charlie Finley with

710
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: the A's in the seventies. BIRB Washington was an Olympic

711
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: sprinter and they signed him just to try to steal bases.

712
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: But Claude Elle was a great player for Oaklint. In fact,

713
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: Claude remember ever since you remember claude Elle Washington. I don't.

714
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: I don't really build, and I watched a lot of baseball,

715
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: but the A's had a lot of great players. Go ahead, yeah,

716
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: and he had a short time with the Rangers. Claude

717
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: Ell had the broadest shoulders I think I've ever seen

718
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: on a baseball. Yeah, it was her. It was Herb Washington,

719
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, it was the pinch runner. So anyway,

720
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: all right, and digress, but he was the pinch runner.

721
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: We were talking about the difference in speed, and Everson said, yeah,

722
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 1: I always looked at sprint's legs compared to football legs

723
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: and the speed. And I said, I told the story

724
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: of him being on first base against the White Sox

725
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: when he played with the A's and they threw over

726
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: and and Dick Allen took the ball and rubbed it

727
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: down his calf to see what his calf muscle was

728
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: like for a guy that fast. It was pretty funny.

729
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: Were they were the White Sox playing in their shorts

730
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: that game? I don't believe they were way back in

731
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: the day, but yeah, it would have been in the

732
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: It would have been that the seventies. Yeah, yeah, they were.

733
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: They were played some games with shorts on. Yep, we continue,

00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: schedule release, right, Yes, Everson, You know I always uh,

776
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: your voice is truly missed on some of these readings

777
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: after especially after Mickey reads them. You know, it's just

778
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 1: you know, the different, the difference is just just vast, right.

779
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: So I started thinking about guys with silky voices like yours.

780
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: Always think about somebody like a Mike Doocey or somebody

781
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: like that, right, And Mikey can sing. Mike has a

782
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: great singing voice. He always acts like he doesn't want

783
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: to sing, but then he just all you gotta do

784
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: is just problem a little bit. Next thing, you know,

785
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: he's Frank Sinatia somebody. And so I was wondering, with

786
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: your silky voic voice, do you have a great singing voice?

787
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that for TV announcers to have a

788
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: great singing voice? Is that is that how it goes?

789
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: I you know, I like to think I have a

790
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: great singing voice, and my wife would beg the Jeffer. Yeah,

791
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: I know. Dale Hanson doesn't have a great singing voice.

792
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: He just doesn't. He just not that dude. But guys

793
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: like yourself, Doocey, you know, it seems like you guys.

794
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: You know, I know Doucy can can blow. Ducy can blow?

795
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: Can you blow? I know? Yeah, yeah, I know. I've

796
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: heard him, you know at ticket events. He's he has

797
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: sung publicly, and so he's got a lot of talent singing.

798
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: Maybe I will debut my singing voice one of these

799
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: weeks on mixture. I'll defer to both of you guys. Yeah,

800
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: I know I ain't singing, No, I am not. I

801
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: can't even dance, Bill, So I'm sure you could dance

802
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: better than me. So No, I just figured with the territory.

803
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: You know, the shower is scared of v sing. Just

804
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: what else? So Bill, Yeah, we got ten minutes. Yeah,

805
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna do this. We we've

806
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: talked about the defense, how it needs to improve, and

807
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: all the defensive guys they've brought in so the other day.

808
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: Uh and and it's kind of happening right now. Uh

809
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: with the strength and conditioning going on. I look out

810
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: on the field and I see Dak running normally right,

811
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: really being able to run. I see Lale Collins running. Uh.

812
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: Last week with his shirt off, it was the greatest

813
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: three hundred and ten pounds you've ever seen. With Tyrn

814
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: Smith running filing his surgery along with Lale surgery. Zack

815
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: Martin was out there. Uh and and Tyler Badish was

816
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: out there. So that's four fifths of the Cowboys offensive

817
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: line that at some point last year was missing. The

818
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: five starters. You know, those four guys out of the

819
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: five only started sixteen of the sixty four games, and

820
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: Martin started ten of those, Yet the Cowboys ended up

821
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: gaining five thousand, nine hundred and forty nine yards three

822
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: seventy one a game. They finished fourteenth in the NFL.

823
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: In offense, I figured out that was the seventh most

824
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: total yards in the last thirty seven seasons of Cowboys football,

825
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:46,439
Speaker 1: seven seventh. With that many guys missing on the offensive line,

826
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: dedn't throw in Dak only starting five games, jarwins, starting

827
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: won games. All six of those guys were back on

828
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 1: the field, working and running well. So I'm thinking, if

829
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: you just look at what they have coming back, adding

830
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: to the guys that did what they did last year,

831
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: managing to gain that many yards, this offense could breed

832
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: could be prolific this year. Considering they'd had to start

833
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks last year and they still scored thirty points

834
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: eight times last season, winning six games. So it just

835
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: dawned on me looking at that, with those guys coming

836
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: back and what this offense did last year, basically without

837
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: the majority of them, they could be pretty darn good

838
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: this year, health permitting. When when you look at when

839
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: you look at last year, spags a lot of those

840
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: years at the first four games, that was out of

841
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: necessity because we were always coming from behind, but they

842
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 1: were coming, but they were coming. No, they were able

843
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: to come, no doubt about that. I am hoping we

844
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: don't have the need to score those mini points. Maybe yeah,

845
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to score those mini points

846
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: because every time we did that, it brought us out

847
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: of our game plan. And when when when Dad was hurt,

848
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, his stats took us. I think by week

849
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 1: eight they we were still like the top five passing

850
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: they were in the league, simply because of what he

851
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: did in those first four games. And I think they

852
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: finished pretty high in in passing u as. I will

853
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: look it up here real quickly, and it really it

854
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: really showed us up, you know when it came finished

855
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: eighth overall throwing with four quarterbacks starting, two of those

856
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: starting their first NFL games. And and so when I

857
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: the other thing, I looked at those six starters that

858
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned only started twenty two of a possible ninety

859
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: six games, and they still put up that many yards. So,

860
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what, Tyrn Smith looked really good

861
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: out there. I'm telling you it was the best three

862
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: hundred and ten pounds you've ever seen. I hope your

863
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: rights bags and so there they were out there today

864
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: working and and and the other thing we got to

865
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: remember is, you know Connor Williams, I guess is considered

866
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: the weak link, but he was coming off ACL surgery,

867
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: right and he started all sixteen games. Interesting, so because

868
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: I know I was one of those guys that was

869
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,240
Speaker 1: definitely on this case. So when you look at the offense,

870
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: the only two things I think that need to be

871
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: figured out is who's the backup quarterback and who's the

872
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: backup swing tackle. Now they signed the veteran Tyn Secki.

873
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,240
Speaker 1: He's thirty five going on thirty six, He's been playing

874
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: for a long time and not all in the NFL.

875
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: Uh And so they got to figure that one out.

876
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: They did draft Josh Ball, who might be able to

877
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: be good enough to challenge him for that backup job.

878
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: And then the guys that got experienced last year, Brandon Knight,

879
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele. We'll see where that goes. But really offensively

880
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: is probably has no doubt our most important offense period,

881
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: absolutely period. And talking to Mike McCarthy after one of

882
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: the draft day press conference, he was just ecstatic with

883
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,959
Speaker 1: the progress that Lele Collins and Tyrn Smith have made

884
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:35,720
Speaker 1: since their surgeries. Zack Martin's fine, Tyler Beadish is fine.

885
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: So that could make a huge difference on what this

886
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: offense is able to do and maybe be able to

887
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: run the ball a little bit more consistently instead of

888
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:51,240
Speaker 1: having back up undrafted free agents starting at the tackle position.

889
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I'm a little bit nervous about,

890
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, Dag's leg. I really am. I'm not gonna

891
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: lie about that. I was hoping that we don't depend

892
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: on him as much. Yes, we paid him a whole

893
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: lot more money than he made last year, and we

894
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: depended on him a whole lot in previous seasons. But

895
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: I was hoping that this running game can really I hope.

896
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: I was hoping he could be a compliment to our

897
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: running game. And I know they're saying a lot for

898
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: somebody just got the just got the bank rolled out,

899
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: But I would think that we'd be smart not to

900
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: put too much pressure on him right the way. Well,

901
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: talking about that, and you guys, if you think about it,

902
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: the surgery he had the injury was the same surgery

903
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: that Hearns had at the end of that season. I

904
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: think it was the twenty eighteen season, and he came

905
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen, went through training camp. They ended

906
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: up releasing him, but then he ended up playing these

907
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: last two years, I believe, for the Dolphins and played well.

908
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: So you know they the medical people think Dad will

909
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: be just fine. But again, yeah, you don't want to

910
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: have to rely on him him as much as they

911
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: did last year in those first four and what three

912
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: quarters games. Zeke Elliott has to be that leader that

913
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: we've always wanted him to be coming in amazing and

914
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: he looks good out there. He looks like he's lost weight.

915
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't feel so desperate to gain that extra

916
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: yard two and get careless with the football. That's what

917
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, right, And the other thing we need

918
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: to remember, now that we've seen this for almost a year,

919
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: he was coming off COVID in the summer too. Yeah,

920
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: so who knows what that might have done to his

921
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: atlantical effects? Right? Yeah, all right, Bill, I think I

922
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: took up the whole Well, I got a question for you,

923
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: Mickey about the offensive line. Yes, who's the backup center?

924
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: What happens if Tyler Biadis goes down with an injury?

925
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: Who's your Who's Who's lining up is the backup center

926
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: even as they start offseason, no tas and stuff, assume

927
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: they have. My guess is they're going to ask Connor

928
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: McGovern to put his hand on the ball. Uh. And

929
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: then I believe I'm trying to remember I saw this.

930
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: I think ty n Secki has played every position on

931
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line. I don't know that you want him

932
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: to play. He doesn't look like he's built to play center. Uh.

933
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: He's like six eight, I know, yeah, yeah, it would

934
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: be the first six eighth center in NFL history. But

935
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: will come up, but we'll come up to Dak's chest.

936
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: That wouldn't have to lean over to get the ball.

937
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 1: He's just you know, be right there. And you know

938
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: what they can you know, Joe Looney still out there

939
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: if they need to go that route. Yeah, yeah, that's

940
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: the thing. And that's I was looking at the well

941
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: and I was looking at even their undrafted guys, and

942
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm not as familiar. I need to research them. But

943
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: they don't have a center, you know, someone that I'm

944
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: aware of who has a much experience snapping the ball.

945
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 1: Even among their backups. They've they've they've focused so much

946
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: on trying to get that swing tackle. Yeah, and it's

947
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: still early. I mean it's only May eleventh right now,

948
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: and so they've got time. And like you said, they

949
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: got Looney out there, as you know, and then Looney

950
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: factors in as far as a salary cap. Even now

951
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: they're up against it, and so they've got to they

952
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: may have to sort some things out. But um, I

953
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that because that's that's one thing that

954
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: any coach is always looking at. What if this player

955
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: goes down with an injury, what if that one goes down?

956
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: And and the other thing on Connor Williams is even

957
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: coming into the league, there was some speculation among scouts

958
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: that eventually his best position might be center in this league.

959
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: And so I wouldn't be surprised even at this offseason

960
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: if they give him some some some reps at center

961
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: as well, just to see what they have there. But

962
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: you know what that was said, That was said last

963
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: offseason and it didn't happen. He volunteered and it didn't happen.

964
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: So remember Connor McGovern started at center, uh in I

965
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: believe it was twenty seventeen Penn State, am I right?

966
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Was he at Penn State? Connor McGovern, right, he started

967
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: one season center, so I'm thinking he he if he

968
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: doesn't win the starting guard job, or if even if

969
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: it's up for grabs, uh, then he's your Joe Looney

970
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: can swing between backup guard on game day and backup center.

971
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: I would imagine that's what they're looking at right now.

972
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: See how that goes, and then you could always if

973
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: you don't like what it looks like, you tell Joe Looney, well,

974
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: you still don't have a job for you know, veteran

975
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: uh exception. Uh, you know, we'll we'll get you one

976
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: more year if you still want to play, and you know,

977
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: he'll play with and we'd rather play is around him

978
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: because last year it was all backups. Nothing was ever

979
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, we never had continuity in any position last year.

980
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: So I'm sure he might play better with a little

981
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: continuity on both sides of Megawn. It's almost like we

982
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: forget Lele Collins played no games and Tyrann Smith played

983
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: two games. That's huge, and we're telling Luney to come

984
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: in and save us, and the guy that you brought

985
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: in to be the backup ended up playing like five games.

986
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, that the offensive line just kind of dominated

987
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: what happened up front. You know, then you're starting two

988
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in their first NFL games with that offensive line

989
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: because convoluted, everything was convoluted. It was great. That's good.

990
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: I think he played better with more experience around him. Yeah.

991
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: And the other thing that I would do with her,

992
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: with the number of tackles that they have, who who

993
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: don't look like on paper that they could play in

994
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: side at guard, meaning Josh Ball who's a six seven

995
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: guy terring steel, Brandon Knight would be a guy that

996
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: I would think they'll have give reps inside at guard

997
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: as well, which would I think it would behoove him

998
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: to do that too, to add the experiensition flexibility to

999
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: make the roster too. Didn't they move him in there?

1000
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Knight, Yeah, I think he's Yeah, he's been primarily

1001
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: a tackle even in his career at Indiana, but you

1002
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: look at his body type and he would be one

1003
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: that would be more more effective than some of the

1004
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: others probably moving inside. So that's another thing to look

1005
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: out for as we go along. And hopefully we'll have

1006
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: some access here in the next few weeks. Hopefully they'll

1007
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: have OTA's out there where we can come watch and

1008
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: take a look at him. Well, we shouldn't be able

1009
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: to look at we should be able to look at

1010
01:03:52,040 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: the rookies this weekend with the rookie rookie Minicamp, and

1011
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 1: that's happened. That's happened at other places around the league too,

1012
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: So I know the Jets. There was a video of

1013
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: the of the Jets work out when they got their

1014
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: rookies together the weekend after the draft. All right, that

1015
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: does it for this edition of mix Shots. So we'll have, Mickey,

1016
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: we will have plenty to talk about if we have

1017
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity to look at these rookies over the weekend

1018
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: next week, don't you think be some great individual drills

1019
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: will get to see. Yes, absolutely, Okay, I'll be able

1020
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: to see there you go Everson making a comeback, and

1021
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: we'll see how he fares with those rookies as well

1022
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: over the weekend. All right, that does it for mix Shots,

1023
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: and we will see you again next Tuesday at eleven
