WEBVTT - Mick Shots: On the Corner 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:07.280 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:15.320 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Nick 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.520 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:24.799 official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:53.400 and Nicky Spagnola. Producer Sapreb said, We're going to open 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:57.000 with some Christmas music today? Is that Christmas music? I 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:00.800 think that's what I've not heard because where's jingle bells 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.200 or something? Rudolf or something that sounded like bells? There 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.640 are bells, yeah, but I don't that's not the Christmas 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.960 music I was listening to as I was making my 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.840 way in today. If that indeed that isle, Yeah, if 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.160 you got jingle bells, I would prefer be What was that? 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:33.520 Was that? The Manheim Express? Right, that's not jingle bells? Hey, 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:39.600 you gotta give at the times there the new version? Wow? 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.000 What's going on? What we're trying to play? Jingle trying 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.640 to play some Christmas music and producer Supreme is failing miserably. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:54.280 That's first song? Nowther like take Panther music. Well, we 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.080 are live inside the sw WBC podcast studio, and I 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.600 was ready to get into the Christmas spirit. And maybe 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:06.320 maybe Everson Walls, who's voting joining us on location somewhere, 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.800 can get us in the Christmas spirit with his own 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:13.280 version of jingle bells. Maybe. Okay, Bill, did you get 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:18.359 my parking space I left for you? I actually barely no, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.560 I did not get it. In fact, if I would 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.320 have known you weren't going to be in studio today, 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.040 I would have gotten to your spot. But I didn't 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.760 know that. So how you doing, Everson? I'm doing fin 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.160 me man doing sign Just glad I could join you 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.919 guys today. He got a lot of stuff to talk about. 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.760 I know you do. Bill. We missed you yesterday. Well 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:42.320 I missed you too, had a conflict and Mickey, we 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.120 got a football team arriving on a football field just 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.920 about thirty yards for us, and it will be maybe 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.800 the only real football practice of the week. This is 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.239 Thursday here Thursday, and that's when they would put pads on. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:04.239 And both teams had walked through practices yesterday, so anything 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:11.000 you saw on an injury port was basically a estimation 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.760 of what they would have done if it was a 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:18.040 real practice. So we'll see how things to go, especially 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:24.040 in Philadelphia. In fact, the projected starting quarterback for the 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:29.639 Eagles on Saturday was not in Philadelphia yesterday. It's in Starkfield, Mississippi, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.320 for Mike Leach's funeral. Menshow yeah, of course he played 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:38.840 for Leech at Washington. May have spoken, I didn't. I 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.280 didn't didn't see the funeral. Now, what do you mean 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:46.560 the projected starter projected by some the Eagles? You know, 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.560 little gaymanship going on. I think sirianni oh, I don't know. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:56.120 He recovers fast, and you know, there's a chance that 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.760 he couldn't play. And if I'm them, I'm saying the 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.560 same thing. All right, Hey, I think he was very 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:06.240 choosing in his words. Yes, yes, he said I can throw. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.040 That's what he said. Yeah, basically I can throw. Yeah, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.920 that's what he said. You know, I'm sure he could throw. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.040 But how well can you throw? That's the difference. And 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.800 you know, and if if you're looking at this logically, 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.000 you've got the team that's leading the NFC East, they're 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.680 leading the NFL in record, the NFC and all they 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.279 need to do is win one game in the last 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.760 three and they clinched both things, right, Uh so, uh, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:40.440 why would you push the envelope on your h MVP 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:46.240 supposedly quarterback and send him out there and play when 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.480 he's got a shoulder, a right shoulder. Uh, that probably 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.080 will limit him if he does anything today in practice. 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.839 I ain't buying it. You're buying I can't. I can't 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.800 see them. There's no upside to me here for them 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.400 to let him play, right, Guys, I mean you want 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.480 to go into the playoffs with with Minshew as your 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:14.559 starting quarterback. But also, uh, you know, I think even 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.600 with the with Menshe playing, I still think now there's 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.080 an outside chance, of course, if Jalen doesn't play, Let's 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.520 say they want to wrest him, and let's say that 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:28.080 defense has issues within Minshew at quarterback, they could you know, 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.520 drop a game or two, and then it can make 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.040 things a little interesting, right if we especially of course, 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.880 like we talked about yesterday's stay as long as we 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.320 keep winning, as long as we keep taking care of 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:43.080 business ourselves. So that could be something that can happen. 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.560 But you know, I don't know if you want to 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.240 chance your quarterback getting hurt again. You ran in seventeen 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.000 times against the Bears, right, do you want to bring 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.120 him in here to a team that's pretty desperate right 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.359 now to stay, you know, at a certain level in 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.200 the playoff hunt. I mean, we're in the playoffs, but 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.839 we could probably improve ourselves depending on how we finish 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.920 out the Sea. Yeah, And I just don't think they're 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.680 going to take that chance. And if they do play them, 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:15.400 they're not gonna call seventeen running plays. Right. It might 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.160 be a different story in Philadelphia if the Cowboys had 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.000 beaten Jacksonville on Sunday, no doubt, Yeah, no doubt. Right, 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.760 They've got some cushion now where they can afford to 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.680 rest him a week and or rest him. They could 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.000 afford to rest him three weeks, depending on the severity 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:37.200 of the injury. Uh yeah, yeah, if they just get 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.760 that one win, it could be at New Orleans the 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.200 next week or the Giants in the last week. And 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.960 think about New Orleans play they play in Philly, Right, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.320 I think it may be. Yeah, I think you're right. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:53.360 And think about this. You know how frustrated defensive guys 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.440 get when they're chasing a quarterback they can't catch, because 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.760 if they get them, they're gonna give them a little 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:04.240 bit extra, right, Right, You take out your frustrations and 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.719 you hit them and you hit them hard and when 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.160 he's running the football, he's got no more protection. Right, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:16.960 you ain't sliding if you did so. I mean, I'll 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.480 guarantee you the Cowboy players will be looking at that. 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.360 And you know, it's one of the reasons why in 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.640 the in uh, the NHL, it's upper body and lower 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.840 body injury. That's all you get because they don't want 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.640 anybody to know what's hurting. And if they know the 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.080 quarterbacks got a bad shoulder and he actually they actually 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.520 call a quarterback draw. I'll guarantee you they're piling on 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.040 pretty heavily. And by the way, the Eagles do close 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:45.680 at home against New Orleans and the Giants two home games. Yeah, 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.480 so this is their Yeah, how did the Cowboys get 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.800 road games like that? Well? The Eagle of this is more. Well, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.280 the Eagles, this is their third straight road road Yeah. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.600 In fact, I think every team in the league may 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.360 have a stretch of three straight road games like that 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.320 at some point or the Cowboys just had a stretch 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.720 of three straight home games prior to going to Jacksonville, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.239 and so they with this seventeen game schedule, you're getting 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.000 that more often now you get But I mean the 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.440 Cowboys are actually they've got three out of four. But yeah, 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.000 if the Cowboys don't win this division, which is looks 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.160 like it's going that way right now, the Cowboys are 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.360 going to be playing six of the next six of 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.160 seven on the road. Mickey. Actually, if you count the 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.120 super Bowl, that would be seven seven out of eight 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:37.640 the road, right, Everson, I thought that bill, And that's good. 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.160 And if they win that first playoff game, and it's 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:46.680 probably the fourth seeded division winner, right Tampa Bay the 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.920 way it looks right, you win that game, and if 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.760 all the other division Yeah, that's what I'm saying is 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.080 if if the playoffs whole, if the if the top 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.719 seeded teams win, the Cowboys would be potentially playing on 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.640 the No. No, But what I was gonna say is, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.319 you're gonna have to play Philadelphia again? Yeah, you would. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.000 You would play the top seed. If you're the lone 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.920 wild card team left, You're going to Philadelphia. So um, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.720 that always brings in, well, you got to sell out 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:21.000 to win, right Cowboys. Philadelphia doesn't have to show everything 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.679 thinking well we might have to play that team again, 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.840 So it'd be interesting to see how they would go 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.199 against it. But you realize. Uh. Mike McCarthy pointed it out. 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.760 I think after we walked off that you know, they 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.520 they they've prepared for Jalen Hurts, right, so they know 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.440 what they've got there. But Minshew played the last game 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.400 of last year against the Cowboys, so they had to 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:53.040 prepare for him. Yeah. Well it was fifty one twenty 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.280 six he was. I looked it up. He was nineteen 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.959 of thirty three for one hundred and eighty six yards, 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:05.000 two touchdowns, one interception, three sacks. UH, with a quarterback 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.560 rating of eighty one point one. But at least he 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:13.360 has started games. Uh. In the NFL, he's started twenty 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:17.319 two of the thirty games he's played. UM, and he 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:23.360 actually thrown UM thirty seven touchdowns and eleven interceptions, so UM, 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:28.280 not terrible. UM. But this year he's only attempted four passes, 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:33.000 so he hadn't played a lick. Uh. I have a question. 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.440 I have a question. You kind of you kind of 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.160 slid a little statement right in there. You said, if 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:43.520 you're gonna play a team two times, you know, almost 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.080 like that then you're saying that, But you said the 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.679 teams are not gonna show everything that they have. Is 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.479 that what you say, Well, I was saying, maybe Philadelphia 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.920 can do that. Are you saying that that teams are tanking? 0:10:55.120 --> 0:11:02.120 Is that? No? No, no, no, no right here. I 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:06.520 did not use the T word, I know, but believe 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.040 I was saying, if you have some things that you 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.680 want to do that you don't want other teams to 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:17.280 know those unscouted looks that Mike McCarthy talks about, you 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:22.160 might save that for the playoffs. Yeah, that sounds like reporter. Yeah, 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.640 I had was not any any part of my mind 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.240 when I said that, But if you want to bring 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:36.320 it up, that's fine. By the way, that game you 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.200 mentioned the Cowboys and the Eagles to close out the 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.520 regular season last year, which was, as you mentioned, a 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:47.400 fifty one to twenty six Cowboys win. Gardner Minshew his 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:52.480 weapons that he had in that game included Jalen Rager 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.040 at wide receiver who's now a Minnesota Viking punt returner 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.800 basically uh Quez Watkins didn't play in that game, and 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.720 their three third receiver now DeVante Smith, did play in 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.400 that game. They most notably, they did not have a 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.599 guy named a J. Brown on their team. Yeah, and 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.480 Miles Sanders didn't play in that game. So but they 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:18.320 well they had they already clinched a playoff spot? Were 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:22.040 they were? Am I WRONGU didn't they finished? Like no, 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.000 I was trying to remember. That would take too much 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.320 work to figure that out, right, Well, yeah, I mean 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.040 obviously they did make the playoffs yet because they and 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.160 they probably rested and said, okay, we got well they 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:38.000 finished nine in uh nine eight, nine and eight, so 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.240 they obviously they didn't need the win to make the playoffs, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.959 as Everson just said. So yeah, absolutely, that was the 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.040 last game of the season. They lost it big and 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.160 uh they lost to Tampa Bay in the first round 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.280 of the playoffs. And as for the Cowboys, they still 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.160 have illness going through that locker. I don't know why 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.880 I go in that locker room. By the way you 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:02.480 put your mask on, I should. I started sniffling today 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:03.920 and I was like, well, yeah, I was in that 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.760 damn locker room. You know, Michael Parsons not going to 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.120 be here today. They told him to stay home. He's 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.679 got an illness. And there's a couple other guys that, 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.480 uh that have illnesses in the family. So they're making 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:20.440 those guys mask up. Um. So yeah, it's just it's 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.800 they they just can't seem to get past all that. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.520 I think every team and around the country, right and 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.839 every family and yeah, yeah, country is going through this, right, 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:36.440 and uh, how you think these kids are doing? You 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.600 can go in there all you want, but don't go 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.160 in there and then come back into the studio room. Okay, okay, 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.640 that's right. Well we had we had a tour coming through, 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.520 so you can't see that. But and it's a bunch 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.960 of kids too, so so but if I've already had 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.000 the fluid, then I can't get it again, right right? Yeah, Oh, 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:59.880 I don't think it works a that's a guble brow 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:05.600 that takes me back to twenty twenty. That's exactly right. Yeah, um, 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.880 I think you couldn't get it for three months, I said. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.400 Even the NFL followed that, right, thought Marie Cooper didn't 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.400 he have it? And then he didn't have to get vaccinated, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.480 and then in his whether it was three whatever the 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.200 date was on it, and then late in the season, 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.440 I thought that was COVID. That's what. That's what? Ever? 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.600 Since referring to twenty yeah, okay, yeah, I was looking 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.240 at my notes. I'm sorry you got more notes on that. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.880 Oh I got a lot of stuff we got to 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.280 talk about today, including and I guess we're I'm trying 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.920 to time the break to where you can go out 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.640 on the two. Okay, I'm trying to time it to 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.920 where you'll get the most benefit from our break by 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.080 seeing what's on the field. Oh, that's right, Because they 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.760 were we're going, are we watching the second hand? The 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:54.520 second hand? Look like we have got I was going 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.560 to say, we need to pay attention to the court 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.960 cornerback position. Yes, what they're doing there? Because they said 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.640 it was open competition, And as Everson and I talked 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.280 about yesterday, it's like, well, how much open competition can 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.560 you have? Five guys? Right, you got an idea what 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.640 you want to do. Now you're gonna give guys snaps 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.120 what you're thinking you're gonna do. Well, I've got I'm 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.600 gonna go ahead and say that Trayvon Diggs will win 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:25.600 the competition. Yeah, okay, very good, and dron Bland will 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.640 come in second place. Let's be let's be clear. They 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:35.720 were open competition was only for the number two you 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.400 know what, and it might be for the number three spot. Two. 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.240 As we come back here and talk on Mick shots, 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:49.080 all right in a moment, Okay.

He's got no 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:01.800 background on that guy, and the Cowboys didn't either. That's 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:03.920 why he had such a good game. Now I'm kidding, 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:08.880 um no, he uh well, he obviously won the AFC 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.520 Defensive Player of the Week award. They awarded it for 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:19.840 the first time ever as soon as that game was over. Yeah, 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:24.960 and ray Sean. Let me find ray Sean here. I'm surprised. 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:29.480 You don't know if college background, high school football team. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.679 You know, he was a big free agent pickup from 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.880 the Chargers for them. Okay, okay started fourteen games last 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.479 year for the Jacksonville Jaguars, But people weren't paying attention 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:45.680 to Jacksonville. There was a different situation to whoever what 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.160 the head coach was. That's exactly right. Yeah, they appeared 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.520 to have cleaned that up, yes, in a major way, 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.840 and Doug Peterson was in The Jaguars were rewarded by 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:02.320 the Philadelphia Eagles. Right, Oh, that's right. You saw that. No, 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.280 what did I They said them, how many cheese steaks? 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:10.040 No day did not I did for their victory over 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.760 the year. Is that is that? Is that bulletin board material. 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:17.600 I'm gonna grind that in cheese. You know, that was 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.240 pretty cheeky right there, You know that? Right? Uh huh, 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.480 that's that's real. That's real cheeky. I mean, give me 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.560 a break. That's like that's like, that's apparently that's that's 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:30.960 bulletin board material forever some walls. Okay, let's get let's 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:37.080 send some Bray's shoulder uh to uh the bear, you know, 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:44.080 bray shoulder meat whatever. I mean, come on, we can 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:50.840 do this all day. Deep deep dish pizzas to Chicago. Micky, 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.080 What did you see all the practice field? I'm very 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.800 hard to tell. They were still in special team or 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:01.399 individual drills, so yeah, not very much. So what Okay, 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:05.920 let's sere your specula see what you think, because Everson 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.800 I talked about it yesterday and I thought they did 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:14.399 it a couple plays in the game on Sunday after 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:18.080 they decided that Kelvin Joseph they couldn't like put up 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:22.439 with that any longer when and it was very rare, 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.360 but I thought I saw out there when they went 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:30.399 maybe two tight ends they kept and two wide receivers, 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:35.080 they kept Bland as an outside cornerback. And I'm thinking, 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:40.240 and Everson and I had the discussion yesterday, can can 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:44.040 one guy like that play two spots in the same game? 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:47.959 Like if Philadelphia just goes too wide, could you have 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:51.400 Bland out there on corner and then move them into 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:59.320 the slot or I believe Mullen and uh Alexander have 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:04.760 played in the slot. I definitely Alexander as his size. Yeah. Yeah, 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:09.159 And so that's the determination of whales facts when you 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:11.879 think about the personnel, right, if you got to if 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.280 you have two tighty or two wide receivers, yeah, that's 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:17.600 a no brainer that you're gonna have brand outside right, Yeah, 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.359 I mean I would think so, right right, But and 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:23.680 then you this is your opportunity to have a safety, 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:25.520 you know, one of the bigger corners, even just one 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:28.920 of the bigger corners to cover inside on a tight end, 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:32.520 you understand. Yeah, And that's what curse problem. And that's 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:36.520 what curse curse would do. Whichever guy's the best, uh, 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:39.919 the best receiver of the bunch. But even if they 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.760 go three wide, would they think of just leaving? They 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:46.439 think Bland's better? And so I mean, I mean Bland 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:50.800 played sixty five snaps against Jacksonville. Yeah, yeah, and you 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:54.320 know dis played seventy, so he only miss fights snaps, right, 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:59.679 So so Joseph, Joseph had thirty seven and right whereas 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:02.679 right right head nineteen. So they were they combined for 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:04.840 fifty six snaps. So if you were, if you were, 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:10.119 if they were in three wide, which which option is 0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:13.720 easiest to help with double coverage? The guy in the 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:18.639 slot or the guy outside. The guy in the slot 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.359 need more help? Okay, But but you can do that. 0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:25.439 I'm saying you can do it, right. You can do 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:29.040 it with with what safety? Can you put a safety over? 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.280 You can? And help? With which help you can put 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:34.600 a safety on him? I wouldn't like to do it, yeah, 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:36.640 but with help you can't put the safety on him, 0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.879 especially somebody like Wilson. You know, he's a little bit smaller, 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.280 maybe a little niftier, right, I wouldn't want to put 0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:45.400 a curse on it on a slot. Yeah, no, no, 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:49.120 not curse. I was thinking of one of Yeah, depending 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.119 on who the corner was. Uh, you can use Hooker 0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:55.960 right well yeah wo hoo could could stay inside because 0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.520 he has the footwork for that. But if you're going 0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:02.040 to get a big man aside, a bigger uh guy, 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:04.280 you're gonna have to go with with some some type 0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:07.440 of help. Because they they did have a couple snaps 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.919 with Nashan Wright he moved into the slot, and I 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:15.600 can't remember who told me, but someone said that right 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:19.480 is capable of playing in the slot. Um. So it'd 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.080 be interesting to see how they how they mix it up. 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.600 And a lot of that is whoever's gonna the extra corner, 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:28.760 who's gonna be eligible, is gonna have to help on 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:33.760 special teams because although I guess Kelvin Joseph could go 0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:37.720 back to special teams assuming he's active right here, you know, 0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:40.160 we had talked about this guy in a long time. 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.399 This would be a real nice time for him to 0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:44.400 step up and show what he can do. I don't 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:47.040 know what he's been doing in practice. I hadn't heard 0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:51.280 anything about my boy Marquis Bell. Okay, I've been seeing 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.800 that number forty one appearing on the on the field, 0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:57.440 you know occasionally, you know, somewhere around the ball. Uh 0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:00.399 Is it just out of the realm of possibility because 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:02.960 he has the ability to get in to make the 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:07.160 play at all on regular down Bell and Bell got 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:12.200 six snaps on defense against Jacksonville and all the special 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:17.560 teams reps the previous one, two, three, four, five games 0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:21.320 he was inactive, active and against Chicago he had fifteen 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:27.800 snaps on defense and he has totaled twenty two snaps 0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:33.040 on defense this season. So he hadn't had much experience, 0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:39.879 but he is somewhat versatile as a safety. McKenzie Alexander 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.639 is the guy that I could triggued just because of 0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.400 his stature. If you're looking, if you if you decide 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:50.879 to play Bland outside and I'm assuming Alexander, being a 0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:56.080
