I'm at CBS eleven 19 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: Bill Jones. Any questions there, But let's start things up 20 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: with the news of the day, and Mike McCarthy talked 21 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: about it in his press conference this morning. Layton vander 22 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: esh a full go today. What's up with that? Mickey? 23 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: That isn't really encouraging because you know, normally when you 24 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: have a broken bone like that, you're out of full 25 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: six weeks before you start doing anything. So the fact 26 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: that they feel like he can be a full go. 27 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: In practice last week he was very limited. It was 28 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: basically individual drills, you know, skeleton drills. But when they 29 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: kind of got the pads on and started doing stuff, 30 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: he was out on that, but it sounded like he 31 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: was going to take part in that. So it'll be 32 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: interesting see how much he does tomorrow, which would be 33 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: a normal Thursday practice when they actually put the pads 34 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: on and they do have a little bit of contact, 35 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: to see how much he's able to do that. But if, 36 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: if you know, it all goes well and they think 37 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: he can play boy, that's good to have your middle 38 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: linebacker back in there and you kind of get everybody 39 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: doing what you assume they would be doing at the 40 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: beginning of the season before he suffered the fractured collar bone. 41 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: It was the first game of the season, right, so yeah, 42 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: that that's a good sign. I understand that Sean Lee 43 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: and Chitubeo Woozier were still with the trainers doing rehab, 44 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: and Everson Griffin was not at the open portion of practice, 45 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: So we'll see what's going on there. Because from what 46 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: I went back and looked, it looked like he finished 47 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: the game. So I don't know if something else came 48 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: up or not, but boy, it sure looked good, you 49 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: guys when they put that dreamline together, and they basically 50 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: did it almost the entire second half when they were 51 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: in Nickel with DeMarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford, Alden Smith and 52 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: then Everson Griffin. Those four guys on the field, there's 53 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: no sense putting if you're in nickel. To me, there's 54 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: no sense putting those big old defensive tackles out there 55 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: because they ain't doing nothing. You know, they're just kind 56 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: of taken up space. But you don't want taking up 57 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: space in Nickel. You want to get to the quarterback, 58 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: and they weren't really doing a very good job of 59 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: doing that. Although I did notice, you guys, when I 60 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: went back and looked the game, Neville Gallimore was had 61 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: more mobility. He made a tackle. He was on the 62 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, the ball bounced outside and he ran 63 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: down on the line, maybe about four yards deep into 64 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys territory and made the tackle. I didn't see 65 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: any of that from Don Terry Poe. They need to 66 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: play that kid more. Yeah, I'm sure Bill won't argue 67 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: with that, will you, Bill? Oh? You kid right there 68 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about and you talked about him last week 69 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: at least earlier this week. I'm really loving that kid. 70 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: I like his energy, I like his size. You know, 71 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: o U and Big twelve weren't known from making a 72 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: lot of plays defensively, but as an individual athlete, this 73 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: guy's amazing to going to Leyden. According to what you 74 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: said last week, spats uh Leyden is Uh. Well, it was. 75 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: They had to snatch him out of practice last week 76 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: because he was so popped up and trying to get 77 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: get going. So just hoping that he'll be okay. Yeah, absolutely, 78 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: And and and that puts him in the middle, and 79 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: then you have more I think flexibility with what you 80 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: do defensively, because Joe Thomas, if you need a true 81 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: strong side linebacker, he can do that. I just don't 82 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: know that he's hit his best spot is in the middle. 83 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: I think his best spot is the linebackers on the edge, 84 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: either weak or strong. And so we'll see where they 85 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: go with that. And remember they kind of used that 86 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Francis Bernard in a few plays or is it Bernard 87 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: fancies I can't get his name straight, Sorry about that, 88 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: but anyway, they kind of worked him into some of 89 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: the linebacking stuff. So we'll see where this goes. But 90 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: it'd be good to have the guy that we saw 91 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: in training camp that was basically running the show. He 92 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: was setting people up. He seemed to have a really 93 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: good grasp of what was going on, So that would 94 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: be a welcome sight on that defense. So if if 95 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: he comes back, if Leyden comes back, then Jalen goes 96 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: to the week side. Correct, Well, he stayed on the 97 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: week side. Joe was playing on the middle. Yeah, but 98 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: now he won't have to worry about bringing in the 99 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: call from the sideline. The communication system will go into 100 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: Layton's helmet at middle linebacker. Well, let me ask let 101 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Mickey, because Mike Nolan, it kind 102 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: of it's more of a we talk about more about 103 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: like a hybrid type defense. Could they go more to 104 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: a four three base defense with Layton vander eshback in 105 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: the middle and then Jay len At at the will 106 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: and then and working better that way because that five 107 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: man front was working. In fact, this past week Aldon Smith. 108 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: The previous week he was playing on the outside in 109 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: that five man front. This week they moved him into 110 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 1: a five technique when they went to a five man front, 111 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: which which helped because the week before you had three 112 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: big guys there in the middle, and obviously it just 113 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: wasn't working as against the run game that Cleveland presented. Yeah, 114 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: building the thing guy noticed going back and watching the 115 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: game is they started off trying to play the three 116 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: four front. It just wasn't working U. And by time 117 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: the second half started, I didn't see hardly any three 118 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: four fronts. It was basically a four man front. Uh. 119 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: And then maybe they would if they wanted to go heavy. 120 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: They stood up one of the defensive ends as a 121 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 1: as a linebacker. I think that works so much better 122 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: than than trying to play that through. The guys aren't 123 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: the right side. I mean they're they're heavy enough, but 124 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: they're not They don't have the length to play that 125 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: position as three four defensive ends. So I think I 126 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: think it's more a mentalities fags. I think it's more 127 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 1: of a mental thing, uh than it is physical. They're 128 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: just not accustomed to the technique itself. When you've been 129 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: taught to have that track stance going get to the quarterback. 130 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: When you set the edge, it's really going to be tight. 131 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: It's not going to be a floating edge. That's the 132 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: way a defensive end is taught. He's taught to blow 133 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: it up. When you start telling me that I have 134 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: to make sure no one gets outside of me and 135 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: I can't be aggressive, I can't go forward, then that 136 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: just kind of messes them up and instead of them react, 137 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: instead of them acting, they're reacting, and that once you 138 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: start to react, then you hesitate. That hesitation gets you outflanked, 139 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: and then we have what we have with running backs 140 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: going down the field on the outside. I just felt 141 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: like watching those first several games that that defense was 142 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: playing catch more so than attacking, and they weren't very 143 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: good at playing catch, by the way, and by the way, 144 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: to start off the Giants game in that three to 145 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: four defense, the personnel that the Cowboys had to start 146 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: the game at the defensive ends, the Marcus Lawrence lined 147 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: up at right as a right outsideebacker in a three four. 148 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: Dorian's Armstrong was the left outside linebacker in a three four, 149 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: and then in the three inside guys you had Alden Smith, 150 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: Don Terry Poe and Tristan Hill. Where your three down lineman. 151 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: The two five techniques were Alden Smith and Tristan Hill 152 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: with Don Terry Poe on the nose. And that's the 153 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: way they started that game in that three four. And 154 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: now you don't have the worst and now you don't 155 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: have Tristan Hill. So that's right. How did the Giant 156 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: start off personnel wise? Guy? They were there in on offense, 157 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: they were in twelve personnel, and so that's why the 158 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys are in their base, which was a three four. 159 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: So we see the first couple of plays they had 160 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: two tight ends and then they went with their nickel 161 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: package and that's when obviously the Cowboys are in a 162 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: four man front at that point. But I just vander 163 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: the return of Vanderas and we'll see where he is 164 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: if he'll be able to play on Monday night or not. 165 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: But it will add so much to this defense, I think. 166 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: To heaving back, of course, the biggest thing is they 167 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: got the knowing leading back, but they eating back for 168 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: the long term too, you know. And the other thing 169 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: they did and they lapsed into it, and I think 170 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: Mike Nolan pointed it out. You know, they started is 171 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: not in the second half. At some point they started 172 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: implementing a dime defense. And so what they were doing 173 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: is they were taking one of the safeties bringing them 174 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: up front, and then Jalen and one of the safeties 175 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: were kind of in the gaps on the line of scrimmage, 176 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: so you didn't know if they were dropping into coverage 177 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: or if they were coming as a pass rusher. And 178 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: and I guess in the back they were probably playing 179 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of zone, but they were using six 180 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: dbs back there at times. And so I don't I 181 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: don't know if you employ that to try to confuse 182 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: a young quarterback. All I know is you're going to 183 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: have another second year quarterback this year, just like Daniel 184 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: Jones was last week. Yeah, but he won't be just 185 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones. No, he will not different kid. Tell 186 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: the different kid back there. I think the only advantage 187 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: we may have, and I'm sure everyone thinks that every 188 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: week is just the size of factor Hopefully we can 189 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: surround him enough to where we can make that throw 190 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: out of the pocket, like throwing out of a well. 191 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: He had a couple. He had an interception last week 192 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: that was batted down at the line of scrimmage or 193 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: batted up into there and it was intercepted by d Lineman, linebacker. 194 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: So you know, we could look for that. I mean, 195 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: that's keep him in the pocket, look for that. But 196 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: that's easier said than done because people have been trying 197 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: to do it all his career and they hadn't worked 198 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: out yet. You know, he's he's already rushed for two 199 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety six yards, so in the NFL he 200 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: ranked sixteenth, but he's got more yards rushing than any 201 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: other quarterback in the league, and that includes Lamar Jackson, 202 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: who's the next guy. He's got fifty eight yards more 203 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: than Jackson does rushing and he's ran for five touchdowns. 204 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: So you know, we talk about his ability in the pocket, 205 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: and but boy, he can get out and that will 206 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: cause you a problem. Tyrone Crawford was talking about it yesterday, 207 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: how this the the pass rush. You have to be 208 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: uh consistent, You have to stay in your lanes. You 209 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: can't collapse because if he bounces outside, you're gonna have 210 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: problems because linebackers can't run with them. And I guarantee 211 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: you there's some safeties that can't run with him either, 212 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: you know. And the other thing is he leads the 213 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: league in yards per carry amongst everybody. You get seven 214 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: point two yards per carry and on forty one carries 215 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: so far this season. So if he's a rambles, these 216 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: are designed resign runs. Yeah right, yeah, And we got 217 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: by the way, I was telling Bill ever since we 218 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: were talking about Murray playing at AT and T Stadium, 219 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: and I saw that the vice president of media relations 220 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: sent out this little note on his record at AT 221 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: and T Stadium. He's six and old, five and old 222 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: all time at Allen High School, three and three of 223 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: those were winning state titles, and then in his college 224 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: one time in college at Oklahoma, want to know, winning 225 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve championships. So he's not lost a game 226 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: at AT and T Stadium. I was at two of 227 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: those games, by the way, so I can I can 228 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: confess and I can tell you just exactly how those 229 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: games win. He's an amazing player. I told you guys yesterday, 230 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: I pulled against him every time I saw him play, 231 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: and he made the believer out of me. By the 232 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: time he got to Oklahoma. I don't know what the 233 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: heck went on at A and M, but they had 234 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: no idea what they had. I know they had a 235 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: lot of chaos going there at that time. But the 236 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: best thing that could have happened to Oklahoma was the 237 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: chaos at A and M, and boy, he did everything 238 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: he could to make those soon as winners. Try. In fact, 239 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: the thing about it is Kyle Allen was at A 240 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: and M when Kyler Murray was at an N and 241 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, who's of course now with the Washington football team, 242 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: started last week and the Cowboys will be playing Washington 243 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: next week. We'll see if Kyle Allen, of where he 244 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: is health wise, whether he's he'd be playing. But Kyler 245 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: and Kyle Allen were came in together and they couldn't 246 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: make a decision on which guy they were going to 247 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: use at A and M, and both of them wound 248 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: up transferring out. Kyler went to OU and Kyle Allen 249 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: went to Houston, and they had a third core the back. 250 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: I believe it was Hill right well, Kenny Hill was 251 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: there and he ended up at TCU from the TCU 252 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: and he played well at TCU, and he was he 253 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: was before Murray and Allen, he was prior to them. 254 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: What are you trying to remember? I remember his first game. 255 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: I remember his first game. I think it was against 256 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: South Carolina and they were getting right. He lights out 257 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: and fifty yards passing or something crazy. What are you 258 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: trying to say about A and M. Well, they screwed 259 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: it up. They screwed up three times. They screwed up well. 260 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: And here's the deal. And not to get on college 261 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: talked so much, but since we're talking, Kyler Murray and M. 262 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: A and M had the greatest opportunity in the world 263 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: after Johnny Manziel was there because they were on the map. 264 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: They had just moved to the SEC. Manziel wins the 265 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy and they blew it as far as their 266 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: quarterback situation is concerned. And oh he was in the 267 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: same position here in the last few years when they 268 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: took on Baker Mayfield. He wins the Heisman and they 269 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: get Kyler Murray whatever, and they were able to make 270 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: it to the college football playoffs. And so Lincoln Riley 271 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: has had it, has taken advantage of that because as 272 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's in the college football, the NFL, 273 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: or whatever, especially in college football as far as recruiting goes. 274 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: You know, when you those kids, they don't remember what 275 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: happened in two thousand, two thousand and five. They remember 276 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: what happened in two thousand and fifteen, okay, or the 277 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: ones coming out this year, they remember what happened in 278 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen, and so you better take advantage of that. 279 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: And A and M did not take advantage of it 280 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: because they had some disarray and weren't making the right 281 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: decisions on their coaching staff. There was indecision there. Ye, 282 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: all right, So it's almost break time, Nicky, you had something. 283 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: We'll talk to DeAndre Hopkins.

All right, Mickey, let's talk to Andre Hopkins. 332 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: That was the big move that the Cardinals made in 333 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: the off season. And Bill O'Brien no longer has a 334 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: job in the in Houston after making that move in 335 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: the off season. It seems to be wor working out 336 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: well vode for Cliff Gingsbury in Arizona. So somebody in 337 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: Houston must have looked at the league stats and saw 338 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: that dean DeAndre Hopkins was leading the league with forty 339 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: five catches already after just five games, and leading the 340 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: league with five hundred and twenty eight receiving yards. And 341 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: what caught my eye seeing that when it came to 342 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: catches number two, it was a Marii Cooper with thirty nine, 343 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: and Cedee Lamb, by the way, is the leading rookie. 344 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: He's twelfth in the league with twenty nine catches. And 345 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: the next rookie was some guy named Chenault. Love this 346 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: guy this guy, Yeah, Jacksonville and uh. And then when 347 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: it came to receiving yards, Lamb is fifth with four 348 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three. But Hopkins is a load, and 349 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure Everson Walls has kind of kept an eye 350 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: on him. He looks like he's awfully tough to cover 351 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: in man. Hell yeah, that's why he's got paid the 352 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: big bucks. I don't know what O'Brien was thinking. I 353 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: thought he I think one of his his this is 354 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: from a black twitter, black twitter, said he was twitter 355 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: black Twitter. Yeah, I heard black twitters out there, black Twitter. 356 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: You know that. That's when you get all the street logic, 357 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, they said, Okay, the word from the streets 358 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: is O'Brien didn't like the fact that d Hop had 359 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: too many baby mamas, so that's why he got rid 360 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: of them. He thought that was a bad influence on 361 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: the team. I don't know what the heck he was thinking, 362 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: because right now, sure he's paying a whole bunch of 363 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: child support with that new contract you got well and 364 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: and along the lines of that new contract, you know 365 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 1: there can I'm sure that in Houston, the owner might 366 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: have had something to do with him not being there 367 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: and if he was deciding he didn't want to pay 368 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: that kind of money to a wide receiver, I don't know, 369 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: but that may have been what led to him the 370 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: trade as much as anything. I'm not sure that the 371 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys that was the off the street theory. By the way, 372 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: they didn't want to pay that money. Where you look 373 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: at it, the Cowboys don't pay their quarterback Houston, does 374 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: we pay our wide receivers? That getting off he doesn't 375 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: want to pay his wide receiver. Now you've got the 376 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: quarterback making all that money with no targets. So how 377 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: is that working out for Houston? That's not working out 378 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: very well right now. That sounds like Jerry's logic about, 379 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, trying to hold hold the cost down on 380 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: the quarterback so he can put guys around him. We'll see, 381 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: we'll see. But for the Cowboys this week, they're more 382 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: concerned about the Arizona Cardinal version of the Andre Hopkins 383 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: and just adding I think the biggest step that Kyler 384 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: Murray is making from year one to year two. They 385 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: went five and eleven last year. They've already got three 386 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: wins this year in the first five games. I would 387 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: think that d hop is the reason that Kyler Murray 388 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: has made the big step that he has made his 389 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: second year in the league. Well, yeah, and then you 390 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: still got Larry Fitzgerald to worry about, and Andy Isabella 391 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: has been a really good pick. Christ Kirk and Kirk, 392 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: you're you're exactly right. So yeah, they've done a nice 393 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: job surrounding him with some receiving options. You know, maybe 394 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 1: they saw what the Cowboys were doing with their receivers 395 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: and said, huh, maybe we need to add something here. 396 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: So uh, yeah, they've got a nice deal going. Offensively, 397 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna be I think. I think Kyler 398 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: Murray he's gonna be surrounded a lot this year, but 399 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: not with good wide receiver. He's gonna be surrounded by 400 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: a lot of defensive alignment because right now, I don't 401 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: think his old line is playing very well at all. 402 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaking these down the tight end, at least, 403 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: they're not playing well at the tight end position and 404 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: it's really leading leaving him with a few options. That's 405 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: why Hopkins had so many catches. Fitzgerald, of course, is 406 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: gonna play well into that, but they're weak on the 407 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: tight end spot. They're trying to get zach Ertz. If 408 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken or at least considering bringing in another 409 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: tight end, their running game is bad, Dad bad. I 410 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: think that it's gonna be them understanding. They're gonna come 411 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: out and try and get the two tight end running 412 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: game on us, but it's not gonna do well because 413 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: they just really don't have enough tight ends. The lineman 414 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: don't block well, and they're gonna scrap that running game 415 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: and they're gonna go straight to the passing game. They're 416 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: gonna go straight to Kylin Murray and usually what happens 417 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: is they just tell him, just go out there and 418 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: make a play when you can, regardless of what we call. 419 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: If you can make a play on your own, you 420 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: do that. And he's been doing that a whole They're 421 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: two tight ends are Darryl Daniels and Dan Arnold. And 422 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: but if you look at Larry Fitzgerald's yards per catch, 423 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: it looks like they're using him a lot like a 424 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: tight end. I mean, he's got he's got six point 425 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: eight yards per catch six point eight, so he's running 426 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: a lot of their ridden target. For the most part, 427 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: he's their red zone target when they do get there, 428 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: he is their tight end. You're right, Bill, And they've 429 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: been strong in the red zone. They're in the top 430 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: five in the league, and both red zone offense and 431 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: red zone defense. So that's sense a lot for where 432 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: they are right now. All right, Mickey, I want to 433 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: ask you, and I'm seeing on Twitter about how Randy 434 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: Gregory is looking at practice. I think Zeke was asked 435 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: about him. I'm seeing a tweet go by about that. Now, 436 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: Gregory would not be eligible until next week against Washington, 437 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: right right exactly, so he he had a two week 438 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: window to start practicing with the team. He didn't do 439 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: much last week my understanding, other than individual drills, skeleton drills, 440 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: things like that. So it was gonna be interesting to 441 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: see if they integrated into more into the team portion 442 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: of practice this week and then he'd be eligible to 443 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: play next week, so we'll see what they can, you know, 444 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: get out of him. Another pass rusher, and again he's 445 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: another guy in that same boat as Alden Smith, where 446 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: he hadn't played in a while. The last game he 447 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: played was the playoff game, the second round playoff game 448 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen or the the only I'm trying to 449 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: remember which it was, but that was the last game 450 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: he played. So it had been January of twenty nineteen, 451 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: so it's been a while since he's played a game. 452 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: But maybe you can get some designated pass rusher out 453 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: of the guy. You know, he's he's probably a little 454 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: heavier than he was when we last saw him play, 455 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: but he wasn't heavy enough then, so maybe he's got 456 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: it just about right. And then you just got to 457 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: see what is conditioning is. You can do all that 458 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: rehab work right, but you ain't pushing against the three 459 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: hundred pound defensive offensive tackle. So we'll see just what 460 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: they can get out of him. But that won't start 461 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: till next week. And the good thing for him is 462 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: what does he get back for a game? Is it 463 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: one game or two? And then the buy comes up 464 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: right and and so he's gonna be sore whenever he 465 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: gets out there after that first time around. Would you 466 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: like a scouting report on him? Ezekiel Elliott was asked 467 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: about him, and he said Gregory was lights out in 468 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: practice today. It was really tough to block him. I'm 469 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: excited to get Randy back. He's got those fresh legs 470 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: and he looks better than I've ever seen. Right, fresh 471 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: legs don't last long, Bill, Let's just remember that fresh 472 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: for long almost as bad as fresh fish. Okay, it 473 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: just doesn't last long. You're gonna have to ice him 474 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: down all you can. He's gonna see plenty of ice 475 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: before it all said and done. I look forward to 476 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 1: him coming back. I hope he does well all right, 477 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: and uh, Dak Prescott back in the building today, Mickey, Yes, 478 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy talked about how he adds a little bit 479 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: of electricity when he's in there, and it sounded like 480 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: all the guys were really glad to see him. So 481 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: it was the first time back in after the surgery. 482 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: You know, his Instagram posts today was pretty encouraging talking 483 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: about how he was feeling well. He thanked everybody that 484 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: sent him a well wishes. Uh, it was it was 485 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: so Dak right that. Yeah, it kind of I think 486 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: Rob probably put his teammates at ease too, sitting there 487 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: worrying about him, and so he seemed to be in 488 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: a pretty good nature and I'm sure that was good 489 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: for the team to see. And you know, just to 490 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: have him around because you know he's gonna be there, right, 491 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, when he starts his rehab, which I would 492 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: imagine a couple of weeks away, but again, just his 493 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: knowledge to be there and help out encourage because I 494 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: guarantee you and I had this somewhat confirmed by someone 495 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: else in the in the organization that part of those 496 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: tears when he left the field was he couldn't stand 497 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: the fact that he was going to be away from 498 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: his teammates, that he was kind of letting them down, 499 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: that he wasn't gonna be there, and that's just the 500 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: way he is. So yeah, I'm sure it was good 501 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: to see him back out there at the start. And 502 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: you had to you had to know that he knew 503 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: his teammates leaned on him a lot doing this tough 504 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: part of this, this scheduling, the tough part of the 505 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: season that they're having. He probably felt that they could 506 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,479 Speaker 1: they could only win with him in then. Uh. And 507 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's where most quarterbacks take, most leaders think 508 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: when they're playing involved. So it's just good to hear 509 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: to see the video. I did see the videos very encouraging. Uh. 510 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: It's amazing how he can have that's that kind of 511 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: attitude when when after what we saw, you know, on TV, 512 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: even when I saw him being rolled into the hospital, 513 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: he's looking at the game, you know, and then espressing 514 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: on his face was like he was just on the 515 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: couch having a beard you know, and I'm like, man, 516 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be okay. I'm more broken up than 517 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: he was. So it's just good to see how how 518 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: his spirits are were there. It's like you said, fact, 519 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: what else would you expect from him? That's just the 520 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: way he's always been. That's why he's you know, the 521 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: kind of young man that he is. And uh, you know, 522 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: one of the other things about that is, especially now 523 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: with COVID, guys that go on injured Reserve. I mean 524 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: even in a normal year here, guys that go on 525 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: injured Reserve, they and they're not really a part of 526 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: the team anymore. I mean they can't be a part 527 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: of anything. And I think that they obviously they are 528 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: going to make every effort. Obviously Deak is going to 529 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: go ahead, even in with the COVID restrictions and be 530 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,239 Speaker 1: around the building and be supportive and do what he 531 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: can to help his teammates out. They're going to make 532 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: sure of that because he can influence things even when 533 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: he's not playing. He has such that that positive, confident 534 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: spirit about him that can that can help out. But 535 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: that's one of the things when he's you know, he's 536 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: he's like seeing his whole the season flashed before his 537 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: eyes as he's been carted off the field, and you 538 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: can imagine what kind of emotions that would have when 539 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: you've invested so much is what he had into this. Yeah, 540 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: you go from being you know, the game is on 541 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: the line, right, you're playing, You're you're involved, you know, 542 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: you're doing what you were put on this earth to do, 543 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: and all of it just comes to a halt, just 544 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: boom like that. So here you are shocked from what 545 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: you see, the injury to yourself and then the realization 546 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: that hey, there's nothing more I can do for myself 547 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: right now. Everything I'm in someone else's hands. And that's 548 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: tough to feel that way. I missed only two games 549 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: when I played in my career. Those two came when 550 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: I was in New York, and man, you're right, being 551 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: on the injury reserve, you're just an afterthought, you know, 552 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: if you're even that, you know you can sit around 553 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: and try and talk to the guys about what's going on, 554 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: especially during the ball game, and it's you know, like, look, 555 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: you're in the way, Man, I got things to do. 556 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: So it's just the way it is. You want to 557 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: try and be as you want to try and be 558 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: there for your teammates, but when it's all said done, 559 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: it's not much you can do for them. And that's 560 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: extremely frustrating. Iron Man Everson Walls.

Growing up? 620 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: When was it? What was the first Cowboy game you 621 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: ever went to? Nine person seventy two? Yes, playoff game 622 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys versus forty nine ers, And I wouldcall, uh, I 623 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: believe the running back name was Vic number twenty two. 624 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: I think he would he would turned the opening kickoff 625 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: for a touchdown if I'm not mistaken, all right, And uh, 626 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: but we came back and we won the game, and 627 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: it was the like one of the first playoff games 628 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: in Texas Stadium. That's right, it would have been. And uh, 629 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: I was up there with the pigs, which, by the way, 630 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: comparable to now that wasn't that high? Yeah, and comparable 631 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: to now. But back then it was like wow, Well 632 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 1: I had no TV, no big screen TV to look at. 633 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: So Vic Washington, Vic Washington was the HT. When was 634 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: your first did you go to the Cotton Bowl? I 635 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: did go to a couple of games to the Cotton 636 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: Bowl with my dad, and that's why I bring it up. 637 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: He is. The first one I went to was in 638 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcon game. But the other one that I remember 639 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: going to at the Cotton Bowl was a Monday night 640 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: football game against the Cardinals, the Saint Louis Cardinals, and 641 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: it was the first time the Cowboys were ever on 642 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: Monday Night football. It was in nineteen seventy the Horrible Game, 643 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: and it was the worst game in Cowboys history at 644 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: that time. And Dandy Don Meredith was up in the 645 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: broadcast booth because that was his first year, well I 646 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: guess first year basically after retiring and and so you know, 647 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: he was with Howard Cosell on the Monday Night Football 648 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: broadcast booth. The Cowboys got beat by the Cardinals thirty 649 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: eight to nothing. But what I remember more than anything, yeah, nothing, 650 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: thirty eight to nothing. What I remember more than anything 651 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: from that game though, was in the second half of 652 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 1: the game, the Cowboys fans turned towards the Monday Night 653 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: Football broadcast booth and serenaded the Boots saying we want Dandy, 654 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: We want Dandy. And that's probably when Dandy first started 655 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: singing turn out the Lights parties over and Meredith and 656 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: Meredith with him, and Mereth was asked about that during 657 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: the game and he goes, there's no way I'm going 658 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: down there. He goes, I'm a lot safer where I'm at. 659 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: And then the Cowboys didn't lose another game till they 660 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: lost the Super Bowl that tried. They went all the 661 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: way to the Super Bowl real off a seven straight 662 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: wins something like that, and well, should have won that 663 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That was the Jim O'Brien kicked to win 664 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: it to fumble down on the goal line that Dave 665 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 1: Manders recovered. But anyway, no, no, still about the what 666 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: about the Mackie catch that should have been a real 667 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: rule incomplete because two offensive players touched it. Yeah, no 668 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: way that's supposed to happen, which makes the rule. Back then, 669 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: my first NFL game was at Wrigley Field. It was 670 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: the Bears and the Detroit Lions. So it had to 671 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: have been nineteen twenty four. Now, now you could have 672 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: guessed right, and it still would have been funny. Right, 673 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: it would have been somewhere in the late sixties, because 674 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,919 Speaker 1: Dick Buckas was already playing for the Bears. Uh and 675 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: George Clifton playing for the Lions and the middle linebacker 676 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: for the Lions was was it Joe Schmidt the middle linebacker? Yeah, 677 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: we had we had seats. Basically, the seats were the 678 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 1: first base box seats, so it was behind the goal 679 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: posts back then at Wrigley Field. And the seats that 680 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: they had there were basically the folding chairs from the 681 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: Catholic war vets. You know, they were just flimsy folding chairs. 682 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: There were no nets behind the goal posts back then, 683 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: right you guys. So when it was time to kick something, 684 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: everybody was standing on these rickety old chairs trying to 685 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: get a football right, and you had grown people diving 686 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: for balls over each other, knocking these chairs down. But 687 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,240 Speaker 1: the thing I remember most was I think Dick Buckkers 688 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: with those shoulder padsy Hannah had to be the biggest 689 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: human being I've ever seen in my life. And I 690 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: was probably thirteen fourteen something like that, fifteen at the most. 691 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, Wrigley Field, where the end zone to the 692 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: back wall was to the back left field wall and 693 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: the other one bumped up against the box seats on 694 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: the first base line. You know, Macky, you know why 695 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: there were nets behind the goal post back then, because 696 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: because the post post where on the line. Yeah, so 697 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: you didn't think the kick was gonna go at extra 698 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: ten yards? They couldn't gain that far. I'm just embarrassed 699 00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: that I know who Joe Plumpton is. Did you read 700 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: the book though? That's what I want to know, not 701 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: the documentary. Yeah. So the other thing I think I 702 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: will point out is the Cowboys have a couple. Once 703 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: they put dak In Tristan Hill on injured reserve, they'll 704 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: have like two to three open spots on the fifty 705 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: three man roster. But again, as we talked about, they 706 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: would probably be on you know, the Saturday elevating somebody 707 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: from the practice squad. Uh, it could be a defensive 708 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: tackle they liked that. Um, was it Hamilton? The defensive 709 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 1: tackles Hamilton? Yeah, they put on on the practice squad. 710 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: Maybe somebody like that. So we'll see where they go 711 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: from there. But I had a question for Everson that 712 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to get in. Uh, in light of what 713 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: we're seeing Michael Gallup do with these unbelievable catches along, 714 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: how do you how do you cover somebody like that? 715 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: Because he's covered right and he's going up not only 716 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: making the catch, but keeping his feet in bounds. And 717 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: he was asked yesterday, what are you thinking of when 718 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: you go up and catch the ball like that and 719 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: stay in bounds? And he said, well, the first thing 720 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: is to catch it. The second thing is I've learned 721 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: to let my feet go dead. So he could, I guess, 722 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: come down close to the to the inbounds and tap 723 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 1: his toes. But how do you I mean, as a dB, 724 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: you're right there and the guy's catching the ball. Well, 725 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: first of all, once you get down the field, there 726 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 1: is no dB or wide receiver. That's just the way 727 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: you gotta think of it. To me, as far as 728 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm concerning that's my ball. I'm not playing defense on 729 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,399 Speaker 1: him at all. If anything, I'm worried about him playing 730 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 1: defense on me. But I like what Gallup said about 731 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: letting his feet go dead. In other words, all of 732 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: his concentration goes to this, to his hands, and he 733 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,240 Speaker 1: just lets his by it go limp. So there's no tightness, 734 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 1: there's no tension. You know. It's almost like they say 735 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 1: when you get into an accident, if your body goes limp, 736 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: then you know you're gonna come out better for it. 737 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 1: That's just the athletic ability that he had. He is 738 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: one of the most unusual athletic players I think I've 739 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,720 Speaker 1: ever seen, because if you look at him run the routes, 740 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: you don't think it's anything amazing about how he runs it. 741 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: But if you've been called I don't know if you guys, 742 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: you remember the reception he made touchdown. I think he 743 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: was coming across the field last year and he ended 744 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: up on the other side of the sideline and he 745 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: did some kind of I don't know what the hell 746 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: move it was. It didn't like a pyrowet move. Was 747 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: able to keep both feet inbounds. I think a player 748 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 1: was at his feet and he still rolled over into 749 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: the end zone. You know this guy, man, And that's 750 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: why I said he's gonna have a breakout year. I've 751 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,959 Speaker 1: said it over and over again because what you see 752 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: from him is very few every few targets, but he 753 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: makes the most out of all of them, and when 754 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: you look at the game, you can tell he and 755 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,840 Speaker 1: Cooper's body language was, man, I need I need more touches. 756 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: I need more touches. And once they got it, both 757 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: of them were extremely professional about it by coming through 758 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: and when you see the throw by Dalton on the sidelines, 759 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: that was amazing to make that catch, keep your feet 760 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: and bounced by both on both sides as far as 761 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback as well. But once again, the way he 762 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: held his hands being able to catch the ball like that, 763 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: that is just extremely difficult. You guys should go out 764 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 1: and try to do it. Sometimes lean back, there's letter 765 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:43,919 Speaker 1: throw at the back of your head and just see 766 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: how much what you can do with that. You know, 767 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: to turn your hands like that and catch it. That's 768 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,359 Speaker 1: something that he's just so good at and it's not 769 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 1: in operation. That's what I like about it. He does 770 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,760 Speaker 1: things like this game in and game out. He's gonna 771 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: be guy for a long time. All Right, we're back 772 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 1: out of time. I do want to clarify and that 773 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: was great insight, Everson. We'll get more of that tomorrow 774 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: here on mix shots. I do want to clarify one 775 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 1: thing before we live. You mentioned Hamilton, Mickey, the Hamilton 776 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: You're there's a couple of Hamilton's on the practice squad, 777 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: and the one you're referring to is the defensive tackle 778 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 1: who is Justin Hamilt. Justin Hamilton, Yeah, not Ladarius Hamilton. 779 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: Ladarius is out of North Texas. He's more of a 780 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,720 Speaker 1: defensive end type. But Justin Hamilton is a three hundred 781 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: ten pounder, and so he would be a likely guy 782 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 1: that they might call up on them. And and what 783 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 1: do we say? Last week? They called up one from 784 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: the practice squad last week, number forty Parker. We're going 785 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: the next day. Who's this guy? Better study? Spags missed 786 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: that you did not mention him, Spags will We'll leave 787 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,959 Speaker 1: on this positive note that the defense I've noticed has 788 00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:04,439 Speaker 1: moved from h to twenty seven. Yeah, run defense went 789 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: from thirty first to twenty seventh. So they're moving on up. 790 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:16,919 Speaker 1: We're moving up, baby, Yeah, moving on up? All right, 791 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,759 Speaker 1: that doesn't for mixed shots. And we will see you 792 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: again tomorrow at one thirty as we will make our 793 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 1: picks for the Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals tomorrow. 794 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: See you on Friday, Go Cowboys. This has been a 795 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys 796 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: Football Club.
