You could find a parking space 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:07.320 like just I don't twenty yards away place every day? Well, 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.840 you're you're I find the park place every day. I 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.880 find the pocket place. It's crazy. Maybe you're too early. 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:20.880 Maybe that's it people go to Maybe I get That's all. 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.560 I was just gonna say, did you get here right 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:27.560 as people?

There's one hundred yards of parking across the street. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.000 You gotta do is walk. There's not that old well 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.560 Bill has to walk from Balo, Scott and White. And 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.920 that's the problem. I'm walking three hundred yards when I 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.920 go park when I'm thinking I'm gonna get one ten 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:55.480 yards away. That's try. So people take vacations, leave, okay, 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.480 take another, wait until after the football seasons over to 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:05.920 come back to work, work remotely. Oh yeah, that's so Spagnola. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:10.239 I see football players arriving on a football field outside 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.080 go to practice today day. Yeah, I like this little 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.919 crispy air chilling the ads too. For the first half 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.680 of practice, they're gonna you don't want to overdo it. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.440 Is that a yeah? Is that a sacrifice? Yes? Or 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.400 so we go into the locker room and take the 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.840 pads off and then come back out for the second 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.880 half of practice. No, they normally take them up out. Yeah, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.040 they got that would be too much for them to 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.680 have the ad to go back to the locker shelves 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.120 out there they need them. Yeah. They speaking of this 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:45.520 rest they're talking about, you know, how do we approach 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.000 this game, and you know, you gotta be ready and 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:53.440 you gotta rest from what they've had thirteen days before 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.960 they play a game, right, and the practice of themselves, No, 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.359 not thirteen. It played the Thursday game and then they're 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.760 coming back playing on the Saturday, ten days something like that. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.680 Why are we worried about rest all season long? You know, 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.680 I keep everybody talks about rest like we're back in 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.760 nineteen eighty. We're not in nineteen eighty anymore. We're not 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.440 in nineteen nine. Play an extra game, you have to, 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.880 Oh day, you're not even practicing hard, you're not even practicing. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.720 What are they resting for? You? Understand? Yes, because you 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.440 have a chance, you have they where they had that. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.200 This is the last padded practice allowed padded practice this year. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:38.160 They get thirteen from thirteen practicing and you only get 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.640 the last month of the season. Yeah, you can't like 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.400 store them up and then use them all at the end. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.560 There's rest. I assume you have plenty of rest. You 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.480 get another padded for twenty years every week. Thank you. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.080 Let's produce a supreme I mean, come on, man, this 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.480 red this thing about rest is really at this point overrated, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.000 And that's good. We fought for that for the union, 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.160 all right, you know, less padded practices and guys get 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.200 more rest, take care of because as we get older, 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.200 all that stuff comes back at you. Man, these guys. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.720 Mike McCarthy was talking about it during the press conference today. Yes, yes, 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.520 producers Supreme producer Supreme. Did you say something I said? 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.120 They also pay in the off season to workout. Did 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.080 you have that happen to you? Okay, hold on, hold on, 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.920 wait wait waitnte back up, Chris? What did you just say? 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.920 They they hear Chris can people here, Chris, Yeah, they 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.360 paid something to work out OTAs. Yeah, they get paid 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.360 to work out in the off season. Now I'm sure 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.480 you did too, right. No, No, you're welcome. That's all 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.039 I have to say to them is you're welcome. You 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.640 paid the way, make more money, Bill, me and Nate. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.520 You're suffering. Come on, and now we're talking about getting 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.400 rest for the playoff run. I mean, for real, it's 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.920 it's funny, but to me, it's this rest thing is overrated. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.440 Now they get they don't even only practice. They should 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.320 be full tilt every game. I don't care if they 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.960 played twenty game, which let's hope they played twenty games 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.599 and they don't. They just don't need to me when 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.200 it comes to this whole strategy about okay when we 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.080 go into the playoffs, I just thought that was on 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.160 the way in. This is not nineteen ninety. They don't 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.280 need rest. I mean, you you risk injury, of course, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.800 but you could do that in any game. But to 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.279 say that we need to rest these guys, that is 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.560 that is overrated right now. It doesn't even exist to me. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.279 And that's just looking at it from a realistic standpoint, 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.640 especially when you compare what it was versus what it is. Yeah, 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.359 and you know, not just rest during the week. I 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.680 mean they're talking about resting in a game like not 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.359 playing your guys. Well, you only got forty eight guys 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:52.720 to play, and you can't rest all your starters, right. Uh, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.680 somebody's got to play special teams too. And then the 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.880 guys that are playing special teams, they got to play 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.839 sixty snaps. And I thought McCarthy made a good point. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.839 It's like, yeah, you know, we're we understand getting ready 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.640 for the playoffs, but we got some things to figure 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.760 out on our offensive line, right they do they different 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:17.320 combinations and I'm sure playing a center trying and the 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.480 backup right, the backup center hadn't played in any football 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.760 in a while. If it's forniac and it sounds like 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.839 they're gonna judge today how he plays in practice to 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.680 see if they'll elevate him and put him on the 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.360 fifty three with that open spot that they created by 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.039 releasing James Washington. Uh, they got to figure out the 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.680 cornerback spot, you know. Um, you know, do they go 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.720 the way they finished the game? Are they gonna get 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.400 Trayvon Mullen ready to play? Who's played this year? Um? 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.120 So yeah, they got things to figure out. It's not like, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.160 so what's going on with McKenzie Alexander? Now, yeah, I 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.360 don't know, but he sure didn't I don't know if 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.280 he didn't impress him or what. Yeah, I was gonna 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.159 say his name hadn't come up in the last yeah, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:03.720 four or five days. Well, because they used basically predominantly 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:08.800 Nashan Wright. It was the Philadelphia game, he got fourteen snaps, right, 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.880 he was out there early and then wasn't the kind 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.920 of switching and then nothing in the last Tennessee game. Yeah, 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:21.920 absolutely so. Wonder if it's a conditioning thing. Uh, that part. 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.480 I doubt it. Well, yeah, well it was his first 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:30.600 time to play this year, right, yeah, or they just 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.640 you know what I'm saying. Maybe he wasn't play the 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.600 next game, but he didn't play the next Maybe he 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.080 wasn't efficient, you know, right, and now not many people were. 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.520 Then well they're still on the team though, yes, and 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.720 mull and Hattan played, but now it looks like they 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.040 it looks like they're trying to get them ready to 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:56.520 play um and then you know they Kelvin Joseph had 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:01.360 had to have emergency root canal yesterday. The guy's always 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:09.000 got you know, and I understand, Okay, something else it's 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.480 like and it's not his fault, right, Yeah, he got 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.600 a hit tooth problem you gotta take care of. I 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.200 have one too, Well, I'll take care of next week. 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:22.240 But it's just something, you know. I don't know if 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.160 the guy's you know, snake bit or what. But it's 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.960 like we talked yesterday right about about the penalty on 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.880 the on the punt for punt interference. Yeah, he was 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.520 where he was supposed to be and then the punt 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.800 floated over towards him and the guy had to go 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.200 over there and it hits him in the Yes, he 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:46.400 really does. Yeah, that's why he's pay Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:51.240 the Cowboys, by the way, only had five guys on 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:57.400 the practice report. Uh, Joseph obviously and be honest, did 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.080 not practice. And then limited was to Marcus Lawrence, but 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.880 he's been limited for a month. That's just kind of 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.800 how they're treating it. Vander Ash was limited and he 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.960 won't do anything in pads today, McCarthy said, but they're 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.959 hoping to get him into some seven on seven on Saturday. 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.840 So he sounded like they were ramping him up to 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.120 be ready for that first playoff game. So that that 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.959 was encouraged. And Tony Pollard came back and practice full. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:30.640 And as for your commanders, they had eleven guys DNPDE 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.760 on their practice report. They didn't have any limited or full. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.760 It was eleven DNP and it was a bunch of 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:43.560 starters too. So I don't know if they're gonna pull 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.920 back and say, Okay, you know, let's look at some 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.599 guys for next year. Well, they obviously are at the 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:56.040 quarterback position, and that's interesting. I went back and looked 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.160 at his numbers from last year at North Carolina, about 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.560 eight hundred and twelve yards rushing. I think I think 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.240 it was also eleven rushing touchdowns, yes, as we pointed 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.800 out yesterday, So that's going to be at Bill pointed 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.360 out touchdown. He's got a couple of other touchdowns over 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.840 for the yards. So it's a matter of, you know, 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.000 you got to prepare for somebody haven't seen play in 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.080 the NFL. But I think it makes it more complicated 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:26.360 that if they decide to, you know, use his running ability, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.840 that now it's even more complicated. Well, concerns me more 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.680 than their offense, the Commander's offense is how well their 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.600 defense is playing. Right, I don't know how well they're playing, 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.600 but I do know that's a formidable group that just 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.840 that they were last year. I mean, the front line 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:48.280 is highly valuable and efficient, and it does, yeah, give 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:49.880 me a little bit pause if they're going to be 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.920 a full strength. They are statistically sixth in the league 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:59.920 in total defense number five, pass defense number fourteen, run 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:04.720 defense fourteenth, and points allowed. And I don't think they've 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.720 been full of strength. Chase is not back yet. Now 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.640 he is back. He wanted to get back a couple 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.960 of weeks ago, but he played last week and I 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.520 just wrote it down this morning. He got thirty eight 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.920 snaps against Cleveland on Sunday. Well, five of those eleven 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:26.080 were defensive starters that didn't practice, including Montez Sweat and 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.320 Jonathan Alan. I don't want to see another Sweat, Yeah right, 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:34.760 too much sweat. A starting corner didn't practice, starting safety, 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.160 and a starting linebacker did not practice yesterday. So they've 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:44.040 got some issues. So former player, what kind of mindset 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.199 do the Commanders have this week having just been eliminated 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.720 from the playoffs and they are three days away from 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.480 hitting a golf course. I think it matters a lot 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.120 on what kind of position the coach has with the organization, really, 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.000 because I don't know what's going on with the head 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.439 coach Ron Rivera. I mean, you know this, this season 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.800 didn't turn out the way, but they had a stretch 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.800 there where I mean they went six one and one 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.400 during one stretch, including a win over the Philadelphia Eagles 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.559 in the middle of the season. Then when you look 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.079 at that and you say, okay, well let's keep this up. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.320 Now you've raised the standard. But then now the standard 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.000 is drop down. So they had that they were six 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.120 They started the season one and four, and then they 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.959 won six of their next seven games, including that win 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.640 over Philadelphia. Their only loss came against the Vikings, a 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.080 three point loss during that stretch, and then they had 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.000 the tie against the Giants that dropped them to seven 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.600 to five and one a bye week, then they lost 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.679 to the Giants, they lost at San Francisco, and they 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.000 lost to Cleveland. So here now they're on a three 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.440 game losing so so that that bowes well as far 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.560 as how you answer that question, you know, what what how? 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.000 What kind of position is the coaching? Yeah, you know, 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.640 is the coach going to be Okay, hate to hear 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.400 your coach say I didn't know we were eliminated from 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.880 the playoffs. Yeah too. I mean this is stuff that publicly, Yeah, 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.440 it doesn't bothe well for anyone on the team. So 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.440 you seven five and one and they were in the 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.520 playoffs and then they lose three and tie one, and 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.559 the next you set that standard and then all of 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.560 a sudden, you know you can't keep up with that standard. Well, 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:24.679 the coach may be safe until the ownership situation. That's 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.360 why I was head. I'm thank you, Bill, That's why 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.480 I was head. In regards to the new ownership. It 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.880 just doesn't look good, you know. So if I'm a player, 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.880 I'm ready to play, especially with these conditions that I 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.560 just fussed about earlier in the show. I'm bad to 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.320 go out there and play and do my thing. I 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:45.200 played several seasons without a hope of going to the playoffs, 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:51.839 only a couple No, No, six, seven, sixty seven, nine seven, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.800 you were it wasn't close. Eighty six was close, well 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:02.319 at half and half away, right exactly, So that would 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:07.160 be what the the strike season, you weren't you got eliminated, 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.240 you know, pretty the strike season itself was a loss, 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.719 right you know. To me, that's like the the uh 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.360 when they the NBA was was in the bubble, that's 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.640 what because your first four years you guys were in it, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:25.520 of course, eighty one through eighty five. Yeah, in eighty five, well, 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.760 eighty four we did make it, but it went down 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:31.800 to the Monday night to review. Everson's career with the 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:37.520 Cowboys nineteen eighty six, as Mickey has well chronicled through 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.000 the years, was what a six and two start of 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.960 the season, then losing seven of the last eight games, 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:50.240 Number one off the league eighty seven. The strike year 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.880 was disastrous seven and eight. Seven and eight was the 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.840 final record, but lost four straight from Thanksgiving week and 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.040 until Christmas. When the players came back, we were bawling 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.960 doing the tow. So it fell to Vans and they 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.680 were playing against the piece of the jail, and I 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.480 just got in the prison. Final record was seven and eight, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.680 but it was five and eight before winning the last 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.240 two games of the season. And then of course eighty 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:24.320 eight was and I must say, you were here nine 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.800 that eighty eight season. There were some games where, god, 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.760 we were actually pretty competitive, I mean, considering the situation. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.200 I was kind of proud of some of those games, 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.120 even though we lost them. You know, we went out 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.760 fighting as opposed to eighty nine, when we just had 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:44.520 no fight at all. Yep, there were, ye, there was 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.280 a lot of one point, I mean one score losses 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:52.200 in that The last game, the last game against Philadelphia 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.000 was a loss twenty three to seven, which got Jimmy 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.600 and Jerry the first pick in the draft. That's right, 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.160 because the Cowboys loss and I think Green Bay ended 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.880 up winning. That's right. So now the Ada green Bay 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:11.680 is in position. The numbers weren't good, but the competitiveness 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.040 was there. I do remember that I was proud of 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.800 some of the younger guys that came in and tried 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.160 to establish themselves.

It was a very 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.240 dynamic read by Mickey Spagnola, who is not interested in 0:18:55.359 --> 0:19:00.239 going out and checking who's on the practice fields there 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:06.280 probably stretching, that's right. He's defeated by the whole process 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.640 that twelve fifteen, when they were supposed to be out 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.639 all season long. He could run out there the next 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.439 one what he could, Okay, at twelve thirty, he'll go 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:18.800 run out there. All right, We've got the fifteen finalist 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:23.000 modern day finalist name for the Pro Football Hall of 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:28.399 Fame voting, and there's obviously a Cowboys flavor to it 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.639 with Darren Woodson, DeMarcus Ware and I'm gonna go ahead 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.040 and count Zach Thomas since he finished up his career 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.720 with the Cowboys. Yeah, I'm with you on that with 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.320 SPACs he played for the Cowboys. He is it on 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:44.920 this list because he played for the Cowboy. Okay, if 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.600 he would have to win the Super Bowl, now that 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.560 would have been a whole different thing. But he did 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.680 get in a playoff game. Okay, two thousand No, two 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:55.520 thousand and eight. Sorry, all right, So do you want 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.840 to read off the whole list or no? No? Okay, good. 0:19:58.280 --> 0:19:59.919 I don't want to hear it, and I don't want 0:19:59.920 --> 0:20:02.200 to and I don't want to hear about Well. Now, 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.280 I don't know if there's room for this guy or 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.640 that guy, because look at all these great guys here. 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.359 If they don't put Darren Woodson in the Hall of 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:14.119 Fame this year, they ought to revoke their voting rights 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.240 to Let's let's look at it like this. If you 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:22.240 are a finalist so many times, obviously you are considered 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.440 by more than one or two or three people. If 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:30.600 you considered that many times, there should be a time 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:34.800 to Okay, it's automatic. But this is his first time 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.080 as a finalist. He's been a semi finalists over and 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.920 over again. And you got Levoy Butler sitting in the 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.040 Hall of Fame. Okay, here's the one that I didn't remember. 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:51.960 Carnal Lake, of course, Pittsburgh Steelers, Steve Atwater. I knew that, Broncos. Okay, 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:56.320 I want you to explain to people the difficulty of 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.879 what what he did playing safety and then going in 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:04.400 a slot and covering Jerry Rice at the end of 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:07.359 his career, right, he was doing that still still he 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:12.200 was of his comercial teams too. Yes, yes, because Abazano 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.840 would not let him off special team because he's a 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.840 leader and he's the guy that can can right the ship. 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:21.280 If something's going going off off Chilter, he's the guy 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:22.680 that's gonna go out there and take care of it, 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.520 even on special team. So to be able to play 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:30.880 at such a high level at safety, sacks, coverage, hits 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.639 down the field, turnovers, all those things that he was 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.200 a depth at and then to drop down and play 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:41.680 in the slot. Who the the main ingredient for third 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.480 downs and seconds and longs. They drop him down into 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.240 the slot and this man who was a former linebacker 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:53.520 at Arizona State and back, Yes, former linebacker, comes in 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.800 and now he's a big safety. I saw a return 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.680 a fumble the other night. He's Hugh, He's got the 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:01.000 big shoulder pass and everything. He never went to the 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.680 field goal players show the pass field goal kicker, shoulder pads, 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.040 field goal kick. That's what I had. I had. I 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:08.440 ended up at the end of my career. I got 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.200 smaller pass because you know, you gotta you gotta work. 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:12.639 You don't have time for all that, and you're not 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.320 make take as many hits. He drops down and he's 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.600 prolific covering the slot man, which is one of the 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:23.400 more difficult positions. I know for a fact that Belichick 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:25.680 made me do it when I was in New York 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.720 at the end, at the end of my career. That's 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.879 what I had to do. And there's no tips that 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:34.639 you can have in regards to how the wide receiver 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:36.919 lines up. Well, if he's closer to the tackle than 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.640 he's gonna be going inside or outside. No, there are 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.840 no tips the guys in the slot. He can go 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.520 either way he wants to go. And if you don't 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.679 get your hands on this over He was adept at that. 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:50.600 I don't mean that. He just they just put him 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.320 down there, and just because they had nobody else, that 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.639 was his job. At the end of his career, Leroy 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.800 Butler would never attempt to cover a wide receiver in 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:04.040 the slot period. Nowhere at Water. Never was he asked 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.440 to do something like that. They were will you were 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:10.520 going to see them at all times. De Woodson, he 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:13.040 was down there in the slot just when it magic 0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:16.120 on third down, second and long two minute drill. All 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:21.560 of that, Okay, don't count it against Darren Woodson that 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.760 he hasn't been a finalist the previous six times that 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:28.800 he's been a semifinalist, Okay, because the way it works, 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:32.919 they break it down basically by position, and they are 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.040 not going to put more than one safety in each year, 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:42.479 and so the voters decided that certain guys ranked they 0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:47.040 ranked them ahead of Woody wrongly in many cases, Okay, 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:48.600 but that's the way they had it, and so that's 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:51.960 why he didn't make the final fifteen the other six years. 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:56.080 Let me run down twenty seventeen, the safety that got 0:23:56.160 --> 0:24:01.000 voted in was Kenny easily. Twenty eighteen played seven He 0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:04.720
