00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: the media is not on the field, and we're not

8
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: going live from the field. We have blocking dummies on

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: the field and they're gonna be outdoors today. And finally,

10
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,280

Speaker 1: field is over as of this morning, and this is

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,600

00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: away from finally playing a game. Your five day NFL

14
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: weekend starts tonight with an epic matchup San Francisco forty

15
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: nine Ers and the Oakland Raiders. At least both teams

16
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: don't have to travel very far. That's exactly right. Did

17
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: you hear who San Francisco might be starting at quarterback tonight?

18
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: You have any idea? Now, they're very educated people here, Okay,

19
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: you understand. I think feel like that. I don't know

20
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: that we know all the quarterbacks on all the teams

21
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: in the league, right, what's wrong with Bethard? Bethard's got

22
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: a shoulder. Yeah, okay, so I don't know who the

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: third quarolos out. I don't know who the third flows out.

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: Did they get somebody off the street? They got someone

25
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: off their practice squad who is actually Gino Kramarzi, who's

26
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: actually been with the team just as long as C. J.

27
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Bethard has been with the team, which isn't all that long.

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: But he was signed out of the same draft. Did

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: they trade for law Lada Kyle la Letta? He's got

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: his own issues in New York. They did sign Tom Savage,

31
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: but he's not the guy, and then they released him

32
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: on the Saturday before a game. But anyway, too much pride.

33
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: He's out of Southern Miss. So Joe Trehan from Dallas

34
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Cowboy Joe is Nick Mullins. Nick Mullins, who are you? Yeah?

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Exactly good question. Garrison asked the question, who are you?

36
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I looked at from Southern miss. I look at three

37
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: hundred players. I think I've seen Nick Mullins play. I

38
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: don't think I've evaluated Nick Mullins. So I've watched several

39
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: you know whose records he broke it Southern Miss Oh

40
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: Brett and Austin Davis. Austin Davis as well. There you go.

41
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: All right, so we're talking. You know, I probably will

42
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: I need to make different plans for tonight, I think. No,

43
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I still I like watching. You can work now, you

44
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: can do something while you're watching. Yeah, it's just it's wallpaper. Yeah,

45
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, Troy, he's saying about getting this colum in

46
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: early on a Friday for eight pm. That'd be awesome

47
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: for me or Kurt or whoever has to read it.

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Say with Mick shots too, hurry up. Locker room didn't

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: open until four thirty. I know there was news I

50
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: got you. It was. It was insightful too, it was

51
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: that's what we're going to get to. First off. Oh well,

52
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: first off, I had the Halloween go for. Everybody didn't

53
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: hand out one bit of candy. And it wasn't the purpose.

54
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't a purpose. Light on. Oh no, Yeah, I

55
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: just live in a neighborhood with a bunch of old folks.

56
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: That's the way it is. And so I'm okay with that.

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: If everybody doesn't want to come around and get candy.

58
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I can't really see you being

59
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: the guy. Hey, what's uh? No, I like to see

60
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: the costumes? Yeah, I would. I like to see, you know,

61
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: but I'm not. Oh and you know, Oh that's nice.

62
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh what are you? Oh? You know, I'd asked the

63
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: silly questions, but I justns passed it, so then it's

64
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: passed it. Yeah, he went to a party. I didn't

65
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: have to give him a ride home, which was a

66
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: good thing for me. Yeah. So I'm worried about driving

67
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: around home Halloween night. Yeah, it's kind of scary of

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: those kids, you know, they kind of darted in between

69
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: cars and stuff. Sure, be careful out there. What'd you do? Bill?

70
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: We uh we ten kids? We were at Cowboys Club

71
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: right here at the Star and the Legend show. You

72
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: guys didn't do that all night? Well then I went

73
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: to work. Oh then you had to go to work

74
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: after that? Well, first off, first off, I spent two

75
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: hours in twenty minutes in traffic going from Fort Worth

76
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Peer to Frisco to host the show, and then blame

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: that on Vicky. Yeah, and I just walked upstairs. Yeah,

78
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: I know, he went thirty seconds to the Cowboys Club

79
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: and he had a great show with Drew Pearson. Of

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: course you can't. You can't screw that up. No ruse

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: on the show, he'll talk the whole time. He just

82
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: kind of sit there and sip water. And there was

83
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: no one up there dressed for Halloween. No, there wasn't.

84
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: You know. It's kind of all professional old people. That's

85
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: Cowboys Club clientele. They had their party on Friday, and

86
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: I heard it was a pretty good party. I bet

87
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: it was. But yeah, I guess we didn't get the

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: vents from Halloween. You knew it was kind of a

89
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: no show, yea. And how about you, Rob, Happy birthday mom.

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Her birthday is on Halloween, so every year it used

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: to be a trigger treating thing. Now it's just let's

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: just get away. Let's go get something to eat, turn

93
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: the light off, and yes, go get dessert. Some out

94
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: there on time. No thanks to you, It's okay. Did

95
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: you apologize for me? I didn't. I will though you

96
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: were supposed to tell your mom it was my fault.

97
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: You had to use had to stay five more. That's

98
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: an excuse. We all use a mixture that creative genius

99
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, try. You can't just knock it out. It's

100
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: got to take time and the knock to edit that,

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, like a bottle of one. Probably only took

102
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: me an hour to do it. Half hour before, half

103
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: hour after. It wasn't It wasn't insightful. Locker room. I wish.

104
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: I wish folks can hear Mickey type. It's the greatest thing.

105
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: You have a typewriter. It might as well be the

106
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: I have a keyboard because I used to wear out

107
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: the do you hunt and peck you? No? But it is.

108
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: It is with some violence. It's like Randy Macho man

109
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: savage op rope, just banging the elbow. I bet none

110
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: of you had to really type on a typewriter. That's

111
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: how I. I typed on a typewriter. I used to

112
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: write the Jones. You did not. I bet it was

113
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: an electric one. No, I have a man I still

114
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: have a manual typewriter. I wrote I wrote a one

115
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: time in my life? Are you aware how get off

116
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: the lawn? That sounds? What's that? You guys didn't learn

117
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: how to type on a typewriter? Like oh, back in

118
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: the old days, that was better stuff to carry a

119
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: film project scouting. You had to push the keys down,

120
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: you didn't just call it move your hand there. And

121
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: then typing class. I was the worst in typing class.

122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize how cool, how cool it should

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: have been, because I did it. My mother made me

124
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: go to summer school, and you know, back then, the

125
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: stigma of summer school. You're a big video. Yeah, and

126
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: so she was tired of having to get a type

127
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: my stuff because people couldn't read what I wrote. That's

128
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: another whole thing. And so I get in there and

129
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: there's there. It's a class of maybe twenty five and

130
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: I bet twenty three of them were female. And I

131
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: was like, oh this what am I doing it? Yeah?

132
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: You know this was that's where it all started. Huh Yeah, Actually,

133
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: you know what, it's pretty funny. I made a friend

134
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: in that Yeah, yes, it's going up. Made a friend

135
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: in that class. Uh So it was before my freshman

136
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: year in high school. And we are still friends today.

137
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: So that's almost yeah, I hate to say almost fifty years. Yeah,

Speaker 1: before audio tape, before tape recordings, what you do have

153
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: your notes? You have to keep up man a long

154
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: time newspaperman. Right there, though, Rob, do you have your

155
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: recorder in the locker room? Just stop piling on Mickey.

156
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: Now we can we go. I don't show the Lockerrooe

157
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: minutes left locker room yesterday. Offensive line to the Hey,

158
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: they all addressed the elephant in the room, Uh, you know,

159
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: firing and Mark Colombo coming in and Mickey saw different

160
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: interpretations of that. No, they accurate interpretation. Okay, well there

161
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: were different interpretations though there were Zack Martin, Look, he said,

162
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: this is not a one man blame game. Okay, we

163
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: have to play better. We're not playing up to our standard. Okay. Um.

164
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith spoke about it. Lyle Collins spoke about it.

165
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: I think the general feeling is Mark Colombo. They're comfortable

166
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: with him. He's a former player, he's not far removed

167
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: from being a player. Sure, but they have to do

168
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: a better job. And I thought the interesting question for

169
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Zach was, all right, do you what do you do?

170
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Do you scrap these new techniques that Alexander was teaching

171
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: you guys? He said, really, I don't think we can

172
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: do that completely. I mean, we'll try to integrate some

173
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: of our old stuff, but mid season, especially for younger guys,

174
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna be to do. I ain't there. I think

175
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: there was some absolute That sentence is gonna sound terrible,

176
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: but I think that's the truth. I think there's some

177
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: guys that were glad to see this happen, you know,

178
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to put words in guys mouths

179
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: or try to, but you look at some of the

180
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: things that those guys. I mean, we're talking about guys

181
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: that were all pros and Pro Bowl players, and you're

182
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: right tackle wasn't that guy. And we all talked about this.

183
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: This is no secret that when there's people that said

184
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: that that right tackle is going to struggle with this change,

185
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: and he struggled, and I think there's I think he's

186
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: the one. He has to be the happiest of them

187
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: that Okay, you know, Mark, help me, help me get

188
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: back to what we were doing last year. Help me

189
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: get back with my feet, my punch, my hands, my balance.

190
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of things that he that

191
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Mark can go back and say, Okay, remember when we

192
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: did this, Remember when we did this. I mean, the

193
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: familiarity that he has with that player, I think will

194
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: help that player. But I think Tyrn Smith, I mean

195
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: I applaud him for being being honest about it. Yeah,

196
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: let's get to the elephant and the real I was

197
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: gonna let you handle the different interpretation. It wasn't a

198
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: different it was an accurate interpretation. Because some money asked

199
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith, who rarely talks, I think it kind of

200
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: got forced into got forced. But they asked him if

201
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: he was if he felt or if they felt responsible

202
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: for Paul Alexander getting fired, like it was their fault,

203
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: and he said, no, not at all. It's something that happens,

204
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: and it's really nobody's fault. No one is really in

205
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: control of something like that. We don't really pay too

206
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: much attention to it and just focus on what we

207
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: can control. Now, is that being irresponsible or is he

208
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: telling you what they thought of Paul Alexander? Look, yeah, please, no,

209
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: not at all. It's something that happens, and it's really

210
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: nobody's fault. No one is in control of something like that. Yeah,

211
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, that's what he said, and he never talks, right,

212
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: So well, Yeah, if you have a different interpretation, have

213
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: at it. I didn't. I'm multiple handle this in the break.

214
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,479
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not saying that you had a different interpretation.

215
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying that there were kind of different ways of

216
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: the questions being answered. They all got asked the same thing,

217
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: he answered it a little differently. Yeah, it's not being

218
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: so sensitive. He was just being He just wouldn't being

219
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: nice like everybody else, right, I guess. I mean they

220
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: all kind of said, what you're supposed to ask you

221
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: a question? Which one did you respect the most the

222
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: answers you got, Which one did the best to help

223
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: you do your job? I think Zach, they all answered

224
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: the questions fine. I think Zach though, as the offensive

225
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: captains standing up and saying we have to play better,

226
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: that there's no question of that. To me. That's that's

227
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: a captain standing up and saying like it's on us

228
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: as much as it is the coaches, and and when

229
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: management makes a decision for an offensive line that is

230
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: considered the strength of the team, it's got to fall

231
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: on us to some degree. So I'd say, Zach Martin

232
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: m then we will agree to disagree on that. I

233
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: tend to you know me, and agree with Mickey. That's

234
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: like oil and water. As crazy as Mickey sounds, I

235
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: have to agree with him. Thank you very much. Brian

236
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: brought us so. I didn't like the bill. No that

237
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I to me, I I

238
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: think that the fact the matter is, yeah, they have

239
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: to play better. But there were some clearly some issues

240
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: there there were. You know, I'm not saying anybody wrong,

241
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, I'm on everybody. Doesn't it

242
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: sure does at some point, Sure it does. But it

243
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: also fall it also, you know, hey, it falls on

244
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: the general manager and the coaching staff are hiring the guy. Yeah,

245
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: I know, because if you're if you're trying to bring

246
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: a guy in here that's gonna try and change everything

247
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: that everybody, everything that they've done, shame on you. You know, hey,

248
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: it starts at the top two though, But I applaud

249
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith for saying that though you know, it's a

250
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: bad fit. Obviously eight weeks in, you know, they got

251
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: rid of this guy. What's the biggest difference technique wise

252
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: between the way Paul Alexander coached the offensive lineman and

253
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: the let's say, the Hudson Howk technique, Like let's like Bill,

254
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: Let's let's push something aside here real quick. Okay, this

255
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: is Mark Colombo's room, right, Let's not talk about Hudson HOWK.

256
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, let's talk about Hudson how the legendary coach

257
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: and what he was. Hudson HOWK is here to observe

258
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: and to help. This is Mark Colombo's room. This is

259
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: this is let's every I think there's a lot of

260
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: people out there like, oh, they're gonna go back to

261
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: what they did at the Super Bowl no, no, no,

262
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: this is Hudson Howk is just here to kind of

263
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: make sure that Mark Colombo is a sounding board guy.

264
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: Do you think what's the difference. Okay, now I'll get

265
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: to I'm sorry about I just didn't mean to lecture

266
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: you're there, but I know there's a lot of people

267
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: out there are Hudson how No, no, this is Mark

268
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: Colombo's gig. Now, this is his gig. Either this team's

269
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: either this offensive line is going to get better or

270
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: it's not right. And so the difference, though, I think

271
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: what you're gonna see is I just think an overall technique.

272
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: Overall technique, and mainly as in past protection, we've talked

273
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: about the high hand low hand. We've talked about okay,

274
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: how do you place your feet? How do you say

275
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: when you watch the Cowboys? When you watch the Cowboys play.

276
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: Previously it's been about punch, and it's been about knee bend.

277
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be about it's about inside hands and sitting

278
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: down on your guy. You know, when you play high

279
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: hand low hand, you're looking for control. The other way

280
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: to play this is you're trying to control the guy

281
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: by getting to him and getting your hands on him,

282
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: not just kind of pushing him past and holding him

283
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: in place. That's not gonna be that. It's gonna be.

284
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: This new way, I think is more about physical lady

285
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: than it is about hand placement. This is about punching him,

286
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: holding him and sitting down on him and being that

287
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: that type of a player. So Nate Newton as a

288
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: casual observer, I guess Drew Drew Pearson. He pointed it

289
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: out last night. He was talking about talking to Harvey

290
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: Martin and asking Harvey, what do you like or what

291
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: do you hate of an opposing offensive lineman, And he said,

292
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: I hate when they're aggressive at me, when they're coming

293
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: at me. I'd rather them trying to catch me because

294
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: I can beat him if they're catching. And I think

295
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Nate pointing and Nate Newton was on Cowboys Insider, which

296
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: you might be able to find on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

297
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: If not, it's on Fox Sports Southwest. He was pointing

298
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: out the difference and he was great and described and

299
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: he was talking. He basically said, it's a difference between

300
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: catching and punching, right, and the Paul Alexander technique is

301
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: to catch the pass rusher and this is all pass

302
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: protection we're talking about here, catching the pass rusher and

303
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: reacting basically right, well mirror yeah, which and of course

304
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: Nate played for Hudson howk And it's the punch, it's

305
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: being more aggressive, keep them on the line of scrimmage, right, Yeah.

306
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: And Darryl Johnston was there, and Darryl said, well, that

307
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: makes sense when they're having difficulties in handling stunts and

308
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: Swiss And so when you're playing a technique where you

309
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: are basically in retreat mode as as opposed to proactive, right,

310
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: and that's going to you're going to be imbalanced on

311
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: your on your offensive line asgar as handling twists and

312
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: stunts and so forth, and you're going to have difficulties there.

313
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: And so that explains a lot of that. Now, the

314
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: question is, all right, obviously, with any offensive lineman, you're

315
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: practicing your technique on a daily basis, and so if

316
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: you're if you're switching back to the other technique, how

317
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: does that affect Monday's game? I mean, how quickly can

318
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: you go back to the other technique. There's only one

319
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: guy that's a rookie out perfected, but yeah, there's only

320
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: one guy that left guard he's the only guy that's like, okay,

321
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: but but he's also played at a high level collegiately.

322
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like he's coming from Mama Thur,

323
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: you know, Hobart College or someplace like that. This guy's

324
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: played it. You know, he he understands that. Okay, I've

325
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: got to get my hands on these guys, especially him,

326
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: when you don't play with power and you're trying to

327
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: catch people all day and ain't a good recipe. Right there,

328
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: they're getting the first Yeah. Yeah, he's he's trying to

329
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: place his hands when he's not strong to begin with.

330
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: He end up on his butt. Yeah. Give me, give

331
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: me a guy, get you know what, Paul Alexander Ay

332
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: twenty four years, great career, Nice job. You're a bad

333
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: fit here. You were a bad fit here. You're not this.

334
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: This to me is this offensive line is based on power.

335
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: It's based on ability to get athletes with power. And

336
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: if you take the ability to use their power away

337
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: from them the way they are, you got no shot.

338
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: You remember, no shot? You remember what Nate pointed out

339
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: to us last year. With um Layle Collins moving to

340
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: right tackle for Hatton, played there since twenty fourteen, and

341
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: Nate was the first one to realize this guy's left handed. Yeah,

342
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: and he's trying to watch and he can't. He's got

343
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: to punch with his right hand. He keeps his left. Yeah.

344
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: And so now you're probably not punching anymore. You're you're catching.

345
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: And after you know, he kind of got it those

346
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: last six eight games of the season making that transition

347
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: with the left hand to the right hand, and they

348
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: were punching. Well, there wasn't a lot of punching going on.

349
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: How many times did we see Lyle Collins on the

350
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: holding penalties where it's he looks just out of whack,

351
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, his hands are all messed up. I must

352
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: used a bad word there, sorry, but you know he

353
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, and he was off balance, off balance? I mean, yeah,

354
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: this to me. You watched the tape and we all

355
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: watched the games. We watched the games. You're saying, what's

356
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: the problem, and you think kind of his technique's bad?

357
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: All right, here's my question. And I agree it was

358
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: a bad fit, no doubt about it. That's why you're

359
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: not going to be as evil as me. It's why

360
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: they made the move. But as a former offensive lineman,

361
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: do you snap your fingers and say, because muscle memory

362
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: kicks in at some point, right, I've been doing this

363
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: for how many months? And then you just switch back

364
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: to doing what you used to do. Alexander in that

365
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: interview said he's got some guys trying it and some

366
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: guy's not. If I'm not mistaken about that, ye, yeah.

367
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: What happens you go into survival mode when things aren't working?

368
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: What do you do? I think he used this example

369
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: the other day. I guess maybe not here Tim Tebow.

370
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: They could teach him to throw the football all day,

371
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: but what happens when he gets into a game he

372
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: goes back to what revert back? That goes back to

373
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: your muscle memory. Tyrn Smith, Hey, I want you to

374
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: punch the hell out of Casey this week. I want

375
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: you to sit him on the line and punch him

376
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: when he comes your direction. And when you pass that

377
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: twist stunt over to Connor Williams, I want you to

378
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: take your two hands and shove him as hard as

379
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: you can into Connor william And then when that looper

380
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: comes around, I want you to hit that guy right

381
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: in the chest with your right hand. Okay, don't catch him,

382
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: hit him as hard as you can with your right hand.

383
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith will remember that, he'll remember that seeing the

384
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: other thing. And I don't think it was all only

385
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: about technique. I think it was just the room. It

386
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: was a bad fit in the room. How tight were

387
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: those games. Let's remember how tight they are. They would

388
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: all walk out together to practice the first day of

389
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: training camp. They would walk out single file to practice

390
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: right and their own way. They had their own swagger

391
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, they don't have that anyhow, and they

392
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: were tight. And I don't know, I don't know if

393
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: they didn't let him in or what happened, but there

394
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: was just a disconnect there. And you know, you can

395
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: blame the as Brian said, the head coach for hire

396
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: him or however they decided to come around to make

397
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: that move. But it wasn't working. So give them credit

398
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: for exactly. Let's not keep the exactly I'm just doing something.

399
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: I appreciate you saying that, Mickey, because that's exactly right.

400
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: That's the way it needs to be. You know, if

401
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: someone steps up and says, hey, by the way, this

402
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: receiver by committee not working. Yeah, I'm gonna go help

403
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: you here. Hey, offensive line not playing well? Boy, I've

404
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money on this offensive line highdraft picks.

405
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help you here. Here we go. Somebody told

406
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones that, and in his own eyes, he's looking

407
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: at that offensive line saying something is not right with

408
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: that group. They identified the two areas they felt like

409
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: we're holding them back the most offensively, and did something

410
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: about it in the bye week for different and different ways,

411
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: and we'll see if it works. They went and got

412
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: a guy that can go make plays down the field,

413
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: and then now they got a new voice in the

414
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: room with their most important position, so we'll see if

415
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: it works or a louder voice. I'll tell you this though,

416
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: and I think Mickey will agree with me on this one.

417
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: If the offensive line doesn't play better in the second half,

418
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a whole lot of other changes going on.

419
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't mean to say that in

420
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: a way. I mean just saying, no, the evaluation, the evaluation.

421
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: They need this offensive line to carry this team in

422
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: the second half. They have got to protect better, they've

423
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: got to run the ball better, they've got to be

424
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: more consistent. If this is the change that gets that going,

425
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: I applaud them. I applaud him for making the switch anyway,

426
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: But I'm on say this offensive line, and I think

427
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: he's been saying it. And again he's right on this.

428
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: He's not the only one he's been saying it. But yeah,

429
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: well I mean in a way, but not not in here.

430
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think everybody saw there. They were struggling.

431
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: But the narrative, but the narrative out there has been

432
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: about the receivers more than it is about about the offensive.

433
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: It's been about the quarterback, and it's been about the

434
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: plate caller, and it's been about the head coach. And

435
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: the root of the evil has been right there in

436
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: front of you, and no one wanted to point it

437
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: out because it's too simple. Did you point it out? Yes,

438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: a lot. I just don't scream and yell like he does.

439
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: And now you're screaming yell like this, Yeah, alright, alright

Speaker 1: get into You watch Northwest? What was the what was

511
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: the score last year? I don't remember. I wanted to

512
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: go to a lot of places. We killed him. Oh,

513
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: that was a game had eight thousand yards. No Joe

514
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: Mixon game. That, by the way, there's the rematch of

515
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: that in the NFL this week is Cleveland plays Kansas City.

516
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: That was a sixty six to fifty nine Baker Mayfield

517
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: over Patrick Mahomes game that I guess it wasn't last year.

518
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: It was year before. Yeah, it was crazy two years before, Yeah,

519
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: two years ago. Okay, yeah, in Lubbock last time I played.

520
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Where's the game on Saturday? It's in Lubbock, all right,

521
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: get the tortillas ready. I'm pretty sure the Ou quarterback

522
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: can do what Baker Mayfield did, but I'm not sure

523
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: the tech quarterback can do what Patrick watched that the

524
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: guy played against Iowa stayed. He had a little some

525
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: struggles throwing that ball. Defensive coordinator doing ruffin McNeil, Yes,

526
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: who's had a win going back to Lubbock. Yeah, doing

527
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: much better? Okay, Lincoln Riley who NFL once if he

528
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: would have just made the move back in January, Well,

529
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, they've been a different position right now. See,

530
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't wait seven weeks to make a move. That's right.

531
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to California. I want to go to California.

532
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: Jim is in California and he is first up on

533
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. Hello Jim, Good morning, Bill. Good to have

534
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: you back. Missed you yesterday. Well thank you. I know

535
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: they really floundered yesterday without man water Man. There you go. Hey.

536
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm a Garrett fan. I like what he's done. Player

537
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: acquisitions seem to be a committee decision based on salary

538
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: cap and draft and and what those around you say

539
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: you can do, so you're kind of handcuffs. But coaching decisions,

540
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: it seems to me as a novice observer, are just

541
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: Garrett decisions. And it seems like he got rid of

542
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: a great coach who is doing a good job because

543
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: a personality conflict or something that sounds Yeah, it sounds

544
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: like to me, this is the one decision that can

545
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: fall on him. Could if it goes south the rest

546
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: of the season could in my opinion, is when where

547
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: he could be held accountable job wise. You talk about

548
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: Frank Pollock, you talk about Pollock, I'm talking about Garrett.

549
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, oh yeah, yeah. I

550
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: think Pollock was the guy before Alexander was really good.

551
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he was getting it on, he was getting

552
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: it done, and no one says you have to get

553
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: along personality wise and in the office. I mean, that's

554
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 1: what it's for you. You bounce things off each other

555
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: and you, you know, you bur up on each other

556
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: until you come to a resolution. But the product on

557
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: the field was awesome, and that's a Garrett decision. It

558
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: wasn't awesome the second half of the season. Second half.

559
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: There happened the second half. Yeah, And you can also

560
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: say that the competition was tougher in the second half.

561
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of other variables there, but sure, I

562
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. They didn't play Green Bay or

563
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: the Rams the second half Yeah, good point, Mickey. Look

564
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: at this Taving Austin twenty eight, Cope easily twenty nine,

565
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: Giunte Thompson twenty nine, Transplarens twenty nine. The Cooper trade

566
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: is a youth movement, and that's a great thing. I think,

567
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: along with Gallup and Cedric Wilson, Lanser Noor, there's some

568
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: youth there that's exciting. A question I have for you

569
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: is next year, are we so far under the cap

570
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: that we can secure Jones and Lawrence and others that

571
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: are doing well in their contract here. Thanks for taking

572
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: my call. Yes, get him capologists. Yes, yes, they can. Yeah,

573
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: and you can probably if things go well in nine

574
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: games extend Amari Cooper and lower his cap hit. That

575
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: would be just fourteen million on a straight if you

576
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: think you know. If you don't know, then you absorb it.

577
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, they can do that, and you probably have

578
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: some money to go out and spec. There you go, Bill,

579
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: Can you you allow me the Florida Yes, go for it.

580
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: Could this be without a first round pick and the

581
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: fact that they did use their first round pick to

582
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: get this receiver, which Mickey just talked about. Could we

583
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: see them a little bit of a change not only

584
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: signing their own, but maybe going out and getting another

585
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: free agent guy, um signing somebody. I mean, maybe a

586
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: little bit different philosophy than what we've seen out of

587
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 1: the past. Yeah. What are they under the cap right now?

588
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: A lot? I mean it's it was such a fluid,

589
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: I know, but it was at one point it was

590
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: like eighteen nineteen million bucks. Yeah, so yeah, absolutely, Now

591
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: again dak is eligible for that extension. Sure, I don't

592
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: know what they're going to do there. They have another

593
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: year if they so choose to do that seven million

594
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: according to over the Kip, okay, right now, that's a

595
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: good un you'll carry it further. Yeah, Now, DeMarcus Lawrence

596
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: is going to carry a heavy cap number, whether you know.

597
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna franchise him again. No, well,

598
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be franchise, doesn't does. It's an

599
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: option obviously, and Byron Jones is playing like a number

600
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: one corner, So that's a lot of money to tie up.

601
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's so I'm wrong thinking they might go

602
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: out and get some think I think if there's if,

603
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: if it makes sense, I don't think he just goes

604
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: spending No, no, no, no, Okay, let me let me

605
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: I keep my I keep my dream alive for Earl

606
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: Thomas for a couple of years. Yeah, I'm keeping my

607
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: dream alive for him if it's reasonable, if it's what

608
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: if it turns into an eight million dollar a year thing, Mickey,

609
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: You okay with that eight million eight for him? Yeah?

610
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: Eight or nine million a year for three years? Say,

611
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if he let's see how bad he wants

612
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: to play, keep I keep gona dream of you worried

613
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: the fact that I think it was freaky got hurt? Okay,

614
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: But he's getting close to thirty, right, Yeah, and this

615
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: is like I think he's the one the sec third

616
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: He's like, this is the second or third year and

617
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: not in a row, but in these last I understand, hurt.

618
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: I understand, but I'm gonna I'm gonna, I'm gonna gamble

619
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: on him. The type of player he is. And I

620
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, Mickey. I I it's it's bad

621
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: management on my part, But I'm holding that dream alive

622
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: for for a two three year run. That's what I'm

623
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: holding it for that type of a player. You know,

624
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: I understand signing my own because I want to sign

625
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: my own. But if I could go out and get

626
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: a guy, I mean, I feel like I could go

627
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: out and get is would he be the best position

628
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: fit that you would have tight end? Yeah? But who

629
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: are you gonna Well, I don't know what I know.

630
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: I know what if somebody says I can't pay this

631
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: tight end, I end could be more of your draft

632
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: focus potentially too. That's kind of what I was thinking.

633
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: I was thinking more of a second round And I

634
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: know that the history of the second round tight end

635
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: here is I mean you you weren't. Yeah, you're right

636
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: about that, you know, And if they don't have Witten

637
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 1: taking ninety six percent of the snaps anymore, either, I'm

638
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: hopeful of I'm hopeful of Dalton Schultz, I really am. Yeah,

639
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: for sure, I'm hopeful to him. And Swain has been

640
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: solid when he's been healthy. Um, I just I don't

641
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: know if you'd want to go out and overspend on

642
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: a veteran tight end. Well, the other part of the

643
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: rookie tight end coming in, whether it's as high as

644
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: second round pick, there's a learning curve and you know

645
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: you can expect even like with the Michael gallup this year,

646
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: the first half of the year, it's not going to

647
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: be the same as what the surely the second half

648
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: of the year will be. And so you basically have

649
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: what you have right now unless you're going to get

650
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: a veteran guy in here. As far as a tight

651
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: end position, trying to think, I want to help these

652
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: guys grow, and you know, I'm trying to think, Okay,

653
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: I'd like to pay Byron Jones if I could, I'd

654
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: like to. Yeh. I think that's been I think that's

655
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: one of those things that's kind of been gone in

656
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: a good direction there, you know. And I know you're

657
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay Lawrence. I mean, and those are

658
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: two I guess my point is, yeah, you can. You

659
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: can still have money to spend probably, but those are

660
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: two primo positions that cost a lot of money, right

661
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: if they're gonna get paid like top guys, and you

662
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: know Lawrence is gonna want big time money. Yeah, but

663
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: can you get can you get? You think you can

664
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: get the safety for a deal? So do you look

665
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: at it as a necessity or a luxury? The safe? Yes,

666
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: that's a good question, because I though I'd like to

667
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: have him playing in that secondary. I just I just

668
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: thought I just had a vision to him being back

669
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: there and making plays and creating turnovers and things like that.

670
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: I just, you know, and I was hopeful that, you know,

671
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: they can make the trade. They didn't make the trade,

672
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: it might work out better for him that they didn't

673
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: make the trade. Number Two scoring defense. One thing missing

674
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: is takeaways, right That's the That's the biggest difference between

675
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: them and the Washington Redskins right now. I mean you

676
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: look at you look at the Redskins there right down

677
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: the line of everything about their team, with the exception

678
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: of turnovers as well as they played defensively, They've got

679
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: six takeaways, and it's I think there's like two or

680
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: three teams below them. I'm paying a guy to go

681
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: get me some turnovers. Maybe they can't get turners. Maybe

682
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm dreaming, but I know it's offseason talk, but I'm

683
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: just asking the question, will we see a change in philosophy?

684
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: And the Maidens have thirteen takeaways? Yes, here you go.

685
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: That is the biggest difference between them being five and

686
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: two and you being three and four. That's what it

687
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: is right there. What one takeaway for sure? Yeah, that's right, Yeah,

688
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: the one in the end zone. Okay, the follow him

689
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: there for a second between three and four and four

690
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: and three. Right now, that's right, all right, Let's go

691
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: to Berry in Virginia next up here on Talking Cowboys.

692
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: Hello Berry, Harry, thank you for taking a call um

693
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: comment and question. I listened to you every day. It

694
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: seems like the offensive line, the receivers, and the coaching

695
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: staff take a lot of especially coaching staff take a

696
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: lot of the blame for what's going on with the offense.

697
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: Put the quarterback in there too. That's where I was going. Okay,

698
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: Kie year had a great year. But everything fell into place,

699
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: but they still did not if you looked at every game,

700
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: they didn't throw the ball down the field wheel every

701
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: now and then, who throw one up to Diz and

702
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 1: it worked out. M My question is who who makes

703
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: the decision to jettison Romo? And that this is your

704
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: guy back when he was a rookie. And don't get

705
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: me wrong, he seems like a great guy and he's

706
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: the type guy you could root for. But he holds

707
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: the ball so long. And you don't have to be

708
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: a rocket science to figure this out. If you the

709
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: Cleveland game when they put the rookie in that night,

710
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: they kept talking about the offensive line was so bad.

711
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: But then when they switched Tyrod Taylor and one to

712
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: the other quarterback, he drops back backfoot, hits the ball's gone.

713
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: Then the offensive line is good. Everything is better. And

714
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, how far do you go before you

715
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: say how far do you stick with that? Before do

716
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: you get rid of the coaching staff? The offensive line

717
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: gets old, You're running back gets a little older, and

718
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you say, you know what,

719
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: we don't We don't have a quarterback here that can

720
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: do it. I have a question, though, sir, but when

721
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: when he when he was winning the thirteen games, were

722
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: you just biting your tongue or biting your lip and

723
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: just kind of going with it? I mean, are you

724
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: such a Romo fan that? And I'm I'm asking a

725
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: set of respect. I'm not trying to belittle you or

726
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: anything like that. I'm just I'm asking you. I'm asking

727
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: you in a way of is it always been a

728
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: struggle for you that they never helped Romo in any way?

729
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: Not so much. I mean I always felt like he

730
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: had not only did he not have a lot of help,

731
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: but he had to deal with some whackos on top

732
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: of that. But the point, the point is no, when

733
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: he was winning, I was I was thinking, you know what,

734
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: they struck gold twice, they got the was a free

735
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: agent and this guy in the fourth round, and and

736
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: all NFL teams struggle to find quarterbacks forever. And that's

737
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: what That's what I thought it was. But but watching

738
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: it now, for this is a third year, and like

739
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: I said, maybe something can improve, but he just he

740
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: holds the ball just you know, and it's a it's

741
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: a matter of a half second. It's not like it's

742
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, a minute, it's a half second every play

743
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: that you just got to let it go. The guys

744
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: that the guys that do it well and the guys

745
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: that consistently win, they let it go. Yeah, And I

746
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: just what I'm saying is I you know, I don't

747
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: know if you know or if y'all could even say

748
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: if it was Garrett's choice, you know, they'll go on

749
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: with this quarterback somebody else, And then who holds that

750
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: responsibility down the line? And how do you blame the

751
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: coach and staff for all that you know, the same

752
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: offensive coordinated then as it is now true And I

753
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: watched I watched games, and I get frustrated sometimes on

754
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: what the play calling is. But I think everybody on

755
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: every the roots for any team does at times. Yeah,

756
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: and let me let me point out that quarterback in Cleveland,

757
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: the one, the one that could so quickly pull the trigger.

758
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: He's been sacked twenty times, twenty times five starts, he's

759
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: got six interceptions, He's completed fifty eight percent of his passes,

760
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: and he has a yards per attempt of six point six.

761
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: You don't have an offensive line in front of you,

762
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how quickly all the rookie quarterbacks have

763
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: been exactly. Look, that's another thing. This is not his

764
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: third year either. Yeah, you know, there's a lot to

765
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: go with the I'm not just comparing him directly that

766
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: it was just that one particular game you could just

767
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: sit there and watch when when the other quarterback went

768
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: out of the game he came in. Same guys, Well,

769
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: that's the way he plays, that's his game. My point is,

770
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: and I'm the biggest Baker Mayfield, and there is when

771
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't have an offensive line in front of him,

772
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: he's not going to be effective. And the same thing

773
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: has happened for Dak this year compared to his rookie season,

774
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the same offensive line in front, say

775
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: twenty three sacks, but not this year. Yeah, and no, no, no,

776
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: being respectful of your points that you're making two is

777
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: because I think he got great points on him holding

778
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: the ball and so forth. Yeah, and it's just a

779
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: kind sign of a process. Let's see if, in fact,

780
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: though that the receivers, if they can you know, we've

781
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: asked them to kind of pair some things down. Let's

782
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: see if you could get no, get Gallop going, get

783
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: Hearn's going, you know, get get the new guy going,

784
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, find a way you've got Beasley kind of going,

785
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, And and let's see if the offensive line

786
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: in fact with Mark Colombo will be a little bit different.

787
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: As far as protection, I just think there's some things

788
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: that you know, you're probably not going to be able

789
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: to totally change anticipations and things like that. But hey,

790
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: if you help him, he's proven that he can he

791
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: can win games, so you have to find ways to

792
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: help him. Does his presence reduce the let's factor? Amari

793
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: Cooper's yeah, you hope, Yeah, you hope eight eight eight

870
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,240

874
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: was just the first pace they went down, they scored

875
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and then it was really the end of

876
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,800

00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: Face to face. Us usually do it the day before

910
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: the game. It actually it actually goes from probably twelve

911
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: thirty or one to about three o'clock because the players

912
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 1: come in and and do autographs and they get good players. Yeah.

913
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith has been there, the last couple of Layton,

914
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: Vander esh Tyrone Crawford. Yeah. Wow, man, very good. We

915
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: go in there and we take all the hard, hard

916
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: questions though me and Mickey. Do you interview the players? No, no, no, no, no.

917
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: We all they gotta do is sign okay, yeah. All

918
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: they get to do yeah yeah, and then we do

919
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: it on the road. Also, there's a little meet and

920
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: greet after Jalen Smith signs. And that website again, I'm

921
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: guessing it's Star Sports Tours dot Com. There you go,

922
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: all right, there you go, Bill, good job, wanted to

923
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: make sure that you got it. We gotta get a

924
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: full house nowial sponsor of the team. That's right, all right?

925
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: How much does this Cowboys team miss Jason Witten this year? Here,

926
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: I'll answer that question Monday night when there's no Jeff

927
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: Swain if he's not ready to play. Now. You know,

928
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: by the way, we finally hear from Jason Garrett for

929
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: the first time this week right after talking Cowboys. You know,

930
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: I do think he missed Jason Winton. I do think

931
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: you missed that, that guy with the ability to work

932
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, and I think you miss

933
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: him in those situations where you're trying to convert for

934
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: so many downs you've been bad on third down. Where's

935
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: the play action game? Yeah, but they've had some they've

936
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: had some problems too with some of the penalties and

937
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: setbacks and things like that. They'd probably have hurt them

938
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: in that regard. But if you could get those manageable

939
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: down and distant situations, that number eighty two was one

940
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: of the best, he might not be able. You know,

941
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: the run after catch might not be what it once was.

942
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: You get him down the red zone where he could

943
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: play within eighteen yards. He does a great job of

944
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: finding space. Smart guy knew where how to position himself.

945
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: They haven't had a lot of opportunities down there with that.

946
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: How much I'm trying to think, how much have they

947
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: even thrown to a tight end in the middle of

948
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: the field. A lot of swains has been kind of

949
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: bailout stuff near the sideline. He's donned the little he

950
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: made the one handed catch in Houston. Did he make

951
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: a one handed catch that got a first down? Swam

952
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: caught the ball basically off the ground. Yeah, but yeah,

953
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: it was a great catch. No, No, we just haven't

954
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: seen We haven't seen him attack the middle of the

955
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: field with the tight end. A lot of waggles, boots

956
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: and what was his bread and butter, master of sitting

957
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: down in that zone underneath and finding a soft spot. Yeah,

958
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: but Romo pointed out that they're using Beasley in that

959
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 1: in that role now that he's running that Witten route

960
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: where he can get the release either way, what they've

961
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 1: missed is him getting down the hash down the field

962
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Yeah, that's what they miss

963
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: the seam route. But if you think about it last year,

964
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: probably about this time, it's like, Wow, Whitten's not running

965
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: the way he used to and he's not getting down

966
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: the field, and his average per catch is going down.

967
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: And now when he goes away, it's like, oh gosh,

968
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: how good was he? Same thing with Romo, right, Oh

969
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: how good was he? And went away? And now it's like, well,

970
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: can Romo come back and play? Well. I think it's

971
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: I think it has to do Mickey, and I understand

972
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I think it has to do with

973
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: just getting six seven yards. You know, when they're not

974
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 1: when they haven't been able to run the football, it's

975
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: finding ways to get over. Yeah, just find it. Give me,

976
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: give me six seven yards. I don't need your run

977
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: after catch, I need six or seven yards. Well, how

978
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: much are they releasing the tight end and not keeping

979
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: in to help the offensive line. That is a fair

980
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: point too. It's the run fakes and then throwing to

981
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 1: the tight end where he's wide open. Yeah, that's been missing.

982
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 1: I think you really miss him in the red zone myself, Zach.

983
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right about the same stuff and his

984
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: ability to find space down there when when people when

985
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: other receivers can't find space. Jason Winton, for as slow

986
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: and lumbersome as he was lumbering, he you know, he

987
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: had an ability to kind of an not a guy

988
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: one way, get him off balance and then work to

989
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. And he's been always made

990
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: secure catches. You miss that, You missed somebody that's making

991
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: secure catches to get you six seven, eight yards, but

992
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: also a guy that can play in the red zone

993
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: to get you a secure catch as well. That being said,

994
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: Cole is off to a good start here. I mean,

995
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: if you look at what his numbers are averaging out

996
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,879
Speaker 1: to be, he's on pace to match his career high

997
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: from last year seventy five catches. That's where he's on

998
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: pace for. He's gonna keep going. So the hope is,

999
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, Mary's presence can either free him up more

1000
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: or they can just play off of each other, and

1001
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: you gotta pick your poison a little bit there. It's

1002
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting to hear Witten's comments though about

1003
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense um during the game on Monday night.

1004
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: He felt like that the that the Cowboys won the

1005
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper trade, he feels like that that's gonna help him.

1006
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: I've kind of seen some comments that he's been made,

1007
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: he made about it, so you know he's you know,

1008
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna be I think he's gonna be

1009
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: honest about it, though it'll be it'll be a if

1010
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: he can get a word. Yeah, this is saying LS,

1011
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: you guys talk too much. I don't think that's what

1012
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: he meant. Yeah, but I just feel like though that

1013
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: to me that you know, he'll he'll be honest about

1014
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: the offense, He'll be honest about the assessment. And I

1015
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: think you're going to get a good broadcast too, because

1016
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: he'll be able to identify what the cows if you

1017
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: like Tony Romo and the way he kind of calls

1018
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: plays and goes along that way and kind of tells

1019
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: you what they're looking at. I think Jason Witten will

1020
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: be really good at this as well, for this game.

1021
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of funny. I was reading the

1022
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: Tennessee and this morning and the complaint in Nashville now

1023
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: play that their receiving corps is not very good and

1024
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: why didn't we go and get a wide receiver like

1025
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did and they were there, their comparison was,

1026
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, okay, they gave up a first round pick,

1027
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: but look what they got. Yeah, the t the Titans

1028
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. Look what Houston did. They're in the division.

1029
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 1: Look what they got and the Titans did nothing. There's

1030
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: a wide receiver out there for him if they want him. Yeah, absolutely.

1031
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 1: Does he want to play I don't know, that's the question.

1032
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: Or does he want to play for anybody besides this team? Yeah? Right,

1033
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: that's a fair question. I don't know. For a couple

1034
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: million dollars I go play in Alaska, You know it

1035
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: would behoove him, couldn't you. It would didn't intend to

1036
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: get on desk talk here, but it would behoove him.

1037
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: If he wants to continue his NFL career after this year,

1038
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: it would behoove him to accept whatever offer the next

1039
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: for the next couple of months and swallow his pride

1040
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: and do it. I think Nicky is giving you some

1041
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: great insight, bill Ya. I don't think des Bryant really

1042
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: wants to play, right, I don't think he wants to

1043
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: play for anybody other than the Dallas Cowboys. You know,

1044
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: I think this is this has always been his home.

1045
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: This is the ownership gave him an opportunity when a

1046
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: lot of people remember his seat or his last year

1047
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State didn't even play get yeah, he got

1048
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: drafted off that off three games, like Mickey said, So

1049
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, this ownership has had a lot has covered

1050
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: his back in a lot of different ways off the

1051
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: field on the field. So you know, he has a

1052
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: sense of loyalty. That's the one of the thing about

1053
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: Dez Bryan I think is one of his greatest traits

1054
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: is his loyalty. He really really does. And I think

1055
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: if you asked him right now, he would say, you

1056
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: know what, I wish I was more loyal to Tony

1057
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: Romo when all that was going on, But you know what,

1058
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: he was an incredible player for this franchise. But you know,

1059
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: he's got other things in life. He's looking at and

1060
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: if the fact that he doesn't want to go play

1061
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 1: in Cleveland or New Orleans, or Tennessee or in these

1062
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: other places, I don't blame him at all. I don't

1063
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: blame him. He's you know, hopefully he's doing exactly what

1064
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: he wants to do. All Right, we have a couple

1065
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: of minutes left here on Talking Cowboys. What direction you

1066
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: would you like to go for the final two minutes

1067
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: of this edition of Talking Cowboys? What are we looking

1068
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: for from Jason Garrett in his press conference today? He

1069
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: has not the media has not had an opportunity to

1070
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: ask him about the offensive lying situation his trip to

1071
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. We're got to hit up that again. You

1072
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 1: know what I would be I guarantee you he's gonna

1073
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 1: be asked about it. Yeah, that's a walk off question.

1074
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: To walk off to walk off question, I bet not.

1075
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: I bet I bet something producer, producers to exactly not

1076
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: this one. But okay, I just you know, I think

1077
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of ground to cover. I think

1078
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: he's going to do his best to focus in on

1079
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: talking about the Titans and what they need to do

1080
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: second half of the season. You know, hey, I've got

1081
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: to you know, we've made some changes here. We've got

1082
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: to you know, get guys acclimated. You got to get

1083
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: things going, you know. You know, I think that's what

1084
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: he's really gonna try and focus on. Yeah, but I mean,

1085
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see if there's more insight about Paul Alexander.

1086
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: He's never done this, he's never made a coach and

1087
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: change in the middle of the season, and and you know,

1088
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: how's it going to change? What's gonna be different? We

1089
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: try to speculate it, see if we can get an

1090
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: answer out of it. That's gonna be the heart of it.

1091
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: Is gonna be the firing of Paul Alexander. But he's

1092
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: gonna get well, is it? Then the question will be

1093
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: are you Are you saying then the offensive line was

1094
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 1: the problem? That sure? Yeah, And then he'll say it's

1095
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. And I think it's not

1096
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: wrong by saying that, but certainly the line's part of it.

1097
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: Should got him a head coaching job like they got.

1098
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: John Blake's nicky and I spend a day trying to

1099
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: figure out who the last coach was a gout. Oh yeah,

1100
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: they at the end of the season, John Blake, John Blake,

1101
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: Things turned out well for us. We eventually got Bob

1102
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: Stoops there, and we eventually got Lincoln Riley, and we

1103
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,919
