Speaker 1: studio at Ford Center. At the start in Frisco, Bill Jones,

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Everson Walls, and Mickey Spagnola in some an alarming site

9
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: as I walked into the podcast studio, Mickey Spagnola, because

10
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: there were no football players, no football equipment on the

11
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: practice field here. What are we doing? Are we taking

12
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: the week off? What's going on right there? There are

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: so common It's like, is there the two and three Patriots?

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Don't need to practice? It was raining? Don't say that's bag,

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Someone will take that out. Yeah it was what it

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: was raining here this morning? Well, so do you think

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: it might not rain in Foxborough? What was it? What

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: happened the last time the Cowboys went to New England?

19
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think you want to mess up

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: your practice trying to portray that rain. You can't fool them.

21
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Sun's out if you can believe the weather man, and

22
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: it was supposed to in the weather women. And if

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna believe the weather, how you want to be

24
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: the weather person. It was supposed to keep raining during

25
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: the days. So you can see you don't believe him, right,

26
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: because now the sun's coach out, but it's supposed to

27
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: and even tomorrow, so they may be indoors both days. Okay,

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: in in the Ford Center, So we are practicing. They

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: are proud that I can give you a good practice report.

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: All right, care to hear it? Just let me know

31
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: when you were. It was just about an hour and

32
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: a little over an hour ago. Or practice was open

33
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: for the media to take a look inside Forward Center

34
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: and we can get to that. And there's so much

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: more to get to. We taped the Mike McCarthy show

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: last night. I got some stuff from him to pass

37
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: along as well. And I don't it's just a big week.

38
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: When it's a Patriots, it's always a big week. I

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: don't care what their record is. I do. I have

40
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: to do another interview after the show. Bill let me

41
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: know now so I can get my face on No no,

42
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: you're good. We're good. Good. Yeah, where the Everson Walls

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: Victory Tour continues. Actually, Trey Von Diggs, Actually I saw

44
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: what I saw what was in the background. It was

45
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: the highlight film of Everson Walls interceptions, and I was thinking,

46
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: during our show, instead of showing us, we'll just put

47
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: that on the whole loop. Put it on a loop.

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: Everyone that that's in the Hall of Fame that I

49
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: think doesn't deserve to be there. They usually had a show, right. Um,

50
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you want to compare

51
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: if mix shots can't compare to those shows that they all, Yes,

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: it does because they were like you know, ESPNS and

53
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. That's that's the whole key. Yeah,

54
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: getting into the Hall of Fame, you gotta have some

55
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: some Uh what do you How do you think Lynn

56
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Swan got in so quickly? Oh? How we long? Yeah?

57
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, I got a little bunch of them.

58
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: We can continue tomorrow. We're gonna have a list. Yeah

59
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: I haven't now it's right here, right here, Walls list.

60
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: You got to stay top of mine, all right. So

61
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: you want to go inside practice and tell us what

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: was going on? I will tell you. I think the

63
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: most notable thing was it didn't look like Trayvon Diggs

64
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: was gonna practice. It looks like he's got a sprain

65
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: left ankle so that they felt the retaped them during

66
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: the game, the Giants game, and so at the beginning

67
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: of practice he was working on the resistance chords and

68
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: it didn't look like he was in practice because he

69
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: was in tennis shoes, all right, and I didn't see

70
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: a helmet around right. Um, we'll get that report here.

71
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: And a wide receiver got were hurt were injured on

72
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: that particiar the same place, the same there. Yeah. And

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: so as a matter of fact, when he was doing

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: some of the resistance stuff while he was waiting his

75
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: turn to get on the chords, he was doing his

76
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: little side steps and at one point he took his

77
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: left shoe off. So I'm guessing it's his left hand,

78
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: just you know, just from experience of looking at the

79
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: way you look at it, it's hard to he fell

80
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: on the back of his ankle, but what was stretched

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: was the top of his ankle. Looked like that was,

82
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, really excited because he fell on the back

83
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: of it, and it seemed like that's where the injury

84
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: is probably on the on the top of it, so

85
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: it looked like that he was not going to practice.

86
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: But this is when McCarthy answered the question of the

87
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: press conference. He just thought they would have to see

88
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: a couple of guys what they go through, but he

89
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: didn't think it was anything serious enough to keep them

90
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: out on Sunday. Uh, Zeke started off to practice the

91
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: same way, but he was dressed and ready to go.

92
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: So were not going to be doing this down Bishop

93
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: thing to where he's going to be injured a few games. Yeah,

94
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: that's right, Bill Street. Yeah, uh so so Zeke. But

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: Zeke did it. Uh. And then they had two guys

96
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: that have been on ir with designated to return and

97
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: they started their three week period today, Sean McEwan and

98
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson. They were both out there doing uh uh

99
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: individual drills during the special teams and fundamentals they did

100
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: and then I think that was it for them. But

101
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: at least they getting going. So that's so that's got

102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: a question on that. Yes, since the bye week count

103
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: is one of those three weeks stump him. I don't know,

104
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: because you don't have a full week of practice, so

105
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: I would think it would not count. Yeah, because you're buying.

106
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: You're buying a fourth week here, you get practice, just

107
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: get No, you got to give the guys four consecutive

108
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: days off. So Thursday Thursday. See, you guys didn't have

109
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: a good CBA. You know you did get enough time off.

110
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't enough of us, not loopy, you know, to

111
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: where they say, okay, now we need to change. So

112
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: generally what they'll could do is come in on Monday

113
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: as normal after a game, have Tuesday off, do something

114
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. And generally the way it's worked, at least

115
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: when Jason was here, Wednesday was kind of a young

116
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: guys practice. The guys that don't get to practice that much,

117
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: they would get them out there and go through some

118
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: practice players players, the practice squad guys can go out

119
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: there also. Yeah, um, update on go ahead, Michael Gallop.

120
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: What's going on with him and Gallimore? Uh? Gallimar continues

121
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: to do rehab on the side. So like I said,

122
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's a z elbow. So he's running really well.

123
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: So I think those guys after after after the after

124
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: the bye maybe after the bye man. Yeah, because Gallimore

125
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: had to miss I think he had to did he

126
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: have to miss six games. I can't remember if he

127
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: was in that category. I don't think no, he because

128
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: he was at training camp was Yeah, he wasn't a

129
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: pup guy. That's right about Gallop. Gallop. I still think

130
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: after the bye at the earliest Hill is the pup

131
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Tristan and the Hills the Trump guy, and he had

132
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: to miss six six games, right for six weeks whatever.

133
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm asking about Gallup because as we move on, you know,

134
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: man trade deadline coming up. I wonder if no, no,

135
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, because I do not want that

136
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: to happen. In regards to the trade deadline. Here's the

137
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: way I look at Michael Gallup. You're acquiring him in

138
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: a trade, you know, because you haven't had him, and

139
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: so about the trade deadline, you're getting him back, and

140
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: so it's as if you just picked him up from

141
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: another team. I mean, as a player, if I'm if

142
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: I'm him, I'm a little nervous, you know. I mean

143
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: we're playing well, of course, but I'm not a part

144
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: of it. I'm a little anxious. Yeah, I see Cedric

145
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: Wilson getting off. Of course you al would have knew

146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,359
Speaker 1: one more injury and then come talk to me. The Cowboys.

147
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys were one and four right now instead

148
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: of four and one, and if I was Michael Gallup,

149
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: I'd be nervous, you know. And the other thing that

150
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: stood out in practice when they were doing the offensive

151
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: linemen were doing their little drills off on the side.

152
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask Verson if he ever saw

153
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: Ernie Stottner running a drill with a helmet on. No,

154
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: never happened. I'm not sure that he played. He didn't.

155
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: I didn't play in his Pro Football Hall of Fame

156
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: career with a helmon onze right, he probably he had leather. Well,

157
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: dan Quinn was out there and doing the drill and

158
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: he had a helmet on, by the way, and it

159
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: wasn't like they were button heads or anything, but he

160
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: was doing the uh oh, he had the pads in

161
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: his hand and they're coming by knocking them down, and

162
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: but he had the helmet on. That only happens with

163
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: winning teams. Yeah, right, you do stuff like that. If

164
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: you out there, you would like to say you wanted four.

165
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: And then the couch coaches out there with his helming on.

166
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: Coach Hey man quis going them out. So that's the

167
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: highlights of the practice that I think we got to see. Okay,

168
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: very good. Um. You know the Mike McCarthy was talking

169
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: last night in between taping the show that he breaks

170
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: down this season into basically quadrants. Okay, where we're reaching

171
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: the end of the first quadrant here uh where? When

172
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: you look at the Cowboys schedule because of the bye

173
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: week next week, so you're you got six weeks, you

174
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: got eighteen weeks basically, but you're I mean, I think

175
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: you're the last quadrant would be your playoffs. Oh so

176
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: so you got the six Now he didn't say that,

177
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: but I just read into it every five and the

178
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: way the Cowboys schedule breaks down, the way he's got

179
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: it marked off is Okay, we're ending the first quarter

180
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: here at with this game because of the bye week,

181
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: and then you're going through November, which is a five

182
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: week and once as the way the Cowboys schedule lines up,

183
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: you got Thanksgiving and then the following Thursday at New Orleans.

184
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: So that's a five game stretch, right, We're for your

185
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: second quarter and then you're take it from there to

186
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Is your third quarter and

187
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: then your fourth quarter. Yeah, the NFL just just trans

188
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: transition into the dog days of winter. Yes, it is

189
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: this season after Christmas, after Thanksgiving. Think about after Thanksgiving.

190
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: We always had this stretch that we had to pay

191
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: attention to. Now you got a couple of more weeks

192
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: to deal with. That's the long days of winter. No kidding,

193
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: I mean it. I mean seriously, I've not had to

194
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: schedule in front of me. I'm about to. But when

195
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: you're looking at after Thanksgiving, this team has six games,

196
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: three of which are in a row on the road.

197
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: Uh huh. So after Thanksgiving you've got because the final

198
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: regular season game this year is on January ninth, right,

199
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: And so you're taking it all the way to then,

200
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: and man and so I said, yeah, from a mental standpoint,

201
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's only you have to break it up

202
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: just to otherwise it's too consuming. And as he said,

203
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: he adds another quadrants. He said, he looks at it

204
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: more from the physical standpoint for the team, and what

205
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: he will do as they get into December, he'll shorten

206
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: practice and make it feel like it's not as as

207
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: burden as long as it is. Actually he's shortened today, Yeah,

208
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: because they usually started eleven twenty or eleven forty, I guess,

209
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: And they started it, and maybe that's also because he's

210
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: the end of this first quadrant and you can, I mean,

211
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: I guess you can. Also you had the preseason Quadrant two,

212
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: which last you know, from July twentieth until thoughts really played.

213
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: That's right, but I mean you're engaged in stuff. So

214
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: and speaking of having to play seventeen games, this is

215
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: the seventeenth game this week, basically the extra that's right,

216
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: that's right in New England. Okay, yeah, that's the added

217
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: game to It's what they did was they added a

218
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: cross non conferency, a crossover game, and just where they

219
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: sat in the standings last year, they did NFC East

220
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: is twentying NFC East team in the Patriots, Yeah, playing

221
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: AFC's teams, and the Patriots wound up in the same

222
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: spot in the standings as the Cowboys did last year.

223
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: And then one other note on practice, So we now

224
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: know that Leale Collins will miss the fifth game with

225
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: the ruling that came down, but he has been eligible

226
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: to be in the building and work on his conditioning.

227
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: So he's been doing that I think a little bit

228
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: last week and some and he'll continue this week and

229
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: then he'll get the buy and a week of practice

230
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: before the next game. So I hope he comes bag mad.

231
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: He should he should be, He'll be four hundred and

232
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars mad. Yeah, absolutely, because I think it

233
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: comes back so angry. He just takes it out on

234
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: the opposition. And by the way, and I know there's

235
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: a lot of talk out there talk radio, well, why

236
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: would they mess with the continuity on the offensive line?

237
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: Just lets steal play because he's playing so well. And

238
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: it's like, look, Lele Collins. The last time we saw

239
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: him play a season, he had a Pro Bowl season,

240
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: just didn't get voted into it, and he was on

241
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: the verge the next year. Unfortunately the next year got

242
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: wiped out by the hip injury. And you saw off

243
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: looking at what he did this year, right, So let's

244
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: not minimize this guy's talent and saying, oh no, let's

245
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: just go with steal because the Cowboys have done a

246
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: very good job. Steel is improved in his in his

247
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: run blocking, pass blocking. He's gotten helped. They've used those

248
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: two tight ends and they're not always on his side.

249
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: They could be on the other side. But if they're

250
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: on the other side, the defense has got a shift right,

251
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: and so he doesn't have to worry about Blitzer's or

252
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, two guys coming at him. Let's not undersell

253
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Lele Collins and what he can do once he's on

254
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: the field. I think he's been playing at a Pro

255
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: Bowl level once again until this thiscause. The way he

256
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: was playing against Tampa, keeping that off, that defensive line out,

257
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: allowing Dad to throw for five hundred jars or whatever

258
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: he threw for that particul the game, no well, and

259
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: when you look at the running run blocking, no one

260
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: was really successful in that regard. So yeah, that's a

261
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: wash as far as I'm concerned. But now he's been

262
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: playing very well so and that ruling reminds me of

263
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: a saying Tech Shram had long time ago. I remember

264
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: talking to him about a court case, right, and he said,

265
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes a judge should do what's right, not

266
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: what's legal. And that's what happened in this game. He

267
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: did what was legal. He didn't feel like the judge

268
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: basically scolded the NFL from how they conducted this whole thing.

269
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: But he said, because of the CBA and you agreed

270
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: to have an arbitrator, I can't overrule the arbitrary, struck

271
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: with the letter of the law, right, but from a league,

272
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: from a right and wrong. It was like, no, the

273
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: NFL violated what they should have been doing in this case,

274
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: but I can't overrule the arbitrator. So he'll miss his

275
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: fifth game, get his game fine, and then be ready

276
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: to come back nixt with the next game then against

277
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: at Minnesota. And you know how I look at that

278
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: gowboys just acquired Lyle Collins in the trash. I thought

279
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: you were going to say, and there's another reason why

280
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: I got out of loss. That too, that too, Texas, Texas.

281
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: Other thing was about court cases. They were talking about

282
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: something going to court, and he was like, no, you

283
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: want to get it settled, don't go to court. And

284
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: it's like, well, why wouldn't you got to court? Go

285
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: to court? And he goes, let me tell you. He goes,

286
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: when they tell you that you're being tried or you're

287
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: being judged by jury of your peers, he goes, they

288
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: ain't your peers. That's good. Yeah, black folks know that

289
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: we've been on that long time. All right, we're gonna

290
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: continue with more mix shots. And I got a mix

291
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: shot for you too, Ready to go all right. I

292
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear this mix shot when we come

00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: back on me shots Honey, big news. Gary? Are you okay? Oh?

Speaker 1: shot of this day. Yes, sold on. Did you know

344
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick perfect had nineteen consecutive winning seasons until

345
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: last year and he's second all time too, Tom Tom

346
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: Landry with twenty And I also another note that Bill

347
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: Belichick has won the most playoff games in NFL history

348
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: with thirty one and in second place with twenty. There

349
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: you go, Bill, Bill was going to open up his

350
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: book to he was gonna double confirm. I. I was

351
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: looking back at that seventy four season to make it sure.

352
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: The Cowboys were eight and six and seventy four that

353
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: was the year, the one year in that twenty years

354
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they had a winning season, that's right, absolutely,

355
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: And I was part of eighty four. That was my

356
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: first season. Yeah, that's why I didn't like it, was mickey. Yeah,

357
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we look around. There's this little

358
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: elf walking around bad looking. As a matter of fact,

359
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: the game that decided it was at Miami. Remember Dolphins

360
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: came from behind when To be honest, that game really

361
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: didn't decide it, right, we knew that the game started. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

362
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: that just kind of they were just having I was

363
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: standing we played as if we still had a chance. Yeah,

364
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: I was standing in behind the end zone when Clayton

365
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: was a Clayton that caught the touchdown. That's the second

366
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: test down. He was to be a very good friend

367
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: of mine. So I hear about this all the time,

368
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: just seconded or second just like he hears even though

369
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the other side about your two interceptions.

370
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: And yeah he wasn't. Yes, that's correct, that's when they

371
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: had just slow white wide receivers. But they still ran

372
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: by me. So I as you see, Cephalo was no Jimmy.

373
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: These accomplishments this year by certain people are bringing up

374
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: historical markers for the Dallas Cowboys. There you go, that's

375
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: just lets you know, we are a historical organization. So

376
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: you look at the Patriots, what they have done over

377
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: a two decade period, what the Cowboys did over a

378
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: two decade period, I would say both of them are

379
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. Yeah, and the Cowboys was actually two and

380
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: a half decades. Right. Well, I guess if you just

381
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 1: look at twenty years from sixty five to eighty five, right,

382
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: and guests who played for both of them, he's taken credits. Yes,

383
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: that's hey, that's right, I'll take credit. That's correct. Okay.

384
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: Similarities between coach Landry and coach Belichick, that's easy. Intellect,

385
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: just straight up intellect. And with that intellect brought a

386
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: lot of hard work on themselves. They didn't need anyone

387
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: to push them. I don't know who taught Tom Landry,

388
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: you know his skills as a coach. Of course, he

389
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: was a fighter pilot. I believe in the in the

390
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: Air Force, but when it came to Belichick, his father

391
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: was an amazing coach, so Bill was always there with him,

392
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: so you just kind of knew where that was going.

393
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: He was wasn't like he was some great player. I

394
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: don't think he even tried to play sports, but he's

395
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: always been around it, and I admired their command of

396
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: all facets of the game. And that's why I'm always

397
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: talking about how that can help. I mean, that's just

398
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: what I was taught by great coaches. There is no

399
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: just offense defense. There is no just a quarterback versus

400
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, a defensive back. This entire team, whoever you

401
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: play on. Any successful team I've been on, it's always

402
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: been because we were strong at those three areas of

403
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: the ball game. And that's why they have defense, offense,

404
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: and the kicking game because they all matter. You know. Um,

405
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting because you think of most coaches, most head coaches,

406
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: they have either a background and eat on either the

407
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball or the offensive side of

408
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: the ball. Okay, he's an offensive coach. He's a defensive coach.

409
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: And even though uh Landry was a defensive player or whatever,

410
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: I mean, his innovation thirty seven career picks or something

411
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: like that, by the way, and you can look up

412
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: his where going now. He had six picks six in

413
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: a row in nineteen fifty. It was either fifty one

414
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: or fifth consecutive game. It was the first six in

415
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: a row. Pro Football Reference has games. If you'll look

416
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: at his game his entire every day, Tom had six

417
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: picks with the Giant. Hey, that's what I had with

418
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: the Giant six six. It was either fifty one or

419
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: fifty two, I think, man, And when you look at

420
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: Tom's career, I mean, on a personal level, DBS, I

421
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: think we were his least favorite position. You know. He

422
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: just never really showed us much love. He didn't really.

423
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: I know he appreciate what we did, but it was

424
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: never a point of a conversation. And when the conversation

425
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: came up, he was shooting down. I guess he was

426
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: just so afraid for us, you know. And when you

427
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: look at one of the other things that he did,

428
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: he invented the defense. Yeah, he invented the flex defense. Now,

429
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can attribute the Amba defense

430
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: to Bill Belichick, but you can definitely attribute to flex

431
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: to Tom Langeman because that's straight up. He authored that

432
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: entire defense for stopping the great Jim Brown. So I

433
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 1: believe Tom was a player coach when he designed it

434
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: because his uh he was. He was trying to help

435
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: out the middle linebacker. Who was the middle Huff, Sam

436
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: sam Huff. Yeah, Sam Huff was having problems with Jim Brown,

437
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: and Tom said, don't well, I'll take care of it.

438
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: And he designed the defense so that Sam Huff could

439
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: always be there to meet Jim Brown in the whole

440
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: wherever he went down the line. How's your research? Landry

441
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: had thirty two interceptions in his career, right, thirty one

442
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants and one with the New

443
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: York Yankees. Wow, love it this first year and that

444
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: was the first first New York Yankees, same team. I

445
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: mean the Yankees must have folded or something. They ended

446
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: up coming here, that's right, right, like fifty football yams. Yes,

447
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: for one year. I don't even think they finished the year.

448
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: I think they got bought out and they moved back East. Okay,

449
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: someone and there's people looking it up right now, but

450
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: on Pro Football in Pro Football Reference the night I

451
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: just clicked on on Landry's bio. The nineteen forty nine

452
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. And usually at the top it has

453
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: previous season and next season. There's not a next season. Yes,

454
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: the last year, Yeah they were done. Yeah. So uh

455
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: and and that was the aa FC. Oh okay, so

456
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: there's the difference. Yeah, so did you find his six

457
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: straight interceptions yet so secutive games? For I thought, that's

458
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: what I read, But then that's first and what they're

459
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: and what they're quoting now is since the merger in

460
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: nineteen two. Okay, okay, that's why Don Bishop doesn't okay

461
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: as much love deserve, thank you, thank you, I got

462
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: he got all the love he ever deserved on our

463
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: show the other day of Roses and Flowers can well,

464
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: unfortunately the game logs are sketchy. Yeah, all right, don't

465
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: worry about And also he was a punter. Yes, so

466
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: that's something else that you can attribute to his resume

467
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: and and attribute to his knowledge of special teams. Maybe

468
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: that's why he loved Danny White. Well, that could be

469
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: because I tell you, people talk about Danny's a quarterback.

470
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: I have always thought he was a much better punter

471
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: than a quarterback. And that is no knock on his

472
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: quarterback game, right, because he saved us so many times

473
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: with the fake punt, you know actors, if he's gonna

474
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: just kind of run it, you know, run up and

475
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: kicking and then he takes off. God, he did that

476
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: countless times, which extended our drives. I don't remember it

477
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: ever not working. I think it did once. Man thinking

478
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: he told the story about one time. Maybe one time

479
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: got on him. But to me, that's a great sence.

480
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: It's like all the ones that work, Hey, way to go,

481
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: and it's like, now, what are you doing? The only reason,

482
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: the only one we don't remember, but that we remember

483
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: that didn't work with the no Danny no, which wasn't

484
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: a punt that was that was a snap from Landry

485
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: had eight picks in three different seasons in nineteen fifty one,

486
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: fifty two, and fifty four, which was an all pro year.

487
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: So the six in a row or either fifty one

488
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: or fifty should have given us a whole lot more. Yeah, well,

489
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: maybe he realized how hard it was back in so

490
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: if I took care of the front seven, I'd saved

491
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: my back for But you know what, when the flex

492
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: was put together, it was not made for a defensive

493
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: back at all. Right, I think he's it must be

494
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: a lot of self hate that he has because now

495
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: on the serious point with the flex, and I try

496
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: to explain to people all the time, they don't get it.

497
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: But with the flex, it's made for the run. I

498
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: can't have a defense made for the run. In the past,

499
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work. So who's the sacrificial lambs the

500
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: second day, whether it's the linebackers or whether it's the dbs,

501
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna be the ones that's gonna have to give

502
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: up something in order for us to for the sake

503
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: of the scheme itself. And when I came in, you know,

504
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: I was like, I wasn't paying attention to that. I

505
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: wasn't going to give up anything, which is why I

506
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: got beat sometimes because I'm gonna cover everything because that's

507
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: just coming out of college, that's what you know, and

508
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: as an acceptor, that's what you want. You're gonna catch

509
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: every route. So as much as I was doing it

510
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: a lot, and it amused Charlie Waters and Dennis Thurman,

511
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: they had all kind of great nicknames for me because

512
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: you're doing something they're not supposed to do. Tom Madge's like,

513
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: you need to stop doing that, Okay, just stop doing it.

514
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: And he never really he just never gave you the

515
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: credit as a defensive back because, like you said, this

516
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: was all about stopping the run, yeah, and it was

517
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: not about passing. I remember when we were doing a

518
00:30:54,600 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: documentary on Doomsday Defense, the first Doomsday one, right, and

519
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: somebody was we were doing the interview and somebody asked

520
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: one of the defensive backs about the flex and they go,

521
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: don't ask me that. Yes to do yes, boy, that

522
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: you've never told me that. That's very girl. I can't

523
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: remember who it might have been clear for Charlie something

524
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: it was. It was probably Charlie because Charlie was always

525
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: trying to fight for us in the secondary and then

526
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna listen to myself, Dexter, Michael Downs and

527
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: vine Fellow's not gonna listen to us. He might listen

528
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: to Charlie or Dennis Thurman. Had a lot of respect

529
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: with Dennis Thurman in the locker room. So you can

530
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: talk all you want, you're not going to change the

531
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: flex and until it was outdated by I would say

532
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: the first team to outdate the flex would be the

533
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. He's still running, yes he is, and

534
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm still diving after him too. That was a nightmarish So,

535
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: by the way, game yeah, not just game yeah, okay, right, yes,

536
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: game eighty three three, I guess I'm talking about the

537
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: playoff game. That's what I'm talking on the ice in

538
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: the end zone. Both of the playoff games eighty three

539
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: that was ice in the end zone in Texas Stadium,

540
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: went out there in eighty five we were uh that

541
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: was a which one was wild to shut out one

542
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah. So, by the way,

543
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: people are asking me yesterday about Belichick and what do

544
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: you think he'll do, and I said, well, evanston Walls said,

545
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: and so h McCarthy made mention to it that this

546
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: will be the first time they see uh he was.

547
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: He made mention of man coverage, and I didn't know

548
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: if that was something that Belichick liked to do. Somebody

549
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: said single safety high and then he would use man

550
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: coverage on the wide receiver he started out with. When

551
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: I was in New York, they were we were perfect

552
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: with the Tampa two. I guess it's kind of what

553
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: they called it now, but I will cover two if

554
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: you're depending on how it turned out, it's going to

555
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: be a couple of four. And if you're going to

556
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: play a coup of two or cover four, one thing,

557
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: you got to have linebackers, athletic linebackers. If you don't

558
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: have them, it ain't gonna work. And he's always that's

559
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: why Tampa. Yeah, that's why he's had it with lt

560
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: and Banks and Pepper and Tampa headed of course with

561
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: Books and those guys. So yeah, if you're gonna play

562
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: a cover two a couple four, your linebackers have to

563
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: be extremely athletic, more athletic than most because you have

564
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: to get underneath. You gotta get underneath, you got you

565
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: got not going, You have to get underneath. You have

566
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: to react to the short passes as well. Okay, Yeah,

567
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: And they have been on the cutting edge of the

568
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: last several years of using more dbs on the field

569
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: than and other teams have followed suit. Now super Bowl itself, Yeah,

570
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: we had Eric Howard was the only defensive lineman in

571
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: the game for the most part. And that's the thing

572
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: with Belichick, the way he's evolved over the years too.

573
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't you can't do what they've done

574
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: over this longer period of time without without that imagine

575
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: this though, it's twenty two years with the Patriots. You

576
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: know how long he's been coaching in the National Football

577
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: League now, thick, go ahead, forty seven years. Nineteen seventy

578
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: five his first year. How old was he? Probably right

579
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: out of the academy, wasn't the an army or something? Yeah,

580
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: that's what dad coach. Well, let's see nineteen seven. Let's

581
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: see he is sixty nine right now, and so he

582
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: would have been twenty three years old. Wow, And yeah,

583
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: seventy five. He was a special assistant with the Baltimore

584
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: Colts in seventy five, and then a couple of years

585
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: with the Lions, the Broncos, and then with the Giant

586
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: starting in seventy nine as thus special teams coach, which,

587
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: of course, which brings us two more of what Mike

588
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: McCarthy had to say about Belichick's Patriots. When we come

635
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: special teams play a part in Sunday's game against the

636
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Well, as we were taping the Mike

637
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: McCarthy Show last night, Uh, he made a point to

638
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: me in a break that we need to talk special teams.

639
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh well, we know why the time up there and

640
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: of course and of course he was not a part

641
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: of that, yes two years ago. But it's just it's

642
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: what the Patriots do. And I think one Matthew Slater

643
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: is still there. That's exactly right. And he was the

644
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: guy that blocked the punt because the guys on the

645
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: outside didn't do their assignment and left a gap. You know,

646
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: as I look up Matthews Slater, if there was a

647
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: guy to make the Hall of Fame who is strictly

648
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 1: a special teams player, Matthews Slater might be the leading candidate.

649
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: Not Kenny the Shark. Let's see, you got them on

650
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: that one, got them on. Now come on now, Bill,

651
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: don't don't how many Pro Bowls has Slater made? I

652
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: was I was going to say like three or four? Nine?

653
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: Oh what I didn't think that sounded like Zeke the

654
00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: other day the interception record. Oh, that's a lot. All

655
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. Yes, yeah, that's amazing that they could

656
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: afford a special teams player for me. I mean, that's

657
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: the priority in two thousand and eight fifth round draft

658
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: pick out of UCLA, of course, the son of Jackie Slater,

659
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: and of course and um Jackson State University. By the way,

660
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: hbcuh go ahead, it would And so you we're talking

661
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: father's son Hall of famers. Yeah, okay, um, but I mean, now, one,

662
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: it's kind of one of those deals once you make

663
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: All Pro, once you make the Pro Bow, and once

664
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: you have that designation that you're only draft looking at

665
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: anybody else exactly, only drafted for special team's purposes. Not

666
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: and take nothing away from Matthew Slater, okay, but it

667
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: illustrates the emphasis that um Belichick puts on his core

668
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: special team ever since. Asked where he lines up while

669
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: on that punt block in twenty nineteen, he will was

670
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: kind of halfway between the middle in the end. Yeah,

671
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: and he came through a crease that they blocked the

672
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: wrong way. I mean, it wasn't like he had this

673
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: great play. He just saw that, Oh that guy's going

674
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: that way. That guy's going that way. I just come

675
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: through here. That's the kind of heads up players, right,

676
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: Bill likes. Yes. Okay, So how big is John Fossil's

677
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: role in this game? Oh bones, let's go, we're thinking

678
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: we break out the old. First of all, he don't

679
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: get too excited, you know, that's his problem. He's like

680
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: his special teams players. They called special teams players special

681
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: teams players because they are special and sometimes they can

682
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: act a little special. Right, They'll do things if you go,

683
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: like especially when it comes down in the ball on

684
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: the gold line. I know people work on that all

685
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: the time, but just see some of the biggest idiots.

686
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: Just dude, why you're running so fast? You know. I mean,

687
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: it's just some of the things that they do. And Fossil,

688
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: to me, he's that guy that can really he can

689
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: empathize with him and he can relate to them. So

690
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: I just don't want him to think, oh he comes

691
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: better check here comes to Patriots. So let me do

692
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: something over the top special. Just do your job. Okay,

693
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: and keep and keep the Patriots from doing something something.

694
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: Let's not get to and talking about guys running down

695
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: like that. They run down like that on coverage and

696
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: I see him practice it all the time, where okay,

697
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna run down his facial account and then break down,

698
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: right so you can go with They forget that, They

699
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: just run by the guy. Yeah, it's like all sitting

700
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: right there and all of y'all, you come and dive

701
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: on that ball, that the one y'all right, right, you know,

702
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna slide and everyone's so, oh my god, how

703
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: could that happen because of you? You're done it, my goodness,

704
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: play under control. That's it. That's the team is. Let's

705
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: do it guys. And the ones that don't know how

706
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: to do it the best, they're the ones that have

707
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: the best teams period because they are in tune to

708
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: doing it the right way. It's not just about hustle.

709
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: It's about accomplishing something, and that's where the best ones

710
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: have the best records. You know. The tough thing on

711
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: special teams too, like in training camp, you can't you

712
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: don't practice it live. You have no live sessions on

713
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: special teams until you get into a preseason game and

714
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, this is what you're supposed to do? Right? Well,

715
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: how am I seeing people? Yeah? Why are they trying

716
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: to hit me? One other thing on Slater, the Patriots

717
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: not only drafted him in the fifth round, they also

718
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: traded up to draft him in the fifth round that

719
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: they had Okay, yeah, because jacket Slater would be on

720
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: Yeah jackets out there? Yeah, so good one yep. So

721
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: special teams would be a big part of this one. Okay,

722
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: So you think of Fossil's mindset going into this one,

723
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: matching up against the team that's known for special teams. Whatever.

724
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: Now you're right. So coaching about dan Quinn, I mean

725
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: he was coaching the Falcons and a super Bowl against

726
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: the Patriots team, and he has every play in his head.

727
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: In fact, he would have been a defensive coordinator in

728
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: Seattle against the Patriots and a super Bowl also he

729
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: has he has every play in his So how much

730
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: how much to do coaches get motivated to face Belichick?

731
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: This is one of those things where they didn't wait

732
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: till this week to prepare it, right, right, you see

733
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They've been looking forward to this all.

734
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: That's my redemption moment. Yeah, we're spending. We got redemption moment.

735
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: We got mojole moments in redemption. As soon as that

736
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: schedule came out. Okay, in the month of May, they

737
00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:00,919
Speaker 1: stayed up late. Let's study Patriots. Why not. We're gonna

738
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: put that to the side. We're gonna donate all that,

739
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 1: you know, commit all that time to this. I'm gonna

740
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: put some time to my Patriots. And they look at

741
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: it that way. Dude, I know that that you get

742
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: more motivated if you go up against writers, the strong

743
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: writers from the other team. Yeah, I'll show. I'll show

744
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: who's the writer for the Patriots. They've they've changed over

745
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: pretty much, just like everyone of the days. Could you

746
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: kick his ass? I'm trying. I'm forgetting the guy's name.

747
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: He had worked for UM for one of the papers

748
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: up there. It's been The Boston Globe, and then he

749
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: went over to Mike Reese. Is who I'm trying to think.

750
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: Ok Yeah, he impressed me as a young guy, and

751
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: he's progressed and now he's either with ESPN dot com

752
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: that's got the athletic so I think he's a nine

753
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: time pro bowler. He is a yea, now he good,

754
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: He's right. Let's think about this. He has to be

755
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: the worst job in the world to be a beat

756
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: writer for Belli and Belichick. Oh you know what though,

757
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: I last year during covid U, they were you know,

758
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,960

00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: was an excellent answer, traffic coach. I was in traffic

800
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:43,560

802
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: on Pace was one of them all right before they signed.

803
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: They didna get it. They want it was, um, what

804
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: you're you talking? Abod twenty five more rows? Here they

805
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: go all over the place. Fairly Dickinson, fairly, Dickinson. There

806
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: you go, We got all the answer, right. Megan used

807
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: to hang his sheets out the window when he would

808
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: climb down and sneak out from training camp, like, man,

809
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: was this a jailbreak? Well, eventually, I guess it could

810
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: have been well in thousand in thousand oaks. So they

811
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: used to the dorms and then they had a media dorm.

812
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were aware of that, but

813
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: the media dorm was right across from the check in

814
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: hut or whatever that was it security or whatever. So

815
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: in the back of the dorm there was a little

816
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: plaza patio and they used to stock the refrigerator with beer. Right,

817
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,439
Speaker 1: So after we'd go out at night, we'd come back,

818
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: sit on the patio, and to the left of us

819
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: was a softball field, and if you go there was

820
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: a big field, and to the right was a dormitory.

821
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: Right when a parking lot. And so every once in

822
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: a while we used to call them runners with some

823
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: player would go from the softball field to that parking lot.

824
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: I know exactly. I'm surprised more people didn't call us out.

825
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: We would sit there and we'd see one and go

826
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: and somebody goes, there goes a runner, and we go, hey, hey, hey,

827
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: just yelling. The guy would run faster. The door of

828
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: the car would open, the lights would come on, the

829
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: guy would dive in the back seat, and the car

830
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: would take off. They were escaping for the night. Well

831
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: you got la right down the street, I mean, come on, yeah,

832
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: Well who's gonna stay in the dorm. When you see

833
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: Irving Magic Johnson there is his basketball camp, he goes, hey, comy, hey,

834
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: he knows me about cumming. We'll come to my play

835
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: to night. Sure, No fo, no, man, we got practice

836
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. No, don't worry about it. Me and the

837
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: boys would be there or the guy. We made it.

838
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: We're going through the little checkpoint and they would have

839
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: their bible and their toiletry kit. It's like just gonna

840
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: be a lot long bible station rights and that was

841
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: a John Wooden basketball camp that was on. The Magic

842
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: would come as the guests, instructor or whatever. I remember

843
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: interviewing him there right outside the gym. That's why. That's

844
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 1: why I saw right outside the gym. Yeh. That old

845
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: gym now is a warehouse for their UH play production

846
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: group at the university. So they store all the props

847
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: in that gym. Now, that's what it's turned out to be.

848
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: They still have the football stadium right there. They got

849
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: a new football soccer field. Yeah yeah, all right, and

850
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: the stands or the stands. I'm going out there, so

851
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm driving, Oh, go in, go walk. I went there

852
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago because the cafeteria is still

853
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: the same. So that one year we were at training

854
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: camp and we did a deal on training camp at

855
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: Thousand Oaks. So Nate and I walked through, did interviews

856
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: there and we went into the cafeteria and still the same.

857
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: You can down them steps either way right, and there

858
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: was the big area and there was a lady there.

859
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably looked like in her sixties at least.

860
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: And uh so we're looking around. She goes, hey, you

861
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,879
Speaker 1: guys know that the Cowboys used to have training camp

862
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,640

867
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: She's there serving you guys. She's the one that used

868
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: to let me, uh she would mark me present for

00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: breakfast because I didn't want to go. She marked me

870
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,279
