Way you set things up, I mean, you 20 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: just kind of go right into that's a professional guy, 21 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: But no, do it good feel like you know, it's 22 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: the three days a practice have been pretty good. Off 23 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: day coming up. You know, players kind of get a 24 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: chance to catch their breath. We need to catch our 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: breath a little bit too. But it is going to 26 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: be a really exciting weekend with you know, with the 27 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: practice leading into the Blue White, because like with the 28 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: Blue White, you're gonna get some actual, some tackling and 29 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: see a lot of these young young guys get options. 30 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: As a former scout, I appreciate that the most when 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm trying to put this team together. Yeah, it's a 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: nice little preview for preseason game number one. Yeah, because 33 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: we'll see me just five days later. Five days later, 34 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: we'll see some of these young guys, like Brian said, 35 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: towards the end of practice in a real competitive situation, 36 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: and then they will probably dominate most of the snaps 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers. We had some preseason football 38 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: last night too. We did Football's game, Yeah Fighting seventeen 39 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: sixteen win by the Ravens over the Bears RG three 40 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: in the house. That's right, Yeah, yeah. Man. Lamar Jackson, 41 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: though thrown had mixed reviews, but it's the first preseason game, 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: first to five for those two teams. The next Thursday, 43 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: of course, the Cowboys will be up the road in 44 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: Santa Clara to take on the forty nine ers and 45 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: again though on this Blue White scrimmage. In fact, after today, 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: it's four straight practice days for the Cowboys, afternoon practices Saturday, 47 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday, and eleven am practice specific time on Tuesday. 48 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: And Brian doesn't like to talk about the weather, but 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: he did mention it just before we came on the 50 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: air that it's gonna be eighty eight degrees on Monday 51 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: and Tuesday. That's very hot for this place. It is. 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: But you know, Jason Garrett, if you were asking him, 53 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: he would probably get a little smile about that. You know, 54 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: it's not like it's a devastating weather, but you know 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: you can still breathe. But yeah, that's good. They get 56 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: a little heat, and you know, it always helps your team. 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: It helps, not not the excessive heat, but little heat 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: helps your team kind of get things going. So on 59 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: the news this morning, I heard that in San Diego 60 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: it's been so warm that the Pacific Ocean has reached 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: a record high of seventy degrees at the beach as 62 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: it really I'm thinking high of seventy. I'm still not 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: going in the water. Seventy degree seemed to me. Those 64 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: to me those Shark Week movies. I'm never going in 65 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: the water. I'm the guy. I'm the guy waving on 66 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: that man. Good to see him. Yeah, yeah, I'm here, 67 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't get into the pool like 68 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: in Texas. You know, obviously it gets into the nineties 69 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: in May in Texas. But I'm not getting into the 70 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: pool until. My rule is Memorial Day to Labor Day. 71 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: That yeah there, and it's got to be at least 72 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: seventy eight. Yeah, and that's pushing it. Sometimes were such whimps. Seriously, 73 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: I talked to my wife the other day. She's like, 74 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: it really cooled off at home. It's like ninety eight. 75 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: It's not one hundred. It's not a hundred. Can I 76 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: tell a real quick little story. It's not Mickey's minute, No, no, 77 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: but they'll try to make this quick. When when when 78 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: I lived in Green Bay, when it was zero degrees, 79 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: you felt zero degrees, so you feel it, But the 80 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: next day it would be five. You could honestly feel 81 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: how what the difference between five extra degrees? What it 82 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: felt like to your body? You're like, oh, I feel it. 83 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: I understand it now. So I mean when you get 84 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: to a certain point, it ninety eight is actually pretty 85 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: cool compared to one hundred. And I tell a quick 86 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: little story. It's like the weather channel. One of my 87 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: best friends in high school. Uh he is. He and 88 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: his family moved down from Wisconsin to Irving, Texas. Uh 89 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: And they were at a high school football game in 90 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: early November in Texas, having having lived in Wisconsin their 91 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: whole lives, and they felt They said that I've never 92 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: been this cold in Wisconsin. When you get that Texas 93 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: wind blowing and it's thirty degrees, it's quite a difference. 94 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: I can tell you an expensive story. Here we go. 95 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: My electric bill just showed up. Oh I do not 96 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: want to say. Oh, air conditioner never shuts. I remember 97 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: my sister asked me, the air conditioner ever turn off? 98 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: I go, no, it's got a it's got to cool 99 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: off like thirty degrees when it's one hundred and ten, 100 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: just to get it to seventy five. Knock on wood. 101 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm just praying that my air conditioner makes it another 102 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: That's what I am, because it's it's due to be replaced. 103 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: Fix mine weekend before we left. You fixed it yourself. 104 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: Absolutely not I paid three hundred bucks or whatever. Okay, 105 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: what'd you get out of yesterday? Favorite day of practice? 106 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,559 Speaker 1: That was a good, favorite day of practice. I love 107 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: red zone work. You know, we didn't get the we 108 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: didn't get the off. Some defensive line involved. But I 109 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: really felt like that when they came out and they 110 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: had the one on one and you have Chasing Garrett 111 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: there really keeping score and he's almost like he's prodding 112 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: the defense. That's eleven to four. Somebody gonna stop the 113 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: bleeding here. You know, somebody's gonna make a play, so 114 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, and you can kind of tell. And then 115 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: the intensity, not that the intensity wasn't from the word go, 116 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: but I thought the receivers did a really good job 117 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: of getting open and then all of a sudden it 118 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: became like, you know, Christopher Shard and then got involved 119 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: and said, okay, let's let's start playing some shutdown defense here, 120 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: and they were able to do that. I liked. I 121 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: love that period because hey, you compete, be both sides 122 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: really kind of got at each other, and I thought 123 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: that was really see it is right in front of us. 124 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: Yeah that at last week, we're standing at the end zone. 125 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: We had to back up off the line, tethered to 126 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: his camera and he'd try to see everything. Well, and 127 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: you can you can hear the coaches, Yeah, hear the 128 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: coaches coaching up the players. Right. So at one point 129 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: it was eleven to three, right the offense. Yeah, and 130 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: then it got to fourteen to ten to six, and 131 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: then he was like, okay, the next play is worth 132 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: six points, the defense one, and all of a sudden 133 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: it's fourteen twelve. Well, they had they had a deal 134 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: too where if you remember, they had a string where 135 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: they went like the offense was just clicking it along 136 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: and then they at the end like Mickey, after the 137 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: six point play, then it became like they made three 138 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: or four stops after that that were good. You know 139 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: along the sidelines at Jeff Heath play, somebody was making plays, uh, 140 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: to keep them out of the end zone. Was the moneyball? Yeah? 141 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: When well up when he upped the any on the point, 142 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: that's when the defense made because at one point it 143 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: was it was one point, and that's when he Garrett 144 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: was really going there. Maybe birds flying over, just got 145 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: hit myself, calmed down, Yeah, yeah, don't be strain. I 146 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: got a coaching Yeah, throw the headset off, can't help. 147 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: I've got a coaching point to make here. Whether you're 148 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: coaching at the professional level, the college level, high school, 149 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: for you youth sports coaches out there, make it fun 150 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: for your players. What Jason Garrett was doing there, it 151 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: was he makes it a competitive drill. Okay, So when 152 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: you're coaching girls softball or whatever, keep score of the 153 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: drills that you're doing, right, but it makes it it 154 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: has your players more engaged in the drill. But the 155 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: thing that I got out of that drill from a 156 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: coaching standpoint as well, it relates to the Cowboys Packers 157 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: game when Aaron Rodgers threw the fade over Jordan Lewis 158 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: right to win the game. Okay, I remember Dave Campo 159 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: texted me at that time, right when that happened, and said, 160 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: you can't guard the fade like that. The cornerback cannot 161 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: guard the fade. You can't look back at the quarterback. Okay, 162 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: you remember in that game they threw a fade that 163 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: was more of a lob to the corner of a 164 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: Rodgers did on Jordan Lewis over there. Okay, he saw 165 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: the technique that Jordan Lewis was using. He looked back 166 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: over his shoulder right at the quarterback, and then they 167 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: came right back, hit him again, hit him again, and 168 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: he did saying technique. Chris Richard was coaching his corners 169 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: over here right said you can't look back. You can't 170 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: look back. You got to guard in the hands, guard 171 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: the hands. And I texted Campo uh last night and said, 172 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: they're teaching him just like you said. Well, if you 173 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: notice the guy that the guy that seems to have 174 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: the ability to really play the ball, whether it's down 175 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: the field or in the end zone, has been Byron Jones, 176 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: and Byron Jones is a can not only can he 177 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: get his head around quick when he's chick when he's tracking, 178 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: but he has ability to get back to the hands 179 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: and he's he's a if he sees his hands, he 180 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: will swat through your hands every single time to try 181 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: and and and at least disrupt you. He's gonna make 182 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: you make a contested catch, either you're gonna get it 183 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: or he's gonna knock that thing over by you and 184 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: I and standing over there and there in the inside 185 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: Cheto did that too, and one on ones over there 186 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: in the corner against Kale McCabe was giving up four 187 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: inches on the guy right and was still able to 188 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: high point the ball last second, make a contest get 189 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: the ball down. That was impressive. Both those guys are 190 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: just absolutely flying around out here. My good as. It 191 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: was a bludgeoning Yeah, yeah, proding the defense, it was, 192 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: and you know what, and it was going on without 193 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: Herns or Thompson on the field too, by the way, 194 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: those guys got themselves a day off. Yeah, Herns has 195 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: got some tight uh both odds, both of them are. 196 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: They're a tight so. But yeah, that it was and 197 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: providing opportunities for the younger guys. Oh yeah. In fact, 198 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: the first first guy you mentioned on your notes today 199 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: or tell me what you're seeing, I tell you what though, 200 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: they're they're they're they've committed. Lance Lenor was a favorite 201 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: of Will mcclays when they brought him in last year. 202 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: He returned punts with really some you know, some poor results, 203 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: but they kept him around on the practice squad. He 204 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: was one of those guys that I was told that 205 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: was when they practiced reps when they when they were 206 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: actually getting ready for games. Now, he was the scout 207 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: team guy, but he was also getting reps with the 208 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: first team, and when they wanted to throw a guy 209 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: in to kind of give somebody a break during practice, 210 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: he was getting some work. He's been a guy, he's 211 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: a he's a favorite of the quarterback. He was a 212 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: guy that was part of the star group that came 213 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: in every day and was working with Dak Prescott and 214 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: went down with Dak to Orlando exactly. So he's he's 215 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: tried his best to but he's starting to show up. 216 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: They're putting him on the outside, they're putting him in 217 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: the slot. He made a tremendous catch yesterday in the 218 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: in the uh in the red zone where he was 219 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: able to uh, you know, he was going against Anthony 220 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: Brown and Brown was all over him and he and 221 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: he just reaches up with his hands, he snatches it. 222 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: Brown swiping at the ball. He gets the ball down 223 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: to him and then he's able to secure it. But 224 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: he gets both feet in right next to the pylon, 225 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: you know, and then gets the gets the touchdown. So 226 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: they're throwing him a lot of opportunities here. We've talked 227 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: about guys that haven't been practicing. You know, hey, if 228 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: you're able to run, you're able to make plays, they're 229 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: gonna keep you. They're gonna keep you on that football 230 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: from No. Brown. Better get on the field before he 231 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: gets He said he was a favorite of of Wills. 232 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: He was a favorite of Das. Yeah. I asked Dak 233 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: about it one day in the locker room. He goes, 234 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: that's my guy. Yeah. You know what, that's interesting you 235 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: bring that up. What number does Lance Lenore wear fourteen fourteen? 236 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: What number did Miles Austin wear his rookie year fourteen fourteen? 237 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: What did Tony Romo say about Miles Austin after about 238 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: a year? Who going into training camp? I think the 239 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: second year? Who is the guy that was his guy? 240 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: Miles Austin and college free agent? Right, and top of 241 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: all the stuff the reps he's getting, he's also back 242 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: there catching punts too, and hopefully better than he did 243 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: last year. Remember that time it was the first get 244 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame games. Well, I remember the Hall 245 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: Also the game we played in at the Colosseum. Brad 246 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: and I were doing the game and he was like 247 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: halfway in the sun halfway and it was yeah, trouble 248 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: that year. Oh gosh, It's like yeah, and that can 249 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: get you cut, right, because Gray Williams is no longer 250 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: roster because he struggled returning punts for several days in 251 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: camp already. You know, the day before he was running 252 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: to come back and he slipped and fell, and he's 253 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: on the ground, prone and forward like he dove from 254 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: the ground. He was he was laying on the ground. 255 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: Mickey's absolutely right. He's horizontal to the ground, and somehow 256 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: he manages to pop himself further towards the sidelines and 257 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: then reach back to get the football. He continue to 258 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: make plays like that. A couple of a couple of 259 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: other notes on Lance Lenore out of Western Illinois. The 260 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: Leathernecks career records, they're two hundred and seventy three catches 261 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: for nearly thirty eight hundred yards. He was a high 262 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: school teammate of Laquon Treadwell in the South suburbs of Chicago. 263 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: Create Illinois Deep dis Pizza down there, Yeah, Create you 264 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: can get it. Yeah. That was the next suburb south 265 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: of where I grew up. And by the way, they 266 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: were two thousand and twelve state champions. Yeah, I've done 267 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: my some of my prep work. That bead is ready 268 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: for him to have a big game. Yeah, I'll be 269 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: I'll be wet blanket man over here. I'm looking at 270 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: the numbers. Yeah, that's gonna be tough. That's the deal. 271 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to he's gonna have to really show out. 272 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: And how does he have to beat then? Okay, just 273 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: okay seven or eight? Practice needs gonna have to beat 274 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: the he needs him to keep seven. Yeah, I think so. 275 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking. I'm counting six right now, that like I 276 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: feel good about. But how are you dressed for a game? Five? 277 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: Just five for a game? Probably so he's your part returner, 278 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: maybe you can dress for the game. But remember they 279 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: they they they brought him up at the end of 280 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: the season last year, sure to make sure they had 281 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: the rights to him. Sure, what about punt return? Well, 282 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: if he's dressing, if he's your guy, I mean that's 283 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: why return. Yeah, right, he was. He was working yesterday's 284 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: with I mean, well, well Williams. They gave Beasley a 285 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: little time away from the punt returns. He kind of 286 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: I thought he did his hamstring and when I asked 287 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: him after practice, He goes, I got kneed on the 288 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: side of my muscle in the quad. Don't don't You 289 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: didn't need Tavan to be your punt Yes, yes, I 290 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: mean you're trading. And with the new kickoff rules, we'll 291 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: see how in the preseason. That'll be interesting to see 292 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: how it manifests the new rule. The only the only 293 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: reason you wouldn't do it is if you're worried about 294 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: him getting hurt. But but you traded for him because 295 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: he can do so many different except when the ball's 296 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: being punted inside the red zone, then you want beastly. Yeah. Yeah, 297 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: what if they'll go back to that? I think so. 298 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: Do you think Keith Oqua will carry on that tradition? Think? 299 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: He He pointed that out to me, by the way, 300 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: without even asked, Hey, can I ask you a question 301 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: about And you were talking about Noah Brown and he 302 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: made an excellent point yesterday, and I want to give 303 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: you credit for that, But you were talking about the 304 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: linebackers that this team now has, and it went over 305 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: my head there and I apologize, but but I went 306 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: back and thought about watching the show and stuff. You 307 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: said that with the more linebackers that they might not 308 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: be able to keep Noah Brown? Is that kind of 309 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: is that kind of keep him just because he can 310 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: play special teams? He's gonna yeah, you know, yeah, he's 311 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to make it as a wide receiver. There 312 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: you go, See I missed that. I think that's good 313 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: to think about the linebackers they have now that can 314 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: play special teams. Know, before it was basically wilbur and 315 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: Damian Wilson. Right now you got vander Esh March, Lillard, March, 316 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: Thomas Thomas. Because why was he why was he drafted? 317 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: Maybe if he why was Noah Brown drafted? Seventh round? 318 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: Seventh round? Why was he? The size? Probably the traits. 319 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: He was drafted to be a wide receiver, yes, not 320 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: to be a special team game Well yeah no, but 321 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: it was. But one of the main reasons he was 322 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: he was drafted was how young he was and how 323 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: he was wrong. There's no question, Ohio State guy who's 324 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: twenty years old coming out and you want him to 325 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: develop into something. And but you're right, he's got to 326 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: get out here and and this preseason and shows up 327 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: because of the numbers at the wide receiver position, Yeah, 328 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: I'll be he can have a leg up on everybody 329 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: else because of his specialty, Which six did you count? Well, 330 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: if you're counting Tavon as a receiver, and I still 331 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: have I've not seen him in the backfield yet. He 332 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: said yesterday after practice that I haven't been in the 333 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: backfield yet, but he's ready and Willie, maybe they're not 334 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: showing it. Maybe they don't want us to watch that tet. 335 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 1: I've got Tavon Beasley Gallop Thompson, who by let's not 336 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: forget that Sanjay coached him, Yeah, and has holds him 337 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: in high regard. Yeah, hearns. And I got Terrence Williams. 338 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: That's six. Right to see. This is where it's gonna 339 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: be interesting if they and Mickey don't don't kill me 340 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: because the money. I understand he's making money. I understand. No, 341 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: it's just guaranteed. Yeah, but I'm saying, do they swallow 342 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: that then to keep a player that might be better 343 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: than Terrence war cap wise, they've got room to swallow. 344 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: That was a question for our Alexa app Brian the 345 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: other day. If it comes down to a young guy 346 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: with potential, Terence is in the last year of his deal, right, 347 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: is that a consideration for that? See, that's not that 348 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: that's what That's what I'm thinking. Would they would they 349 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: would they would they sacrifice the space to keep a 350 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: Lance LN or keep a Thompson keeping Noah Brown? Is 351 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: he in the last year of his deal? No, I 352 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: know he's got two more the last year of the 353 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: garts the coaches and again this is a new coach. 354 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: The coaches traditionally keep guys, are like to have guys 355 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: that they have familiarity with. Now he's got a new 356 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: coach he's playing for. You know, does does this do 357 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: these rules apply to him? Where I'm making you think? 358 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: Jay was very uh noncommittal, no defensive of Terrence Williams 359 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: yesterday because somebody suggested that, uh, well, have you had 360 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: an effect on him? Because I see him, uh catch 361 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 1: the ball with his hands. Yeah. He looked at him, 362 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: and he goes, well, I maybe I'm not watching as 363 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: much as you guys do. He goes, But I asked 364 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: him a question about he's got the reputation of being 365 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: a ball yeah, and he said, and he goes, I 366 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: haven't seen him. He's been catching the ball with his hands, 367 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: He goes, You know, and sometimes you got to catch 368 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: the coleb tell you that I mean, there was a 369 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: lot of times yeah you got that plant. So he 370 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: he's he's pretty sharp. But I will say this, yes, 371 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: did you watch him after practice yesterday? Over here? San 372 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: Jay and Terence Williams twenty minutes they were working specifically, 373 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: And that's the reason if front, That's that's why I 374 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: asked him the question. Things they were They were specifically 375 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 1: working in practice on catching the ball on an out 376 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: route with with the hands. Yeah you know, but okay, 377 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: we did good describing what he's doing now better? But 378 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: is that going to be good enough to make this 379 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: football team? Would they consider we're just crystal ball in here? 380 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: We're not. I'm not. I'm not saying this is gonna happen, 381 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: But I wonder if they do have if if if Thompson, 382 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: if Noah Brown coming back, if Lance Lenore and say 383 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: that Williams doesn't pick things up, Not not that he is. 384 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: I think he's doing a really good already looked pretty 385 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: good here. Okay, but if it comes down to one 386 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: of those guys, who do you take? Yeah, because I 387 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: left off Noah Brown in this list that he'd be seven, 388 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they keeping think that's the you guys are 389 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: not going to answer that question. That's because we're up 390 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: against the break, all right, and Chris and Indiana will 391 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: be up when we go to the phone calls nine 392 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: seven two four nine seven forty four hundred when talking count.

What happened? Mackey? You can't answer this 443 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: because we had this conversation yesterday. I was just smiling 444 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: two years ago today, August third, twenty sixteen, Kellen Moore 445 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: got hurt. Kelen Moore broke his ankle. We had our 446 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: dak for cootus points who stepped on his ankle? What guard? 447 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: That's a good one. Oh, is he still on the team. 448 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: Though I don't. I'm just getting I think it was 449 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: probably Clay to board. May I think him? I think 450 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: it was him. I think it was Clay to board 451 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: and stepped on his ankle. I changed the course of 452 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: quarterback history. Indeed he did. Of course that happened. And 453 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: at the time, Dak was battling Jamie Showers for the 454 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: third string quarterback job and Kellen Moore was the backup. 455 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: And then three weeks later, of course, Tony Romo breaks 456 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: his back and the rest is Dak Prescott history. We 457 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: talked to Kellen about this a few days ago and 458 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: he said, well, we got Dak Prescott out of the 459 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: mix of something good happened. I mean my led to 460 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: the end of my career to buddy. So here's the 461 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 1: question I posed to Dak Prescott yesterday when we did 462 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: the Dak car wash. What is your interview on with him? It? 463 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: We aired a little bit of it last night, but 464 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: I think the entire the entire conversation will be Sunday 465 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: night on CBS eleven. We'll post it as well. I'll 466 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: retweet it at CBS eleven Bill Jones. Anyway, all right, 467 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: So here's my question. I mean, and you can chime 468 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: in on this, all right. Setting that stage there, Kellen 469 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: Moore goes down, Tony Romo goes down. All right, What 470 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: was the most likely thing to happen two years later, 471 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: that Kellen Moore would be Dak Prescott's quarterback coach, That 472 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: Tony Romo would be the lead analyst on CBS, or 473 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: that Jason Witten would be the lead analyst on Monday 474 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: Night Football. Most likely or least like the most likely 475 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: thing that you would have predicted at that time, Kellen 476 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: Moore is the quarterbacks coach. That was what I said, Yeah, 477 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: because he was headed and I talked to him about this. 478 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: He was always headed down this path, yes, family of coaches, 479 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: and he told me that you know what happened to 480 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: him is right over there a couple of years ago 481 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: just kind of accelerated the path because he kind of 482 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: became a coach player coach that year anyway from him 483 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: and Mark Sanchez great help. So you're all in agreement 484 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: that Kellen Dak's answer was Romo and Witten. He really 485 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: decided between the two because they're always going to be 486 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: successful at whatever they do. Basically, you know, yeah, but 487 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: that's just assuming they were done with football. Rank how 488 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: you think, Okay, rank one to three, one being the 489 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: most likely, three being the least likely, Kellen Romo, and 490 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: then Witten least likely. Because I thought Witten would play 491 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 1: till I thought Witten would play two or three more. 492 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: I thought it be the other way. You thought on 493 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: the broadcast on Monday Night Football, No, that he would 494 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: have no, no, that he would be retired before right. Okay? Yeah, 495 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: see that's that's where I think my money on football 496 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: is such an iconic brand. Jason Witten is the last 497 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: guy that I thought would be on Monday Night Football 498 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: as an analyst, the last guy on April fifteen. Yes, 499 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: because you thought he'd still be playing, or you didn't 500 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: think he would go into I just didn't think he 501 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: would go into TV. I didn't think Jason went I 502 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: thought Jason Witton's path was going to be into coaching, 503 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: and and then the next thing, you know, he's coaching Memphis, 504 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: and then he's coaching you know, he's coaching Vanderbilt, or 505 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: he's coaching you know. I think that's kind of where 506 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: I thought he would go. Here's where I here's where 507 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: I think Witten's career is going right now. It's he's 508 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: Monday night football booth and whenever that Tennessee head coaching 509 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: job opens, Yeah, that's where he's headed. He's thirty six, 510 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: has a lot of life left to live, you know, 511 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: willing he can do. A lot of guys have come 512 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: out of the broadcast booth and become head coach.

He revealed, Bill, 524 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: don't use all your material now, that's just Tavan brought 525 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: it up yesterday because we were talking about the wide 526 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: receivers carrying the bricks. It just wrote that down to 527 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: remind me that I had that quote, and he actually 528 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: used They used that same drill in basketball in high 529 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: school at Table High School, and he said, I didn't 530 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: shoot no bricks in high school. So I picked that 531 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: thing up. Yeah, that's I was gonna ask. Because he 532 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: picked up the brick. It weighs twenty five twenty five pounds, 533 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: but it's painted so it's clipp slick. So I was 534 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: holding it and it just slid roud. It wasn't because 535 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: hand sized didn't have a problem. Well no, it did 536 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: strang strength, but the paint just it slipped right out 537 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: of my hand. Yeah, imagine that. Because there's no podcaster 538 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: professional wide receiver. Somebody didn't make it but ten yards 539 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: who who? I didn't see that someone. We have trouble. Well, 540 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: they're trying, they're trying to build up to it. Wants 541 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: them to go with early in camp, without your breath. Seriously, 542 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: only take Noah Brown one earlier, That's what he said. Yeah, 543 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: early on. It's just been one one trip down and 544 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: they've kind of gotten better at it. Tavon said he 545 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: only made it like halfway across. Yeah, you can't. You can't. 546 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: There's no grip, you know, it's not like it's a 547 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: rough surface that you can kind of dig your fingers into. 548 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: It just slipped right out of my hand. Oh wonder 549 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: why you're not out there? I mean, we're not. I'll 550 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: go next time professional God to do a talking Cowboys version. 551 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: They're in that tent. We go do it. I got 552 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: two numb fingers right now thinking about it. Yeah, I'll 553 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: see already, excuses I'll try. I'll go. And by the way, 554 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: every time I talk with Dak just come away more 555 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: and more impressive. You know, I've talked about it yesterday. 556 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: He's just a stud. Is he feeling pressure? Bill? I 557 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: did bring that up to him, and he added a 558 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: likely answer. But uh, you know, he's just exudes confidence 559 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: apps to be the leader of your team. And and 560 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: going back to our conversation from whenever it was yesterday 561 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: or the day before about that pressure of the contract 562 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, he's got so much confidence about it. 563 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: He didn't even think about that. That's why I said yesterday, 564 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: like when he says that stuff, I actually believe it. 565 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: If he says, if he told you that there's no pressure, 566 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: most guys say that and I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah, 567 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: all right, I mean, yeah, sure, there's pressure. Thank you 568 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: very much, Chap. Yeah for the interview. Okay, thanks, but 569 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: well I'm not gonna get in this discussion with you 570 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: again today. But everybody out there's got pressure looking at him. 571 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: But it's it's it's opera. I think he probably used 572 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,959 Speaker 1: it more as opportunity. It's banics for him. It's how 573 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: you opportunity, motivation, opportunity, good words. Okay, so the backup 574 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: quarterback situation, Okay, what do you see in there? I 575 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: hope we got a couple of gamers, because it's kind 576 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: of been a little hit and miss, to be honest 577 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: with you, Mike White. I've got two size fourteen Nikes 578 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: right up on the top of this table for Mike White, 579 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's been it's been a little bit 580 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: of a struggle for him, to be honest with you. 581 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: From what my evaluation is, I think he's holding the 582 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: ball a little bit too long right now, and some 583 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: of his throws, I think he's some of his indecision 584 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: as far as where he wants to go with the 585 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: football has been a little bit of a rough. And again, 586 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: he's a rookie guy at Cooper Rush. He hasn't been 587 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: perfect either. I think some of the stuff down the 588 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: field that he's tried to throw has been a little off. 589 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: He's made some throws and then times he'll make a 590 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: throw in here where's he going, ends up in a 591 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: spot of the field. I'm just very hopeful that we 592 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: have these four preseason games, that they get protection, they 593 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: continue to get good wide receiver play, and that both 594 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: Scarborough and Jackson and those guys can tote the mail 595 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: to keep defenses off him a little bit so they 596 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: can make some play action throws and and and and 597 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: complete some passes and get a little bit more confidence 598 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: about what they're doing. So what about that guy Jackson, Yeah, 599 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: Varius Jackson, He's had some nice both Scarborough's had some 600 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: good runs too. Yeah, they're gonna have a tough time. 601 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: Hopeful about that. I really am. So it was a 602 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: Trey Williams release solely because of the instability to I 603 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: think Mickey's got the actually and I think after they 604 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: saw Jackson, yeah they yeah, I mean, because you know, 605 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: and I got reminded. I forgot. He's not even a 606 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: year removed from his ac ACL injury. Right, So, oh yeah, 607 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: you know the thing the Cowboys you gotta remember about Jackson, 608 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: They liked him, they didn't want to lose him. Yeah, 609 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: he was on the he was on the inactive list 610 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: for twelve games, and then they had to make a move, 611 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: and I think the move is to get Randy Gregory 612 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: on the roster. Darren mcfaddman it was McFadden, Okay, I 613 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: knew it was. Who was somebody that they had to 614 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: release that never mind. But but yeah, they thought they 615 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: were going to sign him back to Cleveland, Cleveland and 616 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: Cleveland with Cleveland doing Cleveland doing a good thing, you know, 617 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: you mean, if you're looking at personnel, you know, and 618 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: you're a bad team trying to add guys. And it 619 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: didn't work out for him Cleveland like that, and then 620 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: he tours a c right right away. And the thing 621 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: I'll say about the backup quarterbacks that Brian said gamers, 622 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm willing to reserve judgment until we see games 623 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: because I'm just looking at yeaheah, you're right. Just was 624 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: your just you know, we're out here watching practice and 625 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: when and when they when things are good, you say 626 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: they're good, and when things are not so good. You 627 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: say they're not so well, you're absolutely Dak same thing. 628 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: That's that's that's fair, No, Brian, you're dead on. Yeah. 629 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: I just remember Cooper Rush last year. I don't think 630 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: he showed a ton in practice, and then he got 631 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame game and not only did 632 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: he make plays you're talking about twenty or something like that, 633 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: some crazy thing. The protection wasn't great either in that game. 634 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: So we'll see. But but but yeah, Mike White does 635 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: a lot of the time look like a rookie quarterback 636 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: processing things. I thought it'd be. I thought it would 637 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: be a little bit of a smoother transition for him. 638 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: He is a rookie quarter Yeah, yeah, just a seven 639 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: or eight practices, please, you know, I bear with me here. 640 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm just evaluation. Yep, that's all right now, maybel early, Yep, 641 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah. How many people like you said, why 642 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: did Jamil Showers scouts thought when the scouts thought that 643 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: they had Dak Prescott when Jamie show hours, that's what 644 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: they thought. That scouts will admit that they thought they 645 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: thought they thought they thought Dak Prescott. They went Scott 646 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: Lenahan and the coaching staff were the ones that really 647 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: pushed Wade Wilson really pushed for Dak Prescott, and the 648 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: Scouts argument was, well, wait, don't we have Dak Prescott 649 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: and Jamie Showers. And they went back and forth, back 650 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: and forth, and then the coaching staff won. That won 651 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: that discussion and it worked out for him very well. 652 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: Don't worry about it was a business. No, no, no worries, 653 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: no problem. But think about it as we talk about 654 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: two years ago today. At that point August third, twenty sixteen, 655 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott had not separated himself Jamiale Shower much less 656 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: but Jamie and not until they go to the college 657 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: the RAM game, and we're all sitting in that open 658 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: air press box going where's this guy been? And then 659 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you start remembering the things that 660 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: Dan Mullen and those folks at MISSISIPI said, State said, Hey, 661 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna be glad you drafted this guy. He's he's 662 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: a he's a big time player. He went, he's a winner. 663 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: All these things started going through a head. I'm like, going, man, 664 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 1: Dan Mullen was right about this guy got in the Houston. 665 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: People were saying the same thing last year about DeShawn 666 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: watching Shawn Watson, you know, and and what his college 667 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: his college coach was basically compared him to the greats 668 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,479 Speaker 1: that played the game, you know, even at the NFL level. 669 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: And we saw it in the glimpse that we got 670 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: of him last year. Yeah, Showers and still play quarterback. 671 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the age. And I don't you know, if 672 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't this doesn't work out here, I don't know. 673 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if he could go get another shots 674 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: made a couple of nice plays yesterday. Yeah, showed up. 675 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: He played safety. Yeah, but see where he was. Where 676 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: was he making plays? The field was smaller, and his 677 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: reaction seat we always see him. His reaction. He knows 678 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: where he needs to go. It's just getting there in 679 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: a timely manner. And it's sometimes it happens to Xavier 680 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 1: Woods as well. But you you when you can shrink 681 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: the field a little bit, the reaction time is Oh, 682 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: if you just react the right way, you can make 683 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: say he did. He did a couple of nice things, 684 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: just they Showers did. I was impressed by him. He's 685 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: got a different body now than what he had to 686 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 1: go two days.

So anyway, 716 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: last night, after I did my live shot out here, 717 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: we had to have a closing stand up with me 718 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: doing yoga, and so I'm hitting record at home. Where's 719 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 1: my fault? I'm an ask he recorded. Rowdy just happened 720 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: to be out here on the field because a competing 721 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: sportscaster who was celebrating his seventieth birthday, that would be 722 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: Dale Hansen.

Oh let me 727 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 1: tell you that yoga stuff. Yeah, all I did. I 728 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: wasn't really doing I was. I was just sitting down 729 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: with my legs crossed and did you feel old? Yes, 730 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: very good by hims. I mean I haven't used those 731 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: muscles and forever your legs stop. Yeah, like you know 732 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: that's not politically cured. I had to bring that up 733 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: as soon as it left my mouth. I said it 734 00:38:54,640 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: to folks. I said, like, you know, American style. Did 735 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: they have to twist you at the at the end? 736 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 1: I didn't. I did, like put my fund up there 737 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: and my other fund over. It was just I was 738 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: not doing the like you would sit at a pick 739 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: set or something, sit on the ground. Picture tea pictures 740 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: sitting on the ground. I think we should do that. 741 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: My problem, my issue on one a minute is that 742 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: I got got torn meniscus in my left knee, and 743 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: so it is painful for me to sit in that lake. 744 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: Well I didn't realize is how painful it would be 745 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: on my hips as well. So anyway, Yeah, keep working out, Bill, 746 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: You're doing a great shot.

Hey, guys, 806 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Really enjoy the show. It 807 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: sounds like you guys are having a really good day today. 808 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: Thank you. But I also wanted to mention I really 809 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: love the banter between Brian and He's just awesome. So 810 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: please continue that. A couple of questions. First off, currently, 811 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: with the way the defense is made up, UM, you know, 812 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: nothing against the defensive tackles or the safeties, but if 813 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: there needs to be an upgrade, um, you know specifically 814 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: with that uh, that safety up in the Pacific Northwest, 815 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 1: what would be what would make the defense better right 816 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: now if they were to upgrade the safety position or 817 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle position. So that's the first question. And 818 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,720 Speaker 1: the second question, UM, I haven't heard much about Joel Lanning. 819 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: Uh does he have a shot of making this team 820 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: as a linebacker? Um? Just when that's that, thank you 821 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: very much, I'll sit back and listen to things. Appreciate Lanning. 822 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: I think his best bed is practice squad for him. 823 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 1: I think he does. He's such a good athlete. You 824 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: could put the guy on the practice squad and he 825 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: could do I mean, the guy played quarterbacks runs, you know. 826 00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: And to keep in mind with Lanning too. I mean 827 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: he inverted to linebacker his last year at Iowa State, right, 828 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: so right, Yeah, he was a quarterback and he played 829 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: some quarterback even when he was playing a linebacker at 830 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: an all conference level and a great conference, the Big Twelve. Yeah, 831 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: and he did it against Oklahoma too, and they beat 832 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 1: tough defense. They have made it to the College Football 833 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 1: Playoff for the second time in three years. You know 834 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: something something about Landing though. He might be your new 835 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: version of Jamille Showers. Yeah, you know, the guy that 836 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: can do a lot. But I was gonna say he's 837 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: perfect for the practice. He sure is, and you know 838 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: it's and we've got we've got a blue Blue White scrimmage, 839 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: We've got preseason games. I guarantee it the last you know. 840 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: The great thing about it is we don't have a 841 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,840 Speaker 1: cut until September one, so he's gonna get four shots 842 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: in the preseason games, you know what I mean. So 843 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: maybe he could find a way to solidify a position 844 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: on the practice squad. You know, you're always competing. You're 845 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: always competing. If you're a guy, you're competing for practice 846 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: squad spots as well. So hopefully he can and you know, 847 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,879 Speaker 1: maybe that. But if he shows up, well, and we'll see, 848 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: I think this linebacker croup with who they've got there now, 849 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 1: will be tough for him to make. But practice squad 850 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: is surely not out of the question. So if you 851 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 1: were going to add a five time Pro bowler to 852 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: this defense, would you rather do it at defensive tackle 853 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: or safety? I said this the other day, I would 854 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: rather do it at defensive tackle. Right now? Yeah, I 855 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 1: think I would too, And that's because I know you've 856 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,439 Speaker 1: talked about Xavier Woods. He's still learning, he's still learning 857 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: how to recognize things. But I kind of like what 858 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,360 Speaker 1: I've seen from him. Sure, I think he brought a 859 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: lot of potential. Now is he going to be an 860 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: All Pro player? I don't know, but you know he's 861 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: a six round draft pick. Sure, I think he's got 862 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: a chance to be a pretty good starter for this 863 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: team if they stay status quo. See, I gotta know 864 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: who the five time Pro bowler is? Yeah, I mean 865 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: that's why I got to know the defensive tackle. We 866 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: already know it. Okay, it's Earl Thomas is the one 867 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,879 Speaker 1: in question at the position. And I just going trade 868 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 1: for Aaron Donald since they don't want to pay right now, 869 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: there's a thought. Now if it's Aaron Donald, yeah, you're 870 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 1: all in. Everybody's all in. I yeah, I just feel 871 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: like that if you were going for the defensive tackle, 872 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: you would probably go younger, longer term, if you were 873 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: gonna make that trade. If you're going for the safe, 874 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 1: you're probably looking at a two to three year deal 875 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,399 Speaker 1: for that one. So so what would who like? Would 876 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: would Sue be the equivalent and at this stage in 877 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: his career or the equivalent of what Thomas is? So 878 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're with that, if you gave me, 879 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: if you if you get down now, if you gave 880 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: me a choice between Sue and Thomas, I would take Thomas. 881 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: So that's what this kind of point in time in 882 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: my career. But okay, say all right, say this, how 883 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: about this, Say that the say the Rams want to 884 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: give up on like Brockers, Michael Michael Brockers, Yeah, yeah, 885 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,280 Speaker 1: he was, he was. He was part of the Clayborn 886 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: that's they took. They take stayed in that spot. They 887 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 1: they stay in that spot. That's where the Ram, that's 888 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: who the Rams took. Okay, would you take Michael Brockers 889 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: for say that's a good example, a third round pick, 890 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 1: absolutely see rather than Earl Thomas. Yeah, just from a 891 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: number standpoint. By the way, I don't know if we 892 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: touched on this. Cavon Fraser is back at safety and 893 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: at least, you know, he's a he's a rotation guy. 894 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: I think maybe he's trying to compete for a starting job. Um, 895 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: so he's back in the mix at least. Yeah. By 896 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 1: the way, it sounded like it's more diet than medication 897 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 1: to treat whatever you know came up. Yeah, so we'll see. 898 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: But anyway, that's from a comfortable point, they're a little 899 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 1: bit better figure, you know. That's what he he actually 900 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: did say. That's so. And I think what everybody needs 901 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: to remember about the Earl Thomas thing, it's it's it's 902 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 1: not only about the draft pick. He wants a lot 903 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: of money. Yeah, and I saw what he wrote on 904 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: It's the Tribune and and that sounded all fine and good, 905 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: but he didn't mention in there that he wants to 906 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 1: be the highest paid safety in the game. The other thing, 907 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 1: I think players like him when they sign a contract, 908 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: you gotta start putting in that before your last year 909 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,359 Speaker 1: or the contract, you better put a clause in there 910 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: that if I'm on the roster on March first, I 911 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 1: get this amount of my base salary, because that's why 912 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,760 Speaker 1: they get into these situations. And I understood his argument 913 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: about I've been here, I've done all this for the 914 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: team data DA, Well, you get to that point, you 915 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 1: better have that clause in the contract because then you 916 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 1: get older and they say, I don't know if I 917 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 1: can afford that now, So that clause needs to be 918 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 1: in that contract when you're entering your last year. If 919 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm an agent. Yeah, I just I feel like with 920 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: with him, you know, the money, I don't. I'm not 921 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: so much worried about the money, and I'm not worried 922 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 1: about the pick. I'm just I'm trying to figure out 923 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: ways right now. And maybe it's a situation where if 924 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: he goes to the right situation, and maybe maybe we're 925 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: misevaluating how much money he really wants. Okay, you said 926 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 1: he wants to be the highest paid safety at Seattle. 927 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: I think he wants to be the highest paid safety. No, 928 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure he is already. No, No, I think bear 929 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 1: Eric Barriot, I mean no, that's he's hit Seattle. He 930 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: wants to be the highest paid safety in the league. Yes, 931 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 1: if you get him in a situation where he ends 932 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 1: up in Oakland or Dallas or one of those places 933 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,720 Speaker 1: where he gets him out of there and it turns 934 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 1: into a three year deal, it's all guaranteed. I use 935 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 1: the model for what they did for the quarterback in Minnesota. 936 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 1: You guarantee the contract and then you know, and once 937 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 1: it's over, it's over. So three years, thirty million guaranteed. 938 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 1: You're probably gonna have to go a little stronger than that. 939 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: But but yeah, you're then you're getting to what he wants. Yeah, 940 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: but he's already a he's already a ten to eleven 941 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: million dollar player right now. If you guaranteed him two 942 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,360 Speaker 1: more million dollars a year, say six more million dollars 943 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: for three years, and then turn around it, but he's 944 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,320 Speaker 1: at a place that he wants to be, maybe you 945 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: get that deal done. But his cap charges ten and 946 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 1: a half million. Yeah, I just you do have to 947 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: pay great players. I think I understand, and I think 948 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: it's Seattle. He wants to be paid at Seattle. But 949 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: but if he goes to the right situation, and I 950 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: could be totally wrong about this, making I could be 951 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,280 Speaker 1: totally wrong. But I think if you guaranteed the contract 952 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: and you found a way too, and he gets to 953 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,320 Speaker 1: a place where he wants to be, I think you 954 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: could get this deal done. See. I think if you 955 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,439 Speaker 1: give him a lot of money the first year, yeah, 956 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: then he's probably looking at him going, Okay, I've got 957 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: my money. And then there's two more years on my contract, right, 958 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 1: and I've got my money but front, but I'm back 959 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: in Texas, I'm near everything I love. You know, those 960 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: are the kinds of that sometimes that makes a difference. 961 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,800 Speaker 1: Would Seattle be interested in one of the Cowboys wide receivers? 962 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 1: See Seattle? To me, I don't know if it's so 963 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 1: much the wide receivers who just got hurt. Doug Baldwin 964 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: has been hurt. Yeah, Marshal is listed as a starter, right, 965 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,839 Speaker 1: offer them and yeah he saw he was basically done 966 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: last year. I think that I think that John, I 967 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,919 Speaker 1: think that he could probably you offered you said, okay, 968 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 1: look at our wide receivers and determine which one you 969 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: would like. That's you when you usually make a trade 970 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,239 Speaker 1: and someone saying, hey, we've got a surplus at We've 971 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 1: got a surplus at this position, okay, look at look 972 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: at our position, Look at that position, because okay, let 973 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,719 Speaker 1: me say this, is there anybody on that list of 974 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 1: wide receivers that you wouldn't trade for the Cowboys for 975 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 1: you wouldn't trade to get a shot to draft UH, 976 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,279 Speaker 1: to get a not drafted to sign UH to sign. 977 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not trading Cedric Wilson. I mean sorry, 978 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 1: Michael Gallt Michael Gout, Yeah, yeah, is he the only one? 979 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 1: Is he the only one? I think? For the for 980 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 1: what you're how you're constructive this show. We want to 981 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,399 Speaker 1: part with Cole Beasley for what they do because Tyler 982 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: Lockett Yeah, and you know, and and I think you 983 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: need Hearns. Yeah, okay, so we got too. Everybody else 984 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,759 Speaker 1: is okay? So everybody else we say. And then the 985 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 1: other thing You've got to consider, if if I had 986 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 1: an excess player at a position that I could trade, 987 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't feel as bad about trading for his contract 988 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: on a one year deal if he doesn't want to renegotiate, 989 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 1: because because the guy I'm trading I was probably gonna 990 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 1: cut right. Would you trade them? Would you trade them 991 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis or Anthony Brown? Did we discuss this yesterday. 992 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 1: He kind of made a face like, mm there it is. 993 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 1: It's the face I think about it. Yeah, Okay, if 994 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna, would you you would trade one of those 995 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,120 Speaker 1: guys for a one year deal? Right? Would you trade him? 996 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 1: Would you trade? All? Right? What you're you're taking on 997 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: his contract, but you're giving up picker, you give it up. 998 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,440 Speaker 1: In addition, you probably have to if you did it 999 00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: with a player, you probably realistic. He can look at 1000 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,359 Speaker 1: a third ye, I think I think a second round. 1001 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,439 Speaker 1: It's a second. I think a second gets it done clear. 1002 00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 1: I think a second gets it done clear with the contract? Right, well, 1003 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 1: we're taking on his I'm not trading for a one 1004 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 1: year contract with draft choices. Okay? Would you would do 1005 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: it for a player? Though? But I do it for 1006 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: a player? Okay? If you said, okay, we will give you, 1007 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,360 Speaker 1: we'll take the contract, we'll give you Anthony Brown or 1008 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. What about Jamie Showers. Your guy's a little 1009 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: smarter than that. Huh. Yeah, he's not a dummy. He's 1010 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 1: he's not doing radio like me. He's a little smarter 1011 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 1: than that. And a lot of people think they look 1012 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 1: at what he's gonna look at your roster and he's 1013 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: gonna pick your best. But but a lot of people 1014 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 1: look at from the outside, look at Seattle and what 1015 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 1: they've done getting rid of players this year, and they 1016 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 1: think that, oh, they're rebuilding, they don't care about this year. 1017 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 1: But but I bet you in Seattle they care about that. 1018 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 1: Sure they do. Sure they care about They care about it, 1019 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 1: and to a point that they can win, especially in 1020 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,680 Speaker 1: that division. If you're paying a quarterback one hundred million dollars, 1021 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: then you're trying to win football games. Yeah, you're not 1022 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 1: starting over. Yea. All right, here's a question in our 1023 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:10,319 Speaker 1: last four minutes here, this is a very young Cowboys team. 1024 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 1: It is is it too young? Boy? From a playoff 1025 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 1: contender standpoint? They've got three guys thirty year over right, 1026 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,360 Speaker 1: and when him as a snapper and the lake, I 1027 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 1: don't think necessarily it is because you have experience in 1028 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 1: key spots on both sides of the ball. You still 1029 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 1: got that veteran offensive line on the offense. That they 1030 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 1: were young leads, They were young at one time when 1031 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: in Pro Bowls and Pros. Yeah, they're right in their 1032 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: prime health, willing for Tyrn Smith and then on the 1033 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. You still got Sean Lee 1034 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:48,879 Speaker 1: health willing that coupled with you hope that these young 1035 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 1: dbs DeMarcus Lawrence as well. I think they've got enough 1036 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,840 Speaker 1: veterans to put this thing together. And I always go 1037 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: back to the offensive line. If you've if Connor Williams 1038 00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: stabilizes the left guard spot, they're gonna do what they 1039 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 1: normally do. They're gonna run the football. And if one 1040 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 1: of these were a couple of these receivers can show 1041 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:08,839 Speaker 1: up there, they can win football games the way they 1042 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: always have. Let me let me throw some Super Bowl 1043 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,840 Speaker 1: winning or contending teams from the past at you. The 1044 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,440 Speaker 1: ninety two Cowboys. How many players did they have on 1045 00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 1: their roster? Thirty or old? They were young, so we're young. 1046 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: That's why I went straight to them. About five, you 1047 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:33,319 Speaker 1: have five? I would say four, four, six, ten and one. 1048 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 1: It was a long snapper, hell Astray was thirty, right 1049 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,360 Speaker 1: Bates was thirty one, Ray Horton thirty two. I Colt 1050 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 1: was thirty, Jeff Cot thirty one. Newton Nate was thirty 1051 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 1: one and ninety two. Novachek was thirty. Saxon the punter 1052 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: was thirty two. And A was thirty two and Robert 1053 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 1: Williams was thirty. So how many of those guys though, 1054 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:54,479 Speaker 1: were starters? Well, I mean Jeff Coote was a significant player. 1055 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 1: He was, he had already I coult was, he was, 1056 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 1: that was. Larry Brown came in that year and so 1057 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 1: he was. Kevin Smith ended up taking his job right 1058 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 1: eventually that season. But I mean, you had a mix 1059 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 1: of old and young, and by THEA wasn't the other 1060 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: reason that I looked at that Dak is twenty five, okay, 1061 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 1: what's Zeke twenty two? Twenty three? Now okay, all right, 1062 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:26,319 Speaker 1: Well that year Troy was twenty six, Michael was twenty six, 1063 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 1: and Emmett was twenty three, So you're nucleus there. They 1064 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 1: were all this about the same age as what. So 1065 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: the key thing is is age doesn't matter as long 1066 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,600 Speaker 1: as you're good. Dirty dozen and seventy five had ten 1067 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: players over the age of thirty. They didn't win the 1068 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl that year, but that everyone talks about that 1069 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 1: Dirty dozen draft class. The seventy one Cowboys Super Bowl 1070 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:51,320 Speaker 1: team had ten players thirty or over all. Right, modern 1071 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:56,400 Speaker 1: day Eagles last year ten players thirty or over all? Right. Actually, 1072 00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 1: this year they have ten thirty or over. Last year 1073 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl team at fourteen players thirty or over. Huh 1074 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,799 Speaker 1: See though, if you're going to compare it to back 1075 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 1: from ninety two backwards, there was no salary cap, right, 1076 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,719 Speaker 1: so you could keep those over keep those old guys. Yeah, 1077 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,920 Speaker 1: and you didn't have to pay them minimums. And I 1078 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,919 Speaker 1: haven't looked at New England how many they got thirty 1079 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 1: or over, but they got a quarterback. They got a 1080 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 1: quarterback turning forty two today, probably pretty pretty extensive for 1081 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: forty one today. I think New England they seem like 1082 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 1: a team that's always adding veteran players. Did the Redskins 1083 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 1: in ninety one to have like thirty al thirty and over? 1084 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,920 Speaker 1: Redskins have always been an old team and George Allen's 1085 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,320 Speaker 1: teams in the seventies, yeah, all fifty one they didn't 1086 00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 1: want any rookies. Got it off as Staton Babe, So 1087 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 1: Blue White Scrimmage on Sunday.
