<v Speaker 3>away from NFL Draft Day, and Mickey, you would not

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 3>leave how much I have filled up my big green

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 3>NFL Draft scouting notebook in the last week. There's all

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 3>sorts of scribbles all over this book right now.

0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 4>So do you have like five pages of potential backup core?

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 5>That's where I started, That's at the very beginning.

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 6>All right.

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 3>In fact, I've been pages are coming out on the notebook.

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 3>I've been perusing these backup quarterback prospects.

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 6>Very nice.

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but wait a second, I thought the Cowboys had

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 3>their backup quarterback since the last time we convened they

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 3>acquired Joe Milton.

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 6>Did they acquire them before. Last time we talked about

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 6>him last night, I can't remember.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 5>It was like Tuesday or Wednesday.

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 6>Well, but we did Monday.

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 5>That's what I'm saying. We haven't talked about Joe Milton.

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 6>I thought you said we talked.

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 3>About No, we haven't talked about Joe Milton. By the way,

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 3>before we get into Joe Milton any White, we're going

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.479
<v Speaker 3>to have him on in the second segment, and he

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 3>and his daughter, Heather, Joe have written a book called

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Spotlights and Shadows, and I read it last night late

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 3>after I got home from work.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 5>I love the book.

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to talk to him and it's it's

0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 3>not there is football in it, but it's basically a

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 3>book of life lessons and I can't wait to hear

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Danny talking about it.

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. Absolutely.

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 4>As a matter of fact, when I ran into him

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 4>a year ago when he was the it was the

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 4>Quarterback Award in fort Worthvy O'Brien award. He was the

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 4>I guess they bring in a form of legend, relegend

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 4>or whatever, and he was there and his daughter was

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.639
<v Speaker 4>with him, and they were talking to me about it

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 4>and they asked, they said, can we send you kind

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 4>of a pre publishing book to read and let me

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 4>know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 4>And so I hurried up and read it, and you know,

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 4>it was fine, and I kind of congratulated him on

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 4>what they did, gave him a few suggestions, and then

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 4>I had already read it, and I said, all right,

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 4>well when it comes out when we're in training camp.

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 6>Then we'll get him on.

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 4>Well, one thing leads to another and we get busy

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 4>doing what we do, and I never got around to

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 4>doing it, so I thought, Okay, now's a good time.

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, it'll be interesting to hear why he did

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 4>it and how they did it.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Too, and really good stuff, especially for those of us

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 3>who followed the Cowboys Cowboys fans back in the seventies

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 3>and eighties and have had a ton of respect for

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 3>Danny White over the years.

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 6>All Right, speaking of quarterbacks.

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so we jump right in on Joe Milton.

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 3>What do you make of the acquisition of Joe Milton,

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 3>a Cowboys roster that of course has Dak Prescott. It's

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 3>out there on the practice field in the rehab group

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 3>throughout this offseason and looks good. And you got Will

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Greer who was acquired reacquired late season, and now you

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 3>add Joe Milton to the mix.

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 4>So here's the way I look at it. The Cowboys

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 4>were going to use, or at least we were projecting

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 4>that they would use a third day draft choice on

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 4>a young quarterback that they could groom to potentially be

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 4>a backup of the future, sort of in the vein

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 4>of when they drafted Dak Prescott in twenty sixteen. Their

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 4>idea was, Okay, we're going to use our second fourth

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 4>round pick on maybe the backup of the future, not immediately,

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 4>but the backup of the future to Tony Romo. And

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 4>so basically what they did this year was, instead of

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 4>using a fifth, sixth, or seventh round pick on a quarterback,

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 4>they used the fifth to trade for Joe Milton, the third,

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 4>a former sixth round pick of the Patriots. And so

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 4>that's what they That's how they drafted their quarterback with

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 4>a year of experience. Now I thought everybody needed to

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 4>ap breaks a little bit, because immediately the Cowboys have

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 4>acquired their backup quarterback for this season. I don't think

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 4>they look at it that way necessarily.

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 5>Right, he can come in and compete for it.

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 6>He can compete for it.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.279
<v Speaker 4>He's got to compete with Will Greer, so he could

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 4>compete for the backup job.

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 6>He could be competing.

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 4>For the third quarterback position on the roster. And I

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 4>was told this does not preclude them signing a veteran

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 4>quarterback who's out there.

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 3>I think it's likely right they will, and I don't

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 3>in as far, I don't think it changes anything as

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 3>far as the acquisition of a quarterback, whether it's in

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 3>the draft and or free agency. The Patriots gave him away,

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 3>right basically. I mean, that's what I don't understand about it,

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.279
<v Speaker 3>especially with the potential that Joe Milton showed in the

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 3>one game that he did play, which was against a

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 3>lot of Bills backups in the last week of the

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 3>regular season because the Bills did not need to win

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 3>that game. I went back and watch the game Drake

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.679
<v Speaker 3>May played the first series. It was very, very cold,

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.239
<v Speaker 3>it appeared that day when they played Buffalo.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 6>So the Bills were less than enthused to play.

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 3>There, and they were protecting players because everything was locked

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 3>up for them as far as the division and their

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 3>seating goes. And he looked in Milton, you've seen the stats.

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 3>He looked good. Okay. The issue with Joe Milton is

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 3>that he when you look at his stats going back

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 3>to college, over the last seven years, he has not

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 3>played a lot of football. This is going back to

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 3>his first year at Michigan in twenty eighteen.

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean he familiar.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's he has literally thrown over the last seven

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 3>years out one hundred and fifty two hundred more passes

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 3>in games than what Trey Lance has the last seven years.

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 3>And so that's I agree, tap the brakes on that now.

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a great move for the Cowboys to

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 3>bring him in, but I just I'm just scratching my

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 3>head with the Patriots. This is a guy with three

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 3>years left on a contract that pays him nothing a

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 3>million dollars a year, not.

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 4>Even I think what he's costing the Cowboys base salary

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 4>is nine hundred and sixty ten thousand.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 3>You're giving him up to move up forty six spots

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 3>on the last half of the third day of the draft.

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 3>You're giving him up to move up from number two

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 3>seventeen to one seventy one because they they're getting the

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Cowboys are getting the Patriots' first seventh round pick as well.

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 3>As and the Cowboys are giving up a fifth You're

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 3>they're moving the Cowboys are moving down forty six spots

0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 3>and get Joe Milton. Yes, well that's a no brain,

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 3>but it doesn't change anything else. In fact, I would

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 3>take it a step further on this draft, and I

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 3>think that the only way that the Cowboys would take

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 3>a quarterback in the top one hundred picks is if

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 3>they trade down and pick up an extra pick, like

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>trade down in the first round and pick up at

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 3>least I'm saying you could if you really like a

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 3>quarterback who's still there even in the second or third round,

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 3>if you really like him, okay, and you think he

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.680
<v Speaker 3>can be an eventual starter four years from now for

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 3>you and in the meantime back up Dak Prescott, you

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 3>can do that if you acquire another top one hundred pick, right,

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 3>And that's the only scenario I can think of that

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.719
<v Speaker 3>the Cowboys would would pull the trigger on something like that,

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 3>and they would really have to like that quarterback. But

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 3>they're still in the market definitely for a third day

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 3>quarterback regardless, and without a fourth round pick, that would

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 3>be fifth round, sixth round, whatever. But that's no knock

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 3>on Joe Milton. I mean the Patriots were giving him away.

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 3>And what the Patriots did. They have Drake May obviously,

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 3>but they signed Joshua Dobbs, who has a history with

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Mike Vrabel at Tennessee and he might, you know, Joshua

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Dobbs might be the brightest person in the league.

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 6>He's a rocket scientist.

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 3>So he was going to be their backup quarterback. But

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 3>the problem with Joe Milton is he does not have

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 3>enough snaps. He has not played enough football for him

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.199
<v Speaker 3>to say, if Dak Prescott got hurt the first.

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 5>Game of the season, Joe Milton's going.

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 3>To be be able to go in there with that

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 3>limited experience and do what Cooper Rush did.

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 4>You caught lightning in a bottle with Dak that same scenario,

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 4>because that was not the plan.

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 3>But Dak had so much more experience in college. Joe

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Milton starting starting experience in college at Mississippi State. I mean,

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 3>he got Mississippi State all the way to number one

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 3>in the country playing in the SEC. Joe Milton spent

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 3>three years at Michigan as a backup, two years at

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 3>Tennessee as a backup, and finally, in his sixty year

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 3>of college, got on the field and look decent enough

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 3>to be a sixth round draft pick.

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 4>So that was my point, because if I had heard

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 4>it one more time or seen it written, the Cowboys

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 4>just traded for their backup quarterback. No, they traded for

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 4>a candidate to possibly become because, as Bill said, the

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 4>day tomorrow Dack's out, you're going to put this guy

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 4>in there with one game of NFL experience and say, okay,

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 4>save the season.

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 3>And having said all of that, Joe Milton might come

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.719
<v Speaker 3>in here next week when they start off season, brokouts

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.559
<v Speaker 3>and hit the ground running. And there's no quote he

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 3>could pull a Dak Prescott and be the backup quarterback

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 3>without and when over whoever else they bring in here,

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 3>and the Cowboys hope that happens. But there's a reason

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 3>that the Patriots gave up on him after one year,

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.199
<v Speaker 3>with where they could have had him as a backup

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 3>to Drake May for the next three years, and the

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 3>fact that no other team in the league. Now apparently

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:24.319
<v Speaker 3>the Patriots are saying that they did Milton a solid

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.200
<v Speaker 3>and send him to a place that he wanted to

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 3>go and had better offers on the table. But even yeah,

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 3>I rolled my eyes at that too. But clearly the

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 3>market was not great for Joe Milton looking at what

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 3>the Patriots got back for.

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, it was funny because when this happened, I

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 4>made a list, like I think it was maybe on

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 4>Thursday of veteran quarterback that are backup types.

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 6>That were available still in free agency.

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 4>By Friday afternoon, I had to scratch two of them

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 4>off the list already because the Chargers ended up signing

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Trey Lance to a one year deal.

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 6>How about that? Up to six point two million?

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Okay? How about that? How about this? What would the

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 5>reaction have been? Okay?

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 3>You you talked about the reaction by the Cowboys trade

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Joe Milton. Yeah, okay, and there's excitement, Okay, what would

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.319
<v Speaker 3>the reaction have been from most of the fans out

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.680
<v Speaker 3>there if the Cowboys had re signed Tree Lance?

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 6>Right? Oh? What are we doing?

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 6>And a lot of that already wasted six million dollars.

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 3>And a lot of that has to do with the

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 3>fact that Trey Lance was the third pick in the

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 3>draft and is considered a draft bust and this guy

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 3>and Joe Milton is a sixth rounder. And but if

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 3>you look at their resumes, there's no In fact, the game,

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 3>the one game that both of them played last year,

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 3>in the final game of the regular season, it is

0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 3>very similar what both of them did statistically in that

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.359
<v Speaker 3>in those games against playoff boundte right exactly.

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 4>So I had to I scratched Trey lance Off. I

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 4>had to sketch scratch off case Keenum because he ended

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 4>up signing. So my list ended up with Josh Johnson,

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 4>c J. Bethard Ian Book, Desmond Ritter, Joe Flacco, Easton Stick,

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:28.479
<v Speaker 4>Carson Wentz.

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 6>And my favorite one true.

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 4>Locke And we're talking a guy that was very successful

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 4>in college. Uh, never really got a clear shot at

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 4>a chance to start in the NFL, not with Denver,

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 4>not with Seattle. He was the backup what last year

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 4>in with the Giants, believe, and he's available. And I

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 4>think what the Cowboys are doing with this kind of

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.319
<v Speaker 4>list of veteran backups is they're waiting for the price to.

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 5>Come down, or they're also or they're waiting for after the.

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 6>Draft, right and see what they can do in the draft.

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 3>And say what they can do in the draft. The

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 3>other thing that happens after the draft, and the same

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 3>thing happened with the Zeke Elliot signing last year. Then

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 3>you sign an unrestricted free agent and it doesn't count

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 3>against your compensatory picks for the following year exactly.

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 4>And these guys who are probably looking for the best

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 4>deal available will wake up on May first and go, huh,

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 4>many camps are starting and I don't have a job,

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 4>so I better sign somewhere.

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 3>I'll throw another name out there. I don't know if

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 3>you mentioned CJ. Bethard, Yes, I did, okay, And Bethard

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 3>has a history with Shot with Shottheimer, and he could

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 3>be a veteran guy that comes in here and that

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 3>would be competition.

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 5>Whatever.

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Here's a guy who has started games in the league,

0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 3>and then we see how it pans out throughout the

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 3>offseason and training camp.

0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Now and then there were I heard and then the

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 4>people that, you know, whatever the Cowboys do, there's going

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 4>to be a negative reaction like they don't know what

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 4>they're doing. So this is well, this is the same

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 4>thing with Trey Lance. They brought Trey Lance in Da DA.

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 4>This guy has has an advantage because he's going to

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 4>be here for the off season for the OTAs. He's

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 4>going to be here for training camp, and he's going

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 4>to be here for preseason games. If you remember, Trey

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Lance got here the week before the season started and

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 4>had none of that pre experience with the team, with

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 4>the offense, with the offensive system.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 6>So at least this.

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 4>Guy doesn't have one hand tied behind his back learning

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.240
<v Speaker 4>things in the off season.

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.120
<v Speaker 5>All right, very good. Now, what time was we're gonna

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 5>hear from Danny?

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 4>Well you're hoping that about eleven twenty, okay, all right,

0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 4>so take a break here.

0:15:59.120 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 5>Four minutes away.

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Anything else on your legal pad that you would like

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 3>to get to. And again, the Cowboys are other teams

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 3>in the league. If you have changed head coaches this year,

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:13.479
<v Speaker 3>today is the day you can start off season voluntary

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 3>off season workouts.

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.239
<v Speaker 5>Teams like the.

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Bears, Patriots, a couple of other teams a believer starting today.

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Cowboys are not starting that until next month.

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 4>Right The Jets are in there two and one of

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 4>whenever they end up starting.

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 6>So it looks like the Cowboys.

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 4>So right now, if guys come in and want to

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 4>rehab or do some strength and conditioning, they can do

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 4>it with the strength and conditioning coaches.

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 6>But the regular coaches.

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 4>Can't have meetings or anything like that can make a

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 4>phone call.

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 3>I think it seems like even though the Cowboys aren't

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 3>starting THEIRS until next week, they officially starting it until

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 3>next week, that the coaches should be able to have

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 3>interactions starting today even though they weren't on the list,

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 3>because they do have a new head coach, right, Yeah,

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not sure we need to check into how

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 3>that works. Are the Cowboys then extending into June an

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 3>extra week in June their voluntary program and that's why

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 3>they're not starting a week early.

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 5>I know.

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.359
<v Speaker 3>The other thing that's happening behind the scenes here at

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.119
<v Speaker 3>the Star this week, I assume it is happening, is

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of draft meetings going on. Yeah, and

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 3>because we're now two and a half weeks out from

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:33.200
<v Speaker 3>that draft.

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 4>And they had I want to say three three days

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.920
<v Speaker 4>worth of thirty visits last week.

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.040
<v Speaker 3>That was a big week, and especially the end of

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:47.919
<v Speaker 3>the week and on bleeding on into Saturday of guys

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 3>coming in here in dallasdowna also.

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:54.679
<v Speaker 4>And there were some significant names that are being reported

0:17:55.800 --> 0:18:00.680
<v Speaker 4>that came in for those visits. So yeah, they were

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 4>pretty and they were busy on Saturday too. By the way,

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.640
<v Speaker 4>with more visits taking place.

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:11.160
<v Speaker 5>And with the Cowboys looking for a veteran backup quarterback,

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.120
<v Speaker 5>maybe we'll ask Danny White if he has some interest.

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 3>What you got left, buddy, and he will join us

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.680

<v Speaker 5>Is Spotlights and Shadows.

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 3>And so we'll be joined by Danny here in just

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 3>a moment. Anything on your legal pad there, Mickey, you

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 3>want to get to before that?

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, I had some names that.

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 4>Reportedly since the Cowboys don't confirm visits that came in

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:46.439
<v Speaker 4>for either the thirty visits or coming in or have

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.400
<v Speaker 4>come in for Dallas Day when they bring guys in,

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 4>and interesting that I see a bunch of running backs.

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 6>We're going to come in for visits.

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 4>Some of these guys are local guys like Ashton Genti.

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 5>Damian Martinez is another local guy.

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:15.199
<v Speaker 4>Collie Gordon Ye another local running back, and one of

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 4>my favorite guys Ohio State running back Quincheon Judkins. I

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.480
<v Speaker 4>think that this guy's got something. And I think when

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 4>people ask me what position do you think they'll draft,

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 4>and I said, they've got so many choices between running back,

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:39.880
<v Speaker 4>wide receiver, defensive end, cornerback that I think you look

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 4>at the draft and say, okay, which of those positions

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.639
<v Speaker 4>has the least amount of depth in the draft, Because

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 4>if I can get somebody that I need in the

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 4>second round, then in the first round, unless this guy's

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 4>just got the blinking light, I'll take the position that

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:02.639
<v Speaker 4>has the least amount of depth. Because I probably can't

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 4>get a good one in the second round.

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, we started the show talking about the quarterback

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.440
<v Speaker 3>situation with this team, and of course Dak Prescott on

0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 3>the roster, Will Greer on the roster, Joe Milton acquired

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Nicky Spagnola. I'm thinking the Cowboys need a veteran backup

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 3>quarterback on this team, right. I think I would go

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 3>to Arizona State University to acquire this backup quarterback. Let's

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 3>see if there's anything left in the tank. As the

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Great Danny White joins us on mix shots, Danny, you

0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 3>got Bill Jones and Mickey here. We appreciate for some reason,

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Everson didn't show up today for this podcast, but you'll

<v Speaker 3>take Everson spot here, Danny.

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:47.280

<v Speaker 3>anything left in the tank about how about it?

<v Speaker 5>Come on? Come out of retirement here you go.

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>The mind is willing, but the body is weak. Something

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 2>like that, something something something like that. You know what.

0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:14.119
<v Speaker 2>It's a funny feeling because in my really, in my mind,

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm twenty five years old, and I go out

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 2>and I think I can still throw the ball, and

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 2>it just doesn't happen. I don't know, I don't know

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 2>what happened.

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'll tell you a funny thing happened. I think

0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:29.400
<v Speaker 6>it was yesterday.

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 4>I had gone skiing, and I had a beard for

0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:38.440
<v Speaker 4>the last month, and only one or two people noticed

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:42.359
<v Speaker 4>that I shaved it on Friday, right And I said

0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 4>something to my wife and she goes, oh, yeah, you

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 4>shaved it. And I'm going huh, and she goes, why'd.

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 5>You do it?

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 4>I said it was starting to make me look old,

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 4>and she goes, you are old.

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 6>It's like, okay, thanks a lot, appreciate it.

0:24:57.960 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh funny, how that works?

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.399
<v Speaker 5>All right? Well, Danny, let me tell you this.

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I worked at CBS eleven yesterday and I worked late.

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 3>I had a show at ten thirty at night. I

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 3>get home last night close to midnight. I picked up

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 3>a book that Mickey gave me called Danny White, Spotlights

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 3>and Shadows with daughter HJ.

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 5>Kennedy. Right here. I was up to two o'clock.

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 3>This morning reading your book. And I absolutely love this book.

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:35.280
<v Speaker 3>I read it back from front cover to back cover. Now,

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 3>I didn't have to skip through because I needed to

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 3>go to bed at some point. I had to skip

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 3>through some of it. But I just absolutely love this book.

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 5>Danny.

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you, Bill. I appreciate it. It was a

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun. I never I swore I would never

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 2>write a book, because it's just to me, writing a

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 2>book is just being presumptuous, you know, like I got

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to say, and you need to hear it. And and

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, but my kids, especially my daughter Heather, she

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 2>they talked me into it is mostly for her. She's

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 2>a certified life coach and she's written a book of

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:17.439
<v Speaker 2>her own now and uh so and and they just

0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:19.959
<v Speaker 2>convinced me that, you know, I've lived kind of a

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:23.399
<v Speaker 2>charmed life. I've had a lot of things go my

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:27.400
<v Speaker 2>way and had some opportunities that most people don't get

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.919
<v Speaker 2>to have and and would love to have, you know,

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 2>to be the quarterback of America's team and what and

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and maybe there's some things that I ow to share.

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:43.240
<v Speaker 2>And the stories started coming back, you know, and and

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 2>uh some of that stuff about coach Landry and and

0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 2>coach Cush in college were we're just priceless and they've

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 2>all they've all got a real moral to them. Uh,

0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:00.959
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I was trying to do, was was

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 2>make it somehow make it apply to everyday life so

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.119
<v Speaker 2>people could get something out of it. And that's what

0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I was hoping. I didn't want to write a sports book.

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to write a self help or a motivational

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 2>book at least a little bit. And that's why all

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the poetry and all that stuff. But I loved ended up.

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.200
<v Speaker 2>When it was done, I was so glad I did it,

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 2>and so I hope people enjoy it.

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Danny that I was going to ask you that

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 4>that was the unique thing about this book because normally

0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:37.120
<v Speaker 4>when former players write a book, it's memory of this

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:40.399
<v Speaker 4>game and this game and this story and all that

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 4>kind of stuff. But yours was more in depth about

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 4>kind of emotional feelings you had about playing, Heather's thoughts

0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:56.960
<v Speaker 4>on growing up with a celebrity dad and what that

0:27:57.160 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 4>was like.

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 3>A celebrity dad who didn't ever want to be a celebrity,

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 3>right exactly.

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.200
<v Speaker 6>And thus, thank you, thank you, thus.

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:09.199
<v Speaker 4>The title of the book, right, And it was so

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 4>unique and and and you gave us some more of

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 4>the background kind of feelings you had about doing this job.

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 4>But being able to juggle raising a family at the

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 4>same time.

0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's about it's about priorities, mickey, you know, and

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I think, and I hope, I hope. If nothing else,

0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:35.879
<v Speaker 2>the one thing people get out of it is that,

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, we we all develop talents and have gifts,

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and some are permanent and some are temporary, and unfortunately,

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 2>most of us spend a large amount of time most

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 2>of our life developing temporary talents. And by that I

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:54.719
<v Speaker 2>mean stuff things you can't take with you, things that

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 2>are you know, I learned two skills in my life,

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 2>throwing a football and playing the piano. Well, thanks to

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 2>my mom, I spent eight years learning taking formal piano lessons.

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't throw footballs anymore, you know, but I played

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the piano every day and it's brought me so much

0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 2>enjoyment and relaxation and all that and and so it's

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 2>it's it's developing things that are going to be around

0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 2>your entire life and even beyond your life, you know, family, friends, faith.

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Those are the things that I hope people got out

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 2>of it, That to me, at least, are the most

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 2>important things we can we can develop in our lives.

0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:44.680
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's talk about playing the piano, yes, and

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 3>how it affected your football career, you know, and for

0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 3>most of us, Okay, I know myself. We had a

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:56.120
<v Speaker 3>piano and I never my parents never made me take

0:29:56.200 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 3>piano lessons, but the piano sitting there, and I would

0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 3>get on it occasionally and bang on it. And now,

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 3>after reading your book, I'm sitting there going And I

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 3>had a great friend growing up who could play the piano,

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 3>and then I was envious of him once we got

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 3>into high school in college because all the girls flocked

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:18.280
<v Speaker 3>to him because at parties he could play the piano.

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 3>But you told a great story in here, how the

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 3>piano lessons and the discipline of every single day a

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:31.680
<v Speaker 3>half hour on the piano, how it affected you as

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:32.560
<v Speaker 3>a football player.

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. That And never had any clue, nor did my

0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:42.719
<v Speaker 2>mom that I was developing skills that would help me

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>as a as a quarterback. But the discipline of practicing

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 2>every day, her coming out and getting me off the

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 2>street a few times and dragging me in by the

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:57.800
<v Speaker 2>here and slamming me down practiced the piano. But not

0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 2>only that, but then you know, I got to the cowboy,

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 2>said Bob Ward sat me down in front of a

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 2>computer and said, take this test, and they started flashing

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.080
<v Speaker 2>right hand, left foot, and I had these paddles and

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I had to hit them and see how many you

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 2>can do in thirty seconds. And when I got done,

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 2>he just was standing there with his mouth open. He said,

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:20.520
<v Speaker 2>do you happen to play the piano? And I said, well, yeah,

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I do. What's that got to do with this? He said, well,

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 2>you look at notes on a page. Your eyes send

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.240
<v Speaker 2>a message to your brain. Your brain sends a message

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:32.719
<v Speaker 2>to your body, and you do what you see. And

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the faster you can make that process work, the better

0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 2>piano player you are. And I could just tell by

0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 2>the way you take this now. So well, what's that

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 2>got to do with football? And he said, well, what

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 2>do you do as a quarterback? You look down the field,

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:49.320
<v Speaker 2>you see an open receiver. Your eyes send a message

0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 2>to your brain, Your brain sends a message to your body,

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 2>and you react to what you see. And the faster

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 2>you can do that, the quicker you can get the

0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:59.720
<v Speaker 2>ball to that receiver before the defense we had, the

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:03.239
<v Speaker 2>better quarterback you are, you know, And man, I just

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I never ever dreamed. Almost hours of knocking the ivory

0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 2>off of those keys was going to actually, but anybody

0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:17.680
<v Speaker 2>that plays the piano will tell you that it is

0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 2>so true. You have to anticipate and you and and

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>the quicker you can react to what you see, the

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>better you are both. And uh yeah, that's one of

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the stories in the book. And uh it's it's it's

0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 2>so true.

0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:34.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, the Cowboys are looking for a quarterback in

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 3>this draft, maybe maybe a drafted quarterback. I'm thinking Jerry

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Jones is going to hear this and he's that's a

0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 3>question now that's going to be asked to the quarterbacks.

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and Bob said that to me. He said,

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I found that players who play a musical

0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 2>instrument make better athletes. And you know, of course Bob

0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Ward was a deep thinker and he he went for

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that. But you know, if they have a

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 2>piano in the quarterback room, I'm available.

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:07.960
<v Speaker 5>There you go. All right.

0:33:08.160 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 6>So I thought I knew you awfully well.

0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 4>We spent a lot of time, especially these last what

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 4>ten fifteen years when you were doing the Compass broadcast

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 4>for the Cowboys radio broadcast, So I didn't know about

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 4>the piano playing, and I think I'd forgotten how good

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 4>a baseball player you were, and how did you make

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 4>that decision between Okay, I'm going to baseball or I'm

0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 4>going to football.

0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Before you answer that question, let me for those who

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 3>aren't aware of how strong a baseball program Bobby Winkles

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 3>had at Arizona State. Here are a few of the

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:52.240
<v Speaker 3>names that came out of the Arizona State baseball program

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 3>in the sixties and seventies. Sal Bando, Rick Monday, Reggie Jackson,

0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Larry Gurra, Randall went to Arizona State. I didn't realize

0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 3>that Eddie Bain was.

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 5>Like football scholarship, did he really?

0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, that's right.

0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:12.279
<v Speaker 3>And uh and and then it was probably after and

0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:15.719
<v Speaker 3>shortly after your time. Floyd Banister was there, Kenny Landrou

0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Bob Horner uh played there as well. I mean that

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:23.120
<v Speaker 3>was a baseball factory. So now answer Mickey's question.

0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's it's funny because yeah, I mean, baseball was

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 2>my my love growing up. Uh. And I got to

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:35.359
<v Speaker 2>a s U and Bobby Winkles recruited me, and then

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 2>he left my freshman year and Jim Brock came in

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 2>and and a lot of things changed. I mean I

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 2>grew up going to all those baseball games and watching

0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 2>them sprint from the from home played to the dugout

0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 2>when they struck out, and sprint to first base if

0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 2>they walked, and you know, it was just so much

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:58.280
<v Speaker 2>fun watching those guys work the way they did, and

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and that was that was part of the draw. But

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:04.960
<v Speaker 2>my baseball career just just kind of took a nosedive.

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:07.840
<v Speaker 2>In my football career. I went from being one of

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:12.560
<v Speaker 2>five freshman quarterbacks playing one year of quarterback in high

0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 2>school and going there as a punter and a defensive

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:21.400
<v Speaker 2>back to becoming the starting quarterback my sophomore year. And

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.840
<v Speaker 2>that is a long way to go in a short

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:29.920
<v Speaker 2>period of time. And it was because of guys graduating, quitting, transferring,

0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 2>and really Frank Cush was stuck with me and we

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:37.759
<v Speaker 2>had a great team and all I had and he

0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:40.120
<v Speaker 2>told me before the first game is now white. All

0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:42.040
<v Speaker 2>you got to do is get the ball from the

0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 2>center and give it to one of our guys without

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.440
<v Speaker 2>dropping it, and we'll be fine. And that was his

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:49.920
<v Speaker 2>pep talk, you know, And I kind of made a

0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:52.840
<v Speaker 2>career out of that, whether it was Woody Green and

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Benny Malone and Steve Holden or Tony Dorsett and Herschel

0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Walker and Drew Pearson, and you know, I just always

0:36:01.160 --> 0:36:04.920
<v Speaker 2>was surrounded by great talent, and so my football career

0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:07.440
<v Speaker 2>just took off. We won the first three Fiesta Bowls.

0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 2>We led the nation in scoring and offense. And so

0:36:12.719 --> 0:36:15.879
<v Speaker 2>my senior year I didn't even play baseball. I tell

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:18.239
<v Speaker 2>the story in the book about striking out to make

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:22.080
<v Speaker 2>the last out of the College World Series. That's a

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 2>story not many people know about until now, and but

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 2>that was the last time I played baseball.

0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:32.080
<v Speaker 3>If you would have if they would have let you hit,

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 3>then you wouldn't have struck.

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Out though, if it would have let me swing at

0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 2>And I was one of those guys that did everything

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 2>the coach. You know, there are times, and I learned

0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 2>this kind of the hard way, when you as a

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:50.759
<v Speaker 2>quarterback or as an athlete, you have to do what

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 2>you feel and not what the coach tells you to do.

0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:57.879
<v Speaker 2>And that was one of those times. The last play

0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 2>of the forty nine er game Championship game after the

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 2>catch was another one of those times when I always

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:06.400
<v Speaker 2>had done what I felt instead of what coach Landry

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:10.799
<v Speaker 2>told me to do. So there are times like that

0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:13.920
<v Speaker 2>when you just got to go with with your feel

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 2>and that that was one of those times that I

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 2>had a two and o count and a fastball was coming,

0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:24.600
<v Speaker 2>and I could hit any fastball. Nolan Ryan couldn't throw

0:37:24.640 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 2>one by me, but I couldn't. If it broke a

0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:29.359
<v Speaker 2>quarter of an inch, I couldn't hit it.

0:37:29.400 --> 0:37:30.800
<v Speaker 5>That's why you became a quarterback.

0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:33.880
<v Speaker 2>That's why I became a quarterback. I'd still be riding

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:37.160
<v Speaker 2>around on a bus in West Texas playing minor league

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:40.560
<v Speaker 2>baseball if I hadn't been for that. I could hit

0:37:40.600 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 2>a curveball, but uh yeah, the next two pitches were curves.

0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:46.920
<v Speaker 2>And that was the end of my baseball career.

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:47.600
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:49.240
<v Speaker 6>You you mentioned.

0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 4>Things about how things you were fortunate, how things fell

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:57.719
<v Speaker 4>for you, and I thought, the interesting thing, and I

0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:00.239
<v Speaker 4>think this is indicative of some of the story, as

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 4>you told in the book, is how you met your wife,

0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:09.200
<v Speaker 4>the mother of your children, and how important family became

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:12.960
<v Speaker 4>to you. And I thought, maybe you can tell the

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:16.799
<v Speaker 4>story of of when you first met her.

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Are you talking about our first day? Yes, yeah, we

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:27.840
<v Speaker 2>had just met. They just moved into town from Canada,

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:32.080
<v Speaker 2>and and I'll tell this pretty quickly, but it was

0:38:32.160 --> 0:38:34.640
<v Speaker 2>homecoming and I asked her to go to homecoming with me,

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and we we didn't even know each other hardly, and

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:40.239
<v Speaker 2>she was not a big football fan. And I got

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:42.400
<v Speaker 2>kicked in the head by one of my own players

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:45.920
<v Speaker 2>early in the game, and I was out, I mean

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:50.439
<v Speaker 2>I was out, and concussion and and all that went home.

0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm sitting on it in front of the TV, watching

0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:57.480
<v Speaker 2>watching television. Mom walks in and says, Danny, didn't you

0:38:57.520 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 2>have a date with that new girl tonight? And I said, Mom,

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:04.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember anything. So she said, well, I better

0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 2>call him, And so she and joe Lyne had been

0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:12.000
<v Speaker 2>sitting there in her dress and all made up. She

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:14.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't go the game. She didn't know what happened. And

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:19.000
<v Speaker 2>now it's like eleven o'clock at night. And anyway, my

0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:22.040
<v Speaker 2>dad ended up driving me over and picking her because

0:39:22.040 --> 0:39:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't drive with Mike with a concussion. Picked her

0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 2>up and we went down to Bob's Big Boy on

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Main Street in Mates and went in and I bought

0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:35.759
<v Speaker 2>he of Hamburger, and my dad sat in the car

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and waited for us, and we went back out. He

0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:40.239
<v Speaker 2>took us home and that was our first day. The

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.879
<v Speaker 2>next day, I didn't remember a thing about it, and that.

0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 5>Led to forty six years of marriage.

0:39:45.960 --> 0:39:49.839
<v Speaker 2>I must have done something right, I say, And how

0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 2>many kids? Four? Four kids? Sixteen grandkids? And then and

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:59.359
<v Speaker 2>then I just got remarried. She passed away six years

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:04.239
<v Speaker 2>ago from brain cancer. And then and then I remarried

0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 2>two years ago. And Linda has fifteen grandkids, so we

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:13.799
<v Speaker 2>have thirty one between us and nine kids, and life

0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:15.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of started all over again.

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:16.399
<v Speaker 6>You have lost.

0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Those are the kind of things. Those are the kind

0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 2>of things I'm talking about that are that are really

0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:27.600
<v Speaker 2>really important to me anyway. And my football career is

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:28.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of just a blur now.

0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:31.760
<v Speaker 6>And the poetry part too, right.

0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I loved. I loved because that was how I

0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 2>trained my brain for Landry's game plans. You know, we'd

0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:41.360
<v Speaker 2>get a game plan on Tuesday night and had to

0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 2>have it memorized Wednesday for offensive day, and he would

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:47.959
<v Speaker 2>change things up every week. He'd never run the same

0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:51.080
<v Speaker 2>play from the same formation two weeks in a row,

0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:54.839
<v Speaker 2>so we had to be able to memorize. And and

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that was back before players had receivers in their helmet

0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:01.239
<v Speaker 2>and that you know, the to just talk to him

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 2>and call the play. That's probably the biggest thing that's

0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:06.759
<v Speaker 2>changed in the game since I played, at least the

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:11.160
<v Speaker 2>quarterback position is being able to talk to the quarterback well,

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:13.480
<v Speaker 2>so we have signals and we had to memorize all

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:17.719
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. So I would train my brain by memorizing

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:22.799
<v Speaker 2>poetry and I some of those not only were they

0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:28.280
<v Speaker 2>great to memorize, but they were inspirational as well.

0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:31.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, Uh, just reading reading the book, and uh,

0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I love how transparent both you and Heather Joe are

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:37.920
<v Speaker 3>about the tragedies that have happened in your life.

0:41:37.960 --> 0:41:40.680
<v Speaker 5>You mentioned, uh, Joe Lynn's brain cancer, and.

0:41:40.640 --> 0:41:43.319
<v Speaker 3>I think for a lot of people it will help

0:41:43.400 --> 0:41:46.759
<v Speaker 3>them who are dealing with with things like that. I've

0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:50.160
<v Speaker 3>got a good friend it just was diagnosed, and you know,

0:41:50.680 --> 0:41:55.880
<v Speaker 3>uh that sort of thing. This book. I bring that

0:41:55.960 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 3>up to say that this this book goes far beyond football.

0:41:59.680 --> 0:42:01.839
<v Speaker 3>They're so many life lessons and one of the things

0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:06.959
<v Speaker 3>I love. I've three daughters coached him in basketball. Heather

0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 3>Joe told a story on page one, twenty six. She said,

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:14.400
<v Speaker 3>my parents are my biggest ride and die. I was

0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 3>playing in a basketball game one time when I stole

0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:20.440
<v Speaker 3>the ball headed for a fast break as my defender turned,

0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:22.879
<v Speaker 3>I caught her foot on mine and took a good dive,

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:28.440
<v Speaker 3>cracking my head loud on the hardwood. The referees didn't

0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:31.360
<v Speaker 3>stop the game, didn't even blow a whistle. Instead of

0:42:31.360 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 3>attending to me, they were focused on the game. So

0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:36.160
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of the game, my dad stormed the court.

0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Words were exchanged, and he was asked to exit the gym.

0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:44.719
<v Speaker 3>Your biggest fans should be concerned about one thing, you.

0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:47.520
<v Speaker 3>I guess I should have said there was an attempt

0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:48.839
<v Speaker 3>to throw him out of the game.

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:53.799
<v Speaker 2>They weren't successful, exactly right, Bill. I told them. I

0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:56.840
<v Speaker 2>told them they better go get the Arizona National Guard

0:42:57.239 --> 0:42:58.799
<v Speaker 2>if they think they're going to give me that, because

0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:01.759
<v Speaker 2>I was sitting right behind him other she was on

0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 2>the bench, and I mean, if you could have heard that,

0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:09.160
<v Speaker 2>the echo of her head getting the floor, I just

0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:12.600
<v Speaker 2>I freaked out, you know, and I did. I just

0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:15.000
<v Speaker 2>ran straight out into the middle of the game. And

0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:19.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't wonder you guys doing stop the game. And they, yeah,

0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:21.760
<v Speaker 2>they they tried to kick me out, but they didn't.

0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. Budge wasn't about.

0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:27.240
<v Speaker 5>She said, they let you stay in the gym.

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:29.839
<v Speaker 3>I was fine by the way our trainer took care

0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 3>of me while dad and the ref were facing off.

0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:38.360
<v Speaker 5>That made me feel better about my antics as a

0:43:38.400 --> 0:43:39.640
<v Speaker 5>youth basketball coach.

0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:44.719
<v Speaker 2>In the reference, parents can be the worst, can't they?

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Or the best?

0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Again, it's a great example of there's stuff for parents

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:50.879
<v Speaker 3>in here too.

0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:53.040
<v Speaker 6>I love this, I was gonna say, and me too.

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:58.320
<v Speaker 4>Trying to help coach junior high fast pits girls software

0:43:59.120 --> 0:44:02.120
<v Speaker 4>and I to get thrown out of a game one time.

0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I tried to help Joe Germaine here coach high school.

0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I got. I got thrown out of two games. I

0:44:13.440 --> 0:44:16.200
<v Speaker 2>had to go sit up in the booth and coach

0:44:16.239 --> 0:44:19.160
<v Speaker 2>from the boot because I just couldn't handle the officiated

0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:24.480
<v Speaker 2>high school officiating. Just oh my gosh. Yeah, yeah, that's tough.

0:44:25.960 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, and so now in your retirement life, are you

0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:33.200
<v Speaker 3>keeping just as busy as you ever were?

0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:37.440
<v Speaker 2>No? I hope not.

0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, you got how many grandchildren?

0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Thirty one?

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:43.840
<v Speaker 3>There's got to be tons of games you have to

0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:45.800
<v Speaker 3>get to, right every Saturday.

0:44:45.840 --> 0:44:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Saturday Saturday is I mean, Linda goes one way and

0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I go the other way, and we divide and conquer

0:44:52.719 --> 0:44:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and try to get it done. But yeah, I'm then

0:44:56.040 --> 0:44:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Sunday afternoon dinners and and uh, there's a lot of

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:03.520
<v Speaker 2>stuff going on. But you know what, I went for

0:45:03.600 --> 0:45:08.880
<v Speaker 2>a number of years by myself, and fortunately I had

0:45:09.080 --> 0:45:13.719
<v Speaker 2>my kids, you know, around me. But I'm not one

0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:17.239
<v Speaker 2>of those guys. Some guys can live by themselves. I'm

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:24.360
<v Speaker 2>not one of them. So I'll take it. I'll I'll

0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:29.280
<v Speaker 2>take of being busy any day over just having nothing

0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:45:31.280 --> 0:45:32.120
<v Speaker 5>And grandparenting.

0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 3>You know the importance of the parents and the grandparents

0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 3>being at the games because you lived it with your

0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:38.879
<v Speaker 3>great parents that you had.

0:45:40.760 --> 0:45:43.560
<v Speaker 6>Well, do you have a roster on your refrigerator? What

0:45:43.640 --> 0:45:44.520
<v Speaker 6>everybody's name?

0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:49.799
<v Speaker 2>All the grandkids have it in my phone? Yeah, not

0:45:49.920 --> 0:45:52.160
<v Speaker 2>on the fridge. I can't carry that fridge around in

0:45:52.160 --> 0:45:54.160
<v Speaker 2>the car with me. I gotta have it with me

0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:58.120
<v Speaker 2>at all times. But you know, I just personally, I

0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:01.560
<v Speaker 2>think it's one of the real problems in our society

0:46:01.600 --> 0:46:06.480
<v Speaker 2>and our culture today is just parents. Either they're not

0:46:06.600 --> 0:46:10.960
<v Speaker 2>there at all, or they're too soft, or you know,

0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I've got an answer for everything, and that's that's one

0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:21.319
<v Speaker 2>of my answers, is parenting. Good parenting will solve a

0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of problems.

0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think people need to be able to read

0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:32.640
<v Speaker 4>your book. So it's Danny White Spotlight and Shadows.

0:46:32.680 --> 0:46:33.520
<v Speaker 6>And you can go to.

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 4>Amazon dot com and you can get a copy on Kindle.

0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:43.320
<v Speaker 4>You can get a hardcover copy or a paper back copy.

0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:48.720
<v Speaker 4>And I suggest that if you're interested in a career.

0:46:48.480 --> 0:46:50.920
<v Speaker 6>That Danny White made for himself.

0:46:52.520 --> 0:46:55.640
<v Speaker 4>And the family he raised and how he was raised

0:46:55.640 --> 0:46:59.400
<v Speaker 4>by a very strict father, I think you would enjoy

0:46:59.480 --> 0:46:59.960

<v Speaker 5>I love it.

0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:19.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to read it again. I just I was

0:47:19.560 --> 0:47:21.880
<v Speaker 3>able to. Like I said, go slow down. I can

0:47:22.040 --> 0:47:23.920
<v Speaker 3>slow down and take it all in.

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:24.920
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:26.920

<v Speaker 2>And while well, I'm impressed. Bill, you're one of those

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:37.600
<v Speaker 2>guys that can read with one eye closed. I guess

0:47:37.239 --> 0:47:38.200
<v Speaker 2>that's great.

0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:41.400
<v Speaker 4>And by the way, kudos to Heather too. I thought

0:47:41.440 --> 0:47:45.480
<v Speaker 4>her insight in the book was invaluable. She's She's spot

0:47:45.560 --> 0:47:52.279
<v Speaker 4>on with her memories and how that affected the relationship.

0:47:51.560 --> 0:47:53.960
<v Speaker 6>You had with your daughter, how it affected her life.

0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I am just a little bit proud of her.

0:47:57.680 --> 0:47:59.400
<v Speaker 6>I could imagine.

0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:03.960

<v Speaker 3>All Right, final segment here mixed shots, got nine minutes left.

0:51:19.760 --> 0:51:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Great to have Danny White on and I'm serious, that's

0:51:23.800 --> 0:51:27.879
<v Speaker 3>make sure you've especially you're Danny White fan going back

0:51:27.920 --> 0:51:29.919
<v Speaker 3>to when he was playing for the Cowboys. I think

0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:34.200
<v Speaker 3>this book is well worth it. It gives you an

0:51:34.200 --> 0:51:38.799
<v Speaker 3>insight into Danny the person and his family, and there

0:51:38.840 --> 0:51:40.480
<v Speaker 3>are a lot of life lessons in that.

0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:43.120
<v Speaker 4>Book, and he had and he was right, He had

0:51:43.120 --> 0:51:46.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot of fortunate things happen for him to end

0:51:46.640 --> 0:51:52.480
<v Speaker 4>up being. You know, the Cowboys started off as the

0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:58.960
<v Speaker 4>punter right after he started his career at WFL World

0:51:58.960 --> 0:52:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Football League with the Memphis.

0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:04.680
<v Speaker 3>The show Memphis Southmans.

0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:09.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was a weird name. Anyway, two years there

0:52:10.080 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 4>the league folded. The Cowboys had taken and they knew

0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:18.160
<v Speaker 4>he'd signed a personal services contract with the Southmen, and

0:52:19.680 --> 0:52:23.480
<v Speaker 4>the Cowboys took a third year, a third round flyer

0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:27.719
<v Speaker 4>on him, thinking that the WFL would eventually fold, which

0:52:27.719 --> 0:52:31.840
<v Speaker 4>it did, and in seventy six he came to the Cowboys.

0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:40.359
<v Speaker 4>And how fortunate was he by landing with the Cowboys

0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:46.320
<v Speaker 4>and as the backup quarterback that year they had traded

0:52:46.360 --> 0:52:51.000
<v Speaker 4>away Craig Morton and Clint Longley was the backup gets

0:52:51.040 --> 0:52:55.480
<v Speaker 4>in the infamous fight in the locker room with Roger Staubach,

0:52:56.000 --> 0:52:59.800
<v Speaker 4>he leaves, the Cowboys get rid of him, and suddenly

0:53:00.200 --> 0:53:04.480
<v Speaker 4>he's the backup quarterback in nineteen seventy six, and the

0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:05.560
<v Speaker 4>punter too, by the.

0:53:05.560 --> 0:53:07.160
<v Speaker 5>Way, that's right, all right.

0:53:07.680 --> 0:53:12.240
<v Speaker 3>In our final few minutes some things to talk about.

0:53:12.920 --> 0:53:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Of course, the annual NFL Annual meetings happened last week

0:53:17.160 --> 0:53:19.920
<v Speaker 3>since we got together. They were in the middle of

0:53:19.960 --> 0:53:20.600
<v Speaker 3>the meetings when.

0:53:20.520 --> 0:53:21.040
<v Speaker 5>We write it.

0:53:21.239 --> 0:53:23.080
<v Speaker 3>That's right last Monday.

0:53:24.520 --> 0:53:32.359
<v Speaker 5>The rules were they've tabled the tush push till May.

0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:34.680
<v Speaker 3>I think they're going to be able to word that

0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:37.719
<v Speaker 3>where we're not going to see the tush push done

0:53:37.960 --> 0:53:38.480
<v Speaker 3>the way.

0:53:38.480 --> 0:53:42.560
<v Speaker 6>Well what they need to do, and this was a

0:53:42.600 --> 0:53:43.280
<v Speaker 6>simple fight.

0:53:43.480 --> 0:53:47.720
<v Speaker 4>My thought was, you just go back to the rule

0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:50.879
<v Speaker 4>that was in the NFL through two thousand and four

0:53:51.440 --> 0:53:56.600
<v Speaker 4>that there was no pushing players from behind, and that

0:53:56.600 --> 0:53:59.880
<v Speaker 4>that encompasses the running back going up the middle and

0:54:00.120 --> 0:54:03.520
<v Speaker 4>five offensive linemen getting behind him and all of a

0:54:03.560 --> 0:54:08.000
<v Speaker 4>sudden it keeps going, going and going. That's where it's dangerous.

0:54:08.040 --> 0:54:11.360
<v Speaker 4>Somebody's gonna get hurt doing that, and that would include

0:54:11.440 --> 0:54:15.479
<v Speaker 4>the tush push. So it's not like I'm outlawing one

0:54:15.640 --> 0:54:16.960
<v Speaker 4>team's play and.

0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:19.440
<v Speaker 3>The Eagles or anyone else they can line up like

0:54:19.480 --> 0:54:22.279
<v Speaker 3>they they've done the tush push. You just can't put

0:54:22.320 --> 0:54:25.400
<v Speaker 3>someone behind the quarterback pushing them right exactly. All you

0:54:25.480 --> 0:54:27.719
<v Speaker 3>have to do to change the rule, and whether it's

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:30.200
<v Speaker 3>a quarterback or any other spot on the field. You

0:54:30.239 --> 0:54:32.040
<v Speaker 3>can't push a player forward.

0:54:32.120 --> 0:54:35.720
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's what and even Roger Goodell pointed

0:54:35.760 --> 0:54:39.239
<v Speaker 4>that out. He brought up the other pushes that go

0:54:39.360 --> 0:54:42.000
<v Speaker 4>on because the defense can't get pushed.

0:54:41.920 --> 0:54:44.560
<v Speaker 5>And it doesn't even have to be a penalty.

0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:44.920
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:54:45.239 --> 0:54:48.000
<v Speaker 3>What you can do is it's almost like forward progress.

0:54:48.040 --> 0:54:50.680
<v Speaker 3>A guy dash is from behind, that's that's where that's

0:54:50.719 --> 0:54:56.160
<v Speaker 3>where it's marked. That play's over, that's where it's run

0:54:56.200 --> 0:54:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the next down from.

0:54:57.080 --> 0:54:59.160
<v Speaker 4>And the other rule changes they did, I'm all for,

0:55:00.800 --> 0:55:04.440
<v Speaker 4>why would you have one rule for overtime in the

0:55:04.480 --> 0:55:07.640
<v Speaker 4>playoffs and not have it during the regular season where

0:55:07.680 --> 0:55:10.080
<v Speaker 4>each team gets a possession.

0:55:11.080 --> 0:55:12.760
<v Speaker 6>So that passed.

0:55:13.920 --> 0:55:17.479
<v Speaker 3>The touchbacks out to the thirty five yards which will

0:55:17.480 --> 0:55:19.280
<v Speaker 3>help be significant.

0:55:18.680 --> 0:55:23.239
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And then and then giving more jurisdiction to the

0:55:24.600 --> 0:55:30.600
<v Speaker 4>video replay assist from the official up in the booth

0:55:31.239 --> 0:55:33.960
<v Speaker 4>that all he has to do is see something's wrong

0:55:34.520 --> 0:55:36.960
<v Speaker 4>and buzz down and say, hey, fix this.

0:55:37.120 --> 0:55:40.040
<v Speaker 6>It doesn't have to be challenged. We don't need a replay.

0:55:40.440 --> 0:55:43.760
<v Speaker 4>You either missed the call or you got the call wrong.

0:55:43.920 --> 0:55:48.279
<v Speaker 4>And they expanded what that guy can do up in

0:55:48.360 --> 0:55:51.760
<v Speaker 4>the in the coach in the basically the replay booth.

0:55:52.800 --> 0:55:55.360
<v Speaker 3>All Right, as I mentioned off the top of the show,

0:55:55.400 --> 0:56:00.960
<v Speaker 3>I've been I've been able to really aren't filling up

0:56:01.000 --> 0:56:04.080
<v Speaker 3>my big green notebook looking at these prospects. And I

0:56:04.280 --> 0:56:08.719
<v Speaker 3>actually love this time in my process because there's a

0:56:08.719 --> 0:56:11.120
<v Speaker 3>certain I've got so many other things I have to

0:56:11.160 --> 0:56:14.160
<v Speaker 3>do it. I'm not like the Brian Brodis's and Dame

0:56:14.200 --> 0:56:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Bruglers of the world, who can go ahead and do

0:56:16.080 --> 0:56:19.200
<v Speaker 3>it a lot of bills like yemens and all that,

0:56:19.719 --> 0:56:22.200
<v Speaker 3>and so now's the time, and this is when I

0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:25.400
<v Speaker 3>get really interested. And so I just if I'm not

0:56:25.680 --> 0:56:28.160
<v Speaker 3>staying up late reading Danny White's book, I'm staying.

0:56:28.000 --> 0:56:29.600
<v Speaker 5>Up late looking at draft prospects.

0:56:30.280 --> 0:56:33.160
<v Speaker 3>And just like on Friday afternoon, I'm going through these

0:56:33.200 --> 0:56:36.359
<v Speaker 3>wide receivers, and I'm not going through the top wrong

0:56:36.440 --> 0:56:41.040
<v Speaker 3>wide receivers. I'm Okay, what options do the Cowboys have

0:56:41.520 --> 0:56:44.359
<v Speaker 3>in the mid rounds with wide receivers? And you have

0:56:44.440 --> 0:56:47.160
<v Speaker 3>to know this stuff to know whether you have to

0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:49.840
<v Speaker 3>take that Tep McMillan in the first round or Matthew

0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Golden in the first round. Well, can you fill another

0:56:52.760 --> 0:56:56.600
<v Speaker 3>position there? If every if all things being equal, if

0:56:56.640 --> 0:57:00.520
<v Speaker 3>you're choosing between a wide receiver or a corner back

0:57:00.719 --> 0:57:04.319
<v Speaker 3>or line back or whatever it might be. You got

0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:07.120
<v Speaker 3>to know how deep the positions are throughout the draft.

0:57:07.160 --> 0:57:10.360
<v Speaker 3>And so I'm going through on one page here, I

0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:13.759
<v Speaker 3>got four wide receivers that are probably projected to be

0:57:13.800 --> 0:57:16.840
<v Speaker 3>anywhere from third to fifth round picks. I'm going I

0:57:17.000 --> 0:57:19.439
<v Speaker 3>like that guy. Oh, I like that guy. I mean,

0:57:19.520 --> 0:57:25.040
<v Speaker 3>there's a bunch of guys that now can they And

0:57:25.080 --> 0:57:29.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking at guys who can eventually be number two receivers. Obviously,

0:57:29.840 --> 0:57:32.640
<v Speaker 3>if you're looking for someone who can be a CD Lamb,

0:57:32.680 --> 0:57:34.760
<v Speaker 3>it's probably going to be a first round pick. Now,

0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:37.680
<v Speaker 3>there are occasions Pookin Nakua, who was a fifth round

0:57:37.680 --> 0:57:41.200
<v Speaker 3>pick and it's now the number one receiver along with

0:57:41.280 --> 0:57:44.360
<v Speaker 3>DeVante Adams with the rams he had, Amen Ross Saint

0:57:44.400 --> 0:57:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Brown who was a fourth round pick for the Lions

0:57:46.560 --> 0:57:50.080
<v Speaker 3>who emerged as a top rung receiver, Stefan Diggs going

0:57:50.160 --> 0:57:53.400
<v Speaker 3>back further, and so you can find guys like that.

0:57:53.840 --> 0:57:56.360
<v Speaker 6>Just percentages aren't with right right.

0:57:56.560 --> 0:58:00.600
<v Speaker 3>But you can find good quality receivers in the third

0:58:00.680 --> 0:58:04.320
<v Speaker 3>the fifth rounds, and the same goes for other positions.

0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:07.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this draft you've got a bunch of defensive linemen.

0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:11.480
<v Speaker 3>You've got a bunch of edge rushers that can be contributors.

0:58:11.960 --> 0:58:14.640
<v Speaker 3>And really, the way I look at it is, I'm

0:58:14.680 --> 0:58:17.480
<v Speaker 3>looking at guys not so much for this year, although

0:58:17.520 --> 0:58:20.480
<v Speaker 3>you want them to contribute their rookie year when you're

0:58:20.520 --> 0:58:23.240
<v Speaker 3>talking about mid round guys, but who are guys that

0:58:23.400 --> 0:58:26.360
<v Speaker 3>can eventually be a starter in this league. They can

0:58:26.360 --> 0:58:29.960
<v Speaker 3>fill a role right now and then like what the

0:58:30.000 --> 0:58:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Cowboys did four years ago getting OsO, Digga Zua and

0:58:32.880 --> 0:58:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Chauncey Golston. And Osa came on quicker than Golston did,

0:58:37.040 --> 0:58:38.840
<v Speaker 3>but we saw what Golston was able to do this

0:58:38.920 --> 0:58:41.960
<v Speaker 3>last year. There are a bunch of players like that

0:58:41.960 --> 0:58:45.840
<v Speaker 3>that you can get on the defensive line in the

0:58:45.880 --> 0:58:46.400
<v Speaker 3>third round.

0:58:46.720 --> 0:58:47.960
<v Speaker 6>And that's what.

0:58:49.680 --> 0:58:53.720
<v Speaker 4>Especially that second day, the second and third round picks.

0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:58.360
<v Speaker 4>And again, so I had asked you the question the

0:58:58.440 --> 0:59:02.960
<v Speaker 4>depth of those positions, which of those positions the Cowboys

0:59:03.000 --> 0:59:06.040
<v Speaker 4>would be interest has the least amount of depth that

0:59:06.120 --> 0:59:08.720
<v Speaker 4>you'd say you better get that guy in the first one.

0:59:08.760 --> 0:59:10.919
<v Speaker 5>Well, and then where's yeah, where's the drop off?

0:59:11.200 --> 0:59:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Right? And and see you look at the running back

0:59:14.040 --> 0:59:21.520
<v Speaker 3>position and it's a deep draft of good running backs. Okay,

0:59:21.680 --> 0:59:24.120
<v Speaker 3>now it's going to be interesting to see how quickly

0:59:24.200 --> 0:59:26.840
<v Speaker 3>they start coming off the board because it's a deep

0:59:26.960 --> 0:59:28.640
<v Speaker 3>draft of good running backs, right.

0:59:28.720 --> 0:59:29.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:59:29.000 --> 0:59:32.840
<v Speaker 3>However, I'm thinking that some of those running backs are

0:59:32.880 --> 0:59:35.120
<v Speaker 3>so good that teams are going to think, well, I

0:59:35.240 --> 0:59:37.120
<v Speaker 3>don't want to wait all the way to the fourth round.

0:59:37.200 --> 0:59:39.080
<v Speaker 3>I got to get my guy in the second or

0:59:39.120 --> 0:59:42.520
<v Speaker 3>third round otherwise, because we love these guys so much.

0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:46.800
<v Speaker 4>Thanks to Saquon Barkley, by the way, well now showing

0:59:46.840 --> 0:59:49.600
<v Speaker 4>how important the running back can be, yep.

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:51.760
<v Speaker 5>And wide receivers.

0:59:51.760 --> 0:59:56.640
<v Speaker 3>They might wait on wide receivers because you have of

0:59:56.680 --> 0:59:59.680
<v Speaker 3>those top one hundred type players or to say, top

0:59:59.720 --> 1:00:04.120
<v Speaker 3>fifth d type players you probably for the first time

1:00:04.680 --> 1:00:07.480
<v Speaker 3>have in a while. You've got more running backs than

1:00:07.520 --> 1:00:11.040
<v Speaker 3>wide receivers. Probably that or at least that many that

1:00:11.120 --> 1:00:12.680
<v Speaker 3>fit into that mix.

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:14.480
<v Speaker 6>Where do cornerbacks fit in?

1:00:16.360 --> 1:00:18.920
<v Speaker 3>You know, I haven't I haven't dug deep enough into

1:00:18.960 --> 1:00:21.560
<v Speaker 3>the depth of the cornerbacks yet, but I mean there

1:00:21.560 --> 1:00:24.240
<v Speaker 3>are good cornerbacks and one that the Cowboys need to

1:00:24.280 --> 1:00:27.520
<v Speaker 3>really consider in the first round. Who you looked at

1:00:27.640 --> 1:00:31.560
<v Speaker 3>down in Austin, John A. Barn and what I like

1:00:31.600 --> 1:00:34.640
<v Speaker 3>about him? As much as anything beyond what I see

1:00:34.640 --> 1:00:38.400
<v Speaker 3>on film. He checks all the boxes as far as

1:00:38.560 --> 1:00:46.760
<v Speaker 3>being a quality, high character, smart player who is a

1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:49.440
<v Speaker 3>barring injury, I think is going to have a long career.

1:00:49.560 --> 1:00:52.840
<v Speaker 4>And the thing that stood out to me most just

1:00:52.960 --> 1:00:56.800
<v Speaker 4>listening to his interview afterwards was his confidence.

1:00:57.320 --> 1:00:58.880
<v Speaker 6>This is a confident.

1:00:58.480 --> 1:01:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Guy and if your cornerback, you better have that because

1:01:03.080 --> 1:01:06.080
<v Speaker 4>you are going to get beat. So how do you

1:01:06.240 --> 1:01:07.919
<v Speaker 4>respond to that?

1:01:08.000 --> 1:01:10.720
<v Speaker 3>And think of the competition that he's gone up against,

1:01:10.840 --> 1:01:13.360
<v Speaker 3>especially this year in the SEC and then in the

1:01:13.360 --> 1:01:16.680
<v Speaker 3>College Football Playoff. Not only this year but also last year.

1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>He went up against those Oregon guys in the in

1:01:18.920 --> 1:01:21.440
<v Speaker 3>the National semifinal last year in Oregon had all those

1:01:21.480 --> 1:01:26.000
<v Speaker 3>good wide receivers. This year going up against Ohio State,

1:01:27.120 --> 1:01:31.200
<v Speaker 3>and so you have some real tape to look at

1:01:31.480 --> 1:01:36.120
<v Speaker 3>against NFL quality players, and so you make a good

1:01:36.200 --> 1:01:37.320
<v Speaker 3>judgment on someone like.

1:01:37.280 --> 1:01:42.240
<v Speaker 4>Beer and a lot of that position seemingly is getting

1:01:42.320 --> 1:01:48.120
<v Speaker 4>overlooked because you lose Jordan Lewis the Cowboys right now,

1:01:48.280 --> 1:01:52.800
<v Speaker 4>if they're going to start whenever, it's Doron Bland and

1:01:52.840 --> 1:01:54.800
<v Speaker 4>tell me who you know.

1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:55.560
<v Speaker 6>I know they.

1:01:55.480 --> 1:02:01.480
<v Speaker 4>Traded for a career Kyral, but this is a guy

1:02:01.640 --> 1:02:04.360
<v Speaker 4>that you know, Okay is a former high pick, but

1:02:04.640 --> 1:02:08.640
<v Speaker 4>he hasn't really bled a drop in the league so far,

1:02:09.160 --> 1:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>and so I don't think they can sit there and

1:02:12.280 --> 1:02:14.920
<v Speaker 4>say Trayvon Diggs is going to be ready to go

1:02:15.080 --> 1:02:16.960
<v Speaker 4>for the opening of the season.

1:02:17.040 --> 1:02:19.080
<v Speaker 3>And I think you got to look at both Diggs

1:02:19.120 --> 1:02:23.320
<v Speaker 3>and Overshown as guys that in your own mind as

1:02:23.360 --> 1:02:27.040
<v Speaker 3>you're planning out this year, is what are you doing

1:02:27.280 --> 1:02:30.800
<v Speaker 3>at cornerback and linebackers right? Because you cannot count on

1:02:30.880 --> 1:02:32.440
<v Speaker 3>them being there the first half of that And.

1:02:32.840 --> 1:02:35.840
<v Speaker 4>I think for sure Overshown he's not going to get

1:02:35.880 --> 1:02:39.160
<v Speaker 4>back in time. He'll be on pup to start the season.

1:02:39.400 --> 1:02:43.360
<v Speaker 4>He'll be on pup to start training camp. And Trayvon Diggs,

1:02:44.840 --> 1:02:46.560
<v Speaker 4>you know we're going to see here in a in

1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:50.520
<v Speaker 4>a little bit if when they start their offseason program,

1:02:50.720 --> 1:02:52.320
<v Speaker 4>is he here rehabbing.

1:02:53.400 --> 1:02:54.520
<v Speaker 6>I see Dak every day.

1:02:54.560 --> 1:02:56.600
<v Speaker 3>But I do think your first round pick has to

1:02:56.640 --> 1:02:58.160
<v Speaker 3>be a guy who can step on the field and

1:02:58.200 --> 1:03:00.640
<v Speaker 3>place absolutely and start immediately.

1:03:01.280 --> 1:03:02.720
<v Speaker 5>Picking at number twelve.

1:03:02.640 --> 1:03:05.640
<v Speaker 4>And the second round guy too, when we're looking at

1:03:05.720 --> 1:03:07.960
<v Speaker 4>defensive lineman also, which we didn't.

1:03:07.760 --> 1:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Even well it'd been in a rotation on the defensive

1:03:10.280 --> 1:03:13.320
<v Speaker 3>linefe So yeah, yeah, because I don't think just like

1:03:13.400 --> 1:03:14.480
<v Speaker 3>mcneiland last year.

1:03:14.520 --> 1:03:16.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he was in a rotation last year.

1:03:16.600 --> 1:03:19.120
<v Speaker 4>And so now if he can step up and be

1:03:19.280 --> 1:03:23.760
<v Speaker 4>a guy, right, and Sam Williams comes back as the

1:03:23.760 --> 1:03:25.800
<v Speaker 4>player they thought they were going to have until he

1:03:25.880 --> 1:03:30.160
<v Speaker 4>tore his acl and Micah Parsons which we didn't even

1:03:30.200 --> 1:03:31.320
<v Speaker 4>touch all that business.

1:03:31.360 --> 1:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>But even as far as the edge rushers going, I know,

1:03:33.040 --> 1:03:34.600
<v Speaker 3>we're out of time here. Even as far as the

1:03:34.680 --> 1:03:36.720
<v Speaker 3>edge rushers go, you got to keep in mind, and

1:03:37.000 --> 1:03:40.440
<v Speaker 3>this is this ups the need for edge rushers, is

1:03:40.440 --> 1:03:42.520
<v Speaker 3>that Williams is in the last year of his contract.

1:03:42.600 --> 1:03:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Dante Fowlers on a one year deal as well, and.

1:03:46.360 --> 1:03:49.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, and he may be best as a rotation guy,

1:03:49.480 --> 1:03:50.680
<v Speaker 4>not having to play.

1:03:50.920 --> 1:03:52.120
<v Speaker 6>He had snaps a.

1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Game, yeah, and he and that's what he's been lately.

1:03:55.120 --> 1:03:58.480
<v Speaker 3>He had a little over five hundred snaps with Washington

1:03:58.560 --> 1:04:01.000
<v Speaker 3>last year, but the year before with Dallas he was

1:04:01.040 --> 1:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>around three hundred snaps. And that's basically what Sam Williams

1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>has topped out in the first two years of his career.

1:04:06.480 --> 1:04:09.320
<v Speaker 4>And even five hundred snaps, that's probably that's half of

1:04:09.480 --> 1:04:10.560
<v Speaker 4>thirty twenty five.

1:04:11.760 --> 1:04:12.560
<v Speaker 5>It's you.

1:04:12.560 --> 1:04:15.160
<v Speaker 3>You typically will get eleven hundred snaps in a season

1:04:15.360 --> 1:04:19.080
<v Speaker 3>on defense, and so that's about fifty percent of the

1:04:19.120 --> 1:04:22.160
<v Speaker 3>snaps anyway, all right, thanks to Danny White for joining

1:04:22.200 --> 1:04:24.760
<v Speaker 3>us here ever since. We'll be back next week and

1:04:24.800 --> 1:04:27.600
<v Speaker 3>we will see you again next Monday at eleven on

1:04:27.720 --> 1:04:28.360
