You 21 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: could go flight. You have some cowboy ties. Doug nuss 22 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Meyer's son, he's awfully good and headed to LSU. Garrett 23 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: nuss Meyer. Yeah, how about you, Everson Walls and your 24 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: SWBC mortgage studio. How are you doing? I am doing fine. 25 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm happy that the Cowboys have an extra day of preparation. 26 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna need it. Hopefully we can get some injured 27 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: guys back in there and show up our personnailed a 28 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm sure, Spag, we'll have an update on 29 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: who's going to be playing, what's going to be happening 30 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: right but Monday night, Well, since you brought it up, 31 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: you know the injury report yesterday of the guys that 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: weren't on injured reserve, trying to practice or on the 33 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: commissioner's reserve list, everybody was full in practice. Everson Griffin 34 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: missed for personal reasons, but my understanding is is he 35 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: back out there again today. So from that standpoint, all 36 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: as well, if they just can get the guys on 37 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: ir back on the field, and it sure sounds like 38 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: they're pretty optimistic about Layton Vanderish being ready to go 39 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: Monday night. He practiced yesterday. They were in pads today 40 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: and he was fully padded up and in the individual drills, 41 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: you know, he was he was thudding up with his pad. 42 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: So Mike McCarthy seemed optimistic and a lot I'll have 43 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: to do with as you guys know, when you've missed 44 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: time like that, you know, you get one practice. Now, 45 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: how do you feel the next day? And I think 46 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: that I'll have a lot to determine on if he's 47 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: ready to go Monday night. So how important would that 48 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: be if Layton vander esh is ready to go on 49 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: Monday night, in particular against this Arizona offense. Yeah, I 50 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: think just having him on the field, no matter who 51 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: you're playing, would be an upgrade from what they can do. 52 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: And it also gives them a little bit more flexibility 53 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: with Joe Thomas on what they ask him to do 54 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: if they might want him to if they want to 55 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: use a strong side linebacker, they can use him there. 56 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: They can rotate and not give vanders sixty snaps in 57 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the game after being out for five weeks, you know, 58 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: joke and come in on maybe nickel down something like that. 59 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: Have a little bit of a rotation, but just having 60 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: him on the field I think is huge for this team. 61 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: It'd be nice to be able to have an extra 62 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: linebacker out there as spags because you know, Joe Thomas 63 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: has been been playing very well. I think his recognition 64 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: has been there. He's played off of the aggressiveness of 65 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: the defensive lineman, especially in this last ball game. Of course, 66 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: he's got his weaknesses. We talked about him being more 67 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: of a strong side than a weak side, and that 68 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: really says a lot about his athleticism. So having Vanders 69 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: in there, to me, having that extra body is one thing, 70 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: but with his athleticism that Layton brings to the table, 71 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: you know, we could probably I'm hoping we can show 72 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: up the inside run as well as the zone recognition. 73 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: You heard Romo talk about the Cowboys secondary and I 74 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: meant to bring this up yesterday. He talked about the eyes. 75 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: You know, everyone has their own terminology on you know, 76 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: what they describe and whether it's your flaws or you know, 77 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: whether it's you're the good things you can do. One 78 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: thing the Cowboys problem is the deficit in their and 79 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: their past program is they don't recognize things they don't 80 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: see it. I saw one play I think it was 81 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: against the Giants Jalen Smith turned his back to the 82 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: quarterback in the zone. You don't turn your back to 83 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback in his zone. Your eyes should always be 84 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: facing the quarterback and of course trying to determine as 85 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: you view what's going on in your peripheral from the 86 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: wide receivers and tight ends what is developing. And that's 87 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: why we're not good on bubble screens. That's why we're 88 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: not good on pursuit because our eyes are not back 89 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: on the quarterback or back. Was a line of scrimmage 90 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: and pass play it best, something that we truly have 91 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: to work on it. Romo can see it as a commentator, 92 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: then of course other coaches see it and other quarterbacks 93 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: see it as well. Something that we really have to 94 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: work on. Right, So, what has the adjustment been like 95 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: for Jalen Smith? You think moving from middle linebacker to 96 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: the will linebacker this year obviously had his best game 97 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: against the Giants. Is as Mickey you pointed out earlier 98 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: in the week, is read and reaction was much better 99 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: in this game. Do you think it? What do you 100 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: think the biggest adjustment has been for him. Yeah, I 101 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: think it's been more recognition on what's getting ready to 102 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: happen before it happens. You know, the middle linebacker, you 103 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: know most of that there. You're you're reading what's going 104 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: on right in front of you. My understanding is that 105 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: he didn't play that position at Notre Dame and he's 106 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, and he certainly didn't play outside with the Cowboys, 107 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: So this was this was an adjustment for him that 108 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: I think he needed to make. Now we'll see if 109 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: last week was just one of those things, or he's 110 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: actually got this thing somewhat figured out and he's making 111 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: the adjustment to the week side. Because you're you're more 112 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: free to run to the ball, but you do have 113 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: some responsibilities on things you need to cover. And I 114 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: think he showed that this past game with the recognition 115 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: on the screen passes and the little flare passes to 116 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: the outside. So his reads were better and maybe he's 117 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: starting to understand what that takes because you know, you know, 118 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: he's always been out there with either Sean Lee or 119 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: Layton vander esh so this was a little bit of 120 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: an adjustment. Plus he had the burden of kind of 121 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: making the adjustments out there you know the calls. Everybody says, well, 122 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: he had to make the defensive calls. Well, I can 123 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: make the defensive calls because I could hear him in 124 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: my helmet, right, I just repeat what the coach says. 125 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: It's not like he's looking out there and going, Okay, 126 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do. But you have yeah, 127 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: you know what I want Mickey's personality. I don't think 128 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: Everson that Mickey could make the defensive calls because he 129 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: would have a problem with what the call was and 130 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: I'd make the adjustment and he would he would have 131 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: a discussion with the defensive coordinator about him, sure you 132 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: want to you can't make that call and this you 133 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: can't think, don't decipher. Just make the call. That's what 134 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: they would be saying in your helmet. That would be 135 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: in your helmet the entire time. Just make the call. 136 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: They would take the here aid out of my helmet, 137 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: I guarantee. But when you when you're talking about the 138 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: improvement from Jalen though, I must say his part of 139 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: his improvement was the fact that that that D line 140 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: was more recognizable than what they were doing as well, 141 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: so they had a lot to do with it. He had, 142 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: he didn't have as much garbage in his way. You know, 143 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: they kind of cleared the path for him, They plowed 144 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: the road for him in a lot of ways. A 145 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: linebackers just like a running bad guys. You depend on 146 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: your line. You depend on your line to help you out. 147 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: Just give me a just give me a crease, and 148 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: I'll take care of everything else. And that's pretty much 149 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: what Jalen did last week. He should be able to 150 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: do that again this week because I think the Cardinals 151 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: offensive line is in this array as well. They're not 152 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: running the ball well at all. They're a lot like 153 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: the Giant in regards to that. But of course you've 154 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: got Kyler Murray there as opposed to Daniel Jones. So 155 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking for him to continue his improvement. And I 156 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: don't want to give you a spoiler on my pick 157 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: to click, but definitely looking forward to that improvement. Yeah, 158 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: there's a matter of fact on their offensive line. They're 159 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: starting right guard j R. Sweezy was not practice yesterday, 160 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: so we'll see where that goes here the next two days. Yep. 161 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: He he only got in thirty seven snaps last week 162 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: against the Jets. You know, the other thing about a linebacker, 163 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: that will linebacker, you have to have a great peripheral 164 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: vision as well, almost like a running back like you know, 165 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: Tony Dorsett said that he used to to practice when 166 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: he drove his car, he would lose his peripheral vision. 167 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: He you know, see cars out and so. And as 168 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: a will linebacker, when you're reading a play, you also 169 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: have to be able to read where the blocks are 170 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: coming from, that tied end cracking back on you, or 171 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: or a pulling guard or something like that. And that's 172 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: one of the things that Sean Lee is able to 173 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: do so well. He can avoid a linebacker that's coming 174 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: out to block him because he's he's got that good vision. 175 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: People don't talk about that enough about I think as linebackers, 176 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: they got to have good vision too, all right. So 177 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: when it comes then to stopping the game that the 178 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals do have that is unique, and that is the 179 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: quarterback design runs zone read type plays. Who does that 180 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: put the pressure on on the Cowboys defense? Well, I 181 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: would I would think it puts it on the linebackers. 182 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: You know, your defensive front has a responsibility of at 183 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: least staying in their lanes, so not opening up gaps. 184 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: But if there's a gap, you know, the linebacker's got 185 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: to fill it. So I think that this is going 186 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: to be one of those deals where the as Everson said, 187 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: the defensive line in concert with the linebackers, and it might, 188 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, behoove them to drop a safety down into 189 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: the box quite a bit and maybe they play you 190 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: know that since they don't have a rugged running game. 191 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: Right the leading rusher Yon Drake fourteen, he's averaging three 192 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: point seven a yard. I mean the guy they go 193 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: to ends up being Murray soon Again, maybe you are 194 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: in nickel and you take your chance with the running back, 195 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: but if that safety's dropping in the box, boy, he'd 196 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: better keep an eye on the quarterback. He can't over commit. 197 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: You're looking at situational ball, guys. We talked about this, 198 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: uh I talked about this yesterday in regards to you know, 199 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: coaches being on top of it. There's certain situations where 200 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: we have to be successful. We talked about the end 201 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: of the quarters into the halfs things of that nature too, 202 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: minute drills, third and short fourth down, those kinds of 203 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: things where we have to prepare for some type of 204 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: trickery from from Kyler Murray. We're gonna look for them 205 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: to go heavy, heavy with d hop down the field. Uh, 206 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: they're kind of limited in what they can do as 207 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: far as intellectually now as far as making the they 208 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: can still make the plays. You're getting the red zone, 209 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: we know they're gonna be heavy. Fitzgerald, he's gonna be there, 210 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: tight end. Bill. You talked about that yesterday. So you 211 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: know there are things that we're just gonna have to 212 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: be aware of. That's all of this to it. The 213 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: pressure that we talked about from the zone blocking. If 214 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: they had the personnel to be really good at it, 215 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: then that could be a danger for us. But like 216 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: I said, I'm not sure if their offensive line really 217 00:13:25,160 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: has the personnel too. If the personnel that the defense 218 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: has out there. What's your take Mickey on what the 219 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys are trying to do defensively in some of the 220 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: personnel packages are putting out there. Well, I think that 221 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: in this case, it looks like the Cardinals will go 222 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: three wide the majority of the time. So that means 223 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: you're going to be in nickel and you may be 224 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: in dime a little more. You know, when you were 225 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: talking about snaps, they almost had a rotation going at 226 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: the cornerback positions too. If you look at the snaps 227 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: in the game, Jordan Lewis had seventy nine percent, Worly 228 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: had seventy five percent, Digs at seventy four percent, and 229 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: then you go down to Anthony Brown, who's playing the 230 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: first time in four weeks, and he had forty nine 231 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. So there were times where Diggs 232 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: was out, Brown was at corner, Whirley was at corner. 233 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis basically stays in the slot, and he needs 234 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: to pick up his game too. By the way, uh 235 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: since since I metted up his game and so so yeah, 236 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: and then you did. You kind of did the same 237 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: thing with the safeties switching around. You know. One of 238 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: the things I kind of liked the look was Thompson 239 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: was playing closer to the line of scrimmage. They were 240 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: playing a lot of single safety high too, trusting either 241 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: Parker or Donovan Wilson back there. But there was time 242 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson dropped into the slot also, so uh yeah, 243 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: they kind of mixed up their coverages a little bit. 244 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: And hey, give give those quarterbacks something to read, you know, 245 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: don't just assume let them go to the line of 246 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: scrimmage and assume what's getting ready to happen. So I 247 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: like the fact that they were in that dime as 248 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: long as they're in it when they know they're throwing 249 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: the ball and they're not trying to stop the run. 250 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: And also, think about it, we were, we were kind 251 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: of handcuffed by the personnel that we have available to us. 252 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: So I'm you know, we we'll always playing nickel and dime, 253 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure, but you know, there are times when we 254 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: wanted to play as of course the Cleveland game, and 255 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: we wanted to play bigger and we just couldn't. So 256 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: I think we're doing the best we can with the 257 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: personnel that we have, and we're just gonna go with it. 258 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: Just like everyone else in the league. All the injuries 259 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: of the piling up all over the league, I think 260 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are just happy was going through that as well. 261 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: All Right, we're just getting started on this edition of 262 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: the Mixed Shots.

Oh? Of course. It was my 317 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: most important moment in my career. You know, when you 318 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: have Howard Coasale.

We go ahead. They stopped. 333 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: We did this for like for like thirty minutes. They 334 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: just kept doing it. They bait the cops. It was 335 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. I was petrified when when we finally made 336 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: it out there. You know, I've heard of Boston. My 337 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: memory of Boston was looking at Jet Magazine where the 338 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: black dude got stabbed by the American flag. That's what 339 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: I remember by Boston downtown. So I'm like, hey, I'm 340 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: keeping my helmet on the entire game. I never took 341 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: it off. I used all of that nervous energy on 342 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: the field. We kicked their butts. Tony Dusset had an 343 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: amazing game. Ron Springs I think scored one or two times. 344 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: Huson Walls had an amazing game, I had two interceptions. 345 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even starting at the time. I was still 346 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: coming off the bench, and that game put me into 347 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: the lead in interceptions for the NFL, and I wasn't 348 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: even starting yet. And then I was donned by by 349 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: Hollow Cosell as the cornerback that the Cowboys had finally 350 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: been looking for since meil Renfrew. And don't you don't 351 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: you start talking about how old mel Renfroll is and 352 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: then you talk about I don't want to hear it 353 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: so well, so Howard Cosell, I mean, because that was 354 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: just the third game of your career, and you got 355 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: two interceptions, which gave you three on the season, because 356 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: you got an interception in your first game, and then 357 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: in your third game you got two picks. So Howard Cosell, 358 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: who was a master of hyperbole, to begin with, very 359 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: good Bill, that's exactly whether you're hanging around i'll lead 360 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: too much. I mean, it'd be easy for Howard Cosell 361 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: to say that about you if it was the thirteenth 362 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: game of the season, where you already had eleven picks 363 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: that year. But those were just your second and third 364 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: pick of your career. An undrafted guy out of Grambling 365 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: and he's already comparing you to mel renfro And sure enough, 366 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: you had not only eleven picks in the regular season. 367 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: But people forget Mickey that. Ever, Everson doesn't forget because 368 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: he remembers every intersection, everything like me, Yeah, everything about 369 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: being But but Everson also had two interceptions in the 370 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: game against San Francisco that everyone talks about, a catch 371 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: that was made and they and a fumble refumble would 372 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: cover to rob me. I've been robbed all my post career. 373 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: So his rookie season he had thirteen interceptions Everson did 374 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: if you count the playoffs, absolutely and you know, if 375 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: you count the Cobo, then let's just count fifteen. Okay, 376 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: all right, well he probably threw you. Let's just fold 377 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: it in. So what you needed to point out is 378 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: going to that stadium in New England, the old Stadium. 379 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: It was basically a two lane road, right it was. 380 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: It went through the neighborhood and if I remember right, 381 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: they had to put an ordinance on alcohol being sold 382 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: at the stadium because the people were basically trashing the 383 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: neighborhoods leaving the games at night. Yeah, unbelievable. I don't 384 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: know how they build the state? How do they build 385 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: the state? You know, Buffalo did the same thing. Two 386 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: lane road on the main road that you had to 387 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: take to get to the stadium. Was that rich Stadium? 388 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: Was it called rich Standium? Yeah? Right, yeah? Yeah. And 389 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: now when you start talking about what harbercas sale was 390 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: when he had just made that hyperbolic, hyperbolic statement, built 391 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: that was that was what he was all about. But 392 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: let's think about the context there. It's almost like what 393 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: we have now. It was as if and Everson Walls 394 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: would come right now, and any guy, any guy, it 395 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: could be a Mickey Spagnola. He comes in, he picks 396 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: off two passes. That's something that we hadn't seen before 397 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: in a long time. So if a Spagnola came right now, 398 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: and if he picked off three passes in two games, 399 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: then I would say we have us another mail Renfro. 400 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: That's exactly what I would say. So we needed it then, 401 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: just like we need it now. We need playmakers in 402 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: our second day. And to answer your question on who 403 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: is in the booth for that game, it looks like 404 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: it would have been Frank Gifford as well as Howard 405 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: Cosell and Don Meredith during the nineteen eighty one season. 406 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: No oja yet, right, noj came along in eighty three. 407 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: He was there eighty three to eighty five. Okay, so 408 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: there you go. Now you know the rest of the story. 409 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: And there's a little bit of Monday night football history. 410 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: Of course, playing on Monday night not quite the same 411 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: as what it once was because Sunday night is considered 412 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: the prime time But but Monday nights still in prime time, 413 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: may not have the A team doing the games anymore. 414 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: But well, let me let me put let me put 415 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: my own cotail again. Let's let's also remember that Cowboys 416 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: played on Monday night Sunday night more than any other 417 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: team back then. It was kind of like the nineties. 418 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: But back in the eighties we were the ones to 419 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: do it. So I was on Monday Night football, Sunday 420 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: Night football a lot. I think I'm pretty sure at 421 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: that point when I retired, I had more interceptions on 422 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: the ABC premier sports programs than anybody else in history 423 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: at that time. I don't know if if that has 424 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: changed because they play so many games, thanks in part 425 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: to Matt Cavanaugh in the New England, and don't forget 426 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: Grogan Groan gave me my second one. Thank you very much. 427 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: You go. Any Pittsburgh fans out there, take that. Yeah, So, 428 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: how much do you think that the Cardinals are looking 429 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: forward to playing a Monday night game against the Cowboys 430 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: this week? Oh? I think that's probably huge for them. 431 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: If you got to remember where that franchise had been 432 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: for so long, h probably didn't get a chance to 433 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: play on Monday night football. Now they now they have 434 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: been in the Super Bowl since the count I understand that. 435 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: I understand that, you know, and then only in the 436 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: Conference championship game just a few years ago. So so 437 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: is Tampa Bay? Right? Where are they? Yep? So Tampa 438 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: Bay's hosted it this year? That's oh, that's right. Well, 439 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: in fact, this made me the year Tampa Bay does 440 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: everything they want. Their baseball team is still alive, but 441 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, one win away from playing our World Series 442 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: in Arlington and the host of the Super Bow. Do 443 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: you think their throats are getting a little tight? Now? 444 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: I missed the Sombrero because that's why I want my 445 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with the Giants. The Sobrero was gone, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 446 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. Ever, Tampa is a very has 447 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: a very warm spot in your heart. I was. I 448 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: was there that day, by the way, why you Yes, 449 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: I was covering that game. I thought I saw you 450 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: at that strip? Was bad? That was That was the 451 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: year that there was no There was no week between 452 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: the NFC Title game and the Super Bowl. Yeah, thank god, 453 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: because we would have probably met. We would have met 454 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: so much it would be ridiculous. The k gun offense 455 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: was something that you could never get prepared for him. 456 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: I remember flying home from San Francisco that Monday morning, 457 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: stopped in Dallas, went home, changed suitcases, and got back 458 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: to the airport. I was sitting on the floor writing 459 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: my my second day NFC Title game story and and 460 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: flew to Tampa that that that later that afternoon. Yeah, 461 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: it was a old win day. Were you aware that 462 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: we I remember two games, so I remember this also 463 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: that the sports editor the next day on the board 464 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: kind of trashed my second day stories said I didn't 465 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: have any depth or anything new. I got back and 466 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: I said, do you think I was gonna find out 467 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: something new sitting in the airport in news around the 468 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,719 Speaker 1: National Football League? Yeah? How much? How much do you 469 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: think that the defending Super Bowl champions enhanced their chances 470 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: to play against the Cowboys in Super Bowl fifty five. Bell. 471 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: What a side they needed? What a side? You know, 472 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: I don't know why Bell went to the Jets in 473 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: the first place. Anyway, They didn't really have any potential. 474 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: What was this contract? I was clearly taken less to 475 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: perform with a better team. You know, That's just the 476 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: way it is. When I picked, when I left the Cowboys, 477 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: I didn't go calling, you know, some bum team I 478 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: called the Giants. You know, they'd be like, why would 479 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: I leave that? And then you know, go call some 480 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: crappy team. You call it. You go to a good team. 481 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: When you leave a good team, you go to another 482 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: good team that has potential. The Jets never had that. 483 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: And once again, I don't think they even know how 484 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: to run a team. To sign him and then release 485 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: him with all of that money, I'm sure Spacts can 486 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: make sense of it with his with his computer and 487 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: calculated brain. Up there. You tell me how they made 488 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: sense to sign Levian Bell and then let him go 489 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: already with all of that guarantee money in his pocket. 490 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: Bad bad economics. That's the best I can put with that. 491 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: That's how you got there. Mickey. It's all I got. 492 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 1: I didn't have a little more. I can look up 493 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: as contracts well understood and a half million how much 494 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: was it? There was seven four years, fifty two and 495 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: a half million guaranteed at signing was twenty seven millions 496 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: signing bonus signing Moses eight million. So I would imagine 497 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: there's some guarantee still left in that they've got some 498 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: dead money go down to the bottom, because it probably 499 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: showed up the dead money, and you know he gets there. 500 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't think he was. He wasn't even healthy all 501 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: of last year, was he? No, he was not. And 502 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they liked him after they got him. Well, 503 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't understand. But that's typical giant stuff. That's why 504 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: they haven't been a factor. For my goodness. I can't 505 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: remember what Richard Todd Maybe was the last time West 506 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: Wesley Walker maybe, I don't know.

I've heard that good airflow. 559 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: Let's try gotta have that good airflow. I hope that 560 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: doesn't make any of the field goals fade one way 561 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: or another. Well, this is not New Jersey, Okay. On 562 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: that topic of airflow, did you happen to see any 563 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: of the Dodgers Braves game last night at the new 564 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: Ballpark in Arnington Globe black Field because they had the 565 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 1: roof open and it you know, it was so windy 566 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: here yesterday and it was really pretty brisk in there. 567 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: The wind was blowing in that in that ballpark. I 568 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: actually liked it. They need to have that ballpark open 569 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: as much as possible. I didn't realize the roof was open. Yeah, yeah, 570 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: so tell me this. The Rangers were complaining about how 571 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: big and spacious the ballpark was, that they couldn't hit 572 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: home runs. These guys are hitting home runs. They're like 573 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: they're in the little league park, I think. But the 574 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: Rangers obviously, yeah, this is too big and all I 575 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: see his balls popping out of there like it's popcorn 576 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: in a in a bucket. How many, because how many? 577 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: How many did they allow in attention? It's about eleven thousand, 578 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: eleven thousand or so forty something thousand, forty thirty eight 579 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: forty yeah yeah, so, um, all right, Jerry on the 580 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: radio this morning, did you happen to hear him on 581 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: one O five three the fan Mickey, I did anything 582 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: cuts your ear? Yes? He is ensure it with us. 583 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: He is. He is very happy with the investment they 584 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: made on their backup quarterback. He has a lot of confidence, 585 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: uh in the fact that um Andy Dalton is a 586 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: starting quality quarterback who happens to be their backup. And 587 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: I firmly agree with him on that. I think I 588 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: mentioned it maybe early in the week. I'll say it again. 589 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: I still think he's the best backup quarterback they've had 590 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: in quite some time. And I mean the guy that 591 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: was designated to be the backup quarterback, because I know 592 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna say, well, Dak Prescott took over in twenty sixteen, 593 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: and he was a backup quarterback. He was the third 594 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: string quarterback. He wasn't there to be the backup that year. 595 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore was and he got hurt, and then he 596 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: became the second quarterback and then he took over for Tony. 597 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 1: But if you look past that, just think of who 598 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: the backup quarterbacks were and how they tried to go 599 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: cheap on those guys and either bring in guys who 600 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: were very young or bringing guys who were at the 601 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: end of their career. You know, I brought up in 602 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: my column that I haven't finished writing yet for tonight. 603 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: You know, you'd go back to Vinny test Of Then 604 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: he came in here in two thousand and four to 605 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: be the backup as a seventeen year veteran. At forty 606 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: years old. Andy Dalton's in his tenth season. He's gonna 607 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: turn thirty three, I think in a week or so, 608 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: and I still think he's in the prime of his career. 609 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 1: And if you keep going back and back and back 610 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: and back, you know, shoot, I went all the way 611 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: back to Wade Wilson to say that might have been 612 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 1: the last time they had an accomplished, experienced backup quarterback. 613 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: As if you think about it, when Jason Garrett took over, 614 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: he hadn't played that much before he got to play 615 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: a few games in the late nineties. And then go 616 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: from there and look at the guys they Romo was 617 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: the backup and he didn't have even thrown a pass 618 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Right then they bring in 619 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: Brad Johnson, whose arm was shot. He couldn't throw the 620 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: ball anymore. When he was there behind him, John Kittna 621 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: was okay. Kyle Orton never wanted to be the backup. 622 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: He thought he should have been the starter. So they 623 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: just never had quality backups. Um, you know you have 624 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: to go back to Wade Wilson, Rodney Pete, Steve Burline, Dave. Yeah, 625 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: so so this guy, I think this guy start starting 626 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,479 Speaker 1: from the bottom there. When I said, bab, we'll feel 627 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: that way back up from there. Well, that's when they 628 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 1: that's when they decided they needed to make the trade 629 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: for Burline, right, Royd he had to start those those 630 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: last games in the in the eighty or the ninety season, 631 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: when if they had just won one of them, they're 632 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs, and they ended up Troy got 633 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: hurt in Philadelphia. He came in finished that when they lost. 634 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: They went to Atlanta and nobody wanted to play that 635 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: game in the rain, and they got beat. I think 636 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: I think I heard I think I heard that to 637 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: fail you all the way in New York. Right, and 638 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 1: on top of it, even though they finished seven to nine, 639 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: had the Saints lost that last game of the season, uh, 640 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: they were gonna they were gonna go to the playoffs 641 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: at seven to nine because I think they either beat 642 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: the Saints that year or they had a better record 643 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: against common opponents. But the Rams ended up kicking the 644 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: last second field goal on a Monday night the final 645 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: game of the style about that's a tragedy. It's you 646 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: have to wait that long. They had to be pretty grueling. 647 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: We gotta get to our picks. We got six minutes left. 648 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: We got oh no, six minutes for our picks. I 649 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: could pick a one to click, but I can't pick 650 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: this game. I have no clue. But my pick to 651 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,359 Speaker 1: clicks gonna be Andy Dalton. I have said that he 652 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:01,280 Speaker 1: is the best backup quarterback since Wade Wilson's I'm sticking 653 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: to it, and I'm saying he's gonna come out and 654 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: play a very very good game. Well, I'm I'm gonna, 655 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna. I'm gonna not only am I gonna pick 656 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: the click, I'm gonna shoot your click down. I think 657 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: I think Andy's gonna have a tough game. I mean, 658 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: I just think they're gonna find a game plan for 659 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: But I still think he's gonna do do pretty well. 660 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little tougher than whether he had 661 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: last week. I picked the click. What about your scores? Facts? 662 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: You're not gonna say your score. I'm still percolating on that. Okay, 663 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: all right. In a couple more minutes, Jeff picked the 664 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: click from me, looking at the fact that they don't 665 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: really have a good tight end. Old Line might be 666 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: a little decimated, not a good running game. I talked 667 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: about it already. I think Jaylen Smith is gonna go 668 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: sideline to sideline, just like he did the last game. 669 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't I see offensively, they still have the same 670 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: in thepness that the uh that the Giants had in 671 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: as to the running game and their game plan. Of course, 672 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: Kyler Mary makes everything else different for them. He will 673 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: enhance them, but Jaylen Smith will still have a good game. 674 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: Kyler will make it close. But of course going to 675 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: my Cowboys thirty one to twenty seven, thirty one twenty 676 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: seven cow okay, and I'm gonna go with I'll go 677 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: with DeMarcus Lawrence. You know he clicked last week with 678 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: the strip sack, and just looking at the coaches film 679 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: on DeMarcus Lawrence, he really looks like he's playing. He's 680 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: hitting the stride right now, and you know, and he's 681 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: gonna be a key those defensive ends containing Murray's staying 682 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: at home and he's he's always been good run defense too, 683 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: so it may not be reflected so much in sacks. 684 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: I do like his matchup when he's up against Kelvin 685 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: Beecham at right tackle, and Humphrey's on the other side 686 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: too if he you know it, lines up at right 687 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: defensive end also, And so Lawrence is my guy, and 688 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,439 Speaker 1: I'll go thirty to twenty Boys win. Okay, I've got 689 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: I've got it. So the two games the Cardinals, you 690 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 1: got it, Housebacks. They gave up twenty six points to 691 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,439 Speaker 1: Detroit and thirty one points to Carolina. So I'm gonna 692 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: split the difference and go Cowboys twenty nine Arizona twenty seven. Ah, 693 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 1: you come on, you're only two off of me. That's okay, 694 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: twenty nine twenty seven. This is twenty twenty, so the 695 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: scorers are always weird. So I'm des ever ahead of 696 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: game in which they won twenty nine to twenty seven, 697 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: lost twenty Not tough to be to score twenty nine points. 698 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: I've got much failure? How much failure goes with that? 699 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: Is this an extra point? Right kick? An extra field goal? 700 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 1: Go for two to wait? Will do that? Or get 701 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: a safety? Yeah? You're working real horsebags to get that 702 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: twenty nine? Real hearts. Another thing, Jerry said, we got 703 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes left here. He listed Kyler Murray 704 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: as a guy who maybe one of the top ten 705 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: talented players to have played at at and T Stadium. 706 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 1: What do you think of that? That's an easy call. Yeah, 707 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: I think it's special. When you go back especially if 708 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 1: you go to high school, right right, that's right, spect 709 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: best high school player you saw, yessigh school player I 710 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: ever saw. I ever saw a lot of high school Now, no, 711 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: I said, well, I didn't see betch Young playing high school. Oh, 712 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 1: I didn't see bench Yon playing high school. That's why 713 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: I I saw. Yeah, I said, I saw videos. I 714 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:47,479 Speaker 1: was there to see Kyler Murray break my heart. So 715 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: he took my heart. He still has it to this 716 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: day in his back pocket. I don't know, though, when 717 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: you think of all the NFL players who have played 718 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: at AT and T Stadium in the last decade. I 719 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,399 Speaker 1: mean there was a Super Bowl that matched up Aaron 720 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: Rodgers against Ben Roethlisberger. I mean I think he could 721 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: name ten Cowboys. Well maybe not. See he's talking baseball 722 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,399 Speaker 1: already actually played football, not that they were just good 723 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: at it. He was a professional baseball and football. He 724 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 1: was drafted in the Loo. He was drafted to go 725 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 1: on potential. Oh yeah, you're telling me that he could 726 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: not have played, don't. I don't know. I don't know. 727 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: He actually had a baseball contract that said, you know what, 728 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: this football thing is just too much, too enough to 729 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: pass up, do you know how many first round draft 730 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,240 Speaker 1: picks don't make it in baseball. Let's go to football. 731 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? First round cowboys outside that sucked. 732 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna looking at that. I'm gonna, I'm gonna I'm 733 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,800 Speaker 1: gonna beat. I'm gonna beat all you guys with my 734 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: two guys, Marcus Dupree in high school and Gary Anderson 735 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: in high school.
