WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Personnel Decisions 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.120 The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:17.160 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.360 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:26.880 official Dallas Cowboys app. Now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:33.800 and Nicky Spagnola, And it is high noon. Are thereabouts 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:40.360 here on a Thursday inside the SWBC podcast studio, Bill Jones, 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:45.440 Mickey Spagnola live in studio Everson Walls at a remote 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:50.320 location somewhere, I think in America with a white wall behind, 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.960 on top of the world, on top of the world, 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:58.520 looking down on creation. And we are closing in on 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:04.360 game day on Sunday at five thirty Dallas time, three 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.160 thirty Pacific time, when the Cowboys take on the Niners. 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.960 And I can't wait for this, not only that game, 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.160 but the three games leading up to it. It is 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.640 divisional playoff weekend, and a lot of people think this 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.640 is the best weekend of the playoffs because you've got 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.600 all this football and some pretty good matchups. So we'll 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.319 get a chance to watch all three games before the Cowboys. Well, 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:31.319 if you start right, unless you're on a charter and 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:36.400 during a Saturday afternoon and not able to watch Jacksonville 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.440 in Kansas City. Hope the chartering Wi Fi works there 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.319 you go. So, so here is your schedule for the weekend. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.160 The first AFC game at I'm gonna go Dallas time 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.520 on all of this three thirty I believe on Saturday 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:55.360 afternoon it will be Jacksonville Kansas City. The Saturday night game. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.880 The Giants play at the Eagles two o'clock Sunday afternoon, 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:03.640 Cincinnati at Buffalo, and then Dallas and San Francisco five 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:08.600 thirty Sunday. So they've designated the Cowboys and Niners the 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.600 marquee game. I would think that is the marquis game. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.240 Would you ever, sin, wouldn't you say when Dallas plays 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:20.120 San Francisco in the playoffs, it's a marquee game. You know, 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.680 there's never really any drama in these games at all. 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:30.800 America wants to see them ended. The one game there 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.800 from a competitive standpoint, there wasn't drama in the NFC 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.560 title game. Jimmy managed to create it beforehand, right predicting 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.080 a victory in the ninety three NFC title game. You 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.919 can put it in three inch headlines. We will win 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:50.560 the ball game. And then that's when he said call 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.240 my daddy. That was a different one. And then and 0:02:55.280 --> 0:03:02.480 then on the Friday night UH Coaches Interview, UH George Seaford, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.320 Uh back when they used to have they used to 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:09.200 have an NFL party and a championship game party on 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.520 Friday night. And Seaford got into town, and you know, 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.919 they asked him about Jimmy's declaration, and he goes, well, 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:22.840 he sure has a couple brass ones so that the 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.360 book comes from. That's exactly right, that's right, that's za. 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:35.280 This is funny. The name of Jimmy's book is Swagger, okay, 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.600 And so I just started googling Jimmy and Swagger. You 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:44.800 know what, I got Jimmy Swaggers. Of course, because I 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.440 wanted to check. I wanted to check on the official 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.480 subtitle on the book Swagger, which you just referenced. And 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.880 I still get Jimmy Swagger. Forget that. All right, Let's 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.640 move on Cowboys and Niners. And we had a Mike 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.280 McCarthy press conference already complete it today, just within the 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.040 last hour. We've got football players on a football field 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.560 and this is a big day of practice, Mickey, and 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:14.320 there's a extra kickers at the facility today. Oh no, no, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:20.400 oh wait, you missed that Tristan vis Guyano who came 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:26.039 through here in uh twenty twenty in the in the Yeah. 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.600 And as soon as they signed Greg Zerline, they released 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:36.520 the kicker who went on and you know, I think 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.000 it's one of those I don't know, can you buy 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:44.960 like really really short short term life insurance life insurance policy? 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.000 Because do we have a problem his face? I know, 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.160 I know it better not be because I'll wait till 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:52.960 I tell you this. I mean, this is getting weird. 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.120 This is getting weird. Now the tail is wagging the dog. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.120 Now what's going They had to make sure they practiced 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.480 and take the look at what brett Or did. Uh. 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.440 So it's an insurance policy. He's on the practice squad, 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.880 by the way. Uh and uh, you know the other 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.960 point is that they just need I think it's for 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:16.719 a confident standpoint, So you gotta go look at what's 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:23.159 available that. I wouldn't not be confident at all because 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.800 they signed a guy that his last job he got 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.920 cut because he was ten of fifteen on extra points. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:35.720 Is that scary? I don't, I don't. Yeah, and his 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.640 production this year is he's made uh I think it 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.280 was two two of two on field goals, in three 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.160 of three on extra points or vice versa. So he's perfect. 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:51.200 He's kicked in one game basically, so you catch my drift. 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.240 He's This is only his fourth team this year. He's 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.240 had ten teams since he got into the NFL. I 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.240 believe it was twenty nineteen. He's been with ten different no, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:09.320 not ten different teams. Different time for these issues to 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:14.560 be coming around. Now, what about talking about bad timing? 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.479 Oh my goodness. This is his journey to the Cowboys 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:23.080 practice squad. It started in Cincinnati, to Dallas, back to Cincinnati, Minnesota, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:27.920 San Francisco, Buffalo, the Chargers, New England, Arizona, New England 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.839 again and Dallas again and here we are and that's 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.920 the best they could do. That's what's out there in Yeah, 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.960 slim pickings for for your kickers out there. Yeah. So 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:44.640 I go back to my word confidence. Okay, so confidence, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.200 Uh for me, this is just no. You're so you're 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.920 not talking Mohr's confidence to go out there. You're talking 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:56.040 the team's confidence in mah Okay, okay, now that makes sense. 0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:01.840 And once again, you know how everybody overrapted to one 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.520 game in Dak's career. It just happened to be the 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:11.080 last one of the regular season instead of the productivity 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.239 over the entire season, and look how that turned around. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:19.720 So I know kickers are a different breed, but I 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.640 just think Brett Mayer's a different breed of kicker than 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.800 what we're normally used to. So we'll see what happens. 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.840 But they would need to make a decision by Saturday 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:36.520 afternoon if they were too well, either elevate him to 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.120 the to the forty eight so he could be you know, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.600 if you had some So basically what this is is 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.600 what's going on out there right now is with Maher. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.679 I mean, if he's out there missing four extra points 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.640 in practice, then you're taking a closer look at Viscaino 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.559 and maybe to elevate him for Sunday right just in case, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.040 right because he would probably have one miss and then 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.200 your yank them and bring in the guy. My wife 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:08.080 asked me Monday, she said, you guys need a backup kicker. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.440 I said, nobody cares a backup kicker on the team. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.360 Were talking about that's never gonna happen, that's right. I 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.840 mean there's a there's a big battle going on to 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.239 who's gonna be on that active roster, well special teams. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.680 But it wasn't was it last year or a year 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.200 before they brought in another kicker when Zerline was struggling, 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:33.319 if I remember correctly, right, So it's not unprecedented. Uh, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.960 you know. And the only other thing he did this year, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.959 I think in two games he was the kickoff specialist 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.600 for the Patriots. Um and that lasted just two games. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.200 So um, yeah, it doesn't have a lot of experience. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.360 And I just I just don't understand this because Liara 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.160 Mahira lah who is available? I think I think he is. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:59.520 I think he's a free And what about Jonathan how 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:03.400 much how much experience NFL experience does he have? By 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.600 the way, I got a lot of CFL experience. Yeah, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.280 that's right, he was pretty good. And it's like, okay, buddy, 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.760 your first appearance in the NFL is going to be 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.120 in a second round playoff game on the road and 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:21.199 on who knows what condition the grass will be have 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.240 at it? Okay, all right, so the uh that's that's 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.960 the top of the news for everyone. Finish with this. 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:34.199 I saw this in the San Francisco Chronicle. Uh, they 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.640 do well. It was online. I don't know if there's 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:41.800 a paper edition. Some guy named Dennis Young was writing 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:46.800 on how Jerry Jones flip flopped on the kicker situation 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.280 because I think after the game he was you know, 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.840 he didn't come down, but by Tuesday morning when he 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.360 did his radio interview, he pointed out that, well, we'll 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.160 just have to take a look at this. You know, 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.079 we've we've done this once before, or carrying the kicker. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.040 So Dennis Young, who wrote the story, said, yeah, Jerry 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.720 Jones flip flopped on Monday morning on his radio segment. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.160 I'm thinking, if you're giving somebody grief, at least get 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:19.000 your dates right right, don't make a mistake in your story. Okay, Okay, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:27.280 I'm done, Gay, I have something something you go. I am. 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:33.920 I was very impressed with all of the narrative around 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.240 Dak and the Cowboys and you know, what's dad going 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.760 to do? And they just had all the dominoes lined 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.960 up for them to fall against the Cowboys, right, That's 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.520 all they talked about. Dak Prescott has the most pressure 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:53.400 on him than any other player in the NFL playoffs. Now, 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.400 who has the pressure on them now after Dak just 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:03.560 miraculously becomes the savior of the world. Nun's on a 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:11.760 rookie quarterback is well, just kind of straying away from 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:15.880 from the game this particular game. I think Jaylen Hurts 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.080 has the most pressure on him right now. It just 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.360 it just shifted to the Philadelphia Eagles in regards to 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.160 how they're going to have with their first game, and 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.200 especially when you consider that Jalen is coming off the 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.480 injury and you know, just face the Giants a couple 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.120 of weeks ago in his return and the way the 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.240 Giants have been playing, and that could be a very 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.840 interesting game on Saturday night. Did he lose one of 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.160 his is going to be a very interesting game. Did 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.559 he lose one of his dimensions of running the ball, 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.640 trying to protect that shoulder, not wanting to get tackled, 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.440 And is he a different quarterback? I know, I know 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.520 if I was a coach, I would not be calling 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:03.760 too many RPOs for Jalen Hurst because you know, we're 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.400 flying around, not just us, We're flying around. You got 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.880 the Giants that have a lot of confidence right now, 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.200 and like you said, they played against jaln Hursts at 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.760 the end of the season didn't go so well. You know, 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:17.840 I think he does right now. He is what's Dak 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:22.040 Prescott was facing last week. But of course the pressure 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.600 is not as much because you're not a Dallas Cowbug quarterback. 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.959 But you've been getting all of this praise all year long. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.160 You know, everyone's putting you ahead of Dack and almost 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.120 every other quarterback in the NFL. And we hadn't even 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.360 heard from you now really for about two three weeks. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.200 Now we'll see what he's got going on and how 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:44.120 healthy is he. And when you consider the Giants and 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.920 Wink Martindale, their defensive coordinator, who has a history with 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.720 some tough defensive teams like the Ravens in his past, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.959 they may be targeting that shoulder that Jalen Hurts is 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:02.000 playing with. I bet they are. There's there's there's no 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.640 equality in criticism, you know, all right? So back to 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.280 this game, Yes, Cowboys and Niners. What do we need 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.959 to know? Coming out of Mike McCarthy's press conference, So 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:19.120 he pointed out that Jayron Curse will be limited in 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.400 practice with that knee. But I think they feel like 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.920 the rest of these guys are Oh I printed out 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.360 my injury port and left it on the printer that 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:37.840 everybody else is about ready to go except for Jason Peters. 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:42.400 And I think I told you guys on Tuesday, what's today, Thursday, 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:47.280 that he's likely done for the season with that hip injury. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.080 Somebody just asked me about Jason Peters. I said, it's 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.280 a forty year old man with a bad hip. Kind 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.840 of breed into it, as you will, but that means 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.600 the offensive line is back in order, which which was 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.320 another thing pointed out in one of the analysis in 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:10.880 the Enemy newspaper pointing out that the Cowboys have problems 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.560 on the offensive line because Jason Peters has a hip 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.800 injury and may not play. It didn't point out that 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.320 that offensive line, you know, that was only his first 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.120 started the year. It's back to back to what it was, yeah, exactly. 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.960 And I've called up the injury report from yesterday and 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.200 officially what the Cowboys had listed yesterday as far as 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.160 curse goes, his participation level was limited as you mentioned 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.240 with his knee, and DeMarcus Lawrence has been has been 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:44.520 listed as limited throughout the season, and Peters was the 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.120 only one who is a D and P and then 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:52.160 as far as San Francisco is concerned, yesterday's injury report, 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:56.880 I'm looking just at names of interest. They have a 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.240 ten time Pro Bowl left tackle themselves, who's had for 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.360 the Hall of Fame, Trent william Trent Williams. And he 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:07.400 did not participate yesterday. But it's not because it's because 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:11.040 he is a ten time a future, ten time Pro 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.040 Bowl future Hall of Fame, uh, left tackle. Yeah, And 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.480 I just want to see if this year when he 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.320 lines up on the left side like he did last 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.479 year in the playoff game, and he starts digging and 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.160 his toe, his back foot toe in the ground before 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.960 the snap, if that's a false You remember that. It 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.160 was like he'd sit there. It was it was like 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.680 it was like one of those charging, you know, bulls. 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.200 It's like, all right, I'm ready to go, and it's 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.440 digging that foot in the ground. Why is that not 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:49.880 a false start? But I guess we'll find out. Yeah. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:55.480 By the way, speaking of penalties, Yes, how about the Cowboys. 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.280 Uh the way the Cowboys have corrected that little issue. Well, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.600 do we remember the playoff game last year? That's right, 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.680 I'm calling it up right now. I believe it was 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:09.200 fourteen team stats last year's playoff game, well, Dallas and 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.880 San Francisco. Last year it was fourteen penalties for Dallas 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.000 for eighty nine yards and the forty nine Ers had 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.680 nine penalties for fifty eight yards in that game last year. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.480 So I saw who's doing the game this year, and 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:27.080 he is last two years Bill Vinovich. Yeah, the least 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.600 amount of penalties called. There you go. I wonder if 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.080 that has anything to do after they saw last year's game. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.360 I don't know, but that is something that after last 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:42.120 week's game. After last week's game, the Cowboys ended up 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:44.680 at the end of the year probably one of the 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.840 least penalized teams in the NFL. Yeah, after the start, 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:52.160 they got off to right because there was a lot 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:58.040 of double digit penalties at that point and that has 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:02.240 always been a point of criticism. And if you can 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.880 clean that stuff up at this critical time of the year, 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.840 that's huge. All Right, We're just getting started on this 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.920 edition of mix Shots.

Okay, you know 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.160 I talked about the watch party on Monday night and 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:54.359 just how many Cowboys fans were there at at and 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.960 T Stadium and Miller Lighthouse. I was out there even 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.960 before the gates open on Monday afternoon, and there was 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.959 starting at five thirty when the gates opened, there were 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.120 it was already filling up very quickly. And when I 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:14.000 drove away just before kickoff at nearly seven, we left 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.760 the party before the games to get someplace where where 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.640 I could actually get my note bad out and take notes. 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.480 Um it was there were a lot of cars and 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.880 a lot of people still on their way in to 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:29.840 the party. Well, they decided they're going to do it 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.679 again this week. It was a good idea, a great idea, 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.280 and they're going to do it again on Sunday afternoon. 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.960 Of course it is a five thirty kickoff Dallas time 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.960 and the watch party. I kin don't have in front 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.159 of me right now, but I assume if they're going 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:49.520 to use the same time frame, gates would open at 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:55.640 four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. I'll try to confirm that. Well, actually, 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.800 now I had it, now found I have now found 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.920 a read that was underneath the mix shots live reads 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:08.640 and m four o'clock. Yes, Skates open at four o'clock, 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:12.919 hopefully for a nice day, right, I haven't looked at 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.080 the forecast for Have you looked at the forecast for 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.240 the Bay area? I just I've had some rain issues 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:22.480 here recently, recently the whole month or more than that. 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.840 You haven't looked. I have not. Okay, So that's that's 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.639 another assignment for you. Now. The most important thing is 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.920 if you have to go across the field after the game, 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.879 what shoes to wear? No, the most important things for 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:39.800 what shoe the kicker? For the kicker? All right? Christian 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:45.520 McCaffrey versus Tony Pollard. What led me to look this 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:50.120 up was a tweet from Edward Er during the Niners 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.760 Seattle game on Saturday. He tweeted something to the effect of, 0:21:55.800 --> 0:22:01.000 I often wonder whenever I watch Christian McCaffrey, why Tony 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:03.320 Pollard would be like if he was used in the 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:06.960 same way that Christian McCaffrey has been used both in 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.320 Carolina and in San Francisco. I'm reading into it. That's 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:12.359 too long a tweet. I mean, it was just often 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.520 wonder what Tony Pollard would do if he had if 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.200 he was used the same way as Christian McCaffrey. So 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.520 I was looked up the last three years because Pollard 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.439 his rookie year. Okay, he's a rookie, okay, So his 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:31.719 last three years versus Christian McCaffrey. Pollard four hundred twenty 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.760 four carries for two thousand, one hundred fifty four yards 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:40.160 five point one yards a carry, McCaffrey four hundred two 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:45.560 carries for eighteen hundred yards four point five yards a carry, 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:50.320 all right. Receiving Pollard one hundred six catches, nine hundred 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:54.360 one yards at eight point five yards a catch. McCaffrey 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.520 one hundred thirty nine receptions twelve hundred thirty three yards. 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.960 That's eight point nine yards a catch. So all told, 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:08.880 Pollard five hundred thirty touches, McCaffrey five hundred forty one touches. 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:15.359 Pollard three thousand and fifty five yards McCaffrey three thousand, 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:19.679 thirty nine yards five point eight yards a touch for 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:23.880 Pollard five points six yards a touch for McCaffrey. Now 0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.880 here's the big difference. Touchdowns. Now, I'm not I didn't 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:32.479 even look at touchdowns, the big difference. McCaffrey has missed 0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:36.800 twenty games during that time, right, But you look at 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:40.439 the production and when McCaffrey has been healthy and playing 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:44.639 in games and when Pollard has played, it's almost identical 0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:50.520 their usage. Okay, they're almost identical their production. Okay, But 0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:54.600 I also think McCaffrey is a case in point for 0:23:54.680 --> 0:24:00.239 the Cowboys who decide that we're not going to use 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.320 Pollard as much because we don't want him to get hurt. 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:07.000 And you see what happened to McCaffrey after he was 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:09.760 used so much by Carolina the first two years in 0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:13.159 the league. The next two years he misses twenty games. 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.560 And the Cowboys have been guarding against overuse for Pollard 0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.320 because they don't want to lose him for twenty games 0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:23.240 the next couple of years, or they don't have confidence 0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.879 in him that he can. There are other aspects, many 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:31.600 snaps in a game, and we were gonna be well. 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:36.520 We will find out once free agency begins how other 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:42.919 teams evaluate Tony Pollard, because if they allow him into 0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:46.680 free agency, we'll see what sort of offers he gets. 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:48.640 And by the way, at the end of this year, 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.600 with more touches this year for Pollard, he had a 0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.040 bruce thigh at the end of the season and had 0:24:54.080 --> 0:24:56.520 to miss a game and was limited another one. Right, 0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:01.040 so that'll be that'll be the barometer on your little 0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:04.760 deal there what other people think of him, not just 0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:08.280 what the Cowboys perceive him to be. And but but 0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:10.560 it is an interesting comparison when you look at the 0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:15.360 production numbers Pollard and McCaffrey in both rushing and receiving. 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:19.800 So do you have a comparable with uh my man 0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:27.480 deebo I? That is no comparison, right, the Cowboys don't 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:31.720 have a comparable player, right that can do both things 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:37.800 like that? Can you think of one? I wouldn't say that. Okay, 0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:40.639 who do you think that they can handle a ball 0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:46.760 to for four hundred yards rushing as a receiver? Tony Pollard? 0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:53.639 I think all right? All right? So whatever, So what 0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:57.000 do you think of my McCaffrey versus Pollard comparison? There? 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:04.080 Well off thet before I knew the evenness of their stats, 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:07.840 I would have thought that McCaffrey has a little bit 0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:10.720 more endurance. That's just the way I would have thought it, 0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:13.439 just by you know, looking at it from a far. 0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.840 Pollock has always been that guy that needed limited touches 0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.879 because you can see the fatigue in him. If he 0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:24.680 gets to baffle a little bit too often. We talked 0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.200 about it yesterday, Spats. I think that was off the air. 0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:31.720 I really just saw Tony Pollard as a guy that 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:36.399 has a little bit more explosiveness than McCaffrey. I just 0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.920 I have always thought that just the way Pollock has played. 0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:43.080
