I did, all right, at 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:42.080 least one of them saw the New Cowboys. Yea, where 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.080 were you guys Saturday? Well, I was at a for 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:50.600 and under soccer game four and under. They're they're playing 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.840 soccer at age four these well, actually, my grandson, James 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:55.480 actually started. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:02:00.480 I thought you were going to call it, yeah, broadcast. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:03.240 Learning soccer. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:07.640 Actually, my grandson he started playing at age three. James 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.840 started playing last year age three. This year, he finally 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.360 got up the courage to go on the field at 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.360 age four, and he was in the vicinity of the 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:20.040 gold in his last game on Saturday morning and almost 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.160 kicked the ball into the goal but didn't. 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.280 Was the ball the ball was right, So age three 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:27.800 he was on the team. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.280 He was on the team, but he didn't get out 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.839 of his mama's lap on the field. So that's where 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.440 I was on Saturday morning. I was there hoping that 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.680 James would finally kick the soccer ball. So, but you 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.600 had more important things to do. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:48.800 That's right. Watched twenty seven rookies and two tryout guys 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.240 go on the field and do drills. 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.160 Is any one of them a fullback? Yes? 0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.960 Yeah, okay, yes, Hunter Loopke or lipke Lepke Looke Lipkey. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.480 He looks like he looks like a fullback. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:07.240 Yeah. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.240 But they didn't do it. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.919 Producer Supreme. Producer Supreme said something about him. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:12.639 What was that. 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.800 No, he said, no helmets, helmet. It was a glorified 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.040 no helmets and no head. Coach mm hmm had a 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.760 back procedure, Mike McCarthy, which was good because towards the 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.440 end of the season he was having trouble standing up 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.760 there long enough to do his press conferences. So he 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.720 had that ton. Yeah, and they had one full field 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:47.000 because the remnants of the Academy Awards, the Country Awards. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.640 Still there on the field, right. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.280 That's a good thing it didn't rain because they couldn't 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:51.920 gone inside. 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.600 They're still taking that down today. There's a few more 0:03:54.720 --> 0:04:00.240 palates that are coming off that field, right. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.120 So it was a busy weekend out here or week 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.280 out here at the start, including the release of the schedule. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.160 That's right. Cool, So we've got much to get to 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.520 and this is a reality really sets in for these 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.240 rookies today. Though, okay, they were. It was a rookie 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.880 orientation over the weekend. And now they get to rubbed 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.600 shoulders with the veterans. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.919 Right right, And that was the idea to kind of 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.800 get them used to the drills they were going to 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.360 do and kind of the order of things that go on. 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.560 Now they'll continue the weight and conditioning, plus the coaches 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:38.360 on the field with the veterans today already got started. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.800 So so okay, the scheduling and the off season. I 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.800 do recall us having a you know, OT eight with 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.120 just rookies. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:48.960 Right, I remember that. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.640 Uh No, it was a mini camp just rookies. Yeah, 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:57.000 two days. It's the same thing, basically an orient Because 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.240 you said Ota. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.039 It's the same thing. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:05.560 I'm talking about that now, you know what I'm trying 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.320 to do, trying to compare that. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:09.400 Exactly. 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.360 I'm trying to figure out, you know, what do they 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.799 do from here? Because I would call rookies going in first, 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:19.120 they do. Rookies still go in first without the. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.160 Veterans Friday and Saturday. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.920 No, I mean training camp, No, no, no, no, yeah, 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.560 I'm comparing all of that. 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.240 When you go way back into the day the rookies 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.080 would show up in thousand Oaks about fourth of July. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.720 I was right after the fourth of July, basically for 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:38.400 a couple of weeks. 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.520 Ever since we have rules now. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.880 And that's that's a great point because but even the 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.720 rules have changed, even from five years ago, from two 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.520 years ago they did with the new CBA, and this 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.719 offseason goes very very quickly for those coaches. Every one 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.520 of these days is so important for not only for 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.200 the rookies, even starting right now out because of the 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.560 limited amount of time that they can work with it with. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.520 And if I remember correctly, it goes even quicker for 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.600 the Cowboys because I think they got fined a practice 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.360 or two for working too hard. 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.600 Okay, okay, that's right, that's right to physically. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.760 Who snitched, who dropped a dime. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.520 I'm sure they have somebody in the NFL or nfl 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.080 PA hovering overhead. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.560 Right because we would go in. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:34.279 I think we were ten days without anyone, just rookies, 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:35.719 if I'm not mistaken. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.560 Ten days. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.680 I know we're getting way ahead, But it was ten 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.320 days without anyone, just just rookies. In the veterans, the 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.640 wide receivers and the running backs and qbs would come 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.000 in after ten not not the D line and the 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.440 O line and all that, just a specialist. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.599 And then they come here, comes to the big guys. 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:57.960 What would you do in May? 0:06:59.200 --> 0:06:59.960 May wouldn't do anything? 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.279 Yeah, see that was that was the difference then, is 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:02.720 that you. 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:03.559 Have a mini camp. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.600 It's ot as it was mini camp. 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.720 Back there, but it would be that would be like 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:11.880 a three day mini camp. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.080 It would That's what it was, right, It was a 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.440 three day mini camp. 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.240 Rather than a which is basically a two month off 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.720 season program that it's voluntary. And now you do have 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.880 the three day mandatory mini camp to come. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.800 Everybody out of shape, Yeah, because we hadn't done anything. 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:28.360 And that's why. 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:29.800 Yeah, that's why you pick. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.239 Train the camp to get in shape. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.800 You would go to camp most guys out of shape, 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.200 and you get in shape in training camp. 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.000 That's why it was so much barfing going on. 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.800 Yeah, well there used to be barfing going on in 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.280 the rookie mini camp until they decided to pull back 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.520 and not get out there and start playing eleven on 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.600 eleven or seven on seven because they were getting so 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.320 many injuries because guys weren't in shape even though they 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.760 had just gone through the draft process. They were preparing 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:05.280 for the combine the Underwear Olympics and workouts and they're 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.360 traveling to pro days. 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.360 And now BIB board did have an off season program 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.920 for all of us laid out, but it was up 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:14.400 to you. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.000 Yeah, and so well it's kind of up to them now, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:18.840 but you. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.280 Better be here. It's different, right volunteering now. 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.960 Unless you're parties and you decide you want to work 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.520 out in Austin instead of here. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.240 Well, the other part of it is there's a lot 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.280 more money flowing around these days, and so you can 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:32.959 have your own personal trainers, and. 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.800 So I think they do. They have incentives to work 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.079 out in some of them. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:44.080 Do y see they didn't give it down back then. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.600 Workout bonuses for guys that you think might be lazy. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.480 Interesting Yeah wow, But you just look at the calendar 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.240 even now and they set up right now. And we 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.600 talk about the n f L, p A and the 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.760 and the CBA and the limited amount of time that 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.280 coaches have to work with a lot of it's on 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.960 the players, and you know, especially these teams that have 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.880 new quarterbacks coming, like a Bryce Young, like a CJ. 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:12.080 Stroud in Houston. The time is running short already for 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.880 rookies to get acclimated and learn what it takes and 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.280 to start learning a playbook and so forth. That's being 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.040 implemented as we go along. 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.320 And free agency much more prevalent now. Of course, back 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.839 then you wouldn't have many guys changing teams at all. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.160 And if you look at it, by the middle of June, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.880 they're done until they go to training camp, and here 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:41.400 is six weeks between. It seems counterproductive. Why don't you 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.920 do this and then lead into training camp? 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:50.319 They got to have vacation on a vacation, vacation, vacation. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:50.959 What's going on? 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:52.360 You sound like a player. 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:55.960 Don't you think the coaches need a vacation. 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.319 I think coaches really need a vacation. 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:04.400 They should the vacations first and then lead into training camp. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.800 But they probably see that as too continuous, you know, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:09.400 I mean, it's stressful out. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.199 You got to get the hay in the barn. Here's 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:16.240 the deal. If if you took a vacation now and 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:20.560 then had the rookies everybody start reporting June fifteenth whatever, okay, 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.880 May fifteenth, The June fifteenth is vacation time, and then 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.600 you get everybody is the build up for training camp 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.680 and so forth. The coaches are going to be they're 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.719 not going to be taking a vacation now because you 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.520 just got these players and you got to get these 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.120 players up to speak. Now for the next month, you 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.920 can at least mentally get them up to speed on everything. 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:41.920 Now they know what they have to do. Now you're 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.480 on your own for a month before training camp to 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.720 stay in shape and learn this playbook. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.200 And so got split it up. 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.560 And then the other part of it is the season 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.960 is so long where if you started June fifteenth, then 0:10:55.160 --> 0:11:02.280 you're playing until hopefully it'll February fifteenth. So vacation, we 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:03.160 don't get vacation. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:05.439 There's no lead out. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.120 So that's right, every day's of vacation. 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.080 All right, So what did you think of the schedule? 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.839 And alright, anything h New York Jets. Baby. 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.040 I'll tell you what the disappointing thing was is the 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.559 Cowboys three preseason games, and we were figuring they would 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:29.160 play one away preseason game at Vegas, but it's a 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.240 home game, so they're going to Seattle Way for the one. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.880 And for those who don't know the preseason schedule, Week 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:41.720 one is Jacksonville at home. Week two at Seattle and 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.560 then Week three Las Vegas at home. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.720 So that sounds like a little bit of travel because 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.440 they're going to end up traveling here for the home 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.720 game from training camp, going back out there, and then 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:58.240 traveling to Seattle, and who knows if they go back 0:11:58.559 --> 0:11:59.480 to ox. 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.199 Think they would come here. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.120 First, straight here and show up after you're gone four 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.199 and a half weeks. You show up at five o'clock 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:08.720 in the morning. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.080 And we don't have the exact dates yet. They haven't 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.720 been set on the preseason schedule. It just goes by weeks, 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.960 and so you can play anywhere between a Thursday and 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.240 a Sunday in one of the preseason weeks. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.440 Hey, maybe they get a break on game two, they 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.800 play the Jets here and Aaron Rodgers he won't be 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.120 acclimated to his new team already. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.120 But do you ask the question what stood out more 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.560 than anything? It's for the first six on the road 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.560 and in the middle of the schedule you get five 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.400 of seven at home and then you close with three 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:43.400 out of four on the road. 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.160 Well yeah, but you know it's kind of equitable. You 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.160 get those that stretch of home games and obviously you 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.280 got to play away games and they got to play 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.600 one more extra road game right this year on the 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.840 seventeen game schedule, because. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.520 The NFC teams are playing at the AFC teams on 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:03.920 that seventeenth game. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:09.360 Right here, and what stuck out to me is the 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:14.199 three game stretch where you got to play home against Philadelphia, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.640 at Buffalo, and at Miami. That's going to be a 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.760 tough grind. And then even coming home against Detroit, who's 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.280 which is a much improved team. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.760 So much improved that they get the Marquee game staff. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:34.520 The seasons come a long way, Dan Campbell before the game, 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.480 that's what hard knocks will do for you. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:41.720 But that that three game stretch Philadelphia, Buffalo, Miami with 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:46.040 at Buffalo and at Miami, that's a pretty that right there, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.800 to me, is going to determine what happens with this team. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.440 I'm just looking at different matchups that would be exciting, 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.360 and you know what goes with it, the two row 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.880 games October eighth, October sixteenth, San Francisco and Chargers. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.400 I think early on that will let us know where 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:03.760 we are. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:09.920 And it's not only they're both away games meaning long trips. 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.800 Right The fortunate thing is the going back for the 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.160 Chargers game. It's a Monday night game, so you get 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:20.520 an extra day and the bye to recover. And then yeah, 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.640 and the buye is in a good spot after what's 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.520 six games, but it's really after nine games with the 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:31.160 three preseason games. So yeah, I just thought when you 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.160 look at it, it's fair. Uh. The good thing is 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.480 they're not you know, I know the games at Carolina, Uh, 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.920 the Sunday before Thanksgiving, but that's not that long of 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:42.720 a flight. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:43.600 Uh. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.920 And then you play the next two Thursday nights at 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:51.200 home Washington Seattle, where there's been previous years they've played 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.760 a night game in New York. It seemed like on Sunday, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.240 come back and play on Thanksgiving and then go on 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:01.760 the road again on the following Thursday. And so at 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.520 least they gave them somewhat of a break there. Plus 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.120 the Thursday game obviously it's a night game, so it's 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.000 a night game. And then they get the long break 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:17.600 and play another night game at Philadelphia. So five primetime 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.920 games along with Thanksgiving. 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:24.160 NFC East the back part of the season, second part 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.120 of the season, a lot of home games for the 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.320 NFC East that'll keep us in contention in case we 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.000 start having some issues because we're on the road doing 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:38.000 the first part of the season at Philly, first at 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.080 New York. We don't get an NFC East home game 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.080 until the Giants. Am I looking at this right? 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:43.760 That's right? 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:48.920 November twelfth, November twelfth the Giants, November twenty third, Washington, 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.440 and then December tenth Philadelphia. You know, when you look 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.840 at the schedule though, and compare it with the Eagles 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.840 schedule and with all of your division rivals, there's only 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.680 three games on the schedule that differ essentially from your 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.920 rivals in the division. And because the NFC East is 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.800 playing the AFC East and the NFC West this year, 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.960 so everybody's playing those teams, and so for the Cowboys 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.920 those three games that are different from the Eagles. The Cowboys, 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.600 because they were the second place team in their division, 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:24.520 will play at the Chargers at Carolina, and a home 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.880 against Detroit, while you look at Philadelphia and they play 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.800 at Kansas City, the first place team from the AFC West. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:38.560 Cowboys got the Chargers at Minnesota, the first place team 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:44.440 in the NFC I'm sorry, they play Tampa Bay, which 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.120 is the first place team from the NFC South. While 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.880 the Cowboys get Carolina, and they get Minnesota, the first 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.680 place team from the NFC North, while the Cowboys get Detroit. 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.440 So, which is why when it comes to strength of schedule, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:04.080 Philly has the heart artist. They're playing their strength to schedule. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.159 They're playing teams with a five point fifty six winning 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:12.440 percentage from last year. Miami second, the Cowboys, New England 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.680 and the Giants are tied for third most at five 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:22.080 forty nine. So yeah, and the reason why the Cowboys 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:26.119 schedule looks so tough, Number one, they got to play 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.080 within their division and everybody in the at six games 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.600 against teams with at least eight wins. Right, remember last 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.560 year it was the exact opposite. 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.560 It's such an easy schedule because they get to play 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:44.120 the right exactly. Yeah, that's right. In a year from now, 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.600 we might be sitting there going, well, they got the 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.640 easiest schedule because they're getting to play. 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:53.679 Then, yeah and so, and also playing the AFC East, 0:17:53.840 --> 0:18:02.040 which includes Buffalo and Miami obviously the Jets. So what 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:06.560 I what I what I UH saw was of the 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:12.840 top nine strength of schedules, six of those teams are 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.520 or No. Eight of the teams belong in the NFC 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.200 East or the a f C East because number one, 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.920 they got to play each other. Their division was pretty 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.439 good last year it was and uh, and then they 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.119 got to play against each other again. 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.800 Look at right before Christmas, you're at Buffalo and at 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:31.960 Miami back to back. 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.919 I mean, these are these are some really intriguing. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.680 Matchups, and not just the one game matchup, but you're 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.560 looking at stretches of intriguing matchups. 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.119 Oh and one other note on that the NFC East 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.520 was the only division without a team with a losing record. 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:56.359 Then least you mean eight eight and one Washington. Okay. 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.920 Producer Supreme has asked me to look up the Seattle's 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:05.080 schedule prior to the Thursday night game against the Cowboys, 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:09.600 which you pointed out. The Thursday, November thirtieth, Cowboys host Seattle. 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.520 The week the games leading up to that for Seattle, 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.720 the previous week they play Thanksgiving at home against San Francisco. 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:22.280 That's the Thanksgiving night game, Okay, And the previous Sunday 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.200 they play at the Rams, and prior to that at 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:27.719 home against Washington. 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:31.639 Why are we looking at that. 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.679 Well, because they're doing the You were talking, Mickey that 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:38.440 sometimes the NFL schedule us on the road, come home. 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.160 Does that make the road and then on the road again. 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:42.120 So that's what they have. 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:48.359 So the week before Thanksgiving, Seattle plays at the Rams, 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.800 comes home a three to twenty five game at home 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.480 against San Francisco, and then they go on the road 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.159 to Dallas. You know, I don't look at it the Thursday. 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.280 I think it's really good for the Cowboys that they've 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:05.600 got the Thursday game after the Thursday game because. 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.320 And not have to break up another week. 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.040 And then they get you know, for years the league 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:14.359 thought that the Cowboys had an advantage by having the 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.920 mini bye week the weekend after Thanksgiving. Well you just 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.480 you just move it back a week and that they 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.920 get the mini buy the more the longer stretch before 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:28.159 their final stretch of the season. I think it'll benefit 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.880 them going into playing a home game against Philadelphia December tenth, 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.880 that they got some extra time before playing Philadelphia December 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:35.480 tenth at home. 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:40.439 Yeah, no, absolutely, Yeah, that's uh. That helps out. But 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.080 you still got to play the three games in twelve. 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:46.800 Days tougher how you break it down, three games and 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:47.800 twelve days. 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.920 But everybody in the league's got to do that, right 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.560 because everybody's got to play a Thursday game at some point, 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.280 and now they're you know, they're two Thursday games for 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.359 so and the Cowboys have been doing it for several 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.960 years now getting two Thursday games. But it's good that 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:03.400 they've always put it back to back. 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:09.359 So night, September tenth, so you got Giants to open 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:09.919 the season. 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.280 I got seventeen and oh, okay, every year I have 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:16.120 seventeen and oh or sixteen and oh prior to that. 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.720 And then the wheels come off, and then a Super 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.560 Bowl and a Super Bowls come off way before seen b. 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.560 I do like the opener against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.080 Do I love the home opener? Yeah, it's always good 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.680 to have some excitement. I mean, it's not just the matchups, 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.040 but you know the stuff that goes on off the field. 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.600 And how about even the season opening weekend. The Cowboys 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.440 play the Giants in the Sunday night game, and then 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:49.000 on Monday night, same stadium, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:54.359 host the Buffalo Bills. So you can actually, Mickey stay 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:58.480 over and scout the next opponent, the Aaron Rodgers or 0:21:58.520 --> 0:21:59.520 the Jets. If you want. 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:05.520 You could take New York for a week, so the 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:07.520 Jets will have a short week going into the camp. 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:09.840 That's right. So there you go. 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:13.399 You want to take a positive of that. 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:16.040 Uh huh, poor Jets and Aaron. 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.080 The other thing on this is him in the back 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.560 rooms here at the Star in Frisco. How much are 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:23.600 they focused? 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:23.880 Now? 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.720 Now that's the that's what happens when the schedule comes out. 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.280 Now you know your first few games of the season, 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.840 and you can actually start preparing for Aaron Rodgers and 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.800 the Jets knowing that okay, second game of the year, 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.000 you can study as much Aaron Rodgers rather than if 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:42.919 it were the seventh and seenth game of the year 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:44.879 or the sixteenth game of the year. You know, you 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:45.760 can pretty much. 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:49.760 Expect that they So. 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.960 You know, you look at these three these games. New 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:56.840 York is looking to make some money for those two weeks. 0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:00.560 Especially Cowboys come to town. You've got just of course 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:04.040 it's there for the year. And then Buffaloes comes down 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:05.240 the first two weeks. 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:06.760 First two days, first two days. 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.760 That's crazy, but that gonna make some money that weekend. 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:16.560 That's by design.

We don't 0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:07.680 think about it, right. 0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:13.520 Okay, So on Saturday morning, the Cowboys had a open 0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:16.560 practice for the media to come watch these rookies. By 0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:20.359 the way, we should point out on Saturday night Big Game, 0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:25.960 Bob and the Yes Arlington Renegade wanted XFL champions the 0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:31.360 four and six beat that team from Washington. Yeah, and 0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:34.840 Dallas continues its mastery over those teams. 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:40.840 From Washington and beat Houston Wade Phillips next playoff game, 0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:43.240 the Big Game. 0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:45.800 Bob, Sure can he knew how to trade for a quarterback? 0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:49.080 That's right? Well, Louise Perez out of Texas A and 0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:51.040 M Commerce. Does he signed with anyone. 0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:53.800 Yet unless he did it today? I hadn't seen that 0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:56.840 he had. Ben Denucci signed with Denver. 0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.720 Yeah, Denver Bronco Broncos. Wow. 0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:05.120 Really he turned in his XFL season into at least 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:08.360 a tryout workout with Jennifer. 0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:13.320 I'm doing searches on Luis Perez, the MVP, who, by 0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:16.240 the way, was the Harlan Hill Trophy winner at Texas 0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:20.680 A and m COMMERCE, leading them national championship in about 0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.760 twenty sixteen, or this guy man. 0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:28.240 Yeah, I coached him at this art game. Yes. 0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:32.520 Well, he's been around to several leagues and you know, 0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.280 off seasons with NFL teams, and. 0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.800 He was not with this Arlington Renegades team as the 0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:41.119 season started. He was with Vegas, the Vegas Vipers, and 0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:46.320 then the the very shrewd Bob Stoops picked him up 0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:48.320 and they let him do a championship. 0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:52.520 He had a pretty good championship game too, stats were good. 0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:55.359 And of the game against Wade Phillips defense too. He 0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:57.720 did not throw a pick through three touchdown passes in 0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:04.760 each of those games. It was aiightman like from. 0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:06.960 Now as bringing down the bitch, please jes Well in 0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:10.639 nineteen ninety two and he had nine touchdown passes and 0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:12.360 only one pick in the postseason. 0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:15.840 His only downside is I think he's twenty eight, so 0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.320 I don't know if teams will take a chance on 0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:19.240 a twenty eight. 0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:22.560 Year old quarterbacks. Probably until that thirty eight this shouldn't 0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:23.040 be a problem. 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:26.000 Yeah, but at this point he's trying to be the 0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:27.520 third quarterback. 0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:29.760 Propably, so I'd take a look at him. 0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:33.520 No, you wouldn't know. You would, You wouldn't. I wouldn't. 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:38.160 There's also another player on their team, Willie Taylor, a 0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:42.280 defensive player who might be their top defensive player, and 0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:45.720 he was draft eligible, went undrafted. He started his career 0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:48.800 at Washington State and he wound up at Eastern Kentucky, 0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:53.200 and he decided instead of doing preparing for the draft 0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.479 and doing that stuff, he decided to go ahead and 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.960 play in the XFL this spring. And I would imagine 0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:02.200 he is getting signed pretty quickly here. 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.280 So what do you guys want to know? Fire away? 0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:08.719 See if I have answers for you for the mini 0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:11.760 who quarterback we got to we got to meet that 0:29:11.880 --> 0:29:14.560 some of the draft choices on Friday. We had open 0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:17.960 locker room and then they didn't really have a workout. 0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:26.720 The quarterback was one. Where's my list here? Matthew Matthew 0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:33.680 McKay from Elon an undrafted rookie on a tryout, right, 0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:37.600 So yeah, he was. I saw somebody taking snaps on 0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:41.280 Friday when they were above the weight room, and I 0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.600 was like, well, maybe they just made somebody who played 0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:48.560 high school football as a quarterback take some snaps. But 0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:52.240 they brought him had two guys in his on tryout basis. 0:29:52.920 --> 0:29:55.840 But they really didn't do you know, they didn't do much. 0:29:57.400 --> 0:29:59.800 The reason I asked that the Cowboys just have three 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.960 quarterbacks on the roster, right, yes, and so do they 0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:05.480 need to add a fourth quarterback just to get through 0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:11.200 for in our developmental guy to maybe a practice squad guy. 0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:13.720 Yeah, but if they thought that was a priority, they 0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:17.000 would have brought somebody in more than a try out, right, So. 0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:18.640 So they haven't found one that they liked it. 0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:22.560 Yeah, that says, okay, we're gonna you know, I'm not 0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:26.440 gonna say waist snaps on, but you know, get. 0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:30.360 Very crude throughout your career of go ahead and say, 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:32.600 you know, I don't. 0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:36.160 Try to be nice now the camp body, right, all right? 0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.600 You mentioned uh there were no kickers there. 0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:40.520 Uh. 0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:47.400 Tristan Viscayano uh is on this roster. Fossil talked at 0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:53.240 great length about kickers uh, And I thought his key 0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:56.840 thing was when somebody said, so, what are you looking 0:30:56.880 --> 0:31:00.520 at at kicker and he said, right now, Tris and 0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:04.720 anybody on Earth that's not on another team right now. 0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:08.440 So it's wide open. He pointed out. He goes, there's 0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:13.200 no secret that there's you know, three veterans out there 0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:17.640 that people know, Mason Crosby, Robbie Gould and Ryan suck Up. 0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:22.520 Part of the problem with some of these guys is 0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:26.320 their kickoffs. Like gool you would need a kickoff guy, 0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.800 And that was something that I think got overlooked of 0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:33.360 how well Brett Maher did the whole season long, not 0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:36.240 only was still out there too. And by the way, 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:41.000 his name David, you didn't mention him, no, no, no, no, Fossil. 0:31:41.520 --> 0:31:49.080 Fossil basically said anything's open at this point. And if 0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:52.000 you think about what he did this year, now he 0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:59.240 kicked in twenty two games if we count preseason. If 0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:03.760 the Cowboys and make the playoffs, think about this and 0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:07.480 the season he had. Somebody would have paid him and 0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:11.440 maybe the Cowboys three million dollars a year, right, And 0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:16.200 unfortunately he had the one game at Tampa Bay, and 0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:19.040 that kind of clouded his entire. 0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:21.880 And the San Francisco game was kind of. 0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:25.320 Yeah, it was the first time, a little bit shaky. 0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:27.280 But if you looked at the regular season, he was 0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:30.440 twenty nine of thirty two on field goals and two 0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.400 of the misses were from fifty nine and one from 0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:37.240 forty six. He was fifty to fifty three on extra points, 0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:39.160 and if I remember, I think one of them might 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:44.200 have gotten blocked. So at nine of eleven on fifty 0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:48.400 plus field goal attempts. 0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:52.240 So here's my thing. Was there any game that we 0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:55.160 could say or two games, I'd say two and not 0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:57.040 just one game. Can we say two games where he 0:32:57.160 --> 0:33:00.120 lost the game for us with his inability to make 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:01.600 field goals or extra points. 0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:05.640 Well, they overcame the extra points against Tampa Bay in 0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:13.920 the playoffs. Yes, San Francisco one got blocked, right, but 0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:19.440 it was it was really bad, and then he made 0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:22.280 another one, by the way, So no, I don't think 0:33:22.320 --> 0:33:25.640 he ended up losing. They were going to lose that 0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:28.720 Washington game and there was a little struggle there. And 0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:33.240 if we remember Tampa Bay, remember before when I came back, 0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:35.800 I told you the field was lumpy. Yeah, and he 0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:38.560 got I think he got psyched out on it when 0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:41.240 he was walking around on it. But other than that, 0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:45.760 I asked, and he's still out there, and from what 0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:49.920 I can tell is he really hasn't had a workout anywhere. 0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:53.560 He's back in Nebraska with his family. 0:33:53.800 --> 0:33:57.440 I just asked it because your stats, the stats that 0:33:57.520 --> 0:34:00.360 you just called out, they were amazing. And that's we 0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:05.080 could look at it as you know, optimistic versus pessimistic, Right, 0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:08.080 are we so optimistic about what he's done previously to 0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:11.520 And it was a stretch of games. It wasn't just 0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:13.000 like a spot. 0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:14.040 Here and then he didn't miss. 0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:17.000 This was a stretch of games. I'm talking about the incompetence. 0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:20.719 This is stretch of games where what the hell is 0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:23.279 going on right right now? This is when you want 0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:24.040 to start doing this? 0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:25.160 And he is. 0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:28.719 They've lost all confidence, I believe, lost all confidence in 0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:30.200 him in the locker room. 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:33.920 Well, I think that if they're going to have a kickoff, 0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:37.279 I mean, do you at least give him that opportunity. 0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:40.399 I think he deserves a lot more than what he's 0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:43.000 getting now. But it's difficult to make a case for 0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:45.640 him right and that is the dilemma. 0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:48.000 He was amazing throughout the regular finish. 0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:51.640 The finished the regular season making ten of ten field 0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:52.759 goals and a. 0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:55.000 Couple of those botes they had. He had some a 0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:56.840 couple of field goals that will really clutch for us. 0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:58.080 Yeah, during the season. 0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:02.520 So but you know, they did they they liked the 0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:08.239 guys they got drafted in the this year, but they 0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:11.560 went in the third and fourth round. They were thinking, well, 0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:13.640 they knew if they didn't do it in the third 0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.080 or fourth they weren't going to get either one of them. 0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:17.839 Clearly other teams liked them too. 0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:21.640 Yes, Uh, Ryland was the one they liked the most, 0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:24.239 and I think he went in the fourth round. The 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:28.239 kid from Michigan went in the third round. Ryland was 0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:32.560 from Maryland. Uh, they were hoping, they were hoping fifth 0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:37.759 or sixth, but that wasn't gonna happen. So now, you know, 0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:41.440 you look at what's going on in the USFL, the XFL. 0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:45.680 I think what they they're thinking is if you bring 0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:49.160 in a veteran, you know what you're getting, right, You've 0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:51.960 seen it. The guy's got some history in the NFL. 0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:56.560 But again, you know those guys probably are waiting till 0:35:56.680 --> 0:36:02.160 somebody gets desperate. So Viscayano has not been terrible in 0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:06.160 the NFL. He just hasn't really gotten much of an opportunity. 0:36:06.719 --> 0:36:09.520 Uh So he's going to get an opportunity, and they're 0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:13.120 gonna have to you know, Judge, can they because they 0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:16.359 brought him in here before, you know, can they go 0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:18.879 with this? Or is there somebody else out there that. 0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:24.040 If he would have continued with the same consistency throughout 0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:26.560 the playoffs end of the season, throughout the playoffs, we 0:36:26.600 --> 0:36:28.400 wouldn't really be looking at Mayes. 0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:30.439 Oh no, they would have paid him three million a year. 0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:32.640 Think about that. 0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:36.520 I still think we're in good position with a kicker. 0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:40.399 I still like him. You know, I wouldn't mind going 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:42.919 into the season with him. I feel very confident in that. 0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:46.879 How does he feel the question? Has anyone interviewed them 0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:47.839 and talked to him? 0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:54.200 I haven't seen anything. So and then it's a matter 0:36:54.320 --> 0:36:57.600 of you know, when you bring him, are you holding 0:36:57.600 --> 0:36:58.200 your breath? 0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:02.279 And that's the thing. No one feels confident about him 0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:04.440 right now. Yeah, as good a season as he had, 0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:07.439 and that's just the dilemma. We should feel better about 0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:08.240 him and we don't. 0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:12.560 And you would have a new deep snapper this year. 0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.959 The holder would still be the same the hold. 0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:17.839 Yeah. 0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:22.440 So anyway, that was a big part of Fossil's discussion 0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:24.800 when he did his interview. 0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:29.520 That's watching a lot of USFL games, watch everything, right. 0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.360 And uh and then he you know, two of his 0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:38.759 best guys Gifford and who was the other guy, Noah 0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:42.400 Brown no longer here, So he's got some openings on. 0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:46.080 I know, people don't, you know, worry about special teams, 0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:47.759 but one of the guys that I think you can 0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:51.200 put a circle around is Overshawn. They look at him, 0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:55.359 is maybe a really good special teams player and then 0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:01.080 how do you say it? Bill lip Key Hunter Lepke. 0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:06.960 He's a do everything dude. Pretty interesting guy because when 0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:09.239 I was talking to him, I go, so full back. 0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:12.560 You didn't grow up wanting to be a fullback, right? 0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:15.560 And he was a running back quarterback in high school 0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:19.440 and he got to North Dakota State and they said, hey, 0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:22.320 why don't we try this? But not only he wasn't 0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:25.160 just a lead blocker. He ran the football from a 0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:29.439 tailback position at North Carolina State, North Dakota State, North 0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:36.520 Dakota I'm sorry and yeah in his career and he 0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:40.239 good hands. They threw the ball to him, and I 0:38:40.320 --> 0:38:43.680 also double checked with him and it was like, so, 0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:46.520 did they really snap it to you in wild card? 0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.400 He goes, absolutely, they did. So he was kind of 0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.480 one of these do everything guys. And when I mentioned 0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:56.640 I mentioned special teams, he goes, oh, yeah, all four. 0:38:57.160 --> 0:39:00.800 So that's another spot that they've got to be able 0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:01.200 to fill. 0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:04.759 He could be another different Yeah, it'd be good. 0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:08.839 His stats at North Dakota State, would you like his 0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:12.640 career stats or his last season at Altago? Last last 0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:15.800 season and ten games played, he had ninety eight carries 0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:19.480 for six hundred and twenty one yards and nine touchdowns, 0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:23.360 averaging six point three yards of carry. He had fourteen 0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:26.640 receptions for one hundred and ninety six yards and four touchdowns. 0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:28.640 Yeah, but look at his career. 0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:33.680 Career career touchdowns he had thirty three. He had twenty 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:37.799 four rushing and nine receiving touchdowns in his career at 0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:38.840 North Dakota State. 0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:44.719 So interesting, and he's like one of these guys that 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.479 will basically do whatever they ask. 0:39:47.719 --> 0:39:50.840 Right, how big is he? He's listed as six to 0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:54.520 one and one quarter inch tall, two hundred and thirty 0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:57.359 four pounds. That's what he was at the combine Can 0:39:57.400 --> 0:40:00.479 he become that big, burly fullback in this. 0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.799 Six one thirty six game was what They've got him 0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:08.800 listed here, And I don't know if at this point 0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:11.120 he's the guy that's going to go and dig it out, 0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:14.319 but he knows what to do. He also played tight 0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:15.120 end for him too. 0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:16.719 By the way, that's six' one. 0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:17.839 He's not playing tighty end. 0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:19.879 I'm gonna say, yeah, good, no, but he can. 0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:24.799 I'm saying he can line up outside if you if 0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:28.400 he's in as a full bank package. Yeah, yeah, so 0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:33.320 interesting interesting guy. Tell The other guy that was pretty 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:40.160 interesting to me was Isaiah land Fam you they had 0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:44.000 him listed as a defensive end, but he if you 0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:47.239 think about this, when I saw his size, he's six 0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:49.960 four two fifteen, what does that sound like? 0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:52.879 Wow, he sounds like a linebacker. 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:57.600 That's where Yeah. And so he said they had him 0:40:57.640 --> 0:41:02.120 as edge and line back actor. Uh and and maybe 0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:05.200 he's the next you know, most j Rod. 0:41:05.120 --> 0:41:08.120 Curse most edges they can't cover one on one. Yeah, 0:41:08.239 --> 0:41:09.719 and that he's going to have to cover one on 0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:10.520 one as a lineback. 0:41:10.600 --> 0:41:19.239 But as he was the FCS twenty twenty one Defensive 0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:19.759 Player of. 0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:21.359 The Year, he won the Buchanada A ward. 0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:28.120 Yeah, so best defense kind of go to college, that's okay, don't. 0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:30.320 State university. 0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:37.400 But anyway, I thought that was that was a rhetorical question, right, 0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.359 And they had a lot of guys that it's kind 0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:49.880 of working multiple places, like the Awesome Richards, the tackle 0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:50.680 in the fifth round. 0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:51.239 What's his name? 0:41:51.360 --> 0:41:51.880 Awesome? 0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:55.480 It's not a C, Yes, I am, but it's pronounced awesome. 0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:57.200 I love it.

Matt Ryan no longer 0:47:06.120 --> 0:47:06.720 on the market. 0:47:09.280 --> 0:47:10.360 He was retired. 0:47:10.400 --> 0:47:13.400 He's going to CBS, going to CBS as a gig. 0:47:13.360 --> 0:47:14.600 Coming after your job. 0:47:15.320 --> 0:47:18.760 He's like a doctor, didn't he Doctor Ryan? 0:47:19.000 --> 0:47:21.560 Doctor?

There was a quarterback 0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:32.760 in this league, last name Ryan, who was a doctor? Okay, okay, 0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:36.040 I'll have that at the end of the show for you, Mickey. 0:47:36.040 --> 0:47:39.520 In the meantime, that's a little trivia question. Who is 0:47:39.560 --> 0:47:42.120 the who is the quarterback in this league? Who was 0:47:42.200 --> 0:47:44.319 a doctor? But you go ahead, Mickey and say what 0:47:44.320 --> 0:47:45.440 you're going to say first. 0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:49.759 All right, quick few notes here. Dan Quinn cleared up 0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:53.680 this deal about Parsons being a full time defensive end 0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:56.160 just because he said he wanted to put on some 0:47:56.200 --> 0:48:00.840 more weight at the home run derby, and basically he 0:48:00.920 --> 0:48:03.359 was putting on another five or seven pounds. He said 0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:08.279 a muscle. Dan Quinn said he's a pass rushing linebacker, 0:48:08.600 --> 0:48:15.440 so they're not making a position change there. Scoon Maker, 0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:20.279 scoon Maker tight end. He didn't do much. I think 0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:24.520 he's still recovering from a shoulder repair. But I was 0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:33.720 told that he is a pretty good blocker, and Brian 0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:37.960 Schottenheimer said he can control the SA gap, meaning at 0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:39.879 the end of the line of scrimmage in the run 0:48:39.920 --> 0:48:43.880 game that he can block. And he also said he 0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:48.680 watches tape of one Jason Witten, so at least he's 0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:53.799 good head on his shoulders. Right, Let's see what else 0:48:53.840 --> 0:49:01.360 I got here real quick, I said Isaiah Lamb. We 0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:05.399 did lucky, oh Darien Thompson, he's an assistant coach now 0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:10.480 helping out and he was working with Overshewan on his 0:49:10.600 --> 0:49:18.680 linebacker drops working pretty hard too. And the surgery that 0:49:18.760 --> 0:49:20.080 Tony Pollard. 0:49:19.680 --> 0:49:23.400 Had, remember we're getting an update. 0:49:23.480 --> 0:49:29.320 He fractured the ale fibula, but it was up high, 0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:33.920 which they didn't do anything. That'll just take care of itself. 0:49:34.040 --> 0:49:39.359 But the ligament danes damage he had was between the 0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:44.120 tibia and the phibia, and what he had instead of 0:49:44.160 --> 0:49:47.560 them going in and using screws. Now they call it 0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:52.040 a tight rope surgery where they go in and basically 0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:55.960 tie the ligaments from the front and back together and 0:49:56.000 --> 0:49:58.040 they don't have to go back in and take out 0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:04.080 the screws. I was told. And it's the same surgery 0:50:04.560 --> 0:50:08.400 that Tua had when he sprained his ankle. 0:50:09.840 --> 0:50:14.279 So that sounds like more of a sprain, yeah, but 0:50:14.400 --> 0:50:18.800 it's it was like two ligaments and so at the 0:50:19.040 --> 0:50:20.600 tip of the bottom tip. 0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:26.839 So that's when he faster, faster recovery. He don't need 0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:28.200 a second surgeon, okay. 0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:30.240 And he's a healthy doing. 0:50:30.120 --> 0:50:32.680 He was out there doing rehab. I mean not during 0:50:32.719 --> 0:50:36.120 the mini camp, but he's been out there rehabbing. And 0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:43.879 oh and Terrence Steele basically said that they told him 0:50:44.160 --> 0:50:48.520 his recovery is being a lot faster than most guys 0:50:49.280 --> 0:50:52.200 and it just listening to him, it didn't sound like 0:50:52.760 --> 0:50:58.000 they mentioned anything about playing guard to him. So for 0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:01.120 now May fifteen, he's a tackle. 0:51:01.440 --> 0:51:01.800 Okay. 0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:05.080 Now, would you like to know the answer to my triper? 0:51:05.600 --> 0:51:08.160 I was trying to hurry so we had time for that. 0:51:08.960 --> 0:51:10.400 All right.
