Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 2: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 2: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 3: Cowboys.
Speaker 2: This is Mick Shot screaming live on Dallascowboys dot Com
Speaker 2: and the official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones,
Speaker 2: Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 1: Stamp.
Speaker 5: Right, that's right, Producer Supreme, Chris Beam, I wanted to
Speaker 5: start the show with that, and I'm sitting here there
Speaker 5: wondering why, and I'm thinking, we've got a schedule. That's right,
Speaker 5: We've got a schedule. Is that the reason, Producer Supreme?
Speaker 1: No, Yes, it's it is. It's the start of ot AS. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's that too. In fact, that's practice day.
Speaker 5: That was not only blaring on this podcast and in
Speaker 5: our headsets, but I bet Producer Supreme was blaring it
Speaker 5: out on the practice field here because we were about
Speaker 5: to have football players on a football field for OTAs.
Speaker 3: Man, that would be kind of cool to play that
Speaker 3: out there while they're practice.
Speaker 6: They would lame as hell, It would be kind of cool.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I saw some lifts moving from equipment
Speaker 1: around out there, so.
Speaker 5: You're thinking that nothing's going to happen on the practice
Speaker 5: field because of any conditions.
Speaker 7: To they go indoors.
Speaker 1: Don Okay, well we've got we'll see, but they're supposed
Speaker 1: to OTAs today.
Speaker 5: Speaking of indoors. By the way, yeah, U Sir Supreme
Speaker 5: has supplied us with this information today. This is a
Speaker 5: very big day in the world of high school girls
Speaker 5: flag football. The championship tournament is at Ford Center right
Speaker 5: here at the Star in Frisco tonight. We've got to
Speaker 5: bracket and everything. We're going to be breaking it down
Speaker 5: here for the next hour here on mixed shots. But seriously,
Speaker 5: it's been a great thing where they've been playing all spring.
Speaker 5: Five North Texas school districts have been playing in this
Speaker 5: spring league and this is Championship Monday for girls flag
Speaker 5: football in North Texas high schools and playing games start
Speaker 5: at five thirty tonight. You can come out to Ford
Speaker 5: Center and check it out because this is the fastest
Speaker 5: growing sport in America, I think.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask you as a question, what
Speaker 1: do you think the key factor.
Speaker 7: In these teams winning quarterback? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I watched them during the draft. They were out there
Speaker 1: playing on it.
Speaker 5: And how many girls would you say, we're out here. Oh,
Speaker 5: I mean just fun. And they played on the outdoor.
Speaker 5: These are going to be indoors at Ford Center, but
Speaker 5: during the spring they would be out here on Saturdays
Speaker 5: and it was packed with warm ups.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is the first thing I noticed. If
Speaker 1: you didn't have a quarterback throw the ball.
Speaker 7: You couldn't win.
Speaker 6: You can't win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was all I said.
Speaker 5: You know what.
Speaker 1: High school college NFL UFL and now girls flag high
Speaker 1: school football, you better have a quarterback.
Speaker 6: Well still football, right, it's still football.
Speaker 5: The beautiful thing about this flag football is you don't
Speaker 5: have to worry about or left tackle either.
Speaker 6: That's a good one.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah. So anyway, that's going on tonight. We got
Speaker 5: much to get to. Yes, I just came from my
Speaker 5: grandson's kindergarten graduation. That's why I'm dressed up today. Very
Speaker 5: nice graduation season. Kindergarty morning oh afterwards, No, No, it
Speaker 5: was this morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went to one this past weekend. It was
Speaker 3: like nine o'clock in the morning, all of them in
Speaker 3: the morning.
Speaker 5: Now yeah yeah so, but but it was it kindergarten. No,
Speaker 5: this was kindergarten graduation.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they I think they graduate every grade. They
Speaker 5: have a kindergarten graduation, first grade, second.
Speaker 6: It sounds like a participation in trophy town.
Speaker 5: I think, well, they charged admission, so well, yeah, make money. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's right, anyway to make money. But we got so
Speaker 5: much to get to because we not only had these
Speaker 5: scheduled release we got.
Speaker 1: That seems like a year ago. We got was last week.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got league meetings going on this week, and
Speaker 5: there's topics to talk about there, and we've got ot
Speaker 5: a's and the next three to four weeks are big
Speaker 5: around here because of ot as. The next three weeks
Speaker 5: and the mandatory mini camp and uh, we're just a
Speaker 5: little over two months away now from reporting to Oxnard,
Speaker 5: California for training camp July twenty, which is my anniversary.
Speaker 5: Is it's going to be an issue?
Speaker 6: It's always about Bill.
Speaker 5: Well, it's a big anniversary number forty.
Speaker 6: Oh damn, Yeah, that's nice. Not about you. It's about it.
Speaker 5: I got to figure that out.
Speaker 8: Is always the draft.
Speaker 3: So all right, So where would you like to start
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day?
Speaker 5: Didn't you double up?
Speaker 6: Yes, that's right, you got them.
Speaker 5: You know, that's a great idea.
Speaker 6: What things?
Speaker 1: My great idea was I didn't want to have to
Speaker 1: cover the old miss Uh spring game.
Speaker 7: I got married that weekend.
Speaker 6: Things predicated on football, that's right.
Speaker 8: Right, And I've always said, dude gets married during.
Speaker 7: Football, so that's right.
Speaker 5: Nobody, I mean, you can't get married during football.
Speaker 1: And we have a grand tour coming, yes we do.
Speaker 5: It's so distressed, that's right, all right?
Speaker 8: So where do we start?
Speaker 5: Where would you like to start?
Speaker 1: I want to start with the schedule.
Speaker 5: We start with the schedule. And when the schedule came out,
Speaker 5: I proclaimed that six games stretch has to be there.
Speaker 5: There has to be no other, no other team in
Speaker 5: the history of football that has been scheduled a six
Speaker 5: games stretch with as many wins from the previous season
Speaker 5: on their opponent's record as this one. And sure enough
Speaker 5: it was verified by Elias the next day. It wasn't
Speaker 5: it is the just based on the one loss record
Speaker 5: for those teams season. That six game stretch that starts
Speaker 5: with Philadelphia on Thanksgiving week the Sunday before Thanksgiving, continues
Speaker 5: with Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day, Detroit the following Thursday.
Speaker 5: See if I got it down, Minnesota the next week,
Speaker 5: and Chargers the next wee. Yeah, Chargers that I thought
Speaker 5: it was Sugg. Yeah, Chargers the next week, and then
Speaker 5: when you get to Christmas Day and Washington, did I
Speaker 5: miss one in there? Okay? Six games there The combined
Speaker 5: record of those six games, six teams, six opponents last
Speaker 5: year eighty one and twenty one. And there has been
Speaker 5: no six game stretch on a schedule where you've had
Speaker 5: all opponents in that six games win eleven games or
Speaker 5: more the previous season.
Speaker 1: What about having to play the two conference champions back
Speaker 1: to back back back, and so that means three straight
Speaker 1: division champions Philadelphia, Kansas City, Detroit.
Speaker 5: Right, So why were you waving your arms like I was,
Speaker 5: because it appeared to be in disagreement. No, No, you
Speaker 5: were agreed.
Speaker 1: I was getting ready to say.
Speaker 6: What I didn't want you to steal this, Doune.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 8: What I wrote.
Speaker 1: I said somewhere with that stretch, that NFL computer is giggling.
Speaker 8: Because it's like, it can't be. You got seventeen.
Speaker 1: Games, those six, right, six in a row?
Speaker 2: Just like that.
Speaker 1: I'm going, Yeah, somebody's having fun.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: That's always the most difficult part of the season for
Speaker 3: the Cowboys because of the Thanksgiving game and the scheduling
Speaker 3: that goes on that time of year.
Speaker 6: So we already had to deal with the scheduling alone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now we're talking about the quality of teams that
Speaker 3: are within that schedule, which by even double tough.
Speaker 1: Those three, the three to start that in twelve days.
Speaker 1: Twelve days, that's my point, and the two to end
Speaker 1: it are in four days.
Speaker 8: Yes, how does that happen?
Speaker 3: You know, they've always laided on us this time of year.
Speaker 3: They always do. I mean you, I mean serious, It
Speaker 3: has been this serious. But they've always laden on the
Speaker 3: schedule makers have always put it to us during this
Speaker 3: time of year, sometime of our Thanksgiving. It's just that's
Speaker 3: just the way it is for us. It's been like
Speaker 3: that for quite some time.
Speaker 6: They have.
Speaker 5: I don't think they've ever scheduled on Thanksgiving Day and
Speaker 5: opponent quite like Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day. I think
Speaker 5: you would look at it, think I think you could
Speaker 5: look through the sixty year history of the game and
Speaker 5: if everybody's healthy going into that, this will be the
Speaker 5: most anticipated Thanksgiving Day game ever for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: We talked about our last show, right, we said, would
Speaker 1: they put Kansas City on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 8: And it was like well, that.
Speaker 1: Game's so big you're gonna watch on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 8: Guard, I go, yeah.
Speaker 1: But the connection with the Chiefs being here and.
Speaker 5: It's the it's mahomes first NFL game ever at at
Speaker 5: and T Stadium.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there was there was reason when they you know,
Speaker 1: they only play every four years. Yeah, and they were
Speaker 1: on the road at Kansas City four years ago, and
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, his rookie season, he didn't play.
Speaker 7: Okay, was that the Miles Austin game?
Speaker 5: No, that's going way back.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's farther back.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, come home, Man.
Speaker 6: What is happening here? Miles?
Speaker 1: He said, I believe we're going back to two thousand.
Speaker 6: And nine, Miles Austin. What is happening?
Speaker 5: Anyway, there's your six game stretch, So that means the
Speaker 5: Cowboys need to go what the first ten games of
Speaker 5: the season before you hit that stretch. So, having said
Speaker 5: all of that, Having said all of that, just because
Speaker 5: they were all eleven wins or more last year doesn't
Speaker 5: mean they're going to be that this year. Although I
Speaker 5: look at those seams and I'm thinking they might be. Well,
Speaker 5: Minnesota's got a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1: Can you go seven and three over the first ten.
Speaker 6: You're going to have to I think you should.
Speaker 3: I think you should look forward to doing that because
Speaker 3: as you get into after November, well Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5: Yeah, November twenty third is when it starts. Okay, what
Speaker 5: can you go during that six game stretch? You think,
Speaker 5: can you go three and three during that stretch? And
Speaker 5: that being the case, if you went seven and three
Speaker 5: prior to that year to ten wins going into the
Speaker 5: finale at the Giants.
Speaker 3: You got you gotta look forward to. Uh, others having
Speaker 3: a tough schedule as well. I mean, you know Philadelphia
Speaker 3: is not going to have it easy.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing is when you look at the
Speaker 5: NFC East this year and everybody's playing the NFC North
Speaker 5: and everybody's playing the AFC.
Speaker 3: West, and so that's tough. Yeah, that's tough, And I
Speaker 3: love it. Philadelphia's going through the same crap we're going through.
Speaker 1: They just don't they just don't have it back to
Speaker 1: back to back, right, But at some point and they're
Speaker 1: actually having a tough and actually they're playing a tougher
Speaker 1: schedule on paper based on last year's record and what
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are because they're playing the first place schedule,
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are playing the third.
Speaker 3: Place and the Cowboys they just happen to be playing
Speaker 3: all of their tough teams towards.
Speaker 6: The end of the season. And when you still got
Speaker 6: the Commanders, you.
Speaker 3: Still have Green Bay, you still got Philadelphia at home,
Speaker 3: but away, I mean, that's.
Speaker 5: And we knew this before, so last wins.
Speaker 6: Yeah, come on, man.
Speaker 1: The Eagles have to play eleven games against playoff teams.
Speaker 1: So at home, they've got Detroit, the Rams, Denver, and
Speaker 1: then it's Raiders Chicago. Away they got to play Green Bay, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Kansas City, the Chargers, and the Bills, so
Speaker 1: every one of their away games is against the team
Speaker 1: that went to the playoffs.
Speaker 5: But the real difference is and when you look at
Speaker 5: division rivals, Okay, there's only three games on each team
Speaker 5: schedule that's different from the other teams, right, And for
Speaker 5: the Cowboys because of their third place finished last year,
Speaker 5: those three games are at the Jets, at the Panthers,
Speaker 5: and home against Arizona. For the Eagles, those three games
Speaker 5: are at the Bills, at Tampa Bay, and home against
Speaker 5: the Rams. So there's the Yeah, the difference in the
Speaker 5: schedule is in terms of one lost record from last year.
Speaker 6: Well they've got the thanks the Thanksgiving game alone.
Speaker 3: Does that make it any different for other teams as
Speaker 3: it does make a difference for us the Cowboys. What
Speaker 3: do you mean You just think we go out to
Speaker 3: the scheduling itself. Well, having to play on Thanksgiving Day, they.
Speaker 1: Got to play on Thanksgiving Day, they got to play
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day.
Speaker 7: And I'm not happy about them.
Speaker 3: I mean to me, that just didn't ask me though.
Speaker 3: To me, that just adds to the difficulty of.
Speaker 9: The schedule, and not only on the road, but on
Speaker 9: the East Coast because the previous times they played on
Speaker 9: Christmas they were night games.
Speaker 1: And they two of them were in Phoenix and one
Speaker 1: was Nashville. And I flew to the games that day
Speaker 1: like noon, got there for nightday.
Speaker 5: So you were there for Santa Claus who delivered this
Speaker 5: one meal. So you were there to open presence difficult overnight.
Speaker 5: Now this time you can't do that.
Speaker 1: Have you ever woke up on Christmas morning in a
Speaker 1: hotel room.
Speaker 6: I have not. I think you have.
Speaker 7: It sounds sad.
Speaker 6: You hear the whispering my voice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it happens a lot for college football teams in
Speaker 5: a Bowl game, but they're amongst friends, family, right, and
Speaker 5: family is there too?
Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of times.
Speaker 3: So once again, am I wrong in thinking this that
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving Day, doesn't that just
Speaker 3: add to the.
Speaker 6: The difficulty of this to the South?
Speaker 1: Yea, because he's gonna play You're gonna play the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl champion on Sunday and the Super Bowl runner up
Speaker 1: on Thursday.
Speaker 6: Have we ever done it two games? Has it been
Speaker 6: difficult this stretch right here? Has it ever been that difficult?
Speaker 6: Six games?
Speaker 5: Elias says that there's never been a six game stretch
Speaker 5: on the schedule where all six opponents won at least
Speaker 5: eleven games a year before.
Speaker 6: So we better kick ass doing these first.
Speaker 5: Uh, yeah, you better come out of.
Speaker 6: The seven ten games or whatever.
Speaker 5: Now, one thing about the Thursday is now everybody's playing
Speaker 5: Thursday games.
Speaker 6: Okay, And that's what I was asking.
Speaker 5: We're looking at multiple but playing four, well, but only
Speaker 5: two of them are on short.
Speaker 6: Short rest as opposed to the other teams.
Speaker 5: Well, and I'll have to go back and look, there's
Speaker 5: a number of teams that are playing multiple Thursday. In fact,
Speaker 5: all of the ones that are playing on Thanksgiving Day
Speaker 5: or Christmas Day are at some point during the season
Speaker 5: where there may not be playing on both holidays, but
Speaker 5: they're playing two Thursday games on short rest.
Speaker 6: So the holidays don't really make a difference, not.
Speaker 5: The holiday, but the difference from the time. Of course,
Speaker 5: the difference.
Speaker 6: For the holiday, that's a whole different other thing.
Speaker 5: The difference for the Cowboys from past seasons is this
Speaker 5: is the first time they played two Thursday games in
Speaker 5: the same season on short rest. They've played two Thursday games,
Speaker 5: but they've always scheduled it where they play on a
Speaker 5: week on Thanksgiving and then they play the following Thursday,
Speaker 5: and so it's not two on short rest.
Speaker 1: So all this notion, by the way Cowboys coming off
Speaker 1: of seven and ten season, is that they're losing their
Speaker 1: national appeal right seven nationally televised games.
Speaker 7: That's the most you're supposed to be able to have.
Speaker 1: And playing on well, we knew they'd play on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: but they got chosen to play on washed, i mean Christmas.
Speaker 1: So what does that say.
Speaker 5: They got chosen to play on the kickoff to the
Speaker 5: season two. Yes, yes, Thursday.
Speaker 1: So you know, some people need to retrack their their
Speaker 1: premise that the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: We still got the baby, still look good and lipstick.
Speaker 6: We look good with lipstick, are we?
Speaker 1: And by the way, from from a season ticket standpoint,
Speaker 1: I remember Stephen Jones pointed out that they had ninety
Speaker 1: nine renewals of their season tickets. Go online and try
Speaker 1: to find a single game ticket available. I looked at
Speaker 1: like three games.
Speaker 6: Well, let me let me say and it was standing.
Speaker 6: Let me say that the.
Speaker 3: Cowboys, I don't think they have the appeal of uneven
Speaker 3: matchups such as if the Cowboys you know so much
Speaker 3: better than let's say, with Carolina, that that appeal isn't
Speaker 3: there playing someone like Carolina, or maybe playing someone like.
Speaker 6: The Jets if they continue to flail the way they are.
Speaker 3: But if you, if you have us matched up against
Speaker 3: quality teams, that's where it gets to be so intriguing
Speaker 3: for the fans and for TV.
Speaker 1: Well, how about having a Monday night game against Arizona
Speaker 1: to get you all fired up? Yeah, but they are
Speaker 1: they are right.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't think it would. I wouldn't think it would.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think it it would compare to playing against
Speaker 3: Detroit or playing against on NBC. I don't think I
Speaker 3: wouldn't think it would compare to that.
Speaker 5: I mean even the first if you were concerned about
Speaker 5: home versus road, the first six games, four of them.
Speaker 10: Are on the road.
Speaker 5: That you better be ready to play and you better
Speaker 5: be able able to win on the road. These are
Speaker 5: winnable games at Chicago, at the Jets, at the Panther.
Speaker 3: The only way you're going to win on the road
Speaker 3: is with a running game and with defense. So the
Speaker 3: only way you're going to consistently win.
Speaker 1: What they did at Pittsburgh last year, remember that, you know,
Speaker 1: And there was a I saw a lot of worries
Speaker 1: about having.
Speaker 5: To help the fields.
Speaker 6: Was a quarterback.
Speaker 3: They have tones field, we can't put all on fields.
Speaker 3: He got offensive line.
Speaker 1: Well, I saw a lot of worries about having to
Speaker 1: open against Philadelphia, And I'm going, you know what, let's go,
Speaker 1: let's go, you know, go in the locker room right
Speaker 1: now and just put Eagles on the video board and
Speaker 1: and put it out on the field, because you better
Speaker 1: get your butt ready to play football, right And if
Speaker 1: you need some extra incentive, if opening on the first
Speaker 1: day of the NFL season isn't enough, you got to play.
Speaker 8: The Eagle, Come on go.
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, you know, and you got a
Speaker 1: new coaching staff and a new coordinator. This is new.
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, and Philadelphia, you doesn't know what right
Speaker 1: or what he's gonna do.
Speaker 6: They can only think they have it.
Speaker 1: They're gonna show anything in those three preseason games.
Speaker 8: Are you serious?
Speaker 1: They may not even.
Speaker 6: Play monoculars outside looking for spy because we're.
Speaker 3: Gonna have something new for But when you when you
Speaker 3: look at this team, they're going to.
Speaker 6: Have to have.
Speaker 3: First of all, we gotta have talent. You have to
Speaker 3: believe in your team having talent. We picked up some talent.
Speaker 3: We picked up Pickings. I saw the interview the other day.
Speaker 3: I hope it's not just hype. But I'm sure you
Speaker 3: saw it. CD and Pickings at the same spot. I
Speaker 3: don't know where they were. They wear a game or something,
Speaker 3: and CD was blagging on Pickings. Pickings blagging on CD.
Speaker 3: That's the kind of stuff you like to see. I
Speaker 3: hope it stays true because if you have guys that
Speaker 3: admire each other like that, expect each other like that,
Speaker 3: then it doesn't matter who gets to cook right, it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. We're not gonna have any issues in that regard.
Speaker 3: As far as personality, is concerned. We have talent on
Speaker 3: this team now, a little bit better talent than.
Speaker 6: We had last year.
Speaker 3: I believe, especially the potential because a lot of them
Speaker 3: now are younger.
Speaker 6: It's younger talent. But I don't know about the beginning
Speaker 6: of the season.
Speaker 3: Once we get these guys back from these injuries and
Speaker 3: the acls and all of that, we're gonna have to
Speaker 3: be ready to go by Let's say the Commander's game,
Speaker 3: the first Commander's game, uh here at home.
Speaker 5: Which is October nineteenth, which is the seventh game of
Speaker 5: the season.
Speaker 3: We gotta be We're gonna we're gonna be I think
Speaker 3: we're gonna be struggling una til that.
Speaker 6: I don't think we'll have our team.
Speaker 5: We can't be struggling. If we got a six game
Speaker 5: stretch coming up Thanksgiving, this we gotta rack up wins.
Speaker 6: I go. You don't know.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be easy, guys, It's not gonna be easy.
Speaker 3: This team is gonna struggle coming out. I'm sorry, they're
Speaker 3: gonna struggle coming out. You just gotta be ready for
Speaker 3: now those knocks that they're gonna take, that's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 3: Don't be scared. Bill don't be afraid, because you're gonna
Speaker 3: be ready. Now remember iron sharp as iron. You don't remember,
Speaker 3: Come on, you gotta be ready for that.
Speaker 5: You just talk about September football, and September football is
Speaker 5: not like November football.
Speaker 6: No, it is better.
Speaker 5: They better. They need to treat September football like November football.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be hard.
Speaker 3: To do when you got you got guys still trying
Speaker 3: to ramp up outside. Okay, let's just be real. We
Speaker 3: got guys ramping up. Okay, let's say about Green Bay.
Speaker 3: You're still gonna have guys ramping up. That's the fourth
Speaker 3: game green You're still gonna.
Speaker 6: Have guys ramping up outside. Okay, let's just be real
Speaker 6: about that.
Speaker 1: You got four bowl games before you hit November.
Speaker 5: Which bunch of those Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Green Bay, May Washing Washington,
Speaker 5: and Denver.
Speaker 1: In Denver, you all get playoff teams from last year.
Speaker 3: Now, how do you think a seven and ten team
Speaker 3: is gonna do against all playoffs?
Speaker 5: Now, that was a seven and ten team that didn't
Speaker 5: have its quarterback though, yes, really ten games in the
Speaker 5: season because he got hurt the tenth.
Speaker 7: Game, that's right, So they're gonna sneak up on people.
Speaker 6: They better, they better tiptoe.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be no.
Speaker 7: I'm not going to use that idealogy.
Speaker 6: Please don't. If you question it then.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, Okay, we're just getting started here. There's some
Speaker 5: things going on at the league meetings this week that
Speaker 5: we need to address. It also affects divisions and schedules,

Speaker 5: Okay, very good, some reason my headset's not working.
Speaker 6: Could you hear me? Fine?
Speaker 7: I can hear Okay, I'll just live with it. Then
Speaker 7: I'm right here.
Speaker 5: Okay, but neither one I got dead set on. Okay,
Speaker 5: so just.
Speaker 7: Take them off.
Speaker 5: You probably could hear me, I can hear you fine,
Speaker 5: And I heard producers supreme too right before that, and
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, I couldn't hear ever since. Okay,
Speaker 5: you're aware of what's going on with these little winter meetings, yes,
Speaker 5: I mean a spring meetings league meetings in Minneapolis which
Speaker 5: start tomorrow. What what intrigues you about it?
Speaker 1: To see maybe what they decide on eliminating Australian rules
Speaker 1: football from the game.
Speaker 7: Mean push, no, every push?
Speaker 1: Okay, get rid of all the pushes. Don't don't just
Speaker 1: say tush push five yards down the field and you're
Speaker 1: pushing the running back another five yards three offense.
Speaker 6: That kind of gets the offensive lineman excited.
Speaker 1: You don't like that, No, it's not.
Speaker 6: I mean I'm not talking about the tush push.
Speaker 1: I mean, like that's that's because if you do that,
Speaker 1: then you're not saying I'm penalizing one team, right, because
Speaker 1: everybody's saying, oh, they're penalizing the Eagles because they're good
Speaker 1: at it. No, get rid of all. That's the way
Speaker 1: U when you played there was no football. There was
Speaker 1: no pushing when you played.
Speaker 3: But they did allow they had stopped it, Yes they did,
Speaker 3: and then they let it come back, right, and now
Speaker 3: they're trying to stop it again.
Speaker 1: Well I'm saying they should. I don't know.
Speaker 6: They're not talking about that.
Speaker 1: No, they're going to talk about it because it got represented.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like, well, the Packers are pissed because
Speaker 1: the Eagles tush pushed them, and it's not about to me,
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be about one play. It should be about
Speaker 1: all the pushing.
Speaker 5: And it sounds like they're going to do something about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I think so, and they need to. Somebody's
Speaker 1: get that pushing stuff is going to get hurt. It
Speaker 1: happens on the goal line, doesn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but nobody's gotten hurt yet.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, I know it.
Speaker 3: Just I think, why not adopted or adopted? Why not
Speaker 3: adopted the push tush push instead of getting.
Speaker 7: Rid of it?
Speaker 1: So which team? It was a playoff game right where
Speaker 1: they had like three off sides in a row because
Speaker 1: they were gambled.
Speaker 5: Washing Washington.
Speaker 6: They kept going cut.
Speaker 1: They just had on myine NFL network. When he became
Speaker 1: an American citizen, he's from.
Speaker 7: Samoa, I think.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, so at one point they had to
Speaker 1: point out do it one more time and it's a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So yeah, do we need that because that's what you
Speaker 1: should do. What do you have to lose if you're
Speaker 1: at the one yard line? Oh you're off sides? Okay,
Speaker 1: it's half a yard. Oh you're off sides.
Speaker 3: Now you're saying that's where the injuries could come, where
Speaker 3: everyone's just selling out.
Speaker 1: Could to jump over the shop, right, because they're not.
Speaker 1: They're not eliminating jumping over the top.
Speaker 6: If I would, I'd be offended because I have something
Speaker 6: that works for me.
Speaker 1: I understand.
Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: It needs to be.
Speaker 1: Presented the way I did, not punishing Philly. You're punishing
Speaker 1: all the pushing going.
Speaker 6: On, but you're punishing Philly.
Speaker 1: Well, right, it's just.
Speaker 5: Part of it, right, Because they've got a quarterback who
Speaker 5: can squat six hundred pounds.
Speaker 8: Well, and that's that.
Speaker 3: But the recruiting they got the guy they wanted to
Speaker 3: do the things they want.
Speaker 1: But a quarterback sneak will with him will probably be
Speaker 1: equally effective.
Speaker 5: I think so too, right that it won't be as effective.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know because that now they don't.
Speaker 3: Know why it won't be as effective because we're trying
Speaker 3: to change the rules right now. So that means it
Speaker 3: is damn effective, right, I mean, so it's more effective now.
Speaker 3: I mean the percentage of it working with push versus without,
Speaker 3: it's better with If I'm I'm speaking as Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 6: Here, right, and so i'd be I'd be upset.
Speaker 3: Well, because you guys are personally attacking something that we
Speaker 3: came up with and my my coaching staff came up
Speaker 3: with that just happens to be elite.
Speaker 1: I don't care where on the field. If it's third
Speaker 1: and short, I'm or fourth and short, I'm playing the percentages.
Speaker 1: I'm jumping to the snap and if they get it,
Speaker 1: they get it because chances are the percentage says they're
Speaker 1: going to get it anyway, right, they can't stop it.
Speaker 5: Well, here's what Frankie Luvu said about it. It's kind
Speaker 5: of like a cheap o play. That's pretty much a
Speaker 5: scrum and rugby. That's why I kind of look at it,
Speaker 5: and we've got to have a scrum two on the
Speaker 5: other side. And the scrum is we have a cadence
Speaker 5: where we all go at once. It's not like you
Speaker 5: hard count and this and that where now you're getting
Speaker 5: us or myself jumping over the pile thinking that you're
Speaker 5: going to snap the ball. That's just my own personal opinion.
Speaker 5: I'm going to leave it at that.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe what they need to do is bring out
Speaker 1: a rope and play tuggle war.
Speaker 5: So if you're going to run or the there's no
Speaker 5: instead of if you're going to run the play, yes,
Speaker 5: you've got to run the play, there's no cadence, there's
Speaker 5: no the quarterback doesn't signal for the snap of the ball,
Speaker 5: the referee does, you got one three go.
Speaker 6: That way.
Speaker 5: There's no advantage.
Speaker 1: Because going forwards easier than trying to push backwards. Right,
Speaker 1: So I think that's one of the things that they're
Speaker 1: that will be probably the main and.
Speaker 3: They'll probably out voted, but I mean they'll vote it
Speaker 3: out right.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm thinking, which is why I think they're bringing.
Speaker 3: It back because there are not many people speaking for
Speaker 3: the push push.
Speaker 6: There's not many people speaking for it at all, just Jefferson.
Speaker 1: And Siriani in this home here.
Speaker 5: Okay, what about the playoff seating that they're talking about,
Speaker 5: meaning meaning best records are seated one through four, not
Speaker 5: Winvision champion, not get the top four seed if they
Speaker 5: don't have the one of the top four records. I
Speaker 5: got a big problem with this, for or against. I
Speaker 5: keep it the way it is.
Speaker 1: Yes, me too. It's an vision game because if you
Speaker 1: are going to just seed by record.
Speaker 5: You might as well throw out the divisions. You don't
Speaker 5: have divisions, right, Well, it's the NBA, now. I never
Speaker 5: in the NBA. I never look at the divisions when
Speaker 5: I'm looking at the playoffs, That's right, I only go
Speaker 5: to the conference. Right. Why do you even there's no
Speaker 5: even a reason to have them by division there now.
Speaker 5: The only reason to have the divisions is for scheduling purposes,
Speaker 5: which is the precise reason that it makes no sense
Speaker 5: to do it by one loss record, because certain divisions
Speaker 5: have a tougher schedule than other divisions have.
Speaker 1: In the paper, when they run the NBA standings, just
Speaker 1: run the conference because I don't.
Speaker 6: Want to have to try.
Speaker 5: That's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: One two, Oh, there's the cutoff, and that'll.
Speaker 5: Be what it is. In the NFL, there is no
Speaker 5: reason to have division standings. It would be just be
Speaker 5: conference standing.
Speaker 1: But again, at least in the NBA, you're sort of
Speaker 1: playing everybody in the night if you don't play everybody.
Speaker 5: And so if they do this, then they need to
Speaker 5: do away with the way they've been scheduling games and
Speaker 5: scheduling it very effectively to make it very competitive for years,
Speaker 5: and they need to just draw names, draw names out
Speaker 5: of a hat, and schedule that way. If you're going
Speaker 5: to do it this way, no case in point is
Speaker 5: this year. We talked about it earlier. The NFC East
Speaker 5: is playing the NFC North and the AFC West this year.
Speaker 5: So what are the odds that an NFC East team
Speaker 5: is going to win fourteen games this year? It's going
Speaker 5: to be very difficult for any of them too, because
Speaker 5: they're assuming that the teams are essentially the same as
Speaker 5: they last year. But I mean, you can do this
Speaker 5: for any for any year. So the divisions are not scheduled,
Speaker 5: the schedules are not the same for all the divisions.
Speaker 3: It's what's the devil's advocate? What's the devil's advocate for
Speaker 3: changing uh? The present format?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 6: Why would someone want to change it? Why are they're
Speaker 6: voting against.
Speaker 5: It because they feel like they feel like they just
Speaker 5: like this past year, you had Minnesota and Detroit who
Speaker 5: had and only one of those could be a division champion, Detroit,
Speaker 5: So Minnesota had.
Speaker 6: To go on the road.
Speaker 5: That's actually and they lost Troit. That's proposing it exactly right,
Speaker 5: And that's one of the reasons. Well, they would have
Speaker 5: played at home and they if they went at home field, event.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they would play.
Speaker 15: Well, how about Detroit, what did Detroit do? They got
Speaker 15: They got beat by Washington, right exactly. And so if
Speaker 15: you're good enough to go win on the road, you
Speaker 15: go win on the road. Dallas did it at Tampa
Speaker 15: Bay a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: This schedule aren't equitable.
Speaker 16: So if they did it last year, two of the
Speaker 16: division winners would have not had to play on the road.
Speaker 1: If they did it last year, does that make sense?
Speaker 16: So yeah, so last year, the top four would have
Speaker 16: been Detroit, Philly. Okay, Detroit got the first round, by
Speaker 16: it'd be Philly, and then Minnesota was fourteen and three
Speaker 16: and Washington was twelve and five, so Washington would have
Speaker 16: got a home game, and then it would have been
Speaker 16: Green Bay would have been the next seed, which was
Speaker 16: the worst seed in the conference, and then Tampa and
Speaker 16: the Rams were the bottom two.
Speaker 1: So the two division winners would be the bottom.
Speaker 6: Two teams in the six and seven seeds.
Speaker 5: How does that make sense?
Speaker 1: So the NFL's idea of the meek shall inherit kind
Speaker 1: of blows away this saying the divisions don't count because
Speaker 1: it's not equitable, so you got to do it by division.
Speaker 1: There's no other way around it.
Speaker 6: Well, that that's that probably will be voted down.
Speaker 5: The change we'll see.
Speaker 7: Yeah, hopefully it'll be voted down because it's it's just
Speaker 7: not Yeah.
Speaker 5: It depends it's working great the way it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so much depends on which division you're playing.
Speaker 3: So you got everybody in Minnesota they want to they
Speaker 3: want to vote this down. Probably the ones that were
Speaker 3: they had to play effected, Yeah, negatively.
Speaker 1: I think those are probably the two main things. I
Speaker 1: don't know that they've got another rule change or anything.
Speaker 1: There may be an emphasis of something, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so those are the two main I would think
Speaker 3: so things on the document.
Speaker 1: So with the old tas starting today, we get to
Speaker 1: meaning the media type get to watch one of one
Speaker 1: of the three each week and our.
Speaker 7: Day is tomorrow. But by the way, before we leave this.
Speaker 5: I had looked this up. Okay, when Dallas went to
Speaker 5: play Tampa Bay two years ago in the playoffs or
Speaker 5: win the Dallas what twenty twenty two seasons?
Speaker 6: That what it was?
Speaker 5: Dallas finished second the division, had a twelve and five record.
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay won the NFC South with an eight and
Speaker 5: nine record. Okay, so that would be a great case for, well,
Speaker 5: why do we have to go play on the road
Speaker 5: against a team that went eight and nine and we're
Speaker 5: sitting here at twelve and five? Are we complaining about it?
Speaker 5: You go to Tampa and you win.
Speaker 3: With a super Bowl Hall of Fame qull the bet
Speaker 3: and against one, And.
Speaker 5: That's a great case for if you're good enough, you go.
Speaker 7: On the road, right, you know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm not sure. If it's not weather related,
Speaker 1: going on the road shouldn't be that difficult. I don't
Speaker 1: care if you've got sixty thousand people there and fifty
Speaker 1: five thousand or cheering, you know against you, you're so
Speaker 1: far away, right, It's not like hockey or basketball when
Speaker 1: everybody's right on top of you.
Speaker 5: But to your point, the equitable way that the NFL
Speaker 5: has designed their whole season, their schedule is based on
Speaker 5: the divisions and you are throwing that out the window.
Speaker 5: If you're going to throw those records out the window
Speaker 5: and say, okay, a team from the NFC South or
Speaker 5: the NFC West because they have a better record well
Speaker 5: than the NFC East team or whatever it might be.
Speaker 1: Then don't play two games against your division opponents, just
Speaker 1: playing one, I got to say, and add three games
Speaker 1: from other divisions.
Speaker 3: I have to push back on you. As far as
Speaker 3: playing on the road in football, you.
Speaker 1: Think it makes that bigger difference, It makes.
Speaker 6: It makes a big difference. It can make a big difference.
Speaker 3: I just think of certain arenas such as Super the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, the Super Dome, right Domino Orleans that that.
Speaker 1: But almost everybody has an indoor facility.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's it's them a dating Well those are
Speaker 3: the people, yes, I know, And.
Speaker 6: They're a loud as hell. And when you get in there, man,
Speaker 6: and and and everything is just concentrated on the field itself.
Speaker 6: You can feel it.
Speaker 3: I don't care if it's hockey, basketball, football is no different.
Speaker 6: You can feel it. If that team is really filed
Speaker 6: up enough.
Speaker 3: You go into a remember r f K Stadium, that
Speaker 3: was not a nice place to be when those stands
Speaker 3: start moving in the in the in.
Speaker 6: The end zone.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but you weren't watching that.
Speaker 6: I could see it. You could see it.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: If you start looking around when especially when they started
Speaker 3: whipping y ass and you start looking at rights.
Speaker 5: What I was about to say, You talk about getting
Speaker 5: off to a good start in the season, you better
Speaker 5: get off to a good start in that game. In
Speaker 5: the game, the walls will start.
Speaker 6: That's it, man.
Speaker 1: The hard part was when they turned the hot water
Speaker 1: off after the game.
Speaker 6: That was the worst, the worst.
Speaker 1: On Garrison told water was so cold. We played them
Speaker 1: in December. I just rore my uniform back on the
Speaker 1: charter flight. I wasn't getting in the shower.

Speaker 3: we got to talk about these guys.
Speaker 17: You can't believe I had to watch that game on
Speaker 17: my phone. Why I I was helping with the East
Speaker 17: Dallas Exchange Clubs yearly fundraising dinner and I had a
Speaker 17: part in it. And so which by the way, Timmy
Speaker 17: Newsom was there, and he said to tell Everson High, Okay, you.
Speaker 6: Got a part.
Speaker 1: They were honoring, uh Drew Pearson.
Speaker 7: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, Drew was great.
Speaker 6: They had always.
Speaker 1: They had Dale Hansen and Brad Sham interviewing Drew.
Speaker 6: So I they came back for that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he shows up for that every year.
Speaker 1: I stole one of Brad's plan lines when I had
Speaker 1: to talk about why I do this or whatever, and
Speaker 1: I said, oh, and by the way, Drew talked about
Speaker 1: that one hundred and fifty dollars signing bonus. He got
Speaker 1: seventy five of it, he told When his wife asked him,
Speaker 1: how much did you get, he said, I told her
Speaker 1: seventy five dollars because I took the other seventy five
Speaker 1: to the athletic door and took all the boys out drinking.
Speaker 1: I remember him telling me that story.
Speaker 6: So so talk to him. Did you enjoy the match
Speaker 6: even though it was on your phone?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I watch a lot of games on my phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not when you got people around. You can't
Speaker 1: like start screaming or whatever. Right.
Speaker 5: You know where you get in trouble is when you
Speaker 5: go to a wedding and there's a game on, yeah,
Speaker 5: and you're watching. I've done that before.
Speaker 8: The good thing it wasn't It wasn't my own daughters.
Speaker 6: It was like that there's a commercial out there like that.
Speaker 6: By the way, Oh yeah, yeah, wedding watching.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll be there at the for sure. At the
Speaker 1: wedding reception. I got my I don't have my phone.
Speaker 1: I bring my iPad for that. Gotta set up on
Speaker 1: our table. We're watching a football but you shouldn't. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't have scheduled a wedding in football season.
Speaker 5: Right, This is the price, just how I go.
Speaker 1: Good thing for me was the two guys or the
Speaker 1: couples that were sitting next to me at the table.
Speaker 7: They were wanted, I must score. Where's it atten?
Speaker 1: I'm going okay, they understand it if I shout or something,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 3: Think, just the the most amazing thing about them is
Speaker 3: I saw these guys flailing at the end of the season.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't go. The Mini Stars game.
Speaker 5: Went on into the playoffs. The first part of the
Speaker 5: first round of the playoffs too, they were really struggling.
Speaker 6: I remember the Jets whipping our butts for nothing.
Speaker 1: I was there, man, I just I keep going back
Speaker 1: and I had to watch two more for nothing.
Speaker 6: Man. It was crazy, And so you sit there and think,
Speaker 6: how can you There was no momentum going into the
Speaker 6: playoffs at all, But then you got your playoffs back.
Speaker 5: You know what. The Rangers did the exact same thing
Speaker 5: when they won the World Series. They were flailing like
Speaker 5: crazy in September and then all of a sudden they
Speaker 5: got it going when they had to get going. So
Speaker 5: there's a lesson to be learned.
Speaker 3: Well, if you get your players back, huh had and
Speaker 3: then they didn't. They acquire a player from.
Speaker 1: Another team at the trade.
Speaker 5: Here's the deal, here's the deal with what the Stars did.
Speaker 5: We're all going crazy about Luca getting traded to the Lakers.
Speaker 5: The very same day that Luca got traded to the Lakers,
Speaker 5: Jim Nil the Stars, GM acquired Mikyle Grassland from Yes
Speaker 5: and he's had a hat trick last week, the boy
Speaker 5: first the same day, and then a month later he
Speaker 5: acquired Miko Ranton And well, we're still distraught over the
Speaker 5: Luca trade, and all of a sudden, this this GM
Speaker 5: on the other side of the building is acquiring a
Speaker 5: Stanley Cup. Meanwhile, basically, what if the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: What if the Cowboys made it traded and gave away
Speaker 1: three years of first round picks and then they win
Speaker 1: the draft lottery, right yeah, and then when the draft lottery. Uh,
Speaker 1: the big the big difference for the Stars going forward
Speaker 1: now is Miro Haskinning can play his normal amount of minutes.
Speaker 1: And it showed in this last game. He was out there,
Speaker 1: he was carrying the puck.
Speaker 6: And he's a defense obviously four okay.
Speaker 1: The defenseman that can skate the puck out of their zone.
Speaker 5: It proves Nico right. Defense wins championships, right.
Speaker 1: So we started on Wednesday night.
Speaker 5: I'll be there against Edmonton.
Speaker 6: Edmonton we have a chance.
Speaker 5: Lost last year in the conference final to him, and
Speaker 5: this is the third straight year the Stars have been
Speaker 5: in the conference final. I haven't got past this point.
Speaker 5: So here we are.
Speaker 1: Don't kick as the goaltender has to be as good
Speaker 1: as he was in this He's always good.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 1: Since we're on other stuff, how about Scottie Scheffler.
Speaker 6: Can he Can he lose?
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Can he lose?
Speaker 5: There's two golfers.
Speaker 6: He was fussing the whole, the whole Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 1: Just I know. And then he struggled at Sunday because
Speaker 1: he shot par and he ended up winning by five,
Speaker 1: six strikes.
Speaker 5: He won by five he missed a putt on eighteen
Speaker 5: what he had a six stroke lead. He's the only
Speaker 5: the second golfer ever amazing to win and you may
Speaker 5: be thinking of something else, Okay, but he's the second
Speaker 5: golfer ever to win multi consecutive tournaments by five or
Speaker 5: more strokes. Tiger did it twice in his career. Scheffler
Speaker 5: won two weeks ago.
Speaker 6: Now at the.
Speaker 5: Field wasn't anywhere near a major field when they played
Speaker 5: at the Buyer Nelson two weeks ago. Uh, and he
Speaker 5: won by eight strokes.
Speaker 3: Would you compare him if you compare his field to
Speaker 3: when Tiger did it, you know, but.
Speaker 5: I can't remember the tournaments that Tiger did it, and
Speaker 5: it was I think one of them was a major.
Speaker 5: But anyway, and so I would I'm gonna no offense
Speaker 5: to the CJ Cup Buyer Nelson, but I would imagine
Speaker 5: the field that Tiger played against was more competitive than
Speaker 5: Stella what the Nelson has these days.
Speaker 1: Well, the eye opener was three major championships before at
Speaker 1: the by the age of twenty eight, and the only
Speaker 1: other two guys to do it was Jack Nicholas and
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods.
Speaker 5: And the list is short. He's won He's now won
Speaker 5: fifteen PGA Tour events and the list is very short.
Speaker 5: About five or six golfers who have done that before
Speaker 5: age twenty nine.
Speaker 3: You think if Ham wouldn't have flailed at the end,
Speaker 3: you think he would have yeah, Rom.
Speaker 1: Rom, Yeah, yeah, well you got you gotta can't flail,
Speaker 1: you can't.
Speaker 8: You can't.
Speaker 1: Can't hit the water twice in three.
Speaker 5: So yeah, if he wouldn't have played, it felt.
Speaker 6: I felt very good about that for some strange reason.
Speaker 6: I don't know. I just like, yeah, that's what I
Speaker 6: would do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know the lesson there is you go
Speaker 1: play in the live events, live or whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it.
Speaker 6: I said live, you.
Speaker 1: Got to play four rounds in the PGA, not three.
Speaker 6: So oh they only play three? Yeah, I did not
Speaker 6: know that.
Speaker 1: Come on, big boy, you got to play four. Can't
Speaker 1: shoot whatever.
Speaker 15: You But they make a lot more money fewer rounds.
Speaker 5: Unless you win the few tournaments. And Scheffler's playing Colonial
Speaker 5: this week too.
Speaker 1: Is it really could have three straight weeks of the
Speaker 1: local people.
Speaker 6: Go to Colonial anymore?
Speaker 4: Do they?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: They still draw? You know it's an easy drive, Rahim, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yes, I was thinking.
Speaker 5: The issue for the local tournaments now is the well,
Speaker 5: the issue for the Byron Nelson they haven't been able
Speaker 5: to find a home course.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: You know, it was very popular for fans back in
Speaker 5: the day when it was enterving at the Las Colina
Speaker 5: Sports Club, but it was but from a party standpoint,
Speaker 5: the pavilion, it was a thing that it was an event,
Speaker 5: and there's a lot of people that would go to
Speaker 5: the event that would never didn't realize there's a golf
Speaker 5: tournament going on.
Speaker 3: Okay, my mother said that we're having golf yet he
Speaker 3: was feeling.
Speaker 5: And also the field was much better then because of
Speaker 5: the respect they had for Byron when he was okay,
Speaker 5: And so then what's happened since then has been sad.
Speaker 5: I think it will eventually get traction again. But the
Speaker 5: issue that both tournaments are having right now is they've
Speaker 5: moved the PGA to May, and it was an August
Speaker 5: tournament and now that since they moved it to May,
Speaker 5: every the player's schedules are well, they're they're scheduled around
Speaker 5: that major. And if you're playing, like in the case
Speaker 5: of the Colonial, they're playing the week after the PGA Championship,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of golfers that are taking a week off,
Speaker 5: you know. UH, and Colonial has traditionally been it's an
Speaker 5: old traditional golf course and UH until they revamped it
Speaker 5: here last year. Uh, and made it more conducive to
Speaker 5: the bombers on the tour now. Uh. You know a
Speaker 5: lot of golfers didn't want to play there because they
Speaker 5: didn't think their game fit Colonial, but some did like it.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: So, But it's always been a great tournament and a
Speaker 5: great event to go to a Colonial.
Speaker 1: It's easy to walk, Yeah, much easier.
Speaker 3: We played there, You have played there Colonial before before
Speaker 3: the new.
Speaker 5: Guy guy guys you have to have a guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's a very gallery friendly.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: As far as being able to walk around and see stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, ot as, what what are you curious about
Speaker 1: that might be revealed in an o TA practice where
Speaker 1: they're really not allowed to compete like DB's can't. I
Speaker 1: was going to play the ball.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, if they can't play the ball,
Speaker 3: that's one thing. I am just curious about how we're
Speaker 3: looking in regards to our our lineup. I'm like, who's
Speaker 3: playing where? I'm curious about Carson. I'm curious about how
Speaker 3: he's doing.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know, we know about the guys with the with
Speaker 3: the injuries and the and the a c LS.
Speaker 6: Not worried about that, but who's the backups who's who's uh,
Speaker 6: who's going to be the new Jordan Lewis? You know
Speaker 6: who's going to be there?
Speaker 1: Which is something that they have to solve. I was
Speaker 1: gonna ask what one so uh on Friday when I
Speaker 1: wrote my column, I did it.
Speaker 7: I as.
Speaker 1: Because Mike McCarthy said this last year, and I think
Speaker 1: it prevails this year that the biggest and improvement from
Speaker 1: the team had to become from within. You know, you
Speaker 1: can rely on draft choices with their draft choices, but
Speaker 1: if you're really going to improve and you don't spend
Speaker 1: millions of dollars in free agency, then you're depending on
Speaker 1: some guys to elevate their play from within. So right
Speaker 1: off top of your head, who do you want to
Speaker 1: see take that next step up? Because I got about
Speaker 1: a half dozen of them that I got in mind.
Speaker 6: Markey's Bell, Okay, Marquis.
Speaker 3: I want to see how Marquis is going to do
Speaker 3: recovering from the sea, from the season in the surgery.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: I want to see if we can find a place
Speaker 3: for him instead of him just filling in where we
Speaker 3: need him.
Speaker 7: Okay, So I want.
Speaker 3: To see if he's I want to see if he
Speaker 3: I still see him as a strong safety. I see
Speaker 3: him as a safety, so a lot of as a linebacker.
Speaker 1: A lot of his is going to be opportunity. Yes,
Speaker 1: you can't step up if you don't get the opportunity.
Speaker 3: Well, I think he earned an opportunity because of he
Speaker 3: sacrificed his body. What was that two years ago trying
Speaker 3: to play linebacker. I know, and I think he clearly
Speaker 3: stepped up for the team, did the best he could,
Speaker 3: got rid of cued for it, got injured. I think
Speaker 3: if they can't come back and put him in the
Speaker 3: right position, he can make some plays along the same
Speaker 3: line as and sometimes Wilson. I need to see more
Speaker 3: from Wilson, but I think he can play the safety
Speaker 3: just as well as Wilson can.
Speaker 7: Bill, you got somebody in mind?
Speaker 5: Always come back to Joe Milton. I want to see
Speaker 5: Joe Milton.
Speaker 7: Don't you.
Speaker 6: Don't know what?
Speaker 1: Don't you want to see a veteran signed.
Speaker 5: That's that's why I want to see Joe Milton. I
Speaker 5: want to see what he's got to figure out. Whether
Speaker 5: because I thought all along that they need to sign
Speaker 5: a veteran backup quarterback, they don't have one right now.
Speaker 5: I mean, they got Will Greer something, but one that
Speaker 5: has played a number of games now I do. I'm
Speaker 5: not lamenting the fact that Cooper Rush is no longer here.
Speaker 5: I think that no offense to Cooper Rush. But I'm
Speaker 5: good with going with a different quarterback than Cooper Rush
Speaker 5: is the backup. I'm just curious whether Joe Milton is
Speaker 5: the guy or not, because I don't think Will Greer
Speaker 5: has shown in his career, and he's thirty years old
Speaker 5: that right is the guy. So I'm surprised that they
Speaker 5: haven't don't have another veteran.
Speaker 1: Guy in here, but it's only May, it is, and
Speaker 1: there's still guys out there. There's not many, but there guys,
Speaker 1: and there's guys out there that have won games in
Speaker 1: the NFL, like more than one.
Speaker 16: So it'll be fun to watch August sixteenth their bill.
Speaker 16: While you're calling that game, it's right, Why.
Speaker 5: What's wrong with August ninth and August twenty second? Why
Speaker 5: do we oh, oh, you're talking Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush
Speaker 5: against Milton. It's right versus Joe Milton on Saturday, August sixth.
Speaker 1: To find out who the better. What about when they
Speaker 1: play Atlanta their backup quarterback might be playing Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: wouldn't that, Okay, Uh, I've got a couple guys that
Speaker 1: I got in mind.
Speaker 7: One of them.
Speaker 1: If if they're going to make a difference at the
Speaker 1: cornerback position and not bring in a veteran guy, which
Speaker 1: I still think they will do between Kayir Elam and
Speaker 1: Kaylan Carson, somebody has to take the next step because
Speaker 1: they need help because there's no guaranteed Trayvon Diggs is
Speaker 1: ready for the start of the season, right and if
Speaker 1: he's not, then.
Speaker 8: I need an outside guy and I need a guy in.
Speaker 7: The slot ready either he has a chance.
Speaker 6: He has a chance.
Speaker 1: Just watching him do some of his rehab, he's moving
Speaker 1: along pretty well. Probably starts training camp on pop just
Speaker 1: to give him some time to you know, get in
Speaker 1: football shape.
Speaker 7: But which is also.
Speaker 1: Now that they have a Thursday opener, they're reporting the
Speaker 1: training camp a day earlier than they had planned because
Speaker 1: you got to go through your ramp up and I
Speaker 1: think they want a weekend of like real football out there.
Speaker 1: But one of those corners really needs to step up,
Speaker 1: and another guy, Luke schoon Maker tight end because okay,
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson played through injuries last year he looks like
Speaker 1: he's good to go, but I need that number two guy.
Speaker 7: If I'm going to be.
Speaker 1: Bullish on using two tight end offense, it's got to
Speaker 1: be more than just a guy that goes in and blocks.
Speaker 6: I thought he tried last year to show some diversity.
Speaker 6: He did.
Speaker 5: He got an opportunity when Ferguson was hurt.
Speaker 1: And so if this guy, if he can come on
Speaker 1: and you have a too tight offense, that's that versatile.
Speaker 1: I think that really helps the offense.
Speaker 3: I've always said about whatever about the generation or whatever,
Speaker 3: I just know it may not have anything to do
Speaker 3: with generational.
Speaker 6: It's just individuals.
Speaker 3: I just remember coming up, every player that was on
Speaker 3: the team.
Speaker 6: If you're called on to start.
Speaker 1: No excuses, right, you made the roster, You.
Speaker 3: Made the roster. We're not looking for you to just
Speaker 3: be a special team guy. Ron Fellows. Ron Fellows came in.
Speaker 3: He was he was very young and you know, inexperienced
Speaker 3: a cornerback. And then when Dennis Terman went down, Ron Fellows,
Speaker 3: you know, he wasn't Dennis Deterrman, but he stepped up
Speaker 3: as a starting corner bats.
Speaker 1: What you get with University of Missouri?
Speaker 6: Why did I step.
Speaker 3: Into that way. But I mean that was the mentality.
Speaker 3: That was the mentality of it all. Whoever stepped in.
Speaker 6: I didn't look at Ron Fellows as a backup who
Speaker 6: came in and started.
Speaker 3: I looked at him as a as a starter. He
Speaker 3: played as a starter, no excuses. And with these guys,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't want to hear it. I don't
Speaker 3: want to hear it. I come up with injury, I'm
Speaker 3: doing it. When you get out there and play, you
Speaker 3: gotta play like a starter. Don't play scared. You know
Speaker 3: you can get beat man. I remember my rookie, you
Speaker 3: get beat, beat beat, but then you gotta still play. Eventually,
Speaker 3: you gotta make the play. I mean, you can't just
Speaker 3: flail the whole game. You can't flail your whole year.
Speaker 5: That's what dron Bland did.
Speaker 3: He came in and played right. He came and he played,
Speaker 3: he balled out. That's the kind of players you want.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't sign anyone that didn't have that mentality.
Speaker 1: And my other guy that has to take that next step,
Speaker 1: Tyler Goydon, because he's your left tackle and you don't
Speaker 1: have really an alternative there. Now, there were times he
Speaker 1: played well there was times that showed that he was
Speaker 1: inexperienced playing, and.
Speaker 6: There were times when he was picked on.
Speaker 1: So now it's like, okay, if if you play the
Speaker 1: way you need to play, then that offensive line is.
Speaker 3: Can't play like last year, Right, you cannot. You have
Speaker 3: to improve, right, you have to improve.
Speaker 1: And you know when they chose him, it wasn't about
Speaker 1: his immediate contribution.
Speaker 7: It was this guy's got the skills to.
Speaker 3: Cause if Bill pointed out that he didn't have much
Speaker 3: playing time at all, ou.
Speaker 1: And he didn't, And now okay, it's time. And if
Speaker 1: you solidify, if he plays at a level that you
Speaker 1: really need him to play, then you've basically solidified that
Speaker 1: offensive line by putting Booker at right right guard. But
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be key because I don't
Speaker 1: know that they've got somebody else that can bail them
Speaker 1: out it left tackle. It'll be interesting to see where
Speaker 1: they play Awesome Richards. If he's a guard or if
Speaker 1: he's a tackle. That's going to be one of the
Speaker 1: key things to look at.
Speaker 6: OTA's speaking of time.
Speaker 5: Yea long pastime.
Speaker 18: And by the way, we are now less than four
Speaker 18: and a half hours away from the doors opening at
Speaker 18: Ford Center for the Girls Flag Football Championship. Money, good
