That's right, 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.679 We've got a schedule. Is that the reason, Producer Supreme? 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:23.600 No, Yes, it's it is. It's the start of ot AS. Okay, 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.480 it's that too. In fact, that's practice day. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:32.160 That was not only blaring on this podcast and in 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.640 our headsets, but I bet Producer Supreme was blaring it 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.320 out on the practice field here because we were about 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:43.640 to have football players on a football field for OTAs. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.520 Man, that would be kind of cool to play that 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.000 out there while they're practice. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.680 They would lame as hell, It would be kind of cool. 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.280 I don't know. I saw some lifts moving from equipment 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.960 around out there, so. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.120 You're thinking that nothing's going to happen on the practice 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.200 field because of any conditions. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.040 To they go indoors. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.880 Don Okay, well we've got we'll see, but they're supposed 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.880 to OTAs today. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.359 Speaking of indoors. By the way, yeah, U Sir Supreme 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.240 has supplied us with this information today. This is a 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:17.680 very big day in the world of high school girls 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.920 flag football. The championship tournament is at Ford Center right 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.200 here at the Star in Frisco tonight. We've got to 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.800 bracket and everything. We're going to be breaking it down 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:33.480 here for the next hour here on mixed shots. But seriously, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.720 it's been a great thing where they've been playing all spring. 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.800 Five North Texas school districts have been playing in this 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.360 spring league and this is Championship Monday for girls flag 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:50.120 football in North Texas high schools and playing games start 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.680 at five thirty tonight. You can come out to Ford 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.639 Center and check it out because this is the fastest 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.520 growing sport in America, I think. 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.120 So I'm going to ask you as a question, what 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.560 do you think the key factor. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:10.720 In these teams winning quarterback? Absolutely? 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.919 I watched them during the draft. They were out there 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:15.840 playing on it. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.519 And how many girls would you say, we're out here. Oh, 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.800 I mean just fun. And they played on the outdoor. 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.800 These are going to be indoors at Ford Center, but 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.080 during the spring they would be out here on Saturdays 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.800 and it was packed with warm ups. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.400 The whole thing is the first thing I noticed. If 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.200 you didn't have a quarterback throw the ball. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:39.160 You couldn't win. 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:39.800 You can't win. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.040 Yeah, And it was all I said. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:42.760 You know what. 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:50.800 High school college NFL UFL and now girls flag high 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.240 school football, you better have a quarterback. 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.480 Well still football, right, it's still football. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.400 The beautiful thing about this flag football is you don't 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.000 have to worry about or left tackle either. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:05.400 That's a good one. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.880 Uh yeah. So anyway, that's going on tonight. We got 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.440 much to get to. Yes, I just came from my 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.440 grandson's kindergarten graduation. That's why I'm dressed up today. Very 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:21.120 nice graduation season. Kindergarty morning oh afterwards, No, No, it 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:21.760 was this morning. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.000 Yeah, I went to one this past weekend.

They 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.200 have a kindergarten graduation, first grade, second. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.479 It sounds like a participation in trophy town. 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.320 I think, well, they charged admission, so well, yeah, make money. Yeah, 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.719 that's right, anyway to make money. But we got so 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.800 much to get to because we not only had these 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.719 scheduled release we got. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.280 That seems like a year ago.

And when the schedule came out, 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:33.040 I proclaimed that six games stretch has to be there. 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:38.680 There has to be no other, no other team in 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:43.599 the history of football that has been scheduled a six 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:48.120 games stretch with as many wins from the previous season 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.000 on their opponent's record as this one. And sure enough 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.280 it was verified by Elias the next day. It wasn't 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.599 it is the just based on the one loss record 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.680 for those teams season. That six game stretch that starts 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:07.479 with Philadelphia on Thanksgiving week the Sunday before Thanksgiving, continues 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.840 with Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day, Detroit the following Thursday. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.800 See if I got it down, Minnesota the next week, 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:20.040 and Chargers the next wee. Yeah, Chargers that I thought 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:24.200 it was Sugg. Yeah, Chargers the next week, and then 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:29.520 when you get to Christmas Day and Washington, did I 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:34.040 miss one in there? Okay? Six games there The combined 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:39.480 record of those six games, six teams, six opponents last 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.840 year eighty one and twenty one. And there has been 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.720 no six game stretch on a schedule where you've had 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.440 all opponents in that six games win eleven games or 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.520 more the previous season. 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:58.040 What about having to play the two conference champions back 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:03.920 to back back back, and so that means three straight 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.440 division champions Philadelphia, Kansas City, Detroit. 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.560 Right, So why were you waving your arms like I was, 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.840 because it appeared to be in disagreement. No, No, you 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:15.360 were agreed. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.920 I was getting ready to say. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.320 What I didn't want you to steal this, Doune. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:19.560 That's right. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:21.720 What I wrote. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:29.000 I said somewhere with that stretch, that NFL computer is giggling. 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:35.240 Because it's like, it can't be. You got seventeen. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:39.240 Games, those six, right, six in a row? 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:39.719 Just like that. 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.800 I'm going, Yeah, somebody's having fun. 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:42.040 Man. 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.200 That's always the most difficult part of the season for 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.800 the Cowboys because of the Thanksgiving game and the scheduling 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:50.680 that goes on that time of year. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.760 So we already had to deal with the scheduling alone. 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.719 Yeah, now we're talking about the quality of teams that 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:02.160 are within that schedule, which by even double tough. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.360 Those three, the three to start that in twelve days. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.920 Twelve days, that's my point, and the two to end 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.080 it are in four days. 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.560 Yes, how does that happen? 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.440 You know, they've always laided on us this time of year. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:22.000 They always do. I mean you, I mean serious, It 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.440 has been this serious. But they've always laden on the 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.000 schedule makers have always put it to us during this 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.640 time of year, sometime of our Thanksgiving. It's just that's 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.160 just the way it is for us. It's been like 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:35.960 that for quite some time. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.000 They have. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.760 I don't think they've ever scheduled on Thanksgiving Day and 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:47.000 opponent quite like Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day. I think 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.840 you would look at it, think I think you could 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.120 look through the sixty year history of the game and 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:55.200 if everybody's healthy going into that, this will be the 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.040 most anticipated Thanksgiving Day game ever for the Cowboys. 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.040 We talked about our last show, right, we said, would 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.040 they put Kansas City on Thanksgiving? 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.400 And it was like well, that. 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.880 Game's so big you're gonna watch on Thanksgiving? 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:11.080 Guard, I go, yeah. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:16.160 But the connection with the Chiefs being here and. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.400 It's the it's mahomes first NFL game ever at at 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:20.200 and T Stadium. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.880 Yeah, so there was there was reason when they you know, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.480 they only play every four years. Yeah, and they were 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.040 on the road at Kansas City four years ago, and 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.079 in twenty seventeen, his rookie season, he didn't play. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.880 Okay, was that the Miles Austin game? 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:39.800 No, that's going way back. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:40.959 Oh, that's farther back. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.160 Yeah, man, come home, Man. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:50.480 What is happening here? Miles? 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:56.360 He said, I believe we're going back to two thousand. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:01.120 And nine, Miles Austin. What is happening? 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.640 Anyway, there's your six game stretch, So that means the 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.319 Cowboys need to go what the first ten games of 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.840 the season before you hit that stretch. So, having said 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.000 all of that, Having said all of that, just because 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.680 they were all eleven wins or more last year doesn't 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.600 mean they're going to be that this year. Although I 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:28.360 look at those seams and I'm thinking they might be. Well, 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.160 Minnesota's got a rookie quarterback. 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.080 Can you go seven and three over the first ten. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.360 You're going to have to I think you should. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.960 I think you should look forward to doing that because 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:45.480 as you get into after November, well Thanksgiving. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.079 Yeah, November twenty third is when it starts. Okay, what 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.520 can you go during that six game stretch? You think, 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.520 can you go three and three during that stretch? And 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.360 that being the case, if you went seven and three 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.319 prior to that year to ten wins going into the 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.360 finale at the Giants. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.880 You got you gotta look forward to. Uh, others having 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.679 a tough schedule as well. I mean, you know Philadelphia 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:09.640 is not going to have it easy. 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.280 Well, that's the thing is when you look at the 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:17.000 NFC East this year and everybody's playing the NFC North 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.600 and everybody's playing the AFC. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:25.120 West, and so that's tough. Yeah, that's tough, And I 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.600 love it. Philadelphia's going through the same crap we're going through. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.480 They just don't they just don't have it back to 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.320 back to back, right, But at some point and they're 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.280 actually having a tough and actually they're playing a tougher 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.200 schedule on paper based on last year's record and what 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.880 the Cowboys are because they're playing the first place schedule, 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.520 and the Cowboys are playing the third. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.960 Place and the Cowboys they just happen to be playing 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.160 all of their tough teams towards. 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.360 The end of the season. And when you still got 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:53.559 the Commanders, you. 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.439 Still have Green Bay, you still got Philadelphia at home, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.960 but away, I mean, that's. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.439 And we knew this before, so last wins. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.040 Yeah, come on, man. 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:13.360 The Eagles have to play eleven games against playoff teams. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:21.240 So at home, they've got Detroit, the Rams, Denver, and 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:27.600 then it's Raiders Chicago. Away they got to play Green Bay, Minnesota, 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:32.600 Tampa Bay, Kansas City, the Chargers, and the Bills, so 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.760 every one of their away games is against the team 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.440 that went to the playoffs. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.559 But the real difference is and when you look at 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.360 division rivals, Okay, there's only three games on each team 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.960 schedule that's different from the other teams, right, And for 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:55.040 the Cowboys because of their third place finished last year, 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.559 those three games are at the Jets, at the Panthers, 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.880 and home against Arizona. For the Eagles, those three games 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:08.040 are at the Bills, at Tampa Bay, and home against 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.840 the Rams. So there's the Yeah, the difference in the 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.480 schedule is in terms of one lost record from last year. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.040 Well they've got the thanks the Thanksgiving game alone. 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:23.240 Does that make it any different for other teams as 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.200 it does make a difference for us the Cowboys. What 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.600 do you mean You just think we go out to 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.200 the scheduling itself. Well, having to play on Thanksgiving Day, they. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.240 Got to play on Thanksgiving Day, they got to play 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:33.160 on Christmas Day. 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:34.960 And I'm not happy about them. 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.360 I mean to me, that just didn't ask me though. 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.480 To me, that just adds to the difficulty of. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:48.840 The schedule, and not only on the road, but on 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.280 the East Coast because the previous times they played on 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.240 Christmas they were night games. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.640 And they two of them were in Phoenix and one 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:05.880 was Nashville. And I flew to the games that day 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.400 like noon, got there for nightday. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.920 So you were there for Santa Claus who delivered this 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:18.240 one meal. So you were there to open presence difficult overnight. 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:19.720 Now this time you can't do that. 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.440 Have you ever woke up on Christmas morning in a 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:23.240 hotel room. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.280 I have not. I think you have. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:30.680 It sounds sad. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.200 You hear the whispering my voice. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.800 Yeah, it happens a lot for college football teams in 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:45.320 a Bowl game, but they're amongst friends, family, right, and 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:46.720 family is there too? 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.640 Yeah, a lot of times. 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.640 So once again, am I wrong in thinking this that 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.040 with the Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving Day, doesn't that just 0:15:55.160 --> 0:16:00.920 add to the. 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.600 The difficulty of this to the South? 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:06.320 Yea, because he's gonna play You're gonna play the Super 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:10.240 Bowl champion on Sunday and the Super Bowl runner up 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:11.080 on Thursday. 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.480 Have we ever done it two games? Has it been 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.520 difficult this stretch right here? Has it ever been that difficult? 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:18.280 Six games? 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.240 Elias says that there's never been a six game stretch 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.440 on the schedule where all six opponents won at least 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:25.680 eleven games a year before. 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:28.760 So we better kick ass doing these first. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.960 Uh, yeah, you better come out of. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.240 The seven ten games or whatever. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.760 Now, one thing about the Thursday is now everybody's playing 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:38.840 Thursday games. 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.360 Okay, And that's what I was asking. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:45.000 We're looking at multiple but playing four, well, but only 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.360 two of them are on short. 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.880 Short rest as opposed to the other teams. 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.920 Well, and I'll have to go back and look, there's 0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.600 a number of teams that are playing multiple Thursday. In fact, 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.800 all of the ones that are playing on Thanksgiving Day 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.359 or Christmas Day are at some point during the season 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.840 where there may not be playing on both holidays, but 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.640 they're playing two Thursday games on short rest. 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.000 So the holidays don't really make a difference, not. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.760 The holiday, but the difference from the time. Of course, 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:21.879 the difference. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.919 For the holiday, that's a whole different other thing. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.400 The difference for the Cowboys from past seasons is this 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.240 is the first time they played two Thursday games in 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.640 the same season on short rest. They've played two Thursday games, 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.199 but they've always scheduled it where they play on a 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.639 week on Thanksgiving and then they play the following Thursday, 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.280 and so it's not two on short rest. 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.760 So all this notion, by the way Cowboys coming off 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:50.800 of seven and ten season, is that they're losing their 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:57.360 national appeal right seven nationally televised games. 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.720 That's the most you're supposed to be able to have. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.680 And playing on well, we knew they'd play on Thanksgiving, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.880 but they got chosen to play on washed, i mean Christmas. 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.399 So what does that say. 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.119 They got chosen to play on the kickoff to the 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.040 season two. Yes, yes, Thursday. 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:22.280 So you know, some people need to retrack their their 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:23.840 premise that the Cowboys. 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.639 We still got the baby, still look good and lipstick. 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.399 We look good with lipstick, are we? 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:34.040 And by the way, from from a season ticket standpoint, 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:39.080 I remember Stephen Jones pointed out that they had ninety 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:45.240 nine renewals of their season tickets. Go online and try 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:51.640 to find a single game ticket available. I looked at 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:52.640 like three games. 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.360 Well, let me let me say and it was standing. 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:56.480 Let me say that the. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:03.360 Cowboys, I don't think they have the appeal of uneven 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:07.400 matchups such as if the Cowboys you know so much 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:11.960 better than let's say, with Carolina, that that appeal isn't 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.680 there playing someone like Carolina, or maybe playing someone like. 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.680 The Jets if they continue to flail the way they are. 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.560 But if you, if you have us matched up against 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.480 quality teams, that's where it gets to be so intriguing 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.200 for the fans and for TV. 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.440 Well, how about having a Monday night game against Arizona 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.640 to get you all fired up? Yeah, but they are 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:34.960 they are right. 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.400 I wouldn't think it would. I wouldn't think it would. 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:41.000 I wouldn't think it it would compare to playing against 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.440 Detroit or playing against on NBC. I don't think I 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:45.760 wouldn't think it would compare to that. 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.600 I mean even the first if you were concerned about 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:54.320 home versus road, the first six games, four of them. 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:54.760 Are on the road. 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.120 That you better be ready to play and you better 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:02.359 be able able to win on the road. These are 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.679 winnable games at Chicago, at the Jets, at the Panther. 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:07.560 The only way you're going to win on the road 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.760 is with a running game and with defense. So the 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:13.679 only way you're going to consistently win. 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.520 What they did at Pittsburgh last year, remember that, you know, 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.600 And there was a I saw a lot of worries 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:19.480 about having. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:20.360 To help the fields. 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:21.520 Was a quarterback. 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:30.640 They have tones field, we can't put all on fields. 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:31.920 He got offensive line. 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.359 Well, I saw a lot of worries about having to 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:38.320 open against Philadelphia, And I'm going, you know what, let's go, 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.480 let's go, you know, go in the locker room right 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.960 now and just put Eagles on the video board and 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.879 and put it out on the field, because you better 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:51.080 get your butt ready to play football, right And if 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:56.200 you need some extra incentive, if opening on the first 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.720 day of the NFL season isn't enough, you got to play. 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.400 The Eagle, Come on go. 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.000 And it's like, well, you know, and you got a 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.200 new coaching staff and a new coordinator. This is new. 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:11.679 I go, yeah, and Philadelphia, you doesn't know what right 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:13.119 or what he's gonna do. 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:15.119 They can only think they have it. 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.760 They're gonna show anything in those three preseason games. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:19.600 Are you serious? 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:22.120 They may not even. 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:26.439 Play monoculars outside looking for spy because we're. 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.760 Gonna have something new for But when you when you 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.000 look at this team, they're going to. 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:31.760 Have to have. 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.199 First of all, we gotta have talent. You have to 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.840 believe in your team having talent. We picked up some talent. 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.480 We picked up Pickings. I saw the interview the other day. 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.040 I hope it's not just hype. But I'm sure you 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:46.639 saw it. CD and Pickings at the same spot. I 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:48.600 don't know where they were. They wear a game or something, 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.840 and CD was blagging on Pickings. Pickings blagging on CD. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.119 That's the kind of stuff you like to see. I 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.000 hope it stays true because if you have guys that 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.160 admire each other like that, expect each other like that, 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.840 then it doesn't matter who gets to cook right, it 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.760 doesn't matter. We're not gonna have any issues in that regard. 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.080 As far as personality, is concerned. We have talent on 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.840 this team now, a little bit better talent than. 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:15.560 We had last year. 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:19.000 I believe, especially the potential because a lot of them 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:19.920 now are younger. 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.560 It's younger talent. But I don't know about the beginning 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:24.200 of the season. 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:26.919 Once we get these guys back from these injuries and 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.919 the acls and all of that, we're gonna have to 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:34.040 be ready to go by Let's say the Commander's game, 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:37.200 the first Commander's game, uh here at home. 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:41.560 Which is October nineteenth, which is the seventh game of 0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:42.080 the season. 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.480 We gotta be We're gonna we're gonna be I think 0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:45.840 we're gonna be struggling una til that. 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:47.960 I don't think we'll have our team. 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.160 We can't be struggling. If we got a six game 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:58.360 stretch coming up Thanksgiving, this we gotta rack up wins. 0:22:58.400 --> 0:22:59.600 I go. You don't know. 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:04.320 It's not gonna be easy, guys, It's not gonna be easy. 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:07.160 This team is gonna struggle coming out. I'm sorry, they're 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.800 gonna struggle coming out. You just gotta be ready for 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.000 now those knocks that they're gonna take, that's okay, that's okay. 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.960 Don't be scared. Bill don't be afraid, because you're gonna 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.600 be ready. Now remember iron sharp as iron. You don't remember, 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:22.400 Come on, you gotta be ready for that. 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.480 You just talk about September football, and September football is 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:27.120 not like November football. 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:28.040 No, it is better. 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:32.280 They better. They need to treat September football like November football. 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:33.720 It's gonna be hard. 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.160 To do when you got you got guys still trying 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.520 to ramp up outside.

Okay, 0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:59.320 you're aware of what's going on with these little winter meetings, yes, 0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:03.200 I mean a spring meetings league meetings in Minneapolis which 0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.880 start tomorrow. What what intrigues you about it? 0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:16.080 To see maybe what they decide on eliminating Australian rules 0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:17.240 football from the game. 0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:21.320 Mean push, no, every push? 0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:25.240 Okay, get rid of all the pushes. Don't don't just 0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:29.680 say tush push five yards down the field and you're 0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:33.120 pushing the running back another five yards three offense. 0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:36.320 That kind of gets the offensive lineman excited. 0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:38.080 You don't like that, No, it's not. 0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:39.600 I mean I'm not talking about the tush push. 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.600 I mean, like that's that's because if you do that, 0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.560 then you're not saying I'm penalizing one team, right, because 0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:49.680 everybody's saying, oh, they're penalizing the Eagles because they're good 0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:53.800 at it. No, get rid of all. That's the way 0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:57.240 U when you played there was no football. There was 0:28:57.320 --> 0:28:58.960 no pushing when you played. 0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:02.200 But they did allow they had stopped it, Yes they did, 0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:04.360 and then they let it come back, right, and now 0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:05.520 they're trying to stop it again. 0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:07.720 Well I'm saying they should. I don't know. 0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:08.800 They're not talking about that. 0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:12.160 No, they're going to talk about it because it got represented. 0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.920 So it wasn't like, well, the Packers are pissed because 0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:19.560 the Eagles tush pushed them, and it's not about to me, 0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:21.960 it shouldn't be about one play. It should be about 0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:22.680 all the pushing. 0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:26.000 And it sounds like they're going to do something about it. 0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:30.000 Yeah, right, I think so, and they need to. Somebody's 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.080 get that pushing stuff is going to get hurt. It 0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:33.800 happens on the goal line, doesn't it. 0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:35.600 Yeah, but nobody's gotten hurt yet. 0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:37.240 Yeah, I know, I know it. 0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:43.680 Just I think, why not adopted or adopted? Why not 0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:47.080 adopted the push tush push instead of getting. 0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:47.280 Rid of it? 0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:54.200 So which team? It was a playoff game right where 0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:57.360 they had like three off sides in a row because 0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:58.680 they were gambled. 0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:01.080 Washing Washington. 0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:03.080 They kept going cut. 0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:07.560 They just had on myine NFL network. When he became 0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:11.360 an American citizen, he's from. 0:30:10.920 --> 0:30:11.800 Samoa, I think. 0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:15.400 But anyway, Yeah, so at one point they had to 0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:17.960 point out do it one more time and it's a touchdown. 0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:22.160 So yeah, do we need that because that's what you 0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:24.360 should do. What do you have to lose if you're 0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:27.040 at the one yard line? Oh you're off sides? Okay, 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.160 it's half a yard. Oh you're off sides. 0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.120 Now you're saying that's where the injuries could come, where 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:33.480 everyone's just selling out. 0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:36.200 Could to jump over the shop, right, because they're not. 0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:38.600 They're not eliminating jumping over the top. 0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:42.120 If I would, I'd be offended because I have something 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:42.800 that works for me. 0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:44.120 I understand. 0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:45.080 That's what I'm saying. 0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:46.840 It needs to be. 0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:50.200 Presented the way I did, not punishing Philly. You're punishing 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:51.600 all the pushing going. 0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:53.160 On, but you're punishing Philly. 0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:56.800 Well, right, it's just. 0:30:56.840 --> 0:31:00.600 Part of it, right, Because they've got a quarterback who 0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:04.240 can squat six hundred pounds. 0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:05.160 Well, and that's that. 0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:09.040 But the recruiting they got the guy they wanted to 0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:10.160 do the things they want. 0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.400 But a quarterback sneak will with him will probably be 0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:14.440 equally effective. 0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:17.840 I think so too, right that it won't be as effective. 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:21.120 Oh, I don't know because that now they don't. 0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:22.760 Know why it won't be as effective because we're trying 0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:25.040 to change the rules right now. So that means it 0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:29.320 is damn effective, right, I mean, so it's more effective now. 0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:34.320 I mean the percentage of it working with push versus without, 0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:38.480 it's better with If I'm I'm speaking as Philadelphia Eagles. 0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:41.680 Here, right, and so i'd be I'd be upset. 0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:45.360 Well, because you guys are personally attacking something that we 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.920 came up with and my my coaching staff came up 0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:50.600 with that just happens to be elite. 0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:53.480 I don't care where on the field. If it's third 0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:58.360 and short, I'm or fourth and short, I'm playing the percentages. 0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:01.280 I'm jumping to the snap and if they get it, 0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:03.880 they get it because chances are the percentage says they're 0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:07.800 going to get it anyway, right, they can't stop it. 0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:11.040 Well, here's what Frankie Luvu said about it. It's kind 0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:15.160 of like a cheap o play. That's pretty much a 0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:18.080 scrum and rugby. That's why I kind of look at it, 0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.240 and we've got to have a scrum two on the 0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.720 other side. And the scrum is we have a cadence 0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.720 where we all go at once. It's not like you 0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.760 hard count and this and that where now you're getting 0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.680 us or myself jumping over the pile thinking that you're 0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:35.440 going to snap the ball. That's just my own personal opinion. 0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:36.440 I'm going to leave it at that. 0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:38.840 Well, maybe what they need to do is bring out 0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:40.360 a rope and play tuggle war. 0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:46.840 So if you're going to run or the there's no 0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:52.080 instead of if you're going to run the play, yes, 0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:55.240 you've got to run the play, there's no cadence, there's 0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:58.480 no the quarterback doesn't signal for the snap of the ball, 0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:03.520 the referee does, you got one three go. 0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:06.000 That way. 0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:07.400 There's no advantage. 0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:13.920 Because going forwards easier than trying to push backwards. Right, 0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:18.280 So I think that's one of the things that they're 0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:21.360 that will be probably the main and. 0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:23.920 They'll probably out voted, but I mean they'll vote it 0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:25.360 out right. 0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:28.880 That's what I'm thinking, which is why I think they're bringing. 0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:30.720 It back because there are not many people speaking for 0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:33.000 the push push. 0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:37.480 There's not many people speaking for it at all, just Jefferson. 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:43.400 And Siriani in this home here. 0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:51.440 Okay, what about the playoff seating that they're talking about, 0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:57.960 meaning meaning best records are seated one through four, not 0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:02.800 Winvision champion, not get the top four seed if they 0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:06.400 don't have the one of the top four records. I 0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:11.440 got a big problem with this, for or against. I 0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:12.719 keep it the way it is. 0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:17.560 Yes, me too. It's an vision game because if you 0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:20.759 are going to just seed by record. 0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:23.120 You might as well throw out the divisions. You don't 0:34:23.160 --> 0:34:25.719 have divisions, right, Well, it's the NBA, now. I never 0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:28.400 in the NBA. I never look at the divisions when 0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:31.120 I'm looking at the playoffs, That's right, I only go 0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:33.359 to the conference. Right. Why do you even there's no 0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:37.120 even a reason to have them by division there now. 0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:41.000 The only reason to have the divisions is for scheduling purposes, 0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:45.640 which is the precise reason that it makes no sense 0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:49.880 to do it by one loss record, because certain divisions 0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:53.279 have a tougher schedule than other divisions have. 0:34:55.840 --> 0:35:00.920 In the paper, when they run the NBA standings, just 0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:02.480 run the conference because I don't. 0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:03.040 Want to have to try. 0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:04.200 That's exactly what I'm saying. 0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:08.640 One two, Oh, there's the cutoff, and that'll. 0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:09.920 Be what it is. In the NFL, there is no 0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:14.480 reason to have division standings. It would be just be 0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:15.200 conference standing. 0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:18.600 But again, at least in the NBA, you're sort of 0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:22.400 playing everybody in the night if you don't play everybody. 0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:24.960 And so if they do this, then they need to 0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:28.480 do away with the way they've been scheduling games and 0:35:28.520 --> 0:35:32.920 scheduling it very effectively to make it very competitive for years, 0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:36.680 and they need to just draw names, draw names out 0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:38.400 of a hat, and schedule that way. If you're going 0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:40.840 to do it this way, no case in point is 0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:43.720 this year. We talked about it earlier. The NFC East 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:48.120 is playing the NFC North and the AFC West this year. 0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:51.680 So what are the odds that an NFC East team 0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:54.600 is going to win fourteen games this year? It's going 0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:56.680 to be very difficult for any of them too, because 0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:59.719 they're assuming that the teams are essentially the same as 0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:02.520 they last year. But I mean, you can do this 0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:08.120 for any for any year. So the divisions are not scheduled, 0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:13.239 the schedules are not the same for all the divisions. 0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:16.120 It's what's the devil's advocate? What's the devil's advocate for 0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:20.200 changing uh? The present format? 0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:20.839 What? 0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:21.000 What? 0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:22.839 Why would someone want to change it? Why are they're 0:36:22.880 --> 0:36:23.680 voting against. 0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:26.480 It because they feel like they feel like they just 0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:29.600 like this past year, you had Minnesota and Detroit who 0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:34.040 had and only one of those could be a division champion, Detroit, 0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:35.080 So Minnesota had. 0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:35.759 To go on the road. 0:36:36.560 --> 0:36:40.359 That's actually and they lost Troit. That's proposing it exactly right, 0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:42.279 And that's one of the reasons. Well, they would have 0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.640 played at home and they if they went at home field, event. 0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:45.480 Yeah, they would play. 0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:48.600 Well, how about Detroit, what did Detroit do? They got 0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:52.560 They got beat by Washington, right exactly. And so if 0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:55.120 you're good enough to go win on the road, you 0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:57.080 go win on the road. Dallas did it at Tampa 0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.000 Bay a couple of years ago. 0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:01.440 This schedule aren't equitable. 0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:03.719 So if they did it last year, two of the 0:37:03.760 --> 0:37:06.600 division winners would have not had to play on the road. 0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:09.640 If they did it last year, does that make sense? 0:37:10.840 --> 0:37:14.080 So yeah, so last year, the top four would have 0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:17.440 been Detroit, Philly. Okay, Detroit got the first round, by 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:20.920 it'd be Philly, and then Minnesota was fourteen and three 0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:24.480 and Washington was twelve and five, so Washington would have 0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:27.200 got a home game, and then it would have been 0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:31.200 Green Bay would have been the next seed, which was 0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:35.879 the worst seed in the conference, and then Tampa and 0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:37.120 the Rams were the bottom two. 0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.520 So the two division winners would be the bottom. 0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:43.840 Two teams in the six and seven seeds. 0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:45.319 How does that make sense? 0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:51.080 So the NFL's idea of the meek shall inherit kind 0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:55.760 of blows away this saying the divisions don't count because 0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:59.440 it's not equitable, so you got to do it by division. 0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:03.080 There's no other way around it. 0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:06.919 Well, that that's that probably will be voted down. 0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:09.360 The change we'll see. 0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:13.400 Yeah, hopefully it'll be voted down because it's it's just 0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:18.640 not Yeah. 0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:19.080 It depends it's working great the way it is. 0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:22.400 Yeah, so much depends on which division you're playing. 0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:26.680 So you got everybody in Minnesota they want to they 0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:30.560 want to vote this down. Probably the ones that were 0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:35.040 they had to play effected, Yeah, negatively. 0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:40.080 I think those are probably the two main things. I 0:38:40.080 --> 0:38:44.160 don't know that they've got another rule change or anything. 0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:49.000 There may be an emphasis of something, so. 0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:52.279 Yeah, so those are the two main I would think 0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:53.400 so things on the document. 0:38:55.280 --> 0:39:04.880 So with the old tas starting today, we get to 0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:10.319 meaning the media type get to watch one of one 0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:13.480 of the three each week and our. 0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:17.920 Day is tomorrow. But by the way, before we leave this. 0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:20.880 I had looked this up. Okay, when Dallas went to 0:39:21.000 --> 0:39:24.680 play Tampa Bay two years ago in the playoffs or 0:39:24.719 --> 0:39:27.280 win the Dallas what twenty twenty two seasons? 0:39:27.320 --> 0:39:27.880 That what it was? 0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.040 Dallas finished second the division, had a twelve and five record. 0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:35.200 Tampa Bay won the NFC South with an eight and 0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:39.040 nine record. Okay, so that would be a great case for, well, 0:39:39.080 --> 0:39:41.000 why do we have to go play on the road 0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:44.520 against a team that went eight and nine and we're 0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:47.960 sitting here at twelve and five? Are we complaining about it? 0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:49.800 You go to Tampa and you win. 0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:53.400 With a super Bowl Hall of Fame qull the bet 0:39:53.640 --> 0:39:56.120 and against one, And. 0:39:57.600 --> 0:39:59.879 That's a great case for if you're good enough, you go. 0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:00.960 On the road, right, you know? 0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:08.840 Yeah, So I'm not sure. If it's not weather related, 0:40:09.760 --> 0:40:13.680 going on the road shouldn't be that difficult. I don't 0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:16.880 care if you've got sixty thousand people there and fifty 0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:22.279 five thousand or cheering, you know against you, you're so 0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:27.279 far away, right, It's not like hockey or basketball when 0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:28.880 everybody's right on top of you. 0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:32.000 But to your point, the equitable way that the NFL 0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:36.839 has designed their whole season, their schedule is based on 0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:41.120 the divisions and you are throwing that out the window. 0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:43.960 If you're going to throw those records out the window 0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:46.960 and say, okay, a team from the NFC South or 0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:50.680 the NFC West because they have a better record well 0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:53.600 than the NFC East team or whatever it might be. 0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:58.640 Then don't play two games against your division opponents, just 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:02.040 playing one, I got to say, and add three games 0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:03.279 from other divisions. 0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:06.000 I have to push back on you. As far as 0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:08.560 playing on the road in football, you. 0:41:08.480 --> 0:41:10.360 Think it makes that bigger difference, It makes. 0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:13.640 It makes a big difference. It can make a big difference. 0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:17.600 I just think of certain arenas such as Super the 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:21.719 Super Bowl, the Super Dome, right Domino Orleans that that. 0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.719 But almost everybody has an indoor facility. 0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:27.000 Yeah, but it's it's them a dating Well those are 0:41:27.040 --> 0:41:29.600 the people, yes, I know, And. 0:41:29.480 --> 0:41:32.560 They're a loud as hell. And when you get in there, man, 0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:38.280 and and and everything is just concentrated on the field itself. 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:39.239 You can feel it. 0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:43.680 I don't care if it's hockey, basketball, football is no different. 0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.240 You can feel it. If that team is really filed 0:41:46.320 --> 0:41:46.759 up enough. 0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:50.200 You go into a remember r f K Stadium, that 0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:52.880 was not a nice place to be when those stands 0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:54.319 start moving in the in the in. 0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:54.839 The end zone. 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:56.319 Yeah, but you weren't watching that. 0:41:56.719 --> 0:41:59.239 I could see it. You could see it. 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:00.319 I know. 0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:04.359 If you start looking around when especially when they started 0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:06.040 whipping y ass and you start looking at rights. 0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:08.000 What I was about to say, You talk about getting 0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:09.759 off to a good start in the season, you better 0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:11.560 get off to a good start in that game. In 0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:13.040 the game, the walls will start. 0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:13.839 That's it, man. 0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:17.399 The hard part was when they turned the hot water 0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:18.399 off after the game. 0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:21.600 That was the worst, the worst. 0:42:21.280 --> 0:42:25.600 On Garrison told water was so cold. We played them 0:42:25.600 --> 0:42:28.360 in December. I just rore my uniform back on the 0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:31.360 charter flight.

Did you enjoy the match 0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:29.440 even though it was on your phone? 0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:31.760 Yeah, I watch a lot of games on my phone. 0:47:31.880 --> 0:47:34.640 Yeah, but not when you got people around. You can't 0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:38.080 like start screaming or whatever. Right. 0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:40.440 You know where you get in trouble is when you 0:47:40.480 --> 0:47:42.799 go to a wedding and there's a game on, yeah, 0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:45.000 and you're watching. I've done that before. 0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:48.760 The good thing it wasn't It wasn't my own daughters. 0:47:49.080 --> 0:47:51.759 It was like that there's a commercial out there like that. 0:47:51.840 --> 0:47:54.280 By the way, Oh yeah, yeah, wedding watching. 0:47:54.360 --> 0:47:56.160 Oh, I'll be there at the for sure. At the 0:47:56.160 --> 0:47:58.959 wedding reception. I got my I don't have my phone. 0:47:58.960 --> 0:48:01.040 I bring my iPad for that. Gotta set up on 0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:04.319 our table. We're watching a football but you shouldn't. You 0:48:04.360 --> 0:48:07.160 shouldn't have scheduled a wedding in football season. 0:48:06.920 --> 0:48:10.680 Right, This is the price, just how I go. 0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:13.799 Good thing for me was the two guys or the 0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:16.080 couples that were sitting next to me at the table. 0:48:16.280 --> 0:48:20.080 They were wanted, I must score. Where's it atten? 0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:24.000 I'm going okay, they understand it if I shout or something, 0:48:24.600 --> 0:48:25.359 and I. 0:48:25.239 --> 0:48:28.160 Think, just the the most amazing thing about them is 0:48:28.560 --> 0:48:30.760 I saw these guys flailing at the end of the season. 0:48:31.120 --> 0:48:33.120 Yeah, I don't go. The Mini Stars game. 0:48:33.120 --> 0:48:34.960 Went on into the playoffs. The first part of the 0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:37.640 first round of the playoffs too, they were really struggling. 0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:40.120 I remember the Jets whipping our butts for nothing. 0:48:40.160 --> 0:48:42.799 I was there, man, I just I keep going back 0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:44.960 and I had to watch two more for nothing. 0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:48.760 Man. It was crazy, And so you sit there and think, 0:48:49.000 --> 0:48:51.680 how can you There was no momentum going into the 0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:55.040 playoffs at all, But then you got your playoffs back. 0:48:55.400 --> 0:48:57.839 You know what. The Rangers did the exact same thing 0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:00.400 when they won the World Series. They were flailing like 0:49:00.560 --> 0:49:03.759 crazy in September and then all of a sudden they 0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:05.680 got it going when they had to get going. So 0:49:05.719 --> 0:49:06.920 there's a lesson to be learned. 0:49:06.960 --> 0:49:10.239 Well, if you get your players back, huh had and 0:49:10.280 --> 0:49:12.600 then they didn't. They acquire a player from. 0:49:12.440 --> 0:49:15.720 Another team at the trade. 0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:19.160 Here's the deal, here's the deal with what the Stars did. 0:49:19.239 --> 0:49:24.120 We're all going crazy about Luca getting traded to the Lakers. 0:49:24.520 --> 0:49:28.880 The very same day that Luca got traded to the Lakers, 0:49:28.960 --> 0:49:33.279 Jim Nil the Stars, GM acquired Mikyle Grassland from Yes 0:49:33.560 --> 0:49:37.280 and he's had a hat trick last week, the boy 0:49:37.360 --> 0:49:40.799 first the same day, and then a month later he 0:49:40.920 --> 0:49:44.360 acquired Miko Ranton And well, we're still distraught over the 0:49:44.480 --> 0:49:47.760 Luca trade, and all of a sudden, this this GM 0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:52.400 on the other side of the building is acquiring a 0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:56.360 Stanley Cup. Meanwhile, basically, what if the Cowboys. 0:49:56.600 --> 0:49:58.680 What if the Cowboys made it traded and gave away 0:49:59.040 --> 0:50:03.000 three years of first round picks and then they win 0:50:03.040 --> 0:50:08.040 the draft lottery, right yeah, and then when the draft lottery. Uh, 0:50:07.600 --> 0:50:11.200 the big the big difference for the Stars going forward 0:50:11.280 --> 0:50:17.000 now is Miro Haskinning can play his normal amount of minutes. 0:50:17.440 --> 0:50:20.520 And it showed in this last game. He was out there, 0:50:20.680 --> 0:50:22.200 he was carrying the puck. 0:50:21.960 --> 0:50:26.680 And he's a defense obviously four okay. 0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:30.480 The defenseman that can skate the puck out of their zone. 0:50:30.560 --> 0:50:33.680 It proves Nico right. Defense wins championships, right. 0:50:37.200 --> 0:50:40.520 So we started on Wednesday night. 0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:42.440 I'll be there against Edmonton. 0:50:42.560 --> 0:50:44.280 Edmonton we have a chance. 0:50:45.480 --> 0:50:48.840 Lost last year in the conference final to him, and 0:50:48.920 --> 0:50:50.799 this is the third straight year the Stars have been 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:53.120 in the conference final. I haven't got past this point. 0:50:53.239 --> 0:50:53.840 So here we are. 0:50:54.080 --> 0:50:57.560 Don't kick as the goaltender has to be as good 0:50:57.600 --> 0:50:59.520 as he was in this He's always good. 0:50:59.640 --> 0:50:59.880 I know. 0:51:02.120 --> 0:51:04.880 Since we're on other stuff, how about Scottie Scheffler. 0:51:05.800 --> 0:51:06.759 Can he Can he lose? 0:51:06.840 --> 0:51:07.880 That's unbelievable. 0:51:08.040 --> 0:51:08.600 Can he lose? 0:51:08.719 --> 0:51:09.960 There's two golfers. 0:51:10.000 --> 0:51:12.839 He was fussing the whole, the whole Thursday and Friday. 0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:16.440 Just I know. And then he struggled at Sunday because 0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:19.880 he shot par and he ended up winning by five, 0:51:20.120 --> 0:51:20.640 six strikes. 0:51:20.640 --> 0:51:23.440 He won by five he missed a putt on eighteen 0:51:23.560 --> 0:51:25.920 what he had a six stroke lead. He's the only 0:51:25.960 --> 0:51:31.279 the second golfer ever amazing to win and you may 0:51:31.320 --> 0:51:33.960 be thinking of something else, Okay, but he's the second 0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:37.640 golfer ever to win multi consecutive tournaments by five or 0:51:37.640 --> 0:51:41.520 more strokes. Tiger did it twice in his career. Scheffler 0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:42.480 won two weeks ago. 0:51:42.680 --> 0:51:43.279 Now at the. 0:51:43.160 --> 0:51:46.239 Field wasn't anywhere near a major field when they played 0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:48.719 at the Buyer Nelson two weeks ago. Uh, and he 0:51:48.800 --> 0:51:49.800 won by eight strokes. 0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:52.360 Would you compare him if you compare his field to 0:51:52.400 --> 0:51:54.759 when Tiger did it, you know, but. 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:57.560 I can't remember the tournaments that Tiger did it, and 0:51:57.600 --> 0:51:59.320 it was I think one of them was a major. 0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:06.240 But anyway, and so I would I'm gonna no offense 0:52:06.320 --> 0:52:09.200 to the CJ Cup Buyer Nelson, but I would imagine 0:52:09.400 --> 0:52:13.600 the field that Tiger played against was more competitive than 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:16.200 Stella what the Nelson has these days. 0:52:16.239 --> 0:52:20.560 Well, the eye opener was three major championships before at 0:52:20.560 --> 0:52:23.520 the by the age of twenty eight, and the only 0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:26.480 other two guys to do it was Jack Nicholas and 0:52:26.920 --> 0:52:27.520 Tiger Woods. 0:52:27.520 --> 0:52:29.520 And the list is short. He's won He's now won 0:52:29.560 --> 0:52:34.880 fifteen PGA Tour events and the list is very short. 0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:37.040 About five or six golfers who have done that before 0:52:37.120 --> 0:52:37.919 age twenty nine. 0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.520 You think if Ham wouldn't have flailed at the end, 0:52:40.560 --> 0:52:43.520 you think he would have yeah, Rom. 0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:47.800 Rom, Yeah, yeah, well you got you gotta can't flail, 0:52:47.880 --> 0:52:48.280 you can't. 0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:48.840 You can't. 0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:52.800 Can't hit the water twice in three. 0:52:54.480 --> 0:52:56.640 So yeah, if he wouldn't have played, it felt. 0:52:56.640 --> 0:52:59.000 I felt very good about that for some strange reason. 0:52:59.480 --> 0:53:01.200 I don't know. I just like, yeah, that's what I 0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:01.480 would do. 0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:04.000 Yeah, well, you know the lesson there is you go 0:53:04.080 --> 0:53:07.680 play in the live events, live or whatever you want 0:53:07.680 --> 0:53:08.080 to call it. 0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:10.560 I said live, you. 0:53:10.600 --> 0:53:14.880 Got to play four rounds in the PGA, not three. 0:53:15.080 --> 0:53:17.759 So oh they only play three? Yeah, I did not 0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:18.239 know that. 0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:22.799 Come on, big boy, you got to play four. Can't 0:53:22.840 --> 0:53:24.359 shoot whatever. 0:53:24.040 --> 0:53:28.320 You But they make a lot more money fewer rounds. 0:53:28.640 --> 0:53:33.320 Unless you win the few tournaments. And Scheffler's playing Colonial 0:53:33.360 --> 0:53:34.000 this week too. 0:53:34.239 --> 0:53:38.320 Is it really could have three straight weeks of the 0:53:38.440 --> 0:53:39.600 local people. 0:53:39.480 --> 0:53:41.040 Go to Colonial anymore? 0:53:41.080 --> 0:53:41.520 Do they? 0:53:41.760 --> 0:53:42.160 Oh? 0:53:42.440 --> 0:53:46.680 They still draw? You know it's an easy drive, Rahim, Yeah. 0:53:46.719 --> 0:53:47.600 Yes, I was thinking. 0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:53.240 The issue for the local tournaments now is the well, 0:53:53.480 --> 0:53:56.640 the issue for the Byron Nelson they haven't been able 0:53:56.680 --> 0:53:58.400 to find a home course. 0:53:58.480 --> 0:53:58.640 Now. 0:53:58.719 --> 0:54:01.320 You know, it was very popular for fans back in 0:54:01.360 --> 0:54:04.680 the day when it was enterving at the Las Colina 0:54:04.719 --> 0:54:09.240 Sports Club, but it was but from a party standpoint, 0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:11.840 the pavilion, it was a thing that it was an event, 0:54:12.360 --> 0:54:14.080 and there's a lot of people that would go to 0:54:14.120 --> 0:54:16.520 the event that would never didn't realize there's a golf 0:54:16.520 --> 0:54:17.319 tournament going on. 0:54:17.560 --> 0:54:22.279 Okay, my mother said that we're having golf yet he 0:54:22.320 --> 0:54:22.760 was feeling. 0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:26.319 And also the field was much better then because of 0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:29.560 the respect they had for Byron when he was okay, 0:54:30.120 --> 0:54:32.920 And so then what's happened since then has been sad. 0:54:34.719 --> 0:54:37.719 I think it will eventually get traction again. But the 0:54:37.800 --> 0:54:41.680 issue that both tournaments are having right now is they've 0:54:41.760 --> 0:54:45.600 moved the PGA to May, and it was an August 0:54:45.680 --> 0:54:48.000 tournament and now that since they moved it to May, 0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:55.360 every the player's schedules are well, they're they're scheduled around 0:54:55.440 --> 0:54:58.799 that major. And if you're playing, like in the case 0:54:58.800 --> 0:55:02.520 of the Colonial, they're playing the week after the PGA Championship, 0:55:02.560 --> 0:55:04.959 there's a lot of golfers that are taking a week off, 0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:09.359 you know. UH, and Colonial has traditionally been it's an 0:55:09.360 --> 0:55:14.040 old traditional golf course and UH until they revamped it 0:55:14.120 --> 0:55:18.600 here last year. Uh, and made it more conducive to 0:55:18.960 --> 0:55:22.719 the bombers on the tour now. Uh. You know a 0:55:22.760 --> 0:55:24.480 lot of golfers didn't want to play there because they 0:55:24.480 --> 0:55:28.359 didn't think their game fit Colonial, but some did like it. 0:55:28.440 --> 0:55:28.719 You know. 0:55:29.000 --> 0:55:31.600 So, But it's always been a great tournament and a 0:55:31.640 --> 0:55:33.800 great event to go to a Colonial. 0:55:33.960 --> 0:55:36.560 It's easy to walk, Yeah, much easier. 0:55:36.600 --> 0:55:41.400 We played there, You have played there Colonial before before 0:55:41.440 --> 0:55:42.880 the new. 0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:47.080 Guy guy guys you have to have a guy. 0:55:47.320 --> 0:55:47.600 Yeah. 0:55:47.800 --> 0:55:49.840 It's a very gallery friendly. 0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:50.680 Uh. 0:55:50.880 --> 0:55:53.839 As far as being able to walk around and see stuff. 0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:58.840 All right, ot as, what what are you curious about 0:55:59.200 --> 0:56:02.680 that might be revealed in an o TA practice where 0:56:02.719 --> 0:56:08.880 they're really not allowed to compete like DB's can't. I 0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:10.080 was going to play the ball. 0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:13.040 I was gonna say, if they can't play the ball, 0:56:13.080 --> 0:56:17.960 that's one thing. I am just curious about how we're 0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:23.600 looking in regards to our our lineup. I'm like, who's 0:56:23.680 --> 0:56:27.080 playing where? I'm curious about Carson. I'm curious about how 0:56:27.120 --> 0:56:27.560 he's doing. 0:56:27.920 --> 0:56:28.160 Uh. 0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:30.880 You know, we know about the guys with the with 0:56:30.920 --> 0:56:33.000 the injuries and the and the a c LS. 0:56:33.239 --> 0:56:37.160 Not worried about that, but who's the backups who's who's uh, 0:56:37.800 --> 0:56:40.319 who's going to be the new Jordan Lewis?

I was 0:56:44.800 --> 0:56:49.040 gonna ask what one so uh on Friday when I 0:56:49.040 --> 0:56:50.480 wrote my column, I did it. 0:56:50.680 --> 0:56:51.680 I as. 0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:56.560 Because Mike McCarthy said this last year, and I think 0:56:56.600 --> 0:57:01.520 it prevails this year that the biggest and improvement from 0:57:01.600 --> 0:57:05.080 the team had to become from within. You know, you 0:57:05.120 --> 0:57:08.960 can rely on draft choices with their draft choices, but 0:57:09.040 --> 0:57:11.720 if you're really going to improve and you don't spend 0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:16.120 millions of dollars in free agency, then you're depending on 0:57:16.280 --> 0:57:21.840 some guys to elevate their play from within. So right 0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:23.920 off top of your head, who do you want to 0:57:23.960 --> 0:57:27.680 see take that next step up? Because I got about 0:57:27.840 --> 0:57:31.360 a half dozen of them that I got in mind. 0:57:31.520 --> 0:57:34.280 Markey's Bell, Okay, Marquis. 0:57:34.360 --> 0:57:35.960 I want to see how Marquis is going to do 0:57:36.440 --> 0:57:39.040 recovering from the sea, from the season in the surgery. 0:57:39.800 --> 0:57:39.920 Uh. 0:57:40.520 --> 0:57:42.920 I want to see if we can find a place 0:57:42.960 --> 0:57:47.200 for him instead of him just filling in where we 0:57:47.280 --> 0:57:47.720 need him. 0:57:47.840 --> 0:57:49.080 Okay, So I want. 0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:50.280 To see if he's I want to see if he 0:57:50.880 --> 0:57:53.560 I still see him as a strong safety. I see 0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:56.360 him as a safety, so a lot of as a linebacker. 0:57:56.520 --> 0:57:59.560 A lot of his is going to be opportunity. Yes, 0:57:59.840 --> 0:58:02.680 you can't step up if you don't get the opportunity. 0:58:02.760 --> 0:58:05.880 Well, I think he earned an opportunity because of he 0:58:06.040 --> 0:58:09.800 sacrificed his body. What was that two years ago trying 0:58:09.800 --> 0:58:13.040 to play linebacker. I know, and I think he clearly 0:58:13.080 --> 0:58:15.640 stepped up for the team, did the best he could, 0:58:15.920 --> 0:58:19.720 got rid of cued for it, got injured. I think 0:58:19.800 --> 0:58:21.480 if they can't come back and put him in the 0:58:21.520 --> 0:58:26.240 right position, he can make some plays along the same 0:58:26.280 --> 0:58:29.240 line as and sometimes Wilson. I need to see more 0:58:29.240 --> 0:58:31.680 from Wilson, but I think he can play the safety 0:58:31.800 --> 0:58:32.760 just as well as Wilson can. 0:58:33.480 --> 0:58:34.959 Bill, you got somebody in mind? 0:58:35.640 --> 0:58:39.320 Always come back to Joe Milton. I want to see 0:58:39.360 --> 0:58:39.960 Joe Milton. 0:58:40.120 --> 0:58:40.560 Don't you. 0:58:42.320 --> 0:58:42.800 Don't know what? 0:58:43.360 --> 0:58:45.760 Don't you want to see a veteran signed. 0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:48.680 That's that's why I want to see Joe Milton. I 0:58:48.720 --> 0:58:51.760 want to see what he's got to figure out. Whether 0:58:52.440 --> 0:58:55.120 because I thought all along that they need to sign 0:58:55.160 --> 0:58:58.520 a veteran backup quarterback, they don't have one right now. 0:58:58.720 --> 0:59:01.400 I mean, they got Will Greer something, but one that 0:59:01.440 --> 0:59:06.120 has played a number of games now I do. I'm 0:59:06.160 --> 0:59:09.760 not lamenting the fact that Cooper Rush is no longer here. 0:59:09.880 --> 0:59:13.160 I think that no offense to Cooper Rush. But I'm 0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:15.880 good with going with a different quarterback than Cooper Rush 0:59:15.960 --> 0:59:19.880 is the backup. I'm just curious whether Joe Milton is 0:59:19.880 --> 0:59:22.240 the guy or not, because I don't think Will Greer 0:59:22.560 --> 0:59:25.240 has shown in his career, and he's thirty years old 0:59:25.360 --> 0:59:29.040 that right is the guy. So I'm surprised that they 0:59:29.040 --> 0:59:30.760 haven't don't have another veteran. 0:59:30.440 --> 0:59:34.120 Guy in here, but it's only May, it is, and 0:59:34.160 --> 0:59:38.560 there's still guys out there. There's not many, but there guys, 0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:43.000 and there's guys out there that have won games in 0:59:43.040 --> 0:59:45.120 the NFL, like more than one. 0:59:46.640 --> 0:59:50.120 So it'll be fun to watch August sixteenth their bill. 0:59:50.160 --> 0:59:52.920 While you're calling that game, it's right, Why. 0:59:53.320 --> 0:59:55.800 What's wrong with August ninth and August twenty second? Why 0:59:55.800 --> 0:59:58.400 do we oh, oh, you're talking Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush 0:59:58.400 --> 1:00:05.600 against Milton. It's right versus Joe Milton on Saturday, August sixth. 1:00:07.120 --> 1:00:10.800 To find out who the better. What about when they 1:00:10.800 --> 1:00:16.120 play Atlanta their backup quarterback might be playing Kirk Cousins 1:00:17.360 --> 1:00:22.560 wouldn't that, Okay, Uh, I've got a couple guys that 1:00:22.600 --> 1:00:23.600 I got in mind. 1:00:24.080 --> 1:00:24.800 One of them. 1:00:25.280 --> 1:00:28.040 If if they're going to make a difference at the 1:00:28.040 --> 1:00:32.200 cornerback position and not bring in a veteran guy, which 1:00:32.240 --> 1:00:38.680 I still think they will do between Kayir Elam and 1:00:38.800 --> 1:00:44.200 Kaylan Carson, somebody has to take the next step because 1:00:44.200 --> 1:00:48.040 they need help because there's no guaranteed Trayvon Diggs is 1:00:48.080 --> 1:00:50.960 ready for the start of the season, right and if 1:00:50.960 --> 1:00:52.320 he's not, then. 1:00:55.120 --> 1:00:57.440 I need an outside guy and I need a guy in. 1:00:57.400 --> 1:01:01.560 The slot ready either he has a chance. 1:01:01.760 --> 1:01:02.439 He has a chance. 1:01:03.200 --> 1:01:06.600 Just watching him do some of his rehab, he's moving 1:01:06.640 --> 1:01:12.880 along pretty well. Probably starts training camp on pop just 1:01:12.920 --> 1:01:16.600 to give him some time to you know, get in 1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:17.720 football shape. 1:01:17.880 --> 1:01:20.840 But which is also. 1:01:22.080 --> 1:01:25.320 Now that they have a Thursday opener, they're reporting the 1:01:25.400 --> 1:01:29.320 training camp a day earlier than they had planned because 1:01:29.320 --> 1:01:32.200 you got to go through your ramp up and I 1:01:32.240 --> 1:01:36.360 think they want a weekend of like real football out there. 1:01:38.040 --> 1:01:41.840 But one of those corners really needs to step up, 1:01:42.680 --> 1:01:51.400 and another guy, Luke schoon Maker tight end because okay, 1:01:51.640 --> 1:01:56.120 Jake Ferguson played through injuries last year he looks like 1:01:56.200 --> 1:01:59.800 he's good to go, but I need that number two guy. 1:02:00.080 --> 1:02:01.120 If I'm going to be. 1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:07.880 Bullish on using two tight end offense, it's got to 1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:11.000 be more than just a guy that goes in and blocks. 1:02:11.920 --> 1:02:16.040 I thought he tried last year to show some diversity. 1:02:16.080 --> 1:02:16.840 He did. 1:02:16.840 --> 1:02:19.680 He got an opportunity when Ferguson was hurt. 1:02:20.120 --> 1:02:23.040 And so if this guy, if he can come on 1:02:23.240 --> 1:02:26.680 and you have a too tight offense, that's that versatile. 1:02:27.240 --> 1:02:29.800 I think that really helps the offense. 1:02:29.840 --> 1:02:33.840 I've always said about whatever about the generation or whatever, 1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:36.520 I just know it may not have anything to do 1:02:36.560 --> 1:02:37.280 with generational. 1:02:37.760 --> 1:02:39.880 It's just individuals. 1:02:40.320 --> 1:02:45.640 I just remember coming up, every player that was on 1:02:45.720 --> 1:02:47.680 the team. 1:02:47.800 --> 1:02:51.880 If you're called on to start. 1:02:51.000 --> 1:02:54.320 No excuses, right, you made the roster, You. 1:02:54.360 --> 1:02:57.520 Made the roster. We're not looking for you to just 1:02:57.560 --> 1:03:01.800 be a special team guy. Ron Fellows. Ron Fellows came in. 1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:05.280 He was he was very young and you know, inexperienced 1:03:05.280 --> 1:03:09.360 a cornerback. And then when Dennis Terman went down, Ron Fellows, 1:03:09.400 --> 1:03:11.920 you know, he wasn't Dennis Deterrman, but he stepped up 1:03:12.080 --> 1:03:13.440 as a starting corner bats. 1:03:13.440 --> 1:03:15.400 What you get with University of Missouri? 1:03:16.720 --> 1:03:17.959 Why did I step. 1:03:17.680 --> 1:03:21.760 Into that way. But I mean that was the mentality. 1:03:21.960 --> 1:03:24.440 That was the mentality of it all. Whoever stepped in. 1:03:24.600 --> 1:03:26.800 I didn't look at Ron Fellows as a backup who 1:03:26.840 --> 1:03:28.400 came in and started. 1:03:28.560 --> 1:03:30.760 I looked at him as a as a starter. He 1:03:30.880 --> 1:03:35.280 played as a starter, no excuses. And with these guys, 1:03:35.960 --> 1:03:38.120 you know, I don't want to hear it. I don't 1:03:38.120 --> 1:03:39.760 want to hear it. I come up with injury, I'm 1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:42.280 doing it. When you get out there and play, you 1:03:42.320 --> 1:03:46.280 gotta play like a starter. Don't play scared. You know 1:03:46.520 --> 1:03:48.240 you can get beat man. I remember my rookie, you 1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:51.880 get beat, beat beat, but then you gotta still play. Eventually, 1:03:51.920 --> 1:03:53.840 you gotta make the play. I mean, you can't just 1:03:54.200 --> 1:03:56.800 flail the whole game. You can't flail your whole year. 1:03:57.400 --> 1:03:58.560 That's what dron Bland did. 1:03:59.280 --> 1:04:02.200 He came in and played right. He came and he played, 1:04:02.240 --> 1:04:05.200 he balled out. That's the kind of players you want. 1:04:05.480 --> 1:04:08.520 I wouldn't sign anyone that didn't have that mentality. 1:04:08.920 --> 1:04:14.520 And my other guy that has to take that next step, 1:04:15.000 --> 1:04:20.760 Tyler Goydon, because he's your left tackle and you don't 1:04:20.800 --> 1:04:24.760 have really an alternative there. Now, there were times he 1:04:24.800 --> 1:04:27.320 played well there was times that showed that he was 1:04:27.360 --> 1:04:29.040 inexperienced playing, and. 1:04:29.000 --> 1:04:30.320 There were times when he was picked on. 1:04:32.480 --> 1:04:35.880 So now it's like, okay, if if you play the 1:04:35.960 --> 1:04:39.400 way you need to play, then that offensive line is. 1:04:39.560 --> 1:04:42.320 Can't play like last year, Right, you cannot. You have 1:04:42.400 --> 1:04:44.840 to improve, right, you have to improve. 1:04:45.440 --> 1:04:48.920 And you know when they chose him, it wasn't about 1:04:48.960 --> 1:04:51.160 his immediate contribution. 1:04:51.480 --> 1:04:54.440 It was this guy's got the skills to. 1:04:55.000 --> 1:04:57.280 Cause if Bill pointed out that he didn't have much 1:04:57.280 --> 1:04:59.000 playing time at all, ou. 1:04:59.200 --> 1:05:04.240 And he didn't, And now okay, it's time. And if 1:05:04.280 --> 1:05:07.960 you solidify, if he plays at a level that you 1:05:08.080 --> 1:05:11.840 really need him to play, then you've basically solidified that 1:05:12.000 --> 1:05:17.520 offensive line by putting Booker at right right guard. But 1:05:17.640 --> 1:05:20.080 I think that's going to be key because I don't 1:05:20.120 --> 1:05:22.560 know that they've got somebody else that can bail them 1:05:22.560 --> 1:05:27.040 out it left tackle. It'll be interesting to see where 1:05:27.040 --> 1:05:30.000 they play Awesome Richards. If he's a guard or if 1:05:30.040 --> 1:05:33.320 he's a tackle. That's going to be one of the 1:05:33.400 --> 1:05:34.520 key things to look at. 1:05:34.520 --> 1:05:36.200 OTA's speaking of time. 1:05:36.320 --> 1:05:38.280 Yea long pastime. 1:05:38.400 --> 1:05:41.959 And by the way, we are now less than four 1:05:42.000 --> 1:05:45.560 and a half hours away from the doors opening at 1:05:45.600 --> 1:05:50.520 Ford Center for the Girls Flag Football Championship.
