This is Mick 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:17.200 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:22.720 official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:29.800 and Nicky Spagnola. I feel like that we needn't do 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:37.519 play Sta Cowboys victory. Yes, yeah, you know why. No, No, 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:43.240 it's for me because that kind of parking space. Hey man, 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.440 when you have the most popular team in the world 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.479 a time, there's a lot of more people down here 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.879 at the Star. Everybody's coming out going. Well, Tuesday's a 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.960 busy work day here, absolute Tuesday. Busy work day that 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:59.800 not everybody. Monday. Tuesday is the slowest day in the world. 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.320 But it's like for other people working in the in 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:08.000 the building here, other outside the Cowboys because it's not 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.680 a busy work day for Cowboys players. No, it is 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.120 an off day for Cowboys players, but it is a 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.279 busy day as far as the buzz around this team, 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.039 don't you know, Everson Walls, welcome back that we missed 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.920 you yesterday. I missed you guys. What did you think 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.640 of the game? I love it? I loved it, and 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:33.160 you know, it's it's typical of NFL games from a 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.080 team headed up versus a team headed down. You know, 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.040 they came in with a great game plan. I'm talking 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.360 about the Colts, I really did. I thought they came 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.520 in with a great game plan. They did what they 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.840 were good at. They ran that ball, and I was 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.320 kind of proud of our defense. Yes, we gave up 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.720 a lot of running yards, but we were never threatened. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.720 I never saw us panicking on the field, and I 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.360 think we were always poised to make the plays to 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.720 stop their drives. Yeah, because if they didn't hand them 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.519 those easy scoring opportunities, they would have never scored. And 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.720 we handed them a couple of more, but they didn't. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.880 They couldn't captivate on it because we are balling like 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.680 we're balling defensively. I see no panic in this team. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.720 You know last year we were panicking because there were 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.240 certain teams that didn't just come in here and surprise us. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.760 They came in here and crushed us. Yeah. I can't 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.640 get that on my head. I'm sorry, but that to me, 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.760 the Denver game was typical of how this team was 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.520 and you know, being insensitive front runners. Defensively, we were 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.360 front runners. That is not this team. That is not 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.920 this defense this year. We give up yards, but it's 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:52.440 not in chunks, and we always seem to be able 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.680 to make the play to get us off the field. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.720 Did go Did the Cowboys really blow out the Colts? 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.920 Did they really blow them out? For one quarter? One quarter? One? 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.600 Thirty three to nothing in the fourth quarter? It was 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:11.040 twenty one to nineteen through three quarters, But at twenty 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.359 one to nineteen, I thought we were still in control. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.880 It wasn't a twenty one. It wasn't. It didn't look 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:23.200 like this is gonna be fifty four to nineteen that came. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:28.239 But that's what happens when they exhaust all efforts and 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.760 by that time the cup is empty. Okay, let me 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.360 ask you put it in this context. You saw did 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.320 you see the Ohio State Michigan game and everyone's talking 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.600 about how Michigan blew out Ohiston? I mean, and they 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.200 did in the fourth quarter fourth quarter of that game. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.480 It was a no contest. It was. It was the 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.480 Ohio State Michigan equivalent of a thirty three to nothing 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.760 Cowboys on slought against the Colts. Okay, but but Ohio 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.080 State had the lead at halftime of that game. Yeah, 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.560 and it was a close game all the way to 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.280 the end of the third quarter. And so people were 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.080 talking about, well, how State doesn't deserve to be in 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.720 the playoff because they just got humiliated by Michigan. They 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.160 got humiliated for one quarter against most of the people 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.000 that don't watch the games. That's right. But I think 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.760 what you see as as as a guy that you know, 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.880 you can see the doom and gloom coming because Ohio 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.040 State still they couldn't stop what Michigan was good at 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.880 that day, and that was the big place, and I 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.520 think Michigan knew they could make those big plays all 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.640 day long. It's happened in a certain extent with Southern 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.240 col in Utah. Southern Cal got off to that was 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.880 what they were fourteen doesn't start the game, Yeah, it 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:47.120 was like seventy three. Yeah, I want to watch this, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.599 And then as I did, it's like, yeah, I want 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:55.840 to watch yeah. And so when it relates to the Cowboys, um, 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.279 and we've we've got enough of a track record of 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.320 this team now and this isn't the first time that 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.000 they've getted a like a fourth quarter on slot and 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.240 just uh. And now they've got three of the last 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.360 five games, so they've scored forty or more points and 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.400 some of that is defense as well. But yeah, but um, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.120 it's from a coaching standpoint, especially when you're facing a 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.880 one ten and one Texans team this week and then 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.600 Jacksonville the following week, I think you make every point 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.479 in the world that this was a twenty one nineteen 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.800 game the third quarter. This wasn't the blowout that everybody 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.200 is talking about at home. If you're away from home, yeah, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.719 you got to context. You have to keep it in 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.599 context as as a team to make sure they don't 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.320 get the big head that you know and start listening 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.520 to everybody who's saying, oh man, what a not too 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.200 dismiss Houston at all. But what really scares me is 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.839 when you're on the vote, how do you how do 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.480 you perform on the vote in that fourth quarter? Because 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.279 I'd be surprised if Jacksonville lets us go in there 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.159 and just push them all over the place. They would 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.800 fight like college kids, you know, they would fight like 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.680 in a college game to where anything can happen that 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.920 kind of environment. By the way, Jacksonville had the same 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.320 kind of game where they lost to Detroit forty to fourteen. Yeah, first, 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:24.120 wait on the road for Jacksonville. When they get home, 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.080 it's crazy out there. And so we need to be 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.920 as a team. We need to be poised enough to where, Okay, 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.599 this was a game at home, when we go on 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.800 the road, we put those same ingredients in there. How 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.000 does that fourth quarter play out on the road versus 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:44.440 a younger quarterback and a more dynamic offense. And this 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:51.200 gets a little bit inflated by this last fourth quarter, right, 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.440 But I just had this notion, and I look in 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.240 the second half, the Cowboys have outscored their opponents one 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:03.719 hundred and ninety eight two, one hundred ninety to eighty two. 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:09.920 And they've outscored their opponent in every quarter except the second, 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.520 when it's a ninety to ninety time go figure, right, 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:20.400 So yeah, it's pretty remarkable. And then the only unfortunate 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.160 part of this is in overtime they got outscored three 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.960 to nothing. Otherwise you're looking at a two ten and 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.960 two team right now. So they've done something right. So 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.280 no one can come in and say they don't know 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.720 how to make halftime adjustments. Yeah, right, And and we 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.160 we seem to come out of halftime with momentum, not 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.600 just the knowledge. Yeah, and if it's not, the third 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.800 quarter ends up being the fourth quarter, and we we 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.520 just lay on them. I remember being with the Giants 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.240 and there I heard plash and say something like, people 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.760 are just afraid of us. Yeah, he said, they're really 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.120 afraid of us. I could see that in New York 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.320 they weren't afraid of meet They're afraid those big old 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.640 foods seven and I can see that they were afraid 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.360 of them. And so we were never in a position 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.239 to wear in a panic situation, and so that poise 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.440 helped us. I think these guys feel the same way. Defensively, 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.280 they have pois Even even when the coach were threatening, 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.360 they still had the poise. They still didn't make silly plays, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.640 they didn't have the huge plays they made them still 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.480 work for it offensively. But that defense, to me, they're 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.280 always poised to explode at the right time. They only 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.800 had one really bad play defensively. It was the forty 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.960 five yard completion that set up there only touchdown until 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.600 the third quarter. So, yeah, I saw you bod Digs 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:51.760 peeping people around the people around the corner. He was 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.679 he was playing a plant one. I mean by by 0:08:55.920 --> 0:09:00.880 the huddle, he was five yards inside. I saw you 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.760 you have a veteran quarterback. He looks over there. Okay, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.040 he's obviously playing the slant. He didn't even have to 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.080 get him a good inside. See. I thought when I 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.360 when I resaw that play, I thought they were in 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.319 zone and he was supposed to be inside because he 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:20.200 was so far inside, and then he jumped inside. I'm sorry, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.160 it's funny because that is just typical greed by defensive back. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.960 It just got greedy. I thought, you know, you know, 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.960 you could do it from that play. You never even 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.760 saw Digs and the game, that entire game, and he 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.280 never they never threw his way. And Michael Pittman until 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.000 the very end of the game, you never saw Michael Pittman. Really, 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:45.479 that's what I was gonna say. He was covering Pittman. Yeah, absolutely, so, yeah, 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.400 it was you know, all's well, that ends well, and 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.560 they and they continued it end very well. I mean 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.080 we're talking defensively as well. But you know, I like 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.839 to give a credit by credit, this dude Ceee Lamb 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.760 is trying to become that leader on this offense and 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.240 at a young age. He's gonna have to do it, 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.480 and he's doing well, what is the last at least 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.599 three games. And it's not just the yardage, it's the 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.360 extra things he's doing, you know. I see him trying 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.160 to break tackles him. Boy, he's not trying to be cute. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.760 He's out there playing a real man's football game. And 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.480 that's what I saw in Oklahoma. And he's finally showing 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.839 it here. Can't be cute out there. You got a 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.640 ball out and he is doing it. I like it. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:34.520 So they have held their opponents now nine of twelve 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.120 times to no more than twenty points. You should have 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.720 a chance to win when you do that. That's why 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.680 that first game still sticks in my crop. Held Tampa 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.400 Bay to nineteen points, he got beat. Did you watch 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.280 Tampa Bay last night? I did not. I fell asleep. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.200 I hope you woke up with three minutes. No. I 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.880 fell asleep with seventeen three and I woke up and 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.920 it was over, and I go, what are they talking about? 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.720 This game was over? Long time? Sixteen to three sixteen? Yeah, 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:10.720 because seven three minutes the last three minutes of that game. Wow, typical. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.880 The roof caved in. Well, I mean by the time 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.200 they beat them. Jeez, that's true. That's true. They have 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.120 a street going against Brady. It's the first time in 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.720 the regular season in Tom Brady's career that he has 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.880 come back from a deficit of more than thirteen points 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.520 in the or thirteen points or more in the fourth 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.400 quarter to win a game. That's it. Yep. One other 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.040 time in his career he has done it. That was 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:41.120 in a Super Bowl Atlanta. That's right, the guy. It's 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.800 it's like, it's like the Aikman deal. You know, when 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.720 Aikman was playing. Everyone everyone's talking about all these great 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.480 John Elway comebacks, and well, if you're ahead all the time, 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:56.480 they don't have opportunities for comeback wins. But so Tampa 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.320 Bay is sitting there by winning that game, they're six 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.760 and six now, and they're in command in the afc 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:11.200 SE Devastated by the way command They are saying, yeah, 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:16.120 well two games lead on everybody. If two account how 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:20.800 devastating that loss was for New Orleans. Yeah no, I mean, 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:25.200 you aren't even thinking a chance to make the playoffs. Playoffs, 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:31.040 all right, pet, But they're sitting there last night, Okay, 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:35.680 they come into that game and they are what four 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.560 and eight on the season, okay. Tampa Bay is five 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.240 and six on the season, Atlanta five and eight, Carolina 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:47.320 four and eight. Okay. If they win that game, they 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.320 are five and eight, tied with Atlanta at five and 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.600 eight in second place in the division, a half game 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.319 behind Tampa Bay, which is at five and seven. Okay. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.720 But because Tom Brady throws a touch stem pass with 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.120 three seconds left in that game and comes back from 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:07.439 that thirteen point deficit in the fourth quarter, instead they're 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.160 four and nine. Instead of being a half game behind 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.120 Tampa Bay, they are now two and a half games 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.360 behind Tampa Bay and have no chance in that division. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.079 It's kind of hard to believe. I five and you 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.400 still have any chance, exactly exactly, And that's how crazy 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.400 it is. But it's crazy that as that is here 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.920 they are. If they just hold on for three more seconds, 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.400 they are a half game out of first place in 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:37.840 a division. I can take you back to nineteen ninety chance, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.640 the whole way, even if even at seven and nine. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.680 Who was quite back in that game? Which one the 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.880 last one? Last? I think it was babe, Babe, Yeah, 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:54.520 you know it was Babe. I think it was you. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.800 It was the last two the last two games. Yeah, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.000 but you know what, no one else showed up for 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:05.520 that game either. It was in Atlanta, it was raining cold. 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.240 I don't know if anybody wanted to play in that game. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.440 Anybody playing in that game is now a power five 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:18.880 head coach. Yeah, Colorado, try the odd Why you show 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.720 your head everything. Oh no, I'm not gonna say. We might, 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.840 we might get we might be able to get you 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.360 a defensive back coach. No, you won't, not in Colorado, 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.040 you won't. They probably had me out there just cold, 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.240 out there smoking a bunch of weed, you know, just 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.800 laying down all every all day, trying to stay out. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:49.280 It's a recruiting bonus, the weed. Yeah, that is funny. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.640 I never thought about that. That let's you know, I'm 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.440 not old. Yeah, the fact that that's a recruiting bonus, 0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:01.400 so transfer portal it played up. Yeah, you know what's happening. Yeah, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.960 he's taking anybody named Sanders is going with him to Colorado, 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.080 including the starting quarterback, well including or including his daughters. 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.880 He probably go with him as well. Yeah, that's a 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.160 good one. All right. We're just getting started on this 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.840 edition of mix Shots.

Fewer 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.520 than four thousand have received the Medal of Honor. The 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.040 National Medal of Honor Museum will be a place to 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.360 preserve these legacies and inspire America.

You hear that I'm a torrential downpour? Torrential? 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.400 What does that even mean?

So 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.879 how much do you think oh b J enjoyed his 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.879 trip to the Mavericks game last night with Michael Parson 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.879 and Treyvon Diggs. I bet he had more fun in 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.800 Dallas than he had on any of those other trips. 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.520 Let's just you don't think he in Buffalo. He didn't 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.760 get in Buffalo. In Buffalo, he did not go to 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:14.639 an NBA game and have the fans chant ob j obj. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.520 So does that lower his asking price because he's appreciated. 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:24.200 I'm pretty sure he would raise it considering the support 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.320 he thinks he has. So, yes, did you go and 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.760 get your I was not there. I was not there. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.119 We okay, But yes, So he did the walk and 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.760 talk down in the hall boys, I was not there. No, okay. No, 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.040 he did not say much. No, he did not, although 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:48.680 he did tell Tim McMahon of ESPN he reported. McMahon 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.520 reported that, well, maybe I'll find them afterwards. This was 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.800 during the game, during the game, or he went over 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.880 and said something to him or whatever. Let me find 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:03.359 McMahon's tweet, So I get it right, exactly what he's tweeted. 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:09.280 We do appreciate accuracy on this show. That's right. Yep, yep, yep? 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.400 Or is it? Or is it? I asked that, Tim said, 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:17.240 I asked Obj what the Cowboys chances are of signing him. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:25.919 It's a good possibility, Odell said, with a million dollars smile. Well, 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.359 to give us more, Mickey, did you listen to Jerry? 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.440 Did you tell us what Jerry is saying? He basically 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.639 said what we've been saying here we said this show 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.879 for quite some time, that there's still a lot of 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:47.480 things to be considered, including health when he's available to play. 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.480 And then I'm sorry, I would looking to celebration that 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:59.040 was I didn't think I said anything funny and comes 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.800 down to finances. So it's pretty I think it's still 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.520 pretty cut and dried, you know. And and there may 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.240 be a little what Jerry talked about, because he sounded 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:15.320 like the voice of reason this morning, that he was 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:20.480 putting a little doubt in Obj's mind about how much 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.760 I will pay you because I've got other things to consider. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:28.040 So and and he didn't say this, but he was 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.080 thinking it your number. When Jerry says, when you sign 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.560 a player to a big contract, how many players does 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.120 that preclude me from signing? Like, if I sign him, 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:42.000 does that mean I can't sign two other guys? And 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:47.720 I think. I think the medical people and the personnel 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:52.199 people have He listened to them and basically said, Okay, 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.080 we got to decide when he can play. And he 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.399 also went to the point of saying he's got to 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.720 play this year. Okay. And here are the specific quotes 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.320 that Jerry had on the fan of this morning. See 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:07.679 how well I did. Okay, we had. We had pretty 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:11.600 extensive meetings yesterday. We spent quite a bit of time together. 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.679 I enjoyed every minute of it. We'll get back together 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:17.240 today and see where we go from here. A lot 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.119 of variables. It has to fit for both parties. On 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.400 being confident in a player he hasn't seen work out, 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.439 he said, I'm not confident at all. That's the issue. 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:30.639 We've got a good beat on that, We've got a 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.320 great read on his career. It all has to be addressed, 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.119 and that's when you see if you can make a 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:40.560 deal or not. He had a long pause before responding 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.159 when asked if ob j has given any indication that 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:47.359 he thinks he can play this year. Okay, long pause. 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:51.560 I'm going to kind of keep that one at Bay. 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:56.760 That was very dramatic. Billy, thank you. It's like he 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:04.520 was doing reading. But now that sounds good to me. 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:08.719 I mean, you gotta be smart. Yeah, we're out scoring 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:13.080 teams a lot of points. Ever since. If let's say 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:16.119 he's ready to go, okay, and they signed him today, 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:20.120 how long before he will play would play in a game? 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.439 Even if he's ready to go right now, how long 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.080 would it take? If I have not seen him work out, 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:29.840 then we're gonna do the ramp up. We're gonna stick 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.879 with what we do, what they always do with every 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.760 player that comes in here. There's a ramp up. There's 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.480 no need in panicking right now. Why should we panic 0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.680 right where we need to be. So therefore, even looking 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.920 at that without seeing him work out, looking at all 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:47.399 of that, then I'd be just as core as Jerry's 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:51.680 being right now. Like well, think about if he hadn't 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.160 shown me, if I haven't seen him work out, then 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.159 I can't go with confidence saying when we go to 0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.920 the playoffs, he's gonna make a difference in this, particularly 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.280 him against the Eagles or the Titans. If I can't 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.480 say with confidence he can make a difference in that game, 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.400 then I'm gonna be core just like that. And we're 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:11.840 doing well, Bro, how are you doing? You know, how 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:13.399 how are you doing? But you get good over that 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.040 will be Jake, well, because we're good over here. You know. 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:19.040 I just can't. I can't see his panicking. It's all 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:21.520 cute and he's having a great time. I think he's 0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:24.960 a great guy from Texas, if I'm not mistaken, and 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.240 so all of that's good. But man, we are in 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:31.080 the driver's seat. We are in the job. I don't 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:34.200 care even what happens next week with the Texans. We're 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.240 still in the driver's seat in regards to our wide receivers, 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:41.120 in regards our passing get because obviously no one's made 0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:45.400 him an offer to preclude him coming here for the interview, 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:49.760 and he may have said, well, I'm going a Buffalo 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:53.400 or Giants right the tour. By the way, he's from 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:56.400 New Orleans. I thought it from high school high school 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:59.120 in New Orleans. Yeah, ye's high school? Ye go back 0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:03.359 so born in Baton Rouge. Oh, I thought he was 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:08.560 in Texas. Does that change whether you want to get Yeah, 0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.000 you want any players who played college college ball in 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:20.200 that Louisiana do I. So here's any different from Texas. 0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:23.760 And if he's looking, if he's looking for a long 0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:28.000 term deal, which means he wants a signing bonus, I'm 0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:33.040 giving him a moving bonus. That's it. And then the 0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:36.880 contract is going to be structured as a per game 0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:42.040 roster bonus. You play this game, you make fifteen thousand. Well, 0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:45.440 however the amount, Yeah, that's the tricky part on it 0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:49.000 is not is structuring a contract that takes into account 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:52.320 what he's able to actually do this year, right, absolutely, 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:56.400
