Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:13.239 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:17.439 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:22.720 official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:30.080 and Nicky Spagnola. And the first flag is thrown on 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.559 this playoff weekend. Mickey Spagnola, I'm in the SWBC podcast studio. 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:40.840 You're in the SWBC satellite center. And Mickey, what day 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:49.000 is this? It is Fight Friday. It's Fight Song Friday. 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:54.440 Oh no, Hey, we've had a false start already because 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:59.640 it's there you go, There, you go. I gotta go 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.360 back more than fifty years ago to the start of 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.880 this Cowboys Niners playoff rivalry. Take it all the way 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:12.680 back to nineteen seventy when the Cowboys started a three 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:17.040 year playoff run over the San Francisco forty nine ers. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:23.600 And this was the fight Song, stampeding all the way 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.240 to the Super Bowl two of those years, in stampeding 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.399 to a Hall of Fame career for Roger Staubach as well. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.039 How do you like that for an intro? Mickey? That 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.720 was awfully well for not having planned it. Out. We 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.480 had not planned it out. No, we had not, and 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:46.000 so but I had planned on this show. We got 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.120 so much to get to because we're previewing the three 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.960 thirty kickoff and I cannot wait for this matchup the 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.640 Cowboys in the forty nine ers. So we're doing that, 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.960 and we need to go back and give a history 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:04.080 lesson on the rivalry going back over a half century 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:09.400 and how it launched the careers of some And for 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.560 some reason, Everson is not here to discuss part of 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.000 that playoff rivalry. I think he's trying to find a 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.320 parking place outside. He should be here shortly, I think. 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.080 But we also need to get up to speed on 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.640 just exactly who's going to be taking the football field 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.400 for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Of course, this is 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:34.760 a virtual Friday as far as the media is concerned. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.960 His course, it's been a virtual virtual week for weeks 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.480 here leading up to it. But for the team as 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:46.720 well as far as any knowledge of any injury reports 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.399 concerning the team going into the weekend, it's pretty much 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.120 the status quo from what we've got yesterday. Who's going 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.720 to be on the report today, don't you think, Mickey yeah, 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.200 I think so. I think that the one person that 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.840 did not participate in practice for the Cowboys that we 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:13.680 would know Kean O'Neill. Uh. Mike McCarthy said today that 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:20.160 while he was yesterday, he did not practice, and since 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:25.360 they don't practice today, he basically pointed out that he 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.200 would be a last minute decision on Saturday. He's got 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.880 the deal going with his chest in his elbow and 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.520 so there, Mike said, they would take it right to 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:42.440 the last limit before they make that decision. So but 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.720 other than that, it's everybody else was a full go 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:53.240 except for limited by Israel Mcamu, and it looks like 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.200 that he may end up going on injured reserve to 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:04.240 make room when they bring uh jay Ron curse off COVID. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.800 So so from a Cowboys standpoint, Bill, this is about 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.760 as healthy they've been, yep. And uh in the forty 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.920 nine ers, they sound like they're as healthy as they 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.760 have been. And look who has arrived here in the 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:23.720 s WBC podcast studio. You know Everson. If you were 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.880 to go back some thirty years or so, and it 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.400 was two days before the Giants were playing the San 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.479 Francisco forty nine Ers, what would Bill Parcels reaction be 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.080 if you walked into a meeting. When you walk into 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:45.479 this preetio, hey be time forget Bill Parcells land. Bill 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.560 would be cool. You know Bill so Parcels would have 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.600 wouldn't have any problem with it. He would he would 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.039 cursey out and then we move on. Tim would hold 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.520 the grudge. Man. No, I know why you're late coming 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.120 in here. Why am I late? Because I got the 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:04.440 last parking myself. Let me go. No, I was waiting 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.880 on somebody to move lest when they moved, I parked 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.440 right next to Bill. I knew. I looked around. I 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.279 looked around. I said, every since not a here. And 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.400 I told him when I walked in here, I said, 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.240 everything's gonna be late. The first first the person I 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.280 look for you, I take Barry Churches last spot. I 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.200 think he took Barry's last spot this time Barry Church. 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.599 He comes in from the from the previous podcasts, and 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.360 you know, I wait on him to come out. He's 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.120 always looking nice and spiffy and young. So I try 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.880 to dress young with him. So that means I gotta 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.880 go deep into my closet. See these podcasts work out perfect. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.160 They're forty five minutes in length, and it's one hour team, 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.440 it's to park in one hour. It's a one hour limit. 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.480 One of these days we're gonna walk outside and our 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.760 vehicles are gonna be told as we went over an hour. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.240 Hopefully you didn't go in the handicap spot, because last 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.480 night I saw the lady writing down somebody's lights night 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:09.040 they were in there. Michael Irvin, Michael Irving. You know what, 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.640 how long how long have the cowboys been here at 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.440 the Star? Uh? I can't remember what year it was, 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:19.040 and however long it's been that that satellite marketing team 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.640 out there where you gotta walk up the hill, and 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.240 I used to park there, and then I saw Everson 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.039 Parker right up at the front door. I said, you 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.479 know what, I'm gonna start parking on my front door 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.480 d the first time, like nobody stopping me. Okay, I'm 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.679 gonna park. Yeah. So I out of my car and 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.960 yeah yeah, And so I just followed Everson's lead. All right, 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.159 got lots to get to here, and um, as I 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:49.240 said off the top, Everson, we're gonna dive into this matchup, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.560 but we're also gonna take a trip down memory lane 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:56.600 and the significance of this Cowboys forty nine er playoffs 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.160 series through the years, and I no one to dwell 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.040 on forty years ago. I want to dwell on fifty 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.880 years ago and thirty years ago, just so you know, 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.920 unless you like I just doctor, do you want to dog? 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.120 On San Francisco interview, Man, we had fun though. They said, 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.240 I don't want to hear about Roger Craig's fumble. I 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.320 don't want to hear about Matt Barr's field goal because 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.440 they were just they were born in eighty two. The guys, 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.720 I was talking, that's why we need to talk about it, 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.680 because people don't aren't familiar with it. Why and so 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.360 I don't want to hear about all of that. So 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.680 I like their introduction. They gave me love before they 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.840 tore me down it. We actually had a lot of 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.680 fun on the interview. The guys were they were great guys, 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.360 and uh no, it was all good. It was all good. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.360 So I've been talking about it. They woke me up 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.720 with that. They woke me up with it, and we 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.080 had a really nice, fun conversation about it, about my 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.520 relationship with the White Clark before he passed on, and 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.520 I think That's the main thing. Much as we can 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.560 talk about the play all we want, you know this, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.440 this young man has uh, he's gone now. And with 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.720 the als thing that that's going around, we know that 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.440 it's connected to CTE. And you know, you look at 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.800 somebody like the white Clark, you wouldn't think that he 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.280 would necessarily suffer from something like that because he was 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.760 a wide receiver and yes they do get hit, but 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.960 you think more of linebackers, lineman, fullbacks, running backs, people 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.160 like that. And uh, the shape that he was in 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:26.880 before he passed on, it was it was quick and 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.160 it was it was it was powerful, it was it 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.040 was quick, it came on fast. So as much as 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.760 we love to talk about not just to play, but 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.600 the rivalry, what stems from that is a young man 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.520 is gone, uh you know and and really just gone 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:47.240 too soon. You know. Um. In your relationship with him, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.199 I know you were out there when it was a 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.360 cowboy game where they honored Dwight Clark and you you 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:56.360 went out and righted by his family. Okay, yes, So 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:02.280 when after long after the catch, okay, when did you 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.760 establish a relationship with him? Well, first moment was when 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.800 he told me about how much money he got paid 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.120 for the code that commercial We're going way Back. They 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.240 had a barber strissand was singing the way we were 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:21.600 and the catch play was in slow motion and when 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.880 they look at an amazing commercial, like, man, this is 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.360 a very cool commercial, it's too bad on the bad 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.760 end of this. So he comes up to me and 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.520 Charelle at the time was my girlfriend. My mom was 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.320 with me, and we went to an event where we 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.439 all were league leaders in our categories, receptions for him, 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.520 interceptions for me. And he comes up to me. He 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.120 had been He was librated. Is that a good word? 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.120 He was librated, a little libraated, I guess is the word, 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.160 and comes up to me and tells me all about 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.680 how much he got paid. And that was the first 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.520 part of our relationship, because I went on to go 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.280 ahead and get my attorney and got paid. And that 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.240 particular super Bowl that was part of mine package for 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:09.800 suing Kodak was to watch Doug Williams win his Super Bowl. 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.520 All right, So just think about the connection there. If 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.800 it's not for the white Claude, I'm not sitting there 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:19.760 watching Doug Williams just break a cultural record of the 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.040 first black quarterback to win the Super Bowl. Wow. Yeah, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.040 that's pretty cool. Yeah, very cool. All right, Mickey, what 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.640 do we need to know to kick things off here 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:33.840 about this game? What's top of mind for you? Well, 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:38.240 it looks like from San Francisco standpoint that Trent Williams 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.679 went from did not practice to limited and redware. He 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.960 said he'll will be ready to go. So that's huge 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:52.320 for San Francisco to get their starting left tackle back 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.720 on the field, specially knowing that he's going to have 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.400 to go up against the Cowboys pass rushers. You know, 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.760 they had a couple other guys were limited. Elijah Mitchell, 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.000 the running back, went from did not practice to limited, 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.920 so it looks like he's moving in the right direction 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:12.080 to be able to play in the game. So yeah, 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.480 it looks like both teams going to be somewhat healthy. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.920 Even Garoppolo went from limited to full even though he 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.120 still has the sprain ligament in his thumb. So from 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:29.480 an injury standpoint, that's where we're at. And then today 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.480 the Cowboys had three players named to the first team 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.439 All Pro Team. By the way, that's right, no surprise. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:43.559 Michael Parsons, Trayvon Diggs and Zach Martin. You mean Trayvon 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.960 the guy with that's giving up all these plays and 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.960 all these yards. And you know who doesn't deserve to 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:55.480 be getting the praise of these getting that Treyvon Diggs's 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.160 amazing how he made it in it's a miracle, that's right. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:04.440 And on the forty nine ers side, Trent Williams first teams, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:09.200 first time in his career, first team All Pro at 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:14.640 left tackle, and uh, it's a let's say, I'm trying 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.840 to say, if there's any other forty nine ers on 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:22.400 the list here, I would debo Yeah, yeah, yes, Tebo, Deebo, 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:27.319 Samuel and Trent Williams on offense. What I'm really surprised, 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.200 you know, Nick Bosa, you look at what you now. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.920 Dak is the comeback player of the year. There's absolutely 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.040 no doubt about it. Dak is the comeback player of 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.040 the year. But the candidacy that Nick Bosa has put 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.000 up this year coming back from his torn aco last year. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.520 He just played in two games last year for San 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.280 Francisco and he's got fifteen and a half sacks and 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.319 twenty one tackles for lost, thirty two quarterback hits. I mean, 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.959 and he didn't make first team All Pro. The edge 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.560 rushers are t J. Watt and Miles Garrett. I mean 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.800 that's that's a pretty good competition really, you know for 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:07.240 edge rusher, uh micah h. Here's your defense. T J. Watton, 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.800 Miles Garrett. The edge rushers interior defensive tackles are Aaron 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:17.360 Donald and Cam Heyward. Linebackers Michael Parsons, Darius Leonard, Devandre Campbell, 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:23.360 corners Trayvon Diggs, Jalen Ramsey, and safety's ke Kevin Bayard 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:28.040 and Jordan Poyer. They need to switch that because in 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.800 this day and age, people aren't running a four three. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.040 I mean there's not three linebackers on the field, traditional 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:38.360 linebackers on the field ever in a game. They need 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.440 to switch this to where they need. Yeah, it needs 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.360 to be a four two five or the edge rushers. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.480 You take into account at three to four edge rusher 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:52.600 or a four three and you've got two traditional linebackers 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.760 and you've got an extra cornerback on the field. That's 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.760 what the way they do it on offense because the 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.880 offense you go one quarterback, you got one running back, 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.360 he got three fun They've been doing that forever. Yeah, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.679 they've been. They haven't changed it, not once. And then 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.040 they haven't changed it on defense. And you know you 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.960 got to get out of the three linebacker set, yes, 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.360 and they and they've and they've done that with the 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:19.200 Pro Bowl right that's right side linebackers and and and 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.480 edwards rushers. So the Pro Bowls kind of got it 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.200 right right offense, Aaron Rodgers, here's your quarterback, Jonathan Taylor 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.960 running back. The receivers or Cooper Cup, DeVante Adams, and 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.960 Deebo Samuel tied in is Mark Andrews over Jason Kelsey. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.400 Wait a minute, whide receiver Jefferson didn't make it from Minnesota. No, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:42.000 and Chase either. Wow? Yeah, so they were next in line. 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.960 Jefferson were four and five on the list in the voting, 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.280 so Cup, Adams, and Samuel were the top three vote 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.960 getters and then Jefferson and Chase were after that. You 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.960 and I love Debo, but I think I would have 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.680 it's because Travis Keils he's such a hybrid. I would 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.480 kind of dismiss him in that regard only, and I 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.800 would have had to put Jefferson in over Coop. I know, 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:14.640 not debot who over Debo? I mean, look at the numbers, man. 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.880 I mean, Debo's got numbers as far as a hybrid 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.040 is concerned, because he carries the ball and he does 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.520 so many different things. As far as being voted into 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:26.560 a particular position, that's always been something of a negative 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:31.360 because you do more than one thing. But Jefferson was, man, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.720 this guy was going off all year long. He didn't 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.360 just wait until the end of the season. I wouldn't 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.360 say just waiting the end the season like Chase did. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.200 Chase got off all season. But Jefferson was on everyone 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.600 beside He and Cooper Cup. They were the guys that 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.840 everyone was talking about as far as receivers a cup 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:52.120 all right, Jefferson, Okay, Jefferson, he has on the season 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:57.760 eighty eight catches, fourteen hundred yards and seven touchdowns. Okay, 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:03.600 And what did you do? Debo's got that right exactly. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:08.080 Debo has all right. He had eighty eight catches, fourteen 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.320 hundred yards, seven touchdowns. Debo's got seventy seven catches fourteen 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:17.120 hundred five yards and six touchdowns receiving running the football 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.800 fifty nine carries three hundred and sixty five yards and 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.400 eight touchdowns running, So he's got fourteen touchdowns total, and 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.600 Jefferson's not as a receiver, well, but yes he does. 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.520 He set the record for most rushing touchdowns buyer receiver. 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.240 He's your slot okay, so they kept up with the 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:46.520 modern age and he's your slot receiver. Okay, So you 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:52.080 got him out in number. But if you're just looking 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:58.800 at stats anyway, all right, Uh, I'm probably that young 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.760 man though he did great. And by the way, the 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.520 offensive lineman and besides besides Trent Williams is Joel Botonio 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.600 at left guard, Jason Kelsey at center, Zach Martin at 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.119 right guard, in Tristan Warps at right tackle, go ahead, 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.520 and mackey and by the way, by the way, they 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.600 also came out with the six finalists for the PEPSI 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.520 Rookie of the Year award, and Micah Parsons is one 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.239 of the six guys. Uh, that's going to be in 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.480 the finals and it'll be revealed, I guess during that 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.240 Super Bowl week. And that's not defensive Rookie of the Year, 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.760 that is overall offense and defense. It's overall NFL Rookie 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.359 of the Year. So that is interesting. Everson. If you 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.560 want to look at you know, we've you know Mike 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.880 has been a shoe in for Defensive Rookie of the Year, 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.480 but let's throw Jamar Chase into that discussion. That's tough. 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.800 Any who else is on that list? Who? Who are 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.359 the other ones? Yeah, I was gonna say Mica is 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.560 the only defensive player on that list. By the way, 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.720 and these are voted by the fans, right, it's online. No, 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:07.560 he's got the finalists. The finalists are Jamaar Chase, Nag Harris, 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.959 mac Jones, Kyle Pitts, and Jalen Waddle. That is a 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:15.480 great squad, right, there was great names, great names right there. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.680 That's impressive. You know we talked about the Comeback Player 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.040 of the Year award. Yeah, they're trying to give Dak 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:25.520 a little pushback on this. Everybody's looking at Burrows. They think, 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.240 you know, his comeback this year was pretty good, especially 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.920 the way he went out last year. I mean it 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.800 wasn't an unusual injury, but an injury nonetheless season ending. 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.600 Uh acl. I think he got a cl and him 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:42.159 cl didn't he on his injury, Burrows did. Yeah, it 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.119 was both of them. So they're trying to make a 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.600 case for him big time. A matter of fact, there 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:51.000 have been some publications where, well maybe one publication, I 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.520 don't know how legitimate it is, they've already chosen Burrows 0:18:54.560 --> 0:19:01.680 over Dak The definitely shouldn't comeback player of the year. 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.920 You have to come back from you're coming back from 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.880 an injury, but but you're also coming coming back from 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.040 already being established in your career. That's the way I 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.320 look at it. Interesting that could already been established in 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.800 his career and had that injury and then comes back 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.600 from it and Brows equals it was his rookie season. 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.600 He hadn't really established him say how he was the 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.840 top overall pick, but he hadn't established himself to the 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.119 level that that had in the NFL. So that that 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.800 would be my case for I'm with you, I know 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.120 you are. The other case was, uh, he's been hit 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:46.440 more than any quarterback this year, and considering the injury 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.399 that he was coming back from the courage that he 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.320 showed and would not take anything away from him. But 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.399 this is this is the this is these are the 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:58.400 bricks that up stacking up on his side. Ye, So 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.320 just just fy, that's good, that's good to know that. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:03.960 It's good to know. All right, Micky, what else do 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:14.800 we need to know? Um so, oh, I know what 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.440 the one I was looking for. U Amari Cooper got 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:24.280 fined for his COVID nineteen violation fourteen thousand, six hundred 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:31.520 and fifty dollars unvaccinated it I think it finally just 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:37.400 came out. YEA an unvaccinated player attending the MAVs game 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:42.639 and also on the sideline for the Cotton Bowl. That's right, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.600 Alabama and Cincinnati game. He's on the sideline. What he 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.320 was on the sideline, so it didn't matter whether he 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.840 had a mask on or not. It doesn't matter whether 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.960 he had a mask on or not. He can't go anywhere. 0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.200 If you're unvaccinated and you go to a game game, 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:03.639 you have to be in a luxury suite and you 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:05.920 got to have a mask on with no more than 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.080 ten other people in the suite. That's the only way 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.720 unvaccinated players are allowed to be out in public. And 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.160 it doesn't matter that you've already tested positive and you're 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.960 in that ninety day window. And that's what I'm thinking. 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:24.280 Because of that ninety day window, I don't know. I'm 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.760 And here's the other thing that that here's the other 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:33.160 thing that reminded me of So he had COVID right right, 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.720 and he missed he missed the Kansas City game and 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:41.480 the Vegas game, yep. And what happened in those two 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:48.639 games he lost Cowboys loss. Yeah. And also let's also 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:54.119 remember that Cede Lamb missed the second half of the 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:58.680 Kansas City game with a concussion and missed the Vegas game. 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:05.000 So when everybody talks about this inconsistent Cowboy offense, well, 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:09.240 let's see what they were dealing with two, right, because 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.679 because in that Vegas in the Vegas game, but by 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:16.080 the way, they ended up scoring thirty three points, they 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:22.160 were out their top two wide receivers. Yeah, you preach 0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.360 each other choiet hiss bacts. Yeah, that's one thing they 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.879 never talk about is the shortcomings that we've had to 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:33.240 deal with, But they always talk about the inconsistencies that 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.600 we deal with because of those shortcomings. We never have 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:39.440 an excuse for that, because, well, they got all the 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:41.199 talent in the team on all the talent in the 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:44.280 world on that team. Well, last time I look, the 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.720 loss Angeless Rams have a heck of a lot of 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.960 talent at their wide receiver position as well, And I 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:55.320 don't hear anybody giving Matt Matt Stafford excuses for his 0:22:55.440 --> 0:23:01.480 play this year. Yeah, and it just goes back to 0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:05.720 talking about what Mike McCarthy's been talking about these last 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:09.520 couple of weeks, when everybody just wants to look at statistics, 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.360 right and see what the numbers are, And he said, 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:15.840 sometimes you got to go inside the numbers and understand 0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:19.840 why they are the way they are. All Right, we 0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:23.320 were up against a break. We're past a break. We're 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.240 way past a break. And that means we got so 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:30.360 much the first one first, the first one, the first one, 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.639 and that means we've got like twenty two minutes to 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:38.760 cram in. Oh my half century worth of content coming 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:44.000 up next. We never got to that.
