Here the Star 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:49.560 in Frisco, and Everson Walls joins us from a remote location. 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:54.960 How are you, Everson? During Fine, sir. It's so good 0:00:54.960 --> 0:01:00.160 to be invited to this show. Spags is very spicy today. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.680 He is. We want to make sure we do it right. Yeah, 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.600 he is. And you know why he's spicy today is 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.960 because he's he's on pins and needles because his baseball 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.640 team is playing Game two of a division series right 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.640 now in Houston, so we may not have his full 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.800 attention for the next forty five minutes. You want to 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.120 click tomorrow quick story here. I knew we were going 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.440 to get a quick story last time. It may not 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.200 be that quick. Last time, the White Sox were in Houston, 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.000 the one at All playoff game. I was there to 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.080 watch them clinch the night to two thousand and five 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.160 World Series. It was two thousand and five, one thousand 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:43.440 and five, sixteen years ago. Wow, I was just a 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:48.320 youngster then. Yeah, you were like you were like two 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:54.120 inches shorter then no, taller taller. All right, So here 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.120 it is a Friday before the Giants are here at 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:04.600 three twenty five on Sunday afternoon, and it's a virtual Friday, right, 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.720 is that what we call it? Here? Might as well 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.720 because there's no practice and mock game day and say 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.639 virtual media availability for the players today. So that's why 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.400 I'm going to start calling it a virtual virtual Friday. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.240 I think that might be the title. They don't practice 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:26.080 at all, No, they have a extended walkthrough today and 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.320 then they practice tomorrow. It's the new school way of 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.400 preparing for games. Wow, that is so nice. Just get 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:37.040 a little stretchy in a little massage, right, and then 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.840 they build up to game day, and then they build 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.360 up to game day, so you get a little a 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:47.040 regeneration day after padded practice on Thursday, a little bit 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.639 of rest, and then on Friday and then Saturday you 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.079 start looking towards the game instead of being off for 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.880 you get forty eight hours, I work out with more 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.919 bouncing your steps, and you build up to three twenty 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.919 five on Sunday afternoon. Absolutely, I think there be real guys, 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.440 and they would have done that back in the day. 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:09.840 We would have taken that extra time and went out 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:14.000 to a club party. You know, well, I would have 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.480 used it to rest. Right. We probably did on Friday anyway, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:23.240 we knew Saturday you were off. Yeah, so that may 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.959 be the real reason behind doing it that way. Okay, 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.200 guys that go out on Thursday night rather than Friday night, 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.160 and so it's more time to recover. It's more time 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.680 to recover from from Thursday to Sunday rather than Friday 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.960 to Sunday. I recovered that was not part of ours deal. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.920 We'd never recovered. That wasn't part of the deal. I 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.280 hear you, all right, Mickeys, So tell us what's going 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.040 on injury wise with this team? Well, nothing changed. Um, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.160 you know, obviously today will be an estimation, but they'll 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.080 probably put who's gonna play and who's not. Then they 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.520 might a guy or two questionable, but I think everybody's 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:09.960 good to go. The only guys that that didn't practice 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.320 were the guys we knew weren't going to practice, Dorrence 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:17.040 Armstrong and Donovan Wilson. Their list in, Amari Cooper and 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:22.200 Zeke limited, but they had the pads on yesterday, so 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.880 it sounded like, as Mike McCarthy said in his press 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.719 conference today that they got through practice just bye and 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.120 he expects them to be good to go. The other 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.840 guys that were limited also practice. Randy Gregory was out there, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.720 had the pads on, so did Carlos Watkins, so they 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:46.200 probably will see him tying the secky limited, but if 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.360 he's in uniform, it'll be in a backup role. So yeah, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:56.760 from an injury standpoint, they're good. The Giants still on Thursday, 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.719 and that was a full practice on Thursday for them, 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:04.400 are still without Sterling Shepard and Darius uh Slayton, their 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.120 other wide receivers, so and Jabrill Peppers was just looking 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.120 up as stats and Jabille Preppers did not practice either, 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.800 so they had three starters not practicing on Thursday. We'll 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:22.920 see what happens today. Yeah, has anyone ever thought about 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:29.120 the potential matchup between Michael Postons and I love that 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.880 match Yeah, I love that matchup. You know, we've spent 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.120 so much time this week talking about the release of 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.080 Jalen Smith, so let's dive in right there. Of course, 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.680 se Quon Barkley only played in two games last year 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.200 toward his ACL, and he's been building up snaps this 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.560 year and had last week had his best game. In fact, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:57.039 scored on a fifty four yard touchdown pass late in 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.720 the game as the Giants won in overtime over the 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.560 same and they forgot to cover him out flank. That helps. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.440 That helps even if you got a bad as you 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.520 also had a long play on a screen pass. So 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.159 his ability to catch the football out of the backfield 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.159 as well as run with it, he's he's now full 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:21.120 goal after coming off that ACL. And so now you 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.920 know Parsons Everson coming off of his UH. He had 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.520 a full plate last week with sixty eight snaps, primarily 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.000 roll at linebacker. And so here we go, Parsons versus Barkley, 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.680 I love it, and Penn State versus Penn State. I 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:40.320 have a feeling. I have a feeling they're going to 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.320 uh create, you know, keep this matchup going. I really 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.200 don't see uh shay, I'm sorry, I really don't see 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.360 a Parsons lining up on the line of scrimmage. I 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.719 see him staying at the linebacker position more so this game. 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.719 I truly believe that, especially if the Giants keep it 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.000 close to where the Cowboys don't really get in position 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:05.000 to where offense is taken off the imposing offense Giants, 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.560 they're gonna have to pass the ball. So let's put 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.240 Parstons on the defensive line. I don't really see the 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.280 Giants looking at that as the optimum position to be in. 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.840 I think they're gonna try and keep the game close. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.320 They're gonna try and keep the ball out of our 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.480 offens's hand. So therefore they're gonna run the ball as 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.360 much as possible. And as they run that ball, that's 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.240 gonna be where the matchup begins. That's where you're gonna 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.720 see Parstons and Barcoley going at it. Two Penn State guys. 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:37.200 Right man, you can't. You can't. We talked about Alabama, 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.600 but this is something that's pretty cool. Two Penn State 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.760 guys going at it. And I'm talking about two of 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.640 the best to ever go through Penn State. And that's 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.360 saying a lot. All Right, I hate to bust your 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.000 bubbles here, but let's not forget Layton Vander As you're 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.600 playing man, he's gonna end up getting the Jalen Smith snaps. 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.560 So I bet Layton Vander gets about fifty snaps and 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.520 then and they're in nickel. In pass coverage, what you 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:07.160 put Kean O'Neil on Barkley and not Parsons Because that's 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:13.200 why I hate to bust your bubbles. Come oh man, 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.480 I would love to see them go one on one 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.440 every time, every play we know the matchup is coming. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.400 When they come out of the huddle, I want both 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.280 of them eyes to be looking at each other and 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.080 in the run game. And in the run game, I'm 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.440 good with that. In pass coverage, I don't know if 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.120 I want Parsons in too much pass coverage. I would 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.560 go to appreciate your lack of our yea lack of 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:41.560 your confidence. Yes, that's right, that's right. We ain't here 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.920 doing you know the movie scripts, you know, but you 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.600 gotta love that the Nitney Lions matched up against Nitney. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.560 A lion against a Nitney lion. And you know Parsons 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.480 needs to play a linebacker like another Nitney Lion. That 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.920 would be Sean Lee, you know, And when you think 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.760 about but really, seriously, you think about Shawn Lee against 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:09.560 division rivals. Okay, he always played so well against Philadelphia. 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.719 I remember games in particular where Shawn Lee he had 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.280 Lashawn McCoy's number, where Lashaw McCoy could do nothing against 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.000 the Cowboys because Sean Lee was everywhere Leshaun McCoy went. 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:25.920 And so you know, when you study it always exactly 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.400 that's my points, exactly, you just have to anticipate where 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.920 they're gonna be. When it came to Sean Lee studying, 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.680 he was in the backfield. He knew where they were going. 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.000 He knew where they were going. It's just a matter 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.880 of him getting past the interference, getting passive Lee blocker, 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.960 getting past the offensive line. And I remember against the Giants, 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.959 and I remember against the Giants there was one game 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.600 in particular, he was moving faster to where the ball 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.400 was going than the running back was for the Giants. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.040 And it wasn't a coincidence that it was against these 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.080 division rivals. He knew there because he spent the entire 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.080 offseason studying what they do offensively too. And you know 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.760 who's been in Parsons ear by the way, Penn State, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:12.199 Nitney Lyon. See there you go and to Marcus ware. 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.760 That's right, but that doesn't have a kind of state 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:20.360 that doesn't go with your storylines here like we got 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:26.640 we got movie scripts going on today. But you look 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:31.240 at the linebacker rotation and I think it really shows 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.719 why the move was made earlier this week. They've got 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.520 to get vander esh on the field more Antian O'Neill 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.120 coming back to in the Nickels situation. And you know, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.280 and as Jerry Jones said today on his radio segment, 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.800 you know this was getting rid of Sean. I mean, 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:51.439 getting rid of Jalen Smith didn't improve the team. But 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:56.480 remember Mike McCarthy's big picture. They were thinking more down 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.280 the road, they were thinking next year. Uh and and 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:04.240 so you know it became more of a financial thing 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:09.440 in the future, not something right now. Yeah. Absolutely, And 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.000 when he balked at it, it was like, Okay, well 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.480 we can't, we can't deal with this. So um that's 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.839 what it came down to. And I see where the 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.720 Packers signed him to, uh, you know, a one year deal. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.040 I think it was seven hundred and seventies and that's 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.440 that's all it needed to be minimum, right, And I 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.840 think he gets number nine too, So I guess nobody. 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.480 Maybe with the Packers head nine, I guess not. So 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.520 does that count for you know, when he was trying 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.880 to get his jerseys to number nine, they had to 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.840 pay I think change because of his former number was 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:48.200 five hundred thousand dollars down the drain. Yeah, that's probably 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.720 the biggest financial hit he's taken. That is the biggest. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.880 That's the biggest hit I could come up with. And 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.320 also it's a tough deal when you have to go 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:01.520 from Dallas to freaking Wisconsin. Come on, guys, that's bad 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:05.720 enough right there in one day. Okay, So fill us 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.520 phill us in on how that works. As far as 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:14.240 Jayalen Smith's contract, how much money Jaylen Smith is seeing 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.680 he's still getting then point to which is the Cowboys, 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.720 and so the amount of money the Packers are paying, 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.480 it just comes off with the Cowboys one him uh 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:30.280 or he gets additional offset. He's double dipping. Okay, Yeah, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:35.120 did you ever double he's hipped their walls? No, sir, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.439 I've never had that opportunity. Sorry, when you're dealing with 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.040 small contracts like mine, we don't really have to worry 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.120 about it. So, in other words, this is the best 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.880 thing that could have happened for Jaylen Smith. He's got 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.160 an opportunity to double. He's making more money this way 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.360 than had he stayed a Dallas cowboy. Yeah, but I 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.520 bet he doesn't get a moving bonus. You don't know. Yeah, well, 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.880 I know you're right, I do not constant h it's 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.040 with spots. What do you got against Wisconsin other than 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:09.199 the winners? Hey man? Yeah, the winners? Yeah. Like, what 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.360 do you have against guns other than the bullets? Yeah, 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.880 that's the same thing. Chris Beam did point out that 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.839 he's not getting the nine point two million dollars he 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.559 would have made next year if he was on the 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.559 on the fifth day of the season. Do you think 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.959 anybody else but I'm from that nine point two million. 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.079 I'm thinking he wasn't get in that anyway. And so 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.679 whether he was released now or not, so thus the 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:37.040 restructure that they prefer, exactly, Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And now, 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.800 actually you also think about it from Jalen's perspective, if 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.959 he wasn't going to get playing time here, then it 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.959 puts him in a pet marketing position to sign with 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.520 whoever it might be next year. By getting snaps with 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.959 the Packers and playing proving that he exactly right. So 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.160 because the thing here was kind of going downhill, right, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.839 and so actually it's the best thing that could have 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.000 happened for Jalen Smith. So they did him a favor. 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:12.360 I love hearing myself back in my ear with ever 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:17.840 since delay. Yeah I would have sounded silly first time 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:24.040 and second time. Yeah, you're lucky, you're far away right, 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.680 all right. What Mickey wants to get into on today's 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:32.440 show is the anniversary of what happened in October eleventh 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.760 of last year as the New York Giants come into town. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.240 And so, Mickey, you you teased it yesterday.

The left 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.080 fielder just slid into the wall, oh, trying to catch 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.440 a foul ball and they're checking to see if he 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:40.720 can still walk. But one to nothing, White Sox lad 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.280 though one nothing. All right, there's your baseball update and 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:49.920 U Cowboys and Giants three twenty five on Sunday afternoon. 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:52.840 And do you think go ahead, Mickegan, I was going 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.920 to propose this question to you guys. Okay, do you 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.160 think the schedule makers? That's exactly where I was going 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.600 where you were in the exact same question, Everson, do 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.320 you think the schedule maker had it on his mind 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:10.520 when he put down Giants at Dallas the fifth week 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.800 of the season that it was the anniversary of when 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.760 the Giants came here last year and Dak got hurt. 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.159 If they did that is extremely cruel, it is, Okay, 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.880 let's just call it what it is. You shouldn't even 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.359 do that's it wasn't like it was something that you 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.159 want to celebrate. No, it's not something you want to 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.920 have anniversary to mark down. I mean when it comes 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.880 to revenge or something like that. Yes, when it comes 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.560 to payback, but you don't want to think of this, Oh, 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.480 this is the anniversary of that gruesome injury. You know, 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.440 take it on by Dak Prescott and then we're gonna 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.720 do a follow up on the young band that actually 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.080 made the tackle and see how he's doing these days. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.560 How's your mental makeup? Sir? Oh, I'm still traumatized. You 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.399 know here there's a year later. I mean, you know, 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.920 come on, man, it's there's nothing to to really see something. 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.240 He's a producer on the team. By the way, he's 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:09.120 a producer still. It's what the guy still Yeah, yep, yep, 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.080 good player, starting safety. So make you what do you 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.280 want to say about it? Yeah? You know what, I 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.760 don't think. I don't I agree with Everson. I don't 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.240 think this was happenstance. Although maybe they looked at it 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:25.479 as we're gonna celebrate the return right that. Uh they 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.160 were they were counting dog gone. Well, when they put 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.960 something on TV like that, they cannot wait. They're gonna 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:37.600 hope someone gets hurt again. No, yes, that's what happened. 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.720 Let me tell you something. Not the same vein, not 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.720 the same vein. But I would call going back to 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:47.560 San Francisco when I was with the Giants, and they 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.160 could it was another championship game, so they couldn't wait, 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.920 Oh here we go, no championship game, So I give 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.480 up a pass to John Taylor, like, send me something 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.359 you touchdown in that game? You know, dog gone. They 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:07.439 had it cute to catch the bro I mean, they 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.679 couldn't wait to put that up there. So, yes, they 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:18.240 are cruel in that production booth. They are cruel, cruel people. Well, 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:22.080 I guess yeah, probably by May they probably would have 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.359 had Well, they probably didn't have a good indication when 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.159 the schedule came out that he was fully healthy and 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.480 ready to go, by the way at that time, because 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:35.439 he hadn't taken part in any of the Cowboys offseason 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.399 stuff really other than kind of throwing on the side. 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:44.639 So but yes, it uh, one day almost from the 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:48.760 exact day it happened. Uh is it three sixty four? 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:53.760 Three three sixty five? And let me let me explain 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:58.240 how this works. Let me explain how this works. If 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:02.879 the first day of the year is January first, the 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:06.560 last day of the year is not January first, the 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:11.400 next year, right, it's December thirty first. So this happened 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.960 on the tenth three sixty five is the elect I 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.399 mean it happened on the eleven, So this is the tenth. 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.440 So this is three hundred and sixty five days later 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.159 of the day. It actually happened very good. Yes, I 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:31.920 just thought i'd bring some logics three user. But there's 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.880 three hundred sixty four days in between the two days, okay, 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.320 all right, which makes it three hundred and sixty four 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:44.639 days later. So anyway, if they were doing this, then 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:49.320 they probably also knew that since Dak's rookie year when 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:53.800 he lost twice to the Giants, including the his NFL 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:59.080 opener that year by one point maybe was it thirty 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.480 six thirty five or you got the book right there? Uh, 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:06.520 and then he lost the rematch. He has not lost 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:11.040 another game to the Giants that he started, seven straight 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:16.800 victories over the Giants, So maybe they were thinking, well, da, 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.359 this is this is a pushover for Dak. He always 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:26.440 beats the Giants. So twenty sixteen thirty six thirty five, 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.320 that's what I guessed. What is it twenty to nineteen? Oh, okay, close, 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.040 there was another game that was thirty six thirty five 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.639 somewhere along the line. So and then they lost to 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:40.240 the Giants at New York ten to seven in twenty sixteen, 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.560 So two losses that year by four points. Right there 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.639 you go, And then he's beating him seven straight times, Okay, 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:49.320 and we're giving him the victory the last game he 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:51.600 played because he started it, by the way. Yeah, so 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:55.000 it goes on his right, that's right. Even though Dalton finished, 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.200 the relief guy never gets a victory. Ye, So Dalton 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:00.440 doesn't get credit for that one. And you know what, 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:02.720 he's been pretty good. They don't have the stat like 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:08.199 that for relief pitchers. Yeah, and he's been pretty good 0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:11.120 about it. You know. He I think after the game 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:13.879 this lat past Sunday didn't really want to talk about it, 0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:18.359 but he talked about it extensively yesterday, Um talking about 0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:20.840 you know, but but he but he kept making it 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:25.200 not to remember what happened, but to recall the work 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:28.560 he put an to get to this point where he 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:32.240 feels like his goal was not only to come back, 0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.720 but to come back as a better player. And he 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:37.879 feels like he has done that. Um. You know, when 0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:42.440 he got hurt last year, he had thrown nine touchdown passes. 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:46.159 I think it was four interceptions in those first five games. Uh. 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:50.040 This year it's ten touchdown passes in two interceptions in 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:53.880 four games. And so uh, as I pointed out yesterday, 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:57.720 his quarterback rating is one sixteen point three, I believe 0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:03.520 uh and uh one sixteen nine he's fourth. So he 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:07.520
