WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Rainy Football Friday 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:05.560 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:13.600 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Nick 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.799 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:23.079 official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:46.760 and Nicky Spagnola. Go Dallas Cowboys. The senior the senior 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:53.199 pros are older than the young pros. And here are 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.840 bugle blow. That's a that's an honor of the great 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.200 cow That's a course the Cowboys still honor time I 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.440 got playing the bugle for trumpet for the national anthem. 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.200 But do you know back in the day, that's what 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.520 they used to call the Cowboys when they first took over. No, 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.760 they called him that pro team because college football was 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.120 so big. And I remember Frank Luxe to tell me 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.720 when he was working at the Fort Worth Press Press right, 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:26.480 uh press, he said, And he was kind of the 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.360 young guy on the staff, and he said they came 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.120 to me and said, uh yeah, we need somebody to 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.679 cover that pro team. And it was almost like, Okay, 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.360 you're not good enough to do college right, You're gonna 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.399 go do the ProTeam right. And that's what they called it. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.880 So and he volunteered. Yeah, he volunteered and so and 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.240 he said, I had to make that long drive three 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.600 times a week, right, because they had to go all 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.800 the way from Fort Worth to Dallas. And so that 0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.320 is why Bob Lily became so popular and became mister 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.280 Cowboy because he was on those that college team in 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:09.440 Fort Worth TCU that everybody cared about in the fifties. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.600 And then he came to the Cowboys and that elevated. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.079 He put the pro team on the map. Now, well, 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.200 maybe we need to start paying attention to this ProTeam 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.280 because the great Bob Milly there was almost like, okay, 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.080 you know, you're not covering college. It just might be 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.440 a little bit better than high school. You know, when 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.280 you think about some of the great players come to 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.840 Bob Lilly, it's a bunch of them's just like Bob. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.480 Why weren't they ever for the Heisman? You know, back 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.280 then they couldn't even they wouldn't even consider thinking not 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:42.560 a defensive player. I mean, I'm sure he freaking dominated, right, Okay, 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.520 I mean yeah, so you would imagine they could have 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.360 done this a long time ago. But he didn't go 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.480 to thirteenth pick in the first round, remember wow. Yeah, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.959 and there was only four there was there was only 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.640 fourteen picks and he was thirteen. He was thirteen. Come on, 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.240 now you're gonna look up that draft. Yeah. But that 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.919 that that kind of you know, dispels what you just said, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.639 because obviously they didn't give it them bout to me 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.760 with thirteen out of fourteen. Yeah, yeah, so maybe maybe 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.520 the name recognition once he got the in the st 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.160 Ball it was a local thing. Yeah, he's a Texan, 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.760 you know that I get and they and they didn't 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.079 have to fly him in. They saved money, sort of 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.840 the Larry Brown of program. You know, Bob never got there. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.200 Well I guess he ended up getting read he deserved, 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.400 but man, early on he just really here's a guy 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.280 who did I was thinking about this this morning, and 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.720 especially playing the Bears, and of course the Bears had Dick, 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:39.720 Butkus was the premier middle linebacker Leroy Jordan never got 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.240 I don't think at their respect he deserved um in 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.480 his career, even with even the professional career. Yeah yeah, 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.960 yeah right. Uh And and it's a lot of them, Bill, 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.160 and a lot of it for like for Leroy, I mean, 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.280 how are you gonna make first team all pro if 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.240 Dick buckis if you're if he's playing for the Chicago Bears, 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.680 you know, and with his with your with your teammates themselves, right, 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.640 and he wasn't even you know, Chuck Halley's going into 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.200 the Hall of Fame. You know you got Chuck right, right? 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.960 And uh, you know it took until Jerry bought the 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.120 team for Leroy got into the Ring of Honor's right. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.480 You know, Joe, did you find it? Oh, I'm looking 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:22.720 at home. I don't get well. You know, you can 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.200 look at all those old middle linebackers right that there 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.720 were some pretty good ones. Tommy Noble's not getting any love, right, 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.560 But when you were when you're with the team, and 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.120 I can say this for a fact, and I was 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.120 proud of it. When you're with the team with so 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.719 many stars, man, you better sit back and wait your turn. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.000 That's just all it is. Better just telling you I 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.240 used to walk into places with Come on walking in 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.360 place with Tony Dory, said Drew Pearson. You know what 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.480 I mean? Come on? If I just started back, was 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.680 it like who's that guy? Yeah? Yeah? And I loved it. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.479 I loved it because I had no pleasure on me 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.000 they had to do all the things. I didn't have 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.320 to do anything. And being a part of that two 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.000 tall Jones, I mean, come on, Harvey Martin. Whoo who 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.120 who was that little kid from from where? The way 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.440 it is? Because I think Leroy was like the fifth 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.840 pick in the draft out of Alabama. I mean, oh 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.680 he was high. Yeah. All right, so you're asking about 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:23.160 the nineteen nineteen sixty one draft. Okay, Bob Lily was 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:27.640 the thirteenth pick. As Mickey said, there are two other 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.920 Pro Football Hall of famers who played for the Cowboys 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.240 who were drafted ahead of him in that nineteen sixty 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.480 one draft. The number five overall pick, speaking of these, 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:45.240 said Chicago Bears was no, no, no, that's sixty five 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.760 played for the Cowboys. Just played for the Cowboys and 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.560 the Chicago Bears fifth pick in the draft Mike did 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.400 out of pit okay. And then well Jimmy Johnson was 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.400 the sixth pick, but that's a different john that's the 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:04.520 cornerback he played at UCLA, all right. And then the 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.000 twelfth pick right before Bob Lily at thirteen the Green 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:16.520 Bay Packers played for the Cowboys. Oh, Smu, no Forest 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.840 Greg No, No, that's a great guests, great guest, but 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.240 cornerback her battle, her battle lego. There you go. So 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:28.160 there's two of the players that were picked um one. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:32.280 Number one was Tommy Mason, half back from Tulane Rams, right, 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.680 Minnesota Vikings. Oh that's right, who drafted him? Anyway? Yeah? 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.440 And to relate it to Sunday, Darnell Mooney, the wide 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:47.640 receiver for the Chicago Bears, went to Tulane. Okay, Nor 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.240 Sneed was number two to Washington. Well how did Washington 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.920 get the second and the third pick? Joe Rutgan is 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.400 a tackle from Illinois. Then Marlin McKeever of the Rams, 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.359 and then did Kin and Tom Mattie went seventh. He 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.919 was a good name, all right, There you go. Billy 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.120 Kilmer went eleventh to San Francisco ahead of Bob Lilly r. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.360 All right, so there you go. All right, And now 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.560 is Zeke going to play Sunday? Yeah? Only if he 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:18.840 practices Saturday, and he hasn't practiced Wednesday or Thursday. So 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.560 we're that what you make? So are we going to 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.120 get an email from the Cowboys or some light tweet 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:29.040 from the Cowboys after practice on Saturday that informs us 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:34.040 whether or not his game station. They'll probably do it 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.880 after this show. Well normally on Friday. The game status 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.960 if if, I mean it could be doubt if it's determined, 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.800 you know, yeah, so yeah, what will he be termed today? 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:49.400 Questionable or doubtful? Well, oh, that's right. The projection is 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.240 Friday and it will be did not practice right, and 0:07:55.240 --> 0:08:00.600 that projection would probably be doubtful. I think they would 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.000 hold on to not out because I don't think you 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.680 can list him is out and then Sunday he wants 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:11.480 into McCarthy's office and go, I'm playing. I'm right. Yeah, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.600 there's a reason. There's a reason that they do that 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.040 on Friday, So they could probably do doubtful. I think, yeah, okay, 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.000 so if they could do questionable too, and he's still 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:26.280 right and uh so that would mean yes. If he doesn't, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:31.960 then Tony Pollard's the guy late Davis who, by the way, 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.760 Chris just brought up his high school great high school stats, ridiculous, 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.960 And then you might have to elevate a guy off 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:45.840 the practice squad. I was gonna, I mean another guy Allison. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:50.160 Is that the guy's Quadri Allison Dree Allison who they 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.439 picked up. He was a fifth round pick from Atlanta, 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.400 six one thirty two pounds out of pit. You remember Amy, 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.960 I remember you talking about him Everson a rookie when yeah, 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.480 he's he's been in the league, right, Yeah. And in 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.040 fact with Atlanta last year he played in eight games, 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.840 had twenty one carries one hundred and five yards. That's 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.319 a pretty good average. Fact. Why why hadn't he been 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.200 playing all year? Well, by the way, that would be 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.840 twenty one more carries in the NFL than Malik Davis. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.760 That's true. And I also just looked this up because 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.880 I was kind of in the middle of writing my 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.760 column for today. The most carries Tony Pollard has had 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.079 in a single game in his career has been fourteen. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.240 He did it twice, once in twenty nineteen and once 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.679 last year against the Tens. So now to expect him 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.720 to get I guess twenty wouldn't be out of the question. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.880 But what if you needed twenty five? You know, that 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.000 might be going a little bit over the top. What 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:58.120 if you need blitz protection. And that's another question you 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.959 see not just from him, but from Malie Davis. So 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.200 it's not just it's not that they don't want to 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.440 do it, right, they don't know how to do it. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.480 And by the way, I said Malik Davis, I can't remember. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:17.800 I said he hadn't played yet. Yeah, I mean he 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.000 has no NFL snaps yet, that's right, He's played on 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:27.360 special teams. Yeah. So uh two games, the Philadelphia game 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.960 in the Detroit game. I had fifteen special team snaps 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.880 against Philly and sixteen against Detroit, but no carries. So 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.400 when you look at the Bears defense, they are strong, right, 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.640 they really are. They have a good defense because their 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.480 offense is really put them in some bad situations. So 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.680 they are going to up the annie. If Zeke's not playing, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.200 you know, there's gonna be a lot more blitz coming, 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:55.480 especially on the other side. Then you've got Dad who's 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.600 just getting back. Now, the key to this, I'm bringing 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.319 it from Chicago. I'm gonna bring it. I have really 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.320 I mean that that's still in the hunt in regards 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.360 to the division. But this would be a game to 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.439 what if I'm gonna win it and I'm going to 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.959 be aggressive because the Cowboys don't like teams to come 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.120 in and be aggressive, and this would be the book 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.160 on it. This is a game Ebraflus has circled on 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.319 his calendar, not because he has any disdained towards Dallas, 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.080 but this is where he worked for a number of years. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.160 And so I mean you naturally look at the look 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.760 at the schedule and go there Dallas. Yeah, at six 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:37.079 I like for us to play well six years. Six years. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:41.640 He was here from twenty eleven through twenty seven seasons, 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.320 so seven seasons in Dallas. And if you go back 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.600 and look, and and Eberflus was you know, he came 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.040 with Rob Bryan, Okay, because he was at Cleveland with 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.600 Rob Bryan before. So at three to four defense and 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.679 then the course of Cowboys made the conversion of the 0:11:55.720 --> 0:12:00.079 four three and Marinelli kept him in Missouri before that. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:05.880 I'm sorry, but so two different systems, okay, And really 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.040 and eber Plus was the was the pass game coordinator 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.200 defensively with Marinelli as a defensive coordinator his last couple 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.640 of years here. But it didn't know he made a 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.920 he had a big hand in what the Cowboys were 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.840 doing defensively. But you know, my last two he was 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.800 the pass game coordinator. Is there an echo in here? 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.760 Did you just say? I was thinking, yes, you are. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:40.640 I can't think multitask, but now that that my my, 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.480 you know, it would have been a concern, But there's 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.560 no there's no uh you know, there's no crossover. He 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.280 wasn't really here when we had this offensive scheme that 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.360 we have in not like he's accustomed to the way 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.600 we do business. Well, I mean, well he was here 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.199 when you know Dak's first two years in the league system. Well, yeah, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.280 because Winnahan and Garrett Yeah yeah, but Kellen Moore was 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.000 all the teams they strayed very far from that. See, yeah, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.920 that's that's a connection. Yeah, because that's a trend. You 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.559 want to look at trends if you're gonna if you 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:16.679 and he was here long enough to understand that he's 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.960 got to control Dak Prescott. Yeah, he understands what Dak 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.960 likes to do, even going back his first two years 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.360 in the league. I mean, so there's some uh, it's 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.520 going to be interesting. That's a different quarter back Froment's 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.840 first two years in the league. He is, and yet 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.440 there's a lot of people and we've talked about it 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:38.000 that in many ways, with what the Cowboys are defensively, 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.560 much like the way they were when Eberflus was here 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:47.960 in twenty sixteen, defensively, Uh they were pretty good. Uh yeah, 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.040 and Dak was successful not having to do that much. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.920 And and we've talked about Dak could use going back 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.640 to his roots a little bit and not rely more. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:02.160 Yeah others right, yeah, yeah, so no, they need him 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:09.080 to do more. Who are you relying on if if 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:14.079 you don't have Zeke, not a Pollard? Right? I need 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:18.760 him to start? Look, oh now, now Zeke matters. All 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.240 I hear out there is that Pollard is so much 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.960 better than zy Zeke even getting carries the beginning to 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:28.600 choose who you hear from. He needs to go back 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.600 to being Dak, and in this offense needs to be 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:35.720 more efficient. I think it's a miracle that they are 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:40.760 five and two, averaging nineteen points a game. And guess what, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.320 the Bears are giving up an average of nineteen points 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:50.720 a game. So this the Cowboys are scoring nineteen this game. Yeah, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:55.560 you're going on record. Oh no, there's money average nineteen 0:14:55.600 --> 0:15:02.120 Bears give up nineteen nineteen to eighteen? What average game? 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.640 I just did it too, by the way, well we 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.960 can figure it out real quick. I wanted to have 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.640 your little stat sheet there that you gave to me earlier. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.760 This week and I've lost I want to say it 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:18.160 was like thirteen. Okay, let me well figure that out 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.320 and then figure and then okay, here's your assignment during 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.040 this break and figure out. Figure out what the Cowboys 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.720 average giving up and what the Bears average scoring, and 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.320 we're going to figure out the final score on Sunday. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.280 We got much more mix shots in just a moment. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.440 The Medal of Honor is our country's highest military award 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.080 for valor in combat. More than forty million individuals have 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.080 served in the armed forces since the Civil War. Fewer 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.600 than four thousand have received the Medal of Honor. The 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.120 National Medal of Honor Museum will be a place to 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.400 preserve these legacies and inspire America.

All right, 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.640 and the results of your research during the break, which 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:20.120 was the last Bears averaging offensive? Bears are averaging offensively 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.000 how many points? Eighteen eighteen? And the Cowboys are averaging 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.600 how many offensively? N nineteen? Okay, so I said nineteen 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.640 eighteen off top of my head. All right, and so 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.160 and the Cowboys are averaging giving up thirteen? You say, 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.760 oh is that? What is that said? Well? Give me 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:44.920 the Bears defensively The Bears are defensively giving up nineteen. Right, Yeah, 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.239 that's what you said. That's what you said. All right, 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.320 all right, So somebody's going to score nineteen points in 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:55.320 this game? Okay, Everson? What's on your mind as we 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.879 head into this game against the Bears. You know, you 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.919 guys give me pause. Man. You know when you used 0:18:59.920 --> 0:19:03.040 to are talking about Zeke being out, that really does 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.600 change the whole you know, outlook, at this game as 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.600 far as how we attack the game plan, how we 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:13.240 use it. We're playing right into the Bear's hands, you know, 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.919 because they are a good defensive team. But what really 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:22.040 concerns me. I am not worried about the running backs 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.680 in this game, even though they do lead the league 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:29.760 in rushing. I do worry about justin fields scramble situations. 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.560 I worry about his ability, especially doing the hectic parts 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.560 of the game. We're tired. This guy's back there, he's 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.199 in great shape. He gets beat up every week, and 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.720 he still comes back and runs very well. And those 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.040 runs make a difference in the end of ball games, 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.439 and they move the chains. That's when we get in 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.840 trouble defensively, is when we allow the offense to move 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:56.479 the chains and his scramble ability, that can happen very easily. 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:01.000 He's a running back basically way I mean, he's not 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.800 like this frail quarterback that's got a scamper around right. 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.240 He probably could have played running back. He could have 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:13.840 receiver sixty three two twenty eight pounds. Yeah really ran 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:21.200 yep and he uh that's prototype size. Uh And he 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.920 ran a four four one on his pro day. Will 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.440 McClay I think as will As told me yesterday that, yeah, 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:29.480 he was at his pro day and he clocked a 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:31.639 four four one. Maybe it maybe maccarthur told me that, 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.040 so you you might have to have two spies on 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.480 this time, might not have one one, might not be 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:44.000 enough hurt. That's by design. Those runs are by design. 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.479 I don't believe recalled the Bears doing any quarterback drawers 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:50.320 or anything like that. All you see is when when 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.879 he makes his yards, it's always from a scrambled situation. 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.080 It's not like Jalen Hurts. Actually, this last game, they 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.879 had a couple of calls they did quarterback runs against 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:05.480 They had one and Will McClay he tellustrated it on 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.400 the Mike McCarthy Show, which you can watch eleven thirty 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:14.439 on Saturday nights across the Dallas all across the Dallas 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:19.120 Cowboys Network party posted on Dallas Cowboys dot com. There 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.080 was one play in particular where the Patriots had They 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.439 did everything you would want to do as far as 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.360 containing a quarterback, and he was able to slip out 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:31.879 and get a sizeable game. Um, you know, if we 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.200 don't put it out, if we don't put it put 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.200 some distance between those point wise. That's right, and that's 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.480 what you were talking about with debt, because if you 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:45.000 score points, you make these other teams play out of character. Right. 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.800 They got to play catch up and they got to 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.920 take chances, and that exposes their weakness. They don't they 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.160 they they played to their defense. We've been talking about 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.000 this all season. They actually catered to their defense and 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:00.360 to their running game. And so if you I'll take 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.360 care of it, Yeah, it will take care of you. Yeah. 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:08.920 So that's how you how you play better defense, score points, situation. Well, 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.119 let me go here, then let me give you the 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.320 complete engine. Yeah. Day Yeah, there were a couple of 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:21.440 editions yesterday. So Micah Parsons was listed as limited with 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:26.240 a shoulder. Now, he came out a little bit late 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:29.600 after the stretch, but he had his pads on. So 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.440 limited means he didn't do everything, but he was capable 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:38.639 of being out there. Uh So uh McCarthy said, I 0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:44.000 foresee him practicing Saturday. Yeah, so that's a good sign. Uh. 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:51.440 Sam Williams did not practice. Um, he had a knee 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:55.760 right yea um, and he said that he has a 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.520 chance to practice on Saturday. So that's a good sign. 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:03.000 Hooker was in rehab. He said, if we had to 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.800 practice today, Hooker would still be in rehab, So that 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:14.000 doesn't sound very promising. And then Noah brown Um was 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:21.560 listed as out with a foot injury and he was 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:27.040 not in pads yesterday, and the best Mike could say 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:32.240 about him is he's progressing, doing well. We'll see on Saturday. 0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:39.520 So that not only complicates the offense, but it also 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:46.040 means what happens on special teams, right, because he's the 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:50.920 personal protector, by the way, and so then you would 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:53.000 have to replace him there, and that's kind of a 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:59.440 significant spot. So that would mean if he can't go, 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:03.880 and Jalen Tolbert is up, yeah as your third, right, 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:09.359 and then Michael Gallup can't get zeroed out or one catch, 0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:12.320 you know, he'll be a more integral part in the 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.720 passing game, which I still think they need to be 0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:19.760 more efficient. You know. It's one thing for Dak to say, hey, 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.000 I just want to win. If that means throwing the 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:25.720 ball twenty times or whatever, that's what we'll do. But 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.120 I think to continue winning, they got to be able 0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:31.800 to be more efficient throwing, and especially in this game 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.399 without Zeke. Yes, yeah, tell you what I like the 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:39.360 Bear secondary and a couple of them are rookies back there, 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:42.919 and they both had picks in the last game against 0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:46.600 New England. And the corner Kyler Gordon was a second 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.920 round pick thirty ninth overall out of Washington. And the 0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:54.200 free safety Jikuon Brisker, free safety strong safety, the intermix 0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:57.879 him and Eddie Jackson and the veteran back there. But 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.600 Brisker was also a second round pick. He taken nine 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:04.800 picks later. Uh, and he's been really impressive. He's out 0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:06.480 of Penn State. Was he the one that had the 0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:10.840 pick off the wire that maybe he did? Yeah, because 0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:14.440 Gordon had the one. Um Gordon had the one where 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.520 Zappi threw behind the receiver the left flat right and 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.119 his was the one that went way up with one hand. Ye. 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.120 And Roquan Smith had the other interception the middle linebacker 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:26.960 who's really good. So they're good, so do Knox. Yeah 0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:29.600
