Oh, 11 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: Satan Mick is in the house. Maybe that's what we 12 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: need to We need to rename the Monkey Sat Mick 13 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: or Sat Nick. Huh. Boys, you see you should have 14 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: thought of that yesterday. That's actually pretty good. That's right, 15 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: all right? Yeah, I see now that a periscope is 16 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: up and going now, and so I can see that 17 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: you've got Saint Mick at your side inside the SWBC 18 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: Mortgage studio and Mickey is dressed festivally for the occasion, 19 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: probably been inside Forward Center and watched a little practice 20 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: today too, right, Mickey, Yes, we did. They needed a 21 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: pull report today from Rob and I, and so we 22 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: got to watch those warm ups and stretch and a 23 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: couple of individual drills. And I can tell you that 24 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott was on the resistance chords working off to 25 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: the side during the time we were there. Mike McCarthy 26 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: made it sound like that he would be limited to 27 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: these first couple of days, but kind of hopeful that 28 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: he would be able to play on Sunday against the Eagles. There. 29 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: The Woods were not there, Xavier and Antoine they were 30 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: gonna miss practice with their respective injuries. Neither was Layton 31 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: vander esh But Michael Gallop looked like he might be 32 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: doing something. At least he was out there. He went 33 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: through the team stretch. The wide receivers were sort of 34 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: off to the side doing their stuff with the Special 35 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: Teams unit working and then but he had his helmet, 36 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: so that bodes well for maybe doing a little something, 37 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 1: And Mike McCarthy thought that from what they've seen over 38 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: the last past two days that he should have a 39 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: good chance of playing on Sunday. So that's what we 40 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: saw in practice, Although we haven't heard yet. Why but 41 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: the bell Doozer was not at practice tonight. Hmmm. Interesting. Okay, 42 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: no Blake Bellott practice because he didn't have anything. Now 43 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: he did, Yeah, so hopefully it was a personal matter 44 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: or something. But yeah, he was not there and we 45 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: hadn't heard yet the reason for that yet. Well about 46 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: the other ou sooner Uh, Okay, Gallimore was out there, Yeah, 47 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: he looked like he was ready to go. So and 48 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: Mike didn't even mention him with the with the injury guys, 49 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: So it looked like he was good to go. Uh. 50 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: And I guess without ant twine Woods out there justin 51 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Hamilton would they had been using him at the other 52 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: defensive tackle spot. Uh. And then when they were going 53 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: to their nickel in the game, if you noticed, I 54 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: mean the nickel when it was definite passing situations, uh, 55 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: they moved Aldon Smith inside with Tyrone Crawford as the 56 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: pass rushers, and then Randy Gregory was the defensive end 57 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: along with DeMarcus Lawrence. That was an excellent move. That 58 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: is the first piece of individual defensive coaching I think 59 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: I've seen all year long. They made an adjustment, I mean, 60 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: and first of all, good afternoon. Bill. You know you 61 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: didn't even get around to introducing me. Thank you very much. 62 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: I want to say hi to the people.

I had to 65 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: wait till I got a little warmer. And all right, 66 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: look there there you go, look at that. See that. 67 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm the only one that listens to Bill. I'm the 68 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: only one that listens to Bill. Even though this is 69 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: yours show. We were supposed to be pretty festive in 70 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: regards to our what we crowned out. Yeah, that is 71 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: very cool, spact. You look very good. But I must say, 72 00:04:52,680 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: you blew it. There you go. It's got the tag 73 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: on it and everything right there. All right, all right, 74 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: you're right. You know, I checked my stock show. I 75 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: checked my stocking caps. I checked my stocking caps that 76 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: we had, and I've got a pretty small head, but 77 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: none of them fit. So I said, no, I don't 78 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,119 Speaker 1: think we're gonna let it just sit up like like 79 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: like like one of those color things. So that's Those 80 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: are Christmas trees on top of your head? Ever since 81 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: that is okay, make noise too, very nice. Noise can't here, 82 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: but they make a little noise. I'm cool. Well, just 83 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: let me know when we need to make noise. I'll 84 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: put the batteries in satan Nick and get a little 85 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: clapping going on. Oh wow, sat Nick comes with batteries too. 86 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, except that I don't have the 87 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: push button, so it doesn't turn off unless I take 88 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: the batteries out. We can sing Christmas carols in our 89 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: last segment if you'd like. I don't sing. Let's not 90 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: no please. I cannot sing or dance, by the way, 91 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 1: So yeah, I can remember. I can remember in third 92 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: grade we'd count off and we'd have like four different 93 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: teams in the class, and we'd be counting off and 94 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: I'd say the number, and then the kids that were 95 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: going to be on that team. Goal, of God, we've 96 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: got him on the team. When I tried out, when 97 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: I went to my first choir rehearsal at my church 98 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: in Hamilton Park, we had a very strict music teacher, 99 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, choir leader, and boys, she scared me. I 100 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: mean she scared me. She would play the music and 101 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: threaten you at the same time as she lips some 102 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: things right. And my first song, my first solo, I 103 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: had you have to do it. You know, it's a 104 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: writer passage in everybody's church or whatever. My writer passage 105 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: was to have my first solo. I cried as I 106 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: sang throughout the entire so ote it. I was like nine, 107 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: maybe nine years old. I hated it. You know, it's 108 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: like saying your first East of speech. You always punk out, 109 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You get up there and 110 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, there's too many people, and 111 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: then you go running to your mom. You're sitting there 112 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: lap and start crying. Something that's pretty much might bring 113 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: all right, the breaking news out of Washington today. I 114 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: just saw an NFL network they have stripped the captain 115 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: label for Dwayne Haskins. And so, of course that game 116 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: of a great importance to the Cowboys Washington taken on Carolina, 117 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: and so he's no longer captain Dwayne Haskins. He wasn't 118 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: practice today, however, I saw a report that he cannot 119 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: be in meetings. He only can do zoom meetings. So 120 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: he can be on the practice field with his team, 121 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: but he can't, but he has to go virtual once 122 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: they're off the practice field. So wait a minute, the 123 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: NFL and punish him apparently, there was a report that 124 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: the the Washington football team, as a reporter put it, 125 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: they worked out a deal with the NFL on something. 126 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know what that deal entails. I bet 127 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: Denver would like to know what the deal is practice 128 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: exactly exactly, that's right? What what is what is this 129 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill making deals? What is going on? This guy's 130 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: getting the pardon already? Is Washington? Yeah, everybody else is 131 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: getting pardons. They might as well pardon him too. Yeah, 132 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: so I'll be I'll be tracking that deal was possible 133 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: and he and he's not and he's not even being 134 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: set in as a prison already. I don't I don't 135 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: really understand that that's even part of the the process 136 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: of protocol. Yeah, you know, you have to do this 137 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: and you have to do that. But if we can 138 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: make a deal, then yeah, all of that goes away. 139 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: I don't know. That sounds very fishy to meet. I mean, 140 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: which team was it the players got fined for being 141 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: at that charity thing? Giants? Was it the Giant? I 142 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: think it was the Giants? Huh the Raiders, that's right? Thanks? Yeah, yeah, thanks. 143 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: So anyway, that's going on right now. But as far 144 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: as the Cowboys are concerned. They are concerned with a 145 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: different quarterback, and that would be the rookie Jalen Hurts 146 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: this week, and over the course of these forty five minutes, 147 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: we'll discuss a lot about how do you defend Jalen Hurts. 148 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the more fascinating aspects 149 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: of this matchup is the way the Eagles are using 150 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and what the Cowboys are going to do 151 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: to defense Jalen Hurts. And one guy, Mickey, you did 152 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: not mention your practice report because he would not be 153 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: at practice. That would be late in Vanderesh, and the 154 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys will be without Vanderesh this week. It looks like, yeah, 155 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: you know what I've I've taped like four different things, 156 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: and so it's like I just figured I mentioned Layton Vanderish, 157 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: but he's not going to play. I mean, if he's 158 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: got a now high ankle sprain, he's out for at 159 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: least a couple of weeks. So, uh, yeah, he will 160 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 1: not be at practice this week for sure. And so basically, 161 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: and as you alluded to or you've mentioned before with 162 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: the Woods, both Antoine and Xavier looks like they'll be 163 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: out this week. Vanderish out. So you're down three starters 164 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: on defense this week. Yeah, absolutely, And you know with 165 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Xavier out, they they are. When he left the game, 166 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: Darien Thompson and Donovan Wilson took care of safety, and 167 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: then at the linebacker spot it was Sean Lee and 168 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas and you know it was funny they were 169 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: so when they were practicing, uh, special teams, Thomas and 170 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: Gifford and whoever else Bernard they're at with special teams. 171 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: So the linebackers are over at the side there and 172 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: there's only three of them, and I looked and I go, God, 173 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: that's like getting one on one, you know, special attention 174 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: you get, you get individual instruction over there when you're 175 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: a linebacker. You got two linebacker There was actually three 176 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: linebacker coaches and three linebackers. So they shouldn't make a mistake, right, Well, No, 177 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: that lets you know what the priority is gonna be 178 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: for this weekend. We know what's gonna happen. Well, it's 179 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: like going back to ou Bill. It's like it's gonna 180 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: be another big twelve game. Hurts is gonna be running 181 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: the same offense pretty much. They probably land at Ou 182 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: in regards to the RPO putting the pressure on them 183 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: one way or the other. You better contain every play, 184 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't get outside. I mean, we know 185 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. We have to do is go back 186 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: and look at the Kyla Murray game. We can see 187 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in regards to what the defense is 188 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: going to be facing. And I don't know without with 189 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: our few linebackers that we have left, we know that 190 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: we have no choice but to be in that nickel, 191 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: even if we thought about changing, which obviously we never will, 192 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: but I still, even if we had that option, having 193 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: these few linebackers, Philly think they're like it's blood in 194 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: the water for Philly. They're gonna they're gonna come after 195 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: them and go up, come at their weakness defensively, you know. 196 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: And if they only have three linebackers, no big deal 197 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: because they only played more than one. You know, they 198 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: played two, but never mores and you know sometimes just one. 199 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: So three is fine, and I hope and is going 200 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: to lead over to the secondary right rights. Fact. Now 201 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: you got another another safety that's gonna have to be 202 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,359 Speaker 1: ready and playing in a position that they're not accustomed 203 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: to playing in as well. Um, it makes situational football 204 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: even more important. And maybe that's what they were going 205 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: over as they would being isolated. You know, certain things 206 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: you just have to expect in certain situations, and maybe 207 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: you play one of the corners as a safety. I 208 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: would think that Anthony Brown could probably do that. If 209 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: Trey Von Diggs is ready to take more snaps at 210 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: at the cornerback position, Jordan Lewis in the slot, Chitebeo 211 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: Woozier at the other corner, maybe you use him in 212 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: that situation because he's played in the slot before. So yeah, 213 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to adjust. But that's this season, right, 214 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: It's all about adjusting and how well you do. And 215 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: you better adjust to Jalen Hurts. I went back and 216 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: looked and added up his numbers. You guys over these 217 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: over the last two starts, he's run the ball twenty 218 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: nine times for a hundred and sixty seven yards. He's 219 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: got five hundred and five yards passing with four touchdowns, 220 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: no interceptions by the way, yep, and even with a 221 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: guy that hadn't had a chance to get game planned. 222 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: That usually happens the first game spags, but when it 223 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: comes to the second game, there's usually an adjustment that's made. Okay, guys, 224 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: we see a little tendency. But Peterson, I've always said, 225 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: I think he's really underrated as a coach. I think 226 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: he anticipated those uh potential failures that comes with a 227 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: second start. And let's just see how well he hasn't 228 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: prepared for this game. Because at this point this year, 229 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't think defensively we've ever we haven't been out 230 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: coaching anyone. It's gonna all have to come from effort alone. 231 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: And we were talking about the DBS and the Nickel package. 232 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna be a little bit more outnumbered even as 233 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: we get down in the goal line spags, because you know, 234 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: Brown is pretty decent out in coverage in the same 235 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: and there he's still not comfortable with him in that slot. 236 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: But still, when you get down that goal line, you 237 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: need to you need somebody with some bigger shoulder pads 238 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: to come in there. And now that's when you're going 239 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: further into the top of the defensive backfield. And who 240 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna come up with that Someone who's a harder hitter, 241 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: you know. And I can't believe this came out of 242 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: my mouth. A couple of times this week. It's like, 243 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'd rather see the starter Carson Wentz playing 244 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: quarterback than Jalen Hurts. Hmm. I was looking forward to 245 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: some costing me. I'm not lying when they when they 246 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: put Hurts there, it's like, and we talked about this, guys. 247 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: I told you, guys, this this guy is dangerous. And Bill, 248 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: you you were referring back to when he came to 249 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: ou and you know, some of the weaknesses that he 250 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: clearly had. That's why he went second round. But you 251 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: clearly some of the weaknesses that he had. But what 252 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: I do recall, and we touched on that yesterday as well, 253 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: is his improvement when he was at Alabama coming into Oklahoma. 254 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: Clearly a different quarterback. Yes, still made mistakes, but his 255 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: skills passing wise and pocket presence wise. Just as a 256 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: leader from a quarterback position became more diverse, his entire 257 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: game became more diverse once he came to OUA. The 258 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals sacked him six times last week, and the Eagles 259 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: on the season, Carson Wentz was sacked fifty times in 260 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: twelve games, fifty sacks that the Eagles had given up. 261 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: And now with Hurts coming on no sacks the first 262 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: week against New Orleans but six sacks last week against Arizona. 263 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: With a young quarterback, a rookie quarterback like Hurts, what 264 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: do you do as far as maybe bringing the heat 265 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: against him and blitzing him. I'd love that situation. You 266 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: bring the heat, but it has to be a control 267 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: blitz because all he wants to do is break that containment. 268 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: And the other thing I wouldn't do. I wouldn't even 269 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: show him the blitz because that's when I think you 270 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: give him an advantage. I wouldn't show him the blitz. 271 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: I would disguise it very well and when I'd come 272 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: with it. I would love for the Cowboys to come 273 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: with a zone blitz. The best zone blitz can get 274 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: any young quarterback. And I think you use that very 275 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: often and you put that doubt in his head as 276 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: to whether it's going to be man to man the zone. 277 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: And I think that the way Peterson is game planning, 278 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: and McCartney talked about it as press conference today, it's 279 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: basically they've already used every quarterback run package or run 280 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: scheme that you can imagine already, and I think you're 281 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: going to see a lot of that, and that puts 282 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: the defense off balance where they can't bring it so much. 283 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: And the other thing with Hurts, and I saw this 284 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: last year when I watched him at Oklahoma, is because 285 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: he runs so effectively. When he doesn't see what's available, 286 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: what he what he wants to go with in the 287 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: passing game, he tucks it and runs it. And so 288 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: whether you use a spy against him or whatever you've got, 289 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: you've got to always be mindful that he's uh. He's 290 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: fully capable of tucking it and running with it. Hey Bill, 291 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: even though he's a decent pass it better than what 292 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: he always was at Alabama, I still think we have 293 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: controlled rushes for this guy. Just be a control of rush. 294 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: The lesser of the evils is to make him throw 295 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: the ball. Even though he's doing well and he passed 296 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: the ball well, I think you're in trouble if you 297 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: let him break containment. That will break down our defensive 298 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: backfield as it always does. I would rather pick my 299 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: poison and keep him in the pocket. Keep him in 300 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: the pocket and make him come pleat the ball, make 301 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: them start them, make them run the play they call, 302 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: don't let them improvise. There you go, no, no improvisation. 303 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: We don't do whether in the second day when someone improvises. 304 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: All right, we're just getting started on this edition of 305 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: Mixed Shots.

And here's the latest Mickey 352 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: and Everson on Dwayne Haskins. As Haskins, Washington has fined 353 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: Haskins in addition to stripping him of captain. Haskins will 354 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: not be suspended and will start against the Panthers if 355 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: Alex Smith is not good to go. Head coach Ron 356 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: Rivera says the decision on the punishment was based on 357 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: league standards. So I'm I'm wondering that deal that Washington 358 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: had with the league. I guess the league basically told 359 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: him handle it according to league standards on your own 360 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: and we'll see if the league comes down with something 361 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: at the league agrees with what Washington is doing here. 362 00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that made it different 363 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: from the Bronchos situation is, you know, there was security 364 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: video inside the Bronchos facility where the quarterbacks were all 365 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: together in a meeting without mask on, and that's what 366 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: helped cause their they'm all to go into COVID and 367 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: they wound up having to play a wide receiver at 368 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: quarterback that game. So it's okay, though, to go and 369 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: not have a mask on in a nightclub and hanging out. 370 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: I don't no, I don't know. I'm just saying that 371 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: maybe the difference and every day and I did call 372 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: it a nightclub by the way, Well someone should have 373 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: worked on the statement they released. I mean, just use 374 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: the words stripping. You know, they kind of a little 375 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: tone deft there, Right, he was stripped. Okay, I guess 376 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: you could call it a gentleman's club. Huh, yeah, that's right. 377 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never been there. I don't know 378 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: whether there's gentlemen in there. I don't I don't know 379 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: what kind of class are we dealing with, you, You 380 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, at least they had they had 381 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: Washington Football Team T shirts on I heard, oh there 382 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: you go, there you go, all right? In keeping with 383 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: the Christmas season, what would you give the Cowboys to 384 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: help them beat the Eagles on Sunday? What is it 385 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys need for Christmas in order to beat 386 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: the Eagles on Sunday? Are we talking intangibles? Are you 387 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: you talking the games? Whatever you would like, whichever way 388 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: you like to go with it. What what do the 389 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys need from Santa Claus to beat the Eagles on Sunday? 390 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys need heart, That's what they need. 391 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: So basically talked to Santa Claus. But they need some heart. 392 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: Whoever whatever saying it gets it we can take back. 393 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: Because let's think about the last times that the Cowboys 394 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia have played, especially going back to I think 395 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: that was last year when Philly came through here with 396 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: two injured tight ends and allowed both of them to 397 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: just flourish up and down the field. We almost here, 398 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 1: we are, We've got a chance to do something in 399 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: our own hands, and we just failed miserably. I've always 400 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: thought that, when it comes down to it, the Cowboys 401 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: lacked the heart to make the big plays against Philadelphia 402 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: when they've needed it throughout the past. I've been so 403 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: disappointed in that, and I'm wondering, even with giving up 404 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: the big plays that we give up defensively, even giving 405 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: up the run as we do consistently, I still want 406 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: to see somebody show some guts. I still want to 407 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: see the really the team that I've seen the last 408 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: couple of weeks as far as Okay, we may be 409 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: giving up plays, but we're gonna get the turnovers. Hell, 410 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: that was nineteen eighty one for us. Gave a plenty 411 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: of yardage, but we got We led the league in 412 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: picks more than once, you know, in those in the eighties. 413 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: So I understand that philosophy, because if you feel like 414 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: you're outmatched in regards to skiing, then the players themselves 415 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: have to take it upon themselves to make the difference. 416 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: So they need heart. Well. Against the tradition of Christmas, 417 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: it will be better to receive than give gifts on 418 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: this day, which means the reason the Cowboys, a big 419 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: reason why they've won these last couple of games, is 420 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: that they have gotten takeaways instead of giveaways. The last 421 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: two games, it's been seven takeaways and no giveaways, and 422 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: I went back and added this stuff up. After nine games, 423 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were a minus thirteen on the turnover differential, 424 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: they were two and seven. In the last five games, 425 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: they are a plus seven in the turnover differential and 426 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: they're three and two. So I don't think that's a coincidence. 427 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,719 Speaker 1: And you know, Mike McCarthy talked about it today. You know, 428 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: he said, wherever you coach the NFL college, high school, 429 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, turnovers, the side games, and with a struggling offense, 430 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: they need some gifts to have shorter fields, to be 431 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: able to score touchdowns and maybe score more than the 432 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: nine points they've scored the last two times they've played 433 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: Philadelphia because nine ain't gonna get it on Sunday. So 434 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: the biggest difference though, between now and the first time 435 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: they played the Eagles is who's playing quarterback for the Cowboys. 436 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: This time around. It has been Denucci. Last time around, 437 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: absolutely Bill. And let's remember this too. I know they 438 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: got beat twenty three to nine, but uh, with five 439 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: thirty four left in the game, it was fifteen to 440 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: nine and the Cowboys had a third and six at 441 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: the Philly twenty one yard line. Right They're going in, 442 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: they're they're ready to score. Uh and uh uh, And 443 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: so the Nucci gets sacked by t. J. Edwards, he 444 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: fumbles the balls recovered on the ground on his back 445 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: by the Philadelphia Eagles, and all of a sudden, the 446 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: ball gets ripped out and flutters back towards their goal line, 447 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden McLeod picks it up and 448 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: goes fifty three yards for a touchdown, and they did 449 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: not rule down by contact for some unknown reason, and 450 00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: suddenly anything and for some reason, sixteen seconds later, it's 451 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: now twenty one to nine. And then if you remember, 452 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys didn't move the ball, and they took the 453 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: safety on purpose to try to get an on side 454 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: kick so they can try to catch up. So it 455 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: was a ball game. Neither team was really moving the 456 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: ball there. Cowboys had four takeaways in that game, if 457 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, but I think if I remember also correctly, 458 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys ended up a plus two in that game, 459 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: so they had two giveaways. So again they were in 460 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: that ball game with Danucci starting his first NFL game 461 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: as a rookie, and when you look at the difference, 462 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: speaking of who you're starting at quarterback, you know, let's 463 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: just look at Andy Dalton. You're talking about turnovers or 464 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: lack thereof, it's because Andy's really trying to come into 465 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: his own I was looking on Twitter this this morning 466 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: and one of the post was, as you look at 467 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: this angle the Dalton to Cede Lamb play. I think 468 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: when he kind of broke out of the pocket and improvised, 469 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: that was a hell of a past, guys. I mean 470 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: he dropped that in there on a dime. And all 471 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: weekend they were talking about quarterbacks that were making these 472 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: great throws. You always got the Mahomes, You've always got 473 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: Brady and oh, guys, that's a hard throw. Just look 474 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: at it. No, none of those throws last weekend was 475 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: more difficult than the past that Dalton made on the 476 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: run to Cede Lamb on the improvisation moved. I think 477 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: he's really starting to feel himself at a great time. 478 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: He's peeking, feeling comfortable with the offense and those and 479 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: it's keeping us from compounding our mistakes. When you have 480 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: a quarterback back there that keeps things under control and 481 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: you feel like can make those passes. What about the 482 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: pass he made to Cede Lamb big time third down? Passes. 483 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that makes me feel a 484 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: little more comfortable, uh with him back there as opposed 485 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: when he first started. And you know, he threw that 486 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: ball to the CD on the big the big play 487 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: on the run, and he didn't set his feet. He 488 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: threw it off a one foot and it was perfect 489 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: because a lot of times when you're running like that, 490 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: turn right and you throw the ball, the ball's gonna 491 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: drift to the right, right and it's gonna go out 492 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: of bounds. And he threw it parallel to the line 493 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and Bill was indeed because you have to 494 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: be careful because the safety was coming over as well 495 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: over the top. So if you throw it too far 496 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: to the left, okay, over the receiver's head, safety has 497 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: a chance to make a play. Too far to the right, 498 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: he's out of bounds. He made it look much easier, 499 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: and of course CD did as well. They made that 500 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: look much easier than it really was. And it's certainly 501 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: easier to play quarterback in this league, and your stats 502 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: will wind up being better if you're playing from ahead 503 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: and your so your defense is getting the takeaways than 504 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: what happened the first half of this season. When you're 505 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: playing from behind. Dak had great stats, okay, because and 506 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: he did a great job coming back in those games. 507 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: But what you want are the stats where or you're 508 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 1: playing ahead, like like what the Cowboys had in twenty sixteen, 509 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: Dak's rookie year, when they were scoring touchdowns on the 510 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: first drives of game. It's incredible. They've gone fourteen games 511 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: now and haven't been able to score on the first 512 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: possession of a game. So that your gift in the 513 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: position we're in right now. Yeah, there's my gift. That's 514 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: my gift to the Cowboys. A touchdown on the first 515 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: drive of the game. About that. That'd be really good 516 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: if we get a score first. Oh my god, dude, 517 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna turn off the TV even without the 518 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: benefit of a takeaway. Go seventy five yards on the 519 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: first drive of the game for a touchdown and things 520 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: will be okay.

All Right, 561 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: we've got an update on the Bell dozer. He was 562 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: a misspractice today after being sent home with illness, a 563 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: source told Michael Gilkin of the Dallas Morning News. Bell 564 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: has tested negative for the coronavirus IRUs. So that is 565 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: great news that he's tested negative, but that's why he 566 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: missed practiced today, according to a source. So there's the 567 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: latest on Blake Bell. So it wasn't that he felt 568 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: really bad. Being cautious, right, Well, he has tested negative 569 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: for the coronavirus who and of course they test all 570 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: the time. But he just wasn't feeling well. And so 571 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: if you've got any any sort of illness symptoms at all, 572 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 1: I think they send you home. Yeah, that's why. That's 573 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: what I mean, That's what I mean. I'm just hoping 574 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 1: he didn't feel so bad that he had to go home. 575 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's a totally different story there. Yeah, Okay, 576 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: we've got ten minutes left here making anything else before 577 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: we make our picks to clicks that you'd like to 578 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: get to um from your notepad there from practice today 579 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: or any or anything from this week. I think I've 580 00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: I've about exhausted the mix shops. Oh one more, and 581 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm kind of kind of right about it. So you know, 582 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: Jerry keeps getting asked no matter what happens out there, 583 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: it always relates to Dak Prescott's contract. Right, So remember 584 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: remember when he first got hurt, and it was like, oh, 585 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: this is gonna affect you know, Dak, you know his contract. 586 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: And then the Cowboys started losing and it's like, oh, 587 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 1: now the price is going up because they can't win 588 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 1: without him. Well then they started winning with Andy Dalton 589 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh see they can win without him. 590 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: The price is going down. Right, Yeah, don't need him anymore. 591 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: So it just keeps vowling back and forth, back and forth. 592 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 1: And now the question on Tuesday was, now that you 593 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: see what happened in Philadelphia with Carson Wentz once he 594 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,760 Speaker 1: signed a long term deal and he's on the bench, 595 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: does that give you hesitation to sign Dak to a 596 00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: long term deal? Well, Jerry went on a three minute 597 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: rent on the fact that and basically to paraphrase it, 598 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: and I think we have a cut on it. I 599 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: don't know if Chris had it ready to go or not, 600 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: but it was pretty interesting. Ready to have anything going Now, 601 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: I don't think that, Well that's okay, that'll get us 602 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: to ten. Okay, Well, all you've got to do is 603 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: wake up in the morning or any morning and not 604 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: have any room under the cap. Wake up in the 605 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: morning and I'm not woe is me, not in these 606 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: times with the troubles and times of that America's in. 607 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: But all you've got to do is wake up. You've 608 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: spent all your credit card, which means you've extended your 609 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: player contracts out beyond that they're playing years, which is 610 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 1: a common practice to get room under the gap. Wake 611 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: up when you've spent all your credit wake up when 612 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: you don't have any money, and wake up when you 613 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: need football players now that will say, how in the 614 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: world does that happen? And then you go back and 615 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: trace what happened, and you were not responsible by extending 616 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: the amount of dollars out past the years that they 617 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: were to be valid or to be used. And that's 618 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,720 Speaker 1: called salary cap. And that's what you don't not pay 619 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 1: somebody because you don't want to pay them or they're 620 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: not a good to a great player. You do it 621 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: because you've got to manage the whole picture. And when 622 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: you see players with big contracks that aren't really heading 623 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: you in the right direction, then and in the future, 624 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: that's the price you pay. And that's when you sit 625 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: there and work and negotiate and try to get the 626 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: you know, you try to get your cap down as 627 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: much as you can. I call it the light theory. 628 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 1: When you walk out of a room, you ought to 629 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: turn the light off if there's nobody in it, because 630 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: all you're doing is keeping the light on for the 631 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: rats and the mice. There's nobody in there to see 632 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: the light, and so you turn that light off. What 633 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: you do is on every negotiation, you turn the light 634 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: off because you may not think you need that light 635 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: in that room when you can't afford it, you will 636 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: need it. There's no question you'll need it at a 637 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: certain time in the future. So you negotiate every time 638 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: you can for the benefit of having more available for 639 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: the players around the very player you're talking to. Now 640 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: that's not directed at any player, that's just a negotiation. 641 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: Now you know why the other day the lights went 642 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:58,959 Speaker 1: off in here, right, So to pair of the raise 643 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: to paraphrase what he said, and this was yeah, right, yeah, 644 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: to paraphrase what he was saying. All this stuff everybody 645 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: keeps saying that's going to affect the negotiation. The only 646 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: thing affects the negotiation is the Dallas Cowboys salary camp 647 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: and that they're not going to pay them more because 648 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 1: of something they're not going to pay them less because 649 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: of something. They're gonna negotiate a deal with DAK when 650 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: they can start in next year. That makes sense for 651 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 1: what they can afford along with affording all these other 652 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: players the Cowboys have, because you don't want to start 653 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: sacrificing Zack Martin. I can't afford Zack Martin anymore. Right, 654 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: he's too expense. I can't afford to Marcus Lawrence anymore. 655 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: I got to use all this money to pay my quarterback. 656 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: So to me, they have not changed their stance one 657 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: bit from where they were back during training camp early 658 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: in the season when they basically offered him a five year, 659 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five million dollars deal with one 660 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: hundred and ten guaranteed and fifty five million up front, 661 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: which comes to right at thirty five million a year. 662 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: And that's what all these other quarterbacks technically are getting 663 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 1: if you get past how it's being divided out because 664 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: it's addition to their previous contract. So to me, he 665 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: keeps getting asked, but he keeps talking about make sure 666 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: you turn that light off. I haven't heard that. I've 667 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: heard him say that before. Right, you got to save pennies, right, 668 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the Rats might be the media, man. 669 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: I think that's true. So anyway, and I thought the 670 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: Rats like the darkness. That's when they start right around. 671 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. All right, let's let's make our picks. 672 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: Came and it's gonna be interesting because Mickey can actually 673 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 1: pick the Cowboys to win now since they won two 674 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 1: in a row. Ever said, what are you going with? Well, 675 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: I tell you guys, you know I always go take 676 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: a securitis route to my answer. But my pick to click, 677 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to go Andy Dalton. You know, after that 678 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: pass I saw him make the CD, not just that one, 679 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: but the other one down the scenes as well. Just 680 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,439 Speaker 1: the way the wide receivers have been winning the one 681 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: on one battles, I wanted to go with one of them. 682 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 1: We were comfortable in our running game, if I'm not mistaken, 683 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 1: before we started screwing up in the last game that 684 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: we played against him. I hope they stayed within the 685 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: big penalties because that can make things a whole lot easier. 686 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 1: But I'm going with the deja vu. And Bill's gonna 687 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,439 Speaker 1: love this because his boy is involved in it. You're 688 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,320 Speaker 1: talking special teams. They're gonna have to make the difference. 689 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: I've always said this guy. Special teams can just make 690 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: things so much easier for us. They haven't been making 691 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: any mistakes. Gregg the leg's been balling, he's been kicking 692 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: the ball. Well, it's gonna be another Kmart situation, Cowboys 693 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: versus Philadelphia. The punt return game is gonna make the 694 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 1: difference this time. I was looking at Ceedee Lamb in 695 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: the last game. There was a couple of times when 696 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: he misread just how much room he had in the game, 697 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: at least twice. And you kept talking to the guys 698 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: that were holding up the ends coming down the field, like, man, 699 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,839 Speaker 1: my bad, you had him next time, blah blah blah. 700 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,240 Speaker 1: You can see they were conversing. CD's gonna be extremely 701 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: aggressive returning the ball this weekend, and I think he's 702 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 1: gonna break one, and I'm hoping that it's gonna be 703 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: the one that makes a difference in the ball game. 704 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: I picked the click as Ceedee Lamb. I got the 705 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys winning the game twenty four seventeen. All right, I 706 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 1: love it. I love it, especially on Christmas weekend. Picking 707 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: Lamb to be your uh right there, sir, alright. He 708 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 1: also all right, pastor there also has is brimming brimming 709 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: with confidence because he had the on side kick return 710 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: last week. Here's a lot of green pasture out there 711 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: for lamb. All right, Mickey, Yes, what's your pick? I'm 712 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: not gonna put a Lamb in a major or anything 713 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: like that. Okay, yeah, Bills, really he's really feeling it 714 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 1: right now. It's pick the click is gonna be DeMarcus Lawrence. 715 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 1: He's gonna have multiple sacks in this game, and suddenly 716 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,839 Speaker 1: a guy that's got five and a half is gonna 717 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 1: end up after this game with eight sacks for the season, 718 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 1: and everybody can get off his back. Cowboys twenty four, 719 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: Philadelphia twenty three. It's gonna be a close game, and 720 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: Andy don't gonna lead them downfield for the winning score 721 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: being a touchdown or a field goal, but they're gonna 722 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: win three straight and ever so, what was your pick? 723 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,839 Speaker 1: First score? Twenty four, seventeen twenty four, seventeen, twenty four, 724 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: twenty three. All right, my pick to click is a 725 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,760 Speaker 1: guy who always seems to play well against the Philadelphia Eagles. 726 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: It might be the last time I'm able to pick 727 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 1: this guy as my pick to click. I'm the president 728 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: of his fan club from before he even was drafted 729 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: by the Cowboys in twenty ten. He's getting an opportunity 730 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,879 Speaker 1: and he is going to pick off Jalen Hurts. I'm 731 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: talking about my man. Sean Lee is to pick the 732 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: Click against the Philadelphia Eagles. He is going to have 733 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: a pick in it because Jalen Hurts is prone to 734 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: untimely turnovers. It will probably be in the red zone. 735 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,959 Speaker 1: As I look into my crystal ball here, Sean Lee 736 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: is the pick the Click and the Cowboys win. Um, 737 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 1: you got twenty four twenty three and twenty four seventeen. 738 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: I'll split the difference in go twenty four twenty the 739 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: final score Cowboys win. Now the other question, does Washington 740 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:23,240 Speaker 1: beat Carolina. I think Haskins is gonna have a messed 741 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: up date. I think Teddy Bridgewater will show his even 742 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: tempered leadership. I'm speaking hard. I'm not gonna lie. I 743 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 1: think they can do I'm really pulling for them to 744 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: do it. I think Teddy b is gonna be the 745 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 1: main reason Picky. I agree with him. If my quarterback's 746 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: not smart enough to stay off, stay out of a 747 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: club like that without a mask on. I don't want 748 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: him under center for me. I'll tell you what. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 749 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: And I think I think Carolina is gonna win, and 750 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,760 Speaker 1: the biggest player the game is gonna be a stripped 751 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:05,800 Speaker 1: sack of Dwayne Haskins that will be returned for a touchdown. Interesting, 752 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: there you go, just keeping with the theme. You got 753 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: that right, Mickey got it? I got it? Okay, all right, 754 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,879 Speaker 1: all right, that doesn't We're gonna okay, We're gonna end 755 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: this with someone singing a Christmas carol ahead. It's like 756 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,399 Speaker 1: Everson cry, Satan, Everson cry as we go out with 757 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. How's that? Hey? Bill? You 758 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,760 Speaker 1: pat the pimp? The way you're talking to if you're 759 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 1: if we're singing, you're doing a solo? All right, Mary, Christmas, everybody, 760 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:47,360 Speaker 1: very little Christmas. That's right. Will see you on Sunday 761 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: and on Monday, we'll wrap it up here as the 762 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys will still be alive in the NFC East. Happy 763 00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: Holiday's Middle Christmas Boys has been a production of Dallas 764 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
