00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola has just returned from Ford Center where the

11
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys at practiced, and I can't wait to get that

12
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: practice report from Mickey. He has a booty full of

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: information about that's right. I saw Everson as he walked

14
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: into the Star in Frisco, and I saw the life

15
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: of a superstar, even in retirement and National Football League superstar.

16
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: He can't even go from his parking space into the

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: start without fans saying, hey, commy, commy, can I get

18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: a picture? You know, they get more and more devious

19
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: every time, you know, he calls me cumby. You know

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: he's name association, right, the former teammate, one of the

21
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: white friends from Hamilton Park. Yeah, well, speaking of Hamilton's Park.

22
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: So since this guy started on Mick Shots, he's all

23
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: over TV now too. People know he's here man last night,

24
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: last night, he's all over the TV because of the

25
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: new coach, Trey Bryant. Yes, the first African American head

26
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: coach at Berkener High School. They also they had an

27
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: African American coach when I first came to Berkener. And

28
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: you know the way the school system was, as you're

29
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: going to integrate the young kids and African American kids,

30
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: you have to have some association, so they would choose

31
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: certain educators or even coaches to make that transfer as well.

32
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: And so one of those transfers was coach John Freeman.

33
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: And he just happened to be my dad's teammate at

34
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: Preview A and M. So that puts some real undue

35
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: pressure on that. So, now, what was your association with

36
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: coach Bryant. Trey Bryant was. I played on that Berkener

37
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: squad with his father with his father, his father, Bubba

38
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Lee Bryant. His name is Lee Brian. We just called

39
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: him Bubba ly and he's passed on since. Just a

40
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: really cool dude. But he was the one that we

41
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: beat up on because he was on JV so my

42
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: one year playing in high school, he was. He was

43
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: on the practice class, you know. But this was another

44
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: instance of Hamilton Park right right right, that's exactly right,

45
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: that's right, all right. So are they sharpening in any

46
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: iron out on the practice? Sharpened a lot of iron

47
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: out on that practice field today. You know what, it

48
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: was a full practice. It wasn't like we're backing off

49
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: to get ready for the game on Sunday since it's Friday. Uh.

50
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: It was a full practice in pads. Uh. Dak was

51
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: sharp as sharp could go. Another and he was in

52
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: team and he was he was throwing the ball on

53
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: the run. He was thrown with velocity. Uh and looked

54
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: really really good. And we'll talk more about that. DeMarcus

55
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: Lawrence was back on the field in team for the

56
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: first time. Uh. And of course, you know, fresh legs,

57
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: he's off the line of scrimmage like he's just screaming, right,

58
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: So he was back out there. Uh. Malik Turner the

59
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver, full practice for the first time since he

60
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: I think it was an ankle maybe, so he was

61
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: out there. Not out there, Layton vander esh he there's

62
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: some bug going around the locker room and it's not

63
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: COVID related, you know, It's like, can can anybody get

64
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: sick these days without it being COVID? Right, And so

65
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: that's been going around and he missed and then Lele

66
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Collins walked off after the first part of practice, and

67
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: he walked off with Jim Mauer. When they went to

68
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: the sideline, the Cowboys, a head trainer h Doctor Cooper

69
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: met him and they talked to doctor Cooper and the

70
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: three of them went in and he never came back.

71
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 1: And the only thing I saw was Jim Mauer looking

72
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: at doctor Cooper and going like this. He was patting

73
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: right underneath his neck on his chest. So I don't

74
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: know if that was some indication of what the problem was,

75
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: because you remember, was it a week ago or so

76
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Lele missed a couple of practices, was a I think

77
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: it was a neck issue, so it might be the

78
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: front of his neck. I don't know, but yeah, so

79
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: he missed the majority of the team the team session,

80
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: which was uh, you know, somewhat troubling. Uh. And then

81
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: what else, Uh, zer Line. Greg Zerline kicked again and

82
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: he went eight of nine time, so much more Mickey's

83
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: approval a little bit more. I feel a little bit

84
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: better about that. And and watched thirty three through forty

85
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: nine and he missed from forty six, but he did

86
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: make forty seven and forty nine. Um. I did see

87
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: one low snap come in the ball landed flat on

88
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: the ground by the LP on speed dot H And

89
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: as usual, the one he missed a he hooked it left.

90
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter that this guy's been in the

91
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: league for a decade and been to the Pro Bowl.

92
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm just keeping an eye on that's right. So uh.

93
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: And then they finished practice with a little bit of

94
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: a walk through. They took the helmets off. I think

95
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: the pads came off too, and uh. And then afterwards

96
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: when we went out on the track to do our

97
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: socially distanced to interviews with the players. Uh, it looked

98
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: like the majority of the guys out there were the

99
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: veterans and they were doing windsprints. Look good, they're finally

100
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: starting to get in ship in shape. Right first day

101
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: of training camp, it was like it was I think

102
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: a little bit it had to do with just continuing

103
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: to acclimate to the heat. Um, which I guarantee you

104
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: that because here's the deal today, I'm sure McCarthy would

105
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: have loved to have been out in the heat again

106
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: today to get for Tampa, which is thirteen days away,

107
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: but a little bit better out there to day. But yesterday, yeah, right,

108
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: but this was a open practice that fans could come to,

109
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: and so it had to be indoors at Ford Center

110
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: for fans to be able to observe. And since the

111
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: practice started at eleven fifteen, and I think it was

112
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: it was an adult fan practice, right right. There weren't

113
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: any kids there. It was an adult crowd. And then

114
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: it's getting to and so I'm sure he would have

115
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: liked to go on and tomorrow for the walkthrough, right,

116
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: but it's indoors again, right, it's open again fans, that's right,

117
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: So there'll be some kids out tomorrow. Yeah, and they're

118
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: only going for an hour tomorrow, I think, yeah, ten fifty,

119
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: it's an hour earlier. It's if memory serves me right,

120
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: on the schedule, the practice is from ten fifteen to

121
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: eleven fifteen tomorrow because they got a clear out, that's right.

122
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Games we've got hey, Everson We've got the Jerry Jones

123
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Classic tomorrow afternoon at Ford's Center High School football Denton

124
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: Ryan versus Long View. So you go to it. That's

125
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: my people. So'd you go to it? Yeah? Both sides

126
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: of the family. All right, you'll have to come out

127
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: for the Jerry Jones Classic. Man, I'll have a lot

128
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: of people yelling coming. Well, yeah, a lot of people

129
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: do claim me. So did you go to a game

130
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: last night? I watched one on TV. Watched it on TV. Yeah,

131
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: at at and T Stadium last night. It was South

132
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: Lake Carol and Highland Park. Wow. So a nice game.

133
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: South Lake Carol smoked him. Well, you know their quarterback

134
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: quin Yours declared for the draft. He declared for for

135
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: South Lake Carol, number one quarterback recruit in the nation.

136
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: And I'm about a month ago the name, image likeness

137
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: thing that now college athletes can take advantage of high

138
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: school athletes in Texas cannot take advantage of it. And

139
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: so he has moved on to Ohio State. And so

140
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: it's a great story where he can make money, right,

141
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: And seriously, we're talking up to a million. It could

142
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: be even more now I don't know, but at the

143
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: time we're talking. He had an opportunity to make up

144
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: to a million dollars in endorsements, and he couldn't do

145
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: it here, And he couldn't do it if he wasn't

146
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: in college. And I mean, so he was in a position,

147
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah right, maybe he doesn't need to go to college.

148
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: He took, he took. He was on track to graduate,

149
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: and so he took one online class that he was

150
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: able to take in like three weeks time, got graduated

151
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: and wound up showing up late at Ohio State after

152
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: their preseason drill started. So anyway, here's a great story though.

153
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: The quarterback for South Lake Carroll Caden Anderson is his name.

154
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Coming off an ACL injury last year, he finds out

155
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: a month ago. He's a junior, big prospects six four,

156
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds. You watched him. Uh, the great story

157
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: about his father. He dedicated the game to his father.

158
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: His father passed away a year ago this week. Oh

159
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: my yeah, I mean I'm rooting so so much for

160
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: this kid. And uh he had u uh and it

161
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: was a sudden it was he had was diagnosed with

162
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: a brain tumor, and three weeks later he wasn't here.

163
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: And so and so South Lake Carol put up forty six. Okay,

164
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: but to building. Yes, in fact, their quarterback from from

165
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: last year, Braden Shager, who's a kid that Babe Laufenberg has.

166
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: He's schooled and to be a quarterback since he was

167
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: eight years old. Uh so he's good in spite of

168
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: the okay that show. Braden is at the University of

169
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: Hawaii and he is as a true freshman, just got

170
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: on campus this summer. Is the backup quarterback at AAI.

171
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: They play UCLA I think this weekend, sol uh and

172
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: we get some college football tomorrow, right, we do, right, yea,

173
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: So it's all starting. It's and ready to go. Hang

174
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: in and one of these days when we don't have

175
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: a lot going on, I got some nick shots on

176
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: that that likeness stuff. Oh right, yeah, you can educate

177
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: me even more. Yeah, you know, I'm all in. It's

178
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: going to be some serious unintended consequences for amateurs. Yeah, well,

179
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't are they still amateurs if someone's paying them?

180
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: Where did I see one of the schools that they

181
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: were the guys that are walk on that aren't on scholarship.

182
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: Somebody donated money to pick I think it's by Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

183
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: all right. Of course, Cowboys play Jacksonville on Sunday. And

184
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: earlier this week, urban Meyer said that he's going to

185
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: play his starters. He's going to start his starters. That

186
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: was when he named Trevor Lawrence as his starting quarterback.

187
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: And I saw Bruce Arians today came out and said,

188
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: and of course this is the Cowboys opponent in thirteen days.

189
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: The starters are going to play the first half of

190
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: their final preseason game against Houston. He says they need

191
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: some game snaps they need and so are they now rugly.

192
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: He also Arians also reserved the right to change two years.

193
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: He reserved the right to change his mind though too.

194
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: So sometimes that just that you're just getting the attention

195
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: to the players in practice where you got a good

196
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: couple of good practice. I think he's just trying to

197
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: get a field. Yeah, I really think he's just trying

198
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: for not just his team, but for this professional level.

199
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: He's on right, And but for a lot of teams

200
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: now it's not so much for Dallas and Tampa Bay

201
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: because they're playing the Thursday game. I mean, these games

202
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: this weekend are when you traditionally would play your dress

203
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: rehearsal game. From a calendar standpoint, two weeks away from

204
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: the first Sunday of the season, and so I think

205
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: you're going to see more teams play starters this weekend

206
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: than what you normally would see in the last preseason game.

207
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: So did you bone up on your Trevor Lawrence history.

208
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm working on it. Work, I'm working on it, yep.

209
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: All right. So, and you know there's a former Cowboy

210
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: player starting for Jacksonville, Damien Wilson. That's right, that's right,

211
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: got went to Kansas City, got on the Super Bowl ring,

212
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl the next year, and then

213
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: they parted ways. We had two former linebackers Hinton as well.

214
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: The Hitchings was right, Yeah, we got them, and then

215
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: jackson Jacksonville also had Jihad Ward. Yep, had Ward is

216
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: earning the praise of Urban Meyer. I had this press

217
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: conference some former assistant coaches on their roster, and what

218
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: did I do with my Jacksonville deal. I highlighted a

219
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: couple of guys that are coaching there, the only ones

220
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: I've looked at so far, Darryl Bevill as their offensive coordinator,

221
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: Joe Culling their defensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer as their quarterbacks

222
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: coach and pass game coordinator. And of course, uh Mike

223
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: McCarthy as a history with the Schottenheimer family. Marty he

224
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: coached with him in Kansas City. You know, Mickey here

225
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: is about Everson. He is about to interview the head

226
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: coach as soon as Mick shots is over. You know,

227
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: comes early. I think we can invite him in. And

228
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: we got a microphone and a chair right over there

229
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: for the head coach. If you can pull those strings,

230
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad so Jack Deonville's wide receivers coach, san Jay

231
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: Lyle Okay offensive line coach. And this goes way back

232
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: George Warhop he was a Cowboys offensive line coach and

233
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: the guy that Cowboys gave a chance. Former player, he

234
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: was assistant on special teams maybe two years ago. Carlos

235
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: Polk Okay is with Jacksonville. All right, So so here's

236
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: what I want to do. Since Mickey and you probably

237
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: haven't come up with your questions for the coach yet.

238
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: You probably need some help. I need some help, okay,

239
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: all right, so tweet unprepared. You can tweet me at

240
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: CB yes eleven, Bill Jones, what do you want? Maybe

241
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: Mickey will take your questions for it and take him

242
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: to the head coach. I highly doubt it, but I

243
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: offer that service up. I'll let you guys make a

244
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: suggestion here. What do you want to know? Because I

245
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: think I only got three or four minutes, that's all. Yeah,

246
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: it's it's weird because we normally would do the head

247
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: coach live during the pregame show from the stadium, and

248
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: so we taped it the last couple of times, but

249
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: it just kind of looks weird where we're all out

250
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: at the stadium and then all of a sudden, I'm

251
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: on the set interviewing Mike, and so they said, maybe

252
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: we're okay, he's on the set here at the time.

253
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: So now, the first two games it didn't look as

254
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: odd because the team was on the road. I mean,

255
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: well the Arizona game, yeah, so but yeah, so anyway,

256
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: well but we'll see. So what do you want about?

257
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: Five questions? What do you have? Five question What do

258
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: you want to know? Okay, what's your first question? So

259
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: I did this because I'm trying to prepare Mickey for it.

260
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: Probably something about his head, right, you know, something about

261
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: that for some reason, that last preseason game, you're going

262
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: to take another look at Cooper Rush. Are you going

263
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: to give him a decent opportunity with some of the

264
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: offensive lineman actually playing with him? All right? And Everson,

265
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: how would you answer that question? If I was Paul McCarthy,

266
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: I would tell him to go to him that next question,

267
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: next question, none of your business. Might ask him something

268
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: about how they've handled the outbreak of COVID. They did

269
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: get Malie Cooker. I did say that, right. I don't

270
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: know that you did. That is a very impertinent point.

271
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: He's back in pro he's back in practice today, and

272
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: then they have the pseudo walk through or whatever tomorrow

273
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: and then so he'll be playing in the game on something.

274
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: But they're still gonna have guys missing, And I'll probably

275
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: ask him, what do you think the you know, opportunity

276
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: is for the rest of the guys to get back

277
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: in time before you actually start your first game week,

278
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: which would be a week from today next Friday. You know,

279
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't have This doesn't have to be

280
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: a question. We can all look it up. But has

281
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: he ever not played his starting quarterback an entire preseason.

282
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: That's kind of unusual. I like that, it really is. Well, yeah,

283
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, everybody starts off with it last

284
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: year outside of last but everybody didn't quarterback last year,

285
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: and it didn't affect Dak because he got off to

286
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: the heck of a start, right. They were averaging thirty

287
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: two points a game those first five games. So and

288
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: then I'll probably ask him something about Dak how he's

289
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: looked in his first live team drills, which I know

290
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: the answer, he's looked awfully, awfully well, I mean today

291
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: was really sharp with some of the throws he made.

292
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: And so and maybe we answer this question because it

293
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: keeps coming up to me, so I know what the

294
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: answer should be, but it should come from him. The

295
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: question seems to be going round is do the Cowboys

296
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: have to pull back on their offense to protect Dak's

297
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: arm or are they worried about his ankle because he

298
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: hasn't done this. And my answer to that is if

299
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: they have to change the offense, like we're not going

300
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: to throw a ball past twenty yards or we're not

301
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: going to have him roll out and throw on the

302
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: run because we're worried about his ankle, then he shouldn't

303
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: be playing. You got to be able to go and

304
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore tried to emphasize that yesterday. He said, we're

305
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: going out to play football. That was his answer, and

306
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: then I think he followed, we're gonna play ball, and

307
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: that's what they should do, because if you're going to

308
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: go out there and try to put reins on him,

309
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: which you can't, right, and he wouldn't follow those directions anyway,

310
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: then he shouldn't be out there, like, you know, I'm

311
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: not going to call a bootleg because I'm worried about

312
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: him running or and you know, and and I'm sure

313
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 1: they've had the discussion about him pulling the ball down

314
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: and running, right, but I think the emphasis on that

315
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: is get what you can and go down, because that's

316
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: how he got hurt. Seven yards would have been just

317
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: fine against the John. The guy was lightweight. I mean,

318
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: he had them by twenty pounds. Probably the guy that

319
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: the guy to tackle out. It was just the way

320
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: it went down, well, and so that was the guy

321
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: wrapped his legs around his to bring him down, and

322
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: you know, he's gotta do what he's got to do

323
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: to bring him down because he's undersized, right, So he

324
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: was just a you know, he was a victim. But

325
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: now I don't need the eighth yard seven's good and

326
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: see you touched on everything that was going to ask you.

327
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: First of all, I think he needs not just him,

328
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: but the offensive line himself. They need practices like that.

329
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got to get into that rhythm. I mean,

330
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: this is the only time they have a chance to

331
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: do it. Was the first team verse first team early

332
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: in practice. It was yes, and I wrote down some

333
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: of his throws and the boy, he was right on

334
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: the money a bunch of times. They this is something

335
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: that can also kind of, uh just kind of make

336
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: him ease up a little bit in regards to how

337
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: anxious he is, because you can feel it. You can

338
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: see it on the whole shows. That's not an act.

339
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's and you could you could imagine it

340
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: wasn't like he played an entire season last year and

341
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: now he's starting off not getting to play in the preseason.

342
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean he had he missed twelve games, rights eleven games.

343
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: That is that's just you know, his blood is boiling.

344
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's basically eleven and a half games. So yeah,

345
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: I mean you got that's just you know, yeah, and

346
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: when you're the starting quarterback and now you're making this money,

347
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: you're feeling this, you're feeling that. So many different variables

348
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: in regards that why these practices. I think he needs

349
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: them more than anyone. But I think the entire I

350
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: think more the offense mostly they need this as far

351
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: as the line and Zeke himself, you know, and maybe

352
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: the concession they make. I would think early in the game,

353
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: just let him have a couple easy completions, maybe a

354
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: little out, uh, you know, a little five yard ten

355
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: yard pattern, dumped the ball to Zeke, you know, first place. Yeah,

356
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: we'll show you right, everybody back up. Nothing wrong with

357
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: my arm, that's right. So I see no concessions. Yeah,

358
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: but I would think just the just the first game

359
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: when you haven't played, just to get his confidence read. Well,

360
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: well you've got the sssions, but you got Zeke back here. Yeah.

361
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: So and you've got this offensive line who's raring to

362
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: go forward. So I mean, you're gonna be what you're

363
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna be. You're gonna be that same team that you're

364
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: intended to be two years ago, and of course even

365
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: last year when Zeke wasn't having such a great year

366
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: before dad got hurt. So, speaking of Zeke type, how

367
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: about if we speak of Zeke when we come back

368
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,919

416
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: when I text with him, it's a green bubble, it's

417

Speaker 1: not a bloom bubble. That's why I know I'm identified. Right.

418
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: But he was reading it off his phone and he

419
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: wasn't sure he'd be able to come through, and it

420
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: was his best read of the year. Let's give credit

424
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: the back, right, Yeah. Do you know what your prescription is? Negative?

425
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: What I don't because Chiquon Hardy said it was fifty

426
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: which is but he meant to say negative two point five. Oh,

427
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, he says two fifty and I'm gonna

428
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: do that's why, that's why, that's why he's by the way,

429
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: he got interviewed again, That's what I'm saying. He got

430
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: interviewed and so he re spects. Is that what they're called.

431
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I think that's what the name of

432
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: him mark Yeah, um, and his his nickname is one

433
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: and one right, yeah, because of one. Yeah. Yeah, he's

434
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: like the first person I've ever saved one and one.

435
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: We're going to get a heavy dose of one and

436
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: one on Sunday right between him and yeah we got

437
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: one and one. He kind of saved himself on the

438
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: last drive Hardy did or Knox one and one? Okay

439
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: Hardy hard Yeah. May he was having trouble catching the ball,

440
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: having trouble doing everything. Yeah. He's not very big, not

441
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 1: at all. And I don't think we spoke of Knox

442
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Did we speak of Knox? One? We mentioned him,

443
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: but because because I mention myself and I couldn't remember

444
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: his name, and then there he was on the show.

445
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: But we didn't even include him in regards to candidates

446
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: for so at least Knox is five eleven two twenty

447
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: three from Marshall, Jaquan Hardy five eight to fifty from Tiffin.

448
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah he looks five eight. Let's just what about los

449
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: anele gravity? Is that? Yeah? Because no, he had because

450
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: he looked like he had pretty big size. Yeah new

451
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: house like yeah, maybe not quite a new house. So anyway,

452
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: and no one. That kind of leads us to our

453
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: running backs, right, that's exactly right. And um, and by

454
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: the way, Hardy from Tiffin University there, which is a

455
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: school that has produced a Pro Bowl running back in

456

Speaker 1: the past, believe it or not, Tiffin. This was like

457
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: five years ago. Who was that talk to him? Chris

458
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: Ivory from Tiffin University. I wonder if he was on

459
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: that because if I remember correctly, I think LSU played

460
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: Tiffin one year as one of their non conference games.

461
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: That's typical of the SEC. And then maybe Ivory was

462
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: like crambling or something like that. That's what that's what

463
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to moving to the SEC. Maybe we

464
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: get to start conference games. Yeah. Um, they hung with

465
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: them for about a quarter in the people in the stadium,

466
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: We're getting a little bit nervous, all right, so yes,

467
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: he set up Zeke. Yes, the Cowboys restructured his contract,

468
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: and for beb people understand what they did and why

469
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: they did it. They converted eight point six million of

470
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: his nine point six million dollars base salary into a

471
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: restructure bonus. So the reason they do that is to

472
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: lower his cap hit for this year, which cleared six

473
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: point eight million off the cap. And they take the

474
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: bonus that they give them and they divided out over

475
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: the length of his contract, So they divide eight point

476
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: six by five and it comes to adding one point

477
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: seven two million each year for five years, so it

478
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: doesn't like add years. Everybody's like, oh, we got him

479
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: for this or that. Well, the thing it did was

480
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: killed this perception that the Cowboys were ready to get

481
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: rid of them, right, I didn't know that perception was out.

482
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah it was. You don't listen to sports talk,

483
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: right yeah. And then that's why I'm spot you do

484
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: your own spirit radio. And here's the real reason that

485
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: they created some cap space for this year. Okay, now

486
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: he's going to start with the fans first came right, Okay,

487
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: who's the quarterback that you want the backup? Quarterback. You

488
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: want the backup quarterback. You were talking the other day

489
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: about Nick Foles. Nick Foles, okay, so that clear space

490
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: because he said eight meal dead money. I think you

491
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: said something like a lot of more more than that.

492
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: But he's making like eight a year though, right, eight

493
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: meal a year. Oh no, No, the big question came

494
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: out they were going to trade for stuff on Gilmour Yeah, okay,

495
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, that's not going to cover his

496
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: base salary, by the way. But anyway, so so again

497
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: the reason they did this some cornerback, why would you

498
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: pay that much for right? Right, they only had five million.

499
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: It was just a bit more than five million in

500
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: cap space, which really is not enough to finish out

501
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: a season. Because you got sixteen guys that are going

502
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: to be on your practice squad, you got to pay

503
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: them their minimum for now eighteen weeks. That takes up

504
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: a pretty big chunk. That'll be a couple of million dollars.

505
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: You have to make sure you have enough in reserve

506
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: that when guys go on IR you still got to

507
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: pay their salary and you got to replace them on

508
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: the fifty three. So now somebody's going to make more money.

509
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: So from an operating standpoint, they like to keep eight

510
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: to ten million available to get through the season. So

511
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: this now gives them twelve million available under the cap,

512
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: which will get them through this year. And if you

513
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: don't have to use it all, you can roll it

514
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: over to next year. And you've got a couple of

515
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: guys that you need to would like to resign, You

516
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: don't know if you can afford to resign them, but

517
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: if you add that to your salary cap next year,

518
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: you got a chance at maybe Michael Gallup, or you

519
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: got a chance at Layton Vanderish. And the other thing

520
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: is you can use a restructure mini contract and they

521
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: can still do a couple more if they need to

522
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: and if they want to. But the thing that you

523
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: don't want to do is add years to the contract,

524
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: and that's not what they did. So Zeke gets basically

525
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: instead of having to work for his money this year,

526
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: he gets a check for eight point six million right

527
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: off the bat Garonte. Yeah, and his base salary was

528
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: guaranteed this year, and it's guaranteed already next year because

529
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: the guarantee was if he was on the fifty on

530
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: your ninety man roster five days into this league year,

531
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: it guaranteed next year. So that's what the new deal

532
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: is all the time. Now the smart agents they're making

533
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: sure the next year is guaranteed this year, so you

534
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: don't get into your last year of your contract, which

535
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: is what happened to the cornerback at Miami um Zavian Howard.

536
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: His guarantees were running out this year, so it didn't

537
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: matter what his base salary was next year, it wasn't guaranteed.

538
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: So his agent really made a mistake because the Mahomes

539
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: contracts started this where you it's it's evolving, right, this

540
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: year covers next year, next year covers the year after

541
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: that on guarantees. So stuck, but they redid his contry.

542
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: They did, and that's why he said he was underappreciated.

543
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: You know. It was like Byron Jones was making more.

544
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah he had thirteen years, was eleven and give me

545
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: a break. But what he was worried about was the

546
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: next year because he had a big under appreciate. So

547
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: when you sign that contract, you ought to look at

548
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: that stuff and don't get into a point where the

549
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: guarantees run out and then next year's base salaries like

550
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: sixteen million. Because if anything happens you don't have a

551
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: good year or you get hurt. They would, they would

552
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: get out of it for no dead money. That means

553
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: that Zeke is gonna carry the heck out of that ball.

554
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this season, he's gonna earn his key. They

555
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: might keep it, keep him in on more at at

556
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: all of the all of twenty six years old too,

557
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: by the way, twenty six he got here at twenty.

558
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a good year. Yes, he's gonna have

559
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: a good year. I truly believe he's gonna have a

560
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: good year. That's gonna take a load off of everyone.

561
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's uh, that's report, that's the Zeke report.

562
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: So the why they did it as far as this

563
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: year's salary cap has nothing to do with going out

564
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: and purchasing a high dollar back back up, better back back,

565
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: you know what. The thing we forgot. The still could

566
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: do if they can, if they can get a deal

567
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: like they did last year with Dalton, where it was

568
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: it was three million base and the rest of it,

569
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: that's nocent of you would pay the next year. You

570
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: could do that. Yeah, but actually it does given the

571
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: option now of doing that, because as you pointed, out.

572
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: You need operating cap space, right because you're gonna have injuries.

573
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: You're gonna have back and forth flow from the you know,

574
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: guys get hurt and you got to replace it. Even

575
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: with minimum wage guys, you got to have enough to

576
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: operate and the cap that I'm sorry, and the cap

577
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: right now is just the top fifty one. So now

578
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: you got to add two more base salaries or two

579
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: more salary cap hits to it. He back fingers cross cowboys.

580
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: My sign a former Texas high school quarterback, and Bill

581
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: would be the happiest in the world. He can just

582
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: spouse all kind of can they bring in about it?

583
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: What's the guy's name? Yours? Yours? That's right, bring him in? Now?

584
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: Why is it? Go go to um? And you factor

585
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: in the practice squad on that test I injured reserve

586
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: and everything because the salary is the weekly salary for

587
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: the practice squad guys. That's gone up. UM. So yeah,

588
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta make sure you have enough operating

589
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: capital to get through the season. I mean, you just

590
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: factor and let's in the past, it's been like seventy

591
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: five grand for the the the annual compensation for a

592
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: practice squad player over seventeen weeks. I mean even if

593
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: you just factor and some get more than that because

594
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: they want to make sure they don't get picked off

595
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: by another try to get picked off. Hey, let's let's

596
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: just average it out at one hundred thousand for each other. Yeah,

597
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean there's six to sixteen man practice squad, and

598
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: you have some veteran guys who will be making more

599
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: on the practice squad because there's some competition going on

600
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: that they want to have that guy in reserve. Well

601
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: that's one point six million dollars right there for just

602
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: for your practice squad that you need. Yeah. Absolutely, So

603
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: it takes up. And by the way, so we talk

604
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: about this backup quarterback thing, and you know the Cowboys

605
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: they got lucky, but Cooper Rush wasn't the backup quarterback

606
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: here twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, and twenty nineteen, by the way,

607
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: so somebody trusted him. Now, he only had to throw

608
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: three passes over three years, right, and I think all

609
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: three of them came in twenty seventeen. He was one

610
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: for three, but he had been their backup quarterback, and

611
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: you know, the previous regime thought, okay, well he's our guy.

612
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. But this is going to

613
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: be a significant game for him. He's gonna have to

614
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: come out and he's gonna have to duplicate what he

615
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: did last Saturday. I'm not saying he's got to throw

616
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes, but he's got to show that he's comfortable,

617
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: that he can run the operation, get the plays in

618
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: and out, and you know, bit, Mike's big on Cadence

619
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: and you know, make sure as Cadence is right and

620
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: just feel comfortable running the offense. I like, he just

621
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: looks strong in the pocket. He looks stronger than Gilbert.

622
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: He looks stronger than his feet are quiet. Does that

623
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 1: make sense? Well, he's not like that's good. That means

624
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: he's that's my hercue jerky, wait, that's that's my was

625
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: that the left hand of the right hand back, that's

626
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: that's my young young dig right? That was a no

627
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: handed quarterback. But now he looked he just looked bigger.

628
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: He looked like he was more in control. And like

629
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: you said, you can tell about the footwork, how comfortable

630
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: you are. That means you know exactly where you're going.

631
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: Your progressions are as timely as your throws. And that's

632
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: what you want. You want you want to make sure

633
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: that timeliness is there. And that's why I think that

634
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you know, Tyrn Smith, I think also

635
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: wasn't out there for much. I think he had the

636
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: bug too. Okay, but you know, you probably got to

637
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: have Beyondish at center. Um, you're gonna have Connor McGovern

638
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: at one guard because you Williams love to have Connor Williams.

639
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: But he's probably still out with on the COVID list.

640
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, as much as support you can give him,

641
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: put it out there. Chance Tampa is going to bring it.

642
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: That D line, well, the fund seven is amazing, right,

643
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: they are just amazing. So we need to be prepared.

644
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean we need to be at our best, not

645
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: just physically, but ready to make this happen. In Tampa.

646
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: By the way, they added to their defensive line in

647
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: the draft. Their first draft pick thirty one or two

648
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: overall was Joe Tryon and who's an edge rusher as well.

649
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: He's got some good reports this preseason. So that's why

650
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 1: that's why that backup tackle position is so important because

651
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: it's roomed this offense for last three or four years. Right,

652
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: they didn't have anybody they can step in and just yeah,

653
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: and we saw that. We saw when everybody talks about

654
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: Tampa's defense, Oh yeah, they tore Mahomes up. No, that

655
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: offensive line was yeah, he had no time, which is

656
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: why they spent so much this offseason on getting that

657
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City offensive line back in shape. Yeah. Yeah, absolute players.

658
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: So I'll be interested in how they're gonna how they're

659
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna play it. But they started off with the backup

660
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: tackles being tying the Secky left and Terrence Steele right.

661
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: But these last two weeks, it's been Terrence Steele left

662
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: tying the Secky right. And if we've watched the games,

663
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: the secki is struggled, it hasn't been. And then at

664
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: times Terren Steele gets overpowered steel but he's better, you know,

665
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: last year, but rookie free agent undrafted from Texas Texas Tech,

666
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, and he just wasn't strong enough. And so

667
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: they finally said, Okay, we can't do this anymore. Zack Martin,

668
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: you're you're the right tackle, and we'll put Connor McGovern

669
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: at right guard. Well to me, if that happens again,

670
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: and whoever that guy is struggles Zack Martin's out there

671
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: this time. This time they would do it less because

672
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: they have confidence in Connor McGovern that he's ready to

673
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: play in the NFL and he's had a good training camp.

674
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: So if if my right guard, if my right guard

675
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: is better than my backup left tackle, then I think

676
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: you got to make that move right. The key word

677
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: there is better. Yeah, that's it. Okay, So how does

678
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: what we've seen this past week with a little COVID

679
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: issues here on the team, how does it affect their

680
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: cutdown date at a position group? Their cutdowns at a

681
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: position group like offensive line, where you need to make

682
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: sure that and for teams across the league in fact,

683
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, you can have a guy on a

684
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: practice squad that you can call up, but especially at

685
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: offensive tackle, they're just aren't very many offensive tackles in

686
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: this league. And I was looking at don't you have

687
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: to keep two offensive tackles on your fifty three? Absolutely?

688
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: And every team in the league is going to be

689
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: doing both of those guys. They got to keep both

690
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: of them right. And now with the Connor Williams thing

691
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: up in the air, like they were going to force

692
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: it that he was going to be the backup center. Well,

693
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: the only other guy on this team that has snapped

694
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: the ball last year even in college was their seventh

695
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: round pick Mac Forniac. So I think they got to

696
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: keep him because without without Williams, he's the next guy,

697
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: and he's the guy that's been taking the snaps on

698
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: the second team. So you might so you're looking at

699
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: You're looking at as it stands right now, assuming they

700
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: don't make a trade for you know, they do have

701
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: some positions of strength where they could swing a trade

702
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: and get a backup tackle um. But you're so you're

703
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: looking at outside of the starters Steal Inseccy, Brandon, Knight,

704
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: and Farniac right right, McGovern and McGovern. So you got

705
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: that ten night. That's oftensive linemen, and that's usually what

706
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: you would like to do. And then you keep your

707
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: eye on the waiver wire. But you know what, I've

708
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: been watching the cuts. Not a lot of guys that

709
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: you would recognize their name at tackle get released. How

710
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: many tash we have within the entire group, you would

711
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: have that three back nights play tackle before and you

712
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: got the other two Insecky in steel and then of

713
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: course Zach Martin can slide out right, So I think, yeah,

714
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: that's going to fortune you. And now the other thing

715
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: is when you put guys on the COVID list, um,

716
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: they don't count against your fifty three if they're still

717
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: on it. So you would buy yourself some time if

718
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: indeed that took place. But I would think, just judging

719
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: from the way this thing's going, by next Friday, these

720
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: guys should be cleared, uh and and ready to go.

721
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the Cowboys are darn well hoping they are.

722
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: And Josh ball the fourth round and then you got

723
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: to decide what you're gonna do with him, because he's

724
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: the guy that should have been challenging for that swing.

725
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: He started his college career at Florida State and then

726
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: he wound up having a transfer to Marshall. Marshall Yeah

727
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: and fourth round direct. Yeah, But we didn't see him

728
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: at all in the preseason. We saw him the first

729
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: week and a half maybe a training camp, and that

730
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: he suffered a high ankle spring and so I just

731
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: saw him finally back like out at practice and t

732
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: shirt and shorts and he was starting to do some

733
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: cord things. So maybe, so my question is on that, Okay,

734
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: it is a long season two. So he's gonna unless

735
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: unless you're gonna place him on IR and he's out

736
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: for the year. But you keep right, but you have

737
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: to but you have to be on the fifty three

738
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: the first day. No, No, to get back. No, I'm

739
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: not not. Yes unless you unless you just want to

740
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: make it a red shirt year for him and you

741
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: put him on IR for the whole year and you

742
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: can't bring him back. He's we don't want to do that,

743
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: considering the fact he could be your guy in the

744
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 1: second half of the year. If that who is your

745
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: you're left it might try down to keeping Ball or

746
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: keeping Brandon Knight. If you're only going to keep ten,

747
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: you would because because um forniac has worked at guard

748
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: but he did and that could be one of the

749
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: classic cases. Or Insecky But for that matter, right where,

750
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: here's what you do. Yes, you keep Ball on the

751
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: fifty three, you cut the veteran guy. Okay uh, and

752
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: then the next day you put Ball on IR. You

753
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: can bring him back at some point in the season.

754
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: You resigned Insecki and then Brandon Knight needs to learn

755
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: how they snapped the ball if he could. Yes, so no,

756
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: and they've done that before. Remember it was ah, I

757
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: forgot what year it was. They did that with Kellen Moore. Okay,

758
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: they cut him and then because he was a vested

759
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: veteran and he didn't have to go through waivers and

760
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: they told him, don't go anywhere. We're gonna resign you. Yeah,

761
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, and you got to I guess you got

762
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: to have a level of trust there. What was the

763
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: what was the what was the limit? Give me the

764
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: time frame where he was vulnerable twenty four hours? Twenty

765
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: four hours. But but as far as the veteran, uh,

766
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: having your your veteran contract, Oh, guaranteed it's the first

767
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: week of the season. But if you're on that first week.

768
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, they could do that with Inseci uh and

769
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: and not guarantee his one year deal and just tell him, Okay,

770
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: we're going to bring you back. Now. Who knows, somebody's

771
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: really desperate. They might yeah, they're gonna be there watching why.

772
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: They might say, well, i'll pay you three million dollars

773
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: a year. Yeah, so you have to risk there. Yeah,

774
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: for sure, the Cowboys knew Kellen Moore wasn't going anywhere.

775
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: He wanted to be here, but they they did pull

776
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: that off that one year and you can do it,

777
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: but you gotta be because it had to be you know,

778
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: in order to do that, you have to feel really

779
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: good about Terryn Steel that first week, right, Okay? Uh

780
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: and um, especially now we've got to figure out what's

781
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: wrong with reports it was a stinger. A stinger, yeah,

782
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: but if you're having recurrent stingers that can be an

783
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: issue too. You know, Well, that just lets you know

784
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: what they were. They were going at it, right, I mean,

785
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: they were just going pretty hard. I think that happened

786
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: in in some of that two on two pass rush

787
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: drill because he was out there to start and then

788
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: cow intense was that walked home? Yeah, because those drills

789
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: are more intense than the team drills. Hey, we're playing

790
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:06,959
Speaker 1: football ball the day, all right. We take a break

791
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: and hopefully Mickey can be around for the rest of

792
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: his show and Mike McCarthy doesn't show up for his

793
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,759

850
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: Gary Jackie Flash asked a question on Twitter of Mickey.

851
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: Was Cedric Wilson's catch for twenty one yards the best

852
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: dak pass and eleven men drill today? It absolutely was,

853
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 1: And it was a heck of a catch by Cedric Wilson. Two.

854
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: By the way, it was top end cut, deep endcut,

855
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: it was. He was coming, if I remember, kind of

856
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: across the back of the end zone and he hit

857
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: a right at the end line and Wilson went up

858
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: and made the catch and Tiptoe number one did it,

859
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: which I told you. He explained. He explained his number

860
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: change from eleven to one, and they asked him about it,

861
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: and he said, well, when I saw him draft Michael Parsons,

862
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: I knew eleven was probably his choice and he goes in.

863
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: By the way, my number in college was one. So everything, yeah, tried,

864
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: he probably probably one was available. It was a kick,

865
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: was it the kicker? Kicker number one? Remember somebody had

866
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: one lifetime when it wasn't those weren't available because remember

867
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 1: they changed the number. Desmas. Yeah, I was going to

868
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: ask what was the deepest pass thrown by Dad in

869
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: the drill? He threw a nine route, threw a n

870
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: and he did yesterday or two days ago, right on

871
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: the button to Dove Shelts both uh yeah, Shelts running

872
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: the nine. Yeah. Well he was down fielding one to nine.

873
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: But that was the deepest past like sea route I'd

874
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: seen him throw getting down the field man. Yeah, and

875
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: jar one had a couple of catches for him today,

876
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's my dude. Jarwin is my day. I

877
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: can't wait to see him come back. His injury was

878
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: extremely devastating from the team as well, and they'll use

879
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: that too tight end, which, by the way, if it

880
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: was if we want to go back to having to

881
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: use a swing tackle, let's just go too tight ends

882
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: and give that guy some help. Now, I always had

883
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: concerns about the blocking in Jarwin's case, especially, Yeah, I

884
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: wonder if he's gotten bad. I know he probably hadn't

885
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: been paying attention, but you know, I know he's no

886
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: winning and we go out to tackling but blocking, they're blocking,

887
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: but they're gonna need uh, they're gonna need him to

888
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: stick his head in there. And he just a few

889
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: bad penalties. I think two years ago they really kind

890
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: of heard this. Yeah, I think it became a proved

891
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: on that and then Schultz is probably a little bit

892
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: better block. Actually, they really like McEwan as that third guy.

893
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: But that's another guy Bill. You know, it's like, can

894
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: you get him on the fifty three because you would

895
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: like three tight ends, but that high ankle sprain, he's

896
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: probably not ready in two weeks. That's interesting get tied

897
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 1: end because you got a guy like Jeremy Sprinkle who's

898
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: been with Washington for several years, a veteran guy. Could

899
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: that be another one of those situations? You know what,

900
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: we saw a snap the other day that they used

901
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: a tackle when they wanted to go two tight ends.

902
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: So you can always do that, and the tight end

903
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: thing ties into your fullback from our gyle, you know,

904
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: Nick Ralston, can you keep three tight ends and a fullback?

905
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: Or can you keep four tight ends and no fullback?

906
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: So that's running back? You're down doubtle now, and so

907
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: will these other guys step up to make a yeah?

908
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: Or do you scan the waiver wire on the running

909
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: back position and way what's on the waiver wire against

910
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: hardy and knocks and so, I mean, it's possible. On Tuesday,

911
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: it's possible they would just have They could on Tuesday

912
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: has have two running backs that are on the final

913
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: on the fifty three, not fullbacks, and and I'm including fullbacks.

914
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: They could have just Zeke and Tony Pollard. Not with

915
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: the intention they're going into game day with just that,

916
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 1: you know, or game week with just that. The next

917
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: day they make their adjustments with who they got a

918
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: place on ir opens up a spot where you bring

919
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:44,240
Speaker 1: back to fullback, you get the running back or whatever

920
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: there's but every team in the league is going through

921
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: the same yes, juggling act. So who was one last year?

922
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: M or was there a one nice wander? Nice winder? Yeah?

923
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: I was right the punter, Yeah, hunter the punter. So

924
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 1: can we all agree that Amari Cooper is the man? Yes,

925
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: he is the man. Freaking amazing dude, he is amazing.

926
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean this guy, I called him Allen Ivers. He's

927
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: just yeah, And I know I'm stepping on some some

928
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: old u toes Ceedee Lamb could learn a lot from him,

929
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:22,280
Speaker 1: and you could learn from because one thing I noticed

930
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: about they start talking different techniques, and you could see

931
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: the difference in a lot of Ceedee Lamb's Twitter and videos.

932
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: He likes to approach you straight up. He never takes

933
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: a side. It's almost as if he waits for you

934
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: to commit and then he goes. But he's waiting for you,

935
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 1: as a defensive back to commit. With Cooper, he always

936
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: attacks at an angle, don't matter what, never straight up,

937
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: and he creates that with his footwork. I'm very happy

938
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: you brought that up. Here in the last five minutes

939
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: the show, because the playmate, Michael Irvin is going to

940
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: be in the broadcast booth on Very Good at noon,

941
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 1: and he actually has worked with the Jacksonville receivers during

942
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: training camps or the offseason. But you know, they've got

943
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,959
Speaker 1: one kid from DeSoto, Leavisca Chenalt, who was a second

944
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: round draft pick last year. But I'm gonna make sure

945
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: that we dive into that very stuff with Michael about

946
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 1: Cooper and Lamb. What can Lamb learn from Cooper and

947
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: so forth, and then and tell him Michael that I said,

948
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: hopefully he can make a noon start. Yeah, having to

949
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: start back working out, he's getting a little thickish. Well,

950
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: he's flying around the country. Yeah yeah, I mean he's

951
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: he's got a lot off. That'll be a good one

952
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: because if you watched Hard Knocks with Cooper trying to

953
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: show Lamb the footwork and he kept and it was

954
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: his after his first practice in teams and he said,

955
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: I got to get my feet right, and that's that's

956
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: his big deal, which is I'm glad you also said

957
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: that because I'm so tired of everybody going well, I

958
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: don't think the Cowboys can Afford, Gallop and Cooper, and

959
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: they might have to get rid of Cooper. It's like,

960
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 1: why would you get rid of the guy that caught

961
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: ninety two pass from from like three different quarterbacks? Who

962
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at the start, let's I'm

963
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: never It's like, I know, we cost twenty million a year,

964
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: but that's the price to pay for a guy that

965
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: can catch ninety two passes for career high. Yes, his

966
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: career high. I've got a question for you to ask

967
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: the coach. What's that? Ask him? Um, if there's somebody

968
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,439
Speaker 1: on this roster who he thought didn't have a chance

969
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: of a chance of making the fifty three, who's gonna

970
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: make the fifty three? What was his response? Again, I

971
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: can't remember. This is a joke, right, I'm laughing. It's like, Mike,

972
00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: let's try this one again. That's why they treat your

973
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: reporters like that. Yeah, well, I mean that would be

974
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: a great question, the best questions. There's no way they're

975
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: going to answer, right, Yeah, exactly. But he just wasn't

976
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: talking about this one. So we're doing this again next Tuesday,

977
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: which is the cutdown day, and clock we might have

978
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: to petition to go a little extra, So we're going

979
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: from two to three on Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Thursday, two

980
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: to three. Are we doing this alternating until the season starts.

981
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,439
Speaker 1: They're going to read so then after Labor Day, which

982
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: will be well, labor day will be nearly game day. Yeah,

983
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: so we figure out we're readjusting. Yeah, well, I think

984
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: we're We've got Tuesday of that week, okay, and I

985

00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: going to the game show that has not been determined.

00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: I am going to the game. You are, so hey,

988
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to Tampa. You have to and I got

989
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: to back your buy three o'clock on Friday to do

990
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: a coaching show. You gotta you gotta fly there on

991
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: your own or no, on with a tan and let

992
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: us Yeah right at all. Let's just be clear about

993
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: So what were my questions for Mike? Tell me review?

994
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: What do you say? How many times has se uh

995
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: not played the quarterback the entire preseason? That's right, other

996
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: than other than last other than last year? And you

997
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: have one bill? What was what was the first one?

998
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: That was the first one? I don't remember what it was.

999
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: I like the fifty I'm stuck on my fifty three minute,

1000
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: we were going to talk about Cooper Rush. Damn, there

1001
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: you go. What what he needs to show up? One last,

1002
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: one last thing? Do they need another practice such as

1003
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: these last two going into the last week of preseason. So,

1004
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: in fact, since they're playing Sunday, I bet Monday in

1005
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Tuesday are off days because you don't want to get

1006
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: anybody hurt that you're gonna cut, right, and you may

1007
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: try to wait till the last minute to cut guys

1008
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: because you want to get hope they get through waivers

1009
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: and sign them to the practice squad the next day.

1010
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: Well and think, yeah, and think about this, what do

1011
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: you what did we normally see teams do when they

1012
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: played their last preseason game on the Thursday, and then

1013
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: you're going into game week on Monday. You would give

1014
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: them three days off. So so let's say you gave

1015
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: them off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, which would be like the

1016
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: old Friday, Saturday, Sunday, come in Thursday, come in Thursday,

1017
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: and get them out there on the field doing stuff whatever. Right,

1018
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: and then Friday is like a Monday, right, and so

1019
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: and Saturday is like a Tuesday. And then maybe you

1020
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: pract so one of those two days is a day off, right,

1021
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: and then and then and then went and then your

1022
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: startup your game week is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. And then

1023
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: what's the pace? Then what's the pace? Oh, I have

1024
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: to practice pace? You could do you get another one

1025
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: of those? I think. I think it will depend on

1026
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: if he thinks they need to put the pads on,

1027
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: because you remember, you only get so many padded practices

1028
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: a year. Start it starts the game week one, game

1029
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: week one, so it would start next Friday, right, So

1030
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: whatever you do that first week, if you put the

1031
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: pads on, that's one I think it was. And then

1032
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: once again eleven thirteen, it was not just the rules,

1033
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: but all you're gonna overdo it. Yeah, you know what

1034
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You got to make sure underneath right right,

1035
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean, of course got the bid. Something happened up man,

1036
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: what are you doing practicing? That's hard? You know how

1037
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: we are we right hindsight twenty twenty. So yeah, absolutely,

1038
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: that is something you just always have in the back

1039
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: of your mind. Let me tell you something. Heat is

1040
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: not going to be a problem for this team getting

1041
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: ready to play in Tampa. Heat's not gonna be a

1042
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: problem it's gonna be plenty hot here next week. Yeah.

1043
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: They continued to be exactly very hut tried next week,

1044
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, not too many days off then maybe, or

1045
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: at least get them out there running, you know, if

1046
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: nothing else, and do your walk throughs outdoors so they're

1047
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: they're used to the heat now. The humidity is a

1048
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 1: different thing in Tampa. Yep. Yeah, I mean it's been

1049
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: bad here, but I would think it's suffocating there. It

1050
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: could and it could get worse with Ida on the way.

1051
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,479
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Hurricane Ida hitting a New Orleans area

1052
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning out here. So just to be clear, yes, Tuesday,

1053
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: two o'clock Tuesday, that's the plan. Yes to three pulls

1054
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: to three plus unless we push it back to two thirty,

1055
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: but I'm sure at three o'clock they'll announce the cuts.

1056
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: All right. So that does it for this edition of

1057
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: Mixed Shots. Can't wait to see count Down to Kickoff
