This is Mick Shot 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:20.440 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:25.160 Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:31.040 and Nicky Spagnola, And it is a Wednesday inside the 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:37.320 s WBC Mortgage studios here at the Star in Frisco, Texas. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.240 I'm in studio. Let me adjust my camera, let me 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.159 get it straight there. Okay, Mickey Spagnola and my first studio, 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:49.080 and Everson Walls is in his own personal studio, and 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.120 we got lots to talk about on this edition of 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.160 Mick Shots. First off, Mickey, how about we say hello 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.360 to Everson. Make sure Everson can hear as well. Hello, Everson, 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.480 I'm here. We don't want you to fill see you. Bill. 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.200 I can't even see Bill. We are you? Bill? You're 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.200 like you're like God speaking down a month people? Were you? 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.840 You're not on the WebEx? Where are you at? Well? 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:19.640 I'm I'm off by myself. Okay, off, but he's here. 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.920 I've got the WebEx you want to share. Yeah, he's 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.800 off by himself. My mind is going so many places 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.400 with that statement, And Nicky, this is the first time 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.280 you've been back here at the Star in a couple 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.679 of weeks. I was here yesterday. Well okay, yes, but 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.200 first and I'm glad to be back here. Did this 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.080 show yesterday, That's right, we did do a show yesterday, 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.199 And it's good to be back here and around people, 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.400 and uh, yeah, it's great. And I even got to 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.960 watch practice for the first time. And uh, this will 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.960 be three weeks, right, three weeks. And then when's the 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.200 last time the Cowboys won a game? I think there's 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:04.160 some relation there. They need me here? What position would 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.080 they need to put on the shoulder everywhere they go? 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.519 That's what you know, you know on those on those 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.880 jerseys where they had the little insignia where I think 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.480 who had was it basketball? They had chime on there 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.320 or whatever they about to put at spags fifty two? 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.680 There there you go, there you go. Vicky's the backup 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.200 kicker right now they got one. Well yeah, but he's 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:32.360 series practice squad, the backup backup. I was wondering what 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.760 that guy was doing today. He's got number one don 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.639 number one on. I don't know if I can. Why 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.640 do we have two kickers? COVID environment. Yeah, they decided 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.320 if you have sixteen what yeah, sixteen guys on the 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.160 practice squad, if one of them, you know, if Chris 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.280 Jones goes down or Zeroline goes down, you know, you 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.520 can't bring somebody in within six days, so you better 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.480 have somebody to go. So they thought that for insurance purposes, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.120 they ought to bring this guy in because he can 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.520 do all three things. I wonder if we can get 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.799 a close up of say, he's a hybrid? Is he 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.440 a hybrid? That was my next questions, a hybrid? He's 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.000 a hybrid. We're gonna get a close up of Mickey 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.600 and you can take a good look. Look, Mickey, look 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.799 at the screen over there? Oh my, what's in front 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:23.839 of your camera? Mickey? That you're a laptop. I saw 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.600 it before, but it wasn't covering up the one s 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.240 covered up there? You go. At least I don't have 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.160 a gigantic cup of tea? How you feeling there? Ever? 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.880 Saying that I can't write as bags? I'm looking at 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:40.520 your eyebrows, but that doesn't count. The only thing that counts. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.720 It's on the big I understand. I understand, all right, 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:49.360 So can you name the new punter or kicker that's 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:57.400 on the premises here or slash kicker. I don't know 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:04.720 how to hunter Niswander Swander Okay signed to the practice squad, 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.920 so he's ahead of Mickey on the depth chart. But 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:12.880 more importantly, yes, news has happened here since we last convened, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.040 and of course that would be the trade of one 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.719 Everson Griffin to the Detroit Lions. And then more news 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.960 today on the practice field. Eye witnessed reporter Mickey Spagnola 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.800 on the scene to let us know the whereabouts of 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.880 a couple of other veteran players. Yes, and even though 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.839 Mike McCarthy wouldn't answer the question during the press conference, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.039 but there was no don Terry po or no Darryl 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.880 Warlie on the practice field for at least the portion 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.600 we were watching. So I'm assuming that if they don't 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.520 get traded by the end of the day, they will 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.839 be released. So that'll be kind of in line with 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.680 what Jerry Jones said yesterday that there would be personnel 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.000 changes on the defense. So no Everson Griffin the Cowboys 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.440 trader to Detroit for a conditional draft choice. It's it's 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.520 likely a six, but can be a fifth. And then 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.480 these other two guys, if no one gives them a 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:19.560 bushel of apples, they're probably going to be released, you 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:25.640 know what I figured out? And so don Terry Poe 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:31.680 had three point five million guaranteed on his free agency contract. 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:39.360 He played two hundred and sixty six snaps, so and 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:45.039 he had nine tackles. So for nine tackles costing three 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:50.200 point five million, that ends up being four hundred and 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.839 forty four thousand dollars per tackle. Good job if you 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.919 can get it. Also it comes to yeah, but that's 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:06.680 not fair. And fifteen thousand per snap. You got to 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.159 count the double teams that he took, right, Come on, man, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.640 Well that's what he sposed to be able to do. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.440 He was supposed to hold up against double teams and 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:20.719 he got watched. You can't. How do you quantify that, Spags? 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.440 You tell me? We all I know is he had 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:29.080 nine tackles? How many did he have last year? Do 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.920 you know that? I do not got it? Well, I 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.760 don't have. You know, you're looking at the Cowboys stats 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.520 in the four games. Yeah, the Cowboys last year, which 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.880 are different than I watched him play. Typically the tackles, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.640 typically the stats the which is off the coaches film 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.440 that the Cowboys put out is a different number than 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.719 what you will see on NFL on the game stats. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.360 And that's what I took a game. Those those those 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.400 were off the game staff. The game Cowboys were nine 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.200 okay and off the game stats out the last three games, 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:11.200 right right. And last year he four Carolina eleven games, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:15.120 ten starts, he had twenty two tackles, seven tackles for 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:20.680 lost in, six quarterback hits and or pressures, and four sacks. Okay, so, 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.560 but he didn't have any of those in the four 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:28.960 games I watched. Not bad so, but he was under 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:35.640 that great this year. Hey Bill, Bill, should that tell 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:42.360 you something? Right? Uh? Worly and Poe, Yeah, Worally was 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:48.280 my pet peeve. Paul was spags pet peeve. Right. So 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.520 that means that Jerry Jones is listening to our show, right? 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:57.760 Is that what that means? Absolutely, he's listening. He's taking 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.160 out with advice, He's taking out advice. And I'll go 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.760 ahead and claim Everson Griffin as my pet peeves. So 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:07.320 there you go. I like the fact that they made 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:12.680 Everson Griffin the captain against Washington. Well, I think you 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.000 think they were trying to put an advertisement out there. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.440 I think I think that that he's a shrew move. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.880 You know what, the way Jimmy got credit for everything. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.200 If if Jimmy was coaching the team and this happened, 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.040 everyone would for years be talking about what a shrewd 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:32.160 move that was. Upping the stock of Everson Griffin making 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.000 him a captain against Washington, he played us most, he 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.679 played his most snaps in the game. He looked and 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.679 I'm an untrained eye, but he looked like he played 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.600 as well as he's played as a cowboy. As far 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.080 as being aggressive and getting after it. Yeah, I'm sack. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.400 He had a couple of tacks. I think he was 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.160 out there as what do you think just he was 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.800 out there like bait, right, I think I think as 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.400 they could exactly. I can't get anything from Pope, you 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.240 can't get anything for Worli. So if we're gonna start 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.880 dumping some things here, then you know he's got the 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.560 four Pro Bowls, got a little bit of status from 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.200 the past. I mean, no one's gotten much status going 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.400 on what they've done this year. So what are we doing? Guys? 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.360 Are we are we giving up? Are we dumping? Are 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.520 we dumping everybody. Well, no, I don't think so. I 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.920 think you know, and Mike McCarthy wouldn't admit that they 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:29.040 were sending a message, but I think you know at 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.600 progress stop when you're they're progress stoppers, that's exactly right. 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:33.880 So you might as well. If you're not going to 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.400 get anything more from those guys, you might as well 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.840 play some of the younger guys. This is the way. 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.720 The thing with Worlly too, by the way, is Cheeto's 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.960 coming back. He looked the part of practice we got 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.040 to watch today. He was running as well as I've 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:53.880 seen him run, So he's ready to come back. Progress stopper. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.480 I think they liked what they've seen from Dorance I'm strong, 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.800 and then they want to give Bradley an Eye more 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:05.080 of an opportunity and Randy Gregory coming on. So you 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.480 know when we saw on Sunday Kennedy Gregory gets six 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.000 snaps in the game, now you probably will get more. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.280 And when you have a guy like Everson Griffin on 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.720 your team, I mean he's gonna play okay, And so 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.320 if you want to give more snaps to other guys, 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.440 then something's got to give. And that's and you've got 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.520 something of value for Everson Griffin, who was on a 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.240 one year contract to start with the thing on Whorley. 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.240 I thought when they signed him, I liked the move 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.440 when they signed him because of they had the rookie 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:38.040 at cornerback, and I thought the way, the best way 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.959 maybe to bring along Digs would be You've got him 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.400 as a safeguard. Here's a guy who was a third 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.760 round pick, who has starting experience in the league, and 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:52.640 you got him as at the best he would be 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.160 either in a starting role or getting a lot of 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.480 snaps the first half of the season, and then you 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.560 hand it over to rookie. Well, they decided to go 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.559 ahead and give it to the rookie anyway, that was 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.680 a waste of time. Yeah, and they didn't anticipate using 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.520 Anthony Brown and Chitube a Woozier within the first two games, 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.840 so they had no choice to play the rookie. But 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.600 you know, if you're gonna go through growing pains, we'll 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.080 go ahead. They don't forget they also had signed another 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.120 veteran corner ban Rice Kennedy, who opted out right in 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.480 the offseason, so I think they were just covering their 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.640 bases with those signings and it wasn't for a lot 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.240 of money, and but you got to be able to 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.079 make the decision like they have to move on when 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.040 it's time to move on now. And the thing with 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.400 Poe is now, you know, you get more snaps for 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.480 Neville Gallimore, maybe you'll find out more about justin Hamilton 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:50.040 Antoine Woods will get more snaps, and we'll see what 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.960 they decide to do with Tyrone Crawford, because if you 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.520 looked at what happened this past game, they listed Tyrone 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:02.080 Crawford as the starting defensive end. So and all right, 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:06.040 here's my question for you. What defense do you think 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.040 Mike Nolan wants to run. I'm not sure, but if 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.880 Sean Lee can get back on the field, I think 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.560 they can run a four three because they would have 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:21.679 a guy that's played strong side linebacker. Or they can 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.680 put Jalen Smith on the strong side and put Lee 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.840 on the week side if they think he does it better. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.880 But I'll tell you what. I went back and looked 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.840 and I heard different things about that forty yard run 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:38.480 by Gibson. The Cowboys were in their nickel defense and 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:43.520 the Red the Redskins, the Washington's lined up with two 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.480 running backs. I got to consider mckissic a running back, 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.240 he's not a wide So they lined up with two 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.000 running backs, mckissic and Gibson. Gibson was kind of, uh 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.240 like like a slot back. That's where he lined up. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.920 They had a tight end. Well, the Cowboys are in 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.600 their nickel defense. So there's two running backs, a tight end, 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.640 and two wide receivers and you're playing nickel. And guess 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:13.920 which hole they attacked where Jordan Lewis was as the 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.360 nickel defender instead of having a linebacker there. He gets 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.320 bumped off and it wasn't a great block. He just 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.320 kind of got screened a little bit by an offensive lineman. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.040 If you had a linebacker, they're diagnosing that play. That 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:32.199 play maybe gains three yards, but no, he gets knocked off. 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:37.720 The corner gets knocked off. Vangersh took a bad angle 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.480 at it, and there was nobody there, you know, and 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.160 at some point that you got that guy that's in 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.840 the hole that's got to make the tackle and he 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.000 doesn't make the tackle. So to me, if they're gonna 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.320 play a three, if you're gonna play a four to 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.679 three against teams that want to run the ball, don't 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.480 masquerade with a defensive end standing up and having four 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.719 down lineman. Right, give me another linebacker in there. And 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.640 that's what that's the only criticism the way of four 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.600 three is designed, I mean, and and that's the way 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.760 they've what they've been running. They've been having a defensive 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:16.199 end play the sam linebacker in the four three, and 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.080 that done more and in that alignment. Think about it, 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.040 if you had a strong side linebacker, you could line 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.120 him up on the line of scrimmage. Right. They do 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.280 that a lot with a strong side linebacker, and that 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.880 doesn't give the offensive lineman running start to pick off 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:36.800 one hundred and ninety pound dB uh as what happened? 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:41.040 If that much backs real, I was gonna say one 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:47.720 give him so anyway you want, you want to plug 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.840 the hole, so you know, and and a lot of 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.720 people want to say, well, they didn't have any effort 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.560 on that, Well, they had effort that didn't have enough manpower. Well, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.720 and it was it was misdirection too, and so they 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.400 were behind vander ash We got caught behind because uh 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.280 and and so I think it was a tackle that 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.400 was able to pick him shield him off from the 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.120 play to get over to the hole, which, by the way, 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.360 there there and we talked about this, yes, and Everson 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.840 brought it up. Mike McCarthy spoke to this today. His 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.520 quote was, everything we do on defense is about our eyes. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.640 Everything I've ever done on offense was the challenge of 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.720 defender if I felt like he had bad eyes. Well, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:33.360 on that play for some reason, uh, Jalen Smith is 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.400 on the Cowboys right side at linebacker right, and he 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.800 does not see the handoff. He's taken steps to his 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.440 right while the whole flow is going to us. A 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.680 bunch of plays like that, and what's he what's he 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.560 looking at? Do you think there was going to be 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.240 a toss back? What'd you say, Bill, there's a bunch 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.480 of that. There's a bunch of a bunch of plays 0:15:54.560 --> 0:16:00.600 like that. Yeah, and ever from your linebacker, from your 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.680 from your cornerback looking inside when the guy's running a 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.360 straight nine route on you without a stutter step right, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.040 we're going inside, and it's like, what are you looking at? 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.320 This guy's coming right at you. So there's there's something 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.960 to be said about. You know, we can talk about scheme, 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.240 and we can talk about not being good enough, but 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.720 how about looking where you're supposed to look, which goes 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.960 back to what I was saying yesterday about preparation. Better 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:30.880 start watching some tape and the twelve yard touchdown run 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.000 on the and some of this stuff is not just 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.840 about tapes bag. Some of it is just just watching 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.480 a football player. Yes, that is just it. I'm sorry 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:46.320 these things have become so complicated and they just don't 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.200 need to be. So when you talk about your eyes, 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.800 eyes are not just about what happens after the ball 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.040 is snapped. Some things about recognition exactly. You know, as 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:03.200 as line as linebackers, you have to anticipate your priorities 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.040 of what's going to be the biggest thing that's going 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.040 to impact your defense versus what's going to be the 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.760 least impacted. So as the play goes on, you prioritize. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.720 I mean, this is just something goes on in your head. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.080 This is nothing you have to calculate or I have 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.840 to learn this. No, if you're playing at professional football, 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:26.280 your brain should already be able to calculate that. That's 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.600 how you get good defensive teams because you have more 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:34.680 people in tuned to what's going on pre snap and 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.639 post snap. We don't have that, so let's go to 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.879 break on this a good note. At practice today with 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:47.679 Sean Lee, okay, helmet on, you know, whatever pads they 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.080 were wearing. He was in the middle of everything. He 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.600 did his little chord work and he came over to 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.119 where the two linebackers were worked because they were in 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.000 special teams. That's what we get to watch, right So 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.399 Jalen Smith and Vander esh are over there with the 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:04.200 linebacker coaches working on some different things and they were 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.879 explaining things to him. The next thing I know, Shawn 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.840 Lee he's doing the explaining and it's like, see, that's 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.240 what they were missing. They need him on the field. 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.520 And I don't know if he plays this week, but 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.800 he was doing all the drills that I saw they 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.199 asked him to do. So that's a good sign. And 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.680 what Mike McCarthy said he was asked about Shawn Lee 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.800 and at the press conference this morning, talked about some 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.040 of that innate sense that he has that ever since 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.399 talking about that's been lacking in the linebacking corps and 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.679 also said that he's done everything except game day stuff 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.400 and so and he holds out hope that maybe it's 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:45.280 going to be up to Shawn Lee's experience dealing with 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.600 the multitude of injuries that he's had in his career. 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.199 Whether he's going to be ready to go or not, 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.680 they'll leave it up to him, and there's a chance 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.399 he might be able to play on Sunday night. We 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.840 shall see, Okay, not this Sunday for shared the next week. 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.680 Who they playing the next week? Pittsburgh. Who is Sean 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.199 Lee from Pittsburgh? That's right, think he wants to be 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.400 on the field. Mike McCarthy's from Pittsburgh. Exactly, Bye McCarthy 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.520 was to be on the field. I get steamers too, 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.159 all right?

Ever since, we've got a comment on 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:08.840 Twitter at CBS eleven Bill Jones Jackson Jones no relation 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:15.640 tweets ew is my favorite all time cornerback. Oh in't 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:19.600 that nice? You look at the smile and getting a 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.280 lot of stuff. Man, You guys just haven't been airing 0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:29.679 it on this show. Like I thought Bill had the 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:33.840 periscope going. Bill's not doing anything over there, just playing 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.760 with the stats, that's all. Yeah, all right, mickey, How 0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:40.879 about how about Zack Martin? Might we see Zack Martin back? 0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:45.000 I think it's nearly a definite that he plays on 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:49.199 Sunday Sunday night. He was in practice, fully dressed and 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:53.560 taking part in the the drills that we get to watch, 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:58.840 so he looked like a full go. I mentioned Chitubey Woozier. 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:01.960 He looks like he's ready to go. So those were 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:07.160 good signs from the guys that have been missing games. Uh, 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:11.159 Joe Looney was out there. I don't know if he's ready, 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.439 but at least he was out there with a with 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:20.120 a helmet on um. And also I mentioned Sean Lee, 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:24.040 so uh, Andy Dalton though was not out there, and 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:28.040 that was kind of a how do I say this? 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:34.479
