All right. There was 25 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: an alarming site. I think an encouraging site, but it 26 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: might be alarming to son some that when I walked 27 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: into the Star today I saw football players on an 28 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: outdoor practice field. Ooh, that's a miracle night and with 29 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: and with pads on. All right, that was the first 30 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: question Everson had for me. And that's a great place 31 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: to start. Yes, it is. So the padded practices, the 32 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: amount of padded practices they can have. Does it start 33 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: over again once the postseason starts? Maybe you get one 34 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: a week. I think that's what I'm thinking. You come 35 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: on with spags. You gotta do better than that. Man. 36 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 1: I could have said that that BA, even even if 37 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: you're not sure, Mickey, Yeah, you're supposed you're supposed to 38 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: say yes, they get one more each week. If I'm 39 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: not mistaken, Yeah I did. I didn't mean that they 40 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: could get multiple. I guess what I meant to say 41 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: is you get one a week as long as you 42 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: continue to play. Now you go there, you go, all right, 43 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: you just made it sound like you were uncertain. Okay, 44 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: so do it during the season they're doing the season, 45 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: they get how many total doing the season? Thirteen? Yeah, 46 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: I believe it was thirteen over the course of the season. 47 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: But you couldn't save them up to the last month, 48 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: so then you use them up at a certain period 49 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: of time. So on average, Uh, it's not even one 50 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: per per week. Thirt You have eighteen weeks in a 51 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: season and you get a man that that. But my 52 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: NFL Players Association, they are really doing that job. Yeah, 53 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: leave man back in the day. They would probably make 54 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: us practice two days for the rest of the week, 55 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: rest of the season, every day. Well, maybe that's why 56 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: I maybe that's why I read today that an average 57 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: number of points per game have gone down this year. Interesting? Interesting, 58 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Well what practice? Well, it doesn't mean the offense has 59 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: the advantage. Shouldn't they have the advantage? Or should the 60 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: defense have the advantage? I mean, should be should be 61 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: more scores, more more points? You know, that's interesting that 62 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: that they're early in the season, it seemed like we 63 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: had higher scoring games than pat previous seasons. But you're 64 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: saying that at the end of the season. Scoring went 65 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: down this season for the entirety of the season, Yeah, 66 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: like one point did one point? So defensively we finally 67 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: caught up. Yeah, there you go. Defense, we might be done, 68 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: but we're not stupid. So it's an average of one 69 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: point per game. It went down scoring in the league. 70 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: That's because as the season went along, defenses started figuring 71 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: out these offenses. It wasn't just in Dallas that that happened. 72 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: It happened across the league, right Mickey, You know though, 73 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: I yeah, and I read where possibly the number last 74 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: lear was higher because there were no fans in the stands, 75 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: or it was easier on offenses on the road. Interesting, 76 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: very good spats, I think. So then so then you're 77 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: thinking that if you go NBA, so then the bronze 78 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: championship start. The real argument here, so being being in 79 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: the being in the bubble that was that was a 80 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: astick championship. I think it had more to do with 81 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: the fact that players didn't have an off season and 82 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: much of a training camp, and it was more seven 83 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: on seven. Interesting, that's my theory on there you go. 84 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: What are you all right? Mickey? As for as for 85 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: the rest of As for the rest of practice, yes, 86 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys did the same thing today as they did yesterday. 87 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: They started off outside, did their individual work, the position work, 88 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: and then they went indoors for the rest of practice. 89 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: So taking eyeballs off the practice, I would imagine. Uh. 90 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: And the entire roster was at practice. Uh so Uh. 91 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: Jay Ryan Kers returned. We'll find out how much he did. 92 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: It sounded like in Mike's press conference that they were 93 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: going to kind of regulate his snaps and see how 94 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: he was doing. Nashan Wright returned to practice. He missed 95 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: yesterday for personal reasons, evidently the birth of his child. 96 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: So he's back in. Yeah. And then they had guys 97 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: that were limited. But they were limited I think more 98 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: so just out of precautions. One of those Tyrant Smith. 99 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: But Mike said he has no doubt that he'll be 100 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: ready to go. And oh, I know it was Wunda Wells, 101 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: the tight ends coach, was out in COVID protocol from 102 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: yesterday's practice. So we'll see just when he can get 103 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: back in, depending on I mean, when he got it right, 104 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: he's got to do the five days, and they didn't 105 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: practice Monday, they didn't practice Tuesday, So depending on when 106 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: he first tested, he could be back in time for 107 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: the game. Excellent, all right. You know we talked about this. 108 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: You know, Bill wasn't part of this private conversation that 109 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: you and I had yesterday's Spags. He wasn't worthy. But 110 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: we talked about how important it is for the players 111 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: to stay on the roster, and I know we kind 112 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: of touched on it in previous podcast. But with the 113 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: playoffs as important obviously as they are, cowboys have a 114 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: chance to do something they really haven't done in a 115 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: long time with the kind of talent that they have. 116 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: With COVID going around, I mean, just the way it's 117 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: going around and causing people to miss days. Even though 118 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: you might be vaccinated and boosted and all of that, 119 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: you still may have to sit out some days and 120 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: you might actually miss a playoff game. So the question 121 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: is what the heck do we do with our families. 122 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: What do I do if I have kids at home, 123 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: they go to school, and if they bring it home 124 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: and they might infect me and I miss a game. 125 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: An important playoff game. Is this a time for especially 126 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: some of the starters on the team, the ones that 127 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: I really get a lot of playing time, do they 128 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: isolate from their own families? I think that that's a 129 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: very good idea. Short of you know those machines they 130 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: sell at the store, you can shrink wrap stuff and 131 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: then freeze it like food. Short of shrinking. Yes, get 132 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: into the hotel and it sounds like, you know, just 133 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: kind of what we're hearing, uh that you know some 134 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: of the players are utilizing that, but i'd have them 135 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: all in there. Yeah in line, man. That's that's something 136 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: that you know, we talk about the bubble with the 137 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: NBA and and and how well that worked out for 138 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: them to finished the season with very few people sneaking out. 139 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: I think they had uh Lemon pepper Lou Williams, you 140 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: heard that little term. And you heard that term. Lou Williams. 141 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: You know, he's a six Man of the Year. He 142 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: decides to try to sneak out during the first days 143 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: of the bubble. Yeah, and he goes to uh this 144 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: popular script join in Atlanta. Yeah, and they and he 145 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: doesn't sneak out. He takes pictures with everyone on social 146 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: media so and he was talking about how good the 147 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: lemon pepper wings. Okay, so they stuck all them sometimes, 148 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: those limon pepper wings. Yes, the lemon pepper lewis what 149 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: they called him. That's his name. So we don't want 150 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: the lemon pepper LUs about here, spags. We want some 151 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: guys that are committed to staying you know, isolated and 152 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: could have a big chance to play, or like the 153 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: guy in the guy in training camp last year that 154 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: when or in twenty twenty when they were secluded in 155 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: training camp tried to dress up his girlfriend as a 156 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: player and sneaker in the camp that was that was 157 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: in Seattle? Wasn't Seattle? I think? Yeah, uh, all right, 158 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: One thing I do wonder and we'll never know the 159 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: answer to this because it's all behind the scenes. But 160 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, the um uh the NFL has it's been 161 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: now for about a month's time. They changed the testing 162 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: protocols and so forth where in line with the CDC 163 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: and and made it a five day time period instead 164 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: of ten days and so forth, and for vaccinated or 165 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: unvaccinated players. The random testing element of it um which 166 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: it was prevalent throughout the regular season as well. I 167 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: wonder how much of the random testing is going on 168 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: in the postseason or if players are basically just being 169 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: tested now if they have SIMP Well, I thought the 170 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: last time, last thing I read the random testing that 171 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: was going on with the vaccinated players. Maybe the unvaccinated 172 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: are they still getting tested? Am I Okay, we have 173 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: maybe on the unvaccinated. Yeah, but but a guy like 174 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, since he UH tested positive is not for 175 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: a ninety day period, he's not subject to that even 176 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: though he's he's may to be known that he's unvaccinated. 177 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: But maybe for the vat for the unvaccinated. But the large, large, 178 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: large percentage of players are vaccinated, and they were random 179 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: testing vaccinated players in the regular season, I wonder if 180 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: that's continued in the postseason, just because there's so much 181 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: at stake in the postseason, why wouldn't they randomly do 182 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: unvaccinated test unvaccinaed well if unvaccinated or having to do 183 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: it on a on a daily basis, unless they've tested positible. 184 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: I think that's what makes me say Anyway, I just 185 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: wonder if if it's little random testing is to the 186 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: same level as it was in the regular season, just 187 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: because there's so much at stake in the postseason. Well, 188 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: they just better be glad they're not playing the Super 189 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: Bowl in Australia. That's a good So is it time 190 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: for a big shot? Yeah? Whatever you want. That seems 191 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: like a real good jump off right there. I got 192 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: things to say about the Djokovic. No, it's not it's 193 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: no right, no vac Oh my god. All right, Um, 194 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: Internet is undefeated, jay Ron Curse is back right, nicky, Yes, 195 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: And I think that's yes, And that's uh. I think 196 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: that's very significant, especially uh playing this team and how 197 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have played their defense. A guy that, uh 198 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: can you know, help out against the run. But take 199 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: on a tight end like Kittle and I'll tell you what, 200 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: Killer is gonna be a tough handle regardless. I mean 201 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: Jay Roun, he's a good man to man, but Kittler 202 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: is an extremely exceptional route runner for a tight end. 203 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: He's got quick feed, he's out, he's got wide receiver's feet. 204 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: You know, when I played cornerback back in the day, 205 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: there's no way a tight end was gonna beat me. 206 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: I remember Garden Keith Jackson back to Bloomer wore him out. 207 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: So that that's what happened when a cornerback covers a 208 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: tight end? These days a little bit more difficult. As 209 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: much as they were extremely talented tight ends back in 210 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: the day, you would have problems as a cornerback with 211 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: some of these tight ends. Uh. And even Jay run 212 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: is a capable safety, he's gonna have his issues. But uh, 213 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: I think with guys like jay n I'd like to 214 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: ask you, how do vaccinated players feel after they've gotten COVID? Uh? 215 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: Especially seemed like this lighter COVID. Michael Parsons answered that question. 216 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: Didn't he micking? He did? And if I remember correctly, 217 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: what he said was, at this point, he feels fine, right, right, 218 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: And he said it, and it's different for different people, 219 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: whether I mean, I mean I'm amongst vaccinated people, It's 220 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: going to be different for different people, but I mean 221 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: he basically described it as a as a as a 222 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: common cold, the symptoms that he had, right, and he 223 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: feels like he actually feels like he's refreshed now and 224 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: feels like he's coming off a bye week like and 225 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: when he came off a bye week in the regular season, 226 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: he did pretty well, didn't he make it look pretty 227 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: good to me? He was rejuvenated. So then if you 228 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: have we could get into I was gonna ask if 229 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: you have you have fresh legs versus whatever. The leftover 230 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: is the carryover from getting this mild strain. Well, and 231 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: like I say, I think it's different for it. I 232 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: can tell you myself, this was before everyone could get vaccinated. 233 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: I had COVID back in last February and um and 234 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: I felt a fatigue or a muscle fatigue for over 235 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: a three week period then. And there have been there 236 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: have been professional athletes who have said that same thing. 237 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: I remember last seastin no, no, I'm talking to the 238 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: original strain. And I remember Miles Garrett. He got it 239 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: during the season last year twenty twenty, and he talked 240 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: about how he couldn't get his breath the rest of 241 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: the season. Remember, tell them with the Boston Celtics the 242 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: same thing. But I have not heard with the with 243 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: the omicron uh that you know, it's been milder symptoms 244 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: for everybody. I've not heard any players talk about how 245 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: how they're really dealing with it over the cab, the 246 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: leftover effect of it. So so you're saying we got 247 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: a fresh leg Michael Parton Parson Mica seems to think 248 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: he's he's you know, one rare and guess so, yeah, 249 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: you get it, you get it, you get the guys 250 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: right and you get too, you get two days, risk 251 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: get you get some damn. But he didn't get the 252 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: NFL rookie sack record. Damn. Yes, good thing. There was 253 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: no incentives tied to it, right, all right? Did you 254 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: uh did you catch before you hit that break? Did 255 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: you catch what Parson's response was when uh he was 256 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: asked about San Francisco kind of bullish uh running attack? Yes, 257 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: and he was a Let's let's talk about that when 258 00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: we come back.

You know for the HBCU kids. You know 329 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: what we need. We need a network TV contract. That's 330 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: what we need.

You also have 332 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: Eddie George there. You have Eddie Robinson Junior in no 333 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: relation to Eddie Robinson himself, but he's at Alabama A 334 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: and M, which I'm sorry Alabama State which was his 335 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: album model. And all these pros going back showing these 336 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: young kids how to do it. And they're not passing 337 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: up the HBCUs to go polifive or whatever. They're starting 338 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: at the ground boost level. Great stuff. I'm talking week 339 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: league game or more more than that. You know, We're 340 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: promise you. People are talking about that. That's right, that's 341 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: what needs to happen. All right. Last segment, we were 342 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 1: talking about the padded practice rule and yes, in the postseason. 343 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: Chris Beam has handed me a copy of the official 344 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: NFL Practice Rules. Section one. Clubs participating in the postseason 345 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: may hold one padded practice per week on a day 346 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: of the clubs choosing commencing with the week following the 347 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: club's last regular season game. During the regular season, clubs 348 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: get fourteen practice padded practices over the course of the 349 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: eighteen week season. Eleven of those fourteen have to be 350 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: used the first eleven weeks of the season. Okay, So 351 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: that means you only have three padded practices over the 352 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: course of the last seven weeks of the season. And 353 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: then the other thing that's interesting, Mickey, the prohibited drills. 354 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: This is throughout the season, whether it's training camp or whenever. 355 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: Prohibited drills include bull in the ring, King of the Circle, 356 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: drills are the Oklahoma drill, offensive line versus defensive line, 357 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: in line run blocking and board drills, and half line 358 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: pods and three spot drills. Each is to find an 359 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: article twenty three sections, so it's in there in the rules. 360 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: No Oklahoma drills, you know what though, So how nice 361 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: of them. So when we said Bill that they only 362 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: got thirteen, we forgot there was an extra game this year, 363 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: so that meant they got fourteen padded practice. Could you 364 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: imagine how much energy I would have had after practice 365 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: if that's the schedule. I'm getting so much trouble, you know, 366 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: I just really would look at those Dalla caps. Back 367 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: in the day, the Raiders too. Wow, man, you look 368 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: at it, especially if you're a really night the Giants 369 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: Ltmagic letting LT run around in New York after having 370 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: the kind of practices that we have right now, you know, 371 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: he never would have made it to the end of 372 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: his career, never would have made never been in the 373 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: whole thing, you know what though, and he hardly made 374 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: it to practice on anyway. There are some teams that 375 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: do these drills during games though. That would be you know, 376 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: like the Olcloma drill. What what's the Olclomo drill? It 377 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: consists of you said, two backs, right, yeah, and once 378 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: likes like a two on one blocking scheme and you 379 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: have to fight off a blocker to get to the 380 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: running back whatever player. Mickey, that's kind of the run 381 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: scheme that Kyle Shanahan has with the Bullies from the 382 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: Bay San Francisco for you know, they'll take that George 383 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: Kittle they're tied end that you're you know, you think 384 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: about him being a receiving tight end. Mike McCarthy talked 385 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: about the fact that he's an all around player and 386 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: you'll see him go in motion and he's a lead 387 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: blocker along with Kyle Juice tech who is their Pro Bowl, 388 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: multiple time Pro Bowl fullback, that they create two on one, 389 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: three on one blocking schemes against linebackers like Micah Parsons, 390 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: who Mickey is not about to be bullied around by anybody, isn't. 391 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: He's He's absolutely amazing how he comes up with this 392 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: stuff at the spur of the moment and yesterday's media session, uh, 393 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: he was asked, somewhat tongue in cheek, uh, if you 394 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: could bull a lion, right, because because they're there, they 395 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: talk about being a bullyball offense. And by the way 396 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: we talked, we talked about him being a lionbacker like 397 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: a month ago, right, somebody somebody stole it in the 398 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: paper the other day and it's like, yeah, he's a lionbacker. 399 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you're late to the scene. But anyway, 400 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: so anyway, his response to if you can bully a lion, 401 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: uh goes like this, No, you can't. It's actually funny 402 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: you say that. I was having fun with the guys 403 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: and I was telling them, I'm from Harrisburg, where the 404 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: bullies get bullied. You know what I'm saying. There's a 405 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: bully in every gym, there's a bully everywhere you go, 406 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: but at one point it's going to take someone to 407 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: stand up and you fight. And I've never backed down 408 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: from a challenge, so I would say, never say you 409 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: could bully a lion. And ever, how about instead of 410 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: what the bullies from the bay, what about bombs from 411 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: the bay. That sounds a little bit better. We need 412 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: to send them out of here as bombs. They need 413 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: to leave it, come in, bullies, leave his bumbs? How 414 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: about that? All right? Bulletin board material from coming here, 415 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking to. All they gotta do is show that 416 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: down big play up there and it's like as tall 417 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: as this building. Hey, what's the over run? What's the 418 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: over under on that play? And showed in the broadcast 419 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday? You know, I don't, I don't know. I 420 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: think it's kind of played out for this generation, so 421 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: to speak. That's why it needs to be shown again. Yeah, 422 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: that's sav producer will say that. Yeah, yeah, somebody some 423 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: old dude bills age Jim Nan is my age? Jim, like, hey, 424 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: can we que that up? Romo probably was like what 425 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: are you talking? You know? You know, And here's my question. 426 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: My question on that is, does anybody have any film 427 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: on the entire play, all they show is the last half, 428 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 1: and therefore Everson Everson's trying to play catch up underneath 429 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: like he was supposed to cover the tight end right, 430 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: and it's like, where's the rest of the play to 431 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: the whole thing? Hey, But one thing I know about 432 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: that play, they they are very successful they running that 433 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: play and not the part they went to Duwight. But 434 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: you know what San Francisco was doing even back then, 435 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: the same jet sweet type of motion. Uh. It was 436 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: made to where Freddie Solomon goes in motion to the 437 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: left and then as he gets behind the center, he 438 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: turns around his sprints towards the pylon and Dennis Thurman, 439 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,239 Speaker 1: you know that dude's him. He and Charlie Waters two 440 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: of the smartest players I've ever played with. Dennis Thurman 441 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: knew exactly what was coming and he jumped that route. 442 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: So that's what made Joe have to come off of 443 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: that and improvise. But yeah, they were They were going 444 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: for Freddie Solomon at the pylon. And that's the same 445 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: thing that San Francisco does to this day. See it 446 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: all the time, because what you do is you you 447 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: want to catch the dB hesitating as he pivots to 448 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: come back the other way. By that time, it should 449 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: be too late because Solomon is sprinting off of that 450 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: pivot turn to the pylon and hopefully that once they 451 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: snapped the ball, all of the receivers and the other 452 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: defenders will will block him off and create a little 453 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: traffic for him. But now Nate was like, we call 454 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: him Nate Thermo, Nate. Ron Springs always called him Nate 455 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: because basketball player. Well, funny story, yeah, yeah, funny story. 456 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: This is not Ron's fault. This is Mike dick fault. Okay, 457 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: Mike Ditka kept calling him Nate Thurman because Mike Dicka 458 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: was a Nate Thurman fan, and that's spelled the Thurman 459 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: spelled differently. Oh yeah, m O n d I'm thinking, 460 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: yeah Therman h m an, So yeah, that's that's Mike Dicka. 461 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: So Nate, Yeah, Nate had him. Nate had him in 462 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: the corner. And then the rest is sister, Oh, now 463 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: you know the rest Basically when you cut Yeah, basically 464 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: when you cut off the play, Montana said, Okay, I'm 465 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: throwing this ball away right right, and then you got 466 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: that's why they all chase him like he would come. 467 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: He's like, oh okay, but I can't wait to see 468 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: how Parsons is utilized in this defense this week. What 469 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: do y'all think with this run game that the Niners 470 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: have and with his ability also to come off the 471 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: edge or come up the middle of the rush the 472 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: passer or will you name it about, how do you 473 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: think Quinn's gonna use him? I think speed. It's gonna 474 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: be speed on speed. I mean, that's one thing that 475 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: we we count on with Parsons and this defense. He 476 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: is the peer to me of the speed that we 477 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: possess on this defensive squad. And so that's how we're 478 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: going to try and match it. We're gonna try and 479 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: the jet sweeps are all fast. It's all based on speed. 480 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: The piler comes after they get the ball in the hand. 481 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: The speed is the confusion and the pre snap movement, 482 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: and you have so you have to think fast as well. 483 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: Let's play fast. Let me ask you this. I start 484 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: with you, Mickey, and then Everson follow up. How tough 485 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: is this Dallas defense? Because the forty nine ers, they 486 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: pride themselves, they're calling them there's a bullyball offense. So 487 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: how tough is THEA and we've seen the Cowboys defense 488 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: be able to pressure the quarterback. But we've also seen 489 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: times where teams have been able to run the ball. 490 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: But this is push comes to shove. This is playoff time. 491 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: This is where everything's on the line right here. Just 492 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: how tough is this Dallas defense. Well, we're gonna start 493 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: with Neville gallim Or in the middle now, and I 494 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: don't think anybody's gonna bully that guy. Uh, he's pretty tough. 495 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: I think Watkins in the middle is pretty tough too. 496 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: I don't need to go on and on about DeMarcus 497 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: Lawrence because one of his qualities playing defensive end is 498 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: the fact that he likes to play the run and 499 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: he will chase a run down from the backside and 500 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: he will set an edge. So if you take those 501 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: guys right away, and then consider the speed of Randy 502 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: Gregory on the other side, and then take into account 503 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: Parsons in the middle along with Layton vander esh, I 504 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: think that front is pretty tough. And again, if they 505 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: just don't miss plays and allow San Francisco to hit 506 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: those big plays, this is a pretty tough defense. I 507 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: think they they they get undersold because of the takeaways. 508 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: I think it's it's an under cell because of the 509 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: interceptions you see and maybe the sacks. But these guys 510 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: can be pretty tough as long as they carry out 511 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: their assignments, because when they get a busted assignment, that's 512 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: what creates that big play. Not because they're physically getting beat, 513 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: they're mentally getting beat. So they've got to be on 514 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: their game. And one other thing, when we were talking 515 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: about the injuries, there's a long list of guys that 516 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: were limited yesterday for San Francisco, and then a bunch 517 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: of guys didn't play because they were resting. But Trent Williams, 518 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: their starting tackle, was still out with an elbow injury. 519 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: He missed this last game, so that'll be an interesting 520 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: one to watch today if indeed he gets back into practice. 521 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: We know that, you know, Garoppolo's thumbs not going to 522 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: get any better. The spraining ligament, he was limited, but 523 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: that was to be expected. Did But the enter injury 524 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: I saw was Elijah Mitchell. They're running back. He missed 525 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: with a knee uh, So we'll see where that one goes. 526 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: And then their punter, uh, Mitch wiz Nowski uh is 527 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: still in concussion protocol, he was limited and last week 528 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: Robbie Gould, their place kicker, had to do the punning also, 529 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: So we got to keep an eye on those injuries 530 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: for them today. When you talk about toughness on this 531 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: defense in that secondary for the Cowboys, Uh, Donovan Wilson 532 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: could be big in this game. When you look back 533 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: at the Niners against the Rams, they had one series 534 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: in the third quarter of that game, and they were 535 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: trailing in the game at the time, they ran the 536 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: ball ten straight times. And and well, I mean and 537 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: the way Jimmy g was was was throwing at the time, 538 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: they had to they had to let him settle down 539 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: because he was getting them in trouble. Yeah, and Uh, 540 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: Jordan Fuller, the Rams safety who's now on injured reserve, 541 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: he or his ankle in the game. He was having 542 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: to come up and make a lot of plays stopping 543 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: the run there. And so I can see Donovan Wilson 544 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: in that role for Dallas playing a big factor in 545 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: stopping the run game. Well, the problem, the problem you're 546 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: going to have, Bill, is the youth, right, That's what 547 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 1: it is. I mean, are we ready for playoff football? 548 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: You know, we have the energy, we have the want 549 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: to in the motivation, But are we going to be 550 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: Will we have the instincts for this game? Will we 551 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: understand what they're trying to do to us? Will we 552 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: make the proper adjustments if we get down? Will we 553 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: ever be able to get back on track? What kind 554 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: of adjustments will be made at halftime? You know you're 555 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: talking about in this game football? In playoffs, football becomes 556 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: more of a thinking man's game as much as a 557 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: physical game. Te And that's where I'm wondering on Parsons, 558 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: because Parsons has that air about him that his teammates 559 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: can feed off of the right and he's also no 560 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: dumb seen it in games where he's made adjustments during 561 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: a play and been able to make a play. But 562 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: do have the Niners seen some things in his game 563 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: where they will try to take advantage of his aggression? 564 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 1: And oh they will, Now they there's no doubt they will. 565 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: That's what the misdirection is for. They hope that you 566 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: use that speed all going the wrong way and then 567 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: that we were going to be wide open on the 568 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: other side. That has happened to us this year. All right, 569 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: when you take a break, You know what, guys, you 570 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: know what the other thing yet the other thing on 571 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: that which is amazing and everything can talk to this. 572 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: You're a linebacker or safety and you take one step 573 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: the wrong way, you're toast. It's only one step, right, 574 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: but boy, you've better read it. And here's another reason 575 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: why they've been so good running the football, because this 576 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: kind of just dawned on me today and I said, 577 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: let me look this up. Four of their starting five 578 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: offensive linemen four between four of them, they only missed 579 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: two starts, and both were Trent Williams. The beginning of 580 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: the year and the end of the year. The all 581 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: four of those guys played at least fourteen or fifteen, 582 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: if not seventeen games, And the only offensive lineman that 583 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: they missed was McGlinchey, the starting tackle. He tore a 584 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 1: peck halfway through the season and he missed the I 585 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: think he went through eight games and then they placed 586 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: him on IR. So four of the five guys on 587 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: that offensive linemen only missed two games. I was looking 588 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: at the Cowboys, and if we consider that Connor Williams 589 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: missed his games because of coaching decision, the Cowboys had 590 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: eighteen miss starts on their offensive line. Yeah, and you 591 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 1: look at the Niners and their offensive line is one 592 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: of the strengths of their team. And starting with that, 593 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 1: if Trent william is healthy. If healthy, he just maybe 594 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: still the best left tackle in the game. I mean, 595 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: Tyrant has been has battled some injury issues, and there's 596 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: been a long stretch where Tyrant has been widely considered 597 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: the best left tackle. But it's Trent Williams and Tyring 598 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: Smith or right there at the head of the class 599 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: as far as left tackles go. And they've got its center. 600 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: The Niners have thirty six thirty seven year old Alex 601 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: Mack playing center, and he started every game for him 602 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: this year. I mean, he basically came out of retirement himself. 603 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if he officially had retired, but he 604 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: was close to it at his age, and he's playing 605 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: very well. The right guard, Daniel Brunschool, if you'll look 606 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: at him against the Rams last week, he was man 607 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: handling Greg Gaines their nose tackle. I mean, it was impressive. 608 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very It's going to be a 609 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: task for the Cowboys defense and we'll see if they're 610 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: up for it.

And how about this, I think we've 664 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 1: said this before. His brother's birthday, Uh, and my birthday 665 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: are on the same day. Yesterday. There were a lot 666 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: of birthdays and my family as well, So yeah, you 667 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: just would you give belated birthday shout out. No, I 668 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,439 Speaker 1: gave mine out to them. Yeah, they didn't. They didn't 669 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: have to look at me the way Chris all right, well, 670 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: happy birthday, Chris being all right, So I didn't what's 671 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: to day today? January thirty, January twelfth, okay, all right, 672 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: So January twelfth, I'll try to remember that next year. Okay, 673 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: I probably, I'm guarantee you I won't, all right, So 674 00:41:53,719 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys Niners, Cowboys Niners on CBS on Sunday afternoon. I 675 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: believe this is the first time CBS has carried a 676 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys playoff game since nineteen the nineteen ninety three season, 677 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys forty nine Ers Conference championship game in January 678 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: of ninety four. Because Fox took over. Fox got into 679 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: the NFL broadcasting business whatever in nineteen ninety four, and 680 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 1: they started. They took over NFC games then, and so 681 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,399 Speaker 1: the game on CBS, so Jim Nance and Tony Romo 682 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: on the call. The last time it was on CBS, 683 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: it was Pat Summer all in John Madden, which would 684 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: have been the conference championship game that was played at 685 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: Texas Stadium in January of ninety four. Little trivia there 686 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: for you isn't this something how you don't have to 687 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: be accurate on podcasts. You can say, yeah, I believe, 688 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: believe that's right. Before I say that on CBS tonight, 689 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: I'll do some more checking, right all right, I do 690 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 1: know this. We don't have to believe leave this. We 691 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: know this, Mickey, that Will McClay is signed on for 692 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: He got a contract extension announced by the club. He 693 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: is not going anywhere with all these GM openings around 694 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: the league, you know what. And I think he's pretty 695 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: happy here and the Cowboys continue to make him happy here, 696 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: right because he seems to get a new contract all 697 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: the time. But he is a hand worth keeping. I've 698 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: worked close to him, was around him during the Desperado 699 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: days for Arena Ball when he was the defensive coordinator 700 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: for Joe Avazzano and then he took over as the 701 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: head coach there. And he knows his football And the 702 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: best thing I think about him is he knows people, 703 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: and he has a way of dealing with folks to 704 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: not only listen to them, but that get them to 705 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 1: listen to him too. He's a good guy to be around. 706 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: I got some stuff right here, spags. It says since 707 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen, the Cowboys have drafted nine players 708 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,240 Speaker 1: who went to went on to earn Pro Bowl honors, 709 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 1: Zack Martin, DeMarcus Lawrence, Byron Jones, Zeke Jalen Smith, Dak Prescott, 710 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 1: Laden vanderst Trayvon Diggs, Michael Parsons. And they want to 711 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: kind of contribute his these free agency signs as well, 712 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: Javon Curse, Demante Kazy, Malik Hooker, Sprinkle, Kean O'Neil, Carlos Watkins, 713 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: to Roll Bashman, and Brent Urban. So he's getting a 714 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: lot of credit for helping keep this team afloat and 715 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,280 Speaker 1: even when we stumble, he helps us turn it around. 716 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: And still the most amazing stat from those Pro Bowl 717 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: players you mentioned is what that Byron Jones made the 718 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl without an intern. That can't last long, That 719 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: just can't last long. He is true, He was truly 720 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: the exception. So think think about this, you guys. He 721 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: got criticized, uh, not because of his coverage, but because 722 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: he didn't get any interceptions. And now Diggs gets criticized 723 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: because all he gets his interceptions and he can't cover, right, right, 724 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: He told me too many big players, Yeah, been there 725 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: down knts bags trust me. All right? Well you know 726 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: how you don't You know how you escape criticism? You 727 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 1: win playoff games? You win, you win playoff games, you 728 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: and multiple playoff games, you win a super Bowl, and 729 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: now you're not criticized. Well unless you really, Manny, Yeah, 730 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: that's covering from you. That's you, all right, Mickey, you 731 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 1: have a partying mix shot. Where was that it? I'll 732 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: give you one. I had a note, hold on, hold on, 733 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: there you go, pussy. I think we thought the Cowboys 734 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: did a nice job this year, finishing with forty one sacks, 735 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: which was an improvement. Well, the San Francisco Bullies finished 736 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 1: fifth in the NFL with forty eight sacks. Went one 737 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: and a half of them came from Nick Bosa and armstain. 738 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: We know who to attack then, ye. Nick Bosa had 739 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: fifteen and a half of those. So so that means 740 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to run right at him, make him 741 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: play the run. We are coming at him exactly, all right. 742 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 1: Said that this morning on my I said that this 743 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,320 Speaker 1: morning on my fan report. It was like, basically, this 744 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: is how you neutralize these pass rushers. Run right at 745 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: him and make them play the run because they want, 746 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: and if you think about it, go ahead. That's what 747 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: they did to his brother in that game against Sandy 748 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: against the Chargers. Remember they ran right at to the 749 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: point where in the second half they took him out 750 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,839 Speaker 1: and only brought him in on third down passing situations. 751 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: I gotta safe bags. We think a lot like I 752 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:20,800 Speaker 1: might actually need to start with new articles. Mate, you 753 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: Mick Shots.
