Nate's in here. 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.280 Nate never met an empty chair, he didn't like to 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:11.720 sit in or on microphone, And so Mickey says, where's Everson? 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.000 I said, Everson told us on Friday he couldn't be here. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.080 I told you on Thursday. Also, yeah, he told us 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.800 last week he couldn't be here on Monday and Tuesday. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.319 So what happens in on Tuesday? Ever? Since backs come? 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:29.000 Mickey walks in here and goes, where's Everson? And I said, Mickey, 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.440 we told you yesterday, And Nate said to Micky, we 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.560 told you yesterday. He's not gonna be Yeah. I got 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.160 a lot on my mind. Yes, you got a lot 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:39.440 to take care of. You got a lot of a 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.759 lot of articles to write. That's right, fifteen hundred word 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.360 articles and yours and yours doesn't doesn't fit in those 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.800 fifteen hundred words. I can't even get a mix shot. Well, 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:56.080 Walls is here today. Well, it's good to have you back, Everson. 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.040 Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Guys, there's so 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.280 much to get to there is uh huh yep. So 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.680 where would you like to start, Mickey? You want to 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.440 start with the big guy? Okay, we can do that. 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:13.720 Jonathan Hankins. Jonathan Hankins, Hey, catboys making moves. Man about that? 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:15.919 I mean, come on, that's like, Hey, this is this 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:20.120 is a move to make us you know, big, that's better, bigger, 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.639 hopefully better. All right, And I'll just say this off 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:29.200 the top. This is the reason those guys are in 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.320 that wing of the building and we're in this wing 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.880 of the building. Do you remember the question that I 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.200 posed last week? What would you what was the one 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.200 position group on the team that you would try to 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:46.040 improve as we approach the trade deadline. And we said, 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.639 and we said, what Everson, why did we see exactly? 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.959 And in that wing of the building, they're looking at 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.000 the big Bazuka to put in the middle of that 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.000 defense for the run defense. And the interesting thing is 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.320 when you look up here is information online it says 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.880 three forty. The Cowboys are listing them at three twenty, 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.280 which was his original weight. I think we'll split the 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.359 difference there at three thirty. Right, you know what, he's 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.400 whatever he wants that wants us to say bigger the better. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.880 And now you know we weren't totally off base because 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.320 Spags was all week talking all last week talking about 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.880 how we're giving up way was that you talking about 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.480 way too many rushing yards? And sure enough in the 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:36.760 Lions game, what were the stats for the Lions? I 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.200 believe they ended up with one seventeen dan And those 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.760 are big numbers. I mean there were there were times 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.440 three of the last four games one seventeen or more. 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.560 And it wasn't just the numbers, it was when they 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.240 when they came right, because it was they answered we 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.440 had scored and they would come back and answered with 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.560 the run. But that's what Philly did because yeah, well 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.160 that's what I was about to say in the And 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.760 the reason I posed the question last week is that 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.760 we had just seen this team against the Eagles, and 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.320 we had just talked about what Bradbury and Sleigh did 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.520 at cornerback, and so that was kind of on our mind. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.240 But the key drive in that game was them driving 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:20.200 it down, yeah, to clench the game. And that is 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.279 what stuck in the crawl of the guys in the 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.360 other wing as much as anything. We should have known 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.560 it was coming, because they were bitching all what you're 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.960 talking about. The Lions game just kind of confirmed, yeah, 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.080 we got to do something. It was a thirteen play 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.040 drive against the Eagles, ten runs of those thirds. That 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.080 was the reason they signed him. It wasn't the Lions game. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.400 It was the Eagles game, that's right. And how do 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:47.240 they match up going forward? And knowing the Bears, Oh, 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.200 by the way, are the number one rushing team in 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.880 the league, one one a game. And by the way, 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.400 look around the league. In what's happening all around the league. 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.200 I mean, there are so many games being won with 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.600 quarterbacks throwing for less than two hundred yards. Teams are 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.360 relying on the run. It's like old school football all 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.880 of a sudden around here. And oh they'll change that 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.680 next Yeah, and it might change next month. But right 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.560 now that's what it looks like. Pretty soon we're going 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.080 to see a wishbone. Here's the other thing. Oh, God forbid, 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.400 they do not they do not want that. That'd be 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:27.920 so great, Switzer not for the TeV stays. Um, here's 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.839 the other thing. What was it? What was your immediate 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.720 reaction when we learned during the show? By the ways, 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.320 and this news came down about during mix shots not 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.200 as and I wasn't here. You weren't here for three 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.640 minutes to go? I think, did you did you have 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.280 a chance to go for it? Wow? Well we talked 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.360 about it a little bit. We went over time, so 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:53.520 you're about three minutes or so and yeah, but um, 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.560 what was your immediate reaction? Okay? So who are they 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.760 getting rid of? Right? Yeah? Right, you know, and it 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.440 doesn't sound like anybody. Well, and that's the thing. And 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.279 but you look at the way this depth chart was 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:12.200 put together, even going back to the draft in free agency, Okay, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.680 there was a certain depth chart. They're thinking Okay, they know, 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.560 barring injuries, who's going to be available, you know, and 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.560 they know their numbers. Well. One of those guys that 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.520 was in factored into those numbers as they came into 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.120 the season was their fifth round draft pick from Arkansas, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:34.000 John Ridgeway, who, because of roster manipulations and so forth, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.440 they exposed Washington picked them up. So there is a 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.720 big guy. Okay, I'm not saying that Hankins is the 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.560 same guy that Ridgeway. Ridgeway is more of a prospect 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.320 going forward, but it's the same position. They are actually 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.680 better equipped for that position for a stretch run this 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.919 season with Jonathan Hankins than if they had John Ridgeway. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.000 Maybe not two years from now or whatever, but for 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.240 right now they and so there is your spot. And 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.600 so they're probably thinking on the other wing over there, 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.560 going back to last month, we lost one of our 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.080 guys on our depth chart right there, and they've been 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.680 linked thinking that, Okay, this might be a move we 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:16.280 need to make. And think about Mike McCarthy's history. He 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.040 at Green Bay, he had that big ol dump truck 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:24.160 in the was it Gilbert Brown? Yes? Yes? In Kansas. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.000 Uh And and you know, That's why I always said 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.400 when when they don't don't have a fullback, he wants 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.520 a fullback. Right. He had a fullback and used the 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.000 fullback in Green Bay. No matter how much Aaron Rodgers 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.680 threw the ball, they would run two back off. We're 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:47.600 going to see this, well, well that's why Hankins right. Yeah, 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.920 but but think about it because they lost their fullback 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.920 when McGovern ended up starting at guard right and so 0:07:55.680 --> 0:08:00.600 um then Forniac started doing that. Now they've lost him 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.600 right for the season. So we were talking about it yesterday. 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.120 Put Gifford back out there, right. I mean, I'm surprised, Bill, 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.280 you hadn't even pulled up hankins history going back to 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.560 high school. I mean he a full back in the Yeah, 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.480 I could have been a tight end in high school. 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.920 Never know. I'm that's why Jason Peters is here. He 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:28.120 was the tight end well and now he's the basically 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.840 in running situations that he's the third He can uh 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:39.360 be used as the third offensive lineman, third tight end. 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:43.719 Could I bet he would tell you, right? Why not? 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.960 I can see that. But as Mike McCarthy said in 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.679 this press conference this morning, you can't have enough big 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.680 bodies in the building. Yeah, and and and and think 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.360 about when they were on the goal line. Um, and 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.360 I can't remember if it was the time they scored 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.000 or didn't score, but they had two running backs in 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:05.079 and three tight ends. So we don't see that formation 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:11.280 very often either. But he likes to go heavy, So yeah, 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.000 keepstaying simple. Yeah, when you have that ability to do. 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.480 Would you like the history on Hankins, who was born 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.200 in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. He began his career and this 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.400 is according to Wikipedia, as a two hundred fifty five 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.200 pound offensive guard his freshman year. His sophomore year, he 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.360 transferred to Southeastern High School in Detroit, where he started 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:37.320 on the defensive line. Five star prospect William Golston, who 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.680 has been playing for a decade for the Tampa Bay 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.520 transferred to Southeastern in two thousand and eight, creating the 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.400 best defense in Detroit with Hankins shutting down the inside 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:51.920 and Gholston patrolling on the edge and an Hankins wound up, 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.800 of course, going to Ohio State and Gholston went to 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.960 Michigan State. So there you go. Well, there there's your history. 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.200 So I don't see back in or fullback in his 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.920 and after you left on Saturday, I had a guy 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.840 come up from the guy that asked the question from Monroe, Louisiana. Yeah, 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.400 and he gave me the entire history of Cavante Turpin 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.600 and who was on that Monroe High school team that 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:23.680 won the state champions Yes. Another note on Hankins and 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.200 the weight he weighed in as a freshman. According to 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.920 one of the college at freshman in college at Ohio State, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.880 as a three hundred and fifty pound freshman, he wait 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.439 a minute at about three fifty three fifty five. By 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.680 his sophomore year he managed to get his weight down 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.679 to three thirty and became a starter. He but at 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.200 the combine, I believe it, the combine he was three 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:52.360 twenty Okay, so years as one hundred pounds was added. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:57.839 Freshman year, you said two fifty five yeah, freshman, Yeah, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:06.240 freshman insane fifty five pound offensive guards three Yeah, I'm 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.679 telling you cowboys needed a big in the middle. That's right. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.920 What what? What was the old saying? He ate his 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.520 parents out of house and hole he ate with that? No? 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.559 Stop he ate his parents right, No, because then he 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:25.720 wouldn't have had any money by food so anyway, that's 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.280 a you know, and now you you you've got a 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.880 cluster there of defensive tackles, and you can choose by 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.320 who you're playing. Right, if you're playing you need a 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.480 pass rusher, well maybe they're not active on game day, right, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.400 And and and like I said, the beauty of it is, 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.480 you didn't have to sacrifice what you gave up a 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.200 sixth and you get a seven next year, and you 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:52.960 had open roster spots. And he doesn't cost an arm 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.880 in the leg. As a matter of fact, he was 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:59.360 basically on a minimum deal and a per game bonus, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.960 and the per game bonus was only like thirty eight 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.440 hundred dollars a game. So and this shows that the 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.439 Cowboys are preparing for a stretch run in a specialized 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.840 NFL where a player like this he might play ten 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.880 snaps a game, but those are important snaps that this 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.360 team wasn't prepared for otherwise without the big bazook in, 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.439 how would you like to see him on the goal line? Right? Exactly? 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.079 So it's situation with football is what you're talking about here. Absolutely, 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.880 So that's his role. I don't know, I'm just wondering 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.040 we brought him in we needed to bring him in. 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.440 Why did we need to bring him in? Who's not 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.520 doing their job? Well, I think it's just the size 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.280 that they've got most of them. Look at their defensive 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.200 tackles other than Bohannah and so Bohanna, here's a second 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:54.360 year guy, Okay does doesn't have a lot of snaps 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.840 on his resume in his NFL career, And then what 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.160 happens if Bohannah goes down? You know? So, now you 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.280 got a couple of guys and the other guys are 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.760 three technic exactly, Yeah, because when got here, we go, oh, 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.080 that's a three technique, right? They made him play what 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.600 was it at Oklahoma? Was basically a three four defensive 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:19.840 five technique? Yeah, five technique. So, uh, Tristan Hill three technique, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:26.880 that's the other one. Tristan Hills also three technique? Right? Um? Watkins? Yeah, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.920 and Watkins is one of those that he was a 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.679 five technique with the Texans, and you know, but a 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.560 little bit of both. But still, you know, I think 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.960 Gallamar was the heaviest at three fifteen. Everybody else, you know, 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.120 some of them were nine. I was gonna say ninety two, 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.520 ninety two, ninety five, so and and think about it 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.800 a lot what they do at their defensive ends. They 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.800 moved some of those guys inside and that doesn't match 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.600 up well against the run. So uh. And we were 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.840 looking at it because that's why I was a constant 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.720 price to me as well, because we hear on mix shots. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:07.679 We were looking at it as outside runs, well our problem. Yeah, 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.040 And then the Lions came in and said, look, you 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.520 got problems inside and outside. We just wanted to and 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.560 aside from and this is just my perception, aside from 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.360 the runs that Fields made Monday night, there are other 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.080 other running backs looked like they were between the tackles. Yeah, 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:34.520 so um so, and why can't he play? Somebody was like, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.960 can he play on Sunday? It's not like he's coming 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.080 off his couch. Christian McCaffrey played two days after Yeah, 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.040 at a running back position. And how difficult is it 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.160 to play tackle? You know, you're not playing that many 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.160 fancy games up front. You got a role to play, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.240 You got a job to do. Right here you go, 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.560 there's the ball, go get it all right.

Cowboys playing Sunday 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:41.720 at noon against the Chicago Bears, and Mickey, in honor 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.760 of Halloween. I think here's the look for the Chicago 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:50.560 Bears Sunday. Okay, they're going with the orange, orange helmets, 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:55.480 orange jerseys. Mickey, I ask you, since you're a native 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.600 of Chicago, right, you've watched a lot of Chicago Bears 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:02.240 football in your time. They never what do you think? Nah? 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.840 I like it. I didn't like it. I like it. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.720 So are the Cowboys run? I believe they may be 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:13.919 going blue. Producer Supreme is speculating that they are wearing 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:19.760 blue all blue. I don't know, Okay, producers, No, I 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:24.360 think it's not blue, just blue gray. Yeah, right, helmets 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.920 that regular helmets. Yeah yeah, I'm not even on the 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.439 but that I think so. Do you think it's an 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.680 honorable Halloween pumpkin look? No, because they wore that two 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:37.359 weeks ago. Well, but yeah, but Halloween's im why I 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.480 didn't like it then? I mean, it seems natural to 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.359 wear it the day before Halloween, doesn't it. They're probably 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.440 trying to sell jerseys they want national no doubt, that's 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:52.280 that's Halloween orange. That doesn't that doesn't portray. That's Midway's 0:18:52.320 --> 0:19:02.080 pumpkin orange. Its slue. That's that's the line. That's all. Yeah. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.160 Orange teams are doing all right this year Tennessee volunteers. 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:10.560 What's Cincinnati doing? Okay, they're coming on. Did you see 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.639 how many yards cover Burrow through four the other day? 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.280 I did? Yeah? So there you go. All right? What 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.440 else is on your legal pad from Mike McCarthy's press 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.040 conference this morning or anything else that you've fed. We 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.080 talked about this last week that today would be the 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.760 day and it is de Moon Clark is going to 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:34.800 be put on the fifty three man roster. Uh and 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:40.320 it would be for special teams purposes. So um, we'll 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:47.480 go tight look at him. What was that? Uh? And 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:53.400 hey yeah we can say hi to him now right there. Yeah, 0:19:53.960 --> 0:20:03.119 it's not working yet, yeah, um yeah, so that's uh. 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.040 I keep an eye on him, the moan Clark, the 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.919 moan Clark. Now Emmett is not practicing today. He's going 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:15.760 to be with britt Emt hasn't practiced it about That 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:20.879 was my that was signed somebody else signing about My 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.040 next note was about I want to see how that 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:28.359 was gonna play out. Sound got the breaking news Sounder 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:40.760 is not practicing and that's not a thank you. Who 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:45.159 are they let him go to sign him it? Uh? 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:51.160 I mean Zeke's going on irre that is not true. 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:56.000 That is not true. But he's not practicing today, Zeke Um. 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.199 I'm sure that Nie still sore from when he got hit. Now, 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.600 McCarthy didn't answer the question when he said he's not practicing, 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:08.560 and somebody suggested sprain knee and he said, yeah, whatever, 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:13.320 he's not practicing. I can't imagine it's sprained. It sounded 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:16.600 like he's on the side with Britt Brown, right yeah, 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.800 And it sounded like Monday night when he was on 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:25.480 Cowboys Hour that it was a contusion. And I can 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.879 imagine Bruce is a contusion after he got hit with 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.639 a helmet on the knee like that. So we'll see 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.719 what it turns out. My guess is you're trying to 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.280 get him till Sunday, right. You don't need him practicing 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.520 to Wednesday Thursday. Now, one of the reporters is trying 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.600 to get him to Green Bay because they question what 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:54.160 the question was posed. With a bye week next week, 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:58.640 does that factor into the decision for this week where 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:01.960 you can buy two weeks for him? And so in 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.160 my mind, that reporters trying to get him to Green 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:06.440 Bay and that reporter I did not watch the Monday 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:10.040 night game against Chicago, I guess I guess not when 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.760 the Bears scored the most points they've had and since 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.400 Justin Fields was drafted, I guess that was last year. 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.320 You know, play against the Bears. They can lull you 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:25.880 into a certain type of game, you know, very hectic, chaotic, 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.440 you know, because he's when he's back there, he's he's 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:30.960 like he's trying to run for his life. And we 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.000 play right, you know, And then he completed a few 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.960 passes this time. Yeah, and the scumbles out of the packet, 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:41.280 out of the pocket, they would just scary. You start 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.040 thinking about the speed he possesses. If you kids one 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.560 defender with his back to the quarterback, he could run 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:48.680 way by him in the fo testdown. That's why when 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.720 it even if it's I mean, you know what, even 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:55.000 if it's third down passing situation, I don't know that 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:59.600 I Micah Parsons at defensive end where they can double him. 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.480 I'd rather him in the middle of the field. Chase 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:06.399 that guy down because he's gonna go. He's going He 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.520 ran for eighty most of the time he has to 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.000 go right, yeah, because that's not really given much pet 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:14.720 here's the weird stat on the Bears. They have the 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:20.240 number one rushing offense. They have the thirty second passing offense, 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:24.080 and that's why they're twenty eighth and total offense, which 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.879 by the way, it's one spot ahead of the Cowboys. 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:34.800 Cowboys are twenty ninth in yards m so hopefully soon 0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:37.000 to be changed. So that either tells you how well 0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:41.440 they're running it or how poorly they're three well, they 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:46.840 beat uh San Francisco in the season opener nineteen to ten, 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:52.320 and justin that was in the rain and fields but 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:54.840 fields through for one hundred and twenty one yards in 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:59.560 that win. They beat Houston twenty three to twenty and 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:02.320 he threw for one hundred six yards in that win 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:05.560 through two interceptions and was sacked five times, ran eight 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:10.320 times for forty seven yards. And then they beat New 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.960 England and you saw he was one hundred and seventy 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.679 nine yards passing and it was eighty two yards rushing 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:20.680 on fourteen carries. So there you go. There are three wins. 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:24.119 He has thrown for under two hundred yards and close 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.240 to one hundred yards in one of the wins, but 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.600 he threw for one hundred and ninety against the Commanders. 0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:34.240 In a twelve seven game against Green Bay, he threw 0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:38.160 for seventy yards. Yeah, So was this the blue moon 0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.040 or is he getting better? I think he's getting bad. 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.960 It was his best performances as a Bear. I think 0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:47.440 the entire offense is getting better. And when they came 0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:48.919 in you could just kind of see they went a 0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:51.760 little bit disarray. But when you have an athlete like 0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:56.359 that in thee, in the backfield at quarterback, most likely 0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.119 with his kind of talent, you're going to improve. I 0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:04.240 think the offense coordinator would understand what's best for him 0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:07.600 in certain situations. I think they're understanding each other. It's 0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:11.080 a new offensive coordinator, and I think what I was 0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:17.360 reading he sort of designed that game plan to fields 0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:21.480 instead of fields being fit into his games. Right, And 0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:24.160
