0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.279
<v Speaker 1>about time we played some football. We are on the

<v Speaker 1>eve of the start of the National Football League season,

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.040

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.880

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>It is here, guys. Hopefully they're traveling safely too. By

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 1>the way, I can't believe. I can't believe that the

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>season is even starting. You guys know I was the

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>pessimist of the group. I must be. I'm amazed that

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the NFL has actually gotten the schedule going and we'll

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 1>about to watch some football. I'm as happy as Bill.

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm as happy as Bill Jones now. And the Cowboys

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>actually got there first official regular season practice in today

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>this morning and they just finished up. So they went

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>about oh an hour and forty five minutes today outdoors

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>on top of it on that new field, and we

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>are anxiously anticipating the first injury reports of the sea. Yeah, right, absolutely.

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I wonder when the official ones will come out, but

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I could at least tell you who was there and

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>who wasn't. Uh. Chitubey A Woozier uh and Xavier Woods

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 1>were participating in practice, along with Luke Gifford, by the way,

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.399
<v Speaker 1>and he'd been out for a couple of weeks. Uh,

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>so those three guys were in there. Uh, Brandon Knight

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>got back in practice the offensive tackle uh and Brandon

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Carr was out there, so uh he must have been

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>in pretty darn good shape because they had him in

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>a helmet and uh he was going through the drills

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and actually going through uh some of the well the

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>skeleton team stuff that the defense was doing. And he

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>was at safety by the way, so uh so he

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>is he is not on He's on the practice squad

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>still technically, but you know he's a guy if they

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>decide that they need him on Sunday, they can promote

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>him to the to the roster on game day. But yeah,

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I checked on those salary sites and his dollery is

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the maximum of a veteran can get on the practice squad,

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>which is twelve thousand dollars a week. So I would

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>imagine if they at some point promote him to the

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>fifty three, he'll get at least at least the veteran minimum,

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>which I believe this year for a guy that has

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>ten years in the league is minimum base is one

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>point three million. So but yeah, he was out there.

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 1>So the only people that I didn't see practicing that

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>was on the fifty three man roster was Jordan Lewis.

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>He was still working on the resistant chords. And everybody

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>can take a deep breath because Amari Cooper was out

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>there participating in the portion of practice that everybody was

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>able to watch. Now, one thing they also came out

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>yesterday the first well I don't know how official it is,

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>but it is a depth shark I got released yesterday

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and there was much uh consternation in the local media

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>about that depth chart because there were only ten starters

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>listed on as Mickey Mike McCarthy still at work, right,

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna know what we're doing with that other spot.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>But I think if I if I counted him right,

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>they did have five. They did have five. Don't despair there,

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>um Yeah, and you know, and it's it's probably going

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to be another wide receiver. But they didn't want to

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 1>say they're going three wide and they didn't want to. Yeah,

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>they didn't want to. They didn't want to tell the

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Rams what formation they coming out in, what first all

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 1>they were using on the first and not have a

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>fullback out there, so I try they didn't have They

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>only had one tied end on the depth chart, they

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>only first team, they only had two wide receivers, no fullback,

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and so they're not gonna tip their hand and what

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>formation they're coming out in. And I noticed on Twitter

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the other concern was is they had, uh they only

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>have two linebackers out there because they listed Alden Smith

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>as a linebacker. Uh so uh, it's like, look, I

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>like that. I like I like the fact that they

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>threw it out there that Okay, their speculation we might

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>be in a three four defense, Okay, chew on this row. Yeah, exactly. So,

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>uh no, no secrets getting out of here at the

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Star at this point and a lot of deceptions. Tell you, guys,

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm loving this. I'm loving this bill past sales, throwback

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>mode that we're in, you know, with all the gamesmanship

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>that we're dealing with, I love it. Man. They're using

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and unfortunate situation which caused a lot of concern for

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. But you know, only a good

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>coach is going to use it to your advantage so

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.040
<v Speaker 1>that we can have as many advantages that we can

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>have during this ballgame. This is this is a throwback

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>type situation. You know. Ever since I was thinking about

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>this when I when I heard some complaining in the media,

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and I said, you know what, at some point, you're

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna wish Jason Garrett was back here. He was much

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>more open about injuries, he was much more open about

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 1>where guys were gonna play, and mccarthury ain't given away nothing.

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know, when we first met him back in January,

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>it was it was a really informative meeting that he

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>had with the people that covered the team on a

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>daily basis. And somebody asked me about it, and you

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>know how it went and I said, yeah, it was

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>really good. He's a nice straight shooter. And he goes, yeah, well,

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>don't get used to it, because I heard from the

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 1>guys that cover the team in Green Bay he doesn't

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>give up anything once the season starts, and I think

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>we're starting and seeing that was my question. I was

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>wondering if anyone had talked to the guys that covered

0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the team, yeah, doing the off season and when all

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>this was going on, is this something that you yeah,

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.039
<v Speaker 1>absolutely yeah, And he's uh, and he's pretty good when

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>he and I don't know if it's the technology that

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of messing up with the press conferences. But

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>at the end, if he gets a question when it's

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>almost done, and I don't think he likes it, it's like, okay, yeah,

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I can't you hear that? Well, we gotta go to

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>my wife all the time. Man, I didn't know that

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you like Bill Parcels. He would just start telling a

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>story and the story would be so good you forgot

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>what the question was. That's what check out the end

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>of today's press conference and Mickey's alluding to right there

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>because he got he got the last question, which was

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>something about protocol on the sidelines or something, and then

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>he decided in his own mind that was going to

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 1>be the last question, but before it signed off, Okay,

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>he said, Rich said that was the last question, so

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>unlike Jason have to point out that's an endor and

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>he would walk off. Speaking of his press conference, I

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a good press conference today. I thought

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was revealing on kind of what he

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>told the team in their meeting today and the emphasis

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>on not losing games, making mistakes that sort of thing,

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and just the in general the mindset of what the

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>expectations are here in Dallas. He said it from day

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>one when he got the job, that he embraces the

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>high expectations super Bowl expectations that they should have here

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas and uh and he talked on him. Yeah, well,

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was that was probably the best part

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>of the press conference because I think the question he

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>got was do you worry about the expectations of the

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys because they're always high? And he basically said, no,

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that's what the expectations should be. I'm not coming in here,

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.719
<v Speaker 1>he said, I'm not one of these guys that under

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>what was it sells and over promotes overproducers yeah, he goes,

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I expect us to produce and I don't come in

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.839
<v Speaker 1>here in men's words. So you know, he basically pointed out, Yeah,

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>my expectation is to come here and win every game

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and so and he goes, And that's what every team

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>in the league's probably thinking. So yeah, I thought that

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>was a really good part of the press conference today

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and maybe as revealing as he's been since this week began.

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you think about coaches, new coaches coming

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>in and you hear those press conferences, you know, sometimes

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you just hear it just sounds like they're just saying

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>words because that coach may not be proven. This coach

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>has proven. Coach McCarthy has been there before. He's won

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>with some of the better players in history, one of

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the better quarterbacks, probably go down to one of the

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>better quarterbacks in history. But what you have to understand

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>is he knows what the formula is to win. You know,

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>when you're talk talk about going all the way to

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl, Guys, you've been a part of this

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>fadge bill. You've been a part of it. We've seen

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>it with the Cowboys. I was there with the Giants.

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>It takes a special group and a lot of luck

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>as well to go to a super Bowl. This team

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>has what they need to go. All they need is

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the leadership itself. And I like what he said during

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the press conference. We cannot beat ourselves. You guys heard

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>me talk about it this past week about how we

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>need all three fasts of the game. But what we

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>also don't need or a bunch of penalties that are

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>going to take us out of position and put us

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>in situations and all of a sudden, that kind of

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>becomes the culture. Like last year with the Cowboys, there

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>were many games, big games where we're trying to make

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 1>a comeback after putting ourselves in a tough position, and

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, untimely penalty stops us on a

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>big play, stops us on a touchdown. You can ask

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Reddy Cop we handle Cop about that one in regards

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>to how many touchdowns will call back just on his yardsties.

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>We got right happy about that. I'm not gonna feel

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>too sorry for him. But at the same time, for

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>as far as the team is concerned, those touchdowns could

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>have meant a lot and made a big difference in

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.679
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys season. Weren't If it weren't for those penalties.

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Sort of like you hope the Stars learned last night

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 1>with the amount of penalties they took in that hockey game.

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>You just don't want that to be a culture, uh

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>in regards to losing games and how Yeah. And I

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.439
<v Speaker 1>like the fact also Bill and Everson that he brought

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>it when he was asked about the Rams in last

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>year's game. He said, hey, we broke it down. We

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>showed him basically why you scored forty four points. Uh,

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>And he goes, you know, and we and that's the

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>way you got to be able to play. And I

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>had forgotten that they scored forty four points against that

0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Rams team. It was towards the end of the season.

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know that he said, well, yeah, it could

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>create motivation, but for the uh, for the Rams. But

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, nothing they can do about that now, you know.

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 1>You know. You look at it though, and with the

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>changes that have occurred on that Rams team in this offseason,

0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>not only in personnel on the playing field, but also

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>in their coaching staff even more so than usual, I

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think that you can take much out of what

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>happened late in the season last year. Though that was

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a big a big loss from the Rams perspective because

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>it basically knocked him out of a chance of getting

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 1>back into playoffs last year. Uh, you know, it's interesting,

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you know Wade Phillips, and we'll get more into it

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 1>in the next couple of days into the game planning.

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.959
<v Speaker 1>It goes into into this one. But you know, Wade

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Phillips is no longer the defensive coordinator. Brandon Staley is

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the defensive coordinator, thirty nine years old in his first

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>year as a DC. And McCarthy in this in the

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.319
<v Speaker 1>in the Packers staff. Members of this staff who were

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.959
<v Speaker 1>with the Packers have some familiarity because he comes from

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the Vic Fangio school. He was an assistant under Fangio

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 1>with the Chicago Bears for a couple of years, then

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 1>last year with the Broncos. And so when when Mike

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.320
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy talks about the differences in that the three four

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 1>defense that Phillips runs has compared to Fangio, I think

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that's what he was talking. And he also pointed out

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that from a personnel standpoint that you know, they've got

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.199
<v Speaker 1>two assistant coaches that were with the Rams last year,

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Skiff Pete, John fossil So they got a little insider

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>information on personnel. Now, you don't know how they're going

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to use some of these guys, but you can pick

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>their brains and say, Okay, what does this guy do?

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 1>What are his tendencies? Uh, And that's some pretty good

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:51.679
<v Speaker 1>intel going into the first game, even though you don't

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>have any tape on this team. I think that helps

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>out from a player to players standpoint. Those guys know

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and I've said Staley's thirty nine years old, He's only

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven and first time as a DC in this league,

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>so we'll callin plays for the first time. That's an

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting element here in this first game. And then McCarthy

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>also talking about Sean McVay, the respect that he has

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>for McVay, the success that he has had at such

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a young age, early in his career as a head coach,

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and they've gone up against each other a few times.

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>McVay now going into his fourth year as the Rams

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>head coach. Jared Goff's had a couple of big games

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>against those Packer teams, three hundred yard passing games. So

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that McCarthy, although I don't know that he

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>was asked about golf per se today, I think he

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of respect for golf and what the

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Rams on the Cowboys defense is probably thanking God that

0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>those two running backs that ran over him in the

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:56.239
<v Speaker 1>playoff game are no longer there. I was like govermenting

0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>that about the personnels bads, because boy, they lost some

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>good ones. They really did. Those are to me, when

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>you talk about two of the three very integral parts

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of their team, you go to the free safety part

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>of it as well. In the secondary they just lost

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I believe his name is Eric Whittle, a great free

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 1>safety for the Rams. This guy's uh, you know, he's

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 1>not there anymore, and they've gonna have to fill that

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>sitch that position in very well. That's a key position,

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.040
<v Speaker 1>especially when you're going up against the top offense. And

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>last year, yeah, they also had one of their starting

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>linebackers get hurt and they had to put him on

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>injured reserve. I think it was Travian Howard was slated

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>to start, so they won't have him either to TEU.

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, well but again, you know, as we keep saying,

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:49.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll see, because we haven't seen a lot yet. No

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>one isn't anything yet. And Jalen Ramsey is a very

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>happy man. We get into that and much more in

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in movies back in the day? Well, let me tell you.

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 1>We had a drive in theater on one block over

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 1>from where we lived. It was the greatest thing in

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 1>the world. When we got old enough to stay out

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 1>after the sun went down. And what we would do is,

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 1>so you know, our our our house faced the other way,

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 1>and then there was neighbors behind us, and then the

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:18.159
<v Speaker 1>drive in. So uh during during the day or maybe

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 1>at night. Uh, we'd sneaked the Brave Ones underneath the fence.

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 1>During the day, we'd dig a hole so we can

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 1>go crawl underneath the fence, and we'd said the Brave

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Ones in and they would go and turn the speakers

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.640
<v Speaker 1>up on the ones where there was no cars. Right,

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>so we could sit on the curb across the street

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and watch the movies. Uh. And if I remember correctly, Um,

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it was Planet of the Apes and those everyone I

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:53.399
<v Speaker 1>was going to say when the Planet of the Apes

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>first came out it was X rated, I think. And

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>so we we sat on the corner and watched the

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Planet of the Apes. Now it might have taken two

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.359
<v Speaker 1>days because depending on which way the wind was blowing,

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 1>we could hear or we couldn't hear. And then the

0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>real Brave Ones we sent him to the concession standing

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:16.000
<v Speaker 1>get his popcorn. Well, there was nothing like the gym.

0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows about the Gem and I drive in theater.

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I know, Bill, you remember that. You got to remember

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the Gem and I drive in theaters right off a

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 1>central expressway. Remember, right, awesome Hamilton Park. We could we

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.239
<v Speaker 1>could we could sit on we could also set on

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>our porches. They had three screens. Uh, spags, so you

0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>could sit on your porch and you could see a

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 1>screen or two, especially from Cherrell's house. She was right

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>there across the street. And we were so bold we

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't because I guess we lived right there. We didn't

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 1>really care about sneaking in. We would just bummer USh

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 1>the gate and we would climb the fences. You know,

0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 1>we had the fences like uh, like what the yeah,

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what we had. Yeah, had the Cold Good medal.

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's how I learned how to climb fences so well,

0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:08.120
<v Speaker 1>because you had to. You had to be good if

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>they caught you. When you got caught at the top

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of the fence, usually someone was gonna kick you back out.

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.119
<v Speaker 1>But once you've made it to that concession stands fags,

0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>then you were all its over. It was over your

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 1>end there him. But those are the best times of

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Gem and I drive in theater, had a great time.

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 1>One more funny one more funny thing is we'd see

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:36.879
<v Speaker 1>the neighbors because they charged you per person, right, So

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>what the neighbors would do is they'd have a couple

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:43.120
<v Speaker 1>that would drive in, but the other couple that would

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>be in the back seat, they put them in the

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 1>trunk so they could sneak it and not pay for

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the other two admissions. I don't say that we did that,

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 1>but I'll say I had some friends who did that.

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:58.399
<v Speaker 1>We had Gem and I drive in at Gem and

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I it was a dollar a call old just a dollar.

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And so however many people you could put in the car,

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Devil's great. But of course they didn't know about the

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.959
<v Speaker 1>ones in the trunk. So yes, bag that was Universal

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.439
<v Speaker 1>and Mickey. At the one eighty three drive in and

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>irving just down the highway from Texas Stadium, we weren't

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>worried about turning up the speakers. We just sit outside

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and watch the movies from outside, if you know what

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean. We didn't need any sound. And by the way,

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean one more note on drive in theaters. Everson,

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 1>do you remember when Texas Stadium had drive in movie theaters?

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I'd working light there. That's right, This is a throwback

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:42.160
<v Speaker 1>at the Star now, all right, time fum to come back,

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>time fum to come back. That's right. That's that's one

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 1>of the one good thing that has come out of

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. One all right, Jalen Ramsey is smiling ear

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.959
<v Speaker 1>to ear one hundred and five million dollars something like

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty one and a half million a year, And that's

0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 1>almost as much as Everson made in his entire career

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 1>in the All right, oh boy, I thought I was

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 1>so proud of my contract. I had an annuity. Was whoo,

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you're having annuity? Nowadays, no one needs annuity. Just give

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.040
<v Speaker 1>me all my money. Now I don't have my own annuity. Now,

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.919
<v Speaker 1>it's got to be an amazing thing. Uh. We saw

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>how Deshaun Watson reacted to his contract and how emotional

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that was for him. Uh, that's just the way he

0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 1>was as a person. That's just his his uh, you know, temperament.

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.679
<v Speaker 1>But when you look at Jalen Ramsey, I don't know

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.919
<v Speaker 1>if you guys would call his last year in Jacksonville.

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it was he pulled up in a he

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>pulled up in the bricks truck with music and dancing girls.

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.479
<v Speaker 1>If i'm if, I might add with video music and

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 1>all of that. So the difference between those two is just,

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, it covers the spectrum. But he's a guy

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that that will clearly live up to his contract. Uh.

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 1>He is never I can't remember him having any offseason

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to where he had a you know, gave up an

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 1>unusual amount of plays. This is a guy that has

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>been deserving his money for a long time. You know,

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 1>as a defensive back and as a as a form

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>of player, you want to you pull for guys who

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>get that money, but you also want to see them

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.120
<v Speaker 1>live up to it. And I think he's a guy

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 1>that's going to live up to it, despite the fact

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>he only had one interception last year. Everson, Yeah, but

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:35.159
<v Speaker 1>he shut down. He shut down a whole lot of

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. You you find me one wide receiver that

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:42.359
<v Speaker 1>talks trash about Jalen Ramsey, and I'll give him a

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of credit because he must have gotten something done

0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 1>because Jalen shuts him down. He shuts him down, and

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>he only needs forty seven more interception than in his

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 1>career to match everything loss. He'll get there. He'll take

0:24:55.520 --> 0:25:00.160
<v Speaker 1>a while, but he'll get there, all right. Speaking of contracts,

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple of as far as what the Cowboys are concerned,

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 1>let's start with Randy Gregory gets a contract extension yesterday. Yeah,

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>he did, Bill and it was basically a one year deal.

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know what they and and when you look

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>at it, you know what they did, he's gonna he

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:18.639
<v Speaker 1>would have been on He's still on his old contract.

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:23.600
<v Speaker 1>So next year, providing everything works out this year, he

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:27.159
<v Speaker 1>would be a restricted free agent, and you know, the

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>restricted free agent tender for a guy like him was

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:37.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be at least two points some million second round, right,

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>So what they did is they basically advanced him two

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand for this year. And because he hadn't been

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:48.560
<v Speaker 1>getting paid, Remember, they tried to sign him to an

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 1>extension while he was suspended, and the NFL said, nah,

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>he can't do that. So basically, next year he's gonna

0:25:56.600 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 1>make what he would have normally made as a restricted

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:06.439
<v Speaker 1>free agent at your original draft choice. So it helps

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 1>him out because you know, he's getting paid week to

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 1>week and I'm sure he paid dearly to go through

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:15.639
<v Speaker 1>the rehab that he had to go through to be

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>able to you know, recover and get reinstated. So basically

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of did him a favor and gave him some

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 1>money ahead of time. And the Zach Martin restructure, what

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:33.880
<v Speaker 1>is the Cowboys gained eight million dollars to the salary

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>cap this year and everybody's like, oh, whoa, what are

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 1>they going to use it for it. Well, that eight

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 1>million gives him about twenty million under the cap meeting.

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 1>That's what they have left. And normally they like to

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>keep ten to twelve in reserve for things that come up,

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 1>like you got to pay a guy goes on injured reserve,

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you got to replace him. There's another salary. I can't

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 1>imagine they're going to keep Brandon car on a practice

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:08.199
<v Speaker 1>squad salary of twelve thousand dollars a week, which is

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:11.119
<v Speaker 1>what he's on right now, because when he moves to

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the fifty three, he's got a he's got at least

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 1>make the minimum, and so you know, and the minimum

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.359
<v Speaker 1>for a guy that's got ten years in like he does,

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's about a million and a half a year.

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 1>So there's more expenditure there, so you gotta have a cushion.

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 1>And then the other thing, you guys, what you can

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:36.240
<v Speaker 1>do is if you end up under the cap and

0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't use it all, then you can use it

0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 1>next year. And they may need it next year just

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 1>because of what happens with the pandemic and not making

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>as much money off the turnstiles. You know, the Cowboys

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 1>will get some allowing fans in, but like this weekend

0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and Rams ain't making anything because got a brand new

0:27:57.240 --> 0:28:01.479
<v Speaker 1>seventy two thousand seat stadium and they're not letting fans

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 1>in and that's something you share with the visiting team

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:07.879
<v Speaker 1>and there's no share there. So the revenue is going

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:10.400
<v Speaker 1>to go down next year, the cat might go down.

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 1>We got to see how it plays out, and you

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 1>know what, and then what would you would you think?

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>So it only the pro ration, So they take that

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.879
<v Speaker 1>that money they saved giving him the money up front,

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and they pro rated over the length of the contract,

0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 1>so it really only adds to the contract another one

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>point eight million a year because he had a pretty

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>lengthy contract already. I think what I was my question was, Uh,

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>let's say we went into another situation where we bring

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>in a guy like Cooper the way we did a

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>few years ago. Would that money be enough? You know,

0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>would it make a difference in bringing someone else in

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that the Cowboys might feel that they needed that was

0:28:56.520 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 1>out there on the market, depending depending on ever since,

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:02.720
<v Speaker 1>on how much the guy's base salary is, because that's

0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 1>all if you trade for a guy, you don't trade

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.960
<v Speaker 1>for the pro ration on the siding bonus. You just

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>trade for the base salaries, so you know, you know

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 1>had they I'll just give you an example, since everybody

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:19.720
<v Speaker 1>talking about Earl Thomas, you know, his base salary for

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 1>this year was a guaranteed ten million dollars, so if

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you traded for him, he would you would hit ten

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 1>million immediately on your salary cap. So you got to

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 1>be careful. Those things go into decisions to make trades

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 1>or not make trades. And if I remember correctly, when

0:29:37.160 --> 0:29:40.040
<v Speaker 1>they traded for Amari Cooper, he was still on his

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 1>first year salary, I mean his first contract, his rookie contracts,

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>so the base salary wasn't prohibitive to say, you know what,

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I can't give you all I gave you because I

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:55.440
<v Speaker 1>gotta pay that contract. You've got to give me some

0:29:55.920 --> 0:29:59.560
<v Speaker 1>draft choice relief, so that all goes into it. And

0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 1>for the team that does the trading, you know, the

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of his pro rated signing bonus all escalates into

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the salary cap immediately. So depending on how much you

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>had left, you got to take that on on your

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 1>salary cap. So to make a trade, you better have

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 1>some money left under the cap and no one more

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:24.800
<v Speaker 1>thing on contracts. A lot of talk about Deshaun Watson

0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 1>signing his contract and comparing it with Dak and Mickey,

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that truly is apples and oranges, considering the fact that

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Watson had two years left on his contract. The numbers

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>are out now on Watson's contract, and I think you

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>alluded to this or mentioned it yesterday, but just to

0:30:40.480 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 1>inhas reemphasize it. The numbers that I'm looking at. Rather

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 1>than a four year, one hundred and fifty six million

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>dollar extension, it really is a four year, one hundred

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:55.440
<v Speaker 1>eleven point eight nine million dollar contract. Because the Texans

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty four, after four years can get out

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:01.719
<v Speaker 1>of that contact with just a five point four million

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:05.640
<v Speaker 1>dollar dead cap hit in twenty twenty four, and so

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the average that is around what twenty eight million dollars

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:12.600
<v Speaker 1>rather than the forty million dollars. Yeah, absolutely, you know,

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and no one, no one, And I don't know why.

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not that hard to look that stuff up, right,

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 1>but everybody wants to put out there what the agent

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>wants out there, four years, one hundred and sixty million. Well, no,

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:27.480
<v Speaker 1>he's still got two years on his original contract, so

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a six year deal, and you take what they

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 1>owed him for the next two years and base salary

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>added to the one fifty six and you don't get

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>more than one eighty and six years at one eighties

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty million, So I don't know that that just blows

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 1>what the Cowboys were offering Dak right out of the

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>out of the water. It's basically he got a nice contract.

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 1>And the key thing for those guys that Dak and

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>his people didn't value is he just got guaranteed that money.

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And he got a twenty seven million dollars signing bonus

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>in the bank today, which Dad could have had fifty

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>million in the bank today, but that wasn't enough. And

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 1>so you know, to me, and I've always said this,

0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and I hadn't changed my mind. Not knowing if you

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 1>were going to play this year or not not knowing

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>what the money was going to be. To get fifty

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:28.720
<v Speaker 1>million in the bank in April May June, boy, that's

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:35.640

<v Speaker 1>at a loss of time. Job. One thing that was

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:19.920
<v Speaker 1>brought up in uh Mike McCarthy's press conference are the

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>sideline protocols and only eight in the box at this

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:28.919
<v Speaker 1>new stadium in Lackey, Bill. There's a lot of protocols

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that they've got to adhere to. UH. Number one, after

0:36:32.760 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>you get past the players on your traveling squad, UH,

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you're only allowed seventy more people to travel. And that

0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:44.799
<v Speaker 1>includes an entire coaching staff that numbers like twenty five

0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:48.879
<v Speaker 1>to thirty and anybody else you bring along. Also, there's

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:51.359
<v Speaker 1>a limit to how many people can be in the

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 1>bench area that aren't coaches or aren't medical people. You

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 1>got to count all these folks and they've they've only

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:03.640
<v Speaker 1>got so many. And you've got to be in tier

0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 1>one or tier two to be in that area, which

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:10.439
<v Speaker 1>means which means you got to be you're you're one

0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of the people that are being tested daily daily. UH.

0:37:14.640 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 1>And if and if anybody's gonna go with you that

0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been tested daily, you better start this week early

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and start getting tested, uh, if you're gonna be on

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:28.719
<v Speaker 1>the field. So field access is going to be really restricted.

0:37:29.400 --> 0:37:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Along with the size of the booth. They're only going

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:34.800
<v Speaker 1>to allow so many in there, so they're not packed

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:38.920
<v Speaker 1>in there like sardines. Uh. And and they got to

0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:41.959
<v Speaker 1>try to social distance. So there's a lot of protocols

0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that the coaches the players have to adhere to. UH

0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 1>not to mention the testing that will go on before

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 1>they get on the plane, and then after they get

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to the hotel, uh, they're not allowed to leave, and

0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:00.239
<v Speaker 1>they're not allowed to have their buffet dinner or as

0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:07.240
<v Speaker 1>a team dinner. Everything's got to be individual either contactless

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:11.920
<v Speaker 1>delivery or room service to your room, or if you're

0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:15.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna use the restaurant in the hotel for the guys

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to eat at, the restaurant has to close down to

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the public. So there's a lot of restrictions for teams traveling,

0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and I would imagine the teams tomorrow are are going

0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:27.640
<v Speaker 1>to be the first ones they have to go through

0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>all this. So if the players got to order a

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:33.480
<v Speaker 1>room service, how much perdem are they getting? Are you

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:36.480
<v Speaker 1>ever tried to order room service in La there? Per

0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 1>diem will more than cover it. We used to get

0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:48.200
<v Speaker 1>We used to get one like twenty one padium and

0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:50.400
<v Speaker 1>then we would all gambler the way on the plane,

0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 1>on the way to wear we were going. So the

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty one dollars didn't really mean much at all, all right,

0:38:56.000 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 1>So get ready the Patriots play the Dolphins, and of course,

0:39:01.280 --> 0:39:05.239
<v Speaker 1>a former Patriots assistant coach, Brian Flores, the head coach

0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:09.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Dolphins. I guarantee you there's gonna be sideline

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.000
<v Speaker 1>gate coming out of the Patriots game this weekend. Bill

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Belichick's gonna have too many people and on the sideline,

0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:18.080
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna do some counting. I'll guarantee you. They probably

0:39:18.120 --> 0:39:21.520
<v Speaker 1>only give out so many passes. So if you if

0:39:21.520 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you have too many on the sideline, is it a

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>sideline violation? Can you get penalized during the game? What's

0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 1>what's the enforcement people on the field. It's kind of

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like hockey, right, when you make a bad game, they

0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:34.320
<v Speaker 1>would probably they would probably get fined. They would probably

0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:37.560
<v Speaker 1>get fined afterwards, maybe right. I mean, I don't know

0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 1>if they would penalize them there. I think they would

0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:42.279
<v Speaker 1>probably find them after the game. There'll be a lot

0:39:42.320 --> 0:39:46.439
<v Speaker 1>of video searching to see who kept up with all

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the priorities and things of that nature. I want to

0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 1>ask about the you know, like when they once they

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:56.120
<v Speaker 1>come off the field doing timeout SPADs. I see it

0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:59.880
<v Speaker 1>in NBA where they try to keep a little social distancing,

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but the only dealing with about five to seven people

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 1>at a time. You know, now you're looking at at

0:40:07.080 --> 0:40:10.520
<v Speaker 1>least eleven guys that are going to be huddled up.

0:40:10.600 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's say they have a timeout. Something important is going on.

0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 1>They're not trying to social distance with eleven guys in football, uniflies,

0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:21.399
<v Speaker 1>are they? I mean I don't think so. I mean

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you mean, like if there's a time out and you

0:40:23.440 --> 0:40:27.240
<v Speaker 1>bring out the whole offense to the sideline to talk, Yeah,

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I haven't. I have seen anything on that, but they

0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:34.600
<v Speaker 1>have suggested heavily if you're on the sideline to you know,

0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:38.640
<v Speaker 1>wear a mask. They're not gonna mandate it, but they're

0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:42.160
<v Speaker 1>heavily suggesting. And Mike McCarthy talked about that the other

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:45.600
<v Speaker 1>day about you know, him getting used to coaching with

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the mask on from the sideline. So, uh, you know,

0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:53.360
<v Speaker 1>if I'm in a like Kellen Moore, you know you

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta call plays boy, you better practice enunciating with a

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:59.400
<v Speaker 1>mask on, if that's what you've got to do talking

0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to the court back right, you can't understand, you can't

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:07.480
<v Speaker 1>understand anybody. Yeah, everything is muffled. It's well, there's no

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:09.200
<v Speaker 1>cry to worry about. Say, they don't have to worry

0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:11.919
<v Speaker 1>about the noise, but I'm sure they'll have some type

0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:15.239
<v Speaker 1>of pipe music coming in well. And so when you

0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:17.279
<v Speaker 1>look at that, I think that would be a that's

0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a major concern to me. And it's not just doing

0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:23.680
<v Speaker 1>timeouts bags. It's like when the defense comes off the field,

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:26.359
<v Speaker 1>we gotta get together and talk about it, you know.

0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And so once we're doing that, you're not just dealing

0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:31.200
<v Speaker 1>with eleven guys. You're dealing with more because you got

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.279
<v Speaker 1>substitutions that'll come in on third down, so you have

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:35.399
<v Speaker 1>to deal with those that personnel. You have to deal

0:41:35.400 --> 0:41:36.880
<v Speaker 1>with the guys that are backing up, and you might

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:40.200
<v Speaker 1>be shuttling in different players different positions. That kind of

0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:45.279
<v Speaker 1>thing seems a little dangerous because these players, they're not

0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:48.479
<v Speaker 1>in a bubble the way the NBA was. They didn't

0:41:48.480 --> 0:41:52.239
<v Speaker 1>bring in their families until playoff time. But but here

0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you've got players going back home after the games. Absolutely.

0:41:56.360 --> 0:41:58.239
<v Speaker 1>But you know, if you look at the NBA when

0:41:58.280 --> 0:42:01.000
<v Speaker 1>they when they have a timeout, they huddle up there.

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:04.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, they've got guys that sit the extras are

0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:08.880
<v Speaker 1>sitting in their seats, but the coaches in the middle

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:11.719
<v Speaker 1>of a huddle with five or six guys, and I

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.240
<v Speaker 1>would imagine, you know, I just think with the amount

0:42:14.280 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of testing, because these guys have to have to test

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:21.160
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, they have to test on Saturday before they

0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:25.720
<v Speaker 1>get on the plane, and then Sunday. From what I've read,

0:42:26.080 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you've got to do a temperature check before you leave

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the hotel, and then you got to do a temperature

0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:35.000
<v Speaker 1>check before you enter the stadium. Now I understand you

0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:38.320
<v Speaker 1>can probably pass the temperature check, can still be infected,

0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:42.440
<v Speaker 1>but I think with that amount of precautions, uh, you know,

0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:45.680
<v Speaker 1>once you get on the field, that you should be okay,

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's what they're hoping for. So yeah, okay, okay.

0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:52.719
<v Speaker 1>So then in a situation like the Cowboys are in

0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:56.239
<v Speaker 1>this week where they're traveling to LA, how many of

0:42:56.320 --> 0:43:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the and not knowing for sure who's passing all those

0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 1>tests leading up to the time the charter leaves. Okay,

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:07.520
<v Speaker 1>how many on the practice squad are going to travel

0:43:07.560 --> 0:43:12.319
<v Speaker 1>with the team in case they have a breakout? Yeah? Absolutely,

0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:15.719
<v Speaker 1>And I would imagine, you know, you're not going to

0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 1>take an extra sixteen guys because that'll count against your total,

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 1>but you'll probably take some of those guys and at

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:26.719
<v Speaker 1>least take the four that you protected that no one

0:43:26.760 --> 0:43:29.480
<v Speaker 1>could sign that you say, okay, these guys are important

0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to what's going on. But you know, like even before that,

0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you remember when Kellen Moore was traveling, he was on

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:39.200
<v Speaker 1>injured reserve and the Cowboys were bringing him along to

0:43:39.320 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>be an extra set of eyes on the sideline. You

0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:45.000
<v Speaker 1>can bring some of those guys, and you can bring

0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:48.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you'll bring the guys and I would

0:43:48.040 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 1>imagine everybody's gonna have eight offensive linemen so they could

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:55.239
<v Speaker 1>at least expand the game day roster to fifty five

0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:58.319
<v Speaker 1>before you have to cut back to forty eight. So

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you'll have some extra guys. And the the testing on

0:44:04.760 --> 0:44:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Saturday is a point of contact testing where you find

0:44:08.760 --> 0:44:12.280
<v Speaker 1>out the results immediately. You don't have to wait twenty

0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:16.240
<v Speaker 1>four hours. But so so there will be some practice

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:19.239
<v Speaker 1>squad guys that have their bags, I would think so

0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and ready to go depending on those Saturday morning tests

0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:30.720
<v Speaker 1>and Bakers Jerry, if they have to, they're flying standby.

0:44:30.960 --> 0:44:35.239
<v Speaker 1>So if if they don't, if if the regular a

0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:38.040
<v Speaker 1>guy on the fifty three or fifty five doesn't pass

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the test, then you get on the charter. Otherwise you

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:43.160
<v Speaker 1>got you gotta get on Jeremy. You have to get

0:44:43.200 --> 0:44:47.319
<v Speaker 1>on Jerry's private plane if you're gonna come late. My

0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:50.080
<v Speaker 1>questions bags is we used to have to If I'm

0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:52.960
<v Speaker 1>not mistaken, didn't we have to fly on the plane

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:58.759
<v Speaker 1>with you guys? Media on this plane? No media? So

0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:00.800
<v Speaker 1>what what? So? How do you what do you guys?

0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you guys? I think from from what I've been

0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:07.680
<v Speaker 1>told from the guys at the newspapers, they're probably at

0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 1>least traveling to the first game because everybody's worried about

0:45:11.320 --> 0:45:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the social injustice protests and if the TV doesn't show it,

0:45:15.520 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>then you'll never see what took place. So I think

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:21.399
<v Speaker 1>they want their guys there. But after that, I don't

0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:23.880
<v Speaker 1>know how much they're going to travel. I mean, if

0:45:23.920 --> 0:45:27.640
<v Speaker 1>you look at what's going on with the hockey UH

0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and the NBA. The NBA only let so many media

0:45:31.560 --> 0:45:35.560
<v Speaker 1>people into the bubble, uh, the NHL not very many.

0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:38.919
<v Speaker 1>And I think the local newspapers here did not send

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:42.080
<v Speaker 1>anybody to Edmonton to cover the stars. They're doing it

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:46.160
<v Speaker 1>off a TV and the virtual interviews, so and you

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:48.359
<v Speaker 1>know what, and even if you drop into the game,

0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 1>you're going to listen to the interviews. In the press

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 1>box because they're not going to let you in the

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 1>locker room. The only people being yeah, you can't even

0:45:55.480 --> 0:45:58.160
<v Speaker 1>get down on that level. And there's no and I

0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:00.439
<v Speaker 1>can tell you the TV stations, none of the TV

0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:03.919
<v Speaker 1>stations are sending there's no hanging out on the field beforehand,

0:46:04.360 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 1>uh during warmups either that's all been restricted, right and

0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the other thing and we gotta we gotta go. But

0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:17.480
<v Speaker 1>for local TV stations, there's no access down on the field.

0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:20.560
<v Speaker 1>They're up in the stands shooting at a low level

0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:23.280
<v Speaker 1>what they and they're in a stationary spot and usually

0:46:23.360 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 1>they would roam the sidelines and not anymore, not not

0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:28.600
<v Speaker 1>during this. All right, how does it for mick shots?

0:46:28.760 --> 0:46:32.800
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna break down those matchups? Everson is all prepared

0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:37.000
<v Speaker 1>for this tomorrow Cowboys versus Rams, Mick shots again one

0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:40.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty tomorrow afternoon. See you next time. Thanks guys. This

0:46:40.440 --> 0:46:43.239
<v Speaker 1>has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
