<v Speaker 1>The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick shot

<v Speaker 1>screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and Nicky Spagnola. And here we are inside the s

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>WBC Mortgage studios at Ford Center at the Star in Frisco.

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And there they were the Cowboys out on the practice field.

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Bill Jones, Mickey Spagnola, Everson Walls with his Cowboys star

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>on at his own personal studio. How you doing, Everson,

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing just fine, sir. Yes. And it was great

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to see the Cowboys out on the practice field. It's

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>been a while since we've been able to see them

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>on the practice field. Mickey. Yes, although in on the

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>practice field, not out on the practice field. They were indoors.

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I say, when you're out of the locker room, they're

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>out on the practice field. I thought it was I

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a scene of like the Majestic uh

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Serengetti with the wildebeeste you know, grazing. Is that you

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>know you talked about seeing around the practice field. Yeah, yeah,

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't that house fact, No, no, it wasn't. But

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>it was good to see the special teams and the

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>COVID protocoling out on the practice. It doesn't matter whether

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>it's indoors or out, or you're still in intense COVID

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>protocol or further intensified. I should say, um, but yeah, good,

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>good to uh, you know, see a little football and

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>after the bye week and get back in practice and

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>uh they had you know, several guys that were back

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>in practice for the first time. Well, I guess they

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>did the kind of walk through Mick practice that they

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>did on Monday, but we didn't get to see that.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't count, all right. So off of removed

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>from the COVID nineteen reserve list were Andy Dalton and

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Tyrone Crawford. So Crawford will be ready to go. Another

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>benefit of having the bye last week because he wouldn't

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.839
<v Speaker 1>have played last week, and who knows if Dalton would

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.239
<v Speaker 1>have played last week. So they're off. And the thing

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that I thought was most encouraging was they started the

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty one day practice period for Brandon Knight to bring

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>him off of injured reserve, and he was moving pretty

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>well in those individual drills. Now, I don't know how

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>much they want him to do. But he had his

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>knee scope for a torn meniscus, and normally those things

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>take around three weeks or so to return, unless you're

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Jay Novachek and you basically have your surgery, you missed

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the you take the bye week and are ready for

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs the next week. I think that occurred. It

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>was the ninety five season, if I remember. Makes me

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>so mad because you're you're talking about it. I got you.

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about a guy in two forty. There's a

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>difference between a guy two forty and three fifteen. Yeah,

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and it always just takes a little bit more to

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.679
<v Speaker 1>get ready. You know. That's happened. A little bit more

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 1>has happened to one of my I think I've told

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys this before, one of my tennis doubles partners. Uh,

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>he was going to have meniscus repair, and I said, oh,

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.679
<v Speaker 1>you'll be back in three weeks. You know. Well, Jane

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Novichek wasn't probably forty eight years old when he had

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the surgery, right, and three months later, three months later,

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>she goes, what happened to that three week thing? I

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>still can't get out. I said, you've been hanging around

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>too many top notch athletes, right, yeah, everything I said.

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>It makes me so mad when I hear anybody coming back,

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>even within three weeks or whenever, from a meniscus in reality,

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>partially torn meniscus from jogging like nine years ago, and

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the doctor told me, Oh, if you were an athlete,

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>i'd say surgery, But you're not an athlete, so you

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>just go ride an elliptical or get on an elliptical

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>or ride a bite the rest of your life. And

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>here I am y for years and I can't even

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>jog down a basketball court without my knee. Man, I

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>could have done it nine years and so I tried

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to get it done, like last summer and not this

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>COVID summer, but the summer before. Yeah, I'm too old

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>now because because at my age, it's like there's too

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>much of a chance of arthritis. But if I would

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>have done it nine years ago, the insurance would have said,

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>no problem. But anyway, go ahead. Don't don't feel bad

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>at night when I no. No, we have to be

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 1>we have to be clear those fags. We have to

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>be clear. Bill, you would never an athlete literally understand that,

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>don't really it wasn't really the age. Yeah right, the doctor,

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>he figured it out real quick. You're not an athlete.

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>So when I when I fractured my fifth meta tarsel

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>in my left foot, I got told the same thing.

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 1>The doctor said, Well, if you were an athlete, we'd

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>do surgery, put a pin in there, and you'd be

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>back in two to three weeks, he goes, But since

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you're not three months or so, you so, so the

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>lesson for all of you out there. All right, the

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>doctor tells you you're not an athlete, don't believe him.

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Believe doctor Jones. Please, all right, thank you, go ahead.

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, and one person who wasn't at practice, haven't

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>got a reason for it yet, but I don't think

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 1>it's serious. Randy Gregory wasn't wasn't out there, So we'll

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>see where that goes when the official injury report. We

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 1>really out there. Defense on Andy. Good to see a

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Woozier out there, and uh so kind of a trade

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>off there. They're putting digs on IR and and um

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>a Woozier's uh activated off of IR. So we'll see

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>where that one goes. So that was kind of the

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>practice update. Um you know, more special teams and the other.

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>The other thing he mentioned when he Mike was asked

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>about citing another punter and put him on practice on

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the practice squad, he mentioned Chris So I meant to

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess he meant Chris Jones who had the surgery,

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and and that you know, within a week or so,

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 1>he should be at least able to uh come back

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and be the backup punter if they stay with miss

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>core muscle. Okay, it was the same thing um Sean

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Lee had, and he had that two weeks ago. It

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>was so he could be it was after backup. Yes,

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but that was his answer, right. He said, well,

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Chris will be back out there. I didn't see him

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>out there, but we'll see where. We'll see where that

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 1>one goes too. So they basically said nice Wander will

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>be the punter going forward. They had worked out Mark

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 1>at King. The only thing I remember about that guy,

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys, was that when the Raiders came here for

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a preseason game during warmups, he tried as hard as

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>he could to hit the video board, like kicking the

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>ball straight up in the air, and he did hit

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>it right, And I remember I can't remember who it was.

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>It was one of those special teams coaches or assistant

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>coaches they go, yeah, but when you're in a game,

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to stand there and kick the ball

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>straight up in the air. You do need some distance, right,

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>So but yeah, he celebrated that he hit the board.

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>And the big thing on the on the punter. And

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>why why the punter is an issue since the Cowboys

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>have a Thursday game after a Sunday game, and just

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>with the COVID protocol, if anything happened to Nice Wander,

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't get another punter in here and getting cleared

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>through COVID protocol before the Thursday game, right, so you

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>might have to rely on Zeroline. If you know Zirlin is, well,

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what I saw him, he can handle. I

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>saw him doing some trick shot artists stuff out there.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.679
<v Speaker 1>He was bouncing the ball, uh, and it was coming

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>up about I don't know, two feet three feet and

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>then he was kicking it out in the air. Well,

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>here's the other thing. With Fossil and McCarthy there, they

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>would just fake the punt anyway, right, So absolutely no

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>sense worrying about that anyway. I think you're right, Bill,

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he gives us a few more options that

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you may not have with with some other kickers. I

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>love the leg is very He's just innovative before you

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>go off. In fact, reminds me a lot of Matt

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 1>Barr when I was with the New York Giants. Just

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>guys that are novelties at everything that they do. And

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>then they they did sign Brelan speak defensive tackle us.

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>He's on the roster is an exception, so I assume

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>that means till he passes the COVID testing. UH. He

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>was a second round pick of Kansas City UH in

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen. A matter of fact, he was their first

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>draft choice, sort of the Tristan Hill type, because they

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a first round pick. He played that first

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>year with the Raiders, I mean with the Chiefs. Sorry.

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>He started four of the sixteen games he played and

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>then was injured coming out of training camp in twenty nineteen.

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.439
<v Speaker 1>They placed him on IR and then he got suspended

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>four games for violation of substance abuse policy, so he

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>missed the whole twenty nineteen season. He went to training

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>camp with him this year. He was released on the

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 1>final cuts and then a month later the Raiders picked

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>him up, kept him for a month, and then released him.

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>So the Cowboys are going to take a look at

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>this guy. They you know, they're finding all these guys

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>that they are just sitting there and might as well

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>look at him, put him on the practice. The other

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>thing he consider about speaks. So he was a second

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 1>round pick in twenty eighteen and they were running a

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>three four and they switched to a four to three.

0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>And so the only thing that the main thing that

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>intrigued me about signing Speaks is at six three two

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>eighty five or whatever, he is five technique in a

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>three four defense, he might fit that mold more so, Yeah, yeah,

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>that that could be. But they just need to stick

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>with that four three right right, exactly right, and especially

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>looking future, looking for future, I'm not looking for right now.

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking down down the road. Yeah. If if indeed

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>they want to go to a three four eventually, well

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>they just better be able to play that four three

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>against what's getting ready to slam in their face on Sunday.

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:41.719
<v Speaker 1>That's right, Gary Kubiak's offense with the Minnesota Yeah. I

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>wonder how much if it's Kubiak, and how much they

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>stayed in what Stefanski had been doing their last year,

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>especially running the ball, and Mike Zimmer in his conference

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.439
<v Speaker 1>called it a made made mention of that about their

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of outside what do they call it outside zone

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that they run getting the ball, and he talked about

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>what you need, and you need athletic offensive lineman. Obviously

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you need a good running back and a guy that

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>can catch the football too, and uh, Dalvin Cook, as

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:16.599
<v Speaker 1>we know, is all that. So uh, that's probably priority

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>number one for the god Boys. They gotta shut down

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the chef. Well his nickname, by the way, if you

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that, Alvin the chef Cook. Okay, all right,

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry I blanked out a little bit because I

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>had no I figured I better throw the Cook, so

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys get it Dalvin. But my son's a chef,

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>so I should have known this. Just you caught me

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>off guard. But then and one of the things start

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this offense, those fags, this this is something

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that you know the Browns were successful with. I'm surprised

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 1>other teams didn't try it on us after what they

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 1>saw Cleveland doing. I would imagine they just didn't want

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to come out of their own game plan. Figure and

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that would be their own recipe for defeat if they

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>were to change their game plan just to suit what

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>they saw was successful by other teams. This is gonna

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 1>be a This is gonna be a tough game. Well,

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>first of all, it's gonna be tough for us to

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>try and predict, because as much as I'm trying to

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 1>pull for the Cowboys, I have to see that they

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>are they have They're gonna be successful and have made

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the adapt Have they have adapted to what they saw

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 1>in Cleveland? Obviously they hadn't seen that offense since so

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>last time they did see it. You're looking at almost

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>three hundred yards rushing, so got deleting. I'm sorry, you're

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>looking at over three So when you so, so, when

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you think of the leading Russia're coming in here, I'm

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 1>very nervous about this, but also I'm kind of excited

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to see just what kind of adjustments the Cowboys coaching

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>staff is gonna make. This is gonna be an indictment

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>on them as much as it is on the players. Well,

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, Mike Zimmer was asked about had

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you take a look at what happened with Cleveland? And

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>he said, oh yeah, he goes, you know, we'll we'll

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>look at that, but that's not the only thing we'll

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>look at. But obviously they kind of ran similar to

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 1>what the Vikings do now. So uh yeah, he said,

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>they take a serious look at why Cleveland was able

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to run for three hundred and seven yards. But I

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>remember the end a round. If we take the end

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a round out of it, then I don't really have

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 1>three hundred, right, and yeah there was two sixty instead.

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just really just just got there. Then that's like

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks later the Arizona game and you

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>take the quarterback run out and the Cardinals didn't run

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>for as many he gets them either or or the

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>last or the last sixty nine yard touchdown eighty yard

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>drive Kenyan Drake right end, you know, and it was

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 1>garbage time and they probably didn't throw for as much

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>if you take out the eighty yard touchdown pass to

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Kirk right. So if if you didn't look at the

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 1>way we look at it, the Cowboys have a great

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>year going. Yeah, I try, you've got if you got

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>rid of the turnovers, you know, you know the other

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>thing on the offensive line, Rick Denison, I spoke, I

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>think it was yesterday about how the Vikings had a

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>transition on their offensive line after Tony Sperrano tragically passed

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>away just prior to the season a couple of years ago,

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and Rick Dennison became their offensive line coach. And Dennison

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 1>has those same routes with Kubiak and Stefanski was with

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>him last year. Now Stefanski went to Cleveland and Bill

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Callahan as his offensive line coach, which who's one of

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the best, if not the best, in the business the

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>offensive line coach. So anyway, speaking of offensive line coaches,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>well you go, you want to what's going on with

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the Giants. Now you're four familiar with what's going on

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>there than I am, so you have had it. Well.

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Former Cowboys offensive line coach who ended up with the

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Giants when they didn't retain them, Mark Colombo got fired

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 1>today and the report that came out as he and

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Joe Judge got in a fight. Now I don't know

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>if it said before he got fired or after he

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>got fired, but they had a replacement already there for

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks. They he and let's see

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>if I can say it did did Julielmo did Julie Mo.

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Way too many letters coming from Italian. I think I

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>got close to it to D gug L I E

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>l m O and you know he's got and you

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 1>know what, And I've seen three different stories and his

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 1>last name was spelled three different ways, and no one

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>got it. I don't know which is right, because one

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 1>hand round two and then capitol G and the other

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>one was D E. Capel. Right, I'm just trying to

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>So it was apparently a fist fight this morning between

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Judge and I'm just trying to picture if Jason's first

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to break it up. Yeah, that's where I was

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>handed Bill. Now you gotta remember Jason probably sicked him

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 1>on him. I go get them, you know. And the

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>weird thing is is their offensive line played better the

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>last couple of weeks. They've been they've been thank you,

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 1>they played well, right, I've been watching them. They actually

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>do improving their first round. Actually started to play better

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>at left tackle when they didn't assume as Thomas is

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>that Yeah, yeah, left tackle, left tackle. And this is

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>their bye week. Oh it is for the Giant. Oh

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 1>so they had too much time on their ya that's tried,

0:16:54.560 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 1>idn't hands Devil's workshop. So so I'm Jason Garrett. Jason

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Garrett is in the wings. Jason Garrett is probably Colombo's

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 1>corner man, right just in case he gets a cut. Well,

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's why Colombo get hired there. Obviously. I

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they brought their fighting should Judge is looking

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 1>at Jason kind of side eye right now, like, what's up? Man?

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Do this on purpose? What a set up? I wonder

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:30.439
<v Speaker 1>if they brought their training camp fight T shirts with them.

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Colombo showed up with the Cowboy fight T shirt on today,

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what happened. You're fired. Oh my gosh. Well, there's

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of firing going on out there on the

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 1>East Coast these days. I said there was a lot

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.879
<v Speaker 1>of firing going on out there on the East Coast

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:54.200
<v Speaker 1>or another one just that every day in one city,

0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:59.360

<v Speaker 1>kind of that's kind of what they were doing, Uh,

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. That's kind of what the NBA was doing

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>in Orlando on the bubble right, they had people being

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:26.920
<v Speaker 1>videoed virtually. Yeah, there you go. I wouldn't made attention

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to what I was reading. I was just trying to

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 1>make it under fifteen seconds. So yeah, that's what that said.

0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:35.920

<v Speaker 1>read what they write, and then you go just read

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 1>what they did. I just say that they think I

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.919
<v Speaker 1>came up with that. Yes, that's like, uh, that's like

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 1>my favorite broadcaster of all time. Ted Baxter on the

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Mary Tyler Moore Show. I thought you were gonna say,

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Ted Dawson, this just in there's something on your tie.

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>It was Ted Baxter. We are way too old, guys,

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>way way to anyone that's anyone that was born after

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy. I'm sorry, we apologized. I don't know my

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 1>daughter enjoys that dad humor. Yep, that's right, all right, Hey, Mickey,

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 1>speaking of bad humor, what else you got? Um So,

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I keep hearing this about um Andy Dalton like he

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what he was doing when he was out there.

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I think first of all, everybody forgot how he finished

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 1>off the Giants game after Dak got hurt nine out

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of eleven, and he led him to the two drives

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the kick field goals to be able to win the game,

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:24.240
<v Speaker 1>and then everybody kind of remembers that they got beat

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:29.400
<v Speaker 1>so bad by Arizona. What it ended up forty thirty

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>eight ten was that what it was um and and

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and he ended up completing thirty four of fifty four

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>passes for two hundred and sixty six yards. But remember

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 1>they kind of fell behind, like thirty one to three, right,

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 1>but kind of here's what everybody running back kind of

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 1>fumbled it away. Here's what everybody forgets it was. It

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>was midway through the first quarter. There were five h

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>seven left in the first quarter when uh Zack Martin

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 1>went out with a concussion. What quarter the first first

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:09.120
<v Speaker 1>quarter of Arizona play two games basically without Zach Mark

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:14.400
<v Speaker 1>with backup, backup guys. And again here's what they had

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.919
<v Speaker 1>out there. They had two rookies out there at the

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>same time, Steele at right tackle. Beotish was playing in

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:28.159
<v Speaker 1>his second start. UH Connor Williams was the senior member

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of that offensive line h in his third year, and

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 1>mcgoverning came in for Zach Martin at right guard and

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:40.439
<v Speaker 1>he was playing his first snaps in the NFL. In

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, So that's what the protection was for for

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Andy Dalton and guess what he got sacked three times,

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>He got hit eight times. They had seven tackles for

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:59.119
<v Speaker 1>losses against the Cowboys and seven passes defense. They lost

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>two fumbles there were two interceptions, and the one was

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 1>when Kurtpatrick is it Kurtpatrick? He grabbed a CD lamb

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>from behind and tackle and then the ball went right

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 1>to him. So I don't want to hear this stuff

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 1>that Andy Dalton can't do as good, if not better

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 1>than when Garrett Gilbert did. And nothing against Garrett Gilbert,

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 1>he did fine. But Everson, you know, you pointed out

0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:28.920
<v Speaker 1>that that one play where where he missed Cooper for

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.119
<v Speaker 1>basically a touchdown and he went underneath there was a

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>pass underneath. He dumped it off at you did it

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to Pollard or the first drive game? Yeah, did you

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 1>see it? He had him in the slot. Yea, And

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the field was wide open and

0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Cooper's break into his right he was coming out of

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the left slot and he had a touchdown pass and

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:50.160
<v Speaker 1>he never looked there. He looked there before the play

0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 1>started and then was looking the other way. So, you know,

0:25:53.960 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and having said that, the quarterbacks looking. But but that

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 1>was the matchup that they wanted. He would have got

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:06.160
<v Speaker 1>there at time. And so sometimes it's not it's it's

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 1>it's sometimes it's not what you do, it's what you

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 1>don't do. Sometimes they to get a quarterback in trouble

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 1>because you gotta make well. So anyway, point that out

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 1>for everybody that looks at that Arizona game, Hold they

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 1>only scored one touchdown, they only had ten points, Well,

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a damn good reason why. Because that offensive

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 1>line was really struggling against that Arizona front. So that

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 1>when you're a quarterback behind a young offensive line like that,

0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 1>you don't expect to have much help or much time.

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't anticipate that, and if you play for that,

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:45.480
<v Speaker 1>then you're fooling yourself. And that I think everything showed

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 1>up because of the pressure, is because of the hits

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and because of the sacks. It lets you know that

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 1>he was gonna be in for a rough game regardless.

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>It was up to him to try and stand in

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:58.920
<v Speaker 1>there and make it happen. But when it comes down

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to it, we were clearly, no doubt overmatched offensively. That's

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:06.560
<v Speaker 1>why you need more than one facet of the game.

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I keep talking about that, That's why the defense has

0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to come to play. If my offense puts me in

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 1>us in a bind defensively and they threw an interception

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:19.680
<v Speaker 1>or cause a turnover, and let's say it's deepen on territory.

0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't mean defensively, we just threw up our hands

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and go, oh well, it's time for the other part

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.879
<v Speaker 1>of the team to come through. It's time for you

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:30.159
<v Speaker 1>to help your other part of the ball. You know,

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:32.320
<v Speaker 1>those guys on the other side of the ball. Those

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 1>are the kind of thing that's the mentality that winning

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:40.160
<v Speaker 1>teams have. It's nothing unusual, it's no novelty. Winning teams

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 1>do that all the times. Teams with good culture of

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:46.879
<v Speaker 1>helping out the guys on the other side of the ball.

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 1>That is created through time, and the Cowboys just don't

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 1>have that right now. And remember in that game too,

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:59.639
<v Speaker 1>it was Arizona. It was zero zero after the first quarter,

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, the Cowboys fumble. Arizona

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>gets the ball at their forty six touchdown. Zeke fumbled again.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Those two possessions in a row. They get the ball,

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys twenty seven touchdown, and they hit it, and

0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:15.199
<v Speaker 1>then they hit the eighty yard bomb touch twenty one

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 1>another it's twenty one to nothing. That had Now you're

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.440
<v Speaker 1>throwing the ball fifty four times and then you're driving

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 1>down the first drive of the third quarter and you

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:24.879
<v Speaker 1>had the holding call that was ten interception, and the

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals rattle off like twenty like three twenty yard runs.

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:31.399
<v Speaker 1>The defense couldn't stop him, and now all of a sudden,

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it's twenty eight to nothing or whoever was and and

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 1>it was let me take you to the Washington game. Okay, okay,

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Obviously the Washington game you had the sack fumble in

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>the end zone or it was a safety. Shultz recovered

0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in the end zone for a safety, and then the

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 1>defense couldn't stop him. When after the pre kick and

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>his nine nothing you're in a nine nothing hole. Cowboys

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 1>came down to make it a nine three game. It's

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 1>a nine three game. I'm looking at the play by

0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 1>play on it right now, and this is early second

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>quarter a nine three game. And remember the CD Lamb drop.

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>It was on a second and ten on a slant in.

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.719
<v Speaker 1>CD drops it in and CD might have gone all

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 1>the way on that thing instead Instead, two plays later,

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys decided to go for it at the forty

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:22.400
<v Speaker 1>five yard line on fourth and one with an offensive

0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>line that was a state of what we all know

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 1>what it was like, and they threw an incomplete pass

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Chase Young pressure on the play Washington, then two plays

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 1>later touchdown to McLarin over Treyvon Diggs, and it's now

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, what could have been a ten

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>nine Cowboys lead if CD holds on or at least

0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 1>they're in position to make even get down in a

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>field goal range for a nine to six game, instead

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.200
<v Speaker 1>of that all of a sudden by going forward on

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>fourth down at midfield, two plays later, you're down. You're

0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in a fifteen to three hole. And if I remember

0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:59.479
<v Speaker 1>in that Arizona game, Gallup had to drop touchdown right

0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:02.440
<v Speaker 1>now'll take get a step further. Next possession for the

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys down fifteen to three. They got the ball at

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the thirty six yard line, and that right guard Connor

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 1>McGovern who's in there for Zach Martin on third and nine,

0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the football team blitzes. McGovern doesn't pick up the blitz

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 1>they were the linebacker Holcombe came, he went and took

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the safety instead. Holcomb comes up the middle. Zeke's in

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 1>no position to pick up the linebacker sack of Dalton

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and you're punting the ball away and you can't stop

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>him again. And now it's dear down twenty two to

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>three with three minutes left in the second quarter, and

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 1>then you get the contrition. Yeah, but Andy Dalton camp

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 1>play and I'm thinking I'm sinking into my couch right

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 1>about name right exactly, know, just drending everything has happening

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to doing the ball game and saying deja vu all

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:49.040
<v Speaker 1>over the game. So the point of all this is,

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 1>let's see what Andy Dalton can do. Yeah, give him

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a fair shot. I mean, and in fact, I think

0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a greater chance that Andy Dalton, considering Andy

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Dalton's situation where he lives right here, there's a greater

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:05.240
<v Speaker 1>chance that Andy Dalton might take another one year deal

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>next year and he might be Dack's backup quarterback again

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 1>next year. We'll see. Let's see what the last seven

0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>games holds. And how about this little slice. So Mike

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Zimmer was asked, so you were with Cincinnati and you

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:24.400
<v Speaker 1>know all about Andy Dalton, and Mike goes, yeah, but

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 1>this is a different offense. He probably knows more about

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 1>what I do defensively than I know what he's gonna

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>do with this offense. Remember, very very Mike was the

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinator there before he went to Minnesota as the

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>head coach and Dalton was the quarterback when Dalton first

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 1>came into the league and was leading the Vikings to

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:51.000
<v Speaker 1>five straight playoff appearances, and I might add zero playoff wins. Right, well,

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 1>we know one of them. We can put on somebody,

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 1>a guy named pac Man Jones or no, no paying

0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 1>on pac Man. Pac Man was in Stewart. Thank you.

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 1>It's the perfect. Yeah, it's the perfect. Yeah. There you go,

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, we can Mick is going to come back

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:08.720
<v Speaker 1>in just a moment because he wanted to do this

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:12.640

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:15.240

<v Speaker 1>so I can look at Twitter. I've got to look.

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait. All right, Mickey, tell us about the

0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:37.239
<v Speaker 1>NFC East. Yes, So what we need to understand why

0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:40.319
<v Speaker 1>everybody keeps saying, uh, you know, the Cowboys are kind

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of still in this they're in last place two and seven. Uh,

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 1>they're only one win behind Philadelphia three to five and one.

0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Washington second at three and seven, or the Giants are

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>in second at three and seven, Washington is next at

0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:02.320
<v Speaker 1>two and seven, and the Cowboys, because they lost to Washington,

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 1>are technically in last place. But let's look at the

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:11.120
<v Speaker 1>remaining schedule of all these teams. Here's the Eagles. Here's

0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 1>their next five games. You tell me how they're gonna do.

0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:19.440
<v Speaker 1>They got to play Cleveland six Cleveland at Cleveland, they

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 1>six and three, They play Seattle six and three, They

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:27.280
<v Speaker 1>play Green Bay seven and two, they play New Orleans

0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:31.799
<v Speaker 1>seven and two, and they play Arizona six and three

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:34.800
<v Speaker 1>before they get to the Cowboys in Washington to finish

0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 1>off their next seven games. That is an opponent record

0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of thirty six and twenty seven with a point five

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>seven seven winning percentage. So you're telling me, headed to

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 1>week sixteen, the Eagles are going to be three ten

0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and one. They're going to be how many times I

0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:58.960
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna win in those five games? Right? What

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 1>are the percentage eleveland's Seattle, Green Bay, New Orleans and

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:08.280
<v Speaker 1>at Arizona A right, and always take those teams right there,

0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and take out the NFC East teams, that winning percentage

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:15.200
<v Speaker 1>is even more daunting. So I don't know if you

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:18.480
<v Speaker 1>got to calculate there, but you can take out the Yeah,

0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and they got the Giants and Cowboy and Everson. When

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:24.319
<v Speaker 1>I get done with this, remind me I've got a

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:27.480
<v Speaker 1>neat stat on that too, by the NFC East. Okay, Okay,

0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:32.960
<v Speaker 1>So now the Giants their next seven games Cincinnati two

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:38.160
<v Speaker 1>six and one, Seattle six and three, Arizona six and three,

0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland six and three, Baltimore six and three, and then

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they finished the season against the Cowboys. So their opponent

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>record twenty eight, twenty five and one, five eighteen winning percentage. Okay,

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:57.400
<v Speaker 1>then we go to so that's four teams with winning records.

0:37:57.680 --> 0:38:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you to the final Giants next week

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:05.879
<v Speaker 1>win at Cincinnati. Who knows, all right, Let's say they

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 1>don't win, all right, they don't win that means they're

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 1>to lose five in a row. That puts them at

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:11.680
<v Speaker 1>three and twelve going into the Dallas. Okay, so we

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:16.200
<v Speaker 1>got we got the Eagles at three ten and one

0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 1>going into the Dallas game Week sixteen, and we got

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the Giants at three and twelve going into the last

0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>game of the season against Dallas. Okay, there we go,

0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 1>all right. Now we go to Washington. They've got they've

0:38:28.719 --> 0:38:36.960
<v Speaker 1>got the soft serve one here their last seven games Cincinnati, Dallas, Pittsburgh,

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco, Seattle, Carolina, and then Philadelphia. So their opponent

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:47.360
<v Speaker 1>record is twenty nine thirty four and two for a

0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 1>four to forty six winning percentage. Now we know what

0:38:53.080 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys have left right at Minnesota, Washington, Baltimore, at Baltimore, Cincinnati,

0:39:01.680 --> 0:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco, the Giants, and Philadelphia. That opponent record is

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:12.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty three thirty four in two. So that's the worst

0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of all the teams in the NFC East, or maybe

0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I should say the best of whatever way you're looking

0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:21.880
<v Speaker 1>at it. But that opponent record is the lowest of

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:27.920
<v Speaker 1>any of them going So again, who knows the Cowboys

0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:30.239
<v Speaker 1>have to play one team with a winning record? I

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:33.360
<v Speaker 1>get it. Minnesota and San Francisco are both four and five.

0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Washington plays two teams with winning records, one that hasn't

0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 1>been beaten yet. Pittsburgh. The Giants five teams with winning

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 1>records and are four teams, and the Eagles with five teams.

0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:51.759
<v Speaker 1>So those teams and the Cowboys have already played all

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 1>these teams and basically lost, right if you look at it,

0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:59.839
<v Speaker 1>they lost the Seattle, Arizona, Cleveland, they got to play Baldimore, Yas.

0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 1>That's the Giants. And then for the Eagles, they've lost

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:08.399
<v Speaker 1>to Cleveland, Seattle, and Arizona along with Washington by the way,

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:11.279
<v Speaker 1>So those are the teams these guys got to play.

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:14.640
<v Speaker 1>So this is gonna be, This is gonna be. It's

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:16.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna go down to the wire. It's gonna be who

0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:20.480
<v Speaker 1>can win the NFC East games because there's gonna be

0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 1>tie then the division records going to be the tie breaker.

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:32.839
<v Speaker 1>You watch, now, go ahead, how about this Pittsburgh undefeated.

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 1>They're three and oh against the NFC East so far,

0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>they got one one left. Seattle is one and oh.

0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:42.680
<v Speaker 1>They beat the Cowboys, they got to play the other

0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:47.680
<v Speaker 1>three teams. The Rams swept the NFC East they're four

0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 1>and oh. They're two and three against the rest of

0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and Arizona two and oh. San Francisco now

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:57.160
<v Speaker 1>is one and one. So here's what I figured out

0:40:57.160 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>about the NFC West, because it's the toughest division, right

0:41:01.960 --> 0:41:05.000
<v Speaker 1>those teams are eight and one against the NFC East.

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Against the rest of the league, they're fourteen and fourteen.

0:41:13.120 --> 0:41:18.360
<v Speaker 1>So the NFC East is making the NFC West look great. Yes, absolutely,

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:28.640
<v Speaker 1>they've sot The NFC West total is twenty two and fifteen.

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:32.880
<v Speaker 1>But they're eight and one against the NFC East in

0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:36.000
<v Speaker 1>fourteen and fourteen against the rest of the league. So

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:40.120
<v Speaker 1>are they good pudding amongst themselves? Yeah? Yeah, are they good?

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:44.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't well maybe, but as bad as everybody says

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the NFC East is, they're making the NFC West, which

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.239
<v Speaker 1>is the division that has only one team with a

0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:55.759
<v Speaker 1>losing record. So, having said that, how many wins is

0:41:55.760 --> 0:42:01.439
<v Speaker 1>it going to take to win the NFC East six?

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Where do the Cowboys have to get to six? Ever?

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Since says five, five and eleven, I said five? Yeah?

0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 1>All right now, and keep in mind that since the

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Eagles have that tie against Cincinnati, if they win two

0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:20.480
<v Speaker 1>of the remaining seven games, they get to five, the

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys have to get to six. Right, So the Cowboys

0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:26.680
<v Speaker 1>would have to win four of their last seven, right.

0:42:27.160 --> 0:42:30.239
<v Speaker 1>I think if the Cowboys go four and three the

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:32.839
<v Speaker 1>rest of the way to get to six and ten

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:36.160
<v Speaker 1>on the season, they've got a pretty good shot at

0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:39.600
<v Speaker 1>winning the NFC East because I'm not sure that the

0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Eagles can win more than two. Yeah the way, I

0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:48.359
<v Speaker 1>mean what we So, that's that's why schedule to end it.

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:50.959
<v Speaker 1>That's why you don't give up. That's why you don't

0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:54.879
<v Speaker 1>give up. You just keep playing, and you're hoping that

0:42:55.239 --> 0:42:58.720
<v Speaker 1>these young guys that have been playing more continue to improve.

0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:01.760
<v Speaker 1>And we're gonna find out. We will find out about

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:06.040
<v Speaker 1>this run defense for sure on Sunday when they have

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:09.359
<v Speaker 1>to go up against the chef, which, by the way,

0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:13.600
<v Speaker 1>he has a and the other hold on he has

0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 1>a charity and good he has a charity. They have

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.359
<v Speaker 1>a food truck and he serves food out of the

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 1>food truck. I believe I read that's how the chef started,

0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 1>not to mention cook really yeah, it really interesting. Just

0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:31.640
<v Speaker 1>came up with it just because of the them. No,

0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna say the Eagles have the worst

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:37.959
<v Speaker 1>UH schedule or at least the toughest schedule to end it.

0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And so that, like you said, that does give the

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys a chance. But I don't want to start thinking

0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:48.040
<v Speaker 1>about tanking a season. First of all, we talked about

0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 1>this there, tanking. Maybe we did it and I didn't

0:43:50.520 --> 0:43:53.279
<v Speaker 1>know it right one in fifteen nineteen eighty nine, maybe

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:56.080
<v Speaker 1>we were taken. I thought we were playing hard. And

0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:59.279
<v Speaker 1>also two and fourteen, if I'm not mistaken, the two

0:43:59.320 --> 0:44:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and fourteen in thirteen to end Tom Ladry's season. Nobody

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:06.680
<v Speaker 1>ever thought about tanking, you know, nineteen eighty eight. I mean,

0:44:06.719 --> 0:44:09.920
<v Speaker 1>as bad as we were, it's just not part of

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:13.560
<v Speaker 1>your DNA as a as an organization. And let's look

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:16.440
<v Speaker 1>at it. The Jets have had the number one pick.

0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:19.279
<v Speaker 1>How many years have the Jets had the number one pick?

0:44:19.360 --> 0:44:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's say in the last ten years. It hadn't done

0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:26.600
<v Speaker 1>jack for them. It hadn't done jack for them. You

0:44:26.640 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 1>can look at the Knicks. You can look at the

0:44:28.600 --> 0:44:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Knicks and say, how how did that work for them?

0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Every time you look up there in the lot of it,

0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:36.560
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't really matter. Eventually, you're gonna have to share

0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:38.880
<v Speaker 1>what you're worth as a player and as an organization,

0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:42.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm with use facts this team has. They cannot

0:44:42.400 --> 0:44:46.040
<v Speaker 1>give up You've got I hate The only thing I

0:44:46.040 --> 0:44:48.080
<v Speaker 1>hate about this game is when it comes to the

0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:51.759
<v Speaker 1>running game and how important that is to stop it.

0:44:52.480 --> 0:44:55.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's an exception to the rule. You see, we

0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.919
<v Speaker 1>won't be besides the Browns. We really won't. I don't

0:44:58.960 --> 0:45:01.600
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna be playing any other team that comes

0:45:01.640 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 1>out with this running philosophy. So I hate to have

0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:09.760
<v Speaker 1>to hang our hat on what happens this weekend because

0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:12.640
<v Speaker 1>it's such a unique running situation as far as your

0:45:12.680 --> 0:45:15.680
<v Speaker 1>opponent is concerned. I'm hoping that we could be good

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:19.399
<v Speaker 1>against it, and that could really give a telltale sign

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:22.239
<v Speaker 1>of how our run defense is going to be afterwards

0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and into the future. But I don't think they're gonna

0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:28.439
<v Speaker 1>see another running game like this one, so it's kind

0:45:28.440 --> 0:45:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of hard for me to say what our defense is

0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:34.960
<v Speaker 1>going to look like coming into this game and leaving

0:45:35.000 --> 0:45:36.719
<v Speaker 1>this game. I don't know if that's going to be

0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the barometer that we want to look at necessarily as Fags,

0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 1>because we haven't seen, besides the Browns, any other team

0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:48.799
<v Speaker 1>that has this type of running philosophy with this personnel.

0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:52.160
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like they're the exceptions to what they're going

0:45:52.200 --> 0:45:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to see for the rest of the year. All I

0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:56.160
<v Speaker 1>gotta say is, if you could hold them to one

0:45:56.239 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 1>hundred yards rushing, you probably have a chance to win.

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:02.839
<v Speaker 1>But if they get one hundred and fifty, I hope

0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.439
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean the Kirk Cousins on fire. I hope

0:46:05.440 --> 0:46:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean the Cousins on fire. That that cannot happen.

0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:11.960
<v Speaker 1>That cannot happen. That's what you have to take your

0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:15.000
<v Speaker 1>chance on. Right, all right, we're out of time. I

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:18.879
<v Speaker 1>will say this or Dan Graziano reporting. The NFL sent

0:46:18.960 --> 0:46:22.160
<v Speaker 1>a memo to teams today informing them that as of

0:46:22.200 --> 0:46:26.040
<v Speaker 1>this Saturday, all thirty two teams must operate under the

0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:30.480
<v Speaker 1>league's intensive COVID nineteen protocols for the remainder of the season.

0:46:30.920 --> 0:46:35.160
<v Speaker 1>That means virtual meetings, mask on the practice field, etc.

0:46:36.000 --> 0:46:39.520
<v Speaker 1>So the Cowboys ahead of the curve on that already implemented.

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:42.479
<v Speaker 1>We and we mentioned that yesterday about how they've put

0:46:42.520 --> 0:46:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the coaches and the rest of the staff that's around

0:46:46.760 --> 0:46:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the team on a daily basis in a bubble. And

0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the other thing they're doing is Jerry Jones, the Cowboys

0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:58.719
<v Speaker 1>will pay for family members coming to visit during the holidays.

0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:01.319
<v Speaker 1>He will pay for them to be tested so they

0:47:01.360 --> 0:47:05.680
<v Speaker 1>can enter the hotel bubble and be with the coaches

0:47:05.760 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and members of the staff. So that's one of the

0:47:08.520 --> 0:47:12.440
<v Speaker 1>extensions of what we talked about yesterday. We got further

0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:16.560
<v Speaker 1>clarification of that, and Mike McCarthy said, basically, this bubble

0:47:16.880 --> 0:47:20.000
<v Speaker 1>at the hotel next door is for the remainder of

0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the season, and now the NFL has followed SUPERGA and

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:29.319
<v Speaker 1>if things get bad, there's always room on the yacht.

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:32.560
<v Speaker 1>There you go. That's right, the Cowboys put out to sea. Yeah,

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:38.800
<v Speaker 1>all right. That does it for mix shots for this Wednesday,

0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:42.759
<v Speaker 1>and we will see you again tomorrow. This has been

0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas

0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys Football Club.
