Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones and Mickey Spagnola.

00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: It's another beautiful Thursday morning. The sun is shining. It's

6
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: a great day to have another mix shots with Mickey Spagnola.

7
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Everson Walls, I'm Danny Sarak and although we all are

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: all isolated and we're not together, I'm so glad we're

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: able to still do this podcast. It's so good to

10
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: see your faces. You know what it feels like we're together.

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, we've been getting ready for the show and

12
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 1: talking for about fifteen twenty minutes, so I feel like

13
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm just across the table from you guys. Everson, I

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: feel isolated. I'm in a room by myself. I feel

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: like I'm in a cave. But it's still good to

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: see you guys. Well, just the way, we've been able

17
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: to do all of our podcast virtually with the help

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: of our engineers and our great, our great staff. You know,

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: we've got Chris Beam and Matt Kent helping us out

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: with this, the Cowboys coaching staff and scouting department has

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: been working closely with the IT department, doing all of

22
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: their interviews and meetings virtually. And last week the NFL

23
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: had announced that this draft is going to be all

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: virtual and they're actually going to be doing a mock

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: draft to kind of run out some of those kinks

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: because as great as technology is, we know that it's

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: not always the most reliable. So hopefully those mock drafts

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: will be able to help things run more smoothly. Because

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: the draft is only one week away from today. You

30
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: know what, God blessed the Internet because if we didn't

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: have the Internet, we wouldn't be doing all this stuff

32
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: and there probably wouldn't be a draft that we could see.

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: So it's a good thing. Twenty years ago or so,

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: this thing got really popular, and that's the way this

35
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: whole thing's gonna work. And you know, as I've been

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: telling people, Danny and Everson, that probably the most valuable

37
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: people in this draft will be the IT departments because

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: they gotta be perfect. They can't make a mistake. Well,

39
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: I tell you what, the way my draft situation went,

40
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty much what they're going to be looking forward

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: to I didn't get drafted, so hey, you know, they

42
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: just brought me my contract in my dormitory, you know,

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: so this is kind of good. This is gonna be

44
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: almost like a free agent experience. Please guy, But they're

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: gonna get paid big money. As much as I love

46
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: seeing that first round and everyone goes up on stage,

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: I do love seeing those videos of when the players

48
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: are at their homes and they're surrounded by family and friends.

49
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: Now it'll be a little different. You can't have a

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: party of forty fifty people they're celebrating. But I do

51
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: love seeing those videos of when they get the phone

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: calls and you're just surrounded by your closest family and friends,

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: and it's really intimate, those people who have been there

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: with you every step of the way to get getting

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: up phone call. Well, guys, that will not What I

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: will not miss is looking at all the crazy suits

57
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: that they're going to be having on as they walk

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: up to the podium and get their head and they

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: meet the commissioner. I will not miss the colors. I

60
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: will not miss the ostrich shoes and loafers that they're

61
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: going to have long. Yeah, you know what they might

62
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: wear the same suits at home. What you think everyone

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: will be dressed up at all? And absolutely right, Mamily Sunday,

64
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: Easter Sunday, They're gonna be looking like Easter Sunday and

65
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be all dressed up in the living room.

66
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: You know, guys, this almost reminds me of the first

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: draft I sort of took place, or took part in.

68
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: It was back before ESPN and any of the TV

69
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: stations started broadcasting, and there was no radio. It was

70
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: back in nineteen seventy nine. I thought you gonna say

71
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen. That's what it sounds up nineteen seventy nine.

72
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Emmerson at Kelen Winslow. I was in Columbia, Missouri, and

73
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboy, the Missouri tight end Kelen Winslow, was expected

74
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: to be a first round draft choice. So he invited us,

75
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: the guys that were covering the team, invited us over

76
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: to his apartment to wait for him to get the

77
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: phone call so we could be there, right. So we

78
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: all show up at his apartment and so it's at

79
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: the end of the semester. He had his phone turned off,

80
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: he didn't have any phone service, and he's like, how

81
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: am I going to find out right. So we ended

82
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: up going into the newspaper newsroom and we were watching

83
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: the draft on the APT teletype machine, and you know,

84
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: it would come over that, you know, at number two,

85
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: so and so took somebody. At number three, so and

86
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: so took somebody. And I could see the life was

87
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: draining out of his face because it got into nine

88
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: and ten and he hadn't have been drafted yet, and

89
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, this is starting to get embarrassing, right,

90
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: and then twelve rounds. Then it was seventeen rounds back wow,

91
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: if you can remember, imagine that. So it got to

92
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: the pick number eleven in the first round and it

93
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: comes over the teletype machine, the ap wire machine and

94
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: says San Diego Chargers select Missouri tight end Kellen Winslow.

95
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: And it couldn't have gone to a better place, right,

96
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: remember with uh the offense that they were the air

97
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Correale and the Chargers. Yeah, and he's thinking, oh man,

98
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: I am a tight end in the slot, right, And

99
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: so he's real calm, and he does the whole interview

100
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: and everything, and we walked outside of the newsroom outdoors

101
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: and he let out the biggest blood curdling yell. You

102
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: ever seen. He was just screaming, celebrating, right, And it

103
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: went from how am I going to find out how

104
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: I get drafted? And we figured it out and that's

105
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: how he found out. Watching it in the Missouri and newsroom,

106
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: It's almost like you guys were dealing with pigeons back then, Maggie.

107
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: I have no doubt in my mind that the players

108
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: being drafted probably don't even turn their cell phones off. Ever,

109
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: they just leave them on and they continually charge him.

110
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: So that doesn't worry me. With the Cowboys guys, there

111
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: seems to be news and I'll put that in quotes

112
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: pretty much every week, right, And this week the news

113
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: was about quarterback Dak Prescott, and it wasn't about whether

114
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: or not he's going to sign that franchise tag or

115
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: if he had a new deal. It was reports that

116
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: he had had a large party and had people over

117
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: at his house and that the cops were called to

118
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: break it up, and he made a statement saying that

119
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: that wasn't sure at all that he was following the

120
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: guidelines of having ten or fewer people. They had brought

121
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: food in. There was a picture that was I think

122
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: originally said it was at his house it was a

123
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: table that was set with napkins and everything else you need.

124
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: It turned out to be a picture of the restaurant

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: they had ordered from, and it just you gotta think,

126
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: like to other quarterbacks and other teams deal with this

127
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. If you don't play for the Dallas Cowboys,

128
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: welcome to be in the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. I gotta

129
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: safe spags that he's been half he's been drawing a

130
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: little bit of attention to himself by having these closed

131
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,559
Speaker 1: door practices with this right, right, have you been seeing

132
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: those Well, yeah, I have seen it. And again I'll

133
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: guarantee you other quarterbacks can be doing this, right, But

134
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: if you're the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, you gotta

135
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: understand the scrutiny you're under. And if you think about it, previously,

136
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: all his scrutiny has been good, right, everything's been great,

137
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: the charity, this this and this. Uh And now suddenly

138
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: I think he's coming in the realization that when you're

139
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, you don't have a

140
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: personal life anymore. Everything you do is under scrutiny. No

141
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: matter what you do, what you say, I mean, Tua

142
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: is help holding workouts, right, and no one's criticizing him

143
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: because it's interesting, right, But it's the Cowboys quarterback. And

144
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: think about it. Go back to Don Meredith. You know,

145
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: he found it out. Craig Morton found it out. I

146
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: think the only guy that really escaped this and I

147
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: didn't live through it was probably Roger Staubach and he

148
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: was so squeaky clean and they probably couldn't find anything

149
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: about him. Well, you know Rogers, Rogers, Rogers pet Pete was.

150
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: He loved basketball, right, and so he would always participate

151
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: in hoop it up back in the day. And he

152
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: didn't care who he was playing against. It could be

153
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: other football players, it could be brothers from the hood.

154
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: Roger loved basketball. He loved the competition. Now, another quarterback

155
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: that did get into it with their organization, that was Mahomes.

156
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: If you recall after the Super Bowl, he's out there

157
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: showing showing his who game. I think he dunked on

158
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: somebody or was going to the hole. And as soon

159
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: as the Chiefs found out about that, then they gave

160
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: him a call as well. And that was very recent

161
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: and it was like, no more basketball for you, mister Mahomes.

162
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, so you know what you could This was

163
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: before you know. I don't know if you were aware

164
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: or not, but the story goes when when Walk Garrison

165
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: first signed with the Cowboys. So we're going back into

166
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: the mid to late sixties. Uh, you know, he was

167
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: he was a rodeo guy. He was a cowboy before

168
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: he became a cowboy. And he was continu inuing to

169
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: participate in rodeos during the season, Like on Saturday night

170
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: he would he would leave the hotel and go perform

171
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: in Mesquite and then come back. And somebody, somebody did

172
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: a story. They say, those were men with men. Okay,

173
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: that's when men were men. That's not these little powder

174
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: puffs to have these days. Somebody somebody did a story

175
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: of it, took a picture, put it in the paper

176
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: and said, hey, how neat is this? The Cowboys are

177
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: letting their player participate in the rodeo and then play

178
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: football the next day. Well Tom Landry found out about it,

179
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: and it was like, Walk, there will be no more

180
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: rodeos than night before day. So can you know what

181
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: the rodeos, I don't know what's tougher the rodeos of

182
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, which one do you think when

183
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: his life and he was safer. Yeah, he was death

184
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: whist man. This guy like a death whist. That was

185
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: that was crazy. That was crazy. I mean he was roping,

186
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: so he you know, they roped the calfs, jumped off

187
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: the horse and kind of tie them up, right, and

188
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: it's like, are you kidding me? But yeah, that was

189
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: so Anyway, going back to the scrutiny, and if you

190
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: think about it, think about what Tony Romo went through,

191
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: and he understood it that anytime he dated a celebrity,

192
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: you know that people found out. And then he went

193
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: on vacation, right found I mean you got Rodeo and

194
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: you have Cancoom. Okay, right, there's there's there's a big

195
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: difference between that. And we just went off on Romo

196
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: for going to Cancoom. So hopefully for for Dak, you know,

197
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: this doesn't get him to the point where he starts

198
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: closing everybody off and becomes, you know, too self conscious

199
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: of everything he does, even in the locker room, because

200
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: if you think about it, what happened with Romo, I mean,

201
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: he was the best quote ever and then he realized

202
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: I can't say anything either way because people can interpret it.

203
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: However they want so he said a lot and said nothing,

204
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: and that was unfortunate, and you hope that doesn't happen

205
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: the dak with it now now he talks a lot. Yeah, right,

206
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: and he's getting paid a lot, so talking about making

207
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: up for it. I think. Earlier this week Tom Pessera

208
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: with NFL Network had announced that the NFL and the

209
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: NFLPA they're figuring out ways to do a virtual period

210
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: for the off season starting Monday, April twentieth. So facilities

211
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: won't be open, but this is going to a lot

212
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: of clubs to start having meetings and going over plays

213
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: and schemes. And that's going to be really important because

214
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have a new coaching staff and so they've

215
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of things they need to work through

216
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: and they no longer have that advantage of having extra

217
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: time in this off season program compared to teams that

218
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: didn't get a coaching staff over overhaul. And so, Mickey,

219
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen with Prescott

220
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: bring in terms of if he's going to sign this

221
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: franchise tag and if he's going to be logged in

222
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: on those virtual meetings? Yeah, you know what think about this?

223
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: You don't have to leave your house right you can

224
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: sit like we're sitting right now and turn on your

225
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: screen and be there as the meeting's going on. I

226
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: don't know how valuable those type of things will be.

227
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: I'll let Everson kind of speak to that, But all

228
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking is they're going to pay you somewhere around

229
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty three hundred dollars a day to

230
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: sit there like we're sitting here right now, and you

231
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: don't have to do anything physical. I mean, I understand, okay,

232
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: I need some leverage, and if I don't do this,

233
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: maybe they'll sign me to what I want. But is

234
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: it that valuable you think Everson to participate in those things.

235
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: I think it depends on where you are in your career.

236
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: You know. If you're talking about Dak, No, it's not

237
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: valuable at all, you know. I think I look at

238
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: this something where you know he understands the game very well.

239
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: We all know that you just passed some more yards

240
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: than anybody last year. You know. I don't think taking

241
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: in a new system virtually, no, I don't think that

242
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: that will affect him at all. Now, if you've got

243
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: some quarterbacks that are trying to learn a whole bunch

244
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: of new things. They hadn't had a good year, They're

245
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: coming to a new team. Yeah, then all of a sudden,

246
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: you're you're looking at it as a very inconvenience. I

247
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: would say, but for Dad, No, I wouldn't think they

248
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: would make a difference for him at all. And I

249
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: got away Danny. He could turn this into a positive.

250
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: So he could say, Okay, I'm gonna do this, and

251
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take my perdam and I'm gonna go buy

252
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: lunches for the nurses and Baylor, Scott and White, and

253
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: he could be a hero. Right instead of causing us

254
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: think and say no, I'm not taking part in those things,

255
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: he could actually turn the thing on without even showing

256
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: himself on the screen and listen, right, that's what I'm

257
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: going to sing. When I work with you guys, I'm

258
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna do good. Scott. Well, ever since I have to

259
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: say I think I disagree with you about it won't

260
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: be valuable because I mean, Dak is still working with

261
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, he's working with Doug nus Meyer, who's not

262
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the quarterbacks coach who was working with the

263
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: tight end. So he has some familiarity there, but this

264
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,359
Speaker 1: is still otherwise a new coaching staff and Mike McCarthy

265
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: and dealing with a lot of different, different, little subtle

266
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: things in the game. And I do think that this

267
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: will be valuable. I think this the meetings and kind

268
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: of showing his face and all of that stuff. I

269
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: think this will be valuable for him if he is

270
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: on those calls. I understand the leverage of if this

271
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: role happening in person, he wouldn't be there more, you know,

272
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: because he hasn't signed that tag. And but if you're

273
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: not having to leave your house and you're just logging

274
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: in and you're trying to you know, the meetings are

275
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: what's important for him to make sure that everyone is

276
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: on the same page. Assuming the season starts, it's on time.

277
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: So I think it would be valuable for him to

278
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: show his faith in those I think that takes the

279
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: value away just a little bit. I don't think we're

280
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: going to have a season this fall, and so there's

281
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: no urgency in this regard the fact that everything is changing,

282
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: the fact that he has to do this all virtual. Well,

283
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: that also the same reason that I think the season

284
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: is going to be in jeopardy because of everything that

285
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: we're dealing with. If they were coming up for the fall,

286
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: you might be right, you might have a case, Danny,

287
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: But I think that everything is going to be pushed

288
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: back to where eventually they're going to have the meetings

289
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: that they need to have before this season even starts.

290
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: But at this point, at this point, I just don't

291
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: think it's that important. You know. I think I kind

292
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: of agree with sort of with both of you. I

293
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: think it would help to be a part because they're

294
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: going to probably be putting in some new stuff, But

295
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to help to the point

296
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: that if he's not there, it's going to create leverage

297
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are gonna go, Okay, yeah, whatever you want. Yeah,

298
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: we're gonna sign you to this because we want you

299
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: to be part of these meetings. He's not going to

300
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: gain any leverage by doing it. All he's getting himself

301
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: is some poor publicity about the whole thing. Well, we've

302
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: got a lot more to talk about still. The draft

303
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: is only one week away from today, so we're gonna

304
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about those players. We're gonna go

305
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: back in time too. We're gonna talk about someone on

306
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: this podcast with his draft and it's not Mickey, So

354

Speaker 1: It's taking a look back at the nineteen ninety draft

355
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, and it will be thirty years ago

356
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: next this coming Wednesday, when the Cowboys made the decision

357
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: to draft Emmett Smith, and everybody thinks, oh, look what

358
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did at number seventeen, they got Emmett Smith. Well,

359
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: there's a backstory there that I think everybody that's not

360
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: familiar with that draft will be surprised on how the

361
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys basically tried to do everything they could to not

362
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: draft Emmett Smith, and in the end they said, ah,

363
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: you know what, let's just take this running back from

364
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: the University of Florida, So pay attention. I think it's

365
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: a pretty interesting also. Kind of after that draft thirty

366
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: years ago, Everson Walls made a big decision. The Cowboys

367
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: basically told him that they weren't having him back. I'll

368
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: let him explain that story. It was nineteen ninety and Everson,

369
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: you had a bunch of teams interested in you, and

370
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: you took a while before you made the decision on

371
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: where you were going to sign and continue your career. Yeah,

372
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: that was thirty years ago. Wow, that's great. I think

373
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: my head was great even then. But now I recall

374
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: a couple of teams. That was the Seahawks. The Seattle

375
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks wanted me badly. That's when Tom Floyd's was the

376
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: GM there, of course, of the former Great Raiders coach,

377
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: and he had moved up to Seattle change teams and

378
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: he had the GM job up there. And I had

379
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: never worked I never worked out on Sam and the

380
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: base turf as that was the weirdest workout I've ever had.

381
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: The turf itself was sand based and it had lumps

382
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: in it. You know, it wasn't even it had lumps

383
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: in like like it was natural grass or something. So

384
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself only in Seattle can you have

385
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: sand based turf. I don't think any other team ever

386
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: had that. I went up there and worked out. Tom

387
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: wanted me bad. I knew at that time I knew

388
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: where I was going. I acted like I didn't know

389
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: where I was going, but I knew exactly where I

390
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: was going. I was not going to go to Seattle.

391
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew where my plans were. I had

392
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: to play behind that front seven they had in New York.

393
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: There's no way I was and I'm pretty sure I

394
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: made it right decision. So I noticed before deleting up

395
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: to the draft, when I was researching the image story

396
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: that we were writing about you and the decisions you

397
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: had to make, and it looked like the Giants or

398
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks wanted you to decide before the draft so

399
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: they could alter their draft accordingly. And then at the

400
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: last minute I think I read or I don't know

401
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: if it was accurate, and you could tell us now

402
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: that the Rams kind of got a little bit interested

403
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: in you, but you didn't make your decision until after

404
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: the draft, when the Giant listened. I was a free

405
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: agent right, Not only that I was, I was not.

406
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: I was never even out of high school. I was

407
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: never held it. That was my time to take my

408
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: recruiting trips. Okay, that's all that was. I wanted to

409
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: go fly, man, I want to go to Seattle. I've

410
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: never been to Seattle. Seattle. Then they it's free to

411
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: they taking me to New York. Come on, man, the

412
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: big apple. I wanted to go there and have a

413
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: good time. Man. I knew exactly what I was gonna

414
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: do from day one. I just wanted to milk it.

415
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: That's all. I just wanted to milk it. Well you did,

416
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: because I think you stretched it out. I think the

417
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: draft that's twenty second and he signed on the twenty

418
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: eighth or something like that. So was your contact with

419
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: the Giants? Was it right with Bill Parcels or did who? Yeah?

420
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: I called Bill myself. I called Bill. I called Bill,

421
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: and it's so funny he answered the phone. There was

422
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: no secretary. I probably called at the perfect time. And

423
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, you have to put on the air of confidence.

424
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if Bill wanted me to not,

425
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: but I acted as if I was, you know, hot stuff.

426
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: You know. So we're on the phone and I'm not

427
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: calling them Coach Parcel. I was like, hey, Bill, it's

428
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: everything you know, So you know, I tried to be

429
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: are and player at the same time. It worked out

430
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: pretty good. So you didn't have your hair is not

431
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: gray and those pictures. Oh you got a little real close, Danny,

432
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: you got a little real close. My just the man

433
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: wasn't even invented yet, I don't think. So. Yeah, it

434
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: was tough. And then the bottom line on that decision

435
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: is Everson goes on to win a Super Bowl that

436
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: year with the Giants. So good decision, right, Oh yeah,

437
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: Seattle was no whether to be found in the playoffs

438
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: that year, So yeah, I think I made a good decision.

439
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: And Mickey, when you were covering the Cowboys, there was

440
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: some mornings that broth that same week. Yeah, absolutely, And

441
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: Everson probably remember this. Um the Cowboys were gonna move

442
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: on from Ed to Tall Jones too. He had played

443
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: his fifteenth season in eighty nine, which at that time

444
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: was the career record until it was tied by Bill

445
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Bates and Mark two and a and then broken by

446
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: Witton and Ed and Ed knew that Cowboys were moving on.

447
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: He had played eighty nine with Jimmy and towards the

448
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: end of the season. If you remember this, Everson, they

449
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: were going to transition that spot to Tony Tolbert and

450
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: they were gonna start Tony Tolbert, and the media made

451
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: a big deal about ending Ed's consecutive streak of starting games,

452
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: and Jimmy basically said, okay, I'll start him. And then

453
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: after the first quarter, Tolbert's going in, right, so he

454
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: knew it was done, and he basically said, yeah, I'm

455
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: I'm leaving and and and Ed. You know, he was

456
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 1: thirty nine at that time, and basically said, you know,

457
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: the coach said he's going with younger players, they're transitioning,

458
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to keep me around. So yeah, I

459
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna be back with the Cowboys. So

460
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: he made that announcement and then eventually retired that year.

461
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: But that was a long career. I don't know why.

462
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would replace Ed. You know,

463
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: like last game of the season. I know, I know

464
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: one of fifteen who cares if Tony Tolbit starts the

465
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: last game of a one in fifteen season. You know,

466
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: as I looked back when Jones bought the team, that

467
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: was kind of like a COVID nineteen moment as well.

468
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of changes came in, Yeah, a

469
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: lot of changes. So yeah, I looked at that as

470
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: you know, one of those moments to where it changed everything.

471
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: We were so accustomed to Tom Landry, you know, and

472
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here comes these these jay boys

473
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: as you guys call them at the time. That it

474
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: was almost a COVID nineteen moment right there, because everything

475
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: changed after that. They came sweeping through like a plague.

476
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: But I guess it was a good plague. No, yeah,

477
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, you're absolutely right. And then you know ed

478
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: those three guys held that record till this past season

479
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: when Jason Witten ended up playing a sixteenth season for

480
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and now it looks like he's gonna end

481
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: up with the Raiders. What did you think about it, Everson,

482
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: that you know, a guy that's played that long, thirty

483
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: seven years old, but he still wants to get another

484
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: year in. You know, I could relate, Trust me, I

485
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: could relate. It took me a while to just kind

486
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: of realize, you know what, this is not good for me.

487
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: It's not good for my my my ego. I'm up

488
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: here trying to work out for all these different teams

489
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: I've got, seemed like the guys were younger than me

490
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: that was that were evaluating me, And I don't think

491
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: that any of them really remembered who I was. It

492
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: was kind of degrading actually to go through that process.

493
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: So we still put ourselves through it as older players

494
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: simply because you know, that's all we're accustomed to, and

495
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: so you think, maybe I can just give it one

496
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: last try, and it's no different. I was no different.

497
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: But it doesn't take long at that age to realize,

498
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: you know what, this is a bad idea. So yeah,

499
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, and I thought it was interesting. This week

500
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock the Raiders GM, I guess he was asked,

501
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: why why do you want a thirty seven year old

502
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: tight end who's going to be playing a seventeenth season

503
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: when you have a really good tight end in a

504
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: nice tight end room. What do you do and what

505
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: are you thinking about? And he basically said that bringing

506
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: in a guy like Jason Wooden helps the room because

507
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: now these guys can listen to somebody that knows how

508
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: to do it, that's done it, and if nothing else,

509
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: the leadership he brings will help us out and the

510
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: other thing had occurred to me with Whitton this week

511
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: was that when you looked at his numbers in the decade, boy,

512
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: he put up some pretty big numbers, even though he

513
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: missed the twenty eighteen season, and yes, he only had

514
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: the two one thousand yard season, But I thought he

515
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: could have made a point for him to be placed

516
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: on that All Decade team as the other tight end

517
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: with Gronkowski. But Travis Kelsey had won that one, you know.

518
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: And I know he didn't play as many games but

519
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: as Wit, but Whitten had more catches, more yards, the

520
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: same amount of Pro Bowls, and I thought you could

521
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: have made an argument there for Witten to be placed

522
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: on that All Decade team. I think it's just those

523
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings that he's missing, and that was probably

524
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: what kept him off the list. And Kelsey, yeah, daddy,

525
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: And you know, winning the Super Bowl probably helped him

526
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: get the notoriety to say, oh, yeah, okay, guy, he's

527
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: played five six years this decade, he's the All decade

528
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: tight end. Yeah, it'll definitely be interesting to see Witten's role.

529
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: You're right, I think that leadership is probably one of

530
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: his bigger qualities at this point in his career. Everything

531
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: that he does for his teammates and those around him

532
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: off the field, and I still think it'll be exciting

533
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: to watch him play. I mean, Cowboys fans who have

534
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: known him and loved him and watched him for seventeen

535
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: years and all he's been through, you want him to

536
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: be successful. It's kind of sad to see a player

537
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: like that. He's going to be in a different jersey

538
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: and it's going to be different, but you still want

539
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: to see him have success. And it's even going to

540
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: be crazy because the Raiders move in to Las Vegas.

541
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: They haven't even finished their stadium, so now you think

542
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: it's thirty seven years old, him and every other player

543
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: are going to have to be probably assuming there's a season,

544
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: traveling every weekend, because it came out this week that

545
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: they're having a like a contingency plan where they would

546
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: play games in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and San Diego

547
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: since their stadium isn't finished. That's a lot of travel

548
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: and play for someone who is thirty seven years old.

549
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: Changing I kind of kind I kind of lost you

550
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: guys there for a minute. But here's one thing that

551
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: I wish could have had it. If I could turn

552
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: back the clock. I would turn it back to a

553
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when Witten was in the booth.

554
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: I thought that he still would have had more in

555
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: the tank than he had last year, and having him

556
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: on that team that experienced that resurgence with Cooper coming in,

557
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: I really wish we would have had Whitten at the

558
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: time that year. I don't think Whitten or anyone else

559
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: could anticipate the difference that Cooper would make for that team.

560
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: I think Whitten thought, you know what, this team is

561
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: going to go as far as they can go. I

562
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: think I need to start looking forward to a life

563
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: after football. That's what he was thinking at that time.

564
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: I really wish he could have been with that team

565
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: when we made that turnaround during mid season. Uh possibly

566
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: could have gone on even further, could have beaten the Rams,

567
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: maybe maybe even position ourselves even better for the playoffs,

568
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: and maybe it wouldn't even have had to play in

569
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: the wild card. Around that years, I always wonder what

570
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: would have happened if he would have stuck with us

571
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: for that one particular season. You know, that's a good

572
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: point because if you think about and even though the

573
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: Rams offense ran right over the Cowboys defense, the margin

574
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: between winning and losing that game wasn't really that great.

575
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: There was a couple critical calls in that game, uh

576
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: term that we started that in the grasp, yeah, absolutely,

577
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: and that that BS call and hands to the face

578
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: on Byron Jones. Cowboys were going to get off the field,

579
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: and then two plays later Girly goes thirty some yards

580
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: for a touchdown and they ended up losing by what

581
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: eight points? Eight points points? And that's a good point

582
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: that a guy like Witten on that team could have

583
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: made a significant difference, especially at the tight end position,

584
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: especially at that two minute drive. You know we're coming down.

585
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: This is when when Dad loves to look for Witten

586
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: in that particular time. We make jokes about you know,

587
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: Witten's yak so to speak. They say, I might have that,

588
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: he might have a negative yak in an entire career,

589
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: but he moves the chains and that's something that we

590
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: needed on that final drive we were down by eight points. Yeah,

591
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: you always wonder what could have been. Right, Well, we've

592
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: been talking about the thirty seven year old Jason Winn

593
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: and right on the other side of this break, we're

594
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna go to guys a few decades younger. We're gonna

595
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,440

654
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: is just one week away and what's been fun to

655
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: see on Twitter. I don't know if you guys have

656
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: seen this. A lot of NFL players have been trying

657
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: to see which state has produced the best football players,

658
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: and of course it was pretty much all buy Texas, right,

659
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: But you've got players saying Florida, where Mark Cooper, You've

660
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: got Georgia and all these players are trying to see

661
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: but we know that it's Texas. And there's actually a

662
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: handful of local players in this draft who who've really

663
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: made a name for themselves. And Mickey, I know you've

664
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: been looking at one from Dosto a wide receiver out there. Yeah,

665
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 1: Lo Viscus Channel wide receiver University of Colorado. He played

666
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: his high school ball at Dosto High, won a state

667
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: championship there with him in twenty sixteen, and played three

668
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: years at Colorado. And he's a kind of a guy

669
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: that maybe fell off the screen just a little bit.

670
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: This year, his software year at Colorado, he led the

671
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: nation in yards per game receiving yards per game, and

672
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: one draft guru described him as maybe the best athlete

673
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: in the draft. He's six one two twenty two and

674
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: he's played all three wide receiver positions at the University

675
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: of Colorado. So he's a guy that you know, hey,

676
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: maybe he's not recognized in that class with the Judy's

677
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: and rug and CD Lamb, but he could be a

678
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: pretty productive wide receiver. And one thing I thought was

679
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: interesting ever since when he went to the combine, he

680
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: only ran like a four or five eight, but he

681
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: needed a core muscle surgery, so he kind of powered

682
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: through it anyway and just at least ran the forty.

683
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: And he's probably faster than that he's had the surgery,

684
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: and maybe teams will not value him as highly as

685
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: maybe he should be. And so if the Cowboys are

686
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: looking for a wide receiver, maybe second round, early third

687
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: might keep an eye on this local kid, because he's

688
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: one heck of an athlete. You know, one thing you

689
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: you want to stereotype some guys in regards to size

690
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: and even speed. I think more than anything, we need

691
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: a slot receiver. I think we need that third down receiver.

692
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: I think jar One's gonna be big for us some

693
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: third downs this year, just as Witting it always has been,

694
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: but Jarding with a little bit more mobility, putting a

695
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: big receiver sixth one, that's a big receiver to be

696
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: in the slot as far as I'm concerned, not just

697
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: six one, but he's over two hundred and twenty plus pounds.

698
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: That would be kind of difficult to see me watching

699
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: him in the slot. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe he's got

700
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: the quickness to do it. Obviously, you talked about him

701
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: playing all three positions, but I'd be very curious to

702
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: see just how effective he would be in the slot

703
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,959
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. You know, one of the things

704
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: Danny Andrrison that I noticed about him is he's one

705
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: of those kind of jack of all trade receivers, like

706
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: you can handle the ball. You could snap him to

707
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: him if you if you wanted to do that. And

708
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 1: he's a recruit. Who's the stud for the Titans. Who's

709
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: that stud for the Titans? You're talking about him being

710
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: like the uh, the wide receiver for the Titans that

711
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: did so well this year. I think he was a

712
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: rookie oh um. I mean he just took over uh

713
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: in the in the postseason and showed just at the

714
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: end of the season and postseason, he showed just how

715
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: good he was. Uh. And he is. He's not necessarily

716
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: as tall, but my goodness, he is a load to

717
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: bring down very athletic, and I'm wondering if they would

718
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: probably use this young man, if the Cowboys would use

719
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: this young man the way the Titans use uh, their

720
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: young stud in the same manner. Yeah, and it's kind

721
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 1: of a neat story that the guy, you know, he

722
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: kind of probably could have played in the state of Texas,

723
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: but ended up going to Colorado and uh and had

724
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: a really nice career though. So yeah, keep it, keep

725
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: an eye on him. Uh. He's just one of these

726
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: guys that can do a lot of things for you.

727
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: And you're right, ever since he's he's a little bit bigger.

728
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: But again, a lot of times those slot receivers are

729
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: a little bit smaller, and the loss of all right,

730
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: I meant to say, the defensive backs in the slot

731
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: are usually a little Yes they are, Yes they are,

732
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: And that's a little titbit. That's why Belichick loved big

733
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: defensive backs. And he doesn't care who you were, what

734
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: position you were a customer playing if you're gonna be

735
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: a physical defensive back, he liked a lot of size. Therefore,

736
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: we had Perry Williams, who was just as tall as

737
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: I was, maybe taller and bigger, playing at the cornerback position.

738
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: It depends on who you play and what their system is,

739
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: but some of them like to be physical on that

740
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: slot receiver because he's so prevalent on third downs and

741
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: that slot position is wide open needs to be filled.

742
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: You have some some receivers from last year, Cedric Wilson

743
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: and Davin Smith, and you could try rotate around, but

744
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: the loss of Randal codfree agency has really put that

745
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: as an offensive spot that people are looking at. How

746
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to draft. And there's a ton

747
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: of depth in the receiver position this draft class, I

748
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: mean it is loaded. But when you look at those

749
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: top names that are going to go early Seedee Lamb

750
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: for the receivers. And what's interesting is, I know, Mickey,

751
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: you found some research about a cool connection for who

752
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: are going to be three top draft picks with safety

753
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: Grant Delpit out of LSU Ceedee Lamb the receiver out

754
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma, and Kenneth Murray, the linebacker who we talked

755
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: about last week without really amazing virtual interview with the Cowboys,

756
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 1: and you found a connection for all three of them. Yeah,

757
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: this is crazy, guys, because I was reading a story

758
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: about the Delpit family from New Orleans and they ended

759
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: up leaving New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and evacuated to

760
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: the city of Houston. And he was Grant, the safety,

761
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,479
Speaker 1: was like six seven, eight years old, somewhere in there,

762
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: probably about six or seven, and when they moved, and

763
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: he ended up as a junior, as a junior high

764
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: player playing for this youth team. Well on the youth

765
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: team along with Grant delpot is Ceedee Lamb, And I

766
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: didn't realize Ceedee Lamb also his family was from New

767
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: Orleans and they evacuated and ended up in Houston, and

768
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: these two guys ended up on that same youth team

769
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: along with as Danny said, Kenneth Murray, who was from

770
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: there in the first place, the linebacker. So these three

771
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 1: guys are playing on the same youth team. You think

772
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 1: they ever got beat? I just think it's incredible that

773
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: back when your junior high age, what like twelve, thirteen, eleven, uh,

774
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: these three guys are playing on a team, and now

775
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: all these years later, here they are, all three of

776
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: them probably be first round draft choices. It was a story.

777
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: So do we get to do we get to put

778
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: them in the Texas category or the Louisiana category. That's

779
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: that's all that's important. Yeah, that's a good question. Can

780
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: we claim them in Texas or dude, does Louisiana still

781
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: have They were in high school though with Katrina, No,

782
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: they were like five six years old. That was fifty

783
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: I would say Texas. Yes, I'm with you, Danny. I

784
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: would say if basically before eight years old, let's let's

785
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: just say it like that, eight years old, but you

786
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: don't have to show your birth certificate, we'll claim them

787
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: for Texas. Uh. Those guys that a bunch of other guys,

788
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: their lives were going to change forever in one week

789
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: from today with the NFL Draft, the first of those

790
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: virtual rounds. And I want to ask you guys, because

791
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: I think you could argue. I think the argument comes

792
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 1: down to two positions. For my question of the season

793
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: were to start today, when you look at the players,

794
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have, what is the greatest position of need?

795
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: And I want to hear what you guys think, because

796
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: as fun as it would be to draft one of

797
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: these amazing receivers with pick seventeen, the Cowboys first round

798
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: draft pick, I think it comes down to whether or

799
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: not the Cowboys are going to draft a pass rusher

800
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: on the right side of that defensive line after losing

801
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn to free agency, or are they going to

802
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: look more at the defensive back position and go for

803
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 1: a cornerback. So, if the season were to start today,

804
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 1: what is the biggest area of need for this Cowboys team? Everson?

805
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: I'll let you go first because I wrote about this

806
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: last Friday on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and my suggestion was,

807
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: when the Cowboys look at where you go, you look

808
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 1: at the position. What position scares you the most, meaning

809
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: not scares the other team? Scares you? On what I

810
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: have if I have to play tomorrow. What do I

811
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: absolutely need if I have to play tomorrow. So I'll

812
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: give the floor to you first. I would look at

813
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: the entire middle of the Cowboys defensive formation. I still

814
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: think even though we just signed a couple of big studs,

815
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 1: the verdict is still out on them. As far as

816
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: McCoy and the other young man that we just signed, Carolina, Yes,

817
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: and so when you look at those guys, I still

818
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: think that our nose guard tackle position needs to be

819
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: showed up because we got shredded last year. And then

820
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: when you look at the other position. You're looking at

821
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: the linebacker position. Yes, we've got a lot of linebackers,

822
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: got Sean Lee coming back. I understand that, but I

823
00:47:54,400 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: think we need that linebacker that can completely control the

824
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: middle of our defense, and I know we think we

825
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: have that right now. Van Dersh. I'm still very concerned

826
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: about him just his health period. Forget being a ball player,

827
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: but that surgery. You just worry about that whole neck

828
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: thing that he's going to deal with. So I think

829
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: a good linebacker that can close those creases that were

830
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: left last year when you look at the Vikings game

831
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: and pretty much every game after Thanksgiving to where we

832
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: just couldn't stop anybody. As far as the Rumber's concern,

833
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: and of course the free safety position, yes we have

834
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: Clinton Dix and I really want to talk to you

835
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: about that last week's bags about how this is an

836
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: important acquisition for us. You've got a guy with a

837
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: lot of experience back that they could play either deep

838
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: or I think he could even play up at the

839
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: strong safety position. So to have the luxury of him

840
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: being there is great. But also maybe happy to draft

841
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: a Dell Pit someone of that nature that is that

842
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: can control a ball game. From ten yards deep in

843
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: the secondary. So I'm looking down the middle of the field,

844
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: down the middle of our alignment, defensive tackle, inside linebacker,

845
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: as well as free safety. You sound like you sound

846
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: like a baseball manager. You've got to be strong up

847
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: the middle, right, So you know, if these so, if

848
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: these interviews that they're doing with the potential draft choices

849
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: mean anything. One of the guys that they interviewed over

850
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: the last week or so was ray Kwon Davis, the

851
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: defensive tackle from the University of Alabama, six six, three

852
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven pounds and he's probably a three technique,

853
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: So Everson, they're obviously thinking that way too. His last

854
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: this past season wasn't as good as his previous two seasons,

855
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: but boy, he's a load in the middle. To me, Uh,

856
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: the position that scares me right now, I think I

857
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: can play at corner back. I probably need another guy,

858
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: But if I had to play tomorrow, I could start

859
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: Chitubey Oloosey, Anthony Brown and Jordan Lewis and those would

860
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 1: be my three guys, and I think I could get

861
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: by the position that scares me is the defensive end

862
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: spot on the right side, because I don't know that

863
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: they have somebody, you know, everybody will say, well, yeah,

864
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: they got Randy Gregory, they might have Alden Smith. Well

865
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: it's might on both of those guys. So if you

866
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: had to start tomorrow, who coming off with two hip surgeries?

867
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: How much are you going to get out of him?

868
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: Is he? On Twitter? He said he is, he is ready.

869
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: So if it must, and I agree with you, Mickey,

870
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,479
Speaker 1: and that is the biggest need first and second down,

871
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: that's fine, But who's the pass rusher? Because after that,

872
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: and if you count the four guys that they have

873
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 1: that we're on the team last year that are still

874
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: there that potentially could play there, those four guys total

875
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: two sacks last year and one of them was Crawfords

876
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: and he only played I believe it was seven nine

877
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: games something like that before they finally said, yeah, he

878
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: probably needs surgery. So to me that that spot there

879
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: is vacant, I can get by with some of this

880
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: other stuff, and at safety I can get by with haha,

881
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: Clinton Dixon and you're right every since I think he

882
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: can play either one. And I'm not sure that they're

883
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: disappointed in what what Woods is DoD Xavier Woods is

884
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: doing it free safety. So maybe Dix plays in the slot,

885
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean down low and as the strong safety, and

886
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: I could get by with that. But from the future, yeah,

887
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: they've got positions that they don't have a lot of

888
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: depth that that they're gonna need some help. And you

889
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: mentioned the defensive tackle, the nose tackle. You know, I'm

890
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: sure post contracts gonna it says two years by it.

891
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: Bet it's one year. If you look at Gerald McCoy's contract,

892
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: they can get out of it after one year for

893
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: not much dead money. Uh. But yeah, that defensive end spot.

894
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 1: I just can't hit sitting here to remember. I want

895
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: you guys to remember. I want you to remember these names.

896
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: I want to Cook. I want to remember Cook for Minnesota. Okay.

897
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: I want you I want you to remember anyone that

898
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: had the ball in their hands in Buffalo, Okay. I

899
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: want you to remember all of those games where we're like,

900
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? We can't stop anybody,

901
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: so forget passing the ball. I get it. It'd be

902
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: nice if we could force them into a third and all,

903
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: but we never could because we were always giving up

904
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: chunks of yardage on first and ten. So that's why

905
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: I agree with Mickey. You need someone need that pass

906
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: rush opposite of DeMarcus Lawrence, so that you're forcing them

907
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: to quickly throw the ball. And I agree with Mickey.

908
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: I think if the season where to start today, you

909
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: are confident enough and the starters that you would have

910
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: at Danny. Cowboys are still going to draft a handful

911
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,240
Speaker 1: of defensive backs in this draft, because there's a pretty

912
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 1: good number of them, some really skilled players. But I

913
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: think right now the biggest need is filling that gap,

914
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: the unknown on the right side of that defensive line.

915
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: Well just remember, just remember, Danny. The dartboards behind me,

916
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: still right. So all these positions we took, we talked

917
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:41,399
Speaker 1: about cornerback, safety, defensive tackle, defensive van, wide receiver. If

918
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: you threw it at the dartboard at the position, whatever

919
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,960
