This is nick Shot 3 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 4 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 5 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: and Nicki Spagnola. Well, well, I'm sure not Everson. So 6 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: we got one old white sportscaster one and one black 7 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: former player.

Okay, okay, okay. 12 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: Because we don't have Bill Jones here today, we don't 13 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: have Everson Walls here today, so we had to go 14 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: to the bullpen. But in our bullpen, our depth is 15 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: so good. Yes, we have starters in there coming out 16 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: of a bullpen.

Wow, you showed up 20 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: in eighty six, right, Brad was already here by that time, 21 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: ten years. Yes, and I got here in eighty four. 22 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: So when you showed up the three of us, we've 23 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: been kind of doing something with these Dallas Cowboys ever since. 24 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: Thank you, and I appreciate it. I've been blessed and 25 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: we've been blessed to get to know who used to 26 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: be the kitchen. All right, well, we are gonna do 27 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: a little cowboy talk here on this Thursday. Need to 28 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: point out that the Cowboys finally got in a full 29 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday. It's been a while since they've been 30 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: able to practice, and they hit the pause button today 31 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: for Marcus Paul's memorial service. It was held at the 32 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: North Colony Church of Christ, which is in Colony, Texas, 33 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: just down the road from here, and the Cowboys decided 34 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: that if they got a little football stuff in in 35 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: the morning, because I'm sure everybody had to show up 36 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: to get tested as they do on a daily basis, 37 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: they did a little bit of football and then they 38 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: paused and allowed the players to virtually watch the memorial service, 39 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: which I think was a really good idea. I don't 40 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: know about you guys, but when I heard Mike McCarthy 41 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: talked the other day about this pause that they've had 42 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: has given them time to reflect after Marcus's death the 43 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: day before for Thanksgiving. I think that helped out. I 44 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: think it helped out if especially if you saw the 45 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: interviews with the guys on Wednesday, you can tell it 46 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: the emotions were still pretty raw with Layton Vanderish the 47 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: things that he had to say, So I think that 48 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: certainly helped out. It was ended up being a ninety 49 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: minute memorial service and it was pretty pretty well done, 50 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: pretty emotional, but I think it was something that these 51 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: players needed to see. I don't know about you guys, 52 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: what your thoughts are on it, but I think it 53 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: will help out in the grieving process. Well, I don't 54 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: think there's And if you just want to know what 55 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: the impact of this event was, Mike McCarthy, I believe now, 56 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: and forgive me, because you're talking about Wednesday and Thursday 57 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: and I have no idea what the hell do right, 58 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what day it is in real life, 59 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: and I don't know what day it is in football 60 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: week because I can go from if you tell me, 61 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: I got a Thursday game, Thursday game, then Friday's Monday, 62 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: and I'm good to go. But I had right now. 63 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: I got no idea what day it is, but I 64 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: believe it was Monday of this week, real Monday, when 65 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: McCarthy spoke right now, when he said, at like midday, 66 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock in the morning, whatever it was, that he 67 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: had not yet watched the tape of the game before. 68 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it was last Friday, maybe it was the day 69 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: after the game. Yeah, he had not Yeah, and he 70 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: had not watched the tape because he'd been on the 71 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: phone all morning talking to people from around the league 72 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: who worked with and knew Marcus. Now, when's the last 73 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: time you heard a head coach at like noon, the 74 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: day after a day game say that he hadn't watched 75 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: the tape. Yeah, I mean that's never. I have never 76 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: experienced that. And you can tell he was not over it, 77 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: and I'm sure a lot of those guys are not 78 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: over it. So I agree with you. I think they 79 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: needed I think they needed the time. Maybe you were, 80 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: you know, you would know better, Nate in the locker room. Uh, 81 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: if you could, you can just imagine somebody dying right 82 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: in front of your eyes. What kind of an impact 83 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: that would have on you is somebody like that who 84 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: you're around so much, you know, uh, you know, the 85 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: gruff guy. But coach Warsick was close to us, like 86 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: this guy, you know, and uh, you know, and and me, 87 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: I just I just say prayers to the family and 88 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: and and I hope that these players can get through 89 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: it in the coaches and you know, it's just, uh, 90 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: it's it's a sad thing when you lose somebody you love, friend, 91 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: family or whatever. So I you know, when I hear 92 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: things like that. Man, you know, it ain't like I 93 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: don't want to say that no one's important, but when 94 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: you have a guy that has to touch every player 95 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: and some coaches with their workout schedules, and he leads 96 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: these guys out on the field for stretch and brings 97 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: them up and when every injury, he's a part of it. 98 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: So you know, that's the impact that I can't even express. 99 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: And so as you say sorry to the family, in 100 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: to his family, personal family, into the cowboy family, you guys, 101 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: because every time I saw him, he was smiling, smiling, 102 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: and he spoke to me, and he was on the run. Yes, 103 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: he was always moving right, yeah, but he always had 104 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: a smile and He always had a nice word. And 105 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, since twenty eleven with the Collective Bargaining Agreement, 106 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: strength coaches have their hands literally and figuratively on the 107 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: players months before their position coaches. They're quote unquote football coaches. 108 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: They're like the head coach at that time, right, and 109 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: they have them all year round. If you're hurt, you're 110 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: not maybe in a meeting with your position coach and 111 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: your coordinator, but you're darn shure with the trainers and 112 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: the conditioning staff. They just touch everybody. Think how much 113 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: time Laton Vander has spent with him after having the 114 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: surgery he had last year and then having to rehab, 115 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: you know, in the building, and because of the COVID nineteen, 116 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: the guys that were rehabbing were the only ones allowed 117 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: to be in there. And the strength and conditioning so him, 118 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: he and Marcus Paul and Britt Brown, you know, they're 119 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: they're tight. And then he breaks his collar bone and 120 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: now he's back in there working with those guys again. 121 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: You know, make there's a thing about um that you're 122 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: talking about why they needed the time. And it occurs 123 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: to me, we see these gay you and I we 124 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: see these guys and I put Nate in the category 125 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: of these guys. These are they all know they can 126 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: be injured when they play. They're aware of that. They've 127 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: all been injured in some degree at some point. But 128 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: this is not an injury. And all of a sudden, 129 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: these players, especially the players coach is usually a little older, 130 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: and they figured out they're they're not quite so immortal. 131 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: But players football players have to, in my opinion, have 132 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: some sense of invincibility about them to go out and 133 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: play this game. You can't worry about getting hurt. And 134 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: that's the that's the ultimate thing. And you know, we 135 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: always joke about Nate probably lived a little bit of 136 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: this about guys in any sport who are active players 137 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: think of themselves as young men, as being bulletproof and 138 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:32,599 Speaker 1: invisible right right, and now, this is not an injury. 139 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: This is a slap in the face, bucket of cold 140 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: water right in front of your eyes. You're mortal. Yeah, 141 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: And you know what it made me think back? So 142 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: what I did, and I mentioned it, I think on 143 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: our show a day or so ago or whenever, like 144 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: I said, I don't know what day it is. I 145 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: counted up. There's fifty three guys on the roster, there's 146 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: sixteen practice squad guys and whoever else is on injured reserve. 147 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: So we're talking seventies some guys, right, And I counted 148 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: up forty nine guys on this team are no more 149 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: than twenty five years old. Think back to when you 150 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: were twenty five and and think about you know, you're 151 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: you're you're not around death to young people or people 152 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, maybe your grandparents something like that. But to 153 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: these guys, this guy was like a father to him 154 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: in there, and at that young age, you got to 155 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: deal with death. And I was thinking back to myself 156 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: and I only could think of one person was my 157 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: cousin's husband. My cousin's ten years older than me. It 158 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: was her husband passed away, and I remember being just 159 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: I was mad. I was like what, why and how 160 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: and how old was he? He was? He I don't 161 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: even think he had hit maybe forty at the most. 162 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: He was. He was a former marine, you know, and 163 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: it was like, God, what what's going on? And I 164 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: remember being mad. So yeah, I think it was good. 165 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: And I don't how close you guys got to Marcus Um. 166 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: You know, i'd see him, I'd say hi, right, because 167 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: the weight room is that's their domain, right, you don't 168 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: go in there. You just don't go in there. Um. 169 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: And I think the longest conversation I had with him 170 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: one day, so it'd have been two years ago. I 171 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: was showing somebody around and we were looking through the 172 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: glass wall to the weight room and the guy was 173 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: pretty impressed with everything. All of a sudden, Marcus comes 174 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: out and I wouldn't even know he knew who I was, 175 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: and he's going, hey, Mickey, Mickey, I go what He goes, 176 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: Mike Weissick wants you come in? And I said he 177 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: does what just like that, right? We don't oisick? Right? Yeah? 178 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: Yeah ed? He says, yeah, yeah, come in. So we 179 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: kind of chatted as I walked in, and Mike was like, hey, 180 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: bring the guy in here, show him around. What are 181 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: you doing? And I was like, oh, okay, which, by 182 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: the way, that was the real right, that is right. 183 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: But the boy his exterior was don't tread on my 184 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: treadmill in here there. Yeah. And so what Marcus Paul 185 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: was was the real Mike Woyseek without the gruff. He 186 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: could be businesslike because he had to be, but he 187 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: wasn't great. He was just he was a sweet man, 188 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: and think about the fine line those guys have to 189 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: draw between being that nice to these guys, befriending the players, 190 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: but also saying, oh, oh wait a minute, now, you're 191 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: not getting away with murder in here just because I'm 192 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: friendly with you. And I saw someoney comment about that, 193 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: but really that was the longest conversation I might have 194 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: had with him. And I was sitting there reading all 195 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: the tributes, all the tweets, and I'm going, you know 196 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: what I missed out. I missed out on getting to 197 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: know a really neat guy because I just just wasn't 198 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: around him that much. And I don't know how much 199 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: interaction you guys. I mean, you know, after time, after 200 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: all this time, I really try to foster That's this, 201 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: by the way, the hardest thing for me about this year. 202 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: I really try to foster some kind of a personal 203 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: relationship with as many people as I can, because you're 204 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: gonna learn something and U and sometimes you run into 205 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: Marcus Paul who there's never an interview that you want 206 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: from him, right, there's never a quote. It's just you're 207 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: gonna be better off for knowing him. And so I 208 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: know him a little bit and we had several conversations 209 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: and he it's you can really understand why you were 210 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: completely right. They needed the time. Did you get to 211 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: know him at all? Like I said, I just met 212 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: him a couple of times. But the greatness did you 213 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: play again? Did you not play again? But let me 214 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: say this, fellas, I have nothing more to add to 215 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: take away because the greatness of a man is how 216 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: many people that that were miss him And it's just 217 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: not no one that's not gonna miss him. So that 218 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: showed you what's a guy was. Now some guys that 219 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: then went away and I'd be like, wow, okay, and 220 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: you go to bed, but this guy here, you pray 221 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: for his family? Yeah yeah, and and and it was 222 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: certainly tough on him, his kids, his wife. But anyway, 223 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: it was could you could you give us a list 224 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: of some of those guys who some guy that go 225 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: away and just go to bed, some guys pray for him. 226 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: But it was a it was a really neat uh 227 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: memorial service people talk to, you know, And before this happened, 228 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: I didn't put two and two together that uh Marcus 229 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: and DJ were teammates at Syracuse. Not only were they teammates, 230 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: have you yes, Have you seen the pictures? Have you 231 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: seen Daryl Johnston's quotes about Darryl wore thirty two and 232 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,479 Speaker 1: Marcus wore ten. And Daryl tweeted the day after Marcus 233 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: passed he said, every every time they're in the same 234 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: class nineteen eighty nine, and Darryl said, every time he 235 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: walks past a clock and it's ten thirty two, that's 236 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: he said, that's me and Marcus he's ten, I'm thirty two. 237 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: And that's how kind that's the kind of an impact 238 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: he had on Darryl as a teammates. You said, co captains. Yeah, 239 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: and that's going back. Yeah. So eighty four, almost forty 240 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: years eighty four was their freshman year at at Sarah 241 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: excuse they got together. And I don't think I'm giving 242 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: away anything, but one of his h his Marcus's roommate 243 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: for those years at Syracuse, was at the memorial service 244 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: and spoke and they've they've been tight, and like DJ, 245 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: if you've heard DJ talk about it, he basically pointed 246 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: out that you know, you you get busy, right, and 247 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: you hey, we were close and we knew each other, 248 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: and he said, but not until he got here that 249 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: they kind of reconnect on a personal basis because DJ 250 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: was part of the expendables, right, the guys that would 251 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: come in and work out, the old guys Tony Tilbert, 252 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: and that they didn't drag you in there. They try, 253 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: they try it, but you know what, see who did 254 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: you turn down? Yeah? But you know, and once again, 255 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: it's certain people that I look at. If coach Jimmy 256 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: Johnson say nice things about you, well that's a pretty 257 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: short list. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So when I 258 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: hear you got like coach Johns, Wow, you know, Markus 259 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: tesched a lot of people. Yeah, yeah, he certainly did, 260 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: and and and and I guess I didn't realize or 261 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: take the time to read it about his career at 262 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: Syracuse getting drafted in the fourth round by the Bear. 263 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: So you would have played against him in that playoff 264 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: game ninety one season. Sure. And uh that's why it 265 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: was so ironic that Washington was the team that the 266 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys played when that happened, because Ron Rivera was teammates 267 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: with Marcus Paul Chicago. Yeah, yeah, absolutely so. Uh yeah, 268 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: his antenna when he got back into coaching strength and 269 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: conditioning with Wisik and New Orleans and then going to 270 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: New England, then going to the Jets, and then the Giants, 271 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: and I didn't realize he was with the Giants for 272 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: eleven seasons, won two more Super Bowls. It's got five 273 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings. Wow, it's amazing. But that maybe that's 274 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: the test of a man, you know, not what you accomplished, 275 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: but the trail that you kind of left behind and 276 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: the people you touched.

Wow. So the Cowboys, Um, we'll get back 325 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: to practice tomorrow. I believe that's Friday Wednesday. They did 326 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: have somewhat of a practice. Uh, they treated it as 327 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: the first practice back from a bye week. So he 328 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: went kind of easy on them. And then they did 329 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: something where teams don't normally get to do. They watched 330 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: the next opponent on TV. Had the opportunity to do 331 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: that after their meetings as by positions. Do you ever 332 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: do that with your teammates? Watch the next opponent live 333 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: on television? A possible opponent. We had a shot, I 334 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: think when Jimmy first got had to get into playoffs, 335 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: so we all admitted a Cowboy cafe. The last that 336 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: was the last game of the nineties season. You needed 337 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: New Orleans to lose. It was Green Bay, Yeah, somebody. 338 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: The reason that I remember is I did the game 339 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: in Green Bay for CBS Radio and they had to lose. 340 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: And then the Cowboys were in Atlanta in a rainstorm 341 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: and that was Babe Waffenberg's last He was talking about 342 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: the next game. Yeah, this was the Monday night game. 343 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: We needed them somebody to win. They needed the way 344 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: before the last week. They need they needed the UH 345 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: Saint Star lose to the Rams. And it was Monday 346 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: night and it went down to the last second of 347 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: the game, and I believe h New Orleans kicked the 348 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: winning field goal as time expired, and but they were 349 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: all there watching the game. But if you were at 350 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: Cowboys Cafe and it was nineteen ninety, we're any of 351 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: you paying attention to the game. But we were. We 352 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: were into that game. And I'll tell you once we 353 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: saw that we wasn't in it, then later yeah, we 354 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: wobbled out. They run out of beer or crown or 355 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: whatever else. Yes, sir, seven and nine was going to 356 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Yes, so don't be making fun of 357 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: seven to nine this year. Right, you would have thought 358 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: that was the greatest thing in the world. As a player. 359 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: You you never give up as a player, You never 360 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: give up. You just you never know what happened. You 361 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: just never give up. And that's kind of the situation. 362 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are in now at three and eighth, five 363 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: games to go, and they will return to practice on Friday. 364 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: So today is Tuesday, yes, yes, yes, yes, And then 365 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: you got Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. You travel, but they 366 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: normally practice on Saturday, which is Monday's Saturday. Right, so 367 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: practice and travel. So now I think I'm gonna now 368 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: I can. And the only problem now, now now I 369 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: know that that Thursday is Tuesday, But the problem is 370 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: the Baltimore team that we saw yesterday was still missing 371 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: twelve or fifteen COVID patients, right, and they they can 372 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: get eight of them back, Yes, they can. Will they 373 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: get the quarterback back? I mean he's one of them 374 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: who can come back. Okay, The tight end Andrews from Oklahoma, 375 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: he won't be back, And the wide receiver who used 376 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: to be with New Orleans he won't be back, Snead. 377 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: And there's one other player who won't be back, a linebacker. 378 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: The rest of them can come back. So um, I'm 379 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: not entirely sure how much good they got out of 380 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: watching that game in terms of preparing for what Baltimore 381 00:22:53,560 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: can do or will do. Their center yesterday was a 382 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: rookie who has been on he's been inactive all year 383 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: and it was his first NFL snaps because their first 384 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: two centers are on the COVID list, and one of 385 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: those guys is their backup guard and tackle also, so 386 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean all of that stuff's different. So joined the 387 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: Cowboys boat, yeah, but same thing except injuries instead of COVID. Yeah, 388 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: on their offensive line, right on their offensive line. So 389 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: will these guys see here's the key thing, though, do 390 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: they get back allowed back into the building. To be 391 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: able to practice for the game, because I start counting 392 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: days I don't know Jackson, and I thought it was 393 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: getting pretty close to Yeah, he's eligible to play, but 394 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: can he practice? You know? And that's a lot of 395 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: work to you guys commin y'all because I'm not doing 396 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: that type of work to find out. So that's too 397 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: much work, man. So you either can play or you 398 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: can't play. All I want to know is who lining 399 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: up on that day. And this is what this COVID 400 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: world has brought us is today I can't play two 401 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: days from now. I am practicing two weeks, but today 402 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: I can play, and I'm playing now. If you're an 403 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: offensive lineman and you're preparing for them, you may not 404 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: have seen that's right yesterday who you're going to see. 405 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: But I will say this, when training camps were starting 406 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: and we were all trying to guess what was going 407 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: to happen, it seemed to me that every team at 408 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: some point would just deal with not having a guy 409 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: available for a couple of weeks for COVID. And that 410 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 1: hasn't happened obviously. Baltimore is an extreme case. Tenver ran 411 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: into a little problem the other day and Now as 412 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: we get later in the year and the weather is 413 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: worse than the breaks going, there's more and more guys. 414 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: But every team has not had players unavailable because of 415 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: the virus, right, And so I think in that respect, 416 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: the league maybe has exceeded some some expectations. I was 417 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: one of the guys that from day one have always 418 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: believed that put on your mask, if you you know, 419 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: it's a little bit scarier than that, put on your gloves, 420 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: and let's face this thing, because now by what's happening 421 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: here the sports world, the real world, people are starting 422 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: to move forward and figure this thing out. And as 423 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: this thing go forward, it will get a little bit 424 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: worse because of the weather change, but we would deal 425 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: with it without panic. And as we see now, the 426 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: world does not fall apart because the ravens lamar Jackson 427 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: and the world continue to move on. So now we 428 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: can just relax. If he's there, Like I said, if 429 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: he's there, he's there, you just have to deal with 430 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: And so, uh would he be that same guy? He won't. 431 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, we don't know the effects. That's that's 432 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: the only thing that scares me. We don't know the 433 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: effect of how to each person. Each person's going to 434 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: affect differently. So will he have a little breathing issue, 435 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: you know, trying to get his legs on him? Would 436 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: he be you know, we saw it physically affect Cam 437 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: Newton well affected. But another thing we don't know is 438 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: when a guy is missing time because he's tested positive, 439 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: right that he's missing time, that doesn't mean he is symptomatic. 440 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: It could be someone, thank thank you. So the guy 441 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: may be affected, he may not be affected. And um, actually, 442 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: if r G three is the quarterback, then he's just 443 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: going to run through the Cowboys defense. That doesn't really 444 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: matter which one of them, don't. Right. The thing that's 445 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: that's amazing here is we we finally have some similar, 446 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: some order on Tomine on defense. Because I'm just a 447 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: firm believer that we're gonna get a few of our 448 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: guys back next year our offense. You know, I'm not 449 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: saying all of will be in place, but we will 450 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: have enough guys on our offense next year to be effective, 451 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: to be more than effective. Now, the problem is, well, 452 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: these guys, the young guys, have enough knowledge and understanding 453 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: on what the NFL game is about. Because I just 454 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: believe and I know we probably need to be talking 455 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 1: about the Raiders. But I believe that the NFL and 456 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: all major sports will find a way to practice. What 457 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: has been missing in all the major sports is practice 458 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: except the NBA. Because they can. They can bubble with 459 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: they got twelve players, fifteen players. They can bubble mostly 460 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: more important, you know, easier than we can. You know. 461 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: And that's an interesting question because I m I raised 462 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,239 Speaker 1: the question to somebody the other day, why not have 463 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: every team bubble right now? The league can't do it. 464 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: There's too many of them. As you're saying, why couldn't 465 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have already done that with their coaches, but 466 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: the coaches are in a bubble? Yeah, why could you 467 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: not have every two We're not talking about four months now, 468 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: We're talking about one month bubble the rest of the season. Yeah, 469 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: bubble every team New England, find a place in Rhode 470 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: Island or wherever you want to go and bubble up Dallas. 471 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: You've got that. The OMNI is right there, and that's 472 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: where your coaches are, and that's where your players put 473 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: themselves in training camp for a month to finish out 474 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: the season. Bubble up. And I don't know if you 475 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: guys saw the interview yesterday a halftime with the commission Commissioner, 476 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: and they basically asked him, have you considered a playoff bubble? 477 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: And he said, no, We think our protocols if everybody 478 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: follows the rules, but I do think we can do 479 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: more to create isolation. To me, he was saying, in 480 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: the teams that make the playoffs get in a bubble. 481 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: Do what the Cowboys are doing right now with their coaches, 482 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: because now you're only looking at so many teams. You're 483 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 1: not looking at thirty two teams time seven. That's right, 484 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: But I would respectfully say to the commissioner, um, be 485 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: a responsible federal government and don't leave it to the states. 486 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: Right right in the playoffs, you just tell everyone that 487 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: they've that's what you need to do. Just do it. 488 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: And I think he was hinting towards that that the playoff, 489 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: if you get in the playoffs, you don't have to 490 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: bring nate. How many teams? How many are in the playoffs? 491 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: How many teams? I think sixteen right now? Sixteen they 492 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: will bring in sixteen football players to one spot like 493 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: the NBA did, is probably unrealistic. Sixteen teams you mean, yeah, yeah, 494 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: you said players, Yet sixteen football teams may but to 495 00:29:54,760 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: tell each team to isolate what's up? Nate. See, see, 496 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: this is where I have an issue with a power. 497 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: There's three powers that I know.

How many 578 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: tickets are they making it? Yeah, I'm not sure. I 579 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: mean it's not eighty thousand. Yeah, no, absolutely not for boxing. 580 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: I think this might be a pay per view for me. 581 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: I went the last couple of times he fought one 582 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: here at the Ford Center and one at at and 583 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: T Stadium. I think, right this is just me right now. 584 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good idea to go to 585 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: a restaurant. Yeah, let alone a big sporting event two 586 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: or three more months where it's been a hellscape of 587 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: an eight or nine months and it's and here we are, 588 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: and we all made it to this point except the 589 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: ones who didn't accept the ones And you said something 590 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: before and eight that I wish more people would pay 591 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: attention to because the presentation that we get is about 592 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: you you live or you die. That's ninety nine percent survival. Yes, 593 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: that's correct. Now, do We not all know people who 594 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: have had it didn't die and have residual physical effects, 595 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,240 Speaker 1: and they don't yet know how much longer those effects 596 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: will last. Thank you. It's this is not to be 597 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 1: messed with. So I'm really not doing much more than this. 598 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: You know, see my son, and I mean that's about 599 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: it for you know, I would come this far. We 600 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: can do it three more months. I remarked to some 601 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: of the other day, I said, you know, I don't 602 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: think it's a good thing. I like where I live 603 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 1: because I don't think I've eaten a meal anywhere else 604 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: but home, lunch here, and at the stadium when I 605 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: went to a Cowboys game in the press box. That's it. 606 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,919 Speaker 1: I haven't eaten anywhere since the end of March. Well. 607 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: You know one thing I found out, man, and I'm 608 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: truly happy now, is I know that I love my wife. 609 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: There you go otherwise every day? Can I tell you 610 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: something more important? Wow? You know that she loves you? Yeah, 611 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: because after all this time, if she didn't really love you, 612 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 1: than you'd be out to be in the street. Brother, 613 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: if you were that lucky. I'm telling you and so 614 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 1: follow you guys and gals, that you didn't like you. 615 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 1: Go back to work, go back to the office. So date, 616 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: you said something about the game yesterday Baltimore Pittsburgh, and 617 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: somebody asked me today, what did you learn? And I said, well, 618 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: here's what I learned. No matter how badly you might 619 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: struggle on offense, that doesn't mean you have to struggle 620 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: on defense. Defense can keep you in a game, Yes 621 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,439 Speaker 1: you can. And unfortunately, what we've seen here is the 622 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 1: defense has rarely given the Cowboys a chance to stay 623 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: in games. I under stand, you know all the debate 624 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: on fake punt, no fake punt, smart, dumb, desperate, but 625 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: that didn't mean the next play you gotta give up 626 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: a twenty three yard touchdown room. And so the defense 627 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: can help this team out when they're struggling out an 628 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: offensive line and they're not scoring a heck of a 629 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: lot of points. This is a we were probably gonna 630 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 1: set a thousand more times, you and me and everybody 631 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 1: and you make we're gonna say a thousand more Time's 632 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: strange year. The way this game was played was we 633 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: were trying to match up with this team. When they 634 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: went two tight ends, we're bringing out big people. When 635 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: they went h three wives we're bringing out and it 636 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: got so weird for coaches, so they went dime needs 637 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: to forget it. We're gonna we're gonna stay without high 638 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: bred package, and they went with it. And we have 639 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: nobody that could tackle these guys. So you know what, Mick, 640 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: I ain't giving up on this year by no means. 641 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: But let's play this year out defensively and offensively. Let 642 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: these young guys have opportunity, and the veterans that you 643 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: know they're gonna keep, let them play. Just let them 644 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 1: play shore the way to line up at ask everybody 645 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: to do the best job they can. Let this year 646 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: play out. Let's figure out a way to have a 647 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: real training camp, a real offseason, and let's see where 648 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: we fit now because this year here it's critical. It's 649 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: critical for our head coach, our defensive, offensive coording is 650 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: everybody can learn something about themselves and the players in 651 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: front of them. And more importantly, just promise me we're 652 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 1: not gonna get guys on this team that don't care. 653 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: I see a lot that it ain't the defense, it 654 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: ain't the coaches, it's the guys. You gotta get a 655 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: few more guys that care. You know you touched on 656 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: two things. One is a texted baby yesterday or the 657 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: day before, And I said, you know, feel free to 658 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 1: slap me for even saying this. What's the Cowboys record 659 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: right now? Three eight? All three other teams, I will 660 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 1: make this bold prediction, the other three teams in the 661 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: division before the Cowboys take the field in Baltimore will 662 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: also have their eighth loss. So you just can't say that, 663 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: no matter how bad what we've been looking at has been, 664 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: you can't say you don't have a chance because you're 665 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 1: going to take the field probably even in losses with 666 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: everybody else. So you got to win some games. Now. 667 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: The next thing that you were talking about is um 668 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: think back to training camp. You know you're talking about it. 669 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: They're going a dime and they're doing this. This team's 670 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: base defense is nickel, Yes it is. They have never 671 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't miss a practice. To me, I 672 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: did not miss a practice like you like you in 673 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: training camp, but there were never a practice with it 674 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: was three linebackers on the Thank you. Now if the linebacker, 675 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: if the linebackers you have don't play like all stars. 676 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: Now you get what some of what we have been 677 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: looking at and I mean, shoot me, when you're not 678 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: running the ball that well and Sean Lee's healthy, can 679 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 1: I have those three linebackers on the field. I'm not 680 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 1: a coach. I don't know very much, but I know 681 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: what I'm looking at is not very good, and so 682 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: can we do something else? Now, what you said about 683 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: guys who care so right, And one of the reasons 684 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: I think they started playing better is additioned by subtraction 685 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: with some of the personnel moves they back and you 686 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: that you you took away some guys and you empowered 687 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: people like Armstrong and Neville Gallimore and those and those guys. 688 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: Now you have some more injuries. You lost Diggs, he's 689 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: your best corner. Anthony Brown's probably your second best corner. 690 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: He's probably not going to be able to play again 691 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: this week. Well, okay, that's personnel. You just you have 692 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: to do the best you can. But and they've tried. 693 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 1: They've tried this. Two was it two games ago? They 694 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: played five defensively. It was a road game. I know 695 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: that they played five defensive linemen the whole game. And 696 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: really Armstrong was more of a stand up linebacker. It 697 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: was like the strong side guy. Yeah, except he was 698 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: up on the line of scrimmage most of the time. So, 699 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we all love offense. We all love the 700 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 1: emphasis the organization has put on acquiring offensive players, making 701 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: a premium of it for so many years. And I 702 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: think what Nate said before is really important the offense 703 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: next year, as far as I know, they're gonna get 704 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: both tackles back. Yes, they're going to be. If you resign, Luna, 705 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna have Beotish and Luna, you're gonna be stronger 706 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: upfront than you've been. You now know that Jarwin and 707 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: Schultz can be too effective tight ends. Oh, by the way, 708 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna have your quarterback back. I think your offense 709 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: is fine. I should have invited you guys on the show. 710 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: Everybody got tired of me saying that about two linebackers 711 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: one linebacker. Can I have a real linebacker be that 712 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: third guy instead of a defensive end standing up masquerading 713 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: as a linebacker or your fourth safety. Yeah, yeah, see, 714 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: And I don't understand. Say we see that, we you. 715 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: You can still play defense in this league, and if 716 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: you don't put some emphasis on it. What we have 717 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: been watching for the last two or three months is 718 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: what you're gonna get and which, by the way, Trayvon 719 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: Diggs was out there doing some rehab on the field yesterday, 720 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: so maybe he's not that far away. It might not 721 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: have been a weight bearing bone he fractured in his foot. 722 00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: I would think it's going to be a short week 723 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: after this game, right, maybe the final three games he 724 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: could very well be back. Anthony Brown you mentioned was 725 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: on the side. Yeah, he's still fighting that rib and 726 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't. He was not close to practicing, yeah, 727 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 1: but he was at least doing running and rehab. So 728 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: I just now you're down to the same problem in 729 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: the second I just think this coaching staff needs to 730 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: really put emphasis on next week. These two games one 731 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 1: at a time, but don't throw them away because you're saying, well, 732 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,919 Speaker 1: I've got two more division games coming. You gotta win 733 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: every game because you're gonna I'm telling you're gonna wake 734 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: up Tuesday morning and find the other teams in your 735 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: division with the same number of losses. So Brad is 736 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: not betting on the Giants winning at Seattle with with 737 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: without Daniel Jones, right, He's not betting on Washington winning 738 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh. I am not and he's not betting on 739 00:44:55,080 --> 00:45:00,760 Speaker 1: Philadelphia winning at Green Bay. I am not. If they win, wonder, 740 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: it's amazing. And you know what, for those teams, it 741 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 1: gets worse because then the Giants have Arizona, Washington is 742 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: at San Francisco, and Philly gets to play host to 743 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: New Orleans. So how about this, how much time do 744 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: you we can stretch in another minute? Or which of 745 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: the if you're objective and you're not, we're not doing 746 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,720 Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys show. Which of the four NFC East 747 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: teams right now do you think is best position to 748 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: win the division? I think the Washington risk is that 749 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 1: was going to be my guest because of their defense. 750 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: I think their defense, but do you think think about it, 751 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: quarterback is more stable. That's why I think it's Washington. 752 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 1: I think it's Washington because because of they've got an 753 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:54,760 Speaker 1: outstanding defense, but they've got the best quarterback situation right now. 754 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 1: And I'm not knocking Andy Dalton. I think that what 755 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: he's dealing with in the offensive line is somewhat problematic. 756 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: And those guys they can play better. Maybe they can 757 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: play better, and the and the game plan has to accommodate, 758 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: you know, get the one thing you can get from 759 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: watching Pittsburgh and Baltimore is if you can get the 760 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 1: ball out fast, then you know you don't necessarily have 761 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: to deal so much with the pass rush. But I 762 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: would say Washington right now is best position because I 763 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: think Alex Smith and the way their offensive line is playing. 764 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: They don't have the Cowboys receivers NA named the next 765 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: well you will because you did play by play the 766 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 1: next receiver after Terry McLaurin. Yeah, some guy named Sims. 767 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 1: I think they have two guys named Sims. Two guys 768 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,360 Speaker 1: you can't tell them apart to take by choice. Yeah, 769 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 1: so four and eight would be looking pretty good just 770 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 1: telling you Tuesday night. You just they have to really 771 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: concentrate on every game and they have to. They have 772 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 1: to figure out a way to make Baltimore a winnable 773 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: game because they could be. They could be four and eight, 774 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 1: And right there the reason you can beat Baltimore. And 775 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: I know it's simply said, put eight in the box 776 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 1: and don't be scared. Don't don't be scared to pass 777 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 1: that ain't there. Let him they passed as a camouflage 778 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 1: at this time. Just stop the running game and let's 779 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 1: see what they're throwing. I promise you they can't throw 780 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 1: good enough to win. What's my number here? Thirty second 781 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 1: and run defense one hundred and fifty six yards a game, Dallas. Yes, 782 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: I'll put eight in the balls out there. Give me 783 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: three linebackers. Yeah yeah, I'm telling you, man running, you 784 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: would not run the ball this team. They can't. I 785 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 1: don't care if his RG three, I don't care if 786 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 1: his Lamar. He's not progressed since he started from day 787 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: one to now. I don't see the progression that's needed 788 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 1: to be a next level quarter of what you do. 789 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,799 Speaker 1: But you have to. But you have to deal with 790 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 1: the Baltimore defense yet. Oh now, you didn't say that, 791 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 1: I just did. Maybe they can store more than one 792 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: one touchdown. You gotta score at least three touchdowns gets 793 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 1: them all right. You don't get this kind of information 794 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 1: every day, just anywhere. I appreciate everybody joining for Mick Shot. 795 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: Thank you for filling in day, Brad, Thanks for stopping. 796 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: This was a delight of a lot of fun.
