First of all, Bobby boy Bobby Boyd and 24 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: my uncle, his name was Joe Boyd Walls. They're both 25 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: in the Garland Hall of Fame right now. And if 26 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: you let the story go as legends told, my uncle 27 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: beat Bobby Boyd so bad in the hundred yard dash 28 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: that he turned around and started running back. Was at 29 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: the end when he crossed the finish line. Now, as 30 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: I continue with this, I'm I gave you all kinds 31 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: of hints. Nineteen seventy seven, who was the quarterback for 32 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: Garland High School? Well, I know who the star basketball 33 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: player was for Garland High School in nineteen seventy seven. 34 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: That would be one Ricky Pierce, who went on, there 35 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: you go, good job, you digress. You're digressing. Don't get 36 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: you're digressing Garland. Where did hercan can't believe it. I'm 37 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: sitting right here and you don't know where did Hercules? 38 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: Hercules Walls, my second cousin, one of the best high 39 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: school quarterbacks that Garland has ever had. He had a 40 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: fullback by the name of Philip Walls, who was his brother, 41 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,839 Speaker 1: and they went through. I believe they made it through 42 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: to the regionals with a veer quarterback no more than 43 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: five feet seven inches tall. He was one of the 44 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 1: fastest guys to come out of Garland in history. He 45 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: was almost he was this close to making the Look 46 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: at that, my man Chris got it all, baby, He 47 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: was this close. He was this close to making it 48 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: to the Olympic, to the Olympics in the two hundred 49 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: meter dash. He was passed up after finish line. Was 50 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: less than ten years ago. Call Lewis, Leo Barell and 51 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: some other blur passed him up right before he finished 52 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: the finish line. I'm so proud of my cousin Herkey Walls, 53 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: who by the way right now is a pastor in Orlando, Florida, 54 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: doing very well. Check him out on Facebook, kay once 55 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: in a while. So all right, y'all have to check 56 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: you out Turkey Waters. The next time you come up 57 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: with some white dude that played quarterback in Texas and 58 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: you you know somebody, boy, Bobby Boyd is one of 59 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: the greatest ever come out of Garland played at University 60 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: of Oklahoma and in the NFL. Of course, that's what 61 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: they say in the suburbs. But in the hood, in 62 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: the hood, everybody knows Joe boy Walls and he was 63 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: way better than Bobby Boyd. No, I won't say way bad. Now, 64 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: both of them work ever since. I think we can 65 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: make it through an entire mix shots without Mickey saying 66 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: a word. I'm going there. I'm going there. Shut up, Mickey, 67 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm going there. We're gonna get there. Okay, So what's 68 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: the G four? Then, if it's not for gy on 69 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: the docky Walls, we got, we got, We got ten 70 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: minutes to go in this segment, I think I can 71 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: fill a buster and keeps bags out of the entire 72 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: I've had about enough of this, okay, So then who's 73 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback in Grambling school history? Oh? Come on, 74 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 1: come on, Doug Williams. Baby, I was there, Doug Williams. 75 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: I was there. I got toasted many times in practice. 76 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: So that's a testament to his great right. There you go. 77 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: So we've established it is Grambling. It's not. It is Grambling, 78 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: thank you very much, sir. It couldn't. That's Grambling State 79 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: now not Grambling College. For all those old heads that 80 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,119 Speaker 1: keep thinking Eddie Robinson still alive, He's he's gone, gone 81 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: the glory. But a great man, Eddie Robins. Yes, sir, Yes, sir, 82 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: he was. I could tell I could tell you a 83 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: training camp story about Eddie Robinson, but I guess we 84 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: had eventually need Mickey to speak. Hello, Mickey, No, we 85 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: don't know, we don't. No, we don't be like a 86 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: commercial and see how fire we can go without mentioning 87 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: the show. Okay, I'm out of breath now, Okay, I'm good. 88 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: I just wanted to know, did Bobby boy dunk on you? 89 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: Is that why you remember him? Bobby? Bobby Boyd goes 90 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: back to the fifties, right, Okay? Heck of an athlete, 91 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: heck of an athlete for real? Yeah, that's right, all right, Mickey, Ricky, 92 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: you tell us boy, that was a humdigger of a 93 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: football game last night, wasn't it. I wasn't sure either 94 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: Vikings did what they had to do. Yeah, I didn't 95 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: think either team wanted to win the game. Goodness great, 96 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: So what do you think of the Cowboys? What do 97 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: you think of the Cowboys? Chances? Then, against this Minnesota 98 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: Viking team that's won three straight games. Now, well they've 99 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: they've won three straight. They've beaten Green Bay, Detroit and 100 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: Chicago without a legitimate running back on the field, by 101 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: the way, and boy Nick Foles, what's happened to him? 102 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: Or is the Bears offensive line man bad? That was terrible? 103 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: They're that bad? They are that bad? Wow, you think 104 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have problems. I think most teams have proxy 105 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: different offensive lines, and yet they're still in the hunt. 106 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: And then, lets you know, you got to win any 107 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: way you can spags, No, I don't care what. That's 108 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: why all three fascets are important. You can go into 109 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: a game thinking you got the best running game in 110 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: Vikings history, but sometimes it just doesn't work out and 111 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: you have to find another way to win. That's where 112 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: coaches come in. That's where teammates come in. What's that's 113 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: where the other fastest of the game come in. Been 114 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: saying it all year long, we need all three. You 115 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: can't just depend on one fast of the game. Well, 116 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: maybe the Cowboys can kind of take the blueprint of 117 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: what the Bears did to stop Delvin Cook held him 118 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: to ninety six yards, and that's quite an accomplishment that 119 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: when you look at what they're doing, and even with 120 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: those ninety six yards and having not played as many 121 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: games as Derrick Henry, he still leads the league with 122 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifty four yards rushing in the nine 123 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: games or the eight games that he's played. So yeah, 124 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: the key on that it was ninety six yards on 125 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: thirty carry right exactly and three they did, which is 126 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: they've been a half yards to carry less than what 127 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: he's average. They made sure their defensive front didn't let 128 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: him get to the next level. They were stuffing him 129 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. Next time somebody asked me 130 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: who the Cowboys had trade for. I think that Hicks 131 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: guy's pretty darn good. Huh. Ninety six playing in the 132 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: middle of that defense. My gosh, And they're missing in 133 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: Chicago's missing one of their top guys up front who 134 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: opted out Goldman. It was a first round pick a 135 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: few years ago, and so yeah, they were doing a note, 136 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: they were doing a number up front and lile their 137 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: linebackers to engage. So maybe the Cowboys and we're gonna 138 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: find out, right, if the Cowboys improved play against the 139 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: run these last couple games can carry over into now 140 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: having to face the team that's averaging one hundred and 141 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: fifty three point six yards a game rushing when the 142 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys give up one hundred. I believe the Cowboys had 143 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty seven a game. They've been given 144 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: up rushing, but it's improved these last two games. So 145 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: the key to slowing down the Vikings obviously you better 146 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: stop Delvin Cook. And oh, by the way, don't go 147 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: to sleep on Jefferson, the wide receiver from LSU. My goodness, gracious, 148 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: he put on a performance. He ended up with eight 149 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and thirty five yards. Pretty good, dude, there, 150 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, Spags, I haven't really started my 151 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: research on the Vikings. Is it their offensive line that 152 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: is so good? Is that what allows Delvi and Cook 153 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: to be so successful, because as you say, every time 154 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: I see him, he doesn't get touched until he's on 155 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: the second level. Now, that's when Cook shows what he 156 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: can do, because once he gets in the second level, 157 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: then he's already slicing and dicing and the secondary can't 158 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: handle him. But because the steam is already built up, 159 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: who is the cabalist on that line. Is it the coach? 160 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: Is it the offensive line? Coach? Is that the system 161 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: what allows them to be so consistent and persistent because 162 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: Jefferson had his plays, But you're talking about rather somebody 163 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: thirty times. Like Bill said, that means that you are 164 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: committed to what you do well, because we know Kirk 165 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: Cousins is not who you're going to hang your hat on. Yeah, 166 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: and I think the I think their offensive line is 167 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: pretty good. But I think I noticed about the Bears 168 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: is everybody stayed in their gap. Nobody start chasing the football. 169 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: Everybody was manning their gap and moving with the flow 170 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: and not coming out to allow any cutbacks. The other 171 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: thing with him, you got to be careful of h 172 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: and it's one of the things Mike McCarthy talked about 173 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: yesterday was you know there their outside run game when 174 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: they throw that pitch to him and let him get 175 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: in space, because if you leave space for him, you're 176 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: going to be in trouble. And the other thing you 177 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: better watch out for is when they throw the screen 178 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: pass or not even a screen pass, a little dump 179 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: off to him. You get that guy in space and man, 180 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: he's scouting. So I think Mike McCarthy said yesterday that 181 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: he would liked all his guys to watch the game 182 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: that was their homework assignment, and if they watched that, 183 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: they better buckled their chin straps down, because even though 184 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: he only gained ninety six yards, it's the only third 185 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: time this season he's been he's run for less than 186 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: a hundred yards, so he's been pretty consistent. I'll tell 187 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: you another something about their offensive line. And you know, 188 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, of course, Tony Sperrano was 189 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: their offensive line coach, and rest his soul, he passed 190 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: away right before the season began a couple of years ago, 191 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: and I think they were hurting a little bit after, 192 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: not only obviously emotionally going into that season, but I 193 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: also think that they missed him a lot as far 194 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: as him his coaching ability on that offense line. And 195 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: now I think what they've done on their offensive line 196 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: is evidence. This past week, I mean, they released Pat 197 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: elf Line, who came into his career in twenty seventeen 198 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: with Sperano as his offensive line coach, and he was 199 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: really really strong to begin with. They he came off 200 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: injured reserve and they just flat waived him this week 201 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: and there are ten teams that put in claims on him, 202 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: but that says a lot about what they have on 203 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: their offensive line. And I don't know what was going on. 204 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: There may have been something going on behind the scenes 205 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: with elf line. I'm not sure from an attitude standpoint, 206 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: because there wasn't a spot for him to play on 207 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: that offensive line because guys were playing so well. But 208 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: they've invested in their offensive line. They've got a first 209 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: round draft pick at center and Greg Garrett Bradberry. They 210 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: signed Riley Reef and who was a former first round 211 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: pick of the Lions in free agency in the last 212 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: couple of years. They got Brian O'Neill at right tackle, 213 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: who's a round pick. And they've got another second round pick, 214 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: Ezra Able in a rookie this year plan at a 215 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: guard position. And so yeah, and I think if you 216 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: look across the league, you saw it with the Steelers 217 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: a week ago. The Steelers don't have any injuries on 218 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: their offensive line, and I mean on their team. They 219 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: don't have any injuries outside of their inside linebacker on defense. 220 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: And the healthy teams, the healthy offensive lines are the 221 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: ones that are getting it done. And that's what's happening 222 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: with the Vikings here the last few weeks. They've kind 223 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: of figured things out in the run game, and as 224 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: you heard Mike McCarthy yesterday on his press conference, he 225 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: talks about that outside zone blocking scheme that the Vikings 226 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: have and it's very similar to what Cleveland does. So 227 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys defensively will have their work cut out for 228 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: him against the Vikings this week. So you mean they 229 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: don't have any undrafted rookie starting at right tackle and 230 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: a second year undrafted tackle having been starting at left tackle. 231 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: Goodness great, that's exactly right. Not to mention the center 232 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: that p this hamstring in warm ups, you know what, 233 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: And that might have I'm pretty sure they didn't have. 234 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: That might have been the third biggest loss they had 235 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: other than the two starting tackles. Not having him back 236 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: in there, I think hurt against Pittsburgh. Beannist was playing 237 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: pretty darn well and they can't get him back soon enough. 238 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: By the way, So how's how's Zeke doing? Because I'm 239 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: still looking forward to that thunder enlightening combo for the game. 240 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: I enjoyed how we played, I mean, even with the 241 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: center out, even with our backups and and free agents 242 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: and undrafted and all of this. I thought we really 243 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: exposed Pittsburgh in regards to how they played the run. 244 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about the best team in the 245 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: league right now, and we're gashing them, you know, not 246 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: just with the starter, but with the backup. We talk 247 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: about everybody wants Paula to give more time, but I 248 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: looked at these numbers. They want that bad. I think 249 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: it's the average was pretty good, especially considering that he 250 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: came into the game a little bit limping a little 251 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: bit and Pilot was able to take over. I think 252 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: we're I think as far as the rushing game is concerned, 253 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: I think that might be the strength of this team, 254 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: our rushing, our running game as opposed to rushed defense. 255 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: Well the other part of that, ever, son, is the 256 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: play callers got to use that run game. I mean, 257 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: one of the reasons that Garrett Gilbert, I think one 258 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: of the reasons that he had success a week ago 259 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: running that offense was there was more balance between the 260 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: run game in the past game by necessity because you've 261 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: got a quarterback who doesn't have much experience. But if 262 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: Dalton's the guy going forward, I think that they need 263 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: to have that same kind of approach with Dalton as 264 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback. I mean, I don't think you can expect 265 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: Dalton without the practice time with this offense that Dak 266 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: has had, not only this year in the offseason on 267 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: his own, but also in past years with Maury Cooper 268 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: the last couple of years in Michael Bluff as well. 269 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't think you can expect Dalton to run the 270 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: same offense that Dak was running, obviously, and so I 271 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: think you need to take advantage of the fact that 272 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: that you've got a couple of good running backs. Uh. 273 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: And and also I think you see also with offensive lines, 274 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: even with veteran offensive lines, a lot of times it 275 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: takes a month into the season before they start clicking. Well, now, 276 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: whoever you have upfront, at least you've had him for 277 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: a little bit now, where especially in the run game, 278 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: things can can work out a little bit more. But 279 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: Mickey has a great point about beyondsh I mean, we love, 280 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: we all love Joe Looney, but beat has really showed 281 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: what he can do in the in the month or 282 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: so that he was starting, and I think he's got 283 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: a very bright future. But in Looney in his career, 284 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: outside of the one year where he filled in for 285 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: Frederick and in the first month. But he plays a 286 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: tremendous role on this team. It's a spot starter and 287 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: a great team guy. Uh, and a great guy to 288 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: have on your team. But uh, you want to go 289 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: with and especially the last half of this year, you 290 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: want Beotist to get as many reps as he can. Yeah. 291 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: And it also helps the running game when you get 292 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: off to a nineteen to nine lead, right, and you 293 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: don't have to throw the ball like thirteen to nothing 294 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: to start the game. That's right. You don't have to 295 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: throw the ball fifty four times that Dalton through against Arizona. Yeah, 296 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: that that wasn't in the game plan. Uh. And and 297 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: I know we got to hear what we got to 298 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: hit the break here. But this one last thing, and 299 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: I got to ask this question, and I was wondering, 300 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, And it's always a stat thing. Some stat 301 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: person comes up with this stuff that that Zeke's not 302 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,239 Speaker 1: really good, uh for yards after his first hit, And 303 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: I'm going, what are you talking about? Most of his 304 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: yards have come after first contact because he's plowing right. 305 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: Even in the Pittsburgh game, there was a lot of 306 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: runs that should have been zero in one yard it 307 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: turned into three five yards, right kind of his game. 308 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: And I can't believe somebody came up with a stat 309 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: that he wasn't very good after first contact, and it's like, okay, 310 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: I want to see this first contact is usually it 311 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: is usually in the backfield. This first contact is usually 312 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: in the offensive backfield, which right after he gets the ball, which, 313 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: by the way, is why I believe why McCarthy didn't 314 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: go for it on fourth and inches against the Steelers. 315 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: If you looked at his three previous carries prior to 316 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: that eight yard run that got him in position to 317 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: have the fourth and inches, he got a grand total 318 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: I think of one yard on three carries. Yeah, so 319 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: he was stymied in the backfield on those and did 320 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: all he could to get back to the line of scrimmage. 321 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: All right, we're just getting started, Mickey.

Absolutely will walk east to there, 370 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: all right. Jerry Jones was on the fan oddly enough 371 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: on a Tuesday morning about Oh yeah, he's on the 372 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: fan every Tuesday morning. So Bill, we got kind of 373 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: confirmation or what Mike McCarthy pointed out at his conference 374 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: call yesterday that Andy Dalton was indeed cleared to practice, 375 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: so he was. He was good to go and looks 376 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: good probably going forward. Mike liked the way he practiced. Uh. 377 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: Chitterbee Woozier was also in practice, and Mike's when asked 378 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: if do you think he'll be able to start, and 379 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: he said, well, I hope so. Uh so, Uh, that 380 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: was good news. Tyrone Crawford did not practice. He was 381 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: still in the COVID nineteen protocol. Uh, so we'll see 382 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: what happens with him. My understanding is it was a 383 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: contact deal, so it isn't like he tested positive. So 384 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: maybe in another day or two when they get back 385 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: to practice on Wednesday. Uh, he would be able to go. 386 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: So that's uh, so he would probably he would be 387 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: need three negatives before spread out over five day period 388 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: or so five or six probably the way way it works. 389 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: So and I think that came down on Wednesday, Wednesday 390 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: or last week. I think, yes, Thursday, and so we 391 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: said Thursday, right, so Thursday Fridays. You know, they've been 392 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: testing all along. And as Mike pointed out, because they 393 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: did not practice, uh in the scheduled practice on Wednesday, 394 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: they just moved that to yesterday. So they did yesterday 395 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: what they would have done that one practice during the 396 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: bye week. So uh, that was uh somewhat good news. 397 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, since we were talking about 398 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and you know where they're at two and 399 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: seven going into these last games. Um, he had a 400 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: he had an interesting comment when he was asked, why 401 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: do you think you know you are where you're at? 402 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: Why do you think the Cowboys are are two and seven? 403 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: I think Chris has a SoundBite from him I thought 404 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: was pretty good from Jerry Jones. So when I looked 405 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: back and why we won two football games and a 406 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: close owner of certainly one of them, I think we've 407 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: got it down. I don't think we were short on 408 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: how we approached and how we got on the field 409 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: defensively and offensively. We uh not because of what we 410 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: were trying to do so much offensively, We just those 411 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: early mistakes, those turnovers, was fumbled, those things like that 412 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: that even when we had back, even when we were 413 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: really we were absent at all times for the most part, 414 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: having our tackles, but still we were moving the ball 415 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: and looked pretty good to move the ball, but we 416 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: turned that ball over. And you know, the other thing 417 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: that he went on to point out, he talked about 418 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: one of the things they tried to do in the 419 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: offseason was shore up that defensive front, shore it up 420 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: with guys in the middle, and he kind of pointed 421 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: out that it was unfortunate that they had made these 422 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: plans on how they were going to run their defense, 423 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: changing it up, and then the players that they were 424 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: going to change up with either got hurt or didn't 425 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: perform to the level they thought. And it was it 426 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: was it was like it was like a combustible thing 427 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: that these guys didn't point it didn't pan out. And 428 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: you know he's talking, uh, you know, don Terry Poe, 429 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: He's probably talking Everson Griffin and then Gerald McCoy gets hurt, 430 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: so they never got a chance to see that. And 431 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: now you're in this transition from how you were playing 432 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: defensive technique to what you want them to do now, 433 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: and and it just didn't work. And it was good 434 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: to hear him kind of point that out that you know, 435 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: of all years to try to change up what you 436 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: were doing defensively, this wasn't the year because he compared 437 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: it to the offense, right, They kind of kept the 438 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: offense the same with dak In there, Kellen Moore, Colin plays. 439 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: They didn't make radical changes, but defensively they were and 440 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: they just didn't adapt very very well. Now we'll we'll 441 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: see if these last two games that they played are 442 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: any indication of improvement they've made. But and this will 443 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: be a pretty good test with the running game that 444 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: Minnesota has, and they can throw the ball a little 445 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: bit with Kirk Cousins. You know, that was only the 446 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: second time all year that the Vikings scored less than 447 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: twenty three points in a game. They were averaging twenty 448 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: six points a game at this point, so they've been 449 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: putting points up. That nineteen to thirteen game wasn't indicative 450 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: of what they've been doing offensively. That's very true. That's 451 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: very true, spacts, because as you look at the game 452 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: last night, you know you can only run the ball 453 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: thirty times and not gain a hundred yards from your 454 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: start running back and still win unless your defense came 455 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: to play, and they came to play, because let's just 456 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: be real, it's all about causing effect. Chicago's offense just 457 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: isn't that good. They haven't been that good all year long. 458 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: So it's a perfect storm for them. And to the 459 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: fact that they were able to win their third game 460 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: because they took advantage of the circumstances around them. And 461 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: that's what the Cowboys have to do. You have to 462 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: realize where your opportunities are going to come from. You 463 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: have to realize what's coming your way. We know that 464 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: this running game, they might run it even more than 465 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: thirty times this time around because they're gonna be stubborn 466 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: in their game plan because they know it's successful. So 467 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be stubborn in your game plan, you 468 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: gotta stay the course and you can't make mistakes to 469 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: put that game plan in jeopardy. Minnestolia was able to 470 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: do that last night because they didn't put their game 471 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: plan in jeopardy. Their defense allowed them to stay the 472 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: course with that running game. They're not going to try 473 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: and win a game with Kirk Cousins unless the Cowboys 474 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 1: secondary comes in here and just falls flat on their 475 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: faces and allows them to otherwise. I want to see 476 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: that continued trend in regards to how well our defense 477 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: is playing. You know, the other thing that they do 478 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: on offense, and it just jumps off the charts at 479 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 1: you when you look at their stats, is their yards 480 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: per attempt. In the passing game. Kirk Cousins is averaging 481 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: eight point eight yards per attempt and that's number one 482 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: in the league. As a team, they're number one in 483 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: the league and yards per attempt. And then you look 484 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: at the guy that you mentioned Mickey earlier, the rookie 485 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: out of LSU, Justin Jefferson, is averaging eighteen yards or reception. 486 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: And so they've got they run, run, run, and then 487 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: they've got the big playability and uh so, uh so 488 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: the secondary is going to be tested. Yeah, And the 489 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: key thing last night for the Bears was they stopped 490 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: the run without having to by still playing their two 491 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: safeties deep. They didn't bring up another safety to help 492 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: out against the run. So that's something. Yeah, we'll see 493 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys are capable of doing that. Because if 494 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: you noticed, Minnesota uses a fullback, right, So do you 495 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: do you go, jam, you go and play some base defense? 496 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: Is you know, Sean Lee ready to be the third 497 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: linebacker and you play a four to three, a true 498 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: four three instead of trying to stop everybody that either 499 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: playing two tight ends or they play a fullback, and 500 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: you're still in your nickel defense with some skinny dB 501 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: up there close to the line of scrimmage. Nothing against 502 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: skinny dB, that's okay, man, I love skinny dbs. Man 503 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't love him. I don't love him 504 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: for taking on fullbacks. But yeah, I mean, well, so 505 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a lot like the Cleveland game 506 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: in regards to the chess match that's gonna be played exactly, 507 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, because as far as personnel is concerned, we're 508 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to be able to stop them with three 509 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: linebackers in the game. Can we do that? Have we 510 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: shown to be able to do that? Uh? That's where 511 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins has the advantage. He takes advantage of personnel. 512 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna force you to play the run. And then, 513 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: as Bill said, we're coming with the play action and 514 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna go deep for it because you don't have 515 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: your nickel out there. But we've got these nifty wide 516 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: receivers out there. And boy, don't let me get on this. Uh. 517 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: I think his name, first name is Kyle. Is it 518 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph? Yes? Is he playing? Is he gonna play 519 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: this week? He played last night one of them. Yeah, Well, hey, 520 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: I'm hoping something happened because this guy, he is one 521 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: of the more athletic tight ends I've ever seen. He 522 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: makes a habit of making one handed touchdowns and not 523 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: to mention the fact that he can block as well. 524 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: So as we started talking about Jefferson the one that's 525 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: gonna keep those chains moving, it's gonna be Kyle Rudolph 526 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: in the in the passing game, in the passing and 527 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: Rudolph And I'm looking at snap counts Rudolf and four 528 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: catches last night for sixty three yards. So, uh, they 529 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: certainly rely on him. And that's another part of the 530 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense that's had problem is covering tight ends. By 531 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: the way, guys that pass catchers, they can get down 532 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: the field. And he didn't do anything fancy. A lot 533 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: of the stuff I saw him doing, I thought it 534 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: was it was it was the you know Jason Witten 535 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: look alike, right, go down five ten yards, turn around 536 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: in open space and catch the ball and the chains move, 537 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: so they gotta be careful. You gotta watch him. You 538 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: have to watch him in the red zone. That's why 539 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: he's dangerous. So we get down last year, Yes, we 540 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: saw it last year and like I said, more than 541 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: once this guy caught the one hand to touchdown. He 542 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: seems to make a habit of it. So obviously very 543 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: skilled player. And let's just be reals facts. When it 544 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: comes to good tight ends. I haven't seen one good 545 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: tight end be stopped in any NFL game this year, 546 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: not the good tight ends, and that's something that we 547 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: have to be aware of. Good tight ends are a 548 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: premium when you have a good running game and you 549 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: look at I'm looking at their snap counts from last night, 550 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: and Maky you mentioned the fullback CJ. Hamm had thirty 551 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: five snaps in last night's game against Chicago, and the 552 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: two tight ends then seventy three snaps overall, so he 553 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: was in on half the snaps on offense, which is 554 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: very rare in the NFL. I mean, even teams that 555 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: employee fullbacks usually really they're only getting eight to ten 556 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: snaps a game. The fullback is yeah, you're usually special 557 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: teams guys converted defensive ends or linebackers who they've turned 558 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: into fullbacks, or a three hundred pound fullback who converted 559 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: defensive tackle that's playing fullbacks. This guy is more than that. 560 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: And U and so the seventy three snaps the two 561 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: tight ends. Rudolph had fifty seven and Herb Smith or 562 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: rather Tyler Conklin had forty six snaps last time. Yeah yeah, 563 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: so old school zoo, old school coming to town, the 564 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: old schools. You gotta be ready, you better be may 565 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: Lock Clark used to say you better buckley your stuff up, 566 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: and he didn't say stuff. You better buckle your stuff 567 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: up and get ready to play. This is gonna be 568 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a big week for Sean Lee 569 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: because with the two tight ends with the fullback, and 570 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys will being base personnel more than they have been 571 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: all season, maybe in their skiing well, right, we continue 572 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: more from Jerry go ahead, Mick, no go. I was 573 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna say you better hope so and not put out 574 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: a defensive end trying to play a strong side linebacker. 575 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: Let's not do that again. Let's not do that again. Please? 576 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: All right? We continue with more mix shots and more 577 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 1: from Jerry Jones.

I know, 623 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: it's nine games. Some of the players that he's been 624 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: really happy with, and he started right on the defensive front. 625 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: He talked about Dorince Armstrong, Alden Smith, DeMarcus Lawrence. Felt 626 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: like those guys have played pretty well up front. And 627 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: then he mentioned the draft choices and he mentioned four 628 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: of the first five draft choices, Lambs, Digs, Gallimore, Badish. 629 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: Those guys, he said, have really stood out to him, 630 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 1: and he said he they were doing what he thought 631 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: they could do when they drafted him. So he was 632 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: pretty happy with the draft class. The other thing going 633 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: on around here, we've been kind of given it lift 634 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: service talking about how the Cowboys had gone into intensive 635 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: intensified COVID nineteen protocol and just what that means. Well, 636 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: we've finally found out a few things. One of the 637 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: things that it means is, uh, you know, they've been 638 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: having their team meetings in the Ford Center. Uh. They've 639 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: got big screens that are set up on the edge 640 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 1: of the field and the players kind of disperse in 641 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: the stands and spread out. Well, now they're spreading out 642 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 1: even further for the team meetings, and also when they 643 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: have the individual position meetings, they've been doing those in 644 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: the Ford Center instead of crammed up in the little 645 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: meeting rooms at the Star that they have for the 646 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: individual positions. Uh, those meetings take place in the corridors 647 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: up up in the Ford Center, and they've spaced those 648 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: out even more. So they're very fortunate they've had the 649 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: facility uh to kind of space out. Jerry talked about 650 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: how they've uh limited now even further uh staff uh, 651 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: coaching personnel that are around the players. Uh. They didn't 652 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: want a bunch of other people around the players as much. 653 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: And the one thing, UH that we have found out 654 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: now is they've created a bubble at the OMNI UH 655 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 1: for the coaching staff and any other staff that are 656 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 1: around the players. Uh. They're staying now at the OMNI. 657 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: They're not going home. Jerry mentioned how they had to 658 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,760 Speaker 1: be careful with contact tracing when the players go home. Well, 659 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: the other thing was staff going home too, So they've 660 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: eliminated that now and they're uh, they're they're in the 661 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: bubble at the OMNI next door. And I thought it 662 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: was very interesting what he had to say when he 663 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: was talking about UH strict protocol and talking and he 664 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: was asked about what about himself? What are the things 665 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,919 Speaker 1: that he does to keep himself safe? And I thought 666 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: this was very interesting what Jerry had to say this 667 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: morning on the fan. No, I've changed completely, I really have. 668 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: And I was early. I've been all over the map, 669 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: but boy, I'm double masks. I'm literally thinking that everybody 670 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: I'm around has COVID and I'm thinking I don't want 671 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: to get it, so I'm distance. I'm masks. I don't 672 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: go to anything, but everybody had to test it and UH, 673 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 1: and I'm the main thing is through all of the 674 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: other other things, so IG all of that, but I 675 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,399 Speaker 1: and why is because I really do feel that we're 676 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: right around the corner. As you know, I'm in an 677 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,439 Speaker 1: age bracket that is one of the would be one 678 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: of the vulnerable, and so it would be ashamed. I'm 679 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: just entering it for me on a personal basis here, 680 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: it would be a shame to go as far as 681 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: we've got in vaccine sitting right here on almost on 682 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: the shelf, and I'll be the first in line to 683 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: have a vaccine. I wonder if we can get in 684 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: enlightened right behind them. Yeah, I want to be right 685 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: there with her. But I thought he had, you know, 686 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,879 Speaker 1: with the CDC. Yeah, it was a good perspective. I'm 687 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: gonna say. With the CDC protocols increasing, they're being more careful. 688 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes six feet is not enough that talking ten feet, 689 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: especially you're talking indoors. So it's good to see that 690 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: they're adapting to the new protocols. I mean, you know, 691 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: it's good that they have all the tests available there, 692 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: which is amazing. That's the luxury that you have with 693 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: an organization like this. But man, just to even get it, 694 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: he's a scary thing. I've been looking at some of 695 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: the shows that really try and explain to you just 696 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: how horrible this disease is or this virus is. And boy, 697 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm like Jerry at his age, he has to be 698 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: extremely careful. That would be a big blow of course 699 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 1: to his family, no doubt about it, but even to 700 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: Cowboy Nation it would be something that that you know, 701 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,879 Speaker 1: we just really don't want to go through right now. 702 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: So I'm glad he understands his responsibility in this thing 703 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: because of his just his status as an owner of 704 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, plus how active he is. I mean, 705 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: he's got so many, so much going on, and he's 706 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: around so many people that and I think that's a 707 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: great attitude to have for all of us. Is we've 708 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 1: got you have to basically look at it that that 709 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: person that is six feet away from you has COVID 710 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 1: and you're staying away. I mean, and that's the day. 711 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 1: I think that's the dangerous thing about the masks. I'm saying, 712 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: the masker great, they're fine, you know everything. Sometimes though, 713 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: it gives people a false sense of security and they 714 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 1: don't do the social distancing because they have the mask on. 715 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: No it's mask plus the social distancing. You have to 716 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,320 Speaker 1: keep people more than arms length two arms lengths away 717 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: from you, you know. And I thought his perspective, and 718 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 1: I had never thought I had even thought about it 719 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: this way when he mentioned the vaccine, and you're getting 720 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 1: so close to, you know, maybe be able to get it, 721 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: to not do anything to like, oh, I was that 722 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: close to getting a vaccine, And I took some chances 723 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,919 Speaker 1: and let my guard gown, right, So I was good 724 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: to get good to hear from him. But just understand 725 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: that this team is doing all that you know, and 726 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: you can't. You're never one hundred percent safe, right, You 727 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen. All you can do 728 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,720 Speaker 1: is be as careful as you can, uh, don't take chances, 729 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 1: don't let your guard down. And it sounded like Jerry 730 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: was absolutely doing that. And I told you guys the story. 731 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: It was about a month or so ago when we 732 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: ran into each other. He was going up on the elevator, 733 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: and boy, he had his mask on. I can vouch 734 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 1: for that. I'm sure he's been talking to missus Jones. 735 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: She's been wagging her finger at him, like you'd better 736 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: be careful, young man, yeah, absolutely, all right, So mickey, 737 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: final minute here, team back on the practice field tomorrow, 738 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: we get resuming a regular work week. Yes, finally, And 739 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: as you know, Mike McCarthy's not going to give away 740 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: any secrets, So who the starting quarterback is going to be, 741 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: who the backup is going to be, as you would expect, 742 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: he said, well, we'll be working through that as we 743 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 1: go through practice this week. So he wasn't. He wasn't 744 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,280 Speaker 1: saying that, you know, And you know, Bill, you pointed 745 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 1: it out about Andy Dalton hadn't done anything and two 746 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: and a half weeks, right, so it's almost like, okay, 747 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: let's see what he's got and then you know, you 748 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 1: liked what three and a half now? Yeah, three and 749 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: a half now, and and you like what Gilbert did, 750 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,280 Speaker 1: but let's see what going forward, what it all looks 751 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: like with uh, with Cooper Rush also, so uh, yeah, 752 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't. He wasn't given that away, just like after 753 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 1: the reports. Don't forget oh yeah, Ben to Nucci, Yeah, 754 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: please sorry, because he technically is the third quarterback on 755 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster, right because Cooper Rush. No, 756 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 1: we don't, we never forget, that's right. And as I 757 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: was going to say, and think about think about New 758 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: Orleans now. You know, it's almost like, you know, they 759 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 1: were ready to retire Drew Brees with all the injuries 760 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: he has. And when someone asked, uh, Sean Payton about it, 761 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: it was like, yeah, I'll let you know by the 762 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: end of the week.
