Well, the National weather 26 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: the National Weather Service is it here coming from the south. 27 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: It's dropping precipitously because on my phone the temperature is 28 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: sixty five. Diggers there, God, he is going down. Guys, 29 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: here we go. All right, we're just getting ready for 30 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: the metal Lands weather NFC East weather football and the 31 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: Cowboys were outside today. Yes, they were in shells in shadows, 32 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: full practice. They only have two padded practices left, meaning 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: available for the last one this week. They're not using 34 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: one this week. So wait, they have only so many 35 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: They have a year a season. So this you mean 36 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: like padded padded, so shoulder pads this week? No, they 37 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: have two this week. No, No, no two through the 38 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: rest of the sea because left. So they got one 39 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: next week and then one the week after that per week. No, No, 40 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: in total. I just can't get my mind wrapped around 41 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: this man. Why what happened? Well, they used one a 42 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: week because you can only have one a week. Wow, 43 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: for seventeen weeks. Eighteen weeks. I don't know if they 44 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: gave him another, but no, no, no, it was like 45 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: thirteen or fourteen ticket for the season, thirteen or fourteen. 46 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: That's it. You know what you saw like you saw 47 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: like Flozell Adams. And I saw him a couple of 48 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I said, you know, they could use 49 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: a backup tackle. He goes, no, No, I'm done. I said, 50 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: but you know you might not have to play and 51 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: you only have to practice. He goes, yeah, I gotta 52 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: practice and put on pads. I go, no, only once 53 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: a week. And he looked at me like what I said, Yeah, 54 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: one padded practice a week, not even that, and not 55 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: even that for every week, right, And he's going, m 56 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: maybe I'll take you up on that. Maybe I'll take 57 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: him up. Give me a break. I can just sit 58 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: back then in dime and just play middle middle fields. 59 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: In the field. You don't need your pads. There's no tackle, 60 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: there's no tackle. I don't have to actually tackle him, 61 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: all right, So to let you know what happened in practice, uh, 62 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: obviously no, Tyrn Smith, no Cedric Wilson and Sean McEwan 63 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: is out there, so it looks like he, probably with 64 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: that neck injury, is ready to go. Tony Pollard came 65 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: out with Zeke. When the guys were doing stretch. Zeke 66 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: got on the stationary bike. Pollard worked out with Britt 67 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: Brown on the cords, but when they went into some 68 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: of the skeleton drills and individual drills, he had his 69 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: helmet on, his shells on, and he was taking turns 70 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: with Zeke. Okay, so I think at least limited today, 71 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: and I think that might bode well if he comes 72 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: out of it. Okay, Donovan Wilson was back, looked like 73 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: back in practice. Now. I don't know if he would 74 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: be just limited, but at least he was out there 75 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: taking parts in the practice. And Zeke was doing individual 76 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: drills and skeleton drills and didn't seem to be having 77 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: any problems. So that's kind of your injury update because 78 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: from yesterday, and they didn't practice yesterday, right because they 79 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: were tired, indoors, tired, resting their legs. I can't work 80 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 1: too hard. Yeah, so that's why they had a lesser 81 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: practice today because they didn't practice yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 82 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: absolutely and the Giants one, two, three, four. Five guys 83 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: didn't practice yesterday and there's was basically a walkthrough also, 84 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: so five guys couldn't even do the walkthrough. Uh, and 85 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: then they had three other guys limited and now they've 86 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: got six guys COVID COVIDNA say what's the COVID count 87 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: on both squads? So wow, boys won Cedric Wilson, Cedric 88 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: Wilson and looks like six or so at this point, 89 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: although some guys could get back in time. Uh. There, 90 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: I believe he's the safety. See if I can say this, 91 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: Ocehan zeminous? Uh is close contact? How did I do? 92 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: Did good? Good? Good? You don't even know what it's 93 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: supposed to be. He's looking Yeah, he's looking out right. 94 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: He's not a safety. Oh okay, linebacker. I wrote it 95 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: down phonetically, so I got it, you know. Uh? Is 96 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: it just the holidays? Is that why? I don't know 97 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: what's happen? They've had a hundred so far this Yeah, 98 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: and then jump in the league. So on Monday seven, 99 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: now that was one day, three days, seventy three days 100 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: in a row. It got up to almost one hundred 101 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: span about thirty five a day, Yes, seventy five hundred. Yeah, 102 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: that's the way it was. Yes, So the Giants are 103 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: without Cadarius Tony and John Ross, two of their better 104 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: wide receivers, linebacker Cam Brown. Uh and then Aaron Robinson 105 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: was out and there are one, two, three, four, Dorry 106 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: Jackson seven or Dorry Jackson they got seven teams right 107 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: now are in advanced COVID protocol, meaning they're virtual meetings 108 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: masked up. Can't be in the facility other than the practice. 109 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, yeah, a Dory a Dory Jackson is 110 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: out with a quiet in one of those cots right exactly. 111 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: And then we've seen this coming, but we've seen this before. 112 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: So is the NFL are they They're getting close? Yes, 113 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: they're getting close to coming down with more stringent protocols. 114 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the NFL observer was here today. 115 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure he was in town for the NFL meetings 116 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: and he but he comes in like once a month 117 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: to observe not only practice, like who's out there, who's 118 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: around the practice, how many people that aren't players out there? 119 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: And walks through the facility over there to see the 120 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: cameras are up and how they're conducting themselves elves. But yeah, 121 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: and you know they've come out and basically telling the staff, 122 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: Tier one, Tier two staff, you got to get your 123 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: booster by December twenty seventh. And Mike mentioned yesterday that 124 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: head athletic trainer Jim Mauer talked to the team before 125 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday explaining the importance of the booster. Can't 126 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: can't mandate it, but can tell how important it is 127 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: and so social distancing. I mean, you know it's the holidays, 128 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, Thanksgiving and that Christmas is coming up. Just 129 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: gotta be even more careful. I've got a question about 130 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: the booster. At what point after you get the booster 131 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: shot does it take effect? Because when you when you 132 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: got your original, it was two weeks after your second shot, 133 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: right right, So when you and it was four weeks 134 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: in betweens, it was like a six week process. So 135 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: I think I saw something about ten days. All right. 136 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: So if the if you've got the deadline of December 137 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: twenty seventh, the season, the regular season ends on January ninth, 138 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: and so if someone aren't there two games in January, yeah, 139 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: January second, in January ninth, Okay, all right, So if 140 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: the deadline is December twenty seventh for the teams that 141 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs that the booster doesn't take a 142 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: if you if you wait until they're not worth if 143 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: you wait until December twenty seventh. You know, if that's 144 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: the date, then it doesn't take affect nine days after. 145 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: It's not the players, it's the staff. December twenty seventh 146 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: on the booster. Okay, but I'm talking about the staff. 147 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean, well, so if you're if you're gonna set 148 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: a date, if you got to get the booster, go 149 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: it to have it effect on the season. Do it earlier, 150 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: and you know why. I mean, if you're gonna you 151 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: could It doesn't take long, right, you can go to 152 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: CVS and get a boost. Just got one to go 153 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: to walgraun last night and he got up this morning. 154 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: Anyway he might have got it because what the the uh? 155 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: And he went to CBS. Yeah, yeah, was it seals 156 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: doctor Sells, the NFL guy medical director. He was basically saying, 157 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: if you have just the regular vaccination, at some point 158 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: it starts wearing down. It doesn't wear off, but it 159 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: wears down. And so yeah, you can go and get 160 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: the booster and you'd be good to go, at least 161 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more confident. Let's put it there, right, 162 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much confidence exactly, all right, So 163 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: that's your medical update, no doctors. As it pertains to 164 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: Sunday's game. There is one guy who is on the 165 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: Giants close contact list who is out of practice right now, 166 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: and that's the safety Xavier McKinney. He has not tested positive, 167 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: but he because there I believe there's a safety or 168 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: two in there. He's a close contact and so um 169 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: Joe Judge expressed today that as long as McKinney doesn't 170 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: test positive this week, he's confident he'll be able to 171 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: play on Sunday, right and right now he's out the 172 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: close contact and so and that's that's a significant player 173 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: for the Giants. I mean, when you look at the Giants, 174 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: they're two wins in the last five weeks over Philadelphia 175 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: and Las Vegas. They were plus four. They had four 176 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: takeaways against Philadelphia and they had three takeaways against Vegas. 177 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: And he had three interceptions in those two wins. Xavier McKinney, 178 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: the safety out of Alabama, is a really good player. 179 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: So they had basically five starters that weren't practicing yesterday. 180 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens today. Sequon Barkley, Daniel Jones, Austin 181 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: Johnson defensive lineman, and Doory Jackson and Graham Gano their 182 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: kicker was out too. The other guy that it's not 183 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: COVID but on their defensive line, Leonard Williams. Williams, Yes, um, 184 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: and they're they're, they're, they're um and they and I 185 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: guess Dexter Lawrence, right, he's a guy that they're trying 186 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: to figure out because they had three first round picks 187 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: and two of them have already flamed out, so they're 188 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: hoping we may flamed out like they weren't worth the crap. Uh. Yeah, 189 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: I wrote that because if that's if they aren't what 190 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: the crap, then that's bad uh scouting. I mean, you 191 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Well, it was three three first 192 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: round picks from twenty nineteen. Okay, so the jury is 193 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: still out on Daniel Jones, right. The first one DeAndre Baker. Um, 194 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm not even I don't even know if he's on 195 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: the team. Uh. I had some off the field this year, right, 196 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: and they got rid of him already. So that's the 197 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: first Dexter Lawrence, and there's a question mark on how 198 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: good he is. Yea bel Man. You spent the first 199 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: round pick and traded people away to get those picks. Guys, 200 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: I think it was the Odell Beckham junior and you 201 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: fire Jason Garrett. Yeah he was he was the problem. 202 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: What do you think about Jason going to Jacksonville? They 203 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: gotta do something culture, that's what it sounds like. It 204 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: sounds there. I mean there, you got to fix the 205 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: culture there. Yeah, and yeah, he would be good for that. 206 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: He would be good for them, just get him. But 207 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: you gotta have patience with your coach in Jacksonville. You 208 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: know that they think it's gonna happen overnight. And and 209 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: you know, you fire your coach thirteen games in. You 210 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: knew after the fourth game that he was not the guy. 211 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: They were just hoping he wouldn't screw up again before 212 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: the season was over, and he couldn't even do that. 213 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: So I know, I if Jason went down there, I 214 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: think it'd be good for the organization, But the organization 215 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: would have to be patient, right and and think about 216 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: this to all the stuff that's took place, uh with 217 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: Meyer Urban Meyer. If they were eleven and two, he's 218 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: still he's still the coach, right even if he kicked 219 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: the kicker and called him a dip ass. He did so. 220 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: But here's my thing. When I look at the team, 221 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: I don't see improvement. You know, you got a quarterback there, 222 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: you got sunshine, and uh he hadn't gotten anything better, right, 223 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: so you know you hadn't gotten anything better. So you 224 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: need somebody that's a good quarterback. I'm talking about it 225 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, absolutely, Byron Leftwich. Byron Leftwich as a 226 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: head coach. I don't even know who coordinator? Yes, yes, yeah, 227 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: he beat the Cowboys pretty bad. No, that's a no 228 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: brainer right there. To me, he really is. So let 229 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay season play out. He's offensive coordinator there, 230 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: and I think he would be a prime candidate in Jacks. Remember, 231 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: everybody loves him, you know remember that. Yeah, Marshall wasn't 232 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: when they were Lima carried the him to the line 233 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: of scrimmage on like a last two minute drive. I've 234 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: never seen that before. They picked him up and carried 235 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: him from play to play and he got out there. 236 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: I believe they won that game. Did you help Dion 237 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: recruit that cornerback? Did not? But I'm proud of him. 238 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm proud of him. Yeah when you bring that up, Yeah, 239 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: Dion has never been a guy that I was patting 240 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: myself after. But when you look at what he's done 241 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: as a family man. He went through a couple of 242 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: you know, went through a divorce of course, but his 243 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: kids seemed to be very well balanced. He brought his 244 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: kid with him. He's a quarterback for Jackson State, and 245 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, let's just be real, he produces everywhere it goes, 246 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: and at Jackson State, not just the swat needed it, 247 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: but the all HBCUs. We need this influx of these 248 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: professional players coming back and coaching. You good with Hugh Johnson, 249 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: Hugh jack jack Sorry, I am good with Hugh Jackson 250 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: because to me, he's a guy a lot like Jason Garrett. 251 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: You know, winning is important, but he's always been about 252 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: the players. He's always been about the players. And he's 253 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: gotten screwed a few times because he tipped that stance. 254 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: So I hope he's he continued. I hope he stayed 255 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: in that manner. And you know, it's a way to 256 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: make a difference when you go to an HBCU, because 257 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: you're talking about legacy you're not just talking about winning, 258 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: you're talking about legacy. Well, I've always talked about you 259 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: graduate first, you carry yourself as a grammar night before 260 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: you play as one. And so football was always there. 261 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: Of course, it's it's it's sports. Like like what I've said, 262 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: You're not gonna catch eighty thousand people coming to watch 263 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: the geometry class, you know. So it's about football, yes, 264 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: But when it's all said and done, we also realize 265 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: once these young men finished, they're just another black man 266 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: trying to go into society. So we want to make 267 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: sure you're ready for it. And I think Hugh Jackson's 268 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: the guy that can continue that that little culture. So unfortunately, 269 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: Dak's probably doing this media session right now, right now. 270 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: He comes back last, and so when I came in, 271 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: he was thinking and say, hey, what are you doing? 272 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: He's at you. You can see him. How about this 273 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: from from Zach Zack Martin. They asked him about Neville 274 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: Gallimore and he said, uh, he's a dense human being. 275 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: Yeah he didn't body type, Yes, that's a dense human being. 276 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: They compliment, right, he did. He did clarify that. Yeah, 277 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: I think everybody knew what he was talking now, it's 278 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: that's amazing, the way he's playing. I hadn't seen the play, Like, 279 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: when's the last time you've seen the play like that 280 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: in the pros? In the pros, I mean we've seen 281 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: the LT we've seen you know, of course Boston this year. 282 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,719 Speaker 1: But you heard two people in one play, that's right, 283 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: he did I ever seen that? And they didn't return? 284 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: He did not. I mean they were laid out. You 285 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: get two people laid out. Mandy Gregy's over there just 286 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: dying either, No, I don't think so. And and and 287 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: speaking of Gregory, so he wanted to tell ask him 288 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: about the team's identity now is defense? And he was like, 289 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, we want to go there. He said, 290 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: let's put it this way. I'm very proud of where 291 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: the defense is right now. And it's like, okay, good answer. 292 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: And then he went on to talk about how much 293 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: confidence he had in the offense and that they still 294 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: have room to improve. Uh, and just think about all 295 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: those guys playing together. You know, they hadn't been together 296 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: that lay had they got four games to basically get 297 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: ready for. Oh, we're not supposed to just mention playoffs either. 298 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: Here Mike morning after ten wins after ten wins something, yeah, yeah, yeah, 299 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: good Brad, Brad. I knew where Brad was going, like 300 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: he was going to ask him if you don't you 301 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: talk to the players about playoffs or the you know, 302 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: the contingencies out there, and he stopped him the middle 303 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: of the sentence as soon as he said playoffs, and 304 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: he goes, yes, we're not gonna talk about that until 305 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: we have our tenth win. That's right, because that guarantees 306 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Don't use that word, he said, his point 307 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: it worked last week. Oh he didn't use that word 308 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: last week either, but we always always reported that either. 309 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: This point was if you if you win ten games 310 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL, you have a chance, a good chance, 311 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: you're gonna end up in the playoffs. Not necessarily, especially 312 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: with especially with seven teams and now seventeen games, he said, 313 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I have to go till eleven. 314 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but you get an extra team in the playoffs. 315 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: Two seven teams in the playoffs.

I did, 380 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: And of course I had to bring up the San 381 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: Francisco game just to let them know how there's life 382 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: after in the perspective. And as I was bringing that up, 383 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: one guy in the stand goes, that was you. That 384 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: was you. Yeah, dude, that's what I'm telling the story. 385 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: So their head coach Sample sangin old Samples he U. 386 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: It was like maybe a week or two after. I 387 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: don't know why he was here at the Star, but 388 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: it was around the time before Jason's press conference. I'd 389 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: have been a Coach of the Year deal it might 390 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: have been. And they had they were they were hit 391 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: and he came walking in and I saw him, and uh, 392 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: I just went up to him and I said, Man, 393 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. I said, but uh, 394 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: you did a phenomenal job to actually do an interview 395 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: after that game after that, because he carried himself awfully well. 396 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: And I was like, if it was me, I don't 397 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: think I could look. He didn't look at it as 398 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: any other loss, but it was you know, he used 399 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: the same jargon, right, you know, but you know, down deep, 400 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: it was hard to say. And so just to bring 401 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 1: the perspective on this, UH, Reginald Samples, he's been at 402 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: Duncanville for several years now and this will be his 403 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: third state title game, UH, in the last four years 404 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: at Skyline, and he actually was before that, but he 405 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: was at Skyline prior to Duncanville, and prior to that 406 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: he was at Lincoln and South o'cliffe is playing in 407 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: the state championship game. The last time a d I 408 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: s D School won a UIL state championship was nineteen 409 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: fifty Sunset High School or the last time they were 410 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: able to keep a state championship Dallas Carter in nineteen 411 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,239 Speaker 1: eighty eight. That just gets everybody goes past that, right, right, 412 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: Carter being converse Judson, When you have those great player 413 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: might have been one of the best high school teams 414 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: in the same they got to take it away because 415 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: of the things off the field they didn't know to 416 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: do with how good they were on the front and 417 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: U and Jesse Armstead was on that team, that Carter 418 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: team in nineteen eighty eight. The DISD school made it 419 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: to the state championship game in two thousand and four 420 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: and Reginald Samples was the head coach of the Lincoln 421 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: team was led by Byron Eton, who was a quarterback. 422 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: Eton was a great basketball player at Oklahoma State. They 423 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: lost it on an double overtime against Kilgore on a 424 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: blocked field goal attempt that was returned for a touchdown. Okay, 425 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: let's let let's put things uh. Also, let's let's talk 426 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: about another one. If I were not mistaken High Park Field, 427 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: was that Sample's team with the controversial on sidekick? You 428 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: remember it was no No, it was yeah skyline against 429 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: South Lake Carol. Yeah, and controversial on side kick. Yeah. 430 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: I can't. I was there and I can't. I was 431 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 1: there too. I remember how that it was a uh 432 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: when past ten yards it didn't go ten yards and 433 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: didn't something like that? Yeah like that. Yeah, that was 434 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 1: very controversial as well. So that was. But Samples has 435 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: had these all these close calls and has not won 436 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: a state championship and he is considered the godfather of 437 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: coaches in the area. And Jason Todd, who is the 438 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: head coach at South oak Cliffe, was on Sample's staff 439 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: for ten years at Lincoln and then at Skyline and 440 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: got the South Old Cliff job in South oak Cliffe 441 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: now is playing in the state championship game. You guys 442 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: are selling tickets to Saturday well, and then well, here's 443 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: the other thing, is um the Saturday night game, Austin 444 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: Westlake is playing Denton Guyer. Austin Westlake might have the 445 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: best high school football team I've ever seen. And Todd 446 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: Dodge is the head coach there and it's going to 447 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: be his last game. He's retiring at the end of 448 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: the season. And uh, and so not to move on 449 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: to No, he's retiring from coaching and so Westlake. I 450 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: mean they've been weekend. Yeah, old enough to retire, he's not. 451 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: I was thinking he must be moving on. I didn't 452 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: think he was that old. He's really not. He had 453 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: helped issue a year or two ago, and so he's 454 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: decided that this is it for now anyway, because he 455 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: can't be like early sixties, right, he's probably maybe late 456 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: fifties or sixty. He was nineteen eighty one out of 457 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: Port Arthur so or whatever. That would be still forty 458 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: years ago. He's probably fifty eight or so. Yeah, so nice. Anyway, 459 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: all right, they get you up to speed on everything 460 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: that's going on out there. I like that before WrestleMania, says, um, 461 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: all right, how what concerns you about the Giants this week? 462 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: What concerns me is the Cowboys? Yeah? Yeah, I mean 463 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to go into another Denver game. It's 464 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: too late for that to have that kind of setback. 465 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to see us as a team, and 466 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: that could go for any of these uh instwing games. 467 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to see us go back to old habits. 468 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: We've got a little issue at the quarterback position, with 469 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: the passing game una offensive line. But you know, this 470 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: is the moment to where we understand what our problems are. 471 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: Let's just move forward with him and every NFL team 472 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: does it. Let's not keep acting like we're so delicate 473 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: and put together so shakily to where we can't survive, 474 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, just a little bit of adversity. So you know, 475 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: let's just go forward. And what helps you with that 476 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: is having a good defense. Okay, I guess my question is, uh, 477 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: from a coaching perspective, what is a more nerve wracking 478 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: game for a coach when you're playing when you're going 479 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: up against the Giants this week. Yeah, or let's say 480 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: Arizona two weeks after that. Yeah, this game game four nine, 481 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: uh and and and Mike talked about what he was 482 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: concerned most about with the Giants defense with the Cowboys 483 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: trying to get their offense going. He said, they're, uh, 484 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: they've they've played every defensive front that's available in football, 485 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: so they're they're multiple, right, they don't do the same 486 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: three man two four linebackers four or three. They play 487 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: a lot of different fronts. They probably moved the front 488 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: to try to confuse the offensive line. Uh. That was 489 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: his concern for him, to get the offense ready to 490 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: face their multiple all yeah, yeah, yeah, so uh, because 491 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, with the injuries they have, the COVID they 492 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: have that they haven't been very good offensively so far 493 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: this year. Um, you just got to take care of yourself, 494 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: I think from from that standpoint, and don't go out 495 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: there and flop around, turn the ball over, give them 496 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: easy touchdowns, things like that, and you would be able 497 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: to take care of yourself. I think that's why, you know, 498 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: we would just trying to say nothing worried me. It 499 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: worries us about the Giants. It's the Cowboys, you know. 500 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: So the last game that we do, they're last games. Uh, 501 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: and they they've they've won a couple of them. But 502 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: they scored twenty five points uh to beat Carolina twenty 503 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: five to three. And then they've scored seventeen twenty three 504 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: and a win over the Raiders. Uh. Ten against Philadelphia 505 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: thirteen and a win oh no, that was over ten 506 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: was Tampa Bay and then nine and twenty one in 507 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: the loss of the Chargers. Why did do the NFC 508 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: East teams have the problems with the Raiders? Have they 509 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: beaten anybody else other than the NFC East? What's the 510 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,239 Speaker 1: deal for the Giants beat the Raiders? Yeah, so I'm saying, why, well, 511 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, if the Giants can beat them, why can't 512 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: anybody else? Yeah? So, well, Washington beat the Raiders too, 513 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: they beat them, So Cowboys, the problem is the Cowboys 514 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: can't beat Uh. Here's the common denominator in their two 515 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: wins though against the rate the Giants. Their win over 516 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: the Raiders, they had three takeaways. There went over Jalen 517 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: Hurts in Philadelphia they had four takeaways, and the other 518 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: games they had zero takeaways the last two weeks against 519 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: the Chargers and the Dolphins and lost both those games. 520 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean they were they got blown out by the Chargers. 521 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: It was thirty seven to seven before they scored two 522 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: dance to make it thirty seven to twenty one. And 523 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: so Freddie Kitchen in the answer to that, Well, and 524 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: then Mike Glennon's is quarterbacking and uh, his career record 525 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback in this league is six and 526 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: twenty three. And now we saw how is that? Now? 527 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: We saw Glennon earlier this season, as we all recalled, 528 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones got knocked out of the game here, sae 529 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley got knocked out of the game here. Uh, 530 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: and Barkley was out for the next six weeks. He's 531 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: he's back now, um, and so they do have a 532 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: healthier Barkley. Now, Well, didn't Glen Glennon led him to 533 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: those late touchdowns right against the Giants because it looks like, okay, 534 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: it was forty four to twenty. It was like forty 535 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: four to seven I think at some point or forty 536 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: four to ten. Well, that's when the second he threw 537 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass to Anthony Brown. If I remember correctly. Yeah, 538 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: that's true. Did he throw one ton Cadarius Tony because 539 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: I think he had a pretty good game against the Cowboys. 540 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: Forgot he did that, guys, that's the only way they 541 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: covered him extra Yeah, you know, he's an amazing athlete. Oh, 542 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: just he's a dynamic player. Just the touchdown pass Glennon 543 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: threw against the Cowboys was to devant A Booker, the 544 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: running back right who came in for Barkley in that game, 545 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: and and Brown sealed the win with the forty five 546 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: yard interception return. Cowboys were at halftime only led that 547 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: game seventeen to ten. Right, it was seventeen to thirteen 548 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: early in the third, and that's when the Cowboys rattled 549 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: off seventeen straight points to That's that's how the Giants play. 550 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: They play you tough in the first half. Even against Tampa, 551 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: they played them tough in the first half. And then 552 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: Yeah that was boying. But you said, I think Tampa 553 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: went on to win by a couple of touchdowns. Yeah, 554 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: they won thirty to ten over him. Um, so I 555 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: mean they can hang in there. Right. We got from 556 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 1: a from a player's step perspective, how do the players 557 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: approach playing a team like the Giants who are four 558 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: and nine. You have to you have to fight trying 559 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: to be greedy. You have to be more controlled, you know. 560 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: You have to be that team that says, the wave 561 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: is coming. We're gonna do what we do. The wave 562 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: is coming. We just can't rush it, you know, just 563 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: like you you spoke, I just said it. Uh. The 564 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: teams are always close in the first half and then 565 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: it's the second half because of the discipline. In the 566 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: second half, the better team always wins. So we just 567 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: have to stay disciplined. We can't come out with the 568 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: same old Let me get the offense warmed up a 569 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: little bit. You gotta crank that thing up. Kind of 570 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: crank that offense up up a little interception. Oh man, 571 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: it's no big deal. Strip sack fother. We're gonna We're 572 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: still trying to crank that thing up. We got the 573 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: white gass. Yeah, yeah, we need to come out. We 574 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: just come out and be solid. Just come out and 575 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: be solid. You use all three fats of the game. 576 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: Nobody get lazy. So it sounds like, yeah, the same 577 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: lawn Moore I had. Yeah, well, the great Joys the 578 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: same I was the same month, but Yeah, we just 579 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: have to come out and be solid. You see it 580 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: happening the better teams, Tampa, Green Bay, they're coming out gramps. 581 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: They're coming out and executing right off the bat. They 582 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: are way past that beginning of the season, mid season, 583 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: we're still trying to get it going. No, they're polished 584 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: right now. And they come out first drive, second drive, 585 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: and they score and they keep the pressure on. That's 586 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: what I mean. You keep the pressure on, you don't 587 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: score and then let up like we did in the 588 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: Washington game. Well, it had been a while, I think 589 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: since the Cowboys had scored on the first drive of 590 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: the game, but they did it. Unfortunately it was a 591 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: field goal. Uh. This last game, and I was just 592 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: trying to see what they've done the previous games. The 593 00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: Saints it was a punt, um, a punt, a punt, 594 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: a punt, and a touchdown against the Falcons. That was 595 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: a forty three to three win. Yeah, there you go. 596 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: So it's been a while. Uh. And then the Broncos 597 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 1: it was downs, actually downs the first two positions they 598 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: gave the ball up on so they went for down, 599 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: fourth down, right, the Vikings miss field goal, The Patriots downs, 600 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: the giants the first time around interception. Oh no, so 601 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: that first drive. Uh, they've had some problems with See. 602 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: I hate watching that punt touchdown, touchdown, punt, so that 603 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: I can't Clint still the second half. Yeah, he's killing me. 604 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: I can't live like this. All right? We continue with 605 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: more mix shots in them all it.

He 655 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 1: must have covered the team for a long period. That 656 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: sounds familiar. That name does sound familiar, Patinos. So would 657 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: you describe yourself as crafty? Yeah? Definitely? That was that 658 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: was it be a dummy out there, especially when you're 659 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: ruining the fourth seven. You can't run fast. But yeah, 660 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 1: that was it. Okay, Cowboys game against the Cardinals January 661 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: second is now a three twenty five kickoff. That's not 662 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: surprising the Cardinals news regarding them as a wide receiver 663 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins officially had surgery on a torn MCL. He's 664 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,240 Speaker 1: going to have it in the coming days. Is headed 665 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: to injured reserve. His regular season is over. They are 666 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: hopeful that he might be able to return if they 667 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: go deep in the playoffs. Yeah, I've never I've never 668 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: heard of anybody having surgery on a torn MCL. It 669 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: can't be a scope, right, Well, it probably is, but 670 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: I've maybe that is to give him a chance to 671 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: be back back to the playoffs. Well, normally, if you 672 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: tear your MCL, I mean it's it's it's usually a 673 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: partial tearror or whatever, and it's two to four weeks. 674 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: I don't recall anybody like tearing it all the way 675 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: because you a tear is if you stretch it right, 676 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: it's a terror because some of the ligament phrase right, um, 677 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: And then if you're somebody like me, it's a it's 678 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 1: a month and ye, yeah, I'm thinking it's medial. Thinking 679 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: you out well medial collateral and you're usually out two 680 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: to four. So maybe you're right. Maybe they have a 681 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: way to do surgery. Okay, so it's what is it 682 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: December sixteenth or so? Um, so they haven't ruled out 683 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: the playoffs, is they're right? And so that takes you 684 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: basically to the first four weeks, would get you to 685 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 1: the wild card round of the playoffs basically, right, So 686 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: maybe that's they Who knows, but I guess by doing 687 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: a surgery they can getting back quicker that way because 688 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: the MCL usually regenerates itself. Did that twice. That's how 689 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: you know so much about a man that has been bad. 690 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: All right. We touched on the Urban Meyer news in 691 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: Jacksonville the and we mentioned a possibility on a replacement there, 692 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: and of course the first tweets out after urban Meyer 693 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: was let go there was Kellen Moore tweets and so 694 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore to Jacksonville, Well, here's the thing, if you're 695 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 1: going to take that first job, you better make sure 696 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,919 Speaker 1: you got a quarterback. There's a quarterback. There's a quarterback there. Yeah, 697 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:55,879 Speaker 1: because I remember when who was it Sean Payton did 698 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: the interview with the Raiders, and it would have been 699 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: two thousand in four, two thousand and five. He got 700 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: to the Saints in oh six, I think it was, 701 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: so it must have been oh five. He interviewed and 702 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 1: he basically turned the job down because no quarterback, and 703 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: I think that was part of it. There were some 704 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: other reasons, you know. And I remember somebody said, oh, 705 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: he just he just committed professional suicide. He turned down 706 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: Al Davis and it's like, okay, but what situation is 707 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: are the Raiders in at this time? Davis has no 708 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: juice in the NFL. It was always about the way 709 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: back then, right and so and so. Anyway, and then 710 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 1: when he took the job with the Saints, it was 711 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: a it was a two man deal, right because they 712 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 1: took the chance on Drew Brees when the um what 713 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,280 Speaker 1: was it, It was his shoulder, It was a shoulder 714 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: and and so the Dolphins they they failed him on 715 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: his physical which didn't make Saban happy by the way, 716 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 1: and he only staged I think one more year and 717 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: then left. But it was about the quarterback and so 718 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: they I remember them signing it sounded like they signed 719 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 1: Breeze to this big contract. But basically, if you looked 720 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: at the inside of it, the details were one year, 721 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: ten million dollars. So they bet ten million dollars that 722 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: the shoulder would recover and he'd be fine. They won 723 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: the bet and Sean Payton became a genius head coach. 724 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: So don't go anywhere without a quarterback. Look at Jacksonville. 725 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: They have the potential for a good defense. They have 726 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,800 Speaker 1: a couple of veterans on there, especially at the linebacker position, 727 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: that doing the best they can under these situations. But 728 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 1: you know, you could go there and make some noise 729 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: first year, and you got to put together You got 730 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 1: to put together a staff because urban Meyer said, my 731 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 1: assistant coaches they are a bunch of losers. Probably didn't 732 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: help them out much. Goodness, man. So you know what, 733 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 1: You know what this proves if you're a college head coach, 734 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: you've got a lot of cover. You can do a 735 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: lot wrong if you're winning and it never leaks out. Yeah, 736 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: but once you get to the NFL, there's too many 737 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: eyes on you, and anything that off the off your 738 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,240 Speaker 1: competition is much stiffer. That's the main thing that exactly 739 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: caused you to do stupid things. If you're not prepared, 740 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that Jacksonville would be the place that 741 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: I would want to go, even with the quarterback. You know, 742 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 1: if first job, somebody's got to change it, somebody has 743 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: to change it down. Then where's Jimmy. Jimmy was in 744 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: Miami and uh, he flirted, he flirted with with Jacksonville. 745 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 1: That was one of the things. You remember, the Giants 746 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,399 Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. Anyway, you can keep flirted boat man, you know. Yeah, 747 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: that's right. If you got the place I can put 748 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: my boat and drink some beers, I'm good. The advantage 749 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 1: on the Jacksonville is you don't have the media that 750 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: I have at other places that can drive you out 751 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: real quick, you know. And they probably don't have a 752 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 1: very demanding fan base either, since they've been hotels. No. 753 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: I know that I showed up there one year to 754 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: cover at the last minute. I think it was Oklahoma 755 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: State in in what did they it was at the 756 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,760 Speaker 1: Wood Bowl Gator Bowl, and could not find a hotel. 757 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:31,760 Speaker 1: I could not find a hotel room and and it's 758 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 1: and the city's laid out kind of weird anyway, right, 759 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: And so I remember this was funny. Uh, the guy 760 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 1: that was covering for the Morning News. He had a 761 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: room and I had a rental car. So it was like, 762 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 1: he goes, okay, don't tell Dave Smith memory of the 763 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 1: sports edator Czar at the Morning News. He goes, but 764 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: we can share my room and then I'll share your 765 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 1: car and get me to the airport. I said, fine 766 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 1: with me, right, and so we pulled it off. But yeah, 767 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,919 Speaker 1: showed up there with that. That was an ugly super Bowl. 768 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 1: The event, oh, the super Bowl was just we had 769 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl golf tournament. I was invited to it, 770 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: and everyone was supposed to get paid like a thousand 771 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,720 Speaker 1: dollars to play golf. They're supposed to be a great event. 772 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: So you look around, I mean everyone was there. Bates 773 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: and Jack del Riel was still fussing about getting you know, 774 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,320 Speaker 1: Bates getting fired by Jack del Riel down there, u 775 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 1: LT was there, Banks was there, everybody, everybody was there, 776 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: and I remember on channeling he looked around. He said, 777 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 1: it's not enough money to pay all these people. Man, man, 778 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: what are you talking about it? Next thing, you know, 779 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 1: the guy that set up the event, they caught him 780 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 1: at the airport trying to get away with all the 781 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,399 Speaker 1: money no way. So we're standing there, the cops pull up. 782 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 1: Hey guys, you played out golf if you want. But 783 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: the guy that just set it up, you know, we 784 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,959 Speaker 1: just arrested this. Yeah, he ain't got It was ugly. 785 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 1: It was ugly. You know. The other thing that was 786 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,399 Speaker 1: there is what they pulled off, and that's why they'll 787 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: never get another Super Bowl. Is like, there wasn't a 788 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: lot of restaurants downtown, but the ones they did, they 789 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:20,280 Speaker 1: were charging a seating charge, so per person per table, 790 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: Like if you had five people they were charging that 791 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: would be fifty bucks before you even got on the menu. Yeah, 792 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 1: and and the menus changed, like the menu you looked 793 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 1: up online, wasn't the menu they were handing you. The 794 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 1: prices yeah, oh the prices changed, Yeah, the fan was still. 795 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: The prices change. Yeah. Yeah. But so my advice to 796 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 1: you it would be be patient. Sometimes you're you're you're 797 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: better off, you're better off as an offensive coordinator in 798 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,879 Speaker 1: a certain spot that you know, then then that head 799 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: coaching job elsewhere. Yeah, and he's young, he's he's gonna 800 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 1: have another oportunities, So there you go. You know, we 801 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 1: talked Zim sort of did the same thing. Too, because 802 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:13,240 Speaker 1: he had the interview um with Nebraska and he didn't 803 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: kind of like set up there and so unfortunately and 804 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: some of the most important thing is who you who 805 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: you gonna be working with? Right and then and then yeah, 806 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: and then they didn't. Uh. He he might have been 807 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 1: the head coach here, but Bill didn't decide to retire. 808 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 1: His contract was up and he had the opportunity to 809 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: go to Atlanta to be the defensive coordinator for the 810 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 1: guy that was at Louisville UM.
