Speaker 1: do what you normally do on your pod cast, which

14
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: entertained me by the way I watched them. I watched

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: them daily. First off, how's everybody doing, how's everybody doing?

Speaker 1: this is it right here. We got six more days

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: to the end of twenty twenty. Christmas is here, and man,

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: it's just a blessing to be with you guys. Now,

20
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: everything's good this way, no, man, I mean my pockets

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: are a little lighter than they typically are this time

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: of the year, you know, But everything's good, man, I'm good.

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna be able to give you

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: an update on practice as practice went along, but they

25
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: went indoors. So I'm here at the Star in one

26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: of the little offices, the meeting rooms, and I'm glad

27
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: to be with you guys. Excellent, So, Mickey, I haven't

28
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: been in the Star forever and a day, So tell

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: me what's the protocol to get in that thing? Man,

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: I haven't been in forever here. Well, it depends on

31
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: which end you want to enter. If you want to

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: enter where the players and the staff enter, that's on

33
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: the to buy left, on the other side of the

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: Doctor the new Doctor Pepper building, and you have to

35
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: pass a COVID test every day. Now, if you want

36
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: to enter on our side where the media comes in,

37
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: you just have to fill out your little form no no, no,

38
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: no no, hopefully and have your temperature taken and you're

39
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: allowed in. So we are on this end of the

40
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: building and we aren't allowed to go on the other

41
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: end of the building, and they're really not allowed to

42
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: come to our side either, by the way, all right,

43
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: these are the changes that we've had for COVID nineteen

44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty. Hopefully we can get back to the

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: way things used to be. Twenty one Cowboys hosting the

46
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: Eagles at A and T and T Stadium on Sunday.

47
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: Here m make one start with you on this. Antoine Woods,

48
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: Layton Xavier Woods could possibly miss this football game. What

49
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: will that mean? Mickey? Start with us and everybody go

50
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: around here and give me your take of these three

51
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: gentlemen aren't line up on Sunday. Yeah, and the Woods,

52
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the Woods is are not practicing again today. They didn't

53
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: practice yesterday, so yeah, it looks like they're probably missing

54
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: the game. Layton Vanderish, I think with a high ankle sprain,

55
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: he's probably definitely out. He hasn't practiced. Ezekiel Elliott was

56
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: going to be limited today and I think they're hopeful

57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: that he can make it. Same thing with Blake Bell.

58
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: He's got an illness and he hasn't practiced these last

59
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: two days, but McCarthy anticipates him being ready to go.

60
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: And Michael Gallup was full yesterday expected to be full today,

61
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: so he should be good to go. So yeah, the

62
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: two woodses what a Xavier down. Likely they'll use Darian

63
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Thompson as one of the safeties along with Donovan Wilson,

64
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: and as Mike talked today, they'll probably be be training

65
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: some of one or two of the corners to fill

66
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: in at the safety position along with Reggie Robinson if

67
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: indeed he's ready. At least he played more special teams

68
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: tackles in this in this pass game, ask for Antoine.

69
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: That means Justin Hamilton plan more at defensive tackle. And

70
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you noticed what they did last week

71
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: when they went into their nickel in definite passing situations,

72
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: they moved Alden Smith inside as a defensive tackle and

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: Tyrone Crawford. So that'll be a shared position without Antoine

74
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: in there, and you'd sure like to have him in

75
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: there because, as you know, dying well, what Philadelphia wants

76
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: to do. They want to run the football like everybody

77
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: else wants to do against this Cowboys defense. Thoughts, Yeah, no,

78
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of the guys that we potentially

79
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: might be missing. I know, we typically have the Connor bros.

80
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: That we're talking about, but the Woods bros. Now, both

81
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: of those guys, their presence are going to be dearly missed,

82
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: obviously in the secondary, just that veteran presence back there.

83
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Not even that he's been that exceptional this year, because

84
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody has been on that on that

85
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: side of things, but I think you just had just

86
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: that veteran presence and having all of our guys last

87
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: week was huge. So we'll definitely miss him Lvie. I

88
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: don't think that we'll miss Lvee as much as people think.

89
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: I know that he's in there. He's a shot caller,

90
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: he's a captain on that side, and really controls everything

91
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: on the defense side of the ball. But we have

92
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: another intellectual guy in the form of Sean lead At

93
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: a step in, and I'm a big fan of Joe

94
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: Thomas and his athleticism and what he brings to this team.

95
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: With him and Jaylen Smith hopefully being able to if

96
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: they're making the right and if they are where they're

97
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: supposed to be, their athleticism will pay huge dividends this

98
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: game against this against this offense. And I think probably

99
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: more than more than anything, we're gonna miss the big

100
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: boy in the middle, Big Woods, because we know um

101
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: as making ready alluded to it, these guys are gonna

102
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: try to run the ball at us, and you need

103
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: somebody to really clog some things up because they're gonna

104
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: try to pull their guards, um and pull their centers

105
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and things of that nature to try to get off

106
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: on the edge. So I think out of every position

107
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: that we're gonna be missing out of those guys, I

108
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: think big Woods in the middle is probably gonna be

109
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: the biggest loss we have. You know, I say, I'm

110
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: not gonna argue with you on Christmas Eve about them.

111
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna do it. But you know, of

112
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: the linebackers that I feel like, you know, all the

113
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: run stuffers, the guys that do better against the run,

114
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: LV is the one. And like Mix said, you know

115
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: what the Eagles are gonna do. They're gonna run the ball.

116
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: And no one is hedging their bets against the Eagles,

117
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: not trying to establish the running game the entire game.

118
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: But with the way that the numbers have been against

119
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense. But you guys have already said it

120
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: with Antoine Woods in the middle, he'll be missing that rotation.

121
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: But again, Neville Gallimore has shown you that he has

122
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: the ability to make plays behind Hamilton with Hamilton and

123
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: the other guys. Uh and just look, man, our defense

124
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: as of late has you know, the turnover differential and

125
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: all of that has made the difference in these ball games.

126
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: So if they can continue that, even with the guys

127
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: that we're gonna have missing, I'm excited about their chances

128
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But you know, in the back half of

129
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: our defense, if we fill in with guys like you know,

130
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: obviously having Donovan Wilson Thompson back there, you know, I'm

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: not as worried about the secondary simply because, like you said, Isaiah,

132
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: it's not as though we've had exceptional play from Xavier

133
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: Woods all season. So I mean, again there's the communication

134
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: that I feel like we've gotten better over the last

135
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: couple of games and hopefully we can continue with that. Man,

136
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: you're looking good. I love the Christmas outfit. Man, you

137
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: got a party afterwards you're going to I mean, you're

138
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: looking at going on. Man, and that boy sharp and

139
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: he knew he that boy cast get sharp. I trying

140
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: to tell you, here's here's a thing, here's a thing

141
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna be on with you and

142
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: anytime Mickey's around. I gotta be clean for Mickey. I mean,

143
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: this is why I did it, because I was gonna

00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: be on with Mickey Spagnola. You know, come on now,

145

00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get done with this podcast. And I got it.

00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: I got a head out here to go to go

00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: out him so so I'll be uh be all good there.

156
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: Um let me let me just dive here into this

157
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: Eagles and Isaiah I want to start with you on this.

158
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts he's about to make another start, and the

159
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: young man from Oklahoma and Alabama. In his first few games,

160
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: he's been electric. And that game against Arizona, he was

161
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: three hundred three eight yards in the air for three touchdowns,

162
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: and he ran on the ball eleven times for sixty

163
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: three yards and a touchdown, four toll touchdowns. If you

164
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: were Mike Nolan, how do you slow up Jalen Hurts,

165
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: who's come in here and electrified this Eagle's offense man.

166
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, knew you simplify things and

167
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: you you just make sure that guys understand what their

168
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: role is, who they are, what their role is on

169
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: his team. Right, tell them to play within themselves and

170
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: within their position. You ask guys to be as discipline

171
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: as they can be because there's really no win. Whether

172
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: you sit back in the zone, he's gonna pick you apart. Right.

173
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: Everybody talks about his athleticism, but a beheaved as we

174
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: saw last week, he is. He is picking guys a bar.

175
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: He is precise with his passes. He's sitting back there.

176
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: He's confident his office. A line was given him time

177
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: and he could die that thing up. He's smart enough

178
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: to identify what the coverages are in the weak spots

179
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: in his ownes. So you don't want to just sit back, Okay, Well,

180
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: what's the opposite of that? People say, well, how about

181
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: we blitz him, right, Let's put some pressure on him,

182
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: let's make him uncomfortable. Well, that's probably not what you

183
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: want to do either, because he's one of the more

184
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: athletic quarterbacks in this league. Oh, he's probably the strongest

185
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league. I would probably say as well.

186
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: So that's probably not gonna work out too well for you.

187
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: So if I can't blitz and I can't sit back

188
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: in coverage, what do I do? Well? Again, you ask

189
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: guys to play the coverage that you're that you're that

190
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: you're calling, and you just tell them to be disciplined

191
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: and play team ball. And that's the only way that

192
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna that You're gonna get this guy and hope

193
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: that he that he lays a ball on the ground.

194
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: As I know, Heck is gonna gonna talk about how

195
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: he's susceptible to turnovers in that regard. Yeah, I had

196
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: allow up. Yeah newly. I just feel like, you know,

197
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: with the NFL being a league based off of evaluating guys,

198
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: and I believe with the way he's come in, a

199
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: lot of defensive coordinators hadn't been able to pick apart

200
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: his game. See what he likes to do and see

201
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: what Peterson likes to set him up. Now the film

202
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: is out there and you can start to kind of

203
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: figure out where they're trying to place him with the

204
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: bootlegs and motions and things like that to make him comfortable. Uh.

205
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: You know, his skill set from Carson Wentz is pretty

206
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: much night and day. I feel like just because Carson Wentz,

207
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: I believe talent wise is the better is the better quarterback.

208
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: He's just having a horrible year uh this year. But

209
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: for our defense, it's it's the things that got us

210
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: in trouble in the past. Right, guy's not playing assignment

211
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: sound and admit ad libbing and just doing things on

212
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: their own. We have to get home that we have

213
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: to manufacture that pass rush with not not adding extra

214
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: guys to it. And that's that's gonna fall in the

215
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: lap of God's like Tank Lawrence uh and getting that

216
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: backside pressure and Randy Gregory as well Alden Smith. You know,

217
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: these are the names that we're gonna have to be

218
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: saying a lot by making Jalen Hurts uncomfortable. He's still

219
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: a rookie, right, He's still a rookie. And as much

220
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: as we want to you know, pump him up because

221
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: of the match up. There are some things that I

222
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: feel like, Mike Nolan should you do to make him uncomfortable?

223
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: And those things obviously going to be with tinkering his coverage.

224
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: You know, Showman plays own things like that too. Safety

225
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: maybe one safety high, just to confuse the looks that

226
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurst believes that he has pre snapped. You know, guys,

227
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: I had lost connection there, so I wasn't concentrate on

228
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: whatever everything you said. But if they don't stop the run,

229
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: they aren't going to get a chance to rush the quarterback.

230
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: So they better be able to figure out how to

231
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: stop the run. And especially if Philadelphia decides to go

232
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: two tight ends or two running backs, and then the

233
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys are coming in there with their little nickel defense

234
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: and some skinny ass safety close to the line of

235
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: scrimmage instead of another linebacker, And now you're down a

236
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: linebacker without Layton vander Esh. You know, you again to

237
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: play Shaun Lee and Joe Thomas. But again, to me,

238
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: you're overwhelmed than personnel if they go a run heavy

239
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: offense and you're sitting there in your nickel defense. So yeah,

240
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: you guys, talked about getting pressure on Jalen Hurts, and

241
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: I get that, but if they start running the football.

242
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean you talked about how the defense played better.

243
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: They gave up one hundred and fifty yards rushing to

244
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and San Francisco had a big neon sign

245
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: out there saying We're going to run and they couldn't

246
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: stop it. So to me, they got to stop Jalen

247
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: Hurts from running, and they got to stop the rest

248
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: of that Philadelphia offense from running. And by the way,

249
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: I would rather see Carson Rentz Wentz out there than

250
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts running around with the football. So make it's

251
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: still an upset about that Baltimore defense that Mike Rola

252
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: ran out there. Hey, I got a question for you, Mick.

253
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: I know, I know you said the neon I think

254
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: I saw the neon sign flashing too. I don't know

255
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: if you saw that as well. Maybe it was just

256
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: me blinking a lot, but but San Francisco came in

257
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: here and did what they did. We didn't necessarily stop

258
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: them a whole bunch, right, they were running the ball

259
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: like they wanted to. My question is, and my concern,

260
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: I know you're talking about the skinny the skinny secondary

261
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: guy coming down there. But I feel as if we

262
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: almost have to bring in a secondary guy to guard

263
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: if they do go two tights with these tight ends,

264
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: because these tight ends can get off the ball. These

265
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: tight ends are both dangerous and Jalen It likes to

266
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: throw to these guys and he's gonna put it on

267
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: the money, So he's gonna body up some smaller guys

268
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: and he's gonna run by the linebackers. So both of you,

269
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: so what what do you do as a defensive coordinator

270
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: if you're if you're facing these guys. If I'm the

271
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: de coordinator, I'm gonna bring my my extra safeties in.

272
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: I know, we got about thirty of them now right,

273
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring one of my extra safeties in. And

274
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell these guys put your hands on these

275
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: guys at the line of scrimmage and disrupt it. And

276
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: if they run the ball, you need to get on

277
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: the outside and shoot and hunker down and have leverage.

278
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: And I hope that your boys come home from the inside. Well,

279
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: the thing I can the thing I worry about also

280
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: is one of the things he started doing these last

281
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: couple games is playing a five man line with Dorin's

282
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: armstrong acting like a strong side linebacker that he's not,

283
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: by the way. And so now once you miss a gap,

284
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: you only got one linebacker standing there, and it's it's

285
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: Katie Barr the door you're gone. To me, that second

286
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: level of the defense is non existent when you do that,

287
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: and I think that causes problems. I worry about him running.

288
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: I know he threw for three hundred yards last week,

289
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: but the first week he started, he ran for one

290
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards. And we saw what Lamar Jackson did running

291
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: the ball. We saw what Kyler Murray did running the ball.

292
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: They've got to figure out how to stop that before

293
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: they earned the right to rush the quarterback. So, menike,

294
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: let me say this. So when we say the defense

295
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: is playing better, we're saying, look, they didn't give up

296
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. They gave a bunch of fifty yards

297
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: over the business in last place. We gotta find a

298
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: civil lining to all of this. Obviously, you know you

299
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: gotta line up and stop the run for the Eagles. True,

300
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: but you can't. Maybe you can't take away everything in

301
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: our Achilles Hill has been the amount of yards that

302
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: we've been giving up in the running game. So as

303
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: long as they don't go for three hundred, yeah, we

304
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: should be okay. No, as long as they take the

305
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: ball over, tike the ball away four times, they're okay.

306
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: If you don't get those takeaways. San Francisco had four

307
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight yards. I forgot I put the quarterback.

308
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: It was a backup quarterback and they had four hundred

309
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: and fifty eight yards. Come on, all right, let's take

310
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: a break here. Nicky's fired up and I love fired up, Mickey.

311
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: I love fired up, Mickey. I do want to discuss

312
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: some comments that Ezekiel Elliott made to the media. Also

313
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's job status and that possibly he could be

314
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: moving on to an excellent opportunity if it comes this way,

315
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: and so the most disappointing thing that three guys have

00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: doing it with me. Nui scrugs and um let me

357
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: dive into one ezekiel alliet. This has been the most

358
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: disappointing year of Zeke's career, and he missed last week

359
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: this game with a calf injury, says he wants to play.

360
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: This is what Ezekiel had to say about people calling

361
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: for his job because Tony Pollard looked good last last

362
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: week filling in for him, and he said, quote, at

363
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: the end of the day, those people aren't signing my checks.

364
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: Those aren't the cats that are making the final decision.

365
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: I think there's a reason they're not the ones making

366
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: those decisions. I don't think it really matters. Hackman's going

367
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: to start with you your thoughts on Ezekiel Elliott and

368
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: what he had to say, because there are people who

369
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: were disappointed in his performance this year, and you've seen

370
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: social media, some people saying he's overrated. Some people say

371
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: it's a bad deal your tech. Yeah, I mean fair

372
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: enough from ezekiel standpoint to say that. And this has

373
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: just been one of those things in twenty twenty that

374
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: people have been talking about him and losing a burst,

375
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: losing burst and not being what he used to be

376
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: in years past. And he hears the whispers from that,

377
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: especially like you said, on social media, but he has

378
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: to keep his blinder zone and not pay attention to

379
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: things like that, and even the people that are saying

380
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: that Tony Pollard was that much better of a running

381
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: back than him on last Sunday, Obviously we're not looking

382
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: at the carriers and numbers before that forty yard touchdown Birst.

383
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: So look, I think for it's about getting his health back,

384
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: about having those OTA's training camps, and really coming back

385
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: stronger next year. This has been an off year, and

386
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: the people and the people that are not given credit

387
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: to the fact that he has been running behind a

388
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: beat up offensive line and not been and hasn't been

389
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: able to be the running back that he had been

390
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: in the past. I just I think that they are

391
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: looking at this and they're being very short sighted. It's

392
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: not a beat up offensive line, it's a second rate

393
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. What you said, they ain't got nobody that

394
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: can block, you know, if you can't protect the quarterback,

395
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: which makes you think you can block through the running game,

396
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: and you know, you guys said these people who are

397
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: these people? Did these people realize that Tony Pollard had

398
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: ten carries for twenty three yards before his last two

399
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: carries for forty six yards, he was averaging two point

400
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: three yards of carry. It wasn't because of his talent.

401
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: It was because that offensive line can't run block and

402
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: they have been able to run block all season long.

403
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Once they lose three starters, and to me, you guys,

404
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: and you tell me if you think so or not,

405
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: think lost four starters because I think Tyler Beidis had

406
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: won that starting center job. Ye. Yeah, you guys are

407
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: on the money for all those people. First of all,

408
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: let me address Zeke. Zeke, um bro, don't don't listen

409
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: to these casts. So every understands. Everybody's gonna have an

410
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: opinion regardless. Everybody has an opinion. You don't have to

411
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: agree with it or you can roll with it. Either way,

412
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna have an opinion. Okay, So don't have to

413
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: listen to it. You don't even have to respond to

414
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: these people when you talk about these people, Mick. These

415
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: people are the people out there that are just again

416
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: they like like like like Zeke said, they're not signing

417
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: in a check, so I really can't care less what

418
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: they have to say. Right, Zeke is still Zeke. Let's

419
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: not get it mixed up. He had he had a

420
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: couple of bad games where he fumbled. Last time I checked.

421
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: I think every player and goes through a series of

422
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: bad games. It happens, It happens. Okay, nobody's talking about

423
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson fell off, right, And Russell Wilson he's had

424
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: he's had some bad games this year. Right, So you're

425
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: you're you're allowed to have bad games. Right. The thing

426
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: that sucks here is your you're a Dallas cowboy. You

427
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: just got a big contract. Oh and by the way,

428
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, um now you're playing with your third and

429
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: fourth string, you know, office alignment. Oh okay, yeah, that's

430
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: that's a perfect, perfect concoction for for a great year.

431
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: It's not realistic. People, And like Mick just just talked about,

432
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't matter if it's Tony Pollard, It

433
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's Zeke uh em it unless you

434
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: go get Barry Sanders back there, who who historically played

435
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: with a bad office a line. He's the only person

436
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna make some of these plays positive. And that's

437
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: the reality of the matter. If you can't get past

438
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, what versus there to see? What's what? What?

439
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: What versus there to see? What Tony Pollard is is

440
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: a is a is a third down back right type

441
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: scat back who's who's who. His job is to get

442
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: those third down conversions and to be receiving back. That's

443
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: what he does well. Zeke is a power back whose

444
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: job is to gree in there, empower that thing up

445
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: in there and guess what. Oh, by the way, when

446
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: those guys decided to blitz, I'm gonna make him pay

447
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: for it. That's what Zeke is there for. And you

448
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: paid him based upon the success that he was having

449
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: with that offensive line, not the success he's having without

450
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line. So give the man a chance. Get

451
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: off his back. I don't there care who it is

452
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: back there. They're gonna struggle with this officsive line, as

453
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: Mick said, and they're playing with bad pad level and

454
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: you can't you can't get you can't get underneath nobody,

455
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: you can't move anybody out the way. This is why

456
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: I enjoy this scramble right here, getting different perspectives from

457
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: guys on this. Let me switch to the offensive coordinator,

458
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore is a legend at Boise State University.

459
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: He finished with a fifty and three record as a

460
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: starting player from two thousand and seven to two thousand

461
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: and eleven. Brian Harrison left the Broncos went to Auburn University.

462
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: One of the things he spoke about was he wanted

463
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: Boise State to get out of the Mountain West because

464
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: he doesn't feel like they can make making in the

465
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: College Football Playoff in that league. So he decided, you

466
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: know what, I'm just gonna leave myself. So he's now

467
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: in the SEC. The job is open for the first

468
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: time since two thousand and one. Kellen Moore, is this

469
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: the best opportunity and the opportunity that he wants to

470
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: go be the head coach to go home at Boise

471
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: State University? Do you think it'll happen? I'll start with you,

472
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Mickey spagnol, Well, I think it comes down to what

473
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: his priorities are. Does he want to be a college

474
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: coach or does he want to be an NFL coach?

475
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: And as we've seen lately in the NFL, if you're

476
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: an awfully good coordinator, no matter how young you are,

477
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: you just might land a head coaching job. If you

478
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: go to Boise State and you still want to be

479
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: an NFL head coach, then it's a stepping stone job, right,

480
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: And you got to ask yourself do I want to recruit?

481
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: Do I want to have to go out there in

482
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: this day and age and sell myself to some seventeen

483
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: and eighteen year old kid, or do I want to

484
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: sit here in one of the top franchises in the

485
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: National Football League and continue to make my name for

486
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: myself and I know who my orderback is, by the way,

487
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: even keep them healthy. So yeah, I think it comes

488
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: down to him. I mean, didn't he have this opportunity

489
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: to be the offensive coordinator there a year or two

490
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: ago and he decided to stay here? So uh, and

491
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: you know what happens here when Jerry wants to keep

492
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: an assistant coach, you know, he'll tell them, so that

493
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to what his priorities are,

494
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: because I think absolutely they want him to come back

495
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: and be the head coach. If I'm if I'm calling Moore,

496
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: There's no way I leave the Cowboys to go be

497
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: the coach of at Boise State, even with all of

498
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: his you know, popularity at Boise I just feel like

499
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: he's been knighted by the organization to be you know,

500
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: the heir apparent. Maybe when you know McCarthy's era is over,

501
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 1: um so to you know, I just don't feel as

502
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: though that would be a move that he would make.

503
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: Right now. There's so many things that he has working

504
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: for him, especially with getting this offense started. In the

505
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: numbers that he's been putting up. You know, he's gonna

506
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: have some success in this league pretty soon. And I

507
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: think with the Cowboys, as soon as we can get

508
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: our defense to where it needs to be and obviously

509
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: not have the substantial injuries that we've had up front,

510
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: and just you know, oh, by the way, Dak Prescott

511
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: going down. Look, I think we would be talking about

512
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. We wouldn't even be talking about Kellen Moore

513
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: in the Boise stage job if Dak was healthy this

514
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: year and we had, you know, a full arsenal of guys.

515
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: Yeah know, you guys hit on it. It's like the

516
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: it's like Heckma's twelve foot Christmas tree that he has

517
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: back there in the background. You know, if that if

518
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: you have a if you have a real shiny ornament

519
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: at the top, right, it's just sparkling, right, it's just

520
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: kind of glimmering at you. You know, that's Boise State, right,

521
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: and it's up there. It's like I can go up

522
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: there and I can grab that thing, right, but I

523
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: risk everything else below it just tumbling, right, is it?

524
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: Is it really worth going out there and taking that

525
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: opportunity when there's building blocks to being the head coach

526
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: potentially the Dallas Cowboys or any other organization. Here, you

527
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: guys already said it. He's he's groomed, he has been knighted. Um,

528
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: he is one of Jerry's boys. Now, you're a good right,

529
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: You're in the club. You know you're You're like Mickey

530
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: you you're in the club. Man, you ain't going nowhere.

531
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: You know both the floor, You're bolted to the floor, man,

532
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 1: three quarter inch. So he's you know, he's gone. He's

533
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: in a perfect position right now. Continue to build, continue

534
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: to develop. Um, I personally don't think that he would

535
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: even be ready for that for that position. Here's too much.

536
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of management that comes with being the

537
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: head coach of a whole collegiate program. Um. So no,

538
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: he'll be here, and you guys, you guys need to understand.

539
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: I've moved around so much at the Star and here

540
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: around at the Ranch, and every move I made it

541
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: was closer to the door. Okay, all right, I'm gonna

542
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: push up. Go ahead, let me push back on Kellen

543
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: Moore here. Bear Bryant once said, when Mama calls you go,

544
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: and Bear Bryant loved it at Texas A and m

545
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: and took Let's money to go back to Alabama as

546
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: it was home. And I think if the people of

547
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: Boise Stay lean on him and say Kellen, we really

548
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: want you here, I think he goes because it's home

549
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: and it's your program. It's about you. Look, and I

550
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: think Mickey, you can back this up because you've covered

551
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: this and up when you're here with the Dallas Cowboys.

552
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Even if you're the head coach, you know who's really

553
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: the star. You know who the big You know who

554
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: the big guy is is Jared. We need to go

555
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: to Boise Stay. You're the star, you're the head coach.

556
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: It's your program. I think Kelly Moore's plays that he

557
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: calls here, I think these plays would be excellent at

558
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: the collegiate level. And I'll also follow this up with

559
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: this because I've said it on the show with Barry

560
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: and Danny. I think Mike McCarthy misses calling plays that

561
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: he likes calling plays. And if Kellen Moore's gone. That

562
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: guy gets that big old play sheet back. I mean,

563
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: this guy every week has this huge play sheet. I'm like,

564
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: why do you need that big old play sheet if

565
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: you're not calling old plays? This man wants to calls

566
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: and plays. So I think that Kelly Moore goes this thing,

567
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: puts Mike McCarthy where he wants to be. And I

568
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: go back to when Wade Phillips, who is the head

569
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 1: coach here, and he have Bryan Stewarts defensive coordinator, and

570
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: they moved Stewart out and Jerry said, hey, wait, I

571
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: want you here to call plays because this is what

572
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: you do best. And I think that Mike McCarthy calling

573
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: plays with the Dallas Cowboys in twenty twenty one, would

574
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: kellamore be in the head coach of Poyson State. Maybe

575
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: a win win. I don't know about your example there

576
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: newly with Brian Stewart, because that was Wade's biggest mistake.

577
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: The reason he gets head coaching jobs is because he's

578
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: a good defensive coordinator. And why would you hand off

579
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: what's your best at to somebody else that wasn't very

580
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: good at it? Right? And I used to have the

581
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: same opinion of Jason Garrett. You got the job because

582
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: you were an offensive coordinator, and then a year or

583
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: two after you got the job, you handed it off

584
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: to somebody else, right, and then in the end you

585
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: didn't see eye to eye with that guy very well.

586
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: So to me, the reason you get a head coaching

587
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: job is because you did something well as a core coordinator,

588
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: and then you give up what you did well and

589
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: you're going to depend on somebody else. I wouldn't do that.

590
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: I'd be afraid of that. And I think Mike McCarthy's

591
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: very comfortable because it was his idea to bring or

592
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: to keep Kellen Moore here. And if you remember the

593
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: first press conference he said, he said that if I

594
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten this job, I had my eye on Kellen

595
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: Moore to bring him along wherever I went as my

596
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. So he may have that play sheet, and

597
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett had the play sheet too, and it's the

598
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: head coach's prerogative that if he doesn't like the play call,

599
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: it's like, ah, wait a minute, here, let me change that.

600
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: Let's think about doing this. So and the other thing

601
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: I think you need to understand with the offensive coordinator

602
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: and Isaiah helped me out here, But he doesn't sit

603
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: there with a roller decks during the game and say,

604
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: let me call this. They've got this planned out as

605
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: a staff going in when we're in this situation. Here's

606
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: what we want to do. You can pick these three

607
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: plays in this particular situation. So I think Mike McCarthy

608
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: is very comfortable with the guy that has been very

609
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: creative trying to figure out how does he compensate for

610
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: an offensive line that had can't hold down the line

611
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And that's why you see all these what

612
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: Warren Powers used to say when he was the head

613
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: coach at Missouri, these gingerbread plays, all the little fancy

614
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: things he's trying to do to get the ball out

615
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: on the perimeter because they can't run between the tackles.

616
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't disagree, you know, let's hear it. Let's hear it.

617
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: Let's hear the point. No, I believe you break up

618
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: a good point, nui about Mike McCarthy and his play

619
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: calling and what we've what we've been historically used to

620
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: seeing from coach Mike McCarthy, and people don't give any

621
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: credit anymore to the fact that Mike McCarthy was doing

622
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: video conferences with his offense and trying to, you know,

623
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: get these guys acclimated with his system of what he

624
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: wanted to do. It only made sense that he stayed

625
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: with what Kelly Moore had been doing but previous previously,

626
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: not don't rock the boat or change anything too much.

627
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: But look, I just feel like this offseason, both of

628
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna have to get on the same page,

629
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: and it's gonna come down to the health of this

630
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: team and being able to go forward with it, but

631
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: offensively and just the play calling part of it. I

632
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: don't believe that Mike McCarthy has given up as much

633
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: of it as we think he has. Yeah, and I

634
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: think all of its pretty much speculation obviously, because we're

635
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: not in those meetings and we don't understand who's really

636
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: in control. We know, we know what Mike McCarthy and

637
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: what his history has shown. But you know, to Mickey's point,

638
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: he did, you know, he did give give up his

639
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: responsibilities to Kelly Moore. And my only issue with Kelly

640
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: Moore has been just that make all the glitz and

641
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: glamor that he did up until last week. Last week,

642
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: those that glitz and glamor was misdirection, it was it

643
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: was it was just literally to throw off the you know,

644
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: it's smoking it was just smoking guns. You know, it

645
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: was just to throw off the other team. But it

646
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: was still within the confines of your offense. And that's

647
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: the stuff that works. That's the stuff that our defense

648
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: has had issues with. In terms of guys running across motions.

649
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: You're setting up plays series in advance, games in advance, right,

650
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: giving them these looks in preparation for it working this

651
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: one time. For those that don't know, you know, this

652
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: stuff is mapped out. You know, this stuff is mapped

653
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: out far in advance. You know the players that they're

654
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna run you know this this weekend. They set those

655
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: plays up two or three games ago. So this is

656
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: stuff that they work on. These play calls, these play

657
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: sheets that you guys are talking about. You know, these

658
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: are three, four or five hundred plays deep sometimes and

659
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: you know we used to sit through and pick these

660
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: things apart play by play, series by series. I mean,

661
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: it's so down to the analytics where it'd be third

662
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: and five and literally you're walking the huddle and be like, okay,

663
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: you remember when when we come out on this personnel.

664
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: They're thirty seven percent of the time they're blitzing like

665
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: these are the numbers that are popping up in your

666
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: head because this is the stuff that you that you

667
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: literally go over every single day, so they know exactly

668
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: what the doing. My only issue with Mike McCarthy this

669
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: year has been what he's allowed to come across across

670
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: that microphone, you know, to Mickey's point, Like I said,

671
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: I've said it on Talking Calboys before when I was

672
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: with the Patriots and I was, you know, and I

673
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: was a little you know, clipboard clipboard quarterback when I

674
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: first got there. You know, I would hear player certain

675
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: play calls come across from Billy O'Brien and Bill Belichick

676
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: would just say, no, run it, and that was it.

677
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: He's like, okay, all right, we're running it, and that

678
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: was it, you know. So he has that he has

679
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: that authority. And think about this, guys, and this is

680
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: no coincidence. The side of the ball that they kept

681
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: continuity with from last year has been more productive than

682
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: the side of the ball that they tried to come

683
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: in and reinvent the wheel with, right, So there's something

684
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: to be said for continuity, and let's not forget what

685
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: this offense was due and when Dak Prescott was in

686
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: there and before Ben Denucci and Karrot Gilbert has you

687
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: wagon throwing the quarterback right, his name is Wagon. Let's

688
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: take a break here. Let's take our final break on

689
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,000

691
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: I want to get the guys take on something that

692
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy says he's going to do on Christmas Day

693

Speaker 1: for his football team. We'll do that as the players

Speaker 1: practice right now as we speak indoors now Christmas Day.

736
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy has decided that the Cowboys will not practice.

737
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: He's giving the players that day for themselves. He says

738
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: they should be at home with their families. Isaiah, take

739
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: me back to your time with Bill Belletch. Check how

740
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: did he work things, And what did he think about

741
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy giving the Cowboys Christmas day off. Yeah, no,

742
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know about days off. Man. I

743
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: think we I think I think we came in. I

744
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: think we came in a little later. If if I

745
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: remember correctly, I think we came in late bid day. Uh,

746
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, yeah, I think that's what it was.

747
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: For my time. I don't remember ever having a day

748
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: off for Christmas. But that's awesome that he feels confident

749
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: that those guys are prepared to do that. I'm it's

750
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: a it's a fine line because the fact that the

751
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: matter is playoffs are still on the custom that's the reality.

752
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't probably sound good or even sound realistic,

753
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: but um, that's the reality. So days off this close

754
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: to that run, I don't know. I would. I would

755
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: probably just have those guys coming in at twelve o'clock

756
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: so that they can wake up and enjoy the morning

757
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: with their families. You know what, let me bring some

758
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: perspective to that day off on Friday. Uh. You know,

759
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy changed the practice routine for the Cowboys, where

760
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: normally Friday was the last day of practice Saturday was

761
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: a walkthrough. Well, now he gives them the walkthrough on

762
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: Friday and they practice on Saturday, so that Friday happens

763
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: to be Christmas. Basically the walkthrough, they'll double up on Saturday,

764
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: which is as Isaiah knows, it's like a meeting on

765
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: the field. Everybody runs out, Okay, second kickoff team, go

766
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: out there. It's not really a practice practice. So basically

767
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: they're getting out of meetings. They'll probably go a little

768
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: bit longer today. And then he said today in his

769
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: conference call that they'll have what he calls mock game

770
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: is the walkthrough. They'll have that. They'll have two things

771
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and it's a home game, so now you

772
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: don't have to traut revel. But Isaiah's right whether the

773
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: former coaches here, when when Thanks getting, i mean Christmas

774
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: got in the way of practice, it was like, okay,

775
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: everybody come in at two o'clock. I know, that's kind

776
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: of what Jason Garrett used to do. But then Saturday,

777
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: basically you came in ten o'clock. By eleven, you had

778
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: the day to yourself. You were done. So he just

779
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: taken the walkthrough, move it to Saturday and give him

780
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: Friday off, so they're missing a couple of meetings. They'll

781
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: double up today and double up on Saturday. So I

782
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: don't know if he's you know, acting like Santa Claus

783
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: here's a Christmas President. Oh, And I believe that Mike

784
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy knows the pulse of this team and everything that

785
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: these guys have been through health wise, and if if

786
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: Friday was just gonna be a walkthrough, and they've made

787
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: up for that by doubling down on more things through

788
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: this week than you know, Look, kudos to those guys

789
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: being able to get Christmas Day off, Like you said, Isaiah,

790
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: not a lot of teams will do that. You'll still

791
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: have to come in later. Doesn't matter if it's all

792
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: walk through or what have you. But I just trust

793
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy knows and has his hand on the

794
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: pulse of this team and knows what's gonna work best

795
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 1: for those guys. Maybe that's something that galvinizes them because

796
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: they realized that he trusts them with the whole preparation process.

797
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: You know. The other thing he's done these last last

798
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: week and this week as he shortened the practice, it's

799
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: kind of the last three games. He said He's normally

800
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: done that when he was at Green Bay, just to

801
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: get the guys off their legs and let him recuperate

802
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. More so, he's he's taken about twenty

803
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: minutes off the Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday practice just

804
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: to shorten things up, to try to keep his guys

805
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: as fresh as possible going forward, because the last thing

806
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: you do is leave your game on the field on

807
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: Friday and then Saturday Sunday you're worn out, all right.

808
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: Prediction time here, Cowboys are a two and a half

809
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: point dog to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys have to

810
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: win this game. They lose this game, they're not gonna

811
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: be able to win the East and make the playoffs.

812
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: So heck, I'm starting with you. I kind of have

813
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: a feeling I know where you're going, but I'm gonna

814
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: start with you. Man. It look no, it's not I'm

815
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: everybody knows me no that There's no way that I

816
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: would ever pick the Philadelphia those periods. Correct, I'm incapable

817
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 1: of doing that. I just can't. And I just feel

818
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: like in a must win game situation for these guys

819
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: and everything that they've been through all year with the media,

820
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: dogs and them fans everybody else. This is a game

821
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: that they know that they have to show up for

822
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: here they T and T Stadium. So I'm taking the

823
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys in seventeen to ten was my prediction. Wow, you

824
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 1: got Mike Nolan holding somebody to ten points. Okay, Okay,

825
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: I do okay, okay, okay, all right, Isaac, what you got? Yeah,

826
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: it's not that I'm gonna go with Now. I'm going

827
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys on this one. I think that they

828
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: find a way. I think that they have enough fight.

829
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: They've been through enough this year, They've overcome enough of

830
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: adversity that they're gonna realize and acknowledge the fact that, hey, shoot,

831
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: if we take care of business today in Washington loses,

832
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: it's a week seventeen showdown, right, So it's a week's

833
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: show that we actually have a real chance at this.

834
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: And I think they realized that. I think that they're

835
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: going to refuse to allow Philly to come in here

836
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: and smack them upside to hey like other teams have.

837
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: So I think the Dallas wins twenty four seventeen, twenty

838
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: four seventeen, The Voice of Reason, Mickey Spagnola. So I

839
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: see there's an Everson Walls and the Nate Newton on

840
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: every team. I never you get podcasts right, never pick

841
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Right. Well, guess what. I finally am

842
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: eligible to pick them to win because I think after

843
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: they lost to I think it was Baltimore. Maybe I

844
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: can't remember what the loss was, but I said, I

845
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: will not pick them to win again until they win

846
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: too straight. And I was running out of games, right,

847
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: and now they won two straight, so I picked in

848
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: blues all these games that they've won here in the

849
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: last five five games, but they're they're two point underdogs.

850
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: They were four point underdogs to San Francisco, and I

851
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: thought this was funny. All the guys covering the team

852
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: in San Francisco area picked the Cowboys to win, and

853
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: all the people here in Dallas picked San Francisco to win, right,

854
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: and nobody got Only the San Francisco people got it

855
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: right right. They knew their team. So now that I

856
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: got the opportunity to pick them to win, because I

857
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: thought they would win last week, but I couldn't pick them.

858
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm going twenty four, twenty three. I just think that

859
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: they will have just enough offense to be able to

860
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: beat Philadelphia and just enough defense to squeak by and

861
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: win this game against a rookie quarterback who now people

862
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: know a little bit more about what he's all about

863
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: on the field. You've got two starts to study. Jalen Hurts,

864
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to keep my word what I

865
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: said yesterday on the playoff lads, which was a twenty

866
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: seven twenty one Philadelphia. When this is not Nick Mullins,

867
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: this is not Brandon Allen and Mickey you already alluded

868
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: to it. They gave up one hundred and fifty yards

869
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: to San Francisco, and you knew what they wanted to do.

870
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: And this is when you saw Mostard go down and

871
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: then Wilson came in. He went down, and they were

872
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: still out here running, bringing Tevin Coleman in. I've got

873
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: I got to see this team stop the run. That's

874
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: my biggest concern here. I'm just I just don't trust

875
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: mister Nolan and then not having Woods, not having um

876
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: Lake vander esh. I think these are gonna be some

877
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: issues for the Cowboys, but we shall see. We shall see.

878
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: It's fifteen minutes afterward. I don't want to push our producer,

879
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: Chris Beam on Christmas Eve, he's got things to do,

880
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: so Mickey Isaiah, Hey, thank you so much for coming
