Here the Star 8 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: in Frisco, and Everson Walls joins us from a remote location. 9 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: How are you, Everson? During Fine, sir. It's so good 10 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: to be invited to this show. Spags is very spicy today. 11 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: He is. We want to make sure we do it right. Yeah, 12 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: he is. And you know why he's spicy today is 13 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: because he's he's on pins and needles because his baseball 14 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: team is playing Game two of a division series right 15 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: now in Houston, so we may not have his full 16 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: attention for the next forty five minutes. You want to 17 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: click tomorrow quick story here. I knew we were going 18 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: to get a quick story last time. It may not 19 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: be that quick. Last time, the White Sox were in Houston, 20 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: the one at All playoff game. I was there to 21 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: watch them clinch the night to two thousand and five 22 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: World Series. It was two thousand and five, one thousand 23 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: and five, sixteen years ago. Wow, I was just a 24 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: youngster then. Yeah, you were like you were like two 25 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: inches shorter then no, taller taller. All right, So here 26 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: it is a Friday before the Giants are here at 27 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: three twenty five on Sunday afternoon, and it's a virtual Friday, right, 28 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: is that what we call it? Here? Might as well 29 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: because there's no practice and mock game day and say 30 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: virtual media availability for the players today. So that's why 31 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to start calling it a virtual virtual Friday. 32 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: I think that might be the title. They don't practice 33 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: at all, No, they have a extended walkthrough today and 34 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: then they practice tomorrow. It's the new school way of 35 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: preparing for games. Wow, that is so nice. Just get 36 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: a little stretchy in a little massage, right, and then 37 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: they build up to game day, and then they build 38 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: up to game day, so you get a little a 39 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: regeneration day after padded practice on Thursday, a little bit 40 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: of rest, and then on Friday and then Saturday you 41 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: start looking towards the game instead of being off for 42 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: you get forty eight hours, I work out with more 43 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: bouncing your steps, and you build up to three twenty 44 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: five on Sunday afternoon. Absolutely, I think there be real guys, 45 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: and they would have done that back in the day. 46 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: We would have taken that extra time and went out 47 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: to a club party. You know, well, I would have 48 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: used it to rest. Right. We probably did on Friday anyway, 49 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: we knew Saturday you were off. Yeah, so that may 50 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: be the real reason behind doing it that way. Okay, 51 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: guys that go out on Thursday night rather than Friday night, 52 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: and so it's more time to recover. It's more time 53 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: to recover from from Thursday to Sunday rather than Friday 54 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: to Sunday. I recovered that was not part of ours deal. 55 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: We'd never recovered. That wasn't part of the deal. I 56 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: hear you, all right, Mickeys, So tell us what's going 57 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: on injury wise with this team? Well, nothing changed. Um, 58 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, obviously today will be an estimation, but they'll 59 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: probably put who's gonna play and who's not. Then they 60 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: might a guy or two questionable, but I think everybody's 61 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: good to go. The only guys that that didn't practice 62 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: were the guys we knew weren't going to practice, Dorrence 63 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Donovan Wilson. Their list in, Amari Cooper and 64 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: Zeke limited, but they had the pads on yesterday, so 65 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: it sounded like, as Mike McCarthy said in his press 66 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: conference today that they got through practice just bye and 67 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: he expects them to be good to go. The other 68 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: guys that were limited also practice. Randy Gregory was out there, 69 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: had the pads on, so did Carlos Watkins, so they 70 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: probably will see him tying the secky limited, but if 71 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: he's in uniform, it'll be in a backup role. So yeah, 72 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: from an injury standpoint, they're good. The Giants still on Thursday, 73 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: and that was a full practice on Thursday for them, 74 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: are still without Sterling Shepard and Darius uh Slayton, their 75 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: other wide receivers, so and Jabrill Peppers was just looking 76 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: up as stats and Jabille Preppers did not practice either, 77 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: so they had three starters not practicing on Thursday. We'll 78 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: see what happens today. Yeah, has anyone ever thought about 79 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: the potential matchup between Michael Postons and I love that 80 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: match Yeah, I love that matchup. You know, we've spent 81 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: so much time this week talking about the release of 82 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith, so let's dive in right there. Of course, 83 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: se Quon Barkley only played in two games last year 84 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: toward his ACL, and he's been building up snaps this 85 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: year and had last week had his best game. In fact, 86 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: scored on a fifty four yard touchdown pass late in 87 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: the game as the Giants won in overtime over the 88 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: same and they forgot to cover him out flank. That helps. 89 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: That helps even if you got a bad as you 90 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: also had a long play on a screen pass. So 91 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: his ability to catch the football out of the backfield 92 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: as well as run with it, he's he's now full 93 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: goal after coming off that ACL. And so now you 94 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: know Parsons Everson coming off of his UH. He had 95 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: a full plate last week with sixty eight snaps, primarily 96 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: roll at linebacker. And so here we go, Parsons versus Barkley, 97 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: I love it, and Penn State versus Penn State. I 98 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: have a feeling. I have a feeling they're going to 99 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: uh create, you know, keep this matchup going. I really 100 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: don't see uh shay, I'm sorry, I really don't see 101 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: a Parsons lining up on the line of scrimmage. I 102 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: see him staying at the linebacker position more so this game. 103 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: I truly believe that, especially if the Giants keep it 104 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: close to where the Cowboys don't really get in position 105 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: to where offense is taken off the imposing offense Giants, 106 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to pass the ball. So let's put 107 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Parstons on the defensive line. I don't really see the 108 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Giants looking at that as the optimum position to be in. 109 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try and keep the game close. 110 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna try and keep the ball out of our 111 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: offens's hand. So therefore they're gonna run the ball as 112 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: much as possible. And as they run that ball, that's 113 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: gonna be where the matchup begins. That's where you're gonna 114 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: see Parstons and Barcoley going at it. Two Penn State guys. 115 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: Right man, you can't. You can't. We talked about Alabama, 116 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: but this is something that's pretty cool. Two Penn State 117 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: guys going at it. And I'm talking about two of 118 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: the best to ever go through Penn State. And that's 119 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: saying a lot. All Right, I hate to bust your 120 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: bubbles here, but let's not forget Layton Vander As you're 121 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: playing man, he's gonna end up getting the Jalen Smith snaps. 122 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: So I bet Layton Vander gets about fifty snaps and 123 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: then and they're in nickel. In pass coverage, what you 124 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: put Kean O'Neil on Barkley and not Parsons Because that's 125 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: why I hate to bust your bubbles. Come oh man, 126 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: I would love to see them go one on one 127 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: every time, every play we know the matchup is coming. 128 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: When they come out of the huddle, I want both 129 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: of them eyes to be looking at each other and 130 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: in the run game. And in the run game, I'm 131 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: good with that. In pass coverage, I don't know if 132 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: I want Parsons in too much pass coverage. I would 133 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: go to appreciate your lack of our yea lack of 134 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: your confidence. Yes, that's right, that's right. We ain't here 135 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: doing you know the movie scripts, you know, but you 136 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: gotta love that the Nitney Lions matched up against Nitney. 137 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: A lion against a Nitney lion. And you know Parsons 138 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: needs to play a linebacker like another Nitney Lion. That 139 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: would be Sean Lee, you know, And when you think 140 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: about but really, seriously, you think about Shawn Lee against 141 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: division rivals. Okay, he always played so well against Philadelphia. 142 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: I remember games in particular where Shawn Lee he had 143 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy's number, where Lashaw McCoy could do nothing against 144 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys because Sean Lee was everywhere Leshaun McCoy went. 145 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: And so you know, when you study it always exactly 146 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: that's my points, exactly, you just have to anticipate where 147 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna be. When it came to Sean Lee studying, 148 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: he was in the backfield. He knew where they were going. 149 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: He knew where they were going. It's just a matter 150 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: of him getting past the interference, getting passive Lee blocker, 151 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: getting past the offensive line. And I remember against the Giants, 152 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: and I remember against the Giants there was one game 153 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: in particular, he was moving faster to where the ball 154 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: was going than the running back was for the Giants. 155 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: And it wasn't a coincidence that it was against these 156 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: division rivals. He knew there because he spent the entire 157 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: offseason studying what they do offensively too. And you know 158 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: who's been in Parsons ear by the way, Penn State, 159 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: Nitney Lyon. See there you go and to Marcus ware. 160 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: That's right, but that doesn't have a kind of state 161 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: that doesn't go with your storylines here like we got 162 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: we got movie scripts going on today. But you look 163 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: at the linebacker rotation and I think it really shows 164 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: why the move was made earlier this week. They've got 165 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: to get vander esh on the field more Antian O'Neill 166 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: coming back to in the Nickels situation. And you know, 167 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: and as Jerry Jones said today on his radio segment, 168 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: you know this was getting rid of Sean. I mean, 169 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: getting rid of Jalen Smith didn't improve the team. But 170 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: remember Mike McCarthy's big picture. They were thinking more down 171 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: the road, they were thinking next year. Uh and and 172 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: so you know it became more of a financial thing 173 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: in the future, not something right now. Yeah. Absolutely, And 174 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: when he balked at it, it was like, Okay, well 175 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: we can't, we can't deal with this. So um that's 176 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: what it came down to. And I see where the 177 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: Packers signed him to, uh, you know, a one year deal. 178 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: I think it was seven hundred and seventies and that's 179 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: that's all it needed to be minimum, right, And I 180 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: think he gets number nine too, So I guess nobody. 181 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: Maybe with the Packers head nine, I guess not. So 182 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: does that count for you know, when he was trying 183 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: to get his jerseys to number nine, they had to 184 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: pay I think change because of his former number was 185 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars down the drain. Yeah, that's probably 186 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: the biggest financial hit he's taken. That is the biggest. 187 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: That's the biggest hit I could come up with. And 188 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: also it's a tough deal when you have to go 189 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: from Dallas to freaking Wisconsin. Come on, guys, that's bad 190 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: enough right there in one day. Okay, So fill us 191 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: phill us in on how that works. As far as 192 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: Jayalen Smith's contract, how much money Jaylen Smith is seeing 193 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: he's still getting then point to which is the Cowboys, 194 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: and so the amount of money the Packers are paying, 195 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: it just comes off with the Cowboys one him uh 196 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: or he gets additional offset. He's double dipping. Okay, Yeah, 197 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: did you ever double he's hipped their walls? No, sir, 198 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: I've never had that opportunity. Sorry, when you're dealing with 199 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: small contracts like mine, we don't really have to worry 200 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: about it. So, in other words, this is the best 201 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: thing that could have happened for Jaylen Smith. He's got 202 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: an opportunity to double. He's making more money this way 203 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: than had he stayed a Dallas cowboy. Yeah, but I 204 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: bet he doesn't get a moving bonus. You don't know. Yeah, well, 205 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: I know you're right, I do not constant h it's 206 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: with spots. What do you got against Wisconsin other than 207 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: the winners? Hey man? Yeah, the winners? Yeah. Like, what 208 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: do you have against guns other than the bullets? Yeah, 209 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: that's the same thing. Chris Beam did point out that 210 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: he's not getting the nine point two million dollars he 211 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: would have made next year if he was on the 212 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: on the fifth day of the season. Do you think 213 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: anybody else but I'm from that nine point two million. 214 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: I'm thinking he wasn't get in that anyway. And so 215 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: whether he was released now or not, so thus the 216 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: restructure that they prefer, exactly, Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And now, 217 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: actually you also think about it from Jalen's perspective, if 218 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to get playing time here, then it 219 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: puts him in a pet marketing position to sign with 220 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: whoever it might be next year. By getting snaps with 221 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: the Packers and playing proving that he exactly right. So 222 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: because the thing here was kind of going downhill, right, 223 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: and so actually it's the best thing that could have 224 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: happened for Jalen Smith. So they did him a favor. 225 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: I love hearing myself back in my ear with ever 226 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: since delay. Yeah I would have sounded silly first time 227 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: and second time. Yeah, you're lucky, you're far away right, 228 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: all right. What Mickey wants to get into on today's 229 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: show is the anniversary of what happened in October eleventh 230 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: of last year as the New York Giants come into town. 231 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: And so, Mickey, you you teased it yesterday.

That's exactly where I was going 304 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: where you were in the exact same question, Everson, do 305 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: you think the schedule maker had it on his mind 306 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: when he put down Giants at Dallas the fifth week 307 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: of the season that it was the anniversary of when 308 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: the Giants came here last year and Dak got hurt. 309 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: If they did that is extremely cruel, it is, Okay, 310 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is. You shouldn't even 311 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: do that's it wasn't like it was something that you 312 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: want to celebrate. No, it's not something you want to 313 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: have anniversary to mark down. I mean when it comes 314 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: to revenge or something like that. Yes, when it comes 315 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: to payback, but you don't want to think of this, Oh, 316 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: this is the anniversary of that gruesome injury. You know, 317 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: take it on by Dak Prescott and then we're gonna 318 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: do a follow up on the young band that actually 319 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: made the tackle and see how he's doing these days. 320 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: How's your mental makeup? Sir? Oh, I'm still traumatized. You 321 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: know here there's a year later. I mean, you know, 322 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: come on, man, it's there's nothing to to really see something. 323 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: He's a producer on the team. By the way, he's 324 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: a producer still. It's what the guy still Yeah, yep, yep, 325 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: good player, starting safety. So make you what do you 326 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: want to say about it? Yeah? You know what, I 327 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't I agree with Everson. I don't 328 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: think this was happenstance. Although maybe they looked at it 329 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: as we're gonna celebrate the return right that. Uh they 330 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: were they were counting dog gone. Well, when they put 331 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: something on TV like that, they cannot wait. They're gonna 332 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: hope someone gets hurt again. No, yes, that's what happened. 333 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Not the same vein, not 334 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: the same vein. But I would call going back to 335 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: San Francisco when I was with the Giants, and they 336 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: could it was another championship game, so they couldn't wait, 337 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: Oh here we go, no championship game, So I give 338 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: up a pass to John Taylor, like, send me something 339 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: you touchdown in that game? You know, dog gone. They 340 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: had it cute to catch the bro I mean, they 341 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: couldn't wait to put that up there. So, yes, they 342 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: are cruel in that production booth. They are cruel, cruel people. Well, 343 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: I guess yeah, probably by May they probably would have 344 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: had Well, they probably didn't have a good indication when 345 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: the schedule came out that he was fully healthy and 346 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: ready to go, by the way at that time, because 347 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: he hadn't taken part in any of the Cowboys offseason 348 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: stuff really other than kind of throwing on the side. 349 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: So but yes, it uh, one day almost from the 350 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: exact day it happened. Uh is it three sixty four? 351 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Three three sixty five? And let me let me explain 352 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: how this works. Let me explain how this works. If 353 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: the first day of the year is January first, the 354 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: last day of the year is not January first, the 355 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: next year, right, it's December thirty first. So this happened 356 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: on the tenth three sixty five is the elect I 357 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: mean it happened on the eleven, So this is the tenth. 358 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: So this is three hundred and sixty five days later 359 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: of the day. It actually happened very good. Yes, I 360 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: just thought i'd bring some logics three user. But there's 361 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: three hundred sixty four days in between the two days, okay, 362 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: all right, which makes it three hundred and sixty four 363 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: days later. So anyway, if they were doing this, then 364 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: they probably also knew that since Dak's rookie year when 365 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: he lost twice to the Giants, including the his NFL 366 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: opener that year by one point maybe was it thirty 367 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: six thirty five or you got the book right there? Uh, 368 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: and then he lost the rematch. He has not lost 369 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: another game to the Giants that he started, seven straight 370 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: victories over the Giants, So maybe they were thinking, well, da, 371 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: this is this is a pushover for Dak. He always 372 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: beats the Giants. So twenty sixteen thirty six thirty five, 373 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: that's what I guessed. What is it twenty to nineteen? Oh, okay, close, 374 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: there was another game that was thirty six thirty five 375 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: somewhere along the line. So and then they lost to 376 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: the Giants at New York ten to seven in twenty sixteen, 377 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: So two losses that year by four points. Right there 378 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: you go, And then he's beating him seven straight times, Okay, 379 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: and we're giving him the victory the last game he 380 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: played because he started it, by the way. Yeah, so 381 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: it goes on his right, that's right. Even though Dalton finished, 382 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: the relief guy never gets a victory. Ye, So Dalton 383 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: doesn't get credit for that one. And you know what, 384 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: he's been pretty good. They don't have the stat like 385 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: that for relief pitchers. Yeah, and he's been pretty good 386 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: about it. You know. He I think after the game 387 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: this lat past Sunday didn't really want to talk about it, 388 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: but he talked about it extensively yesterday, Um talking about 389 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: you know, but but he but he kept making it 390 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: not to remember what happened, but to recall the work 391 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: he put an to get to this point where he 392 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: feels like his goal was not only to come back, 393 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: but to come back as a better player. And he 394 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: feels like he has done that. Um. You know, when 395 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: he got hurt last year, he had thrown nine touchdown passes. 396 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: I think it was four interceptions in those first five games. Uh. 397 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: This year it's ten touchdown passes in two interceptions in 398 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: four games. And so uh, as I pointed out yesterday, 399 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: his quarterback rating is one sixteen point three, I believe 400 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: uh and uh one sixteen nine he's fourth. So he 401 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: is playing at a very very high level. And I 402 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: think that's what he's most thankful for, the fact that 403 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: the work he put in is really really paid off. 404 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: I think the other thing that he pointed out and 405 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: everybody is like, well, have you have you put restrictions 406 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: on yourself running the football? And he says no. He said, 407 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: what I've done, though, is I'm smarter. I'll get the 408 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: yards that I need to get and then either get 409 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: out of bounds or get down, just trying to be 410 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: smart about things on how I finished the run instead 411 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: of trying to bull my way in there for a 412 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: next extra yard or two. So from that standpoint that 413 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: that's the only thing, and that's the only thing that 414 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys have done too. They haven't said no, we're not 415 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: going to let you run the ball anymore. And you 416 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: saw him called. I think it's very interesting how they 417 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: how the Cowboys and Day they have noted and especially 418 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: Dak he's noted how he used that opportunity. He used 419 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: that injury as an opportunity, and everyone always looks at 420 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: him kind of side side eyed in regards to why 421 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: he took that approach, and how could he take that approach? 422 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: You know, after he said after all the tears, after 423 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: he wiped away all the tears, and after he had 424 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: moment to himself, he always talked about the commitments he 425 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: was gonna make at that point. He committed to being 426 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: a better person the minute he dried his eyes. And 427 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: that's that's a huge compliment on his part. And you 428 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: talked about being smarter when he's trying to run the ball. 429 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: You know, when he first came into the league, he 430 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: was still thinking Mississippi State versus Alabama. You know how 431 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: he was running all over those guys and breaking tackles 432 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: and things of that nature, and that kind of wears 433 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: on you as a quarterback. He was huge then when 434 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: he came into the league. I think he's lost I'd say, what, 435 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: I'm twenty to twenty five pounds since he's coming to 436 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: the league. And it made him a little leaner, but 437 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: it took away his strength as well. But that's good 438 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: because it allowed him to have a better throwing motion 439 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: number one, And it also made him realize after the 440 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: injury as well, that there are times when you need 441 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: to be smart and just go down you know, don't 442 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: try to on that injury. He was definitely trying to 443 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: break a tackle on a guy who was much lighter 444 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: than he was, and so he thought he could break 445 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: that tackle. Now he's gonna think differently, and that's not 446 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: just good for himself, but it's good for his longevity, 447 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: which is good for the Dallas Cowboy. Yeah. And if 448 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: you remember, he gained on the play like seven or 449 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: eight yards. You know, six was good. Seven was good. 450 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: He didn't need to get to the first down, but 451 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: in his mind, he was going for the first down marker. 452 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: And then he talked about, you know, what he was doing, 453 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: and he said he looks back at it and he goes, 454 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: it's not funny, but it was like, what in the 455 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: world was I doing? Trying to straighten out my own 456 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: foot right? Uh and and and you know, and the 457 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: other thing and then the other thing. I think that's 458 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: happened with his comeback, especially in the offseason when he 459 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: was here every day working. I think it ended up 460 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 1: being an inspiration to this team, to the other teammates 461 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: to see him working that hard. Uh Lele Collins talked 462 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: about it, how you know, he was kind of on 463 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: the same schedule. Dec was rehabbing from his hip surgery 464 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: and he and he said, yeah, when I saw him 465 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: running like that, you know, it motivated me to try 466 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: to keep up with him, to see him what he 467 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: went through to work that hard that I had to 468 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: do the same thing. And now the guys have said 469 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: the same thing, how it's inspired them to play harder. 470 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: And you know what, when you're the leader, that's part 471 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: of your job, you know. And that's part of the 472 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: contract too. The contracts not all about uh numbers and 473 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: all about wins. It's it's about are you the team leader? 474 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: And Jerry Jones told the story again this morning about 475 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: when they were looking at Dak Prescott and wondering, you know, 476 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: what kind of what kind of quarterback do you want? 477 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: He said he talked to Roger stotterback and he said, 478 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: do I want a guy that can get out of 479 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: the pocket and make plays with his feet? Or do 480 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: I want a guy that's going to stand there and 481 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: be able to throw the ball? And he said, Roger said, 482 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not qualified on the running 483 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: part or the throwing part. But all I can tell 484 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: you is make sure whoever you pick to be your quarterback. 485 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: The guys on the team will follow, and I think 486 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: that's what they ended up with, no doubt about that. Yeah, 487 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to ask Roger start back, do 488 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: you pass or you run? This is Roger the Dodger 489 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about. I was surprised, he said, yeah, out 490 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: of the pocket with your feet. Yes, that's the one 491 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: you are one of the note on Dak what you 492 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: mentioned about losing weight. I remember talking. I can't remember 493 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: what year this was, uh, three or four years ago, 494 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: might have been after his first year, and he talked 495 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: about the fact that he's he's always had to watch 496 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: his weight and um, I can't remember his first year 497 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: or his second year. He said between the end of 498 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: the season in February first he put on like twenty 499 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: pounds and because he because he wasn't working, and so 500 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: now he so he learned that about his body. You know, 501 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: you're talking about going back to his college days where 502 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: he's a heavier or whatever. He's learned that he it's 503 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: a year round thing for him to stay in shape 504 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: because it's you don't want to end the season and 505 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: then and then let it go for a month because 506 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: you have to work that much harder to lose the 507 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: weight and so forth. So that's something that he's learned 508 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: as he has come, you know, started his NFL career. 509 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, And Everson probably can vouch for this. 510 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: And in the offseason, don't go back to Louisiana, right, Oh, 511 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: nothing but cards waiting Onia state lives. They don't think. 512 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: I don't think there's greenery anywhere in the state. No 513 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: refridge can be found.

Game ticket required. All right, 563 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: third straight home game for the Cowboys taking on a 564 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: New York Giants team that comes in at one and three. 565 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: So who will the Giants be missing on Sunday? Well, 566 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: we've got their injury report, and as Mickey mentioned earlier, 567 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboy injury report will not change from yesterday because 568 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: the team is not having a full workout today. All right, 569 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: So here we go out for the Giants. Wide receiver 570 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, wide receiver Sterling Shepherd, and safety Jibril Peppers 571 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: all ruled out and also backup offensive lineman Ben brit Uson. 572 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,959 Speaker 1: So no Shepherd and no Slayton for the second straight 573 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: week for the Giants. So the Cowboys really their only 574 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: decisions now, are you know? Who? They might eli eight 575 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: off the practice squad? Uh to the fifty or forty 576 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: They can have forty eight forty eight man roster um 577 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: and they only they're they're only have fifty two of 578 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: the fifty three spots on their fifty three man roster, 579 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: So if they elevate two guys, then they only have 580 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: to cut five players instead of seven. I think is 581 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 1: that right? Or my math right, they got fifty two 582 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: and they got to get to forty six. I guess 583 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: that's that's six guys. Yeah, they have to be inactive. 584 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they have to cut anybody. No, no, no, no, 585 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: I man cut them from the game day roster. Yeah, okay. 586 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: Oh would you like to shed any light on what's 587 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: going on with Lyle Collins? Oh? I got a headache 588 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: on that. Uh, here's what I here's what I you 589 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: know it that the appeals being my understanding it right 590 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: now here, I'll just say this followed Daniel Walack. Yes, yes, 591 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: at Walack Legal, he is tweeting about it right now. 592 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: I can tell you this much. The NFL's because the 593 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: hearing's going on right now in Sherman. The NFL's opposition 594 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: brief is now unsealed. He's got the details on it 595 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: all right there. And so just go look at at 596 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: Walock Legal on Twitter and you can learn all you 597 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: need to know about what's going on with Did you 598 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: read what I sent you? I did clear things up 599 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: or give you a bigger headache, bigger headache? Yeah? Yeah, 600 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: see the argument. I have a question, Okay, go ahead. 601 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: Did he bribe anybody? Or is that on the table. 602 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: Is that what we're talking about here? Are we strictly 603 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: narrowing it down to the test procedure, missing the test 604 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: procedure or whatever? Yeah, And it's it's all very vague 605 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: right on in this bribery thing. I mean, what did 606 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: he do not show up for a test and then 607 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: called the guy and say hey, for a thousand bucks 608 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: right down that I took a test? Well, whereas the 609 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: results it didn't work, It didn't. Yeah, And I don't 610 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. And I think I read somewhere where 611 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: his contention was it was a joke or something. I 612 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: guess whoever. But here's here's here's where the argument is. 613 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: The when when the NFL presented their case to the arbitrator, 614 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: they basically said he got five games because he had 615 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: already been suspended four games, and the arbitrator took that 616 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,879 Speaker 1: as this is a second offense, meaning the second suspension, 617 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: when he was never suspended four games. He's never missed 618 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: four games for a suspension, And so I think there 619 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: was some confusion there by the arbitrator on what that meant. 620 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: And so this is what they're trying to argue here. Um, 621 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, and initially it was two games he could 622 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: have taken it, and then when he didn't, they he said, okay, 623 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: well the arbitrator is gonna have five. But this appeal 624 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: has been going on. It's been an ongoing thing, you know. 625 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: And one of the things, and I still contend this 626 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: with the NFL, they leak stuff to make them sound better. 627 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: I know, Everson, you probably have a hard time believing that. 628 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: But oh yeah, and no way. I mean, if you 629 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: think about it, when all this testing began and the 630 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: policy began, it was all it was all supposed to 631 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: be top secret, right. The team wouldn't know anything until 632 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: the suspension came down. Nothing comes out of the league office, 633 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden things would leak out of 634 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: the league office about people's suspension. So it'll be interesting 635 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: because the judge that's hearing it was the judge that 636 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,240 Speaker 1: sided in the favor of Ezekiel Elliott nineteen twenty seventeen 637 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: on his UH suspension that got overturned when it went 638 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: to New York. Okay, time to make our picks. We 639 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: got sick minutes left in the show. All right, did 640 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: we did we clear all that up? We cleared it up. 641 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: You go follow go follow Daniel Wallace on Twitter. Cleanse. 642 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: The bottom line is, even if there's a favorable ruling 643 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: for Lyle Collins today, what are the chances that he 644 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: would play on Sunday. Yeah, Mike McCarthy sounded pretty doubtful 645 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: that he would be able to play, although he's been 646 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: able to get back in the building this week, so 647 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: he's been able to they can see what kind of 648 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: condition he's in, but without having any reps. Even Jerry 649 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: pointed it out. You know you need those reps, so 650 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: I would think so as his spot. Why they have 651 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 1: fifty two on the fifty three run? No, no, because 652 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: he didn't count, right, But if he comes back then 653 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: they don't have to cut anybody. But that's what I 654 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: mean that that they left that vacant they had well yeah, 655 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if they did it on purpose or 656 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: that just they didn't want to bring anybody else because 657 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: you can still bring guys up up practice squad, and 658 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: this week they brought up Um defensive tackle Hamilton, right, 659 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: and they also from a COVID bring up I think 660 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: Ralston was was that so sprinkle and sprinkle thank you 661 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: Chris Um? So uh yeah, um, where were we going before? 662 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: Hickson's ready, He's ready. No, you had asked me if 663 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,439 Speaker 1: he would play. It sounded more like he would play 664 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: next week, if everything was new England next week. And 665 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: and the fact that but from as I pointed out yesterday, 666 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: from his side of the story, he's trying to get 667 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: two game checks back, and instead of losing five, he 668 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: loses three. Okay, Everson, tell me about this game. First off, 669 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: do you get more excited when the Cowboys play the 670 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: Giants because you played for both teams? No? I do not. Okay, 671 00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: I have no affiliation towards the Giants anymore. I tell 672 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: people all the time. I love the Giants in nineteen 673 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: ninety one. Okay, nineteen ninety I don't like the Giants now, 674 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: and I never did even before that. So let's just 675 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: put that in a bubble throw without and let's deal 676 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys right now. Let's bury that, all right. 677 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I brought it up. Yeah, they killed me 678 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: with that. I'm not a Giants fan at all. So 679 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 1: here's what I'm looking at. For some reason, when I 680 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: see this pick, the click, I'm thinking Clint Eastwood, you know, 681 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: you know the music. Everybody looking at each other you 682 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You're coming out of hullo. So 683 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 1: you know where I'm going with this. Guys, it's gonna 684 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 1: be Michael Parsons. Parsons is gonna be the guy he's 685 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: gonna make. I mean, he's already made a serious impact 686 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: in every game, but he's gonna make this when at 687 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: the linebacker position. He's gonna be working with Bandaresh. They're 688 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: gonna be making plays in the middle the way we 689 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:01,439 Speaker 1: all wanted j Jalen Smith to do. We're gonna see 690 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 1: how it's gonna be done correctly. He is my player 691 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: pick to click. I'm looking at the score being thirty 692 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: one to twenty one, Cowboys winning handily. I think the 693 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: Giants might score last minute touchdown just to try to 694 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: keep a respectable score, but thirty one twenty one is 695 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: going to be the outcome. Thirty one twenty one. All right, Mickey, 696 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: what are you thinking? Oh? And Jason Garrett too, don't 697 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: don't forget Jason Garrett too. I gotta put him in 698 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: there too, just just for the fact that he's coming 699 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 1: back home. You know, I don't know his game player 700 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: won't work, okay, so he will be the pick to pick, 701 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: not to click or okay, not to click. There you go. 702 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: Well you got him scoring twenty one point. They did 703 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 1: something right, Yeah? Really fourteen? The twenty one is just 704 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, oh it's a blowoff touchdown at the end. Yeah, 705 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: it's a blowoff touchdown. Yeah, all right. Since the Cowboys 706 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: have been averaging thirty one and a half points a game, 707 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,439 Speaker 1: I have complete trust in this offense that they will 708 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:11,240 Speaker 1: continue at this pace. I still have some concerns about 709 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: the defense, especially the big plays they continue to give 710 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: up at an alarming rate. But I think with this, 711 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, somewhat, this offense controls what the other team 712 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: tries to do offensively because they know they got a score, 713 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: and I think they take chances maybe that they wouldn't 714 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: take if they were playing a team that was averaging 715 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: twenty one points a game. So, having said that, I 716 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 1: will take the Cowboys thirty two to twenty thirty two 717 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: thirty two one one. You had thirty one twenty one, 718 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: Now you just change now I had thirty two. Don't 719 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: want to be a copycat thirty two thirty two. How 720 00:43:52,840 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: see it says thirty two thirty two. I'm looking back though, Well, okay, 721 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: how many times have the Cowboys scored thirty two? Tell 722 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: me this and there? How did they sixty one year history? 723 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 1: How did they score thirty six last week? How did 724 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 1: they end up with thirty six? That's a little bit 725 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: easier thirty two. For all it takes is going for 726 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 1: two a couple of times. Now, this time, when they 727 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 1: funneled the ball in the end zone, they're gonna recover 728 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: it for a safety there you okay, would be a touchback. 729 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: So I mean no, the Cowboys are gonna okay, it's safety. 730 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: Where the other team or the other team, No, when 731 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 1: I got you, I got you, I got you. We're 732 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 1: trying to make jokes. Listen, So thirty two to twenty 733 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 1: thirty two, twenty thirty two to twenty and your pick 734 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:57,479 Speaker 1: to click was he is is ceedee lamb Okay. Gonna 735 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 1: be a breakout game for the Cowboy wide rece okay, 736 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: because they're going to be concerned with the Mary Cooper, 737 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,439 Speaker 1: they're going to be concerned with Ezekoe Elliott, and they're 738 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 1: gonna show their versatility once again. All Right, I'm gonna 739 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:17,760 Speaker 1: go with the Cowboys winning. Um, let's see the Giants 740 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: come in at one and three, the Cowboys at three 741 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: and one, thirty one thirteen Cowboys win thirteen because the 742 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys are three and one coming in and the thirteen 743 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 1: And who's the focus going to be on Sunday Dak Prescott. 744 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is your pick to click because the focus 745 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: is going to be on Dak And how many three 746 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: hundred yard games has he had here lately? Three lately? 747 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 1: Like yeah, I mean, because it's been the run game 748 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: here the less, just the opener, the opener, and so 749 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: Dak is going off in this game, Okay, and actually, 750 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 1: serious league, I think it's gonna be harder to run 751 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 1: against this Giant's front than what it was last week, 752 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: even though Carolina came in with the quote unquote number 753 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: one run defense in the league. Uh, they're pretty stout 754 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 1: up front, and so it's going to be a harder 755 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: challenge running the ball against the Giants. And so the 756 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,320 Speaker 1: Dak's gonna throw the ball for a whole bunch of 757 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 1: yards and to prove Dak is back. Yes, that's right, guys, 758 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: we got I got one more thing. Okay, we have 759 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: to time in on this. Does Digs get his interception? 760 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's a cool does digs get another look, 761 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: Somebody tell me, what do you think? Guys, we gotta 762 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: put that in. As long as he's getting it, we 763 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: gotta put it in. Five games, he'll he'll tie. You 764 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: think was his first name? Don Don Bishop got dive 765 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: in the first five games? And is that what it was? Okay? 766 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: All right, all right? And then for sure he is? 767 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: Is he aware of this? Yeah, you're saying, you're saying yes, 768 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: you're saying, yes he is? Yes? Is what digs? Word?

I don't think they'd be stupid enough 771 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 1: to throw his way. Okay, he got the wide receivers? Hurt, 772 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: h they really come. You know, he's gonna be playing 773 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: against a few backups. I'm sure they'll have him travel 774 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 1: with whoever they think the best receiver is at this point, Well, 775 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 1: it'll be gallic. They're just gonna take their lead receiver 776 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 1: out of the game. No, we're gonna take their leading receiver. 777 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: Oh okay, there you go. All right, there you go.
