Who 38 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: are they supposed to play? Iowa? They could play, You 39 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: can't beat Iowa having those bags.

Yeah, he's with the Raiders. 60 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: But what's the greatest play Kyle Wilbur made in his 61 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys career, Noyle, you got me there that Thursday night 62 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: game in Minnesota when he recovered the fumble on the 63 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: muff punt a couple of few years ago. Anyway, Oh yeah, 64 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: let's let's move on. I think Bill is related to him, 65 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: That's what it is. Let's move on to current day 66 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys because the Cowboys is not only Mickey Spagnola who 67 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: is at work at the in the s WBC Mortgage 68 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: studios inside Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, but 69 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are back to work at Forde Center at 70 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco, right, Mickey. And aren't they glad 71 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: they've got the Ford Center because it's been pouring here 72 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: all morning long. So they again had the ability to 73 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: practice indoors on Wednesday. Uh, they were in shells, had 74 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: the music blaring because this is going to be away 75 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: game with no fans. But maybe they were trying nicky. 76 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: How do you know this because I thought when they're 77 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: indoors that no reporters could be inside Ford Center to 78 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: witness practice. Or were you able to be only the 79 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: two special reporters myself and Rob Philip. This is Jerry's boy, Bill, 80 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Jerry's boy. Come on man, cree pandemic. Come on man. 81 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: They were sharing ice cream together and whatever they were 82 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: talking about me. Come on man, this is a this 83 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: is a company kept man right here with talking about 84 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: on this. Yeah. I wish, I wish all that was true. 85 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: We were the pool reporters and we had to brave 86 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: the outdoor elements to get into the Ford Center to 87 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: be able to give you a sanitized report on what 88 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: happened in practice. And that sanitize I must say before 89 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: you continue, SPADs, if they're going to try, and you know, 90 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: simulate noise, then why not simulate bad weather as well, 91 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: because they're going to be outdoors. Correct, they may be 92 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: outdoors tomorrow. They may be outdoors tomorrow. They've been practicing 93 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: indoors on Wednesday, uh for the last month or so 94 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: so uh And I don't know if that was to 95 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: keep the other media away or what, or they just 96 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: didn't want to let them into the facility after the 97 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: NFL cracked down on the COVID nineteen protocols. Uh. So, anyway, 98 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: I can tell you, I gotta ask you go ahead. 99 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: Do you think Tom Landry would would allow us to 100 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: be indoors before this game? You had, you had no choice, 101 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: You had no facility, wells looas Fieldhouse, remember Undhouse. That's right, 102 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: that's why was your indoor facility. You actually would. It 103 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: is just an alternative spot. When the field is so 104 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: wet and the grass was so soggy, we would go 105 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: to Lows and practice on our turf still outdoors, outdoors, 106 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: but it was only because it was better footing on 107 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: their turf as opposed to the natural grass that we 108 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: had when Tom Langer was there. Yeah, there's no sense 109 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: messing up field House too. There's no sense miss messing 110 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: up practice just because the weather's bad. You know, if 111 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: you have an alternative, you gotta get reps right. So, 112 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: having seen the team stretch warm up drills, I can 113 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: tell you that Layton vander Esh was not practicing. Donovan Wilson, 114 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: who made it back for the game, was not practicing. Uh, 115 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: neither was Darian Thompson who's in concussion protocol. And Ezekiel 116 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: Elliott came out out probably did whatever he does before 117 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: practice on his own and then came out and got 118 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: on the resistance chords. I would imagine he was going 119 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: to be limited, and they did designate Zach Martin on 120 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: reserve injured return, but he wasn't going to do anything 121 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: more than rehab work. It looked like maybe work on 122 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: the continue working on the resistance chords. So that's your 123 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: guys who were and were not available for practice today. 124 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: Did you see Xavier Woods? You mentioned Woods? I did not, 125 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: and Xavier Woods was out there taking part in everything 126 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: we saw that we were allowed to see, and it 127 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: looked like he intended to practice. He had a helmet 128 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,599 Speaker 1: with him, so it looked like he was going to 129 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: do something. Mike McCarthy said he probably would be limited, 130 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: but felt like he would move into practice a little 131 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: bit more after they see what he was able to 132 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: do with that rib injury. We're based on the limited 133 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: information that you know, spags. Are those situations apt to change? What? 134 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: Does Layton have a chance to play? Uh? Does does 135 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: Thompson have a chance to come out of the the concussion protocol? Uh? 136 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: If this is not the final, say so right? I mean, 137 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: does Zach Martins have a chance now? He he does not. 138 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: Jerry mentioned it on his radio segment yesterday that maybe 139 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: for the future, but probably not this week. I think 140 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: Layton's done. Um, I mean, he's not gonna play. He's 141 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: got a high ankle spring. Those things are usually three 142 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: to four weeks, so I don't know if he would 143 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: even make it if they ended up qualifying for the playoffs. 144 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: I would say no on Darien for the NFC Championship. Ye, yes, 145 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: yes he would. Bill I met the first the first 146 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: playoff game, right and Day and Thompson in in concussion protocol. 147 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: I think that one's going to be if he makes 148 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: it back or not. Usually you end up missing a week. 149 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: So that's kind of the Cowboys' injury port at this point. 150 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: I'm listening to those safeties and with Donovan Wilson if 151 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: he aggravated his growing I mean things if if, if 152 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: Woods isn't able to make it back and Thompson not 153 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: out of concussion protocol, they're starting to get thin at safety. Yes, 154 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: as they did in the game. Now, from what I 155 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: saw Woods doing in the portion we get to watch, 156 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: I would say seventy five percent chance he plays. He 157 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: looked like he was moving pretty well. But you're right 158 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: on Thompson and Donovan Wilson and even if those two 159 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: are ready to go, they may have to get Jordan 160 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: Lewis actual some snaps at safety, which he moved there, 161 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: and Mike Nolan pointed out that he really didn't get 162 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: any snaps in practice that week, and he basically, you know, 163 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: when they got to Saturday or whatever and they talked 164 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: about it, he said that Jordan Luce said, just put 165 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: me out there and tell me what the what the 166 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: calls are, I'm good to go. And you know, he 167 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: had the one play that he I think he ended 168 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: up getting called for interference on, but other than that, 169 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, he got got a few snaps back there, 170 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes. The previous week made 171 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: some I thought he made a big leap in the 172 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: playmaking ability, made some big plays in the previous game. 173 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: I think he's been a big part of this third 174 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: down resurgence by the Cowboys. Uh, Like I said, maybe 175 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: not this past week, but the week prior to that. 176 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: So he's uh, you know, how there is sometimes things 177 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: clicked for guys, Just like with Anthony Brown, he and 178 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: Jordan at one point seemed to really understand from that 179 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: slot position just how important it is for you to 180 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: make plays instead of just being just another another stick 181 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: man out there. They weren't looking, they weren't reacting, they 182 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: were anticipating. And that's what I loved about what Anthony did. 183 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: And I've been seeing that from Jordan Lewis as well, 184 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: so Donovan Wilson the growing right. He's trying to come 185 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: back from that in the week. I tried that once 186 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: played against the Giants the previous week. O J. Anderson 187 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: lifted me up on his elbow and brought me down 188 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: on my one leg and it shook something. I still 189 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: have a knot down there. It's never going away. So 190 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: I had never missed a game or play actually, and 191 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: so here there's my chance to I didn't want to 192 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: miss a game. So they were trying to get me 193 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: to go against Minnesota the next week. It was it 194 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: was no go. I couldn't do anything. They wrapped me. 195 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: First of all, I lost feeling in the leg because 196 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: they wrapped it so tight, so that I wasn't doing 197 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: well anywhere. I couldn't even feel it. I got out 198 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: there and tried to play a couple of times. Anthony 199 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: car There ran by me so fast. I'm like, look, 200 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm not doing my team any good. So I have. 201 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: Out of my few injuries I've had, the growing was 202 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: one of them. And yeah, I'm not looking for Wilson 203 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: to come back. They didn't just put a little Ben 204 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: Gay on it, and so they get out there big boy. Yeah. 205 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: Back in the day, that was kind of the stablish quo. Right, Yeah, absolutely, Hey, Everson, 206 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: I'd love to get your take on Trayvon Diggs. You know, 207 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: he makes that interception the other day and I immediately 208 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: thought of Everson. Uh, you know, he just has that 209 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: natural playmaking ability, the hands, the the instincts, wide receiver 210 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: type instincts, whatever, that's exactly what this secondary needs. They did, 211 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: and you know, I like I like the fact that 212 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: to me, all interceptions are good interceptions. You could say 213 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: it was a blowout at the time or whatever. He 214 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: needed that interception, and after coming back and kind of 215 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: giving up some plays. Uh, it's been a tough year 216 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: for him. I know about those tough years. I was 217 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: blessed enough. You know, I got beat as much as 218 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: as as as Diggs did this year. I got beat 219 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: in that nineteen eighty one, my rookie year. I was 220 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: just able to come back and counter that with interceptions. 221 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: Now he hadn't gotten nearly as many as I have. 222 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: But when you get that one or two or what 223 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: they say, have three on the years, three, that's not 224 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: that's like, that is not bad for a guy that 225 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: came in he's missed some games, and to have three interceptions, 226 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: that is not bad for a rookie to come in 227 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: highly touted. And let's be let's be clear, if he 228 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: gets another one in this game, we're going to be 229 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: saying that this is a successful rookie campaign for Diggs 230 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: and he'll have a couple more playoff games too, right 231 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: that those count? Of course? Yeah, yeah, all the way 232 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: to the ye. You got a couple of your rookie 233 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs, didn't you? I did, I got 234 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: I got a couple in San Francisco. I did? I did? 235 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: I have two interceptions and the fumble recovery, by the way, 236 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: So let's not forget that while we think of that 237 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: game in other in other ways, Well, you get some 238 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: skittles for all that. Thank you, Thank you. We could 239 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: we could name an MVP award after skittles. How about that, 240 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: the Skittles MVP Award. How how much do you think 241 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs and CD Lamb for that matter, two rookies 242 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: top draft picks, your first and second round draft picks. 243 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: How much do you think they have grown as players 244 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: even since the start of the regular season. I think 245 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: it's so much, especially involving this season. You know, these 246 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: guys are gonna come into twenty twenty one more more seeded. 247 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: You know they're they're gonna have more experienced mentally, they have. 248 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: They have gone through so much more than any other 249 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: rookies have gone through this rookie class of twenty twenty 250 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: over the entire NFL, and especially being with the Dallas Cowboys, 251 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: with the ups and downs that we've had. If you're 252 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: looking at Cedee Lamb, I'm if I'm Cede Lamb, I'm 253 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: looking at myself saying, you know what, I made some 254 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: mistakes this season, as a rookie should. But when you 255 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: look at all the quarterbacks that I've had thrown me 256 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: the ball and you look at my final numbers, those 257 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: some great numbers. Those some great numbers. Just like I 258 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: talked about with Digs. You know, he was injured for 259 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: most of a lot of the season, came back, got 260 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: the interception. Season's not over. He could get more he'll 261 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: have one of the better rookie campaigns even at this 262 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: point than any dB we've had in recent history with 263 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cotton Bowl as Oklahoma and Florida tonight, 311 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: and then the grand daddy of them all on Friday 312 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: afternoon at AT and T Stadium, it's the Rose Bowl 313 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: Game top ranked alub Mamma at number four Notre Dame 314 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: in a national semi final. You know, Mickey, and ever 315 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: since they announced they're going to have a little less 316 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: than eighteen thousand fans at the college games this week, 317 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: how do you think it's gone, Mickey? This year? With 318 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: fans in the stands at Cowboys games where there's been 319 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: as many as thirty thousand there. Yeah, you know, and 320 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: the way, as big as that stadium is, thirty thousand 321 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: is kind of less than a third capacity. The people 322 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: are spaced out so much. I mean, when you're sitting 323 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: there and we're pretty high in the press box, it 324 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: doesn't look like there's thirty thousand people in the stadium 325 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: now where you see kind of get a feel for 326 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: it if you get there. You know, normally I get 327 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: there two hours two and a half hours before kickoff. 328 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: But if you get there about an hour or before kickoff, 329 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: there's you know, a lot of people walking around outside. 330 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: But other than that, you know, it seems like it's 331 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: gone seamlessly. Now Here's the thing though, for tonight, for 332 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: the college game. You know, the Cowboys when they've played 333 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: those day games, or even if it's been a night game, 334 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: the doors are open and the roof's open. But when 335 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: it's raining, I don't think you can get the airflow 336 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: that Jerry was talking about unless they want to get 337 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: rain coming in. I guess you could leave the doors open, 338 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: but the roof would have to be closed, and that 339 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: hasn't happened in a game yet. That's right. It's interesting. Um, 340 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: and I don't even think they ever would have envisioned, 341 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: even when they built the stadium that they would have 342 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: the roof open for a game in which it was 343 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: raining outside. Yeah, let's open it up and just have 344 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: to kind of like old times. Yeah, it's probably not 345 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: better be wet and get COVID, be gevid. Yeah, but 346 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think it's probably good for 347 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: the video board to get rain on. Hey guys, I 348 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: had a I had I have a problem here in 349 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: regards to how things stack up this weekend. Uh. You know, 350 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: we were all talking about what the Cowboys have to 351 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: do right to stay in and that's all finally good. 352 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: We feel like we're gonna handle our business in New Jersey. 353 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: But what do you think Philadelphia is gonna do with 354 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: the Redskins? Do they hate the Redskins more than they 355 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: hate the Cowboys? Okay? Are they gonna lay down and 356 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: allow this team to go into to win the game 357 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: and go into the playoffs? Is little is little Jim 358 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: Schwartz right? Is he gonna be stubborn as always and 359 00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 1: refuse to lay down as maybe some Philadelphia fans might 360 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: want him to I think it's a very interesting notion. 361 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: Someone brought up to me that Philly just might take 362 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,239 Speaker 1: this game to spite us. What do you guys think. Well, now, 363 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: Jim Schortz, what he is telling the media is that 364 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: is that we're gonna call us. We need to make 365 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: this a no cap day, that Washington doesn't come into 366 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: our place and put division champion caps on in our stadium. 367 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: So that's the motivation that he's using for his players 368 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: right now. Do you believe him? Oh? Yeah, him, absolutely, Yeah, Jim. 369 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: Jim hates to lose. What guys recall when he got 370 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: mad at Jim harballf of not shaking his hand properly 371 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: when both of them were head coaches in the NFL, 372 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: and he chased him down as as Hallball was going 373 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: into the locker room and he confronted him about that. 374 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: Overenthusias asked the handshake at the end of the game. 375 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: So that's the gym SS I want to see on Sunday. 376 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to see a nice GYMSS. I want 377 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: the guy that refuses to let I think that. Yeah, 378 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: I think that's the guy you'll get. He wouldn't step 379 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: aside to let his grandmother cross the street. That's right, 380 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: you know. I think the other factor on it. I 381 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: think the other factor on it, Everson, is that I 382 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: like the fact that Jalen Hurts is starting for Philadelphia 383 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: and that there's still some question mark going forward on Okay, 384 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: who's going to be their starting quarterback going forward. I 385 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: think that they want Jalen Hurts. Teammates really like him, 386 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: and they would love to cement. I mean, it appears 387 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: that Hurts might be the guy going forward, and they 388 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: would love for him to have a fourth start that 389 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: is strong, to finish the season on to help seem 390 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: in his status going forward. So I like that aspect 391 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: of it from an eagle standpoint as far as their 392 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: motivation to do well in this game. Now, Bill, what 393 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: did you see coming out of Washington? And then that's 394 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: the other thing on the Washington side is Taylor Heineke 395 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: took the first team reps in practice today. Ron Rivera 396 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: just had his press conference here within the last half 397 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: hour or so, and they're just they're not quite there yet. 398 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: On reading it now, Alex Smith says he felt good 399 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: out there today. Not practicing was part of the plan, 400 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: but they want to make sure that Alex Smith is ready, 401 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: and so I mean someone's got to take the first 402 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: team reps. If Alex Smith isn't, then Taylor Heineck's going 403 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: to for them. So I don't think you read that 404 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: much into it, but that's what's making the rounds on 405 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: Twitter right now that oh lord, Taylor Heineck is taking 406 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: the first team reps in practice. But I think they 407 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: just want to make sure that Alex Smith is ready 408 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: to go. I fully expect Smith to be the starter 409 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday night. Who took I think regardless of who starts, 410 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: Uh Schwartz is gonna bring the heat. He's bringing the 411 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: house probably on every passing play that he thinks is 412 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: gonna be predictable. And no matter which, whether it's Alex 413 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: Smith trying to stay on that one leg or whether 414 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: it's a Heineke Heineken, Heineken Heineken, Yeah, no, I know 415 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: his name. I'm just messing with no. But as far 416 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: as Heineke, young young quarterback, still gonna bring the heat. 417 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: So they have nothing to lose in Philly, So I 418 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be one of those. Defensively, I think 419 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun game for Philly potentially. You know, 420 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys realize this, but and 421 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: I know this is only in regards to yards, but 422 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: Washington's offense ranks thirtieth in the league. They're twenty sixth 423 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: against the run and twenty sixth against the pass. So 424 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean for twenty six running the ball in twenty 425 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: six thrown. Yeah, yeah, so you know they haven't lit 426 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: it up offensively. They've lived off that defense and that 427 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: defensive front so far to you know, jump that record 428 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: to six and nine. And if you if you're a 429 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: quarterback like Alex Smith, you know you're gonna manage the 430 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: game accordingly. Let that defense win the game for you, 431 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: at least, don't blow it for the defense. So if 432 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: Alex is out there, he compliments that defense very well. 433 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: I don't know about what Heinnick is gonna do, but 434 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: Alex Smith has shown that he can compliment this defense performance. 435 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: He had a better performance in what the one quarter 436 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: he played than Haskins did last week. Yeah they did well, 437 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah that's Haskins, that's Haskins. I'm I think if they 438 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: have to, you know, they're gonna go with Alex Smith. 439 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: And like I said, I mean not just now. If 440 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: they win the game, then that's what you're going to 441 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: see in the playoff as well. Yeah, and you saw 442 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: that no one claimed him, and they probably weren't going 443 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: to claim him on waivers anyway because he had some 444 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: guarantees in his contract for next year. But yeah, he 445 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: didn't get claimed. So you know, I've always said when 446 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: you get cut like that, if you get cut for 447 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, not playing well, somebody might give you a chance. 448 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: But if you get cut for not being prepared, boy, 449 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: you better watch out. You remember, all people the Texans 450 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: are looking at him, and you know, you see what's 451 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: happening with DeShawn Watson. So I think he's being punished 452 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: by actually being touted by the Texas. They traded away 453 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: the whole team because Everson. You remember, and I can't 454 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: remember if it was. I think it was the eighty 455 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: sixth season, the last game, uh they started, Uh, the 456 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: quarterback from Southern Mississippi, umgee, and he was not prepared. 457 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: Every ever played and I saw him play at Southern 458 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: Mississippi and yeah, he was good, but he wasn't prepared 459 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: to play that game. You know, it's one thing to 460 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: be bad, but he wasn't prepared, and Tom finally yanked 461 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: him out of the game, if you remember, and that 462 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: was the end of his NFL career, if I remember correctly, well, 463 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: if I would call, I thought Tom started him against 464 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, didn't it. Yes, it was. I thought 465 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: it was the final game of the season. No, it 466 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: wasn't the final game, but it was his final game, 467 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, Tom, you know, let's be real. Now, Tom 468 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: Landry greatest coach in history. But Tom, when you have 469 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: guys like Tom Landry with the kind of power that 470 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: they have, Tom Landry, put Reggie call, You're in to 471 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: prove a point. Let's be real, You're never gonna be 472 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: prepared for the nineteen eighty five, eighty six Chicago Bears. 473 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: That is not going to happen. So putting Reggie call 474 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: in the game, it tried. Tom Langie was letting us know, 475 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: you can have a quarterback controversy all you want, but 476 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: there's no quarterback controversy here. And I'm gonna show you why. 477 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: So he threw Reggie to the dogs. Man, he threw him. No, 478 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: he threw them to the Lions, not Bears. He threw 479 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: them to the Lions. And there was a tough, tough 480 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: sledding for that game, whichever one he played in. So 481 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: it was the eighties. It was the last sixth season, right, 482 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: eighty six, all right? The last game of the eighty 483 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: sixth season was against the Bears, and I'm looking through 484 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: it here. Collier was four out of nine for forty 485 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: four yards and two interceptions. Steve Pelour was fourteen out 486 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: of twenty eight, four hundred and seventy five, a pick 487 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. It doesn't designate here unless I get 488 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: it to the play by the final score. The final 489 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: score was twenty four to ten in favor of the 490 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. The year before it was forty four nothing. 491 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: And I think we had God, I think we must 492 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: have gone through three quarterbacks in nineteen eighty five. And 493 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: I think Carlier probably started that game, because Carlier definitely started. 494 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: He started, Lord came definitely started. Yeah, yeah, two picks. 495 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: He wasn't ready, he didn't know the plays. I just remember. 496 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: So I was wrong. Pittsburgh picked him up and he 497 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: played two more games the next year, in two more games, 498 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: and that was the end of his career. You're talking 499 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: about one of the when I say one of the 500 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: best athletes ever basketball football. He was six feet six 501 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: inches tall, I believe, and the guy could run just 502 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: as well as any quarterback in the league right now. 503 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean right now, Randall Cunningham couldn't hold a campbell 504 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: to his athleticism, and nor could these quarterbacks that we 505 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: have about there now, even Big Josh Allen, a sixth 506 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: round draft pick of the Cowboys in nineteen eighty three, 507 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: or Agie Collier. Let's let's be clear, that's one of those. 508 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: This is one of This is that era of you know, 509 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: can the black quarterback be a good quarterback? That's among 510 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: that era. So we were still as as black people 511 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: trying to prove that we could play this game as 512 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback the way we play it. And now, of course, 513 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, we've evolved as a league in regards to 514 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: that subject, but at that time it was a taboo 515 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: subject and as a society also, by the way, no 516 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: doubt I tell you. Let me let me tell you 517 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: a funny story. Funny story on Reggie Collier.

I'm gonna throw something out at both 573 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: of you and maybe you can think about somebody that 574 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: you would pick for this. I'll give you my guy 575 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: and is sort of an unsung guy on this team, 576 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: an unsung star on this team. Don't have to be 577 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: a star, but someone who's who's done well this year, 578 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: you think has done well that people aren't talking about. 579 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 1: And a guy I'll throw out there. So I'll rot 580 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: I did a little research on him last night as well, 581 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: because I was not as familiar with his backstory. Is 582 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: c J. Goodwin? You know, he's been a mainstay on 583 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: special teams, you know, throughout this season. And then of course, 584 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: as Mickey pointed out, and as you saw if you're 585 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: watching closely the game the other day, you got I 586 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: think sixteen snaps on defense. They used him with Jalen 587 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: Hurts at quarterback for the Eagles, and so, you know, 588 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting, Mickey, in this uh covid environment 589 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: that we're in, we're not hearing a lot of a 590 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: lot of the stories of players who aren't stars on 591 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: the team because the media doesn't have access to them 592 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: in the locker room like they normally do. You know, 593 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: in a normal year, you know CJ. Goodwin, You know, 594 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: it's not like a player like CJ. Goodwin, you know, 595 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: he would being at his locker in the locker room. Media. 596 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: You know, he can come in the locker room and 597 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: the media is not going to be hounded ever an interview. 598 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: But you would hear his story as the season progresses. 599 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: But did you know CJ. Goodwin? He grew up I 600 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,479 Speaker 1: believe in West Virginia and he didn't play football until 601 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: his senior year in high school. He was a basketball player, 602 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: went to Fairmont State University. May have gotten to a 603 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: different school first, but wound up at Fairmont State West 604 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: Virginia as a basketball player, and then he walked on 605 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: in the football team as a wide receiver. His position 606 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: coach got a job at California University in Pennsylvania, and 607 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: so he wound up. He wrapped up his career as 608 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: a wide receiver at California University in Pennsylvania. We're talking 609 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: Division two football. He of course did not get drafted, 610 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: but he's been. The Cowboys are his seventh team in 611 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. He did not convert to cornerback until twenty sixteen, 612 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: at the age of twenty six with the Falcons, and 613 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: he played a couple of years with the Falcons, and 614 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: then he bounced around a couple of teams before the 615 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys picked him up last year and now here at 616 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: the age of thirty, he is found his niche in 617 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: the National Football League as a special teams guy for 618 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and now they're he's in an advanced to 619 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: the point where they were using him in sub packages 620 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: in the game against the Eagles. I just think that's 621 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: a remarkable story of that people may not have heard 622 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: about C J. Goodwin. Hey, Bill, you are so right. 623 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 1: I didn't really noticing until you said it. You don't 624 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: really get those human interest stories. This year, we hardly 625 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: haven't had any. Everything's been about the team. Everything's been 626 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: from a virtual press conference standpoint. You know, no one 627 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: can get close enough to where you can find out thing. 628 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: I remember we were, of course, you know, years prior, 629 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: going all the way back to my years. You know, 630 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: people are always call and wanted to do a special 631 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: story on you and learn more about you. I had 632 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: no idea that that was his story, Bill. I think 633 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: that's very amazing, and I love hearing stories like that. 634 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: When I was coming, I was a free agent all 635 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 1: so many people. I'm still living the home of my 636 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: mom for like the first two years of my career, 637 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: so I'm always getting I was always getting calls and 638 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: visits from people in Hamilton Park saying my son hadn't 639 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: played ball in five years after you got out of college. 640 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: You know, can you help him get a free agent 641 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: try out?

And that's how I was taking it, because 645 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 1: I had so many people that would come up to 646 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: me and say, hey, everything, can you help my son 647 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: get a tryout? Like I guess you know they have. 648 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: That's when the Cowboys had the all tryout thing going on, 649 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: really just for pr purposes. They weren't signing anybody from 650 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: those tryouts, but you know, that's the kind of thing 651 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: that there was always hope out there for people that 652 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: want to play. And that story you just told that 653 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,800 Speaker 1: gives a lot of people hope. And I love those stories. 654 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: People think I walked on with the Cowboys. No, it 655 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: wasn't a walk on position. They're always trying to say, 656 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 1: because you're a free agent that you walked on. No, 657 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: I was. I came through Grambling the proper way, and 658 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: I was, you know, passed up through the draft and 659 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: signed as a free agent on Draft Day. That's different 660 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 1: from walking on. But that's what people had in their heads, 661 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: and they just assumed if Everyson Wataz can do it, 662 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: I guess anybody can do it. That's hope for my 663 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 1: son or hope for me. And I headed to downstair 664 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,280 Speaker 1: the hopes. But really, stories like what you just told 665 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: that can inspire a lot of people. Yea, and not 666 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: even just from a from a sports standpoint. I mean, 667 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 1: think about it. How many people out there this year 668 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: have lost their jobs, have all? You know that the 669 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: way that they were thought they were gonna make a 670 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: living and they're gonna have to take another go a 671 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: different route. Now, well, c J good one, all right, 672 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 1: he thought he's gonna be a basketball player and then 673 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: he had to take another round. He thought he's gonna 674 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: be a wide receiver. He's taking another and he's twenty 675 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: six years old, three years in six years? Al right, 676 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: Come on, and people can apply that too, even to 677 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: their own lives. I mean, those are the type stories 678 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 1: that sports. Uh, you hear those type stories and it 679 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: inspires people in all walks alive. Go ahead, Mickey, I 680 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: was gonna say, and I was trying to look up 681 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: his stats, so I don't know if you pointed it out. Um, 682 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 1: he leads the team with ten special teams tackles, so 683 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: he didn't make a niche for himself. And you know 684 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: that The sad part about it is, I bet the 685 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: majority of the media could walk into that locker room 686 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: and they couldn't pick out C. J. Goodwin. I mean, 687 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: we haven't been around. We haven't been around these guys. 688 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: You know. I was. I was looking on the field 689 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: today when we were watching practice, and it's like, Oh, 690 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: that assistant coach, who's he?

I am very glad 716 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: I'm getting older because that's tech. Shram said, it's better 717 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: than the alternative. Yes it is, so I believe text 718 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: on that work. So, Everson, how did you celebrate your 719 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: fourteenth birthday? Yeah?

But mean you watched the football 723 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:05,720 Speaker 1: game that day? Your fourteen birthday? December twenty eighth, nineteen 724 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: seventy five. Oh you know what you know, what happened 725 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: that day? That's me man. I looked on Facebook. All 726 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: I saw was Drew Pierson talking about that special day 727 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: and why the origin of the Hele Mary pass. So 728 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: I told you guys the story. My mom was making cake. 729 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 1: She had no interest in whatever Drew and Roger was doing. 730 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 1: All he wanted to do was make my birthday cake. 731 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,479 Speaker 1: And that was a good day. Okay, quickly, I'm gonna 732 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: give you my guy that probably went out in the radar. 733 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: Connor Williams has started every game this season, and as 734 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, he's played one thousand and sixty 735 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 1: two of one thousand and sixty three snaps this year 736 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 1: at left guard and has played well. By the way, 737 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 1: everybody kept wanting to moving the tackle, wanted somebody to 738 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: take over his spot. I think in his third year, 739 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 1: I think he's settled in and become a very good 740 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,919 Speaker 1: left guard. Maybe not a pro bowler, but a guy 741 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,359 Speaker 1: that you can win games with. He definitely has all 742 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: the experience on that offensive line at that point. He's 743 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,840 Speaker 1: the guy, right, He's the guy that they have to 744 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: look to for experience, which is which is crazy. I'm 745 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and pick mine right quick. And that's 746 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if he qualifies because he's a superstar. 747 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 1: To me, that's a Marie Cooper, you know, to me 748 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: I just talked about, you know, I talked about yesterday. 749 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: This whole team is full of underdogs this year, the 750 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 1: entire roster, and Cooper could have just you know, just 751 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: tripped over his own look from pounding from not having 752 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott as his quarterback. He hung in there, played 753 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: strong all year long. Consistency is what you need in 754 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: a year like this, and a Marie Cooper has shown that, 755 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 1: hands down the most consistent player on this team. Eleven 756 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 1: hundred yards. I think he's set a personal record in 757 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 1: receptions over eighty plus. So yes, Amara Cooper will be 758 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,359 Speaker 1: my guy and Everson. How many times do we see 759 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: players who signed big contracts who don't live up to 760 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 1: that contract I don't live up to It's a it's 761 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: a it's a problem I'd love to have. But but 762 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 1: it can be a problem of being able to live 763 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: up to that big contract. But but Amari has done 764 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: that this year, and he had he hadn't said a word. 765 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: He has not said a word. He just goes out 766 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: and plays ball. Eighty six catches, one thousand and seventy 767 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 1: three yards and five touchdowns, which ties for the team 768 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:52,319 Speaker 1: lead and touchdowns. All right, that doesn't for Mick shots 769 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 1: for this good year, Cotton Bull Wednesday. Uh got to 770 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,040 Speaker 1: show tomorrow.
