Mick Shots: Prime Time Game Ready

will get you fired up for a football weekend. It'll get you fired up for Philadelphia. The go team of the Senior Pros headed to Philadelphia on Sunday night, Sunday Night football against the unbeaten Eagles. Will they still will be unbeaten when we reconvene in Monday at noon. For some reason, I also get a get up and go in the church fielding. When I hear that song the church. It reminds you of Hamilton Park Baptist Church first before I got up. Okay, we gotta be back by halftime.

Guys man, I hope he doesn't go. I hope to preach it. Then go along all the good old days. Yes, the good old days. Welcome to a fabulous Football Friday edition of mix Shots inside the SWBC podcast studio, Bill Jones, Everson Walls, and the star of this show that would be Mickey Spagnola on a regeneration Friday or the Cowboys are simulating a game type atmosphere out on the practice field as we speak. It's going to be a star in somebody's eyes. You're not a star at home, you know.

Oh never, No, not at all. That sounds like it was a rough night. Spoke real to real fast on that. Oh you never are right. Well, well it's Friday, it is, and the Cowboys are headed to Philly tomorrow, and they finished their regeneration practice. They're walking off the field walk through. They're walking off the field as we speak as they trotted during practice, because this tomorrow is their more main practice. That used to be on Friday than Mike moved to Saturday.

But I see where the Eagles felt the necessity to practice today on like or Thursday. They got in although I saw a bunch of the guys on the injury report at listed as resting. Yes, that's right, they didn't need to practice, such as h Lane Johnson was one of them. Fletcher Cox Lane is a d linement o lineman, the offensive tackle tackle. Yeah, Fletcher Cox was resting there were I'm trying to do it off top of my head. I wrote it down. Well, I think the point is.

The point is they're they're trying to heal up quickly, right, Yeah, all right, you're resting players for the Eagles yesterday. James Bradbury cornerback, A J Brown wide receiver, Fletcher Cox defensive tackle, Brandon Graham defensive end, Lane Johnson your offensive right tackle, and Darius Slay and Josh Sweat. But limited yesterday and still limited were Landon Dickerson, Jason Kelsey, Meilotta, Jordan Melotta, and Isaacs say oh maala, I gotta go slow there,

you know. But so you have to give us the positions because I think I'm sorry. Dickerson's a guard, uh, Jason Kelsey's the center, Meilotta is a tackle, and say Amala is a guard and Avante Maddox is a cornerback along with Jake Elliot the kicker, so he's probably not playing. And I think that about sums it up of the main guy. So you're saying none of those job was limited so Jake Elliot's not playing. It didn't sound like when I read about it. I mean, he's limited, So

I guess that's encouraging. But I think that limited. That's right. As long as you're out there and you took one snapper ten snaps and you've got something bothering you, you're limited. So I probably we shot get the next DAK update. So what, how's he going to be listed this afternoon?

How will DAK be listed this afternoon on the practice report on a regeneration Friday, probably after today, after today, which is the final practice report, and that's this is the day where you this is the players who are listed. Players who have already been determined as being out are listed on the practice report as out, or you give a game status of doubtful or questionable if you don't

have to give any games. I would imagine they will do doubtful doubtful as an estimation on Saturday's practice because he'll do something tomorrow, maybe he'll be they'll be listed. He'll be listed as limited and doubtful for the game. You think, I think so, yes, So you're telling me there's a chance I would say to you, I was going to bring that up today building. I'm glad you said just to you, because now we can give back to what we were talking about. What was that Wednesday?

It's gonna happen, man, I think it's gonna happen that Dak's gonna suit up and he's gonna be He's gonna be Cooper's back up. You think so? I think so? Tell us right, we're right? No right? No, no dead wrong no dead wrong? Is there a chance? Okay, I will if Will Greer, why you why wouldn't you list him is out? Then doubtful is the same thing. Now you can play if you're doubtful. Well, if you're that'll that'll cause the Eagles to have to do a little

bit of research yep, and waste their time. Yeah. But but but from a cowboy fan point of view, I think it says a lot about us looking at him suiting up and being ready if Cooper gets out, and would you see there? Did you see that? I can see that? Okay? Is there a scenario have all three quarterbacks? Exactly exactly what I was going to say, Is there a scenario that you could present that you could have all three quarterbacks active on Sunday? Night in your forty eight.

Uh huh, because you're gonna have to Um, you're gonna have to elevate. Trying to think, well, you got to elevate Will Greer right one. Um, and I'm trying to think, what's the other position that a long snapper is hasn't been signed to the roster yet. It's not so they're good too. So you would have to have those two up, which means you can't. You've already got two spots taken for sure. So now you're down to forty six. That means you have to take somebody that would be playing

off off your forty six. If Dak was active, hasn't been. He hasn't played a car I'm okay, wait, let me let me just this listen. He hasn't taken a competitive snap yet. He hasn't thrown a competitive pass in practice yet. Okay, and he hasn't taken a snap from center. Let me paid the scenario. Thank you go, Bill, I know you come to us. Okay, what if in this game you have a need in the fourth quarter? Okay, and we're

not good. Heaven't forbid anything happened to Cooper Rush whatever, but for whatever reason, you had to go to a backup quarterback and you needed a drive to the game. That's it. Is there a scenario that you could paint that that? Okay, maybe Dak could do that, and you're just give me two minutes and forty five seconds where you're down three two time something like that, and you

need a drive to win the game. And for some Rea Cooper or twisted his ankle or something, well, then will Gurus shouldn't be on the fifty three man roster or on the game day roster. I should say. I'm not saying that it's it's which who would you prefer a healthy Dak? Okay? But but if Dak's out there making throws, m can he take the snap from why? I guess he doesn't take. It's gonna be shotguns. It's gonna be shotgun situation. So I'm trying to paint we

just have to willingly make that a jest. But he's gonna whatever's gonna happen, and it will be two minutes, be a two minute drills. You don't have to be shout gun. We already know that. That's No matter what I'm trying to figure out, is there buying closed doors in their meeting, or they may have be having the same conversation. Is there a scenario where we should have Dak available just in case we need him in a late game situation? Silence from the star of the showing

he's not trying to enter, he's not entertaining. Are you entertaining you? Or is he searching for a scenario. He's searching for a quote, he's looking for something, looking for what he said about telling you he knows that the scenario this can happen. Man, I'm telling you we need to be prepared for this, you know. So McCarthy said about that, we've adjusted here, we're going with what Clarence suggested. Maybe he'll play on Sunday? Is one more time see Clarence? Yes,

who's Clarence? He'll oh, can you repeat for me? Wait what Clarence suggested yesterday? Why aren't you acting like Dak might play to bluff Philadelphia? So they waste time for dad? And today he said when it got asked again about it, he said, we've adjusted here, We're going with Clarence what Clarence saying? So maybe he'll play on Sunday. With a big smile on his face, Okay, so that's what's dripping from from this conversation a sarcasm. Yes, all right, very good.

We cleared that up. Now, then let's get to the business of who is going to play on Sunday against Philadelphia and what needs to happen for the Cowboys to emerge victorious. I would think that Jason Peters is going to be active from just what they've said. Um, Mike said today that he had his best practice since um he's been here on Thursday, meaning not since his injury, since he's been here, So I would imagine backup guard, backup tackle. He's also talked highly of Josh Ball too,

so I don't know if there's a chance there. Um farniacum had been the backup guard, but they kind of liked him at fullback. Yeah. So are you suggesting that one that if you had Peters and Josh Ball active, that farniac would not be act No, he would because you gotta have eight to move from too. Yeah, So maybe that just you gotta have a fullback what your deal is? Yeah, exactly. Um, Michael Parsons sounds like he's

a go. They would have to leave him behind to keep him off the field and any participation, and if they did, he would uh buy his own ticket to get to Philadelphia. Any practice participant limited. Yeah, so they're just trying to get him to Sunday. Um and I don't know if the injury, if that limits him to playing one position or the other. We talked about it. Yes, that's my thing. I wondered just how he really feels. How limited is he really because it easier to go

vertically than horizontally with a strain growing. I would have the judging by what he the way he played on Sunday after suffering. Actually, that's I used to say that about DeMarcus DeMarcus ware when they moved to that three four and at times I'd see him dropping into coverage and I'm like, I want DeMarcus Lawrence going forward, not back. Look like a stoup the back pedal. Yeah. So I it looks like he's good to go. U sounds like Schultz is doing better, uh since he's had He had

been playing with a brace. I think those last the previous game. I don't know how well that worked, but this last game it sound like he was able to either take it off that game or take it off this week so Schultz h should be good to go. And he only had ten snaps against Agrams, right, which is ten more one of the guys. One of the guys I think they're worried about isco rico'dontell uh their third running back. So if he can't go, Malik Davis is going to take his role special teams and just

kind of in reserve. Uh. And I think that kind of takes care of all the guys that were limited or did not practice. DeMarcus Lawrence obviously good to go after what he said yesterday? What did he say yesterday? He was they where everybody was talking about what are they gonna do? How are they going to stop the Philly offense and hurts? And he finally said they ain't played us. And then when they asked again about hurts, he goes, I am done talking about hurts. Have a

good day. And there's there's there's merit to that. You know, it really is when you think about this defense, I haven't seen you know, Tampa Bay didn't no cage out right, but I just haven't seen anyone to this point show show the weakness exposed the weaknesses that we had last year. There were games when we really needed that defense. Now. First of all, hell of a defense last year, playmaking defense that was exciting. Sometimes sometimes they would just they

just took the whole game over. More concern assistant this time, and the fact that the yardage besides those big plays, the yardage that the running plays, that the lack of of of effectiveness by the offense on third down, things of that nature. Once they hone in on it, they are they are. They are just overwhelming and really the only the only thing that's occurred UH so far is

at times their ability to be consistent against the run. UH. And that was one of the things mccarthury pointed out in the press conference saying, you know, the key thing for the defense this game will be tackling. We got to tackle. And I think that was in reference to UH to Hurts because if you look at it, you know, one, two, three of the five teams they've played have run for

at least one hundred and forty two yards. They can't let they can't let Philadelphia do because that gives Hurts protection, right, That brings in play action the jet suite. Yeah, and that allows him to drop like he's gonna throw and then take off and run like a designer, right, michaelpo or something like that. So he's he's rushed for the most yards of any quarterback so far. After five games, we will be tested to sixty six. We will be and he is tied for the lead among non kickers

with his six touchdowns. That's significant to me. So that's why McCarthy pointed out, um, we got to tackle. I would love to see the average time per drive, per touchdown drive, because they seem to control the tempo of the game when they're at their best. They seem to keep that defense touchdown drive. I don't think that that's

listed here. Let me look. But the thing that McCarthy said, one of the things they do is we got to disrupt their pace because once they get going going fast and then you probably don't have time to get your guys off the field. So they're overall time of possession is thirty three minutes fifty three seconds. I don't think they break it down per scoring drive. And I mentioned only because that's when you know that they are controlling

the pace of the game, right they are. I mean this is not scoring drives, but their average drive time. It ranks third in the league, which is their average drive time is over three minutes a possession. But you know what, the Cowboys have more sacks than they do. Cowboys are second in the NFL with twenty. San Francisco has twenty one. I believe the Eagles have seventeen seventeen yep so, and when we talked about the running game, it seems as far as I run defense, it's concerned.

It seems like we are just well at halftime, there's much there's less effectiveness per game in the second half by the opposition running the ball. Yeah, you know, you're absolutely right. They corrected that against Washington. It was I want to say, one hundred and one in the first half and forty one in the second half. And the Rams, except for that big play, the one big run, I think it was no. They pretty much shut that down, especially when they were when the Rams were trying to

move the chains. So they seemed to control the game at the biggest moment of the game. And that's that's going back to post Bucks, post Tampa Bay. So I can give you this on time drive time. Their longest drive by minutes was seven minutes in fifty five seconds against Detroit. The first game of the year. They went eighty two yards. That's it. That's what it says. You know. One of the Cowboys best drives in the game against

the Rams was to start the second half. Yeah, because they went They went fifty three yards in thirteen plays, resulted in a field goal, but it ate up nearly seven minutes of the clock, which so they're converting third downs. They converted three third downs on that drive, yeah, which has been a problem for the offense, by the way, and one of them was the sensational toe tap catch by Michael Gallop on the sideline on a third and

sixteen play for twenty seven arts. Right, But that that is so big in the third quarter, and it's happened to the Cowboys so many times in the past where the other team gets to kick off and then all of a sudden, the game is down to you know, that first drive, you eat up seven or eight minutes on the clock, and now there's only a quarter and a half left in this game, and now you're you more quickly if you're behind, you quickly abandon your game

plan and start throwing the ball. Think of the effectiveness of Jalen Hurts, not just in scoring but in moving the chains, I'm sure. I mean, we're gonna have to spy the guy on third and three, thirds and four. He's gonna be probably the number one weapon for them. And you probably have to do it with a safety not a line because I don't you know, the linebackers

run well, but not that well. Right, And when you say safety, you mean like black Hooker or Wilson, So you wouldn't think Jay or I don't think Curse runs that well, does he? And then and then what about the tight end? Yeah, that ye can handle that. That's what I mean. If Jay run is if Jay run spy and then you get you get the Wilson covering. Uh no, you get Wilson spy. Yeah, and cocause if if one of those But then again, if one of those safeties is spying, then you're hung out to single

safety high. Right, you talk about first down, thank you're afraid of that wide receivers not even a j Brown, not even the tenth pick in the draft, Davante Smith. Now that guy worries me. And on your first downs. The Eagles are third in the league in first downs. Where do you think the Cowboys ranking first downs? On offense pretty far down. Yeah, after getting twins, after getting ten in their win over the rams U thirty thirtieth

in the league. And first, guess what, remember when I brought up the game in nineteen ninety one when they went up there and at eleven they had eleven. That's right, that's right, and they won. So all right, it's the and they only had two hundred and eleven yards offense. It's the irresistible force versus the immovable object in this regard. The Eagles third in the league and first downs. The Cowboys defense fourth in the league and given up first down. Yeah,

there is a new rule. First team to twelve wins, no first team to score a touchdown, No last week, no teams. So you know what. I figured out that on Thursday night football. And I don't know what happened the week before last week, but if you count last week and last night, they went ninety seven minutes of playtime before a touchdown was scored. Ninety seven minutes. My

boy Ron Springs called that buzzard luck. You got buzzard luck you pull games like this, And I'm not sure I was on board with the bears dressed in orange like a bunch of pumpkins. Do we have to say it? Do we have to say it's how long's coming up? Orange helmets? You? What was your festive? So it was twelve nine last week Indianapolis against the Orange Crush, right and the Orange Russian question? Question question, yeah, rush. The kid muffs a punt. He muffle punt. Uh. They followed

him to the sideline. They say he he has two he's had two fumbles the last two games or something like that. Is a muffed punt considerable fumble? It is not. It isn't where to go Christopher. It's not a turnover. I think they I guess that was just piling on top of his you know, problems with not just catching the ball, but he was holding onto it. Well, how about standing up? He was falling like he slipped in. He was on his knees and the thing kind of hit him in the head. They almost won the game,

and they did. I was putting the food. I mean, if he cleaned only catches that ball, that's touchdown. The guy dropped like three three balls and he kept coming back to him. The guy at the end, did you see his catch? Did you see his catch last week. No, he paid an unbelievable catch. Is that why they kept

coming at him? Probably? I mean, he's a good player, but Bill, but it's but it's the Bears and the result oriented Okay, the guy missed like three big catches and while Justice back there running around like trying to save his own life. And you feel so sorry for Justin. He's like a baby brother. That's you know what I'm saying. He just looks so helpless back there trying to protect himself. And you're back there, You're you're dropping passes as I'm

getting blasted while throwing the ball to you. Don't you think I just thought one of those plays once they got to the five yard line, that they're gonna call a run play. Yeah, and they never did. I trust him running if like you said, if he if he catches it, it's a it's a guy bobbled it. M and he was about because he was in until the ball popped out. If he catches it is already in the ends. Yeah, right, And al Michael said that, well, he was out of bound even if he had caught it.

As far as once he landed, he didn't get too feel I need to take a closer look to see if there's another part of his body that touched before his elbow touched out of bounds. But the ball still wasn't over the line, No, no, but it had he cleanly. And what I'm saying is, even if what al Michael said, even if he had cleanly caught it, it was not going to be a catch because he didn't get two feet in bounds. But if he would have called it cleanly, ben Uh, he would have come. He would have come

down much sooner if he would have called it clean Yeah. Yeah, So I don't think that would have been didn't he could have focused it would have done was done this, Yeah, went down and he was ready to do that's his problem. He was already prepared to stretch it over. But he never did this, and as it was, he caught it. If he had caught it, it was already over. He didn't know that at the time. But I think, like

they said, you have to still come down right. Yes, yes, that's not like he was Once he bobbled, then he lost body controls. Yeah, it was out of his hands up. So that's neither here nor there. We're focused on Sunday night in Philadelphia with Michael Parsons tied for the league lead with six secs. Dorance Armstrong has to be at least, if not in the league lead, tied for the league lead and block kicks. I don't think they have that as a stamp here. It might be, but he's got two.

Now did you see what happened? How he Why did he get through so cleanly on the punt? He just was faster. I think that they probably saw it. I think they saw it on film too. That that's my point. Yeah, especially the game, this is my design muscle. Didn't want to reveal that, don't You don't want to How lated do you think fossil was oh at getting a block kick in LA against the RAM? There was there was some status that was lost on me, some stat after the game that he's like one of two people maybe

in the Super Bowl area era. Oh no, the sack area that ended up with a sack and a block punt in the same game. I'm since nineteen eighty two, Yeah, since nineteen eighty two. It was somebody else I read. That's all right, we don't need to answer to that because I'm caldiculious. But well, we're gonna get Mickey time to look that up. And then when we come back here on mix shots, it's our picks to clip and who wins on Sunday night in Philly next? We paid

how much for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally? Can you pass? Yeah? Pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh look at that. That's not the end, no way. Now it's time for the encore.

Doris Armstrong leads the league in block punts this year

with two. Okay. He also has recorded a sack in all three games he's blocked a kick, joining JJ Watt as the only active players with a sack and a block kick in three different games. How about that? That's crazy? There you go right here? And I almost chose him as my pick to click last week Latin account. And who did you take? Foula? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I took Cavante Turpin. I don't remember who I took. I took Layton Vanderish. All right, this Eagles team, um that

that the Cowboys front is really good on defense? Right? The Eagles front is really good on defense ever since? Did you see what Jordan Davis ran at the combine? Yeah? I did four? What? Four? Seven? Eight six six. I would have barely edged him at the tape six six, three hundred and forty one pounds, and he ran a four seven eight at the combine. Well, why in the world did he just played twenty nine and stabs that

seasons that stuff around. That's because of all the other guys. Yeah, he can't fit on and get on the field, right. I think as far as rookies are concerned, I think he's up near the top in some certain stats that they have out there and regloss to pressures, I think he's like high up there as far as the bookies provide pressures and hits and things of that nature. Well, let's see if the other as you look that up the other edition that they made on their front, Hassan

Reddick is pretty good. Come this year this year, Yeah, he came up. He's got four. He was with Carolina last year, okay, and originally was a first round pick thirteenth overall of Arizona five years ago. And so I had eleven sacks last year. He's got four and a half, four and a half already. That's nice. Jordan Davis eleven eleven total tackles, one tackle for a loss. He doesn't have a sack yet, but he's got a pass defense. Now, having said that about Jordan Davis, he's not their best

interior defensive lineman. Who would you say is their best interior defensive lineman, Well, either Hargrove or Cox. Hargrove, Yeah, Javon Hargrove seven and a half sacks last year. And when I did the coaches show last night, McCarthy, I mentioned Brandon Graham, but your Cox, Jordan Davis hasan reddick and neglected to mention Javon Hart Javon Hargrave, and the coach quickly pointed out that. And don't forget Javon Hargrave. I mean, well, you guys made me aware of him

last year. I remember last year, you guys are like, hey, this is the guy. So I started watching him a lot out more than than And we haven't even mentioned Josh Sweat, who had seven and a half sacks last year, and um and they out for the years Derek Burnett, Well, Sweat has three. Let me make sure I'm reading correctly across the board here, He's got six tackles for losses

and two and a half sacks so far. So Cowboys offensive line gonna have their hands full, yes, yes, and the Eagles offensive line going to have their hands well. The other thing, rush needs the emptiest hands real quickly, get the ball out. The formulas the same, do not what did Jimmy Johnson say? And do not turn? And we love incompletions, all right, who do we love in this game? Picks to click and picks to win? What

do y'all think? Click? I'm first a person's off the board again until we just start really other than we start really taking, you know as we go along? Right, Yeah, looking bad? Right? If we keep taking, then yeah, passes back on. He's all He's all game. So I'm looking at us having a tough time up front trying to run the ball. If if we're smart, then we're gonna have some players that are gonna counter what they're good at. They're good at stopping the run. I think we're gonna

be able to with the play action. Not quite sure we can have a steady diet of tight ends in the passing game. I look at our running backs being a nice deceptive catching the ball, catching the ball out of the backfield. I don't know how good their linebackers are, but I believe in space we can get open and hopefully Zeke doesn't get out there and act like he hadn't seen the football before like he does sometimes got

the Eric scissorhands right. I don't know what goes on with that, but we called the door set right, Yeah, same thing. But Zeke used to catch better than that. But I hope he gets back to that because I think we need to give him the ball more. I didn't say Pollard because you know, man love me some some some Pollard, but his his ability to pick up blitzes, and that's gonna be a lot of it in this game. His ability to pick up blitzes. I hope he knows

what the heck he's doing when he's in there. And I think Zeke's gonna be in there mostly because of that, because of his experience. He's my my guy picked to click, and Pollard knows Zeke Zeke Zeke no Zeke. Now, I don't know how much time Pollock can get in those type of situations. In those type of situations, uh, this will be the first time the Cowboys give up more than then twenty points in a minute. When's the last

time we go twenty points? Last year. Wow. Okay, okay, so this time, first time this year, first time this year, but we're still gonna win twenty seven twenty three, twenty seven, twenty three. Zeke leads the way with receptions. With receptions, I'm gonna take and this may not be this statistical winner, but the most important person in this game is going to be Cooper Rush. He better click because if he doesn't, it's gonna be twenty seven to ten. And for the win.

I in my research, the Cowboys have beaten Philadelphia seven of the last nine times they've played, and actually one of those losses in those nine times was a replacement game, although one of the wins were two Okay, oh no, it wasn't a loss. It was one of the wins. I'm sorry that the replacement game they lost was to Washington. And so my score, this is gonna be first time the Cowboys give up multiple touchdowns in a game this year,

but they will win twenty three twenty one. So I probably should have taken Brett Maher as my winner because he's gonna have to kick at least three field goals. Okay, and I've got twenty three twenty Cowboys. And because I've seen it before. Jalen Hurts is gonna throw a pick down in the red zone. He's going back to this Oklahoma day. I hope so. And I picked the click is Donovan Wilson. Donovan Wilson just might be that guy who comes up with the game saving interception down on

the gold line. That's not a bad choice. That's not because you remember he's gonna be geeked his entire game. They ain't fast us yet. Last week it was where nobody's underdog. This week they hate face. Yeah, I like that. So should I have picked DeMarcus Lawrence? What doesn't mean he's going to be a star. It just means that I like, wh who's your guys? I took Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush, that's right, quarterbacks got the game in his hands. So you're saying Cooper Rush won't have as many turnovers

as Jalen Hurts. Is that what you're saying? That's what I'm saying. That's what we're hoping he will play clean. That does that mean he won't turn it over at all? I'm worried Sam because he hadn't ended up with three sacks against the Rams, but it only had one once again. Two other games you have when your defense is bawling, all of that stuff just just dim it's dim light. You don't even pay attention to it, as long as you hold them in check and tackle. And so, Bill,

what was this twenty three twenty Cowboys win? Donovan Wilson is your star of the game. We got a mixed shot secretary here, yeah, or maybe administrative assistant. Well, first of all, it's only because I'm kicking y'all's butts. Oh okay, So that's all. That's the reason for it's our record picking games this season. I think I know I'm for and one I think I've picked. I don't think I picked Tampa. No, I did. I picked Tampa. You did

picked Tampa and I really did? Yeah, and I and I I didn't on the premise that they should have beat him last year in the season opener left all those points on the board kicking field goals. I'm gonna have a perfect season, okay, and that if I'm gonna have it, Well, if you get this one, right, I bet you get the next two right. See, that's the thing. You get Detroit and Chicago that's right coming up, and then the bye you'll win. Who's gonna win the back? Yeah?

All right, that does it for a fabulous Football Friday, Philly edition of Mix Shots. Your seat belts ready, Yep, it's gonna be fun on Sunday night and you're going to football, so you're gonna get in at what time Monday when you're going straight from the tarmac here three maybe you know back in the day when we do those games and I had to do like radio at eight thirty in the morning, I just go to the ranch and go down in the little room there where
