Speaker 3: I tried, Mickey. Okay, did y'all watch the football last night?
Speaker 2: Oh? You know what? See, don't do that to me
Speaker 2: because I also watch other shows. And it was two
Speaker 2: games last night. Let's not talk about the Henry game,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 4: That's the one we could watch.
Speaker 3: You had to work to find the other.
Speaker 2: Game, Yes you did. It's called ESPN plus.
Speaker 3: That's right. I got it. Mickey apparently doesn't.
Speaker 2: Have a Yeah, you do not? I do not.
Speaker 3: How do you watch Missouri football?
Speaker 4: Want to pay for it? They're on National.
Speaker 2: Win Me. Yes, you're a little bit older than both. Yes,
Speaker 2: you have money saved that you you are very frugal.
Speaker 2: You are sports.
Speaker 4: That's why.
Speaker 3: That's why he's not on it is because he's older
Speaker 3: and us he hadn't figured out how access it.
Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's amazing. Are we not all sports guys?
Speaker 2: I mean we like the four major sports, right, so
Speaker 2: we should always have access to at least before me.
Speaker 3: Watch games on your phone?
Speaker 4: No, I don't watch games.
Speaker 3: Do you watch games on your phone?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 3: I love it phone and the iPad.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I got both of them looked.
Speaker 3: Up try so. I got my ESPN app. I even
Speaker 3: got my high school app. I want Friday Night. I
Speaker 3: watched school games.
Speaker 4: I got my laptop to do that. Stuffed my phone, but.
Speaker 3: I got to pay. Take your laptop in your car.
Speaker 2: You hold on, hold on.
Speaker 5: When you go to your when you when you go
Speaker 5: to a youth baseball game like I have to go to.
Speaker 5: Then I get to go to my grandkids and I'm
Speaker 5: sitting there watching college football.
Speaker 3: I'm watching the game.
Speaker 4: I use my dish anyway.
Speaker 2: I have a question that you get through. Go ahead on.
Speaker 2: I want I want to cut you off. Go ahead on.
Speaker 4: I couldn't do that without ESPN.
Speaker 2: You say you have a laptop, you say you have
Speaker 2: a laugh. I got a phone, and you got a phone, right,
Speaker 2: But you got like eight thousand sheets of paper.
Speaker 4: And it takes time to look it up. I've already
Speaker 4: got it written.
Speaker 2: Now, okay, okay, just questioning.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. That's why I've got a big green
Speaker 3: notebook and I've got another.
Speaker 2: But you got your pants.
Speaker 3: I tried, Yeah, because if I write it down, I
Speaker 3: committed to memory.
Speaker 2: Yes, he writes it down, and still don't commit it
Speaker 2: to member. He writes it down in search right here,
Speaker 2: Jerry said.
Speaker 3: He writes it Dad, I can't remember where he wrote
Speaker 3: it down.
Speaker 4: I can't read my own writing.
Speaker 2: Something else. You are something else. I did watch that game,
Speaker 2: which I watched it the first one and I had
Speaker 2: the second going. But those two teams don't interest me.
Speaker 2: Teams where we thought we should have had a player,
Speaker 2: not me. We thought as fans we should have had
Speaker 2: a player. I like to see dominant teams, our teams
Speaker 2: with the chance to be dominant play. And I thought
Speaker 2: that was a good game last night. And even though
Speaker 2: Baker couldn't he started off hot.
Speaker 4: Yes, then they started forcing stuff.
Speaker 3: Yes, he lost his receiver too, and he lost his.
Speaker 4: Other roster the other receiver for the season.
Speaker 2: Wow. The Ravens defense ain't as good as it used
Speaker 2: to be, but they still would come up with a
Speaker 2: big hit here and a big hit there, you know, and.
Speaker 4: Now and not Todd Bowles is underfire.
Speaker 2: Shouldn't be, I know, shouldn't be like my man over here,
Speaker 2: shouldn't be.
Speaker 4: Why was he in the game they're starting at You
Speaker 4: knew what was gonna happen, right, It was predictable.
Speaker 3: There it goes.
Speaker 4: It's the it's the book of obvious questions.
Speaker 2: You know what, man? I told my wife and and
Speaker 2: it shouldn't be this simple of this mean. But I say,
Speaker 2: thank god, these head coaches at least get five to
Speaker 2: six million dollars in two years. They can say at
Speaker 2: least I made ten million dollars. Because any little thing
Speaker 2: can get you fired. I would I would not hire
Speaker 2: a coach unless I was guaranteed for him. Four years.
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't do it. If I can't look at
Speaker 2: this coach and go through his ups and downs and
Speaker 2: give him at least four years, I wouldn't even hire him.
Speaker 4: Well, this had nothing to do with winning and losing.
Speaker 4: It was because the player got hurt with a minute
Speaker 4: to go in the game. But they they're a touchdown
Speaker 4: away from an on site kick.
Speaker 2: To try to understand that he's been there four years,
Speaker 2: he's kind of under fire, But has he not shown
Speaker 2: you in four years? If he has a lot of injuries,
Speaker 2: does he not deserve another year? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Yes, and so that that's just my belief.
Speaker 4: Won the division two years in a row.
Speaker 2: So you know, Baker just I've always root it for Baker,
Speaker 2: But these these few little moves he makes sometimes you're like,
Speaker 2: come on, Baker, wow. But I do like most most
Speaker 2: of the quarterbacks in the league. So because this hard
Speaker 2: played that position, it's got to be a massive.
Speaker 3: And then you look at Derrick Henry and he the
Speaker 3: first three quarters of that game. I remember looking it
Speaker 3: up and he had like five carries for twenty five
Speaker 3: yards something like that. Yes, and then he fourth quarter
Speaker 3: he steps off at eighty one yard or and he
Speaker 3: winds up with one hundred and sixty nine yards rushing
Speaker 3: on fifteen carries and at thirteen yard touchdown catch, And
Speaker 3: which brings us to Jerry Jones on the radio this morning.
Speaker 2: I knew you was going to swing the long.
Speaker 3: Ball, Jerry Jones on the radio this morning, and he didn't.
Speaker 3: The host did not even ask him the question about
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry. He beat him to the punch, and he
Speaker 3: asked himself the question about Derrick Henry. And what do
Speaker 3: you think of his answer?
Speaker 4: I thought I could have answered it for him. Number one,
Speaker 4: he said it didn't fit into our system because we
Speaker 4: don't run the ball that man.
Speaker 3: It's almost like he listened to mix shots yesterday at.
Speaker 4: Number two that obviously didn't fit into their financial system
Speaker 4: for salary cap reasons. But again, yeah, he's but you
Speaker 4: know what, he cracks one of those runs seemingly every game, right,
Speaker 4: one big run.
Speaker 3: Already this year he's got an eighty seven yard or
Speaker 3: an eighty one yarder.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it you know, it's like, oh, look at
Speaker 4: those stats, but if you look at the blocking, there
Speaker 4: was no one in his way, was there. It's not
Speaker 4: like he ran somebody over. He turned the corner and
Speaker 4: it was like he was coming down one hundred yard dash.
Speaker 2: That that's what hurts you. And that is the uniqueness
Speaker 2: of him that I've always admired. I remember me, you
Speaker 2: used to do the show together when we was debate
Speaker 2: between Zeke and Henry and then I you know, you
Speaker 2: taught me right into Zeke. And I've never regretted. I
Speaker 2: never looked back. But I tell it that is that
Speaker 2: is what he does. He did it at Bama, he
Speaker 2: did He did it with the with the Titans. That
Speaker 2: he bangs, He bangs, he bangs, and you forget that
Speaker 2: he's a long distance runner and all of a sudden
Speaker 2: he'll jump outside and you you just think, as a dB,
Speaker 2: I'm going to get him. But each step you take,
Speaker 2: you see you getting further and further behind. And uh,
Speaker 2: he's done it his whole career and he trains that way.
Speaker 2: So I'm not shocked.
Speaker 4: So that State farm commercials.
Speaker 2: No, that's not a joke. He moving houses. Uh. The
Speaker 2: amazing thing if you.
Speaker 3: Give up Friday foods when you were playing.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I did. I stopped drinking on Thursdays.
Speaker 2: I'm serious. You know, I told you all to serve
Speaker 2: before I went to Randy White because I felt my games.
Speaker 2: I felt. I was like, man, my game, ain't I
Speaker 2: don't feel good on Sundays when one into games and
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm doing the right thing. And Randon they
Speaker 2: stopped drinking on Thursdays.
Speaker 3: He said, you drink every other day, yeay.
Speaker 2: On Thursdays Friday because I was I was a drinker, man,
Speaker 2: I liked the beer. And He's like, may just he said,
Speaker 2: your life will change if you stop drinking on Thursdays.
Speaker 2: So I stopped Friday Saturday and this sun I felt.
Speaker 2: So I did it for like six seven, eight years straight.
Speaker 2: I just felt good, man. I mean, you gotta do things,
Speaker 2: you know, you got to make some sacrifices. I mean,
Speaker 2: if I can throw you a few light beers for
Speaker 2: a couple of days, and the rest of the league
Speaker 2: can so they can be like this big horse we
Speaker 2: seen running out the other night.
Speaker 4: I just that's that's that's funny. It was because at
Speaker 4: the super Bowl it would have been ninety one, yes,
Speaker 4: and we ran into Jerry Granville.
Speaker 3: After Jerry Glanville coach after.
Speaker 4: The super Bowl, and my friend that I was with
Speaker 4: from Mississippi, went to Southern Mississippi. Was a big Brett
Speaker 4: Fire fan, right, and he after his rookie year he
Speaker 4: didn't play much, and he asked Glenville, he said, do
Speaker 4: you think Brett Fire could make it in this league?
Speaker 4: And he said, yeah, if he figures out by Wednesday
Speaker 4: to quit all that corn squeeze and drinking, that he
Speaker 4: could probably make it in this league. Well it wasn't,
Speaker 4: but two or three weeks later he got traded.
Speaker 3: To Green Bay.
Speaker 4: Wow, and the rest is history. Yes, but he said
Speaker 4: the same thing as that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just got it. Sometimes you got a squeaky
Speaker 2: in life if you wanted to maintain at a high level.
Speaker 2: And but Henry been doing this all his life, man,
Speaker 2: and now he's the nutrition part is kicking in and.
Speaker 4: It throwing tires around.
Speaker 2: And it does not hurt. This is what I got
Speaker 2: from mister Jones saying. What he said was at this
Speaker 2: point in time, we do not have the offensive.
Speaker 4: Line right without saying it.
Speaker 2: Yes, and we don't. We don't run the ball enough
Speaker 2: to give Henry, Because I'm serious. They beat everybody else
Speaker 2: up early in the game with the other with with
Speaker 2: with the other guy, and with Lamar and then they
Speaker 2: brought in Henry late early in the second half, and
Speaker 2: that team was worred down a little bit and he
Speaker 2: just took advantage of it.
Speaker 4: Well, and think about the Lamar Jackson factor. Yes, you
Speaker 4: gotta worry about that, Yes, and that can beat you
Speaker 4: if you don't, and then that opens things up for
Speaker 4: everybody else.
Speaker 2: The thing that we have thought, well as fans, you
Speaker 2: can think what you want, to pay your money, you cheer, whatever,
Speaker 2: but we don't have the personnel that at this time
Speaker 2: that the Ravens have. I mean, we talked about it
Speaker 2: yesterday and I know it's a debbie downer, but to
Speaker 2: these players get a little bit better as young guys.
Speaker 2: Until we kind of replace some of our older guys
Speaker 2: who are not what they used to be, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a struggle. I'm not saying we can't win games,
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be a struggle. You need players. You
Speaker 2: can holler the coaches all you want. These coaches have
Speaker 2: been recycled through this league. But to a man, they'll
Speaker 2: tell you if we got players, we're better coaches. So
Speaker 2: we just got to get We got to play better
Speaker 2: as the team.
Speaker 3: And the exact quote from Jerry on Derrick Henry as
Speaker 3: it relates to what you're talking about with the offensive line. Uh,
Speaker 3: in my mind, we're not playing very good football right
Speaker 3: now at all. And it's beyond whether or not we
Speaker 3: have Derrick Henry. I don't know if he'd be having
Speaker 3: a career a year in our situation.
Speaker 4: And it's probably a pretty good point.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: It's the truth.
Speaker 4: It is the offensive line blocking.
Speaker 2: It's the truth.
Speaker 3: They've worded it well without throwing his offensive line under
Speaker 3: the bus.
Speaker 4: Yes, So in a week's time, can you change blocking schemes?
Speaker 4: Can you change what your run?
Speaker 2: You can?
Speaker 4: Runs are runs are?
Speaker 2: You can add a few you can add a few things.
Speaker 2: You know. You can add a tweet here, a tweak there,
Speaker 2: but your basic running scheme says the same. You know,
Speaker 2: I hear everybody saying that change this and change that,
Speaker 2: and change this. And I'm sorry, even to the smart
Speaker 2: guys who's smarter than me. You ain't went through all
Speaker 2: of OTA's and all of training camp to wait till
Speaker 2: week six, a week seven of a season, say hey, fellows,
Speaker 2: let's change everything. You can't. You can tweak some things,
Speaker 2: you can do a few things different, but the players
Speaker 2: have the play better. You know, the players have to
Speaker 2: play better. You can't tell me that from last year
Speaker 2: to this point. Bart accept the offensive line, that our
Speaker 2: receivers and quarterbacks. You know we don't have Tony Pollard.
Speaker 2: It's things don't change that much. No, it hasn't. Guys
Speaker 2: just got to do their jobs. The focus is gonna
Speaker 2: fallo on coach McCarthy. The focus is gonna fall on
Speaker 2: Zim because of the personnel that you have have or
Speaker 2: don't have. It's gonna follow on them. I mean before
Speaker 2: the year is over with, depending on how this thing goes,
Speaker 2: depending on how many games they can squeak out. It's
Speaker 2: not gonna beautiful now. I try to tell everybody at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year, and I'm they three and three.
Speaker 2: They are overachieving, not just mine. I mean, yes, you
Speaker 2: ain't gonna beat the Ravens. You can bring the Ravens tomorrow,
Speaker 2: you ain't gonna beat them. You can bring the Ravens
Speaker 2: in his week seventeen. You ain't gonna beat them. The
Speaker 2: You're gonna have the best game of their life. In
Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints, we find we are finding out even
Speaker 2: though their quarterback hurt even though they have lost one
Speaker 2: of the key receivers. They had the best game of
Speaker 2: their life versus the Dallas Cowboys. Okay sou because they
Speaker 2: played them at home. Yeah, they can't win at home. Well, man,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go. My thing is, let fans be fans.
Speaker 2: We we we we we supposed to have a better perspective,
Speaker 2: of a more calmer perspective. Now some fans know what's
Speaker 2: going on. But like I say, when you invest like
Speaker 2: that fan, invest your money, your time, your resources, they
Speaker 2: gonna have a different opinion. But we over here who
Speaker 2: gets the money from the Cowboys, you know? And we're
Speaker 2: lucky we have an owner that allows us to say
Speaker 2: much pretty much what we want to say was not
Speaker 2: abusive here, we see.
Speaker 4: So I thought Michael Parsons dealt with it really well
Speaker 4: when he was asked about all the external stuff and
Speaker 4: everybody want to get this guy or that guy. And
Speaker 4: I'm paraphrasing, he said, he said, what can help us
Speaker 4: other than the people in this room, Meaning you can't
Speaker 4: go get this guy or that guy or add this
Speaker 4: or change that. It's like, we got to play better.
Speaker 4: We got to step up and do the job. We
Speaker 4: can't just say, okay, well we were missing this guy
Speaker 4: or we got to get that guy. And I thought
Speaker 4: it was he said, there's nothing that is going to
Speaker 4: save us unless it's ourselves. And I'm paraphrasing there. He said,
Speaker 4: we got to get healthy and we got to get
Speaker 4: everyone playing good football. And I think that's as from
Speaker 4: a practical standpoint, that's where you're at when you're what
Speaker 4: this is the seventh eighth week of the season for
Speaker 4: you all of a sudden, you don't remake yourself, right.
Speaker 2: No, you can't. You can't.
Speaker 4: I mean, and I heard a question about, well, if
Speaker 4: this goes sideways, are you going to start selling off?
Speaker 4: It's not baseball, right, these contracts count.
Speaker 3: That, and Jerry answer that question. Yes today. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: like he made the commitment to the future when he
Speaker 3: signed back.
Speaker 4: To How many teams last year made the playoffs at
Speaker 4: nine and eight, by.
Speaker 2: The way, I don't think none did well.
Speaker 4: Green Bay did one, I mean, and there was another
Speaker 4: one that just missed out it nine and eight.
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is you look at the Saints. They
Speaker 2: was right. It was a three way time in the Saints. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so they The bottom line is this, and I know
Speaker 2: we ain't thinking about off season. But every year, every
Speaker 2: team all thirty two lose at least one third of
Speaker 2: that team by free agency by a one year contract.
Speaker 2: However it goes restrict the free agency. You don't want
Speaker 2: to sign them back, you lose it. So coaches already
Speaker 2: and scouts are already banging their heads against the wall.
Speaker 2: If you get one or two guys and pay the
Speaker 2: wrong one or two guys, it's gonna put you in
Speaker 2: a tail spin. So we got a core group of guys.
Speaker 2: We just got to get them all on the same page,
Speaker 2: going in the same direction, and just hope they grow
Speaker 2: and hope the guys that are a little bit older
Speaker 2: don't deteriorate faster than what what we need them for
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 4: And how about get them on the field, yes, get
Speaker 4: them off the bend the sick bed.
Speaker 2: The thing about it is injuries. It ain't we have
Speaker 2: figured out, and a lot of teams in the league
Speaker 2: got figured out.
Speaker 3: It ain't.
Speaker 2: It ain't the first team, it's the third team.
Speaker 3: It's who do.
Speaker 2: You have do my system elevate your game when you
Speaker 2: come in, Like I think number eighteen, I can't call
Speaker 2: his name right now. The kid from lsu Clark, the
Speaker 2: mound Clark. I think he played well. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: he played well. I think he did his job. But
Speaker 2: you know, you still want Kendricks in there, you don't.
Speaker 2: You know, we don't know if he's going to be ready.
Speaker 3: It's like I'm watching on an NFL network right now.
Speaker 3: They're talking about Tua coming back and the Dolphins coming
Speaker 3: off last season. They were a picked by a lot
Speaker 3: of people to do a lot more this even this
Speaker 3: year and U and for last year too, and the
Speaker 3: last two years. I refuse to pick the Dolphins to
Speaker 3: do anything because of tous concussion history. And they did
Speaker 3: not have a second team quarterback that can come in
Speaker 3: and win games for you last year or this year.
Speaker 3: And the same thing at other positions. You have to
Speaker 3: have backups who can come in and be functional for
Speaker 3: you to be able to win games.
Speaker 4: And anyway, not everybody has arch Manning as their backup quarterback.
Speaker 3: And he performed just like the starter. I guess, Georgia,
Speaker 3: I guess the NFL team, all right. When we come
Speaker 3: back here on mix Shots, Jerry responds to Troy Aikman's take,
Speaker 3: and apparently the same kind of thing is going on
Speaker 3: in the Bay Area, making explains next.

Speaker 3: Jerry was asked about Joy Aikman's criticism of the Cowboys
Speaker 3: wide receivers route running, and Jerry said, Troy knows football,
Speaker 3: he lives it. Troy's credible and should be. He's very professional.
Speaker 3: I think he's very fair. I'm pretty confident that we've
Speaker 3: got the ability to coach, and we got some receivers
Speaker 3: that take the coaching and can't improve, and that's the
Speaker 3: big thing improve.
Speaker 4: He went on to talk about a lot of man
Speaker 4: coverage and guys running through contact. Yeah, and you know,
Speaker 4: and I think you know, without Brandon Cooks out there,
Speaker 4: it's Ceedee Lamb and a bunch of young guys. Now,
Speaker 4: I know Tolbert's in his third year, but this is
Speaker 4: his first year. They've relied on him. And after that,
Speaker 4: it's guys that was a special teams guy that they're
Speaker 4: trying to move into a receiver Turpin Jalen Brooks is
Speaker 4: in his second year. Floor Noy's a rookie floy and uh,
Speaker 4: well he should get rid of the art. And you
Speaker 4: got a lot of young receivers that are being relied on,
Speaker 4: and it sometimes it takes time. That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 2: I'm glad. I'm so glad they're playing.
Speaker 4: Right because at some point it's gonna pay off. Correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm just glad that, you know, I'm glad
Speaker 2: that every young guys playing that's that's getting the opportunity
Speaker 2: because that just puts you. Uh and I know this
Speaker 2: year has to be played out. We don't know what
Speaker 2: the record, the final record is going to say. But
Speaker 2: whenever it's a chance for a young guy to play,
Speaker 2: I'm for that because I think you got to control
Speaker 2: how things go as an organization. And what I mean
Speaker 2: by that is you cannot play your young guys, and
Speaker 2: then then then you know a lot of people say
Speaker 2: the window is closing. You cannot play young guys and
Speaker 2: let this win of the close. And now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, you three four years trying to get back
Speaker 2: to twelve and five, even to the playoffs basically like
Speaker 2: hanging out with Yeah, I rather, I'd rather kind of
Speaker 2: control that narrative. And I know, in the middle of
Speaker 2: a season talking doom and gloom and that's not right.
Speaker 2: I mean, we should be pumping the fans up, getting
Speaker 2: them excited, you know. But the reality is it is
Speaker 2: what it is. I mean, thanks to Parcels. You know,
Speaker 2: it is what it is.
Speaker 4: You are who you are. Yeah, okay, So what's going
Speaker 4: on in San Francis San Francisco after losing to the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: Jerry Rice age sixty two, he has radio segments there.
Speaker 3: Well, just age you have to do with it.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to say he was a former player.
Speaker 3: You wanted to say how young he was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. And he went off on his radio
Speaker 4: segment after the loss to the Chiefs basically said if
Speaker 4: that was us losing like that, we would have been
Speaker 4: swinging at each other. He didn't have anything constructive to
Speaker 4: say except that they should be mad and furious, and
Speaker 4: he never pointed out the fact that, guess what, they
Speaker 4: got some injury problems and they're compounding I didn't realize this,
Speaker 4: but before the game even started, and we knew Christian
Speaker 4: McCaffrey had been out since Week two with achilles tendonitis
Speaker 4: calf injury, and he's probably not ready to come back
Speaker 4: this week either. There is see a bye next week
Speaker 4: and they're looking at that. But they had lost a linebacker,
Speaker 4: Dre Greenlaw with a torn achilles.
Speaker 3: At the Super Bowl coming off the bench.
Speaker 4: Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has torn triceps, and safety Telenoah
Speaker 4: Hufanga had torn wrist injury, torn ligaments in his wrist.
Speaker 4: So those guys were.
Speaker 3: Out, and mccaffery's been out all year.
Speaker 4: Right, they finally put him on I think it was
Speaker 4: week two when he.
Speaker 3: Went to Germany to get some treatment there.
Speaker 4: And oh, that's right. Their kicker Jake Moody has been
Speaker 4: missing with an injury, and then they go into the
Speaker 4: game and they end up losing Ayuk. They're basically top
Speaker 4: receiver Juwan Jennings, who had the most catches for him,
Speaker 4: has been out with a hip. He missed the Chiefs
Speaker 4: game and he's probably no more than questionable for this game.
Speaker 4: And then Deebo Samuel goes out what four snaps into
Speaker 4: the game, and we find out yesterday he's in the
Speaker 4: hospital with.
Speaker 3: Pneumonia fluid on his lungs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're not sure how quickly can you get
Speaker 4: over that in play, So there's a chance they could
Speaker 4: be without their top three receivers. They're leading running back,
Speaker 4: and I know Mason is running well for them, but
Speaker 4: McCaffrey adds different things to them in the passing game.
Speaker 3: So Kittle's dealing with an injury too.
Speaker 4: And Kittle is day to day with a spraying foot
Speaker 4: by the way, So they're looking at and we talked
Speaker 4: about it yesterday. Ricky Pearsall's back playing, Jacob Cowing, Ronnie
Speaker 4: Bell and their other receiver, Chris Connelly's day to day
Speaker 4: with an ankle. So they've got some injuries that they've
Speaker 4: got to be able to overcome. No different than what
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are facing defensively with their top four defensive
Speaker 4: ends out and then they miss Kendricks in the game,
Speaker 4: no Deron Bland, no Klin Carson. It injuries matter, and
Speaker 4: it goes back to what Nate was saying, you're second
Speaker 4: and third team guys better be able to play well.
Speaker 4: When you're spending all your money to keep your stars,
Speaker 4: it's hard to keep depth on the team unless you're
Speaker 4: developing young guys to be able to play. So they're
Speaker 4: in the kind of same situation. Oh.
Speaker 3: By the way, I.
Speaker 4: Ran into Sam Williams yesterday torn achilles in training camp.
Speaker 4: It was funny. I saw this guy walk into the
Speaker 4: locker room and I don't think I've seen him since
Speaker 4: training camp, right, And I was like, that guy looks familiar.
Speaker 2: Who is that right?
Speaker 4: Just like that, and it's like, oh, it's Sam Williams.
Speaker 4: So I saw him walking around. I said, well, how
Speaker 4: you doing and he goes, I'm moving. I'm finally off
Speaker 4: my crutches. He had the surgery to repair his torn ACL.
Speaker 4: I think it was an MCL too. Told me that
Speaker 4: was the first injury he had ever had in his
Speaker 4: football career and that he wasn't sure how to deal
Speaker 4: with it. And he said the saving well, one of
Speaker 4: the positives out of it. He said, I got to
Speaker 4: spend time. I believe he's got a son, right, and
Speaker 4: he got to spend time with his son and get
Speaker 4: to know him and everything because he was at home.
Speaker 4: And I said, so what are you able to do?
Speaker 4: And he goes, well, walking's pretty good, he said, I
Speaker 4: haven't really run yet. He said, but you know, I'm
Speaker 4: going to start pretty soon on the Resistant chords and
Speaker 4: that he told me, And I said, I bet you
Speaker 4: can't wait to get back and he said, you put
Speaker 4: this in your notes right now, because I wasn't taking notes.
Speaker 4: He said, next year is revenge here. I'm getting back
Speaker 4: at everybody. So anyway, quick update on Sam Williams, but
Speaker 4: that really hurt them on that defensive front. You lose him,
Speaker 4: you lose DeMarcus Lawrence, you lose Michaeh Parsons. And then
Speaker 4: the guy that you were grooming, one of your young guys,
Speaker 4: Marshawn Neeland, goes out and is in on ir probably
Speaker 4: till around Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: And you'd already lost Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler and
Speaker 3: Free Agency.
Speaker 4: Who, by the way, return interception for a touchdown first
Speaker 4: time and.
Speaker 2: His moves in the car me in the wife, she said,
Speaker 2: I know that I know that name. Where do we
Speaker 2: remember him from? I said, just leave it alone.
Speaker 3: He was only getting about twelve snaps of game here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So from an injury standpoint, uh Micah has been
Speaker 4: working on the Resistance cords. As he said, I've got
Speaker 4: to show that I've got acceleration. And he goes and
Speaker 4: the coaches and the trainers want to make sure if
Speaker 4: I come back, I'm at my best. And he said, so,
Speaker 4: it's still up in the air. We'll see where that
Speaker 4: one goes. I think Doron Bland is more realistic to
Speaker 4: be back. He worked out and and it was run
Speaker 4: really well last week before the Detroit game. I guess
Speaker 4: two weeks ago. And he woke up on Friday and
Speaker 4: his foot was sore. It was his first practice since
Speaker 4: the surgery.
Speaker 3: So, and that's why Jerry basically this morning said it's
Speaker 3: going to be a game time.
Speaker 4: They've got they got a practice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then see how they are the next.
Speaker 4: Saturday, and then see how they are on Sunday exactly. Uh.
Speaker 3: And and Kendricks uh.
Speaker 4: Is running so uh, I think there's somewhat It's a
Speaker 4: shoulder for him, right, it was a shoulder. There was
Speaker 4: two things I think we're going on.
Speaker 3: He's a metal linebacker several he needs.
Speaker 4: Them shoulders, right, So it looks like he has a
Speaker 4: chance also, So yeah, I mean you've got to rely
Speaker 4: on young guys to come and step up, and there's
Speaker 4: going to be growing pains until these guys all get
Speaker 4: back on the field.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: Two ways about it.
Speaker 2: The thing able one person. Two people will pay for this.
Speaker 2: If the Cowboys have a real bad season, it's two people.
Speaker 2: It's Coach MacCarthy is coaches them. So but by the
Speaker 2: same token, if they can pull these guys together and
Speaker 2: make some things happen, two people get rewarded. I mean,
Speaker 2: along with Michael Parsons. You know, it'll be couse them
Speaker 2: and it'll be Coach McCarthy.
Speaker 3: So so the future starts. Now, yeah, those guys.
Speaker 2: That's right. The three and three is zero and zero,
Speaker 2: so three and three, so.
Speaker 3: Many others of this roster. All right, we continue with
Speaker 3: big shots in a moment.

Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: I said, what yesterday? What was that witness the biggest
Speaker 4: boxing event in modern history.
Speaker 3: Not taken away from that as a huge event, yes,
Speaker 3: but I would like to know when did modern history start?
Speaker 3: Because in sports, basically we go back to World War
Speaker 3: two as ever, like for records, it's the biggest thing
Speaker 3: that's happened or the most touchdown score in the game since,
Speaker 3: or the NFL since the merger nineteen seventy okay, and
Speaker 3: on other sports it's back to baseball, it's back to
Speaker 3: World War two or whatever. All right, So when did
Speaker 3: modern history start? When did the alive fights fall off
Speaker 3: the map? And they're now ancient history?
Speaker 4: So probably are we talking the turning winded sentry?
Speaker 3: When did sugar ray? And yeah, man, that's that's no
Speaker 3: longer modern history.
Speaker 4: Right, No, no turn of the century.
Speaker 3: Okay, so well let's word it that way. It's the
Speaker 3: biggest of the.
Speaker 4: Century, yeah, or pre and post COVID.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't get into that one. So, man, in
Speaker 2: today's world is yesterday, I'm with history. History is yeah
Speaker 2: this season, Yes it is, yes, it is. I'm not
Speaker 2: going out.
Speaker 3: We need so it gets to the point modern histories
Speaker 3: this week. It also needs whatever you did, whatever you
Speaker 3: did last week, Okay, it's a good week. Now you've
Speaker 3: got to do it again on Sunday.
Speaker 4: We have some editing here to do too.
Speaker 3: Well, you're a journalist.
Speaker 4: In modern history at Netflix. And then it's and.
Speaker 3: I'll work on you. You fix it, if you if you'd
Speaker 3: show up in the studio.
Speaker 4: Before to go earlier, I'm reading about Jerry Rice getting
Speaker 4: onto the forty nine.
Speaker 3: Ers right now. Read the read what you can't read
Speaker 3: off your legal patent.
Speaker 4: Okay, here's everybody keeps asking about this five game stretch
Speaker 4: right which.
Speaker 3: Had a lot easier. You got a lot easier Sunday
Speaker 3: because the Niners lost and the Falcons lost. They got
Speaker 3: blown out at home by Seattle.
Speaker 4: So four of the five teams they've got coming up
Speaker 4: have winning records. The irony of it is the only
Speaker 4: team with a losing record is San Francisco at three
Speaker 4: and four, Atlanta's four and three, Phillies four and two,
Speaker 4: Houston's five and two, and Washington's five and two. Those
Speaker 4: five teams are combined twenty one and thirteen. Three of
Speaker 4: them are in second place and two are in fourth place.
Speaker 4: So that's the road the Cowboys got to travel here
Speaker 4: over this month plus of the season.
Speaker 3: Okay, so the first the five teams, how many are
Speaker 3: in first place?
Speaker 4: Two of them Houston and Washington.
Speaker 3: And Atlanta is tied for first because Tampa Bay of
Speaker 3: last night. Yes, that's right, because Tampa Bay.
Speaker 4: So they're tied for So.
Speaker 3: There's three of the five are in first place. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then the other teams are San Francisco and.
Speaker 4: Philadelphia and San Francisco of all things, three and four
Speaker 4: Cowboys three and three, they're third in the NFC East.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 4: The other thing of those five teams, all five are
Speaker 4: ranked in the top eleven in total offense. Twelve is
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys, but that only pertains two yards total yards.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the Cowboys are sitting here at three and
Speaker 3: three right now, and the Eagles are four and two
Speaker 3: and the Commanders are five and two. Commanders play the
Speaker 3: Bears at home. I think the Commanders are gonna win,
Speaker 3: and it depends on Jalen Daniels' health.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, absolutely, although Marcus Mariota didn't have a bad
Speaker 4: game and his replacement.
Speaker 3: So let's say the Commanders win. That makes them six
Speaker 3: and two, and the Eagles are playing at Cincinnati. Okay,
Speaker 3: even though the Bengals have a poor.
Speaker 4: Record three and four, three and four, right.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's say the Eagles win, that makes them five
Speaker 3: and two. Okay, I'm just I'm getting at the importance
Speaker 3: of the San Francisco game. Yeah, So you're sitting there.
Speaker 4: From a perspective standpoint of immediately at the end of
Speaker 4: the day on Sunday, if you don't win this game
Speaker 4: against San Francisco, you could be two games back at
Speaker 4: the Eagles and two and a half games.
Speaker 3: Back of the Commanders. Basically at the halfway point of
Speaker 3: the season.
Speaker 2: You know, I know, is game by game and you
Speaker 2: have to win. But uh, the only thing counts the East,
Speaker 2: That's right, that's the only thing you gotta You gotta
Speaker 2: win your division. You got to win it, I mean.
Speaker 3: And the fortunate thing is you've only played one division
Speaker 3: game so far.
Speaker 2: Yes, you got that Isna and Grace, you know, for
Speaker 2: everybody's split cannot be what you're thinking. Ah man, we
Speaker 2: can split. Ah win your division, That's right.
Speaker 3: That is how you especially this year because of what's
Speaker 3: going on in that NFC North where you got everybody
Speaker 3: with a winning record and so that it looks like
Speaker 3: the wild cards are all coming out of that division.
Speaker 2: So you got to take care home business you got.
Speaker 2: You got to take care of your backyard. And I
Speaker 2: don't care how you do it. You just got to take
Speaker 2: care of your backyard because that is where you at,
Speaker 2: and you got as where you at.
Speaker 4: You got five of those games left, and four of
Speaker 4: them with the two teams.
Speaker 2: Yes ahead of you. Yes, you can fight any way
Speaker 2: you want to fight, but fight the easiest path. That is.
Speaker 2: We know we're gonna play the Eagles twice. We're gonna
Speaker 2: play the Giants one more time. We're gonna play Washington twice.
Speaker 2: We know what we're facing. Take care of those guys.
Speaker 4: And you know what, by time maybe Washington shows up,
Speaker 4: what do we talk November? We're getting close to thanks.
Speaker 3: With the Washington game is Sunday, Thanksgiving, Sunday before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: You got the Giants on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: You might be starting to get some of these guys
Speaker 4: off ir back.
Speaker 3: By then, meaning like the law, the law.
Speaker 2: I when Tuma I just say that you were talking
Speaker 2: about that, isn't that a Mexican food? That's what he said. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The bottom line is, and uh please fans, don't get
Speaker 2: mad at me, but play these young guys play them, And.
Speaker 3: So the key this week is getting in your opinion,
Speaker 3: the key this week is getting guided.
Speaker 2: Getting guided back getting unless and this is not going
Speaker 2: to happen, and unless you think TJ. Bass is a
Speaker 2: much better guard than his tackle. If you think TJ.
Speaker 2: Bass is a much better guard, then that's right.
Speaker 3: So you're comparing, okay, because Tyler's because of Tyler Smith's versatility. Okay,
Speaker 3: the word you feel like the coaches have to determine,
Speaker 3: are they a better offensive line?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: With TJ. Bassett left guard where Tyler Guidon at left tackle.
Speaker 2: That's right. So if you're gonna do that, And now.
Speaker 4: Does Tyler Smith fit into any of that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the swing guy. I don't whether he wanted
Speaker 2: to be it or not.
Speaker 3: But the difference in Tyler Smith that tackle and Tyler
Speaker 3: Smith at guard.
Speaker 2: It's always been a big difference in me.
Speaker 3: But he's all that plays to Guidon's favor.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, it does. Uh. One thing that people
Speaker 2: never knew about I don't want to respect about Tyler
Speaker 2: Smith is he's built for guard. His mentality is built
Speaker 2: for guard. He's a maller, he likes to he likes
Speaker 2: to wrestle. He likes to get in there and muck
Speaker 2: it up. Guard fits him perfect, you know, getting out
Speaker 2: there at the tackle position where he has the feet
Speaker 2: and the hips to do it. But he likes, you know,
Speaker 2: he wants.
Speaker 3: To he wants to engage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wants to engage, and you're taking a little
Speaker 2: bit away from him.
Speaker 4: Uh And and you would have two veterans sandwiching the rookies.
Speaker 2: The rookie. I think the rookie has been holding on
Speaker 2: pretty good. Yeah, you know, thank god man, I mean
Speaker 2: and that you know people, well, he ain't saying much,
Speaker 2: but Coach McCarthy said, we're not way Detroit. That we
Speaker 2: ain't know where the where Detroit at. But you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to go through your growing pains. And they are
Speaker 2: playing these young guys, and I promise you I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. I'm mad when we lose, when
Speaker 2: it looks so ugly, I'm mad. But I've been on
Speaker 2: that that end of the stick.
Speaker 4: But you just start swinging at guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been one in thirteen three and you know,
Speaker 2: I mean one in fifteen three and three and thirteen
Speaker 2: and I'm not saying these cowboys are better than that.
Speaker 2: These cowboys are better than that. But I've been in
Speaker 2: the dumps with nobody. Actually, you can't go out and
Speaker 2: get a free beer and that, and you know, and.
Speaker 4: Nate got away before five and eleven showed up.
Speaker 3: That's what you were drinking on Thursday. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe what really happened what Randy White told you? The
Speaker 3: team started playing better. Okay, there we go.
Speaker 4: The bell just went off on you'll try.
Speaker 3: I gotta get going, all right, appreciate it. Nate's back
Speaker 3: again tomorrow.
Speaker 6: No I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not. Oh no, yeah, but tom.
Speaker 3: Tomm okay, yeah, Irrish, all right, very good. We've appreciated
