Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick
Speaker 1: shot screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. And here we are the morning after
Speaker 1: hi noon on a Monday, inside the s WBC podcast studio,
Speaker 1: and the next forty five minutes we'll be filled with
Speaker 1: one mix shot after another. I can just feel it.
Speaker 1: We have we have no song this morning. And what's
Speaker 1: the deal? Oh no, you've been up. I can't play
Speaker 1: that song. Not play that song? Thank you Chris for
Speaker 1: now we can't play. That's the song for today, colle.
Speaker 1: What happen is for today? That is the theme for today.
Speaker 1: What happened? I am pissed? Oh oh yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1: Wall shots here pretty much the same as yours. Pretty
Speaker 1: much the same as yours. We're gonna have some situational
Speaker 1: awareness though on this show five minutes. Okay, there is
Speaker 1: some situational awareness that didn't happen last night that will
Speaker 1: be corrected in team meetings. And I think one of
Speaker 1: the biggest things is it is a it's still very
Speaker 1: early in this season, that's right. And at the end
Speaker 1: of the night last night, I'm sitting there thinking the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is coming back. Um, I can vouge for that.
Speaker 1: Because I stood on the sideline during his twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five minute throwing session and I was thinking, I'm sure
Speaker 1: glad I'm not out there one. They're trying to catch
Speaker 1: his passes bare hands because he is spinning the ball
Speaker 1: and accurately, by the way I was. I didn't count,
Speaker 1: but I saw two passes he threw over receiver's head.
Speaker 1: That was it. The ball was not hitting the ground,
Speaker 1: and he was throwing it with as he said. When
Speaker 1: I talked to him when he walked off, did you
Speaker 1: shake his hand? No, I didn't. I looked at it, though,
Speaker 1: and he showed me the athletic tape he had on
Speaker 1: his hand that he was throwing with and he was
Speaker 1: taking snaps from center. By the way, okay, these are
Speaker 1: these are things that we needed to see you before
Speaker 1: we approved him heading back out into combat. And he
Speaker 1: said if he couldn't throw with his normal velocity, he
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been throwing. So he was firing the ball
Speaker 1: he took about I want to say, ten snaps from
Speaker 1: center from the ten yard line and shotgun and throwing
Speaker 1: fades and back shoulders. He's hitting almost I think he
Speaker 1: missed one that was it. Well, you know those are
Speaker 1: hard throws. They just say what they want about Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: but his fade routes. Uh well, Marie Cooper, Michael Gallup
Speaker 1: baking the test to his ability to throw the faith
Speaker 1: and he hadn't lost the ability, and uh he said.
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, so did you pass inspection?
Speaker 1: He goes, well, who's inspecting? And I said, well, I was,
Speaker 1: and he goes, I was an A, but I need
Speaker 1: to get to an A plus. Yeah, And so I
Speaker 1: would have met. And McCarthy said after the game that
Speaker 1: you know, they've got a plan for him come Thursday,
Speaker 1: because they're not prat He's given them Wednesday, basically giving
Speaker 1: them a couple of days off it you know what
Speaker 1: and what I forgot. And when I was doing one
Speaker 1: of those uh you know, preseason preview shows, somebody asked
Speaker 1: me about the hard part in the schedule, and I said,
Speaker 1: early in the season, they've got to play three or
Speaker 1: four games on the road, and they've got to go
Speaker 1: coast to coast to coast, three games on the coast,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it proved very difficult this night, getting off
Speaker 1: to that slow start and just uncharacteristically turning the ball
Speaker 1: over the defense, giving up more touchdowns in a quarter
Speaker 1: almost than in any game they had during the season.
Speaker 1: They gave up four with Cooper Rush starting, they gave
Speaker 1: up three in that first quarter. Before you go on,
Speaker 1: let's add we went back to the same m O.
Speaker 1: Too many penalties in situations and it wasn't just the amount,
Speaker 1: it was when they happened, right, You can't have that
Speaker 1: happened during the comeback. You can't have that happen when
Speaker 1: trying to keep ourselves in within southing distance of the leader. Right,
Speaker 1: And we start with that here, just saying on your
Speaker 1: point about where they are basically in their season. And
Speaker 1: now you've gotten through the first six games and five
Speaker 1: of those starts with your backup quarterback went four and
Speaker 1: one in those games. The other part of it that
Speaker 1: they are through right now when you look when you
Speaker 1: compare Dallas and Philadelphia and the schedule, because there are
Speaker 1: three games on the schedule where because Dallas finished in
Speaker 1: first place last year, they've got a tougher schedule than Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and right now, the Cowboys are through those three games,
Speaker 1: those three games for Dallas, Tampa Bay which was a loss, Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: which was a win, and at the Rams, which was
Speaker 1: a win. Okay, so you're talking about the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: champion from two years ago, the Super Bowl champion from
Speaker 1: last year, and the Super Bowl runner up from last year.
Speaker 1: And so the Cowboys went two and one during that stretch.
Speaker 1: All right, you look ahead to Philadelphia and here are
Speaker 1: their three games that they play that the Cowboys don't play,
Speaker 1: and one was against Arizona, which was a win last week,
Speaker 1: and then they've got Pittsburgh and New Orleans is the
Speaker 1: other one. And so there's the difference. And they haven't
Speaker 1: played Pittsburgh and New Orleans yet. But anyway, but unfortunately
Speaker 1: it's Pittsburgh, Houston, Washington, the Colts, Packers, but the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are playing those other team. But these are the teams,
Speaker 1: these are the teams that the Cowboys aren't playing, the
Speaker 1: Eagles are playing whatever. So what I'm getting at is
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are through that tougher portion of their schedule
Speaker 1: and they had to play and they won two of
Speaker 1: those games with a backup quarterback. Now, when you look
Speaker 1: ahead to the Cowboys schedule for the next four weeks,
Speaker 1: they're playing the NFC North, it's all NFC North, it's Detroit,
Speaker 1: it's Chicago, it's Green Bay, it's Minnesota, back to back.
Speaker 1: They got a Thanksgiving game against the Giants, and then
Speaker 1: basically it's all AFC South. All the teams in the
Speaker 1: division are playing that. So it's really simplified what the
Speaker 1: Cowboys need to do, and you almost put it in
Speaker 1: quadrants of the season of the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: Now to the penalties, and we start with the first
Speaker 1: major penalty in this game. And when I talk about
Speaker 1: situational awareness, you have to have better situational awareness than
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys did on the last play of the
Speaker 1: first quarter, when it was obvious that the Eagles were
Speaker 1: not running a play. The clock is ticking down and
Speaker 1: all they're trying to do is draw you off side,
Speaker 1: and that was a four point penalty. It was yeah,
Speaker 1: the quarter was running, the quarters running out. They are
Speaker 1: not running a play. The only thing they're going to
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. They're hard counting you and they're
Speaker 1: trying to get you to jump into the neutral zone.
Speaker 1: Which is why Jordan may loot It reacted so quickly
Speaker 1: when Dante Fowler went of the new they're just baiting you,
Speaker 1: and you took the bait. Well, the nuance of that
Speaker 1: was the motion they had did the heart account with
Speaker 1: the motion, right, So when he saw that, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's paying attention to the ball and this guy has
Speaker 1: moving but oh I just saw somebody. But you have
Speaker 1: to pay the most attention to the situation and understand
Speaker 1: what they're truth they're doing. And well it's how they
Speaker 1: did it, which was kind yeah, it was kind of.
Speaker 1: It was good with the motion, which once he saw
Speaker 1: that twitch, then he went, that's just you know, but
Speaker 1: they'll find the sucker. You can find, so find the
Speaker 1: sucker in every defense. Okay. So there's a four point
Speaker 1: play right there, and as it turned out, great disparity
Speaker 1: ten penalties in the Cowboys two yeah, two for two
Speaker 1: yards against the Eagles. Yeah, but I mean there's one
Speaker 1: you had in your control, Brian, you know, and and
Speaker 1: then the other, uh, the other situation. The other thing
Speaker 1: at the end of the night last night that I'm
Speaker 1: looking at is Okay, the CD LAMB first downplay, and
Speaker 1: it was evident watching on television that it appeared that
Speaker 1: he got to the line, and it was very easy
Speaker 1: to figure out where the line is because it started
Speaker 1: the drive started at the twenty five yard line. It's
Speaker 1: no gray area on are you is the first down
Speaker 1: marker in between two yard lines? No, you get to
Speaker 1: that white stripe. And the only question from our viewpoint
Speaker 1: watching on TV because we're blocked, is did a knee
Speaker 1: hit the ground before the stretch? And obviously on the replay,
Speaker 1: it was clear he got the first half and McCarthy
Speaker 1: was told I got the knee down before he reached out,
Speaker 1: okay the official, So that's what the officials said. They
Speaker 1: told him that and he never got a chance to
Speaker 1: see and he said they hadn't done a replay, and
Speaker 1: he goes, there was no way I was going to
Speaker 1: get one seconds. Well, they need yeah, they didn't need
Speaker 1: to show. They have a TV monitor and the coaches
Speaker 1: both Kent didn't get I don't think it got on TV.
Speaker 1: That's right because it wasn't. It wasn't showed it. That's
Speaker 1: right because it then the reason I didn't get on
Speaker 1: TV because the Cowboys were going turbo there, right exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what McCarty explained, and he goes, we already had
Speaker 1: the play called. We got to the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: and I didn't get a replay. So it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: that's what I can't remember if he said, he said
Speaker 1: or she said the female official. I think it was
Speaker 1: the female official. I think on that one. But she
Speaker 1: had the it was it definitely was it definitely was.
Speaker 1: She had the correct spot for what she saw, yes,
Speaker 1: but but is that her call or not? Because if
Speaker 1: she if she has the correct spot, then go buy
Speaker 1: that spot. Well, I deferred to the guy on the
Speaker 1: other side of the say, and the guy on the
Speaker 1: other side of the field was on our side, yes,
Speaker 1: and I could not see. And I think he was
Speaker 1: marking based on what she was marking when they did
Speaker 1: not based on what she marked. No, No, she marked
Speaker 1: it ahead. She marked it first down he came here.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I thought she had it. Okay, everybody,
Speaker 1: I'm out. Then I didn't. I didn't realize she had
Speaker 1: it marked. She had it marked correctly, And that's where
Speaker 1: the confusion came. Then when the other guy came from
Speaker 1: the other side, you could clearly see he was behind
Speaker 1: the line. He was behind that that mark okay, and
Speaker 1: for some reason all the confusion, she decides to defer
Speaker 1: to him. I got you. So that would have been
Speaker 1: the side the side judge because she was the down judge,
Speaker 1: so who has saw her by Alan Bain, who has
Speaker 1: priority when it comes up, she would have had the
Speaker 1: better look at it. That's right, because my side you're blocked,
Speaker 1: which is the TV side, you're blocked on it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but once again you have to go buy you know,
Speaker 1: pecking order. There's a pecking order. Does she call it,
Speaker 1: does the lock down lineman call it, or does a
Speaker 1: side judge call it? So so here here's the other
Speaker 1: part of that. What happened in that playoff game in
Speaker 1: Minnesota to the Saints. Right, the guy closest to it
Speaker 1: had the call, but he was a young official and
Speaker 1: the veteran guy came down and waved his butt off. Okay,
Speaker 1: you got the bad spot. Okay, you don't have to
Speaker 1: go turbo there. You don't have to. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: at your own thirty four yard line, you're trailing fourteen
Speaker 1: to nothing. But there is a decision to be made
Speaker 1: about are we going for it on And obviously they
Speaker 1: made the decision to go for it. They made the
Speaker 1: decision before they ran the third down play. They're going
Speaker 1: they're getting this first down if they're close, and they
Speaker 1: needed to. By the way, Yeah, okay, so I know
Speaker 1: I'm yelling at my TV saying, challenge it as it happened.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, okay, And I know a lot
Speaker 1: of other people were. I would assume that there were
Speaker 1: people on the Cowboys headset saying the same thing. And
Speaker 1: you said that the officials said I had the knee down,
Speaker 1: and so that's why they go, he said, normally when
Speaker 1: they tell me that, they're not changing. So my question
Speaker 1: to you and to you, is it worth a challenge? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: yes it is. It was. But he went off of
Speaker 1: his his history of when they tell you that frances are,
Speaker 1: you're not. But that still doesn't negate the ability to change. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know, and yeah they can be what they are,
Speaker 1: but we are what we are and I think want
Speaker 1: that call, We want that spot. And here's the here's
Speaker 1: the deal on it. If it's early in the game, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe you don't want to challenge whatever, But if your
Speaker 1: decision is that you're going to go for it. If
Speaker 1: if it's spotted there and you're not challenging, then I
Speaker 1: think you got a challenge. You have to because if if,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna punt, if your decision is to punt,
Speaker 1: then maybe it's not worth a challenge. Okay, but you
Speaker 1: even though, even though you wouldn't want to challenge. But
Speaker 1: if you're a particulous situation on the field, if if
Speaker 1: that's if, if your goal is to get this first down,
Speaker 1: then use every resource you can get to get that
Speaker 1: first you want you want to be at least close
Speaker 1: to midfield when you make a play like that, because
Speaker 1: the alternative on that is and the Eagles have not
Speaker 1: driven the length of the field on you. You've given
Speaker 1: them the ball in your own end of the field
Speaker 1: a couple of times, okay, and um, the alternative on
Speaker 1: that is your punters as is putting the ball sixty
Speaker 1: yards and so you're flipping the field on them. Yes,
Speaker 1: if you decide to punt on fourth and inches. So anyway, anyway,
Speaker 1: at the end of the night, four points on the
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler off sides and then they got they went
Speaker 1: one yard four places, kicked the field goal, and so
Speaker 1: you basically handed them three points there so there are
Speaker 1: seven points that make a difference at the end of
Speaker 1: that game. There are other field goal came off a turnover.
Speaker 1: I figured out the Cowboys handed them nine point nine
Speaker 1: or point and points they didn't if you think about it,
Speaker 1: he's throwing a touchdown pass this to Cede Lamb in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Yeah, it's a touchdown and he gets hit. Yes,
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham, we talked about him last week about what
Speaker 1: are they going to do with this guy? To that
Speaker 1: point in the game, all he had was an assisted tackle.
Speaker 1: He had zero doubts. And then he gets his only
Speaker 1: quarterback hit on that play and he's wide open, he's
Speaker 1: going and the ball just kind of flutters. You could
Speaker 1: tell as he released it he knew it, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: we knew that he was. It was no you know
Speaker 1: that you can always knitpick a little bit one thing
Speaker 1: that you see. Of course, in losses you see things,
Speaker 1: yeah that you don't that you're blind to what other
Speaker 1: otherwise wins. And when you see his release, it's just
Speaker 1: a little laborers. It's slow, methodical, and that you know,
Speaker 1: if you'll come up against a good defense, then that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem. That tale is gonna show and
Speaker 1: it showed a couple of times last night when the
Speaker 1: Blitzers were coming. You need a little bit quicker release,
Speaker 1: get it out fast. But you know, he's got to
Speaker 1: be who he is, and it's been working for him
Speaker 1: all this time, a slow release because ever Everson Walls
Speaker 1: will jump on that round. You're damn right. Well, you're
Speaker 1: damn right. And I would like to say they jumped
Speaker 1: on as routes and the interceptions, but you know what,
Speaker 1: those guys were never open. I don't know they want
Speaker 1: I don't know what he saw. What did I tell you?
Speaker 1: These guys can cover? Man, They talked about it last
Speaker 1: I don't know if he figured the one, though's gonna
Speaker 1: be very what's the worst thing for a quarterback? When
Speaker 1: the ball gets tipped up in the air, man, that's
Speaker 1: an interception. Yeah, And and that was the difference in
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks playlist, right, It was taking a risk.
Speaker 1: Hurts didn't play. He didn't well, and I think he
Speaker 1: didn't have to. Yeah, it was all very simplified for him.
Speaker 1: And and so this is a game that you wanted
Speaker 1: it to be three nothing, you know, seven Let them
Speaker 1: make the exactly right the way the first quarter was
Speaker 1: playing out. It's a nothing, nothing game, and it's I mean,
Speaker 1: it was going to be one of those grinded out games,
Speaker 1: and you cannot afford to have the interceptions in your
Speaker 1: own end of the field like that. The only time
Speaker 1: he had pressure on him was when it got to
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen and he handled it. They drove seventy five
Speaker 1: yards on better prior to that. Prior to that, that's
Speaker 1: where you saw some flaws and hurts, yea, because he
Speaker 1: was about to turn it over there, right, and you
Speaker 1: saw the pressure building from our defensive standpoint, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we started to put the pressure on him, and that
Speaker 1: that's when you're like, Okay, here it comes. You know
Speaker 1: that was gonna happen. But like you said, he came
Speaker 1: out with that great. They had like three consecutive third
Speaker 1: down conversions, and he was starting to use his legs
Speaker 1: and they're starting to run the ball, right, they were
Speaker 1: starting to run the ball, and they knew they knew
Speaker 1: what they had to do. I mean, we both looked
Speaker 1: like mirror teams of each other. Yeah, and how we
Speaker 1: were approaching the game, especially in the third quarter, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think we talked about it on Friday it's
Speaker 1: like you never play a perfect game, but this one
Speaker 1: had to be as close to perfect I think to
Speaker 1: go on to stay in and win. Yes, right, yes,
Speaker 1: And they they did things out of character. They did
Speaker 1: three turnovers, the penalties the first half, inability to run
Speaker 1: the football, uh not fall behind where you had to
Speaker 1: play catch up with your backup quarterback. Um, those were
Speaker 1: all the things that they had followed in those they
Speaker 1: forced us to do things with Cooper that we don't
Speaker 1: usually do with it, that you don't want to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then trying to throw the ball deep, leaving in
Speaker 1: with third and long way too many times, and even
Speaker 1: with a lead, the Eagles were getting lured into that.
Speaker 1: In the third quarter, the Cowboys had cut it to
Speaker 1: twenty to ten and that was and then the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: had the possession where they started, they were throwing the
Speaker 1: ball and that's where Parsons almost had the interception in
Speaker 1: coverage and he got the penalty for the personal or
Speaker 1: for the unsportsmanlike conduct, whatever you call it. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then uh so Hurts almost threw a pick there and
Speaker 1: then he got sacked by Fowler on a third and
Speaker 1: seven play and forced him to punt. And then so
Speaker 1: they were getting out of their game plan there, okay.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys then go on the ninety three yard drive
Speaker 1: to make it a twenty to seventeen game. And then
Speaker 1: they went back to the running the game when ninety
Speaker 1: three yard drive because they got a hold on a
Speaker 1: kickoff return that had no business that cost him forty yards.
Speaker 1: The guy was he wasn't even holding. The guy was
Speaker 1: trying to go. He was spinning away. His hands up
Speaker 1: and the guy's spinning he did a revolution. I don't understand,

Speaker 1: we headed next with your mix shots? I got my
Speaker 1: mix shots in the first segment. What about it picks
Speaker 1: to click? Yeah? What about him? Yeah? My Cooper rush
Speaker 1: didn't work out too Nope. I think Ryan was okay,
Speaker 1: but I shouldn't have specified. I had Zeke with receptions.
Speaker 1: I don't think he caught one ball, Yeah he did one.
Speaker 1: I think he's one had yards from scrimmage to become
Speaker 1: only the third Cowboy running back with more than ten
Speaker 1: thousand yards from scrimmage. One catch for five yards, one
Speaker 1: catch for five yards, and one hell amazing touchdown run
Speaker 1: by the way, I thought that he was surprised, like, whoa,
Speaker 1: I'm still over who was the best running back on
Speaker 1: the field yesterday? It was Zeke. Yeah, there's no doubt.
Speaker 1: Thirteen carries for eighty one yards, which is over six
Speaker 1: yards to carry, and so they don't fall behind a
Speaker 1: contest yards after That's what I like about the yards
Speaker 1: after content and even after they stopped him, then he
Speaker 1: lunged forward even more when he went to Okay, so, uh,
Speaker 1: what do you think of the rotation? They reverse the
Speaker 1: rotation a little bit for a portion there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were I think what they were thinking, if we
Speaker 1: need to break one, get a big play because we're
Speaker 1: not getting anywhere three you know, not three and out.
Speaker 1: But they were cloud of dust. Yeah, they were grinding
Speaker 1: and grinding. And the way uh they were playing defense.
Speaker 1: The Eagles, they didn't give them any free shots down
Speaker 1: the sideline. They just and they didn't really have time.
Speaker 1: They were getting pressure, they didn't get sacks. But they
Speaker 1: were getting pressure. Uh. And then I thought the key
Speaker 1: thing was is, oh, so what are tight ends or rookies.
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw the ball to him. We're gonna start
Speaker 1: rolling out naked boots and throw to the tight ends.
Speaker 1: And those guys came through and did you see the
Speaker 1: Kelsey move? Yeah? Come on, that was like, yeah, that
Speaker 1: was really nice. Gave him the slow lay. Yeah, let
Speaker 1: me try it again, like I got it? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Shot had that catch over the middle. Who
Speaker 1: was it? I did you picked Shultz? No? No, I
Speaker 1: said that tight ends, tight ends need to play this game. Well,
Speaker 1: receivers are going to be covered, and I said, the
Speaker 1: tight ends are gonna have to break out this game.
Speaker 1: And that's why I picked Zeke as well for receptions,
Speaker 1: because we were gonna have to throw to people other
Speaker 1: than the outside of the s. After a week in
Speaker 1: which the Cowboys didn't complete any passes to a running
Speaker 1: back or a tight end, I don't even know that
Speaker 1: the targets the week, but they did not. They did not,
Speaker 1: And in this game they had six catches for sixty
Speaker 1: two yards and a touchdown without Dalton Schultz, who by
Speaker 1: the way, was not on any injury report all week
Speaker 1: and come Saturday, it was like something's hurting, but he
Speaker 1: was not on an injury report. I don't believe you
Speaker 1: could see doing the previous game. He just didn't look good.
Speaker 1: He had to be every time that he played, every
Speaker 1: time he got off the ground, he had half help. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that wasn't a good look. Yeah, you can't run
Speaker 1: vouts when you have to be helped up off the ground.
Speaker 1: I just I just remember him saying he practiced fully
Speaker 1: during the week. Is that not right? I'm looking it
Speaker 1: up now. You know, he was limited Wednesday Thursday, but
Speaker 1: he was full on Friday, So that's what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: But friday's a stay day or right. Yeah, but they're
Speaker 1: projecting for saturdactly. Yeah, they projected wrong, and so he
Speaker 1: was coming. So maybe hopefully he didn't have a setback,
Speaker 1: but apparently he did in that regard. So and the
Speaker 1: way the way they played, I can't see I mean,
Speaker 1: shouts the heck of a play. You know, it's my guy.
Speaker 1: I can't see him doing much better than what those guys.
Speaker 1: The only the only failure on those guys was the
Speaker 1: fourth down play, because that's what he wanted to do
Speaker 1: was hit the crossing route to the tight end and
Speaker 1: they never cleared and got open. And complicating that, if
Speaker 1: I remember, Noah Brown missed his block and the guy
Speaker 1: that was going to pressure uh Cooper rush right, and
Speaker 1: he did and caused him to have to run a
Speaker 1: little further when he probably would have liked to thrown
Speaker 1: the ball sooner. And in other situations, you know our
Speaker 1: defense will cover by asses, right, and this was not
Speaker 1: the game to do that. It wasn't the exact same play.
Speaker 1: But one of my buddies at work who I was
Speaker 1: watching the game alongside me, Nate Tarp play. I'll give
Speaker 1: Nat a shout out on the fourth down play. He said,
Speaker 1: why are we throwing the ball? And fourth down? I said,
Speaker 1: do you remember the Cincinnati game fourth and one on
Speaker 1: the end of the field hit Noah Brown. Okay, so
Speaker 1: it's not unheard of that you wouldn't run well at
Speaker 1: that point in the game, they weren't running. And by
Speaker 1: the way, my point to date was you liked it
Speaker 1: when they completed the pig, Come on, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: A great players? Yeah, play call that was, but they
Speaker 1: they I think made a conservative effort that the second
Speaker 1: half to get the ball to the tight end, make
Speaker 1: them cover. They had no choice, middle had no choice.
Speaker 1: You had Gallup being swallowed up by Slay and to
Speaker 1: to you know, Slave's credit, he did a good job.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you have to play into that. We never
Speaker 1: had a chance to go deep to Michael Gallop. And
Speaker 1: if you can't go deep with a speech there, then
Speaker 1: you're really confining him unnecessarily. That's why. That's why the
Speaker 1: play that the dB fell on and Lamb's gonna score,
Speaker 1: that was the first time they had a shot down
Speaker 1: the field and he saw it because the safety wasn't
Speaker 1: going to get there. I think it depending on the court.
Speaker 1: I don't think they liked going deep too often with Cooper.
Speaker 1: It just seems like they wanted to keep him, you know,
Speaker 1: more confined to mid level passes. And you know, before
Speaker 1: the game, Jason Garrett pointed out that their cowboys are
Speaker 1: gonna I was surprised to see ye yesterday I got
Speaker 1: a chance to go ahead. I was like, I'm up
Speaker 1: here thinking I'm listening to you guys talk, I'm doing
Speaker 1: some other stuff. You forgot that was I ran it back, like, son,
Speaker 1: look what this is like? Does he do this all
Speaker 1: the time, did I miss it? Yes, you just don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's what my son said. Yeah, he's been on that. Uh.
Speaker 1: He pointed out that because of the way their corners play,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are gonna have to attack the middle of
Speaker 1: the field, which meant the tight ends right crossing routes,
Speaker 1: and that's what they tried, and they weren't really open
Speaker 1: because the safeties were coming up and you know, whoever
Speaker 1: was covering out the one time, I think the guy
Speaker 1: that tipped the ball was at a linebacker. The first
Speaker 1: one I don't remember. Let's let's let's look at it
Speaker 1: like this. We decided second half we're going to run
Speaker 1: the ball more, right, that is why the tight ends
Speaker 1: got open. Okay, those linebackers they had their hands full,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to keep it from blocking them. The
Speaker 1: next thing you know, they come with the play action
Speaker 1: and you've got tight ends wilde open while linebackers are
Speaker 1: looking at Zeke. So no, that was by design, and
Speaker 1: that's that's the only way to attack that Philadelphia team,
Speaker 1: because no one's going to consist to lead beat their
Speaker 1: cornerbacks unless you're someone with buffalo or a chief on
Speaker 1: your helmet. Yeah. I was trying to see because I
Speaker 1: remember writing down what did that ended up with? They
Speaker 1: had they had the six forty six left in the
Speaker 1: third quarter, they had a drive going. They went two
Speaker 1: tight ends, three wide receivers, three wide receivers, three drive receiver,
Speaker 1: three tight ends, two tight ends, two tight ends, and
Speaker 1: they got all the way down to three tight ends
Speaker 1: at first and ten at the twenty, and then they
Speaker 1: went three wide and a tight end empty and then
Speaker 1: Zeke ran for his touchdown. So evidently those guys were blocked,
Speaker 1: and yes they were, Yes they were, and so that
Speaker 1: that that so guess what they made some halftime adjustments
Speaker 1: they did, didn't they Those are good adjustments. You only
Speaker 1: when you lose do you get accused for not making
Speaker 1: halftime adjustments. And defensively too, yes, I was gonna say yes,
Speaker 1: both sides, because they they they they were attacked. I
Speaker 1: didn't expect them to play so much too tight end.
Speaker 1: That was almost their base offense. That was two tight
Speaker 1: ends and they kept running and Micah Parsons wasn't playing
Speaker 1: a true defensive end most of the time. He was
Speaker 1: the linebacker on the line of scrimmage and they were
Speaker 1: putting him in a read position. Are you going for
Speaker 1: the rollout? Are you going to cover? But they couldn't
Speaker 1: have been asking him to cover wide receivers, I think,
Speaker 1: and Jordan and force the play right, you can't do both. Look,
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis blew the one cover. Yes he did, because
Speaker 1: the guy went in motion. He went in motion and
Speaker 1: he got in the middle and he stopped, he stopped.
Speaker 1: What was he doing. He don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 1: He didn't know what he was doing. And then it
Speaker 1: looked like you know they said on TV, while yeah,
Speaker 1: they got you know, Michael Parsons, Well, Michael Parsons is
Speaker 1: not supposed to be covering ahead. He's good that you
Speaker 1: can't do both cover wide and then play containment and
Speaker 1: cover Brown. That ain't happening. Now, that wasn't all on him,
Speaker 1: and we didn't. We finally made the adjustment. But I
Speaker 1: think that was a weak side of tech, yes to
Speaker 1: where we were out numbered because they were motioning to
Speaker 1: the weak side and and you know, good good on
Speaker 1: them because they figured we can't block him, so we
Speaker 1: gotta make him decide. But we but we should have
Speaker 1: been able to make that adjustment sooner right where he
Speaker 1: could be covered by someone in the second day. Michael
Speaker 1: was not covered by anyone in the second No, and
Speaker 1: he's not gonna cover a J. Brown. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So that was that was good on their part because
Speaker 1: they ran too tight in quite a bit. Well, when
Speaker 1: you think about how concerned with this quarterbacks the Cowboys
Speaker 1: ended up with four sacks. They had four sacks and
Speaker 1: six quarterback hits. No, four quarterback hits was the majority
Speaker 1: of that. In the third quarter, that paraduct they don't
Speaker 1: break down defensive staff because you really didn't see us
Speaker 1: getting momentum until after we scored our first touchdown. Well,
Speaker 1: one of the sacks came on their first series of
Speaker 1: the game during Armstrong really really showing this button. I
Speaker 1: love it. You know the problem for the Cowboys and
Speaker 1: we got to take a break. Uh, when you're just
Speaker 1: playing into the Eagles hands when they are in quote
Speaker 1: unquote four down territory once they get past midfield, you
Speaker 1: know you gave them yeah and so and so there
Speaker 1: they are two domains. Then okay, you can if you
Speaker 1: can keep them one dimensional, back them up at their
Speaker 1: own end of the It's such a it should be
Speaker 1: such a feel position. Now to the Philadelphia's credit. They
Speaker 1: took the ball seventy five yards when the game was
Speaker 1: on the line up twenty to seventeen, and the Cowboys
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the run. Uh, and they never went to
Speaker 1: a fourth down. They got several third and one quarterback sneak.
Speaker 1: I think we gave them anything either. I think they
Speaker 1: pretty much earned it. I don't think with penalties or anything.
Speaker 1: Right and uh. But but to the point of the
Speaker 1: sacks on Hurts, and this goes back to when I
Speaker 1: watched him in college, when in games, especially where they
Speaker 1: were behind or close games, the decision making, the processing
Speaker 1: is not as quick as you can get to us
Speaker 1: exactly right. And that's why they have tailored their offense.
Speaker 1: And it's a college type offense with these RPOs with
Speaker 1: four hurts that it makes that slows down the game.
Speaker 1: It makes it simple for him. Yeah, we're not, which
Speaker 1: is why if they need to play from ahead in games,
Speaker 1: if they were in the same position the Cowboys were yesterday,
Speaker 1: it would have been disastrous. I wouldn't say necessarily hit,
Speaker 1: but keep that play right. But if they fall fall
Speaker 1: behind twenty nothing like Cowboys did yesterday, they're in trouble.
Speaker 1: And to accentuate what you said about that last touchdown drive.
Speaker 1: They converted thirty and four third and four third and one,
Speaker 1: so you're very manageable. We were just kind of running. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's us with Cooper. All right, we need to take
Speaker 1: a break and we wrap up mixed shots in just
Speaker 1: a moment. We paid how much for those lessons? She's
Speaker 1: doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a
Speaker 1: pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh look at that.
Speaker 1: That's not the end, no way. Now it's time for
Speaker 1: the encore. You know what, You're right? Five times? Not
Speaker 1: enough times everyone who traded in rock concerts for their
Speaker 1: kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi zero sugar, that's what
Speaker 1: I like. Nobody protects you from mayhem like all State.

Speaker 1: that even mean? It means you can't see out of
Speaker 1: your windshield, and if you have the wrong car assurance,
Speaker 1: you might have to make it rain to fix your bumper.
Speaker 1: So switch to all State, save money and be better

Speaker 1: with something that Mickey said in the last second out
Speaker 1: of here, and I had a question for him. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: we'll have to save that question. Then it's gonna be
Speaker 1: hard because it's on top of mine right now, and
Speaker 1: by the time write it down, by the time he
Speaker 1: comes in back in here, you will forget it. And
Speaker 1: it happened around what we were talking about off the
Speaker 1: year about and that they went for the cosion version. Yes,
Speaker 1: when they were already up what they're up nine, would
Speaker 1: have been up ten. Maybe he didn't have either he
Speaker 1: got greedy or he didn't have confidence in his defense,
Speaker 1: it's analytics, Yeah, that's what we came up, right, So
Speaker 1: it's like, you get it on the one yard line,
Speaker 1: you can plow it in like they've been doing all game.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. It is it is. You
Speaker 1: don't chase points. Well, all right, I want Everson to
Speaker 1: be in here. I was hesitating bringing it up because
Speaker 1: I want it. Everson, dude, respond to it. I think
Speaker 1: he would agree. But anyway, all right, you are up
Speaker 1: twenty six to seventeen with seven minutes left in the game. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was the Treyvon Diggs penalty, and so you decide
Speaker 1: to take the penalty and go half the distance. So
Speaker 1: you're at the one yard line, whatever yard line you're at. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're at the one inch line.
Speaker 1: What analytics tells you to go for two? Up nine
Speaker 1: points with seven minutes left in the game. If you
Speaker 1: don't make it, the opponent can beat you by scoring
Speaker 1: a touchdown and kicking a field goal. That makes no
Speaker 1: sense whatsoever. Or you leave yourself susceptible to kicking a
Speaker 1: field goal and scoring a touchdown and going for two
Speaker 1: to win it. All right, if you want it. Jefferson back,
Speaker 1: He held good because now I can ask him right, Uh,
Speaker 1: hurry up, get in here. We got questions on the docket.
Speaker 1: We were we were just we were just talking about
Speaker 1: I know, if you ever got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty
Speaker 1: because you said something offensive to your opponent. No, I
Speaker 1: never did. But I didn't talk during the game. You know,
Speaker 1: he's never said anything offensive to anyone. I don't do that.
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're management. I can't throw a flag
Speaker 1: on because that's when the flag came out. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: you could see it was talking. I was on dig
Speaker 1: I thought you're talking about Parsons. I thought some one
Speaker 1: the one noon Parsons. If Diggs got for just throwing
Speaker 1: because he took it off talking trash because he's like, okay,
Speaker 1: I finally made the play, yes, because they were, you know,
Speaker 1: making like he was posture. He didn't posh, you're The
Speaker 1: flag didn't come out until he said somebody dropped a dime.
Speaker 1: It was snitches. It was a snitch out right. Well,
Speaker 1: Goddard was complaining, yeah, because he was right, and God's well, yeah, nothing,
Speaker 1: that's his face his ear, Yeah, he was in his ear.
Speaker 1: He wasn't his You see Goddard look pointing at him.
Speaker 1: He was looking at the reft going on. Then, who
Speaker 1: can't come on, man? I mean how many times has
Speaker 1: someone go, hey, man, this guy's talking to him? All right?
Speaker 1: You watch it now I'm gonna get you next time.
Speaker 1: You got the immediate you got an immediate reaction. Come on. Okay,
Speaker 1: so asked the cornerback, O the Treyvon reaction. Has he
Speaker 1: ever reacted like that a Touchdow? You gotta do that
Speaker 1: one sidelines? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he can be frustrated.
Speaker 1: You can't take that hand with half was when you're quiet,
Speaker 1: dude like that? Yeah, he keeps it in right and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he just this. Here's there's
Speaker 1: another part of that. You know who scored the touchdown?
Speaker 1: Who touchdown? Yeah? So you didn't have that, had to
Speaker 1: have set. Yeah, that's like you can't let him like
Speaker 1: your brother scoring a touchdown. You can't let him, you
Speaker 1: swear you can't. He broken? He broken, bad day? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so my rant was Sirianni. The Eagles coach decides they're
Speaker 1: ahead by nine points with seven minutes left in the game,
Speaker 1: is twenty six to seventeen, and he takes a penalty,
Speaker 1: so he's one yard out. Okay, I don't care if
Speaker 1: he's at the one inch line. Kick the extra point.
Speaker 1: You can't. They didn't make the two points that gave
Speaker 1: us really exactly. I gave the Cowboys hope, real hope
Speaker 1: that that we not only happened exactly, that we not
Speaker 1: only can you know, if we get a touchdown in
Speaker 1: a field goal, we win the game, win the game.
Speaker 1: You know that was I was surprised at that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean because I mean, what made them scoring us?
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, we still have a good defense,
Speaker 1: reclass of what you're doing. There were seven minutes left,
Speaker 1: you know, there's plenty of time for the Cowboys to
Speaker 1: have on two possessions. He got cute, he got really cute.
Speaker 1: So when they when they when they called the unsportsman
Speaker 1: like on digs, I wrote down, there's three flags on
Speaker 1: the field? Now, was one enough? Everybody else? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw it. I get points, come on, ones enough
Speaker 1: through three and they all didn't go down at the
Speaker 1: same time, right, So who do you think of every
Speaker 1: time that a penalty is called for taking the helmet
Speaker 1: off on the fieldmet of course. So my buddy Nate,
Speaker 1: I'm watching the game, was said, how come he gets
Speaker 1: a penalty? States our age? So I mean he should know,
Speaker 1: I said, how can you get to He said, how
Speaker 1: come he gets a penalty for taking his helm? Throwing
Speaker 1: his helmet down. Well, you can blame that on him.
Speaker 1: It now, he didn't do it. He didn't do it,
Speaker 1: which hey, every other sport everybody sees a face, right
Speaker 1: except football, you don't know. And that was the reason
Speaker 1: why they felt so good about doing it. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: And I don't blame it. I didn't do it when
Speaker 1: I played. But I mean, come on, not blamed them
Speaker 1: at all. That was that was good stuff. Take the
Speaker 1: helmet off, I guess go running now you can Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't take the helmet off, but you can go
Speaker 1: running down with your boys into the end. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean come on, man, right that to me, that's
Speaker 1: most silly than one of the one of their touchdowns.
Speaker 1: The guy actually was up in the stands. He didn't
Speaker 1: jump on a wall. He was. He climbed over into
Speaker 1: the stands. It's like, that's okay, ah, just don't want
Speaker 1: to see your face. Well, can we have our victory
Speaker 1: music on two Stays and the twenty five? Man? I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear that song. No, not tough Friday,
Speaker 1: not too fun. Get you fired up for Dan cam
Speaker 1: We got work too, Lions, we got word he'll be
Speaker 1: fired up for this one, he will, Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: save his season. I want to one in four Lions
Speaker 1: coming off of bye waiting. That's what they've fallen to.
Speaker 1: One and four. They're one in four. Yeah right. They
Speaker 1: had to buy and everybody was all over them after
Speaker 1: hard knocks that so, so they got one and four,
Speaker 1: two and four, three and three coming up. Yep. And
Speaker 1: my son said it yesterday, and I said it even
Speaker 1: at the first game. It's gonna be a tough season
Speaker 1: for everyone. You know, when you talk about fantasy and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, there are no guarantees week
Speaker 1: to week, and it just hasn't ironed out yet, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It hasn't settled yet. You still
Speaker 1: have guys making mistakes. You still have guys making plays
Speaker 1: that they're not gonna make in December. They're making great
Speaker 1: plays now, they're not gonna make some of these plays
Speaker 1: in December. And you've got guys who are going to
Speaker 1: turn their season around. Whatnot that's turning around. They're just
Speaker 1: gonna slowly trend up with into whether they're supposed to be.
Speaker 1: And quite as it kept, I still think Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: and those Packers better look out. All I know is
Speaker 1: I'm watching two games at the same time, the early games, right,
Speaker 1: so it have been the Giant and Ravens. Ravens, Green
Speaker 1: Bay and the Jets. Halfway through the second quarter. Nobody
Speaker 1: has scored a touchdown. Nobody has scored a touchdown. The
Speaker 1: state of New York. Three losses between the three teams, Buffalo, Jets,
Speaker 1: and Johns. Yeah yeah, and Syracuse. He can throw Syricus. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Still three losses, yeah right, yeah, the part in New
Speaker 1: York City five and one, yeah, and undefeated. The Ravens
Speaker 1: just handed the Giants that game. Yeah, they did. Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson what he turned it over like three successes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was the one time. Yeah, that was the one.
Speaker 1: And that's why I say all these my homes and
Speaker 1: these cute little twist and turns and all that. You
Speaker 1: play against a good defense, that crap ain't gonna work.
Speaker 1: You can be cute all you want, you better play
Speaker 1: real ball when it comes to games like they had
Speaker 1: against Buffalo yesterday. You know, he did the puroue at
Speaker 1: that time the week before, and it makes a great play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he tried that crap again the game. He got that
Speaker 1: crap picked off in the end zone and then even
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, here looking like Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson with the old you know, got the little cute
Speaker 1: thing going on. Cute man, that stuff can be picked
Speaker 1: off like anybody that's all cute and everything when it works.
Speaker 1: But when it doesn't, you're just another guy that's going
Speaker 1: to pick and there you haven't. That's it and that
Speaker 1: is another edition of mix Shots and we will talk
Speaker 1: at you again tomorrow at noon. Go Cowboys. This has
Speaker 1: been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
