Speaker 3: and the official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones,
Speaker 3: Savannah Humoler, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 4: And here we go.
Speaker 5: It's time for a Thursday edition of mix Shots with
Speaker 5: football players on a football field and.
Speaker 2: The music football music is just music.
Speaker 5: Outside you heard the music, larny, larn it. Because they're
Speaker 5: going on the road. They're playing at Buffalo And do
Speaker 5: you all understand just how epic this game is going
Speaker 5: to be on Sunday, Because tell us it's going to be.
Speaker 5: It's going to go right down to the wall. And
Speaker 5: there's a lot riding on this game. We need to
Speaker 5: understand that as well. Take off this show for both teams.
Speaker 5: There's a whole heck of a lot writing on this.
Speaker 5: This is playoff football in December.
Speaker 2: And that happens.
Speaker 6: You know, we call the playoffs the playoffs, but the
Speaker 6: playoffs always start.
Speaker 2: We talked about this after Thanksgiving. That's when the playoffs
Speaker 2: really starts.
Speaker 5: Secember, and especially as jumbled up as things are, depending
Speaker 5: on what your goals are. And this Buffalo team, there
Speaker 5: was a pick of some including me, to go to
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl this year, and they still have that
Speaker 5: on their agenda, but they got work to do before that.
Speaker 5: Even at seven and six on the season.
Speaker 4: Are they on the outside of the wild card looking.
Speaker 5: I haven't looked at that, But what they're looking at
Speaker 5: is the Miami Dolphins team that's ahead of them in
Speaker 5: the division right now, that just lost to the Tennessee
Speaker 5: Titans on Monday. They really take care of business and
Speaker 5: their last game of the season is against Miami, and
Speaker 5: they want to be in a position where they're play
Speaker 5: in Miami the last game of the season for a
Speaker 5: division title.
Speaker 4: Are they just one game back back.
Speaker 5: To two back? I think, I mean make sure on
Speaker 5: that getting in the two behind them, But if they
Speaker 5: Windami okay, yeah, And just checking here, who's got my
Speaker 5: who's Miami got this week? They're I got the schedule.
Speaker 7: Miami moved down to number two.
Speaker 4: Baltimore's number one bill Miami.
Speaker 7: Miami Parker is nine and four, nine and four.
Speaker 5: So they are two games back.
Speaker 4: I was play.
Speaker 7: The Jets Jets this week.
Speaker 5: The Jets at home, the Jets with a quarterback who
Speaker 5: was named the offensive player of the week, and Zach
Speaker 5: Wilson is going on, how about how about at the
Speaker 5: beginning of the season. If let's let's go back to
Speaker 5: August first and say, okay, the players of the week
Speaker 5: in mid December, you're gonna have a guy named Zach
Speaker 5: Wilson and a guy who was not at that time
Speaker 5: projected to be the starting quarterback for the New York Jets,
Speaker 5: a guy named Tommy DeVito.
Speaker 4: Not make fun of Tommy DeVito, and a.
Speaker 5: Guy named Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 2: For that matter, Tommy is three and one.
Speaker 5: I think, so that's great. Lost here and then he.
Speaker 2: And then he won three.
Speaker 4: That's good him.
Speaker 5: We caught him in just the right time time before
Speaker 5: he became Brock Perdy. Did I mention rock Perty that way?
Speaker 5: I looked at him, you know what. He reminds me
Speaker 5: of Brockberdy.
Speaker 4: And you and you didn't mention that. If the Cowboys win,
Speaker 4: they're in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: That's exactly right. And if they lose, they can also
Speaker 5: get into the playoffs.
Speaker 4: With about thirteen different scenarios, and then some of those
Speaker 4: scenarios are pretty likely scenarios too. About teams loose.
Speaker 6: How do you think this team would you know, respond
Speaker 6: to that with the youth that we have out there,
Speaker 6: some veterans, you know, it's not.
Speaker 5: Like I hope they respond that it's a given they're
Speaker 5: going to the playoffs. They got fish to fry.
Speaker 2: My point is, Okay, we win the playoffs, let's.
Speaker 6: Chill all now, but we want to go.
Speaker 2: We still want the division?
Speaker 4: Right is the division?
Speaker 2: That's my point? What's that ship? I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: which is the same. They have to know.
Speaker 6: Okay, well, guys, we could win and be in, or
Speaker 6: even not winning be in.
Speaker 2: You know, how are they going to be carthy?
Speaker 4: Basically put that to rest when we want to win
Speaker 4: the division? After he threw away the other stuff about
Speaker 4: oh if you win, you're in, how do you do
Speaker 4: with this stuff? Then it's like we got to look
Speaker 4: at what's in front of us.
Speaker 6: I was hoping and I hope that this team is
Speaker 6: is doesn't need a Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 2: You know, they don't have to have a Jimmy Johnson too.
Speaker 4: Well, they might have one, well, well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, might be different. He's a different might be Mike.
Speaker 6: Jimmy Johnson was yelling at him, you know, can his
Speaker 6: you know, just blunt statements be taken seriously by his team.
Speaker 2: That's what do they have to be frightened?
Speaker 4: Players play?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 4: Can you mike players this age?
Speaker 2: And should you have to? Is my point? Should you have?
Speaker 4: No? Not at all? There you go, But yeah, you
Speaker 4: got to coach guys thirty years later a little different
Speaker 4: than you did bath point, and they might get offended
Speaker 4: if you yell at him with Mike when you need.
Speaker 2: A right.
Speaker 5: Players didn't get offended in nineteen eighty nine when coaches
Speaker 5: yelled at.
Speaker 2: Him, listen to him, listen to him.
Speaker 4: They didn't.
Speaker 2: I gotta go.
Speaker 5: Ahead of his time. You would fit in perfectly with today.
Speaker 2: I should would wouldn't I?
Speaker 6: Well, this is what I wanted for them as I
Speaker 6: was bitch at this is the environment.
Speaker 2: Uh huh you have to respond.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: Okay, back on the Buffalo perspective coming into this game,
Speaker 5: just look at what they've done here. They beat Kansas
Speaker 5: City this week in the Cadarius Tony game, and they
Speaker 5: they got Dallas this week. Okay, then they play at
Speaker 5: the Charge at the Chargers. Okay, that is a very
Speaker 5: very tough No, it's a very very winnable game the Charges, Yes,
Speaker 5: they don't have a quarterback. That Eastern stick is starting
Speaker 5: at quarterback.
Speaker 4: But then again, that might be the solution.
Speaker 5: Brown comes up that that coach is about to get he's.
Speaker 2: Going to be one of the first.
Speaker 5: And then speaking of a coach who may be among
Speaker 5: the first, they already be fired. They got New England.
Speaker 2: Next, already fire already, right, So.
Speaker 5: So look at the Buffalo players. They're looking at their schedule, okay,
Speaker 5: and they're okay, we got Dallas and then Chargers and
Speaker 5: the Patriots. We've already got both of those coaches fired.
Speaker 5: And then we closed with Miami, so that puts that
Speaker 5: much more importance on if we can just beat Dallas,
Speaker 5: we're going to be probably playing for a division.
Speaker 2: You think you think we were the reason that two
Speaker 2: coaches have fired this year.
Speaker 5: No, No, I'm saying that the Buffalo players are. They're saying, Okay,
Speaker 5: we're playing two teams that the coaches are already basically fired.
Speaker 4: After they've beaten those then.
Speaker 2: May have helped them get fired.
Speaker 4: True, that's true, didn't help their cause, I think the
Speaker 4: So when we talked about checking on the elements the weather,
Speaker 4: and Carthy pointed out that his two biggest concerns when
Speaker 4: it comes to weather is wind and rain, which I
Speaker 4: think makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4: Do you ever have to play in the snow, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it doesn't change too much if it's not like a
Speaker 4: blizzard or anything.
Speaker 2: I think if yeah, well I was in a blizzard. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was pretty bad. But now we we mostly had
Speaker 2: to deal with the rain.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Right.
Speaker 6: When I was with the Giants played against Buffalo, yeah,
Speaker 6: it was the only we were the only team to
Speaker 6: hold them under twenty points twice that year. But at
Speaker 6: the same time, we only beat them once and that
Speaker 6: was wasn't a bowl. But as you played in Jersey,
Speaker 6: it constantly rained and it was below freezing.
Speaker 4: That to me, that's so cold rain and wind, right, you.
Speaker 6: Couldn't I mean if you fall on and if you
Speaker 6: fall you're going to be in a puddle and it's
Speaker 6: cold and it's still raining and the wind is blowing
Speaker 6: and it's still below freezing, and you don't get the
Speaker 6: change clothes. No, you can't change clothes. And I remember
Speaker 6: my Mara Gitten. I remember he was talking to me
Speaker 6: and his bottom lip was quipping.
Speaker 2: He's talking like, whoa dude, we gotta get you know,
Speaker 2: we gotta do something.
Speaker 7: Well, now they have all the heated benches and the
Speaker 7: little things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet they are now.
Speaker 6: They had that then, But once again you're wet and freezing.
Speaker 2: It's still wet.
Speaker 6: It's all you want. It's raining on the sidelines as well.
Speaker 6: So now those are the more miserable ones because your
Speaker 6: hands never dry everything, you never dry out, you know,
Speaker 6: even at halftime.
Speaker 5: So I don't have that game. By the way, a
Speaker 5: seventeen thirteen Buffalo Bills win at the New York Football
Speaker 5: Giants was played in thirty seven degree weather with a
Speaker 5: wind chill of thirty.
Speaker 2: You go that wind chill, that's it, the wind chill change.
Speaker 5: Think about precipitation.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was raining the entire time. I'm going to
Speaker 2: add that to the Please trust me. It was. It
Speaker 2: was bubbles on the field.
Speaker 4: So, speaking of precipitation, the outlook for Sunday is a
Speaker 4: higher forty eight okay, low of forty two, So they'll
Speaker 4: be closer to forty two probably when they start. Now,
Speaker 4: not a lot of wind though, right, it didn't say
Speaker 4: anything about wind, but it did say fifty nine percent precipitation. Okay,
Speaker 4: But the next day I looked it up. The higher
Speaker 4: forty two and the low of twenty six ninety one
Speaker 4: percent chance of precipitation. That means snow. So if things
Speaker 4: move up right and you get to Monday on Sunday,
Speaker 4: it could be pretty like you.
Speaker 2: Say, leg effect, miserable, leg effect. Watch that's eerie, right,
Speaker 2: it's eerie.
Speaker 4: Lake Arie.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's my home.
Speaker 4: So a while Lake Erie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you mean? Cleveland?
Speaker 4: Oh, Cleveland? I forgot He forgot it.
Speaker 2: Too, No, I didn't.
Speaker 6: I remember my first game in Cleveland, Belichick, my first
Speaker 6: game in Cleveland. I had just gotten there and half
Speaker 6: the season was over. I was late for the game
Speaker 6: because of lake effect snow and I had never heard.
Speaker 6: What the hell, Laker, I never knew what lake effects snow.
Speaker 4: Like it just happens.
Speaker 2: It just happens. It came out of nowhere, Like, what
Speaker 2: the hell is going on? I'm stuck in traffic.
Speaker 6: I mean it was like three hours before the game.
Speaker 6: No one's moving because lake effects snow. What the hell
Speaker 6: is that? I had no idea what that was. I'm
Speaker 6: from Dallas, man, I don't know about lake effect snow.
Speaker 6: That's my excuse to Belichick. He's like, hey, man, you
Speaker 6: didn't make it, you get fine. So me and Nick
Speaker 6: Saban were late for my first guy. Nick Saban was
Speaker 6: putting on his socks trying to get out on the field.
Speaker 2: We have both missed warm ups. Uh huh. And that
Speaker 2: was it.
Speaker 4: He came by and gave you the good news.
Speaker 2: No, he came by trying to put his socks on.
Speaker 4: No, I've been about to find No.
Speaker 2: No, he got fined as well. Well I don't know
Speaker 2: if he got fined, but both of us were late.
Speaker 4: So here's how here's how miserable it could be at
Speaker 4: that old stadium. I covered a playoff game there in January.
Speaker 4: Fortunately I was staying downtown because the snow that morning
Speaker 4: just it was almost a blizzard, right, And so I drive.
Speaker 4: I was able to drive there my rental car, and
Speaker 4: as other fans were getting into the parking lot, the
Speaker 4: people that were already there were giving him standing ovations
Speaker 4: that they made it to the game. So then I
Speaker 4: walk into the stadium and I see where they're they're
Speaker 4: selling beer, right, and they got it all stacked up.
Speaker 4: It ain't on ice. It's so cold. All you had
Speaker 4: to do is have it outside because it's twenty degrees right,
Speaker 4: So they didn't even use ice to I cooled down
Speaker 4: the beer.
Speaker 2: I've been there.
Speaker 4: That was that was a pretty miserable day.
Speaker 6: And I'm not a Cleveland guy. I'm a Dallas guy.
Speaker 6: In Dallas, Cleveland is so different, so different. It was
Speaker 6: this is our new territory for me. Thank god I
Speaker 6: knew Belichick. That was about the only guy I had
Speaker 6: out there.
Speaker 4: Well, they can't simulate.
Speaker 5: Ninety three. Okay, go ahead, No.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, they can't simulate snow in practice,
Speaker 4: but they do get wind in that little three prong
Speaker 4: tunnel they had right outside, and so Brandon Aubrey can
Speaker 4: practice and he does kick into that wind quite a
Speaker 4: bit in practice, and they could, I guess, throw the
Speaker 4: footballs into a bucket of water used to throwing a
Speaker 4: wet ball. They don't like a Yeah, can't simulate rain.
Speaker 4: They don't have a turn on, turn on the sprinklers
Speaker 4: practicing with the sprinklers going right. So anyway, but that
Speaker 4: was one of the discussions in the in the press
Speaker 4: conference today. I think the other thing that we can
Speaker 4: get to in the next segment is the fact that
Speaker 4: Missie Smith's going to have to take on a bigger
Speaker 4: role on Sunday against the team that, probably depending on
Speaker 4: the weather, wants to run the football against this cowboy defense.
Speaker 5: That would be the way I've run the football too.
Speaker 2: That's that's just what I would do. I will just
Speaker 2: make sure we have a heavy dosage of Josh Allen.
Speaker 5: All Right, we continue with more mix shots in just
Speaker 5: a moment.
Speaker 8: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they snapped.
Speaker 5: The press guy who looks right, it's not there.
Speaker 4: He escapes left.
Speaker 2: He'll run for a Pernstown.
Speaker 8: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 8: to have a team you can trust. With Blockchain dot Com,
Speaker 8: I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've
Speaker 8: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,
Speaker 8: and trade crypto currency.
Speaker 5: Prescott's gonna rub this in show, run it up the
Speaker 5: middle Andy Scores.
Speaker 8: Whether you're new to crypto or an active trader, They've
Speaker 8: got you covered.
Speaker 2: What are you waiting for?
Speaker 8: Get started at blockchain dot Com.
Speaker 9: We know that juicy, cheesy, grilled to perfection burger sounds amazing,
Speaker 9: but it does sound like something is missing. Pepsi Baby,
Speaker 9: the yin to this Burger's yang burgers and pepsi go
Speaker 9: together like well, like burgers and pepsi. This perfect blending
Speaker 9: of flavors makes every bite of let us, every sesame
Speaker 9: seed on the bun, and every sip of that crisp
Speaker 9: refreshing ice cooled kola a journey to footopia. Burgers better
Speaker 9: with pepsi, That's what I like.

Speaker 7: Well, that was Mickey, your.
Speaker 5: Microphone's over, hear me.
Speaker 4: I was laughing because I was trying to side on
Speaker 4: the computer. Yeah, I was thinking of I've ever said
Speaker 4: say I got to do it twice hour?
Speaker 2: Time was time.
Speaker 5: Before you can get logged.
Speaker 7: This is why I show up early.
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 5: So does it take you two or three times?
Speaker 2: Of course that was three My old people, this these
Speaker 2: old people problems.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't even open my my iPad, all right, Mazzi, Mazzi,
Speaker 5: you want to get into Mozzie. Well, it sounded like
Speaker 5: from the three thirty press conference yesterday that the Jonathan
Speaker 5: Hankins playing this week did not look exactly what I
Speaker 5: was going to update today.
Speaker 4: I think he's out. Yeah, I think what did macarthy
Speaker 4: put it? He'd be hard pressed too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There by Sundays, as we were talking about yesterday, three
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty five pounds on a high ankle sprain,
Speaker 4: probably not doing real well.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 4: You know, they can also use Neville Gallimore there, I
Speaker 4: would imagine, and they're going to have to have a rotation,
Speaker 4: and we talked about calling up Carl Davis, nine year
Speaker 4: veteran of three hundred and thirty five three hundred and
Speaker 4: thirty five pounds. By the way, but I think Mozzi
Speaker 4: probably get the most snaps he's had so far this year.
Speaker 4: He's averaging like sixteen a game, a high of twenties,
Speaker 4: like twenty five maybe something like that. But it was
Speaker 4: in the mop up duty against the Giants the second
Speaker 4: time around.
Speaker 2: So what's going on with that? Galimore? Does he play much?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's in the rotation and he can play either one.
Speaker 2: Oh, so that would be a change.
Speaker 4: But yeah, but I could see him going in there
Speaker 4: and playing more at the one technique.
Speaker 5: To bring you up to speed. On Neville Gallimore last
Speaker 5: game against Philadelphia had twelve snaps. He had eleven snaps
Speaker 5: against Seattle, seventeen against Washington. That's been roughly worre and
Speaker 5: it's about the same as what Mazzi. Mozzi had thirteen
Speaker 5: snaps against Philly, eleven against Seattle, twenty against Washington. So
Speaker 5: I mean that rotation, you know. So, and that's one
Speaker 5: of the things that MacArthur talked about today with Mozzi.
Speaker 5: You know, you got these expectations in first round draft pick. Well,
Speaker 5: that's a position that doesn't rack up stats number one,
Speaker 5: and then he's walking into a veteran filled room. And
Speaker 5: keep that all in perspective as we try to decide,
Speaker 5: you know, thirteen games into his career.
Speaker 2: That I the ball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a bull, and I think people need to
Speaker 4: have some experience at looking at that, because I think
Speaker 4: we talked about it just recently. My first impression of
Speaker 4: Ken Norton was, oh, he can't play, you know, and
Speaker 4: it took him about three years before he became Ken
Speaker 4: Norton Junior.
Speaker 2: So when they three three Super Bowls later.
Speaker 4: And the three three well, two with the Cowboys, one
Speaker 4: with the San Francisco one right, okay?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Or did he get no? He ninety two, ninety three
Speaker 4: and then he became a free agent and went to
Speaker 4: San Francisco in ninety four. Uh So, you know, when
Speaker 4: Mike was asked about Mozzi, he said, I think Mozley's
Speaker 4: doing a hell of a job. He said, his job
Speaker 4: is dirty, it's phill filling a role that is not
Speaker 4: going to get bring you any not rioting. So his
Speaker 4: job is not sacks. It's basically getting in there and
Speaker 4: mucking up the runs. And they may not get a
Speaker 4: lot of tackles either.
Speaker 5: For perspective, Jonathan Hankins, who is just like a round
Speaker 5: draft baker the Giants ten years ago. He's a rookie
Speaker 5: going into the Giants at twenty one years old. Like Mazi,
Speaker 5: he played eleven games that year. He had sixteen tackles,
Speaker 5: two tackles for loss and didn't start a game.
Speaker 4: So it takes a while.
Speaker 2: And and you know, I always knew how to get
Speaker 2: tackles for loss. His own always tacks.
Speaker 4: He also he also brought up when he was at
Speaker 4: Green Bay. I forgot his first name, Raji. The big
Speaker 4: dump truck of a nose tackle is a dj rj
Speaker 4: BJ Rozi.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And he brought him up by the Hoppology. He
Speaker 4: had to, you know, explain to him that you're there
Speaker 4: to facilitate other people, you know, don't let everybody say, well,
Speaker 4: you're this draft choice and you're not doing this so
Speaker 4: U He feels like, you know, from a from Misi
Speaker 4: Smith's standpoint that the jump that he can make from
Speaker 4: this year to next year could be very huge because
Speaker 4: he still has the talent. So anyway, we'll get a chance,
Speaker 4: we'll get a chance to see him a lot more.
Speaker 5: Bj Raji two thousand and nine. Bj Raji out of
Speaker 5: Boston College. He was a first round draft pick and
Speaker 5: he was the ninth overall pick in the draft. Okay,
Speaker 5: so at top ten pick. His first year at Green
Speaker 5: Bay fourteen games, one start, twenty five tackles.
Speaker 4: So anyway, I think everybody.
Speaker 5: In the second year he became a starter.
Speaker 4: I think everybody has this perception that he's slow off
Speaker 4: the ball, and it's like, well is he you know,
Speaker 4: where's he going?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: So and bj Roggi's third year he was a pro bowler.
Speaker 7: Right, And they'll have the rotation still.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so you have Neville Gallimore and you have if
Speaker 12: they elevate Carl Davis Junior to the press.
Speaker 4: The key thing for him is not to get turned,
Speaker 4: to stake square to the line of scrimmage. And when
Speaker 4: Mike was talking or no, when dan quinn was talking
Speaker 4: about Hankins, he basically said, he's square, he's wrong, and
Speaker 4: he has experience, and that was his attributes and meaning
Speaker 4: square to the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2: Don't square banch right.
Speaker 4: Because once you get the line, once you get turned,
Speaker 4: that's it, you're done, right, And sometimes you have to
Speaker 4: be visual.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's not the vis it is not.
Speaker 7: Coach McCarthy did say in the press, car, I'll bring us.
Speaker 4: Back as we get back, Come on, come on back.
Speaker 12: Willy Cooker did not participate in their practice yesterday, but
Speaker 12: he should be limited today.
Speaker 7: And then Brian Anger is back.
Speaker 4: He was on a personal okay.
Speaker 7: Yesterday, so he is back today in participation.
Speaker 4: Very good and that's really all because most of the
Speaker 4: injury report was just mostly guys that were resting or
Speaker 4: at at you know, at the most limited. So it's
Speaker 4: a pretty good outlook.
Speaker 7: But the Bills I was curious about.
Speaker 12: So I know Micah Hyde he did not participate in
Speaker 12: their Wednesday.
Speaker 7: Has he been out for quite a while now.
Speaker 5: He played sixty six naps against well, yeah, against Philadelphia.
Speaker 5: It was his last time too. If I got this right,
Speaker 5: I may not have it updated here in here. So yeah,
Speaker 5: I have to check on him.
Speaker 7: Let's see, because I know he was he was.
Speaker 5: He played last week and I looked at the big
Speaker 5: in that twenty three. I looked at the Kansas City
Speaker 5: game and he started against Kansas City, so.
Speaker 7: Yes, he did not participate.
Speaker 5: They had twenty three and twenty one. Jordan Poy, you're
Speaker 5: playing safety? What I was looking at on film?
Speaker 12: Okay, Josh Allen, he was full in their practice.
Speaker 7: He did have a right shoulder that they were looking at. Recently.
Speaker 5: By the way, Josh Allen macarthy was asked about him
Speaker 5: yesterday's press conference and he compared him with Brett Farv,
Speaker 5: which was interesting.
Speaker 2: I could see that.
Speaker 5: And you know, Josh Allen will be making his ninetieth
Speaker 5: start in this game. He is fifty nine and thirty
Speaker 5: in his career. Okay, guess what Brett Farv's record was
Speaker 5: through eighty nine starts in his career. Fifty nine and thirty,
Speaker 5: exact same record. Who thought it was interesting?
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 4: Did you say what hides snap count was?
Speaker 5: I did not know it.
Speaker 4: No, thirty four. So he did get thirty four?
Speaker 5: Okay, got hurt, right, So he did start last week,
Speaker 5: so he came out there.
Speaker 4: There was sixty six I think was the total close
Speaker 4: to one hundred percent?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, but you know Josh Allen is prototype. What you
Speaker 5: would be looking for in a quarterback as far as
Speaker 5: his size goes, arms and everything.
Speaker 2: And that's why everybody loves him so much.
Speaker 5: Six five, two hundred and thirty three pounds.
Speaker 4: Yesung arms, Yeah, we talk about his arm. He's run
Speaker 4: for ten touchdowns and.
Speaker 5: They're not and in the last two years he ran
Speaker 5: for over seven hundred yards.
Speaker 4: Got three, like three forty seven.
Speaker 5: He's not on that same pace this year running the ball.
Speaker 5: He's only been sacked eighteen times.
Speaker 4: Ten touchdowns running running and twenty five and those are
Speaker 4: those are not probably scrambles. I bet the majority of
Speaker 4: them are called quarterback draws. And he's a hard guy
Speaker 4: to get on the ground. He's big, right, he won't
Speaker 4: just go down.
Speaker 2: He does not slide.
Speaker 4: I mean he'll die, yes, or he'll try to run
Speaker 4: you over.
Speaker 5: The same far personality.
Speaker 2: From, but he's bigger than From exactly.
Speaker 5: That's the thing about Farv. In fact, I was on
Speaker 5: the NFL radio this morning Mike Tannenbaum was talking about
Speaker 5: they used that SoundBite from McCarthy talking about Josh Allen
Speaker 5: and comparing him to Brett Farv, and he said the
Speaker 5: thing about Farv that struck him when he first time
Speaker 5: he saw him in person, he wasn't as big as
Speaker 5: he thought he was, you know.
Speaker 2: Because he played big.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was larger than life on the field and
Speaker 5: especially as he got later in his career or whatever.
Speaker 5: But up close, I mean he's listed Farv is listed
Speaker 5: at six to two and twenty pounds or something. But
Speaker 5: so that's if that's a true height. It's three inches
Speaker 5: shorter than Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: You know, and they both have the problems with going
Speaker 2: in the second.
Speaker 5: He did say this about Farv. He said that the
Speaker 5: one thing about Farv he had the largest hands of
Speaker 5: anybody he shook hands with. In fact, he said that
Speaker 5: the only person, I think Farv said the only person
Speaker 5: with larger hands than him that he ever shook hands
Speaker 5: with was Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2: I shook hands at Jeordan one time. Yeah, I got
Speaker 2: an autograph of my dad.
Speaker 5: He was It's amazing how much easier it is to
Speaker 5: play sports if you.
Speaker 2: Have That's why he likes sock. That's why he likes.
Speaker 4: That's played soccer. I didn't figure out the hands thing
Speaker 4: until later on in life. It's like, I've got all
Speaker 4: these guys, what the guys that I roomed with once
Speaker 4: when I was in Columbia. He was a pitcher, right,
Speaker 4: and he's throwing the ball and it's moving all over
Speaker 4: in place, and I looked at his hands.
Speaker 2: The whole ball.
Speaker 5: It's like, come on, you imagine in basketball, Like how
Speaker 5: much easier was basketball for a guy like Michael Jordan
Speaker 5: if you can just pump it and do whatever you
Speaker 5: want to do with it, you know. Anyway, that's aside five.
Speaker 4: I'll give you another side on Fire. After his rookie
Speaker 4: year in Atlanta, I was at the Super Bowl and
Speaker 4: it was after the Super Bowl game and me and
Speaker 4: my buddy that I worked with in Jackson, Mississippi. He
Speaker 4: had gone to Southern Mississippi. So we're walking out going
Speaker 4: to our hotel was about two three blocks away, and
Speaker 4: Jerry Glanville comes walking out at the same time. Hey,
Speaker 4: where are you guys going.
Speaker 5: It's like, we're going to.
Speaker 4: Such and such. He goes, yeah, I'll walk with you.
Speaker 4: So my buddy couldn't resist. He said, so, Jerry, do
Speaker 4: you think Fire can play?
Speaker 13: And he goes, well, I think he's got some talent,
Speaker 13: but he's gotta remember, like after like Wednesday, can't have
Speaker 13: all that corn squeezing.
Speaker 2: Going on.
Speaker 4: Meaning drinking and I'll be darned. So this would have
Speaker 4: been the end of January. By March, they traded him
Speaker 4: to Green Bay for the first round pick. He called
Speaker 4: it scorn corn squeeze.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Speaker 6: But as good as Fav was, he was a gunslinger, yeah,
Speaker 6: meaning there was some very ill advised say that he
Speaker 6: should not have thrown.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 6: I remember watching the playoff game Green Bay against the Giants,
Speaker 6: and I had the buddy sitting next to me, and
Speaker 6: he bet on he bet that far with throwing interception,
Speaker 6: and sure enough he threw that interception and that that
Speaker 6: was a big one and that ended up causing him
Speaker 6: to lose because Eli and the guys were winning.
Speaker 4: Speaking of speaking of far So, last night I was
Speaker 4: I was watching ESPN. They were doing the SEC schedule
Speaker 4: release for football.
Speaker 14: Next year and your losses right, oh boy, they got
Speaker 14: to play almost back, not back to back, but Auburn, Alabama, Oklahoma.
Speaker 15: Uh it's yeah, division top ten, that's right, number nine Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: You man.
Speaker 5: SEC just became the toughest.
Speaker 2: Conference in America.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be another that Missouri could score forty points against. Anyway,
Speaker 4: they dropped after after it was over, the thirty for
Speaker 4: thirty four of Reggie White came on and they were
Speaker 4: showing some of the highlights, right, and they were showing
Speaker 4: highlights against the Cowboys with Jason Garrett at quarterback, and
Speaker 4: I'm going, well, they're missing the point here because Garrett
Speaker 4: ripped him for thirty eight four hundred yards, passing most
Speaker 4: in the second half. But all they showed was Reggie
Speaker 4: getting after Eric Williams and complaining that Eric Williams was
Speaker 4: poking them in the eye. Probably was, and he probably was,
Speaker 4: he would right, sort of like Charles Haley Rush.
Speaker 6: He was John Madden's favorite. Yeah, John Madden's favorite was
Speaker 6: Eric Williams.
Speaker 5: So Glenville and the Falcons traded far after what season?
Speaker 4: I thought it was after or as rookie seas one
Speaker 4: ninety one.
Speaker 5: Okay, And so Glenville and the Falcons went six, ten,
Speaker 5: ninety two, and ninety three with Chris Miller at quarterback
Speaker 5: in ninety two and then Bobby Hebert at quarterback in
Speaker 5: ninety three. Yeah, and Rickshats continues in a moment.

Speaker 5: That's going to be soon because we're approaching that. They
Speaker 5: usually announce those, like with two weeks left in the season.
Speaker 5: But fluck, they announced the results of the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4: Because I don't think. Yeah, they usually when it was
Speaker 4: a sixteen game season, it was the coaches.
Speaker 5: Chris, they would announce the team.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the coaches and well, it used to be
Speaker 4: even sooner than that.
Speaker 5: Right where they where they would make their vote. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 4: Weeks of the season, don't don't wait.
Speaker 5: That's right. I'd say Brandon Aubrey's put out a pretty
Speaker 5: good resume.
Speaker 2: I think he's got a chance, slim chance, he might make.
Speaker 5: Uh, Cowboy's gonna have a lot of Pro Bowlers this year.
Speaker 4: I was trying to remember what his answer was. Somebody
Speaker 4: asked him after the game, when's the last time you've
Speaker 4: done a press conference? I think he said, I think
Speaker 4: I had one when I was and I got drafted
Speaker 4: in soccer.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, major League soccer, first round pick in Toronto. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so okay, this Buffalo team. What what is it that
Speaker 5: we've talked about, Josh Allen a little bit? What is
Speaker 5: it that?
Speaker 17: Uh?
Speaker 5: Oh, the sticks out?
Speaker 4: The other thing I noticed as he flips through.
Speaker 5: His Buffalo Bill's press release, just to note.
Speaker 12: Fan voting is open through Christmas Day and then players
Speaker 12: and coaches will then place their votes on December twenty ninth.
Speaker 4: Very good, Okay, the Bowl, we need Savannah here, I figured.
Speaker 7: Okay, on the onto the Bill.
Speaker 4: They have forty two sacks. They're tied for third most
Speaker 4: in the league right now. So offensive line beware.
Speaker 6: You know, a game like this to me is obvious.
Speaker 6: You don't want to put the ball in the air
Speaker 6: too much. You know, these kind of games you want
Speaker 6: to make sure you have a good ground attack. So
Speaker 6: I would be really interested in what their run defense
Speaker 6: looks like.
Speaker 2: You know who we have to look out for.
Speaker 6: Can they match up against our offensive line, who's been
Speaker 6: improving slightly every week? We haven't been you know, going backwards,
Speaker 6: we haven't been going to leave. We've been improving every
Speaker 6: week in our run game.
Speaker 5: They answer your question their run defense. They're nineteenth in
Speaker 5: the league in run defense. They lost at every level
Speaker 5: of their defense back in late September early October, they
Speaker 5: lost a primary player with parallels with the Cowboys. They
Speaker 5: lost their top maybe their top defensive player, Matt Mulano,
Speaker 5: linebacker in the fifth game of the season. And of
Speaker 5: course the Cowboys lost Layton vander esh in October as well.
Speaker 5: They lost Trey Davias White, their cornerback who's a former
Speaker 5: Pro bowler first of October. Of course, the Cowboys lost
Speaker 5: Dravon Diggs going way back, so there's a parallel. They
Speaker 5: also lost up front dayk One Jones, who is more
Speaker 5: of their run stuffing defensive tackle. To answer your question,
Speaker 5: they are hoping to get him back, I think at
Speaker 5: some point, but he went on ir back on October eleventh.
Speaker 5: He made sixteen starts last year. For him, doesn't rack
Speaker 5: up the big numbers that a one technique, but he
Speaker 5: is sixty four, three hundred and twenty two pounds. Their
Speaker 5: three technique at Oliver is their first round draft pick,
Speaker 5: you know now with a big contract, four year, sixty
Speaker 5: eight million dollar extension, and so Jordan Phillips, who is
Speaker 5: a big three hundred and thirty four sixty six three
Speaker 5: hundred and thirty four pound guy starts for DAYK one
Speaker 5: Jones right now.
Speaker 6: So if I'm Buffalo and I don't know if this
Speaker 6: is a trend as we get late to the season,
Speaker 6: I expect teams to think just like I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 6: I got to come in and run the ball. So
Speaker 6: I would imagine that the way they play defense during
Speaker 6: the second half the season might change a bit because
Speaker 6: they're going to get certain tendencies. Well, every team that's
Speaker 6: going to come in, they're thinking, man, this weather, we
Speaker 6: got to run the ball guys, because you know, I
Speaker 6: don't want to put the ball in there too much
Speaker 6: in this kind of weather.
Speaker 4: Well, they give up one hundred and fourteen yards rushing
Speaker 4: a game, but just nine rushing touchdowns so far. So
Speaker 4: and did I see Leonard Floyd? Was he on the
Speaker 4: Their injury report is.
Speaker 12: Yes, rist, but he was a full participant in their
Speaker 12: Wednesday okay walk through.
Speaker 4: So he has nine and a half sacks at Oliver
Speaker 4: has six and a half and Penisa aj has six
Speaker 4: and a half secks. So they have three.
Speaker 5: Times players who have at least a half sack this year.
Speaker 5: Now they are forty two sacks. There's fourteen different players
Speaker 5: who are participated in that.
Speaker 4: Gregory Russo has four and a half. So yeah, they've.
Speaker 5: Then he's an ant a good.
Speaker 4: Job with the with the sacks so far. So yeah,
Speaker 4: the offensive line kind of you're on notice.
Speaker 5: But also as far as that run defense. The guy
Speaker 5: that has emerged now that Milano has been out, especially
Speaker 5: the guy that has emerged at linebacker for them is
Speaker 5: a second year player, third round draft pick last year,
Speaker 5: Terrell Bernard Don Baylor, and he he's under size, much
Speaker 5: like Mark east Bell. Yeah, six one, two hundred and
Speaker 5: eighteen bounds, which is pretty much Marque's bell. So in
Speaker 5: this day and age in the NFL. He's got three interceptions,
Speaker 5: he's got three force fumbles. He's a leading tackler by
Speaker 5: a long.
Speaker 4: Few one hundred and twelve yelve.
Speaker 5: Think about Baylor though, Baylor was in the Big twelve
Speaker 5: championship game two years ago and he was his last
Speaker 5: year there. Jalen Petrie from the Texans, who's a heck
Speaker 5: of a player in his second year. He was on
Speaker 5: that Baylor team. There was a reason Baylor was as
Speaker 5: good as now. They haven't been good since then, but
Speaker 5: two years ago they were hitting it exactly with all
Speaker 5: these scrappy, little, smallish fast defensive players. In Terrell Bernard
Speaker 5: number forty three, you'll be seeing him on Sunday.
Speaker 4: So there you go. They a lot of sacks and
Speaker 4: they're pretty good against the run.
Speaker 12: So we need to beef up our run game a
Speaker 12: little bit.
Speaker 7: We get that rotation in with Rico.
Speaker 12: Daudl and Tony Paul and we have establish the run
Speaker 12: in those conditions out there.
Speaker 2: And we have to be account for the quarterback. So
Speaker 2: it's almost a Jalen Hurts no.
Speaker 6: Count on the defensive side for for Josh Allen. I
Speaker 6: mean this is something big. It's a bigger Jalen Hurts, right.
Speaker 6: I mean Jayleen is strong and might be strong, and
Speaker 6: he wants to be much, but he's not nearly as
Speaker 6: big as as Josh.
Speaker 12: And Josh Allen. And we saw when they played Philadelphia.
Speaker 12: He runs, He runs more than Jalen Hurts. He runs
Speaker 12: harder than exactly he runs. He's going to look to
Speaker 12: to escape the pocket and if he has a he's
Speaker 12: the ability to run.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the red zone, red zone, especially red zone guys.
Speaker 2: We gotta be ready for this guy.
Speaker 5: So how do you think Stefan Diggs approaches this game? Now,
Speaker 5: he's not going up against his brother.
Speaker 6: Come on, we'll talk about a missed opportunity there.
Speaker 5: That's my he'll be. I think he'll be in attendance,
Speaker 5: don't you think little family reunion?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta go see his brother.
Speaker 4: Six five, two thirty seven. By the way, that's a lot, Josh,
Speaker 4: that's a lot. Well, you're gonna see Stefan versus Stefan right.
Speaker 5: The former Bill's first round draft pick, Stepan Gilmore.
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, I mean he did.
Speaker 5: File is their motivation for Stefan Gilmore going back to
Speaker 5: Buffalo in this sense. Now, when he played for the Bills,
Speaker 5: his last head coach there was Rex Ryan, and we
Speaker 5: talked about earlier in the season. Dennis Thurman was the
Speaker 5: guy he credits. Stephan credits Dennis Thurman for really getting
Speaker 5: him on track in his career. His last two years.
Speaker 5: He was a defensive coordinator for Rex Ryan there and
Speaker 5: worked with Gilmore. The Gilmore left where he went so
Speaker 5: so Gilmore the backstory on that he left after the
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen seasons, played five seasons and so that's when
Speaker 5: that's when Sean McDermott became the head coach. They decided,
Speaker 5: I think they decided either not. He did play five years,
Speaker 5: but they didn't sign him to a long term contract,
Speaker 5: so he became a free agent and he goes to
Speaker 5: New England and a couple of years later, well, he
Speaker 5: wins the Super Bowl and he also becomes a Defensive
Speaker 5: Player of the Year in New England. Yeah right, but
Speaker 5: in Buffalo. But McDermott was the one basically that made
Speaker 5: the decision, Now, we don't need to spend that big
Speaker 5: money on this guy. And they and they in the
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen draft, they drafted Trudevius right, got what's.
Speaker 4: Who's hurt now? Right?
Speaker 5: Right? And he's hurt.
Speaker 4: In five years he had it was either twelve or
Speaker 4: fourteen interceptions, I remember writing it down. So had a
Speaker 4: pretty good career there. But you know, he he ended
Speaker 4: up on AJ Brown this past game. They switched him
Speaker 4: to DK Metcalf the second half of the Seattle game.
Speaker 4: So I'm wondering if it's like, Okay, let's make sure
Speaker 4: we'll take our chances with Gabe Davis and make sure
Speaker 4: that Stefan Diggs doesn't hurt us.
Speaker 6: One thing about older players, the second and half of
Speaker 6: the season is usually their best part of the season.
Speaker 6: It just seems that, you know, it takes you a
Speaker 6: little bit longer to adapt to the game itself, the
Speaker 6: game plans, especially a new team.
Speaker 2: Things of that nature.
Speaker 6: Your experience becomes much more important. Doing the latter part
Speaker 6: of the season. It just seems as if you know things,
Speaker 6: it's almost like your mind and your body warms up.
Speaker 6: It just takes it a while for older players to
Speaker 6: just you can see when Tom Brady, you know, he
Speaker 6: didn't just he didn't always come out, especially as he
Speaker 6: got older, you know, throwing darts.
Speaker 2: He got better as the season went on, as long
Speaker 2: as he wasn't too old.
Speaker 6: I'm talking about his last year, but his last maybe
Speaker 6: his third year, you know, when he was about to retire.
Speaker 2: But I know when I was there.
Speaker 6: You just things seem to flow mentally and physically a
Speaker 6: little bit better as you get later on into the season.
Speaker 4: And then it helps out when a young wide receiver
Speaker 4: or a younger wide receiver calls you old.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that he could have called him that
Speaker 6: when he maybe five games in. Yeah, but it's too
Speaker 6: late now, Yeah, he's old, but he's warmed up.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 6: The flow of the game right now is very easy
Speaker 6: for him. You can see it.
Speaker 2: And he's not having any major problems with anybody.
Speaker 4: He talked about that yesterday and uh, he said, yeah,
Speaker 4: he goes, you know, the younger guys on the team,
Speaker 4: the old man, and just to call me old. But
Speaker 4: he goes. It was the way he called me old.
Speaker 4: And I'm sure there was an adjective in front of yeah. Right,
Speaker 4: And somebody said, well, what did he say? He goes,
Speaker 4: I can't say that here.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking Stefan is not going to be talking yeah
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's He's wise enough.
Speaker 5: Don't pop the bear, although maybe Travon's chilling stuff fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, yeah right, he's not as good as me.
Speaker 17: Many brother, All right, we will shout at you again
Speaker 17: tomorrow at noon on the next edition of mix Shots.
Speaker 2: So Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
