Speaker 2: I love this day. Every It's great, yep. And what
Speaker 2: a great football weekend it is. Got kick started last
Speaker 2: night with a shocking result in the Thursday night game.
Speaker 2: I looked at my iPad, was shocking, really and a
Speaker 2: half time Chicago was watching it. I wasn't watching.
Speaker 3: I watched it.
Speaker 5: I watched it justin fields, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Justin fields, not justin fields.
Speaker 6: J DJ More and let's go.
Speaker 2: Someone's got DJ mores.
Speaker 5: I have justin fields and there.
Speaker 3: You go, There you go, there you go.
Speaker 6: Only thirty seven.
Speaker 3: She is pretty I think fifty five from DJ Moore.
Speaker 7: After losing fourteen consecutive games.
Speaker 3: I did not realize that it's been bad long.
Speaker 8: Somebody above was looking over them.
Speaker 2: And then somebody is also going to be looking over
Speaker 2: the Cowboys on Sunday night because they're playing an opponent
Speaker 2: who's won fourteen in a row regular season. Right, Yes,
Speaker 2: they have all I have an idea. I don't picking
Speaker 2: on Sunday night.
Speaker 3: I love it. We gotta wait the entire day. We
Speaker 3: have to wait the entire day, watch all that football
Speaker 3: after the long then all of a sudden, you're tired.
Speaker 3: You pick it up again. You got to pick up
Speaker 3: the energy again for this game.
Speaker 6: You realize the Bears did it for Dick Buckers.
Speaker 3: Right, and that's something, isn't That's something? It had to be, right,
Speaker 3: it had to be. I mean, what are the odds,
Speaker 3: especially the bad day that day on the road, riverboat.
Speaker 2: Thursday game on the road, because usually the advantage is
Speaker 2: to the home team, and.
Speaker 3: They had a short week and they had to travel.
Speaker 3: That's a pretty impressive win.
Speaker 7: Well, I had halftime. I was sitting there going, okay,
Speaker 7: they did this.
Speaker 6: On Selday and got bright and.
Speaker 8: Then Washington goes down and scores.
Speaker 3: Oh you because we were already counting us as a win.
Speaker 3: Everyone was counting as a win. When's the last time
Speaker 3: they won? Wow? This is amazing.
Speaker 8: At halftime, So did you did you play against Dick Buckets?
Speaker 3: You are such a mass That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 3: That's all I gotta say. That's all that would answer
Speaker 3: your question.
Speaker 2: We played against buck Is in our in our kids
Speaker 2: edition of Fantasy Football back in the day off the
Speaker 2: front yard. The other team had Dick buck Is at
Speaker 2: middle linebacker.
Speaker 3: He might have been me and me and meyl Renfrow. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we were back there together.
Speaker 7: The first NFL game I ever went to Bears at
Speaker 7: home at Wrigley Field against the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2: Wait, Wriggly Field the baseball teams.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, what you talking?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 7: The Bears squeezed in one hundred yards on that field,
Speaker 7: by the way, squeezed And we were sitting in behind
Speaker 7: the goalpost at one end of the field behind the
Speaker 7: end zone and they were warming up and Bucks comes
Speaker 7: walking out and I must have been I don't know,
Speaker 7: thirteen fourteen maybe, so he was a rookie in sixty five,
Speaker 7: so this had to be sixty six, sixty seven somewhere
Speaker 7: in there.
Speaker 6: And I thought he was.
Speaker 7: The biggest human being I ever see, because he had
Speaker 7: them big middle linebacker shoulder bad side and I'm going,
Speaker 7: holy Kyle, look at that.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 7: Uh, that was my first impression.
Speaker 3: He wasn't just big. He could move. Yeah, he could move.
Speaker 3: That was scary watching him come around. Could you imagine
Speaker 3: being a running back? No, and you know he's gonna
Speaker 3: shoot that hole. He's going to meet you in the hole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, larger than life figure.
Speaker 8: Think about that.
Speaker 7: The Bears that for that sixty five draft they get
Speaker 7: Dick Buckers and then Gail Sayers in the first round.
Speaker 2: How many playoff games win? None?
Speaker 3: None?
Speaker 2: I mean they're playing none.
Speaker 3: What is happening? Why is that?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 8: I asked me who the quarterback was.
Speaker 3: I guess backs were important back then as well.
Speaker 6: I think that was the problem.
Speaker 2: Right when was Jack and Cannon there?
Speaker 6: It would have been after that.
Speaker 9: After Yeah, all right, that's far back as I go
Speaker 9: with my Chicago Bobby Douglas can't of course, Bobby doug Yeah, Lefty,
Speaker 9: we can go through a lot.
Speaker 3: Of left He ran the ball all the time. I
Speaker 3: didn't know what left because he ran.
Speaker 6: A lot of quarterbacks. They went through until they won
Speaker 6: a super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was our trip down.
Speaker 6: Yes, about that memory, Lane, I think deserved that.
Speaker 2: Yes, he did, definitely, definitely, And you want to tease
Speaker 2: the text line out there, and people want to chime
Speaker 2: in absolutely one seven two nine oh three two nine
Speaker 2: eight if you got a question as we are two
Speaker 2: days away from kickoff in Santa Clara, California, or a
Speaker 2: comment that you'd like to make about the game, and
Speaker 2: you know, it looks like it's just judging by the
Speaker 2: practice report yesterday that the Cowboys could have should have
Speaker 2: a health.
Speaker 5: Where's a piece of wood?
Speaker 2: Only you're holding out.
Speaker 7: I already got chewed out by a guy that I
Speaker 7: think when he heard his talk about the starting five
Speaker 7: being ready for the Arizona game, I got the feeling
Speaker 7: that he might have put a bet on that game.
Speaker 6: Because he let me know, how could you.
Speaker 8: Miss three guys?
Speaker 2: Well? What was the That's what I saw that's what
Speaker 2: I said this morning.
Speaker 6: This morning looked good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks promising.
Speaker 7: But you heard what Dak said right when they asked
Speaker 7: him about it. He goes, I don't think I'm answering
Speaker 7: that because the last time I said yes, things didn't
Speaker 7: go So they.
Speaker 5: Don't want to jinx it either.
Speaker 10: But yesterday after the show, me and Mickey we were
Speaker 10: out there scoping it out and it was nice seeing
Speaker 10: them all together.
Speaker 5: So positive signs.
Speaker 3: So you saw in.
Speaker 2: Pad it's the important practice of the week and on
Speaker 2: the written on the practice report it said full right.
Speaker 7: It's Iron Smith full, It says, I.
Speaker 3: Went away.
Speaker 2: This technology, Yeah, where's your legal pad?
Speaker 3: It works better than his phone.
Speaker 7: Even Zach Martin full tumadoga full just in case they
Speaker 7: have to get six in there. So I went back
Speaker 7: and Michael Parsons limited but full.
Speaker 2: Okay, he ain't missing.
Speaker 3: You don't even ask.
Speaker 6: I went back and look this game.
Speaker 7: The last time they had their uh starting starting five
Speaker 7: that we considered their starting five would have been the
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one season playoff game against the San Francisco
Speaker 7: forty nine ers, because all last season Tyron Smith missed
Speaker 7: until t Terrence Steele tore his acl and then he
Speaker 7: came on.
Speaker 6: But then there was no Terrence Steele.
Speaker 7: And if you think about it, during the offseason, Terrence
Speaker 7: Steele was out, Zack Martin was out, and really early
Speaker 7: in training camp there was no Zach Martin and then
Speaker 7: Tyler Smith got hurt. So really, this week kind of
Speaker 7: the first full practice in eons that the top five
Speaker 7: offensive linemen have practiced together.
Speaker 3: That says a lot about what we've been going through
Speaker 3: for what two.
Speaker 7: Years and sort of somewhat surviving by the way with
Speaker 7: twelve wins, because we saw what's been happening to teams
Speaker 7: with backup offensive lineman in there when it's multiple backup
Speaker 7: offensive linemen. So yeah, this is to me open up
Speaker 7: the playbook.
Speaker 6: Let's go.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 10: We have a question already about about some of this.
Speaker 10: So Rusty from Omaha wants to know what is the
Speaker 10: likelihood of Tyrone Smith, Zach Martin being effective against the
Speaker 10: forty nine ers, top tier D line and Bosa.
Speaker 8: Well, if they're listed is fully practicing.
Speaker 7: Then they should be ready to go. I think Zach
Speaker 7: for sure. Tyron hasn't played in a couple of weeks,
Speaker 7: but a little bit of Tyron to me is.
Speaker 8: Better than anybody else you met out.
Speaker 3: I agree with that one.
Speaker 8: Whoever is is one hundred percent health.
Speaker 2: Right, especially because they're also keeping in mind the big
Speaker 2: picture of the season. They're not going to put Tyron
Speaker 2: out there if he's not ready to go, risking a
Speaker 2: further injury that's going to put him out for multiple weeks.
Speaker 2: They're going to make sure he's going as important as
Speaker 2: we all are going to make this game out. It's
Speaker 2: still week five.
Speaker 3: And we're still it's still just a measuring point. That's
Speaker 3: all this So it's not just for the team, but
Speaker 3: also for timing. See where he's at. Who's he going
Speaker 3: up against?
Speaker 6: Well, well, the right side.
Speaker 7: Let's see if they list right and left on their deal,
Speaker 7: so he's on the left side, so it'd be the
Speaker 7: right defensive end by the name of Nick Bosa.
Speaker 5: H how about that.
Speaker 3: Both sides.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they'll kind of move him around.
Speaker 3: Fine, So if it's not If it's not Bosa, then it's.
Speaker 2: Who was a first round pick of Vegas, fourth pick
Speaker 2: in the draft four years ago and didn't do much
Speaker 2: in Vegas and he's actually starting here in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: But Drake Jackson is another guy who was their second
Speaker 2: round pick last year. Who's edge guy? You don't want
Speaker 2: to mention Carrie Hyder Well, Kerry Hider too, that's right
Speaker 2: in Texas. Iterator out of Austin, Texas and spent a
Speaker 2: little got a cup of coffee here with the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: He's had a nice he's put together a nice career.
Speaker 7: And I would imagine, you know, with their linebackers, they'll
Speaker 7: be shooting those guys green.
Speaker 6: Law for sure.
Speaker 7: But yeah, it'd be nice to have everybody back there.
Speaker 7: And now it's it's sort of like, you know, it's
Speaker 7: talent is one thing, but the communication is another too.
Speaker 8: Right, those guys play next to each other.
Speaker 7: And you know they kind of know what each other's
Speaker 7: doing and communicating.
Speaker 8: I mean, think about it, that Arizona game.
Speaker 7: They had two guys on the practice squad starting their
Speaker 7: first NFL games, you know, and I think that limits
Speaker 7: what you can do offensively. So the fact that that
Speaker 7: game was twenty one sixteen before they gave up but
Speaker 7: sixty nine yard completion to set up the winning touch
Speaker 7: or the clinching touchdown, you know, kind of bodes well
Speaker 7: to what they almost pulled down.
Speaker 3: And you know, an any quarterback is human, you know,
Speaker 3: when you know that you've got some guys out there
Speaker 3: that are not quite up to sniff you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. As a quarterback, you gotta have one out
Speaker 3: here and one out here while you're trying to keep
Speaker 3: yourself on your wide receivers. That's a tough thing to do.
Speaker 3: You know that their mistakes are probably going to be
Speaker 3: made on certain plays, and you're going to try account
Speaker 3: for that yourself as an individual. But it's hard to
Speaker 3: do that when you've got three You've got three linemen
Speaker 3: out and you got to depend on them to do
Speaker 3: what they have to do while you can keep your
Speaker 3: timing down the field.
Speaker 7: It's a tough deal, Absolutely tough deal, especially when two
Speaker 7: of them are coming right at.
Speaker 3: You, right at you. Right. Yeah.
Speaker 7: So anyway, this kind of gives you a little bit more,
Speaker 7: you know, feel good about potential of this offense.
Speaker 2: What would you say is the X factor for the
Speaker 2: Cowboys in this game?
Speaker 3: That's a good question, William, such a good question.
Speaker 6: You want to either a little bit either side of
Speaker 6: the ball.
Speaker 3: No, No, I think well not, I'll be giving away
Speaker 3: my my I don't.
Speaker 2: Want to give hesitated because I didn't want to.
Speaker 7: Well, then your X factor is not Michael Parsons, because
Speaker 7: you can't.
Speaker 3: Michael.
Speaker 2: Your X factor is Michael Parson.
Speaker 3: That's not an X factor, that's that's a through Z factor.
Speaker 7: Tomorrow, Michael Parsons, he's got to have a big game.
Speaker 7: And you know what, And this got lost I think
Speaker 7: in the shuffle of talking about everything McCaffrey's doing this year,
Speaker 7: brock Purty, But in the playoff game last year that
Speaker 7: the Cowboys lost nineteen to twelve, by the way, that
Speaker 7: was holding the forty nine ers to their fewest points
Speaker 7: in like the last ten games or so, and so
Speaker 7: certainly the few fewest points than and actually and the
Speaker 7: fewest points in their first two playoff games, I mean
Speaker 7: count those into until they ran out of quarterbacks in
Speaker 7: the NFC title game. McCaffrey had ten carries in that
Speaker 7: playoff game for thirty five yards, six catches for twenty
Speaker 7: two yards, so he had ten sixteen touches for fifty
Speaker 7: seven yards.
Speaker 8: They shut him down.
Speaker 7: Now, I don't know if he was coming off an
Speaker 7: injury back then memory he wasn't quite healthy, right, yeah,
Speaker 7: but they did a number on him and held San
Speaker 7: Francisco to nineteen points.
Speaker 8: So if the offense had just done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say. The problem was that they
Speaker 3: held us to our lowest output as well. Yeah, twelve Yeah,
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just you could look at numbers and
Speaker 3: you could just put it out there, but a couple
Speaker 3: of those carries and catches they moved the chains and
Speaker 3: some very crucial points of the ball game.
Speaker 6: Here's my note.
Speaker 7: So the Cowboys were one of two teams holding San
Speaker 7: Francisco to fewer than thirty points in the last ten
Speaker 7: games three three the final three games of twenty twenty two,
Speaker 7: three playoff games, and four already this season, so they've
Speaker 7: been scoring.
Speaker 2: The other thing in that game, Elijah Mitchell had fourteen
Speaker 2: carries for fifty one yards, so.
Speaker 3: He was that's the one we couldn't hold. Fourteen for
Speaker 3: fifteen kept the change moving. I know, those chains kept moving.
Speaker 3: Maybe it wasn't McCaffrey, but I still under four yards
Speaker 3: of carry, but important yards.
Speaker 8: And if I remember right, they only scored one touchdown.
Speaker 3: Well, when you look at only putting out twelve points yourself,
Speaker 3: every yard is.
Speaker 7: Crucial, absolutely, and you got to you got to score
Speaker 7: and again, and you know I'm not big on well
Speaker 7: who did they play, because you can only play who
Speaker 7: they tell you to play. But with Washington's loss last night,
Speaker 7: the four teams they've played now have a combined record
Speaker 7: of six and eleven and the best records.
Speaker 6: Two and two.
Speaker 7: So they haven't played anybody with a winning record.
Speaker 3: Yet, just like us. Yeah, this matchup is raizor thin
Speaker 3: in the difference razor thin. I'm loving it, especially now
Speaker 3: that we have all our linemen back. This is really
Speaker 3: going to be a good a good game. It will
Speaker 3: be important, but it won't be the end of the season.
Speaker 3: I was telling Spags or someone, we still have to
Speaker 3: play the Charges afterwards on Monday night.
Speaker 6: Yeah, in La, you know.
Speaker 3: And so this season keeps on going.
Speaker 7: And I thought Jerry kept it in perspective this morning.
Speaker 7: He said, this is a tremendous game for us to
Speaker 7: see how we stack up, and that's it.
Speaker 3: That's it, right, So and then the next game we'll
Speaker 3: see how well we bounce back. Yeah, and how well
Speaker 3: we play on the road, you know, two games in
Speaker 3: a row, and so there's always a measuring stick that
Speaker 3: we have this early in the season.
Speaker 7: Speaking of the road, they've been pretty dominant at home.
Speaker 7: Last year they went eight and one at home, and
Speaker 7: then two playoff games they won, and then this year
Speaker 7: they're two and oh at home, So ten and one
Speaker 7: including are actually twelve and one including the playoffs and
Speaker 7: the start of since the start of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Two, Mickey, how have the Cowboys been at home?
Speaker 8: They've won ten straight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're on a ten game win streak right now.
Speaker 2: Confirmation right there, So they're in a nutshell? Is how
Speaker 2: important Sunday Night is, right if you're looking ahead to
Speaker 2: the possibilities in the playoffs. Further implication, if you can
Speaker 2: have home field advantage in the playoffs, it can help
Speaker 2: you out immensely.
Speaker 3: It can. Yeah, but it's not. It's not.
Speaker 2: It's not the determining factor.
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, to go somewhere that feeling is amazing.
Speaker 3: When you do that, you feel a lot better about
Speaker 3: having home field. Event.
Speaker 2: My favorite game I've ever watched, I think my favorite
Speaker 2: Cowboy game I ever watched was in San Francisco NFC
Speaker 2: Championship game season A thirty to twenty wins.
Speaker 8: So the Cowboys won that on the road.
Speaker 7: The previous one they lost on the road, and the
Speaker 7: next one after that to them, they lost on the road.
Speaker 7: Ninety four and then twenty twenty two season.
Speaker 2: Right, But if you go all the way back to
Speaker 2: the seventy to the seventy.
Speaker 3: We got I knew that.
Speaker 11: There was a Rogers Starbach came off the bench in
Speaker 11: the final two minutes of the game and threw two
Speaker 11: touchdown passes, and Tony Fritz had a behind the back
Speaker 11: on side kick that was recovered by the Cowboys behind
Speaker 11: the cave, behind the cast.
Speaker 3: You can't go behind the back on the kit. It
Speaker 3: was behind it.
Speaker 8: Although I think behind the heel, behind the heel, the whole.
Speaker 7: Field advantaged at the Candlestick was a little different than
Speaker 7: Levi's stadium.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt that crappy.
Speaker 2: It might have been Keyzars Stadium back then.
Speaker 6: It probably was it.
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 6: I think so Keysar was.
Speaker 3: I think in seventy one.
Speaker 2: I think I think the old NFL film's footage whose
Speaker 2: AstroTurf that Larry Cole was rolling around that? Yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: we continue with more mix shots in just a moment.
Speaker 6: That was no turfing.
Speaker 4: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they snapped.
Speaker 2: The fresh guy who looks white, it's not there. He escaped, flapped,
Speaker 2: He'll look full punch down.
Speaker 3: Just like football.
Speaker 4: When it comes to crypto, it's important to have a
Speaker 4: team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com, I know
Speaker 4: I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've been trusted
Speaker 4: by millions around the world to buy, sell, and trade
Speaker 4: crypto currency.
Speaker 7: Prescott's gonna run this sh in show, run it up
Speaker 7: the middle, and he scores.
Speaker 4: Whether you're new to crypto or an active trader, They've
Speaker 4: got you covered.
Speaker 3: What are you waiting for?
Speaker 4: Get started at blockchain dot com.
Speaker 12: You know that sound anywhere. It's the crisp crunch, that
Speaker 12: first nacho chip with its perfect cheese to sour cream
Speaker 12: ratio sitting atop a layer of delicious beans. It's a
Speaker 12: sip away from perfection.
Speaker 5: That's what we're looking for.
Speaker 12: Add a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana.
Speaker 12: Because while you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 12: savory topping, there's no topping of school pepsi. Finish nachos
Speaker 12: better with pepsi.
Speaker 5: That's what I like.

Speaker 4: Ah Is he there right now?
Speaker 2: I think he's the's cousin.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think the more the more intelligent. Cousin.
Speaker 2: Yes, I can see the picture now he's got glasses
Speaker 2: readers on, looking at his computer.
Speaker 10: Exactly well, he says, the great thing about this game
Speaker 10: is the coaches don't have to over coach.
Speaker 2: Can you do it in Nathaniel in San Francisco's accent?
Speaker 3: He has an accent? How do you know he has
Speaker 3: an accent? I can just picture. It's not a phone
Speaker 3: call text.
Speaker 5: Come on, let's call it.
Speaker 3: What was it again?
Speaker 2: What was the questioning?
Speaker 5: It wasn't a question, that was a little statement.
Speaker 10: The great thing about this game is the coaches don't
Speaker 10: have to overca.
Speaker 6: They really don't very true, just roll the ball out.
Speaker 3: Well, this is still one of those games. They still
Speaker 3: don't want to show everything. You know, if you're a
Speaker 3: coach that you come out you know, both bells blazing,
Speaker 3: you come out.
Speaker 2: With everything, the statue of liberty for the playoffs.
Speaker 3: See what I'm saying. Do you come out with with
Speaker 3: another special teams play?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: I don't know. To me, I'm going to see if
Speaker 3: we can beat them just with what we have. I'm
Speaker 3: not going to try and get too cute and because
Speaker 3: you know, QTE can come later. We don't need cute
Speaker 3: right now. It doesn't show, it doesn't prove, we needn
Speaker 3: we need to sell. We can just with that's braun.
Speaker 6: That's it ice icebag game.
Speaker 7: And by the way, we need to After Everson and
Speaker 7: I did our Star Sports to her appearance, this guy
Speaker 7: came up to me from New Hampshire and and he
Speaker 7: said that he listens to us religiously because this is
Speaker 7: one of their breaks at work and they sit around whatever,
Speaker 7: they pull it up on and listen to mix shots.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, wow, all the way to New Hampshire.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that. If you have an X factor in this game,
Speaker 2: hit us up on X.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: There was great, very nice.
Speaker 5: Way to go.
Speaker 3: He didn't sound comfortable saying it, but that was good.
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 6: It was a little skeptic.
Speaker 2: It was X factor. Is Tony Pollard? Okay, which Tony Pollard?
Speaker 2: What did he do in the playoff game in January?
Speaker 2: He got hurt.
Speaker 8: He got hurt before the significant interception.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 2: And I think it was six carries that he had
Speaker 2: in that game.
Speaker 6: I think you're right.
Speaker 2: The previous January at at and T Stadium. If it
Speaker 2: was fore carries in that game. So I think if
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard can be the Tony Pollard we know he
Speaker 2: can be and stay healthy and they can use him
Speaker 2: like they want to use him, that he could be
Speaker 2: the X factor in this game.
Speaker 7: I think that's a.
Speaker 2: He can be. He can be the Cowboys Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 2: because they're talking about not just running can be.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's not a no doubt that in my mind
Speaker 3: that he could be.
Speaker 2: I think that that is what he can.
Speaker 7: Be here because they need to give them something else
Speaker 7: to worry about.
Speaker 3: My ex factor would be time and Smith. I think
Speaker 3: the more comfortable Dak feels back there. I think he
Speaker 3: has a lot to do with that. That's your blindside.
Speaker 3: Whenever we're doing well, we have time to pass the ball.
Speaker 3: And whenever we have time to pass the ball, he
Speaker 3: feels comfortable that he doesn't have to worry about his backside.
Speaker 3: And I think time and being there not only just
Speaker 3: for a past protection, but we like to attack the corners.
Speaker 3: We'd like to attack the outside and I run the game.
Speaker 3: I think that would be a nice change for us
Speaker 3: to go that way.
Speaker 6: Because they need to pop one. They do with power
Speaker 6: and that really.
Speaker 2: Kind of like what San Francisco, they popped one on
Speaker 2: a scramble drill and got the ball to Kittle on
Speaker 2: that long play. That was a huge play in that game,
Speaker 2: in the playoff game, and in a game where you're
Speaker 2: it's tight going back and forth, to have a fifty
Speaker 2: yard play, you can flip the field and get momentum
Speaker 2: on your site and be a huge factor in the game,
Speaker 2: no doubt.
Speaker 7: So Pollard's long run is thirty one yards and the
Speaker 7: reception is nineteen, So they need to pop a fifty
Speaker 7: yard around them, By god.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think they're going to be going
Speaker 3: for a big place. I think we're going to continue grinding.
Speaker 7: Well, you can grind and have a number one.
Speaker 3: The Yeah, keep those third downs going.
Speaker 8: Forty eight point nine percent conversions the.
Speaker 2: Third down, which brings us to another X factor. And
Speaker 2: by the way, the definition of an X factor a
Speaker 2: variable in a given situation that could have the most
Speaker 2: significant impact on the outcome. So, like I said, Cowboys
Speaker 2: number one and third down percentage on offense, what are
Speaker 2: they in the red zone? Thirtieth thirtieth? So it's the
Speaker 2: other thing Like the Niners last year, they had the
Speaker 2: long pass to Kittle. When they did get into the
Speaker 2: red zone, they got the penalty that helped them have
Speaker 2: factored in. That was an X factor, so we were
Speaker 2: able to get the ball in the end zone officials,
Speaker 2: So some success success in the red zone.
Speaker 10: Mine's going to be Deron Bland because I know they're
Speaker 10: going to run the ball with McCaffrey a lot.
Speaker 5: However, brock perty.
Speaker 10: He's going to make some of those throws to the
Speaker 10: wide receivers and you got to have Deron Bland some
Speaker 10: guys out there looking out for a potential pick.
Speaker 3: And having said that, Auk has been balling exactly we're
Speaker 3: worried about. Devo. Ayuk has been balling. I think he
Speaker 3: has some career right now. He's having this career.
Speaker 5: High and career high against Arizona.
Speaker 10: He has the fifth ranks fifth in the league in
Speaker 10: explosive plays, leads the league in yards yards per route run,
Speaker 10: and he has zero drops so far this season.
Speaker 7: Well, he had a forty two yard catch, so that
Speaker 7: helped his eighteen point eight.
Speaker 6: Yard average per catch.
Speaker 7: It's only got seventeen catches in four games, but they got.
Speaker 6: To watch for that big play.
Speaker 7: It's the big place right, because McCaffrey's actually their leading
Speaker 7: receiver with eighteen. I'm sticking with the lionbacker. The lionbacker,
Speaker 7: that's a new position on the count.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: Where's the lionbacker going two?
Speaker 6: And that's the other part. Get him all over the place.
Speaker 3: Would you want to match him up.
Speaker 8: Against keep the linebacker after the Christian?
Speaker 3: Would you want to? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Would you catch that.
Speaker 2: He talking about being headed this.
Speaker 3: Catholics Catholic.
Speaker 6: I can get away with it.
Speaker 2: So you want to line him up wherever, wherever it's convenient.
Speaker 7: Whatever, wherever you think you you've got a weakness if
Speaker 7: that's up the middle.
Speaker 2: Do you think they have a weakness at left tackle? Yes,
Speaker 2: I do, Trent Williams.
Speaker 7: Especially if they make them stay on the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sure coaches have come up to the referees
Speaker 3: and brought this point up.
Speaker 8: I don't think it's helped.
Speaker 7: I watched two of their games, and he is never
Speaker 7: more than I mean closer than three.
Speaker 3: You go back to last year, it's the same thing,
Speaker 3: going back to a game.
Speaker 7: What that little toe dig is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, please, Chris, jeez, he's still on the road. Well
Speaker 3: maybe maybe not, And.
Speaker 8: I think the defensive guys recognize that too.
Speaker 6: They see that, Yeah.
Speaker 2: What does that tip them off to that it's going
Speaker 2: to be a pass or a run or what?
Speaker 6: What do you think the snap's coming?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, should help, that's their silent count, I guess.
Speaker 7: But it shouldn't be. It should be a false start
Speaker 7: to me. I mean, if you're lined up and all
Speaker 7: you do is do this with your elbow, throw the flag.
Speaker 3: So then if if if he causes has he caused
Speaker 3: a defender to jump off side and they call it
Speaker 3: against the defense? That part, because it seems like you
Speaker 3: should just go ahead and test the referee, push it,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? When he does that, you
Speaker 3: take off hey, hey, roughly be moved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't even have to go all the
Speaker 2: way across the line of scrimmage where you would be
Speaker 2: in the neutral zone. You can just when you see
Speaker 2: that tow dig, just go, you know, fake like you're
Speaker 2: going back. And then it looks like to.
Speaker 3: The ones, I don't think anyone has done that.
Speaker 6: I'm going to chart toe digs.
Speaker 8: It's going to be the next GM staff.
Speaker 2: All right, We continue with our picks to click and
Speaker 2: our predictions when we come back here on mix shots.

Speaker 7: They act like Trey Lance knew what was going on.
Speaker 7: They're picking his brain.
Speaker 8: And it's like, okay, enough is enough.
Speaker 7: My question is have the forty nine ers picked Anthony
Speaker 7: Brown's brain because he is on the fifty three man
Speaker 7: roster as a backup right cornerback. I'm sure they have,
Speaker 7: but I didn't see anybody write about it.

Speaker 3: Cowboys twenty four to twenty one. And it's a tough one.

Speaker 7: Games, especially when they asked him about the forty nine
Speaker 7: ers don't turn the ball over very much and you
Speaker 7: guys get a lot of takeaways, and they asked him
Speaker 7: what he thought about it.

Speaker 2: Brandon Aubrey or are we doing something crazy?
Speaker 3: One field goal?
Speaker 6: Safe safety?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, Well, the way the way I are a
Speaker 3: red zone is point. It could be for field goals
Speaker 3: as long as we win. I don't care the way
Speaker 3: our red zone is going.
Speaker 7: As long as you hold them to twenty four, which
Speaker 7: would be the first time they've held under.
Speaker 8: Thirty this year.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, they've you got thirty or more points
Speaker 2: in all four games they.
Speaker 7: Played, thirty, thirty, thirty and thirty five.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've got a question before I make my pick.
Speaker 2: To win, but we got to help you out. Well,
Speaker 2: my score is the same, guys, My score is the
Speaker 2: same as someone who has already predicted the score. That's
Speaker 2: all right, that's okay, all right. Well on this Texas
