Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is Mick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys have now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola Dallas Cowboys, the go team of the
Speaker 1: senior boat. What does that mean? I remember that. I'm like, Wow,
Speaker 1: they got an all inclusive. They're giving her advice in love.
Speaker 1: They most of the financial finaceding record. Yeah, a throwback
Speaker 1: to the good old days when the Cowboys on a
Speaker 1: fairly regular basis, we're scoring fifty six and fifty nine
Speaker 1: points a game. And here we are, and salute to
Speaker 1: Chris Beam. But remembering the stampede. After a Cowboys fifty
Speaker 1: six to fourteen stampede over the Washington football team, I
Speaker 1: was got fifty six fifty six? Had that? Let me
Speaker 1: look at the pick to click. Who I think I
Speaker 1: had it last week? Yeah? Fifty two last week I
Speaker 1: almost had. I think I almost had half of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fifty two seven and Dig's gonna get two picks. Bill,
Speaker 1: that's what you had. I was predicting that was a
Speaker 1: week in advance. You were off seven days. Mine was
Speaker 1: twenty seven thirteen. I think it was so menial. I
Speaker 1: don't even think. Oh I did here twenty five to ten. No,
Speaker 1: it was twenty four to ten or something like that.
Speaker 1: Ye twenty seven ten twenty said thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: and picked the clicks I said, I said, dis yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah I did. I said, Dicks, you know what, we
Speaker 1: didn't pick this week, did we because we didn't have
Speaker 1: a show on Friday, But we did. You did well?
Speaker 1: Picked and I did on my CBS eleven Cowboys Game
Speaker 1: Day show. And guess whom I picked the click was
Speaker 1: Diggs Man. I one, okay, I didn't think it. I
Speaker 1: didn't predict it's gonna be the first play of the game.
Speaker 1: I say, one, yeah, yeah, I just wanted it. And
Speaker 1: the reason I said Diggs, I wanted to give a
Speaker 1: shout out to my buddy ever since on CBS eleven.
Speaker 1: So I did. So. I got a shout out this
Speaker 1: weekend on my gut feeling for the Dallas Cowboys dot com.
Speaker 1: I had twenty seven thirteen, and I said that Diggs
Speaker 1: will get the interception to tie ever since. But we
Speaker 1: all agreed on that it was pretty easy prediction. Well
Speaker 1: it was, and I expect it to come so soon. God,
Speaker 1: that was so crazy they had. I was fortunate enough
Speaker 1: to be the alumni legends alumni whatever they call it.
Speaker 1: And let's go with a legend legend. Yeah, cowboy community legend.
Speaker 1: I think it's legends. Yes, let's give it this proper dude.
Speaker 1: And I took my daughter and Michael Down's daughter, Carolyn
Speaker 1: came with her. So they were in the background and
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking trash. I'm sitting you know, So
Speaker 1: what sweet were you in? I was in the They
Speaker 1: had the uh uh Ring of honor. Oh, aged five
Speaker 1: eighty one. Okay, that's what it was. So you're in
Speaker 1: the ring of honor. See, I was only in the suite.
Speaker 1: They let me business it once in a while, Bill,
Speaker 1: just to tease me and piss me off. So no,
Speaker 1: but we were everyone was in there. Uh we end
Speaker 1: up changing sweets. But no, we had a few guys
Speaker 1: in there, and uh it was Chad. Chad was there.
Speaker 1: Uh and and uh Dixon Netbooks was in there, and
Speaker 1: you know, we had a lot of fun. We were
Speaker 1: talking trash and so as they introduced me, I was
Speaker 1: saying something silly and then I sat down. We were
Speaker 1: all still laughing. We were all still laughing. And the
Speaker 1: next thing, you know, I look up and he's trying
Speaker 1: digs and you could just imagine how silly that game
Speaker 1: plan was. So I imagine, how is gonna come in.
Speaker 1: We're gonna show you, guys know, we're coming right at
Speaker 1: your Yeah, We're gonna show you what's up. And then
Speaker 1: oh he did was sparked us. From then on. After
Speaker 1: that interception, we forgot about the lack of daisical first uh,
Speaker 1: first drive and after that we're going I think Dak said,
Speaker 1: why would you do that? Why would you? I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean tell me, so, were you settled down before
Speaker 1: the play started? We had we know, we had sat down.
Speaker 1: I barely saw the play as I sat down. I'm
Speaker 1: talking trash. Everybody around it. We're laughing fun and everybody
Speaker 1: saw blah blah. My daughter, you know, she's on social media,
Speaker 1: so she's telling me off. And before we could look up,
Speaker 1: that was it. Because they I'm pretty sure they introduced
Speaker 1: me right before. Y Yeah. And so I was going
Speaker 1: to ask you, what were your thoughts when you saw
Speaker 1: the ball in the air well when he when he
Speaker 1: called it, I remember standing up like that is you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I have my hands. I mean
Speaker 1: I have my fist up like I was mine, like
Speaker 1: I got the interception. So well, everybody's going crazy in there,
Speaker 1: and the first thing we see is his son, right,
Speaker 1: and that was hilarious. We all sat down and just
Speaker 1: started cracking up because the sun was he was he
Speaker 1: was doing all his moves. I don't know one of
Speaker 1: the moves those works, but that's what we immediately started
Speaker 1: sitting down and and we laughed at him and pointing
Speaker 1: at him. And I think by the time they got
Speaker 1: the camera and me, we had settled down already, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you're looking at your cell phone. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: looking very you know. That was not it when it
Speaker 1: first happened. I knew it was gonna happen. When I
Speaker 1: saw the ball in the air, I was already up
Speaker 1: with my hands in the air. I knew that was
Speaker 1: gonna be it. And you're gonna tell that didn't look
Speaker 1: like Everson Walls in the same it did. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: that's the same way I that's the same way I
Speaker 1: surpassed mel renfro same side of the field against the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, same route, but at that time I had
Speaker 1: surpassed him. So we're still waiting on on on the
Speaker 1: extent to do that, and he's got two more games.
Speaker 1: So that was for your eleventh. It was against the Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: same route, and it was game fifteen. On the game fifteen,
Speaker 1: Mayl got his, but Mayl got his, remember in fourteen
Speaker 1: fourteen season. Yeah, so let's remember that. And on Twitter,
Speaker 1: he finally rose up Dick night Train Lane's son. Really
Speaker 1: he sent out a tweet and like, yes, they finally Uh,
Speaker 1: Chris Collins would have called his dad's name, which was
Speaker 1: extremely cool because he said, there it is. So he's
Speaker 1: got three and a half more than it's fourteen and
Speaker 1: a half. Night Train Night Train had fourteen games, Uh,
Speaker 1: fourteen half twelve you get a half. Know what he's
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, I was thinking I'm going forward that
Speaker 1: I was. I was trying to move forward Bill. I
Speaker 1: believe Bill doesn't miss any keep trying to keep my train. Thought,
Speaker 1: so his was fourteen, I believe it is fourteen. It
Speaker 1: was something like fourteen, fourteen and a half something, and
Speaker 1: his was probably in his was probably in twelve half games,
Speaker 1: twelve games. That's what I thought. I thought Dix was
Speaker 1: in twelve games, fourteen interceptions in twelve games. That's what
Speaker 1: I thought you mean? Night Train night Dick nightrainin right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, what the thing you said on fourteen and
Speaker 1: fourteen games? Okay, so night train fourteen in twelve games, yes, um,
Speaker 1: mel Renfeld ten in fourteen games. Okay. I got my
Speaker 1: my eleven in the fifteenth game, and so did Dicks.
Speaker 1: And then when did you get your thirteen? That was
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later. A couple of weeks later.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. It wasn't at home. Okay, that
Speaker 1: was the postseason, the postseason ever seen. Got two more
Speaker 1: picks in that nineteen and the recovery two just well,
Speaker 1: the fumber recovering. Give me the many the first time
Speaker 1: I've had three turnovers in the game. How many? How
Speaker 1: many playoff games did you have to play that year too?
Speaker 1: Just two? Yeah, the one and then we had the one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's we had the opportunity to play. We wanted three, yeah,
Speaker 1: but we ended up with just two, and you had
Speaker 1: the two in the second play It was in the
Speaker 1: second playoff game, which was Dennis time. I got off
Speaker 1: in the in the Tampa Bay game, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: The Dinnis time, I had to pick six, and he
Speaker 1: took us to the house with with picks in the
Speaker 1: in the game against Doug Williams and Tampa Bay Bucks,
Speaker 1: and then the next game with San Francisco. So the
Speaker 1: Cowboys now have a card to Marcus Lawrence. Six games left,
Speaker 1: yes he does, but those those won't count towards the
Speaker 1: regular season. Why does he think that the Cowboys aren't
Speaker 1: going to get the first round by they? He just
Speaker 1: figured there was four playoff games coming. Let him keep
Speaker 1: thinking that. Yeah, you know he's he's at rest. No, No,
Speaker 1: I got no quarrel with with four playoff games, except
Speaker 1: how about three? Yeah, I would like, let's go with
Speaker 1: three plays, meaning the first round by now Wade Wade
Speaker 1: would Phillips would count that as a w that first
Speaker 1: round by so who may I ask? Who's beating green Bay?
Speaker 1: Minnesota's this Sunday night, right, and then Detroit is on fire? Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, you know what, guys, I want to go
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. I'm sorry, that's just the ball player
Speaker 1: in me, and I know that the older people in
Speaker 1: the organization are still remember that crap. Not just the
Speaker 1: one here in um in Cowboys Stadium. But the catch
Speaker 1: game with this, I want to go back there, don't
Speaker 1: you think, Mike McCarthy I want to go I want
Speaker 1: I know Mike wants to go back there. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think he would take much better pride. And I
Speaker 1: know it would be a tougher route to take, but
Speaker 1: I think he would take much more pride in beating
Speaker 1: them in Green Bay. The just showing up to play
Speaker 1: in the game after they dispatched him. The really old
Speaker 1: people in the organization though, remember another trip to Green
Speaker 1: Bay when it would rather cold? Yeah, that's way whatever.
Speaker 1: I think I might be on the one left. Who's
Speaker 1: who's who's there? Who's who's here? I mean players? Yes,
Speaker 1: but the organization wise, you know, somebody said, do you
Speaker 1: want to play Green Bay? I said, I'll take to
Speaker 1: play the team that played the second half their last
Speaker 1: game that Cleveland through what four interceptions and anim wanting
Speaker 1: by Was it too a highly questionable non pass call? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not questionable at all. That was robbery. Was just homestyle.
Speaker 1: So just grabbed his jersey and yanked them and you
Speaker 1: saw the official did the lambo leap. What dude, what
Speaker 1: he did? There. There was a doctored uh picture that
Speaker 1: made the realms on Twitter of a of an official
Speaker 1: doing the Lambo leap. They have a term out there
Speaker 1: that says the internet is okay, so you know we
Speaker 1: we've got this saying that you know, the officials are blind.
Speaker 1: Now I found out they're deaf too, deaf blind death
Speaker 1: because they announced the guy was eligible eligible receiver and
Speaker 1: he throws his flag for a legal man down field.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Are you paying attention? That's crazy? Man. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it turned out pretty pretty well, and um Diggs was
Speaker 1: rather humble after the game too. Yeah, unlike his predecessor
Speaker 1: with eleven years ago. I was angry. I was angry.
Speaker 1: He's he's he's got it good. And you can tell
Speaker 1: the difference though and how free agents are treated versus high,
Speaker 1: high round draft picks. So did you realize the significance
Speaker 1: of what you were only a rookie? I was just
Speaker 1: trying to survive, right, Yeah, I was just trying to survive. Now.
Speaker 1: I knew the numbers were good because I had just
Speaker 1: gotten eleven, you know, a Grambling my senior year, so
Speaker 1: I know what numbers you had eleven and Grambling too.
Speaker 1: My senior year. Senior year, I had eleven. I led
Speaker 1: the nation, So regular season twenty two picks in two years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't even want to go preseason, preseason, and that's
Speaker 1: just trying me out. Like this guy. Throw him out
Speaker 1: there and think about it. He wouldn't have made the
Speaker 1: team if he didn't get those. Those were the most
Speaker 1: season Those are the most important picks of his career.
Speaker 1: You ain't lying. Didn't have to lick up those preseasons stands.
Speaker 1: But now that was when you know numbers. You know,
Speaker 1: I knew the numbers were good. And then they started
Speaker 1: talking about mel Rentfall. They start talking about mel Rentfall.
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of just throw them aside. Now
Speaker 1: that was you know, that's what I keep giving giving
Speaker 1: them love. That was amazing that, you know, Smell he
Speaker 1: was the dion of DBS at the time he was.
Speaker 1: I talked about his Olympic qualifying long jump record. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he ran. You know, we just got
Speaker 1: spoiled with Melvin Frol. We never thought we never had
Speaker 1: problems in our secondary until he and her Badley and
Speaker 1: and and Cornell Green left And here they come with
Speaker 1: Aeron Mitchell and Aaron Kyle and and and uh Cliff,
Speaker 1: Charlie had just messed his leg up. He wasn't in
Speaker 1: the in the in the secondary. They needed somebody. They
Speaker 1: just went out there with a fishhook and that I
Speaker 1: just started up rounding up defensive backs and they brought
Speaker 1: us in. They had twenty five of us. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew what the journey was. The journey was was crazy.
Speaker 1: It was not just unlikely for me. I'm watching Mike
Speaker 1: Downs and myself when with roommates on the road, and
Speaker 1: we talked about this stuff, and Mike was so humble,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to give Mike more love than he's
Speaker 1: giving them el because I told him just the other night, Mike,
Speaker 1: what we did that ain't normal. Mike came in got
Speaker 1: seven picks. I came in, got eleven. We're both undrafted
Speaker 1: south Old Cliff, you find somebody two other guys that
Speaker 1: came in and did that for an organization that was
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the barrel when it came to
Speaker 1: defensive backs. And I had to tell Mike that the
Speaker 1: other night because everyone glosses over what he did. And
Speaker 1: I let him know, Bro, don't ever let anybody gloss
Speaker 1: over what you and I did. No one has done
Speaker 1: it since I can't remember anyone doing it before. They
Speaker 1: got movies about free agents and all the kind of crap.
Speaker 1: I told him a long time ago, Mike, they need
Speaker 1: to be doing a movie on us. They got the
Speaker 1: don Philadelphia Eagles guy. Remember that. What's that movie about
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver a special teams player? I
Speaker 1: think it was Mark Wahlberg or something player. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a great guy. I'm sure he's a great guy.
Speaker 1: But this story is no more amazing than what Mike
Speaker 1: Downs and myself did, and two Dallas kids too. That
Speaker 1: was kid undrafted, undrafted. I came from Grambling, which I
Speaker 1: thought was was pretty cool. Mike came from Rice. Mike
Speaker 1: Sprangers call him minute Rice, Come on, man, a minute Rice.
Speaker 1: That's what he said. They were. They were good for
Speaker 1: one minute in the game, and that's very accurate. They
Speaker 1: got blown out every game. So for him to come
Speaker 1: from that culture and immediately affect the Cowboys in a
Speaker 1: different way, to me, that just it's over. It's we
Speaker 1: never talked about it because we weren't first rounders, you know,
Speaker 1: we weren't those guys. And I'm sorry, but the even
Speaker 1: before Thrumus Steves. And I know I'm ranting him, even
Speaker 1: before Thermis Steves. I think what we did should have
Speaker 1: been lauded way before this year period. But you have
Speaker 1: those numbers, Jeff Thurman and Steves numbers takeaways from that
Speaker 1: era I did. Um the cow is right. Cowboys right
Speaker 1: now are at thirty three takeaways eighty five including fumbles.
Speaker 1: It includes fumble recoveries. So eighty five they had forty
Speaker 1: eight takeaways, thirty three picks in fifteen fumble recoveries. That again,
Speaker 1: eighty five they had one forty eight takeaways. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I write this down. I don't even know this. Thirty
Speaker 1: three and fifteen thirty three picks in fifteen fumble recovery. Right,
Speaker 1: And but how about this, This is the number that's
Speaker 1: gonna shock you. They had sixty two sacks in eighty five.
Speaker 1: How many we have now, oh it's in the twenties. Problem.
Speaker 1: What is Oh my god? How many did they have?
Speaker 1: Five have the ball? Did our offense even have the ball? Give?
Speaker 1: We gave it to him. But when they do give
Speaker 1: it right back, we know they were amazing offense at
Speaker 1: that time. So sacks where they just give me a
Speaker 1: second here, Oh here, it's down here. So they had
Speaker 1: thirty two going into the game. So the thirty seven right,
Speaker 1: thirty seven sets with two games to go. And so
Speaker 1: but in sixteen games in nineteen eighty five, forty eight takeaways,
Speaker 1: thirty three interceptions, in fifteen fumble recoveries. And right now,
Speaker 1: this team in fifteen games is at thirty three takeaways,
Speaker 1: twenty five interceptions, right, and eight eight fumble recover And
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty one the Magic they had fifty three takeaways,
Speaker 1: thirty seven picks, and sixteen fumble recoveries. You know, fifty three.
Speaker 1: And I went back and looked up the going through
Speaker 1: last week. Now it's still the same this week with
Speaker 1: the thirty three takeaways, I believe that's the most for
Speaker 1: a Cowboys team since nineteen eighty six. And so I
Speaker 1: just let you know how they had or through maybe
Speaker 1: it was thirty one through fourteen games was the most
Speaker 1: they had. There was one day threw out and it
Speaker 1: said the most since eighty seven. I'm gone. Now, that's
Speaker 1: got to have an asterisk in there, because seven didn't carry.
Speaker 1: I didn't count the eighty seven because three of the
Speaker 1: games were not games yeah, I didn't count the eighty seven.
Speaker 1: So then you it begs the question, you know, why
Speaker 1: are we bringing this up now? This should have been
Speaker 1: brought up long ago. Well, that's because it was so
Speaker 1: far out there. They couldn't get twenty takeaways in a season.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at I bet twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: when they had good teams, I bet they didn't have
Speaker 1: double digits interception. Well, here here's my point. Here's my point.
Speaker 1: When you have a group, a defensive group that's doing that,
Speaker 1: it's something that should be talked about, and it's something
Speaker 1: that should be that you should try and copy every year.
Speaker 1: Don't go away from it. Don't act like it didn't happen,
Speaker 1: because you gotta pay people in contract negotiations and remember
Speaker 1: their stats. These are things that need to be remembered
Speaker 1: as an organization. We talk about ray Lewis with Baltimore,
Speaker 1: we talk about the Fearsome foursome with with these guys,
Speaker 1: we got doomsday defense in the seventies. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: you can you tell me you couldn't give these guys love.
Speaker 1: All these these numbers right here that are now coming back,
Speaker 1: Why why are they so amazing? Because no one knew, well,
Speaker 1: no one knew, no one cared. Here's why. From twenty
Speaker 1: fifteen through twenty twenty. So the last previous six years,
Speaker 1: they never had more than ten picks. Ten. Last year,
Speaker 1: the team the team I have tea, I have teased
Speaker 1: for a few years that I got more pick team.
Speaker 1: He's got more picks right now than the entire team
Speaker 1: had not twenty fifteen, eight than nine, than ten, than
Speaker 1: nine than seven ten. I've been I've been to myself.
Speaker 1: I've been saying to myself, I said, do that. They
Speaker 1: can't even cast me in my strike here. Sometimes, I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, it's ridiculous, man, But I just I think
Speaker 1: I did. This is just my time to just say
Speaker 1: where y'all been and giving Dennis Thurman love, you know,
Speaker 1: giving Michael Down's love, Everson Wall's love. So how about
Speaker 1: that the strike here? Yeah too? The team had fifteen
Speaker 1: in nine games. Right, it's crazy, all right, we can't.
Speaker 1: We need to take a break. We could go on
Speaker 1: and on talking about that, but there's much more to
Speaker 1: talk about in a fifty six to fourteen win over Washington.

Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the span of fifteen days outscored the
Speaker 1: Washington football team in the first quarter alone thirty nine
Speaker 1: to nothing. Very good. One eight. They were up eighteen
Speaker 1: to nothing two weeks ago, and twenty one to nothing
Speaker 1: after one quarter this week. What about at halftime it
Speaker 1: was twenty four to nothing in forty two to seven,
Speaker 1: So that's sixty six to seven most points they've scored
Speaker 1: in the first half forty two ever, ever, ever since
Speaker 1: my daddy said, this is what you call a football
Speaker 1: may daddy, And I know that, Jimmy, I remember, yes,
Speaker 1: I can see him now, and I know two of
Speaker 1: the touchdowns came off a defensive return, a special teams return,
Speaker 1: or actually just guess in the recovery because it was
Speaker 1: already in the end zone. But the first team offense
Speaker 1: hardly played the fourth quarter, if at all. Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: came in with Dak was not out there the fourth quarter. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: Dak did not play the fourth quarter because I thought, well,
Speaker 1: he's there's not going to be a fourth quarter turnover.
Speaker 1: This I think he only had eight yards passing in
Speaker 1: the in the fourth quarter. That was it, and Cooper
Speaker 1: and the receivers didn't have any catches in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter because they had everybody else in there, including Melite.
Speaker 1: Turner went on a cross country Yes, so are you
Speaker 1: saying it takes a forty nine point lead before we'll
Speaker 1: run the ball out of gate? No man throwing it
Speaker 1: like that, Just keep throwing, you know. Someone did remark
Speaker 1: I was watching the game CBS eleven a good friend
Speaker 1: who's on the production team there, Nate Tarpley. We were
Speaker 1: watching the game together and when the Cowboys got the
Speaker 1: football back with less than two minutes to go in
Speaker 1: the first half at their own eight yard and an
Speaker 1: eleven yard line whatever it was, he said, so do
Speaker 1: you do you take a knee now? And I said,
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, you go now. If it was
Speaker 1: a normal game, then I would have said, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you know, but it was like this, But yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I thought was they aren't able
Speaker 1: to practice much and they're planning against their basically. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and plus to me, I kind of thought it was
Speaker 1: one of those things for McCarthy, like a little little payback,
Speaker 1: Like everybody, just shut up. I know how to handle
Speaker 1: time management on this team. If I choose to do so,
Speaker 1: and he chose to do so, this time went down
Speaker 1: score the I just think it was it was a
Speaker 1: great back. It was great practice for you know, a
Speaker 1: future situation where you might have to go eighty nine
Speaker 1: yards in the final two minutes of the first half.
Speaker 1: It was a hell of a throw and a half
Speaker 1: of it really was tap dance in the end zone.
Speaker 1: Let's be real that this is the way it looks
Speaker 1: when your offensive line gives you protection, right, That's what
Speaker 1: it looks like. You you control the pace, The tempo
Speaker 1: was all in your favor. Your quarterbacks not back there
Speaker 1: dancing around. And I like the fact that he didn't
Speaker 1: hesitate as much when it came to taking off out
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah in the pocket, you know, that really
Speaker 1: can put a little more pressure on the defense. If
Speaker 1: they know you're not gonna run, then they're gonna stay
Speaker 1: back and play pass and they're gonna be in your
Speaker 1: passing lanes, which they have been. So now you look
Speaker 1: at him, he's taken off just four or five yards,
Speaker 1: and you slide. You know, now you're looking at second
Speaker 1: and six, or you take off the way he did
Speaker 1: on the pass too, was a gallop on the sideline,
Speaker 1: looked like he was gonna run. On the run. He
Speaker 1: throws us dying, and that looked He looked much more
Speaker 1: comfortable in his passing motion, whether it was in the
Speaker 1: pockets surrounded or whether it was outside the pocket. There
Speaker 1: were no errand throws like we were accustomed to his
Speaker 1: last few games. Yeah, yeah, he was. Some of the throws.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that he fit them in there. And
Speaker 1: how about the catcher's CD lamb made by the way
Speaker 1: and the punishment he was taking. I thought he got
Speaker 1: targeted on the sidelines. I don't know. I guess they
Speaker 1: can do that while you're round up bunning the ball outside.
Speaker 1: But I thought that second defender came straight at his
Speaker 1: head and he was pretty much all the way out
Speaker 1: of bound. There were several catches that in this game
Speaker 1: where the receiver took a pretty good yeah, yeah right,
Speaker 1: And I thought that was a good call. I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy tried to go in with his shoulder on shelts,
Speaker 1: but clearly his head made content and so yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a good hit. But you still gotta keep your
Speaker 1: head out of the way. I don't think that was
Speaker 1: controversially at all. Which, by the way, I went through
Speaker 1: great lengths to look this up because the Terrance Still
Speaker 1: touchdown was supposed to be the first by an offensive
Speaker 1: lineman since nineteen sixty eight when Raphael Wright caught a
Speaker 1: pass for a touchdown. So I went back and looked
Speaker 1: it up, and one story I read it was tight
Speaker 1: end right, and then the other story I read it
Speaker 1: was back up offensive tackle. He was playing behind Ralph Neely,
Speaker 1: and he didn't play hardly any games that year at tackle,
Speaker 1: but they would they called him the blocking tight end
Speaker 1: in short yardage situation. And one of the stories had
Speaker 1: you know how they used to do those sequenced pictures
Speaker 1: back in the day in the newspaper like boom, boom boom,
Speaker 1: And there was Raphael Wright wearing number eighty five. Year
Speaker 1: was sixty eight, and that was the year that he
Speaker 1: caught the touchdown right, And it was October thirteenth, nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty eight against the Eagles, put him up fourteen to nothing.
Speaker 1: It was a fifteen yard pass. He caught it at
Speaker 1: the five and he was wide a and they surprised
Speaker 1: him right, and he gets in the end zone and
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, he goes. You know, I came off
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, act like I was gonna blocked.
Speaker 1: And after that nobody got in my way. So the
Speaker 1: key on that he was wearing number eighty five, So
Speaker 1: that means he was a tight end, right because he
Speaker 1: started as a defensive end. Then they moved him to
Speaker 1: tight end and then it was okay, you're going to
Speaker 1: be the blocking tight end. And then I believe it
Speaker 1: was sixty nine when they in training camp when Tom
Speaker 1: called him in and say, hey, we're moving you to tackle.
Speaker 1: Imagine let me come on Hall of Fame career. Yeah,
Speaker 1: starting off as a tight end. Well, yeah, that's tight end.
Speaker 1: And and he could have because he got drafted by
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Royals, played in the NBA. It's amazing, right
Speaker 1: where always could have find talent, multitalented athletes and so
Speaker 1: and when he uh so that was nineteen You think
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty nine is when he was playing tackle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe so, and I think it was it may
Speaker 1: have been the preseason game that was that when when
Speaker 1: Deacon Jones, boy, do you mama know where? It's the
Speaker 1: greatest story ever because he he mimics his void Deacon
Speaker 1: Jones's deep voice so well was talking. Told he came
Speaker 1: in with his head slap right, yea, and basically knocked
Speaker 1: him silly right, and and Rayfield said, I forgot what
Speaker 1: I was supposed to do. Right. And so during the season,
Speaker 1: after he got used to play and tackle, Uh, he
Speaker 1: went out there and they had to play the Rams again.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a playoff game where
Speaker 1: it was a regular season game. And uh, he lined
Speaker 1: up and and and blocked Deacon and he said, my
Speaker 1: mama knows where he got it behind. They did. They
Speaker 1: did play each other later in the season in season

Speaker 1: the way, the Cowboy fans must have been starved for
Speaker 1: a home game, because that place was rocking. And you
Speaker 1: know what I figured, third quarter people get up and leave.
Speaker 1: They were still waving towels into the fourth quarter before
Speaker 1: I saw some empty seats, and even the players and
Speaker 1: the and Mike McCarthy. Notice he said the environment was
Speaker 1: like we were in a playoff and you know what
Speaker 1: you sort of are when you're trying to get that
Speaker 1: number one seed. And so yeah, place was absolutely rocking
Speaker 1: all night long. And it was some pretty good entertainment too.
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, I thought the first drive,
Speaker 1: well kind of everyone was there, kind of kind of
Speaker 1: quiet though after the kickoff, you know, we're wondering, Okay,
Speaker 1: how's this off? This gonna come out, how are they
Speaker 1: gonna look? So it was very tentative and then it
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, and then there's idiots through the interception.
Speaker 1: You know, it's your fault man. And by the way,
Speaker 1: speaking of the cornerbacks, I think Cowboys need to give
Speaker 1: a shout out to Anthony Brown, who, without Jordan Lewis there,
Speaker 1: moves into the slot. Now there's sometimes the way team's
Speaker 1: line up, he's kind of in the slot with a
Speaker 1: bunch receiver set, but he played the slot and that
Speaker 1: is the best I've seen Kelvin Joseph play cornerback since
Speaker 1: he got here. And I'm talking and don't care if
Speaker 1: it was Mini camp ot A's preseason. He always had
Speaker 1: a way to make a made plays on the ball,
Speaker 1: and I thought, Okay, that's encouraging going forward that they
Speaker 1: can have another corner like that. And you know, and
Speaker 1: I know Washington didn't have all their guys, didn't have
Speaker 1: all their coaches. I think they had five assistants missing,
Speaker 1: like five or six starters missing. But don't disminish what
Speaker 1: they accomplished, because they did what they should have done
Speaker 1: against a team that was crippled. They just pounded them.
Speaker 1: It wasn't twenty one to ten or anything like that.
Speaker 1: It was fifty six to fourteen. So I've already heard people, Wow,
Speaker 1: they can't beat a team that has good players, and
Speaker 1: datta this and datta that. And I'll guarantee you when
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke went in the locker room after that game,
Speaker 1: I bet he wishes he was still they again. I
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna hurt him again to his bag, right,
Speaker 1: This guy does not want to see it, and he
Speaker 1: did not want to see DeMarcus Lawrence on that sideline.
Speaker 1: Did that rather be Teddy Bridgewater and just not do nothing?
Speaker 1: I mean he slid in there. And oh, Donovan Wilson,
Speaker 1: this guy was hungry yesterday. Yes, let's just let's just
Speaker 1: be real, give him a little bit of credit. Great
Speaker 1: plays happened because of some other things that the player
Speaker 1: that made the play didn't have to do right. And
Speaker 1: when he escorted him down that sideline, I think just
Speaker 1: that one little brush against the offensive lineman that was
Speaker 1: tracking him down that allowed DeMarcus to go in without
Speaker 1: getting pushed out of the bounds because he came in
Speaker 1: and he kind of you know, broke through all the
Speaker 1: all the traffic and he put a small block on
Speaker 1: I forget the line. He got a block and Randy
Speaker 1: Grebbergery I think got the last one too that he
Speaker 1: had an escort into the end zone he did. The
Speaker 1: play took ten seconds and I was looking at that
Speaker 1: and I'm going, well, no, maybe we have to have
Speaker 1: number ninety is now eligible because he ran pretty well.
Speaker 1: Did he think that was? That was? I'm sorry that was.
Speaker 1: And I love this. When they talk about our team speed,
Speaker 1: they remind me of the Lakers when they get a
Speaker 1: fast break. Remember when Magic used to get the ball
Speaker 1: and when Yeah, when these guys when they see it,
Speaker 1: you've done something. I mean, it's like, let's go. It's
Speaker 1: a fast break, and you know, let me basketball we
Speaker 1: used to love to get it. Well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: and how was the part side? You know, when when
Speaker 1: you get the ball, it's like, well, let's go, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, We're gone and you can see
Speaker 1: Craggy taking off. You can see Wilson was hauling trying
Speaker 1: to get inside, and of course the markets with the ball.
Speaker 1: You see the reaction of everyone on the team. It's
Speaker 1: all at once. They anticipate plays being made and they're
Speaker 1: ready to go to the house. Sort of like the
Speaker 1: block part too. You know, Gholston after Corey Clement and
Speaker 1: they didn't have a block on uh No, they said
Speaker 1: they had the return on Wow because the one guy
Speaker 1: Wow thought because where they were punting that Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: was going to get the ball and he was just
Speaker 1: the lone guy going and he gets the perfect block
Speaker 1: with one hand and then Gholston picks it. That was good.
Speaker 1: Season was a bounce, picks it up and yeah, the
Speaker 1: first time ever offensive touchdown, defensive touchdown and all spical
Speaker 1: team town. Yeah. Man, you know, it's it's really something
Speaker 1: when you see it's like this team has fresh legs
Speaker 1: and they have so many players that have come back
Speaker 1: here this month with fresh legs. And it's really a
Speaker 1: testament to way this roster was put together from the
Speaker 1: outset where you're in anticipation that you're going to play
Speaker 1: more players this year. And I mean, we didn't know
Speaker 1: going into the season that we'd have another COVID break
Speaker 1: like we've had here this month, but you had to
Speaker 1: be prepared for that and also also for a seventeen
Speaker 1: game season. One more game. It's such a long season
Speaker 1: that even if even if you weren't in a pandemic,
Speaker 1: you know, you have to build your roster with the
Speaker 1: idea that you've got to be including a practice squad
Speaker 1: three or four deep at different positions. And and especially
Speaker 1: when I'm talking about the defense, is having players who
Speaker 1: are versatile enough to play different positions. And we learned
Speaker 1: so much from last year. That's what That's one thing
Speaker 1: you can give him a quoth the credit for just
Speaker 1: the entire organization. We learned that you know, all the
Speaker 1: tragedies that we had, the missed players, and you know,
Speaker 1: not even how they feel a roster backups here and there,
Speaker 1: we were like, no, this is not gonna happen again.
Speaker 1: So check this out. Parsons out of Um defensive plays.
Speaker 1: There was like sixty some defensive plays. He only had
Speaker 1: to play thirty three. DeMarcus Lawrence only had to play
Speaker 1: twenty five plays, Gallimore twenty four, and Gregory twenty six.
Speaker 1: So these guys basically played a half a game. Jay, Well,
Speaker 1: how did the curse Um ended up with eighty percent?
Speaker 1: Forty eight plays, Anthony Brown forty eight, Kazy fifty and
Speaker 1: Wilson Kelvin Joseph with tops with fifty seven snacks? All right,
Speaker 1: he did pretty well again, fresh legs, Yeah, he did
Speaker 1: pretty well yesterday. Yeah. And it's not just the fresh legs,
Speaker 1: it's the hunger that goes with it, because they've been
Speaker 1: sitting there waiting. But you know that's sitting they're tapping
Speaker 1: their feet like man, I gotta go, and wady to go,
Speaker 1: Wady to go, you know, And that's what you like.
Speaker 1: You They are not just fresh, they're hungry and now
Speaker 1: sitting here with a game against Arizona and then Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and I still say I wouldn't be surprised at the
Speaker 1: Packers stubb their toe in the Minnesota. Minnesota's coming to
Speaker 1: town right, Yes, there they would sweep the Packers. But
Speaker 1: what you'd be looking at and it's too difficult to
Speaker 1: figure it all out. But I think if you beat there,
Speaker 1: if you went out and you get the two seed, Okay,
Speaker 1: you need some you need the Rams to to keep winning.
Speaker 1: The stay there tied with Dallas and Tampa Bay. That
Speaker 1: gives you the two seed over over Tampa Bay. Head
Speaker 1: to head with Tampa Bay, and then you'd be turning
Speaker 1: around two weeks after beating Arizona and playing Arizona again,
Speaker 1: right or Arizona takes over and the Rams end up
Speaker 1: the special. You know, either way, they've got the NFC
Speaker 1: record if they went out because they're nine and one
Speaker 1: right now. The Cowboys the Cowboys, and they're only so
Speaker 1: they're they're the only The only way is if they're
Speaker 1: in a two way tie Tampa Bay that they would
Speaker 1: drop to if they end up tying the Packers and
Speaker 1: they went out to tie them. Uh, they have a
Speaker 1: one game lead in the NFC record on the pack
Speaker 1: Rice exactly. So I want to go to Green Bay.
Speaker 1: I want to go to Wisconsin. Man, I might go,
Speaker 1: so now that's a laugh, we'll all go. I'm not
Speaker 1: not going in January. I see you guys in the summer.
Speaker 1: I heard it's really nice there. Actually the winner in
Speaker 1: uh In Appleton's pretty nice. That's what I get a summer.
Speaker 1: Did you ever play I played once in Green Bay
Speaker 1: in green Bay now now it was Waukee a couple
Speaker 1: of years, okay, eighty nine I think for sure, because
Speaker 1: whenn't that the year they played the Packers twice. It
Speaker 1: was a weird scheduling teams, the teams with the worst record.
Speaker 1: We we played in I think we played there in
Speaker 1: eighty nine nine, yeah, and it was however, all right,
Speaker 1: we're getting out of here a couple of minut it's early, okay,
Speaker 1: because we got a special treat business special treat, and
Speaker 1: we're not gonna give it away right now that hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll come off here and we'll be able to replay
Speaker 1: it here on mix shots. Cool sounds good, okay, and
Speaker 1: you'll be able to see it on the CBS eleven tonight. Gokawboys.
