Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This is Mick Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 2: And the official Dallas Cowboys at.
Speaker 3: Now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 4: And how about a little Friday.
Speaker 5: Dallas how Boys.
Speaker 2: Works. If you don't like this horse the moors make
Speaker 2: it all? Okay, the norms, different, fads bad.
Speaker 5: Do you know what I'm gonna start doing?
Speaker 2: But is that the first line? That's the first lie?
Speaker 5: Like last night, I was at home.
Speaker 4: I actually watched the game from home last night and
Speaker 4: early yes, and uh, we actually had a birthday party
Speaker 4: from my grandson at the same time I was watching
Speaker 4: the game, and I what I need to do in
Speaker 4: that situation. And I recommend this to Cowboys fans everywhere.
Speaker 4: If you've got speakers on your back porch like I do,
Speaker 4: play that fight song every time the Cowboys are about
Speaker 4: to talk, blare it through the Okay, you can play
Speaker 4: it after a win too, and you're well, you're talking
Speaker 4: about waking up the neighborhood, but before the game too.
Speaker 5: You got to play it.
Speaker 4: Right, Let's have it blaring throughout neighborhoods across the world.
Speaker 3: In fact, Jimmy when he lived in Valley ram uh huh,
Speaker 3: he would play the Aggie, play the Aggie wore him
Speaker 3: at times.
Speaker 4: Jimmy Johnson, Jimmy Johnson had no connection with Texas, and
Speaker 4: I don't know that he loves.
Speaker 2: Him.
Speaker 4: And so after a game he would come home and
Speaker 4: he would blare the Aggie Wore Him on his stereo.
Speaker 6: I thought Arkansas had some song that he was going
Speaker 6: to play. That's what you were talking about. It's strange,
Speaker 6: but here we are.
Speaker 4: It's a Victory Friday in the s w BC podcast
Speaker 4: studio and this is Mixed Shots brought to you by
Speaker 4: Miller Lite and Mickey Well. First off, welcome back, Everson.
Speaker 4: We missed you earlier in the week.
Speaker 2: I have been such a busy man.
Speaker 5: It's a good thing.
Speaker 2: Well, that's good.
Speaker 6: We had the Kidney Texas Award and they have named
Speaker 6: a legacy award after me, Everson Walls Legacy.
Speaker 2: Award and fitting Ley and doctor Quigley.
Speaker 6: He's the president of Camp Rina here in Texas and
Speaker 6: he does a good job with the kids. He was
Speaker 6: the one that received it this year and he's one
Speaker 6: of those guys that's really good, of course at being
Speaker 6: a nefrologist number one, but number two he juggles and
Speaker 6: he plays the violin. Oh wow, So the kids love him.
Speaker 6: He like a little pipe piper or something.
Speaker 2: The kids loving. The kids love him.
Speaker 6: He was warming up back on stage, and you know,
Speaker 6: I've never seen the violin before.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm closed.
Speaker 6: I just never have. I mean, you know, I never
Speaker 6: had music. You know, I can't even dance. And so
Speaker 6: he just asked him a few questions about it. You know,
Speaker 6: I thought was it a strata various. He's like, no, no,
Speaker 6: it's not one of those. But he did say that
Speaker 6: it cost him about five hundred dollars. Man, oh's a
Speaker 6: freaking violin. Well, it's like this pig.
Speaker 4: If if the Cowboys had one last night, we'd been
Speaker 4: playing violent today. That's right, makey, what time you and
Speaker 4: the team get in your Cowboy blue one?
Speaker 5: Is that your undershirt you wore at the game night?
Speaker 3: I would have wish I had brought it with me
Speaker 3: and didn't sit three hours in the plane with a
Speaker 3: tie on and the fresh shirt. Yeah, one time y'all
Speaker 3: get in, uh four fifteen.
Speaker 4: Coach has already done his Coaches show. I did it
Speaker 4: eleven o'clock this morning, about an hour ago. Well, I
Speaker 4: could have done it because he was wiping the sleep
Speaker 4: out of his eyes.
Speaker 5: I got no sleep out of his eyes.
Speaker 2: I got up at about four fifteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could have given You could have met Mickey
Speaker 4: at the airport and give me.
Speaker 2: One stop and came right back.
Speaker 7: I got it. I got to sleep, so that.
Speaker 2: Was that was right. I've done it several times.
Speaker 5: Sleep fifteen, you guys, and then he get it sixes.
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, probably another after a while.
Speaker 6: I got Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Got to sleep at five and up at at eight
Speaker 3: three hours.
Speaker 7: What more do you need?
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go five o'clock, five o'clock. Got to sleep. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it was a quick game.
Speaker 2: You look good for somebody was getting.
Speaker 3: Three hours sleep and I can't sleep on the plane,
Speaker 3: so I worked basically the whole way.
Speaker 7: But yeah, it was uh.
Speaker 3: I think the plane landed about four fifteen, and by
Speaker 3: time we got our luggage from underneath, drove home. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there you go, and here we are.
Speaker 5: Man. I figured you'd have your referee hat on today.
Speaker 6: I needed to just just bring one end and you
Speaker 6: could chop it in half or something with.
Speaker 3: I thought those guys were getting paid by the flag.
Speaker 2: It was a lot. It was a lot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought I thought Tyler Goiden was was kind
Speaker 6: of being picked on a little bit.
Speaker 2: Oh God, they were going at it on that end.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: You know what they need to teach him to do
Speaker 4: is not put his hands up in like a surrender position,
Speaker 4: because I think it tells the official that he thinks
Speaker 4: he thinks he just held. So I'll just go ahead.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the other thing they need to teach him,
Speaker 3: and they finally taught Tyler Smith is once you make
Speaker 3: your block, you're good. You don't have to pancake the
Speaker 3: guy over to the crown and he got He basically
Speaker 3: not tackled him. He pushed him and landed on top
Speaker 3: of him from behind.
Speaker 5: You wanted to finish him off.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was one time. I think that was late
Speaker 6: in the game. I guess it was fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 6: The defensive lineman tripped over the guard, tripped over the
Speaker 6: Cowboys guard. He tripped over the back of his foot.
Speaker 6: They called that a takedown, right, but he had he
Speaker 6: made an inside move. The defensive end made an inside
Speaker 6: move on guidance fell on his own and he fell
Speaker 6: he tripped over the guard's foot because as he was
Speaker 6: taking him down inside, the guard was being taken back
Speaker 6: and that's who the defensive end tripped over and it
Speaker 6: looked like another takedown, but he tripped over.
Speaker 2: The back of the guard's foot.
Speaker 3: And I got a problem with this one too. So
Speaker 3: the the free play when I think it was Thibodeau
Speaker 3: jumps off.
Speaker 4: Side and off sides and then they called for holding,
Speaker 4: but he held him because the guy had two step
Speaker 4: heads start.
Speaker 7: That doesn't make sense. Let that go here now.
Speaker 6: But if I'm the referee, man is the one that
Speaker 6: that jumped, so he should have known not to touch him.
Speaker 5: That's in fact I was going to ask coach about
Speaker 5: that this morning.
Speaker 7: Rookie, Yeah, he knew.
Speaker 6: He was just reacting to the fact that, hey, he's
Speaker 6: getting close to my quarterback.
Speaker 4: I was what I was going to ask McCarthy about that,
Speaker 4: and then ran out of time this morning about with
Speaker 4: a young player, how do you coach them on that
Speaker 4: if you're if and you have to have an awareness
Speaker 4: that the flag was thrown on the guy and he.
Speaker 2: Had to see it because it's right there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I can't cut. You also have to you
Speaker 5: don't want your quarterback killed too.
Speaker 6: You can't go, hey, we're about to get a free play.
Speaker 7: And that cost him an interception?
Speaker 2: It did, so yeah, I mean it was. It was.
Speaker 3: I just think you've got to process that. That guy
Speaker 3: got a head start and he grabbed him because he
Speaker 3: got a head start.
Speaker 5: And he was, well in what are you talking about?
Speaker 2: One second?
Speaker 5: What are you talking about?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it cost him.
Speaker 4: It was they had a completion completion twenty nine yard line.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it cost him at least three points.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I meant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, I was sitting there, what are you talking about?
Speaker 5: I remember interception?
Speaker 3: Well they hadn't they had it.
Speaker 5: Was a completion to Tolbert down to the twenty one
Speaker 5: lost twenty nine yard line.
Speaker 7: When they had the interception.
Speaker 4: It took away a twenty six yard completion. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: on what would have been a free play. All right,
Speaker 4: So what's your main takeaway from a win on the
Speaker 4: road against the division rival.
Speaker 3: Against against the team everybody was promoting as the next
Speaker 3: best things and slice.
Speaker 6: And now all of a sudden, now it's like, wow,
Speaker 6: what happened to narrative? Yeah, that's so crazy. Everybody so bad.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, I thought, Oh wow.
Speaker 4: I was telling everybody watch out for these giants. Now
Speaker 4: have this Elik Neighbors who is a CD LIMB type player,
Speaker 4: and so they finally have an elite wide receiver. So
Speaker 4: there's a real threat there. And if you look at
Speaker 4: their roster and size it up against the Cowboys roster,
Speaker 4: there's not a whole lot of difference there in certain positions.
Speaker 5: Uh and and.
Speaker 4: So my takeaway from the game was thank god they
Speaker 4: came away with a win there.
Speaker 2: No, it was not just that.
Speaker 6: I like the way we came away with it, because
Speaker 6: we would deliberately sacrificing one facet of the game for
Speaker 6: the other, I thought. And it just reminded me of
Speaker 6: playing with Tom Landry with.
Speaker 2: The flex defense. You guys in the back, you're on
Speaker 2: your own.
Speaker 6: You better handle it back there, because we're gonna have
Speaker 6: We're gonna commit to the run, right, That's what Tom
Speaker 6: Lander always did with the flex That's why we always
Speaker 6: had We gave up a lot of passing yards because
Speaker 6: they were the goal of the entire defense is to
Speaker 6: just stop the run first before.
Speaker 2: We do anything else.
Speaker 6: And of course that's what the Cowboys did last night,
Speaker 6: and that's why Daniel Jones was able to have such
Speaker 6: a good game, especially through the first three quarters of
Speaker 6: the game.
Speaker 3: And the way I looked at it that regardless of
Speaker 3: style points and Dak basically said it afterwards, these are
Speaker 3: my words.
Speaker 7: But a win is a win, is a win on
Speaker 7: the road, and what you just.
Speaker 3: Went through for two weeks, Yes, that you were able
Speaker 3: to walk out of there with a win. And as
Speaker 3: Dak said, uh when he was asked about the win,
Speaker 3: and he said, huge, huge, It's huge, especially if you
Speaker 3: consider the alternatives.
Speaker 7: And that it's only two and nothing but facts, it's
Speaker 7: only two and two, but it sure speeds the hell out.
Speaker 6: Of one and three and losing against the divisional opponent. Right, Yes,
Speaker 6: so you went in there, you took care of business.
Speaker 6: You know, there was something you did exactly the way
Speaker 6: you want to do it. You wanted to stop the run.
Speaker 6: You stopped the run. I don't care what they say
Speaker 6: about the lineman or what's going on with their running game.
Speaker 6: Before this game, they were talking about how that that
Speaker 6: running game had possibilities with singletary, Right, That's all I
Speaker 6: kept hearing.
Speaker 7: And he kept hearing how good he was through his career.
Speaker 6: How good and how good their their defensive line is,
Speaker 6: how good their front four is.
Speaker 7: Dexter Lawrence.
Speaker 2: That's all I kept here.
Speaker 3: Did you ever hear Dexter Lawrence's name?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I heard of it before the game.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And the way we went the ball, you know, we
Speaker 6: did pretty well as well. We moved the ball when
Speaker 6: we needed to. Uh, it's just the penalties. We've got
Speaker 6: to stop with the penalties. And I know it wasn't
Speaker 6: all guiding.
Speaker 3: And you know what, it wasn't one point one yards
Speaker 3: per rush. There's one point zero eight yards per rush
Speaker 3: that got rounded off.
Speaker 5: Zero is pretty at the TV monitor on ESPN.
Speaker 2: Get it right, and get it right right.
Speaker 4: He's pretty at the TV monitor on ESPN, as if
Speaker 4: everybody listening is looking at.
Speaker 5: The same thing we are.
Speaker 3: No, because I'm showing because it says in here one
Speaker 3: point one, but in the Cowboys notes they put one
Speaker 3: point zero eight.
Speaker 6: I really don't when I say I don't care, I
Speaker 6: do listen to the narratives after the game, cowboy fan
Speaker 6: and all of that, But I was very surprised and
Speaker 6: it seemed as if you can't win as a Cowboy fan,
Speaker 6: you can't win as a player because everything is so
Speaker 6: pessimistic about anything that we do. When Washington beat the Giants,
Speaker 6: I didn't hear anybody else saying anything bad about it.
Speaker 5: Look, but they're showing on ESPN right now.
Speaker 4: They took it off now, but they're shown on ESPN
Speaker 4: the Cowboys' next six opponents, Yes, okay, and their chances
Speaker 4: of winning and the percentage.
Speaker 6: Victim of prediction of gloom and doom, and they can't five.
Speaker 4: They're gonna take out five future the next five opponents,
Speaker 4: the Cowboys have a less than fifty percent chance of
Speaker 4: winning those games according to the graphic they just.
Speaker 5: Showed on ESPN.
Speaker 4: Okay, so if the Cowboys do happen to win one
Speaker 4: of those five games, there will be the same narrative
Speaker 4: that is this morning.
Speaker 5: About this team. Oh well, of course they're gonna win that.
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't matter with the playoffs, by the way,
Speaker 3: you got to get to the playoffs.
Speaker 2: No, they're saying we won't make the playoffs.
Speaker 4: I want to take a snapshot of that graphic, and okay,
Speaker 4: you've predicted basically that the Cowboys are going to lose
Speaker 4: the next five games, and the other thing.
Speaker 3: Let's consider this, they were without by the end of
Speaker 3: the game, their top three defensive ends. Right, if we
Speaker 3: count Sam Williams, he's gone, Lawrence is gone.
Speaker 7: Mike is out.
Speaker 3: They're out there playing some guys you probably hadn't heard of.
Speaker 6: I told my son, we got practice team players out there.
Speaker 2: I said, we were talking about this guy the podcast,
Speaker 2: and he's in the game.
Speaker 5: Ushers have cornerbacks.
Speaker 4: And then, I mean, Everince got a call in the
Speaker 4: fourth corner the game.
Speaker 3: And you should have because when we found out that,
Speaker 3: you know, Carson was doubtful going in and.
Speaker 6: He was going to be I did not know that
Speaker 6: was the day before the.
Speaker 5: Doubtful, which.
Speaker 3: So this means you don't have Bland. Now you don't
Speaker 3: have Carson, who are you going to play?
Speaker 2: You're out there with Booth.
Speaker 3: So so Booth is out there and I'm going, uh,
Speaker 3: Diggs has got to foul foul neighbors, right, and then
Speaker 3: what happens first play or whatever whatever play? He falls
Speaker 3: down and guys, it looked it looked like the Green
Speaker 3: Bay game, back to the to the end zone catching
Speaker 3: the ball white though, but you know what I felt
Speaker 3: that moved that guy.
Speaker 7: I mean, we saw it in pre season.
Speaker 3: He got burned on deep passes and it's like, what
Speaker 3: are they doing? And then they you know, they made
Speaker 3: the change at halftime and.
Speaker 5: You say it, I'm going to say it. Say it,
Speaker 5: oh Rue?
Speaker 7: How about that was good?
Speaker 3: I screwed it up on practiced in my sleep.
Speaker 2: Lest guy.
Speaker 3: He got, he got told like I think he said
Speaker 3: it was Tuesday or Wednesday, be ready, and it's like, well,
Speaker 3: when did you find out you're gonna get elevated?
Speaker 7: Probably gonna play? He goes, Thursday morning.
Speaker 2: This number twenty seven.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 3: He had he'd been on the practice squad since September
Speaker 3: or August twenty ninth.
Speaker 4: By the way, that's his name from now on, number
Speaker 4: twenty seven, number.
Speaker 3: Twenty In my notes, I just wrote down twenty seven
Speaker 3: every time he did.
Speaker 2: So, hey, you got a pick, man, And then he says.
Speaker 3: And he got a pick and a very confident guy
Speaker 3: because he's going, you know, when the ball, nice pick,
Speaker 3: When the ball is in the air, one hundred percent,
Speaker 3: it's mine, you know.
Speaker 2: To tell the way he went up for that one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was a nice. That was a nice.
Speaker 3: So he comes in the second half and you know,
Speaker 3: ends up with two passes and then Diggs goes out,
Speaker 3: and then Diggs goes out. They had they had Makuamu
Speaker 3: at one spot and oh u are Ea at the
Speaker 3: other one, and I'm going, Holy Moley, how are you
Speaker 3: going to exist here?
Speaker 2: I mean? Is that what they call a battle of attrition?
Speaker 6: Well, it sure is, because we had so many people
Speaker 6: go down just when we needed the most, and you
Speaker 6: had young men stepping up and just doing their job.
Speaker 2: They'd nothing great about it. They just did their job.
Speaker 6: Of course, we had too many passing yards for Daniel Jones,
Speaker 6: but that's something that I'll give up as long as
Speaker 6: they're not turning in two points.
Speaker 3: And they stopped them for field goals and give up
Speaker 3: a touchdown right.
Speaker 5: By the way for a money o ru Warria. You
Speaker 5: know how many interceptions he has in his career.
Speaker 7: I think it's like six or eight. Try ten, Okay,
Speaker 7: it would like, Oh no, he's not.
Speaker 5: He's twenty eight years old.
Speaker 4: He was a fifth round draft pick of the Lions
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen. Cowboys signed him after the final training
Speaker 4: camp cuts to the practice squad.
Speaker 3: Didn't he have a single season with like five or
Speaker 3: six picks?
Speaker 4: He had six interceptions with the Lions in fourteen starts
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one. Wow, so so.
Speaker 5: He's been out there before what he was doing, that's right.
Speaker 4: He's fifth round draft pick out of Penn State, so
Speaker 4: he played with well, he would have been a little
Speaker 4: older than Parsons, but when it was twenty nineteen, Parsons
Speaker 4: two years later, yea.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, gosh, it's like you anybody else
Speaker 3: you can throw out there. Ye got practice squad guys.
Speaker 6: And then the fourth quarter they did their job. I
Speaker 6: guess maybe the fresh legs you never know, you know what.
Speaker 3: And I think the other thing we got to consider
Speaker 3: is the amount of young players they've been. Well, maybe
Speaker 3: it's starting to pay off, like okay, getting a little experience.
Speaker 5: Coming of age a little bit.
Speaker 4: And by the way, when we come back here on
Speaker 4: mix shots, in a moment, there is a former Cowboys
Speaker 4: first round draft pick who played his best game as
Speaker 4: a Cowboy last night. Who was that come back in
Speaker 4: just a moment.

Speaker 5: Harvey Martin School.
Speaker 6: I was recruited there by the way, Yeah, I told
Speaker 6: you that story. We never even went to see the guy.
Speaker 6: We just I knew I wasn't going there.
Speaker 2: Not going that was just an extension of Burgner. That
Speaker 2: was not what I was rather stay at home exactly.
Speaker 4: What's what's the nearest community college to Hamilton Park.
Speaker 2: Richly, Okay, you were you were going to My sisters.
Speaker 5: Went to rich How did it get rich about that way?
Speaker 6: You know, take take baby steps?
Speaker 5: All right, Mickey, what was your question?
Speaker 4: My question or by teas before the break was there
Speaker 4: was a former Cowboys first round draft pick who had
Speaker 4: his best game in the NFL last night, and I
Speaker 4: think we're all are in agreement. Number fifty eight Mozzi Smith.
Speaker 4: Give him props.
Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3: Not only did he do a much better job of
Speaker 3: holding down the line of scrimmage, he ended up with
Speaker 3: three tackles. That's two games in a row with three tackles.
Speaker 3: I think one of them was for a loss.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it was noticeable. It was noticeable what he
Speaker 7: was doing, and I think it.
Speaker 3: Was it was Micah brought it up afterwards about Mozzi.
Speaker 3: He kept talking about Mozzi and saying, when Mozzi does
Speaker 3: what he does, that helps all the rest of us
Speaker 3: do what we can do. Uh.
Speaker 7: And you're you're exactly right.
Speaker 3: The other thing, if you think about we talked about
Speaker 3: all the guys that went down the backups had to
Speaker 3: come in, uh, and Jerry was talking about how uh
Speaker 3: that there these guys are improving they're getting reps. He said,
Speaker 3: Now that's hard to do when you have a couple
Speaker 3: outings like we had against the Saints, or if you're
Speaker 3: really or if you really had against Baltimore. But we're
Speaker 3: putting things in the storehouse as the squirrels for the
Speaker 3: nuts in the storehouse that are going to pay dividends
Speaker 3: for us in the winter.
Speaker 7: Holy Jerry. But he's right right.
Speaker 3: It's like if you keep getting better and you keep
Speaker 3: you know, storing nuts, and then in the winter, you're
Speaker 3: not going to starve.
Speaker 2: And I enjoyed the game.
Speaker 6: It's what we always talked about, how defensive recognition makes
Speaker 6: a difference in every game. I mean, these guys were
Speaker 6: not lost at any time. They knew where they were,
Speaker 6: they knew where their help was at all times. That's
Speaker 6: why it minimized the big plays. I mean, you had
Speaker 6: the cornerback out there. It was a hell of a
Speaker 6: route that neighbors put on them. That's something that you
Speaker 6: know a rookie's going to have to go through. As
Speaker 6: far as outside of the game plan, you know your
Speaker 6: rookies got to play one on one. You can't give
Speaker 6: up the big plays. But when it all is said
Speaker 6: and done, Besides that play, you saw what the entire
Speaker 6: purpose of the defense was. You wanted guys like Mosie
Speaker 6: Smith to stop the run up the middle. Wasn't much
Speaker 6: about pass rush, didn't care about pass rush. Everything was
Speaker 6: about stopping the run in this game, controlling the line
Speaker 6: of scrimmage from outside in. That's how we were able
Speaker 6: to control the clock. That's how we're able to keep
Speaker 6: these guys out of the end zone. They were not
Speaker 6: able to get that big first down run, so now
Speaker 6: they were always stuck with second and long, either through
Speaker 6: a penalty or just playing really good defense. So when
Speaker 6: you start talking about how well the defense plays, it
Speaker 6: controlled the entire pace of the game for us. Yes,
Speaker 6: Jones was throwing some good passes out there, some nice
Speaker 6: big plays, but you know you're talking about for the
Speaker 6: most part, ten yard passes, fifteen yard passes, but you're
Speaker 6: keeping them out of the enzone.
Speaker 3: I thought the linebackers, the young linebackers, and I know
Speaker 3: everybody saw what overshown did, but Leah File, I didn't
Speaker 3: see him taking false steps.
Speaker 2: In this game like I did the one no one
Speaker 2: did and did.
Speaker 3: How about the safeties, we actually knew that they came.
Speaker 7: They came up.
Speaker 6: They came up every time, minimizing big plays. And that's
Speaker 6: what I've been fussing about for the past two weeks.
Speaker 6: Just show some type of awareness to where we can
Speaker 6: keep things under control. I know we're not going to
Speaker 6: be the greatest defense, but at least we minimize the
Speaker 6: mistakes that we make.
Speaker 3: And even Hooker he almost had the pick, which yeah,
Speaker 3: he has a good vertical.
Speaker 7: It's a it's a funny story.
Speaker 3: So we were they're they're taking all the bus, all
Speaker 3: the players on the early bus. There's no more two
Speaker 3: bus later buses come, you know, two different Now why they're.
Speaker 4: Right now on the road, that's right, and uh, change
Speaker 4: what they're doing on the road.
Speaker 3: And so I was sitting way to do that at home.
Speaker 7: Now I'm sitting I'm.
Speaker 3: Sitting way in the back of the bus by myself.
Speaker 7: Uh in a in a you know, there's two seats.
Speaker 3: And Hooker came and he looked around and I had
Speaker 3: moved by the windows.
Speaker 7: So he sat down next to me.
Speaker 3: And they're supposed to have a road to themselves, right,
Speaker 3: So we're getting ready to take off, and I tapped
Speaker 3: him on the shoulder. I said, hey, there's an empty
Speaker 3: seat over there. I'll sit there, you can sit here.
Speaker 7: He goes, oh, thanks, man.
Speaker 3: And I was going to say, well, just get me
Speaker 3: an interception, and I didn't do it right. He almost
Speaker 3: had the interception. Uh, but he had a He had
Speaker 3: a good game. Donovan Wilson finally played. Donovan Wilson came
Speaker 3: up and smacking people.
Speaker 6: The recognition was there from the secondary. That's what you want.
Speaker 6: The secondary is there your last line of defense. You
Speaker 6: saw safeties coming up, supporting cornerbacks, supporting the linebackers when
Speaker 6: the backs were coming out of the backfield.
Speaker 2: No false steps like you talked about.
Speaker 6: Every time I looked up, I saw a safety that
Speaker 6: was not just one safety had more than one player
Speaker 6: around the ball. You had more than one player around
Speaker 6: the ball when the tackle was made. If you would
Speaker 6: have missed the tackle, I got you, you got me.
Speaker 6: That's that's what I was accustomed to seeing from every
Speaker 6: other team these first three games, except for us.
Speaker 2: This game was a difference.
Speaker 7: And even.
Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis the tackles, hoping field tackles.
Speaker 6: That he made when they got round the out rock down, Yes,
Speaker 6: he I mean they closed on everything. They closed There
Speaker 6: were tight windows for their or the back to have
Speaker 6: to fit some into which he did.
Speaker 2: A good job of. But we minimized the damage by
Speaker 2: not missing tackles.
Speaker 4: And the biggest one you got to make tackles on
Speaker 4: Malik Neighbors and overshown at a big one on a
Speaker 4: third down play where he made the song like wow,
Speaker 4: there you go. And it's one thing getting there, it's
Speaker 4: another thing being able to make thee.
Speaker 6: As them young boys say they brought their hat with them.
Speaker 6: They brought their hat with them. They were coming up,
Speaker 6: hitting hard, and they were coming up fast.
Speaker 2: It looked like an entirely different team.
Speaker 6: Yes, I understand giants are not as good as the
Speaker 6: teams we've been playing against, but you could still see
Speaker 6: the difference in our recognition and our effort and our pursuit.
Speaker 2: To the ball.
Speaker 3: And it was interesting how they were trying to defend Neighbors.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you could see it on TV,
Speaker 3: but when he went into the slot, they weren't the slot.
Speaker 3: They were basically zoning him. They had a linebacker and
Speaker 3: kind of a safety hovering around, and then the linebacker
Speaker 3: would pick him up early and usually it was overshown
Speaker 3: and then the safety was over the top. So they
Speaker 3: did a really good job because I was thinking, oh,
Speaker 3: you want to put somebody on, you know, but that's
Speaker 3: the way they decided to do it. When he was
Speaker 3: in the slot and he motioned into the slot quite
Speaker 3: quite a bit, just like, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 5: So you know.
Speaker 4: The other thing on Mozzie is I think the matchup
Speaker 4: was a good one for him. Sixty one the center
Speaker 4: for the Giants, John Michael Schmidze. He went to Minnesota,
Speaker 4: big ten guy, came into the league last year. He
Speaker 4: was a second round draft pick last year, same year
Speaker 4: that Mozzie came in.
Speaker 5: And yeah, they I.
Speaker 4: Looked at well, I looked it up and I don't
Speaker 4: they didn't. Michigan didn't play Minnesota in twenty one or
Speaker 4: twenty two. They did maybe play earlier. But he this
Speaker 4: isn't a veteran guy that he's going up against, and
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe you can speak to it. I
Speaker 4: mean just from a confident standpoint. Once you get good
Speaker 4: reps and then you start building your confidence. Even as
Speaker 4: a defensive tackle. It's no question with a cornerback, but
Speaker 4: with even with a defensive lineman, you play with more
Speaker 4: a surety when you're playing with.
Speaker 6: He could have had that feeling against several centers in
Speaker 6: the past, but he didn't. So the fact that he
Speaker 6: has this one coming up now, I think it's just
Speaker 6: a matter of his maturity. Of course, having a younger
Speaker 6: center has something to do with it, but I've seen
Speaker 6: him perform less with guys that weren't as good as
Speaker 6: that center. Well that he played.
Speaker 5: He was saying around drafted, He's not that like that
Speaker 5: center is a bad fire.
Speaker 6: You know, I mean, but this is this is the
Speaker 6: moment that he chose to finally come through and play
Speaker 6: like he played. And it seemed like, like you said,
Speaker 6: it seems like he just knew it. He seemed like
Speaker 6: he knew it. I mean, he didn't seem surprised at
Speaker 6: what he is doing in this particular game. So what
Speaker 6: he's done now, he's put a spotlight on himself.
Speaker 2: Let's see how this goes from here on.
Speaker 6: Let's see how you play against the Pittsburgh Steelers center.
Speaker 6: Let's see how you play against the Detroit Lions center.
Speaker 6: Let's see how that ends up nuts in the storehouse.
Speaker 4: All right, we continue on that note with more mixed shots.
Speaker 5: Just a moment.
Speaker 2: Someone didn't know they wouldn't.

Speaker 3: All right, you had to pronounce all those man shot
Speaker 3: dove like, did I say that?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: Making You're a big hockey fan, right I am? And
Speaker 4: then in hockey, they at the end of a game
Speaker 4: they have like the three stars of the game.
Speaker 5: I don't know where that started, but.
Speaker 4: So if you were to take that approach to the
Speaker 4: Cowboys offense last night. Who are the three stars of
Speaker 4: the Cowboys offense last night, Dak Prescott, he's your star
Speaker 4: number one, Star number two, Ceedee lamb Okay, and Star
Speaker 4: number three Hunter Lipke.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, my guy, my guy.
Speaker 5: Welcome everyone's stealing him from me.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's crazy, my guy.
Speaker 6: Right, I almost I almost tweeted you guys, texted you
Speaker 6: guys last night.
Speaker 2: And then I forget it.
Speaker 6: He'll make another play, which he did, like Hunter Lipkey, Wow,
Speaker 6: what has happened.
Speaker 7: Well, think about it, he's.
Speaker 6: Turning into it. You know what valuable piece. I have
Speaker 6: a prediction puzzle.
Speaker 7: Did you see how many snaps he got?
Speaker 4: Twenty nine on offense and fifteen on special teams. They
Speaker 4: do have a Pro Bowl spot on at fullback. Yes,
Speaker 4: they have a fullback spot on the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kyle EUSt Check better lookout. Kyle EUSt Check is
Speaker 4: an eight time Pro Bowler, Okay, because he's about the
Speaker 4: only one that ever puts up anything from that to
Speaker 4: a number of snaps.
Speaker 5: He plays to stats.
Speaker 4: And there's now a new challenger for the fullback position
Speaker 4: on the Pro Bowl team, and his name is Hunter Lipkey.
Speaker 3: They asked Dak about him, and then somebody said, do
Speaker 3: you have a nickname for him? He goes, no, he goes,
Speaker 3: I just call him Mike Alstat.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he goes.
Speaker 5: He reminds us to know the game, Dak, Yes.
Speaker 7: Mike Golstatt. But think about it.
Speaker 3: He had he picked up three first downs on drives
Speaker 3: that were potential scoring drives.
Speaker 7: Two of them were.
Speaker 3: Caught, one pass, had two runs for first downs, and
Speaker 3: he would have been three for three if Aubrey had
Speaker 3: hit the field goal. But they were drive saving plays,
Speaker 3: extending and and think about it, and in those situations,
Speaker 3: they were giving him the ball.
Speaker 4: So you're you're not ready yet to induct Hunter Lopkey
Speaker 4: into the Cowboys Ring of Honor, like Mike Alstott is
Speaker 4: in the Tampa Bay six time Pro bowler and Super
Speaker 4: Bowl champion, third time third Team I mean third, three
Speaker 4: time first team All Pro Mike Alstott who went. He's
Speaker 4: now fifty years old, six one, two hundred forty eight pounds,
Speaker 4: and that's basically what Hunter Lipke is now. He came
Speaker 4: in to league at sixty one, two thirty, but he's up.
Speaker 4: He put up fifteen pounds, you up to two forty
Speaker 4: five US. Check's about that size. But one of the
Speaker 4: big things on him is they're using him in a
Speaker 4: tight end role. There's a need on this team for
Speaker 4: a second tight end and they're using him in that role.
Speaker 4: And that's how San Francisco uses use Check a lot too.
Speaker 4: I mean last game. I actually went this morning and
Speaker 4: looked it up because Kittle was out. I was like,
Speaker 4: who's playing tight end for the Niners? And I can't remember.
Speaker 4: It was a journeyman who played tight end for him
Speaker 4: and got sixty one snaps. But us Check got forty
Speaker 4: snaps for the Niners in that game, and the Cowboys
Speaker 4: are using There was an old thinking in the NFL
Speaker 4: that you can't play a six to one guy at
Speaker 4: tight end, right, Okay, Well, these are six to one
Speaker 4: guys that are getting reps, not as a true aditional
Speaker 4: inline blocking some of the same same type if you have.
Speaker 6: If you have a full back that knows how to block,
Speaker 6: and full backs block, blocking is blocking, so you've hit
Speaker 6: big lineman before. You can do the same thing at
Speaker 6: tight end big linebackers the same thing at tight end
Speaker 6: that you could do a full back. So I must
Speaker 6: admit when I was really impressed with him was in
Speaker 6: the game that we lost. That was in the comeback,
Speaker 6: but think it was the comeback against Baltimore and he
Speaker 6: caught up a deep.
Speaker 2: Pass down down the side.
Speaker 6: And it didn't look like he was you know, it
Speaker 6: didn't look like it was a big deal at all.
Speaker 2: He just brought it in very natural.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like whoa okay, okay, And I think I actually
Speaker 6: did text that out to but I spelled his name
Speaker 6: off I p l I p u EPI, So yeah,
Speaker 6: I'm I'm impressed with him. But if I was gonna
Speaker 6: go with my three dak CD and whoever the hell
Speaker 6: brought up, whoever the hell was able to come up
Speaker 6: with the scheme to get CD open better, it was different.
Speaker 6: The scheme was different than how we played CD and
Speaker 6: threw to him in this game versus the plays that
Speaker 6: we had set up for him in the other game.
Speaker 6: I know it looks the same, but we were able
Speaker 6: to clear out the middle a lot better and it
Speaker 6: was all open for him to come inside and owned
Speaker 6: the entire inside of that giant steveense.
Speaker 7: No matter where he was, you didn't worry.
Speaker 2: About safeties coming down.
Speaker 6: Somehow they were able to clear things out to whether
Speaker 6: the safeties weren't able to key on CD lamb because
Speaker 6: there were a lot of times when he and that
Speaker 6: corner were isolated and that is not what that cornerback wanted.
Speaker 3: And he pointed out that the touchdown passed, it was
Speaker 3: one of the few times, if only time, that they
Speaker 3: single covered him because they were doubling him quite a bit.
Speaker 2: But they were still able to find.
Speaker 7: Him, still get him the ball because he was on
Speaker 7: the move.
Speaker 6: And let's call it what it is, guys, that passed
Speaker 6: the CD lamb. That was one of the best passes
Speaker 6: you're going to see Dak Prescott throw. That's what you
Speaker 6: call throwing someone open because once he got it once,
Speaker 6: once seed he got the leverage on the corner back,
Speaker 6: you throw it inside to.
Speaker 2: Where Dreke Pearson did this to me all the time.
Speaker 2: He brook my thumb doing that crap.
Speaker 6: He still pissed out, but he as he as he
Speaker 6: gets the leverage on you, he brings the shoulder inside.
Speaker 6: They threw it inside to him because the cornerback's leverage
Speaker 6: is going this way. Now CD came and got the
Speaker 6: ball going this way. Cornerbacks out of it. After that,
Speaker 6: his leverage is gone. And I don't know what the
Speaker 6: hell the safety was doing coming over, but to be
Speaker 6: able to fit it inside of both of them, right,
Speaker 6: that made that safety look as foolish as he looked.
Speaker 3: He said afterwards that they said something about, well, what's
Speaker 3: your mindset when you get man coverage?
Speaker 7: He goes, score a touchdown?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he goes.
Speaker 3: And so we were talking to Dak. He was we
Speaker 3: were walking towards the bus, and I said, when did
Speaker 3: you realize, uh, that it was man coverage? He goes immediately.
Speaker 7: And and he goes in and I gotta.
Speaker 6: It was they saw it was a blitz coming blitz right,
Speaker 6: and they picked up the hunter.
Speaker 5: Nope, I thought it was hunter at first.
Speaker 4: It was over you're right, yeah, and uh no that
Speaker 4: uh there.
Speaker 6: Must have been uh just one one high safety, one
Speaker 6: high safety.
Speaker 7: I think you're right. But they were doubling him most
Speaker 7: of the time.
Speaker 2: Well, he keyed him.
Speaker 3: And that was their guy the banks, you know, and
Speaker 3: they were cornerback short two cornerbacks exactly in the game. Rico,
Speaker 3: I think you saw what he can do if there's
Speaker 3: like a hole to run into, and.
Speaker 4: You know, people get on Zeke all the time. Well
Speaker 4: we saw Zeke looked like Rico.
Speaker 7: To me, he's done. He's too old. I mean, well,
Speaker 7: did you see the screen pass again? Get him in
Speaker 7: the open, right?
Speaker 4: So yeah, the problem with the run game is they're
Speaker 4: haven't and McCarthy talked about it this morning on his
Speaker 4: Coaches Show, that they haven't gotten enough at bats to
Speaker 4: run the ball when you're playing from behind.
Speaker 6: From behind, well, they had the defensive lineman going backwards
Speaker 6: every time you got running backs, putting the helmets into
Speaker 6: the chest of defensive linemen. Who already compromised because they've
Speaker 6: been blocked back, was a little bit created that softness
Speaker 6: every back.
Speaker 2: Lipkey did it, Zeke did it, and dallalded.
Speaker 6: They put their chest into the lineas put their heads
Speaker 6: into the Lina's chest. Eight yards eight yards of pop
Speaker 6: it one time. Yeah, loving it. I was loving that.
Speaker 6: They kept talking about how good that defensive line was.
Speaker 6: They didn't play well and.
Speaker 3: They only had twenty three runs.
Speaker 5: Still twenty three radio.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter that it was three and a half
Speaker 4: yard the averages out to three and a half.
Speaker 2: Yards of carry. That was okay.
Speaker 7: They were they were picking up yards on first.
Speaker 6: Kicking up and it made it so easy for us
Speaker 6: on second and third.
Speaker 2: Right, that's how you end up getting dry.
Speaker 3: And think about how many six yard runs they had
Speaker 3: on first.
Speaker 5: Down and there and but I thought, I thought Dak
Speaker 5: looked sharper this game.
Speaker 2: He did, you know.
Speaker 5: Then the Ravens game seemed to be off a little bit.
Speaker 2: We talked about We tweeted about that. Yeah, I Textedbut I.
Speaker 3: Think he was flustered in the in the pocket that
Speaker 3: the protection wasn't as good and this one he had
Speaker 3: time to step up.
Speaker 4: There were passes that were you know, even completed passes
Speaker 4: that were like behind the receiver and stuff.
Speaker 6: That's why Seed was he he didn't want to say
Speaker 6: it doing his apology, but that's one of the reasons
Speaker 6: that he was also so upset because he and Dak
Speaker 6: were just not on the same page. Even the one
Speaker 6: that he caught I think it was against Baltimore. It
Speaker 6: was behind him on the land and it almost got
Speaker 6: ripped out of his hands because that gave the dB
Speaker 6: a chance. And so he I told you, guys, I said, uh,
Speaker 6: And you even admitted that some of his depacities last
Speaker 6: few weeks, last week quarters that we talked about, they
Speaker 6: just weren't there this game.
Speaker 2: That was a difference.
Speaker 4: I think it shows the importance of footwork for the
Speaker 4: quarterback and to be accurate on his passages.
Speaker 2: And his pocket presence was much better.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think it had a lot to do
Speaker 5: there weren't.
Speaker 4: There wasn't a lot of uh stuff at his feet,
Speaker 4: you know, to keep him from being focused to what
Speaker 4: he needed.
Speaker 3: Maybe, baby, maybe it's a It says something about not
Speaker 3: practicing ads all week, Well, that.
Speaker 5: Did cross my mind. I wondered all the.
Speaker 3: Practices were walking through. Believe me, they had their helmets on.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I was talking to our buddy with the Giants, Schmelk,
Speaker 3: and he goes, He goes, yeah, the Giants all they
Speaker 3: was all, you know, practices with ball caps on. And
Speaker 3: I said, hey, the cowboy, he's had their helmet.
Speaker 4: I wondered if Dak maybe it took those three days
Speaker 4: to focus even more on his footwork and stuff.
Speaker 6: Well, if you saw his his pocket presence was better
Speaker 6: as he moved around. I didn't see him move around
Speaker 6: that much in the Baltimore game, but this game he
Speaker 6: was here there, back here and.
Speaker 2: Ready to throw. When he came up, he looked.
Speaker 6: Like he was a little bit more comfortable even with
Speaker 6: there was still people at his feet, and he still
Speaker 6: used his footwork to get out of trouble.
Speaker 7: They only they only sacked him one time.
Speaker 5: Oh, Neeland didn't get credited for a sack. It was
Speaker 5: a zone read. And I remember that he tackled Daniel
Speaker 5: Jones for a five yard loss. He got credit for
Speaker 5: a tackle for loss, but.
Speaker 2: It's not they didn't.
Speaker 5: And I'm like, okay, well, because he could have. He
Speaker 5: could have. You know, it was his zone read.
Speaker 4: Those RPOs, you know you could he could, He could
Speaker 4: have been throwing it.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 4: Kneeland was on him so fast and he gave him
Speaker 4: a chance. Well, I just thought, for a defensive lineman,
Speaker 4: you want you want the sack over the TfL right, Well, I.
Speaker 3: Just thought the way he ended up running the ball,
Speaker 3: he was bowing out, and I'm going, well, that doesn't
Speaker 3: look like a run because you're what the lineman are doing.
Speaker 7: I know, I know.
Speaker 5: And I did go back and look and the lineman which.
Speaker 3: By the way, he had his best game too, by
Speaker 3: the way, kneeling.
Speaker 5: Oh yes.
Speaker 4: And on special teams too, they used This is the
Speaker 4: first time they used him on the kickoff team, according
Speaker 4: to the head coach. And he belongs on that kicking
Speaker 4: coverage team. And he had one tackle and then he
Speaker 4: was in on another one too.
Speaker 5: He looks like he.
Speaker 2: Looks hitting hard. Guys. They were hitting hard, especially teams
Speaker 2: we were. We were hitting hard because we were in position.
Speaker 6: We seemed like we were coached well, we seemed like
Speaker 6: we knew what was coming and we acted.
Speaker 2: We reacted quickly with instincts.
Speaker 4: By the way, by the way, the doubtell touched out,
Speaker 4: they picked up the flag.
Speaker 5: Do you know what they picked up the flag.
Speaker 7: For I do not because they never said it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they never said it.
Speaker 4: They speculated on TV that they threw it in the
Speaker 4: vicinity of BBI and so I think it was Herbstreet
Speaker 4: who speculated that they had him for a hold. You
Speaker 4: go back and look at it, and he didn't reach
Speaker 4: the guy that he wanted to hold. It didn't look
Speaker 4: like to me, but he also it looked like he
Speaker 4: was maybe a yard or two down field on it,
Speaker 4: and so I thought that they threw it maybe for
Speaker 4: that reason. But if you go back and look at it,
Speaker 4: when Dak released the ball, he still had one foot
Speaker 4: on the line of scrimmage and they give him a
Speaker 4: little leeway there.
Speaker 2: It was definitely for what they thought was a hole because.
Speaker 4: McCarthy said, McCarthy told me this morning that an official
Speaker 4: told him it was for a face mask on the
Speaker 4: other team, and then if it was a face mask
Speaker 4: on the Giants that that an official saw, and then
Speaker 4: after conversing with each other, they picked up the flag
Speaker 4: and so they get went to McCarthy had said, uh,
Speaker 4: it's a face mask on the Giants. In Marcarthy's laf
Speaker 4: so is there a touchdown? He said, yeah, touchdowns good
Speaker 4: because he was he was calling the next play.
