Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola And we are nobodies underdog? Is Mick
Speaker 1: Shots high noon on a Thursday inside the SWBC podcast
Speaker 1: studio at the Star in Frisco game on we are
Speaker 1: Nobody's under dog. That's what he said that I couldn't
Speaker 1: hear at the very end of this first end. You
Speaker 1: couldn't hear. I couldn't. I was sitting right there and
Speaker 1: everybody laughed, and I didn't hear him, not like you know,
Speaker 1: I heard the point. Yeah, he just got like hey man,
Speaker 1: you know soon as he said yes, what was the line?
Speaker 1: They said five points? He couldn't believe it. No. It
Speaker 1: was like it was like whose favorite? Yeah right, we
Speaker 1: we No, No, I'll just say, wow, where nobody's under
Speaker 1: No quote me on that. I'm going to write that
Speaker 1: down there you go, right, And so I was thinking
Speaker 1: that's gonna be in three inch headlines. Win the game
Speaker 1: and nobody will know that He was smiling the whole time. No, no,
Speaker 1: stakes don't go well with that. That's how the banner
Speaker 1: headlines get started. Five right there? Five points? Whose favorite?
Speaker 1: He was like, he didn't want to be something. That
Speaker 1: was what was funny about it. It was like he
Speaker 1: really he really thought that the Cowboys would be favorite.
Speaker 1: Ran one against two and two? Right, that's what he's
Speaker 1: thinking it must be, is it? No? Well, yeah, that
Speaker 1: fits right in what I was going to write for Friday.
Speaker 1: There you go, because I was gonna start off with saying,
Speaker 1: so why not the Cowboys? Right now? I got my
Speaker 1: cook to go with it. Five. It started at four,
Speaker 1: it's up to five now, well five point five? Wasn't
Speaker 1: it a five and a half? A think? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's what they said anyway, I mean, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that have we shown to be that inept?
Speaker 1: All I know is their offensive line hasn't gotten more healthy.
Speaker 1: It was four. Someone told me four the other day,
Speaker 1: and I said, well, what they're factoring in on that?
Speaker 1: From the start? Three points? Three points home and then
Speaker 1: up quarterbacks one for rush. Now they've added another point? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but what are they what they have to subtract as well?
Speaker 1: Well because they sucked right now, let's just be real.
Speaker 1: Oh look ask your bookie, only he can ask um.
Speaker 1: And so that shows what the run is. The early
Speaker 1: run on the game is that until they're you know,
Speaker 1: they don't trust us, They really don't. No one trust us.
Speaker 1: After last year, we're looking so good and take in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Well, clearly the betting money on the four
Speaker 1: point was that it was going all around, it was
Speaker 1: going too high. Yeah right, yeah, so they raised it
Speaker 1: to five and a half. Now, yeah, so there you go,
Speaker 1: and it's that's so McCarthy's got his Saturday night speech
Speaker 1: written that he had never he's never used it before,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that he will. Dogs. Guy, where
Speaker 1: nobody's under this Bill pass quote right there, right where
Speaker 1: nobody's underdone? Yeah, that sounds like something he would say,
Speaker 1: but he'd be like he's sneer when he sayd He
Speaker 1: wouldn't somehow would he say it in the press conference
Speaker 1: or just to the team. Oh, he was because that's
Speaker 1: how he talks through the team, right exactly. I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you think Jimmy was doing right? He was
Speaker 1: talking he press team, Yeah, your team can hear you? Right,
Speaker 1: it's almost like, oh, now we gotta It's like Jerry said,
Speaker 1: I you know, when I make my bet with my mouth,
Speaker 1: you know, now I got to cover the check. That's right.
Speaker 1: And Age, if you're gonna talk the talk, don't write check.
Speaker 1: Don't write the check with your mouth that your gass
Speaker 1: can't cash. That's all. That's all right. So that's what
Speaker 1: I got out of Mike mccarthurice conference this morning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there wasn't anything kind of meaty or anything like that.
Speaker 1: That's spice things up a little bit, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: He's very complimentary of Aaron Donald, very commentary of Wagner,
Speaker 1: very complimentary yesterday of Matthew Stafford. I love, I love
Speaker 1: the exchange on the Trayvon Diggs this. Oh yeah, ask again.
Speaker 1: Well okay, I just I just said that, and okay,
Speaker 1: let me come up with some more adjectives. Well, I
Speaker 1: just hope everybody is watching Trayvon Diggs and not buying
Speaker 1: with all these analysts say about he. He gambles, you know,
Speaker 1: that's why he gets all these interceptions. I want him
Speaker 1: to know that right now he's leading the league and
Speaker 1: passes broken up. Yes, he is so and critical ones too, right,
Speaker 1: we're talking end zone. I mean, you're you're you're ending
Speaker 1: there their possibilities of coming back. He's got nine pass
Speaker 1: breakups in four games. That's a lot of pass bakers, right,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of used to count yours and you
Speaker 1: just never Yes, I just I don't even think we went.
Speaker 1: They didn't. They probably track, They didn't keep track of
Speaker 1: sacks until night. Do you know what? You know what
Speaker 1: I called the pass makeup a misinterception, That's what That's
Speaker 1: the way I looked at unless you're jumping as you
Speaker 1: can't just step in the right well then uh so, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was and then I think the other thing was
Speaker 1: um and that's why I was almost late. Uh they
Speaker 1: were gonna do live uh snapping with the two guys
Speaker 1: that they chose two guys two, Yeah, Overton and Addington. Okay,
Speaker 1: and Overton's the guy that has experience. I mean he's
Speaker 1: been with this is I think the Cowboys are his
Speaker 1: Well it's his seventh go around, two of those with
Speaker 1: the Chargers, not back to back either, by the way.
Speaker 1: Uh so he's been around the league. He snapped last
Speaker 1: Uh I had it written down, but he had been
Speaker 1: with Rams, the Rams, that's right. But ms that was
Speaker 1: this Yeah, this year, it's Chargers last year. Would you
Speaker 1: like me to run it down for you? Sure, go ahead.
Speaker 1: Since you got that list, we're okay, so you got
Speaker 1: to start it. Matt Overton is thirty seven years old, right, okay,
Speaker 1: from Tracy, California. Okay, you when we start the very top,
Speaker 1: which would be born Diablow Valley College, oh three h four,
Speaker 1: Then Western Washington, oh five oh six? All right, the
Speaker 1: first NFL. Okay, now seven, I think that adds to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where Castern Washington. Yeah, I didn't know the head of
Speaker 1: Eastern washn is a red field, but I don't know
Speaker 1: what color Western Washing the Pacific they safety from Eastern Washington.
Speaker 1: From Eastern this is Western Washing. Okay has the field?
Speaker 1: Eastern has the red field. It's Western in the bay
Speaker 1: or what's in the western it sound I guess Western Washington?
Speaker 1: All right? Naturally Seahawks this first, okay, and he was
Speaker 1: it was just probably the off season. He didn't play
Speaker 1: in a game the Tri Cities Fever. No, we don't
Speaker 1: need to Florida Tuskers Seahawks again as a practice squad
Speaker 1: or offseason edition in two thousand and ten. That was
Speaker 1: three years after his initial journey there all right, And
Speaker 1: then he was with the Omaha Nighthawks twenty ten eleven.
Speaker 1: Is that like indoor and maybe let's let's pretend it
Speaker 1: is okay? And then finally finally with the Indianapolis Colts
Speaker 1: for five seasons twenty twelve through sixteen, Jacksonville seventeen and eighteen.
Speaker 1: So two years there, Chargers in nineteen, Titans in twenty,
Speaker 1: Chargers in twenty one. Rams. Yes, M's practice squad this
Speaker 1: year and now Cowboys practice squad. We'll see if he
Speaker 1: gets in the game. He made the Pro Bowl in
Speaker 1: two thousand. Tell you know what. That's with the Colts.
Speaker 1: That's the guy right right, because the other guy, the
Speaker 1: other guy, well he's thirty seven years old though he
Speaker 1: so we tap the ball, Yeah, just snapped the ball.
Speaker 1: I don't care if he done. Yeah, they just the
Speaker 1: last guy didn't hurt his shoulders snapping the ball, did
Speaker 1: he know he was? So you got to do a
Speaker 1: little something else. Now he was there was a lack
Speaker 1: of protection there, right, and he reacted, you know, wrapped
Speaker 1: the guy and threw him. That shouldn't have done. That
Speaker 1: was the problem. Yeah, if if they want solid then
Speaker 1: you don't. So now, what's the name of the other
Speaker 1: gent Addington first name? Um, I'm pretty sure Addington would
Speaker 1: do it. You don't take Addington. I don't take wet
Speaker 1: hucker Tucker Addington, all right? You talking as he's very young?
Speaker 1: Uh usfl was his last up and just too. I
Speaker 1: don't mean to destroy the suspense. But when they went
Speaker 1: out there, Mike said that they would go live and
Speaker 1: kicking drills. So for all the snaps for more kicking
Speaker 1: field goals, and from what I saw before, I had
Speaker 1: to leave all the snaps for punter Brian Anger. It
Speaker 1: was number forty five. So that's the thirty seven year old.
Speaker 1: That's the thirty seven year old, okay. And they were
Speaker 1: all good snaps, by the way, there were nothing like
Speaker 1: over the holder's head or you know, into his body.
Speaker 1: They were really good. Do they have some type of
Speaker 1: algorithm for grading ancy? Yes, longnappers. Well, that was the
Speaker 1: other funny part in the in the press conference because
Speaker 1: Todd Archer said, so is it accuracy or speed? And
Speaker 1: Mike said, well, accuracy and he goes, well, the speed
Speaker 1: usually one point two seconds, and McCarthy said, I don't
Speaker 1: have an answer for that. Well, you know what someone should,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure you have to way out right timing
Speaker 1: versus accuracy, Yeah, because that's important. And this is big, really, no,
Speaker 1: it is. It's bigger than the people think. We saw
Speaker 1: what happened in against Pittsburgh. I can't remember whether Michael
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick played. It was since played since the Cincinnati and
Speaker 1: the kicker that hadn't missed any kicks. Yeah, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he goes to Pittsburgh, Michael Michael Pittzpatrick
Speaker 1: cam and there he he dared wrong, he dared correctly right,
Speaker 1: and and they've got missed the field goal. So that
Speaker 1: those kind of things can be exploited, especially since the
Speaker 1: Cowboys have been relying on field goals. We have been
Speaker 1: literally kicking four games. Yes, okay, this is what I've
Speaker 1: gathered on the other guy. Tucker Addington a product of
Speaker 1: New Braunfeles Canyon High School, two fifteen grad went to
Speaker 1: sam Houston State. Houston States in the sam Houston State
Speaker 1: has had a really good football program there and uh
Speaker 1: through two thousand nineteen UM then two thousand and twenty
Speaker 1: two with the Houston Gamblers well no USFL two Houston
Speaker 1: USFL what does that mean? I don't know what is
Speaker 1: USFL two? That the second second? Yeah, yeah, Houston Gamblers. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there you go. And I didn't. I just saw
Speaker 1: him snapping to warm up and it was fine. But
Speaker 1: when they went behind the line, uh, Overton got all
Speaker 1: the snaps that I saw. So they say they signed
Speaker 1: too to the practice squad. Okay, and they had room
Speaker 1: and they will elevate one for the next three weeks.
Speaker 1: Why why two? Still? They wanted competition, to let him
Speaker 1: snap against each other, then pick the best one and
Speaker 1: if he fails, then the other guy still on your
Speaker 1: practice squad. Right, So a tryout that means they signed
Speaker 1: just for a tryout, you get signed, well you can,
Speaker 1: you can work out, but if you stay for practice,
Speaker 1: you gotta be signed to at least the practice. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me give you a few more reasons why they
Speaker 1: signed to Everson. I'm listening, all right. We ran down
Speaker 1: his resume. So he's been with the Jags in eighteen, Chargers,
Speaker 1: nineteen Titans, twenty Chargers, twenty one Ramp. That's five teams
Speaker 1: in five years, and so I think you don't want
Speaker 1: to bring a second guy in just in case, do
Speaker 1: they give how many games he's he snapped that on
Speaker 1: that I can find that that would be you know, significant,
Speaker 1: I think, And they don't have probably any any analysis
Speaker 1: or stats for snaps like like we had for LP
Speaker 1: where it was perfect for how many years no bad
Speaker 1: snaps in eighteen whatever, three straight games it was, yeah,
Speaker 1: sixteen seasons. That's should have given the call there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Overton, keep talking. So so anyway, that's significant.
Speaker 1: The other thing in practice, I can tell you that
Speaker 1: Dak was still doing work on the cords, so he's
Speaker 1: working on his legs. He still had whatever that protective
Speaker 1: covering is on his hand that hasn't been taken off.
Speaker 1: He was a Chargers full time snapper. I'm sall seventeen
Speaker 1: games last year last year, okay, nine games with Titans
Speaker 1: in twenty and no games in nineteen. For whoever, he's
Speaker 1: must have been eleven games with Jacksonville in eighteen. So
Speaker 1: with all those years of experience, you can sign the guy,
Speaker 1: you stay with him, but then you're always looking for
Speaker 1: somebody less expensive that can do the job. Probably that's
Speaker 1: what happens when you've got that many years in the league,
Speaker 1: and you know, unless you're with somebody that they trust
Speaker 1: you and but they always are looking for somebody cheaper
Speaker 1: at that spot. And I did find out that the
Speaker 1: emergency game day snappers are the tight ends. Uh, Jake
Speaker 1: first Cincinnati, Yeah, Jake Ferguson and Dalton Schultz are probably
Speaker 1: the two guys. All right. So now what's going on
Speaker 1: with Jake Ferguson? Who is on the injury report? He
Speaker 1: had where's my injury list? It was a knee. He's
Speaker 1: out there though, okay. And McCarthy said he'd start with
Speaker 1: Britain and with the idea to work into team. And
Speaker 1: and Schultz was I think full uh. And I saw
Speaker 1: him out ahead of practice before everybody went out, and
Speaker 1: he was he was working on different things, so he
Speaker 1: should be good to go. So they won't have they
Speaker 1: won't have to elevate, uh McEwen, McEwen, right, Okay, they'll
Speaker 1: have their three guys, okay, all right. So that gets
Speaker 1: you up to date on what's going on as far
Speaker 1: as the deep snapper on this team and many other things.
Speaker 1: And I can't wait for today's mix shot from Mickey
Speaker 1: which is coming up shortly. That was quick. The Medal
Speaker 1: of Honor is our country's highest military award for valor
Speaker 1: in combat. More than forty million individuals have served in
Speaker 1: the armed forces since the Civil War. Fewer than four
Speaker 1: thousand have received the Medal of Honor. The National Medal
Speaker 1: of Honor Museum will be a place to preserve these
Speaker 1: legacies and inspire America. It's being built right next door

Speaker 1: That's not the end, no way. Now it's time for
Speaker 1: the encore. You know what, You're right? Five times not
Speaker 1: enough times for everyone who traded in rock concerts for
Speaker 1: their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi zero sugar. That's

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

Speaker 1: prices vary based on how you buying All State, bar

Speaker 1: mix shot. What do you think, Everson? Yeah, I'm ready

Speaker 1: He's ready for to fire off a mix shot right now.
Speaker 1: He found the read. You were right. It was under

Speaker 1: fair food, really great fair great State Fair of Texas food.
Speaker 1: So we're talking corny dogs, Fletcher, not just any corny
Speaker 1: that I don't know Fletchers. No, I think it's the
Speaker 1: Star corny Dogs, not bad Lakes. Yes, tater tots. That's
Speaker 1: why Nate Newton had a smile on his face. He
Speaker 1: was walking down the Nike Star Walk back from the
Speaker 1: mess hall. The old Nate. We got skinny Nate. Now
Speaker 1: that was big Nate. Frozen yogurt. The Nate maybe had
Speaker 1: some yogurt with him coming down the hallway. Not bad.
Speaker 1: So when we finish, if you guys want to, so
Speaker 1: are we saying? So? The players eat this food? Right? They? So?
Speaker 1: This is this is the State Fair. Food is very nutritious.
Speaker 1: There's two different stations. Okay, so yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: what station. He's talking about three state Fairs at one
Speaker 1: and then they'll snicker ball. Is that the one you're
Speaker 1: talking about. They don't serve. They got peanuts in it.
Speaker 1: That's supposed to be good for you. Whatever they serve,
Speaker 1: he or they cook chocolate. Chef Andrew's really good. Okay.
Speaker 1: And we got great food, by the way, and this
Speaker 1: will be my last mix shop. We were very grateful
Speaker 1: that they brought him to training camp this year. I
Speaker 1: bet you wouldn't. Yeah, you had to ride your back
Speaker 1: a little longer and train. That's right, and Nate says,
Speaker 1: chicken meatballs, baby be and going back to get my
Speaker 1: two turkey legs. Chicken meatballs. That's good. I like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that sounds good. Blasphem. Did you ever go to Italian
Speaker 1: restaurant and chicken meat You don't, you don't. You don't
Speaker 1: replace our substitute the Italian restaurant. They get offended? All right?
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams the opponent this week. And as we've
Speaker 1: as firmly established from the outset of this show, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are nobody's underdogs, not even against the defending Super
Speaker 1: Bowl champion Rams. And we know why. You know why
Speaker 1: he speaks like that. Why does he speak like that?
Speaker 1: Because he is having flashbacks of doomsday defense back in
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. What was that in the seventies? The
Speaker 1: five zero game versus nineteen seventy playoff Detroit Lions. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite Cowboy games? And what did Tom Landry
Speaker 1: say that was his favorite Cowboy games? It really said,
Speaker 1: that's the best defensive game he's ever seen in his
Speaker 1: entire life. I can still remember, and I think the
Speaker 1: game mel renfro picked one off, and I think the
Speaker 1: game wasn't televised locally. Maybe we were picking it up
Speaker 1: with my dad's Cowboy antenna, so we were picking it
Speaker 1: up off a Tyler station or Sherman station or something.
Speaker 1: Because it was a home game, not a South the
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl and nineteen seventy and I remember specifically cold
Speaker 1: games with a radio, listening to it on the radio,
Speaker 1: and for some reason, I remember I must have been
Speaker 1: so nervous on the staircase at my house, okay, listening
Speaker 1: to it on the radio, And I specifically remember Verne
Speaker 1: Lunguis calling that game and when mel Renfro picked off
Speaker 1: the pass to secure the victory five nothing over the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, he exclaimed, listen to this mad house crowd roar.
Speaker 1: That's what I remember. It wasn't a mad house. So
Speaker 1: even let's say nineteen seventy and even seventy three up
Speaker 1: to seventy three, they're looking at this defense being the
Speaker 1: four point zero Cowboys defense. So that was Doomsday one.
Speaker 1: That was doom. That was Doomsday zero. And so did
Speaker 1: Doomsday two come along? Like in the nineteen seventies seven
Speaker 1: Super Bowl went over the Broncos, And so you think
Speaker 1: about it, Okay, So Randy White was wasn't on the
Speaker 1: original Doomsday, so he would have been on Doomsday too
Speaker 1: and too tall, and so I would have been the
Speaker 1: Doomsday one is the comps. Yeah that's right, And that's right, Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: that's right. So Doomsday one would have been the Bob
Speaker 1: Lily Leroy, Jordan mel renfro Cornell Green and go on
Speaker 1: and on, Chuck Allie, I was kind of going into
Speaker 1: the Hall of very soon. David Edwards probably, Yes, he
Speaker 1: was on that team. Y. So so you go, who
Speaker 1: Who's Doomsday three? Then I want to say your homework
Speaker 1: excitement has come up with a nickname for this. Well,
Speaker 1: they didn't call the Super Bowl team Defense of the Nineties,
Speaker 1: which was ranked number one in the league in ninety
Speaker 1: two and they won the Super Boy, it wasn't called
Speaker 1: Doomsday three. No, it wasn't called Doomsday was anything. That's
Speaker 1: why they were called. Everybody focused on that. But you're
Speaker 1: sitting here with Charles Haley, Dion Sanders, you know, Darren Woodson,
Speaker 1: who Davin Smith, Ken Norton Junior, and after that I
Speaker 1: think is Robert Jones was Robert job Jones was a rookie.
Speaker 1: Leon Lett uh Russell Maryland. It's a squad, guys, it's
Speaker 1: a heck of a squad. Chad Hennings, Chad Hennings, that's
Speaker 1: a heck of a squad. But they didn't I called pupa.
Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't give them any recognition because everyone
Speaker 1: thought that the triplets carried the team. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: offensive line as well. You asked what category in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety two total yards, give it up? They were number
Speaker 1: one in the league. You are fifth in points, Uh,
Speaker 1: give it up. And I just don't remember them, I
Speaker 1: guess because because we focused so much on the triplets,
Speaker 1: that's right. And they were also ranked pretty high. I
Speaker 1: want to say it was either ninety four or ninety
Speaker 1: six defensively, um, but yeah, no, So your homework assignment
Speaker 1: has come up with a nickname for this defense. Excellent. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: In ninety three, number two and scoring defense and scoring offense.
Speaker 1: They were number ten in yards in ninety three, but
Speaker 1: some of that is if you're ahead and another team
Speaker 1: is getting yards on you. They were head a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they rarely played from behind. Ninety four. That did
Speaker 1: ninety four defense, number one in yards given up, number
Speaker 1: three in scoring defense, number two and scoring offense. I
Speaker 1: had it ninety five. They did a little bit of
Speaker 1: a drop off. They were number three in scoring defense
Speaker 1: in ninety five, number nine in total yards. Who did
Speaker 1: defensive coordinate on this in the nineties, Well, well, it
Speaker 1: started off with Dave Juanstan and then Butch Davis and
Speaker 1: then Dave Campo. Yes, it was Jim Eddie in there. No,
Speaker 1: that was the false report. Okay, okay, funny story. That's so.
Speaker 1: Myself and Mike Doocey were taping the end of season
Speaker 1: wrap up early because Jerry well, we were going to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl whatever year it was, and Jerry knew
Speaker 1: who was going to be the defensive coordinator, but he
Speaker 1: didn't want He looked at us and he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I got too many ears here. And
Speaker 1: so John Chang, who had been the TV director, UH,
Speaker 1: said well, why don't you just give us three and
Speaker 1: then one of them will be the right one and
Speaker 1: we'll pick it out, right, So he gave us, uh,
Speaker 1: Dave Campbell, Joe Avazano and Jim Eddie Abazano. Yes. So
Speaker 1: it was like, okay, So when he walked off, I U.
Speaker 1: I walked off with them, and I said, so if
Speaker 1: I picked Dave Campbell, am I going off on a limb?
Speaker 1: Well you're thinking right. So the next morning one of
Speaker 1: the papers reported that Jim Eddie was going to be
Speaker 1: uh the defensive coordinator, and so uh it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: okay uh. And the next morning it was the Cowboys
Speaker 1: overnight changed their bye. Oh oh that's what he said.
Speaker 1: That's the ain't coming this but wow. So so Bill,
Speaker 1: you're looking at up I mean the eighties, okay, and
Speaker 1: then let me take it one step further. Even in
Speaker 1: ninety six, I said ninety six, didn't I what do
Speaker 1: you say? But I said they were not really good
Speaker 1: number three defense, scoring defense, and total yards while the
Speaker 1: offense was twenty fifth ranked scoring in ninety six. And
Speaker 1: then okay, let's take it to ninety seven. Michael Irvin
Speaker 1: missed the first six games, and that is ninety seven
Speaker 1: number two in yards given up. But I'm side, that's
Speaker 1: that's an amazing streak they have going right there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: consistent top ten, Yes, top five. You look at the
Speaker 1: top five and almost every eight they were third in
Speaker 1: scoring defense. Well, just keep going, boy, if Dave Campo's listen, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my defenses there, that's my defenses. If he was yelling,
Speaker 1: I could hear him. Get to the early they receiving
Speaker 1: even top five and ninety nine. Get to the early
Speaker 1: two thousands when Zim took over, and it was either
Speaker 1: two thousand and two or two thousand and three. Two
Speaker 1: thousand fell off to twenty second. Yeah, now you want
Speaker 1: like two thousand and one, two and three, somewhere in there.
Speaker 1: They I think they were number one. They have to be.
Speaker 1: That was when they That was when Quincy was that right.
Speaker 1: Two thousand and one they were fourth. Two thousand and
Speaker 1: two fell back to eighteenth coaching change. Oh three, here
Speaker 1: comes parcels and running a three, running in four to
Speaker 1: three still but Zimmer and oh three, number one, number
Speaker 1: two and scoring defense and number one in yards. About
Speaker 1: that for memory, Mike Zimmer, I couldn't find my read,
Speaker 1: but bar I know those number ones. So the eighties
Speaker 1: and then fell off in O four by the way
Speaker 1: to twenty seventh and scoring defense. And that's when the
Speaker 1: switch was made to the three four D defense. And
Speaker 1: DeMarcus ware was your number one pick and Marcus Spears.
Speaker 1: Spears was nine sex later first round, So no one's
Speaker 1: interested in the eighties. The eighties, no super Well besides
Speaker 1: two thousand, no one really cares about the eighties because
Speaker 1: we did not go to a Super Bowl. So we
Speaker 1: are always the red headed step child. They forget about
Speaker 1: the eighty eighty one and eighty two. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: know how I know. Passing we were always near the bottom,
Speaker 1: but interceptions, of course at the top. How was how
Speaker 1: was our run defense in the eighties? That's uh, that
Speaker 1: was something that we hung our hat on because that
Speaker 1: was supposed to counter our inexperience. Why we need a
Speaker 1: media guy who didn't hear your run defense? You want
Speaker 1: to start? What year eighty one? Okay, eighty one the
Speaker 1: defense was seventh ranked seventh and scoring defense twentieth in
Speaker 1: yards run defense sixteenth in the league. Okay, okay, now
Speaker 1: he fast forward to eighty two. Well that was only
Speaker 1: nine game. It was a nine game, but still they
Speaker 1: have a ranking third in scoring defense thirteen and run
Speaker 1: defense a eleventh, and past defense eighty three was probably
Speaker 1: still eighty three at twelve and four season, twentieth in
Speaker 1: scoring defense, number two in scoring offense, and but number
Speaker 1: two in rush defense. So that past defense ever so
Speaker 1: so every yeah, I know it was gonna be tough.
Speaker 1: I tol you. We got the fifth, got the pigs.
Speaker 1: He was making a lot of tackles that you Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. They had eighties on their jerseys. And see
Speaker 1: what happened in the eighties, the flex started to become exposed.
Speaker 1: You know, Chicago was running on as well, because you
Speaker 1: know he comes Walter pay great running backs. Of course
Speaker 1: in the eighties and twenty years from the figured out
Speaker 1: that zone blocking is what they needed. You had the
Speaker 1: Hogs came through, You had the Rams with Jackie Slader,
Speaker 1: ken Hill had a great offensive line. Eric Dickerson still
Speaker 1: he's still running on us. I'm still I still see
Speaker 1: his legs and I running in front of them. By
Speaker 1: the way, and he has h so that he average
Speaker 1: went over two hundred yards on us every time he played.
Speaker 1: So speaking including uh, I hate to bring this up.
Speaker 1: The play I just happened to be on that page
Speaker 1: right now. That playoff loss to the Rams. It was
Speaker 1: thirty four carries for two hundred and four Was that here?
Speaker 1: That was there? Well? Yeah, and thirty four carries two
Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight yards and two touchdowns. Thirty four
Speaker 1: carries twenty twenty to nothing Rams. He had a quarterback
Speaker 1: that was Spags Height from Canada, Deeter Brock, who was
Speaker 1: six of twenty two for fifty yards to that game.
Speaker 1: Nicky would have been six for twenty and one interception.
Speaker 1: It should have been two. Mirandy White jumped offside. I
Speaker 1: wonder who got that interception? One? Who got both of them?
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Okay, So there you go. There's your trip
Speaker 1: down memory. Defense, Defense wins championships. There you go. All right,
Speaker 1: we continue with more mix shots in a moment. We
Speaker 1: paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Can you pass me a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey,

Speaker 1: rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi

Speaker 1: were taking a trip down memory lane Cowboys rams at
Speaker 1: infamous playoff game back in nineteen eighty five when Eric
Speaker 1: Dickerson went for thirty four carries, two hundred and forty
Speaker 1: eight yards and two touchdowns and the Cowboys lost twenty
Speaker 1: to nothing despite two interceptions by Eversons. Altho one is
Speaker 1: in the record book and that was the That was
Speaker 1: the eighty five eighty five season. Fast forward and does
Speaker 1: history repeat itself in some ways in the playoffs? Will
Speaker 1: we take you to twenty eighteen and the Cowboys headed
Speaker 1: west again to take on the rams and the playoffs
Speaker 1: at Memorial Coliseum, that's right. And we sat in a
Speaker 1: basically converted press box that was a trailer they stuck
Speaker 1: up there. Yeah, that's where they played the game. They
Speaker 1: were renovating it for Southern Cow before they moved to
Speaker 1: Sofi and the press box was a trailer they duck
Speaker 1: up on one of the corridors, and the bathroom were
Speaker 1: porta potties out in the hallways. See that when you talked,
Speaker 1: when you started talking about history. Yeah, yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: kind of facilities you have. Yeah, yeah, because I mean
Speaker 1: I was to play there. For me, that was amazing
Speaker 1: to play in the La Colise and that's when the
Speaker 1: Raiders moved to town. And you know, I had a
Speaker 1: good game there and everything, but I felt really proud
Speaker 1: to play that. That was pretty broadcast a game from
Speaker 1: on top of the press box at the Colie CM
Speaker 1: in La I was in law school at the time.
Speaker 1: Wow Oklahoma played Southern cal number one versus number two
Speaker 1: teams in the country. I broadcast the game for the
Speaker 1: student station KGO you Radio. The look is beautiful. John
Speaker 1: Mazer threw a touchdown pastor Fred Cornwell with two second
Speaker 1: two seconds left in the games as the Trojans beat
Speaker 1: the Sooners. I came home to Norman, Oklahoma. I called
Speaker 1: my dad in tears and said, I'm quitting lost. He said,
Speaker 1: and he was an attorney. He said, good, because you
Speaker 1: should have never been in law school to begin with.
Speaker 1: You need to go be a sportscaster. So that is
Speaker 1: my because you were such a good sports casting because
Speaker 1: I had nolue no exactly. So I went to Lubbock.
Speaker 1: I went to Lubbock, Texas, first TV job in Lubbock, Texas,
Speaker 1: making less than twelve thousand dollars a year, and met
Speaker 1: my wife and still married today. And your dad did
Speaker 1: not want to tell you, no, no, he said, I
Speaker 1: had to go. He wanted he wanted to let me
Speaker 1: find out for myself a lesson learn follow your passion
Speaker 1: and wasn't it wasn't. He knew I shouldn't be there,
Speaker 1: but he knew I had to learn that lesson. What
Speaker 1: wasn't What was the policy of him? Just just beautiful,
Speaker 1: you know, the glass and unbelievable, you know, you know
Speaker 1: what the neat thing was is out in the outside
Speaker 1: part on the the side that they have are the
Speaker 1: is it columns? Or whatever they call there. They've got
Speaker 1: plaques of all the big events there along with some
Speaker 1: of the stars that played in base You guys probably
Speaker 1: don't remember this. I do. Uh, the fifty nine World
Speaker 1: Series the Dodgers in the White Sox. The Dodgers were
Speaker 1: playing their home games at the Coliseum, so there was
Speaker 1: the deal. The center field went forever and the shortest
Speaker 1: ports right field was like two hundred seventy seventy. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so they got a plaque commemorating that. Yeah right, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: the White Sox. The White Sox were one of two
Speaker 1: teams in the fifties that beat out the Yankees for
Speaker 1: the World Series. The other one was Cleveland I want
Speaker 1: to say fifty four. And the manager both of those
Speaker 1: teams was the same, Al Lopez. How about that for
Speaker 1: some us? But you know, the neat plaque was they
Speaker 1: have the Olympics, both of them that were there, and
Speaker 1: they've got listed the winners in all the track events.
Speaker 1: I did not see. That was pretty cool. I did
Speaker 1: not see. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's on the outside.
Speaker 1: That's on the outside outside of the Okay, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why where they had the food trucks Okay, can I
Speaker 1: get back to correlation with the nineteen eighty five Remember
Speaker 1: Dickerson went for thirty four, two, forty eight and two.
Speaker 1: Well in twenty eighteen, as we all saw, C. J.
Speaker 1: Anderson and Todd Gurley combined for thirty nine carries for
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty eight yards and three touchdowns against
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in that thirty to twenty two Rams win.
Speaker 1: And that was with Sean McVeigh as the coach, and
Speaker 1: of course the Rams wound up going to the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. But
Speaker 1: all right, this is a Sean McVay coach. Ram's team
Speaker 1: that has been successful in the past, has proven against
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in a playoff game. If they can run
Speaker 1: the football, even with Jared Goff at quarterback, they can
Speaker 1: go to a Super Bowl. But they didn't run the
Speaker 1: ball early this year, right, They're they're well running backs,
Speaker 1: Harry right, Um, they've got well it's not C. J.
Speaker 1: Anderson or Todd Gurley right there. Oh, yes, the two
Speaker 1: of those guys made up one Dickinson. So they're they're
Speaker 1: the sixteenth. Oh you want offense running the football, they're
Speaker 1: thirtieth right now with Darryl Henderson and Cam Acres and
Speaker 1: against San Francisco the other night, Henderson had seven carries
Speaker 1: for twenty seven yards and Acres had eight carries for
Speaker 1: thirteen yards. So they had fifteen carries for forty yards
Speaker 1: combined against the Niners on Monday night, and they weren't
Speaker 1: doing it. And they did not score a touchdown in
Speaker 1: that game. So look up twenty twenty. Rams beat the
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the regular season twenty to seventeen. I want
Speaker 1: to say they had a pretty good running day they
Speaker 1: did that day if I remember correctly. Twenty twenty. All right,
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do this homework before the show, right,
Speaker 1: it's more fun doing it this way. Season opener? Was
Speaker 1: that it? Season opener? Yeah, that was it. COVID home game,
Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen Rams win, and it was or went
Speaker 1: the page. Forty carries one hundred and fifty three yards
Speaker 1: for the Rams. Boy, that's that's pushing it. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's really pushing it. And they had Malcolm Brown, who's
Speaker 1: by the way back on the team, eighteen carries seventy
Speaker 1: nine yards and two touchdowns. The former Texas Longhorn cam
Speaker 1: Akers went fourteen for thirty nine in that game, and
Speaker 1: the last win the Cowboys had there was twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: Cowboys scored. Oh this was a home game though forty
Speaker 1: four twenty one was the twenty nineteen the last Cowboys win,
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys corning to this, it's not counting the playoffs,
Speaker 1: says they have won four of the last six meetings Danny,
Speaker 1: dating back to twenty eleven, So really for the last
Speaker 1: twelve if you count the playoffs. Okay, So to complete this,
Speaker 1: let me look at that twenty nineteen game and the
Speaker 1: Rams in that game fourteen carries twenty two yards. So
Speaker 1: that's so we might have landed on nuggets all because
Speaker 1: Dickerson ran over. Odd Gurley has eleven carries for twenty
Speaker 1: yards in that game against the Cowboys. That was the
Speaker 1: injured Todd Gurley. He just wasn't the same after a while.
Speaker 1: You know why the Rams only ran for that little
Speaker 1: in that game because the Cowboys got up on him early. First.
Speaker 1: At the halftime score of that game was twenty eight
Speaker 1: seven Cowboys. They led at one point thirty seven to seven.
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, you don't run the football much
Speaker 1: when you're trailing thirty seven seven. Yeah, we were kind
Speaker 1: of pissed off that game, which gets back to get ahead, right,
Speaker 1: If you go back at last year, how many times
Speaker 1: did the Cowboys fall behind in the first half of
Speaker 1: games by double digits and they lost if you can
Speaker 1: look at every single one of the losses, and in
Speaker 1: the first half they fell behind by double digits and
Speaker 1: they had to throw throw, throw, which you know they
Speaker 1: did it well, but you don't want to have to
Speaker 1: do that. And so why I are you know this
Speaker 1: year they're not running it great, but they're not falling
Speaker 1: behind because you got a defense that's right right back
Speaker 1: to where we started. I don't care who's playing quarterback.
Speaker 1: If you fall behind by double digits in the second
Speaker 1: quarter of a game, it's a lot more difficult. It's
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback, that's right, all right. So that was
Speaker 1: a productive listening to this, all right, And so we'll
Speaker 1: have a fabulous football Friday State Fair edition of mix
Speaker 1: Shots coming your way on Friday at noon. Go Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
