Speaker 1: He has gold around here. Yeah, he's got a Yeah
Speaker 1: but if microphone device, Yeah that's fancy. Look at it.
Speaker 1: If I don't stay to this side, no one's gonna
Speaker 1: see my face. Oh maybe it's by design. Chris said
Speaker 1: he could have had the one radio. He could have
Speaker 1: had the one that went horizonal. He wanted the one
Speaker 1: to go vertical. You look like somebody broke the other one.
Speaker 1: You look like you look like you're blinged out. That's
Speaker 1: what you look like. Yeah, you look blinged out. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll take that. And so we have a matchup this
Speaker 1: week of the three and one Cowboys against the two
Speaker 1: and two defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, who
Speaker 1: are working on a short week after playing a Monday
Speaker 1: night game at San Francisco and not coming out victorious
Speaker 1: against the forty nine. They did they play last night?
Speaker 1: They didn't. Now, they did not play last night. They
Speaker 1: were there, they were not playing, boy, So you're feeling
Speaker 1: better about this upcoming? Yes, absolutely, last night's game. I
Speaker 1: always felt good about it. I never I never not
Speaker 1: felt good about it. I think we can without defense.
Speaker 1: Defense travels, guys. Don't forget it. It traveled. It stayed
Speaker 1: at home in San Francisco. Oh yeah, did. It didn't
Speaker 1: travel very far. Didn't have to well, San Francisco didn't
Speaker 1: have to do much offensively. They got just enough from Debo,
Speaker 1: my man, debo. Whatever debo. He said, he's one of
Speaker 1: his favorite players in the league. He was my favorite
Speaker 1: was his favorite favorite player anymore? Not since last night.
Speaker 1: He was my favorite player when he was at South Carolina. Debo.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, yes, absolutely, and I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Whatever they paid him, he's worth it. Kenny, Well, we
Speaker 1: saw that last year. We've seen it since he's been
Speaker 1: in the league. How about when he gets up to
Speaker 1: full speed. Did you think any of those guys really
Speaker 1: wanted to tackle him? Was that was that Ramsey? Was
Speaker 1: that Drake the last one? Yeah? No, one talked about that.
Speaker 1: He didn't want part him. He didn't want any part
Speaker 1: of getting ah. I mean, that's what he's back there for. Right.
Speaker 1: They put him back there to stop touchdowns and he
Speaker 1: clearly did not do that on this He didn't want him.
Speaker 1: And then other guys were old Land. Oh man, I
Speaker 1: just missed him. Yeah, I was right there. So Mickey's
Speaker 1: guy in the draft in twenty twenty one was Michael Parsons.
Speaker 1: Right from day one of the pre draft process, Mickey said,
Speaker 1: I want that guy, Michael Parsons. Two years prior to
Speaker 1: that in twenty nineteen, you're saying your guy in that
Speaker 1: pre draft process, and I think I remember that deep debo.
Speaker 1: Debo's who you want. And he didn't quite make it
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. What what he went? He went in
Speaker 1: the second round. I'm looking through he draft. He went
Speaker 1: second round, number thirty six overall to San Francisco. Didn't
Speaker 1: make it to the Cowboys in the second No, he
Speaker 1: did not you know, when you look at the similarities,
Speaker 1: we still have to contend with a debo ish type
Speaker 1: of player. Yes, and that's gonna be with the Eagles
Speaker 1: Brown Brown to me, not not as good, but he's
Speaker 1: got the same virtues, he's got the same abilities. Well,
Speaker 1: don't get ahead of yourself, because they still got to
Speaker 1: deal with some guy named Cup. Yes, who should be
Speaker 1: tired this morning? Tired? Did they have a record for
Speaker 1: how many times you can get targeted? And that would say,
Speaker 1: not the catches, but targeted. I got targeted nineteen times.
Speaker 1: So before we get into that, yes, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: this Deebo Samuel all right. And in twenty nineteen, of course,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did not have a first round draft pick
Speaker 1: because they traded for Amari Cory Cooper. Okay, and so
Speaker 1: their first pick was the Tristan Hill pick, which is
Speaker 1: at the end of the second round. Okay, Now we
Speaker 1: look back in hindsight, here would you have twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: in so this was this is now see this is
Speaker 1: the beauty of Hines three years later, four years later
Speaker 1: from when they had to make that decision in twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen during the middle of the season to trade their
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen first round draft pick to get a
Speaker 1: Maori Cooper. Okay, would you have rather now have just
Speaker 1: sacrificed that season, kept your two thousand nineteen first round
Speaker 1: draft pick and taken Deebo Samuel with that pick? No,
Speaker 1: because you got to the playoffs, Okay, and you wouldn't
Speaker 1: have you say, yes, Well, I didn't know where exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only reason. That's the only way
Speaker 1: I thought you were. I thought you were. I thought
Speaker 1: he was going to say, would you rather have Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuel or Tristan Hill. That's where my yes came in? Oh,
Speaker 1: I know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, So that was
Speaker 1: when you look back at it, that was really the
Speaker 1: decision the Cowboys made in twenty eighteen. They could have
Speaker 1: gone with what they had, which they weren't going to
Speaker 1: get very far, okay, and or they could just or
Speaker 1: they made the trade, which was what they did. Okay.
Speaker 1: And if they had they gone with what they had,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have done I mean, we can just assume
Speaker 1: that they would not have done much that season. Okay.
Speaker 1: They would have had a first round pick and they
Speaker 1: could have taken Deebo Samuel, right, and he probably could
Speaker 1: have got him into the playoffs in twenty and then
Speaker 1: they would have been left with a decision this year
Speaker 1: or the same decision San Francisco had was to pay
Speaker 1: pay him or pay yeah, which is in the cow
Speaker 1: decision they made on Amari Cooper the year before, and
Speaker 1: then they would have got we would have gotten rid
Speaker 1: of him then, no, we would have shipped him off.
Speaker 1: His availability is better, yeah, yeah, better than Randy Gregory's.
Speaker 1: By the way, I was gonna, well, he's two to
Speaker 1: six weeks. Unfortunately for him, it's not an ACL but
Speaker 1: the it's an MCL right, Oh, it's a meniscus meniscus there.
Speaker 1: They had a little meniscus surgery and so he's out
Speaker 1: two to six weeks. And the first thing I thought
Speaker 1: of was availability. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. So did you watch
Speaker 1: the whole game last night? I watched a good portion
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, And your takeaway was it was boring.
Speaker 1: It was boring. I don't think they gained over I think.
Speaker 1: But the longest pass was the longest play. It was
Speaker 1: twenty yards in the game. Yeah, for both sides, no debo. No.
Speaker 1: For Los Angeles. The longest play was eighteen yard reception
Speaker 1: by Cooper Cup. It had a seventeen byronic Is that
Speaker 1: all you say? It? Scorn scorn the tight end big
Speaker 1: wide receiver for wide receiver. That's right, the tight ends Higbee? Ye,
Speaker 1: so they had for the Rams back. Yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: good player, a really good player. So they threw forty
Speaker 1: eight passes. Thirty three of them went towards either Cup
Speaker 1: or Higbee. So, which has kind of been the story
Speaker 1: of their season. Right, And and somebody had said the
Speaker 1: other day about the Cowboys should have signed Alan Robinson.
Speaker 1: That's the Allen Robinson that yes they signed this year. Yes,
Speaker 1: m hmmm. Two catches for seven yards. They had no
Speaker 1: one else to to to throw the ball to. Well,
Speaker 1: he couldn't, he couldn't stay clear as the signing Alan
Speaker 1: Robinson three years, forty six point five million dollars and
Speaker 1: sherwouldn't have paid that. Well, yeah, it's just like the
Speaker 1: problems we had last year. When your old line is right,
Speaker 1: that's no quarterback is immunetan How many how many backups
Speaker 1: did they have on the offensive line, Yes, the ramps,
Speaker 1: Well they had to replace the center right. Well, and
Speaker 1: they and then off their Super Bowl team where I
Speaker 1: look at their left tackle as being a backup too,
Speaker 1: because Whitworth obviously retired and so they're replacing him and
Speaker 1: Joseph Nope Boom as their left tackle. Um. Yeah, Brian
Speaker 1: Allen was their center and he played the first game
Speaker 1: of the year and he's been out since then. So
Speaker 1: there's two two new players on their offensive from last year.
Speaker 1: Their third round pick from this year, Logan bruss Uh,
Speaker 1: suffered an ACL injury and he was ticketed probably to
Speaker 1: be one of the one of the guards on the
Speaker 1: starter starter, so they're missing him there. So there's three
Speaker 1: potentials starters that they've had, you know, in the last
Speaker 1: you know, since January. So let me summarize seventeen pressures,
Speaker 1: seven sacks, eleven quarterback hits, nine tackles for losses, and
Speaker 1: five passes broken up. And that's the story of their
Speaker 1: entire passing game season. What Matthew Stafford has five touchdowns,
Speaker 1: four interceptions something that nature basically basically on their offensive line,
Speaker 1: just reviewing it, they have had the middle three guys
Speaker 1: both guards and the center are missing are missing, so
Speaker 1: they basically have had to go with backups at their
Speaker 1: three interior offensive line positions. And then they still have
Speaker 1: no center last night too, and they and they still
Speaker 1: have Joseph note Boom and they have Rob Havens Stone
Speaker 1: that right tackle, soo tackles are still there. Was that
Speaker 1: the third center they were using last night? Yes? What
Speaker 1: was his name, Ryan Allen, Bryan Aloni or something like that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: or I don't know, how do you pronounce it? Colony? Colony? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I knew it. It's Coleman. Shelton also played sixteen snaps.
Speaker 1: And Bobby Evans, who was a backup to start the
Speaker 1: season out of Allen, Texas UM, he made his first
Speaker 1: start of the season Allen High School, yep, Allan High School.
Speaker 1: So the Niners were coming in waves and they didn't
Speaker 1: know which way they were coming from either, and they
Speaker 1: did quite a bit of looping and blitzing and got
Speaker 1: seven sacks. Seven saw how do Cowboys always end up
Speaker 1: playing these teams that did go off seven sacks? It
Speaker 1: was nine the week before and uh and Burrow had
Speaker 1: been sacked seven times the previous week against the Steelers.
Speaker 1: And a good thing Brady was playing the first game.
Speaker 1: And when it comes down to it, so far and
Speaker 1: no one has made any adjustments to stop us from
Speaker 1: coming in and doing the same thing. Yeah, So let's
Speaker 1: hope that trend continues, because I just knew last week
Speaker 1: that the Commanders were going to just do something different,
Speaker 1: something better, and they didn't. I don't think they can again.
Speaker 1: And it gets back to that offensive line, and they
Speaker 1: were playing a center and Nick Martin, who wasn't on
Speaker 1: the team ten days ago, and he was having to
Speaker 1: start and play every snap at center for Washington. He
Speaker 1: wasn't on a team in training camp right this year,
Speaker 1: you were saying the Cowboys should have signed him, and
Speaker 1: I got in the off seat because the Cowboys said,
Speaker 1: we weren't sure what the Cowboys had as a inside guy.
Speaker 1: I was I thought that he would be a guy
Speaker 1: that they might bring in. And so he was like,
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he was with the Raiders, and
Speaker 1: then I think the Saints had him late in camp
Speaker 1: and then released team, and then Washington picked him up
Speaker 1: when they had a need. And so but that the
Speaker 1: point is all right, and then they lost their guard Turner,
Speaker 1: Trey Turner, early in the game, and so Soddig Charles
Speaker 1: is playing basically the entire game at right guard. Well,
Speaker 1: and then we see the same scenario last night with
Speaker 1: the Rams Okay, and when we were talking about how
Speaker 1: scoring is down in the league, and we look, I
Speaker 1: mean we we chronicled, well what happened with Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: uh and the losses that they had on their offensive
Speaker 1: line throughout the offseason and UH and Brady, and that's
Speaker 1: why Brady isn't able to function outside of the fact
Speaker 1: he also has lost wide receivers that we got them
Speaker 1: back this week. I think the offensive line issues is
Speaker 1: why scoring is doing something, ye something, not not defense
Speaker 1: being so amazingly great, offensive line being depleted all offenses
Speaker 1: and there there aren't there's not enough depth of offensive lineman. Uh.
Speaker 1: Who I mean that would happen, but think about it.
Speaker 1: It's the trickle up effect from college football. No one
Speaker 1: but being trained well first because they're putting those players,
Speaker 1: those those players on defense. Yeah, no one grows up
Speaker 1: and said, gosh, can I just play guard? Right? I
Speaker 1: always wanted to play I always wanted to be right there.
Speaker 1: I told you my story about Joe Brodsky and how
Speaker 1: guys got you know, like back in high school because
Speaker 1: he was a big time the Cowboys former running back coach,
Speaker 1: big time high school coach uh in Florida, And we
Speaker 1: were talking about it one day about offensive lineman. He goes, okay, look,
Speaker 1: he goes first day of practice in high school. I
Speaker 1: don't know any of these guys. I look around and
Speaker 1: find the best athlete. Well, you're my quarterback. The next
Speaker 1: best athlete, okay, you're the runningman. You know, after that,
Speaker 1: can you catch the ball? Okay, wide receiver. If you can't,
Speaker 1: you're a cornerback. And then the next back athletes gonna
Speaker 1: be my defensive ends, then my linebackers. And then I
Speaker 1: look at the rest of the team. Guys, guys over there,
Speaker 1: you play with the worst bodies let's and that's in
Speaker 1: high school. That I'm not saying that they don't usually
Speaker 1: started off. They started off a little dumpy, So I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've said it all along. That's why these
Speaker 1: alternative leagues can't make it, because they don't have enough
Speaker 1: offensive lineman to allow you to get the skilled players
Speaker 1: to do what they do well. Even Dione talked about
Speaker 1: it when he was at Jackson State. They're saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: when you're gonna play Alabama, he said, we're not ready
Speaker 1: for Alabama. We don't have the players in the trenches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those important they make the difference whether it's defensive offense,
Speaker 1: but they make the difference, and it definitely makes it
Speaker 1: difence between HBCU and a Poli five school big fellas,
Speaker 1: especially if his son's gonna play quarterback. Yeah, he wants
Speaker 1: some bigger guys. Now, we're not playing Alabama, not to
Speaker 1: my son graduates. Give you somebody else's right, I'll be gone,
Speaker 1: I'll be gone by there. All right. Well, that was
Speaker 1: a lively start to a Tuesday edition of mix Shots,
Speaker 1: and Mickey just can't wait to say whatever he's going
Speaker 1: to say next. I want another mix shots from Mickey.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, dear on mix Shots. The

Speaker 1: dot com. Um. Okay, we continue with big shots here.
Speaker 1: And we were talking to the break about because we
Speaker 1: were talking Deebo, Samuel and Everson's asking Mickey how Missouri
Speaker 1: did he get South Carolina. I knew how they did,
Speaker 1: and how did they do? I told you they got
Speaker 1: beat by Okay, and so I said, I very in
Speaker 1: a very snarky way, said so, who does Missouri have
Speaker 1: a winning record against in the SEC? And Mickey said, well,
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt probably might, we must probably. I'm sure. Last year
Speaker 1: Missouri won thirty seven twenty eight. The year before Missouri
Speaker 1: won forty one and nothing. Vandy one and twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: twenty one, fourteen. So you're right, and you're in the
Speaker 1: last they went to. I want to see your first
Speaker 1: year or two in the SEC if you make it
Speaker 1: to the conference championship game, because Missouri did in that
Speaker 1: SEC East. I don't care who, that's how they do that.
Speaker 1: And they had the national champions on the ropes for
Speaker 1: three and a half quarters. You almost called that one spas.
Speaker 1: I gotta give you love on that as. This is
Speaker 1: almost called defending national champion on the ropes for three
Speaker 1: and a half quarters. I don't think you would have
Speaker 1: come to to what yesterday. Oh no, you would have
Speaker 1: heard the fight song and it would have been victory
Speaker 1: Monday for a different reason. All right, last night's game.
Speaker 1: One other note from last night's game. What was the
Speaker 1: best tackle of the night last night? Best tackle? Did
Speaker 1: you see the Bobby Wagner tackle? Yes? Yes, yes tackle?
Speaker 1: The fan who would say who ran on the field. No,
Speaker 1: they didn't show it on the game obviously. I mean
Speaker 1: they showed it on they don't want to cast it
Speaker 1: was okay. I just saw it on Twitter and retweeted
Speaker 1: it at CBS eleven, Bill Jones, you can see him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, well everyone everything go check it out please.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what dude was doing, but he had
Speaker 1: purple flame or not flame smoke coming out of whatever
Speaker 1: ever he had on. So he's run and her runs
Speaker 1: right by the Rams bench and um, their defensive end
Speaker 1: first came out. Yeah, and then Bobby Wagner came off
Speaker 1: the bench with his helmet on. Cost the guy. Mike Curtis,
Speaker 1: the late great Mike Curtis would be so propor of
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner's that. Oh yeah, school, yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: He laid the guy out too. Yes, bam, perfect, perfect
Speaker 1: form everything. He just as I said, he adds, Bobby
Speaker 1: Wagner added to his Hall of Fame resume. Bo's right, wait,
Speaker 1: but you gotta give the assist though to the Yeah,
Speaker 1: the defensive end, No, no, no, the guy on the jacket.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Security got half a tackle on that guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, Chris fifty guy, a little bit of piece.
Speaker 1: You gotta give it. You gotta give the security guys
Speaker 1: something left. Boom booms. They were handling on them. They
Speaker 1: were having trouble keeping up with them. Come now, number
Speaker 1: fifty something guy, he comes out. He was mad because
Speaker 1: he didn't get in on the tackles and then security
Speaker 1: was on their second So no, you get a half,
Speaker 1: you get a half. A tackle on that gets an assist.
Speaker 1: Watch this boom knocked the boom. He's right on him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the other guy didn't make it. No, so that will
Speaker 1: be the most memorable tackle of Bobby Wagner's Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame career. I gotta say the guy's a little shifty there. Well,
Speaker 1: he broke he broke some ankles. He did break some
Speaker 1: ankles down on the sidelines there. I wasn't gonna say.
Speaker 1: It might have been the time that San Francisco didn't
Speaker 1: pick up Aaron Donald. Oh, the best tackle of the night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he nailed Garoppolo. I gotta say they had a
Speaker 1: nice game plan for Aaron Donald. What they finally did
Speaker 1: at the beginning, they had to They ran. They ran
Speaker 1: the trap on it. Did you see that? It was
Speaker 1: an old school trap play right up the middle touchdown
Speaker 1: by the way. Oh yeah, that was an old school
Speaker 1: trap play because Aaron Donald he had come through, but
Speaker 1: only a step, and that's all he needed was that
Speaker 1: one step. I think that was the guard came over
Speaker 1: and then shielded them off running backs, and you know,
Speaker 1: all the the trap in a long time. All we
Speaker 1: talked about was San Francisco's defense, Right, Well, if they
Speaker 1: don't get to pick six, right, they only give up
Speaker 1: seventeen points. It wasn't like San Francisco came out and
Speaker 1: and Garoppolo was having a good night throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: But neither team, you know, other than uh Debo's run,
Speaker 1: neither team could run the ball. I mean he had
Speaker 1: the uh it wasn't they had that. They had that
Speaker 1: one trap pass will and they had a thirty two
Speaker 1: yard run. They had eighty eight yards on twenty two carries.
Speaker 1: They had twenty one carries for fifty six yards and
Speaker 1: the Rams eighteen carries for fifty seven yards. And we
Speaker 1: know the reason the Cowboys have had trouble last few
Speaker 1: times they played the Rams as they couldn't stop the run. Well,
Speaker 1: they had trouble running against San Francisco. That's why they
Speaker 1: threw the ball forty eight times. This is what we
Speaker 1: will see next week. Got to stop the run at
Speaker 1: the same type of and the Cowboys can't do it
Speaker 1: the second half and you know the first half, give
Speaker 1: up a one hundred and one and then figure it
Speaker 1: out the second half. So did you did you just
Speaker 1: give their running the individual running stats from last night
Speaker 1: running back stats from last night from which the Rams
Speaker 1: cam Akers San Francisco's cam Akers had eight carries for
Speaker 1: thirteen yards last night, he was right there with Henderson
Speaker 1: Dollard Daryl Henderson had four carries or yeah, no, seven
Speaker 1: carries for twenty seven yards. Yeah, they averaged three point
Speaker 1: two a carry. The long was eleven. So, you know,
Speaker 1: and McCarthy talked about it yesterday that someone asked him,
Speaker 1: will you watch the Oh yeah, he goes. You know,
Speaker 1: you can pick up a lot watching in real time.
Speaker 1: In real time, I think so too. And in a
Speaker 1: game like this where you know, a little showcase game, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know they're going to try to come out with
Speaker 1: the best adjustments, right because they hadn't been doing anything
Speaker 1: in protecting Matt. So yeah, what you saw there that
Speaker 1: was the best they had. That's the that's the best
Speaker 1: new thing until they come up with another idea on
Speaker 1: how to stop the quietback from getting the hill knocked
Speaker 1: out of it. Did you watch the game on regular
Speaker 1: ESPN or you watch the Manning cast? We got our
Speaker 1: ESPN back last night, Yes, Okay, And I had the man,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're yeah, provider was in a in a
Speaker 1: war with Disney that we got no college games on Saturday.
Speaker 1: You go to a sports bar to watch your game.
Speaker 1: I had to, Yes, with no sound. You couldn't just
Speaker 1: go get ESPN. Plus it's really cheap. Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1: It's part of ESPN. Yeah, they wiped out at the end.
Speaker 1: I couldn't stream it. Wow, because your provider got blocked.
Speaker 1: You can go to ESPN and you know how they
Speaker 1: have watched the game. Well, you got to sign up
Speaker 1: to watch the game, right, and you got to put
Speaker 1: your provider and password in there. So they took that
Speaker 1: out too. Wow. Yeah you think I was happy? Oh man,
Speaker 1: that would not be good at all. So you think
Speaker 1: the LSU fan in the family was happy. On the
Speaker 1: on the fan running on the field, they got into
Speaker 1: a conversation about when a streaker comes on the field,
Speaker 1: would you tackle the streaker or when he came to
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I had that on my computer. Okay,
Speaker 1: and uh ever said so he like asked Peyton, So, so,
Speaker 1: how do you tackle a streaker coming off the field.
Speaker 1: You gotta go up high. Yeah, that's what they go
Speaker 1: up high. Yeah, well, you don't wrap up. All I
Speaker 1: know is you don't wrap up. You guys forget that
Speaker 1: was that was big stuff in the day when I
Speaker 1: was in college streaking. Yeah that one year. Many people
Speaker 1: got their heads knocked off thinking that was cute. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because back in the day, the football player well obviously
Speaker 1: today as well, but old school football players and you
Speaker 1: have some hippie because that's all they would looked at
Speaker 1: as was hippies. You have some hippie fight on the field.
Speaker 1: And boy, you those old school blue collar boys. He
Speaker 1: went to the quad, to the gymnasium. They were they
Speaker 1: were so on Missouri's campus. There's the old columns from
Speaker 1: the old administration building that burned down, and it was
Speaker 1: like a cattle call. They were running through and they
Speaker 1: were counting how many people were running through the two columns, right,
Speaker 1: And as long as everybody stayed on campus, it was
Speaker 1: it was cool. Right. They just didn't want you going
Speaker 1: into town. There was people riding horses bare back and
Speaker 1: it new meaning to bear back on motorcycles. And uh,
Speaker 1: we were sitting on the steps of my girlfriend's dorm.
Speaker 1: There was a bunch of people there were just sitting
Speaker 1: there kind of watching and some guy comes up with
Speaker 1: a trench coat opens right, and one of the girls goes, well,
Speaker 1: why can't some of the football players do that? I'm offended.
Speaker 1: It was it was at the size, it was, it was,
Speaker 1: it was, it was. Yeah, it was quite a night,
Speaker 1: all right. I think it's about I'm if you're ready
Speaker 1: for a mix, shut you gotta do. So we've been
Speaker 1: talking about offensive lines, right, and the Cowboys offensive line,
Speaker 1: hopefully their homework assignment was to watch the game and
Speaker 1: figure out what they need to do with Aaron Donald.
Speaker 1: Cannot allow him to disrupt your entire offense. One man
Speaker 1: disrupt the entire offense. Um. They finally made some adjustments
Speaker 1: on him. I bet he had all five of his
Speaker 1: tackles in the first half. He had two tackles for
Speaker 1: loss of quarterback hit. He didn't have a sack, but boy,
Speaker 1: he got close and he was creating havoc there. So
Speaker 1: you cannot allow that guy to ruin your entire offense
Speaker 1: because he's that good. By the way, what did you think,
Speaker 1: saff what did you see San Francisco doing well? They
Speaker 1: they had him lined up. They you know what they did, right,
Speaker 1: He looks for the soft spot. You know, he originally
Speaker 1: started on San Francisco's right side, so he left defensive end. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then they kind of moved him to the other side.
Speaker 1: And uh, finally I think they've decided that, you know,
Speaker 1: we probably ought to put two guys on That's what
Speaker 1: I saw. And and and make sure you have a
Speaker 1: tight end to his side right now. And you know what,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have done a good job of doing that
Speaker 1: to protect their young off defensive offensive tackles, you know,
Speaker 1: playing a lot of two tight end um, you know,
Speaker 1: chipping and uh. And they've successfully you know, been able
Speaker 1: to run the ball with the two tight ends too.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you just got to do that.
Speaker 1: You've got him make concessions, uh to what you do
Speaker 1: offensively to make sure he doesn't room the night or
Speaker 1: the day, he ended up um looking frustrated. Yes, it
Speaker 1: wasn't just because they were having success, but they were
Speaker 1: having success and he couldn't get there. You know, they
Speaker 1: stayed away from him for the most most part of
Speaker 1: the game, but when they ran that trap play on him,
Speaker 1: I think that just that just burned him up and
Speaker 1: he got really angry after that. How many sacks do
Speaker 1: you think the Rams head the Rams. Once that zero
Speaker 1: no hits, they had one quarterback hit, so they figured
Speaker 1: it out he can be handled, so they see him
Speaker 1: twice a year. So Cowboys. That's the seventh straight regular
Speaker 1: season win for San Francisco over the Rams regular season
Speaker 1: regular season because the game to win, they didn't win
Speaker 1: and held him to They held the Rams to three
Speaker 1: field goals too. By the way, that was it no touchdowns,
Speaker 1: first time that happened in Stafford's career with the Rams.
Speaker 1: So it's only been to year four games, but when
Speaker 1: you go back to last year, he's Matt still having
Speaker 1: the problems that he just can't get away from them,
Speaker 1: and that's the interceptions, big tunnel. That pick six was huge, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was huge. Well that guy made a nice play, right, Hey,
Speaker 1: Bubble screens, he came out, he came off. I love them,
Speaker 1: but as a Cowboy fan, I don't like. I don't
Speaker 1: like bubble screens. I just don't. I think they're very
Speaker 1: It depends on two things have to work perfectly for
Speaker 1: the bubble screen to be effective. And first of all,
Speaker 1: you have to get a block on that defender. So therefore,
Speaker 1: if you have to get a block on that defender,
Speaker 1: and who's going to block your defender and you're counting
Speaker 1: on your wide receiver to make the key block, right.
Speaker 1: They don't grow up block. They don't and they don't
Speaker 1: look like they like it either. Now what I like
Speaker 1: is when they throw the smoke out and you're one
Speaker 1: on one, Yeah, open space, right, and you're banking on
Speaker 1: your wide receiver to make a move on the guy,
Speaker 1: and you got a better chance right well, and that
Speaker 1: goes by pre alignment. It did that against us with
Speaker 1: the Redskins. It came with the hitch er out in
Speaker 1: the eighty three Monday night. They know we play off
Speaker 1: thirty one safety zone, so they just come out. They
Speaker 1: just either throw it to him behind the line scrammer
Speaker 1: or just a quick hitch turnaround. Just just just go five year.
Speaker 1: Chances are you're gonna get five years. You're gonna get
Speaker 1: at least five And now you got space between you
Speaker 1: and the cornerback. And Carter doesn't want to tell ain't fun?
Speaker 1: That ain't fun? Yeah? I love that interception by the
Speaker 1: Niners though, the pick six. Who man, he read that
Speaker 1: and he came off of his guy. He let his
Speaker 1: guy go, this guy's safety. His guy blocked the receiver's guy.
Speaker 1: So he was left unblocked and he made the jump. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that can happen a lot. That's why I don't
Speaker 1: like him. And he got no shot if it happened right,
Speaker 1: there's no one to Kenny. As you can imagine Matthews. Well,
Speaker 1: he's feeling at that time, like I think they showed him.
Speaker 1: They showed his face on the ring plane. It was
Speaker 1: almost like after he threw the ball, it was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was he was down after that. Yeah, mentally he
Speaker 1: was down outer that. All right, we continue with more
Speaker 1: mix shots in just a moment. We paid how much
Speaker 1: for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can
Speaker 1: you pass me a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey,
Speaker 1: Oh look at that. That's not the end, no way.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right?
Speaker 1: Five times not enough times for everyone who traded in
Speaker 1: rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi
Speaker 1: zero sugar, that's what I like. Nobody protects you from mayhem,

Speaker 1: Some moves around the league, former Cowboy quarterback Garrett Gilbert
Speaker 1: has found a new The Patriots are assigning Garrett Gilbert
Speaker 1: to their practice squad. Of course, they've got injury issues
Speaker 1: of their own at quarterback, so they lost their top
Speaker 1: two macarbacks, right yeah, Mac Jones has the high ankle sprain.
Speaker 1: He's out for however long. And then Brian Hoyer left
Speaker 1: with a concussion, so Bailey Zappy there for draft pick
Speaker 1: who was playing at Houston Baptist a year and a
Speaker 1: half ago. And then they didn't have anybody to run
Speaker 1: the practice squad, right, I mean the Gilbert And of
Speaker 1: course the Giants are going through similar issues right now
Speaker 1: because Daniel Jones has his as an ankle injury and
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor concussion and they're going to London to play
Speaker 1: the Packers. So Aaron Rodgers, he gets to play against
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy one week, and now it might be Davis Webb,
Speaker 1: who's their practice squad guy, might be starting for the
Speaker 1: Giants against the Packers in London on Sunday. So can't
Speaker 1: say much of my name, but man, that was his
Speaker 1: name again with Bailey Ape. By the way, I'm going
Speaker 1: to repeat this. We've said it so many times, but
Speaker 1: I heard somebody say it yesterday. I can't remember where that.
Speaker 1: Look at the Cowboys, you know what they're getting from
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush, and they didn't even want them because they
Speaker 1: released them. It's like God, they released them because he
Speaker 1: wasn't eligible for waivers and they told him just to
Speaker 1: sit tight and he would get resigned. Goodness gracious well,
Speaker 1: and other teams are doing the exact same thing with
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks. I mean, that's the other thing with a
Speaker 1: quarterback position. You can't especially the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1: You're not You're not picking up that player for the future. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you get your own future quarterback hopefully on your roster,
Speaker 1: a developmental guy because you haven't had run through the
Speaker 1: rush of injuries or you they haven't proven that they
Speaker 1: can't do it yet. And then you pick up somebody
Speaker 1: else's You're not going to pick up somebody that doesn't
Speaker 1: know your language. And that's my point. Yeah, yeah, quarterback,
Speaker 1: it's you can't just show up and play. And the
Speaker 1: only way you lose him if somebody comes in and says, well, Coop,
Speaker 1: you know what, We're going to give you five million
Speaker 1: a year, and that's probably not gonna happen. I heard
Speaker 1: the player, a former player this morning say that Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush is doing things that Dak Prescott never could do.
Speaker 1: Oh some some guy that that's kind of nationally on Twitter,
Speaker 1: former player, I think he's an agent type Joel Curry. Okay,
Speaker 1: He basically tweeted that as long as Cooper Rush keeps winning,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott will not be able to grip the football.
Speaker 1: I had an argument during the game with a former
Speaker 1: Cowboy player. I will name his name because he is
Speaker 1: foolish as hell. You're protected to protect. And he said
Speaker 1: when when when CD scored the last touchdown, he's white though,
Speaker 1: ain't go see, Jerry's not gonna put that guy on
Speaker 1: the bench, like dude, if Zach, if Dak was playing
Speaker 1: right now, we have three touchdowns. So let's just stop
Speaker 1: with this. You know, the guy's wide open. Jerry's not
Speaker 1: putting out there. Man, you need to really stop talking
Speaker 1: because you let me know just how dumb you off.
Speaker 1: Because this is crazy, man. I mean, I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Dak is as well. And I say, as
Speaker 1: long as he's playing well, yes, Dak cannot grip the ball.
Speaker 1: But whenever Dak is ready, if he wants to come in,
Speaker 1: my brother wouldn't have at it, you know, whenever you're ready.
Speaker 1: But I think we all I would rather. I'm glad
Speaker 1: we have this luxury. That's my thing to be able
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, we don't need you, we don't have
Speaker 1: to bring him back. He can fully. I mean, people
Speaker 1: forget how good he was playing last year. I don't
Speaker 1: understand how they could thirty seven ten and that's all
Speaker 1: I kept saying. And one almost one oh five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you know best. Yeah, yeah, sounded good. It was
Speaker 1: only it was only behind some guy named Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow. Right, that was the only guys that
Speaker 1: had a better quarterback rating than he did. And it's
Speaker 1: amazing how people forget that, you know, and then you
Speaker 1: can't see anything because the other day he said something about, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, when you're on the sideline watching, you see
Speaker 1: some things and the game's not that difficult. It's pretty simple.
Speaker 1: When you're not out there in the middle, you see
Speaker 1: stuff right and right away. It's like, oh, so Cooper
Speaker 1: rush these things better than Dak Prescott. It's like, ah,
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna play this week. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: know why. He just keep he's see he's seeing the
Speaker 1: doctor today, so I assume they're going to take X
Speaker 1: rays and see how the bones doing, see where it's at,
Speaker 1: because it's almost is it four weeks yet or not?
Speaker 1: It's basically four weeks four weeks so he got hurt.
Speaker 1: They played on September eleventh, and what is today October fourth,
Speaker 1: third or fourth, eighteen twenty were a little over three
Speaker 1: weeks a little, so it'd be four weeks on Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this coming Sunday will be four weeks and that was
Speaker 1: the minimum, and then you gotta be ready to get
Speaker 1: ready to play. Um. I'm thinking at some point when
Speaker 1: he's allowed to throw, he'll throw, and then maybe the
Speaker 1: next week he practices, like we talked about with Michael Gallop, Yeah,
Speaker 1: being ready to come back. You don't just jump out
Speaker 1: there and practices. Yeah, and then you McCarthy said it
Speaker 1: Monday that he wants to having a full week of
Speaker 1: practice before he plays in a game. Yeah, a full week,
Speaker 1: not just going out there throwing the soft talk, not
Speaker 1: hoisting where he is running out there with the ones
Speaker 1: yes from from the first snap of the Wednesday practice exactly,
Speaker 1: because that was the deal with with Gallup. You know,
Speaker 1: he wasn't He was practicing right, but he wasn't like
Speaker 1: taking all the snaps right. You want to ramp it up.
Speaker 1: And they actually gave him more than they anticipated in
Speaker 1: the game. So I'm really sure he politics for more.
Speaker 1: Once he got that touchdown, it's like, okay, I'm good
Speaker 1: to go. Feel good. Yeah, So we'll know next Wednesday
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, first practice for Philadelphia if he's able to,
Speaker 1: if he's out there taking the reps with the ones
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Then he's good to get see because you
Speaker 1: don't want to him to go out there for two
Speaker 1: days taking the reps with the ones, right, and then
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I don't think he's ready. And
Speaker 1: then you stole all those reps from Cooper Rush because
Speaker 1: when you're the backup, you get nothing. And he mentioned
Speaker 1: that somebody said something to him about, yeah, well you
Speaker 1: only get a few. He goes, uh no, none, Dak
Speaker 1: takes them all. Yeah, so only reps he would get
Speaker 1: if he was running the scout team. They better be
Speaker 1: mental reps. Yeah, And that's what they do. And that's
Speaker 1: why you got to give him credit for what he's done,
Speaker 1: because once the season starts, he gets nothing. Well it
Speaker 1: was only one game, but you know somebody as well,
Speaker 1: why not give them both all the reps because you
Speaker 1: can't practice that lot. That's right. You only have so
Speaker 1: much time used to do that, yeah, right, to stay
Speaker 1: out there to finish right, every gets a nap, will
Speaker 1: be monitoring practice. You can get upset when they would
Speaker 1: try to tell him what to do. They would tell
Speaker 1: us we had to have some of this time off
Speaker 1: in training camp. And I remember Tom say, I'm not
Speaker 1: giving a bunch of married guys time off in Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 1: They can find me all you want, NFL. I'm not
Speaker 1: giving them that much, especially the single guys. All right,
Speaker 1: that doesn't for another edition of mix Shots, and we
Speaker 1: focus in on these Los Angeles rams on our next
Speaker 1: edition coming up at high noon on Wednesday, Go Cowboys
Speaker 1: Say Yeah. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
