Speaker 1: You know, it's a good thing we have a dadboys,
Speaker 1: hopefully digitized because if we were playing tape, we'd wear
Speaker 1: this thing out. I tell you what. You can hear
Speaker 1: it much better on the phone then here inside the
Speaker 1: SWBC podcast studio on your headset. Huh. Everson Walls is
Speaker 1: on the phone this Monday at noon. Hello, Everson, I
Speaker 1: am out here at the race Field Rights Golf Tournament,
Speaker 1: sitting in the parking lot in my air conditions, uh vehicle,
Speaker 1: just watch. I'm watching us on Twitter, all right, honoring
Speaker 1: the late great. Right now, have you already played some
Speaker 1: golf or are you about to tee off in the No, No,
Speaker 1: they're teeing off right now with te off at noon.
Speaker 1: So they're ting off right now, and I just let
Speaker 1: them know that I will be joining them later. So
Speaker 1: I have to go out here and act like I
Speaker 1: enjoy playing golf. That's a tough deals your first So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do without you. Oh gee, I don't know.
Speaker 1: They might actually try it, they might actually do better.
Speaker 1: I figured you might be one of those honorary tea
Speaker 1: shot guys where you just sit on a hole and
Speaker 1: you hit a tea shot for guys and shake hands. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: that would be very dangerous for the surrounding holes. Want
Speaker 1: that you want me to be in different places at
Speaker 1: one time. If I'm in the same spot, na, that
Speaker 1: could be dangerous for people around me. All right, So
Speaker 1: that's going on. And I assume there are former cowboys
Speaker 1: that are involved in in the golf tournament out there.
Speaker 1: Where are you? We're at this Shaw Creek. I believe
Speaker 1: it's called Shaw Creek out here in Weatherford. Okay, that's right.
Speaker 1: That's the ray Field was Rayfield Stumping Grounds out west
Speaker 1: of Fort Worth and Weatherford. That's right. He always did
Speaker 1: love this this area. And you know it's Squaw Creek
Speaker 1: Golf Club out here in Ranch House Roads. All right. Well,
Speaker 1: so we got a lot to talk about. Yes, so
Speaker 1: much to get into after a twenty two to ten
Speaker 1: win over the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams
Speaker 1: and next up those Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night football coming up.
Speaker 1: But a lot to talk about from what happened yesterday
Speaker 1: out in La at Sofi Stadium. You know what I
Speaker 1: told you on Friday about defending team champions. That's not
Speaker 1: the same team that won whatever they're defending. This is
Speaker 1: not boxing. This is and I saw on a couple
Speaker 1: of the graphics this morning that my nineteen ninety one
Speaker 1: Giants we will as far as offensively at this point
Speaker 1: of the season, we were one of the lowest scoring,
Speaker 1: returning or defending champion offenses in history in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1: Because you didn't have you still didn't have Bill there, right,
Speaker 1: we did. We didn't have either bills. Yes, he had
Speaker 1: both bills. They both left and we were stuck with
Speaker 1: Ray Hamlet and he it turned out just like it sounds,
Speaker 1: badly and he made the wrong decision at quarterback, Yes
Speaker 1: he did well. The Cowboys are surviving with the only
Speaker 1: decision they could make at quarterback with Dak Prescott out
Speaker 1: because Cooper Rush continues to lean on that defense of
Speaker 1: this Dallas Cowboys team. And when you can do that
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, well, how's he doing it, I said, well,
Speaker 1: all he's got to do is score eleven points because
Speaker 1: the last two opponents they held to ten. So that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often. And you can actually win a
Speaker 1: football again game making only ten first downs in a game.
Speaker 1: That's that was an amazing stat that Bill came up with.
Speaker 1: I looked at the stats, I said yesterday. I looked
Speaker 1: at the stats at the end of the game on
Speaker 1: my app and I was like, well, wait a second.
Speaker 1: It says Rams had fourteen first downs that Cowboys had ten.
Speaker 1: This must be the halftime stats. And then no, that
Speaker 1: was the in the entire game, the Cowboys had ten
Speaker 1: first downs. So I quickly did sixty two years worth
Speaker 1: of research. And the last time that a Cowboys team
Speaker 1: won a football game with only ten first downs made
Speaker 1: was Christmas Day nineteen seventy one, a playoff game against
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings in which they won twenty to twelve.
Speaker 1: The last time they won a football game with less
Speaker 1: than ten first downs was November first, nineteen seventy against
Speaker 1: Philadelphia twenty one to seventeen, a game in which they
Speaker 1: had eight first downs, and I wonder if they had
Speaker 1: more than two hundred thirty nine total yards. When's the
Speaker 1: last time you've seen a team win a game ten
Speaker 1: first downs, no more than two hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 1: total yards, and your quarterback is ten of sixteen for
Speaker 1: one hundred and two yards passing. And we spoke of
Speaker 1: the doomsday, that very doomsday defense on Friday. Correct, we did.
Speaker 1: And I mean, you're come build with this with a
Speaker 1: little nugget of information, which I really appreciate it, but
Speaker 1: it sounded kind of like a call to arms, because
Speaker 1: you know, I have to come up with this this
Speaker 1: new defensive name. Oh, I think I have it for me.
Speaker 1: I think it sound like you were throwing some bait
Speaker 1: out there for me. Bill, I don't know that directed
Speaker 1: for me or not. Well, I think I have it
Speaker 1: for you. Compliments of DeMarcus Lawrence. Okay, he had shelled
Speaker 1: the video on Twitter of his uh touchdown return and
Speaker 1: it was hashtag hashtag underdogs d A W G S. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's not now here's the name right, It's got a
Speaker 1: little got a little roto During the game yesterday Douglas
Speaker 1: barricklow in that room right over there, and I came
Speaker 1: up with the nickname. All right, it's a combination of
Speaker 1: Doomsday and Nobody's Underdog spelled dawgs. This is the Doomdogs
Speaker 1: defense Doom Dogs, the Doomdog's defense Underdogs. I came up
Speaker 1: with mine, and you had a few appres. Some guy
Speaker 1: came up on Twitter with the most Waters, which you know,
Speaker 1: kind of cool. But now that it's just two, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it needs to have two names. It's not.
Speaker 1: It is two names. It's two names. It's dooms and
Speaker 1: it's dogs dooms Dogs. Now mine's too, it's under and
Speaker 1: it's dogs. But even with that, both, y'all still suck.
Speaker 1: You meet the criteria, but yet it still sucks. We'll
Speaker 1: keep working on it as long as they keep playing.
Speaker 1: I got it right here. Okay, okay, don't don't strike
Speaker 1: out now you're already with twice. Yeah, that's true, that's
Speaker 1: so true. Okay, I'm coming with You can't get better
Speaker 1: than doomsday, right, that's just the way that is. You
Speaker 1: can't get back, So you have to have some like,
Speaker 1: somehow a derivative of that. So with Doomsday I go
Speaker 1: d w A Doomsday with attitude. It's new school. It's
Speaker 1: new school. It speaks to the different cultures of doomsdays.
Speaker 1: You know, back then you have the more conservative Tom
Speaker 1: Landry solid I mean just methodical, right. But these guys,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're new school, you know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: that they're the three point that we talked about, and
Speaker 1: we started talking about, you know, the the u n
Speaker 1: WA and how they brought this change to the music genre.
Speaker 1: These guys are bringing a change as well. Doomsday with
Speaker 1: attitude just wa, no Doomsday two two attitude. All I
Speaker 1: gotta say, if you gotta explain it, it's not work. Well, well,
Speaker 1: I think I just heard three explanations from somebody else
Speaker 1: already this morning. All of us really fun. Well, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, this team has it on defense. They you know,
Speaker 1: they were three plays away for totally shutting down the Rams.
Speaker 1: The Rams ended up with three hundred and I think
Speaker 1: it was six three hundred twenty three yards. Three plays
Speaker 1: attributed to half of that. So they had three plays
Speaker 1: for like one hundred and sixty four yards sixty three yards,
Speaker 1: and they had sixty one plays for not even two
Speaker 1: hundred yards, So they were nearly perfect in that game
Speaker 1: and holding him to ten points back to back ten
Speaker 1: point games, and PR tweeted out that that hadn't happened
Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine, two thousand nine, and when
Speaker 1: was the last time the Cowboys started the season with
Speaker 1: five straight games limiting an opponent to less than twenty
Speaker 1: point nineteen seventy two, I believe, I think so they
Speaker 1: are no same guy keep popping up. Yeah, that same
Speaker 1: doom they keeps popping up. And here's another one that
Speaker 1: popped up, and you can verify this for us, um
Speaker 1: it was the one from nineteen eighty Oh, I know
Speaker 1: what it was, starting the season off with twenty sacks
Speaker 1: in the first five games. Now the most they needed
Speaker 1: to put an asterisk by it because it incurred in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven. Don count three of those games were
Speaker 1: replacement games. So to me, the record for the first
Speaker 1: five games was nineteen eighty five, when they had twenty
Speaker 1: four sacks in the first five games. So I want
Speaker 1: to know how you ended up with that many sacks
Speaker 1: in the first five games of eighty five. Hey, they
Speaker 1: had to hold the ball longer. That's why the coverage
Speaker 1: coverage we were. They knew if they threw it, it
Speaker 1: was gonna get picked off. So they just took a sack.
Speaker 1: That was the last thing I ever league interception. I
Speaker 1: was out there like a vulture. Mike Down was waiting
Speaker 1: out there like a hawk. Come on, man. They had
Speaker 1: nowhere to go, baby, no where to go. And I
Speaker 1: think the all times season record for sacks. I looked
Speaker 1: it up. It was nineteen eighty five with sixty two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and remember that we talked about that, I think two
Speaker 1: years ago. And then the Cowboys right now are on
Speaker 1: pace for sixty eight because they're seventeen games. So that's
Speaker 1: gonna have to have an asterisk by that because it's
Speaker 1: a seventeen game season, right, But however you want to
Speaker 1: slice it, they won a game with twenty two points
Speaker 1: that the offense only scored one touchdown two actually two
Speaker 1: field goals because they got a defensive return for a
Speaker 1: touchdown and a block punt that turned into a field goal,
Speaker 1: and they only on that possession gained four yards, so
Speaker 1: nine nothing and your best player was playing on one
Speaker 1: and a head leg. Yeah, well that fooled the Rams
Speaker 1: because that year didn't look like it. You know what
Speaker 1: the thing is about him Samone will say, well, he
Speaker 1: only had two sacks. Well, he gets these sacks at
Speaker 1: critical times, right. He closed out the game with a sack.
Speaker 1: He closed out one of the drives in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter with a sack. I think it didn't end up.
Speaker 1: They had to attempt a field goal because of it.
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, unbelievable. He was creating sack for other people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: or pressures that were creating They should they should come
Speaker 1: up with a stat for a pressure that that creates
Speaker 1: an incompletion yeah, or an incompletion assist, because there were
Speaker 1: times where he was just getting rid of the ball. Uh,
Speaker 1: and somebody was probably getting a target or two. Okay.
Speaker 1: So this game reminded me in some ways of a game.
Speaker 1: And we talk about the limited number of first downs
Speaker 1: just ten first downs, right, you asked, Okay, when was
Speaker 1: the last time that a team won a game with
Speaker 1: so few first downs and so few total yards? Right?
Speaker 1: I got a game for you, you do, And Nate
Speaker 1: Newton just walked into the something to say, But Nate
Speaker 1: Newton was there on December fifteenth, nineteen ninety one, in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: a twenty five to thirteen win over the Eagles that
Speaker 1: won the NFC East for the Cowboys thanks to Calvin Martin.
Speaker 1: Kelvin Martin had the pup return in that game. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys in that game and ate the Cowboys yesterday had
Speaker 1: ten first downs and won the game. It's been fifty
Speaker 1: years since the Cowboys team has won a game with
Speaker 1: that few first downs. But in nineteen ninety one, that
Speaker 1: win against the Eagles with a backup quarterback with Steve
Speaker 1: Burline at quarterback, and it was, oh man, how cold
Speaker 1: was it that day? Was cold? Yes, I was in
Speaker 1: my bad rap though, uh huh. And Cowboys had eleven
Speaker 1: first downs, won the game twenty five to thirteen. Cowboys
Speaker 1: had eleven first downs and two hundred ten yards total
Speaker 1: offense in that game, and uh and won the division.
Speaker 1: And I just remember the locker room afterwards, two two
Speaker 1: hundred and ten total yards. And so yesterday it was
Speaker 1: how many to what was the time of possession? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll have to click on this and that game that's
Speaker 1: one of the gutsiest wins the Cowboys have ever had.
Speaker 1: I was playing with the Giants at the time, and
Speaker 1: I remember looking at that game, I thought you knew
Speaker 1: that they were they had arrived. After that game That
Speaker 1: was their signature game, and Eagles actually had thirty two
Speaker 1: minutes and forty four seconds. Cowboys had twenty seven sixteen
Speaker 1: in that game. I remember Jimmy telling, uh, Steve Burlin,
Speaker 1: I was telling us before the game go ahead. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't care, do not throw the interception. I don't
Speaker 1: care if you have to get rid of it. I
Speaker 1: don't care where you throw, but just don't throw it
Speaker 1: to the other team there. Don't take a sack, and
Speaker 1: don't take a sack. Well, that was on us because
Speaker 1: that the game before that they got them level and sacks.
Speaker 1: That the Leving sack game that season. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: remember Jimmy telling us when we went into the meeting
Speaker 1: that coming week when we was playing them for that
Speaker 1: victory there, he told, I don't care if you gotta kick,
Speaker 1: scratch goug hold. We don't want our quarterback getting hit, Okay,
Speaker 1: And he told them, I don't care if you finished
Speaker 1: the first half over eleven. Yeah, just do not take
Speaker 1: a sack and get these people all right Troy. So
Speaker 1: Troy was sacked eleven times earlier that season. Third game
Speaker 1: of the year, it was twenty four nothing Philadelphia win.
Speaker 1: Cowboys had eight first nouns in that game. Ninety total
Speaker 1: yards of offense, that's right, and four turnovers. But Burline
Speaker 1: was nine out of thirty one in this game no
Speaker 1: picks and won the game and won the game. But
Speaker 1: it was a nine of thirty one for one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty five yards, one touchdown, no interceptions. What was
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush yesterday? Ten of sixteen o two. Burline actually
Speaker 1: threw for forty three more yards than Cooper Rush did yesterday.
Speaker 1: The key stat no picks, we one sack, one sack,
Speaker 1: and I gave that up. Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1: You know. I'm gonna tell you something. Ever, So it's
Speaker 1: amazing how it's hard for me to remember the great
Speaker 1: games and the great plays, but they never hard for
Speaker 1: me to remember the bad plays that I made. Man, whatever, yes, forever? Wow,
Speaker 1: how many few you might think it is? Yes, that's
Speaker 1: something that you might remember. You're still looking for that guy,
Speaker 1: you know. I just want to say this, man before
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm saying this on every show did
Speaker 1: I go on. I keep telling all you and I'm
Speaker 1: finished use a bad word on this air. I keep
Speaker 1: telling all you knuckleheads, how valuable Zeke is you better.
Speaker 1: Quit lowball and Zeke better. Okay, Okay, Zee, we come
Speaker 1: back and talk about that when we come back. Okay,

Speaker 1: two two five four eight six O KPE Postcompany dot Com. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me set this up with this little stat. We
Speaker 1: talked about it on Friday against Sean mcvay's Rams, when
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have played against the Rams the last four times. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: the importance of the run game, yes, absolutely two thousand.
Speaker 1: You remember twenty eighteen, I remember it well, playoff game
Speaker 1: at LA T. CJ. Anderson and Todd Gurley went off
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys. The Rams had two hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: three yards rushing and the Cowboys had fifty yards rushing.
Speaker 1: The next year, the Cowboys hosted the Rams one forty
Speaker 1: four to twenty one and out rushed the Rams two
Speaker 1: hundred sixty three to twenty two. The next year, close
Speaker 1: game twenty to seventeen. Rams won the run game one
Speaker 1: fifty three to one thirty six. Yesterday Cowboys win twenty
Speaker 1: two to ten. Cowboys ran for one hundred sixty three
Speaker 1: yards and the Rams ran for thirty eight yards. So
Speaker 1: there you go. And that was what we were worried
Speaker 1: about before game right that the Rams would run right
Speaker 1: over them. And you know they had thirty eight yards
Speaker 1: and it was fifteen carries. Fourteen carries were for twenty
Speaker 1: five yards. There you go, all right, Nate Newton, we're
Speaker 1: talking run game. Let's talk Zeke. You know I did
Speaker 1: I do this on my show every week, you know,
Speaker 1: every if you're looking for identity and everybody. Every time
Speaker 1: we got beat last year, Oh they were more physical
Speaker 1: than us. Oh they ran the ball better than us.
Speaker 1: All of these things that we having one guy on
Speaker 1: this team, we went out the draft of the young
Speaker 1: guy from Tulsa who we said was physical, he liked
Speaker 1: to run the ball. And so now you got two
Speaker 1: guys on the team that want to be physical. Your
Speaker 1: love tackle and your and your main running back, Zekiel Elliott.
Speaker 1: Yesterday you went into a hostile territory with a great
Speaker 1: all world defensive tackle that can move all over the field,
Speaker 1: and you in your first three series featured Zeke, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you soften them up. Game is close,
Speaker 1: they go up, they put Pollard in and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden he just breaks through. How How was that
Speaker 1: so easy? Because Zeke for three series took on the
Speaker 1: blunt of all they had to give, and he softened
Speaker 1: them up and he made a big play for this kid. See,
Speaker 1: people don't understand that. And then when you have when
Speaker 1: the quarterback later on any game in the first in
Speaker 1: the first half, when the quarterbacks points to the mic
Speaker 1: backer and then to Jalen Rams at number five, saying one, two,
Speaker 1: these are me and your guys. He told, this is
Speaker 1: me and your guy right here and right here the
Speaker 1: linebackers sideways. He don't come forward. He stepped side polo
Speaker 1: looking at the linebacker. He's come Jalen baring down and
Speaker 1: almost broke your quarterback back. And now you're gonna tell
Speaker 1: me about a fifth seven yard run when you bought
Speaker 1: give a second quarterback, no, sir, thank you. To emphasize
Speaker 1: what Nate was talking about, if you go to the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, yes, it was the Cowboys second possession, full
Speaker 1: possession in the fourth quarter. They were up nineteen to ten.
Speaker 1: They got the ball at the forty eight yard Yes,
Speaker 1: two tight end five yards, two tight end three yards,
Speaker 1: three tight ends seven yards all Zeke. Then they bring
Speaker 1: in Pollard and I saw this. They hit Pollard in
Speaker 1: the same hole that Zeke had been running in. But
Speaker 1: his speed fooled him. He popped through there and they
Speaker 1: weren't ready for the chain, thank you right, and he
Speaker 1: hit it for eight yards. So they had one, two, three, four, five, six,
Speaker 1: seven eight plays in a row with two or three
Speaker 1: tight ends or a fullback in the game, and they
Speaker 1: ended up driving all the way to the field goal
Speaker 1: that gave them the twenty two to ten. In that series,
Speaker 1: I think they threw maybe one pass the whole time.
Speaker 1: They just ran, ran, and ran. They threw one slant
Speaker 1: pass the CD and then on top of us, Everson
Speaker 1: in you guys, and we was down. Maybe they was
Speaker 1: leading the time of possession, but they came in and
Speaker 1: they pounded that ball and we came within a minute
Speaker 1: of having thirty thirty thirty. If our defense can play
Speaker 1: thirty minutes or less a game, we will be in
Speaker 1: every game. But the fear for me is is that
Speaker 1: we started giving up from thirty two minutes thirty two minutes,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna hurt our defense. But yesterday, at certain times,
Speaker 1: my hat's off to kill him. Yep, this this dude.
Speaker 1: And last year when I said this, we went away
Speaker 1: from the run. But this dude has figured it out.
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about people looking at you in a
Speaker 1: different light, because I know everything in his heart want
Speaker 1: to throw that ball. Hey hey, well hold up, you
Speaker 1: got stuffing right there? What did you say? Bill? And
Speaker 1: I will always remember that it's in his DNA. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: when you said that, that just cleared everything else. He
Speaker 1: can't help himself, but when you fight against your instincts.
Speaker 1: The way I know he's been and the way he's
Speaker 1: been handling this team, especially when Dak went down to me,
Speaker 1: that says a lot about him, And I'm glad you're
Speaker 1: saying that about Zeke as well. This is a guy
Speaker 1: that can pick up block better than any running back
Speaker 1: I think I've ever seen. I mean, he is putting
Speaker 1: his head. You remember Ron spring us to pick up
Speaker 1: He picks up blocks just like Ron. He puts his
Speaker 1: head in there and he hits some square in their chest.
Speaker 1: He shows building, building, and stag and I've talked about it.
Speaker 1: The culture that I have always wanted to see around
Speaker 1: here was one of toughness, and I wanted that to
Speaker 1: start with the defense. But always what count what went
Speaker 1: along with that was was uh Kell him trying to
Speaker 1: always dazzle everyone with our passing powers. Forget that. Sometimes
Speaker 1: man just hit these dudes in the mouth. Trust me,
Speaker 1: it has more of a lasting effect than a bomb does.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, getting hitting the mouth over and over again,
Speaker 1: it makes you play differently. I've been in those kind
Speaker 1: of games and it ain't comfortable. So this will make
Speaker 1: you guys laugh. So after the game, and I remember
Speaker 1: who said this to me, they said, goee, Kellen Moore,
Speaker 1: he was so boring with his play calls. I go,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Wow? He said? They said, he
Speaker 1: keeps running the same play over again, and I said yeah,
Speaker 1: and they ran it over and over again for one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three yards. You know what's amazing is
Speaker 1: ever since coach McCarthy said, with me and Kellum's going
Speaker 1: to take an extra long look at his first fifteen plays.
Speaker 1: Guess well, the only reverse we see now is the
Speaker 1: reverse with Parler. That's the only river. We haven't seen
Speaker 1: triple and eighteen reverses. So I'm excited. I'm excited. What
Speaker 1: I saw this past week gives us a chance against Philly.
Speaker 1: It gives it just because for two reasons, it makes
Speaker 1: them pay attention to the run game to give us
Speaker 1: a chance to pass, to give vibe, receive us a
Speaker 1: chance to get on quick quick intermediate stuff. And another
Speaker 1: thing it does is it helps our defense because this
Speaker 1: is our bread and the head coach say, it stirs
Speaker 1: the drink. Why not cater to it until we get
Speaker 1: dak back and seek what we do some things different.
Speaker 1: I think y'all allow me to come on invent Well,
Speaker 1: I got one more thing on the on the host
Speaker 1: Zeke Pollard thing, because I don't understand why Cowboys fans,
Speaker 1: media or whatever it might be, appreciate both of them.
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, they both. They love Tony and love Zeke. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do not understand the Zeke hate. When Pollard goes
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards for a touchdown that I get. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at Twitter and I'm going, I mean, you got
Speaker 1: a steam journalist. I'm not gonna say his name, but
Speaker 1: he puts out a tweet right after Paulard dry. Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard has two fifty yard runs in his career per ESPN,
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Eliot's last fifty yard run game in twenty and sixteen.
Speaker 1: They are two totally different backs, and Zeke's value to
Speaker 1: this team cannot be understated. And so then Shortly after that,
Speaker 1: here comes Jalen Ramsey on the corner blitz. See there
Speaker 1: there's another example right there. You know, you know, I
Speaker 1: just don't understand. It would be like saying, like when
Speaker 1: Dez and Witton are on the team, and well, I
Speaker 1: don't understand they keep throwing it to Witten. Quit throwing
Speaker 1: it to Witton. Throw it more to death, throw it
Speaker 1: to desk to see what happens when you throw it
Speaker 1: to desk. No, you gotta also move those chains, and
Speaker 1: you gotta throw it to Witten too. I'll tell you what, man,
Speaker 1: if you don't have that kid in Kansas City, don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. Just let the team be the team.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about the great quarterback big out in
Speaker 1: Kansai and that if you got him, you can do
Speaker 1: a whole lot of different things. But you don't have him.
Speaker 1: But right now you have a defense. Yes, long as
Speaker 1: they continue to play the way they are, then you
Speaker 1: don't have to do much fancy stuff on offense. And
Speaker 1: when your special teams is working too, as long as
Speaker 1: the new deep snapper doesn't have premature snap in the chest.
Speaker 1: Two things that travel well, defense and a running game, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: put your lunchbox. I packed my lunch box. All the
Speaker 1: great coaches that I've known, even the ones that like
Speaker 1: to pass the ball, know when they go on the road,
Speaker 1: if they want to calm their team down, get your
Speaker 1: defense out there and get your running game going, and
Speaker 1: you have opportunity. Our special teams have been a nice
Speaker 1: Our special teams have been nice too. Armstrong Man. They
Speaker 1: gave him the bag, and you know what he probably
Speaker 1: say in his mind, should have hit him for a
Speaker 1: little more. Well, he's only a two year deal, right, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. It was not a road game.
Speaker 1: It was a home game. I heard the screaming. I
Speaker 1: walked up into the four hundred section before the game,
Speaker 1: and all I could see where cowboy fan. I hadn't
Speaker 1: realized it before, and I'm going, oh my gosh, the
Speaker 1: four hundred sections. What is it equivalent to an Hotas stadium.
Speaker 1: It would be the three hundred seconds, Okay, okay, but
Speaker 1: there's a smaller and then there's a five hundred sections
Speaker 1: at the top. They were all over the place. And
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of wrote my column and I
Speaker 1: basically pointed out, you know what my words, it was
Speaker 1: half the stadium. They were channing defense. Yeah, they ran
Speaker 1: the Rams fans out of the stadium. Yeah, so what travels?
Speaker 1: What travels is defense. And as your special teams don't
Speaker 1: hurt you, you can win the game. And I'll take
Speaker 1: you back to that game in nineteen ninety one, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: the twenty five thirteen division clinching win over these Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles that the Cowboys are facing this week. And Emmett
Speaker 1: Smith in that game had twenty five carries for seventy
Speaker 1: five yards. Yes, sir, he only average three yards to carry. Sick.
Speaker 1: What did Zeke? What did Zeke do yesterday? It was
Speaker 1: twenty two carries for seventy eight yards, thank you. And
Speaker 1: it was a twelve point win with only ten first downs.
Speaker 1: And you might have to go into Philadelphia this week
Speaker 1: and win another twenty five to thirteen game with only
Speaker 1: ten or eleven first downs. But that's how you win
Speaker 1: these games. They had Aaron Donald and they had great games.
Speaker 1: But this team, he'll got Fletcher Cox, and they got
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis, and they got they got more. I understand
Speaker 1: who Aaron Donald is, but this Philadelphia team has more
Speaker 1: impact players versus the run than this up, than the
Speaker 1: team we just played, even more so than the team
Speaker 1: we played two weeks ago. So we've been on death
Speaker 1: roll for the last few weeks with inside players. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so ever, Sin, I'm sorry to take your seat in
Speaker 1: to Haug your show, and y'all. I love y'all, man,
Speaker 1: and I keep critiquing y'all. We need to get to
Speaker 1: a break or either close this out by. We're going
Speaker 1: to get to a break right now, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: hear more from Cubby when we come back here on

Speaker 1: doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a

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: eight minutes left on the show. Ever, so I want
Speaker 1: to give you the opportunity, since you aren't in studio,
Speaker 1: if there's anything top of mind that you would like
Speaker 1: to address here in the last few minutes of the show. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, the obvious is, you know, the more Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush keeps winning, the more the more Dak nay sayers
Speaker 1: out there, you know, trying to put the nail in
Speaker 1: his coffin. And you hear that from like all ends
Speaker 1: of the spectrum, both ends of the spectrum, and that's
Speaker 1: something that I think is very disrespectful. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you look at what Cooper has done it's amazing. One
Speaker 1: thing that he has won for him as a lack
Speaker 1: of our turnovers and making those big plays when it's
Speaker 1: time to make big plays. But let's be real, this
Speaker 1: team knows where their bread is buttered. And I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that as soon as Dak returns that we continue with
Speaker 1: this trend in regards to our play callers because even
Speaker 1: with that, even with diminishing Dak's pass attempts, I still
Speaker 1: think that his outcome would be a lot better than
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. I think that's just that's just the way
Speaker 1: it is. You know, I'm loving Cooper Rush, but I
Speaker 1: believe you can and get more out of your million
Speaker 1: damn NEI billion dollar quarterback. So let me give you
Speaker 1: an update on that. Because everybody made a big deal
Speaker 1: after the game of talking to Dak and he said
Speaker 1: he was day to day. Well, I've said this before
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again. You've got to see him
Speaker 1: sort of start throwing the ball one week. It could
Speaker 1: be this week, I don't know, and then you've got
Speaker 1: to see him take a full week of practice, pads
Speaker 1: and everything before they will put him in the game.
Speaker 1: And the big deal right now is, yes, he can
Speaker 1: palm the ball. He can sort of throw the ball.
Speaker 1: He cannot take a snap from center, and he's got
Speaker 1: you can't go shotgun every play of the game. And
Speaker 1: if you remember where the break is and how the
Speaker 1: fracture occurred below his thumb, it was a pressure thing, right,
Speaker 1: he got his hand hit and the thumb bent backwards.
Speaker 1: Now what happens when you take a snap with your
Speaker 1: top hand. The ball hits that thumb and bends it backwards.
Speaker 1: Now the plate's gonna help, uh, And the fracture is healing,
Speaker 1: you know on its time it's supposed to see Well,
Speaker 1: it shouldn't, it's not that big. But it's the snap
Speaker 1: that he's got to be able to take a snap.
Speaker 1: He's going to see the doctor again tomorrow, I believe,
Speaker 1: and they'll get a better picture of where the fracture is.
Speaker 1: But he's got to be able to take that snap
Speaker 1: before they sent him into a game or before they
Speaker 1: give him a full week of practice. So I'm thinking
Speaker 1: at the earliest it's is it Detroit after the Chicago
Speaker 1: and the bye week, And I don't think they're thinking, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we can sit him Chicago and then he's got to
Speaker 1: buy I think what they're thinking is when he's good
Speaker 1: to go, he's good to go. But I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's this week for sure. So we'll see
Speaker 1: how how it pans out. And he seems to be
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's getting well, he's gonna press it, he's
Speaker 1: gonna now you can't play with that pain. You'll start
Speaker 1: fumbling the darn ball on the snap and that's the
Speaker 1: last thing you need. So as long as the defense
Speaker 1: continues to play the way it is, they are the
Speaker 1: ones that are buying him time. Because if the quarterback
Speaker 1: only has to score eleven points, got a chance to win.
Speaker 1: There you go, Um news around the league in our
Speaker 1: last few minutes here, Matt rule has been let go
Speaker 1: in Carolina. M he will be landing on his feet
Speaker 1: with a college job very soon. You think he's more
Speaker 1: suited to college, I don't know. I don't. I think
Speaker 1: he could probably in a better situation than he could
Speaker 1: be an NFL coach. You know, so much of it
Speaker 1: is what do you have to work with? Well, who's
Speaker 1: your quarterback? Exactly? And um, and I think he should
Speaker 1: be a front runner for that Nebraska job. I think
Speaker 1: he would do a great bad Nebraska, and there's several
Speaker 1: other openings right from the college. Right. I think uh
Speaker 1: Texas found out the value of a good quarterback because
Speaker 1: that kid is awfully good. Yes he is. Yes, we
Speaker 1: don't even want to talk about I pick Click because
Speaker 1: I think all of us stuck. Not so much the score.
Speaker 1: I think the players we've picked. No, we we all
Speaker 1: picked the We all picked the right, picked the Click.
Speaker 1: We all picked Micah. Yeah. Every week, every week we
Speaker 1: pick Mica. So yeah, we can't lose, right, I believe.
Speaker 1: I believe I had vander Ish. Yeah, he had five
Speaker 1: tackles and they had six and almost had a sad Yeah,
Speaker 1: they had six guys, three with six tackles and three
Speaker 1: with five tackles. The ers on the team. I gave
Speaker 1: them often way too much credit. At twenty three twenty
Speaker 1: I had twenty twenty one, so now I'm not real close. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was twenty four to sixteen. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: had Cavante Turpin because of his preseason exploits just won't
Speaker 1: give him a chance. They will not give him a chance.
Speaker 1: But you know what I've been in position to it's
Speaker 1: causing some bad punts at times, So I win. Yeah, Right,
Speaker 1: bad punts. They don't want to kick Armstrong so bad. Hey,
Speaker 1: and well, I don't think we talked enough about him,
Speaker 1: and maybe tomorrow we need to do this too. Sam Williams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because with Parsons out at some point, Uh, this kid
Speaker 1: got in there and they know who Sam Williams is
Speaker 1: right now. He ended up with twenty five snaps, so
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent. You can see with him that he's
Speaker 1: gaining more confidence. Yeah, he's playing football. He's not thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, we've recovered. I actually when I chose a Fowler,
Speaker 1: I was trying to pick some guys you know that
Speaker 1: we're really showing some good, good, good action behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: and he was my second thought. But I thought with
Speaker 1: Fowler going back home or back to his former team,
Speaker 1: I thought that that would motivate. He did okay, but
Speaker 1: they didn't really give him a chance to slay much. See.
Speaker 1: I've I've thought since day one with Sam Williams and
Speaker 1: is getting to know him a little bit and talking
Speaker 1: to him at training camp and following him there, that
Speaker 1: it would he would be a second half of the
Speaker 1: season guy. Yeah, it would just take some time for
Speaker 1: him to learn the NFL game. Confidence and I think
Speaker 1: for the first time yesterday we really showed he's really
Speaker 1: showed signs that he's things are slowing down for him
Speaker 1: and he gets it. So he ended up. I know
Speaker 1: he only had two tackles, but he had a tackle
Speaker 1: for a loss, a quarterback hit, a pass defense, and
Speaker 1: a fumble recovery. That's pretty darn good when you only
Speaker 1: get the amount of snaps he got. So, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: starting to see him, and you're starting to see him
Speaker 1: right side, left side. They're moving him around, and I
Speaker 1: think his talent is coming out right now. And that's
Speaker 1: what you get when you kinda bring guys along and
Speaker 1: give them a chance and don't put him in over
Speaker 1: their head. And you know what, and even Tyler Smith,
Speaker 1: I know he gave up the sack, he gave up
Speaker 1: the holding call, but you know what, he played sixty
Speaker 1: some snaps and did a pretty good job. When you
Speaker 1: run the ball for one hundred and sixty. If you
Speaker 1: heard any concern on a Dalton Schultz, all I heard
Speaker 1: was knee and they didn't specify if it was the
Speaker 1: same knee, and he only played ten snaps in the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And Ferguson and and Hendershot both got around thirty five
Speaker 1: snaps in the game, and those guys two tight ends
Speaker 1: that they're doing it. And give a pat on the
Speaker 1: back to Forniac playing fullback. Let's give them love to
Speaker 1: Tona McGregor man he was governing. The Cowboys are strutting
Speaker 1: around the stadium after that woman. There were a couple
Speaker 1: of times where he really more than he can handle.
Speaker 1: So no, that was a good move. And then the
Speaker 1: head coach gave credit before for the pregame or the
Speaker 1: Saturday night talk, and I had no idea what he
Speaker 1: was talking about. He was talking about Doc Curry spoke
Speaker 1: to the team before the game, and it was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: who's Doc Curry. Somebody said DC, and I go, you're
Speaker 1: still gonna have to But he basically said, you know
Speaker 1: you're here, You're in the moment, do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: And I heard there were some some big time celebrities
Speaker 1: up in a suite. I kind of heard some of that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't me though, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: that does it for this edition of mix shots, hit
Speaker 1: them long and hit him straight ever since. At the
Speaker 1: ray Field Right Golf tournament, all right, I'll be in tomorrow,
Speaker 1: all right, and if you have to play defense, and
Speaker 1: we leave you with another edition of a victory Monday
Speaker 1: salute to your four and one Dallas Cowboys. See you
Speaker 1: tomorrow at News Cowboys Stand. This has been a production
Speaker 1: of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Clock.
