Speaker 1: This he is Talking Cowboys, streaming live on Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot com and the official Dallas Cowboys as Now your
Speaker 1: hosts Mickey'spagnola, Brian brought us, Taylor Stern and Rob Phillips.
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody into the SWBC Mortgage Studio. It's Wednesday of
Speaker 1: Chargers Week here at the Star in Frisco. And of
Speaker 1: course we are always grateful for you guys listening, but
Speaker 1: especially today, the day before Thanksgiving. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: fun one and it's gonna be a big game for
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys after they've had two hard losses. But
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing today? I'm good, I'm thankful
Speaker 1: to be covering a game so quickly after what happens
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Yeah, just get it out of your mind.
Speaker 1: Quick turnaround, let's go. Yeah, why not? That's it's it's
Speaker 1: to the point now where they're gonna come fast and
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to win them. Though. That's
Speaker 1: that's the the whole secret. Jerry Jones said it yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's about a arithmetic now, so you better figure out
Speaker 1: a way to win him to be involved with the arithmetic.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be the guy that has equals zero. Yeah,
Speaker 1: before we got into the three games in twelve days,
Speaker 1: what did you think. I think we did a poll
Speaker 1: on that that they were gonna go, yeah, undefeated. Well
Speaker 1: that was one of them. I think everybody went to
Speaker 1: two and one. That was kind of the thought, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think think two and one won the pole. Two Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought one was the fandom. They thought that maybe
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia lost. What happened? And now you got to
Speaker 1: figure out a way. Honestly, you have to figure out
Speaker 1: way to win four games now, if you really want
Speaker 1: to be honest about this. Four out of six, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got to find a way five out of six, well, no, no, four,
Speaker 1: In the next four you've got to find a way
Speaker 1: to go on a little streak. You got to you
Speaker 1: gotta build up something's momentum when Ezekiel Elliott comes back.
Speaker 1: That's what you gotta do. You got to find a
Speaker 1: way to kind of you know, Okay, hey we got
Speaker 1: a little we're feeling good. Okay, now we add him
Speaker 1: to the mix. It's like, oh wow, look what we
Speaker 1: just got here. A Christmas present. You got to make
Speaker 1: those last two games count. Make it count, I mean,
Speaker 1: get you know, look at last year. I look at
Speaker 1: Green bas team at this time. They were four and
Speaker 1: six last year, and that's when Aaron Rodgers made the
Speaker 1: proclamation that hey, we're gonna be in the playoffs. We're gonna,
Speaker 1: we're gonna, we're gonna get into the playoffs. And all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they won. And then they they were
Speaker 1: one of those teams that you know that got an end.
Speaker 1: And of course they feeded Dallas and they beat the
Speaker 1: Giants at home, feeded Dallas on the road, and then
Speaker 1: went to Atlanta. And I know it was a difficult
Speaker 1: game for them to win, but sometimes you have to
Speaker 1: draw the line in the sand, and I was hopeful
Speaker 1: last week that they would have drawn the line in
Speaker 1: the sand. I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: little kind of like, oh, but hey, you've got to
Speaker 1: find a way to turn this thing the positive direction. Well,
Speaker 1: the defense emptied their tank in the first half. I
Speaker 1: mean they yeah, they did everything they could to put
Speaker 1: the team in position in the first half. And you
Speaker 1: only got five punts, right, five straight three and ounce
Speaker 1: never happens. Since marion Elli has been the defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: here in four seasons, I've never had that. I looked
Speaker 1: it up, but you only got three field goals out
Speaker 1: of it and then the damn broke. Yeah, and they've
Speaker 1: got to find a way to put two halves together.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We've talked about adjustments all week, but
Speaker 1: I think nauseum. Yeah, it's not so much that it's
Speaker 1: just staying on top of your assignments series after series. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and some of it has to do with talent. Someone
Speaker 1: has to do with not having certain guys that there's
Speaker 1: no other way around it. Prescott went through yesterday with
Speaker 1: you guys about the mistakes and stuff that he may see.
Speaker 1: That's not about adjustments. That to me is about him
Speaker 1: realizing that, hey, I missed this throw, I missed this throw.
Speaker 1: I should have done this. You know. That's that's a
Speaker 1: second year quarterback right there. I mean, you know, and
Speaker 1: I know people have taken this the wrong way with
Speaker 1: me about oh that I thought that Romo, you know,
Speaker 1: can carry the team and Dad can. I think I
Speaker 1: went back and watched the show yesterday and you question
Speaker 1: me on that, and rightfully so. But the thing about
Speaker 1: it is Dak is a young quarterback and he but
Speaker 1: the fact that he realizes that he can't miss throws.
Speaker 1: I think speaks well to his future, you know, but
Speaker 1: he he's got to execute better. And that's on the quarterback.
Speaker 1: But then he's not there's forty six other guys that
Speaker 1: need to or forty five of the guys that need
Speaker 1: to figure it out too. You can't, like Rob said,
Speaker 1: you can't go in these games and play half of
Speaker 1: the game. You've got to figure out a way to
Speaker 1: fight through the whole game. I think Kansas City was
Speaker 1: a great example of fighting through a game. I mean
Speaker 1: they fought through it. I mean Kansas City is not
Speaker 1: an easy team to deal with, and you know, with
Speaker 1: all their weapons, and they played great run defense. They
Speaker 1: covered on the back end, they scored points. It was
Speaker 1: it was Zeke, I get it. It was Tyren Smith,
Speaker 1: I get it. They wistood a run too. They whis
Speaker 1: stood a run. Just gonna say. A lot of people
Speaker 1: were like, oh, no, there it is that they'll marry
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half, yea gonna bury
Speaker 1: him away. You got back the start of the second half,
Speaker 1: scored another touchdown, and all of a sudden, so oh
Speaker 1: here we go. Yeah, they settled down and again they
Speaker 1: had Zeke, but they drove right back down the field
Speaker 1: and answer, somebody needs to step up and make plays. Now.
Speaker 1: It's and I thought this was a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago in Atlanta when when Zeke was out, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm begging Dez Bryant to make a play. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: begging Cole Beasley to make a play. You know, I
Speaker 1: just you know, maybe, you know, I want to believe
Speaker 1: in my heart that they're a good enough football team
Speaker 1: to make plays. But maybe they're not. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: they're not. Maybe if they lose this game this week,
Speaker 1: and then it's becomes Okay, now let's do the autopsy.
Speaker 1: What what is the real problem here? Is it? Is
Speaker 1: it just Ezekiel Elliott? Is it just a quarterback? Is
Speaker 1: it the wide receivers? Is it the lack of linebackers?
Speaker 1: It's the lack of overall depth in the team. You
Speaker 1: know you need now you need to do the autopsy. Then, yeah,
Speaker 1: well you brought up personnel and Mickey is joining us.
Speaker 1: You just got back from his fan hit on one
Speaker 1: oh five three. Look who's here? Look who's here? He's ready,
Speaker 1: gum on our shoe, He's back. Welcome Mick best Gum
Speaker 1: you've ever had, Oh man, that gum out Mickey, you
Speaker 1: know that. Oh jeez, you guys. No one can pay
Speaker 1: for this kind of thing. I know, holiday spirit, the
Speaker 1: holiday spirit. Well, Mick, you're joining us. You know, we
Speaker 1: just got into everything and we're talking about how desperately
Speaker 1: this football team needs to this to win this game tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but they need to win five more games tomorrow, five
Speaker 1: more Just can you just wrap them? We try to
Speaker 1: get him four. We try to get him four is
Speaker 1: what we try to do him right now. I try
Speaker 1: to get him to nine and five when Zeke comes
Speaker 1: back for Santa going down the chimney for Christmas Eve. Oh,
Speaker 1: I was talking about the whole rest of the way.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I would be great. Yeah, you might need
Speaker 1: to win eleven. This is what's how crazy this is,
Speaker 1: you know, with the way that the the NFC is.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got some teams that are going to
Speaker 1: be kind of sitting there and you don't hold tiebreakers
Speaker 1: on many of them. But you don't, so you got
Speaker 1: to make sure you're once some of these teams are
Speaker 1: going to start playing each other. So yeah, in the divisions, yeah,
Speaker 1: Carolina and the Saints South. Yeah, and then Atlanta will
Speaker 1: play the Saints and then you're gonna get Seattle, and
Speaker 1: I think the Rams play one more time. So you
Speaker 1: need somebody to start losing other than you. There's games
Speaker 1: that have to be lost. But yeah, you need to
Speaker 1: take care of yourself. Well, they are taking care of
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit with injury wise. You know, you're
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing some guys that have been out
Speaker 1: for a few weeks back. So, Mick, who do you
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys fans can expect to see back out
Speaker 1: there tomorrow? I think you'll see Tyrn Smith. Yay, I
Speaker 1: agree with whoa round of applause. You know I was
Speaker 1: I was curious on the Anthony Hitchins thing because it
Speaker 1: looked like he was out there doing stuff yesterday, and
Speaker 1: I think they came back later in the day and
Speaker 1: said that that they listed him wrong. If I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: he was supposed to be listed limited. Well, how come
Speaker 1: somebody and tell me that there was an email that
Speaker 1: went out? I think you missed it. Get the email.
Speaker 1: Maybe they didn't send it to me. Make sure Mickey
Speaker 1: knows yes, goes out to Mick. My feelings are her
Speaker 1: Scotch Goldnick was at Happy hour that day. Okay, he
Speaker 1: was limited. Yeah, they did take part of practice, yes, Okay,
Speaker 1: So all those guys that were critical, like Lelee Collins,
Speaker 1: they were all limited, right, right, because San Diego had
Speaker 1: seven guys limited. Oh. I think this had a lot
Speaker 1: to do with the game on Thursday. I think the
Speaker 1: Thursday game is kind of a joke as far as
Speaker 1: the way the injury report goes. Yeah. Yeah, it's not fair.
Speaker 1: It's not really it's not a very fair assessment of
Speaker 1: really what the situation is. I think you're absolutely right, Smith.
Speaker 1: I think Anthy Hitchins is one of those guys we'll
Speaker 1: have to see. I mean, I think Anthony Hitchins is
Speaker 1: gonna give it a go, but we'll see how long
Speaker 1: he can go. That that's gonna be. That's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's nice to have him out there,
Speaker 1: but how long can he go? Yeah, that's the big hope.
Speaker 1: I think Smith's gonna be fine. I'll tell you another
Speaker 1: one I think you should be excited about was Dan Bailey.
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey's gonna kick for you in this football game
Speaker 1: all the way, all the way. I even when we
Speaker 1: do our inactives, I'm gonna put I'm gonna put Mike
Speaker 1: Nugit out on the inactor, you know. He told me
Speaker 1: after the game. I asked him, is it harder to
Speaker 1: kick off with the injury than it is kicking field goals?
Speaker 1: He said, I want to be able to do everything
Speaker 1: when I come back. Yeah, But I but didn't say
Speaker 1: it's harder. He definitely told me. Well, he said, you
Speaker 1: do have to maybe compromise. Somebody told you something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually talked to somebody, you know. But do you
Speaker 1: think he's ready to do everything? Yeah? I think Dan
Speaker 1: Billy's gonna be a kicker. Wow, I do. It depends
Speaker 1: on what they allow him to do, though, but kick
Speaker 1: field goals and all that. Yeah, I'm calling him in.
Speaker 1: I mean I think he'll I think he's got a
Speaker 1: good chance to kick field goals. I'm wondering about the kickoffs.
Speaker 1: I just call it a gut And you bring up
Speaker 1: a good point about Anthony Hitchins, especially if he's back.
Speaker 1: How will they decide those plays? What do you mean
Speaker 1: how will they split it up? There? They have no choice. Well,
Speaker 1: he's got to play, he's got to play. Well, that's
Speaker 1: where they're at right now. I mean, there's no there's
Speaker 1: no like if there was somebody behind him, I don't
Speaker 1: know if Anthony Hitchins would play. Yeah, but there's really
Speaker 1: nobody they have to go with this to taste point though,
Speaker 1: what's the contingency if if he can't, if he's limited
Speaker 1: or you know, they does fall. Yeah, Smith's gonna start.
Speaker 1: I believe. I believe Smith's gonna start instead of Durant,
Speaker 1: and so Durant would be your backup guy. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but that's that's why that's why
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchins has to go, has to give it a
Speaker 1: Oh he really does he has. I mean they if
Speaker 1: they if they were capable at that spot. You know what,
Speaker 1: what you're not liking me right now? Making I just
Speaker 1: feel it. I just wish that Damien Wilson had the um,
Speaker 1: the ability to play without Sean Lee, the ability to
Speaker 1: play the middle like he's he's the guy that's I think,
Speaker 1: big enough, fast enough, strong enough. I brought that up
Speaker 1: last week. Why he doesn't. I don't think he sees
Speaker 1: things the way he needs to see. And I was looking.
Speaker 1: I was looking for the word, not the ability, the
Speaker 1: the If you say the word mental capability, you think
Speaker 1: people are saying he's dumb. It's not the case. That's
Speaker 1: because like recognition, yeah, just instincts. His instincts in the
Speaker 1: middle are I would think are slower. He doesn't see
Speaker 1: things quickly. When you put him in a Sam linebacker situation,
Speaker 1: it's take on, get rid and run. Yeah, good, that's
Speaker 1: what he could do. In the middle. He has to
Speaker 1: be able not He's got to read through the center,
Speaker 1: through the guard, and when you when you ask him
Speaker 1: to read a guy, it's not as good. He's physical
Speaker 1: enough to take the guy and get rid and then run.
Speaker 1: That's what he can. That's why they can claim at
Speaker 1: will too, because he has to. He has the ability
Speaker 1: to run. But in the middle, in the middle, excuse me,
Speaker 1: he he doesn't see it well and that and you're
Speaker 1: exactly right. He just does not read the way the
Speaker 1: way blocks are. Now, that happened in the trap that
Speaker 1: they had for seventy one yards. Even Anthony Hitchins read
Speaker 1: it the wrong way. He read he didn't see the
Speaker 1: puller and he adjusted and then that's how that helps.
Speaker 1: He got on him. He got blocked, got blocked in
Speaker 1: and Jalen Smith takes the wrong gap. Yeah, they had
Speaker 1: a lot of problems on that play not make Mickey happy.
Speaker 1: They should have adjusted. I need more adjustments. Quick draw
Speaker 1: fly over there, Like I told you, just give him
Speaker 1: all Tommy Johns. I think that the frustrating part, probably
Speaker 1: to this entire family basis this next man up theory.
Speaker 1: And you want, you want Damian Wilson to be that
Speaker 1: guy that can go in and step in there and
Speaker 1: do that. But Mickey's right, some people it's just different.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example of next man up theory
Speaker 1: that actually worked. I didn't think that Byron Bell was terrible,
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was yeah, I mean acceptible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and but you know they had to give him help,
Speaker 1: you know, but it wasn't all every single down, but
Speaker 1: they gave him help, you know. So to me, if
Speaker 1: they would have started him and that I'd been interested
Speaker 1: to see, it's a hindstight call. It had been interesting
Speaker 1: to see if they'd started him in the Atlantic game
Speaker 1: and he gave up a couple of sacks, So that
Speaker 1: probably didn't you know, that probably a bad example, but
Speaker 1: you know, he's been a next man up kind of
Speaker 1: a guy. Still too much pressure on Dak, but but
Speaker 1: the first half was better. I mean, you really didn't
Speaker 1: notice Byron Beell the whole first half, which is exacting
Speaker 1: when they when it turns into they half to throw
Speaker 1: the seat. When when when the quarterback is great is
Speaker 1: when everything is going underneath, when it's the waggles, the boots,
Speaker 1: you know, throwing the ball, not having to make rip
Speaker 1: throws down the middle of the field of Dez Brian
Speaker 1: as he's lunging with a man on his hip. You know,
Speaker 1: it's those throws that he can make with with Beasley open,
Speaker 1: with Witten open, with Brian on the curl. You know,
Speaker 1: things like those are good throws for him. But man,
Speaker 1: when you're asking to make rip throws and pressure, that's
Speaker 1: a little bit different. That's where the big difference between
Speaker 1: him and a guy like Romo is Romo will stand
Speaker 1: there and make that rip throw, you know, and have
Speaker 1: complete confidence in it where and he'll be accurate with it.
Speaker 1: So that's a difference. Yeah, And how much of that
Speaker 1: has experienced I think a lot of his ability really Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Dak Prescott needs to have a play action game.
Speaker 1: He's a he's a he's he's everything. He's he's such
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback and he learns. He's learned how to
Speaker 1: throw the ball well on the move. I think he
Speaker 1: needs the ability to play on the moves. Yeah, team
Speaker 1: teams have figured out. They say, oh, let's make him
Speaker 1: throw from the pocket. Let's make him be a pocket quarterback.
Speaker 1: And you know he'll have But when he misses, when
Speaker 1: he misses a throw, like you said, well he climbs
Speaker 1: to the left and missus Beasley, then then you're like, whoa,
Speaker 1: something's up there, because that's a throw he makes all
Speaker 1: the time. You're hearing footsteps at that point. Nah, noah.
Speaker 1: People say, oh, middle clock, middle clock, But you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's how he plays. He plays, He
Speaker 1: plays on the move. He throwing too. I mean Jim
Speaker 1: schwartz Sett he's defensive coordinator. He said, I've never seen
Speaker 1: May throw the ball as well on the move as
Speaker 1: this guy. And he's got and he and he watched
Speaker 1: practice every day of his guy. You know, so when
Speaker 1: when you don't have that capability to be successful doing
Speaker 1: it during a game, you're gonna have some bad plays,
Speaker 1: gonna have to play with a moving pocket. You know what,
Speaker 1: did they run the sprint one time? Though? Did you
Speaker 1: notice they ran the sprint in the game, they sprinted
Speaker 1: the pocket going left, he hit I think he hit
Speaker 1: Beasley on the flat for four or five yards. Nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with that. That's just like a good little run
Speaker 1: right there. That's handing the ball to ezek Yellott for
Speaker 1: five yards, right, you know that that's kind of maybe.
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that Lenahan does. You talk
Speaker 1: about adjustments. Lenihan plays to his strength, he really really does.
Speaker 1: He tries to get him in positions where he can
Speaker 1: make plays on the move. But you know, when it
Speaker 1: doesn't work, it doesn't work. Just protect him. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was better. He still got sacked four times in
Speaker 1: the game though, better, Yeah, four times. You know, Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers has been sacked this year twelve believe, Yeah, in
Speaker 1: ten games. Yeah, and their offensive line. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: why Philip Rivers doesn't get sacked, because he's willing to
Speaker 1: stand there and take a hit. He does, he will
Speaker 1: get rid of the football. He is not He is
Speaker 1: not afraid to throw the ball into the fine. No. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying though, if you watch him play, if
Speaker 1: you watch that, you're right. It's been sacked twelve times
Speaker 1: in two games. Yeah, I went way down the rabbit
Speaker 1: hole for this column I'm doing today. I looked up
Speaker 1: how many times Romo was sacked four more times in
Speaker 1: his career in a game. Happened twenty times out of
Speaker 1: how many games lots ninety something, yeah, something like that
Speaker 1: team went seven and thirteen when that happened, and they
Speaker 1: only put up fourteen points a game. I mean, no matter,
Speaker 1: and Romo is twenty times he got sacked four more times. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: I wonder what error that was. Was it a certain
Speaker 1: era of I said the word era wrong era? Is
Speaker 1: it certain? Oh? Yeah, it was only a small handful
Speaker 1: of the first couple of years, those lean years where
Speaker 1: they were rebuilding. The latter was eight and eight years
Speaker 1: and more often. Yeah. Yeah, and he had to, you know,
Speaker 1: he had to put the team on his back. But
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no matter who your quarterback is, I'm
Speaker 1: not comparing the two. Romo is is Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: caliber type guy. Obviously you're not going to score a
Speaker 1: lot of points when your quarterbacks under siege like that.
Speaker 1: So how many times? Twenty games? Twenty games regular and
Speaker 1: he probably played about a one hundred and twenty games.
Speaker 1: I'm what was his career record? I mean, it's something.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good, pretty good. Yeah, but I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I didn't mean to take us down. No, no no,
Speaker 1: not saying I mean any quarterback when when you're under
Speaker 1: that type of pressure, your offense is gonna have a
Speaker 1: hard time sustaining and scoring points. And again, fourteen points
Speaker 1: a game in those games where he's you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of seven points, six points. One of them was
Speaker 1: the fifty one forty eight Denver game, though that's an outlier,
Speaker 1: probably the best game he ever played. But anyway, it's good. Now,
Speaker 1: should fans be concerned about Lyle Collins being on that
Speaker 1: practice report that says limited back, Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: ourness of the week. Yeah, it's just you know, man,
Speaker 1: something something always with these players. Man, it's weird. Something
Speaker 1: will pop up in the morning. We've seen it with
Speaker 1: with Tyren Smith. You know, all of a sudden he's
Speaker 1: due to practice and he woke up and then oh wait,
Speaker 1: back tightness a little bit. And you know they're always
Speaker 1: going to be very cautious about that, you know. And
Speaker 1: I look at this with their ability to practice with
Speaker 1: like I said, they're not going to put guys in
Speaker 1: the field that are hurt they're not. They never would.
Speaker 1: These trainers do a great job with that, and the
Speaker 1: doctors do a great job with that. But you know,
Speaker 1: obviously they're they're very you know, they have to be cautious.
Speaker 1: If if he can't go, if something happens, well, then
Speaker 1: Byron Bell is going to be your right tackle. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be Chas Green's be Byron Bell
Speaker 1: playing over there. He's your new swing guy against Yeah,
Speaker 1: against Joey Bosa and and Ingram. We'll be up. Guys. Well,
Speaker 1: let's take our first break. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: get to those inactives because we're gonna have to really
Speaker 1: look at this week again. Join us when we come

Speaker 1: I think it was ninety Oh you mean three? Then
Speaker 1: he goes to seniors and then you go to the seniors. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty five years. I don't think Darren Woodson was on
Speaker 1: that list. Yeah. How did Darren Woodson not make the
Speaker 1: twenty seven He didn't because he made it last year.
Speaker 1: Simeon Rice, who we were talking about the other day,
Speaker 1: of course, with Marinelli and then Brian Urlacker former Lobo.
Speaker 1: Great might be a really good class this year, by
Speaker 1: the way, I mean Lynch made it. Yep, John Lynch,
Speaker 1: ray Lewis, Randy Moss, Steve Atwater is still in that
Speaker 1: safety discussion. Yeah, I think he's about up too, Tony Boselli,
Speaker 1: Randy Barber. See, they're starting to let guys in it
Speaker 1: didn't have really really long careers. Yeah, that a good
Speaker 1: or bad thing? That well, that's for a guy like
Speaker 1: Tony Boselli. It's good. I mean guys that you know
Speaker 1: that what Arrol Davis didn't have a very long career. Well,
Speaker 1: then Cliff Harris needs to be coming up in the seniors.
Speaker 1: Seniors the problem real quick, Tay and that whole thing,
Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong Mickey about this. Though,
Speaker 1: there's so many players that they forgot in the seniors.
Speaker 1: Committee there have the Seniors Committee are having to go
Speaker 1: back and get guys that the initially were forgotten and
Speaker 1: you're only picking two a year, and you're picking two
Speaker 1: a year and you can't there's not enough time. I
Speaker 1: mean guys. Rick Goslin's done a great job with a
Speaker 1: guy like Rayfield, right, and Bob Hayes and people like that,
Speaker 1: but there's not enough. You don't have five spots, you
Speaker 1: only have two. And now all of a sudden, everybody
Speaker 1: I had a we had a mailbag question this morning,
Speaker 1: asked us about Drew Pearson, and he well, he's has
Speaker 1: better numbers than Lynn Swan. But the problem is, though
Speaker 1: there's so many other players for those spots, for those
Speaker 1: two spots, that the that the Seniors Committee is trying
Speaker 1: to go back and get and seeing what the Senior
Speaker 1: Committee is trying to do is correct or wrong they
Speaker 1: are and they only get two right, and they're trying
Speaker 1: to be really diligent about picking two who are gonna
Speaker 1: make it right, because the last thing you want to
Speaker 1: do is bring the guy back and and he doesn't
Speaker 1: make it, and he'll never make it, seems no. My
Speaker 1: thought is, if if there's one guy, I would love
Speaker 1: to see get on it. And I know I've always
Speaker 1: talked about various cowboy guys, but I'd love to see
Speaker 1: Gil Brandt get the opportunity to be in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. Who's just a contributor this year? Who is it?
Speaker 1: That's a good question. The Bartolow was last year and
Speaker 1: with Cherry who was It was Jerry and the Barlow
Speaker 1: last year? Yes, the two it was Taboo. No, no,
Speaker 1: Tagloo's not in the Hall's not in yet. He's not in.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But they had it. Listen, Yeah, let
Speaker 1: me look, but yeah, is it it's got to be
Speaker 1: an owner. It's not Pat Boland, is it? No? I
Speaker 1: read it, and I'm sorry I was okay with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but see that's what I'm saying though. The I wish
Speaker 1: that a guy like Gil Brandt, who was such a
Speaker 1: huge part of scouting and what they did, you know,
Speaker 1: Ron Wolf being in, Bilpoleon being in, you know, they're
Speaker 1: starting to get like general managers. I'd like to see
Speaker 1: a scout getting there with Gil brand Don Corriel, the
Speaker 1: old coach from the Chargers and Saint Louis, Saint Louis
Speaker 1: cart Cardinals. Yeah, yeah, well, Gil Brant is a great
Speaker 1: choice Brannan, I think because if you look at the
Speaker 1: way that he revolutionized the way that teams found players.
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember one time I was listening to
Speaker 1: Mickey on the Legend Show, and who are you talking to?
Speaker 1: Was at Cliff Harris talking about how they found him
Speaker 1: in that random Oh yeah, I mean, and he goes, guy,
Speaker 1: Gil Brant just found me. I mean he watch a
Speaker 1: top Baptist. Yeah. Absolutely. People didn't even know that school
Speaker 1: was there, No, but Gil did. Yeah. Yeah. And the
Speaker 1: way that he worked with IMG, the way that they discovered, Okay,
Speaker 1: we can plug in all these numbers, figure out certain
Speaker 1: traits that will correlate to the NFL. That's innovation and
Speaker 1: that's one that's a big reason Jerry's in because he
Speaker 1: helped change the landscape and so from Gill's domain, that's
Speaker 1: what he did. Yeah, Gil Gil was one of those guys.
Speaker 1: I always love the story about Gil Brant. He had
Speaker 1: a player meet him at an airport and he timed
Speaker 1: him in a forty yard dash in a terminal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and marked off forty yards in a terminal and had
Speaker 1: the guy run and then got the time and went
Speaker 1: back home. That's an awesome story. Yeah, that's what these
Speaker 1: guys did. That's this our old You look at his
Speaker 1: career record when he was with the Cowboys and what
Speaker 1: that team. The twenty nine years he was here, there's
Speaker 1: a legendary you know, teams. He's got Hall of Fame players,
Speaker 1: he's got a Hall of Fame coach. You know, he
Speaker 1: deserves just as much recognition as everybody else. It's already
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it was the three of them, right, absolutely, text,
Speaker 1: Tom and Yeah, and a lot of great players. Hill,
Speaker 1: a lot of great players, and they had a lot
Speaker 1: to do with the Cowboys. The story I'd love from
Speaker 1: him all the time is when he told me about
Speaker 1: the first couple of drafts he went to. And they
Speaker 1: would have it hide players at a hotel somewhere, and
Speaker 1: they would get one of those not a ballroom, one
Speaker 1: of those big meeting rooms, right and uh he said,
Speaker 1: everybody would walk in with a whole bunch of magazines.
Speaker 1: They would have their Street Smith college football previews and
Speaker 1: and a bag full of quarters. Yeah, and so they
Speaker 1: would conduct the draft. No one think they're no one
Speaker 1: in there, you know, they just doing the draft. And
Speaker 1: then when you drafted the guy, you went out to
Speaker 1: the pay phone in the lobby and the quarters in
Speaker 1: called the guy. Can you believe that? Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: my how times? And the drafts a little bigger now
Speaker 1: than he's just a tad uh and and and the
Speaker 1: scouting wasn't like I mean, they drafted end of November December. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: catch season take. I tell a real quick, real quick.
Speaker 1: When I was in Green Bay, we had a guy
Speaker 1: named Dave Hanner, Dave Hog Hanner. He was from Arkansas.
Speaker 1: He coached with coach Lombardi at the with the Packers,
Speaker 1: and they were Mickey was talking about the November December
Speaker 1: draft and they had to go get on the train
Speaker 1: to go do the West Coast swing. They were playing
Speaker 1: the Rams and the forty nine ers on the West Coast,
Speaker 1: so they had to leave to get them on the
Speaker 1: train to go out west. And they were having the
Speaker 1: draft and Hog was running the draft for the you know,
Speaker 1: for the Lombardi Packers, and he's, man, I gotta get
Speaker 1: on this train. He gave the administrative assistance three names
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, ladies, if any one of the
Speaker 1: if any one of these guys, are still left drafting
Speaker 1: for us. I got to catch this train, so that's
Speaker 1: I need. The day of the draft, you would this
Speaker 1: is they've been the agonize about the seventh you know,
Speaker 1: mister irrelevant. They agonize about that one, and here they are.
Speaker 1: Dave's like, hey, listen, ladies, pick pick one of these
Speaker 1: three guys. I gotta catch this track. I gotta go.
Speaker 1: People were more serious about their fantasy drafts now than that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, wow. Nineteen seventy nine. I rob probably heard
Speaker 1: this story before, but Kelln Winslow is going to be
Speaker 1: a first round draft choice. Missouri right, Missouri Missouri Tiger.
Speaker 1: So I'm there, I'm covering, you know, the team and
Speaker 1: uh he's He's like, yeah, you guys, come on over
Speaker 1: to my apartment, you know, and we'll wait for the
Speaker 1: phone call. Yeah. Right, So we get over to his apartment.
Speaker 1: He's got this long look on his face. He goes, well,
Speaker 1: we got a problem. We goes what's that? He goes, well,
Speaker 1: you know, this is kind of close to the end
Speaker 1: of the school year and we started cutting off our
Speaker 1: utilities and my phone doesn't work. Oh oh no, And
Speaker 1: he's like, how am I going to find out? They
Speaker 1: can't call me, and and so we were like, well,
Speaker 1: we ended up going over to pass the hat. No,
Speaker 1: we went over to the Missourian newsroom. So I was
Speaker 1: working for the Tribune. The guys from the Missouri we
Speaker 1: went into my newsroom four years ago. So anyway, we
Speaker 1: go over to the newsroom and we monitored the draft
Speaker 1: on the ap wire machine where it would just print
Speaker 1: it out, yeah, and it would go first, first pick,
Speaker 1: and then next to who picked next, and you could
Speaker 1: see it was going like nine ten and he hadn't
Speaker 1: been picked yet, and his face is just you know,
Speaker 1: it's like getting embarrassing, right because they thought he'd be
Speaker 1: a top ten pick. And then at eleven San Diego
Speaker 1: Chargers select Kelln Winslow and he was like, but that's
Speaker 1: how that's how he found out. So he just ripped
Speaker 1: it off, ripped it off. You know, we're watching it
Speaker 1: as it's going, as it prints out, and that's how
Speaker 1: he found out he was drafted. And he was really
Speaker 1: cool inside the newsroom, like you know, okay, and he
Speaker 1: did his interview and then those guys went to their
Speaker 1: desks to start writing and I had to leave and
Speaker 1: I walked out with him. I got outside, and he
Speaker 1: let out the loudest scream ever, the loudest scream because
Speaker 1: he knew he was going to Don Correll's offense. Jackie
Speaker 1: Smith a corel, corel. I wanted to tight end that
Speaker 1: would line up in the slot and go down the field.
Speaker 1: Hey what seventy nine that's when ESPN started, so they
Speaker 1: hadn't started the draft yet. So yeah, watch it on
Speaker 1: TV that they're getting it on the ap wires. Pretty
Speaker 1: cool too, can you even imagine crazy? Well, before we
Speaker 1: get to our final breaking here, storry time here, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're all filling nostalgic. Yeah, I get it before we
Speaker 1: get to our final break here, because yes, we will
Speaker 1: have to end a little bit early today at ten
Speaker 1: twenty is. But let's get too inactives, or what we
Speaker 1: think will be the inactives as of right now. Of course,
Speaker 1: I think you already started at Brian with number two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do you want to go through mine? Well? Two? Oh,
Speaker 1: got got him? Go ahead at two fifty, go ahead,
Speaker 1: eighty nine, eighty nine is good. Now we think it's
Speaker 1: going to be trying to think because you got five
Speaker 1: back out there. Twenty again, I'd go twenty. That's a
Speaker 1: good name for meny. Okay, so there's four, it's the
Speaker 1: three more and it's not gonna be barn Bell. You
Speaker 1: need him at about sixty eight. Ross Ross would be
Speaker 1: one I keep forgetting about him. Really here he is,
Speaker 1: really here. Have we seen him? He's really he practices. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: so you got five, throw me two more brand how
Speaker 1: about seventy nine? Okay's green? Oh Mickey doesn't like they
Speaker 1: suck and win through his teeth right now? To two
Speaker 1: tackles on the injury report, I'm going with seventy nine.
Speaker 1: What about Ben Wickery? And that's what I would say,
Speaker 1: my guy, Yeah, ben wickery Ery, because that gets fifty
Speaker 1: three up? Did fifty three not play in the game
Speaker 1: the other day? Did I see that on the arm Lillard?
Speaker 1: Did I see that on the on the he was
Speaker 1: listed as did not play? He was active though, You
Speaker 1: sure I look it up. You know it's on there.
Speaker 1: He That's what I'm saying, Oh you got the Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't remember seeing him. That's why I kind of
Speaker 1: was wondering he was the only guy up for the
Speaker 1: game who didn't play. For dam he's another one instead
Speaker 1: of seventy nine? Maybe maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, but with Hitchens,
Speaker 1: I think you need all the linebackers up you can,
Speaker 1: even if he's ready to go, Ben Wickery makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense, especially since you got he's ready to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go heavy at linebacker this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: every every healthy guy you got. Yeah, and you're okay
Speaker 1: with Chads screen Mickey's not. But I understand that too.
Speaker 1: I just worry about the injury part of it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: eighty five. What about eighty five? They had no Brown
Speaker 1: up last week, six receivers. It seems like they're committed
Speaker 1: to having him active on special teams, involved in the
Speaker 1: in the offense. So I mean, maybe you do go
Speaker 1: with Jazz inactive and if you have to go emergency
Speaker 1: at tackle, then you do something else and maybe move
Speaker 1: somebody from you know, So no Zach Martin in an
Speaker 1: emergency situation. No Brown played nine offensive plays, ten special teams. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh March Lillard they had he had says he played. Sure,
Speaker 1: I got the right one here. Sosie played five specials. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: Sosie played five. Well then they made a mistake. No,
Speaker 1: on this they did snap count. Yeah, not a mistake,
Speaker 1: not a mistake. And then Ben Rickery special teams, only
Speaker 1: fourteen special teams. That's it enough. So they're going to
Speaker 1: sacrifice him for the extra linebackers. What they're gonna do?
Speaker 1: Yeah makes sense? Yeah yeah, so yeah with me, that
Speaker 1: would be two twenty twenty three, fifty sixty eight, seventy
Speaker 1: nine eighty nine. People hate that when I do the
Speaker 1: number bits. Okay, cook it up. There's a roster on website.
Speaker 1: It's called Dallas Cowboys dot com. Yeah, all right, well,

Speaker 1: out on the outside on the grill. Oh could you
Speaker 1: do that with Papa John's pizza if it wasn't cooked already? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Ask you this though, the grilled pizza. Do you put
Speaker 1: it on foil or do you put it out on
Speaker 1: the grill? Put it on the grill? Okay, so you
Speaker 1: get the grill marks, get the grill marks on it.
Speaker 1: You just kind of flip it over the dough cook
Speaker 1: on a stone. I would just put it right on
Speaker 1: the on the grid. Risky, Brian, geez, I just kind
Speaker 1: of worried about it kind of sticking. Now it doesn't
Speaker 1: You put enough oil oil on the oil grill and
Speaker 1: then just get the bottom and then you flip it,
Speaker 1: put the ingredients on the part that you kind of
Speaker 1: chirered a little bit right, and then put it on there.
Speaker 1: And while the rest of the dough cooks, the pizza cooks,
Speaker 1: and it pretty darn good about it. You're on your
Speaker 1: third bottle of wine. And that happened. Yes, absolutely, saloon.
Speaker 1: I was in charge of what was mine. We all
Speaker 1: had we all had a station. Oh, I know what
Speaker 1: it was. I was in charge of. So this guy
Speaker 1: owns the sausage company. Yeah, and so he had he
Speaker 1: had Saker of Chicago. He had the sauce cooked like
Speaker 1: a like a lasagna. It was all sausage and he
Speaker 1: just baked it, baked it, and so somebody had to
Speaker 1: somebody had to like crumble it up. That was my job.
Speaker 1: And I looked down, like, go, what are you talking about.
Speaker 1: That's hot. He goes, Oh, I got some plastic gloves
Speaker 1: for you. Well though, those are the little goofy gloves
Speaker 1: that people wear to, you know, go to the doctor. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, that's gonna be hot. I'm not doing

Speaker 1: I was thinking of the movie Ferris Bueller. The sausage
Speaker 1: maker of SA Yeah, that's I think it was a yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, Actually that was here Rob's Twitter poll. Oh
Speaker 1: speaking of Thanksgiving? Yes, a happy pole today? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: happy Thanksgiving. And this might be an unfair pole because
Speaker 1: I know what I voted for nineteen seventy four best
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game, Brian votes it. I loved it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it was great seven years before Rob, So, I
Speaker 1: don't know is that fair for the you know did
Speaker 1: on Twitter? Did he get seven percent? It got less
Speaker 1: than seven percent? Here's the other three? Okay, well I
Speaker 1: was part of it. Okay. Nine was at that game
Speaker 1: ninety four. Jason Garrett's big cotcha l that day. Jason
Speaker 1: Garrett's alter a big l. There's no nothing good about
Speaker 1: that game. Nothing beating those Packers. Yeah nothing. Oh six
Speaker 1: Romo's first Thanksgiving as a starter. Five TDS Tampa Bay Rights.
Speaker 1: They've mauled him that day. That was a butt kicking.
Speaker 1: Last year, Dak and Zeke first Thanksgiving together, they balled out.
Speaker 1: I threw that one in there for the younger crowd.
Speaker 1: Good catch by Terrence Williams. Remember the corner gott Yes,
Speaker 1: so drag swag get tiny there Yeah, anybody got to vote.
Speaker 1: I think I'd vote for coach Garrett. Coach Garrett, you know,
Speaker 1: did you say it? Well, I've watched a lot of highlights.
Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of highlights. Is that well because
Speaker 1: of the fact that he took the advice from Brill Garrett,
Speaker 1: his wife the night before when she said just throw
Speaker 1: it up to Alvin Harper. Must Terrell Buckley play that? Yep?
Speaker 1: She knew the corners pretty well for the Packers, he did.
Speaker 1: And I think it was awesome get the red ball
Speaker 1: to win on Thanksgiving Day, glorious nic can. I I
Speaker 1: got writings for losses. Some of the losses Minnesota, the
Speaker 1: Great Game Minnesota. Uh, don't put leon to Darren Nelson one.
Speaker 1: I don't, no, no, no, Minnesota. I was thinking of
Speaker 1: Randy Moss. Oh yeah that was. And then and then
Speaker 1: there's a sleep game ninety three with the ice storm. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't don't do that. And then and then the
Speaker 1: other one that I told Rob about was the eighty
Speaker 1: nine one against Philly that turned into the Bounty Bowl.
Speaker 1: Oh they went where they went after his in days
Speaker 1: and supposedly they were going out eight nothing says Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: and family, people's heads and Micky describe a setting for
Speaker 1: me real quick. Nicky described Johnson comes to the podium.
Speaker 1: Are you guys all crowded around? Are you? What are you?
Speaker 1: What are you doing there? Are you like? Because he
Speaker 1: comes up and it's like he just makes a state
Speaker 1: because there was an interview and then he walks off
Speaker 1: at Texas Stadium and no, he got up and he
Speaker 1: talked the whole time and he left. He came back
Speaker 1: and then somebody asked him, did you say anything to
Speaker 1: Buddy Ryan after the game. He goes, I would have,
Speaker 1: but he took his big fat dot dot awesome in
Speaker 1: there before I could say anything. Yeah, I wish Jason
Speaker 1: would say something like that, just right, just Jimmy a podium.
Speaker 1: What Jimmy was doing is he was deflecting the fact
Speaker 1: that they got beat like twenty seven to nothing of
Speaker 1: whatever score was, because they were bad. That yeah, smart.
Speaker 1: What do you vote for a Rob? I would say
Speaker 1: Tony Romo's because that was I think that was my
Speaker 1: first year on the road trips and covering full time,
Speaker 1: and it was Romo mania ro momentum. He was dating
Speaker 1: Carry Underwood. It was just all happy, fun time. Five
Speaker 1: touchdowns and that wins the poll fifty six percent. Tony Romo.
Speaker 1: It wasn't coach Garrett. He got fourteen percent of the vote.
Speaker 1: I guess I should have voted. He would have got
Speaker 1: So what did what did my seventy four team get
Speaker 1: four percent? That's because people's I went to the game
Speaker 1: with my grandmother. Absolutely, I was there. I mean that
Speaker 1: that might be the most famous one replacing game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but about the snow game, even though we lost, to
Speaker 1: get right about the most memorable one. I felt bad
Speaker 1: for Leon that I didn't put it in there was.
Speaker 1: That was a weird day too. Remember that I got
Speaker 1: on I got on one. I guess it was one
Speaker 1: fourteen got the stadium was still one. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: had to get my tires in the ruts to get
Speaker 1: there because they didn't know. They didn't that snow plows
Speaker 1: couldn't get out. Everything was iced over, and so I'm
Speaker 1: in the ruts going towards Texas Stadium might get there.
Speaker 1: They had the field covered with tarp, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: a tarp like a baseball tar, like a big long thing.
Speaker 1: It was these little ten yards strip strips that were
Speaker 1: going horizontally across the field, right, So first problem was
Speaker 1: they had nothing. The sleet was so high on the field,
Speaker 1: they didn't have anything to get it off. So they
Speaker 1: found some buddy who would opened his machine store or whatever,
Speaker 1: and they got these little tractors and brought them over
Speaker 1: and they kind of started moving the stuff off. But
Speaker 1: then when they got it off, the tarp froze onto
Speaker 1: the field and they have to start ripping it off. Feld. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so they started ripping it off in strips to
Speaker 1: get it Can Bob being disingenuous? Hey, no, I think
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Can Dak get five touchdowns tomorrow? Wow? How
Speaker 1: about two? Five? Because Tony Romo got five touchdowns, He
Speaker 1: did five touchdowns combined rushing passing. I'm gonna take that
Speaker 1: dicky approach, though. I think they're gonna have to score
Speaker 1: twenty four points at least at least at least Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that because the Chargers are one of those
Speaker 1: teams that, yeah, they had the big outburst last week,
Speaker 1: but they got two, they got to pick six in
Speaker 1: a fumble return for a touchdown, They got fourteen off
Speaker 1: that they got some defensive big place. Yeah, they sure did.
Speaker 1: I but traditionally they're They've been in games that their
Speaker 1: laws have been twenty four twenty one, nineteen seventeen, twenty six,
Speaker 1: twenty four, twenty they won the Giants scoring yeah, twenty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty two, they beat the Raiders seventeen sixteen. You know,
Speaker 1: they beat Denver twenty one twenty one nothing, and they
Speaker 1: lost in New England twenty one thirteen. So they don't
Speaker 1: score a lot of points. They've only had one game
Speaker 1: they've scored more than twenty seven points. I'm curious, Buffalo,
Speaker 1: I'm curious. Can they get their running game going. They've
Speaker 1: got Melvin Gordon, That's what I would work. He's only
Speaker 1: getting three point eight yards to carry this season. They're
Speaker 1: gonna try, Yeah, they're gonna try. We're gonna see, Oh
Speaker 1: well it's done in the past few games. Well, if
Speaker 1: you want, if you want, if you're kin wizzen Hunt,
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, you're watching the tape and you're going,
Speaker 1: what's my best avenue for success? They haven't proven they
Speaker 1: could stop the run consistently without Sean Lee. Why not?
Speaker 1: You know, Melvin Gordon is just as explosive as Jagai
Speaker 1: he is. You know, I mean, I've seen film things
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville game, they throw him a hand him a
Speaker 1: toss sweep. And remember Jackson was watching a couple of
Speaker 1: game was so I watched it was the New England game.
Speaker 1: Had a huge run in the New England at the
Speaker 1: eighty seven yard touchdown. Yeah, yeah, huge run in that
Speaker 1: game New England. You know that was a finish. I
Speaker 1: mean he didn't get caught from behind. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm kin Wizzen Hunt, I'm thinking, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna. I'm gonna load up and see
Speaker 1: if I can run this football. And these guys, you
Speaker 1: know the thing with their passing game. I noticed their
Speaker 1: top five receivers, only two of them are wide receivers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the other ones are running backs in a tight end
Speaker 1: they play with. Yeah, but Gates can still make plays
Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry when Hunts only caught six past sixteen passes,
Speaker 1: Henry's the guy. Yeah, Henry's the guy when when they
Speaker 1: throw the ball to him, when he has five or
Speaker 1: more receptions their offense, they win games. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: kind of there, like, well, what he's there, Zeke, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He's there, like you gotta get
Speaker 1: him involved in the game. The average is thirteen yards
Speaker 1: a catch. Yeah, so it's kind of like playing Philadelphia
Speaker 1: with the three wide receivers. Again, Gates is more on
Speaker 1: reputation now than it is ability. But the last time
Speaker 1: I think these two teams played in San Diego, I
Speaker 1: think he was nine for nine on targets and catches
Speaker 1: to Gates. Yeah, to Gates. Wow. And that's the game
Speaker 1: they had Woodhead and they ran the remember that they
Speaker 1: so real route and they couldn't cover what wood Head
Speaker 1: And that was Bruce Carter. That's Bruce Carter day. Are
Speaker 1: we gonna play some rank them? That probably created Bruce
Speaker 1: Carter is a free agent. That's that's that's true. Let's
Speaker 1: play rank them real quick before we get out of here.
Speaker 1: What are we ranking? Oh? We pick a player, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could take you could take Lawrence back. Get Lawrence
Speaker 1: bat now since did he zeroed out like zeroed out
Speaker 1: for me? Actually had five tackles? Yeah, a lot of pressures,
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He wasn't terrible. Back to Lawrence. Tell
Speaker 1: who you got Dan Bailey. Bailey, you know you're talking
Speaker 1: about these low scoring games, Bryan, and you're saying, you
Speaker 1: know it could come down to maybe a field goal. Hey,
Speaker 1: let me tell you seat think about two as well.
Speaker 1: You need touchdowns. This team is the best in the
Speaker 1: league in red zone defense. Only forty percent of the
Speaker 1: time team score touchdowns. How about this for stat They
Speaker 1: only give up one point eight yards a carry or
Speaker 1: pass inside the red zone. That's best in the league.
Speaker 1: One point eight yard. That's their average of yards given
Speaker 1: up and in the red zone. So to help you
Speaker 1: guys out to pick somebody, Oh, I got my goal. Okay,
Speaker 1: are they still dead last in run defense? They are
Speaker 1: absolutely dead last and run defense. Just throw that out
Speaker 1: for you. That's the four point nine four point nine eight.
Speaker 1: I'll take Alfred Morris. Then, yeah, why not, here you
Speaker 1: got I'll take Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott needs bounce back
Speaker 1: in this one. He really really does. He had to
Speaker 1: answer a lot of questions about plays he missed in
Speaker 1: the game. I think this is a podium where he
Speaker 1: stands up there and talks about how they were able
Speaker 1: to get some things done tomorrow. Is he eating the
Speaker 1: turkey leg post game? I'm gonna say, well, if he's right,
Speaker 1: he is, Yeah, I think yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1: I think that maybe Alfred Morris might get the turkey leg.
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll share it, maybe they'll have him on camera
Speaker 1: together point nine yards a rush four point nine eight. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's to me. Yeah, could be very well, right. I
Speaker 1: think Dallas two teams are gonna be trying to committed
Speaker 1: to run the football tomorrow. I think so and I
Speaker 1: but I try to chip away at each But I
Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott tomorrow if they can get things going.
Speaker 1: I like a bounce back game, him talking at the
Speaker 1: podium about things he did well and not things he
Speaker 1: did poorly. And before we go, Mick, what's the first
Speaker 1: play of tomorrow's game. It's gonna be hand off to
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris. Whoo out. I mean last week it was
Speaker 1: a handoff to a young money Rod. Yeah. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: Mickey's gonna get him in thirteen personnel, he's gonna just
Speaker 1: he's gonna wham it off that right side against a
Speaker 1: nine man front. Why do they do that? You're just
Speaker 1: inviting everybody to come to the line of scrimmage. Sixty
Speaker 1: year of the time they bang their head against that wall.
Speaker 1: Run first offense. Mick thro to Jason Witton last week
Speaker 1: on the first play of the game for yards. First
Speaker 1: play right, it was seven yards. It was all all
Speaker 1: curl for and then gaining another yard after that on
Speaker 1: that series, kicked a field goal. Well, thank you guys
