Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This is Mick Shots, streaming live on Dallascowboys dot Com
Speaker 3: and the official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones,
Speaker 3: Savannah Humoler, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 4: Well, three out of four ain't bad, as it is
Speaker 4: a Tuesday here in the s WBC podcast studio. It
Speaker 4: is Mick Shots, it's Bill Jones, it's Savannah Humoler, it's
Speaker 4: Mickey Spagnola, and it's not Everson Walls today.
Speaker 5: But hello, Hello, how are we doing good?
Speaker 4: Savannah's got our laptop out and we are ready to
Speaker 4: take text messages from you the cowboy fan.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 4: It's a text friendly you know what I was thinking
Speaker 4: it ought to be. Today, It's a talk Taco Tuesday,
Speaker 4: A talk oh Tuesday. Because we talked defense so much yesterday,
Speaker 4: we probably got a talk offense today.
Speaker 5: I like it. I'm still on the defense. Oh no,
Speaker 5: we got offense too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we could go back and forth. Offense has
Speaker 4: its own issues. Three out of four bad, yeah, And
Speaker 4: we had an opportunity at the end of the day
Speaker 4: yesterday after we were signed off the air, Mike McCarthy
Speaker 4: had a press conference, and then the coordinators had their
Speaker 4: own media availabilities, and so we've got some light shed
Speaker 4: on what happened on Sunday afternoon. Mickey's got his legal
Speaker 4: pad filled with notes. I'm sure that he was scribbling
Speaker 4: down Savannah as he was listening to the coordinators talk yesterday.
Speaker 6: Yes, what did they say?
Speaker 5: What did they say?
Speaker 4: Yes, tell us, give us, give us some I'll let
Speaker 4: you go through the legal pad and come up with
Speaker 4: some highlights. But I was most interested before we talk,
Speaker 4: oh Tuesday, I was most interested in hearing what dan
Speaker 4: Quinn had to say.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was how should we say.
Speaker 7: He was upset with the way this defense?
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, that's probably quote him very accurate. He So
Speaker 5: here's what I think I took from him, And it
Speaker 5: was about how in the first half basically, but it
Speaker 5: kind of carried over to fourth quarter giving up Big Place.
Speaker 7: And in the fourth quarter of the one Big.
Speaker 5: Place sixty nine yard Michael Wilson right left, but he
Speaker 5: gave left unguarded. But he gave him Aleik Hooker credit
Speaker 5: for saving the touchdown and giving him an opportunity at
Speaker 5: least maybe.
Speaker 4: Four playing that it was not Malik Hooker's fault. In fact,
Speaker 4: Malik Hooker is the one who gave him a chance
Speaker 4: to get a stop on the right drive.
Speaker 5: Which they didn't absolutely And he talked about how Hooker played,
Speaker 5: Bland played, and d law and.
Speaker 7: D law ted. Those were the three guys who played.
Speaker 4: Up to snuff run Sunday, and everybody else pretty much
Speaker 4: was less than what they usually do.
Speaker 5: So this will be the shocking stat that I came
Speaker 5: up with after listening to him about big plays. Okay, okay,
Speaker 5: So the first two games, and we're going to judge
Speaker 5: big plays run and pass plays of twenty plus yards.
Speaker 5: The first two games, they gave up three of those
Speaker 5: in that category for one hundred and fourteen yards, just three,
Speaker 5: and one of them was the sixty eight eight yarder
Speaker 5: with Zach Wilson to Gary Wilson sixty eight yard touchdown pass.
Speaker 5: So we talked yesterday that there were seven big plays
Speaker 5: by Arizona of twenty plus yards. Well, those seven plays
Speaker 5: came to two hundred and forty.
Speaker 6: Nine yards against Arizona.
Speaker 5: Against Arizona, so two hundred and forty nine of their
Speaker 5: four hundred yards came on seven plays. The other forty
Speaker 5: six plays they had came to one hundred and fifty
Speaker 5: one yards. So if you do the math on it,
Speaker 5: the seventh plays for two forty nine come to about
Speaker 5: thirty some yards of play average, and the forty six
Speaker 5: plays for one hundred and fifty one yards come to
Speaker 5: three point two yards of play. So how do you
Speaker 5: play so well on forty six plays and seven plays
Speaker 5: were disaster which basically got them beat right, And that
Speaker 5: was the difference I think in that game, seeing that
Speaker 5: they had, you know, plays of sixty nine, forty five
Speaker 5: for a touchdown, forty four for a run. I think
Speaker 5: they had a thirty in there and a couple twenties.
Speaker 5: But so what happened with this defense? And you know,
Speaker 5: sometimes they get you right. They came up with a
Speaker 5: play and out schemed you on that play. But a
Speaker 5: lot of times those big plays like that, they're mistakes,
Speaker 5: their assignment mistakes. Just like Bill pointed out on the
Speaker 5: sixty nine yard pass, there's no way you devised a
Speaker 5: defense to let that guy run across the field down
Speaker 5: the right side all by himself without a soul even there,
Speaker 5: So there was a misplay there. We talked about. Bill
Speaker 5: mentioned the forty four yarder quarterback quarterback Rod and then
Speaker 5: on that touchdown the forty five yard one, Sam Williams
Speaker 5: crashed inside, didn't hold down the edge, and they double
Speaker 5: teamed jay Ron Curse to the outside, double teamed him
Speaker 5: with both tight ends on that play that I went
Speaker 5: and watched. And then that was the one Donovan Wilson
Speaker 5: took a false step to his left and couldn't get
Speaker 5: back in time to his right.
Speaker 8: Do you think they were confused?
Speaker 6: Some of the guys were confused because when I watched,
Speaker 6: there was a Sam Williams, Jordan Lewis looked confused on
Speaker 6: a couple plays. Is that a problem as far as
Speaker 6: that inconsistency there? Do they need to tighten up on?
Speaker 6: There was having consistency?
Speaker 5: There was one play they had they were confused on
Speaker 5: lining up Parsons was to the latter shoot him to
Speaker 5: the right, his hands, Yeah, and he's going, WHOA, what
Speaker 5: do I do? What am I am? I playing defensive
Speaker 5: vendor linebacker? Right? So yeah, I think there was some
Speaker 5: of that, And and I'm going to give Arizona credit
Speaker 5: for scheming against this defense. I think that you know,
Speaker 5: they they saw some of the apparent weaknesses. And then
Speaker 5: the other thing that stood out to me is the
Speaker 5: defensive front was not keeping the offensive lineman off the linebackers.
Speaker 5: There was too many times, Vendorish. It's one thing to
Speaker 5: have one guy come on you, sometimes.
Speaker 2: There was two.
Speaker 5: You can't play defense like that.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: It's interesting just you have a certain game plan offensively
Speaker 4: and defensively as you go into a game, and I wonder,
Speaker 4: I think that when you look at the offense. I
Speaker 4: think once it was determined on Saturday that Tyron Smith
Speaker 4: as was highly unlikely to play, and Zach Martin was
Speaker 4: out and Tyler Biottish was out, and you pretty much
Speaker 4: were certain you were going with three new starters on
Speaker 4: and then a first time started this year and Tyler
Speaker 4: Smith that left guard that Mike McCarthy altered his game
Speaker 4: plan for the game. As far as what they were
Speaker 4: going to do offensively, I don't defensively, they may have
Speaker 4: wanted to do the same thing. Maybe they did, I
Speaker 4: don't know, but this was a game where with the
Speaker 4: uncertainty on the offensive line, the possibility of producing a
Speaker 4: lot of points was not going to be as great
Speaker 4: as if everybody was healthy. And the one thing you
Speaker 4: want to avoid against Arizona is the big play. And
Speaker 4: I think that but the calling card of this Cowboys
Speaker 4: defense the first two games of this year, for the
Speaker 4: last two years are their takeaways, their big playability. And
Speaker 4: I think they went in with the attitude that we're
Speaker 4: gonna we're us, We're going to do what we do defensively,
Speaker 4: and we are going to come up with big plays.
Speaker 4: And it backfired.
Speaker 5: On them, like they were hunting the plays exactly.
Speaker 4: They were aggressively seeking the big plays. And that's why
Speaker 4: I mentioned to Everson is it's become a mindset of
Speaker 4: a player when you know you're down a number of
Speaker 4: players in a game, that you're trying to do too much.
Speaker 4: You're trying to make that big play, and maybe even
Speaker 4: from a coaching standpoint, you're trying to do too much
Speaker 4: to make a big play win in this game against
Speaker 4: this particular team. If you just kept them all in
Speaker 4: front of you and made it and played it like
Speaker 4: it was going to be a close game, then you
Speaker 4: wouldn't have had the big plays sprung on you. One
Speaker 4: play in particular, the Rondelle Moore play, Mickey, which you
Speaker 4: talked about. Sam Williams was playing the right edge. He
Speaker 4: was set up as a wide nine. Drence Armstrong was
Speaker 4: wide nine to the lew left and if you look
Speaker 4: at the end zone copy, the Cowboys basically had two
Speaker 4: down linemen and Marquise Bell as your middle linebacker on
Speaker 4: that play. And that was the play where Marquise Bell
Speaker 4: got eaten up by the offensive lineman. Some will say
Speaker 4: the offensive lineman held him as well, but the numbers
Speaker 4: weren't right there by formation Arizona schemed it where Leyton
Speaker 4: vander Esch was not playing the middle, he was shaded
Speaker 4: to the left side of the formation.
Speaker 5: And the one thing also I think Quinn pointed out
Speaker 5: is they didn't have a takeaway. This team, that defense
Speaker 5: lives on takeaways, and they had what seven of them
Speaker 5: in the first two games. They were plus seven takeaway differential.
Speaker 5: So I just decided right now I was going to
Speaker 5: see the last time they played a game without a
Speaker 5: ten take away And I'm looking here from last year,
Speaker 5: and if I can go game by game, you're.
Speaker 7: Going to find that.
Speaker 5: Going to find that. I go back to Washington the
Speaker 5: fourth game of the year. They didn't have an interception,
Speaker 5: they didn't have a fumble recovery.
Speaker 4: As you're looking that up. One of the reasons that
Speaker 4: they had so many turnovers or takeaways in the first
Speaker 4: two games of this year is they were able to
Speaker 4: get up on the Giants and the Jets early in
Speaker 4: the game. Right, this game played out differently where they
Speaker 4: were down fifteen to three in the second quarter. You
Speaker 4: go back, and you go back the last couple of years,
Speaker 4: and when the Cowboys fall behind by double digits in
Speaker 4: the first half of a game, it usually doesn't bode.
Speaker 7: Well for them. Right, most teams are like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you previous year, I think it was during
Speaker 4: the I'm pretty sure it was the twenty twenty one season.
Speaker 4: All the losses they got behind by double figures in
Speaker 4: the first half of the game, and every game that
Speaker 4: they didn't do that they won.
Speaker 5: So last year all they had was one two, three,
Speaker 5: four or five six, six, six games with no interceptions
Speaker 5: and when it came to fumble recoveries, one two, three, four,
Speaker 5: five six, and that's it. Every other game there was
Speaker 5: interceptions and fumbling.
Speaker 4: What was the record last year twelve twive five.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So it's a recipe for success. Fall behind, fall behind, win.
Speaker 5: They turnover differential exactly, and then you know the other
Speaker 5: part of that is if you're getting takeaways, you're making
Speaker 5: it usually easier on your offense. Chances are you're getting
Speaker 5: better field positions. But conversely, if you're scoring points on offense,
Speaker 5: then the opposing offense has to take chances. And they
Speaker 5: never really got Arizona to a point where the pressure's on.
Speaker 5: We got to score and they should have had it
Speaker 5: at twenty one sixteen and then one.
Speaker 4: Play pressure was the pressure was on Arizona on that
Speaker 4: possession and it took one because if they go three
Speaker 4: and out, cowboys are in position. Okay, yeah, but Michael
Speaker 4: Wilson was left uncovered for a sixty nine yard pickup,
Speaker 4: So you got a mental bus right, all right, you
Speaker 4: want to start us off before we go to break
Speaker 4: here with something from the text line.
Speaker 5: We need to remind everybody for we do this. Sure
Speaker 5: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight.
Speaker 6: They're gonna we're gonna have to talk a little. Dak
Speaker 6: Prescott got back.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 6: I have a few people asking some questions about Dak consistency.
Speaker 5: Dak seen anything about the offensive lineman that we're missing.
Speaker 4: I have one question about for you when we come
Speaker 4: back here.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's do that.
Speaker 7: As we come back, We're.
Speaker 4: Gonna it's Tako Old Tuesday on Mixed Shots.
Speaker 9: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 7: And they snapped the press down. Who looks right, it's
Speaker 7: not there.
Speaker 1: He escaped leaft.
Speaker 2: He'll run full a punch down.
Speaker 9: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 9: to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com,
Speaker 9: I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've
Speaker 9: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,
Speaker 9: and trade crypto currency.
Speaker 3: Prescott's gonna run this himself, run it up the middle,
Speaker 3: and he scores.
Speaker 9: Whether you're new to crypto or an active trader, they've
Speaker 9: got you covered. What are you waiting for? Get started
Speaker 9: at blockchain dot Com.
Speaker 10: You know that sound anywhere. It's the crisp crunch, that
Speaker 10: first nacho chip with its perfect cheese to sour cream
Speaker 10: ratio sitting atop layer of delicious beans. It's a sip
Speaker 10: away from perfection. That's what we're looking for. Add a delicious,
Speaker 10: refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana. Because while
Speaker 10: you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 10: savory topping. There's no topping of school PEPSI finish nachos
Speaker 10: better with pepsi.
Speaker 2: That's what I like.

Speaker 4: All right, we continue here on a Tuesday at the
Speaker 4: Star in Frisco. Cowboys players have their regular day off
Speaker 4: today they start in earnest preparing for the New England
Speaker 4: Patriots tomorrow. And of course, last night we had two
Speaker 4: games played. The Eagles remain unbeaten, where they twenty five
Speaker 4: to eleven win over the previously unbeaten Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Speaker 4: and the Bengals got a yeoman effort from Joe Burrow
Speaker 4: playing hurt to beat the Rams last night for their
Speaker 4: first win of the season. So there are three unbeaten
Speaker 4: teams in the NFL through three weeks of the season.
Speaker 4: That shows what parody does for you.
Speaker 7: In this league.
Speaker 4: It's Philadelphia, it's San Francisco who the Cowboys will play
Speaker 4: next week, and it's the Miami Dolphins who put up
Speaker 4: seventy points. And by the way, how about the matchup
Speaker 4: this week Miami Buffalo?
Speaker 7: Oh really yeah?
Speaker 8: I like that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, very good.
Speaker 7: A good one.
Speaker 4: It's a I believe it's a noon game on Sunday,
Speaker 4: A rare marquee matchup in the noon window on Sundays.
Speaker 5: Tony Romo getting that game.
Speaker 7: That would be interesting. I'm not I would imagine it would.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd ship them a lot of times, a
Speaker 4: lot of times one crew, but a lot of times
Speaker 4: the networks will make the decisions on what games are
Speaker 4: getting in the first month of the season. That they
Speaker 4: make the decision before the season even starts. But I
Speaker 4: can see that they would have already assigned him and
Speaker 4: Nance to that game at the outset of the season,
Speaker 4: albeit at being a noon game. Usually he gets the
Speaker 4: three to twenty five game.
Speaker 7: All right, here's a question.
Speaker 5: Wait, before we got right, I was gonna say advice
Speaker 5: to the Dallas Cowboys after watching the Philadelphia game last night.
Speaker 5: They've got to November fifth to get their offensive line
Speaker 5: back together because the Georgia line. Holy Kyle, those monsters.
Speaker 5: Is that the name of a group Georgia. No, I
Speaker 5: don't know a country, something country.
Speaker 6: Geordia, Georgia line, Ordia, Georgia line.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, this is just the Georgia line.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 4: Well, and speaking of offensive line, if I were to
Speaker 4: tell you, yes, at the beginning of training camp, okay,
Speaker 4: not just on offense, but the Cowboys are going to
Speaker 4: play a game this season where they don't have Trayvon
Speaker 4: Diggs and Marquise Bell is your third linebacker, Okay, which
Speaker 4: is what the way they've been playing at the last
Speaker 4: three weeks. Okay, But I'm saying I'm asking this question
Speaker 4: the beginning of training camp, when we had no idea
Speaker 4: that Marquise Bell would be a linebacker.
Speaker 7: He was a safety. Okay, all right.
Speaker 4: But more importantly, they're going to play a game this
Speaker 4: season in which Tchuma Edogas starts at left tackle, Tyler
Speaker 4: Smith plays his first game of the season at left guard.
Speaker 4: Brock Hoffman play is your starting center, TJ Bass is
Speaker 4: your starting right guard, and Terrence Steel at right tackle.
Speaker 4: What would you say, regardless of who the opponent is,
Speaker 4: what would you say the chances are the Cowboys win
Speaker 4: that game? If I asked you that question at the
Speaker 4: beginning of training.
Speaker 5: Camp, I would have say they got shut out.
Speaker 4: I would fair have Basically, as important as it is
Speaker 4: to have healthy offensive linemen in this league, and you
Speaker 4: can point to the Rams last year, the Super Bowl
Speaker 4: champions from the year before, who lost a previously Pro
Speaker 4: Bowl left tackle and Andrew Whitworth to retirement, and then
Speaker 4: they had.
Speaker 7: So many injuries during the season.
Speaker 4: We saw what happened to that team last year, and
Speaker 4: there are others too. We saw Philadelphia remain healthy throughout
Speaker 4: the year on their offensive line until the very end
Speaker 4: when Lane Johnson had to nurse an injury in the
Speaker 4: last game of the season, basically, and we.
Speaker 7: Saw what Philadelphia did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're probably seeing this year with the
Speaker 4: teams that are getting off to quick starts, that the
Speaker 4: offensive lines are healthy. But it's so important to have
Speaker 4: a healthy offensive line. That's not an excuse for what
Speaker 4: happened on Sunday, but it's just reality in this league.
Speaker 4: And even as Brian Schottenheimer said in his press conference yesterday,
Speaker 4: those guys played well, but it's very difficult for an
Speaker 4: offensive line to be thrown together, especially the way this
Speaker 4: one was this past week with the injuries coming late
Speaker 4: in the week where they didn't get the reps in
Speaker 4: practic is for them to be able to function as
Speaker 4: an offense, which I think has a lot to do
Speaker 4: with the play calling that we saw in this game,
Speaker 4: especially late in the game after the Michael Gallup throwing
Speaker 4: the end zone that is not Mike McCarthy like to
Speaker 4: run with from the five and a half minute mark
Speaker 4: to the three minute mark in the game, where time
Speaker 4: is of the essence to run five straight rushing plays.
Speaker 4: But I think he felt like he had to do
Speaker 4: that because of what he had upfront on his offensive line.
Speaker 5: Oh, I think he was scared of it. And I'm
Speaker 5: going to throw one more at you. Just think back
Speaker 5: to remember the Super Bowl when Kansas City got beat
Speaker 5: and they had like three different offensive linemen.
Speaker 7: And what they did in the off season after that they.
Speaker 5: Shored agency, which is yes, absolutely so no, you're you're
Speaker 5: exactly right on that. And even Mike McCarthy said, my
Speaker 5: bad that I've got to learn now any probably knew it,
Speaker 5: but I'm going to get my backups more snaps in practice.
Speaker 5: And remember they only have so many so much time
Speaker 5: in practice, right. But those guys that you just mentioned
Speaker 5: barely got any practice right because they thought, well, they
Speaker 5: would have had some early because they knew Zach was
Speaker 5: in practicing. But the Beyaddish thing crops up, and then
Speaker 5: Tyron Smith thing crops up on Saturday, right, and so
Speaker 5: those guys are out there.
Speaker 4: I think you basically with Tyron, you basically have because
Speaker 4: of track record the last several years that and where
Speaker 4: he is in his career, and now Zach Martin is
Speaker 4: at that point that the age wise thirty three years old,
Speaker 4: that you you've got to make sure that that the
Speaker 4: backup offensive linemen are ready to go. Even when it
Speaker 4: appears on the injury report that you're good on Thursday,
Speaker 4: you may not be good by Sunday.
Speaker 6: Have we anticipated when these guys could make our return potentially?
Speaker 6: Has anyone said anything?
Speaker 5: No, they have not. I think Stephen Jones mentioned that
Speaker 5: there was a chance that they would get back, but
Speaker 5: he said, we got to see how the week goes along.
Speaker 5: So I think they're Usually it makes.
Speaker 4: The decision easy if they have an injury that puts
Speaker 4: them out for four weeks and you put them on IR.
Speaker 4: Now you're you're getting the young guys reps in practice.
Speaker 5: And you're talking to guys starting Hoffman and Bass that
Speaker 5: had never played. I mean, they'd been out there, you know,
Speaker 5: mop up stuff. Bass got to play a little bit
Speaker 5: that second half the Jets for the Jets, but they
Speaker 5: had never started in the NFL. It was their first starts.
Speaker 5: Hoffman's probably first snaps other than you know, some cleanup
Speaker 5: time and a blowout. So if those guys don't get
Speaker 5: a lot of snaps in practice. I'll be interested to
Speaker 5: see this week if they give some snaps at left
Speaker 5: tackle to Tyler Smith.
Speaker 4: Yep, that'll that will be interesting and good for them.
Speaker 4: They were actually going up against the Arizona Front and
Speaker 4: not the Philadelphia Front or the San Francisco Front, which
Speaker 4: the Cowboys will be.
Speaker 7: Facing next week.
Speaker 4: And even what the Patriots do defensive, they got a
Speaker 4: very experienced defense. They virtually everybody back on defense. And
Speaker 4: you know what Bill Belichick can do with the defense
Speaker 4: to try to confuse young players. All right, to the
Speaker 4: text line we go.
Speaker 6: All right, Regina from Virginia would like to know what
Speaker 6: we think about Brandon Cooks and the two games he
Speaker 6: has played. Do you think he has enough chemistry with
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott.
Speaker 5: Oh, I think the chemistry is there. I think I'm
Speaker 5: going to go back to you know, he didn't play
Speaker 5: the previous games. He played in the opener, I.
Speaker 4: Think, which was a game in which the Cowboys did
Speaker 4: not have to throw the football because they got up
Speaker 4: right sixteen to nothing to start the game.
Speaker 5: And then this game and he's Bill's talking, they're playing
Speaker 5: with a scared stick.
Speaker 4: And he's dealing with his injury, right, so coming off it.
Speaker 4: So I think it's too early to I think that
Speaker 4: they were fine just judging what we saw in training camp.
Speaker 4: They had gotten worked together in the off season on
Speaker 4: their own as well. I think the chemistry is fine.
Speaker 4: It's just too small a sample size and the nature
Speaker 4: of the games so far that it's hard to make
Speaker 4: a read. Just like last week we were talking, you know,
Speaker 4: they got to get Michael Gallup involved. Well, Michael Gallup
Speaker 4: got involved in a really good way on Sunday, which
Speaker 4: they will grow from there on that.
Speaker 5: And had that interference got called in the end zone,
Speaker 5: they would have had the ball at the one yard line,
Speaker 5: and I kind of liked their chances of.
Speaker 7: Giving it to Hunter Lipke and letting him score.
Speaker 6: That's right, Yeah, absolutely, I'm here for that. I actually
Speaker 6: like that give him the ball.
Speaker 5: So if they had scored a touchdown, was that the
Speaker 5: drive of the interception? Yes, So the score at that
Speaker 5: time it was twenty eight sixteen, so it would have
Speaker 5: been twenty eight twenty three or twenty four if you
Speaker 5: go for two if you scored a touchdown.
Speaker 4: But you wouldn't have twenty eight twenty three yeah. So
Speaker 4: now game on right, right, and you still had three
Speaker 4: timeouts left.
Speaker 5: And you could have on side kick, could have on sidekicked,
Speaker 5: you would have played defense.
Speaker 4: And now the pressure had they gotten the call, then
Speaker 4: you've got you wouldn't have had three minutes left. Let's
Speaker 4: say you score on the next play and at best
Speaker 4: you at best you score on the next play, and
Speaker 4: you've got five minutes left in the game instead of
Speaker 4: three minutes left in the game, and so you would
Speaker 4: not have on sidekicked.
Speaker 7: You would have tried to trust.
Speaker 4: Your defense that they're going to go ahead and cover
Speaker 4: everybody and get a three in out and then you
Speaker 4: get the ball back.
Speaker 5: Because that play, that play was snapped at five thirty three, right,
Speaker 5: So say you got the call, you would have had
Speaker 5: five minutes left right with the score now tight, and
Speaker 5: it makes them think, okay, now.
Speaker 7: This is it was a huge call in the right, huge.
Speaker 5: Call, especially since it was made and then picked up
Speaker 5: for some god forsaken reason.
Speaker 4: Okay, we're going back to the text line, or we're
Speaker 4: going to go down that dock road.
Speaker 6: I think we can start going down the dock road.
Speaker 4: If you got all right, let's go for it, all right,
Speaker 4: let me pull this up.
Speaker 6: Okay, Dak in his eighth season. Jalen Hurts went to
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl in his second year. Do we think
Speaker 6: Kasha Wilson did too, Dak, his ceiling maybe has been
Speaker 6: hit compared to Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4: Not comparing to Jalen Hurts or anybody. But I don't
Speaker 4: think this ceiling has been hit.
Speaker 5: I agree. Now, let's not udge off of one game.
Speaker 5: I mean, think about the judgments that were made. After
Speaker 5: two games. This was going to be the doomsday defense,
Speaker 5: and then in Game three they doomed the Cowboys seven
Speaker 5: plays for two hundred and when they say forty nine yards, geez,
Speaker 5: I guess the airs on the Cardinals who hadn't won
Speaker 5: and what they lose nine.
Speaker 4: By the way, By the way, I was thinking another
Speaker 4: thing I was going to tell you yesterday. We needed
Speaker 4: to have Danny Sirek on the show, but we needed
Speaker 4: with Everson here because you heard whatever whatever was was
Speaker 4: telling Daddy last week about. In fact, I saw a
Speaker 4: Facebook post That's what made me think of it. I
Speaker 4: saw a Facebook post in Danny's family they all root
Speaker 4: for the Cowboys because they're from here, and she's the
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals reporter. Now, as we talked about with her
Speaker 4: on the show last week, her heart.
Speaker 5: Is actually with the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: Bet her paycheck. Coach actually did. She didn't say that.
Speaker 4: I said that, but it was. It was funny and
Speaker 4: so on the comments. I said, we need to have
Speaker 4: you back on the show just so that you could
Speaker 4: talk some smack to Evererson.
Speaker 5: Well, she had her, but she wouldn't. She had her
Speaker 5: red sued on all the way. And at halftime she
Speaker 5: came up to me and it was twenty one ten
Speaker 5: and she said, oh, having a good time. I said,
Speaker 5: you just be careful. The Cowboys got the first possession
Speaker 5: of the second half. It's going to be twenty one
Speaker 5: seventeen real quick.
Speaker 7: Well did you see her after the game?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, all right, all right we continue with
Speaker 4: more mixed shots in just a moment.

Speaker 4: A Sunday night game at San Francisco next week, and
Speaker 4: then the Cowboys play a night game the following week,
Speaker 4: a Monday night game at the Chargers, and then the
Speaker 4: bye week after that, the week of October twenty second.
Speaker 4: But the Chargers, by the way, just signed Simi Fehoko
Speaker 4: to their active roster off the Steelers practice squad. They
Speaker 4: had the injury to Mike Williams, which will help the
Speaker 4: Cowboys out when they go to play the Chargers. Did
Speaker 4: you see the numbers that Justin Herbert put up against
Speaker 4: the Vikings. He was like forty out of forty seven
Speaker 4: of over four hundred yards and Keenan Allen threw a
Speaker 4: touchdown pass and he also had I think like eighteen
Speaker 4: catches in the game. They're putting in it, but it
Speaker 4: was a very close game that the Vikings came very.
Speaker 7: Close to winning.
Speaker 6: Great game. He had a four hundred and five yards
Speaker 6: and three touchdowns.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know who's the offensive Cordner Kellen Moore.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's right.
Speaker 5: Why aren't we staying at San Jose after the San
Speaker 5: Francisco game. I don't know what I didn't ask. I
Speaker 5: was asking you you've got the range staff.
Speaker 7: After the game?
Speaker 5: Well you you got to go back again on Monday
Speaker 5: the following Monday.
Speaker 7: Oh, I say, between San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not the it's like an eight eight
Speaker 4: days that like the Giants played last week.
Speaker 5: The Giants like eight days because we're get home Monday
Speaker 5: at about five in the morning.
Speaker 7: But you still get a full week to prepare. Okay, okay.
Speaker 4: The Giants, on the other hand, they played Week two,
Speaker 4: They played at Arizona and then they played a Thursday
Speaker 4: night game at San Francisco. So obviously they were going
Speaker 4: to stay on the West Coast, which they did well.
Speaker 5: Bill kept us out there between San Francisco and the Raiders.
Speaker 5: When they were in Oakland, it was the same town.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this week it's the New England Patriots, and
Speaker 4: the New England Patriots made an interesting move at the
Speaker 4: end of the week Friday Saturday, they signed Will Greer
Speaker 4: off the Bengals practice squad, and Will Greer said, yep,
Speaker 4: I'm coming to New England, and so absolutely, as Brian
Speaker 4: Schottenheimer said, there's probably some late hours that Will Greer
Speaker 4: is spending this week as the New England coaching staff
Speaker 4: picks his brain on the Cowboys office.
Speaker 5: They will debrief him, be like a spy.
Speaker 7: Right, interesting though, now I guess he.
Speaker 4: I would think that Will Greer might have had the
Speaker 4: opportunity with Burrow with what's going on with his injury.
Speaker 4: Greer and the Bengals probably they had to make a
Speaker 4: decision on Okay, are we going to activate you? Sign
Speaker 4: you to the active roster, But they felt good enough
Speaker 4: about Burrow's injury that they didn't need a third quarterback
Speaker 4: on the fifty three, and so Will decided he'd head
Speaker 4: to New England.
Speaker 7: Take that offer.
Speaker 5: So it's a big pay raise. It was funny last
Speaker 5: week the Bengals were having the running back run practicing
Speaker 5: throwing the ball because he was gonna be the third
Speaker 5: emergency quarterback.
Speaker 7: Yeah, after Greer got taken.
Speaker 4: And then they yeah, and then but you think about
Speaker 4: it from Will Greer's perspective, Okay, you've got your behind
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow in Cincinnati, and is it a better opportunity
Speaker 4: do you think going to New England, being behind Mac
Speaker 4: Jones and Malik Cunningham whoever else they have on their
Speaker 4: roster at quarterback, I think in the opportunity might present
Speaker 4: itself sooner in New England than it does in Cincinnati
Speaker 4: for him, assuming Burrow can stay healthy. And by the way,
Speaker 4: I mean Burrow last night obviously was it wasn't able
Speaker 4: to drive the football, but he went ahead and played
Speaker 4: because he felt like the risk of going zero to
Speaker 4: three was greater than the risk of further injury to
Speaker 4: his calf.
Speaker 5: You see him sitting on the bench with that wrap
Speaker 5: around his calf. I think it was probably a warming device.
Speaker 5: Or so, okay, where are we at? Is Dak cong
Speaker 5: plays this week? Because I mean, Greer had a great
Speaker 5: game when Dak called the players.
Speaker 4: Very nice, So will all the will can all will
Speaker 4: can offer to the paid All I know is this
Speaker 4: is how Dak would call a game exactly. I haven't
Speaker 4: seen enough of I don't pay attention that much. I
Speaker 4: was the third quarterback there.
Speaker 5: Maybe instead of being the emergency third quarterback, they'll just
Speaker 5: make him an active and send him into the coach
Speaker 5: and booth uh huh.
Speaker 4: Tye in the sky for the game or he's in
Speaker 4: whatever position to try to steal signs that too.
Speaker 6: Oh no, we can't have that, not like we're.
Speaker 5: Going to change those this week.
Speaker 4: And Patriots don't have any experience stealing signs. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's not something that they would do right.
Speaker 5: Or or putting somebody in the Doctor Pepper building.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So what is it as we look ahead towards New England?
Speaker 4: What is it that concerns you about this Cowboys team
Speaker 4: this week with this opponent.
Speaker 5: I'm just worried about that, you know what, I'm not
Speaker 5: worrying about the opponent. I'm worried about them. I'm worried
Speaker 5: about getting that offensive line back together, and if it's
Speaker 5: not together, then getting those those backups enough snaps that
Speaker 5: they are better coordinated up front, and then the defense
Speaker 5: just needs to get back to playing sound defense and
Speaker 5: not scurring all over the place. That's my concern. I
Speaker 5: don't care if they're playing Philadelphia Eagles this week. That
Speaker 5: stuff is just take care of yourself.
Speaker 6: I'm sure dan Quinn this week will really focus with
Speaker 6: the defense to try to get them set up for Sunday.
Speaker 6: I think that is his goal this week. You got
Speaker 6: to get all the guys on the same page and
Speaker 6: make sure they're not confused, and we don't give up
Speaker 6: those seven big plays, as you said something like that,
Speaker 6: we need to be more consistent.
Speaker 4: And then offense, don't think New England said seven big plays,
Speaker 4: he's all season.
Speaker 5: Well, well that's good. We'll find out their stats come out.
Speaker 5: And then offensively, But having said that, I have a
Speaker 5: lot of respect for New England. And they lost to
Speaker 5: Philadelphia twenty five to twenty. That was a game, and
Speaker 5: in the season open they fell behind sixteen to nothing
Speaker 5: to start the game. And then against Miami, a team
Speaker 5: that put up seventy the following week, they lost to
Speaker 5: them twenty four to seventeen. And then against the Jets
Speaker 5: they win fifteen to ten.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 5: So I was going to say, and then offensively, as
Speaker 5: Brian Schottenheimer said, they will emphasize red zone offense this
Speaker 5: week and make sure that they come up with a
Speaker 5: good plan. And you're right. I guarantee you. They pulled
Speaker 5: back and just because out of fear of their own selves,
Speaker 5: right with the offensive line they had, but no more
Speaker 5: pulling back.
Speaker 4: Well at a certain point, okay, that was a game
Speaker 4: where guys are getting their feet wet right playing in
Speaker 4: the NFL, and you know the game's come in a hurry,
Speaker 4: and you saw what happened with taking that approach in
Speaker 4: that game.
Speaker 7: Well, you've got to do what you do and.
Speaker 5: They're going to face a lot of blitzing. I'll guarantee
Speaker 5: you from Belichick. So do we have a text all
Speaker 5: teed up there?
Speaker 6: Let me see what we have here. You know, I
Speaker 6: got to say, not many texts coming in today, not
Speaker 6: on the Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 5: Well they had their chance.
Speaker 1: They did.
Speaker 7: I'll talk New England.
Speaker 4: Oh and I loved what McCarthy said yesterday about Zeke
Speaker 4: and his first impression of Zeke was the twenty sixteen
Speaker 4: game at Green Bay and of course McCarthy was on
Speaker 4: the packer's sideline and he said, Zeke made a long
Speaker 4: run right in front of the packer's bench and he
Speaker 4: just remembers just how big his head was.
Speaker 5: It's about the third time he's told that story.
Speaker 4: Just this is a big man. And he had said that,
Speaker 4: you know, watching him on television, whether in college or wherever,
Speaker 4: and preparing for the game, when coaches film, you don't
Speaker 4: get an impression of just how big a guy he is.
Speaker 4: And that was his first impression was just how big
Speaker 4: his head was. And he had many very nice things
Speaker 4: to say about Zeke yesterday and how he's loved in
Speaker 4: this locker room.
Speaker 7: And so I love.
Speaker 4: I love that the game is being played here and that.
Speaker 5: It's, yeah, a little homecoming, little bit homecoming when you
Speaker 5: think a last time a Cowboys, the Cowboys had a
Speaker 5: prominent player come back to play, And I don't know
Speaker 5: the answer that. All I can think of is em
Speaker 5: coming back with Arizona. But twenty years ago, was there
Speaker 5: anybody else? I mean, because they normally didn't let prominent
Speaker 5: players get away. Right now, DeMarcus Lawrence where right? But
Speaker 5: I don't think they ever played Denver with Where did they?
Speaker 5: I don't remember back in the preseason, I believe DeMarcus did.
Speaker 5: I believe. I'm gonna look at that.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5: There really wasn't. Now Ken Norton did.
Speaker 4: Thirty years now, Savannah.
Speaker 5: But I was just trying to think somebody, you know, quarterback,
Speaker 5: running back, wide receiver. Did Terrell Owens ever come back?
Speaker 5: Marco Murray did with Philadelphia if you remember, Oh, that's right,
Speaker 5: he did, and he was a pretty big figure for us. Yeah,
Speaker 5: at that time.
Speaker 4: I don't even remember DeMarco Murray being with Philadelphia.
Speaker 5: Don't either, he was there for a year.
Speaker 7: I was thinking not even remember.
Speaker 5: I was thinking he was at Tennessee.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I flew right over my head.
Speaker 7: But anyway, I think you know Zeke.
Speaker 4: You know, he got a late start in training camp,
Speaker 4: didn't get signed until pretty much late August. And they've
Speaker 4: got Romandre Stevenson, who I'm familiar with, having watched him
Speaker 4: at Oklahoma.
Speaker 7: I liked him.
Speaker 4: He's a big, tough, strong running back. Zeke's a better
Speaker 4: running back than him if he's depending on how.
Speaker 7: Much juice Zeke has left.
Speaker 4: And he shows what I've seen so far in New England,
Speaker 4: He's shown that he's still got it. And he had
Speaker 4: sixteen carries for eighty yards in the win over the
Speaker 4: Jets on Sunday, and so I think we're going to
Speaker 4: see a lot of Zeke on Sunday against the Cowboys.
Speaker 6: Twenty eight carries this season, one hundred and twenty two
Speaker 6: yards and no scores.
Speaker 5: Look at there, and that ready, I'm going to look
Speaker 5: it up.
Speaker 4: Zeke was right at five yards of carry against the Jets.
Speaker 4: He had several runs or ten yards in that game,
Speaker 4: see you there. So anyway, it's gonna be fun. It's
Speaker 4: gonna be a fun week as we get ready for
Speaker 4: the New England Patriots here on Sunday.
Speaker 5: Especially if he scores on the goal light, which we
Speaker 5: will get into the We didn't get to the offensive
Speaker 5: part the red zone stats after three games and the
Speaker 5: gold goal stats every carrier games because the Cowboys are
Speaker 5: only converting for the times.
Speaker 4: And three for eleven in the last two games. Yes,
Speaker 4: they were actually good in the red zone down on
Speaker 4: the goal line against the Giants, but since then, that's
Speaker 4: twenty seven percent the last two games in the red zone.
Speaker 4: All right, that does it for mixed shots on a Tuesday,
Speaker 4: and we will chat at you again tomorrow at noon.
