1 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Nick shot 3 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 4 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys apt Now here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola, And here we are. It's a fabulous 6 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: Friday edition of Mixed Shots. As we are, well, we 7 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: are forty eight hours away from halftime at AT and 8 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: T Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The media just can't get 9 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: enough of the fact that the Cowboys got flex down 10 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday night football playing at noon on Sunday on 11 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: CBS eleven in Dallas Fort Worth. I'm am quick to add, 12 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: and this is Mick Shots. This is Bill Jones, this 13 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: is Everson Walls, this is Mickey Spagnola inside the SWBC 14 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: Mortgage studio, and this is must win time for your 15 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Right, Mickey, we finally got to that point, 16 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: right we've been, They've been yelling at it, and it's 17 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: got a must win, a must win. Well now mathematically 18 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: it's a must win. You're exactly right. And I would 19 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: imagine since it's a Sunday noon game, we're not getting 20 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: Tony Romo doing the game? Are we? We probably aren't. 21 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: I need to figure out who is doing that game. 22 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: It's in the notes, I'm sure. Oh wait, I can 23 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: tell you, babe, all right? Who is who has the 24 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: call on CBS Kevin Harlan and Trent Green with Kevin 25 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: Harlan and Trent Green with Melanie Collins on the sideline. 26 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: And I would imagine Kevin Harland is very good friends 27 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy. The Harland family very involved with that 28 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packer outfit through the years, and so they 29 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: probably so maybe that will be something that will bode 30 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: well for Mike McCarthy, at least from a broadcasting standpoint. 31 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: He's got the play by play guy on his side, 32 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: that's for sure. And I guess I should have said 33 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: Tony Romo does Tony? Does Tony Romo ever give us 34 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: a win? I can't recall, Well, did he do Atlanta? 35 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: Did what might have done? Minnesot he didn't do. No, 36 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: Minnesota was probably a fin. No. Minnesota was near Jonathan 37 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: Vill mcgae loves so much Jefferson. He brought us a win, 38 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: Kenny Albert, Right, that's the reason you like, Vill brought 39 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: us a win? His voice reminds me of victory. That's 40 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: probably what it is. You know what that that it 41 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: me of, you know, being in Oklahoma grad My whole 42 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: family went to OU to school, and so when they 43 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: would play it like in the Orange Bowl, and the 44 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: game would typically be on NBC and Jim Simpson or 45 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: somebody would be calling the game with Paul McGuire or something, 46 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: and OU would be doing a horrible at the game, 47 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: and I'd get phone calls from my sisters saying, these 48 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: announcers are horrible. No, if your team is horrible, that's 49 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: the reason the announcers are horrible. That's like blaming the 50 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: weather man for the weather. That's rights, like, like the 51 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: weather man actually makes the weather. Yeah, that's pretty pretty rich. 52 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: That's what we had when I did Ranger games with 53 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: Tom gree We had a saying, our broadcast, we can 54 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: have an not that we ever would have an Emmy 55 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: Award winning broadcast, but we could. We could be operating 56 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: at the ultimate levels that we could possibly operate. But 57 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: if they're losing ten to one, it's a horrible broadcast. 58 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: And so it has everything to do with the play 59 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: of the team on the field. So it's hard it's 60 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: at the salvage in competence in the in the commentator's boots, 61 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: exactly like blaming us. However, the team we didn't pick 62 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: him right right right there, that's right. They might start. 63 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: So over the course of the next forty five minutes, 64 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: we'll tell you whether whether you're going to enjoy the 65 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: game on Sunday or not. One are the chances that 66 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans will enjoy this game against the forty nine ers, Mickey, 67 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like Charles Barkley. I guarantee, I guarantee 68 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are gonna win this game. That's yeah. Are 69 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: they gonna Are they gonna enjoy? Kevin Harland and Trent 70 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: Green on the broadcast, Mickey, what do you think Kevin 71 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: Harland's good? Um No, I'm saying you dismissed my whole point. 72 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,559 Speaker 1: That is, I got it broadcasters where your team's playing. 73 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to say it because then that goes 74 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: against his mantra of you know, they gotta win two 75 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: in a row. So he can't really commit right now. 76 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: You know, maybe next week he can commit, or or 77 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: if I can, then you know what, I'll never Yet, 78 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: we got a big problem you care after that, wait 79 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: till next year. And by the way, what I said, 80 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: what I said, Melody Collins was the sideline reporter. She'll 81 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: be the lower section of the of the stands reporter 82 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: by the way, because they're not allowed on the field. 83 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: There you go. And by the way, I have an 84 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: update on Tony Romo broadcasting Cowboys games. This from Justin 85 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: Ferrell on Twitter, and you can tweet us at spags 86 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: fifty two.

Yeah, like right now. 88 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: If you want to, if you want to communicate with this, 89 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: go to at CBS eleven Bill Jones, because I'm looking 90 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: at your tweets and the mentions on tweet deck right now. 91 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: All right, Romo called the Giants Cowboys game this year, 92 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: which we won but lost, and we won, we lost 93 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: because we lost DAK that game. They beat the Giant 94 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: with DAK. Then no, he means, because he's saying Romo 95 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: called the Giants game the Cowboy game this year, which 96 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: we won but lost, and we won when he did 97 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: the Chiefs game in twenty seventeen. All right, but but 98 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: he's saying we won the game, but we lost Dak, 99 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: so we really didn't win the game. So all right, 100 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: thank you very much, Justin Farrell, thank you, Justin so Nicky, 101 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: give us a practice report where you there. They're not 102 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: doing much. They're not doing much practice wise today. And 103 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: now it's a McCarthy Friday and the walk through day today, 104 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: so we'll go off of what we saw yesterday and 105 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: what Mike had to say today. So when he was 106 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: asked about Trayvon Diggs, Donovan Wilson, and Anthony Brown, he 107 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: said he is optimistic that they all will play on Sunday. Uh, 108 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: and they should, and they already had participated in what 109 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: he calls a mock game, not a walkthrough, a mock 110 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: game already this morning, so he feels pretty good about that. Uh. 111 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: He was not quite as uh positive about Zeke playing 112 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: as Jerry Jones was when he was asked this morning 113 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: on his segment on the on the Fan if he 114 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: thought Zeke would play, and he said absolutely absolutely, and 115 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: uh said uh, and he said, but you know that's 116 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: Jerry doctor, Jerry Jones saying it. And he goes in, 117 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: it's not my he said, it's not my knee, it's 118 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: not my ankle, it's not my hamstring. But I think 119 00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: he'll play, so anyway, I thought, I know, but the calf. 120 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: He mentioned everything else but the calf, and as Zeke, 121 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: sometimes I think Jerry, Jerry didn't get the memo. Sometimes 122 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: Jerry just doesn't get the memo right. But as Zeke said, 123 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, it was stiff on him first couple series 124 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: in this past game, and then it kind of worked 125 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: itself out. Since it's a bruise, it's not a tear 126 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: or a strain and so and then H McCarthy said 127 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: he thought Chitube Woozier was ready to go, so that 128 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: bodes well for the corners along with Donovan Wilson ready 129 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: to go. But I think there'll still be a question 130 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: mark on Xavier Woods, who missed practice yesterday with a 131 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: groin injury, a groin strain, and we'll see where that 132 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: one goes. He was less definitive on Woods. He said, 133 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: I think he'll be ready to go Sunday. We'll see 134 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: where he's in practice, what he does in practice tomorrow. 135 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: So that's probably a game time decision. If Woods can't go, 136 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: Darien Thompson and then Donovan Wilson will be the safeties. 137 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: And then it looks like they'll have their Yeah, he 138 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: was fully practiced yesterday, so that's good news there. And 139 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: then we'll see where they go at the cornerback position 140 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: if they have for one of the few times their 141 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: top four corners all dressed and ready to go. Deonte 142 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: Burton and Richard Robinson neither one has practiced all weeks, 143 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: so I would imagine they're down in this game. You know. 144 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: I was we always kind of talking about some off 145 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: the wall things about this segment and when you look 146 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: at how teams are handling injuries this year versus all 147 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: other years. I was listening to a show and they 148 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: were talking about how things may change forever, never going 149 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: back to the way it was in regards to preparation. 150 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: Even in regards to the coverage of sports. What do 151 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: you think have you even thought about the spags the 152 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: changes that might be made, not just in practices and 153 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: how they prepare for the week now, how they prepare 154 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: for the year, what the offseason might look like, and 155 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, a post vaccine, a post vaccinated world, what 156 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: do you think some changes are going to stay in place, 157 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: even in regards to how you guys cover the squad. Yeah, 158 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 1: I don't know about covering, but I read where the 159 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: owners when they had their past meeting, when they put 160 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: off the final decision on the seventeenth game, which Jerry 161 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: thinks it's definitely gonna happen. It's just a matter of 162 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: when they announce it. And then how they handled the preseason. 163 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: But I saw one thing they they were talking about 164 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: was maybe loosening the rules on injured reserve, like how 165 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: long you have to be out. I think they liked 166 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: the way it worked this year with guys being able 167 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: to go on IR but only for three weeks and 168 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: after that you were eligible to come back. And maybe 169 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: also and you know, they were going to expand the 170 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: practice squad I think from whatever it was last year 171 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: to twelve this year, and then they expanded into sixteen, 172 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: and I think they kind of liked that the fact 173 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: that that you could put more veteran guys on the 174 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: practice squad and then call guys up that stuff might change. 175 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: I think they liked the way that that has worked 176 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 1: this year. And I don't and I don't think they 177 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: saw much abuse of remember how you when you guys played, 178 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, we liked this guy, but we really 179 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: don't have room on the roster. We're gonna put them 180 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: on IR for four weeks and then assuming after four 181 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: weeks somebody else is gonna get hurt, and then we 182 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: can bring them back. And so they started stashing guys 183 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 1: when they weren't even hurt. But I think they liked 184 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: the way it worked this year, So I think, um, 185 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: it's about I think we might see you were loopholes. Yeah, 186 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: you were loopholes. Yeah, and so but it really and 187 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: the game day roster too, Bill too on how you 188 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: can call a guy up on Saturday and then put 189 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: them back down on Monday off the fifty three man 190 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: roster or fifty five. I think they liked the way 191 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: that worked. Yeah, scheduling preseason versus the number of games. Also, 192 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: are they going to change the number I'll continue to 193 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: deal with? Change the number of teams that make the playoffs. Well, 194 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: they had already been talking about expanding that, right, and 195 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: they just expanded it more. So I think that will 196 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: go forward. I think they'll like that. I think the offseason, 197 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: I think everybody realized this was a big miss this year, 198 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: not having an off season. Uh, and we can go 199 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: to you know what you said about the injuries and 200 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: I think soft tissue injuries, uh certainly are affected by 201 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: not having the off season they're normally having. I think 202 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: they realize now maybe more than they need that, yes, absolutely, 203 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: and then camps. Yeah, and then and then you know, 204 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: maybe three preseason games, but knowing you need uh, you know, 205 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: the preseason games, you need the longer training camp like 206 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: they used to have. I think they'll go back to that. 207 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: And this is assuming we're all in the clearer and 208 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: safe right that they don't have to clean keep the 209 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: distancing going on once the vaccine is and that's what 210 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: I said post post vaccinated world. Yeah, they you know, 211 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: speculation is by the end of July, you know, everything 212 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: should be fine. And I'm like, whoa, just the time 213 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: for football season because of course that's you know, we're 214 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: worried about here. See. And then the other thing I 215 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: think is going to be interesting. And and Jerry was 216 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: asked the question, you know, could he would he mandate 217 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: that everybody on the team is vaccinated? And he oh, 218 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: he put up the stop sign on that, right, because 219 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you just can't do that, right, 220 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: you can suggest it and make it available. Uh. And 221 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: and then if you don't take advantage of it. It's 222 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: like the flu right, you don't have to have a 223 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: flu shot, it's made available to the team and then 224 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: you're on your own. If you know, something happens, do 225 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: you want to take that chance? So I don't know 226 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: if go ahead, I was gonna say, Tom Landry, would 227 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, always with the veiled threats, sometimes not so veil. 228 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: He said, Okay, you don't have to take a flu shot, 229 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: but if you don't take a flu shot and you 230 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: get sick and miss a game or practice, you will 231 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: be docked in your page accordingly. So that kind of like, 232 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's like he I used to hate it 233 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: when he did that. We always were the most abused 234 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: team in regards to time off in training camp. And 235 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: there are certain rules that are set in place by 236 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: the union and the League Office that we all agreed to. 237 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: So Tom Landry will never adhere to that. It was 238 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: I'm Tom Landry. I'm gonna, you know, do what I 239 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: want with my team. And so one time somebody dropped 240 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: a dime on him. They called the union, called the 241 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: league office. So he comes in up there and he's 242 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: upset and so he goes, okay, guys, the league office 243 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: called and said I have to give you guys time off. 244 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: But then he goes, if one of you guys is 245 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: one second late for curfew, you know we're gonna run forever. Okay, 246 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: thanks Tom. You know now we're out, haven't trying to 247 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: have a good time in La or wherever we are, 248 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: and and everyone's watching the watch like, okay, guys, you 249 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: know we had curfew was a new at midnight, and 250 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: so everybody's in the room by ten thirty just to 251 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: make sure that we didn't have any unfortunate mishap. So yeah, 252 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: the coaches still like to do what they like to 253 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: do with their team, regardless of what the rules might be, 254 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: sometimes especially if they can get away. All right, we 255 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: need to take a break because I'm looking around me 256 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: and I have an unfortunate mishap here in my office 257 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: because my beagle Romo has a broken through the barricade 258 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: on the stairway and he has made his way into 259 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: my office. Where to go Romo is? He is by 260 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: himself today, And the reason I have to I've got 261 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: things in this room like candybars and stuff that dogs 262 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: cannot get to low lying areas. There's peanuts over there 263 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: there's candy corn over there from Halloween. There's stuff in 264 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: here that but dogs haven't been here for two months, 265 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: and the broken down the barricade and he's made his 266 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: way in here. Well, here's the issue that the read. Okay, 267 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: if you don't get done, Here's the issue that I 268 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: have today is that Romo's brother Bo had had surgery 269 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: this morning, and so Romo, for the first time in 270 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: his life, basically is by himself downstairs, and he got restless. 271 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: It's probably it's probably better that he broke the barricade 272 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: and came upstairs, because otherwise he would be breaking into 273 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: the Christmas presents under the tree downstairs. So it probably 274 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: better that this is happening. But let me go take 275 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: care of that and we'll be back with more mix 276 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: shots in a moment.

Yeah, I actually I actually 331 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: wanted to name him TiO, and I got Boh hell no, 332 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: hell no, hell no. And uh so yeah, they named 333 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: him Bo. So it's Bo and Romo and Bo bohead 334 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: surgery today. We go pick him up at the vet 335 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: later today. He's doing all right coming out of surgery. 336 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: Romo's having a harder time than bo is. Yeah, oh 337 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: so Bo. That's cool. Black Obama, that's cool. Wait there 338 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: we go. That was even that was that was a 339 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: precursor to Barack Obama. So that was it was actually 340 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: an omen that Obama would be elected the following year. 341 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: In fact, that would have been during the primaries and stuff. 342 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: So there, Yeah, that's when he made the speech, when 343 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: he made the speech during the National Convention. Yeah, there 344 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: you go. Yeah, that's right. All right, So where are 345 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: we now? I got one for you. Well now now 346 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: that Romos put up. So you know how we talked 347 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: about how we thought the pandemic the limited off season 348 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: contributed to injuries. We debated that. I was curious if 349 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: Everson thought maybe a shortened uh preseason or no preseason, 350 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: a shortened training camp, no offseason had anything to do 351 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: with the cowboys problems with turnovers in that first nine 352 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: games of the season when Zeke was fumbling that we've 353 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: never seen them fumble like that before. They were turning 354 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: the ball over left and right. I was just wondering 355 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: if you think maybe that affected your ability to take 356 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: care of the football. And you know, I do spags 357 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: and I think it's not just you know about Zeke fumbling, 358 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: and I think we can all agree on this. When 359 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: when a guy fumbles, it's never really just the guy 360 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: that you see in front of you that makes you fumble. 361 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: It's always the one that tackles you that you're prepared for, 362 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: and it's the hit that you are not prepared for. 363 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: That usually jokes you. Case in point, we talked about 364 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: Scholtz missing a block I think it was against Arizona, 365 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: and Zeke's running through there. The holder is wide open, 366 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: he's about to make a move, he's about to make 367 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: some steps and he's think he's gonna go Mentally, he's 368 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: he's already ten yards ahead, and a guy comes unblocked 369 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: off of Sheltz and blast him and then there goes 370 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: the ball. That's because of the surprise. So the answer 371 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: to that in regards to no training camp is you 372 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: have to be your timing has to be down, not 373 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: just as an individual, but also as a team. And 374 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: because of the fact that we've got all these guys hurt, 375 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: offensive lineman hurt, you got a new tight end coming 376 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: in the game with Schultz because Jarlon went down. So 377 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: now you're looking at the timing is a little bit 378 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: different when you have a whole different cast that that's 379 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: performing at that point. So long answer to your question is, 380 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. It has something to do with it. 381 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: Even with wide receivers quarterback combos. You know you gotta 382 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: work on that. You have to work on that. You 383 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: can't just come in two guys two different individuals and 384 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: just come in right away and you have your timing down. 385 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: That's something no matter what kind of jailing you have, no, no, 386 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 1: no matter what kind of connection you have with your 387 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: wide receiver verse quarterback, that's something that has to be 388 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: worked on over and over and over. And we're just 389 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: we're just talking about one receiver and one quarterback. Let's 390 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: just not to mention when you're talking about the cast 391 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: of people that have to get together and the timing 392 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: has to be just right. So yeah, soft tissue or 393 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. So I was gonna say so 394 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: I did a little deeper dive into the Cowboys takeaway giveaways. 395 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: I can't remember if I pointed this out the other day. 396 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: The Cowboys have had twenty four turnovers. Twenty of those 397 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: were in the first nine games, four of them were 398 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: in the last four games. But how about this on takeaways, 399 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have fourteen. They had seven in the first 400 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: nine games and now seven in the last four games. 401 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: So do you think it's just a coincident in those 402 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: last four they went two and two and in those 403 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: first nine they went two and seven. I think when 404 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: we talk about the stuff that's really caused this team 405 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: to be in the situation is you know, we've talked 406 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks, we've talked about the offensive line, but 407 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: when it comes down to their disparity on takeaways and 408 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 1: giveaways has been immens And the other thing that I 409 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: saw was the opponents points scored after takeaways. They have 410 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: scored seventy five points off of takeaways in twelve games 411 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: because the Cowboys didn't have any turnover this last game, 412 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 1: So in twelve games it's been seventy five points. And 413 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys in those first twelve games had only had 414 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: twenty eight points off of takeaways until this last game 415 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: when they had three and they added seventeen to it, 416 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: so they were there. At this point, they're a minus 417 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: thirty on takeaways points because of turnovers, So to me, 418 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: that has had a big factor and why they're sitting. 419 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: You know, everybody's like, well, it's this, this, this and this, 420 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: but how do you how do you qualify that many 421 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: turnovers and that few takeaways. Here's my rule of thumbs fags. 422 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: And you may have heard it as well. You've been 423 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: around many practice field. Bill, you can chime in on 424 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: this as well. They always say in the beginning of 425 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: the season. Defense has the advantage. That's always what you hear, 426 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: because you know, defense is where we want to be. 427 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: It doesn't take much for guys to coordinate different positions 428 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: on the field, whether it's zone or matchup zone in 429 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: that regard, and it seems like those stats bear that out. 430 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: We were actually able to get turned overs early on 431 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: because the defense is ahead of most offenses because of 432 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't have that off season. Now, 433 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: of course, the talent allows you to come through and 434 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: make plays, but in those crucial points that I always 435 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: speak of, those critical moments, those are the ones that 436 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: you that really suffer for you offensively, those critical moments, 437 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: third downs, wanting to do well on first and ten, 438 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, goal line. Those those are the situations where 439 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: the defense starts off ahead of the offense of every offense, 440 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: and then as the season goes on, then the offenses 441 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: start clicking and and you know, between receivers and timing 442 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: and things of that nature. You know, that's that to 443 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: me bears that out, and I noticed on San Francisco. 444 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: So they've gone in these their last four games, they're 445 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: one in three. Actually they're there, I think one in 446 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: five or six in the last six or seven games. 447 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: But anyway, offensively, they've turned the ball over these last 448 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: four games ten times, ten times, they've gotten eight takeaways, 449 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: but they're they're a minus two when it comes to that. 450 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: So you know when here coach say that, and coaches 451 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: say it all the time on how turnovers have the 452 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: biggest effect on games, and it kind of goes in 453 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: one ear out the other, and we're sitting there going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 454 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: But I think if you look at it, uh, boy, 455 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: that has had such a big effect on what the 456 00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys have done over those first nine games of the season. 457 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: And see to me, to hear you say that and 458 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: to hear that heat that a coach has said that. 459 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: You know, I've never really listened to the defensive coaches 460 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: when they talk. I don't know if they put emphasis 461 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: on turnovers verbally. They can, they can put the emphasis 462 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: all they want, but if you don't practice that, If 463 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: you know turnovers are important, you're not just talking about 464 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: strip sacks and fumbles. You're talking about the ones that 465 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: make the biggest impact, you know, the biggest stat that 466 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: makes the biggest impact on the ball game. So to me, 467 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: there needs to be a huge effort for the entire organization. Yes, 468 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: we love offense. We I've mentioned it before, offense salves tickets. 469 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: But we know the defense wins games, and specifically turnovers 470 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: win games. So why is it that defensively, regardless of 471 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: who you draft, all this of what personnelity is, why 472 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: isn't that culture here to create turnovers if you know 473 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: that they are important. That's the question that I would 474 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: have to ask this the defensive coordinator and the second 475 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: day of the coach with the Cowboys. Okay, we're up 476 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: against a break and when we come back, I want 477 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: to tell you the real reason that the Cowboys and 478 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: Niners got flexed out of Sunday Night football is sort 479 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: of related to what you're talking about here. But the 480 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: other thing about turnovers, Mickey, is the strange thing as 481 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: far as the Cowboys giveaways are is that is that 482 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: they happened early in games. Typically, when you have turnovers, 483 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: a lot of times it's because you're playing from behind, 484 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: they'll happen late in the game or you'll have interceptions. 485 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: But in the Cowboys case, in the first part of 486 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: the season, many of those turnovers came in the first 487 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: half of games or on the first play of the 488 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: second half in Seattle. Uh. And it's when a game 489 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: is either still under control where you've got a shot 490 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: at it, or exactly and so you dig yourself this 491 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: huge hole. And uh and And I think a lot 492 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: of that had to do with the fact that it 493 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: almost felt like from an offensive standpoint, the Cowboys went 494 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: into games with the mentality that we got to score 495 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: so much that almost with the mentality that we're behind 496 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: and we got to do more than what is necessary 497 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: early in games. And a case in point, I mean 498 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: touchdowns that they scored on the first drive of a game. 499 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: They have they got none, Yes, they have not. They 500 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: have not scored a touchdown. And it's almost like they're 501 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: trying too hard to rather than that's let the game 502 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: come to them. Yeah, that's exactly right, and I've always 503 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: seen it. And a lot of those turnovers were, especially 504 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: when Dak was all, yeah, that was a lot of 505 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: Zeke's problem. He was trying too hard to make something 506 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: out of nothing and our trying to get an extra 507 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: yard or two, and he got careless. So this will 508 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: be shocking, and I'll let you go to break games. 509 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: The five games after the opener against the Rams, the 510 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys giveaways three three, three, two and four. That's shocking, 511 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: and it was shocking at the time, and it's even 512 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: more shocking now than when we come back the real 513 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: reason that the Cowboys and Niners got flexed out of 514 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: Sunday Night football.

There 564 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 1: have to make a comeback strong. Yeah. Yeah. The way 565 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: the way he finished in the fourth quarter of that 566 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: read gives me a hope that the Cowboys might finish 567 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: this season strong. See again, I put two words together. 568 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm reading Anniversary and my eyes are already on featuring, 569 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: and I combine the words again. Hey, by the way, 570 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: I gotta see me have alop Blooper reel that put 571 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: it together. Please, Chris, that's my whistler. You know how 572 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: we used to do show and tell in school. I 573 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: found this in my dad's old jewelry box. It's a 574 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: stop watch and it has to be it has to 575 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: be at least seventy years old, right, So the back 576 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,280 Speaker 1: fell off of it. The back has an engraved train engine. 577 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 1: Probably can't see it, it's not close enough. But I said, 578 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: I wonder if this thing works. So I kind of 579 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: wound it. All of a sudden, things start ticking and 580 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 1: I go, I wonder how long it will work? Well, 581 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: I said it at nine o'clock and it's picking up time. 582 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: It's not losing time. How about that? Oh wow, it's fast. 583 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: It's not keeping accurate time. Yes, it's time. It's saying 584 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: that we have three minutes left in the show. Hey, 585 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: you talked about watch stories. I got one for you. Though. 586 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: The Cowboys used to give away Bomb and Marcia watches 587 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: for I mean every week they give away three of 588 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: them from Zoe's jewelry. I believe Rock just start back 589 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: did the show and they had the Offense, Defensive and 590 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: Special Teams MVP, and they gave away these beautiful bomb 591 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: and Marcia watches of some French Watch and it's it's 592 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: just below or maybe on the same level as rolettes. 593 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know it's extremely expensive. I 594 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: kept mine everyone else that I know of because they 595 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: were giving them away so much. All the guys on 596 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: the team cannot find the bomb and Marcia watches. I 597 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: still have mine. I got it in nineteen eighty one 598 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: and I still have it. So, Bill, you're always talking 599 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: about a loose track on time and how old I am. 600 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: I know how old that watches Okay, that watches thirty nine, 601 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: that watches thirty nine years old, And I will keep 602 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 1: that watch as long as as I can. And maybe 603 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: after I'm gone, maybe my son will be digging it 604 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: out like like you're doing SPADs, digging it out of 605 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: my jewelry old jewelry box somewhere and taking a look 606 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: at you. Always good to have memories like that. Man, 607 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool stuff. That's very cool. Hey, Bill, before 608 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: you explain why the game got flexed, I wanted to 609 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: point this out real quick. How about Jalen Giton. Do 610 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: you guys remember Jalen Guiton Alan High School? I saw 611 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: him the other night last night. He was texturing it 612 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: up against the Vegas against Vegas for the Chargers a 613 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: matter of fact, had the big interference call in the 614 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,280 Speaker 1: end zone that got him down there to score the 615 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 1: critical touchdown. He's been bawling for them now. I always 616 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,879 Speaker 1: thought it was good. They just he got a little 617 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: nicked up at the end of training camp that year 618 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: and they sort of gave up on him. I just 619 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: always thought he had something well, and he was Kyler 620 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: Murray's UH go to receiver at Alan High School back 621 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: in the day. And there was a reason there was 622 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 1: a reason he signed with Notre Dame out of high 623 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: school because he he he there was a reason he 624 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: signed with Notre Dame. That was because he's good. He's good, right, 625 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: and he wound up he wound up finishing up at 626 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 1: North Texas and UH, and then he got an opportunity 627 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: with any any He flashed with the Cowboys that in 628 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: that preseason as well, but the Cowboys didn't keep him in. 629 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: The Chargers are benefiting now, all right. The reason is 630 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: the cowbast thing. I gotta say, he can he can 631 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,320 Speaker 1: go deep. Yes, you know that that system is made 632 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: for him. They go deep all the time. That's where 633 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: he exposes the dbs. That's what he's best. I mean, 634 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: here we go deep sometime, but most of what intermediate 635 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: timing routes and things of that nature. Maybe it just 636 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,919 Speaker 1: obviously wasn't a good fit for him. He's good where 637 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: he is right now with that rookie quarterban Red And 638 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: he scored I remember he scored a touchdown in a 639 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 1: preseason game. It was on a deep pass with the Cowboys. 640 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: All right, So the real reason the Cowboys in Niners 641 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: got flexed out of Sunday Night Football look no farther 642 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: than the quarterbacks. Okay, think about around the league, how 643 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: many teams have lost their starting quarterbacks this season. And 644 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: this kind of goes back to what ever since? And 645 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: you alluded to it earlier when you're talking about the 646 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: turnovers early in the season, But then you talked about 647 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: how much a starting quarterback has to get on the 648 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: same page with his receivers, not just one receiver, but 649 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: the whole arsenal of receivers. All right, Think about how 650 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: costly it is for the teams. And we got two 651 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 1: teams playing on Sunday they lost their starting quarterbacks back 652 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,399 Speaker 1: in October, and how costly it has been for both 653 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Niners. As Mickey pointed out, since 654 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: Garoppolo went now with an injury in October, the last 655 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: game that he started and finished for San Francisco, they 656 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 1: went to New England and won thirty three to seven. 657 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: They were starting to hit their stride even with their injuries. 658 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 1: They had already lost Nick Bosa for the season and 659 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: Solomon Thomas to injuries, but they were hitting their stride 660 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: with a thirty three to seven win on the road. 661 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: They were four and three. Then they go to Seattle, 662 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: Garoppolo gets hurt. They've lost five out of six games 663 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: since then. And yeah, they don't have the same quality 664 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: backup quarterback maybe that the Cowboys have with Andy Dalton. 665 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 1: But it's enough to get your starters enough reps in 666 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 1: practice in an abbreviated preseason, much less your backup. And 667 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the reasons that Dalton struggled 668 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: at first. And now he's kind of hit his stride 669 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: a little bit here the last couple of weeks. But 670 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: how many other teams in the league have lost their 671 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks. Cincinnati lost Joe Cincinnati lost Joe Burrow. But 672 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: but you look around the league and and what other 673 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,760 Speaker 1: teams have lost their starters for the for the season 674 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. Yeah, I mean Washington 675 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 1: made a change, Okay, but that was because Haskins wasn't 676 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: wasn't playing well and they put Alex Smith in. Uh. 677 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 1: You know, the Dolphins made made the decision because they've 678 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: got to Uh. It wasn't an injury deal there. The 679 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: Bears are undecided between Falls and Drubisky. But other than that, 680 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: I mean, well, let me starters have been playing for 681 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: let me do it for you. So Buffalo has had 682 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: the same guy the whole season, right, Miami switched New England. Uh, 683 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: there was an injury. Ryton Darnald got hurt with the Jets, 684 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: didn't he Uh, Pittsburgh Big Ben was out for a while, 685 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: Cleveland all the way through Baltimore with COVID. You mentioned Cincinnati, Uh, Tennessee, 686 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: I don't remember Hill Way, Indianapolis with Rivers, Okay, all 687 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: the way, Houston all the way. Jacksonville has switched all 688 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: the way. They switched in Jackson and Jacksonville Jackson Jacksonville 689 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: and the Jets don't count. Okay, Okay, thank you. Kansas 690 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: City was good last way. Las Vegas lost their starting quarterback. 691 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: Right Denver, they've had car throughout the year. Yeah, Denver 692 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 1: lost Drew Locke for tindhead an issue, and where they 693 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: didn't have a quarterback. Now they have a quarter back 694 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,400 Speaker 1: one game. Yeah, and then they didn't have a quarterback 695 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,280 Speaker 1: for one game. But Drew Lockett had heard an ankle. 696 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: I think it was her shoulder. Uh. The Chargers have 697 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: their garo. Okay. Washington lost THEIRS, The Giants lost THEIRS. 698 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: Philly didn't lose THEIRS, but they decided to lose them. 699 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: The Cowboys lost there. Yeah, the Giants would be the 700 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,840 Speaker 1: other team that lost THEIRS. But he's gonna come back 701 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: him been lost for the season. Minnesota and Green Bay 702 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: have been strong. Chicago they had to change Detroit Stafford. 703 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,879 Speaker 1: Didn't Stafford have a COVID? Did he actually sit out 704 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: or did he actually? But he's been there, he's been 705 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 1: there throughout Okay. New Orleans lost Drew Braman had an issue. Uh. 706 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Yeah, that's the other one. Breeze Breeze Atlanta, Carolina, Uh, okay, 707 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: and then okay with the Saints, how have the Saints 708 00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: looked without Breeze? Defense? Yeah, try, But but offensively, offensively, 709 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: they're sitting there with Taysom Hill and you're sitting there 710 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,720 Speaker 1: wondering how come they gave Taysom Hill all that money, 711 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,760 Speaker 1: you know, right, But but in his defense, he hadn't 712 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: other same reps throughout the off season in preseason that 713 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: Drew Brees had. It's a quarterback. He can't have all 714 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: the reps he wants. But that defense is always gonna 715 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: be the stabilizer for that tim all right, So until 716 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: very quickly, Yeah, that's try Who's gonna win Sunday? Well, 717 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,240 Speaker 1: you know that was you know mice pick Cowboys, Baby 718 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: twenty one Cowboys. Hey, my pick to click the running 719 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: game particularly uh thundering Lightning. I have it. Zeke's running 720 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: game is gonna be if he plays, it's gonna be 721 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 1: strong either way. If Polot play is still gonna be strong. 722 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: And I look for Polock to be a effective receiver 723 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Look for that to be key 724 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys getting some one on one space out 725 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 1: there for us talented young man. Okay, and I am 726 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: picking the Cowboys to win the game on the final 727 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: in the final minute or so of the game in 728 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:27,280 Speaker 1: the back right corner of the end zone. CD Lee, okay, 729 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 1: over Richard Sherman to make the catch to win the 730 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: game for the Cowboys. Vis Walls is gonna be very heavy. 731 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: That's right, That's exactly right. It's not DC Dwight Clark. 732 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 1: It's CD Lamb with the catch for the Cowboys that 733 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: keep them alive and the playoff chase. But CD and 734 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: in Washington loses to Seattle. Until next week, the Cowboys 735 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: are still a Lot five and the race for the 736 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,800 Speaker 1: NFC East Championship. So you know what, you know what's funny. 737 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: You know what's funny is everybody in San Francisco's picking 738 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and everybody in Dallas is picking the forty 739 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,359 Speaker 1: nine ers. So I guess I'm picking at twenty eight? 740 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:24,919 Speaker 1: Twenty seven? All right, wasn't it? Wasn't that the score? Memory? Okay? Seven? 741 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 1: What do you want to rub it into Cubby for? 742 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 1: This is? This is the redemption game. I like that. 743 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take it. That's right, okay, And 744 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it on Monday at one thirty.
