Speaker 1: make my score prediction after filling up my truck with
Speaker 1: gas just moments ago. Wait until you see my score
Speaker 1: on this game? How long you it got a full take?
Speaker 1: This time full take, And if you look at these
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, it may take a full take. It might
Speaker 1: be a fifty burger. You know this is a Cowboys
Speaker 1: team that has over the last eight games gone over
Speaker 1: forty point forty or more points four times in eight games? Right,
Speaker 1: have you looked back in history on that one averaging
Speaker 1: twenty five game? Have you gone back in history? No? No,
Speaker 1: to see how many times in an eight game stretch? Eight?
Speaker 1: How many times at an eight game stretch as a
Speaker 1: Cowboys team scored forty or more points? They've done it
Speaker 1: four times in this eight game stretch. So y'all talk
Speaker 1: for the next forty five minutes and I'll look it up.
Speaker 1: That's a computer. You got to figure that one out.
Speaker 1: He ain't figuring that out on your own. Hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have football players on a football field behind you.
Speaker 1: It looks like there's Yes, there's stuff out practice today. Yes,
Speaker 1: it'll be a full practice, but at a walkthrough pace. Right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, like all of them, they will have helmets on.
Speaker 1: They'll have helmets on. They won't have they won't have.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have full practice, yes, with nothing but helmason. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have to announce that. That will be Helma's one. Well,
Speaker 1: did you guys wear pads on a short week? Yes? Dude,
Speaker 1: this tom Land. Just stop asking those questions. You know
Speaker 1: these answers. Well he just du did you too, You
Speaker 1: know these answers. Man, come on, let's just stop. How
Speaker 1: many times? What during Thanksgiving? We we would have two
Speaker 1: pad of paxes if we could, like Tuesday and Wednesday,
Speaker 1: you played on Sunday, we do light, We do light
Speaker 1: on the way back on the day back, and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Yeah, but it was gonna be if
Speaker 1: we didn't have enough time and he wanted to put
Speaker 1: it in more stuff, he would not be ashamed to
Speaker 1: put us in shoulder pads in shorts on that prep
Speaker 1: day and then the full day like on Monday, be
Speaker 1: the next day you put pads on after the day
Speaker 1: we put we could put shoulder pads on. Yes, you
Speaker 1: didn't have shells pack after y'all. Did y'all do the
Speaker 1: Oklahoma drill? No, I don't even think we did that.
Speaker 1: Didn't train accomp No, No, Time was a coach, but
Speaker 1: he wasn't a college coach. He was a professional coach. Yeah, God,
Speaker 1: I just yeah. Helmets was always going to be part
Speaker 1: of it. We never went out without helmets. Well they'll
Speaker 1: have helmets today. Oh wow, that's a good compromise. No,
Speaker 1: Santa Claus hats or anything. Yeah, yesterday. No we didn't.
Speaker 1: We never did that. No, we never did that, not
Speaker 1: even on your walk through a day walk through the
Speaker 1: walk through. Yes, we would have on Saturday before Sunday. Yea,
Speaker 1: yeah there you go. Wait Saturday, Yeah, Saturday we have,
Speaker 1: but that's a workday here with the Giants. For some
Speaker 1: strange reason, we would home game Saturday, walked through a
Speaker 1: day after everybody leave, we played touch football. Well that
Speaker 1: was that they were They were running sprints on Saturdays,
Speaker 1: because that's the game. Was it eighty six eighty five?
Speaker 1: Danny White pulled a hamstring running sprints and he couldn't
Speaker 1: play against running sprints the day before the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. They were playing Denver and I think Pulure
Speaker 1: had to start um he pulled up lame because they
Speaker 1: were doing special teams drills and the quarterbacks were supposed
Speaker 1: to be running right, you know, like covering, and and
Speaker 1: he couldn't play. And I think I think Randy White
Speaker 1: did something also and he couldn't play in that. Guess
Speaker 1: the game they got there. I was going to talk
Speaker 1: bad about Danny till you save Randy. Yeah. I can't
Speaker 1: put those in the same category. Yeah, all right, So
Speaker 1: what you got today? What's tough of your mind? I
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff on my mind. I've been
Speaker 1: studying the Tennessee Titans all morning. Do you but do
Speaker 1: you know who's gonna play? Did you see their injury list? Yes,
Speaker 1: they've got a lengthy I think they have eleven starters
Speaker 1: on their injury report. Oh, they have what they want
Speaker 1: to And I wrote down with Rabel said when they
Speaker 1: asked him, well you know who's playing or whatever, and
Speaker 1: he said, well, try to find out who we have
Speaker 1: and who's available. So that didn't bode well for them,
Speaker 1: not thinking we don't really need to win this game.
Speaker 1: But they don't have any place to turn. I mean,
Speaker 1: they just got to play with whoever can play. Yes,
Speaker 1: so it's not like they can Well, there's one guy
Speaker 1: they can rest and that's Derrick Henry, right, and they
Speaker 1: can air on that. They're probably other guys too, but
Speaker 1: they're not as far as guys that we Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: not push them to play if they have a quality
Speaker 1: backup running back, don't they. I asked you that yesterday
Speaker 1: and the one no, nothing is he related to Jonathan Hankins.
Speaker 1: I just looked at it real for you guys. But
Speaker 1: Don Treill Hilliard was there. Uh. Haskins out of Michigan
Speaker 1: is their fourth round draft pick this year. Don Treill
Speaker 1: Hilliard has been their backup when and we can't go
Speaker 1: but because he's hurt, all right, and so to answer
Speaker 1: your question, that's one of their injuries right now. And
Speaker 1: so this is very timely this week being the Christmas week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hill Hilliards ran for all of one hundred forty five
Speaker 1: yards right right. Here's one of them called the microphone.
Speaker 1: Won't you talk into it? Because I can't hear you.
Speaker 1: I need a headset when I'm looking at my most
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know people can't hear this Christmas week.
Speaker 1: One of their running backs. You'll like the name. It's
Speaker 1: Julius Chestnut. That's appropriate for this week, it is. That's
Speaker 1: why I brought it up. Julia's Chestnut. They roasting he
Speaker 1: is He's not roasting the cowboys? Is he related to
Speaker 1: the hot dog guy Julie? Oh yeah, yeah, it's very good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not speaking the rest of the show,
Speaker 1: win par all of us. That's right. It's great to
Speaker 1: have you here today. Ever Sinca. When we closed the
Speaker 1: show yesterday, we thought that you were going to be
Speaker 1: on the road, but that you decided to stay here.
Speaker 1: So all of those that tuned off because I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be here today, you can come back in.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. Yeah, But now we got caught
Speaker 1: up in the whole Southwest thing. Man. I was trying
Speaker 1: and looked up on the board and it was had
Speaker 1: read next to it, just like almost every other flight.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen a board of flights
Speaker 1: with nothing but canceled on them. And that was departure
Speaker 1: and arrival. I think a rival had more red than departures.
Speaker 1: The only one that went through it was a flight
Speaker 1: to Vegas was landing at three fifteen or something like that.
Speaker 1: Imagine they could get to Vegas. Well, they were getting
Speaker 1: coming back from Vegas. That was their arrival. So it
Speaker 1: was just I've never seen anything like it. Of course,
Speaker 1: you know all those stories on on TV, on the news,
Speaker 1: you can confirm exactly there. It was proof proofing the
Speaker 1: casing point right there. So now it was just very interesting. Uh,
Speaker 1: we were out there for a little bit and now
Speaker 1: like baby, we ain't going nowhere. Let's get the air
Speaker 1: on out of here. Yeah, I can do a podcast
Speaker 1: that proof you should have been flying American airlines, the
Speaker 1: official airlines. Hey, I'm going with the airline, the official
Speaker 1: airline of Cherish Walls. Okay, she's the flight attendant. She
Speaker 1: got me that pass, and I was gonna use that pass.
Speaker 1: But this is not a good time to use passes
Speaker 1: during the Christmas season. She couldn't even get home, you know,
Speaker 1: she could not. She had to spend Christmas away from
Speaker 1: home at the Chicago Midway. Wow. Yeah, and you know
Speaker 1: what and where Midway is there's not a lot around it.
Speaker 1: I mean it's in a neighborhood, but there's course, you know,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of restaurants here well right, no hotels
Speaker 1: like no. And that was a shame because she was
Speaker 1: thinking when she knew she was going to be sent there,
Speaker 1: that's what all the flights were being canceled. So she
Speaker 1: was like, this is not gonna work. So she knew
Speaker 1: by the way, wow, there was an old person on
Speaker 1: a totem. Yeah you go. Yeah, So now it was
Speaker 1: still she came. I was happy to see her. She
Speaker 1: made it home safely, and I'm glad I'm here today's
Speaker 1: news around the NFL. Today, J J. Watt As announced
Speaker 1: he's retiring McCarthy. Why do you think you waited so long?
Speaker 1: I mean, why do you think it is interesting that
Speaker 1: he waited until after the last home game for Arizona
Speaker 1: on Sunday night against Tampa Bay. You could do maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean, I give him credit for waiting until that
Speaker 1: because it's it's egotistical that they're going to go out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you get the big tribute all in the
Speaker 1: home game, not just home games, but yeah, times would
Speaker 1: appreciate what you've done as well, and they would give
Speaker 1: you love. So I'm surprised he didn't go for the flowers.
Speaker 1: And you would appreciate what he's done in his crew,
Speaker 1: no doubt, doubt. And every first thing that pops to
Speaker 1: mind is the hurricane situation in Houston and league and
Speaker 1: the drive that he basically put together, you know, for
Speaker 1: relief for Houston during that aside from the three time
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year Laurels and his NFL career.
Speaker 1: So I heard someone in the radio said, you know,
Speaker 1: I think he you know, I think he's got a
Speaker 1: chance to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. I'm
Speaker 1: like you there with jus uh. Yeah, he's a first
Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer. Yeah, there's no debate. You know
Speaker 1: that when some of the quarterbacks go out, well go
Speaker 1: my god withless Burgers, Uh, farewell was conny as I
Speaker 1: don't know what. Maybe that has something to do with
Speaker 1: him not wanting to to be sent out that way,
Speaker 1: because you know the way they had it with withless Burgers.
Speaker 1: They had shots from behind where he and the family
Speaker 1: were walking off into the sunset and all this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. I'm like, man, this guy must have a
Speaker 1: spotless reputation off the field. Ha ha ha. And and
Speaker 1: having said that, he could have waited, I like you,
Speaker 1: ben bag, just in case anybody missed. Having said that,
Speaker 1: I guess JJ Watt could have waited a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks to make the announcement too. Yeah, but they closed,
Speaker 1: they play at Atlanta and then their last game is
Speaker 1: at San Francisco. So no, he deserves all this flows Yeah,
Speaker 1: No he does. He doesn't. He does. Yeah, And they're
Speaker 1: not like on the outside looking in at a playoff
Speaker 1: spot well, and it's not like he's gonna be on
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football. Yeah, like Roethlisburger since last game or
Speaker 1: whatever or Thursday night, Yeah, which the Cowboys are this week, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, a question for you, mister TV guy.
Speaker 1: So since the game's on Amazon Prime, it's on Fox
Speaker 1: four locally, locally, I believe it's on Fox four. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to I had that so we
Speaker 1: can channel yea. Which is which is the biggest issue
Speaker 1: that everyone has had with the Amazon Prime is that
Speaker 1: you got you got to have three remotes there. You
Speaker 1: got to go check ww the Mavericks are doing. You
Speaker 1: can't hold on. You can't check how the Mavericks are
Speaker 1: doing because they're not carried on anything. That's why, Um
Speaker 1: what Sunday, right, was it Sunday? You could watch football
Speaker 1: and the Mavericks at the same time, right, could go
Speaker 1: back and forth because they were on the national oh yeodcast. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: speaking of off the off the wall channels, YouTube, what's
Speaker 1: going on with YouTube and Monday night Football? No NFL ticket,
Speaker 1: NFL ticket, So what's what's where the NFL tickets going?
Speaker 1: So I don't have to get to a TV anymore,
Speaker 1: but you gotta get YouTube TV. Gotta get YouTube TV. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, so do Actv's not gonna have the ticket.
Speaker 1: That's what I understand. That's what that's my understanding. Trouble,
Speaker 1: that's trouble. BTV. You're going to do something, man, just
Speaker 1: put it on one television, you see. Then here we
Speaker 1: go again. Yeah, I know that's another subscribe, right, but
Speaker 1: at least there are on Yeah, because somebody asked me
Speaker 1: that and I said, yeah, I think so. I'm not sure,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Fox. Okay, that's good. So now there's YouTube channel,
Speaker 1: and there's YouTube. Yes, there's a YouTube channel, and then

Speaker 1: laughing and go and something comes over my headset. It
Speaker 1: says eight hours and thirty minutes left, something about timing.
Speaker 1: It timed out on my headset. So anyway you hit
Speaker 1: the bluetooth button, that's happened. Dak Prescott this year's Cowboys
Speaker 1: nominee for the twenty twenty two Walter Payton NFL Fan

Speaker 1: for outstanding community service off the field and excellence on
Speaker 1: the field. Help Dak earn a twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: donation to his Faith Fight Finished Foundation by voting on Twitter,
Speaker 1: tweet or retweet hashtag wpmoy challenge followed by Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: through January eighth, vote dec I Menstein, we have left.
Speaker 1: Now what do you mean, oh on your bluetooth? Well
Speaker 1: they're out. Okay. Mickey checked the practice field and there's
Speaker 1: no one on the practice field right now. It's like
Speaker 1: it might be a twelve thirty start. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: So there's your latest from the Cowboys practice field. And
Speaker 1: we posed the question early in the show have the
Speaker 1: Cowboys ever and the history of the franchise had a
Speaker 1: stretch like the current one where they have four games
Speaker 1: with forty or more points in the last eight games played,
Speaker 1: and researchers Supreme Chris Bean has the answer for us,
Speaker 1: mister Bean, go ahead. It has never happened. The most
Speaker 1: fifty point games in a season the forty plus and
Speaker 1: the season was nineteen seventy one, and that was the
Speaker 1: first two games of this season against Buffalo and Philly
Speaker 1: on the road. And then, like Bill told me, the
Speaker 1: first game at the New England Patriots, first game at
Speaker 1: Texas Stadium October twenty four, nineteen seventy one, they scored
Speaker 1: forty four against the Patriots. And then they had two
Speaker 1: games in December fifty two and forty two back to
Speaker 1: back weeks since the Giants and the Jets. So they
Speaker 1: had five in that season, but those five were not
Speaker 1: in an eight game stretch like what the Cowboys currently have.
Speaker 1: And Everson, what happened in that nineteen seventy one season,
Speaker 1: can you recall I was only eleven, but I do
Speaker 1: recall celebrating sometime in January. It was the first time
Speaker 1: the Cowboys won the Super Bowl. Yes, was in that season,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one, closing with ten straight wins. So that
Speaker 1: I asked myself, Okay, which team do you think was
Speaker 1: Tom's favorite? Would it be the Oh, I can't remember
Speaker 1: if that's a sixty six squad? That six was pretty
Speaker 1: good as the Detroit when they beat Detroit five nothing
Speaker 1: in times. No, that was nineteen seventy seven. That was
Speaker 1: seventy as well. Yeah, in the playoff game five nothing wow.
Speaker 1: That was nineteen seventy And that season the Cowboys went
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and controversially lost it to Baltimore
Speaker 1: Colts with the tip pass and a fumble on the
Speaker 1: goal line that was recovered Bud Day. Mine was the
Speaker 1: John Mackie catch. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, So his
Speaker 1: favorite team probably was the seventy one team you think,
Speaker 1: h yeah, the first Super Bowl winning team. And okay,
Speaker 1: so there were five forty point games in that season
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys right now are at four forty point
Speaker 1: games this season. They went to the Super Bowl that year,
Speaker 1: So what does that say to you, Bill? What do
Speaker 1: you think that that tells me that they've got two
Speaker 1: chances Thursday night in Tennessee or the season finale at
Speaker 1: Washington to get over forty points and that will match
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one for the regular season. So aergo, and
Speaker 1: perhaps that vodes well for the postseason, and that counts
Speaker 1: for the defense scoring points two. Well, it's a total
Speaker 1: number of points to point. All right, we don't care
Speaker 1: how you get it there, you just get there. So
Speaker 1: there you go. How big that gas bill was? Right now?
Speaker 1: Yet you're gonna find out at the end of the
Speaker 1: show whether the Cowboys are going to get forty points
Speaker 1: on Thursday night at Tennessee. All right, Mickey, we're diving
Speaker 1: into Tennessee. What was the question you posed Tennessee? What
Speaker 1: concerns you about the tennis because and I'll set this
Speaker 1: up for you, because according to this they got off
Speaker 1: to a seven and three start, seven and three start.
Speaker 1: They have now lost five straight games. Let me that
Speaker 1: was part of my research this morning. But here a
Speaker 1: few other things. Since you're talking forty point one, two three,
Speaker 1: So if you add up the totals of three of
Speaker 1: their five losses, they don't get to forty points. They
Speaker 1: lost to Philadelphia thirty five to ten on December fourth.
Speaker 1: The following week against Jacksonville they lost thirty six to
Speaker 1: twenty two. And then you go back to the second
Speaker 1: week of the season against Buffalo, they lost forty one
Speaker 1: to seven. Those are the most points they've given up
Speaker 1: in those losses that they have this season. But in
Speaker 1: these losses over the last five they have scored sixteen, ten,
Speaker 1: twenty two, fourteen and fourteen. That's how many points their
Speaker 1: offenses scores. Yes, yeah, what they've put on the board.
Speaker 1: All right, here's the interesting thing about that they got
Speaker 1: off to a seven and three start to start the season. Okay,
Speaker 1: but those wins. They started the season with two straight
Speaker 1: losses and then seven wins against Las Vegas by two points.
Speaker 1: Just keep in mind the opponents, the Raiders by two points,
Speaker 1: the Colts by seven, the Commanders by four. They beat
Speaker 1: the Colts again by nine, They beat the Texans by seven.
Speaker 1: Then they lost to Kansas City by three, which might
Speaker 1: be the best game they played in that stretch, even
Speaker 1: though it was a loss because of the opponent and
Speaker 1: it was overtime, and so they were five and three
Speaker 1: at that point. Then they beat Denver, which just fired
Speaker 1: their head coach by a seven. Then this is probably
Speaker 1: their best win. It was a Thursday night game at
Speaker 1: Green Bay. They win twenty seven seventeen. Packers were not
Speaker 1: going well at that point, though Packers have improved here
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks. Remember what happened after that game.
Speaker 1: They landed back in Nashville at four o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator got pulled over on the way home. Right
Speaker 1: week or so later, they fired their GM John Robinson.
Speaker 1: Look at the schedule after that, they were seven and three.
Speaker 1: Their next four games losses to Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, and
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Jacksonville. We'll see if they make the playoffs,
Speaker 1: but the other three teams are playoff bound. And then
Speaker 1: Houston last week. Yeah, Houston has a better football team
Speaker 1: than them right now. That's why they lost to Houston.
Speaker 1: Houston is a pretty good Houston showed at the against
Speaker 1: Dallas and against Kansas City. Took Dallas and Kansas City
Speaker 1: right down. And then and then they won at Tennessee.
Speaker 1: That's right, But the quality of the opposition there Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Give them credit. They won those games. But you went
Speaker 1: through that whole list and none of those teams are
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs that, yeah, but at that time,
Speaker 1: the only pushback on that is at that time those
Speaker 1: teams would they weren't what they are right now already
Speaker 1: ago they want trending down with the way they are now.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say they were trending upward, but they want
Speaker 1: trending down with at the time that they were playing
Speaker 1: these teams. It's like at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 1: before the season started, everyone's talking about the easiest schedule
Speaker 1: in the league. Are the NFC East teams? Okay, because
Speaker 1: they're playing the NFC East teams twice and they're coming
Speaker 1: off last they're basing it off last year's records. Okay,
Speaker 1: well look at this year's records. And now, if if
Speaker 1: you look at the end of the season, you'll probably
Speaker 1: look back and say, you know, the Cowboys, the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and the Giants, they all played tough schedules this year.
Speaker 1: Commanders as well, that's right. What's the Cowboys were tied
Speaker 1: I think with Washington for the easiest supposedly, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: the biggest issue Tennessee has right now is the fact
Speaker 1: that they don't have their quarterback Ryan Tannehill, and so
Speaker 1: they're going with the rookie Malik Willis, third round pick
Speaker 1: out of Liberty. And if you look at Willis last
Speaker 1: week against Houston, he was four team out of twenty
Speaker 1: three for ninety nine yards, two interceptions, no touchdowns, was
Speaker 1: sacked four times. He ran the ball seven times for
Speaker 1: forty three yards in a touchdown. When you look back
Speaker 1: at his first game, his first game he played in
Speaker 1: was against Houston at just prior to mid season, six
Speaker 1: out of ten for fifty five yards an interception. He
Speaker 1: remember the Kansas City game that Tennessee played well against
Speaker 1: Kansas City, the twenty to seventeen game, and he started
Speaker 1: that game and it was a well coached, good offensive
Speaker 1: game plan for that matchup. He was five out of
Speaker 1: sixteen for eighty yards, so sacked three times. He ran
Speaker 1: eight times for forty yards in that game. And if
Speaker 1: your defense comes along with you, and I'm talking in
Speaker 1: Tennessee's case, if your defense comes along with you, then
Speaker 1: you have a chance to win the game. And that's
Speaker 1: the only thing that worries me about it is, you know, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: what has us exactly what they want us, you know,
Speaker 1: coming in feeling comfortable, hoping that we can play down
Speaker 1: to our competition the way we're coming off a game
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia week that would travel things that nature. All
Speaker 1: of those things both wealth and tend to see. You
Speaker 1: would think on paper. But to me, if you go
Speaker 1: into a game like this, I don't want a quarterback
Speaker 1: to know where I'm going to be. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: come in with vanilla Oh, we'll get good enough to
Speaker 1: beat this team and we just go basic defense all
Speaker 1: game long. Well, if you go out and your offense
Speaker 1: starts to stutter and then you give this offense a chance,
Speaker 1: then you'll get a big scrambled by Willis, maybe a
Speaker 1: lucky play down the field. They got the athletes as well.
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, crowds into it and we got
Speaker 1: another Jacksonville situation. You don't want to give them a
Speaker 1: chance early in the game like he did Philadelphia. Where
Speaker 1: to pick six. I'm going to throw some things at
Speaker 1: this young quarterback to make him shake his head early
Speaker 1: in the game and have him unconfident for the rest
Speaker 1: of the game. Show him things he's never seen. I'm
Speaker 1: not coming out with vanilla coverage. I'm going to make
Speaker 1: sure that we confuse him early on so we can
Speaker 1: make We're going to keep him confusing down for the
Speaker 1: entire game. Derrick Henry has three straight games with one
Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing. Against Jacksonville he went for one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty one yards on seventeen carries. Against the Chargers
Speaker 1: one hundred and four yards on twenty one and this
Speaker 1: game against Houston one hundred and twenty six yards on
Speaker 1: twenty three carries, touchdowns in each of those games. His
Speaker 1: last previous one hundred yard game was that Kansas City
Speaker 1: games seventeen carries, one fifteen and two touchdowns. The Titans
Speaker 1: lost all four of those games. If you go back
Speaker 1: in Derrick Henry's career, if he got one hundred yards
Speaker 1: in a game, they win that game. This season, his
Speaker 1: last four one hundred yard games they haven't won. Why
Speaker 1: the difference this year is that defense is not as good.
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. That And the reason
Speaker 1: that GM got fired was that trade that was made
Speaker 1: on draft day, a J. Brown leaving Tennessee and going
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles. And now they have no receiver
Speaker 1: to think that you can think of, now that's nearly
Speaker 1: his cow. Yeah, they drafted one from Arkansas Trail on
Speaker 1: Burke's in the first round. But he's a rookie. Rookie yeah.
Speaker 1: And Robert Robert Woods was a guy that they signed
Speaker 1: in free agency from the Rams last year. He cannot
Speaker 1: and he was coming off everywhere he goes. He just
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to produce the other thing on their offensive line.
Speaker 1: Last game, they started two guys on their offensive line
Speaker 1: against the Texans who haven't started all year. So they
Speaker 1: got injury issues on their offensive line. And speaking of
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, we have a six time Pro bowler who
Speaker 1: has truth on his hoodie and he must have heard
Speaker 1: something that got riled up. I am so excited, man.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk Douglas into making what you just
Speaker 1: said a cow bays that do not go out and
Speaker 1: get his young quarterback. I mean, I hate to do
Speaker 1: it in the brother. Yeah, I hate to do it
Speaker 1: to the brother. But let's confused the brother. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was that was y'all should have just walked out out there.
Speaker 1: He said, y'all should have dropped the mic. Mickey's tried
Speaker 1: to drop the mic throughout the show. I said that
Speaker 1: I said that last week about er Minshow Yeah, did
Speaker 1: that work? Don't let him get comfortable, Yeah, don't let
Speaker 1: him start seeing the fil I just dropped the game.
Speaker 1: I don't have nothing to say, but I just wanted
Speaker 1: to come. You know, that was just listening to the wisdom,
Speaker 1: but I was just thinking I heard that before. But
Speaker 1: I just don't want us to be judged on Bill's
Speaker 1: gad filling up his trucks. I just what if you
Speaker 1: don't only get five dollars to sixty still filled up
Speaker 1: from Yeah? If we get five dollars and sixty five,
Speaker 1: ye a topping off my tank? Why did you need
Speaker 1: more as a short week? By the way, because I
Speaker 1: just topped off the tank last Thursday, I remember, because
Speaker 1: it was so cold, I wasn't gonna sit at the got.
Speaker 1: I said I should have got forty yen. He said,
Speaker 1: a thirty yen. I would have. Wow, I did. I
Speaker 1: did win the pick last week. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you bad. Thirty to twenty six. Yeah, I was closest
Speaker 1: to the final score. But that don't mean that's a win.
Speaker 1: That's me. I just plays. I played down to my
Speaker 1: competition right here. That means you just failed lessen we did.
Speaker 1: Do you think they're gonna hand if Henry plays, they're
Speaker 1: gonna hand him the ball? He's had three hundred nineteen
Speaker 1: carries already. If he plays, you got the brother. Otherwise
Speaker 1: was the point of planner? Would you play? Would you
Speaker 1: play him? Nate? It's two guys I know On didn't play.
Speaker 1: They got a diva's a tackle Simmons seventh. Uh, he
Speaker 1: was not play in and Henry. It would be like,
Speaker 1: hey man, come as warm as you can. I'll say,
Speaker 1: hey man, we need to support. I wouldn't if I
Speaker 1: am up the old school. If you dress, you play,
Speaker 1: do not even dress. These guys don't even enter because
Speaker 1: your whole season is not riding on this game at all.
Speaker 1: So if Jacksonville played their quarterback and they're running back
Speaker 1: and there main while, that's dumb this one time, I'm
Speaker 1: that's dumb. Why would you even entertain that thought? I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. You know, I haven't said that. Oh if
Speaker 1: that's the way they approach the game, then how should
Speaker 1: we approach the game? We gotta win it, gotta win it.
Speaker 1: But because here's the other thing. Yeah, here's the other thing.
Speaker 1: Vision title, right, how you win? You? I wouldn't. No,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't come. Don't look at it that day ever since,
Speaker 1: don't do that. Don't don't, don't don't, don't don't. I
Speaker 1: would play our guys, yeah, you know, because you you're
Speaker 1: trying to build momentum. You're trying to build on something
Speaker 1: you did. We we finally our offense finally faced I
Speaker 1: think a nice defense last week and they performed. So
Speaker 1: you want to build on that offensively, you know, defensively,
Speaker 1: Why do you build on that? Dude, Let's say we're
Speaker 1: up twenty nothing or thirty five nothing. I don't know
Speaker 1: any different story. Yeah, well exactly, That's why I'm asking
Speaker 1: the different questions. So you're not would you would you
Speaker 1: would take would you take them out? Yeah? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would take I would take key guys out. Some guys
Speaker 1: will have to continue to play, but I would take
Speaker 1: key guys out. But the thing is, this is what
Speaker 1: I've always hated for the last six or seven years.
Speaker 1: At the end of a year, it's two minute scenarios
Speaker 1: right the way we used to do it. You was playing,
Speaker 1: I heard about you talking about the pads and all
Speaker 1: of that. It never crossed my mind that you wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna be in passed when we wasn't in past we
Speaker 1: had one time, I'm gonna give the story. We got
Speaker 1: cussed out so bad before going into practice, didn't let
Speaker 1: us know that we was in not in pads. I said, hey, coach,
Speaker 1: just just put us in pass. If we got just
Speaker 1: put us in pass. I remember coach Landry would give
Speaker 1: us days off that he did not want to give
Speaker 1: us that, so he would say, Okay, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: this for you guys, but if one of you misses, yeah,
Speaker 1: and everybody's gonna be playing like okay, come coach, never mind,
Speaker 1: we have one days off if it's going to be
Speaker 1: those Remember the night off you got in uh in Austin. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what happened the next day? Yeah, it was ugly. It
Speaker 1: was ugly. He made up rud sprints and everybody was
Speaker 1: losing in whatever they had. Like you said, it's not
Speaker 1: worth it, it's not worth it. But the key to this,
Speaker 1: and I tell everybody, is all thirty two teams are
Speaker 1: set on the same schedule. Not not so much as
Speaker 1: how how you practice, but you ain't hitting but once
Speaker 1: a week up until a certain amount in the year.
Speaker 1: Then after that pass coming off, whether the coach wanted
Speaker 1: to or not, pads are coming off. So it's equal
Speaker 1: Now it truly comes down to who has the more
Speaker 1: responsible players and who has the most the largest group
Speaker 1: of players that are willing to be responsible is that
Speaker 1: are great players and your coaches. Because the the dregs,
Speaker 1: I don't want to call them dregs, but the players
Speaker 1: that cannot play don't mess up anyway, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. All Right, we got our picks to click
Speaker 1: and picks for the game. Just how much is in
Speaker 1: the Cowboys ten in Dennis? See if we come back,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and if you can pick eight players?
Speaker 1: We paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a pepsi zero sugar?
Speaker 1: Great job, honey, Oh oh, look at that. That's not
Speaker 1: the end, no way. Now it's time for the encore.
Speaker 1: You know what, You're right? Five times not enough times
Speaker 1: for everyone who traded in rock concerts for their kids recitals.
Speaker 1: You've compromised enough. Pepsi zero sugar, That's what I like.
Speaker 1: Nobody protects you from mayhem, like all state. You hear
Speaker 1: that I'm a torrential downpour? Torrential what does that even mean?
Speaker 1: It means you can't see out of your windsh are

Speaker 1: have to make it rain to fix your bumper. So
Speaker 1: switch to All State, save money and be better protected
Speaker 1: from Mayhem like me based on coverage in them, its

Speaker 1: I guess this goes without saying, but I don't remember
Speaker 1: us saying it that the You know, the Cowboys clinched
Speaker 1: a playoff spot, right, they've also clinched the fifth seat
Speaker 1: because no one can catch them no matter what they
Speaker 1: do in these last two games. Say say what you
Speaker 1: said in the break about the twelve win season. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and by the way, they are one win away. And
Speaker 1: if they do it Thursday night, it would be twelve
Speaker 1: wins in a sixteen game season, by the way, because
Speaker 1: they got seventeen, right, but they would have back to
Speaker 1: back twelve win seasons for the first time since ninety
Speaker 1: four ninety five, actually ninety three ninety four. About that
Speaker 1: and what happened those years? Bill? They went to three
Speaker 1: straight NFC. And I remember what we said earlier, the
Speaker 1: last time the Cowboys had five forty point games? Are
Speaker 1: born a season they won their first Super Bowl? They
Speaker 1: got a chance to go saying a word. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it either. I'm just bring it, bringing it up. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right? Ever since Nater, are you gonna participate? I
Speaker 1: always asked producer Supreme secretly asked me to ask you
Speaker 1: what your predicted score was last week twenty one, twenty one,
Speaker 1: twenty okay, all right, I don't know why you asked
Speaker 1: me to ask you that, but by one point one point?
Speaker 1: That's have you done that all season? All right? So
Speaker 1: what you what you're score in this game? Man, we
Speaker 1: should beat the brakes off. Beating by two points, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be about three. If it's a blowout, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a boy three. I like the philosophy. The score island. Okay,
Speaker 1: they'll kick a walk off, all right, I got the
Speaker 1: I have this game once again. Beat the brakes off.
Speaker 1: My score will indicate really bringing the breaks off. Thirty
Speaker 1: one to thirteen is the outcome of this game. And
Speaker 1: we're gonna get there as simply as we can offensively.
Speaker 1: We got off last week with the big place, the
Speaker 1: CD and all of that. CD is not gonna be
Speaker 1: the guy this week. It's gonna be all three tight ends.
Speaker 1: Are going to have all three three three of them
Speaker 1: playing or four at five on the field the other day.
Speaker 1: I'm going three eighty eighty seven, eighty nine, eighty six.
Speaker 1: Those are my guys. I think they're gonna have a
Speaker 1: great game. See mckewan never gets any love. Mqwon ain't
Speaker 1: getting the love for men. I hadn't seen mqw and
Speaker 1: catch one pass. That's because he's playing full back. Then
Speaker 1: let him keep doing that. He is not part of
Speaker 1: my pick to click. Okay, So he gets sold. It's
Speaker 1: like you're picking three tight ends. I'm picking. I'm making Frisco.
Speaker 1: We're gonna approve this. But is you pick him as
Speaker 1: a unit? I'm picking them as a unit. Okay, take
Speaker 1: them off, all right, I'm taking them off. I'm taking
Speaker 1: them off, throwing net in the water. Okay, no, come on, man,
Speaker 1: I picked the tight ends. So the tight ends need
Speaker 1: a courtesy driver. Yes, okay, all right, yeah, don't let them.
Speaker 1: You just watch. They're going to talk at tight ends
Speaker 1: in this guy. I'll make sure when we get on
Speaker 1: the charter to all the tight ends and they sit together.
Speaker 1: All right, me yep, I've got and Nate saw this,
Speaker 1: so I had it written down already before Everson made
Speaker 1: his choice. I have thirty one sixteen, And because the
Speaker 1: Titans will want to run and run and run some more,
Speaker 1: my pick to click is gonna be Demon Clark's Okay,
Speaker 1: he will stuff that run all right, because I still
Speaker 1: think Layton's probably gonna sit one more game. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be stuffing Hassan Haskins, not Derrick Henry. You don't think
Speaker 1: Henry's gonna play? Okay, we'll see, all right. He was
Speaker 1: on the injury port by the way, if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: was to try. Yes, he was, yep, yep, okay, um
Speaker 1: my my pick to click, I'm going I'm going to
Speaker 1: get a drum roll. I'm doing a lot of typing.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a lot of typing. My pick
Speaker 1: to click is the nephew of the freak. Remember Jivon Curse, right, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: he had a pretty good career with the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: So here comes jay Ron of Givon. Now he's coming
Speaker 1: off a pretty good game. Now, probably a week late
Speaker 1: on this, but I think jay Ron can do it
Speaker 1: again this week back in Tennessee where his uncle was
Speaker 1: a star defensive Rookie of the year at least a
Speaker 1: couple of Pro Bowls for Jivon Curse back in the day.
Speaker 1: So jay Ron with his my pick to click and
Speaker 1: I filled up my four f one fifty. That's a
Speaker 1: proud sponsor, right, I can s It'll be very proud.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see this or not
Speaker 1: on the camera. Here there it is. There's your score,
Speaker 1: fifty six dollars and five cents to fill up the
Speaker 1: four f one fifty. There's your score fifty six to five.
Speaker 1: It's pretty clever there, Bill, I gotta give anything. It
Speaker 1: was thirty to twenty six last week, it's fifty six
Speaker 1: to five this week. So you're not pulling the guys
Speaker 1: when they're up thirty to five. I'm pulling. I'm pulling
Speaker 1: for them to stay in the games. What I'm doing. Hey,
Speaker 1: your second team is conball, man, I tried. Did you
Speaker 1: see that? Did you see that Colt's fourth quarter? I
Speaker 1: think you did. And this is against another AFC South team. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter. You can get thirty three in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and get to fifty six. Go talk
Speaker 1: to Cooper Rush then all right, all right, you like
Speaker 1: my dragon? No, I don't like your pi. I like
Speaker 1: your pig c it's best jay Ron curse pick. I
Speaker 1: like that. All right, very good. So we're about out

Speaker 1: but they're not gonna. I just can't see them throwing
Speaker 1: too him. I can't. I don't. I don't see Willis
Speaker 1: having the guts to throw to a guy that he
Speaker 1: knows it's hot right now, can't see it. Well, he's
Speaker 1: got to throw at somebody. Running backs. You're gonna throw
Speaker 1: the running backs, so your boy clock and Diggs will
Speaker 1: do his job instead of jumping routes. So, Mickey, are
Speaker 1: you going to grand Ole Opry tomorrow night? And Nashville?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Okay, yeah you got any big plans?
Speaker 1: I haven't even thought about it yet. All right, Nashville
