Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys have now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. It is a Thursday inside the SWBC
Speaker 1: podcast studio here at the Star in Frisco, and we
Speaker 1: are into day number two of Coltsweek. Is Mickey Spagnola
Speaker 1: looks at his watch and yes, you're enough, it says, Hi, noon,
Speaker 1: It's time for the start of another edition of mix
Speaker 1: shots and a practice pretty soon. That's right, that's what
Speaker 1: you're looking at your watch for. You have an alarm
Speaker 1: set on your watch for when starts. It's later. They
Speaker 1: change it so many times. Uh huh. Trysner schedule, yeah,
Speaker 1: winter schedule, uh huh. And so what times practice start today?
Speaker 1: I believe twelve fifteen, fifteen, same as yesterday. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: go a little longer today. They're going an hour in
Speaker 1: five minutes. Well, so we might see a little bit
Speaker 1: of it. There's like an hour yesterday, I think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's our hour and a half I think today. Because
Speaker 1: the locker room opens at one forty five, I think today.
Speaker 1: So since we can't go out when everybody else gets
Speaker 1: invited out, Yeah, is it okay if we go out,
Speaker 1: then when we can go out, you just whenever you
Speaker 1: would like to go out. Yeah, just stn't tell anyone
Speaker 1: that you're watching practice my old draw down. I'm in
Speaker 1: a whole different category. I'm not part of you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm not part of your media guys. So I can
Speaker 1: just kind of so you and Charles Haley yet you want,
Speaker 1: so you could just go walk out there in the
Speaker 1: middle of the field, that would be Charles. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: I am not quite there. I could sneak out and
Speaker 1: then when I noticed, they would polite me escort me
Speaker 1: off the field. But no, I can cut sneak out there,
Speaker 1: charl Yeah, they won't catch me too. About I'm walking.
Speaker 1: They were just finishing yesterday and I'm walking through the
Speaker 1: training table where everybody eats, and uh, I'm almost past it,
Speaker 1: and I hear somebody yell hey shrimp, and I I
Speaker 1: didn't even have to look. I didn't even turn around.
Speaker 1: I said, Charles, what do you want? And I was
Speaker 1: about twenty yards away from them. I thing, you know,
Speaker 1: see how much of a closer a relationship you have
Speaker 1: with those players from the nineties the end of the
Speaker 1: day man, because you had great access to them. Because
Speaker 1: he's not covering them anymore. He's not writing bad stuff
Speaker 1: about not being drafted and why waste time on the
Speaker 1: guard in the first round and talking about his rants
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. I'm sure he ranted on
Speaker 1: a few of the players back in the ninth I
Speaker 1: got a rent today, Oh you do what would you
Speaker 1: like to rant? Would you like to rant now? Or
Speaker 1: it just dawned on me. There we go down, Samurai.
Speaker 1: Here we go, right, we pause for a second, continue,
Speaker 1: And I passed this car and some guy is having
Speaker 1: a fit. Who's driving. He's got both hands up in
Speaker 1: the air waving and his head's going back and forth
Speaker 1: and around, and he's screaming. Right, I'm assuming he's talking
Speaker 1: on his phone, right, but both hands he's got the kneeworking,
Speaker 1: why don't why don't people have to use both hands
Speaker 1: to talk on the phone. Would see his hands free,
Speaker 1: and if you would have seen, if you would have
Speaker 1: seen his head going, you would have thought it was
Speaker 1: some kind of movie. Some of that. These guys having
Speaker 1: a fit or something, you know, keeping the speed and
Speaker 1: when saying in his lane? Oh yeah, see yeah, it's
Speaker 1: hands free. So he was using his hands free, using
Speaker 1: his knees. Yeah, I don't know. It was amazing. There
Speaker 1: was a distraction to you, Yes, it was Which lane
Speaker 1: was he in? Well, there's four right was he in?
Speaker 1: So he would if you start from the right. He
Speaker 1: was in lane two, I was in lane through. I
Speaker 1: don't understand why he was such a nuisance to you
Speaker 1: if he's going the speed limit and he's not. Because
Speaker 1: I saw this action in the car. See you, you
Speaker 1: would be a danger to the community. Now because because
Speaker 1: I'm looking at him, you're looking at him, and now
Speaker 1: you're being distracted, and you probably veered towards him a
Speaker 1: little bit. Absolutely not, now, absolutely not. Okay, maybe he
Speaker 1: had a self drive. He was in a self driving Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe that was it? Right? All right? Is here, let's continue,
Speaker 1: all right, and I'm gonna have a rant later in
Speaker 1: the show. We're going to do this now. Now, we'll
Speaker 1: wait until later in the show because we need to
Speaker 1: hear what Mickey has to say about the injury report.
Speaker 1: Injury Yesterday from yesterday, UM Anthony Barr was listed as
Speaker 1: limited uh, and Mike McCarthy said in his press conference
Speaker 1: that he looked good. Uh. They just want to see
Speaker 1: how he returns today. But they felt like he did
Speaker 1: a really good job. So there's a chance that he's
Speaker 1: ready to go. Uh. Jay Ryn Curse and DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 1: both limited. Curse said in the locker room that yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm good to go. He returned, but he's probably got
Speaker 1: a harness on his shoulder. So a dislocated shoulder as
Speaker 1: opposed to a separated shoulder, you would rather have a
Speaker 1: dislocated shoulder that are separated shoulder, Yeah, I think because
Speaker 1: you can you can relocate. You can relocate the shoulder,
Speaker 1: but a separated shoulder takes some time, right ye Black
Speaker 1: of marriage, Yeah right, you could be just back in,
Speaker 1: but if you're separated, then that's going to take some out.
Speaker 1: And then two guys, you know, they had five days
Speaker 1: between the game and then practice. They had five days
Speaker 1: basically five days off and you would have thought all
Speaker 1: the illnesses would have gone away, but they haven't. Trayvon
Speaker 1: Diggs and Michael Gallop are the two next ones. Not
Speaker 1: practice yesterday and they are not practicing again the day.
Speaker 1: They're probably telling them. No, they did tell them stay home,
Speaker 1: don't don't bring it. They're participating virtually, virtually, Yes, in
Speaker 1: the meeting. How do you feel you've been feeling anything? No, no,
Speaker 1: me either. I'm perfect now. Finally, it took me two
Speaker 1: weeks to get over it, and yesterday was the first
Speaker 1: day I felt one hundred percent. That's cool. I mean literally,
Speaker 1: it can. It can knock you out for a while,
Speaker 1: and I mean you can feel it. You just feel it.
Speaker 1: You're you're not energized, and I mean even just studying.
Speaker 1: I mean a little sitting in her eyes gets hired. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just you're just run down. Well, I'll tell my wife.
Speaker 1: She's got another week to go. So she's had it
Speaker 1: for a week. Yeah, okay, Yeah, we're cool. On my end,
Speaker 1: just hadn't had anything, thank goodness. I mean, I can
Speaker 1: understand how they player. I mean, now you expecting right, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're expecting them to play at at this level. You know,
Speaker 1: I can understand. Missus. Anyway, go up in the door,
Speaker 1: do please come on, man, come on, no, bring your
Speaker 1: butt on in here. He wants he got the best field.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We didn't mean your pirty break. Anybody had
Speaker 1: break and I saw your script. It's gonna take you
Speaker 1: ten seconds. I understand. I know that's Bradley. How you
Speaker 1: doing talk about how you doing it? Man? I'm all right.
Speaker 1: The Voice of the Cowboys, Bradsham feeling great? Sure you
Speaker 1: feeling great? Yeah, kind of close to me. You don't
Speaker 1: have a your headphones on, But we just heard a
Speaker 1: whole hole hole from the Voice of the Cowboys. What
Speaker 1: game was that from producer Supreme? Yeah? Hold on? Probably
Speaker 1: back in the nineties. Yeah, probably that sounded kind of sarcastic.
Speaker 1: I have no idea that could be ed, could be
Speaker 1: anything like something. We probably scored like ten touchdounds that
Speaker 1: day and he was just giving president out to everybody.
Speaker 1: Could be not one thing about brad when he does
Speaker 1: the game. You don't you don't snow, you don't sugar anything.
Speaker 1: I've never seen so much of it. Yeah, you got
Speaker 1: babe sitting over there. You don't know, he's just trying
Speaker 1: to play off of you, and you know, you're sitting
Speaker 1: there and you're like, you know, and the guy just
Speaker 1: broke through fifty touchdown then here we go again, Like Okay,
Speaker 1: you know I learned a long time ago. Bill knows this.
Speaker 1: When you do a game for a network, radio, television, statewide, national,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, then your listeners are not tuning in to
Speaker 1: hear that game, or viewers they're not tuning in to
Speaker 1: hear of that game. When you do a team's games,
Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter who's doing the game. They turned
Speaker 1: it on to hear the Cowboys, and so why am
Speaker 1: I gonna celebrate now? Sometimes the other team does something
Speaker 1: really spectacular and just as an athletic achievement, it deserves
Speaker 1: to be recognized. But I'm certainly not going to celebrate
Speaker 1: the other team. My audience is tuning in to hear
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys are doing, and so I can be
Speaker 1: I can be emotionally honest in that moment, and I
Speaker 1: have never disguised how I feel. You know, I worked
Speaker 1: for three years with Eric Nadel doing Rangers radio, and
Speaker 1: I learned from him. I still learn from him every day.
Speaker 1: But one of the things that he does best that
Speaker 1: objectively I would say I wish I could do, but
Speaker 1: I guess it wouldn't be me. Is you? Eric is
Speaker 1: right down? I know you know when he's happy, but
Speaker 1: you don't ever know when Eric is disgusted. And trust me,
Speaker 1: because I sat in a booth with him for one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games for three years in a row,
Speaker 1: and watching Rangers and he and he there are times
Speaker 1: when he's disgusted. Okay, when I'm disgusted everybody, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't hide it very well. I don't. Must be
Speaker 1: a trait coming from Chicago. Yeah maybe maybe, maybe maybe.
Speaker 1: So you know, we grew up watching a lot of
Speaker 1: bad football, so yeah, um yeah, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't hide it very well. So are you a
Speaker 1: White Sox fan? Like you know? I was raised This
Speaker 1: is riveting for the Cowboys podcast audiences. I was raised
Speaker 1: by Chicagoans who taught my brother and me to love
Speaker 1: Chicago teams. My very favorite teams were the nineteen fifty
Speaker 1: nine White Sox, and they had a real unique personality.
Speaker 1: And then ownership changed and they kind of lost their personality.
Speaker 1: And because of that, I became more of a more
Speaker 1: of a Cub fan. But I'm not one of the
Speaker 1: Cub fans who hates the White Sox. I wrote for
Speaker 1: the White Sox when they're playing I am. I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of Chicago. I think Cubby was was hoping that
Speaker 1: you were a Cubs fan, right, No, that's not where
Speaker 1: the Cubby comes from from. No, No, I'm a I'm
Speaker 1: a Cub fan. I'm an abashed Cub fan. But but
Speaker 1: but I don't dislike the White Sox. Most Cub fans
Speaker 1: hate the White Sox. Almost all white Sox fans hate
Speaker 1: the cut. We had a divided neighborhood producer spring. I
Speaker 1: can't tell you how many days and hours we argued
Speaker 1: about who was best, who had the best ballpark, who
Speaker 1: had the best manager on because it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: little bit like Houston and Dallas. Yeah, but well, the
Speaker 1: different thing is that the like the white Sox fans
Speaker 1: are are just kind of uh overcome with jealousy of
Speaker 1: all of the attention the Cubs get even when they're horrible,
Speaker 1: and they were horrible my whole childhood, but they were
Speaker 1: still getting all the attention. Okay, and the Cubs they
Speaker 1: don't really care. It's Dallas and Houston. Houston fans are
Speaker 1: so worked up about anything. Dallas Mavericks, you know, cowboys,
Speaker 1: and here we just don't really care, am I Right, No,
Speaker 1: I don't care what goes on down there. Sure you
Speaker 1: know you won an NBA championship. Isn't that right, That's
Speaker 1: that's really nice that you did that. In the Astros
Speaker 1: are good too, risk We're happy for you. How the
Speaker 1: Texans doing, And then they go sit in a corner
Speaker 1: and chuck the thumb and we don't care. And what
Speaker 1: kills them the most because we don't care is that
Speaker 1: we don't care. We don't care. Last time they went
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, Texans, the Texans and the Cowboys were
Speaker 1: done and their their website tweeted out the picture of
Speaker 1: an empty AT and T Stadium going too bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm going this team has been going to the
Speaker 1: playoffs for all these years, right, and you know, one
Speaker 1: time and they just don't They haven't found a way
Speaker 1: to live with our complete disregard for and we don't
Speaker 1: know that they're there. It's almost like they're figuratively under foot, right,
Speaker 1: kind of always down there. Oh what did I step in?
Speaker 1: Let me just knock? Yeah, Oh it's Houston. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I feel that way, but that's how
Speaker 1: kind of Dallas and in Houston they hate that, and
Speaker 1: White Sox and Cubs. I submit that there's a similar
Speaker 1: relationship between Look, didn't you I hate to bring this
Speaker 1: up to were you not on one or two of
Speaker 1: those five and eleven teams with Dave Campo? Where are
Speaker 1: you gone? But I was on the one in fifteen,
Speaker 1: you know, I know that, I know that. And then
Speaker 1: I was on Tom's three and a three and thirty stretch, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, is the worst team I've ever seen
Speaker 1: for the Cowbom. No, No, we were. No. Eighty nine
Speaker 1: was bad. Eighty eight we actually kind of father a
Speaker 1: little bit, but a lot of it was with each other.
Speaker 1: Eighty nine eighty nine, everything was shuffling through. Y'all were
Speaker 1: introduce see each other. Yes, yes, I mean there was
Speaker 1: no way. The way the whole eighty nine season was conducted,
Speaker 1: it was not with a plan for it to be
Speaker 1: that chaotic in the moment, but it was part of
Speaker 1: a plan, and it was a development stage. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it was the revolving door. Well, I mean they were
Speaker 1: they returning to Tom had no idea when the eighty
Speaker 1: eight season began that that team was going to perform
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah. Yeah, Now it was a new three
Speaker 1: year plan, right, And that's a whole other movie. Any
Speaker 1: time to get into one more thing before you have
Speaker 1: to go do whatever you're going to do. What is
Speaker 1: your biggest concern this week for this team against this
Speaker 1: team the Cults. Um, their defense is pretty good. Uh
Speaker 1: and and so I think I don't think the team
Speaker 1: that's out there practicing right now is going to not
Speaker 1: take them seriously. But they've got a few injuries that
Speaker 1: it's that time of year now, guys are going to
Speaker 1: play with injuries that would have the rest of us
Speaker 1: in the hospital. And uh and so you know, you've
Speaker 1: got to keep an eye on that. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: the running game, that's going to be a concern every week,
Speaker 1: every week, and they may do what they did to
Speaker 1: the Giants. And the key to it, I think is
Speaker 1: to have the offense really get going so that their
Speaker 1: defense has to pass. They can't they can't just run
Speaker 1: their way back in. But I think from the football
Speaker 1: team's standpoint, I would say, um, keeping having the right
Speaker 1: bodies healthy, keeping everybody healthy, and then um, you know,
Speaker 1: their defenses pretty good. It's going to be a challenging
Speaker 1: we have, we have death. I think that's what we do.
Speaker 1: I'm I am astonished by the numbers of what the
Speaker 1: offense has done in the last four or five weeks.
Speaker 1: I really didn't realize that it was going that good.
Speaker 1: That is something that can really stand up, especially if
Speaker 1: the defense keeps. We talked about yesterday how no one's
Speaker 1: talking about Cooper anymore. Yeah, not at all. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean the teammate that he's always been ready to
Speaker 1: and he did, he did what they asked him to do.
Speaker 1: He was great. You know that. Here's the thing, these
Speaker 1: games are all. Babe likes to say there's ways to
Speaker 1: win all these games, which means there's ways to lose
Speaker 1: them all. But if on paper, these are three winnable games,
Speaker 1: and if they do that, they are then the NFL
Speaker 1: equivalent of Bowl eligible, because then they're they're at eleven games,
Speaker 1: and I don't think with eleven, I don't think with
Speaker 1: ten the way the NFC is this year. But when
Speaker 1: you get to eleven, I don't think mathematically anybody can
Speaker 1: come catch you. So you have to get in and
Speaker 1: those last three are going to be interesting. So they
Speaker 1: really got to keep their foot down. I think they will.
Speaker 1: But the Indie defense gets my attention, and you know
Speaker 1: they're going to be like every team that gets off
Speaker 1: the bus to play the Cowboys. They're gonna get off
Speaker 1: something running the football too, and they're going to try
Speaker 1: to prove something there Sunday night. We'll we'll get better
Speaker 1: in front of the whole Country's right, everybody's going to
Speaker 1: see what we can do. And they're talking about the Colt.
Speaker 1: Nice to see sound all right? Mix shots. I want
Speaker 1: you to finish your read with ho ho ho. It's
Speaker 1: not on the script. I will because Douglas will edit
Speaker 1: it right out. Mickey will have a practice report and
Speaker 1: he'll have a report on the stretching Cowboys in just

Speaker 1: the practice field, I saw Tyrn Smith come back out
Speaker 1: do his uh resistant card work all pads this day.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's got all pads and they are
Speaker 1: in pads today. But we announced yesterday that the plan
Speaker 1: is for him to be back for Philadelphia. That's our
Speaker 1: plan for him. It's not their plan for him. It's
Speaker 1: our plan for him. And the other one. When we
Speaker 1: didn't get into James Washington practice yesterday and he did,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said that he did more than they anticipated,
Speaker 1: so they were going to cut back a little bit
Speaker 1: today just to make sure they don't overdo it right
Speaker 1: from the start, but that he showed that he is
Speaker 1: a strong wide receiver and we knew that the way
Speaker 1: he's built right, and so yeah, he and he was
Speaker 1: very happy with himself after the practice. Felt like they
Speaker 1: got him listed at five eleven. But I think he's
Speaker 1: taller than so I don't think so. He looks like
Speaker 1: I think it's five eleven is probably true, Probably right.
Speaker 1: I can look up his combine numbers as far as
Speaker 1: his height goes. He give me a little bit of time.
Speaker 1: What about how about Terrell Besham? Besham, he did not
Speaker 1: get picked up on Quavers yesterday five eleven, two sixteen.
Speaker 1: They got him listed at dang two sixteen. Wow, Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, that's thick. Yeah, well he's got shoulders. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but god, he got more for a guy that's speedy.
Speaker 1: Two fifteen Yeah. Wow, So man, I can't wait to see.
Speaker 1: They were really happy for what they saw on him.
Speaker 1: You know what, I just saw something I don't think
Speaker 1: I've seen before. Layton vander Esh was kind of playing
Speaker 1: catch with George Ed was the linebackers coach. And then
Speaker 1: he was standing at the twenty yard line and he
Speaker 1: took the ball and he spin it, you know how
Speaker 1: a guy's and it spun and while it was spinning,
Speaker 1: he kicked it and he almost made a thirty yard
Speaker 1: field goal. It almost made that far. I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever seen that before. You spin the ball, no
Speaker 1: one's holding it, and you go and just kick it.
Speaker 1: Do you think he was the kicker on his eight
Speaker 1: man football to anything whenever they needed in high school?
Speaker 1: He did it. I forgot we had another sixth man
Speaker 1: on the team, well not another but Dan Campbell. We
Speaker 1: ran it about Dan Campbell and yeah, how huge he
Speaker 1: looked out there with his squad in high school. I
Speaker 1: would imagine vanders is just not as overwhelming, but played
Speaker 1: a big man, played played everything his dad was telling
Speaker 1: me a story about he said he was coaching the
Speaker 1: basketball team or something, and um he talked about how
Speaker 1: when they just needed something, they gave it to Layton right.
Speaker 1: If we needed free throws, he got to send him
Speaker 1: to the line. Well, I heard that his select team
Speaker 1: from Idaho is that ways from Yes, Yes, and they
Speaker 1: would go to California and they said they'd run the
Speaker 1: basketball or basketball baseball, and I'm sure he picked the
Speaker 1: stopped two. They would run the table in basketball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they say the average close to thirty points a game. Yep.
Speaker 1: So that's that's a good athlete. There state titles in
Speaker 1: football and basketball as a junior and senior at Salmon
Speaker 1: River High School in Riggins, Idaho. Eight man football, quarterback
Speaker 1: and linebacker. Five man basketball. It was five man basketball
Speaker 1: and it wasn't half court six and whateveryone. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he's quite an athlete. No. I heard there was a
Speaker 1: stud in high school James, James Washington at the combine
Speaker 1: measured five eleven point zero exactly five feet eleven. It's
Speaker 1: just tall, two one hundred and thirteen pounds four five
Speaker 1: four forty. I thought he'd be faster. M You know,
Speaker 1: those clocks are really tough at the combines. It's like
Speaker 1: they speed him up or something, because you never you
Speaker 1: never run the time to you, all right, you think
Speaker 1: you ran? You know. He was pretty funny, he said,
Speaker 1: you know, he got so tired of watching and seeing
Speaker 1: all the young guys out there, and he goes, I
Speaker 1: was starting to feel like I was old, and it's
Speaker 1: like old, Oh yeah, well I'm twenty six, right, please,
Speaker 1: I'm twenty six. Like that validated everything, and I looked up,
Speaker 1: this is the most games he has missed in his
Speaker 1: entire career. I looked at his four years at Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: and he missed four games and I don't know if
Speaker 1: that was not eld or they decided not to play
Speaker 1: them or whatever, and no more than two in a season.
Speaker 1: But he was playing in fifteen or sixteen games every
Speaker 1: year until this injury. So I am very curious if
Speaker 1: he comes on, you know, I know that's you know,
Speaker 1: highly unlikely he goes out there and just everything just
Speaker 1: falls into place. But if he does do well reasonably well,
Speaker 1: how does that look in regards to this Beckham sweepstake, Right,
Speaker 1: I just don't think they're they're desperate to sign him.
Speaker 1: I think it's like, Okay, I got a nice ice
Speaker 1: cream coming. Okay, this is the cherry on top, but
Speaker 1: I don't need it. And those guys asked me today
Speaker 1: and they asked me my thoughts on it. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of ambivalent. It's like, yeah, if you get them,
Speaker 1: you get them. If you don't, it's not like the
Speaker 1: end of the world, you know. I would imagine the
Speaker 1: Giants think differently about their wide receiver cord and then
Speaker 1: I you know, Buffalo, they got a couple of good receivers. Right,
Speaker 1: who's the other guy other than Diggs, number thirteen. It's
Speaker 1: the guy that scores all the touchdowns over eighty yards? Yeah, Davis. Yes,
Speaker 1: his name is Gabe Davis. I believe is his name
Speaker 1: Gae d the man number thirteen. They're probably still trying
Speaker 1: to replace Beasley, right, I don't know. They hadn't need
Speaker 1: them here lately, but I would imagine Beckham would be
Speaker 1: a nice replacement for Beasley. Yeah, because at this time
Speaker 1: the third receiver is not that experience at all. Isaiah McKenzie,
Speaker 1: Is that who it is? Probably? And why do you
Speaker 1: have that in your book? I just have it because
Speaker 1: this is the study that I do all year long.
Speaker 1: But why Buffalo because there they were the pick to
Speaker 1: win the whole thing, so you gotta measure the Cowboys
Speaker 1: against the best. That's right. I got it right here, yep.
Speaker 1: And how did you find it so quickly? Because it's
Speaker 1: in my notebook? But how did you know where it was?
Speaker 1: Because it's it's in order on the Buffalo page, the
Speaker 1: alphabetic page. It's on the Buffalo page because he's a
Speaker 1: professional broadcaster right from Baltimore. Yeah, you know, I was
Speaker 1: going to ask, I said, why did the Cowboys have this?
Speaker 1: All these illnesses? Anybody else have any Well, Indianapolis has
Speaker 1: two guys out, well, actually one guy out with an illness,
Speaker 1: Kiki Kute Texas Tech. Yeah, did not because of illness.
Speaker 1: And then they had another guy, kyl and Grayson illness,
Speaker 1: but he practiced fully. Um, so I guess it's going
Speaker 1: around the whole time. I think that didn't. Didn't the
Speaker 1: Giants have a few out when we played, Yes they did. Yes,
Speaker 1: they were struggling on think on their offensive line if
Speaker 1: I remember. That's very true. So anyway, there's your kind
Speaker 1: of bad injuries. On their injury update. Hopefully they keep
Speaker 1: the illness out of the locker room. Keep it out
Speaker 1: of this studio, yes, WBC podcast studio. All right, So
Speaker 1: Brad said his biggest concern was their defense. The Colts
Speaker 1: defense their ranked sixth overall overall, and they really when
Speaker 1: I looked up, they weren't giving up that many points either.
Speaker 1: I don't remember if we talked about it yesterday. We
Speaker 1: touched on it yesterday a little bit. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I pointed it out that they only had like maybe
Speaker 1: two games more than twenty four points. They gave up
Speaker 1: twenty six to New England and twenty seven to Jackson.
Speaker 1: And the New England game was the Ellinger game where
Speaker 1: he was sacked nine times twenty six to three loss. Right,
Speaker 1: and that spelled the end of the Frank Reich era
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis Colts football. Well, they've given up forty three
Speaker 1: sacks Alinger eleven and Matt Ryan thirty two. That's that's
Speaker 1: pretty heavy, and that's what you expect from an old quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: just the weirds. And I saw this with limited receivers.
Speaker 1: I saw this. Note the Cowboys in back to back
Speaker 1: games have not given up a sack, and they have
Speaker 1: not done that in three consecutive games since ninety four,
Speaker 1: not giving up a sack, and that's all that. That's
Speaker 1: what credit goes all the way around. Offensive line, offensive
Speaker 1: line guys getting open and open, quarterback reading it right right,
Speaker 1: getting rid of it when he's supposed to right. All right,
Speaker 1: here's my concern is Indianapolis, just indian coming coming off
Speaker 1: a mini bye week and playing not only Indianapolis, but
Speaker 1: then Houston then Jackson Bill. What do you mean a
Speaker 1: mini bye week meaning you played Thanksgiving and you were
Speaker 1: off over the weekend. You mean Cowboys? Cowboys? I thought,
Speaker 1: I mean I meaning the opponent is the fact that
Speaker 1: it's Indianapolis and Indianapolis is not having a good season.
Speaker 1: They brought in a coach from the broadcast booth basically
Speaker 1: to be their head coach three weeks ago, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys just coming off a three game in twelve days
Speaker 1: stretch and playing very well Thanksgiving week over the Vikings
Speaker 1: and the Giants. But now you take a deep breath,
Speaker 1: and now, okay, you look at the schedule and you go,
Speaker 1: you know what we should be able to handle day?
Speaker 1: Like what I said the first day of the week
Speaker 1: here or after the Colts game on Monday night, I
Speaker 1: came in and said eleven and three. We're going to Philly.
Speaker 1: We're playing Philly and Christmas Eve eleven and three, and
Speaker 1: you're not in the locker room. All right. So Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy had his press conference today, yes talked about practice yesterday.
Speaker 1: It wasn't what up to the standard basically. I remember
Speaker 1: coming off I remember coming off the by I asked
Speaker 1: him coming out of the bye week, Um, is it?
Speaker 1: How difficult is it coming out of the byeway? You know,
Speaker 1: you got your team back from spring break and get
Speaker 1: him refocused and he said, it's a real it can
Speaker 1: be a real issue. Whatever. So now they came off
Speaker 1: of basically five days off and now you gotta, okay,
Speaker 1: restart the engine now. So that's that's to start the
Speaker 1: engine sometimes. Yeah, we get into that. Well, think about
Speaker 1: it when you when you go on vacation and then
Speaker 1: you got to come back and we've got Monday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Well? The vacation. The vacation is
Speaker 1: supposed to give you renewed energy. That's what it's. I
Speaker 1: remember I remember when when when we were in training camp, um,
Speaker 1: and we had several interns, college kids, and they would
Speaker 1: cowboys would play it like a Friday or Saturday, and
Speaker 1: you know, Sunday was off and we get back on Monday,
Speaker 1: and I'd have to read them the Riot Act. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: time to get back to work. Now we ain't we
Speaker 1: ain't off anymore, right, And it took a while to
Speaker 1: get everybody in tune to what we needed to do.
Speaker 1: So I could see that happening. But they got to
Speaker 1: protect against it obviously. That and Jonathan Taylor, all right,
Speaker 1: keep talking, keep talking. You're going to look at what
Speaker 1: they've done after Bob can't find it as well. That's
Speaker 1: what it was that year. Okay, twenty eighteen at Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: the twenty three to nothing game. Yeah, that was not
Speaker 1: I had to refresh my memory. That was not the
Speaker 1: week after Thanksgiving. It was two weeks after Thanksgiving, so
Speaker 1: they were back in So the Cowboys had played Philadelphia
Speaker 1: the week before and one twenty nine twenty three, then
Speaker 1: went to Indianapolis and got shut out twenty three to nothing.
Speaker 1: Cowboys had won five straight games and they went to
Speaker 1: Indianapolis and laid an egg twenty three to nothing. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: when you look at who takes over the team, the
Speaker 1: intensity that they had, they still have. The games are
Speaker 1: still manageable. They're still close enough to where they could
Speaker 1: have wanted with one play here, one play there. It
Speaker 1: didn't change what they were able to do, but they
Speaker 1: did not lose any intensity of productivity as a team.
Speaker 1: They still kept it a status quo. And that's kind
Speaker 1: of tough to do when you lose a very good
Speaker 1: head coach in Frank, and then when you bring on
Speaker 1: an amateur and Jeff and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you expect them to be worse. But they weren't. They
Speaker 1: seem to be maintaining and that's something that you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to give Jeff too much credit, but
Speaker 1: that's something that you have to give the team create
Speaker 1: the four it's like, Okay, we're not just saying okay,
Speaker 1: the season's over. They're actually still playing very hard football.
Speaker 1: All right, you know what, I guess I checked this out.
Speaker 1: So the Eagles played Houston on November third, one, twenty nine, seventeen,
Speaker 1: and then they must have had their bye because they
Speaker 1: didn't play again until November fourteenth. Okay, lost to Washington
Speaker 1: thirty two twenty one. Coming off there bye bye or
Speaker 1: many it may might have been a Thursday game. I
Speaker 1: can't remember, yeah, what was the date of it? November
Speaker 1: third to November fourteenth. It was a night game on
Speaker 1: the third, it would have been a Thursday game. That
Speaker 1: was a Thursday game, all right. And then it was
Speaker 1: a night game again on the when they played Washington. Okay,
Speaker 1: well let's see before they were coming off a many
Speaker 1: buy and what they do again they got beat by okay,
Speaker 1: all right, and before they play the Cowboys. Now they're
Speaker 1: playing on the eighteenth, so it's Sunday Saturday. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: we continue with more mix shots and I've got a
Speaker 1: rant when we come back here. Oh I can't wait.
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 look at that. That's not the end,
Speaker 1: no way. Now it's time for the encore. You know what,
Speaker 1: You're right? Five times? Not enough times for everyone who
Speaker 1: traded in rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised
Speaker 1: enough Pepsi zero sugar, that's what I like. Nobody protects

Speaker 1: you see Terrence Steele at practice? I let me answer
Speaker 1: that question for you. Did not, and I didn't look
Speaker 1: for him either. Cowboys right tackle Terrence Steele is not
Speaker 1: at practice today, a sick. And of course Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 1: and Michael Gallup missed yesterday missing again today, and so
Speaker 1: we're going to assume that Terrence Steele or do you
Speaker 1: know more than that. No, okay, and do whoever did
Speaker 1: that give you the bottom line on why they put
Speaker 1: that out like he could have been late to practice
Speaker 1: he's tackled. Gilkin tweet. Yeah, Cowboys right tackle Terrence Steele
Speaker 1: is not at practice today because does not say Coach
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy hinted that illness is impacting others, not just
Speaker 1: cornerback Trayvon Diggs and wide receiver Michael Gallup, who are
Speaker 1: missing practice for a second straight day. Injury report to
Speaker 1: come this afternoon. Oh okay, So we don't get to
Speaker 1: the bottom line, we just get it out there. We're
Speaker 1: just when during the open portion of practice, Terrence Steele
Speaker 1: was not out there, Okay, So there you go. I'm
Speaker 1: guessing he's got just got the bug yep. But that's
Speaker 1: what happens these days. So William, yes, you got something
Speaker 1: you want to say. All right. It came out today
Speaker 1: and this does impact the NFL and the NFL draft process.
Speaker 1: By the way, it came out today that the college
Speaker 1: Football Playoff will start in twenty twenty four, which is
Speaker 1: a great thing. It's a twelve team playoff. The Rose
Speaker 1: Bowl relented. They've agreed to it. And we're all good.
Speaker 1: Twelve team college football playoff that's gonna start in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. When does it start, William, here's the problem
Speaker 1: with you. Now, wait twenty twenty four season, twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: twenty five school. Yes, so two years from now. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got to wait another two years for it, but
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen in twenty twenty four. They also reported
Speaker 1: the calendar for this twelve team playoff, which would be
Speaker 1: four rounds of games. Okay, you got the top four
Speaker 1: teams in the country that will get first round by says,
Speaker 1: You've got eight other teams that are playing each other,
Speaker 1: and it will be Saturday, December twenty first is the
Speaker 1: first round of games, followed on New Year's Day by
Speaker 1: the quarterfinal games, and then you'll have the semifinal games
Speaker 1: a week to ten days after that, whatever the calendar says,
Speaker 1: and then the national championship game on January twentieth. Wow,
Speaker 1: here's my rant. Why in the world are you starting
Speaker 1: this December twenty first and running it through January twentieth.
Speaker 1: Start the thing this weekend? Well in that calendar year,
Speaker 1: when is this weekend? Well, I haven't looked at that calendar. Well,
Speaker 1: let's just use let's just use this year as an example, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and let's say it started this year and Christmas Day
Speaker 1: is December twenty fifth, so the first round of games
Speaker 1: would be December seventeenth. Okay, okay, all right. My point
Speaker 1: is get rid of these conference championship games. They mean
Speaker 1: nothing as especially if you're going to expand the playoffs
Speaker 1: to twelve teams. These teams are getting in anyway. And
Speaker 1: so start your play your first round games. The first
Speaker 1: Saturday in December, second Saturday in December, you play the quarterfinals.
Speaker 1: The losers of those games can go to a bowl game,
Speaker 1: and then New Year's Day you play your semifinals. You're
Speaker 1: back on the calendar that you have right now. The
Speaker 1: issue with it is you've got teams that are going
Speaker 1: to wrap up their season Thanksgiving weekend, okay, a twelve
Speaker 1: game season, and then they're going to start another four
Speaker 1: game season on December twenty first, a month later. And
Speaker 1: these are players who aren't getting paid, and you're asking them, okay,
Speaker 1: now over your Christmas break all on into next semester. Okay,
Speaker 1: January twentieth, you're playing four board games. Here. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: At this point, you've got players opting out of the
Speaker 1: bowl games, right and so and do with this transfer portal. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's say you're a third string guy for Ohio State. Okay,
Speaker 1: and your team just you're in the playoff, but you
Speaker 1: got to make a decision that Okay, I'm going in
Speaker 1: the transfer portal, but I'm I'm not even playing for
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Why do I stick around until January twentieth
Speaker 1: and I can't start my new semester at my new school.
Speaker 1: And I mean, it's just nonsense. But also you can
Speaker 1: look at the point where some guys are opting out.
Speaker 1: So then that third string guy who maybe not being
Speaker 1: the transport portal, he might have a chance that he
Speaker 1: might have a chance to play. All right, here's the
Speaker 1: thing when it comes to the NFL. Now you've got
Speaker 1: the semifinals being played January tenth, twelfth, Ever it is
Speaker 1: championship game January twentieth. All right, when's the senior boat
Speaker 1: January twenty seven? Basically? Okay, and so you're you're gonna
Speaker 1: expect those seniors to go immediately go to the senior boat.
Speaker 1: Then you need to rest and recovery whatever you expect
Speaker 1: them now to start training for the Combine, which is
Speaker 1: a month later, when your season just ended on January twentieth.
Speaker 1: You gotta recover from your season. You just played a
Speaker 1: sixteen game season. What is the what is the last
Speaker 1: date for the National Championship last year? What was the date?
Speaker 1: January tenth? That was it? Yeah, it only went to
Speaker 1: the tenth right, So now we're talking about going even
Speaker 1: for another ten days later and you're playing. You're playing
Speaker 1: three to four games over that December twentieth to January
Speaker 1: twentieth time frame. But you will have a few of
Speaker 1: players opting out, don't you think because it's not a
Speaker 1: bowl game, it's National championship you're in. Yep, you're You're
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of guy They're gonna stick around.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be going off and saying, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: done right, I got a shot at it. But this
Speaker 1: will increase the other guys that aren't in the playoffs
Speaker 1: to say adios, I'm not going to that bowls. Right.
Speaker 1: They already do that, Yeah, I know exactly, but it
Speaker 1: will be more when there's nothing tangible out there. So
Speaker 1: are they playing the first three rounds at home or there.
Speaker 1: The first round is played at a home stadium. Now
Speaker 1: they higher seeded team they have the choice of Also, if,
Speaker 1: for instance, if you're Ohio State and in December twentieth
Speaker 1: a home game. I mean, you could find a stadium
Speaker 1: that's indoors near you if they wanted to play in Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: They can play in Indianapolis if they wanted to, you know, right,
Speaker 1: But otherwise it's home, it's a home game. And then
Speaker 1: it's new it's bowl games on New Year's Day, neutral
Speaker 1: the second round and the Bulls. Those bowls have already
Speaker 1: been determined. Yeah, for the quarterfinals. Yeah, and then the semifinal,
Speaker 1: semifinals are in bowls Cotton Bowl host uh, the first
Speaker 1: semi final, and then the championship at a bowl. It's
Speaker 1: actually I can't remember what it is. They've already determined
Speaker 1: the suffer Does it have to be a bowl? Can
Speaker 1: they know? If you have if you have got teams
Speaker 1: going to the national to the championship, to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: then the bowl selections are gonna be very I mean
Speaker 1: they're gonna change. They're gonna be so fluid, aren't they,
Speaker 1: Because you know, you might have a team that you
Speaker 1: wanted to play in the bowl game, but they might
Speaker 1: they might be in the They're not gonna let the
Speaker 1: Bulls have like two games, our bowl game and a playoff.
Speaker 1: That's what. No, No, you're you're that is your bowl game? Okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: in this it's Atlanta in twenty twenty four twenty five
Speaker 1: says College Football Playoffs selection Atlanta for twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: national champions and then what is the and then the
Speaker 1: next year twenty twenty five, uh, twenty twenty five, twenty
Speaker 1: six to South Florida. Yeah, that's meaning the twenty five
Speaker 1: twenty sixth season. All right, so at least it's either
Speaker 1: indoors or at a warm weather site. But it's just nonsense.
Speaker 1: You're starting your preseason workout, these college unpaid college players
Speaker 1: are starting their preseason practices when NFL training camps open
Speaker 1: basically August first, and there you expect them to play
Speaker 1: all the way to the Super Bowl basically January twenty. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think then move the Senior Bowl now after
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, they might, you know, and move the
Speaker 1: Combine back to I don't know, I'm just I don't know,
Speaker 1: but but it's just nonsense. When when you can very
Speaker 1: easily keep the same calendar that you have right now
Speaker 1: and play your first two rounds first two weeks in
Speaker 1: December and then and then do the bowl games for
Speaker 1: the semi finals. Just like, Yeah, the conference championship games
Speaker 1: will confuse things. I was gonna say, do you want
Speaker 1: bowl games or do you want conference championship game? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But don't you think that if you're a conference that
Speaker 1: they'll make it where I don't know if I don't
Speaker 1: know if they have or not. A conference winner automatically
Speaker 1: makes the playoff, right they do? So there you go.
Speaker 1: That's why you have to have those conferencemens. You don't
Speaker 1: have to have the conference championship games. You can win
Speaker 1: a conference championship in the regulars. But like, well, hold
Speaker 1: on a second bill. That's wrong because TCU if they
Speaker 1: if if they win, obviously they win the Big Twelve.
Speaker 1: But if Kansas State wins, they'll have two losses and
Speaker 1: they will win the Big Twelve championship. So they are
Speaker 1: in the current arrangement. But but if you just take
Speaker 1: the regular season, the TCU has won the regular season championship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they beat Kansas State. But but how you got
Speaker 1: the SEC with what they got sixteen teams up there.
Speaker 1: That's why. That's why you have a twelve team tournament
Speaker 1: where you got the at large teams, the teams that
Speaker 1: don't win the conference in the regular season, or if
Speaker 1: you have two teams that won the conference, they're both
Speaker 1: getting into the playoff. These if you go look at
Speaker 1: the history of these conference championship games, they typically they
Speaker 1: are blowout games. And look at this week. You got
Speaker 1: TCU play in Kansas State. Okay, if you took the
Speaker 1: twelve team playoff, both those teams are going into the
Speaker 1: playoff right now. Okay, they don't have to play each other.
Speaker 1: They're in the playoff. Yeah, TCU would hit that scene
Speaker 1: would be effective if they lost. If they lost, but okay,
Speaker 1: so go have them play. They get they earn the
Speaker 1: first round by from their unbeaten regular season, so then
Speaker 1: they would just be placed in the playoffs, right and
Speaker 1: then conferences would be like, okay, we got one in,
Speaker 1: but if they if they lose, then we get another
Speaker 1: one in. There might be some shenanigans going on. The
Speaker 1: Other thing you do, if you want to keep the
Speaker 1: conference championship games, play them Thanksgiving weekend. I just think
Speaker 1: you do away with them. I think so too. But
Speaker 1: if you are bound to determine, and you've got money
Speaker 1: you invested or money you're making off of it, play
Speaker 1: them Thanksgiving weekend and then start your playoff the first
Speaker 1: weekend and December. Cut it down from a twelve game
Speaker 1: regular season to an eleven season. Well, you know what
Speaker 1: it's really sorry is the reason probably they're playing it
Speaker 1: the next weekend bill is because you have that one
Speaker 1: game in two weeks that you have to play by itself.
Speaker 1: The only team plays that well, Army Navy. Army Navy
Speaker 1: ds to do what the Rose Bowl did, they start
Speaker 1: and relent and agree to it. I'm just saying, just
Speaker 1: play that game in October. That's right, exactly exactly, and
Speaker 1: you can play at stadium. We'll make it. We'll open
Speaker 1: up at and T Stadium for you, all right, lows Fieldhouse. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the other thing about just play the conference championship
Speaker 1: games and Thanksgive a weekend. If you ever look at
Speaker 1: outside of Ohio State Michigan, which is a huge rivalry game,
Speaker 1: what the football college football stadiums look like when they
Speaker 1: host a regular season game Thanksgive weekend. They are deserted
Speaker 1: because there's no kids on campus. The TV doesn't show
Speaker 1: the shots of the of the crowd, but the crowds
Speaker 1: are non existent. There was ninety three thousand people at
Speaker 1: A and M. Yeah, but I saw the Texas Tech game.
Speaker 1: You're right, the text game. There was nobody there, right,
Speaker 1: exactly all right? Peaks well for the Aggies, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: That's a rivalry. That's their rivalry. Gets right, that's all right.
Speaker 1: That does it for Mick shots and we will chat
Speaker 1: at you again tomorrow, Cowboys. This has been a production
Speaker 1: of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
