Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick Shot
Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. And here we are. It's a Thursday
Speaker 1: at the Star in Frisco. We are one week away
Speaker 1: from opening day, opening night in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: This is Mick Shots, Bill Jones, Everson Walls, and Mickey
Speaker 1: Spagnola shooting a fist into the air as we are
Speaker 1: one week away. What is it twenty nine hours that day, right,
Speaker 1: twenty nine four more hours or five more hours until
Speaker 1: that partick of the time? Right? A week in five hours?
Speaker 1: There you go, a week week in five hours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it is two o'clock Central time right now, and
Speaker 1: so whatever something like that, the pregame hype will be well,
Speaker 1: the pregame hype is already starting on this edition of
Speaker 1: Mix Shots. As the Cowboys are back on the practice
Speaker 1: this spring, the head coach and the head coach said,
Speaker 1: it's extremely exciting meeting today. This is the kickoff to
Speaker 1: the regular season meeting. Today's practice kicks off the regular season.
Speaker 1: There you go, and do we ever have a lot
Speaker 1: to get to on this edition of Mix Shots. This
Speaker 1: has been a couple of days since we've been here,
Speaker 1: and at the close of the show on Tuesday, the
Speaker 1: cuts came down, and since then the roster maneuvering has
Speaker 1: taken place, and like several other teams in the league,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have decided to go without any kickers. Right,
Speaker 1: we're changing the game. So there's a little humor to
Speaker 1: that line by Bill. I saw I saw something pop
Speaker 1: up my phone on Google and it was a story
Speaker 1: about Dan Campbell the Detroit Lions that he decided to, uh,
Speaker 1: basically do what the Cowboys did with their punter and
Speaker 1: their deep snapper. They waived them. They didn't have to
Speaker 1: go through waivers, but they needed to move guys from
Speaker 1: the fifty three onto ir that's a short term return,
Speaker 1: So they cut the kickers because they're not going to
Speaker 1: be signed by anybody else veteran guys. They don't have
Speaker 1: to go through waivers exactly. It's just the way the
Speaker 1: Cowboys did with Brian Anger and Jake McQuaid. Okay, so
Speaker 1: somebody on that website that which is at what's the
Speaker 1: website fan Sided. Fan Sided wrote a story that Dan
Speaker 1: Campbell doesn't like kickers and he's going to be going
Speaker 1: for two after touchdowns and going forward on fourth down
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have any kickers on the roster. Fan
Speaker 1: Sighted overhyped. It's every movement now, dude, you the same
Speaker 1: thing I did. I thought it was a tongue in
Speaker 1: cheek story. I still haven't figured out is this a satire.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea. I'm HEARDing the story. Um,
Speaker 1: believe me, Randy Bullock and Zane Gonzalez have to be shocked.
Speaker 1: They were both cut. Nothing makes your football team tougher
Speaker 1: than going for two every time because kicking is weak,
Speaker 1: nest And that sounds like something Dan Campbell would say, right,
Speaker 1: So it gives it some legitimates, right because you know Campbell, right,
Speaker 1: We're not We're going for it, gonna be fighting, knees,
Speaker 1: were gonna be Yeah, we're gonna be this kind of team.
Speaker 1: I'm not falling for this making this is a satire. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I think that story is a satire. I
Speaker 1: think the guy that wrote it, I think he believes
Speaker 1: his hype. And I think that guy that wrote, he
Speaker 1: believes his hype. Well maybe it maybe it is comedy.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I refuse to believe it's nothing
Speaker 1: but comedy. Well there was no comedy around here today,
Speaker 1: by golly hey. But let me let me get back,
Speaker 1: let me get to something. Guys. I'm on my family
Speaker 1: what's app and they were talking about the ESPN game
Speaker 1: high school game between IMG My former teammate Pepper Johnson
Speaker 1: happens to be the head coach and he played against
Speaker 1: the team Sycamore. What is happening? Man? Can somebody tell
Speaker 1: me what happened? I've listened to the story, I've read
Speaker 1: the story, and I still don't get it. That was
Speaker 1: a satire football yes, it was. Come on, man, how
Speaker 1: did they sneak this? Bye? I don't understand. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was a bogus high school football team made up
Speaker 1: of whoever they could play or get on the JUCO dropouts.
Speaker 1: I heard some of the guys were like twenty thirty
Speaker 1: years old? Is that true? I don't know how old
Speaker 1: they were. But they got their butt kicked like and
Speaker 1: they still lost. And they had a game scheduled for
Speaker 1: this weekend with Duncanville. So how do you pull that off?
Speaker 1: I think you know, it's a it's a new school,
Speaker 1: it's a basically online classes for high school price and
Speaker 1: it's not sanctioned by the state of Ohio. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking they probably It probably started with good intentions and
Speaker 1: then they got a deal to play on ESPN and
Speaker 1: then didn't have enough players or whatever, and so they
Speaker 1: had an added player. I have no idea, Bishops Bishops Sycamore, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and and what was sounds holy, doesn't it? So yeah,
Speaker 1: right there, you're going to get in the door, right.
Speaker 1: Whatever happens after that, you know, it's up to you.
Speaker 1: So they heard they signed cam Newton too, so that
Speaker 1: was another But apparently, and I didn't watch the game,
Speaker 1: but apparently as the game went on, the announcers started
Speaker 1: realizing that the teleent level, the talent level wasn't what
Speaker 1: was advertised, and then they started goggling and searching and
Speaker 1: they couldn't find these players on how does this dot
Speaker 1: happen before the game is even scheduled? HOWESPA get dupe?
Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking that, that's the amazing, amazing,
Speaker 1: But it was twice because they had Duncan scheduled and
Speaker 1: they caught onto it. It's like televised though, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: believe so. Well, wasn't this one televised? That one was?
Speaker 1: So that's why I just can't believe that in your
Speaker 1: normal preparation for the game, that you wouldn't discover this. Uh,
Speaker 1: the head coach has an active warrant for him. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: nastual warf is the rest? Isn't this world? This is
Speaker 1: an amazing world. Isn't it? The sports world too? It's
Speaker 1: so colorful nowadays. I love it. All Right, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: Mickey's minute. Okay, Wow, that was that was off. That
Speaker 1: was off the wall. Yeah, crazy though definitely worth it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So so where do we start. Well, let's start with
Speaker 1: the roster adjustments that did take place today. Uh So
Speaker 1: the guys, three of the guys the Cowboys had on
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen list, Um Cede Lamb, Demante Kz, Carlos
Speaker 1: Watkins have come off COVID and they practiced so to
Speaker 1: make room uh for those guys, they had to move
Speaker 1: and they ended up moving a half dozen guy guys
Speaker 1: from uh the fifty three man roster to the COVID list,
Speaker 1: I mean to the ir off and they went to IR.
Speaker 1: So let me make sure I get it right here. Uh.
Speaker 1: So the guys they moved were Neville Gallimore, Josh Ball,
Speaker 1: Molik Turner, uh, Sean McEwan, Kelvin Joseph and Francis Bernard.
Speaker 1: All those guys. Six guys they moved to IR designated
Speaker 1: to returns. So it's called DTR DTR designated to and
Speaker 1: so they have to miss three weeks and three and
Speaker 1: they were all dealing with injuries, so at least three
Speaker 1: and you keep them there long. The most six is
Speaker 1: that no, these these they can be on as long
Speaker 1: as they need to be on the need It's a
Speaker 1: it's they change the rules with COVID because you can
Speaker 1: have an unlimited number of people that go on the
Speaker 1: U the injured reserve during the season. During the season,
Speaker 1: it's just different than those who are placed on injured
Speaker 1: reserve prior to right. For instance, Hunter and I wander
Speaker 1: the So so they these guys, and some of them
Speaker 1: are getting close. I saw Josh Ball working on the ball,
Speaker 1: working on the cord, so he's getting a little closer. Uh.
Speaker 1: Malite Turner was running uh and uh one other guy,
Speaker 1: oh Gallimore was starting to get on the field and
Speaker 1: do some good rehap type stuff. So these guys are
Speaker 1: out at least the Tampa Bay game, the Charger game,
Speaker 1: and the Eagle game, right, and then if they're healthy enough,
Speaker 1: you can start making moves. So anyway, those those they
Speaker 1: made those moves. They had the three guys come off
Speaker 1: and then they they claimed on waivers. Will Greer the
Speaker 1: quarterback was that Carolina. Uh, they claimed Corey Clement the
Speaker 1: running back got cut by the Giants, and you know,
Speaker 1: I thought they'd get Devant Freeman. Yeah, but you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't think your teams special teams was the deciding
Speaker 1: factor because this guy was all special teams. He would
Speaker 1: play UH. And so was there one other move they made?
Speaker 1: They put two more guys on the practice squad. Um,
Speaker 1: I saw this guy work out. Brelan speaks defensive van
Speaker 1: and Ian Bunting a tight end. They put them on
Speaker 1: the practice squad. So I think they have one more
Speaker 1: spot on the practice squad, or they do because aler
Speaker 1: Cone is not count against the practice squad number. There.
Speaker 1: I know what the other thing was, and they brought
Speaker 1: Uh and they resigned Uh resigned McQuaid. So they've got
Speaker 1: one more move Micky's not convinced about it. You gotta
Speaker 1: be perfect, right, uh. And then and then they think
Speaker 1: Connor Williams will be off COVID by time they practice
Speaker 1: on Sunday, so that'll uh, I have to make room
Speaker 1: for him. So anyway, so that that's the that one.
Speaker 1: And then they got to bring back Brian Anger put
Speaker 1: the punter who didn't need to practice today clearly, And
Speaker 1: I'm wondering. They did a long interview with a Zoom
Speaker 1: Kamara out there, and I was just wondering, do you
Speaker 1: think he was on the fifty three just as a
Speaker 1: place setter, you know, just to have a warm body there.
Speaker 1: And then well, well, you know what, he's bigger than
Speaker 1: I thought when I saw him play. He plays short.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was like six five maybe is
Speaker 1: he really? He does not look six five? No, let
Speaker 1: me see what do they got him listed at six
Speaker 1: four six? Now sixty three? They well, this one says
Speaker 1: sixty three, you may have six four and he's two fifty.
Speaker 1: He doesn't that yeah. Also, and he said they wanted
Speaker 1: him another fifteen pounds. So but it's a nice story.
Speaker 1: It's a great hard knocks deal. You know. He talked about.
Speaker 1: But maybe it's more than that. But maybe it is.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's I just thought, you know,
Speaker 1: with the amount of defensive ends they have on this roster,
Speaker 1: they only had three defensive tackles and one of them
Speaker 1: was on Covid. Well, now Carlos Watkins is back at
Speaker 1: some point, they'll get Neville Gallimore back. And then they
Speaker 1: had Bohannah and they put Justin Hamilton on the practice squad,
Speaker 1: so they were kind of short on defense. It could
Speaker 1: be just the emphasis that Quinn might be putting on
Speaker 1: the edge rushers. Well, they can move some of them inside. Okay,
Speaker 1: Brett Urban could play in what's in what's Basham status?
Speaker 1: I did not see him out there, but he's on
Speaker 1: the fifty three. Yeah, he was not placed on IR
Speaker 1: now speculation that he might be one of the most
Speaker 1: placed on so he may be the place center in
Speaker 1: case Basham isn't ready to go. And they had Gholston
Speaker 1: out there, he took him off the top list. Um so,
Speaker 1: but Camaro would would fit more the Basham. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: so maybe till Basham gets back or whatever or is
Speaker 1: ready to go, right and he is at the combine.
Speaker 1: He was measured sixty three and one quarter inch tall
Speaker 1: and two hundred and forty two pounds. Camaro was he's growing.
Speaker 1: He ran a four to five nine eight well at
Speaker 1: training camp. Well, okay in comparison, but he's a special
Speaker 1: team Jamaka's well, what was his numbers coming out? He
Speaker 1: was around I want to say two fifty he was
Speaker 1: he was too six four, two fifty one and Randy
Speaker 1: Gregory was like two thirty five, right, So we can't
Speaker 1: compare him. That's a special case. Yeah, No, Vandy can work. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And how's he doing? By the way, I can't wait
Speaker 1: till this thing starts. I just think he's going to
Speaker 1: explode this year. People are going to be surprised about
Speaker 1: his speed. And he's like Gumby. You know, he could
Speaker 1: come around that corner and he couldn't towards his body
Speaker 1: and he doesn't fall, you know. You know how Taco
Speaker 1: Charlton tried to do that and he would always lose
Speaker 1: his feet and slide out. Gregory's got something on the
Speaker 1: side of his feet to keep him up right. I
Speaker 1: just think he's if he if he has a good year,
Speaker 1: I will not be surprised, which, by the way, Kansas
Speaker 1: City cut Taco too for a while back a week
Speaker 1: or so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't even land with anyone.
Speaker 1: I have not seen him being about anyone. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: does that say about Taco Charld You know who else
Speaker 1: got cut after they brought him back, Everson Griffin. That
Speaker 1: was my design with Minnesota. That was one of those
Speaker 1: where you cut, you cut him, nobody's gonna pick him
Speaker 1: up and they maybe someone guarantee his first maybe, No,
Speaker 1: he's already been signed. Oh he got back, he'll signed back.
Speaker 1: So it was just a one day to get someone
Speaker 1: to I R because no one I thought he's already
Speaker 1: flamed out. No, No, Zimmer is going to give him
Speaker 1: every opportunity and he's there at home. Well that's that's
Speaker 1: the thing. The main problem. Well, I don't know, we
Speaker 1: weren't out there to know exactly what was going on
Speaker 1: with him, but the system clearly we did not fit
Speaker 1: Griffin here. No one took the words right out. You
Speaker 1: can't just any of those guys from last year. Okay,
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do this year, let's not do right.
Speaker 1: And so he's back home with Minnesota and the same system,
Speaker 1: and so we'll see how he does this year. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I think you know, my first line to my
Speaker 1: column yesterday was nothing the Cowboys did made me go, oh,
Speaker 1: my right, most surprises, right, and not even the fact
Speaker 1: that they picked up Will Greer. You know, I think
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's an inexpense. It didn't cost
Speaker 1: him anything to get him. Right, he's one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars less than keeping guilt Gary Gilbert. But
Speaker 1: I think they know what Gilbert is, you know, I
Speaker 1: think this is kind of a research project. Well know,
Speaker 1: they knowing about Greer too, because he was Doug nus
Speaker 1: Meyer's quarterback at his first year at Florida in twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: and that's when nuss Meyer became the offensive coordinator there.
Speaker 1: And if you go back and look at what Will
Speaker 1: Grier did there, he did very well. The first month
Speaker 1: of the season there six games, in fact, in a
Speaker 1: game against Old Miss, throw for four touchdown passes, no picks,
Speaker 1: and I mean he had good numbers overall in those
Speaker 1: six games, had only three picks, nine touchdown passes. And
Speaker 1: then he was suspended four peeds and so he tested
Speaker 1: positive and it was it was something that was in
Speaker 1: and over the counter that that he can't just put
Speaker 1: all of those in one category. Try the mistakes that
Speaker 1: have made and sometimes exceptions that will get you in trouble. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're probably eighteen nineteen years old and you're trying.
Speaker 1: He was a rehirt freshman. He was a tight shirt freshman,
Speaker 1: means he's a sense of urgency. He was trying to
Speaker 1: get to he needs to get right away physic and
Speaker 1: he played well for right So he was there. And
Speaker 1: so that was early October, and the NCAA rules at
Speaker 1: that time it was it was a year long suspension,
Speaker 1: and so he was suspended the last six games of
Speaker 1: that season and then the first six games of the
Speaker 1: next year. In the meantime, I don't remember who the
Speaker 1: quarterback was that took over at Florida. He decided, because
Speaker 1: there was already he was going to be suspended the
Speaker 1: first six games of the next year, so he was
Speaker 1: having no chance of winning the starting job there, he
Speaker 1: decided to transfer to West Virginia and sat out his
Speaker 1: year for transfer, had to sit out a year for transferring.
Speaker 1: So now we're to twenty seventeen, and then there was
Speaker 1: an issue about Okay, because he served the last half
Speaker 1: of that suspension, Did that count of the whole year?
Speaker 1: Did that count because he couldn't play anyway? It was
Speaker 1: his transfer year, and anyway, he payed, played well for
Speaker 1: West for two years at West Virginia, and so well
Speaker 1: that he was a third round draft pick in college.
Speaker 1: He was amazing, and I heard the Cowboys had a
Speaker 1: very good evaluation on him. So I said, third round
Speaker 1: was that? And they go, yeah, third round, and so okay,
Speaker 1: So think about it, over the course of the last
Speaker 1: however many years you want to put it, how many
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have been in this building who have been higher
Speaker 1: than a fourth round draft pick. I got one in
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. He was a second round pick last year, right,
Speaker 1: so go back in his And then Quincy Carter was
Speaker 1: a second round draft pick twenty years ago. And so
Speaker 1: now you got Vinnie and Drew Bledsoe that came in here.
Speaker 1: But there aren't very many quarterbacks who have been in
Speaker 1: this building who were greater than a fourth round draft pick,
Speaker 1: including the starting quarterback right right now. And that's something
Speaker 1: Romo and Romo being an undrafted free agent as a rookie.
Speaker 1: So the previous high before and I don't know the
Speaker 1: number in the fourth but have been um the guy
Speaker 1: from A and M. They draft Stephen mcgeean. He was
Speaker 1: early fourth round. He was higher than Prescott. Yeah, who's
Speaker 1: won thirty five? So this guy was a third round
Speaker 1: now here. And so you know, the familiarity that helped
Speaker 1: Greer get here is what cost him in Carolina because
Speaker 1: he got drafted in twenty nineteen. In twenty twenty, they
Speaker 1: changed staff, right, Matt Rule took over and he chose
Speaker 1: p J. Walker, who I saw play at Globe Life
Speaker 1: Park in the XFL against whoever Dallas? What were they renegade?
Speaker 1: How can you forget? Yeah? And and and he was.
Speaker 1: He took over the game with with with his ability
Speaker 1: to run and throw. And so guess what he played
Speaker 1: for Matt Rule in college? PJ. Walker Temple was the
Speaker 1: Temple quarterback and was really good there. So you know
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys scouting department probably fired had their eye
Speaker 1: on that Carolina quarterbacking situation throughout training because everything I
Speaker 1: read it was a dead heat for the backup job
Speaker 1: behind Sam Darnold. And of course he went with the
Speaker 1: guy he was familiar with, p J. Walker, and they
Speaker 1: cut Will Greer. Now guer uh, black haired kid right.
Speaker 1: I remember he was very good. He was just very
Speaker 1: good West Virginia. He was West Virginia. He was like
Speaker 1: newcomer of the years. He had a lot of hard
Speaker 1: a lot of comebacks, and all of that he did
Speaker 1: very well. Now, he couldn't be good first team quarterback though,
Speaker 1: because he was in the same conference as Oklahoma. That
Speaker 1: was sea. Yeah, And I should have known that as
Speaker 1: soon as say, but here's here's my thing. What are
Speaker 1: his true dimensions? Because when you started looking at quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to take the heat, first of all.
Speaker 1: And I thought that was kind of Denuci's problem. He
Speaker 1: was the quintessential college quarterback. Ain't to make it in
Speaker 1: the pros. This is just my opinion. Uh didn't quite
Speaker 1: have the arm, didn't quite have the technique. And we
Speaker 1: found out a few more things about him. What is
Speaker 1: Will Greers physical? Was one of the physical numbers on
Speaker 1: its only six one No, no, no, no. He looked petite.
Speaker 1: He looked petite on the field. He is at the
Speaker 1: combine which you go buy the combine numbers. Okay, six
Speaker 1: two and a half. Well, this is the roster that
Speaker 1: came out here today and they got him listed at
Speaker 1: six one. Okay, so they probably West Virginia, so they
Speaker 1: probably borrowed that from the Carolina Panthers. Yeah, I'm guessing
Speaker 1: that's from the west. That's from West Virginia. But the
Speaker 1: combine number is a sex serious mess. And you wouldn't
Speaker 1: know about the combine. No, no, you're talking about and
Speaker 1: the other thing about the combine. It's a consistent measurement,
Speaker 1: okay in uh six two and a half, two seventeen
Speaker 1: is what he measured at them. I tell you what
Speaker 1: I saw watch him throw. He's got a live arm,
Speaker 1: had a good as well. Yeah, good preseason, and I
Speaker 1: will say this, he was says, almost as close, probably
Speaker 1: as close as you can get to a fourth round pick.
Speaker 1: He was the one hund in the dram So anyway,
Speaker 1: they everybody's like, well, why would you do that instead
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton? And it's like, and then why would
Speaker 1: you keep Ben Denucci on the practice quiet? Well, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking just looking around, what's happened to quarterbacks in this league,
Speaker 1: in this COVID area. You better have as many arms
Speaker 1: on your team as possible because you never know and
Speaker 1: legs if one one catches it test positive and the
Speaker 1: other one's a close contact and hasn't been vaccinated. Then
Speaker 1: you lose two guys. I got another thing for you.
Speaker 1: Who are the second and third games on the schedule,
Speaker 1: the Chargers and the Eagles? Right? Herbert can move? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so now you got a guy in the practice
Speaker 1: squad could simulate the quarterbacks. You're guy, I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: he reminds me of Herbert. That's who Will Greer reminds
Speaker 1: me he plays. No. I remember we were talking about
Speaker 1: Ducci as being a scout team Okay, I go, yeah, No,
Speaker 1: But but I was gonna say, I was wanting to
Speaker 1: think of the Chargers quarterback. That's who Will gree reminded
Speaker 1: me of. Maybe Will Greer is that scout team quarterback now,
Speaker 1: and he could be. And he went to summer school
Speaker 1: today because uh nuss Meyer took him over the side
Speaker 1: and they had one on one and Kellen Moore took
Speaker 1: over the quarterback. Okay, so they pulled him out. And
Speaker 1: they are extremely similar in how they play. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: here's another one I needed to bring up. So I
Speaker 1: saw where Phil Simms has his doubts about how healthy
Speaker 1: Presscott is right because he sees him throwing on hard
Speaker 1: knocks and hard Knocks. His not showed and I bet
Speaker 1: this is by design anything that Dack's doing right, And
Speaker 1: so he's saying, yeah, the things I saw on Hard Knocks,
Speaker 1: he'd not throw any velocity. He wasn't letting it out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah he was. We saw it. He was and chucking it.
Speaker 1: And so the last thing, if you think about it,
Speaker 1: the last this last episode Tuesday, they showed him throw
Speaker 1: one kind of deep pass, but they didn't show how
Speaker 1: far it was. And then the other one that he
Speaker 1: threw about forty yards to Dalton Schultz right on the money.
Speaker 1: He threw on the run. They showed him scrambling. They
Speaker 1: saw him throw the ball, it was in the air
Speaker 1: and then it went to something else. It never showed
Speaker 1: where it came down, right, so that you're here to
Speaker 1: tell the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that it fell so far
Speaker 1: short of the mark right, by God, don't worry about decks.
Speaker 1: He passes, by God. The guy, No, no, you know
Speaker 1: under through. It's evident to me just watched him out there.
Speaker 1: You can't that more than ten thou guys. If Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay is stupid enough to believe what they see, CC
Speaker 1: is not that. No, No, he is not so he's
Speaker 1: a head coach. It's like Phil, come on, jeez, I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe we ran that on last night on or
Speaker 1: at six o'clock yesterday on our sportscast. It was part
Speaker 1: of It was a sound bite. It was a sound bite. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was part of CBS. The CBS talent had
Speaker 1: their media day yesterday and so we heard from Romo
Speaker 1: and uh and Phil Simms was in that group. I
Speaker 1: just burned my bridges with CBS. I mean, but here's
Speaker 1: the thing. If you know, if you're one of those detractors,
Speaker 1: you know, and you see that Dak has gone through
Speaker 1: what he's going through, you're going to wish for him
Speaker 1: to have some type of controversy. It could be week six,
Speaker 1: week ten, it could be towards the end of the season.
Speaker 1: Well I knew it. Yeah yeah, I mean, come on, man,
Speaker 1: you can't win with that. That's like Stephen Ay Smith saying, well,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys they're not gonna do anything we have. We
Speaker 1: don't go to the super Bowl, then it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a disaster anyway for this season. According to him, if
Speaker 1: we don't go all the way, then there's always going
Speaker 1: to be a failure in his eyes, and he could
Speaker 1: always say I told you so. That has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the team or the person, and it has
Speaker 1: to do with those detractors. That's it. Okay, I got
Speaker 1: all this stuff off my chest too. And the point
Speaker 1: that Phil Simms was making was he felt like that
Speaker 1: an ankle injury, coming off an ankle injury can affect
Speaker 1: other parts of your body, and it did him. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had a foot injury. And then he woke up
Speaker 1: the next day and after throwing, and he had a
Speaker 1: sore arm and he blamed it on his foot because
Speaker 1: he wasn't planning. And when he was Achilles about Sims,
Speaker 1: it didn't say it, just said foot. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: killing us against Buffalo. What do you recall about his velocity?
Speaker 1: His velocity was okay, I picked my after injury. It
Speaker 1: was okay, I'm like, you know, I have to give
Speaker 1: me a pressure point. You know, it's pretty good. So
Speaker 1: how far into the season was that? That was week
Speaker 1: eleven against the Buffalo Bills, And there was the best
Speaker 1: thing ever had That was nine, That was ninety. That
Speaker 1: was the best thing happened to us. That was you
Speaker 1: know how it is when you when you here here's
Speaker 1: the other point on that. Who was his backup Hostell?
Speaker 1: And where did he go to college? West Virginia, Virginia?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, No, it was just that he wasn't moving.
Speaker 1: He wasn't moving before. He was never a mobile quarter Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the problem you had with that was they were
Speaker 1: starting to figure us out. Yeah, we couldn't throw, we
Speaker 1: couldn't run, we couldn't do anything. Here comes Hosteller. He's
Speaker 1: all over the place. So now we can do bootlegs
Speaker 1: and things of that nature to what the defense got
Speaker 1: all discombibulated. And of course with our defense, all we
Speaker 1: had to do was having more and more chances, which
Speaker 1: is what we were made to do. And so that
Speaker 1: was the best thing happened to it. He saw the
Speaker 1: difference between that Super Bowl that first they had to
Speaker 1: get us up. I think like a field goal. There's
Speaker 1: something that came down to missfield goal. There's something I
Speaker 1: can't remember, and imber blacking out a bid, right, a
Speaker 1: championship season with a backup quarterback from West Virginia. Now,
Speaker 1: Cowboys start this season at the same site or the
Speaker 1: same city, and you gotta you gotta go with oj Anderson,
Speaker 1: you gotta go with Oja Anderson. We had a backup
Speaker 1: running back as well, not just a backup quarterback, but
Speaker 1: a backup running back because Widney Hampton went down and
Speaker 1: then the next year Hostetler showed what he could do
Speaker 1: over sixteen games. We don't need the West Virginia quarterback
Speaker 1: to do anything next year. We need for insurance this year.
Speaker 1: This is like Huger Boom right over exposed. All right,
Speaker 1: we continue with more mix shots in just a moment. Honey,
Speaker 1: big news, Gary? Are you okay? Oh? I'm not Gary anymore.

Speaker 1: all right, might nominate you guys. You know, and for fans.
Speaker 1: You can't tell the players without a program, right, you
Speaker 1: gotta have the numbers. Okay, Mickey, do you have those numbers?
Speaker 1: Because do you have the numbers? We get some number changes.
Speaker 1: Let me first start off with this. Ever soon, of
Speaker 1: course you wore number twenty four, if you had a
Speaker 1: preference to change from twenty four to a single digit
Speaker 1: number or a number in the teams, like the new
Speaker 1: rules allow you to do. Right now, what number would
Speaker 1: you have gone with? Number nine? Number nine, That's my
Speaker 1: number in college. Loved it, they called me to this day.
Speaker 1: They called me just just a little nine. They didn't
Speaker 1: have number rules in college. Nah, no, never, never, he
Speaker 1: still known. Yeah, I still don't know. No that we were.
Speaker 1: We were nine. My strong safety was number six, and
Speaker 1: so yeah, we liked those those single numbers baseball numbers.
Speaker 1: Now there are some rules I guess on offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't have an offensive lineman running, but
Speaker 1: d lineman that can do what Oregon takes advantage of
Speaker 1: this big big as this dog on table. He had
Speaker 1: number six. Got love all it looks weird, It looks weird.
Speaker 1: I love defensive linement. That shows they're bad. So if
Speaker 1: you had number twenty seven, what would you take if
Speaker 1: I had number twenty seven. I used to have twenty
Speaker 1: seven in training camp. Oh yeah, when I first got there,
Speaker 1: there was my moment ron fellows doing well, fellow, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell this number was, but I
Speaker 1: had twenty seven. He was twenty seven. They gave it
Speaker 1: to me initially. Yeah, I don't even know that bode
Speaker 1: well for the free agent coming in when when the
Speaker 1: veterans already got that numb, well, let's be well. Eventually
Speaker 1: the free agent ended up jumping right over and he
Speaker 1: was guy, from where did you go to school? What
Speaker 1: if my fellows go to school? University him? So that
Speaker 1: was when the rookies were there. Yes, the rookies wasn't
Speaker 1: much of a veteran. Yeah, they would have been very
Speaker 1: first or second year. Who was a fellows? Fellows coming
Speaker 1: with me? Run together? Okay? And and he made a
Speaker 1: position change because at Missouri was a wide tried I
Speaker 1: remember that, yeah, but he came here as a defensive
Speaker 1: back and put okay, so the punt return so he
Speaker 1: could run, he couldn't run, okay. Mickey's point. Number seven now,
Speaker 1: who had been twenty seven is Treyvon did okay. Uh
Speaker 1: Jabril Cox goes from forty eight to fourteen. That's strange
Speaker 1: linebacker wearing number fourty. I don't like the number seven.
Speaker 1: I just don't it doesn't. I don't know, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's harder, yeah to me. Yeah, now that's what he
Speaker 1: wore to Alabama. Okay, same the same reason you have
Speaker 1: for number nine. Nashan Wright went from forty to twenty five.
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that better. I didn't like
Speaker 1: forty at all. Now what he looks like a guy
Speaker 1: barely made the team. Jay Ron Curse went from thirty
Speaker 1: two to twenty seven. I like that. I like twenty
Speaker 1: seven on him. A Zermkamara, I think he was forty three,
Speaker 1: Yes he was. He's fifty four. Now he's gonna be right,
Speaker 1: he's gonna look bigger now, yeah, yeah, right, that's about
Speaker 1: all the death for him. And you know, let's be real,
Speaker 1: you're just throwing these numbers. I know nobody's throwing out
Speaker 1: number twelve. You know who's gonna number twelve? Yeah? Why
Speaker 1: would you just throw out that? Might be? That might
Speaker 1: be why he's a place setter right now? That was
Speaker 1: your clue throwing out these Hall of Fame numbers all
Speaker 1: time cowboys they gave they might as well have giving
Speaker 1: him seventy four. H oh stop. They gave Corey Clement
Speaker 1: forty three, okay, and then there's one more. Where's it? Oh,
Speaker 1: Dicky Zowa seventy five, he's now ninety seven. I like that.
Speaker 1: You know he wasn't big on seventy's taking he's taking
Speaker 1: up what was that? Was it? And who had ninety
Speaker 1: seven seven? Okay, Rondel Carter who got picked up by Arizona. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's gone yes, yes, yes, And I see why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because he kicked buttins Arizona. That's how it goes. That
Speaker 1: how it go uh huh um. I do like a
Speaker 1: defensive lineman all being in the same rainy nineties because
Speaker 1: and one of the reasons is sometimes it's hard on
Speaker 1: the fly to detect who's who. You know, if you've
Speaker 1: got similar numbers, you know you've got ninety seven, ninety nine,
Speaker 1: ninety two. They all kind of look alike, you know,
Speaker 1: the best defensive lineman in the wide receiver number. But Buchanan,
Speaker 1: he's number eighty six. I'll try. There's a big for
Speaker 1: a big man number. That's why I think, you know,
Speaker 1: with Bohannah eight that's a good number. Hue fills it out,
Speaker 1: he should be ninety nine. Justin Hamilton, you can't filling
Speaker 1: it out too. And he signed the practice squad. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that one wasn't available unless you wanted to pay
Speaker 1: something for man. But the strangest, and I agree with you,
Speaker 1: it's gonna take some getting used to. There's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of cornerbacks in the league now wearing single digits.
Speaker 1: That's gonna take some getting used to because we're just
Speaker 1: frustrated wide receivers, that's all we are. But the one
Speaker 1: that I have a problem with is Jabril Cox. Number fourteen.
Speaker 1: That doesn't. That doesn't. That's probably the number E Warrior. Well,
Speaker 1: it seems very coolog number nineteen at ls LSU's nineteen alcology.
Speaker 1: It looks kind about north North Dakota state. Was that
Speaker 1: North Dakota state? Often to do it? Did not look
Speaker 1: at his number, blew that one. He came in with
Speaker 1: half information. Yeah, so all right, there's your numbers. Okay. No,
Speaker 1: I loved I love my single number of Graham. He
Speaker 1: was forty two. Jabril Cox was forty two. That's a
Speaker 1: better number than fourteen for him if it was available.
Speaker 1: Forty eight wasn't bad, It really wasn't. I just don't
Speaker 1: know Joe Thomas, right, yep. I saw he got released too.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he got resigned. I have not I
Speaker 1: have not seen whether he got Joe Dude, I was
Speaker 1: the only one I liked him last year. Nobody wanted
Speaker 1: to play him. Didn't you You notice Damien Wilson playing
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville? Yeah, yeah, sure, he's starting starts at linebacker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: after two going to back to back Super Bowls in Kansas.
Speaker 1: The guy's ring now it's just for them, right, Thomas
Speaker 1: may be sitting out the first week. Okay, he may
Speaker 1: be one of those sitting out the first week. Not
Speaker 1: guarantee the song, Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So. Well, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you a little injury report for so. I think
Speaker 1: I mentioned Malik Turner was doing some rehab. Lale Collins
Speaker 1: did not get back into practice. They're hoping by Sunday.
Speaker 1: They're being cautious, he said. Jim Mauer decided that they
Speaker 1: need to keep him out. Yeah. How concerning is this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit. Although Mike, Mike, Mike thought that,
Speaker 1: you know, he would be there Sunday, and I saw
Speaker 1: him doing rehab. So he was running, but it was
Speaker 1: a stinger. So you hate to hear those things. Uh.
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson was on the chords. Um, they ls hope
Speaker 1: to get him back growing. Um. So he was moving
Speaker 1: pretty well on the chords. Uh, let's see who else.
Speaker 1: And you're not able to watch the entire practice anymore.
Speaker 1: You just first and they had Goldston dress. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he would. I can tell if you're not out there
Speaker 1: with your pads, you're probably not running back in and
Speaker 1: and put him put him on c J. Goodwe was doing.
Speaker 1: He's been out for a couple of weeks. Uh, and
Speaker 1: he was dressed, had pads on, and was practicing with
Speaker 1: the uh special teams. So that kind of gives you
Speaker 1: an idea of where uh some of the guys are.
Speaker 1: And when we went out at eleven thirty, it was
Speaker 1: ninety two degrees with a feel like of one oh six.
Speaker 1: This is crazy, man. I thought the humidity was supposed
Speaker 1: to get to sixty one percent this afternoon. You know.
Speaker 1: I have a shade that I was putting together outside.
Speaker 1: You quit. Yeah. My wife's like, hey, how about this ship, Like,
Speaker 1: how about it? We're welcome to it. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: going out there morning that We're gonna start on that project.
Speaker 1: After Halloween. I got the walls up. I just take
Speaker 1: a knock about the connection dollars um. All right, I
Speaker 1: did a little zoom with a reporter from Tampa today.
Speaker 1: Remember Casey Phillips. Yes, Casey Phillips interned here with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: She's from here and she's now a reporter for the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bud from the show. Yeah it's still show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's gone, she's a Tampa No, she's been gone. She's
Speaker 1: been all over. That's good. Where well she before that,
Speaker 1: she was with the Rams, the Rams and then the
Speaker 1: Washington Wizards. Yes, but anyway, so we did a little
Speaker 1: preview of next week's game, and uh, she's got a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring by the way, perfect time they are.
Speaker 1: She's media department right right, and she mced the ring
Speaker 1: ceremony and everything the world. So anyway, especially coming off
Speaker 1: a preseason in which things are going very well for
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Their last preseason game, Brady was eleven out
Speaker 1: of fourteen. Lavante David had nine tackles in one quarter
Speaker 1: against the Texans. They are in regular season form. So
Speaker 1: that's going to be one of the big storylines this
Speaker 1: coming week is how ready the Bucks are and how
Speaker 1: we don't know anything about the Cowboys. That's what we
Speaker 1: were talking about the last show. I'm worried. I'm not
Speaker 1: worried about what we're going to do offensively, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm really not. Even though they have a good defense,
Speaker 1: I think we can hold up against the defense better
Speaker 1: than they. I'm more worried about how we handle raiding
Speaker 1: and how we handle the running game, how we handle
Speaker 1: the consistently and the different opportunities. That's the thing about
Speaker 1: good defense. You give your offense many opportunities. Brady was
Speaker 1: feasting on that last year. His defense gave him many
Speaker 1: opportunities to come back and redo any mistakes he made.
Speaker 1: And that's what you gotta worry about, you know. They
Speaker 1: asked Osa Dicky Zoo about facing Brady uh and I
Speaker 1: think somebody pointed out, you know that he's almost been
Speaker 1: in the league as long as you've been alive, And
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, it's crazy. He's playing He's playing football
Speaker 1: before I knew what it was. Um. But he went
Speaker 1: on to say, you know, the key to dealing with
Speaker 1: him is that get him off his spot. He said,
Speaker 1: because they have stats that when you know the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: off your spot, the passer rating goes down, and and
Speaker 1: and that he you know, and then he's not that mobile.
Speaker 1: So kess somebody asks him, Oh, what do you think
Speaker 1: tom Brady's gonna think, because you said he's not mobile,
Speaker 1: and he said, I feel like he's the kind of
Speaker 1: guy not going to know what I'm saying. He could,
Speaker 1: He's not going to worry about what I say. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying trying to hold down a spot, and
Speaker 1: it's a spot though he is. That's very good coaching.
Speaker 1: But everybody knows that. I wasn't not the only ones
Speaker 1: who know that, and yet no one's been able to
Speaker 1: knock him off his spot. So the key is obviously
Speaker 1: the timing situation. There's also the intellect and the experience
Speaker 1: you have to overcome as well, because he's going to
Speaker 1: be tight with the receivers. They're gonna know what's going
Speaker 1: on at every time. They're gonna know how to adjust
Speaker 1: everything he does. So that pressure has to be constant,
Speaker 1: has got to keep him off balance. So should I
Speaker 1: point out whatever I write before the game that last
Speaker 1: time they faced Tom Brady, they held him to one
Speaker 1: touchdown and the only reason he got that touchdown is
Speaker 1: they blocked a punt and recovered it about the Cowboys
Speaker 1: twenty yard line. Yeah, but you gotta also point out
Speaker 1: the situation. Have you think it was raining? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna. I want to give you that fact. I
Speaker 1: like that. I like how you bury talking about burying
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, I like that. But when it comes
Speaker 1: down to it, it's gonna be a totally different Brady.
Speaker 1: And I think he's got more talent on this offensive
Speaker 1: to no doubt, no doubt then that team. Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you remember, I remember the cow
Speaker 1: two years ago, it was a MARII Cooper when this
Speaker 1: this theory was going on. He doesn't play, he was soft.
Speaker 1: He doesn't play well on the road. Well, two of
Speaker 1: the road games that year. One he played one series
Speaker 1: against the Jets when he shouldn't have played it all
Speaker 1: because he was injured. And then two he didn't catch
Speaker 1: any passes in that game. No, it was pouring down
Speaker 1: rain and nobody was catching it. I'm not mistake. He
Speaker 1: had a little injury that I don't if he was
Speaker 1: hurt or it was aggravated. We aggravated and went into
Speaker 1: we were hurt. When we had to walk outside it
Speaker 1: was raining sideways because the wind was blowing about twenty
Speaker 1: five miles an hour, not only was it raining, the
Speaker 1: wind was blowing and it was cold, and there were neither.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Dak had if I remember,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had better offensive numbers than New England. The
Speaker 1: difference in the game was the block punt and the
Speaker 1: fact that everyone kept pointing out that Dak had for
Speaker 1: superiod talent on his team. So therefore, yeah, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna match what Brady does, then of course you're gonna
Speaker 1: lose because you've got more talent. Did you look it up?
Speaker 1: Which one that I thought you were looking up? The
Speaker 1: game we were talking about. Oh no, no, that's committed
Speaker 1: a memory. Everything got that one. I was trying to remember.
Speaker 1: The score was thirteen. Sounds good. Yeah, it's committed a memory. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. I was actually looking up the difference in
Speaker 1: age Tom Brady and Michael Parsons. So Brady's forty forty
Speaker 1: four forty he just turned forty four, Parsons is twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. Yep, even born he was. Parsons would have
Speaker 1: been eleven months old when Brady was drafted in April
Speaker 1: of two thousand. So there's your difference in age there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was pretty savvy when he answered the question
Speaker 1: talking about how good he was. M Parsons is pretty slick. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't give much away because they keep
Speaker 1: talking to him. And that was one of the questions
Speaker 1: that didn't make the pregame show. Uh they cut it
Speaker 1: off when I did it ahead of time before the
Speaker 1: Arizona game. Yeah, and I was. I asked him about Parsons.
Speaker 1: I said, how's he doing? You know, he's a rookie,
Speaker 1: and you got I'm doing so many different things and
Speaker 1: he goes, well, now do you want me to give
Speaker 1: away secrets than what we're doing. So everyone's trying to
Speaker 1: ask Parsons how much comedy and he said because he
Speaker 1: never and he never answered it. He just said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a lot of work, but I
Speaker 1: love it. He goes, you know, they recognize the uh,
Speaker 1: the abilities I have, and they're not putting any limitations
Speaker 1: on me. He's from state, it's not like he's from
Speaker 1: some crazy but he was only there a couple of years.
Speaker 1: He learned quick. He learned something. All right. We continue
Speaker 1: with more mixed shots, and I can't wait to hear

Speaker 1: he's just trying to look younger, that's all. And so
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's got Tulane. That was a game that was originally
Speaker 1: scheduled for New Orleans and they moved it to Norman
Speaker 1: eleven am on Saturday. Is the Greenway still? That's what
Speaker 1: I was asking about the pross. They are They are
Speaker 1: at home. That's about the pro game. Packers instead of
Speaker 1: playing Packers playing on the boat. Packers play at home
Speaker 1: because Saints they're going to play in Jacksonville. Yeah, say so,
Speaker 1: why not just go to Green Bay because the Saints
Speaker 1: don't want to play want to play the game at
Speaker 1: on the road. Which what happened to him after Katrina.
Speaker 1: If you had to play the Giants and they played
Speaker 1: at MetLife, and you know, they would have much preferred
Speaker 1: to play at at and T Stadium since they're already
Speaker 1: here Bucas, Yes, oh yeah that And so they couldn't
Speaker 1: because they're setting up for the contract contract Mickey's favorite group.
Speaker 1: The contract had him a three day lead up to
Speaker 1: the to the to the concerts, so they most three
Speaker 1: day have a lot of pap for this thing. You
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be Uh. The Saints are practicing at
Speaker 1: TCU starting Monday, so they should just play at tc
Speaker 1: saw your report last night. You have to play in
Speaker 1: an NFL sanctioned stadium. That's a pretty good stadium there
Speaker 1: at TCU, I know, but in a NFL Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess there are some changes you have to make. As
Speaker 1: far as yeahs Offspring, I can't remember is still assistant Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he says what he's a he's a student assistant student.
Speaker 1: It's on the staff at TCC. I thought you meant
Speaker 1: on the Saints. I was gonna say, that's a dramatic
Speaker 1: rise we expected, um man, but there's some great man.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. If that game was at at
Speaker 1: and T, I think I would have gone, or at
Speaker 1: least said in the press box Packers Saints. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I want to see what Jamie's
Speaker 1: going to do. Well, Okay, so you go to Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: Okay here now there's there's there are more people interested
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville Jaguar football now with Trevor Lawrence ran Meyer,
Speaker 1: and they should be what kind of crowd will they
Speaker 1: give a larger crowd that they won't have a larger
Speaker 1: crowd for Saints and Packers, but they'll probably have a
Speaker 1: good showing there. Yeah. But but usually on games like
Speaker 1: that where there's not a season ticket base, your corporations
Speaker 1: have bought tickets and stuff and just walk up. If
Speaker 1: you're not getting walk up, yeah twenty five you think
Speaker 1: you know? And I'm waiting for somebody to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: but the Saints fans travel well, well they can't get
Speaker 1: you know what, they might be ready to go. Well,
Speaker 1: I know the people in Green Bay want to get
