WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Talk About Doomsday 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:09.520 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:19.439 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Nick shot 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.600 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:28.560 Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:34.640 and Nicky Spagnola. And here it is for the first 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.519 time in the sixty year history of the franchise on 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:43.680 a Wednesday. It is the day after a Dallas Cowboys game, 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.880 the first ever Tuesday night game in Dallas Cowboys history. 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:51.320 And right off the top, Everson Walls and Mickey Spagnola, 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.639 I have a suggestion, let's not play on Tuesday night 0:00:54.680 --> 0:01:01.440 anymore than I don't think it mattered Tuesday, Wednesday, Monday, 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.560 Sunday when you pick it, we've screwed it up. As 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.760 a matter of fact, Everson just just basically, I don't 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.000 know if he read my column already, but that was 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.920 my column. Beginning the lead to the column, I said, wow, 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.119 it's the first game in sixty one seasons on Tuesday. 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.479 It looked like the season opener. It looked like Monday 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.800 at night. It looked like Sunday night, looked like Sunday 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.600 at thirty. It looked like Sunday at noon, whatever other 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.560 day you want to say, Tuesday looked exactly the same. 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.039 They still could not know what they reminded me of. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.800 They reminded me of nineteen eighty nine. Oh my god, 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.080 that's all I kept thinking as I was watching the game. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.760 You know, I've been through with you. You know, I 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.720 try not to be so high as mighty like I've 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.760 won every championship or every game I played in. I've 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.920 been on some of the worst teams in Cowboys history. 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.640 So I know this feeling and I don't like it. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.360 And it's that deja vu all over again. That's something 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.560 that is not good for any franchise. I don't care 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:14.040 how storied you are. Ever soon after one in fifteen, 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.920 in nineteen eighty nine, where were you in nineteen ninety, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.800 I was in New Jersey. I was on the first 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.680 thing smoking to New Jersey. I made the phone. I 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.760 made the phone call right after Flipper Anderson beat Mark 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.040 Collins on that overtime playoff win. I'm on the phone 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:40.520 the next day, Monday. And how much longer before you 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:46.520 had a Super Bowl ring? It was about a year later. 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.919 My point is, there is hope, no matter how bad 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.680 it seems right now there is hope on the horizon, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.280 and that's why Mickey Spagnola is here. He is going 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.880 to give us hope right off the top their hope. 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.160 So they let you go. So the last line in 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:12.839 my column was, hope is fading like the winter sun. Hey, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.280 the winter sun in New Jersey. The winter sun in 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:23.720 New Jersey. Yeah. Oh, and that once again, Bill, you're 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:30.400 talking individual hope. Okay, I as an individual had hope. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.760 After that, the Cowboys team still didn't make the playoffs. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.080 That that that following year, it took him a couple 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.600 of years to make the playoffs. So yes, from a 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.360 team standpoint, hope springs eternal, but it's gonna take him 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.440 a couple of years if you're gonna go by your example. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.920 But wait a second, Mickey. It was a seventeen to 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.200 ten game at the end of the first half and 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.920 the Cowboys were going to the end zone on a 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.560 hail Mary. That hell Mary was not answered. What happened 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.680 to this team in the second half. They they decided 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.760 that they were going to run the ball, and run 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.920 the ball and run the ball. Well, here's what happened 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.520 in the second half, and it was a byproduct of 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.320 the first half. And what did I tell you? The 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.520 more field goals you kick, you closer to losing, and 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:26.920 especially when you don't make them. Hey, don't get mad man. 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.880 That was your pick to click guy. You know that's 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.800 a personal thing. It sounds like to me. I mean, 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.800 I don't like it he missed him either, But I 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.400 think that you're really pulling it on a bit extra 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.719 because that was your pick to click guy. Don't don't 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.440 get mad at him because he didn't live up to 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.920 your expectations. Clayton vander esh by the way, and he 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:53.320 didn't live up to me. Oh and Bill right by 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.719 the way. You know you you mentioned the hill, Mary 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.640 and the end zone. How about the interference call that 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.599 they blew at the thirty four yard line? How do 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:06.400 you miss that? How do you miss that? Now it 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.520 might have ended up field goal, but I don't know 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.719 how that would have turned out. But you know, the hell, 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:16.200 Mary would have been a shorter throat. Hey, as far 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.520 as I'm concerned, any blown call in a crucial situation, 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.600 it just changes everything. All the variables have changed. It 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.920 could mean that it could mean nothing, or it could 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.000 mean that the Cowboys take that spark and go on 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.320 and win the game. We've seen it happen too many 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.920 times where that timely call can be the breath that 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.560 you need to finish your task. As far as I'm concerned, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.880 once you blow a call like that, you don't know 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.880 what could have happened after that, And especially with the 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.680 fact that the Cowboys was so focused on going into 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.880 the end zone, you don't know what kind of change 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.480 it could have made. And that's what makes you so upset. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:00.680 It's it's the unknown, It's what we don't know, what 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.080 could have happened after us. What do you think that 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:07.080 the official was not more than ten yards away from it? 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.640 What do you think he was looking at? Was he 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.440 supposed to watch the ball? Was he watching the other 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.680 receivers on the other side of the field, Because this 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.760 was coming right at him and it was clearly a hold. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.159 It's not no exaggeration, and the ball was in the air. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:27.280 He spun him around and he misses the call. That's 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:32.359 just inexcusable. The guy should get fired, I think, because 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.280 somebody will get fired. Somebody will get fired or won't 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:40.960 get resigned because of this game, right, and he had 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.680 a hand in it. What are you doing. And you 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.680 know what, that's funny you say that spags because everyone, 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.680 of course is always talking about tanking. I've been on 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.960 some horrible teams, and I don't I don't think I 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.760 got the memo ever about tanking because when you tank, 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.800 it's got to be a universe so thing. It has 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.480 to be a coordinated effort, you know. So when you 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.880 start talking about tanking, does that mean, uh, we we 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.840 get a reduction in our salaries if we take. Does 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.520 that mean we tank the salaries? Does that mean that, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.760 I don't know, we go down on the on the 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.520 prices per ticket if we have all decided it's a tain. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.600 So I don't know who's in on it right now, 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.680 but I hope they're not thinking about taking. And I'll 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.880 tell you what, that guy's pretty lucky that the guy 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.680 that I sort of cut off this morning wasn't on 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.200 the field because I got the double bird this morning 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:42.040 when I come into work, really and it was an 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:48.560 emotional one too, and both hands off the wheel, So 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:54.360 that's what that guy. No, No, he recognized juice bags. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:08:01.800 It wasn't like driving probably yet. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.440 how do you did you express yourself to him? I 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.960 decided I wasn't going to just wave because he might 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.720 have thought I was being rude. We were going ten 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.440 miles an hour, We're coming to a stoplight. I just 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.040 changed lanes and the guy got all upset. And the 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:16.840 worst part was is he was going to get in 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.600 the right turn lane anyway. So I didn't cost him anything, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:25.760 but boy was he mad. Oh my lord, you better 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.240 be carefuls bags between bike riding and driving. You don't 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:34.040 do well at anything, I guess not. Let me tell 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.600 you there was a there was a stabbing at a 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.960 restaurant in parking lot yesterday morning, at a place near 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.360 near where I lived, and so and it was and 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.680 they said later it was a road rage incident, So 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.880 making you be careful on those roadways. I didn't respond 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.520 on the morning after a Cowboy loss. Yeah, I think 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.679 I think what they meant was a road game rage. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:02.000 The road game rage. That's what that was, Bill, you know. 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.840 And the shame of this whole thing was the offense 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:10.200 was kind of doing a little bit right. They were 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.760 kind of doing enough. They were moving the football. Yes, 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.679 they couldn't score. You didn't score in the red zone. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.959 You don't want to be kicking field goals like they 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.719 did on the opening drive, but at least they were 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:26.000 somewhat functional. Andy Dalton was able to throw for two 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.640 hundred and eighty five yards and only got sacked once. 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.720 Now he got hit a lot, and they had a 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.880 bunch of tackles for losses. So you know, but from 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.760 if you just put in context the Cowboys offensive line 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.240 and what they've been and what they were able to do, 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:46.680 it was kind of okay, right, But no, the defense 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.599 got to give up thirty four more points, got to 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:55.000 give up two hundred and ninety four yards rushing two 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:59.840 hundred ninety four only top by Cleveland's three h seven. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.520 You know I talked about before and Troy Troy Aikman 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:10.560 was on him all night long, and let's just be real. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.160 I'm I'm not happy to hear Troy talk about our 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.200 team like that. I know he's not happy to do it. 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.800 You've got all the fans out there and they're upset 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:25.959 about his commentary. Sometimes he tries to be politically correct 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.000 in what he says about this defense, but last night, 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.920 all gloves were off, and I must admit it was 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:39.560 justified because everything he talked about came into fruition. He 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.720 talked about why is Lamar Jackson even trying to throw 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.160 a pass? Yeah, he said, they don't even need to 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.760 throw a pass, just keep running the ball over and 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.760 over again. And when that statement is made by a 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.920 commentator and it's known to be true by all fans 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.160 and anyone watching the game, what do you do with that? 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.480 What can you say? What kind of answer can you 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.440 have with that? Because you have no answer on the field. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:12.320 And it's not just the system itself. To me, it's 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.040 just bone head plays. Sometimes you just look at what's 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.400 going on. And I talk about the inside leverage by 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:25.199 the defensive backs. Dexter Clinkscale texted me last night about 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.920 the horrid play from the Cowboys secondary and I couldn't 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.560 even take up for him. Each time you see a 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.760 defensive back making a mistake on the pass, he has 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.200 zero leverage on the wide receiver. He always seems to 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.240 be in the trail position, or it always seems that 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.679 his reaction is a beat slower than the wide receiver. 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.800 There's no anticipation, there's no instinct at all. There's no 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.760 leverage on anything that we do. So the run situation 0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:02.400 aside run situation, run defensive side, our secondary in regards 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.400 to pass coverage, we've got to be the most coolest 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.760 players I've seen in a long time. Well, the first 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.000 touchdown pass, no one covered Boykins. You know what, I 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.000 could have ran that route? No one covered him. He 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:22.360 went right across the linebackers and Darien Thompson just kind 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.280 of froze, and those Woozier's covering somebody out there in 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.400 the flat and there's only one The safeties were on 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.080 the other side where the other receivers were, and no 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.880 one covered him. It's a busted coverage and had nothing 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.599 to do with leverage. It had to do with recognition. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.840 And then the other one that they gave up, the 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:44.280 deep pass. You've got a practice squad cornerback out there 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.480 having to start at I don't know what he was 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:52.480 looking at, and he gets turned around ash and then 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:56.960 the interference call. I don't know Xavier Woods was thinking about. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.320 But he only completed twelve passes. You got beat by 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:06.280 a quarterback who completed twelve passes, and two of them 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.400 were for more than half the yards he completed that 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.720 he gained throwing the ball. Think about that, the two passes. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.840 I think it ended up being the two touchdowns fifty 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.360 eight yards. He only threw for one hundred and five, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.360 so he had ten passes basically for like forty nine yards. 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.800 And you got beat because you can't stop the run. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.920 You can't figure out when they've got a fullback in 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.600 the game, when they've got two tight ends in the game. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.120 When it's fourth in two and Lamar Jackson's at quarterback, 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.480 what do you think they're gonna do. They're gonna run 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.920 the ball. They're gonna run the ball, and no, there 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.120 you got with one linebacker in the middle of the 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.120 field and the skinny ass safety sitting there next to him. 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.600 What do you think the result was gonna be? Well, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.160 the problem on the Lamar Jackson touchdown runners the linebacker 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.200 that was supposed to be in that gap went to 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.480 the other side of the field. He made a false step, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.520 but he didn't have anybody there for backup. Though there 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.599 was no other linebacker. What if you had three linebackers 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.240 on the field? God forbid? That was that infamous. That 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.440 was that infamous zero coverage that has been known to 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:27.480 get some people from fired here lately. I must say 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.640 in this regard, I remember playing against the Rams nineteen 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:36.760 eighty five wildcard playoff game. We were in Anaheim. You've 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.280 got Eric Dickerson in the backfield, and you've got probably 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.840 the shortest quarterback besides Kylin Murray in the history of 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:49.560 the NFL. Did Brock remember him? Yeah, Canadians from candid 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:54.200 If I'm not mistaken, they threw I think maybe five 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.920 times that game. We picked him off twice. I'm sorry 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.120 we picked him off only once because Randy White jumped 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.920 off sides twice or jumped off sides on the second interception. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.560 My thing is this, they're gonna do what they're gonna do. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.920 Every Dickerson ran for a guy two hundred by himself. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.360 He outland what we just gave up last night by himself. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.720 He ran that on us on our doomsday defense nineteen 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:25.520 eighty five. But when they rose up to pass, we 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.560 did what we had to do. He was totally inept 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.040 in as a passer, and I guess that's my pet Peeve. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.760 As a quarnerback, I can't do much about the running plays, 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.160 But when you've got an inept passer in that backfield 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.800 and at that quarterback position, you cannot let him extend 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.920 any plays in regards to your position in the secondary. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.680 In other words, you can't give up a touchdown pass 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.200 to a quarterback who is laboring right now in regards 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.960 to his proper passing tech. Deal. So, yes, you don't 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.960 stop the run, but there are times when we did 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.440 put ourselves in a good position to stop him, forced 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.520 them into a third and long and into a pass 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:12.240 and either he scrambled for a first down or he 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.320 was able to find someone wide open because of a 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.040 blown coverage. My thing, as a defensive back, you do 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:21.320 what you must do in regards to your position. I 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:25.920 picked off data block twice that that day, but only 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.080 one counted because of the off side. But my point 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.920 is you can't have anyone wide open in the secondary 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.280 after you finally finally got him in a position to 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.040 where you want them, And that goes to a position 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.120 of leverage, That goes to a position of being bone head, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.200 That goes to a position of not knowing what you're 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.840 doing and not having instincts at all in the secondary. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.920 So you can't compound your problems within APT two. That's 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.280 my points. Fags. I get it, we can't stop the run, 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.520 but damn, you've got a guy back here passing for touchdowns, 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.920 who has had the worst passing of his career, even 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.320 worse than his rookie year. To me, that's the plant 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.199 that needs to be made as well. Well, here's the 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.480 other point. He never got touched, no sacks, no quarterback hits. 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.360 That's it. He was free, and this is a guy 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:20.280 that hadn't and there were times should hit them. Oh 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.680 my god, he was here. If there were grasshoppers out there, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:28.119 he was killing grasshoppers on the field. It reminded me, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.359 my friend, it could have been more. It could have 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.040 been more. Some guys were wild open. He just missed them. 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.879 It reminded me my freshman year at Missouri when I 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.000 got there and everybody was talking about what a great 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:43.439 football program this was, and we are our block for 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:47.040 our dorm floor was like the first row in the 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.280 end zone. We couldn't see anything, but all we could 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.159 see because it was the opener, were grasshoppers all the 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.879 way right and the and the Missouri quarterbacks. He was 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.359 thrown so many in completions. The grasshoppers were jumping up 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.200 off the ground because they were ready to get killed 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:06.040 by passes. That's what he reminded me of. How many 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.440 times you throw the ball in the ground, and yet 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:13.080 you win the game thirty four to seventeen. Just amazing. 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.240 Seven on seven, that's what it looked like. It looked 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.920 like seven on seven. He was standing back there so long. 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.119 Do you realize they had of their yardage and it 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.600 was I believe it was four oh one if I 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:29.280 remember correctly, total yards yep, two hundred and six of 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:34.720 it came on seven plays. Seven plays accounted for two 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.000 hundred and six yards, and only two of them were 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:41.600 pass plays. The rest of them were runs. So how 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.520 do you expect to win a game when you're giving 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.719 up yardage like that on big plays and you're not 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.880 getting any You're just kind of going D D DK 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.920 but moving down field until you couldn't do it enough 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.040 to you had to kick field goals. But two hundred 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.000 seven plays, you divide two hundred and six by seven, 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:06.760 and that's almost thirty yards of play. I'm at a 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.680 loss of how you can play defense that bad. That's 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:17.440 what Choice said, you know what, And I'm also it 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.479 seems like I'm also not buying the excuse that they 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.480 didn't have any energy or they weren't trying. No, they 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.760 were trying. It just wasn't working. They worked good enough. 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.480 And by the way, that Rams playoff loss back in 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.280 the nineteen eighty five season, brock HWard had a total 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:45.040 of fifty yards passing or no, no, no, it was 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:51.199 Yeah it was. Dieter Brock had fifty yards passing in 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.400 that game. And Eric Dickerson ran for two hundred and 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.240 forty nine yards on thirty four carries. Yea, and the 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:03.119 Baltimore Evans ran for more yards than Eric Nickerson and 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:08.600 Rams did. Is that forgettable playoff game in nineteen eighty five? 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.240 All right, we're just getting started here on mix shots 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.960 and we're back with more in a moment.

More road rage 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:43.760 for Mickey and others as road game rage as they 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.920 play at Cincinnati at noon on Sunday and then back 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:51.280 home to take on the San Francisco forty nine ers. 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:56.639 And Mickey and Everson not only you two and a 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.600 lot of Cowboys fans are fed up with watching this 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:03.119 team right now, but so are the networks, apparently, because 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:05.960 the Cowboys have been flexed out of the Sunday night 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:09.440 game against San Francisco. Wow, They've been moved to noon 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:14.679 that day at eighteen WHOA, that is extreme. They go 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:20.600 from you you go to New Wow, They're still gonna 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:22.400 have manager in the eyes when they play that game, 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:27.200 They're like, whoa, if if the if the London, if 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.960 the London eight thirty am window on Sunday were available, 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:32.879 they would have gotten they would have flexed them to 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:36.560 eight thirty am on Sunday. But they feel like Cowboys 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:40.080 fans need to go to church. They feel like Cowboys 0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:42.280 fans need to go to church, even if it's just 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:45.840 online on Sunday morning, so you can get out of 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:49.320 your your church online session and then go pray for 0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:53.560 your Cowboys starting getting new. Think about this. Think about 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:59.040 this though, Think about this. Cleveland Giants Cowboys forty nine ers, 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.320 even though the Cowboys are three and nine, which one 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:09.640 you think would get the highest ratings resolutely, but three 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:15.840 and nine, three and nine out trump the Cowboys national 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:18.400 appeal for the first time. Now, I don't know if 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:22.600 this site's legitimate or night. I saw somebody quoting uh 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.240 at five h six sports, and basically all they do 0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:32.120 is give you who's playing where, what time, what time slot, 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.360 who's who's broadcasting the game. And they are claiming that 0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.960 since Sunday Night football started in two thousand and six, 0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.800 if that's accurate, this is the first time the Cowboys 0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:46.199 have ever been flexed out of a game, not into 0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:49.280 a game, out of a game. And I can believe 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.159 it because I can't. I can't. Well, there was no 0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:56.520 Sunday Night football in eighty nine. It was Monday Night, right, Um, 0:24:56.600 --> 0:25:02.520 I can't remember a game getting flexed out of that's 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:06.840 imports Well, think about it. How many how many times 0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:10.199 have the Cowboys, you know, Jason Garrett had three straight 0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:12.679 eight and eight seasons, and so they were still in 0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:15.159 it down to the end of the season, right in 0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:19.320 those three seasons they're in outside of the four and 0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:23.480 twelve year I mean that when Romo got hurt U 0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:27.240 twenty fifteen, you know, the Cowboys just probably didn't happen 0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:29.640 to have a Sunday night game scheduled for the last 0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:31.600
