Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is Nick shot, streaming live on Dallascowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones,
Speaker 1: Savannah Humoller, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 3: High noon on a Wednesday here at the Star in
Speaker 3: Frasco inside the SWBC podcast studio. And that means it's
Speaker 3: the official start of Carolina Panthers Week. Why the expression, Mickey.
Speaker 4: Well, I was trying to on my legal pad here, Yes,
Speaker 4: come up with some things on the Panthers. Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: that might concern you.
Speaker 3: They got the number one overall pick of the draft.
Speaker 4: I was going to say all I can give you
Speaker 4: because I'm three quarters of the way down the page
Speaker 4: and I hadn't found anything that.
Speaker 3: If you don't watch it, Mickey, they are going to
Speaker 3: be playing mix shots in the team meeting room of
Speaker 3: the Caravan Panthers, and they're going to get themselves fired
Speaker 3: up for some football off the upset.
Speaker 4: As I reminded everybody that in the last three games
Speaker 4: they've scored thirteen, thirteen and fifteen, but they won with
Speaker 4: fifteen against one.
Speaker 3: Of the hottest teams like the Houston Texans fifth.
Speaker 5: They have a decent defense, right, I mean, that's that's gotta.
Speaker 3: Be Well, they gave Lease up. He just said, he
Speaker 3: just said what they scored. They gave up back to
Speaker 3: back weeks of forty two points against Detroit and Miami
Speaker 3: a month ago.
Speaker 4: And they beat They beat Houston with two hundred and
Speaker 4: twenty nine total yards.
Speaker 2: Was going with you in that game?
Speaker 4: They must have thought it was Carolina to.
Speaker 5: The two quarterbacks, the two rookie quarterbacks were going up against.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and Bryce Young proved he's the better of
Speaker 3: the two, and since then CJ. Stroud has proven he's
Speaker 3: not only the better of the two, he's one of
Speaker 3: the best in the history of the National Football League.
Speaker 3: He's the best rookie quarterback ever.
Speaker 2: But I have to worry about him.
Speaker 3: Fortunately, Cowboys fans don't have to worry about us getting
Speaker 3: fired up to face the Carolina Panthers. They've got to
Speaker 3: be worried about the ones down the hallway.
Speaker 2: All Panthers. Right.
Speaker 3: No, we are not, no, And every team in the
Speaker 3: league is capable. That's outside of the one they played
Speaker 3: on Sunday.
Speaker 4: The Giants. They pay their guys.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's mixed messaging.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I was trying to say the same
Speaker 3: thing last week, to the point that I actually predicted
Speaker 3: a final score of only nineteen to three.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that was just yeah, that was a gimmick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 5: Well, Nate pretty much solidified on how we felt about
Speaker 5: it as a unit when he said one hundred to nothing.
Speaker 3: Yep, so they fell short.
Speaker 4: Of Actually, as accurate as we are with our scores,
Speaker 4: we should always have a gimmick then we have a right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, accurate was very accurate.
Speaker 3: One big walking bit.
Speaker 2: We have that, that's right.
Speaker 3: So any news on this day, and we talked about
Speaker 3: Layton van Derresh yesterday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a few of the players talked about it.
Speaker 4: Dimoon Clark, you know, who kind of went through the
Speaker 4: same thing that Layton went through, what three four years
Speaker 4: ago with the next surgery, and he talked about how
Speaker 4: nateon Natan Layton was with him after the surgery and
Speaker 4: once he got here every step of the way trying
Speaker 4: to help him out, help him out what he was
Speaker 4: going through. So that was enlightening. And as DeMarcus Lawrence said,
Speaker 4: you know, we all would rather walk away on our
Speaker 4: terms than on on the league's terms. And well, and
Speaker 4: he's a young guy, and I've heard that forever. You know,
Speaker 4: if you're lucky enough to walk away on your own terms,
Speaker 4: then to have someone tell you you're done. So well,
Speaker 4: he's out for the year, and it just sounds like
Speaker 4: it's probably his career.
Speaker 2: Talking about Vandrys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, and as we talked about yesterday, they've got
Speaker 4: to they need to find a way to get Evans
Speaker 4: on the fifty three man roster. Now, I don't know,
Speaker 4: you know, do you sit there and go, well, it's
Speaker 4: just Carolina. They're only averaging seventeen points a game, and
Speaker 4: maybe we go through one more game before we put
Speaker 4: them on the fifty three. I'm not sure how they're
Speaker 4: looking at it, but I don't see someone on the roster.
Speaker 4: I think I said it yesterday that you could release
Speaker 4: and get them on the practice squad. That will clear waits.
Speaker 3: Anyone nursing an injury.
Speaker 4: That's what you have to find. Somebody is nursing an injury.
Speaker 4: But the only guy who was on the injury was.
Speaker 3: At a someone at a position of depth. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: it's not retroactive either, So like in the case of Turpin, right,
Speaker 3: if you yeah, that does since he missed the last game,
Speaker 3: it's not like baseball where you could make it retroactive
Speaker 3: to the last game he played in.
Speaker 4: Correct, and you didn't have anybody else on the injury list.
Speaker 4: So somebody's got to get hurt in practice and the
Speaker 4: way they practic, well, I shouldn't say that because Tyron
Speaker 4: came down with a stare in practice they need it.
Speaker 5: Well's an exception they need it lately. He's an exception
Speaker 5: to who.
Speaker 4: They need go on ir for four week injuries that
Speaker 4: they don't absolutely need.
Speaker 3: Right, speaking of injuries, the news around the league today
Speaker 3: in Cleveland, you got Deshaun Watson, DeShawn Watson out for
Speaker 3: the year.
Speaker 2: What happened his shoulder?
Speaker 3: He just played, yes, and he he injured his shoulder
Speaker 3: late in the first quarter of what turned out to
Speaker 3: be a win over the Baltimore Ravens. He played the
Speaker 3: rest of the game, went fourteen for fourteen I think
Speaker 3: in the second half of that game, and went in
Speaker 3: for an MRI yesterday and it revealed and he also
Speaker 3: had a high ankle sprain, but he did. He played
Speaker 3: through both and then it gets revealed today that he's
Speaker 3: got a.
Speaker 4: It's about time someone figured out they're a top ten team.
Speaker 3: Nate Newton with a Cammeo appearance and they it to
Speaker 3: non displaced fracture in his shoulder and out for the year,
Speaker 3: needs surgery.
Speaker 4: So non displace.
Speaker 3: I think it's non displaced fracture.
Speaker 4: Does that mean the fractures stayed together.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just know that he's out for the year. And
Speaker 3: so he played well, that's the thing he's been bothered by.
Speaker 3: I think it was a shoulder injury and.
Speaker 2: He barely finishes the game starts.
Speaker 3: Well, here's what you know what Cleveland did.
Speaker 4: Cheap shot there, but I didn't take it well.
Speaker 3: And but to his credit in this last game now
Speaker 3: now playing with a non displaced fracture in his throwing arm,
Speaker 3: his shoulder, he finished the game against the Raven big
Speaker 3: game for the Browns and played well in the second.
Speaker 2: That was his best moment of the year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so, but how about what the brown did
Speaker 3: in the preseason. Now they drafted Dorian Thompson Robinson who's
Speaker 3: now going to start for them this week against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: And Thompson Robinson out of UCLA I liked in the draft,
Speaker 3: the fourth round pick. He lit it up in the
Speaker 3: preseason to the point that they had a guy on
Speaker 3: their roster, another veteran quarterback named Joshua Dobbs who they
Speaker 3: traded to the Arizona Cardinals in late August. And he
Speaker 3: goes on to start a week later for the Cardinals
Speaker 3: and beat the Cowboys. And then he gets traded in
Speaker 3: Minnesota and he's two to zero in games he's played
Speaker 3: in for the Vikings. Well, they don't have him anymore
Speaker 3: in Cleveland, so they went and they had to go
Speaker 3: get when Watson got hurt, they had to go get PJ. Walker. Thompson.
Speaker 3: Robinson started one game, did not farewell against Baltimore and
Speaker 3: a twenty eight to three loss, and then PJ. Walker
Speaker 3: has fared worse. So now they're going with dtr this week.
Speaker 3: But I went bigger picture look around the league. Now,
Speaker 3: quarterback injuries in this league, And on my drive in
Speaker 3: I figured out there is a least one quarterback in
Speaker 3: every division in the NFL that is either out for
Speaker 3: the year or has missed multiple games due to injury.
Speaker 3: You take it from the NFC East Daniel Jones out
Speaker 3: for the year, with the Giants. NFC North, Kirk Cousins
Speaker 3: out for the year with the torn achilles for the Vikings.
Speaker 3: NFC South, Derek Carr goes down the other day. I'm
Speaker 3: not sure how what his prognosis is going forward.
Speaker 4: That didn't look good.
Speaker 3: NFC West Kyler Murray missed the first half of the
Speaker 3: season coming off the ACL injury. You go to the
Speaker 3: AFC and the obviously in the East, Aaron Rodgers with
Speaker 3: the achilles on the fourth play of the season. AFC
Speaker 3: North now DeShawn Watson's out for the year, AFC South
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, the rookie quarterback for the Colts, out for
Speaker 3: the year, and AFC West Garoppolo in Vegas. Every division
Speaker 3: in football has lost a starting quarterback for multiple games.
Speaker 4: And why do you think that?
Speaker 6: Is?
Speaker 4: Offensive lines?
Speaker 5: No protection, no protection. I mean, that's that's what you see.
Speaker 4: That's why what took place in the fourth quarter in
Speaker 4: that Giants game for the Cowboys was invaluable. I was
Speaker 4: talking with Cooper Rush and uh and I said, well,
Speaker 4: I bet you got more snaps in that game than
Speaker 4: you did for the last two weeks combined. He goes, combined,
Speaker 4: he goes, that's more snaps than I've gotten in like forever. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because Dak. You know, Schottenheimer pointed it out in his
Speaker 4: press conference on Monday that Dak's kind of greedy. He
Speaker 4: wants all the snaps.
Speaker 2: So hey, when you're on the road like that, you
Speaker 2: never want the evening to end.
Speaker 4: Rush gets none, he gets none. And so he was saying,
Speaker 4: I can't tell you how valuable that was because we
Speaker 4: were not just in there to hand the ball off
Speaker 4: and run out the clock. We were running our offense. Yes,
Speaker 4: And I said, what about for those young offense linemen.
Speaker 4: He goes, Oh, he goes, that's amazing for them because
Speaker 4: we were we were not just running the ball. We
Speaker 4: were playing football. And for those young guys that get
Speaker 4: that those snaps because they get maybe a crumbs in practice.
Speaker 4: All right, Tyran doesn't need to go every or Zach
Speaker 4: doesn't need every snap. You know, you get in there, TJ.
Speaker 4: Bass and he was talking about how valuable that quarter
Speaker 4: was that they actually played football and it was football
Speaker 4: because in practice they're not doing what happened in the
Speaker 4: fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: Can get that kind of work these days?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and then you're welcome, by the.
Speaker 7: Way, Yeah, right then, you also look at what the
Speaker 7: Cowboys did acquiring Trey Lance and what they've done for
Speaker 7: their quarterback room, providing extra depth in case of an
Speaker 7: inn injury.
Speaker 3: And we've said it after that trade, and you know,
Speaker 3: two months ago we said this quarterback room is as
Speaker 3: good as any when you look at the depth of it,
Speaker 3: as good as any in the league.
Speaker 5: You think Trey thought he was going to play Trey Lance.
Speaker 4: No, because he can't.
Speaker 2: He can't know.
Speaker 4: Okay, they've got to have two injuries. Yeah, he better
Speaker 4: not have thought.
Speaker 3: But that's it's just the nature of the beat. And
Speaker 3: we're just halfway through this thing. You know, we're just
Speaker 3: halfway through this season and you've already Producer Supreme mentioned
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford's another one in FC West. He's supposedly going
Speaker 3: to be back this week. But I mean, season ending
Speaker 3: injuries for quarterbacks. It's very prevalent around the league.
Speaker 4: Well, just go back to last year. San Francisco loses
Speaker 4: three quarterbacks right.
Speaker 3: Down three as it turned out by the time they
Speaker 3: they finished champions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they lost Garoppolo from the.
Speaker 3: Start, where they lost Lance from the start and start,
Speaker 3: and then they had Garoppolo. He goes down. Then party
Speaker 3: goes down, and once he ran became.
Speaker 4: The and then Johnson. It was Johnson right the concussion
Speaker 4: in the playoff game, and Perdy had to go back
Speaker 4: in because he couldn't but he couldn't throw the foot.
Speaker 2: Old school right then, Yeah, right, hey, hey, come on
Speaker 2: back up.
Speaker 3: We need you. All right, We're just getting started on
Speaker 3: a Wednesday edition of Mixed Shots. Lots to get to
Speaker 3: on Mickey's legal pad when we come back.
Speaker 8: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they snapped.
Speaker 4: The press out.
Speaker 3: Who looks right, it's not there. He escapes left. He'll
Speaker 3: want for a first down.
Speaker 8: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important

Speaker 3: You did it with emotion, though I.
Speaker 2: Know I always try to put you know, inflect.
Speaker 3: You know, Mickey has been retired from that position, and
Speaker 3: rightfully so and gratefully.
Speaker 4: I need I need cape post, roofing and waterproofing on
Speaker 4: the floor.
Speaker 5: Of the I think I'm going to need it. I'm
Speaker 5: going to need it at my house. I promise you
Speaker 5: I'm going to need at my house.
Speaker 3: Don't get me and into home improvement right now after
Speaker 3: spending my morning with a plumber.
Speaker 2: And you've been bemoaning that for quite.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, so what are the two what are the
Speaker 3: two worst words you as a homeowner could hear?
Speaker 5: I don't know, deny, denied funding.
Speaker 3: Actually actually it could be worse. I mean it could
Speaker 3: house fire would not be foundation work found. No, my
Speaker 3: two are slab leak. And that's what I heard this morning.
Speaker 3: So we are going to re route.
Speaker 4: I just I just watched them bury my money underneath
Speaker 4: the slab when it had to be fixed. You tunneled,
Speaker 4: They tunneled.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, we we got an estimate on it.
Speaker 3: Do you know they can actually, ever soon go underneath
Speaker 3: the foundation and fix a leak. They call it scuba
Speaker 3: dives tunnel underneath your house.
Speaker 4: They basically tunnel enough that that I could have walked underneath.
Speaker 3: I was wondering how large that tunnel would be.
Speaker 8: It was deep.
Speaker 3: I think my house would fall over. I'm not. All
Speaker 3: they had to do.
Speaker 2: All they had to do was that's what I was.
Speaker 3: All they had to do was say ten k and
Speaker 3: and we're not tunneling. But they fixed it now for
Speaker 3: a pretty penny. Yours was more than that.
Speaker 4: And the insurance company didn't cover it.
Speaker 2: Okay, my problem with roofing. Yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 3: Now we re route to Carolina. What's next on Mickey's
Speaker 3: legal pad on this Wednesday?
Speaker 4: So Carolina has scored no more than seventeen points. In
Speaker 4: six of their games. They twenty ninth and scoring thirtieth
Speaker 4: in yards per game two seventy five, thirty first in
Speaker 4: first down conversions. So they've had problems offensively. They're twenty
Speaker 4: eighth and sacks allowed. Bryce Young's been sacked twenty nine
Speaker 4: times and he's got a quarterback rating of seventy five
Speaker 4: point nine. And I don't know if that's him. I
Speaker 4: don't know if he doesn't have much around him. Adam
Speaker 4: Thielen is their leading receiver.
Speaker 5: Man, what did what did Adam do to anybody to
Speaker 5: end up Carolina.
Speaker 4: Sixty eight catch? Yeah, So offensively, they've been pretty much challenged. Defensively,
Speaker 4: you know, at times they've they've been okay. I want
Speaker 4: to say their ranking is you.
Speaker 5: Know, you try to look for things. What I look
Speaker 5: for them is okay, Yeah, they've had problems. But how
Speaker 5: did they play at home?
Speaker 3: Well, they are we'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 3: But they are seventh seventh in the league in total
Speaker 3: yards allowed defensively, but they're thirtieth in the league and
Speaker 3: points allowed.
Speaker 2: What really quickly go alpha turnovers?
Speaker 3: There could be turnovers involved in that. Now they're turnover ratio.
Speaker 3: They are thirty first in the league in takeaways. Yes,
Speaker 3: they're thirteenth in the league in giveaways, so takeaways.
Speaker 4: Twenty ninth in sacks defensively, seventeen they are.
Speaker 3: They have seven takeaways on the season. They I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: is that right?
Speaker 4: Seventeen?
Speaker 3: No, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: What did I say? Takeaways?
Speaker 3: Yeah, takeaways. They have two fumble recoveries in five interceptions. Yeah, seven,
Speaker 3: so it is seven.
Speaker 2: Yes, you don't want to believe it.
Speaker 4: No, I got it right here, we're talking about Bill,
Speaker 4: he was himself.
Speaker 2: Must be seventeen.
Speaker 4: It must be, which is which is weird because they've
Speaker 4: given up twenty six point nine points a game, but
Speaker 4: haven't given up that many yards, So they.
Speaker 3: Must be passing pass defense sixth in the league and
Speaker 3: pass defense six uh as far as passing yards, which
Speaker 3: also tells me because they are twenty sixth in the
Speaker 3: league in rush defense, as teams are getting ahead of
Speaker 3: them and they don't have to pass the football anymore.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 4: Word to the wise, get out to a lead on
Speaker 4: this team and make them play ketchup, just like they
Speaker 4: did in this game. And that's why I always think
Speaker 4: they should take the ball if they get a decision
Speaker 4: on the kickoff to start.
Speaker 5: The game, especially on the road. Do you think Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think especially on the road. I mean maybe not home,
Speaker 5: because home you want to.
Speaker 4: Might be a whole game for the Cowboys because I
Speaker 4: would have made Carolina fans are not real happy and
Speaker 4: the tickets will be available for Cowboy fans if they
Speaker 4: want it.
Speaker 5: I still get fan from Carolina, do you come, because
Speaker 5: it's a lot of Cowboy fans there?
Speaker 2: And then old school, old school fans.
Speaker 5: This before Carolina came into existence, we had major Carolina
Speaker 5: fans that were, you know, Dallas Cowboy fans.
Speaker 3: Okay, when you look at who they've played, Okay, all right.
Speaker 3: They lost to Atlanta twenty four to ten, lost to
Speaker 3: New Orleans twenty to seventeen. Seattle as a pretty good
Speaker 3: team this year. Or they're watch six and three, okay,
Speaker 3: tied with San Francisco at the top of the third Division.
Speaker 3: They gave up thirty seven to Seattle. They lost thirty
Speaker 3: seven to twenty seven. Then Minnesota they lost twenty one
Speaker 3: to thirteen.
Speaker 4: That was back when Minnesota was bad though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, that was before Joshua adopts, before they won five,
Speaker 3: before they won five, and it may have been right
Speaker 3: at the beginning of their five game win streak. All right,
Speaker 3: then they played at Detroit and Miami back to back,
Speaker 3: and they gave up eighty four points total in those
Speaker 3: two games. They gave up forty two a piece to
Speaker 3: forty two a piece to Detroit and Miami. So I
Speaker 3: can already tell you that on Friday, you're picking my
Speaker 3: point total for the Cowboys will be forty two points.
Speaker 2: And that's what happens with research.
Speaker 3: Yes, and so then after that they after a bye week,
Speaker 3: they beat Houston got their only win fifteen thirteen, and
Speaker 3: then the last two weeks against Indianapolis featuring Gardner Minshew
Speaker 3: at quarterback, they lost twenty seven to thirteen, and then
Speaker 3: against Chicago with Tyler Beagent however you say his name,
Speaker 3: I think they lost Beijing. Yeah, sixteen thirteen, they lost.
Speaker 3: They've had the many by though, and what they do
Speaker 3: when they came off their bye week they won their
Speaker 3: only game. Ah, they fear in your heart Thursday, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they played last Thursday.
Speaker 4: That's why when you go in and you play these games,
Speaker 4: it's about yourself. If you're gonna look at any trend,
Speaker 4: I'm looking for one.
Speaker 5: Well, they played decent at home. They played decent at home.
Speaker 3: Saints seventy eight point lost in Minnesota one over Houston
Speaker 3: at home. That's a great point there.
Speaker 2: That's all you got. You gotta look for something the Coats.
Speaker 2: That was a tough one. I don't know what happened,
Speaker 2: by the way.
Speaker 5: That's that's really Those are the things that you have
Speaker 5: to look at. Yeah, so when you go into a game,
Speaker 5: you're not blindsided. You're like, Okay, we've been looking at
Speaker 5: the overall picture.
Speaker 2: These guys suck. That's what we're gonna be thinking. You're
Speaker 2: gonna go in.
Speaker 5: If you're casual enough, you think something like that, and
Speaker 5: then you get surprised and then the next thing, you know,
Speaker 5: you look at the stats and you go, you know what, guys,
Speaker 5: I didn't realize how good they played at home.
Speaker 2: That kind of crack.
Speaker 4: And the Cowboys are only two and three on the road.
Speaker 5: So those are the things that you know, those are
Speaker 5: the caution every tails right there.
Speaker 3: You know what that Indianapolis game they lost twenty seven
Speaker 3: to thirteen. You know how Indianapolis scored two of their
Speaker 3: touchdowns pick sixes by Kenny Moore. So it wasn't their
Speaker 3: defense give it up the points. Bryce Young through three
Speaker 3: interceptions in that game, and two of them were returned
Speaker 3: for touchdowns by Kenny Moore.
Speaker 5: So that means our defense needs to come to play
Speaker 5: to shut it down. When we talked last week, Bill
Speaker 5: wasn't here, but me and Nate were just talking about
Speaker 5: how we need to just smash these guys. That's easy
Speaker 5: to and you expect it when you're at home. I mean,
Speaker 5: you just expect that we played well against losing teams
Speaker 5: at home. But all of a sudden we go on
Speaker 5: the road. There's always some little hitch. So to me,
Speaker 5: that cautionary tail, you know, it needs to be It
Speaker 5: needs to be listened to, It needs to be expected.
Speaker 5: You know that they're going to come with us defensively
Speaker 5: with everything that they have. So we go out there
Speaker 5: thinking this is going to be an easy game on
Speaker 5: offensively because hey, we just came off of six hundred
Speaker 5: plus yard game. You know we're gonna go in there
Speaker 5: with that chest out. But then that defense is going
Speaker 5: to be waiting on us.
Speaker 4: So do you consider the Cowboys victory over the Chargers
Speaker 4: a good road win? I think should have been better.
Speaker 2: No, I think seventeen a road win. I think so too.
Speaker 3: I think I stride coming out after that San Francisco game.
Speaker 2: We could have easily buckled.
Speaker 3: And that was that was a pressure game, right because
Speaker 3: into the by, you're going into the by, and you
Speaker 3: had to get that win to be above five hundred,
Speaker 3: going into by.
Speaker 5: A talented offensive team that we held at seventeen points.
Speaker 3: Who in Herbert's got seventeen touchdown passes and five picks
Speaker 3: this year. Now, granted against the Cowboys, he missed a
Speaker 3: couple the throws. It could have been touchdowns and so hey,
Speaker 3: but that's that's another reason why, Okay, you're happy that
Speaker 3: you got out of that one with a win.
Speaker 5: You know that wasn't I wouldn't. I wouldn't attribute that
Speaker 5: to any type of luck, though.
Speaker 3: I would and coming into the season and even now,
Speaker 3: even though the Chargers are like at four and five
Speaker 3: right now, I look at them as a playoff team.
Speaker 2: They're not pushovers.
Speaker 5: I'm sure the amount of points they aren't that that
Speaker 5: much or how much how much they've.
Speaker 4: Lost so since they lost by, since they got beat
Speaker 4: by San Francisco, they've averaged The Cowboys have averaged thirty
Speaker 4: three point seven points a game with a low of
Speaker 4: those twenty.
Speaker 5: But but you know, as we you know, we'd like
Speaker 5: to be put things in the perspective here, right, all
Speaker 5: of those teams weren't that good, and they should have
Speaker 5: they should have beaten them.
Speaker 8: Yes, exactly, But that's a game.
Speaker 5: That's the one that really showed me just how much
Speaker 5: we can answer well.
Speaker 3: And then when you when you look at the road
Speaker 3: games for the Cowboys, I think you have to take
Speaker 3: them individually to figure out, Okay, do the Cowboys have
Speaker 3: a problem on the road or were their circumstances involved.
Speaker 3: At the Giants, they won forty to nothing. They were
Speaker 3: a pretty good road team that week. At Arizona, everybody
Speaker 3: knew the Giants were the Giants.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but not not the first game of the season.
Speaker 4: There were people predicting.
Speaker 3: No, that's what I'm saying, before before we figured out.
Speaker 4: What the Giants giants.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, at Arizona, bad road team, but you're playing
Speaker 3: without three offensive linemen.
Speaker 2: Okay, so with the heck of a question, that doesn't
Speaker 2: mean against the person that happens to be.
Speaker 3: Turns out it turns out to be Okay, Yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Know what, And I kept saying that without the three
Speaker 4: offensive lineman, but.
Speaker 2: Without the three offensive but he didn't.
Speaker 4: Have to give up twenty eight points, right right, all right?
Speaker 3: And then San Francisco, that was not a good road
Speaker 3: trip at the Chargers to them, and that's a good one.
Speaker 5: Okay, time that day I was, I was in Los
Speaker 5: Angeles talking big trash.
Speaker 3: And then so what about at Philadelphia?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: See, and everybody will throw out the record on the road,
Speaker 4: but they don't consider who you play.
Speaker 3: That's what I was opposed to.
Speaker 5: Who you play if you who you play if they
Speaker 5: if they suck, yeah right, but they don't consider who
Speaker 5: you play if they're good, like the Eagles.
Speaker 3: So five road games, they've had three that we would
Speaker 3: deem acceptable road trips and which is a two and
Speaker 3: one record, and two that were unacceptable, no doubt, Arizona
Speaker 3: and San Francisco. So now we see what happens at Carolina.
Speaker 4: And the Jets have played better since the Cowboys beat
Speaker 4: them that bad on the road.
Speaker 3: No, that was they played at the Giants. They played
Speaker 3: the Jet Jets.
Speaker 4: Were here, I'm sorry, Yeah, the Giants were on there. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so okay, the home games, right, Jets, New England, Rams Giants.
Speaker 4: Anybody got a winning record in that group? What are
Speaker 4: the Jets now?
Speaker 3: They're losing records?
Speaker 4: Oh, they're still losing, okay.
Speaker 3: Jets, New England Rams, Giants, Giants. Nope, no, zero for
Speaker 3: four there. So so we don't have good home wins.
Speaker 2: What we have predictable home predictable right right?
Speaker 3: And Washington is not above five hundred that's next Thursday,
Speaker 3: and but Seattle is above five hundred, although they might
Speaker 3: be below by the time they Thursday.
Speaker 5: Sorry, I think Washington is a good team, I really do.
Speaker 5: I think they're a talented team that's going to be
Speaker 5: dangerous for us. Before it's all said, we have to
Speaker 5: play them twice.
Speaker 2: Yep, right, yep.
Speaker 3: So Naden is texting, So what are y'all setting up
Speaker 3: the game to be a win or loss?
Speaker 2: Help me? Here?
Speaker 3: Are we setting it up to be a woman?
Speaker 4: We're just throwing out facts.
Speaker 5: What's what's setting it up so they can have a
Speaker 5: sense of urgency?
Speaker 2: Beat that?
Speaker 5: Buts like, we just beat the Giants at home. I
Speaker 5: don't care where we play. I'm going back to the
Speaker 5: same speech. It doesn't matter where we play, especially if
Speaker 5: we play against the team was supposed to be let's
Speaker 5: smash these dudes, man.
Speaker 3: Just like Detroit and Miami, the standard is already been set.
Speaker 3: You get forty two points against them, whether you're playing
Speaker 3: them on the road or at home, forty two points
Speaker 3: is the stand.
Speaker 4: And it's not like it's a hard place to play
Speaker 4: it either.
Speaker 5: I'm your fans, cowboy fans are going to be there.
Speaker 5: And if it's raining, yeah, even better for us.
Speaker 4: Were we together in that rain delayed preseason game.
Speaker 3: I was not there. We're not there for that one.
Speaker 4: Goodness, it rains so hard. I couldn't see the other
Speaker 4: side of the stadium unless the lightning was striking.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 5: I think that the formation that we came out with
Speaker 5: other personnel, with the five defensive linemen, I like that.
Speaker 5: I like, I don't mind Parsons not being that guy
Speaker 5: to pressure every third down or whatever. I do like
Speaker 5: our other other men out there that can pressure the quarterback.
Speaker 5: But I don't mind Parsons being in that linebacker position.
Speaker 5: I like the five defensive linement on the line of
Speaker 5: scrimmage that really I thought that really helped us in
Speaker 5: regards to controlling the run.
Speaker 3: And then shoot Parsons through the.
Speaker 4: Gap and they and they they've struggled. I can't remember
Speaker 4: what you said. Why I looked this up. They've struggled
Speaker 4: to run the ball too.
Speaker 3: Cuba Cuba Hubbard and their big free agent signing with
Speaker 3: Miles Anders from Philadelphia who signed four years twenty five
Speaker 3: million dollars.
Speaker 4: And he's not starting, is he?
Speaker 2: Or is he? And you have to look at the
Speaker 2: offensive line and what are they dealing with?
Speaker 5: Do they have some surprises on the offensive line of
Speaker 5: guys that.
Speaker 3: In Harvard the last four their first round draft pick
Speaker 3: number six overall last year. Is there starting left tackle
Speaker 3: in Kwanu And there's jury's still out on exactly how
Speaker 3: effective he's going to be in this league.
Speaker 2: So the entire line obviously they're young, right.
Speaker 4: Right, and Bryce Young speaking of Young as the best
Speaker 4: per carry average at six.
Speaker 2: Point eight.
Speaker 4: And Bill's favorite wide receiverlt.
Speaker 3: Is Lavisca Chanault out of DeSoto U.
Speaker 4: It's got fifty five yards rushing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can. He can run the ball.
Speaker 5: And Nate says Washington is not a good team. They
Speaker 5: can command nothing.
Speaker 8: See there.
Speaker 4: We don't even need to open up the computers to
Speaker 4: check the text line.
Speaker 3: And by the way, Mickey, as we go to break
Speaker 3: I got some good news for you. The forecast for

Speaker 4: You make the hero cut.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, no one called me. I guess not.
Speaker 3: So that starts November seventeenth. That's Friday, that's right. The
Speaker 3: holiday season starts on Friday. Officially, that's true.
Speaker 4: And there's a at least around here, there's a high
Speaker 4: school playoff game Thursday night.
Speaker 3: There's one Friday night and Saturday night too, probably.
Speaker 2: During the.
Speaker 4: Extravagain, right, you.
Speaker 5: Got football to play shoots? You know how long the
Speaker 5: playoffs last in Texas high school I.
Speaker 4: Believe that you go right up to Christmas at.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is how this is how serious they are
Speaker 3: about high school football and Texas during the pandemic. They
Speaker 3: played high school football playoff games on Christmas Eve starting
Speaker 3: at eight o'clock eight o'clock kickoff on Christmas Eve over
Speaker 3: at Chucktaws Stadium in Arlington. So Santa could have got
Speaker 3: there Christmas afternoon. Also, yeah, so but they the high
Speaker 3: school playoffs wrap up this year the week before Christmas.
Speaker 3: Just the timing of it. And answer your question on
Speaker 3: games at the Star this week. There is a playoff
Speaker 3: game tomorrow night Thursday night at the Star Jesuit Prepp
Speaker 3: against Coppel, the unbeaten Copel Cowboys. And then on Friday
Speaker 3: night Frisco Panther Creek High School plays Waco Levego.
Speaker 4: And they're only like a second year school, Panther Creek.
Speaker 3: That's right, yep.
Speaker 4: I didn't think I knew all that.
Speaker 3: You do know quite a you know what.
Speaker 4: I think I found the guy that they could probably
Speaker 4: squeeze through waivers. Oh yeah, you made.
Speaker 2: Me, by the way.
Speaker 3: And there's also a game Saturday night South o'cliff and
Speaker 3: Melissa Saturday night seven o'clock.
Speaker 4: Ford Center is going to be happening.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there you go, all right, now, go ahead.
Speaker 4: You made me think of this when you said that
Speaker 4: Calvin Joseph got released.
Speaker 3: Yes, Kelvin Joseph released by the Dolphins.
Speaker 4: So how about Noah Igbinogheny. He's been inact of the
Speaker 4: last couple of games. He's more of a veteran. You
Speaker 4: think somebody would claim him.
Speaker 3: Maybe the question is can you afford to lose him?
Speaker 4: Because the next guy up after that is Eric Scott,
Speaker 4: who hasn't played yet all season. But I can't find
Speaker 4: somebody else they can afford to lose or get through
Speaker 4: without somebody grabbing.
Speaker 3: Them, unless there's a m string tweaked.
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 3: But they got to do something that Rashwan has to
Speaker 3: be up.
Speaker 4: Don't you think. Yeah, you can't say the situations wait
Speaker 4: and see if a spot over.
Speaker 3: And it's inevitable that you got that game and then
Speaker 3: you got another one four days later, right, so you
Speaker 3: might as well go ahead and make the move. I
Speaker 3: forget the feeling ever since that Mickey loses sleep over
Speaker 3: these roster boots.
Speaker 4: No, they're probably the ones losing sleep because there's no
Speaker 4: obvious one. Yeah, right, there's just not an obvious one.
Speaker 5: Well, and plus we have the luxury of much depth
Speaker 5: on this team, which is a good thing.
Speaker 3: One thing that struck my ear listening to the coordinators
Speaker 3: talk on Monday afternoon the praise given to one Tyler Beatdish. Yes,
Speaker 3: I did hear that, and especially coming off the game
Speaker 3: against the Giants where he's matched up against Dexter Lawrence,
Speaker 3: and just the praise on how Tyler beyondish he's able
Speaker 3: to handle the physical nature of playing that position and
Speaker 3: also being able to do what a center has to
Speaker 3: do from a metal standpoint.
Speaker 5: And I would imagine his improvement is matched with Dak's
Speaker 5: improvement because before, I think early in the season, I
Speaker 5: was not impressed with any of the offensive lines, especially him,
Speaker 5: but I can't say that now. Ever, since the Charges game,
Speaker 5: it seems like he's been moving more forward than backwards.
Speaker 4: Well, and I think people forget he was a pro
Speaker 4: bowler last year.
Speaker 11: Now I know it was added added guy, but he
Speaker 11: was still in it on the top, so somebody knew
Speaker 11: about him and that was a position so many people
Speaker 11: were worried about last year and it was like, no,
Speaker 11: watch this guy play.
Speaker 3: He's the youngest, right, this is a this is contract
Speaker 3: year four con track here. Yeah, so fourth year in
Speaker 3: the league, fourth year, and maybe Brian Schottenheimer is acting
Speaker 3: as his agent. I don't know, but yeah.
Speaker 4: Right, but that's what I thought. Jerry was acting as
Speaker 4: CD's agent. No, No, Mike was McCarthy when he said,
Speaker 4: and the good thing about CD is going to be
Speaker 4: with us for a long time. And I'm going, oh.
Speaker 3: And that's what I thought immediately, is Okay, does he
Speaker 3: know something we don't know about? I mean this sometimes
Speaker 3: this time of the year is when you take care
Speaker 3: of some guys that are up for the contract extent announcements.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, you.
Speaker 3: Think that could happen in mid season?
Speaker 4: Oh, I could think it could happen anytime than CD.
Speaker 3: He wants to benefit. It could benefit things as far
Speaker 3: as your salary cap.
Speaker 4: And that's why you do it now, because you're taking
Speaker 4: a preemptive strike, right because if he keeps going at
Speaker 4: this rate, he could be the number one receiver in
Speaker 4: the league. And his guy might say, h let's see
Speaker 4: what that's worth.
Speaker 3: I don't want to mess with a good thing. Though
Speaker 3: he's got four straight hundred yard games. That, not that
Speaker 3: he would lose any incentive. He's not that. But things
Speaker 3: are going pretty well here. Just keep on keeping on.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, you're exactly right.
Speaker 3: But you know, there are unsung players on this team,
Speaker 3: and we focus on the skill position guys and so forth.
Speaker 3: And even coming out of that game, there was Mazzie
Speaker 3: Smith doing some things.
Speaker 4: Back to back tackles three I think he ended up
Speaker 4: with three in the game, and they were really happy
Speaker 4: with the way he.
Speaker 2: Just an right.
Speaker 5: Number is minuscule, but it's it's, you know, collective effort,
Speaker 5: that's what it was he had. There were times when
Speaker 5: you couldn't tell who made the tackle on the team
Speaker 5: because everyone was around the ball.
Speaker 4: Three tackles, one tackle for a loss and a quarterback
Speaker 4: hit and one of those tackles I believe he was
Speaker 4: on when that goal line stand right, But then they
Speaker 4: marched ninety six yards for a touchdown.
Speaker 3: But to ever since point, especially with interior defensive linemen,
Speaker 3: the stats don't tell the story on them. But because
Speaker 3: there's so much that they do that don't show up
Speaker 3: on a stat sheet, it's so difficult to get on
Speaker 3: a stat sheet from that spot. But what you're doing
Speaker 3: is you know, you might be taking on a double
Speaker 3: team or whatever, you're freeing up somebody else to do something.
Speaker 3: It's just what I liked about him. There was you
Speaker 3: could see some some of that burst and athleticism that
Speaker 3: they talked about before in Power, that they talked about
Speaker 3: when they drafted him.
Speaker 5: And it's okay to ramp up on a team that's
Speaker 5: having issues. You know, that can give you your head start.
Speaker 5: You know, it can get your momentum going. So it
Speaker 5: doesn't matter who you're playing against. If you experience that success,
Speaker 5: you know that that can that can lead to you know,
Speaker 5: more success.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: The other guy that was mentioned I think by Dan
Speaker 3: Quinn that I've noticed the last couple of games, not
Speaker 3: just because of what he's done on special teams, but
Speaker 3: Sam Williams looks the part as an edge rusher now,
Speaker 3: I mean he did before, but he really looks like
Speaker 3: he's jumping off the screen these days.
Speaker 5: If he if he improves, I mean you're just looking
Speaker 5: at that's what's we can We can be more diverse
Speaker 5: in what we do. We can put parsons in different
Speaker 5: places and not necessarily worry.
Speaker 4: About because you got that guy, right, one guy that's
Speaker 4: gonna get you.
Speaker 3: And it may be because he has fresh legs, you know.
Speaker 8: And guess what.
Speaker 4: He played seventy seven percent of the snaps on special teams,
Speaker 4: and remember they used him as a gunner.
Speaker 2: I saw him, you know, I was at the game.
Speaker 2: I saw it. I saw it. It was crazy.
Speaker 5: I mean he was he's not slow, No, he's not slow.
Speaker 5: And the dB was having a problem keeping him from
Speaker 5: going down the field.
Speaker 4: And Fossil was talking a lot about it. You know,
Speaker 4: sometimes when you get success playing on special teams, then
Speaker 4: when you get to play, it kind of earns you
Speaker 4: some snaps.
Speaker 5: Maybe I enjoyed playing special teams. It helped me warm
Speaker 5: up for the plays.
Speaker 4: Are you the gunner?
Speaker 2: No? No, I was on the gunner and I was
Speaker 2: on kickoff team.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, so you know, plump me turning to kickoff
Speaker 5: kickoff team and that sprint down there gets you. It
Speaker 5: just gets you ready, not just your legs, but you know,
Speaker 5: flowing blood flowing. I always wanted that.
Speaker 4: You know, Fossil had a good point. I didn't think
Speaker 4: of it this way. He was talking about some of
Speaker 4: their theory on punt coverage. When you're punting inside the
Speaker 4: fifty yard line, what he wants his gunners to do.
Speaker 4: He wants one to get in front of the guy
Speaker 4: that's catching it and the other one to go behind
Speaker 4: in case they let it go. And then you're he's
Speaker 4: faking this, Yeah, faking this. Yeah, because I saw the
Speaker 4: giant guy. He was faking it at the twenty yard line.
Speaker 4: I'm going that punt had to go more than twenty
Speaker 4: yards or thirty yards right, and and then it bounced
Speaker 4: into the endsty.
Speaker 3: And as we wrap it up. That's a recommendation I
Speaker 3: have for all Cowboys fans out there. The coordinators talk
Speaker 3: on Monday, Yeah, and listen to what the coordinators say.
Speaker 3: You'll pick up on a lot of stuff about great insight. Yeah,
Speaker 3: about this team and the players on the team.
Speaker 4: I mean, because Fossil even said when they asked him
Speaker 4: about the gunners or whatever, and he goes, well, and
Speaker 4: he was getting ready to say it, and he goes, yeah,
Speaker 4: I guess I can say this. It's not giving away anything,
Speaker 4: but exactly what you said. They all do that you
Speaker 4: want one to go behind the guy when it's a
Speaker 4: punt that's probably not going to be returned.
Speaker 3: The other thing about the coordinators is you can see
Speaker 3: how well coached this team is when you're when you're
Speaker 3: bringing up to the podium, when the coordinators have to
Speaker 3: talk each week to the media, and you're bringing up
Speaker 3: a Schottenheimer and a dan Quinn and a Fossil. There's
Speaker 3: some some NFL lineage there. Yeah, well you got that right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: all right. That does it for mixed shots for this Wednesday,
Speaker 3: and we will shout at you again tomorrow at high noon.
Speaker 2: Go Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and
