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 Mick Shot, streaming live on Dallascowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the official Dallas Cowboys As now here are Bill Jones,
Speaker 1: Savannah Humoler, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 3: And here we are. Do we call this a victory Monday?
Speaker 2: Yes? Absolutely, yes, there we.
Speaker 3: Go stampeding in two Eagles week here Mick shots, And
Speaker 3: as I like to say, when Bill's missing three out
Speaker 3: of four ain't bad. Bill's trying to save his voice.
Speaker 3: I heard him last night on his a CBS eleven
Speaker 3: newscast and it was a little rough.
Speaker 2: Love it so he still did the god mo.
Speaker 3: But he did it. He got through, and I was thinking, golly,
Speaker 3: sounds better.
Speaker 4: Better than last Friday. Yeah, he was having a tough time.
Speaker 3: So you've got Mickey, Savannah and Everson on this glorious Monday.
Speaker 2: Beautiful Star, beautiful day.
Speaker 3: And unfortunately, or fortunately I should say, we're in the
Speaker 3: SWBC Mortgage studio at the Star, and I think we
Speaker 3: got a little victory Monday. There after, finally the Eagles
Speaker 3: lost a game, got beat by San Francisco forty two
Speaker 3: nineteen on the I guess it was the late game.
Speaker 3: It seemed like it was a night It seemed like.
Speaker 2: Right into the night, right, Yeah, all.
Speaker 3: All night long? Did everybody watch it to the end?
Speaker 5: Yes, there are a bunch of penalties, though I didn't
Speaker 5: see lots of flags flying around. You think that was
Speaker 5: an over compensation for it.
Speaker 3: Well, there should have been. There should have been one
Speaker 3: in that evening game. I don't know if you watched
Speaker 3: the Packers Chiefs game.
Speaker 4: I watched a little bit of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, A little bit you didn't watch was at
Speaker 2: a Christmas party.
Speaker 3: The Packers cornerback or safety just mugged the Chief's receiver
Speaker 3: at about the I can't remember if it was the
Speaker 3: end zone or about the five or ten yard line,
Speaker 3: jumped on his back, had his arm around his neck,
Speaker 3: and knocked the ball out with his other arm. Yeah,
Speaker 3: good play, no penalty, Wow, and Chie's getting no respect.
Speaker 3: Pat Patrick Mahomes said, well, you know we got there
Speaker 3: is what it is. But i'd either of them let
Speaker 3: us play then call every little thing. And I'm going
Speaker 3: I understand that.
Speaker 5: But he has always been benefited from PI calls. Right
Speaker 5: as a quarterback, he has always benefited from that. I'm surprised.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's because they don't respect the roster anymore. You know,
Speaker 5: they had a hell of a roster when he was
Speaker 5: getting all the calls. Now, all of a sudden, receiver's
Speaker 5: cat get open. You know, he's looking human. Yeah, And
Speaker 5: you know, to me, Patrick Holme is the only quarterback
Speaker 5: and that's including my man Dak he is the only
Speaker 5: quarterback to me that can win a game by himself.
Speaker 3: Well, he couldn't last night.
Speaker 2: Not last night.
Speaker 3: He got loved death about that Packers winning that game.
Speaker 3: But going back to the San Francisco Eagles game, so
Speaker 3: you know, the Eagles, you know, been teetering on a
Speaker 3: loss for three weeks in a row, and they finally
Speaker 3: lost one, which means the Eagles are now in first
Speaker 3: place in the NFC East at ten and two. The
Speaker 3: Cowboys are second at nine and three, And we finally
Speaker 3: get the game we were looking for coming this Sunday,
Speaker 3: America is looking at a stadium. The Cowboys, with their
Speaker 3: four game winning streak, have an opportunity now if they
Speaker 3: can beat the Eagles and tie for first place in
Speaker 3: the NFC East with four games to go. But again
Speaker 3: they got to take care of their own business. Somebody
Speaker 3: finally kind of helped them out. And San Francisco did
Speaker 3: a number on the Eagles last night, and I was
Speaker 3: just kind of wondering what your guy's thoughts were on
Speaker 3: how San Francisco dealt with the Eagles in that game.
Speaker 4: My first thought is Deebo, Samuel.
Speaker 3: There you go, my man, Debo.
Speaker 4: He was a beast for the forty nine ers yesterday,
Speaker 4: he really was. And Brock party phenomenal yesterday.
Speaker 3: Another near perfect performance. I think his quarterback rating ended
Speaker 3: up one forty eight, but Deebo four catches for one
Speaker 3: hundred and sixteen yards, including the forty eight yard er,
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, and he had three carries for forty two
Speaker 3: for twenty two yards and a touchdown, so he was
Speaker 3: almost single handedly the difference in that game.
Speaker 5: Well, he's still upset about the playoff game, Cherryos, and
Speaker 5: he was talking trash after that game, you know, because
Speaker 5: he knew that they were handicapped because of the.
Speaker 3: They ran the quarterbacks can actually throw the.
Speaker 2: Ball, So he's been seething to get it at this game.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's been talking noise ever since the end
Speaker 5: of that championship game. So he was finally able to
Speaker 5: come through and put his money where his mouth was.
Speaker 4: Okay, what did you guys think about the Dom, head
Speaker 4: of security for.
Speaker 2: Big Doll and everybody know him? Does everyone know him?
Speaker 3: I think first time?
Speaker 2: Like I never heard of the guy, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: He's I guess he's known in Philadelphia Big Dob Desandro.
Speaker 4: The standing ovation from the crowd was.
Speaker 2: So so why did why did he get ejected? Well?
Speaker 3: Did you see it?
Speaker 2: I saw it? Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean he didn't do much because he was breaking
Speaker 4: up the players and he kind of got himself involved
Speaker 4: in it.
Speaker 2: That's the only way you're going to do your job.
Speaker 3: You got But I don't think everybody as a security
Speaker 3: guy in the sideline to break up anything that's going
Speaker 3: on on the field.
Speaker 2: Well that was really on the sideline at that point,
Speaker 2: yeah it.
Speaker 3: Was, but it was still part of the field.
Speaker 2: So wait, how do you Okay? Okay, So.
Speaker 3: Here's the part what they left off is that Okay,
Speaker 3: the thing spilled into the sideline Ante Smith and Dre Greenlaw. Okay,
Speaker 3: and the first thing I saw was there there John
Speaker 3: and Big Dom takes his hand and puts it in
Speaker 3: the chest of green Law like to back him off,
Speaker 3: and green Law took.
Speaker 2: It because green Law request but.
Speaker 3: He but he but he took exception to it and
Speaker 3: then reached out and his hand kind of got in
Speaker 3: Big Dom's face, right, So he gets fifteen Yeah a finger, yeah,
Speaker 3: just brief could from the angle, but it was a
Speaker 3: finger barely, yeah, And so he gets fifteen yards for that. Well,
Speaker 3: he got fifteen yards for the tackle right that that,
Speaker 3: but he got kicked out for the other part.
Speaker 2: And I don't think either one should have gotten kicked.
Speaker 3: And then they kicked Dob out to a standing ovation.
Speaker 3: Leave it to a big, burly Italian guy to get
Speaker 3: a standing ovation in Philadelphia.
Speaker 5: But he didn't. He didn't do any I mean, only
Speaker 5: did was his job. He didn't really mouth off at
Speaker 5: Greenlaw at all because, like I said, Greenlaw was pressing
Speaker 5: him and he's like, yo, man, get back, you know,
Speaker 5: he was trying to and green Law was pressing, so
Speaker 5: he had to press back.
Speaker 3: But I think there was some exchange in there too that.
Speaker 2: He didn't say much either.
Speaker 3: Well we couldn't hear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he must be.
Speaker 3: The official saw some because he seemed.
Speaker 2: To be pretty uh, you know, even keeled on the
Speaker 2: whole thing. I thought. I was very surprising. I was
Speaker 2: very surprising.
Speaker 5: Well, but I think both of them should have stayed
Speaker 5: in It's no big deal.
Speaker 3: Well, but it was almost comic relief in a very
Speaker 3: tightly contested game.
Speaker 2: That they thought that was gonna inspire.
Speaker 3: It, and they went and scored it.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately I didn't inspire their defense.
Speaker 3: I think the forty nine ers ended up scoring three consecutions.
Speaker 3: They scored touchdowns on six consecutive possessions, six after he
Speaker 3: fell behind six to nothing.
Speaker 2: That's let you know how we should have beaten.
Speaker 3: And crappy weather is Philly.
Speaker 2: You should have beaten there right in Philly.
Speaker 3: With the exception of those two plays, it might have
Speaker 3: looked that way, right right, that's right. So here's what
Speaker 3: other than that. And I just kind of laughed at
Speaker 3: it because it just Shanahan didn't think it was too
Speaker 3: funny to have his guy thrown out because of that. Well,
Speaker 3: forty nine ers ran the ball twenty eight times for
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty six yards against that Eagles defense.
Speaker 2: That's Deebo and McCaffrey.
Speaker 3: Debo had twenty two and McCaffrey had ninety three and
Speaker 3: Mitchell thirteen more and some guy named Mason two for ten,
Speaker 3: so but they ended up with one hundred and forty
Speaker 3: six yards five point two yards of carry. That's what
Speaker 3: really stuck out to me, other than what you said
Speaker 3: about Perty with a one forty eight eight quarterback rating,
Speaker 3: and that's coming off of it was either the last
Speaker 3: game of the game before when he had a perfect
Speaker 3: one fifty eight three. So yeah, he was awfully good.
Speaker 3: And San Francisco, I mean six consecutive possessions with a touchdown.
Speaker 3: That to me was remarkable.
Speaker 2: McCaffrey is old school.
Speaker 5: The way he runs the ball, the way he follows
Speaker 5: his blocking, and trust me, he's able to make the
Speaker 5: moves that he makes because you have a man on
Speaker 5: a man. But the way he's able to pick the
Speaker 5: right spots, the way he's able to set up his blocks.
Speaker 5: You hadn't seen running like that in a long time.
Speaker 5: I mean, you used to see that all the time
Speaker 5: with Dorset. You know, we saw his speed, but we
Speaker 5: never really respected how Dorset used his blockers to his advantage.
Speaker 5: McCaffrey is a guy. You just don't see running backs
Speaker 5: doing that these days. Kamara used to do it with
Speaker 5: the Saints.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 5: That's the way Christian McCaffrey is running the ball right now.
Speaker 5: He's not like he's not special to where if he
Speaker 5: doesn't have any room, then he's gonna make room.
Speaker 2: That's not how he does it.
Speaker 5: He reads his blocks perfectly and his footwork within space.
Speaker 5: It reminds you of Aaron Rodgers when he's in the pocket.
Speaker 5: You know, you wonder how he's able to slip here,
Speaker 5: slip there and operate in small space. McCaffrey is a
Speaker 5: running back that does that, and you just don't see
Speaker 5: that anymore in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to do that. They just showed the
Speaker 3: interference call that they didn't call. I don't know if
Speaker 3: this is the player. It's no, it already that was
Speaker 3: the last player. It was the play before. They just
Speaker 3: they just showed it. And that got a little shove
Speaker 3: there on eighty seven. But that's just hail mary, right.
Speaker 2: That looked like wrestling right there.
Speaker 3: But you know what, the way you described that, he
Speaker 3: runs like he's on a conveyor bel He just comes
Speaker 3: slides right through everything. And there's a lot of congestion too,
Speaker 3: and it's not like he's physically bumping off of people.
Speaker 5: He just slithers, he's moving, he's moving his way through. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, slithering his way in and out. And it's
Speaker 5: like I said, the footwork is amazing. When we saw
Speaker 5: one play, well, he hurdled a guy in space. You know,
Speaker 5: he just he hurdled right.
Speaker 2: Over the guy. I mean to be able to do that.
Speaker 5: And it wasn't just one of those hurdles like you
Speaker 5: see the tight ends doing. No, this was a hurdle
Speaker 5: to where his feet were back on the ground quickly
Speaker 5: and he was to make able to make a move
Speaker 5: off of the hurdle.
Speaker 2: That's difficult to do. You got to have good footwork for.
Speaker 3: That, as Ferguson did on Thursday night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, it wasn't that kind of hurdle. No, No,
Speaker 5: his his was, you know a little bit more stepily.
Speaker 4: So watching the Eagles defense yesterday, what did you pick
Speaker 4: up going into this Sunday when we're when we're playing
Speaker 4: him that.
Speaker 3: I bet they're the leaders in the clubhouse on signing
Speaker 3: check Leonard, I think they do. You think so need
Speaker 3: a linebacker? We'll see and yeah, keep an eye on that.
Speaker 4: I was. No, I've been keeping an eye on it
Speaker 4: all morning last night. David Moore from the Dallas Morning News.
Speaker 4: He reported free agent Shaq Leonard is expected expected to
Speaker 4: take the rest of last night and this morning to
Speaker 4: decide between Cowboys and Eagles and inform the teams today
Speaker 4: of his decision. So, and that's like I told you.
Speaker 3: I told you on Friday. The Cowboys expected the decision
Speaker 3: to be made on Sunday. So maybe he made it
Speaker 3: and he's going to announce it today.
Speaker 5: So is he the kind of guy that goes, Okay,
Speaker 5: I can help Philly turn the corner?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And is he the kind of guy that goes you
Speaker 5: know what I love is in Dallas and this is
Speaker 5: the place I want to be.
Speaker 2: Right now, Cowboys are trading up with I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't knows very well, so tass up so I
Speaker 3: And again we didn't think it would come down to
Speaker 3: money since he's still getting paid by the Cold.
Speaker 5: Now this is opportunity, right, This is all about opportunity,
Speaker 5: you know, Like I talked about my experience with Seattle
Speaker 5: and the Giants. Yeah, more money's one place, But where's
Speaker 5: your real opportunity gonna be?
Speaker 2: Mine was New York? Thank god? But you know what
Speaker 2: does he think?
Speaker 5: Does he feel like he's got a better chance with
Speaker 5: the Cowboys, or does he think that he is just
Speaker 5: what Philly needs to not let that happen again, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: To get forty what was it, forty one, forty two
Speaker 3: put on him.
Speaker 2: He probably thinks, you know, I can come in and save.
Speaker 5: Right, I can say today, right, you know Cowboys you know, hell,
Speaker 5: we need some saving too.
Speaker 2: Now. Yeah, it wasn't like our defense was out there
Speaker 2: blowing it up.
Speaker 3: No, no, exactly, especially the last game. Right, So it'll
Speaker 3: be interesting. We'll keep an eye on it. What time
Speaker 3: he decides to make his de decision or which team. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just I didn't get a good feel here. But
Speaker 3: you never know, you know, you saw him here. No, No,
Speaker 3: I'm saying from what I've talked to the folks here that.
Speaker 2: No one, no one can put the finger on it
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's like and I didn't know. I didn't.
Speaker 3: I never got anybody say, well, it feel pretty good chance.
Speaker 3: And I still don't know that he's the savior for anybody.
Speaker 5: He's my point, that's my point, because I mean we
Speaker 5: could look at Evans, We could still look at Evans.
Speaker 2: You know, he didn't get much of a chance in
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 5: You know, he's still trying to rap himself up on
Speaker 5: how to play, how to play on the field. You
Speaker 5: know that game was pretty helter skelter, not just for
Speaker 5: him but for everyone on defense. So to just call
Speaker 5: him out and say, well, he he got beat on
Speaker 5: that play, I mean, yeah, he's gonna get beat on
Speaker 5: a few plays until he gets his legs back under.
Speaker 3: I was trying to see how many snaps he ended
Speaker 3: up did he.
Speaker 2: I think last week you said twenty something.
Speaker 3: That was the week before it was it was he had.
Speaker 2: Oh my.
Speaker 3: Three three defensive snaps, but he had thirty two special
Speaker 3: team snaps. So or no, I'm sorry, nine special team
Speaker 3: snaps thirty two percent. So he didn't play very much.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and that was the guy. Remember when they
Speaker 3: brought him in.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, the same thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, veteran like knows knows what he's doing out there,
Speaker 4: but it took him a while to get adjusted into.
Speaker 2: He's still trying to get adjusted.
Speaker 4: He didn't he wasn't with the team during camp.
Speaker 2: He wasn't with anybody.
Speaker 3: And I think maybe it chose so and and and Leonard.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's not like some big middle linebacker
Speaker 3: you're going to put in there, right, he's an outside line.
Speaker 2: He's a playmaker though, yeah he was, or he was.
Speaker 2: He was a playmaker. That's what he did.
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that goes. And everybody says, well,
Speaker 3: they need another big linebacker, and I said, they got
Speaker 3: one two and fifty pounds Michael Parsons. Just let him
Speaker 3: play linebacker. I don't know about your thoughts on it,
Speaker 3: but it just seems like he's more versatile at linebacker,
Speaker 3: and he is at defensive end.
Speaker 5: There's no doubt they no way he is at defensive end.
Speaker 5: And we could still play with it, you know. We
Speaker 5: still put them on the at defensive end when we
Speaker 5: need a rush, which is what we've been doing right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: in crucial situations.
Speaker 2: But I gotta say, we talk about.
Speaker 5: Parsons when I see he and Lawrence on the same side.
Speaker 5: That gives me great joy.
Speaker 3: You smile what you say, great joy.
Speaker 5: You know, because you see what Parsons did in the game.
Speaker 5: But the Marcus launch is the last three series, the
Speaker 5: last three series of plays. He turned the game around
Speaker 5: for us, yes, defensively, and no one really said much
Speaker 5: about that. The screen passed that Gino was trying to
Speaker 5: throw at the end on the fourth down.
Speaker 2: You know, he kind of could have gotten it.
Speaker 5: Off, you know, even though Parson was in his face,
Speaker 5: but d Law was right there. Not only did he
Speaker 5: shut down the offensive lineman from trying to get outside
Speaker 5: on him, he also interfered with the running back who was.
Speaker 3: Going to catch the skyed.
Speaker 2: He delayed all of that.
Speaker 5: I mean, it was very subtle, you know, because all
Speaker 5: we saw was the explosion from Parsons. We didn't see
Speaker 5: the little nuances that was going on with d Law
Speaker 5: at that time. You know, between that offensive tackle and
Speaker 5: the running back.
Speaker 4: A quietly great season. He always does flying under the radar,
Speaker 4: but he's getting the job done for us.
Speaker 5: And not to mention the fourth down. The fourth down
Speaker 5: that was even before that.
Speaker 2: Was an amazing He went all the way and it
Speaker 2: wasn't an accident.
Speaker 5: He went all the way inside, came back outside and
Speaker 5: made the play.
Speaker 3: And we need to take a break. But after you
Speaker 3: said that, so I saw finally somebody did what I
Speaker 3: said they should do on the tush push. It didn't
Speaker 3: quite happen soon enough, but the saffrance, I don't remember
Speaker 3: who it was, it was a defensive back. He got
Speaker 3: over the top behind Hurts and he horse collared. But
Speaker 3: if you're in the box, you can horse collar a
Speaker 3: running back. He tried to yank him back right. It
Speaker 3: was too late, but he finally did what I said,
Speaker 3: that's what you need to do. Just go in and
Speaker 3: grab him from the back of the.
Speaker 2: If you're going to do that, it's going to be better.
Speaker 5: If it's like two yards to go, not one, you're
Speaker 5: not going to get there in time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they didn't. By the way, all right, we
Speaker 3: continue here on mix shots and we'll kind of give
Speaker 3: you an idea where the Cowboys are going forward in
Speaker 3: this big Eagles week. On mix shots, I'm.
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 7: And they snapped the press guy who looks white, it's
Speaker 7: not there. He escapes left. He'll run for a punchtown.
Speaker 6: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 6: to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com,
Speaker 6: I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've
Speaker 6: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,
Speaker 6: and trade crypto currency.
Speaker 3: Prescott's gonna run this himself. Run it up the middle
Speaker 3: and he scores.
Speaker 6: Whether you're new to crypto or an active trader, they've
Speaker 6: got you covered.
Speaker 2: What are you waiting for?
Speaker 6: Get started at blockchain dot com.
Speaker 8: You know that sound anywhere. It's the crisp crunch, that
Speaker 8: first nacho chip with its perfect cheese to sour cream
Speaker 8: ratio sitting atop a layer of delicious beans. It's a
Speaker 8: sip away from perfection. That's what we're looking for at
Speaker 8: a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana
Speaker 8: because while you can pile those nachos high with every
Speaker 8: spicy cheese, pan savory topping, there's no topping of school
Speaker 8: pepsy finish nachos better with pepsi.
Speaker 2: That's what I like.
Speaker 9: The Medal of Honor is our country's highest military award
Speaker 9: for valor in combat. More than forty million individuals have
Speaker 9: served in the armed forces since the Civil War. Fewer
Speaker 9: than four thousand have received the Medal of Honor. The
Speaker 9: National Medal of Honor Museum will be a place to
Speaker 9: preserve these legacies and inspire America. It's being built right

Speaker 4: K Post Roofing and Waterproofing, the official roofer of the
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys. And we are on the Shaq Leonard watch
Speaker 4: right now and Stephen Jones is talking to one O
Speaker 4: five three the fan, and he said just a little
Speaker 4: bit ago that we have no idea right now. It's
Speaker 4: a work in progress. We'll see. There's been a lot
Speaker 4: of back and forth. Had a great visit, laid everything
Speaker 4: out for him, our vision for him and how he
Speaker 4: could help us win a championship. I think he enjoyed
Speaker 4: his visit here. But obviously there is more than us
Speaker 4: involved here. We'll just have to see all.
Speaker 2: Right up to the minute, what does that sound? That
Speaker 2: doesn't sound good to me?
Speaker 5: SPACs like he's not even like it sounds like, you know,
Speaker 5: sounds like he's just trying to get the best deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably just yeah, so once if this is not enough,
Speaker 2: you've seen what we're doing.
Speaker 5: If this is not enough and you hadn't made a
Speaker 5: decision yet, I don't think he's gonna do it.
Speaker 3: So the Cowboys, who have to take care of themselves,
Speaker 3: get back to work today after having a three day weekend.
Speaker 3: Hope everybody else enjoyed their three days.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know.
Speaker 5: The good thing about it is Bill talked about it
Speaker 5: last week. We were a little bit tired. We were
Speaker 5: a bit tired, and to play that way and to
Speaker 5: win while fatigued, that's.
Speaker 2: A good win.
Speaker 5: That's a pretty good win against a team that's I
Speaker 5: would imagine I'd be surprised if the Seahawks don't do
Speaker 5: well from here on that because they're playing desperate. I'll
Speaker 5: be surprised if they they don't do as well as
Speaker 5: they did in the Cowboys game against the other opponents.
Speaker 5: But we were a tired team. We still won against
Speaker 5: a good a well coached team and a quarterback that
Speaker 5: was playing his best game. I think that was the
Speaker 5: best game I've ever seen Geno play. I mean you
Speaker 5: got to look at it. I mean, he was doing that.
Speaker 5: He wasn't just it wasn't just our mistakes. It was
Speaker 5: his playmaking that really kept him in the game. So
Speaker 5: to survive that, I think we're going to be so
Speaker 5: much better off with rest this time.
Speaker 4: And now we're going off of nine days is it
Speaker 4: of a period until this Eagulls game. So they had
Speaker 4: the three days off and then this week nine days
Speaker 4: of rest, which is great going.
Speaker 3: On not rest but not having to play. My god,
Speaker 3: they this week.
Speaker 5: No that that's true though, you you know, and and
Speaker 5: a home game and another home game, right, so all
Speaker 5: of it bodes well for the Cowboys this week.
Speaker 3: So uh And I heard someone said that, well, the Eagles,
Speaker 3: you know, they had to play three games and thirteen OK.
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 2: I got it, right, Yeah? Fine, yeah, we got problems too,
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: No one, No one said the Cowboys only won forty
Speaker 3: one thirty five because they had to play three games
Speaker 3: in twelve days. But at least they'll be back in
Speaker 3: the building today. As a matter of fact here on
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys dot com, maybe not. At least we have
Speaker 3: a Mike McCarthy press conference at one o'clock because I
Speaker 3: don't think we've been airing the press conference live, but
Speaker 3: it will be on the website. So did you guys
Speaker 3: watch Detroit game?
Speaker 4: Anybody a couple plays of it? But I was watching
Speaker 4: the Texans Broncos game.
Speaker 3: See, I did a game I didn't do justice to either,
Speaker 3: but I had both on it at the same time,
Speaker 3: along with the college the playoff show. Right, So the
Speaker 3: Lions nine and three now, and it looked like the
Speaker 3: Saints were going to get them, and they hung on
Speaker 3: to win thirty three twenty eight on the road on
Speaker 3: the road, and moved to nine and three. So they are,
Speaker 3: you know, one of the teams that are nine and
Speaker 3: three uh in the Nfcuh And uh. You know the
Speaker 3: Cowboys have to play them going forward, second to the
Speaker 3: last game of the season, and boy, their rookie tight
Speaker 3: end had a pretty darn good day, right, Laporta nine catches,
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty yards and one touchdown.
Speaker 5: I think it was one play where he was just
Speaker 5: all alone right, running a long time.
Speaker 2: It took him a while of us have caught that one.
Speaker 3: I think what what impressed me other than him was
Speaker 3: the fact that they were able to run the football.
Speaker 3: I think that's something the Cowboys have to be aware of.
Speaker 3: Twenty six carries for one hundred and sixteen yards with
Speaker 3: their two running backs Gibbs and Montgomery. So that's something
Speaker 3: that you better be able to stop when you play
Speaker 3: the Lions, who play pretty darn hard. Although they got
Speaker 3: to lead and they let the Saints back in the game,
Speaker 3: but that's down the road. The Cowboys have to deal,
Speaker 3: like I said, with the Eagles Sunday night at and
Speaker 3: T Stadium, and I thought the interesting thing now coming
Speaker 3: out of that game and into this one is who
Speaker 3: the Cowboys have left to play and.
Speaker 2: Who the Eagles have left to play.
Speaker 3: So we're well aware. The Cowboys have to take on Philadelphia,
Speaker 3: go to Buffalo, go to Miami on Christmas Eve, and
Speaker 3: then Detroit the following Saturday, and then Washington. The Eagles
Speaker 3: at ten and two have the Cowboys. Then they've got
Speaker 3: to play the Seahawks, Giants Arizona and the Giants again.
Speaker 3: How do they get that?
Speaker 2: I think we had it like that one year didn't.
Speaker 3: We play like one of the Washington maybe two of
Speaker 3: the last three games. So they still have the best
Speaker 3: record in the NFC at ten and two. I guess
Speaker 3: in the NFL because the best record on the other
Speaker 3: sides nine and three. San Francisco has to play the Seahawks,
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, Baltimore, Washington, and the Rams. So they got
Speaker 3: to deal with the Seahawks, the Ravens, and kind of
Speaker 3: a resurgent Rams team.
Speaker 2: Right, and a team that knows them very well.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, they've played and who knows the Cardinals. They
Speaker 3: seem to sneak up on pole Man.
Speaker 5: They just get on your nerves, don't they. They're just
Speaker 5: like you can't get rid of.
Speaker 3: You know, that loss. That loss still haunts the Cowboys
Speaker 3: because it's an NFC loss, and in the list of tiebreakers,
Speaker 3: if they end up tied with Philadelphia, meaning they have
Speaker 3: to beat them, the fourth tiebreaker is NFC record and
Speaker 3: Cowboys might have just one more if they don't lose
Speaker 3: other than to the Cowboys, they would have one more
Speaker 3: NFC loss and it would be Arizona. And by the way,
Speaker 3: Detroit nine and three leading their division. They've got to
Speaker 3: play the Bears Broncos. How about this one now, Vikings
Speaker 3: Cowboys Vikings Okay again, same deal as the Eagles have.
Speaker 2: That's no picnic for them either down the stretch.
Speaker 3: No, not at all now.
Speaker 5: And they are a team. They're a lot like the
Speaker 5: Cowboys in the Guards. So you can get you know,
Speaker 5: you can fall in love with how they win and
Speaker 5: the talent that they have, but sometimes they just stink
Speaker 5: up the joint, right, Yeah, I mean they just do
Speaker 5: it sometimes.
Speaker 2: I think they are us last year. They are US last.
Speaker 3: Year, and at least they would have a They got
Speaker 3: a two game lead on the Packers hitcher standings there
Speaker 3: or because the Packers won last night, so that I
Speaker 3: think that got them to seven and five.
Speaker 4: They are six and six.
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, they got a three game in the Hut,
Speaker 3: They got a three game on them with five five
Speaker 3: to play, but the Packers are playing better. So that
Speaker 3: kind of gives you an idea of what these teams
Speaker 3: have going down the stretch here that are at the
Speaker 3: top of at least the NFC, you know, and in
Speaker 3: the three divisions, the leaders in nine and three, nine
Speaker 3: and three, and ten and two except for the South, right.
Speaker 4: So I think we have the toughest stretch.
Speaker 3: Atlanta jumped out.
Speaker 4: We have the toughest stretches.
Speaker 5: Especially with the two on the road against the AFC,
Speaker 5: and this is.
Speaker 4: The time after well, starting this Sunday, you have to
Speaker 4: show up. This is where everything matters, especially against if
Speaker 4: you're coming up on Buffalo and Miami. And Miami they
Speaker 4: beat the Commanders this week forty five to fifteen, and
Speaker 4: it was.
Speaker 3: Washing I think it was in Washington, Tyreek Hill. Just
Speaker 3: trying to say it that I can say on the air.
Speaker 3: They ran rough shot over.
Speaker 2: Them, Let's put it that way.
Speaker 5: You know, this Dolphins team, and we'll get into them
Speaker 5: next week, but I think they're somewhat of a front
Speaker 5: runner team as well. Yeah, when things are going well
Speaker 5: with them, they are just so good, and then you
Speaker 5: wait on them to show up, like against Philly. You know,
Speaker 5: they came out there and it looked like they were
Speaker 5: gonna do everything right. They couldn't even hardly pass on
Speaker 5: a secondary that Philadelphia has that really isn't that good,
Speaker 5: and they had a tough time with that secondary.
Speaker 2: You're blown.
Speaker 5: You just blew out somebody by seventy to something, and
Speaker 5: then you come to Philly and you can't you got
Speaker 5: guys dropping passes. Tyree Hill dropped the touchdown. You know,
Speaker 5: those kind of things happen, and that happens when you
Speaker 5: get more pressure on you than you can handle. And
Speaker 5: those are the kind of teams if you put that
Speaker 5: pressure on them, then they're gonna they're gonna fold. They're
Speaker 5: gonna fold. I'm hoping we can do that to them
Speaker 5: show though it's a their at their place.
Speaker 3: So we sign we kind of did what Dak told
Speaker 3: us not to do. We look side ways here for
Speaker 3: that segment. When we return here on mixshot, we're staying
Speaker 3: in our lane and we're going to analyze these cowboys
Speaker 3: on what we feel like they need to do best
Speaker 3: down the stretch to be able to have a chance
Speaker 3: to win the NFC East Mixshots continuing in a moment.

Speaker 6: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they.
Speaker 7: Snapped the fresh guy who looks light. It's not there.
Speaker 7: He escaped flapped. He'll look full a pun style.
Speaker 2: Just like football.
Speaker 6: When it comes to crypto, it's important to have a
Speaker 6: team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com, I know
Speaker 6: I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've been trusted
Speaker 6: by millions around the world to buy, sell, and trade
Speaker 6: crypto currency.

Speaker 8: You know that sound anywhere. It's the crisp crunch, that
Speaker 8: first nacho chip with its perfect cheese to sour cream
Speaker 8: ratio sitting atop a layer of delicious beans. It's a
Speaker 8: sip away from perfection.
Speaker 4: That's what we're looking for.
Speaker 8: Add a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana.
Speaker 8: Because while you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 8: savory topping, there's no topping a cool pepsi. Finish nachos
Speaker 8: better with pepsi. That's what I likes.

Speaker 3: Very good Savannah. As we continue here on snakshott, I
Speaker 3: didn't even notice it sounded good to me.
Speaker 2: Gave her love last week.
Speaker 5: I gotta I gotta be you know, fair stumbled.
Speaker 3: All right, these cowboys, what do we want to see
Speaker 3: out of them to be able to beat these Eagles
Speaker 3: or what they need to improve on going down the stretch?
Speaker 2: Running game, running game, running game? We need to do that.
Speaker 5: We need to get better at the running game for
Speaker 5: the rest of this year. We've got to get better
Speaker 5: at it. We were feeling comfortable. You know, Dak's doing
Speaker 5: this thing. The offensive line protects better each week as
Speaker 5: far as the pass is concerned, and that makes me
Speaker 5: feel good. So we don't feel like it's such a
Speaker 5: a hazard for Dak to be back there passing as
Speaker 5: much as he is. We're almost going back to the
Speaker 5: same pattern that we had with Kellen Moore was here.
Speaker 5: You know, we're passing a lot, a lot more than
Speaker 5: we really should be passing if we want to have
Speaker 5: a good running game. But they're protecting so well that
Speaker 5: it really doesn't leave us in a panic. And so
Speaker 5: Dakh there were times in the game that was back
Speaker 5: there for a minute. I said, I mean one time
Speaker 5: he's back there, looked like six seconds and he didn't
Speaker 5: even move. He didn't even have to. He just kept
Speaker 5: his feet on and so that's all good. But eventually
Speaker 5: they're gonna, you know, Philly and Buffalo Miami, their team
Speaker 5: is going to say, Okay, we're going to start playing
Speaker 5: the pass and we're not even going to start worrying
Speaker 5: about the run because they have right now, I'll run.
Speaker 2: We did, okay. I think Proud had seventy plus yards
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 3: It looks good from a new miracle standoint. Hollard had
Speaker 3: sixty eight, but they had one hundred and thirty six.
Speaker 3: Thirty of that though, was Ceedee Lamb on end the rounds. Yes,
Speaker 3: so if you take his thirty out, they're at one
Speaker 3: thirty two carries for one oh six. That's three point whatever.
Speaker 2: That's tough. We're only doing it.
Speaker 5: It's only effective in regards to keeping the defense honest.
Speaker 5: That's the only way it's effective. The fact that we
Speaker 5: would attempt to run. It's not that it's a successful play,
Speaker 5: just the fact that we attempt it. Okay, we'll keep
Speaker 5: them honest, but they really aren't threatened at all by
Speaker 5: our running game.
Speaker 4: I want to see a rotation with Recodoudle, who can
Speaker 4: create those pockets for Tony Pollards. We need to see
Speaker 4: him move the line of scarvage a little bit. And
Speaker 4: then not only that, but I'm personally a little sick
Speaker 4: of the toss from Dak to Tony Pollard.
Speaker 2: Well we scored once, we did, yeah, but.
Speaker 4: In the field, but it's so repetitive all the time,
Speaker 4: and we need to.
Speaker 2: Have going sideways. He never cuts up.
Speaker 4: Let him run the ball, let reco down. I'll run
Speaker 4: the ball. That's it.
Speaker 3: So the last time when they played Philadelphia, they had
Speaker 3: twenty one carries for seventy three yards. It's three and
Speaker 3: a half yards to carry, you got it. Least get
Speaker 3: the four. Right now, they've done a little bit better
Speaker 3: job these last five games. So one O two against
Speaker 3: the Rams, one sixty eight against the Giants, one O
Speaker 3: seven against Carolina, one hundred against Washington, and that's Washington, right.
Speaker 2: I see.
Speaker 5: The problem you have is, you know, you don't open
Speaker 5: things up for the passing game.
Speaker 2: You just don't, you know.
Speaker 5: And every time we run, not only does it not
Speaker 5: open it up, it's a deficit because we'll end up
Speaker 5: losing two yards. You know, let's start off, maybe nice
Speaker 5: to get a passing play and it's second and two.
Speaker 5: Next thing you know, you end up thirty and five
Speaker 5: again because we lost three yards trying to go wide,
Speaker 5: and that has been consistently happening, you know, to where
Speaker 5: we have had negative plays when it comes to western plays.
Speaker 3: Pollard had a sixteen yard run. Okay, that's fine, but
Speaker 3: nothing more other than Lamb's twenty four. But from a
Speaker 3: running standpoint, Rico's long was eight yards.
Speaker 2: And that was a tough eight. I remember that run
Speaker 2: he did on his own.
Speaker 5: He did that on his own, carried him Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: he busted through three people to get the eight yards.
Speaker 3: So to me, it's not almost the average. Well, the
Speaker 3: average yards per carry is important, but you need some
Speaker 3: chunk runs to back people off. Yes, right, make there,
Speaker 3: maybe they come. They have to put another guy in
Speaker 3: there to prevent a big play.
Speaker 2: Bring him down, bring them down.
Speaker 3: And that's what's not happening enough in that in that
Speaker 3: running game.
Speaker 5: And we're still successful when it comes to the past,
Speaker 5: but once again, everything doesn't work well all the time.
Speaker 5: There are gonna be times when we won't be able
Speaker 5: to get that bo Yes, man, you know, you.
Speaker 2: Don't know what the weather is going to be like.
Speaker 5: And then you have to switch over and go to
Speaker 5: that humidity, that oven in Miami.
Speaker 2: You know, how long can you take that?
Speaker 5: You think CD got tired being targeted this past game.
Speaker 2: Seventeen, right, you know, we're gonna have to spread this
Speaker 2: thing out. We're gonna have to spread this thing out.
Speaker 5: So these are the kind of things that, you know,
Speaker 5: they kind of messed with what our trend is. You know,
Speaker 5: every every game, we're not going to be able to
Speaker 5: pass our way out of it, and we need to
Speaker 5: be careful in that.
Speaker 2: So we have to be more diverse.
Speaker 3: You were getting ready to say, were you agreeing with
Speaker 3: the run?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 4: I was agreeing with the run completely. We need to
Speaker 4: run the ball more. We need to get that set
Speaker 4: up this week to establish the run game for the
Speaker 4: remainder of the games this season.
Speaker 3: And for me from a defensive standpoint, they need to
Speaker 3: either continue or get better at putting pressure on opposing.
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks and not just when we're ahead.
Speaker 3: Right, because I mean, what did they They only sacked
Speaker 3: what they sack Gino like zero times.
Speaker 2: I thought it was one, but but they said it
Speaker 2: didn't count. We sacked, we.
Speaker 3: Sacked the running.
Speaker 4: The trip from but that wasn't a sack.
Speaker 3: They had the one and it was on their running
Speaker 3: back Dallas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, but back to that because it was
Speaker 2: a kind of a double.
Speaker 5: But wouldn't the league go through, uh the different plays
Speaker 5: and see that that was a sack by Parsons.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't they allow wouldn't they give that to him? If
Speaker 2: they review.
Speaker 5: Everything the calls all week, they wouldn't go back and
Speaker 5: look at that play where I thought, clearly Geno's knee
Speaker 5: was on the ground before he threw.
Speaker 3: Well, but they didn't count it. But you know it
Speaker 3: was incompletion, so they can't change that. So he doesn't
Speaker 3: get a sack on it, but he should have because
Speaker 3: his knee was down. I can't believe they didn't even
Speaker 3: review it.
Speaker 5: To telecrapt it happens in Dallas. It only happens in Dallas.
Speaker 4: I think also this week we have to clean up
Speaker 4: the penalties.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt, no thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4: During the Seahawks game.
Speaker 3: You have to look at those thank you so much
Speaker 3: or get a different crew, officiating crew.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 5: We fuss about it and Pete kell you know, hey,
Speaker 5: I'm going to address this. Hell, we're still the most
Speaker 5: penalized the two top penalized teams. So it's not like
Speaker 5: we're surprised that they were throwing a bunch of flags.
Speaker 5: Maybe they came in anticipating a lot more than we
Speaker 5: actually had. Maybe that's why that was their mindset. Okay,
Speaker 5: we don't want to let this game get out of
Speaker 5: hand with too many guys. You could get into a
Speaker 5: melee because guys would be fussing by getting held all
Speaker 5: the time. So we're gonna we're gonna stop this now. Okay,
Speaker 5: we're gonna stop this. We're gonna stop the bleeding. But
Speaker 5: what they did was just extended a game for thirty
Speaker 5: extra minutes.
Speaker 3: It was a long game.
Speaker 2: It was a long game.
Speaker 3: What did I tell you? It was three twenty five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, three and a half hours.
Speaker 3: And when you play your starting late, you're not a
Speaker 3: three o'clock game.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: If Pete wants to do something about flags, then coach better,
Speaker 5: because they there were a lot of justified flags on
Speaker 5: both sides.
Speaker 3: Right, and and so that's a good point, and they
Speaker 3: do need to clean that up.
Speaker 2: So they had it gets us in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 3: They had ten and and that means if you add
Speaker 3: that to their total, now it's ninety one.
Speaker 4: Ninety one total penalties.
Speaker 5: Jeez, So you go to Buffalo, crazy weather, make a play,
Speaker 5: everything's chaotic, it comes back.
Speaker 4: You can't afford that.
Speaker 5: You can't afford that. Now you cannot afford They go
Speaker 5: to Miami. We'll all ready hot and tired. Now we
Speaker 5: got to go run some extra place here because we
Speaker 5: keep and when you're fatigued, you also are prone to
Speaker 5: more penalties. Right, So it's too late in the season
Speaker 5: to expect the change. I would be surprised if there
Speaker 5: was one. It's too late in this season to expect that.
Speaker 5: Now that's just another handicap that we're going to have
Speaker 5: to deal with.
Speaker 3: Well and there. I'm kind of with McCarthy on this one.
Speaker 3: The penalties of aggression. You live with the false starts
Speaker 3: in lining up in the neutral zone, it's like, come on,
Speaker 3: can't you see? Yeah, we need some better vision.
Speaker 2: It ain't that hard. It's right there. What do you need?
Speaker 5: It's right there, The ball's right there. Okay, it's right there.
Speaker 5: It's not it's right there. I don't know what else
Speaker 5: you need.
Speaker 3: And it's not moving until it right heel, it moves.
Speaker 5: You know where you gotta line up there? It is
Speaker 5: right there. You have all these these lines on the field.
Speaker 5: Those are yardage. That's yordage. Okay, you're right there, dude.
Speaker 5: They don't change it. Ain't that hard.
Speaker 3: They need the blue line out there.
Speaker 2: Ok.
Speaker 5: We get the benefit of Why don't you have more
Speaker 5: DB's lining up off sides. We're way down here, yet
Speaker 5: we can see where to line up, and the ball
Speaker 5: is way over there. These line on are right there
Speaker 5: on the ball. Oh my bad.
Speaker 2: Come on, bro, it's just too much, too much. We
Speaker 2: close it on that one.
Speaker 3: They need a blue line, all right, and we will
Speaker 3: close mick shots and we will be back tomorrow here
