0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.360

<v Speaker 1>Any any news from the locker room, any breaking news

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>from the locker room? Um, because you just got back

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>from there. You know what, I printed out my snap

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>counts and they didn't print out. Well, is there anyone

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>in particular you need to know about? Well, yeah, I'll

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>let you know. I've got it called up. Right now

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>as we're starting the show, I'm writing down the snap counts.

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I got the page with the two guys at the

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>bottom right, which are the kicker in the out. Okay, well,

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>if you got it, I've got so to kick off.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>So to kick off this edition of mix Shots, Mickey

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>will read off the snap counts for Saturday's game. Absolutely

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>because there are a couple will get to Uh. Sam

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Williams is cleared to practice. Okay, that was my first question.

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to know whether or not you saw him

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>in the locker also cleared to live, by the way, Um,

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>how about this, guess when he bought his new car Friday,

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I know, Wednesday night, Wednesday night, he didn't even have

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>it twenty four hours before. So the exit occurred on Thursday, Thursday,

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>two o'clock to day afternoon, maybe something like that. Right,

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>because it was a he had just left the facility.

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I assume he was headed home to get with his

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>family that came in for Christmas, and his brand new

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>probably had stickers still on it. Right, he did twenty

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty two zero six corvette. Yeah, demolished wheel Love corvettes,

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>just demolished. And I saw the footage of it. He

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>was he understood. He said, my first thoughts were thank God,

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>it could have been worse. And immediately he thought about

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>my son and his mother, and that how fragile life

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>is that it could have been over. Somebody said you

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>have your seatbell out. He goes, oh, yeah, because if

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't, I'm not here. And he was talking about

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 1>getting out of the car. He said he had to

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>push a button to get out of the car, and

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the ladies car was smoking, and they went over to

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>her car, and he said, there was a bunch of

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>people there. They had their phones out and and he goes,

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>we couldn't get the door open. We had to wait till,

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, the emergency veagles got there. And they said, well,

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>who'd you call first? And he goes, my hands were

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>so cold, I couldn't dial on my phone. They put

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>me in the in the squad car or whatever, and

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>he was able to dial and he dialed here and

0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Brian Wansley and cable to let him know would happened.

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, he said, he's very He said, I'm not

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>called and I'm paraphrasing right, he goes, you never know

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>when that's gonna happen. I called every family member I

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>could think of and just let him know that I

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 1>was okay and how much I loved him. That's crazy, man,

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he was. I didn't know it was. You know, yeah,

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you hear reports that he was involved in a car

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.159
<v Speaker 1>accident and it was it came out that he was

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>taken in the driver of the other vehicle. They were

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>taken to the hospital for observation or with minor injuries. Well,

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>he's got scars all over his head and I was thinking, oh,

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>he must have hit his head on this or that,

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and somebody pointed out, Um, that it looked like bruises

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>from your air bag exploding in your face. And I

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't realize it was hot the air. I never had

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>an air bag explode on me. Um. Yeah, he was

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of bruised up, but other than that, he was good,

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and he said when he woke up Saturday, he was

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>He said, I was good to go. I can play,

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 1>And they told him, now, just take the day off.

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>So he said, I spent the day yelling at my television.

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey tell him, welcome to the club. Yeah, he said,

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the day yelling at the television. And I forgot the

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>term he used. He said, the CD Lamb turned me up.

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>So he was he was big on CD's performance. Yeah. So, uh,

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that was probably the biggest thing that came out of

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>the locker room that he's he's he's fine and good

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 1>to go, and the fact that he's talking to the

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>media and everything. Yeah, at first they didn't. He said

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>he didn't want to talk about it on camera, and

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>then towards the end, you know, we kind of made

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>small talk with him. Then he stood up and said, okay,

0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>let's do let's do it. Okay, so good, all right, yes,

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>very good. Also saw Terrence Steele. He's already had his surgery.

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>He big old crutches, big old knee brace. But you

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>know he's on his way. When you're a big old man,

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you got big old crutches and big old knee braces.

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, Um, what a game on and what an

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>entertaining game on Christmas Eve. And now as we do

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>turn our attention towards Tennessee, it's very interesting going forward

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>coming out of that game. Cowboys, injury wise, came out

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>of it well, right, Nicky, Yes, the Eagles did not.

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>They lost Lane Johnson. I didn't check Lane Johnson apparently

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>as a torn tendon and his abdomen and it's probably

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>out for the next couple of weeks. They hope to

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>get him back for the playoffs. Okay. And Avonte Maddox

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>he's got a significant toe injury according to reports, and

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>so he's out and he was playing lights out the

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>early part of that game, right, A cornerback for ye

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>corner for them. So yeah, they did, but I didn't see.

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we didn't get an injury report after the game,

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>right Cowboys? So yeah, I think everybody actually got through

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>it and good to go. The other thing just mentioned this,

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and we wanted to get into a lot of the Eagles.

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee's got nothing to play for on Thursday. I mean,

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>when you look at the standings in the AFC, South

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee plays Jacksonville in the season finale. Jacksonville would beat

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee a couple of weeks ago, and so it doesn't

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 1>matter whether Tennessee wins or loses this game because Tennessee

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>lost to Houston. They're they're going to be within one

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>game of each other no matter what the results are

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>this week. So Tennessee will probably rest players this week.

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Derrick Henry, I mean, they're their important game is next

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>week against Jacksonville. Doesn't matter what they do against the Cowboys.

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.319
<v Speaker 1>They have to win the Jacksonville game to make the playoffs,

0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>win their division, and they should use this as a

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>nice practice game. Though. If they lose, they're a game behind.

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Pull up the standings here. I just wanted to say,

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>because they're tied the game seven and eight right now, right,

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and but but Jacksonville beat them, right, and so if

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>even if they lose in Jacksonville wins this week, okay,

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville would have a one game well, hadn't makes sense? No, No,

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee's ahead of the Jacksonville in the standings said they

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>were both seven and eight. Let me see, let me

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>look it up here. I think I'm pretty sure on that.

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's if they were even if if Tennessee beats Jacksonville.

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>They must have a better division record or something to

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>give them the tiebreaker at this point. Yeah, I'm looking

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that up. You talk of it, but I'm both seven

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and seven. What my point was though, even if they

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 1>lose in Jacksonville wins and they're a game behind, if

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>they beat them, then then then they're they've split. They've split,

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and so whatever the division record, they must have a

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 1>better division for Jacksonville. Yeah, I mean, if if they

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>win that last game against them, they're they're in well

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 1>both teams. Yeah, it's gonna be a winner take all. Yeah,

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>last game point being, Tennessee's got nothing to play for. Now,

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>tell me what you'll thought about the Cowboys and the

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Eagles ever since you go first. I thought it was

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:25.839
<v Speaker 1>a very unnecessarily exciting game. I mean I did enjoy

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, how we were resilient in almost every phase

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>of the game. But when I look at the our defense,

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm I keep going back to nineteen eighty one, I

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 1>keep going back to last year, to where you know,

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 1>not being able to stop our offensive teams, not being

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>able to stop them from moving moving the chains. It

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>always catches up with you if you show that pattern.

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if you change it sometime early on

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>before the playoffs start. If you're not careful, those same

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>bad habits reared their ugly heads when it comes down

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>to those drives where you needed in the playoffs. Right now,

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>this team looks great, it's exciting, but I still don't

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>see defensively the toughness that you need, the consistency that

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 1>we need from our pass rush and our past defense.

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Now I haven't said that I love the turnovers. That's great.

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Minshoe's interceptions. Those weren't bad passes. Those were great interceptions.

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's just be real about that. Those were held of

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.319
<v Speaker 1>interceptions by jay Ron Curse catching it with one hand

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>while covering the wide receiver and of course with Bland

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 1>just him taking that ball away from him. That's one

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>of the gutsiest moves I've seen the defensive back make

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>here in the long long time. Of course, you got

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>guys making plays, making interceptions, but for him to not

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 1>give up on that play when it was could have

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>been just a completion and in the clutch like it was.

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Those were some clutch turnovers. But I hate to have

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to depend on that defensively for us to win the game.

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>You're asking a lot from your offense, a whole lot

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>from your offense, and it's just unfair. Well, that's who

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>this team is now, you know, right, the offense got

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to score thirty something or forty to be able to

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you got a backup quarterback. And I know Minshoe has

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>started and he's played in the league. But until they

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>had ten Leagles had ten possessions. The only times the

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys stopped them from scoring were the takeaways and the

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 1>first time in the entire game on downs on the

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>last drive. They had not stopped them on downs until

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 1>that drive. And um, and it wasn't like offensively we

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>had things under control, No, No, we needed those drives. Yes.

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>And so here's here's two things I said to myself

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 1>during the game that I thought were indicative of the

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. The first one was after the interception for

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown the big I said to myself, this effing team, right, dude,

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the worst you've ever talked about. Let's

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's ever said that on this Let's

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 1>do you think he really said it like that? Well,

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>we know what you said, but the fact that you

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>made reference to it, that's really saying a lot, and

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, do you have to like just create

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>this mountain that you have to do. Once we did that,

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>we want them right. And then on third and thirty,

0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I said, and I said this out loud, I said,

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>how would you like to be the offensive coordinator with

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>this play call? Right? And as I found out, it

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.839
<v Speaker 1>was pretty simple. It was s t y. Hilton said,

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>we had a go on both outsides, and I said,

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>so to me, I was thinking, it was like the playground.

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>You run as fast as you can to the red kettle.

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna throw it as far as I can, and

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you turn around and jump and catch it. Right. It

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>just like we're out on the street. And by god,

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>if that didn't happen, because there's no third and thirty

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 1>play call on that playsheet, right, you got to make

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>that up. And it's like, and you don't plan for that,

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>especially since two plays before both failed, right, you lost yardage.

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to depend on that, right, that's what

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you just don't want to depend on that kind of

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>greatness to pull yourself out of it. Now. Having said that,

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>this just lets you know we could have been doing

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>this all year long. I mean most teams that you

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>see play now, they take us a deep shot at

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>least three times a game. Right on this one, you

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>were forced to. We've only done two the entire season.

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 1>And that was a thirty three year old man running

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>down the field and Dak had to throw the ball.

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking since it was a fifty three yard completion,

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>he had to be seven ten yards deep, right, I

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>mean he threw the ball almost sixty some seventy yards

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>on the dime. Unbelievable. And I thought that just changed

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the entire momentum of the game. And as Ty told

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>us here a little while ago, he said, you know what,

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>he goes, if I didn't get my legs tandled up,

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>he goes, I'm scoring because the safety ain't bringing me down.

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>He goes, but I got my legs tangled. And he

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 1>thought that when he took off and he knew he

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>was even with Sleigh, he said, I got He goes

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>because he said, he said, I got another gear. He

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>ain't seen it. He's just the best. And how about this,

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>So with family in town, my brother in law paid

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 1>played baseball at FIU. So he decided I need to

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 1>put my sweatshirt on. So he puts his FIU sweatshirt on,

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and t Y Hilton stars, right. I told t Y

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Hilton the story and he goes, that's crazy, that's crazy.

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool. So I mean, do you think that

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>from here on we're gonna get more consideration for deep passes?

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, well, I don't know, but all I know

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>is that's eight straight games scoring twenty five points or more.

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty strong, it is. And you know, I know

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles didn't have their quarterback, but they had their defense,

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 1>right except for when Maddox got hurt. H And they

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 1>were pretty good defensively all year. And you put that

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>many points on them. They can say what they want

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 1>about the backup quarterback. The way we scored on their defense, right,

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that's indicative of how good we are offensively. Right now, Well,

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the way that game was playing out the first three quarters,

0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>making you pointed out they're scoring virtually every possession. I mean,

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.439
<v Speaker 1>how much better could Jalen Hurts have done? Right? Yeah,

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not. Well when you look at it, j has

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 1>a one game that's better passing yrds than I think

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you got three eighties something. Now. Yeah, this is the

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>difference though, is And the thing that Jalen Hurts has done.

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And I mean you pointed out great how Cowboys couldn't

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.120
<v Speaker 1>stop them. Well they they were able to get those

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>turnovers in the fourth quarter and get the stop at

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the end of the game and they count. Yeah. When

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Hurts is the quarterback for them, and one of the

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>great things that he's done this seat he's thrown five picks,

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>but his ability to run the football giving them a

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't running back. They've been able to control games

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and they haven't turned the ball over as on the season.

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 1>They're like tops in the league in giveaways, and they

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.959
<v Speaker 1>gave the ball away four times in this game. That

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 1>has a total reflection on the game is different. They

0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>have control of the games when he's been in there. No,

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.640
<v Speaker 1>but he's also with five picks on the season, He's

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 1>he's been prone to throw a pick here and there too,

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.439
<v Speaker 1>So there's no saying that he couldn't have done the

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:33.479
<v Speaker 1>same thing because those weren't bad throws made. Yeah, they

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>were good defensive plays that both Um Curse made and Bland. Yeah.

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 1>So all right, we're just getting started on this edition

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 1>of Big Shots. As Mickey counts up all the snap counts,

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that's right. I got him now, right from Saturday's game,

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and we've got much more when we continue in just

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 1>a moment. The Medal of Honor is our country's highest

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.800

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.880
<v Speaker 1>visuals have served in the armed forces since the Civil War.

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Fewer than four thousand have received the Medal of Honor.

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.520

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 1>he filled up his tank and it was the cold weather.

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.359
<v Speaker 1>It was governing it sent the cold weather. Did not

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 1>know that the cold weather was coming in. And so

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, because it it fell on Thursday morning, okay,

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:56.160
<v Speaker 1>which was our last show, right, and it fell down.

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean their temperature was all right, plumbing, it was

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.199
<v Speaker 1>down already to twenty six degrees on its way to

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>And so that was my score, thirty to twenty six.

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Very well, it missed it by only ten points, mickey, Okay,

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>forty to thirty four, right, yeah, okay, So what was

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 1>your scores? Another scores? What the craft think mine was?

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Twenty eight twenty four. Okay, so we were close. So

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm closer t eighteen you were twenty seven eighteen. Yeah,

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think. Ok it was like the halftime and

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 1>my player was a d Law. No, your player with

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Sam Williams. No, you gave me another shot. You gave

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:41.919
<v Speaker 1>me another shot. He said, you go give me grace,

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and you did because you gave Yeah, you made your pick. Yeah,

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 1>because it actually occurred Thursday after that. So I said,

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a Christmas season. I'm in a giving mood.

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>You can go ahead and get a mulligan. And so

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.399
<v Speaker 1>you went with d Law. All right, Mickey, do you

0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 1>remember who you pay? Sam Williams got a mulligan too, Yes,

0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 1>he did. My brother, Um, I picked that Prescott. No,

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that you may have. I think Chris has it.

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Chris has it because he sent it to me. I think,

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:15.239
<v Speaker 1>oh he did. Yeah, Okay, I'm looking I'm looking right.

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. You know who would you pick? But

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:25.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember who did. I picked Pollard. I

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 1>picked Tony Pollard. Here you're out, so I'm the only

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 1>one that could win. Okay, so you win? Okay, Macky

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 1>wins all right. What else is on your legal pad?

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Um A couple things. So we saw how they started

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 1>off the game at cornerback with Darn Bland playing left corner,

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 1>m mackenzie Alexander playing in the slot, and then suddenly

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>they made a change. They put nashun right out at

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.879
<v Speaker 1>corner when they had to go nickel and move Bland

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>back inside and checked out. This is what I was

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:14.880
<v Speaker 1>looking for for the snap counts. Duran Bland played ninety

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>four percent of the snaps, sixty seven of seventy one

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and Nashan Wright and I got to go back and

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 1>look this up. This might be the most snaps he's

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 1>played in a significant game with the game still on

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the line. He played thirty eight snaps fifty four percent,

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:39.439
<v Speaker 1>and Alexander played fourteen. So I'm wondering if this is

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>indicative of what they do going forward, because I thought

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Nashan Wright played pretty well. Yeah, and his high number

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 1>of snaps this season has been nineteen against Jacksonville and

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that's and I'll guarantee you that's probably this is probably

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>for his career. I was just talking to him and

0:24:56.640 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>he goes, well, man, you know, he goes, I understood

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 1>my role but you had to be ready for your

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 1>opportunity and if you and I don't. For some reason,

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I left my play by play behind, but I think

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I can find it on here. On the on Philadelphia's

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:23.920
<v Speaker 1>last drive, he made the tackle. So on the second

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 1>it was the second and five play, maybe because I

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:32.520
<v Speaker 1>wrote down right, so he must have made the tackle.

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It was a six yard gain, I think, and he

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:40.360
<v Speaker 1>kept the guy. That was the first play of the drive.

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>Was it six yards to Zach Pascal. There was another

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 1>one though it was later because I wrote down right,

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and he stopped the guy from making He stopped the

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>guy from getting out of bounds. And he said, I

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 1>realized when I was talking to him today that I

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:58.239
<v Speaker 1>had to keep him from going forward. I forced him

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to go out backwards. And he said, after and he goes,

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>go back and look at it. And for those of

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you that are watching this, he said, after I did that,

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I was winding my arm. Yes, that was that was

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I believe on the first play, okay, and he said,

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I was winded. Well. The other thing, he just helping

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the referee out right. The other thing I knew I

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>had I told him. I knew I had to keep

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:25.679
<v Speaker 1>him from going forward. So pretty good play on his

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That shows that he understands the rule on it too,

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>because because he was right on the sideline. I mean,

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:35.480
<v Speaker 1>if the official could have borne that call right, you know,

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.479
<v Speaker 1>I was surprised that he did wind it well. The

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.120
<v Speaker 1>other thing he took a look at last week last

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:44.720
<v Speaker 1>week with the Jacksonville the Jacksonville game where jay Ron

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:46.640
<v Speaker 1>was trying to keep the guy from going he scrambled

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:49.440
<v Speaker 1>out of bound. That was forward, I mean, so that's

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 1>something I'm sure that was a teaching point right in

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the meeting room. Sure after that game. The other thing

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Right did on the second and ten play at the

0:26:57.800 --> 0:27:00.440
<v Speaker 1>nineteen yard line, Davante Smith in the back of the ngeine.

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Now he was going to be hard pressed to get

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 1>his feet down anyway, but he knew the rule there

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and he forced him out of out the back of

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the end zone. So I'll be interested to see what

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>they do going. And you know, the thing on Nashan

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Wright is when the Cowboys drafted them, they got you

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of the so called draft experts said, oh,

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 1>they took him two rounds too high. Whatever, they knew

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 1>when they drafted him that he might take some time,

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, um and making the transition into the NFL.

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.439
<v Speaker 1>But if you look at US college tape at Oregon

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:33.239
<v Speaker 1>State and you look at how he's played, I mean,

0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 1>he's got some feistiness to him. You know, he's got

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 1>some playmaking ability to collect. Yeah, intellect Ye, there you go,

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and um and he had eight tackles and and he's

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 1>got that physique they're looking for, you know, Yeah, what

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 1>is he say? Six six four? Yeah, that is that's

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:53.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. Right. We hadn't had a quarterback around here,

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that's all. I don't think ever we have had a

0:27:56.080 --> 0:28:03.200
<v Speaker 1>six four quarnerback. Uh. Well, they moved that guy to safety.

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 1>It was mccamwu in that same draft. But that other

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:10.439
<v Speaker 1>than that, that's that's unique around here. And that was

0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 1>his biggest opportunity. That was his biggest opportunity. Uh and

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 1>two pass defense he at one tackle far loss. That's

0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that's major contribution. Right. And he said when we were

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 1>talking about it, you know, waiting for his turn and everything,

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 1>he goes, I'm not new to the situation. He goes,

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:31.640
<v Speaker 1>there's millions and thousands of people dying to be in

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 1>my shoes. And I thought that was a pretty good

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, like, Okay, I understand my role, but I

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 1>got to be ready when the opportunity he was active.

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 1>He was active the entire game. Okay, let me ask

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you this. You asked if we ever had a six

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 1>four cornerback on back, now, what would be what height

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 1>sixty years ago would have been the equivalent height to

0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a six four cornerback now when you just six to

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 1>six one? Cornell Green was six three. So there was

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 1>there's your quote unquote six four quarterbacks that the Cowboys

0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a safety like he moved to safety. I got all

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>pro at both positions. Yeah, that is something that's unique

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 1>as well. Now, speaking of corners with Bland, the last

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>time they had a rookie corner with five picks ever, well, yeah,

0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:29.960
<v Speaker 1>of course, now I think I saw something different last

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>last Yeah. We gotta go back too far from me, actually,

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:40.000
<v Speaker 1>he said Bland. It says Bland's five interceptions are tied

0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:45.160
<v Speaker 1>for fourth all time among Cowboy rookies and rank second

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 1>among NFL rookies, behind Seattle's Tarique Woolen with six pro

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 1>bowler four last times high school runs four two something

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's about and Al Tall is heat six four

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 1>And now these last time a rookie had five Micky

0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 1>said his name? What did I say? Who you said?

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Somebody named Tarik Woolling. That's what it sounded like, a

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>bowling out of his minds back. Why, I don't know

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 1>who he is? Sorry, Sorry, we thought you were a reporter.

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't report on thirty two teams. Go ahead, give

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 1>me the list. When when did he do it? Tark? Yeah?

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 1>This year? Okay, he's doing the rookie this year he

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 1>made the Pro Bowl. Yeah, granted, like a four two

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 1>nine at the combine. You need to look inside my

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>big green notebook for him. Copy that stuff for the

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:51.120
<v Speaker 1>last was two thousand and two, smart guys. Okay, rookie

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and two, that's right before I know

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:58.000
<v Speaker 1>what school he went to? Him? Oklahoma. I was gonna

0:30:58.000 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 1>say how it was taking Roy Williams is one, but

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 1>he was in safety. Yeah, that's right. And the other

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 1>so Derek Ross that same year, same school, same year.

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, No Derek Ross went to I thought

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:21.360
<v Speaker 1>he went to I don't know a m I remember one, remember,

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I remember they had one kid around here. I don't

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:27.480
<v Speaker 1>remember his number, but he had gotten a few interceptions.

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 1>He was really feeling himself, and he's like, yeah, man,

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been balling. He's telling the reporters. He's like, man,

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:37.240
<v Speaker 1>what's the record? Friend, deceptions Ross went to the Ohio

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:41.840
<v Speaker 1>State University. Boom, guy, I'm talking about who was the

0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 1>guy that went to uh A and M what's the

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>college and Emerald? It's actually in Kenyan, Canada. That would

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>be Dwayne Thomas in two thousand and two. Smart. Hey man,

0:31:56.400 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 1>we got so much information here. Ye, who is who

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 1>he was? The knucklehead that there was a rookie and

0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:08.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't show up for the first day of training camp

0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't call. It was West Texas State University

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and now and now it's West Texas A and M. Yeah, okay,

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>West Texas. But now I just remember the guy because

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 1>he was well it was, it is where it was?

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Who else is on that list? I want you to

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 1>tell me who it was. I have no idea. Okay,

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you ask just those two they were the last two. No,

0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 1>but who else was on the list? I'm trying to

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:39.840
<v Speaker 1>get to ever you said that, I only have that

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>these these two guys the last time. Oh okay, I

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have Who's Can we say who has the most

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>as a rookie. Well, we probably would be very comfortable

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>pointing that out. I guess. And how many was that? Um?

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Twenty one? A lot? It's eleven, there's a lot eleven

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and two in the postseason at a lot of them.

<v Speaker 1>That's what give me. Give me the media guide. Nicky's

0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:09.600

<v Speaker 1>Here Mickey has the much anticipated answer to his own

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>trivia question about the Cowboys dB from West Texas am

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Amarillo And it was in the two thousand season and

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:28.399
<v Speaker 1>the answer is Kareem Laddimore Larimore, Kareem Laramore. I wonder

0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get it right. I was looking up Laddimore

0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Kareem Laramore out of West Texas A and M well,

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad we got that off. That's right, Yeah, that's right,

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, now that we got that cleaned up what's

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:44.759
<v Speaker 1>going to what's important, and what is important is how

0:36:44.760 --> 0:36:48.799
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys are back to work after Christmas holiday of

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:52.759
<v Speaker 1>one day and Mike McCarthy has his press conference at

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 1>three o'clock this afternoon. That's right, okay. And so for

0:36:57.040 --> 0:37:00.319
<v Speaker 1>this offense that needs to keep functioning in a high level,

0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:07.600
<v Speaker 1>what does two targets to t Y Hilton do for

0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>opposing defenses? Knowing that he had a PI on the

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:14.719
<v Speaker 1>first one, he should have had a PI on the

0:37:14.760 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>second one, and he was He had an answer for that.

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 1>He said, I didn't realize. I didn't realize I was

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:25.920
<v Speaker 1>being held until I went back and looked at it.

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:29.799
<v Speaker 1>He goes, when when when, uh, you know, growing up

0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:32.960
<v Speaker 1>as whatever a wide receiver, I'm just supposed to make

0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:36.960
<v Speaker 1>contested catches. That's it he's been doing. And see it's

0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:41.040
<v Speaker 1>not just his speed. This guy is shifty in the slot,

0:37:41.080 --> 0:37:42.799
<v Speaker 1>which I don't want to take CD out the slot

0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:45.840
<v Speaker 1>because CD is bawling out of control. But he is

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 1>able to do to perform the intermediate routes as well

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:52.640
<v Speaker 1>as the deep route. He is, to me, the closest

0:37:52.680 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get to a Mary Cooper in regards

0:37:55.000 --> 0:38:00.080
<v Speaker 1>to being precise in everything that he does. So that

0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:01.759
<v Speaker 1>was the other one I was going to look up.

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh and by the way, I'd like to give the

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Twitter people some some mister t First, says Wright made

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the tackle on third and two that prevented the first

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:16.400
<v Speaker 1>down and held them to a field goal earlier in

0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the game. Yes, okay, that's right he did. So, yeah,

0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>these are these are clutch plays made by a clutch player. So,

0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 1>so Hilton was on a pitch count and I think

0:38:29.160 --> 0:38:31.080
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy they asked him and he said, I don't know,

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it was like twenty or thirty. He had twelve snaps.

0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:42.680
<v Speaker 1>That's it. So I'm imagining those two plays. The cornerbacks,

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:44.839
<v Speaker 1>their hair is going to be standing up on edge.

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Now those some good cornerbacks that were beating. Yeah, that's

0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:51.879
<v Speaker 1>a good second. I think both times. Yes, and Slay said,

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>now the safety was supposed to get over the top. Yeah,

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I would have said it too, well held up now,

0:38:56.120 --> 0:39:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I've been there. I think nobody believes me. Come on, no,

0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 1>when he that's why, Well, I don't know if that

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.120
<v Speaker 1>was a too mad, but he looked like he was

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:10.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to stay even with him, and I don't know

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:12.239
<v Speaker 1>that that to me, they just looked like a perfect path.

0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:14.800
<v Speaker 1>But you did see the safety come over late. Yeah,

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Now on the big Now, I didn't know if he

0:39:17.920 --> 0:39:19.799
<v Speaker 1>came from the middle of the field or did he

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:22.520
<v Speaker 1>come from half to field. I didn't see the pre

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:25.080
<v Speaker 1>game pre snap lineup, and so if you if you

0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:27.760
<v Speaker 1>see the pre snap alignment, then you know what defense

0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:30.640
<v Speaker 1>they're playing. I don't think he was single high. I

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 1>think he had that to feel. If he's got to

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:35.600
<v Speaker 1>have to feel, he's got to be over there. But

0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:38.000
<v Speaker 1>he was too late. Yeah, he was too late, and

0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:40.359
<v Speaker 1>and hey, I don't mind beating our safeties as well.

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't like the safety said okay, I mean

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the corner said I'm playing underneath because I got I

0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:47.839
<v Speaker 1>got help. He was running as fast he was. He

0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:51.319
<v Speaker 1>was mad that the safety didn't come over. That was

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:54.600
<v Speaker 1>his post game uh comments. So then he said, my

0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:56.960
<v Speaker 1>safety has got to be there. Yeah. Well, I wouldn't

0:39:57.000 --> 0:40:00.520
<v Speaker 1>said it too, So would you you have said that

0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:02.600
<v Speaker 1>in the postgame come if it ain't true, I wouldn't

0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:05.040
<v Speaker 1>say that. I'm not gonna feel my safety under the bus.

0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I have mike downs through mike downs. And

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 1>he didn't throw Vince alp under the bus in Arizona

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:16.799
<v Speaker 1>until until I got I gotta tell the truth. I'm

0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:18.640
<v Speaker 1>not gonna lie, you know what I mean. The truth

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.400
<v Speaker 1>is the truth. So you can't. You can't throw yourself

0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 1>on the sow to where you're lying, right, I mean,

0:40:23.560 --> 0:40:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that's just not being honest. So anyway, twelve snaps can

0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:31.319
<v Speaker 1>he can he get twenty four next gen I like,

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:34.359
<v Speaker 1>I like the ramp up. Okay, next gens. Stats had

0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:38.799
<v Speaker 1>him at nineteen point three miles an hour on that

0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:42.120
<v Speaker 1>on that play. Oh he can do better, he said.

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:44.919
<v Speaker 1>Somebody asked him, what what what was your top? He goes,

0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it was like twenty two points, so I

0:40:46.960 --> 0:40:50.000
<v Speaker 1>could see it. I could see it, I could sleeve

0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:53.040
<v Speaker 1>and he can stop on the dime. See, it's not

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:55.040
<v Speaker 1>just about running if I'm not going here, But if

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you're running, I understand it's all cuter generated or whatever.

0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:03.799
<v Speaker 1>But if you're running right alongside Darius, say, who's to

0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:08.400
<v Speaker 1>say that the nineteen miles an hour was Darius Slay's time?

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And see why I was on the other side. If

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get rid of That's what he tells the police.

0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:25.480
<v Speaker 1>That was the other black drug. How do you know?

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:29.359
<v Speaker 1>It was me? But to me, you will talk about

0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:32.239
<v Speaker 1>snap couns the most impressive. I don't know about impressive,

0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:36.920
<v Speaker 1>but unusual or scary for your defense. The snap count

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:42.440
<v Speaker 1>for the punters non existent. There was one. There was

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:44.680
<v Speaker 1>one punt in the game, right it was that. It

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:47.319
<v Speaker 1>come on, that's crazy, yeah, one point. I mean we're

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:50.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna play some defense here, I know, I mean we're

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:52.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna play some defame. But you know who you know

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 1>who played defense? Anthony Byr had his best game and

0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I know we've kind of him a little bit. Fifty

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:04.480
<v Speaker 1>five snaps and he was was he tied for the

0:42:04.560 --> 0:42:08.400
<v Speaker 1>lead or second for the lead and tackles and interception

0:42:08.680 --> 0:42:11.959
<v Speaker 1>and he had a very important fumble recovery he did

0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:16.360
<v Speaker 1>so um that was that was an impression of performance

0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 1>by him. M yeah, well they get you know, when

0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you have so many plays, well they're successful on the

0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:26.399
<v Speaker 1>other side of the ball, you gotta have somebody that's

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.239
<v Speaker 1>got to hold it down. And then we started we

0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 1>started talking about having poise, you know, and I think

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what the defense did show. They didn't just collapse completely,

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:37.839
<v Speaker 1>right even though we were giving up, they were they

0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:40.280
<v Speaker 1>were moving the chains over and over again. We still

0:42:40.320 --> 0:42:44.160
<v Speaker 1>had the poise to make the turnovers. And that reminds

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 1>me so much of eighty one. You can say what

0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you want about it. We gave up too many big plays. Yeah,

0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the chains were moving too often. And again no sacks,

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:56.560
<v Speaker 1>no sex And as a matter of fact, I think

0:42:56.719 --> 0:42:59.719
<v Speaker 1>that's not like eighty one. We had sacks right. Yeah.

0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:03.120
<v Speaker 1>And the other part was I don't think they had

0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:08.759
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback hit. How does that happen? But again they

0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 1>got zeroed out. But that last possession, when it got

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:15.759
<v Speaker 1>to the nineteen, the pressure was coming right. It didn't

0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 1>hit him, but it came to the point he said,

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I got to get rid of the foot. Pressure was

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:22.400
<v Speaker 1>also there for the running back when he fumbled the

0:43:22.440 --> 0:43:25.439
<v Speaker 1>ball right, because first parts had scared the heck out

0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:27.319
<v Speaker 1>of him. He didn't know where he came from. Him.

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:29.920
<v Speaker 1>He made an inside move very abrupt. As soon as

0:43:29.920 --> 0:43:31.600
<v Speaker 1>he got the ball, He's like, oh, there he is.

0:43:31.800 --> 0:43:34.520
<v Speaker 1>He tried to move this way. There's Watkins. And then

0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:36.719
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken, there was another d linemen. They

0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:39.319
<v Speaker 1>came in the law. Yeah, the law came around and

0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:41.080
<v Speaker 1>you got I don't know if I couldn't tell if

0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:43.160
<v Speaker 1>someone knocked it out of his hands, but I do

0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:47.400
<v Speaker 1>know he was startled enough to where he was not conscious.

0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I think what he was doing. I remember correctly they

0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:53.160
<v Speaker 1>gave Carlos Watkins he he had a forced fumble, so

0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 1>but it was very slight, but it was enough to

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:01.120
<v Speaker 1>wear it when you have running back to have fumbles.

0:44:01.160 --> 0:44:03.359
<v Speaker 1>I remember we were working with we were talking about

0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Zeke at one point he would get hit first and

0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:10.200
<v Speaker 1>that would stun you. So now you don't know what

0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't really have a concert where the ball is.

0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Then it's the second hit that causes the damage. Right, well,

0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:19.480
<v Speaker 1>but the first hit survive and this one it was

0:44:19.480 --> 0:44:22.280
<v Speaker 1>a it was a mental hit because when when Parsons

0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:25.040
<v Speaker 1>came inside, he immediately had to make a move he

0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:27.920
<v Speaker 1>was not ready to make and then he was trapped

0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 1>as when he was trapped in there, and that's when

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Watkins slapped at it. Is that what happened last night

0:44:32.640 --> 0:44:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Arizona or on the kitch out? It was

0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Eric Scissor SAMs right, I thought he hit him in

0:44:39.360 --> 0:44:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the face phase. I think I thought so too. I

0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:46.360
<v Speaker 1>mean they could have ran out the game, h Mickey,

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:50.320
<v Speaker 1>as we close out mix shots. How about we mentioned

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the passing of Sam Blair. Sam Blair was the first

0:44:55.800 --> 0:45:01.360
<v Speaker 1>professional football beat writer uh in North Texas, going back

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:06.920
<v Speaker 1>go over sixty years ago, and I actually had just

0:45:07.040 --> 0:45:11.040
<v Speaker 1>learned of his passing yesterday. I don't normally look at

0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 1>the obituary page, but I did. Well. Here it is

0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:17.080
<v Speaker 1>yesterday in the Dallas Morning News and he actually passed

0:45:17.120 --> 0:45:20.360
<v Speaker 1>away peacefully on December eleventh, two weeks ago at the

0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:24.360
<v Speaker 1>age of ninety. Wow. Woodrow Wilson High School, University of Texas.

0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Just reading from his obituary here, the nicest guy, yeah,

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:32.280
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever, forty one year career at the Dallas

0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Morning News. He was the lead sports columnist to the

0:45:35.200 --> 0:45:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Morning News and sports editor and for forty one

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:41.400
<v Speaker 1>years I talked to him all the time. He was

0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a contributor to the Cowboys Weekly and even I probably

0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:50.239
<v Speaker 1>even when it became the Star magazine. And look, he

0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:54.960
<v Speaker 1>was inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame,

0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the North Texas Legends from the Press Club of Dallas,

0:46:00.520 --> 0:46:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and UT's Daily Texan Hall of Fame. So I mean,

0:46:05.560 --> 0:46:09.080
<v Speaker 1>he's been around, and you know what, when somebody's was gonna.

0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I knew somebody's gonna ask me, what do you remember

0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:15.280
<v Speaker 1>about Sam? Nicest guy you ever met, Even even when

0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:21.279
<v Speaker 1>US newspapers were warring, he was always just talking to

0:46:21.360 --> 0:46:24.279
<v Speaker 1>him a real jet because he was having that guy yeah,

0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:27.400
<v Speaker 1>digging for anything, right. It was just basically just a

0:46:27.480 --> 0:46:33.120
<v Speaker 1>conversation and we had when we did our documentary on

0:46:34.320 --> 0:46:36.960
<v Speaker 1>UM I want to say it was called black and

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 1>White maybe on what the race situation was in Dallas

0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:44.880
<v Speaker 1>in the early sixties and what the players had to

0:46:44.880 --> 0:46:48.000
<v Speaker 1>deal with. Some of them had, you know, admitting they

0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:50.120
<v Speaker 1>were playing with a black player for the first time

0:46:50.200 --> 0:46:54.239
<v Speaker 1>in their lives because they went to Southern universities. As

0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Sam was really good at remembering things, and it was

0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a really fun We went to his house and it

0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:04.560
<v Speaker 1>was a really fun interview with him. He was so gracious,

0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:09.799
<v Speaker 1>really nice guy. Also authored nine books, including books on

0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Roger Staubach, Bob Lily, Earl Campbell, Grant Taff, and Lee Trevino,

0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:17.839
<v Speaker 1>which tells you a lot about his relationship with so

0:47:17.880 --> 0:47:22.239
<v Speaker 1>many different types of different sports and a trust worthiness

0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:25.800
<v Speaker 1>that he had with those athletes and forty one years

0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:29.120
<v Speaker 1>that's what I'm pretty sure that he has my quotes

0:47:29.160 --> 0:47:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of his books because we talked. Oh yeah,

0:47:32.160 --> 0:47:34.479
<v Speaker 1>and it was just good to talk to. Like you said,

0:47:34.520 --> 0:47:38.560
<v Speaker 1>nobody was. It wasn't about you know, trying to got

0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:40.919
<v Speaker 1>you questions or anything like that. Well I remember even

0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:43.800
<v Speaker 1>doing our legend shows, and I can't remember specifically the players,

0:47:44.040 --> 0:47:46.600
<v Speaker 1>but players from the sixties they used to talk about

0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:50.120
<v Speaker 1>relationship with the members of the media, and they would

0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:52.960
<v Speaker 1>socialize with Sam Blair, you know, after games and stuff.

0:47:52.960 --> 0:47:55.680
<v Speaker 1>It just shows new difference. Yeah, trust that was that

0:47:55.800 --> 0:47:58.319
<v Speaker 1>was no one trying to leak anything. Yeah, whatever you

0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:01.520
<v Speaker 1>told him, it stayed in his staff. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway,

0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:06.359
<v Speaker 1>ninety years old, yea wow, yep, so condolences to the

0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Blair family and a lot of in fact, as a

0:48:09.760 --> 0:48:12.720
