This is Mick Shot 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:23.200 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:27.880 Dallas Cowboys have now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:36.280 and Nicky Spagnola. And here it is the Wednesday before Christmas, 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:41.879 and we are here to talk Cowboys with Mickey Spagnola 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.839 at Everson Walls as Eagles Week is now officially underway. 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.839 As everybody is back in the building, including Mickey Spagnola. 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.600 Look at Mickey. Everson's got our red Christmas tie on 0:00:54.880 --> 0:01:00.160 with suspenders. Oh Saint Mick somewhere today, So I'm good. Oh, 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.760 Satan Mick is in the house. Maybe that's what we 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.840 need to We need to rename the Monkey Sat Mick 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:12.200 or Sat Nick. Huh. Boys, you see you should have 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.479 thought of that yesterday. That's actually pretty good. That's right, 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.840 all right? Yeah, I see now that a periscope is 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.120 up and going now, and so I can see that 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.480 you've got Saint Mick at your side inside the SWBC 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.600 Mortgage studio and Mickey is dressed festivally for the occasion, 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.280 probably been inside Forward Center and watched a little practice 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.200 today too, right, Mickey, Yes, we did. They needed a 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.560 pull report today from Rob and I, and so we 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.200 got to watch those warm ups and stretch and a 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.920 couple of individual drills. And I can tell you that 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:52.600 Ezekiel Elliott was on the resistance chords working off to 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.320 the side during the time we were there. Mike McCarthy 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.680 made it sound like that he would be limited to 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.000 these first couple of days, but kind of hopeful that 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:07.000 he would be able to play on Sunday against the Eagles. There. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.240 The Woods were not there, Xavier and Antoine they were 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:16.280 gonna miss practice with their respective injuries. Neither was Layton 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:20.200 vander esh But Michael Gallop looked like he might be 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:24.760 doing something. At least he was out there. He went 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:29.720 through the team stretch. The wide receivers were sort of 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.440 off to the side doing their stuff with the Special 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.920 Teams unit working and then but he had his helmet, 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.960 so that bodes well for maybe doing a little something, 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.399 And Mike McCarthy thought that from what they've seen over 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.320 the last past two days that he should have a 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.920 good chance of playing on Sunday. So that's what we 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.720 saw in practice, Although we haven't heard yet. Why but 0:02:54.800 --> 0:03:02.240 the bell Doozer was not at practice tonight. Hmmm. Interesting. Okay, 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.760 no Blake Bellott practice because he didn't have anything. Now 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:09.080 he did, Yeah, so hopefully it was a personal matter 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.280 or something. But yeah, he was not there and we 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:17.280 hadn't heard yet the reason for that yet. Well about 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:22.760 the other ou sooner Uh, Okay, Gallimore was out there, Yeah, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.440 he looked like he was ready to go. So and 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.959 Mike didn't even mention him with the with the injury guys, 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.760 So it looked like he was good to go. Uh. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.040 And I guess without ant twine Woods out there justin 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.720 Hamilton would they had been using him at the other 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.840 defensive tackle spot. Uh. And then when they were going 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.560 to their nickel in the game, if you noticed, I 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:50.080 mean the nickel when it was definite passing situations, uh, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.520 they moved Aldon Smith inside with Tyrone Crawford as the 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.840 pass rushers, and then Randy Gregory was the defensive end 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.640 along with DeMarcus Lawrence. That was an excellent move. That 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:06.640 is the first piece of individual defensive coaching I think 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:12.120 I've seen all year long. They made an adjustment, I mean, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.000 and first of all, good afternoon. Bill. You know you 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.599 didn't even get around to introducing me. Thank you very much. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.600 I want to say hi to the people. I got 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.119 my spash special on here. You see that special? Yeah, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.400 my mix got my mix shot special. I had to 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.240 wait till I got a little warmer. And all right, 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.080 look there there you go, look at that. See that. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.440 I'm the only one that listens to Bill. I'm the 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.440 only one that listens to Bill. Even though this is 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.480 yours show. We were supposed to be pretty festive in 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.919 regards to our what we crowned out. Yeah, that is 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.839 very cool, spact. You look very good. But I must say, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:05:00.760 you blew it. There you go. It's got the tag 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.440 on it and everything right there. All right, all right, 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.159 you're right. You know, I checked my stock show. I 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.359 checked my stocking caps. I checked my stocking caps that 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.280 we had, and I've got a pretty small head, but 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.200 none of them fit. So I said, no, I don't 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.119 think we're gonna let it just sit up like like 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.160 like like one of those color things. So that's Those 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.320 are Christmas trees on top of your head? Ever since 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:32.040 that is okay, make noise too, very nice. Noise can't here, 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.880 but they make a little noise. I'm cool. Well, just 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.000 let me know when we need to make noise. I'll 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.160 put the batteries in satan Nick and get a little 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:43.800 clapping going on. Oh wow, sat Nick comes with batteries too. 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.680 Oh yeah, all right, except that I don't have the 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.000 push button, so it doesn't turn off unless I take 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:55.520 the batteries out. We can sing Christmas carols in our 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.640 last segment if you'd like. I don't sing. Let's not 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.760 no please. I cannot sing or dance, by the way, 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.119 So yeah, I can remember. I can remember in third 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.680 grade we'd count off and we'd have like four different 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.160 teams in the class, and we'd be counting off and 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.400 I'd say the number, and then the kids that were 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.600 going to be on that team. Goal, of God, we've 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:26.400 got him on the team. When I tried out, when 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.200 I went to my first choir rehearsal at my church 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.280 in Hamilton Park, we had a very strict music teacher, 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.200 you know, choir leader, and boys, she scared me. I 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.920 mean she scared me. She would play the music and 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.120 threaten you at the same time as she lips some 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:49.800 things right. And my first song, my first solo, I 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.240 had you have to do it. You know, it's a 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.640 writer passage in everybody's church or whatever. My writer passage 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.520 was to have my first solo. I cried as I 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:05.000 sang throughout the entire so ote it. I was like nine, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.719 maybe nine years old. I hated it. You know, it's 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.800 like saying your first East of speech. You always punk out, 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.880 you know what I mean. You get up there and 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.440 you're like, oh my god, there's too many people, and 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.280 then you go running to your mom. You're sitting there 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.880 lap and start crying. Something that's pretty much might bring 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.840 all right, the breaking news out of Washington today. I 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.480 just saw an NFL network they have stripped the captain 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:36.040 label for Dwayne Haskins. And so, of course that game 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.080 of a great importance to the Cowboys Washington taken on Carolina, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.760 and so he's no longer captain Dwayne Haskins. He wasn't 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:48.000 practice today, however, I saw a report that he cannot 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.480 be in meetings. He only can do zoom meetings. So 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.640 he can be on the practice field with his team, 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.240 but he can't, but he has to go virtual once 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.920 they're off the practice field. So wait a minute, the 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:06.080 NFL and punish him apparently, there was a report that 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.880 the the Washington football team, as a reporter put it, 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.640 they worked out a deal with the NFL on something. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.520 And I don't know what that deal entails. I bet 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.120 Denver would like to know what the deal is practice 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:23.240 exactly exactly, that's right? What what is what is this 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.960 Capitol Hill making deals? What is going on? This guy's 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:32.280 getting the pardon already? Is Washington? Yeah, everybody else is 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:37.480 getting pardons. They might as well pardon him too. Yeah, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.440 so I'll be I'll be tracking that deal was possible 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.440 and he and he's not and he's not even being 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:48.280 set in as a prison already. I don't I don't 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:52.520 really understand that that's even part of the the process 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.200 of protocol. Yeah, you know, you have to do this 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.080 and you have to do that. But if we can 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.920 make a deal, then yeah, all of that goes away. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.559 I don't know. That sounds very fishy to meet. I mean, 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.120 which team was it the players got fined for being 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:10.920 at that charity thing? Giants? Was it the Giant? I 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:17.360 think it was the Giants? Huh the Raiders, that's right? Thanks? Yeah, yeah, thanks. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.240 So anyway, that's going on right now. But as far 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.440 as the Cowboys are concerned. They are concerned with a 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.960 different quarterback, and that would be the rookie Jalen Hurts 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.160 this week, and over the course of these forty five minutes, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.400 we'll discuss a lot about how do you defend Jalen Hurts. 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.000 And I think that's one of the more fascinating aspects 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:45.079 of this matchup is the way the Eagles are using 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.840 Jalen Hurts and what the Cowboys are going to do 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.319 to defense Jalen Hurts. And one guy, Mickey, you did 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.280 not mention your practice report because he would not be 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.920 at practice. That would be late in Vanderesh, and the 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.240 Cowboys will be without Vanderesh this week. It looks like, yeah, 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.760 you know what I've I've taped like four different things, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.840 and so it's like I just figured I mentioned Layton Vanderish, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.480 but he's not going to play. I mean, if he's 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.679 got a now high ankle sprain, he's out for at 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.760 least a couple of weeks. So, uh, yeah, he will 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:21.839 not be at practice this week for sure. And so basically, 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.560 and as you alluded to or you've mentioned before with 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:29.240 the Woods, both Antoine and Xavier looks like they'll be 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.800 out this week. Vanderish out. So you're down three starters 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.920 on defense this week. Yeah, absolutely, And you know with 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.760 Xavier out, they they are. When he left the game, 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:45.560 Darien Thompson and Donovan Wilson took care of safety, and 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.760 then at the linebacker spot it was Sean Lee and 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.480 Joe Thomas and you know it was funny they were 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:56.080 so when they were practicing, uh, special teams, Thomas and 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:01.080 Gifford and whoever else Bernard they're at with special teams. 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.640 So the linebackers are over at the side there and 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.360 there's only three of them, and I looked and I go, God, 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:12.800 that's like getting one on one, you know, special attention 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.760 you get, you get individual instruction over there when you're 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.960 a linebacker. You got two linebacker There was actually three 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:27.840 linebacker coaches and three linebackers. So they shouldn't make a mistake, right, Well, No, 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:32.080 that lets you know what the priority is gonna be 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.880 for this weekend. We know what's gonna happen. Well, it's 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.760 like going back to ou Bill. It's like it's gonna 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.319 be another big twelve game. Hurts is gonna be running 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.200 the same offense pretty much. They probably land at Ou 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.079 in regards to the RPO putting the pressure on them 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:55.120 one way or the other. You better contain every play, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.680 make sure he doesn't get outside. I mean, we know 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.800 what's gonna happen. We have to do is go back 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.840 and look at the Kyla Murray game. We can see 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.360 what's gonna happen in regards to what the defense is 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.600 going to be facing. And I don't know without with 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:14.080 our few linebackers that we have left, we know that 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.439 we have no choice but to be in that nickel, 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.040 even if we thought about changing, which obviously we never will, 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.760 but I still, even if we had that option, having 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.640 these few linebackers, Philly think they're like it's blood in 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.800 the water for Philly. They're gonna they're gonna come after 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.760 them and go up, come at their weakness defensively, you know. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.280 And if they only have three linebackers, no big deal 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.360 because they only played more than one. You know, they 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.520 played two, but never mores and you know sometimes just one. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:47.160 So three is fine, and I hope and is going 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.120 to lead over to the secondary right rights. Fact. Now 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.400 you got another another safety that's gonna have to be 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.359 ready and playing in a position that they're not accustomed 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.440 to playing in as well. Um, it makes situational football 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.320 even more important. And maybe that's what they were going 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.320 over as they would being isolated. You know, certain things 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.280 you just have to expect in certain situations, and maybe 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.960 you play one of the corners as a safety. I 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.760 would think that Anthony Brown could probably do that. If 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.600 Trey Von Diggs is ready to take more snaps at 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.840 at the cornerback position, Jordan Lewis in the slot, Chitebeo 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.240 Woozier at the other corner, maybe you use him in 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:32.880 that situation because he's played in the slot before. So yeah, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.120 they're gonna have to adjust. But that's this season, right, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.720 It's all about adjusting and how well you do. And 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.480 you better adjust to Jalen Hurts. I went back and 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.080 looked and added up his numbers. You guys over these 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.960 over the last two starts, he's run the ball twenty 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.800 nine times for a hundred and sixty seven yards. He's 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.040 got five hundred and five yards passing with four touchdowns, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:03.439 no interceptions by the way, yep, and even with a 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.120 guy that hadn't had a chance to get game planned. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.640 That usually happens the first game spags, but when it 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.640 comes to the second game, there's usually an adjustment that's made. Okay, guys, 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.480 we see a little tendency. But Peterson, I've always said, 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.640 I think he's really underrated as a coach. I think 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:30.560 he anticipated those uh potential failures that comes with a 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:34.320 second start. And let's just see how well he hasn't 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.120 prepared for this game. Because at this point this year, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.040 I don't think defensively we've ever we haven't been out 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:45.840 coaching anyone. It's gonna all have to come from effort alone. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.360 And we were talking about the DBS and the Nickel package. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.640 We're gonna be a little bit more outnumbered even as 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.400 we get down in the goal line spags, because you know, 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.960 Brown is pretty decent out in coverage in the same 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.400 and there he's still not comfortable with him in that slot. 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.640 But still, when you get down that goal line, you 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.000 need to you need somebody with some bigger shoulder pads 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.400 to come in there. And now that's when you're going 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.920 further into the top of the defensive backfield. And who 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.960 you're gonna come up with that Someone who's a harder hitter, 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:20.960 you know. And I can't believe this came out of 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.080 my mouth. A couple of times this week. It's like, 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.280 you know, I'd rather see the starter Carson Wentz playing 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:32.400 quarterback than Jalen Hurts. Hmm. I was looking forward to 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.040 some costing me. I'm not lying when they when they 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.920 put Hurts there, it's like, and we talked about this, guys. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:43.240 I told you, guys, this this guy is dangerous. And Bill, 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.760 you you were referring back to when he came to 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.800 ou and you know, some of the weaknesses that he 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.920 clearly had. That's why he went second round. But you 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.600 clearly some of the weaknesses that he had. But what 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.400 I do recall, and we touched on that yesterday as well, 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:03.000 is his improvement when he was at Alabama coming into Oklahoma. 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:08.520 Clearly a different quarterback. Yes, still made mistakes, but his 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:13.480 skills passing wise and pocket presence wise. Just as a 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:18.320 leader from a quarterback position became more diverse, his entire 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:23.000 game became more diverse once he came to OUA. The 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:27.160 Cardinals sacked him six times last week, and the Eagles 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:32.200 on the season, Carson Wentz was sacked fifty times in 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.800 twelve games, fifty sacks that the Eagles had given up. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.600 And now with Hurts coming on no sacks the first 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:45.280 week against New Orleans but six sacks last week against Arizona. 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.520 With a young quarterback, a rookie quarterback like Hurts, what 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.640 do you do as far as maybe bringing the heat 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:56.320 against him and blitzing him. I'd love that situation. You 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.720 bring the heat, but it has to be a control 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:03.400 blitz because all he wants to do is break that containment. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.800 And the other thing I wouldn't do. I wouldn't even 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.159 show him the blitz because that's when I think you 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.280 give him an advantage. I wouldn't show him the blitz. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.160 I would disguise it very well and when I'd come 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.600 with it. I would love for the Cowboys to come 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:25.080 with a zone blitz. The best zone blitz can get 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:29.480 any young quarterback. And I think you use that very 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.720 often and you put that doubt in his head as 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.679 to whether it's going to be man to man the zone. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.000 And I think that the way Peterson is game planning, 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.240 and McCartney talked about it as press conference today, it's 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.760 basically they've already used every quarterback run package or run 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.920 scheme that you can imagine already, and I think you're 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.720 going to see a lot of that, and that puts 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:59.040 the defense off balance where they can't bring it so much. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.639 And the other thing with Hurts, and I saw this 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.720 last year when I watched him at Oklahoma, is because 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:10.159 he runs so effectively. When he doesn't see what's available, 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.040 what he what he wants to go with in the 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.760 passing game, he tucks it and runs it. And so 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.160 whether you use a spy against him or whatever you've got, 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:23.120 you've got to always be mindful that he's uh. He's 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.640 fully capable of tucking it and running with it. Hey Bill, 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.920 even though he's a decent pass it better than what 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:35.000 he always was at Alabama, I still think we have 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.520 controlled rushes for this guy. Just be a control of rush. 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.600 The lesser of the evils is to make him throw 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.520 the ball. Even though he's doing well and he passed 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.879 the ball well, I think you're in trouble if you 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.359 let him break containment. That will break down our defensive 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.359 backfield as it always does. I would rather pick my 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.800 poison and keep him in the pocket. Keep him in 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.560 the pocket and make him come pleat the ball, make 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.560 them start them, make them run the play they call, 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:10.879 don't let them improvise. There you go, no, no improvisation. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.840 We don't do whether in the second day when someone improvises. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.040 All right, we're just getting started on this edition of 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.920 Mixed Shots.

It's a 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:59.800 three twenty five kickoff on Sunday the Cowboys and the Eagles. 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.160 And of course the Washington Carolina game has now been 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.560 moved to three h five, so there'll be some scoreboard 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:10.280 watching on that AT and T Live FX video board 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.960 at AT and T Stadium. And here's the latest Mickey 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:22.680 and Everson on Dwayne Haskins. As Haskins, Washington has fined 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:27.400 Haskins in addition to stripping him of captain. Haskins will 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:31.560 not be suspended and will start against the Panthers if 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.680 Alex Smith is not good to go. Head coach Ron 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:38.240 Rivera says the decision on the punishment was based on 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:45.040 league standards. So I'm I'm wondering that deal that Washington 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.400 had with the league. I guess the league basically told 0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.520 him handle it according to league standards on your own 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.399 and we'll see if the league comes down with something 0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:57.880 at the league agrees with what Washington is doing here. 0:22:58.200 --> 0:22:59.760 You know, one of the things that made it different 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:04.480 from the Bronchos situation is, you know, there was security 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:09.000 video inside the Bronchos facility where the quarterbacks were all 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.960 together in a meeting without mask on, and that's what 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:16.280 helped cause their they'm all to go into COVID and 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.480 they wound up having to play a wide receiver at 0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:23.359 quarterback that game. So it's okay, though, to go and 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.200 not have a mask on in a nightclub and hanging out. 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.439 I don't no, I don't know. I'm just saying that 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:33.640 maybe the difference and every day and I did call 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:39.280 it a nightclub by the way, Well someone should have 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:41.680 worked on the statement they released. I mean, just use 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.480 the words stripping. You know, they kind of a little 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:54.560 tone deft there, Right, he was stripped. Okay, I guess 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.680 you could call it a gentleman's club. Huh, yeah, that's right. 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:02.760 I don't know. I've never been there. I don't know 0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:04.879 whether there's gentlemen in there. I don't I don't know 0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:07.720 what kind of class are we dealing with, you, You 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.040 know what I'm saying, at least they had they had 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:17.160 Washington Football Team T shirts on I heard, oh there 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.960 you go, there you go, all right? In keeping with 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:25.000 the Christmas season, what would you give the Cowboys to 0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:27.840 help them beat the Eagles on Sunday? What is it 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:30.560 that the Cowboys need for Christmas in order to beat 0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:36.320 the Eagles on Sunday? Are we talking intangibles? Are you 0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:39.800 you talking the games? Whatever you would like, whichever way 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:41.760 you like to go with it. What what do the 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:46.400 Cowboys need from Santa Claus to beat the Eagles on Sunday? 0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:51.840 I think the Cowboys need heart, That's what they need. 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:57.560 So basically talked to Santa Claus. But they need some heart. 0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.440 Whoever whatever saying it gets it we can take back. 0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:07.000 Because let's think about the last times that the Cowboys 0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:10.480 in Philadelphia have played, especially going back to I think 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.760 that was last year when Philly came through here with 0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:17.399 two injured tight ends and allowed both of them to 0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:20.960 just flourish up and down the field. We almost here, 0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:23.479 we are, We've got a chance to do something in 0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:27.639 our own hands, and we just failed miserably. I've always 0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:32.080 thought that, when it comes down to it, the Cowboys 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:36.560
