Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is nick
Speaker 1: Shot screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys at Now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. And here we are for another edition
Speaker 1: of Mixed Shots. I got my Q from Micky right there,
Speaker 1: joined it with my headset. He's not here still from yesterday.
Speaker 1: And here we are Nicky Spagnola. What happened to my headset? Something?
Speaker 1: Something was going on with him down all right? And
Speaker 1: we are inside the SWBC podcast studio. It is a
Speaker 1: Wednesday here, and it is Washington Week. It's officially Washington
Speaker 1: week because Washington finally played its game last night. And
Speaker 1: now we know exactly what is that steak on Sunday
Speaker 1: night when the football team comes here to what is that?
Speaker 1: I almost, boy, I almost text Everson at halftime because
Speaker 1: it was ten and I realized I had started I
Speaker 1: thought the game started at seven, so I started watching
Speaker 1: in an hour behind it. Now I better not do
Speaker 1: that because even as he might say, what do you
Speaker 1: mean a tie game? How come You're going to text
Speaker 1: Everson and not me here yesterday. Yeah, but I'm the
Speaker 1: one who said that the Cowboys tie. What have you?
Speaker 1: Definitely lately Bill, That's how it goes. That's life. Because
Speaker 1: we talked about it yesterday, okay, the improbability of a tie.
Speaker 1: And then it was ten ten at half time. Everson
Speaker 1: texted me yesterday at one thirty seeing if you were
Speaker 1: going to be here. No, you have my fist, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have my PREPOSI let me find you get my
Speaker 1: phone here, all right? Uh Ever, Sid texted me and said, uh,
Speaker 1: believe it or not. But at one thirty one yesterday
Speaker 1: believe it or not, Spags forgot you work coming in
Speaker 1: And you know the funny part in my notes right here,
Speaker 1: it says Bill gone it did so, I said, Actually
Speaker 1: I actually I do. Yes, I do believe it to
Speaker 1: be Spark Actually I do. And that was so funny
Speaker 1: because in my crazy man and so he's sitting here,
Speaker 1: Spass goes, oh that's right. And I didn't get didn't
Speaker 1: want to replace it. You're ready you readn't do some reads? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Thanks Bags? And no one no one wanted to replace Bill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. It was no one wanted to work with
Speaker 1: ever since that's where it was. I got another one
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to. There's a tweet I got.
Speaker 1: Did you see the tweet? I gotta find exactly Oh
Speaker 1: the guy goes out. You really like everything? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Nicky, bring us up to date on what's
Speaker 1: going on while you're looking this tweet. So soon as
Speaker 1: we started with Philadelphia beating the Washington boy, did they
Speaker 1: beat them? I was ten to ten and a half times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I was very surprised that your boy. I know
Speaker 1: it's not your boy, Bill, but even though he was
Speaker 1: a bag, you gotta accept him. He is your guy's
Speaker 1: part of the Sooner family. And he played his butt
Speaker 1: off last night the second half. The second half, he's
Speaker 1: he's like half to half game. Man, Why couldn't he
Speaker 1: do that the first part? Or at Oklahoma he got
Speaker 1: them to the championship. We won't forgiven for losing, but now,
Speaker 1: and not only that, but they ran for two So
Speaker 1: why couldn't we do that? Well? All was better do
Speaker 1: it on suddenly we should better? And that's my point.
Speaker 1: Why couldn't we do that? I mean that's what didn't
Speaker 1: have like Jim Brown running the ball? Did they or
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott, Yeah, had miles and he capitalized off of
Speaker 1: it big time. Hurts did. All of a sudden, the running,
Speaker 1: the passing game just opens up and guys a wild
Speaker 1: open And let's just be real, we talked trash about him,
Speaker 1: but every once in a while he'll put a great
Speaker 1: pass out of his out of his back pocket. Bocket
Speaker 1: that almost but the touchdown back show of fade. I
Speaker 1: can't give a guy like that energy. You can't give
Speaker 1: him energy, and that running game gave him that, right
Speaker 1: and so when it didn't end up twenty seven, so
Speaker 1: um so the ramifications of them winning basically doesn't really
Speaker 1: change much for the Cowboys. So to simplify this clinching
Speaker 1: of the NFC East, the Cowboys got to win one
Speaker 1: more game or Philadelphia has to lose one more game,
Speaker 1: and then if the Cowboys win one, they get to eleven,
Speaker 1: and even if Philly wins out, they can only get
Speaker 1: to ten. And if Philly loses, then they can't get
Speaker 1: the ten and the Cowboys are already with ten wins.
Speaker 1: The other thing that's out there to clinch the NFC
Speaker 1: East is there's a list of six teams, and if
Speaker 1: two of those six teams win on Sunday, the strength
Speaker 1: of victory, the Cowboys would clinch. So there is a
Speaker 1: possibility that they can clinch the NFC East before they
Speaker 1: even play Sunday night, because all these teams are playing
Speaker 1: before them, I do. I don't have who they're playing,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm looking at the teams that need to win. Okay,
Speaker 1: two of these six Chargers, Vikings, Patriots, Um Jacksonville, Vegas,
Speaker 1: or Atlanta. If they can get two of those teams
Speaker 1: to win, and Atlanta plays Detroit, Detroit's probably already won
Speaker 1: their quote, so is Atlanta though. Yeah, good point. Now
Speaker 1: the Patriots, I believe they end up playing Buffalo. So
Speaker 1: they play Buffalo. That's a difficult one. Okay, what are
Speaker 1: the other one? Vikings Vikings play the Rams. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a difficult one. Chargers, Chargers, Chargers are playing the Texans. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's one. Well there it is. I had written, and Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas.
Speaker 1: Where are they us Broncos? Oh so they all could lose? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think. Well, Teddy's not playing. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that how much that bows for the Blancos And
Speaker 1: basically Buffalo's got a bunch of guys missing, including our
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley. I heard, yeah, yeah, and he's being he's
Speaker 1: being cold, he's yeah, it's not his fault, it's the
Speaker 1: downs the right. So anyway, that kind of simplifies everything.
Speaker 1: But again, it's not just at this point to me,
Speaker 1: and I would imagine to this coaching staff, it's not
Speaker 1: just about winning the division, right, it's it's it's about
Speaker 1: getting a seed. Yeah. Right, I'm not even worried about
Speaker 1: you still, I'm not worried about it. You still have
Speaker 1: a chance, but it's no problems if he loses one.
Speaker 1: You know, when you get into a three or four
Speaker 1: way tie, you still got the best record right now
Speaker 1: in the NFC. That's what I'm going to keep it
Speaker 1: right at the conference and if you can just get
Speaker 1: the second seed, because I'm guessing the last thing you
Speaker 1: want if you're a lower seed is to have to
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay and play a playoff game the
Speaker 1: end of January, right, and put it off as long
Speaker 1: as you can. You know, if it's the NFC title game,
Speaker 1: then fine, that's what you got to do. But don't
Speaker 1: have to play them in the second round. Well, we
Speaker 1: pray for global warming, right, yeah, you have to maybe
Speaker 1: double off your prayers that way, Green Bay might be
Speaker 1: sunshine because what's the NFC title game? Will be the
Speaker 1: last weekend in January. Yes, so there's two weeks between
Speaker 1: that and the Super Bowl. But right now, right, yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: that's a very good point, excellent point. So yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: This is from SRMO Big cat O two on Twitter.
Speaker 1: He tweeted at me, I've only just started watching the
Speaker 1: mix Shots pod, but I gotta say, your genuine affection
Speaker 1: for Everson Walls really shines my heart, you see my
Speaker 1: heart genuine genuine effects. Ever, does it look like I
Speaker 1: don't like him? No? No, what I'm thinking is at
Speaker 1: least my genuine affection for Mickey does not shine. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he must, he must. He must not not like Wall,
Speaker 1: That's what it is. I don't not not like him.
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to be a punching bag. You're good size,
Speaker 1: all right. So I noticed a football team on the
Speaker 1: football field out the doors here at the start of day,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't the washing. Football team was a light
Speaker 1: practice going on. So he's still trying to make sure
Speaker 1: that he doesn't wear them out too soon. They'll go
Speaker 1: pads tomorrow, the last PAD day for the year. I
Speaker 1: think they got one more after If he uses one tomorrow,
Speaker 1: then he's got one more. They own is a scheduled
Speaker 1: longer practice tomorrow, so absolutely it's possible they might go
Speaker 1: ten more minutes to saw it. We saw Tyring he
Speaker 1: was doing rehab today, so he at points in that
Speaker 1: rehab he was moving pretty well, but you know he's
Speaker 1: still got that that bone spur is not going to
Speaker 1: dissolve on its own, right, so they're just trying to
Speaker 1: manage it. I saw A Pollard and DeMarcus Lawrence on
Speaker 1: the chords early, but it's like a walkthrough practice, so
Speaker 1: they looked like they were going to practice, and um
Speaker 1: they started the COVID designated for a return for Donovan Wilson,
Speaker 1: who's missed I think the last four games. T J Vasher,
Speaker 1: who's been out there working his butt off since the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season rehabbing. And how about this, because
Speaker 1: I just asked about this, Josh Ball. You remember Josh
Speaker 1: Balls round draft choice, big fellow, big six eight to tackle.
Speaker 1: They started him back too, So what I'm guessing with
Speaker 1: him maybe all three And I don't know if Wilson
Speaker 1: I think Wilson's kind of closer ready, But that's just
Speaker 1: more bodies to practice when you don't have to wear
Speaker 1: out the guys that are who are going to play.
Speaker 1: So it's like walk ons, you know, and it's yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's basically it's been like a red shirt year
Speaker 1: for josh Ball. And so three weeks left in the
Speaker 1: season and you have a three week window of opportunity
Speaker 1: for him to practice, right, so you see him out
Speaker 1: on the practice field for three weeks and then you
Speaker 1: can decide if you need you know, if he got
Speaker 1: somebody else on the offensive liner on the team that
Speaker 1: gets hurt, and you can say, okay, you get into
Speaker 1: the playoffs, well we'll put him on the fifty three
Speaker 1: and he can continue practicing. So which is and the
Speaker 1: reason I was thinking of Josh Ball it was on
Speaker 1: Tuesday when Jerry was talking about Tyrn Smith and he
Speaker 1: was asked, you know, is it time to replace him?
Speaker 1: And his answer was basically, I'll take all of Tyrn
Speaker 1: I can get for however much he's available, and then
Speaker 1: our job is to make sure we have a credible
Speaker 1: backup swing tackle and that has to be our priority.
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, well, they used the fourth round pick
Speaker 1: on this guy. You know it is a red shirt
Speaker 1: year for him, but you know they got to find
Speaker 1: out what he is before you say, okay, I got
Speaker 1: to get another tackle next year. And he was playing
Speaker 1: decently in training camp before he got hurt. So I'm
Speaker 1: guessing you know you don't give up on a fourth
Speaker 1: round pick. So it was funny that I was asking
Speaker 1: questions at him yesterday and then today they got him
Speaker 1: back on the practice field although they're but he won't, No, no,
Speaker 1: they won't, but they haven't forgotten about all season. He won't. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see what else. Um, you know, everybody else was
Speaker 1: out at practice for what they were going to do today.
Speaker 1: I would imagine they'll project some of those guys like
Speaker 1: Pollard limited, um. But yeah, all hands on deck. Parsons
Speaker 1: was working with the linebackers. They have to compensate now
Speaker 1: with the two coaches missing Matt Daniels assistant special teams coach,
Speaker 1: and John Fossil said something very interesting on on Monday,
Speaker 1: pointing out that you know, do you need help with
Speaker 1: special teams? And he goes yeah, and he goes, I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna use C. J. Goodwin because he prepares
Speaker 1: so well, so he can help he can help me
Speaker 1: with the preparation during the week. And then from the
Speaker 1: defensive line, Um, we just found out that leon Let's
Speaker 1: back in the building and he's actually he's actually gone
Speaker 1: to the last two games in the and he's been
Speaker 1: in the coach's box, so he can help out a
Speaker 1: little bit. They're having virtual meetings, so there's nothing you
Speaker 1: know in person. And then let's not forget dan Quinn
Speaker 1: is likely the off defensive line coach. Not only is
Speaker 1: the coordinator, but he's the defensive line coach. And if
Speaker 1: you watch the pot of practice we get to watch,
Speaker 1: he's rarely with the linebackers or the secondary he's working
Speaker 1: with the defensive line. So that'll continue. Just have to
Speaker 1: make compensation on on game day for Aiden dirty uh
Speaker 1: not being if they but there's a chance both of
Speaker 1: them could test back in in time. So anyway, that
Speaker 1: kind of gets you up on up to date on
Speaker 1: the roster, I believe. Okay, and how about when we
Speaker 1: come back here on Mick Shots, I've got an update
Speaker 1: on some of the Washington injury situations. Is Ron Riverez
Speaker 1: having his press conference? Okay, we speak here in the

Speaker 1: of voting going on yes, let me do Washington first,
Speaker 1: and then went to Pro Bowl voting, which it will
Speaker 1: be revealed tonight. Washington. Ron Rivera had his day after
Speaker 1: game press conference here within the last hour, and of
Speaker 1: course Washington dealing with numerous COVID issues that you know about,
Speaker 1: starting at the quarterback position where Garrett Gilbert got the
Speaker 1: start last night, just five days after being signed off
Speaker 1: the Patriots practice squad. They had a couple of significant
Speaker 1: injuries in their secondary in last night's game won their
Speaker 1: cornerback William Jackson, also the safety Landon Collins, who of
Speaker 1: course had a pick against the Cowboys and also had
Speaker 1: a pick last night. And Rivera says, yeah, Jackson, Jackson
Speaker 1: and Collins sounded encouraging, But they're getting MRIs on their injuries,
Speaker 1: and Jackson's was what they're described ascribing as a sprained achilles,
Speaker 1: So huh and uh. The fact they're getting MRIs would
Speaker 1: tell me, and they're playing and their schedule to play
Speaker 1: a game again on Sunday night would tell me they
Speaker 1: are likely probably going to be out for Sunday night,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you think? Okay, and get any COVID updates. They've
Speaker 1: got Cornelius Lucas tackle cleared protocols, and they should get
Speaker 1: more answers on others soon, including one of their quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: So there's or Kyle Allen. Yeah, how about Garrett Gilbert though,
Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy that you know and and
Speaker 1: think about Garrett Gilbert. What the what has happened with
Speaker 1: his career because of the pandemic right last last year,
Speaker 1: he would not have even been on it. If there
Speaker 1: was a normal year. He wouldn't have been eligible to
Speaker 1: be on a practice squad with Cleveland, which is where
Speaker 1: the Cowboys picked him off of last year, right only
Speaker 1: due to the relaxed practice squad rules due to COVID
Speaker 1: and so he got picked up and then he had
Speaker 1: his opportunity to start, which because of Andy Dalton and
Speaker 1: his COVID positive tests, it's the only game that he started. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the only game he started in the NFL. And now
Speaker 1: this year he's for fifteen weeks on the practice squad
Speaker 1: and he is then picked up five days before a
Speaker 1: start before well it was actually two days before the
Speaker 1: scheduled game, and then he got pushed back a couple
Speaker 1: of days. So he had and he won three days
Speaker 1: with the team because they explained last night he got
Speaker 1: to call Thursday night at home. Yeah, so he had to.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he was doing that. The story
Speaker 1: was his wife told him, man, your phone's blown up.
Speaker 1: You've had twenty five phone call, and that was you know,
Speaker 1: Washington trying to get a hold of him. And so
Speaker 1: so he probably doesn't get there till Friday, maybe gets
Speaker 1: to practice Friday Saturday. I would think he's probably first
Speaker 1: flight out Friday morning. He got there. Yeah, quickly, good,
Speaker 1: quick as he could. You know. The news broke on Friday,
Speaker 1: right before we were taping the Mike McCarthy Show, and
Speaker 1: so I told Mike, I said, hey, Washington just signed
Speaker 1: Gary Gilbert off the Patriots practice one. His first reaction was, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, he can go right in there and
Speaker 1: play because he's been with that staff before, he was
Speaker 1: at Carolina Lina before, and so you know, and you
Speaker 1: think of it in his mindset as he's on the
Speaker 1: Patriots practice squad this season, well, what if there was
Speaker 1: a COVID outbreak elsewhere? He was probably in his mind thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: I could get picked up by another team. Okay, and
Speaker 1: in all likelihood, one of those teams would be a
Speaker 1: team that I've been with before, which would be about
Speaker 1: eight teams in the league, you know. And if they
Speaker 1: could have protected them, they couldn't protect him. It was
Speaker 1: almost every time he threw a ball if it wasn't
Speaker 1: an immediate dump offers. Well, that gets back to their
Speaker 1: injury and COVID issues. On their offensive line, they only
Speaker 1: had two starters. They're they're the left side of the
Speaker 1: line where they're basically they're regular starters, but Brandon Sheriff
Speaker 1: was out, and you know, their center, Neville Gallimore took
Speaker 1: care of the center the week before Land was Larson
Speaker 1: Tyler Larson's and uh. And then their right tackle, Cornelius
Speaker 1: Lucas was out too, and so they were missing three
Speaker 1: starters on their and some of those guys weren't really starters.
Speaker 1: They were phill ins for guys that they had lost
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. They were like the guys off
Speaker 1: the street. Yeah. So, and then they lost their running
Speaker 1: back to last night's game. Antonio Gibson got right too.
Speaker 1: So anyway, and they got a play on a Gibson
Speaker 1: is a beast man. I don't know if I wanted
Speaker 1: them out there. He gives them a chance. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: definitely gives anybody a chance. All right. And so Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl votingild tonight. I think there's several candidates off this team,
Speaker 1: so off the top of my head, obviously Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 1: He was one of the top five vote getters. Um,
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, I thought that was ever what do you think?
Speaker 1: Maybe it is just half an eat. I gotta go
Speaker 1: with Zack Martin. Yeah, yeah, there he goes. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was approved. Okay, Um, one of the running backs will
Speaker 1: make it, and it Poller's not I think as a
Speaker 1: special team's contributor. Maybe kickoff return for kickoff. And now
Speaker 1: they already got Jachim Grant. Oh that's right. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many you get there? Um, No, Vandy Gregory.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he played enough. How many games
Speaker 1: did he miss? Three? He missed the opener and then
Speaker 1: he missed four I think four games. And DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 1: hadn't played in right, Yeah, so did I say Michael Parsons? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we would, you know, you know who should have an opportunity.
Speaker 1: I don't know if people will recognize it as jay
Speaker 1: Ron Curves. He's at a heck of a year. That's
Speaker 1: a very good one. Yeah, that's a very good one.
Speaker 1: But no ding from Chris. And here's one that that
Speaker 1: might This one might sneak up if the people, like
Speaker 1: the coaches and players are voting. Um, and I just
Speaker 1: want to make sure I can get this right. Um.
Speaker 1: Brian Anger, he's leading. Yeah, man, he's leading the limit
Speaker 1: uh in net punting and his net he's been having
Speaker 1: some duels with forty three three and if he keeps
Speaker 1: up at that pace, he's going to set the Cowboys
Speaker 1: single season record. He's also averaging forty forty eight that
Speaker 1: has him sixth now in the league. But if anybody
Speaker 1: was watching on Sunday, he put five punts fair caught
Speaker 1: inside the ten dealing with that win. Right, So he's
Speaker 1: very quietly had one heck of a year. Um and
Speaker 1: you know three did they calculate like return yarder or anything?
Speaker 1: I don't, Well, that's perfect, that's part of the Okay,
Speaker 1: that's part of the net. And and it's like Fossil
Speaker 1: was saying, we don't care about gross punting. We worry
Speaker 1: about net, and we worry about how much is returned.
Speaker 1: So it looks like return yards for him is one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four. And I'm just looking real quickly
Speaker 1: here for guys that had like fifty or more punts,
Speaker 1: and it's not in order. I just gotta scan it.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't look like anybody's had less than one
Speaker 1: fifty four with that many punts. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you got to consider him. Okay, who who are your
Speaker 1: three NFC quarterback quarterbacks? Well it's gonna be Rogers, probably Stafford,
Speaker 1: I think, so Brady considered Brady. Yeah, but but Brady's
Speaker 1: down here, we're deck. I was just looking at at
Speaker 1: the at their rating their rating points. Okay, if you
Speaker 1: look at passing yards, Brady has more passing youghts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: more touchdowns too, if I'm not miss taking. Oh does
Speaker 1: Mahomes out touchdown? He has more touchdowns. But they were
Speaker 1: talking a NFC. Yeah, Brady's got four thousand, three hundred
Speaker 1: and forty eight yards passing, thirty six touchdowns, eleven interceptions.
Speaker 1: How many touchdowns thirty six? Think he might make it?
Speaker 1: I think he might make it. Three um, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think that there's anybody else hits played. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you got you have Brady, Rogers and Stafford and
Speaker 1: anything who knows something that they might have voted for
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. And then let's let's just to be fair.
Speaker 1: Cousins has been bawling. He really has. What was the
Speaker 1: stat the other night he had got more touchdown passes
Speaker 1: and like eight straight wes. He's been bawling. Guys. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: as long as he doesn't play at night nine and
Speaker 1: they actually Gooffalo was yes, and it's been play well.
Speaker 1: Cousins has twenty nine touchdown passes. Six interceptions. That's not
Speaker 1: bad at all, not at all, and Garoppolos at eighteen
Speaker 1: and eight interceptions. Rogers is only thrown three interseven ye
Speaker 1: have Dack's dak Is twenty five touchdowns, ten interceptions bad.
Speaker 1: His quarterback rating now is ninety eight point one. I
Speaker 1: think it topped out at one. Fo. Okay, what NFC
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the rating? What are the top five NFC? Rogers, Stafford, Murray, Cousins, Garoppolo,
Speaker 1: Brady and Wilson, and then Dakka that's their quarterback rating. Um.
Speaker 1: I was just trying to see the touchdowns, So I said,
Speaker 1: Rogers got thirty, Stafford's got thirty five, I've Brady's got
Speaker 1: thirty six, Cousins twenty nine, and then dak with twenty five.
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll make it. M I don't think
Speaker 1: he will. And I think they're looking for excuses all
Speaker 1: the time anyway too. You know, anyone with a stall
Speaker 1: in the helmet, I think that they. I know the
Speaker 1: one I was going to bring up, what about Schultz?
Speaker 1: I was just wondering that myself. NFC as a tight end.
Speaker 1: They've got them. I'll make sure they don't have targets here.
Speaker 1: Before I receptions. Uh, he's tips. He's tied for sixteenth
Speaker 1: with sixty one catches amongst tight ends. No, no, overall,
Speaker 1: just hang on, let me look for tight ends. Yeah, Kittle,
Speaker 1: Kittle has sixty three, okay, and the only tighten Schultz has.
Speaker 1: How many sixty one? Sixty one? Kittle hasty three with
Speaker 1: six touchdowns and He's got sixty one with five touchdowns.
Speaker 1: How many yards for both of them? Six to fifty
Speaker 1: one for Schultz and Kittle eight fifty. What happened to
Speaker 1: pitts m Well, he's a rookie nineteenth fifty eight catches,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and forty seven yards, one touchdown, that's all.
Speaker 1: Schultz is right in there, so he's kind of in there.
Speaker 1: If they look at stats, right, I think I think
Speaker 1: they'll look at the thing about the Cowboys offense. They
Speaker 1: always want to make excuses for the system itself. Well,
Speaker 1: the system, you know, that's why Dak is doing this,
Speaker 1: and that's why Schultz is catching all these passes because
Speaker 1: of the system. So that's what they're going to base
Speaker 1: it on. And you know there's only two non wide
Speaker 1: receivers ahead of him in receptions. Leonard Fournette has sixty
Speaker 1: nine and then Kittle with sixty three and then show
Speaker 1: they had that many. Yeah. Oh they dumped the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definite help your your QB rating, H Brady H. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's you know, he's been productive in
Speaker 1: big games. It's not like he's got padded catches. And
Speaker 1: they are going to play the game this year in Vegas.
Speaker 1: They are playing it. Yeah, there is Okay, so there
Speaker 1: will be alternates getting into that's true. Yeah, so maybe
Speaker 1: Zeke makes us an alternate. I mean bad door gets
Speaker 1: wide open for wide receivers. I mean and you name it.
Speaker 1: You know what. Somebody was telling me about votes and
Speaker 1: a lot of time and we talked about it. I
Speaker 1: think I don't know if you it was here yesterday
Speaker 1: or day before the Cowboys that was yesterday. That was
Speaker 1: yesterday about how the fans had the Cowboy fans because
Speaker 1: you have to register, like which team or whatever, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans had the second most votes behind the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: I think that's what it was. Let me throw this
Speaker 1: out there. On wide receivers, I'm just looking through the
Speaker 1: list of wide receivers. I'm just going by receptions here,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup I'm just Okay, so NFC NFC wide receivers,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup has one hundred and twenty two receptions fourteen touchdowns. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right. Chris Godwin, who's now hurt, ninety eight catches
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, that's two. Davante Adams is third ninety six
Speaker 1: catches eight touchdowns. Justin. Jefferson is fourth with eighty nine
Speaker 1: catches nine touchdowns, and then the next NFC guy is
Speaker 1: DJ Moore at seventy eight catches four touchdowns. That's fifth,
Speaker 1: and then sixth is CD at seventy catches and six touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So CD's not far off when you just look at FC. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of AFC and CD is seventeenth in
Speaker 1: the league in receptions with seventy and so he's sixth
Speaker 1: among NFC. So you got eleven AFC wide receivers in there,
Speaker 1: or or just receivers tightens and you know who had
Speaker 1: a lot of votes for center the honest he did? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did he? I think he might have been the leading
Speaker 1: He was up I don't know if he finished there,
Speaker 1: but he was he was up there. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: What team does he play for? Cowboy America's team? Who
Speaker 1: does a lot of voting America America's fans. There you go.

Speaker 1: game after season. Look the guy they played Vandy the
Speaker 1: first the guy up. What's the coach's name? Who drink? Drink? Yeah? Wow,
Speaker 1: that's name. The rest I was gonna say that drink.
Speaker 1: You don't know coach. No, I don't know you drink.
Speaker 1: You should know your SEC. Are you happy you went
Speaker 1: to the SEC? Yes, because if they were in if
Speaker 1: they were in the SEC when he was there, no
Speaker 1: Big Eight, I like you guys in the Big Eight?
Speaker 1: Yeah that were good. Yeah, Cordell Stewart. They made it
Speaker 1: to the SEC championship game early on. Oh my bad,
Speaker 1: never made number fifteen. Right? That Phil's right. I used
Speaker 1: to like Missouri. Poor guy had to play as a
Speaker 1: fresh one. Pete Woods was the senior starter and got hurt.
Speaker 1: This was the first year I covered him for the
Speaker 1: Columbia Tribune. Got hurt in the first game, and he
Speaker 1: became the first black starting quarterback for the Remember great
Speaker 1: baseball player playing for Seattle, UM the Mariners. There was
Speaker 1: somebody else. He went to Baltimore, but uh left field,
Speaker 1: and I remember when he was coming out he got
Speaker 1: it was like, well, he can't hit home runs, he
Speaker 1: doesn't have any power. I said, yeah, but he can
Speaker 1: hit for three hundred, and he did, especially when he
Speaker 1: was with ball. He grew up in south West Illinois, UM,
Speaker 1: same thing where I think it was where Western Illinois Universe,
Speaker 1: not Charleston, I can't remember. Okay, we're moving on. Let's
Speaker 1: move on. You need your Missouri history. It's game day.
Speaker 1: I wanted to see by the interceptions. I mean, let's
Speaker 1: call out the interceptions for for the Pro bowlers, the
Speaker 1: potential Pro bowlers. You're just moving on from my d
Speaker 1: you wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about
Speaker 1: whatever it is I want. No, no, no, let's go
Speaker 1: with you. Let's see. Well, I gotta look it up here,
Speaker 1: dig digs with I think Diggs leads, You think yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. So you want NFC or NFL, NFC
Speaker 1: and NFL. Diggs leads the NFC with ten. Next is
Speaker 1: I can't say it or you Wiri Detroit with six. Wow,
Speaker 1: Piston with I mean Piston align with so si the
Speaker 1: digs just grow up to be cornerbacks because the third
Speaker 1: guy is Diggs Seattle with five. Then not right? I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I was like, oh coege job can't
Speaker 1: be well. No. I even thought that last night. I
Speaker 1: thought maybe McKinney is next with five, and then Murphy.
Speaker 1: There is no one close. Xavier McKinney is safe, yes,
Speaker 1: and then Murphy Arizona four, and then by the way,
Speaker 1: tied for sixth with three is Jordan Lewis and Anthony Brown. Wow,
Speaker 1: your boy know about it? What about afc um? So
Speaker 1: I'll do NFL Diggs's first, uh, Jackson New England with seven, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then six with ou Ari and then Poyer Simmons digs,
Speaker 1: uh Bayard, Davis McKinney with five. No, Davis Howard? Is
Speaker 1: it Davis Howard? Did I say his name right from
Speaker 1: the Dolphins because he led it last year? If I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken, Oh, Howard Howard, He's ninth with UH four.
Speaker 1: So here's what I was thinking, because I was making
Speaker 1: a joking to myself last night, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if Diggs gets his twelfth or eleven interception or whatever
Speaker 1: in seventeen games, I'm thinking it on should be an asterisk,
Speaker 1: right right, because he's seventeen game. If he did, if
Speaker 1: he does it on his seventeenth game, if he gets
Speaker 1: it in sixteen, if he gets in sixteen, it's cool.
Speaker 1: We're good. Then I started thinking, okay, well, when I
Speaker 1: got mine, I beat mel against Philly, and Mel's was
Speaker 1: in fourteen games. Let me get there, getting there? So okay,
Speaker 1: I got mine in week fifteen against Philadelphia because Week
Speaker 1: sixteen we played in New Jersey, freaking thirteen degrees win chill.
Speaker 1: I'll never forget that, right, And they end up making
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. So I guess with my I should
Speaker 1: have an asterisk as well, because you played one more.
Speaker 1: I played one more, well, one more, because two more
Speaker 1: games I got them fifteen exactly. So it all goes
Speaker 1: back to mel renfro Asters nineteen sixty nine, fourteen games,
Speaker 1: ten picks and they ain't nobody throwing the ball. I
Speaker 1: ain't nobody throwing the ball, and this guy gets ten
Speaker 1: picks in nineteen sixty nine. I believe it was. I
Speaker 1: just said all that just to give him pops. No
Speaker 1: one mentions his name, nobody's gonna yell Joe Namath and
Speaker 1: Joe Namath numbers in sixty nine were pretty pedestrians. Yeah,
Speaker 1: compared to what Diggs is facing, and even compared to
Speaker 1: what I was facing when I played Dorset, Riggs, Riggins,
Speaker 1: Peyton saying those guys, Billy Sims, those guys were the stars,
Speaker 1: George Rodgers, they were the star. So we weren't passing
Speaker 1: the ball much back then either. But if you look
Speaker 1: at mel Renfro nineteen sixty nine, fourteen games, ten picks,
Speaker 1: that is pretty dog on impressive. So I said that
Speaker 1: to say that, and also right now, thirty one picks right,
Speaker 1: thirty one? Is it? Turnovers? A thirty one interception takeaway?
Speaker 1: Twenty three interceptions for the Cowboys. Oh they can't catch us, No,
Speaker 1: they can't catch us. As you had. We had thirty
Speaker 1: seven picks alone in in eighty five, there were like
Speaker 1: fifty something takeaway. Yeah. Yeah, See I only looked at
Speaker 1: interceptions and I didn't even look at just turnovers themselves,
Speaker 1: takeaways themselves. So yeah, at thirty seven in nineteen eighty one,
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be tough to beat. Would you like
Speaker 1: Joe Naiman's numbers from nineteen sixty nine, I would love them, Okay.
Speaker 1: In fourteen game season, they went ten and four. His
Speaker 1: completion percentage, what do you think it was? I bet
Speaker 1: it was about fifty six percent? Try fifty one percent. Okay.
Speaker 1: He threw for two thousand and seven hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: four yards. He had nineteen nineteen touchdowns, tenceptions, try seventeen
Speaker 1: intersept Oh my god, the great jo and he's in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Uh dude, you can look at
Speaker 1: you could look at Greasie's numbers and still be a
Speaker 1: little bit surprised, no doubt, as they hold him and
Speaker 1: he he got into He got in the Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame because he won one game, one game the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: the first one for the AFL'L. Greasie's numbers aren't calling
Speaker 1: up for some reason. There's a Wi Fi issue apparently. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the time, they can't go that low nine. I can't
Speaker 1: get it back. Yeah, they can't touch. But that's my thing, though, Mero,
Speaker 1: when you just think about that year, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Tom Lager was just in heaven having a guy like
Speaker 1: that and being a fellow dB. I'm sure, Tom, And yeah,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, Adelie was there at that time.
Speaker 1: Have you come yet in sixty nine maybe seventy because
Speaker 1: it was with the Super Bowl team. Yeah. Would you
Speaker 1: like to end with a quote from Michael Parsons, who
Speaker 1: met with the media as we share Michael Parsons on
Speaker 1: getting after quarterbacks with DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory, Neville Gallimore,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Quote, We're a lion pack. Now there is
Speaker 1: no more lone lion. It's the pride. Now everybody has
Speaker 1: got to get a piece of the gazelle. I love

Speaker 1: need to write that down. Man. That's that's pretty good, bro, Right,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I can't find anything that's pretty good.

Speaker 1: just part of his DNA. I mean, it's just he's
Speaker 1: he says it well, and he says it colorfully. It's
Speaker 1: not like he rehearses it right. It's like, okay, now
Speaker 1: I would have to that's too good. He would have
Speaker 1: to The lion always eats because they are hungry. What
Speaker 1: was it, the lions always hungry? And it's true right
Speaker 1: everything he says, there's no lie and we're a lion pack.
Speaker 1: Now there is no more lone lion. It's the pride.
Speaker 1: Now everybody has got to get a piece of the
Speaker 1: gazelle so the pride can go on. M there you go,
