How are you doing? Guys? 10 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: I feel a little egotistical now since you kind of 11 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: all the out on my picture. I might change it now. 12 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: Tomorrow you might see something else. Just just can't help 13 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: noticing it over your shoulder there. I still say it 14 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: looks a lot like Larry Brown. But you say, did 15 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: not deal. These are the old uh Road Blue jerseys, 16 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: The old Road blue jerseys. Larry Brown knows nothing about 17 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: those are those the ones that had that's the one 18 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: that had the jinks on them. But we did win 19 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: that game, all right. I didn't believe in that well, 20 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: judging by the New Road Blue Jerseys on Sunday night. 21 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: It looks like the Jinks is back. Maybe maybe and 22 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: get back in the whole whites at noon Sunday against 23 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. What do you say, Nikki? Or maybe 24 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: put them in the whites without names and numbers so 25 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: that the opponent doesn't know who's out there. Right Well, uh, 26 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: cowboys on the practice field, back to work today. We 27 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: heard Mike McCarthy this morning. That's where we'll kick things off. 28 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: I've been studying the Atlanta Falcons this morning. In fact, 29 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: just got off the elliptical about an hour ago and 30 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: watch the entire game, the condensed version and not the 31 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: three hour version against the Seahawks. I got some thoughts 32 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: on that and how in the NFL the little things 33 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: matter so much, which might be once again what the 34 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: coaches talking to his team about this morning when they reconvened. 35 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 1: But Mickey, what's your take on how things are going 36 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: out there at the start to day. Well, there seems 37 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: to be a lot of roster juggling going on, a 38 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: lot of movement to the injured reserve, to the practice squad, 39 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: to the fifty three man roster, to talk into guys 40 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: that could be on the fifty three man roster. So yeah, 41 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts out here after the rash 42 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: of injuries and maybe the you know, we knew about 43 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: Layton Vandersch probably out eight weeks, had surgery to repair 44 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: the fractured collar bone. You know, we knew Lell Collins 45 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: was on injured reserve already, and you know, I would 46 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: imagine the hope is he only has to miss the 47 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: mandatory three games with his hip injury. We knew that 48 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin was going on injured reserve, we'll have surgery 49 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: to repair a torn acl. He's basically done for the season. 50 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: But what we didn't know and found out today was 51 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: that Sean Lee, the reason he's on injured reserve not 52 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: trying to rehab a sports hernia. But last week he 53 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: had surgery to repair the sports hernia and he's likely 54 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: out going to miss six weeks, so five more after 55 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: this weeks or after the first week of the season. 56 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: So so that's somewhat concerning because you were hoping that 57 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: Shawn Lee would be back, you know, kind of grit 58 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: your teeth two more games and then he'd be back 59 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: on the field. But not so much so I think 60 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys understand, and also with cam Irving sprained mcl 61 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: initially we were here in two to four, but now 62 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said four to six, so the Cowboys and 63 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: he's so they basically put him on injured reserve to 64 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: create another roster spot. And now they're searching for offensive 65 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: tackles to help with the depth on this team since 66 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: they had to start an undrafted rookie free agent at 67 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: nothing against undrafted rookie free agents. But I just don't 68 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: want that guy at right tackled too long. So we'll 69 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: see where this goes here in the next couple of days. 70 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: What the hell's were with it? I know when I 71 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: was getting ready, I knew I was kind of stepping 72 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: on it right now. That's a that's a great point. Everson. Well, 73 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: you know when you talk about how you were talking 74 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: still correct? Are we talking still? Terence still? Yes? Tern 75 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: still yeah. You know, when you look at how he played, uh, 76 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: he did give up a very untimely sack that kind 77 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: of led to out themyes for more than one drive. 78 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: But when you when you think about the you know, 79 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: the job that he did overall, I thought it was 80 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: it was as good as anyone else on that offensive line. 81 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: Let's be real, guys. The second half of that game. 82 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: First of all, Da, Dak and Zeke were just bawling. 83 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: I mean, the whole offense was just clicking on on 84 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: on all cylinders. And then in the second half the 85 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: Rams turned it up. And when they turned it up, 86 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: I would call several times in the second half, especially 87 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: on key third downs, I couldn't even see Dak in 88 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: the pocket. He was totally surrounded by Rams and he 89 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: had no way to step into any of his throws. 90 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: That was not just still, that was that entire Rams 91 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: defensive line coming to play. I don't know what adjustments 92 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: they made, whether it was an attitude adjustment or whether 93 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: it was something on paper, but they were a different 94 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: defensive line in the second half of that game, you 95 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: know everything. I'm glad you pointed that out because there's 96 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: some people out there that we're putting this loss on 97 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: Dak because he can't win close games. It's like, did 98 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: you watch the game? Did you really watch what was 99 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: going on in the pocket? On how many times he 100 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: was getting hit and had to move and couldn't step 101 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: up in the pocket. I don't understand folks sometimes, And 102 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: it was I mean, if you watched, it was fairly 103 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: obvious what was happening, especially in the second half when 104 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: they only kicked the field goal, you know, and the 105 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: Rams didn't light it up the second half either. They 106 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: scored one touchdown. Will that happened to be enough because 107 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys only kicked the field goal. If the Cowboys 108 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: pick up that, you know, if Ans and Butts right, 109 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,119 Speaker 1: if they pick up the first down, maybe they score 110 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: a touchdown there instead of coming away with no points 111 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: on that fourth and three. So yeah, that offensive line struggled, 112 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: and that's one of the reasons why they ended up 113 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: signing Alex light off the Arizona practice squad. He's a 114 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: guy that's been in the league three years. Started played 115 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: thirteen games for Green Bay one hundred and fifty one 116 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: snaps in twenty nineteen, so and had played three games 117 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: as a rookie, so he's got a little bit of experience. 118 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: He was how about this, So he had been on 119 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: the Green Bay roster. They released him, signed him uh 120 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: to the practice squad, released him on September tenth. Arizona 121 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: signs them to the practice squad on September fourteenth, and 122 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys signed him to the fifty three on September fifteenth, 123 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: So I hope he didn't move, you know, for one day. 124 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: So he's got a least a little you know why 125 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys signed him then, But you know why the 126 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys signed him then? Why is that? Because they've got 127 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: it's the track, because they've had him before. This coaching 128 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: staffs had him before Green Bay, Yes, absolutely, and they're 129 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: familiar with them twenty eighteen Joe Philibin the offensive line coach, 130 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: and so yeah, so they're familiar with him and that 131 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: that happened so often that and so they're they're taking 132 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: a flyer on him. They've had him before, they've got 133 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: some product knowledge there. But it's it's it's a great 134 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: example of there's there's not much out there. I mean, 135 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: you gotta go with what you have. And you got 136 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: to hope that Lyle Collins gets back pretty soon well. 137 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: And word is that they were also meeting today with 138 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: Jared veld Here, a veteran offensive tackle ten years in 139 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: the league, and he actually it played he started one 140 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen of the one hundred and twenty games 141 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: that he's played in the league, and mostly at right tackle, 142 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: and he was last with the Packers in twenty nineteen, 143 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: and here's his track record Oakland, Arizona, Denver, New England, 144 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: and then Green Bay and at New England he ended 145 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: up retiring and then he had second thoughts and towards 146 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: the end of the season he unretired after the Patriots 147 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: released him and the Packers signed him off the retired list, 148 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: and he played had two starts at the end of 149 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: the season after Bulaga got hurt. So Mike would have 150 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: seen him if I'm sure he was intimately watching the 151 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Packers games, and so he would have at least seen 152 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: him play. So, as I said, a lot of moving parts. 153 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: They also signed a linebacker with Shard Smith off the 154 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: Bears practice squad and undrafted a rookie. They're just looking 155 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: for depth, you know. When we were sitting there watching 156 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: the person of practice, we get to see it was 157 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: a lonely situation over there at the linebacker spot. I 158 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: think there was five of them, and one of them 159 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: was on the practice squad, so didn't have a whole 160 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: lot of depth at the linebacker spot. And oh, one 161 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: more move and we probably figured this was coming. Sooner 162 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: than later. They signed Brandon Card from the practice squad 163 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: onto the fifty three man roster. There you go. Well, 164 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: I tell you what, guys, this is my take on it. 165 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: As far as the offensive lineman a concerned You can 166 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: sign who you want to sign. You have some amazing 167 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: defensive lineman in this league that we are going to 168 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: be going up against. There are times when you can 169 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: see our quarterbacks sitting in the pocket, almost like he's 170 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: a sitting duck. You can see as a coach when 171 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: the momentum of the game is changing just a bit 172 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: and you need to adapt to that. To me, when 173 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback like Dak who's so mobile, there 174 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: were times when he barely escaped with his life and 175 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: made something extremely positive out of those plays when the 176 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: pressure was all in his face, I just think we 177 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: are missing the vote when we're not using all of 178 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: his talents. We ran into the same thing last year. 179 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: I think Dak Prescott is a very good quarterback in 180 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: the pocket and on the run. I have always believed 181 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: that we become predictable by just sitting him back in 182 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: the pocket and admiring how well he hits a cooper 183 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: or how well he hits galloped, how well he is 184 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: to tight end. I think we need to start moving 185 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: the pocket for this guy. Man, you know what's wrong 186 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: with bootlegs? What's wrong with using this stud that? We 187 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: have this huge quarterback who when he was in college 188 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: ran over the entire University of Alabama football team? What 189 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: is wrong with using him in a very diverse manner manners? 190 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: You have Lamar Jackson's as he's just a player to himself, 191 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: but you don't have to be Lamar Jackson to be 192 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: able to do a rollout, ought to do a bootleg, 193 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: ought to be accurate while moving the pocket. It's just 194 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: so many things I think we're missing album. When it 195 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: comes to Dak, soever said, what other NFL quarterback would 196 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: you most compare Dak skill set to muh, This is 197 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: gonna sound extremely arrogant because he's not nearly as accurate 198 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: as who I'm about to bring up. But in regards 199 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: to his physical talent and the way he throws a ball. 200 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Robbers, I think that can throw any 201 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: paths he wants to throw. That's funny. I was I 202 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: was thinking he that was the answer. Aaron Rodgers, because 203 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: if you think about it, Green Bay rolls him out 204 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: quite a bit or they get him to throw the 205 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: ball on the run on purpose, by the way, And 206 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: you know when we watched you know, Everson, when we 207 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: watched training camp practices, you know a lot of the 208 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: drills they did before practice with the quarterback was this 209 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: this kind of drill where you had to the quarterback 210 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: had to move, move, move in and out of the pylons, 211 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: and then throw on the run into the net and 212 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: hit one of the three targets. And I said, okay, 213 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: so they're kind of getting him used to throwing on 214 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: the run. What it feels like to move around in 215 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: the pocket and not be stationary. And I thought, you know, okay, 216 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: here's what's gonna happen. You know, when they used a 217 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: lot of boots last year, get him out of the 218 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: pocket and throw to the tight end. I don't know 219 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: if losing Jarwin caused that to maybe not take place 220 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: as much in the game against the Rams, but that 221 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: had been a staple in this offense with Kellen Moore 222 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: of bootlegs and if there's nothing there, just take off 223 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: and run. So so be interesting to see what's going 224 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: on because I think they got a taste of, you know, 225 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: the possibility that this offensive line might not be what 226 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: they think it is at this point in the season. 227 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: Oh and one other note, j Jordan Lewis, actually this 228 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: was the first time he took part in drills in practice. 229 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: The last week he was basically doing resistance chord kind 230 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: of conditioning stype stuff, but this was the first time 231 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: he actually was taking part in the drills that we 232 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: were able to watch. And Randy Gregory must have passed 233 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: all his COVID nineteen tests because he was out on 234 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: the field doing conditioning work with the trainers. So you know, 235 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: he's still got five weeks to go. It was a 236 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: a temporary reinstatement and he couldn't he had to miss 237 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: six weeks, but he's allowed to do conditioning work, individual 238 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: training drills along with sit in on team meetings. So 239 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: it looks like his clocks starting on his way to 240 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: being ready to go after those six week period. And 241 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: he looked good too, by the way, didn't look like 242 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: remember you know, he always looked like he needed to 243 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: eat more. Right when he got here, he was, you know, 244 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: like two hundred and thirty five forty pounds. But he 245 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: looks good so and judging from the tweet when he 246 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: got conditionally reinstated a pretty happy camper and was thanking 247 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people who helped him get back 248 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: to this stage of the game. And if he can 249 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: come back to do anything anything romotely close to what 250 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: Alden Smith did, the Cowboys will hit another home run 251 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: with this guy. All Right, we're just getting started on 252 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: this edition of mix Shots. I've got my thoughts on 253 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: what I saw from the Falcons against the Seahawks, a 254 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: loss in their season opener.

Tell you what I've done Yesterday. 304 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: I was at the Tostito's Championship Plaza at the Star 305 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: in Presco doing a live shot at six o'clock, and 306 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of activity at the Star'll you have 307 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: looks like a youth league flag football teams. They'll use 308 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: the football field there and they'll conduct their practices there. 309 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: You've got cheerleading, youth cheerleaders that are there on the 310 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: practice field there. They serve it as a practice field 311 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: basically right there by the hotel. And you couldn't tell 312 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: we're in a pandemic if everyone is socially distanced. I 313 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: will say that it's not like they're violating anything. You're 314 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: supposed to be if you're around people supposed to be 315 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: outside and if you're not active, they've got mask on 316 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: and stuff. But it feels good that there are people 317 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: out and about around the Star. So, Bill, did you 318 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: figure out what? So glad we're getting back to normal? Bill? 319 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: Have you figured out twenty five percent of the Cowboys 320 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: capacity will be that the be allowed in since Mike capacity, 321 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: is it not? It's like ninety ninety two somewhere in there. Yeah, Okay, 322 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: give me that twenty five percent. Twenty five percent of 323 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: eighty thousand is twenty thousand, yes, and twenty five percent 324 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: of one hundred thousand is twenty twenty five thousand, so five, okay, 325 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: very good, twenty two five. And I read that you're 326 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: I read that the uh, the the attendance of people 327 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: sitting in the suites won't won't count against that twenty 328 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: five percent, Like that's a private club area. I assume 329 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: that the suites were closed. They are open, not the 330 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: bunker suites now, but the ones on the you know, 331 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: top of the field level, second level, third level, fourth level, 332 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: whatever that they're they're good to go. So that does 333 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: not count. That does not count as stadium attendance. That's 334 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: what I read from one of those representatives that's kind 335 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: of in charge of this whole deal out at the stadium. 336 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 1: So that's like their private homes. It's y's their weekend 337 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: getaway home, and they don't have that they own. And 338 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: I think if and assuming the windows are closed or whatever, 339 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: and you're inside the suite, then uh, you know, social 340 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: distancing is up to you. M okay. I think one 341 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: of the interesting things is, okay, say they got twenty 342 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: two thousan five hundred people in there, is where are 343 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: they going to be seated? Because I've been to high 344 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: school games at AT and T Stadium where they don't 345 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: even open the upper deck, whereas the lower bowl basically 346 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: and people are pretty a lot, especially in the end zones, 347 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: they'll be socially distanced. Even though that it wasn't socially distanced, 348 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: wasn't the thing then, It's just that was the number 349 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: of people that they had, and people just would like 350 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: to have a elbow room whatever. You know, they were 351 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: just watching the games. I wonder how many you can 352 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: fit in the lower bowl. Now that's not and be 353 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: in pods. It's gonna be in pods. And you know what, 354 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: when they sent out the notice that they were like 355 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: they had completed the sales to the season ticket holders 356 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: get they had first DIBs on as many as six tickets, 357 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: but you had to keep your six person party in 358 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: a pod. Then they put on single game tickets and 359 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: for this game, when I clicked on it, they were 360 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: selling the four hundred level tickets for eighty nine dollars 361 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: for a single game. So wow, I would imagine you've 362 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: got to sit in the seats you buy. There's no 363 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: just moving around and you know, sit where you want. 364 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: So they had supposedly reading this article and by the way, 365 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: if anybody is thinking of going to the game or 366 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: they are going to the game, check out the Dallas 367 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: Morning News. It was a pretty extensive description of what 368 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: game day would look like. And uh, you know, the entrances, 369 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: how many entrances they'll they'll be able to use to 370 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: keep the crowd from lining up, and the fact that 371 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: if they you know, if you want to buy food, 372 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: it's going to be in prepackaged containers, and there's going 373 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 1: to be actually people walking security walking through the stadium. 374 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: And make sure this isn't like NASCAR when they had 375 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: the race in Fort Worth and people had to wear 376 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: a mask and they wore it to get in, and 377 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: then then they were in, they took them off, and 378 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: they're going to be reminders that you've got to keep 379 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: your mask on while you're watching the game. Well not 380 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: just that, you know, when you're dealing with the cowboy legends, 381 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm one of them. Uh, that entire program was dismantled 382 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: for this season. So you're not siting autographs before the game. Uh. 383 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: If I signed autographs before the game, it would be 384 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: at some outdoor tailgate. But in regards to going around 385 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: and visiting, uh, suits and things of that nature now 386 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: that is off limits. That has been discontinued for this season. 387 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: And I think I read where there wouldn't be any 388 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: tailgating either. Yeah, well, thanks a lot. I said, I'm 389 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: asking for a raise for today. Can I start? Can 390 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: I renegotiate my cot? As I told somebody on Twitter 391 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: when they complained about something, I said, welcome to twenty twenty, baby, 392 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: that's it. Well, it is going to be interesting to 393 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: see what it looks like with fans in the stands. 394 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: And take the Mike McCarthy show last night, and right 395 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: off the bat, I said it. You know, it's gonna 396 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: be kind of strange. You're actually gonna have fans in 397 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: the stands on Sunday. Well, you know, he remarked about 398 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: how strange it was in LA with no no fans. 399 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: He said, then there wasn't as much, uh the piped 400 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: in noise, cheering fan stuff that he was anticipating, and 401 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: was almost sounded like it was eerily quiet. And you know, 402 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: and even um, I was told by some of the 403 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: people in house that were there covering the game, uh, 404 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: Nick Eatman, uh, and even the PR guys they weren't 405 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: in the press box. They they they sequestered them in 406 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: a suite. So the PR guys were in a suite 407 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: and Nick was in a suite all by himself. Uh, 408 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: and it was quiet. He said, he couldn't hardly hear anything. 409 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: It was the weirdest way to be able to cover 410 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: a game because he didn't even have volume to listen 411 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: to the TV broadcast. So, yeah, it's a different thing. 412 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: So my question on that is is how much of 413 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: the sound that we are hearing on the television broadcast 414 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: is the actual sound that is in the stadium crowd 415 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: noise or is the TV network piping in crowd noise 416 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: as well for us listening and watching at home. Yeah, 417 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they. We're hearing at home on television 418 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: the same thing that's being heard inside the stadium, I 419 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: think so. I think so, Bill, I don't think they. 420 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: I don't think they have a different, a different crowdsource 421 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: to to put on TV. Maybe they extentuate what they're 422 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: picking up on their mics, right, because I'll tell you what, 423 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: do you remember the field goal the Rams missed? It 424 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: hit off the upright? That was that was the loudest. 425 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: That was the loudest bang I think I've ever heard 426 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: on television in a football game, So I think they 427 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: are accentuating a little disconcerting. It's got to be a 428 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: little disconcerting to the field goal kicker because his failure 429 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: is amplified. Yes, yes, the fact that I mean, I 430 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: will say this, I have been to a Ranger game, 431 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: the first series that the Rangers played, and and all 432 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: the crowd noise that you're hearing on the Rangers broadcast, 433 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: that's what they're hearing in the ballpark on the home 434 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: games and so and But I think there are some 435 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: some TV networks are piping in crowd noise. I can't 436 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: I can't recall which ones are doing that, but others 437 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: are not. I mean, if you think about if you 438 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: think about watching the hockey games, the playoffs, you can 439 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: hear the skates on the ice. So they've got Mike's 440 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: all over the place trying to pick up sound. Yeah, 441 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: in basketball sometimes the squeak of the tennis shoot yes, 442 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: was mistaken for a whistle. But they do a lot 443 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: better job I thought in Orlando of kind of putting 444 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: the crowd noise in. They were very timely on how 445 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: they put it in. And there were times when I 446 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: was watching the game and you actually think that there 447 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: are people at the game, and I'm talking about the 448 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: bench because they can't be heard over the quiet. But 449 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: for the most part they pipe in those cheers and 450 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: the different types of cheers that they pipe in or 451 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: what I liked about it. There was some jeering, not 452 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: just clapping and cheering, but there were jeers, and I 453 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: think they even put in a few booze and you know, 454 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: like a little look calamity was going on there. So 455 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: they were very varied on what sounds and types of 456 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: cheers they were using. I thought that's what the NFL 457 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: would do. It would be great for the atmosphere. And 458 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: I talked to Mark Huban about it prior to the 459 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: NBA season starting, and they have an app and I 460 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: never explored it after the after the season started, they 461 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: at an app where people could actually go online and 462 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: or with an app and put in crowd noise. And 463 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: whether they actually uh had any effect or not, I 464 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: don't know. There's probably someone just doing it and not 465 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: even paid attention to what people are in putting. But 466 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: but anyway, all right, I'm not sure if I have 467 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: time to get into the falcons. Uh. Well, we get 468 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: started and then we can continue, all right. When you 469 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: saw and I don't know if you've been able to 470 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: watch the Atlanta Seattle game at all, but but basically, 471 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: when you saw the final score of that game, what 472 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: did you think it was? Thirty eight twenty five Seattle. 473 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: I thought it wasn't tracking me score that I looked at. 474 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't just to score it. I looked at spags. Uh, 475 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: it was Russell Wilson's numbers. Uh, he only missed four passes. 476 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: If I'm not thirty one, we're talking thirty five passes 477 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: and you only miss four. Uh, that doesn't bolde well 478 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: for what I expect to see this this week for 479 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: the Falcon's defense and especially the secondary. Uh, that is, 480 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: that is the almost perfection. And let's face it, Russell 481 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: Wilson is a hell of a player, but he's not 482 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: that good. I mean, really, no one's that good to 483 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: be playing like that. And if I'm not mistaken, of course, 484 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: no crowd, no crowd was there. But that was an 485 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: unfamiliar field, correct, was that not on the road? There 486 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: was at Atlanta in Atlanta? Yeah? Did you see what 487 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: his quarterback rating was? One forty three point one and 488 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with four touchdowns, 489 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: no interceptions, and throwing for three hundred and twenty two yards. Yeah, 490 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: thirty one out of thirty five. Okay, in what they 491 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: did a lot with him is what they do a 492 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: lot with him all the time, is they rolled him out. 493 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,719 Speaker 1: Did you talk about those bootlegs and so forth? First 494 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: past attempt of the game, though, he got sacked by 495 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: Tech Tech MC League for the Atlanta and it was 496 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: a bootleg and he just so the defensive end, he 497 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: just pinned his ears back and he saw it coming 498 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: and he was immediate sack. But but they the first touchdown, 499 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: they took advantage of that Seattle did. They ran basically 500 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: the same play release they're running back and McKinley was 501 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: in no man's land and it was the easiest touchdown 502 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: ever scored. Whatever some of the I think that the Cowboys, 503 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: And when I asked you last segment about which quarterback 504 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: in the league that Dak is most similar to the 505 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: guy that for me, it's Russell Wilson. And I think 506 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys. You know, it's a Brian Schottenheimer offense 507 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: at Seattle runs. You know McCarthy, he you know, he's 508 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: from that Schottenheimer Tree himself, Brian's dad, Marty Schottenheimer. But 509 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: I think that that Dak can learn a lot about 510 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: this Atlanta defense and Kellen Moore mccar how to attack 511 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: this Atlanta defense by looking at what Seattle did against them, 512 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 1: because there was a I mean, as evidenced by the stats, 513 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: they just took advantage of an Atlanta defense that was 514 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: very aggressive first couple of series. It was almost like 515 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: what what the Rams did to the Cowboys with a 516 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: short passing game. Because the Cowboys were very aggressive and 517 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: it took a while for the Cowboys to make an 518 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: adjustment in that game. I think it took a while 519 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: for Atlanta as well. So Seattle gets up fourteen to 520 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: three to start that game, but then Atlanta comes back 521 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: and it was a fourteen to twelve game at halftime. Okay, 522 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: very similar to the Cowboys Rams game. Cowboys led fourteen 523 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: thirteen at the half against the Rams. Here's what happened 524 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: at well, I'll tell you when we come back were 525 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: up against the break, I'm going to tell you what 526 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: happened different in that game as opposed to the Cowboys 527 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: Rams game that Gabe Seattle the victory. When we come 528 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: back here on mix shots and don't go anywhere. Hey 529 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: they're Cowboys fans.

Let me continue with what we 572 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: were talking about before the break, looking at that Seahawks 573 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: Falcons game and how the Cowboys can learn some lessons 574 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: from it. And there's just a little bit of irony 575 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: in this as well. Of course, everyone talking about the 576 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: fourth and three decision that Mike McCarthy made that did 577 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 1: not work against the Rams. Well, this was a little 578 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: earlier in the game in fast In fact, it was 579 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: the first possession of the third quarter. Seattle had a 580 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: fourteen to twelve lead on Atlanta, and of course when 581 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,240 Speaker 1: McCarthy made his decision, the Cowboys were trailing by three. 582 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 1: But it's interesting the Seattle faced a fourth and four 583 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: at the Atlanta thirty eight yard line. Okay, they're ahead 584 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: by two points, fourteen to twelve, and Seattle's you're kind 585 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: of in no man's land there. Whether you want to 586 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: put them down and try to you know, Coffin corner 587 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: it or whatever, or go for it. Okay, they're fourth 588 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: and four at the thirty eight yard and they decided 589 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: to go for it. So what do they do to 590 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass? Okay, they surprised them. They went deep touchdown. Okay, 591 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 1: so now all of us so they're all right, let's 592 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: say it's incomplete. Let's say they don't get the first down. 593 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: Now you just gave Atlanta the football with good field 594 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 1: position and you're only ahead fourteen twelve. Okay, you weren't 595 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: even trailing in the game, and they went for it 596 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: and made it. Okay, but how much confidence is that 597 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: instilled in your team, especially first game of the year. 598 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: You make a decision like that, we go for it. 599 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: It works. Now you're ahead in twenty one to twelve. Also, yeah, 600 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: you got a nine point lead on Atlanta. Atlanta gets 601 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,240 Speaker 1: the ball back about the same spot on the field, 602 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: about the thirty eight yard line. They face a fourth 603 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: and three, fourth and two something like that. They're in 604 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: punt formation and Atlanta that runs a fake punt. Well, 605 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: they execute at the up back. He gets the first down, 606 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: but Marquis Blair for Seattle. He comes in, puts his 607 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 1: hat on that football, knocks it out. Seattle gets the turnover, 608 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: Seattle gets the football at the forty yard line, and 609 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: a few plays later they've got another touchdown in Seattle 610 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: leaves that game twenty eight to twelve, and a matter 611 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: of basically two plays, a matter of six plays there, 612 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: whatever it was. Okay, they went from a fourteen to 613 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,919 Speaker 1: twelve lead to twenty eight to twelve and Matt Ryan 614 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: is throwing fifty four passes the rest of the game 615 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: instead of the balance offense that Atlanta wanted to have. 616 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: But I thought it was just a great example of 617 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: a you know, when it works, you're a genius. And 618 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: think about with McCarthy, had that play worked and the 619 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys got a touchdown on that possession. Here he is 620 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: coaching his first game with the Cowboys, And I didn't 621 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: agree with the decision at the time, But now that 622 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 1: I look back at it, what if it had worked, 623 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: and what if the Cowboys take the lead? Well, the 624 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 1: game plays out entirely differently the rest of the way 625 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: because now the Rams are having to play from behind 626 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 1: and their play calling. Their play selection is totally different, 627 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys have the upper hand the rest of 628 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: the way. I think it's just it was great little contrast, 629 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: and it worked for Seattle. They get basically in the 630 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: NFL what it amounts to a blowout win by thirteen points, 631 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: and it doesn't work for the Cowboys, and Cowboys can't 632 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: wait to play again and try to get back on 633 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: the horse. Ye was a big difference. It wouldn't it 634 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: have been? Well, you know, when you start talking about 635 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: the difference between a successful play and unsuccessful play, it 636 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,760 Speaker 1: depends that that makes everything depend on where the dominoes fall. 637 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: From there, you can look at the Cowboys game. I 638 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,919 Speaker 1: bring it up all the time. Cowboys game last year. 639 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: The Dolphins were about to score against US. I think 640 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,240 Speaker 1: it was gonna be before the half of it, before 641 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: the end of the quarter, they're in scoring position. I 642 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: think that we're inside the fifteen yard line. Here we 643 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 1: are now. This game was a blowout for us. It 644 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 1: was one of those easy games we had. We started 645 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: off three and ooh, and all of a sudden the 646 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: wheels fall off and the true Cowboys emerged. Well, the 647 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: true Cowboys were in that Dolphins game because we were 648 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: about to give up a rushing touchdown and for some reason, 649 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: the Dolphins running back pull the sanchads. I guess that's 650 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: for lack of a better turn. He tried to extend 651 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: as he was going down and the ball hit somebody's 652 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 1: butt and the fumbles. Well from there, I believe we 653 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: go down and score and the route is on. So 654 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,280 Speaker 1: when you look at these routes, there are certain times 655 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: in the ball game or these key moments made a 656 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: difference in that route and allowed that route to happen. 657 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys had a few of those instances last year, 658 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: and it always made me nervous because we showed in 659 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: competence against the run even while we were routing people. 660 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: So you're right, Bill, those little gambles they can work 661 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: for you or they cannot work for you, and it 662 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: just might determine what the attitude is for your entire 663 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: team for the rest of the season, because, like you said, 664 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: if we make that first down, we're looking at this 665 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: game possibly and an entirely different light. Our construction, constructive 666 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: criticism for lack of a better term, that we put 667 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: on this show would be a little bit more favorite 668 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: and it will be a little bit more than the 669 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys favorite when it's all said and done. So that's 670 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: why I'm not going to panic too much about this 671 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 1: first game. But there are things that continued from last 672 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: season that still gives me pause. I thought Mickey was 673 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 1: going to chime in there. No what I was gonna 674 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: say is you mentioned the two touchdowns at Seattle scored. 675 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: They end up scoring seventeen consecutive points. Now, I don't 676 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: know if at that point that takes it Atlanta out 677 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: of what they would have liked to do. But Matt 678 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: Ryan threw the ball fifty four times fifty Is that 679 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: their offense? Because they only rushed for seventy two yards, 680 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking maybe they took them out of their 681 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 1: game at that point. They definitely did. They definitely did. 682 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: If you go back and look at the beginning of 683 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: that game, what they do on the first three plays 684 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: of the game. First three plays of the game, they 685 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: handed the ball off to Todd Gurley. Okay, they're new 686 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: running and I think four out of the first six 687 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: plays Gurley, we ran the ball and then he caught 688 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: a pass. They obviously were intent on establishing Gurley. That 689 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: was their big offseason move. That where they got Todd Gurley. 690 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: You know, I think the other thing that's interesting, And 691 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy mentioned this a few weeks ago, talking about 692 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: watching the TV copy when he scouting opponents, the TV 693 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: copy and listening to the announcers as well as the 694 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: coach's film. And I think, as I think it's I 695 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: would think any NFL team, whether the coaches do it 696 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: or not, someone needs to listen to the TV broadcast 697 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: of whoever your opponent is, because there's a lot of 698 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: times where the analyst will give away secrets I have 699 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: that I have, I agree with, you know, and if 700 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: you listen, if you listen to the broadcast, and I 701 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: don't even know who the announcers were, I didn't recognize 702 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: the voices, but whoever the analyst was on that Atlanta 703 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: Seattle game, he kept talking about early in the game, 704 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 1: Atlanta really wants to establish Todd Gurley here. And so 705 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of times that coaches NFL coaches they 706 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: think they're it's in confidence. They're just giving uh, you know, 707 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: they're not expecting the analysts to go on the air 708 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: and basically give away their you know, what their mindset 709 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: is as they go into the season. But you can 710 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 1: pick up on little things there, and sometimes it's more 711 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: subtle than others. But I think that's one thing that Atlanta, 712 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: what the analysts was saying, was that's one of the 713 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: that's one of the things that when they looked at 714 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: themselves this offseason, they really wanted to because we didn't 715 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,439 Speaker 1: establish the run last year. We really wanted to get 716 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 1: back to running the football and so uh And in fact, 717 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 1: McCarthy at his press conference today said something about, well, 718 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: they really want to throw the ball. I think I 719 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: think he may be bluffing there. I think he understands 720 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 1: that Atlanta really wants to run the ball. They want 721 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: to get more balanced in their offense. I want to 722 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: be I want to be the TV I want to 723 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: be the TV coach, the one that listens to everything 724 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 1: and huts everything down. That's right. But when you think 725 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 1: about it, though, you know, you got guys like Tony 726 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: Romo or Troy Aikman. They talked to the coaches and 727 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: the key players. That's Saturday before the game. You can 728 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: get all types of information from that. And I have 729 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: always thought that Bill, it's so funny that you mentioned 730 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 1: something like that. But you know, kind of coaches. They 731 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 1: let the guard down. The coaches let the garden. But 732 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 1: that's not the whole interview is for us. Then the 733 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 1: network guys, they just act like they figured it out themselves, 734 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: like Hey, I'm real smart what was going on here? 735 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: And you kind of disguised almost like hey, Romo was like, hey, 736 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna run this play right now. Well, Romo was 737 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: just at the practice yesterday, so yeah, you just saw. 738 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: But when you talk about that, going back to the 739 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: Falcons game, and it just lends cretins to what I've 740 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: always said about a team game. Uh, Russell Wilson had 741 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: health early on in that game. And what health was 742 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: the fact that that guy put his hat on the ball. 743 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,399 Speaker 1: You know, his defensive player or his special team's player 744 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: put that hat on the ball. You know, he didn't 745 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: leave it up to Russell Wilson to come back out 746 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: after the Falcons had driven all the way down and scored. 747 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,720 Speaker 1: They made the play themselves, and they put their offense 748 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: in scoring position. In order for this team to be successful, guys, 749 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 1: I've said it over and over again, they have to 750 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: be mistake free. They have to be known for being 751 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: mistake free, which we did not do that in the 752 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: RAMS game. They have to be known to have a 753 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: defense that makes critical plays which we did not make, 754 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,439 Speaker 1: especially third downs, an indicator of that. Offensively, the same thing, 755 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: we do not capitalize off of each other's big plays. 756 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we let the oppositions big 757 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: plays determine how we play. So as a team, I 758 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: don't care how many superstars you have. You can have 759 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, you may have Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers, your 760 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: defense and your special teams they have to come to 761 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: play as well. Hey, they gave you an interception, what 762 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 1: else do you want one? By the way, we're out 763 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: of time here, But that that Atlanta Special teams coach, 764 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, he called the perfect play the great fake punt. 765 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: He didn't account for the fact that Marquis Blair was 766 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: gonna put his head on Sharad Nisman in the football 767 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 1: and it didn't work. So it's all about execution, all right. 768 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 1: We will be executing again tomorrow here on the mix shots, 769 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 1: and we will see you then. This has been a 770 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 1: production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Della Cowboys 771 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: Football Club.
