Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys. This is Mick Shot screaming live on Dallascowboys dot
Speaker 2: Com and the Official Dallas Cowboys Act. Now Here are
Speaker 2: Bill Jones, Savannah Humohler, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 4: You know the first time that Stampede was played after
Speaker 4: a Cowboys Dolphins game, it was some fifty one years ago,
Speaker 4: more than fifty one years ago now. It was January sixteenth,
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy two. That's when the Dallas Cowboys went down
Speaker 4: to New Orleans and beat the Miami Dolphins twenty four
Speaker 4: to three to win Super Bowl six.
Speaker 5: Was that the first time they played the song?
Speaker 4: That's the first time they played the song after a
Speaker 4: Cowboys Dolphins game. Oh after, because that was the first
Speaker 4: meeting ever between the Cowboys and the Dolphins. Was the
Speaker 4: Dwayne Thomas game when the Cowboys beat the Dolphins. And
Speaker 4: that I wish Efferson was here so he could hear
Speaker 4: the Dwayne Thomas game. That's a game to win over
Speaker 4: the Dolphins in the Super Bowl. And here we are
Speaker 4: fifty one years later, and it's the Cowboys and the
Speaker 4: Dolphins to ten and four teams playing on Christmas Eve,
Speaker 4: and here we are with your earliest pregame show possible.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, absolutely the earliest Christmas Eve show too. By the way,
Speaker 5: we'll get you ready for Christmas Eve too.
Speaker 4: I couldn't find my Santa hat. I was gonna wear
Speaker 4: a Santa hat today. I think I gave it away
Speaker 4: or something last year.
Speaker 5: I thought of it, and then I got into rush
Speaker 5: to leave because I've got a blue.
Speaker 4: Cowboys Yeah Santa hat, Santa half.
Speaker 6: You guys should have worn that. I should have, but gosh,
Speaker 6: getting the Christmas spirit.
Speaker 4: I was in the Christmas spirit. I just didn't take
Speaker 4: ahead of time to go find it.
Speaker 5: Avan by a store on the way. Savannah's into Christmas.
Speaker 4: She is. I got a present. She gave me a gift.
Speaker 4: She give you a gift.
Speaker 5: I got one too.
Speaker 4: Thought I was the.
Speaker 6: Spot producer Supreme he got one as well. Everson was
Speaker 6: the only one that missed out today.
Speaker 4: I did, all right, Well you got time on Everson exactly.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So's not gonna be back.
Speaker 6: Till two day shows up on Monday. But we'll find out.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's good one, Yeah, very good, all right, so
Speaker 4: it's a fabulous football Friday, getting you set for a
Speaker 4: Christmas weekend full of games. Got kicked off actually last night.
Speaker 4: You know, if you were going to pick a Thursday
Speaker 4: night game to play in, if you had to play
Speaker 4: on a Thursday night, which every team does, and you
Speaker 4: had your choice of Thursday night games to play in,
Speaker 4: this would be the week to do it. Because the
Speaker 4: Rams and the Saints they got to play on Thursday night.
Speaker 4: And then Sean mcvayh told the Rams after the game,
Speaker 4: come back Tuesday. I don't want to see again till Tuesday,
Speaker 4: the day after Christmas.
Speaker 5: That's pretty good. That's nice.
Speaker 4: Nice for him. By the way, they earned it, and
Speaker 4: they have earned it really almost going back to when
Speaker 4: they came in here and lost to the Cowboys forty
Speaker 4: three to twenty in October. I think they lost the
Speaker 4: next week and Stafford was hurt, and then they had
Speaker 4: a bye week. Do you really what the Rams have
Speaker 4: done since then? Now they are on a hot streak.
Speaker 4: They have won five of their last six games. And
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford, you talk about if he did this over
Speaker 4: the entire season, he'd be in that MVP conversation. The
Speaker 4: way he's playing right now?
Speaker 5: Are they above five hundred?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 4: They are? They're eight and seven, eight.
Speaker 5: And seven, Yeah, so they're in the mix.
Speaker 4: For h oh, They're definitely right there. Yes, they are
Speaker 4: right in there. And if you look, they play at
Speaker 4: the Giants next week, then they will finish against San Francisco,
Speaker 4: which likely will be a game that San Francisco doesn't
Speaker 4: have to win and be playing backups, and they're looking
Speaker 4: at a ten and seven record. And coach gets back
Speaker 4: to my question from earlier in the week as it
Speaker 4: relates to the Cowboys. Would you rather in the first
Speaker 4: round of the playoffs host the Rams or the Seahawks?
Speaker 4: And the Seahawks, by the way, have a good shot
Speaker 4: at they play at the Jets this week, and at
Speaker 4: the top I think they maybe have Pittsburgh in Arizona.
Speaker 4: But anyway, they have a chance of finishing ten and seven. Two.
Speaker 4: Would you rather host the Rams or the Seahawks or
Speaker 4: go on the road and play at Tampa Bay in
Speaker 4: the first round of the playoffs?
Speaker 6: I think earlier this week I said go on the road.
Speaker 4: But I've changed my mind, have you really? I have?
Speaker 6: I think actually playing at home first might just give
Speaker 6: the guys the pep and the step that they need
Speaker 6: going into that next round. But I I might pick Seattle,
Speaker 6: oh yeah, over the Rams if that was the case.
Speaker 5: If I go on the road, who do I got
Speaker 5: to play next?
Speaker 4: No, I'm talking about the question is because that first
Speaker 4: round the cat is that's right, But first round of
Speaker 4: the playoffs.
Speaker 5: Is the second round? I'm getting San Francisco or you're
Speaker 5: getting Philadelphia? Yeah, one of the two?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't get my choice in them.
Speaker 6: I just don't like them being on the road the
Speaker 6: whole time, you know, like if that was the scenario
Speaker 6: where they're on the road all through the playoffs, you
Speaker 6: might as well have one at home.
Speaker 4: And I know, I know more likely you'll have two
Speaker 4: at home. Yea, because you have the number two seed.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 4: Well, no, we're talking yeah, right exactly, Yeah, you will,
Speaker 4: you'll be.
Speaker 5: I'll take home. I'd rather play Tampa Bay. But I'll
Speaker 5: tell that's a good one.
Speaker 4: Uh And and we just saw Seattle come in here
Speaker 4: and it was.
Speaker 5: So do you realize right now the Rams, other than
Speaker 5: technically Philadelphia is the only team not leading a division
Speaker 5: with a winning record. They're eight and seven, right, everybody
Speaker 5: in the well New Orleans lost, so they're seven and eight,
Speaker 5: but Tampa Bay is seven and seven, and then second place.
Speaker 4: In the in Seattle right now seven and seven, right.
Speaker 5: North Minnesota seven and seven, yeah, and Seattle seven and seven.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at the remaining schedule for
Speaker 4: the Rams and the Seahawks, you can make a case
Speaker 4: that both of them could win their remaining games and
Speaker 4: both finished ten and seven. It looks like if you
Speaker 4: just look at the schedule going forward, that there's going
Speaker 4: to be three playoff teams come out of the NFC
Speaker 4: West San Francisco and as well as the Rams and
Speaker 4: the Seahawks. Now, we'll see they can easily spit the
Speaker 4: bit too the last couple of weeks of the season.
Speaker 4: But it's very interesting, and you know, a coaching job
Speaker 4: that McVeigh has done with the Rams is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 5: Turned them around, and that offense looked awfully good if
Speaker 5: you think about it.
Speaker 4: Now. They got a healthy Cooper Cup to go along
Speaker 4: with the potential rookie of the year in Pukin Nakua
Speaker 4: who has ninety seven catches now for thirteen hundred and
Speaker 4: twenty seven yards.
Speaker 5: He's no CD Lamb though, no just I throw that out.
Speaker 4: He was a fifth round Okay, we're talking a fifth
Speaker 4: round draft pick. Yeah, okay. And last year's fifth round
Speaker 4: draft pick is their running back Kieran Williams. And who
Speaker 4: is by the way, this run that they're on right
Speaker 4: now is coincided with Kiaren Williams coming back to the
Speaker 4: lineup for them. He was out. In fact, he did
Speaker 4: not play against the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: He was when he.
Speaker 5: Scored the touchdown, he went and gave the ball news.
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, so that was They were up thirty to
Speaker 9: seven with twelve forty four to go before the Saints
Speaker 9: actually started scoring points and.
Speaker 5: Got it to thirty twenty two, and then they on
Speaker 5: site kicked didn't recover it, and then they got one
Speaker 5: first down and kneeled out the game. But it got
Speaker 5: close at the end, one possession kind.
Speaker 4: Of sort of yeah, all right, So so here we are,
Speaker 4: and uh, we had the coach talked this morning on
Speaker 4: the radio. Yes, we had the owner, president, general manager
Speaker 4: talk on the radio this morning. And big time concern
Speaker 4: at left tackle for this team right now.
Speaker 5: Sounds that way, doesn't It sounded sounded like at least
Speaker 5: Zach Martin would do a little bit on Saturday and
Speaker 5: they felt pretty confident that he likely would be able
Speaker 5: to play. I'm guessing they're going to list him as questionable,
Speaker 5: and then Tyron Smith not as much. And as Mike
Speaker 5: McCarthy continues to say, we'll see what he does if
Speaker 5: he does anything on Saturday, and that'll make the determining
Speaker 5: factor if he's able to play on Sunday.
Speaker 4: And if he had to say, which who was ahead
Speaker 4: of the other right now?
Speaker 5: Jack Martin easily and it it sounded like he was
Speaker 5: going to take a part in the walk through today.
Speaker 5: So if he can do the walkthrough and just kind
Speaker 5: of get the mental part of it down, even if
Speaker 5: he doesn't do much tomorrow, they'll just get him ready
Speaker 5: to go on Sunday. And I've seen him walking around.
Speaker 5: He's walking well.
Speaker 4: Okay, if that means he's walk through. Yeah, they were
Speaker 4: just out on the field here, yeah.
Speaker 5: But yeah he was. When I saw him in the
Speaker 5: training table yesterday, he was walking pretty.
Speaker 4: Good, okay, And I'm thinking that he probably can handle
Speaker 4: the mental side of it.
Speaker 5: I would imagine. Now, on the other hand.
Speaker 4: Who's who's your left tackle?
Speaker 5: Well, let's tumba.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not how you change two.
Speaker 5: Things that I don't feel good about that, but as
Speaker 5: a consolation, Miami Dolphins could very well have three guys
Speaker 5: missing from their offensive line.
Speaker 4: We know, before you go to the Dolphins, let me
Speaker 4: ask you real quick, where is Will Let's go on
Speaker 4: things right now, good question, Thank you very much. That's why.
Speaker 5: He has not been activated yet.
Speaker 4: Right. I was going to say he was designated, his
Speaker 4: windows started and this.
Speaker 5: Is the first time I think this week he's listed
Speaker 5: as fully practicing. Okay, so you might be able to
Speaker 5: keep him active if but I hadn't played all year,
Speaker 5: so would you?
Speaker 4: So what do you? Here's my question. Yeah, from a
Speaker 4: backup standpoint.
Speaker 5: You want awesome?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 5: Or do you want well, let's go who hasn't played
Speaker 5: all year?
Speaker 6: Awesome?
Speaker 4: I want someone to play awesome?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. And if you activate, well, let's go.
Speaker 4: You got to make a move.
Speaker 5: Make a move.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, now good to get to the Dolphins. Dolphins
Speaker 4: is a juicier Well that's not juicier, but it's juicy.
Speaker 6: Well, you start yesterday. You had a couple inside scoops
Speaker 6: already before the practice report even came out yesterday, because
Speaker 6: you saw from your your people in Miami, Tyreek Hill
Speaker 6: was out on the field yes ready to practice. So
Speaker 6: that was the one from yesterday.
Speaker 4: I mean, get let me check my sources. No, I
Speaker 4: got your So okay, all right.
Speaker 5: Mike McDaniel already spoke to the media that right guard
Speaker 5: Robert Hunt will miss his third consecutive game. So he
Speaker 5: had been listed as not practicing all week and so
Speaker 5: they basically have decided he's out. And then the right
Speaker 5: tackle Austin Jackson.
Speaker 4: With an oblique injury.
Speaker 5: They are saying he would be limited today after not
Speaker 5: practicing Wednesday and Thursday, so that's going to be questionable.
Speaker 5: So if he doesn't play, they could be down three
Speaker 5: starters on their offensive line.
Speaker 6: That's big.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: They expected uh Tyreek Hill uh to be uh practicing today.
Speaker 5: McDaniel said, he needs to get through Friday's practice. So
Speaker 5: yesterday he went from did not practice to limited and
Speaker 5: they were going to see how much he can do
Speaker 5: today after doing some stuff yesterday. Also Xavian Howard, who
Speaker 5: has been listed so far as out and limited, he
Speaker 5: said he's good to go, and McDaniels said, we'll see
Speaker 5: what the trainers have to say. So I would imagine
Speaker 5: he's going to be questionable also, and By the way,
Speaker 5: Nadamakon Sue did visit the Dolphins. McDaniel said, we had
Speaker 5: a nice discussion, so no roster move, but he also
Speaker 5: said bringing him in he just don't want to assume things, meaning, oh,
Speaker 5: he can't play, he's you know whatever. So they did
Speaker 5: bring him in, So that kind of gives you an
Speaker 5: idea of where the majority of the injuries are. And
Speaker 5: it sounded like Hooker for the Cowboys, who I believe
Speaker 5: he missed both days right, Wednesday and Thursday. Let's see, yes, yes, no,
Speaker 5: they listened to him as limited yesterday. Okay, so I
Speaker 5: think that's a good sign that he's on demand. He
Speaker 5: had a ankle. I think he'll be good to go.
Speaker 5: And we know Jonathan Hankins is out. I would imagine
Speaker 5: he's out this week and probably next week with a
Speaker 5: high ankle spring and a knee too.
Speaker 4: By the way, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 6: He's not having a great time. I'm sure right now.
Speaker 4: The Dolphins offensive line and Austin Jackson has been confirmed
Speaker 4: now through my sources in Miami that he was out
Speaker 4: on the field. Out on the field, so he was
Speaker 4: actually doing something in practice today, their right tackle.
Speaker 5: So McDaniel did that as press conference before before Yeah.
Speaker 4: Practice, So tarn Armstead their left tackle who has been
Speaker 4: came back from injury last week. Okay, he should be
Speaker 4: starting at left tackle for them. And then they've got
Speaker 4: Lester Cotton, who has been starting at left guard, a
Speaker 4: college free agent twenty nineteen. Liam Eikenberg who moved from
Speaker 4: left guard to center when Connor Williams went down with
Speaker 4: his ACL injury six plays into the Tennessee game two
Speaker 4: weeks ago. He is the starting center. Robert Jones, college
Speaker 4: free agent two years ago, is the starting right guard,
Speaker 4: and if Austin Jackson can't go, then Kendall Lamb, who
Speaker 4: was a college free agent in twenty fifteen out of
Speaker 4: Appalachian State who is primarily a left tackle, would slide
Speaker 4: over to fit tackle to play very good. I think
Speaker 4: the Cowboys might be able to take advantage of what
Speaker 4: the Dolphins have on.
Speaker 5: Their officeunds that way. And Raheem Moster most he has
Speaker 5: not practiced the last two days, but they did put
Speaker 5: knee ankle and rest, so I would imagine he will
Speaker 5: be out there. And I've got some pretty good stats on.
Speaker 4: Him, okay, which we will get to when we come
Speaker 4: back previewing Cowboys and Dolphins when mixed Shots continues in
Speaker 4: a moment.
Speaker 10: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they snapped.
Speaker 4: The press guy who looks right, it's not there. He
Speaker 4: escapes left. He'll run for a punch down. Just like football.
Speaker 10: When it comes to crypto, it's important to have a

Speaker 4: All right, we continue here on mixed shots on a
Speaker 4: Christmas Eve Eve Eve edition as we get you set
Speaker 4: for Cowboys Dolphins three twenty five kickoff Dallas time on
Speaker 4: Christmas Eve. At the opportunity last night, this has really
Speaker 4: been a fun week for me since I have I'm
Speaker 4: offered my other job.
Speaker 5: How does that happen?
Speaker 4: I've been and so I've had more time to devote
Speaker 4: to like looking back at the Bills game, looking at
Speaker 4: more closely at the Dolphins. If I could just do
Speaker 4: this all the time, that'd be great.
Speaker 6: So I got to say, yesterday Mickey was sitting here
Speaker 6: looking up some stats on a page, and I look
Speaker 6: over at your notebook, and I swear you had it,
Speaker 6: every single same thing on the page written, and.
Speaker 4: How I prepare it.
Speaker 6: We could print, but no. Bill has his own way
Speaker 6: of doing it.
Speaker 4: That's right old school anyway.
Speaker 5: Well, you know there's a trick to that too. Some
Speaker 5: of us have to write things down to remember a
Speaker 5: memory that. Unfortunately, I was probably through college before I
Speaker 5: figured that out, right, Like studying for tests, it's like
Speaker 5: write it down.
Speaker 4: That's why exactly, that's why I have this big green
Speaker 4: NFL draft sky notebook and I look at it every
Speaker 4: spring semester. That's my class for the spring semester, just
Speaker 4: like you were for us old school back in college,
Speaker 4: where we had a notebook and I'd write things down whatever,
Speaker 4: And so I write down about these college players and
Speaker 4: that's how I you know, a guy's in the league
Speaker 4: for ten years. Oh that guy, he's from Nebraska, or
Speaker 4: he's from whatever. It just it's now. It's in my
Speaker 4: memory bank, you know. And if I just was looking
Speaker 4: at stuff, I would never remember that. But the fact
Speaker 4: you write it down, that's what commits it to memory.
Speaker 6: Oh, I know, I've hopped on the legal pad train.
Speaker 4: You go there, very good. Yeah, you can actually writing
Speaker 4: it down. It doesn't have to be in a notebook
Speaker 4: physically writing it. It can be just writing it down,
Speaker 4: typing it into a laptop or something too, or.
Speaker 5: Just writing like someone's name down so you remember it.
Speaker 4: Because there was a time like when I was doing
Speaker 4: Ranger games. Now this is I was ahead of ahead
Speaker 4: of my time on that. I was actually would use
Speaker 4: a laptop to do everything because I knew, like in
Speaker 4: the broadcast booth, I had the laptop at my fingertips
Speaker 4: and so I could eat quickly, go to stuff but
Speaker 4: like for TV shows and stuff, if I'm out here
Speaker 4: doing Cowboys TV shows about the draft or anything, well
Speaker 4: I can't. I don't have time the ability to get
Speaker 4: on a laptop to do that. So I found that
Speaker 4: it was easier writing down on a legal pad like
Speaker 4: Mickey has right there, or a notebook whatever, and.
Speaker 5: Wait another ten years.
Speaker 4: So anyway, so anyway, it's been great going back and
Speaker 4: looking at the Bills game. Yes, I thought TJ. Bass
Speaker 4: was fine at right guard, and in fact, I think
Speaker 4: going forward, the Cowboys have to feel really good about
Speaker 4: that college free agent out of Oregon. And asked Mike
Speaker 4: McCarthy about him yesterday. He's enthused about him as well.
Speaker 4: I mean, he had one play in the game against
Speaker 4: Buffalo that was glaring where a sack occurred and it
Speaker 4: was Jordan I think it was Jordan Phillips who got free.
Speaker 4: He was and it was a third and one play
Speaker 4: at the thirty nine yard line and they had tight splits.
Speaker 4: He was playing right guard and his left foot stepped
Speaker 4: on Tyler Biattish's foot and so he slipped and fell,
Speaker 4: and so Jordan Phillips was able to blast through to
Speaker 4: get to Dak. That was the only glaring issue that
Speaker 4: I thought that.
Speaker 5: Somebody had possibly going forward, whenever Tyron is done, you
Speaker 5: moved Tyler Smith to left tackle and Bass right now
Speaker 5: looks like he can play left guard well.
Speaker 4: And then going forward, I don't know how many is
Speaker 4: Zach Martin going to play another half decade?
Speaker 5: They better hope so.
Speaker 4: But going forward, even as far as Zach is concerned,
Speaker 4: you've got a young guy who can be groomed and
Speaker 4: you know, and if Tyler does kick out to left tackle,
Speaker 4: then you've got a guy who can.
Speaker 5: And remember in there from training camp and really kind
Speaker 5: of early in the season when they do the quarterback
Speaker 5: warm up aside, he's got his hand on the ball,
Speaker 5: so they were kind of looking to see if he
Speaker 5: could possibly be a backup center.
Speaker 6: How many snaps did he have last week?
Speaker 4: All but ten? I think he had, yeah, So I
Speaker 4: think there there it was forty seven. I think the
Speaker 4: offense had fifty seven snaps in the game, and I
Speaker 4: believe he had forty seven. Zach had ten.
Speaker 5: So anyway, Bass had forty seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So but go ahead, you have something that you
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 5: Going to point out about Raheem Mostert, and.
Speaker 4: I I will just continue to go with mostart here
Speaker 4: for those of you in Miami, we understand it is
Speaker 4: Moss and I wrote it down, by the way, it's not.
Speaker 4: And let me admit this, Okay, I said Siler earlier
Speaker 4: in the week. It's Zach Sealing. Here's a really good
Speaker 4: player on there.
Speaker 5: But now I've gotten Raheem down here you go, okay.
Speaker 4: And we've always and we've we've been everyone's been told
Speaker 4: it's a chan a chan.
Speaker 5: And I was reminded that McDaniel and most were with
Speaker 5: each other in San Francisco, and when McDaniel got the
Speaker 5: job as the head coach in Miami, the first free
Speaker 5: agent he signed was Raheem. He saw something in him.
Speaker 5: And one of the notes from Miami is uh monster
Speaker 5: broke Ricky Williams mostart. Sorry, Ricky Williams franchise rushing te
Speaker 5: the record for a single season with his eighteen right
Speaker 5: now and at also broke Mark Clayton record with twenty
Speaker 5: five touchdowns from scrimmage. So two pretty good guys that
Speaker 5: played for the Dolphins. And Ricky Williams was his guy
Speaker 5: growing up in New Samurna Beach, Florida, and he and
Speaker 5: his brother both wore Ricky Williams number, which at that
Speaker 5: time was thirty four. Now, how about this, So he's
Speaker 5: got eighteen rushing touchdowns at the age of thirty one.
Speaker 5: He's the fifth player in NFL history to score a
Speaker 5: total of twenty touchdowns thirty years or more old. The
Speaker 5: others Priest Holmes, John Riggins And this is from scrimmage, Okay,
Speaker 5: Randy Moss and Lenny Moore. Wow, the old Baltimore Colts
Speaker 5: running back. Right, and the next touchdown he scores will
Speaker 5: break Legarrett Blunts or past Lagarrett Blunt for third most
Speaker 5: rushing touchdowns by an undrafted player since nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 5: So usually running backs at the age of twenty eight
Speaker 5: or so they start declining. Right, Sky's thirty.
Speaker 4: Well he didn't give very many carries.
Speaker 5: Eight yeah, yeah, so he's got tread on the tire, right,
Speaker 5: that's right.
Speaker 6: So I went to North Texas with Jeffrey Wilson Junior,
Speaker 6: who is their other running back, and he and Raheem
Speaker 6: were both in San Francisco at the same time, and
Speaker 6: they both went over to the Dolphins at the same time.
Speaker 4: Yep. So Hotel McDaniel liked both of them, and they
Speaker 4: also and before San Francisco got McCaffrey, they did running
Speaker 4: back by committee, and they were primary guys on that committee, right,
Speaker 4: And so McDaniel just took both of them from San Francisco.
Speaker 5: And he had suffered a bad knee injury in San Francisco,
Speaker 5: And I don't know if that's why they gave up
Speaker 5: at him and made the trade for McCaffrey.
Speaker 6: Yeah, in twenty twenty one, he had only one game played.
Speaker 5: It was pretty significant too, as I remember, so, thirty
Speaker 5: four yards away from a thousand yard season, by the way.
Speaker 4: Before age twenty seven. In twenty nineteen, Raheem Mostert had
Speaker 4: a total of forty two carries in the National Football
Speaker 4: League After being undrafted in twenty fifteen, he was with Cleveland, Miami, Baltimore,
Speaker 4: Chicago before finally landing with San Francisco is end of
Speaker 4: his second year in the league, and then was with
Speaker 4: the Niners until last season. And then McDaniel got the
Speaker 4: Miami job and quickly installed him as his starting running back.
Speaker 4: And then they draft eight chn this year, and that's
Speaker 4: quite a one to two punch now they have at
Speaker 4: running back. I mean, Mostard is about to go over
Speaker 4: a thousand yards rushing. He's thirty four yards shy of
Speaker 4: a thousand?
Speaker 5: Is that what I just said?
Speaker 4: Gotcha?
Speaker 6: I want to see where Tony Pollard is at. Let's
Speaker 6: do a little comparison here.
Speaker 5: Okay, Pollard has a ways to go to a thousand.
Speaker 6: I think he definitely does. I just want to look
Speaker 6: at It.
Speaker 4: Was interesting what Pollard was saying, was it this week
Speaker 4: or last week about how he nowes that at the
Speaker 4: beginning of the season he was still right.
Speaker 5: He said it yesterday, Yeah, it was it or Wednesday?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, he now realizes the difference in how he
Speaker 4: is running now as opposed to the beginning of the
Speaker 4: season how he was coming off that injury. And you
Speaker 4: can see it on the field a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: I think I made the comment, man, he looks like
Speaker 4: he's quicker now. You can see him as he got
Speaker 4: to the second level. He's about to break one of these.
Speaker 5: He looks like how he was playing in training camp
Speaker 5: when they weren't tackling like the burst. Yeah, and now
Speaker 5: this has come back. So he's one hundred and fifty
Speaker 5: two yards short of a thousand. But the things that
Speaker 5: stood out to me with the Dolphins is mostrat has
Speaker 5: eighteen rushing touchdowns. Think about that, eighteen. I think I
Speaker 5: counted out counted up in the league, only like seven
Speaker 5: or eight teams have more rushing touchdowns than eighteen. What
Speaker 5: are the Cowboys have? Thirteen? He's got eighteen by himself.
Speaker 5: And the other thing with a chan. Now, he's only
Speaker 5: touched the ball running seventy two times. He's averaging eight
Speaker 5: point five yards a carry, eight point five.
Speaker 4: He missed a significant portion of the season too, eight chan.
Speaker 5: So we're talking fresh legs and he's you know, seventy
Speaker 5: two carries and he's got seven touchdowns.
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting. And McCarthy has talked about this
Speaker 4: this week. Is the motion that the Dolphins use in
Speaker 4: their offense. Yeah, it's not traditional motion a lot of times,
Speaker 4: a lot of at times it is just prior to
Speaker 4: the snap where Tua will put a guy in motion,
Speaker 4: and I'm sure it's an indicator for him and an
Speaker 4: early indicator for him whether the defense is in a
Speaker 4: manned man or zone defense, which is why everybody used
Speaker 4: but they typically different, they but typically most teams put
Speaker 4: them in motion and they come all the way across
Speaker 4: the backfield or whatever. Well, there will be almost virtually
Speaker 4: every play. It seems like he puts a guy in
Speaker 4: motion and it's like just a second before the snap
Speaker 4: and it and it helps him, i think, be able
Speaker 4: to see the defense more clearly and get an early
Speaker 4: tip on what the defense is doing.
Speaker 5: So it it and it's giving that guy that's in
Speaker 5: motion a running start. It all, he's not going in
Speaker 5: motion and setting.
Speaker 4: But it also it's the reaction of the defense, right,
Speaker 4: and so the defense is reacting to that motion, which
Speaker 4: which can be the difference in a guy in the
Speaker 4: run game. Even where you're taking a guy, maybe a
Speaker 4: linebacker out of the box and you're clear, you're basically
Speaker 4: you're almost using it as a blocking tool. Okay, where
Speaker 4: if that linebacker is going with that tie the end
Speaker 4: who just went in motion, then it's going to clear
Speaker 4: up that side of the field and for then Hn
Speaker 4: and most have the speed to get to the second
Speaker 4: level there.
Speaker 5: And if people don't really understand what we're talking about,
Speaker 5: just think of an arena football when they would put
Speaker 5: guys in motion or the Canadian football you could go
Speaker 5: in motion and quarterback and going towards the line of scribble.
Speaker 5: They can't go toward but they are in motion running,
Speaker 5: so they get a running head start, and yeah, that
Speaker 5: complicates thing. And oddly it's working because as a team
Speaker 5: they've rushed for one nine and fifty five yards and
Speaker 5: by the way, twenty six touchdowns. But that when you
Speaker 5: got eighteen from one and seven from the other, it's
Speaker 5: pretty easy to get the twenty six.
Speaker 4: The other thing at Tua does And that's when I
Speaker 4: asked McCarthy about to what's impressed in the most and
Speaker 4: it's a command of the offense that Tua has now
Speaker 4: and now that he's he's in the second.
Speaker 5: Year in this offense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you'll see what he will do a lot
Speaker 4: of times is even pre snap, he puts a guy
Speaker 4: in motion to the right side and you could it's
Speaker 4: it's almost like a no look pass. It's coming at
Speaker 4: you where he got your attention going to the right side,
Speaker 4: and he'll just come back and throw it to waddle
Speaker 4: over here on the left side on a little square
Speaker 4: in or something like that. And so yeah, so, uh,
Speaker 4: just interesting just studying them, and I would think that
Speaker 4: they would be a very difficult team to prepare for
Speaker 4: in a short period of time. And so the advanced
Speaker 4: scouts on this team. Uh, and they've known about the
Speaker 4: success of this offense throughout the season. I bet the
Speaker 4: advanced scouts have put in a lot of time to
Speaker 4: where they've got a lot of their stuff at this
Speaker 4: point in the season. Down where there, that's going to
Speaker 4: be a very well prepared Cowboys team going in there
Speaker 4: to face what they throw at them. All right, our
Speaker 4: picks to click and predictions even from Everson when mixed
Speaker 4: shots continues in a moment.

Speaker 4: and Cincinnati. Because because the new quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 4: I understand that Mike Tomlin went to him earlier in
Speaker 4: the week. He's been the third string quarterback all year,
Speaker 4: and he said to Amy s team, Rudolph, will you right, slate?
Speaker 5: Okay, we played along with you. I knew something was coming.
Speaker 4: I couldn't spit it out. You remind Jason Rudolph will
Speaker 4: be getting to start Steelers.
Speaker 5: College roommate will do that all the time. You set
Speaker 5: people up for some silliness like that.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Mason Rudolph, he'll go down in history if he
Speaker 4: leads the Steelers.
Speaker 5: Don't think somebody won't write that.
Speaker 4: Okay, guarantee you don't think.
Speaker 5: I learned my lesson when I was in college and
Speaker 5: I covered a game on Valentine's Day and the star
Speaker 5: basketball player for the team was named Love. Oh my,
Speaker 5: and I wrote it straight. And the guy that was
Speaker 5: the instructor, Bob Love, Yeah what his first name was,
Speaker 5: And he goes, you had a once in a lifetime
Speaker 5: shot there and you'll never get it at and I
Speaker 5: learned my lesson about writing straight leads.
Speaker 4: You know what. I won an award in high school
Speaker 4: and when h write the first article I ever wrote
Speaker 4: for a high school newspaper. It was at the time
Speaker 4: that Hurricane Carmen hit the Texas coast and our football
Speaker 4: team's head coach was Carmen Bonner and they won their
Speaker 4: first game down in Austin, and I wrote something about
Speaker 4: Hurricane Carmen. So it started at a young age for
Speaker 4: very good. Okay, this is a great setup for my
Speaker 4: picks to click this week, and you're gonna love my
Speaker 4: picks to click on this Christmas weekend.
Speaker 6: I can't wait for.
Speaker 5: That what twist we have here?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 6: Do we want to do? Ever since first his what'd
Speaker 6: you say? One thirty in the morning?
Speaker 4: Was it? What I didn't even see the time stamp morning? Okay?
Speaker 4: We need to yeah, we need to read.
Speaker 9: It even worse.
Speaker 6: You know, he has been thinking about this for the
Speaker 6: last two days, so two in the morning he made
Speaker 6: his decision.
Speaker 4: Okay, do we want it to uh just read the
Speaker 4: uh read the text here?
Speaker 6: You want me to read it?
Speaker 10: If you go?
Speaker 6: All right? Click to pick Cowboys thirty one Miami twenty eight,
Speaker 6: Bland and Galimore with one interception each. That is right.
Speaker 4: So I woke up this morning and I texted back
Speaker 4: at him on the group text Gallimore question marks, laughing hysterically,
Speaker 4: you must mean Gilmore. Mickey chimed in and said, I
Speaker 4: read that and read Gilmore in my mind anyway. So
Speaker 4: it's so if we're going to give him credit for both,
Speaker 4: if Gallimore or Gilmore get a pick, that he wins.
Speaker 6: Right like that, that's fair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a giving season here. So but thirty one,
Speaker 4: twenty eight, he's got the Cowboys winning by a field goal,
Speaker 4: and it's time for Bland and to get another pick.
Speaker 6: I agree.
Speaker 4: Yeah. By the way, in this quarterback, if you go
Speaker 4: watch him, I went back and looked this morning. I
Speaker 4: watched a lot of the Tennessee game Tua. He will
Speaker 4: take chances. I mean some of the passes are really neat.
Speaker 4: It's threadned the needle between three defenders middle of the field.
Speaker 4: But he will throw it in the middle of the field,
Speaker 4: and there's some opportunities to get a pick against him.
Speaker 6: I think he has ten interceptions so far.
Speaker 5: So just remember he's not real tall. What do you
Speaker 5: think they listened him at.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 4: I think they probably listened him at six to one,
Speaker 4: maybe six one two seventeen. Let's see, while Mickey.
Speaker 5: He started, I think they probably listened to what they
Speaker 5: list him at.
Speaker 4: I think so. Okay, I think so. I think he's
Speaker 4: bigger and he's stockier than what I think I thought
Speaker 4: that he was before. Okay, Okay, going next, Savannah.
Speaker 6: Yes, I just changed my mind last minute.
Speaker 4: Oh you did well. You wrote it down on your
Speaker 4: legal pad.
Speaker 6: I wrote it down real quick. Oh, yes, that's what
Speaker 6: so you can remember it precisely. Bill. Okay, I'm going
Speaker 6: with the Cowboys winning twenty four to fourteen.
Speaker 5: Okay, wow, big defensive effort.
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna have a very big defensive effort. However,
Speaker 6: as much as I am looking forward to seeing our
Speaker 6: defense play this weekend, we need to score points and
Speaker 6: so my click to pick this week will be Tony Pollard. Okay,
Speaker 6: I'm going with at least one touchdown for him. I
Speaker 6: really liked his attitude this week when we had chatted
Speaker 6: with him in the press conference. I just think he
Speaker 6: you know, you're coming off a loss from the Bills.
Speaker 6: It was a tough time for this whole team, but
Speaker 6: he had a really good mindset going into this week
Speaker 6: and moving on was his biggest concept. Move on, get
Speaker 6: onto the next game, and there was a lot of
Speaker 6: positivity there. So I'm going with Tony Pollard.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, I'm up, eure up.
Speaker 5: These teams are quite similar in so many different areas.
Speaker 5: So I've got the Cowboys winning thirty two to thirty.
Speaker 4: And wait, wait thirty two.
Speaker 5: Thirty yes too, just don't worry about how you get
Speaker 5: there thirty two.
Speaker 4: Do you think the Cowboys have ever scored finished a
Speaker 4: game with thirty two points?
Speaker 5: It could be a first.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, go ahead.
Speaker 5: They scored thirty three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thirty three is not that is not weare in common.
Speaker 4: Thirty two is weird?
Speaker 5: Well, it's the holiday season. You never know.
Speaker 4: Thirty two to thirty and I think that might be
Speaker 4: the first time in the history of the league there's
Speaker 4: been a final score of thirty two to third. That's
Speaker 4: I'm all about right, very good, okay.
Speaker 5: And pick to click, and I'm going to stick with
Speaker 5: us until it works. It's going to be DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 5: because there's a good chance he's going up against a
Speaker 5: backup offensive lineman on the Cowboys left side of the
Speaker 5: defensive front, Kendall Lamb, and he will make one significant
Speaker 5: play that turns this game around.
Speaker 6: That I like it.
Speaker 4: Okay, So d Law is your guy.
Speaker 5: And I need to go talk to him and just
Speaker 5: to let him know that you better do something. Darn it.
Speaker 4: Now. He did some stuff last week, Yes he did.
Speaker 5: He was the best defensive lineman out there making run stops.
Speaker 5: And you know they're going to run on the edge.
Speaker 5: So d Laws set the edge, buddy.
Speaker 4: You know what the Cowboys need to do defensively more
Speaker 4: than anything is play under control.
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean, like smart, A.
Speaker 4: Lot of it, yeah, a lot of it. Last week
Speaker 4: against Buffalo was just being out of control. I mean,
Speaker 4: and and a lot of reason for mistackles and stuff
Speaker 4: when you're playing out of control. Anyway, all right, I
Speaker 4: was just looking through the history of the Cowboys Dolphins.
Speaker 5: There we go, rivalry.
Speaker 6: Get ready for the story?
Speaker 4: How many times? Okay? This will be the sixteenth meeting
Speaker 4: between the Cowboys and the Dolphins. The Cowboys lead the
Speaker 4: all time series eight to seven. Okay, regular season all
Speaker 4: tied up at seven to seven as we started the show,
Speaker 4: Cowboys won the Super Bowl over the Dolphins in January sixteenth,
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy two. But since then, it's seven wins for Dallas,
Speaker 4: seven wins for Miami. How many times in those in
Speaker 4: the fifteen meetings between these two teams, has Dallas surpassed
Speaker 4: thirty points against the.
Speaker 6: Dolphins sixteen times?
Speaker 4: Two times two times thirty seven to twenty win in
Speaker 4: two thousand and seven, and the last meeting in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 4: Dallas won thirty one to six, the only times that
Speaker 4: they've gone over twenty nine points in this series. On
Speaker 4: the other hand, Miami, How many times has Miami scored
Speaker 4: over twenty eight points against the Cowboys once? Once?
Speaker 5: How about that?
Speaker 4: It was where did it go?
Speaker 10: Go?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: Year?
Speaker 4: One time? In two thousand and three, forty to twenty one,
Speaker 4: the Dolphins beat the Cowboys. The only time they've gone
Speaker 4: over thirty points against Dallas in the fifteen games that
Speaker 4: they play.
Speaker 5: Two thousand and three, So that's when Bill Parcells squared
Speaker 5: off against Dave Wantstett, which, by the way, the last
Speaker 5: time the Dolphins won a division title was two thousand.
Speaker 4: And eight, fifteen years ago.
Speaker 5: And I mentioned yesterday, didn't I the last time they've
Speaker 5: gone this many winning seasons in a row. This is four.
Speaker 5: It was ninety seven through two thousand and three. Jimmy
Speaker 5: Johnson Dave once.
Speaker 4: Then there you go that all right, So having said
Speaker 4: that about these thirty point games, I'm going to go
Speaker 4: with will continue the trend. Both teams under thirty points
Speaker 4: in this game and the Cowboys win twenty seven twenty
Speaker 4: three over the Dolphins. And on this Christmas weekend? Can
Speaker 4: I have two picks to click?
Speaker 5: Now? Why not give me the corny one?
Speaker 4: And by the way, I'm gonna go shot by the way.
Speaker 5: We heard from Nate and Frisco. Yeah, wow, Bill Rudolph.
Speaker 4: Really, I'm going with the Lion and the Lamb this weekend.
Speaker 4: Micah on defense. We can't pick Micah, so it's going
Speaker 4: to be the Lamb on offense and not Miami's lamb.
Speaker 4: Who spells it La Lamb? In a major it is
Speaker 4: c D Lamb on Christmas Eve, my pick to click
Speaker 4: missed the major thing?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: All right? Wait?
Speaker 7: Wait?
Speaker 4: What was the pod of the pod PODK was? I
Speaker 4: can't remember? With the most receptions in the game, player
Speaker 4: with the most receptions in the.
Speaker 5: Games got lamb?
Speaker 4: C D.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take waddle.
Speaker 6: I'm going.
Speaker 4: I knew you were going to. In fact, I was
Speaker 4: going to shout out Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, and Merry Christmas.
Speaker 6: Yes, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 5: I guess we should have played jingle Bells instead of Stampede.
Speaker 4: I think we should play Rudolph myself.
Speaker 6: Right, Everson, we will see you on Monday, all right, and.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was a good endur right there, Savannah, And
Speaker 4: for the rest of you, we will see you on Tuesday.
Speaker 4: But dude, join the Everson for his Off the Walls
Speaker 4: Christmas edition of Mixed Shots on Monday.
