Speaker 3: the SWBC podcast studio tribute to the pic to click
Speaker 3: Savannah hu Mooler, Thank you It was me. No, it's
Speaker 3: Savannah for making it back from Sofi Stadium last night.
Speaker 4: I made it back. Get it.
Speaker 3: Well, you you didn't have to put any effort into
Speaker 3: your return trip right.
Speaker 4: I just rolled right in and got thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3: You you were on the charter, and you know how
Speaker 3: much more difficult it is to fly commercial.
Speaker 4: Out of anyway, out of LA.
Speaker 5: I'm surprised I got out of there on time. Normally
Speaker 5: I have a delay at LAX every single time.
Speaker 4: Usually the delay is getting into LAX.
Speaker 6: But five am I was.
Speaker 3: Flight wait five am, flight lands a DFW at ten
Speaker 3: thirty and gets here in time for mixed shots.
Speaker 4: So she's coming wins pick to click, Yeah, she is.
Speaker 3: She is my big to click today.
Speaker 6: Thank you for today.
Speaker 3: Let's go today. And since Everson keeps track of the
Speaker 3: picks to click for now, Savannah keeps the Savannah kept it.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm pretty sure I was closest in with the points.
Speaker 5: I did twenty four fourteen Cowboys.
Speaker 4: That was ten points. Mine was twenty six twenty four
Speaker 4: only two point different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you flew over them both.
Speaker 4: That doesn't matter.
Speaker 6: I'll circle back and get the note.
Speaker 4: Margin I was.
Speaker 3: I was way too high. I was thirty four to
Speaker 3: twenty eight was.
Speaker 4: Two point different. Do what I said. My mark in
Speaker 4: a margin victory was two point twenty four two points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but am I missing.
Speaker 4: Didn't they score seventeen?
Speaker 3: Well? That did?
Speaker 7: I said.
Speaker 3: The different margin of victory was he picked the two
Speaker 3: point margin of victory and the actual margin of victory
Speaker 3: was three points.
Speaker 4: The price is right, they go like this to you. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but this ain't the prices.
Speaker 3: You can't go over on your went.
Speaker 4: I think you somebody last week Everson was claiming victory
Speaker 4: because he had he had the margin, He had the
Speaker 4: margin right, and he didn't have the score.
Speaker 3: Did you what player did you have? Your Paul?
Speaker 4: I had to pick to click right to Dak Prescott,
Speaker 4: I am CD doesn't do what he did seven quarterards.
Speaker 4: The quarterback threw for one hundred and seventeen yards and
Speaker 4: scored a touchdown running and a touchdown passing right and
Speaker 4: had one hundred and nine quarterback rating. There's no dispute here.
Speaker 6: I have Tony Pollard.
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard, he yeah, what did he do?
Speaker 4: Rush ran?
Speaker 3: Who put all the work in on that sixty yard plug?
Speaker 4: Dack Prescott did because he avoided a sack twice and
Speaker 4: threw the ball to Pollard on the run.
Speaker 3: Pollard didn't avoid any tackle or anything.
Speaker 4: And he had twenty seven yards rushing.
Speaker 5: And if he would have caught that touchdown towards the end,
Speaker 5: that would have been great, but that was really impossible.
Speaker 3: Right there there you go. That's right, good position for
Speaker 3: that touchdown too, that's great. Yeah, Tony Pollard.
Speaker 4: And he did catch it, all right, So good that
Speaker 4: we settled that.
Speaker 3: Yes, we did settle it.
Speaker 4: Double victory on this side of the table.
Speaker 3: But the pick to click today is Savannah. And how
Speaker 3: about that win and how much needed was that win?
Speaker 3: The biggest uh, the biggest thing on the charter coming
Speaker 3: home was a sigh of relief.
Speaker 4: No, no, kiddy went into a bible. As DeMarcus Lawrence said,
Speaker 4: he called the win a crucial win. It was very crucial.
Speaker 4: And McCarthy said, we did just enough to win, so
Speaker 4: and he went on to say, we still got a
Speaker 4: ways to go. We're getting there, so yeah, going on
Speaker 4: the road winning and I don't care how you do
Speaker 4: it in this league. A win is a win is
Speaker 4: a win. And if anybody disputes that, we'll go ask
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers in the Eagles after this weekend.
Speaker 3: I haven't done the research on this, but this has
Speaker 3: to rank right up there with the earliest in a
Speaker 3: season that there are no unbeatens left in it?
Speaker 4: Were they popping champagne in Miami?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: You know what occurred to me is what if the
Speaker 4: Dolphins were undefeated, would they have been cheering for this version?
Speaker 4: You know, the Dolphins are wanting to preserve their question undefeated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, preserve your.
Speaker 4: Own fifty years ago seventy two?
Speaker 3: All right, So where do we start on this? It
Speaker 3: was a game that didn't start the way the Cowboys
Speaker 3: wanted it to start, but it ended the way the
Speaker 3: Cowboys wanted it to end.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh, credit to the defense. They did a
Speaker 4: pretty good number on the number five ranked offense in
Speaker 4: the league that the Chargers came into the game with,
Speaker 4: held them to two hundred and seventy two points. I
Speaker 4: think one of the yards, I'm sorry. Uh. And one
Speaker 4: of the things we were concerned about was their rush
Speaker 4: defense after giving up one hundred and seventy yards to
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers, and they held the Chargers to
Speaker 4: fifty three yards rushing and turned Herbert into kind of
Speaker 4: a common quarterback. And even though he was only sacked once,
Speaker 4: they put a lot of pressure on him and he
Speaker 4: finished with an eighty four completion percent or a quarterback rating,
Speaker 4: and his completion percentage was way down from what he
Speaker 4: was doing going into the game, completing seventy one percent
Speaker 4: of his passes. So in this game, he completed seventy
Speaker 4: percent of his passes. So credit to the defense and
Speaker 4: making plays at the end just when they needed plays made.
Speaker 4: They didn't have a sack the entire game until Micah
Speaker 4: sacked him on that last possession after DeMarcus Lawrence did
Speaker 4: a heck of a job. I think it was first
Speaker 4: in five and he held Eckler three. Then they got
Speaker 4: the sack, and then Damone Clark got the pressure and
Speaker 4: Stefan Gilmour the interception, and overcame eleven penalties for eighty
Speaker 4: five yards. They ended up throwing no, I'm sorry, yeah, eleven.
Speaker 4: So they ended up throwing twenty flags in the game,
Speaker 4: twenty that were taking the Yeah, right, I bet that
Speaker 4: looked good on television.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was listening as I always do, to serious
Speaker 3: NFL radio my drive in and they and they were
Speaker 3: talking about what an entertaining game that was to watch
Speaker 3: and what I was watching last night. I'm like, another flag,
Speaker 3: another penalty, I mean it was one after another.
Speaker 4: And then the and then that doesn't account for the
Speaker 4: one they missed, and we'll spend a whole segment on
Speaker 4: that punt a bunch of BSI.
Speaker 5: Can you tell we're a little tired today.
Speaker 3: Vicky, Vicky Mickey. He spent We spent all last week
Speaker 3: having to endure Mickey. Now this week we only get
Speaker 3: a couple of days. Savanna, are you here with us tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Or you know she's on the mixed crew tomorrow?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, we got Christie Scales here with us
Speaker 3: tomorrow at noon. And so anyway, Mickey's much better after
Speaker 3: a win than he is after a loss. All yeah, yes,
Speaker 3: so this is this is the Mickey who's name.
Speaker 4: They need me on the committee with the rules.
Speaker 6: You know, I agree to fix. Agree.
Speaker 4: The other thing they need to fix is not have
Speaker 4: the teams crossing each other before the game starts for
Speaker 4: warm ups. This isn't college where they all got to
Speaker 4: come out the same tunnel. Right and San Francisco pulled
Speaker 4: their same bs before the game with Cleveland, tried to
Speaker 4: start a fight, just like they did with the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Right got in the way of the kicker last air
Speaker 4: and did it again this year. They were they were
Speaker 4: doing some rehab and it was right where Brandon Aubrey
Speaker 4: was warming up at San Francisco. And they did it
Speaker 4: again and it was the same guys, Deebo, Samuel Trent Williams.
Speaker 4: Is it Brandon Ayuk yep and one of their other
Speaker 4: offensive linemen get in a tussle with Cleveland before the game.
Speaker 4: So the Cowboys are coming out and they're coming down
Speaker 4: their sideline.
Speaker 3: Well the Chargers you're talking about now? Chargers?
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Chargers are their DB's are doing some drill
Speaker 4: and they're doing on the Cowboys sideline right by the
Speaker 4: bench where the team was running through. And then that
Speaker 4: thing breaks out right, and that's what they say they
Speaker 4: do all the time. But it's like warm up on
Speaker 4: your own sideline. What do you got to do at
Speaker 4: the other sideline? Somebody said, well, it's half the field,
Speaker 4: and I go, well, why don't you divide the field
Speaker 4: down the middle instead of across the fifty yard line?
Speaker 4: That would save a lot of problems, right.
Speaker 6: Micky texted me, he was like, did you see what
Speaker 6: just happened?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: What's going on? I was. I was on the other side,
Speaker 6: on the opposite side.
Speaker 4: Of the sideline, so I dida the bench.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the yeah Cowboys, and I was I didn't exactly
Speaker 5: realize what happened until later, but they were actually pretty
Speaker 5: scrappy still during the game. Oh yeah, no, like it
Speaker 5: was just kinda they were going after it all.
Speaker 3: Right, So what was the scene like there last night?
Speaker 5: I will actually paint the picture for the fan engagement
Speaker 5: when when I talk about how many Cowboys fans were there,
Speaker 5: it was nuts to me.
Speaker 6: It was like fifty to fifty.
Speaker 5: And I almost kind of felt bad because the people
Speaker 5: that I went with it was my sister and her friend.
Speaker 5: They're big Chargers fans, so I'm wearing my Cowboys stuff,
Speaker 5: they're wearing the Charger stuff.
Speaker 6: Yes, thank you, Chris.
Speaker 4: And uh but you were probably in the majority.
Speaker 5: Yeah, But that's the thing is every other seat was
Speaker 5: a Chargers and then a Cowboys fan. Chargers fan, Cowboys fan.
Speaker 5: It was so loud from the Cowboys side.
Speaker 6: It was just crazy to me.
Speaker 4: Oh, they started doing the chat when when San Diego Sandy,
Speaker 4: I knew it, I'd do it when the Chargers had
Speaker 4: the ball right, and it was like they almost had
Speaker 4: to go silent. Account Well, you could.
Speaker 3: Tell when Herbert is trying to hear in his headset
Speaker 3: in his helmet, the play being called in and he's
Speaker 3: having to cover his you know, helmet, his ears to
Speaker 3: be able to hear what's being transmitted when they've got
Speaker 3: the ball, obviously, and you could tell on I had
Speaker 3: comments from people at work last night. They were saying, man,
Speaker 3: it sounds like it's a home game for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: On television, it sounded that way. I can only imagine
Speaker 3: what it's like in person.
Speaker 6: It was crazy. It surprised me. It really did.
Speaker 4: Well. That's what used to happen when they played in
Speaker 4: San Diego, because I remember the one year the Cowboys
Speaker 4: opened the season and at San Diego and they put
Speaker 4: the Chargers put a premium on buying a single game
Speaker 4: ticket for that game with the Cowboys because they knew
Speaker 4: what was coming, and so to buy a single game
Speaker 4: ticket for that you had to buy a single game
Speaker 4: ticket for another home game. They made you buy two
Speaker 4: games if you wanted the Cowboys game. Trying to hold them.
Speaker 3: And so what did sounds? So were they able to
Speaker 3: hold the Cowboy fans down with that? There are much
Speaker 3: more Cowboy fans though, at Sofi Stadium than there were
Speaker 3: at Jack Murphy Stadium, right, or not.
Speaker 4: I don't know it.
Speaker 3: Was because you got to think of from the Chargers perspective.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're no longer San Diego's team, obviously, and
Speaker 3: so San Diego's bailed on. They're not going to drive
Speaker 3: up to LA to support that. And then they haven't
Speaker 3: been in LA long enough to really establish a Charger
Speaker 3: fan base in such a mixed bag of fans anyway
Speaker 3: in LA because they didn't have football for years whatever,
Speaker 3: And so the Rams are kind of in the same
Speaker 3: boat themselves, even though they've been there in the back.
Speaker 4: But at Jack Murphy, this was at a time I'm
Speaker 4: talking into two thousands, so they weren't very good, and
Speaker 4: so the Cowboy fans would overrun that stadium and they
Speaker 4: were trying to hold it down. But anyway, and there's.
Speaker 3: So many Cowboys fans in California to be here, and.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 4: if they can find players for stuff like that. But
Speaker 4: I did see after they broke everything up, the White
Speaker 4: hat Land Clark went and put the headset on and
Speaker 4: actually had the tablet, the replay tablet out and they
Speaker 4: were reviewing what happened. So I'm wondering if they could
Speaker 4: still find guys.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think so.
Speaker 4: Even though they didn't penalize in it, I believe they
Speaker 4: can throw people out of the game, even in them.
Speaker 3: They were probably checking to make sure at just how
Speaker 3: bad the incident was and if punches were thrown, well
Speaker 3: there was, whether it merited whether it merited an ejection.
Speaker 3: Because they were in the field of play and when
Speaker 3: it's happening.
Speaker 4: I don't think they could have judged who started it
Speaker 4: because it just kind of exploded like taking a match.
Speaker 4: Eckler took a friendly fire, yes, he did, just his helmet.
Speaker 4: He walked into that one too.
Speaker 3: It was hilarious.
Speaker 4: I think it was Foler.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fowler got him, but man, he walked into trying
Speaker 3: to pull one of his players back, and Fowler swung
Speaker 3: and hit him in the face.
Speaker 4: Here was a cowboy. I don't know if it was
Speaker 4: a coach or a helper dude in the middle of
Speaker 4: it and he got blasted.
Speaker 3: A helper dude in the helper dude.
Speaker 4: It wasn't. It wasn't.
Speaker 3: That's what we are on this show. Well, you're Mickey's helper.
Speaker 3: I'm a helper dude.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm cool.
Speaker 3: With that okay, Well we continue with mix shots. It's
Speaker 3: Mickey and his helper. Dudes. When we come back and
Speaker 3: you're injest a moallment.
Speaker 7: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 8: And they snapped the fresh guy who looks white. It's
Speaker 8: not there. He escaped flapped. He'll look for a French style.
Speaker 7: Just like football. When it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 7: to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com,
Speaker 7: I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've
Speaker 7: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,
Speaker 7: and trade crypto currency.
Speaker 8: Prescott's gonna run this himself, run it up the middle,
Speaker 8: and he scores.

Speaker 9: You know that sound anywhere? It's the crisp crunch, that
Speaker 9: first nacho chip with its perfect cheese to sour cream ratio,
Speaker 9: sitting atop a layer of delicious beans. It's a sip
Speaker 9: away from perfection. That's what we're looking for at a delicious,
Speaker 9: refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana. Because while
Speaker 9: you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 9: savory topping, there's no topping of school PEPSI finish nachos
Speaker 9: better with PEPSI.
Speaker 3: That's what I like.

Speaker 5: Shots, k Post Roofing and Waterproofing, the official roofer of
Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys. Nicky, do we want to get into
Speaker 5: the return?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: Should we kick it off with.
Speaker 4: That before we analyze the game?
Speaker 3: And sure?
Speaker 4: How well the cops? So sure? Here is the pool report.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're talking about the punt. Writ the punt that was,
Speaker 3: how are you going to do?
Speaker 4: They called it muffed. He didn't muff it. He didn't
Speaker 4: catch it because he got run over, all right, he
Speaker 4: didn't touch it. Now, I understand what the ruling is
Speaker 4: because if you're engaged with the guy that's trying to
Speaker 4: cover the punt, then it's your fault if you get
Speaker 4: pushed in to the returner. Well, if you go back
Speaker 4: and look at it, Tolbert wasn't engaged until Samuel engaged
Speaker 4: him and pushed him into turpin. And not only did
Speaker 4: he push him into it, it could have been hands
Speaker 4: to the face or a face mask if you go
Speaker 4: back and stop it as soon as they did. They
Speaker 4: didn't call that. Now, the ruling on the field was
Speaker 4: Cowboys ball because they thought the Chargers player touched the
Speaker 4: punt first and if the punting team touched the punt first,
Speaker 4: the ball and it's loose. As a return team, you
Speaker 4: can pick the ball up without any hesitation and pick
Speaker 4: it up and run and if you happen to fumble it,
Speaker 4: then it goes back to the spot that you picked
Speaker 4: it up because they touched it first, and did They
Speaker 4: did the pool report with Walt Anderson, who I'm guessing
Speaker 4: wasn't even there, so he's watching probably in.
Speaker 3: New York, NFL Senior Vice President of Officiating, Walt.
Speaker 4: Anderson, So they asked him, why didn't fair catch interference
Speaker 4: apply because the punt returner was actually contacted by his
Speaker 4: own teammate who was actively blocking a Chargers player. And
Speaker 4: when a teammate of the returner is actively blocking that teammate,
Speaker 4: it's responsible for his own contact. Even it's into the
Speaker 4: player who signals for a fair catch, so no contact.
Speaker 4: So the contact was actually by the teammate of Dallas
Speaker 4: who had signal for a catch. So they the Chargers
Speaker 4: initiated the review.
Speaker 6: Well, they challenged it.
Speaker 4: They challenged it. Yeah, so it says here there wasn't
Speaker 4: a ruling on the field of a change of possession.
Speaker 4: It was just a normal punt with an illegal touch.
Speaker 4: If it had ruled on the field initially that the
Speaker 4: ball was touched by the receiver, then it would have
Speaker 4: been awarded to the kicking team. Then it would have
Speaker 4: been a booth review to either confirm that's what happened,
Speaker 4: and it would have been reversed. Then we would have
Speaker 4: had changed it. But because why is this stuck here?
Speaker 4: But because it was ruled on the field that it
Speaker 4: was not touched by the receiving team, That's why it
Speaker 4: was a coach's challenge. Okay, So where's the rest of
Speaker 4: it because they had to determine I thought their guy
Speaker 4: dived on the ball first, and then it came out again, right, Well,
Speaker 4: they're basically saying they're saying, oh, he explained was it
Speaker 4: was a coaches challenge. He didn't explain who touched the
Speaker 4: ball first. So look at that I'm watching, It didn't
Speaker 4: look like the Chargers player touched it first.
Speaker 3: I think you can make the case that Jalen Tolbert's
Speaker 3: left hand got on the football before the Chargers player.
Speaker 3: But I'm not. I'm just looking at one angle right here.
Speaker 3: The issue that I have with it is, Okay, I
Speaker 3: understand that Jalen Tolbert is blocking, you see Taylor or
Speaker 3: he's they're engaged, but it's Taylor who an issue, who
Speaker 3: forces the blocker back into Turpin. And it appears, at
Speaker 3: least on the review that I'm the replay I'm looking
Speaker 3: at that the defender makes contact with Turpin.
Speaker 4: Right well, because he ended up throwing a selbow.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a there's a certain uh, there's a
Speaker 3: certain area that the defender had that the receiver has
Speaker 3: the right to to catch the football. And if the
Speaker 3: contact is initiated by the defensive player, that destroys that
Speaker 3: window of opportunity that Turpin has. And he makes clearly
Speaker 3: he was contacted and he fell back, then that's a
Speaker 3: fair catch interference.
Speaker 6: But because Tolbert hit him initially.
Speaker 3: Even because he was they were saying that because the
Speaker 3: blocker was engaged with the Chargers player, that it's not
Speaker 3: fair catch interference. But actually it's the Chargers player who
Speaker 3: forces the Turpin not to be able to catch the football,
Speaker 3: and they even get to it, it's his force of contact.
Speaker 4: They even got it wrong on the on the play
Speaker 4: by play, it says Jalen Tolbert muffs catch. He didn't
Speaker 4: muff to catch. So they're saying, they're saying he touched it.
Speaker 3: He touched it before the Chargers player. He's thinking they
Speaker 3: ruled on their and.
Speaker 4: You can't fault him. He doesn't know that, right.
Speaker 3: He thinks that the ball hit turping right, and so
Speaker 3: he's scrambling.
Speaker 4: After he can't see it and everybody else.
Speaker 3: And just like the Charger player is scrambling from too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's another rule change that needs to take place,
Speaker 4: or tell them to look at what happened.
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, the cause for the misplay was and
Speaker 3: it was an interference that was forced by the Chargers player.
Speaker 3: It wasn't Tobert who was blocking on the play who
Speaker 3: forced the fair catch inter Yeah, he got he blocked right.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 3: I mean, so you can't block in front of the
Speaker 3: receiving the punt returner, well.
Speaker 4: You better not get pushed in, right. So but anyway,
Speaker 4: it was a big play in the game because they
Speaker 4: gave him the ball at the twenty yard.
Speaker 3: Line and they got a fifteen yard pen day. They
Speaker 3: got him onto the five yard line right next play
Speaker 3: and then they score a touchdown.
Speaker 4: And now it's a tie ball, right. Yeah, it was
Speaker 4: seven to eleven to go. So so both of their
Speaker 4: both of their touchdowns came on a short field right, right,
Speaker 4: so they held him to field goals. So from a
Speaker 4: defensive standpoint, Uh, even though they couldn't seem to get
Speaker 4: Herbert on the ground, Uh, they played pretty well.
Speaker 3: I think I saw eight quarterback pressures.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, and he avoided several sacks.
Speaker 6: Right, he really did.
Speaker 5: Actually, he was great at kind of realizing when he
Speaker 5: needed to run and just get out of certain situations.
Speaker 5: He was he was pretty spot on with that last night.
Speaker 3: All right, let me ask you this question going into
Speaker 3: that game, if you were to rank or not you,
Speaker 3: but in general on a national scale, Okay, what do
Speaker 3: you think the general consensus of opinion is on where
Speaker 3: these four quarterbacks ranked coming into this weekend? Brock Party,
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, justin Herbert and Dak Prescott, how would they
Speaker 3: have been? How would they be ranked by the Cowboys
Speaker 3: fans at large across the nation? One?
Speaker 4: Four, one, two, three and ten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and those four in that Rock Party. In fact,
Speaker 3: Brock Party was leading the league and quarterback rating coming
Speaker 3: in this weekend. Right, Okay, Jalen Hurts coming off of
Speaker 3: Super Bowl season and Justin Herbert, as most people have
Speaker 3: him as a top seven eight quarterback in the league.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure all right, coming out of the weekend.
Speaker 3: Let's just say you had just the evidence of this weekend, right,
Speaker 3: those four quarterbacks did this weekend, how would they be ranked?
Speaker 3: We reverse exactly. Dak would be the reverse rock Party
Speaker 3: was very pedestrian in his numbers when he didn't have
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel for most all of the game and lost
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey, and his left tackle Trent Williams was playing
Speaker 3: on one wheel in the late in that game, and
Speaker 3: Hurtz throws three picks, including a horrible interception that led
Speaker 3: to their loss at the end of the game. And
Speaker 3: then Justin Herbert, Justin Herbert had Keenan Allen wide open twice,
Speaker 3: not once, but twice in that football game that could
Speaker 3: have easily resulted in touchdowns like and missed it badly.
Speaker 4: The one that Deran Bland fell down on.
Speaker 3: That one and the stutter go where he was wide open.
Speaker 3: It was defending on that one too, and late in
Speaker 3: the first half and he bit on the stop right right,
Speaker 3: and I mean, I could not believe in Troy Aikman
Speaker 3: couldn't believe it either that that he on the first
Speaker 3: one especially, he missed. I mean, he missed on both
Speaker 3: of them badly, right right, And I'm one, Wow, we
Speaker 3: hear we hear fans not saying necessarily Cowboys fans, but
Speaker 3: are critical of the quarterback that plays here on a
Speaker 3: week to week basis. I wonder what do they say
Speaker 3: about Justin Herbert in La See.
Speaker 6: I still think Justin Herbert performed pretty well him.
Speaker 5: I mean, when you're comparing him and Dak Prescott last night,
Speaker 5: they both I was last night, Dak definitely outplayed him.
Speaker 5: I just think Justin Herbert he's still a very consistent quarterback.
Speaker 5: I just think he had a lot of pressure on him,
Speaker 5: which he'd shown, which was shown from our defact he should.
Speaker 4: Have been sacked five times, and he exactly avoid That's why.
Speaker 3: But that's why you can't take a one week sample
Speaker 3: on players or quarterbacks in this league. They will have
Speaker 3: off days, there are circumstances. It's a long season, and
Speaker 3: so that's why you have to let the whole season
Speaker 3: play out right before you're making judgments on, oh, this
Speaker 3: guy can't play or that guy can't play.
Speaker 4: And it's and for that very reason. I think it's
Speaker 4: a good thing that the Cowboys have their bye. Although
Speaker 4: everybody thinks, oh, they can work harder now, Well, they'll
Speaker 4: practice once probably if that yeah, right, because they're not
Speaker 4: practicing today and it's already Tuesday, Wednesday. You might do
Speaker 4: a little something if they want.
Speaker 3: My understanding is they're going to let them go. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then they're back on and then you've got to
Speaker 3: have four consecutive days. They'll be a four consecutive days off,
Speaker 3: will be Thursday through Sunday, and they're back here Monday.
Speaker 3: You'll get ready for a killer stretch of the season
Speaker 3: coming up here.
Speaker 4: So you can do a little bit more on Monday,
Speaker 4: but that's it, and then tuesday's a day off, right,
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's not like you work harder and fixed
Speaker 4: all the things that need to be fixed. And offensively,
Speaker 4: they still need things fixed because I don't want to
Speaker 4: finish the game, and my quarterback's the leading rusher.
Speaker 3: Well and the other thing. And we'll get we'll get
Speaker 3: to that when we come back here at a moment.
Speaker 3: One another thought on Justin Herbert. They played Kansas City
Speaker 3: this week, and I would not at all be surprised
Speaker 3: because this is what happens in this league. It's a
Speaker 3: bounce back league. Just like San Francisco has their best
Speaker 3: win of the year over the Cowboys the week before,
Speaker 3: and then they go to Cleveland and they lose, just
Speaker 3: like Philadelphia, it's unbeaten. And then they go to the
Speaker 3: Jets and they lose, just like the Cowboys have their
Speaker 3: worst game of the season. They come back and they
Speaker 3: win over the Chargers the next week, a very tight fit. Well,
Speaker 3: you watch Justin Herbert Well go to Kansas City next weekend,
Speaker 3: this coming weekend, and he'll have a three touchdown, three
Speaker 3: hundred yard game, and the Chargers will play Kansas City
Speaker 3: a one score game.
Speaker 6: I mean, Bill, I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 3: This is what happens in this league. It's like one
Speaker 3: week you can't do anything, and then the next week
Speaker 3: you're all world.
Speaker 6: I'd love to see the Chargers beat Kansas City. I
Speaker 6: would love to see it.
Speaker 3: And they're in the position that the Cowboys if they
Speaker 3: want to get to where they got last year, which
Speaker 3: is in the playoffs, they went ten and seven, and
Speaker 3: the pressure is on them at two and three to
Speaker 3: do something this week against the best team in their division,
Speaker 3: if not the best team, one of the top two
Speaker 3: or three teams in the league. All right, we continue
Speaker 3: with more mix shots in just a moment.
Speaker 7: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and.
Speaker 8: They snapped the press. Guy who looks right, it's not there.
Speaker 8: He escapes left. He'll look full a first down.
Speaker 7: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 7: to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com,

Speaker 10: It's a sip.
Speaker 9: Away from perfection. That's what we're looking for at a delicious,
Speaker 9: freshing pepsi. And we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana because while
Speaker 9: you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 9: savory topping. There's no topping of cool PEPSI finish nachos
Speaker 9: better with PEPSI.
Speaker 6: That's what I like.

Speaker 3: Okay, do big time players make big time plays at
Speaker 3: big time moments in games.
Speaker 4: Yes they do.
Speaker 3: Yes, That's how the Cowboys won that game on that
Speaker 3: last series.
Speaker 4: And we should talk about that with the amount of
Speaker 4: pressure and I think you already pointed out that the
Speaker 4: Cowboys had eight pressures or hits on Justin Herbert, but
Speaker 4: they had no sacks until Micah Parsons I think it
Speaker 4: was second.
Speaker 3: It was second and two at the thirty three yard line.
Speaker 4: Right, and Micah finally finally beat Slater I believe it was,
Speaker 4: and got the sack for minus eight yards.
Speaker 5: So that was Micah's sixth sack of the season and
Speaker 5: his thirty one and a half career sacks are tied
Speaker 5: with Miles Garrett for the eighth most by an NFL
Speaker 5: player through his first thirty nine games.
Speaker 4: Thirty nine games, and it was huge because he was
Speaker 4: getting run past the quarterback most of the time. And
Speaker 4: we also should point out that here's how the Cowboys
Speaker 4: compensated for the loss of Leyton Vanderish Dumone Clark, I'm
Speaker 4: guessing played the most plays of his career. He ended
Speaker 4: up playing I want to say, seventy two snaps, so
Speaker 4: he missed one defensive snap ninety nine percent, and that'll
Speaker 4: be the highest I bet he's played. Michael Parsons played
Speaker 4: more sixty eight snaps ninety three percent, and Marquise Bell,
Speaker 4: who I thought had one heck of a game, thirty
Speaker 4: nine snaps fifty three percent. So what they were doing
Speaker 4: basically was they were playing Michah Parsons and Bell a
Speaker 4: heck of a lot more than normal, and Bell ended
Speaker 4: up I think second on the team, took Clark with
Speaker 4: seven tackles. R Clark led the team with eight tackles.
Speaker 4: And then, and for sure, in the second half, because
Speaker 4: I kept marketing it down, they started playing a true
Speaker 4: four man front and they were lining Parsons up as
Speaker 4: a linebacker off the line of scrimmage, and a lot
Speaker 4: of times on the line of scrimmage with five guys
Speaker 4: on the line, So he ended up playing a whole
Speaker 4: bunch of snaps at linebacker. And they did a heck
Speaker 4: of a job of holding Eckler down to a reasonable
Speaker 4: amount rushing guards.
Speaker 3: Right, how are they using Parsons as the linebacker? As
Speaker 3: a linebacker? What was it?
Speaker 4: He was standing up next to Demon Clark so off
Speaker 4: the line, I guess he would have probably been the
Speaker 4: week with no Okay, so when Bell wasn't out there,
Speaker 4: so it was one of the two usually at the
Speaker 4: at the linebacker spot.
Speaker 3: So it was a four man front with two linebackers.
Speaker 4: Yes, a normal four to three in Nickel, right.
Speaker 6: And that's what we wanted, That's what we kind of
Speaker 6: talked about.
Speaker 4: We talked about and uh, I thought they did a
Speaker 4: good job against the run, as evidenced by the stats right,
Speaker 4: fifty three yards rushing. They held Eckler to fourteen carries
Speaker 4: for twenty seven yards one point nine a carry. His
Speaker 4: long was six. Herbert had their long at nine. And
Speaker 4: it was a scramble, so.
Speaker 3: Very similar to the Cowboys stats rush lash football.
Speaker 4: Neither team could run the ball.
Speaker 3: Pollard was fifteen carries for thirty yards right two yards
Speaker 3: of carry, and the Cowboys got the bulk of their
Speaker 3: rushing yards from Dak.
Speaker 4: There was no holes. The offensive line has got to
Speaker 4: get better because Dak saved him.
Speaker 3: About you know what, it's happening all across the league,
Speaker 3: and you look at the rushing stats across the league
Speaker 3: this weekend and they were very It was down across
Speaker 3: the board and scoring was down too. There were only
Speaker 3: two teams had buys this week, so thirty of the
Speaker 3: thirty two teams played twenty Five of the thirty teams
Speaker 3: that played this week in Week six scored twenty one
Speaker 3: or fewer points. There were only five teams in the
Speaker 3: entire league that scored more than twenty one points this week,
Speaker 3: and only two teams had more than thirty points.
Speaker 6: And why do we think that is?
Speaker 3: I think it's because now you're coming into Week six,
Speaker 3: every team had played at least four games, most had
Speaker 3: played five, and defenses adjust to what offenses are doing
Speaker 3: to start the season, and so they've got Typically when
Speaker 3: your scout any game at this point in the season,
Speaker 3: once you get four games under your belt. You just
Speaker 3: go back the last four games. That's what the scouts
Speaker 3: usually do. You go back the last four games, and
Speaker 3: so you've got a good sample size there of the
Speaker 3: tendencies that offenses have and defense is adjusted to it.
Speaker 3: Now what will happen is offenses will tweak what they're doing,
Speaker 3: and it's a back and forth. You know, you had
Speaker 3: some backup quarterbacks playing as well, but not any more
Speaker 3: than what you normally have in a week six of
Speaker 3: a season. But and so that that also affects it.
Speaker 3: And there's some weather around the country too, But it's
Speaker 3: still unusual to have twenty five out of thirty teams
Speaker 3: that scored twenty one or fewer points.
Speaker 4: So there's before Savannah, there's a bunch of unscouted looks
Speaker 4: because you don't know what teams are doing. Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 4: big on that. Now you got scouted looks. So Bill's
Speaker 4: right now watched the offenses have to adjust. Dak's been
Speaker 4: sacked eight times in these last two games. He got
Speaker 4: hit six times and they had seven tackles for losses.
Speaker 4: So there you know, and Khalil Mack's good, right, Joey
Speaker 4: Bosa is good although he didn't play all that much, his.
Speaker 6: Snaps were he wasn't out there a lot.
Speaker 4: I was saying, his snaps were way down.
Speaker 3: There was something somewhat of a surprise that he was
Speaker 3: active anyway, thirty snaps. He had tow injury as well
Speaker 3: as a hamstring injury.
Speaker 4: But they did a good job of putting pressure on Dak.
Speaker 4: And so this offensive line, now it's the second time
Speaker 4: they've played together, they've practiced together. They need to buckle down. Uh.
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith didn't have a really good game. He struggled
Speaker 4: some and you're going to struggle with Khalil Mack. Just
Speaker 4: last week he had six sacks. So that's got to
Speaker 4: be that's got to be better.
Speaker 3: Who you're giving game balls to fourteen fourteen for sure, Marquise.
Speaker 4: Bell, you know he could always give it to the quarterback.
Speaker 4: But Brandon Cooks was pretty darn good.
Speaker 6: I was about to say, Brandon Cook's Brandon.
Speaker 4: Cook That was your guy, wasn't it.
Speaker 6: That was that your pick to.
Speaker 4: That was a heck of a route he ran for
Speaker 4: the touchdown. Great pass by Dak.
Speaker 3: Talked by Pollard on Derwin James was picking up the
Speaker 3: blitz and it could have affected that he may not
Speaker 3: of got home because Dak was back pedaling and Dak
Speaker 3: was buying time for Brandon to clear on the crosses.
Speaker 4: He was a crossing. He had motioned to the right
Speaker 4: and then went all the way back.
Speaker 3: There there was CD went in motion, so there was
Speaker 3: This was another example of putting a guy in motion
Speaker 3: and it tips off what the way the defense is playing.
Speaker 3: They were in man because the guy was following CD,
Speaker 3: and so Brandon was started on the right side of
Speaker 3: the formation. He was he was tight on the right side.
Speaker 3: Basically he was a few steps away from the light
Speaker 3: from the offensive line gallop on the left side. They
Speaker 3: both ran crossing routes and so uh and Dean Marlowe,
Speaker 3: who was defending Cooks, he didn't. He didn't defend it
Speaker 3: poorly or anything right. Cooks just had a step on him,
Speaker 3: and Cooks has enough speed and so Dak just had
Speaker 3: to back pedal and buy time for him to get
Speaker 3: to where he needed to go and made a great throw.
Speaker 3: But in the meantime, Pollard had to pick up Derwin James,
Speaker 3: which he did to use blitzing from the right side.
Speaker 4: Did you get faked out on Dak's touchdown.
Speaker 3: You know what, I didn't see it live. I did.
Speaker 4: I did too.
Speaker 6: I was like, what just happened?
Speaker 3: I had other responsibilities. We have a seven o'clock newscast,
Speaker 3: and I, yes, we don't have a six o'clock newscast anymore.
Speaker 3: We have a seven o'clock that goes an hour on
Speaker 3: TXA twenty one. And so I was talking Rangers at
Speaker 3: the beginning of the game. I'm talking Rangers. So I
Speaker 3: had to play catch up after the first series of
Speaker 3: the game. So I didn't see it live.
Speaker 4: I thought they had dropped Pollard for a loss. I
Speaker 4: was trying to find my notes, and oh, it was the.
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, Dak was in the end zone.
Speaker 4: It was the defensive end forty eight.
Speaker 5: It was an eighteen yarder to Pu Lutu or something
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 4: I got it. He put a hit on Pollard right,
Speaker 4: and I'm going, oh God, why don't they keep running
Speaker 4: that place?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 4: It goes Dack prancing into the end zone right, and
Speaker 4: I heard I heard Brad's call on it, and he called,
Speaker 4: Dak got the Pollard got stopped for a five yard
Speaker 4: Oh excuse me, my bad.
Speaker 3: You know what, that's something that I'm sure they talked
Speaker 3: to Dak about this past week. I mean, there was
Speaker 3: early in that San Francisco series there was a like
Speaker 3: a zone read like that, right that Dak had running room,
Speaker 3: but he gave the ball to Pollard instead, you know,
Speaker 3: and they probably gave him, hey, it's take a look
Speaker 3: at this because they're they're pinching down on what we're
Speaker 3: trying to do running and there's open space for you,
Speaker 3: and especially in that situation with the fourth down play.
Speaker 5: Yeah, even last night and Dak's press conference, somebody asked him, hey,
Speaker 5: what did you do in those moments when you knew
Speaker 5: you needed to run? And he said, based on everything
Speaker 5: that happened against the forty nine ers, he knew he
Speaker 5: needed to make a couple more rushing places so uses state, right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: he knew he needed to step up a little bit
Speaker 5: more and get some runs in.
Speaker 3: I can't remember. It was the first series of the
Speaker 3: second series against San Francisco. There was a play that
Speaker 3: there was a lot of running room for Dak, but
Speaker 3: he had tried to throw it. Actually he handed off.
Speaker 3: Okay play that I'm talking.
Speaker 4: About, But yeah, that all was good until the Tush push. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I just run a play. I don't think they've tried
Speaker 4: that before.
Speaker 3: I don't think so either.
Speaker 4: Maybe they won't ever again. Since it was less than
Speaker 4: a yard and he didn't even hardly get to the
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, they asked They asked Dak about it,
Speaker 4: and Dak said they needed to push better.
Speaker 3: Better.
Speaker 4: It reminded me of when the practice indoor practice facility
Speaker 4: came down and we were trying to get out the
Speaker 4: door and I was like three or fourth deep, and
Speaker 4: my reaction was, you guys need to push better because
Speaker 4: they can't get the door open.
Speaker 3: And by the way, who's the unsung star of this.
Speaker 4: Game, Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. I mean, they got sixteen straight sixteen.
Speaker 4: Think about it because San Francisco with their rookie kicker
Speaker 4: was in the same position from two yards further forty one.
Speaker 3: Yards third round pick Jake Moody, and.
Speaker 4: Moody missed it. I think those were I think he
Speaker 4: missed an earlier one too, because they were both perfect
Speaker 4: and he missed two. And Dak's now sixteen for sixteen.
Speaker 4: You know, Dak, Brandon Aubrey, sorry, you know, did.
Speaker 3: You hear what? Yeah? Butter, Butter.
Speaker 4: Acts about Aubrey and he says, oh, butter Aubrey, they
Speaker 4: call him butter. That's what he said. He goes he's butter.
Speaker 4: He's smooth.
Speaker 3: He's been like that ever since he walked into Oh
Speaker 3: that's great, and and you want that with your kicker, right,
Speaker 3: it's like an automatic.
Speaker 4: And he later said, he goes in by the way
Speaker 4: he goes He's an athlete, right, he played professionally in soccer.
Speaker 4: He's an athlete. He's just an athlete that's kicking.
Speaker 3: And so yeah, first round draft pick, another first round
Speaker 3: draft pick on this roster.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: Huh he should have been right, Well he was, but MLS, Yes,
Speaker 3: MLS he was.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: That's right. All right. So that does it for this
Speaker 3: crew on mixing shots. And uh, we meet again tomorrow
Speaker 3: at noon.
Speaker 4: Oh you forgot to ask me. See when they win?
Speaker 4: He doesn't ask me. How Missouri do this weekend? Oh?
Speaker 3: Did they play?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: See who did they play? The Vanderbilt again?
Speaker 4: They went to Kentucky and kicked their butts.
Speaker 3: Same team at Georgia beat sixty five to fourteen. That's right, Well.
Speaker 4: They beat him thirty eight to twenty one.
Speaker 3: Were congratulations how about that?
Speaker 7: Good?
Speaker 3: All right? And uh so we will most of us.
Speaker 3: We'll see you tomorrow at noon.
