Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. Just in the nick of time, Mickey
Speaker 1: Spagnola puts his headsets on for another edition of mix
Speaker 1: Shots inside the SWBC podcast studio on a Tuesday here
Speaker 1: at the Star in Frisco. It's a player's off Tuesday,
Speaker 1: but it's not a day off or any of us
Speaker 1: here inside this studio, espacially Chris Man, Chris Beam. That's right,
Speaker 1: he's trying to explain everything to us. He is. We're
Speaker 1: so dense. We we are, you know after that game,
Speaker 1: already figured that out. I think let's lack about that.
Speaker 1: After that game on Sunday, Why did they have a
Speaker 1: day off? They ought to be here at working. You
Speaker 1: gotta tune into this show. They got no idea what
Speaker 1: they're talking about. All right, So here we are, And
Speaker 1: we had an eventful afternoon yesterday, which was the usual
Speaker 1: Monday after a Cowboys game, where Mike McCarthy talks to
Speaker 1: the media and the coordinators talk to the media, and
Speaker 1: what is different from the past Mondays after a Cowboys Sunday?
Speaker 1: Is this one they had more questions to answer? Right? Mickeing? Uh?
Speaker 1: They did? Um and uh, first time in a long
Speaker 1: time he had to address a loss and the coordinators
Speaker 1: more so than Mike. I'm sure Mike's used to it, right,
Speaker 1: And well, I guess Dan Quinn's used to it also,
Speaker 1: dressing after a loss and um he Kellen smart boy?
Speaker 1: Now TCU pull that offer? Well, you know what, where
Speaker 1: did I write that down? I wrote it down. I
Speaker 1: wrote it down. I wrote it down yesterday. I wrote
Speaker 1: it down yesterday afternoon. I'm going, okay, So we're not
Speaker 1: going to hear anything today about Dak being the comeback
Speaker 1: player of the year, offensive player of the year. Probably
Speaker 1: not going to hear anything more more about Trey Von
Speaker 1: Diggs being the NFC defensive get toasted all the time,
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons being the rookie of the year, And probably
Speaker 1: not going to hear anything more about Kellen Moore becoming
Speaker 1: the head coach at Texas Tech. Don't you think that
Speaker 1: we are? But don't you feel that Buffalo gets a
Speaker 1: slight pass in comparison. You know, Tampas gets a pass.
Speaker 1: I bet they're not getting a pass in Buffalo. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna pass. Bet not No. They're saying
Speaker 1: the same stuff on Buffalo bills dot Com. Do you
Speaker 1: think the Saints are getting the pass? I bet not no.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's just that when it's when it
Speaker 1: comes to us, it's like, what are they doing? What
Speaker 1: are they thinking? What? Dad? You're right on those Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they can't wait to vilify us. You know that's true.
Speaker 1: That's true. And and I hear it all the time.
Speaker 1: Tim was gonna be okay. Green Bay is gonna be okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but with that, Oh, what do you think is gonna
Speaker 1: be the doom and gloom today? I was going to Will,
Speaker 1: Will the Packers be okay? They keep down Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be okay. That's all that's all here. Will
Speaker 1: he can he can be eligible on Saturday. He'll be okay.
Speaker 1: No practice for two weeks and he's okay. They had
Speaker 1: to clean up dan Quinn's press conference a little bit.
Speaker 1: A few He has a tendency to drop some I
Speaker 1: wonder if he did that in Atlanta. It is Prescott.
Speaker 1: What did they do? No, not, He's just he's just
Speaker 1: genuine just kind of into you know, he's star vernacular episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: gotta clean this s up. He does know it's being streamed. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think he does, okay, and that people are transcribing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought, you know, time to answer some questions,
Speaker 1: and they did. And so so here we are on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: putting things into perspective. Yeah, hopefully. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I thought Jerry put it in perspective. It's like, how
Speaker 1: is this language? It was fine, Yeah, he was fine,
Speaker 1: and he was very um, matter of fact and you know,
Speaker 1: very uh, I don't know, it was very pregnant even key. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the word I was looking for. You know. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we got things to clean up, but you know, everything's
Speaker 1: not falling apart, you know, and this is the NFL,
Speaker 1: as Steven will go, Yeah, and Asdeven Steven said, Sunday
Speaker 1: you know or Monday. You know, they pay the other
Speaker 1: guys and you know, so the stuff is going to happen.
Speaker 1: And I thought he knew it happened around the league. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think seven things that kind of gives everybody a
Speaker 1: little bit of reprieve. Yeah, look look who else got by,
Speaker 1: you know, and look who they got beat by. You know,
Speaker 1: they were favored to win, and it wasn't just before
Speaker 1: this weekend. You had some odd upsets even before that.
Speaker 1: So right, to me, I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: It just kind of evens the playing field for everyone.
Speaker 1: The injuries, you know, the masking and the all all
Speaker 1: of that. To me, the team that comes out of this,
Speaker 1: it's going to be the better team, not just play
Speaker 1: with but the organization itself. How they handled these problems
Speaker 1: that we're having, and let's just be real, all of
Speaker 1: the things that that hit us, uh well, it was
Speaker 1: the Murphy's law really in that game. Everything that could
Speaker 1: go wrong went wrong and it uh but it did
Speaker 1: shine a light on some things that we better show
Speaker 1: up if we want to talk about going all the way. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's what I like about not good enough just to
Speaker 1: role All right, We're these all the same things that
Speaker 1: we already had problems with and had a little concern about.
Speaker 1: Of course, passing defense, giving up big plays, run defense,
Speaker 1: giving up too many at a time. You know, this
Speaker 1: is the first time it really hit us all at once,
Speaker 1: but all of those things that happened in the game,
Speaker 1: all of us here, we have made mention of it
Speaker 1: and it hasn't gone away yet, which is something that
Speaker 1: was shown in the backup swing tackle playing left tackle
Speaker 1: we talked about. So that was by going to be
Speaker 1: my first question today. What as we go forward now
Speaker 1: reaching the halfway point of the season. At halftime I
Speaker 1: was gonna say at halftime of the Atlantic game, it
Speaker 1: will be the halfway point of the season, so we
Speaker 1: may change our mind by halftime of the Atlantic game.
Speaker 1: The answer to this question, but what is the most
Speaker 1: concerning um thing about this team going into the second
Speaker 1: half of the season, if you could pick one thing
Speaker 1: that is the most concerning for them to get to
Speaker 1: where they want to go as well, Let's let's assume
Speaker 1: we're going to assume that Dak is healthy the rest
Speaker 1: of the way. All right, Okay, Assuming Dak is healthy
Speaker 1: the rest of the way from the evidence that is
Speaker 1: in front of you right now with this team and
Speaker 1: where everybody sits, whether they're on injured reserve or on
Speaker 1: the active roster or you know, not playing lately, or
Speaker 1: or the status of a run defense or whatever it
Speaker 1: might be what's the most the most concerning thing could
Speaker 1: be an end of visual making sure position, It could
Speaker 1: be anything and if you have to touch hands or whatever,
Speaker 1: making sure Tyrant Smith plays at least thirteen games this season.
Speaker 1: I will second that he's not going to play them all.
Speaker 1: And everybody complained about the last what three or four years,
Speaker 1: he always misses three games. Okay, I can deal with
Speaker 1: missing three games. I can't deal with them missing fourteen
Speaker 1: last year. Or you don't want to missing the last
Speaker 1: three games. Yes, we would like for him to sprinkle
Speaker 1: them in throughout the rest. They need him to get
Speaker 1: back on the field because this offense can cure what
Speaker 1: ails them defensively. Well, here's the thing, and I really
Speaker 1: didn't pay attention much because I was at the game.
Speaker 1: It's just so hard to study the game while you're there.
Speaker 1: So you're looking at did we give him too much
Speaker 1: autonomy as a player? Did we trust the tackles too much?
Speaker 1: Because there were times when we had on the left
Speaker 1: side and we took care we protected the right tackle.
Speaker 1: I don't think we protected anyone this game. I think
Speaker 1: were like, okay, go show me what business. Let's show
Speaker 1: me what you can do. Because they've got they just
Speaker 1: lost Vong and you talked about the defensive end, and
Speaker 1: they had their other guy at missing too, and then
Speaker 1: Malake Reid was also out to who So when you
Speaker 1: look at that, do you think he's okay going out there?
Speaker 1: No no short leash this time. Let me see what
Speaker 1: you can do. Talking steal mostly, I'm really not talking Colin,
Speaker 1: but talking steal mostly. Do you think that he didn't
Speaker 1: give him enough protection and that we should in the
Speaker 1: future consider that putting the tight ends there on his side,
Speaker 1: giving him a little chip access or chip help, those
Speaker 1: kind of things didn't seem to be there this last game.
Speaker 1: Or the fact that this was the first time he
Speaker 1: had extended time at left tackle in his life. Maybe
Speaker 1: in high school, I don't know. But Texas Tech as
Speaker 1: a four year starter, he played right tackle, and in
Speaker 1: preseason he got some reps at left tackle, but not
Speaker 1: a lot. And so, and is how big of a
Speaker 1: difference is it for him? Its individually? Yeah? Is it?
Speaker 1: How much of a difference is it for him individually
Speaker 1: to play left tackle as opposed to right tackle? He
Speaker 1: admitted after the game that it was more than he expected. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they started off with I thought the first couple possessions
Speaker 1: a lot of too tight end. Yeah, and then they
Speaker 1: got behind and they kind of got away from it,
Speaker 1: and they got away from the running game also. And
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because you guys have brought
Speaker 1: that to my attention. That's why I'm talking about it.
Speaker 1: Because Tampa game, Collins got that help. Am I correct?
Speaker 1: In the Tampa game, they gave Colins some help. They
Speaker 1: didn't leave alone too often, maybe, yeah, and seeing And
Speaker 1: that's the thing with Collins. Is Collins right now the
Speaker 1: same player he was in twenty nineteen or are on
Speaker 1: September overnight, right, right? But you know I had that
Speaker 1: discussion with Nate because Nate thought, um, his technique wasn't
Speaker 1: real good Collins and he expected more from a technique standpoint.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, I said, Nate, you know, we
Speaker 1: had a really good discussion. I said, he missed time
Speaker 1: in training camp. He didn't play. I don't even know
Speaker 1: if he played in a preseason game. I think maybe
Speaker 1: one quarter at the most a half. He starts the
Speaker 1: opener and then he gets suspended. And you can do
Speaker 1: all the conditioning work you want, but you're not playing
Speaker 1: for football, right right, you know, you're not doing conditioning
Speaker 1: work against the two hundred and ninety pound defensive end
Speaker 1: and can't simulate. And he gets one practice the week
Speaker 1: before in pads, but he's playing fullback or whatever they
Speaker 1: were doing with their inverted wish bone. Uh. And and
Speaker 1: he was the backup tackle. So how many snaps in
Speaker 1: practice does the backup tackles get? Probably a handful, just
Speaker 1: like the backup quarterback. Then the next week it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: it's you, but you only get one practice in pads.
Speaker 1: Uh and then go play and yeah, and everybody was like, well,
Speaker 1: what happened with Leil Collins? I said the same thing
Speaker 1: that would have happened the week before when you all
Speaker 1: wanted to see them out there playing right away after
Speaker 1: one practice. It's it's seven weeks and hadn't played a
Speaker 1: game as well, And I think it did a little him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: week and then and it's a trickle down effect when
Speaker 1: when you're not protecting the pocket, now the quarterbacks got
Speaker 1: to throw on the run. And here's what I got
Speaker 1: in my mind, And you guys tell me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: But when when we look at, well, what happened to
Speaker 1: the offense? Okay, mix in five drop passes. I think
Speaker 1: I'm being realistic with five um mixing the inability to
Speaker 1: pick up a fourth and one a fourth and two,
Speaker 1: a fourth and one a third and one, Well, that'll
Speaker 1: stall an offense real quick, right, And and the fact
Speaker 1: that I can see receivers running white ass open down
Speaker 1: the field and he misses him badly. What I wrote
Speaker 1: on Friday was the key to this offense was they
Speaker 1: were making plays. Everybody's making a play. It didn't make
Speaker 1: a big play. There was no dump off past to
Speaker 1: Zeke for fifteen yards to get it first down right
Speaker 1: at the five yard line like the week before. They
Speaker 1: were they were missing those plays. Uh. I can still
Speaker 1: see Ceedee Lamb running open, right, and so Dad does
Speaker 1: not miss that, Yeah, and he missed it, does and
Speaker 1: that much. And he missed Noah Brown one time man, right, uh?
Speaker 1: And so there were plays to be made, they didn't
Speaker 1: make them. So I understand that, you know, to the
Speaker 1: victor goes to spoils, and that gives Vic Fangio the
Speaker 1: right to talk about Yeah, no one else knew how
Speaker 1: to play him, but I didn't, you know, I stopped him. Now,
Speaker 1: we stopped ourselves, yes, yeah, And and like Dak said.
Speaker 1: His retort was, well, I hope everybody else plays us
Speaker 1: the same way. There you go, because we're gonna make
Speaker 1: those plays, right, they didn't make them. And see, that's
Speaker 1: the thing about the defense of Denver. I didn't see
Speaker 1: a number two scoring defense, even though we our scored
Speaker 1: was horrible, you know, even though I put they basically
Speaker 1: shut them out. Well, and so the thing is we
Speaker 1: shut ourselves out, yes, I mean, is that how Denver plays?
Speaker 1: They just left the other team keep making mistakes, they
Speaker 1: keep overthrowing. That can't be the formula for a good
Speaker 1: defense is hope they mess up offensively. It's like he
Speaker 1: came up with you know, I remember back in um
Speaker 1: when was it eighty six, when the Final four was here,
Speaker 1: when l Sue Dale Brown he had the freak defense, right,
Speaker 1: he came up with that name. Well, all he was
Speaker 1: doing was playing a matchup zone, you know, but he
Speaker 1: came up with a name. And now everybody's going, oh,
Speaker 1: he's got this defense that we don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: What you had was guys that knew how to match
Speaker 1: up in the zone. They had the players themselves understood
Speaker 1: the zone. Match So in this one and mostly Okay,
Speaker 1: you know they got all these fancy names. A lot
Speaker 1: of times they were playing man coverage. They had safety
Speaker 1: over the top at least one, sometimes two, sometimes way
Speaker 1: deep too, and so it's easier for the Somebody said, well,
Speaker 1: the receivers weren't really open. It's like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: it's easy to cover a guy when you're not threatening
Speaker 1: them deep and you're not running the ball the way
Speaker 1: you should. Right when you have too deep, that should
Speaker 1: be an invitation to run that ball. That means pound
Speaker 1: them up the middle of wherever you can pound them.
Speaker 1: Because they've got two safeties. You want to bring one
Speaker 1: of the safeties down, force him to bring that safety down.
Speaker 1: Now you got one high, maybe you might have to
Speaker 1: do a blitz. And now the wide receivers on the
Speaker 1: outside can work, and the cornerback's not as good. That's right.
Speaker 1: When now he's got he's got to cover inside and outside.
Speaker 1: Now he doesn't just have to jam, he doesn't just
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to play that two press. And then
Speaker 1: they can say, okay, well we're gonna play off. Make
Speaker 1: sure no one's going past me. Right, well, now drop
Speaker 1: five passes underneath, because we love it when you play off, right,
Speaker 1: do that all the time, right, Yeah, we're not the
Speaker 1: ones that really want to go deep. We're the ones
Speaker 1: that want to catch you underneath. I mean, you start
Speaker 1: off the game where a Polar dropped, and there's a
Speaker 1: Schultz dropped, then there's a Cooper drop you know, CD
Speaker 1: had one, uh, and it was just it was uncommon.
Speaker 1: So okay, we're gonna find out. You can write it
Speaker 1: off as I love that. I did not hear that answer.
Speaker 1: I love yeah, oh yeah yeah and McCarthy. McCarthy said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, when you win, you can beat the drum.
Speaker 1: But he goes he kind of said it wasn't his words,
Speaker 1: but he just depolitely disagreed. Right, it's interesting based in
Speaker 1: the streets, like you're talking that trash now, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to see you again, you know, it's interesting. The
Speaker 1: backstory on McCarthy and Fangio is over the last decade,
Speaker 1: just their head to head matchups, because of course, Fangio
Speaker 1: was in Chicago as a defensive coordinator before he got
Speaker 1: the Broncos job, so he was facing McCarthy a lot
Speaker 1: in McCarthy's last four years there. And it's Bear's packers too.
Speaker 1: But then go before that and especially in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and then also some in the regular season Packers forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. Fangio was with Harbaugh in San Francisco, and
Speaker 1: I mean when both those teams were really good and
Speaker 1: they matched up a lot in big games. And it
Speaker 1: was interesting because last week I went back and looked
Speaker 1: at just the history between the two coaches, and it
Speaker 1: was like Fangio had the upper hand in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: and then when McCarthy had the better team in Green Bay,
Speaker 1: we know McCarthy had the upper hand on Fangio. It
Speaker 1: was like an even split five. But I think the
Speaker 1: dynamics of that of them just button heads against each
Speaker 1: other over the last decade. And now here's Fangio throwing
Speaker 1: a little dig in there after after Denver wins that game,
Speaker 1: and then that explains McCarthy's reaction, and then let's let's
Speaker 1: throw in it there. Also, here's another thing. They're also
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania guys. Yeah, and also how about this an Irish
Speaker 1: Catholic against the Italian for the Irish in the Italians
Speaker 1: didn't always get a log. McCarthy's from They're not just
Speaker 1: for Pennsylvania. McCarthy's from Western PA. And uh. Fangio is
Speaker 1: from eastern PA. So anyway, it's it's neat seeing the
Speaker 1: not that now. Now again, having said all that, they
Speaker 1: may have a great relationship. I have no idea, but
Speaker 1: it just interesting that I don't believe that. Yeah, oil
Speaker 1: and vinegar, uh huh Yeah. So anyway, all right, we
Speaker 1: continue with more mix shots. In just a moment, you

Speaker 1: a store lately? I have? You know? I was in
Speaker 1: a home depot October twenty third, and then I wasn't
Speaker 1: surprised they had their Christmas stuff out. I actually needed
Speaker 1: some some of those little clips to put my patio
Speaker 1: lights back up. Well, now you know it's Christmas when
Speaker 1: Legacy West is lit up in the most beautiful decoration
Speaker 1: while the lights are starting to come up outside, and
Speaker 1: just to keep everything honest. Same thing in lows too,
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's true. Yeah, sorry, I saw that. I
Speaker 1: went in there. It was like I was looking for
Speaker 1: it was like, what a man, I don't need a
Speaker 1: Christmas tree. It's not even Halloween. And in fact, there
Speaker 1: were neighborhoods in my town that had their Christmas lights
Speaker 1: up October twenty fourth, a week before Halloween. Hey, my neighborhood,
Speaker 1: they don't even take them down, you know what, You
Speaker 1: don't turn them on? When did they turn them on? Though?
Speaker 1: They actually sometimes every holiday they will turn them on,
Speaker 1: So thank Halloween they'll turn them on. You know, we're
Speaker 1: jogging bars like May twenty thirty, what are we doing?
Speaker 1: We have we have a we have a like a
Speaker 1: wrought our fence around our landscaping where our pool is.
Speaker 1: One year and one year you knew that years froze,
Speaker 1: just like a story. Yes, and one year I took
Speaker 1: I took the colored lights and I weaved them in
Speaker 1: and out and all the way around right, And I'd
Speaker 1: love a video of this, I said to myself. I
Speaker 1: said to myself, you know what all the trouble. I
Speaker 1: put those up. I'm not taking them down. And I
Speaker 1: left them there till they burned out. Yeah, and put
Speaker 1: them on on timer, and they came on every night.
Speaker 1: That's what we on our pathway. Every night. They came Oh,
Speaker 1: year round patio lights. What you don't have patio lights? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but not Christmas lights though. Well. They were just colored lights, right,
Speaker 1: instead of the white ones that everybody's using. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: clear ones. Yeah, but these were and whatever you change
Speaker 1: him to clear the rest of the year. No, I
Speaker 1: just left he got them on. See, I had I
Speaker 1: had cheap plastic light clips whatever, and I had them.
Speaker 1: And so this this summer um, one of them was
Speaker 1: kind of falling apart. Okay, they've been up for like
Speaker 1: three years, the patio lights whatever, and so I went
Speaker 1: up to fix it, and the whole thing came down.
Speaker 1: Oh no, the whole stream came down. My problem is, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is when you don't have control of your scene.
Speaker 1: My problem is my wife will not allow me to
Speaker 1: put a screw or a hook into the patio. It's
Speaker 1: where I can just hang them on a hook like
Speaker 1: everyone else does. I guess there'll be too many holes.
Speaker 1: Hold on she has she doesn't have confidence. She doesn't
Speaker 1: have confidence that I will do it right and there'll
Speaker 1: be all these holes in the wood. So when she's
Speaker 1: got a point, yeah, yeah, she's got a point very well.
Speaker 1: So then I so we went without any patio lights
Speaker 1: for a couple of months until the Christmas lights came out,
Speaker 1: and I had to wait for the Christmas clip like
Speaker 1: to come out so I can hang them not to
Speaker 1: use those. Yeah, you know, they worked for it well
Speaker 1: until about three years. Do you put the lights on
Speaker 1: your house? We don't put out No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he'll kill him. So yeah, I used to when we
Speaker 1: lived in a one story house. When when I can
Speaker 1: get on a ladder and reach up there, but I
Speaker 1: ain't getting on no roof. My my days are over
Speaker 1: on a ladder and climbing on the roof like I
Speaker 1: used to. It's like if I'm gonna kill myself, it
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be falling off, that's right. So I hire
Speaker 1: somebody to put those lads. I put them on the sidewalkway.
Speaker 1: Can't fall off a trip over I'm coming home, or
Speaker 1: run over him. You got you can't get them too
Speaker 1: close to the driveway, run right over them. Okay, football,
Speaker 1: all right, I got shot. We got a mix shot.
Speaker 1: We've got a mix shot. You know how, this is
Speaker 1: a rant. This is you know how. We were making
Speaker 1: a big deal over the first six games about takeaways
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys had fourteen, and boy they were a
Speaker 1: plus seven and a plus ten. And well, the last
Speaker 1: two games, the Cowboys are a minus four. Interesting, no takeaways,
Speaker 1: minus four. Over the first six games, those takeaways that
Speaker 1: they got fourteen of them turned into fifty one points. Interesting,
Speaker 1: eight point five points a takeaway in the last two games,
Speaker 1: no takeaways, no, no points offer takeaways, and now they're
Speaker 1: only a plus three. You know what, I always used
Speaker 1: to h look at our eighty one season in an
Speaker 1: even more favorable light because I recall, we had an
Speaker 1: offense that turned our picks into points that we didn't
Speaker 1: just get them to save ourselves. They're gonna go no
Speaker 1: wherever we got them. You got door set, you got Danny,
Speaker 1: you got springs, you got hell, you got Dopree. They
Speaker 1: were turning them into points. That happened a lot. And
Speaker 1: that's why I was kind of always h concerned with
Speaker 1: with Tom Landry's you know how he just kind of
Speaker 1: blew off interceptions. He just looked at it was almost
Speaker 1: like it was annoyed him that we got him. Are
Speaker 1: you were supposed to get we're supposed to see them exactly.
Speaker 1: They never had anybody on getting before, but we have
Speaker 1: to get so. But I was always proud of that
Speaker 1: that our offense was able to take what we gave
Speaker 1: them and they capitalized. And I know there's extenuating circumstances,
Speaker 1: but with no takeaways the last two games, they scored
Speaker 1: twenty points and I know there was a backup quarterback
Speaker 1: and sixteen barely. So I don't know if there's any
Speaker 1: correlation there, but that kind of dawned on me to day.
Speaker 1: We'll see when you look at that when you when
Speaker 1: you count the Cooper game, I wouldn't. You can. You
Speaker 1: can put it in a category, a numbers category, but
Speaker 1: it meant much more than that. You see, yeah, we
Speaker 1: lost the takeaway, we lost the takeaway contest, but we
Speaker 1: won the game. So even though it's a pattern that
Speaker 1: you look at as you win, it's that kind of
Speaker 1: you put an asterisk on that particular game in those
Speaker 1: stats because we overcame everything that we was. The defense
Speaker 1: played with right, so that's why just because the offense
Speaker 1: was getting shut out didn't mean the defense had to
Speaker 1: give up thirty points, right, right, So that kind of
Speaker 1: goes back to, you know, back to that eight and
Speaker 1: eight season when they didn't win games unless they scored
Speaker 1: thirty points and Minneapolis goes and scores thirty plus points. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how about that Minnesota? Yeah, away from home and beat
Speaker 1: and beat. Uh they lost Baltimore. Oh, that's right, they
Speaker 1: but it went into overtime. Baltimore. I had to go
Speaker 1: into over Becausins was the guy that we thought we
Speaker 1: were going to see them in there. Yeah. Yeah, so okay,
Speaker 1: you had we were talking time of possession yesterday, Yes,
Speaker 1: we were, and we I give you a homework assignment
Speaker 1: and this ship did you and if you happen to complete, well,
Speaker 1: way to go? It's a matter of fact. And to
Speaker 1: complete it, I had to go back through the media
Speaker 1: guides and look at the final results for that season
Speaker 1: to see where time of possession at all the media guys, I,
Speaker 1: you know what, It's just not found online somewhere. Do
Speaker 1: you have to get I tried. I tried googling it
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't come up. So I had to go
Speaker 1: to the library book. No, I've got a box of
Speaker 1: all the media guides. Now I've got a few. I've
Speaker 1: got a few that I'm missing, Like there's one year here,
Speaker 1: one year there. But I think the first year I
Speaker 1: got it is nineteen eighty two. Maybe Okay, there's some
Speaker 1: older than that, but they're like seventy four or seventy two.
Speaker 1: But uh so, anyway, I went back and found that
Speaker 1: the last time the Cowboys had a less time of
Speaker 1: possession than they did in this game on Sunday, which
Speaker 1: was eighteen fifty. Where's my thing? I got it? I
Speaker 1: bet you I beat you two eight eighteen, eighteen forty eight.
Speaker 1: The last time they had last October thirtieth, twenty eleven
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles in a thirty four to seven loss.
Speaker 1: They had seventeen fifty one time of possession. Score that
Speaker 1: game thirty four to seven. Okay, and got beat And
Speaker 1: I was going through the lowest time of possession since
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three. Cleveland had twelve minutes and eleven seconds
Speaker 1: versus the Steelers of nineteen ninety nine in a forty
Speaker 1: three to nothing loss. So but from wrack Off, But
Speaker 1: I would have to ask who had the least amount
Speaker 1: of least time of possession and one, oh, well, I
Speaker 1: didn't have the ability saying that. Yeah, And the game,
Speaker 1: the game that Bill brought up, he looked it up
Speaker 1: real quick yesterday. Maybe yeah, if you do a quick
Speaker 1: the errors that maybe after we got off, you do
Speaker 1: a very quick Google search, you will discover most time
Speaker 1: of possession possession in an NFL game was the Houston
Speaker 1: Oilers against the Dallas Cowboys in nineteen ninety one, forty
Speaker 1: eight minutes in some odd seconds, thirty four eight eighty
Speaker 1: eight thirty four forty eight minutes in thirty four seconds.
Speaker 1: And Mickey very quickly pointed out that wasn't overtime of tame,
Speaker 1: that's right, and in that game, so it was like, well,
Speaker 1: how many you know? What was the Cowboys after four
Speaker 1: quarterbacks has bets on games, that's so after four quarters,
Speaker 1: the time of possession was Houston thirty nine seven and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys twenty fifty three. And then when it got
Speaker 1: into overtime, Houston had two possessions, the Cowboys only had one.
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys time of possession in overtime was five
Speaker 1: oh four to Houston's nine twenty seven, and they won
Speaker 1: the game in overtime after Emmett Smith fum. Yes, I
Speaker 1: remember in Houston or in their own territory, and they
Speaker 1: had a short, fun unusual twenty six twenty three final score.
Speaker 1: I think it's what it was. And then they lost
Speaker 1: The next week. We talked about that to the Giants
Speaker 1: got clappered like twenty three to ten, maybe nine. That
Speaker 1: was the horribly officiated game. Yes, that was led Jimmy.
Speaker 1: My daddy said this was a football and one of them,
Speaker 1: which one of the great may he's saying last night,
Speaker 1: one of the great Jimmy Jimmy Johnson post game tirades
Speaker 1: of all time. That was the worst officiated game since
Speaker 1: my daddy said, this is what you call. Did you
Speaker 1: watch last night? I did. It seemed like the Bears
Speaker 1: weren't happy. Oh you know what if if if I
Speaker 1: was Naggy, they would have had to carry me off
Speaker 1: the field before I wouldn't. I would have been on
Speaker 1: the field Arnagi. Okay, I thought you said if you
Speaker 1: were in Naggy. No, if you're a Naggie, okay, they
Speaker 1: would have had to carry me off the field. We
Speaker 1: tick me out and find me unbelievable crazy That they
Speaker 1: called a crackback block and a guy that missed the
Speaker 1: block right low. Yeah, he went low, but he got grass.
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't get the guy. And he was
Speaker 1: within the tackle box, right, that's true. And and and
Speaker 1: the tawny that's tawny. You know, dude, did they give
Speaker 1: me hip chick? Yes, he did. I saw it. Replayed
Speaker 1: the gear and and and he wasn't reading for the flag.
Speaker 1: It looked like ye hit the hip because he had
Speaker 1: the flag in his hand like he was gonna throw it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he said in his pool report afterwards that the
Speaker 1: guy went running towards the Pittsburgh sideline. He didn't. He
Speaker 1: was right where he was. He kind of took a
Speaker 1: couple steps, and he just stared. He didn't say anything
Speaker 1: right there. He didn't even really look at the kick.
Speaker 1: And and you know what, he deserved that because they
Speaker 1: released him and the Bears picked him up and put
Speaker 1: him out and practice. So he's thinking, okay, you see me,
Speaker 1: I'm here, right, yeah, and I'm stealing. How do you
Speaker 1: throw that? And not only did he throw the flag,
Speaker 1: he threw it and he had his arm up in
Speaker 1: the air like he was the statue of right. He
Speaker 1: put a lot into that. He put the hip check
Speaker 1: and then he got the poles. That was the post.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the game I told you I
Speaker 1: got thrown out of the softball girls softball, And when
Speaker 1: the guy threw me out out, he wound up like
Speaker 1: a major league umpicking. That happened to be in my
Speaker 1: son's little league game one time too. They were cheating
Speaker 1: us so bad, so we kept running touchdowns on the right.
Speaker 1: So the guy runs boy me. I said, hey, Ralph,
Speaker 1: you can't stop us. Yeah. There, he kicked me out
Speaker 1: of the game. I can't come to the park, like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, so and all and all the the
Speaker 1: lined up in the neutral zone and oh there was
Speaker 1: an interference call where the guy didn't do anything. If
Speaker 1: nothing happened, the offensive guy pushed him off. And not
Speaker 1: to mention the late hits on the quarterback. Oh justin fields,
Speaker 1: he's I didn't think he was gonna get up the
Speaker 1: one time and it was a late hit. And how
Speaker 1: about the one from behind, Yeah, that's the one I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. One from behind and no flying but they
Speaker 1: barely hit rothless time that feel, Yeah, yeah, exactly, Hip
Speaker 1: you win this game. We gotta go to a break.
Speaker 1: But we have but um I think we do. We
Speaker 1: didn't at one we have it. At one point they
Speaker 1: put off the graphic. The penalties were eleven to two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. No, no games would be like that and
Speaker 1: that and that and that tawning penalty gave them a
Speaker 1: field goal. They were off the field even in open time.
Speaker 1: It did the same thing. And on the last drive,
Speaker 1: the last drive, but he got a favorite. So you
Speaker 1: got you got kicked out of a baseball game. That
Speaker 1: was a football game, football game. Yeah, yeah, okay, Bobcats, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: have you ever got kicked out? It was a girl's fat,
Speaker 1: fast pitch softball. I was at this is like two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine or whatever, whenever, whenever TiO is still
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys eight, two thousand and eight, whatever it was.
Speaker 1: I was at the charity basketball game doing a live
Speaker 1: shot for CBS eleven and one of the officials was
Speaker 1: working the game came over and she said, I remember you.
Speaker 1: You're that guy from south Lake coach youth basketball girls
Speaker 1: eight unger basketball. And she hated me for the same
Speaker 1: reason that y'all are talking about. I never got kicked
Speaker 1: out of a game. But here you recognize that my
Speaker 1: reputation of travels. Yeah yeah, it traveled by for years.
Speaker 1: It was like a decade later, it was like ten
Speaker 1: years after. I remember you. You're that guy from South Lake.
Speaker 1: Oh good, that's crazy. All right? More, and I've got
Speaker 1: another trip down historical memory lane this Cowboys game. When
Speaker 1: was the last time the Cowboys were being shut out

Speaker 1: He enjoys it so much that all right, Uh, here
Speaker 1: is the I may have misspoken my question before the break, No,
Speaker 1: the what the question I intended to ask? When was
Speaker 1: the last time the Cowboys were shut out as much
Speaker 1: as thirty to nothing in a game like they were
Speaker 1: with about six and a half minutes left in the
Speaker 1: game the other day against Denver. Of course, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: came back and scored a couple of times. In this game,
Speaker 1: particular game I'm thinking of, they also came back and
Speaker 1: scored and weren't shut out in the game, but they
Speaker 1: were trailing. But they were being shut out by more
Speaker 1: than thirty to nothing in this game that I'm thinking of,
Speaker 1: Which is the last time that they were being shut
Speaker 1: out by that much? Philadelphia at Philadelphia the Tony Romo game.
Speaker 1: If this is the worst thing that ever happened, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's thirty four to six the early nineties. It's more
Speaker 1: recent than the early nineties. Oh okay, Now, they had
Speaker 1: a Philadelphia game when Aitman got sacked eleven times at
Speaker 1: Texas Stadium, but they only got Yeah, it was the
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels era. Do you remember that December game of
Speaker 1: gets Washington in two thousand and five where the Cowboys
Speaker 1: couldn't tackle a soul. It was December two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: Drew Bledsoe was sacked seven times in that game, and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were trailing Washington thirty five to nothing at
Speaker 1: the end of the third quarter. Wound up scoring a
Speaker 1: touchdown in the fourth to make the final score thirty
Speaker 1: five to set. Sixteen years ago was the last time
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys were shut out or being shut out
Speaker 1: as much as thirty to nothing in a game. So
Speaker 1: I looked up the last time they were shut out
Speaker 1: in the first half, and it was twenty eighteen when
Speaker 1: they lost twenty three to nothing to the Colts. And
Speaker 1: speaking of the Colts, because some guy previous to that
Speaker 1: played a really good game against Peyton Manning in the
Speaker 1: Colts back in the day. Sean Lee was in the
Speaker 1: building today. Really, oh yeah, guess what he's doing. But
Speaker 1: what would you think after seven months is Sean Lee doing.
Speaker 1: He's an analyst. He's a yeah, he's he's he's helping
Speaker 1: Will McClay in the pro scouting department. I am not
Speaker 1: surprised at all. He couldn't stay away. He said, there
Speaker 1: was only there was only so many times I could
Speaker 1: be on the beach, and so many beers. I could
Speaker 1: drink right and and so, and he's doing it from home,
Speaker 1: and daylight savings time is over now, so you don't
Speaker 1: have as much time in the day to spend at
Speaker 1: the beach. So he was here, he came, he said,
Speaker 1: he came into for the game. Way there Bi brother
Speaker 1: in daylight savings down that kind of I don't know
Speaker 1: what that happened, because you get more down on daylight day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's like he's out there at eight pm. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, but it gets dark and like five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out there by noon. Man, nobody wasted
Speaker 1: five pm beach. They're gonna go early. That's when you
Speaker 1: come in, right, It's not as many hours. But anyway
Speaker 1: he is. If you're drinking that much, you're not getting
Speaker 1: out there three right, that's the x X right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he is doing some advanced scouting for him and also
Speaker 1: looking at pro players for for Will, and uh, he's
Speaker 1: liking it. He loves it, he said. But and he
Speaker 1: can do it from home. He got his little iPad
Speaker 1: looking at all the different stuff. But he was in
Speaker 1: this weekend, had gone to the game, and evidently they
Speaker 1: had a couple of suites for former players. So it
Speaker 1: was like all home week again with a bunch of
Speaker 1: the guys that were here for the game. And so,
Speaker 1: what do you think he's going to be doing three
Speaker 1: years from now? Yeah, he didn't say, but he kind
Speaker 1: of liked the scouting thing, which you can you know,
Speaker 1: from a scouting standpoint, from a fire what he's doing,
Speaker 1: do that nine to five and it's satisfying his head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you don't you see your play the game? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did you? You chose that you consulted, you know, we
Speaker 1: asked him, so what did you what do you think
Speaker 1: of the rookie Penn State? And he goes, I don't
Speaker 1: think I've ever seen a guy that big in that fast.
Speaker 1: He goes in my life? How fast with Sean Lee?
Speaker 1: He I can look it up real quick. We're out
Speaker 1: of time. Oh, I would imagine he was like a
Speaker 1: two five, two six. Maybe what I don't you think
Speaker 1: Sean Lee was that fast? Four or five? I said,
Speaker 1: linebackers twenties. Yeah, well that's what you said they should
Speaker 1: do that. Don't get off on his way. You're saying
Speaker 1: we should do away with I think he ran like
Speaker 1: a four to six at the combine, I said, four
Speaker 1: or five four six. That's that's pretty good for a
Speaker 1: linebacker pans for someone a quick thinker. You know, he
Speaker 1: put that together, you put physical together. It was sent.
Speaker 1: Then you've got something specials. Oh yeah, he was hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he probably didn't even run. Of course he was hurt
Speaker 1: four six and it's pro day. He ran up four
Speaker 1: of course. I had that memorize four six and get
Speaker 1: this ten yards split a one five four and a
Speaker 1: three cone three cone of six eight nine. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: And he had a vertical of thirty seven and a half.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Whoa, that's pretty good. So what
Speaker 1: website do you use for all this? Because I know
Speaker 1: you don't have it memorized. It's a secret. Is he
Speaker 1: just making this up? He's got a combined Results, Combined
Speaker 1: results combine combine as dot com. Very all right. I
Speaker 1: think we are out of time on this edition. It's
Speaker 1: about otherwise we're gonna get We're gonna get kicked out
