Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is Mick Shots straining live on Dallascowboys dot Com and.
Speaker 3: The official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones,
Speaker 3: Everson Walls, and Nicky Spagnola and welcome to the greatest
Speaker 3: reality TV show ever the National Football League. This is
Speaker 3: mix Shots inside the SWBC podcast studio and if you
Speaker 3: watch Monday Night Football, it was all there. The story
Speaker 3: of the off season. Aaron Rodgers finally landing with the
Speaker 3: New York Jets, and four plays into his Jets career,
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers goes down. They're facing the guy that I
Speaker 3: to win the MVP Award, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3: Josh Allen throws three interceptions, three of them by Jordan Whitehead,
Speaker 3: Who's had no more than two in a season in
Speaker 3: his career, and the game goes all the way to overtime,
Speaker 3: and as Mickey would say, some guy named Xavier Gibson
Speaker 3: returns a punt for a touchdown. I get a text
Speaker 3: message from my daughter immediately saying, OMG, oh my god, Gibson.
Speaker 3: I loved him. On Hard knocks and turns out. Xavier
Speaker 3: Gibson out of Stephen F. Austin, went to Woodrow Wilson
Speaker 3: High School in Dallas that produced two Heisman Trophy winners,
Speaker 3: Tim Brown and Davy O'Brien. And there you have it.
Speaker 3: The greatest reality TV show ever the National Football League.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely amazing, not only the way the game ended
Speaker 1: in overtime, but have a kid from down the street
Speaker 1: and by.
Speaker 3: The way, is coming to Dallas, his hometown right Arlington
Speaker 3: at and T Stadium to play his hometown favorite team,
Speaker 3: the Cowboys on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson High School, an undrafted free agent and by
Speaker 1: the way, there ever.
Speaker 4: Since you guys, you all know, one of these days
Speaker 4: everything is bizarre world.
Speaker 5: We should be.
Speaker 4: The top guys and then the first round draft pick
Speaker 4: should be the.
Speaker 3: You find them everywhere.
Speaker 1: And he made the team because of his ability to
Speaker 1: return kicks and he did it at Steven F.
Speaker 5: Austin and he had three in college, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: Touchdowns and you know they bring them on and it
Speaker 1: was another Cavante Turpin's story basically, and.
Speaker 3: People wonder, okay, how come the cow right in their backyard?
Speaker 3: He is probably here at Dallas Day. I don't know
Speaker 3: how come the Cowboys didn't have this Xavier Gibson on
Speaker 3: their roster because they already have them on their right.
Speaker 1: Only so many little flast guys you can have, right, unbelievable,
Speaker 1: unbelievable story. When when he broke to the outside, I
Speaker 1: was looking at I'm going, oh my goodness, he's going
Speaker 1: to go all the way and sure enough, boy.
Speaker 5: And it was almost, well not almost, it wasn't.
Speaker 4: I don't think the referees had it in them to
Speaker 4: drop a flag for Yeah.
Speaker 5: It was such a dramatic evening reality that would spoil
Speaker 5: the reality TV TV show The Flag. Yeah. So, and
Speaker 5: you talked about Josh Allen.
Speaker 4: I mean we've talked about this in previous weeks last year,
Speaker 4: about his turnover compensities such as you know Dak was
Speaker 4: having last year, but no one spoke about it, and
Speaker 4: no one went over the entire off season about how
Speaker 4: Josh Allen is almost as bad as that.
Speaker 3: I mean, he had fourteen interceptions himself last year. Now,
Speaker 3: Dak played fewer games, but I mean he is a
Speaker 3: guy that will take chances.
Speaker 1: And he had some deadhead throws. I was like, who,
Speaker 1: what are you doing, or how about how about when
Speaker 1: you when you get a bad snap and you try
Speaker 1: to pick it up and run, just go down.
Speaker 5: That is a double dutch.
Speaker 1: Right, unbelievable. And then on top of all that, how
Speaker 1: many plays four plays? Three that counted? Aaron Rodgers probably
Speaker 1: done for the season.
Speaker 5: Who knows, could.
Speaker 1: Be his career With the early reports when when they
Speaker 1: say we're worried about his achilles.
Speaker 3: That means they already know.
Speaker 4: Have you seen the video of it?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I saw it when I saw it, and
Speaker 1: they kept saying ankle for someone that tore his achilles,
Speaker 1: ID I know what.
Speaker 4: He just They said that the calf muscle reacts a
Speaker 4: cudden way.
Speaker 1: It it looked like it like it vibrated.
Speaker 4: Yes, you could, you could see. I don't know, maybe
Speaker 4: I was just trying to see it. Yeah, seemed like
Speaker 4: his caf muscles seemed to I don't know, like it.
Speaker 3: Yes, when the doctor David Chows of the social media world,
Speaker 3: they they see one piece of footage of video of
Speaker 3: the injury and they immediately say that's a ruptured achilles.
Speaker 3: It usually is a ruptured achilles.
Speaker 1: And and by the way, from experience, doctors know when
Speaker 1: you tore your achilles.
Speaker 5: They don't need exact the m RI.
Speaker 1: The m RI I knows, right, And and they said
Speaker 1: they got to take an m RI. I. And when
Speaker 1: I tore mine, I asked the doctor do we do
Speaker 1: an m RI? And he goes, we could, but we're
Speaker 1: wasting time and money. He goes, you tore your achilles and.
Speaker 5: As as tight as your muscles were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: That was a big class right right. I know you
Speaker 5: heard it.
Speaker 1: So that kind of changes things for Sunday at at
Speaker 1: and T Stadium at three twenty five. And I was thinking,
Speaker 1: as poorly as the Jets had been playing, and then
Speaker 1: to come back and win like that, I don't think
Speaker 1: that's good news for the calviny.
Speaker 5: I don't think it is either.
Speaker 4: I think the best news is they may have spent
Speaker 4: so much energy, you know, into this shot.
Speaker 5: That's the way I look at it. The way I
Speaker 5: look at it.
Speaker 3: I think them coming back to win the game is
Speaker 3: good for the calendary. Well, it takes a lot out
Speaker 3: of it, and it's also okay yeah, and they take
Speaker 3: a sigh of relief and then reality hits that, Okay,
Speaker 3: now we don't have Aaron Rodgers. They didn't have time
Speaker 3: to digest it at the time. They were playing a game,
Speaker 3: you know, and they all have pride, they know that
Speaker 3: they prepared for this moment. But having said that, I mean,
Speaker 3: Zach Willison, Wilson was at number picking the draft coming
Speaker 3: out and so but there's somebody who thinks he's got
Speaker 3: potential and he's learned a lot, probably in the last
Speaker 3: six months being alongside Aaron Rodgers, and you talk about
Speaker 3: taking care of the football and that's what you got
Speaker 3: to do. Josh Allen proved proved that last night, and
Speaker 3: so yeah, it it changes the storyline before the game,
Speaker 3: but it's it's still a very talented Jets team that
Speaker 3: is coming in here. They built that team to contend
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 1: Well, they have an awfully good defense. So I'm putting
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offensive line on notice. That could be the
Speaker 1: difference here.
Speaker 4: I'm sure that the game itself put them on the
Speaker 4: way and you could see how well that defensive line.
Speaker 1: And I think the Cowboys with their defensive front going
Speaker 1: to give the Jets problems. They were having problems protecting
Speaker 1: up front. But then again, when you have a guy
Speaker 1: like Garrett Wilson that can catch a batted ball falling
Speaker 1: down backward.
Speaker 5: The second best touchdown right.
Speaker 1: That ball was broken up portrait Davis White, right, second first.
Speaker 3: Okay, same stadium, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Different end of it, will right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's the first thing I thought of. It
Speaker 3: is okay O b J.
Speaker 5: Step aside, Yeah, not step aside.
Speaker 4: Now, it's just a little bit less room back there
Speaker 4: behind it, that's all. Yeah, because that was close to
Speaker 4: being the best catch I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: So we were gonna go over close to saying something,
Speaker 3: what's that. This is a man who has seen catches before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, his own.
Speaker 5: Shop this morning.
Speaker 3: This early wiz goes from a man who has seen
Speaker 3: a catch too.
Speaker 4: But those were freaking amazing, was amazing, but those were
Speaker 4: physically amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna make sure that one goes down.
Speaker 4: Besides, I could pick some CD LAMB catches his, but
Speaker 4: not is important.
Speaker 3: And Garrett Wilson, by the way, a Texan Lake Travis
Speaker 3: High School, did not know and one of those Ohio
Speaker 3: State guys, they've got a whole bunch of them coming out.
Speaker 3: Uh Mickey circling things on his statuet.
Speaker 1: Well, how many times do we see an NFL game
Speaker 1: where one quarterback finishes with a sixty two point seven
Speaker 1: quarterback rating and the other guy finishes with an eighty
Speaker 1: one point four quarterback rating and he won the game. So,
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, you know, he's in a situation hour. This
Speaker 1: is your life, right, you got a shot now to
Speaker 1: prove that you were that pick in the first round
Speaker 1: or forever hold your piece.
Speaker 4: I think with him, it wasn't just about his failure
Speaker 4: as a player.
Speaker 5: It was his failure as a leader.
Speaker 4: No one on the team liked him, no one on
Speaker 4: the offense thought he was going to be a good
Speaker 4: quarterback at all for this.
Speaker 5: Team right as far as leadership.
Speaker 1: But they like him today.
Speaker 3: And the stories that came out of there were he
Speaker 3: needed to slice a humble pie. And so he's had
Speaker 3: that now. And I mean, how many how many stories
Speaker 3: are there out there of the guys who were humbled
Speaker 3: and they come back and make something. You don't get drafted.
Speaker 3: You don't get drafted. You get to slice of humble pie,
Speaker 3: don't you.
Speaker 4: He ended up, He ended up letting us know just
Speaker 4: how good their receivers are. They have some good receivers
Speaker 4: on the team, And there were a couple of times
Speaker 4: on those deep en routes where he put it on
Speaker 4: the money and those guys were bringing it down.
Speaker 5: Was the rookie from last year he was doing well.
Speaker 5: I guess it was who we were talking about, Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, well yeah, yeah, he's he just he came out.
Speaker 4: He's ready, guys ready. And he's not the only one
Speaker 4: on that.
Speaker 1: Is where did where did Wilson go to college?
Speaker 3: And the thing with him, you know, in the COVID
Speaker 3: year with Zach Wilson in the COVID year, of course
Speaker 3: b YU being an independent at the time. They now
Speaker 3: they're in the Big twelve Conference, but they had to
Speaker 3: piece together a schedule again and they and so the
Speaker 3: schedule that he played wasn't necessarily a major conference schedule.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had the Trey Lance college career right right,
Speaker 4: and so there's a lot of similarities there.
Speaker 3: Trey Lance was, you know, an FCS school that was
Speaker 3: very successful, but and it also is an offense that
Speaker 3: ran the ball a lot, and so yeah, Zach Wilson
Speaker 3: had all of those you know, pro day you know,
Speaker 3: he had the look of an NFL quarterback, but he
Speaker 3: didn't have the experience and against a high quality competition
Speaker 3: even the competition that BYU would normally face if in
Speaker 3: a non COVID year. So yeah, now this is his
Speaker 3: second chance now, and we'll see. He was able to
Speaker 3: lead his team to a victory yesterday and so now
Speaker 3: we'll see what he does in round two on Sunday
Speaker 3: against the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: And let's be real now, I mean, as drama goes,
Speaker 4: this is very dramatic game. But you know, Josh Allen
Speaker 4: and the Bills, they really contributed a lot to this
Speaker 4: brand for the Jets, and so if you give them
Speaker 4: that opportunity, yeah, they should come back and win.
Speaker 1: I thought the one troubling thing I saw that the
Speaker 1: Jets could bring is they ran the ball awfully well.
Speaker 1: They finished with twenty eight carries for one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy two yards average six carry. Now a lot of
Speaker 1: that had to.
Speaker 5: Do with an eighty eight yard run.
Speaker 1: By brist Hall, But how about him coming back from
Speaker 1: his torn achilles, I mean, and first game back and
Speaker 1: playing like that, And.
Speaker 3: Of course they ended a Dalvin Cook. They won the
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook sweepstakes in the preseason, and brees Hall was
Speaker 3: on the field for seventeen plays and had one hundred
Speaker 3: and twenty seven yards rushing in a twenty yard catch too,
Speaker 3: so accounted for one hundred and forty seven yards on
Speaker 3: seventeen snaps.
Speaker 4: Extremely surprised if they don't come out with run first attitude.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's just what the Giants should have done.
Speaker 3: And they came out with the Giants that did the
Speaker 3: first drive of the game, and then they abandoned it
Speaker 3: after that.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, And they abandoned it because on third and
Speaker 1: two at the eight, it looked like they were going
Speaker 1: to throw the ball and you just ran the ball
Speaker 1: all the way down the field. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: And at that point in the game, you could have
Speaker 1: ran it twice? Right, go for it on fourth down.
Speaker 1: Don't kick a field goal even if you come up short.
Speaker 3: And I was telling people before the Cowboys played the Giants,
Speaker 3: the thing about the Giants going back, you go back
Speaker 3: to their Super Bowl years. We always harken back to
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven, and they just stayed in the
Speaker 3: game against the Cowboys in the playoffs, and they were
Speaker 3: so they were in position to win the game in
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. And that's sort of been over the
Speaker 3: course when they've had successful teams, that's the way they've
Speaker 3: done and it. A lot of it is relying on
Speaker 3: the run. Shortened the game, and so going into this game,
Speaker 3: I thought Brian Dabele would have that same attitude against
Speaker 3: this Cowboys team.
Speaker 5: You got running, and you got the running back.
Speaker 3: In Barkley, and you just you just shorten the game.
Speaker 3: You run the football, and yeah, even if adversity hits
Speaker 3: you early in the game, you stick to that game plan.
Speaker 3: And then you're within striking distance in the second half
Speaker 3: and they let the ball, They let the game get
Speaker 3: away from them because of their propensity to try to
Speaker 3: throw it all the time.
Speaker 1: They ran the ball right down the Cowboys throat. Now
Speaker 1: a lot of it was Daniel Jones scrambling and that
Speaker 1: first series. So they're only down, they're only down six,
Speaker 1: and they come back again with the ball after the
Speaker 1: missed extra point incomplete incomplete by the way, jan Ye
Speaker 1: Thomas breaks up the pass. They bring in this first
Speaker 1: kid playing his first NFL game, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you go cover Darren Waller, Okay, Eddie breaks up the
Speaker 1: pass and they're gonna Obviously it's third and ten. They're
Speaker 1: throwing again and Michaeh Parsons sacks sacks Daniel Jones, they
Speaker 1: go three and out and it's like, then the Cowboys
Speaker 1: come and drive right down the field and kick a
Speaker 1: field goal.
Speaker 3: The contrary, I said, to their first drive. And yeah,
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones did carry the ball quite a bit on
Speaker 3: that drive. But they started Barkley plus five Daniel Jones
Speaker 3: plus eight a completion, and then Barkley plus nine, Barkley
Speaker 3: plus five, and of course in on the course of
Speaker 3: that they had the penalty against Curse for the late hit.
Speaker 3: They got them down into Cowboys into the field and
Speaker 3: so there and they're still just running the ball down.
Speaker 1: Brita for six, Joanes scrambles for eleven, and then Jones
Speaker 1: runs for eight and that got him down to the.
Speaker 3: Third and two at the eight yard line. And who
Speaker 3: was lined up over Thomas their Pro.
Speaker 1: Bowl tackle, Micah Parsons false start and.
Speaker 3: He and seven twitched. Next play the dribbled snap, loss
Speaker 3: of fourteen. Next play, field goal blocked.
Speaker 4: And see that stuff you do away from home, Yeah,
Speaker 4: when you're on the road, that's the kind of stuff
Speaker 4: you do. You make the mistakes down in critical moments, right,
Speaker 4: But that was it was there for them, you know,
Speaker 4: for the taking. They just couldn't and that that was it.
Speaker 4: It's snowballed. It was like, you know, an avalanche.
Speaker 1: And if anything else we learned at the end of
Speaker 1: that series is igbinogheny.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: He can run and we can.
Speaker 5: Practicing as well. Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like we were in the press box and
Speaker 1: we go, oh no, the guy's got to say his
Speaker 1: name down.
Speaker 4: They kept like we were doing last week. They kept like, okay,
Speaker 4: you got it. Yeah, yeah, okay, that sounds.
Speaker 1: Right because the guys. The guys come to the pr department,
Speaker 1: you know early, you know, hour or so before the game,
Speaker 1: and they go over the pronunciations. And I remember when
Speaker 1: that one came up and I heard the guy kind
Speaker 1: of struggling at it, and you're thinking, all right, he's
Speaker 1: just gonna be special teams.
Speaker 5: You're not going to do any of that game.
Speaker 1: Oh my, all right.
Speaker 3: We're just getting started on this edition of mix Shah early.
Speaker 3: So much more to get to and we'll be back
Speaker 3: in just a moment.
Speaker 6: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: And they snapped the press guy who looks right, it's
Speaker 3: not there.
Speaker 1: He escapes left. He'll look for a first.
Speaker 6: Style, just like football when it comes to crypto, it's
Speaker 6: important to have a team you can trust. With blockchain
Speaker 6: dot Com, I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven,
Speaker 6: they've been trusted by millions around the world to buy
Speaker 6: selling tray crypto currency.
Speaker 3: Rushcot's gonna run this in show, run it up the
Speaker 3: middle any stores.

Speaker 6: got you covered. What are you waiting for? Get started
Speaker 6: at blockchain dot com.
Speaker 1: You know that sound anywhere?
Speaker 7: It's the crisp crunch, the first nacho chip with its
Speaker 7: perfect cheese to sour cream ratio sitting atop a layer
Speaker 7: of delicious beans. It's a sip away from perfection.
Speaker 8: That's what we're looking for.
Speaker 7: Add a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana.
Speaker 7: Because while you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 7: savory topping, there's no topping.
Speaker 3: Of cool pepsi.
Speaker 7: Finish nachos better with pepsi.
Speaker 3: That's what I like.

Speaker 3: early edition of Mixed Shots, as Talking Cowboys will be
Speaker 3: at noon today our normal time, and Mickey has to
Speaker 3: tie on as well. The reason we're going early Gilbrand's
Speaker 3: memorial services this afternoon.
Speaker 1: At one o'clock afternoon, and I've got a couple TV
Speaker 1: things to do immediately after we finish here, so I
Speaker 1: figured I'd better come dressed for success or good or
Speaker 1: dress for preparation.
Speaker 3: I look good, he's prepared for sus that's right, that's right.
Speaker 3: That's the first step towards success. And you were at
Speaker 3: a successful read there, so I think it's going to
Speaker 3: be a successful day. Let's go for you today, Mickey.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones was already on the radio this morning, right,
Speaker 3: and gave a little injury update on Tyler Smith as
Speaker 3: well as Donovan Wilson and Lewis and Jordan Lewis and
Speaker 3: they there's a chance.
Speaker 1: There's a chance.
Speaker 5: I think.
Speaker 1: I think maybe, I don't think. Donovan Wilson and I
Speaker 1: saw this. It was mentioned somebody said, well, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are going to be without you know, so and so starters,
Speaker 1: and they included Wilson, and I said, have you have
Speaker 1: you watched practice? Have you have you seen training camp?
Speaker 1: He hasn't practiced since the first day in Pats, So yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a starter, but he's not a starter. You know.
Speaker 1: They had to do without him and I regardless if
Speaker 1: he practiced this week or not, he's not going to
Speaker 1: play in the game. You're not going to send him
Speaker 1: out there for one padded practice after one padded practice,
Speaker 1: you know, a month or so ago, and so okay,
Speaker 1: go right, got to ramp up, right, And that's what
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis is doing right now. He's had a full
Speaker 1: week and a half of ramp up, but one padded practice.
Speaker 1: Now we'll see if after this week is he is
Speaker 1: he ready to go? But if he's ready to go,
Speaker 1: somebody's going to be inactive if they keep him active, right,
Speaker 1: And I was just looking at the snap counts, So
Speaker 1: on defense, Janie Thomas played forty one snaps fifty nine
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps and Marquise Bell thirty one snaps
Speaker 1: forty four percent, and his production per snap was pretty high, right,
Speaker 1: He had eight tackles in the game.
Speaker 4: When I came home, my son asked me, he said,
Speaker 4: who's number fourteen?
Speaker 10: That's my dude, that's Cox, right, yeah, and he you know,
Speaker 10: and when they the way they played their defense, those
Speaker 10: guys are gonna play.
Speaker 1: So does Lewis. If he comes back, he's your slot guy.
Speaker 1: But the reason they brought in Iginogny was to be
Speaker 1: an outside corner, and so somebody's got to sit if
Speaker 1: Lewis is active, and.
Speaker 4: It's someone who had a very productive exactly yeah on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So maybe you slow play it and say, okay, give
Speaker 1: him another week, just make sure he's definitely ready to go.
Speaker 1: And and you know, sort of as we were talking
Speaker 1: about yesterday with Nate, the same thing with a doga.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, he wasn't a liability. So maybe
Speaker 1: you tell Tyler Smith, Okay, let's really make sure about this.
Speaker 3: It's a long season, right.
Speaker 1: And so so I think that you know, they may
Speaker 1: you know, treat this thing very conservatively.
Speaker 5: Not when a guy's ready to go, you go, there's
Speaker 5: none of this.
Speaker 1: Well, we don't need them. You need everybody in every game,
Speaker 1: but you know, you got to be smart about it.
Speaker 3: We'll look at it this way. Now, first quarter of
Speaker 3: the season, first four games of the season. Okay, you
Speaker 3: got one win under your belt. Now you're facing the
Speaker 3: Jets and Zack Wilson's at quarterback. Then you got Arizona.
Speaker 3: Who's that quarterback Josh Dobbs. Okay, who's that quarterback in Arizona?
Speaker 3: Then after that you got New England Mac Jones. Then
Speaker 3: after that games five and six, you got San Francisco
Speaker 3: and the Chargers. Right the I mean, on paper, these
Speaker 3: schedule strengthens in October.
Speaker 1: Right with those two games, So you've got to kind
Speaker 1: of build towards it and make sure.
Speaker 5: You got to take care of business. You got to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't assume anything right exactly, but this is
Speaker 3: where you can make Hey here in the first month
Speaker 3: of the season.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: And here's what I liked about. And I got this
Speaker 1: question a lot yesterday. It's like, boy, that plane ride
Speaker 1: back must have been great, and I'm going, what do
Speaker 1: you mean he goes well after a win like that,
Speaker 1: I said, those guys sleep, there's no big party going
Speaker 1: on back and they treated it like we were supposed
Speaker 1: to go there and win this game, right, And then
Speaker 1: when you know you're gonna win, like start of the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you're already over it, right, You're probably onto
Speaker 1: the Jets at that point in your mind. Right, So, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was no big celebration, and I was working, and
Speaker 1: so they were probably where most of the players are
Speaker 1: other than the guys that get to sit in first class. Another, well,
Speaker 1: there's probably like eight first class seats available ten and
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 4: You have the veterans, the veteran guys, they sit in
Speaker 4: first class versus coach. Yeah, you have you have players
Speaker 4: sitting in first class and some players sitting in coach.
Speaker 1: Yes, wow, yeah man, come Tyron Smith, Dak Prescott. Those
Speaker 1: guys they get to sit in the first class.
Speaker 5: Okay, so who's on the who's on the fringe?
Speaker 10: Give me somebody who's sitting in?
Speaker 5: I didn't I.
Speaker 1: Didn't see, you know, I know, I don't have the scene.
Speaker 3: So did get to sit up?
Speaker 5: And a touchdown?
Speaker 1: That's already they have.
Speaker 4: They have a designated seat for like player of the game.
Speaker 1: There's no, there's no no. It's not like the sideline
Speaker 1: in college, right where you have king of the play
Speaker 1: or whatever gets to sit on the y. Anyway, they
Speaker 1: were probably and there's a divider there, but they were
Speaker 1: at least.
Speaker 4: When they take oh no.
Speaker 5: B versus first.
Speaker 1: Called flight attendant station guys, Oh wow.
Speaker 5: Silly, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: They're only like, why we can't wear because they're not
Speaker 1: altogether right. There's sixteen seeds, sixteen seats thinxteen seeds, and
Speaker 1: it's by year of experience.
Speaker 6: So you just go on the.
Speaker 1: List and see who the sixteen guys.
Speaker 3: Are and that's who sits there. So then so the
Speaker 3: punter gets successful, says.
Speaker 1: Correct, and then the long snapper, Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: he's I don't think he's top. He's only like like
Speaker 1: four or five seasons.
Speaker 5: But before the four or five seasons, you had the.
Speaker 3: Up there.
Speaker 5: Yeahs up there, right. The veteran from that from four
Speaker 5: or five years ago before was here. He got to sit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did, like twelve years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he've been around long enough. He got sitting in
Speaker 3: the cockpit.
Speaker 1: Important put We put the cockpit just in case we
Speaker 1: need him.
Speaker 5: So anyway, I got it. That's better.
Speaker 1: They're not that far behind me. And I was saying
Speaker 1: I was working and I didn't have to put my
Speaker 1: ear pods in. There was no noise whatsoever. They're sleeping,
Speaker 1: you know. Somebody they asked Jerry on his radio show
Speaker 1: this morning a while after the game to go out
Speaker 1: in New York and party. It's like, well, no, I
Speaker 1: got my plane and flew home.
Speaker 5: So whether you use the restroom from.
Speaker 1: The back, whichever one's empty, okay, you can go wherever
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't go past you.
Speaker 3: I don' don't go past that divider.
Speaker 1: I don't go past close the front divider.
Speaker 5: The coaching.
Speaker 1: There's two divisions of first class. Yes, there's where the
Speaker 1: coaches set, and I guess that light business there's.
Speaker 5: In the middle of the plane.
Speaker 3: There's one of the very back.
Speaker 1: No, no, there's a bath like normal American you guys.
Speaker 3: Never before plane.
Speaker 5: This is the highwarky said.
Speaker 3: The plane I was on in the preseason, there was one,
Speaker 3: and there's a bathroom in the front.
Speaker 1: Was there was?
Speaker 3: And then there was one in the very back.
Speaker 4: I was All I wanted to know was whose first
Speaker 4: class and whose coach?
Speaker 5: That's all I want.
Speaker 3: I want to know. Now goes to the bathroom on
Speaker 3: the on the flight? Does he go all the way?
Speaker 3: Does he want to do all those plays back there?
Speaker 1: No, there's a bathroom before you get to the business class.
Speaker 5: It's like business classes.
Speaker 1: In the middle of the the middle of the ave
Speaker 1: never been on a big plane.
Speaker 5: I didn't know there was a hierarchy. So what have
Speaker 5: you really got to go?
Speaker 3: Where did you sit in the back so you would
Speaker 3: you would not walk?
Speaker 1: All?
Speaker 5: I think that was it was alphabetical, So I.
Speaker 3: You learn your lesson, probably like I did back in
Speaker 3: the nineties when Nate Newton. If you if Kevin Gogan
Speaker 3: and Nate Newton, if you tried to go all the
Speaker 3: way to the back of the plane and use it,
Speaker 3: here's no way you would get.
Speaker 1: Now there's a bathroom before you get to their section.
Speaker 5: It was always a card game in the back. That's
Speaker 5: what we would.
Speaker 1: Well when it's what by time we took off, it
Speaker 1: was twelve thirty one o'clock. Yeah, there are many card
Speaker 1: games going on. There's some sleeping going.
Speaker 3: So who are the Nate Newton's and Kevin Gogan's on
Speaker 3: this team? Wise crackers there on the guys. The media
Speaker 3: is not around the player. The media is not around
Speaker 3: the players enough these days to establish those relationships right
Speaker 3: where they give you a hard time.
Speaker 5: I'm trying. It has to be. It has to be possible.
Speaker 1: No, Michael sleeps, he puts his hoodie on and goes
Speaker 1: to sleep. Yeah, he doesn't give his own.
Speaker 3: No one gives make you a hard time anymore like
Speaker 3: the good old days.
Speaker 5: No, there's some respect in this life, all right.
Speaker 7: There.
Speaker 3: It was behind the scenes on the Cowboys charter the
Speaker 3: stuff you don't get just anywhere.
Speaker 5: And stuff that people really probably didn't want to know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was pretty interesting, But all right,
Speaker 3: we'll find something else off Mickey's legal pad when we
Speaker 3: come back here.
Speaker 5: In a moment, I forgot what we were talking about. Actually.

Speaker 3: Well, it's great that you bring that up, because the
Speaker 3: next show is Nick Eatman and storyline. Right, That's what
Speaker 3: that show is all about, the opportunity to ask questions
Speaker 3: of Nick Eatman, what's going on with this Cowboys team?
Speaker 1: Well, very soon, if it works out, we may just
Speaker 1: have somebody to monitor our text line for us.
Speaker 3: All right, I look forward to that, all right, all right? Uh,
Speaker 3: the coordinators talked yesterday, yes and any any day after
Speaker 3: Tidbits Nuggets.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think I heard most of John Fossil.
Speaker 1: We were taping a show kind of when that started,
Speaker 1: you know what, he he ended up turning a kind
Speaker 1: of a down downer into a good thing that Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 1: After he missed the first extra point, he said, at
Speaker 1: least he had the poise to come back and hit
Speaker 1: four or four extra points. After that, both field goals
Speaker 1: and all eight kickoffs were touchbacks, and so he felt
Speaker 1: like it was a good teaching lesson on how just
Speaker 1: because something goes wrong, it doesn't mean it's got a snowball.
Speaker 1: You got to re establish yourself. And he felt like.
Speaker 6: It.
Speaker 1: He said it was a weird setup because normally for
Speaker 1: the extra point after a touchdown like that, you go
Speaker 1: out there, you line up and kick it. He said, well,
Speaker 1: he had to stand there for twelve seconds before they
Speaker 1: spot at the mall, and I think, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was a sudden change right after it was sudden
Speaker 1: change for the officials too, by the way, And so
Speaker 1: he was ready to go kick the Yes, he was ready.
Speaker 1: It was he was too ready, because you know what
Speaker 1: he learned that he'd learned that in training camp when
Speaker 1: they were doing kicks like one after another after another, and.
Speaker 3: There's a rhythm.
Speaker 1: He felt like you after he would kick one, then
Speaker 1: while they were getting the ball back and getting everybody
Speaker 1: lined up, he would go back about ten fifteen yards
Speaker 1: and kind of get to himself and wait and then
Speaker 1: when they got lined up, he would walk in, get.
Speaker 5: His steps in routine.
Speaker 1: That was his routine. Right. Well, here he was ready
Speaker 1: to go and he had to stand there and he
Speaker 1: should have done what he did in practice, like okay,
Speaker 1: let me go walk off to the side, and then
Speaker 1: when they get set come back in because I'm going
Speaker 1: to have however many seconds when they spot the.
Speaker 3: Ball and it was the first attempted point after or
Speaker 3: field goal of his NFL career, had twelve seconds to
Speaker 3: sit there and think about.
Speaker 5: That, this is the first one.
Speaker 4: Be out here all you want in training camp, nothing
Speaker 4: really prepares you.
Speaker 5: I don't care what you say.
Speaker 4: Nothing prepares you for the actual game right itself. It's
Speaker 4: just like as Chris called him, Lve, I guess that
Speaker 4: you gotta lay a good friends.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Lve was talking about it.
Speaker 4: I mean, as much as you can go out there
Speaker 4: and knock the hell out of people, you when it
Speaker 4: comes to game time, it's just a totally different and.
Speaker 1: You got to control your adrenaline. Right That was that.
Speaker 1: That probably was his worst kick since the first week
Speaker 1: of training camp because when he would miss it, would
Speaker 1: just sort of miss or the wind would blow it.
Speaker 1: Now that first week when they were having trouble with
Speaker 1: that wind, boy he shank one to the left. It
Speaker 1: would have hit Dave Campbell in the head like that
Speaker 1: poor guy Jacksonville. That got cut the next day. But
Speaker 1: after that his misses weren't you know, just like, oh god,
Speaker 1: what was that? Sort of like the was named bass
Speaker 1: the kicker for Buffalo, the fifty yard er to tie it.
Speaker 1: I mean he hit that ball good hard. It was
Speaker 1: good from sixty right, but it went straight right at
Speaker 1: the upright and then it bounced in lucky guy.
Speaker 5: All right, you asked for it. What you've got it?
Speaker 3: A phone call Nick from Austin, the first phone caller
Speaker 3: of the season. Here on Mick Shaan.
Speaker 11: Hello Nick here, how's it going, guys?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 11: I love the show, been watching it started, make your
Speaker 11: awesome Bill say with you and everything. You're the man.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, and thanks for the call.
Speaker 5: Wh're not used to this.
Speaker 3: Next thing, Nick Spagnola in Austin, appreciate it.
Speaker 11: I got a couple of days number one with these,
Speaker 11: uh Everson appreciate this took them back to about man.
Speaker 11: They they're really on it. They're going to be really
Speaker 11: and I'm gonna deal with this season, I believe in. Uh.
Speaker 11: One thing I want to Yell's opinion on is is
Speaker 11: playing boy that that guy has impressive He can.
Speaker 2: Always be there.
Speaker 11: He's a guy that really hint. It looks like Jins
Speaker 11: is taking a step up on tackling, which is really
Speaker 11: making me happy.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 11: The second thing is is that I don't know how
Speaker 11: y'all thought about it, but I feel like the game
Speaker 11: was really out of hand by around the end of
Speaker 11: the third quarter. I found like in the fourth quarter
Speaker 11: they should have you know, sat some more people earlier
Speaker 11: and gave Duke a better chance to actually do something.
Speaker 11: I felt like he didn't really have much of a
Speaker 11: chance behind the line that he had because I felt
Speaker 11: like he was still going up against the line of
Speaker 11: the Giant carters and they had kind of a back
Speaker 11: up Lind. I mean, Martin was already out of there
Speaker 11: and everything. So I want to see what about that.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Hey, thanks for listening and calling in.
Speaker 1: By the way, Deran Bland ended up playing more snaps
Speaker 1: than anybody else did on defense.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: He ended up playing fifty five snaps, one more than
Speaker 1: Gilmore and digs two more than Curse seventy nine percent
Speaker 1: of the snaps. And the only reason it was seventy
Speaker 1: nine percent is he probably came out towards the end
Speaker 1: of the game when they start putting the JV in there.
Speaker 1: That might be cruel JV. The majority of the backups
Speaker 1: got in there for maybe the last two Yeah, ok, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that was fine, and they gave guys some snaps. Now,
Speaker 1: you can't sit everybody on the offensive line because you
Speaker 1: I think you only had nine guys active after they
Speaker 1: called up brock Hoffman.
Speaker 3: By the way, Dern Bland he started eight games last
Speaker 3: year after Jordan Lewis went down. This was his ninth
Speaker 3: start of his NFL career. He's got six interceptions in
Speaker 3: his first nine starts in the NFL. That's almost an
Speaker 3: Everson walls pace, not till you start a career, and
Speaker 3: you're right, Everson, that is not quite because you know
Speaker 3: how many Everson had in his first ten games, how
Speaker 3: many ten ten picks his first ten games of his career?
Speaker 1: Well, what the hell happened?
Speaker 5: After that? They finally stayed there?
Speaker 4: Throw it out, dude, I'm trying to show you I
Speaker 4: can play here.
Speaker 5: And they're like, okay, now we see it.
Speaker 1: All right, we got another phone call, that's right, and
Speaker 1: one more on Bland. He is tied for the league
Speaker 1: lead in interceptions over these last two seasons with his
Speaker 1: nice okay, go.
Speaker 3: All right, I believe it's Fernando. Is that right? Yes, yes, Fernando.
Speaker 5: Where are you?
Speaker 3: Miami?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Miami?
Speaker 1: All right, Well what do you got for us?
Speaker 2: With you? Guys?
Speaker 5: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Like cowboy gold here?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're old gold, old Gold. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have two questions And for Everson Everson, do you
Speaker 2: remember your rookie year when you were playing the Dolphin?
Speaker 2: I think you were covering Jerial Harris and David Woodley
Speaker 2: was the quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: Yes, the Dolphin.
Speaker 2: Remember that game?
Speaker 3: He had two interceptions that game?
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 3: He had two interceptions that game?
Speaker 5: Asn't.
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, Jeriel Harris was giving it to him.
Speaker 2: At the end of the game. Everson picked it off
Speaker 2: in the end zone. I remember that obviously, right. No,
Speaker 2: that was awesome.
Speaker 4: No, no, it was It was not just It was
Speaker 4: not just Jillie O Harris. Uh, it was the Italian
Speaker 4: I can't remember his name.
Speaker 5: The little kid. Uh God, I want to say Jimmy
Speaker 5: got me, he and he got.
Speaker 4: Me and Charlie Water split us down the midd he
Speaker 4: scored touch eighty yorder. I think that was like to
Speaker 4: begin the third quarter, and that's what we were like Machley.
Speaker 3: It was a sixty nine yard six David Woodley to
Speaker 3: Jimmy Soffalo that pulled the Dolphins within one at fourteen
Speaker 3: to thirteen.
Speaker 5: That's what we knew we had we had work to do.
Speaker 1: And by the way he was, he had been doing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he still is radio for the Dolphins.
Speaker 4: I saw him later on down the line. I think
Speaker 4: it was about ten years later, and we.
Speaker 5: Talked about that game. Boy, we we had a good
Speaker 5: laugh about it. He was okay.
Speaker 2: And another quick question in the forty nine Ers championship game,
Speaker 2: when the forty nine Ers were driving down at the end,
Speaker 2: you know when Dwight Clark caught that touchdown, I was.
Speaker 5: We don't remember that one online?
Speaker 2: Was that against panic sit in? Were you guys starting
Speaker 2: to panic on defense?
Speaker 4: It's no doubt about it. The panic came from the fact.
Speaker 4: It wasn't that necessarily Joe that had his panic. There
Speaker 4: was the fact that they started running the ball on
Speaker 4: our man to man defense. That was a brilliant move
Speaker 4: by Bill Walsh. And that's when they kind of out
Speaker 4: coaches at that point because the drive didn't just consist
Speaker 4: of Joe versus to the wide receivers. It was also
Speaker 4: uh Linville, Elliott and Roger Craig going around the outside
Speaker 4: and getting those key third downs.
Speaker 3: All right, Fernando, we appreciate it, right, two good calls.
Speaker 3: That we might have to do that more often. I
Speaker 3: think we will do it more often, all right, that.
Speaker 4: We got we gotta start, you know, vetting the questions better. Chris,
Speaker 4: ask him what he wants to ask me first before.
Speaker 1: You He didn't put him on a time on.
Speaker 5: Key's got TV to do.
Speaker 3: And we will be back at our regular time at
Speaker 3: noon tomorrow on Cowboys Wednesday here at the Star in
Speaker 3: Frisco Go.
Speaker 5: Cowboys has been
Speaker 1: A production of Dallascowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: Football Club.
