Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick Shot
Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola, and it's time for another edition of
Speaker 1: Mick Shots Us. We've got Mickey Spagnola live inside the
Speaker 1: s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star in Frisco. Everson
Speaker 1: Walls inside the STBC Morus. Hello, Everson, And I'm in
Speaker 1: front of my liquor closet. That's what I'm in front of.
Speaker 1: Ever since it's his own sponsor there right, he's hiding
Speaker 1: good stuff here. It is a Thursday at the Star
Speaker 1: in Frisco. It's the heavy work day for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: a critical day as far as figuring out who's gonna
Speaker 1: be playing on Sunday at three twenty five against those
Speaker 1: two and O Seattle's Seahawks. So why don't we start
Speaker 1: off this show Mickey, get us an idea who's gonna
Speaker 1: be playing. Well, I can tell you who's gonna be
Speaker 1: practicing or not practicing today. I'm not sure where you
Speaker 1: want to start but I think we'll start with Tyrn Smith.
Speaker 1: He was on Yeah, let's start there. He was on
Speaker 1: the field. He had helmet and shoulder pads like he
Speaker 1: was dressed for practice, and for the portion that we
Speaker 1: get to watch, he was basically working with Marcus Paul,
Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning coach, so he was doing some
Speaker 1: agility drills, some running, and that was about it. I
Speaker 1: didn't see him get into any individual drills while we
Speaker 1: were watching, so that was a step in the right direction,
Speaker 1: and there was still seemed to be some optimism left
Speaker 1: over from yesterday that he would be able to do
Speaker 1: or possibly be ready for the game. On Sunday, when
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy talked about him, he said that Tyrn would
Speaker 1: be working with the rehab group today, So that's what
Speaker 1: basically we saw. If he did anymore, I guess we
Speaker 1: wouldn't find out until tomorrow. Also, he said DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 1: would be back today but that he also would be
Speaker 1: working with the rehab group because of his knee, and
Speaker 1: then they said we'll see if we can work him
Speaker 1: into any individual drills. He wasn't out there, so if
Speaker 1: he was with the rehab group, it was indoors and
Speaker 1: maybe he was working on at the Ford Center or
Speaker 1: maybe he was working in the weight room, so that
Speaker 1: was his status. And then for Trayvon Digs who showed
Speaker 1: up on the injury report yesterday as did not practice
Speaker 1: with a shoulder, Mike McCarthy pointed out that he came
Speaker 1: out of the game with a shoulder issue. He thought
Speaker 1: he would do more today. Yesterday he was out there,
Speaker 1: but evidently he didn't do much in team, so they dmpedham.
Speaker 1: Mike said he'd work into individual drills and see where
Speaker 1: things went. So he was doing that. He was not
Speaker 1: with the trainers doing rehab. He shoulder pads, helmet on,
Speaker 1: and he went through individual drills. And the one thing
Speaker 1: when we got to watch I saw him taking part
Speaker 1: in was special teams. And so if they had him
Speaker 1: work in there, they must feel pretty good about him
Speaker 1: going forward and being ready for the game on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You know, and Everson, you might be able to help
Speaker 1: me out with this. He had like a black band
Speaker 1: around his bicep on his one arm, and I was
Speaker 1: wondering if that might have been some sort of brace
Speaker 1: to help out with the show. You know, a lot
Speaker 1: of times when you you suffer dislocation, you kind of
Speaker 1: can wear a brace and kind of get through things.
Speaker 1: They don't usually do surgery right away, so I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's it or not. But I did see
Speaker 1: that black band around his bicep, so he was looking
Speaker 1: like the Sunday is a is a good possibility. I
Speaker 1: think they were optimistic about him from what I heard.
Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes. And I think that
Speaker 1: about hits everybody. So at some point though, with Chitube
Speaker 1: Awuzier out, you know, we're going to have to discuss
Speaker 1: the cornerback position and kind of see where they go. Uh.
Speaker 1: Since Mike said yesterday that it was a multiple week injury,
Speaker 1: I mean, did they mention anything about or did you
Speaker 1: see anything about as far as the alignment was concerned
Speaker 1: about Brandon Carr and if he would be that guy
Speaker 1: that would replace Yeah, and they certainly didn't divulge that.
Speaker 1: So I would imagine between Car and Worley on the
Speaker 1: outside that that would be the way they'd go. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, Carr continues to you know, when we see
Speaker 1: individual drills, he continues to kind of work with the safeties,
Speaker 1: and he continues to kind of work with the cornerbacks,
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit of both. So um yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll kind of see where where that one's going to go.
Speaker 1: Between those two guys, and you know, are still trying
Speaker 1: to actually make car I don't know that they want
Speaker 1: to send them out there for sixty snaps and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe it's a rotation with him and Worly at the
Speaker 1: at the right cornerback position because they have you know,
Speaker 1: in the game when they finished, they had moved Trey
Speaker 1: ViOn Digs to left to take chittabe Earuzier spot. So
Speaker 1: we'll see where they go from there. I say, Bill,
Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter what cornerbacks play, They're going to
Speaker 1: have to have the track shoes on because the matchup
Speaker 1: from those wide receivers that they're gonna have to deal
Speaker 1: with with Metcalf with Lockett, they'd better figure something out
Speaker 1: real soon. I don't know if they're gonna try and
Speaker 1: match up with a man to man we're gonna try
Speaker 1: and call more zones all of a sudden because we
Speaker 1: are a man to man team. I'm just wondering, what
Speaker 1: if they're going to change the mentality of the play
Speaker 1: calling or are we going to just stick with what
Speaker 1: we do and just pick out poison because at this
Speaker 1: point even their backups are good wide receivers, and with
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson being as hot, didn't see Hills right now. Man,
Speaker 1: they better think real hard about who they want to
Speaker 1: put out there and what kind of matchups they want
Speaker 1: to try to live with. And let me ask you
Speaker 1: about Brandon car because I mean, the game's gonna be Sunday,
Speaker 1: September twenty seventh, and he was signing around September second.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been there for twenty five or so
Speaker 1: days now, and I understand that, yeah, there is an
Speaker 1: acclamation period, but he should be good to go unless
Speaker 1: he's bothered by something. Right, Yeah, I think you're I
Speaker 1: think you're right. And Mike boll load at him by now,
Speaker 1: and Mike pointed out that, you know, he was still
Speaker 1: in kind of an acclamation period, but I would think
Speaker 1: if they need to put him out there, yeah, I agree,
Speaker 1: he should be good to go. And you know, and
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have signed him to the fifty three man roster,
Speaker 1: off the off the practice squad if they didn't feel
Speaker 1: good about his conditioning and his ability to kind of
Speaker 1: step back on September twelfth. Yeah, yeah, so you got
Speaker 1: promoted September twelve. So yeah, he I mean, I think
Speaker 1: he is. He's the guy that is going to get
Speaker 1: the a lot of increased snaps this week, I would think,
Speaker 1: and and going forward with a Woozia. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I was looking at evers in your career. All right,
Speaker 1: your second year in the league. Yet an injury. Okay,
Speaker 1: you you played, you started nine games your second year
Speaker 1: in the league. But for the most part, well that
Speaker 1: was a strike seven. Well eighty seven was this strike year,
Speaker 1: No eighty two, so I'm looking seven was two, but
Speaker 1: eighty two is white. That's why he only played nine games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. So you didn't miss games there, let's play seven.
Speaker 1: You didn't, Bill, I've never heard, so let's clarified that.
Speaker 1: So they never injured. I was the guy that you
Speaker 1: could count on, baby, you understand, Okay, I came to
Speaker 1: your rescue. Okay, game season in eighty two into twelve
Speaker 1: games for the twelve games for uh the non replacement
Speaker 1: players in UH eighty seven. So how come how come
Speaker 1: so many injuries these days? Where you were just that
Speaker 1: much of a stud back in the day. Well, I
Speaker 1: tell people all the time. Uh you know, I was
Speaker 1: known for not being the fastest guy. Everybody in the
Speaker 1: defensive backfield, wide receivers, all of these guys will attract people.
Speaker 1: Rob Fellows he came to he was a track guy, dexter,
Speaker 1: clean scale. He's built like a just like a strong safety.
Speaker 1: All these guys had these toned bodies. I had no
Speaker 1: muscle definition at all during my entire football career. My
Speaker 1: my legs were they were just legs. Okay. I never
Speaker 1: had any muscle pulls. I never had any hamstring problems.
Speaker 1: But when they finally moved me to safety with the
Speaker 1: New York Giants, that's when the injury started to build up.
Speaker 1: The neck, the shoulders, the spleen, all of that. That's
Speaker 1: when that started happening. But as a cowboy, never missed
Speaker 1: a game due to injury. Me and too tall, we
Speaker 1: were guys that you could would get accustomed to seeing
Speaker 1: in that huddle at the same spot all of the time.
Speaker 1: I just I just wasn't that physical enough, really, Bill
Speaker 1: to be real, I wasn't physical enough really to be
Speaker 1: that guy that got injured a lot. I was mostly
Speaker 1: out there trying to cover guys, and if you came
Speaker 1: at me, and you were some big guy, I'd go
Speaker 1: low at your knees and if you went down, you
Speaker 1: went down. If you didn't, you didn't, somebody else better
Speaker 1: get you. So that's kind of how I did it.
Speaker 1: So you can't cool, you can't pull anything. You don't
Speaker 1: have bath right, that's rights bag. I had no muscles
Speaker 1: to pull, which is why I've never pulled a muscle
Speaker 1: in my life either. So really, though you look at
Speaker 1: it back then, I think now also, and in particular
Speaker 1: this season, teams are taking advantage of the injured reserve
Speaker 1: rules this year, and so you're seeing guys that are
Speaker 1: getting placed on injured reserve, which just the idea that
Speaker 1: they're going to be out for three the minimum which
Speaker 1: is three weeks. And so managing that cap has been
Speaker 1: a big deal for teams this year because you've got
Speaker 1: to have enough cap space in order to as Mickey
Speaker 1: would tell you, stashing players on your roster. In order
Speaker 1: to stash players, you have to be able to have
Speaker 1: the cap space to do that, right Mickey, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: because you normally, you know, you're just paying, you're you're
Speaker 1: just accounting for fifty three guys that are on the roster. Well, uh, now,
Speaker 1: when when you can put guys on IR and you
Speaker 1: have to account for them and then replace them. And
Speaker 1: even if you sign a guy from the practice squad,
Speaker 1: then if he's if he's only up for that game,
Speaker 1: you know, he charges the minimum. You know, he's not
Speaker 1: just getting paid his practice squad salary, which is I
Speaker 1: think the maximum this year is twelve twelve hundred dollars
Speaker 1: a week. You go back to the minimum of whatever
Speaker 1: status you are. So if it's you're a rookie for
Speaker 1: first year player, you know, the minimum now is close
Speaker 1: to five hundred thousand, so you've got to be able
Speaker 1: to pay the one seventeenth of that against the cap.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're exactly right. So you gotta be careful.
Speaker 1: You got to have money. And you know it's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why when the Cowboys started extending these
Speaker 1: guys and paying him bonus to lower their base salaries
Speaker 1: this year to create cap space, you know, not only
Speaker 1: for that cap space to move forward to next year,
Speaker 1: but also to make sure you had enough to take
Speaker 1: care of this year for things Bill that you're exactly
Speaker 1: talking about. You know the other thing I think we
Speaker 1: need to point out, go ahead, well, I was going
Speaker 1: to say, just on the salary cap deal. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm not as concerned now about teams stashing guys with
Speaker 1: it with a more expanded injured reserve, because you have
Speaker 1: to manage it all under your salary cap. Back in
Speaker 1: the day, which you were referring to earlier in the week, Mickey,
Speaker 1: that was the big concern our fake injuries and so forth,
Speaker 1: well before salary, before the salary cap was was could
Speaker 1: put a cap on things? Um, you know you could
Speaker 1: do that and it would be a great disparity amongst
Speaker 1: teams in the league. But now I think, I think
Speaker 1: you look at the salary cap is the thing that
Speaker 1: can keep that under control. Yeah, the only the only
Speaker 1: governor you had on the spending back then was the
Speaker 1: was your own or write how much money he had
Speaker 1: to spend it. And quickly here in regards to those
Speaker 1: injuries you were talking about, though, Bill, I truly think that.
Speaker 1: Of course, back in the day, we believed in something
Speaker 1: called resting your body, and this is real. I always
Speaker 1: thought that your body has to have that that resting point.
Speaker 1: It has to have a point of rest where your
Speaker 1: body can kind of just heal for a while and
Speaker 1: just get away from football related exercises. I don't think
Speaker 1: they do that now. Everyone is three sixty five twelve
Speaker 1: months a year, and I think a lot of times
Speaker 1: guys overworked themselves as football players. These days, everyone's about
Speaker 1: being totally toned and fit, and they know about all
Speaker 1: these routines and regiments. I think that the football players
Speaker 1: these days, they don't give themselves enough rest so that
Speaker 1: they're body can recoup. We were we were, We weren't
Speaker 1: known for doing that. That was a must, it was
Speaker 1: a necessity for football players back then. Nowadays they just
Speaker 1: seem to keep on going and going and going and
Speaker 1: just see how big the muscles can get, see how
Speaker 1: far they can run, and see how how much endurance
Speaker 1: they can take. So that's my opinion on that at
Speaker 1: alot of those lines. Ever, so that's not just at
Speaker 1: the professional level. That's in the even going down to
Speaker 1: youth sports. I mean it's, you know, year round, whatever
Speaker 1: sport you're playing, whether it's you know, there's year round basketball, baseball, football,
Speaker 1: and the platic football seven at seven in the spring. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's what that's the advantage of playing multiple sports, I
Speaker 1: think for and you know what, it's all it's also
Speaker 1: moved into golf, right, Bryson D Shambo, Yeah, golf. We're
Speaker 1: talking about athletes here, spags. We're not talking I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've seen d Shambo, who won the US Open.
Speaker 1: This guy bought up Sambo Shambo. Shambo is a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's an exception. Golf balls cry when he hits them,
Speaker 1: so that's not great. I'll be here all right. We're
Speaker 1: just getting started here on mix shots. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot to get too over the course of the next
Speaker 1: half hour, and we continue in just to bow it. Hey,

Speaker 1: Cardinals three in a row. There and Chris Beam, we
Speaker 1: are hearing an echo. I think we have an open mic. Chris, Yeah, someplace.
Speaker 1: There we go, there we go. Okay, So, Mickey, what
Speaker 1: about the injury situation for those Seattle Seahawks. Well, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what, They're not in very good shape either,
Speaker 1: because they just put their best pass rusher, Bruce Irvin
Speaker 1: on i R. So he's not playing in the game.
Speaker 1: I guess you would call this guy their next best
Speaker 1: pass rusher. Uh and uh, some guy by name of
Speaker 1: Benson Mayowa. How about that? Oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you know who their best pass Yes, I know it's
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams because he's got two sacks in two games
Speaker 1: for sixteen sacks this year. Right, yes, absolutely? Uh so. Uh,
Speaker 1: Benson Mayoa is the only defensive lineman that has a sack.
Speaker 1: He has one. He did not practice yesterday. Uh, he's
Speaker 1: got a groin pull. Uh. Also Jeron Reid, Uh, their
Speaker 1: defensive tackle did not practice. He's having back issues. Uh. So,
Speaker 1: basically they're in the same boat from a sack situation
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys. They've got three. The Cowboys have got two. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then they've also lost and I gotta see if
Speaker 1: I remember the guy's name. Uh, they're their best, They're
Speaker 1: they're leading uh sacker from last year, Rashim Green, he's
Speaker 1: got a pinched nerve. He had to come out of
Speaker 1: the season opener, didn't play last week, and Pete Carroll
Speaker 1: said he wasn't sure when he was gonna return. So, uh,
Speaker 1: they've got some problems going in there. Uh. One of
Speaker 1: their starting defense of their cornerbacks, Quintin Dunbar, limited with
Speaker 1: a knee. So they've got some significant situations going on
Speaker 1: their U Duyne Brown has got a knee, their offensive tackle.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they they've got a few problems themselves. Well,
Speaker 1: I saw Dwayne Brown get injured. His fellow lineman got
Speaker 1: thrown on the back of his knee and he got
Speaker 1: rolled up a little bit. Also, the cornerback, I can't
Speaker 1: remember the starting cornerback's name, but he got kicked out
Speaker 1: for Dick's Yeah, and now even his back up, his
Speaker 1: backup was injured. His backup injured his knee. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they're pretty depleted. Even in regloss to their substitutions. And
Speaker 1: you said you watched that Patriots game, Everson, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know Diggs went out early, kicked out and then
Speaker 1: and so it'll be big getting him back. But Cam
Speaker 1: had a field day, as did Russell Wilson against a
Speaker 1: very good Patriots secretary. But Marquis Blair is the other
Speaker 1: dB that tore as a cl yes, and uh and
Speaker 1: Bruce Irban also tore a his a cl So they
Speaker 1: lost two players for the season in that game against
Speaker 1: the Patriots. And and by the way, with Brown did
Speaker 1: not practice. Uh, his backup Cedric uh Boucci was limited.
Speaker 1: So I get m and Alan high school. He was
Speaker 1: your former first round draft pick of the Bengals. Boohe right,
Speaker 1: Well I go with Cedric oh boy, he boy, he
Speaker 1: was the last round pick of the Bengals. He's the
Speaker 1: bags didn't sound good at all on the pronunciation guide
Speaker 1: right underneath their their their depth charge it's obey oh boy,
Speaker 1: he yes, absolutely than Everson. Isn't then what I said,
Speaker 1: That's exactly what you say. I know I was. I
Speaker 1: was confirming what you said. Thank you, Bill, Okay, why
Speaker 1: can't they just have Smith out there? You know, you
Speaker 1: know you know Everson. One of the things I love
Speaker 1: about Mickey is when whenever he's talking about the players
Speaker 1: on the other team, it's uh, it's It's kind of
Speaker 1: like the pronunciation of okay. And they got a guy
Speaker 1: on this team. His name is Keeler Murray, it's Cedric.
Speaker 1: I would go with Cedric myself, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: Mickey knows every player on this Cowboys team how to
Speaker 1: pronounce their name for the last forty years. Whatever phone, oh,
Speaker 1: I thought we had breaking news or something, Sorry about that.
Speaker 1: I need not here. I am here. I am the
Speaker 1: other chance. Guys, Mickey and I broke a cardinal rules.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to find me now. And he's the
Speaker 1: professional broadcaster. By the way, Mickey, you might know everyone
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys team, but Bill knows anyone on any
Speaker 1: team that has North Texas ties. That's right, their high
Speaker 1: school I can tell you their high school in their
Speaker 1: junior high too. So Ever, since you could give you
Speaker 1: what impression did the Seahawks make on you, since you
Speaker 1: watched that game against New England, you know nowadays you've
Speaker 1: got all of these teams concentrating so much on offense.
Speaker 1: All of the good teams all of the more accomplished teams.
Speaker 1: They almost mirror each other. The Falcons just like the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: especially offensively, and then you start talking about defensively how
Speaker 1: weak they are. The Seahawks are exactly the same, extremely
Speaker 1: accomplished quarterback. Offensively, the entire system is capable of blowing
Speaker 1: anybody out at any time if it wasn't for the
Speaker 1: other side of the field, of the other of the line,
Speaker 1: and that would be the defense. The Seahawks defense, The
Speaker 1: legion of doom has been gone for quite some time.
Speaker 1: The attitude may still be there, but the players are not.
Speaker 1: And what I saw was an offense that has to
Speaker 1: outscore the opposition every time in every game. Now, who
Speaker 1: does that sound like to you? Guys? I'm waiting. I
Speaker 1: think I've seen that team for two weeks, right right,
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. Russell Wilson getting the same type
Speaker 1: of accolades that he got last year. He should be
Speaker 1: MVP of things of that nature. But one thing I
Speaker 1: saw about Russell, and we'll go over this a little
Speaker 1: bit tomorrow as well, maybe even today, Russell Wilson can
Speaker 1: get himself into a lot of trouble because he's so
Speaker 1: confident in himself and in his teammates. Sometimes he will
Speaker 1: take unnecessary chances that really puts his team in a bind.
Speaker 1: And I think that's been his reputation since he's been
Speaker 1: in the league. He's known to do amazing things and
Speaker 1: he is extremely consistent in doing that. But there are
Speaker 1: times when his defense puts him in a position to
Speaker 1: where he has to make this drive, he has to
Speaker 1: make this play, and even on the first play of
Speaker 1: the game, it's a little bit that pres Scottish, he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a great game, but there's always that one
Speaker 1: mistake that you go, man, why didn't he do better?
Speaker 1: And of course his first passing the game a little
Speaker 1: bit back shoulder, no big deal. Tight ends should have
Speaker 1: caught it, but it bounced off his shoulder pass and
Speaker 1: you gotta pick six. So it's always just a little
Speaker 1: blemish on there, simply because he's always trying to do
Speaker 1: more than he's called on to do, and sometimes that's
Speaker 1: because his defense will not hold up. And speaking of
Speaker 1: that defense, you know they've given up fifty five points
Speaker 1: in two games, twenty five to Atlanta, thirty two New England,
Speaker 1: and then when you dive a little bit closer into
Speaker 1: their into their stats. They are giving up four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifteen point five yards net yards passing a game.
Speaker 1: So if you look at the gross yards, they've given
Speaker 1: up eight hundred and forty seven yards passing and the
Speaker 1: opponent quarterbacks are completing sixty eight point four. Now, obviously
Speaker 1: that doesn't match up with eighty two point five of
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, but still the quarterbacks are completing nearly seventy
Speaker 1: percent of their passes, so they're giving up yards in
Speaker 1: the passing game. And if the Cowboys attack doesn't get
Speaker 1: a false start like they did in the game against
Speaker 1: the Falcons, they ought to be able to move the
Speaker 1: ball against them, especially with their potential inability to put
Speaker 1: pressure on the posing quarterback. And I have to say,
Speaker 1: you know, this is a well coached team if you
Speaker 1: look at their assistance, and of course you look at
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. I think he's really one of the more
Speaker 1: innovative coaches in the league. But there are times when
Speaker 1: they do some of the dumbest things. You know, they
Speaker 1: take too many chances. Well, I guess that sounds familiar
Speaker 1: as well here. I mean talk about the specio teams
Speaker 1: plays that we try. They do the exact same things.
Speaker 1: They're very optimistic about their chances every time around. I
Speaker 1: think that has a lot to do with the optimistic
Speaker 1: nature of Pete Carroll himself as a coach, so he
Speaker 1: has stamped his image on this team and as a
Speaker 1: culture here. That's amazing. But it's hard to be It's
Speaker 1: hard to outrun your own defense, okay, And that's what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do each game. They're trying to outrun
Speaker 1: their defense so that they will not be outscored offensively. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan had four hundred and fifty yards passing against
Speaker 1: them the previous week fifty four pass attempts, and Cam
Speaker 1: Newton last week had three hundred and ninety seven yards
Speaker 1: passing against the Seahawks. So, but you know Seattle's offense.
Speaker 1: You know, the thing about Russell Wilson is even though
Speaker 1: he does take chances, he does take care of the
Speaker 1: football too. I mean, because I mean you look at
Speaker 1: last year he threw thirty one touchdown passes, only five
Speaker 1: picks and this year it's one interception, that one picks
Speaker 1: six last last week by Devin mccordy, and he's got
Speaker 1: nine touchdown passes. In the other thing about him takes
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks. That is the one thing about
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson that if you're gonna say, it's a blemish.
Speaker 1: He has been sacked so many times within his career.
Speaker 1: I think since he's coming to the league, he's been
Speaker 1: sacked more than any other starting quarterback well and and
Speaker 1: that's hell true here even late in his later in
Speaker 1: his career, he was sacked forty eight times last year.
Speaker 1: Man he's been sacked five times so far in the
Speaker 1: two games this year, So that's a plus for us.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it could be an opportunity for
Speaker 1: ever Son, Griffin and and some of our guys to
Speaker 1: get in there and make some things happen, and it
Speaker 1: could make a difference in the ball game. We have
Speaker 1: never been afraid of the Seahawks. That goes all the
Speaker 1: way back to but Murray when he was out of
Speaker 1: running back back in the day. Were DeMarco Murray. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, Romo that squad they went up to Seattle
Speaker 1: when they had the Legion of Doom and ran all
Speaker 1: over them. You guys remember that game, the great game.
Speaker 1: They blew the Seahawks out on their home stay at
Speaker 1: their home stadium. The twelfth Man made no difference, and
Speaker 1: ever since then, Cowboys have really never been afraid of
Speaker 1: the Seahawks like most teams are. I give us a
Speaker 1: good chance in here. Our attitude wise, I think we're
Speaker 1: going up here with a good attitude. Nicky, we got
Speaker 1: to take a break here. What's that he's ever since
Speaker 1: referring to the two thy fourteen game up there? I believe, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And what's the one play you remember from that game
Speaker 1: more than any anything? Stick out these that the game
Speaker 1: the Terrence Williams catch on the sideline? Yes, yes it was,
Speaker 1: And for some reason, that is the one play from
Speaker 1: that game that I remember more than any other. That's
Speaker 1: probably remember his whole career. And let's remember, and let's
Speaker 1: remember how close they came to beating Green Bay in
Speaker 1: the playoff game, and they would have played Seattle after
Speaker 1: they've already beaten them. That's why that call and that
Speaker 1: game was so critical. Yes, all I got to say
Speaker 1: about their defense right now, if two games mean anything,
Speaker 1: and I think Everson said it, you know, they ain't
Speaker 1: the Legion of Boom anymore. On defense, they might be
Speaker 1: the French foreign Legion. Okay, been fired here on nick
Speaker 1: shots and we'll see how if if Nicky has anything
Speaker 1: left and it is quivered when we come back. Here's

Speaker 1: all right, I'm monitoring periscope, and on periscope, we have
Speaker 1: a question here, uh from Marcus. Ask him? Do y'all
Speaker 1: think he's a Texan? Do y'all think now you're guys
Speaker 1: to use Jalen? Do y'all think we're going to use
Speaker 1: Jalen to spy Russ similar to the wild Card game? Oh?
Speaker 1: I hope not, because I think question. I don't think
Speaker 1: he can run with with with with the Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas might think are going to have anyone's spy.
Speaker 1: It might be Thomas more than it would gain Smith.
Speaker 1: What do you think spat? Yeah? Absolutely. Thomas is shown
Speaker 1: to be extremely agile. I like his instincts as a player,
Speaker 1: as a linebacker. He's got a good linebacker instincts. He
Speaker 1: doesn't believe in dropping back catching blockers if if he
Speaker 1: can help it, he'd grab a shoot that gap and
Speaker 1: catch him on the other other side of the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. I love that about him or you, but
Speaker 1: enough to see that in a linebacker, don't you? Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and you know you could do u. Xavier Wood. Xavier
Speaker 1: Woods could actually be a good spot for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: Very aggressive and uh yeah, he wouldn't be He wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to worry about his having any lack of being nimble.
Speaker 1: I think he could keep up with Russell Wilson. I
Speaker 1: think he could take him down in the open field,
Speaker 1: which is something I linebackers might have a problem doing. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, here's the thing that's got to happen.
Speaker 1: They got to get pressure on Russell Wilson. End of story.
Speaker 1: If they don't do a better job than they have
Speaker 1: in these first couple of games, then he's gonna throw
Speaker 1: for the yards he gets and he's gonna run around.
Speaker 1: They've got to get pressure on him. They know it.
Speaker 1: Should have listened to Everson Griffin yesterday talking about how
Speaker 1: they need to do a better job, and they need
Speaker 1: to do it as a unit, not just one guy.
Speaker 1: That they they've got to get in coordination with each other.
Speaker 1: And he was talking about the transition that he was
Speaker 1: trying to make in these first couple of games, uh,
Speaker 1: standing up in a two point stance instead of a
Speaker 1: three point stance. And he basically said, I'm done with
Speaker 1: the two point stance. I'm going back to what I've
Speaker 1: done my entire year. I'm putting my hand in the dirt.
Speaker 1: I feel more comfortable there. And you know, I was.
Speaker 1: You know, we do a thing on Wednesday night with
Speaker 1: the Cowboy Club members. Will McClay kind of breaks things down,
Speaker 1: and we were talking about standing up versus being down,
Speaker 1: you know, and they talk about when you're standing up
Speaker 1: you can see better, and I would imagine you can.
Speaker 1: But my point was, when you stand up, you give
Speaker 1: them a bigger target. They you know, they got more
Speaker 1: to come and hit you and to block. And I
Speaker 1: think Will Will said, yeah, there's a reason why when
Speaker 1: they go in the U in the tiger cage and
Speaker 1: they have a stool, because it's got four legs, So
Speaker 1: the tiger's got to keep an eye on all four legs,
Speaker 1: not just one arm, you know. And I said, that's
Speaker 1: a good way to put it, right. But but anyway,
Speaker 1: the pressure's got to be better. That's how you stop him.
Speaker 1: That's how you stop those wide receivers from kind of
Speaker 1: tearing you apart getting down field. But when you think
Speaker 1: about where Everson came from, you know, Mike Zimmer had
Speaker 1: had a pretty decent defense last year and really all
Speaker 1: the years he's been there. Of course they've given up
Speaker 1: points and things that nature, have had their trials and tribulations,
Speaker 1: but they've always been known as a swarming a swarming
Speaker 1: defense when they're playing at that best, especially these last
Speaker 1: couple of years. So it's not anything he heard about.
Speaker 1: This is something that he has seen work. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: have shown that they are not a good team defense.
Speaker 1: We've got to have a swarm mentality when they would
Speaker 1: throw even in the first game when when Rodney Woods
Speaker 1: was was Rodney Woods was his name, the wide receiver Woods,
Speaker 1: Robert Woods was getting those Robert Woods was getting those
Speaker 1: uh misdirection, bubble bubble screens and things of that nature.
Speaker 1: It took all day for the Cowboys defense to catch
Speaker 1: up with him after about twenty five thirty yards. A
Speaker 1: good defense would have better recognition by not just one player,
Speaker 1: but the entire team, and the swarm comes as a
Speaker 1: result of that. And Everson Griffin also playing for Mike Zimmer,
Speaker 1: He's been in a four man front and so he's
Speaker 1: he's used to having his hand on the ground. And
Speaker 1: then that gets right back to what Mike McCarthy said
Speaker 1: right at the outset when he took the job with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. In terms of scheme, he may have been
Speaker 1: talking about offense, but I think he plays to defense too.
Speaker 1: He wants as good as players as he can get
Speaker 1: in the in the scheme and can match what the
Speaker 1: player can do. And so I'm sure that's an adjust
Speaker 1: that Mike Nolan and Jim tom Suler are making on
Speaker 1: the defensive side. Mickey. One of the things that McCarthy
Speaker 1: was asked about was once again today was aggressive play calling,
Speaker 1: and he was asked if he was a gambler. He's
Speaker 1: not a gambler. He says, he's never been a gambler
Speaker 1: and thinks it's bad. Going back to his his dad
Speaker 1: it was a firefighter in Pittsburgh and owns a bar
Speaker 1: and there were a couple of uh what, I can't
Speaker 1: remember exactly what he said. He said they had they
Speaker 1: had some of those video poker machines in the bar,
Speaker 1: and he said I saw people just more and money
Speaker 1: in there and losing. So he yeah, I'm not into gambling.
Speaker 1: And you know the funny thing, Bill is when I
Speaker 1: was on the fan and they asked me about that
Speaker 1: today and I said, you know what, neither was my dad?
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think I ever saw him gamble.
Speaker 1: One thing he learned his lesson the first time he
Speaker 1: went to a track with an uncle of mine and
Speaker 1: he said, they told him to bet on this horse.
Speaker 1: It's a sure thing. And he said, yeah. The horse
Speaker 1: was leading all the way around and coming around down
Speaker 1: the stretch and he goes and then when we got
Speaker 1: to the end, I was like, oh, well, where's my horse.
Speaker 1: Where'd it go? And my uncle goes, yeah, it's back
Speaker 1: down the track. He fell down and as the last
Speaker 1: time I've ever been on a horse, and if a
Speaker 1: horse needed my betting money to eat, he would starve.
Speaker 1: Okay I was. I was at Grambling, so of course
Speaker 1: that was betting all throughout the state. I went to
Speaker 1: Louisiana Downs before I went down to this country track.
Speaker 1: I think it's called Delta Downs. This in like mid
Speaker 1: mid Louisiana O my middle of nowhere. I bet on
Speaker 1: a favorite. I know this horse was the best horse.
Speaker 1: This is the last race of the day. They have
Speaker 1: just taken all of my money. I bet on the
Speaker 1: best horse out there, and he was good. The horse
Speaker 1: was good, but the jockey fell off. So that was
Speaker 1: the problem with that one. I've never been on another
Speaker 1: horse again after that. So yeah, I'll learn my lesson
Speaker 1: as well. You need the jockey to have his money
Speaker 1: on that horse too. That'll stay aboarded councing to win,
Speaker 1: all right. But we're almost out of time here. That's
Speaker 1: the problem when we start talking about stories that Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy tells that Mickey's got to tell his story, that
Speaker 1: ever since got to tell his story. But well, Phil,
Speaker 1: can you have the story? We don't have to turn
Speaker 1: to my story now. But but Mark Mike McCarthy says
Speaker 1: he feels like he's less aggressive now than he was
Speaker 1: early in his head coaching career at Green Bay. He
Speaker 1: sided a game against the Bears, and I looked it up,
Speaker 1: and sure enough, it was eight years ago. It was
Speaker 1: twenty twelve against the Bears. The Packers are are ahead
Speaker 1: three nothing, have the all at the twenty seven yard
Speaker 1: line with the two minutes left in the first half,
Speaker 1: and they line up for a field goal forty five
Speaker 1: yard field goal attempt. They run a fake field goal
Speaker 1: on fourth and twenty six and it shovel pass the
Speaker 1: holder Tim nest Day to Tom Crabtree, who it was
Speaker 1: a beautifully designed play. I tweeted it out so you
Speaker 1: can take a look at it on my Twitter CBS
Speaker 1: eleven Bill Jones, and it was just right off tackle
Speaker 1: all the way, just the sieves just parted and it
Speaker 1: was a lambo leap waiting to happen, and sure enough
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And so there is an example of a
Speaker 1: fake field goal on fourth and twenty six that he
Speaker 1: called once upon a time. Well, I'm glad that guy
Speaker 1: wasn't coaching in the game this past weekend. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: we were, we were We were bitching about a fourth
Speaker 1: and five. Just think what we would do if we
Speaker 1: had a fourth and twenty six. Give me a break. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the key there he was on the ship cogo twenty
Speaker 1: seven yard line. He wasn't running the fake butt from this.
Speaker 1: It does not matter. It does not matter. That is
Speaker 1: way too far. And by the way, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: the last word. I noticed two days in a row
Speaker 1: Everson had his Grambling shirt on. I didn't know if
Speaker 1: he was trying to counter Dion Sanders going to Jackson State,
Speaker 1: make sure they didn't get all the good people in
Speaker 1: the swack they go. Dion has an ass whipping waiting
Speaker 1: on him. He just doesn't know it. Oh, I think,
Speaker 1: I think Grambling's gonna have an honorary captain for that game.
Speaker 1: Is gonna return there? All right? That doesn't Tomorrow we
Speaker 1: have our picks to click because the Cowboys take on
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and I can't wait to hear how much
Speaker 1: Mickey thinks the Cowboys are gonna beat the Seahawks by
Speaker 1: That will be tomorrow. De're on mix shots. This has
Speaker 1: been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
