Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick shot
Speaker 1: screening 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 we are two thirds of the
Speaker 1: way back inside the SWBC Mortgage studios here at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. I am Bill Jones, back here for
Speaker 1: the first time since January inside the studio. That's right,
Speaker 1: first time since January inside the SWBC Mortgage studio. I
Speaker 1: have been in the Academy Sports and Outdoors TV studios
Speaker 1: down the Nike Star Walk here try to get all
Speaker 1: your plug at Ford Center at the Start in Brisco.
Speaker 1: And Mickey Spagnola is on the other side of the
Speaker 1: plexiglass from me. We are safe, safely socially distanced away
Speaker 1: from each other. Hello, Mickey, I can maybe knock on
Speaker 1: the glass when it's if you can reach it. You
Speaker 1: can't reach it though, I oh, I almost knocked it over.
Speaker 1: Get close. And a really socially distanced from us is
Speaker 1: Everson Walls in his home office. Hello Everson, how are you?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Sir? I just want to say,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're finally dissing the uniform that you're usually
Speaker 1: wear for this show. Usually you have no pants on,
Speaker 1: so now I had to put pants on pants while
Speaker 1: doing the show this year. Yeah, I can gratulation. Yeah, Mickey,
Speaker 1: what's your temperature? You even sound different? I do, yeah
Speaker 1: about that. I checked in this morning at ninety seven degrees,
Speaker 1: so I was a little cold, and I checked in
Speaker 1: at ninety seven point seven because you gotta have your
Speaker 1: temperature check come in. Fortunately, it's just a forehead chick.
Speaker 1: But there's news. There is news happening out here at
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco, which Mickey will get us posted
Speaker 1: on right off the top. If you heard Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 1: press conference this morning, some news being made here, and
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. Mister cornerback over there, Everson walls
Speaker 1: that this team has plenty of cornerbacks on a roster. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought maybe for a second there they were going
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, Everson, you need to earn your money
Speaker 1: even more so now and get over here. I'm ready.
Speaker 1: I'm ready, I'm ready. You know it's bad enough that
Speaker 1: they're down three offensive tackles. Uh, and now the injury
Speaker 1: bug has hit the cornerback position. H Anthony Brown was
Speaker 1: placed on injured reserve on Saturday with a rib injury
Speaker 1: he kind practice in the week, and now we knew
Speaker 1: that chitube O woozier Uh suffered a strained hamstring in
Speaker 1: the game, and you guys, as has turned out, Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy at least allowed this morning that he will be
Speaker 1: out multiple weeks. It looks like and probably looks like
Speaker 1: not ready for this game Sunday against Seattle. So the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to be down two of their Basically
Speaker 1: what they started off was that two of their top
Speaker 1: three cornerbacks without Brown and the Woozy on the field
Speaker 1: coming up, So they're gonna have to adjust multiple weeks.
Speaker 1: Does that sound to you like it is a three
Speaker 1: week ir stay for Cheetah, Well they I don't know
Speaker 1: that they've decided that yet, Billpie, because it had they
Speaker 1: and maybe we find out, you know, he's on injured
Speaker 1: reserve at three o'clock, but three three weeks is the
Speaker 1: injured reserve stay. So maybe they think it's one week
Speaker 1: or two weeks and they're not going to make that move.
Speaker 1: I've got a question on placing a player on injured reserve.
Speaker 1: The way it works in baseball, when you get placed
Speaker 1: on what used to be called the disabled list, they
Speaker 1: all call it the injured list. You can make it.
Speaker 1: You can backtime it to when you last played in
Speaker 1: a game, so a meaning like for in baseball, Let's
Speaker 1: say a pitcher gets hurt on a Tuesday, and by
Speaker 1: and on Friday, they determine that he needs to go
Speaker 1: on the injured list. Well, they can backtime is stay
Speaker 1: to Wednesday, which would be his first the day that
Speaker 1: he didn't pitch any game. Can the can In the NFL,
Speaker 1: can you wait a week and backtime the clock on
Speaker 1: the injured reserve list? I didn't think so, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to clarify. Baseball they play every day, right right.
Speaker 1: This is so when you go on in right reserve
Speaker 1: right now, you've got to miss three games. But so
Speaker 1: they need to if if they want to play you
Speaker 1: see money injured reserve and they want this week to count,
Speaker 1: it needs to happen before Sunday. Yes, absolutely, you have
Speaker 1: to do it before three o'clock Saturday. Afternaturday afterno, yeah,
Speaker 1: so they have exactly so they have at least that
Speaker 1: amount of advantage to Is there any advantage to putting
Speaker 1: him on IR right now, or is it more advantageous
Speaker 1: for us to to leave him off of IR hopefully
Speaker 1: comes back son where it would be advantageous. Is it
Speaker 1: obviously opens up a roster spot if they have someone
Speaker 1: they want to add to the roster. But what they
Speaker 1: I would think what they want to figure out first
Speaker 1: is what is the prognosis how long is he going
Speaker 1: to be out? And if they can make that determination
Speaker 1: that he's for sure going to miss three weeks, then
Speaker 1: it's an easy decision to make to go ahead and
Speaker 1: do it. Now they open up the roster spot. And
Speaker 1: just remember, you know, if you have a forty eight
Speaker 1: man game day roster, you you're going to have to
Speaker 1: have six guys inactive or whatever however many that comes
Speaker 1: to if you put those two guys up. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're unsure, you just keep them and
Speaker 1: you've got probably enough corners now on the roster to
Speaker 1: that you probably don't need, and you could promote somebody
Speaker 1: from the practice squad, right because that was my next question.
Speaker 1: You could do that if you needed to. I think
Speaker 1: Savon Savon Smith is on there and then also I
Speaker 1: saw Robinson. They protected him by the way this week.
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to move those guys, one of
Speaker 1: those guys up along with an offensive lineman, you can
Speaker 1: do that. They did it with Alex Light last week.
Speaker 1: Make sure they had eight offensive linemen up so they
Speaker 1: can actually have forty eight active. So the bigger question also,
Speaker 1: they probably want to pick someone that has special teams.
Speaker 1: We lose Everson. That's what I was going, thank you,
Speaker 1: how about you guys in my head get out out
Speaker 1: of here. Yeah, but the bigger the bigger problem is
Speaker 1: it's not I don't think it's manpower. Because remember Reggie
Speaker 1: Robinson has been inactive each week. He's been one of
Speaker 1: the inactives the first two weeks, so you may want
Speaker 1: to put him on the forty eight man ross. And
Speaker 1: we should keep in mind Reggie Robinson is a different
Speaker 1: player from Rashard Robinson. He's on the Freis squad, So
Speaker 1: let's still get a Robinson's He could help you on
Speaker 1: the special teams if you kept him active on game day. Now,
Speaker 1: the bigger question is who takes Chitubeewoozi a spot in
Speaker 1: the starting lineup. UH and Mike McCarthy, you know, was
Speaker 1: open about his injury, but he was not open about
Speaker 1: what's he gonna do. Uh, it was the it was
Speaker 1: the same, well, we've got combinations that we can work
Speaker 1: there sort of what he kind of said, uh, to
Speaker 1: not spill the beans on the offensive tackles. But to me,
Speaker 1: I went back and looked because the last possession the
Speaker 1: Cowboys played on defense, A Woozier wasn't on the field,
Speaker 1: and it looked like he hurt himself on the rekick
Speaker 1: of that last field goal. Remember they were attempting a
Speaker 1: field goal and they had a false start and they
Speaker 1: were penalized five yards and they did it again, and
Speaker 1: on the rekick, they moved to Woozier from the left
Speaker 1: the fire left end to the far right end of
Speaker 1: the Cowboys block formation, and he came flying through and
Speaker 1: do came really close to it too, by the way
Speaker 1: he did. And when he landed, he tucked his head
Speaker 1: and he did a forward somersault for kind of a
Speaker 1: forward role. And when he came up you can see
Speaker 1: him both hands. He grabbed his left hamstring and so
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's when it happened. So the next possession
Speaker 1: that they finally stopped the Falcons and were able to
Speaker 1: go down and score that touchdown. After the stop, they
Speaker 1: had Treyvon Diggs at left corner and Darryl Worley at
Speaker 1: right corner. And Worley had been playing some safety along
Speaker 1: with Brandon Carr, but in that situation they had him
Speaker 1: at right corner and they had Darian Thompson back at
Speaker 1: safety with Xavier Woods. So that's one thought. I think
Speaker 1: the other thought might be, you know, Brandon cars played
Speaker 1: twelve years at cornerback. You know, they kind of looked
Speaker 1: at him as a safety, but they would have that
Speaker 1: alternative if they want him to do that. And he
Speaker 1: has played left corner in this league. I believe bill
Speaker 1: that's what he did when he was here with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: He was on the left side right, So that's an alternative.
Speaker 1: I don't think they trust Jordan Lewis out there or
Speaker 1: want to put a short corner out on the edge.
Speaker 1: He had enough trouble inside in the slot. They don't
Speaker 1: need to be moved and him around. And you know,
Speaker 1: wor Yeah and Moorley also worked in the slot. So
Speaker 1: they have some combinations and it may be matchups. However,
Speaker 1: Seattle plays it. You know, they might play it too,
Speaker 1: depending on who their third wide receiver is. I gotta say,
Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about covering the slot receivers,
Speaker 1: that is probably the most difficult position on the entire field,
Speaker 1: probably besides playing quarterback. If I'm not mistaken. That's just
Speaker 1: my opinion. Putting Jordan Lewis out on the edge, Spags,
Speaker 1: it might actually be a little bit advantageous to him
Speaker 1: because you have once when you're in the slot, there
Speaker 1: is no tip off in regards to alignment and things
Speaker 1: of that nature. So the slot receiver seems to have
Speaker 1: the entire field, you know, to work with. If you
Speaker 1: went to put Jordan Lewis on the corner as a
Speaker 1: corner as a form of one, I think it would
Speaker 1: be a little bit easier for him because he really
Speaker 1: doesn't have to worry about covering someone all over the field.
Speaker 1: So Jordan Lewis, if it wasn't for his injuries that
Speaker 1: he was coming off of, he might have been a
Speaker 1: decent replacement. I look at playing the car I didn't
Speaker 1: think about that until you say something, Spags. I would think,
Speaker 1: seeing that that's his original position, that he would probably
Speaker 1: be that replacement. You know, my guy. And also, let
Speaker 1: me give you pause about putting Jordan Lewis out on
Speaker 1: the corner. There's a guy on the other side of
Speaker 1: the field named DK Metcalf. I don't think I would
Speaker 1: like that matchup corner against this monster out on the outside.
Speaker 1: Let's spags. I don't give a dog off you put
Speaker 1: on Metcalf. It's gonna be a mismatch. Okay, let's just
Speaker 1: be real. And I don't see what size. We don't
Speaker 1: have a cornerback. We don't have a quarterback on our
Speaker 1: roster that can match up with Medcalf. That's like saying
Speaker 1: you have a fourteen point play in your offensive game plan.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't happen. Now. If you look at Daryl
Speaker 1: Worley also as an option, I wasn't very impressed with
Speaker 1: him even trying to cover the tight ends last week.
Speaker 1: I think it wasn't the Rams game. I think maybe
Speaker 1: where he just let the tight end come inside on
Speaker 1: him when they were almost lined up all the way
Speaker 1: over to the sideline and he let him run an
Speaker 1: inside route. That as a cornerback is just unforgivable. You know,
Speaker 1: if he's lined up shaking the coach's hand on the sideline,
Speaker 1: then you need to be at an inside strong position,
Speaker 1: So a slant route should be the last thing that
Speaker 1: they should catch on you, and much less he let
Speaker 1: it happen from a tight end. So I don't know
Speaker 1: how much confidence they have in Worally being able to
Speaker 1: play cornerback if you can't even cover Bigsby on a
Speaker 1: slant route, So Bradon Carr might be your only option,
Speaker 1: and a timely option at that, seeing that they just
Speaker 1: they just activated them. And you know the other thing
Speaker 1: with Seattle, and they can obviously move guys around and
Speaker 1: put them in the slot, but I think they're normal
Speaker 1: slot receiver. Philip Dorset has been placed on injured reserve,
Speaker 1: so he's out. They're gonna have to rely on David
Speaker 1: Moore and maybe Freddie Swaddie Swain, he's a rookie. And
Speaker 1: their starters are dk Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, who obviously
Speaker 1: can play in the slot. I think Tyler Lockett is
Speaker 1: the ultimate slot guy. I think that if I if
Speaker 1: I'm Seattle, I'm gonna replace him in the slot and
Speaker 1: then we'll worry about who's on the outside. Because Lockett
Speaker 1: is We're gonna have some issues with that guy. Forget Metcalf.
Speaker 1: If you can keep up with Lockett, you're doing a
Speaker 1: good job, you know. And if you look at I
Speaker 1: haven't closely studied Seattle. I did watch a good bit
Speaker 1: to the game against the Patriots, the TV copy, But
Speaker 1: if you look at snap count Seattle against New England
Speaker 1: the other night, they used a lot of two tight
Speaker 1: ends against New England and it's basically a fifty fifty split.
Speaker 1: They had sixty five snaps in the game, where they're
Speaker 1: about sixty three snaps in the game, and their third receiver,
Speaker 1: David Moore, had thirty two snaps and their second tight end,
Speaker 1: Will Disley had thirty one snaps. So now that was
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and they probably were may have been
Speaker 1: going big a little bit against the Patriots, because as
Speaker 1: we talked about last week, New England is going with
Speaker 1: a lot of five and I mean their base is
Speaker 1: a five dB set. They're playing a safety at linebacker
Speaker 1: right now. And so anyway there, their approach against the
Speaker 1: Cowboys might be different than what it was against the
Speaker 1: Patriots last which, by the way, when excuse me, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys stopped them on that possession when Ouozier wasn't on
Speaker 1: the field. They they remained in their nickel, but they
Speaker 1: they brought the safety Darian Thompson to a linebacker spot,
Speaker 1: figuring they're gonna run the ball and try to drain
Speaker 1: the clock here. And so they basically played Thompson as
Speaker 1: a as a linebacker and Woods single safety high with
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis still in the slot. So there's different ways
Speaker 1: to do all this. Now it's not the only injury
Speaker 1: problem they still have to worry about. Tyrn Smith, Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy said, would be with the rehab group. So that means, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he's working on the resistance chords and working
Speaker 1: with the trainers, doing whatever he needs to do to
Speaker 1: get that neck ready to go. And DeMarcus right, no, no,
Speaker 1: not at all, I said, he's with the rehab group. So, uh,
Speaker 1: they're gonna it looks like they're easy trying to ease
Speaker 1: him back in, maybe get him to Sunday. I would
Speaker 1: imagine they think, well, he doesn't have to start, you know,
Speaker 1: and I and and there's one more and I'll get
Speaker 1: back to that. DeMarcus Lawrence miss for personal matters. Uh,
Speaker 1: he missed practice today, So we'll see where that one goes.
Speaker 1: And remember he had a little bit of a need
Speaker 1: deal and didn't play all that much in the second half,
Speaker 1: although you know what I saw the first possession of
Speaker 1: the third quarter and he was moving, you know, decently. Uh.
Speaker 1: They probably wanted to try to preserve him and you know,
Speaker 1: not cause the problem to get any any worse. But
Speaker 1: you know, when I went back and looked at some
Speaker 1: of the plays with Brandon Knight, he kind of did Okay,
Speaker 1: he wasn't you know, he wasn't getting blown up and
Speaker 1: they weren't having to put the tight end over there.
Speaker 1: You know, the tight end was a lot of the
Speaker 1: times on Terrence steel side or Zeke was helping to
Speaker 1: chip a little bit too over there. So uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean Brandon Knight, maybe you know, you probably don't
Speaker 1: want to go sixteen games with him, but you know,
Speaker 1: if if if Tyrn can play, he's he's probably maybe
Speaker 1: your you know, your swing tackle, or maybe they put
Speaker 1: him on the right side because that's where he's played.
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see since cam Irving's on
Speaker 1: I R and he's still out. And the one thing
Speaker 1: they did last week on Sunday, they took they moved
Speaker 1: Alex Light from the practice squad to the regular roster
Speaker 1: so he could be eligible to be the swing tackle
Speaker 1: on that day. And by the way, the update, i'd
Speaker 1: I'd love to reiterate how I have to have confidence
Speaker 1: in my fellow free agents. Okay, right, let's just be
Speaker 1: let's give them the benefit of the doubt. He did
Speaker 1: a great job last week, and I'm just like these bags.
Speaker 1: I went back and took a look at it. He
Speaker 1: was on his own out there, and he did a
Speaker 1: really good job. You can't fast the four hundred and
Speaker 1: plus yards without your tackles holding up well. And there
Speaker 1: are times when you can't chip and you can't put
Speaker 1: a tight end on the side, and you got to
Speaker 1: throw the balls down the field, right down the field.
Speaker 1: You can't get rid of it quickly every time and
Speaker 1: be effective. Yeah, there were times when we had to
Speaker 1: do the play asstion Dak had to hold it and
Speaker 1: Brandon had his back, literally had his back. Got an
Speaker 1: update their bit and the update, Chris Beam told me
Speaker 1: that Clarence Hill had tweeted that DeMarcus Lawrence is out
Speaker 1: today because his wife is in labor. That was two
Speaker 1: hours ago. I tried to confirm that myself by searching
Speaker 1: through Clarence Hill's timeline to try to find it. But
Speaker 1: it took. After I got through the thirty five retweets
Speaker 1: on Clarence Hill's timeline, I finally got confirmation myself. I
Speaker 1: finally got to that tweet two hours ago. I've never
Speaker 1: seen anybody in the world who retweets more than Clarence
Speaker 1: Hill the Star Telegram. Well, if you if you remember
Speaker 1: when when all this stuff came up about opting out,
Speaker 1: you know he was it was a consideration for him
Speaker 1: because his wife was pregnant. There you go. So if
Speaker 1: we go back and then he decided that she said
Speaker 1: you go play, I'll take care of the baby and
Speaker 1: so and this like it's the do day to day today.
Speaker 1: That's right. So that is a personal to the lowest family.
Speaker 1: And good job to you, Bill. Way to go, buddy,
Speaker 1: Way to dig it out, baby. Thanks to Chris Be

Speaker 1: tickets now to see the Cowboys take on the Browns
Speaker 1: when they return to AT and T Stadium on Sunday,
Speaker 1: October fourth. A limited number of tickets are on sale now.
Speaker 1: Get yours at Dallas Cowboys dot com slash tickets. The
Speaker 1: reason I asked that is I was taping the Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy TV show last night and at the end of
Speaker 1: the show, I always like to throw in that we'll
Speaker 1: see again next week when the Cowboys take on whatever team,
Speaker 1: and my mind drew a blank last I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't draw a blank on the air, but beforehand, I
Speaker 1: drew a blank. Who do they? Because I knew they
Speaker 1: played Cleveland the Giants in Arizona back to back to
Speaker 1: back at home in October, and I couldn't remember what
Speaker 1: order they were in. And it's because I am so
Speaker 1: focused on this game against Seattle. I don't know if
Speaker 1: the team has had this game circled, but I have
Speaker 1: had this game circled since the season started and since
Speaker 1: the schedule came out, because I'm just looking forward to
Speaker 1: this matchup against the Seahawks. And as it turns out,
Speaker 1: Seattle is obviously playing very well to start the season.
Speaker 1: At two and oh Russell Wilson with nine touchdown passes
Speaker 1: just one interception is playing particularly well. And so you know,
Speaker 1: most people, I think are going to pick the Seahawks
Speaker 1: to win this game because now they don't have the
Speaker 1: advantage of the twelves in the stands and that and
Speaker 1: that as loud as at that stadium normally is. But
Speaker 1: I think this is a game where if you especially
Speaker 1: you look in Dak Prescott's career, yeah, he comes through
Speaker 1: in big road games like this when he's got a
Speaker 1: good team around him. And so I think this is
Speaker 1: a really good test to see where the Cowboys really are.
Speaker 1: You know, they've scored seventy three points, that gets your
Speaker 1: attention right away, but they've also given up fifty five
Speaker 1: and it could have very well been sixty two with
Speaker 1: Cam at the one yard line right and they'd be
Speaker 1: one and one ended and they would have been one
Speaker 1: and one. So there were one play away from having
Speaker 1: scored all those points and still being one in one
Speaker 1: and having given up sixty two points. That's thirty one
Speaker 1: a game. So yeah, this will be it'll be an
Speaker 1: interesting matchup. I think a lot of it will have
Speaker 1: to do with if this Cowboy defense improves. And here's
Speaker 1: the other thing, and if you're not turned in the
Speaker 1: ball over five times, three lost fumbles, two fake punts.
Speaker 1: I think I counted all that up and it ended
Speaker 1: up being twenty six points. Those those turnovers led to
Speaker 1: twenty six points. It was two touchdowns or was it
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and two field goals? Three touchdowns in two fields.
Speaker 1: It was twenty to nothing after the after the first quarter,
Speaker 1: and then they scored again, and then they scored another
Speaker 1: touchdown I think in the so it was three touches
Speaker 1: off the fat off the fake punt in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: And remember and here's a big difference, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were stupid. They went for they went for two,
Speaker 1: didn't you know kick the extra point? Well, guess what
Speaker 1: Seattle did? I mean the Falcons did the same thing
Speaker 1: at twenty at twenty six, right, they tried to make
Speaker 1: it twenty eight instead of twenty seven, and they missed,
Speaker 1: and they missed. It didn't work, so you know, they
Speaker 1: they made a decision too. I kind of go back
Speaker 1: to where I got off yesterday about don't give me
Speaker 1: this stuff that they didn't deserve to win, or they
Speaker 1: got lucky Seattle didn't deserve to win either the way
Speaker 1: they played, and then the fact that they're screwed up
Speaker 1: the on site kick, which I finally got to listen
Speaker 1: to John Fossil talk about the watermelon kick and how
Speaker 1: they were just, yeah, they were screwing around and were
Speaker 1: trying to figure out ways to have an on site
Speaker 1: kick because last year only six or seven percent of
Speaker 1: the on site kicks were recovered and they kind of
Speaker 1: messed around and did this and John said, yeah. And
Speaker 1: then after that, you know, he tried it probably in
Speaker 1: practice when we're by ourselves, just the three of them,
Speaker 1: the punner, kicker and deep snapper, and he said he
Speaker 1: might have tried it like fifty times and trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how slow to kick it, what angled to
Speaker 1: kick it at at And he said, we only practice
Speaker 1: it twice on a Saturday before for three weeks, so
Speaker 1: two three saturdays in a row they practice it with
Speaker 1: the entire team. And then the other thing. And he
Speaker 1: didn't want to answer this one. It was pretty obvious
Speaker 1: and it was a good question. He said, was there
Speaker 1: was there a reason you kicked it to the Cowboys
Speaker 1: sideline because you didn't want the Falcons coaches to yell
Speaker 1: at him to jump on the ball and he goes.
Speaker 1: I'll reserve the right to not answer that question. So
Speaker 1: obviously it was yes, that actually makes him, That actually
Speaker 1: makes him seem like a kg uh Special Team's coach.
Speaker 1: But I mean, let's just be real. It was he
Speaker 1: had to kick it that way because of his right foot.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just to me as far as just
Speaker 1: because he's right foot. Using other question I had exactly
Speaker 1: the other question I had was, you know, when you
Speaker 1: come to the watermelon, was it yellowt me the red
Speaker 1: meat doesn't make a difference in how the ball, how
Speaker 1: it travels. I mean, that's something we need to research.
Speaker 1: But when you're talking about Fossil, Fossil is going to
Speaker 1: have his hands full this week. And you knows facts.
Speaker 1: Coach Carroll uses every tool in his book, He uses
Speaker 1: every fast of the game. He can get very tricky.
Speaker 1: His entire Special Teams staff, they're very cagy on what
Speaker 1: they can do. I think they really kind of match
Speaker 1: Fossil in their creativity. But hopefully we can be a
Speaker 1: little bit more strategic on when we go for it
Speaker 1: on fourth down. I don't see us doing something like
Speaker 1: that on the road going for these fourth down plays,
Speaker 1: at least not two in a row. That's something that's
Speaker 1: very risky. I mean, he's risky at home, you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be risky on the road. So let's just
Speaker 1: be let's have an eye out for just the chess
Speaker 1: match that's going to be going on, just between the
Speaker 1: special teams coaches on both sides. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be very interesting little chess match. The other thing
Speaker 1: about the watermelon kick, as Mike McCarthy pointed out in
Speaker 1: the taping of his show, it's not the first time
Speaker 1: that a John Fossil team has attempted the watermelon kick.
Speaker 1: They also attempted it against the Cowboys last year in
Speaker 1: the cowboys forty four to twenty one win over the Rams.
Speaker 1: But it was not Greg Zerline who was doing the honors.
Speaker 1: It was Johnny Hecker instead. The punter was handling the
Speaker 1: kickoff and he dribbled it out of bounds, and so
Speaker 1: it was not noteworthy at all. And so obviously Greg
Speaker 1: Zerline is a whole heck of a lot more efficient
Speaker 1: at it than Johnny he got. He got the thing
Speaker 1: to spend right. Maybe his watermelon kick was seedless, so
Speaker 1: it's spun better. You know the other thing about me,
Speaker 1: I like that black and it might have another thing
Speaker 1: about the special teams guys, that punter. Speaking of the punter,
Speaker 1: he got Special Teams Playing of the Week. If I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken, this guy say their offense every almost every
Speaker 1: time he kicked the ball. He put the Patriots in
Speaker 1: the hole almost every time he kicked it. When you
Speaker 1: can affect feel position from your punter, which we do
Speaker 1: sometimes here with Jones, we're very blessed to have a
Speaker 1: great punter as well. When you're talking about your punner
Speaker 1: getting Special Teams Player of the Week, that means that
Speaker 1: he made a big difference in the game, even without
Speaker 1: the twelfth man that they have out there. So cowboys
Speaker 1: an't gonna They're gonna have to be very respectful of that.
Speaker 1: And hey, even to Bill's little cheerleading side of things
Speaker 1: over there. That might give Ceedee Lamb a chance to
Speaker 1: return some Let's just think about that. He might OutKick
Speaker 1: his coverage because he's so good that Ceedee Lamb might
Speaker 1: have a chance to the house. I need I need
Speaker 1: to do some research on Cede Lamb versus Michael Dixon.
Speaker 1: The punter for Seattle of course, Texas Longhorn. Texas Longhorn
Speaker 1: fans of course know who Michael Dixon is, and any
Speaker 1: fans of the Big Twelve because he played at Texas.
Speaker 1: He was a fifth round pick two years ago. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's from Australia and one of a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: Australian punters who have come over here now. And there's
Speaker 1: a reason they made him a fifth round pick and
Speaker 1: he made the Pro Bowl his rookie season with the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: So good eye there, Everson, And now, okay, I have
Speaker 1: to figure out. So it would have been CD's freshman
Speaker 1: year at OU. If he was returning punts his freshman year,
Speaker 1: he might have tried to return one of Michael Dixon's
Speaker 1: punts at the cotton Ball. Well, if he wasn't, he
Speaker 1: should have been. But with OU's defense, I don't know
Speaker 1: that Texas ever punted. I show you that's the thing.
Speaker 1: If you're if you're a if you're punting in the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, you don't get a lot of exposure with
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve defenses. Right, That's like playing volleyball and
Speaker 1: not holding served. Right, That's exactly right, all right? The fact,
Speaker 1: the fact that he got drafted anyway, that says a
Speaker 1: whole lot about him. And those those those Australian punters
Speaker 1: when they come over here, they don't just kick. They
Speaker 1: love to kick a little lass as well, got a
Speaker 1: little rugby background in them. Uh and so when that
Speaker 1: when the if the returner comes their way, then they
Speaker 1: might some of them have the reputation of being able
Speaker 1: to bring that hat with them. And uh so let's
Speaker 1: look out for that as well. Yeah, I'm a little
Speaker 1: Texas ou payback on one way or the other. And
Speaker 1: in fact, Dixon was the Ray Guy Award winner at
Speaker 1: Texas and he was the MVP of the two thousand
Speaker 1: and seventeen Texas Bawl. All right, that is our punter talk.
Speaker 1: What I remember about that guy? You remember the Texas ball.
Speaker 1: I remember he did something that he ended up in
Speaker 1: the MVP of the game. I think he killed a
Speaker 1: bunch of that because they were playing against Missouri. They
Speaker 1: killed a bunch of and that was that was when
Speaker 1: Tom Herman made the antics on the sideline. Right. See
Speaker 1: now it's coming, Yeah, it's all coming back. Who's that
Speaker 1: quarterback from Missouri? They're welcome back? Who's now with the
Speaker 1: Denver Bronc goes and he's out a few weeks. Got
Speaker 1: a shoulder. That's exactly right, all right? We continue with

Speaker 1: be prepared for cashless transactions. Please be aware of all
Speaker 1: safe stadium policies prior to arriving at AT and T Stadium.
Speaker 1: Visit Dallas Cowboys dot com slash safe Stadium for details.
Speaker 1: And I bet the extra detail on that is good
Speaker 1: to be. Wear a mask and keep it on too,
Speaker 1: by the way, otherwise you get one hundred thousand dollars. Fine, well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Man sure got their hands slapped
Speaker 1: right fans for not keeping their masks gone in the
Speaker 1: stadium because there won a lot of masks done in
Speaker 1: the second half. I must admit, did you hear they
Speaker 1: asked Mike McCarthy about it, about the fines those guys
Speaker 1: were getting. He goes, it's a lot of money. That's
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. One hundred thousand dollars. That
Speaker 1: is no joke. I thought there was going to be
Speaker 1: something way under six figures. They went straight straight to
Speaker 1: the top straight to the head one hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: and they find the teams two hundred and fifty thousand each.
Speaker 1: You know what, A million dollars in fines went out
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and then and then and then seven
Speaker 1: hundred more on Monday night because neither of them had
Speaker 1: their masks gun with. With head coach salaries these days
Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's a lot less money to them
Speaker 1: than it is to us. That might going out to
Speaker 1: dinner for us sometimes I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: what the percentage of that is? And so what would
Speaker 1: be the equivalent in finding us one hundred dollars? They're
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars? Fine, yeah, yeah, I think that's
Speaker 1: about right about. Yeah, all right. We talked about the
Speaker 1: Special Teams Player of the Week, and I don't know
Speaker 1: how in the world you give it to a punter
Speaker 1: over Greg Zerline and the watermelon kick, But they did
Speaker 1: that exactly, the watermelon kick in a winning field goal.
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought, I thought for sure that had
Speaker 1: sealed the Special Teams Player of the Week. Ah, it's
Speaker 1: the first thing I thought of, all right, Speaking of Dak,
Speaker 1: what about what about some other award winners. Jack won
Speaker 1: the NFC Offensive Player of the Week, so that probably
Speaker 1: Trump given it so they couldn't give it to two counts.
Speaker 1: And somebody noticed that he threw for four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty yards with two backup undrafted tackles out there and
Speaker 1: led an offense with five hundred and seventy yards and
Speaker 1: scored forty points in the game without the help of
Speaker 1: any takeaways or botched fake punts or whatever trickery that
Speaker 1: the Falcons might have tried. So he had he had
Speaker 1: one fumble, but he had no interceptions as well. I
Speaker 1: am all right, And it wasn't a fumble. It was
Speaker 1: a sack fumble, meaning he got blasted and the ball
Speaker 1: came out. Yeah, well he was, you know, he was
Speaker 1: trying to do a little more than what he needed
Speaker 1: to do. He needed to just go ahead and take
Speaker 1: the sack, but he was trying to get it out
Speaker 1: to Dalton Schultz there and didn't work out. So well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, all right. The other thing we want to
Speaker 1: mention before the end of mix shots is the passing
Speaker 1: of the great Gale Sayers at the age of seventy
Speaker 1: seven a day. Wow, what a talent. Gayl Sayers was.
Speaker 1: It was an NFL career that was cut short due
Speaker 1: to injury, but the youngest player to be voted into
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame at age thirty four.
Speaker 1: That's how good he was in his short NFL career.
Speaker 1: And on YouTube, I'm sure you can go back and
Speaker 1: watch some of those highlights. GAYL Sayers was sensational. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. So he was a rookie first round
Speaker 1: draft choice in sixty five by the Bears, so I
Speaker 1: got to watch a lot of Gayl Sayers. And as
Speaker 1: I've told you guys before, I grew up a Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers fan, and he used to run circles around
Speaker 1: the Packers and I was going to say the defense
Speaker 1: but on special teams they could not catch him. It
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. And I can't tell you I probably was well.
Speaker 1: I was probably around that age where you kind of
Speaker 1: knew some cuss words and if I had no more
Speaker 1: in a little older I can't tell you how many
Speaker 1: times I yelled at the TV when they could not
Speaker 1: stop Gail Sayers. He was unbelievable. He was awfully, awfully,
Speaker 1: awfully good. And how about this, if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: that draft, not only do they get Gail Sayers, but
Speaker 1: they drafted Dick Buckas too, out of the University of
Speaker 1: Villa Wow. Yeah. At nineteen sixty five draft, as says
Speaker 1: was the fourth pick. Okay, here is the sixty five draft,
Speaker 1: which was a pretty good draft for the Cowboys too.
Speaker 1: If I were at sixty four, was really good for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, all right. Top five picks of the may
Speaker 1: you can go further than that, Top top seven picks
Speaker 1: of the nineteen sixty five draft. The New York Giants
Speaker 1: number one overall, took Tucker Frederickson, running back out of Auburn.
Speaker 1: San Francisco took Ken Willard, fullback out of North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Number three pick. The Chicago Bears select Dick Buttkas middle
Speaker 1: linebacker Illinois. Number four pick. The Bears take GAYL. Says,
Speaker 1: half back from Kansas. The fifth pick, the Cowboys select
Speaker 1: Craig Morton, quarterback from cal And the reason I want
Speaker 1: to go to number seven. Number seven, the Green Bay
Speaker 1: Packers take the Golden Tellamino. It was Donnie and Donnie
Speaker 1: Anderson out of Texas take I remember they followed that
Speaker 1: up with Jim Grubowski. Well, they first followed it up
Speaker 1: with Larry Elkins out of base Joe Namath. Joe Namath
Speaker 1: was the twelfth pick of the Saint Louis Cardinals in
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty five draft. Of course, he also was
Speaker 1: picked by the New York Jets, and he made his
Speaker 1: fame with the New York Jets. So how about this
Speaker 1: from gilbrad Well. We have to point out though, that
Speaker 1: I think Gayl Say has probably had the best individual
Speaker 1: performance in any game. What was the six touchdowns on
Speaker 1: an extremely muddy field? That YouTube game can be looked
Speaker 1: up as well. Of that game can be looked up
Speaker 1: on YouTube as well. I believe two of those touchdowns
Speaker 1: were punt returns. Just as Spaggs was talking about just
Speaker 1: how diverse he was. These days, you don't find the
Speaker 1: running back that also volunteers and excels at punt return.
Speaker 1: You could just imagine putting Tony Dorset back there to
Speaker 1: catch punts. Wouldn't put Smith punts, guarantee you you wouldn't
Speaker 1: want you wouldn't want Emmy Smith back there trying to
Speaker 1: return punts. I just couldn't see that. But that's just
Speaker 1: how dynamic Gail Says was. He wasn't just a punt returner.
Speaker 1: He was the best punt returner that the league has
Speaker 1: probably ever seen in its history. So he was so fast.
Speaker 1: He was so fast that even the mud couldn't slow
Speaker 1: him down. And I've got the details that never failed.
Speaker 1: He never slipped on That one time he did slip.
Speaker 1: I believe that was the time he got injured with
Speaker 1: a career ending injury. And he had that six touchdown
Speaker 1: game came his rookie season in nineteen sixty five to
Speaker 1: twenty win over the forty nine ers at Wrigley Field
Speaker 1: in Chicago. He had three hundred and twenty six yards
Speaker 1: in the game and six touchdowns. And they're still trying
Speaker 1: to stop rookie season, rookie season. That's amazing. This tweet
Speaker 1: from Gil Brandt, this tells you what Gil's memory is.
Speaker 1: He said, Gail Sayers and I go back to nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty three when he was at Kansas. John Hadel's sister,
Speaker 1: Carol was football secretary at the school and introduced us.
Speaker 1: I asked him to tell me about the place he
Speaker 1: grew up. He told me all about Omaha, Nebraska in
Speaker 1: his days at Central High School. Only Gil would remember
Speaker 1: that stuff from that far back It's absolutely amazing. I
Speaker 1: think I think, I think Gail keeps names of certain
Speaker 1: people so he can blackmail them in the future. That
Speaker 1: has to be the only reason he remembers and writes
Speaker 1: down all of that stuff. Unreal. But what is Gail
Speaker 1: Sairs best remembered for, most remembered for the movie Brian
Speaker 1: Brian's song or Wait ten times at least? And I
Speaker 1: ran across it a couple months ago when we were
Speaker 1: just searching for stuff to watch. And I'll guarantee you
Speaker 1: for this tenth time, I shed a tear. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of easy on that. And for those of you who
Speaker 1: are under the age of whatever they like nineteen seventy one,
Speaker 1: it was Brian's song in nineteen seventy one ABC Movie
Speaker 1: of the Week, so it was made for TV. I
Speaker 1: didn't even realize it was a made for TV movie
Speaker 1: and yeah network, uh. And of course Brian Billy Billy
Speaker 1: d Williams played the role of gayl Sayers and James
Speaker 1: Cono is Brian Piccolo. And of course the tragic story
Speaker 1: of Brian Piccolo, who died of cancer at a very
Speaker 1: young age, is when he was playing for the Chicago
Speaker 1: Bears was diagnosed with it. He was the fullback, so
Speaker 1: he was leading the way. Yeah, the great movie. He
Speaker 1: can probably find that somewhere. Well, I'm sure, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's on YouTube. Yeah, all right, we ate up the
Speaker 1: entire last segment. And and I'm glad we did you
Speaker 1: know GAYL. Sayers one of the greats of National Football
Speaker 1: League history. Oh and and uh, I was looking at
Speaker 1: Gill's got like, go go to Gill's Twitter account and
Speaker 1: just he's got about five things on Gail's Sayers and
Speaker 1: different things on. He was also drafted by the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: by the way Gill points out, he was the fifth
Speaker 1: pick overall by the Chiefs, the same spot the Bears
Speaker 1: took him. He said, in the dridge, you say he
Speaker 1: was fifth or fourth, fourth? He was fourth. A Gil
Speaker 1: made him a small mistake there, huh uh, he said,
Speaker 1: he said, Oh, this is a good one. This is Gil.
Speaker 1: I might have played a small role, but it was
Speaker 1: his wife who convinced him to play in Chicago rather
Speaker 1: than with the Kansas City Chiefs. Yes, absolutely, all right, Everson,
Speaker 1: that does it for this addition to mix shots, we
Speaker 1: appreciate you and I know that you've got some hot
Speaker 1: sports opinions. About these Seattle Seahawks the next couple of days, right,
Speaker 1: and I think we might Oh, okay, all right, I
Speaker 1: was gonna give him the final word, but he'll have
Speaker 1: to get the final word tomorrow, all right. We lost
Speaker 1: that injury report should come out here in about a
Speaker 1: half hour or so, so we'll have an update on
Speaker 1: just where everybody's at, and including with Seattle, because we
Speaker 1: remember we pointed out that they've got some injury probably too,
Speaker 1: they lost their best paths to two acls last week,
Speaker 1: Bruce Irvin and as well as Mark east Blair defensive back,
Speaker 1: so they're hurting too. All right. We'll have Mick shots
Speaker 1: again tomorrow at one thirty. Have a great rest of
Speaker 1: your Wednesday. M hmm. This has been a production of
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
