Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, this is Mick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. Go Dallas how Boys, seas Boys stand Ah. Yes,
Speaker 1: another victory Monday. Here are the Star in Frisco inside
Speaker 1: the s WBC Mortgage studios. And what a victory it was? Yes,
Speaker 1: what a fourth quarter it was? You know in that
Speaker 1: Stampede fight song was played back in the sixties in
Speaker 1: at one point in nineteen sixty eight, the Cowboys over
Speaker 1: a five game span scored one hundred eighty five points
Speaker 1: at one point in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys match that,
Speaker 1: and then they surpass that mark with one hundred ninety
Speaker 1: nine points now over a five game stretch, the most
Speaker 1: number of points over any five game stretch in Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys history, thanks to a thirty three point fourth quarter
Speaker 1: that is only matched in NFL history by the two
Speaker 1: thousand and seven Detroit Lions, a game quarterback by John Kittner.
Speaker 1: A fourth quarter, I'm talking fourth quarter points quarter against
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears they got thirty four and the nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty five Chicago Cardinals a game that Mickey attended against
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Badgers, and they were probably stale. You're in Chicago,
Speaker 1: you're in Chicago, they I think they were playing, And
Speaker 1: that is matter of fact. I did add it up
Speaker 1: even more since Dak's returned. It's two hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: three points in sixty games, thirty seven points a game. Now,
Speaker 1: obviously the offense didn't or all those pounds for all
Speaker 1: of them, but um, you know they responded. So yeah,
Speaker 1: what a what an avalanche of points in that fourth quarter?
Speaker 1: That's right. And of course this is a big day
Speaker 1: here at the Star in Frisco as we are on
Speaker 1: Odell Watch here and I saw a red carpet. What
Speaker 1: no I saw out on the practice field, a white
Speaker 1: haired gentleman that was going through drills when you walked in.
Speaker 1: Just now, yep, you don't notice Everson Walls in the
Speaker 1: studio here, right? Oh? You think the Cowboys haven't need
Speaker 1: right now, I'm thinking maybe that is why Everson isn't
Speaker 1: here in the studio. He might have been out on
Speaker 1: that practice field. He might have been that guy that
Speaker 1: I saw out their world. Let me go lost field.
Speaker 1: Cowboys need a cornerback, Yeah, Ken O'Dell play corner I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think so either, And I
Speaker 1: don't think we talked about it leading up to the
Speaker 1: trade deadline when Jordan Lewis went down. That's right that
Speaker 1: they need to look at cornerback more so or even
Speaker 1: as much so as wide receiver. But now I don't
Speaker 1: think you'll find one out on the Cowboys trade, right,
Speaker 1: That's right. So you have what you have, Calvin Joseph,
Speaker 1: you know, this is your life you're about to find
Speaker 1: out if you're an NFL player. And then they you know,
Speaker 1: they also have Um I forgot his first name, Sheffield
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. He's got some experience, but they
Speaker 1: might need him anyway just to have another corner to
Speaker 1: be active unless they with John Wright. So we'll see
Speaker 1: where that one goes. Yeah. There if there was any Kendall,
Speaker 1: Sheffield Kendall, if there was any downside to a fifty
Speaker 1: four nineteen victory, that was it. And Anthony Brown I
Speaker 1: just feel bad for him. Um, you know, this was
Speaker 1: his I mean this last year of his contract. He's
Speaker 1: a he's a free agent next year. That's right, And
Speaker 1: boy turns twenty nine next week December fifteenth. Gosh, And
Speaker 1: he's had injuries through his career and finally last year
Speaker 1: and this year he other than the concussion, he was
Speaker 1: healthy and then this happens. And speaking from experience, he's
Speaker 1: in for a long haul with a torn achilles. And
Speaker 1: it is a torn achilles. It has been confirmed. I
Speaker 1: confirmed it confirmed. I confirmed. You looked at the video
Speaker 1: and confirmed it. Actually I did, doctor Chow. I just
Speaker 1: I just saw it on the video as a matter
Speaker 1: of fact. It was on it during that eight minute
Speaker 1: touchdown drive or the Colts. It was the second and
Speaker 1: fifteen play about six minutes to go, I think in
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Um the play ended up. Um god,
Speaker 1: he wasn't even involved in That was the worst thing.
Speaker 1: Why it usually happens right, Um, second and fifteen? Where's
Speaker 1: it at right here? Jonathan Taylor nineteen yard completion? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was. He was it. They completed the past
Speaker 1: not in I mean kind of in his area, but
Speaker 1: he was covering somebody and it looked like he was
Speaker 1: coming down or up to try to chase him, and
Speaker 1: somebody kind of pushed them from behind or tried to
Speaker 1: block him, and all of a sudden he pulled up
Speaker 1: and he started limping, and it's like, oh, it wasn't
Speaker 1: even contact. It's almost like if you had seen it,
Speaker 1: you knew you know what happened. In six plays later,
Speaker 1: score Alec Pierce covered by Kelvin Joseph to pull it
Speaker 1: within twenty one nineteen. Then Duran Bland made a great
Speaker 1: play on the two point conversion right, keep the lead
Speaker 1: at twenty one nineteen and then the onslot starting. So
Speaker 1: do you what's more valuable to you, Duran Bland in
Speaker 1: the slot or Duran Bland on the corner, because usually
Speaker 1: the slot's harder to play. Somewhat Well, I think it's
Speaker 1: you gotta you have what you have. Would you have
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph and Duran Bland right and Diggs? That's it, right,
Speaker 1: And so it's it's whatever the combination is between Joseph
Speaker 1: and Bland and what's the better fit for both of them.
Speaker 1: And I haven't seen them use Joseph in the slot,
Speaker 1: so I'm thinking he's outside corner and Bland, who has
Speaker 1: been playing the slot. It continues playing the slot, especially
Speaker 1: after his two interceptions, right, exactly and the broken up
Speaker 1: two point Yeah, he's been pretty good in there. So
Speaker 1: uh yeah, if I mean, welcome to the NFL. Just
Speaker 1: when you think you can celebrate, you know, and then
Speaker 1: you have one of those that you got to overcome
Speaker 1: with your with your roster. And as Mike McCarthy continued
Speaker 1: to say, that's why you keep young guys engaged because
Speaker 1: some point in December you're going to need him. And
Speaker 1: and you think, you look at the entire roster and
Speaker 1: they have been fortified at every position basically except with
Speaker 1: the exception of that one. That one, and we talked
Speaker 1: about it a month ago after Lewis went down. That
Speaker 1: is the one position that it looked like well and
Speaker 1: wide receiver would have been one two if you lost
Speaker 1: either Gallop or Lamb. Okay, but that is the one
Speaker 1: of a couple of positions where okay, you lose that
Speaker 1: guy or you lose one of those starters, and now
Speaker 1: you're really depleted at that position because now you can't
Speaker 1: lose another one. I mean think about it, You've you've
Speaker 1: now lost two of your top three corners. Um, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a that's going to be That's why you drafted
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph in the second round last year. Now you
Speaker 1: find out that's right, um, you know, and if he
Speaker 1: if he can't do it, he can't do it. Otherwise
Speaker 1: you have to play your defense differently at a compensate.
Speaker 1: If Kelvin Joseph was what you expect out of a
Speaker 1: second round draft pick right then his second year he
Speaker 1: should be contributing. And so now he has his chance
Speaker 1: to contribute. I just worry about his awareness. Like right
Speaker 1: off the bat punt, it's like, what are you looking at? Right? Oh,
Speaker 1: at some point you got to look up. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we're about to find out. But other than that,
Speaker 1: how about them cowboys? It was, as I described in
Speaker 1: my column that should be going up soon. It was
Speaker 1: kind of a laugher, and you don't get many laughers
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Part of the reason that it was
Speaker 1: a laugher was the approach that the Colts were taking.
Speaker 1: Go figure, all right, do you want to just you
Speaker 1: go ahead. Do you want to get into the superlatives first,
Speaker 1: or do you want to get into we can do
Speaker 1: this later in the show, or we can continue let's
Speaker 1: talk superlatives at the top here, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: what position group stood out amongst all of them in
Speaker 1: last night's game. If you had to look at one
Speaker 1: position group wide receivers, probably not what you were thinking
Speaker 1: just looking through the stat sheet and watching the game.
Speaker 1: The defensive line like a great game. You're right. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I wrote it down at some
Speaker 1: point in the game that the top It might have
Speaker 1: been at halftime, the let me see and and it's
Speaker 1: blitz packages for Quinn. I mean, the Colts had no
Speaker 1: clue as far as their protection in the on offense
Speaker 1: they're they're playing. You know, the Cowboys had guys lining
Speaker 1: up to blitz, like Donovan Wilson coming free or someone
Speaker 1: off the edge whatever. I mean, they had no chance
Speaker 1: once the Cowboys started using their blitz and a lot
Speaker 1: of those blitzes were coming from inside right exactly, Donovan
Speaker 1: Wilson right, he's lined up right over, Yeah, lined up
Speaker 1: right over in the A gap right, and nobody picks
Speaker 1: him up. So here was my note at halftime. I
Speaker 1: put d L defensive lineman totaled at halftime, twelve tackles.
Speaker 1: Twelve tackles at halftime, and let me let me run
Speaker 1: through them. Okay, DeMarcus Lawrence and forty nine Snaps had
Speaker 1: three tackles, two quarterback hurries, OsO Digazoo A thirty three
Speaker 1: Snaps had five tackles, a sack, two quarterback hurries and
Speaker 1: a forced fumble Towards Armstrong two tackles. Neville Gallimore three tackles,
Speaker 1: Chauncey Gholston a tackle. Sam Williams had two tackles, a
Speaker 1: tackle for loss, a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Carlos
Speaker 1: Watkins had two tackles, and Jonathan Hankins had five tackles,
Speaker 1: including a tackle for loss. Yeah yeah, and he that
Speaker 1: didn't even take into account Parsons who had two tackles,
Speaker 1: a quarterback hurry and a past defense and that probably
Speaker 1: was Hankin's best game. And then Barr, who was lining
Speaker 1: up at times again got a sack and a tackle
Speaker 1: for loss, a quarterback hurry, and they used him kind
Speaker 1: of sparingly in special situation twenty four snaps. Damon Clark
Speaker 1: is the dude. Well, but it frees and that frees
Speaker 1: up Bar to use him in specialty situations, right, you know,
Speaker 1: as a as a SAM linebacker. It's actually when that's
Speaker 1: what he needs to be. When they brought him in.
Speaker 1: It was like, and he has pass rush capability exactly.
Speaker 1: He's he's got He's like a Swiss Army knife at
Speaker 1: at linebacker where he can rush the passer or he
Speaker 1: can drop. But see when when when they brought him in,
Speaker 1: one of the things they said is we can use
Speaker 1: him as a pass rushing and um, gosh, that poor
Speaker 1: Colts offensive line. You know what I kind of on Friday,
Speaker 1: I was talking about the Cowboys ability to get sacks
Speaker 1: um and would they end up with three more? Three more?
Speaker 1: They get forty eight on the season, and I mean,
Speaker 1: you look through the annals of NFL history and they're
Speaker 1: right up there amongst the top teams in the history
Speaker 1: of the league with forty eight sacks through twelve games
Speaker 1: and seven quarterback hits pressures however you want to count them.
Speaker 1: I changed how I wrote it because I had initially
Speaker 1: wrote that poor Matt Ryan's going to be running for
Speaker 1: his life, and I said, Okay, not his life. Let's
Speaker 1: kind of simmer down just a little. But in actuality
Speaker 1: that's what took place. Goodness, gracious, they couldn't. I think
Speaker 1: it's that same story about twelfth verse for the for
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, and well, tenth for him because he didn't
Speaker 1: play a couple of games, right gosh. I mean, so
Speaker 1: he ended up twenty one of thirty seven for two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three yards, three sacks, two touchdowns, three interceptions,
Speaker 1: a quarterback rating of fifty nine point nine. And I
Speaker 1: guess the question that Saturday got on Sunday night was
Speaker 1: why didn't you change quarterbacks? And he was like, I
Speaker 1: think he thought I didn't want to get the other
Speaker 1: two guys hurt, right, and even going forward? He was
Speaker 1: asked what about going forward? And he said it's too fresh. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well we'll look at it. But yeah, and and he
Speaker 1: you know, and they they they they should have he
Speaker 1: should have had the intentional grounding too. When they said
Speaker 1: he was outside the box, there was not outside the box.
Speaker 1: I don't know what those guys were looking at. And
Speaker 1: the worst thing for them was on TV when they
Speaker 1: showed the replay again, they had a red dotted line
Speaker 1: from the tackle coming out. He was two yards inside
Speaker 1: the dotted line. All right, it's time for a break, Okay,
Speaker 1: So when we come back, I'm gonna tell you where
Speaker 1: when the Colts lost this game? All right, Okay, you
Speaker 1: think about when did the Colts lose the game? I
Speaker 1: got it? Kind of an idea, all right, when we
Speaker 1: come back on mix shots in just a moment. The
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor is our country's highest military word for
Speaker 1: valor and combat. More than forty million individuals have served
Speaker 1: in the armed forces since the Civil War. Fewer than
Speaker 1: four thousand have received the Medal of Honor. The National
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Museum will be a place to preserve
Speaker 1: these legacies and inspire America. It's being built right next

Speaker 1: when did the Colts lose that game last night? A
Speaker 1: fifty four to nineteen Cowboys win. That was actually a
Speaker 1: twenty one nineteen game when they scored. The Colts scored
Speaker 1: with three forty three to play in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: Cowboys at the thirteen fifty two mark of the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter got the Michael Gallup touchdown to make it twenty
Speaker 1: eight to nineteen. But I'll take you back further than that.
Speaker 1: The end of the first half of that game, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys score, the Colts score to cut the Cowboys lead
Speaker 1: to fourteen thirteen. Cowboys get the ball and after a
Speaker 1: three and out, Colts have the football back. They've got
Speaker 1: time enough on the clock. Do you have the time
Speaker 1: where they took a one one nineteen left in the
Speaker 1: first half at the twenty seven at their own twenty
Speaker 1: seven yard line. Okay, they start their possession, they go incomplete,
Speaker 1: incomplete pass to Paris Campbell for ten yards in a
Speaker 1: first down incomplete. It's still one oh three to play
Speaker 1: and they have run off one two three four plays
Speaker 1: and one oh three left on a second and ten
Speaker 1: from the forty yard line is the maliek Cooker interception
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys then turn that into a touchdown number
Speaker 1: thirteen on a thirteen yard pass with thirteen seconds left
Speaker 1: in the half to make it twenty one thirteen Dallas. Ye,
Speaker 1: that possession by the Colts that started with one nineteen
Speaker 1: to play in the first half, down by one point,
Speaker 1: and then you're coughing up the football with fifty five
Speaker 1: seconds left on an interception and you have thrown five
Speaker 1: straight passes on that possession. What are you thinking? And
Speaker 1: they left the Cowboys fifty five seconds and left him
Speaker 1: with timeouts too. Yeah, And and the Cowboys basically were
Speaker 1: they were number one conceding the run because when they
Speaker 1: went out there, it was first and ten At the
Speaker 1: twenty seven I wrote down here was the defensive front fowler,
Speaker 1: Lawrence Armstrong Parsons. They were playing for a pass they
Speaker 1: were gonna they didn't. They were like conceding the run. Basically,
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday and the young offensive coordinators thirty one years old,
Speaker 1: you have to understand who you are and you have
Speaker 1: to be happy that you were in a fourteen thirteen game.
Speaker 1: Right now, with the Cowboys approa coaching halftime, you have
Speaker 1: to run the football there and get it down under
Speaker 1: at the very least, make the Cowboys use their timeouts
Speaker 1: and a good play even in that situation. For a
Speaker 1: team like the Colts, I'm not saying the Cowboys necessarily
Speaker 1: would take the same approach, but for a team like
Speaker 1: the Colts who's trying to they are trying to be
Speaker 1: in this game in the fourth quarter, you have to
Speaker 1: You've got an opportunity because the Cowboys gave you the
Speaker 1: football back there with a minute nineteen left, that you
Speaker 1: can take care of the rest of the first half
Speaker 1: and not be down by any more than one point
Speaker 1: at fourteen thirteen, And they could have played even if
Speaker 1: they just played for a field goal. They were getting
Speaker 1: the kickoff, and they're getting a kickoff to start the
Speaker 1: second I got greedy. They were trying to do it.
Speaker 1: They think that they are an NFL team, and it
Speaker 1: bit them because they didn't score there. Set the Cowboys
Speaker 1: up for the score. And then when they got the
Speaker 1: possession to start the third quarter, they went three and yeah,
Speaker 1: but and then the Cowboys went three out and then
Speaker 1: they go on their ninety yard fifteen play drive, and
Speaker 1: they wound up cutting the lead to twenty one to nineteen.
Speaker 1: But had they managed the end of the first half,
Speaker 1: then they could have been in a position And I
Speaker 1: understand the game plays out differently, right, different score, but
Speaker 1: they could have been in a position where they could
Speaker 1: have been ahead in the third quarter there and then
Speaker 1: you even take it to the fourth quarter. Why are
Speaker 1: you chunking the ball all over the place when you're down,
Speaker 1: even when you fall behind thirty four to nineteen. Okay,
Speaker 1: just keep with your game plan. You know that's your
Speaker 1: best chance because you have a twelve game history here
Speaker 1: of turning the ball over. You're leading the league in turnovers.
Speaker 1: Oh here's here was my pick. So the one that
Speaker 1: they took back. It was twenty one nineteen. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: were second and six at the at their thirty five
Speaker 1: yard line. CD falls down. It looks like they they
Speaker 1: they picked it. They ruled it an incomplete pass, but
Speaker 1: after the apparent pick number forty four, there's strong safety
Speaker 1: gets the fifteen yard penalty for hitting CD late. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't late if it looked like an interception, right,
Speaker 1: So that was a weird deal, and that ended up
Speaker 1: putting giving the Cowboys the ball first and ten at
Speaker 1: the twenty and then they go on to finish That
Speaker 1: was at the end of the third quarter, and then
Speaker 1: dak to CD down to the three yard line. All right,
Speaker 1: I mean even in the fourth quarter they get the
Speaker 1: ball twenty eight nineteen, right, yeah, but even when they're
Speaker 1: down after the fumble returned by Hooker, they're down thirty
Speaker 1: four to nineteen. And now you're just passing the ball
Speaker 1: all over the lot and then Bland gets an interception
Speaker 1: and you're only taking a minute and a half off
Speaker 1: the clock when you because you're throwing it on every
Speaker 1: down and your bread and butter running the football. It's
Speaker 1: a two score game with thirteen and a half minutes left.
Speaker 1: It's still even at that point. A punch's not a
Speaker 1: bad play for a team like the Colts. That's how
Speaker 1: you that's how a team scores thirty three points in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of a game. Although although the first play,
Speaker 1: I mean, they threw the ball, but it was a
Speaker 1: screen pass and the kid fumbled it, so right, and
Speaker 1: it's not to say that you're right, you're not going
Speaker 1: to turn it over anyway. And that's when that's when
Speaker 1: Hooker picked up the ball and ran for it. That anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, so your your Horker pick looked pretty good. Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: do we talk about the way what were your remember?
Speaker 1: What was I don't even remember. We don't ever remember
Speaker 1: our picks to click when they don't play, don't click? Right?
Speaker 1: I think mine was Armstrong. I figured he'd get a
Speaker 1: couple of sacks. He didn't um but he played well.
Speaker 1: But he played well. And of course I only picked
Speaker 1: took her because he's a former cult Yeah, like he's
Speaker 1: going to do team. But look here, here's the deal
Speaker 1: on this game for the Cowboys, and I thought it
Speaker 1: was similar, similar to what happened on Thanksgiving against the Giants.
Speaker 1: They give points away by their own mistakes, but they're
Speaker 1: good enough to come back and erase the mistakes because
Speaker 1: if you look at the first half, they gifted the
Speaker 1: Colts thirteen points. Right, because the opening field goal when
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph got called for the fair catch interference fifteen
Speaker 1: yards from a nice return are fifteen yards, They ended
Speaker 1: up kicking a fifty seven yard field goal. Yeah they had.
Speaker 1: It was a nineteen yard six play drive for a
Speaker 1: field goal for a field goal, right, so you you
Speaker 1: handed them a field goal, and then on the touchdown,
Speaker 1: it was basically a one play forty five yard completion
Speaker 1: right Alec Pierce Pierce and somehow Anthony Brown, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how he didn't get the ball, and then Hooker
Speaker 1: was late getting over uh, and it was basically a
Speaker 1: one play drive and they scored the touchdown. And then
Speaker 1: the I'm trying to remember the next field goal they kicked. Um,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys handed them that too. That was the interception
Speaker 1: by Gilmore. Yeah, right, when when Gallup was it Gallop?
Speaker 1: There was contact? Yeah, there was contact, right, Gilmore and Gallop,
Speaker 1: but he had to cross his face and he got
Speaker 1: the contact, knocked them down. They get the pick and
Speaker 1: then there's enough. So thirteen points in that first half.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys handed him. But they overcame it eventually, right,
Speaker 1: and you have a really good team, same thing, same
Speaker 1: thing like the siance, you know, the two they overcame,
Speaker 1: two interceptions, kind of lackluster play in the in the
Speaker 1: first thirteen penalties. They overcame and they were good enough
Speaker 1: to win the game, and it should have been by
Speaker 1: more than eight. They gave up that garbage touchdown at
Speaker 1: the end. But that shows you because a lot of times,
Speaker 1: if you're not good enough, you don't overcome those things,
Speaker 1: and then you're you lose and you're sitting there going, well,
Speaker 1: here's why we lost this, this and this. But when
Speaker 1: you win and do it the way they did, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. Stuff covers up a lot awards.
Speaker 1: Yeah so, and again good on the four takeaways in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But then the offense did what they
Speaker 1: were supposed to do and they did something with them right.
Speaker 1: They scored and scored and scored, So that tells you
Speaker 1: if they ever get this thing straight like they did
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. There were no gifts and they won forty
Speaker 1: to three against a team that's now, uh what ten
Speaker 1: and two? Ten and two? And you beat him forty
Speaker 1: to three? All right, um, what else is on your
Speaker 1: legal pad there? We need to get to Odell at
Speaker 1: some point. Yes, we'll do that, right. Everybody wanted to
Speaker 1: make a big deal out of Zeke not starting, okay,
Speaker 1: and there's various theories out there why he didn't. Um,
Speaker 1: his was, yeah, they just wanted to try something different.
Speaker 1: It was fine with me. We're gonna go with the
Speaker 1: speed and then we're gonna come in and when they
Speaker 1: were worn down, I was gonna pummel him. Right, What
Speaker 1: did how did Jerry phrase it? It was the nature
Speaker 1: of the offense was like a phone going off in
Speaker 1: the meeting or something. Right, it was a cell phone offense. Right,
Speaker 1: So they slapped him with not star, you don't get
Speaker 1: to start, and he wound up with more snaps than
Speaker 1: Paulard had. Yes, absolutely, seventeen to twelve, right, And they
Speaker 1: both ended up for like snaps, it's thirty eight twenty eight. No, No,
Speaker 1: I meant the snaps their own snaps seventeen rushes. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: seven h h snaps. Yeah, it was seventeen to twelve.
Speaker 1: So I reminded everybody the story from um, I think
Speaker 1: it was ninety two. The Cowboys were on the way
Speaker 1: to Detroit and Michael Irvin was late for the charter,
Speaker 1: and when I guess, the flight attendant came to Jimmy
Speaker 1: and said, we got everybody but Michael. And he asked
Speaker 1: the flight attendant what time is it? And she said
Speaker 1: two o'clock. What time were you supposed to leave? Two o'clock?
Speaker 1: All right, let's go, and they left Michael behind. He
Speaker 1: had to get a commercial flight to get to Detroit,
Speaker 1: and when he got there he had to have his
Speaker 1: meeting with jim Me, and Jimmy punished them, you will
Speaker 1: not start or play the first possession of the game.
Speaker 1: And when Norv Turner heard that, he goes, so if
Speaker 1: we kick off, is that the first psssion the Lions
Speaker 1: end of the ball first, that's the first possession. No,
Speaker 1: we're punishing Michael. But it was probably something like that. Now,
Speaker 1: it was a home game, obviously not missing a flight,
Speaker 1: but it might have been shown up late on Saturday.
Speaker 1: It might have been whatever, whatever, but you got to
Speaker 1: do something to show, yes, we have rules right away.
Speaker 1: All the press box, the noise was, okay, they've made
Speaker 1: the change. Yeah, what had happened? Ye, Pollard's the guy.
Speaker 1: I don't even think it was questioned on the TV broadcast.
Speaker 1: They didn't even they didn't even dawn on them. It
Speaker 1: was unusual that Pollard is starting this game. And they
Speaker 1: barely I think they finally did, but they barely pointed
Speaker 1: out that, um, was it the second or third possi?
Speaker 1: And they brought Peters into left tackle right, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was it was left guard right, And then they did
Speaker 1: it one more possession in the second half, although left
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern in at left guard. All right, let's talk
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior. Maybe Odell will join us in the
Speaker 1: last segment here I shot open just a moment. We
Speaker 1: paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Can you pass me a Pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey,
Speaker 1: Oh oh, look at that. That's not the end, no way.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right?
Speaker 1: Five times? Not enough times for everyone who traded in
Speaker 1: rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi
Speaker 1: zero sugar. That's what I like. Nobody protects you from
Speaker 1: mayhem like all State. You hear that I'm a torrential downpour.
Speaker 1: Torrential What does that even mean? It means you can't
Speaker 1: see out of your windshield, and if you have the
Speaker 1: wrong car insurance, you might have to make it rain
Speaker 1: to fix your bumper. So switch to all State, save
Speaker 1: money and be better protected from mayhem like me. Based

Speaker 1: All right, Festive SIPs, Christmas Sip and Stroll at the
Speaker 1: Star District. Okay, and this is like all the time.
Speaker 1: Sounds like now, yep, anytime. Although they killed me because
Speaker 1: I was figuring SIPs meant good cold you know, when
Speaker 1: it's cold out, SIPs to warm up. And then they
Speaker 1: mentioned hot chocolate. Hot chocolate, okay, so I was thinking
Speaker 1: it might be wine. Now me too, So I was
Speaker 1: figuring that's what I was thinking sipping. And the reason
Speaker 1: I say it was your daughter's out my daughter's out
Speaker 1: because yesterday Sunday afternoon, Okay, I'm dead tired. Did Cowboys
Speaker 1: game day pregame show in the morning, and had worked
Speaker 1: late Saturday night and knew I was going to be
Speaker 1: working late with the Cowboys game. And you know, so
Speaker 1: my wife and daughters and their husbands they all went
Speaker 1: to downtown Grapevine for picking up their wine and they
Speaker 1: got yeah and so and with their kid, grandkids and everything.
Speaker 1: I had settled in to watch football on the couch.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say, I settled in for
Speaker 1: a long winters Yeah, well I did. I settled in
Speaker 1: for a long Winter's DApp watch of the early game.
Speaker 1: And my wife text being says, you know you could
Speaker 1: come down here and join us. I said, no, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm they got the Chiefs in the Bengals
Speaker 1: starting at three twenty five. I'm good. But your grandsons
Speaker 1: are here. I'm good, still good, Bring them here. They
Speaker 1: want to see their in daddy. They can come see
Speaker 1: me here. So anyway, all right, Odell Beckham Junior, is
Speaker 1: he in the house yet, Mickey? He should be, okay.
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones on the Fan just at an interview there
Speaker 1: thirteen minutes ago, says Odell's got a busy schedule today.
Speaker 1: Jerry and I look forward to our visit with him,
Speaker 1: confidence Meeter. It's like doing contracts. Nothing is ever done
Speaker 1: until it's done. We look forward to the next twenty
Speaker 1: four to thirty six hours. That's a tweet from John Machoda,
Speaker 1: and that's probably very accurate. Mike McCarthy said that he
Speaker 1: should have an opportunity to meet with Odell today. It's
Speaker 1: supposed to be a two day visit, and I would
Speaker 1: imagine a good portion of the day will be taken
Speaker 1: up with an extensive physical although I'm told that like
Speaker 1: when it comes to MRIs and things like that, if
Speaker 1: the first team does an MRI on it on him,
Speaker 1: they share it so they don't have to that's your
Speaker 1: MRI is going to be different, and you know, you
Speaker 1: save time. So that was so if he's already gone
Speaker 1: through that process with the Giants or the Bill might
Speaker 1: have shared it with the Cowboys. Yeah, and and and
Speaker 1: you know it's almost like the combine right where you
Speaker 1: share medical information. So what did you just see? That's funny?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I can't repeat what I just saw or
Speaker 1: what you just thought no, no, I just saw a
Speaker 1: tweet that I don't need to share. Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: I think in an ideal world, the Cowboys would love
Speaker 1: to work him out, But I bet he is not
Speaker 1: going to agree to that. That would be surprising, let's
Speaker 1: put it that way. But he will relent enough to
Speaker 1: check out the knee. Who had the doctors check out that.
Speaker 1: It was funny because Jerry was talking about it last
Speaker 1: night and he's said, somebody said, you know, they're gonna
Speaker 1: doctor is gonna take a look at that knee and
Speaker 1: they're gonna pay proud and stuff. Well, George Teague was
Speaker 1: on our pregame show yesterday and he went into great detail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna stretch that knee every which way
Speaker 1: those doctors. Let me tell you, he's gonna that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a Gerson workout. I was like, hey, Jerry washed
Speaker 1: our show this morn. Yeah, that's right. So um. And
Speaker 1: then you know it's it's basically showing him around and
Speaker 1: you know this is like college recruiting. Um. But again, uh,
Speaker 1: you know what the determination has to become is is
Speaker 1: he are you doing this for this year? Like? Is
Speaker 1: he capable of playing this year or is this for
Speaker 1: next year? And if it's for next year, then how
Speaker 1: much is he gonna want in guarantee his money? Okay,
Speaker 1: let's just look at it this way. Even if they
Speaker 1: reach an agreement today, when is the earliest that Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham's junior would play in a game for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: best case scenario Eagles. So maybe you got Houston this
Speaker 1: week at Jacksonville next week, and then Christmas Eve the
Speaker 1: Eagles game. That would be the earliest. I mean even
Speaker 1: even just three weeks. But but let's just look at
Speaker 1: when an injured player coming off at aclspet Michael Gallant, Okay,
Speaker 1: in the time frame, and now he's farther along in
Speaker 1: his rehab time wise than what Gallop was leading into
Speaker 1: training camp. But any player, even if they're not coming
Speaker 1: off an injury, Anthony Barr, all right, there's a lead
Speaker 1: up time, Okay, where Okay, he's here. Now, you give
Speaker 1: it a ramp up for a week, two weeks whatever,
Speaker 1: and then it's another week on top of that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if it's not until I mean,
Speaker 1: and then you got a short week from Philadelphia to Tennessee.
Speaker 1: It's where it might be Washington before yeah, and so,
Speaker 1: and you might be looking at just the playoffs now
Speaker 1: when he plays, how many snaps is he gonna get
Speaker 1: right off the bat? Ten twelve? And that's why when
Speaker 1: we look at, okay, what are they gonna do roster wise,
Speaker 1: who are they gonna let go at wide receiver or whatever?
Speaker 1: And you got James Washington who's ready to come back
Speaker 1: to well, we are it's not happening. Even if they
Speaker 1: signs today. He's not playing this week, he's not playing
Speaker 1: next week. And I agree with you probably the earliest
Speaker 1: would be Philadelphi. And that's kind of way earliest. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right, because I mean think about I know, the
Speaker 1: size is different Jason Peters, how long it took him
Speaker 1: to get it in there and get it a possession
Speaker 1: right a series, But it's not dissimilar in that he's
Speaker 1: coming off in a major surgery, right and seeing here's
Speaker 1: the other thing, they're not desperate. If you look at
Speaker 1: the way Ceedee Lamb in Michael Gallop are playing right now,
Speaker 1: you've got he's at best, the third guy at best, right,
Speaker 1: and then you got to work them in. So but
Speaker 1: but kind of like with cornerback. If he tests out, fine, Okay,
Speaker 1: it gives you a guy that if even if it's
Speaker 1: after the first of the year before he's ready to play,
Speaker 1: you've got some insurance there if you lost one of
Speaker 1: your top receivers. Right, But again, how much do you
Speaker 1: want to pay for that or how much does he
Speaker 1: want to provide you with that? And that's what it's
Speaker 1: going to come down to, because obviously I don't you
Speaker 1: know the giants and the bills that I bet they're
Speaker 1: making offers or already have we haven't heard, but you
Speaker 1: would think that after that they it's like, okay, we'll
Speaker 1: go take your rest of your you know, trips, and
Speaker 1: then we'll barter with you. So there's a lot to
Speaker 1: consider here other than them just saying yeah, we want you.
Speaker 1: And by the way, when you look at ahead to
Speaker 1: next year, Noah Brown is in a contract year, He's
Speaker 1: a free agent coming into next year. James Washington's on
Speaker 1: a one year deal also, right, And so when you
Speaker 1: look at their inventory of wide receivers on next year's roster,
Speaker 1: you got Ceedee Lamb, you got Michael Gallup, you got
Speaker 1: Jalen Tilbert, you gotta there is a spot where you
Speaker 1: can add a veteran wide racis. I wonder if you
Speaker 1: can sign a guy on Tuesday and put him on
Speaker 1: IR on Wednesday and that would get give you four weeks, right,
Speaker 1: I guess you could do that. Yeah, how does it
Speaker 1: work as far? Yeah? Yeah, because you're looking at it's
Speaker 1: the same principle as you put a guy on pup
Speaker 1: to start training camp. Yeah, so four it's four weeks
Speaker 1: on I sign him. He's not going on the fifty
Speaker 1: three man roster. I would not think so, No, he's
Speaker 1: going on I R to start. I mean you couldn't
Speaker 1: put him on or are you practice squad or did
Speaker 1: that qualify whichever? You know? All right, you legitimately have
Speaker 1: to have an injury, do you not he has an injury? Well,
Speaker 1: he has one he's coming off of he's not ready.
Speaker 1: You could say he's not ready to play, right right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he doesn't. I bet you can prove that doesn't pass
Speaker 1: a physical. I don't think you get pup the middle
Speaker 1: of the season. I'm saying that sounds like pop rather
Speaker 1: than I are. Yeah, but you but you got to
Speaker 1: do that before the seasons. Yeah, there's you don't have
Speaker 1: that available, all right? What is as we wrap up
Speaker 1: this show, what is the most significant thing that happened
Speaker 1: on Sunday? Most significant other than winning? Outside of the Cowboys, Oh,
Speaker 1: outside of the Cowboys that the Giants in Washington tied. No, no, okay,
Speaker 1: Jimmy broken jim eg because they're eight and four now
Speaker 1: and they've got Brock Purty at quarterback. Yeah. And did
Speaker 1: you see Baker Mayfield get released? But he asked for
Speaker 1: He asked for his release from Carolina, so he is available,
Speaker 1: and um, he's available. They picked up Josh Johnson, who's
Speaker 1: on his third tour of duty with the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers and about his fifteenth NFL team. He was on
Speaker 1: the Denver practice which I didn't realize you could do that.
Speaker 1: What's that Josh Johnson? Well, they picked him up the
Speaker 1: same day they picked up Josh Johnson. Think Denver practice squad.
Speaker 1: I think I think the reports came out last night.
Speaker 1: I think what happened is they immediately called him and
Speaker 1: said we're signing him. But and it got got reported that. Jeez.
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't know you could do that.
Speaker 1: You know. Jason Garrett told the story when he was
Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay last year of his playing career. He
Speaker 1: actually had been released by Tampa Bay and I may
Speaker 1: I'll get this mess up a little bit. But he
Speaker 1: was calling. He was like on the he was on
Speaker 1: the network broadcast team for Fox calling a Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: game that Chris Simms got injured in and uh and
Speaker 1: then he got a call during the game saying, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to resign you as he's broadcasted the game
Speaker 1: something like that. Right. So, but but now at this
Speaker 1: stage of the season, Mahomes has to go through waivers
Speaker 1: home I mean, boy, Texas, the Texas will be all
Speaker 1: over that. Okay, Mayfield my wrong. Now he's got to
Speaker 1: go through waivers. He does, so somebody could claim him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they could. They don't automatically get the sign up. Who's
Speaker 1: going to claim him? Well, I think they're claiming the
Speaker 1: contract too, But it's only for this year. I think
Speaker 1: first five games left one point three million for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season and it's guaranteed to the Seattle.
Speaker 1: Do you just blame him to keep him from going
Speaker 1: to San Francisco? Why not? Yeah, if you can afford it, yeah,
Speaker 1: one point cap yeah, and you just put him on
Speaker 1: the fifties. And by the way, Seattle needs insurance in
Speaker 1: case Gino Smith got hurt. Right, I'm sure so, so
Speaker 1: it's not a free thing that he just gets to
Speaker 1: San Francisco. But you're but you're right. But Mike, my
Speaker 1: thought was, I was sitting there watching the Giants in
Speaker 1: Washington and I'm going, Okay, which one would you rather
Speaker 1: have win? And then it occurred to me, I said,
Speaker 1: how about if they just stop and you pick up
Speaker 1: a half a game on each one of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. But but in the big picture of the playoffs,
Speaker 1: I mean, what San Francisco's got going on? And by
Speaker 1: the way, they won that game over a hot Miami
Speaker 1: team with Brock Purty playing the vast majority of that
Speaker 1: game at quarterback. I forgot he was the last pick
Speaker 1: in the draft. Yeah, mister irrelevant. Yeah, and so but
Speaker 1: in a grand scheme of things, and I'm looking you
Speaker 1: could look down this hallway or upstairs here, and you know, Jerry,
Speaker 1: what's going through Jerry's mind is, you know, San Francisco
Speaker 1: is not the same San Francisco they were at this
Speaker 1: time yesterday. You know, Well, that's that's true, and so
Speaker 1: there's even more motivation to stock up because you can
Speaker 1: make a run here. I mean legitimately, and we're out
Speaker 1: of time, but legitimately, if you look at the NFC,
Speaker 1: who are your Super Bowl contender? San Francisco was? It
Speaker 1: may still be because everybody was picked, but you have
Speaker 1: to think, you have to think you have to put
Speaker 1: them because of their quarterback situation behind three other teams, right,
Speaker 1: and that would be Philadelphia, Minnesota and Dallas and Dallas
Speaker 1: and then and then in the AFC you got Kansas City, Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: and Buffalo right right in that order. Or say I
Speaker 1: just beat Kansas City. They did. They beat them three
Speaker 1: times in a row. Now, so I'm thinking I put
Speaker 1: it in the order of right. They had home field advantage, right, huh? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So and by the way, a side note, Trell Basham
Speaker 1: signed with this Titans today. Yeah, Titans signed Basham. So
Speaker 1: if we can close on that note, unless you or
Speaker 1: I could say, after watching the Titans play, I was
Speaker 1: thinking that was the danger game. Not so much. I've
Speaker 1: never seen more wide open receivers in my life in
Speaker 1: a game. The Eagle receivers were just running by themselves.
Speaker 1: It's like you think you might cover Adams, maybe just
Speaker 1: get close to him. Guy's running wide open, DeVante Smith. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm having trouble. I'm having trouble with my names now,
Speaker 1: right because I said they were all trying to cover
Speaker 1: a J. Browny J Brown, Well they didn't. J Brown
Speaker 1: a touchdown passdown was the widest. PFF had him as
Speaker 1: the most widest open person. Uh, they weren't aware that
Speaker 1: he was now with the Eagles. I guess, well, I
Speaker 1: mean yards wide open. They have a safety. I know
Speaker 1: the corner fell down, right, but somebody's got to be
Speaker 1: back there somewhere. Or he took the over out. He did.
Speaker 1: He came down, took the over route and Brown was
Speaker 1: wide open. That was amazing. Okay, that does it for
Speaker 1: this edition of mix Shots. Is ever soon going to
Speaker 1: be back tomorrow or will he be a member of
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Find out? Yeah, the next edition of
Speaker 1: mix Shots tomorrow at noon, Oh Cowboys. This has been
Speaker 1: a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys Football Club.
