This is Mick Shot 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.400 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:26.120 Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:36.680 and Nicky Spagnola. And here it is Fabulous Friday, Fabulous 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.720 Football Friday Edition Mick Shots as we get you ready 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:45.000 for the big weekend. And oh, Mickey has looked so 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:50.320 often every year forward to going to our nation's capitol 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.880 to watch the Cowboys play the Washington football team. And Mickey, 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.920 you can't do it this year. You are staying home 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.280 this year instead. Yeah, just like most of the rest 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.440 of the media as well. That's one of the hardships 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.320 of this uh pandemic that we're in. Right now, there's 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.200 Everson Walls with a beautiful shot of Everson behind him 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.200 at his homestead as well. But Mickey, I know that 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.640 you miss your annual trip to Washington, DC, don't you. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.040 You know what, watching the game on television will be 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.640 a better view than watching from the press box at 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:33.080 FedEx Field. It's the absolute worst view in the National 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:38.920 Football League. We're not very high and we're basically in 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.400 the corner of the end zones. That's right, that's right. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.319 Once the ball gets past the forty yard line, you 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.320 can't you can't have no depth perception whatsoever. You can't 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:54.280 have no depth perception whatsoe. And you know what I 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.640 would do. I would do a triple negative if I 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:05.040 could have figured it out with with ak better. Uh, 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.600 at least you were at the fifty yard line, but 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:12.880 you were outdoors, so the press box was open air 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:18.600 and uh, um, let's try and there wasn't any room. 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.600 So I remember distinctly the nineteen eighty nine game when 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:28.480 the Cowboys won their game of the year. Yeah, good stuff. 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.840 What was it? What was it like thirteen thirteen to 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.720 three or something like that. It was thirteen to three 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:39.680 Steve Walls where they were, So we were so world champions. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.839 I believe they were world champions, Yes, but they were 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:48.480 struggling that year. Oh yeah, And and it was it 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.640 was a Sunday night game, so of course the only 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.840 game the Cowboys win. We were on deadline, but we 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.160 were so cramped in the in the press box. I 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.280 remember having to sit kind a side saddle like this 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.560 because Blackie Charade was next to me and we couldn't 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.360 put our shoulders across from each other. There was not 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:12.240 enough room, right, Oh it was. It was a great view, 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.519 but the worst press box. I love the AUFK Stadium 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.600 out of all of the away stadium's. Guy, I love 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.920 that road game itself. Just being in the nation's capitol 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.240 was always pretty cool feeling. And of course the rivalry. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.360 But yeah, of course the thing about the FK was 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.720 the the end zone UH stadium, the end zone seats. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.280 You know, whenever they get rocking at AK Stadium and 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.920 the Hogs were working and Riggins was going well, they 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.520 would they would make it sway. It was. It was 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.800 almost as if it wasn't. I don't know how they 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.640 did it, but the fans would. They would make the 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.520 end zones seats UH sway a little bit and it 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.320 almost had a little rocking effect to it. That's because 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.240 they were portable style, like they moved them in there 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.360 just for that, you know what. And and I know people, 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.880 it was the best nickname ever that Skip Bayless came 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:16.080 up with RFK Rickety Field for knuckleheads. Oh my god, 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.880 we're giving Skip Bayless credit on this show. It's very, very, 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:24.120 very appropriate and then okay, let me correct us right 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.159 off the top here, because the in eighty nine, the 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:32.960 Washington football team was not the defending super Bowl champions. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.520 They were coming off a seven and nine season. They 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.400 won the super Bowl in the eighties seven season. Oh 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.280 they won the strike season. Yeah, that's right, So that 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:47.120 doesn't really count, does it? Oh? One victory though, like 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.040 the NBA bubble, right, we're gonna put an asterick on that. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.880 Is that what we're doing? Yell? Well, here on pro 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.800 football records it has an asterisk right by it there. 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.840 And then of course they won the super Bowl in 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.400 ninety one. And of course, Everson. I don't know if 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.560 you realize this or not, but Mickey wrote a book 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.760 at one point on the rivalry between Dallas and Washington. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.440 We did it. We did it in uh nineteen ninety seven, right, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.120 and it was the first time in like forever that 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:23.560 neither team qualified for the playoffs. It's like, what do 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.840 you think that game? From book sales and ever said 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.839 that was the kiss of death for the rivalry. Mickey 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.320 writing a book about it, because how many times has 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:41.080 neither team made the playoffs in the last twas well? 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:45.080 Washington probably what do you think Washington's made it maybe twice. Well, 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.840 I can tell you exactly how many times they made it. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.080 In ninety nine they lost in the division round. They 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.880 made it in two thousand and five, lost in the 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:59.960 division round, lost wildcard. In O seven and twenty twelve, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.880 all they lost a wild card because they beat the 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.359 Cowboys in the final game of the season. Twenty fifteen 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:11.359 lost a wild card game. So so you're telling me 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:16.119 they haven't won a playoff game since OH five. Wow, 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.480 let me check the O five season to see if 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.559 they got a first round by They were ten and six, 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:25.800 so they probably didn't hadn't play a wild card game. Yes, 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.080 they won a wild card game over Tampa Bay, but 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.719 that doesn't count. It was Tampa No, Tampa Bay was good. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.680 We've got our own discerning asterisks over here on this show. Yeah, 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.080 that's right, that's right. So that OH five was the 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.760 last time that Washington won a playoff game, and prior 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.640 to that in ninety nine, they did finish first in 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.800 the division. In ninety nine, let's see if they want 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.680 a playoff game. Yes, they beat Detroit. Well that didn't 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:58.240 count either, So you think so you figure the last 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:06.279 time both teams went to the playoffs? Was ninety nine. Well, 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:11.240 let's think about the okayh fifteen Cowboys did not. Twelve 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:16.560 Cowboys did not. Seven Cowboys did right seven They both 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.040 made the playoffs and but Cowboys didn't win a playoff game. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:29.560 Neither did Washington OH five. No for the Cowboys, um, 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.520 and they won a wild card. Washington did an OH 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:38.800 five in ninety nine. Then, yeah, ninety nine, and prior 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.120 to that for Washington it was ninety two. Was the 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.840 last time they made the playoffs. It's not a really 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:49.320 uh storied tradition since nineteen ninety two, since they last 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.800 won a Super Bowl in ninety one, since I left 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.040 the Cowboys. That's what it is. I am the common 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.160 denominator there, guys. That's all right. Of course, they're doing 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.360 a talk show in Washington right now saying it hasn't 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.840 been a story tradition for the Cowboys as they last 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.040 went to the Super Bowl either. I was. I was 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.200 on with one of the radio guys this morning from Washington, DC, 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.840 and he was like, they played all this and I 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.200 didn't realize what they were doing, but they were playing 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:21.280 old cuts from guys talking about the rivalry, and I 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.400 was like, what are they talking about? This thing's dead, 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.000 no one even knows it. And then when it was 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.040 it was from like twenty years ago. But the guy 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.839 was the host. Kevin was saying that he asked the 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:39.000 Kyle Allen about the rivalry and he got this stare, like, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.720 what are you talking about? There was a rivalry between 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.000 the Redskins and the Cowboys. Well, think about it, Kyle Allen, 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:52.079 Kyle Allen was born He's twenty four years old, okay, 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.520 and so so he was born in ninety six, Yeah, 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.800 after the Cowboys last went to a super Bowl. That 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:59.520 was when he was right around the time the book 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:04.360 was written. And so yeah, yeah, yeah, so there once again, 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:09.000 what was the name of that book, bears who? That's 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.599 the name of risk is Cowboys. I've got here, is 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.960 gonna put it, let me go grab it. I got 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:21.880 it back here. He's got it on his bookshelf. Yeah, absolutely, Well, yeah, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:28.600 they all didn't sell and he's gonna write it full 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:34.840 of them. Yeah. Yeah, Now there's about seven so if 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:41.600 you want one outside, oh yes, thanks, Well, Micky, let's 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.480 get up to speed on the news going on at 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:48.000 the Star in Fresco, and the biggest news I guess 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.160 coming out of Mike McCarthy's press conference and Jerry Jones 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.480 talking on the radio this morning is that it looks 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.400 like the Cowboys are going to be missing another Pro 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.800 Bowl starter on the offensive line, as Zack Martin not 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.680 at a concussion protocol doesn't look like Yeah, that was 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.200 pretty predictable, I think when he didn't practice the previous 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.719 two days, and you know it takes a couple of 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.920 days to pass all the protocols you have to do 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.880 to come out of that. Uh. So yeah, the Connor 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.720 McGovern most likely, it sounded like almost one hundred percent 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.280 that he's your starting guard. Uh. They still didn't come 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.840 clean on the on the left tackle position. Uh. The 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:35.319 way Connor Williams talked yesterday, it sounded like cam Irving 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.440 was practicing there. Uh And Mike McCarthy didn't want to 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:45.600 say so it's either him or Greg Sinnott at left tackle. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.920 So uh, here here's what happened last night. I don't 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.959 know if you guys watched the Thursday night football game 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.240 the Giants and the Eagles. Uh, I swear Joe Buck 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.319 must have said at least three times that the boy 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.360 the poor Eagles, their offensive line is so beat up 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.600 that this is the sixth time they're starting a different combination. Well, 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.079 how about this, if if we get past the one 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:14.559 snap Joe Looney played against Cleveland when Tyler Biadas had 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.240 to take over one snap into the game, this is 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.520 the sixth time the Cowboys will have a different combination 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.520 on their starting offensive line. So I want to whoever's 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.440 doing the game on Sunday needs to make a big 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.120 point of that. Well, not only that, the difference between 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.200 the Cowboys and the and the Eagles even more of 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.240 a difference is they still have their quarterback. We don't, 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.720 so right you want to start throwing and the other 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.120 and the other difference is the Cowboys were losing Pro 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.680 Bowl players. I don't think the Eagles were. But now 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.320 they still have they still have their center, they have 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:54.680 they still have him playing. Well that's about it. Well 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.760 that that's not gonna bode well for Don Terry Poe. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:02.920 Then nothing has voted well off of Don Terry Pole 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.720 throughout the entire season. So let's it's okay part of 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.800 the course right now. So Mickey, how much patience student 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.760 you think they have for the Don Terry Poe. Well, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.040 all I know is Mike Nolan in his conference called 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:24.160 this Morning, he was asked about the sixty nine yard 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:29.600 touchdown run, the reference being did your defense give up? Right? 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.360 And he goes, I'm not sure how that happened because 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.560 we had more guys in the middle of the thing. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.400 He goes, have you looked at him? So as he 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.559 was talking, I went and looked at it. The guys 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:48.160 the Cowboys had nine guys in the box, nine and 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.800 he ran right through them, and it's like, how did 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.120 it happen? Well, let me tell you how it happened. 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.840 Don Terry Poe got walked right out of the middle 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.679 of the field and left his big app about as 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:05.720 big as he is right in the middle. The offensive 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.400 guards on the other side, they went two tight ends 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.320 were able to come off and pick off the linebackers, 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.440 and both safeties picked the wrong gap, both of them, 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.480 and there was nobody there. And it wasn't like they 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.720 gave up, they just got blocked. And so again when 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.440 we talk about this defense, it's just the mistakes they're 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.720 making that had nothing to do with the scheme. They 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.680 had nothing to do with coaching. Right, Just do what 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.400 you're supposed to do. Don't get washed out of the play. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.480 That's what I was talking about yesterday. I keep getting 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.720 the guy. Is it Donovan Wilson? Is that name? Yes, 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.800 Donovan Wilson came. He could have been the one to 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:53.160 hold that and ate yard at the most and eight 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:57.440 yard carried, and for some reason, he runs up and 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.880 tries to fit his head into a crease that did 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:05.760 not exist. To his left three of his own tea. Yes, 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:11.480 to his left was the hole itself, and it was 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.600 huge if all he had to do was keep his 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.599 eyes open and be patient waiting for the back to 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.720 pick the hole. That's what we talked about yesterday. The 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.640 safety has to pick the hole, just like the running 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.560 back has to pick the hole so that he can 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.400 meet him in the hole. That did not happen. The 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:35.200 guy would have ran right to him, right into him. 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.800 What can you say, so, Mickey, let me ask yes, 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:45.160 all right, So what are the Cowboys with all the 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:49.840 injuries the Cowboys have had on offense, not as many undefense, 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.160 but they've had some undefense as well. But they got 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:56.400 bander esh back. Now, how much does the next does 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:01.520 this game and the next game against Philadelphia determ the 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:07.000 immediate expectations and future of this organization leading up to 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:12.600 the trade deadline and trying to determine in a weak division. Okay, 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.920 do they try to go get a veteran guy, like 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.680 maybe a veteran safety to try to shore up that 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.320 position or do they continue with what they have at 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.760 that position? And I'm not talking Earl Thomas there. I'm 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.520 talking about a reasonable guy that can fit on, a 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:33.320 veteran guy who you can depend on to play run defense. Well, 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.000 if I was going to do that, then it would 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:41.480 be a defensive tackle. I think that's where they need 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.560 to shore things up. Yeah, I'm just saying any position 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:49.720 are they are they trying to determine? All right, we're 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.280 in a We're in no man's land, right, I know. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.320 And Jerry answered the question today because he was asked 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.520 on his radio segment, are you adding or are you 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.480 subtract acting? And he says, oh, no, we would add. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.280 So the reference was we're not selling off. This isn't 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.840 baseball like getting rid of guys to try to pick 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.280 up extra draft choices. But he said, but he goes, 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.360 it has to be something that obviously makes sense and 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.040 not give up a bunch of draft choices. So it's like, 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.520 I think the name the other day came up, Quinton Williams. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.280 The Jets seem to be selling everybody off. He's got 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.600 some off the field problems too. I don't know if 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.840 you want to mess with that guy. And supposedly the 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.600 Jets want a second for him, and I was thinking, well, 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.760 good luck with all that, right, So yeah, I think 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.760 if something was right, I just don't see them making 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.280 like a desperation move for one guy because they're not 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:52.840 just one. And as we talked about, and as we 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.720 talked about yesterday, if anybody's got a credible offensive lineman, 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:01.960 they're not unloading the guy because they'll need a backup, right. 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.400 We talked about the offensive line yesterday, how they're gonna 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.080 line up. What happens if one of those guys get hurt? 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.560 What are you coming in with? Like they got to 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.240 bring Marcus Henry off the practice squad to be a 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:21.560 backup center if Cam Irving actually plays for the since 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.320 the first game when he got rumbled up on he 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.440 had had an offensive snap by the way, he got 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:32.120 hurt special teams, then greg snots the next tackle, I'm 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.040 not sure who the next guard is tell you the truth, 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.280 I'd have to grab my my depth chart to see 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.879 who's the backup guard. Bill's on it. Don't worry about it. 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.560 Come on, Bill, spit it out a baby. We're up 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.280 against a break. I'll give I'll give Macky a chance. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:50.280 I'll give make you a chance to find it. We're 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.520 up against a break. But anyway, I do think it 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.159 is interesting, and it kind of not only from the 0:17:56.240 --> 0:18:00.520 standpoint of competing for a division and a playoff spot. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.159 The next two games are critical along those lines, but 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.879 also I think just figuring out, all right, is this 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.920 just a rebuild or is there something tangible to be had? 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.359 If they win the next two, obviously there's something tangible 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.760 to be had here. If they lose the next two, 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:21.080 then you're two and six and you know, there you go. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.640 That's right, all right, we find the way. I've got 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.399 the answer. Okay, you'll give it to us after this break. 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:35.840 You gotta tuned knowing coming up here on mixed shots.

It's 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:03.640 not easy to say this is first time of the week. 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:08.400 I read it like it's like it's spelled out there 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:15.320 Shop dot Dallas Cowboys dot com. Okay, there there, it is, 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.680 all right, Mickey. Yeah. The answer to our trivia question 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.640 that was posed required to the break, and that trivia 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:27.639 question is who is the backup offensive guard on this team? 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:30.159 Is that what the question was? It was and on 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:35.000 the depth chart for this week before they knew anything, 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:39.560 it was Connor McGovern. But he he's a star start. 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:46.479 So my guess is, uh, Henry Marcus. Henry is going 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:49.719 to be the swing guy, the backup center and guard. 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:56.360 About a practice squad possibility, not one guard is listed 0:21:56.359 --> 0:22:00.480 on the practice squad. Did they get rid of Adam Redmond? No, 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.719 but I don't know if he's eligible yet because they 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.159 signed him. They signed him to the practice squad, but 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:09.680 I don't know if he made it through the six 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:13.880 day protocol. Now I got it. When I listed him 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.240 as being signed to the practice squad, I put down 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:20.280 October twelfth, so next to it, which would mean he 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:24.800 is he's gone, So maybe he's maybe he's eligible now, yeah, 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.600 so they could bring him up because actually he's done 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:31.919 both and and Marcus Henry actually in training camp played 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:36.120 guard center too, So we'll see which I forgot about 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.919 him because they don't. I didn't see him listed on 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:42.719 the on the depth chart that I had here. And 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:44.960 then the other thing that they did this week is 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:48.359 they protected Jordan Mills on the practice on the practice squad, 0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:52.880 So a team, right, come pick him off their practice squad. 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:55.879 So and and if you're not unfamiliar with the rules 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.480 on that, the teams can protect four practice squad guys 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:02.600 each week. Changes from week to week. They can protect 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:06.960 poor guys. So yeah, I know I glossed over Redman's 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.240 name because they had him listed as a center. But 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:13.200 he can do both, okay, So and he's got more 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.920 experienced than Marcus Henry, does I think? Also, Yeah, yeah, 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.240 no doubt. Here's the other thing that I was thinking 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.879 about before the show today. All right, if you would, 0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:29.119 let's say, when they made the coaching change and Jason 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:32.800 Garrett's let go, Mike McCarthy hired, if you would have 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:37.000 told him that you're going into the seventh week of 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:40.959 the season against Washington and you are not going to 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:47.720 have Tyrn Smith, Travis Frederick, Zach Martin Lyle Collins, Blake 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.679 Jarwin or Dak Prescott on your offense, what do you 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.680 think the change football game? I don't care whether you're 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:58.040 playing in Washington or anybody. I think if you would 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:01.200 have told Mike Mike McCarthy that before he took the job, 0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:04.840 he would have say that I passed. That's one of 0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:06.800 those things. You know what I used to joke with. 0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:10.440 I used to joke with Jason Garrett when when things 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.760 like this would happen and I would look at them 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:18.240 and we would do our our Friday pregame radio interview. 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:21.359 We would tape it and I look at him and go, 0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:27.520 so you wanted to be a head coach? So what 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:31.560 I wonder McCarthy's probably thinking, did I really want to 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.479 come back and do this? I still have to wonder 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.840 how many Jason Garrett fans out there are still out 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:47.520 there as cowboy fans, and if they're calling for McCarthy's head, 0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:50.840 you know what I mean, the way those uh, the 0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:52.840 way those fans back in the day we'll call him 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:57.080 for Jason Garrett's head. It's just amazing to see that 0:24:57.240 --> 0:25:00.159 we're having the same problems regardless of who is the 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:04.600 head coach. Early on in the season, Man, I was 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.800 giving Will McClay so much love, which I still do. 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:13.760 It seems like all the moves have been made, even 0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:18.000 with the injuries that we've had. I'm still kind of 0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:23.680 surprised at the ineptness of the relationship between the coaches 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:27.919 and the players. That is something from Mike McCarthy's standpoint, 0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.960 I didn't think we'd ever have. Of course, he had 0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:36.240 issues with Brett Farve. I'm sorry. With Aaron Rodgers, that's 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:39.359 a given. That's a given. He's he's you know, he's 0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:43.160 he's Aaron Rodgers. But I thought that here that would 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:47.359 be more of a I don't know, how can I 0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:52.960 say professional? Yeah, well, I wasn't gonna say that. I 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:55.880
