Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. And the first flag is thrown on
Speaker 1: this playoff weekend. Mickey Spagnola, I'm in the SWBC podcast studio.
Speaker 1: You're in the SWBC satellite center. And Mickey, what day
Speaker 1: is this? It is Fight Friday. It's Fight Song Friday.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Hey, we've had a false start already because
Speaker 1: it's there you go, There, you go. I gotta go
Speaker 1: back more than fifty years ago to the start of
Speaker 1: this Cowboys Niners playoff rivalry. Take it all the way
Speaker 1: back to nineteen seventy when the Cowboys started a three
Speaker 1: year playoff run over the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: And this was the fight Song, stampeding all the way
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl two of those years, in stampeding
Speaker 1: to a Hall of Fame career for Roger Staubach as well.
Speaker 1: How do you like that for an intro? Mickey? That
Speaker 1: was awfully well for not having planned it. Out. We
Speaker 1: had not planned it out. No, we had not, and
Speaker 1: so but I had planned on this show. We got
Speaker 1: so much to get to because we're previewing the three
Speaker 1: thirty kickoff and I cannot wait for this matchup the
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the forty nine ers. So we're doing that,
Speaker 1: and we need to go back and give a history
Speaker 1: lesson on the rivalry going back over a half century
Speaker 1: and how it launched the careers of some And for
Speaker 1: some reason, Everson is not here to discuss part of
Speaker 1: that playoff rivalry. I think he's trying to find a
Speaker 1: parking place outside. He should be here shortly, I think.
Speaker 1: But we also need to get up to speed on
Speaker 1: just exactly who's going to be taking the football field
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Of course, this is
Speaker 1: a virtual Friday as far as the media is concerned.
Speaker 1: His course, it's been a virtual virtual week for weeks
Speaker 1: here leading up to it. But for the team as
Speaker 1: well as far as any knowledge of any injury reports
Speaker 1: concerning the team going into the weekend, it's pretty much
Speaker 1: the status quo from what we've got yesterday. Who's going
Speaker 1: to be on the report today, don't you think, Mickey yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I think that the one person that
Speaker 1: did not participate in practice for the Cowboys that we
Speaker 1: would know Kean O'Neill. Uh. Mike McCarthy said today that
Speaker 1: while he was yesterday, he did not practice, and since
Speaker 1: they don't practice today, he basically pointed out that he
Speaker 1: would be a last minute decision on Saturday. He's got
Speaker 1: the deal going with his chest in his elbow and
Speaker 1: so there, Mike said, they would take it right to
Speaker 1: the last limit before they make that decision. So but
Speaker 1: other than that, it's everybody else was a full go
Speaker 1: except for limited by Israel Mcamu, and it looks like
Speaker 1: that he may end up going on injured reserve to
Speaker 1: make room when they bring uh jay Ron curse off COVID.
Speaker 1: So so from a Cowboys standpoint, Bill, this is about
Speaker 1: as healthy they've been, yep. And uh in the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers, they sound like they're as healthy as they
Speaker 1: have been. And look who has arrived here in the
Speaker 1: s WBC podcast studio. You know Everson. If you were
Speaker 1: to go back some thirty years or so, and it
Speaker 1: was two days before the Giants were playing the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers, what would Bill Parcels reaction be
Speaker 1: if you walked into a meeting. When you walk into
Speaker 1: this preetio, hey be time forget Bill Parcells land. Bill
Speaker 1: would be cool. You know Bill so Parcels would have
Speaker 1: wouldn't have any problem with it. He would he would
Speaker 1: cursey out and then we move on. Tim would hold
Speaker 1: the grudge. Man. No, I know why you're late coming
Speaker 1: in here. Why am I late? Because I got the
Speaker 1: last parking myself. Let me go. No, I was waiting
Speaker 1: on somebody to move lest when they moved, I parked
Speaker 1: right next to Bill. I knew. I looked around. I
Speaker 1: looked around. I said, every since not a here. And
Speaker 1: I told him when I walked in here, I said,
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be late. The first first the person I
Speaker 1: look for you, I take Barry Churches last spot. I
Speaker 1: think he took Barry's last spot this time Barry Church.
Speaker 1: He comes in from the from the previous podcasts, and
Speaker 1: you know, I wait on him to come out. He's
Speaker 1: always looking nice and spiffy and young. So I try
Speaker 1: to dress young with him. So that means I gotta
Speaker 1: go deep into my closet. See these podcasts work out perfect.
Speaker 1: They're forty five minutes in length, and it's one hour team,
Speaker 1: it's to park in one hour. It's a one hour limit.
Speaker 1: One of these days we're gonna walk outside and our
Speaker 1: vehicles are gonna be told as we went over an hour.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you didn't go in the handicap spot, because last
Speaker 1: night I saw the lady writing down somebody's lights night
Speaker 1: they were in there. Michael Irvin, Michael Irving. You know what,
Speaker 1: how long how long have the cowboys been here at
Speaker 1: the Star? Uh? I can't remember what year it was,
Speaker 1: and however long it's been that that satellite marketing team
Speaker 1: out there where you gotta walk up the hill, and
Speaker 1: I used to park there, and then I saw Everson
Speaker 1: Parker right up at the front door. I said, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna start parking on my front door
Speaker 1: d the first time, like nobody stopping me. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna park. Yeah. So I out of my car and
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, And so I just followed Everson's lead. All right,
Speaker 1: got lots to get to here, and um, as I
Speaker 1: said off the top, Everson, we're gonna dive into this matchup,
Speaker 1: but we're also gonna take a trip down memory lane
Speaker 1: and the significance of this Cowboys forty nine er playoffs
Speaker 1: series through the years, and I no one to dwell
Speaker 1: on forty years ago. I want to dwell on fifty
Speaker 1: years ago and thirty years ago, just so you know,
Speaker 1: unless you like I just doctor, do you want to dog?
Speaker 1: On San Francisco interview, Man, we had fun though. They said,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about Roger Craig's fumble. I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about Matt Barr's field goal because
Speaker 1: they were just they were born in eighty two. The guys,
Speaker 1: I was talking, that's why we need to talk about it,
Speaker 1: because people don't aren't familiar with it. Why and so
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about all of that. So
Speaker 1: I like their introduction. They gave me love before they
Speaker 1: tore me down it. We actually had a lot of
Speaker 1: fun on the interview. The guys were they were great guys,
Speaker 1: and uh no, it was all good. It was all good.
Speaker 1: So I've been talking about it. They woke me up
Speaker 1: with that. They woke me up with it, and we
Speaker 1: had a really nice, fun conversation about it, about my
Speaker 1: relationship with the White Clark before he passed on, and
Speaker 1: I think That's the main thing. Much as we can
Speaker 1: talk about the play all we want, you know this,
Speaker 1: this young man has uh, he's gone now. And with
Speaker 1: the als thing that that's going around, we know that
Speaker 1: it's connected to CTE. And you know, you look at
Speaker 1: somebody like the white Clark, you wouldn't think that he
Speaker 1: would necessarily suffer from something like that because he was
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and yes they do get hit, but
Speaker 1: you think more of linebackers, lineman, fullbacks, running backs, people
Speaker 1: like that. And uh, the shape that he was in
Speaker 1: before he passed on, it was it was quick and
Speaker 1: it was it was it was powerful, it was it
Speaker 1: was quick, it came on fast. So as much as
Speaker 1: we love to talk about not just to play, but
Speaker 1: the rivalry, what stems from that is a young man
Speaker 1: is gone, uh you know and and really just gone
Speaker 1: too soon. You know. Um. In your relationship with him,
Speaker 1: I know you were out there when it was a
Speaker 1: cowboy game where they honored Dwight Clark and you you
Speaker 1: went out and righted by his family. Okay, yes, So
Speaker 1: when after long after the catch, okay, when did you
Speaker 1: establish a relationship with him? Well, first moment was when
Speaker 1: he told me about how much money he got paid
Speaker 1: for the code that commercial We're going way Back. They
Speaker 1: had a barber strissand was singing the way we were
Speaker 1: and the catch play was in slow motion and when
Speaker 1: they look at an amazing commercial, like, man, this is
Speaker 1: a very cool commercial, it's too bad on the bad
Speaker 1: end of this. So he comes up to me and
Speaker 1: Charelle at the time was my girlfriend. My mom was
Speaker 1: with me, and we went to an event where we
Speaker 1: all were league leaders in our categories, receptions for him,
Speaker 1: interceptions for me. And he comes up to me. He
Speaker 1: had been He was librated. Is that a good word?
Speaker 1: He was librated, a little libraated, I guess is the word,
Speaker 1: and comes up to me and tells me all about
Speaker 1: how much he got paid. And that was the first
Speaker 1: part of our relationship, because I went on to go
Speaker 1: ahead and get my attorney and got paid. And that
Speaker 1: particular super Bowl that was part of mine package for
Speaker 1: suing Kodak was to watch Doug Williams win his Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: All right, So just think about the connection there. If
Speaker 1: it's not for the white Claude, I'm not sitting there
Speaker 1: watching Doug Williams just break a cultural record of the
Speaker 1: first black quarterback to win the Super Bowl. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Yeah, very cool. All right, Mickey, what
Speaker 1: do we need to know to kick things off here
Speaker 1: about this game? What's top of mind for you? Well,
Speaker 1: it looks like from San Francisco standpoint that Trent Williams
Speaker 1: went from did not practice to limited and redware. He
Speaker 1: said he'll will be ready to go. So that's huge
Speaker 1: for San Francisco to get their starting left tackle back
Speaker 1: on the field, specially knowing that he's going to have
Speaker 1: to go up against the Cowboys pass rushers. You know,
Speaker 1: they had a couple other guys were limited. Elijah Mitchell,
Speaker 1: the running back, went from did not practice to limited,
Speaker 1: so it looks like he's moving in the right direction
Speaker 1: to be able to play in the game. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks like both teams going to be somewhat healthy.
Speaker 1: Even Garoppolo went from limited to full even though he
Speaker 1: still has the sprain ligament in his thumb. So from
Speaker 1: an injury standpoint, that's where we're at. And then today
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had three players named to the first team
Speaker 1: All Pro Team. By the way, that's right, no surprise.
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, Trayvon Diggs and Zach Martin. You mean Trayvon
Speaker 1: the guy with that's giving up all these plays and
Speaker 1: all these yards. And you know who doesn't deserve to
Speaker 1: be getting the praise of these getting that Treyvon Diggs's
Speaker 1: amazing how he made it in it's a miracle, that's right.
Speaker 1: And on the forty nine ers side, Trent Williams first teams,
Speaker 1: first time in his career, first team All Pro at
Speaker 1: left tackle, and uh, it's a let's say, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say, if there's any other forty nine ers on
Speaker 1: the list here, I would debo Yeah, yeah, yes, Tebo, Deebo,
Speaker 1: Samuel and Trent Williams on offense. What I'm really surprised,
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Bosa, you look at what you now.
Speaker 1: Dak is the comeback player of the year. There's absolutely
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Dak is the comeback player of
Speaker 1: the year. But the candidacy that Nick Bosa has put
Speaker 1: up this year coming back from his torn aco last year.
Speaker 1: He just played in two games last year for San
Speaker 1: Francisco and he's got fifteen and a half sacks and
Speaker 1: twenty one tackles for lost, thirty two quarterback hits. I mean,
Speaker 1: and he didn't make first team All Pro. The edge
Speaker 1: rushers are t J. Watt and Miles Garrett. I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty good competition really, you know for
Speaker 1: edge rusher, uh micah h. Here's your defense. T J. Watton,
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. The edge rushers interior defensive tackles are Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald and Cam Heyward. Linebackers Michael Parsons, Darius Leonard, Devandre Campbell,
Speaker 1: corners Trayvon Diggs, Jalen Ramsey, and safety's ke Kevin Bayard
Speaker 1: and Jordan Poyer. They need to switch that because in
Speaker 1: this day and age, people aren't running a four three.
Speaker 1: I mean there's not three linebackers on the field, traditional
Speaker 1: linebackers on the field ever in a game. They need
Speaker 1: to switch this to where they need. Yeah, it needs
Speaker 1: to be a four two five or the edge rushers.
Speaker 1: You take into account at three to four edge rusher
Speaker 1: or a four three and you've got two traditional linebackers
Speaker 1: and you've got an extra cornerback on the field. That's
Speaker 1: what the way they do it on offense because the
Speaker 1: offense you go one quarterback, you got one running back,
Speaker 1: he got three fun They've been doing that forever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've been. They haven't changed it, not once. And then
Speaker 1: they haven't changed it on defense. And you know you
Speaker 1: got to get out of the three linebacker set, yes,
Speaker 1: and they and they've and they've done that with the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl right that's right side linebackers and and and
Speaker 1: edwards rushers. So the Pro Bowls kind of got it
Speaker 1: right right offense, Aaron Rodgers, here's your quarterback, Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: running back. The receivers or Cooper Cup, DeVante Adams, and
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel tied in is Mark Andrews over Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, whide receiver Jefferson didn't make it from Minnesota. No,
Speaker 1: and Chase either. Wow? Yeah, so they were next in line.
Speaker 1: Jefferson were four and five on the list in the voting,
Speaker 1: so Cup, Adams, and Samuel were the top three vote
Speaker 1: getters and then Jefferson and Chase were after that. You
Speaker 1: and I love Debo, but I think I would have
Speaker 1: it's because Travis Keils he's such a hybrid. I would
Speaker 1: kind of dismiss him in that regard only, and I
Speaker 1: would have had to put Jefferson in over Coop. I know,
Speaker 1: not debot who over Debo? I mean, look at the numbers, man.
Speaker 1: I mean, Debo's got numbers as far as a hybrid
Speaker 1: is concerned, because he carries the ball and he does
Speaker 1: so many different things. As far as being voted into
Speaker 1: a particular position, that's always been something of a negative
Speaker 1: because you do more than one thing. But Jefferson was, man,
Speaker 1: this guy was going off all year long. He didn't
Speaker 1: just wait until the end of the season. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say just waiting the end the season like Chase did.
Speaker 1: Chase got off all season. But Jefferson was on everyone
Speaker 1: beside He and Cooper Cup. They were the guys that
Speaker 1: everyone was talking about as far as receivers a cup
Speaker 1: all right, Jefferson, Okay, Jefferson, he has on the season
Speaker 1: eighty eight catches, fourteen hundred yards and seven touchdowns. Okay,
Speaker 1: And what did you do? Debo's got that right exactly.
Speaker 1: Debo has all right. He had eighty eight catches, fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred yards, seven touchdowns. Debo's got seventy seven catches fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred five yards and six touchdowns receiving running the football
Speaker 1: fifty nine carries three hundred and sixty five yards and
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns running, So he's got fourteen touchdowns total, and
Speaker 1: Jefferson's not as a receiver, well, but yes he does.
Speaker 1: He set the record for most rushing touchdowns buyer receiver.
Speaker 1: He's your slot okay, so they kept up with the
Speaker 1: modern age and he's your slot receiver. Okay, So you
Speaker 1: got him out in number. But if you're just looking
Speaker 1: at stats anyway, all right, Uh, I'm probably that young
Speaker 1: man though he did great. And by the way, the
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and besides besides Trent Williams is Joel Botonio
Speaker 1: at left guard, Jason Kelsey at center, Zach Martin at
Speaker 1: right guard, in Tristan Warps at right tackle, go ahead,
Speaker 1: and mackey and by the way, by the way, they
Speaker 1: also came out with the six finalists for the PEPSI
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year award, and Micah Parsons is one
Speaker 1: of the six guys. Uh, that's going to be in
Speaker 1: the finals and it'll be revealed, I guess during that
Speaker 1: Super Bowl week. And that's not defensive Rookie of the Year,
Speaker 1: that is overall offense and defense. It's overall NFL Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year. So that is interesting. Everson. If you
Speaker 1: want to look at you know, we've you know Mike
Speaker 1: has been a shoe in for Defensive Rookie of the Year,
Speaker 1: but let's throw Jamar Chase into that discussion. That's tough.
Speaker 1: Any who else is on that list? Who? Who are
Speaker 1: the other ones? Yeah, I was gonna say Mica is
Speaker 1: the only defensive player on that list. By the way,
Speaker 1: and these are voted by the fans, right, it's online. No,
Speaker 1: he's got the finalists. The finalists are Jamaar Chase, Nag Harris,
Speaker 1: mac Jones, Kyle Pitts, and Jalen Waddle. That is a
Speaker 1: great squad, right, there was great names, great names right there.
Speaker 1: That's impressive. You know we talked about the Comeback Player
Speaker 1: of the Year award. Yeah, they're trying to give Dak
Speaker 1: a little pushback on this. Everybody's looking at Burrows. They think,
Speaker 1: you know, his comeback this year was pretty good, especially
Speaker 1: the way he went out last year. I mean it
Speaker 1: wasn't an unusual injury, but an injury nonetheless season ending.
Speaker 1: Uh acl. I think he got a cl and him
Speaker 1: cl didn't he on his injury, Burrows did. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was both of them. So they're trying to make a
Speaker 1: case for him big time. A matter of fact, there
Speaker 1: have been some publications where, well maybe one publication, I
Speaker 1: don't know how legitimate it is, they've already chosen Burrows
Speaker 1: over Dak The definitely shouldn't comeback player of the year.
Speaker 1: You have to come back from you're coming back from
Speaker 1: an injury, but but you're also coming coming back from
Speaker 1: already being established in your career. That's the way I
Speaker 1: look at it. Interesting that could already been established in
Speaker 1: his career and had that injury and then comes back
Speaker 1: from it and Brows equals it was his rookie season.
Speaker 1: He hadn't really established him say how he was the
Speaker 1: top overall pick, but he hadn't established himself to the
Speaker 1: level that that had in the NFL. So that that
Speaker 1: would be my case for I'm with you, I know
Speaker 1: you are. The other case was, uh, he's been hit
Speaker 1: more than any quarterback this year, and considering the injury
Speaker 1: that he was coming back from the courage that he
Speaker 1: showed and would not take anything away from him. But
Speaker 1: this is this is the this is these are the
Speaker 1: bricks that up stacking up on his side. Ye, So
Speaker 1: just just fy, that's good, that's good to know that.
Speaker 1: It's good to know. All right, Micky, what else do
Speaker 1: we need to know? Um so, oh, I know what
Speaker 1: the one I was looking for. U Amari Cooper got
Speaker 1: fined for his COVID nineteen violation fourteen thousand, six hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars unvaccinated it I think it finally just
Speaker 1: came out. YEA an unvaccinated player attending the MAVs game
Speaker 1: and also on the sideline for the Cotton Bowl. That's right,
Speaker 1: Alabama and Cincinnati game. He's on the sideline. What he
Speaker 1: was on the sideline, so it didn't matter whether he
Speaker 1: had a mask on or not. It doesn't matter whether
Speaker 1: he had a mask on or not. He can't go anywhere.
Speaker 1: If you're unvaccinated and you go to a game game,
Speaker 1: you have to be in a luxury suite and you
Speaker 1: got to have a mask on with no more than
Speaker 1: ten other people in the suite. That's the only way
Speaker 1: unvaccinated players are allowed to be out in public. And
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter that you've already tested positive and you're
Speaker 1: in that ninety day window. And that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: Because of that ninety day window, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing that that here's the other
Speaker 1: thing that reminded me of So he had COVID right right,
Speaker 1: and he missed he missed the Kansas City game and
Speaker 1: the Vegas game, yep. And what happened in those two
Speaker 1: games he lost Cowboys loss. Yeah. And also let's also
Speaker 1: remember that Cede Lamb missed the second half of the
Speaker 1: Kansas City game with a concussion and missed the Vegas game.
Speaker 1: So when everybody talks about this inconsistent Cowboy offense, well,
Speaker 1: let's see what they were dealing with two, right, because
Speaker 1: because in that Vegas in the Vegas game, but by
Speaker 1: the way, they ended up scoring thirty three points, they
Speaker 1: were out their top two wide receivers. Yeah, you preach
Speaker 1: each other choiet hiss bacts. Yeah, that's one thing they
Speaker 1: never talk about is the shortcomings that we've had to
Speaker 1: deal with, But they always talk about the inconsistencies that
Speaker 1: we deal with because of those shortcomings. We never have
Speaker 1: an excuse for that, because, well, they got all the
Speaker 1: talent in the team on all the talent in the
Speaker 1: world on that team. Well, last time I look, the
Speaker 1: loss Angeless Rams have a heck of a lot of
Speaker 1: talent at their wide receiver position as well, And I
Speaker 1: don't hear anybody giving Matt Matt Stafford excuses for his
Speaker 1: play this year. Yeah, and it just goes back to
Speaker 1: talking about what Mike McCarthy's been talking about these last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, when everybody just wants to look at statistics,
Speaker 1: right and see what the numbers are, And he said,
Speaker 1: sometimes you got to go inside the numbers and understand
Speaker 1: why they are the way they are. All Right, we
Speaker 1: were up against a break. We're past a break. We're
Speaker 1: way past a break. And that means we got so
Speaker 1: much the first one first, the first one, the first one,
Speaker 1: and that means we've got like twenty two minutes to
Speaker 1: cram in. Oh my half century worth of content coming
Speaker 1: up next. We never got to that. Hey, cowboys fans,

Speaker 1: four hundred dollars. So do you think there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a bunch of San Francisco fans in the stands. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what they've spent on their houses out there.
Speaker 1: We're spending a nine hours here now, twenty four is
Speaker 1: dropping a bucket. Um Just Jerry, Jerry earlier in the
Speaker 1: week had mentioned that he'd love to see a hundred
Speaker 1: thousand fans there. What's what's he saying now? I think
Speaker 1: he was still hoping for it and he understands though,
Speaker 1: and he was kind of I can't remember it was
Speaker 1: him or Mike McCarthy when they were asked today about
Speaker 1: you know, a sea of red in the stadium against
Speaker 1: the white, black, white backdrop. I'll get it out. He basically.
Speaker 1: They basically said, Hey, if the Cowboys give the fans
Speaker 1: something to cheer about, they'll drown out any San Francisco
Speaker 1: fans that are here. That's true. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: not gonna be it. This is not gonna be so far.
Speaker 1: That's what I don't want to hear. Now, we've had
Speaker 1: our so far issues in regards to the visiting team
Speaker 1: comes in and they're making a lot of noise. But
Speaker 1: the only reason they make a lot of noises because
Speaker 1: we're not playing well on the field. Once we started
Speaker 1: playing well on the field, then the crowd gets behind
Speaker 1: the team. I do wish, however, that the Cowboys were
Speaker 1: more of the crowd that like the Saints game. That
Speaker 1: Saints game boy, never forget it. The energy in that
Speaker 1: stadium was like no game I have ever played in
Speaker 1: or been to my entire life. They elevated that Cowboys
Speaker 1: team to beat those Saints, and not just beat them,
Speaker 1: but they took it to them from the from the
Speaker 1: kickoff to the end of the game. They were in
Speaker 1: that game all the way. That's when. That's when they
Speaker 1: had me so excited. I saw another Jalen Smith in
Speaker 1: that game that I've never seen before and never seen since.
Speaker 1: He played the best game I've ever seen him play
Speaker 1: along with that Cowboys defense. So I wish as Cowboy fans,
Speaker 1: we came out energized, not just waiting for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: to energize them as players. Okay, as far as this
Speaker 1: matchup with the forty nine ers, I had an opportunity yesterday.
Speaker 1: By the way, Have I mentioned this week that the
Speaker 1: game is on CBS? Yeah? I think you did. Every weekday, Thursday, Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and Monday. Three thirty Sunday on CBS with Jim Nance,
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson on the call. I had
Speaker 1: an opportunity. I had about a twenty minute chat with
Speaker 1: Tony Romo yesterday. We did a little zoom with him
Speaker 1: talking about the game, and it's very interesting. You can
Speaker 1: go to my Twitter CBS eleven Bill Jones and check
Speaker 1: it out the entire interview. But among the things that
Speaker 1: he talked about, Number one, UM, Kellen Moore's gone. Okay,
Speaker 1: He asked him, so, how important is this playoff run
Speaker 1: to Kellen Moore as far as his future? And he says,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what the Cowboys do. He thinks he's
Speaker 1: getting a head coaching job regardless of how they do
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So he knows something. He thinks that
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is gone regardless of what happens. Um would
Speaker 1: he throw if as a quarterback, as a competitor, would
Speaker 1: he throw at Trayvon Dicks? What do you think? He said, Yes,
Speaker 1: he would, of course he would, but he would he
Speaker 1: And just like what you've talked about, I believe Everson
Speaker 1: double moves is such a key whatever. He has got
Speaker 1: great respect for Trayvon and Um, it's just interesting to
Speaker 1: hear him. He went into great detail on how the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers might attack Trayvon Dick and uh, and
Speaker 1: so you can check that out. Um, he's usually on
Speaker 1: point with one of them. One of the one of
Speaker 1: the things, Yes, Mickey, don't tease us, Well, don't tease us.
Speaker 1: What did he say? Well, it was more, it was more,
Speaker 1: you know, you double moves. He's such an instinctive players
Speaker 1: double moves. Don't tell him no, but double once you
Speaker 1: once you establish the double moves, and even if you
Speaker 1: don't complete it whatever, now you can later in the
Speaker 1: game attack him because he's got to be mindful of
Speaker 1: there could be a double move. And so that's basically
Speaker 1: how he would set him up. Okay, Uh, one of
Speaker 1: the ar as greedy as guys like myself and Digs are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you better run it every time. You got to show
Speaker 1: we're very stubborn, that very stubble. That's right. But he
Speaker 1: does say that's one of the intriguing things about this matchup.
Speaker 1: He thinks that, uh, we're gonna to be able to
Speaker 1: tell early on. Um, you know, obviously the obvious key
Speaker 1: is stopping their running game and we'll be able to
Speaker 1: tell very early. Uh, if they're outside zone run plays
Speaker 1: are working or not. And if they are, if they're
Speaker 1: getting the yardage early, it's not a good sign for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Well, they were. They weren't getting yards early
Speaker 1: in the Rams game, but then the second half they
Speaker 1: saw what they could do. They were just then Yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, a seventeen nothing lead wasn't big enough for
Speaker 1: them for the Rams in that game. But the interesting
Speaker 1: thing Mickey Uh, as far as the Cowboys are concerned,
Speaker 1: um I asked him what had he seen, uh first
Speaker 1: six games, seven games of the year for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: compared to the last half of the season. He had.
Speaker 1: He went on and on praising Dak and how much
Speaker 1: Dak is like a coach on the field and just
Speaker 1: as understanding it. He says, he thinks what defenses have
Speaker 1: done is it's the post snap adjustments that they've made
Speaker 1: that Dak has um and he didn't say struggled with.
Speaker 1: But that's that's that's been effective, that's right, and that's
Speaker 1: any where Dak has had to make an adjustment for
Speaker 1: any quar Yeah, it's it's what teams would show something
Speaker 1: pre snap. And Dak is so good at reading a
Speaker 1: defense pre snap and uh, it's the post snap stuff
Speaker 1: that was throwing him a little bit. But he he said,
Speaker 1: as much as he praises Kellen Moore, he says what
Speaker 1: he believes, if the Cowboys can establish their run game again,
Speaker 1: that they can win the Super Bowl. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: You gotta have to win a game, you have to
Speaker 1: have it. What do you thinks? Back? And then, how
Speaker 1: how do you establish a running game? Yeah, especially the
Speaker 1: offensive line? Right? All right, have you checked out we've
Speaker 1: been talking about this. Have you checked out this Saffrance
Speaker 1: in front four, in front six? Oh, yes, they're pretty stout. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very hard, right, And and Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: basically pointed it out when he was asked about his
Speaker 1: offensive line, and he said, you know, we feel good
Speaker 1: about them. He understands it's a huge challenge. But he
Speaker 1: also said, we understand the game starts up front. And
Speaker 1: he basically said the game and he's basically talking about
Speaker 1: both offensive lines. He said, it will start with the
Speaker 1: offensive line and it will end with the offensive line.
Speaker 1: How those two lines play will determine who wins this game.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. No, you know, and this
Speaker 1: go ahead me ever, So I was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: I don't know if Williams coming back will help them
Speaker 1: or hurt them, because once again, they were pretty consistent
Speaker 1: without him in that second half. So if I'm if
Speaker 1: I'm the Cowboys D line, I'm putting pressure wherever Williams
Speaker 1: is playing, I'm gonna make sure and hold my pressure
Speaker 1: in on his position because I have to see if
Speaker 1: he's ready or not. I mean San Francisco fans when
Speaker 1: they talk about Williams coming back, they talk about it
Speaker 1: as if he's the second coming, Like now that he's back,
Speaker 1: then we're gonna be okay, we've been fine without him,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be great with him. So I can't wait
Speaker 1: to see what what what he's coming back with. I
Speaker 1: think we should test him right away. You heard the
Speaker 1: first team all I did I did? They need to
Speaker 1: check out, they need to check out which elbow it is.
Speaker 1: I think they can figure that out. Yeah, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure it'll be it'll be the bulky one. So okay,
Speaker 1: along those lines, and we gotta go to a breaker
Speaker 1: real quick after. But along those lines, Randy Gregory versus
Speaker 1: Trent Williams, who wins that whether it's whether it's whether
Speaker 1: it's whether it's rushing the passer or defending the run.
Speaker 1: For Randy Gregory's perspective, who wins the battle Randy Gregory
Speaker 1: versus Trent Williams And how important is that to this game? Wow?
Speaker 1: We back, we're doing it now. Ah, man, I don't
Speaker 1: know Gregory's chances, and I think they will move him around. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I don't want to be predictable.
Speaker 1: I don't want him just going up against Williams all
Speaker 1: the time. I think we should have multi looks, multiple looks,
Speaker 1: just like everyone's giving multiple looks to us. So that's
Speaker 1: my answer on that one. Okay, all right, we got
Speaker 1: picks to click, picks, we got picks to win. It's

Speaker 1: Ers and the playoffs goes back to nineteen seventy NFC
Speaker 1: Championship game. Cowboys won seventeen to ten in or out
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl five the loss to the Baltimore Colts,
Speaker 1: and that was a sixteen thirteen final. Nineteen seventy one
Speaker 1: Cowboys beat the forty nine bill What what give me?
Speaker 1: Some insight to that game. Well, not that if we
Speaker 1: get bogged down in that game, have enough time a
Speaker 1: time to go into all of them. Okay, three minutes
Speaker 1: left in the show. Yeah, Yet this was just this
Speaker 1: was just a brainload to our picks. Nicky, We're not
Speaker 1: going in depth there, Okay. Nineteen seventy one NFC Championship Game,
Speaker 1: fourteen to three, and then beat Miami in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and then nineteen seventy two Roger Staubach got hurt. This season,
Speaker 1: Craig Morton was back as the starting quarterback. He started
Speaker 1: the game against the forty nine Ers in the Divisional
Speaker 1: playoff game, and but with two minutes left, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: trailed twenty eight to sixteen and Roger Staubach had come
Speaker 1: off the bench. He leads the Cowboys to two touchdowns
Speaker 1: in the last two minutes of that game, sandwiched around
Speaker 1: a Tony Fritch behind the back onside kick, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys won thirty to twenty eight. Then lost the letting
Speaker 1: the next week to Washington in the NFC Championship Game.
Speaker 1: Fast forward nineteen eighty one, we won't talk about one,
Speaker 1: and then in the nineties. In the nineties, nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: two championship getting Conference game, my favorite Cowboy game of
Speaker 1: all time. I was out there covering it all week
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. That was the thirty to twenty how
Speaker 1: about Them Cowboys game? And then the following year, which
Speaker 1: was the last time CBS did a Cowboys playoff game
Speaker 1: was you can put it in three inch headlines in
Speaker 1: the Cowboys one. And then the next year it was
Speaker 1: a twenty one nothing deficit. But the game that many
Speaker 1: consider to be perhaps Troy Aikman's finest game as a
Speaker 1: quarterback to come back against the Niners and then Barry
Speaker 1: get called for penalty on the sideline and San Francisco
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. All right, now, picks to click
Speaker 1: and picks to win, Mickey, take it away? Take it away?
Speaker 1: Is he there? You forgot the interference call? It didn't
Speaker 1: get called. Well, that was the Switzer. It was past
Speaker 1: interference and Switzer was arguing about it on the sideline.
Speaker 1: And so what people people talk about the Switzer costing
Speaker 1: them the game because he got the penalty. But anyway, anyway,
Speaker 1: so you want me to pick the game, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what we call pick the click. You guys were doing
Speaker 1: this way before I got here, so you should know
Speaker 1: about this stuff. Cowboys win this game twenty seven, twenty three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a close one. Spags you right
Speaker 1: about that, brother, And my pick, my pick, the Clicks
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy you can't bully the lionbacker Michael Parsons.
Speaker 1: M So you're going with a defensive guy. Huh? You
Speaker 1: got any statue you want to throw at us? Ye? Like, yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: fumble recovery, for fumble, anything, give us a narrative. Two sacks,
Speaker 1: two sacks and forced fumble. All right, two sacks and
Speaker 1: the sable whoa, alrighty, alright, Okay. I am looking at
Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be. We're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: jump out on them guys. I think offense is gonna
Speaker 1: be really strong. I think Dak's gonna have a good game.
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at the score. Probably gonna be we're
Speaker 1: gonna score thirty points. We're gonna score thirty points. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get back to that. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: thirty thirty to twenty four. I think the Niners are
Speaker 1: gonna try and come back on us. But I'm looking
Speaker 1: at Dak from my pick to click. He's gonna have
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I'm looking at probably quarterback rating one twenty.
Speaker 1: That's specific. I am all right, very good. I love that. Yes,
Speaker 1: I like that score. Thirty to twenty four. Okay, Mickey's
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty three. Um, I am going with a
Speaker 1: pick to click. How about the tight ends in this matchup?
Speaker 1: George Kittle for who made the Pro Bowl. Dalton Schultz
Speaker 1: did not make the Pro Bowl. But Schultz actually has
Speaker 1: more catches and more touchdowns than Kittle this season. My
Speaker 1: pick to click is Dalton Schultz for the Cowboys, and
Speaker 1: in fact, my final score is thirty to twenty eight. Wait,
Speaker 1: I got it? What thirty? Oh yeah? Something to say.
Speaker 1: You know what's gonna happen With fifty one seconds left
Speaker 1: in this game. Dak Prescott is gonna be flushed out
Speaker 1: to the right under He's gonna throw to the back
Speaker 1: of the end zone, and Dalton Schultz is gonna rise
Speaker 1: above a quarterback. Do they have a number twenty four
Speaker 1: on their team? Now? Gonna rise above Emmanuel Moseley to
Speaker 1: catch the game winning touchdown pass to make it thirty
Speaker 1: to twenty eight. The Cowboys win. I like forty years
Speaker 1: later I like that, but I don't see shows going
Speaker 1: up like that. Okay, going up like that. CD. Let's
Speaker 1: just see CD going up right, my pick to click
Speaker 1: to lamb. That's it, alright, CD, LAMB, it's going up
Speaker 1: top and he's gonna have the game winner. Alright, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's exciting, beautiful Friday after NICKI predicted score in nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy two. No, it was one. It was the final score.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah it was in nineteen seventy two. That's right,
Speaker 1: it was in nineteen seventy two. You're on to me, Mickey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I figured you were going twenty eight twenty seven. I
Speaker 1: could have which was the eighty two final score. God,
Speaker 1: this game is so cool, just kind of watching that
Speaker 1: old school stuff, all right, every we know Everson's going
Speaker 1: to spend the rest of the afternoon watching the NFL
Speaker 1: network the replay of the nineteen eighty one NFC Championship game.
