WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Happy 78th

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 1>and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is nick shot

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 1>screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and Nicky Spagnola. And it is a Tuesday as we

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>get you set for Cowboys and Cardinals. It seems like

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>a long ways away still because it's Monday Night football

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>this week at at and T Stadium, two days removed

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>from the Cowboys win over the Giants, and I thought

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>to kick off today's show we pull back the curtain

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit there, Mickey, because Everson showed up early

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>for today's show. He was. He was forty five seconds early,

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>which means forty five seconds ago he tuned in on

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. He was ready to go, That's right,

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>which led us to a little conversation. You asked, or

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 1>maybe it was Chris Beam, our producer, asked h Everson

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>if he ever got fined by Tom Landry back in

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the day. And Everson, did you ever get fined by

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Tom Landry for being late? Oh? Yes, oh yes, Tom Landry,

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>what do you've ever been late? Here? You've never been

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>late here. You just I've never I've never been fined here.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>That's what we've been say. I've never been fined here.

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Yes I have been late. Thank you guys for not

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>docking my pain. I really AMPLI wait a minute, we

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>might we might go talk to Big rib Hey me

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and Big Rober like this, all right, leave Big Rob alone?

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>No I did uh. Let me see back in back

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>my rookie year in eighty one, the Cowpitals used to

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>leave out of love Field. If I'm not mistaken. You

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>know we had to. We would would fly out of there.

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>And one time I missed the flight. You know, we

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>would just drive up to the talk. We wouldn't We

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to go through security or anything like that,

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>just drive up to the plane. And and man, I

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>was a little late. So you know, Tom, he's gonna

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>show the rookie. You know, they'd be eleven interceptions and

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>all of this. No, you're not too big for your britches,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>getting too big for your britches. So I got fined.

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I got fined just for missing the flight,

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>like two hundred bucks or something. But I had to

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>get my own flight up to New York, New Jersey,

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I missed the flight. I believe that's when

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>we went into overtime against the Giants in nineteen eighty one.

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>It was like the last game of the year. So yeah,

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 1>you made an almost all the way through the season

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>then almost. Man. You know me, Man, I'm always just

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>just like right there. That's story in my life. Got well, Everson,

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>don't feel bad because Michael Irvin missed the flight to

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Detroit one year. I remember that. And we'll see Mike,

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Mike was Mike was a kept man by the organization.

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>See he was one of their favorites. Yeah, I wasn't

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>he was. He wasn't favorite. He wasn't favorite enough. When

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Uh looked at his watch and saw the door

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't shut, and they said, uh, didn't it time to go?

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>And they said, well, Michael's not here. What time are

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>we supposed to leave? One o'clock? What time is it

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>one o two? Shut the door, let's go, and and

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and Michael had to get his own flight, go to

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Detroit on his own and Uh, Jimmy UH basically announced

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>to the team and the team meeting that Michael, Michael

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>will be punished for missing the flight. Uh. He will

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>not start the game. He has to miss the first possession,

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and North Turner promptly asked if they kicked off, is

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that the first possession if the Lions have the ball first? Yeah,

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I would. I can imagine what the conversation was like when, uh,

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>when Tom decided to leave me. I'm pretty sure that

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't much talking at all. They probably wanted to leave early.

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>They probably want to leave earlier. What is it, uh

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>five till closed the door. Yeah, that's probably what Tom said.

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Now here's what he said, Emerson, He said Emerson, who Emerson? Emerson?

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>He's late all the time. Yeah. Thanks Ali, Chris for

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>bringing all of this up. I really appreciate you, buddy. Well,

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually one who brought it up on the air.

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Chris just brought it up before year. But okay, Mickey,

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>bring us up to speed on what is going on. Well,

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys obviously end up losing two more starters. By

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 1>my count, that'll be nine starters that have been placed

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 1>on injured reserve at some point the start of this season.

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Obviously Dak Prescott after his surgery, Tristan Hill tour as

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>acl he'll go on injured reserve. You know, what And

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that's one of those things where you know, if you're

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna get hurt like that and out for the season,

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>don't do it in the same game that the franchise

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback gets hurt, right, because you become this footnote at

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the bottom and also injured bags. And you know, and

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.039
<v Speaker 1>he's been playing well, he was probably playing the best

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>of any of those defensive tackles, had great, most tackles

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of them all, and uh, you know, it's a shame,

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.479
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, they're gonna have to go without him. I

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>would imagine Neville Gallimore gonna get more snaps, and who

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>knows for if they need more bodies on game day,

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe they bring somebody up off the ID. An idea,

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I got an idea. I don't. I don't. You probably

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 1>couldn't pass the COVID protocols in time for Monday, but

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe you could. I saw the Saints release Marcus Hunt,

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the big six eight six nine defensive tackle out of

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>SMU who blocks all the kicks. Oh, big guy, big fellow, Yeah,

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>big old to guy y. Yes, here's my fun. Okay,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>just get him in here. He didn't even have to

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>practice with the team. Okay, just get him in here.

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>The Cowboys are playing Kyler Murray on Monday Night. Stand

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>as tall as he can, because Kyler Murray will never

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>be able to throw over here. So there you go.

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 1>So I build it. Did they did? They just release

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>him yesterday. Yeah, so as long as he's been with

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>another team, the COVID thing doesn't. Uh, you don't need

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Was very Saints had a game last night,

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and so you don't need to do the three negatives

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>in four days. You just have to come in and

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>pass the initial country test and you're to get him

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>in here. So he in here, bring him in and

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>at least for spoil team, right, but they can guarantee you. Fossil,

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's blocked. Uh. He set the NCAA record

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>for block kicks at s and you and he earlier

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>this season he had one for for the Saints. Gary.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I bet you Fossil is in there lobbying right now.

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>We got to get this out. And at least he

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>did was he was, he was he was a specialist.

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I was a specialist at an interception. This guy's a

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>specialist at blocking kids. It was amazing. He was Yeah

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>at s mu he I mean he came to this

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>country to play basketball and not the side. And it

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, no, you can play some football and

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Russian right Russian? Yeah yeah, and uh yeah, as long

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>as he just stands up and doesn't you know, go

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>off sides when you block one or or for some

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>reason they have twelve guys on the field when you

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>block one. Get that stuff straightened down. But anyway, going

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>back to Tristan Hills, so uh yeah, too bad on that.

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Also a little update on on Dak's surgery. I found

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>out that the compound part of it fracture. The compound

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>means you you the bone broke the skin, But it

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like the fractured bone broke the skin when he

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>dislocated his ankle. The ankle bone when it turned. Uh

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>bas bags, keep asking, keep going, keep asking if I

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>knew anything new because it twisted the way it wasn't

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be twisted, and it caused the skin. Um

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>to to boy, you think you messed up that you

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>think you messed up the Jack Black commercial. Oh my god.

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>But but but the good news on this is that

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the doctors believe that um, he should be this is

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 1>not one of those career threatening things. He didn't suffer

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>any nerve damage. Uh. And the reason one of the

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>other reasons why they rushed him the hospital and didn't

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the surgery or they took so much time on the

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>ground putting the brace on there, um that you have

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that whatever the injury is, it doesn't

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 1>stop the blood flow uh into your foot. That's what

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>they were most concerned. You know, the infection party did

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>They said they did it. They did it in that

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>air cast, and that's what took so long before they

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>moved him. And then my understanding was after that, you know,

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>there's probably not as much pain because they fixed the

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>dislocation uh and then and they just wanted to make

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>sure the blood flow is continuing, because that's when you

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>get in trouble if the injury causes the blood flow

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to stop. So anyway, it sounds like, you know, the

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>four to six month deal is pretty accurate. And so

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe by April when they start the offseason, if indeed

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>they start the offseason on time, um, that he should

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>be by then ready to go. As Mike McCarthy said,

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, he'll challenge the timeline for sure. Oh you know,

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and Dad, they'll have to slow him down to make

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>sure that he doesn't do anything. But as a matter

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of fact, I found out that I guess I was

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>in good company because the doctor uh that did the

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>surgery was the same one that fixed my rupture to chilles.

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>So oh wow. So evidently he only does big time

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>He only does big time surgeries, right yeah, Okay, No,

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that means that means he lows. That means he lures

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>himself to the common man. That's what it means. Okay,

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>let's be real. But I mean, really, man, I you know,

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>we of course play for Dad, but I'm glad you

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Tristan Hill. You know, we just really can't ignore

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the fact that this young man was having a great

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>year so far. I mean, considering that the line was

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>having problems. We could really use him, of course on

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>this team. But I'm hoping he comes back as well, because,

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>like you said, spat to be considered a footnote, you know,

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that's not what you want. This guy's career is extremely

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>important to him and his family, and I just hope

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that he comes out of this okay, and hopefully we

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>can have him back next year, probably hopefully better than ever.

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 1>My prayers go up for both of those guys, So

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to make sure that that is that is known. Yeah,

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 1>you know what. It reminds me of the Gallows humor

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.680
<v Speaker 1>when we be flying on the charter and the weather

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>but be really bad and everybody bet on a panicking

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and you're thinking, boy, if this thing goes down, you know,

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I know what the headline is. And then the last

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>paragraph also perishing in the PS. It's a PS in

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the article PS. Also they went down. It was it

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>was like it was like when we had the bus

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>crash going to training camp in twenty sixteen and uh,

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 1>we were we were non what did they call us? Uh?

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Non significant personnel was on the bus. Non essential, non

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>essential personnel was on the bus. And I said, my

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>mother thinks I'm first essential. Well, well at least you

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>weren't insignificant. Yeah right, yeah, non essential. Okay, there's a

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterback coming in here too, there, Mickey, Yes, Garrett Gilbert.

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are bringing him in off Cleveland's practice squad. So again,

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>since he's on a practice squid, it shouldn't take him

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:07.559
<v Speaker 1>as long to be allowed into the building. Bill I

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I was shocked when I start looking up his uh

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, and we I guess because we knew of

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 1>him at Lake Travis High School in Austin, played what

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 1>two years at UT and then transferred to SMU. It

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 1>seems like Sky's been around half our lives played we played, remember, well,

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.320
<v Speaker 1>how long ago has it been? At the Texas played

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 1>in the National Championship game two thousand and nine seasons

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and nine, and Colt McCoy got hurt early in that

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>game and Gary Gilbert came in to replace him against

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Alabama and m and then he wound up transferring to

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 1>SMU and he was a sixth round pick of the

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Rams or something. I think it may have been the Rams.

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>The Rams, yeah and so or actually, and then he

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>ended up in New England. He's got several teams, so

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 1>he's got a national championship, a high school championship ring,

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 1>a national championship ring, and he won a Super Bowl

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:11.199
<v Speaker 1>with New England. I believe has he ever started, uh?

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Not high school? He did in high school and then

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I think he started the year the next year after

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the national championship and he lost the starting job. But

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>he went to SMU and started. And then how about

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>this in twenty nineteen before he joined the Cleveland Browns. Uh,

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>he was the starting quarterback of the Orlando Apollos in

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the AAF League, and after eight games before the league disbanded,

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>he was the leading passer in that league for the Apollos.

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>By the way, So you're saying it's another Curt Warner

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>in the making, is that what you're telling me? Well,

0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 1>he was. I don't know that Kurt Warner had a

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.160
<v Speaker 1>published as much early on in his life as what

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Garrett Gilbert did. I mean Garrett Gilbert coming out of

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Lake Travis, he was one of the most celebrated high

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>school quarterbacks ever to come out of Texas. In fact,

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>he was the national the Gatorade National Player of the Year.

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Uh you know he was, he was it and uh

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and then at Texas, Uh you know, I didn't pan

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 1>out there and he wound up transferring SMU. I'm looking

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>through right now as far as his professional careers with

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:34.119
<v Speaker 1>the Rams, the Patriots, the Lions, the Raiders, the Parrot Liners,

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>then the Alliance of American Football, Orlando Apollos, and then

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 1>this year with the Browns who loved accumulating UH. Texas

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 1>high school quarterbacks with Baker Mayfield, Case Keenom and then

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>UH Karrett Gilbert so well. He apparently Mike mccarth he

0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>served yield. He served as Baker Mayfield's backup quarterback last year,

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter of he just didn't have I think he

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>only had to play, like maybe go in for two

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 1>games or something like that, which was highly unusual because

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 1>because Garrett Gilbert was at Lake Travis and Baker Mayfield,

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 1>younger than him, followed him at Lake Travis as the

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>quarterback won a state championship. Anyway, so here, here's Garret

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Gilbert's here. Here's what happens when you're around a long time.

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 1>When when I heard they were going to sign him,

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm starting to go look his stuff up, and

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I typed in Gail Gilbert, Well, that's his father, right,

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I had the wrong Gilbert. Well, and of course Gail

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Gilbert played in the NFL, and I was a backup

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterback for many years. So how about this thing? He

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is Andy Dalton. Do not get hurt, please? Yeah, well,

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>but we should, we should clarif I've been Denucci is

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the backup quarterback now, the rookie seventh round draft pick

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>out of James Madison, and at least for this game.

0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what the other insignificant fact. I found out

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>about Gail Gilbert. You know, he played with Buffalo, right,

0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>so he loses four consecutive Super Bowls. He's on those teams,

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and then the next year he ends up in San

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Diego and they get beat by San Francisco in the

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. So he owns the stitch in of all

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 1>player that has been to five consecutive Super Bowls and

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>lost them all and he factored into none of them. Yeah,

0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 1>he'd ever had to play. All right, I'm sorry. I

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 1>have no words for the family. I have no words

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 1>for the family. I'm sorry. So if you're looking for so,

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.879
<v Speaker 1>if you're looking for lineage there and you want to

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>have a bat all you want and if that's all

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you want, back up court back super Bowl and getting Gilbert.

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.840
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully that'll follow suit here because Garrett Gilbert foller

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 1>with the Patriots. Right, he's already at one. So what's

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen here is the Cowboys. Now we're good. He's

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna do the backwards and what his dad did, Okay,

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 1>his dad up low and then San Diego, well he

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.120
<v Speaker 1>did New England. So now the Cowboys will win. Poor

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 1>with Garret Gilbert is about by the way to back

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:21.680
<v Speaker 1>into greatness. All right, we're just getting started right there.

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>How does take a break? We'll regroup and be back

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>with more mix shots. Just a hey, they're cowboys fans

<v Speaker 1>talk about Yeah, well, I guess we bring people up

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to speed on DAK was in fact Mike McCarthy visiting

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.439
<v Speaker 1>man at the hospital yesterday morning. Then he was released

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in the afternoon and back home. As Mickey mentioned off

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 1>the top at four to six month time frame, looks

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to be what it is. I wouldn't it all be

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 1>surprised if Dak with his if there's any way for

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Dak with his work, ethic and belief system and so forth,

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be a four to six week plan.

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>And he's I guarantee you, mickey, if we're taking a

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 1>show in February at the in the locker room at

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the Star, there will be Dak Prescott there, Oh absolutely,

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he'll be, you know, as soon as

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.400
<v Speaker 1>they get him out of a boot, he'll be doing

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>his rehab. And so he'll be, you know, at the Star,

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>rehabbing the injury, and you know he'll do it with

0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:25.120
<v Speaker 1>everything he's got. You know. The other thing I ran

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:29.919
<v Speaker 1>across and I had forgotten this. Remember Alan Hearns's injury

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver Cowboys in the playoff, very similar to

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>what Dak uh Dak suffered, and he he came back.

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:41.080
<v Speaker 1>So the doctors think this is not one of those

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:47.360
<v Speaker 1>career threatening or career altering UH injuries that you can

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>recover from this UH and and get back. I think

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:56.399
<v Speaker 1>he still was in Miami. Yeah, yeah, last year he

0:22:56.440 --> 0:23:00.400
<v Speaker 1>had he was a primary receiver for the Dolphins year

0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and that injury occurred, of course, very late in the

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>season and so uh that that was really going to

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 1>put his opportunity, um, you know, on the back burner.

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 1>But the Cowboys, the Cowboys did him a good there

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and they kept him throughout that off season and all

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the way and his rehab and so forth was was

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.760
<v Speaker 1>able to be accomplished. And uh, and then he got

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:27.639
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity back home in Miami. Well one of the

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 1>really like dak another one of the really good guys

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Alan hearns. Yeah, absolutely so. So it is an injury

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:39.359
<v Speaker 1>you can return from and uh and and come back

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and play at the same level. Assuming all goes well.

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, they have to keep an eye on it,

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure there's no infections sit in or anything like that.

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.359
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, he should come back and be good to go.

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:57.880
<v Speaker 1>All right. How about Andy Dalton as the quarterback going forward? Now,

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's a guy who led the Bengals to

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:08.679
<v Speaker 1>five straight playoff appearances. He's up there either the number

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:12.680
<v Speaker 1>one guy all time at Cincinnati with the passing records,

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:14.439
<v Speaker 1>and which is saying a lot when you consider they

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>had Ken Anderson, him Boomerissias in there back in some

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>glory days back in the eighties for the Bengals when

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 1>they made it to a Super Bowl with Boomer. You know,

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:29.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, Dalton has some of the same qualities as

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 1>from a leadership standpoint, Mackey. You talk about his accuracy

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that you've noticed right off when you're watching him in

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>training camp. I mean, the Cowboys are in a good position,

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>probably a better position than most any team in the league.

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 1>If they did have to lose their starting quarterback with

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Andy Dalton, well, you know, it made me, you know,

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 1>go back and think, when's the last time the Cowboys

0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>have had a backup quarterback this accomplished. It's been quite

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a while. You know. You can say, well, Vinny Testaverdi,

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 1>but he wasn't supposed to be the starter that year.

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, he was supposed to be the backup. Um

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know, Vinnie had taken his team to

0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:21.560
<v Speaker 1>five consecutive playoffs and uh, and he did it his

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>first five years in the league too. If I'm not mistaken.

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Three times in the Pro Bowl, you know, I was

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:30.679
<v Speaker 1>sitting there thinking, and I'm going, you know, no, no, uh,

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.840
<v Speaker 1>nothing against Jason Garrett, but you probably had to go

0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:41.879
<v Speaker 1>back to Rodney Pete or Steve Berline. Steve Berline, Yeah, yeah,

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:46.360
<v Speaker 1>for that half half a season. I thought Steve Berline

0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 1>was the most effective UH coming off the bench when

0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 1>they made that year, and he was so affective that year.

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>UH back in the nineties, I thought that UH choice

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.560
<v Speaker 1>should have allowed him to start that game as well

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 1>against Detroit. No, he did, no, he did. He did

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 1>if I would call though we couldn't stop Dabby Sanders. Yeah,

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and they decided that would have been a good thing. Yeah.

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 1>They decided late in the second quarter to see if

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Troy because Troy wasn't real happy. He thought he should

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>have started that game. Yeah, he thought he was ready

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to go, but he came in late in the second

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 1>quarter and the game was already over. They they they

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>they just couldn't beat that team. Well, but then you

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 1>go back to the Cowboys and under Landry and with

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Gil Brandt and tex Ram I mean, they always had

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 1>more than one quality quarterback on the team. I mean,

0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:48.879
<v Speaker 1>starting in UH in nineteen sixty well sixty five, with

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Greg with Meredith and Greg Morton and of course Starback

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:56.719
<v Speaker 1>was fulfilling his naval commitment. And then when Starback was there,

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:59.399
<v Speaker 1>he had Starback and Craig Morton and Landry. Couldn't you

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.439
<v Speaker 1>know that the thing he couldn't figure out which one

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to start, to the point they would shuttle in plays

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 1>on that almost kept time out of the Hall of Fame.

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>That and then you had and then you had Danny

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:18.679
<v Speaker 1>White backing up Roger after stop. Yeah. Yeah, So, um

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:23.679
<v Speaker 1>it's the quarterback controversy going back to the to the

0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:26.720
<v Speaker 1>sixties is always the thing with the Cowboys, and uh,

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you're probably looking at so this is kind of a throwback.

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Uh now you can't do it anymore. And because of

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the free agency and the salary cap and so forth,

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to have that those type of quarterbacks on your team.

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 1>But Cowboys are very fortunate to have Andy Dalton and

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and And the biggest thing is they you know, they'll

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 1>tweak things as far as their offense is concerned, but

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>they don't have to, you know, they can just keep

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 1>rolling as far as this offense goes. And so it's

0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be interesting. Um, you know how they work

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:59.679
<v Speaker 1>things now with Dalton as the quarterback. You know, I'm Dalton.

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:03.199
<v Speaker 1>Dalton came in the game. They had they had to

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 1>continue the game plan. That's what I liked about it.

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.320
<v Speaker 1>They had to continue the game plan. They I don't

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>think they changed anything. As a matter of fact, he

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 1>still kept going to the same targets that Dak was

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 1>going to, especially that big third down to Ceedee Lamb

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:22.399
<v Speaker 1>that ended up allowing us to go for that go

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 1>ahead touchdown. I believe by by Zeke Elliott. One thing

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that I saw in the game though, when we're looking

0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:33.400
<v Speaker 1>at matchups Coop and Bradberry, they must have been really

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 1>going at it on the corner, because I don't think

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Coop got the target from Dak at all during the ballgame.

0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Was it one target for that one target from Dak? Correct? Yes, yes,

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>because Dalton came in and immediately hit him on the

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 1>sideline and and then almost threw a pick six because

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Bradberry jumped that bad boy he ran that route for Coop.

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Then all of us and Gallop is on him. He's

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:05.600
<v Speaker 1>on Gallop, and I would imagine the coverage was good.

0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Dalton had to make that amazing throw on the run

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:14.240
<v Speaker 1>that was against Bradberry going to Gallop on that play.

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought, Coop, you know how it is with Coop,

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>You're always looking at his body language. You really can't

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 1>really tell from his expression, but he did not look

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 1>too happy in the ballgame because it was almost like

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 1>he was non existent, and so go ahead. The other

0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 1>part of it is he just had forty two snaps

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 1>in the games. Who just two thirds of the snaps?

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:41.080
<v Speaker 1>So I'm trying to figure out what going on. Yeah,

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to what's going on there? And I'm glad

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 1>you guys brought that up because that's been the discussion

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 1>now all day long. It's like, how did the Cowboys

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>have to change their offense to fit Andy Dalton. I

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:56.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think they have to change much that they have

0:29:56.200 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to be concerned about. And Kellen Moore talked about we'll

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 1>have to make some adjustments, but he said, you know,

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 1>we got to run the office. And then there's this

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:10.120
<v Speaker 1>thought that, well, now you just rely on on Zeke.

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Well if you think that the Arizona Cardinals are thinking

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, right, Oh, we better get ready for

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Zeke because he's coming at us. You can't just say, okay,

0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna run the ball, you know, and everybody brings

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 1>up the one drive when they got down seventeen three

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and in a fourteen place seventy five yard drive they

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 1>scored the touchdown. They ran the ball ten times. Okay,

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, all right, But but you can't just say

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Zeke's carrying the ball thirty times a game now because

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 1>we got Andy Dalton as a quarterback. No, the reason

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 1>why you got Andy Dalton as your backup is because

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:47.920
<v Speaker 1>he can come in and run your offense. Now, the

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>one thing that will change is and this will go

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to the offensive line. You know, Dalton won't get you

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:58.760
<v Speaker 1>out of bad situations the way Dak could if the

0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 1>offensive lines not given him protection. He's not going to

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:05.760
<v Speaker 1>get out and run like Dak or maybe buy time.

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:08.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know the one pass he threw to Gallop,

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 1>he rolled out, he had to get out of the

0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 1>pocket and I thought he was going to throw the

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 1>ball away, and he threw it on the run and

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 1>very accurately, too, very accurately. The key thing will be

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 1>can these offensive tackles, the more they play, the more

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 1>they practice, can they improve as the season goes along?

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:31.240
<v Speaker 1>And give him some protection. Now, maybe the difference you

0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:34.760
<v Speaker 1>have is you play your tight ends a little bit more.

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>You give those guys some help. You ask Zeke instead

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>of going out for passes as many times, Hey, let

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 1>me chip. And if you noticed in the game against

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the Giants, they employed two running backs several times, so

0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 1>one could go out and one could chip. That might

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.400
<v Speaker 1>be something you would see instead of going two tight ends.

0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So they'll make some adjustments. But I just don't think

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you have this guy. Everybody looks at his last year

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 1>in Cincinnati. He had nothing. He had nothing. He didn't

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 1>have an offensive line, especially, he didn't have a J. Green. Right. Well,

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that's right, that's all he had probably previously, right Hyer

0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 1>boy too. But yeah, so anyway, Uh, this guy could play.

0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 1>You know this this is not this is not bringing

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 1>in Kyle Orton or anything. This guy could play. I

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 1>think I think, I think, uh, the game plan would

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 1>remain the same, but as you said, it's facts bringing

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.240
<v Speaker 1>into two tight ends. I think it'd be a bit

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 1>more conservative. Uh. And we talk about the drive, the

0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:42.600
<v Speaker 1>fourteen play drive. Uh, that's really to me quintessential Dallas

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Cowboy football. I think Dak would rather have it that way.

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that the Cowboy coaching staff would rather have

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:53.200
<v Speaker 1>it that way. I think when we have that game

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 1>plan in and it's effective, that's when we're most successful.

0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:58.360
<v Speaker 1>It's just the way it is and the way that

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 1>defense was playing, not necessarily being lights out, no doubt

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 1>about it. They still gave up twenty points to a

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 1>woeful New York Giants offense. But they only gave up

0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty points to a New York Giant offense. That's still

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:15.560
<v Speaker 1>something that you can hang your hat on. Because we

0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 1>hadn't stopped anyone. Our stoppage on drives was more than

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 1>we've ever stopped anyone. I would imagine in this game,

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>we probably stopped more drives and we did the previous

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 1>drives led up to this point. So you did see

0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>some continuity defensively which really led to them feeding into

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 1>our offense and how we were able to make plays

0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and not necessarily feel the pressure to score every time

0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 1>while we're on the field. So that's something I think

0:33:46.120 --> 0:33:48.560
<v Speaker 1>is going to be different in regards to our game plan,

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more conservative. Zeke is going to get

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the ball more. But don't expect Dalton just be sitting

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>back there like a sitting duck. He's gonna be a

0:33:56.840 --> 0:33:58.640
<v Speaker 1>guy who's gonna try and move us down the field.

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 1>And he can. Like you said, he's got the ability,

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>very durable quarterback, very doable quarterback, and he's very similat

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 1>So let's give him the benefit of the doubt at

0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:12.800

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:42.200
<v Speaker 1>final segment here of mixed shots, and we should point

0:36:42.239 --> 0:36:46.160
<v Speaker 1>out Mickey that there is a rather large birthday today.

0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>There is Jerry Jones. October thirteenth is his birthday. Wow,

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:58.120
<v Speaker 1>turns seventy eight, seventy eight, seventy eight today, and still

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:02.160
<v Speaker 1>kicking up a storm. By the way, He's been kind

0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of quiet here lately in regards to all this social

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:10.799
<v Speaker 1>injustice is going on and all these protests, so a bit,

0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what, he hasn't been quiet. He just hasn't

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 1>been available for interviews because you think about it. You know,

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:20.080
<v Speaker 1>after every home game, or every game, not just home home.

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:24.400
<v Speaker 1>In a way, he would hold court before they basically

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 1>opened the locker room and the head coach would speak.

0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>That's not happening anymore because of COVID and all the

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:35.000
<v Speaker 1>NFL protocols for it. So really the only time we

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>hear from him now is twice a week when he

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.919
<v Speaker 1>does his segment on one oh five three the Fan,

0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:43.759
<v Speaker 1>or when he puts out a statement like he did

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 1>after Dak got hurt, so you know he had it.

0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:50.600
<v Speaker 1>He had an interesting comment today was right at the

0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:55.320
<v Speaker 1>end of the interview about how he lives his life

0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:59.239
<v Speaker 1>and he always have being positive, the fact that his

0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:02.839
<v Speaker 1>glass is always half full. He said, I couldn't I

0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:06.560
<v Speaker 1>couldn't stand myself if I was negative all the time

0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:10.879
<v Speaker 1>and wasting my energy on negative thoughts. He goes, that's

0:38:10.920 --> 0:38:13.759
<v Speaker 1>why I'm so positive. He goes, and I'm trying to

0:38:13.760 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 1>think of how he used the word, but he used

0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the word naivety, not naive, naivety that he goes to

0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a fault. That's me. If that's what I am. I

0:38:24.120 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>may be very naive, but I'm always looking towards the positive,

0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:31.759
<v Speaker 1>or how I can turn something negative into a positive.

0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 1>As he said, when the COVID hit and no one

0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:37.719
<v Speaker 1>was sure if this season would go off, and if

0:38:37.760 --> 0:38:40.960
<v Speaker 1>fans would be in the stands, and and and his

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:43.920
<v Speaker 1>thoughts were somebody said you have to put an asterisk

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>on this season. He goes, if you put an asterisk,

0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:49.080
<v Speaker 1>then it should be an asterisk that we pulled this off. That,

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.080
<v Speaker 1>And he was saying this before we went to training camp.

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, that was his kind of his thoughts on

0:38:56.719 --> 0:39:01.839
<v Speaker 1>life at seventy eight years old. You know, I thought

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, even like when the Lakers won the

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:08.160
<v Speaker 1>other day, Um, you know, after for those NBA teams

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.839
<v Speaker 1>and when Tampa Bay won, when in the NHL and

0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.840
<v Speaker 1>so forth, those guys had spent so much time away

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 1>from their families and stuff in the bubble. I mean,

0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't take away from a championship that is won

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:24.920
<v Speaker 1>in these circumstances. In fact, I think it's enhanced actually

0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:30.400
<v Speaker 1>for their team to come through under these circumstances. Uh.

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:34.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's the other thing that the positive spirit

0:39:34.520 --> 0:39:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that and that was what I was taken aback by

0:39:37.160 --> 0:39:41.240
<v Speaker 1>or not surprised by. But I was inspired by actually

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Jerry at is opening press conference before training camp, that

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:49.440
<v Speaker 1>positive spirit that he had about the pandemic and so forth.

0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:53.959
<v Speaker 1>That is the same attitude that is a hallmark of

0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott. I mean, I remember a couple of years

0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:01.359
<v Speaker 1>ago and the Cowboys had that horr Mobile stretch in

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:05.040
<v Speaker 1>November where they were getting blown out three straight games.

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember the numbers on it. But and I

0:40:07.440 --> 0:40:12.160
<v Speaker 1>guess it was that when Zeke was suspended, and I

0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:16.279
<v Speaker 1>remember I did a sit down interview with Dak. It

0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:20.279
<v Speaker 1>was it was in the days after the Thanksgiving Day game,

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and I was just blown away by how confident he

0:40:26.160 --> 0:40:28.240
<v Speaker 1>was that that team was going to turn it around.

0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:31.280
<v Speaker 1>And I guarantee you if you sat down with Dak today,

0:40:32.000 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 1>even after what happened on Sunday, that he would have

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:39.399
<v Speaker 1>that same attitude that this team can do it, and

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.080
<v Speaker 1>as soon as he can get in there with his

0:40:42.160 --> 0:40:44.760
<v Speaker 1>teammates and so forth, he is going to be doing

0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:49.520
<v Speaker 1>everything he can to get behind Andy Dalton and his

0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:51.799
<v Speaker 1>teammates and so forth and do what he can to

0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 1>help them accomplish what they had set out to do

0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:58.680
<v Speaker 1>with this season began. So they were five and three.

0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:02.920
<v Speaker 1>They were five three after the first eight games, and

0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:06.439
<v Speaker 1>then Zeke got suspended for six in a row. They

0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 1>lost the next three straight twenty seven seven to Atlanta,

0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:14.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine nine to Philadelphia, and twenty eight six to

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers, and then turned it around and won four

0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of the last five games. That see right, and that

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:24.080
<v Speaker 1>and that was after that Thanksgiving game. He's when I

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and I was drainting doing the interview with him, I

0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:28.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, man, this is gonna be horrible. The team

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:34.240
<v Speaker 1>is playing awful, and I felt I felt lifted myself

0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:37.399
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the interview. I'm going to accomplish something

0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:40.600
<v Speaker 1>today after talking to it. That's the that's the kind

0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:43.520
<v Speaker 1>of leader that guy is, and he'll be like that

0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 1>even when he's not playing. I think, yeah, I think

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:51.879
<v Speaker 1>when you look at most accomplished athletes, um, you're motivated

0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:54.680
<v Speaker 1>by by one or two things. It's either you're gonna

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:58.480
<v Speaker 1>be motivated by positivity. Are you're gonna be motivated by

0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:01.440
<v Speaker 1>by the the missteps that you might have taken in

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 1>your life, you know, because you you Sometimes anger can

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:10.520
<v Speaker 1>can lead to achievements as long as that anger is

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 1>channeled in the right way. Uh. Sometimes you get mad

0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:18.400
<v Speaker 1>at yourself, you know, sometimes you get mad at the situation.

0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:21.120
<v Speaker 1>But at one point you go, you know what, I'm

0:42:21.200 --> 0:42:25.200
<v Speaker 1>not taking this anymore. After a while, you stop pointing

0:42:25.200 --> 0:42:28.200
<v Speaker 1>fingers and you point to yourself and say, it's up

0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to me to make this right. And so yeah, you can.

0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:32.840
<v Speaker 1>You can say that comes from a point of anger,

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:35.520
<v Speaker 1>or it comes from a point of positivity, but at

0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>all points to the fact that you need to take

0:42:38.480 --> 0:42:40.800
<v Speaker 1>care of business and a change needs to be made.

0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:44.239
<v Speaker 1>So I don't care how you how where it comes from. Uh,

0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:49.200
<v Speaker 1>motivation can come from many different places. You know, it's

0:42:49.200 --> 0:42:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a good point everything because you know when when I

0:42:51.480 --> 0:42:54.279
<v Speaker 1>would every year, i'd go to training camp and you know,

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:58.360
<v Speaker 1>with either eighty or ninety man rosters, they're thirty guys

0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:00.879
<v Speaker 1>on there that they don't have a chance in hell

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:03.800
<v Speaker 1>of making the team right. But I but I always

0:43:03.880 --> 0:43:06.560
<v Speaker 1>see these athletes that you know, we used to call

0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:09.640
<v Speaker 1>camp bodies, like you're just there for training camp, but

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:12.919
<v Speaker 1>so positive about yeah, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna

0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:15.480
<v Speaker 1>make this right. And it it made me think if

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you don't have that attitude and you go in thinking

0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:21.279
<v Speaker 1>they just got me here for three weeks and then

0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm done, you can't you can't perform right you you

0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:27.879
<v Speaker 1>won't have you won't even give yourself a chance. But

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I've seen athletes and I don't know if it's confidence

0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:33.520
<v Speaker 1>or just the fact that you've got to be positive

0:43:33.600 --> 0:43:37.799
<v Speaker 1>otherwise you've got no shot whatsoever for a miracle to

0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 1>take place. In nineteen eighty one, I must admit I

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:45.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I was naive, partly insane, but you

0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:49.719
<v Speaker 1>know you're gonna be there for six weeks if you're

0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna make if you're like the first round pit.

0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I packed for six weeks when I went to Thousand

0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Oaks my Wookie year. I had a big suitcase and

0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I will all my clothes. While I was there, I

0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:04.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't watch anything, So as far as I was concerned,

0:44:05.000 --> 0:44:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I had no choice. I was angry about not getting

0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:12.080
<v Speaker 1>drafted and all of that. So like you said, like

0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I said, that anger can sometimes motivate you, uh to

0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:20.480
<v Speaker 1>really think outside yourself and never give up. So yeah,

0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I was one of those camp bodies bags, I know

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:27.640
<v Speaker 1>what you mean. It was twenty five rookie dbs and

0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:29.880
<v Speaker 1>they didn't give any one of us a chance to

0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.960
<v Speaker 1>make it. Mike Downs started it and then I was

0:44:33.000 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 1>able to finish it. So it was good stuff. That's

0:44:36.160 --> 0:44:39.799
<v Speaker 1>the same naivete that Jerry was talking about on the

0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:42.440
<v Speaker 1>radio today. I mean, how to have it. You know,

0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:44.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't look at the numbers. I mean, yeah, you

0:44:44.320 --> 0:44:46.560
<v Speaker 1>realized there were guys there, There were twenty five other

0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:49.400
<v Speaker 1>guys there. You realized that, I mean people were drafted

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that year, and you weren't drafted, but it didn't matter.

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:55.640
<v Speaker 1>You could know that that same mindset that I'm gonna

0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:58.399
<v Speaker 1>make it. I'm you. You can be mad all you want,

0:44:58.480 --> 0:45:00.280
<v Speaker 1>you can be mad all you want, but if actually

0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:02.759
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get down the business, and that's what that's right.

0:45:03.560 --> 0:45:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Probably why Jerry was able to last at Arkansas as

0:45:07.120 --> 0:45:11.680
<v Speaker 1>an offensive lineman, right, he doesn't look like an offensive lineman. Probably,

0:45:12.120 --> 0:45:14.680
<v Speaker 1>what do you think he weighed back in what nineteen

0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:18.520
<v Speaker 1>sixty sixty one sixty two, what about Jimmy Johnson saying

0:45:18.680 --> 0:45:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy two, both of them, Yeah, they might have been

0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:28.720
<v Speaker 1>two twenty. I don't know. I doubt it. I doubt Yeah.

0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I went back and looked at it. A roster like

0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:33.960
<v Speaker 1>an Orange Bowl roster from an OU team from nineteen

0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:36.759
<v Speaker 1>fifty six, and the lineman the biggest guys on the

0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:40.640
<v Speaker 1>team were like two hundred and ten pounds. Yeah, it's crazy.

0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:44.920
<v Speaker 1>All right. I think we've about done it here already.

0:45:45.200 --> 0:45:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm inspired by these stories of overcoming that Everson Walls

0:45:50.040 --> 0:45:53.880
<v Speaker 1>has brought us today, and Jerry Jones on the right, Jos,

0:45:53.960 --> 0:46:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday, j j and and being on time trying

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:04.000
<v Speaker 1>let's go out out and buy US, an NFL team

0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:06.920
<v Speaker 1>or something. I feel good. Let's go bet on a

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:10.319
<v Speaker 1>horse race. There you go, all right, and we will

0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:14.240
<v Speaker 1>see you again tomorrow at one thirty for another edition

0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of Mix Shops, Go Cowboys. This has been a production

0:46:19.680 --> 0:46:23.399
<v Speaker 1>of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
