Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick Shots,
Speaker 1: streaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys app now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola and it is time for a fabulous
Speaker 1: Football Friday edition of Mick Shots as we are two
Speaker 1: days away from Cowboys and Seahawks, which is one of
Speaker 1: the marquee matchups in the NFL this weekend as the
Speaker 1: Cowboys trying to get to two and one on the
Speaker 1: season against the Seahawk team that is two and oh.
Speaker 1: This is Mick Shots and Mickey Spagnola is inside the
Speaker 1: SWBC Mortgage studios at Ford Center at the Star are
Speaker 1: in Frisco. Everson Walls should be along shortly, but Mickey,
Speaker 1: this is, in my opinion, the best sports weekend of
Speaker 1: the year. We've got college football kicking off, We've got
Speaker 1: even high school football here in Texas kicking off. We've
Speaker 1: got all four the major sports playing this weekend. We're
Speaker 1: finally coming out of it. Okay, it's the best sports
Speaker 1: weekend of the year. Fails kind of normal for a change,
Speaker 1: doesn't it? Even though we'll be covering the game from afar, right,
Speaker 1: but yeah, absolutely, there's all kinds of things on TV tonight.
Speaker 1: High school football, the Stars are playing, the NFL was
Speaker 1: on last night. Yeah, just and then college football tomorrow,
Speaker 1: can't wait, and then the Cowboys. And you said it
Speaker 1: was the big game on Saturday Sunday, and it must
Speaker 1: be because we got Joy, Joe and Troy doing the game, right,
Speaker 1: so Nashville broadcastst indication right there. Yeah, that's right, it's
Speaker 1: the A game. And we do have Everson Walls here
Speaker 1: is he's getting all miked up for us. I hate,
Speaker 1: I hate my Mico. It's it's a good thing. It's
Speaker 1: a good thing. He wasn't going into Joe Avazonos special
Speaker 1: teams meetings in the morning. But when you're supposed to
Speaker 1: be either ten minutes early or you get fine because
Speaker 1: you were late, Bicky, are you taking Everson the kangaroo
Speaker 1: court here? I am taking him apart. Absolutely. Tom Langry
Speaker 1: was worse. Tom Landry was worse than everybody. If you
Speaker 1: came in at eight, If you came in at nine o'clock,
Speaker 1: one second that second clock was working. When it hits twelve,
Speaker 1: your entire body had better be across that line like
Speaker 1: a quarterback trying not to cross the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: before he passes a ball. That was the rule. That's
Speaker 1: the way it went. I gave up a lot of
Speaker 1: money to Coast Lancer, So tell me, eversonce, how big
Speaker 1: were the fines back then? Two hundred bucks for being late?
Speaker 1: I recall if you, if you held out of training
Speaker 1: camp a thousand dollars a day, which I did a
Speaker 1: couple of times. So that's why I know so much
Speaker 1: about that one. But yeah, yeah, we had our moments,
Speaker 1: and so I contributed a lot to the different charities
Speaker 1: that the NFL has to offer. And so you're welcome,
Speaker 1: but any but I'm sure with a big time player
Speaker 1: like you, they waved those fines. Once you showed up,
Speaker 1: they waved the fine. In nineteen eighty six, they waved
Speaker 1: the fine. I thought, although you media guys with my friends,
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna shake my hand when I
Speaker 1: showed up the training camp, all you guys did was
Speaker 1: put the cameras up like hey, ever since here, like man,
Speaker 1: what happened to all my friends? All business? After that?
Speaker 1: That mean you're a big time hey if you got
Speaker 1: the cameras on Now Your Big Time. They foal in
Speaker 1: like I was Sugar, Ray Leonard or somebody. That's right,
Speaker 1: all right, Mickey, what's news? What's news there at the
Speaker 1: Star this afternoon? Well, this is the regeneration day, right,
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys don't practice on Friday. This is the
Speaker 1: what we're normally used to as being Saturday. So they'll
Speaker 1: have their little walkthrough later in the afternoon and when
Speaker 1: we get the injury report, it will be a projection.
Speaker 1: But from what I can tell so far from an
Speaker 1: injury standpoint, um, you know, it hadn't changed all that
Speaker 1: much from yesterday with the guys that didn't practice. But
Speaker 1: the guy that did practice was Trayvon dig So he
Speaker 1: went from not practicing on Wednesday to fully practicing on Thursday,
Speaker 1: but still not practicing. Was a woozier Lawrence and uh
Speaker 1: Tyrne Smith. And that's DeMarcus Lawrence, not Tank. Okay. When
Speaker 1: when the Fan had Mike McCarthy on this morning for
Speaker 1: his Morning UH segment on Friday, Uh, they asked him,
Speaker 1: so house Tank, what did he do? And Mike goes, Tank,
Speaker 1: Who's Tank? I I don't I don't think I know
Speaker 1: any Tank. That's so who asked the question, Well, one
Speaker 1: of the guys on the fan, and so they said, well,
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, he goes, oh is he Tank? He goes,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I wasn't aware of that, and uh, and
Speaker 1: so it digressed. This is pretty funny. So it digressed
Speaker 1: into well did you have nicknames growing up or whatever?
Speaker 1: And McCarthy's like, nah, I don't think we're gonna go there.
Speaker 1: We'll just continue on here, right, So when when Jerry,
Speaker 1: when Jerry did his segment, like two hours or three
Speaker 1: hours later, Uh, the next show asked Jerry if he
Speaker 1: ever had any any nickname and he said, he said,
Speaker 1: You've heard me called every damn thing there is in
Speaker 1: the dictionary. So I'd be hard pressed to be imaginative
Speaker 1: enough to go from there, but I'll answer to anything
Speaker 1: y'all call me. So anyway, tank he said, he said Tank.
Speaker 1: He said he practiced fully. Now they put him down
Speaker 1: as DNP, But what he was supposed to do was
Speaker 1: work with the rehab guys, and he must have done
Speaker 1: it indoors, because we didn't see him outside doing anything.
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith did work with the rehab guys outside, as
Speaker 1: did a Woozier, but it doesn't look like a Woozier's
Speaker 1: gonna make it. And as Jerry and Mike both said,
Speaker 1: when it came to Lawrence and Tyrn Smith, it would
Speaker 1: probably be a game day decision, although there still seems
Speaker 1: to be optimism that Tyron and uh could make it back.
Speaker 1: And then we'll see about Lawrence with the with the hamstring,
Speaker 1: uh or the knee strain that that he's suffered in
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah. So from a from an injury standpoint, Uh,
Speaker 1: that's where the Cowboys are. Seattle, Uh not much better. Uh.
Speaker 1: Their left offensive tackle Dwayne Brown's got a knee and
Speaker 1: a foot and he still did not practice, So he
Speaker 1: hadn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. Uh. Neither did defensive end
Speaker 1: Rashim Green, and it looks like he's out indefinitely with
Speaker 1: the pinched nerve. Benson Mayowa groin did not practice again,
Speaker 1: so I would imagine his status is kind of if
Speaker 1: he we knew. They put Bruce Irvin on injured reserve. Uh.
Speaker 1: They also put the cornerback on on ir Marquise Blair.
Speaker 1: He's their their nickel guy. And I got something interesting,
Speaker 1: uh to point out about that and the only guy
Speaker 1: that didn't practice the day before that got back in
Speaker 1: uh on a limited basis was Drown Green, I mean
Speaker 1: dron Read their defensive tackle and Quentin Dunbar uh was
Speaker 1: back in practice on on Thursday. So uh yeah, they
Speaker 1: they've got some problems, especially on that defensive line. The
Speaker 1: only guy uh that was considered a starter that is
Speaker 1: actually uh not on the injury list is is Poona Ford. Uh.
Speaker 1: So interesting both teams having some problems on their defensive
Speaker 1: line and in the secondary. He ever said, who's your
Speaker 1: friend there? This is Bunny, my daughter's dog, buh in
Speaker 1: I so I think she's sawty. I mean that's how
Speaker 1: I spelled it. O. Hey, she's she's she's some money.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm accustomed to. She's a much better manner
Speaker 1: than my beagle. Including that. I want to show you Bill,
Speaker 1: this is how a dog it's supposed to add. Okay,
Speaker 1: just be loving and obedient and quiet. Yeah all right, nickey.
Speaker 1: You said he had a story on Marquis Blair. Well
Speaker 1: he'l Sunday night. Yeah he's there. He's their nickel guy,
Speaker 1: and uh they've given up. I saw this in the
Speaker 1: Seattle Times. Um they said that the slot receivers against
Speaker 1: Seattle have caught enough passes for two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: four yards in two games. So I might as well
Speaker 1: tell you what my pick to click is going to
Speaker 1: be right now. Uh, if they've got to have a
Speaker 1: guy named Ugo Amandi covering Ceedee Lamb who basically plays
Speaker 1: out of the slot all the time, and I don't
Speaker 1: think this guy got much experience whatsoever, if I if
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, and I was gonna look it up
Speaker 1: real fast here to see me. I got it for you.
Speaker 1: I got it for you. He was a fourth round
Speaker 1: draft pick google Amani. He played forty seven snaps last
Speaker 1: week against New England. But he was a draft pick
Speaker 1: last year in the fourth round, and last year he
Speaker 1: had seventeen tackles one fumble recovery in sixteen games played.
Speaker 1: So he's basically a special teams player last year. And
Speaker 1: so you think he was the guy covering Julian Edelman
Speaker 1: last week who caught eight passes one hundreds, or did
Speaker 1: Clayborne Everson watched having a great game? Was Jamal Adams
Speaker 1: that was getting toasted? That's what I saw. Abelman caught
Speaker 1: most of his passes on Jamal Adams. They had Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams trying to cover Edelman. Yes they did, sir, Yes
Speaker 1: they did. All the big plays that they had on
Speaker 1: passing to Edelman down the middle of the field. Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams was right there. Now, he brought some he brought
Speaker 1: pain with him. But by that time the past was
Speaker 1: already received and Edelman was already getting his output. So
Speaker 1: I have a the Cowboys to kind of make that
Speaker 1: same well attack. But but I understand this about Seattle
Speaker 1: last week. They lost Kondred Diggs early in the game,
Speaker 1: and the makes of adjustments as far as that's right
Speaker 1: out of Texas who has fit in very well there.
Speaker 1: Diggs was with the Lions and was traded to Seattle
Speaker 1: midseason last year and fit in right alongside. You know.
Speaker 1: He came out of Texas as a corner and made
Speaker 1: the transition to safety, so he would probably have more
Speaker 1: skills to cover in Edelman type. And I think they
Speaker 1: had to make that adjustment last week. And so I
Speaker 1: do love Edelman. He is a soldier. He and Cam
Speaker 1: Newton have already hooked up real well. But I have
Speaker 1: to believe that Ceedee Lamb might have a little bit
Speaker 1: more athleticism and let's just see how that matchup goes.
Speaker 1: But so if that's gonna be your pick to click,
Speaker 1: mister Spagnola, then I might call that a little bit
Speaker 1: of cheating. You're allowed to double down. And by the way,
Speaker 1: since since we brought that up, I saw a story
Speaker 1: in Seattle interview with Jamal Adams and uh, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: all hot and bothered because he had relayed to him
Speaker 1: by friends and a brother that lived here in Dallas
Speaker 1: that he can't cover. And so he said he's entering
Speaker 1: the game with a chip on his shoulders because he's
Speaker 1: gonna show the Dallas Cowboys. You know what, Mickey, Yes,
Speaker 1: one's gonna send a clip of evers whatever. Since he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a boulder on his shoulder by Sunday afternoon. Well,
Speaker 1: let's let me say this, he can't get upset as
Speaker 1: he wants and be as determined as he wants. If
Speaker 1: you don't already know how to cover your your anger
Speaker 1: and you're his off, is not gonna make you a
Speaker 1: better cover man. So whatever he brings to the table
Speaker 1: right now, that's all he has. And I didn't see
Speaker 1: that being much at all in regards to coverage. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying much about when he was bringing it on
Speaker 1: the blitzes, because he brought it on the blitzes well,
Speaker 1: and we saw, you know, he was a primary reason.
Speaker 1: Now we talk about what happened with the Cowboys in
Speaker 1: the Jets last year, but the Cowboys are not able
Speaker 1: to do much offensively against the Jets last year. Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams made a lot of plays in that game that
Speaker 1: prevented that. Jamal's thing. I gotta tell you a quick story,
Speaker 1: quick story. My best friend Mike, he had a nephew. Uh,
Speaker 1: this was years ago when Jamal was just a kid
Speaker 1: and they were both playing in the same little Peewee
Speaker 1: league football league, and Jamal Addams was hitting people so hard.
Speaker 1: Parents were taking their kids off the field. They're like,
Speaker 1: we are not gonna let this kid hit my kid.
Speaker 1: He was a man amongst boys, and I must say
Speaker 1: he kind of still is. Yeah, I mean, very instinctive
Speaker 1: in the in the run game, and you know he's
Speaker 1: got a couple of sacks already this season. Very instinctive
Speaker 1: as far as timing that safety blitz as well. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, when the Cowboys come to the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: obviously they identify the way that middle linebacker is Bobby Wagner.
Speaker 1: But they also have to identify where's thirty three? Right? Yes,
Speaker 1: and I wonder who's been wearing thirty three in practice
Speaker 1: this week by the league. By the way, that was
Speaker 1: my That was my number in junior high basketball. Who
Speaker 1: didn't want thirty three in basketball? I was number thirty three? Alright? Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: k oh no, here we go on check. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have come up to Kareem's waste back then. There it
Speaker 1: is thirty three, the high school number. Thirty three, of course,
Speaker 1: three of Kareem ab I mean, that's why I wore it.
Speaker 1: I requested that number, just because of my favorite basketball
Speaker 1: player in the history, Kareem abdul Jabar. All right, And
Speaker 1: on that note, in honor of number thirty three Jamal Adams,
Speaker 1: who is poised to have a boulder on his shoulder
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon against the Cowboys, let's take our first
Speaker 1: break here on mix shots, and we'll see what shots

Speaker 1: kitnasn Jalen Kitten, a quarterbacking Burlison High School against Burlison's
Speaker 1: Centennial High School. They lost the game thirty eight thirty four.
Speaker 1: But kittnas Son is the real deal. He's six to four.
Speaker 1: He's committed to the University of Florida. We showed a
Speaker 1: highlight on CBS eleven of Jalen Kitten throwing a touchdown pass.
Speaker 1: But anyway, there's a little cowboy tie in and they've
Speaker 1: got football games going on at at and T Stadium
Speaker 1: this weekend as well as at Global Life Park. The
Speaker 1: formerhol of the Rangers, as Everson As we were talking
Speaker 1: off the top of the show before you joined us.
Speaker 1: In my opinion and when I don't think it's any
Speaker 1: question that this is the best sports weekend of the
Speaker 1: year so far. We've got college football almost all the
Speaker 1: way back, with the SEC playing this weekend in the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve as well. I mean even the Pac twelve
Speaker 1: has decided they're gonna go ahead and playing football this fall.
Speaker 1: Everybody's coming back, doctor fauci or do you approve of this?
Speaker 1: I approve of it. But unfortunately for the collared students,
Speaker 1: they are going to be at the mercy of their
Speaker 1: fellow collared students on campus. By the way, because I
Speaker 1: think when you're eighteen and twenty years old, you're probably
Speaker 1: not listening to any of this health stuff because you
Speaker 1: are bulletproof, like we all were, right with a key
Speaker 1: on it. Of course, making the key on it at
Speaker 1: the NFL level is testing. Yes, in the NFL, testing
Speaker 1: not only players but at all personnel that are around
Speaker 1: players multiple times a week, and they're trying to do
Speaker 1: that as much as they can. I know in the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve they're tested I think three times a week.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so that's how they're but they're still there's
Speaker 1: going to be cancelations as we go along, but it's
Speaker 1: great to get it back. Could you could you believe
Speaker 1: the NFL the NFL and the NFLPA put out the
Speaker 1: stats this week or for last week, and they tested
Speaker 1: all the players every day and it was thousands and
Speaker 1: thousands of tests and no player tested positive. It's just
Speaker 1: rather remarkable. Five five personnel, five personnel members from the
Speaker 1: team's tested positive. But that was it. So yeah, rather remarkable. Also, guys,
Speaker 1: I want to let you know that, uh, there was
Speaker 1: a big development in the South the Western Athletic Conference.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we talked. I'm pretty sure we
Speaker 1: haven't talked about this man, but Darn Sanders has graced
Speaker 1: the HBCU arena with his presence. And boy, he came
Speaker 1: in strong. Boy he came in like he was Jalen
Speaker 1: Ramsey going into training camp. He I almost thought he
Speaker 1: was gonna come in with a Brinks truck himself, but
Speaker 1: Jackson State didn't have any money, so he couldn't do that.
Speaker 1: All I can say is the swack is gonna be
Speaker 1: hot this spring, and I'm gonna be down there trying
Speaker 1: to catch a couple of games. You guys should come
Speaker 1: with me. We'll have a man, we'll have a mask
Speaker 1: on and will to watch Darn and see what kind
Speaker 1: of team he's gonna have and when they play Grambling,
Speaker 1: I will be there because Grammling is gonna tap that behind.
Speaker 1: You know that? Is that a home game for Grambling?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that spring schedule. It's
Speaker 1: a spring schedule. So I just took a glance at it.
Speaker 1: I was as glad that they had something in store. Well,
Speaker 1: as I told, as I told my friends and Jackson
Speaker 1: still I said, better get your popcorn ready, get your popcorn. Man,
Speaker 1: just keep the camera on the sidelines. Forget the game,
Speaker 1: cross the sidelines. Speaking of sons of former Cowboys players,
Speaker 1: the first order of business for Dion is to recruit
Speaker 1: his son to play quarterback for him at Jackson State,
Speaker 1: because he's a he's a pretty good quarterback. I think him.
Speaker 1: I think he hadn't committed. I didn't. He didn't commit
Speaker 1: to Florida Atlantic. Yeah. Yeah, so Dion needs to work
Speaker 1: on him to get into Jackson State. So Bill, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize this, But I didn't realize Jamal Adams
Speaker 1: was the former Giants running back George Adams' son. Yes,
Speaker 1: of course, yes, you played. You must have played against
Speaker 1: you must have played against him, right, Yeah, I did,
Speaker 1: and he was a great He's a great guy, just
Speaker 1: one of the funny guys, kind of remind you of
Speaker 1: Ron Springs at big Mouth and and everything he said
Speaker 1: was funny. But he ended up moving down here after
Speaker 1: he retired because he kept getting injured with the Giants.
Speaker 1: So somehow he ended up moving to Dallas when he retired,
Speaker 1: and that's how Jamal ended up putting U the young
Speaker 1: Pebe League players on stretches. So I finally found a
Speaker 1: quote from Jamal Adams when they were asking when he
Speaker 1: found out about the uh that he the people in
Speaker 1: Dallas were saying he can't cover. He said, what goes
Speaker 1: on in Dallas always comes back to me. So so
Speaker 1: maybe Papa George is listening to us right now. Papa's
Speaker 1: on it. Papa is on it. But don't you know
Speaker 1: that with him, he's he's going to be motivated to
Speaker 1: play this game, regardless of what noise he's hearing from
Speaker 1: friends back here in Dallas, because it's his hometown team
Speaker 1: he's going up against, and and he off team. He
Speaker 1: always wanted to play for the Cowboys. He was like,
Speaker 1: he was just like Thomas. He was campaigning to come here.
Speaker 1: I'm sure He's happy way he landed, but no, this
Speaker 1: would have been his first choice, I think. But I
Speaker 1: think with his personality, I think he fits in perfectly
Speaker 1: with the Pete Carroll's team and he's I think he's
Speaker 1: making a huge impact probably in their locker room as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, though, Let's flip it over
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys secondary and how they handle one guy
Speaker 1: in particular on Seattle's offense, and that would be Dk metcalf. Okay,
Speaker 1: Dk Metcalfe is starting to really emerge as a player
Speaker 1: in this league, and he came in the with all
Speaker 1: the athleticism, strength, size that you would ever want. And
Speaker 1: I think he's a big reason why Russell Wilson has
Speaker 1: gotten off to the hot start this year. I mean,
Speaker 1: opponents have to figure year out what they're gonna do
Speaker 1: with Dk metcalf Let me just throw out when Dk
Speaker 1: metcalf at the combine, this shows what kind of an
Speaker 1: athlete we're talking about here, all right? At the combine
Speaker 1: six three and a half two hundred and twenty eight pounds.
Speaker 1: He's probably a little bigger than that now. He has
Speaker 1: thirty five inch arms and had twenty seven bench reps
Speaker 1: with thirty five inch arms, twenty seven bench reps of
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty five pounds. He ran a four
Speaker 1: three three okay with a one four five ten yards split,
Speaker 1: which is incredible for a guy that size, especially with
Speaker 1: a forty and a half inch vertical and eleven two
Speaker 1: broad jump. That's what kind of an athlete that somebody
Speaker 1: or multiple people in the Cowboys secondary you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to deal with on Sunday. Let me let me ask
Speaker 1: you this. Did he break all the Byron Jones or records? No,
Speaker 1: but Byron Jones had a twelve foot broad jump. Wow?
Speaker 1: So he Well, maybe the Cowboys can instead of letting
Speaker 1: him run, let him just broad jump. You know, he's
Speaker 1: averaging he's averaging twenty three point four yards a catch,
Speaker 1: twenty three point four Think about that. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what that says to me? You know what that says
Speaker 1: to me? Double team and zone, That's what that says
Speaker 1: to me. Especially when you look at our secondary with
Speaker 1: the injuries that we're dealing with, we're a little short handed.
Speaker 1: Uh inexperience. Even though Brandon Carr is gonna play, he's
Speaker 1: still a little bit inexperienced because he hadn't played corner
Speaker 1: in a while. World he doesn't get much playing time.
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis is about Spagnola's height, so I can't see
Speaker 1: him doing much at all against him. I see double teams,
Speaker 1: I see zones, I see game planning. That's the only
Speaker 1: way you're gonna keep this guy from being successful. And
Speaker 1: then let's just remember Lockett is on the other side,
Speaker 1: who is even more dynamic, because to me, I think
Speaker 1: he's more diverse and everything that he can do, including
Speaker 1: party times. Okay, so here's how they here's how they
Speaker 1: double team him. This is what they should do. So
Speaker 1: when he gets to the line of scrimmage, you put
Speaker 1: don Terry Poe in front of him so he'll have
Speaker 1: a long time to get around the first guy. And
Speaker 1: then you just put another guy behind him, you know,
Speaker 1: sort of like Walt Garrison's in line trailer for his horses,
Speaker 1: and you just put the second guy right behind him.
Speaker 1: Then you pick him up once he gets around Poe.
Speaker 1: What do you think, I think you should stand one
Speaker 1: player on top of the other's shoulders at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Put Jordan, put Joan Lewis on top of
Speaker 1: somebody's shoulders. And that's how you're gonna guard him with
Speaker 1: a trench coat. Along those lines, though, Mickey, they are
Speaker 1: running the football and see Attle again with Chris Carson
Speaker 1: and Carlos Side and Russell Wilson obviously has the run
Speaker 1: threat as well, So I Cowboys defense is going to
Speaker 1: have their hands full, all right. How concerned are you
Speaker 1: about it? Is? One of the narratives this week is
Speaker 1: the Cowboys pass rush. I'm very concerned. I'm very concerned
Speaker 1: because that's got that's gonna be determining who wins this game.
Speaker 1: You know, Seattle, with the guys that they're gonna looks
Speaker 1: like have missing. Can they get to Dak Prescott, even
Speaker 1: though the Cowboys could have their two guys that have
Speaker 1: only started two NFL games each at offensive tackle, or
Speaker 1: can the Cowboys put pressure on Wilson to bail out
Speaker 1: the Cowboys secondary? And I just think that's gonna be
Speaker 1: whichever line does the better job might determine just where
Speaker 1: this game is going, because you know, they haven't been
Speaker 1: all that great. They've got three sacks in two games,
Speaker 1: two of those our Jamal Adams, the Cowboys have one two.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got three sacks two to Jamal and
Speaker 1: then Cowboys have two sacks, one to Alden Smith and
Speaker 1: one for Everson Griffin, so neither team has been putting
Speaker 1: any amount of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel better if I knew that DeMarcus Lawrence was gonna play.
Speaker 1: But again, you know, at least you got Alden Smith
Speaker 1: and Everson Griffin, as you know, potential tough guys to block.
Speaker 1: And now they got to get some movement inside. They
Speaker 1: got to get a little pressure from inside, and that
Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet. Maybe you know, Crawford can do a
Speaker 1: better job inside and get some pressure there because they're
Speaker 1: getting none from don Terry Poe. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: he's got like six tackles, only one of them is
Speaker 1: a solo tackle, and he's yearrolled out across the board,
Speaker 1: so he's almost not been a factor out there. Antoine
Speaker 1: Woods is starting to sneal snaps from him, so they
Speaker 1: need something inside to help the guys from the outside.
Speaker 1: And Everson Griffin says, you know what, the standing up stuff,
Speaker 1: I'm putting my hand on the ground. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: used to doing rushing from a three point stance, And
Speaker 1: so we'll see if that makes us somewhat of a difference.
Speaker 1: But they've got to get pressure on Russell Wilson, and
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna go the other way with that Spags.
Speaker 1: Of course they need pressure, But if I was going
Speaker 1: to prioritize, the Cowboys always get in trouble defensively because
Speaker 1: they can't stop the run, and that always leads to
Speaker 1: a short third down situation. As far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 1: I think the run should be a priority in this
Speaker 1: ball game. I think our linebackers are going to have
Speaker 1: to participate. You're talking about an early pick to click.
Speaker 1: My early pick to click is Joe Thomas. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: and after what I saw last week, that he will
Speaker 1: come in and show the good instinct that he should show.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping Mike Nolan can call more run blitzes and
Speaker 1: so that, you know, we can change it up and hopefully.
Speaker 1: I think the players have been from a linebacker position,
Speaker 1: they've been complaining about the complication of the Cowboys defensive
Speaker 1: game plan. Jayalen Smith spoke about it and said that
Speaker 1: he would hope that they could simplify it a little bit.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck they're doing but if
Speaker 1: the game plan is the problem for the running game defensively,
Speaker 1: then I hope they do change it. But from what
Speaker 1: I saw, I just saw an offensive line that was
Speaker 1: getting off faster than the Cowboys defensive line, which ended
Speaker 1: up putting a defensive lineman and the linebacker's laps. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Joe Thomas changing that narrative. Hopefully
Speaker 1: that can happen with the change in the game plan,
Speaker 1: and Victor on periscope he just says stop the run.
Speaker 1: He echoes what you're saying. The other part of it
Speaker 1: is when you look at the first two games, we
Speaker 1: remember what the Rams did with that short, quick passing game.
Speaker 1: They were getting rid of the football so quick you
Speaker 1: weren't going to get sacks against that offensive scheme that
Speaker 1: they were running. And then last week, when you fall
Speaker 1: behind twenty to nothing, you're not pinning your ears back
Speaker 1: to sack or quarterback because Atlanta had the opportunity, since
Speaker 1: they were playing with a double digit lead throughout much
Speaker 1: of that game, that they didn't have to throw the
Speaker 1: football and so you had to play the run. And
Speaker 1: so I think one of the keys to establishing the
Speaker 1: pass rush this week is how about getting a lead
Speaker 1: in this game. And you know, if you can get
Speaker 1: the lead where they have to play from behind, then
Speaker 1: you can pin your ears back. All right, We got
Speaker 1: our picks to click, giving you a little sneak preview.
Speaker 1: But who's going to win this game on Sunday against
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. All that and more when we come
Speaker 1: back on mix shots. Hey, they're Cowboys fans with Type

Speaker 1: well you have to bring me a bike. Hey, by
Speaker 1: the way, there's a bill I had one note for you.
Speaker 1: By the way. Uh, there there's another Seattle defensive back
Speaker 1: with a chip on his shoulder, Shaquille Griffin. Uh. In
Speaker 1: that twenty eighteen season playoff game the Cowboys beat Seattle
Speaker 1: twenty four twenty two. Uh, the Cowboys targeted him thirteen times.
Speaker 1: They had eight catches for one hundred and eight yards.
Speaker 1: So he felt like he got picked on. And he's
Speaker 1: ready to get even two with those Cowboys. So he
Speaker 1: wants us to apologizing for noticing that he's the weak
Speaker 1: link of the secondary. Okay, well we'll sorry. See what
Speaker 1: can you do? Guy? What's sorry? And how many interceptions
Speaker 1: did Shaquille Griffin have last year for the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I would not know that, Bill zero options. He's working
Speaker 1: on that total this year too, all right, U, Cowboys
Speaker 1: inter be fired by Bill. Go ahead. Cowboys enter this
Speaker 1: weekend tied for first place in the NFC East with
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. And I'm just looking at the
Speaker 1: schedule this weekend and you get the Eagles at oh
Speaker 1: and two playing Cincinnati. They're hosting Cincinnati. All right? What
Speaker 1: I used to love about the Tom Landry Show. Frank
Speaker 1: Lieber did the Tom Landry Show back in the day
Speaker 1: and at the end of the show they'd have they
Speaker 1: go through all the games, and Landry would make his picks.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna go through all the games, but let's
Speaker 1: do the NFC East here. And I just used to
Speaker 1: love how, all right, here's an NFL head coach and
Speaker 1: he's actually going it's Tom Landry, for having's sake, he
Speaker 1: made Piscum no way pick some other games. Oh my amazing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. And I also loved the way, uh Landry
Speaker 1: would say, uh, Cincinnata, yea Cincinnata. So I just thought
Speaker 1: of that when I saw the Eagles and he would
Speaker 1: say he would say new York, New York. He wouldn't say, well, Bill,
Speaker 1: think about this. Back back then, him picking the games
Speaker 1: was pretty safe because there was not in the YouTube.
Speaker 1: There was no Twitter, so there was no way to
Speaker 1: find any tape of what he had to say. Probably
Speaker 1: back then material either. Yeah, and then it was always
Speaker 1: great at the end. They always saved the Cowboy game
Speaker 1: for last, and so Frank would would say, and uh,
Speaker 1: you got here, Well, Frank, I think I'll go with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys again. This way, he didn't pick the Bear,
Speaker 1: He didn't pick the Bears. Forty four to nothing. Oh, no, believe,
Speaker 1: but that show wasn't off when we were playing. It
Speaker 1: was done. It was done, all right. So Cincinnata is
Speaker 1: playing Philadelphia and the Eagles are oh and two. Can
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow go in there and win a game for
Speaker 1: the Bengals and make the eaglesz and three? No, judging
Speaker 1: from what I saw the Bengals, No, okay. And you
Speaker 1: got the Giants playing the beat up Niners. Of course,
Speaker 1: the Giants are beat up too, without se Quon Barkley
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. But the Niners lost
Speaker 1: half their team last week and they're playing for the
Speaker 1: second straight week on the road at the Meadowlands. I
Speaker 1: still I still go with the Niners. I still running
Speaker 1: back in New York. Yeah, I'm still going with the Niners.
Speaker 1: All right. So we got the Eagles at one and two,
Speaker 1: and we got the Giants now at oh and three.
Speaker 1: The Washington football team, the who the Washington Plata? I'm
Speaker 1: here a secondly? There they're playing at the Browns, which
Speaker 1: is a preview of next week's supponent for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Can the Washington football team go in there and beat
Speaker 1: the Browns at the Browns? And I would have said
Speaker 1: that after the first week that they could, but now
Speaker 1: I saw them last week. I was not impressed. Browns
Speaker 1: got better. The Browns have gotten better. So yes, I'm
Speaker 1: with Spags Browns. Okay, homes is gonna take care of
Speaker 1: his house. So we got the Eagles after this weekend,
Speaker 1: the Eagles that won into Baker Mayfield, Mayfield and the Giants,
Speaker 1: and the Giants at oh and three. All right, So
Speaker 1: that brings us to the Cowboys. Cowboys go into Seattle
Speaker 1: and can the Cowboys come away with a victory? And
Speaker 1: if they if they do come away with the victory,
Speaker 1: it appears, if our prognostications aren't correct, they would be
Speaker 1: all alone in first place of the NFC East. Did
Speaker 1: they do? So what do you think? Let's start with you, Everson.
Speaker 1: I'll they gave you my pick to click. So just
Speaker 1: getting that out of the way. Joe Thomas is going
Speaker 1: to have a monster game. I look forward to the
Speaker 1: Cowboys winning. I'm kind of like Tom Landry. I picked
Speaker 1: the Cowboys every week. Sorry. I look for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: to get a last minute drive again and the last
Speaker 1: second score. I think it's going to be a field
Speaker 1: goal that will give the Cowboys to win thirty to
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Though. Wow, so it's a win or else
Speaker 1: field goal? Okay, win or luds. That's right. Zerline gonna
Speaker 1: come through in the clutch again, Greg the leg. There
Speaker 1: you go, all right, And so Joe Thomas and Greg
Speaker 1: Zerline with a game winning field goal to beat the
Speaker 1: Seahawks thirty to twenty eight. All right. I just don't
Speaker 1: know if Cowboys can go in. I'm gonna say Mickey
Speaker 1: for last year since it's mix shots, you know. I
Speaker 1: do like the fact that I do think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: can take the twelves out of this game. I don't
Speaker 1: think the twelves are gonna be a factor. I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can handle that. Yeah. So that helps. That
Speaker 1: helps when you when the schedule comes out and you
Speaker 1: think that, okay, they have fans in the stands, then
Speaker 1: that's some huge home field advantage. Levels of playing field
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I think the Seahawks is gonna
Speaker 1: take this one even without the fans, even without twelve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think. I think, I think that it would be
Speaker 1: a close, high scoring game. And I'm looking at thirty
Speaker 1: four thirty one something like that for the Cowboys to
Speaker 1: pick to click for the Cowboys. Though, um, I'm going
Speaker 1: with Zeke. You know, I think that the Cowboys, even though,
Speaker 1: even though this is a Seattle team that has given
Speaker 1: up eight hundred and forty seven yards passing in the
Speaker 1: first two weeks of this season, I think Zeke is
Speaker 1: gonna have a big day against Seattle. This always does.
Speaker 1: If some of it will come in the some of
Speaker 1: it will come in the past game as well, So
Speaker 1: Seahawks thirty one. But Zeke is a big game, all right. Nick.
Speaker 1: The last word is yours, and you stole one of
Speaker 1: my stats since they're giving up four hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: yards a game passing net yards passing so far. Also,
Speaker 1: I dug this little thing up. Seattle's trying to go
Speaker 1: three and oh for the first time since twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: so as we know, winning three straight in the NFL
Speaker 1: is not too easy. Also, looking at the Seattle Times,
Speaker 1: they're four writers all pick Seattle thirty five thirty one,
Speaker 1: forty ninety eight, thirty eight, twenty eight thirty five. Yes
Speaker 1: at thirty five thirty one, okay, And as one of
Speaker 1: them pointed out, there's no chance the Cowboys can contain
Speaker 1: the hottest quarterback on the planet Russell Wilson. So, having
Speaker 1: said that and known that all four writers now in
Speaker 1: if for three games they have gone twelve or twelve
Speaker 1: pick in Seattle, They're finally gonna be wrong, all right,
Speaker 1: and I am gonna take the Cowboys by the unstable
Speaker 1: score of thirty six thirty three. By the way, thirty
Speaker 1: six thirty six one thirty three. Oh, I thought you
Speaker 1: said thirty six to three, No, thirty three. Make sure
Speaker 1: you listen Field goals or or Everson missed two point
Speaker 1: conversions or two point conversions. Uh, both coaches are going
Speaker 1: to be playing with those two point conversions in this game.
Speaker 1: I have one one though. I think Russell Wilson is
Speaker 1: going to throw a pick two Diggs. He's got target
Speaker 1: tray Vron. I think tray Vonn is gonna get one.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much he's gonna get beat, but
Speaker 1: I know tray Vonn is gonna get one. Gut feeling
Speaker 1: to get one, all right, gonna get one. Mickey, who
Speaker 1: does Missouri play? Oh? They opened up at home, by
Speaker 1: the way against the Alabama Crimson tide. I was gonna
Speaker 1: say it doesn't matter, wouldn't they know it does? It
Speaker 1: does matter? Because when they when the SEC decided that
Speaker 1: they had to add two conference games to the team's schedule,
Speaker 1: and so they were going to add two from the
Speaker 1: other division, Missouri gets Alabama and LSU. Oh yeah, no
Speaker 1: way easy, No, that's good stuff. You know what the
Speaker 1: Big Ten did in Nebraska? No what you know Nebraska?
Speaker 1: Nebraska made all that noise after the Big Ye down
Speaker 1: their season, said well, we'll just go find some other
Speaker 1: people to play. We're gonna play anyway. And so then
Speaker 1: when they put their schedule back together, Nebraska will open
Speaker 1: at Ohio State and their other crossover game is Penn State.
Speaker 1: Why do rivals dahn? Unfortunately, they still don't understand Missouri's
Speaker 1: in the SEC. You know, wow, I need to come
Speaker 1: back home to the Big twelve. Mickey. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: that does it for mix shots and enjoy your sports weekend,
Speaker 1: the greatest sports weekend of the year. We'll see you
Speaker 1: next week. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
