WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Game Ready 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.160 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:17.040 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Nick shot 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.200 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.919 Dallas Cowboys apt Now here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:37.400 and Nicky Spagnola, And here we are. It's a fabulous 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:42.080 Friday edition of Mixed Shots. As we are, well, we 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:46.240 are forty eight hours away from halftime at AT and 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:52.120 T Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The media just can't get 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.760 enough of the fact that the Cowboys got flex down 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.920 on Sunday night football playing at noon on Sunday on 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.560 CBS eleven in Dallas Fort Worth. I'm am quick to add, 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.440 and this is Mick Shots. This is Bill Jones, this 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:11.600 is Everson Walls, this is Mickey Spagnola inside the SWBC 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.319 Mortgage studio, and this is must win time for your 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.679 Dallas Cowboys. Right, Mickey, we finally got to that point, 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.720 right we've been, They've been yelling at it, and it's 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.119 got a must win, a must win. Well now mathematically 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.000 it's a must win. You're exactly right. And I would 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.240 imagine since it's a Sunday noon game, we're not getting 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:37.680 Tony Romo doing the game? Are we? We probably aren't. 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:39.680 I need to figure out who is doing that game. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.000 It's in the notes, I'm sure. Oh wait, I can 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.160 tell you, babe, all right? Who is who has the 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:55.600 call on CBS Kevin Harlan and Trent Green with Kevin 0:01:55.760 --> 0:02:00.120 Harlan and Trent Green with Melanie Collins on the sideline. 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.200 And I would imagine Kevin Harland is very good friends 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.880 with Mike McCarthy. The Harland family very involved with that 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.320 Green Bay Packer outfit through the years, and so they 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.400 probably so maybe that will be something that will bode 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.120 well for Mike McCarthy, at least from a broadcasting standpoint. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.160 He's got the play by play guy on his side, 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.799 that's for sure. And I guess I should have said 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.320 Tony Romo does Tony? Does Tony Romo ever give us 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:35.040 a win? I can't recall, Well, did he do Atlanta? 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.840 Did what might have done? Minnesot he didn't do. No, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.600 Minnesota was probably a fin. No. Minnesota was near Jonathan 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:49.120 Vill mcgae loves so much Jefferson. He brought us a win, 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:54.519 Kenny Albert, Right, that's the reason you like, Vill brought 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.280 us a win? His voice reminds me of victory. That's 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.040 probably what it is. You know what that that it 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.239 me of, you know, being in Oklahoma grad My whole 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.440 family went to OU to school, and so when they 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.520 would play it like in the Orange Bowl, and the 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.960 game would typically be on NBC and Jim Simpson or 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.880 somebody would be calling the game with Paul McGuire or something, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.560 and OU would be doing a horrible at the game, 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.359 and I'd get phone calls from my sisters saying, these 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.119 announcers are horrible. No, if your team is horrible, that's 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:29.640 the reason the announcers are horrible. That's like blaming the 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.160 weather man for the weather. That's rights, like, like the 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.680 weather man actually makes the weather. Yeah, that's pretty pretty rich. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.160 That's what we had when I did Ranger games with 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.080 Tom gree We had a saying, our broadcast, we can 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.240 have an not that we ever would have an Emmy 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.560 Award winning broadcast, but we could. We could be operating 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.280 at the ultimate levels that we could possibly operate. But 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.080 if they're losing ten to one, it's a horrible broadcast. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.640 And so it has everything to do with the play 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.840 of the team on the field. So it's hard it's 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.160 at the salvage in competence in the in the commentator's boots, 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.120 exactly like blaming us. However, the team we didn't pick 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:12.040 him right right right there, that's right. They might start. 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.920 So over the course of the next forty five minutes, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.719 we'll tell you whether whether you're going to enjoy the 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.240 game on Sunday or not. One are the chances that 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:25.920 Cowboys fans will enjoy this game against the forty nine ers, Mickey, 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:33.000 I'm like, I'm like Charles Barkley. I guarantee, I guarantee 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.880 the Cowboys are gonna win this game. That's yeah. Are 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.680 they gonna Are they gonna enjoy? Kevin Harland and Trent 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.279 Green on the broadcast, Mickey, what do you think Kevin 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:46.960 Harland's good? Um No, I'm saying you dismissed my whole point. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.559 That is, I got it broadcasters where your team's playing. 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.239 He doesn't want to say it because then that goes 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.680 against his mantra of you know, they gotta win two 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.320 in a row. So he can't really commit right now. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.520 You know, maybe next week he can commit, or or 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.320 if I can, then you know what, I'll never Yet, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:12.159 we got a big problem you care after that, wait 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.320 till next year. And by the way, what I said, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.719 what I said, Melody Collins was the sideline reporter. She'll 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.960 be the lower section of the of the stands reporter 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.000 by the way, because they're not allowed on the field. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.200 There you go. And by the way, I have an 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.839 update on Tony Romo broadcasting Cowboys games. This from Justin 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:37.760 Ferrell on Twitter, and you can tweet us at spags 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.600 fifty two. Are you monitoring Twitter, Mickey h You mean 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.680 like right now? I am so good? Yeah, like right now. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.200 If you want to, if you want to communicate with this, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.240 go to at CBS eleven Bill Jones, because I'm looking 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.360 at your tweets and the mentions on tweet deck right now. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.400 All right, Romo called the Giants Cowboys game this year, 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:04.120 which we won but lost, and we won, we lost 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.440 because we lost DAK that game. They beat the Giant 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:12.719 with DAK. Then no, he means, because he's saying Romo 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.720 called the Giants game the Cowboy game this year, which 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:20.720 we won but lost, and we won when he did 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.599 the Chiefs game in twenty seventeen. All right, but but 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.920 he's saying we won the game, but we lost Dak, 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.320 so we really didn't win the game. So all right, 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:34.880 thank you very much, Justin Farrell, thank you, Justin so Nicky, 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.760 give us a practice report where you there. They're not 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.919 doing much. They're not doing much practice wise today. And 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.640 now it's a McCarthy Friday and the walk through day today, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.760 so we'll go off of what we saw yesterday and 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.760 what Mike had to say today. So when he was 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:57.000 asked about Trayvon Diggs, Donovan Wilson, and Anthony Brown, he 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:03.000 said he is optimistic that they all will play on Sunday. Uh, 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.800 and they should, and they already had participated in what 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.240 he calls a mock game, not a walkthrough, a mock 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:16.400 game already this morning, so he feels pretty good about that. Uh. 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:22.280 He was not quite as uh positive about Zeke playing 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.760 as Jerry Jones was when he was asked this morning 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.120 on his segment on the on the Fan if he 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:36.760 thought Zeke would play, and he said absolutely absolutely, and 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:41.600 uh said uh, and he said, but you know that's 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.200 Jerry doctor, Jerry Jones saying it. And he goes in, 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.320 it's not my he said, it's not my knee, it's 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.440 not my ankle, it's not my hamstring. But I think 0:07:53.480 --> 0:08:00.800 he'll play, so anyway, I thought, I know, but the calf. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.680 He mentioned everything else but the calf, and as Zeke, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.280 sometimes I think Jerry, Jerry didn't get the memo. Sometimes 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.600 Jerry just doesn't get the memo right. But as Zeke said, 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.080 you know, it was stiff on him first couple series 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.000 in this past game, and then it kind of worked 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.920 itself out. Since it's a bruise, it's not a tear 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:26.880 or a strain and so and then H McCarthy said 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.000 he thought Chitube Woozier was ready to go, so that 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:35.720 bodes well for the corners along with Donovan Wilson ready 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.040 to go. But I think there'll still be a question 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:44.240 mark on Xavier Woods, who missed practice yesterday with a 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.600 groin injury, a groin strain, and we'll see where that 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:53.360 one goes. He was less definitive on Woods. He said, 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.880 I think he'll be ready to go Sunday. We'll see 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.520 where he's in practice, what he does in practice tomorrow. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.480 So that's probably a game time decision. If Woods can't go, 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.840 Darien Thompson and then Donovan Wilson will be the safeties. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.439 And then it looks like they'll have their Yeah, he 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:16.360 was fully practiced yesterday, so that's good news there. And 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.080 then we'll see where they go at the cornerback position 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.280 if they have for one of the few times their 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:28.240 top four corners all dressed and ready to go. Deonte 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.560 Burton and Richard Robinson neither one has practiced all weeks, 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:39.600 so I would imagine they're down in this game. You know. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.960 I was we always kind of talking about some off 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:47.760 the wall things about this segment and when you look 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:53.960 at how teams are handling injuries this year versus all 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.440 other years. I was listening to a show and they 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:02.160 were talking about how things may change forever, never going 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.160 back to the way it was in regards to preparation. 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:10.760 Even in regards to the coverage of sports. What do 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.360 you think have you even thought about the spags the 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:20.320 changes that might be made, not just in practices and 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.880 how they prepare for the week now, how they prepare 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.760 for the year, what the offseason might look like, and 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:32.760 you know, a post vaccine, a post vaccinated world, what 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.000 do you think some changes are going to stay in place, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.880 even in regards to how you guys cover the squad. Yeah, 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.599 I don't know about covering, but I read where the 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:48.160 owners when they had their past meeting, when they put 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.480 off the final decision on the seventeenth game, which Jerry 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.360 thinks it's definitely gonna happen. It's just a matter of 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.240 when they announce it. And then how they handled the preseason. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.320 But I saw one thing they they were talking about 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:09.200 was maybe loosening the rules on injured reserve, like how 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.640 long you have to be out. I think they liked 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.280 the way it worked this year with guys being able 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.160 to go on IR but only for three weeks and 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.400 after that you were eligible to come back. And maybe 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.040 also and you know, they were going to expand the 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.440 practice squad I think from whatever it was last year 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.040 to twelve this year, and then they expanded into sixteen, 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.200 and I think they kind of liked that the fact 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.679 that that you could put more veteran guys on the 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.800 practice squad and then call guys up that stuff might change. 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.920 I think they liked the way that that has worked 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.079 this year. And I don't and I don't think they 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:53.120 saw much abuse of remember how you when you guys played, 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.800 It's like, Okay, we liked this guy, but we really 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.920 don't have room on the roster. We're gonna put them 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.360 on IR for four weeks and then assuming after four 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.720 weeks somebody else is gonna get hurt, and then we 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.600 can bring them back. And so they started stashing guys 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.079 when they weren't even hurt. But I think they liked 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.800 the way it worked this year, So I think, um, 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.480 it's about I think we might see you were loopholes. Yeah, 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.640 you were loopholes. Yeah, and so but it really and 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.800 the game day roster too, Bill too on how you 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.079 can call a guy up on Saturday and then put 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.680 them back down on Monday off the fifty three man 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.880 roster or fifty five. I think they liked the way 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:40.920 that worked. Yeah, scheduling preseason versus the number of games. Also, 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.680 are they going to change the number I'll continue to 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.959 deal with? Change the number of teams that make the playoffs. Well, 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.240 they had already been talking about expanding that, right, and 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.080 they just expanded it more. So I think that will 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.520 go forward. I think they'll like that. I think the offseason, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.520 I think everybody realized this was a big miss this year, 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.839 not having an off season. Uh, and we can go 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.360 to you know what you said about the injuries and 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.040 I think soft tissue injuries, uh certainly are affected by 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.400 not having the off season they're normally having. I think 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:22.360 they realize now maybe more than they need that, yes, absolutely, 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:27.920 and then camps. Yeah, and then and then you know, 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.880 maybe three preseason games, but knowing you need uh, you know, 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:37.280 the preseason games, you need the longer training camp like 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.760 they used to have. I think they'll go back to that. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.000 And this is assuming we're all in the clearer and 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.679 safe right that they don't have to clean keep the 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.200 distancing going on once the vaccine is and that's what 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.960 I said post post vaccinated world. Yeah, they you know, 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.480 speculation is by the end of July, you know, everything 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.640 should be fine. And I'm like, whoa, just the time 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.400 for football season because of course that's you know, we're 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.400 worried about here. See. And then the other thing I 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.880 think is going to be interesting. And and Jerry was 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.880 asked the question, you know, could he would he mandate 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:16.160 that everybody on the team is vaccinated? And he oh, 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.280 he put up the stop sign on that, right, because 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.760 I mean, I mean, you just can't do that, right, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:27.120 you can suggest it and make it available. Uh. And 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.960 and then if you don't take advantage of it. It's 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.360 like the flu right, you don't have to have a 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.080 flu shot, it's made available to the team and then 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.760 you're on your own. If you know, something happens, do 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.560 you want to take that chance? So I don't know 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:48.240 if go ahead, I was gonna say, Tom Landry, would 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.080 you know, always with the veiled threats, sometimes not so veil. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.560 He said, Okay, you don't have to take a flu shot, 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.360 but if you don't take a flu shot and you 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.040 get sick and miss a game or practice, you will 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:06.960 be docked in your page accordingly. So that kind of like, 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.120 you know, it's like he I used to hate it 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.440 when he did that. We always were the most abused 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.120 team in regards to time off in training camp. And 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.560 there are certain rules that are set in place by 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.120 the union and the League Office that we all agreed to. 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.160 So Tom Landry will never adhere to that. It was 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.360 I'm Tom Landry. I'm gonna, you know, do what I 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:34.560 want with my team. And so one time somebody dropped 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.360 a dime on him. They called the union, called the 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.640 league office. So he comes in up there and he's 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.840 upset and so he goes, okay, guys, the league office 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.480 called and said I have to give you guys time off. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.760 But then he goes, if one of you guys is 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:54.760 one second late for curfew, you know we're gonna run forever. Okay, 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.080 thanks Tom. You know now we're out, haven't trying to 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.240 have a good time in La or wherever we are, 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.080 and and everyone's watching the watch like, okay, guys, you 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.040 know we had curfew was a new at midnight, and 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.960 so everybody's in the room by ten thirty just to 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:14.160 make sure that we didn't have any unfortunate mishap. So yeah, 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.160 the coaches still like to do what they like to 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.320 do with their team, regardless of what the rules might be, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.960 sometimes especially if they can get away. All right, we 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.600 need to take a break because I'm looking around me 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.800 and I have an unfortunate mishap here in my office 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:35.880 because my beagle Romo has a broken through the barricade 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.040 on the stairway and he has made his way into 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:43.520 my office. Where to go Romo is? He is by 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.640 himself today, And the reason I have to I've got 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.760 things in this room like candybars and stuff that dogs 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:59.960 cannot get to low lying areas. There's peanuts over there 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:04.879 there's candy corn over there from Halloween. There's stuff in 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.359 here that but dogs haven't been here for two months, 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.040 and the broken down the barricade and he's made his 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.719 way in here. Well, here's the issue that the read. Okay, 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.960 if you don't get done, Here's the issue that I 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.960 have today is that Romo's brother Bo had had surgery 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.640 this morning, and so Romo, for the first time in 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:30.000 his life, basically is by himself downstairs, and he got restless. 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.000 It's probably it's probably better that he broke the barricade 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.359 and came upstairs, because otherwise he would be breaking into 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.359 the Christmas presents under the tree downstairs. So it probably 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.320 better that this is happening. But let me go take 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.320 care of that and we'll be back with more mix 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.399 shots in a moment.

And I think, Bill, Yeah, it's amazing. 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:49.720 You know it's got one of I got one of 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:53.000 those baby gates that we put up so that the 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.360 baby or the dog get get up, come up the stairs, 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.240 and Romo is the one creature in the world who 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:04.119 can knock it down out and well getting better than 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:08.200 now he is. Yes, he's very athletic too. He really 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.880 is a very athletic. He's thirteen years old. We got 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.480 him Christmas thirteen years ago, two thousand and seven, which 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.680 was the end of Tony Romo's first year as a 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.720 starting quarterback, first full season as the Cowboys starting quarterback. 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:27.639 So he's he's he's living a good life. So the 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:34.080 other dog is named Quincy. Yeah, I actually I actually 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:38.120 wanted to name him TiO, and I got Boh hell no, 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:47.200 hell no, hell no. And uh so yeah, they named 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.400 him Bo. So it's Bo and Romo and Bo bohead 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:53.640 surgery today. We go pick him up at the vet 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.440 later today. He's doing all right coming out of surgery. 0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:01.920 Romo's having a harder time than bo is. Yeah, oh 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.719 so Bo. That's cool. Black Obama, that's cool. Wait there 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:08.320 we go. That was even that was that was a 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:12.120 precursor to Barack Obama. So that was it was actually 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:16.280 an omen that Obama would be elected the following year. 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.159 In fact, that would have been during the primaries and stuff. 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:23.360 So there, Yeah, that's when he made the speech, when 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.920 he made the speech during the National Convention. Yeah, there 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:30.080 you go. Yeah, that's right. All right, So where are 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.000 we now? I got one for you. Well now now 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:36.119 that Romos put up. So you know how we talked 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:41.919 about how we thought the pandemic the limited off season 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:47.320 contributed to injuries. We debated that. I was curious if 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:53.360 Everson thought maybe a shortened uh preseason or no preseason, 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:57.720 a shortened training camp, no offseason had anything to do 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:04.800 with the cowboys problems with turnovers in that first nine 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:09.600 games of the season when Zeke was fumbling that we've 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.520 never seen them fumble like that before. They were turning 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:17.840 the ball over left and right. I was just wondering 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:21.440 if you think maybe that affected your ability to take 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:27.119 care of the football. And you know, I do spags 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.960 and I think it's not just you know about Zeke fumbling, 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:35.600 and I think we can all agree on this. When 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:40.760 when a guy fumbles, it's never really just the guy 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:43.320 that you see in front of you that makes you fumble. 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:47.639 It's always the one that tackles you that you're prepared for, 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.760 and it's the hit that you are not prepared for. 0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:56.320 That usually jokes you. Case in point, we talked about 0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:03.000 Scholtz missing a block I think it was against Arizona, 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.480 and Zeke's running through there. The holder is wide open, 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.360 he's about to make a move, he's about to make 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:10.800 some steps and he's think he's gonna go Mentally, he's 0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:15.199 he's already ten yards ahead, and a guy comes unblocked 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:19.120 off of Sheltz and blast him and then there goes 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:23.760 the ball. That's because of the surprise. So the answer 0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:28.680 to that in regards to no training camp is you 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.840 have to be your timing has to be down, not 0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:36.040 just as an individual, but also as a team. And 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:38.800 because of the fact that we've got all these guys hurt, 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.200 offensive lineman hurt, you got a new tight end coming 0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.160 in the game with Schultz because Jarlon went down. So 0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:48.200 now you're looking at the timing is a little bit 0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:52.400 different when you have a whole different cast that that's 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:57.879 performing at that point. So long answer to your question is, 0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:00.840 no doubt about it. It has something to do with it. 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:06.600 Even with wide receivers quarterback combos. You know you gotta 0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:09.199 work on that. You have to work on that. You 0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.320 can't just come in two guys two different individuals and 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.800 just come in right away and you have your timing down. 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:21.399 That's something no matter what kind of jailing you have, no, no, 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.479 no matter what kind of connection you have with your 0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:28.160 wide receiver verse quarterback, that's something that has to be 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.399 worked on over and over and over. And we're just 0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:35.400 we're just talking about one receiver and one quarterback. Let's 0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:38.040 just not to mention when you're talking about the cast 0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:40.880 of people that have to get together and the timing 0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:44.840 has to be just right. So yeah, soft tissue or 0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:46.639 go ahead, go ahead. So I was gonna say so 0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:51.320 I did a little deeper dive into the Cowboys takeaway giveaways. 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:54.120 I can't remember if I pointed this out the other day. 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:59.160 The Cowboys have had twenty four turnovers. Twenty of those 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:02.280 were in the first nine games, four of them were 0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:06.480 in the last four games. But how about this on takeaways, 0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:11.000 the Cowboys have fourteen. They had seven in the first 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:15.600 nine games and now seven in the last four games. 0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:17.880
