Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Nick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. Go Dallas Cowboys. The senior the senior
Speaker 1: pros are older than the young pros. And here are
Speaker 1: bugle blow. That's a that's an honor of the great
Speaker 1: cow That's a course the Cowboys still honor time I
Speaker 1: got playing the bugle for trumpet for the national anthem.
Speaker 1: But do you know back in the day, that's what
Speaker 1: they used to call the Cowboys when they first took over. No,
Speaker 1: they called him that pro team because college football was
Speaker 1: so big. And I remember Frank Luxe to tell me
Speaker 1: when he was working at the Fort Worth Press Press right,
Speaker 1: uh press, he said, And he was kind of the
Speaker 1: young guy on the staff, and he said they came
Speaker 1: to me and said, uh yeah, we need somebody to
Speaker 1: cover that pro team. And it was almost like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're not good enough to do college right, You're gonna
Speaker 1: go do the ProTeam right. And that's what they called it.
Speaker 1: So and he volunteered. Yeah, he volunteered and so and
Speaker 1: he said, I had to make that long drive three
Speaker 1: times a week, right, because they had to go all
Speaker 1: the way from Fort Worth to Dallas. And so that
Speaker 1: is why Bob Lily became so popular and became mister
Speaker 1: Cowboy because he was on those that college team in
Speaker 1: Fort Worth TCU that everybody cared about in the fifties.
Speaker 1: And then he came to the Cowboys and that elevated.
Speaker 1: He put the pro team on the map. Now, well,
Speaker 1: maybe we need to start paying attention to this ProTeam
Speaker 1: because the great Bob Milly there was almost like, okay,
Speaker 1: you know, you're not covering college. It just might be
Speaker 1: a little bit better than high school. You know, when
Speaker 1: you think about some of the great players come to
Speaker 1: Bob Lilly, it's a bunch of them's just like Bob.
Speaker 1: Why weren't they ever for the Heisman? You know, back
Speaker 1: then they couldn't even they wouldn't even consider thinking not
Speaker 1: a defensive player. I mean, I'm sure he freaking dominated, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, so you would imagine they could have
Speaker 1: done this a long time ago. But he didn't go
Speaker 1: to thirteenth pick in the first round, remember wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there was only four there was there was only
Speaker 1: fourteen picks and he was thirteen. He was thirteen. Come on,
Speaker 1: now you're gonna look up that draft. Yeah. But that
Speaker 1: that that kind of you know, dispels what you just said,
Speaker 1: because obviously they didn't give it them bout to me
Speaker 1: with thirteen out of fourteen. Yeah, yeah, so maybe maybe
Speaker 1: the name recognition once he got the in the st
Speaker 1: Ball it was a local thing. Yeah, he's a Texan,
Speaker 1: you know that I get and they and they didn't
Speaker 1: have to fly him in. They saved money, sort of
Speaker 1: the Larry Brown of program. You know, Bob never got there.
Speaker 1: Well I guess he ended up getting read he deserved,
Speaker 1: but man, early on he just really here's a guy
Speaker 1: who did I was thinking about this this morning, and
Speaker 1: especially playing the Bears, and of course the Bears had Dick,
Speaker 1: Butkus was the premier middle linebacker Leroy Jordan never got
Speaker 1: I don't think at their respect he deserved um in
Speaker 1: his career, even with even the professional career. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah right. Uh And and it's a lot of them, Bill,
Speaker 1: and a lot of it for like for Leroy, I mean,
Speaker 1: how are you gonna make first team all pro if
Speaker 1: Dick buckis if you're if he's playing for the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 1: you know, and with his with your with your teammates themselves, right,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't even you know, Chuck Halley's going into
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. You know you got Chuck right, right?
Speaker 1: And uh, you know it took until Jerry bought the
Speaker 1: team for Leroy got into the Ring of Honor's right.
Speaker 1: You know, Joe, did you find it? Oh, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at home. I don't get well. You know, you can
Speaker 1: look at all those old middle linebackers right that there
Speaker 1: were some pretty good ones. Tommy Noble's not getting any love, right,
Speaker 1: But when you were when you're with the team, and
Speaker 1: I can say this for a fact, and I was
Speaker 1: proud of it. When you're with the team with so
Speaker 1: many stars, man, you better sit back and wait your turn.
Speaker 1: That's just all it is. Better just telling you I
Speaker 1: used to walk into places with Come on walking in
Speaker 1: place with Tony Dory, said Drew Pearson. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Come on? If I just started back, was
Speaker 1: it like who's that guy? Yeah? Yeah? And I loved it.
Speaker 1: I loved it because I had no pleasure on me
Speaker 1: they had to do all the things. I didn't have
Speaker 1: to do anything. And being a part of that two
Speaker 1: tall Jones, I mean, come on, Harvey Martin. Whoo who
Speaker 1: who was that little kid from from where? The way
Speaker 1: it is? Because I think Leroy was like the fifth
Speaker 1: pick in the draft out of Alabama. I mean, oh
Speaker 1: he was high. Yeah. All right, so you're asking about
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineteen sixty one draft. Okay, Bob Lily was
Speaker 1: the thirteenth pick. As Mickey said, there are two other
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of famers who played for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: who were drafted ahead of him in that nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: one draft. The number five overall pick, speaking of these,
Speaker 1: said Chicago Bears was no, no, no, that's sixty five
Speaker 1: played for the Cowboys. Just played for the Cowboys and
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears fifth pick in the draft Mike did
Speaker 1: out of pit okay. And then well Jimmy Johnson was
Speaker 1: the sixth pick, but that's a different john that's the
Speaker 1: cornerback he played at UCLA, all right. And then the
Speaker 1: twelfth pick right before Bob Lily at thirteen the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers played for the Cowboys. Oh, Smu, no Forest
Speaker 1: Greg No, No, that's a great guests, great guest, but
Speaker 1: cornerback her battle, her battle lego. There you go. So
Speaker 1: there's two of the players that were picked um one.
Speaker 1: Number one was Tommy Mason, half back from Tulane Rams, right,
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Oh that's right, who drafted him? Anyway? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And to relate it to Sunday, Darnell Mooney, the wide
Speaker 1: receiver for the Chicago Bears, went to Tulane. Okay, Nor
Speaker 1: Sneed was number two to Washington. Well how did Washington
Speaker 1: get the second and the third pick? Joe Rutgan is
Speaker 1: a tackle from Illinois. Then Marlin McKeever of the Rams,
Speaker 1: and then did Kin and Tom Mattie went seventh. He
Speaker 1: was a good name, all right, There you go. Billy
Speaker 1: Kilmer went eleventh to San Francisco ahead of Bob Lilly r.
Speaker 1: All right, so there you go. All right, And now
Speaker 1: is Zeke going to play Sunday? Yeah? Only if he
Speaker 1: practices Saturday, and he hasn't practiced Wednesday or Thursday. So
Speaker 1: we're that what you make? So are we going to
Speaker 1: get an email from the Cowboys or some light tweet
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys after practice on Saturday that informs us
Speaker 1: whether or not his game station. They'll probably do it
Speaker 1: after this show. Well normally on Friday. The game status
Speaker 1: if if, I mean it could be doubt if it's determined,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, so yeah, what will he be termed today?
Speaker 1: Questionable or doubtful? Well, oh, that's right. The projection is
Speaker 1: Friday and it will be did not practice right, and
Speaker 1: that projection would probably be doubtful. I think they would
Speaker 1: hold on to not out because I don't think you
Speaker 1: can list him is out and then Sunday he wants
Speaker 1: into McCarthy's office and go, I'm playing. I'm right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a reason. There's a reason that they do that
Speaker 1: on Friday, So they could probably do doubtful. I think, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so if they could do questionable too, and he's still
Speaker 1: right and uh so that would mean yes. If he doesn't,
Speaker 1: then Tony Pollard's the guy late Davis who, by the way,
Speaker 1: Chris just brought up his high school great high school stats, ridiculous,
Speaker 1: And then you might have to elevate a guy off
Speaker 1: the practice squad. I was gonna, I mean another guy Allison.
Speaker 1: Is that the guy's Quadri Allison Dree Allison who they
Speaker 1: picked up. He was a fifth round pick from Atlanta,
Speaker 1: six one thirty two pounds out of pit. You remember Amy,
Speaker 1: I remember you talking about him Everson a rookie when yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's been in the league, right, Yeah. And in
Speaker 1: fact with Atlanta last year he played in eight games,
Speaker 1: had twenty one carries one hundred and five yards. That's
Speaker 1: a pretty good average. Fact. Why why hadn't he been
Speaker 1: playing all year? Well, by the way, that would be
Speaker 1: twenty one more carries in the NFL than Malik Davis.
Speaker 1: That's true. And I also just looked this up because
Speaker 1: I was kind of in the middle of writing my
Speaker 1: column for today. The most carries Tony Pollard has had
Speaker 1: in a single game in his career has been fourteen.
Speaker 1: He did it twice, once in twenty nineteen and once
Speaker 1: last year against the Tens. So now to expect him
Speaker 1: to get I guess twenty wouldn't be out of the question.
Speaker 1: But what if you needed twenty five? You know, that
Speaker 1: might be going a little bit over the top. What
Speaker 1: if you need blitz protection. And that's another question you
Speaker 1: see not just from him, but from Malie Davis. So
Speaker 1: it's not just it's not that they don't want to
Speaker 1: do it, right, they don't know how to do it.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I said Malik Davis, I can't remember.
Speaker 1: I said he hadn't played yet. Yeah, I mean he
Speaker 1: has no NFL snaps yet, that's right, He's played on
Speaker 1: special teams. Yeah. So uh two games, the Philadelphia game
Speaker 1: in the Detroit game. I had fifteen special team snaps
Speaker 1: against Philly and sixteen against Detroit, but no carries. So
Speaker 1: when you look at the Bears defense, they are strong, right,
Speaker 1: they really are. They have a good defense because their
Speaker 1: offense is really put them in some bad situations. So
Speaker 1: they are going to up the annie. If Zeke's not playing,
Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be a lot more blitz coming,
Speaker 1: especially on the other side. Then you've got Dad who's
Speaker 1: just getting back. Now, the key to this, I'm bringing
Speaker 1: it from Chicago. I'm gonna bring it. I have really
Speaker 1: I mean that that's still in the hunt in regards
Speaker 1: to the division. But this would be a game to
Speaker 1: what if I'm gonna win it and I'm going to
Speaker 1: be aggressive because the Cowboys don't like teams to come
Speaker 1: in and be aggressive, and this would be the book
Speaker 1: on it. This is a game Ebraflus has circled on
Speaker 1: his calendar, not because he has any disdained towards Dallas,
Speaker 1: but this is where he worked for a number of years.
Speaker 1: And so I mean you naturally look at the look
Speaker 1: at the schedule and go there Dallas. Yeah, at six
Speaker 1: I like for us to play well six years. Six years.
Speaker 1: He was here from twenty eleven through twenty seven seasons,
Speaker 1: so seven seasons in Dallas. And if you go back
Speaker 1: and look, and and Eberflus was you know, he came
Speaker 1: with Rob Bryan, Okay, because he was at Cleveland with
Speaker 1: Rob Bryan before. So at three to four defense and
Speaker 1: then the course of Cowboys made the conversion of the
Speaker 1: four three and Marinelli kept him in Missouri before that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but so two different systems, okay, And really
Speaker 1: and eber Plus was the was the pass game coordinator
Speaker 1: defensively with Marinelli as a defensive coordinator his last couple
Speaker 1: of years here. But it didn't know he made a
Speaker 1: he had a big hand in what the Cowboys were
Speaker 1: doing defensively. But you know, my last two he was
Speaker 1: the pass game coordinator. Is there an echo in here?
Speaker 1: Did you just say? I was thinking, yes, you are.
Speaker 1: I can't think multitask, but now that that my my,
Speaker 1: you know, it would have been a concern, But there's
Speaker 1: no there's no uh you know, there's no crossover. He
Speaker 1: wasn't really here when we had this offensive scheme that
Speaker 1: we have in not like he's accustomed to the way
Speaker 1: we do business. Well, I mean, well he was here
Speaker 1: when you know Dak's first two years in the league system. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because Winnahan and Garrett Yeah yeah, but Kellen Moore was
Speaker 1: all the teams they strayed very far from that. See, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's a connection. Yeah, because that's a trend. You
Speaker 1: want to look at trends if you're gonna if you
Speaker 1: and he was here long enough to understand that he's
Speaker 1: got to control Dak Prescott. Yeah, he understands what Dak
Speaker 1: likes to do, even going back his first two years
Speaker 1: in the league. I mean, so there's some uh, it's
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. That's a different quarter back Froment's
Speaker 1: first two years in the league. He is, and yet
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people and we've talked about it
Speaker 1: that in many ways, with what the Cowboys are defensively,
Speaker 1: much like the way they were when Eberflus was here
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, defensively, Uh they were pretty good. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: and Dak was successful not having to do that much.
Speaker 1: And and we've talked about Dak could use going back
Speaker 1: to his roots a little bit and not rely more.
Speaker 1: Yeah others right, yeah, yeah, so no, they need him
Speaker 1: to do more. Who are you relying on if if
Speaker 1: you don't have Zeke, not a Pollard? Right? I need
Speaker 1: him to start? Look, oh now, now Zeke matters. All
Speaker 1: I hear out there is that Pollard is so much
Speaker 1: better than zy Zeke even getting carries the beginning to
Speaker 1: choose who you hear from. He needs to go back
Speaker 1: to being Dak, and in this offense needs to be
Speaker 1: more efficient. I think it's a miracle that they are
Speaker 1: five and two, averaging nineteen points a game. And guess what,
Speaker 1: the Bears are giving up an average of nineteen points
Speaker 1: a game. So this the Cowboys are scoring nineteen this game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're going on record. Oh no, there's money average nineteen
Speaker 1: Bears give up nineteen nineteen to eighteen? What average game?
Speaker 1: I just did it too, by the way, well we
Speaker 1: can figure it out real quick. I wanted to have
Speaker 1: your little stat sheet there that you gave to me earlier.
Speaker 1: This week and I've lost I want to say it
Speaker 1: was like thirteen. Okay, let me well figure that out
Speaker 1: and then figure and then okay, here's your assignment during
Speaker 1: this break and figure out. Figure out what the Cowboys
Speaker 1: average giving up and what the Bears average scoring, and
Speaker 1: we're going to figure out the final score on Sunday.
Speaker 1: We got much more mix shots in just a moment.

Speaker 1: and the results of your research during the break, which
Speaker 1: was the last Bears averaging offensive? Bears are averaging offensively
Speaker 1: how many points? Eighteen eighteen? And the Cowboys are averaging
Speaker 1: how many offensively? N nineteen? Okay, so I said nineteen
Speaker 1: eighteen off top of my head. All right, and so
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are averaging giving up thirteen? You say,
Speaker 1: oh is that? What is that said? Well? Give me
Speaker 1: the Bears defensively The Bears are defensively giving up nineteen. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what you said. That's what you said. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, So somebody's going to score nineteen points in
Speaker 1: this game? Okay, Everson? What's on your mind as we
Speaker 1: head into this game against the Bears. You know, you
Speaker 1: guys give me pause. Man. You know when you used
Speaker 1: to are talking about Zeke being out, that really does
Speaker 1: change the whole you know, outlook, at this game as
Speaker 1: far as how we attack the game plan, how we
Speaker 1: use it. We're playing right into the Bear's hands, you know,
Speaker 1: because they are a good defensive team. But what really
Speaker 1: concerns me. I am not worried about the running backs
Speaker 1: in this game, even though they do lead the league
Speaker 1: in rushing. I do worry about justin fields scramble situations.
Speaker 1: I worry about his ability, especially doing the hectic parts
Speaker 1: of the game. We're tired. This guy's back there, he's
Speaker 1: in great shape. He gets beat up every week, and
Speaker 1: he still comes back and runs very well. And those
Speaker 1: runs make a difference in the end of ball games,
Speaker 1: and they move the chains. That's when we get in
Speaker 1: trouble defensively, is when we allow the offense to move
Speaker 1: the chains and his scramble ability, that can happen very easily.
Speaker 1: He's a running back basically way I mean, he's not
Speaker 1: like this frail quarterback that's got a scamper around right.
Speaker 1: He probably could have played running back. He could have
Speaker 1: receiver sixty three two twenty eight pounds. Yeah really ran
Speaker 1: yep and he uh that's prototype size. Uh And he
Speaker 1: ran a four four one on his pro day. Will
Speaker 1: McClay I think as will As told me yesterday that, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was at his pro day and he clocked a
Speaker 1: four four one. Maybe it maybe maccarthur told me that,
Speaker 1: so you you might have to have two spies on
Speaker 1: this time, might not have one one, might not be
Speaker 1: enough hurt. That's by design. Those runs are by design.
Speaker 1: I don't believe recalled the Bears doing any quarterback drawers
Speaker 1: or anything like that. All you see is when when
Speaker 1: he makes his yards, it's always from a scrambled situation.
Speaker 1: It's not like Jalen Hurts. Actually, this last game, they
Speaker 1: had a couple of calls they did quarterback runs against
Speaker 1: They had one and Will McClay he tellustrated it on
Speaker 1: the Mike McCarthy Show, which you can watch eleven thirty
Speaker 1: on Saturday nights across the Dallas all across the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys Network party posted on Dallas Cowboys dot com. There
Speaker 1: was one play in particular where the Patriots had They
Speaker 1: did everything you would want to do as far as
Speaker 1: containing a quarterback, and he was able to slip out
Speaker 1: and get a sizeable game. Um, you know, if we
Speaker 1: don't put it out, if we don't put it put
Speaker 1: some distance between those point wise. That's right, and that's
Speaker 1: what you were talking about with debt, because if you
Speaker 1: score points, you make these other teams play out of character. Right.
Speaker 1: They got to play catch up and they got to
Speaker 1: take chances, and that exposes their weakness. They don't they
Speaker 1: they they played to their defense. We've been talking about
Speaker 1: this all season. They actually catered to their defense and
Speaker 1: to their running game. And so if you I'll take
Speaker 1: care of it, Yeah, it will take care of you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's how you how you play better defense, score points, situation. Well,
Speaker 1: let me go here, then let me give you the
Speaker 1: complete engine. Yeah. Day Yeah, there were a couple of
Speaker 1: editions yesterday. So Micah Parsons was listed as limited with
Speaker 1: a shoulder. Now, he came out a little bit late
Speaker 1: after the stretch, but he had his pads on. So
Speaker 1: limited means he didn't do everything, but he was capable
Speaker 1: of being out there. Uh So uh McCarthy said, I
Speaker 1: foresee him practicing Saturday. Yeah, so that's a good sign. Uh.
Speaker 1: Sam Williams did not practice. Um, he had a knee
Speaker 1: right yea um, and he said that he has a
Speaker 1: chance to practice on Saturday. So that's a good sign.
Speaker 1: Hooker was in rehab. He said, if we had to
Speaker 1: practice today, Hooker would still be in rehab, So that
Speaker 1: doesn't sound very promising. And then Noah brown Um was
Speaker 1: listed as out with a foot injury and he was
Speaker 1: not in pads yesterday, and the best Mike could say
Speaker 1: about him is he's progressing, doing well. We'll see on Saturday.
Speaker 1: So that not only complicates the offense, but it also
Speaker 1: means what happens on special teams, right, because he's the
Speaker 1: personal protector, by the way, and so then you would
Speaker 1: have to replace him there, and that's kind of a
Speaker 1: significant spot. So that would mean if he can't go,
Speaker 1: and Jalen Tolbert is up, yeah as your third, right,
Speaker 1: and then Michael Gallup can't get zeroed out or one catch,
Speaker 1: you know, he'll be a more integral part in the
Speaker 1: passing game, which I still think they need to be
Speaker 1: more efficient. You know. It's one thing for Dak to say, hey,
Speaker 1: I just want to win. If that means throwing the
Speaker 1: ball twenty times or whatever, that's what we'll do. But
Speaker 1: I think to continue winning, they got to be able
Speaker 1: to be more efficient throwing, and especially in this game
Speaker 1: without Zeke. Yes, yeah, tell you what I like the
Speaker 1: Bear secondary and a couple of them are rookies back there,
Speaker 1: and they both had picks in the last game against
Speaker 1: New England. And the corner Kyler Gordon was a second
Speaker 1: round pick thirty ninth overall out of Washington. And the
Speaker 1: free safety Jikuon Brisker, free safety strong safety, the intermix
Speaker 1: him and Eddie Jackson and the veteran back there. But
Speaker 1: Brisker was also a second round pick. He taken nine
Speaker 1: picks later. Uh, and he's been really impressive. He's out
Speaker 1: of Penn State. Was he the one that had the
Speaker 1: pick off the wire that maybe he did? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: Gordon had the one. Um Gordon had the one where
Speaker 1: Zappi threw behind the receiver the left flat right and
Speaker 1: his was the one that went way up with one hand. Ye.
Speaker 1: And Roquan Smith had the other interception the middle linebacker
Speaker 1: who's really good. So they're good, so do Knox. Yeah
Speaker 1: they are. They're up third, third in the league in picks.
Speaker 1: They got eight interceptions on the season. Don't go to
Speaker 1: sleep on the Bears. And Jalen Johnson their other corner
Speaker 1: who was a second round pick in twenty twenty out
Speaker 1: of Utah. I really liked him coming out of the draft,
Speaker 1: and he's been hurt and he came back. He played
Speaker 1: the last couple of games against Washington and New England.
Speaker 1: UM and Eddie Jackson has been a ballhawk going back
Speaker 1: to Alabama. I mean, so yeah, they're uh, I mean,
Speaker 1: we can say three, you can throw the ball against them.
Speaker 1: But you know what are they against the run? Thirty?
Speaker 1: That was Detroit, No, I mean Chicago is they're they're
Speaker 1: pretty good against it right now Chicago Chicago Bears are
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, tied for twenty ninth against the run, but
Speaker 1: their third in in pass right twelfth overall. Oh, this
Speaker 1: was the one that stuck out their twenty eight offense
Speaker 1: and thirty second passing offense and number one Russia go
Speaker 1: offense every so you can see what they're doing there.
Speaker 1: Came doing two the running game and to the defense
Speaker 1: and keep the game, to keep the game game intact
Speaker 1: until we allow them to make a mistake. So this
Speaker 1: has to which is why New England did. This has
Speaker 1: to be a breakout game for this team on third
Speaker 1: down that they are able to continue drives, keep the
Speaker 1: all and their biggest problem, as McCarthy pointed out, is
Speaker 1: their third You know, it's one thing you say, Okay,
Speaker 1: I want I don't want to get in third and long.
Speaker 1: He said, they're one of their stats that has to
Speaker 1: improve is third in two to five. They haven't been
Speaker 1: consistent about because they had a bunch of short ones.
Speaker 1: That's bizarre world. Usually it's the other way around. They
Speaker 1: had a bunch of short ones in this last game,
Speaker 1: and they didn't convert. Yeah, which also would tend to
Speaker 1: keep you from gambling on fourth down and going for it. Right,
Speaker 1: But it's such a small sample size. I know as
Speaker 1: far as the Cowboys are concerned with Dak at quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak played against Tampa Bay and he played
Speaker 1: against Detroit and so that there, I mean, as good
Speaker 1: a job as Cooper Rush did. It's a different team
Speaker 1: with Dak at quarterback, or at least I hope it
Speaker 1: wasn't different enough in this last game. Has been was
Speaker 1: the problem? Although I don't know those Well, here's the
Speaker 1: other thing. If okay, even take the last game, that
Speaker 1: last drive of the first half, they drove its seventy
Speaker 1: yards down field and then Noah Brown got flipped and fumbled, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, if they score a touchdown, on that drive, okay,
Speaker 1: and not and don't fumble and give it up at
Speaker 1: the three yard line. What was the final score? Twenty four?
Speaker 1: They scored thirty one points in that game, right, so
Speaker 1: they were on drave and it was a slow start.
Speaker 1: We could also say, well, you know, if the if
Speaker 1: the Lions would have finished the drive, finished the drive,
Speaker 1: then they're not gonna give to give the ball away
Speaker 1: five times because they're not gonna be having to throw
Speaker 1: the football. You know, if they if they take the
Speaker 1: lead at thirteen to ten in the fourth quarter, that
Speaker 1: game can play up would would play out entirely differently.
Speaker 1: So they were right. They were three of nine this
Speaker 1: past game against Detroit on third down, Philadelphia four of ten.
Speaker 1: So that means they're seven of nine teen in the
Speaker 1: last two games. And prior to that, five of fifteen,
Speaker 1: five or fifteen, five of thirteen, three of ten, three
Speaker 1: of fifteen haven't been good. Hello, that is it says?
Speaker 1: Yes they are? Okay? You asked offensively third down percentage
Speaker 1: in the league, they rank thirtieth. The Cowboys did. Cowboys
Speaker 1: ranked thirtieth in the league and third down thirty two
Speaker 1: point two percent. You got to be better than that.
Speaker 1: You gotta beat forty. Yeah, and we we've said it
Speaker 1: many times. We're able to survive all of those inadequate
Speaker 1: numbers because we have a hell of a defense. And
Speaker 1: the one time the defense gave up twenty six points,
Speaker 1: they got beat. Yeah. Right, guess what. Guess what the
Speaker 1: Bears are defensively on third down? What what they? What
Speaker 1: do they rank? Probably fifty, they rank thirtieth. They ran
Speaker 1: thirtieth league defensively on third down. Yeah, that's crazy. The
Speaker 1: numbers really don't add up. No, it's so it's the
Speaker 1: movable object versus the resistible force on third down. They
Speaker 1: don't want to move, they are resisting, but they're thirty
Speaker 1: seven of ninety one on third down. It says here
Speaker 1: that's their off offense. Our offense is right. The defense
Speaker 1: is giving up forty six point six percent, right, which
Speaker 1: ranks thirtieth. I wonder how many of those first downs
Speaker 1: on third down came from a scramble on their offensive? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Okay, Mickey's gonna look that up. When we
Speaker 1: were come back here, scramble first downs? We paid how
Speaker 1: much for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Can you pass me a Pepsi zero sugar. Great job, honey,
Speaker 1: Oh look at that. That's not the end, no way.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right?
Speaker 1: Five times not enough times for everyone who traded in
Speaker 1: rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi
Speaker 1: zero sugar, that's what I like. Nobody protects you from
Speaker 1: Mayhem like All State. You hear that, I'm a torrential downpour? Torrential?
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? It means you can't see
Speaker 1: out of your windshield, and if you have the wrong
Speaker 1: car insurance, you might have to make it rain to
Speaker 1: fix your bumper. So switch to All State, save money
Speaker 1: and be better protected from Mayhem like me based on
Speaker 1: coverage in them, it's selected sect to terms, conditions, and availability.

Speaker 1: Of course, we appreciate the voice of the cowboys. Brad
Speaker 1: Sham joining us yesterday and going to the archives, and
Speaker 1: why we have to work that one. Uh, you know
Speaker 1: what he was talking about, Bob Thomas as a steam
Speaker 1: statsman for decades rest in the businesses. That's right, Bob
Speaker 1: did uh. Actually, Sir Douglas Barriclow tweeted out the cow
Speaker 1: bite of the day, which it was Brad talking about
Speaker 1: his call. And you know, Emmett needed nine yards on
Speaker 1: the play, and he wasn't sure whether he got the
Speaker 1: yardage needed for the record or not. Anyway, but Bob
Speaker 1: saw that, and he actually tweeted out a picture he
Speaker 1: still has. Looks like it's even looks like it's a napkin,
Speaker 1: but where he wrote down the number eleven and and
Speaker 1: Bob and his tweet said he needed nine and got eleven,
Speaker 1: and so that was the reference to he got eleven.
Speaker 1: So they were waiting for how many yards Emmett's gonna
Speaker 1: get on this on his next carry, and so quickly
Speaker 1: Bob gave him eleven. Okay, and then and so he
Speaker 1: did the call. So Bob said he needed nine, got
Speaker 1: eleven and then parentheses and lost one. On the next
Speaker 1: play he went back not two, yeah, minus one. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he never it was never he never lost he
Speaker 1: give it back. Yeah, And he says, this is the
Speaker 1: note I wrote to Brad at the time, which was
Speaker 1: the picture of the number eleven, and he read he
Speaker 1: kept it and and at the bottom of the note, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's all tattered right now. At the bottom of the
Speaker 1: note it's said it said for sale on eBay. Ye,
Speaker 1: so later he said the eBay comment was added after Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was no eBay. Probably there might have been. But
Speaker 1: at some point I guess Bob Thomas at least thought
Speaker 1: about selling it on eBay. That might be at the
Speaker 1: pro shop tomorrow. I mean it, you know, just that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that brag about it. That's it. I guess he
Speaker 1: didn't get it and then then sell it. I guess
Speaker 1: he didn't get the value. But maybe with the twenty
Speaker 1: year anniversary, maybe Bob Thomas can benefit from Bob, you
Speaker 1: need to get to the pro Shop in grape Vine
Speaker 1: Mills one somebody. Yep, all right, it's about time for
Speaker 1: our picks to click and our winner on Sunday at
Speaker 1: noon at at and T Stadium. Won last week? Nobody, nobody.
Speaker 1: I had Browns with two tds. You had, well, Turpentine
Speaker 1: terpen you had twenty six nineteen spacks, and you said,
Speaker 1: Turpentine will get off. What did I have? You had
Speaker 1: twenty four to sixteen and Polock will get a hundred?
Speaker 1: How many points? Scowboys score? Twenty four? How twenty eight?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry they played? They scored twenty four and I said,
Speaker 1: what twenty four sixteen? I don't get any credit for
Speaker 1: twenty four sixteen? No? Do I get credit because I
Speaker 1: was too over? What What did you have? I had
Speaker 1: Browns with two touchdowns and Cowboys two seventeen and he
Speaker 1: almost got almost had one? All right, So what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do this week? This week? I am so confused.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't have Zeke in there. Well, I
Speaker 1: think I think he's gonna play. I really think he's
Speaker 1: gonna play. Having to make those moves, it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a game. What's gonna have to
Speaker 1: lay on Dak's shoulders? I gotta I gotta give it
Speaker 1: to Dak. You know, he's gotta be the guy. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have to make He's gonna have to throw at
Speaker 1: least two touchdowns and I'm looking at him to throw
Speaker 1: for over two hundred plus yards coming out party. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have to and it's not gonna be. To me,
Speaker 1: that's not pretty. I think it's gonna still be a grind.
Speaker 1: I think the third downs are gonna have to work.
Speaker 1: I think the emphasis that they have on that is
Speaker 1: gonna be good because that's what Dak did all last year.
Speaker 1: The third downs are gonna be be do well. All
Speaker 1: we have is CD. To me, CD's gonna have to
Speaker 1: play well. Just seems he just doesn't seem to be
Speaker 1: back with yet. I don't see the confidence that's in that.
Speaker 1: I think it's the mentality just trust steam the knee,
Speaker 1: because those guys were jumping his routes. Man, his routes
Speaker 1: would not crisp. That was against Philadelphia, not crisp at all.
Speaker 1: He just doesn't seem to have the confidence right now
Speaker 1: that he needs to have. And maybe that's because he
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten enough tries down the field right where he
Speaker 1: can really show what he's doing. Because remember it was
Speaker 1: the Giants game. I believe it was was the Giants
Speaker 1: before Philly. Yes, yeah, yeah, he was cleared medically and
Speaker 1: then he was like on Saturday. I don't know, so yeah,
Speaker 1: he just he just doesn't didn't look right. Uh the
Speaker 1: entire game. They to jump his routes like that. That
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen very often for any type of wide receiver.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Dad getting two touchdowns and
Speaker 1: over two hundred plus yards. I'm gonna look at Ceedee.
Speaker 1: Lamb's gonna be a good, a good guy. But I'm
Speaker 1: going with Dad, and I think the score is gonna
Speaker 1: be a tough score. Guys, just yeah, why not? Why?
Speaker 1: Why about the trend? I'm gonna go nineteen nineteen eighteen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go nineteen thirteen? How about that? Nineteen thirteen,
Speaker 1: nineteen thirteen, nineteen thirteen? Okay, like that making you going next?
Speaker 1: I'll go next? Um, I am going twenty six seventeen, Cowboys.
Speaker 1: You did that? Okay, I'm sorry, go ahead, I did it.
Speaker 1: I might have done it. No, No, I knew I
Speaker 1: heard it before I heard nineteen yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty six seventeen, and my click is going to be
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup is back. Michael is bad. He's gonna have
Speaker 1: to be God, He's gonna have to I said, See,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to show up, you say, Michael, Michael
Speaker 1: Gallups gonna which, by the way, was that who Dak
Speaker 1: was thrown too over the middle in that triple coverage
Speaker 1: that almost got intercepted might have been over the middle.
Speaker 1: You remember it was a kind of en route. I
Speaker 1: just wrote down triple coverage. It were an exclamation point
Speaker 1: and the question mark right. You know. Dak was asked
Speaker 1: about that. He had a he had a very interesting answer.
Speaker 1: I had it somewhere he said. Somebody said, did you
Speaker 1: have too much confidence in yourself? And he goes, no,
Speaker 1: he goes, that's where I wanted to go with the ball.
Speaker 1: And he goes and he kind of said, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody else has to do what they have to do.
Speaker 1: By the way, so he wasn't taking full blame for
Speaker 1: throwing it. So he's saying the route, the route wasn't
Speaker 1: run well. And he didn't say that one in particular,
Speaker 1: but he said some of those that everybody said, oh
Speaker 1: you had, you know, you were forcing it in there,
Speaker 1: and he was going, no, he goes, that's where I
Speaker 1: was supposed to go with the ball. Once he gets
Speaker 1: that bad foot down, right, then you better be where
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be. So spacked you were twenty six seventeen, Yes,
Speaker 1: twenty six seventeen. It's eight offensive explosion for the got
Speaker 1: you okay? If Zeke we're playing and was at full health? Okay,
Speaker 1: which good still if he was at full health, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got the Cowboys thirty to nothing. Well you laugh, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: because that's not happening. So that's why I'm laughing. I'm
Speaker 1: waiting on you know, reality is step in all right, Um,
Speaker 1: let me give you my pick to click. Okay, Cavante Turpin,
Speaker 1: he's gonna finally break one the one time I don't
Speaker 1: pick them, he'll do it. He's gonna finally break one
Speaker 1: against Devin Hester's team. Okay, right, oh, very good against
Speaker 1: Devin Devin Uster's number was what twenty three? Yes? Okay?
Speaker 1: That Cowboys scored twenty what's Cavante's number? Nine nine nine,
Speaker 1: twenty three nine? My final score? I got it, baby,
Speaker 1: I got And by the way, I found that's doable.
Speaker 1: I found Dak's quote when he was asked about those throws,
Speaker 1: and he said, I felt like they were there. They
Speaker 1: were aggressive, but I felt like the ball was where
Speaker 1: I wanted it to be. Okay, can I give you
Speaker 1: another pick to click to? Okay you want to, I've
Speaker 1: got a second pick to click. And he's gonna have
Speaker 1: limited snaps, but we're we're gonna like what we see
Speaker 1: out of this guy. And it's the newest cowboy. Jonathan Hankins.
Speaker 1: Somebody that's one of the keys. Oh wait a second,
Speaker 1: if you were yes, if you oh whoa? What a second? Whoa?
Speaker 1: Looks of this? I just I just saw this. I
Speaker 1: literally said that before I saw this from a viewer
Speaker 1: listener in Frisco. Nate in Frisco. Pick to click, Jonathan
Speaker 1: Hankin shutting down the run of the Bears. Right, Nate
Speaker 1: in Frisco. I swear I did not see her came up.
Speaker 1: You would not look at your phone. Uh yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go. And I tell you what. Talking with Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy last night after the oil actually on the Coaches Show,
Speaker 1: which you can see at eleven thirty on Saturday night. Um,
Speaker 1: he's really excited about Jonathan Hankins in the building. Oh yes, yes,
Speaker 1: well he talked about him today, Like you know, I've
Speaker 1: always had one of these guys and he goes in.
Speaker 1: You know, we were you know, losing Ridgeway was a
Speaker 1: was a huge thing which we talked about earlier this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they wanted that. You know what, and he could
Speaker 1: be your pick to click without tackles if he can
Speaker 1: just luck up the middle and allow the linebacker. The
Speaker 1: key on whether he is he clicks or not, Yeah,
Speaker 1: is how much rushing yardage do their running backs have? Right? Okay,
Speaker 1: because and I put an asterisk by that pick to
Speaker 1: click only because it's your second choice, yea, or its
Speaker 1: Nates first. Because they're averaging of them. They're averaging one
Speaker 1: one a game, okay, using the ball. So the addition
Speaker 1: of Jonathan Hankins could that get him to one thirty one?
Speaker 1: And see, the thing is when you see these rushing las,
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily run up the middle. Yeah, they're not
Speaker 1: running right over the center and in the guard. They're
Speaker 1: running off tackle. But but if that guy can keep
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman from getting down field, there you go.
Speaker 1: Then you got a better chance for your linebackers to itself.
Speaker 1: All right. So there you have it. We've got it covered,
Speaker 1: and Nate's coming. So we got to go next week.
Speaker 1: Yeah to Monday, we review this and then did you
Speaker 1: not get the email? I did. That's why I'm asking
Speaker 1: about next week. You you you're on okay, a different show. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so we will on Monday. We're exporting Everson Walls.
Speaker 1: All right, I know y'all get to stay together. Booth
Speaker 1: my ass out of here. Well they figured if it
Speaker 1: was mix shots, I should stay on mix shots. Good point,
