Speaker 1: This is Talking Cowboys Screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot
Speaker 1: Com and the official Dallas Cowboys as Tuxtown. Play no
Speaker 1: Your hosts Mickey Spagnola, Brian Broadens, Taylor Stern, and Rob Phillips.
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome into the SWBC Mortgage Studio. I'm
Speaker 1: Taylor Stern, joined by Mickey, Rob Brian. We are here
Speaker 1: on a victory Monday at the start in Frisco, getting
Speaker 1: ready to break down the Kansas City Chiefs victory that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had yesterday at at and T Stadium. Of course,
Speaker 1: they won twenty eight seventeen in pretty much dominating fashion.
Speaker 1: If you can just forget about that pre hab time touchdown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they held these guys and they had the great,
Speaker 1: great game plan. Try saying that ten times fast. But
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing today? Really good, fantastic. Mickey's
Speaker 1: wearing a vest, so we know it's going to be
Speaker 1: a good time. Let's go great rock. Yeah, old front
Speaker 1: coming in front on the plaza yesterday, a coal front,
Speaker 1: and I surprised how well they tackled yesterday. I was
Speaker 1: impressed by how well they tackled yesterday and how physical
Speaker 1: they were defensively especially up front against the running game.
Speaker 1: I think I think, yeah, you know, Tyrone Crawford after
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, when you hear these things, yeah, okay, like,
Speaker 1: oh we were we were on our keys. Everybody was
Speaker 1: their keys. And I was thinking, okay, how boring. And
Speaker 1: then I went back and looked at my notes and
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, there was something to that. Sure,
Speaker 1: they didn't get caught chasing the ball. Everybody stayed where
Speaker 1: they were supposed to stay. And I think that Shawn
Speaker 1: Lee had the Kansas City Chiefs game plan. He did,
Speaker 1: and he held. They all held. Kareem Hunt, the league's
Speaker 1: leading rusher currently yeah to thirty seven yards on nine carries,
Speaker 1: his second lowest output of the season. That's impressive because
Speaker 1: a lot of people were concerned that you were, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Brian's raising in his hand right now. Alex Smith had
Speaker 1: so many weapons. He had ground game, he had tight ends,
Speaker 1: he had Tyreek. Yeah, and very similar. The teams are
Speaker 1: very similar in the way they play. If you if
Speaker 1: you really want to look at it, I don't think
Speaker 1: that you know that Dallas doesn't have a course of
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters to play on the end, but heck, you know,
Speaker 1: Scott Linehan said, I'll tack you. I don't have a
Speaker 1: problem with that. Went a double move against would put
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams out there, went double move on him. Randez
Speaker 1: Bryan on an inside route another time. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: give give the both the offensive defensive coaches a lot
Speaker 1: of credit with the game plans that they were able
Speaker 1: to end the execution by the players, of course, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I felt like that neither defense was going to really
Speaker 1: be able to slow the other offense down. And then
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were outstanding yesterday that we were talking about.
Speaker 1: Mickey said, the run fits. You know, you get the
Speaker 1: one key turnover at the end of the game. We
Speaker 1: talked about, hey, find two stops, make two stops. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, they made a stop at three twenty four
Speaker 1: and the third and they made another stop on the interception.
Speaker 1: That was the difference of your football game right there
Speaker 1: before they play. Yeah, and you guys mentioned the tackling.
Speaker 1: I thought the secondary guys set the tone with the
Speaker 1: tackling early on Xavier Woods with a third down stop
Speaker 1: in great position Byron Jones was in position on that
Speaker 1: play as well. Scandrick with a big tackle. I mean,
Speaker 1: when your dbs are stepping up and being physical and tackling.
Speaker 1: I think that sends a message to the rest of
Speaker 1: the defense. We're ready to play. Yea. And they got
Speaker 1: off to a great start. You know, there was one
Speaker 1: play in question, but other than that, they were outstanding
Speaker 1: in this game. You know. And some of those tackles
Speaker 1: those dbs made, they read the playwright. They were jumping,
Speaker 1: They they they they were keen and whatever they were
Speaker 1: keen on, they read it. Scandrick read the one right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and and and that encourages you that, hey, these guys
Speaker 1: are studying. These guys are trying to figure out what's
Speaker 1: going on. And I think it's just a maturation process
Speaker 1: that's taken place right now. Yeah, that your defensive back.
Speaker 1: When you talk about Scandrick and Lee both two your
Speaker 1: smarter defenders. You know, they were they were they were
Speaker 1: really playing, especially in some of that zone coverage stuff.
Speaker 1: Scandrick would come off his guy in zone to read
Speaker 1: the interception. Was just a clear read. He saw it
Speaker 1: all the way. Jeff Heath reading from the back end,
Speaker 1: he saw what was going on. He knew he was
Speaker 1: going to try and fit that ball and give give
Speaker 1: Tank Lawrence a lot of credit for driving Fisher all
Speaker 1: the way down inside and making Smith have to throw
Speaker 1: the ball over the top of him. But yeah, usually
Speaker 1: when you have big plays you have it's it's not
Speaker 1: just the interception, it's like two or three other guys
Speaker 1: doing something to effect the play. And they had that
Speaker 1: happen a lot yesterday. And the way they were playing
Speaker 1: some of their coverages. Yeah, absolutely, you never felt like
Speaker 1: Alex Smith was completely comfort ball in the game. Made
Speaker 1: him hold the ball. Yeah, that's that's the thing about
Speaker 1: it is find a way to make him hold the ball.
Speaker 1: And you know there was Hey, there were a couple
Speaker 1: of times, there were some breakdowns and but Smith, you know,
Speaker 1: there was pressure in his face. Give the line a
Speaker 1: lot of credit for their ability to attack, you know,
Speaker 1: with the David Irvin playing inside, played a little bit
Speaker 1: outside as well, got some pressure. His sack came of
Speaker 1: him him playing left defensive end. So you know that
Speaker 1: those are the types of things that you need to
Speaker 1: have if if they're going to continue to get pressure
Speaker 1: and choke the run, well they could play some defense
Speaker 1: in this league. And Brian wrote about that sack last night,
Speaker 1: how it was everybody else getting pressure, allowing Irving to
Speaker 1: climb the pocket and when you look at Irving had
Speaker 1: a sack a couple of games ago, where it was
Speaker 1: it was Tyrone Crawford allowing him to They ran a
Speaker 1: stunt a game perfectly. It's really all these linemen together.
Speaker 1: They were getting this collective pressure. And that's what's so
Speaker 1: impressive about it is it's not just a DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 1: has ten and a half sacks. It's a bunch of
Speaker 1: guys that are they're working together in concert. Yeah, on
Speaker 1: a scale one to ten. I know this might be
Speaker 1: hard to say eight games in, but you're halfway through
Speaker 1: the season right now, how strongly do you feel about
Speaker 1: this Cowboys defensive line currently? The defensive line, the defensive
Speaker 1: line being the best? O Um? I mean I was
Speaker 1: reading some different articles today that people are saying this
Speaker 1: is the best the Cowboys defensive line has looked in years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would. I would still twenty seven sacks man. That's
Speaker 1: because you know, the playing the run has to do
Speaker 1: with the fits, and has to do with Sean Lee,
Speaker 1: and has to do with the tackling. But if you
Speaker 1: look at the pressure, I would give him a seven
Speaker 1: myself right now in that see how how about how
Speaker 1: about just the entire defense. That's one of the most
Speaker 1: impressive defensive performance considering the opponent they've had in quite
Speaker 1: some time. That is a basically what I just wrote
Speaker 1: for today is no more equivocating about the defense. Well
Speaker 1: with San Francisco, Well, Washington was beat up. They played
Speaker 1: a darn good offense yesterday and they whipped them. Should
Speaker 1: have been just ten points. Right, So you hold the
Speaker 1: team that's averaging twenty nine and a half points a game,
Speaker 1: the number three in total yards, the leading rusher, the
Speaker 1: leading quarterback rating, quarterback on their on their side, turn
Speaker 1: the ball over and they yeah, they don't turn the
Speaker 1: ball over and you beat them that bad? Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: they're good? Can they can they? Can they sustain it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's going to be I mean, that's the deal. But
Speaker 1: this this was a did you say it during the week?
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out about this defense because it's so funny.
Speaker 1: We went into the bye week and it's weird how
Speaker 1: it was a month in between a home game. The
Speaker 1: last game was Green Bay, and we headed into the
Speaker 1: by saying, this offense is on track now, but what
Speaker 1: about this defense? This defense is going to cost the
Speaker 1: Cowboys because they can't stop anybody, or they can't stop
Speaker 1: elite talent on the other side of the ball. And
Speaker 1: this was a great test. And think about it, six
Speaker 1: six of eight games now they've held they've held opponents
Speaker 1: to no more than twenty points nineteen points, right right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because going into this season, I remember after the Week
Speaker 1: one game against the Giants, of course, we didn't know
Speaker 1: what kind of team the Giants would be at that point,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people were so impressed with the defense,
Speaker 1: walking away saying, is this for real? Can we trust this?
Speaker 1: The next week, of course, was the Denver game, and
Speaker 1: you kind of were back to square one. But that
Speaker 1: was your one clunker this year that you've had so far.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the one, the one game where you
Speaker 1: kind of look back and you say, okay, that just
Speaker 1: you know, just didn't play well enough on offense or defense.
Speaker 1: That was a team loss right there. That wasn't so
Speaker 1: much on the defense. I feel like they got put
Speaker 1: in some bad situations, but they didn't do what they
Speaker 1: needed to do. And yeah, they've you know, Sean Lee
Speaker 1: being back in the lineup I think has really helped.
Speaker 1: I think the fact that you have you know Orlando
Speaker 1: Scandrick I think is playing very well right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: they still got some issues there, but heck, they didn't
Speaker 1: allow the Chiefs to run the football. That's that's the
Speaker 1: thing I was worried about the most, that the Chiefs
Speaker 1: would have balance, and then all of a sudden, now
Speaker 1: they're kind of doing what the Cowboys did to them,
Speaker 1: is keep the ball away, long drives, finished drives. They
Speaker 1: were able not to, and they did, they did, they
Speaker 1: didn't accomplish that. You go back and you think about
Speaker 1: that Denver game and the way Denver's playing right now,
Speaker 1: and you're like, what the hell happened in that they
Speaker 1: played him the wrong way? Yeah, they sure did. But
Speaker 1: to answer your questionation, played Washington the right week. They
Speaker 1: go to Seattle, yeatory, Yeah, one to ten this Cowboys
Speaker 1: d line. I put him out an eight because I
Speaker 1: think it can get better. And they've still got more
Speaker 1: tests ahead. They got another test this Sunday at Atlanta.
Speaker 1: But they now have they have two guys and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to call them war daddies or whatever, but
Speaker 1: they've got two guys right now, d Law and Irving
Speaker 1: that offenses look at and say we got it. We
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to block these two guys. And
Speaker 1: that's something that you know, you go into the season
Speaker 1: and you're like, do they have one of those guys
Speaker 1: and now there's two, one rushing from the middle, one
Speaker 1: from the outside, and they moved irving around. I mean,
Speaker 1: that is a huge thing to account for for an offense.
Speaker 1: And they better not go to sleep on Crawford either. No,
Speaker 1: you know, his his career high in sacks is five.
Speaker 1: He's got four halfway through this right, absolutely, So the
Speaker 1: versatility upfront I think has really helped it. It's not
Speaker 1: just one guy and that was a hard game to
Speaker 1: get sacks on and they got two. They've been getting
Speaker 1: four or five a game. So yeah, twenty seven after
Speaker 1: eight game foe. Yeah, so yeah, they're actually getting getting better.
Speaker 1: They're actually getting good play from guys like Richard ash
Speaker 1: which is funny to say. I mean, you mean when
Speaker 1: you sit down and really if you watch the the
Speaker 1: you know game pass all twenty two and I think
Speaker 1: everybody does, you can see seventy six actually do some
Speaker 1: things and you know they have a they have some
Speaker 1: have that final drive. I mean, they took Lawrence and
Speaker 1: put him on the right side and put Taco in
Speaker 1: the game on the left side, and they said, hey,
Speaker 1: let's go to work and try and kill this game.
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, it was good. Glad you brought him up.
Speaker 1: How have we gone this long without talking about Taco's
Speaker 1: first career sack, Mickey, you predicted it was a game off.
Speaker 1: It was there. Lindsay predicted it on cover four. Right.
Speaker 1: Lindsey's been holding to that for about three weeks now,
Speaker 1: But at some point you're gonna get when it happens,
Speaker 1: it happens regardless. Oh, you know, it was a nice
Speaker 1: effort on his part because he had gone to the
Speaker 1: outside and Alex Smith stepped up and he stepped inside
Speaker 1: and caught him. You know, nice job on his part
Speaker 1: to keep working and not lose energy and not lose
Speaker 1: his intensity. And I think that's what Rod Marinelli's been
Speaker 1: talking about him, you know, just let him go, Let
Speaker 1: them go. There's a lot of guys that were drafted
Speaker 1: in the first two rounds that hadn't had their first
Speaker 1: sack yet that were true defense events. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: like on the TV's and extras. Of course you guys
Speaker 1: can't see it, but I'll let you know their showing
Speaker 1: the potato sack race that Travis Kelsey just had to do.
Speaker 1: They obviously planned that, and after that the Cowboys outscored
Speaker 1: them fourteen. Oh so just got caught in their sacks
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Yeah, stupid stuff, stupid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: celebrations are stupid. I mean that coppiness is that that
Speaker 1: planned out? I'm sure if some Missouri Tiger guy was
Speaker 1: doing that, you'd been a Florida victory and throw it
Speaker 1: to the referee just the way you're he didn't do it,
Speaker 1: But tato sack race or anything. Yeah, I was a kid.
Speaker 1: They were kid, and I think he never had any
Speaker 1: fun as a kid. They were gonna kill Florida. Well,
Speaker 1: I liked it all right. He's a sweetie, he really is.
Speaker 1: I just adore him and Marcus Marcus Spears was the
Speaker 1: only one that figured it out too, But it was true, right,
Speaker 1: what a genius. He probably doesn't have any help with Oh,
Speaker 1: he just doesn't have all that sec bias like the
Speaker 1: other people on that show. Head Okay, now it was
Speaker 1: like you do Yeah, how about the first three for
Speaker 1: though for Kansas City for three? The first three uh
Speaker 1: possessions punt punt, punt, yeah, Cowboys were right there. In
Speaker 1: the first two series, they had two three and out
Speaker 1: to start the game. It looked like it was gonna
Speaker 1: be a six to three ball game. Should have been
Speaker 1: ten three at halftime. Someone just needs to score or
Speaker 1: ten ten? What was it, fourteen three, fourteen three? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's just you know, I just I just going
Speaker 1: into this game, I thought that Kansas City would be
Speaker 1: able to move the football. Well I really did, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I didn't know how Dallas was
Speaker 1: gonna say. I didn't know how Dallas. I thought Kansasy
Speaker 1: would make big plays, and they did and they limited.
Speaker 1: I mean that's what Dallas. You win this game. You
Speaker 1: limited because you gave you didn't give up any big plays.
Speaker 1: I went through and looked at it. I mean the
Speaker 1: fifty I mean we understand what happened in the final play, well,
Speaker 1: not counting that one. Yeah, they're explosive plays. Ten ten
Speaker 1: plus runs or twenty plus catch plays. Yeah, minus the
Speaker 1: one at the end of the half that I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll get into. They had four the entire game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill had a twelve yard run. Kelsey for twenty two,
Speaker 1: Thomas twenty two Kareem Hunt had a nineteen yard run once. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's a great breaking point, rob of course. Yes,
Speaker 1: we will get into that weird flukey play at the
Speaker 1: end of the half. We'll get into Zeke dez Dak

Speaker 1: didn't buy allow him out. I didn't buy into all
Speaker 1: his stuff. He ever gave you like a next question answer? No, No,
Speaker 1: he wanted to talk. Yeah, yeah, Hey. He even said
Speaker 1: that he used to tell those young dbs, Hey, sometimes
Speaker 1: you got to make a business decision, right, You're not
Speaker 1: You're not getting paid to make tackles, You're getting paid
Speaker 1: to make interceptions. Sure, so, I don't know why he
Speaker 1: got so upset about it. Well, it was hilarious because
Speaker 1: of what he said was so funny. Tony, Oh, God
Speaker 1: was good. Tony was funny. Talked about Peters turning down
Speaker 1: that tackle. Are you talking about the Dion retort? So good?
Speaker 1: I think it was hard for Tony to do that
Speaker 1: game yesterday. Sure, um sounded a little hard, do you
Speaker 1: think God? I thought he was okay. I mean I was, like,
Speaker 1: I think he was. I think he was. I think
Speaker 1: he was very self conscious of what he was going
Speaker 1: to say. Well, he had to be. He knew he
Speaker 1: had to be careful. I'm glad he's not doing the
Speaker 1: Fox Games, to be honest with you, like all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I think that would be very if they put
Speaker 1: him on. Now, maybe if he was Fox, he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be number one crew. Are you talking about how he
Speaker 1: has been on this team or for a long time
Speaker 1: for not a team, or how much he understands the scheme. Oh,
Speaker 1: he understands the scheme and everything, and so he had
Speaker 1: to be careful about that. But you know, when you're
Speaker 1: you're thinking about we and us, you know that. But
Speaker 1: he didn't do it. No, No, But I'm saying it's
Speaker 1: hard to do a broadcast. It seemed like to me,
Speaker 1: I've seen other broadcast where I kind of felt like
Speaker 1: he was more into it. You know. I thought he
Speaker 1: had a hard time not bringing up Nick and Sam's
Speaker 1: I felt, awko, he had to. Yeah, he had to
Speaker 1: get that one in the sponsors there, Water got water
Speaker 1: Boy in there. Yeah. I don't know, I just I
Speaker 1: don't know, I've heard him. I just felt like that
Speaker 1: broadcast was a little different for him. Well were at
Speaker 1: the end he had to say, Kansas City will be okay.
Speaker 1: Well I didn't. I didn't listen to them. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: closing night. Listen to it. Up to it though, I mean,
Speaker 1: look the pregame video tribute Kank Garrison. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: clearly emotional. Right, you're watching that for a loop. There's
Speaker 1: still a lot of feeling about you know, absolutely great job,
Speaker 1: thank you for him coming back here, not being a
Speaker 1: player on this team anymore. So it's got to be
Speaker 1: I mean, it'll probably get easier. You know, he's got
Speaker 1: what thanksgivings the next one. Yeah, it'll get easier giving
Speaker 1: at home with his family. Yeah, it'll be all right.
Speaker 1: At least the Cowboys did better with his return than
Speaker 1: done meredis what happened there. Merediths first game back in
Speaker 1: seven is so sixty nine when the football started seven Monday,
Speaker 1: so they but it was well, his last year was
Speaker 1: sixty eight or sixty nine, sixty eight, So his first
Speaker 1: game back here as a broadcaster, Cowboys got beat three
Speaker 1: eight than nothing. So this was a little bit better.
Speaker 1: No video tribute there, Yeah, they didn't have video back
Speaker 1: though they didn't. Well, the Cowboys did win yesterday and
Speaker 1: we are still celebrating on this victory Monday, of course,
Speaker 1: beating the Chiefs and also beating them in so many
Speaker 1: different categories on the game, of course, having more total
Speaker 1: first downs twenty four verse seventeen. They had a fifty
Speaker 1: eight percent third down efficiency, which was good because his
Speaker 1: brain brought up earlier they were having some three ounce
Speaker 1: to start this game. Yeah, fine, only getting those seven
Speaker 1: out of twelve makes a huge difference in this game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought the past protection was outstanding in this game,
Speaker 1: and give the give the receivers a lot of credit
Speaker 1: for the routes they ran. Do you kind of feel
Speaker 1: like that Dak was pushing the ball a little bit
Speaker 1: though early, kind of kind of amped up, kind of
Speaker 1: maybe not being really comfortable with way he was throwing
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. Double fasts got away from him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought. I thought, you know, people talk about the
Speaker 1: sun and all that stuff like that. I just felt
Speaker 1: like there were some some kind of errant throws. All right,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that anymore. No, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying no, I'm saying not from you from them, tired
Speaker 1: of hearing it players their son There was son in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Yeah, you know, you go one direction in
Speaker 1: San Francisco to soun with. I saw him in warmups.
Speaker 1: They were sitting there like this trying to catch punts.
Speaker 1: I was like, war, are they practicing their fair catch? Ye?
Speaker 1: Switzer needed to you know, bone up on that. No,
Speaker 1: the sun was in his eyes. Yeah, so you know
Speaker 1: the water was in their eyes last week. Yeah. Oh
Speaker 1: I didn't catch the ball inside. It's a big deal
Speaker 1: because they're inside. It doesn't matter. There's still suns inside. Well,
Speaker 1: so what it's time for Mickey's mint it. You're outside
Speaker 1: and you have you have, you have. Elements did talk
Speaker 1: about it at length, Yeah, I know he did. And
Speaker 1: Bryce mention give it up. Hey, they're the ones trying
Speaker 1: to make catches out catch. We talk about something positive
Speaker 1: like their red zone efficiency. Catch the ball they did
Speaker 1: for the old Chiefs four or four in the red zone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: four or four. And you know what, Brian, you brought
Speaker 1: up the receivers. Let's get into them. Of course, Beasley
Speaker 1: as two touchdowns. Terence Williams has his first one hundred
Speaker 1: yard receiving game since twenty fifteen, and you know, Dez
Speaker 1: had some excellent catches as well. They really stepped up
Speaker 1: in this game. And what was the difference here. The
Speaker 1: difference was that Kansas City's Kansas City have as one
Speaker 1: corner that can really play and the rest of them can.
Speaker 1: Marcus Peter zone and that pass protection. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: past protection was good too. Yeah, I could say you
Speaker 1: watched the tape of that when Dak is Dak's got
Speaker 1: plenty of time, climbs the pocket a couple of times
Speaker 1: you're making rip throws down the middle of the field.
Speaker 1: You know you got time to throw the football, and
Speaker 1: you know you got guys running good routes. Can't see
Speaker 1: secondary though it's not very good other than Marcus Peters
Speaker 1: and really isn't. But and he had enough time in
Speaker 1: the pocket. Yeah, Like the first touchdown pass to Beasley
Speaker 1: right when he was looking for Dez and the safety
Speaker 1: went over there and he says, all right, bees, beat
Speaker 1: your guy up the middle and the wide open in
Speaker 1: the end zone. So free access on routes and the
Speaker 1: other thing I think they started getting concerned about, especially
Speaker 1: when they got into the red zone, was Dak running
Speaker 1: the Football's gonna say that it's not just red zone.
Speaker 1: I mean the first pass you mentioned to Beasley for
Speaker 1: the touchdown, that was play action again. And then what
Speaker 1: was the long pass to Terrence for fifty six yards?
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was on the run. On
Speaker 1: the run and he was a he was a yard
Speaker 1: away from going over the line of scrimmage on app
Speaker 1: I had to go back and look because I yeah,
Speaker 1: he would I said, yeah, ran a long rate. You
Speaker 1: talk about having awareness on both ends, the quarterback having
Speaker 1: the awareness where he was in the field and the
Speaker 1: receiver for having the awareness to stay and bounce that
Speaker 1: that could have been very easy for Terrence to drift,
Speaker 1: you know, as much as he likes to body catch
Speaker 1: the ball and adjust and all, he was able to
Speaker 1: catch the ball in his hands and then get up
Speaker 1: the sidelines. That's what you have to have right there,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna make those huge plays. I'm
Speaker 1: always impressed with terrance disability when plays break down for
Speaker 1: him to find space, and that was him just breaking
Speaker 1: off his route. Yeah. I mean you can see the sidelines.
Speaker 1: Everybody's pointing when Dak's running. Everybody points deep and there's
Speaker 1: Terrance standing there waiting for the football. So you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's a great job. We've seen him do it
Speaker 1: with the toe drag. We've seen him do it in
Speaker 1: tight spaces. He's got that ability to play along the sidelines,
Speaker 1: and I think that's a nice trade to have. You know,
Speaker 1: that was their first hundred yard or receiving game. It
Speaker 1: had been fifteen games since they'd have one. Right, we're
Speaker 1: going back to last year too, right, so it's been
Speaker 1: a while since the receivers have had one big game.
Speaker 1: But again, when you have you run and you run
Speaker 1: the foot the football, right, Yeah, you're never gonna have
Speaker 1: big numbers here as a receiver. Yeah, You're You're not.
Speaker 1: You're just not. Yeah, And of course an update there.
Speaker 1: We still do not have exact We don't have an
Speaker 1: exact answer of what happened to Dez and Terrence injury wise.
Speaker 1: We're hearing that they're fine. I'm sure that Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: will clear some things up at three pm today, but
Speaker 1: no one knows for surever shirt looks like ankles for both,
Speaker 1: but we just don't have exact diagnosis. For Terrence, it's
Speaker 1: the ankle that he I think it was the first
Speaker 1: play of the season. Yeah, we rolled it up and
Speaker 1: it's been bothering him and he got it aggravated in
Speaker 1: the game last night. Deaz said he's just sore. Structurally,
Speaker 1: he's okay. We'll see how the week goes on. And
Speaker 1: Terrence was walking just fine after the game. Matter of fact,
Speaker 1: on the bench, he was walking just fine. He kind
Speaker 1: of walked it off. So I think the concern would
Speaker 1: be tyring with the with the groin. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: MRI scheduled. Yeah, that was Jaz Green late in that
Speaker 1: one yesterday, and then and then Brian Price. Brian Price
Speaker 1: is probably in trouble because it's located. Knee dislocated his
Speaker 1: knee cap. Yeah, never fun. It did not look good. Well,
Speaker 1: he brushes on the way out. It even looked worse
Speaker 1: when he was trying to get in the car that
Speaker 1: they pulled up for him and the passenger seat and
Speaker 1: he couldn't get He couldn't get himself in. Somebody had
Speaker 1: to physically lift his legs and turn it into the seat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Richard ashe not fun. Now the other guy, we don't know.
Speaker 1: It's another week, another Monday where we're sitting here excited
Speaker 1: about Zeke's play yesterday, but still unsure if he is
Speaker 1: exactly eligible to play this next Sunday at Atlanta. Of course,
Speaker 1: his hearing is this Thursday, said at one pm Central time.
Speaker 1: So here we are. Yeah, well back again, and I
Speaker 1: find out Thursday. We might find out Friday. You think
Speaker 1: you'd know by the end of the week what his
Speaker 1: next fate. So that means he can practice Wednesday and
Speaker 1: Thursday if the hearing's nut to Yeah, done with practice.
Speaker 1: They saved him on a Friday last week. They'll have
Speaker 1: the opportunity maybe to end it on the Hill Mary
Speaker 1: was converted and it was a beautiful site for all
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, unfortunately saw a difference. We gotta have
Speaker 1: to come up with a name for that play. It's
Speaker 1: not a Hail Mary at half hill Mary, the Hill Mary,
Speaker 1: the Hill Marry, that's what they called it. Yes, the
Speaker 1: Hill Mary. Let's get into it. How did that happen? Now?
Speaker 1: You had seven defenders inside your own fifteen yard line.
Speaker 1: They threw the ball underneath, which was a smart thing
Speaker 1: to do, and you put it in a playmaker's hands.
Speaker 1: That's even Yeah, well that's you know, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's they throw screens and stuff all the time. Give
Speaker 1: give the the Chiefs a lot of credit for a
Speaker 1: understanding who they needed to put the ball, because with
Speaker 1: him with a running start, it's just like a punt
Speaker 1: return or a kickoff return, whatever you want to do
Speaker 1: with him, and he freezes defenders the way that his
Speaker 1: running style is. You freeze and you you're afraid to
Speaker 1: like overcommit and a judge. They didn't attack. That's what
Speaker 1: they exactly right. They just they stood and watched and
Speaker 1: it was like hope, hope, hope, hope, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden and they had to react. You had,
Speaker 1: you know, and you have sew no Sean Lee on
Speaker 1: the field, and I believe Sean Lee had a thigh contusion.
Speaker 1: He was not on the field at all. So they
Speaker 1: had they had Anti Hitchens standing on the goal line,
Speaker 1: so he was one of the last line of defense.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were going to defend a Hale Mary.
Speaker 1: They were expecting something short maybe and then rally and
Speaker 1: they just when it went to Hill, he broke everybody down.
Speaker 1: He broke Hitchens over ran the play. The three blocks
Speaker 1: they got were on guys that can tackle the other.
Speaker 1: They said, okay, everybody else could could potentially miss these tackles.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was a it was a great play call.
Speaker 1: It was terribly executed on the Cowboys part. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna put seven guys inside the fifteen yard line, like
Speaker 1: Mickey says, attack the ball, just start up the field
Speaker 1: and attack the ball. They waited, they waited, and when
Speaker 1: by the time Hill got near the goal line or
Speaker 1: near the ten yard line, it was over. See here.
Speaker 1: Here was the first mistake. They showed Kansas City what
Speaker 1: they were gonna do. Yeah, so Kansas City, he said, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing a Hill married into that. They spotted
Speaker 1: him forty yards. Let's just throw it underneath. A second mistake.
Speaker 1: Wilson was the only guy that was between the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and the ten yard line, and he couldn't
Speaker 1: run back and he went forward for where were you going? Well,
Speaker 1: the thing I worried about Mickey, was he spying on
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Yeah, that's what I thought. But what was
Speaker 1: the quarterback introduced? Start running? I'd have taken my chance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's smith running. That might been. That's where I had
Speaker 1: my question about because I agree with you because if
Speaker 1: it was me, I would have just immediately turned and run.
Speaker 1: And he did. He started running, but he kind of
Speaker 1: gave up late in the you know as it was,
Speaker 1: but he got it. No man, he got no man
Speaker 1: slaying because he didn't chase. And then you had a
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that just did not react. I mean
Speaker 1: they just said they built like they were trying to
Speaker 1: build a wall. We'd seen the Cowboys tackle where there
Speaker 1: was a play in this game where all three linebackers
Speaker 1: were on the tackle. They were playing bass. You got Wilson, Lee,
Speaker 1: and Hitchens all in a tow when it was when
Speaker 1: it went to the running back, ball goes underneath all
Speaker 1: three of them right there. That they got That's what
Speaker 1: they failed to do. And one Scandrick missed him. It
Speaker 1: was like, all right, but the worst miss, the worst
Speaker 1: miss was Hitchens. Yeah, the ended when Hitchens overran the play.
Speaker 1: That was it because you know, but they they took
Speaker 1: out the guys that could potentially tackle, like Heath, guys
Speaker 1: like that. They let Lewis play play free. Scandrick got
Speaker 1: to play free, you know. So it was the mother
Speaker 1: of all prevase. So I've got I've got I've got
Speaker 1: the now the next play off of that once I
Speaker 1: I do that, and I got my guy running down
Speaker 1: like that and they're all down there. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: another guy and have him run on the other side
Speaker 1: of the throwing the ball, and didn't throw him the
Speaker 1: ball when everybody decides, oh, I better converge on this guy.
Speaker 1: They tried to do that in a way that if
Speaker 1: you watched, there was one of the punt returns Robinson
Speaker 1: was supposed to but Robinson was the guy that made
Speaker 1: the two blocks. Yeah, Robinson waved him on over. Robinson
Speaker 1: said follow me, and then that's where he got the bucks. No,
Speaker 1: but if you remember the second punt return they had,
Speaker 1: they had twin safeties. Go back and watch this I
Speaker 1: wrote about last night because I noticed it yesterday. Then
Speaker 1: the game twin safeties and Hi'll faked like he was
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball, like he's up like and he
Speaker 1: acts like he's just gonna receive the ball to try
Speaker 1: and draw everybody over and then they're gonna run up
Speaker 1: the sidelines. Okay, So like it was like he was
Speaker 1: trying to lure the the the punt team over. That
Speaker 1: was the play that Fraser made where he slammed slammed
Speaker 1: Robinson on the play. But they but you see you
Speaker 1: see Hill on the other side, he's drifting like, Okay,
Speaker 1: they pay such attention to me that I'm gonna draw
Speaker 1: defenders away. Cowboys did a nice job of playing what
Speaker 1: they needed to. Have you ever seen that? Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: seen it. I've seen it work. Seen it work. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I've seen it work. Go back, you can, you can
Speaker 1: YouTube it. I think the Bears actually did it in
Speaker 1: a game. I feel like I've seen it before the Bears. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well they did it with They did it with Hester Hester. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go back and watch the Bear so work. If you've
Speaker 1: got a transcendent type re turner, yeah, somebody's gonna somebody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna draw all the coverage to him. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a hell of a call by Andy Reid that.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just they and they've got the ball
Speaker 1: in the perfect guy's hands to handle that. They got
Speaker 1: somebody with the ball that totally breaks down your defense
Speaker 1: and freezes it. I mean, just think of the percentages, right,
Speaker 1: if you throw it. What are the percentages of completing
Speaker 1: the ball? Not very much, right, right, But if you
Speaker 1: do that, you least give yourself a chance chance, which
Speaker 1: goes back to my distain for backing off on third
Speaker 1: and twenty, but letting him throw the ball underneath and
Speaker 1: run with it. Was that what it's called? Well, what
Speaker 1: was this Money's fifty six basically needed fifteen yards to
Speaker 1: score touchdown because forty was spotted to them. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: You only took anything till that's all. Yeah. And if
Speaker 1: you get a mistackle and a guy's not in position
Speaker 1: to get other tackles or a tempt tackles, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a that gets credit for a touchdown pass like
Speaker 1: it's playing. And you wonder why Alex Smith now has
Speaker 1: a rating of over eight yards of an attempt. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I talked about last week that that one play saved
Speaker 1: his quarterback dating in that game. Sure it did. When
Speaker 1: I looked at I said, how can you be that high?
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, yeah, he had a fifty
Speaker 1: six yards. We talked about last week. He is a
Speaker 1: He is a guy that's willing to throw the ball
Speaker 1: underneath and let people run with it. They didn't have
Speaker 1: their first completion to a wide receiver until their second
Speaker 1: possession in the second quarter, so there was about there
Speaker 1: was no no, there was about ten nine or ten
Speaker 1: minutes left in the second quarter and he completed a
Speaker 1: first pass to a wide receiver on a second and eight,
Speaker 1: So they were I mean, He'll only had two catches
Speaker 1: right right, two catches. Everything was to the running backs
Speaker 1: in the tight end. Yes, they try to use him
Speaker 1: as a running back to a couple of different times.
Speaker 1: That didn't work out very well. So great job defensively,
Speaker 1: but we were prepared. One chunk play in the entire game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they they the Kelsey Hill, the weapons that they took
Speaker 1: those weapons out of the game. That's that's how you
Speaker 1: win it. Yeah. Well, Dak Prescott did win the Mullin Bowl.
Speaker 1: They did the Dan Mullen Love Appreciation Bowl. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they both got text. But Dak Prescott is one of
Speaker 1: only two players in the Super Bowl era to record
Speaker 1: thirty five plus passing touchdowns and ten rushing touchdowns in
Speaker 1: his Sam Newton right the other one, ye, Cam Newton
Speaker 1: is the other guy. He's a weapon. He's an absolute weapon.
Speaker 1: And his running ability we talked about earlier. It freezes
Speaker 1: defenses and it allows guys to get open in space.
Speaker 1: It's um we never I don't know if we talk
Speaker 1: enough about how second and ten, second and ten they
Speaker 1: run a read option for thirteen yards. Yeah, think about that.
Speaker 1: Second and ten, for ninety percent of the teams in
Speaker 1: the National Football League is to throw. Yeah, we gotta
Speaker 1: get this. We gotta get at least half. We gotta
Speaker 1: get you know, we gotta find a way. No, they
Speaker 1: call a read option. Jason Witton on an arc release
Speaker 1: gets outside and next you know, the thing's thirteen yards
Speaker 1: down the field. So they did a good job of
Speaker 1: I bet of studying Kansas City's tendencies on Okay, here's
Speaker 1: what they do on second and ten. And I thought,
Speaker 1: you know, Jason said it about three times yesterday. The
Speaker 1: job Lenahan did absolutely with those calls getting him to
Speaker 1: run the ball. You want to overcommit, Okay, here you go,
Speaker 1: because they were starting to blitz quite a bit. And
Speaker 1: by the way, Zeke did a heck of a job
Speaker 1: picking up blitzes chopped him down right. Yep. Our guy
Speaker 1: that got one day of practice, yea. And I was
Speaker 1: watching and he was hanging in there and taking those
Speaker 1: guys on. Yep, he sure was. It did a really
Speaker 1: nice job. Absolutely. Well, let's take our final break here

Speaker 1: and we're talking Papa John's Pizza. Of course on a Monday,
Speaker 1: when we're all hungry, hungry, we understand how good that
Speaker 1: pizza is. The ingredients, the pepperoni, everything's one hundred percent perfect.
Speaker 1: And when you have ingredients like that, you have better pizza.
Speaker 1: And it's Papa John's that is awesome. But you know
Speaker 1: what's even better is Rob's Twitter poll. Yes, all right,
Speaker 1: I got three options for you. A couple three streaks,
Speaker 1: in fact, not counting the Cowboys three game win streak
Speaker 1: that came out of this game on Sunday, which is
Speaker 1: most impressive. Zeke has three straight games with a touchdown.
Speaker 1: David Irving has four straight games with a sack, all
Speaker 1: four games that he's played in since the suspension ended,
Speaker 1: or the Cowboys as a whole, six games in a
Speaker 1: row with at least twenty eight points scored. What's most
Speaker 1: impressive to y'all, Well, we saw the red zone efficiency
Speaker 1: last year. Hoping that it was going to carry on
Speaker 1: over here. I think I have to go with David
Speaker 1: Irving sacks because yes, okay, you know, so let's see
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that he's faced. C J. Beathard, Kirk Cousins, okay,
Speaker 1: and obviously Alex Smith yesterday, and then who's the one
Speaker 1: before that, Aaron Aaron? Yeah, Aaron Rodgers pretty good. So
Speaker 1: granted as sex or not, I have to go to
Speaker 1: David Irving. I think you know, Zeke has scored touchdowns.
Speaker 1: You're talking about red zone efficiency. I kind of think
Speaker 1: those go hand in hand a little bit. I expect
Speaker 1: him to do that. Yeah, despite everything he's dealing with
Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, I'm gonna go with the old
Speaker 1: Irving down. All his touchdowns rushing aren't in the red zone.
Speaker 1: Most of them are, many of them. Yeah. Well, this
Speaker 1: is a good question because I'm sitting here thinking the
Speaker 1: twenty eight points I got the game because if you
Speaker 1: run the ball genius over here. Traditionally, if you run
Speaker 1: the ball a lot in the National Football League, you
Speaker 1: don't score points. You kind of keep you know, you're
Speaker 1: grinding it out. You're you're not scoring a lot of
Speaker 1: points every possession. So the fact that they continually run
Speaker 1: the ball as successfully as they do and score points.
Speaker 1: That's the one I think that that's the most impressive
Speaker 1: to me. It must be pointed out that in the
Speaker 1: Washington game a defensive touchdown got them over that Hume. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's okay buying large offense. Yeah, that's okay. But
Speaker 1: I'm just saying though, to me, it's you know, you're
Speaker 1: you're talking about as many weapons as they have, though,
Speaker 1: but running the football's successfully as they do, again, you
Speaker 1: don't score a lot of points. Taking that path, I'll
Speaker 1: go with the points. The six consecutive twenty eight point
Speaker 1: games ties a club record for most in a row
Speaker 1: and last achieve ten years ago in two thousand and
Speaker 1: seven when they won thirteen games won the division. So
Speaker 1: I will take the twenty eight point streak. And that
Speaker 1: vote got fifty five percent, followed by David Irving forty
Speaker 1: two percent. No love for Zeke, just taking him for
Speaker 1: granted three percent of the vote. How you expect that
Speaker 1: from him? Yeah, and you should, You absolutely should. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Even winning is a day of practice and just comes
Speaker 1: running in here. I think I think you should include
Speaker 1: a fourth Mickey's choice and see how many people trust
Speaker 1: me to come up with something that's the best. Uh see,
Speaker 1: if I get more two percent judgment called Oh no,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that. No, come on, let you
Speaker 1: take it over, Mickey. I can confide where to do
Speaker 1: the poll. Oh he could do his minute. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: hadn't done that in about three months. But you know,
Speaker 1: do we take Zeke for granted? No? No, I'm kidding,
Speaker 1: I mean no, no, I'm just I'm just saying though that.
Speaker 1: You know the fans though, do they take Zeke for grant?
Speaker 1: I can call it this segment Brian's bomb. It's where
Speaker 1: he just comes in. Crazy question here. I'll say this.
Speaker 1: I thought the turning point of the game was their
Speaker 1: first drive of the second half, and it was vintage
Speaker 1: Zeke if you want to call it that. Okay, Kansas
Speaker 1: City scores another touchdown fourteen unanswered. Cowboys are reeling right there.
Speaker 1: Play at the end of the half. Then Kansas City
Speaker 1: comes out. They're getting going offensively, they're getting some chunk plays,
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys go back to what they do offensively.
Speaker 1: That's so successful. Twelve plays, seventy five yards, five and
Speaker 1: a half minutes. Zeke had seven carries for thirty three
Speaker 1: yards on that drive, kind of just controling the pace,
Speaker 1: gets the touchdown, and it's like, okay, they're there. They're
Speaker 1: still executing at a level that they're not going to
Speaker 1: lose this football game. And that was all that was
Speaker 1: mostly him, I thought, But didn't you think it first
Speaker 1: and goal from the six that he's he's scoring. He
Speaker 1: just took it for granted he's gonna score. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: he had to run it once twice, three times, he's scoring.
Speaker 1: Don't get me in third and short. Yeah, No, don't
Speaker 1: get me in that or even fourth, fourth that Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm handed it to him. Yeah, and you know, there
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of fancy runs in this one, ninety
Speaker 1: three yards. It's surprising because like everybody, we talk about
Speaker 1: what do you have to do to stop the run?
Speaker 1: You have to commit to stop in the run. And
Speaker 1: Kansas City played that, played that card. They did right
Speaker 1: from the start, right, that's why they had those first Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tay mentioned three and outs, Yeah they were. They played
Speaker 1: that sacking the line of from and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Dak made some great throws, kind of loosening things up
Speaker 1: a little bit there. Yeah, Mickey and I were joking,
Speaker 1: you know. Mickey said the other day, first one of
Speaker 1: forty wins, He's like, can they just get to any
Speaker 1: points here? Yeah? Any points? Great? First one to forty
Speaker 1: wins and there was going to be fourteen and three
Speaker 1: at a half timest one like you kick or clang
Speaker 1: and went off the upright. They're two for two on uprights. Gosh,
Speaker 1: why why explain to me why I saw Dan Bailey
Speaker 1: working on the field. Why a guy that has a
Speaker 1: a a prominent look, why do they put him on
Speaker 1: the left Why do they put him on the left hand.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm with you on that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just hope it doesn't come to that. It's what
Speaker 1: I said last week, and y'all got mad at me,
Speaker 1: wet blanket Rob. Yeah, yeah, what I didn't get mad
Speaker 1: at you? I said. I said, Hey, all I want
Speaker 1: is extra points. Yeah, just give me the point bill.
Speaker 1: Goals are a bonus. Yeah, that's place good. Yesterday, let's
Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. We have Michael from California
Speaker 1: on the line. Michael, what is your question? He looks
Speaker 1: like we lost Michael. Call back, Michael. At least I
Speaker 1: thought that was gonna be Michael on our lego, Brian
Speaker 1: Michael sounds a little like Miles Austen. Miles Auster was
Speaker 1: giving you Somers airtime in that game yesterday because he
Speaker 1: kept going back to the two thousand and nine game,
Speaker 1: and it was like every time they showed Miles Austin,
Speaker 1: he was obviously not prepared for the camera so well
Speaker 1: for the first time they gave him, they gave him
Speaker 1: an earpiece. Yeah, he was actually listening to what's going
Speaker 1: on thing in. Yeah, I don't know if he was
Speaker 1: had a had a microphone. The best d got, Kent,
Speaker 1: it's the best drop you got. Here's a question for
Speaker 1: you guys that um. I was kind of wondering who
Speaker 1: had a who was more important to that victory yesterday,
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams or Cole Beasley. A good question, Kent. Terrence
Speaker 1: Williams to me, not just the yardage that he had,
Speaker 1: but it's Zeke gave him credit again for he's blocking
Speaker 1: those safeties downhill and those running plays, and that's the
Speaker 1: stuff people don't see that he usually provides. It's he's
Speaker 1: at his cherry on top. Was he was making big
Speaker 1: plays in the passing game this time, and he dealt
Speaker 1: with the sideline very well at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: got the pass, got the first down, and fell down down.
Speaker 1: That's some football intelligence about that two white Longhorn. Yes,
Speaker 1: a lot of teammates happy for him after that game.
Speaker 1: I think they recognize he doesn't get enough credit for
Speaker 1: some other things. I said it on the postgame show. Hint,
Speaker 1: he and Tyron Crawford get beat up more than any
Speaker 1: two players on this team. Jeff Heath. Jeff Heath gets
Speaker 1: beat up way more. I don't think. I don't think Jeff.
Speaker 1: I don't think Jeff Heath gets beat up as much
Speaker 1: as those two guys more anymore. Wool Maybe throw a
Speaker 1: Tacca in there too, and then Micky who's the whipping boat.
Speaker 1: But I know, I you know, I respect what you're saying.
Speaker 1: But I think fans clearly go after t will clearly
Speaker 1: go after him, and they clearly go after Tyron Crawford,
Speaker 1: and they go after Byron Jones. Is Byron Jones the
Speaker 1: new one? He's a He's a new one on at
Speaker 1: least on social media. Upset with you know that last
Speaker 1: drive before the half, the penalty that got him. That's
Speaker 1: why I asked you that today, Bro, because that's all
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday was everyone kind of like going in
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, because if that penalty doesn't happen, then
Speaker 1: what they get the ball at the end of that
Speaker 1: thing called game passed on Dallas Cowboys, Tom, feel free
Speaker 1: to click that on trial helmet off he did the
Speaker 1: block was expired. Well he just he just ripped his
Speaker 1: second penalty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not a good sequen. There's
Speaker 1: no time on the helmet off. You got to kick
Speaker 1: the extra point. Yeah, take the helmet off. Stephen Jones
Speaker 1: was just talking to our friends at the fan and
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Twitter and Stephen Jones, Jeff Kavanaugh says,
Speaker 1: says they may have lost Brian Price for the year. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a that's a that's a no. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now no defensive Yeah, how do you replace that? I mean,
Speaker 1: Mickey is right, you don't want to move Crawford back inside.
Speaker 1: You just don't want to do it. He's found a
Speaker 1: home on that on that christ Nick Hayden, next up,
Speaker 1: next Nail. Let's go, well, you might you'll have that
Speaker 1: spot probably, and you might even actually have another spot
Speaker 1: depending on what happens to Zeke. They can resign the
Speaker 1: guy they let they they can resign the guy they
Speaker 1: released off the practice squad, right right, Step, I can't
Speaker 1: say it, Stanley. Yeah, but he's in Pong ponga. He's
Speaker 1: a defensive end and Lewis Neil is not a nose tackle, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just more of a three. They kind
Speaker 1: of turned him into a three. Started off as a
Speaker 1: nose and then he saw his quickness. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what he is in practice though, just talking some folks.
Speaker 1: They really like what he's been able to do. Working
Speaker 1: against Zack Mark. He was the one guy that you know,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't win every single rep against Zack Martin and Camp,
Speaker 1: but he would win one out of four. And you're
Speaker 1: kind of like, man, maybe maybe, so maybe there's something
Speaker 1: that's the six foot guy can do. Yeah. Well, let's
Speaker 1: get back to the phone lines. We do have Mike
Speaker 1: from our Orlando now. So Mike, what is your question? Ay,
Speaker 1: good morning afternoon everybody. I hope you're doing well. A
Speaker 1: great game yesterday. Just a couple of quick things on
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. That guy he made so many plays after
Speaker 1: he is so smart. Watching him and rewatching the game
Speaker 1: pass last night, that guy just makes play after play
Speaker 1: after played that people don't even realize. I was glad
Speaker 1: Romo made a comment about him being underrated yesterday because
Speaker 1: he really is. And then secondly, do you think we
Speaker 1: may get a Cheeto back this week? And if we do,
Speaker 1: will that allow Byron to maybe just be more of
Speaker 1: a free safety player than than than what he's currently doing.
Speaker 1: Do you think that will help? I appreciate all your work, guys,
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Yes, as I told you guys
Speaker 1: that Stephen Jones was just talking to the fan. He
Speaker 1: also answered a Cheeto question, saying they should be getting
Speaker 1: Ricky Cheeto back here very soon. Yeah, he was out
Speaker 1: there soon obviously, big walking to the walking to the
Speaker 1: studio here. He was out there on the field with
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey working out. So hopefully Mickey said this the
Speaker 1: other day. You know, he's two times he's been on
Speaker 1: and off the field. You don't want to make it
Speaker 1: a third time. So make sure that he's absolutely ready
Speaker 1: to go. I think if you interesting to see how
Speaker 1: they play, because now they're starting to use Xavier Woods
Speaker 1: as a deep guy, and I don't know if they
Speaker 1: want to take Xavier Woods off the field, So I
Speaker 1: think you'll still have a situation where Byron plays down
Speaker 1: and sodos A Woozier both will play down in the slot,
Speaker 1: and so then you have to then, Okay, will that
Speaker 1: make your dime package better? Yeah, I'll make it a
Speaker 1: lot better probably, But I don't know how they really do.
Speaker 1: Like woods. Yeah, and so who do you take off
Speaker 1: the field? And I know everybody will say again, probably
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath. Take Jeff Heath off the field. But well,
Speaker 1: let's see how they how they play this though in
Speaker 1: the Green Bay game he was he was one of
Speaker 1: your guys. It was deep too, and I'm talking about Cheetoh,
Speaker 1: So let's see them. Woozier's present affects Byron Jones not
Speaker 1: at all. No, they answer, Yeah, that's suddenly like, got come.
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone's been talking about that recently and
Speaker 1: now it's like, okay, no, they're not parallels. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know it was you know, they've got guys. Yesterday the
Speaker 1: inactives came down to we were talking about that. Noah
Speaker 1: Brown to me was it was either him or march
Speaker 1: Lillard that was going to get taken off, and they
Speaker 1: went with the extra linebacker. So they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: figure that out once once Cheeto gets back. Who is
Speaker 1: that next? An active guy? And now Mickey Also Steven
Speaker 1: answered some questions about the sun that you also have.
Speaker 1: When they were asked about the sun's glare and what's
Speaker 1: been happening at at and T Stadium. It's almost becoming
Speaker 1: a joke now, and you know how it's affecting the guys,
Speaker 1: He said, we are continuing to look at technology we
Speaker 1: can implement. But yes, we still care about this and
Speaker 1: we will continue to evaluegy technology's to look at the technology.
Speaker 1: Isn't there ways that they can do the you can
Speaker 1: you can? You can you do those? We can fog
Speaker 1: we can fog cars, you could fog them, yeah, Or
Speaker 1: or you can you can you can make the glass maybe,
Speaker 1: or you can put up a curtain. Yeah, now is
Speaker 1: not going to allow you to do that. Why not,
Speaker 1: because then you have a choice of when you put
Speaker 1: the curtain up and when you don't leave it up
Speaker 1: the whole time. Oh, when the sun is peeking through
Speaker 1: big time? Well what if what if I have the
Speaker 1: U S Box and we go pull it down if
Speaker 1: I have Yeah, that's like opening up the door at
Speaker 1: Giant Stadium back in the dope the wind and let
Speaker 1: the tunnel. The wind come through the tunnel when you're cooking.
Speaker 1: You don't have the way to waste the tint glass. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe frost them. Yeah, it's excessive. Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well maybe you could have been there to help Macadoo
Speaker 1: when he was asked about what he told us. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, in other words, and in other words, then
Speaker 1: what if you wanted to open the doors, then you
Speaker 1: got to worry about the sun coming in, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm coming that way, Well let me close the doors.
Speaker 1: Now get a little chilly in here. Don't you ask
Speaker 1: Jason at three o'clock what what he thinks about the sun? Oh?
Speaker 1: Did you won't? Five billion, five billion year question right
Speaker 1: there here, you mickey? The sun has been here for
Speaker 1: how many million years? Is it billion? Or millions billion?
Speaker 1: You almost feel more for the fans than you do
Speaker 1: for the players, because the fans can't see the field. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in some place. I've stood on that end of the
Speaker 1: field down there, and it is tough. I mean I've
Speaker 1: looked back into that. I know the Denver game, Nick
Speaker 1: and I stood down there, and you can you do
Speaker 1: like a picture on your computer and push the button
Speaker 1: and everything rotates a quarter. No, can't rotate the field
Speaker 1: like the whole stadium like kind of move it like
Speaker 1: more like you see this kind of thing. See on
Speaker 1: the kickoff here, it's getting off sleep last night. On
Speaker 1: the kickoff here it says Cowboys win the toss and
Speaker 1: field chiefs. Chiefs choose to defend the north end zone.
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, where's the north end zone? Oh,
Speaker 1: there's not a north end zone. But I think in
Speaker 1: the program for these it's either north or south. Every
Speaker 1: fields probably north and south right right, with the exception
Speaker 1: of the LA Coliseum, Right, the LA Coliseum was built
Speaker 1: over one hundred years ago though, so it would be Uh,
Speaker 1: it's the only other fielder than the Cowboys. It sits
Speaker 1: east to wear. San Francisco needs to rethink. There's because
Speaker 1: the noon start early started out there at one o'clock. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it angered Ham. The sun was coming right out of
Speaker 1: the south. Does anyone know if they fix the roof
Speaker 1: a better worried about that five by five spot on
Speaker 1: the Oh yeah, they will stand right in that spot.
Speaker 1: Is that the weather's coming down? Not having it? Not
Speaker 1: having it? Am I worried about that? Or am I
Speaker 1: worried about you know some aj Green Jalen Ramsey type activity.
Speaker 1: Are we worried about the field freezing in Green Bay?
Speaker 1: M what you guys, everybody all of a sudden now
Speaker 1: worried about the elements? Oh what what? It's snow Green Bay? Right?
Speaker 1: This is the field freezes in Green Bay. You're the
Speaker 1: one who's just been ranting about the sun and the sun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said, would deal with it. You deal with a
Speaker 1: frozen field, you deal with snow. What other what other
Speaker 1: sport has to deal with elements? They canceled games. They
Speaker 1: don't play based soccer, right, they don't water down the
Speaker 1: court in the NBA like I told you and say
Speaker 1: all that dead spots guys, deal with that old Boston
Speaker 1: guard at dead right, Yeah, that would be. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like that thing that happened. Remember when the air
Speaker 1: conditioning went out the Spurs, Oh gosh, and everyone was
Speaker 1: dying and sweating and nobody could play. And then what
Speaker 1: did you want them to say? Well, they could be
Speaker 1: playing this game outside, and I agree, heat Well, they
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been. They were inside. They shouldn't have had
Speaker 1: to worry about that. I think that's kind of the
Speaker 1: point drop the knowledge he could be avoided, right, right,
Speaker 1: can it? Oh? Yeah, do you put a do you
Speaker 1: put a shade at the other end too. Let's go
Speaker 1: down to talk about something positive. Way too much time
Speaker 1: on the sun as we end our show, Let's talk
Speaker 1: about Tomba Holly giving some mad props to the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: saying that they are the best team in the NFC,
Speaker 1: even better than the Eagles, who were, of course eight
Speaker 1: and one. Yeah, what do you guys think? You think that's? Well?
Speaker 1: They they they they yeah, they beat the Eagles, so,
Speaker 1: you know, and then loose the Cowboys. But yeah, I mean, hey, players,
Speaker 1: you know a guy like that, you know, he hasn't
Speaker 1: played I mean, he hasn't played for him, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you know he but he's a veteran player. He understands,
Speaker 1: you know he's saying, yeah, I think that he I
Speaker 1: think that he saw what we all saw was that
Speaker 1: somebody slowed down their offense. And that's where I mean.
Speaker 1: And defensively, he knew they were gonna be in trouble
Speaker 1: because they hadn't really stopped the run well, but they
Speaker 1: had to be pressed with Dak Prescott in his ability
Speaker 1: to throw the football the way he did the receivers
Speaker 1: the plays they made. But I think if you're Kansas City,
Speaker 1: you look at your offense and go what happened in
Speaker 1: this game? And you know, and the Cowboys came into
Speaker 1: that game, you know, we all had our questions about
Speaker 1: not so much the pass rush, but the run defense,
Speaker 1: tackling things like that, all the things they needed to
Speaker 1: do in that football game. Get a turnover. It worked
Speaker 1: out for him, you know, So give them credit. And
Speaker 1: if he saw it because of their offense getting shut down,
Speaker 1: well then he's absolutely right. Well they beat Philadelphia. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the difference. And we're watching the twenty sixteen Cowboys
Speaker 1: offense right now. They are absolutely rolling. And when you
Speaker 1: get the defense playing this, well, this is the type
Speaker 1: of team that can go on a run. They've gone
Speaker 1: what happens with Zeke of course, they've gone from the
Speaker 1: twenty first ranked defense after they're back to back losses
Speaker 1: to fourteenth in three weeks. Yeah, so they're moving the
Speaker 1: right direction. They absolutely are. And we will be back
Speaker 1: here in the SWBC Mortgage studio tomorrow, same time, same place,
Speaker 1: same people, And there's no Mickey's choice, but Mickey will
Speaker 1: be I think that would be a popular pick in
Speaker 1: his own mind. People say no, we'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Join us. Then, thank you so much for tuning in
Speaker 1: on this victory Monday,
