Speaker 1: Sunday night you've got a Buffalo Kansas City game on
Speaker 1: CBS at three twenty five. Those are two four and
Speaker 1: one teams, the only four and one teams in the AFC,
Speaker 1: and over in the NFC. The only unbeaten team in
Speaker 1: the league right now, the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the four
Speaker 1: and one Dallas Cowboys. There's only I think one other
Speaker 1: four and one team in the entire league. No, there's
Speaker 1: two more, the Giants, two more the Giants. Giants. That's
Speaker 1: the other thing. The Giants play the Ravens. Also on
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon and the raven and Dallas time. Right Ravens
Speaker 1: are three and four and one, and then there's one
Speaker 1: other four and one team in the league. That little
Speaker 1: trivia question. As we start today's show, Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Mickey Spagnola, they are all confused. No, I'm on it.
Speaker 1: You fat it? You got who got? You got the
Speaker 1: You have the Vikings? Yea, there it is. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Vikings yep four and one. They play again in Miami
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, yep. Three and two. That can be
Speaker 1: an upset. And can you find another four and one team?
Speaker 1: Four and one team? That would be? You said the Giants.
Speaker 1: We said the Giants, four and one Giants, Bills, Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and Cowboys. And so it's here's your here's your schedule
Speaker 1: for Sunday. Yes, schedule the Right Ravens and the four
Speaker 1: and one Giants at noon on CBS at three twenty
Speaker 1: five on CBS, you got the four and one Bills
Speaker 1: and the four and one Chiefs, and then Sunday night
Speaker 1: you got the four and one Cowboys at the five
Speaker 1: and o Eagles. People are going to be worn out
Speaker 1: by time the Sunday night game starts. Here's the development.
Speaker 1: He's kind of related to that. So what's the tight end?
Speaker 1: His name Greg Alson. Yes, he's now the number one
Speaker 1: guy analyst. He's the number one guy now yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: now that Troy went, what happened? What happened to Darrel
Speaker 1: Johnston car Well, actually, Darryl is I always thought he
Speaker 1: was really good. I think he's basically on the number
Speaker 1: two team, right. How did Olsen jump ahead of him? Well,
Speaker 1: here's what happened with Darryl. Darrel was great. Darrel was
Speaker 1: climbing the charts, and then he got set back a
Speaker 1: little bit, and then now he's on the rise. He's
Speaker 1: on the rise again. We have been heading for a
Speaker 1: game yet right now, and we need him for a game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know. One of the things with him, you know
Speaker 1: he uh, Daryl Johnston was the man in charge of
Speaker 1: the the revival of the USFL and the TV contract
Speaker 1: that was involved in that on Fox and everything. And
Speaker 1: I think the Fox executives, you know, were working with
Speaker 1: Daryl on that and they figured out, you know, guy,
Speaker 1: this guy's pretty sharp, like we've known for thirty years.
Speaker 1: And I think and his stock is once again rising
Speaker 1: at the network because those executives have been around him
Speaker 1: enough to know that, hey, it's unusual that he doesn't
Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt, you know, right, Well,
Speaker 1: that's it's with age, you know, that's his hair is
Speaker 1: too great. There you go. All right, So here we are,
Speaker 1: and there's still so a lot we could get to
Speaker 1: about the Sunday win against the Rams. But there's so
Speaker 1: much to look forward to Sunday night against the Eagles too.
Speaker 1: I s's so much to talk about last night. The quarterbacks. Man,
Speaker 1: what are we doing with the qbs? I mean, are
Speaker 1: we gonna consider them football players? Are we just gonna
Speaker 1: consider them? I'm glad you went there ever soon, because
Speaker 1: that's where my wife was going. You know, she's a
Speaker 1: Texas Tech grad and there's so many of those Texas
Speaker 1: Tech grads who are into those Kansas City Chiefs. And
Speaker 1: so she is watching she's watching Cowboys and now she's
Speaker 1: watching the Kansas City Chiefs because of my homes. And
Speaker 1: she just got so mad last night. She just went
Speaker 1: to bed after after that penalty and with the one
Speaker 1: against Jones, against Chris Jones. Yeah, I just don't understand it.
Speaker 1: She can't understand it either. I mean, you can you
Speaker 1: can protect quarterbacks without ruining the game and without being
Speaker 1: so involved in it as as an official that you
Speaker 1: are the reason for the outcome of the game. You
Speaker 1: don't want to be a part of the game. You
Speaker 1: want to be seamless. It's like you're not even there.
Speaker 1: And right now, referees are really injecting themselves into into
Speaker 1: ball games unnecessarily. I think they're paranoid, like if we
Speaker 1: missed that call. The two other things, yeah, same thing,
Speaker 1: such a difference though you can kind of see it.
Speaker 1: It's right there, the two a thing. He had a
Speaker 1: history which went back seven days, well less than that,
Speaker 1: but back four days, and you can see how he
Speaker 1: went down. You know, you have to use your own
Speaker 1: common sense as you judge to play as you judge
Speaker 1: to play. Right there, in real time, Tom Brady was
Speaker 1: not under any drest. I don't know why he got
Speaker 1: upset about the sack. First of all, he seemed like
Speaker 1: he tried to kick the guy when when he was
Speaker 1: getting up off of him. I don't know what that
Speaker 1: was all about. I don't know if that had anything
Speaker 1: to do with the referee throwing the flag, because there's
Speaker 1: in no way Brady was treated like two of and
Speaker 1: then you look at last night with Car the same thing.
Speaker 1: Not only did he not land on him, he stripped
Speaker 1: him of the ball. So when you strip someone of
Speaker 1: the ball, the quarterback is no longer an issue, you know.
Speaker 1: Now you have the man with the ball, and that
Speaker 1: to me is the priority of the entire The other
Speaker 1: thing is, when you've got the ball cradled in your arm,
Speaker 1: you cannot you cannot stop your fall. Okay, you stop
Speaker 1: it with your left hand, And it almost looked like
Speaker 1: his left hand he was trying to let Car down
Speaker 1: easy in my opinion. Now listen, so when do we Okay,
Speaker 1: if I'm three hundred and fifty or three dwhere dude,
Speaker 1: that's what gives me like, Okay, I felt on him
Speaker 1: with all my weight? Well, how do I use partial weight? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How do you following some one using halfway? I don't
Speaker 1: understand that. And it's not like because he's got the ball, right,
Speaker 1: I mean you got to tackle him. How many times
Speaker 1: do Cooper rest get sacked in the game three? Did
Speaker 1: we look at his sax? Have we looked at his sacks?
Speaker 1: Did they? Did they look? As it was he landed
Speaker 1: on he almost got killed by Ramsey. I don't even
Speaker 1: remember if Ramsey landed on him or not, but I
Speaker 1: know that the ball, thank god, was like right there,
Speaker 1: fell on top of it. So come on, that might
Speaker 1: have been called in the Grady Jarrett tackle of Brady.
Speaker 1: I mean I thought he was taking care of Brady
Speaker 1: as he took him down. He hadn't slung him. But
Speaker 1: but but I mean, he's tall, you go with him.
Speaker 1: He had to. He had to. Oh it's killing me, man,
Speaker 1: I mean end it affected the outcome of the game.
Speaker 1: It affected the outcome of the game. It's almost like
Speaker 1: they're erring on the side of oh, if I don't
Speaker 1: call this something in trouble because it's a bit top
Speaker 1: of mind right now after what happened with two, I
Speaker 1: would feel safe as a referee, and if I did
Speaker 1: not make that call, I would be okay with it.
Speaker 1: I would not feel like I was in fear of
Speaker 1: not going, you know, going further into the playoffs as
Speaker 1: a referee. Okay, So I think what they need to do,
Speaker 1: and they won't, but they need to have an eye
Speaker 1: in the sky. Well they sort of do that. They
Speaker 1: need to with the authority. Yeah that if there is
Speaker 1: an egregious mistake made like that that they and and
Speaker 1: it's and it's a judgment call, just like it's a
Speaker 1: judgment call on the field, And don't put the official
Speaker 1: in the position where he has to make that judgment
Speaker 1: call in real time spur of the moment. Like that,
Speaker 1: you have the benefit of replay up top. And it
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a challenge or anything like that.
Speaker 1: It's just you have an observer at every single game,
Speaker 1: the eye in the sky and when something like that happens,
Speaker 1: and it can be the other away. I mean, let's
Speaker 1: say that the too a thing happens and the official
Speaker 1: doesn't make the call on the field, then you can
Speaker 1: say no, that one needs to be looked at. I
Speaker 1: wonder when when they get judged, if they get drudged,
Speaker 1: judged more harshly if they don't call it. Then if
Speaker 1: they do call one, that really isn't like do they say, well,
Speaker 1: which one which one holds? Well? It's almost like what's
Speaker 1: happened on turnovers, where if there's a fumble on the field,
Speaker 1: they will let it play out even though I even
Speaker 1: though they don't think it was a fumble, they'll play
Speaker 1: it out to make sure and that the whistle is,
Speaker 1: and so the call on the field becomes it's a fumble, okay,
Speaker 1: and then they review it, and so that takes off
Speaker 1: from a base right right right, and and it's almost
Speaker 1: like that they Okay, if I think that it was
Speaker 1: too aggressive, I'm going to call it just to cover
Speaker 1: my butt. It lands to just privilege. Man. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm a defensive back, if I'm a dB, I'm a
Speaker 1: running back. We're out there getting the hell knocked out
Speaker 1: of each other, and then this guy gets laid on
Speaker 1: the ground and we have to protect him. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: it's it. It doesn't land having much respect for that
Speaker 1: position itself because it's being treated so and if they're
Speaker 1: gonna call it like this, there's gonna be a whole
Speaker 1: lot of flopping going on amongst these quarterbacks. And so
Speaker 1: now so now you better call it like if I
Speaker 1: just if that's got you, yeah, that's not what I
Speaker 1: expected to but late, but so you have to be
Speaker 1: but you have to be now in the glass rather
Speaker 1: be quick. It better be quick. If I just have
Speaker 1: you any kind of casual way whistle now at the
Speaker 1: beginning of what I'm saying, yes, and always happened at
Speaker 1: the beginning of that game last night. I mean they
Speaker 1: were sacking the quarterback and they were just they were
Speaker 1: just running up to them and putting them in a
Speaker 1: grasp and that was it. Pro Bowl. Yeah, exactly what.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the beginning of the vision. I
Speaker 1: have got ba holding up. You're not good anywhere. You
Speaker 1: just had to wrap them up. That's all you gotta do.
Speaker 1: Don't take them. Rather call it quick now. You got
Speaker 1: to blow that whistle quick now. If this is what
Speaker 1: we're gonna have, you know this is gonna be prevalent,
Speaker 1: we better call it real quick. That have brought my
Speaker 1: white hat intoday. Yeah, we need we just ranted it's
Speaker 1: too late now. But I mean it's a problem that
Speaker 1: they need to address. The owners meet next week. And
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'd say immediate. I'd say it better be immediate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it needs something needs you got you got the
Speaker 1: outcome of games in the in the way here. This
Speaker 1: is crazy. When you got a lady who is a
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes fan and she's going because something has to
Speaker 1: be done right now. Damn, you're you're losing those fans
Speaker 1: that you could could consider casual fans that put this
Speaker 1: league over the top as far as viewership and popularity,
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. Yeah, all right, So Jerry was
Speaker 1: on the radio this morning. You know, Jerry is now
Speaker 1: the countdown to birthday number eighty. It's two days away now,
Speaker 1: it's Urday Thursday, and he had the first half of
Speaker 1: his birthday gift on Sunday. He's looking for the second
Speaker 1: half this coming Sunday. You go, we have gift enough
Speaker 1: birthday muff, you celebrate all muff. Yeah, So that's good albumuff.
Speaker 1: Everyone will be a favor of that if they continue.
Speaker 1: You have it a chance to listen to him this morning.
Speaker 1: I did go back and listen to it, um trying
Speaker 1: to see where had a update for us daks paying
Speaker 1: a visit to the doctor. I assume today for today.
Speaker 1: But it's about the grip. Gotta be able to spin it.
Speaker 1: Got to spin it. H huh. If you can't spin
Speaker 1: it and you need your spin it, oh man, that
Speaker 1: that's the that's gonna be uh. And so we'll see
Speaker 1: what he what he's able to do out on the
Speaker 1: practice field tomorrow. Right. I don't think they're gonna they're
Speaker 1: not letting anyone see him throw the ball and they're
Speaker 1: not gonna and they're not gonna say it. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna be outdoors. It's like Mike saying it's day to day, right, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's day to day. That's a Bill Belichick's. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: an easy way to get out of it. Even if
Speaker 1: he happens to throw the football, and as I told you,
Speaker 1: can he take a snap. You know, he might be
Speaker 1: able to spin it, but you better be able to
Speaker 1: take a snap under center because that thing is coming
Speaker 1: fast and hard, right yeah, And a center doesn't have
Speaker 1: the luxury too generally take a little off of it,
Speaker 1: not like my handshake, right right. Um, So yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad he made mention of this because now
Speaker 1: everybody's like, okay, when Dad comes back. Now they've got
Speaker 1: the formula to win. You play good defense and run
Speaker 1: the football. Okay, So what happens when somebody scores twenty
Speaker 1: five thirty points on You can't play cozy football now,
Speaker 1: And he was pointing out how and maybe McCarthy did too,
Speaker 1: or maybe it was Kellen Moore. They all go together.
Speaker 1: But this is a league of big plays. You want
Speaker 1: to stop them, but you need them, yeah, offensively and
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win a heck of a lot of
Speaker 1: games scoring twenty two points. Now, what Cooper has done,
Speaker 1: he has come through in the clutch right because the
Speaker 1: defense has they kept him in the position to win
Speaker 1: the game, right and to make those plays on third down,
Speaker 1: move the chains, get that field goal, they'll get that
Speaker 1: last touchdown. I was trying to see how how Jerry
Speaker 1: put it here. He said there's a big play influence
Speaker 1: on better defense. He was just talking about, you know,
Speaker 1: as long as you're you're not turning the ball over,
Speaker 1: you can kind of play this. But then you've got
Speaker 1: a resource like Dak who can come up with the
Speaker 1: big place and do you want to mute that? And
Speaker 1: I think people have gotten carried away with this, you know,
Speaker 1: run the football. Okay, So I looked and I think
Speaker 1: maybe two of the five games they've played they rushed
Speaker 1: for a hundred yards. So it's not like you've got
Speaker 1: this rushing juggernaut out there. It worked this game because
Speaker 1: the defense held the Rams to ten points. What if
Speaker 1: the Eagles score twenty seven, you're just gonna keep handing
Speaker 1: the ball and okay, well you better run for fifty
Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown then to be able to make up
Speaker 1: for it. So they are playing the way they should
Speaker 1: be playing with a backup quarterback. And you know, let's
Speaker 1: not get carried away that while all you gotta do is,
Speaker 1: you know, complete ten of sixteen passes for one hundred
Speaker 1: and two yards, and you can win. Not every Sunday.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't lay my bet on that. You have too
Speaker 1: many good teams in league whose offenses up. Eventually, you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna come up against an offense that's going
Speaker 1: to give our defense problems. It's just the way it is.
Speaker 1: You're in the NFL, you got seventeen games, Someone's going
Speaker 1: to figure out what your weakness is. I don't care
Speaker 1: how good the team is. We've seen it in the past,
Speaker 1: and especially as you get closer to the end of
Speaker 1: the season and then to the playoffs. Coaches are smart.
Speaker 1: They can game plan you very well in big games,
Speaker 1: and you have to be prepared to answer that yourself.
Speaker 1: I don't mind Cooper Rush with his menial yardage. I
Speaker 1: like the fact that he makes the plays when we
Speaker 1: need to make them. And I'm hoping that when Dad
Speaker 1: comes back, we can keep the same formula. But we
Speaker 1: still they're gonna be moments to where we need more
Speaker 1: big offensive plays. That's gonna come, right, We're gonna need
Speaker 1: more offensive plays, and we're gonna need them in bunches.
Speaker 1: And you know why because the league is about to
Speaker 1: start scoring more points than what they've scored the first
Speaker 1: month of the season. Newton has put it, as Nate
Speaker 1: Newton has put it, we got through the preseason. Okay,
Speaker 1: cowboys went three and one in the preseason, and now
Speaker 1: they're want to know in the regular season and the
Speaker 1: rest of it because no one's playing in the preseason,
Speaker 1: and so now we use September for the preseason, and
Speaker 1: so the offenses are now starting to catch up with
Speaker 1: the defenses. When you look at that one one extra game,
Speaker 1: you really have two extra weeks. God, it just still
Speaker 1: kind of tips the scale a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you can't predict it. So here we are
Speaker 1: with seven games. It just makes that season seem even longer,
Speaker 1: and so the changes are going to be made and
Speaker 1: the UH people are gonna have to adapt more than
Speaker 1: once during the season. And while all games are important,
Speaker 1: right because you only got seventeen, but it kind of
Speaker 1: got put to me today, what's you know, Oh if
Speaker 1: you win this. I said, what if you lose the game,
Speaker 1: you know you still got what eleven more games to play.
Speaker 1: It's not like you win this game and okay, it's
Speaker 1: over with right the rate, No, the best you are
Speaker 1: is tied for first place. And right now, we looked
Speaker 1: at the NFC East as uh, you know, the bottom
Speaker 1: of the league. Now our schedule looks from from going
Speaker 1: to one of the easiest in the NFL to a
Speaker 1: pretty formidable Uh yeah, right, like when you have to
Speaker 1: play all of a sudden giant out eagles a different game.
Speaker 1: So I found out what Jerry said. Uh. He said, well,
Speaker 1: it only took you ten minutes. I find it when
Speaker 1: you have a highly skilled player, meaning Dak, you don't
Speaker 1: want to mute him. And and then he went on
Speaker 1: to say, uh, and thank goodness, we are successful not
Speaker 1: having that dimension, and when we get it back, that
Speaker 1: will be a real additive, will be a mess if
Speaker 1: we can keep playing defense like this. So his point
Speaker 1: is why you go ahead, you go ahead, and point
Speaker 1: his point is you keep playing defense like this and
Speaker 1: add some more offense, you're gonna be pretty and that
Speaker 1: that gives the DAK the biggest endorsement. So far from Jerry,
Speaker 1: because everyone's been, you know, trying to read behind Jerry's
Speaker 1: statements and trying to say that he's like putting the
Speaker 1: pressure on that that Dak was never got, that he
Speaker 1: really ever believed in. And he keeps saying, though, Uh,
Speaker 1: isn't that great that you ask me that question? Because
Speaker 1: that means Cooper Rush is playing well enough for somebody
Speaker 1: to propose that question. Look, look at this legal pad.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at all the notes, Look at all
Speaker 1: the boat that he takes from a Jerry Joe radio interview.
Speaker 1: That's something that's something that coaches need to learn from.
Speaker 1: You can't have too much on your play sheet. You
Speaker 1: won't be able to find this is the game. In
Speaker 1: just a moment, I figured. The Medal of Honor is
Speaker 1: our country's highest military award for valor in combat. More
Speaker 1: than forty million individuals have served in the armed forces
Speaker 1: since the Civil War. Fewer than four thousand have received
Speaker 1: the Medal of Honor. The National Medal of Honor Museum
Speaker 1: will be a place to preserve these legacies and inspire America.
Speaker 1: It's being built right next door to the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: in Texas. Help us honor our country's greatest heroes. Learn
Speaker 1: more and get involved at moh musem dot org. We

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: So I emailed the person that was putting the stuff
Speaker 1: up and I said, no, the headline should read this,
Speaker 1: And it was supposed to be possessive. So they I
Speaker 1: put it in parentheses. They reprinted the headline with possessive
Speaker 1: at the end. They didn't they didn't get that. That
Speaker 1: was the instruction that persons name wasn't built, wasn't Everson
Speaker 1: Walls possessive? I just wanted to apost field. You weren't clear, man,
Speaker 1: you weren't clear. And we just learned in the break
Speaker 1: that Everson Walls skip second grade, first grade, skip first

Speaker 1: that aptitude test back in the day. You were so bright,
Speaker 1: I was yeah, yeah, emphasis on on was yeah, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, man, when I got when I got
Speaker 1: out of elementary school, it was like, oh that stuff
Speaker 1: is hard nowadays. If they looked at Everson like I'm
Speaker 1: going to hold him back to nineteen to be really
Speaker 1: good athlete. So actually that you were probably two years
Speaker 1: younger than others that you were playing against in high school,
Speaker 1: those that were held back, Yeah, you not to mention college. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some of those guys in the NFL. And so so
Speaker 1: how old were you when you graduated from Birkener seventeen seventeen?
Speaker 1: But but but my birthday was in Is in late December,
Speaker 1: so you know it'll be I'll be I did my
Speaker 1: whole freshman you at gambling, I was still seventeen. So
Speaker 1: how old were you when you were draft? Oh never mind?

Speaker 1: season twenty one. Yeah, so and the end of the season.
Speaker 1: About about my notes, I wrote down you remember the
Speaker 1: deep past at Well two at Well and Diggs was
Speaker 1: right there, and I wrote down my notes. Malik Hooker
Speaker 1: late coming over. And yesterday in Dan Quinn's press conference,
Speaker 1: someone said something about how he's playing, and he goes, well,
Speaker 1: he goes there was a couple big plays, but one
Speaker 1: of them, really Hooker was supposed to be over the top.
Speaker 1: And I said, see, I had it in my note.
Speaker 1: Tom Langie would never do that. He would he would
Speaker 1: never do that. He'd be like you just you just
Speaker 1: bathe in it. If the safety you just sold you Ouyeah,
Speaker 1: it's a quarterback. You just you just take it then, buddy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that that and I saw honest well, but
Speaker 1: I love the honesty on it too. And well, but
Speaker 1: when Malik Hooker also is playing as well as he is,
Speaker 1: he can do yes. And he prefaced he that prefaced it.
Speaker 1: What is it when you do it afterwards? Uh? Posts
Speaker 1: said it whatever? And he said and he said, and
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Malik would admit to it, like you know,
Speaker 1: he knew that he should have been there. And it
Speaker 1: was one hell of a pass by the way, in
Speaker 1: a catch and his hand was right there by the ball,
Speaker 1: but he should have had safety help. And he pointed
Speaker 1: out that on the other one, meaning the touchdown to Cope,
Speaker 1: he said, he should have stayed over the top of
Speaker 1: his shoulder instead of instead of trying to undercut it,
Speaker 1: because when you're on the top and he catches it,
Speaker 1: he's got to turn towards you. Hey, that's my trust me, right,
Speaker 1: That's the only way I could play it. When you
Speaker 1: when you're slow, you have to play it like when
Speaker 1: you're under But when you have speed, if you recall
Speaker 1: Digs got an interception like that last year, he was
Speaker 1: able to catch up with the receiver, but only because
Speaker 1: the quarterback waited until he got to the sideline. This time,
Speaker 1: Matthew caught him just as he was coming across the
Speaker 1: middle of field. He didn't wait for Dicks to catch up,
Speaker 1: and the rest of the field had been cleared out.
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing, Tom Land you one thing
Speaker 1: I hate it the way he taught us man to
Speaker 1: man at times because he made us prioritize one thing
Speaker 1: is you have to be inside and deep because if
Speaker 1: you are not inside and deep on your coverage, most
Speaker 1: likely there's no one there to stop your receiver from
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown, just like we saw against Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1: My thing is this, we and not just the Cowboys
Speaker 1: DBS now are allowing these receivers to just release inside.
Speaker 1: He was in the slot and he can't couldn't get
Speaker 1: his hands on him. But you know, that's why your
Speaker 1: your alignment is important. And when he came off the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, Digs was a beat slow and Cups
Speaker 1: That's that's why Cup is gutsy. But that's but you
Speaker 1: have to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Man.
Speaker 1: That is the worst case scenario, a quick release inside,
Speaker 1: he has leverage on you. Now, that's why when we
Speaker 1: played the flex, there were times when you saw wide
Speaker 1: receivers catching sideline have the sideline on us unless you
Speaker 1: change the defense. Well, that was the weakness of our defense,
Speaker 1: and Tom Landry allowed us to give up that route
Speaker 1: because it's the weakness of the defense. They were so paranoid.
Speaker 1: Do you remember Billy Waddys and they beat us nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty I wasn't there yet. Nineteen eighty We lost the
Speaker 1: game because Billy White ran all the way across the
Speaker 1: field on the indcut for a touchdown in Texas Stadium,
Speaker 1: and that just that was a surprise. We weren't ready
Speaker 1: for that and then knocked inside of the playoffs. That
Speaker 1: right there taught Tom Landrier lesson and that was the
Speaker 1: reason that we played man to man the way we did.
Speaker 1: Worst case scenario is a release inside or a route inside,
Speaker 1: you have no help if he catches that ball. And
Speaker 1: that's what's been happening throughout the entire league. Kelsey four
Speaker 1: touchdowns last night, each time he released inside and there
Speaker 1: was no one there. I don't know why. I don't
Speaker 1: like the design of the defense itself. If you're just
Speaker 1: going to let them run inside, then you chase them
Speaker 1: with the hopes of tracking them down before they catch
Speaker 1: them go to the house or they're playing zone. Maybe, Nah,
Speaker 1: they were in No, they went man to man. They
Speaker 1: were in man to man all four times. All four times.
Speaker 1: So I just think it's a flaw in the design
Speaker 1: the way they have defensive backs playing these days. Speaking
Speaker 1: of Kelsey, I saw in the Philadelphia Inquired that Jason
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Landon Dickerson both kind of injury concerns going
Speaker 1: into this week practice. Jason Kelsey Jason as good as
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is. Jason Kelsey is just as good as
Speaker 1: right center. Yeah, so that's one we'll keep an eye
Speaker 1: on when they practice tomorrow they have any other injuries.
Speaker 1: That was the only two I saw that were highlighted.
Speaker 1: Because this is going to be our challenge this spot.
Speaker 1: This would be the best we played against so far.
Speaker 1: The mistakes that the being was made. These Eagles don't
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, and that's why you know they have
Speaker 1: to give Parsons a couple of days this week to
Speaker 1: try to get him strong enough for the game. Jerry
Speaker 1: thought that he would be able to do something on
Speaker 1: Wednesday and be ready for the game on Sunday. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking if they have to go go sit over there,
Speaker 1: you know, don't worry about Wednesday and Thursday. We just
Speaker 1: need you. And if all I need you to do
Speaker 1: is come in on third down, it's nothing fancy, right,
Speaker 1: go get the quarterback. You didn't got to practice that.
Speaker 1: U So, Yeah, which which which? Which position? Do you
Speaker 1: think would be more taxing on him in regards to
Speaker 1: his injury. I think linebacker maybe, because you've got so
Speaker 1: many different ways you got to go right, you might
Speaker 1: have to drop, You got to go sideways and maybe
Speaker 1: run five to six yards when you're rushing the quarterback.
Speaker 1: A lot of pivoting and you're just going straight right.
Speaker 1: You might have a little spin move, although you're trying
Speaker 1: to push a three hundred and thirty pound guy out
Speaker 1: of the way, which he a lot of times does
Speaker 1: at his size. It's amazing the times he bull rushes. Well,
Speaker 1: even the last sack he had, Yeah, he's he just
Speaker 1: came into the huddle, limping into the huddle and then
Speaker 1: he just right just just bogus just kept coming right
Speaker 1: and it's almost like they're backing up and they can't
Speaker 1: stay with them. It's it's an amazing talent. His all right,
Speaker 1: I'm just lost in thought on Billy Waddy. He still
Speaker 1: got me point. You got me researching Billy Waddy. And
Speaker 1: it's just interesting because that was it was actually nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy nine, Yeah, which was that might have been eight yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was. It was. It was December thirtieth, nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy nine, and it turned out it was Roger Staubach's
Speaker 1: last last yew was Cowboy and it was a twenty
Speaker 1: last play last last Yeah, the last play off game,
Speaker 1: last regular season game was the winner against Washington. The
Speaker 1: post by Tony Hill, Tony Hill, right corner of the day.
Speaker 1: You gotta believe he couldn't play that year because of
Speaker 1: this is a funny story. I sprayed my ankle after
Speaker 1: after Roger Starbax touched out past to Tony Hill. What
Speaker 1: do you mean I believe that he completes that pass.
Speaker 1: I went running out of our front house, jumping up
Speaker 1: and down. The first time I've ever admitted that I
Speaker 1: could see it. Really, I could see it, man. That
Speaker 1: was a that was a great moment. I mean to
Speaker 1: come back itself and of course, they had the picture
Speaker 1: of Springs jumped into Starback's arms. They have a good
Speaker 1: picture of that after you threw that touchdown. Yeah, glad
Speaker 1: you're lifting up. Yes and so and so. Then the
Speaker 1: following week it was Cowboys Rams in the playoffs, and
Speaker 1: it was Billy Waddy fifty yards from Vincent. We had
Speaker 1: the game. We had the game, and he's a nineteen
Speaker 1: fourteen league. Yeah, it came just a deep end cut
Speaker 1: across the middle. And from then on time Landry changed
Speaker 1: the way we covered wide receivers from then on, and
Speaker 1: I have been teaching kids at camps to do the
Speaker 1: same thing, and they hate it because, like I don't
Speaker 1: want to just give up the outside short routes. It
Speaker 1: just kills them, Like, don't worry, man, It's gonna come
Speaker 1: to you, and every time it does, you have to
Speaker 1: be patient. There you go. That is wild. That's some
Speaker 1: great history, right stuff you don't get just anywhere else.
Speaker 1: All right, Nate Newton has informed us it's time for
Speaker 1: us to take a late break here on mix shot.
Speaker 1: Probably peeking around the corner somewhere. We paid how much
Speaker 1: for those lessons? She's to really 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 center to turns, conditions and availability.
Speaker 1: In most states, prices vary based on how you buying.

Speaker 1: All week. By the way, all right, did you hear
Speaker 1: what's going on in Washington? H is Ron Rivero? Apparently
Speaker 1: I saw a headline, but I did yesterday. Well, Ralph
Speaker 1: Vacciano is reporting today that Commander's coach, Ron Rivera, one
Speaker 1: day after saying quarterback is why other teams have pulled
Speaker 1: ahead of his team in the NFCS. Today, he opened
Speaker 1: his press conference saying he spoke to the team before
Speaker 1: practice this morning and apologize his Monday comments, which he
Speaker 1: said he didn't present. Well, I should know better, s word,
Speaker 1: I had a bad day. Let's move forward. He was
Speaker 1: still pissing it still bad quarterback? Right? It was an
Speaker 1: end zone interception. Man, it was dude, it was typical.
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. You know what, I really I
Speaker 1: have always liked Crossing Wentz. I really have um watching him,
Speaker 1: you know, developed especially when they took the Eagles to
Speaker 1: the playoffs that year. I showed a lot of grit. Man.
Speaker 1: The way he won the Super Bowl that year was
Speaker 1: not him, but he had something to do with it.
Speaker 1: This guy man just snake bit. Well, I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: that's not bad luck, just bad decisions, you know. He
Speaker 1: just I don't think he ever saw the linebacker because
Speaker 1: when he threw that pass, it looked like he was
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. It looked like he was you know, Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna flip it off in there, you know,
Speaker 1: my homes and it was gonna be a good play.
Speaker 1: But the tight end, I mean, the linebacker saw it.
Speaker 1: And he had three hundred plus yards passing. He was
Speaker 1: having a great game. But this is what he does.
Speaker 1: He did it to the coach last year, and that's
Speaker 1: two coaches that are gonna be in trouble because of him,
Speaker 1: because Frank Wright. They were mad at him last year.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he still has his job this year because
Speaker 1: they were so upset that he put all his faith
Speaker 1: into Carson Wentz. He said it verbally a hard knocks
Speaker 1: in season. This is our guy. We're gonna ride our quarterback,
Speaker 1: and he can do it. He always backs the wrong horse. Well,
Speaker 1: in this case, that wrong horse has been backed a
Speaker 1: couple of times. Poor quarterback player will get a coach fired.
Speaker 1: It's sure will rule, It's sure will. It's sure will.
Speaker 1: And three twenty plus yards passing. He had a couple
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. If I'm not mistaken, and he just throws
Speaker 1: that oh man, and you could just see how disappointed
Speaker 1: he was. I know he's thinking to us out, man,
Speaker 1: am I stupid? Come on? We've all said it to
Speaker 1: each other, right you though we have? Man, how could
Speaker 1: I have been so stupid? Okay? So, like examine the
Speaker 1: NFC East the quarterback play, Well, okay, you've got Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts at Philadelphia and here in Dallas, Dak the first game,
Speaker 1: but the wins have been with Cooper Rush at quarterback
Speaker 1: and then Daniel Jones with the Giants coming off a
Speaker 1: win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in London on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So which messes up our preseason preview of the conference saying, well,
Speaker 1: when you look at the conference where you're gonna pick
Speaker 1: our division, are you gonna pick the win? Well, who
Speaker 1: has the best quarterback? Well it's Dak Preskin. Now he's
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. He's not found if Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: and Hurts are playing, you know, okay, And so what
Speaker 1: are the Eagles doing? And we'll get more into him
Speaker 1: as we go through the week. But your talk about
Speaker 1: points scored in the Eagles in the first game of
Speaker 1: the year against Detroit, they got a big lead and
Speaker 1: then that held him off for a thirty eight thirty
Speaker 1: five win. But since then they've scored twenty four, twenty four,
Speaker 1: twenty nine in the rain in Jacksonville, and then twenty
Speaker 1: against Arizona. So it's not like they've been in the
Speaker 1: thirties every game. And if you if you listen to
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurst's interview afterwards, he was pretty honest about that.
Speaker 1: As happy as he was, He's like, we we still
Speaker 1: we've got to play bad. And you got Cooper Rush's
Speaker 1: stats there, Uh yeah, no picks, four touchdown passes right there.
Speaker 1: It's quarterbirt rating is ninety three point nine. And I
Speaker 1: also figured out if you throw out that when he
Speaker 1: what did he play in a quarter and again when
Speaker 1: he came in so as a starter. As a starter,
Speaker 1: his quarterback rating is ninety two. Okay, no picks, four touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He's completed right at sixty one percent of his passes,
Speaker 1: which is what he has now. How many sacks seven? Okay,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many of those might have
Speaker 1: been in the first game. Hurtz has four touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: two picks, and been sacked eleven times. He's running sixty
Speaker 1: eight times for two hundred and sixty six yards and
Speaker 1: six touchdown questions. That's the difference right there. That's what's
Speaker 1: making And think about it. You played defense. You get
Speaker 1: a team third and seven, third and ten, third and
Speaker 1: twelve and the quarterback takes off for fifteen yards rand
Speaker 1: coming him. It just breaks your heart. The same team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Rando coming him happened all the time back in the eighties,
Speaker 1: and that's just the way it was. We had a
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks that had that ability. Jeff Hoste. Look, yeah,
Speaker 1: he helped carry us to the super Bowl with the
Speaker 1: Giants just by doing that, not just in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but he laid us down the stretch
Speaker 1: during the regular season with timely scrambles that really got
Speaker 1: us out of a lot of trouble and help his win.
Speaker 1: So two things on that for this game, and probably
Speaker 1: too early start analyzing it, but number one, they can't
Speaker 1: let hurts when they when they rushed the quarterback. It
Speaker 1: can't be all out here. The same thing Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: early in his career, right where you gotta be control,
Speaker 1: controlled and can't just be out of control saying okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta get through the quarterback no matter what. And
Speaker 1: then secondly, um, and who did they do this with
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit with the Giants with Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1: They had somebody watching for and I think it was
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson quite a bit. And you would like Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons doing that. But if he's somewhat limited, we'll go
Speaker 1: back to where we start. Like Wilson doing that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like jay Ron Curse doing that, and they well
Speaker 1: j Donovan is gonna be that's true, but but jay
Speaker 1: Ron's gonna be close. The probably play him closer to
Speaker 1: the mind the scrimmage, right, Yeah, and let jay let
Speaker 1: let Wilson help in the bat because he's gonna go.
Speaker 1: He's gonna take off. He's taking Goddard. That would be
Speaker 1: j J j Ron. That's why you have Curse don
Speaker 1: Goddard and then Wilson as your Now Wilson could also
Speaker 1: Yeah the tea, that's the luxury that we've gotten better at. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty six yards rushing. But here's the
Speaker 1: bottom line on two hundred and sixty six yards six touchdowns. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: they know when they get in the red zone. The
Speaker 1: spell he's gonna run. That's right close to the goal line.
Speaker 1: He's keeping it. Yeah. And so when you look at
Speaker 1: a team like that, I say, a quarterback of that
Speaker 1: caliber doing the things that he does, that's going to
Speaker 1: cause us to play more zone defense. You just don't
Speaker 1: really want to be playing man to man with your back.
Speaker 1: Turn into a quarterback that will that has a tendency
Speaker 1: to take off right, you know, that could really lead
Speaker 1: to some huge plays. Our one defense is so good.
Speaker 1: We can attack someone you know in in unison and
Speaker 1: keep those scrambles to a minimum. I think it'd be
Speaker 1: the smarter way to go any more predictable circumstances. Now,
Speaker 1: the other thing I saw at twelve forty six. Man, Wow,
Speaker 1: Well we'll finish here and pick up tomorrow. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: you want to tease the other thing that you saw.
Speaker 1: I want to say it and then we'll verify it tomorrow. No, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gone and we're gonna double check it. But I
Speaker 1: read that this is only the third time in Eagle's
Speaker 1: history they've been five and oh wow. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: research to see how many times the Dallas Cowboys have
Speaker 1: been five and oho to start a season. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: coming up on the next edition of mix Shots, Oh Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
