Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys. This is Mick Shots streaming live on Dallascowboys dot
Speaker 2: Com and the official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are
Speaker 2: Bill Jones, Savannah Humoller, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 3: Hello from Everson and Savannah. And this is another edition
Speaker 3: of Mixed Shots. And I thought, for sure we would
Speaker 3: start this show with a fight song, the Missouri fight song.
Speaker 4: Next week, Becky, you dropped the ball.
Speaker 3: The next I said, I'd never heard the Missouri fight
Speaker 3: song before.
Speaker 4: Content.
Speaker 3: For sure, today we would start with the Missouri content.
Speaker 3: No one can find that things.
Speaker 5: I've got it.
Speaker 4: I've got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got it too. Someone you know what I've
Speaker 3: got it too. Someone sent it to me last night.
Speaker 3: They listened to the show and they sent me the
Speaker 3: Missouri so and let me tell you, I still haven't
Speaker 3: ever heard the Missouri before so.
Speaker 4: Back when, back when Missouri spanked A and M in
Speaker 4: Johnny Football's last season the year before, ten years ago,
Speaker 4: the year before A and M. One and the producer
Speaker 4: at that time went to A and M and he
Speaker 4: started my segment the next Monday morning with the A
Speaker 4: and M fight song.
Speaker 3: So I love that fight song.
Speaker 4: I waited an entire year, right, and when Missouri beat him,
Speaker 4: I played the fight song on the radio. I got
Speaker 4: back at him.
Speaker 3: And by the way, there are more than two words
Speaker 3: to the Oklahoma fight song you.
Speaker 6: Came prepared to.
Speaker 5: He tried to show us that yesterday. I couldn't think.
Speaker 5: I couldn't make the word.
Speaker 3: And I couldn't think of the other words. And so
Speaker 3: someone sent me those two sooner born suitor bread when
Speaker 3: I die sooner dead, there you go, or the other words.
Speaker 5: That's it, that's.
Speaker 4: It, Boomer sooner like ten times all right.
Speaker 5: I was very that's a drinking song.
Speaker 3: I was in college. I was very disappointed. When I
Speaker 3: turned the corner and I looked out on the football
Speaker 3: field and I did not see football equipment on the
Speaker 3: football field. What is going on with this football team?
Speaker 4: So do you have like four hours?
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to back up the schedule of their feet.
Speaker 3: I know they did that last week and the week
Speaker 3: before and the week before that, But did you see
Speaker 3: them play on Sunday?
Speaker 4: Can we not get out there earlier today? Did you
Speaker 4: see him play the previous so since you brought that up.
Speaker 3: Yes, this occurred to me.
Speaker 4: I was telling Savannah, I wanted to see how some
Speaker 4: of the better teams in the league are doing on
Speaker 4: the road.
Speaker 7: Oh, okay, all right, we wanted some comparisons.
Speaker 4: Buffalo has lost four of their six games on the road.
Speaker 3: I'd say two and four record.
Speaker 4: Philadelphia has lost three of their four losses on the road.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: San Francisco has lost two of their three losses on
Speaker 4: the road. Tampa Bay four of seven, Seattle five of
Speaker 4: the seven, and Miami three of their four losses on
Speaker 4: the road. Now, the Cowboys, you don't want to be
Speaker 4: one hundred percent on this, but they're the only one
Speaker 4: that lost four of four. But everybody else struggling on
Speaker 4: the road.
Speaker 3: Why why.
Speaker 4: It's not college right.
Speaker 5: They're still the NFL. We talked about that Yesterday's human nature, man,
Speaker 5: the comfort zone of being at home. It's just it
Speaker 5: makes everything different. It's not a hallucination. It's a true thing.
Speaker 5: When you're on the road, you're not as comfortable when
Speaker 5: you're at home. You have that comfort zone. It's like
Speaker 5: sleeping in your own bed. It is what it is.
Speaker 4: See, and I remember McCarthy saying, what you want to
Speaker 4: do is play five hundred on the road and win
Speaker 4: your home games. Well, they've won their home games, right,
Speaker 4: and they're three and four at this point on the road,
Speaker 4: so here we go.
Speaker 3: So when this week and you're four and four on
Speaker 3: the road, right, there you go and you're five hundred.
Speaker 4: So anyway, I just thought, I you know, I picked
Speaker 4: the teams that were in first place in their divisions,
Speaker 4: and that's kind of how it turned out.
Speaker 3: Well is Detroit Detroit?
Speaker 4: Oh I meant, I meant to get back to Detroit.
Speaker 4: So Detroit's the only one with the losses that they're
Speaker 4: five hundred. They've lost two of the four on the road. Okay,
Speaker 4: I was saving that for Okay the end. Thank you
Speaker 4: for asking.
Speaker 3: Well, I did not hear them, and so I thought
Speaker 3: maybe you had conveniently left the left.
Speaker 4: Them out just because they were four and o on
Speaker 4: the road and lost at home. I mean, what's worse,
Speaker 4: you know, losing on the road or losing at home.
Speaker 5: That's a very good question. I have no idea what
Speaker 5: I saw bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I saw Detroit with a bad loss at
Speaker 3: home on Thanksgiving Day. No, they did not play well.
Speaker 3: That was that the Green Bay, Green Bay.
Speaker 7: It has Miami lost, you, I know the Titans. Who
Speaker 7: else do we have on the list?
Speaker 5: I have that the Eagles got it.
Speaker 4: They have lost to Buffalo forty eight to twenty which,
Speaker 4: by the way, on the road. They lost to Philadelphia
Speaker 4: thirty one seventeen at Philadelphia, bad game, was winnable. They
Speaker 4: lost twenty one fourteen at Kansas City, and then they
Speaker 4: lost at home twenty eight twenty seven to Tennessee.
Speaker 3: But oh, that was a miserable game for them. That
Speaker 3: was a Monday night game just last week.
Speaker 4: Since you asked that, they've got ten wins, nine of
Speaker 4: them against teams with losing records, and the tenth one
Speaker 4: against Denver. That's now five hundred, but that was back
Speaker 4: on the third game of the season when it looked
Speaker 4: like Denver was going to win a game this year.
Speaker 4: So they have yet to beat anybody with a winning record.
Speaker 4: What does that.
Speaker 5: Mean, Well, that means that they sound like the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: They're playing at home.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's the same thing. They have the same
Speaker 5: type of reputation that we have.
Speaker 4: At least the Cowboys beat Philadelphia and beat Seattle, thank.
Speaker 5: God for that, right, Yes, But you know that that's
Speaker 5: what they who they compare us to. And it's not
Speaker 5: just a bad part of the Dolphins of the Cowboys, right,
Speaker 5: it's the potential that you have and it's what you
Speaker 5: expect from them, and then they go out and disappoint
Speaker 5: you in certain situations where it just surprises everyone. So
Speaker 5: that's why I say they remind you the doubts Cowboys
Speaker 5: because of their potential.
Speaker 3: And their ability to score points on offense, leading the
Speaker 3: league in points scored, Cowboys are number two.
Speaker 4: But see they get to play well, I guess the
Speaker 4: divisions are about the same now, right, the AFC East
Speaker 4: you get to play New England twice.
Speaker 3: It is very very interesting that you compare the two divisions,
Speaker 3: a f C East and the NFC East, just those divisions,
Speaker 3: and you got the Cowboys and the Eagles at the
Speaker 3: top of the NFC East, and then the Giants are
Speaker 3: like the Jets, and Washington is like New England. Okay, right,
Speaker 3: very similar.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's very pop heavy with two teams is
Speaker 4: getting towards Philadelphia.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean yeah, right, yeah, But whereas you get
Speaker 8: to play down you get to play the Jets twice
Speaker 8: five and nine.
Speaker 4: New England twice, three and eleven. It's about the same.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 4: So anyway, so if comparisons mean anything, there you.
Speaker 3: Go, Well they need that Cowboys need that trend to
Speaker 3: continue where they still haven't beaten a team with a
Speaker 3: winning record for at least one more week and they
Speaker 3: can do whatever they want to after that.
Speaker 4: And I'm sure Buffalo is the biggest Cowboy fans ever know.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they're like apologizing to us.
Speaker 9: But.
Speaker 4: Sorry, we did that. But if they went out, they
Speaker 4: get the final say, right because they've got Miami. They've
Speaker 4: got Miami at at.
Speaker 5: Home at home.
Speaker 4: Wow. Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 3: They're at Miami.
Speaker 5: That is going to be a good game.
Speaker 4: Well that's that should be the flex.
Speaker 3: That likely well, as long as the Cowboys take care
Speaker 3: of business this week at Miami, the Buffalo will take
Speaker 3: care of business the next two weeks because they played
Speaker 3: the Yard and the Patriots and that will set up
Speaker 3: that one doesn't matter then really what Miami does against
Speaker 3: Baltimore the next week, because they have to win that
Speaker 3: Buffalo game, right, and and that will be the flex.
Speaker 5: You know, we keep doing this and they were doing
Speaker 5: it on TV today. I can't give anything. Nothing's automatic
Speaker 5: for me. Where is Buffalo playing New England?
Speaker 3: I believe they are at home.
Speaker 5: They're playing in Buffalo because.
Speaker 3: They're going to the Chargers this week. Yes, they're at home.
Speaker 5: Okay, boy, say it's a gimme if they're playing. I
Speaker 5: just wouldn't say that. You know, you get Zeke going.
Speaker 5: You never know what happens. Don't try to don't throw
Speaker 5: the ball. They treat that they would have if they
Speaker 5: could have, they could possibly if playing at home. Treat
Speaker 5: Buffalo the way Buffalo treated us. Just run the ball.
Speaker 5: Just run the ball, Run the ball, Run the ball.
Speaker 3: Since belly check is basically already fired, you know, come.
Speaker 5: On, man's stops. Yeah, and that's that's the most dangerous
Speaker 5: kind of coach. One that's about to get fired. Got
Speaker 5: nothing else to lose.
Speaker 3: That's a very good point.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: Well, I've just learned as we sat down here that
Speaker 3: ever Since is going to be out the next two days.
Speaker 3: He's going to take an early Christmas on us, on us.
Speaker 5: So I tell y'all come in Monday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Monday, you don't have to play Stampede at home.
Speaker 3: And so ever Since, we need to give you a
Speaker 3: lot of the next half hour for you two give
Speaker 3: us your opinions on what's going on here.
Speaker 7: I'm curious, ever since, take me back to some Christmas
Speaker 7: games that you've played before. What is there any that
Speaker 7: like sticks out in your mind or just like holiday
Speaker 7: games that you know it's Christmas? Wee where's the media guide?
Speaker 5: Oh? Okay, yeah, I'm gonna need it because I can't
Speaker 5: even remember.
Speaker 4: All.
Speaker 7: Let's go back to ever since Christmas games.
Speaker 5: I think that's yeah, help me out.
Speaker 3: I'll time to look it up.
Speaker 4: But see if it's in there, we will, we will go.
Speaker 3: Back through time. I love I like that idea is
Speaker 3: a good one.
Speaker 5: Chris.
Speaker 7: I just feel like there's some really good Christmas games
Speaker 7: this weekend. I'm looking at all the matchups here. There's
Speaker 7: some great games this week.
Speaker 3: Got a double header on Saturday, Another Saturday double header,
Speaker 3: Saturday double header on NBC. This week.
Speaker 4: Nothing's going to beat Sunday.
Speaker 7: You got Monday, I mean Sunday is great, and then
Speaker 7: Monday Giants Eagles, Ravens forty nine, Ers Ravens forty.
Speaker 4: In San France.
Speaker 3: It's three games on Monday. It starts at noon. Now, okay,
Speaker 3: so do you open presents on Christmas morning? Yes, okay, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: same here.
Speaker 5: I mean for the for the immediate house, right of course.
Speaker 3: Well some doing on Christmas Eve, you know, not allow.
Speaker 3: I'm the same way, but it's worked out well.
Speaker 5: Saying that he was a kid is not allowed, that's right.
Speaker 3: I've got three daughters who are married, and I don't
Speaker 3: know if they just won and or what, but they
Speaker 3: go to the in laws on Christmas even so we're
Speaker 3: all together on Christmas.
Speaker 5: Anyway.
Speaker 3: The reason I asked that is there's a noon game
Speaker 3: on Christmas Day, so you've got to get your presence
Speaker 3: opened early. It's Vegas at Kansas City at noon on Monday.
Speaker 5: At that well, but.
Speaker 4: You will the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of you know, the NBA has owned
Speaker 3: Christmas Day, right, and now the NFL is We're going
Speaker 3: to see who owns Christmas Day this year. I have
Speaker 3: a feeling the NFL is going to own it this year.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then the Monday afternoon game at three point thirty,
Speaker 3: as Savannah mentioned, the Giants play at the Eagles, and
Speaker 3: then the Baltimore San Francisco game eleven and three against
Speaker 3: eleven and three is Monday night, Christmas.
Speaker 4: Night, so I don't remember the years. But I remember
Speaker 4: covering two Christmas Day games Cowboys at Arizona, and I
Speaker 4: believe if I remember the one, it was maybe ninety five.
Speaker 3: It was right, yeah, not right after.
Speaker 4: San Francisco Philly, right after the Philly debacle. Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: and San Francisco lost on the Cowboys flying out there,
Speaker 4: if I remember, I think that's right, and that allowed them,
Speaker 4: if they beat Arizona, to get home field advantage through
Speaker 4: the playoffs. And it was when they filled part of
Speaker 4: I forgot the name of them. Joey maguire, Thank you, Chris,
Speaker 4: I somebody help you out. And I remember it was
Speaker 4: a it was a night.
Speaker 3: Game they did play on Christmas Night. It was It
Speaker 3: was a Monday, December twenty fifth, nineteen ninety five. And
Speaker 3: that was two weeks after the fourth and one in
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Cowboys loss to fall to ten and four. They
Speaker 3: beat the Giants the next week, December seventeenth, and then
Speaker 3: the last game of the regular season was on Christmas Night,
Speaker 3: Monday night, December twenty fifth, at Arizona.
Speaker 4: And so what I did, thanks to the time zone change,
Speaker 4: I had Christmas at home, took a flight to Arizona,
Speaker 4: got in about three four in the afternoon for the
Speaker 4: night game and took the Red I back and so
Speaker 4: I was there for breakfast the next morning. So all
Speaker 4: I missed was one meal.
Speaker 3: But what happened was the Cowboys were able to secure
Speaker 3: the first round.
Speaker 4: You're not worried about my travel, no.
Speaker 3: But what we care about. What we care about is
Speaker 3: on that that Christmas turned out to be very nice
Speaker 3: for the Cowboys because they were able to secure not
Speaker 3: only home field advantage, but the first round by in
Speaker 3: the playoffs.
Speaker 4: There was another they played again there on Christmas. I
Speaker 4: think maybe ten fifteen years later, because I didn't write
Speaker 4: the charter. Then I remember going on my own again.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna wake up Christmas morning in a hotel.
Speaker 3: No kidding, no kidding.
Speaker 4: How depressing that.
Speaker 3: As it turns out, you'll be arriving back all and
Speaker 3: the rest of the team about the same time.
Speaker 4: Santa Claus, I already night.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. So would you rather play on Christmas
Speaker 3: Day or Christmas Eve night? There is a night game
Speaker 3: on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 4: I would hate that.
Speaker 3: I would do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, neither one sounds good. New England.
Speaker 3: New England plays at Denver at seven fifteen Christmas Eve night,
Speaker 3: so they sat seven to fifteen pm. It's on the
Speaker 3: NFL network Christmas Eve, so England at Denver.
Speaker 4: They got to change two time zones to play that game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what kind of mood is Bill Belichick going to
Speaker 3: be in going game seven.
Speaker 4: Fifteen Sunday night, Christmas Eve?
Speaker 5: That he would be a good screwige.
Speaker 4: Eastern times so by time they get home it'll be
Speaker 4: four or five in the morning.
Speaker 3: But for teams, they're traveling, and just you're traveling. If
Speaker 3: you're playing on Christmas Day, you're traveling Christmas Eve, so
Speaker 3: you're away from the family, and especially you're playing well,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter either way. You're playing the Christmas night
Speaker 3: and you're just in a hotel room.
Speaker 4: You know what I was morning. I've always said, who
Speaker 4: in the heck put Christmas in the middle of the
Speaker 4: NFL season? How did that happen?
Speaker 3: Priorities under that and we continue traveling down Everson Walls
Speaker 3: Christmas Memory Lane.
Speaker 9: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: And they snapped the press guy who looks right, it's
Speaker 3: not there. He escapes left.

Speaker 3: Demict shuts.
Speaker 7: Here's kpost roofine and Waterproofine, the official roofer of the
Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys. As we're getting into Christmas, I just looked
Speaker 7: up the history of the NFL games on Christmas. So
Speaker 7: it was introduced in nineteen seventy one and it fell
Speaker 7: on a Saturday. And the teams who played on that
Speaker 7: day for the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 7: and Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3: So what happened when that Cowboy Cowboys played the you
Speaker 3: said the Vikings that day.
Speaker 7: I just know it's the four teams, but I will
Speaker 7: find out what happened.
Speaker 3: Well, Mickey's got the media guy. Nineteen seventy one Christmas Day.
Speaker 3: Oh seventy one Christmas Day, Quick, hurry, look at up,
Speaker 3: look it up.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 3: I found out that was Leave It to Savannah.
Speaker 4: It was the NFC Championship game Cowboys. Oh no, it
Speaker 4: was the divisional game at Minnesota twelve twenty five.
Speaker 3: And what was the score?
Speaker 4: Cowboys win twenty to twelve.
Speaker 3: Twenty to twelve, nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 4: With a whole forty nine thoy one hundred people there
Speaker 4: that got them into the NFC title Game when they
Speaker 4: beat San Francisco fourteen to three and sent them to
Speaker 4: Super Bowl six to win their first French Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Let me see that for just a second.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 3: This is going to take me back to my favorite game,
Speaker 3: my favorite day of watching football ever. It was nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy two. It was two days before Christmas, December twenty third,
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy two, and that was the day of the
Speaker 3: Immaculate Reception. And I remember I think it may have
Speaker 3: been on a Saturday. It was Okay, it was on
Speaker 3: a Saturday, I remember, and I was home and sisters mom,
Speaker 3: they're out shopping or whatever. It was the most brilliant
Speaker 3: day ever. So Pittsburgh's playing the Raiders in the early game,
Speaker 3: and then you have the immaculate reception Franco Harris. And
Speaker 3: then the late game is Dallas at San Francisco and
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are trailing twenty eight to sixteen with two
Speaker 3: minutes left in the game, and then Rogers stabach leads
Speaker 3: to come back Tony Fritz with the behind the leg
Speaker 3: on side kick touchdown, Larry Coles rolling, and the Cowboys
Speaker 3: win thirty to twenty eight. To this day, it's still
Speaker 3: the greatest day in National Football League history in my opinion.
Speaker 4: I was home from college that day. I remember watching
Speaker 4: the game. My mother was cooking, and when that happened,
Speaker 4: I held, hey, you got to come and see this.
Speaker 3: Which one the immaculate reception or though, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Immaculate reception? Yeah, I remember seeing it. Yep.
Speaker 5: So I liked that. That was good. Okay. So that
Speaker 5: was when they had AstroTurf, right, that was AstroTurf in
Speaker 5: the Keezar Stadium.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet not.
Speaker 5: No, that's that's what it looked like. He was rolling around.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, it looked like it was AstroTurf.
Speaker 4: I can't believe that old stadium had AstroTurf in seventy two.
Speaker 3: I'll look it up. You go on to something else.
Speaker 4: I was going to ask, so the question of the day,
Speaker 4: since we won't have a chance to ask it the
Speaker 4: rest of the week, how do you defend Tyreek's Hill speed?
Speaker 4: To Everson Walls.
Speaker 5: I would say, get him on natural turf. That's the
Speaker 5: best way to do it. So get him on natural
Speaker 5: turf grass. In mind, they do have natural grass in Miami,
Speaker 5: but yet they still seem to win easily at home.
Speaker 5: They still run by people at home on natural grass,
Speaker 5: which is unusual, but the most effective way to play
Speaker 5: against this entire offense.
Speaker 4: Because the other guys are fast too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Wattle is fast as well. We saw that last week.
Speaker 5: Right without Tyreek Hill, He's still running by everybody, and
Speaker 5: I believe that was a home game as well. Cover
Speaker 5: two is the best you can do against these guys,
Speaker 5: the same way the Buffalo played us. You have to
Speaker 5: have two safeties high and that can eliminate a lot
Speaker 5: of problems as far as their speed going down the field.
Speaker 5: The safety is back their way on him already. So
Speaker 5: if I'm going to give a nice coaching point to
Speaker 5: a defensive back, especially at cornerback, I got to get
Speaker 5: my hands on him at the line of scrimmage. You
Speaker 5: have to get your hands on him at the line
Speaker 5: of scrimmage. No one does that anymore. Belichick was the
Speaker 5: master at understanding how just a hand on a guy,
Speaker 5: just a body position on the guy, just leverage on
Speaker 5: the guy, could really make the quarterback question his throws.
Speaker 5: So you have to get a hand on him, keep
Speaker 5: the leverage on him as an underneath defensive defender, and
Speaker 5: make sure those safeties are over the top. I don't
Speaker 5: care how deep they have to be. They're not involved
Speaker 5: in the run, just like Buffalo did against us, just
Speaker 5: like Carolina tried to do against us as well. It
Speaker 5: keeps the big plays down. But can you prevent the drives?
Speaker 5: Can you prevent the new mo play new one play drives.
Speaker 4: Which means you got to stop the run with just
Speaker 4: your normal front.
Speaker 5: Just the same way that Buffalo tried to do against us,
Speaker 5: and they did they did.
Speaker 4: So what happens if you got the safeties deep and
Speaker 4: he gets in space.
Speaker 5: If he gets in space, then you better have convergence.
Speaker 5: You gotta have. Everyone has to go to the ball.
Speaker 5: And that's that's some things that just needs to be
Speaker 5: emphasized during practice. You have. It's a sense of urgency
Speaker 5: every time one of those guys gets the ball. And
Speaker 5: it's not just the wide receivers. I can't. I'm not
Speaker 5: sure if I have the pronunciation on the running back
Speaker 5: even if he's playing this.
Speaker 4: Time master or a.
Speaker 5: Chain. The rookie, ye An, that's another guy he's talking
Speaker 5: about getting in space.
Speaker 7: He has the most twenty plus yard runs among rookies.
Speaker 5: Look at you, Yeah, what's going on? He had well,
Speaker 5: it's good on this side of the watch this side
Speaker 5: of the podcast.
Speaker 3: Look good by the way he had good on this side.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were good.
Speaker 3: He had about twelve of those twenty yard runs against
Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos in a seventy to twenty one win earlier.
Speaker 4: Right exactly, I watched him.
Speaker 5: He can't. He can't stay healthy though.
Speaker 4: Last year at A and M just ripped the daylights
Speaker 4: out of l issue. He must have run for like
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty yards or something.
Speaker 5: Astronomical and he's extremely fast, and they says extreal fast.
Speaker 4: He would have hit the hole like he was.
Speaker 5: Is he faster than him? Is he faster than Hill?
Speaker 4: It'd be a nice race.
Speaker 5: No one's ever said it because we know how fast
Speaker 5: Tyreek is.
Speaker 4: Well, Tyreek was not fast enough. He quit on the
Speaker 4: forty yard dash with Micah right.
Speaker 5: Now he did the Pro Bowl?
Speaker 4: Now he did, Yeah he did.
Speaker 3: I remember Tyreek? You remember Tyreek with Kansas City? Yes,
Speaker 3: right before the hed Oh yeah, oh yeah, remember that
Speaker 3: plan put that crap down? Remember that place I just
Speaker 3: called that up for Yeah, we were talking about okay,
Speaker 3: throw it underneath and what do you do against?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: That was hall.
Speaker 4: What year was that?
Speaker 5: That was pandemic here?
Speaker 4: I think was it twenty twenty?
Speaker 5: I think it was. We were just pitiful.
Speaker 7: So I guess we'll just see if Tyreek plays the injury.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, he's playing. He's playing out later, he's playing.
Speaker 5: And see if you have a guy with a bad ankle, yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, you don't go after the ankle. But what
Speaker 5: you do is you put more pressure on him than
Speaker 5: you would otherwise, you know, make him show you that
Speaker 5: that ankle is good. Make him. You put more pressure
Speaker 5: on him to make plays in spite of the fact
Speaker 5: that ankle might be bothering him.
Speaker 3: It was actually twenty seventeen, I think.
Speaker 5: Was it really that we were that bad in seventeen.
Speaker 4: Defensively?
Speaker 5: I believe? Yeah.
Speaker 4: Nine and seven season, there was Kansas City November fifth.
Speaker 3: Cowboys had a fourteen to three lead late in the
Speaker 3: first staff with thirteen seconds left and fifty seven yard
Speaker 3: touchdown pass Alex Smith to Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 4: Because they were playing they were playing Hell Mary Prevent, Yeah,
Speaker 4: and they dumped it underneath and.
Speaker 5: See so you look at that play, No one converged,
Speaker 5: No one converged. You had, you know, some guys that
Speaker 5: were covering up up wide receivers over here and they
Speaker 5: probably just look.
Speaker 3: They were all back at the ten yard line, inside
Speaker 3: the fifteen yard line.
Speaker 5: If you look at Prevent right, well, once he catches
Speaker 5: the ball and he's not in the end zone, how
Speaker 5: about coming up and making a play.
Speaker 4: They were, you see, they were waiting for him to
Speaker 4: get to them.
Speaker 5: Now do we have do we have any players on
Speaker 5: this team that are not afraid on defense for this
Speaker 5: Tyreek Hill? Do we have those guys better be different.
Speaker 5: We gotta be different. They can't just be Parsons. It's
Speaker 5: gotta be Everyone out there has to be ready. You
Speaker 5: have to have your eyes on the ball at all
Speaker 5: times and wherever that wherever that ball is, you have
Speaker 5: to come up and make plays as a team. Pursuit drills, right,
Speaker 5: Pursuit drills. That's stuff we worked on when we went
Speaker 5: Pee Wee League.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you what one of the greatest college
Speaker 3: football coaches of all time did with Tyreek Hill on
Speaker 3: the other side one time when Tyreek Hill was at
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State. Okay, It's into the game basically, and OU
Speaker 3: is kicking off our punting from the OSU forty five fifty.
Speaker 3: I mean it was around midfield or inside in OSU's
Speaker 3: into the field and they're just punting. Tyreek is lined
Speaker 3: up at the ten yard line whatever, and so they punt.
Speaker 3: They get it off and it was a fair catch
Speaker 3: or something. I don't remember exactly what happened on it,
Speaker 3: and OSU was off side and OU elected to punt
Speaker 3: again for some reason. I'm getting it. I'm I'm sure
Speaker 3: I'm messing this story up, but the fact remains OU
Speaker 3: decided on their own to punt again to Tyreek Hill
Speaker 3: and he returned at ninety.
Speaker 5: Yards for for a touchdown. I remember, well, now if
Speaker 5: you listen to Tyree, I think he was either miked
Speaker 5: up one game that they lost, or it was the
Speaker 5: postgame press conference and he said, they said, well, what
Speaker 5: were they doing to you guys to control you? He said,
Speaker 5: they were just playing a deep cover too. And if
Speaker 5: that's coming from him, so we know what his weakness is.
Speaker 5: You know, that's his kryptonite. You have to have a
Speaker 5: safety over the top for him. But there must be
Speaker 5: pressure on him on the line of scrimmage. No free releases,
Speaker 5: and that's about That's all you can do. That's all
Speaker 5: you can do. You have to realize you have to
Speaker 5: give up a particular play on him. Don't give up
Speaker 5: deep plays, give up everything in front if you have to,
Speaker 5: and then play him deep. It's you know, it's a
Speaker 5: way to do it. And we've seen it done more
Speaker 5: than once, so it's not like it's some magic bean
Speaker 5: or something out there. You just have to play the
Speaker 5: defense that's already given him problems.
Speaker 4: So my solution to him is you got to get
Speaker 4: to Tua. But they've done a pretty good job of
Speaker 4: keeping him clean in the pocket. The Dolphins have here
Speaker 4: a list of the fewest quarterback hits aloud this year,
Speaker 4: and Miami is first with just forty eight forty eight
Speaker 4: their first. Philadelphia has fifty eight, Buffalo sixty two, oh
Speaker 4: by the way, and after that Baltimore sixty two, Indianapolis
Speaker 4: sixty four, and San Francisco sixty four. So protecting the
Speaker 4: quarterback seems to be pretty important now.
Speaker 5: It seems like tuas you know, when he's in on
Speaker 5: the roll, it's always about timing passes right, you know,
Speaker 5: and if we can just cover his first option, see,
Speaker 5: and that's when the guys can get to him.
Speaker 4: Fewest sacks allowed. Oh, by the way, it's Buffalo with nineteen.
Speaker 4: It was eighteen going into the Cowboys game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well a lot of that has to do with
Speaker 5: Josh being able to to run, yeah, and save some sacks.
Speaker 4: Kansas City twenty one sacks and then Miami twenty six
Speaker 4: sax leave belowed, San Francisco twenty six and the Rams
Speaker 4: twenty seven.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 7: Has the Dolphins had their starting line all season long
Speaker 7: like the Bells or did they face any injuries? Is
Speaker 7: my next question that I.
Speaker 5: Don't well, I don't think they've had much turnover in
Speaker 5: the offense.
Speaker 4: Well, after this break, maybe we can get that answer.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we will take that break. By the way,
Speaker 3: they were not playing in Keyzar Stadium when the Cowboys
Speaker 3: played the Niners in that seventy two game. They were
Speaker 3: at candles there at Candlestick. They moved out of Keysars
Speaker 3: Stadium after the nineteen seven seven season.
Speaker 4: Seventy one was yeah, I remember that Candlestick too.

Speaker 3: Okay, we continue with our final ten minutes with Everson
Speaker 3: before he leaves for Christmas break, and Everson is you
Speaker 3: are going to make your picks today?
Speaker 5: Are you going to win out?
Speaker 3: You're gonna text until Friday. I'm going to text and
Speaker 3: so we will have communication with him.
Speaker 5: On Yes, I'm not going off the grid. Thank you.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: Mickey is being very studious over here as he goes
Speaker 3: through the Dolphins game release.
Speaker 5: What did you come up with?
Speaker 4: So they've had problems on the offensive line. They started
Speaker 4: the season off with Lamb as the starter first two games,
Speaker 4: then Armstead Kindle Lance and then Lamb another four games,
Speaker 4: and then Harmstead, Armstead, arms Armstead, Lamb, Armstead, So the
Speaker 4: starter missed five games one to three, four, six games,
Speaker 4: seven games. Win was their starting left guard and he
Speaker 4: has not played since they played Philadelphia's.
Speaker 3: That's Isaiah Win, former first round draft pick of the
Speaker 3: Patriots in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4: He's missed seven games. The center are Connor Williams, by
Speaker 4: the way, who.
Speaker 3: For her second round the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: With a torn acl had missed five games or has
Speaker 4: missed five games. And the right guard is miss five games.
Speaker 3: Hunt, Robert Hunt, and.
Speaker 4: The only offensive lineman who has not missed a game right.
Speaker 3: Tackle Jackson, Austin Jackson.
Speaker 4: So they've had to answer your question, some shuffling on
Speaker 4: their offensive line. So if I count that up, that's
Speaker 4: ten twenty two missstarts by the starters. By comparison, the
Speaker 4: Cowboys are and they're still number one.
Speaker 7: Hun and they're still number one.
Speaker 4: I think that has a lot to do with Tua
Speaker 4: and probably the speed of their wide receivers getting open
Speaker 4: so fast.
Speaker 3: Well, a big issue for them against Tennessee and that
Speaker 3: Monday night game. They didn't have arms Armsteads, their starter
Speaker 3: at left tackle, and he's their high dollar guy. Uh,
Speaker 3: but he came back for the Jets game last week
Speaker 3: and fifty three snaps last week. So they were healthier
Speaker 3: against the.
Speaker 4: Jets, but they but they lost, and they.
Speaker 3: Lost Connor Williams in that game against Tennessee.
Speaker 4: So and then they've been without Hunt last six or
Speaker 4: seven games. So they've had injuries to answer your question.
Speaker 3: And that's a big difference between them and the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3: And you know the way Miami, the way Miami started
Speaker 3: the season, and you know, they're rolling everybody, and that's
Speaker 3: probably a big reason that they were slowed down considerably
Speaker 3: as the season went on, which, by the way, inconsistent.
Speaker 4: With Hill missing last week's games. Starting in his place,
Speaker 4: some guy named Cedric Wilson.
Speaker 5: Wow, how did they do well?
Speaker 4: I can find that out too Boise State.
Speaker 3: He had two catches for two yards, three targets and
Speaker 3: along of three by the way he did, he had
Speaker 3: two catches for two.
Speaker 5: Yards along of three.
Speaker 3: Let's see, that means a short of minus one.
Speaker 4: In other words, they didn't trust throwing to him.
Speaker 3: He didn't go deep. But yeah, he's there, he is there,
Speaker 3: but we're not consuming.
Speaker 5: We better not let him do. Jack Mike White, he
Speaker 5: better not do Jack.
Speaker 4: Mike White's the backup quarterback spent a year with the
Speaker 4: Cowboys and they still have Jason Pierre Paul on their roster.
Speaker 3: Yes, Jason Pierre Paul's with him.
Speaker 4: He is not anymore, not anymore.
Speaker 5: He was released yesterday.
Speaker 4: Oh, I guess I missed that. In his fourteenth fourteenth.
Speaker 5: That's a heck of a season. That's a heck of
Speaker 5: a career. That's a that's a nice young man.
Speaker 4: How many years did you get in thirteen thirteen? That's
Speaker 4: a pretty good career.
Speaker 5: Is you know who is big? You know who is big?
Speaker 3: And Jason Pierre Paul's development John Blake. I don't know
Speaker 3: they crosspaths maybe I'm not sure where, but I think
Speaker 3: Blake was also before he passed away, he was also
Speaker 3: doing some training. Oh he was whatever, And that's true
Speaker 3: Jason Pierre Paul. I remember watching John Blake's funeral service
Speaker 3: and Jason Pierre Paul was one of the Border players
Speaker 3: who came here to Dallas to his memorial service.
Speaker 5: Wow. Yeah, stuff.
Speaker 3: Anyway, just because they released him yesterday doesn't mean he
Speaker 3: won't be there on Saturday.
Speaker 4: On Friday, he's uh, he'll be thirty five on New
Speaker 4: Year's Day. Maybe they signed him to the practice squad
Speaker 4: or they had to wait.
Speaker 3: The biggest thing with this Dolphins team, though, that has
Speaker 3: worked for them this year is their quarterback has been
Speaker 3: able to stay healthy. And that was the biggest question
Speaker 3: mark after last season was would Tua be able to
Speaker 3: play a full season with the concussion issues that he's had.
Speaker 3: That's why that Mike White signing in the off season
Speaker 3: was a big one for them because and I question, Okay, sadly,
Speaker 3: can Tua make it through a whole season, and that
Speaker 3: would be the one thing that would stop them from
Speaker 3: being able to do what they want to do. And
Speaker 3: he's fortunately for him and for the Dolphins, he's been
Speaker 3: able to stay healthy all year.
Speaker 4: He's only fortunate. Mike White has only attempted six passes, right, so.
Speaker 3: It's been it's been all to all season long.
Speaker 5: And though he's nice, yet once that backfoot hits, he's
Speaker 5: getting rid of it. That's the best way for him
Speaker 5: to stay healthy is to get rid of the balls,
Speaker 5: don't hold on to it.
Speaker 4: Here are the two I think statistics that really stand out.
Speaker 4: He's completed seventy one percent of his passes. They're averaging
Speaker 4: eight point six an attempt, by the way, which is
Speaker 4: really good when you're getting close to nine.
Speaker 3: And how much of that is run after cash?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he's only run thirty times, so that
Speaker 4: means he's not like jumping out of the pocket at
Speaker 4: the you know, at the first sign of problems. Fifty
Speaker 4: five yards rushing, no touchdowns, but he's thrown for twenty
Speaker 4: five and ten interceptions. So his quarterback rating is one
Speaker 4: oh six, which by the way, is right above Dak
Speaker 4: who dropped to one oh four after this last game.
Speaker 4: So he's got the second highest quarterback rating in the
Speaker 4: NFL right now, which is probably a significant improvement over
Speaker 4: last year. So again, remember all the everybody's I don't
Speaker 4: know if this guy was worth the pick, this, this,
Speaker 4: and this. Sometimes it takes quarterbacks a year or two,
Speaker 4: maybe three to really flourish in the NFL, and he
Speaker 4: certainly got the statistics right now. So he look at efficiency.
Speaker 4: That's huge.
Speaker 3: And when he was healthy last year, in thirteen starts
Speaker 3: last year, he had very similar stats as for eight
Speaker 3: picks and twenty five touchdown passes and eight point nine
Speaker 3: yards per attempt, sixty five percent completion percentage. So I
Speaker 3: mean he's been that in his career. If he's as
Speaker 3: long as he can stay healthy.
Speaker 5: I'm still trying to look up Christmas games for myself.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: One of the things though, you know, the regular.
Speaker 4: Subs me, I guess he only got five days.
Speaker 3: You know, many years he's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be looking at that fall night. I hope you're
Speaker 4: shopping better than you're looking up.
Speaker 5: For shopping today as well. So yes, I hope you.
Speaker 3: Got like one minute, I'm.
Speaker 5: Calling this in. You didn't have any calling this in.
Speaker 5: I'm sitting that in with I picked the clicks.
Speaker 4: You only had that one with the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: So if you had anything we had in eighty three,
Speaker 5: well eighty three, I think, yeah, we had eighty two,
Speaker 5: but eighty three we had the uh we had the
Speaker 5: Rams on the twenty six, and that's when right Dickerson
Speaker 5: rans out of our own stadium. That was the ice
Speaker 5: Bowl game for us because the ice in the end zone.
Speaker 5: That was horrible.
Speaker 3: Well, the other thing is back then, the many years
Speaker 3: the regular season ended before Christmas Day.
Speaker 4: So true, and you had you had Philadelphia your second
Speaker 4: year and that I'm guessing that season got extended because
Speaker 4: of the strike, right yep. Because the last regular season
Speaker 4: game was played January third, eighty four.
Speaker 5: We did not make the playoffs.
Speaker 3: That was a Dorset game.
Speaker 4: Yes, Minnesota nine nine yards and a half.
Speaker 5: That's good. See they said you could call that the
Speaker 5: Everson Walls game. I did. I got an interception that game.
Speaker 5: I got a flip simultaneously, got an interception and flipped
Speaker 5: at the same time, So that could be an Everson
Speaker 5: Walls game. I don't hear you saying my name on
Speaker 5: that one, Bill.
Speaker 3: That's because you're we reserved your game for the other.
Speaker 5: Game, right, the other game, right.
Speaker 3: But we'll just call that game the flip There you
Speaker 3: go catch game and the flip game. Yeah right, okay,
Speaker 3: So uh we give the floor to Everson for the
Speaker 3: last minute or so. Here the final mixed shot before Christmas.
Speaker 3: Here before his little Christmas break.
Speaker 7: And before the Cowboys head to Miami. Any last words
Speaker 7: for him.
Speaker 5: Put your track shoes on, baby, that's it. Put your
Speaker 5: track shoes on. They're going to be trying to run
Speaker 5: by us. They're going to try and embarrass us. They're
Speaker 5: just like us. They love to get out early and fast,
Speaker 5: and that's when they play at their best. When they
Speaker 5: play ahead. They don't play well from behind. I think
Speaker 5: we play better from behind and I think we can
Speaker 5: come out here, and I do. I truly believe that
Speaker 5: we can beat these guys. But I want them to
Speaker 5: believe it, not me. I want them to believe it,
Speaker 5: because when they go some places, I don't think they
Speaker 5: believe in themselves at all. I don't think they believed
Speaker 5: in what they were doing in Buffalo. They didn't look
Speaker 5: like it. So as far as I'm concerned, they have
Speaker 5: to go out there and believe in themselves so they
Speaker 5: can do this, and I hope they can do it
Speaker 5: without a Jimmy Johnson type rant coming from their coach.
Speaker 5: Be mature enough to go out there and understand what
Speaker 5: you have to do as a team and be done
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 3: Amen, all right, now does it?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 3: Everson? You have a very merry Christmas.
Speaker 5: Thank you. Yeah, y'all as well, and remember we're not
Speaker 5: doing this until okay, I won't be here.
Speaker 4: Has com have been canceled once?
Speaker 5: Only Savannah question Mark.
Speaker 4: Saying underneath my Christmas?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: That does it for a Wednesday? Or it is Wednesday
Speaker 3: mix shines and some of us will shout at you
Speaker 3: again tomorrow.
Speaker 5: And go Cowboys.
