Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is Nick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. Dallas how Boys, the go team of
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl as one again. Here it is a victory.
Speaker 1: We can get out. I'm kind of where they thinking.
Speaker 1: That is what it says, right, I could just go
Speaker 1: with the horns. The horns is firing enough to me,
Speaker 1: that's all. This team is inspired enough for me. It's
Speaker 1: three in a row now and now the Cowboys taking
Speaker 1: on the defending Super Bowl champions next Sunday in LA.
Speaker 1: This is Mick Shots. We're live inside the SWBC podcast
Speaker 1: studio on another victory Monday for your Dallas Cowboys, Bill Jones,
Speaker 1: Everson Walls, and Mickey Spagnola. Mickey, you have a smile
Speaker 1: on your face this morning or now it's afternoon. It's
Speaker 1: I know they just dawned on me when you said that,
Speaker 1: because now the Cowboys survived their short week and the
Speaker 1: Rams will have a short week's exactly right, because the
Speaker 1: Rams are playing the forty nine ers tonight in San Francisco. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they gotta travel turn about his fair play, right.
Speaker 1: We'll see what the Rams have after this game because
Speaker 1: the Niners same ingredients go the Cowboys tough d you know, offenses,
Speaker 1: back up quarterback, Yeah, that kind of thing. We'll see
Speaker 1: what they stand because Matthew Stafford is in uh, he's
Speaker 1: not in Holland Park mold right now. He's in Detroit
Speaker 1: lying molding these interceptions and giving people chances. So look
Speaker 1: at Everson came dressed up. We won, man, we won.
Speaker 1: The step up on the cowboy gear. You know, Spags
Speaker 1: won't won't give me anything. You know, well, I was
Speaker 1: eight minutes away from coming with Missouri gear, not only
Speaker 1: a shirt but a hat. Oh do we want to
Speaker 1: review college football Saturday? First? Do you want to? He
Speaker 1: would love to because he went a second. The band
Speaker 1: was the best band in the stadium. Do they still
Speaker 1: have a G on? They put the G back on
Speaker 1: the helmet? They put the G back on the helmet,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't worth it. It didn't work. What Georgia
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart was eight minutes away from taking the G
Speaker 1: off the Georgia helmet that Spags was gonna be a
Speaker 1: grey he was what did you say, upset, told you
Speaker 1: fifty year anniversary. It almost came true. That's great, fifty
Speaker 1: year anniversary of the game that they went to the
Speaker 1: same thing and they went to Order Dame defeated Order
Speaker 1: Dame in seventy two and one. Was that part of
Speaker 1: the flashback on the showing the game? It should have been.
Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't ask me. People aren't old enough
Speaker 1: to remember that. Yeah, it's Missouri. Nobody cares. No, it
Speaker 1: was Missouri, and I knew something bad would happen in
Speaker 1: the end, and it did. And a shout out to
Speaker 1: the TCU horn from about that. Oh whatever, that's that's
Speaker 1: what I said. Sorry, I'm so disciplined. What is happening? Man?
Speaker 1: I mean, you're part of the reason that coach left
Speaker 1: last year. He saw a comment that cupboard is bare.
Speaker 1: There's no ways. Oh the Cubbard should never be bad,
Speaker 1: should never be bad. And that's why the program is
Speaker 1: in great hands right now with preventables. Watch. They'll be back,
Speaker 1: all right, all right? What they will be back this
Speaker 1: week again Texas though or the next week. But next
Speaker 1: year they'll be back all right now about this Cowboys team,
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about things right now. I feel
Speaker 1: like they've been able to weather the storm that was
Speaker 1: bruined after the first game, and they needed to be
Speaker 1: three and one after four games. Well you know, I
Speaker 1: probably you probably would have taken two and two and
Speaker 1: most people were thinking, you know, just be one in
Speaker 1: three going into LA. So yeah, this is uh, you know,
Speaker 1: this game. These three games have almost been duplicates of
Speaker 1: each other. They've won in the same style. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how many. That's why I feel the same.
Speaker 1: I don't feel any better or worse. Yeah, this week
Speaker 1: after last week, because last week was that was a
Speaker 1: step right, you know, winning on the road eastern opponent. That's,
Speaker 1: by the way, three and one right now also and
Speaker 1: bounce back very strong. Yeah, yesterday, So how did Chicago
Speaker 1: win two games? Well they played Houston one of those
Speaker 1: games and the other ways a driving rainstorm against San Francisco. Interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you can't put asterix on these wins, that's right,
Speaker 1: That's right. That's what somebody tried to say to me,
Speaker 1: and I said, you only can beat who they tell
Speaker 1: you to play it, right, and it doesn't matter you know,
Speaker 1: you're playing shorthanded with a backup quarterback and got guys missing,
Speaker 1: and you know what, they're hanging in there. But I
Speaker 1: don't know how many times we can say it about
Speaker 1: complimentary football, but they do just enough offensively, The defense
Speaker 1: plays well, the kicker kicks well, they don't turn the
Speaker 1: ball over thanks to a couple of penalties, and you
Speaker 1: know it's been the same pattern. You know, well those
Speaker 1: the the interception came because oh yeah, because he held
Speaker 1: the guy that football was going, I think he was.
Speaker 1: He was thrown there, so you can really put a
Speaker 1: mark on Okay, that guy was being held in case
Speaker 1: you didn't see it, I'm throwing it to him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And when I went back and looked, I saw where
Speaker 1: the hold. Hell where the hold took place, and it
Speaker 1: was in the middle of the field where the ball
Speaker 1: was going exactly so. But yeah, I mean, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's like I wrote in my column that's probably getting
Speaker 1: posted soon. It's like, you know, you'd like to pinpoint
Speaker 1: and say this is why they won, but no, it's
Speaker 1: this huge circle of why they won. You know, it's
Speaker 1: and it's not just one player, it's several players stepping
Speaker 1: up making a contribution. Even on defense. You can't say, well,
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons had four sacks. You know, you didn't have
Speaker 1: any sacks. But they still had two sacks. They had
Speaker 1: eleven quarterback hits, and everybody kind of stood stood up
Speaker 1: and made their deal. To the point Duran Bland, I
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody realized he was still on the
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. Had to play his first defense
Speaker 1: of NFL snaps and played fifty nine of them. Played
Speaker 1: very well. And I'm not surprised he played well too,
Speaker 1: because we saw that, yes the preseason, that was my guy.
Speaker 1: I asked you on the show, who was number thirty
Speaker 1: at the time? Number twenty six? Now and and and
Speaker 1: early in the game, and I was at the stadium
Speaker 1: for our pregame shop, and I went to the house
Speaker 1: and watched before I were going into the TV studio.
Speaker 1: And so I'm sitting there going, I was, okay, twenty six.
Speaker 1: Remind myself myself twenty six. I said, well, it must
Speaker 1: be twenty eight, it must it must be hooking. No,
Speaker 1: I know, it's bags and I were watching, we were
Speaker 1: watching them warm up, remember, and I asked you who
Speaker 1: that was? Who was number twenty six. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: said that's Bland. Yeah, that's before the show. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: because Jordan Lewis came up with a sore groin, and
Speaker 1: I thought it happened in the first series, it happened
Speaker 1: in the warm up, Yeah, pregame. And that's another reason,
Speaker 1: by the way, that you listen to the radio broadcast,
Speaker 1: askers Christie Scales had it nailed, and on the TV broadcast,
Speaker 1: they did not realize that Jordan Lewis was not playing
Speaker 1: in this game. They did not until the second half
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, and that's because Bland was doing
Speaker 1: such a good job. So yeah, so you get that
Speaker 1: guy to stuff. They would have figured it out if
Speaker 1: Bland had his interception to the first half, and he
Speaker 1: had so he gets he gets a pick. Diggs gets
Speaker 1: a pick. Looked like Everson Walls Willie to that point.
Speaker 1: I looked it up last night because Diggs now has
Speaker 1: sixteen career interceptions in his first thirty two NFL games,
Speaker 1: And of course there's been no one in Cowboys history
Speaker 1: who has had that many interceptions in his first thirty
Speaker 1: two games, right, Mickey, I think somebody did it in
Speaker 1: maybe fewer games. H oh. Fact, I looked In fact,
Speaker 1: if you include, if you include the postseason in nighteen
Speaker 1: eighty one, where this gentleman had two picks, he actually
Speaker 1: had twenty interceptions in his first twenty seven NFL games.
Speaker 1: And the man we speak of, of course, as Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and I didn't start until my fifth game. So let's yeah,
Speaker 1: let's remember that I was leading I was leading the
Speaker 1: league in interceptions and still on the bench. So that's
Speaker 1: that's to me. I take great, great pride. That sounds
Speaker 1: stubborn that coach you're out here, Bill, I like you, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know something about you. I like, but listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna just say two words. Dante Fowler
Speaker 1: had a nice game. He's he's been steady trending your
Speaker 1: pick to click? He was not Okay, no, no he
Speaker 1: was not. Who was your pick to click? Tyler? Tyler Smith?
Speaker 1: I like him more game I can't remember. I thought
Speaker 1: the running game would be better. Well, they they sure
Speaker 1: stuffed it. Yeah, that was that was a great was
Speaker 1: heck of the defensive line? Yeah? They played against even
Speaker 1: without Chris Yeah, I mean Pollard had eight carries for
Speaker 1: six yards. They weren't you know, we're not going to
Speaker 1: let us when you get an eight yard loss on
Speaker 1: the play whatever it was. He had three, but one
Speaker 1: of us is but yeah, one of them was a
Speaker 1: big loss. And when that happens, then you're kind of
Speaker 1: behind the chains as far as getting into But but
Speaker 1: still the trend is there. You want to you still
Speaker 1: want to force it down their throats. They're still going
Speaker 1: to You're still gonna have to stop the run. You're
Speaker 1: not just gonna play pass on us. Well, in the
Speaker 1: Eagles the week before, only had three yards of carry
Speaker 1: against them. They're running backs. Yeah, I mean, Hurt's probably
Speaker 1: up the ante a little bit, but they're running backs
Speaker 1: for the Eagles. Uh, Miles Sanders and whoever else gained well,
Speaker 1: whoever else ran against him only every three yards of carry.
Speaker 1: Those guys ATase guys. Those guys in the middle are
Speaker 1: hard to move and they don't have Chase Young out there.
Speaker 1: How about my boy? Well, I know, oh you played
Speaker 1: like quip. But one thiner did did very well. That's right, boy,
Speaker 1: he that was that was quick on his person. Man
Speaker 1: Tone Settings sacked to start the game and they had
Speaker 1: a tackle for another tackle for loss too. Well. They
Speaker 1: they the guard and he went to sleep because they
Speaker 1: blitzed and the center took the blitzer and the guard
Speaker 1: just stood there and goes, okay, go hey, whatever it
Speaker 1: takes to make me look good. Out he ol lated it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, um, and they did. They exposed what
Speaker 1: Washington I mean. Nick Martin wasn't on the team twelve
Speaker 1: days ago, and so he was starting at center. And
Speaker 1: then uh, Trey Turner, they're starting right guard, got hurt
Speaker 1: and was out after eleven plays, and so saw Digg
Speaker 1: Charles was starting at right guard after that. And so
Speaker 1: you you know, we're the weakness. Man. It's tired to
Speaker 1: with backups on your offensive line. Third center and that's
Speaker 1: their third center and their third offensive guard that we're
Speaker 1: playing in it. I was last last week. I was.
Speaker 1: I was assuming that they would address those problems that
Speaker 1: they've always had in these previous games, and that's giving
Speaker 1: up pressure, giving up sacks. I believe in this game
Speaker 1: we pressured them more than any other team this ye
Speaker 1: think it was in double digits more than that. The
Speaker 1: quarterback hits were eleven. Yeah, yeah, and then there was pressure.
Speaker 1: So they not only did they not address it, it
Speaker 1: got worse coming up against our defense. The sacks weren't
Speaker 1: is high, but they the pressure certainly. So when you
Speaker 1: see something like that, did they give a guy a
Speaker 1: sack when it's grounding? No, they don't. They should, they
Speaker 1: really should, But I have to go back in the
Speaker 1: history of the league and update the sacks. They know,
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't care if they will not. They
Speaker 1: haven't done. I mean, I could have made an argument
Speaker 1: the guy was down before he grounded it. I've always
Speaker 1: thought that if it's a grounding penalty, that should be
Speaker 1: a sack. Yeah, because the results are a sack, it's
Speaker 1: a loss up down, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, because that
Speaker 1: was that was Yeah. They chased his button all around
Speaker 1: and ended up with a fifty six quarterback reading. But
Speaker 1: when you on him like that, yeah, man, the dbs
Speaker 1: are just back there, just drooling, right, you know, just
Speaker 1: waiting to feast. So and they did. It wasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: a bunch of interceptions, but a lot of passes defended.
Speaker 1: Bland had won digs in the end zone. Those three
Speaker 1: break that's a touchdown if touchdown if he does knock
Speaker 1: that down right right, Yeah, And I noticed he didn't
Speaker 1: have any tackles, So to me, somebody, well he wasn't
Speaker 1: putting his head in there. Hell no, the guy was covered,
Speaker 1: wasn't catching any passes, so he didn't have to tackle him.
Speaker 1: Three catches for like what fifteen yards for McLaren. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they kept him in a track. So. Uh So that's
Speaker 1: what goes back to what I was saying. You brought
Speaker 1: up Filer, we brought up Bland. Uh you bright bring
Speaker 1: up Digs. Vander Esh had another good game, So it
Speaker 1: was like, you know, there was a lot of guys
Speaker 1: contributing to what they did, holding um, holding Washington to
Speaker 1: less than three hundred yards and wentzt one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy passing. That's that's that's pretty good in this league. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: when you look at it, we didn't digress. We did
Speaker 1: what we were supposed to do. Yeah, and I like that.
Speaker 1: We just took care of business in the pedestrian way.
Speaker 1: Let's just let's go on about our business and get
Speaker 1: better each game. I thought this game would be a
Speaker 1: lot like the Giants game, and it started out, I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, kind of grinding two field goals to start.
Speaker 1: You know what was the Giants game? It was six six,
Speaker 1: and this was a seven to six game. Early but
Speaker 1: the Cowboys showed improvement this week over what they did
Speaker 1: on Monday Night. I felt like uh in terms of
Speaker 1: and and a lot of that had to do with
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop being back awesome. They hit, they hit big plays,
Speaker 1: They got some chunk plays. I think I had four plays.
Speaker 1: They didn't drop the big plays. That's right. Yeah, mistakes,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's really. Had we were solid and everybody
Speaker 1: we did, they would have had at least one more
Speaker 1: big play Money Night against the Giants if we dropped
Speaker 1: right well, and they would have had two more in
Speaker 1: this game if not for the interference calls to the
Speaker 1: ones I can gallop right, but they had four of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three yards or more and they had a forty,
Speaker 1: a thirty one and a thirty or forty two. I
Speaker 1: think it was. What did Michael say after the game?
Speaker 1: How do they feel? Oh? He was Yeah, he was great.
Speaker 1: But you know what the best part about it is
Speaker 1: everybody else felt great for him. Yeah you saw that,
Speaker 1: you know you? Yeah, that was a hug. That was right.
Speaker 1: They would genuinely happen. They weren't just celebrating. They celebrated him. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: such a likable guy. Yeah, he doesn't. He might be
Speaker 1: the most popular guy in that room. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: just because his whole persona. I mean, there should be
Speaker 1: a stat you know, he ends up with two catches
Speaker 1: for I don't know, twenty four yards, but he also
Speaker 1: had two pass interference probably for over sixty yards dragging
Speaker 1: him down. So yeah, I think he certainly, you know,
Speaker 1: made an impact on Let's let's explore more of that.
Speaker 1: What this offense looks like now that gallup is back
Speaker 1: when we come back here on a victory Monday edition

Speaker 1: laughing about? Man, nothing that you didn't like my read? No,
Speaker 1: I loved it was a perfect read. I couldn't figure
Speaker 1: out what your laughing about. Producer Supreme has a sense
Speaker 1: of human Oh okay, we're talking about Metcalf. We're talking
Speaker 1: about the Detroit game. Though, the Seattle Detroit game. They
Speaker 1: scored a lot of points. Yeah, yeah they then yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the running game. Yeah. Metcalf was busting out
Speaker 1: the bust out career, bust out performance today yesterday. Chris
Speaker 1: bib like that. That was good. I like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: run Um Tony Romo had a great line yesterday. I
Speaker 1: busted out laughing. Uh, Packers Patriots game, and the Patriots
Speaker 1: are trying to substitute, and so Aaron Rodgers is trying
Speaker 1: to get his center to snap the football and get
Speaker 1: him called for a penalty and so, uh, the FCC
Speaker 1: won't like it. But there was a word that Rogers
Speaker 1: said prior to snap the ball. There was an adjective
Speaker 1: in there which got out on the air. It romo
Speaker 1: is just really funny. He said immediately he said, did
Speaker 1: you hear that? He said, come on, guys, we need
Speaker 1: to snap the ball quicker. So, having having said that,
Speaker 1: I can't remember if I watched. Maybe it was the
Speaker 1: Saints game, the one in London. One of the players
Speaker 1: got hurt and he's trying to get off the field
Speaker 1: right and he's like three steps from the sideline. You
Speaker 1: can tell he's hurt. They threw a flag for too
Speaker 1: many on the field. It's like, you should have stopped
Speaker 1: the clock to let the guy off. Well, they would
Speaker 1: say that he should have just collapsed over. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: then that would have cost him a time out and
Speaker 1: it was late and they needed there. I think it was.
Speaker 1: I think it was that game, and it's like, what
Speaker 1: are they doing? What are they doing? And then you're
Speaker 1: truly injured. You're worried about injuries and you're gonna call
Speaker 1: the guy glimping off the field. It's like, right, and
Speaker 1: they missed a false start. Wa make you I want
Speaker 1: you to continue what you're saying here of producers, supreme,
Speaker 1: I think we have a mix shot right, hit it
Speaker 1: and go watch, go watch the game. I want to
Speaker 1: say it was Washington guard on the right side. They're
Speaker 1: sitting there, so dig Charles or Trey Turner. Was it
Speaker 1: earlier the year? It was later in the game, Charles.
Speaker 1: The guy took a half step back before the snap
Speaker 1: and didn't call nothing. They're pointing and they ran a
Speaker 1: play and they ended up with like a fifteen year version.
Speaker 1: And this was after Beads flinched and they called a
Speaker 1: false start. He I don't even know what he did.
Speaker 1: He was turning to say something and I don't know
Speaker 1: actually the replay did there was something before what they
Speaker 1: showed on the replay and when you look at it,
Speaker 1: but they weren't even said I don't know what it was,
Speaker 1: because if they said he did this with the ball,
Speaker 1: but he was just moving. It happens all the time
Speaker 1: when you're making an adjustment. That's all it was, right,
Speaker 1: But the one with the half a step back and
Speaker 1: any froze and then they snapped the ball. How do
Speaker 1: you miss that? It's impossible. That's why Cooper Rush is
Speaker 1: living right. On the interceptions, at least they made those calls, yeah,
Speaker 1: on the penalties. And when you have a good defense
Speaker 1: controlling the game, then moments like that you can overcome,
Speaker 1: right yeah. Yeah, that's that's the luxury that we have
Speaker 1: right now. You know, And I think when you look
Speaker 1: back at the game, you forget. You know, Washington was
Speaker 1: up seven to six, you know, they were they were losing,
Speaker 1: and halftime it's just twelve seven, so you know, you're
Speaker 1: just lined in a way. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: even when Washington went on, you didn't, right, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, there was no moments, right yeah. You know.
Speaker 1: The other weird thing that took place is the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I was looking at because I thought the defense did
Speaker 1: a pretty good job, especially on third down. So Washington's
Speaker 1: five or fifteen, I'm going, okay, that's good. Then I
Speaker 1: looked across and the Cowboys are five or fifteen, and
Speaker 1: all five of them were on that first touchdown drive.
Speaker 1: The rest of them they offered in the second half.
Speaker 1: They were over six in the second half on third downs,
Speaker 1: and they still scored twenty five points somehow, Someway, Well,
Speaker 1: I tell you, good defense gives you a chrishion. But
Speaker 1: they had they had really bad field position. I figured
Speaker 1: out at one point of the game. I think it
Speaker 1: was like six or seven possessions in their average field
Speaker 1: possession was like the thirteen, fifteen or thirteen yard line,
Speaker 1: and I can tell you what it was. So you
Speaker 1: when you hear that, then you think, okay, well, Turpin
Speaker 1: should have had many opportunities to return some good punts,
Speaker 1: but he really didn't take advantage of it. Yesterday now,
Speaker 1: they began at the twenty five, the ten, the thirteen,
Speaker 1: the sixteen, the twenty five, the seventeen, the fifteen, and
Speaker 1: not till the last possession in the third quarter when
Speaker 1: they started at the thirty eight the guy shanked the punt.
Speaker 1: That was their field position up until up until that point.
Speaker 1: So they had to drive the length of the field
Speaker 1: if they were going to score anything. But they managed
Speaker 1: to do enough to get the four field goals, and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the fourth quarter and have drive it
Speaker 1: started the nine yard line right and that was when
Speaker 1: Anger headed as the lone shanked punt of his Cowboys
Speaker 1: career gole. I don't know if he tried to load
Speaker 1: up on it or what so. Even so, even Washington
Speaker 1: takes over at the plus thirty with eleven twenty left
Speaker 1: in the game and they still can't score. Well, hopefully
Speaker 1: Turpin learned a lesson. When you call a fair catch
Speaker 1: and the ball goes over your head, that's one thing
Speaker 1: to fake it like you're going to catch it, But
Speaker 1: you know what, go back and look and see where
Speaker 1: it hit. Right, That thing almost bounced back and hit
Speaker 1: him in the blue if someone grabbed him and they
Speaker 1: and he all of a sudden, he because it hit
Speaker 1: one of those guys, one of the He was frustrated.
Speaker 1: He was mad because he thought he had one right right,
Speaker 1: he did not take advantage of several opportunities that he
Speaker 1: had yesterday. Well he didn't really have the guy who
Speaker 1: was pretty good way, he's a former Oklahoma really is
Speaker 1: one of those left handed punters. They caused problems second
Speaker 1: straight left footage, Yes, exactly. Well, Anger hit one yesterday.
Speaker 1: He's we've got to have two of the more consistent
Speaker 1: kickers in the league right now. Yeah? Absolutely, Oh so, now,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden place kickers. Great, yeah, we see.
Speaker 1: Now you don't need the Missouri placekicker, by the way,
Speaker 1: went five for five in that game, plus a fifty
Speaker 1: six and a fifty one. Yeard, they need to draft him?
Speaker 1: What round fifth? Yay? So wait, you take a kicker
Speaker 1: in the fifth, but you want to take a guard
Speaker 1: in the first. Come on, man, where's my where's your
Speaker 1: guard playing? Right now? He's playing tackle so awfully well,
Speaker 1: by the way, I might add, now, they had a
Speaker 1: little problems early with McGovern and Peters had kind of
Speaker 1: had his hands full and a couple of them too early.
Speaker 1: They kind of staying now and yeah, well everybody has
Speaker 1: trouble with that, man, I mean that's a you have
Speaker 1: a backup in there well after Chris went down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so they're still playing very well. All right. How
Speaker 1: do you like the looks of the receiving corps with
Speaker 1: Noah Brown as you're a number three receiver? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: like it a lot. I do too, um, you know,
Speaker 1: and they that's what I forgot to look. I wanted
Speaker 1: to see how many snaps Gallop ended up getting, but
Speaker 1: he got thirty nine. That's sixty four. I was thinking
Speaker 1: maybe Brown had forty five, forty eight, forty yaps and
Speaker 1: CD was at fifty eight gallop at thirty nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so a lot of times if they were in two
Speaker 1: wide receivers, Brown was the second wide receiver quite a
Speaker 1: bit when they went two tight ends. How about Ferguson,
Speaker 1: He had a nice catch um. But yeah, that looks
Speaker 1: really solid right now. And I wonder what happens when
Speaker 1: James Washington gets back, if he's gonna even fit in
Speaker 1: or if he's gonna be able to break in and
Speaker 1: it was in Pittsburgh for him. Yeah, this coming well,
Speaker 1: maybe not the Rams game, but the Rams as well.
Speaker 1: Good defensive backs, good cornerbacks. When you think of that
Speaker 1: first game against Tampa also, good cornerbacks. Go second day,
Speaker 1: Dak had to really thread needles just to get a
Speaker 1: completion for over five yards. Right when we go up
Speaker 1: against I'm thinking Philadelphia right now. Those defensive backs right
Speaker 1: now for Philly, they are really playing. I mean they
Speaker 1: are balling, They're making a difference in ball games. They
Speaker 1: did the same thing yesterday against Jacksonville when I saw them.
Speaker 1: I can't remember what they played the week before. Was
Speaker 1: it the Vikings? They were They shut the receivers down,
Speaker 1: the receivers that were hot, by the way they were
Speaker 1: trending up with big time, we're gonna need every good
Speaker 1: receiver out there. That's gonna be a great match running
Speaker 1: and running good routes. Yes, like CD's touchdowns. He's looking good,
Speaker 1: he's looking good. How did how did? How did? How
Speaker 1: did Washington do this? You remember the drive that started
Speaker 1: with him three consecutive catches for fifty five yards, two
Speaker 1: of them the linebacker was trailing them. What are they thinking?
Speaker 1: Was that he was in the slot though? Right right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it happened in another game, the second one, the second
Speaker 1: one they were in his own and uh it was
Speaker 1: a run fake into the linebacker came up and so
Speaker 1: he was late dropping in. He back open and even
Speaker 1: at times when when a linebacker will get calling the slot,
Speaker 1: just like in the Tampa game yesterday as well. And
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of having Michael Gallery back too, right,
Speaker 1: and with Noah Brown now with playing time, and now
Speaker 1: you've got even more of an opportunity where you can
Speaker 1: get CD in the in the slot. And even on
Speaker 1: Gallup's touchdown, he went into the end zone and he's
Speaker 1: going left and then he realized rush is rushing out
Speaker 1: to the right, and he turned and went the other way,
Speaker 1: and the only guy trailing him was a linebacker out
Speaker 1: of rand him easily, you know, because the other because
Speaker 1: the other safety and I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: the dB on him went to the middle of the
Speaker 1: field where the tight end was. I think it was
Speaker 1: the tight end, and and they left him violence. I
Speaker 1: think the tight end was open too. What was your
Speaker 1: take on CD's touchdown the defensive coverage on that help?
Speaker 1: I think the safety was in fluent once by the
Speaker 1: slot receiver. I thought so too. He was, yes, And
Speaker 1: I thought the cornerback thought he had help in the middle, right, Well,
Speaker 1: he really did. I mean he wanted to play outside
Speaker 1: shoulder right, he was too far, but he was way out.
Speaker 1: He was too far outside. Yeah. But but even so
Speaker 1: they were talking about matter because he expected the safety.
Speaker 1: They were playing clearly cover four right, Yeah, and this
Speaker 1: but that when you when that number two receiver, when
Speaker 1: the slot receiver gets an advantage when he can occupy
Speaker 1: his eyesight, that's all you needed, just that one step.
Speaker 1: So my question, I guess is because Greg Olsen, who
Speaker 1: was the TV analyst, he was crediting CD what a
Speaker 1: great route it was, and I don't question that, okay,
Speaker 1: but what was it? Was it more the route or
Speaker 1: was it a bust? I think you can go all three?
Speaker 1: The number two receiver caught the safeties of eye. When
Speaker 1: CD ran the route, he bent out to the sidelines.
Speaker 1: When you still up with an out, then that widen
Speaker 1: the cornerback, so he's got to steal weapon, got a
Speaker 1: respect the out route or maybe even the cornerball. So
Speaker 1: all it did was bent him out And it was
Speaker 1: just a skinny post, right, a skinny post. Whether the
Speaker 1: cornerback was really just too intimidated by the out move, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all it was. That was good. It was just
Speaker 1: a good rob But either way, it didn't matter whether
Speaker 1: even if he was closer, he was still going to
Speaker 1: be open. Yeah, because he was getting because he wasn't yeh,
Speaker 1: heat wasn't in the ball. There was no one else
Speaker 1: inside either, so he was still going to catch that
Speaker 1: even if the cornerback was closer. The cover for bad
Speaker 1: call to me down there. Yeah, you gotta be thirty
Speaker 1: yard line. You don't have to wait back getting be
Speaker 1: deep on one on one necessarily, So why go to
Speaker 1: a safe zone like that. But I don't think they
Speaker 1: have confidence in their cornerbacks at all. I have to
Speaker 1: give him him. Well, we saw out of William Jackson,
Speaker 1: who was a former first round draft Pickston Yeah, Cincinnatti,
Speaker 1: he was first round draft pick, got to Houston, and
Speaker 1: he was he was having some difficulties young. Yes, yes, hey,
Speaker 1: but you know what that's gonna happen with those three
Speaker 1: guys on the field for sure. All right, we continue
Speaker 1: with more mix shots than just a moment. We paid
Speaker 1: how much for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Can you pass me a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey,
Speaker 1: Oh look at that. That's not the end, No way.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right?
Speaker 1: Five times not enough times for everyone who traded in
Speaker 1: rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi
Speaker 1: zero sugar, that's what I like. Nobody protects you from mayhem?
Speaker 1: Like all stay you hear that. I'm a torrential downpour.
Speaker 1: Torrential what's that even mean? It means you can't see

Speaker 1: at SeatGeek dot com, the official ticketing provider of AT
Speaker 1: and T Stadium. All Right, Stephen Jones on the fan
Speaker 1: with this quote about Dak. The biggest thing of all
Speaker 1: is Dak feeling like he can throw the ball at
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Obviously, we won't put him out there
Speaker 1: if the weren't healed. That is up to what the
Speaker 1: x rays X ray looks like, which will be looking
Speaker 1: at this week. I could answered that question just by
Speaker 1: shaking his hand. We're gonna go with no. But it's
Speaker 1: just it's just common sense. Everybody's like, well, they don't
Speaker 1: have to rush him back. They couldn't rush him back.
Speaker 1: There's no rushing in this process. He's either ready to
Speaker 1: go or he's not ready to go. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I would. I would be even more conservative based on
Speaker 1: where we are right now. I say, let the russ
Speaker 1: go ahead and keep winning as long if you can
Speaker 1: make that thought, if you can let that thumb heal
Speaker 1: as much as possible, you know, I mean, let's be
Speaker 1: even more conservative, like they need to be with the
Speaker 1: with the concussion thing. Let's be even more conservative if
Speaker 1: we have that opportunity. And I think it will be
Speaker 1: better on seventeen games. Guys, you know, no need to
Speaker 1: rush anybody back. No one's got an ego here. We're
Speaker 1: just trying to keep winning ball games and just get
Speaker 1: it right. Yeah, I mean there's you can't throw the ball.
Speaker 1: I mean Bill brings in a prop on his pregame
Speaker 1: show to show you how to throw a football. I
Speaker 1: missed that. I didn't do it, babe, did that that
Speaker 1: the thumb is very important to hold the ball. Because
Speaker 1: he only got one figure down here and baby Stanford right, well,
Speaker 1: he would have been even smarter. He only spent one
Speaker 1: semester at Missouri. Okay, he went to Missouri too. One
Speaker 1: semester he got kicked out, No fun out. He left
Speaker 1: Stanford because he realized John John was there, so there
Speaker 1: was some connection with the Cowboys quarterback coach. And so
Speaker 1: he came to Missouri and he figured they're trying to
Speaker 1: run a veer offense and Phil Phil Phil Bradley's the
Speaker 1: quarterback up. I'm probably not a veer offense quarterback. So
Speaker 1: then he transferred. I think he went to a juco
Speaker 1: before he ended up in Indiana. It was Lake Corso. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then he played, well there a chance to play, yeah,
Speaker 1: so he the transfer portal was alive and well in
Speaker 1: the seventies, just like it is now. You just had
Speaker 1: to he was ahead of his time, ahead of his time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, so we're it's Cooper rush against the Rams, right, yes,
Speaker 1: at least and it would not shot Eagles or still
Speaker 1: the Cooper rushed against the Eagles, and I think it's
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game right in Philadelphia, and then you
Speaker 1: get Detroit after that, and then a bye week. You know,
Speaker 1: I would think, so you're going to get him all
Speaker 1: the way through the byway maybe maybe, which was the
Speaker 1: original estimate. Oh mentioned we were looking at Chicago, and
Speaker 1: that's I won't say that that's another bye week, but um,
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. As long as your defense is
Speaker 1: better than I can feel confident about what you say. Trust,
Speaker 1: it's all about the defense, a defense, all right. So
Speaker 1: then now explain why it was important even if let's
Speaker 1: I'm we're just throwing it out there, even if it's
Speaker 1: not until after the buy before Dak comes back, tell
Speaker 1: us why it was important not to put him on
Speaker 1: IR because as soon as he's able to aside from
Speaker 1: his aside from his availability, why was it important? Two things.
Speaker 1: Number One, he's out there, he can be out there
Speaker 1: at p and if he's on injured reserve, he cannot
Speaker 1: be out there and he cannot be in the quarterback meetings.
Speaker 1: So his two cents could he be on the sideline
Speaker 1: congratulating Cooper and believe if the NFL would have yeah,
Speaker 1: they would have frowned on that. Okay, not even that
Speaker 1: would be allowed exactly. Okay, So that's one reason. The
Speaker 1: other one is is they can test him on a
Speaker 1: team aspect if he's not on IR, like, he can
Speaker 1: go out there with the team and you know, start
Speaker 1: throwing the ball when it's ready and so you can
Speaker 1: get a cup. So the same thing with Michael Michael Gallup, right,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, they're gonna put him on ir well, No,
Speaker 1: because he was able to test it for almost three
Speaker 1: full weeks before he went out there and play. And
Speaker 1: as it turned out with Michael Gallup, he would have
Speaker 1: if he would stayed on pup at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the season, he would have missed the first four games,
Speaker 1: which means he would not have played yesterday, and that's
Speaker 1: the most important thing, even even without the field, and
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have had the ramp up time. So now
Speaker 1: if he missed the first four, he's probably missing the
Speaker 1: next two, right because he needs to rap his ramp
Speaker 1: up time. That does it right there. That's so they
Speaker 1: won that bet. He would have had to do his
Speaker 1: ramp up over on Dak's field in his backyard. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: They were gotten to know each other very well. No,
Speaker 1: because that couldn't throw them the ball after the first
Speaker 1: game and so then would have had to go over
Speaker 1: there to Dak's backyard. No, I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's what de Nucci would be doing it. I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think Coop had a backyard either
Speaker 1: to be able to throw the football. So all that
Speaker 1: stuff worked out. It did absolutely. Um Now the curse
Speaker 1: there's nobody wanted our players anyway, including Cooper Rush when
Speaker 1: he was good, well he was. We were trying to
Speaker 1: demote him well preseason he wasn't going anywhere. But when
Speaker 1: we talked about it, I said, well, they could have
Speaker 1: money whipped you. Huh, Yeah, I guess so. But that's
Speaker 1: the that's the amazing thing. The other amazing thing. Um.
Speaker 1: And I was talking to m Jason Garrett m about
Speaker 1: when he was in when he came to the Giants
Speaker 1: and and you know, he was the one that said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, this guy's pretty good a backup quarterback. Well,
Speaker 1: it was the COVID year, so there was no offseason work,
Speaker 1: there was no preseason games, and they brought in Clayton
Speaker 1: Thorson for a workout and evidently had a great workout
Speaker 1: and not seeing Rush play in a game and just
Speaker 1: kind of looking at him, they're like, well, and Cooper
Speaker 1: was at two point five million dollars, he was they
Speaker 1: attendered him the back before they they got Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: right that year. No, you're talking you're talking the Cowboys, right, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Giants and the Giants you know,
Speaker 1: I understand what the Cowboys did. They had Dalton and
Speaker 1: it was cheap, but for Cooper, So he goes there
Speaker 1: and they end up cutting him, putting him on the
Speaker 1: practice squad. And Jason said, I was He said, I
Speaker 1: was looking at those people, and I'm going, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? I know this quarterback and I know that quarterback,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna put him on the practice squad and
Speaker 1: then you're gonna cut him. And I'm thinking to myself
Speaker 1: to wonder that didn't work out for Jason. So well,
Speaker 1: you know, that's one thing where just having covered this
Speaker 1: organization for so long, those assistant coaches, the position coaches
Speaker 1: have a lot of say and who stays who how
Speaker 1: they feel about certain players on a team. So if
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks coach, say you're the Giants, and your quarterbacks coach,
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator really likes that quarterback, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think that you're letting him right, And and Jason pointed out,
Speaker 1: he goes, that's why they make a lot of mistakes
Speaker 1: in the NFL, judging quarterbacks or judging players, because they
Speaker 1: judge it on one workout instead of knowing the guy's
Speaker 1: history and kind of make up what can he do? Right?
Speaker 1: And so yeah, and Rush was he was talking about,
Speaker 1: so what did you do? Because he got cut the
Speaker 1: end of September and the Cowboys didn't sign him to
Speaker 1: the almost the beginning of November, or Dad got hurt.
Speaker 1: Dad got the fifth game of the year, right, So
Speaker 1: it was close after Dak's injury. And I think that
Speaker 1: was like November, Well that was October October tenth or so.
Speaker 1: It was because you had Garrity over here and you
Speaker 1: had the new chie r and so he was just
Speaker 1: sitting at home. He said he got to work out
Speaker 1: from the Texans and he was just trying to work
Speaker 1: out on his own and the call came and somebody
Speaker 1: asked him, well, weren't you a little bitter that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys let you go? He goes, you know what, it's
Speaker 1: a business. And the key thing is he just got
Speaker 1: to get in the building. And he goes in. That
Speaker 1: was a way from me to get in the building.
Speaker 1: And aren't they happy he was in the building? Now? Hey,
Speaker 1: last what well about the NFC East? Pretty good? Huh?
Speaker 1: Four h three and one, three and one and eight
Speaker 1: and two gets teams outside the division. Speaking of eight
Speaker 1: and two, since the last six games last year, Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy's eight and two, the guy everybody wanted to run
Speaker 1: off right away, push the hot seat right. One other thing,
Speaker 1: all right? Who is the only Cowboys quarterback to win
Speaker 1: their first four starts as a Cowboy? Well? Steve Burline
Speaker 1: and now Cooper Rush. But remember this now, But what's
Speaker 1: the reason I bring that up. It's getting reported out
Speaker 1: there that Cooper Rush is the first Cowboys quarterback to
Speaker 1: win his first four stars, right, Well, it's first four
Speaker 1: NFL starts, that's right, because Burline was a Raider before
Speaker 1: he was a Cowboy. How about this, But he did win.
Speaker 1: He won his first four Cowboys starts plus a playoff. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he actually won five in a row if you
Speaker 1: can include the playoff went over the bars. Also, if
Speaker 1: you consider him a backup quarterback who is playing because
Speaker 1: of injury, because I don't know if you want to
Speaker 1: call Dak a backup in twenty sixteen, he started the season, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to call Tony Romo
Speaker 1: a backup because Bledsoe got benched and he took over.
Speaker 1: But if it's a true backup quarterback, they have not
Speaker 1: had one win three consecutive games since Burline in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety one, A backup, backup because he had to play,
Speaker 1: not because I chose through. Right, that's thirty years, thirty
Speaker 1: years and he and that's what he's done. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's a you know, says something about who
Speaker 1: had been the backup quarterbacks or the quality of the
Speaker 1: backups when they had to come in, but it's been
Speaker 1: a long time since they've won it. It's what it says.
Speaker 1: It's the quality of the team around him too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And he'll be the first to tell you that's the
Speaker 1: best part about it, you know, when somebody said about
Speaker 1: and that's what you're looking for in a backup quarterback,
Speaker 1: to be a guy who can win games and keep
Speaker 1: the team going where not lose games. That's right, right,
Speaker 1: Just keep me in the game. He doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be the leader, right where he is a leader? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right? That does it for a victory Monday edition
Speaker 1: of Mix Shots, and we will shout at you again
Speaker 1: tomorrow at so Gawboy Dallas how Boys. This has been
Speaker 1: a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys Football Club.
