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 apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. It is a fabulous yeah finger on
Speaker 1: that fabulous Spike song Friday. There you go, Dallas how Boys.
Speaker 1: You know what we need? Six? And I think I
Speaker 1: won two six two six? We out jobs? This could be.
Speaker 1: Let's have a good don't as yes with the song? Boy,
Speaker 1: he just took all the sentimentality out of it. Does
Speaker 1: I waken up on Sunday morning watch the Cowboys and
Speaker 1: you'd sing it? I know, I knew it. I knew it.
Speaker 1: You knew that, you knew the tune. Of course you
Speaker 1: knew the words too, of course I did. Oh man,
Speaker 1: didn't you go Cowboys go? That's all you knew? Did
Speaker 1: you have a loudspeaker outside and just wake up the
Speaker 1: name song? It's Cowboy time? Take me? It was at
Speaker 1: in Hamilton Park. Hamilton Park, Okay, So what was a
Speaker 1: typical Cowboys Sunday like in Hamilton Park? Well, first you
Speaker 1: had to get him, go to church. Got a noon game? Yeah,
Speaker 1: noon game. You gotta go to church. Okay, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you hope to preach us fast. Hope. He's church was close. Yes,
Speaker 1: I could walk to it a six houses down. All right,
Speaker 1: so you get home by noon. No, you wouldn't. Okay
Speaker 1: on twelve thirty, mate, it's a Baptist preacher. Man duck out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I had. My mom was there. She was the announcement.
Speaker 1: My dad was a deacon. And everybody's neighborhood knows you.
Speaker 1: So if you sneak out, miss Jefferson, she would come,
Speaker 1: grab you by your ears, bring you back in. So
Speaker 1: come on, man, you have to stay. So you get
Speaker 1: home by the secretary probably around Yeah, okay, and what happened.
Speaker 1: I'm down, I'm sitting down. I'm not going anywhere. See,
Speaker 1: in our neighborhood and we get by the time halftime hit,
Speaker 1: we had the front yard where all the neighborhood kids
Speaker 1: would come. And by halftime of the Cowboy game on Sunday,
Speaker 1: we're playing football in the front yard. Well, we don't
Speaker 1: go to the the front yard. We walk up to the
Speaker 1: school and just we had a big field up there,
Speaker 1: big field there. You go yeah, all right, so in
Speaker 1: tackle football, right of course. Of course, sometimes we wouldn't
Speaker 1: even go to the to the field. We're just do
Speaker 1: it right there in the street. Tackle football in the street.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's real, that is real. I'm trying to remember. See,
Speaker 1: our church wasn't close, so we would want to sneak
Speaker 1: out after communion like that church is over now, we
Speaker 1: don't need the end part, right, And that didn't work
Speaker 1: so well because we you know, you never we weren't
Speaker 1: driving so and you're getting home to a Bears game anyway,
Speaker 1: So years I was getting home to a Packer, or
Speaker 1: if it wasn't the Bear, if the Bears game were on,
Speaker 1: then I got the Packers. I pick up a radio
Speaker 1: station in Milwaukee, okay, and have both going at the
Speaker 1: same time, and I think that's radio. My mother's figured
Speaker 1: something's wrong with this kid. Okay, did you have a
Speaker 1: Cowboy's antenna? We had a Cowboys antenna. My dad had
Speaker 1: a Cowboy antenna on top of our house and it
Speaker 1: was held up by guide wires that were hooked to
Speaker 1: the fence. We had a we had it wasn't really
Speaker 1: a tornado, but it was a twister that gave through
Speaker 1: one year and it blew our fences. Our Cowboy antenna
Speaker 1: was all over earth, and so we would have we
Speaker 1: would have people coming back like weeks later, Sad, I
Speaker 1: think this is party part cowboy an. So you didn't
Speaker 1: you didn't drive the tyler to be able to get
Speaker 1: far enough away and rent a hotel room. What a
Speaker 1: hotel room watching the game? No, No, where does that
Speaker 1: come from? Because you couldn't because the reason you had
Speaker 1: a cowboy antenda where the game was blacked out. The
Speaker 1: home game was blacked out, and so you had a
Speaker 1: cowboy antenda to pick up the Tyler station or a
Speaker 1: Sherman station or something. Maybe maybe that's why we went
Speaker 1: to play football something that's right. Yeah, maybe that's what
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch. Yeah, I've had many people tell me
Speaker 1: that when they grew up, the parents and they would
Speaker 1: drive the Tyler to watch the game. Well, and then
Speaker 1: sometimes the reception was snowy on that cowboy antenna, you know,
Speaker 1: and so I'd be listening on the radio and trying
Speaker 1: to watch it. And to this day the five nothing
Speaker 1: playoff win over the Detroit Okay, to this day, I
Speaker 1: remember Verne Lunkist call on that on radio, saying after
Speaker 1: mel Renfrow intercepted the past to seal the victory, to
Speaker 1: beat the Lions five nothing, burn Lunk was said, listen
Speaker 1: to this loud house crowd roar, and so was one
Speaker 1: of my memories ninety seventy I think what was it.
Speaker 1: I think it was the nineteen seventies, nineteen seventy Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so anyway, you know he can't and that was back
Speaker 1: in the I can you can't. I didn't know who
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were, you know, and Packers and Bears and Lions.
Speaker 1: Oh the Packers doing with the Cowboys were Okay, I've
Speaker 1: got to even try. I've got We're gonna jump into Cowboy.
Speaker 1: I got one more story to tell. Okay, you're talking
Speaker 1: about families going to Tyler and listening or watching a
Speaker 1: Cowboys game whatever, which is a great idea back then. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is embarrassing, but I'm gonna tell it anyway. My family,
Speaker 1: of course, they were all Ou fans. Okay, when Barry
Speaker 1: Switzer got the job as the head coach of the
Speaker 1: of Ou okay, nineteen seventy three. Of course, OU was
Speaker 1: on probation, and so the games weren't televised and they
Speaker 1: played USC late on a SAT on a Saturday night
Speaker 1: at the coliseum in La We as a family drove, no,
Speaker 1: you didn't, drove to Durant, Oklahoma and sat in the
Speaker 1: parking lot because at night game you can't pick up
Speaker 1: the radio station and the day think you'd think it'd be,
Speaker 1: it'd be the opposite. But whatever station carried it, the
Speaker 1: signal went down at nightfall whatever. So we drove to Durant,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and sat in the parking lot because as the
Speaker 1: closest town that could get a radio station, okay, signal whatever.
Speaker 1: We sat as a family in the parking lot of
Speaker 1: a Gibson's store listening to the o U USC game
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three seven seven time station wagon. It
Speaker 1: was yeah, yeah, how many how many people? Actually that was?
Speaker 1: That was after the station one. We actually had a
Speaker 1: Cadillac at one point. Now they can afford to go
Speaker 1: to Duran, Oklahoma, and it was an old Cadillac nine
Speaker 1: seventy three. It was a nineteen sixty six Cadillac. This
Speaker 1: brings it right back to the Cowboys. That was once
Speaker 1: owned by Clint Murkison. Wow, and he had taken all
Speaker 1: I guess he had cataracts or something. He had taken
Speaker 1: all the chrome off the Cadillac and so it was
Speaker 1: a very unique vehicle and off the cadile so that
Speaker 1: with the glare when the sun hit it would not
Speaker 1: blinding whatever. So anyway, well, we had a fancy Chevy
Speaker 1: bell Lair for like fifteen years, I think, until the
Speaker 1: thing just fell The same year spast we were come
Speaker 1: driving up Shore Road in Hamilton Park. Sometimes I didn't
Speaker 1: think we'd make it. It just makes it when it
Speaker 1: makes that sound going up the hill, that's bad. I
Speaker 1: was just telling somebody the story about when it snowed,
Speaker 1: my dad could walk to work and he didn't have
Speaker 1: to get there until nine o'clock. So when we had
Speaker 1: to actually walked to work in the snow, junior by
Speaker 1: both ways, everybody knew when everybody knew when it snowed
Speaker 1: that come over to our house, shovel the driveway, and
Speaker 1: you get a free ride tonight to school. Right, So
Speaker 1: we would pile in that car and the horn didn't work,
Speaker 1: so if somebody got in the way, you know those
Speaker 1: stupid those stupid horns you put on your bic Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad would stick it out, and I'd be so embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is laughing him. It's like, damn sound it seems.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's grown, you know, grown looking man. He's yeah,
Speaker 1: squeezing what kind of horn we had on ours? The
Speaker 1: horn played boomer sooner? Not really? All right? We got serious?
Speaker 1: All right? And are they gonna play any games this weekend?
Speaker 1: In the NFL last thing I read that there was
Speaker 1: some discussion going on about the Saturday games to see
Speaker 1: if they were going to postpone them to try to
Speaker 1: get these teams and enough guys to play. Um, you
Speaker 1: know when the Giants, you know, we were talking about
Speaker 1: how many guys they had we're gonna be missing, and
Speaker 1: then I didn't realize, Um, they had a couple more.
Speaker 1: I think yesterday JR. Reid after the show of course,
Speaker 1: Natrelle Natrelle Jamison. But they also had two guys quarantined
Speaker 1: in Arizona when they had gone out on the West
Speaker 1: coast to practice. They play whatever their last two games were.
Speaker 1: They played on the road at the Dolphins, and then
Speaker 1: they went straight they went in and practiced in Arizona
Speaker 1: before playing at the Charge, and those two guys got
Speaker 1: left behind in quarantine wesh offensive guard Martin. Yeah, West
Speaker 1: Martin and their quarterback coach shup Lynsky, they got left behind.
Speaker 1: Didn't let them back on the chiel and understand that,
Speaker 1: Hey Mack, Yes, Jay Glazier's reporting that the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders game has moved to Monday at four pm,
Speaker 1: five pm Eastern time. So there you go. There you
Speaker 1: go to Monday. We hope, we hope, Yeah, you hope.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there's another one they were going to move,
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's so, I see it this time. Just
Speaker 1: ten minutes ago, Jay Glazier tweeted, Raiders players were just
Speaker 1: told their game has been moved to Monday, four o'clock
Speaker 1: Central time. So now they can leave the airport? Can
Speaker 1: they were supposed to play that was a Saturday game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Raiders Brown were at the airport waiting to see if
Speaker 1: they should catch the flight. Is that what Chris was
Speaker 1: saying earlier? That's why they had to go ahead? And yeah,
Speaker 1: the decision is made. Now they can go home, all right.
Speaker 1: He Prior to that, Glazier reported on Twitter that he
Speaker 1: had said that Raiders players don't want to move to Monday. Well,
Speaker 1: they didn't win that. So they're they're moving to Monday,
Speaker 1: and Eagles and Seahawks don't want to push to Tuesday.
Speaker 1: But that's where it's headed. A whole lot of side
Speaker 1: pushes going back and forth, he said, so that you know,
Speaker 1: these postponements, they don't have a lot of days to
Speaker 1: work with, but they can push it back a few
Speaker 1: days and still manage to get the complete season in
Speaker 1: the Because so so they play Monday, if they get
Speaker 1: it in Monday, then they can come back and play
Speaker 1: on Sunday obviously. So it's like the locker rooms are
Speaker 1: like an incubator for this thing. It seems like it
Speaker 1: seems like the entire facility. Yeah, yeah, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to I mean, we started postponing
Speaker 1: too much, Oh my goodness. I mean, just think about
Speaker 1: the people that made these plans. They've been having these
Speaker 1: plans for months and months and now one day off.
Speaker 1: You know, I was getting ready Since then, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's gonna get even tighter on the charter. How many
Speaker 1: people are allowed. And I was thinking, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: that Philadelphia game could mean something, right, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: book a flight and go. I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: You never know when they're gonna play the game, right,
Speaker 1: they said. The Seahawks and against the Rams were also
Speaker 1: being considered. By the way kayum is today. Remember that
Speaker 1: old movie sci fi movie The Day the Earth Stood Still? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was That was when the Pelicans played right.
Speaker 1: So when the NBA shut everything down, that's when everybody
Speaker 1: knew that it was real. That was the last time
Speaker 1: we had something like that. So the Washington Washington as
Speaker 1: of last night had twenty one players in COVID protocol
Speaker 1: and and they added, uh, both quarterbacks are now in
Speaker 1: and so they signed Garrett Gilbert off the Patriots practice squad.
Speaker 1: And they also well, as Mike McCarthy we taped the
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy Show this morning, and as Mike mentioned, um,
Speaker 1: the one thing about well, obviously he has a lot
Speaker 1: of respect for Garrett Gilbert, he saying Garrett is one
Speaker 1: quarterback who could handle it. The other part of it
Speaker 1: is he was with them in Carolina and so he
Speaker 1: has a little familiar with it with the offense. They
Speaker 1: also signed h Kyle Schermer to the practice squad. Oh no,
Speaker 1: they signed they can sign. He was from the practice
Speaker 1: He was already he would be more likely he would
Speaker 1: be the one to start against philadelph And they signed
Speaker 1: Jordan Tamu to the practice Okay, another quarterback, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: so they it's like two more quarterbacks coming. So they've
Speaker 1: got three there now they've got Shermer Gilbert and Tom Who. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: with both quarterbacks out now heinekey And but when you
Speaker 1: got twenty one, Cleveland had to do the same thing.
Speaker 1: They signed Kyle Letta off of Jacksonville's practice squad d
Speaker 1: and Clinton. They also signed Nick Mullins. I think Nick
Speaker 1: Mullins was already there. Oh, okay, so he's gonna be
Speaker 1: the starter. Yeah, they signed him to the fifty three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is crazy, unbelievable. Um, well, there's good news for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. As of right now, it looks like there
Speaker 1: are no people after the show. I'm sure after the
Speaker 1: show Cedric will Silson was cleared, so he's off reserve COVID. Wow,
Speaker 1: they didn't have anybody else totally. In the other direction,
Speaker 1: it's amazing you can play the game and not catch it.
Speaker 1: If you can play against the team that has like
Speaker 1: twenty something playing well and positive and don't catch and
Speaker 1: that's what they've said all along in this doctors have
Speaker 1: said going into last football season. I remember there was
Speaker 1: a huge debate going into the college football season last year,
Speaker 1: and you know, it was safe to be playing, and um,
Speaker 1: the doctors, most doctors that I had listened to back then,
Speaker 1: they said, you're fine on the football field. The problem
Speaker 1: like for colleges is or their dorms or you know,
Speaker 1: if they're places were yeah. Yeah. So so that was
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that was yeah, or you're just and
Speaker 1: you're in confined area. Well, even talking to one you
Speaker 1: think about it. From this standpoint, the CDC, as far
Speaker 1: as schools are concerned, the CDC regulations on it throughout
Speaker 1: last school year were you were considered a close contact
Speaker 1: if someone had a positive test, if you were in
Speaker 1: a classroom within six feet of a fellow student for
Speaker 1: at least fifteen minutes. And so it's not like passing
Speaker 1: in the hallway. It's more when you are in a meeting.
Speaker 1: And that's what the NFL is staying with right now,
Speaker 1: where it's over a sustained period of time that you
Speaker 1: were around someone. And that's why I think the last
Speaker 1: year of the yoke, the yoke, the joke was and
Speaker 1: I think I wrote this maybe one time that the
Speaker 1: Cowboy defenders had in no jeopardy of catching this because
Speaker 1: they were never never six feet to anybody with the football.
Speaker 1: Not this year said we are different. So I got
Speaker 1: a question for you, Mack so and Bill. Actually, so
Speaker 1: they're thinking about moving the Washington football team and fill
Speaker 1: it to Tuesday. The next Washington's next opponent is US, right,
Speaker 1: would they would they consider moving that game to a Monday. No, No,
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play on a short week, because
Speaker 1: that's what they're all the road, you know, so that
Speaker 1: the good I know it's a short I know it's
Speaker 1: Baltimore did yeah, Baltimore, just like last year with with
Speaker 1: Baltimore where they shifted them around and as soon as
Speaker 1: they can they have well I guess the norms Tuesday
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. Yeah, that's right. And uh and then we
Speaker 1: turned around and played on Sunday, right, yeah, And so
Speaker 1: I mean I think that they would go off the
Speaker 1: same schedule as what you see on a Sunday Thursday game.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been proven that teams can play with
Speaker 1: three days in between, and that's probably the lead. I'm
Speaker 1: obviously clearly, that would be the least amount of time
Speaker 1: that you and if I remember correctly, last year when
Speaker 1: they moved that game to Tuesday, Cowboys had to play
Speaker 1: Sunday and Baltimore had to buy. So the Cowboys got
Speaker 1: punished for what Baltimore did. Well, the whole league is
Speaker 1: getting punished. Really. Yeah, that's and that's the way they're
Speaker 1: going to look at it, no matter what individual team
Speaker 1: has to go through. What that's what the game's Cowboys
Speaker 1: won last year the game, Yeah, they did another quarterback.
Speaker 1: The most significant thing though that came out of the
Speaker 1: memo that was sent to the league teams yesterday is
Speaker 1: the return to play protocols, which give a vaccinated player
Speaker 1: the ability to come back, and that's probably why Cedric
Speaker 1: Wilson is able to come back as soon as he
Speaker 1: has from it. A vaccinated player can test positive asymptomatic
Speaker 1: test positive on one day and as long as he
Speaker 1: tests negative the next day, he can return to work. Right. So,
Speaker 1: as opposed to the previous protocols was that you had
Speaker 1: to have two negative tests over twenty four hour time period.
Speaker 1: So the Giants role call for COVID reserve Darius Tony,
Speaker 1: Aaron Robinson, Dori Jackson, Cam Brown, John ross O'shan zoom
Speaker 1: innes H Jr. Nutrelle Jamison, and West Martin along with
Speaker 1: the assistant coach and so Xavier McKinney is not listed
Speaker 1: on that he was he was out of practice because
Speaker 1: he was a close contact unvaccinated. Okay, close contact unvaccinated,
Speaker 1: so is he So he's in jeopardy of not getting
Speaker 1: back in time. And they have breaking news from Jason
Speaker 1: lockinfora that Chris Beam has just passed along to me.
Speaker 1: The Eagles and Washington football team moved to seven pm
Speaker 1: on Tuesday six. That would be six o'clock Dallas time
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, or at least we're getting out of this
Speaker 1: information while we're on the end. Yeah, which where are
Speaker 1: they at? The game's at at Phillip Philly. Okay, so
Speaker 1: Washington's got to travel, go home and then travel. But
Speaker 1: they can take the train to Philadelphia. Yeah, there you go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: training for all and there's only there's how many players
Speaker 1: on a roster, well you got it. He's had fifty
Speaker 1: three minus twenty one. They only have thirty two players
Speaker 1: traveling anyway, So I'm joking. So they can get they
Speaker 1: could get on the owner. You know what you get
Speaker 1: call ups for COVID. Yeah, that's right, the whole practice squads.
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna make some money. And you uh, difference between
Speaker 1: making like six twenty how many can you sign off
Speaker 1: of their team's practice squads? Now, but the rules on
Speaker 1: the practice squad, if you sign someone off another team's
Speaker 1: practice squad, you got to keep them for three weeks, right,
Speaker 1: so you would have a yeah inability to yeah acquire players.
Speaker 1: That way, you can bring your own up, not not
Speaker 1: somebody else's. And that's why they expanded the practice squad
Speaker 1: to begin with when COVID hit last year. Right, they
Speaker 1: have sixteen on the practice squad. All right, we're just
Speaker 1: getting started on a COVID nineteen edition of Mixed Shots,
Speaker 1: and we shall return with the news of the day
Speaker 1: that's not COVID related when we come back. Hey, Cowboys fans,

Speaker 1: A fanatics experience. All right, is there other news that
Speaker 1: you have for us, Mickey, Well, since we need to
Speaker 1: know what the Cowboys procedure was. Today they had their
Speaker 1: team meeting virtually. Mike McCarthy said that the team would
Speaker 1: show up at eleven o'clock, they would go through what
Speaker 1: they normally do on Friday, their mock games, so it's
Speaker 1: a walkthrough, and then the players would return home and
Speaker 1: they would finish the meetings virtually. Once again, asked for
Speaker 1: an injury update, and I think we talked a little
Speaker 1: bit about it yesterday. They listed after the show was over,
Speaker 1: but I told you he was going to do something.
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard was limited. Mike McCarthy said that he was
Speaker 1: able to take all the assigned reps that he had
Speaker 1: coming up and seemed to get through it, but he
Speaker 1: wouldn't know for sure until he saw him at eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock and we were talking to him at ten thirty.
Speaker 1: Who else, DeMarcus Lawrence limited. They said he tweaked his
Speaker 1: foot in practice, so he didn't finish the whole thing,
Speaker 1: but it was more precautionary. Obviously, Tyrann Smith is out
Speaker 1: for the game. We knew that and fully practicing. Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph had an illness not COVID related. You can
Speaker 1: still get sick with something else in this country. So
Speaker 1: he didn't practice, but they expected him back. Sean McEwan,
Speaker 1: the tight end missed last week with the neck injury,
Speaker 1: is back and I think from an injury stamp point
Speaker 1: that probably does it. So Joseph has a new CD out.
Speaker 1: That guy's always got something, doesn't he. I told you
Speaker 1: when he came out, look forward to him more he hits.
Speaker 1: So and evidently they've got to stay in this virtual
Speaker 1: mode mood mood too, right through the weekend and then
Speaker 1: Monday they'll see what's coming up next. So and when
Speaker 1: they go on the road, they're in full COVID protocol.
Speaker 1: At the hotel, no visitors, no going out to dinner,
Speaker 1: got to stay in the hotel. So and it includes
Speaker 1: the travel party. Also everybody else in the tier one,
Speaker 1: tier two on the charter flight got to stay at
Speaker 1: the hotel. The other thing, as it relates to the
Speaker 1: new protocols that the NFL has notified teams about, is
Speaker 1: they also have a more precise way of tracking the
Speaker 1: viral load in players. That is enabling them to get
Speaker 1: players back quicker quicker according to their medical advice. And
Speaker 1: it's too complicated for me to say exactly to stand
Speaker 1: or relay, but there's a certain level thirty five or
Speaker 1: higher that you have to reach on the test where
Speaker 1: it's deemed that you aren't contagious anymore. And so uh,
Speaker 1: and this is something that the league. The league is
Speaker 1: quick to say that they are not relaxing their rules.
Speaker 1: They are just able to be more precise in their
Speaker 1: gauge of where the where the players are who test positive.
Speaker 1: That's what you call a pivot, which is what they play.
Speaker 1: And that's why they made the when they made the rules, uh,
Speaker 1: to begin with, they said that we reserve the right
Speaker 1: to pivot. So that's what they've done. And then the
Speaker 1: other his other concern going up to the Metal Lands
Speaker 1: was the wind. They're supposed to supposed to be a
Speaker 1: pretty windy day, twenty miles an hour, gusting more than that,
Speaker 1: basically be outside. He was talking, he was talking about that.
Speaker 1: His number one he thinks the number one whether event
Speaker 1: that affects the game is the wind. He said. You
Speaker 1: can deal with the rain, you can kind of deal
Speaker 1: with snow, but when you get the wind, especially at
Speaker 1: Giants stadium, as Everson knows when they used to open
Speaker 1: up that door. That yeah, absolutely, uh And you know what, uh,
Speaker 1: Simins I mentioned the meadowlands and the giants. Uh. I
Speaker 1: was working on my column for today on Michael parsons
Speaker 1: Um comparing his rookie year to Lawrence Taylor's rookie year.
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't realize that Lawrence Taylor's rookie year
Speaker 1: was Everson Walls rookie. Yes, I I didn't realize that
Speaker 1: was his Before you continue, nineteen eighty one was considered
Speaker 1: the best defensive class in the history of the draft.
Speaker 1: Kenny Easily, he was one of the best players wasn't drafted.
Speaker 1: That's right, Michael Down's and yo. So I wrote this
Speaker 1: down somewhere, and I don't think I have it with
Speaker 1: me because it was something else I was working on.
Speaker 1: But so, Lawrence Taylor was set, I think, uh to
Speaker 1: George wad Rogers, the running back South Carolina, Kenny Easley
Speaker 1: was like fourth, I think so for the Heisman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hugh Green was in that draft, and there was another
Speaker 1: defensive player, Ronnie Lott was eighth. Yeah. Uh So Mike
Speaker 1: Singletary lasted till the second round. Because he wasn't big enough,
Speaker 1: and Howie Long was in the third round, so he yeah,
Speaker 1: and he gets the MVP right in nineteen eighty one
Speaker 1: Defensive MVP, Defensive MVP, Rookie of the Year, um and
Speaker 1: and then and I didn't realize this. Also in eighty six,
Speaker 1: when he was the NFL's Most Valuable Player, he was
Speaker 1: only the second and still is only the second defensive
Speaker 1: player to win that award, the first nineteen seventy one
Speaker 1: Alan page Alm. How about that. Wow, it's good stuff.
Speaker 1: Good stuff there comes up that stuff. So did you
Speaker 1: when you gave your report about the Giants, did you
Speaker 1: have their injury report from today? I do? Okay, so no, no,
Speaker 1: not today. I got today yesterday because they did update
Speaker 1: it and I ran out of time. Okay, I've got
Speaker 1: today's and out. Are we already knew? A Dory Jackson
Speaker 1: was out by Aaron Robinson. Another cornerback is has been
Speaker 1: ruled out. He's on COVID. Also um Stehton Parker, Reggie Raglan.
Speaker 1: They were two defensive players that didn't practice yesterday. The
Speaker 1: here's what they've got listed, Okay, questionable. Our defensive lineman
Speaker 1: Austin Johnson with a foot and he's he plays regularly
Speaker 1: wide receiver Sterling Shepherd calf And this is significant defensive
Speaker 1: lineman Leonard Williams, who has a triceps injury. They had
Speaker 1: feared he got hurt last week, right, they had feared
Speaker 1: that he might be lost for the season. He's listed
Speaker 1: as questionable for the game Sunday, So there's sagging. Well,
Speaker 1: he's a guy, he's a guy that doesn't a long time.
Speaker 1: So those are that's the latest as far as significant players.
Speaker 1: I saw a quote in the Bergen Record one of
Speaker 1: their defensive coaches. I don't know, I don't think it
Speaker 1: was the court. It might have been the defensive back,
Speaker 1: the secondary coach. They said, well, who's going to be playing,
Speaker 1: you know, in the secondary and he goes, it will
Speaker 1: be somebody with a blue helmet on. That was his answer. Thanks, So,
Speaker 1: And you know, Mike was asked that question, is it
Speaker 1: hard to prepare for a team when you don't know
Speaker 1: exactly the personnel you're you're playing against? And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: he says, we're We've got guys looking for information, the updates,
Speaker 1: kind of kind of counting on you guys to figure
Speaker 1: that out for us. You can't be anything significant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right right, I mean I'm not saying it there that Sally,
Speaker 1: but i mean, well they get your injury report today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you just go out there and play. You
Speaker 1: can't be worried about all of this. What kind of
Speaker 1: you worry about yourself? You worry about yourself if you're
Speaker 1: going to study anybody, you study the other coach, and
Speaker 1: he was talking about December football and how it was
Speaker 1: important to technique and execution. That's what that's what we've
Speaker 1: been saying. Because everybody gets to this point in the
Speaker 1: season and you're backing off on practice, especially this year,
Speaker 1: right the last two years, and with all the rules,
Speaker 1: um so, yeah, the execution becomes vitally important to get
Speaker 1: themselves out of this little bit of a downturn in
Speaker 1: the offense. And then just don't make mistakes in the
Speaker 1: red zone. And that's where you start right there. Don't
Speaker 1: make mistakes period right now trying If you start going
Speaker 1: with turnovers, you just can't give them any type of spark.
Speaker 1: And and basically, in this day and age, a sack
Speaker 1: it ends up centered seven or ten yards, right, or
Speaker 1: a drop pass it's like a turnover because you're you're
Speaker 1: killing that possession. Yeah, because it's so hard to come back,
Speaker 1: you know, you get into third and fifteen and they
Speaker 1: don't have that play on that call sheet. Well, we're
Speaker 1: blessed that we have a defense, right if it can
Speaker 1: remain consistent. Now we have everyone back, and I hope
Speaker 1: that's I hope by having everyone back in the timing
Speaker 1: of it all with the Washington performance that we had,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that is a sign that this is this
Speaker 1: is going to be out MO for the rest of
Speaker 1: the year, and we're going to be consistent with that.
Speaker 1: Because we have all our players back, you don't have
Speaker 1: to fill in for anyone and those that do come back,
Speaker 1: this is gonna make us stronger. Did you see the
Speaker 1: Chiefs Chargers game last night? I was just gonna bring
Speaker 1: that's going to do. Yeah. I love the interview Travis
Speaker 1: Kelsey did with Michael Irvin after the game. I missed that.
Speaker 1: And Uh, he was talking about fans or media or
Speaker 1: whoever dissing one five Patrick Mahomess saying that he was
Speaker 1: in a slump and uh. And he's basically said, and
Speaker 1: I think he's out of this slump when quote unquote
Speaker 1: slump or whatever, and Uh, but it's you know, Kansas
Speaker 1: City went through a lull in NUR season Offensive League
Speaker 1: and they're back getting on a roll again. They had
Speaker 1: some lulls in that game. You know what, if you see,
Speaker 1: if you look at that game, you had some moments
Speaker 1: there that you had to scratch your head with with
Speaker 1: with Mahomes himself, what kind of throw was that? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Not just one throw? I saw
Speaker 1: about four throws that I go, Okay, that looks very
Speaker 1: dak like. You know what I'm saying, Not that this
Speaker 1: he's typical of being inconsistent, but where it comes out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. You know, you know he's better than that.
Speaker 1: And Mahomes did that about four times. How about the one?
Speaker 1: How about the one that he tried to throw it
Speaker 1: so quick? It wasn't one, It wasn't on hand and
Speaker 1: his feet his feet? Was that it was a fourth down?
Speaker 1: Was it a pass? Yes? It was a pass? Or
Speaker 1: a fumble? No? No, no it was Did he lose
Speaker 1: control of Troy made a big deal about him not
Speaker 1: having the hands off the races on the basis that
Speaker 1: was on the end of the football. Had it, No, No,
Speaker 1: he had it. He had style. Next time was it completed? No,
Speaker 1: it went five yards and was it recovered forward? No
Speaker 1: one hit him? No one hit him. You can you
Speaker 1: can fumble without being hit. That was no fumber. He
Speaker 1: had the ball in his hand. No, he just grabbed
Speaker 1: it ugly. That's a grip. He didn't have the proper grip.
Speaker 1: That's right right, there wasn't no he no grip. He
Speaker 1: didn't have to work out the break right down right,
Speaker 1: Look at you? Get us out of here, all right
Speaker 1: back with our picks? Do don't the bill for that?

Speaker 1: Was at the Washington Philadelphia Okay, Washington, Philadelphia's four o'clock Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Seahawks Rams at six o'clock Tuesday, six o'clock Central or
Speaker 1: their Central time. Yeah, I've been one something to do
Speaker 1: on the Tuesday too. Yeah, this is great. Plus there's
Speaker 1: no one. Plus the voice is over so can't even
Speaker 1: watch that. Yeah, I'm loving this because if there's bowl
Speaker 1: games going on, those are really bad bowl games. They
Speaker 1: really played this time of the year. So yeah, hey, wait,
Speaker 1: what's that who they playing? Army? Oh? How's your run defense?
Speaker 1: It's that option? Terrible they'll get You can have a
Speaker 1: good run defense and still not with the heck you're
Speaker 1: doing against an option? Uh, you don't have them in
Speaker 1: the right place. Yes, it is Brad Shamonai. Yes, what
Speaker 1: you're doing the game? No, we're going what what about
Speaker 1: mix shots? What's that? What's what about MiG what? Oh
Speaker 1: it's a night game. Okay, all right, nick shots will
Speaker 1: get done on Tuesday. All right, Uh, kind of time
Speaker 1: for our picks, I think, Yeah, we got five minutes
Speaker 1: left here. Time flies. We were talking about Cowboy in
Speaker 1: tens and stuff. Um, all right, so Everson, you're on
Speaker 1: the clock. All right, I'm on the clock. Pick the click.
Speaker 1: Of course, I have Cowboys winning. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: win big. Uh. God. Every time I say this, we
Speaker 1: have a problem. But I'm gonna trust them this time,
Speaker 1: especially with our defense. I'm not depending on my offense.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at thirty one to ten. Oh that's close. Close, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got that I'm with is bad and considering the
Speaker 1: defense is gonna be bawling. And this guy, he's been
Speaker 1: just very consistent all year long, along with pauses, jay
Speaker 1: ViOn Curse. I'm looking at him to have ten plus
Speaker 1: tackles this game and that's not out the ordinary for him.
Speaker 1: But Nicol but one forced fumble, no interception with a
Speaker 1: forced fumble, all right. So I had already written down
Speaker 1: somewhere just to prove it to you guys, but I
Speaker 1: don't know where I did it, thirty four or here
Speaker 1: it is. I changed my mind because I had thirty
Speaker 1: four seventeen, and after I did my fan update, I
Speaker 1: decided thirty four ten boys, And I was torn between
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb because I don't think they're going to have
Speaker 1: enough defensive backs to cover the slot. They never have.
Speaker 1: And then I was thinking, but wouldn't this be cool?
Speaker 1: With all this talk about lt and Parsons, that Parsons
Speaker 1: goes up there and balls out with the name of
Speaker 1: Lawrence looking down on him. So I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Parsons, who said, do you think you might
Speaker 1: be able to maybe meet Taylor at the game? He said,
Speaker 1: I'd take a picture, all right, So I'm going with
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. Okay, Mike Glennon starting at quarterback for the
Speaker 1: Giants in this game. His career record as a starter
Speaker 1: is six wins and twenty three loss and still in
Speaker 1: the league. So you're still going with the Giants. Ever, Sin,
Speaker 1: what teams did you play for in the National Football League? Uh?
Speaker 1: In this order? Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: All right, the Cowboys are playing the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: And how many interceptions does Trayvon Diggs have currently? He
Speaker 1: has nine picks, one behind Melvin Floe and then two
Speaker 1: behind who Everson Walls? In this game on Sunday, Trayvon
Speaker 1: Diggs gets two picks. But my name is not in
Speaker 1: the rafts anywhere to equal Everson Walls. The former Cowboy
Speaker 1: and former Giants eleven picks in a season. They will
Speaker 1: all remember me at one moment, I like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So how about how I was able to weave this
Speaker 1: into my column that'll go up here in a couple
Speaker 1: of hours, pointing out that what Micah Parsons is doing
Speaker 1: has brought up what Lawrence Taylor did and we were
Speaker 1: reminded of how good he was. And I said, sort
Speaker 1: of like what Trayvon Diggs is bringing up Everson Walls
Speaker 1: Day for the Hall of Fame voters. Well, when you
Speaker 1: think about it, it's it's the span of years, right,
Speaker 1: something is people last that long? Must have been pretty
Speaker 1: damn good, you know if I him for Lawrence Taylor
Speaker 1: to do something like he did back then and we
Speaker 1: really forgot about it. Yeah, we knew he was great,
Speaker 1: but to get Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Year. So his rookie year was forty years ago, right,
Speaker 1: Both guys their birthdays, Lawrence Taylor's forty years older than
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. Laws Saylor's May twenty six, not the same
Speaker 1: day that same year. Okay, forty years are you going
Speaker 1: to go off? Right? Yeah? How do I know that
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons birthdays May twenty But I can tell you
Speaker 1: that Lawrence Taylor's birthdays April twenty eighth. How about that?
Speaker 1: How do you know that? I looked it up? You
Speaker 1: know how I know Michael Parsons is May twenty six.
Speaker 1: That's yours, that's mine? Nice? Nice, Hey, you gotta get
Speaker 1: me a school. I know I do. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: he didn't care juthing. But it took so long to
Speaker 1: get to a word. Smith. So what was your number?
Speaker 1: Thirty one to know? What was your number? Okay for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Nose twenty four, twenty eight? What was
Speaker 1: he eight with the Giants and Browns? Twenty eight with
Speaker 1: the Giants and Browns. Okay, So final score? I was
Speaker 1: gonna say twenty four to seven, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: twenty eight to seven. The Cowboys win eight because Trayvon's
Speaker 1: number seven and ever that's cool, that's very No. No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change it. What's twenty four plus twenty eight?
Speaker 1: That's what I thought he was? Two? Fifty two seven?
Speaker 1: Fifty two to seven is the final? Connor Williams, Trayvon
Speaker 1: did there? You go fifty two to fifty two to
Speaker 1: seven and Connor Williams will start at fullback or left guard.
Speaker 1: I put my money on left guard, and I put
Speaker 1: my money on what you've seen in Connor McGovern starting
Speaker 1: at fullback, starting at fullback, so the first play. No
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, Yeah you did. Oh yeah you did.
Speaker 1: I meant he'll start first, start first time he comes
Speaker 1: into the Yeah, starting off at fullback. Yes, okay, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: got all the information documented right here, guys, So jumbo
Speaker 1: package there you go. Might need some more blockers out there, right,
Speaker 1: let's go get them. Yeah, but more blockers that can block. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't need just more blockers. They need to know
Speaker 1: how to block. No more big guys, right, and then
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele needs the step up and you are going
Speaker 1: the game. I am not. You're not going. You don't
Speaker 1: get the free medium pepsi that the Giant fans. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: all fans get a free medium medium medium. So clear
Speaker 1: about medium unless large is really who goes medium. Well
Speaker 1: that's why they got all those medium cups because nobody
Speaker 1: gets me get that. You're back in the day, they
Speaker 1: would have just given you a free can. Right now.
Speaker 1: We can't trust people with a can in their hands,
Speaker 1: especially all right, So that would and will the Cowboys
Speaker 1: benches be there, Mike. Mike from Reserve the Right, Washington. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think the giants pulled tricks like that. That
Speaker 1: only happens in Washington. They do, but they superstition. Maybe
Speaker 1: they couldn't. They hadn't know what it No, you know,
Speaker 1: last week the Cowboys the week before Seattle, the benches
Speaker 1: didn't warm. It didn't work, and so they warned the
Speaker 1: cowboys that, you know, you might think about this. So
Speaker 1: they found that cold they sound and found some company
Speaker 1: in Ohio and they put the logos all over the bench.
Speaker 1: McCarthy didn't know about it, right, And somebody somebody said here, look,
Speaker 1: Eddie goes, Oh, how did I miss that? He's concentrated, right,
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, But they were warm, and so
Speaker 1: somebody said, well, maybe Washington bring their benches here. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: bring them, it's not that cold. It's like seventy two degrees.
Speaker 1: And in the forties I think on some okay, the
Speaker 1: forties where no, no, I'm talking in New York, New York.
Speaker 1: But Washington, come in here. It's going now. That's what
Speaker 1: they said in Washington, bring their their benches here. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead, they won't work. They're too cheap to do it.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't even turn the hot water on for the
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the seventies in the locker room. Well, hopefully
Speaker 1: the game will be played at noon on Sunday, And
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs was your pick to click? Because yeah, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: two picks, two picks to pass time. Everson the former
Speaker 1: Cowboy and Giant and beat every other cornerback who has
Speaker 1: ever played since nineteen eighty one? How about that? That
Speaker 1: is amazing? And did the quarterbacks get better? Has his play?
Speaker 1: That's right? There you go. That's the King said, all right.
Speaker 1: And if he breaks it, Hamilton Parkle, come, that's right,
Speaker 1: that's right. Okay, it doesn't. For this edition of Mike Shots,
Speaker 1: we will shout at you again on Monday at one thirty,
Speaker 1: Go Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
