WEBVTT - Mick Shots_12_17.mp3 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:04.760 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:06.360 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:09.560 Cowboys. 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:16.599 This is Mick Shot streaming live on dallascowboys dot Com 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.960 and the official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:28.360 Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola. 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.919 And it's ten am on a Tuesday. So what does 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:36.760 that mean? That means we're starting two hours early today 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:42.720 inside the SWBC podcast studio as Tampa Bay Week has 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:47.080 begun for us here on mix shots, Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.839 and Mickey Spagnola. We are just very proud of the 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.159 fact that we all remembered that we are two hours 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:53.840 early today. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.840 We had to turn our right, that's right, Yes, get 0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:59.760 us out of our routine, yep. 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.680 And so there's luck to get too. After a full 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:08.440 weekend of NFL games, including two Monday night games last 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.480 night that looked like better matchups probably if they'd been 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.720 in September than December. But here we are. We move 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.399 on to week number sixteen and the Cowboys still have 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:21.480 playoff hopes. 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.240 They had us, they actually had us, they put in 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:25.720 the hunt. 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.440 Hunt. Still we're back in the hunt after one win, and. 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.560 The Saints are under us. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.000 We're second to last and the Saints last, moving on up, 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:35.840 moving on up. 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.000 But I tell you. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:41.919 The Saints still have a chance. 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.640 I think they're like five and seven something. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:50.480 Just because of their division. Maybe if if Tampa Bay. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:55.120 Loses out, they're five and nine, so they're three games 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:56.640 back with three to go there. 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.520 So that's why they're still technically. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:03.200 In it, and they probably to play like the Cowboys 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:04.240 sound to. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.800 But we figured out the path, and what helped on 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.280 the path was Atlanta winning last night. You want to 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.840 root for Atlanta. You wanted Atlanta to keep on keeping 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.520 on because you wanted Atlanta to be up there at 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.080 least tied with Tampa Bay. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.760 You want them to get You want them to win 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.560 the win is division, right, Otherwise they've got to lose. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.640 Because you lost to Atlanta. You don't want to be 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.840 involved in any sort of tiebreaker that. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.760 Included you basically have to lose. 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.120 They need to get ahead of or at least even 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.600 with Tampa Bay because they beat Tampa Bay twice, so 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.840 they have the tiebreaker on them for the division, right, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:49.160 and as it plays out here, the Atlanta success helps you. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.880 Now obviously the Cowboys have to win out, but and 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.840 a win over Tampa Bay helps Atlanta's cause too. But Washington, 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.959 they play Philadelphia this week and then they play Atlanta, 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.360 and so if Atlanta will keep winning games, that helps 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.480 the Cowboys. And you just want to get to that 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.200 last week where you have a chance to catch Washington. 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.919 And that's without regard to what happens in the West. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.160 You need help out there too. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.680 Well the way, uh, I wouldn't a step further on 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:25.280 all that stuff. So, yes, you don't want to end 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.600 up in a tie with Atlanta. If you end up 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.400 win a tie with Washington, which means they got to 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.560 lose out and you got to win out and you'll 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.200 have the time, you'll have the tie breaker if they 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:45.040 also need Seattle to lose two games if they're a 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:50.640 wild card team, right, so if the Rams win the West, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:51.520 then so. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.720 You want the Rams to go ahead and go ahea business, 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.720 take care business went on out Rams. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.680 If the Cowboys end up in a tie at nine 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:07.080 and eight with Seattle and Arizona, they win the tiebreaker 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.040 on a on the basis of a better NFC record. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.720 In Washington would be included. 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.599 In that right and Washington you would win head to 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:17.640 head right. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.600 But the but if there's a four way tie. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.400 Oh, you mean a four way tie for that last. 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:27.719 Spot, right, because that was you're gonna the best you 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.080 can do is tie Washington. But so you got to 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.359 look at it first. You have to look at a way. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.880 And you would beat Washington on NFC record, but. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.599 You don't get to that until you get it in 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.279 a head to head tiebreaker with them. So here first 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.200 you got it, but first you got to win the 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.159 multi team tiebreaker. And so to your point, they have 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.239 a better conference. Cowboys would have a better conference record 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.360 than any combination of Dallas, Washington and the West teams. 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.600 Correct, because the best that helps clarify things because if 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.880 Seattle and Arizona don't get to ten wins, then they're 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.960 going to end up five and seven and four and 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.120 eight in the NFC, and the Cowboys could end up 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:17.400 seven and five. So that's the tiebreaker that would go forward. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.960 But you would need none of those teams to get 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.360 to ten wins because the Cowboys can't get ten right, right. 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.440 And so in order to do that for Seattle, which 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.560 is eight and six right now, they need to lose 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.480 two of their last three games and their final three 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.000 opponents are Minnesota, which they will not be favored in, 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.599 at Chicago, which they would be favored, and at the Rams, 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.880 which they probably would not be favored. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.160 Before they can beat Chicago's okay. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.400 They're fine beating Chicago. They just need to lose to 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:52.039 Minnesota and Rams. And as far as Arizona, which is 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:56.080 at seven and seven right now, they're at Carolina, would 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.760 say that's a win. That's eight and seven. Then they 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.760 are at the Rams, make that a loss. They're eight 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.400 and eight, and then they finish against San Francisco and 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.000 it doesn't matter then, right, So they just need to 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.160 lose one of their last three. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.679 Right, and you have to make sure that nobody gets 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.080 to ten wins, because the Cowboys sure not get the ten. 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:24.640 Right, So it's actually doable, it is, it really is doable. 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.840 As Mike and the problem. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:31.040 The biggest issue in this whole scenario, I think the 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.480 biggest issue is Dallas winning three games. 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.800 Yeah, and you got to beat Tampa Bay and they 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.279 have not done well against teams with winning records. And 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.200 then you've got to go on the road and beat 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.640 Philadehiladelphia which has a which. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.680 By the way, now has even though the division is 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.039 likely theirs, although they still haven't wrapped it up. Of 0:06:55.080 --> 0:07:01.120 course they they're in the for the for the first 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:02.240 round by still. 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.720 Yeah, so they can't say, oh, that game doesn't matter 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.560 to us because they want that first round. It's Dallas too, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.240 and it's and it's it's Dallas. And with Detroit in 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:17.480 Minnesota now tied at twelve and two, uh and Philadelphia 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.880 is twelve and two. So yeah, that first So. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.720 We have what we've done here ever since is we 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:30.400 have cleared a path. Okay, the the road is narrow, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:38.120 and by the way, the gate is small, and the 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.440 road is narrow, and the lightest twilight. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:46.320 It's a doggy door. There's no gate. It's a doggy door. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.600 I can see us trying to get through that hole. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.960 But yeah you can. As McCarthy said yesterday when it 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.640 was brought up, Yeah, we talked to the team about it. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.880 They I mean, we know, But what I know is 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.320 we got to beat Tampa Bay. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.480 They don't need to get into the mood. We just 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.360 got it, really, but they just need to know they 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:10.920 got to keep within. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.800 As I wrote, the if you look at the big picture, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.480 it would be overwhelming. You got to just take snapshots. 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.520 Yes, well they say one body of the time, right. Yeah. 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.320 Now, And having said all of that, the Cowboys play 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.560 on Sunday night against Tampa Bay. And in order for 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:33.480 that game to mean something, yes, they need Washington to 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.240 lose to Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:38.720 Okay, doable? 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:43.079 Okay, so you're you're an Eagle fan on Sunday afternoon, 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.120 So Washington otherwise they're eliminated. 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.439 You realize Washington doesn't have an easy road. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.319 Yeah, that's what I'm saying, got it. 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:59.520 They have to either beat Philadelphia, Atlanta or Dallas. And 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.960 beating Atlanta after watching last night may not be too difficult. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:09.560 But that's the Kirk Kirk Cousins homecoming games last. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.160 Home another level of motivation. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.400 His last homecoming game to Minnesota did not work out 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:14.760 well for. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:22.839 Can you guys realize how many what what slim hopes 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:27.400 that we're grabbing for? God, it's so slim. First of all, 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.360 Tampa is a good team, that's right, they really are. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.000 I mean it's going a lot of points. Baker Mayfield 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.559 is I mean, he's just the guy to be wreckon with. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.280 That's just all of is to it. Uh, such a long. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:43.040 Way from Carolina to now, right, he was just out 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.679 there just winging it in Carolina for. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.720 Yeah, and even longer way from Cleveland, you know. 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.800 Uh Beckham and is getting into arguments with everybody and 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.840 fighting with him and and now he just gets under 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:02.079 a regime that's you know for really experienced coaches. 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.280 Who who's the offensive coordinators? 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.400 Who did they because Dave Kanalis was there, Let me 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.199 look up real quick, clearly, I haven't done my research 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.040 yet on Tampa Bay. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.360 Well, I mean, because first of all, you're dealing with 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.600 a got to be a future Hall of Fame at 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:23.440 Mike Evans. That kid is really good. He's dogged. Of course, 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.680 we've seen him before. We know what he can do 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:26.200 and can't do. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.840 But they lost some wide receivers, right, if I remember, well. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:35.480 They lost it was in that game they were trying 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.560 to come back and Chris Godwin got the final two 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:43.679 minutes of that game. Liam Cohen is our offensive coordinator 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.840 and he is spent some time with Sean McVay with 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:52.400 the Rams. He was the Kentucky offensive coordinator in college 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.319 and then went to the Rams and went back to 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:59.120 Kentucky and so he was hired. But he was hired 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.520 to replace Dave Canalos who's now at Carolina the head coach. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.880 So and having said that, with the amount of points 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:13.720 they've been scoring, let's see on this see if they 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:19.200 have the points here for Tampa Bay. They have scored 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:24.360 four hundred and three points so far in the NFC. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:32.760 That ranks second behind Detroit, behind Detroit four h three 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:39.720 Detroit's four point fifty nine. And by the way, no 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:44.720 other team in the NFC has scored four hundred points. 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.360 And here comes the Cowboys chugging along at two ninety eight. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:53.680 That's twenty points a game. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:55.640 Yeah, just about. 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.280 But they're coming off their Tampa Bay's coming off a 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.560 game in which they fell behind seventeen to ten against 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.360 the Chargers and then they rattled off thirty straight points 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:08.040 to end the game. 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.240 So you know, I didn't really see the first half 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.000 of that game. Only the second half is what really 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:18.000 stands out. And what you see is a quarterback like 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:22.120 Baker Mayfield who really has a feel for this offense. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.679 I don't really care who's playing. I guess the strength 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.240 of their team has to be their offensive line because 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.280 he's able to negotiat in the pocket very well. They 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.760 keep him from getting into a lot of trouble, not 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.520 nearly the mistakes and turnovers that Baker Mayfield has been 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.800 known for in the past. And that is a problem 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.040 because when you get him outside the pocket, he's just 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.840 as dangerous as any other quarterback in the NFL. 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:50.319 You know. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:55.080 And what my memory is of him with Cleveland was 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.000 he was running for his life all the time, you know, 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.040 which was which to your point, when he gets out 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.680 of the pocket, he makes plays whatever, which is what 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.080 he did in college because he'd be running for his 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:08.960 life and he'd make a play and all the all 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.959 the time. And I think he figured out that what 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.839 worked in college doesn't work in the NFL a lot 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.880 of times. That's what he figured out in Cleveland. And 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:24.520 then it continued at Carolina. And then after one practice 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.040 with Sean McVay with the Rams, all of a sudden 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:31.520 it clicked for it. And now, how about if he 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:32.439 didn't ever get. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.959 That that was the way this first game is, only. 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.559 It was like a Thursday game. He arrived on a 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:42.240 national It was he arrived on Tuesday, and he had 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:47.199 to play on Thursdays. And he won the game, and 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:52.840 that one moment in time just resurrected his career. And 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.439 then he bet on himself after that. 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:55.480 Okay, he. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.760 Knew he was with a good coach. He knew he 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:02.000 was with a good coach who knew how to take 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.320 advantage of his lively own. 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:04.720 I mean, you can look at. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.640 Bacer Mayfield easily call him Matt Stafford. You could easily 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.800 call him Stafford. I mean they play the same, they 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.800 have the same you know, little tricks with the ball 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.920 and ways to get rid of the ball. Brett fav 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.640 like stuff, same thing. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.040 I think it was the second coming of the victory 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.120 of the uncluttered mind. He didn't know anything. He just 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:27.040 went out and played. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:32.120 And but even for Sean mc sean McVay saw that 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.400 in him, you know. And so then just like he 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.840 did in college, he bet on himself after he was 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.000 at Texas Tech. Okay, Patrick Mahomes is there comes in 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.440 right after him. In fact, he I think he so 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.400 he was a non scholarship player, and Cliff Kingsbury wouldn't 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.320 give him a scholarship because he had this guy named 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.240 Mahomes that was going to be their guy. So then 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.640 he transfers and walks on at Oklahoma and has to 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.040 back then Lo and behold, you had to sit out 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:07.960 a year even as a non scholarship player at both 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.520 places that you're at. And he was playing intermural football 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.880 and winning on the intermural football field at Ou and 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.680 and Bob Stoops tells the story, he looks. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.640 Like he's still out there playing in football. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:25.960 But even at Tech his true freshman year, he started 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:30.520 like five games at Tech and but then didn't get 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.600 a scholarship, and so he bet on himself and went 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.800 to Oklahoma, and even with you know what they had 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.640 at quarterback whatever you know, they he wins the job 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.480 and becomes a starter for three years there and Kyler 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.360 Murray has to sit on the bench behind for a 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:47.920 full year. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.680 So when he went to Oklahoma, did he go as 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.080 a walk on or a scholarship? 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.200 He was a walk on. Stoops didn't even know who 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.480 he was when he walked into. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:57.040 His office or. 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.080 Hitting asked for n I L money back. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:05.280 Then right right, so and so then after that stint 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.920 with the Rams, then he bet on himself again and 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.600 signs with Tampa Bay and then one season leads him 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.720 follows the greatest quarterback in the history of the game 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.800 and send them to the playoffs and then he gets 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.520 a bigger deal. You want to add an Now he's 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:23.720 working on a bigger deal. 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:29.080 You want to add another layer to that concern. No digs, 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:35.000 No Butler and Owaria and Lewis did not finish the game, 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.040 so they could be without could be. We'll find out 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:46.080 probably a little bit more tomorrow. They're top four current 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.360 or four of their top five current cornerbacks having to 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.560 go up against everything. Bill just said, better get a 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:55.720 hell of a pass rush. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.080 I'm going back to see those two corners that those 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.360 two dbs that they signed to the practice. 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.840 Squad, well, you're gonna have to. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.080 D d Delaney and Troy Pride were signed to the 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.159 practice squad a week ago. And by the way, they 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.639 also signed it. I like this signing to the practice 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:19.119 squad last week. Brayden Daniels offensive guard. Uh. He was 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.760 a fourth round pick of Washington last year and then 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.520 he's had injury issues. He's been on like three different 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.879 practice squads this year. But he's from Heburn High School. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.720 I liked him coming out. He was in the big 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.880 Green notebook. That's a guy on down the road. 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.640 I'll tell you what we don't just have to deal 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:41.440 with Baker Mayfield, and I'm talking myself into this. It 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:46.359 must be the offensive line, because was this guy, Bucky Irving. Yeah, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:50.880 he's good, Well, hell Oregon, he's got a lot of holes. 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.760 I had a lot to choose from, you know. So 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.120 sometimes when he's running through that line, he didn't even 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.560 get touched. And those are the kind of things that 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:03.840 make me nervous, having the guy that's shifty and he's 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.280 so small getting behind those big offensive linemen. You don't 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.680 know he's behind you until he was five years down, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.040 five yards down the line. 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.960 Fourth round draft pick out of Oregon, Bucky Irving, rookie 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.600 one hundred and twenty fifth pick, and they were teaming 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.800 him with Rashad White, so they met that running back 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.840 by commit. Actually, like their third back, Sean Tucker out 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:32.000 of Syracuse, he had a neck injury, head injury coming 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:37.080 out and that's why he actually was not drafted. But 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.359 he had a game earlier this season where he went 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.920 for one hundred and thirty one yards and fourteen carries himself. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.679 So their run game is real, which again speaks to 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.000 what you're talking about. Their offensive line is real, and 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.920 one of the guys on that offensive line is their center. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.240 Graham Barton, who's a first round draft pick who I 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:02.040 know is on the radar of the Cowboys. UH Cowboys 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:06.720 opted to trade down and pick up a third round pick, 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:11.800 which in essence became Cooper Bebie their center, and UH 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.919 drafted Tyler Geydon, who, by the way, on Guyton, you 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.960 notice anything on him in the game the other day 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.560 that you notice him at the line of scrimmage where 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.919 you know he hasn't had a tendency and he's gotten 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:34.280 called for this you know, illegal formation stuff. 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.760 He got his butt up on he was he. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.400 Was clearly, clearly he has been coached to and it's 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.919 almost like he doesn't He did not have and I 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.359 didn't look closely. It is just at the snap of 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.320 the ball, I was like, all right, he's doing something 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:57.679 different with his yes, his stance and he you know, 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.879 left tackles will put that left foot back, and he 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:05.560 was more square to the line of scrimmage. It seemed 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:05.920 like to me. 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:10.040 And that's unusual for a tackle, right, Yeah, should have 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.240 told that to a dooga to get your butt on 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:14.360 the line of scrimmage? 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.200 Why why do you why does he. 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:24.439 Always do you want to go on a rent here 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.160 in the second that's okay. 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.560 But regardless of how he set up, he played better. 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.720 He played more aggressively I thought. 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.080 And he's got a negro. 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:39.560 But without Yeah, that's the problem exactly. 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:40.840 He's got to learn what. 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:42.920 Who was it? 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.520 Oh it was Tyler Smith. Remember all the holdings he got. 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.520 He wasn't holding he was he was punishing the guy 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:52.480 to the ground and they were calling hold. 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:54.439 Connor Williams did that all the time too. 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.960 Yeah, No, that's that's definitely, that's definitely. Yeah. 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.720 It's like he won so finishing. 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:05.640 It's not just on the play for the game, right, Mean, 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.080 streaks can work against you. 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:11.720 Yes, yeah, because that's what they see at the end, right, yep. 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.600 You know, Mickey's got a mean streak about man. 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.280 That's why it's called the Mick rant. 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:22.120 It's not called the Walls Rent or Bill rant. 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:22.640 That's right. 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.640 And we're gonna see in just a moment if he's 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.200 got any more, if he's got left to the tank 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.520 when mix shots continues at a moment. 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.719 Star Sports Tours is the only official fan travel partner 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:39.960 of the Dallas Cowboys, offering exclusive game weekend travel packages 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:44.320 with pregame, sideline access and photo ops with current players, 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.800 cheerleaders and Cowboy legends.
