Speaker 4: Everson Walls.
Speaker 2: I got good looking people in the room, in the
Speaker 2: wrong room. How you doing right?
Speaker 3: How are you all right? The grand entriest, so he's
Speaker 3: talk just to get.
Speaker 2: Talking with Nate Man. He said, Hey, it's twelve o'clock.
Speaker 2: Oh damn.
Speaker 3: So he just tried calling.
Speaker 5: So technically is ever so late?
Speaker 3: I think so?
Speaker 6: I am?
Speaker 3: I am a little bit ourselves?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Plus I just heard it.
Speaker 7: He says, be on time, on time late, that's the deal.
Speaker 5: On time, that's right.
Speaker 3: That was Joe Avazano's philosophy too.
Speaker 2: By the way, ten minutes.
Speaker 5: Early legendary Eddie Robinson.
Speaker 4: All right, so here we are and Savannah welcome to
Speaker 4: mix shots. Yet lest at least Savannah wasn't in your.
Speaker 8: Seat exactly, I steered clear, I'm over here.
Speaker 5: And you can find Savannah on social media too.
Speaker 8: You can sports savvy with the underscore after it.
Speaker 5: All right, we're good savvy.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 4: Finally we got to sports savviness in the room for
Speaker 4: mixed shots.
Speaker 3: Yes, because we're so far behind on all that stuff.
Speaker 5: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 4: Okay, we saw some football last night and we got
Speaker 4: Is that.
Speaker 3: What it was?
Speaker 2: Oh? You guys were so bored?
Speaker 9: Well I was.
Speaker 4: I was text each other during Actually I was on
Speaker 4: the elliptical and I was not watching, And I get it.
Speaker 4: It was a group text and we need to add
Speaker 4: sports savvy to text.
Speaker 5: Now. Yeah, what was the comment, Mickey?
Speaker 10: I said, these have to be the worst two games
Speaker 10: I've watched simultaneously in my life.
Speaker 4: And when I got off the elliptical, I said, and
Speaker 4: ever sudden, this comes from a man who's watched a
Speaker 4: whole lot of Missoo.
Speaker 10: Football, not Missoo football, NFL foot.
Speaker 2: It was off.
Speaker 3: Did you watch them?
Speaker 2: Both of them? I was bored? Yeah?
Speaker 10: I have you ever seen more fumbles, interceptions.
Speaker 4: Bad pass teams that go against the Cowboys this year football.
Speaker 10: Both games past what at one time, it was like
Speaker 10: one was eleven to ten and the other one was
Speaker 10: thirteen ten thirteen nine.
Speaker 7: I think the main thing was it was very methodical.
Speaker 7: It was both games extremely methodical. You didn't see any
Speaker 7: really big plays offensively. Defensively you did, but offensively you didn't.
Speaker 7: I mean the drives, the drives that you need. Okay,
Speaker 7: we're ended the half, we're end of the game. You
Speaker 7: know they're throwing like five yards of the time. It
Speaker 7: was like watching Witting all over again when it used
Speaker 7: to be here with that by two touchdowns. It was like, hey,
Speaker 7: let's go through a three yarder to Jason Whitten.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: That was the only thing they can complete.
Speaker 7: And thus last night's situation as well, Holy that's all
Speaker 7: they can.
Speaker 5: They look nice when you get to watch the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: And everything, right, it's excited.
Speaker 5: Just think.
Speaker 2: I just think creating stuff.
Speaker 10: People need to watch that stuff and understand when they
Speaker 10: get that the Cowboys look at what's going. Neither one
Speaker 10: of those teams are I don't know all four of
Speaker 10: them offensive line problems. They couldn't block Deshaun Watson's he's
Speaker 10: missing passes by ten yards.
Speaker 3: I mean they weren't just incomplete, they were inoperable.
Speaker 7: And the commentators were doing their best, yes to try
Speaker 7: and make the game.
Speaker 2: Watch the look at the defense the defense played, well,
Speaker 2: that's why he did that.
Speaker 10: Nope, nope, I mean the first play of I forgot
Speaker 10: which game was first.
Speaker 5: It was Pittsburgh Carolina Carolina New Orleans.
Speaker 10: In New Orleans, and then the other game, which was
Speaker 10: that with the one the first versus Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7: Car apologized to you. He said I should play better.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna play better. So that was his apologies, and.
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson said the same thing. You know.
Speaker 4: When I started watching, uh, it was when the Dealers
Speaker 4: defense looked like the Cowboys defense.
Speaker 5: Ry Smith had the strip sack and t J. Watt
Speaker 5: picked up the football, and so it was really exciting.
Speaker 5: When I started watching the game, I thought I was
Speaker 5: watching Michael watching the Cowboy.
Speaker 3: If you want a disaster to watch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was awful. Okay, all right, well we're talking.
Speaker 10: We got two more next week too, because ABC doesn't
Speaker 10: have anything new on television, so they picked up a
Speaker 10: football game.
Speaker 3: So you're not you're.
Speaker 5: Not a fan of multiple Monday night.
Speaker 3: No, it's fine games because there's least things to watch.
Speaker 4: Well, that's I think that's why they made it multiple games,
Speaker 4: because the Monday night schedule wasn't strong enough for bucking
Speaker 4: eight month and so to choose between, and so they Choseland.
Speaker 3: Had a lot of.
Speaker 4: By the way to the record stands intact, and I
Speaker 4: think Bill Belichick probably had a celebratory phone call to
Speaker 4: Nick Saban after the game last night when Cleveland lost.
Speaker 4: The last time the Cleveland Browns started a season two
Speaker 4: and zero was nineteen ninety three, when Bill Belichick was
Speaker 4: the head coach and Nick Saban was the defensive coordinate.
Speaker 3: Were you starting.
Speaker 2: Three? Yeah? Yeah, okay, of.
Speaker 5: Course he was starting.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's why I asked.
Speaker 5: You're talking to a future Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Of course he was.
Speaker 3: Should already have been a Hall of famers.
Speaker 2: You're looking at it.
Speaker 4: Leaving up to Bill Belichick. What did Bill Belichick tell
Speaker 4: Gil Brandt a couple of years ago the Hall of
Speaker 4: Fame ceremony?
Speaker 5: He said, you know who needs to go in next?
Speaker 2: Everyone was hell bound on getting me in.
Speaker 5: That still is still all right.
Speaker 4: So Savannah is here and ready to take your tech messages.
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 3: I am ready?
Speaker 4: I'm ready. Eight one seven two nine oh three two
Speaker 4: nine eight is the highly popular Cowboys podcast text line
Speaker 4: and Mickey, do we have permission to open up the
Speaker 4: phone lines?
Speaker 5: Sure we can do that, okay? Eight eight eight eight.
Speaker 4: Five five two two nine seven is the phone number
Speaker 4: if you'd like to talk with each of us here,
Speaker 4: scold us whatever you.
Speaker 2: Would like to do.
Speaker 3: Chrisken multitask you think so?
Speaker 5: Yeah, police producer Supreme right again? Ah, there you go?
Speaker 5: All right, Mickey? What do you have on your legal pad?
Speaker 10: I don't know why it was like breaking news yesterday
Speaker 10: when the Cowboys released Ronald Jones. In my mind, he
Speaker 10: got released before he even was suspended.
Speaker 3: He wasn't going to make this team.
Speaker 10: After they drafted Duce Vaughan and we saw in training
Speaker 10: camp what Deuce was going to do? He to me
Speaker 10: in my mind watching practice, and then he got hurt.
Speaker 2: He was the fourth You said he was going to
Speaker 2: get suspended.
Speaker 10: No, he did get suspended. Remember two games, the first
Speaker 10: two games I said, before.
Speaker 3: He got suspended, I said, they they in their.
Speaker 4: Mind, and in my mind, he wasn't going to make
Speaker 4: the team when they signed him. A better a minimum
Speaker 4: contract unless there was an injury, right, Yeah, he was.
Speaker 5: He was insurance policy.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 7: I was just hoping he could bring some pop, you know,
Speaker 7: to our third and short, yeah, and fourth and goal,
Speaker 7: those kinds of things.
Speaker 4: Things played out the way in the preseason, the way
Speaker 4: the Cowboys hoped it would play out, right, with Tony
Speaker 4: Poller being healthy, and because we got to keep in
Speaker 4: mind that when Ronald Jones was signed in the off season,
Speaker 4: we didn't know for sure where Tony Poller was going
Speaker 4: to exactly to start training camp. Unfortunately, obviously he was
Speaker 4: ready to go and this and got thirty two touches
Speaker 4: in the second game of the season to show how.
Speaker 5: Ready he was. And then Rico Dudell, you know, won
Speaker 5: the d deuce.
Speaker 4: Fun won their positions like the Cowboys had anticipated they would.
Speaker 10: And they still wanted to keep Malik Davis on the
Speaker 10: practice squad. But the first, the first key to you, guys,
Speaker 10: he signs a one year deal for one point two million,
Speaker 10: so that was telling you that he signed a veteran minimum.
Speaker 10: He got one hundred and fifty two thousand dollars signing bonus,
Speaker 10: which is the most you can get a guy if
Speaker 10: you want to sign him to the veteran minimum. They
Speaker 10: did guarantee him three hundred and two thousand, five hundred,
Speaker 10: but when you take away the one hundred and twenty
Speaker 10: one thousand that he lost on the two game suspensions,
Speaker 10: so from a dead money standpoint, he only cost him
Speaker 10: three hundred and thirty four thousand dollars. So yeah, I
Speaker 10: always say it, right, follow the money, that's right.
Speaker 3: And you see how I mean.
Speaker 10: You know, Tchuma Doga was kind of in that same boat.
Speaker 10: And you know, if they didn't have anybody else that
Speaker 10: had any when they lost, well, let's go, they lost ball,
Speaker 10: he might have been gone too.
Speaker 4: And the issue for Tuma in his NFL career, he
Speaker 4: was a third round draft pick, started eight games with
Speaker 4: the Jets is rookie season, is he's been injury prone
Speaker 4: throughout his time in the NFL. And sure enough, he's
Speaker 4: been injury prone in the short time he's been here
Speaker 4: in Dallas so far.
Speaker 10: Right twice now right, so, initially in training camp when
Speaker 10: he missed a bunch of practice and now with the elbow,
Speaker 10: which I guess.
Speaker 3: Brings us to the injuries.
Speaker 10: If you're listening to Mike McCarthy, yesterday Jerry Jones this morning,
Speaker 10: it sounded like Zack Martin's probably not going to practice tomorrow,
Speaker 10: but he's going to play.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: He didn't practice all training camp.
Speaker 5: And he came in for victory formation, right, he.
Speaker 10: Did right exactly so ankle and he even said after
Speaker 10: the game it was like, yeah, I'll be back.
Speaker 7: You can see where he kind of reinjured it. He
Speaker 7: was limping badly. Everybody's looking back on the ground that's
Speaker 7: where he was doing one of those goal line plays
Speaker 7: and thank god he got up right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So anyway, and I think Truma maybe later in
Speaker 10: the week.
Speaker 5: I want to know about Tyler Smith.
Speaker 3: Tyler Smith is getting close, so I think.
Speaker 5: Last week he was getting close.
Speaker 10: He may have a chance, let's put it that way.
Speaker 10: He didn't have a chance last week. I think that
Speaker 10: was just gamesmanship going on. Brandon Cooks, I think has
Speaker 10: a chance. He had a chance at the end there,
Speaker 10: but they decided not to and they got You know
Speaker 10: what happened if you think about this, you guys, it
Speaker 10: almost turned into a you know how they talk about
Speaker 10: relief pitchers coming in low leverage situations, Well, they got
Speaker 10: to see some young offensive line and TJ.
Speaker 3: Bass and awesome Richards in low.
Speaker 10: Leverage situations because the games were kind of in hand
Speaker 10: by time they played and got a chance to see
Speaker 10: if what we saw from Jalen Tolbert in training camp
Speaker 10: was for real, and it was. He came in at
Speaker 10: what three catches. I had to go back and look,
Speaker 10: I said, I wonder, when's the last time he caught
Speaker 10: a pass? Well, it was November twentieth against Minnesota, and
Speaker 10: he only had a one.
Speaker 5: Or two catches last year and that was a blowout win.
Speaker 3: And that was a blowout win.
Speaker 10: So they got him out there, got him some snaps,
Speaker 10: so kind of the best.
Speaker 9: Of both worlds.
Speaker 10: You know, you don't have any like season ending injuries,
Speaker 10: but you got young guys some snaps.
Speaker 4: That's what happens when you get up thirty to ten
Speaker 4: on a team and forty to nothing on.
Speaker 3: A team, right, yeah, no, absolutely, All right.
Speaker 4: Hey, we've got Mick in Austin next up here on
Speaker 4: mix shot. Nick in Austin on mix shot. Sounds right
Speaker 4: to me, Hey, no, Nick, Nick, Yeah, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 11: The first color of the year and I'm the first
Speaker 11: color to day.
Speaker 5: All right, But you got I was.
Speaker 11: Coming in because I had a couple. First of all,
Speaker 11: I got a question for Everson. Do you think because
Speaker 11: I was watching a watching the quarterback obviously still Moore
Speaker 11: and flower than he used to be. He couldn't get
Speaker 11: that one guy there, there's no way. But he's still
Speaker 11: a heck of a corner. But my deal is on
Speaker 11: the other side with big boy Garrett, was it was it? Yeah,
Speaker 11: Garrett Wilson was posting him up pretty good too. I'm
Speaker 11: wondering if you know, if they had a better quarterback
Speaker 11: with things have been different, uh number one, And on
Speaker 11: that interception, if you watch it, it looks like they
Speaker 11: just happen to be lucky to be, you know, just
Speaker 11: right there, you know, and the ball just came right
Speaker 11: to him.
Speaker 2: You don't sound like much of a Digs fan.
Speaker 11: Oh No, I mean, you know, he he's great. You know,
Speaker 11: he's just he he has those dames. You know, they
Speaker 11: used to.
Speaker 7: Say the same thing about me, Nick, The ball used
Speaker 7: to just find Ever since, and there's no you know,
Speaker 7: there's no perfect quarterback.
Speaker 11: There's never gonna be that. I believe, next to quarterback,
Speaker 11: that's the hardest position to play.
Speaker 7: Now that I agree with you on And let me
Speaker 7: say this, Nick, let me say this. I was just
Speaker 7: talking with Nate Newton in the lunch room. Theyre and uh,
Speaker 7: we were talking about you know, we like to nitpick
Speaker 7: as former players. We never just say, Okay, this is great,
Speaker 7: we're perfect team.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: We like to look at the things because we were
Speaker 7: we were diagnosing that manner. We like to look at
Speaker 7: that games and see where we made our mistakes, not
Speaker 7: where we did well.
Speaker 2: We always nitpick and look at our mistakes.
Speaker 7: And yeah, there were a couple of times where Diggs
Speaker 7: was a little bit hungry on the tip pass that
Speaker 7: DeMarcus Lawrence I believe made on Zach Wilson. Yeah, he
Speaker 7: was beat on that play. And the confounding thing about
Speaker 7: that was he had inside help, so there was no
Speaker 7: reason for him to take the inside move. He should
Speaker 7: have kept his outside leverage on that play. And yes,
Speaker 7: you're right, if that would have if that would have
Speaker 7: not been tipped, it would have been an easy touchdown
Speaker 7: on Diggs. But when you look at any defensive back
Speaker 7: in any game, Nick, that's just the way it is.
Speaker 7: Defensive Backs play forty to fifty plays a game. You're
Speaker 7: going to cover a wide receiver up and down the
Speaker 7: field all day.
Speaker 2: Long there are going to be those moments.
Speaker 7: That's why this is a team game, so that when
Speaker 7: I mess up, my teammates may cover for me.
Speaker 2: And that's what happened with Diggs in the game.
Speaker 10: Also, he mentioned if there was a better quarterback out there.
Speaker 10: I don't know if a better quarterback would have reduced
Speaker 10: the amount of pressure the Cowboys put on Wilson. I mean,
Speaker 10: he may be more mobile than Aaron Rodgers, so let's
Speaker 10: let's remember that it.
Speaker 7: Would be hard for Aaron Rodgers to come up with
Speaker 7: protection that would give him more than the three or
Speaker 7: four seconds.
Speaker 10: And I think we talked about it yesterday on the
Speaker 10: Gilmore thing. You know, he was trailing.
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't know safety.
Speaker 7: I don't know if they're teaching this not just on
Speaker 7: this team but around the league. But I see a
Speaker 7: lot of outside leverage coverage, and I never did like that.
Speaker 7: Of course, Tom Lander had inside all the time. We
Speaker 7: gave up sidelines and curl routes because the inside route
Speaker 7: is just as bad as a deep route. It can
Speaker 7: go to the house just like it did or if
Speaker 7: remember Bill was it Billy Waddie nineteen eighty Yeah, right.
Speaker 2: They lost?
Speaker 7: Uh was it overtime at the end of a ball game,
Speaker 7: Billy Whitey catches one going across the middle, Cowboys versus Rams,
Speaker 7: and that's when Tom Landry changed the way defensive backs
Speaker 7: played on his team against with the flex.
Speaker 10: And it would have helped on that play. By the way,
Speaker 10: if hooker comes up.
Speaker 7: And may angle, I'm assuming that's what Gilmore was expecting.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that right.
Speaker 4: All right, we're just getting started on this edition of
Speaker 4: Mixshaw's Michael in California will be up next. We're taking
Speaker 4: your text as well. Eight one seven two nine oh
Speaker 4: three two nine eight is the text line, and we're
Speaker 4: back in a moment.
Speaker 6: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they.
Speaker 12: Snapped the press guy who looks right, it's not there.
Speaker 12: He escaped Flefft. He'll want for a first down.
Speaker 6: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 6: to have a team you can trust. With Blockchain dot Com,
Speaker 6: I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've
Speaker 6: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,
Speaker 6: and trade crypto currency.
Speaker 12: Prescott's gonna run thish in shelf, run it up the middle.
Speaker 6: Any stores, whether you're new to crypto or an active trader,
Speaker 6: They've got you covered.
Speaker 2: What are you waiting for?
Speaker 6: Get started at blockchain dot com.
Speaker 13: You know that sound anywhere.
Speaker 14: It's the crisp crunch, that first nacho chip with its
Speaker 14: perfect cheese to sour cream ratio sitting atop a layer
Speaker 14: of delicious beans. It's a sip away from perfection. That's
Speaker 14: what we're looking for. Add a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and
Speaker 14: we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana. Because while you can pile
Speaker 14: those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy, savory topping, there's
Speaker 14: no topping of cool pepsi.
Speaker 13: Finish nachos better with pepsi. That's what I like.

Speaker 8: I was born in Denver, but grew up in San Diego, California.
Speaker 8: All right, but I've been in Dallas for a few
Speaker 8: years now to what the University of North Texas?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 13: Yes, all right, I.
Speaker 2: Went to u n T.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, my two sisters, my niece, my son,
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, just so many people want.
Speaker 10: To here's the best part of where she lived, right,
Speaker 10: skiing and surfer.
Speaker 5: Ye, there you go.
Speaker 3: How about that, that's the both world.
Speaker 4: That's sports savvy, right there you go, all right, sports savvy.
Speaker 5: We have a text, right.
Speaker 8: We have a text. Mike from Boston would like to
Speaker 8: know if you guys are concerned with Michael Gallup. He
Speaker 8: feels it's been a long time since Gallup has really
Speaker 8: done anything.
Speaker 10: Mike McCarthy answered that question, and he sounded like they
Speaker 10: need to make a point in this next game of
Speaker 10: getting him the ball, not just calling plays and say okay,
Speaker 10: we're reading this or reading that. They need to get
Speaker 10: him involved. And he was kind of pointing out it
Speaker 10: wasn't his fault. It was just kind of how things
Speaker 10: played out.
Speaker 7: I thought it looked like they were deliberately trying to
Speaker 7: get the ball to CD. Yeah, I mean they were
Speaker 7: calling his plays only that's what it looked like.
Speaker 4: How about from the standpoint, you're moving CD around and
Speaker 4: Sauce Gardner is only on the one side of the field,
Speaker 4: and it's an opportunity to you know that Sauce is
Speaker 4: not traveling with CD, and.
Speaker 5: So you like that those matchups and CD's up against.
Speaker 7: So we created matchups mismatches with with that, and you
Speaker 7: could tell, yeah, the gallop is ready. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 7: the ball they threw to him, you could see that
Speaker 7: athleticism was back just on that one play, which was
Speaker 7: pretty impressive. He was trying to break out of that
Speaker 7: and you didn't see that last year from him because
Speaker 7: you could tell that the knee was still bothering him
Speaker 7: or whatever he had injured. So yeah, I'm hoping that
Speaker 7: they do come back to him this game of just
Speaker 7: the rest of the year, and I'd.
Speaker 10: Have to go back and look because Gardner didn't travel,
Speaker 10: and when CD was in the slot, you know who
Speaker 10: was on Gardner's side?
Speaker 3: Was it Gallop? And they took the match up they
Speaker 3: liked most.
Speaker 10: And then on the other side that they were they
Speaker 10: were working the DJ read right, it was.
Speaker 2: It was very good though, Yeah, still pretty good.
Speaker 10: But that I think that was the side that Tolbert not. Yeah,
Speaker 10: Tolbert caught the passes from on those slants, who was
Speaker 10: good too. By the way, another guy because of injury
Speaker 10: got snaps in the game.
Speaker 2: Were you surprised that Sauce.
Speaker 7: Didn't follow CD that something happened, because I mean, they
Speaker 7: are man to man most of the time they weren't
Speaker 7: playing zone.
Speaker 10: If I recall, you know, all the brilliant people that
Speaker 10: do the matchups, there was one matchup they wanted us, well,
Speaker 10: go ahead match up with him.
Speaker 2: Did we know that he would not follow?
Speaker 7: I assume that he would, especially in the game like
Speaker 7: this one when you have no Aaron Rodgerson, this huge game.
Speaker 5: They watched enough about the Jets.
Speaker 4: But I assume that maybe he's always he's still young
Speaker 4: in his career. Lookie last year and maybe anything the
Speaker 4: New York fans, right, but maybe they they left him
Speaker 4: at that one spot all last year.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe he doesn't like the slot.
Speaker 2: You know, when you when you're a baller, you a
Speaker 2: ball You got where the man is. If he if
Speaker 2: they move him, you go with him.
Speaker 7: We've had those moments, especially on third downs with the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: We didn't really travel much, uh in the zone and man,
Speaker 7: of course we did, but yeah, you got it.
Speaker 4: And he didn't travel with Stephan Diggs. A week before
Speaker 4: Monday Night, all right, Michael in California, you're next up
Speaker 4: here on mix shots. Hello Michael, Goodbye, Michael.
Speaker 3: It's a long distance.
Speaker 2: He's coming back. Come on here, you come on, Mike,
Speaker 2: maybe not maybe trying to find that new button.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: One of the big things that the so called experts
Speaker 4: like to do in the true experts like to do
Speaker 4: it too early in the season, especially power rankings.
Speaker 5: In the NFL.
Speaker 4: And for those of you not watching the video here
Speaker 4: on Mixed Shots, you did not see the roll of
Speaker 4: the eyes for Mickey Spagnola when I mentioned power rankings.
Speaker 5: So who do you.
Speaker 4: Think might be the number one ranked power ranking team
Speaker 4: in the National Football League through two weeks of the season.
Speaker 5: Who would you put number one?
Speaker 7: I would put the Cowboys, but I know that the
Speaker 7: league may put the Niners.
Speaker 5: And I'm just throwing it out there.
Speaker 4: I haven't even seen them power I haven't seen her,
Speaker 4: but I'm going to assume.
Speaker 3: Like a good lawyer, he's supposed to know the answer.
Speaker 5: But I'm going to assume that through two weeks. The
Speaker 5: knee jerk reaction that is typical.
Speaker 4: Of observers normally is the Cowboys will be number one
Speaker 4: power rank.
Speaker 10: I still think it's they would do San Francisco and
Speaker 10: I haven't seen anything.
Speaker 7: I think because we've been here before, you know, I
Speaker 7: think they're afraid.
Speaker 4: Well, why wouldn't they do Philadelphia because they Ladelphia.
Speaker 2: They don't look good yet.
Speaker 10: You know it's coming, but they isn't Atlanta to and
Speaker 10: oh two, Bill, I actually did this last week.
Speaker 17: By the way, I took ten power rankings around the NFL.
Speaker 17: You did, like NFL, ESPN, CBS Sports and so on,
Speaker 17: so all the big ones. Okay, So I put everybody's
Speaker 17: power rankings into a top ten. So then I gave
Speaker 17: everybody a point system. You know, tim is one.
Speaker 5: Did you publish this or is this no? I just
Speaker 5: did this on my bare.
Speaker 6: He's good all this time. I have on my hands,
Speaker 6: got kids, so yeah, so yes.
Speaker 17: So the number one team throughout the whole league was
Speaker 17: San Francisco. They had ninety seven points, which eight eight
Speaker 17: number one, and it was Philadelphia and then Dallas, Kansas City,
Speaker 17: and Miami. So we did get one number one vote,
Speaker 17: and that was from the Athletic gave us the number
Speaker 17: one vote.
Speaker 5: John Machoda gave us the number one vote of the Athletic. Right, well,
Speaker 5: I would imagine that.
Speaker 2: Sounds part of the course.
Speaker 17: PFF gave Kansas City the number one vote.
Speaker 4: Producer Supreme, Since you are on the air right now,
Speaker 4: you told me a caller's name and where they're from. A.
Speaker 5: Let's go to a.
Speaker 3: Hopefully we do better on the text y.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe Savannah needs to handle the phone call Alex
Speaker 5: in Arkansas.
Speaker 2: Your next job could with my friends, Hey, Alex, I.
Speaker 18: Good after, and Bill everything and Mickey and Savannah. I
Speaker 18: listened to you guys every day at lunch because you
Speaker 18: guys come on the same time I get my lunch
Speaker 18: break from twelve to twelve forty.
Speaker 2: Perfect, perfect everything.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 18: The only thing you and Darren Woodson did wrong is
Speaker 18: that you all wore the Cowboys uniform. If you played
Speaker 18: for the sud been in a long time ago, are you?
Speaker 2: Did he say Steelers Steelers? You're a Steelers fan? No,
Speaker 2: I'm no.
Speaker 10: He just.
Speaker 2: Get it. I get it. Yeah, or Rais or Raiders
Speaker 2: or yes.
Speaker 16: Yes.
Speaker 18: So I'm telling you everything I enjoyed. I'm a long
Speaker 18: time Cowboys fan.
Speaker 2: I went to the one.
Speaker 18: And fifteenth season, so you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was tough.
Speaker 18: That So for my point, yes, my point is, I
Speaker 18: can't remember the last time I watched back to back
Speaker 18: Copboys games this stress free. At no point in these
Speaker 18: two games I thought we was in trouble of losing
Speaker 18: this game. I am so it is so refreshing to
Speaker 18: see that the team is pulling together and not against
Speaker 18: each other. What I mean by that is that the
Speaker 18: coaches on the offensive side it's smart enough to recognize
Speaker 18: right now the strength is the difference because if I
Speaker 18: give you, if I give you five turnovers and you
Speaker 18: give me four back, then you only gained in one.
Speaker 18: And that's what was happening in the past. And I
Speaker 18: just I thought Mike McCarty would do a greater job
Speaker 18: because of his experience, not that Kellen Moore is not
Speaker 18: a great offensive coordinate. I think him and that age
Speaker 18: is too close, and Mike McCarthy would know better what
Speaker 18: to do. I play situational football and this is exactly
Speaker 18: what And so man, I am happy. I enjoyed listening
Speaker 18: to you guys, and y'all have a blessed and always
Speaker 18: go Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Thank you Adams. I love that he had this food.
Speaker 2: He has lunch with him. That's good.
Speaker 3: Well let's put it this way.
Speaker 10: So the Cowboys are two and oh and I went
Speaker 10: back to check the previous two and ohs.
Speaker 3: And this is the third time they've been at least
Speaker 3: two and oh to start a season since two thousand
Speaker 3: and eight. They were two and oh.
Speaker 10: In twenty they were three and oh and twenty nineteen,
Speaker 10: and two and oh in twenty fifteen before Tony Romo
Speaker 10: got hurt and then they lost seven straight.
Speaker 3: So don't take two and o for granted, Like, Okay,
Speaker 3: they do this all the time and then fail.
Speaker 2: I am surprised that it's so few times.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was too, But the reason I looked tot
Speaker 10: is because everybody was making a big deal out of
Speaker 10: my Karthy having lost all the season openers since he's
Speaker 10: been here, and this was the first time he won
Speaker 10: the season opener.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I had a feeling Keller Moore's name would come up.
Speaker 7: You could see the difference though. I mean, we weren't
Speaker 7: trying to necessarily go down the field a whole lot
Speaker 7: of times, but you saw where we didn't take our
Speaker 7: foot off the gas, but we changed our mo you know,
Speaker 7: we made sure that we were going to run the ball,
Speaker 7: run the ball, run the ball, wear these guys down
Speaker 7: to make sure that we didn't make any mistakes. And
Speaker 7: having said that, the Jets are a tough defense, right
Speaker 7: to run down and they kept softening them up every
Speaker 7: time with Tony Pollard and also with the other.
Speaker 3: On twenty five carries.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's impressive, and you didn't get much of a
Speaker 7: yard per average, right, But at the same time, you
Speaker 7: got a lot of work in from your offensive linemen
Speaker 7: and they were able to go forward and pound those
Speaker 7: defensive linemen. I think they felt a lot better that
Speaker 7: they went past blocking so much doing this part of
Speaker 7: the game, when last year that's what they were doing.
Speaker 7: This time they're going forward, and we talked about how
Speaker 7: offensive linemen love to go forward, especially lay in the
Speaker 7: ball game.
Speaker 4: All Right, Alex went down memory Lane nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 4: and we're going to go down Cowboys Cardinals memory Lane
Speaker 4: with ever Sin when we come back on mixed shots.
Speaker 2: And just all my life.

Speaker 4: abuse reading this stuff.
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, I'm gonna take it.
Speaker 4: Back, Savannah. We're going to go back in Cowboys Cardinals history.
Speaker 5: Here. The caller Alex in.
Speaker 4: Arkansas brought up nineteen eighty nine, and there was a
Speaker 4: road game in Phoenix.
Speaker 2: Have we nothing else to talk about?
Speaker 5: It just it just occurred to me. What you brought
Speaker 5: up nineteen eighty nine?
Speaker 2: It would ring yeah, right.
Speaker 5: It was not a good season.
Speaker 4: And but the story after the game it was a
Speaker 4: Cowboy actually took the lead late and then the Cardinals
Speaker 4: won the game on a touchdown pass to Ernie Jones.
Speaker 4: It's like twenty four to twenty something. And then what
Speaker 4: happened after the game, Actually they.
Speaker 3: Took the lead twice.
Speaker 7: They did, Yeah, and it happened, and it was twice
Speaker 7: the same guy game quarterback. It wasn't a guy what
Speaker 7: was the stud's name, number sixteen plumber.
Speaker 3: It was Tupa Tupa.
Speaker 7: It wasn't the start that Yeah, Tom Tupapa was then
Speaker 7: for his punting ability, and he comes in We're playing
Speaker 7: cover too, and man, he lights us up on my
Speaker 7: side of the field. Uh twice two man and two
Speaker 7: zone and uh man, Jimmy was smoking.
Speaker 2: Boy.
Speaker 7: We were just like, okay, game's over. Uh damn tough loss,
Speaker 7: you know, shucks with all that stuff. And we're just
Speaker 7: talking to the guys out in the field and talking
Speaker 7: with Roy Green, who didn't get to play that much,
Speaker 7: who was usually the guy running by me. Yeah, on
Speaker 7: that side of the field, but he didn't play, and
Speaker 7: so we weren't even talking about the game, but got
Speaker 7: into a conversation. He looks over my shoulder he goes, hey,
Speaker 7: I think your coach is talking to you, because Jimmy
Speaker 7: was being laid off, you know, with the marshals or whatever.
Speaker 2: And I turned around, what's going on? What's happening here?
Speaker 10: Man?
Speaker 3: Fratized.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know what that word meant at the time. Jeez,
Speaker 2: real quick. Then I chased him because he said it again.
Speaker 7: I chased him, and I remember the the telecast, that's
Speaker 7: the last thing they saw they saw was me running
Speaker 7: after him as.
Speaker 2: We cursed each other out going down the corridor.
Speaker 7: And uh, I always say, the ironic part of it
Speaker 7: was you're talking about fraternizing. The only thing that separated
Speaker 7: us from just spitting each other's faces was Eugene Lockhart
Speaker 7: and Earl Ferrell, who Cardinals and linebacker for the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: They were hugging each other walking down the card and
Speaker 7: that's the only thing that separated Jimmy and I. So
Speaker 7: I thought that was a bit ironic. We're talking about fraternizing.
Speaker 7: The only thing that stopped us from fussing about it
Speaker 7: was two guys hugging each other from opposite teams.
Speaker 10: Well, the the other part of the story was the
Speaker 10: guy that was supposed to be helping out.
Speaker 3: And I don't mean to throw him under.
Speaker 7: The bus, but Vince albre was the safety, apologized.
Speaker 10: And he was supposed to come over and help out,
Speaker 10: and he was late getting there both times.
Speaker 2: Both times right.
Speaker 10: And the weird thing of the game, as I remember,
Speaker 10: was that Troy had his best day as a rookie.
Speaker 10: He threw for three hundred and some yards, and I
Speaker 10: think at least one, if not two, were two Dixon.
Speaker 5: I forgot his number, eighty six, James Dixon.
Speaker 10: James Dixon, and he burned them after they took the
Speaker 10: lead on the first one. Each passed you and he
Speaker 10: threw one and got almost knocked out of the game
Speaker 10: to Dixon again, and they took the lead the second time.
Speaker 3: And the story on Dixon, I'll never forget this. The
Speaker 3: next year.
Speaker 10: He had suspect hands, okay, but he was a speedster.
Speaker 3: He could run.
Speaker 10: So the next year they started working him at running back,
Speaker 10: at tailback, right, And so I remember we asked Jimmy
Speaker 10: about Dixon going the tailback and he said, sometimes it's
Speaker 10: safer to hand him the ball than throw it to him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, to extend our fiasco with me and Jimmy because
Speaker 7: he's still hot, I mean that night and then going
Speaker 7: to the next day, he has a radio show, and
Speaker 7: you know, at the time, everybody had radio shows, and
Speaker 7: so he's going on we were at the time, we
Speaker 7: were Tony Roma, Tony Romas, Yeah, and they used to
Speaker 7: feed us all the time. So all the guys were
Speaker 7: there and Michael Downson got cut and gotten cut the
Speaker 7: year before he decides to join us anyway, because you know,
Speaker 7: we were still buddies and all of us were there,
Speaker 7: and he goes, hey, man, Jimmy just got through killing you.
Speaker 2: On the radio.
Speaker 7: And I was like, oh, really, because I thought you know,
Speaker 7: we were, we were done with it. And what they
Speaker 7: didn't realize was they knew it. But I had a
Speaker 7: radio show as well, and it aired right after Jimmy's show,
Speaker 7: and so it was dicey and of course I'm with
Speaker 7: Randy Galloway, the best, the best radio partner you can't
Speaker 7: ever have. Randy was so cool and he's like, all right,
Speaker 7: let's go get into it. We got He knew I
Speaker 7: was gonna come out blasted, so I came out with
Speaker 7: both barrels man smoking. But yeah, it wasn't good for
Speaker 7: either one of us. And whether I said anything or
Speaker 7: not on the radio, I don't think it was a
Speaker 7: magic that he was going to replace me anyway, right, but.
Speaker 3: That was the final straw.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 4: But if you if you look up the word frightternize
Speaker 4: in the dictionary, you will see a picture of ever
Speaker 4: so Long.
Speaker 2: With Jimmy in the background.
Speaker 10: So that lost ended up being did they play him
Speaker 10: twice that year?
Speaker 2: No? Just once, I think, And what really hurt not
Speaker 2: just no?
Speaker 10: No, you did you played them twice that year? That
Speaker 10: was the second time got beat twenty four to twenty.
Speaker 10: But it was the game following the only win of
Speaker 10: the season.
Speaker 2: That's the point. That's the point.
Speaker 7: And and you know he's like, you know, I know
Speaker 7: he was upset because you know, we had a little thing,
Speaker 7: you know, we could have had a little run going,
Speaker 7: and that's what everybody was looking forward to it.
Speaker 4: Because there was no first round draft pick to play
Speaker 4: for because they'd already used that that draft pick.
Speaker 2: And we were and eight that game.
Speaker 7: We were and eight before that game, and uh that
Speaker 7: was against the Redskins of the wed Skins at the time, right,
Speaker 7: And that's when when we went in the locker room
Speaker 7: and he goes he was just yelling, yelling, like Jimmy,
Speaker 7: we're oh and eight. I said, well, one in eight,
Speaker 7: what are you expecting to happen here?
Speaker 2: Boy? That's all he hung on to a roll. Now, yeah,
Speaker 2: he thinks we're getta eight and eight to the playoffs. Like, bro,
Speaker 2: we couldn't even make eight and eight at the time.
Speaker 10: But you know what, though, the next two games you
Speaker 10: got beat twenty four to twenty. Then you and I
Speaker 10: was not on the field Miami seventeen fourteen the field,
Speaker 10: and then there was seemingly some momentum and it was
Speaker 10: Thanksgiving and Philadelphia came in twenty seven nothing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the bounty bull.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes it was.
Speaker 7: Jimmy has been throwing me under the bus ever since,
Speaker 7: so ever since.
Speaker 4: If the trade deadline had not passed, ever since, you
Speaker 4: would have gotten traded.
Speaker 2: Probably, I'm surprised that got shot.
Speaker 5: He's gonna get something for you, right.
Speaker 2: You didn't get much the next year a couple of times.
Speaker 4: And so the rest of the story is everything goes
Speaker 4: on to the New York Giants and they win.
Speaker 5: The Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I mean so when you look at it all, hey,
Speaker 2: life is life.
Speaker 5: And then the Cowboys wound up going.
Speaker 2: Super everybody's cool. Everybody's cool. It all worked out.
Speaker 5: There's no ill feelings here.
Speaker 2: Let's stop right there. Stop.
Speaker 3: Savannah's got to see this side. And I think she
Speaker 3: has a text message.
Speaker 2: That's what I do.
Speaker 8: Arthur from Spring Texas would like to know that. Is
Speaker 8: it possible that Mike McCarthy is being a good poker
Speaker 8: player with being conservative with the run game?
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 10: I think there was something to it at the goal line.
Speaker 10: I don't think he wanted to tip his hand.
Speaker 3: I think he had some plays that they.
Speaker 10: Wanted to use, and uh, you know, they had some
Speaker 10: plays that should have worked right.
Speaker 3: You mentioned Hendershot.
Speaker 2: Yep, and you missed, you miss missed, missed it.
Speaker 10: Miss missed Ferguson. And there was the.
Speaker 3: Play with.
Speaker 2: Ric O'Donnell which had to jump jump cut.
Speaker 3: Yeah, jump cut. You don't jump cut from the one
Speaker 3: yard line. You jumped back two yards if you so.
Speaker 7: When you when you think about it, those were at
Speaker 7: least two more opportunities where for to come away with touchdown.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And they weren't fancy plays either, So I.
Speaker 7: Think once he saw that they could work, right, that's
Speaker 7: all they needed to see.
Speaker 3: And then and then when you're up the way they
Speaker 3: were up.
Speaker 4: By the way, there was a pass on the sideline
Speaker 4: that Sauce Gardner could have picked off earlier.
Speaker 5: In the game.
Speaker 4: And that was the only way play like that was
Speaker 4: the only play, only way that the Jets were going
Speaker 4: to get back.
Speaker 7: I talked about that play, but better because that's how he.
Speaker 3: Was trying to throw it away. He couldn't, he couldn't
Speaker 3: throw it away. He needed to throw one of the
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 7: But at that time, yeah, I still thought, and I
Speaker 7: told Nate this, I still thought we could have won
Speaker 7: the game anyway, even if he would have given right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: But that was close, absolutely all right.
Speaker 5: We're out of time on this. Doesn't that go fast?
Speaker 10: We're going to stop all the time change. We might
Speaker 10: have text messages all piled.
Speaker 5: Up over there. We probably have it from weeks before.
Speaker 5: It's the first time.
Speaker 3: That we just had.
Speaker 5: Let's get somebody younger in here, all right.
Speaker 4: So that does it for a Tuesday edition of Mixed Shots,
Speaker 4: and everybody's back to work tomorrow. Cardinals week officially starts
Speaker 4: to work.
Speaker 3: That's right, and we'll be here once again.
Speaker 4: All right, and for all of us here, we appreciate
Speaker 4: you joining us. And Everson closes the show as Everson
Speaker 4: always does, will Cowboys.
