WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Go Time 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:04.760 The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:12.799 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is Nick 0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:17.000 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:22.279 official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:28.840 and Nicky Spagnola. And it's a Tuesday at the Star 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.919 in Frisco. Cowboys about to start a three game stretch 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:39.080 against the AFC South Cowboys about to go eleven and 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:45.839 three on the season, or a podcast studio, think Bill Jones, 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:51.600 Walls and Mickey Spagnola. What makes you say that I 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:55.760 watched Monday Night football last night. All I gotta say 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.680 is wow, Yeah, that's pretty boring. I watched Monday Night 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.640 foot ball, and I watched the Houston Texans the last 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.800 few weeks, and I've really liked the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah too, 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.800 I still think that's a w And So I've got 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.360 the Cowboys at eleven and three three weeks from now. 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.200 How about you indie through in the first half for 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:27.720 thirty six yards thirty six The Cowboys have forty five 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:33.240 sacks right now, they will have fifty hit by the 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.840 Steelers only got three last night and they got t J. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.440 Watt and they had none. And now they talked about 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.360 was his impact on the game. Yeah, yeah, they will 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:49.360 have five. If the game in Jacksonville is a trap game, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.320 you know that that's the trap game. If we win 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.600 that game, and if we win it in the right way, 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.520 that's when I would have the ultimate confidence, the utmost 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.560 confidence in this defense. Because there are certain games that 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.400 you you know, you're away from home, you know you're 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.680 out there in Florida, you know, getting close to Christmas. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.040 You got Philly the next week. That's set up. That's 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.160 a setup. If you win that game, then you have 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.560 matured as a team. And that's what I'm looking for, 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.760 a maturation as a team. And you need that when 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.280 you play on Christmas and all the way through the playoffs, 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.160 that's when you that's when you show me that you 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.799 are a team that has matured and understand that you 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.359 take care of business first, no matter what's going on 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:40.520 around you. I thought Matt Ryan was gonna just get injured. 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:46.000 I didn't want to say get killed like that whole season. Yes, 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.919 it has and and that's why they benched him. Yeah, 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.960 they benched him for that. Yeah, because they need something 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:58.520 because Sam Ellinger, they had a like how many offenses? 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.360 They had a bunch of offensive him hurt writer, but 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.720 most of them are back then back. Yeah, I mean 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.600 they've now they've got the rookie they're starting at left 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:12.799 tackle and uh Bernhard Raymond or Raymond h and he's 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.200 said him, well, but Tyler Smith, Well that's the thing, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.880 and um, you know, he has improved. I will say this, 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.120 he's improved since he made his first start back sometime 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.840 in October. And that was the game. It must have 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.399 been a primetime game because I watched it and it 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.720 it was. It was not pretty at all that that day. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.600 So he has improved. Um, And they've been able to 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.440 move Braden Smith back out to right tackle, and they've 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.080 got their center back and um, who's supposed to be 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.400 pretty good. Yeah, he's good. Yeah, all right. And they 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.920 got Quentin Nelson who when he came into the league 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.560 he's all everything you know at left guard. So they've 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.080 got a rookie at right guard too that we're playing. 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.320 Last night, it was one jail break after another and 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.160 that was that the same Jonathan Taylor running the ball. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:09.120 That's Jonathan Taylor. What happened? I mean, he was a 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:13.640 study last year. Last year they did the hard knocks 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:19.640 in season, which was extremely interesting, and Taylor was supposed 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.240 to be the guy. Well, they wanted WinCE to be 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.240 the guy to take him those They need one of 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.600 those last two games, right, and they're going to be 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:34.480 all by the way we come full circle, Yes we are. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.200 And so I don't know if he got injured at 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.960 the end of last season, but he didn't do well 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.520 as far as his performance, and therefore Corston Winston didn't 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.520 do well either. Yeah, and they just tanked. I mean 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.720 they tanked. And that to me, that was the beginning 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.880 of the inn for Frank Wright right there, putting all 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.840 of his chips in the Wentz baskets, right, and it 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.159 didn't work didn't work out. So now you've got another 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.839 He came to what the count commanders, right, Yeah, ready 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.880 to go crossing West, gonna take over. He's the man, 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.479 and no longer the man. He's about to get the 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:22.320 coach fired. This coach fired if he's not careful. Comes Heineken. Heineken, 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.360 and they're drinking that up. I don't drink it though, 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.240 But in fairness to Jonathan Taylor, he has been battling 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.400 an ankle injury. Okay, so that's what happened this season. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.640 but last season it didn't work out at all. Yeah. 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.000 So anyway, that's what we've got this week. It's and 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:48.880 it's a prime time Sunday night game the Cowboys and 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:55.080 the Colts this week. And so you know, the network executives, 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.919 they all were thinking that Matt Ryan going to the 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.479 Indianapolis Colts was going to be a great thing for 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.640 that branch. I stood right. That's why they got to 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.960 claim that as a Sunday night game on NBC this week. Boy, 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.920 the Cowboys better pull their weight otherwise no one watching 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:16.640 that game. Well, we beat Minnesota really bad, and they 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:22.000 cut away to other games when watching. You want your 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.240 team that good? Yeah, you want your team that good? 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.000 Where the rest of the nation is cutting away to 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:30.520 others as Polo at the end zone, they see later, guys, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.360 this is done. It's over as long as we can 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.600 keep watching here in Dallas. Yeah, locally, they although a 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.880 lot of people are listening to us right now, they 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.320 don't agree with that because if you're in some other 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.440 area that they cut away from the Cowboy game. Yeah, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.640 So I'm sorry who kiss nobody's cutting away Sunday night though. Yeah, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.960 all right, so what you got on your legal pad there, mickey? Um, So, 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:00.600 listening to Mike McCarthy made me do a little research. 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.240 And I don't know if last night's game changed at 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.440 any but he was talking about how they've got to 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.960 do better with the penalties. Oh guess they had thirteen. 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.560 How many times you commit thirteen penalties and win the game? Right, 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.160 that's how good they were. They overcame. A lot of 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:27.160 that was on offense, right, false starts, holding, and I 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.360 think that referee needs to go back and look at 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.960 that one too, by the way. Um, but I mean 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:38.600 they were overcoming third and fifteens, right, And so McCarthy said, yeah, 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:43.240 this this can't continue. Right, So I went through and looked. 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.960 Cowboys have the second most penalties in the NFL as 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.120 long as last night somebody didn't overtake them. They have 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.760 eighty three as a team, and so behind who Denver 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.400 has eighty seven. Okay, now look at Denver's record and 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.560 look at the Boys record, and that just shows you 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.080 if they clean up some of that stuff, especially the 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:09.480 false starts. And I don't know if you know this 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.480 is legitimate or not. But he was talking about, you know, 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:16.239 it's a short week, maybe we should have dialed back 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.440 the offense, not have as many motions and things like 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:25.000 that complicate the offense because there was false starts to 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.080 was at the tight end or the wide receiver was 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.640 out in the slot that he turned, and it's like 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:36.520 where are you going? But you know, to me, some 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.480 of these plays all plays, they come from a base, right, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.680 so you know, you can you can keep that base 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.320 simple or you can expand that base. And to me, 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.000 as long as you have that base you have to 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:54.000 deal with, you should know what not to do, and 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.199 what shifts not to make, and when not to go 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.800 in motion and things of that nature. The short week, 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:04.120 to me, I don't think that's a good excuse. They 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.640 we are in week eleven and I just don't think 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.200 that should be an excuse. And I do understand that 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.720 we do have some young guys on this team, but 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.560 the penalties are not being committed by the young guys 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.840 on this team, So to me, I think they just 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.080 kind of I don't know, I think they should be 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.079 just smarter because if you're coming if you're coming from 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.800 that base, that's one thing you need to figure out 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.440 as a football player. If you expand it, it's it's okay, 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.720 it's still coming from a particular situation. And you know, 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.439 for you not to know when to go in motion 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.160 and when to be still. I mean, we'll always watch 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.400 it all the time when we're on TV. You can see, well, okay, 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.200 when they came out, no one's still yet. Okay, once 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.920 he goes in motion, they can snap the ball while 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.920 he's moving. But two guys can't be moving while they goes. 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.800 I mean, these are all things that we all know of, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.680 and so for them to have these kinds of issues 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.280 when it comes to formation wise, that to me is 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.719 it's no exc used to have that formation wise. It 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.280 just doesn't make any sense to me. Especially and the 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.199 other thing, especially when you're playing at home. It's not 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.720 like you can't hear right or you should be able 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.400 to hear, and you've got all the adjustments being made 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.680 at the line for the most part, right, you know, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.800 I'm glad they're given Dak a little bit at a 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.439 little bit of that autonomy, but man, what is it? 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.880 I just it just seems like you've always got one 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.520 or two people that are not on the same page. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.320 That's just you know, and here's I guess that's what 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.839 made me feel good about this game. With those penalties, 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.040 I never felt like we were threatened, right, That just 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.400 that to me gives me a good feeling about this 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:44.720 team overall. They seem to take those penalties, uh, you 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.160 know in phases, they seemed to take it in very 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.360 well so and it seemed like they were getting holdings 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.880 on first down, which gives you an opportunity to overcome it. Right, 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.920 it's the holdings on second and then we did not 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.040 let them kill the drive for the most point. That's 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.320 how we got in trouble in Green Bay, right, you know, 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.079 the drives were killed because of penalty. So I was 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.720 being able to come back against a good team. I 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.160 still think the Giants are a good team. That that 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.199 made me feel good. You remember how many penalties the 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.559 Cowboys had on Thanksgiving last year? Oh, against the Raiders. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.600 It was seventeen fourteen that were taken anyway, but they 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.680 were accepted. They were It was same too, the Raiders 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.000 had fourteen. Yeah, they had fourteen also the Cowboys last 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.680 year on Thanksgiving. That was that's what you expect though. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.640 That was the Raiders especially but that the Cowboys, the 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.280 New Raiders, that was the Hockey League crew, right, fourteen 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.960 penalties against the Cowboys for one hundred and sixty six 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.120 yards in that game, Sayers was fourteen for one ten 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.679 and this one was thirteen for eighty six at something 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.079 like that, so twice as many penalty yards. Of course, 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.439 twelve of those penalties were called on Anthony Brown and 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:05.880 that Thanksgiving they gave us here twelve shut well, you know, 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:11.839 and so it's eighty six yards. Eighty six yards you 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:17.120 get docted, But that doesn't account for what you had, right, 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.439 and they had to come back, right, and I think 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.280 I think it was like another forty yards. They should 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.560 have that as a stat also, right, like yeah, because 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.800 here's where they marked the ball. Yes, and so I 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.800 look easily it was like thirty six or forty yards 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.560 they lost on those Could you imagine that those those 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.959 numbers could be astronomical because sometimes you might take you 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.760 might take back a fifty year for a testdown. Yeah, yeah, 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.839 So I mean so if you take eighty six and 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.720 add thirty six, you know, that's one hundred and twenty 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:50.000 six yards or one hundred twenty that's a lot of 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:55.760 in Bill Parcel's talk, one hundred yards means a touchdown, right, 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:02.120 you gave up a touchdown? And so all last year 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.160 we were just like, Okay, these refs are crazy, these 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:10.600 rests are crazy. But Dan, we shire trending towards refs 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.600 calling more and more penalties even this year. So what 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:19.840 is happening here? Are we that undisciplined? I was trying 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:24.719 to look at answer from that. Well, no, I mean 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:34.400 it's pretty obvious, right, he didn't want to admit it, 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:41.920 but yeah, we are undisciplined. Tuh. They had they had 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.880 a I'm trying to find it. I mean, they had 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.920 a the hold on on Zach Martin, they had a 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.280 first down on the play, they had to bring it back. Said, 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.800 that's your long way of saying, yes, we're on discipline. No, 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.600 that one he panked cake the guy. I still don't 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:05.160 understand that when you pancake the guy because he turns 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.839 his back on you and it looks like you're holding them. No, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.280 you're pancaking them. But that's just that's just one. I mean, 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:18.199 we've got thirteen more penalties and it seems to be 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.480 an annual thing now. I guess every Thanksgiving we're going 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:26.320 to give up Thanksgiving. It's a tradition. Cowboys are gonna 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:33.320 have double digit penalties every Thanksgiving with their turkey. All right, 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.240 So what did else did you get out of Mike 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:41.920 McCarthy yesterday? Oh? Or many made a big deal out 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:47.760 of rest. Who needs rest? The cowboys like he backs 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.680 off on his schedule. Oh, you know, it's like, oh, 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:55.080 we're in December schedule now, so you show up at 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.160 the same time, you leave at the same time, but 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.440 you don't practice as long cuts back to to keep 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:05.840 them fresh fresh. You had five days off in a row. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.040 Yesterday was just kind of a workout. It wasn't really 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:15.120 a practice, and none of their practices are really get 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:20.640 I'm with you. The key thing is you now, you 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.320 sleep too long and you can't stop sleeping. That's what 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.320 they're doing right now. They they're about to get into that. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:31.520 And they had five days right after Thanksgiving, you know, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, today. Oh, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.920 we worked a little bit on Monday. We have Tuesday 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:39.520 off and then we'll come back on Wednesday. Um so yeah, Friday, Saturday, 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.520 since four out of five days off. Yeah, and what 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.840 yesterday was was just conditioning basically and knock off the 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.160 RUSS from not doing anything from three days right. I 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:54.680 thought the biggest benefit they've had during this time is 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:59.600 the guys that couldn't play or played through the illnesses 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:04.400 that maybe by Wednesday everybody's back ready to go that 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.400 flu bug they can kick out of here. Because the 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:11.720 originally they were gonna go zoom this on Monday, and 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.440 then I think they saw it kind of simmered down. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.360 So I think they're much better. Jerry thought when he 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.320 was talking this morning that they that everybody should be 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:28.040 close to being back from the illness part. So the 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.480 other thing is is be interesting to see if they 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.080 start James Washington tomorrow started his clock. Ye his practice 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:39.239 time twenty one days, and you wouldn't do it until Wednesday, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:45.560 So that's a possibility, and then maybe he needs a 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.360 week or two before he can play. Okay, So when 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.600 we come back here on mix shots, you want to 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.320 talk about the wide receiving position, I would like to 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:59.440 kay and perhaps the addition of wide veteran wide receiver 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:05.160 or plural, just on what they need. Another sleepyhead when 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:10.920 we come back. The Medal of Honor is our country's 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.639 highest military award for valor in combat.

There's 0:19:56.080 --> 0:20:00.320 also the speculation about Odell Beckham Junior out there, and 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:05.760 reportedly he's supposed to visit the Star on Monday, and 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.679 he has a visit scheduled later this week with the 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.440 Giants and the Bills, and he was in the news 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:18.160 on Sunday at the Miami Airport and Mickey's now shaking 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.200 his head for those of you who are not watching, 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:25.199 And so, how how's this wide receiving corps looking for 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:29.440 this Cowboys team? Well, I think it's it's looking up. 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:36.199 And I thought that every time Michael Gallup caught a 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.720 pass or Ceedee Lamb caught a pass on Thanksgiving, the 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:45.640 price of doing business with ob J went down from 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:50.159 the Cowboys standford, Yes, I don't think they're desperate to 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:54.879 the point where they got to overpay or overcommit. I think, 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:58.719 as Jerry kind of called it, it's an additive, like 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.480 it's something else we can add. But it's not like 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.720 a total necessity like it was when you did the 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:11.280 deal with Amari Cooper making that trade for a first 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.720 round pick. So yeah, I think it would be a 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:21.560 nice toy to have, providing he's ready to play, and 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.560 that's something that they've got to research. Are you ready 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.960 to go? And if not, win because if you're talking 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:34.760 about a deep playoff run, say it's two three games, okay, 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.639 and you get two or three games during the regular season, 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:45.200 that's six providing you win, right. So but I just 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:50.359 if it's a long term investment, I would have to 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.800 shake my head on that one. What are we looking at? 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.119 What are we looking at right now in regards to 0:21:55.160 --> 0:22:00.280 our future, meaning just this season's finishing out this season? 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:02.920 What are we looking at him regards to moves being 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:08.240 made by whide receivers getting better or who's coming off 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.520 of an injury list? How are we looking right now? Well, 0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:13.360 what's this specifically? Are we looking at? Well? I think 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.639 Lamb is starting to show you that he could be 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:20.000 a number one receiver. I know you've been looking for consistency, 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.920 and I think it's it's it's coming. It's coming, right 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.399 it is? What does he have two one yard games 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:28.600 in the last three. And it's not just that, it's 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.920 the no mental mistakes last week. And then Michael Gallup 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:36.679 looks like, you know, I talked to him before the 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.720 maybe it was after the Minnesota game, and I said 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:44.160 something to him about his confidence. I said, it looks 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.919 like you're running your routes with more confidence. And he 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.160 looked at me and he goes, you see that. He goes, yeah, 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:52.439 I am, And so I think what you saw? And 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:56.040 thanksgiving him snatching those balls. I think he's a lot 0:22:56.080 --> 0:23:00.879 closer to being the guy that they extended, right. I 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.159 like how Dak throws it. I don't know how he 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:07.120 likes it, but it seems as if Dak always likes 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:10.359 to keep the ball only where he can get it right, 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.240 Because when you running those slants, it could be easy 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.560 for a defensive back to pressure you and somehow get 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:19.360 a hand in there. They're not taking those chances. Everything 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.800 he's getting is right here, and he is the only 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.119 person that can get the ball and it's and usually 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:26.720 if it's to him, it's high, and he trusts them 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:30.120 to go up and catch the ball. And then the 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:34.040 third receiver, all right, Noah Brown, you know he will 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:37.239 make a catch here. Or there. I think he'll make 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.119 a catch if they put him in the plan. Yeah, 0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.240 you see what I'm saying. Yeah, Yeah, he makes the 0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.000 catch as they use him, which is that's a veteran 0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.119 for you, right. And I don't know, I don't have 0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:51.080 the stats on his like what he's done for the season, 0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:54.160 but he's been kind of reliable. Now maybe he doesn't 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:57.720 get open all the time. I don't know, but he 0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:01.719 is another big target. But then if you're incorporating the 0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:04.600 tight ends the way they have, or you're throwing the 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.680 ball to Pollard, you know you only got one ball. 0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:14.080 So and obviously they liked the two tight end and 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.359 three tight end sets where you can throw out of it. 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.840 It's not just loading up to run. So let's say 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:24.880 it's no Beckham and then we do something with Washington. Yeah, 0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:27.840 and then he fits in, you know, as soon as 0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:31.160 he's ready to go. I mean, that knocks probably Tolbert 0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:36.359 out of the five man rotation, right, and you're gonna 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.640 have to cut somebody to put Washington on the team 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.320 to By the way, Noah Brown has twenty eight catches 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.680 for three hundred eighty four yards, averaging thirteen point seven 0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:51.160 yards of reception in one touchdown, forty five targets. Hand 0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:56.080 me that book. Dalton Schultz, by the way, thirty three catches. 0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:59.600 Just as a comparison, Dalton Schultz thirty three catches for 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:02.399 three ten and three touchdowns with forty six targets. But 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:06.000 he hasn't played all that many games, right, He had 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:11.560 one fewer game than Noah Noah Brown's ten games, ten starts, 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:16.560 Dalton is nine games, nine starts. So in contrast, Cede 0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:20.240 Lamb sixty four catches, eight hundred and fifty seven yards, 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:24.919 five touchdowns on one hundred four targets in eleven games. So, 0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:29.840 I you know your third receiver, you know they're not 0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:32.280 going to have that many catches usually, right they were. 0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:38.160 They had an embarrassment of riches when it was you know, Cooper, Gallop, 0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:41.240 Gallop and Lamb. Right, everybody's gonna have a thousand yards. 0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.879 I didn't quite work out that way, but I always 0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.760
