Cowboys. This is nick 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:17.560 shot screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:22.840 official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:33.360 and Nicky Spagnola and Niners Divisional Playoff Week is officially underway. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.920 The days are coming at us fast this week as 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:41.040 the playoffs roll on. Inside the SWBC Mortgage Studio, Bill Jones, 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.560 Mickey Spagnola. And there's an empty seat here, Mickey, what's 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.800 going on? Well, I don't know. Did we lose Everson 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:53.920 in the playoffs? Oh? No, we have Everson on at 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.400 a remote location. He would not miss this week. This 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:02.600 is Niners Week. How you doing, Everson? I look forward 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.399 to coming in next week after we kick some ass. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.080 There you go, Andy, When the Cowboys will be facing 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.680 When the Cowboys will be facing one of Everson's former teams, 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.280 the New York Football Giants at at n T State. 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.200 Do you be the NFC Championship game? Right? Everson? That's 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.080 what you're hoping for, right? I know that's what you're hoping. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:30.919 That's what Jerry's hoping for. That can happen. It can happen, 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.800 It can happen. All right, very good, Well let's get well, Mickey. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.720 What you can't see here, Everson and all of you 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.840 listening as well, and even those of you watching you 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.680 probably cannot see what Mickey has in front of him. 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.960 It's a lot of graphics with forty nine er red 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.160 on it, which means he has printed out the San 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.640 Francisco forty nine or media notes, and he is hard 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.360 at work preparing for this game. And what page do 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:04.400 you think I went to immediately brought Deebo Samuel Okay, 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:13.040 my man debo. So this one, this one, this one 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.519 stuck out to me. Where he go ahead? I was 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.760 gonna say this one stood out to me immediately. He 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:26.200 is one of three players and the only wide receiver 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:31.480 in NFL history to have at least one thousand receiving 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:39.239 yards in a season, five receiving touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.920 which he did all in twenty twenty one. The other 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:50.520 two players to accomplish that triple were Marshall Falk in 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:56.519 nineteen ninety nine and Roger Craig in nineteen eighty five. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:04.560 So how rare is this guy? That's very impressive. That's 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.240 very impressive. And there's a more. There's a there's like 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.560 another full page of these firsts and onlies that he 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:18.000 has accomplished in his uh short NFL careers, you know. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.280 And the other thing that Mickey will be quick to 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.440 point out this week, you said in his Little Green 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.800 note Book he had Deebo samuel I rated as one 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.720 of the top prospects coming out South Carolina once upon 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.080 a time. It didn't take you long. You didn't need 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.320 to go very much deeper into your little Green notebook. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.240 You do it. Just like with Micah being drafted by 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.080 the Cowboys, Mickey said, this is the guy the Cowboys 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.640 need to draft. Well, Debo was that guy that year 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.400 in Mickey's Green note Book. Since my daddy said, this 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:52.760 is a football game, spa spag, I have just found out. 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.480 You do everything but make you make the best picks 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.480 and you go. You check the field as well. So, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:06.000 by the way, since you brought that up. The Cowboys 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:12.000 punter Brian Anger, who actually punted in Tampa at one 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.280 point in his career, he said, it was a year 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:20.480 or two ago the NFL PA radio the five worst 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:26.800 grass fields in the NFL and Raymond James Stadium was 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:32.920 among those five. So my pregame analysis of that poor 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.400 field was very accurate because it's still one of the 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:41.680 worst five fields in the National Football League. And as 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:49.320 Anger said jokingly, they're in Tampa, they're in Florida, they 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.440 get rain, they get sunshine. They ought to have the 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.680 best grass in the NFL, and they don't. I don't 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.680 understand it. I don't understand it at all. I don't 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.880 get Bill. I'm sure you're already working on the other 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:11.240 four fields in the NFL. I know you're looking it up. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.000 I can just feel it. Let's hope, let's hope it's 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:20.839 not it's not Santa Clara right in Levi's Stadium. And 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.479 so I think maybe what we talked about yesterday, it 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.640 might be that Tampa they played too many games. They have, 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.880 like the University of South Florida plays there. They've got 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.840 the Gasparilla Bowl there, another college bowl game, there's probably 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.120 high school games there. They played too many games there, 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.680 and so that's why that's why the Cowboys missed four 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.440 extra points here. Now, now, how about this also that 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.840 came up yesterday when we interviewed when John Fossil had 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.880 his basically his conference deal press conference. And by the way, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.640 it was very interesting. Normally all the three of the 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.240 coordinators are available the day after the game. Now this 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.479 is a short week, but they made sure that the 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.520 special teams coordinator was available the day after. Well he 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.000 didn't have to probably spend as much time on his 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:09.480 game plan as the other day. But he also pointed out, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.919 so I don't know if you guys heard this the 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:18.560 week before that, and I forget which team did this, 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.640 but they were putting a marker on the field to 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.599 place the ball down on place kicks, and the NFL 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:30.200 sent out a memos saying you cannot do that. Well, 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:35.640 what the Cowboys had been doing, and Anger, who's the holder, said, 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.360 when we get like a field like that, he goes 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.680 a grass field, I will go get a piece of 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.200 white grass and I'll put it on the mark where 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.160 we want to put the ball down. And he said 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.239 the official came up to him and said, you can't 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.760 do that and swiped away his spot with the white grass. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.000 It wasn't like it was elevating the ball like cant right. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.880 And then the other thing that took place, And I 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.600 think I might have mentioned this yesterday and I don't remember, 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:12.720 but each team has three K balls, meaning those are 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.440 the balls you kick with. So Anger pointed out that 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.000 before the game they get those three balls and they 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.320 can rub them down to get the shine off. And 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.440 he said, we spend forty five minutes with the first ball. 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.400 He goes about fifteen with the second ball, and we're 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.160 figuring by time we get to the third ball, we're 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.679 probably not going to need that, right, and he goes, well, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.880 on the first two bad extra points, the balls went 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.320 into the stands they lost them. So there was a 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.040 discussion on the sideline what are they gonna do if 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.080 they lose their third K ball? Were they going to 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.400 have to go to Tampa Bay and say we need 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.440 to use one of yours. So that became a discussion too. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.960 Not to give any excuse for missing four extra points, 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.120 but all I know is that turned into a national 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:12.640 story because last night, at the opening of Jimmy Kimmel's monologue, 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.440 he brought up Brett ma who I'm sure he had 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:21.200 never loved before, and they showed the highlights of all 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:26.200 four miss kicks, one after another after another after another, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:36.760 a national TV unbelievable. America loves a good failure. Yeah, 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.640 but they did. But they did it just it just 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.640 it just feels our soul. It feeds our soul, it 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.040 really does. But at least they showed the one he made, 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:49.600 so uh, you know. And and my thinking is for 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.000 Brett Maher. The kickers are always saying, I'm just trying 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.040 to go one for one, and you hope he keeps 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.880 that in his mind, that those are gone and next 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.800 game to go one for one. Those four misses don't count, 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.320 all right, So he will be here next week then 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:12.199 this week. Yes, yes, we have not seen any tryouts 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.040 going on this week out on the practice field. At 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.760 that was Jimmy. Now, if that was Jimmy, you know, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.600 that'd be a whole lot different. We have some a 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.440 lot of guys out there kicking, you know. In fact, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.560 I got a text from a friend after I think 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.439 the second missed extra point the other day and he's 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:39.320 simple My friends said, where's the asthma field? Yeah? Okay, mickey. Yes, 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.000 we've had an open locker room already today. We did 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:47.400 because that's where I listened to Brian Anger speak. Anybody 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.679 else you want to know about, well, you tell us 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.720 what we need to know. Jay Ron curse, seemed kind 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:58.880 of confident that he'd be ready to go in this game. U. 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.280 I've been told by two different people that they felt 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.480 like he would have a good chance to play after 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.800 spraining his knee. He said, this one wasn't as bad 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.480 as what he did, and I think we forgot this. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.800 He did that in the season opener and then missed 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.480 like two or three games, as I off the top 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.600 of my head, So yeah, he was. He was pretty 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.080 confident that he would be ready to go, and he 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.160 didn't want to hear any of this stuff about, you know, 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.839 everybody thinking about the loss from last year to San Francisco. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.559 He said, we have enough motivation of our on our 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.840 own to not have to bring something else up. And 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.360 he pointed out that maybe for a week he kind 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.559 of seethed over that loss and then he got over it. Okay, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.120 here's a note on Jyron curse and how close the 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.600 knee injury. You're very close. In fact, you are right 0:10:55.679 --> 0:11:01.040 on against Tampa Bay in the season opener on forty 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:05.160 second defensive snap of the game. He injured his knee 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:11.280 against Tampa Bay in the playoff season opener on the 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.520 forty second defensive snap of the game for him, he 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:20.320 injured his knee. Not only was against Tampa Bay, it 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.760 was also on the forty second defensive snap at a 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.520 game impossible. Yes, and in fact he did miss the 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:32.760 next three games against Cincinnati, the Giants in Washington U Cowboys. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:37.120 Cowboys cannot afford him to miss the next three games. Yeah, 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.280 are you are you reading from that same uh? Are 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.319 you reading from that same thing? Remember whether they were 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.400 making touchdowns on every interception? No, that was that's a 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:51.480 pro football reference. Is this is from my big black 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:56.760 Dallas Cowboys season uh notebook that I keep. I chart 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:01.000 all the snaps for players all season long here and 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.040 that's why it sounds kind of it sounds kind of 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:09.360 made up. Nope, it's right here, forty seconds snap of 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.040 the game. But that is Big Curse needs to be 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.880 ready to play and playing a full load on Sunday 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.400 against San Francisco, wouldn't you agree, Mickey? Yes, they sure 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:25.440 could use him, especially since I guess I didn't relyze 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:31.000 this going through all this red inc release here that 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:36.679 against Seattle they were trailing seventeen sixteen at halftime. They 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.880 ended up with five hundred yards total offense. Five hundred 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:47.319 so the offense better function because they're gonna get theirs. 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.920 Now you've got to make sure you're getting yours. That's 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.000 the way I'm gonna look at this one. Hey, can 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.000 I can? I know I have an issue. I have 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:01.120 an issue in regards to the narrative that's out there 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.000 all of a sudden, it's really flipped in regard to 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.240 the Cowboys offense and how it's amazing they are all 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.280 of a sudden. I mean, it's really been flipped on 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.920 his head, right, And you know when I look at 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.720 the game, of course, damn good game. Dad did well. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.880 Kellen Moore, Man, I didn't get to talk about it yesterday, 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:29.760 but just an excellent job. Clearly they were holding out 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.559 against Washington. I think we can all come to grip 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:37.280 with that they were holding out, but this particular game 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.720 they let it all out. They knew exactly what's going on, 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:46.040 they anticipated everything. Well, there are times take away the interceptions, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.960 but there are times when Dad has done a lot 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:55.960 of this stuff before, right. I mean, of course, this 0:13:56.000 --> 0:14:00.839 was an excellent game, but it's not leaps and bounds guy. 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:05.520 You know, he's kind of been that guy once again. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.680 Mistakes here and there, he's kind of been that guy 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.120 ever since he's been back. I mean, I don't know that. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.840 Is that just me thinking that, Well, here's what's happening 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.360 when you look at the points per game and things 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.600 of that day. Yeah, And here's what's happened is everybody 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:25.240 has all season long concentrated on the interceptions and as 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:29.680 Mike McCarthy said, I concentrate on the productivity. And his 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:35.040 productivity in these games have been amazing when you figured 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.840 that in that nine game stretch they averaged thirty six 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:43.480 points a game, right, thirty six. So has he had 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:48.360 a couple bad games, yes, But here's his quarterback ratings 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.760 since he came back from the injury. One thirteen point two, 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:57.000 one fourteen point five in the loss to Green Bay, 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.880 it was seventy eight point six, the win over Minnesota 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:05.600 one thirty nine point three, then ninety one, one hundred 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:11.200 seventy against Houston when the entire team struggled, then one 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:16.480 oh seven one twenty four, and that was against Philadelphia 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:21.440 eighty five point six, and then Washington unfortunately it was 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.320 forty five point eight. So if you look at his 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:33.440 efficiency in those uh, what is that eleven games, five, ten, 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.320 twelve games. Yeah, he's been pretty damn good. You want 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.920 me to do brought Purty now, yeah, brought Purty eighty 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.920 eight point eight one, thirty four point zero one, seventeen 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.880 point zero one, fourteen point six, ninety five point four one, 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.400 forty one point two in the playoff game one thirty 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:56.240 one point five. So efficient. And here's what I forgot 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.560 about them, the forty nine ers. They started the season 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.240 off one one and two and three and four, and 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:09.680 then they won now eleven straight games, eleven And how 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:15.280 many points are they scoring since Brock Purty started playing. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.840 They have played because he did not start the first game, 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.920 he came in off the bench because Garoppolo got hurt, 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:22.840 and they scored thirty three and he came in early 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.880 in that game. He threw thirty seven passes, so it 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.800 was basically a start. It doesn't count as a win 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.200 on his record as a starting quarterback, but it was 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.800 they scored. They have scored over thirty points in every 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:40.680 game but one against Seattle since he started playing. So 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:45.000 we're talking six regular season games in one postseason games, 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.120 so six out of seven games they've got thirty or 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.040 more points. It's is very similar to the nine game 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.680 stretch that Dak had, and you throw in the playoff 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.560 game for Dak where he was averaging thirty six a game, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:01.800 and now you got another one. Well, even before he 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:06.760 started in there with Garoppolo, I see a thirty seven 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.280 or thirty one and a thirty eight until they got 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.920 to that New Orleans game when it was thirteen to nothing. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.280 Was that the one Garoppolo got hurt in? No, No, 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.720 he got hurt in the Miami game again, h and okay, 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.840 Party came off the bench and let him to win. Yeah. 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:27.360 So so maybe it does predict your scorer off your 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:32.080 gas tank fill up, I think so. But no. But 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.200 but to me, guys, it just seems to me that 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.600 in order for Dad to get any type of credit, 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:43.320 and this offense period Kellen Moore included, Uh, they damned 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.720 have to be perfect. It just seems to be the 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.040 near the fear. And that's the way they were against Tampa. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:54.120 They were damn near perfect against Tampa. Right, what did 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.960 what did Seattle? Did they finish with a winning record? 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.880 Were they nine and eight? Something that I want to say, 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.040 I was just looking to see during this nine eight, 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.440 during the nine and nine now, because they lost these 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:14.120 these winning streaks. New Orleans losing record, Miami I think 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:18.800 had a winning record, Tampa Bay losing record, Seattle winning record. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.560 Washington finished five hundred thanks to the Cowboys, Vegas and 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:27.440 Arizona losing records. So their their streak down there stretch. 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.680 You know, they were playing teams darn Wright should beat 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:32.600 and you know, and that's and if you look at 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.280 the Cowboys, if they had beaten those two teams that 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.520 they had what fourteen and seven was at seventeen point 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:44.440 lead and lost both games in overtime, they're the number 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:53.199 one seed. So I think the narrative, what you know 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.199 Everson brought up is the fact that it had they 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.720 not had those two hiccups, they would have been talked 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.200 about out just like this team right here. All right, 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.560 we got so much more to talk about here on 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.399 this edition of Mick Shanson.

All right, 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:38.280 Nate in Frisco has chimed in and he has made 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:45.639 the comment good or bad? I need Rookie Dakota meeting. 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:50.600 I think limit those oh turnovers, Yes, absolutely, which he 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:54.120 Dakota did a very good job of limiting those turnovers 0:21:54.160 --> 0:22:01.280 against Tampa Bay. He was very jude issus with the football. 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.879 I think I saw him throw the ball away a 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.520 couple times, and I saw him take off and run 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.320 and with positive yards by the way, a couple of 0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:15.280 times too. I want to say, maybe three or four times. 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:21.240 Let's see here real quickly, he ended up running seven 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:25.320 times for twenty four yards with a brilliant call for 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.960 a one yard touchdown. By the way. That's exactly right, 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:34.560 all right, uh, and we'll reconnect with Everson here shortly. 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:39.760 I've got one for h Nate in Frisco. Okay, okay. 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:47.480 I think we talked about the offensive line yesterday, the 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:52.840 hat that Avante Collins had follow the we go what 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:56.000 was it? Follow the offensive line or something to that effect. 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:01.399 So I saw a little panel that I'm not going 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:05.880 to have a lot of respect for. ESPN put out 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:11.440 their top ten rookies, right, okay, And of course they're 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:18.120 all cornerbacks, wide receivers, running backs, and I believe there 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:25.480 was one offensive lineman, Tyler Linderbaum. Then they had ten, 0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:30.119 just missus. Tyler Smith was not among any of those. 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:36.080 And I heard Troy Aikman say during the game after 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:40.879 Tyler Smith had to change from left guard back to 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:45.800 left tackle mid stream and I'm paraphrasing, but he said 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:49.080 this guy should be on some sort of All Rookie 0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:52.760 team or Rookie of the Year for what he's been through. 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:56.879 And these guys had no idea who Tyler Smith is. 0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:01.879 I guarantee you because I think about where the Cowboys 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:05.359 would be if this kid was not playing at what 0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.600 twenty one years old at the level he's playing at 0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:14.359 right now, at two different positions, and had trained all 0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:18.480 summer at guard, and what ten days before the season opener, 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:21.040 they go, no, you're the starting left tackle, not the 0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:24.760 right tackle, the left tackle, and then all of a 0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:26.760 sudden it's like, well, we need you to look at 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:31.800 playing guard, and so they move them into guard and 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:35.960 then it's like okay, but you know what, However, many 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.679 snaps into the game, you know, you go back to 0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:43.000 left tackle and played well. And they are going to 0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:46.520 need this offensive line to play well against that San 0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:49.760 Francisco front to be able to score the amount of 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.080 points they're going to need to score if they want 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:54.640 to win this game. And you look at the position 0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:58.200 of flexibility that Tyler Smith has and what that's done 0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:01.199 for the Cowboys even here in the last three games, 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.120 because it was in the Tennessee game where Beadish goes 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:06.840 down with the injury and so he moves inside after 0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:09.960 sixty two snaps at left tackle, final eighteen snaps of 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:13.359 that game at guard. Plays guard in the season finale 0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:17.320 against Washington, first thirty three snaps at left guard. In 0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:20.719 the playoff game against Tampa, Jason Peters goes down and 0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.720 he slides back out to left tackle for thirty six 0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.960 snaps in that game. And now you're going up against 0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:31.520 the top defense in the league and the top sack 0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:33.840 artist in the league and Nick Bosa who at eighteen 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.399 and a half sacks this year, and it's going to 0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:39.359 be on the rookie at left tackle and the future 0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.000 Hall of Famer coming back from his injury, Tyrn Smith 0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:46.480 at right tackle to take care of that pass rush. 0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.760 And they like to use their linebackers too to pressure. 0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.960 Probably one of the reasons Fred Warner has made the 0:25:54.920 --> 0:26:01.040 Pro Bowl team. So, yeah, he's going to play a 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.760 big part in this game if he can hold up 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:06.480 his end of the bargain, you know. And it was 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:10.119 Everson Walls yesterday who was very quick to point out 0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:13.520 the performance of the Cowboys offensive line, and that went 0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:21.359 over Tampa Bay Everson and he's there in picture only, 0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:24.760 picture only, all right. We thought we had ever since 0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:27.399 we had him bring him on in, right, But I 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:31.840 mean that's huge for that offensive line to continue to 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:33.919 play like they did the other night. And now, I 0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.680 mean you can't afford to lose anybody on that offensive line. Yeah, 0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:40.919 from a depth standpoint, right because now the because it 0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:43.840 doesn't look like Peter's going to get back in time, 0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:48.480 so Josh balls your backup offensive tackle. He's the last 0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:52.760 man standing other than maybe Avante Collins, who has played 0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:56.200 in the league, but I think they look at him 0:26:56.359 --> 0:27:00.960 more as an inside guy just in case happens there. 0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:06.239 So yeah, it's it's it's thin, but these guys have 0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:10.200 to play and have a game like they did this 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.600
