Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Bronis, Rob Phillips,
Speaker 1: and Bill Jones to paraphrase, then Cincinnati Bengals head coach
Speaker 1: Sam Weish you don't leave it live in Cleveland, and
Speaker 1: thank god we don't live in Cleveland where it's six
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty days in between wins. But it's victory
Speaker 1: Friday in Cleveland. It's football Friday here at the Star
Speaker 1: in Frisco, and welcome to Talking Cowboys. Y'all ready for
Speaker 1: another football weekend? Absolutely, let's it got started last night
Speaker 1: in a Thursday night football in a big, big way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I listened to Cleveland Sports Talk Radio on my way
Speaker 1: home from my CBS eleven gig last night, and the
Speaker 1: talk show host on Cleveland Sports Talk Radio we're calling
Speaker 1: that one of the greatest sports nights in Cleveland history.
Speaker 1: Never mind any NBA. Yeah they yeah, that's right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's the way we kick off this football
Speaker 1: week Yet you should have seen the scene outside the stadium,
Speaker 1: because you know, you got a walk across that. There's
Speaker 1: a big, huge walkway over the highway from the stadium
Speaker 1: to downtown. There. You couldn't see anything but people. When
Speaker 1: they did the overshot on the postgame, they were channing
Speaker 1: Baker maybe they were all over the place. It was.
Speaker 1: It was almost like they had won a championship. It was.
Speaker 1: It was. I tweeted a gift last night of Bob
Speaker 1: Yucker in the Major League press box jumping them down,
Speaker 1: just going nuts, because that's what it reminded me of.
Speaker 1: It's like they finally did something, you know, the laughing stock.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's turning around for him, Yeah, well he was.
Speaker 1: It was strange because the post game show on NFL
Speaker 1: Network they had Joe Thomas on there. Yeah, and how
Speaker 1: much weight is he lost, by the way, all those
Speaker 1: offensive lines radio and hair too, by the way. We
Speaker 1: can't talk, No, we can't know. But he was coming
Speaker 1: out of his skin. It was giddy. And the lady
Speaker 1: who was the host was coming out of her skin.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was. I thought it was
Speaker 1: you know who they played this week in Oakland? In Oakland? Yeah, yes, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm Brian's looking on can they keep this up?
Speaker 1: You know you think about in hey, very passionate football
Speaker 1: fans in Cleveland, and yeah you should be happy for them,
Speaker 1: but okay, can you can you sustain this? Night? One?
Speaker 1: One and one? Now? And Pittsburgh off their feet? Should
Speaker 1: have beat Pittsburgh and the opener and then the Saints
Speaker 1: last week, and they finally watched Pittsburgh convinced that exactly
Speaker 1: that Baker Mayfield's their starting quarterback. He gives them a
Speaker 1: chance to win. That's all John Dorsey was looking for here,
Speaker 1: John John talked, waited so long? Well, no, you would
Speaker 1: have made up a reason why they should never played
Speaker 1: him because he's a young guy, or no, absolutely not,
Speaker 1: but oh we shall always play young quarterbacks. I didn't
Speaker 1: say that they should have played him over what they
Speaker 1: had if they were going to make him the first
Speaker 1: two weeks in the season, three weeks in the season. Again,
Speaker 1: him is Mickey sounds. I have to agree with him,
Speaker 1: thank you. It is it. Should they played him in
Speaker 1: week one? Should they have drafted him first? I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have drafted him first. I would have Okay, here's the
Speaker 1: of course, this this is the narrative that we've learned
Speaker 1: over these years. Yes, yeah, when things kind of roll
Speaker 1: the right way, let's see what happens in the next
Speaker 1: couple of problem. I said it, when they draft Mickey,
Speaker 1: you're not drafting a six foot quarterback first. He might
Speaker 1: be six foot, but you're not drafting a six foot
Speaker 1: call I will say this. I was saying I would
Speaker 1: have drafted him, but I, of course in prejudice because
Speaker 1: I'm an ou you did. You picked him when you
Speaker 1: and I did the mock draft. You picked him first,
Speaker 1: and I thought, actually I thought all along that Cleveland
Speaker 1: would pick him number one overall once they reviewed everything
Speaker 1: they were looking to change, and the only was the
Speaker 1: comparisons to Manziel. In my opinion, Oh my god, he
Speaker 1: is so Johnny it's not even funny. Well, he is
Speaker 1: in the Tony in the in the on the broadcast,
Speaker 1: and I can see that, but just the dynamic, that
Speaker 1: kind of just the wild wildness to his game reminds
Speaker 1: me of Johnny. Maybe it is he can make the throws, though,
Speaker 1: I mean he is. I mean there's a lot of
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Johnny Manzill's college career, sure, you know,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, and then I take it back
Speaker 1: and relate it to the Cowboys and what Mayfield brought
Speaker 1: to that Cleveland team last night when he came in
Speaker 1: the game, especially when you compare with what was going
Speaker 1: on with Tyrod Taylor in the first half of that game.
Speaker 1: There was a tempo and an energy. He used to
Speaker 1: play in that way exactly right, And I think that
Speaker 1: this Cowboys team needs to kind of play that way
Speaker 1: a lot of times. I'm not saying that necessarily. I
Speaker 1: think they would like to play that way as far
Speaker 1: as being able to throw the football down the field
Speaker 1: and stuff. Now he takes a lot more and he's
Speaker 1: gonna have horrible games in it's May in Oakland. In
Speaker 1: ten days from now, he's gonna have four picked games.
Speaker 1: And he is unlike Dak Prescott in that regard because
Speaker 1: his whole thing is taking care of the football and everything.
Speaker 1: But I think when the Cowboys play with tempo, and
Speaker 1: I'm talking on defense to the speed that the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have on defense, and when you look at that Cleveland
Speaker 1: team and what they've done in acquiring players, they've got
Speaker 1: a young team that has a lot of speed on defense. Now,
Speaker 1: I think that there's some comparisons there, and I think
Speaker 1: that's the way that the Cowboys, and I think in
Speaker 1: this league that's the way you need to play to
Speaker 1: win now is getting as much speed as you can
Speaker 1: on the field, And I don't know, you take control
Speaker 1: of the football game that way. We've seen both both guys.
Speaker 1: Everyboy's seen both guys. Now, who would you rather have
Speaker 1: him or Mahomes? I would leave. I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: talking about big twelve guys, I would lean towards Mahomes
Speaker 1: just the size, bigger quarterbacks, less, less limitations. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I've thought Baker I didn't see much of Donald R.
Speaker 1: Kingsbury had the same decision to make about five or
Speaker 1: six years ago. And that just shows you. That just
Speaker 1: shows you that guys are supposedly no quarterbacks, don't no quarterbacks?
Speaker 1: Well no, I mean, I mean he had yeah, he
Speaker 1: did well, Cliff had Manzelf, Well, he had David's Webb. Yeah,
Speaker 1: got rid of him as at the same time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Mayfield was a walk on and he wound up
Speaker 1: starting eventually in that true freshman season at Texas Rick
Speaker 1: And that's why I was upset at the end of
Speaker 1: the year when they didn't didn't give him a scholarship
Speaker 1: why he transferred. But I don't think you can be
Speaker 1: critical of Kingsbury if your choice is Mahome. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you look at the talent that Mahomes he has, uh,
Speaker 1: the intangibles that Mayfield has, it's far he you know,
Speaker 1: he's just he's a he's a guy. That leadership intangibles
Speaker 1: is that he has as far as you know, he
Speaker 1: brings to the table a lot, as far as getting
Speaker 1: a team loaded up on his back and hey, we're
Speaker 1: going to win this game. And if you had watched
Speaker 1: the postgame show, you wouldn't compare him to Manzel. Why
Speaker 1: because Manzel would have made it all about himself. And
Speaker 1: I thought Baker did a nice job of making it
Speaker 1: about the team multiple games for Cleveland, by the way,
Speaker 1: and and he and he handled himself really well when
Speaker 1: everybody else on the set was so giddy and beside themselves,
Speaker 1: including Reggie Bush and Michael Irvin. Uh, he was the
Speaker 1: calming factor on there. And I thought that was a
Speaker 1: very mature thing. He's a smart guy too. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's he's had his incidents obviously off the field, you know,
Speaker 1: college kid incidents and stuff like that that out of
Speaker 1: the good ones have yeah yeah, yeah yeah, um, and
Speaker 1: I need to keep him out of Arkansas, right, They'll
Speaker 1: try to keep him out of Fayetville, Yeah, Vietnam. But anyway,
Speaker 1: um yeah. And from a leadership standboy, you look at
Speaker 1: this quarterback here and and um Dak plays with a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence. And I think that it's uh something
Speaker 1: that energizes a team. And you know when a great
Speaker 1: example of us last November, when this team played as
Speaker 1: had as horrible a three game stretch as the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have ever had, uh, and he kept the faith, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think that's why they were able to finish
Speaker 1: somewhat strongly. You know. In turn, think you're onto something
Speaker 1: though about playing with pace. Yeah, we've talked about it
Speaker 1: here before. You know, if you do, and we call
Speaker 1: it a college attack, or at least I do, if
Speaker 1: you if you have you played to his strengths. I
Speaker 1: think that's what huge Hugh Jackson, the we're gonna learn
Speaker 1: leveland you got to play to his strengths, whatever that is,
Speaker 1: moving them around the pocket or letting him make throws
Speaker 1: however you want to do it. But that's how you
Speaker 1: get your quarterbacks going. That's how you get your offensive
Speaker 1: go to go. You find a way to play to
Speaker 1: these guys' strengths, and if it means having to play
Speaker 1: it a little bit faster pace, trust him. He's going
Speaker 1: to go make some plays for you this quarterback. And
Speaker 1: if that's a you know, if that's the way you
Speaker 1: have to win games, I'm all for that. Hey, remember
Speaker 1: taking it to Seattle. Remember the preseason game where when
Speaker 1: Romo got hurt and that became the starting quarterback. And
Speaker 1: remember Zeke in that game, how he took it to
Speaker 1: the legion of Boom. I mean, I think a great
Speaker 1: collision with him and Cam Chance act and he he
Speaker 1: was a leader in that respect the way, and that
Speaker 1: was a meaningless preseason game, okay, but I think that
Speaker 1: set the tone for that entire season, just the attitude
Speaker 1: that Zeke had against that established veteran defense and Tho
Speaker 1: took it to him, and that that's the attitude they
Speaker 1: need to have when they go up there. It's a
Speaker 1: totally different Seattle team than what they faced before, but
Speaker 1: in that atmosphere that's gonna They're gonna be playing in
Speaker 1: a home opener for the Seahawks on and it's a desperate,
Speaker 1: you know, wounded tiger. That they got to have that
Speaker 1: same attitude when they go up there on Sunday. Those
Speaker 1: guys wanted to welcome the rookie to the NFL that exactly,
Speaker 1: and he knew it was up to the challenge. He
Speaker 1: knew it was coming. Yeah, he need He's one of
Speaker 1: my keys to the game, Brian. I think they got
Speaker 1: to get him going somehow to try to take the
Speaker 1: crowd out of it. But you mentioned pace. I'm with
Speaker 1: you there, and like with Mayfield that I don't watch
Speaker 1: as much Oklahoma football as you do, but it seemed
Speaker 1: like that reminded me of the Oklahoma offense when he
Speaker 1: was in there. Defensively talked about speed. We talked to
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli yesterday. He said, this is the fastest defense
Speaker 1: he's had in Dallas. Just the overall team speed on defense.
Speaker 1: And I think that's he didn't go as far as
Speaker 1: to say Chicago or Tampa Bay where he's been. Now
Speaker 1: that was those were championship level defenses. But that side
Speaker 1: of the ball too. There they are flying around and
Speaker 1: that's another thing they're gonna have to be able to
Speaker 1: do that. Team speed is critical to stopping Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: on who asked a question to him about if he
Speaker 1: was calling defenses. I don't remember. Get asked a couple
Speaker 1: of different times. It was at early. It might it
Speaker 1: might have been taught. Arch Gut asked late. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was several times. Do you worry about Chris Rashard
Speaker 1: doing too much in this game? Um? No, because I
Speaker 1: think he's he's already done this the first couple you
Speaker 1: talked about the speed and all that you know and things.
Speaker 1: I mean, does he does he don't calling the game.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he has carte blanche treatment. I
Speaker 1: think that the way Rod was talking, it was almost
Speaker 1: like suggested the head coach telling the offensive coordinator. Okay, look,
Speaker 1: let's not I'm sorry I missed that. That was let's
Speaker 1: dive into that. Were you there when this was discussed Marinelli,
Speaker 1: both of us, Okay, so that's a good job of
Speaker 1: being there though. Yeah, that's right. And because that was
Speaker 1: the story that came out of yesterday, I mean, if
Speaker 1: you were watching the TV tape, especially the TV copy
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, it was obvious that Richard was heavily involved.
Speaker 1: If you were not, they didn't see the sideline shots.
Speaker 1: It was obvious that Richard was heavily involved just seeing
Speaker 1: what they were doing defensively. Yeah, the amount of blitzing
Speaker 1: they you know, and the other thing. And I was
Speaker 1: talking with Rod when we walked off. You know, it's
Speaker 1: one thing to blitz, it's another thing to get there.
Speaker 1: This team has blitzed previously and they don't get there.
Speaker 1: They didn't have guys that knew how to dry. These
Speaker 1: linebackers are better at it. The guys coming off the
Speaker 1: edge are better than it. Because before I remember seeing
Speaker 1: them blitz and they'd get picked up and they did
Speaker 1: sit there and do the little bear dances. And now
Speaker 1: they're actually getting there and and the scheme is getting
Speaker 1: there also, So it looks like they're blitzing more when
Speaker 1: you're having success. But yeah, I thought Rod was really
Speaker 1: good when he explained it. He goes, Hey, the thing
Speaker 1: about what goes on around here as team, and we're
Speaker 1: a team, and I don't need all the all the praise,
Speaker 1: all the glory. It's like, if he's doing it and
Speaker 1: he's got the hot hand, he's gonna go. But he
Speaker 1: also said that, you know, I'll be in his ear,
Speaker 1: and it's like, don't forget this or think about that,
Speaker 1: and and I thought it was a you know, it
Speaker 1: sounds like it's they've got a good coordination going. Now
Speaker 1: can I ask another question? Yeah, would it be to
Speaker 1: their advantage to have him call primarily call the defenses
Speaker 1: in this game? Well, that's what I was no one.
Speaker 1: And now the problem is, Brian Schottenheimer is not Darryl Bevila,
Speaker 1: so you know he has so he I don't know
Speaker 1: if he has a lot of relationship with Brian Schottenheimer,
Speaker 1: but if he, if it was Darryl bevil standing over
Speaker 1: on the other sidelines, I think he could probably understand
Speaker 1: how Darryl might call a game. Yeah, and just his knowledge,
Speaker 1: he's been around Russell Wilson for six seven years now.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson hasn't caught on with this offense yet. That's
Speaker 1: been a big problem. You know. I think that the
Speaker 1: benefit of of his knowledge of the Seahawks is he
Speaker 1: knows the first personnel that intimately, it's not like you
Speaker 1: got to watch it on tape, right. I know what
Speaker 1: this guy can do. I know what this guy's good point,
Speaker 1: this is our good point, and he'll be able to
Speaker 1: I think exploit that a little bit and probably help
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. You know, somebody asked Dak
Speaker 1: how much does he helped you? And it was like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, he'll he'll say a few things, but he goes.
Speaker 1: You know, we watch tape and we see what you
Speaker 1: gotta see. But well, he's been a lot of time,
Speaker 1: really good. I took him through every single play that
Speaker 1: they've played him in the last few years. In fact,
Speaker 1: it was like Sean mcvaylike, wasn't it. Yes, recall, apparently
Speaker 1: we have we have someone else. We have discovered that
Speaker 1: Chris Richard, who can remember every play of every single
Speaker 1: game he's been involved with in his life. Well, it's
Speaker 1: as coordinators, you always know what works and what doesn't work.
Speaker 1: You remember, like you say, you try and forget the
Speaker 1: ones that didn't. But in a game like this, yeah,
Speaker 1: if I'm Scott Linahan, I'm I'm taking him to dinner
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, listen, okay, I've got these thoughts. Tell
Speaker 1: me if this is gonna work. If I was cording,
Speaker 1: if you, if I was battling you with this, work
Speaker 1: against what you think that they're going to try and do.
Speaker 1: And he because he knows Ken Norton. I mean he's
Speaker 1: worked with Ken Norton before, so Ken Norton, that is
Speaker 1: that is a familiarity he does have, right, So you
Speaker 1: know that's something that's worthwhile to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: But now does Pete Carroll know him? Right? If now
Speaker 1: it's revealed that Chris Roshard is the one calling the defenses,
Speaker 1: calling the shots, now, oh we know exactly what he
Speaker 1: wants to do. Yeah, but like right, they have an
Speaker 1: offensive line they can handle it. Yeah, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are absolutely terrible. There's these are two teams
Speaker 1: that are terrible on third down playing against each other,
Speaker 1: by the way, I think Dallas is at twenty three
Speaker 1: percent or so in Seattle's at twenty eight. So we
Speaker 1: always it's very clicheic to say it's gonna come down
Speaker 1: to plow you play on third down, But what defense
Speaker 1: can force the other one to get off the field.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's been terrible and third down. I think he's
Speaker 1: only six or seven to seventeen throwing the ball, and
Speaker 1: he's like two of six on third downs with like
Speaker 1: distance of three yards, three to seven yards. So you know,
Speaker 1: how do you get him in third down situations, if
Speaker 1: they're having as much problems as they're having a lot
Speaker 1: of the blitz as we've seen from the Cowboys have
Speaker 1: come on third down and they've been successful. That's one
Speaker 1: reason they've been able to get off the field. So
Speaker 1: that they do more of that in this game. It
Speaker 1: might just depend on the matchups we'll see, But I
Speaker 1: do like, uh, you know the other thing about that, right,
Speaker 1: Mickey Dallas is twenty three percent, Yeah, and they're twenty
Speaker 1: eight percent. I think that's I just want to make
Speaker 1: sure I was right. Yeah, I want to make sure
Speaker 1: I was right. I knew you were gonna look me up. No, No,
Speaker 1: I knew you. I knew you were gonna do it.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that that's teamwork, right there, Teams anything, accy.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be accurate here, you know. But on
Speaker 1: the subject though, of defensive coordinator, pass game coordinator, game plan,
Speaker 1: so forth, there's so much more that goes into it
Speaker 1: during a given week than then who's calling the shots
Speaker 1: on players too. Yeah, that's exactly right. And I think
Speaker 1: that a lot of a lot of fans who are
Speaker 1: casual fans out there don't understand that the responsibilities even
Speaker 1: that position coaches have on a staff, the important responsibilities
Speaker 1: that they have and that they are given, they are
Speaker 1: expected to do a lot and so I think, you know,
Speaker 1: people will make a lot about okay, who who the
Speaker 1: play caller is, but there's so much more that goes
Speaker 1: into it than that. Well, and it's all a lot
Speaker 1: of that's pre planned, right, Yeah, there's a reason why
Speaker 1: they carry that sheet with them that that's that's not
Speaker 1: a sheet of one hundred and fifty plays and it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: let me pick this one. You know, they've got their
Speaker 1: tendencies and what they want to do on situations, and
Speaker 1: here's the choice of plays that we think will work
Speaker 1: in this situation, and so that it's all planned out
Speaker 1: ahead of time. And Matt Eberflus did some of this
Speaker 1: for Rod in recent years too, but Rod acknowledge this
Speaker 1: is more on Shard's plate than maybe Matt had in
Speaker 1: the past. And I think a lot of it too
Speaker 1: has to come back to just overall. They have such
Speaker 1: a similar philosophy on how they believe in defense should
Speaker 1: be played, and it goes back to just their own
Speaker 1: coaching trees essentially. You know, Richard kind of came from
Speaker 1: the same style as Rod. So I think there's just
Speaker 1: a comfort level there with Rod. Pete Carroll was with
Speaker 1: Marinelli and Monty Kiff and that's where he learned there.
Speaker 1: It is all the way back to Pacific when they
Speaker 1: were Yeah, so it's a long way. I mean, the
Speaker 1: branches are intertwined in a lot of different ways. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: we will continue here on Talking Cowboys. There's a Terrence
Speaker 1: Williams report out there as well, and of course we

Speaker 1: Help me out, producer three twenty five kickoffs. It'll probably
Speaker 1: about two o'clock. Yeah, yeah, we'll be out at two
Speaker 1: ten outside outside. Yeah. That's why you kind of confused me,
Speaker 1: because I thought maybe you knew something I didn't know. Bill,
Speaker 1: we're outside. Yesterday I was outside and we had our
Speaker 1: high school show, Friday Night Stars, which airs at six
Speaker 1: thirty to seven o'clock on Thursday night. Friday Night Stars
Speaker 1: on Thursday night and in pre right, previews of high
Speaker 1: school football weekend and the rain. We just beat the rain.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean we were there from six thirty
Speaker 1: to seven, and this dark, ominous law was approaching Tostito's
Speaker 1: championship plaza just as we were signing off, and I
Speaker 1: and of course the crew had to but Bill said,
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of get going here, talent leaving set.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And so by seven seven o'clock in
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, I always in my truck beating that raid.
Speaker 1: So very good. But that's every Thursday night we're out there,
Speaker 1: weather permitting. All right. David Moore than Dallas Morning News
Speaker 1: has the report today about Terrence Williams and a looming suspension.
Speaker 1: What do you make of this? I think David Moore's
Speaker 1: late to the party. I don't but we don't know, right,
Speaker 1: we don't know. We official, nothing official, but we you know,
Speaker 1: when David Moore usually prints something, it always kinds of
Speaker 1: worries me a little bit. But but to me, we
Speaker 1: talked about it as a potential. Again, nothing official yet,
Speaker 1: but I think it was you know, to me, they
Speaker 1: talk about competition and all that stuff, and I think
Speaker 1: it's more about protecting himself. If in fact that is
Speaker 1: the case. Yeah, if something does happen, then it puts
Speaker 1: the Bryce Butler signing in much clearer focus then, because
Speaker 1: I mean we were debating early part of the week,
Speaker 1: like on Sunday when the news came out that okay,
Speaker 1: that they're thinking about signing Bryce Butler. You're wondering, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: how many wide receivers is this now? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've already been talking about thirteen wide receivers on the roster,
Speaker 1: and something's got to be up. We've already been talking
Speaker 1: about six as it is, and how you disperse these snaps,
Speaker 1: and I don't think they've figured that out yet. Even so, now,
Speaker 1: if you've got seven active Sunday, somebody's gonna have to
Speaker 1: be inactive. We'll figure out who it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: basically on the injury report yesterday. Right, here's that too limited?
Speaker 1: Don't you think it's gonna be Butler? If everybody's healthy,
Speaker 1: I would think If everybody's healthy, yes, based on Bryce
Speaker 1: just getting here, I would think so, you would think, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's you know, Cole. It must have happened
Speaker 1: during practice because he was out there for the early part, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't on the report on Wednesday, so, but he
Speaker 1: was in the locker room yesterday. Now at that time,
Speaker 1: we didn't know what was going on. I didn't notice
Speaker 1: anything different about him, So no raps or anything like that.
Speaker 1: I wasn't looking real close, but I don't. I don't think.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to go around and tell everybody
Speaker 1: stand up. Yeah, maybe we'll do that. See anything wrong,
Speaker 1: any noticeable limps? No, and Sean Lee limited in practice,
Speaker 1: but he says he's gonna play Sunday. That was a
Speaker 1: step in the right direction because he went from DMP
Speaker 1: to limited and he said he's playing. So I think
Speaker 1: the intense there now we got to see. And he
Speaker 1: still describes it as a cramp in his hamstring. He
Speaker 1: was asked is it a hamstring or cramping? And he said,
Speaker 1: it's cramping in my hamstring. Is that possible medically? I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, your your hamstring can cramp up,
Speaker 1: can't it. Well you never got cramps in your hamstring.
Speaker 1: I've never had a hamstring problem, never, never, like even
Speaker 1: like way of all people, mister injury man, I've never
Speaker 1: had like waking up in the waking up in the middle.
Speaker 1: Have you never woke up the middle of night and
Speaker 1: grabbed your hamstring because it craff always my calf strings? Oh, calves,
Speaker 1: that's because I got some hamstrings. Yeah, so yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't say that I've done a lot of that sprinting.
Speaker 1: I haven't done a lot of sprinting in my life,
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking that my hamstrings aren't very well developed.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm the cramp in your string. I got the
Speaker 1: largest calves in America. You do you have candle up cass. Oh,
Speaker 1: they are unbelievable. I have three hundred fifty pound offensive
Speaker 1: lineman calves. Really do I've noticed that about you, Bill,
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked. If Sean doesn't play right. I think
Speaker 1: he's I mean, I think they've probably been pretty deliberate
Speaker 1: with him so far in practice. I think he's helping
Speaker 1: on playing in this game, and maybe they don't say, Okay,
Speaker 1: you got to play all sixty seven plays and they've
Speaker 1: been rotating those guys anyway. You know, we got I
Speaker 1: got tweets during the game and why is Sean outen?
Speaker 1: That was I think before the hamstring first couple of games.
Speaker 1: They will take him out for a series. They did
Speaker 1: against the Panthers too. Just be very judicious when you
Speaker 1: do it, you know. I would just like to keep
Speaker 1: talking about Sean Lee because I love what in the
Speaker 1: video of Sean Lee playing. There to a showing right
Speaker 1: now on the advantage of watching talking cowboys on the
Speaker 1: On the video side, if he's listening to it, Bill's
Speaker 1: describing Sean Lee making all kinds of tackles here right
Speaker 1: device at home. There, there you go, Kate Garrison making
Speaker 1: the magic hat. Oh, now we're back to us, because
Speaker 1: that all right? Well, does that beg the questions team
Speaker 1: is better off? Can they survive without playing without Sean
Speaker 1: couldn't last year? I think last year better equipped? Maybe
Speaker 1: better equipped? Probably a bad word dance, you wouldn't prefer it.
Speaker 1: But I think the way Jalen has progressed. And Layton,
Speaker 1: I think he's played pretty well the first couple of games.
Speaker 1: After reviewing coaches film, what do you think of Layton
Speaker 1: Vanders Layton Vanders playing the other day? I think that
Speaker 1: the thing with Layton vanderss you're always going to get
Speaker 1: is you're gonna get a guy that's he's got the size,
Speaker 1: he's got the athletic ability, he's got the ability to finish.
Speaker 1: When he gets around the ball, he can finish. He
Speaker 1: could be a physical tackler. What's surprising about him as
Speaker 1: though in college when he was not getting off blocks
Speaker 1: well enough, but he was. He had some nice plays
Speaker 1: where he had to get to the outside, where he
Speaker 1: had to run, where he had to put himself in position,
Speaker 1: and so it wasn't I didn't think it was, you know,
Speaker 1: anything where I was going, my gosh, I mean, he's
Speaker 1: a liability, but no, he's They drafted him nineteenth overall
Speaker 1: for a reason, you know, and I feel like the
Speaker 1: more they get him involved, the better he might play.
Speaker 1: So I'm all four. If they can get him out
Speaker 1: there and let him get some work, he's probably gonna
Speaker 1: make him mistake or two, just like Connor Williams does.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you talk about him, Dorrance Armstrong,
Speaker 1: Connor Wins, I mean, they've got some guys. To Mickey's point, yo,
Speaker 1: go out there and play some young players. Yeah a
Speaker 1: looks played a lot for a young wide receiver so far.
Speaker 1: So I think I think what makes it better it
Speaker 1: was what Rob said about Jalen Smith. He's not a
Speaker 1: liability having to play fifty plays like he was last year,
Speaker 1: because look, Hitchens was bad, right, and he hasn't been
Speaker 1: bad for Kansas City. Yeah, but but but I think
Speaker 1: it was you got diminishing returns without Lee in there
Speaker 1: and his leadership, and then Jalen struggling a little bit,
Speaker 1: and you know, and and it always seemed like Damian
Speaker 1: Wilson was lost when Lee wasn't in there. When he
Speaker 1: was in there, he played well. But by the way,
Speaker 1: I think he's played pretty well too. And then you
Speaker 1: got Joe Thomas you add to the mix, and so
Speaker 1: they they've got a deeper linebacker corps. They can do
Speaker 1: versatile things more so than all Right, I got three
Speaker 1: or four of these guys, and you know, the other
Speaker 1: guys play special teams and these guys can. So do
Speaker 1: you think that even if Lee wasn't having these hamstring
Speaker 1: issues that they would be taking him off the field anyway?
Speaker 1: In order they did? I know they didn't Week one,
Speaker 1: and I but I kind of get making you. They've
Speaker 1: had him in bubble rep at the beginning of training camp,
Speaker 1: you know, and then I think that they were being
Speaker 1: just guarded and judicious is the word you use, Yes,
Speaker 1: And that's the correct word. You know, I let's let's
Speaker 1: be honest. Sean Lee's now in his thirties, you know,
Speaker 1: and there's a history there and it's a shame that
Speaker 1: he is. One day they're going to look up and say, man,
Speaker 1: what a really great football player and then the next
Speaker 1: word out of Rob Phillips, Phillips mouth over concrete, cowboy
Speaker 1: is gonna be. But Brian, he never could stay healthy.
Speaker 1: He never could stay healthy, and so you have to
Speaker 1: think about that, and it's a shame too. It almost
Speaker 1: it's like it handicaps your ability. You want him out
Speaker 1: there every single play, But how did he get hurt?
Speaker 1: In the Atlanta game, he was chasing the ball and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he pulls up and you're like, going,
Speaker 1: it's weird because he got pushed from behind, but he's chasing,
Speaker 1: like and he just kind of grabs and you're going,
Speaker 1: but he's such a tightly wound player, you know, low body, fat,
Speaker 1: really knows his body knows is But it's to the
Speaker 1: point where almost it's like it handicaps him, and it
Speaker 1: handicaps the coaches that they he just can't you know,
Speaker 1: you can't say yeah, you can't say okay, he could
Speaker 1: play sixty five plays. He could play fifty plays and
Speaker 1: it'll be the best fifty plays you had on defense
Speaker 1: all night. And get those fifty plays for hopefully sixteen
Speaker 1: games as opposed to and it hasn't happened. It hasn't happened.
Speaker 1: And at the same time, when he's not in there,
Speaker 1: then you are preparing someone in his place. Looks like
Speaker 1: they finally got some players that can step up when
Speaker 1: you do take him off the field, and they're better
Speaker 1: prepared to fill in for him if he does go
Speaker 1: down with an injury because they've already been in the mix.
Speaker 1: So I think it goes back probably to their meetings
Speaker 1: early in the off season coming out of last season,
Speaker 1: that that their personnel meetings, they made the decision that
Speaker 1: we have got to get more depth and better depth
Speaker 1: at the linebacker position because this is the way we
Speaker 1: need to handle Sean Lee. Now at his A Smith Covington.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're drafting Justin March, Lillard, Joe Tomas,
Speaker 1: and they went out, they went out and got some linebackers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's one position that they look like they've really helped
Speaker 1: himself in the offseason and now Jalen too It's like
Speaker 1: I wrote about this week, the play he had, and
Speaker 1: everybody talks about the hit on Eli, which was tremendous,
Speaker 1: but late in the game, deep shot by Manning to
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham and he is turning and taking an angle
Speaker 1: and at a dead sprint helping break up that pass
Speaker 1: on maybe the best wide receiver and one of the
Speaker 1: best wide receivers in the game. That's a different player
Speaker 1: than we saw last year. I mean, we talked last
Speaker 1: year about how he's better maybe going forward because coming
Speaker 1: off the injury, the change of direction, he's still working
Speaker 1: back into that. He's a different guy. He's a different
Speaker 1: guy this year and that only helps the group. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to your phone calls. Let's go to Tim
Speaker 1: in New York. You're up, I'm talking Cowboys. Hello, Tim, Hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call first and brought us. You're
Speaker 1: them in any show. You're I got a question for you, Um,
Speaker 1: should we leave running more twinning? One person? And let
Speaker 1: me tell you a reason to say that. We're having
Speaker 1: trouble getting to the middle linebackers. As we know, and
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Looney's doing a good job, but he's
Speaker 1: just not a guy that can get their way that
Speaker 1: Trevis Frederick could and or divide the defense like you
Speaker 1: always say, split the defense. Yeah, so should we be
Speaker 1: using the fullback more to try to dig out that linebacker? Well,
Speaker 1: that's a good question. And you know, but if you
Speaker 1: had a fullback that can go in there and dig
Speaker 1: out the linebacker and let's I'm not going to put
Speaker 1: it all on Joe Looney, for there are some of
Speaker 1: the problems they're having with the mic linebacker or getting
Speaker 1: to a linebacker, because there's been some times where Zack
Speaker 1: Martin's got held up, Joe's got held up, Connor Williams
Speaker 1: has got held up, and then you mentioned when they've
Speaker 1: got into some twenty one personnel stuff. Oli Wally has
Speaker 1: not done a great job with that. I mean, his
Speaker 1: indecision hurts, I think, and he's trying to search and
Speaker 1: find the right guy. Sometimes you need a guy that's
Speaker 1: just going to go in there and whatever the first
Speaker 1: color he sees, he blasts and then you go from there.
Speaker 1: So I as much as I thought that Old wall
Speaker 1: I think Old the Walley is a better special teams
Speaker 1: player than Keith Smith. I don't think he's a better,
Speaker 1: better point of attack blocker. And so to your point,
Speaker 1: I would say, no, I wouldn't play more twenty one personnel.
Speaker 1: But what I would try and do is I would say, Okay,
Speaker 1: we need to find a way. Let's let's let's get
Speaker 1: the guy the second level. I mean, I know the
Speaker 1: intense there, but let's not okay, let's not just be
Speaker 1: right on securing the down lineman and then letting that
Speaker 1: guy run free. Let's hit him, hit the down lineman,
Speaker 1: pass him off, and then get to the second level
Speaker 1: if we can. I think it's more of a scheme
Speaker 1: a scheme change, than it really is a personnel change. Now,
Speaker 1: have I maybe I'm making this up, and because I
Speaker 1: had to watch the first game on TV, but it
Speaker 1: looked like not a lot, but a couple of plays.
Speaker 1: Have they used an h BAC like one of them?
Speaker 1: Yeah they used they used Shultz, right, Yeah, they use Shultz,
Speaker 1: but Schultz is not again, that's they don't have they
Speaker 1: don't they don't have a guy. And and God bless
Speaker 1: Ola Wally. And seriously, I mean Ola Wally. One of
Speaker 1: the reasons why you have three running backs is because
Speaker 1: Ola Wally can play as a single back, hen be
Speaker 1: a tailback and he's not. He's and I used to
Speaker 1: term it's a scouting term called a glass eater. You know,
Speaker 1: these guys, they're just tough, grinding out guy. I think
Speaker 1: Keith Smith was that. Keith Smith would just throw his
Speaker 1: body in there and whatever the first bit of cloth
Speaker 1: he saw he was hitting. And Oli Wally is a
Speaker 1: little bit of a feel move feel, and you know,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that helps Zeke. I don't think
Speaker 1: that helps Zeke at all because Zeke wants to take
Speaker 1: it and go. He doesn't need somebody in front of
Speaker 1: him with its indecision. There's a couple of cuts that
Speaker 1: Zeke made and I'll just give you example a couple
Speaker 1: of cuts in the game where even and this is
Speaker 1: where when lineman even get turned a little bit, Zeke
Speaker 1: takes a ball when he feels like a lineman has
Speaker 1: cut some off, he'll take it that way where the
Speaker 1: lineman was in bad position. And if he would have
Speaker 1: stayed the path he was on, he would have it
Speaker 1: would have probably been a better game. But because the
Speaker 1: contact point of the lineman was off, it threw him off.
Speaker 1: That's just the way he plays with vision. So you know,
Speaker 1: any indecision in front of him is not good. And
Speaker 1: I think we get that with Ola Wally. Time to
Speaker 1: get Antoine Woods ready full back. But that's kind of
Speaker 1: a college idea, Yeah it is. I mean, like I
Speaker 1: was thinking, a body type really kind of the only
Speaker 1: one that kind of fits with you, you know, because
Speaker 1: and he's just foolish enough to stick his head in there.
Speaker 1: You know what, he gets off the ball quick. I mean,
Speaker 1: I like what you're saying. I just and and to
Speaker 1: your point is absolutely right. Mickey's trying to tell you,
Speaker 1: and it's the right way. Give me somebody that doesn't
Speaker 1: give a damn and it's gonna run as hard as
Speaker 1: he can inside and hit somebody. He's out, he's available
Speaker 1: right now? Is this this guy, the big tight end
Speaker 1: guy from Oklahoma back in the day, Blake Bell Bell Dozer.
Speaker 1: No not. I like him and my daughter's great friends,
Speaker 1: his wife. And now what's he doing now? Is he's
Speaker 1: in Norman, Oklahoma? Yeah, I mean he's out. Oh he's
Speaker 1: out and doing nothing. Okay, right, I thought that's who
Speaker 1: you were gonna go without. No, but it's another o.
Speaker 1: You gut Aaron Ripkowski who was with Green Bay and
Speaker 1: I was just looking at him up he is that
Speaker 1: big Bronco Nagurski bruising. Yeah, he's the guy with no
Speaker 1: face mask and slamming it. See. I haven't watched him
Speaker 1: that closely enough, but that's the way it was used
Speaker 1: at OU. But but see, okay, now you're gonna go
Speaker 1: for the special team's aspect. And that's the thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, even if there is a guy like that
Speaker 1: out there that they want to bring in, they have
Speaker 1: no spot for him unless you're cutting well. To me,
Speaker 1: the ultimate the ultimate thought would be to use the
Speaker 1: guy doesn't play special teams. But if somehow you could
Speaker 1: train Rico gathers into playing, yes, that back and if
Speaker 1: you his body is big enough to just go in
Speaker 1: there and maul somebody. But the problem is though will
Speaker 1: he will? He be hesitant too? Is he willing? And
Speaker 1: he's he willing? That's that's Repkowski has that. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is a guy that runs into a wall six or
Speaker 1: seven times again. I remember him well from Green Bay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and in fact, he actually carried the ball in a
Speaker 1: couple of games. Oh no, they hand the inside a
Speaker 1: quickle inside handoff. I was surprised that they cut him.
Speaker 1: I am here for a six eight fullback. I am
Speaker 1: here for that. I'm just see him for I've never
Speaker 1: seen that. I mean because actually yeah, but he Nicky
Speaker 1: brought up a good point. Could you could you use
Speaker 1: an eight I know what you're saying, and he's back,
Speaker 1: and I mean because type yeah, you know that the giants,
Speaker 1: I mean one thing, a true fullback. You want a
Speaker 1: guy with a low center of gravity. And Schultz is
Speaker 1: for that guy than in the other tight ends at
Speaker 1: the Cowboy. Yeah, but Schultz has got a little bit
Speaker 1: of apprehension about him as well. I mean that's the problem.
Speaker 1: Keith Smith didn't care, you know, he really didn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was like he was. He would get on the
Speaker 1: path and he would just run until he until he'd
Speaker 1: hit somebody. You know, it didn't matter what his own guys,
Speaker 1: but you need that kind of player. If to the
Speaker 1: to the caller's question, if yeah, he's got the right idea.
Speaker 1: If you can't get to the full, if you can't
Speaker 1: get to the mic linebacker, use twenty one personal. But
Speaker 1: do you have these you have that person. I never
Speaker 1: thought we'd talked ten minutes, twelve minutes, twenty one person.
Speaker 1: But but that's because most people are saying, oh, just
Speaker 1: spread them out. That's right. Steven Whitton was saying, say
Speaker 1: once again, they missed James Hannah. That's you know, that's
Speaker 1: why we're talking about this, right. There's there's players and
Speaker 1: there's another Oklahoma guy by the way, Bill. There's players.
Speaker 1: There's players that that you don't when they leave, you're
Speaker 1: like going, god, well, there are people that were always
Speaker 1: like stunt man. You know, okay, you know, bringing the
Speaker 1: stunt man. You know, okay, we're not gonna get Bill
Speaker 1: Jones injured. We're gonna put Brian broad Us in there
Speaker 1: and let him get injured. You know that's yeah, stuntman,
Speaker 1: get in stuntman and in boom. He goes in there
Speaker 1: and gets destroyed. But the game is for twelve yards
Speaker 1: and Zeke and everybody, and he's he's giving it the
Speaker 1: eat signal, and James Hannah is like wobbling to the
Speaker 1: sideline right and then and then and then three plays later, stuntman.
Speaker 1: And then James Hannah gets back in there and does
Speaker 1: a stuntman move. And I was just looking at Ripkowski.
Speaker 1: He was battling a back injury last year, which is
Speaker 1: probably he was a stuntman. Yeah, and probably the packers cutting.
Speaker 1: Probably all right. We continue on talking Cowboys, and we've

Speaker 1: one more question on that. Do y'all shave in the shower?
Speaker 1: At the shower? It's a shower hard on the water bill,
Speaker 1: but shower shower. Yeah, you have a mirror, bush, No,
Speaker 1: I've mastered the I don't. I don't have a mirror.
Speaker 1: And that's why once irns here and there. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta get out, ficks that when you get out, when
Speaker 1: you got a mirror? All right, you brush your teeth
Speaker 1: in the shower? No, no, why would anyone do that?
Speaker 1: People do that? Save time? Seriously, save time? How does
Speaker 1: it save time? You know? Shave brush your teeth? Speaking
Speaker 1: of showers, I got a question, okay, yeah, Jimmie Showers.
Speaker 1: I could use him running the straight options. It's a
Speaker 1: locker room question. So the guys go in and take
Speaker 1: a shower. They need the shower. And then when they
Speaker 1: and I watched yesterday and at least five five of
Speaker 1: them came out like this with their own in the shower. So, no,
Speaker 1: they have like a phone holder, like when you go
Speaker 1: in there to pay. Phone is waterproof? The new ones are,
Speaker 1: so they have to have your phone in the shower.
Speaker 1: It's the music. Yeah, I saw, I saw one after
Speaker 1: another another coming out with their phone out of the shower.
Speaker 1: I don't know when you get the checks they get.
Speaker 1: I think they can afford a new phone, that's true, Okay,
Speaker 1: And for any of you who are I thought maybe
Speaker 1: they had one of those platforms, you know, like when
Speaker 1: you go to a wedding, what if you don't like
Speaker 1: the music of the guy next to you in the
Speaker 1: shower when you walk in. Maybe waterproof there too, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there might be a guy in there with a phone.
Speaker 1: Check And by the way, for any of you, a
Speaker 1: check shower at the fitness center and then go into
Speaker 1: the restroom to shave at the sink, keep your towel
Speaker 1: around you, yes, please please? Can I share one more? Pete?
Speaker 1: And maybe we'll get back to football and what I
Speaker 1: was gonna say and dry your feet. Two. The other thing, too,
Speaker 1: is if you're going to the bathroom and you're at
Speaker 1: the urinals, don't put your phone away. Don't don't handle
Speaker 1: your phone while you're handling your business. Yes, don't do that.
Speaker 1: That's unsanitary, okay, because then you're gonna use the handle
Speaker 1: and then yeah, and everybody's getting dirty germs, right and
Speaker 1: you might call me and I'll get germs from you.
Speaker 1: You can check your phobic about grabbing the handle on
Speaker 1: the door coming out a little bit. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't check what have you have? You get the
Speaker 1: door open? Do you can? You can take a towel
Speaker 1: and do that. I'm just saying, like you can check
Speaker 1: Twitter after you pee, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 1: you can you can wait, you can wait, it can wait. Anyway.
Speaker 1: This is like this like Shannon Show, right, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: talk more football on Shannon Show this afternoon than this
Speaker 1: One's all right. One NFL city is more fired up
Speaker 1: about football right now than Cleveland. More fired up? What
Speaker 1: the NFL city is more or as fired up as
Speaker 1: Cleveland is about their TEAMMP tamp But let's go to
Speaker 1: Alan next up. I'm talking Cowboys. Hello Allan, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping we can talk more about the showering and
Speaker 1: the shaving, But listen, I would like to come back
Speaker 1: to a conversation that Brian and Mickey had after the
Speaker 1: first about the quarterback play. I want to say that
Speaker 1: I really appreciated you taking that on that issue head on,
Speaker 1: because you were talking about the difference between Dak's performance
Speaker 1: when he stays in the pocket or when he rolls out,
Speaker 1: and Brian was making the case, you know, look, we
Speaker 1: have to talk about what are we saying about the
Speaker 1: quarterback and his abilities and is he a better out
Speaker 1: of the pocket passer, And Mickey pointed out that when
Speaker 1: he rolled out, he still threw the ball to tight
Speaker 1: end's feet. And now when we look at this week
Speaker 1: and his performance, i'd like your opinion. I'd like to
Speaker 1: come back to that discussion about what you guys think about.
Speaker 1: What I saw this past week was a return to
Speaker 1: his season one performance and where he actually seemed best
Speaker 1: to me was as a pocket passer, not when he's
Speaker 1: throwing the ball on the move. Most of his bootlegs
Speaker 1: are not successful from what I can see the last
Speaker 1: few years, and you guys also pointed that out when
Speaker 1: he does the bootleg, whether it's a coverage issue, his
Speaker 1: tight ends are not getting open, and he does not
Speaker 1: throw the ball from what I can see nearly as
Speaker 1: well as when he just sits in the pocket and
Speaker 1: has a little bit of time. He is a very
Speaker 1: accurate passer. And I'd like to hear your guy's opinion
Speaker 1: about this whole idea of rolling him out, having him
Speaker 1: throw on the move, or keeping him as a pocket
Speaker 1: passer when he's going to throw the ball. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think there's a difference between a called rollout bootleg and
Speaker 1: throwing the ball then having to scramble away from trouble
Speaker 1: and try to throw the ball on the run. Usually
Speaker 1: he's throwing off his back foot when yes, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: when he gets himself in trouble. Yes, I think from
Speaker 1: the bootleg standpoint, it's not all that bad. But the
Speaker 1: caller's right teams have gotten onto that and they and
Speaker 1: they've snuffed out his options on where to throw the ball,
Speaker 1: and guys aren't getting open as they did when he
Speaker 1: was a rookie. I thought, But yeah, you know he is.
Speaker 1: I think he's better in the pocket, but if it's
Speaker 1: a called bootleg, I think he's Okay, it's those scramble
Speaker 1: ones that he tries to make something out of nothing
Speaker 1: and you get yourself in trouble, which I think Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield will find out also because I think he found
Speaker 1: out last night that he's not as fast in the
Speaker 1: NFL as he was in college. The guys were running
Speaker 1: him down and he can't break tackles like he could. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you, if you, if you're into the numbers, just
Speaker 1: looking at where Dak throws the ball, what do you
Speaker 1: think he's thrown sixteen passes to the right sideline. How
Speaker 1: many of those you think he's completed? I would have
Speaker 1: no idea. Um, okay, well he's a six he's something
Speaker 1: for sent passers. So let's say sixteen passes to the
Speaker 1: right sideline. If you I'm just gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk his percentage. Yeah, he's two of sixteen
Speaker 1: and some of those are throwaways, I bet. Yeah, But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: how about this? And to Nicky's point, he's seven from seven,
Speaker 1: he's seven from seven in the middle of the pocket.
Speaker 1: Seven for seven, that's what they've got, and they've got
Speaker 1: he's he's ten of twelve thrown to the left sideline.
Speaker 1: So clearly he struggled. He's clearly struggled throwing the ball
Speaker 1: to his right. And maybe a lot of that is
Speaker 1: with the boots and the waggles and thing. But think
Speaker 1: about this, if if you're unloading one, you're not thrown
Speaker 1: across your body to the left, You're thrown to the right. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: so half his completions last week we're throwaways, and I
Speaker 1: bet every one of them went to the right. He's
Speaker 1: twenty two of twenty five of throws from one to
Speaker 1: ten yards. He's four of eleven from throws of eleven
Speaker 1: to twenty yards. Can we get them to subtract the
Speaker 1: throwaways from their I didn't I didn't say targets. I
Speaker 1: didn't say targets. I didn't say targets. I know that
Speaker 1: drives Mickey nuts, and he's absolutely right. But he's one
Speaker 1: of three from throws of thirty thirty or more yards.
Speaker 1: What do you think that one was bombs away? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: seven or seven the millwo pocket though I didn't think,
Speaker 1: I'm I wouldn't expecting that. I was not expecting that either.
Speaker 1: But I mean to me, if you watch him play,
Speaker 1: you would seem like to me, I don't mind him
Speaker 1: throwing on the move a little bit. I mean when
Speaker 1: he has to scramble a little bit. I don't mind that,
Speaker 1: you know. I just want you know, I can understand
Speaker 1: playing in the pocket. I get that. I just want
Speaker 1: to see him do more read option stuff. That's what
Speaker 1: I want to see. I'm not asking him just to
Speaker 1: throw every ball in the move. I'm asking him to
Speaker 1: take the snap, read the defensive end, and run for
Speaker 1: eight yards. I like it because it not only helps
Speaker 1: him get going, it helps Zeke because it gives him
Speaker 1: another running threat to worry about, and it kind of
Speaker 1: loosens things up for your true running back at times.
Speaker 1: All right, we're ready to get to our two minute offense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Friday Fearless Forecasts for Sunday in Seattle, Mickey, would you
Speaker 1: like to start with a pick of the game and
Speaker 1: a pick to click? And by the way, last week
Speaker 1: I didn't get your pick to click. I didn't write
Speaker 1: it down, but you got the game, right, was it?
Speaker 1: You picked it? Nineteen seventeen? Yeah, Dallas Now Whiskey Events
Speaker 1: nineteen that's right, that's right. How about twenty four sixteen
Speaker 1: Cowboys twenty four sixteen Cowboys and your pick to click. Oh,
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that. Go around all right, we'll
Speaker 1: go around the games and then i'll tell you Rob
Speaker 1: Phillips I mentioned Zeke. I think, uh, if they're gonna
Speaker 1: have a chance to win, they got to get him going.
Speaker 1: That's in the passing game too, So I'll pick him
Speaker 1: and you who's your winner. I'm going to Seattle in
Speaker 1: this game. I'm going law of averages. I don't think
Speaker 1: they're as bad as Ozo and two would suggests. I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are gonna have to avoid what happened
Speaker 1: in Carolina and not get in those situations where the
Speaker 1: crowd is affecting them and they're in bad down and distance.
Speaker 1: I just think Seattle's got to win this game to
Speaker 1: have a shot. And I think they're better than their
Speaker 1: record suggests. I think they went at home. You have
Speaker 1: a score. I would say twenty one twenty Seattle. I
Speaker 1: think if you watch both teams, Dallas is capable of
Speaker 1: beating this team. Sure, I'm gonna take Seattle at home.
Speaker 1: Is that the same score as the two thousand and
Speaker 1: six Romo Bunch snaps a playoff game? Right? Something like that?
Speaker 1: It was close. And by the way, last week Rob
Speaker 1: had Dallas winning twenty to seventeen and DeMarcus Lawrence was
Speaker 1: your pick to click. Okay, Brian brought us Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think by the way, Brian last week had Dallas winning
Speaker 1: twenty four thirteen and Sean Lee as the pick to click. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't click all that well. I mean he was okay.
Speaker 1: But I think I'm with Rob on this. I don't
Speaker 1: think Seattle's a bad football team, and I think that
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to how well Russell Wilson plays
Speaker 1: in this game for them, and they've been terrible on
Speaker 1: third down as Dallas has been. I worry about the
Speaker 1: discipline with with the Cowboys defense is going to have
Speaker 1: to play in this game because I think that there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that Brian Schottenheimer is going to
Speaker 1: have to look at offensive coordinator and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: we got to go back to doing some of the
Speaker 1: things that Russell Wilson can do well. I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna see some read option stuff. I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: see really a large part because what Dallas the problems
Speaker 1: they had with it in the first half of the
Speaker 1: Carolina game. So I feel like that that's going to
Speaker 1: be a factor. I don't think Seattle's a bad team.
Speaker 1: I think their backs are against the wall. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pick the Seahawks here to win this football game. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be a really, really high scoring game.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be one of those like twenty
Speaker 1: to thirteen games. Seahawks. All right, and your pick a
Speaker 1: click was or is? Well, I mean it's gonna be
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson if they're gonna win. Yeah. But for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys are gonna win, I think that it's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be a defensive player controlling this. I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to tackle. Give me Jalen Smith
Speaker 1: in that if they're gonna all right, And I've thought
Speaker 1: all weeks Seattle because of the intangibles home home opener
Speaker 1: and all that, and today I decided to switch to
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. If I'm gonna if I picked Cowboys to
Speaker 1: go eleven and five this season, then they need to
Speaker 1: win this world game. And so I'm going twenty four
Speaker 1: twenty three in a squeaker. The Cowboys win on the
Speaker 1: last second field go by Brett Maher, who is not
Speaker 1: my pick to click instead, it's Chito Awuzier my pick
Speaker 1: to click. Now, you're pick to click, Nicky to close
Speaker 1: it out. Nick's pick to click Randy Gregory. Randy one
Speaker 1: Gregor and you'll be back. And just to throw one
Speaker 1: out there for you. This is compliments of Nick Eatman.
Speaker 1: When I pointed out that the Seahawks had won fourteen
Speaker 1: or the last fifteen home openers, Nick figured out that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have won fourteen of the last fifteen third
Speaker 1: games of the season. There you go, and they're like
Speaker 1: two and one the last eight years after three games
Speaker 1: something like that. Yes, so that the only loss they
Speaker 1: had is in twenty fifteen when they had the lead
Speaker 1: in Atlanta with Weedon at quarterback. We'll talk about it,
Speaker 1: talking Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
