Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is Nick
Speaker 1: shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. Hello, Hello, Dallas Howboys get no speaking
Speaker 1: of stampede, Speaking of stampedes, stampede late into the earth.
Speaker 1: Thank you. The most lopsided road of victory in the
Speaker 1: sixty three year history of the franchise. That's what I
Speaker 1: call a stampede. And yes, this is a victory Monday
Speaker 1: on a short week at the Star in Frisco. I
Speaker 1: think we owe this to Bill. I think we owe
Speaker 1: it to Bill. He came back, came back Friday. I
Speaker 1: think Actually I wasn't here Friday. Yeah, came back Thursday,
Speaker 1: left us on Friday Friday. But I did make my
Speaker 1: pick to click on Friday, calling in on the road,
Speaker 1: and he almost went ninety nine yards and a half.
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, you may we may have to start disqualifying
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard from our picks to click each week, like
Speaker 1: we did Michael Parsons. Did anybody pick him? I beg him. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's why. That's what I'm saying. So you got all
Speaker 1: mesmerized by my Tony dorse that memory of the yea
Speaker 1: nine yards and I was watching it. Yeah, I try.
Speaker 1: And the point of that pick was Tony Pollard was
Speaker 1: my pick to click. Okay, I got it. You notice
Speaker 1: the one week that I get a good pick to click,
Speaker 1: I bring it up right off the top. Well you should.
Speaker 1: I didn't notice it too. By the way, Everson is
Speaker 1: now pulling up the rest of the picks to have it.
Speaker 1: I have it, and you better hurry because it's a
Speaker 1: short week. The Giants will be here before you know it.
Speaker 1: I had jay Ron, I said, one interception and six
Speaker 1: tackles at thirty five thirty one, so I was the
Speaker 1: only one close and reguss to points, So I get
Speaker 1: that much. Thirty five thirty one, just five points off
Speaker 1: on the points. Yeah yeah, yeah, uh spacks you haddack
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and three touchdowns. You'll take a one
Speaker 1: thirty nine quarterback right yeah? By the way, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you had twenty four only seventh. That was almost his
Speaker 1: stats in regards to its completion five. Bill had Pollard
Speaker 1: ninety nine yards. I didn't put the half and your
Speaker 1: score was Bismo abismo twenty four twenty that's just actually
Speaker 1: I changed it on Sunday to thirty one twenty seven
Speaker 1: because that was the score of the Dorset game in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two, the one that you got an interception. Yes,
Speaker 1: and by the way, Dennis Thurman had to pick six
Speaker 1: in that game. But the Cowboys lost that game. Did Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were we were studs man. Yeah, we were like
Speaker 1: one of the top collingback due. I was in the
Speaker 1: history of the NFL. All right, Mickey's perusing his legal
Speaker 1: pad and he's got page after page of notes that
Speaker 1: he took in Minneapolis on Sunday. I was just looking
Speaker 1: at the third and fifteen, at the thirty one, or
Speaker 1: I guess it was the thirty two because it ended
Speaker 1: up being a sixty eight or touchdown pass that was
Speaker 1: crazy and it was just so well crafted. Well it
Speaker 1: was a it was a They had a four man
Speaker 1: rush and there was no pressure and it gave Pollard
Speaker 1: time to swing out on a wheel route and they
Speaker 1: got him on fifty eight. Um, Jordan Hicks Hicks right,
Speaker 1: it was no. He wasn't gonna run with him right,
Speaker 1: No way. Once he catches it, and then I believe
Speaker 1: he got another maybe a little bit of a block
Speaker 1: from Schultz down the field. Didn't need first one. Yeah
Speaker 1: he didn't write, Yeah, yeah he didn't. He didn't need it,
Speaker 1: and Packer Peterson was no match. It's like, see you
Speaker 1: because we were sitting there when he caught the ball.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, you're talking about the checkdown. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: was talking about the long handoff you're talking about. I
Speaker 1: was talking about the checkdown that was. That was really
Speaker 1: baffling to me how that could have gone for a touchdown. Well,
Speaker 1: because there was no one there. They were all downfield
Speaker 1: over to the side, and the thing like Patrick Peterson
Speaker 1: was expecting a slower person. We'll see because people are
Speaker 1: finally starting to figure it out. The beauty of those
Speaker 1: two guys because they get used to one speed and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this guy steps on the accelerator
Speaker 1: and it quick and it's like, oh my, he's so
Speaker 1: sudden and and it surprises people and it surprised him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I when he caught the ball, I turned to Patrick
Speaker 1: was next to me, and I said, he's gone, And
Speaker 1: sure enough, he just outran the whole stadium. I thought
Speaker 1: the checks at the line were extremely important and so
Speaker 1: well designed. I liked the long hand off down the
Speaker 1: field was at fifty eight. Again the linebacker, the same
Speaker 1: linebacker that probably Yeah, that was the over the shoulder
Speaker 1: catch was I just called a long handoff. That was
Speaker 1: just a beautiful, uh passing catch. They read they read
Speaker 1: the defense well, I mean it was they anticipated this somehow,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the game plan was, but
Speaker 1: they knew exactly what what Minnesota was in and they
Speaker 1: knew exactly what to do when it came up. What
Speaker 1: Dak recognized it, Shuts even recognized it. Hey, this is
Speaker 1: what we got right here, right, trips on one side,
Speaker 1: tight on this side. Da Dak basically after the game said,
Speaker 1: credited to Kellen Moore on the play call when he
Speaker 1: did it and the play designed. Yes, that's what they
Speaker 1: knew what they would be in, ye, and it was perfect.
Speaker 1: They were in the cover for they overloaded trips on
Speaker 1: one side, and they brought pilot out just offset in
Speaker 1: the backfield and there was he and Schultz. Welcome to
Speaker 1: two man combo out and shots went inside the wheel
Speaker 1: out outside. It looks so easy, And that basically was
Speaker 1: ball game, right That ball that made it third three
Speaker 1: and there was still twelve thirty two to play quarter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I mean when you look at this game,
Speaker 1: who do you what was the catalyst? Because I know
Speaker 1: what it was. For me, Well, to me, what unit,
Speaker 1: I'd say what unit was it? It was to me
Speaker 1: it was a combination of Number one, they did a
Speaker 1: decent job stopping the run. They didn't have any big
Speaker 1: you know, bleed a big note. Number two, the offense
Speaker 1: got him a lead. And then number three, the worst
Speaker 1: thing that could happen to the Vikings was they had
Speaker 1: to play catch up and meaning they had to throw
Speaker 1: the ball, meaning the Cowboys could unleash their past Russian
Speaker 1: and that mostly meant Michael Parsons seven sacks. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you could see what the catalyst of this that defense
Speaker 1: was Michael Parsons and how he started off the game right,
Speaker 1: he was that set the tone period And I cannot believe,
Speaker 1: and this is why they're mad at Kirk Cousins all
Speaker 1: the time. How do you not know that Michael's back there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean how did you? I was saying, you have
Speaker 1: such a lack of awareness, and he just over there
Speaker 1: like ohh, I'm okay. Back here. No, you're not, bro,
Speaker 1: And I didn't think he would be silly enough to
Speaker 1: let him catch up, and so that not even tell
Speaker 1: you on his part like, wow, bro, you you are
Speaker 1: not really in tune to this game. But when I
Speaker 1: look at who what what unit won this game? Clearly, guys,
Speaker 1: the offensive line. If the offensive line plays like this,
Speaker 1: we are not going to lose another game, right if
Speaker 1: the offensive line does what they do. Let's face it, guys,
Speaker 1: we got great quarterbacks out there. You know, I love
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. I'll give him a lot more credit and
Speaker 1: I will uh blame, but watching him with that comfort
Speaker 1: zone that he had in the pocket, you can't lose.
Speaker 1: And he stepped up a couple of times when there
Speaker 1: was a lot of muck in there, but they held
Speaker 1: their own. They held their own. And you know the
Speaker 1: other thing he mentioned the offensive line on the on
Speaker 1: the pass at the end of the half to CD, Yes,
Speaker 1: they pulled the alignment out of there, like yes, that
Speaker 1: was definitely planned. No, that was not. He had two
Speaker 1: guys with him, they were hoping it was from this
Speaker 1: side the line. The defensive line was here. The other
Speaker 1: guy looped around ready to shield him, and one of
Speaker 1: them was the center. That's right. He was all the
Speaker 1: way out there. So that was a and to me,
Speaker 1: I give Kellen Moore that credit because that's something that
Speaker 1: we were victims of with Aaron Rodgers. And you could
Speaker 1: see there was well designed and CD lamb. You know,
Speaker 1: even though he didn't have the numbers that he really
Speaker 1: wanted to have. It was quality. Yeah, it wasn't quantity,
Speaker 1: but it was quality. And that was timely time. That
Speaker 1: was that was That's one of the better past plays.
Speaker 1: And I mean from the design to the players themselves
Speaker 1: that I'm probably seen in a couple of years around here.
Speaker 1: It was the leading tower of pizza catch. That was crazy,
Speaker 1: all right. He just framed it for him right there.
Speaker 1: Since you've gone there, Yes, thirty one seconds left in
Speaker 1: the half. They take over at their own fourteen yard line.
Speaker 1: It says a lot about the confidence that they have
Speaker 1: in this offense. I mean, you're already up twenty to three, right,
Speaker 1: You're already up twenty to three. You're starting at your
Speaker 1: own fourteen yard line with thirty one seconds left in
Speaker 1: the half, and you decide we can we can get
Speaker 1: half a field, guys, let's go. Yeah, I'm thinking to myself, man,
Speaker 1: just there aren't a lot of teams. Most teams would
Speaker 1: take a knee at that point, already up twenty to three.
Speaker 1: And because what if remember the Washington game went through
Speaker 1: my mind, which was at the fifty yard line. It
Speaker 1: was a Romo pass out to Shard choice and a
Speaker 1: fumble and a run for a touchdown. I mean, that
Speaker 1: would be a catastrophic play like that gets Minnesota in
Speaker 1: the game at twenty to ten. Let's see what they
Speaker 1: did is they just chipped away. They didn't try to
Speaker 1: get the ball waiting. We just saw Brady do this
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. It was and everyone thought how stupid
Speaker 1: the other team was. It was a smoke screen to
Speaker 1: CD for six, threw a little out to Pollard for
Speaker 1: six and he got out of bounds. And now there's
Speaker 1: twenty seconds left. And now twenty seconds left and a
Speaker 1: little thing to Schultz who barely gets out of bounds, right,
Speaker 1: and it was like seven yards. So now you're in
Speaker 1: position at the thirty yard line with thirteen seconds left
Speaker 1: to make the twenty eight yard pass to CD which
Speaker 1: way to Jared Cook play And yes, basically that's what
Speaker 1: they were. Yeah, and you know, and I think, and
Speaker 1: I think Romo said that. Romo said it on the
Speaker 1: on the broadcast the play, right, and and the fact
Speaker 1: that if they can just get the ball another chunk,
Speaker 1: they'll be in mars distance. And now we can go
Speaker 1: to the NFL officiating. Here we go, all right, it's
Speaker 1: time a mix shot. Even the show, when we went,
Speaker 1: he catches the ball, they messed around long enough where
Speaker 1: they had to call time out because the plate clock
Speaker 1: was down to like five seconds and Maher had never
Speaker 1: yet set up to kick the field goal. So now
Speaker 1: the Cowboys called time out. So I went back and
Speaker 1: timed it real time from the minute he caught the
Speaker 1: ball to the minute he started to kick it in
Speaker 1: Somewhere out there, somebody called time out. One of the officials. Right,
Speaker 1: it was a minute in fifty one seconds? Did you
Speaker 1: hear it before you go? Did you hear a whistle? No?
Speaker 1: I don't understand. And I could see the head referee.
Speaker 1: He didn't do it. The back judge didn't do it,
Speaker 1: So it must have been the call comes into one
Speaker 1: of the side judges. I don't know because he wasn't
Speaker 1: in the picture, but he had a minute in fifty
Speaker 1: one seconds. Nah, Why did it take so long? What
Speaker 1: were you doing? What was the explanation? And there was
Speaker 1: never an explanation. It was obvious. It got buzzed on
Speaker 1: the top on the first replay we saw it was
Speaker 1: obvious there was a question on whether or not he
Speaker 1: maintained possession down to the ground or trapped it or whatever.
Speaker 1: Right now, Nanson Romo didn't say it at the time
Speaker 1: that there was a question out. They were marveling at
Speaker 1: his keeping us both feet in rods and then so
Speaker 1: but the upstairs they should have they should have immediately, right,
Speaker 1: You could see it immediately something the first yes, the
Speaker 1: first replay, and then after they kept showing it, it
Speaker 1: looked like he got his hand under the right and
Speaker 1: they got it right. As far as confirming that the
Speaker 1: play stands, but the execution of it was ridiculous. Well,
Speaker 1: the timing exactly if you're gonna wait that long when
Speaker 1: the guys in the motion of getting ready to kick it. Seriously,
Speaker 1: that's not say it was say to me, it was
Speaker 1: all saty to me, So I'm up, So I was
Speaker 1: gonna say so. The amazing thing is he hit from
Speaker 1: sixty yards barely, got it in the right upright, right,
Speaker 1: and it landed so behind the end zone. There's a
Speaker 1: checkered line right and it's like, maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: five yards behind the end line, and it was like,
Speaker 1: that's gonna make it. And it did. And then he
Speaker 1: re kicks it and the second kick was better than
Speaker 1: the first, right down the middle and it landed like
Speaker 1: three or four yards further right. That guy is amazing.
Speaker 1: He's got he's got a mental toughness about him to
Speaker 1: be able to do that, and he's got some confidence
Speaker 1: to then. Yeah, I mean it was the second and
Speaker 1: third best field goals I saw this weekend. I think
Speaker 1: he should have he should have got credit for you
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about the second and third best
Speaker 1: field goal I saw this week because he hit two
Speaker 1: of them. No, who was Yeah, who was the first?
Speaker 1: His fifty three yards? No, it was a TCU game
Speaker 1: on and running the running the field and kicking that thing.
Speaker 1: So I didn't see the play before they ran on Tcuya,
Speaker 1: why did they run it? They ran it? They ran
Speaker 1: it to they were on the left hash Mark wanted
Speaker 1: to get in the middle. They wanted to get in
Speaker 1: the middle, and they out of timeouts. I guess they
Speaker 1: had used their I'm sure they had used their last
Speaker 1: time out, and so they had about twenty eighteen twenty
Speaker 1: seconds left when that place started. Ran it basically to
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, close to the right hash mark,
Speaker 1: and then it was offense off the field. Special teams
Speaker 1: on the field executed perfectly, and he got to kick
Speaker 1: off with four seconds left with time to spare. Well, coach,
Speaker 1: and this is where we lose all the Cowboy fans.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about something different, Producers Supreme. But heard
Speaker 1: Producers Supreme is a big Baylor fan. That's a big
Speaker 1: rivalry game. I guarantee you bones fossil down the hallway
Speaker 1: there was looking on and nodding his head that yep,
Speaker 1: that's why we practice that thing. And by the end,
Speaker 1: and Sonny Dike said after the game that we practice
Speaker 1: that every Thursday or whatever, and teams around the brother
Speaker 1: college ball that are well coached or in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you're practicing that all the time. So we lost it.
Speaker 1: We were just getting ready. We took off just when
Speaker 1: they are starting to drive, I think it was, and
Speaker 1: it was like, seriously, it's like, Captain Bill, can you
Speaker 1: just kind of circle around one time before we get
Speaker 1: in the air, but he that it was like seventeen
Speaker 1: seconds after that play was over. Well and then they
Speaker 1: I had a flashback to the Niners game. Yeah say
Speaker 1: that much? You know, Oh here we go because he
Speaker 1: hit it with like two or three seconds to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which has nailed it, just nailed it. Anyway, Let's think
Speaker 1: about this. If that, if that play, if that field
Speaker 1: goal would have been canceled, well it was, and if
Speaker 1: he would have missed the next field goal? How embared everything?
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL would be? Yeah, in regards
Speaker 1: to that, because oh, they wouldn't be. They would, they would,
Speaker 1: they would defend it, They would defend it. But but man,
Speaker 1: I don't know it would What what is the protocol
Speaker 1: in regards to these these shady uh moments? As far
Speaker 1: as the referees are concern do they do they have?
Speaker 1: Do they send they have a list that they look
Speaker 1: at every week and and you know there are times
Speaker 1: when they actually issue an apology. Yeah, so how do
Speaker 1: I mean? I know don't how much time every team
Speaker 1: sends in a list of questionable things every Monday after
Speaker 1: again that was questionable, but well I'm not but the
Speaker 1: referee they uh, they police themselves, right, well they go
Speaker 1: over all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, absolutely ridiculous. That could
Speaker 1: have been. Really, man, I can't even use another word
Speaker 1: because there's only one fitting word and it's not proper
Speaker 1: for this. So he which by the way, I don't
Speaker 1: care a word. You can look it up in there.
Speaker 1: But supposedly today's birthday? Who Mars? Wow? Really and Troy
Speaker 1: Higman's by the way, it was Troy's. So Mars now
Speaker 1: got four sixty yard field goals in the history, only
Speaker 1: one in history, and that's over the Baltimore Kicker. And
Speaker 1: that's twice as many as anybody else's got. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Everybody else the record was two. All right. There's much much,
Speaker 1: much more to get to on this monumental win in

Speaker 1: cowboys and Vikings. And right off the top, Everson talked
Speaker 1: about one of the keys to the game was Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons said in the tone on the first series of
Speaker 1: the game, third play of the game with the sack
Speaker 1: of Cousins, and then what the Cowboys offensive line did
Speaker 1: throughout this game, how well they are playing. Here's the
Speaker 1: other thing. When you look at the Vikings offensive line.
Speaker 1: We brought this up last week. First half of the season,
Speaker 1: their starting offensive lineman missed a grand total of three
Speaker 1: offensive snaps the first eight games of the season, not
Speaker 1: so much. And then Christian Darris saw their left tackle
Speaker 1: got knocked out of last week's game against Buffalo, didn't
Speaker 1: play in this one with a concussion, also started off.
Speaker 1: Also lost their left guard. Yes, yep, but Dressau gave
Speaker 1: up the first set right and then he went out. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it was any worse because
Speaker 1: Roma was saying, boy, that he never really gives it
Speaker 1: up that easily, you know, talking about offensive linement. And
Speaker 1: even though Poston's had been playing well, he's he said, man,
Speaker 1: that was very unusual. First sat Derrison, but it gets
Speaker 1: back to how important it is to have healthy offensive linemen.
Speaker 1: And now you're looking at a Cowboys team on their
Speaker 1: offensive line getting healthier. They even and a forty to
Speaker 1: three win. We're able to slide Tyler Smith inside to
Speaker 1: left guard, give Peters some reps at left tackle, and
Speaker 1: you know, Tyrn has continues his rehab and they're building
Speaker 1: building some depth there on their offensive line and some versatility.
Speaker 1: To think Peter is pretty tired today. I think I
Speaker 1: think that's why they did that, anticipating when Tyron comes back,
Speaker 1: can we put exactly Tyler inside for McGovern and then
Speaker 1: McGovern becomes your backup center and you don't have to
Speaker 1: elevate somebody off the practice squad because now they're out
Speaker 1: of elevations for what's his name, the coach Shepley. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that was some forethought. Maybe you get through
Speaker 1: this game, you got ten days, and maybe first of December,
Speaker 1: tyrans ready to maybe get back out there, and you
Speaker 1: see where you go. But yeah, you're exactly right. When
Speaker 1: you get injuries on the offensive line, nobody, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like you're in pretty good shape if you have
Speaker 1: five guys, right, but generally six, but after that you're
Speaker 1: probably in trouble in this lie on the offensive line. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good to see him set at the tone.
Speaker 1: And when we started talking about how we handled the
Speaker 1: Russian game, I never really for some reason, it didn't
Speaker 1: come to my mind, but Fowler was someone that we
Speaker 1: should have talked about last week. You know, that could
Speaker 1: be someone that could could be part of that three
Speaker 1: linebacker set, and I don't think we really talked about it.
Speaker 1: Because we're talking about jay Len coming in and moving
Speaker 1: Wilson to the back. But I think Fowlers should get
Speaker 1: a lot more of time and run situation defense, you know,
Speaker 1: starting the game first down with those three, uh finding
Speaker 1: three linebackers that can really help us control that running
Speaker 1: game as opposed to our nickel formation. Well they didn't.
Speaker 1: They didn't mess around in this one with bar out
Speaker 1: and I saw him walking around before the game down
Speaker 1: on the sideline. It looked like he was ready to go.
Speaker 1: But then I saw him going out there hugging former
Speaker 1: buddies and damn maybe not. They started the moan Clark.
Speaker 1: He ends up forty three snaps forty three. He played well, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he played well, and you know they I mean, and
Speaker 1: vander Vandersch had forty two snaps so by and vander
Speaker 1: Esch was not there in the end, Gifford got some snaps, yeah,
Speaker 1: got some snaps. Yeah. But he also got to like
Speaker 1: the fact that they got in two more special teams
Speaker 1: stacks and a forced fumble. This guy's looking good, man,
Speaker 1: He's really making his move and this this is good
Speaker 1: for the team. Yeah, not just for him, this is
Speaker 1: good for the team. This guy's making plays is making
Speaker 1: the difference in the game because they're you know they Yeah,
Speaker 1: you see them celebrate when he does something he's like which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I thought it was funny when I
Speaker 1: watched the replay of CD's catch so on the sideline
Speaker 1: Britt Brown, Dave A Bruisie, and doctor Foller. It's a
Speaker 1: story called it. They were standard play where the ball
Speaker 1: came down along with that, I think Diggs was no,
Speaker 1: Diggs was, yeah, Diggs was there too, right, It was
Speaker 1: pretty funny speaking of Diggs, all right, how about Diggs
Speaker 1: onjust Jefferson yesterday? What are you talking about? That's that's
Speaker 1: a man right there. And if he was, I told
Speaker 1: my daughter, I said, because she loves him. I said,
Speaker 1: if he would have caught that one head and I said,
Speaker 1: you would have said, Dad, he's he's he's better than you.
Speaker 1: If he would have caught that, I would have said,
Speaker 1: he's better than you. Know. What he said afterwards was
Speaker 1: that he said I needed some stick going back there.
Speaker 1: You go. Yeah, that was what three catches three yards
Speaker 1: and this was after last year it was two catches
Speaker 1: twenty one yards and you know, you gotta give credit.
Speaker 1: What credit is Duke? He was able to do that
Speaker 1: a lot because of that defensive line he was. He
Speaker 1: was panicking in the pocket at all times. He never
Speaker 1: did feel comfortable. I mean, even if Jefferson would have
Speaker 1: been opened, he's too busy. He wasn't looking downfield. He
Speaker 1: was looking at all that that stuff in front. The
Speaker 1: tight end got the majority of the catches right. He
Speaker 1: couldn't find Jefferson whether he was open or open or
Speaker 1: not open. I least it was purple. I was like,
Speaker 1: at least saw the stars. That's all he saw with stars.
Speaker 1: So now that's what you want from your your cornerback.
Speaker 1: They I didn't know that that was the only I
Speaker 1: thought we had used him to follow receivers more than
Speaker 1: this particular game. Did it last week with Lazard, Okay,
Speaker 1: and the one we've done it, the the catch Lazard had,
Speaker 1: he was lined up in the slot, and that's the
Speaker 1: one Bland fell down off the off the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: Should have done him with Watson instead of Lazard last week. Well,
Speaker 1: as it turned out, they should have switched right. Should
Speaker 1: have looked at our scouting report on it. But I
Speaker 1: think I think a lot of what they were trying
Speaker 1: to keep and I don't know why people don't see this,
Speaker 1: And maybe the Cowboys changed a lot of the times
Speaker 1: when that receivers in the slot. They don't want Digs
Speaker 1: in the slot. But you know, maybe he needs to
Speaker 1: be Yeah, I mean as a as a a young man,
Speaker 1: it's really tough to play that slot position. Right, you're
Speaker 1: just you've just been Darren Woodson. I give him credit
Speaker 1: all the time as a strong safety played that slot
Speaker 1: so well. It was impressive. I was forced to do
Speaker 1: it myself with the Giants, and my experience helped me.
Speaker 1: But Diggs is younger and covering that slot it's really
Speaker 1: kind of difficult for someone young like him still talented
Speaker 1: enough to do it. But this is something I think
Speaker 1: they need to make a note of. Okay, we've got
Speaker 1: teams where they've got a catalyst, then we need to
Speaker 1: put our best man on him. Period. And when it
Speaker 1: comes to Michael Parsons, I liked the way they played
Speaker 1: him yesterday. That was sometimes when he wasn't even in
Speaker 1: the game, and I'm talking about why the game was
Speaker 1: still intact. Yeah, he only had thirty eight snaps. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so man d Law came through. Ye. You talked
Speaker 1: about Clark coming through jay Ron came through dance again.
Speaker 1: I said, I texted, you gotta see now he wants
Speaker 1: to get two sacks. I remember that was my pick
Speaker 1: to click to get two sacks last week. So yeah,
Speaker 1: he ends up Armstrong two sacks. That gives him seven
Speaker 1: for the season. That's a career high. Wow, with what
Speaker 1: seven games to go, two tackles for losses, three quarterback
Speaker 1: hits and a forced fumble. Yeah, I saw that last night.
Speaker 1: I was a man's line the right. But see, that's
Speaker 1: what they need on the other side of Lawrence. They
Speaker 1: can't be just one sided and everybody says, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna take care of Lawrence or we're gonna take care
Speaker 1: of Parsons and we'll deal with the other side. Well,
Speaker 1: the other side needs to come through. Um so now
Speaker 1: four players with five or more sacks. I think Parsons
Speaker 1: has ten, Armstrong has seven, Lawrence has six, and Fowler
Speaker 1: has five and Armstrong has what seven? Seven that's a
Speaker 1: career high for him. Yet six last year. So with
Speaker 1: seven games, Brandy Gregory, what do you got for me? Right?
Speaker 1: You know? And they ended up saving money on that, yes,
Speaker 1: so well, you know those guys were itching to get
Speaker 1: in last year, you know what I mean, we knew
Speaker 1: what it was all about. And by the way, did
Speaker 1: you see Ridgeway what he did? No, man, what he
Speaker 1: did to this little running back. But I think there
Speaker 1: was the Texans were playing thee. He picked the guy up,
Speaker 1: like the guy's faces and his crotch. He picked him
Speaker 1: up and just like he just backslammed me, just just
Speaker 1: slammed it to the ground like like a wrestler, really
Speaker 1: like a little kid. No, no, because the guy wouldn't
Speaker 1: go down, all right, yeah, like you don't want to
Speaker 1: go down. Then he just kind of flipped him over.
Speaker 1: Paul Bunyan, Yes, yes, so no. We we had guys
Speaker 1: last year who are getting more time this year, who
Speaker 1: are really showing up our defensive line, and they just
Speaker 1: asked to our depth. Know, I'll tell you, um, that's
Speaker 1: a luxury to have Michael Parsons. Parsons, Yeah, that and
Speaker 1: when he looked like he got hurt and he said
Speaker 1: afterwards he never felt his knee feel that way, but
Speaker 1: he walked it off. But then he came back in
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing they couldn't tie him down, is my
Speaker 1: guests right, because there was no need for him to
Speaker 1: come back in the game. Right. Oh, there's Michael Parsons, right.
Speaker 1: And you see it in the locker room afterwards, dan
Speaker 1: Quinn was walking through fist bumping the defensive guys and
Speaker 1: I caught up with him and I said, well, was
Speaker 1: that a response? He goes Was that a response? Right?
Speaker 1: And he just kept walking and walked out. I wish
Speaker 1: I knew his defense well enough to know what the
Speaker 1: adjustments were that they made, because clearly there was some
Speaker 1: adjustments made. No more gashes you had. Cook did a
Speaker 1: good job, you know. And even when he had five
Speaker 1: or six yard run he had to struggle for it
Speaker 1: wasn't those gaping like it was the week before. And
Speaker 1: there were times when vander esh was able to step
Speaker 1: into the hole and meet the guys. Say now, that's
Speaker 1: what I want to see from him. And I know
Speaker 1: he's got to be thinking about his neck all the time.
Speaker 1: It's just normal. And that's why I point out that
Speaker 1: he kind of goes around blots a little bit, because
Speaker 1: I would too if I had the insurgery that he had.
Speaker 1: But if you start looking at what he did yesterday,
Speaker 1: I saw no retreating. I saw him being aggressive as
Speaker 1: I've ever seen him in the hole and he burst.
Speaker 1: They had that bubble where they have the lineback between
Speaker 1: the linebacker and the lineman. He burst that bubble every time.
Speaker 1: They had nine guys that had at least three tackles,
Speaker 1: and two of those guys, vander Esh and Daman Clark
Speaker 1: each had three. Curse led with five parsons four Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Brown and Digs and vander Esh and Clark, Sam
Speaker 1: Williams and Gallimore all three tackles. And a lot of
Speaker 1: that was they had to quit running right it was
Speaker 1: time to throw. They had to and then it have
Speaker 1: time to throw. So m by the way, that was
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's one hundred and fiftieth career win, and that
Speaker 1: first touchdown pass from Dak was his one hundred and
Speaker 1: fiftieth career touchdown. And now he's got one fifty one.
Speaker 1: So that for symmetry. So yeah, a little less than
Speaker 1: thirteen years at Green Bay and now three years here.
Speaker 1: So one hundred and fifty wins in sixty sixteen seasons.
Speaker 1: It's nearly ten wins a season. That's not bad. Not bad.
Speaker 1: He's only had like two maybe losing seasons, well three
Speaker 1: maybe one year. I think his last year when he
Speaker 1: got fired, they had a losing season, and then early
Speaker 1: on his third year, I think it looked like they
Speaker 1: had put it together the second year, and then they
Speaker 1: had a losing season. If I remember then, they were
Speaker 1: eight and eight his first year in Green Bay after
Speaker 1: starting off four and eight, they were, Yeah, they were
Speaker 1: eight and eight his first year, six and ten. In
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight in Green Bay, he had you know,
Speaker 1: seven or thirteen wins season. Then from O nine through
Speaker 1: twelve eleven wins, ten wins, fifteen wins, eleven wins eight
Speaker 1: That was the year after they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: They went fifteen and one, and then eight seven and
Speaker 1: one in twenty thirteen, and then three more twelve win,
Speaker 1: ten win, ten win and then twenty seventeen seven and nine,
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen four to seven and one. So three seasons
Speaker 1: under five hundred for him in Green Bay and then
Speaker 1: one year and he is now here in the last
Speaker 1: two seasons nineteen and eight here in Dallas. Well throughout
Speaker 1: the COVID yass there was another stat I forgot it
Speaker 1: that if they had beaten the Packers, he would have
Speaker 1: passed somebody Lombardi. Lombardi, Yeah, I just no, no, I
Speaker 1: think that might have been. I mean, come on, that
Speaker 1: might have been. Think about Lombardi, Come and think about Lombard.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was career wins or I
Speaker 1: can't remember me now you're gonna make me look that up.
