Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:13.200 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:17.360 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:22.640 official Dallas Cowboys apt Now here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:28.520 and Nicky Spagnola. All right, there's been too much negativity 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.479 around here inside the SWBC podcast studio. Welcome to a 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:36.120 Wednesday edition of Mick Shots, Bill Jones, Everson Walls, and 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.159 Mickey Spagnola. And Mickey has just brought it to our 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.960 attentions some positivity. You can talk all you want to 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:47.600 about the Cowboys having not won a road playoff game 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:52.320 in thirty years, their record against Tom Brady. But what's 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:58.840 their record, Mickey against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the playoffs? Well, 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:04.240 postseason series record, Dallas leads the series two to nothing. 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.840 There you go, there's some well positivity. You're welcome Cowboy fans. 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.400 And by god, last time they faced them on January 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.600 ninth of nineteen eighty three, they spanked them thirty to 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.800 seventeen eighty three. And there was another playoff meeting the 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.560 previous year and it was even worse in January of 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.520 nineteen eighty two, it was thirty eight to nothing the Cowboys. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.640 And there's a man in the room right here who 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.440 was very much a part of both of those stopping. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.120 That's when the Cowboys were the Cowboys. So is it 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.160 okay to go back what forty years? If we can 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.280 go back thirty years, we can go back forty yes, 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.480 or if we can go back twenty years, because the 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.240 first time Tom Brady beat the Cowboys was in two 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.800 thousand and three, right, two thousand and three, and you 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:56.120 know how they clubbed him twelve to nothing, just ripped 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.680 them with Tom Brady at quarters? What kind of offense 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.280 did we? Yeah? Quincy Carter? Oh? Okay? Is that like 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:07.840 say no more is a verb? Yes, the Cowboys got 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:12.239 Quincy car the greatest coaching job of Bill Parcel's career 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:19.200 getting that team into the playoffs, a wild card playoff birth. Yeah. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.840 That was better than the Super Bowl years, better than 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.880 the time that Everson Walls got his Super Bowl ring? 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.560 Was that Bill Parcels as the head coach? Was that 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:36.720 the Marian Barber? Bar was? That was pre Barber? Who 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:43.600 was the running back? It was Derek Hameron. Wow, I 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:50.040 didn't say it right? Didn't. I said it didn't matter, no, woman, Hambrick. 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:56.680 Now they won, They won that game, they won that season, 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.320 and if I remember correctly, the fullback might have led 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.840 them in reception if you look it up. And if 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.600 you're gonna be if you got Richie Anderson, yes, who 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.400 came with parcels sor he was a parcels player with 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.600 the Jets. If you are going to be part of 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.840 a masterful bill plus sales team, then you know it 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:23.280 was led by the defense and the running game that 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.560 you know he's gonna take it out of the quarterback's 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.480 hands and put it on his offensive and defense. That 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:34.600 would have been I believe Darren Woodson's last season. He alway, 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.920 he always broken the record. And by the way, well 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.640 he had broken his forearm. By the way, you got 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.760 Hambrick right, right, Nicky, you missed the first I know, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:47.000 I know it's Troy. I I know I didn't. Well 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:53.080 you didn't, Well you didn't. What do you mean? He 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.920 didn't know who the running back was, right? He thought 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:01.920 I was Richie Anderson eating with sixty nine catches for 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.600 four hundred and ninety three yards, that's a fullback four touchdowns. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.560 He was the starting fullback. That's what they had fullbacks. 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:15.080 Leading receiver was Terry Glenn with fifty two catches. That's 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:20.920 a good one. Terry Glen or leading receiver receiver, Davion 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.919 Cason was on that team, and Tony O'Bryant was your 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:30.680 number eighty eight on that You guys ran Bill off 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.800 after that masterful coaching job. No, he left. Yeah, he 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.640 left off. No, because he couldn't handle losing. So that 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.320 was his first year. That was his first year. Guys 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.160 were afraid of him. Oh I was not. The media, 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.680 the media saying that he was a bully. Don't be 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:53.040 walking up. The coaches. Assistant coaches were complaining because he 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.719 was too tough on them. I heard about, you know, 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.600 being build a tight The assistant coaches were all his guys. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.480 By the to review the parcels years, it was ten 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.760 and six and making the playoffs and oh three, and 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.880 then it was six and ten because you had no Qbaty. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:14.120 They cut Carter and training camp and Vinny Testaverdi at 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.320 fifty years old, had to be the starting. He had 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.240 Tony Romo on his roster, which he did not like. 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:27.600 And then in five after drafting DeMarcus Ware and Marcus 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.799 Spears in the first round. And it was a great 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.080 draft beyond that too, including Jay Ratliffe in the seventh round. 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.680 Um it was a nine and seven season five and 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.640 then nine and seven and oh six, which ended on 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.680 the snap on the field goal attempt. Oh god, and 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.800 then they and then a couple of days later he 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:53.760 was there were There were several days passed, and then 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.640 one day Bill Parcels took his baseball bat and got 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.120 in his car and drove away. He walked away from 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:06.359 Valley Ranch with his baseball bats with that, But he 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:11.480 didn't do it soon enough because that allowed Mike Zimmer 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.560 to leave and go to Atlanta. Otherwise he might have 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.800 been the head coach. Well, it's still you guys now, 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.960 you know still of the story that I heard. You 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:28.640 guys were so afraid of him. You went right sniveling, 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.360 same saying things like he's to me, you guys, Jerry guy, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.240 mister Jones, He's to me, Well, can you get somebody 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.119 in here, nicer, forget the fact that we're working with 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.920 with spit and paste over You know what. I hate 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.039 to tell you, but you got this one wrong. Okay, 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.320 you got this one wrong. And that's what I heard. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:58.080 He was beloved. It's funny that this is all just impromptu. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.920 Talking about Bill parcel I thought, Man, when I got 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.120 in my truck to to leave home to come here, 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.920 this is what crossed my mind. I was thinking about Mickey, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:14.200 and sometimes on these this show Mickey sometimes can get 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.880 like if a tour comes through in the windows behind Mickey, 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.240 that sometimes he can get distracted. And so the thought 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.320 occurred to me that I wonder if Bill Parcels could 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:31.680 coach Mickey, who, because Mickey was not a can be 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.320 a distract He's the most distractable player on this show. 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:40.320 Absolutely not. He he dropped the dime. I am the 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.240 most realistic one on this show. That you were the 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:48.040 beat writer, you could have handled this in a different way. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.800 I do believe. I'm pretty sure you were. Me and 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.440 Bill were like this, then you should have taken that. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.520 You should have protected he did. He had restract for you, Bill, 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:02.640 I needed. I wasn't to help everybody else, all right, 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.000 which brings us too. I don't know how we got 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:09.040 there both here we are talking. Well, maybe it's catch 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.720 we started talking about Tom Brady y because I pointed 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.080 out to right Drew over the Cowboys. As a matter 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.920 of fact, I went back and looked. His first victory 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.120 of the Cowboys was two thousand and three. None of 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.640 those guys are still on this team. The second victor 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.160 tried to get here and tried to stay heround two 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.480 thousand seven. Two thousand and seven was the next victory, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.079 and none of those guys are here. Two thousand and 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.160 eleven was the next Vision victory. Tyrn Smith, I think, 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.360 was the only player still here from that team. And 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:52.840 in twenty fifteen h two thousand two, twenty fifteen, there 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:58.920 were Zach Martin, Lawrence, and Tyron Smith. And then in 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.840 twenty nineteen, there's fifteen guys on this current team that 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.679 played in that game. And then last year there's everybody, 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:11.400 and this year there's everything. Not everybody from last year matter. Okay, 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:16.439 this year there's everybody. This year is most everybody, but 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.480 not everybody that started in that first game. By the way, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:25.320 things changed and they held Tom Brady to nineteen points 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:33.000 and an eighty seven quarterback Rady one touchdown, yep, one interception, 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:39.800 and Tom Brady didn't beat the Cowboys. Well defense, yeah, 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.200 and that's the point, and that's a point. Jerry Jones 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.360 made yesterday. You're not playing Tom Brady, You're playing Tom 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.640 Brady's team. And that's been the problem facing tom Brady's 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.040 team for virtually every team in the league the last 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:57.000 twenty years is he's always been on a very good team. Well, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.760 what you see with Tampa is their defense. It's almost 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.000 like if you were going to try and slow down 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:08.320 the fast break basketball team. That's what their defense does. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:14.240 They keep the game intact until you can get situational 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:19.520 football from Tom Brady. So if you're not gonna go 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.800 up by at least two scores, then they're gonna always 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.680 be within striking rains. And that defense has made sure 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.599 that that's been the case, as they have righted the 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.160 wrong from earlier this season. And when McCarthy was asked 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:38.400 the question what makes those quarterbacks like Brady Montana five 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:46.880 Rogers great, he said, situational football. These guys love to 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.840 play two minute drill and he goes and that's when 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:55.320 they excel. So you better be ahead of them by 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.760 more than the one point the Cowboys were last year 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.080 when they drove and scored and went up twenty nine 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.920 twenty eight with one twenty four to go, and in 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.079 one twenty two. They kicked the field goal to beat 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.520 the Cowboys thirty one twenty nine. And it's not just 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.040 the two minute drill. There are certain situation still, certain 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.760 situations that you can categorize as situational football, such as 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.800 you get close to midfield, he's going to take a 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:29.280 shot to me, That situational football. Certain points of a 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:34.200 ball game that he's predictable, and most quarterbacks are predictable, 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.840 and that's where you need to play strong and smart. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:42.079 McCarthy's exact quote was, the common denominator is the way 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:46.240 they play the two minute drill almost something they live for, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.240 always in it, if they have time and downs. And 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.080 you know what, He's absolutely right. And here's the thing, 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.560 I don't care who you are. Everyone shows a pattern. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.840 And sometimes you see where a great quarterback X draw 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:06.120 other things, They draw penalties out of your secondary. I 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:07.920 don't know how many times we've seen it with my homes. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.480 He finally get a chance to get get a shot 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.440 at my homes in the pocket, you sack him, but 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.439 he downfield there's a holding call. Yeah, and that bailed 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.160 him out. Or Rogers snapping the ball early to get 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.160 you two things. All of those things that kind of 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.680 stacks the chips in that quarterback's favor. And we have 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.320 done that as well, not as consistently, but you know, 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.680 when you take a look at say even the Texans game, 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.120 you know we had him right where we want him 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.000 when we want the two yard line. We had to 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.559 do with drive down nine their yards and score. Oh 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.000 did the Cowboys do that? The Cowboys did that. Dak 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.000 Prescott quarter Scott did that. I believe he went like 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.080 four or for four on that drive. And CD Bill 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.720 was starting when he got in his car, thinking, oh, 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:58.839 this has been over reaction. Read one game right. As 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.400 a matter of fact, in that game last year against 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.640 Tampa Bay, Dak Prescott out played Tom. He threw for 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:11.840 more yards um, he had fewer interceptions, he had more 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.720 total yards in the game, and it had nothing to 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.000 do with the running game. And his quarterback reading was 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:23.199 one on one four to Brady's nine seven points in Tampa. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:28.480 They did that on grass, none of God's on God's green. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.719 And it was good grass because it was September, right, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:37.200 was painted stuff. Okay, So since it's a Monday game, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.959 I assume that they've given the Cowboys an extra day 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.560 off this week, the players are having extra day off 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.440 and so this this Wednesday is a Tuesday. Is that right? 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.880 It's not, No, it's not. You can tell. It's playoffs. 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.120 It's the bonus day. And there are a lot of 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.320 people out there who said they needed a bonus day 0:13:55.360 --> 0:14:00.560 of work. They won't. Oh that's right, they're tired.

I wish it was. 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:40.639 That would be fun. They need somebody. We used to 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.480 do it. We used to do it right. Out here 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.920 and the young lady that left. You know, we used 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.000 to do that out here and we had a good time. 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.800 Everybody was out there the stadium, I'm sorry the field 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:56.360 for the playoffs. It was for just regular season games, 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.680 championship plaza. Yes, yes, sir, we did that at least 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.879 three time time. I don't know were they're gonna have 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.359 it at the big stadium this time. This is the 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:09.640 playoffs as the difference at try all right, So Mickey, uh, 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:14.199 do we have a any idea of where things stand 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.280 with the injured players as we kick off this week? 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.440 According to Mike mccarthur, everybody is slated to begin practice 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:27.040 today for whatever they do today that everybody's supposed to 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:33.520 be in Tyler Beatish, Jonathan Hankinson, Lake Layton Vander esh 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.960 and Duran Bland. I think those are the four main 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.879 guys that they need back on the field. To me, 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.760 the most important one obviously after last week. I think 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:49.880 that getting back into funny about that, since a lot 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.520 of people to start the season wanted him out of here, 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.000 didn't think he was good enough to play in the league. 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:59.480 I saw him play for one year after after seeing 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.240 an offense line. I think he's the only candidate. They 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.399 can't play center well on this team, well, at least 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.680 everybody else could go back where they're supposed to be. 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.600 That's the key thing. Uh. And so it looks like 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.680 if all goes well, and you'll probably find out more 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:21.280 after they put the pads on either Thursday or Friday. Um, 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.520 so there will not be a practice report today because 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.520 it's Tuesday. It's a Monday game, right, they don't need 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.240 to they don't do Yeah, I think that's right. I 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:36.639 think that's right. Yes. So, Uh that bodes well. Uh, 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:41.240 and especially uh well to get Layton back out there 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.880 at linebacker. You know, everybody worries about him being out 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.160 there to call the plays. Everything can call the plays. 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.439 He's got a helmet on with a little speaker in 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:55.320 it or hearing aid. Uh, it's a matter of once 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.520 you get and you see what they're doing and they 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.960 turn that thing off end. That guy's got to be 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.920 able to make adjustments or read what's going on. With 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:12.480 his experience of playing inside. Damon Clark's got what eight 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.760 games of NFL experience. Anthony Bars used to be in 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.200 more on the line of scrimmage, not behind the line 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:24.000 of scrimmage and having to read things. So yeah, I 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.080 think that was a huge loss. That should help the defense. 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.520 Hankins if he's healthy enough ready to go. I don't 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.560 know how many snaps to just take up some space 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:40.199 and keep those offensive linemen off the Cowboys linebackers and 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:42.960 have another guy in there. They got to pay attention 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:47.600 to other than Michael Parsons and depending where he lines up, 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:52.480 So I must admit very aggressive game now. Actually, he 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:56.240 and Chauncey Gholston, who was a defensive end, and they 0:21:56.320 --> 0:22:00.520 moved him inside and he played much more inside these 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.480 last couple of games, and they're really happy with what 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:05.119 they've seen. And you know what, the other day, he 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:09.320 walked by me and I'm going, man, he's big. I 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.159 didn't because when he came here he was built. I 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.880 thought more like a defensive end, right, but I think 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:20.679 he's grown into like a three technique defensive grown. That 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:23.760 means he's been eating well probably I bet he's twenty 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:29.760 pounds than I'm guessing that at Yeah, yeah, you got 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.520 to have that. That base is Nate Newton, and Frisco 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.400 always likes to tell me he had what eleven tackles 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:39.040 in the game. By the day, I think it was 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:42.920 what it was, I can tell you is that what ghost? Yeah? 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:49.720 And oh Dicka Zoo it wasn't far behind. Oh Dicka 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.840 Zoo had seven tackles in the game and Gholston had 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:58.320 eleven tackles twenty two snaps and according to the game 0:22:58.320 --> 0:22:59.879 book anyway, I don't know what. I don't know what. 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.520 The Cowboys coaches great in the film, the game was 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:10.800 pretty good at that point, so that's pretty impressive. But 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.640 then again, against Sampa Bay, they didn't ever run the ball, 0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.560 so there won't be any tackles for the think they're 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.879 going to have to run the ball too. If they 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.640 come out just throwing the ball. I think that gives 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.280 us a better chance to win. I truly do if 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:27.160 when it's the teams that run on us and keep 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.400 us off balance, keep us honest, those are the ones 0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:33.159 that we have problems with in the playoffs, and if 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.320 you're going to be a successful playoff team, that's how 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.560 you should approach it offensively well. In the season opener, 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.159 they ran it thirty three times for one hundred and 0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:46.040 fifty two yards with a healthy Leonard four nette yes 0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:50.159 and two of the runs that kind of heard him 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:54.639 at times. They did the jet sweep with Julio Jones. Yes, 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:57.199 and he didn't play for six weeks after that, right 0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:00.920 because he was he was so old four, he wasn't 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:04.240 ready for that. Ye had three catches for sixty nine yards. Yeah, 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:06.959 it went. Did you get four nas numbers? Twenty one 0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:09.399 carries one hundred and twenty seven yards and that was 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:13.960 coming off of being thirty pounds overweight coming into training camp. Boy, 0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.479 it looked like a beast in that game. And uh, 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:24.119 it seems like it's so long ago. It seems like. Um, 0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:29.280 and remember Brady missed, you know, a week or two 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:34.719 in training camp coming into that game, two or three. Yeah. So, 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:38.040 and they had offensive line problems too, they see, Yeah, 0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:41.000 they didn't have any problems in that opener. They scored 0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:45.879 nineteen points. Would you take nineteen points Monday night? I 0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.680 will take your chances. Think the Cowboys can get to twenty? 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:54.520 I do, I do. I agree, I think we I 0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:59.080 think there's been an overreaction to the Washington game. Um, 0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:04.920 those things happened, we know they happened. And the offensive 0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.600 line was not the offensive line you are hoping to 0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:10.320 put out there this Monday night. The one that's been 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:13.200 carrying us the whole season. Right, You talked about it 0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.760 going into that they carry Cooper rush into all the victories, 0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:20.439 right and continue to protect Dak and put up all 0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:22.480 the points that we have. So the only guy missing 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:28.119 is Terrence Steele. And you just hope that Tyrann Smith, 0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:33.560 this will be I think it's fifth start at right tackle, 0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.960 will be more in tune to speed rushers than he was. Yeah, 0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:41.320 he was not having a good time last week. I 0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:44.119 don't know the speed rushers weren't slowed down by the grass, 0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:46.439 That's all I know. And we were we were talking 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:51.480 about it yesterday. How I know he's gonna continue to 0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:56.320 press that issue. I said, all I know is and 0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.439 what you said yesterday, and we didn't mention it on 0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:02.880 the show. Dak Scott was seeing ghosts, There's no doubt 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:06.239 about it. He was. He was imagining things that he 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:09.359 knew was there, but they were a little bit further 0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:11.959 away than he had expected, and he was trying to 0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:15.679 get passes off with no follow through. It was with 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:18.880 a panic, you know, And you can't rush those kind 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:25.240
