WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Almost Falcons 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:07.360 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:17.279 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick Shot 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.400 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:26.400 Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:32.760 and Nicky Spagnola. Hey, and it's the start of week 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.400 number two in the National Football League. It is game 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.519 day once again. It's already Thursday again. We got the 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.720 Browns and the Bengals tonight, and we've got Mickey Spagnola 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:48.320 in the s WBC Mortgage studios, Everson Walls in the 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:55.200 SWC Mortgage Walls Studio, and Mickey's probably Everson. Mickey's probably 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.040 gonna get distracted again because he's got his television on. 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.200 He's talking about what's on the NFL net work right now. Yeah, 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:06.240 he's worried about other teams. He should really concentrate on us, 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.160 the Dallas Cowboys. That's the problem with this organization. Too 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.920 many distractions. I could multitask. Don't you worry about that? 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.400 All right? All right, there's plenty that the Cowboys need 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.720 to multitask about as they get set to play they 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.520 Atlanta Falcons. Have we have we put the rams game 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:30.160 behind us yet, Mickey, Oh, I don't know. I've noticed 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.600 a couple of things once I got to see the 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.320 All twenty two that I thought was pretty interesting on 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.759 why certain plays turned out to the way they did. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.640 But other than that, yeah, I think the team has 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.440 and they've moved on. As Mike McCarthy said the other day, 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.240 you know, after they had their team meeting on Monday, 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:56.320 it was onto the Atlanta Falcons and so you know 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.960 they're practicing right now that they're probably just finishing up. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.200 And one of the screens up here, by the way 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.200 is where they're getting ready to interview Dak Pressco today. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.200 So because remember Thursdays in the locker room was Dak's day. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.280 Wednesday was Zeke's day, and Zeke explained his feed me 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:20.600 tattooed to everybody yesterday. And you know, we'll get the audience, 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.799 I'll get the audio of Dak here when we're finished. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.000 I was thinking, you know, wouldn't it'd be neat while 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.880 that interview is going on on Thursdays with Dak, if 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.120 we can just cut in live and listen to it. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.040 But I don't know if we're allowed. I don't know 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.720 if we're allowed to do that. But I'm going to 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.440 ask probably not, Yeah, probably not. We need to ask 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.959 Chris that one. We need to ask Chris. Can he 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.600 multitask himself? Now? I bet if we needed to, Chris 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.600 could figure it out. It's a matter of if we're 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:57.200 allowed to do it. Well, McCarthy's press conference is live, 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.919 then why not the quarterbacks press conference? That's a good 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:05.840 point streaming live. Yeah, yeah, but speaking of that, I 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.240 was just looking for the problem with if if he 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.640 is going to have his press conference at the same 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.440 time that mix shots is on, that takes away time 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.359 from you, and you do not want to have your 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.400 time taken away, you know, for the quarterback. I'll bend 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:24.880 over backwards. Oh I like that. I like that. I'll 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.720 tell you what, guys, what I saw was a few 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.160 guys getting thrown under the bus. You talked about putting 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:35.080 last week's game behind us. I didn't know that Schultz 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.880 was supposed to be the goat of the game. They 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.640 talked about not just him missing passes, but they also 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:49.640 mentioned that on that infamous fourth down play that he 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.320 didn't run far enough of field to set the pick 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:58.800 for a CD LAMB to get past the line to game. 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:04.040 I hate that the line to game so ceedee Lamb 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.200 did not go get to the line to gain because 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:13.040 Sheltz was too shallow to pick off his defender or 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:20.159 at least screened him a bit. Now where did you get? Hey, man, 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.240 I can't call it out. I have my own Uh well, 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.760 okay there, now, I have my own devices and things 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.599 of that nature. And then I went back and looked 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:34.200 at the play itself, and you could you could put 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:39.479 a little blame there on Shelts, but to the basic yeah, 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.800 I'm with you. Now, I'm with you. I'm with your spags. 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.200 I'm with you. I mean, let's just be real. He 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:48.359 could have UH done a better job of picking, but 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.120 so could everyone else that Dad could have thrown a 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:56.279 better pass. CD still could have uh reached the line 0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:01.320 to gain even with without much extra effort, Right, so 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.440 I see your hands of what? So I finally got 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.520 a chance to see the all twenty two and I 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.200 must have watched that play five times on both shots, 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:17.040 and yes, CD, CD could have taken another step and 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.880 gained the line he cut it across. But two other 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:26.800 things happened. Number one, that Joe Looney missed the help 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:32.520 block on Aaron Donald and Zach Martin got pushed back 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.599 into Dak, and Dak couldn't step up to throw the ball, 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:41.120 and consequently, instead of leading CD as he was crossing 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.760 from left to right, he threw it right at his 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.640 body and CD had to turn and catch the ball 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.400 in his body instead of catching it here. Had he 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.440 been able to lead him, he would have had enough 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.760 momentum to get across Fuller, who did a heck of 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.000 a job of coming across the formation from the safety 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.479 position and coming up and making a heck of a tackle. 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.440 But if those two things would have taken place, either 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.680 CD runs the route a little bit deeper or they 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:17.719 block Aaron Donald. Now he probably didn't get credit for 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.920 a pressure on that, but Dak could not step up. 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.680 He had to stand there flat footed and fling it. 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.359 And that's got to be I'm thinking a tough pass 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.440 for a quarterback across a short distance to lead the 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.480 guy so he can catch it out front. And that 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.359 was one of the reasons why that play, you know, 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.760 didn't work the way they had hoped. And as a 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.000 matter of fact, on the play before it was third 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.480 and six and they hand off to Zeke. Guess who 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:51.640 messed that play up. Aaron Donald once again, and Zach 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.800 Martin had his hands full with Aaron Donald. And on 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.480 that play it looked like Joe Looney was supposed to 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.760 chip and then go get the linebacker. Well, he missed 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.760 the chip, so so Zach was protecting to his right. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.240 I don't know if he's assuming he's going to get 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.040 help to the left, but he didn't get it, and 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.400 that screwed the play up. If they had got that block, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.920 Zeke's gonna score a touchdown because the whole is huge. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.360 It is all you saw. Connor Williams did a job 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.440 on his guy, and if they had gotten that block 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:31.240 on Donald, the linebacker was not going to make that tackle. 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.440 When Zeke fell, he slid. You know, you could tell 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.840 he slid that he slid for about another yard. No 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.880 one was even around him when he fell. Of course, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.000 he was tripped up before he fell. I would have 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.360 to disagree with you a bits bags in regards to 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.440 the defensive back coming up from the safety position. I 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.600 still thought with the momentum that he had, even if 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.120 CD would have if Dak was able to get the 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.880 ball out there a little bit more, CD would have 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.200 had to pull one of his old U miracles and 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:12.480 catch it and at the same time reach forward. That 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.440 would have been a heck of a move to make. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.920 And Bill Bill is a CD man that I am too. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.000 We've seen him do that, of course in college, and 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.000 we know he has the ability. I still think the 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.360 momentum of that collision from that safety still would have 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:33.320 been a tough reach for CD to reach above the 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.839 line to game. I still don't think he would have 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.800 made the play. But the third down play I thought 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.160 was extremely key, and we started talking about this because 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:50.920 of because of Schultz. I look forward to Schultz really 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:55.160 shutting everybody's mouth in regards to how he played this 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.120 past game. This guy's a stud. I think he's a 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.880 stud as well. He enjoyed and almost hit the tat. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.720 I think he can block better than Jawing and I 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.920 look forward to him making up for being the goat 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.040 of the game. And sorry, Bill, we haven't moved on. 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.079 And I noticed one other thing on that play. For 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.440 a split second, and if Everson looked at this, he 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.720 probably saw it. For a split second. Dak was getting greedy. 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.040 He saw the receiver coming out of the slot running 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.079 basically a post and for a split second there. He 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.600 was wide open, and I think he was thinking, I 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:38.280 got a touchdown on this play. And because CD was 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.360 wide open before he threw him the ball, he could 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.920 have thrown that ball to CD a lot sooner before 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:49.240 Fuller broke across the back of the linebackers and came 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.960 up and made that Had he thrown that sooner, he 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.520 would have had the opportunity to turn up a quicker. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.520 But he saw that guy breaking and just when I 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.360 think he was thinking of throwing on it, the linebacker 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.480 got in the way and he didn't have a clear 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.160 shot and then he came back underneath. But they had 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.560 another alternative on that play, and it looked like he 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.800 would have scored. It would have been a touchdown pass 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.000 had he thrown it sooner. So there was a lot 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.360 of other things in that play, in those two plays 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.800 that I saw that that took place. All right, Bill, 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.199 we're moving on. Bill, We're moving on. But moving on. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.040 But to that point where and I'm monitoring it on 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.840 periscope and there's a delay on periscope the video that 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.960 Chris Beam is showing up of the play and you 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.920 can really see it on periscope where the linebackers are 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:42.079 there at the first down sticks, and where CD starts 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.920 his crossing route, he has to start it a yard 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.679 upfield from it because they're guarding that first down line, 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.520 and so it's easy to say that CD needs to 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.800 get further upfield. Well, he can't get further upfield because 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.720 there's two linebackers and then the safety comes up that 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.480 are guarding that first down online on that crossing route 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:07.199 right there. Yeah, And unfortunately, you know, without after the game, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.160 when no one has an opportunity to see those then 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.520 it's like, well, yeah, he should have ran, we should 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.080 have executed better. Well, there was other things that needed 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.920 to be executed better. Uh, and he didn't need to 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:24.400 be executed for running the route short. So there, And 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.439 I watched it again right there, and yeah, I mean 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.400 your knee jerk reaction when you watch it on television 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.720 and you see the result of the play as oh, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.640 he's got to get further down field. Well, then you 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.280 go back and watch it and well, how's he getting 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.920 beyond the sticks running a crossing route when there's three 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:47.160 defensive players right on the where the first down line is. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.360 It's impossible. So yeah, anyway, I guess we'll move on though, right, 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.000 let's move we have to okay. So one of the 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.599 questions on periscope, Mickey, this is from McCarthy's press conference today, 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.000 and it is, what did you think about McCarthy's view 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.760 about pre snap I do that was coming. Why is 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:14.120 this town so enamored with pre snap motion? Right? Pre 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.880 snap motion? They don't do it enough. That's going to 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:21.160 confuse the defense. And I thought his action twenty sixth 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.000 in the league and pre snap motion. They only were 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.920 in pre snap motion four percent of the time against 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.120 the Rams, and they didn't do it enough last year 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.360 and they gained more yards than anybody else in the 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.000 National Football League. Right, that was Garrett's fault. Now it's 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.280 McCarthy's fault. Right, what is it? What the I was 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:46.079 glad that he explained pre snap motion. Basically, he said 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:50.800 it's for two reasons. One to create someone of a nuisance, 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.600 and two, it gives the quarterback a better read on 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.520 what the defense is doing because you're going to see 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.760 if they're in man or zone. And then he went 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.400 on to explain that he did it a lot early 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.079 in his career at Green Bay and then the more 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:10.000 experienced Aaron Rodgers was able to get He could read 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:14.520 the defense quickly himself without having to see motion to 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.120 detect if it's zone or if it's man. And he 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.920 didn't want it anymore. He wanted to read it in 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.640 his zone. And talking to Babe Laffenberg, he said Tony 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.600 Romo hated motion because he felt like he could read 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.360 it as good and they didn't need to waste all 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.640 that time run in motion. And when you get into 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.679 a hurry up offense, there's no motion. You're getting to 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.640 the line and you want to snap. You don't want 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.600 to sit there and go okay, come on, get him 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:46.199 across the motion. No, I don't get why everybody's enamored 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:51.880 with that. Well, you know that's what the Cowboys are 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.880 really known for. Going our way back to Tom Landry, 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.720 you talk about pre snap motion. We had lineman going 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.880 up and down, We had switches, we had doors set 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.760 was going to swing. He and Ron Springs would just 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.680 be going back and forth. They would have about three 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.559 or four or five pre snap reads just before you 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.200 snapped the ball. I mean, that was that was one 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:21.280 of the more outrageous, well outlandish, i'd say outlandish movements 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.960 that that any team ever had that that came from 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.000 the Dallas Cowboy. Maybe that guy was he must be 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.560 in our generation that asked that question. Well, because yeah, 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.280 and so I'll ask you. Ever, so, how many straight 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.640 years did the Cowboys go to the playoffs using pre 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.680 snap motion under Landry? It mustn't wait. It took. It 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.400 took him till nineteen eighty four to we finally didn't 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.120 make it. If I'm not mistaken, So come on, let's 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.760 not start comparing everybody the time lander you get You're 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:55.600 going down a deep rabbit hole with that one. All right, mickey, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.120 before we take this first break, anything else you want 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.560 to get in off the top here from we probably 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.080 need to or anything else. Yeah, we probably need to 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.800 clear up the portion of practice that we were able 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:10.040 to see. Um, there was one guy missing from practice, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.320 and of all people, it was number fifty eight, And 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.800 you're sitting there going, oh, are you kidding me? You know, 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.680 maybe the seventy four of the snaps wore him out, 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.160 but as it turns out, him out. I believe that 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.280 should be true. But apparently, uh, he didn't do a 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.560 good enough job of flossing or brushing his teeth because 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:40.040 he had a dentist appointment. We'll take that work. We'll 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.520 take that work. He deserves a break. I look as 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.040 I look at the game, he had an amazing game. 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.320 Of course, he made some mistakes and we'll talk about 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.040 that a little bit later. But the guy just had 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.200 an amazing game for someone that hadn't played for five 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.000 years and for him to play at that high level 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.400 and and and you could see that he was a 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.480 bit fatigued, but but that that's that's football fatigue to 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.360 where you can still line it up and play the 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.760 next play. He did that time and time again. Pretty 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.080 proud of him. And boy, you talk about a steal, 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.480 Will McClay, he deserves another. If he hadn't had a 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.640 raise already, he deserves another raise for going out and 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.720 finding this guy. Actually, you know that on periscope they're 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:28.120 thanking Jay Glazier for that. Yeah, that's just thank you, 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.880 Jay Glazier and Tom Sula for Alden Smith. Well, Jay Glazier, 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.560 that's where Alden Smith went to do his training, UH 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.600 and not only the physical training but also mental training. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.640 And he runs a kind of a rehab training center 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:51.280 where they athletes and UH and in former military people 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.440 that need to rehab and that's where as a matter 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.160 of fact, as the story goes, Mike McCarthy ran into 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:03.200 Alden Smith at Glaizer training session in December, before he 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.119 even knew he was going to become the Cowboys head coach. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.040 He had gone to la to visit his daughter and 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.159 I don't know if she was working there or working 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.560 out there, but he visited the place and ran into 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.320 Alden Smith. And he kind of told the story when 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.040 he did his first interview after signing with the Cowboys, 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.560 how he kind of ran into Mike McCarthy and he said, 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.719 we just kind of talked, just kind of you know, 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.439 and he goes, I kind of liked the guy. And 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:33.000 one thing after another fell into place. Remember we interviewed 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.199 his agent, Ron Slaven on Mick Shots back in I 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.240 think it was early July, right, and he said yeah, 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.960 and he got a call and said, hey, would would 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.280 you be interesting this guy? So a lot of things 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.760 fell into place, and I would imagine, you know, the 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.760 last thing you would have thought that he would have 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.680 played that many snaps in the first game and then 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.760 be the second guy on the team with twelve tackles, 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.840 the only guy with a sack and by the way, 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.400 his pressure created that interception that Cheeto has to Joe. 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:09.200 And you're right, well you you say pressure, pressure, you 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.480 know it was more of a club to the head. Yeah, 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.639 that's a lot of pressure, right when you get hit 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:19.480 in the head, A lot of pressure. And he admitted 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.919 and it wasn't perfect, and even McCarthy said it. And 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.359 you can see there were some running plays that he 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.600 didn't react correctly on the edge, did not he did 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.440 not contain well. And I'm thinking, God, if he did 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.480 it all right, if he did it all right, he'd 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:39.480 have had twenty tackles. That's true, That's very true. He 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:44.000 would have been Aaron Donald. Yes, all right, all right, 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.879 we continue with more mix shots, and we'd taken up 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.639 close look at these Atlanta Falcons and some key matchups 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.240 when we come back here.

As we continue here on 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:33.359 Mix shots and Mickey, I've got I've got a text 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.959 I need to answer right now for work related to purposes, 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:38.960 and so how do you want me to carry on 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.720 here with a yeah? Why don't you carry it here 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.160 for a couple of minutes. Well, while I take care 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.240 of this little text that I received that I gotta 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:49.399 take talk about multitasking. There you go. That's right. I 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:53.400 can't multitask, So you do your thing. I'm listening while 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.760 I do this. At the injury port that came out yesterday, 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.480 the only guy listed on the Cowboys injury port was 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.919 Jordan who was and it was full practice, so uh, 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:06.120 he should be full go for this week. I would 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:10.000 think the same for Brandon Carr, who was signed off 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:14.960 the practice squad onto the fifty three man roster. Uh so, 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:19.240 and he's been out there, you know, practicing both days 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:23.480 this week with the team. Uh. It looks really good 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:25.640 in the in the drills we get to watch, so 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:31.359 I would imagine they they try to find some rotation 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:36.400 that gets him on the field. And as for Atlanta, 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:40.080 the only significant player that was listed that did not 0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:45.240 practice was Jake Matthews, their starting left tackle. So we'll 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:48.760 see where where that one goes as the week goes along. 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:52.760 But yeah, he was not able to practice, and uh, 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:54.840 you know, they had a couple other guys, but not 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:59.720 really any of the starters to speak of. So both teams, 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:03.160 for you know, the guys that are there now are 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:07.560 pretty healthy. Although I keep seeing that Cowboys injured reserve 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.560 list growing. It's now eight. I think it's started with 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:15.200 three before the first game or so, and now it's 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.840 stretched out to eight. So that's getting to be quite 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.480 a bit. And that's what I think. Ever since, people 0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:24.800 need to understand about salary caps type stuff when they 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.120 see a team and it's like, oh, they got ten 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.920 to twelve million, why don't they spend it. Well, when 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.800 you start getting guys injured, when they go to injured reserve, 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.480 they're still getting paid, but now you got to you 0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:38.639 gotta replace them with somebody else, and that continues to 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.560 eat into your salary caps. So you've got to have 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:44.240 a buffer on that cap. And the Cowboys usually like 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:50.000 to keep about ten to twelve million in buffer just 0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:53.400 for things like that or the ability to maybe pick 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:58.560 somebody up off off the waiver wire. So yeah, so 0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:02.760 from an injury standpoint, in practice today, as they started, 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:07.280 they were in pretty good shape except for Alden Smith. 0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:09.199 And oh, by the way, I can't remember if we 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.359 talked about this yesterday or not, but Randy Gregory is 0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:16.640 on the field now. He was conditionally reinstated and he's 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:21.920 allowed to do conditioning work on the field, his own 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.560
