This is Mick Shots, and oh, how 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:42.120 we missed you the last forty eight hours is Mickey 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.360 was doing his annual community service yesterday and we didn't 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.599 have a show yesterday, and oh he's frowning now. Everson 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:55.320 is here with his grambling on Mickey and Bill vest 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.320 by the way, yeah, it's been thirty six. Well it's 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:04.800 been my day. Yeah. I missed Monday show because we 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:09.440 had the Landry Awards ceremony and I had prep work 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.480 I had to do. You missed the victory song? I tried, 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.559 I did. I thought about that walking in the door 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.600 today that I missed the victory song. So maybe we 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.480 need We are stampeding into a new week as the 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:27.640 Cowboys hit the practice field today and a little different 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.640 schedule as the head coach will be addressing the media 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.200 later at three o'clock this afternoon, but we were in 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.520 the locker room already. You are in the locker room 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.840 afore we get to the nuts and bolts. Since you 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.280 didn't have an opportunity, you want to give us your 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:46.640 impression of that big victory over the Texas to win 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.760 the state championship, which kicked off State championship week. As 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.880 a matter of fact, the rest of the state championship 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.120 games are now getting underway with six man football going 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.360 on right now at AT and T Stadium, the first 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.240 of twelve all straight games over the next four days. 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:06.200 But it all kicked off with State Championship game number one, 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.400 and it was the Cowboys winning another state title over 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:15.200 the Houston Texans. And your thoughts when the Cowboys had 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.000 the football at the two yard line in the final 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.200 minutes of that game, you know what thought crossed my mind? 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.160 I said, well, if Baker Mayfield can do this without 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.720 a practice, Prescott can do this. That did not run 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.720 across my mind at all. First, Baker Mayfield did it 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.360 without a time out and without a practice in the 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.320 last forty seconds of the game. Surely Dad could have 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.880 done that three times over. It was my emotion was 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.080 swinging because I thought the guy had scored before we 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.240 made the goal line stance, and so that's what got me. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.200 So I was I was already in a negative mindset, 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.080 but of course winning when we made the stop, and 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.520 all of a sudden, I'm a little bit more. So 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.760 you're telling me there's a chance we can win this game. 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.160 Football team, and they did. They acted like a football 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.320 team in the last three minutes of the game. And 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:18.360 my point was, since you brought up Baker Mayfield when 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.240 he did it ninety eight yards for a touchdown, they 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.040 threw a parade. Oh man, Dac did it. It was 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:30.600 like they stole they stole the win, that's right. Yeah. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.120 In fact they showed was these touchdown they I really 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.040 really talk about the drive. It was like, oh, and 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.960 then the Cowboys going to the end. And in fact, 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.560 I heard a I don't even remember who it was, 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.240 but it was a national sports talk show the next day, 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.320 and he was talking about how great the Eagles are playing, 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.040 and the Eagles got the NFC all wrapped up now 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.480 and the Cowboys and he and then he said, and 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.880 you got the Cowboys, they're struggling, and like what after 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:04.400 they had just barely beat in Detroit. If I'm not mistake, right, 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.000 So yeah, and did he not watch the Cowboys for 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.960 the previous four weeks, you know, the previous month where 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.120 they're averaging thirty six points a game or whatever it is, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.800 and so and then they scored twenty seven and they're struggling. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.760 That's right, that's right. Yeah, we've been getting a lot 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.320 of that. Finally you've got some pundits. Who are they? 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.200 Actually I think it was Booger And how he got 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.839 that name, that is really something I only want to 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:37.040 think about. But considering he was the only one to say, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.640 give Dak his flowers, and that's a nice term that 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.599 the young people use now, give him his flowers because 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.279 he did what he did. He said if that would 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.680 have been Joe Burrow, if that would have been Tom Brady, 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.960 then we would have been talking about how amazing and 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:57.400 clutch that drive was. So that's the difference, you see. Well, 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.359 and then the difference also as far as a what 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.480 was then a one ten and one now a one 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.120 eleven and one Texans team being able to be in 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.120 that position at the end of the game. It goes 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.800 back to if you muffle punt, they recover. If you 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:16.159 turn the football over then this thing and even out 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:17.880 in a hurry. These are grown That's what I was 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.760 talking about the day before yesterday's bags and I would talk. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.000 I'm like, these are grown men. You know, They're not 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.799 like college kids who you know, eighteen year old sophomores 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.000 and things of that day. These are grown men who 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.520 have families to feed, so I can play ball. How 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.119 about number five for them, a rookie out of Baylor, 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:38.599 Jalen Petrie. Yeah, I mean that kid can play. And 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.800 the reason he's a big twelve defensive Player of the 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.040 Year last year for Baylor, and the reason that Baylor 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.080 went six and six this year. They don't have guys 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.320 like him on the team anymore. But you know, those 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.080 are the things. And the Texans happened. How about the 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.000 way Malie Collins played with the Texans. Yes, and you 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.839 know he played well here too. It just they couldn't 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.880 afford him, right exactly. They had to pick and choose. Yeah, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.560 who keep They've got a really good left tackle and 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.920 Larry Me Tunsil too. Yeah, it has played well all year. 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.839 And I think I think McCarthy after the game mentioned 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:16.320 maleaku uh and whoever did the trans they put Davis 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.160 in parentheses. They didn't understand it. It was talking about 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:25.039 Collins As. Yeah, and it's like this guy ball and 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.359 you know this was their super Bowl. They were playing 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.679 the Cowboys their state championship. That it was their super 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:40.120 bowl in Texas, the state championship. Yeah. I wish we 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.360 had the in house feed. I could watch you want 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.720 to watch, especially at and T Stadium. So did they 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.880 play on the whole field? Yeah? I was gonna asks, 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.920 but is that why you know they bring the it's 0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:01.160 ten yards in so so it's five yards five Okay, okay, 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.480 what do they do rope it off? No, they have 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.520 they have like a line watching it right now. It's 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:12.320 Benjamin against Lorraine Benjamin. Have you ever been to Benjamin, Texas? Benjamin? 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.320 It's one one fourteen, headed right out to Lubbock. I've 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:20.600 driven through Benjamin many many a time, and I'm surprised 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.679 they have six people, you lap? Okay, So they showed 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.520 their enrollment for their high school forty four kids in 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.240 fourth grad Wow, I think I got pulled over and yeah, yeah, 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.920 well they need the money. Well, they used to have 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.680 a bathroom there. You can stop it between Seymour and 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.640 Dickens and uh used to be able. There was a 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.560 little convenience store, but it got shut down, so that 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.720 I was your favorite. Yeah, you got to hold it 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:55.080 another forty five minutes. Sorry, I asked. That's that's that's 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.960 like a green book for tray journeyman up a journalist. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.760 That's good stuff. That's right. Uh. I just look a 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:08.800 little courthouse there which I found out abou all right, 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.600 so right, you know, uh, here's the way I would 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.160 like to set the table as the Cowboys are back 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:20.120 to work today. Just like I mentioned, this National pundit 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:25.040 had the Eagles already winning the number one seed in 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:30.200 the NFC. Basically, okay, look at things now with four 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:34.000 games left in this season, and look at the Cowboys. 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.439 Look at the Eagles. If and we're looking at now 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:42.440 with a Thursday night game after Thanksgive, we are a week, 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.120 two weeks in a day away from the Cowboys having 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.760 played in the next three games. Okay, if the Cowboys 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:53.040 win those three games, we are basically going into the 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.520 last week of the regular season, and the Cowboys have 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.839 a chance to have the number one seed in the NFC. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.120 If you if you look at it, the Eagles and 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:08.480 I've had it called up, I've got to find it. Um, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:14.240 the Eagles schedule. Oh, I wrote it down, I write it. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.520 Do you want their schedule? Thank you? Yeah? At Chicago, Okay, 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.560 they're at Chicago this week. Yeah, Then at Dallas at Dallas, 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.719 and they play at home against New Orleans and then 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.760 the Giants and the Giants and Giants is at home. Correct. Okay. 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.440 But if let's say it plays out where the Cowboys 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.960 win their next three the Eagles win their other two 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.480 games and lose to the Cowboys, the Cowboys are now 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.480 one game behind the Eagles going into the last week 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.200 of the regular season, and the Eagles are hosting a 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.600 Giants team that likely will be needing a win to 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.160 make the playoffs and against and the Cowboys will be 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:57.800 playing at Washington r If the Eagles were to lose 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.600 to the Giants, the Cowboys will have the high breaker 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.840 on the Eagles. They will split head to head, and 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.920 they will have a better division record than what the 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:10.240 Eagles have, and they also have a better they have 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.280 the head to head tiebreaker over Minnesota, which is another 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.319 team that might be in contention for that number one 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.680 spot in the playoffs. I mean they're dropping fast, yeah, right, 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.880 But what we're looking at here. If the Cowboys can 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.040 take care of business the next three weeks, we're going 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.080 into that final week of the regular season and there's 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.880 going to be a lot on the line, meaning a 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:36.880 first round buy in the playoffs for both teams. Yeah yeah, 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.280 and who we're bringing in Washington, there might be a 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:44.800 playoff game available further Washington. That's right, exactly. The Giants 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.360 have it pretty tough too. You want to know their schedule. Yes, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.960 they're at Washington this week, then they go to Minnesota, 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.200 and then they play Indianapolis at home, and then they're 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:59.040 at Philly. So all right, so all the cow did. 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.760 A pundit point out all the Cowboys needed to do 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.760 was win this game against Jacksonville and they clinch the playoffs. No, no, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.839 that was the Cowboys are struggling. That was part of 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.760 the pundit says, the Cowboys are struggling. Are they're they're 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:21.640 excited about? Um? The Cowboys failing down the stretch? Um? 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.640 And there should always do you know at the end 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.560 of the sea. And there's an r in there. That's 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.480 very possible too, by the way, because if Seattle loses 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.880 to the forty nine ers, Okay, I thought you said 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:39.240 an ort and Detroit loses, Detroit loses to the Jets, 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.080 that's a possibility, then they clinch no matter what they 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.599 do on Sunday in jackson We're not interested in that though. No, No, 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.600 we're interested in winning at Jacksonville, keeping things interesting for 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.240 and getting Christmas Eve, getting this struggling team back on track. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.080 That's right. Yeah, And you know, but one thing I 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.640 am concerned about once again is the matuity. You know, 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.040 we aren't. They were there, you know, in regards to 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.640 taking care of business and having all the breaks go 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:10.560 your way, um, not hurting ourselves in certain situations. And 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:15.280 we have through in this game, I'd say, through all 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:19.080 facets of the game. We kind of put ourselves behind 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.000 the eight ball. No sacks by anyone. I think they said, 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.800 that's the first time did you mention something this year? Weird? 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.280 I have to go back to next year to see 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.720 you lead the league in sacks. You lead the league 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.680 in sacks and coming to a game and get no sacks, 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.600 I don't think. I think that's like some type of 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:45.120 odd you know, milestone nobody wants to be part of. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.240 So what you want is consistency down the line, and 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.160 that's what everyone's excited about Philly. They're showing a little 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:57.080 bit more consistency. They're blowing out who they should blow out. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.000 And you know, even with the Giants game they won 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.760 in New York that was pretty impressive. And the way 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.800 that they won in New York, I think the Giants 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.840 right now they're just as they're defeated team as well. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.080 You talk about dropping like flies, the Giants are dropping 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.000 real hard, just like the Vikings. When you saw how 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.599 the secondary played, I mean, you know those balls that 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.080 were going up in the air. First of all, you 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.839 have wide receivers that were all by themselves. People have 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.800 fallen down. The other was even when they converge on 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.040 the ball, you know, they act like they had blinders on. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.800 So they looked a lot like the incompetent secondary that 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.600 the Cowboys showed during the worst times of last night. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.920 I think the Giants are just being exposed for what 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.600 they are. I give them credit for being able to 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.360 do what they did at the beginning of the season, 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.319 but they weren't winning games convincingly. But I meant they 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.520 did win games. And it started started with their first 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.760 game of the year against Tennessee when they decided to 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.360 go for two with the minute left, and then they 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.920 rolled that to a win over the Panther lost to 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.320 the Cowboys, they won by eight over the Bears, by 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.960 five over the Packers, and a good win against the 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:12.120 Ravens by four, Jacksonville by six, and then starts a 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:16.680 run of loss to the Seahawks, beat the Texans, lost 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.600 to the Lions, lost to the Cowboys, tied the Commanders, 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.400 lost to the Eagles, and now they're sitting there playing 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.240 Washington this week, don't yeah, yeah, And so they have 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.280 now what is it, one win since October twenty third 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.600 for the Giants. So I think that's when Dave Ball 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.320 was doing all the pumping. We got them, and while 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.680 Washington has been going in the other direction. And uh, 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.920 and to your point on the Eagles, they've been winning 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:51.520 convincingly most weeks, although they have had um a couple 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.920 of games where they've had to squeak back. Yes, it 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.240 could have gone either way with those those the score 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.600 comes out with two score win, but you know, during 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.520 that time it was really tight. It could have gone 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.720 either way. And Eagles lost to Washington thirty two to 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.840 twenty one on November fourteenth, and then the next week 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:12.560 at Indianapolis was the game where Hurts scored on the 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.680 quarterback draw to win at seventeen six. Everybody knew he 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.480 was going to run the ball, that's right to just 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.520 let him go right up to the middle. And since 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.160 then they beat the Packers forty to thirty three, and 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.680 then blew out the Titans and the Giants, and so 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.960 they are on a roll like no team could possibly be. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:36.200 So to emphasize what caught the anomaly that Everson pointed 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.040 out about no sacks for the first time this year, Yes, 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.600 you have to go back to the fifth game of 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.960 last year to find the last time they had no sacks. 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.320 So it was the first time in twenty five consecutive 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.800 games they had. What game was that the Giants? Okay, 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.240 and then they were shut out on sacks in the 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:06.160 opener against Tampa Bay. So it's only three times in 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:11.720 thirty games, so this would have been okay the previous 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:16.320 thirty games. So the last three times the Cowboys had 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.640 been shut out on sacks or what they lost to 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:23.000 Tampa Bay in the season opener, ye, no sacks, no sacks, 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:27.600 and then the Giants no sacks in games last five 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.200 of last year, last year, okay, and that this was 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.160 the third. It's amazing against the Texans. Against the Texas, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.440 did they have their entire starting offensive line in the 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.520 game who had given up thirty three sacks already this year. 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.160 That's okay, But you know what, it was a combination 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.040 of things. Right. You knew they were going to run 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.160 the ball. Everybody knew it. They ran it thirty seven times. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.440 They rolled out the quarterbacks a lot, They threw three 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.560 step drops, just get the ball out, throw it, throw 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.480 it screens. The one time they attempted a deep ball 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.440 and ended up being the touchdown when I don't I 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.440 don't know if anybody got a good look to see 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.880 if the guy stepped out of bounds before he caught 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.159 the caught the ball. But that was it. It was 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.560 get the ball out and then you're running the quarterback. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.560 So that gives you something else to think about. And 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:27.040 the fact that, and I'll stay on this till forever. 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:32.560 You line Micah Parsons up the defensive end every snap 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.240 that he plays, and they're gonna neutralize him because they're 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.560 gonna put two guys over there. If he's at linebacker. 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:47.439 They can't set their offense to take care of him. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:53.200 And I think at one point maybe Dorance Armstrong had 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.360 something going on in that game. I can't remember if 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.920 he stepped out or not. Well, he's got the sprained ankle. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:05.040 I remember when when that happened during the game, because 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:11.159 he ended up playing just thirty snaps forty five of 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:15.879 the of the game. Um, do you think it's because, well, 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.040 he didn't know how well he was gonna play during 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.000 the game. But you know Van Dress ends up with 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.800 fourteen combined tackles. Yeah, I was wondering that was an 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.160 adjustment that he made during the game. Like, Okay, Vandy's 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.679 got taken care of here, then I can move him outside. 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.680 But you're saying it's not the game with Parsons outside. Well, 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.320 and then you also had bar back and your Clark 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:38.760 Casher and Damon Clark has been earning more snaps too, 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.560 and so you feel like you've got more more depth 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.439 there and more more people you want to get on 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.000 the field at linebacker, and so use Parsons where he can. 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.960 I'm okay spotting him, Yeah, because I was gonna say, 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.240 don't make a difference. It makes a difference in the 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.919 ball game when he's on that inspects. Yeah, I know, 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.440 I know what he made no difference to this game. 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:07.359 And but and the other part of it is, though, 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.040 is when you give them the football at the plus 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.000 twenty four yard line, the plus twenty seven yard line, 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.840 and when they at last pick what was it the 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.760 plus four yard line or whatever it was, any team 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.960 in the league is going to have going to be 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:25.520 right in the game all the way to the end. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.600 It wasn't just that they turned it over. It was 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.080 where on the field they turned it over, right where 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.119 they didn't have to go do anything to get in 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:37.200 the end zone. Although you gave them the ball at 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.240 the two and let him go ki a kick a 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:44.359 field goal, right right, right, So all right, we should 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.639 get to the news of the date. Are we going 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:48.359 to do that after the break?

Mickey, Well, there was one number sixteen 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:45.360 in the locker room, t Y Hilton, t Y Hill. 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.280 And he says he's been here for two days and 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.480 he's been going over the offense ten hours a day 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:55.000 for two days, by the way, and he feels like 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.520 if the coaches think he's ready to go, he's ready 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:03.000 to go because he's been working out. So the Cowboys 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.600 have signed a wide receiver who goes by initials team 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:13.400 they are BJ's a matter of fact. As a matter 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.239 of fact. When when they asked him what and I 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:19.840 was impressed with this, What do you bring to this team? 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:25.440 And he said, I bring leadership. I can help with 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:29.400 my knowledge. Didn't mention anything about playing. It was like, 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:33.600 I'm here to help, sort of the Jason Peters approach 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:37.920 to helping the other offensive lineman. Since somebody asked him, 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:42.920 can you still run? And he looked up quizzically and goes, well, absolutely, yeah, 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:47.400 he can't do anything. That's the deal, right uh And 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:52.080 so uh, you know, And I thought it was interesting 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:57.600 also talking to Malate Cooker because he played with them 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.359 at Indianapolis. And by the way, Hooker, you know, he 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.880 played the last game with his hand not in the cast. Well. 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:11.560 Part of his rehab he had his hand immersed in wax, 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.679 so he had like a wax hand and he was 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:20.320 walking around in a plastic bag with it. Right, Yeah, 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.120 it was. It was a mold to some kind of therapy. 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:31.919 And when we asked him about you know, um t y, 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.639 he said, well, I know this. He can catch the 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:40.440 deep ball for us, and he can catch the screen 0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:43.919 and take it to the house. So uh and he 0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:48.080 looked in shape. U it looked like he gained a pound. 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:51.280 One of the reasons he said he decided to take 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:54.320 a break this year after going through last year with 0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:58.920
