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. Yeah, Dallas, I was for Joby. You
Speaker 1: must be Friday. It's a victory Friday States means that
Speaker 1: we are kicking. But it's a victory for us. We
Speaker 1: made it. We made it a beautiful day outsides. And
Speaker 1: by the way, since you said that, aren't we glad
Speaker 1: we don't live in Buffalo? Oh man? Okay, let me
Speaker 1: look at the weather Well, look at it. It says
Speaker 1: right there, bills canceled practice due to Buffalo snowstorm. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm going, I'm going to my weather app right now.
Speaker 1: It is thirty four degrees feels like twenty four right
Speaker 1: now in Buffalo, in Buffalo. And remember I talked about
Speaker 1: lake effects. Yes, yeh, there you go, coming from Lake
Speaker 1: Erie right from in Buffalo. Lake effects snow warning. Occasional
Speaker 1: snow likely to continue for the next several hours. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you want to know what I read that? In
Speaker 1: from two o'clock to eight o'clock they had twenty one
Speaker 1: and a half inches of snow already in between those
Speaker 1: six hours. Wow, that is more snow than we've accumulated
Speaker 1: here in Dallas in six years. I was gonna say
Speaker 1: ten years. Six years. Twenty sixteen to twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: we've had seven inches of snow accumulated in Dallas. Fort
Speaker 1: Worth they had twenty three times as much in six hours. Hey,
Speaker 1: they have a video here. Watch wall of snow roll
Speaker 1: into Buffalo A wall wall. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: that looks like. It doesn't do it any justice, and
Speaker 1: it's still coming. It's like a sandstorm probably basically, and
Speaker 1: they love it. Good thing. They moved the game. No,
Speaker 1: they don't want to move again. Well they no, they
Speaker 1: moved the game. The fans want to go there and
Speaker 1: now they can't get there. They moved a game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well the h what was that the the the Lions
Speaker 1: left a note for them, right, oh did they? Yeah?
Speaker 1: They left the note saying please don't break the tables,
Speaker 1: you know, because that's what Buffalo fans do. They do.
Speaker 1: They do the wrestling, moved onto tables with turkey on it,
Speaker 1: and they'll break the tables on the parking lot. I
Speaker 1: saw what they what do they call that? What they
Speaker 1: call them, Chris, They're like, they're the bills Mafia, first
Speaker 1: of mafia. They break tables before they break tables, all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. The Detroit Lions sent out a text after
Speaker 1: the bill said we're moving to Detroit, and Detroit Lions
Speaker 1: sent a tweetout that says, the emergency contact numbers are
Speaker 1: next to the phone. Uh, leave it how it came,
Speaker 1: and please don't break the tables. That sounds like a
Speaker 1: nice you know, it was breakfast. It's like a bread
Speaker 1: and breakfast note or something. And maybe they need to
Speaker 1: leave a note that tell your women on top of
Speaker 1: the RVs not to moon the visiting teams buses on
Speaker 1: the way out. They won't be doing. Nobody be mooning anybody.
Speaker 1: Well they do it leaving me. Don't matter what the
Speaker 1: temperature is, but it is probably gonna be nice and
Speaker 1: well it would be in ull be indoors mid forties here,
Speaker 1: maybe a high of fifty today. As the Cowboys will
Speaker 1: not practice today. They have their little walkthrough mock game
Speaker 1: or whatever on Saturday, and be ready to go on Sunday. Boy,
Speaker 1: I tell you, they are talking trash at this bag,
Speaker 1: so they don't think we have a chance. Brother. This
Speaker 1: is the SWBC podcast studio for Mick Shots, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola, Bill Jones joined us one day this week
Speaker 1: and then he had to be called out of town
Speaker 1: for at least he's healthy though, right, Oh yeah, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: And he's going to join us on the phone as
Speaker 1: we get going here over this next forty five minutes
Speaker 1: on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. And I guess we should
Speaker 1: start with somewhat of an injury update for Friday. It's
Speaker 1: the good news is it looks like uh Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: should be ready to go to go. He's been limited
Speaker 1: in practice these last two days, but he said he
Speaker 1: has returned from practice feeling no ill effects of the
Speaker 1: knee injury that he sustained. And he at that at
Speaker 1: at least Thursday afternoon, was planning on playing on Sunday.
Speaker 1: And I think Mike McCarthy thought that they'll probably list
Speaker 1: them as questionable, but uh, he should be good to go.
Speaker 1: So that's good news. Uh Anthony, I thought he could
Speaker 1: have played last He felt like after the practice on
Speaker 1: Thursday he didn't feel as good on Friday, and then
Speaker 1: he said that, you know, thinking long term, let's not
Speaker 1: damage it anymore. Uh. And I think the next week
Speaker 1: of practice he was taken snaps. Uh those these last
Speaker 1: two days. Same thing for Anthony Barr with the strained
Speaker 1: hamstring limited the past two days, but he was able
Speaker 1: to get snaps in, so that's a good thing. I
Speaker 1: think the two concerns right now would be Anthony Brown.
Speaker 1: Today was supposed to be the day that he could
Speaker 1: get out of concussion protocol, and he said that he
Speaker 1: has felt no ill effects these last couple days or
Speaker 1: through the week, so he feels like he should be
Speaker 1: able to play, but he's got to pass the whatever
Speaker 1: test the independent doctor gives him, and that would be today.
Speaker 1: But he said that this CONCUSSI He's had one other
Speaker 1: concussion and this one didn't seem as severe as the
Speaker 1: other one. And he didn't miss a game that time. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he felt good. Somebody said, so would you push it?
Speaker 1: He goes, what do you mean? Because I got a
Speaker 1: family and kids. I'm not faking. I'm not like trying
Speaker 1: to fake it to and go play with a concussion.
Speaker 1: So he yeah, he was pretty he was pretty good
Speaker 1: and pretty that should be. That should be a good
Speaker 1: answer for a lot of questions that come from the media. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a family of kids, man, Yeah, yeah, don't
Speaker 1: answer these questions. And then the somewhat worry. Although DeMarcus
Speaker 1: Lawrence said that he felt like he would be able
Speaker 1: to play, he has not practiced the last two days.
Speaker 1: And he went on to say it's not only both feet,
Speaker 1: but his knee too is sore. And he said that
Speaker 1: just comes from wear and tear. And he said the
Speaker 1: knee might feel worse than the feet. Uh. And then
Speaker 1: somebody said, is it the foot that you injured last year?
Speaker 1: Memory had surgery for the fractured fifth metatarsal and he goes, well,
Speaker 1: you know it's sore. I got two screws in there still,
Speaker 1: so uh. And then somebody said he fractured it. I'm
Speaker 1: going if you fractured your fifth metatarsal again, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: not walking around the way right way. Yeah, you would
Speaker 1: be in a boot. I remember how painful it was.
Speaker 1: You know what I think about d law I think
Speaker 1: we really need him, yes in this game. And as
Speaker 1: I think about all the running plays that we've given up,
Speaker 1: the big running plays, right, they all seem to go
Speaker 1: away from him. It's the other way. It's the other way. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and he's probably on that defensive line their best run
Speaker 1: defense is he's very smart. He sees keys and he
Speaker 1: plays those keys perfectly, and he can chase the rundown
Speaker 1: from the back side. Right. That's that's where I think
Speaker 1: he's most valuable, and he'll set an edge on that side.
Speaker 1: But if you look at where those toss suites away
Speaker 1: right there, going right to the Cowboys, left to the offense.
Speaker 1: Uh and right now, Lawrence has thirty eight tackles. Uh
Speaker 1: he is one two, one two three fifth and he's
Speaker 1: one tackle from fourth. He's got thirty eight. Jay Ryan
Speaker 1: Curse has thirty nine. Uh. He also, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: has five sacks two uh so, five tackles for losses,
Speaker 1: nineteen quarterback pressures too, that second on the team to
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons twenty eight. He also has two forced fumbles.
Speaker 1: That's two fumble recovery. That's solid. So that's more than solid. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a pretty freaking amazing. They have to
Speaker 1: tape everything off him. Back on. We have really talked
Speaker 1: about what has not been going on with this defense.
Speaker 1: D Laws, what's happening good for this defense? Yeah? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: And so if everybody else can play as uh, solid,
Speaker 1: solid and efficient as he has, then they would certainly
Speaker 1: be Man, I'm glad we brought that up. I'm glad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like one of those unknown things. Well, we expect
Speaker 1: that from him because he's you know, when it's quiet
Speaker 1: over there, that means that d Law is doing his
Speaker 1: job right. Absolutely, so, uh that that part of it, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, if he can get out there, that's certainly
Speaker 1: encouraging for this defense to make somewhat of a comeback
Speaker 1: after after what happened last week. Impressive and you know,
Speaker 1: and it's not And I understand two o seven and
Speaker 1: two forty, but I think, as we've talked about before,
Speaker 1: if you look at UH, and I think I pointed
Speaker 1: this out yesterday the games they've lost, Tampa Bay rushed
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty two, the Eagles rushed for
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty six, and the Packers rushed for
Speaker 1: two oh seven. Do you see a common thread there?
Speaker 1: I do. So that's something that certainly UH needs to improve.
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you I think as I think Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy said, the Vikings will be running the ball as
Speaker 1: soon as they get off the bus. They will. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're going to tell him, right, even though they have
Speaker 1: a very prominent passing game, even though they have Justin
Speaker 1: Jefferson and Adam Feeling and now Hockinson tight end that
Speaker 1: they got to play again by the way after he
Speaker 1: was traded. Uh, yeah, that's a that's a pretty They'll
Speaker 1: have a pretty formidable running game. They averaged four and
Speaker 1: a half yards a carry and Delvin Cook averages five.
Speaker 1: So so you take away that eighty you there, right,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, Yeah, it's probably still very respectable accounts. And
Speaker 1: he's got six Russia respect two y right, very respectable. So, um,
Speaker 1: it's more I think they're more of a complete offense.
Speaker 1: Maybe the quarterback has his moments, right um, either way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys beat him last year twenty to sixteen,
Speaker 1: and um didn't have Dak in that game. That was
Speaker 1: a Cooper Russians defense was playing and then playing better, right,
Speaker 1: I mean they held they held Jefferson, Justin Jefferson to
Speaker 1: two catches for twenty one yards last year, and I
Speaker 1: think that was a lot of digs. Yes, it was,
Speaker 1: and that's going to be a lot of He will
Speaker 1: have his hands full in this game too. Now it
Speaker 1: helps if Anthony Brown gets back. Otherwise you've got Kelvin
Speaker 1: Joseph with very little experience on the outside, and again
Speaker 1: durn Bland in the slot. What you what I worry
Speaker 1: about with Brown is, first of all, he you know,
Speaker 1: I've been there before. Sometimes man, they just get the
Speaker 1: jump on, you know, the wide receiver gets you. But
Speaker 1: there seems to be a pattern with the Cowboys whenever
Speaker 1: we have problems defensively, it's because of Brown giving up
Speaker 1: a deep pass. You know, that always seems to be
Speaker 1: the thing that is more difficult to overcome. The Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay game, you know, we were trying to hang in there,
Speaker 1: trying to hang in there, get things going. He gives
Speaker 1: up the bomb to Julio, Right, Joe. That's the kind
Speaker 1: of saying that we need you to be solid on
Speaker 1: every level so that we as a team can be
Speaker 1: can overcome whatever our deficiencies are. And there's all whenever
Speaker 1: we can't overcome something, the ingredient at times is Brown
Speaker 1: giving up a deep pass but not making up for
Speaker 1: it throughout the game. So you have to give it
Speaker 1: up all you want. I did it my rookie year.
Speaker 1: But you have to make up for that some kind
Speaker 1: of way throughout the ball. Throughout the ball. And I
Speaker 1: want to say, even though he probably has the second
Speaker 1: most interceptions on the team, if I remember correctly, he
Speaker 1: uh no, I take that back. I thought he had
Speaker 1: a Well he doesn't have one. I thought maybe, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking probably him and Diggs has three Bland, one hooker one. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, or so if they see that, what
Speaker 1: about a safety helping out? Maybe, well that was a
Speaker 1: safety him if not not mistaken on that play, But
Speaker 1: I think he got looked off right, And it's just
Speaker 1: hard to get best special on you or single safety,
Speaker 1: single safety. High You got to make a decision. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna get over there, you're still gonna be late,
Speaker 1: but they won't be a touchdown, right because if you're
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, there's no way you're
Speaker 1: getting to the sideline. I have to I have to
Speaker 1: save Perry Williams on James Lofton in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But I read that right away and still couldn't get there.
Speaker 1: I was able to knock him by the bounds, but
Speaker 1: you know, in order to make a play on that
Speaker 1: as a as a single high safety, you have to
Speaker 1: almost anticipate rights going right away. See, and then that's
Speaker 1: that that becomes also problematic from not being able to
Speaker 1: stop the run and maybe putting the safety down in
Speaker 1: the box to stop the run. And now you only
Speaker 1: got one. That's exactly why it was like that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I mean because if you could play two over
Speaker 1: the top, then you got some help with Jefferson and
Speaker 1: whoever is on the other side. Tampa took advantage of
Speaker 1: it in that same way. We couldn't stop the jet suite,
Speaker 1: We couldn't stop the run right and we had to
Speaker 1: bring safety down and that's when they beat him with
Speaker 1: Julio Julio Jones over the top. It'll be interesting to
Speaker 1: see how they play the run when and I don't
Speaker 1: know how much Minnesota goes to tight ends, but you
Speaker 1: know in some of the previous games when teams went
Speaker 1: to tight ends, they played three linebackers. Yes, vander Esh,
Speaker 1: Parsons and bar And so we'll see with him. It
Speaker 1: looks like he's back and I can't imagine he'll miss
Speaker 1: this game after having played there for what eight years?
Speaker 1: You can't you can't make a hamstring. Yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 1: Even though you I want to play this game and comestring,
Speaker 1: it cannot happen. But what we saw last year. We
Speaker 1: didn't have three linebackers last year. No, we did not.
Speaker 1: We had Java hun right and so, but that still
Speaker 1: gives me pause because whenever we were weak against San Francisco,
Speaker 1: we were weak, even going back two years ago when
Speaker 1: it was horrible and we were like the worst run
Speaker 1: defense ever. That was because we didn't have another line
Speaker 1: back to put in and we were playing a nickel
Speaker 1: right against two tight ends right, three tight end off
Speaker 1: and one of them was Jalen Smith. Hey man, he
Speaker 1: got an interception? I think? No this wait, yes, I
Speaker 1: believe he got an inception. Yes he did. He got
Speaker 1: in some type of turnover. So I saw him celebrating
Speaker 1: in the ENDZ wow, Okay, I thought the bat. I
Speaker 1: didn't see any interceptions here. I'll tell you that I
Speaker 1: didn't see many tackles either. All right, Well, we're hoping
Speaker 1: that Bill will join us soon. We'll just take our
Speaker 1: first right now. We Well, we covered a lot of
Speaker 1: ground right on victory Friday, and that victories for us

Speaker 1: maybe we'll see he had to go out of town,
Speaker 1: so we'll we'll keep trying to pull him in. I
Speaker 1: saw interesting stat and I kind of thought this by
Speaker 1: just kind of browsing, the are casually paying attention to
Speaker 1: the Viking scores. Ok So seven of their eight victories
Speaker 1: one score games. If you count eight as one score,
Speaker 1: obviously you got to get the two point a conversion.
Speaker 1: They've only won one game by more than one score,
Speaker 1: and that was the season opener against the Packers, and
Speaker 1: I think Jefferson got off that game. If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: They won't beat the Packers twenty three to seven in
Speaker 1: the season open which, by the way, did you catch
Speaker 1: the Packers? I caught them last night, Remember I told
Speaker 1: you I saw the little headline and the underneath one
Speaker 1: of the TV shows about will the Packers make the playoffs? No,
Speaker 1: just because they beat the Cowboys, that's it. Everybody think
Speaker 1: they got momentum going. They just don't realize they didn't
Speaker 1: beat us. We lost that game. Yeah, that's and Tennessee
Speaker 1: didn't you know, stub their toe? They didn't. They just
Speaker 1: when it was time to score the touchdown to put
Speaker 1: the game away. They scored the touchdown, right, And they
Speaker 1: didn't do it necessarily running the ball either. No, I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, but twenty eight carries for not even a
Speaker 1: hundred yards for Henry Right. But yet we've got our
Speaker 1: homeboy at Tannehill, Texas homeboy, Texas homeboy at Tanny it
Speaker 1: goes for three plus, three hundred and thirty plus. If
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, I think you're right. I didn't look
Speaker 1: it up. So when you when you talk about that,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why I can You can never predict
Speaker 1: a game and expect for that to hold up. Right,
Speaker 1: things are gonna happen during the ball game. If you
Speaker 1: go back over some of the Super Bowl wins and
Speaker 1: even the Super Bowl seasons, there were times when Troy
Speaker 1: Aikman couldn't hit them, He couldn't no one could catch
Speaker 1: a pass, no one could throw a pass. There were
Speaker 1: moments when that happened actually from that Super Bowl team
Speaker 1: during that Super Bowl season. So I just go get
Speaker 1: so tired of people making these predictions and so surprised
Speaker 1: when they don't come through, and then they blame the
Speaker 1: guy right that they were rooting for to make their
Speaker 1: predictions come true. Now everyone's mad at Josh Allen. Now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's not the reigning MVP, you know.
Speaker 1: Now he's the guy that's been blowing it. Oh, now
Speaker 1: who leads the league and interceptions? Now, Josh Allen? Right?
Speaker 1: You see? Yeah, Now all of a sudden he was MVP.
Speaker 1: MVP couldn't be beating the Buffalo Bills are gonna go.
Speaker 1: I'm scathed into the super Bowl. And I said it
Speaker 1: on this this show. Things are going to change so
Speaker 1: often this season, and it's gonna start getting worse as
Speaker 1: we get closer to the holidays. And it comes down
Speaker 1: to making plays when you got to make them right now, see,
Speaker 1: And this week it's been I mean, Dak Prescott had
Speaker 1: to ask questions yesterday about does he feel like he's
Speaker 1: playing as well as he's played before. Okay, we established
Speaker 1: that those two interceptions were on the receiver, right, by
Speaker 1: the way, they don't want to hear. They want to
Speaker 1: believe it either. Right, he did throw for two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty five yards in that game and three touchdowns
Speaker 1: by the way, Um, now they don't give the interceptions
Speaker 1: to the wide receivers. It's the quarterback and that and
Speaker 1: that causes his his quarterback rating to go to seventy
Speaker 1: eight point six. Right, If he doesn't have those interceptions,
Speaker 1: that quarterback rating would have been over a hundred. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: And so yeah, what do you need to do to
Speaker 1: play better? And it's like, I don't know. When he's
Speaker 1: cleaning the pocket, he looks pretty good to me. It
Speaker 1: all comes down to once you got that contract, then
Speaker 1: that's what you're going to be judged on, right, once
Speaker 1: you get that contract, if you haven't won a Super bowls? Right?
Speaker 1: And so once again, do you get paid on what
Speaker 1: we want you to do or do you get paid
Speaker 1: on what you did do? Right? You see? And for
Speaker 1: a long time, Dak Prescott was the most underpaid player
Speaker 1: in the NFL, right period. So now he's making that
Speaker 1: Now he's making too much money for the guys, you
Speaker 1: know that, for the punkins out there. And I can
Speaker 1: even spread this around to Ceedee Lamb as well. We
Speaker 1: still talk, you know, I know I do, and rightfully
Speaker 1: so for the things that he does not do. But
Speaker 1: I gotta give him love for regardless. Once again, I
Speaker 1: still wanted to make those plays that need to be
Speaker 1: made in the clutch. But you got eleven passes for
Speaker 1: one fifty eight one fifty I'm giving. I'm tipping my touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I'm giving. I'm tipping my hat to those two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So that's why everyone it was like, well, the offense
Speaker 1: let them down. They scored twenty eight points and those
Speaker 1: two performances we just talked about Tony Pollard, right, they
Speaker 1: ran for one hundred and fifty nine, And that's what
Speaker 1: I don't want them to lose sight up right, we
Speaker 1: are here to tell you what you didn't do, or
Speaker 1: to tell the fans. They're not listening to us, right,
Speaker 1: but we're here to tell the fans what they did
Speaker 1: not do. And sometimes we be moaned as fans as well,
Speaker 1: But when it comes down to it, they can't forget
Speaker 1: what they have done well in that locker room. And
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure McCarthy keeps the eye the prize when
Speaker 1: it comes to that. Yeah, and you know the defensive
Speaker 1: guys have you know they've stepped up to the music
Speaker 1: this week. You know it was on us. Yes, they
Speaker 1: scored twenty eight points. You know, Anthony Brown told me.
Speaker 1: Interesting thing because everybody's like, oh, six and three. He goes,
Speaker 1: you know, and they were talking about somebody asked him
Speaker 1: about Minnesota and you know how tough they are, and
Speaker 1: he goes, well, you know, we got some dudes too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, And he was almost like offended that everybody
Speaker 1: was praised in Minnesota, like because the Cowboys lost a game.
Speaker 1: Minnesota just gave up at thirty points. Yeah, the defenses
Speaker 1: gave up thirty thirty plus points. Come on. So so
Speaker 1: he pointed out to me because I said, so, where
Speaker 1: would you assess where this team is right now? And
Speaker 1: he goes, well, he goes last year at this he goes,
Speaker 1: we're six and three, right, he goes, last year at
Speaker 1: this time, we were seven and two. So it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: there's some good No. One and three at this point. Anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: see us remember all the games they were gonna lose
Speaker 1: early in the season. You know, they couldn't beat Cincinnati
Speaker 1: even after we lost the ten, they couldn't beat the Rams,
Speaker 1: you know, and oh, it's gonna be a bad start,
Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy's gonna get fired. Right, So they lost
Speaker 1: the game. They shouldn't have lost. I get it. But
Speaker 1: it's not like the season's over. Now, this is a
Speaker 1: tough stretch. Stretch you gotta go on the road again
Speaker 1: and go to Minnesota, where they've won the last couple
Speaker 1: of times they've been there, despite that god forsaken horn
Speaker 1: blowing after every first down. Oh, then you've got the
Speaker 1: Giants and then the Giants right who are playing good ball,
Speaker 1: and they're kind of playing the same way Minnesota is.
Speaker 1: They have this ability to come from behind and score
Speaker 1: late in the Check this stat out because I had
Speaker 1: this feeling that Minnesota has pulled out games. Yes, in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, there's no doubt about it. They have
Speaker 1: outscored opponents in the fourth quarter eighty three to forty.
Speaker 1: How does that happen? And they have this sense of
Speaker 1: urgency in the fourth quarter that is it's spastic. I mean,
Speaker 1: they are just going a mile a minute and they
Speaker 1: are not looking behind them, They're not putting the blinker on,
Speaker 1: they're not checking the blind spots. They are going one
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour when they have to. And you
Speaker 1: have to admire that about them, That sense of urgency
Speaker 1: with that team in the fourth quarter, it's impressive. And
Speaker 1: I mean that's the most obviously, that's the most points
Speaker 1: they've scored in any quarter this season. But it also
Speaker 1: speaks to coming back and winning games because they're winning
Speaker 1: all these close games, like we pointed out, but eighty
Speaker 1: three points in the fourth quarter in eight games, so
Speaker 1: nine games. They were pretty far behind in a couple
Speaker 1: of those games to where they had to once again
Speaker 1: make that frenzy comeback and so, okay, what do we
Speaker 1: what do we do we? What's the narrative is the
Speaker 1: fact that they are great comeback team or are they
Speaker 1: just one of the slowest starting teams in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So there are times when that moment it may fail
Speaker 1: you this time. You know you you're you're accustomed to
Speaker 1: this position, but it's not going to work for you
Speaker 1: every time. At some point with the Cowboys, we talked
Speaker 1: about the same thing. You know, we're playing any of
Speaker 1: these solid teams, We're gonna play against a good team
Speaker 1: and things are gonna You're gonna have to answer to that, right,
Speaker 1: Minnesota is gonna have to answer to their inability to
Speaker 1: score early on and often and their ability to having
Speaker 1: to pull out a game in the end, uh in
Speaker 1: in that that dramatic fashion. So we have we have
Speaker 1: to make sure and catch them in between that, you understand,
Speaker 1: we make sure that whatever they do when they come back,
Speaker 1: that can't happen with us. We've seen it happen to us,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have We want to make it happen
Speaker 1: for us this time. So they they've won. They've beat
Speaker 1: Detroit by four points, they beat New Orleans by three points,
Speaker 1: they beat Washington by three points, and then three points
Speaker 1: over Buffalo in overtime. Three of those four teams are
Speaker 1: losing teams. Yeah, we have losing seasons, right, losing records
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. And then their their loan loss
Speaker 1: going eight and one was at Philadelphia twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1: So that's really the two first games were the only
Speaker 1: ones they got kind of there was separation, right, They
Speaker 1: beat Green Bay twenty three seven, They lost to Philadelphia
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. Everything else has been a close shave.
Speaker 1: So that tells you that the Cowboys number one, and
Speaker 1: we understand it, need to slow down that running game.
Speaker 1: Number two, don't let Justin Jefferson take over the game.
Speaker 1: And number three, you know, get get consistently scoring twenty
Speaker 1: five to thirty points a game. That's right. You know
Speaker 1: they've done it twice in their own you know, read
Speaker 1: the offense for the crowd control and that too. That
Speaker 1: noise is going to be crazy because for some reason,
Speaker 1: I think they've put like whatever they put in their
Speaker 1: ceilings of their dome stadiums, right, it creates a lot
Speaker 1: of noise. They got that from the Superdome, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when I tell you I played there when I
Speaker 1: was in college all four years. That noise gets so
Speaker 1: loud and it bounces off of whatever the hell they
Speaker 1: have going on in there. They don't sound human. It
Speaker 1: sounds like a train. It does not sound like human voices.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a train. That's how loud it gets
Speaker 1: down in the field. Yeah. And remember how loud the
Speaker 1: um the previous the Metrodome was, because I think it
Speaker 1: was a low Well it wasn't just low, it was
Speaker 1: it was small. It was you know, raggedy. Well it
Speaker 1: was raggedy that one year when the smoke caved in
Speaker 1: the roof. Right. And now this one's I forgot what
Speaker 1: the word is. You can see through the roof and translucent.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that's yeah, okay, um, And it's it's
Speaker 1: kind of a neat stadium too, But I can't believe
Speaker 1: they brought that goofy horn. So this is the third
Speaker 1: this is their third stadium. Cowboys have had Cotton Bowl,
Speaker 1: Texas Stadium in this stadium right, and they they had
Speaker 1: the what was it was it? They had outdoor No,
Speaker 1: it was met the met Yeah, it was the met
Speaker 1: and then they had the indoor right with the Metrodome
Speaker 1: and now this one y Yeah, where the where the
Speaker 1: sidelines were. Both teams were on the same sideline and
Speaker 1: in Bloomington's right, and you couldn't. You couldn't if you
Speaker 1: were Minnesota Viking. You couldn't wear long sleeves doing the
Speaker 1: was it long sleeves and gloves or just gloves, but
Speaker 1: I know you could not wear gloves. Yeah, but Grant
Speaker 1: didn't watch. Grant didn't play that. And you talk about
Speaker 1: somebody that was you know, if I'm a player standpoint
Speaker 1: it as far as discipline was worse than Tom Lantry,
Speaker 1: I think Bud Grant was probably. I think they were
Speaker 1: competing with each other. So back in those days you
Speaker 1: played some games on the with the benches on the
Speaker 1: same side. I did not. You did not know. I
Speaker 1: did not, because I'm wondering how did they ever substitute.
Speaker 1: You couldn't substitute like you do now, right. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure we didn't have to do that because by that
Speaker 1: time we were in the Metro. Though we were in
Speaker 1: the don we were quite yeah, so when we were
Speaker 1: coming we didn't have to do that. But back in
Speaker 1: the sixties and seventies, if say you were on you know,
Speaker 1: your bench was on the other side of the fifty
Speaker 1: and they're down in the how do you get your yeah,
Speaker 1: and who's coming in the biggest guys on the team, right,
Speaker 1: you gotta called time, Matt, just so they can make
Speaker 1: it out there. Yeah, you can't just substitute. Unbelievable. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: we have to get onto picking this game and picks
Speaker 1: the click and we'll do that next on mix shots.
Speaker 1: We paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a pepsi zero sugar?
Speaker 1: Great job, honey, Oh look at that. That's not the end,
Speaker 1: no way. Now it's time for the encore. You know what,
Speaker 1: You're right? Five times not enough times for everyone who
Speaker 1: traded in rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised
Speaker 1: enough pepsi zero sugar, that's what I like nobody protects
Speaker 1: you from Mayhem like All State. You hear that I'm

Speaker 1: are you any way? I wasn't able to join you earlier. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not your day when you venture out
Speaker 1: on a four hour trek to South Texas and you
Speaker 1: realize that your phone won't take a charge and you
Speaker 1: got twenty percent left on it. So I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll do picks to click and then I'll have about
Speaker 1: ten percent left on my phone for the rest of
Speaker 1: the journey. Why your car doesn't charge your phone? Next?
Speaker 1: The problem is with my phone, I think, not taking
Speaker 1: a charge? You need it all. You only find that

Speaker 1: if you had an Android, you wouldn't have that problem.
Speaker 1: Oh he there y, all right, well, who wants to start?
Speaker 1: I'll start. Every since is gonna go first. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go away. I'm gonna go so specific here. This is
Speaker 1: gonna be an amazing pick to click because it's gonna work.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at jay Ron Curse. We're going to need him.
Speaker 1: This is going right, that's right, I'm finally gonna get
Speaker 1: one close. By the way, all of us sucked last week,
Speaker 1: bill include myself. All right, so here's here, here we go.
Speaker 1: Running game is gonna be promitent for the Vikings that like,
Speaker 1: like McCarthy said, they're gonna come off the bus running
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm looking at jay Ron Curse is gonna
Speaker 1: have to get in and make some tackles and and
Speaker 1: make a difference in this game. I'm looking at him
Speaker 1: having six tackles, all right, even one interception, because I'm
Speaker 1: sure Kak Cousins is gonna is gonna do it. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have a hiccup every game, and I'm looking at
Speaker 1: that hiccup is going to be that one interception to
Speaker 1: jay Ron Curse. So he's gonna have one pick, six
Speaker 1: tackles and the score is going to be a pretty
Speaker 1: high scoring affair. We're going to have to show that
Speaker 1: we can keep up offensively. And I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: score being thirty five thirty one. Oh my Cowboys winning
Speaker 1: this ball game. Wow Yeah in indoor. And even though
Speaker 1: the high on Saturday in Minneapolis is going to be
Speaker 1: nineteen degrees, they don't have to worry about that. They
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about on Sunday. Bill, We'll let
Speaker 1: you go. So in case you have to, you know,
Speaker 1: turn your phone off, We'll get you out of here.
Speaker 1: And then if I need to make a call to
Speaker 1: say do they have payphones anymore anywhere? As a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, you gotta go to the city they do.
Speaker 1: And if they do have a play phone anywhere, doesn't
Speaker 1: I have any numbers memorized in buying mine. I have
Speaker 1: no idea what wh you have or do you have
Speaker 1: a quarter? I'd be totally out of luck. In moab
Speaker 1: Utah last summer, there was a pay phone right down
Speaker 1: the street from where we were staying moab moab Utah.
Speaker 1: There was a mob and I took a picture just
Speaker 1: to prove it. Right, all right, here's my pick to click.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm ready Okay, this is the anniversary year
Speaker 1: of one of the greatest plays in Dallas Cowboys history. Right,
Speaker 1: it was forty years ago when Tony Dorset when ninety
Speaker 1: ninety na for a touchdown? Where in Minnesota? Follared? Tony follared?
Speaker 1: Is my pick to click? You're going ninety nine yards
Speaker 1: and I half for a touchdown as the Cowboys win
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty twenty four twenty got you? Ah,
Speaker 1: that's very good, Bill, twenty four twenty Everson, where were you?
Speaker 1: And Tony d went ninety nine and a half? I
Speaker 1: was on the sidelines with my mouth wide open, going,
Speaker 1: what the hell just happened? They only got ten men
Speaker 1: on the field and this guy scores checking ninety nine
Speaker 1: and a half year touchdown. And who was that little
Speaker 1: skinny knock kneed guy out there in the middle of
Speaker 1: the field blocking for him? Nobody but number eighty eight
Speaker 1: Drew Pearson, who was always there leading the way for
Speaker 1: any running back that was trying to score. I always
Speaker 1: gotta gived some love and Bill, where were you? Forty years?
Speaker 1: I was? I was. I was actually a January third,
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three. I was in a little pub in
Speaker 1: Dallas watching it on television. He's getting drunk. That means
Speaker 1: he's getting drunk. Hey, Bill, did you get me a score? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Four twenty was that the score of that game? By
Speaker 1: the way, I didn't have time to look at look
Speaker 1: at that kind of stuff up driving. By the way, Bill,
Speaker 1: I gotta picked that game. I'm sure you did. Nobody
Speaker 1: remembers because of the ninety nine. I got the best
Speaker 1: interception I ever had. I turned the flip and got
Speaker 1: to pick at the same time. What do you mean
Speaker 1: that means that the receiver failed. I had to jump
Speaker 1: over him to get the ball, and as I called it,
Speaker 1: I had to flip over and catch it, and then
Speaker 1: I came up on my feet. So yeah, forwards, boy,
Speaker 1: if everything, I think I was making a bath run. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you were. Man. You came back and everybody's like,
Speaker 1: hey man, Wallas just made a pick. You like what
Speaker 1: you know? What you got? Mickey? I am. I'm stubborn, right,
Speaker 1: I keep picking the same guys. At some point they're
Speaker 1: gonna come through. No, not Michael Parsons. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be an offensive explosion. And I don't think we ever
Speaker 1: do this right. We pick wide receivers, we pick running backs,
Speaker 1: we pick tight ends. I am gonna go with one
Speaker 1: Dakota Prescott. Oh. I think that he will have a
Speaker 1: big game indoors, nice warm, cozy, no snow, no rain,
Speaker 1: no wind. He is going to put thirty some points
Speaker 1: on this. Well, maybe not thirty, but he's gonna he's
Speaker 1: gonna play awfully well. Uh and my pick is Cowboys
Speaker 1: twenty seven, the Vikings twenty four. Oh right, twenty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty four. Last week it was twenty seven seventeen. Yes,
Speaker 1: now you got twenty seven. You gotta give me some
Speaker 1: numbers on dak Man. You can't just say dak So
Speaker 1: it's gotta be like, give me some touchdowns or yard
Speaker 1: You're just gonna throw for three hundred and three touch three,
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and three picks. None. Because he had
Speaker 1: three touchdowns last week. I know that's why he's hot.
Speaker 1: He's got the hot hand. Now, as long as the
Speaker 1: wide receivers don't have any interceptions. Oh yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: three t s. I gotta just run your route, don't
Speaker 1: be on the wrong angle on your routes. I think
Speaker 1: he would he would have had over one hundred quarterback
Speaker 1: rating if not for those two mess ups. But he
Speaker 1: continues to be the man answering questions. Right, he will
Speaker 1: not blame anybody. He just talks about coordination and communication.
Speaker 1: Falling on that sword. Yep, that's right. That's what a
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback does. That's what he does. That's just the
Speaker 1: way it is. Bill. So there are we good? Oh?
Speaker 1: I might be losing you there. Oh that's all I
Speaker 1: got you. We we got all we need from your Bill.
Speaker 1: We need to sign off on this. You want to
Speaker 1: sign us off? Well, yeah I will. I went to
Speaker 1: comment I made yesterday. Who in the world schedules a
