Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick Shots,
Speaker 1: streaming live on dallascowboys dot Com and the official Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Savannah Humoller, Everson Wolves,
Speaker 1: and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 2: And it is time for a Tuesday edition of mix Shots.
Speaker 2: And I'm going to start with one thing on my mind.
Speaker 2: You can have an MVP at quarterback, but if you
Speaker 2: have an MVS at wide receiver who can't catch a football,
Speaker 2: then oh brother, you can have the greatest quarterback of
Speaker 2: all time, but you better have receivers and a tight
Speaker 2: end by the way, who can catch the football. And
Speaker 2: I'm off my soapbox.
Speaker 3: Just goes back to my philosophy about the NFL, that
Speaker 3: the NFL helps those who help themselves. Don't rely on
Speaker 3: anybody else to do you any favors.
Speaker 2: Okay, So the task is at hand for this Cowboys team.
Speaker 2: Take it. Take it upon yourself to make up the
Speaker 2: ground because you can't depend on the Dallas Texans to
Speaker 2: do it for you.
Speaker 4: I want to know.
Speaker 3: The amazing thing is, how have the Chiefs won seven
Speaker 3: games with that receiving that hock is unbelievable. It's like
Speaker 3: I had to go this Watson guy. I was thinking, well,
Speaker 3: that was the guy Bill like.
Speaker 2: In the Christian Watson scored three touchdowns against Cowboys last year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I'm going.
Speaker 3: No, that's not him, that's somebody else. And I had
Speaker 3: to look him up and it's like he was the
Speaker 3: only one they were throwing passes to.
Speaker 2: Well, he was the only one that was catching them.
Speaker 2: And he dropped. He dropped the couple girl.
Speaker 4: So then now Taylor Swift is not good for Travis Kelton.
Speaker 3: He wasn't concentrating as much as he needed to.
Speaker 4: He needed to hear her in his ears.
Speaker 3: Two turnovers inside the fifteen was it?
Speaker 4: You know, you can talk, we can talk about that
Speaker 4: all you want. It comes down to one play. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it just comes down to one play. You know, I've
Speaker 4: been a victim of that as well as that. You
Speaker 4: got to take on the take take ownership of that.
Speaker 4: You gotta catch the damn ball, dude, you just got
Speaker 4: to kiss them.
Speaker 3: He couldn't have placed it in.
Speaker 4: You won, you know, I mean it was a ball
Speaker 4: that had to be a difficult catch. Made it easier
Speaker 4: than what it should have been. I mean, he actually
Speaker 4: threw him open, So I don't know, man, that was a.
Speaker 3: Tough Actually came down to two plays because I was
Speaker 3: sitting there the whole time, going, well, Number one, Kansas
Speaker 3: City's not going to win this game seventeen to fourteen,
Speaker 3: and number two, at some point, the Eagles are going
Speaker 3: to make a big play, a big passing play down
Speaker 3: the field.
Speaker 4: And they did.
Speaker 3: They did, and that's all they needed because it got
Speaker 3: to the one yard and.
Speaker 2: They take matters into their own hands at the one
Speaker 2: yard line.
Speaker 4: So you have a secondary that finally did something that
Speaker 4: really is as simple as Belichick always tries to make it,
Speaker 4: and that is, if you have someone that's kicking your
Speaker 4: butt week in and week out and having a great
Speaker 4: year week in and week out, let's just stop him
Speaker 4: from making place. You know, let's just stop this guy
Speaker 4: from making plays. So you got Kelsey, okay, almost triple
Speaker 4: teamdom on some place. Yeah, you want to make sure
Speaker 4: that he's not the guy, You're going to have to
Speaker 4: do something else. I don't know why every week we
Speaker 4: don't just say, okay, he's not going to do If
Speaker 4: this guy's not going to be the guy, he's not
Speaker 4: going to be the one that's going to beat us.
Speaker 4: And once you do that, you cause the team to
Speaker 4: go another route. That's all. You don't want to make
Speaker 4: it comfortable for them, you know, to beat you. You
Speaker 4: don't want you to, you know, give them an excuse
Speaker 4: or are ways to beat you. You want to just
Speaker 4: take the other way, and then let's see what you
Speaker 4: have left. And obviously they don't have that much left.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at the stats from that game,
Speaker 3: the Chiefs beat the Eagles almost in every category.
Speaker 2: On offense, first downs twenty three to sixteen, third down
Speaker 2: efficiency they were eight or seventeen. The Eagles were three
Speaker 2: for eleven. Keep going total yards the Chiefs said three
Speaker 2: thirty six. The Eagles had two thirty eight, two thirty
Speaker 2: eight total yards. Passing yards who's one seventy seven to
Speaker 2: one fifty rushing yards one sixty eight to one fourteen
Speaker 2: all in favor of Kansas City.
Speaker 4: And he got sacked turnovers, He got sacked.
Speaker 2: Turnovers Kansas City had two, Philly had one.
Speaker 5: How many times was he sacked?
Speaker 4: Like six?
Speaker 2: At least let's see where are my sacks? On here?
Speaker 2: Where are my sacks? It should be with everything else,
Speaker 2: I'm not on sacks. Here we go five times Hurts
Speaker 2: was sacked and Mahomes was sacked once.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: But you hit the one stat that counted two turnovers
Speaker 3: to one.
Speaker 2: How about yards per attempt? The Chiefs had three point
Speaker 2: eight yards per attempt, but the Eagles weren't much better.
Speaker 2: They were four point six yards per attempt. That's not
Speaker 2: really bad.
Speaker 3: And think about it because two of the passes to
Speaker 3: Dante Smith were like three Yeah, like thirty and fifty yards.
Speaker 2: Take those away, and yeah.
Speaker 4: They were looking like they were looking pretty bad. Before
Speaker 4: those two plays.
Speaker 3: You knew what was coming. You just knew it that
Speaker 3: they were going to complete a big play and that
Speaker 3: was going to.
Speaker 4: Be the ball game. So this is a secondary that
Speaker 4: that Prescott torched, right, this Eagle secondary. Yeah, he touched them.
Speaker 4: We should have won the game, except for we know
Speaker 4: what happened. So now you have Kansas City going against
Speaker 4: the same secondary. And I really didn't see Mahomes doing
Speaker 4: the things that I expected him to do in this game.
Speaker 4: I thought for sure that he was going to light
Speaker 4: them up. And even with the drop passes, they still
Speaker 4: did pretty well. But it's the interceptions it's the fumbles
Speaker 4: that caused everything. So how good do you feel.
Speaker 2: By the way, Philly, by the way along those lines,
Speaker 2: how about give credit to the Eagles in this respect.
Speaker 2: And they've shut out Kansas City in the second half
Speaker 2: of that game. Kansas City did not score, but what
Speaker 2: they have done in their secondary Kevin Byard had an
Speaker 2: inner reception in that game last night, and they acquired
Speaker 2: him October twenty third, just prior to playing the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: And Bradley Robi is the one who did the peanut
Speaker 2: tillman on and punched the ball out on Kelsey in
Speaker 2: the inside the ten yard line, and they picked him
Speaker 2: up on October third from New Orleans.
Speaker 4: When we played against him, I wasn't impressed with any
Speaker 4: of them, right, right, I was not impressed with any
Speaker 4: of those guys that they signed. They didn't make any
Speaker 4: plays on us. We made the plays against ourselves. I
Speaker 4: don't mind going to Philly. I said that after we
Speaker 4: lost in Philly. I don't mind. Philly does not scare me.
Speaker 2: Compare compare our receiving corps to what the Chiefs have
Speaker 2: receiving court by a long shot.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Mickey's shaking his head.
Speaker 3: And also, put a roof on your damn stadium. We're
Speaker 3: gonna have a big critical game like that and it's
Speaker 3: raining and it's cold and miserable.
Speaker 4: Put a roof up you want every stadium?
Speaker 3: Yes, why they don't play basketball?
Speaker 2: That's what my wife says too. She doesn't understand why
Speaker 2: they don't just have roofs every Why do they play
Speaker 2: outdoors in Buffalo.
Speaker 4: To take out the element of the game.
Speaker 2: You know, I agree.
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't play baseball.
Speaker 4: Is an extreme, but you know you want the field
Speaker 4: of outdoors. You know.
Speaker 2: I love that, especially when I'm at home watching the
Speaker 2: Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you don't put no no feelings for Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 3: Like, let's play basketball outdoors and if it rains, it rains, right,
Speaker 3: it would be bad.
Speaker 4: Actually water down the playing basketball outdoors games, my gloves.
Speaker 2: You like watching those hockey games out outdoors when they
Speaker 2: play once a year outdoors?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 4: The weather's okay? U.
Speaker 3: We didn't know nothing about.
Speaker 2: Playing back to hockey for you there, Savannahs. That's where
Speaker 2: I was last night, that's right. The Stars scored five.
Speaker 5: Min yeah, it was six to three.
Speaker 2: Have come from behind victory.
Speaker 3: After they did this opposite the game before, great game though,
Speaker 3: giving up a three to nothing lead with six play.
Speaker 5: We played the Golden Knights on Chimps are in here.
Speaker 3: It's on national TV too. We get to watch it.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, good, And I'm going Friday night.
Speaker 2: You got a full sports weekend then ahead for yourself.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: This Missouri play on Thanksgiving weekend Friday.
Speaker 3: Kansas again, Kansas, Yeah, those days are done right. It
Speaker 3: used to be Arkansas.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's there, that's there. They play ar Kansas.
Speaker 7: Yes, at Arkansas.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's their new rivalry game right in the SEC.
Speaker 3: You're gonna learn about those rivals in a hurry.
Speaker 2: And so we're two days away from kickoff at at
Speaker 2: and T Stadium the Washington Commanders and Mike McCarthy was
Speaker 2: just meeting with the media and says, we came on
Speaker 2: the air.
Speaker 3: Here practice after that and very light practices to keep
Speaker 3: try to get their legs back underneath.
Speaker 4: Them and just to watch.
Speaker 3: Coaches, how did you treat it? I mean from a
Speaker 3: physical standpoint.
Speaker 4: It was, yeah, you just playball. It didn't it didn't,
Speaker 4: It didn't bother me.
Speaker 3: It just you know, did Tom back off on?
Speaker 4: He was smart? No, we were smart about that. I
Speaker 4: thought you, me and now well as a team, we
Speaker 4: were very smart about it. Just as as you know,
Speaker 4: that's never changed around here. We know how to handle
Speaker 4: the games and that cluster of games in so many days.
Speaker 4: But I think this is even more confined, isn't it.
Speaker 4: I don't know if we had to deal with what
Speaker 4: three games and twelve was it? Oh?
Speaker 2: It was always three days in twelve. But what this
Speaker 2: is is four days in nineteen because you got the
Speaker 2: Thursday game after the third four game. But that's what
Speaker 2: a man. I didn't say it for four games in
Speaker 2: nineteen days.
Speaker 4: That's the difference. That's we didn't We never had to
Speaker 4: deal with that because you did the three yeah, and
Speaker 4: then you got you got the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: If you go back through history, the Cowboys always if
Speaker 2: they didn't win on Thanksgiving, they always won after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: And December when we were bawling. December was never really
Speaker 4: a big issue for us. You know, we didn't have
Speaker 4: a collapse in December, like what could have you know,
Speaker 4: if you have this unusual schedule, you know, before the holidays.
Speaker 5: Well, yesterday in the press conference with coach, he was saying,
Speaker 5: how this is when the real football starts as you're
Speaker 5: starting to roll into December. But he said when he
Speaker 5: and it's the schedule at the you know, when the
Speaker 5: schedule is released, he already plans out exactly this type
Speaker 5: of stretch with four nineteen, what that schedule is going
Speaker 5: to be for the players. And he mentioned yesterday that
Speaker 5: rest was key for him, giving some guys a little
Speaker 5: bit more time to.
Speaker 4: Did Tom back practice, He did back off practice, and
Speaker 4: I think with my only uh, along with Mike downs
Speaker 4: as well, if you're from the area, kind of hard
Speaker 4: to get rest, you know. I mean, it's just the
Speaker 4: way it is if you're born here. Thank God for
Speaker 4: the home games, you know, because we're always playing it
Speaker 4: at home, But if we had to go on the road,
Speaker 4: for guys like myself and Michael, it might have been
Speaker 4: better to go on the road because we didn't have
Speaker 4: to deal with all of that stuff.
Speaker 3: All that family.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Man, I had to get twenty three season tickets every game,
Speaker 4: so you could imagine, you know, the holidays always going
Speaker 4: to be more more oh my god, hectic.
Speaker 3: But those tickets are only twenty five dollars engaged.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, up, you got free chick out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Players that I.
Speaker 4: Was a free agent, still playing, I was undrafted, still
Speaker 4: paying for freaking tickets. I never got paid back either.
Speaker 2: I got something for you. I heard today that the
Speaker 2: amount of the payout for the Rangers after winning the
Speaker 2: World Series was announced today or someone reported it today,
Speaker 2: and it was based on it's what it is in baseball.
Speaker 2: It's based on ticket sales and the playoffs. So the
Speaker 2: Rangers have sixty one ship player shares, everyone who basically
Speaker 2: was on the team at some point during the season,
Speaker 2: and they are getting over five hundred thousand dollars per player, okay,
Speaker 2: from ticket sales for their their winnings for winning the
Speaker 2: World Series. Uh And and it's determined by sales and
Speaker 2: so over the whole course, the course of the playoffs,
Speaker 2: course of the playoffs, right, And so that's the player pool,
Speaker 2: okay in baseball, which they have a great union in baseball,
Speaker 2: Yes they do.
Speaker 4: In fact, the.
Speaker 2: Arizona Diamondbacks each player they have seventy one shares and
Speaker 2: they're all getting over three hundred thousand dollars for their
Speaker 2: postseason shares. Okay. So when you won the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: with the Giants, do you remember what your share was?
Speaker 4: What was no share?
Speaker 2: What do you get from you got you got something
Speaker 2: for what of the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4: Do you remember what was in your boat? It was
Speaker 4: always in your own particular contract. Yeah, I think we
Speaker 4: had something. I think we end up getting like twenty
Speaker 4: five g's or something like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, you got to have something for each round
Speaker 3: that you played, right, You didn't play for free.
Speaker 4: We played on the salary. We played on the salary.
Speaker 2: That was your right. Their season pay. Yeah, you got
Speaker 2: I think it was like twenty five.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It obviously wasn't enough to be memorable.
Speaker 4: No it was. It wasn't. No, it wasn't. It wasn't.
Speaker 3: So so even the Super Bowl, you didn't get some
Speaker 3: each round, not.
Speaker 4: Each round, if I would call, we just got super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Pay and it was whatever the accumulation was, because if
Speaker 2: you're if the season had ended after the first round,
Speaker 2: you would have got whatever that was. Yeah, and then
Speaker 2: so you got whatever after that.
Speaker 4: Like twenty five Okay, by that it wasn't. It wasn't
Speaker 4: very memorable.
Speaker 3: How many games do you have to win?
Speaker 4: You had three three three, yeah, to go all the way.
Speaker 3: So the first round at the conference.
Speaker 4: Nineteen okay, yeah, sixteen three. No free agent I mean no.
Speaker 3: Uh wild card rap and Tom probably said, but it
Speaker 3: should have been glad to be there. This was that
Speaker 3: wasn't ourself?
Speaker 4: Well yeah, but we even when we made it in Dallas,
Speaker 4: we never went well you made it wild card? Did
Speaker 4: we go wildcard against the Rams? I believe we went
Speaker 4: wild caught when Dickerson came in and beat it.
Speaker 3: So you would have won in eighty nine, I mean
Speaker 3: ninety eighty one. Excuse me, you had you got didn't.
Speaker 4: Do wild We didn't do wild card, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So, lady two, you had the tournament because you had
Speaker 2: the shortened season, right.
Speaker 5: Naton Frisco says that we got paid per playoff game.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it was his.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was an incremental song.
Speaker 4: It wasn't much. It really wasn't. It really wasn't. I'm
Speaker 4: not lying. It was not much at all. Asked Nate,
Speaker 4: if sary give us some give us some some some
Speaker 4: dollar bill figures, give us some.
Speaker 2: Figures, because your salary wasn't much either compared to what
Speaker 2: today is.
Speaker 4: When I when I was in New York, I mean
Speaker 4: it was more because you know, you're a veteran. That
Speaker 4: was a veteran. But well we were talking eighty one
Speaker 4: and eighty two. Yeah, I ended up getting a pretty
Speaker 4: good but it was all included with it was a
Speaker 4: personal clauses as well. You see what I'm saying. So
Speaker 4: we had personal clauses that we made. You have made
Speaker 4: so much money if you go to the first round,
Speaker 4: so much money to go second round. So that was
Speaker 4: that was your personal contract. And that was normal for
Speaker 4: pretty much all Cowboys because we were accustomed to going
Speaker 4: to the playoffs at that time. So that league, that
Speaker 4: was almost a league.
Speaker 3: He had to pay you something.
Speaker 4: Well, like I said about twenty five, g's a n
Speaker 4: What do you want me to say? I feel like
Speaker 4: shack over here.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we'll be back with bor mix shines just
Speaker 2: a moment for years later.
Speaker 8: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they.
Speaker 9: Snapped the fresh guy who looks right, it's not there.
Speaker 9: He escaped, flapped, He'll run full punch down.
Speaker 8: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 8: to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com,
Speaker 8: I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've
Speaker 8: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,

Speaker 6: You know that sound anywhere. It's the crisp crunch, that
Speaker 6: first nacho chip with its perfect cheese to sour cream
Speaker 6: ratio sitting atop a layer of delicious beans. It's a
Speaker 6: sip away from perfection. That's what we're looking for. Add
Speaker 6: a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana.
Speaker 6: Because while you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 6: savory topping, there's no topping of school pepsi. Finish nachos
Speaker 6: better with pepsi.
Speaker 7: That's what I like.

Speaker 3: And it looks like Savannah's got a long list of notes.
Speaker 4: There that we need to go.
Speaker 2: Let's get to it.
Speaker 3: Let's to try and figure payoffs.
Speaker 5: We can get to it. Let's see, we'll see what's
Speaker 5: on the top of my list. We'll start off with
Speaker 5: deron Bland. Okay, so, as we get into this game
Speaker 5: against the Commanders on Thursday, I was looking up exactly
Speaker 5: what Washington was doing in their last game against the Giants,
Speaker 5: and so Isaiah Simmons from the Giants, he had to
Speaker 5: pick six on Howel and so I think that could
Speaker 5: be a good setup, and I'm sure it's something that
Speaker 5: they're going to start looking at for Bland to potentially
Speaker 5: break that record. And Howl threw three interceptions against the Giants,
Speaker 5: and he had a total of six turnovers. So I'm
Speaker 5: I'm keeping my eye on their offense and see seeing
Speaker 5: what they're doing. But Howell does not exactly seem like.
Speaker 4: He's standing up for It's like with anybody else. If
Speaker 4: you have if the game's close, you know you can
Speaker 4: expect him to make mistakes because you know you can
Speaker 4: feel the pressure. But if you're not putting any pressure
Speaker 4: on him and it's becomes one of those games and
Speaker 4: I always bring up Arizona, then you know someone like
Speaker 4: Howld is going to feel no pressure and he's going
Speaker 4: to be out there leading him down the field, up
Speaker 4: and down the field. I don't want that. I don't
Speaker 4: want that. I want him to constantly feel pressure from
Speaker 4: our offense. If we keep scoring, then he's going to
Speaker 4: have to keep up. And when he has to keep up,
Speaker 4: that's when he makes all of his mistakes when he
Speaker 4: has to keep up playing from behind. But if you
Speaker 4: give him, if you give him a cushion, he's one
Speaker 4: of those guys that can. He's a good front runner.
Speaker 4: He's a really good front runner.
Speaker 2: Well, let's look at against Philadelphia just a few games ago.
Speaker 2: This was on October twenty ninth, the Commander's loss to Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: and that was the week before the Cowboys Eagles game.
Speaker 2: It was thirty eight thirty one. It was the final score.
Speaker 2: And Sam how in that game was thirty nine out
Speaker 2: of fifty two for three hundred and ninety seven yards
Speaker 2: and four touchdowns, just one pick. And he's only sacked
Speaker 2: one time in that game. Wow, that was late in
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 12: I remember against against Philadelphia, Philadelphia sacked and coming into
Speaker 12: that game he had been sacked forty one times the
Speaker 12: first seven games of the year and he only got
Speaker 12: sacked one time against the Eagles in that game and
Speaker 12: then the last the next week at New England, he
Speaker 12: threw for three hundred and twenty five yards and one touchdown,
Speaker 12: one pick, three sacks.
Speaker 2: The following week at Seattle a twenty eight to twenty
Speaker 2: five loss. Is that what it was twenty nine to
Speaker 2: twenty six loss. He was twenty nine out of forty
Speaker 2: four for three hundred twelve yards, three touchdo downs, no picks,
Speaker 2: three sacks.
Speaker 4: That's impressive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's been coming on. And then last week,
Speaker 2: as Savannah pointed out, three interceptions and they turned it
Speaker 2: over six times and he was sacked nine times last week.
Speaker 3: So he's got eighteen touchdown passes twelve interceptions, but this
Speaker 3: is kind of amazing. He leads the league in completions
Speaker 3: with two hundred and ninety five. He leads the league
Speaker 3: in passing yards with three thousand and thirty eight. Wow,
Speaker 3: and he is third in passing first downs with one
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty nine. So he's got some pretty good stats.
Speaker 3: But the interceptions and the yards per completion is only
Speaker 3: six point eight seven. So his quarterback rating is eighty
Speaker 3: eight point six with his nineteenth in the NFL.
Speaker 4: So the running game is failing them building.
Speaker 3: Sounds that way because they're running game.
Speaker 4: They got a big running back back then. I think
Speaker 4: the young man's name is Robinson.
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson out of Alabama, six twenty five pounds.
Speaker 3: So their their offense is ranked twelve, but they're twenty
Speaker 3: sixth in rushing yards and tenth in passing yards. Their
Speaker 3: problem seems to be defensively because they're ranked twenty ninth
Speaker 3: overall defensively, and.
Speaker 2: They discarded a couple of players recently now with San
Speaker 2: Francisco and Montese.
Speaker 4: Just a couple of players.
Speaker 3: See, And if you look at their scores, three of
Speaker 3: the last four games they've given up thirty eight, twenty nine,
Speaker 3: and thirty one. So defensively they've been they've been struggling
Speaker 3: so well.
Speaker 4: Catchup team Howell is doing very well, you know, he
Speaker 4: really is in some games, and it seems like they're
Speaker 4: always playing from behind, right, and so, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I guess I'm always that guy, don't. I never feel
Speaker 4: comfortable with these kind of setup games while we're up
Speaker 4: at worrying about case right and Philly and you know,
Speaker 4: trying to catch these guys and oh we got the
Speaker 4: little Commanders coming up.
Speaker 3: I don't like that feel, you know, well, especially on
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving too, Yeah, because those games are always kind of
Speaker 3: wacky sometimes sometimes. So here's the key stat. Bottom line,
Speaker 3: he's been sacked fifty one times for three hundred and
Speaker 3: forty three negative yards. Fifty one He's still got seventy
Speaker 3: games to go.
Speaker 5: So the NFL record is seventy six in a season,
Speaker 5: set by David Carr from the Texans in two thousand
Speaker 5: and two.
Speaker 4: Very good, thanks, Well, that does not That doesn't make
Speaker 4: me feel better at all.
Speaker 3: Okay, always trying to make you feel better.
Speaker 4: Only because you see that it doesn't kill their fire,
Speaker 4: It doesn't put their fire out. You know they keep
Speaker 4: coming back. You know they're not a team. Just because
Speaker 4: you sack them that many times. A guy still leaves
Speaker 4: the league in passing, you know, he still has more
Speaker 4: completions than any more.
Speaker 3: Time to sack them and cause fumbles.
Speaker 4: That's what you need to do. And that seemed to happen.
Speaker 4: Only it was rare this past game that he was
Speaker 4: able to still have those yards with those amount of turnovers.
Speaker 4: So the turnovers themselves, as much as we we know
Speaker 4: that he has them, seems like he seems to have
Speaker 4: them all in bunches. It seems to happen in bunches.
Speaker 4: So it'd be nice if we can get a bunch.
Speaker 2: And I think I misspoke earlier to nine sacks. See
Speaker 2: the Giants quarterback the Vito was sacked nine times. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and Howard sacked four times. So what happened with Washington
Speaker 2: is they turned it over six times despite sacking the
Speaker 2: Vito nine times in that game.
Speaker 4: That's unusual for them to see and for this season,
Speaker 4: that seems like an unusual staff because otherwise they seem
Speaker 4: to be pretty productive when it comes to passing the ball.
Speaker 4: And I guess they're always coming from behind. That's why
Speaker 4: he's always chunking it so much. He's comfortable there, Guys,
Speaker 4: he's comfortable playing from behind.
Speaker 3: See, they figured McLaurin would be their top guy, and
Speaker 3: he has fifty six catches, but he only averages eleven
Speaker 3: and a half yards a catch, and then after that
Speaker 3: the averages go way down. The only guy that's got
Speaker 3: a huge average fifteen point three Pringle that doesn't ring
Speaker 3: Iron Pringle, thank you.
Speaker 4: Let's think about this as well. Let's say they're in
Speaker 4: the comeback situation a lot. They're mostly playing against zone.
Speaker 4: In the comeback situation. Most of the time, the team's
Speaker 4: going to say, okay, let's sit back and zone because
Speaker 4: we have maybe a two score lead. If we don't
Speaker 4: get a lead, then we're going to be playing man
Speaker 4: to man.
Speaker 3: A lot, right, Because that's what they do we have to.
Speaker 4: Match up with Lauren and see you know how that
Speaker 4: matchup can be. And you have a veteran like that,
Speaker 4: he can explode it anytime. So we need to let
Speaker 4: the game itself dictate how we play. You know, well,
Speaker 4: well we behind or we ahead. That really does both
Speaker 4: on how we approach the game itself.
Speaker 3: And I wonder if they go to school on what
Speaker 3: Carolina did early in the game, because they were blitzing
Speaker 3: and they were playing zone.
Speaker 4: It's real soft.
Speaker 3: Their DB's real way.
Speaker 13: I don't know if it's a thing, right, But I
Speaker 13: don't know if ivver cover for a thing because they
Speaker 13: had everybody across the back, the safety, the corners, and
Speaker 13: at times the corners were five to ten yards off
Speaker 13: the line of scrimmage. So that's why they were trying
Speaker 13: to throw.
Speaker 3: Those quick smoke screens and they couldn't make the one
Speaker 3: guy miss otherwise, you know. But they were playing way
Speaker 3: off and they you got to take what you can get, right,
Speaker 3: and and and they were causing pressure too. It was
Speaker 3: I know, he didn't get sacked, right.
Speaker 2: He didn't get sacked in the games.
Speaker 3: But he was getting harassed sort of like Mahomes last night.
Speaker 3: He was getting harassed. He didn't have many clean pockets.
Speaker 4: One thing I've always I learned about offensive coordinators and quarterbacks,
Speaker 4: they can't stand not to hit the big play. They
Speaker 4: just can't stand it. It's like I was an itch
Speaker 4: that they have. You can keep them short, short pass,
Speaker 4: short pass. Eventually they're gonna be like, we got to
Speaker 4: get a big one, you know, right, and that we
Speaker 4: have to keep them from doing that. We can't let
Speaker 4: them get the big ones.
Speaker 3: That keep everything in front of everything.
Speaker 4: That's the same, and that's why.
Speaker 3: That's why when teams play that way, you've got to
Speaker 3: run the ball.
Speaker 4: You have to run the ball. Right now.
Speaker 3: They did hit some big runs in the game against Carolina, but.
Speaker 4: From them bring the safety down, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And but from a consistent standpoint, they still only average
Speaker 3: four point zero yards a rush. And you got to
Speaker 3: be better than that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So especially you don't have the safety down.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you should take advantage of that.
Speaker 3: Get that offensive line going. Offensive line. We saw it
Speaker 3: last night. Right, If your offensive line's not playing well,
Speaker 3: you're not moving the football. I don't care who's that quarterback,
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes or Tommy DeVito.
Speaker 4: Well, I wish I bet they wish they had Tommy
Speaker 4: Hill last night.
Speaker 2: Which and that gets back to what we're talking about
Speaker 2: at the outset is uh and that's what Kansas City
Speaker 2: is running into. It is because they have to pay
Speaker 2: so much money to their stars that they're just having
Speaker 2: to pick up in certain positions whatever they can, you know.
Speaker 2: And then it depends on and.
Speaker 4: Then they hope Mahomes can bring something out of those guys.
Speaker 3: Left handed magic there.
Speaker 2: You have to be able to catch the.
Speaker 3: Football even if it's raining there you.
Speaker 2: Or be able to run the ball enough to wear
Speaker 2: anyway or put up a roof.
Speaker 4: Don't worry, guys, cowboys got.
Speaker 2: This all right when we come back, all right. At
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season, the school of thought seemingly
Speaker 2: everywhere was that the AFC was so much stronger than
Speaker 2: the NFC. You look the number of top teams in
Speaker 2: the a f C versus what the NFD. Let's review
Speaker 2: as we go into Thanksgiving weekend, which conference has the
Speaker 2: stronger teams? And we come back here on mix Shops.

Speaker 2: Okay, an update on Super Bowl winnings. If you win
Speaker 2: Super Bowl fifty seven, every member of the team receives
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars. Okay, you go
Speaker 2: back in time. Super Bowl one through Super Bowl eleven,
Speaker 2: the winning team players got fifteen thousand dollars. The losing
Speaker 2: team got seven thousand and five dollars. Each Super Bowl
Speaker 2: I'm trying to do twelve through sixteen, the winners got
Speaker 2: eighteen thousand, the losers got nine thousand. Super Bowl XBI
Speaker 2: seventeen seventeen through twenty seven one seventeen through twenty seventeen
Speaker 2: through twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Here we are twenty five.
Speaker 2: Ok Everson, you may not know this, but you got
Speaker 2: thirty six thousand dollars for winning the Super Bowl. Cool.
Speaker 2: The Bills got eighteen thousand dollars, and they got eighteen
Speaker 2: thousand dollars when they lost to the Cowboys in Super
Speaker 2: Bowl twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Also, so, how much did Nate get?
Speaker 2: Nate would have gotten a Super Bowl twenty seven thirty
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars twenty eight thirty eight thousand dollars one
Speaker 2: and in the Super Bowl thirty was forty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: And that's just for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: So you and you made for the NFC championship whatever
Speaker 2: that was. I'm not going down that rabbit.
Speaker 3: So all right, go down YOURFC NFC.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: Think about when the season began, everyone was across the country.
Speaker 2: We were saying, how much better the AFC is than
Speaker 2: the NFC. And most of that preseason stuff is based
Speaker 2: on quarterbacks, right, Okay, Yet Aaron Rodgers with the Jets,
Speaker 2: so everyone was touting the Jets.
Speaker 4: And they are four and six, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: The Bengals with Joe Burrow, they are five and five. Okay, Cleveland,
Speaker 2: a lot of people thinking Deshaun Watson was going to have.
Speaker 3: At least they're seven and three.
Speaker 2: Yeah they are right now. But now who do they
Speaker 2: have at quarterback? Dorrian Thompson Robinson who by the way,
Speaker 2: if you look in the big green notebook, all right,
Speaker 2: and just overall right now, just think of it. Think
Speaker 2: we just saw last night Philadelphia beat Kansas City on
Speaker 2: the road. If you were just top of your head,
Speaker 2: top five or six teams in the NFL. Who would
Speaker 2: you have on your list top five or six teams?
Speaker 2: I mean, you got to think Philadelphia's got the best
Speaker 2: record in the league, Okay, and where they are right now.
Speaker 2: I mean San Francisco was struggling a few weeks ago,
Speaker 2: but now they're back on track. They're back being San
Speaker 2: Francisco again. So I would put San Francisco up there.
Speaker 2: You got Dallas, you got Detroit and the AFC Baltimore.
Speaker 4: That's what I say.
Speaker 2: So and you got Miami. You know, think about it,
Speaker 2: Kansas City.
Speaker 3: In the AFC, only one team has a better record
Speaker 3: than the Cowboys, and Baltimore has played one more game.
Speaker 4: They're eight and three.
Speaker 3: The other division leader Miami seven and three, Jacksonville seven
Speaker 3: and three, and Kansas City now seven and three.
Speaker 2: You know, my pick from the AFC to go to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl this year was everybody's pick last year.
Speaker 2: Buffalo I thought they would and they're sitting there in
Speaker 2: six and five right now, and Josh Allen is.
Speaker 3: Think about all the people that were on the Jets.
Speaker 3: Now they didn't know Aaron Rodgers was going to get hurt,
Speaker 3: but they're four and six. Maybe the surprise team is
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh at six and four.
Speaker 2: And they just fired their offensive court right to die, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The surprise team is Houston at six and four. CJ.
Speaker 2: Strouds the last three games basically.
Speaker 3: And there's only two teams in the NFC that have
Speaker 3: a better record than the Cowboys. It's Philadelphia at nine
Speaker 3: and one in Detroit at eight and two.
Speaker 2: I just was listening to the Giants announcer Bob Papa
Speaker 2: talk about this and he had his top five. He
Speaker 2: had Philadelphia, San Francisco. He may have put Kansas City
Speaker 2: in there. Four of the five are NFC teams. He
Speaker 2: had Dallas and UH and Detroit. Yeah, Baltimore I think
Speaker 2: may have been in there.
Speaker 3: I can't remember what I was listening to yesterday, if
Speaker 3: it was pre game on the radio or something on TV.
Speaker 3: And they asked whoever the panelst was about the best teams.
Speaker 3: It was on radio, and the guy listed about four
Speaker 3: or five teams, and finally the host goes, what about Dallas.
Speaker 3: He didn't, it didn't include him.
Speaker 4: And it's like, okay, all right, what about Cincinnati?
Speaker 3: And then they got into a discussion.
Speaker 2: In Cincinnati losing Burrow that changes the whole complex out
Speaker 2: of that. Yeah, he's out out for the year. The
Speaker 2: risks crazy. And that's that's the thing when when you
Speaker 2: look even at even just at the NFC, Yeah team
Speaker 2: I have hadn't mentioned how about Whatniver's doing right now?
Speaker 2: You know they're the hottest team in the league right now,
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is. I mean, you look at what here's
Speaker 2: a team that they got beat seventy thank god, you guys.
Speaker 2: This is a team that got beat seventy to twenty
Speaker 2: six weeks ago or whatever. Yeah, now they've won what
Speaker 2: four in a row? Four in a row after that, right,
Speaker 2: and with wins over Kansas City, Oh.
Speaker 4: Top teams, yeah, yeah, top teams.
Speaker 2: Right, and beat Minnesota had one five in a row
Speaker 2: and they beat them the other day.
Speaker 4: So that takes some good coaching. I must admit that
Speaker 4: that does take some good coaching. You get seventy points
Speaker 4: put on you, What do you do after that? How
Speaker 4: do you even come to work after that?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: I was going to tell you what happened until the
Speaker 3: computer messed up here. I was going to tell you that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that'll take forever.
Speaker 2: What what was it about? Kind of?
Speaker 3: I was gonna tell you what Denver did defensively after
Speaker 3: giving up seventy some points, they actually played pretty well defensively.
Speaker 2: They've been playing pretty well defensively ever since. Uh Nathaniel
Speaker 2: Hackett came to town. Who's the offensive coordinator of the Jets.
Speaker 4: Now that was the right, right.
Speaker 2: So Sean Payton has taken the worst coach team in
Speaker 2: the history of football and done wonders with them the
Speaker 2: last month ever since the worst coach of the history
Speaker 2: of football put thirty one on him in early October,
Speaker 2: Hackett hackets with the Jets.
Speaker 4: Okay, so that was with Wilson.
Speaker 5: That what a fire on, right, Sean Payton. He was like,
Speaker 5: let's let's.
Speaker 4: Roll hackets over the quiet now.
Speaker 8: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: And even the next week they lost to Kansas City,
Speaker 2: but they only got up nineteen points to the Chiefs
Speaker 2: that way. They lost nineteen to eight the Broncos, and
Speaker 2: then they beat Green Bay nineteen to seventeen, and then
Speaker 2: they beat Kansas City twenty four to nine. They went
Speaker 2: at Buffalo and they beat Minnesota and now they got
Speaker 2: Cleveland and at Houston coming up on their scheme.
Speaker 4: So that's impressive.
Speaker 3: Sean Payton must be a pretty good coach, must.
Speaker 2: Be, Yeah, so you don't judge it by what happens
Speaker 2: in September either.
Speaker 4: And not even now, you can't judge them by what's
Speaker 4: going on now. It's still a lot of stuff going
Speaker 4: to happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we said here before Thanksgiving, or how I'm sitting
Speaker 2: here touting the NFC teams and okay, let's see it Christmas.
Speaker 2: What we're saying different.
Speaker 3: Well, it's Bill Paracels used to say, chuck with me
Speaker 3: after Thanksgiving and I'll tell you where I think my
Speaker 3: team is.
Speaker 2: That's kind of what Mike McCarthy, I guess, was saying yesterday.
Speaker 5: Said the real football starts now into December, and.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys aren't going to get respect, regular season respect,
Speaker 2: even until Philadelphia comes here December tenth.
Speaker 4: With the winning.
Speaker 2: See how they're doing Philadelphia, and then.
Speaker 3: That scottle Buffalo, Detroit, Troy, Yeah, Detroit, that is on
Speaker 3: my radar.
Speaker 4: Rne too, Savannah. I do not trust them. I love Campbell.
Speaker 4: I mean he's the kind of guy that you know,
Speaker 4: he gets the most out of his players. No one
Speaker 4: thought that what's the quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Name, Jared Golf?
Speaker 4: Golf? No one thought that guy would show the kind
Speaker 4: of calmness that he's showing right now.
Speaker 3: Everybody forgets he was a first round draft choice and
Speaker 3: he actually and he got.
Speaker 4: The Super Bowl, right, I mean, but but something happened,
Speaker 4: you know, he started to he started to diminish and
Speaker 4: now he's not. So it's just like the seventy nothing. Uh.
Speaker 4: Sean Payton was able to get those guys back on track.
Speaker 4: He was able to get Campbell, was able to get
Speaker 4: Golf back on track. And that's hard to do. When
Speaker 4: he was Detroit. You take I'm going to Detroit. Yes,
Speaker 4: you're going to Detroit. Oh okay, how about that. That's
Speaker 4: a trade that worked out for both teams.
Speaker 2: They did, you know, because Rams got Stafford. And one
Speaker 2: of the reasons that Golf was let go by the
Speaker 2: Rams is he's now four or five years in the
Speaker 2: league where now you got to pay him a whole
Speaker 2: lot of money to be what he was.
Speaker 4: Well here they pay a whole bunch of money to
Speaker 4: get that Super Bowl team that track.
Speaker 2: Yes, And by the way, speaking another Sean, he's doing
Speaker 2: a pretty good coaching job. Sean McVay with the Rams
Speaker 2: this year is doing a pretty good coaching job with
Speaker 2: what they have, the talent that they have on their
Speaker 2: roster right now.
Speaker 4: No doubt.
Speaker 3: Well, the amazing thing with Detroit is how they're playing offensively.
Speaker 3: I mean they're scoring a bunch of points.
Speaker 4: They have a lot of talent on that offense.
Speaker 3: When they've gotten beat, the defenses let them down, like
Speaker 3: make sure I hit the Yeah, they got beat thirty
Speaker 3: eight six by Baltimore, And where's there.
Speaker 4: A couple of times that's not Detroit.
Speaker 3: That was then Seattle they got beat thirty seven to
Speaker 3: thirty one. But he beat Kansas City in the season opener.
Speaker 4: That was not a fluke, right, that was not a fluke.
Speaker 2: So and then just last week, they're trailing Chicago with
Speaker 2: three minutes left in the game and they come back
Speaker 2: and win that game. They're down double figures to Chicago, right,
Speaker 2: and come back and win that.
Speaker 4: Now you could say Chicago, but but.
Speaker 2: That says a lot about a team when they come
Speaker 2: back in the last three minutes to win a game
Speaker 2: like that. All Right, we're going to take a deeper
Speaker 2: dive into Washington tomorrow. If you want to do we
Speaker 2: have to.
Speaker 3: Do picks and pod.
Speaker 2: Right, So that's ahead tomorrow at noon here on mcshots.
Speaker 4: Oh Cowboys.
