Mick Shots: Losing Reasons

No matter how well the Cowboys played for nearly three quarters or scoring 34 points, usually enough to win any game, the guys break down the reasons and moments why the Cowboys were beaten by the Jaguars 40-34 in overtime. Most of those centered on the defense giving up 503 total yards and failing to put enough pressure on Trevor Lawrence. Plus breaking down injuries that their absences are causing diminishing returns.

Mick Shots: Nitty Gritty

The guys get down to brass tacks on this Jacksonville game, discussing the best option of who takes Terence Steele’s spot at right tackle and how much if any T.Y. Hilton might play Sunday. Then there is Jacksonville, how well Trevor Lawrence has been playing and how well the Jaguars have been protecting their quarterback. Meaning the Cowboys better not be taking anything for granted since the jags have a lot on the line still. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

Mick Shots: Room For Hilton

Since Bill missed Monday’s podcast, the guys get his thoughts on the win over Houston. Then a little stretch run talk, and how the NFC East could go down to the final week of the season. And then a deep dive into T.Y. Hilton, the first show after the new wide receiver’s press conference and just what he brings to the team. Also anticipating what the offensive line shuffle might look like with the loss of Steele and addition of Tyron. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

Mick Shots: Win Is A Win

No matter how many things went wrong for the Cowboys, somehow, someway, they recovered to beat the Texans. Even though the Texans scored 23 points, the guys gave big props to the defense for hanging in there, especially stopping them on downs from the 4-yard line. But now how do the Cowboys replace Terence Steele at right tackle and how soon might Tyron Smith be ready to go. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mick Shots: Ball Talk

Mick Shots: Cover Four

The guys covered a lot of ground today, starting with an injury update, and on the Texans, too. More Odell info, and possibly why the Cowboys have decided to pass at this point, lack of availability.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dec 08, 202250 min

Mick Shots: Shooting Straight

As was discussed the other day, this Odell Beckham Jr. dalliance was going to come down to how soon he’d be available play. The Cowboys were skeptical about this season, so for now they have moved on. But keep an eye on James Washington, plus Tyron Smith back in practice and another stat bringing Everson’s career into light. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dec 01, 202253 min

Mick Shots: Roster Churning

Adding a wide receiver to the practice field, subtracting a defensive end and Tyron getting close. The Cowboys making the right call on Tyler Smith and beware the Colts, especially the defense, having held the Eagles to just 17 points. And a PSA from Mickey when having to renew your Texas driver license. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 30, 202248 min

Mick Shots: Go Time

After winning two of three games in a 12-day period to reach 8-3, it’s time for the Cowboys to make hay, playing three consecutive games against teams with losing records. But they must take care of all these penalties. And then there is the wide receiver position, how good it’s become and how much better it might become. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 29, 202251 min

Mick Shots: One Last Look

With no show on Friday after the Cowboys 28-20 victory over the Giants on Thanksgiving, the guys looked back one last time and what stood out in the game, especially the running of Ezekiel Elliott, Dak’s second half performance, the overall defensive effort minus the Giants late garbage touchdown and picks that didn’t click. Then, time to move on to the Colts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 28, 202250 min

Mick Shots: Thanksgiving Day Game Ready

Up to the minute injury report, especially on the Giants decimated offensive line and then the illness striking the Cowboys defensive front.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 23, 202248 min

Mick Shots: Special Team

Can this Cowboys team be special? And how special is their kicker, Brett Maher. And how special was this defense after that falloff in Green Bay. Also, another comprehensive injury report, especially with a flu bug hitting the locker room, causing several players to miss practice with “illness,” and the latest on meeting with OBJ. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 22, 202249 min

Mick Shots: Cowboys Stampede

In the true spirit of the old fight song, the Cowboys did stage a stampede in Minnesota, orchestrating a dominating win over the Vikings thanks to both lines, offensive and defensive, dominating in the game, along with Micah Parsons and Tony Pollard. Then there was Trevon Diggs dominating Justin Jefferson and Dak having a field day, not to mention Maher’s perfection. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 21, 202236 min

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 16, 202246 min

Mick Shots: Handymen

With help from what DQ and Jerry Jones had to say in the aftermath of the 31-28 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday, Everson, Mickey and Nate coming out of the bullpen again try to fix what is ailing the Cowboys defense, especially when defending the run, because 28 points should be enough to win a game. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 15, 202246 min

Mick Shots: Run Down

The Cowboys had only themselves to blame for the 31-28 loss to Green Bay in overtime. They knew the Packers were going to run the ball, and no matter what else took place in the game, the Packers ability to run the ball drove the Cowboys out of town. And then were some so highly questionable officiating decisions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 14, 202250 min

Title Town, here come the Cowboys, ready for the weather, the grass field and the mystique of Lambeau Field, the guys also taking a walk down Cowboys-Packers memory lane, especially those NFL Title games in 1966 and 1967, and how few players are still with the Cowboys since last beating the Packers in 2016.
