Mick Shots: Ain’t No Underdogs

couldn't hear. I couldn't. I was sitting right there and everybody laughed, and I didn't hear him, not like you know, I heard the point. Yeah, he just got like hey man, you know soon as he said yes, what was the line? They said five points? He couldn't believe it. No. It was like it was like whose favorite? Yeah right, we we No, No, I'll just say, wow, where nobody's under No quote me on that. I'm going to write that down there you go, right, And so I was thinking

that's gonna be in three inch headlines. Win the game and nobody will know that He was smiling the whole time. No, no, stakes don't go well with that. That's how the banner headlines get started. Five right there? Five points? Whose favorite? He was like, he didn't want to be something. That was what was funny about it. It was like he really he really thought that the Cowboys would be favorite. Ran one against two and two? Right, that's what he's

thinking it must be, is it? No? Well, yeah, that fits right in what I was going to write for Friday. There you go, because I was gonna start off with saying, so why not the Cowboys? Right now? I got my cook to go with it. Five. It started at four, it's up to five now, well five point five? Wasn't it a five and a half? A think? Yeah, I think that's what they said anyway, I mean, that's crazy. I'm sorry that have we shown to be that inept?

All I know is their offensive line hasn't gotten more healthy. It was four. Someone told me four the other day, and I said, well, what they're factoring in on that? From the start? Three points? Three points home and then up quarterbacks one for rush. Now they've added another point? Yeah, but what are they what they have to subtract as well? Well because they sucked right now, let's just be real. Oh look ask your bookie, only he can ask um.

And so that shows what the run is. The early run on the game is that until they're you know, they don't trust us, They really don't. No one trust us. After last year, we're looking so good and take in the playoffs. Well, clearly the betting money on the four point was that it was going all around, it was going too high. Yeah right, yeah, so they raised it

to five and a half. Now, yeah, so there you go, and it's that's so McCarthy's got his Saturday night speech written that he had never he's never used it before, and I don't know that he will. Dogs. Guy, where nobody's under this Bill pass quote right there, right where nobody's underdone? Yeah, that sounds like something he would say, but he'd be like he's sneer when he sayd He wouldn't somehow would he say it in the press conference or just to the team. Oh, he was because that's

how he talks through the team, right exactly. I mean, what do you think Jimmy was doing right? He was talking he press team, Yeah, your team can hear you? Right, it's almost like, oh, now we gotta It's like Jerry said, I you know, when I make my bet with my mouth, you know, now I got to cover the check. That's right. And Age, if you're gonna talk the talk, don't write check. Don't write the check with your mouth that your gass can't cash. That's all. That's all right. So that's what

I got out of Mike mccarthurice conference this morning. Yeah, there wasn't anything kind of meaty or anything like that. That's spice things up a little bit, I'll tell you. He's very complimentary of Aaron Donald, very commentary of Wagner, very complimentary yesterday of Matthew Stafford. I love, I love the exchange on the Trayvon Diggs this. Oh yeah, ask again. Well okay, I just I just said that, and okay,

let me come up with some more adjectives. Well, I just hope everybody is watching Trayvon Diggs and not buying with all these analysts say about he. He gambles, you know, that's why he gets all these interceptions. I want him to know that right now he's leading the league and passes broken up. Yes, he is so and critical ones too, right, we're talking end zone. I mean, you're you're you're ending there their possibilities of coming back. He's got nine pass

breakups in four games. That's a lot of pass bakers, right, it's a lot of used to count yours and you just never Yes, I just I don't even think we went. They didn't. They probably track, They didn't keep track of sacks until night. Do you know what? You know what I called the pass makeup a misinterception, That's what That's the way I looked at unless you're jumping as you can't just step in the right well then uh so, yeah, there was and then I think the other thing was

um and that's why I was almost late. Uh they were gonna do live uh snapping with the two guys that they chose two guys two, Yeah, Overton and Addington. Okay, and Overton's the guy that has experience. I mean he's been with this is I think the Cowboys are his Well it's his seventh go around, two of those with the Chargers, not back to back either, by the way. Uh so he's been around the league. He snapped last Uh I had it written down, but he had been

with Rams, the Rams, that's right. But ms that was this Yeah, this year, it's Chargers last year. Would you like me to run it down for you? Sure, go ahead. Since you got that list, we're okay, so you got to start it. Matt Overton is thirty seven years old, right, okay, from Tracy, California. Okay, you when we start the very top, which would be born Diablow Valley College, oh three h four, Then Western Washington, oh five oh six? All right, the

first NFL. Okay, now seven, I think that adds to it. Yeah, where Castern Washington. Yeah, I didn't know the head of Eastern washn is a red field, but I don't know what color Western Washing the Pacific they safety from Eastern Washington. From Eastern this is Western Washing. Okay has the field? Eastern has the red field. It's Western in the bay or what's in the western it sound I guess Western Washington? All right? Naturally Seahawks this first, okay, and he was

it was just probably the off season. He didn't play in a game the Tri Cities Fever. No, we don't need to Florida Tuskers Seahawks again as a practice squad or offseason edition in two thousand and ten. That was three years after his initial journey there all right, And then he was with the Omaha Nighthawks twenty ten eleven. Is that like indoor and maybe let's let's pretend it

is okay? And then finally finally with the Indianapolis Colts for five seasons twenty twelve through sixteen, Jacksonville seventeen and eighteen. So two years there, Chargers in nineteen, Titans in twenty, Chargers in twenty one. Rams. Yes, M's practice squad this year and now Cowboys practice squad. We'll see if he gets in the game. He made the Pro Bowl in two thousand. Tell you know what. That's with the Colts.

That's the guy right right, because the other guy, the other guy, well he's thirty seven years old though he so we tap the ball, Yeah, just snapped the ball. I don't care if he done. Yeah, they just the last guy didn't hurt his shoulders snapping the ball, did he know he was? So you got to do a little something else. Now he was there was a lack of protection there, right, and he reacted, you know, wrapped the guy and threw him. That shouldn't have done. That

was the problem. Yeah, if if they want solid then you don't. So now, what's the name of the other gent Addington first name? Um, I'm pretty sure Addington would do it. You don't take Addington. I don't take wet hucker Tucker Addington, all right? You talking as he's very young? Uh usfl was his last up and just too. I don't mean to destroy the suspense. But when they went out there, Mike said that they would go live and

kicking drills. So for all the snaps for more kicking field goals, and from what I saw before, I had to leave all the snaps for punter Brian Anger. It was number forty five. So that's the thirty seven year old. That's the thirty seven year old, okay. And they were all good snaps, by the way, there were nothing like over the holder's head or you know, into his body. They were really good. Do they have some type of

algorithm for grading ancy? Yes, longnappers. Well, that was the other funny part in the in the press conference because Todd Archer said, so is it accuracy or speed? And Mike said, well, accuracy and he goes, well, the speed usually one point two seconds, and McCarthy said, I don't have an answer for that. Well, you know what someone should, but I'm sure you have to way out right timing versus accuracy, Yeah, because that's important. And this is big, really, no,

it is. It's bigger than the people think. We saw what happened in against Pittsburgh. I can't remember whether Michael Fitzpatrick played. It was since played since the Cincinnati and the kicker that hadn't missed any kicks. Yeah, and all of a sudden he goes to Pittsburgh, Michael Michael Pittzpatrick cam and there he he dared wrong, he dared correctly right, and and they've got missed the field goal. So that those kind of things can be exploited, especially since the

Cowboys have been relying on field goals. We have been literally kicking four games. Yes, okay, this is what I've gathered on the other guy. Tucker Addington a product of New Braunfeles Canyon High School, two fifteen grad went to sam Houston State. Houston States in the sam Houston State has had a really good football program there and uh through two thousand nineteen UM then two thousand and twenty two with the Houston Gamblers well no USFL two Houston

USFL what does that mean? I don't know what is USFL two? That the second second? Yeah, yeah, Houston Gamblers. Okay, so there you go. And I didn't. I just saw him snapping to warm up and it was fine. But when they went behind the line, uh, Overton got all the snaps that I saw. So they say they signed too to the practice squad. Okay, and they had room and they will elevate one for the next three weeks.

Why why two? Still? They wanted competition, to let him snap against each other, then pick the best one and if he fails, then the other guy still on your practice squad. Right, So a tryout that means they signed just for a tryout, you get signed, well you can, you can work out, but if you stay for practice, you gotta be signed to at least the practice. Okay, let me give you a few more reasons why they signed to Everson. I'm listening, all right. We ran down

his resume. So he's been with the Jags in eighteen, Chargers,

nineteen Titans, twenty Chargers, twenty one Ramp. That's five teams in five years, and so I think you don't want to bring a second guy in just in case, do they give how many games he's he snapped that on that I can find that that would be you know, significant, I think, And they don't have probably any any analysis or stats for snaps like like we had for LP where it was perfect for how many years no bad snaps in eighteen whatever, three straight games it was, yeah,

sixteen seasons. That's should have given the call there. Yeah, all right, Overton, keep talking. So so anyway, that's significant. The other thing in practice, I can tell you that Dak was still doing work on the cords, so he's working on his legs. He still had whatever that protective covering is on his hand that hasn't been taken off. He was a Chargers full time snapper. I'm sall seventeen games last year last year, okay, nine games with Titans

in twenty and no games in nineteen. For whoever, he's must have been eleven games with Jacksonville in eighteen. So with all those years of experience, you can sign the guy, you stay with him, but then you're always looking for somebody less expensive that can do the job. Probably that's what happens when you've got that many years in the league, and you know, unless you're with somebody that they trust you and but they always are looking for somebody cheaper

at that spot. And I did find out that the emergency game day snappers are the tight ends. Uh, Jake first Cincinnati, Yeah, Jake Ferguson and Dalton Schultz are probably the two guys. All right. So now what's going on with Jake Ferguson? Who is on the injury report? He had where's my injury list? It was a knee. He's out there though, okay. And McCarthy said he'd start with Britain and with the idea to work into team. And

and Schultz was I think full uh. And I saw him out ahead of practice before everybody went out, and he was he was working on different things, so he should be good to go. So they won't have they won't have to elevate, uh McEwen, McEwen, right, Okay, they'll have their three guys, okay, all right. So that gets you up to date on what's going on as far as the deep snapper on this team and many other things. And I can't wait for today's mix shot from Mickey

Mickey is looking for his read and we're back here on mix Shots with breaking news from the practice field. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has incorporated holding a football in his side work with Director of Rehabilitation Britt Bright. Holding it a football is now part of the process. But he was holding the football

Post Company dot com. I was almost late back to find and now I can't and then you couldn't chance read all right, So I think I'm ready for a mix shot. What do you think, Everson? Yeah, I'm ready for one two, but make it seems more confused than that. He's ready for to fire off a mix shot right now. He found the read. You were right. It was under the rams. That's what I kept saying. Look, that's the right.

I can't never find my stuff the red. Okay, so you do a mix shot on why you can't find stuff? That's right, Yeah, that happens. You know what you can find though in the mess hall today we can find fair food, really great fair great State Fair of Texas food. So we're talking corny dogs, Fletcher, not just any corny that I don't know Fletchers. No, I think it's the Star corny Dogs, not bad Lakes. Yes, tater tots. That's

why Nate Newton had a smile on his face. He was walking down the Nike Star Walk back from the mess hall. The old Nate. We got skinny Nate. Now that was big Nate. Frozen yogurt. The Nate maybe had some yogurt with him coming down the hallway. Not bad. So when we finish, if you guys want to, so are we saying? So? The players eat this food? Right? They? So? This is this is the State Fair. Food is very nutritious. There's two different stations. Okay, so yeah, I don't know

what station. He's talking about three state Fairs at one and then they'll snicker ball. Is that the one you're talking about. They don't serve. They got peanuts in it. That's supposed to be good for you. Whatever they serve, he or they cook chocolate. Chef Andrew's really good. Okay. And we got great food, by the way, and this will be my last mix shop. We were very grateful that they brought him to training camp this year. I bet you wouldn't. Yeah, you had to ride your back

a little longer and train. That's right, and Nate says, chicken meatballs, baby be and going back to get my two turkey legs. Chicken meatballs. That's good. I like that. Yeah, that sounds good. Blasphem. Did you ever go to Italian restaurant and chicken meat You don't, you don't. You don't replace our substitute the Italian restaurant. They get offended? All right?

Los Angeles Rams the opponent this week. And as we've as firmly established from the outset of this show, the Cowboys are nobody's underdogs, not even against the defending Super Bowl champion Rams. And we know why. You know why he speaks like that. Why does he speak like that? Because he is having flashbacks of doomsday defense back in the nineteen seventies. What was that in the seventies? The five zero game versus nineteen seventy playoff Detroit Lions. One

of my favorite Cowboy games? And what did Tom Landry say that was his favorite Cowboy games? It really said, that's the best defensive game he's ever seen in his entire life. I can still remember, and I think the game mel renfro picked one off, and I think the game wasn't televised locally. Maybe we were picking it up with my dad's Cowboy antenna, so we were picking it up off a Tyler station or Sherman station or something.

Because it was a home game, not a South the Cotton Bowl and nineteen seventy and I remember specifically cold games with a radio, listening to it on the radio, and for some reason, I remember I must have been so nervous on the staircase at my house, okay, listening to it on the radio, And I specifically remember Verne Lunguis calling that game and when mel Renfro picked off the pass to secure the victory five nothing over the Detroit Lions, he exclaimed, listen to this mad house crowd roar.

That's what I remember. It wasn't a mad house. So even let's say nineteen seventy and even seventy three up to seventy three, they're looking at this defense being the four point zero Cowboys defense. So that was Doomsday one. That was doom. That was Doomsday zero. And so did

Doomsday two come along? Like in the nineteen seventies seven Super Bowl went over the Broncos, And so you think about it, Okay, So Randy White was wasn't on the original Doomsday, so he would have been on Doomsday too and too tall, and so I would have been the Doomsday one is the comps. Yeah that's right, And that's right, Yeah, right, that's right. So Doomsday one would have been the Bob Lily Leroy, Jordan mel renfro Cornell Green and go on and on, Chuck Allie, I was kind of going into

the Hall of very soon. David Edwards probably, Yes, he was on that team. Y. So so you go, who Who's Doomsday three? Then I want to say your homework excitement has come up with a nickname for this. Well, they didn't call the Super Bowl team Defense of the Nineties, which was ranked number one in the league in ninety two and they won the Super Boy, it wasn't called Doomsday three. No, it wasn't called Doomsday was anything. That's

why they were called. Everybody focused on that. But you're sitting here with Charles Haley, Dion Sanders, you know, Darren Woodson, who Davin Smith, Ken Norton Junior, and after that I think is Robert Jones was Robert job Jones was a rookie. Leon Lett uh Russell Maryland. It's a squad, guys, it's a heck of a squad. Chad Hennings, Chad Hennings, that's a heck of a squad. But they didn't I called pupa. They didn't. They didn't give them any recognition because everyone

thought that the triplets carried the team. Yeah, and the offensive line as well. You asked what category in nineteen ninety two total yards, give it up? They were number one in the league. You are fifth in points, Uh, give it up. And I just don't remember them, I guess because because we focused so much on the triplets, that's right. And they were also ranked pretty high. I want to say it was either ninety four or ninety six defensively, um, but yeah, no, So your homework assignment

has come up with a nickname for this defense. Excellent. Yeah, okay. In ninety three, number two and scoring defense and scoring offense. They were number ten in yards in ninety three, but some of that is if you're ahead and another team is getting yards on you. They were head a lot. Yeah, and they rarely played from behind. Ninety four. That did ninety four defense, number one in yards given up, number three in scoring defense, number two and scoring offense. I

had it ninety five. They did a little bit of a drop off. They were number three in scoring defense in ninety five, number nine in total yards. Who did defensive coordinate on this in the nineties, Well, well, it started off with Dave Juanstan and then Butch Davis and then Dave Campo. Yes, it was Jim Eddie in there. No, that was the false report. Okay, okay, funny story. That's so.

Myself and Mike Doocey were taping the end of season wrap up early because Jerry well, we were going to the Super Bowl whatever year it was, and Jerry knew who was going to be the defensive coordinator, but he didn't want He looked at us and he goes, oh, I don't know, I got too many ears here. And so John Chang, who had been the TV director, UH, said well, why don't you just give us three and then one of them will be the right one and we'll pick it out, right, So he gave us, uh,

Dave Campbell, Joe Avazano and Jim Eddie Abazano. Yes. So it was like, okay, So when he walked off, I U. I walked off with them, and I said, so if I picked Dave Campbell, am I going off on a limb? Well you're thinking right. So the next morning one of the papers reported that Jim Eddie was going to be uh the defensive coordinator, and so uh it was like, oh, okay uh. And the next morning it was the Cowboys overnight changed their bye. Oh oh that's what he said.

That's the ain't coming this but wow. So so Bill, you're looking at up I mean the eighties, okay, and then let me take it one step further. Even in ninety six, I said ninety six, didn't I what do you say? But I said they were not really good number three defense, scoring defense, and total yards while the offense was twenty fifth ranked scoring in ninety six. And then okay, let's take it to ninety seven. Michael Irvin missed the first six games, and that is ninety seven

number two in yards given up. But I'm side, that's that's an amazing streak they have going right there. Yeah, consistent top ten, Yes, top five. You look at the top five and almost every eight they were third in scoring defense. Well, just keep going, boy, if Dave Campo's listen, yeah, that's my defenses there, that's my defenses. If he was yelling, I could hear him. Get to the early they receiving

even top five and ninety nine. Get to the early two thousands when Zim took over, and it was either two thousand and two or two thousand and three. Two thousand fell off to twenty second. Yeah, now you want like two thousand and one, two and three, somewhere in there. They I think they were number one. They have to be. That was when they That was when Quincy was that right. Two thousand and one they were fourth. Two thousand and

two fell back to eighteenth coaching change. Oh three, here comes parcels and running a three, running in four to three still but Zimmer and oh three, number one, number two and scoring defense and number one in yards. About that for memory, Mike Zimmer, I couldn't find my read, but bar I know those number ones. So the eighties and then fell off in O four by the way to twenty seventh and scoring defense. And that's when the

switch was made to the three four D defense. And DeMarcus ware was your number one pick and Marcus Spears. Spears was nine sex later first round, So no one's interested in the eighties. The eighties, no super Well besides two thousand, no one really cares about the eighties because we did not go to a Super Bowl. So we are always the red headed step child. They forget about the eighty eighty one and eighty two. Now, I don't know how I know. Passing we were always near the bottom,

but interceptions, of course at the top. How was how was our run defense in the eighties? That's uh, that was something that we hung our hat on because that was supposed to counter our inexperience. Why we need a media guy who didn't hear your run defense? You want to start? What year eighty one? Okay, eighty one the defense was seventh ranked seventh and scoring defense twentieth in yards run defense sixteenth in the league. Okay, okay, now he fast forward to eighty two. Well that was only

nine game. It was a nine game, but still they have a ranking third in scoring defense thirteen and run defense a eleventh, and past defense eighty three was probably still eighty three at twelve and four season, twentieth in scoring defense, number two in scoring offense, and but number two in rush defense. So that past defense ever so so every yeah, I know it was gonna be tough. I tol you. We got the fifth, got the pigs. He was making a lot of tackles that you Yeah,

that's right. They had eighties on their jerseys. And see what happened in the eighties, the flex started to become exposed. You know, Chicago was running on as well, because you know he comes Walter pay great running backs. Of course in the eighties and twenty years from the figured out that zone blocking is what they needed. You had the Hogs came through, You had the Rams with Jackie Slader, ken Hill had a great offensive line. Eric Dickerson still

he's still running on us. I'm still I still see his legs and I running in front of them. By the way, and he has h so that he average went over two hundred yards on us every time he played. So speaking including uh, I hate to bring this up. The play I just happened to be on that page right now. That playoff loss to the Rams. It was thirty four carries for two hundred and four Was that here? That was there? Well? Yeah, and thirty four carries two

hundred and forty eight yards and two touchdowns. Thirty four carries twenty twenty to nothing Rams. He had a quarterback that was Spags Height from Canada, Deeter Brock, who was six of twenty two for fifty yards to that game. Nicky would have been six for twenty and one interception. It should have been two. Mirandy White jumped offside. I wonder who got that interception? One? Who got both of them? You're welcome. Okay, So there you go. There's your trip

down memory. Defense, Defense wins championships. There you go. All right, we continue with more mix shots in a moment. We paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh look at that. That's not the end, No way. Now it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right? Five times not enough times for everyone who traded in rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi

zero sugar. That's what I like. Nobody protects you from mayhem, like all states. You hear that, I'm a torrential downpour.

Torrential what does that even mean? It means you can't see out of your windshield and if you have the wrong car insurance, you might have to make it rain to fix your bumper, So switch to All State, save money and be better protected from Mayhem like me based on coverage in them, It's selected center to turns, conditions and availability in most states, Prices vary based on how you buying.

Okay, so we were taking a trip down memory lane Cowboys rams at infamous playoff game back in nineteen eighty five when Eric Dickerson went for thirty four carries, two hundred and forty eight yards and two touchdowns and the Cowboys lost twenty to nothing despite two interceptions by Eversons. Altho one is in the record book and that was the That was the eighty five eighty five season. Fast forward and does

history repeat itself in some ways in the playoffs? Will we take you to twenty eighteen and the Cowboys headed west again to take on the rams and the playoffs at Memorial Coliseum, that's right. And we sat in a basically converted press box that was a trailer they stuck up there. Yeah, that's where they played the game. They were renovating it for Southern Cow before they moved to Sofi and the press box was a trailer they duck up on one of the corridors, and the bathroom were

porta potties out in the hallways. See that when you talked, when you started talking about history. Yeah, yeah, that's the kind of facilities you have. Yeah, yeah, because I mean I was to play there. For me, that was amazing to play in the La Colise and that's when the Raiders moved to town. And you know, I had a good game there and everything, but I felt really proud

to play that. That was pretty broadcast a game from on top of the press box at the Colie CM in La I was in law school at the time. Wow Oklahoma played Southern cal number one versus number two teams in the country. I broadcast the game for the student station KGO you Radio. The look is beautiful. John Mazer threw a touchdown pastor Fred Cornwell with two second two seconds left in the games as the Trojans beat the Sooners. I came home to Norman, Oklahoma. I called

my dad in tears and said, I'm quitting lost. He said, and he was an attorney. He said, good, because you should have never been in law school to begin with. You need to go be a sportscaster. So that is my because you were such a good sports casting because I had nolue no exactly. So I went to Lubbock. I went to Lubbock, Texas, first TV job in Lubbock, Texas, making less than twelve thousand dollars a year, and met

my wife and still married today. And your dad did not want to tell you, no, no, he said, I had to go. He wanted he wanted to let me find out for myself a lesson learn follow your passion and wasn't it wasn't. He knew I shouldn't be there, but he knew I had to learn that lesson. What wasn't What was the policy of him? Just just beautiful, you know, the glass and unbelievable, you know, you know what the neat thing was is out in the outside part on the the side that they have are the

is it columns? Or whatever they call there. They've got plaques of all the big events there along with some of the stars that played in base You guys probably don't remember this. I do. Uh, the fifty nine World Series the Dodgers in the White Sox. The Dodgers were playing their home games at the Coliseum, so there was the deal. The center field went forever and the shortest ports right field was like two hundred seventy seventy. Yeah. Yeah,

and so they got a plaque commemorating that. Yeah right, yeah, no, no, the White Sox. The White Sox were one of two teams in the fifties that beat out the Yankees for the World Series. The other one was Cleveland I want to say fifty four. And the manager both of those teams was the same, Al Lopez. How about that for some us? But you know, the neat plaque was they have the Olympics, both of them that were there, and they've got listed the winners in all the track events.

I did not see. That was pretty cool. I did not see. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's on the outside. That's on the outside outside of the Okay, yeah, that's why where they had the food trucks Okay, can I get back to correlation with the nineteen eighty five Remember Dickerson went for thirty four, two, forty eight and two.

Well in twenty eighteen, as we all saw, C. J. Anderson and Todd Gurley combined for thirty nine carries for two hundred and thirty eight yards and three touchdowns against the Cowboys in that thirty to twenty two Rams win. And that was with Sean McVeigh as the coach, and of course the Rams wound up going to the Super Bowl lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. But all right, this is a Sean McVay coach. Ram's team that has been successful in the past, has proven against

the Cowboys in a playoff game. If they can run the football, even with Jared Goff at quarterback, they can go to a Super Bowl. But they didn't run the ball early this year, right, They're they're well running backs, Harry right, Um, they've got well it's not C. J. Anderson or Todd Gurley right there. Oh, yes, the two of those guys made up one Dickinson. So they're they're

the sixteenth. Oh you want offense running the football, they're thirtieth right now with Darryl Henderson and Cam Acres and against San Francisco the other night, Henderson had seven carries for twenty seven yards and Acres had eight carries for thirteen yards. So they had fifteen carries for forty yards combined against the Niners on Monday night, and they weren't doing it. And they did not score a touchdown in that game. So look up twenty twenty. Rams beat the

Cowboys in the regular season twenty to seventeen. I want to say they had a pretty good running day they did that day if I remember correctly. Twenty twenty. All right, we're supposed to do this homework before the show, right, it's more fun doing it this way. Season opener? Was that it? Season opener? Yeah, that was it. COVID home game, twenty to seventeen Rams win, and it was or went the page. Forty carries one hundred and fifty three yards for the Rams. Boy, that's that's pushing it. I mean,

that's really pushing it. And they had Malcolm Brown, who's by the way back on the team, eighteen carries seventy nine yards and two touchdowns. The former Texas Longhorn cam Akers went fourteen for thirty nine in that game, and the last win the Cowboys had there was twenty nineteen

Cowboys scored. Oh this was a home game though forty four twenty one was the twenty nineteen the last Cowboys win, and the Cowboys corning to this, it's not counting the playoffs, says they have won four of the last six meetings Danny, dating back to twenty eleven, So really for the last twelve if you count the playoffs. Okay, So to complete this, let me look at that twenty nineteen game and the

Rams in that game fourteen carries twenty two yards. So that's so we might have landed on nuggets all because Dickerson ran over. Odd Gurley has eleven carries for twenty yards in that game against the Cowboys. That was the injured Todd Gurley. He just wasn't the same after a while. You know why the Rams only ran for that little in that game because the Cowboys got up on him early. First. At the halftime score of that game was twenty eight

seven Cowboys. They led at one point thirty seven to seven. In the fourth quarter, you don't run the football much

when you're trailing thirty seven seven. Yeah, we were kind of pissed off that game, which gets back to get ahead, right, If you go back at last year, how many times did the Cowboys fall behind in the first half of games by double digits and they lost if you can look at every single one of the losses, and in the first half they fell behind by double digits and they had to throw throw, throw, which you know they did it well, but you don't want to have to

do that. And so why I are you know this year they're not running it great, but they're not falling behind because you got a defense that's right right back to where we started. I don't care who's playing quarterback. If you fall behind by double digits in the second quarter of a game, it's a lot more difficult. It's the backup quarterback, that's right, all right. So that was a productive listening to this, all right, And so we'll have a fabulous football Friday State Fair edition of mix

Shots coming your way on Friday at noon. Go Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
