Mick Shots: Always Something

we start? Mickey Spagnola, where would you like to start? Build? The Cowboys are back at practice indoors, indoors, and a shorter practice because they're getting ready for an uncommon opponent and they wanted Mike wanted the team to watch more film. I thought it was because they had a Sunday night game that was part of it, and they got back late.

So he come on to keep him off his feet, off their feet a little bit longer, but it was going to be a shorter keep him off his feet and Dak yeah, well somebody somebody asked him about Dak and he said, well, he'll be limited, but this is going to be a limited practice. So if he's limited in a limited practice, he's probably full so everybody's limited. So everybody's limited today. So he was out there doing

all the same stuff he's been doing, looking fine. Uh taken, And this time instead of continuing and do his rehab stuff, he was over with the quarterbacks and the centers taking their pre practice snaps and he was working with be honest, So that's done. If nothing, if he was going to play, there's the sign. So there's the sign right there. Right, he's status quo. That's what he wants through this limited practice and be a full go tomorrow. Yes, full practice absolutely. Okay,

so we've solved that riddle. Now what other riddle would you like to address? Hold on guys, you know that sneaky Now, they were very sneaky last week. So yeah, my feelings are hurt because I wasn't in on everything last week. Well i'll tell you what bags you should have told me, man, because I know you were in there. They got to feel very good about how it turned out, and I don't think they want to push the envelope

any further. Okay, So next riddle, what about left tackle? Well, now, all we could see them do was their little position drills, and they were doing this, uh half a line most of the time, so it was three guys against two guys and a linebacker. They would act like they were the linebacker, right. So when they had the three man little deal out there passing guys off, there was a center be Idish, there was a guard Martin, and there was a tackle Lale Collins h on the right hand

side of the center. Okay, so that's the way they were doing that drill. Now I'm not saying when they get in the team that's the way they're gonna line up, but if you see the left wing. But at one but at one point they had that I had to set you up. Okay, you can't. You can't tell the end right away. And then just before they chased us out, they did have a five man line out there. Terren Steele was to the left. So what do you hear yesterday here on Mike shots that that's probably what they

would do. Because Terren Steele took naps in training camp at left tackle and tied and the Secki was standing off to the side watching And as far as I remember back, the last time Lyle Collins lined up as a left tackle was LSU, I would think so so so well was Tyland Smith doing this? He did not practice and as Mike said, Tyrant, he'd be hard pressed to play this week. Really, yes, So the bone spur must be a significant spur, you know, I don't. I

don't feel threatened by that at all. I don't. I think this team is starting to look look at the long haul, you know, or did you just look at the Broncos depth chart and their edge rushers. I don't care who it is. Okay, I'm not gonna lie. We know they don't have Von Miller anymore. I don't. I don't care who's not been there. I can look it

up for you. I don't care who it is U. And that's why I was here, that this team is starting to look long term, almost just automatically, and only because we have that bad luxury to do that, because of the talent that we have, because the depth that we have. I think this is the moment where you know how you run. They say it's a marathon, it's not a sprint, right, I'm looking at this season. It's not a marathon. Your career will be a marathon, you know I'm talking about This is like a This is

like a four hundred. It's four hundred meters. My dad used to say, if you can go four hundred at that time, if you go four hundred forty yards when he told me this, he said, you can do anything in the world. That's what he told me. So you see the pace that you run in the four hundred, that's what this season is. Started off strong first one fifty. Now we're going to kind of just kind of cruise, not just kind of like flatlined, you know what I mean,

just flat road. It just flat roaded. Right now. We're not you know, we're not trying to blow everyone out. We're trying to I think we're trying to see how we're reacting to so many different scenarios. I think we're testing ourselves as we go along to see what scenarbios will work best for us. Here's what gives me confidence going forward if indeed they go that way, is that Monday when Mike talked about left tack or tackle whatever

they might do, he said, well, we've got options. Basically I'm not telling you, but a lot will depend on game planning, so to me, and this is what gives you confidence. They have made the necessary moves to compensate for guys' absences. They haven't just told somebody, Okay, go in and do what Tyran does, or go in and do what Layo does. They've game planned using their resources to compensate for maybe a lack of talent at that

spot because you've got somebody else stepping in. And I think last year in that regard was the old blessing about it because because we went through so much crap and we deal so many lessons, still paid a heavy price for having to play as an inexperienced starting tackle in the National Football League that he probably had no business in there right, but out of necessity, and he

grew up. Let's look at from a team standpoint, defensively, it was the best thing to happened, because now we realize all those mistakes that we made, we're not making the same mistakes. We are learning from them, not just as individuals, but just as a team overall. You know,

that's that to me, that's a sign of maturity. Don't come in here and think you're going to reinvent the wheel in one offseason that there was no off season and barely a training camp and no preseason but then you're going to do all of this exotic stuff on defense, and once again, you know created what creators do, I guess you know, as the as the second half of the season went down, defense actually started to get better. Yes, you know, guys started to learn what was going on.

So you kind of use that as momentum coming into this season. That's the only reason last season to me was you know, a little bit important, you know, for us. So you need to preach to the folks out there because I think there's a lot of fans out there might be people listening to us. I don't know that are they want to get excited about this team, but they're hesitant because they're scared. And it's like, okay, it's seven games in now, and we've seen some evidence that

this thing could be pretty good. But what you got to remember is just enjoy the journey. Don't keep looking at the end. Right, Oh, they're not going to win the Super Bow. How about just you know, let's win the Yeast first, win a playoff game, maybe two, and then see what happens. But don't start looking at the end because you're scared. That's that's what I mean, That's what I mean, we're just flat We should just flat road it now. Keep your head down and keep just

keep grinding, keep grinding. And you're not trying. Like I said, you're not trying to just blow everyone out. You're only playing to your potential each week. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Understand that you have a long season to go to where you can still get better, but just at a proper pace. That's all it is, because it's all about timing going to the playoffs. It really is all about timing. That's why I want everyone to be shored up. And it kind of seems like we

have that luxury this year. And in the NFL, when you have a good team, a contending type team, there are going to be some blowouts along the way. But just as easily those blowout wins, they could just as easily be a coin flip game too. You just you don't know. It just kind of you and it's overcoming obstacles along the way that makes the journey fun to watch it on a week to week basis. I mean, the last two weeks are two great cases in point.

Each one of those games could have gone the other way, so we'd be sitting here four and three instead of six and one, if they have the Cooper doesn't get that right. I mean we can point to specific plays and both of those games that had that not happened or if that whatever, you know that that the previous way, the two previous years, that that would have totally been another. But what's fun about it is they put together a roster to be able to offset losses so far, you know, right.

And I think this was the kind of the message Mike was given. I don't know if it was the team, but somebody asked him about his about the team where they're at, you know, what his feelings are, And he said, and I'm paraphrasing because I wrote this down as he was speaking, he said, we're winning different ways, getting over the adversity hump, more confidence after the last two games because there was different things they had to deal with.

Right now where he's talking about freaking Mojoe moment, I'm telling you, man, that's what it is. Because every time that we do make a mistake, somehow we answer to where that mistake is minimized, and then it keeps us in a game in striking conditions that like like the Patriots game. He kept us in striking position. Even when it came to the Chargers game as you're going on the road. That did I really thought that did a whole lot for us. Casey's interception in the end zone.

To me, that right there, that was one of those how you hit the crossroad and a lot of a lot of decision making where things could have happened one way or the other. That was just like that first cross road because if he makes that in say, if he doesn't make that interception, then we probably lose that ball down. How about how about the image of the head coach right now compared to a year ago? Oh yeah, when when a year ago? A month ago? But what's

what does he do? And and well and on the heels of a year ago where this crazy guys going forward on forth that or other these fake months and all this stuff, you know, and uh, it just takes last game for instance, Uh Randy Gregory the plays on the sideline. It just the camera just catch captures McCarthy on the sideline saying something, have no idea what he said to Gregory after the late hits, you know, on that position all right, And I'm Betty said that just

keep playing, keep playing with your aggressive way. Right, there were the Mojoe moments that we chronicled, you know, and now those you can see those Mojoe moments. Oh what genius. I mean they've worked on that every single day. All right, it was on hot night. Think about Think about what is some of the things Jimmy's remembered about as cutting players. Yeah, John Roper also sleep in a team meeting. Oh Jimmy,

he's not gonna put up with that. But what would he do if it was Michael or Emma who fell asleep in the meeting? Mickey told told the guys just let him sleep about they Curvin Richards, okay, alright, last regular season two, yes, the season was over. He fumblest season and uh he fumbles twice in the fourth quarter

of a blowout game. And Jimmy was so upset after that game and the next day cuts Curvin Richards and all they had at the running back position going into the playoffs in ninety two was Emmett Smith, Darryl Johnston, and Tommy ag And Jimmy said, Nope, where I can't trust this. Curvin Richards, who was a fourth round draft pick the year before, by the way, Yeah, and and so Tommy Ag if something happens to him, it Tommy AG's my running back going into the Philadelphia game and

the playoffs. Okay, so now fast forward, So to go back to Landry too. There you go, gick out some stuff. Go ahead. So now fast forward to yesterday. Bradley and I. Okay, Bradley and I. Thirty six hours after he jumped off sides on the punt. Okay, that gave new life to the Vikings. They went down and kicked a field goal to take a ten three lead in the game. What

did Jimmy do on Tuesday afternoon? He cut that? Bradley and I didn't he make it except if he clears waivers, they'll probably put him on the probably put him on the I gotta say, well that when the other thing that camera caught McCarthy. Now everybody's gonna say, you see that McCarthy. Yeah, he's got in charge of the game. He's not taking any of this. He's gaining that Jimmy refutation. You know, when theeree, because it was a five yard penalty and he got five and a half, you need

to know what to do. It's fact. Yeah, it was probably he did it just the right way. That was your fault. And I, okay, you blew that. Come on, I don't be an idiot. And this we go out Hey, man, I don't know what the hell is going on with those referee Go out there and keep balling, but how does that happen? Five yards is five yards not five and a half. And so all of that was understood. That was inferred doing their conversation. We all know it was BS, get your butt out there and keep on balling.

That's it. And the point is the point is the point it was not cut because he jumped off right and and and the point is that they were probably they probably have three I mean they have three moves they have. That's kind of timely. He just yeah, you think it like felt a little good or something that's a little But if Jimmy was coaching the team, he would have everybody Jimmy, He's not gonna put up with that, because if you think about it, he basically said, wait,

stop before we take a break. Did you guys see Fox Fox H post game this weekend, after the after after the after the noon game, after the noon guy, dude, Jimmy is still beating me down about us getting into it after the way, bro. He brought it up again, how transition. They were talking about how sorry a team was playing, I think because I think Detroit was playing or something, and so he compared it. Oh, I just had him, great player, everything I had to tell him,

and he was just usful. Will you shut up, Jimmy, just beating a dead horse? You know, first of all, tell the entire story number one second, about to shut the hell up with that dude. He puts that in his motivational speeches. I need a cut, you know what I'm saying, Give me something. He brought it up twice on that same show, and I'm thinking to myself, you made the Hall of Fame. Can you not block me a little bit? Can you give me some love? I mean, goodness, gracious,

And I had to bring that up. Guy. That just got to me like, well, he bought it up. I knew it was coming. I'm sitting there, minded my own business, you know, not worried about the anything until tonight. You know, I'm trying to I know I'm gonna be Norvo was watching the game and I just I felt it. I knew he was gonna say, yeah, that's just like a go ahead, just a great player. Oh, here we go. But but at least he said you had a great play. Yeah,

that's he's just started saying that. Now, how that Belichick as he doubses my Hall of Fame. Yeah, now that Belichick says you belong in the hall, right right? He had to kind of balance to be at that end of game thing. Yeah, yeah, my life. But but the narrative this week, if Jimmy we're coaching this team is he doesn't care he's getting the attention to this team. They're six and one. They can't start feeling good about themselves because, by Gully, if you jump offsides on a punt,

he's gonna cut you on Tuesday. Yeah right, right, if if it was, if it was, if it if it was Zach Martin jumping off side, you know, okay, we'on't pick up third and ten instead of third and five. Right, Well, I think he would. I think he would definitely coast and have those same words. But Zach would be on the field, as he said, he wouldn't be. He wouldn't

even hear it. Right, So here's the bottom line. I was gonna say then, we can go to break when they asked about when he was asked about Michael Gallup talking he can do more of this week, possibly play, he said, I hope, So we'll see see how the work goes this week. But if if he's coming back, they put Jabril Cox on IR, so they need another linebacker, so probably Fancis Bernard who started his IR return And it looks like Sean McEwan is ready to come back.

So they were gonna need three spots. Well they got three spots now and and so for the rest of the guys that are coming back, the guys, somebody's got to get cut right, So don't be jumping off side either either don't jump off sides or make sure you pull a hamstring. All right, So now you know the rest of the story and more if from Mickey's legal pad. When Mick shots continues in a moment, Honey, big news, Gary, Are you okay? Oh? I'm not Gary anymore.

Okay, So Gallop once again, no surgery, Uh, no surgery. It was a calf, just calf, okay, and so and he was so the beginning of practice, Gallop, Zeke and Dak were on the cords with Britt doing there. They're basically resistant stuff. And then he finished early and he was over with the

ride receiver. So it looked like he was going through all of practice. I mentioned no tyring in practice, Jarwin with a hip uh not in practice? Digs Diggs was there, Okay, I would imagine he was going to be limited. And that's the same foot. Is that the same foot that that he's been having the ankle ankle? Yeah? I think

it was. And then what are the odds of that he's trying to make a tackle down low looking kicked by and the thing that happened, and this was because when when I told Nate that Gyrowin missed, he goes. I knew it. I knew it, he goes. They just threw a bad pass and he got hit like that he goes that was the quarterback's fault. Kind of let him in. Remember our discussion about the dbs. So uh so Elsie was dressed, Diggs was dressed, Tristan Hill was

dressed practicing Joseph, and Joseph was out there. So yeah, okay, and he played may look good with that number one. Didn't need twenty four special special teams. Yeah, he had two, what two defensive snaps and I think he had like seventeen um special team snaps. Yeah. So, if you look around the rest of the National Football League and you take a gander at the standings, especially in the NFC, you will find the Cowboys at six and one leading

the NFC East. You will find the Cardinals and the Rams at seven and one tied atop the NFC West. The Buccaneers have fallen to six and two now atop the NFC South, and the Packers are at seven and one leading the NFC North. And the Packers have a matchup the marquee matchup in the league on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Why can't wait for Patrick Mahomes versus Aaron Rodgers some guy named Love oh Jordan Love, Yeah, versus Patrick Mahomes. He's been he's been immune immunized, but

but not vaccinated. Right right? What was known? How he just got the benefit of the dad just because yes, you guys are horrible man, you know, not really just stop man, y'all never let us get away with that back in the nineties and eighties. Now all of a sudden, oh, just because he's Aaron Rodgers. He's amazing and he's so good and he could just say anything he wants to be, like, Okay, dude, thank you. Now he goes along and everyone starts thinking about it. Hey, that is an odd word did he use,

isn't it? I mean you just finally remember that they asked him that this summer. You guys are just now on to it. I mean, come on, man, stop being so google guy. This guy man was chicken pox. I don't know what that means. You know, did he drink something? You know, evidently he did something and he wanted the NFL to qualify that as getting vaccinated. Yeah, he tried to create some sort of he tried to create his own narrative. Let's just yeah, that's all he did. Yeah,

and y'all fell for it. So you're thinking the Cowboys, these guys at the top that they've been chasing, maybe one by one. The Cardinals lost last week, yes, and so they felt to the Packers, who, by the way, they were. One of the reasons the Packers had to run the ball so much against the Cardinals was because COVID had hit their team and Davante Adams and um uh Lazard was a close contact. He couldn't play in

that game. Their defensive coordinator who was out as well in COVID protocol, and so uh so the Packers may have some more so coming up and so well. So now you got the Packers playing a game against a Chiefs team that has struggled, but they now don't have their quarterback going up against my homes. So this can impact the Cowboys in the guests in the UH. As we look ahead two months to a playoffs scenario, got

to start thinking long term. We got to start thinking to where we have that timing just right to where we hit the ground running. Did the Rams have a tough game coming up? They they're in the West, So yeah, that's a given. I think they week nine. This is Week nine, that's right, the Titans, but they don't have Derek Ray. They do have Adrian get Adrian Peterson by gol.

I wonder if Adrian Peterson will be ready to go if Texas from Texas, come on, Bill, you know the baby from Texas, East Texas to go, baby East Texas. That's right, even better, that's right. That's what my people. That is the Sunday night game, the Rams and the Titans. So interesting. But again, take care of yourself. Another thing that I saw in regards to the rest of the league, the top MVP candidates in the NFC or the in

the NFL. I guess, MVP candidates, who would who would be your top three in the NFC or then let's go NFL top three? I know my first one? Well would that Brady be my first? Okay, Derrick Henry probably be up there, but not now. But well, at this point you set up to this point. Okay, let's go nods. You got to be on the field odds to win? Oh okay, all right, let me find it on here did did did the Cowboys winning without DAK help or reduces qualifications? Let's say here? And you also got to say,

who's coming up with this MVP odds? This is from Vegas. This is from your favorite source. What's your favorite source? P f F from PFF Pro Football Focus. Okay, okay, Pro Football Focus. Is Matthew Stafford your MVP favorite? He's right up there, Yeah, he's right up there. Anyway, they the three that they have, which I retweeted with a hashtag, Dallas Matthew Stafford forty nine percent, Dak Prescott twelve percent, Kyler Murray eleven percent. Two from Dallas and one who

plays in Dallas. No, Brady, two from Dallas and one who plays in It's very good, Bill. Yeah, so Aaron Rodgers wasn't in that. He was not nobody in the discussion. Well, because Green Bay so good that he's not carrying that team's according to Pro Football Focus, your favorite entity. So wait, wait, no, Brady, I guess that's the way they've graded it. I don't know, I don't understand how you can crade that. I mean,

I don't know. I never Grady too much quitted, But Dan, he's bawling, now you know why I said, PFF, Yeah, he's bawling. Someone replied, that's weird because Josh Allen is the betting favorite. Apparently, the betting favorites are Josh Allen, Kyler, Murray Dak Prescott, Tom Brady, Matthews, Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, Lamar. I'd put him at the bottom of that list, which is still a great list, but I'd put him at the bottom of it anyway. So you just brought the

house down. I just thought it was interesting. Yes, it was because of the Dallas connection. It's exactly right. Yeah, absolutely, yea, all right, what else is in your legal pad? H Let's see. Oh with Um, I was talking about guys that they might have to activate this week make room for him with Jarwin, depending on his hip, they need another tight end. So I would think if McEwan is ready, then there's your tight end. You got to bring them

up and that. But they've got three spots, so linebacker, tight end, um, and wide receiver that would be three spots. I'd love to see Joe and start kind of getting back into his with him. Yeah. That was too bad. Yeah, because he was it looked like it and he I mean there were a couple of passes he was open. He missed them. He was high or wide or behind whatever it was, but he was open down with him hip yep, he's out. He's not going to practice today,

So we'll see what happens going forward. M Well, I mean, there's only so many balls to go around. True, that's true. You gotta you know, going up against a Broncos team this week that coached by Vic Fangio, And have you seen where they rank on defense scoring defense Denver? Yes, number two in the league scoring defense. I saw that. Well, defense is not their problem. Their problem has been offense. Now you talked about the missing the two edge rushers

they've had. Chubb's been out almost all of the sites. Now Miller miss last week and actually, tell me a few guys are heard of this. So they're listing their strong side linebacker and week side linebacker because they play a three four. The starter on the week side is Malik Read backed up by Aaron patrick Um and then on the strong side it's Jonathan Cooper backed up by Stephen Weatherly. Weatherly they just traded for here in the

last week. He played his first game this past week, all right, And Cooper is a rookie KY seventh round draft pick out of Ohio State. And they just played Baron Browning for the first time all year on defense and They've got him listed as their starter in one of their starting inside line He's a third round pick from Ohio State out of Kennadale Baron and the other starting inside linebacker is justin. Yeah, I'll try that Stern. I'm trying to I'm trying to see if it was

a type. No, they're in the wrong order. It's it's strand misspelled. It's st r n r n a D st r d So it's strand. But they got the n and that kind of or not not not Austrian maybe fifth round draft pick last year. So Bradley experienced basically all right, Bradley chubb uh first round pick in twenty eighteen, fifth overall pick, is only played in one game?

Is he? Is he hurt? I would assume. So, so when they went into the season, they're thinking, we got Chub on one side, we got Miller on the other side, and where Chubb is listed on injured reserve, there you go drop out in their secondary. There's a very familiar name. Oh Patrick sustain Nuh, the second who as a tram pretty well, yeah, that's right, right, that's right. But what would you rather have the all purpose linebacker or a corner, and we're gonna discuss that when we come back on

showed me on Twitter shot. I guess the Rangers tweeted it out, a picture of Ron Washington basically congratulating him. And that's the way baseball famous famous quote. Yeah, of course for manager. For those who don't live in Dallas, Sport Worth or in Texas, Um, you need to look up his interview Washes, Yes, okay, just type it in, it'll come up. It was the goofiest thing I think I've ever heard in my life. Um and New Orleans. Yeah, no, he seems like he's in East Texas. No, he's Louisiana.

Oh yeah, okay, oh yeah, I have to look at that accent. He uh evidently did the interview with a beer in one hand and a cigaretted the other he's so old school man, and they asked him something about I guess it's something saying he had about what's the secret to baseball or something, and it was something about elbows and asses. And all I heard was somebody talking about right. And he ended up doing a dance form

or something. He was feeling no pain. This is after John Washington told the entire team months ago they would turn it around, jump into first and win it all. Everyone will be looking at our acid elbows. Well that sounds that means you're dancing or whatever. That means. That means they'll be in front. They'll be in front. Yeah, they'll be in front. Yeah. If you ever when you ran the four hundred meters, yes, were you? Were you? And I saw everybody's when he attempted to man but

the only man to two hundred. That's what you mean? Yes, I just thinking that view that you had when you ran the four hundreds. They made me, they made me in junior high run the eight hundred. And what were you seeing in front of you? I beat cinder that's when they had the cinder tracks. Beat one guy fell down. You tripped him. You know when we would run eight hundred in practice, right, and it's a pace thing. Yes. I got out there and these guys are running. There

are no pace juncts even in practice. That's the track practices the worst ever. I got no ship. I was just hoping they didn't lap me. If you can make it through a track season, then you are man. Got all these tall, skinny guys in here. Little shortened me. Too many whistles and too much, too much. Okay, So you asked this question before we went to break. Yes, Are you're feeling good about the Cowboys first round draft pick or what they could have had if Patrick Curtan

had fallen to them. Well, supposed lay Curtan was going to be the pick. All I know is he is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for eleven tackles and four of those for losses and two I think it was two quarterback pressures. He was all over the place,

you know what. You know what. The good thing about it was he came out of the Bye mad because he didn't make any critical plays, any splashed plays against New England, even though he wasn't very happy with his even though he had like nine tackles or seven tackles something like that, and he wasn't happy with his people were though, and so he said he rededicated himself, took care of his body during the bye week, and then started coming in at five thirty in the morning so

he could watch more tape before they got to you gotta you gotta you gotta know. Belichick probably designed some really complicated trying to take advantage, which probably allowed him to make those tackles, but not where he wanted to write. He probably a lot of trackdowns and tackles down the field, right, yeah, and this one and you know and see that. I don't know if the Vikings watched tape on him, but

getting him to get well, I don't know. Maybe they didn't, not the way he played, because the way teams had taken advantage of him at times was sending their running back out in the pattern down the field and he had to drop. They were sending their running back out into the flat and he all they had to do was go sideways. That you want to look at these guys. Yes, wow, well he's not the offensive word. His son is. But here's his son is. No, he's not, well, he's listed.

Here's the thing here's the thing. Everyone along with Patterson, Yeah, everyone tries that against him. The Giants tried it when Barkley messed up his foot. They lined them up out. Why that seems to be something that people are gonna try. They're gonna continue to try that to try to catch him in space. It hadn't work yet though, Why Yeah, I don't know. I mean, especially the sideways stuff. He's gonna get those in the gaps so quickly they don't

even have a chance to use their angler. Hea. He's one of those guys you want going forward, yes, And he's one of those guys who wants to get to the football. Yeah. I mean he's he's racing his teammates to get to the tackle. Well, that stuff in preseason and and they're they're like, okay, let's race, right, everybody's there with Okay, we're gonna race. Let's see whose second,

who's third. That stuff in preseason was no joke. He said he wanted to make all the tackles, you know, and Vanderesha was kind of sticking it in the room. And don't think Vandues is thinking, well, now, he probably beat vander about two or three tackles and there you go. All it does is get snap counts. Yeah, I do. All it does it It just raises, It raises the bars bags, it just raises. Yeah, he had ninety seven snaps.

I mean ninety seven percent did in this pass game. Um, let's see if I remember correctly, Michael Parsons sixty four snaps out of nine seven sixty six. Curse had sixty six, sixty four out of seventy three out of seventy three. Wilson, how's Wilson doing? Donovan, Yeah, he had thirty one snaps forty seven. Probab about Laton Vanderhe well, because they were bringing him out on Nickel and Neil would go in and I think Neil had just think that it used

to be our most athletic linebacker. Actually, Nickel thinking back to that game and Parsons is sitting there, I want to be out there and Layton's sitting next to him, and then you'll learn it, you know, he is like the last month, Parsons is getting twice the snaps Neil. Neil only had twenty three snaps, and that's because they were using a lot of two running backs. He's he's he's had snaps the last couple of weeks, he's the nickel back. Yeah yeah, right. And then our man jay

Ron Curse. By the way, what do they listen to him as um ball but football player? Where's he had? Oh? There it is? He had this is who two three weeks in a row, Kurt Curse one wow, and which we didn't know and I think somebody pointed it out. He had the green data in his helmet. He was he was relaying the plays in if you listen to Christie's scales on the Cowboys Radio network, you would learn this during the game. That's how good Christie's scale. Christie.

But and then somebody said, wow, well is he better at making the calls? I go, you can make the calls. All you gotta do is hear them and repeat them. But he's in the he's out there every play, so you don't have to worry about the second helmet. So what happens when it gets hurt? If well, then you put it in another But you have simple curses helmet. You can do it. I was gonna say, I do it. That has to pass his helmet on the side. And by the way, y'all having a difference helmet and they

goes down. Here go Bill right, Oh hell now, didn't get it for helmet. And they don't have multiple helmets anymore, by the way, so when you see it's salute to service on Sunday. So they're gonna have the red, white and blue stripes. I like the helmet. I like them. It's the same helmet. They can stripe them different. Just more work, more work for I'm gonna try to Segway as smooth as Bill. We talk about helmets. We had the safety for the Vikings trying to Rrison Smithson Smith

trying to rip Ceedee Lambs helmet all. I thought it was the one that was choking him. Yeah, yeah, but the Cowboys are having the league look into that. Yeah, well they're better. Yeah. That was just exactly what I thought as it harried up. As it happened, I said, he's choking him, that he needs to be fine. By the way, Black Fort number one and the officials sitting right there. You go back and look at it. The officials talking to Harrison Smith right after it. He saw it.

He was talking to him, you know, at him, saying don't do that. Well, roll your flag right, hands to the neck, nor hands to the faith. Unnecessary roughness, right, No, just ignorance. That's just that. That was a that was a that was an assault. See he's talking. Abre's a you can Mike on the Sideline CD. He's talking about it after the series. Okay, dad, Dad, he was trying to choke me. Yeah, we thought it, but somehow they didn't see that or half the holds trying to stop

Randy Gregory from getting to the quarterback. That's another one, by the way, Okay, we can discuss that white on a Thursday edition of Mix Shots. We will see you tomorrow at one thirty. Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
