Speaker 1

The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is nick Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, and Nicky Spagnola. I'm ready for the Headway Cowboys. Yeah, makes can get all look about. The words are very peculiar. Book you go, but you go, it grows on it. I don't forget that those singles. Don't forget those senior teams,

that single teams. Your singer proa nothing like those seniors. Don't you like to be the orchestra conductors? Way? Oh yeah, I could see him now, I can see it. It's like the old Larnce Welshore. That's right, right, bubbles, where are the bubbles? One and two? Three? It's time for talking No, not talking cowboys. It is vix Shots, the original Talking Cowboys here inside the SWBC podcast studio. Way too old for our listeners. Uh, and we are starting

fast and furiously finishing on a fabulous football Friday. I just want to let you know that when I meet people out fans, they appreciate us being able to go old school with them. That's good with them. That's good right with them with them. Every fan is not thirty years old. Okay, we're just hoping there's a few or sixty and over a few to keep us a flow. And football team was on the field. They just walked off the field on a Friday where they do mock

game situations. Mock games sound better than a walk through. Just walk through, Yeah, just called the walk through. They ran off the field. They couldn't wait to Friday night. It's Friday. Don't say. Back in the day, that was not a good thing. Okay, you never know who might show up on sund Saturday morning late. Maybe that's maybe that's the real reason why they do more on Saturday than on Friday, exactly. You know absolutely, it's like and

you don't we talked about it. You don't take that break where Saturday you do nothing right and then Sundays like, oh I gotta remember everything right. It's been muscle memory as well. Yeah, so memory as well. You want to make sure that those muscles are ready to go. You don't want to give two days off, right, you know, no, But the main reason it's a more of a self

imposed curfew on Friday night. Well, I mean think about it, because you know when they would have the last practice on Friday, they would finish at one thirty two in the afternoon, and it was like school got over. They're after the Cowboys Cafe. That's my spot. I was expecting you, guys. I was there. I was there waiting on you. There was my Friday beer after the week was done. Right, all right, So here we are and questions to be answered,

getting set for the Lions on Sunday at noon. And what's top of mine for you, Mickey, Dak Prescott, it's ready to go, ready to go, Yes, if you want to go ahead and go with it, if you want to go with it, as Mike McCarthy said, go for it if you if you want to get ahead of the particulars that they In his mind, the best was yesterday when they asked Dak, can you show us your thumb It was for TV purposes, right, So he gave him the thumbs up, just like this, right, and it's like,

was there a scar there? No, I don't see anything, So yeah, he said, yes, I am. When they asked him, it sounded like like he was Jesus or something I am. I am okay, all right, thank you sir. It'll be overly dramatic, but yeah, good secret. But he did qualify it with as much as I know that Hamiltons Park First Baptist Church has paid off. By the way, By the way, if you're aheaded to Hamilton Park Baptist Church on Sunday morning, you got to hope that the preacher

gets done to get you home by noon. Man, it's a noon kickoff. It's old school you're talking about. We would just resign ourselves back in the day, like okay, we'll be home at halftime if the preacher gets too happy, like oh man, third quarter? Who Now you can watch online. Yeah, they might even have Saturday services. So the imagine if we had cell phones back, we'll be watching I'd be watching my direct TV. So you can do it. You can watch at the stadium as you watch the Cowboys

play at noon. All right? Um, so yes, other than dak Yeah, all right, bring us up to speed as we start fast here, so ceedee lamb. Good to go. He's listed as full uh he said yesterday. No problems with the hip, so uh, he's good to go. A matter of fact, other than Um, well, let's go listed as limited, which might as well been out. Everybody on the Cowboys injury port is listed as full participation on Thursday, which is their main heavy workload padded practice. Uh. Looks like, well,

let's go is gonna need surgery? Um? He Uh the shoulder Uh sublexed again and this is like the third time once in college. Yeah, it goes out and comes back in. So um. And then he did it in training camp and that's what caused him to miss basically the rest of the training camp. And they he was hoping that if they put a harness on it, he could get through the rest of the season. Uh. And then it happened again. Um, I guess in practice this week or whenever. And so they've decided that, look, you

got to have this done. So they're not announcing it yet. They haven't set up the surgery schedule yet. But that looks like what's when you have that that dislocated shoulder, Like like you're what's what's the Mail Gibson movie where you kept popping at the end of out of you know, you have guys that have those issues, right, I mean it goes in and out. Now they're just going and out. It's extremely painful to go in and out or to

go back in. If I'm not well, that's this I'm getting to If I'm not mistaken, I'm getting so old. I can't remember. This was Grambling or cowboys early days. Uh, guy was laying on on his back because it went out and they tied up. They taped a weight no to and then he laid down and they laid the drop. Yeah that's what he did. Yes, that was I mean, it was really that bad, because I think they kept trying to do it, you know, with help, like yeah, I try to put you, but then they just kind

of like that boy he screamed. Let's hope that was Grambling that Cowboys. Oh no, I can't remember now, but I just remember, like, wow, man, what are we like? That sounds like Doctor Knights and the Philippines or something Doctor Knight right where the guys were scared to have him do anything to their knees. Right, after all, he couldn't practice in this area. They had to drive to Munster because he didn't have any in the Texas area in the Dallas area. So yeah, it could have been

the Cowboys, It could have been the Cowboys. Doctor Marvin Knight put Munster on the map. Yes, that's a real things. Yeah, no, no, doctor Knight, y, I just heard the story. No, he's a real person. Yeah I know, but I didn't know. Yeah. No, one wanted him to do That's correct. I don't know about the medical community did not want him to do it. And that's why he didn't have any qualifications here in

this area. So it wasn't just guys didn't want to go, nor the medical community said no, no, I can't do it. He can't do it, doctor Knife and uh. Looking at um Detroit's injury update, DeAndre Swift is still listed as limited. The main thing is his shoulder and he said, I'm making progress. That's take. Take that for what it's worth. Largest largest tour group ever to come through the Stars. Just a bunch of people enjoy Lawrence Well cowboy jerseys

on the show on outside. It's one of the great things about Friday, and tours are available for you and you come in for the game on all right, game and you can see us working. That sounds like when you show up for the stadium, right, Welcome to stadium, howdy folks, Welcome to the Great statement of Cowboys. I missed my calling there, That's right. You could have been big, I could have Um. Would you like some breaking news from Arlington? Yes, the Texas Rangers have hired a new manager,

Bruce Bocci. I had a feeling I have been named before. He's won three World Series titles in his past. So San Diego was that last well and the Giants? Yeah, let me leading through the bio here on Ester Boccie. He's been both places. Okay, that's too wordy, John Blake, you got to figure out how right, twenty five years with San Diego and San Francisco. Yeah, that's what I remember, all right, Um, And he was the one they had an unofficial visit with or something, maybe appreciating the new

GM who's been there a year or so. Flight for him, But there's the connection. Yeah, yeah, So it was when they made the move in August, Bruce Bocci was at the top of the list. And it comes to fruition. Speaking of San Francisco, would you think of the trade that was made last night as Christian McCaffrey is now as San Francisco going from the Carolina Panthers, Well, what's Carolina doing they're getting ready, everybody giving up. They've caught

him in the day. They're just this isn't like baseball where you sell off in August because you're not going to go to the playoffs. This is football. McCaffrey. I mean, he's still good, didn't he He's been a little injury prone, and he's They did him a favorite. Yeah, doubt well, they did uh San Francisco a favor because when they restructured his contract, the base salary for this year, it was which they're you know, on the books for was only a million dollars and and and then the rest

of it is not guaranteed. He's got three more years on it. So even if this doesn't work out, they could just say, okay, bye, you know, we're not covering. I think he had, like I think I read he had like thirty six more million left on the deal, something to that effect. So I mean, that's like given the guy away, And did we did it ever? Come out what they got for him? Here, let's see you'm finding the specifics, all right. Here's a list of what they've picked up in the two trades for McCaffrey and

Robbie Andrewson, who went to Arizona. They now have an extra second, third, and fourth round pick in the twenty twenty three the upcoming draft, extra fifth and sixth round picks in twenty four in an extra seventh in twenty twenty five. So essentially, second, third, and fourth round picks in twenty twenty three are the McCaffrey fifth, so so four picks that they gave up. Here we go second, third and fourth round picks in twenty twenty three and

a fifth round pick in twenty four, so sore. That's why they're doing it is they obviously need to rebuild the team, and that's one of the guys that they could move. That's their herschel Walker trade. You could basically put the talent of all those picks together and it won't match up to him. I mean, you've got a good player. What are you gonna build with bad players? I don't I don't get it. Okay, let's put it

in Cowboys terms. Let's let's because the forty nine ers basically would be picking in the twenties wherever they right, you know they're gonna you know, Cowboys were twenty fourth last Year's let's just it's the equivalent of then this last draft for the Cowboys sending Sam Williams, Jalen Tolbert, and Jake Ferguson to the Panthers in exchange for Christian McCaffrey. That's that's what the forty nine ers did, plus fifth

plus a fifth round pick to say a Duran Bland. Okay, so there are four players that you can with those values, Sam Williams. Is it worth it to send Sam Williams, Jalen Tolbert, Jake Ferguson, and Duran Bland to Carolina for

Christian McCaffrey. Probably, So you put Sam Williams in there. Yeah, yeah, so that's what you're listen, don't get a first and if you're Carolina especially you're But now you're assuming they can draft that, well, well yeah, they don't say they don't worry going to deals think oh well if we don't draft, well then it's all off. And they don't know who the head coaches. No, they don't know the GM because they already they already did Matt Rule a favor and got rid of him, right, so he can

make his money here. And the jam is he still theres making these decisions? I guess Yeah, So there you go. Okay, Caroline has seven picks in the first five rounds of next year's draft. So in the first five rounds, first five rounds, how many top one hundred picks do they have? First, second, and third? Four? They got one first, two seconds and a third they don't. They don't have their own third. Then they have yeah, Niners, third, Yes, have Niners. Yeah,

they don't have their own in the Niners. I can't worry. That's that's the big thing is the top one hundred picks in my opinion, can't worry about their problems. Although I'm gonna pose this question for you. Who you trading? No? Oh, all right, you're gonna play like bargain. What are the Niners done? Here? We're gonna think about it during the break and come back. Okay, the Niners have just acquired a guy that they think is going to put them over the top when they look at the landscape of

their division. What's happening with the Rams this year? What the Rams did last year? I pick it up von Miller and to put them over the top. So the Niners think that they're doing it by picking up McCaffrey.

Here is there a position for the Cowboys that if they were to make a move, and I'm not talking about compensation, if you could add a player to a position group on the Cowboys here in the next couple of weeks leading up to the trade deadline, that could give them a decided advantage going forward, especially coming off the Eagles game last week. What position would that be when we come back here on mix shots. The Medal of Honor is our country's highest military award for valor

in combat. More than forty million individuals have served in the armed forces since the Civil War. Fewer than four thousand have received the Medal of Honor. The National Medal of Honor Museum will be a place to preserve these legacies and inspire America. It's being built right next door to the Dallas Cowboys in Texas. Help us honor our country's greatest heroes. Learn more and get involved at moh museum dot org. 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 State. You hear that I'm a torrential downpour? Torrential What does

that even mean? It means you can't see out of your winds are and if you have the wrong car assurance, 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 turns can availability in most states. Prices vary based on how you buying All State Burn Coush the

What do you call a group of grown men and women with their faces painted silver and blue who get together every week to share a three hour long ritual of jumping, sinking, and toasting Miller Lite and Tim Gallant hats while yelling how about them cowboys? You call it Miller Time in Dallas. Here's to the cowboys, Here's to the original light beer. It's Miller Time. Celebrate Responsibly twenty twenty one. Miller Brewing

Company for Orts Texas. Back back to Mick shots. KPE Post Roofing and Waterproofing, proud partner of the Dallas Cowboys. From corporate homes to your home. Have your roof checked by choice, not by chance. Call now two one four two two five four eight six O KPE Post Company dot Com. All right, before we get to our question that I just posed, Um, ever since did you see the game last night? I did not? Oh, okay, what

did that miss? Saints? Here's what you miss? Here? Tell me what the game's going very well for the Saints. And then Andy Dalton gets intercepted back to back possessions. Yeah, possession for pick sixes, twenty five point second quarter for Arizona. I blinked and it was fourteen to six. Next thing I know, it was twenty eight fourteen. Oh my lord, yep, and he had already been intercepted in the end zone when they were at the like ten yard line. He

didn't do that here, I don't recall him. Well, one of the passes was should have been a completion that bounced off his guy's hands. Um, the one in the end zone. Saw some bad passes. That was a bad decision. Yeah, bad, bad was just yeah, yeah that the highlights was showing how bad it was. And then the greatest gift of all time happened. Did you see that, Bill, I wouldn't pay attention the gift. No, I'm gonna send it to you. Okay, the gift. Yeah, I thought you meant like a Christmas

gid gift. Yeah, yes, I'm in this century. I'm in this century christ Yes, yes, oh you mean the little argument on the sideline. No, no, no no, no, not that one. So hey, Everson, just look up Andy dalton gift this morning and you'll probably it's probably the number one trending right now. Okay, well is it? Is it? The the angle? Yes, yes, I've seen it right where he's walking out the fields and then the guy's diving into the zone in the

background that he was Marco Wilson. It was why behind his head, you could just it was all Dalton's failures right there behind it, all behind awesome. Yeah, I saw that, all right. And so making mentioned the argument on the sideline Kyler going at Kingsbury. I saw it. It was like, what what are they doing? Uh? And he's I mean he's yelling at Yeah. I love seeing that helmet off. You can see the lips and everything could read them. He just said, please calm down. Yeah, and I like

I like Kingsbury's response, I'm emotional. I showed my emotions. That's what it is. Retort was afterwards, I guess I like that out of Kyler Murray. Yeah. You know, he's always been he's he's more of a stut guy, you know. And although you can tell when he hates losing, hates hates hates losing, hadn't done much of it in his life until now, and um, and I think that's I thought I'd love seeing that out of him in that situation.

His game is so frantic, you know, so when you when there, I mean it is you see him out there, it's like everything is a sense of urgency. But then when he always comes to the sideline, he's so genteel, you know, and just in control, you would think. But when you start losing once again, we always start losing and winning, you know, so certain things show up. And so my question was just going to be there, Everson, if you ever had a moment in your career or

you wanted to go off on a coach like I did. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, I was still a rookie. Uh god. We were still in h in training camp and Drew Pearson was killing me, I mean killing me. We had to play a certain position where we had to stay inside. Man, that Drew is something else I never could. I mean I was right there several times and I just couldn't make the play. I mean I was right there so frustrating. And so here comes Jene Stallers and he wants to make an

example of you know this. You know how coaches are, and I knew what it was all about. They want to come up and light a fire up on you because this is the moment to see if you're gonna make a break. And he goes, son, I just don't think you good enough to play this game. Boy. Oh my goodness. The next words out of my mouth, man, wow, you just don't. And to Jeane's credit, he came right back at me. So no, it was a moment. Oh yeah,

we were. I mean there was something he expected. I think if I didn't come back at him, he would come back to the frenchase he would been disappointed. So that was a moment to where he kind of, you know, got on my nerves on purpose. And just he wanted to check me a little bit to see what I had in me, And boy, yeah, I had it in me.

And and I don't even want to mention Jimmy Jimmy Johnson's because that's a whole nother deal to that lasts a whole lot longer because that the quarter Ariazon, the stadium, it's long, long, long to the locker room, yes, way long, way long. And we we only got separated by Eugene Lockhart and Farrell the running back. We're hugging each other walking down their quarter, and we separated it and got right back in each other's faces as soon as we

passed them. So yeah, it's you didn't have DeAndre Hopkins to come up and put your arm around making you understand that I was baiting ever since Arizona. Didn't know about detour to James Dollings and all this time I was trying to get the Sundevil Stadium. I didn't want to get the sun. That was the beginning of the end of a great relationship. Not I'm just proud to say I was there, not on that walkthrough, But if you would have done that, you would have run out

of the paper. Yeah, and then he said this exactly. Yeah, that's crazy, all right. If there's one position on this Cowboys team where they could improve, like the Niners think that they are doing by acquiring Christian McCaffrey, what position would that be. I'm gonna go first, because I was gonna say what Chris said Chris Bane Frame was writing on He said wide receiver, and I was gonna be

a little bit more specific. Just go back and get him, Marta Cooper man, just bring it back, just bringing back you never should have gotten with love him. I'm sorry you don't think James Washington will make up that difference. I don't know what James Washington can do, but I know what Amara Cooper has already done, and that's what I would go on. So just let you know I'm still not happy with that. Yeah, that guy's probably not available, and he is still bawling. He is still bawling top

tens all every week. You know, by process of elimination, that's probably it. I can't think of what else that they would just absolutely need, which is a luxury for the Cowboys, right, but you need and it's interesting you bring up James Washington. Okay, So here's a guy that within the next month, let's say, is going to be back. I will predict he'll be back by time they get

back from the buy Green Bay. Yeah, you know. Kavante Turpin is another one as a gadget guy, a guy who will see how he develops as you go along. Here time to put the ball in his hands. Well, they tried to do it in Philly, but you know, it was kind of predictable. You know, we're always have fallen back by a couple of schools when they did, and they tried to judge, Yeah, just now, or they need to try it again. Well you need to do it in a more opportune time. Yeah, you know that.

At that time, you knew we were desperate and they were waiting on something. When he came in the game, I'm sure like, okay, here he is, guys, something's coming. I'm sure they saw that. But other than that, I don't even think he played had many offensive plays. It was kind of predictable. No, it was kind of predictable. It was very predictable. You knew he was. They were

coming to him when he came in the game. Back back in Berglan, that was all I had was a into around and when I came in the game, because I wasn't starting to receiving. When I came in the game, they knew what I was gonna run. Hey, he's in the guys he comes, they're waiting on me over there. You know. It's like when Dion played offense. Okay, he was a little bit better. He's a little bit better. He had two plays who didn't ye. Yeah, on offense. So at least you can dictate getting the ball in

his hands. When you're a returner, you know, there's too many other variables that are involved with getting the ball in your hands. Um yeah, you know, maybe throw them a smoke screen or something. It's just got to be the timing has to be. Is you don't want to be predictable, Just go go down the field, see what happens. You know, it's third and long, better than a punt. Can you do some of that with Tony Poller? I

don't know if he. I don't know if he. Who we're getting at is that straight away speed, just the ability he's good to do this, and the ability to judge the ball and then judge the ball that far down bath far downfield. I mean it sounds elementary, but it's a little something to it. You know why I received was a good at it. They make it look easy. He's don't see many running backs doing that as they learn to run on their toes. Right there you go.

But especially coming off the game against the Eagles and what we saw what the Eagles cornerbacks were doing, you know, and just trying to come up with a difference maker that can you know, for the second half of the season, they can put this offense over the top, but play calls can be a difference maker well. And then the only problem is is twenty or thirty yards down the field? Can you see some? But he my size, it's five six guys fifty seven, I mean he's fifty seven. Yes, yes,

he better be there. Hey, throw it to me. Who do you think, Bill? What do you think? No? I agree with you and with producer Supreme, That's exactly what I was thinking. That that's what that's what's needed for this offense. Some something that will um and I'm not I don't know what's out there, you know, Yeah, And I mean you could as fans, you could go scour the rosters of the Carolina Panthers, other teams that have one win or whatever, you know, and see who might

be available there. Um, you know in free agency, Odell Beckham is still out there. I don't see a wide receiver though out there that could make a difference on this team, right, you know, we still have good players. I'm kind of mad at u at uh CD a little bit. You know, he's got to really pick up his intensity doing the ball game. But I mean we still have a good group. You know, the race Ravens just signed to Sean Jackson. I know, despiration, Yeah, that's desperate.

He said he retired. Yeah, well when you're still going off to a tire guys, Yeah, you're a little right, and thirty five years old. Now, I've DeShane if it was five years ago, that would be one. A type like that, I type like would be one. You know. His his attitude is just a little bit, right, that's the that's the other thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it got a very complete team here. Yeah, we really do. Adding a quarterback this week, you've added what tells you.

That tells you too that you've liked what's going on aside from Michael Parsons as far as a pass rusher, goes because obviously the big move the Rams made last year with Von Miller and you know, and that's not the Buffalo made top year. Right, So although they paid dearly for it, you know, you're basically literally talking about trying to find a rental player for a year or for how many games they're left ten. And the Rams may be paying dearly for winning that Super Bowl last year.

What they have given what they gave up for Miller. I mean, they had nothing in the draft basically, and now they've got all these injuries and see where they are now as far as the depth on their roster, Yeah, they can't add. Yeah, and with the money that they are spending on several players, which is how do the Rams do it? Yah, here's how they do it. Now they're paying the price, right And I thought Van Miller was crazy for leaving doing the offseason. He knew exactly

what he was doing, and he got more money. Somebody gave him some good advice. All right, our picks to click and who wins on Sunday at noon between the Cowboys and the Lions 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 State. 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 terms, conditions, and availability. In most states, prices vary based on how you buying. All State Garden CATCHT the insurance company in affiliates Northbrook, Illinois.

you was Amazon Prime, that's the problem. You gotta have multiple TVs. You need to do one of those decks when you build your I have wanted to do that. I want I want like four yeah, four scuens. No, I'm all over that. Yeah. There's the problem is my boss is not all over that. Well, your boss, you have you know what we did? You know what? You know what she approved? She approved me putting the TV out on the patio and so and so I have to go out and sit on the patio. That's why

she approved it. That's your place, that's right, that's right. I'm on the patio. And so the NFL playoffs roll around and it's twenty degrees outside and I'm on the patio watching an NFL playoff game while she's watching whatever she's watching it. I just go upstairs, but I used to go outside. My good friend he built his house just recently, and he made it so in the their great room there's a big bookshelf for entertainment shelf, and he made room for two TVs and one's his and

one's hers. Now they can't be next to each other. Oh yeah, because he'll listen to his on his headset. Oh man, that's too much. That's too much. It's too I can't go to another room because there are four people in my house. All the rooms are take it, got all right? Upstairs? All right? All right, boys, lions, Yes, pick pick to click, pick to click. All right. I'm

always first, So I'm gonna go on this one. I think the lines are gonna be I think they're gonna play a very aggressive game, and I think we'll play a pretty conservative game. I don't look for us to still go over thirty points in the game itself. I think Dak is gonna I mean, worst case scenario, he'll come out and be pretty methodical and keep He needs a couple of possessions to kind of move in there exactly,

and I'm hoping those possessions don't take too long. But I look for us to score about twenty eight points. I think our defense is going to be strong. Their offense is still very good. They're gonna eke out seventeen points on us. So I see us winning twenty eight seventeen is. I think it's gonna be very methodical game for us. We're all gonna pick the same pick. Click. I can feel no, no, no, this is a game where your more solid receiver is going to have a

good game. Brown is going to have two touchdowns. Rights, but I see two touchdowns, Okay, Noah Brown. It is I am worried and maybe they can dispel my worries with this game about them running the football on the Dallas Cowboys. And the last one of the things that Parsons said yesterday is that that last drive, or not their last drive, the drive a still stings. The last sentence in my column for today is going to be

remember the sting because they're gonna try to run. And I was listening to Dan Campbell one of his press conferences, and he said, we have to stay out of third and sevens. He goes, we cannot let them rush our quarterback the way they rushed the he said, they're Almo, it's impossible to stop because they've got so many people, and so that means we've got to run the football. Well that's what they do, they run the football. Now the Cowboys have got to answer the bell that they

can stop the run. Is back to back. They got half the half the teams, half the or four of the six teams they've played. I rushed for at least eighty nine yards the other other three others or one hundred and more one hundred and forty two. Uh. They got to show that they can shut down the run and it's coming, and especially if DeAndre Swift is healthy

and can play. Although we were worried about the run up Jamal, about the run up the middle, but we've been getting on the outside, the outside right, and they've been getting getting They don't set the edge because they're such in a hurry to run. Now, was it? Uh, you know, an odd thing because of who they played with our our RPOs with Jalen Hurts. We'll find out

because this is more of a standard running game, right. Um. And you mentioned yesterday one of the stats they had to go back to nineteen ninety one when when when Barry Sanders was running the football for him, that they've reached that height in their running game. So I got twenty six nineteen for the Cowboys, I do think us. I think that's gonna be a lot of field four field goals, a lot of field goal boys. Yeah, a lot of field goals for them too. Could be four

field goals for both teams. Yes, eight field goals. That would be a departure for Dan Campbell. Yeah, I tell you that because they've scored. No, because he goes for it on fourth down all right, time right. And in fact, I went back and looked at their game against the Patriots. They lost that game twenty nine to nothing. And if you go through that entire game, if they now they had a red zone interception, they had another fumble that

was returned fifty nine yards for a touchdown. But if you go through that game and if Dan, if they would have taken care of the football and kicked a field goal went instead of going forward on fourth down on every one of their possessions when they're in field goal range, that game would have been twenty two. No, it would have been nineteen to fifteen with two minutes to go, in the game and the Lions have the football.

I mean, you go through the play by play, if they just do that, and I don't want to give Dan Campbell any advice on how to touch this game. But if he and you and you know he's listening, of course, because he said all of Detroit Glenn Rose, Texas listens to mix shots out and uh. You go

back to their Minnesota game. They had a twenty four to fourteen lead on Minnesota in the fourth quarter and then they went forward on fourth down, they turned it over on downs and they fumbled again, and the Vikings came back and won the game twenty eight twenty four. If they just let the game come to them, like what Tom Coughlin used to do with the Giants against

the Cowboys. U JO. Anyway, to support your point about New England, they had seventeen first downs, They had three hundred and twelve total yards and two hundred and eleven passing, and they did rush for one hundred yards, but they didn't score any points. They tried. Yeah, man, Prior to that first four games of the year, they averaged thirty five points a game. Spags, give me a click, man, what's up? I'm ding the step. Oh um, I got the score, twenty six nineteen. It's gonna happen. This is

the game that it's gonna happen. Turpin Ah, there you go, turpentime. Okay, and I'm going with you know, um, Gangelo Swift for or DeAndre Swift for the Lions. We can't get Swift or he averages eight point six yards of kerry. Yes, Tony Pollard's gonna average a point six yards to carry this game. Tony Pollard, if you look at you go back the Giants game he had over one hundred yards rushing Washington. He was only eight carries six yards against

the Rams. He was eight carries eighty something yards. Last week he was eleven for forty four. So he's back up this week. He's gonna go to the house sill, these house and one hundred yard rushing day against rush. How do they rank U defensively against the rush? I don't know about the rush, but they're thirty horrible. Yeah. Yeah, they made me thirty second against the rush. So wait, give me a school. Yeah, and I'm going to go twenty four sixty yea. I thought you'd go low twenty

four sixteen second in both categories. I can go higher if you'd like. Nah, I think that's good. I want, you know, my ego wants to act, to get out there and just be like, oh, it's just like old times. Nope, it's not gonna be that. Okay, I do not think. I think they're gonna, you know, like most teams this year, they're gonna struggle throughout the first half, and you know, hopefully the defense will assert their dominance and and uh

put the offense in good position to score. And don't forget our our given a location for our appearance tomorrow's changed, you remember, No talk to the fans need to know this, Yes they do. Yes, the fans were usually what I have here. We're usually at the Omni. I see Renaissance. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, like I see West, Yes, okay, perfect, just didn't want them my man hanging out.
