Mick Shots: Keeping it Loose

for some Cowboy football once again. We didn't get the Cowboys Stampede to start the week, but by golly, we're gonna close the week with the Cowboys Stampede with the idea We're gonna start next week with it because the Cowboys take on the Falcons on Sunday at noon, and it looks like college football Friday. Here, you got your MISSOI on, You got you grambling on? And I didn't get the memo that was kind of sucked this year. Yeap, oh something's wrong with money? You got it all right?

I'm good, yeah, okay, I'm getting like a reverb here. Oh okay, I'm good here, Yeah, we're good. We're good. Here, we'll carry on and you get Biggs worked out over there here inside the SWBC podcast starsco and um Yes, Cowboys and Falcons. We are now less than forty eight hours away from kickoff, and it's time to get the bad taste of last week out of the out of the mouth of the Cowboys players and Dak Prescott talked about that one he talked to the media yesterday and

that happened several days ago. Now that that's bad taste? Is there? Were you there? No no finished show. We are with you guys. They were this person when we saw them outside, they were waiting. Who were they waiting on? Someone who didn't show up? It didn't show up. Once again, that's always a bad that's a bad sign, always a bad sign. A talk, right, I gotta so whoever they were waiting on it, they didn't show up. Um yeah, you can take headsets off if that's Bob. I think

I'm going too. Yes, by the way, feel free and can I before you go, can we get the words to that song? Maybe get the words out. I can print them out for you, because I looked it up to make sure what we were playing. I had the right name for it. Okay, And there were several that tried to come up as the Dallas Cowboys fight sign. They were other than the stampede. You gotta put the Cowboys stampede. Yeah. Absolutely. So when you says what did they have? What were they? Oh? I don't remember. Altered

their own rendition. Yeah, somebody wrote it themselves. You know, so different the way. You know, just because our teams are struggling doesn't mean we give up on them. Cowboys fans, just because the Cowboys lose one, you don't give up on them, right, And you know, so funny people talk about the US how viral and unnecessarily hopeful our fans are. You know who's the New York Knicks. Oh? Yeah, they're fans. You are amazingly dedicate. I mean that you win one game,

this win the title. They are even more optimistic than we are. Yeah. So uh. To pick up on Bill's enthusiasm for the show today, Mike McCarthy was trying to make sure, as he said in his press conference today, that they didn't change their personality or culture just because of a loss, that that the enthusiasm for this and energy this team has has to maintain and you can't sit here after one loss and get tight right. And so he evidently when he was at Green Bay he

developed this little deal. It's the segment is called Brotherhood, and Friday he did it. This morning he brings in some sort of and I don't know. He said it was a bingo machine. So I don't know if it was one that you spin with all the numbers in it, or it had the little balls that pop up or around. But he said, every once in a while, I feel the need to do this, and he calls it Brotherhood.

And so they put everybody's name and number on one of the balls and they spin it and whose ever name or number comes up, you have the privilege to come and talk to the team in front of the room. And so he said, they had four guys come up. The privilege he called not the show. Would you be one to be one of the guys that came up they've had Yes, that would be great, Yeah, Everson, yea.

Even though you guys suck. I mean, I think I think what the message, you know, how they keep talking about being neutral, and I think the messages, you know, not fire and brimstone, but to say, hey, let's go, let's get back to doing what we do. Uh, and not panicked just because you lost a game. So pull back the curtain and tell us who talked to the end of the the day. Oh yeah, he didn't know. Well, you know what I tell you the you know, I wouldn't be where I am today, which is I don't

know what that is. But as far as really just being comfortable around people and things that nature, if I wasn't challenged to do so by someone, they showed me not just the advantage of it, but the knee And so you know, you you learned from someone. You pass that on. So, yeah, you have to be pushed sometimes not maybe great and sometimes just normalcy. Yeah, you know, and so if that that normalcy might be someone else's greatness.

And then the other thing that he definitely has dispelled this week, And if he didn't do it u in front of us in the in the press conferences up there, he certainly did it at six thirty this morning on his radio segment when he was asked if this was a good loss. Oh, no, coach wants to do such thing as a good No. One wants to hear that. So you say, would rather have a bad win than a good loss, he goes, a bad win, I can teach just as well. Right ever, said that I can

teach us as well. From yea, no such thing as a good whoever's asking that question, they haven't. They haven't run a team, coached a team, or been I think they just wanted to see him change colors. That's what they just said. Well maybe that's yeah, he was. He was being baited. He said, I think you can win and not play as good. Uh, he said, but you get the same thing out of it. Um, he goes, And then he went into what we've been talking about.

He says, it's a long NFL season. You're gonna go through trials and tribulations, You're gonna have injuries, you're gonna have bad breaks, but you gotta keep pushing forward. And the object is always, no matter all that stuff, is to win, he goes, because at the end of the year, they count up the wins. Uh. So I thought he was yeah and that there with that stuff about good losses, but less like uh with herm Edwards. You know, I

not never do I agree with him that much. But when he says you play to win the game, you know that that's just what you're taught you don't ever give up, even until the horn sounds. And of course yes we we do throw in the towel, of course, but that is just the last thing you want to do, you know. So that's why everyone wants to stay away

from it, even though the goal is clearly hopeless. But then you look around and say, okay, where does this uh Reggie Miller, whether Reggie Miller would have thought that, you know, it's hopeless, but nine points in six seconds or something like that. I mean, so that's where greatness comes from. When somebody said, no, I'm not doing in the towel, right, And and in regards to his his his uh statement about not changing anything, that's why his

system works. You know, he's consistent. You just make some some adjustments, put the system. You still go, as I said, back to the basics, right, which they teach that every day, the basics. You know, everything they teach us Bay. Of course they prepare for other teams, but the basics is still a part of what they teach every day. They

never get away from that. And it's like, and you know, you have success, and when we talked about it all week, at some point you're gonna lose one, right, you think the Ravens are jumping out of the last night? What is going on with this week? Man? Is it? This would be part of next week? Right? Yeah, this is really the beginning of next week. Don't figure that out. I called it. Though I called it, I was I

don't know who I was talking to. I said, man, watch this because everyone was just like, why are we even playing this game? And they were talking about all these superlatives, and it's so funny to just see how they jump ship in less than twenty four hours. I mean that, Go figure the um gosh, where did I write it down? Oh? Here it is? So they point out that they point out superlatives until they lose. In

the last night. They in the last nine games against Miami was eight and one, and in the last three games they outscored the Dolphins one forty six to sixteen. And they get beat and and and you're facing a backup quarterback who gets hurt and you got to put the starter back in with a fractured middle finger on his throwing hand, and he comes in and leads them, and so go figure, right, this is someone who really everyone is written off as well, not just the way

he had. I mean, that was supposed to be the best team in the AFC, right, they're going to the Super Bowl. Buffalo was no, no, no, they lost to Jack Well really that the Titans now? But yeah that now it's the Titans because they went to the Rams and beat the best team in the NFC. Right now, who's riding the wave NFC is Cardinals. Titans lose to the Saints. Then on Sunday, if they're of if they're the team the flavor of the you don't want to

be the floe. They're playing it at Nashville. So and the Saints after losing to the Falcons, right, you know, so they're to win now, continue to go. You can go from the the Tampa Bay game to last night and you're looking at what seven major upsets? Yeah yeah, yeah that major upsets? That's crazy. So anyway, so yeah, just look at last night, right. This stuff happens in

this league. That's why you got to go back to what Bill Parcel said when he got here and everybody got excited about I don't know one team or the other team he was coaching here, and he said, check with me after Thanksgiving because after Thanksgiving generally, you are who you are, right, let's not change anything. And I think it's because and added another game, so you might have to check give a little later. But that generally Thanksgiving was around a dozen games in, right, depending on

you have four everyone? Now you got six left? Yeah, right, it's a season done endel January ninth, So so wait, check me re amount Christmas Eve? Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's

still three games to go around Christmas. Right. Uh. And to think, you know, and this is a tangent, but it reminded me in two thousand and three that still was maybe his greatest coaching year of his career, when he got a Cowboy team that had gone five and eleven three years in a row, into the playoffs with Quincy Carter at quarterback, Troy Hambrick at running back, and the leading receiver was fullback Richie Anderson. And they went finished ten and six and went to the playoffs. Every

game was a good check. Yeah, every game was a good check. Yeah. That's that's crazy. And then after they finally won the ninth game or the eighth game, I forgot, he gave him the speech, no longer you guys losers, right, And so they finished ten and six to say that is very cool. Yeah, that is really very cool to finally be able to say that, especially with the culture that was being created as losers. Right, absolutely, all right, what do we need to know about? What do we

when that practice report comes out today? I would say when it comes out today, of course it's not changing on the right and press. So today they don't practice, right, so this is an estimation of what's going to happen tomorrow. Basically with Tyran Smith, he said if he doesn't practice tomorrow, he's not playing. And he hasn't practiced all week. So when did he say that today? He said today? Yes, if I don't practice to Tyran doesn't practice on Saturday,

what are you reading? So he's going to be listed as questionable question We don't have that point or doubtful since he hasn't o we don't seem doubtful, very yeah, we don't. You're right, yeah, okay? And then um I was they put Randy Gregory on injured reserve. It was called a multiple week injury so with Thanksgiving in practice it was a one on one pass rush drill and it was on his get off, he just pushed off

and he heard his calf muscle. So when they said it was multiple week injury, I think we deduced from that that, okay, multiples at least two, right, and if he misses two with Thanksgiving four days later from the second game, it's three for sure. So three games on

i R and then you're eligible to come back. So for Randy Gregory, probably the best they could hope for is, you know, the first game in December and if not, then the next game, which you have ten days in between the Saints game and the following the following game, so that one hurts. We can continue talking about that. How they replace him. Let's see who else. Edrick Wilson has not practiced, but he mentions his name twice this uh, this morning, so maybe they're being careful with him. They

can get him back. Michael Gallup's definitely coming off of i R, so he will be available for the game, yes, and then uh the update on perfect time. Quentin Bohanna has been listed with an illness and it's not COVID related. You always got to say that no one can have the flu or some you know something else wrong, right, illness? Yeah, right, So he hasn't practiced so I would imagine it's going to be close for him and Corey Clement. So they've had something go along around in the locker room. Uh,

he was listed with an illness. Uh. And then the rest of the guys have either been moved to full or limited and limited because Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott, they just don't let him have every snap during practice. So from an injury standpoint, you know, and if you have if you're on COVID reserve, you're not listed on the practice you are not, so you're a line yeah. Uh. And and again, uh, you can have an extra call up because of the COVID replacement. So I think that's

what they're do with how situation. Again, I'm sorry, he's still on COVID reserve and we we don't get an update until, I mean, unless he passes things on Saturday, he's out. He could. Yeah, it's because it's I just came back on. Yeah, because we don't get a report on whether because you have to do it within a twenty four hours apart from each other. Yes, okay, And we haven't got a report on So if he passes if Sunday, so otherwise high we're Lulaha whom is the kicker?

And this occurred to me that not only has I think we talked about it yesterday, right, not only has he not attempted an field goal in the NFL or an extra point, which is basically a field goal, he hasn't kicked off either. And I don't know if I'm trying to remember in the preseason he probably did and or at least in training if it was if he boomed it out of the end zone or not. Yeah, well, how are we with our punt? Can he do it? Kick off? And I don't think anger. I think he's

the ever duncy guy, but I don't think so. So we'll see. I mean, this guy can kick off. Now, can you kick it through the end zone? Because some guy named Patterson standing there? It's crazy about the timing of all. Right, yeah, so maybe if you can't kick it over him, then dribble it down the middle. Right. I'm sure you have a kid who's that has a defensive back was kicking off? No, you know he was booming? Who kicked in training camp? Was Tyler Battish? He kicked

the field goal? They were doing something, remember the some contest or whatever ye, would the kickoffs a little different than you have need to have extension and power. So consider this. I made this list of guys that potentially would not play in this game or will not play. Randy Gregory to Marcus Lawrence, Neville Gallimore, Greg Zerline, Tyrann Smith, Cedric Wilson, Quentin Bohanna, Blake Jarwin, Tristan Hill, and Brett Urban. Brent Urban right, I said Brett again, Uh, that's a

pretty long list. And those are a bunch of guys that were projected starters. Uh, you know going into training camp. Well, when you look at it, this also adds up to depth right now, Tristan Hill has a chance. He has practiced and they don't have to give an ind report on him, but he has to. Uh. And then I don't know about Bohannah. I think Cedric Wilson can get out there. Red Urban still on I R. And the rest of the guys are basically on some sort of reserve list right now. So that's a lot of guys

you're missing going into this game. I have a report on Brian Anger's kickoff history in the National Football Oh okay, okay, according to Pro Football ref Reference, which I subscribed to You do with the small football print Reference not Pro Football, and you've subscribed to it, why don't I subscribe to what they say? Oh, I believe it. I believe I'm like, I'm like, I'm getting it for free for years. No. No,

he acts as if his endorsement really means something. That's right. Yea, as long as I endorsement, I'm going, Man, I've been getting getting away with it. I'm not anything for this. There's more me Eight kickoffs in his career and he is average kickoff average sixty three point one yards. That's not booming it through the end, getting it into the end. His most recently it was two kickoffs last year, an average of sixty three. So does the reference keep tract

of Canadian football statistics? Oh well, I'm gonna look that up and we will have more coming up on nick shots in just a moment.

He had problems. Somebody turned on the noise cancelers. There you go. Okay, so you're fine now,

or of course we need to stop down for this. Okay, we continue. We just want to let the fans in on what was going on here. We kind of went off the rails doing the break. You'd look at the information, he's yeah, you know, I'll in on that, all right. I'm trying to find We gave a promise of some Football League stats on Lirium Hirru Lahoo the Cowboys kicker on Sunday against the Falcons, and on this website there

is nothing about kickoffs. Forty seven out of fifty five on field goal attempts in his career, though he was the most valuable, are they all? And Canada I believe so. Yeah, and that's kicking in bad weather, Oh yeah, that's yeah. His longest field goal of his CFL career fifty six yards two years ago. And you know he kicked the winning field goal in the Great Cup one year for Toronto in twenty seventeen in the snow was thirty eight yards or something. I think it was in the snow.

It was virtually every game's played in the snow that I figured this thing out too, by the way, even in the summer time. So the field is a hud. The field is one hundred and ten yards long, okay, twenty yards for the end zone. That's a lot of years to score a touchdown. Says hundred lines are one hundred and ten yards apart, and then another twenty yards in the end zone on each side. So it's a hundred and fifty yards and white and sixty uh sixty

five yards wide opposed to fifty three. Wow, that's why you can get a quarterback who can run to do Dave NFL it's fifty three. Yeah, what's the why fifty three? I think maybe that's how it fit into the old stadiums. Maybe it may have something to do with playing with baseball baseball ballparks and having to convert to football, and I'm not read. It might be that. I'm not sure, but that's interesting. It's something for Mickey to look up over the weekend and why fifty three? See intensive Fish,

I like myself to ask these. All I know is length was a problem, especially for the Bears when they played at Wrigley Field because they went from left field to the first baseline and left field after the ten yard end zone there might have been five feet. So you better catch the ball or getting in the dangerous stadiums. Otherwise you're running in to the ivy wall where the ivy was dead. You know, you got you have to think about this. Think about the disadvantage to a defensive

back in the CFL. Oh yeah, because of course they can no motion. They can charge before the ball snap. They can full speed, they're running at you. Yeah, and you have a wider field to cover deeper end zone. They want score would why wouldn't I don't know. It seemed like it would be automatic to go up to a candidate and get some dbs because they just used they used to covering much more territory. Or they can't

cover because they got so much territory. But but it's like when heavy shoes or ankle braces, you know, the ankle weights, you know, you take them off, you're like, WHOA, I can jump higher. So if you put them on the smallest field, I did. Yeah, I don't know if they hill I did too. I know they did not help. I think we just didn't jump higher. No, we damage that tendons. That's what we did. Yeah, in basketball water Color, where your tenants shoes, your Converse All Stars? They were going, okay,

it was yeah and MacArthur, we were red. I contended, that's why it looked like we couldn't jump. It's because we had red shoes. Hide Why is that? How would you think that it had more? We had a lot of Bill Joses on our team. Yeah, I'm achievers. That that's why we could do. Achievers. I'm sorry, white achievers. I don't think they started going. They didn't start colored tennis exactly. That's my point. Everybody, white shoes. Don't you have leather shoes back then? Do you still have your

Converse All Stars from I've got mine. I still have. There is absolutely no patting on. Well here's what might as well play barefoot? He was having me. I tried to go retro when I made the Cowboys. I went and bought some uh denhim, I guess, uh, you know Chuck Taylors And now you know, I'm dude. I could play anything, and and I have Chuck Taylor's from my nose, the Chuck Taylor. They've got nothing. Oh oh, my blisters

came up, dude, blisters all over the place. I went out and play some basketball in them, Like man, I got some little chucks. I'm going at you. I went out there, came home and I had blisters all over my feet on the bottom of they were. I was so hurt because he had no cushion. It had no cushion. Believe that's how long? How long? How far? Shoes? Back in the day, when you got a pair of those, the thing, especially when I was growing up, you did not wear those outside. You walked to the gym with

your tennis slung over your shoulder. That's why they go to the park anywhere, going to the park. The guys would never wear them to the park. They would sling them over their shoulders and then put them on the part. Absolutely okay, Uh, Terrence Steele, is he gonna be better this week? At left tackle? Did you listen to Terres Steal getting some help a little bit? Not the whole thing, the whole thing. He was talking about how Tyran Smith helps him out, that he's right there with him every

step giving him pointers. Um. But when McCarthy talked about him, he just felt that an extra week of practice on the left side. About about when he was talking about this is your left and this is yeah right, yeah, about when the difference you when you're playing on the left side rather than the right side, and how different it is. Did you hear him talking. I did not hear that, okay, because he talked about that. He said,

it's like everything's different, everything's different. That's crazy. And I got and I was thinking. He said, it's like right and left handed. If you're right handed, and it's like right on left handed and your steps are different. Well, here here's another thing. I was thinking about it. It would be like a basketball Just hearing him talk about it, I assume it would be like a basketball player who's only worked on right handed layups and hasn't worked any

on left handed layups. What do you think of that analogy? And even after I worked on him, I wasn't very good. I don't think you were good at right now. I you know, I'm a little prejudice on this one because it's not as intricate as making a basket. Yeah, you know what I mean, that's still that target there now. I will say mentally, you gotta change things up when it comes to your stance and the balance that you have to have as the play develops, and and things that.

I mean, one thing, on a layup, you're jumping off a different foot right, Yeah, but only only in that regard wouldn't be to be different. Jumping off the foot is easier than jumping off the foot and making a left right. So it's not that, see what I'm saying. That's my point. But in basketball you could always get to the right side. Unfortunate kind of football, you are on the left side. And as I think about it, like I said, switching to the other side, I've done

it it. I can't see how it's it's an adjustment. I didn't realize how tough it was for a line. And that is the so and I am because I don't understand it. I mean, because I don't don't quite understand it. I understand that it's a problem for them that I do agree with that, Yeah, because it seems to be very difficult to do. And so the question is will a week of work and help him in order? How much will it help? It don't help, Yeah, I

think he may still need some help. He will until they feel comfortable that you know with his first step is going to be part of my picked a click. By the way, Terrence Steele, I didn't say that titan. You're not gonna tell us, okay five minutes in the last segment of the show, right, okay. So the other question then becomes, you know, what do they do a defensive end? And and there's so many people think, well, you just put Micah Parsons out there. Well, I don't

think it's that simple. And I think I still think he is more effective in the middle of the field than he is where everybody knows what he's gonna do. If he's lightned up a defensive end, what's he doing? Let me say this, how about how about it being offered as an option in certain packages? Exactly? And that's I think McCarthy kind of mentioned that that you know, he's versatile, But one of the things he said is, you know, in the middle of the field, people don't

know what he's doing. Yeah, right, And as I pointed out yesterday, when you stand up over the center, the center don't know which side he's going to, right, and he gets the first step because the center got to snap the ball. You know, when I felt the most comfortable as a defender because the flex was tough on

the defensive back. That plane threw on so much. When Erny Stoutness started dowaling it up and we went with what we call the max blitz, and you had either Bob Runi and Michael Downs or Blockhart and Michael Downs. And then you had Dexter Click Scale. Who's one of the best blitzer is the Cowboys. I think I've ever had. When you have those guys up there and we call the max blitz, I felt extremely comfortable, like you were good. Yeah,

I had that. It's over with and we created so much cat which is exactly what they do with their stand up blitzes. It looks it brings back those memories and it is. It is very intimidating for the quarterback at that time. Not as much shotgun necessarily, some guys will still go under and when you're under the center and Michael d Mike's oars was come, my God, can reach them here to that wall over there, and so sometimes he grabbed them before they've even pulled out from

under center. Yeah, so we'll see. I think there'll be certain like say it's third and fifteen, he's going going a defensive end, right, But third and seven, third and five, I want them at linebackers and and and think about

you know, we talked about this earlier. Who you know who's capable of running with Kyle Pitts when they put him outside, because he's very rarely in the line, right, he's not your traditional tight end, and you can say, wow, the linebacker can take them, or the safety containes up. I saw some stuff where he was out wide and it's like he was on the boundary. Well I've seen that yet, then I better put the corner out there. That's why he's catching all his big, big pass Yeah.

So so I just think his versatility is what he snakes him. Yeah, that's right. Seven targets you got given right here in their release. No, what I thought there was some Pro Football Reference ball. Yeah, that's that's where we cleared it up. Now that's Pro Football Focus. That's why he subscribes to Pro Football Reference. Pro Football Reference. That's one guy in the country who's actually paying money for their services. Um, you need a difference, do the

homework paying gotta do. I subscribe to that theory. I'm not paying for the theory. I subscribe to all right, and have my question for the listeners out there. Do you subscribe to Everson and Mickey's picks to Click each week? Well? I suggest you do, and we're going to hear them next here on mix shots. Honey, big news, Gary? Are you okay? Oh?

All right, So while you're out there trying to do your pregame show on the field, they'll probably have one hundred or so former cheerleaders out there going through whatever they're going to do at a halftime. Sixty years of Dallas Cowboys cheerleader they want to attend, and I think yes, absolutely sixty at anniversary. Could you imagine if they have the same like injuries and stuff like like former players have, you know, like knee pole because that's some athletic stuff

that did. Oh no, yeah. As a matter of fact, the one year when they had the opening ceremony at training Camp and Brad Sham for some reason wasn't there. So I did the MC thing for it, and they came out and did their little dance routine and the next thing, I know, after it finished, the one of the girls like disappeared behind whatever blow up thing they had out there, a helmet. She dislocated her knee, Camp Man telling but you know what, she didn't leave until

the routine was over. Right. They are what people don't understand, and it's a misnomer that they're cheerleaders. They're a dancing dance and their athletes. That's why. That's why I was saying exactly what I said. They they trained, they stretched, they get injured. You know, they still have to have coverage, you know, from all the injuries that they had, and sometimes they you know have bad hip like like Bill,

you know what I mean. All the stuff to say I found out when I when I went on their their trips and did kind of little stories on their careers or whatever. A lot of them were former athletes, you know, they played volleyball or basketball. And one of them, by the way, who was on Talking Cowboys with us for several years, Sonny Cranfield, Um, she was miss Texas. But she earned a Treck scholarship to Arkansas, one of the schools in Arkansas. And I said, what would you run?

And she goes, hurdles. I said hurdles. I said, if you were on hurdles, you have to fall and scrape your knees. She goes. I can't tell you how many times I did. So you think you got this beauty pageant girl and she's tough as nails because she's running hurdles. I still have marks on my knees from hurdles. I can never get over there. I'll tell you what as

you got it was for Mickey. It was high jumping. Hey, back in the day it was high hurdles and lowers, very true, and the high and low ones they got higher as you got. I gave up tracking, like I don't think I could make that. I'm sorry. I used the hurdles as the high jump. You guys were probably running on Tarted service. We had senders. We were sending. It was like gravel. No, we we were sender. Yeah. We would say okay um before we get to our picks.

Jerry was on the radio this morning and you caught it. I only caught the first part. Did you the quote of the day? Did you catch I did not anybody that thought we weren't going to have to burn some of these wagons as we go well with the old wagon train and use some of them for firewood and lose some folks on the way or birth. Some doesn't understand understand an NFL season a long journey to get to California. I've heard him use that before. That's great,

we got to burn some wagons. Come on, I'm looking for Native America's I'm charging over here. Okay, it's so we move on to our picks. You need to send that to me. I think that would fit in my column for today. That was fit for the dinner party. That's what that was fit for. I will send it to you right now. All right, Okay, so we gotta make picks. Huh. We did so well last week. I have sucked all year. The moment, the moment I step out of my bag, you know what I mean, I'm

gonna go all in with them. Then it just totally flips on me. All right, So what are you doing this week? This week? I am I think I'm still back. I'm back. I'm back in the bag. Again, I know we're gonna win. I know that we're gonna have problems. I still look at our defense to give up big plays, but I still look at our offense to get everything to right the ship, you know, because we have always been driven by our offense. That's just the way it is.

Not the Patriots game necessarily, but what was the game when they just really had a Minnesota game? That was obviously an operation. So that's cool, that's the way we are. We were comfortable with that before the Minnesota game, right, we knew that was us. So I'm looking at us to come back and score highly. Thirty eight twenty eight, that's a score I'm looking at. And I have one pick to click, which is really easy. But he's gonna be busier, and I'm hoping the matchup comes with Pits

versus Curse. Okay, we're gonna have to really fill in, you know, up front. I think that's gonna that makes him even more valuable because of his versatility. I think having him on on Pits could I think it'd be a great matchup. I think he may give some up, but he'll be he'll do just enough to to make sure that he doesn't hurt us too much. But having said that, and it's an easy pick because he's always having a bunch of tackles. He's in on a bunch

of tackles all the time. He's gonna be busier because of pits. Going back to my honorable mention, Kellen Moore had better come out of his bag. He needs to protect who he needs to protect. I don't care how he does it. We can't have that same disadvantage again. And when we when we hold him off, we are a better team. Maybe not running, I mean we sacrifice sometimes I run to protect because we are very effective

passing the balls. So I think he really needs to come out of his bag and show us something different, keep him off balance. So what would your score? Thirty eight twenty eight? Right? Oh you know what, I'm sorry. I got a little scared uh and got a little confident. I crossed it out and put twenty four four. So if my name came up on the bingo machine, you've been pretty good. You've been pretty good. Um. I have not lost confidence in this team. So I'm gonna pick

thirty to twenty seven. WHOA thirty twenty seven and thirty means I either get a couple of field goals, or I get a missed extra point, you would have three field goals or or or one field goal this extra point, or you get four touchdowns in a safety now or a safety which could have could happen. Not so thirty twenty seven, and I am sticking. I'm gonna be stubborn because I know my pick to click last week was Ezekiel Elliott, and this team gives up one hundred and

twenty three yards a game rushing. So I am sticking with Zeke that they are going to load up on him and keep that Atlanta defense off there, you know, keep them on their heels because if not, they're going to try to put an undue pressure on Dak Prescott. So fur the hell of it, just giggles. Who would be honorable mention? Honorable mention? It's going to be And this one's too easy, but Michael Parsons, all right, you

ready for me? Yes, I'm going with are the people out there Cowboys victory, Cowboys victory, and it's going to be one sided in favor of the Cowboys. For some reason, these numbers came to mind forty one and seventeen, So I'm going with forty one to seventeen Cowboys. There's there's some gag there, gimmick for your score. Nope, I've got a gimmick on my picks to click though. I got

on defense. My pick to click is former Atlanta Falcon Keyan O'Neil and actually with the Parsons maybe playing some defensive end Keyan O'Neil's role and with what they've got it tied in with Pitts, what they've got with Cordarrell Patterson in the backfield. I can see Keyan O'Neil playing a big role on this defense this week. And a second, you want a second pick to click, I'll go with a guy from Atlanta, Georgia area, and that would be return of Michael Gallop. Gallup finds the end zone. So

there you go. All right? I didn't know. Yeah, he's from I think suburb or just outside in a small small town. Explain where you going to be this weekend? Oh, we're gonna be at the Omni. Don't forget. Did we change? Really? You know he sent me that, Yes, yes, I got it. We're at the Omni at I didn't even look at it. I just copied and if anybody wants to join us there, you can sign up. As you show up, they take walk ins and make yourself eligible to get in the

autograph line. But yes, so who's showing up? Um? You know it's been vander Esh almost every week, Yes, and Randy Gregory, so I'm guessing Gregory's not there. And then they last week they had some some newbies there, I believe. So yeah. But anyway, Everson and Aisle get people riled up. And what time again when we go on stage? That starts at like one o'clock? Okay, and tickets are available, all right, and Michael Gallop from Monroe, Georgia, Monroe, Georgia.

And that does it for another week of mixed shots and we will shout at you again on Monday on a Cowboys stampede Victory Monday. Have a great weekend, Go Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
