Mick Shots: On The Corner

first time since January inside the SWBC Mortgage studio. I have been in the Academy Sports and Outdoors TV studios down the Nike Star Walk here try to get all your plug at Ford Center at the Start in Brisco. And Mickey Spagnola is on the other side of the plexiglass from me. We are safe, safely socially distanced away from each other. Hello, Mickey, I can maybe knock on the glass when it's if you can reach it. You can't reach it though, I oh, I almost knocked it over.

Get close. And a really socially distanced from us is Everson Walls in his home office. Hello Everson, how are you? How are you doing? Sir? I just want to say, I'm glad you're finally dissing the uniform that you're usually wear for this show. Usually you have no pants on, so now I had to put pants on pants while doing the show this year. Yeah, I can gratulation. Yeah, Mickey, what's your temperature? You even sound different? I do, yeah

about that. I checked in this morning at ninety seven degrees, so I was a little cold, and I checked in at ninety seven point seven because you gotta have your temperature check come in. Fortunately, it's just a forehead chick. But there's news. There is news happening out here at the Star in Frisco, which Mickey will get us posted on right off the top. If you heard Mike McCarthy's press conference this morning, some news being made here, and

it's a good thing. Mister cornerback over there, Everson walls that this team has plenty of cornerbacks on a roster. Yeah. I thought maybe for a second there they were going to say, Okay, Everson, you need to earn your money even more so now and get over here. I'm ready. I'm ready, I'm ready. You know it's bad enough that they're down three offensive tackles. Uh, and now the injury

bug has hit the cornerback position. H Anthony Brown was placed on injured reserve on Saturday with a rib injury he kind practice in the week, and now we knew that chitube O woozier Uh suffered a strained hamstring in the game, and you guys, as has turned out, Mike McCarthy at least allowed this morning that he will be out multiple weeks. It looks like and probably looks like

not ready for this game Sunday against Seattle. So the Cowboys are going to be down two of their Basically what they started off was that two of their top three cornerbacks without Brown and the Woozy on the field coming up, So they're gonna have to adjust multiple weeks.

Does that sound to you like it is a three week ir stay for Cheetah, Well they I don't know that they've decided that yet, Billpie, because it had they and maybe we find out, you know, he's on injured reserve at three o'clock, but three three weeks is the injured reserve stay. So maybe they think it's one week or two weeks and they're not going to make that move. I've got a question on placing a player on injured reserve.

The way it works in baseball, when you get placed on what used to be called the disabled list, they all call it the injured list. You can make it. You can backtime it to when you last played in a game, so a meaning like for in baseball, Let's say a pitcher gets hurt on a Tuesday, and by and on Friday, they determine that he needs to go on the injured list. Well, they can backtime is stay to Wednesday, which would be his first the day that

he didn't pitch any game. Can the can In the NFL, can you wait a week and backtime the clock on the injured reserve list? I didn't think so, but I wanted to clarify. Baseball they play every day, right right. This is so when you go on in right reserve right now, you've got to miss three games. But so they need to if if they want to play you see money injured reserve and they want this week to count, it needs to happen before Sunday. Yes, absolutely, you have

to do it before three o'clock Saturday. Afternaturday afterno, yeah, so they have exactly so they have at least that amount of advantage to Is there any advantage to putting him on IR right now, or is it more advantageous for us to to leave him off of IR hopefully comes back son where it would be advantageous. Is it obviously opens up a roster spot if they have someone

they want to add to the roster. But what they I would think what they want to figure out first is what is the prognosis how long is he going to be out? And if they can make that determination that he's for sure going to miss three weeks, then it's an easy decision to make to go ahead and do it. Now they open up the roster spot. And just remember, you know, if you have a forty eight man game day roster, you you're going to have to have six guys inactive or whatever however many that comes

to if you put those two guys up. So uh yeah, if you're if you're unsure, you just keep them and you've got probably enough corners now on the roster to that you probably don't need, and you could promote somebody from the practice squad, right because that was my next question. You could do that if you needed to. I think Savon Savon Smith is on there and then also I saw Robinson. They protected him by the way this week.

So if you wanted to move those guys, one of those guys up along with an offensive lineman, you can do that. They did it with Alex Light last week. Make sure they had eight offensive linemen up so they can actually have forty eight active. So the bigger question also, they probably want to pick someone that has special teams. We lose Everson. That's what I was going, thank you, how about you guys in my head get out out of here. Yeah, but the bigger the bigger problem is

it's not I don't think it's manpower. Because remember Reggie Robinson has been inactive each week. He's been one of the inactives the first two weeks, so you may want to put him on the forty eight man ross. And we should keep in mind Reggie Robinson is a different player from Rashard Robinson. He's on the Freis squad, So let's still get a Robinson's He could help you on the special teams if you kept him active on game day. Now, the bigger question is who takes Chitubeewoozi a spot in

the starting lineup. UH and Mike McCarthy, you know, was open about his injury, but he was not open about what's he gonna do. Uh, it was the it was the same, well, we've got combinations that we can work there sort of what he kind of said, uh, to not spill the beans on the offensive tackles. But to me, I went back and looked because the last possession the Cowboys played on defense, A Woozier wasn't on the field, and it looked like he hurt himself on the rekick

of that last field goal. Remember they were attempting a field goal and they had a false start and they were penalized five yards and they did it again, and on the rekick, they moved to Woozier from the left the fire left end to the far right end of the Cowboys block formation, and he came flying through and do came really close to it too, by the way he did. And when he landed, he tucked his head and he did a forward somersault for kind of a forward role. And when he came up you can see

him both hands. He grabbed his left hamstring and so I'm assuming that's when it happened. So the next possession that they finally stopped the Falcons and were able to go down and score that touchdown. After the stop, they had Treyvon Diggs at left corner and Darryl Worley at right corner. And Worley had been playing some safety along with Brandon Carr, but in that situation they had him at right corner and they had Darian Thompson back at

safety with Xavier Woods. So that's one thought. I think the other thought might be, you know, Brandon cars played twelve years at cornerback. You know, they kind of looked at him as a safety, but they would have that alternative if they want him to do that. And he has played left corner in this league. I believe bill that's what he did when he was here with the Cowboys. He was on the left side right, So that's an alternative.

I don't think they trust Jordan Lewis out there or want to put a short corner out on the edge. He had enough trouble inside in the slot. They don't need to be moved and him around. And you know, wor Yeah and Moorley also worked in the slot. So they have some combinations and it may be matchups. However, Seattle plays it. You know, they might play it too,

depending on who their third wide receiver is. I gotta say, you know, when you talk about covering the slot receivers, that is probably the most difficult position on the entire field, probably besides playing quarterback. If I'm not mistaken. That's just my opinion. Putting Jordan Lewis out on the edge, Spags, it might actually be a little bit advantageous to him because you have once when you're in the slot, there is no tip off in regards to alignment and things

of that nature. So the slot receiver seems to have the entire field, you know, to work with. If you went to put Jordan Lewis on the corner as a corner as a form of one, I think it would be a little bit easier for him because he really doesn't have to worry about covering someone all over the field. So Jordan Lewis, if it wasn't for his injuries that he was coming off of, he might have been a decent replacement. I look at playing the car I didn't

think about that until you say something, Spags. I would think, seeing that that's his original position, that he would probably be that replacement. You know, my guy. And also, let me give you pause about putting Jordan Lewis out on the corner. There's a guy on the other side of the field named DK Metcalf. I don't think I would like that matchup corner against this monster out on the outside. Let's spags. I don't give a dog off you put on Metcalf. It's gonna be a mismatch. Okay, let's just

be real. And I don't see what size. We don't have a cornerback. We don't have a quarterback on our roster that can match up with Medcalf. That's like saying you have a fourteen point play in your offensive game plan. It just doesn't happen. Now. If you look at Daryl Worley also as an option, I wasn't very impressed with him even trying to cover the tight ends last week.

I think it wasn't the Rams game. I think maybe where he just let the tight end come inside on him when they were almost lined up all the way over to the sideline and he let him run an inside route. That as a cornerback is just unforgivable. You know, if he's lined up shaking the coach's hand on the sideline, then you need to be at an inside strong position, So a slant route should be the last thing that they should catch on you, and much less he let

it happen from a tight end. So I don't know how much confidence they have in Worally being able to play cornerback if you can't even cover Bigsby on a slant route, So Bradon Carr might be your only option, and a timely option at that, seeing that they just they just activated them. And you know the other thing with Seattle, and they can obviously move guys around and put them in the slot, but I think they're normal slot receiver. Philip Dorset has been placed on injured reserve,

so he's out. They're gonna have to rely on David Moore and maybe Freddie Swaddie Swain, he's a rookie. And their starters are dk Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, who obviously can play in the slot. I think Tyler Lockett is the ultimate slot guy. I think that if I if I'm Seattle, I'm gonna replace him in the slot and then we'll worry about who's on the outside. Because Lockett is We're gonna have some issues with that guy. Forget Metcalf. If you can keep up with Lockett, you're doing a

good job, you know. And if you look at I haven't closely studied Seattle. I did watch a good bit to the game against the Patriots, the TV copy, But if you look at snap count Seattle against New England the other night, they used a lot of two tight ends against New England and it's basically a fifty fifty split. They had sixty five snaps in the game, where they're about sixty three snaps in the game, and their third receiver, David Moore, had thirty two snaps and their second tight end,

Will Disley had thirty one snaps. So now that was against the Patriots, and they probably were may have been going big a little bit against the Patriots, because as we talked about last week, New England is going with a lot of five and I mean their base is a five dB set. They're playing a safety at linebacker

right now. And so anyway there, their approach against the Cowboys might be different than what it was against the Patriots last which, by the way, when excuse me, the Cowboys stopped them on that possession when Ouozier wasn't on the field. They they remained in their nickel, but they they brought the safety Darian Thompson to a linebacker spot, figuring they're gonna run the ball and try to drain

the clock here. And so they basically played Thompson as a as a linebacker and Woods single safety high with Jordan Lewis still in the slot. So there's different ways to do all this. Now it's not the only injury problem they still have to worry about. Tyrn Smith, Mike McCarthy said, would be with the rehab group. So that means, uh, you know, he's working on the resistance chords and working with the trainers, doing whatever he needs to do to get that neck ready to go. And DeMarcus right, no, no,

not at all, I said, he's with the rehab group. So, uh, they're gonna it looks like they're easy trying to ease him back in, maybe get him to Sunday. I would imagine they think, well, he doesn't have to start, you know, and I and and there's one more and I'll get back to that. DeMarcus Lawrence miss for personal matters. Uh, he missed practice today, So we'll see where that one goes.

And remember he had a little bit of a need deal and didn't play all that much in the second half, although you know what I saw the first possession of the third quarter and he was moving, you know, decently. Uh. They probably wanted to try to preserve him and you know,

not cause the problem to get any any worse. But you know, when I went back and looked at some of the plays with Brandon Knight, he kind of did Okay, he wasn't you know, he wasn't getting blown up and they weren't having to put the tight end over there. You know, the tight end was a lot of the times on Terrence steel side or Zeke was helping to

chip a little bit too over there. So uh, you know, I mean Brandon Knight, maybe you know, you probably don't want to go sixteen games with him, but you know, if if if Tyrn can play, he's he's probably maybe your you know, your swing tackle, or maybe they put him on the right side because that's where he's played. So it'll be interesting to see since cam Irving's on

I R and he's still out. And the one thing they did last week on Sunday, they took they moved Alex Light from the practice squad to the regular roster so he could be eligible to be the swing tackle on that day. And by the way, the update, i'd I'd love to reiterate how I have to have confidence in my fellow free agents. Okay, right, let's just be let's give them the benefit of the doubt. He did a great job last week, and I'm just like these bags.

I went back and took a look at it. He was on his own out there, and he did a really good job. You can't fast the four hundred and plus yards without your tackles holding up well. And there are times when you can't chip and you can't put a tight end on the side, and you got to throw the balls down the field, right down the field. You can't get rid of it quickly every time and be effective. Yeah, there were times when we had to do the play asstion Dak had to hold it and

Brandon had his back, literally had his back. Got an update their bit and the update, Chris Beam told me that Clarence Hill had tweeted that DeMarcus Lawrence is out today because his wife is in labor. That was two hours ago. I tried to confirm that myself by searching through Clarence Hill's timeline to try to find it. But it took. After I got through the thirty five retweets on Clarence Hill's timeline, I finally got confirmation myself. I

finally got to that tweet two hours ago. I've never seen anybody in the world who retweets more than Clarence Hill the Star Telegram. Well, if you if you remember when when all this stuff came up about opting out, you know he was it was a consideration for him because his wife was pregnant. There you go. So if we go back and then he decided that she said you go play, I'll take care of the baby and so and this like it's the do day to day today.

That's right. So that is a personal to the lowest family. And good job to you, Bill. Way to go, buddy, Way to dig it out, baby. Thanks to Chris Be our crack producer here on mix Shots.

Get yours at Dallas Cowboys dot com slash tickets. The reason I asked that is I was taping the Mike McCarthy TV show last night and at the end of the show, I always like to throw in that we'll see again next week when the Cowboys take on whatever team, and my mind drew a blank last I didn't. I didn't draw a blank on the air, but beforehand, I drew a blank. Who do they? Because I knew they played Cleveland the Giants in Arizona back to back to back at home in October, and I couldn't remember what

order they were in. And it's because I am so focused on this game against Seattle. I don't know if the team has had this game circled, but I have had this game circled since the season started and since the schedule came out, because I'm just looking forward to this matchup against the Seahawks. And as it turns out, Seattle is obviously playing very well to start the season. At two and oh Russell Wilson with nine touchdown passes

just one interception is playing particularly well. And so you know, most people, I think are going to pick the Seahawks to win this game because now they don't have the advantage of the twelves in the stands and that and that as loud as at that stadium normally is. But I think this is a game where if you especially you look in Dak Prescott's career, yeah, he comes through in big road games like this when he's got a

good team around him. And so I think this is a really good test to see where the Cowboys really are. You know, they've scored seventy three points, that gets your attention right away, but they've also given up fifty five and it could have very well been sixty two with Cam at the one yard line right and they'd be one and one ended and they would have been one and one. So there were one play away from having scored all those points and still being one in one

and having given up sixty two points. That's thirty one a game. So yeah, this will be it'll be an interesting matchup. I think a lot of it will have to do with if this Cowboy defense improves. And here's the other thing, and if you're not turned in the ball over five times, three lost fumbles, two fake punts. I think I counted all that up and it ended up being twenty six points. Those those turnovers led to twenty six points. It was two touchdowns or was it

three touchdowns and two field goals? Three touchdowns in two fields. It was twenty to nothing after the after the first quarter, and then they scored again, and then they scored another touchdown I think in the so it was three touches off the fat off the fake punt in the fourth quarter. And remember and here's a big difference, and it's like, oh, the Cowboys were stupid. They went for they went for two, didn't you know kick the extra point? Well, guess what

Seattle did? I mean the Falcons did the same thing at twenty at twenty six, right, they tried to make it twenty eight instead of twenty seven, and they missed, and they missed. It didn't work, so you know, they

they made a decision too. I kind of go back to where I got off yesterday about don't give me this stuff that they didn't deserve to win, or they got lucky Seattle didn't deserve to win either the way they played, and then the fact that they're screwed up the on site kick, which I finally got to listen to John Fossil talk about the watermelon kick and how they were just, yeah, they were screwing around and were trying to figure out ways to have an on site

kick because last year only six or seven percent of the on site kicks were recovered and they kind of

messed around and did this and John said, yeah. And then after that, you know, he tried it probably in practice when we're by ourselves, just the three of them, the punner, kicker and deep snapper, and he said he might have tried it like fifty times and trying to figure out how slow to kick it, what angled to kick it at at And he said, we only practice it twice on a Saturday before for three weeks, so two three saturdays in a row they practice it with

the entire team. And then the other thing. And he didn't want to answer this one. It was pretty obvious and it was a good question. He said, was there was there a reason you kicked it to the Cowboys sideline because you didn't want the Falcons coaches to yell at him to jump on the ball and he goes. I'll reserve the right to not answer that question. So obviously it was yes, that actually makes him, That actually makes him seem like a kg uh Special Team's coach.

But I mean, let's just be real. It was he had to kick it that way because of his right foot. I mean, that's just to me as far as just because he's right foot. Using other question I had exactly the other question I had was, you know, when you come to the watermelon, was it yellowt me the red meat doesn't make a difference in how the ball, how it travels. I mean, that's something we need to research. But when you're talking about Fossil, Fossil is going to

have his hands full this week. And you knows facts. Coach Carroll uses every tool in his book, He uses every fast of the game. He can get very tricky. His entire Special Teams staff, they're very cagy on what they can do. I think they really kind of match Fossil in their creativity. But hopefully we can be a little bit more strategic on when we go for it on fourth down. I don't see us doing something like that on the road going for these fourth down plays,

at least not two in a row. That's something that's very risky. I mean, he's risky at home, you know, it's gonna be risky on the road. So let's just be let's have an eye out for just the chess match that's going to be going on, just between the special teams coaches on both sides. I think it's going

to be very interesting little chess match. The other thing about the watermelon kick, as Mike McCarthy pointed out in the taping of his show, it's not the first time that a John Fossil team has attempted the watermelon kick. They also attempted it against the Cowboys last year in the cowboys forty four to twenty one win over the Rams. But it was not Greg Zerline who was doing the honors. It was Johnny Hecker instead. The punter was handling the kickoff and he dribbled it out of bounds, and so

it was not noteworthy at all. And so obviously Greg Zerline is a whole heck of a lot more efficient at it than Johnny he got. He got the thing to spend right. Maybe his watermelon kick was seedless, so it's spun better. You know the other thing about me, I like that black and it might have another thing about the special teams guys, that punter. Speaking of the punter, he got Special Teams Playing of the Week. If I'm not mistaken, this guy say their offense every almost every

time he kicked the ball. He put the Patriots in the hole almost every time he kicked it. When you can affect feel position from your punter, which we do sometimes here with Jones, we're very blessed to have a great punter as well. When you're talking about your punner getting Special Teams Player of the Week, that means that he made a big difference in the game, even without the twelfth man that they have out there. So cowboys an't gonna They're gonna have to be very respectful of that.

And hey, even to Bill's little cheerleading side of things over there. That might give Ceedee Lamb a chance to return some Let's just think about that. He might OutKick his coverage because he's so good that Ceedee Lamb might have a chance to the house. I need I need to do some research on Cede Lamb versus Michael Dixon. The punter for Seattle of course, Texas Longhorn. Texas Longhorn fans of course know who Michael Dixon is, and any fans of the Big Twelve because he played at Texas.

He was a fifth round pick two years ago. Yes, he's from Australia and one of a whole bunch of Australian punters who have come over here now. And there's a reason they made him a fifth round pick and he made the Pro Bowl his rookie season with the Seahawks. So good eye there, Everson, And now, okay, I have to figure out. So it would have been CD's freshman year at OU. If he was returning punts his freshman year, he might have tried to return one of Michael Dixon's

punts at the cotton Ball. Well, if he wasn't, he should have been. But with OU's defense, I don't know that Texas ever punted. I show you that's the thing. If you're if you're a if you're punting in the Big Twelve, you don't get a lot of exposure with the Big Twelve defenses. Right, That's like playing volleyball and not holding served. Right, That's exactly right, all right? The fact, the fact that he got drafted anyway, that says a whole lot about him. And those those those Australian punters

when they come over here, they don't just kick. They love to kick a little lass as well, got a little rugby background in them. Uh and so when that when the if the returner comes their way, then they might some of them have the reputation of being able to bring that hat with them. And uh so let's look out for that as well. Yeah, I'm a little Texas ou payback on one way or the other. And in fact, Dixon was the Ray Guy Award winner at Texas and he was the MVP of the two thousand

and seventeen Texas Bawl. All right, that is our punter talk. What I remember about that guy? You remember the Texas ball. I remember he did something that he ended up in the MVP of the game. I think he killed a bunch of that because they were playing against Missouri. They killed a bunch of and that was that was when Tom Herman made the antics on the sideline. Right. See now it's coming, Yeah, it's all coming back. Who's that quarterback from Missouri? They're welcome back? Who's now with the

Denver Bronc goes and he's out a few weeks. Got a shoulder. That's exactly right, all right? We continue with more mix shots in just a moment.

Coming to the Cowboys game next weekend, make sure you know before you go, wear a mask, keep distance, and be prepared for cashless transactions. Please be aware of all safe stadium policies prior to arriving at AT and T Stadium. Visit Dallas Cowboys dot com slash safe Stadium for details.

And I bet the extra detail on that is good to be. Wear a mask and keep it on too, by the way, otherwise you get one hundred thousand dollars. Fine, well, I'll tell you what. Man sure got their hands slapped right fans for not keeping their masks gone in the stadium because there won a lot of masks done in the second half. I must admit, did you hear they asked Mike McCarthy about it, about the fines those guys were getting. He goes, it's a lot of money. That's

that's a lot of money. One hundred thousand dollars. That is no joke. I thought there was going to be something way under six figures. They went straight straight to the top straight to the head one hundred thousand dollars, and they find the teams two hundred and fifty thousand each. You know what, A million dollars in fines went out over the weekend, and then and then and then seven hundred more on Monday night because neither of them had

their masks gun with. With head coach salaries these days in the NFL, it's a lot less money to them than it is to us. That might going out to dinner for us sometimes I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do what the percentage of that is? And so what would be the equivalent in finding us one hundred dollars? They're one hundred thousand dollars? Fine, yeah, yeah, I think that's

about right about. Yeah, all right. We talked about the Special Teams Player of the Week, and I don't know how in the world you give it to a punter over Greg Zerline and the watermelon kick, But they did that exactly, the watermelon kick in a winning field goal. I mean, I thought, I thought for sure that had sealed the Special Teams Player of the Week. Ah, it's the first thing I thought of, all right, Speaking of Dak,

what about what about some other award winners. Jack won the NFC Offensive Player of the Week, so that probably Trump given it so they couldn't give it to two counts. And somebody noticed that he threw for four hundred and fifty yards with two backup undrafted tackles out there and led an offense with five hundred and seventy yards and scored forty points in the game without the help of any takeaways or botched fake punts or whatever trickery that the Falcons might have tried. So he had he had

one fumble, but he had no interceptions as well. I am all right, And it wasn't a fumble. It was a sack fumble, meaning he got blasted and the ball came out. Yeah, well he was, you know, he was trying to do a little more than what he needed to do. He needed to just go ahead and take the sack, but he was trying to get it out to Dalton Schultz there and didn't work out. So well, yeah,

that's right, all right. The other thing we want to mention before the end of mix shots is the passing of the great Gale Sayers at the age of seventy seven a day. Wow, what a talent. Gayl Sayers was. It was an NFL career that was cut short due to injury, but the youngest player to be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at age thirty four. That's how good he was in his short NFL career. And on YouTube, I'm sure you can go back and

watch some of those highlights. GAYL Sayers was sensational. I'll tell you what. So he was a rookie first round draft choice in sixty five by the Bears, so I got to watch a lot of Gayl Sayers. And as I've told you guys before, I grew up a Green Bay Packers fan, and he used to run circles around the Packers and I was going to say the defense but on special teams they could not catch him. It was unbelievable. And I can't tell you I probably was well.

I was probably around that age where you kind of knew some cuss words and if I had no more in a little older I can't tell you how many times I yelled at the TV when they could not stop Gail Sayers. He was unbelievable. He was awfully, awfully, awfully good. And how about this, if I remember correctly, that draft, not only do they get Gail Sayers, but they drafted Dick Buckas too, out of the University of Villa Wow. Yeah. At nineteen sixty five draft, as says

was the fourth pick. Okay, here is the sixty five draft, which was a pretty good draft for the Cowboys too. If I were at sixty four, was really good for the Cowboys, all right. Top five picks of the may you can go further than that, Top top seven picks of the nineteen sixty five draft. The New York Giants number one overall, took Tucker Frederickson, running back out of Auburn. San Francisco took Ken Willard, fullback out of North Carolina.

Number three pick. The Chicago Bears select Dick Buttkas middle linebacker Illinois. Number four pick. The Bears take GAYL. Says, half back from Kansas. The fifth pick, the Cowboys select Craig Morton, quarterback from cal And the reason I want to go to number seven. Number seven, the Green Bay Packers take the Golden Tellamino. It was Donnie and Donnie Anderson out of Texas take I remember they followed that up with Jim Grubowski. Well, they first followed it up

with Larry Elkins out of base Joe Namath. Joe Namath was the twelfth pick of the Saint Louis Cardinals in the nineteen sixty five draft. Of course, he also was picked by the New York Jets, and he made his fame with the New York Jets. So how about this from gilbrad Well. We have to point out though, that I think Gayl Say has probably had the best individual performance in any game. What was the six touchdowns on an extremely muddy field? That YouTube game can be looked

up as well. Of that game can be looked up on YouTube as well. I believe two of those touchdowns were punt returns. Just as Spaggs was talking about just how diverse he was. These days, you don't find the running back that also volunteers and excels at punt return. You could just imagine putting Tony Dorset back there to catch punts. Wouldn't put Smith punts, guarantee you you wouldn't want you wouldn't want Emmy Smith back there trying to return punts. I just couldn't see that. But that's just

how dynamic Gail Says was. He wasn't just a punt returner. He was the best punt returner that the league has probably ever seen in its history. So he was so fast. He was so fast that even the mud couldn't slow him down. And I've got the details that never failed. He never slipped on That one time he did slip. I believe that was the time he got injured with

a career ending injury. And he had that six touchdown game came his rookie season in nineteen sixty five to twenty win over the forty nine ers at Wrigley Field in Chicago. He had three hundred and twenty six yards in the game and six touchdowns. And they're still trying to stop rookie season, rookie season. That's amazing. This tweet from Gil Brandt, this tells you what Gil's memory is. He said, Gail Sayers and I go back to nineteen

sixty three when he was at Kansas. John Hadel's sister, Carol was football secretary at the school and introduced us. I asked him to tell me about the place he grew up. He told me all about Omaha, Nebraska in his days at Central High School. Only Gil would remember that stuff from that far back It's absolutely amazing. I think I think, I think Gail keeps names of certain people so he can blackmail them in the future. That has to be the only reason he remembers and writes

down all of that stuff. Unreal. But what is Gail Sairs best remembered for, most remembered for the movie Brian Brian's song or Wait ten times at least? And I ran across it a couple months ago when we were just searching for stuff to watch. And I'll guarantee you for this tenth time, I shed a tear. I'm kind of easy on that. And for those of you who are under the age of whatever they like nineteen seventy one, it was Brian's song in nineteen seventy one ABC Movie

of the Week, so it was made for TV. I didn't even realize it was a made for TV movie and yeah network, uh. And of course Brian Billy Billy d Williams played the role of gayl Sayers and James Cono is Brian Piccolo. And of course the tragic story of Brian Piccolo, who died of cancer at a very young age, is when he was playing for the Chicago Bears was diagnosed with it. He was the fullback, so he was leading the way. Yeah, the great movie. He

can probably find that somewhere. Well, I'm sure, I'm sure it's on YouTube. Yeah, all right, we ate up the entire last segment. And and I'm glad we did you know GAYL. Sayers one of the greats of National Football League history. Oh and and uh, I was looking at Gill's got like, go go to Gill's Twitter account and just he's got about five things on Gail's Sayers and

different things on. He was also drafted by the Chiefs, by the way Gill points out, he was the fifth pick overall by the Chiefs, the same spot the Bears took him. He said, in the dridge, you say he was fifth or fourth, fourth? He was fourth. A Gil made him a small mistake there, huh uh, he said, he said, Oh, this is a good one. This is Gil. I might have played a small role, but it was his wife who convinced him to play in Chicago rather

than with the Kansas City Chiefs. Yes, absolutely, all right, Everson, that does it for this addition to mix shots, we appreciate you and I know that you've got some hot sports opinions. About these Seattle Seahawks the next couple of days, right, and I think we might Oh, okay, all right, I was gonna give him the final word, but he'll have

to get the final word tomorrow, all right. We lost that injury report should come out here in about a half hour or so, so we'll have an update on just where everybody's at, and including with Seattle, because we remember we pointed out that they've got some injury probably too, they lost their best paths to two acls last week, Bruce Irvin and as well as Mark east Blair defensive back, so they're hurting too. All right. We'll have Mick shots again tomorrow at one thirty. Have a great rest of

your Wednesday. M hmm. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
