Mick Shots: Playoff Faces On

Tampa on Monday. Right, Okay, but I feel like we needed to start this show with some music. All right, Okay, you know what, and I have a selection that we should play that we probably can't play because of the bmiscapp rules, and that would be a happy birthday song. Yeah we can do that. Ah, there it is. Hey when you know this guy would have the happy birthday song? Cue ready to go, queue up because it's producers Supreme Chris Bean's birthday. Yea christoph first Chicago in the house. Baby, Yes,

where's that music? Yeah? It does not colut buddy quick. That's all That's all you could hear. But is better there? So that actually we pay for this music. Well, this is part of our music collection that we actually pay for it. All right, I can't get hit for this one. Happy birthday, Dear producer Symprey. Sounds like there's a little pep in a step. Huh, it's just a pep in my step because you bring up Chicago, and I know Mickey knows that there's a Portillo's that just opened over

there in the colony now almost open. No, it's open. No. My brother drove by it and there was about the line of cars in the drive through was probably over the bridge. Oh, because this morning when I went by, they were still working on it. I don't know. He said it was open because there was a long line, so maybe it was. It's the number of Chicago ones that have migrated down here was Chicago roast beef sandwich. We need a sponsor for this show. Well, I'll tell

you what. It feels a little bit like Chicago today outside because I looked at that practice field and I said, why isn't there a football team on that football team practicing? And then I remembered, Okay, it's the Windy City today. Yeah, gust up to twenty eight miles an hour. We are indoors to get ready posts. I looked out there the goal posts were shaking so far, like, yeah, wow, we figured it was privacy. I think I think Mike has given up on the private it was. We got skyscrapers

all around the practice field. It's like, it's like, no, the wind's blowing twenty five miles an hour. And probably you've been in a downtown area where the wind can come around a corner of a tall building, and now with these tall buildings here, it's probably even windier on that practice the front the entrance over there by by the health club. When you come in that entrance, that wind swirls in that little spot. That's why they call it a breeze away. I guess, yeah, no doubt, I'm

going through that. So we got indoor practice and I can't go on break to go peek at what's happening. Well you can't, but I missed. It's a long walk down the Nike star Walk to Ford Center. We're Hamstrong, all right. But Mike McCarthy did address the media and within the last hour, and I don't know that we've found out anything as far as UH players availability that we didn't know already, but it sounds like all the

injured guys will be participating. Whatever they did yesterday, they were able to mott game yesterday, game Wednesday this week. Tyler Beatish good to go. As a matter of fact, when they cleared the locker room yesterday, when we were in there and I was walking by and he was still at his locker, and I said, are you good? He goes, I'm good? Are you good? And I was like, it doesn't matter if I'm good? Are you good? Can

we can we stop right there? Yes? I heard all of this today, I was, I was, I have to be listening. Listened, Yes, well that everybody listening here is not on the fan, right, Okay, that's practice for the big show, So you warm up with them and then you're coming here. That's right. And I delivered the goods seeing and Everson listened because he wanted to find some some things that he could throw ammunition and get out

his ammunition to fire at. So if be honest is good, that means that Connor mcgovernn is good to go to left guard, yes, because that didn't that work out so well last week. Now. The only the only downside was when the Cowboys were trying to open a roster spot,

and I'm guessing for Xavier Rhodes. They'll see how he practices. Uh, they had to clear a spot and they released Dakota Shepley to try to get him on the practice squad, and the Indianapolis Colts claimed him as a future Do you I bet he was cost him money, not just that you gotta live in Indianapolis, that's just as bad. Yeah, But but yeah, he's on the verge of depending on what the Cowboys do in the postseason. Yeah, getting postseason money.

I mean, even if you're on the practice squad, I think you get something or you get to keep getting paid to be on the practice for What do you think the coach is expecting from him when they sit down and talk to him, like, hey guys, welcome, you know, yeah, you're glad to be here. No, you think the Colts are giving him any sort of a bonus based on how far the Cowboys go in the playoffs, Well they should, They really should, because they know that he's players association

ought to be involved in this. That's why it really should be. He is old right now, you know this shouldn't be allowed. Yeah, y'all should wait till the playoffs are done just because you're done, because you're well. Misery loves companies bags they comes come with us. You can't be so happy a come on a playoff like a playoff team ought to be able to pick him up. But if you're out of the postseason, you know there

should be a waiver claim. It can be secret right where you can put in a waiver claim four twenty twenty three on a player that's gotten waived by playoff team. But if you're a playoff team, you can claim him right now, and and that would supersede the twenty twenty three claim, right, so there would be fourteen teams in the in the claiming. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that's the way they should. Yeah, that's that's I mean, that's terrible for the player because I mean, they know what

he would. They weren't releasing him because he's They just wanted to get him on the practice squad. I don't know if you get extra elevations for the playoffs for your practice squad, guys, I'm not sure how that works, but that could have worked. So now, um, you know they're gonna see the uh Forniac wasn't ready last week to become the backup off of I r uh. They're hoping this week he will be. So we'll see today.

They're gonna be in pads tomorrow. By the way, you'll like to hear that Everson um pads practice for the playoffs, right, Yeah, and then I think they're going to start Lendstrom, who's on I are get him returning to get him start practicing too, so open his twenty one day window. Yeah. So again, you know, if you don't want to do that line dance again at center, you better have a backup center you can trust to just plug in during the game. Um. Yeah, that's they might have learned a

lesson there that didn't work out so well. Well as far as shep as far as no it was a fire, well they didn't. I mean they didn't play whoever was the backup center last week. They moved everybody over right, Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, so, but that gets back to not having a backup center with much experience

in the league, and Farniok was that guy. Even though he didn't have much experience in the league, but at least he was a draft big and he's been around here and he's done it whatever, And it gets back to you just can't have depth, three deep depth at every position. Yeah. Well, plus there's the difference between do you use a backup center or do you go the veterans like we did, Yeah, and shuffle everybody around. So

you gotta look at the lesser of the evils. If Farnia goes in, then we don't have to do the shuffle. That's right. If Farniac was still healthy, and he would have been going in and the government would have stayed and left guard. But once you get down to your third center, now it's a different deal because you want to be doing a lot of playoff shuffling. Super Bowl shot, but you really but you don't want to put in

the third third strength center. Yeah, to start right, that's in the playoffs, especially against that Washington against Duran Payne and that Washington defensive life. If McGovern couldn't have lived, then we know this guy probably couldn't either. So m vander Est should go, Hankins should go, uh and most importantly I think they believed Duran Bland could go, and we may go for the game. We're not talking about just practice yet to see. Uh and then they'll have

to see what they wear. Rhodes is because he could be an elevation off the practice squad. They don't have to put him on the fifty three. Uh So, and that one will be interesting to see just where he's at and you know how much he can learn. Um. Yeah. The problem with all that is it gets complicated because usually when you're second or third backup corner is active, they play special teams. Well, he's probably not going out there and playing special teams for you as a ten

year veteran. Yeah, and well you get you got Kelvin Joseph. You draft, you drafted Kelvin Joseph for that role. Yeah, and he's there and mis Sean Wright can play. Oh yeah yeah. So that's one. So they've got some juggling to by time they get to Sunday before the Monday game. I promise you Joseph is going to He's going to play some good downs if he has to in this game. In this game, if he plays, he's going to play well if he's called to play. So who would you

call to play? Okay, you got Diggs, you got Bland. Let's say Bland's healthy. Who is the third guy depends if I think at this point, if keeping in mind, you got Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on the other day, Alexander, you can put in the slot then then play Bland outside, Bland outside. So no, no nation, right, I wouldn't have a heavy dose of it. No trayvon Mullen. I didn't like. Wait that looked, you know. And one thing for Kelvin Joseph to get beat, because he at least has speed

the catch up or potentially catch up. These other guys we didn't see, no ketchup. I thought they earned the right to be considered for the fairy guy, and he did and they considered it, and he got the interception the previous game. But this last game, you know, you know what you hate. Can we can we look at the last game as an aberration, get rid of this. I mean, if we're looking at it as an aberration

for Dat everybody else with the season. Dan Quinn. Dan Quinn put it this way that these last couple of games he was rolling in combinations to see it was almost like interviews to get ready for the playoffs, because they knew they were in So let me see what my best alternative is. So he gave all these guys a chance. What you didn't like was a couple of times. Uh, and it happened to write and it happened to Mullen. You don't want your cornerback looking like a deer in headlights.

They were like and then they turned and ran right and they didn't make up any ground. So just be aware of I mean, they better be aware of Brady the same thing as Aaron Rodgers. He gets the fifty yard line, what's he doing, I'm going deep? Well, let him have that underneath thing. What happens is if if if he really sees vulnerability out there, then he won't even wait till the fifty yards. Yeah, right, if he

sees that kind of vulnerability. And I just thought that right was, for lack of a better term, he was the lesser of the evils. And I really thought with his with his physicality, because we're going up against some big wide receipts, yeah, and some very good tight ends as well. I think we I think he should be really considered well because he made plays, he'll make play did yeah? And then yeah? And I always say that about cornerbacks, right, you're gonna get beat, but can you

make me a play? Right? And it's it's how you got beat, And that's what you you were saying. He was concerned about that. They had no clue. I mean, they were just looking at It's like, wait, hey, what are you doing. Let's see surprised. Yeah, oh my god, that's throwing the past. Yeah. So I think he I think he really earned with the turnover that he made and with the good players that he made as well in the previous games. I thought I think he kind of earned that way, and I hope he's gonna be

that third guy. But you didn't even consider him. You're talking about guys who are not proven, yeah, that you were gonna throw in, versus a guy who those guys at least played in the league. This is only his second year and he didn't play hardly at all. And I'm not I'm not talking about Rhodes if you're if you're talking about Rods played, he's been in the league, what three four years? Something like that, McKenzie, Alexander the

same thing. Oh, he's been in longer Alexander. Yeah. And then you know, we haven't even seen Show thirty seven. That was that was mumbling, Yeah, so wait, you're gonna you're gonna consider Mulling over right. No, they they rotated them in to see you not. No, I didn't see anything there that I would. I didn't even consider that. I didn't either. Yeah, And that's what I mean. If if if it's a you know, Rhodes to Mullen, I would think, Oh, I would definitely go with the veteran,

especially it's got the better nickname Rhodes closed. I like that when he was with Minnesota and they know something about him because so um Jay Ryan Curse would have played with him. Um, who's the other bar was there? And George Edwards was the defensive coordinator. Kenzie Alexander was there too. You're right, that's the difference. And if once he got left right and he's ten years in the league, Yeah,

this is his sinth season. He's thirty two years old, and I know that he's gotten cut by a couple of teams here and that sometimes with veterans, you just never know what kind of moves they make. But yeah, if you're gonna go with anybody, uh just sight unseen, so speak, I would I would go with you. He's not going to be out there old where am I going? Yeah? He would shot that shocked at anything. Yeah, and then it's just his ability it can he still play exactly?

And that's what they gotta find. Does he does he deal with has he dealt with injuries? I mean, because he's gotten released by a couple of teams I think maybe early this year. I'm trying to remember if it was training camp or not. And if it doesn't, if it doesn't affect his legs, if it doesn't affect his legs in his maneuverability, yeah, I'd go with him a sight unseen, I'd go with him, and just because you know, why would you bring him? And then he'll be slower

because they're playing on grass. So that came up today, by the way, my candle very delicately. Right. Uh yeah, So how did he happl He just said that. Edward Er mentioned that a former head coach I had mentioned that he wasn't going to trash Jason Garrett or anything, but he eventually was like, yeah, sometimes the quickness, Uh, it affects it, um, but there's not anything you prepare for. Yeah, it's just grass. It's grass. Yeah, I've seen I've seen

wide receivers run by the cowboy dbs on grass. Right, So but anyway, I just threw that in um as far, I'm looking at Xavier Rhodes as far as any injury history, and last year he had a calf injury. But other than that, so yeah, man, this guy, this guy's ready. I mean, I think he sees the opportunity. Yeah, he's got to see the opportunity. And that's that's the main thing. I think he would be the guy no brainer to

put out there as the third corner. Yeah, get him ready, m would that would give us a lot of size too, you know. He and Dig's good sized player and the third corner against this team in third quarter and gets this team and he's gonna be out there a lot. Yeah yeah, all right, we continue with more mix shots.

courts out there. I saw a lot of If it's a lawn sand bag like Wimbledon, it would be a grass. Pickleball would be the only way game. Sand Bag tossing. Have you played pickleball at one time? Sand bag tossing? What? Yeah? You know the hole? Yeah? No, that's what they call a corn hole. Yeah, but I thought sand bag make it cuter. Yeah? Have you played pickleball? Everything? That one time? Till last night? We uh my daughters and their husbands and we were looking for a pick They thought they

could just find a pickleball. There's pickleball courts all over the place now, but they are full. Yes, Oh yeah, it's huge. You go to Grand Prairie know and chicken in pickle I think they're opening one in south Lake too. Okay, yeah, but I don't think it's open. It's like a pickleball en it Chicken but they have a pickleball courts, just like you know you go to places and they have the botching courts inside the restaurant. I mean they've got

their building. You haven't seen the full buildings of pickleball. In fact, it's an idea here at the Star in Frisco. You want to bring some young people out here. That's it's And it's the young people that are playing not its not oh no, I'm saying it's not just old people like us. It is young people are playing pickleball. When I played the one time, I was old people and I'm talking. I know it was cut throat. I

didn't know what I was doing and they didn't care. Yeah, we couldn't get off tennis, right, they're gonna pound me. We couldn't tennis. Yeah, there's too many rules there where you can stand where we can't stand. We could us young people couldn't couldn't find a court last night because all the old people were on it. It's like when you went to a you go to a golf course and you're just walking on. And like when I lived in San Antoniosa to a military town and all the

public courses in San Antonio all the retired military. They be on that golf course, especially in a summertime because it's so hot summertime. I you know, whenever the sun's up, and so you you are not getting on a golf course until ten o'clock in the morning. Do you look for these places? I mean pickleball courts are popping up all over the place building so no, no, they're outside.

I mean like wherever you find us. Yeah, tennis courts or athletic fields and stuff that they're they're popping up now and so more communities are now learning how popular the sport's becoming, and they're starting to build pickleball court. The health club where I go, they had two basketball courts and they turn one little basketball court in four pickleball and put down a ball surface. So so the surface is what well we used to be like tired.

It's like a tennis court, but it's a little more um it wouldn't be like a play court you would put in your backyard. Okay, you know, count them. So that's my suggestion, not only here by Tostito's championship plaza or whatever, put some pickleball chords up and people will be coming and like what happens to tennis. The watch party on Monday put the well, when people can't run anymore, they play pickleball. Now, yeah, but no, tennis requires being

in shape. I like tennis, so you have to move, you don't have to It's like like handball, right handball. Let's just picture got a racket though, a racketball instead of screening picture. But it's like tennis with a racquetball racket. There you go, there you go. That's what. Well, it's not a racketball racket because it's a solid Yeah it's not.

Yeah right, it's the racket. Yeah, I see the So just picture half court in basketball and they slice it in half sideways and there's two courts, so there's not that much room to cover. It's not about covering, it's about you know, being able to react real quickly and that run too far. Yeah, I don't have to run. Think he's really good at this sport. I tried playing like a day or two after I played tennis, and I kept swigging it missing the bore's the rest of

my ric. You're like, yeah, yeah, just whip all right, all right, back to you're a legal pad. There's a chock full of information there. So they settled the discussion we had the other day about where they would play the neutral sight game in case that happened between Buffalo and Kansas City, and it looked like they settled down Atlanta. Yeah, don't bring it here. Yeah, no, We're cows are going

to be right. Don't bring it first. I don't want another playoff game in my stadium, especially even if I'm on the road. I don't want another playoff game in my stadium. That's not because, yeah, if the Cowboys are on the road, there's gonna be a watch party. Thank you that our state. Yeah, well we'll business. Well, we're booked up. We're booked up. Unless there's a lot of money involved, then you know how that goes. Um, Tom Brady, yes, I heard about that guy. So you're the cornerback, you're

the defensive coordinator. What are you doing. I'm going to make time work for every past that he torows. I'm going to make sure that we can lay hands on him. I know he loves to get rid of it quickly, but I want I want him to see ghosts, just like Dak was seeing ghosts last week. If you don't get to him then just harass him, just be close. And I know he's a veteran, but that that no one feels comfortable in that position, and we've seen him

in that position a lot this year. He can get rid of the ball all he want, We're still going to at least touch him a little bit, and we have to have tight coverage. I would not play zone against Tom Brady. I don't know what people play against him. I don't know what the book is on him. But if I'm going to play against Tom Brady, I want to make sure that that window was gonna be as tight as possible. You put that together with the fact

that we're going to be putting pressure on him. I want him to throw as many errant passes as possible, and when he does release it, I want I want to question Mark to be in his head. Is this gonna be good for me or not? That's the way how to play Tom Brady, because you know it's gonna become a factor. Now. In the first game, they did a pretty good job, right. They held him to nineteen points in the season opener, four field goals in a touchdown.

Brady himself was eighteen of twenty seven for two hundred and twelve yards through an interception and a touchdown pass, and he was sacked twice persons. And if you look at the last two games, the Cowboys have sacked him three. How many times did they sack him? Would you say? Twice in the opener, okay, and one pick and the previous game they picked him twice. So they had three

picks in the last two games against him. So now I know he put up thirty one in the game the opener in twenty twenty one, and the Cowboys unfortunately left the minute in twenty four seconds more on the clock than they needed to, or a minute in twenty two because he scored with two seconds left, or they did to kick the field goal to win. So yeah, you have to have Brady is blessed to have the defense that he has, Yes, because no matter how things go,

they're going to give him that chance. And what we talked about with situational football, they're going to try and keep him in at least at the most a two score game to where if he can just work his magic for one drive, we will hang off for you and give you one more shot. And that's what their defense does all the time. That's what Nate was talking about yesterday. We talked about team building. You have to build a team that understands where your weaknesses and your

strengths are. And this is where you need to come together and create a situation for yourself. Don't wait for mistakes, create your own mistakes. Like with their defense, they'll stop you on third down at key moments during the ball game. I mean, just when you think you got them, you're moving, you're driving the ball. They always have that third down that's going to either make you kick a field goal,

but they're going to minimize your efforts. You're not going to just drive all the way down to score touchdown on us. That's how they stay in ball games. And that's really how Belichick and Brady have worked together defensively, offensively. Always I'm gonna give you another shot, Tom, and you

just make make good of it. So I think the players are getting tired of hearing seven and oh, by the way, yeah, but if you think about it, you know, and I keep saying this over and over game he hasn't played He's played this team once, right, he's won and old these guys didn't had anything to do with those other games, and if you look at it, so one, two, three, four games of the seven he or the Patriots didn't score more than twenty points. The first time was twelve

to nothing. Quincy Carter was the Cowboys quarterback, by the way, the third game twenty eleven, when the Cowboys finished eight and eight, it was twenty to sixteen. And then if you remember in twenty nineteen when the rainstorm in New England thirteen to nine and their only touchdown was set up by a block punt that they recovered at the Cowboys twelve, and he threw a ten yard touchdown pass. Everything else was field goals in that game. And then

now nineteen to three to open the season. So it's not like he's piled up punt points on it right now, I don't think that's ever. His goal just be goal is just to beat you. Well, and that's what that's what's happened. But these guys had nothing to do with those other games. So yeah, you know, you can sit here and you pointed it out yesterday, Well the Cowboys are two and oh against Tampa Bay in postseason, Well, what do these guys have anything to do? What happened

in nineteen eighty three. Right, yeah, so yeah, and so I thought jay Ron Curse answered the question really well. Yesterday I asked him, I said, so you've played Brady twice here, I said, you ever play him earlier in your career? He goes, yeah, one time in Minnesota and I think they looked it up and it was twenty eighteen and he got beat. So somebody said, well, you haven't beaten you know, Tom Brady. He goes, I bet

you you want badly to beat him. He said, I want badly to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers real bad, real bad. And it's not beating Brady, it's beating that other team too. Right, there's two parts to this thing. So you know they should have beat Brady the first time if there the opener last year, if they don't give up thirty one points, right, they scored twenty nine.

If I'm not mistaken, that was an extremely controversial p I call doing that last drive and that that moved the chains for him doing the crucial part of that drive. I've got that. I'm pretty sure. Look at that drive and you know that that's that's what happens when you choose to go deep. You choose to take chances and you know, get away from the playbook. That's something that we have always had a problem with, sticking to the

playbook and not really stepping outside them. Okay, we're gonna have a special guest when Mick Shots continues in a moment, if Mickey can find the answer to what Everson just posed, yes, trust me, and they is can you find that ten seconds here? Mickey, I do not I do not see unless there's a play missing a the only the only penalty in their drive, and it was eleven plays fifty seven yards, but the last three were incomplete passes on

purpose memory here just throwing the ball ounce. There was a false start on Tampa Bay, so it must have been another drive that they had a Oh, I'm sure you're right. We just haven't on the spur of the moment found the answer to that. All right, Nate Newton is here, and but we're up against the break. Nate, I'm I'm so happy, and so give me a chance to you know, correct Nicky doing the break. Okay, correction time. When we come back on mix shots. 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 of 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 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 subject to ternans, conditions and availability.

I love this time of year, man, your playoff Dude, it's the best time of the year. Man,

he told about Christmas. I like playoffs, playoffs, Yes, sir, I love it. Wow. So what were you two guys? Uh? What did you ask Mickey to trust you about? What? I thought that that was a unnecessary PI penalty during that last drive twenty which you were talking twenty twenty one. Yes, right, yeah, And I didn't find a Internet. I didn't find any one thing. I know. I know Producer Supreme would have found something. He would have said, I know, my man

over there is supposed to be leading the show. He is deep into something, and I was. I was actually trying to find the answer. I know exactly what he's doing. Birthday, your day to birthday. No, No, it's Producer Supreme, Supreme. Oh okay, that's Chris Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I already sent it to him. Man. It's a happy, happy birthday, Chris. All right. I did sign him a picture of a brother.

I love it all right. Thirty years ago, Nate, Yes, Cowboys were going into the playoffs, and it had been a long time since the Cowboys had made a deep run in the playoffs. It was back in ever since days. Yes, okay, what do you remember going into that playoff coming off of very strong regular season? You're playing Philadelphia in the divisional round, and of course after that you went to San Francisco, which was the last road playoff went for this franchise, by the way, and then you won the

Super Bowl. But what do you remember before that Philadelphia game? When Randall Cunningham and the Eagles came into Texas Stadium? Bill, I hated. Disappointing, Not nothing, I can't. All I can remember is the bad plays. If you'd asked me about a bad if I'd had a bad play that game, I'd remember it. Other than that, you remember the Eagles, or you remember what happened when you went to Philadelphia earlier? That left? No, No, that was ninety That was ninety five,

don't do left? Yeah it was nine. That was the last Super Bowl. Well let me help him. Monday Night game at Philadelphia. Yeah, you know, Monday Night in Philadelphia? We lost? Yeah, thirty one seven. That was a Monday night. Monday Night Nights was out. It was big. I remember that game. Then the Eagles a month later came back to Texas Stadium and the Cowboys won that game. You won that game, and so you're going into the playoffs

that year. And we look back now and the Cowboys super Bowl teams of the nineties they handled everybody, you know, but going into that game, I mean, I don't even know what the line was on that game. It was a home game, so the Cowboys were probably favored, but you just Philadelphia was the real deal, as you know, at a defense, all around team. Once again, the NFC East is the beast at the league. I think I just think that, you know, we countered them out, me

included at the beginning of the year. Now seventeen games later, the East is what's happening because if Washington would have just carried one game before our game, they'd played their best one game before our game, we'd have four guys in. But they sacrifice the playoff spot to beat us. So you know, here's why you don't regulation why I don't remember one. It was a dominating win, you know what. I this is the problem I think with our Dallas Cowboys.

When you have media and I'm included that it's always we live we live so big when we win, and how we you know, everything looks like of old and we forgot of Old was a struggle too, and so yeah, we glorified. And then when we lose, you know, everybody say, well, when the old Cowboys played, they'd never had that problem, you know. So we we thanks to Randy Galloway, now we have a picture of every game should be pretty, you know. So Randy Galloway started it. That's an ugly game,

you know what I'm saying. So that's what we that's where we are now, fellas. Let me support you. Second game of the year ninety two beat the Giants thirty four, twenty eight, Yes, sir, Kansas City seventeen ten, Philadelphia twenty to ten, Yes, Sir Phoenix. After getting beat by the Rams twenty seven, twenty three, sixteen ten, right at Denver thirty one, twenty four, Remember you went to Washington, got

beat twenty seventeen. The fumble in the end zone. Yeah, and then you closed it out with two big wins. But there were some close calls. I had a fan, Yes, that was out in Minnesota year. Yeah, beat everybody by one score less. I was our men saying. After that regular season finale against Chicago, what did Jimmy do? He cut Curry k Richards. Yeah, there was a twenty seven to fourteen win over Chicago. He was making sure he

was getting everybody's attention. Curving Richards fumbled late in that game and okay, I think it was at home, right, yeah, and John Madden was calling that game and I was hurt. So Jimmy forced me, hey man, you gotta miss these game. So had you ready for the playoffs? You're not gonna lose your job because he back then you know who you lose your job. So I'm like, okay, So I'm up there. Kole Man said you're not playing. You know you're not saying no, I'm not playing. Well, come up

and I'll let you call some plays. And so I was calling plays in the background and he was like, hey, I got this guy in the booth with me, and he said this plays this man this place. So anyway, and we're curbing fump with that ball. You know, We're like, oh, yeah, he's a good player. Two days later, Curving gone for Christmas. It was like right around on Christmas time and I think it was was he from Uh he was North Texas? No,

wasn't he? Yeah? But no, he had an accent, so he was not out right, I'm America right, so else okay, And I was like, wow, he should get to be with your peace Christmas. It was the game was on the twenty seventh, so it was right after Christmas. It was just he was just setting the tone for the playoffs that the stuff is serious. You know, we might be thirteen and three, but we got the ball. Yeah,

let me in the games thirteen and three. You know, I always thought we were like, went win ten eleven games. I ain't never I don't even remember going there. So y'all want the super Bowl went on that twenty seven So you think you think, uh, a little man Richard for that Super Bowl win? Curvin Richards from the man

from Trinidad. Yeah, from so So he's like that because of me, you guys won, because y'all, he ain't thinking that thinking that Fellas I think I said on y'all show yesterday day before, the only way we lose this game is that our offensive line don't play well. They don't play well. That's the only way we lose any game as far as we're gonna be in trouble. They have to play well. Tyler. I have son messages to Tyler Beardist. I went on the arrow waves every place

I could talk about it. I understand what you say, got to play. But I heard some players say it was good before I go out. Then it got good. They got good and ran over you know what. He was good players get beat. Yeah. So I'm like, man, I'm hoping. I'm hoping Mick is so on because we need for this kid to be you know, wow, Let's look at where he has to go up against. Not just him, Let's what is the entire offensive line have

to go up against. When you're talking about the Tampa Bay playoff team, all they healthy on their defensive line. I think the defense and back they don't. Jack Barrett's out for the year, got hurt earlier in the year. Okay, Devin's white. They love, they like their lifeline. And then this is one of the toughest little, funny built dudes you have looked at that. I looked at the funny built you know, Vante David to the other and then they got this dude six seven, uh number ninety eight

or something like that. He's six seven, Anthony Nelson. He's talking some because we always talk about what they had. Brady and all I've heard is offensive. You know what what unit? What does their unit look like that we are going again, go look at the at the Panthers game and when early in the game when Vita didn't want to move Vita Bell didn't one of you move when he's just like, y'all ain't moving me and bought number forty five number not. They just hit downhill going

down here. Oh man, they didn't get setting for y'alls rushing against that's yeah, that's a rushing team. Yeah, that is a rushing team. They just went for three hundred I think, yeah, the week before and they ain't there. It was minus. It was minus two hundred and twenty six. They finished. They finished h ninth tight for ninth total defense. Yeah, fifteenth against the run and ninth ninth against the past. And that's what the injured. How their turnovers mean? How

how are they turnovers? Well we can look that up too. My team twentieth ten fumbles and ten interceptions. The thing that scares you about this scene, so they're minus they're zero. If thing that scares you about one one on one games, I call him one on one games is who can adjust the quickest? You know who will make it. Who is willing to make the adjustment the quickest. And because it's one on one, it's like three on three. It ain't always you know, the best shooting thrill. It's like

who can make those little adjustments real quick? It's about X factors, Yeah, and that's what I want to know. Who who's gonna be our X factor for the Cowboys, or who's gonna or who's gonna be Bears even No, that's no the X factor for them. It's as they are saying, it's the number eighty three, a little guy. They're bringing out the practice squad. The reason I say Tom Brady, it's Tom Brady. It doesn't matter they were playing horrible all game long. As long as they're within

shouting distance at the end, there's the Brady factor. It's called the seventh and eighth possession. They cannot have it. I'm telling you don't give them a seventh and eighth possession because what it said is you don't did something wrong with your sixth possession And Tom got the ball and he's just looking at you like you know what's for that? I mean shouting range, I mean what you're saying, and you're saying, uh. Darren Woodson last night on cross

Talk said it's about the moments. Yes, the moments. Yes, got to make plays at the moment and we'll see if they're able to do that. Numbers have never meant much to this team. I mean when it said that, it's indicative of how we're playing, but it doesn't necessarily help us win, right, you see, that's it, that's the difference. It's the moments that help us win. I can still see Jimmy on the sideline during practices with his his

his gator clap, going who's gonna make the play? Who's gonna make the play, And that's what it's gonna come within the scheme of the defense that often no doubt, Yeah, no doubt. See that's what they asked. What's the thing with coach Landry and coach Johnson. Coach Landry, you had to worked. I ain't never respect flex me because it

me challenging for me. But what you did your job, if you did your job well, and then you did you did you did with within that dev he pay great play here because he gonna go through these proper steps and did he gonna say great play everybody? But now I would tell you who never did it? Two people? Everson right now? Good, good play Everson? Great? Your footwork could have been better. A Randy? What was you thinking him? Randy? What were you think? I'm like Randy to be sitting.

I'm like, God, these two dudes will never do what coach want him to do. How do they continue to start? Well? And I'll end with this, And I believe it was Butch Johnson's touchdown pass in that Super Bowl. Um. He brought the play in, gave it to Roger and Roger didn't run it right, and and and and he throws the touchdown past the Butch and he said yeah. And Roger starts walking off like the cock of the walk, like y'all I did it, And Landry comes yelling at

what play did you give him? Like I did something wrong? Stop boxes looking waving, Yeah, you got the testdown? Yeah right, that's right, And then he was doing the California quainting. There you go, All right? That does it for mixed shots where it's match up Friday tomorrow, let's talk matchups and right and if you get somebody, yeah it's you don't get it's still up Friday Friday. You know, for that National Championship game, I should have filled up. Remember

I stopped. I should all right, Well, shout at you tomorrow at noon. Go Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
