Mick Shots: Pregame Monday

for some football. It's been so long, it's been so long since we've been together, It's been so long since the Cowboys played a football game, and this is our final opportunity to discuss it before Tuesday night football at M ANDT Bank Stadium in downtown Baltimore. It's the Cowboys and the Ravens, the first Tuesday night football game in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. Build Jones with Everson Walls and Mickey Spagnola inside the s WBC Mortgage Studio

at Ford Center at the Star in Frisco. Everson, how are you doing? First? You know I have been doing just fine. Bill. You talked about the extra time that we had to miss each other. I missed you guys so much. I did some extra research and watch some of your shows in the past, and I must say, guys, I'm so disappointed in comparison to mix shots. You guys look so much better on your other TV shows. I must admit. I mean, Spags is, Spags is dressed in a suit, looked like he's going to mass He looks

so good. He speaks better. You know when you read that, that stuff that you read for us totally different from how you expound on your your your words and things on with Kyle is a Kyle and my and my right? Is it you and Kyle that on the show together. You represent yourself so much better on the show with Kyle than you do with us, And I'm so disappointed. I saw Bill with Nate Newton and Isaiah and uh, your bucket and your hair is combed better on that show.

You know, you come on with us and you look like you just got out of bed there. I mean, you got the bad head thing going. I must admit, guys, y'all just roll the ball out on this show. I'm just you're like, Uh, what's the old coach for Houston Cougars? No, Bill Yeoman? Why am I saying Bill Yeoman? They said they used to complain about it. They said he just threw the ball out there and let Clyde and those

guys do their thing. Now, this guy didn't roll the ball out there on the court, man, I must admit it was yeah, guy Lewis, Yeah, you guys just roll the ball out now, man, I'm like that. This like five slam a jamo on this show. This is a podcast talk show. It's not television. Okay, okay, is that the difference? Let our hair down, that's right. I can just say, screw all of this, all of this cowboy and nice stuff I got on, you know, forget the background.

You know, I could just do anything I see. That's what makes this show so much better. So Mickey, yeah, Bloy, is it there at the Star in Frisco. I guess you're catching a plane for Baltimore's. Oh no, wait, this is the year of the cold. Everybody everybody else is. But yeah, not Usings though. Um yeah, they were supposed to leave. I think Playton was supposed to be wheels up at two o'clock today. So they got in their morning uh practice, whatever you want to call it. It's

more of a walkthrough with helmets on. Um. But they got that in, did it outdoors and nice day and then head to Baltimore and get in about I think six o'clock tonight Eastern time. All right, let's let's turn it around. If Dez Bryant, let's say this was it was a Ravens road game, and the Ravens were about to board their plane to head to Dallas. Would how early would does Bryant be there at the Baltimore Airport

to fly to Dallas? So what time? What time would the chart that's a two o'clock flight to the two o'clock fight? How early would does be there? He'd be there at one fifty nine fifty. Now I think in this case he would be there at twelve fifty nine fifty going to Dallas to play. Normally he'd be one fifty nine fifty. Some things, don't has has dads missed many flights? No, he's always he was like Michael, he's like eighty eight. Yeah, he's like eighty eight. Michael might

hum is to flight. But Dez didn't miss a flight, but he cut it close. So let me let me tell you. Jo Pierson never missed a flight, just so you know, let me tell you a funny story. So when we were heading so it had been about six years ago, about two weeks ago, when we were leaving

for London for the game against Jacksonville. I remember it, and we remember all on the buses ready to go, and we were supposed to be there at Valley Ranch and at Valley Ranch, and at about three fifty nine, Dez's car pulls up and he still got to go in and go through protocols in their security and never and we took off and he got in there about four h two. Right. So that week, my my power cord to my laptop exploded in the room the first time I plugged it in right, wrong electricity or whatever.

So I had to go down to the kind of lobby area where the cowboys set up their offices uh in the hallway to kind of glom off some uh uh some electricity. So we were supposed to leave on the blob off was leaving Fort Journalism Majors only journalism, making I cap okay. The bus was supposed to leave at eleven thirty uh, and I was going to stay in there as long as I could to get as much electricity on into my laptop. And someone calls me on the staff. They're in the bus. It's eleven twenty five,

eleven twenty three, and they go, hey, you're coming. I go yeah, and they go, well, where yet, I said, well, eleven thirty right, and they go yeah, but it's getting close and I and I, very out loud, said on the phone, Hey, I'm on des Bret timelen thir means eleven thirty And just what I said at Jason Garrett came walking by. He started laughing. So that's what Tom Landry talked about. What is that word? Always spoke of bad habits as cancer to the team. And you see

that you caught that das cancer man. He can't do that. You can't do How about this? You know what Mickey said? He just made up a word. I looked up glomb and glomb means to take steel sees or catch, which brings us to Daz and the catch he glombed onto the ball. Right. Hey, I've never heard that a word before. It's a little journalism word. But any hang around with me, all right? Vocabulary, all right? So how much is Dez Bryant in the game plan for Greg Roman and this

Baltimore offense on Tuesday night? Who's playing quarterback Lamar Jackson. Then he'll run, I guarantee you he runs more in the rounds than he does catch footballs. Interesting. Interesting, you know, I don't want to see dads at thirty plus trying to do an end the round, you know, just to put him in the game plan, especially when you had the option of Marquis Hollywood Brown or Devin around, Well, you gotta throw the dads down the scene, you know,

short passes and you talk all this trash. Now we're joking about it, but to me, Daz looks extremely attractive right now as a wide receiver target considering how Lamar has been playing lately. Don't don't, don't, don't don't this Dad's right now. He might be an integral part of this passing game. I think John had been doing jack No, That's what I'm saying, and I think I think he

will be a part of it. And uh, I can just see them using I mean, he had four catches for twenty eight yards a couple of weeks ago against Tennessee and then with RG three and Tracey McSorley at quarterback, two targets in that game. So the last time that he played when Lamar Jackson was the quarterback that target him, he had thirty five snaps in that game and so I think I wouldn't be surprised if Dez is pretty pretty involved in the game plan. Is he gonna be

your pick to click? I haven't. I haven't considered the good questions that that is a very good question, and that now we can we can forget all the bs. Now what are you thinking that, Bill? Come on? Well, first off, we got to know, as Mickey said, we got to know who's playing in the game, and it came out on Sunday that sources said that Lamar Jackson should be starting at quarterback for the Ravens. Mick, you bring us up to speed on what you know as

far as Cowboy availability and Raven availability for this game. Well, I think we knew the Cowboys, Uh, you know availability pretty much. They're obviously going to be without Cam Irving and Zach Martin at the guard position. So we got Brandon Knight and Terence Steele back there at the guard spots. I think the two tackle spots, sorry, the two big questions going in and they're listed as questionable. Uh, Anthony Brown and Donovan Wilson, who did not practice by the way,

all week long. He had a groin injury, so miss practice Friday. And Saturday they're listening as questionable talking Donovan Wilson, so they're probably going to push it to up to game day, but if not. Kind of when they were in their skeleton drills in the practice, we could see Darian Thompson was out there at the other safety spot, and then Anthony Brown actually got into practice on a

limited basis on Friday and Saturday. They're listed to him as questionable, so you know, if he's not ready to go, Rashad Robinson would go at the other cornerback spot, but I would think that maybe Anthony is available for a few snaps. We'll see how how that one goes. In Alden Smith, who had illness the first two days of practice this week Thursday Friday, was full participation on Saturday. There listening to him is questionable, but I would imagine

he's good to go now. As for Baltimore, and we'll know more about all this at three pm today when they have to make the moves off their COVID reserve list, but so far they put Robert Griffin the third on injured reserve. Kalaius Campbell came off, so did Dobbins the un back and mark Ingram and jahad Ward. So those guys are off, but they can make more moves today. So in all over these last couple of days, they activated seven of the seventeen people off that list, but

Lamar Jackson hasn't been activated yet. We'll see if that indeed goes down yet today. Also, by the way, just to keep everything states secret and Mickey, Mickey, Mickey, Mickey, Mickey, Mickey, let me update you. I've got a report on the injury report. Anthony Brown and Donovan Wilson are out for so they they updated just right, yep, yep, um, So

go ahead, go ahead, we can go back to it anyway. Uh, Lamar Jackson's ten days were up on Saturday, so he was eligible to practice on Sunday, but because of thirteen mile an hour wind in the Baltimore area, John Harbaugh moved practice indoors and meaning when it goes indoors, there's no independent media there to watch. So he did not say if Lamar Jackson was going to practice or not. He would have been eligible and then could have done a walk through today. So they're keeping that a secret.

As if the Cowboys wouldn't prepare for this game with the idea that Lamar Jackson's gonna play and then oh, by the way, if he doesn't, Oh what are they gonna do? Trace mcsorley's in there. Heck, here's what they're gonna do. They're gonna run the ball against the Cowboys and run it and run it and run it and so so kind of that's where they're at right now. And yeah, those guys didn't, Like I said, Donovan Wilson didn't participate in any of those practices that we were

able to see. Anthony Brown was at least out there, but unfortunately it looks like he's not gonna make it then, Bill, and that really hurts the secondary, especially the depth. Yea Burton and Rashauran Robinson called up from the practice score And that's what I worry about. We're always talking about continuity in regards to different units, you know, not just the Cowboys defense, but the secondary itself. You want a little continuity when it comes to that entire unit in

order for us to make a move. I think that's important. So having Donovan Wilson out, you know, I had started to really this guy started to really grow on me in regards to his timely hits in regards to the attitude that he brought to this defense. You look for your front four to do that, and he has been able to do that from the secondary and you have to give him a really a lot of props for that.

But when it comes to these protocols, though, you know the coaches and the teams, they're also you know, dedicated to making sure things are done right. But then on the other hand, and all you see with a protocol is just an opportunity for a loophole when it comes to these coaches, I think that is just so funny how we're so concerned about COVID and the protocols that have to go through and how it's going to damage your team. Coaches always looking for loopholes. That's something that's

never going to change. And you know what, here're the other moves that the mickey here the other moves that Cowboys have announced. Zack Martin has been placed on injured reserve, so he is out the next three games at least, So that would be Baltimore, Cincinnati, and San Francisco. Stephen Parker as well placed on I are safety and number forty, the guy that we just got to know his name yep, that's right, Yep, yep. So so, but they don't do

anything with Cam Irving. And that's what Mike McCarthy had indicated that Irving's injury wasn't going to be as long as Zack Martin. And then I guess they didn't. They didn't say if they're moving those guys off the practice squad onto the active list. Yes, they did. They did. They said that Redman, Deante Burton, and Richard Robin Center are moved up from the practice Did they already moved to Maybe they moved Redmond to the fifty three already.

I think maybe so, yeah, because those are the in In fact, this is from Dallas Cowboys public Relations Twitter just seconds ago. Well, the moves and one other thing on on Baltimore. They're gonna they are gonna be without their leading receiver, the tight end Mark Andrews. Uh. He had been on COVID nineteen and had you know, and and he's uh diabetic and so there's more complications there.

They got to be careful with him. They'll also be without wide receiver Willie Snead and linebacker um Matthew Juden. So those guys, definitely that's a big boy. So anyway, there we are up to date on who is and who isn't playing except for long So that means that means yeah, that that means if they're calling saying that those guys are out, the other twenty guys are in that we're on COVID reserve, which in Claius Campbell's included in that mix. Brandon Williams on that defensive line. The

running backs are already activated JK. Dobbins Uh back so Bill Brandon Williams um he is listed as doubtful on this injury report. Practice all week, so we'll see where that one goes. Uh. And they had one more doubtful. It was a backup, Broderick Washington. He was in concussion protocol. Uh, he didn't practice all week. Uh. And then the other guys that they had listed that were starters, both safeties Chuck Clark to Sean Elliott. Clark was did not practice

all week. He's questionable. Elliott got back in full the last two days, but they still listed him as questionable. And then offensive lineman DJ Fluker I believe he missed the last game with an ankle. They've listed him as questionable. And then I mentioned Brandon Williams as questionable. Traymond Williams, the cornerback, is the one that's doubtful. Sorry, got my Williams missed up Okay, okay, and they just picked him up late in the season He should have played in

a couple of games so far. All right, we're just getting started here on Mick Shots. It's a I guess we talk about the NFC East and what this game means as far as that race now after what we saw on Sunday, and it's a even got to be a larger game for the Baltimore Ravens as well, who really need about the entire NFL.

Here you go, got one for you. No, no, it's the individual that delivers. I don't remember the older guy's name, but back in the day, he said he called the file and he

said he was giving him the business. Remember that was they didn't even I don't even know if that's in the rule book, but it was giving them the business like it was a three Snooges move or something. I don't know. Huh. That wasn't read cashing, wasn't. I don't know who it was. It was about fifteen years ago, maybe, remember, I got to look it up and say absolutely, Hey, well I told you guys, I try to forget how

old I am. So yeah, you gotta correct me. I get I guarantee that we can find it real quick here. All right, let's talk were you that would have only been two thousand and five, all right, right, I think it was before the turn of the century. Thanks bag. So how surprised were you guys that the Giants went into Seattle and got a victory with Colt McCoy at quarterback, and they now are in command of the NFC East. You know what, I don't know the Seattle wanted to

play that game that they were just awful. Their offensive line was awful, their defensive line was awful. But check this out, and this is just what I was emphasizing last week. I don't care how many problems you're having on offense. I don't care how many offensive linemen you're missing. I don't care if you're playing your backup quarterback. That doesn't mean your defense has got a cave. They only gave up twelve points to Seattle at home with Russell

Wilson at quarterback. They only gave up two hundred and ninety yards on offense. And they and I mean the Giants only gained two hundred ninety yards on offense. They only threw for a net of one hundred yards with a backup quarterback all right, going thirteen of twenty two, one interception for one hundred and five yards only along of twenty two and a quarterback rating of sixty seven point four. And they won. They won because of their defense.

They sacked Wilson five times, they hit them ten times. They had seven passes defense, seven tackles for losses in two takeaways. So we've been talking all about what the Cowboys are missing on offense, backup quarterback, backup offensive tackles. The defense has got to step up if they're gonna survive this. And the Giants survived because of their defense, not what they did offensively. All they scored was seventeen points, but because of what happened defensively, Yeah, I gotta say

s bags I call. I kind of called this one last week before we went off. I was saying, watch out. We were talking about the red Skins and how impressed we were with their front line, and I told you, guy, watch out for the Giants. We weren't even talking about Philly. When Bill and I were going through all of optimistic moments about the Cowboys chances with The last thing I talked about was bringing up the New York Giants defense.

Good cornerbacks, good safeties, aggressive game plan. They seem to be playing very well together as a unit, just like the Redskins did against us. And on top of that, guys, you have to look at the Seahawks. The Seahawks and boy, this just gets on my nerves. I'm like Jeane Staller, this just chaps my ass, as he says, when when we just all of a sudden, we want to give Russell Wilson so much credit early in the season. This

happens every year. Russell Wilson's more than a decent quarterback, but we always want to throw all of these superlatives on them early on and It kind of makes makes me mad because it's all that the at the behest to Dad Prescott playing well those particular times Seattle. In the last five games, they should be owing five. They should be owing five. They started off so strong. Everyone's giving them the Super Bowl already. This team has their flaws,

and the Giants took advantage of them. Everything you said facts about the Giants defense so true, about any team, so true. I don't care what your offense is doing, and I said it last week. Defense can keep you in any ball game. I said it. Watch out for those New York Giants because their defense is bawling. I wish the Cowboys could have that same attitude because they I think, I still think that they have the talent to do it. They just don't need to give up

on their players. That's what I feel, and you know what I feel the same way. You look at the rest of the results in the NFL. Seven teams one Sunday giving up no more than twenty points, and six of those gave up no more than sixteen. The great New Orleans Saints right twenty one sixteen, they win. You know, if you don't give up a heck of a lot of points. You got a chance to look at the Pittsburgh Steelers games, Fags. Yes, how that defense had to save them in that game, and it still was close,

and that defense still looked ugly. The other team still had a chance to win. But you, your defense has to be the stabilizer for all of your mistakes. And look at what Kansas City great exam. Kansas City only scored twenty two points, but they only gave up sixteen, right, yea, the great Patrick needs help just like anybody else. So you played defense. And the same thing with Green Bay. That was a twenty three sixteen game until they broke the long run at the end, but they held Philadelphia

to sixteen points. So again, if you can hold the team to a reasonable bound of points, some Colt McCoy might come in and win his first game since twenty thank you eighteen beating the Cowboys, thank you, thank you hey, Mickey. Yes, the greatest, the great example from the Cowboys passed on. That was the playoff game against the Giants in two thousand and seven when the Cowboys come in at thirteen

and three eighteen. And all the Giants did in that game is they just kept it close all the way to the end, and then they wanted in the end. And what that defense does, it helps you. It holds on until the other team, the gunna make a mistake. The Cowboys. The Cowboys had more firepower on that offense than what the Giants had, but the Cowboys couldn't put them away. And so the Giants were right there at the end. And what they do, They ran that philosophy

all the way to a Super Bowl title. I think if if you go back years from now, we'll go back and look at Bill Belichick this twenty years and we talk all about Tom Brady having the greatest quarterback whatever. But one of the keys, a huge key for the Patriots over this time, is just staying in games. And as you mentioned, the perfect examples Kansas City last night where okay, they're playing a Denver team that has no business to be playing them, a close game all the

way to the end like that. They got all the firepower in the world, but Kansas City kept it. It wasn't their their night offensively, and they kept it right there and they wound up winning the game. Even when you got great offenses, if you can have that attitude where you're not giving the game away, which is the biggest problem that I had with what happened on Thanksgiving Day in a twenty to sixteen game, and you're calling a fake punt from your own twenty four yard line

on fourth and ten Washington. Washington doesn't have that kind of offense. They're gonna make some mistakes, and so just play the game out. Let the game come to you. I remember, Bill, as you talk about, as we talked about that Giants team, I think they were nine and seven that year, beat the Cowboys, went on to they had to play Green Bay following the Cowboys game. If I'm not mistaken, in Green Bay, and once again they did the same thing that you talked about, kept it close,

kept it close. And I remember sitting watching that game with one of my best friends, and all he kept saying, I think he had money on the game because he was really excited. But at all he kept saying was Brett Farve is going to make a mistake, which you know he's human. Breath farb was always known for being

a gambler making those mistakes. And the Giants stayed strong, defensively, strong, defensively, strong, defensively, sure enough, Breath far throws that pick I think it was in the third quarter, and it just changed It just changed everything. And at that point you knew that the Giants had a chance to win that game with that nine and seven record. And really, Mackey, we don't give enough credit to the Cowboys Super Bowl teams of the nineties for playing good defense and keeping them and

not letting a game get away from them. The only game that got away from them was the game they lost in San Francisco. But that wasn't a product of the defense. It was three turnovers in the first five minutes of the game and falling behind twenty one another. Yeah, and everybody forgets how good that defense was. I think the one year they were like top three one in the league, number one, yeah, exactly. So yeah, but you know that's that's that's where this whole thing fell apart.

It was because they couldn't play defense. They and it wasn't just the personnel, it was how they used the personnel. We talked about it last time we were together on that Thursday, about you know, not trying to not trying to use three linebackers when you know teams were gonna run. And by the way, so on Friday. We got a quorum on that too, by the way, because Nate Newton

and Brad Sham definitely agreed with us. As a matter of fact, Brad brought that up all by himself, talking about how teams go heavy and the Cowboys are still playing their nickel defense and you know that. And another thing about that game with the Giants, did you see how successful they were when boring Jason Garrett lined up with three tight ends in the running game, and they ran the ball and they ran for touchdowns with Alfred Morris. With Alfred Morris, who, oh my god, tired right, So

I did too. He was retired. They picked him up off the car, right. But but yeah, so you go three go heavy with three tight ends. There's nothing wrong with running the ball. And he would get criticized, Well, everybody knows what you're gonna do. Okay, fine, we'll see if they can stop you. And the defense was if you have that a company with a good defense, anything that you do, if you just stick to the plan. I got my Super Bowl ring based on that philosophy.

So it's nothing I've heard. This is something that I know. We were the most boring team to watch play because we were solid in our running game and we just played defense. Dan Marino comes to the Meadowlands, they thought they were gonna see fireworks. It was a yawner. I think they may have scored a field goal in nineteen ninety. It was the easiest game I've ever played against one of the most dangerous quarterbacks I've ever seen in my life. So defense is what it's all about. And I don't

care what you say. The Cowboys philosophy over since Jerry's gotten a team, it has never been to invest in defense. Aside from Charles Haley and Dion Sanders, that defense was a pretty much a no name defense before they had arrived. And so for the Cowboys to play that well behind that defense and the philosophy is to pay offensive players. Cowboys philosophy is not to pay defensive players at that time in the nineties, and yet they still, as you guys pointed out, had one of the best defenses in

the league. So Everson before before we go to break Everson. So when you won the NFC title game at San Francisco in ninety what was the score. I think it was like thirteen. No, we we had a it was fifteen and then we Ki Matt Ball kicked five field goal And then what did you win the Super Bowl? What was the score of the Super Bowl? We were the only team to keep Buffalo under twenty points that season,

nineteen to twenty was a final score. Yep. And by the way, the Giants, isn't that why on the show? I thought that was why I was on the show. And by the way, the Giants now come home to host an Arizona team that all of a sudden has lost three in a row and four of their last five games. That Cardinals team that was the flavor of the map in October is no longer the flavor of the flavor changes all the time, Bill, the flavors change in Seattle. Then all of a sudden, you got the

heat from Arizona. Everybody's down on Pittsburgh now Kansas City, all of a sudden, bless this season plays out in this lowly NFC East now as has a team that went to beat a division leader in Seattle this weekend. And don't forget last month the Cowboys with Garrett Gilbert were throwing for the end zone to beat the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. So maybe all Hope is not lost for this at FC East and the Cowboys can go into

Baltimore on Tuesday night and win a game. And don't forget Minnesota, right, they've won, They've won five of their last six. And who did they lose to the Cowboys? Hey? Hey, Alice Cowboy? Hey all right, Hope springs eternal And we continue with more mix shots with our picks to click. And by the way, I've got the referees name, who was giving ever the business?

The referee's name was Ben Dryth and Ben Dryth the while calling Jets defensive lineman Marty Lions for unnecessary roughness on Bill's quarterback, Jim Kelly, Dryth said he was giving him the business. So there are you giving them the business? All right? Future Hall of

Famer getting the business under the under the pile. That's right, all right? So who's gonna be given the most business on Tuesday night as the Cowboys take on the ravenst what are you thinking it won't beat Greg Williams? That's right. Greg Williams fired today as defensive coordinator of the New York Jets, which it appeared that he was trying to get premptive strike. That was his own pre emptive strike. He knew he was out of there after the season.

He just want blit. Do you think twice twice Bill twice twice all out blitz. They just overthrew him the first time. Do you think he took the fall for the team tanking like They told him, we're gonna lose this and you're not gonna be back next year. So why don't you just call this goofy defense and see if we can lose this game. Oh my god, the guys try so hard then you want to give it up. Come on, man, it makes no sense anyway. Anyway, I don't want to get into that's crazy. Only my pick

the click bill. Yeah, I wouldn't not playing him anyway. I'm looking at how everyone's giving Peters so much credit here and Jalen Ramsey. Look at these guys both on very dogged defensive backs, but very vulnerable. As far as I'm concerned, our white receivers have never feared any good defensive back. I think Gilmore was the only one that's really been successful against any of our Corps receivers on a consistent basis. I believe they're gonna put Peters on Cooper.

I truly believe that, and that I think that gives Gallop a chance to really make some big plays. We're gonna be running the ball a lot, I do believe, if we're smart, but I think Gallup is going to be the difference maker in the ball game. Hopefully we can defensively keep it close enough to where a big play to gallop will be the difference in the ball game. My score, you know me? Best case scenario, Dallas Cowboys

twenty four to fourteen. I think Lamar Jackson is going to be extremely rusty, and if we're smart, we're gonna stack that line on them and dare him to complete a pass on us with his tight end out as well. Come on, we have to take advantage of all of those situations. Twenty four to fourteen, Cowboys only giving up fourteen points on the road at Baltimore. Mickey, what are you thinking? They don't have a tight end and listed behind Mark Andrews. They have another tight end on the roster.

It might be def Bryant, by the way, it might be. It might be. Well, they signed Luke Wilson. They signed Luke Wilson, and they last gay had Eric Tomlinson as well and a Sean Cooking. Oh okay, well, they will not let Luke Wilson retire. Huh, they will not let him retire. He's gonna always be called on by someone in the AC So I'm obligated to pick him to lose. Since they haven't won two in a row. Uh, something like, Uh, I'm gonna go twenty three twenty. They're gonna be a

lot of field goals in this game. And Mike pick to Clay had a pretty good kicker on their side. Yeah. And my pick to click for the Cowboys that's gonna keep this close is gonna be Layton vander esh because of what Everson said about them going heavy on their running game, and I think Layton can make a difference in the middle of that defense. He has fun. Okay,

you said at the beginning of the show. I think it was Everson who thought that my pick to click is gonna be this Dez Bryant character on the Baltimore side. And so now it's time for my pick to click, and I'm gonna go with number eighty eight. That's right, number eighty eight us. He's got a lot to prove, he's got a lot to bounce back from. And so I'm saying number eight drop Lamb my pick to click,

ce d Lamb. After dropping a pass last week, touchdown pass, You're getting predicted out a lot to prove and you like my pick, Mickey, I knew where you were going. My predictions are so predictable, and I'm going with the Cowboys to win this game. You said that the Ravens got a pretty good field goal kicker, Justin Tucker, all right, and Everson said the score of a Super Bowl win

was twenty to nineteen back thirty years ago. It's a Cowboy win twenty to nineteen over Justin Tucker and the Ravens cdee Lamb with the game winning two point conversion to win the game two point conversion conversion or if that comes into play, Hey, if that comes last play, Bill, I promise you, man, you're gonna get a nice present from me if you if last all comes into play, you play the game special. Last play of the game. McCarthy is gonna go for two and the win, and

it's gonna be a two point conversion. I having decided, not impressed at all, having to sided whether CV is gonna cast the pass or throw the pass for the winning two point conversion. I think it's probably gonna throw it. This is why, this is why Bill doesn't have to play fantasy football. You know, all right, I think that does it. We've we've previewed the game. There you go, so we're back. We're back on Wednesday. Well, we'll wrap up the game absolutely. That's try Wednesday, all right, George

coming up. Y'all get rested up, all right. We'll see you on Wednesday after a Cowboys win in Baltimore on Tuesday night. CLA go Cowboys, baby, we win in this one. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
