Mick Shots: Shots Galore

and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is Mick Shot, screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, and Nicky Spagnola and time for a throwback Thursday edition of mix Shots inside the s WBC podcast studio here at the Star in Frisco, as the Dallas Cowboys are on the practice field as we speak, We're going to throw it back to the starting quarterback to start on

Sunday against the Detroit Lions, and Mickey. We've got other things we'll throwback over the course of the next forty five Absolutely, maybe when we begin the second segment and actually show what we were talking about yesterday with Rob Phillips's all right, take you back in time, and it will be not only Rob Phillips back in the day, but Tony Romo back in the day also before he became the Cowboys starting quarterback. And along with that, there's a clip in this show that we were doing of

Dan Camp. We gotta get to we gotta get to the critical stuff because everybody out there is waiting with bated breath for Dak Prescott to come running out for a practice in pads and when I bad breath, yeah, anxious, anxious, yeah, anticipatory breath. Okay, I got you know, the TV guys have got to get that shot of him running out right, and he hadn't yet done it because because they're doing quarterback school inside doors. So the offensive linemen came out

and this was funny. So they're coming out and they're kind of two by two and the cameramen are basically blocking the field. They got in single file and found a hole and all ten of them Will ran right through this little crevice between the cameras. I was like, where are they gonna go? And they did it single file and the cameramen didn't move and they didn't avoid him. It's like, this is our practice field. We're going straight ahead. So now they were trying to anticipate where the quarterbacks

were going to go when they came running out. I would imagine by now they've probably done it. But this is practice, right, this is practice. There was no music play running out for practice. I would call, you know, well, they already laboring the point, They already warmed up inside like the quarterback school, and then they come out because they're not a part of special teams. Basically at that point or stretching, they stretched themselves. I just wanted to do.

Does Bill have something to tell us today about your elevator ride down here? Oh I got a feeling. I know what it was. Yeah, talked there was nobody on the elevatorlev No, no, liar, he's liar. Well there are four elevators, yeah, and they can all go down at the same time. Yeah, I know, but this is too much of a coincidence. Well you were we walked out at the same time. Yeah, yes, we weren't. We didn't walk out of the elevator. We walked out of the

not wasn't the same elevator, but we walked. I saw him as I got off the elevator, and well, what you need to understand, Everson, when you own the building, there's a special parking spot underneath where So that didn't just walk out, That's right, So I just walked out my special parking spots, right. No, he's talking about Jerry and I Jerry, And wasn't just Jerry. It was Jerry. That was That was a security detail. I thought that was your security detail. Yeah, so I've got secrets to tell. Yeah,

secrets not to tell. He asked all the questions, did not elevator right, he did not invite me out on the practice. Where did you see us? Where were you? Well, you were coming out of my way. You were coming out Jerry walked on the field and then you came around the corner right behind. I saw you play, I saw you entering the Everson gets his workout walking down. All right, Well, sorry, I got no stories to tell.

Nothing good, right, No, no, all right. So so dek Prescott expected to take the first team reps in padded practice today, So that'll be the first time since the Thursday before the season opener. And I think that's what maybe you know you can do all the time. I mean, you can jump in on this, Everson, but you can do all the throwing you want as a quarterback, but you gotta get under center and actually run plays and not throw to basically against air with wide receivers running

routes for you. It's the closest he's gonna get right to real competition until the real competitional Sunday. Yeah, you want to see where the dB is gonna be you know, there's the picture to come out yet. There it is. Dak has run out on the practice field. Now, this update from the practice field in Fresco, Texas is a regular Dak Prescott has left the building and entered the field, and he has a football tucked under his left arm.

A So what's on his right thumb? Sure it's that blow up as plecture here he can't see in this particular picture tweeted out by John Machoda, you cannot see the right thumb. But there'll be some black tape on it. Okay, we'll take home for it. And it just goes around where the fracture occurred, and then it goes through the lower part of his hand around his forefinger. Everson, take a close look there. What does that look like? Does that look like a little a little tape, A little

seems like this a little security tape? Yeah, okay, that's all it is, all right. And it was forty passages for him after the walkthrough yesterday, Yes, maybe fifty today. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. You want to get that throwing motion back together again, muscle memory, right, And that's what he did before the game on Sunday. They estimated fifty passages and I approved that he was ready to go, they asked me. Also out on the field

was Dalton Schultz. They listed him as a full participant yesterday his walk through practice. I think he was anticipating, yeah, yesterday, okay, and they were anticipating him to be full go today. I noticed that he was practicing with the brace on his right knee. I think he had taken it off.

I remember they said, oh, he felt more comfortable without the brace, and now for practice, he's got it back on sou And he was out there during the early drills, so he wasn't like rehabbing on the side or anything the way Michael Gallop and Ezekiel Elliott always warm up now every day working on the And he was also add that he was on the jugs machine long after practice was over yesterday. Yes, okay, that's a good windows. He's prepping any better because them young dudes are coming

on better watch out. And also James Washington was out on the Resistance Chords doing his rehab so in semi fijoko. Now I know it's a shoulder, but I saw him running. He was running sprints. Oh and I got your answer about injured reserve returns. You do get three weeks ramp up if you need them or they want you to have them, but you don't get those other two that we were talking about afterwards. Okay, they did away with that.

So so James Washington Wednes they designate you ir return, then your three week window starts, just like NFI and PUP and his is not started yet. And his has not started yet. But daman Clark started two weeks ago, right, so this his will go through third game, right, and they get through next week because I think they started his on a Wednesday, So right, you go Wednesday to Wednesday. Yea, it was Wednesday, October fifth is when he started. So so that's enough we can we see in all likelihood?

Then consider daman Clark probably will be active for the Chicago game, that's the possibility, or on the fifty three man roster, right, and you don't I mean you can put him on the roster right play right, But then he would have and here's the good thing, you would play a game if it worked that way, and then you got two weeks to recover, because you know how you feel you're not playing football for so long and you go out there and get banged around your body

like you're in the car. I guess the idea that maybe they do some of this stuff by design, that they decide that they look at the calendar and they say, okay, let's start his three week windows so he could play in that Chicago game, and there's some method to the madness. And then you get a week bye. There's only I think one practice that week because they have to let him have Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the bye. We have more rules ever since. I've got to see

this guy play. Yes, guys are really talking well about this kid, and I haven't seen him play. Yeah, I've seen him at highlights from college all. I've seen him play at LSU. I mean not on the field, but on TV. And yeah, Mickey said the same thing about Michael Parsons. Yeah he was smart, Williams got and I'm still the same about him too. I can pick those first rounders. Yeah, no, I don't know about getting the

fourth round. But no, no, no, no, you missed the first rounder this this time around, I must So let's let's just remember that you didn't. You didn't pick this first run. I didn't pick him, but I picked a tackle. See he keeps, he keeps. You kept saying we need a card. She didn't put a name with that. No, I had no idea who he was yet pick. How do you how do you feel about that first round pick? Now? Six games think career? It was a very good job

that they drafted a tackle of. Can you imagine where this team would be if they had not made that first round draft pick and Tyrn Smith got hurt? Oh, who would be playing left tackle? If um if Tyrant if if they had not made that pick. Because the next tackle that went in the draft was the guy at Indianapolis who was brutal last week, Raymond Raymond. However, you didn't like him right, and he went in the

third round. Okay, but they might not Martin. They might not if vac Martin, either either Zach Martin or Josh Ball or it would have been a veteran free agent out there swing tackle, a Tye Insecky type. Now they would who By the way, this is how things are going in Los Angeles with the Rams right now. They haven't signed him. Insecky last week signed the practice. You saw how bad things were with Indianapolis in that Thursday night game against Denver, Okay, with playing their rookie tackle.

Well after that, they signed Insecki to their practice squad. Okay, they this weekend Joseph note Boom, the left tackle for the Rams, went down with an achilles injury. And did you see who the Rams signed off the Colts practice squad? Yes, no way, yes, Tie Insecki is now a member of the Los Angeles Rams. They would have and he's got to be on their roster for three weeks. They would have signed him off their practice squad, so he's going right to the fifty three. They would have signed Jason

Peters sooner. Yeah, there you go. We were yeah, yeah, but still we would that would have been the option. We still would have been looking at, uh what it's uh Connor Connor McGovern. Conor McGovern would probably move over to the other guard, right, and then you have Forny would come in and play. No, no, no, they would have had they would have been doing what they did

in the preseason. They worked. They didn't work Tyler Smith that left tackled during the preseason, as you know, and so and then he was at guard, right, So there would have been Uh, there probably would have been another guard that they drafted or something. I don't know who was next on their board. They would have drafted an offensive linement of some sort. I think they would have done it before well let's go, well, they would have been very interesting to see. Yeah. Um, they would have

had to have done something. They would However, the board was dry. I mean, there were so many tackles that went in the first round. That's why I'm saying we could have worked with what we have in house. McGregor moves over. But Mickey's right that Jason Peters would have been signed to play anyway ready, But you would have you would have signed him when did when you might

have signed and got hurt. You might have signed him her before the first game, right, So you signed him then this is he was in basically when they signed season, right, I mean they signed him when after tiring got hurt. It was right after training camp. Here he would have been he would have been injured because he wasn't ready, So you would have had to go yeah, right at guard at gard Yeah, y not tackle. No. No, I wasn't mentioning that. No point of all. This jack board

would be a tad tackle, Zach would be right. The point of all this is that Tyler Smith was drafted to eventually be the left tackle. Right. They didn't realize venture, hoping that it would not be his rookie year. And there he was thrown in right off the right off the bat, and I think he's done admirably. Yeah. And one other note from practice. The NFL medical checkup guy is back again making sure the guys on IR aren't practicing.

Oh okay, a matter of fact, I saw him. He went up to Semi Fijoko and made him sign something like, this is your injury that's reported, you have to clarify it. He signed something for it. Well be his injury occurred in practice. Yeah, and so there wasn't an obvious injury. There wasn't an injury in a game, so you can

understand why. Well they could look at practice video. By the way, how do you think these guys get fine for too much contact and they have to actually send them down here he's come every everything can be done, you know, No, they come digitally, they come and actually, so this is the second time in like three weeks he's been here. Yeah, by the way, but they just making sure you're not jacking around with the ir list. Before we go to break on the subject of Tyler Smith.

Pretty interesting little matchup for him this week against another rookie first round draft pick, Aiden Hutchinson. Yes, yes, yeah, so now they Hutchinson, they move him sometimes he rushes from the right side, sometimes from the left side, so they find the soft spot that put him. That's one place to look. And that's kind of guy. Yeah. Yeah, Dan Campbell too, Yeah, and Aaron Glenn. I knew he was like huge, you know, he had to be huge in high school. He did you see that? It's Frankenstein. Yes,

he had guys they were like as him. That must have been the sixth man one before he transferred to What was it? What did you see? It was ABC? I think they had a film of his of his high school coach and or his mom and dad and yeah, mom and dad, high school. Yeah, but yeah, he looked, goodness, he was huge, jolly green giant. And they showed the guy that they interviewed he was on the team, and I'm going that guy played he came to his rib cage. Yeah.

It's tells you that Sunday Night was the most watch game on NBC

And I don't mean noon games. I mean it doesn't matter who they're playing. The Cowboys are playing the other way. It is all right, So are we gonna do you know, set this up? Are we gonna do it now? We're gonna do it next segment. Let's do it now. I

think Chris has it set up. So Mickey off the Top talked about we said farewell to Rob Phillips yesterday, and we were talking about where Rob Phillips got his start to Dallas Cowboys dot com and it was a part of the original Talking Cowboys crew back in two thousand and four or five. Uh, and this clip is from training camp two thousand and five and ax card right, yeah, and uh it is a young Tony Romo and a younger Mickey Spagnol, younger Rob Phillips as well. So let's

take a look and a listen. We go to Rob Phillips and we can get an email for uh Tony Romo here on Talking Cowboys, Rob. Pretty simple email for Tony from Dennis Truck and Amarilla, Texas. He wants to know Tony if something happened to Drew bledsoe, do you think you're far enough along in your progression that you're ready to take over and be the guy? All right?

What was the answer? Oh? Absolutely? At the kids table, he was off to the side here we got that, yeah, and it was only big enough, I think for three people. But even when we did it through the whole two Rob, yeah, status to sit at the big table. He had a table to the side and it was it was just like an end table, right, It was a small and he was towering over it. And so I want to say, at one point at Valley Ranch and the little TV

studio makeshift closet, a TV studio at Valley Ranch. I want to say there was an actual school desk, yes, but he said it it was the equivalent. Yes, it wasn't. No, it wasn't equivalent. It was a school desk. It was like a school desk, like one of those that you sat in in third grade, like that you had to sideways in. Right, You guys had a sponsor because I saw a Bank of America on his on his shirt. Oh well then maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a

rotating sponsor. Rotating sponsor, which still happens to this Okay, all right, all right, as we look over our shoulder here in the SWBC podcast studio, that's not bad video from eighteen years it was five seventeen, seventeen years ago. Yeah, that's pretty good. We did have and I've got it somewhere. We interviewed Kevin Costner. Yes, we did at camp one year and he was obviously it was great. But when we talked on and on, I mean it was a

fifteen twenty minute interview with Costner. So he was just out there watching the cowbell Thanks Cowboy fan. He was out there throwing the ball along. Yeah. I believe at the time Jerry was staying at his house like he rented out your rights. You're Santa Barbara. Yeah, that's right. Okay, So anyway, and we'll have another clip when we start talking about Dan Campbell by the way, okay, all right,

we look forward to that. When do you want to start talking about Dan Campbell, Well, I have the cliff Cliff Chris. We were going to remind you that Dan Campbell played for Bill Parcels here for a couple of years, right, uh,

and uh, we've got a clip of him. So that was that same day in training camp and we were interviewed the former Cowboys strength and conditioning coach, Joe Jurassic, and he was talking about guys rehabbing and Dan Campbell had appendicitis surgery before the start of training camp, and so he was working to the side, and we thought it would be kind of neat to see what Dan Campbell the football player looked like as opposed to Dan Campbell, the clean cut head coach of the Detroit Lions. Stuff.

I want to ask you about Dan Campbell. He's coming along. Of course, he had the appendix removed. Unfortunately it was just a scope job and then they didn't have to do the major, major surgery on it. But he's already out here. You're working with him on a daily basis. He's in there doing squats, as as Parcel said, in the weight room, and he's really coming along, isn't it. Sure.

That's one of the things that goes along with offseason conditioning, and what happens is you can't prevent all injuries and then you get something a little bit off the wall like the appendicitis that he gets, but conditioned after who goes into a surgery can get back on the field a lot quicker than someone who wasn't conditioned. So who is that guy? Joe Jurassic Yeah, yeah, he would. He would make sure he had a shaved head every time they started training camp. Yeah. Okay, So how how tall

is dan Is Campbell? I want to say six four. He looks taller than that. Yeah. I think it's because he's big and tall. Yeah yeah, and there's nothing small about him at all. I think he was that big at high school. High school, his shoulder pads were huge. I mean his feet were huge. Listed at six five two sixty five, that's big, so you know, and one of the reasons Bill had him on the team was the fact that he was a good locker room guy and he was kind of one of Bill's guys. You

know how Bill was big on his guys. Richie Anderson brought in guys that and he wanted them to set the tone in the locker room for him that he didn't have to go in there and do it. And that was Dan Campbell. And I don't think it's any surprise. I bet to Build Parcels that he has risen to the head coach of the Detroit Lions. Well, and basically he got his Parcels was instrumental in him getting his

starting coaching. When you look back at Giant at his playing career, he started with the Giants, he was a third round and Campbell was a third round pick of the Giants in nineteen ninety nine, a M out of an m four years there and then when Parcells got the job here H three through OH five, so he was three years so he was tight end on the team when Jason Witten was drafted in two thousand and three, and then he went to the Lions for three years six to eight and then finished up with the Saints

and OH nine and of course Sean Payton was the head coach there and so obviously he had the same time and he would have I guess he would have been with the Giants too. He would have had Dan Campbell with when Peyton was at the Giants his offensive coordinator right then, and then he did. He go from New Orleans too, and then to Miami, and so he was a coaching intern in twenty ten with the Dolphins

tight ends coach. From twenty eleven to twenty fifteen, Joe Philbin, the Cowboys offensive line coach, became It was Tony Sperrano first, and so Sperrano was the head coach in twenty and ten, and then Joe Philbin replaced him in twenty twelve, I think it was, and he kept Campbell on his staff, and then of course Campbell when Philbin was let go in twenty fifteen, Campbell became the interim head coach of the Dolphins, and so he worked his way up there

and then Sean Payton hired him as his assistant head coach and tight ends coach in New Orleans and was there from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty and then became the Lions head coach. He was there when Sean got suspended. I think peyton suspension would have been prior to prior to that, I'm pretty sure, all right. I just and I do remember the Miami part because they actually started playing a little bit better. Didn't have much to work

with at that time. I was just wondering if he had been you know, covered a by a lot of really good coaches or not. Yeah, you know, because I know I was a part of many great coaches, but I did not have any I need to coach. You didn't want to. I never wanted to coach. I think it's because of the It wasn't the tutelage at all. That was amazing what I learned. But I also learned

that they hated dealing with other people. And that's me, I, you know, I it's the ansillary, you know, people that you have to deal with, you know, those those people on the friends and the mothers, the fathers, the you know, the friend the other coaches, the bosses. You know, I can't deal with all this stuff. And it was twenty twelve, was a year twelve Peyton was suspended. Um and so those are kind of his mentors in coaching. It was

they influenced. Yeah, going back He probably would have first met Peyton when Peyton was oc with the Giants, and then probably on his recommendation. He got signed to the Cowboys in twenty two thousand and three, and pass Sales knew what kinds of player he was and you just heard about it, how Yeah, you know he was that locker room guy, so right, you could just tell he was going to be a coach. It's just a great

illustration of the networking that goes into getting those breaks. Um. And that's what his high schools coach said last night talking about this guy was made become a probably the coaching in high school. Well, yeah, he probably was. I mean, as big as he was, he probably knew that he could set a good example, right, I know, teammate and now they didn't. He whipped their ass right. Well, yeah, that's how you bring about the witness. I know Jason

Witten has a lot of respect for him. Happen to run into Witton a month or so ago, and it's actually when Hard Knocks was going on, and so I asked him, so you're watching Dan on Hard Knox. He said, oh, yeah, I'm watching it. And in fact Witten said that he that Dan invited him up during training camp to come speak to the team, but he wasn't able to make it because he's coaching his high school team Liberty Christian

and Argyle near here. And but what what Witton was saying about Campbell is what he was just hoping that they understand that their talent is not where it needs to be right now. But what he is doing is what was evident on Hard Knocks is the culture that he's establishing there in Detroit. And so the key on him is don't get off to a one in four start, which is what's happened. Uh. And and for them to understand that it takes some time to build that roster up. Yeah,

and it will take some time. But I just think between him and Aaron Glenn, you know, and Aaron Glenn had a couple interviews for head coaching. Yeah too. Uh. Glenn was great when he was here in the locker room, he was and of course he came in also when parcels. He was one of those guys you can go and ask, you know, stuff about the game. And he didn't b s yet he told you basically he used to. He

used to get on me. We'd be in the circle around his locker room, and everybody would leave and I'm still there, and he'd look at me and goes, okay, what do you want? Were he knew? Now here? It comes to good question, that's what That's what it was, all right. I'm looking at their coaching steff, see if I recognize any other names. He's got a bunch of players former players. Yeah. Uh, running back coach, Yeah, the running back coach. Well, Mark Brunel's the quarterbacks coach, right,

oh nice. Deuce Staley is then styl They have a very spirited relationship. Yes, yes, on hard knocks, you go pretty competitive. What you're trying to say? An Joan Randall l is their wide receivers coach. Kelvin Shephard is the linebackers coach. So there you go, and we've got more of bick shots coming your way in just a moment. We paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh look at that. That's not the end,

no way. Now it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right? Five times not enough times for everyone who traded in rock concerts for their kids recitals.

What else you got on your legal pad there? Well? The other thing, one last thing on on Campbell we were talking about him, uh playing six on six football. It was in Morgan, Texas. No, No, I'm sorry, I take it back. Uh he was raised

on a family ranch where he helped raise cattle. The closest town to him was Morgan, Texas, which had one intersection, no stoplights, six to ten students per graduating class, and four hundred total residents. So to have the opportunity to play six on six football at Morgan High School can't. He'd ended up transferring to glenn Rose as a saw or so he could play eleven on eleven and his nickname was Boon as in doesn't say b o o n E boon boom M. I assume Morgan is fairly

close to glenn Rose, which is southwest of Fort Worth. Yes, okay, Morgan Eagles. Glenn Rose is approximately, it says here, seventy miles from AT and T Stadium. Okay, So there you go. That's what we know about Dan Campbell. Now what else do we know about these Detroit Lions. No, well, I've got a time, I've got notes here talking about how well they have run the football, got the second ranked offense,

third ranked in defense. And here are the totals. Against Philadelphia they ran for one hundred and eighty one yards. Against Washington, they ran for one hundred ninety one yards against Minnesota one thirty four, Seattle one forty five, and even though they got shut out by New England, they

ran for one hundred and one yards. So if you put all that together with the exception you know of the New England game, well, with the New England game, they're averaging one hundred and fifty one yards a game. You said they were number three in defense, no rushing offense, Okay, defense, they're dead last. Yeah, yeah, that's been their problems. Those analytics didn't yet if I misspoke, I appreciate a Yeah

you still apologized. Yeah, I'm still missing around right. So anyway, Uh, that's one thing the Cowboys obviously have to be aware of because it sounds like their other running back, DeAndre Swift is he had missed the previous two games. Uh, and Jamal is it Jamal Williams do. Yes, he was their lead guy after that, but it looked like he practiced on a limited basis yesterday, so we'll see if he's ready to get back. So you mentioned that they

have the number three scoring offense in the league, number two. Okay, number was number eight rushing. I think as far as scoring offense or number three total offense, number two, they lost to Philadelphia thirty eight thirty five. They lost to Seattle forty eight to forty five, and so Dan Campbell has one of the highest scoring offenses in the league, but it doesn't compare to his old six man footballs.

In Morgan, Texas As, the producer Supreme just sent me an update on their season, how it's going, and in their last game they beat Iridell one oh seven to eighty two. Games in six man football Texas is insane. Be in shape and you have to be able to do more than one thing, and usually they don't. They don't become one oh seven to eighty two scores because you I think there's a forty five point rule. If you get up by forty five, they call a game,

and no, there's something like that. Usually the good teams win like seventy to twenty whatever. Do they wear equipment, Yeah, it's not like flag football or seven on seven. Yeah, it's full fullball watch six players. They are very multi talented. They can throw, run, kid, do all that kind of stuff. It's usually the Tuesday of the state championship week a smaller, smaller field. They condense the field at and T Stadium,

so it's at the numbers. But what you need to do, you need to make a trip out to on a Friday night watch six man where you've got the you know, under the dim lights of a Friday night. You know where you get the full taste. They don't even give them bright lights. That dim lights. I actually have a I have actually have a friend who he and his son used to make trips to watch six man football.

It was like a father's son deal. Yeah, when when his kid was probably you know, seventh or eighth grade, and he loved watch going to watch him play that he was he was a player himself, and he just it was a father's son outing on a Friday night. They'd pick a six man game each season to go to. So all right, that's an idea. So it's not like, yeah, it's not like women's basketball in the day when you played half everybody was on their half of the core,

on each end of the court. Yeah, you can't cross half way back. They were wearing the old view. They were wearing skirts. That's what they think. They were wearing skirts too, by the way, that's why it used to be Texas High school girls basketball, and well it was that all over. If they actually had it because growing up they didn't even have women's basketball in high school and I was so so tell me, the cow Boys are probably going to see certain things in regards to

the money game. Yes, uh, inside handoff jet sweet probably be one of them. Absolutely, And we saw that, and they're gonna make Michael Parsons make a decision. You can't do it rolling out with the quarterback that's not that mobile. So there's some kind of way they're gonna still put him in a bind to where he's gonna have to make a decision. And I think that inside handoff move is going to be something that the lines are going to count on. That is why he needs to play linebacker.

And if you want him rushing the quarterback as a defensive end and do it and it's third down and passing, he doesn't have them make those And Jared Goff won't create the problem that Jalen Hurts did with the RPOs. Like, Okay, Jared Goff's not gonna roll out. We did put him at middle linebacker a lot in the game, yes they did, and that's not where he had problems. So he had problems when they lined him up as the fifth guy

on the defensive line. I think that when we settled down, actually when we put him at middle linebackers putting me on the line. Do you see how many times Golf has been sacked? I was just looking up seven. That's it. That's it, and the Cowboys lead the league with twenty four. Well, you know what he's gonna do. He's gonna get rid of the ball real fast. I mean, if he's smart, he's gonna have all quick throws and that's gonna be the m against the Cowboys defense in the future. Well,

I want you to explain this to me though. So they're on pace for sixty eight sacks over seventeen games in a sixteen game season. The franchise single season record is sixty two. Said in nineteen eighty five, But that was the year you guys had a bunch of interceptions, wasn't it. Yeah. Yeah, So the sacks the interceptions, they go, they go hand in hand in hand. Yes, they did well. When you look at that, when you look at that season, we weren't the pourful, you know Cowboys that we were

in the early eighties seventies. You could just kind of see things start to fall off a little bit and you know, our defensive line, they were really the strongest part of our team at that time. So Tom was just letting them loose. He let them loose, and I think at that time, by nineteen eighty five, he realized that we weren't just a bunch of knuckleheads back there,

you know, just stumbling into interceptions. I think he realized that there was a method to the madness, and that finally became part of our m part of our culture was sacks and picks. It just took him a while to get there. I'm wondering, and I didn't I don't have my media guide. Probably shouldn't even say this, but sacks didn't become an official stat till eighty two, right

nineteen eighty two. So I'm thinking even before that, in the heyday of two Tall Jones, Harvey Martin, Randy White, they might have had more than eighty one and the eighty one they probably did in eighty one, you think, Yeah, I mean we were it was crazy, you know, if we want, Like I said, we went back there getting toasted. We were picking it off. Yeah, and these guys were what they were, our our lifeline, that that front front

for was our lifeline we had. We had we had Thornton also, Bruce Thornton and lar Bethea as our backups as well. So it wasn't just those four guys Dutton, White, Martin and Jones. You know, we had two backups that came in with a lot of energy. And you think back to Doomsday two, like seventy seven, they were awfully good defensively. No telling how many sacks they would have had that year that was a Super Bowl, Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely when they devastated Denver. So those video those games

not available anywhere. Can we not go find them and track how many sacks they had? No, those guys that did the research, those two guys from somewhere in Kansas Man in Kansas City, Kansas. They went back and looked at all those games and they re uh number calibrated the number of sacks guys had, and in most cases they added them on. And it ended up being where the game? Where? Where is it? Where is it? Where

they find it? No? Where, where's their work? Oh? Because if they if they've charted every game, we can, we can, we could have, we have, you can find it. They listed and they they adjusted Randy White's numbers they adjusted. Yeah, they adjusted Hobby's number, Harbies. They took twa two of his sex, they did. They took away two of Harby Morton sex. That's the that's a fact. I need to know where to find it. And the NFL wouldn't recognize it.

Just you wouldn't recognize. They wouldn't recognize the numbers to change their numbers to make the sacks official. Yeah, but they went. They didn't. They didn't trust that they did them. I want to say they went all the way. They didn't pay them. Yeah, they did it on their own and wrote I don't know if they wrote a book, but they did to study and I think they might have gone back to all the way to nineteen. It seems like the NFL would want to collaborate with him.

And yeah, no, that was part of the story. You can look it up, not now, but you can see you can search for it. Well, no, producer, Chris will tell you, we're out of time already. I want to know past breakups too, and they had it listed because I want past and they changed did they only do sacks? They did sacks, and they changed the list of all time leaders in sacks without the NFL, and they compared it to what eighty two was, and a lot of guys moved way up, but once again not approved, like

Jeff Coates moved up because he lost. Well, we can approve it a year. NFL ain't trying to hear it. Yeah, obviously, yeah, obviously. All right, I'm gonna go out a mission. You go find find it, Okay, all right, and we'll be back for another edition of mix Shots at noon on Friday. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
