Mick Shots: Thanksgiving Day Game Ready

down thirty five. You know you go, I thirty five all the way from Minneapolis to Dallas. Four Here it is. The Stampede is headed the AT and T Stadium Thursday afternoon, Tomorrow afternoon at three thirty. Bill Jones, Everson Walls, Mickey Spagnola. He has not looked up from his legal pad as he is feverishly writing notes in it. He is in it, So okay, get close to the microphones so we can

try and figure out how official this is. But somebody tweeted out at four of the giants five starting offensive linemen have been ruled out on their official injury report. So you've seen the official you haven't. I haven't seen the official somebody tweeted it out, somebody Joe Leonard or Lenar. I don't know what the guy's name was. Somebody just showed it to me, okay, and I kept looking for it. All right, I've got I've found it on New Jersey dot com here. Uh. And the Giants offensive line is

a mess. Entering Thursday's Thanksgiving showdown. Before releasing their final injury report, the Giants announced that these players would not travel with the team to Dallas. That means they are out Josh Azuda, starting left left guard, center John Feliciano neck out, starting right tackle Evan Neil knee out. And I guess they start two left guards and left guard Shane Lemieux toe out. Well, they've got Lemieux um listed to something. They've got no hang on, hang on. Lemieux

is listed as their backup left guard. I think that the start to start the season he was going to be their starting left guard, and he started the year on. I R. Well, they're both out, okay, and um so Glowinski their right guard should be good to go. And it didn't list Andrew Thomas is that right left he had you know, what. He didn't practice yesterday to illness. He had an illness, so we'll see what he's playing

at US. He is one that the okay, so the twenty percent of the offensive line that is healthy is sick. Andrew Thomas yes, yes, and he's played very well this year. So that was just kind of along with now on these guys weren't listed, but they're starting tight end. Daniel Bellinger did not practice the last two he's out well, I just said he was. Yeah, he's dealing with double V out right now. It sounds like Michael Irvin with the school clo closed closed. Uh, Fabian Munroe Moreau, Yes, right,

he was DNP the last two days. Um, not ruling him out yet, not ruling him out yet. One of their other their back up to Evan Neil Tyree Phillips has not practiced well. They moved him to limited so maybe he's got a chance. Uh. And they had another dB oh a diary a Dory Jackson. Dory Jackson. I think they've already listed him. He's out out ye. Wandel Robinson Robinson out Now we're not you know what, you don't sound like you're giving them you know you're not

feeling sorry for rather at all, not at all. We have a mission. We're on a mission. Okay, that's what we already knew they had. They had issues with their wide receiving corps. Right, okay, because Sterling Shepherd's back out for a while now he got hurt against They think he may be back next week. Really, Sterling, he's out for the year. And oh he's out for no yeah okay, yeah out. Remember he got hurt of the last game

against Cowboy. That's right, that's right, and um, but they've had issues throughout the year there and named one Dale Robinson. Finally the rookie finally shows something last week had nine catches for a hundred yards and then hey, uh toward me like oh come on, yeah, yeah, you know what. I think they're gonna run a full house. Beckfield just run wishbone right at the Cowboys because Chicago did the same thing, right with jos was the option quarterback? Right?

Because the Cowboys have an illness going around that defensive room. Terrell Basham has not practiced the last two days with an illness. Dante Fowler last two days illness, Jonathan Hankins last two days illness, and Kelvin Joseph last two days with an illness, and just recently DeMarcus Lawrence popped up that he was out with a foot. But they got foot illness now out foot illness last foot to elm foot eilment and an illness ailment don't be so concrete,

all right. So and McCarthy said that they're hoping, they're they're hoping that these guys will be at least good enough to go on Thursday. But we'll see what happens today and how they list them. So I would think, what an illness, you're probably questionable? Um? And really um, Anthony Barr sounded like he would be the only one that was definitely out. Um. Michael Parsons moved from did not practice too limited yesterday and he basically said, Amy,

and don't worry about me. You would have to lock him in a room right to keep him from getting on that field Thanksgiving Day especial. Yes, there's a lot of people watching foot past Giving Day. And you know what they're calling the Giant secondary right now, the legion of whom because of that? You made that up? No, that's what they're calling it. I'm not taking credit for that. They're the legion of whom I wouldn't take for it either.

That's fine, that's pretty fun, because they they're missing a Door Jackson, who, by the way, was a first round draft pick of the Titans twenty seventeen. Xavier McKinney, who had the afore mentioned an earlier podcast atv Accident in Cabo and he's on NFI and he was a second round draft pick earlier this season. They lost Aaron Robinson, their third round draft pick last year. He's been on IR and so they here the guys who got this is the your legion of whom secondary These are the

guys who got snaps last week against Detroit. Fabian Moreau had thirty s apps, Darnay Holmes thirty four, Cordell Flat twenty two, Rodarius Williams twenty two, Nick McCleod thirty nine. Those are the corners. The safeties. Dane Belton had thirty nine snaps, Julian Love had sixty seven snaps, and Jason Pennock had thirty seven snaps. What was the allegian of whom? That's who they are? A lot splot flat flat, Cordell Flat who was Actually you don't have highest plots in

your neighborhood. He is actually fl fl Ott, and he is actually the highest drafted player. He and Fabian Moreau were both the eighty first pick in the draft in their respective years, coming out third round picks, and so Flot. Of course, Everson proved long long time ago, you have don't have to be a draft pick to be a really good dB though. Oh you don't have to have a easily pronounced name either. Everson. Yeah, don't go there, Please,

don't go there. So I think you recall about three weeks ago how everyone was talking about the Jets and the Giants, how this is such a great year for New York football and undefeated. Yeah, I tried, you can throw Buffalo in the mix. Two, that's exactly right, Yeah, And that the Jets only win the last three weeks came against Buffalo, as a matter of fact, and they just announced there changing starting the quarterbacks. Where I was going with this and with the Jets Jets Zach Wilson.

Zach Wilson benched today sounded like bench like out. Well he's not. He's not the second quarterback this right, He's not going to be the back. Mike White, former Dallas Cowboy Mike White will start at quarterback for the Jets on Sunday, and Joe Flacco is the backup Joe Flacco. So so the city of the state of New York. Now everything's back to normal. Yeah, back, I feel bad. Back to normal. I feel bad in that we need to continue that trend. Oh you didn't mean the weather. No,

I did not mean the weather. It kind of came with the weather, though it all got put back to normal. It's an injury storm, not a snowstorm. I see all these tweets from Carl Banks with all these coaching points, So I don't know how how good that that is for the New York Giants. When when Carl Banks starts, you know, chiming in and you got a problem, that means that there are issues well and and really the oh and also Tony Pollard, Yes, defensive play offensive offensive? Sorry, yeah,

he didn't play defense. Now he played the offense. Well, he helped the defense. That's complimentary of the week. So who's the who? I want to know who the special teams guy was, because how did he do better than Brett Maher. It was not mentioned on my post, so

maybe somebody said it was Patterson. W Patterson have some returns or he had a return at thirty plus years old over one hundred yards he now in returns, yeah, over, No, it was a over one hundred yards in on that one return, the one return to win the game, basically,

to put them ahead in the game. As a kickoff return, a kickoff from the end zone, from the end which is probably the one and only kickoff return for a touchdown this season maybe in the league out of the end, out of the end zone especially so uh he now leads the NFL in kickoff returns, well, then he's depressed in history. Well, Brett Mayer leads the NFL and sixty yard field goals well, and he does have the most in history, that's right. Although he was very modest about it.

He said, you know what, though, he goes, there's a lot of kickers in the league that can kick sixty yarders. You just need the opportunity to be able to do it. And you don't have many kick returns right over thirty years old, right, and that is pretty or they get to return a kickoff. Yes, I mean that was a heck of a I think you know what you win, You win the toss and you say I want the ball. They should just put it at the twenty five yard line unless the weathers not this time. No, oh, my

man did a good job. Patterson did a great job. I would have given him that as well, because that did set the record. He now has the most kickoff returns for touchdown and he is playing We're now with the Falcons. He's been on so many teams. Why didn't anybody keep him? Minnesota had him right, he fumbled, Yes, they did very good. I forgot about that. He fumbled the kickoff return before this when that led to a score for the other team. Well, so he comes back.

It wasn't the next kickoff, if I'm not mistaken, But well, he should have got docked points. That. Yeah, that's a that's just a wash because because the Myers got credit, he hit two six. That's right. And by the way, producer Supreme Chris Beam informs me that Devin DuVernay, Kyler Murray's cousin, who is from right here locally, Saxi High School, University of Texas, also has a kickoff return for a touchdown for the Baltimore Ravens. Okay, so there you go.

There's two two kickoff returns for touchdown through and we just thought it would be turpin time. You know, still waiting on that one. Yeah, he's been doing okay though. He keeps exciting. I know that much. Well. And by the way, the a you know who the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week was, No, think New England. Ah, there you go, got Zach Wilson, mister Jones. Yeah, Marcus Marcus Jones who ended the game three three game against the Jets and he went eighty five yards apart return

for a touchdown. Yes to Zach will Well a damn fool Yeah, doing the press conference say no, yes, yes, But the question was the question was do you feel like you let your defense down considering the fact if they held the opposition to three points before that part return, And he quickly said no, just no, Like, how dare you ask me that question? I am above you and everybody's going off. You think that went over in the

defensive locker room? Well, that is why he is now that bottom of not just bitch, that's why he's at the bottom of the barrel right now. He didn't learn about you can get benched and you still got a chance because the cod might get hurt. Oh yeah, we gotta go with you again, Zach, come on in Hereyboddy like, no, they're gonna be like move Zach. Excuse me? Hey, Mike you ready, come on, let's go. He didn't, he didn't. He didn't learn about those stab wounds. You gotta fall

on your sword. You gotta fall on your sword. And that's what one of the punkas was saying. He was a former quarterback and he said he wasn't that talented. But when it's all said and done, but got him to respect and his teammates was he never threw them under the bus, right. I mean he's not nearly his talented Zach Wilson, but he never threw his teammates under

the bus. And he accepted the blame as a quarterback, which is what we see that doing all the time, exactly what we see Josh Allen doing all the time. And when Patrick Mahomes is doing it all the time. You follow, Listen, what do those three you just mentioned three there? What do they have in common that Zack Wilson does not have paid a contrack? Now the big at this point, but coming into the league, coming into the league, they were at their respective colleges for multiple years,

and they had a maturity about him. And in fact, with Mahomes, he didn't even play us first year in the league, so there was another year of maturing for him Zach and here Zach had to wait on AMO and Zach Wilson comes in as a second pick in the draft out of BYU, And as producer Supreme pointed out to me, in that twenty twenty season, BYU played a very limited schedule in terms of their opposition and because they everyone was just playing their conference schedules rather

than non conference games, so they had to piece meal it together against lesser competition. Well, that was his last year at BYU and the only year that he was really played a full season as a starting quarterback. And so but it's it's so much more than arm talent,

you know. And we saw it right from the get go with Dak in his career here where he gets thrown in when the starting quarterback the long time, the starting quarterback gets hurt, and he doesn't miss a beat because he's got that maturity about him coming into the league with so many games under his belt at MISS, could he could sit back and watch and see what's

going on before he's thrown in there. You know, that made me think there's only two starting quarterbacks in other than Dak in Cowboy history that had to sit and wait. Troy Aikman got thrown in as a raw rookie starting. I was there and then and then they made the mistake with Quincy Carter. He didn't have to wait. Tony Romo had to wait, right, Danny Waddy White waited. Roger Starback waited a year. I mean say, Roger Don Meredith

waited a year. Um, yeah, so and then you think about Starbucks maturity coming in he had done and he already waited five four years in the Navy. That's why Tom was so god he was. He had to go against all of his instincts with Roger Starback because he wanted so badly for Craig more than to be the guy right, you know, because Craig was the typical prototype pocket passer. No one was used to this Roger Dodger

crap that Starback was doing. And Tom hated it when he came off the route and he would squabble it all around. He's looking like fan talking to Back there doing all that stuff, and Tom was remember they you substitute quarterbacks. Each wasn't each play, they did it by play, come on or series, right, and he knows better. And so with Tom, there's always this thing of I gotta I'm gonna have control, right, and that's the way it always was. So he came up with that because that's

his only way of delaying the inevitable. Inevitable was the fact that Roger's gonna start. Man, it's gonna happen. You can hold it off all you want. He tried his best. What happened and what happened right after that twenty three nineteen loss to the Chicago Bears in nineteen seventy one, on what happened the Monday after that, Roger Stabakaways announced as the starting quarterback for the team, and they reeled off ten straight wins, won of her Super Bowl. And

so he delayed his own inevitability, right. He did himself trying to control things old time. Man, I'll tell you anyway. Go ahead, all right, We've got the inimitable spot read of Mickey Spagnola coming up next here on mix Shots. The Medal of Honor is our country's highest military award. For valor in combat.

So head to your local Dallas Cowboys Pro shop or online at Shop Dallas Cowboys dot com of fanatics experience and join in the boys in supporting the troops today. What did they call me? What did they call you. They're calling you. Name what they called me? Emerson,

Everson Walls. Hey, I found a kind of a funny little deal here. All twenty years ago on Thanksgiving Day, So tomorrow. Chad Hutchinson won his first NFL game as a starter in twenty twenty two. He beat Jacksonville twenty one nineteen twenty one nineteen, one of the least memorable Thanksgiving Day games ever played. And I think it might have been his greatest start ever because he only had three sixteen of twenty four for three hundred and one yards,

two touchdowns to Joey Galloway and two interceptions. Okay, it deletes us down a road I wasn't expecting to go, but I got another one. Okay, go ahead. These quarterbacks that played baseball that failed, you got a Drew Henson story. Yeah. Two thousand and four, November twenty fifth, Thanksgiving Day, Chad Henson now Drew Henson. Sorry, I remember this one first NFL start. It was seven to seven at halftime. Julius Jones ran thirty three yards for a touchdown. This was

against two the Bears. Okay, and Henson was four of twelve for thirty one yards and it's like what four he started that game. He started, but Bill Parcels had had at halftime, had seen enough, and he put back in the game. Yeah, I remember that because they limited Henson to one side of the field. Yes, yeah, he would just they would make they made sure that he only had to read one half of the field at a time. It was seven to seven, It was seven seven,

and he was like valedictory of his playoffs. That was one of the big things about Marty was you know what I remember, processed quickly. He didn't. He wouldn't pull the trigger, and he I don't think he started another game because then he went and played in the World League and he struggled there and he came back and he could not process quickly enough as a quarterback to pull the trigger on the passes. So I was wondering ever since if you remembered your first Thanksgiving Day game

in eighty one, I really don't. It probably was, you know, we were so lucky at that time to win. We were just winning every week, so it was no big deal. I don't think it was a major thing. I think my my concentration was on my twenty three season tickets for the family, trying to get everybody seated and get everybody in the game. You actually were starting by that I was. I was starting by game five. So the score you don't have to review that. He's got that down.

November November November twenty sixth, the Cowboys beat the Bears ten to nine. That's how we beat them by ten to nineteen eighty one and the only touchdown scored. And make sure I got this right. Um, now you got me looking at Mike Downs returned an interception twenty yards for a Touchdo no, no, you're no no, I confused him. Ron Springs fourth quarter touchdown won the game ten to nine,

six yard touchdown. I got ahead of myself. The Cowboys only had eleven first downs and that touchdown came with five o nine left to go in the game. Did Peyton Walter Payton play that game? He did? We had to. We had to shut them down, right. He threw a pass incomplete pass. He had thirty eight carries for one and seventy nine yards. Wow, and we still won the game. So Danny White got hurt that game, Yes he did. Glenn Corno came off the bend. Danny was three of

seven for sixty six yards, got hurt. Corno came in six or fifteen for one hundred and thirty one. Danny Bruce Ribs in the second quarter, and the reason you ended up winning despite thirty eight carries for one hundred and seventy nine by Walter Payton ed two Tall Jones blocked an extra point. Boy, you would just think that with all of those carries and numbers that they would the offense would be you know why the quarterbacks. Vince

Edinlers was the quarterback. He threw for sixty yards. He threw one pick, but it wasn't Everson Walls who got the interception because he knows, he knows better. He was Steve Wilson's Oh my god, this is like a This game here was like so many a confusing stats. I mean, there's an aberration in Cowboys history and thirty years only in the session that year hit me. Come on, man, that's crazy. Thirty years ago in nineteen eighty two, you

beat Cleveland thirty one fourteen. I got two that game, and you guys moved to ten and three and finished twelve and four. I think that's the only time I played. No, you didn't finish twelve and four. That was the eighty one eighty five I got two against the Browns. Steve Wilson had two picks that year. So, Bill, when was your first Thanksgiving Day game to be at? Oh? I don't I never went to a Thanksgiving Well, well, working, yeah, working, I can't remember. I don't know. Okay, Mickey wants to

tell his story. I just started looking. I do remember. I do remember the Larry Cole Thanksgiving Day game watching night. No, I'm talking like sixty eight or so. I remember Larry Cole would always have a fumble return for a touchdown night. No, Larry Cole was done playing by nineteen eighty. It was No, I'm talking early in his career when he first I gotta look it up. You gotta look at Mickey. You tell your story against the Redskin. He scored throughout his career.

It's always against Washington two. He was always against Washington. Wetskins was the one he made the big stop on um. I thought, I thought, I remember the nineteen sixty eight he had a fumble return for a touchdown and I got it. That was his rookie year. He finished second in the Rookie of the Year of voting. Wow. Really nineteen sixty eight. Yep, rookie, like defensive rookie. Yeah. And then I found it. On Thanksgiving they played Washington and and oh no, no, yes, yes, yes, he had an

interception return for a touchdown to seal the win. Nineteen sixty eight. So that is my earliest Thanksgiving Day watching memory. I remember Larry running with the ball in his hands, and it was against the Redskins. And this was in the seventies, and I know he did it all the time against Washington. May have been Rogers last game against Washington. I think it was man he had he did in nineteen eighty he had a forty three yard interception return. Yes,

you did so. He started his career in nineteen sixty eight with an interception return against Washington on Thanksgiving Day. And if I can get it to call up here in nineteen eighty, um, they played Seattle on Thanksgiving, go ahead making. It wasn't the Thanksgiving game, it was just a Redskins game. Let me see a Washington game, Washington. I'm looking it up. Yes, against Washington, it was the

Sunday before Thanksgiving. He had a forty three yard interception return from a touchdown Larry Cole memory in his career, Well, let me back it up. There's got to be at least three, and at least two of them were against the Redskins. That's amazing. H He was known for it, either fumble returns or interception return so like jumping at the line of scrimmage and catching the ball. He had had he had three? This is mind you, Larry Cole. A he was listed at two hundred and fifty two pounds.

In modern day he would be a six five, two hundred ninety pound defensive lineman. Okay. He had three interception returns for touchdowns in his career and to the and in fact, and he had a fubble return for a touchdown also in his career. Was he the was he the guy from Oklahoma? No, who was then an offense Larry Cole played at, actually played at three colleges, Our Forrest, Houston, and Hawaii. Hawaii is the last one. Okay, he's from Minnesota, Minnesota, Okay.

And and when I saw Jeff Coach do the same thing in nineteen eighty five, that would that gave me Larry Cole flashbacks when he intercepted that uh when we won the NFC East nineteen eighty five. That reminded me of Larry ran it back because he and Larry kind of want to like you know what I mean, there's a weird run nobody kind of side, nobody behind. You know. This brings up to me there needs to be I know,

we have the Ring of Honor. There needs to be like a Walk of Fame at the stadium for a big two to honor, to honor players like Larry Cole. He will, yeah, the song he will. And it's guys that have the great you know, they didn't quite measure up the Ring of Honor status, but it was solid. Yeah, and they're consistent, very popular players, whether it's a walk garrison two of them, you know exactly, Larry Cole and Jim Jeff. Yeah, there needs to be like in a

Walk of Fame throughout that sponsor for that. You have one in mind, k Post, don't you think though? Yes, yes, And you can have a special ceremony for the them, even if it's just in the off season or whatever, to honor these from the past. Just think about there's tons of like that. Just think about the deserves, the big moments, and the stadium is so massive r you know, there's it's you know, and it's it's just great place. It could be a bar area, gathering area, or whatever

where you can display those names. Right. Okay, So since since we're talking about this stuff before, we can go to break uh, the NFL uh In, with the participation of CBS, Fox at NBC, are going to dedicate Thanksgiving Day to John Madden. They're going to do a bunch of different things during the broadcast. Um, They'll they'll have visuals with Madden's description of Thanksgiving. Um, They'll each network

will run it in in during their games. They're also going to create each network their own tribute to John that'll be in the broadcast. An NFL Films has made a twenty three minute Greatest Footage reel of madden Thanksgiving moments that they're going to share with the networks. So

that's going to happen on Thanksgiving. Nate's going to beat and they're gonna each network is yeah, oh this is interesting, twenty five yard line stencil on the fields, end zone stencils, and helmet stickers, and each network will select a player of the game who's going to receive a ten thousand dollars donation to be given to a youth rogue program

in their name. Nice. So while I'm at it on this the Walk of Fame, Okay, Yeah, I've also thought that the network television broadcast booth at at and T Stadium should be named the Pet Summer All and John Network. That would be good. And by that way, that way their memory lives on where well, you know, Jim Nats or whoever is doing the games were here in the Pat Summer All and John Madden Network TV broadcast booth at at and ten at this stadium. Well, that's the

that's the that's the one thing they did. They were not prominent at this stadium. It was Texas Stadium, but I think it's still it. Lingers, I mean it Texas Stadium became. I think the Raiders should do it. Yeah, so I think should do it. Well, I thought, and real quickly since you brought up announcers. The first game I covered was November twenty second, nineteen eighty four, and

the announcers were Dick Enberg and Merlin Olson. I saw I found a video, right, and then they had their little open with those two guys, and those voices are still can kind of ring in your And that's the game that Mike Downs had a twenty seven yard interception return for a touch and that was against whom New England they had to be an NFC tea. Yeah twenty seven. Merlin was the only commentator that understood how tough it was to play the flex defense as a defensive back.

He's the only one I've who had mentioned about how a special and unique our technique was. That's why I like Mola. And there you go, a walk down history lane. Okay, and now we're about to walk into this Thanksgiving Day with our pistila. Who's gonna win when Mick shots continues in a moment? We paid how much for those lessons? She's doing great?

and predictions for this game. I think we'd know where we're leaning. We'll start with the former Cowboy and the former New York Giant, who has a Super Bowl ring from his time with the Giant. Sounds like the intro we use for the Star Sports. We don't want to talk about the fans. I want to see that, all right. I am looking forward to the Cowboys, of course winning

this game. My player, I think he's gonna have a sack and the force fumble, and he's gonna have a force fumble because they are going to be trying to run the ball on us. I don't think they they I don't think they have the confidence to pass on us. So I'm looking for him to try to run the ball keep the game in check. I look for mister Gallimore to have onalimore and at least one force fumble. I wanted to be a strip sack fumble, but I'll

take it either way. Cowboys are gonna win. Offense is gonna goroll thirty to twenty, taking advantage of those injuries that the Giants have, particularly in the interior of their offensive line. That's why I picked mister calliber. And what was your score again? Thirty to twenty? Yes, how boys win? Am I up next? If you would like to be up next? At sure show? You make the call. Somebody asked Michael Parsons yesterday, um, how good this team could be? And he said, we all saw it last week, So

how do we sustain it? Greatness has to be sustained, and they will sustain on Thanksgiving Day thirty one seventeen with a victory. Then your pick the click was my pick. The clip is Click will be Sam the Man because they're going to be Marcus Lawrence a little under the weather, they probably limit his snaps, and Lawrence got two sacks. Larrence got two, so they're going to concentrate on him, follows dealing with an illness. So Sam's gonna be the

survival of the fittest. What do you think going to have sacks? Sacks? Two at least two sacks and one will be a strip fumble. So the Cowboys will then have another player with five or more sacks. That's right. This season if Sam Williams gets a couple, but Gallimore better keep Daniel Jones from running out of the pocket. Okay, he realized he had seventy nine yards rushing. Yes, who is the player of the game. Who was the player of the game the last time the Cowboys played the Giants?

What do you remember? I remember it being Donovan Wilson. He did have a big game. You're exactly right. So I'm going to pick Donovan Wilson for my double Yes, he's gonna double up against the Giants. Donovan Wilson is my player of the game. And you know, in fact, our most loyal listener of Nate in Frisco. We were chatting about are these the real what are the real Cowboys? Are the real cowboys the cowboys that played the Packers

or the cowboys that played the Vikings? And I think this week the real cowboys are the cowboys that played the Vikings. And I look at this Giants team, It's depleted, and I think the Cowboys are gonna roll on Thanksgiving Day and I'm gonna go thirty four to ten. So to support your Donovan Wilson pick. First time around ten tackles, one sack, two PAT two passes nobus, Yeah and no. It says it says it's a PBR and a p D pass defense pass defenses PR pass I got no,

let me see it, it says PR. I need to look at it. Well, the punt return is a PR no because they got fumble fumble recover, forced fumble fumble recover, and then it's got a PR. Huh what is that? Supreme pass? Wow? I don't know what that is. Pass refuted. Let me see if there's a gloss is I have no idea. I don't think I've seen it before. That's why it made me stumble. But there's a lot of defensive lineman with them too. Yeah, yes, eversonce what what

do you think? Give me some numbers on Donna's gonna have a pick a pick Yeah, excellent pass rush maybe, But that's kind of quarterback? Is that like a quarterback pressure back press? It's a pressure, it's a PR it's a pressure, it's a pressure. Yeah. Oh, but seeing when they says normally a q q h, when what they quarterback hit? What I found out what they do when they put the quarterbacks, it's it's they put them together. They put the hits in the pressures together for that

one stat. Okay, quarterback hurries and pressures. Yeah they're they're together, but that's probably a pass rush. That's pressure. It's a pressures pressure. You know what. That's from PR. It's from your favorite website, the PR PF. No, the Cowboys count those, No, but they got that from Oh I got that from PF. I got ye your favorite? All right, Well you know what, we've got to go next door? Yes, all right, very good. Can anyone join you over there? You want to? You can? Okay,

Well we'll get some food. Um, and I think if people just want to come in and listen, they can buy a ticket, I believe, or a ticket for autographs. Be interested. You see who's signing that. I hope they can. Players coming over after? Oh really? Oh yeah, I hope they found How long this lusty? Well, we get going about one fifteen. They start giving out drawings at one and then the players come in after us. So that's

about two two fifteen, so the last couple hours. And so this is before every home game, every home game, and then selected away games. Do you want to advertise that I have to do it by myself? The games? So The last one we did away was so how would a Cowboy fan find out about this star sports tours or sports travel? Okay, all right, they can get to the website. They'll they'll put together the whole trip for you, all right, And this is properly where they

look at us. Nobuddy was allowed on this tour or less they had a jersey. I can see that, right, A lot of Cowboys jerseys in the building. They're still coming. We're going to see them over there. This looks like the Allen football team coming out of the locker room. Huh. They just came and coming. Look at all right, and the band too. Well, let's let's get behind him and we'll find our way over the way. Good police escort over there. All right. That does hit for this week's

edition of Mixed Shots. Enjoy the game and we'll chat at you again on Monday. Go Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
