Mick Shots: Setting Expectations

The guys were all over this Cowboys victory, debating whose Pick to Click was the winner, Trevon Diggs or Dalton Schultz, Everson thanking Diggs' pick for bringing his name up and the guys unearthing the name Don Bishop. Mick puts on his officials hat, salute play of both lines, the Hall of Fame ring ceremony and how rowdy the AT&T crowd really was.

Great pregame show today, though four days before the Cowboys Monday night game against the Eagles. A full injury report, and all the chess moves the Cowboys are forced to make because of injuries. And of course, wouldn't be a Friday without picks to click and game predictions. Some with some pretty unconventional scores.

With the Cowboys back to work on Thursday, the guys give an extensive injury report, encouraged by Amari Cooper (ribs) at least being limited, and an Eagles health report, too. Also, where might Micah Parsons line up this time and the ramifications of the 2020 NFL when the Eagles tried to trade up with Dallas.

Adding an extra day to the game week with the Cowboys playing the Eagles on Monday Night Football, the crew straddled the fence between reviewing Sunday's win over the Chargers and previewing the upcoming Eagles contest. So a little of this and that, including perusing the newest Hall of Fame candidate list, covering injury updates, Micah Man and the sudden proliferation of takeaways.

With the Cowboys now 1-1, few complaints this week, the guys giving an injury update, some quick Mick Shots from the three coordinators' press conferences, a comparison at defensive end for Micah Parsons and the effect of Randy Gregory's expected return.

A whole lot went into the Cowboys walk-off 20-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, and the guys hit all the high points, from the Cowboys homefield advantage at SoFi, to the play of Micah Parsons and Terence Steele, to the Cowboys running game and explaining just what happened in that final minute of the game with the time clock.

Everything you need to know prior to Cowboys-Chargers on Sunday, from roster decisions, injury updates for both teams, what happened with Ty Nsekhe to the plan replacing La'el Collins at right tackle and what the Cowboys might do if missing both starting defensive ends. And, of course, picks to click and the score.

After all of the losses to the defensive line, including DE DeMarcus Lawrence heading to the IR. The crew debate what's next for the Cowboys defense at the prepare to face the Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Changers.

Mickey wasn't sure he said it right, and shockingly he did, trying to explain all the different roster moves and impact of COVID and injuries the Cowboys are facing. Also got into Chargers QB Justin Gilbert, hearing Gil Brandt's sound on the kid while just a sophomore in college and anxiety goes up at end of show when DeMarcus Lawrence doesn't show for his scheduled interview after practice.

Well sort of, the guys catching up on all the news seemingly breaking after previous shows, but also announced the departure of valued teammate Dani Sureck, moving on to the Arizona Cardinals TV department, as she joins the show talking about Randy Gregory, Zack Martin's return, just who plays right tackle in place a La-el Collins and another kicker in town.

After having a chance to watch the Cowboys-Bucs game again, the guys give some second thoughts on the season-opening 31-29 loss on Thursday night. Then move on to the buzz kill of La'el Collins' complicated suspension and just what the Cowboys will do to replace him at right tackle. Also the improvements needed on defense.

Unmatched pregame show, the guys get you ready for Cowboys-Buccaneers in the NFL season opener Thursday night after Everson gets the Pro Football Hall of Fame off his chest. Then it's an update on the Zack Martin situation, his likely replacement Connor McGovern and a good look at those Super Bowl champions Bucs. Not to mention the picks and picks to click.

This kicked off with kickers, then moved on to the latest roster moves and why. Then on to the thinking behind the Cowboys claiming QB Will Grier and signing RB Corey Clement. Also snuck in an injury update, a reference to Hard Knocks, a numbers game and capped off with a Mick Shot of the day, Bill, Everson and Mickey covering more ground than Mel Renfro.

The Cowboys cut their roster down to 53 at 3 p.m., and Mick Shots went into OT to update everyone on those "official" roster moves, along with previously previewing what the guys thought would happen and emphasizing more roster adjustments to come over the next 48 hours.

A full report from Friday's last padded tune-up for Sunday's final preseason game, a good explanation on the inner-workings of Zeke's restructured contract, another good day for Dak and just what to looked for against Jacksonville.

In a wide-ranging show, rising temperatures and COVID-19 received top billing, the guys discussing their effects on the Cowboys, along with owner Jerry Jones stepping to the plate emphasizing the importance of player vaccinations, plus top concerns heading toward Sunday's preseason finale.

Taking a serious look back at Saturday night's preseason game against Houston, what was good, what was bad, and the ramifications of some of those performances, especially after QB Cooper Rush enters the backup competition, the defense's continued improving and a deep dive into Dak.

The show starts off with a bang, Mickey ducking out of a writers-only special session with head coach Mike McCarthy in time to give his impressions, along with gang's on Episode 2 of Hard Knocks. Dak Prescott health updates, and a few players to watch in Game 3 of preseason.

The gang is back together again at The Star, Bill, Everson and Mickey, and they spent this edition playing catch-up, making sure listeners were straight on a bunch of injuries, including Dak's status, that of Neville Gallimore and Sean McKeon. And for bonus coverage, the guys squeezed five more minutes out of the show to reveal Tuesday's five roster moves.

Radio voice of the Cowboys Brad Sham joins Mickey today for a special edition of Mick Shots, spending their time talking about former Cowboys Jimmy Johnson, Drew Pearson and Cliff Harris being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend. Great walk down memory lane.
