The Spurs were destroyed by the Rockets after playing them three times in the first eight games. Jeremy Sochan broke his thumb and is going to be out for probably a month or two. And Coach Pop is not roaming the sidelines right now because of an undisclosed illness, which sounds pretty concerning when you know his age and history.

A state of Spurs discussion today on Sneakers and Cleats.

Happy Halloween from the Sneakers and Cleats podcast! The Spurs turned the ball over, shot horribly from behind the arc, and turned in a lackluster effort against the Thunder on Thursday night. Is this the norm? Or just a hiccup for the young Spurs squad. The Cowboys are hoping to get reinforcements this weekend against the Falcons, but would the return of Micah Parsons and Daron Bland even help at this point? The 6-2 Texans are taking on the 2-6 New York Jets on Thursday Night Football... and are two point underdogs? What the heck is going on here? Matt and Chuck talk about the Stefon Diggs injury and how that will affect this team. And it's week 10 of the High School Hype Squad! Matt and Chuck go through the TNL Top 10 for week 10 and the TNL matchup of the week between Wagner and Boerne Champion.

San Antonio has shown some good, some bad, and some ugly early on in this young season. They win the home opener in a game that last year they probably would have lost and showed something that they didn’t have a year ago: physicality. Matt Roy, Don Harris, and Chuck Miketinac are all over the Spurs today on the SAC pod. Plus, the Cowboys lost, once again, to the 49ers in a prime time slot and this game was not as close as the final score indicates. They get out outplayed and drop to 3-4 on the season while Trevon Diggs attacks a reporter verbally after the contest. Things not looking good in Big D. And the guys go around the league talking about the big storylines in the NFL, including Anthony Richardson subbing himself out of a game… Which is something Matt isn’t taking too well. All that and more on the #SACpod

On Tuesday, Jerry Jones made his weekly appearance on Dallas’ flagship station 105.3 the fan as he has done for about 15 years. But this time – it got a bit contentious. The hosts RJ and Shan asked Jerry what every fan wants to know – why no offseason spending and how does he respond to that criticism? Jerry responded by threatening their jobs and telling them it isn't their job to ask him those questions. Well, Jerry, hate to break it to you, but it IS their job to ask those questions and it's YOUR job to answer them. Matt and Chuck give their takes on the strange saga. Plus, the Spurs end their preseason tonight. What should you be watching out for? And Matt brings you an exclusive interview with new Spurs play-by-play man Jacob Tobey as he gets ready for his first season with the San Antonio Spurs.
