  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: This He's Cowboys.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Storyline with Nick Eatman. Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Nick Eatman. It is time to talk Cowboys football and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'll let you guys kind of turn it loose. Let
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you guys tell me what you're thinking, what you're feeling.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And obviously this week it's probably not too positive on
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, even though you know they got a game
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: coming up here Thursday night against the Giants, which is
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a good thing too. Losses in a row at home,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Cowboys sitting at one and two. A lot of football
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: left to be played, and it starts obviously Thursday against
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the Giants. Cowboys get their first NFC East Division game
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and go to the Meadowlands where they won last year
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: forty to nothing and I think it was forty nine
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: seventeen was the was the score of the second game.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So we'll see if the Giants have closed the gap.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I know they have the same record one and two.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: They've beaten Cleveland on the road. Cowboys beat Cleveland on
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the road, so about the same. We'll find out. Uh,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we'll find out exactly where the Cowboys and Giants stand
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: when they face off Thursday night, all right, like we
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: do every every day here at ten am Central. This
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: is when we tape the show every single day for
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: any new for the new audience from Bali Sports also
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com. We got phone callers at eight
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the number to call. We got two callers already on
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the line, so we're gonna get this thing kicked off.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: It's Zach in Atlanta's first Zach. You're up.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mick. How are you sod?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I'm doing well.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: We were moving forward and like you said, it's a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: short week, so there's not a lot of times it's
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: well on what happened Sunday. But I am curious, at
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: what point in the day or the game do you
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: start thinking, Man, the storyliners are going to give me
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: hell when it comes to the next show.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when the game, I mean like when the game
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in the middle you're asking when during the game.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: During the game, or later that evening, because I mean
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: it's not two weeks.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It's during the game when you just know and you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: don't even like honestly, you get a sense from I mean,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at Twitter. I'm looking at at at my feed,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and I see what people are saying, you know, I mean,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Aubrey makes the longest field goal in the team history,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you know, and and every comment is just snark, you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, like nobody's happy about anything at all, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: so you know, you you feel it. But but I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: obviously the people on Twitter are a lot tougher than
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the ones you know that call in And I say
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: tougher because they can say what they want and that's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you know, they don't really care so that they you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they hide behind the spring bunch of Yeah, a bunch
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of tough guys on Twitter.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Anyways. Yeah, well you're you're you're the man for cannon
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Man and uh, you know, taking some inadvertent hits from
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: us after these games. But all that to say, looking
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: at the Giants, something to be encouraged by. I guess
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: is Mike McCarthy. Uh, in his time with the Cowboys,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: he's six and three, coming off a bye or going
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: to a Thursday game, So I don't know, quick turnaround,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: we'll see how they perform. I think it's foolish to
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: not elevate Dalvin Cook that the rumors are that they're
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: not going to elevate him. I think we need to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: deploy all our guys to try and get something going.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Dalvin Cook.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Ryan Sowernoy keeps seeing Hunter. Look you get some touches.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: And Rico was looking good on the offensive side. But yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: if the Giants are not a good team, we have
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: to beat them, right. But if we don't beat them,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I guess we are just as bad as they are.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: So those are my thoughts. The Cowboys should win. I'll
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: go maybe twenty eight.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: We're doing twenty three.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: All right, we are doing call. It's a thank you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: for the call. It's Tuesday, and it's it's weird, though
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I know, I get it. It's the game. We had
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a game in forty eight hours. It's just weird to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: write down scores because this is the last show. This
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is definitely the last show before the game. It's still
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in that mode. I'm trying to figure out doing little
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: research on the Giants and what they've got, what they've done.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: That's what a short week is. Everybody's got to got
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to prepare quickly. So all right, we are doing that now.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Dalvin cook, Jerry Jones said on Tuesday morning on this
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: radio show one five three the Fan. He says he
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: did not think that the Dalvin Cooke would be elevated
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: this week because of the short week. Don't get it,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: don't understan And honestly, I mean, and it's you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you're implementing your your offense and all that stuff, but
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I would think a short week would be the week
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to do that, you know, I mean everybody should be
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, you played a very physical game against the Ravens.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: They hit hard. You know that everybody in that division does,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and your bodies are going to be sore. You know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: why not bring a running back in that that shouldn't
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: should be fresh? Doesn't make sense to me, But whatever,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go Dylan in Northport, Florida. Hey, Nick,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: This is going to be I don't think this is
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: going to be a bridge week for the Cowboys. And
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: they can either cross the bridge, they can burn the bridge.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: It's rather to be a game that gets them back
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: on track here. I think if they lose, there's a
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: chances team implode. I think there are some problems brewing
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: in the locker room. You saw even the head coach
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: yesterday talking down to Nick Harris like he asked the
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: most ridiculous question ever. It was very fair, very good
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: question that he asked him. I think he's on edge,
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: and I guess, and that's kind of a peeking to
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: the window of what's going on in the locker room.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: So the biggest Week four game that I've seen in
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: recent history for this team, I think. And with all
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: that said, I waited way too long for the season
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: to start and come back around for me to be
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: hitting the panic button in a Week four. So I
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: got to take the Cowboys winning this game. I'll take
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: them thirty seven to twenty four CD with two touchdowns
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: and with Key's first touchdown of the season.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. It'd be great to see CD.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And you know, Dak kind of get back going again.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You're right, I mean it is, it is on age
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit. If you saw the press conference Monday,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you know what Dylan's alluding to is question that Nick
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Harris asked and about you know, the short week, you
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: got all this stuff going on, and you know a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: lot of a lot of players in the locker room talking.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you listen to Jordan Lewis on Monday
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: said the word detail like thirty one times, and I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: don't think I'm exaggerating. I mean he said like every
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: other word was details, details, details, and so uh, you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and and the coaches don't like to hear that because
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the players are talking and chirping and you know, they
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: seem like they've got the answers. A lot of people
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: are saying stuff and on on, you know, what needs
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to happen. Somebody's not getting it done. So I hopefully
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: those people are the ones that are that are making changes,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but I would imagine that everybody that's doing even the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: ones doing the talking, need need to, you know, try
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to turn this thing around. I mean, Dak Prescott said
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it after the game that he didn't practice well on Thursday,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you know, and I don't understand that. Again, this is
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: this is just from an outsider's your perspective. But you know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you got you played very, very poorly against the Saints
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and and at home. It was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. Loss,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: couldn't stop anyone. Offense didn't score when they needed to,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: defense couldn't stop it. You know, the Saints for the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: first six drives and then then you've got the Ravens
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: coming up the next week. You've got to show who
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you are. So if you do not to practice well
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: on Thursday or whatever day that was, that doesn't make sense,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you know, So you come out and you play like that. Again.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It's getting to the point where you know, this game
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: will tell kind of who you are a little bit
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like if you can't figure it out, you can't have
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the pride to turn this thing around and and and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and focus, you know, for practice and all that stuff,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: then then there is a bigger problem. So uh again
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: not Dylan's right. You don't need to hit the panic button,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: but you need to find out where it is, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and and I mean you definitely know where it is,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and it's it's in it's in this you know, reaching
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: distance right now because this is this is bad. If
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you go lose to the Giants, a team that you've dominated,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: uh for the last few years, not just last year,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: then that that won't that doesn't bode well for for
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: what this team you know, is going to do this
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: year or not going to do. So, uh, we'll find
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: out a lot here in a couple of days, all right, Tim,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and with Winston Salem, North Carolina. Hey good, how are you?
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: I'm doing good. My opinion is we got players that
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: I don't know given effort. I hate, I hate to
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: say that about a professional laughing afterte but my thing is,
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: if if guys aren't getting the job done, we got
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: a roster, let's try and put somebody else in see
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: what they can do.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Who? Tim Like, like really like who? Who? Who else
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: would you want to put in? Dalvin Cook? I mean
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: like like, there's not like just a huge roster sitting there.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of the guys are playing. So
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: what what are you saying? Exactly?
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: Uh, Let's give Davin a chance. I mean, we're we're
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: we're not getting very much at our running back position,
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: you know, you know, let's let's give somebody else a chance.
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: You know, we we we never know. We may have
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: a diamond in the rough shit there. You know, somebody
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: may just elevate their game to the point and give.
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: Us what we need, right.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: You know, I don't know. I don't have the answers.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I know, I yeah, and I and I hear you,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to to argue with you, but
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Dalvin Cook doesn't look like that's gonna happen.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: That's the one that seems logical to me. So when
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you say let's give someone else a chance, are you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: are you saying like brock Hoffman for for Cook Cooper
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: bebe uh take out take out Dak put in Cooper rush?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, what what you know? Defensive? But you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, like, who who are we trying
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to put in here? Who is who do we think
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: is not playing enough that needs to get in? Maybe
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: one of those young defensive defensive ends Marsh you know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: does Neeland need to play more? I mean, you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I just think those are that's a generic statement, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you're and it sounds good. I just like, what an
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: are we are?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: We?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Where are we going to find the answers? Because I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: think that they do play a lot of players, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: they backups don't seem like they're ready either. I don't know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Tim, I think we lost him. That's it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Tim, appreciate that I wasn't trying
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to ask him a question back and just just throwing
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: out there that obviously, you know, something needs to be done,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and that's that's the frustrating part, you know, and I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: appreciate the fans calling and kind of throwing out suggestions
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but like getting to the specifics, like who's
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: sitting there that's not playing, certainly other than Dalvin Cook
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: And I get that. Is it Ryan Flanoy? Is that
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: is that a guy that you know people want to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: see now? Of course, Jalen Brooks is coming off one
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: of his best games, Jalen Tolbert, Camante Turpin. I mean,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's if that was the the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: best part or the worst part of of what happened
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Friday Sunday in the fourth quarter, because all of that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: stuff that that was happening, the Cowboys coming back, coming
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: back when you think about who they're who their top
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: guys are going into the season, and you're like, all right, CD,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, Zeke you know, probably at running back, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: everyone that was getting it done was not those guys.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: It was it was Turping, it was Ferguson, Jalen Tolbert,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brooks, Hunter Lipkey, a little bit of Rico, all
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: those guys. We're getting it done. And so, uh, that's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a good thing. But you also would like to see
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: your your your stars, especially CD and Cooks making plays
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: there as well. All right, let's go Chuck d in
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Bridge City, Texas. Hey Nick, Hey Chuck, how are you.
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: I'm hanging in there? All right, I'm some uh more
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: of an upbeat call. No no dwelling here. But I
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: think that on the offense, you know, CD missing camp,
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: hurting us, but hopefully they can get it clicking, you know. Yeah, defense,
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: it seems almost like they go from Dan Quinn, who's
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: laid back, maybe you know players coach to them where
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: I feel like they're on pins and needles. Care to
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: make a mistake. Maybe they're getting to too mental into
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: it and making these theirs they always say them's the
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: hardest guy, you know, he's gonna get on them watching
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: film and maybe that's getting to him. Maybe it's just
• 13:23
  Speaker 10: too much for them to handle, or they're.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Just not used to it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's a theory.
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I see, I see Obshawan and these guys getting
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: pushed back. I mean, I understand that has nothing to
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: do with what.
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: I just said.
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: They're obviously getting out physical. Did we lose our strength
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: and conditioning coach when we lost Quinn and all them
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: defensive guys. I mean, what's the things there?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: No, we have not have not lost the strength and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: conditioning coach, but you're right, I mean they they are
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: getting they are getting pushed back a lot. And uh,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of that is technique and being
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in the right spot, you know, not really strength strength,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: But and it's also the type of player that that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you that you have. I mean, look at look at
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the body types of these guys. I mean, you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is one, and and and Overshown is another
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: where you know, they don't look like traditional linebackers or
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: defensive ends or where they are. And again, like I said,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you know on Monday, when when it's going well, like
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: in the mismatch goes your way, it's great. But mismatches
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: or mismatches typically both ways. And so when it gets
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: hat on a hat, Uh, that's where these guys have
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to learn how to get off the ball, get off
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the blocks more than anything, shed those blocks and get
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to the football. And and that's something that the linebackers
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and everybody's having a problem with.
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Derrek Henry was look bigger than over shown and Parsons.
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: He just is strong and he's running back.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Well technical, but he's a freak technically a running back.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: You know, if Shaq played football, that's what it would
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: look like, you know. So yeah, all right, Chuck, all right,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: thanks thanks for the call. Let's continue on here. Rob
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, Hey, Nick, Hey.
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: Rob, Yes, I think this season definitely got tough enough
• 15:23
  Speaker 11: to watch wash. Watching the Washington Cowboys play last night,
• 15:27
  Speaker 11: they looked good. I mean, it's funny the guys that
• 15:30
  Speaker 11: we got rid of Fowler and they made plays. And
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: I see why people like dan Quinn. The players like him.
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: He brings energy. That's the one thing we you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: you look at our sideline, our coaching staff, they don't
• 15:43
  Speaker 11: do anything like that. Dan Quinn is jumping around and
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: moving around and he just gets into it and it's infectious.
• 15:49
  Speaker 11: And it's still a kids game. So yes, this this
• 15:54
  Speaker 11: Giant game is a musk game because everybody that felt,
• 15:57
  Speaker 11: you know, we sweep the Giants, we sweep the Washington
• 16:02
  Speaker 11: I don't think that's happening this year. So you have
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: to win at least maybe you could sweep the Giants.
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: You were asking who would you like to see, Well, one,
• 16:13
  Speaker 11: I like to see Yanye Thomas replace Donovan Wilson. He
• 16:17
  Speaker 11: makes plays. I mean every time I've seen him on
• 16:20
  Speaker 11: the field, you get to the interception fumble. They need
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: more playmakers on defense. I would like to see FLOULNOI
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: replace Brooks. Yeah, Brooks had a decent game, but to me,
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: he doesn't really do anything special to give the other
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: kid a chance. And of course, why they're not bringing
• 16:38
  Speaker 11: Cooks up to replace Deuce, I have no idea. I
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: think that's just dumb. And Mike McCarthy, My biggest fear
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: of this team is when it starts to go south
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: and you know you're not going to be here, and
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: the players know you're not going to be here, and
• 16:59
  Speaker 11: I use the terms ubstitute teacher. Yeah, that's what you're
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: gonna that's what you're going to start to see. I'm sorry,
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: it's a natural thing when you when these players know
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: I'm going to be here longer than you are. And
• 17:13
  Speaker 11: and Mike McCarthy just doesn't look like he has the answers.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: He's got to figure him out, honestly, Rob he's got
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to figure it out.
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Jason Garrett had that for nine years where it looked
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: like this was going to be it the last year
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and he was done. This is in for Jason Garrett
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and for some somehow, some way they would have their
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: best season. He always kind of get figuring out a
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: way to stay and have a great season when it
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be bad. Mike's got
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to figure that out. I mean, that's well, I agree.
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: I mean, for me, this is this is Mike McCarthy.
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: You need to score thirty every game like you did.
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: Your offense looks bad. You stopped using motion. I have
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: no idea why you need to pull it all out now,
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: Because you're coaching for your career. Probably yeah, And.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Who's to say that that. I mean, I think other
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: things happen before you have big, big changes. You know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: how about other changes like play calling? I mean, if
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: it's not going well, why not switch it up? I mean,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that's that's as simple as that. I mean, Jerry might
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: have to say, hey, you know what, let's let's get
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a different play caller. I mean, he's the head coach.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe Schottenheimer can call the place. Maybe Scott Tolzine, like
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: he did in a preseason game, can call the place.
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: I mean, I think the I think one of the
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: biggest things right now is the offensive line is not
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: playing good and according to my friend Travis, it's Mike
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: Silary's fault. He's not a good on line coach. Uh
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: and he may be right, because they're they're regressing. Steele
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: has regressed. I know he you know, it's now a
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: couple of years from that. Aco Jack Barton has regressed.
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: But I think that's just from agent wear and tear,
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: and uh, it is so right now. I just think
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: nobody trusts the offensive line. Dak's clock is definitely a
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: little quick, but they're not helping him either with any
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: quick passes, any crossing routes. They do the same stuff.
• 19:15
  Speaker 11: That's why I want to see Turpin on the field more.
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: Put him in the slot, make him a full time
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: wide receiver. He's the only guy that has some juice
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: that from the get out. Cebe has some juice down
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: the field, but he's the only guy that could take
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: a short pass and actually do something with it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 12: And I think he needs to do things.
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: Like that or if, like Dylan said, this is gonna
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: be most watched TV composer.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Definitely, all right, Rob, thank you for the call. Let's go.
• 19:43

• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Hine Cowboys Storyline here, we got a couple of callers
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: already on the line talking about the Cowboys and the Giants.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: This is a chance for you guys to weigh in,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: give us your thoughts, your opinions. What should the Cowboys
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: do to turn this thing around? Who should they play?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Who should they not play, Who should they sit? Who
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: needs to step it up? They don't have enough time
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: in the day for that one. Who needs to step
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: it up? Because it's because it's everybody for the last
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: name is an Aubrey. Step it up? And even at that,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: come on, Brandon, can you not make a seventy yarder?
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding he could. Actually, It's like, if you give
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: him a try, he might, he might make it. He
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: hasn't missed anything. He's been amazing. He's been the best
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: kicker we've seen ever in the Cowboys for three three
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: games like this, for last year, this year, I mean,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: what's that been? Twenty games now? Twenty games for Brandon Aubrey.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. I mean, and and you could say, oh,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: that's it's really bad. If if your best player is
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: your kicker, and that is bad. It is bad, But
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: how bad would it be if he's not doing his job?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, he's kept him in games, he's giving
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: him a chance. And you know, some some could say
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: last Sunday when they were on the forty seven yard
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: line the Ravens forty seven third quarter, why not try
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: a sixty five sixty probably sixty five yard kick. He'd
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: already made one, you know, could have been the difference
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: in the game. So sometimes he had tried. Sometimes they don't.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: But but right now he's just been He's been amazing
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: for what they've asked him to do and what he
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: has done. All right, let's go to champ in Nebraska. Hey, Nay,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: good morning, Hey chimp, how are you doing.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I'm wonderful? All right, Hey, so real quick. I wanted
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: to tell you last time I called in with a
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: couple fridays ago, and I was about to have my
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: daughter see sixteenth birthday party. And you told me that
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: my wife wasn't gonna need my help unless it was
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: to carry some stuff. You were absolutely correct. I carried
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: all the heavy stuff exactly. Yeah, and that night, Yeah,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the relationship my daughter and I have were both die
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: hard Cowboys fans. When we're doing our father daughter dance
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: in the middle of everybody and stuff, our conversation was
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: about the saint. She was asking me how we were playing,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: how we were going to do and all that. So
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: that's just the relationship we.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Have during the dance.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: During the dance in front of everybody, it was wonderful.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Nobody knew what we were talking about except us.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like I'll look at them talking about all
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the memories all the time. Yeah, all the soccer games
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and all the stuff. And she's sitting there going, if
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: if we can't get Kamara off the edge, then we're
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: not going to win.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: That's exactly what it was.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. That's amazing. Good.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Hey, so you kind of took one of my questions.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: I was wondering why right before the half we did
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: it attempt but I think would have been either a
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: sixty six or sixty seven yard field goal. Instead we
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: punted away at that point.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Not and not before the half, before the half they scored.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I think you're just talking about third quarter, middle of
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the third quarter.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, maybe it was. I know we wound up punting
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: away at one point and I thought, why did we
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: do that? Like, why didn't we just let him try that,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: like it's in his range. And secondly, I was listening
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: to Talking Cowboys and I didn't watch Mike McCarthy's press
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: conference yesterday, but apparently he kind of might have gone
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: off on Nick Harris got you know, a little snippy
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: with the media. I don't know if you want to
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: touch on any of that. I don't know anything about
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: what happened about that. It was just wondering what happened,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Like you know, I feel like there's a little bit
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: of internal stuff going on, and I don't like it
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: because internal stuff leads to external stuff. Yeah, well, I'll
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: hang up right and let you answer and let somebody
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: else call in. Have a great day, thank you.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's it's this isn't sitting well with
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the team, with the players, and there and there and there,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and there's obviously some things happening within the practices, within
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the meetings, there's some things happening behind closed doors, and
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the players are sort of implying about it and alluding
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: to to them not not taking care of the of
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the little things, the details. You've heard me say it
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: a billion times how you can lose games in the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: middle of the week, and that's what it sounds like
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: is happening, not not you know, not meeting well, not
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: practicing well, and obviously that stuff carries over to the games,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and so you know, and that then the coaches don't
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: like to hear that, you know, And so that's that's
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the thing. And and yeah, you know, McCarthy did it,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: like the question that was asked, And again it was
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the entire press conference. I mean, usually the press conference
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: is like ten in the morning, ten thirty eleven about
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: almost this time in the morning. But but it was
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: like five o'clock in the afternoon because the whole schedule
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: is different. So obviously it's never something wants to do
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: is go up there and just talk to the media.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not his thing. He doesn't want to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: do it. And and but you know, it was clear
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: on on Monday that he you know, he definitely did it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And I think that question kind of set him off,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and uh, he kind of you know, sounded like Nick
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: was being dramatic about it. But Buddy asked a fair question.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought that, you know, I thought the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: answer was a little bit more dramatic. But but that's okay.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, hey, it's everyone's on edge, you know, but
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: act like it and coach like it, and play like
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it on Thursday, and no one will have a problem.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Play like you're on an edge, play like you're pissed off,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: coach like you're pissed off. And let's see if this
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: thing gets turned around. Because that's that's all that anyone
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that cares about, is that kind of stuff. You'll you'll
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: be less finger pointing, less, you know, comments in the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: locker room. You go out there, and if you beat
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the Giants on Thursday night, I can promise you that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Albert and Tucson.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Arizona, Nick, good morning, my man, morning, how are you?
• 26:56
  Speaker 12: Oh man, let me tell you something that mom would
• 26:59
  Speaker 12: be a thousand person honest. You know, I have this
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: this team tattooed.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: On my arm.
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: Okay, I'm this I'm that kind of fan. And when
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: we lose, oh my god, if it f's up my
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: whole week. Let me be honest with you. But I'm
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: gonna be honest with you. And this is the way
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: it's been these cowboys. You know, we've always started off
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: one in five, five and six and one all these
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: Super Bowl talks talking high about us, so getting our
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: emotions up there. Now all of a sudden they've come
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: crashing down now this year. I think it's a bit
• 27:42
  Speaker 12: of a blessing. I think because we're we're we're trying
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: to find ourselves right, our true identity, and in this game,
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: I think we did find one good solution, which was
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: the fullback. I think he paid extremely well, especially the
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: circumstances with our offensive line. Our offensive line isn't really
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: gelling together. Of course, we have two rookies there, and
• 28:12
  Speaker 12: it's a lot to expect from an aging veteran offensive
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: right tackle that is still, you know, have lingering effects
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: and they all pro left guard. But you know, it's good.
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: I think we're having these issues now because I think
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: we're gonna we have the we have the personnel, we
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: have the people in place, and we're gonna make We're
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: gonna make it. We're gonna be all right. So I
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: don't really have any questions. I just wanted just to
• 28:45
  Speaker 12: try to be as upbeat as I could and Cowboys
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: Cowboys twenty eight, the New York Giants seventeen.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: All right, Thank you, Albert, appreciate that everybody needs a
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: little upbeat at this time. And and we'll see, we'll
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: see how they how they respond. This is a game
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that they've got to win. I mean, if you've got
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: to win division games, you got to go and and
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: on the road and win. You got to beat teams
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: like the Giants that you know, I don't I don't
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: categorize as a good football team. And I you know what,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the Cowboys are right now either.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: They look about the same though, you know, the Giants
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: lost to Washington. Washington's two and one right now. It's early, though,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I think more than ever, this is this is gonna be.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I just feel like there's gonna be more parody this
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: year than than ever. And and maybe you can say
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: that every single year, but I've I've looked at, you know,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of these games, a lot of these highlights.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I see kind of what's happening. And I don't know
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: who scares you, and I don't know who you you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: who shouldn't scare you. I mean, I was I was
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: having a conversation with my man Danny McCrae upstairs, yes
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: two days ago, and we were just talking about what
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you know, look at the schedule, and you know, it's
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: kind of like there's not a lot of gimmes anymore.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Washington looks good. Well, Giants look good. I mean they're
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: not good, but I'm just saying they look about the
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: same where you wouldn't say they're gonna win that one,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: they're gonna win that one. And I was like, that's fair.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Even Carolina won a game, and you know they're like, okay, well,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: but on the flip side, who who do you look
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: at and say can't can't beat them? I mean at
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh three and zero, go win, go win the game.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Forty nine ers, they look beatabule right now, and they're hurt,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: they're banged up, but you know, I mean they Detroit,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I mean they they've lost some games too. There's nobody
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: on the schedule that you could not say the Cowboys
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: can't win that game, and there's nobody that you could
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: say Cowboys will win that game. So buckle up, let's
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: have some fun. It's going to be that kind of season.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Sebastian and Savannah Georgia.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: Good morning, sir.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: How are we doing?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Are you?
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: I'm doing all right? Listen when they're when they're many complaints.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: A lot of the blame has to fault squarely on
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: the shoulders of the front office, and that's kind of
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: where I'm at with a lot of this. But like
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: I was listening to what you said, No, there aren't
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: a lot of teams that you can't say for sure
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: you can't beat or you can be. But the problem
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: with us right now is that the way we're playing,
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: anybody can come in here and beat us. And that's
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: the issue that I'm having. You know, I'm seeing a
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: lot of we just it's kind of the gift and
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: the curse of the three back to back twelve and
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: five seasons. You get middle of the road draft picks
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: and the draft is pretty much what we did best.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: For whatever reason, we refuse to go into free agency
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: and you know, playing free agency. But the way that
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: I feel about it is it had over these last
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: three seasons, when we saw what our deficiencies were, we've
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: just been adding a player per per the off season.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: We would be at that place where a lot of
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: other teams seem to be. Now, it seems like a
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: lot of other teams continually get better as the season's
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: go on, they go to the playoffs, they lose, they
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: figure out what they did wrong, they get a chance
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: to go back, they're better the next time around. And
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: we seem like we keep fielding the same thing year
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: after year, and that, by definition, is insanity. So it
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: has to fall on the front office. Our best feature
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: right now is our special teams. Brandon Aubrey is special,
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: but you're wasting special special teams not having a good
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: offensive defense. I'm seeing a lot of at this point.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: It looks like our locker room is kind of trash.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: All the players playing fingers at each other, people loafing
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: and not putting forth effort. And I mean, that's that's
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: what we got. This is what we have to deal
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: with right now. When we lose, it's gonna get, you know,
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: worse and worse. Hopefully we can beat the Giants, but
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: the Giants have improved, the Commanders have improved. Philadelphia. The
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: only thing Philadelphia I feel like they did wrong was
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: play the wrong type of quarterback. But they've improved overall,
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: so that's how they were able to stick with the Saints.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: But I'm gonna keep watching. Like I said, I got
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: it going ten and seven. Just wanted to call and
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: say hey and I'll try to call back tomorrow with
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: the little scout and report on the Giants, but that
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: League neighbors is something else.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: All right, well you too. There will be no show tomorrow.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: On Wednesday, there's no show Wednesday, no show Wednesday or Thursday.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Will be headed to New York on Wednesday and then
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: we'll be in New York on Thursday and be back Friday.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: It'll be a lot of fun. Supposed to get in
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: at four am, Land at four am on Friday morning
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: after the game. So by the time I might I
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: don't know, Chris, you might get about thirty minutes sleep.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I might get maybe in thirty an hour whatever, And
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: it'll be fun to talk to you guys. But after
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: a Cowboys win, it will be a lot better. And yes,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that because I do think the Cowboys will
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: win this game, and I think that it'll help with
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of these questions and a lot of the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: topics and a lot everybody's anxiety and all that or
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: how they feel. I do think the Cowboys will will turn.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I just refuse, I refuse right now to say to
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: think that the Cowboys aren't better than what they've shown.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: And I also refuse to think that it's changed that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: much from last year, that you've been thirty third three
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: points better or so thirty five points better than the Giants,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: that they've they've gotten that much better and the Cowboys
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: have gotten that much worse. I don't believe that, and
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will show it in the game.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: All Right, Corey in Arizona is up?
• 34:14
  Speaker 15: Coreynick, thanks for taking the call. All right, first time
• 34:19
  Speaker 15: for some caller here.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Wed there we go.
• 34:24
  Speaker 15: So I've been a fan for the team for many
• 34:27
  Speaker 15: years growing up. My dad was a Niner fan, my
• 34:29
  Speaker 15: brother was a Niners fan, and like you always say,
• 34:32
  Speaker 15: it chooses you and it's been a Cowboys fan. So
• 34:35
  Speaker 15: thanks for everything that you and the whole media team
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: do and makes being a fan of the team.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Corey, you were you were that kid, Corey, you were
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that kid growing up, just defiant on your dad and
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: your brother, you know whatever. They were like, oh, who
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: do you hate? Dad, They're like, well, I hate the Cowboys.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: That's my team? Is that is that how it went down.
• 34:53
  Speaker 15: Basically, him and his best friend they would have go
• 34:55
  Speaker 15: to Candlestick and Dallas every year for the game, and
• 34:58
  Speaker 15: just being competitive, I said, hey, I'm going against your dad.
• 35:02
  Speaker 15: Enjoy it, but let.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: My son try that and see what see how that goes.
• 35:09
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and I gotta catch my I got three girls,
• 35:11
  Speaker 15: but I'm not going to catch me slipping with them.
• 35:14
  Speaker 15: But no, real quick. So I've always said every year,
• 35:17
  Speaker 15: let's get past Halloween, let's get close to Thanksgiving to
• 35:20
  Speaker 15: really see what the team is and but out the gate, definitely,
• 35:25
  Speaker 15: I agree. I've refuse to believe there's been such a
• 35:28
  Speaker 15: big drop off. However, both defensive and offensive lines, particularly
• 35:34
  Speaker 15: in the running game, are just glaring. Like it's pretty
• 35:38
  Speaker 15: difficult to look at that and feel super optimistic and
• 35:41
  Speaker 15: then really across the board in any position on either
• 35:44
  Speaker 15: side of the ball, people are just not winning one
• 35:47
  Speaker 15: on one. So I want to see how that progresses
• 35:50
  Speaker 15: over the year as we get through Halloween and then
• 35:53
  Speaker 15: and then go from there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: All right, you know, thanks for the call, Corey. Appreciate that.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I've kind of looking at the schedule way back before
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: the season started. I mean, I'm you say Halloween and
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: and that's you know, the Niners is four days before that.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I've kind of thought that myself, just just looking at
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: at who's on this schedule. I was like, they need
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: they just need to have their head above water after
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the Niners game. And that's seven games, So four and
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: three would be great. That seems tough now at one
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and two, when you got the Giants, the Steelers, the Lions,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. You've got to be able to
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: get some of these games. But but even at four
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: and three, like you know, that's where I think the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Cowboys need to start. You know, you need to start
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: getting some of these wins. And and they're not going
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to be easy. I mean at at Atlanta, Atlanta looks
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: better obviously, Philadelphia and Houston and home at Washington, Giants
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: and Bengals at home, at Carolina, Tampa at home. I mean,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: like all these games are going to be challenging, but
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: none of them are games that you should at least
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: go compete and have a shot to win. And you
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: got to win some of these. I mean, you already
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: lost the Saints game, you know, and and the Ravens,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and you know, I think most people probably had them
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: at two and one at at this point, and they're
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: one and two, so this is where they are. They
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: got to start making up from ground. All right, we're
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: gonna take a last break here on Cowboys storyline and
• 37:23

• 38:56
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. He's up next, Ronnie. What's up, Ronnie? What's up? Man?
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: Hey, how you're doing, Nick?
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Are you?
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Let's go?
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: Not too bad? Nick, I can tell you how it's
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: looking right now for Halloween. It's looking very scary. So
• 39:17
  Speaker 9: we don't even have to wait till Halloween. For the
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: schedule and the games, it's it's not so much the schedule.
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: It's not so much the teams that we're going to play.
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: It's how they're playing and the lack of I don't
• 39:31
  Speaker 9: know if it's confidence want to or what's going on,
• 39:35
  Speaker 9: but when you only have two or three players on
• 39:38
  Speaker 9: defense that are putting it all out there and you're
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: not getting the same type of effort from everybody else. Yeah, yeah,
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: this is what you get. And this is like an
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: issue that's been going on for years, for years. I mean,
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: we can't stop the running. You get a new defensive
• 39:56
  Speaker 9: coordinator and you don't give them. It's like you go
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: buy groceries and you have no money. You hey, cook
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: with whatever you have in the kitchen. Just throw whatever
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: you got in there. You have no defensive tackles. You
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: gave them two old defensive tackles that are big, but
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: get pushed back. Everybody gets pushed back. You get linebackers,
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: but the every the offensive lineman get right on top
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: of them because the defensive tackles they ain't doing their job.
• 40:22
  Speaker 9: You get a first round nose tackle that was supposed
• 40:25
  Speaker 9: to be a nose tackle. So then they Dan Quinn
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: or whoever decided to make a three technique last year.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: How do you fix this? How would you fix it?
• 40:35
  Speaker 9: You know how you're gonna fix it? You wait till
• 40:38
  Speaker 9: that year, because I'm sorry, this year, I have no hope.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: All right, no hope.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the call, and that's fine, that's fine,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: you can have that. I have hope. Uh, and I
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: think other callers do too. And I apologize for cutting
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: you off, but uh, you know this is this we
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: go day to day here, this is a daily show. Uh,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: and we go week to week. We got this is
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: week four and there's eighteen weeks. So the next year stuff.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: We could do that next year. Call back, call back
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: next year, for sure, if you want to talk about that.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: But I still think it's way too early. If you're
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: dropping off, hope, let's let's find some other callers, because
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think everyone has that same opinion. All right,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: What's going on.
• 41:18
  Speaker 17: I'm not gonna put you wait until twenty twenty six
• 41:23
  Speaker 17: or no like that. Like I'm fine with the game.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: I mean I'm mad.
• 41:26
  Speaker 9: I'm frustrated with the.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: Game, and I'll get for everybody frustrated with the game.
• 41:30
  Speaker 17: But like I was telling my my dad, me and
• 41:32
  Speaker 17: him was talking about it, I kind of I want
• 41:35
  Speaker 17: to take a positive light out of it that we
• 41:37
  Speaker 17: saw some fights at the end of the game on
• 41:40
  Speaker 17: both ends of the both ends the offense and the defense,
• 41:43
  Speaker 17: because I know it came down to one play you
• 41:45
  Speaker 17: had to make a stop. But I mean before that,
• 41:47
  Speaker 17: it was two of the series where they had they
• 41:49
  Speaker 17: stopped the Ravens and had them punt, and so I
• 41:53
  Speaker 17: feel like that maybe it makes it be some positive,
• 41:55
  Speaker 17: maybe that I like switched on and thathing like that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 17: Now I don't know how to hope much I'm gonna
• 42:01
  Speaker 17: take from this Giants game. I know the Giants are
• 42:04
  Speaker 17: they're not the greatest team in the world, but they're
• 42:07
  Speaker 17: an NFL team, so they can still win, they can
• 42:09
  Speaker 17: still lose. So but I mean, the way that we've
• 42:12
  Speaker 17: been dominating them, I'm not gonna say, oh, this is
• 42:14
  Speaker 17: just gonna be a walk in the park. But I
• 42:17
  Speaker 17: think I won't start actually if I have to hit
• 42:19
  Speaker 17: the panic button until we get to Detroit or the
• 42:23
  Speaker 17: forty nine ers, who are really with injuries too. So
• 42:26
  Speaker 17: if we can just make a fight out of every game,
• 42:28
  Speaker 17: if we make if we beat the brakes off of
• 42:31
  Speaker 17: the Giants, like I said, I won't panic about it,
• 42:34
  Speaker 17: but I'll be okay with that, and I'm just kind of, hey,
• 42:38
  Speaker 17: I'm gonna take it one game at the time. So
• 42:39
  Speaker 17: I'm hoping we go to this to the meadowlands and
• 42:42
  Speaker 17: we get out of this without a with without no
• 42:44
  Speaker 17: bumps and scrapes and not losing no players, and I'll
• 42:48
  Speaker 17: take it off ver I'll talk.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: To you later. Yeah, thank you. You know, I appreciate
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the call Lewis, And I'm not I never tell anybody
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: how to be a fan. You can be a fan
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: however you want want to be and a lot and
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: I've seen it a lot, you know. I here in Dallas,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that that are University of
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Texas fans Longhorn fans, and they're and they're they're doing
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: great right now. I've seen years where they would lose
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: to Oklahoma in October and that would be the end
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: of like their season in their mindset because it's like,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna win a national championship. So is what
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: it is. The expectations were high, and midway, even less
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: than midway through the season, you lose and you're not
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: gonna get where you want to go, so you kind
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: of check out or whatever. And I think that is
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: why I always say, you know, I putting these high
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: expectations on your team or whatever, it can be dangerous
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: because when it you know, you lose a game, you
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: lose two in a row. I think a lot of
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: people think, well, that's not this isn't this isn't what
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I expect. We're not changing this twenty nine years or
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: twenty eight years of not making it to the super
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Bowl not happening this year. So I don't care, and
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I just I just don't live that way.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's there's a blessing in a curse being an
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Arkansas Razorback fan, because they'll never really win like I
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: want them to. But every game is fun and unique
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: and you never know what's gonna happen. So I've learned
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: to live week to week. That's the way I do it.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: And again, I not not to offend anyone for cutting
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: off the callers. Whatever you can think how you want,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: but all I hear is it's so hard to get
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: into the show I call, I call, I call, which
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I love and I appreciate, and that that's what makes
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: this show. I think there's too many of those that
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: want to talk about the Giants or want to talk
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: about September football then want to say it's not getting fixed.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: So that's why it's like, all right, we're moving on.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: If that's the best take we've got, let's find somebody else.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: That's the all I'm gonna say about that. All right,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Seth and Sugar Land, Texas.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: What great day to be alive?
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: What a Tuesday?
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: All right? How I'm good man? How are you?
• 45:00
  Speaker 11: That's how good I'm doing today?
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Come on, come on, you can have it.
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: Right now. The challenges are going to be in order
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: to fix the defense, at least in the short term,
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: Mike Zimmer is gonna have to consider going to a
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: five defensive lineman set, and he's gonna have to play
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: the corners in man. I mean, that's it's as simple
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: as that. They need to be playing five down linemen,
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: two linebackers, and if possible, trying to play Micah in
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: a position where he's either playing off the ball linebacker
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: or he's on the interior of the defensive line so
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: he can rush between the guards and the centers because
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: those guys aren't strong enough to be able to handle
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: his speed to power rush. I mean, that's something you
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: can do that can without having to fully sell out
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: with six and seven men run blitches to try and
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: stop in ability to stop the.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Run and five man front is typically I mean, that's
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: kind of what a three to four defense is, right,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's three, but your outside linebackers are
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: a lot a lot of times are on the line
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: rushing and I kind of think that, and it might
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: be it is probably too late for that, but but
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I think Micah would thrive in a three to four.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I think that's who he is, and it's unfortunate he
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: needs to rust the passer, he needs to rush of
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: the passer most of the time, but three four would
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: allow him to kind of float and do that, and
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I think Sam Williams would have been great on the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: other side to do that. Unfortunately he got hurt. But
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: to one of your points though about playing man, I
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: think getting Deron Bland back and he's eligible actually to
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: come back after this Giants game. Not sure he'll be ready,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: but he's eligible for that, and I think he would
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: certainly help. And then their ability to play man right,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: And then one of.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: The challenges is like, and I totally get it from
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: Zimmer's scheme, if you do that, you take Jordan Lewis
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: off the field, who has been one of your best
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: open field packlers all season. He's one of the very
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: two guys who had I'm up and been willing to
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: attack the run, and so I think that would be
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: sort of a casualty of that. And then we talk
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: about the run offense, I mean maybe the toss, like
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: maybe we try to get outside, but I don't think
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: Geydon Terrence Steel is playing. This is a big challenge.
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: The offensive line and defensive line have both had the
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: same issue as nobody playing with confidence to anchor none
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: of them. And hopefully as we're playing the Giants, they're
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: going to be able to start building the confidence. Like
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: Nate Newton says, the offensive line will start to gel.
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: But there are very real problems in that. Excuse me.
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Jack Martin looks human and it's a little scary. Things
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: have been happening to him on the offensive, you know,
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: the offensive side of the ball where he came back
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: for the one more ride. But he doesn't have a
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: lot of help in Terence Steel, who has the least
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: amount of confidence of any of the offensive linemen playing
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: right now. So I mean they're gonna have They're gonna
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: have to throw to be able to run, and there's
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: you can see them starting to do that with the
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: you know, they're starting to bring in the little outcuts,
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: the out and up, the slants, the sluggos. You're starting
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: to see those things, which is gonna give them the
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: opportunity to hopefully play from a ten point lead and
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: then be able to figure out what to do in
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: the running game, which for me, all of our successful
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: runs have come either in you know, outside the guard
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: or outside the tackle. So when I pulled together, it's
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: gonna be a good game with the Giants. Everybody. Just
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: have some fun, get a joy and enjoy it.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'll tell you how they'll get some joys.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Go out there and beat the Giants. Uh, and and
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: have a have a long weekend and get some rest
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: and and and and rest up for a Pittsburgh game.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: But but you got to be two and two. I mean,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: that's that's how that's how they have to be. It's
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: still early in the season and and and a lot
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: of football left to be played. H again, Seth, thanks
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: for the call, and and thanks for you know, the
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: ideas and and and how to fix this thing. What
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: what needs to happen? You know, give some ideas. It
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean the Cowboys are going to do with them, obviously.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people think Dalvin Cook should play.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to happen, but at
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: least have some ideas. I mean, maybe they should try this,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: try that. It's it's it's still at that point in
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: the season where you try stuff. Uh, and you can
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: salvage this. I mean, it's it's what's one and two?
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: They're they're they're one and two right now. Uh. And
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and let's you know see what happens when when they
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: they get some players back. Maybe you know, Deron Bland
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: gets back. I think that will help a lot. Uh,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: maybe those offensive linemens start to gel a little bit,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: and and and and the Cowboys kind of figure out
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: how to write this ship. I think it's possible. We've
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: seen it happen before, and I think it can happen again.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: But again, it starts Thursday night against the Giants. So
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: we'll be back. We won't have a show until Friday.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Friday morning, we'll be back to talk about the Cowboys
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: and the Giants. Thanks for all the calls today, Thanks
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: to Chris Bean. We will see you on Friday on
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Storyline.
