- 0:03Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
- 0:06Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 1: This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
- 0:22Speaker 2: What is up? And it's time for another Cowboys storyline.
- 0:25Speaker 2: This is the final one of the week, the final
- 0:27Speaker 2: one before the Cowboys take on the Giants. Finally, finally,
- 0:32Speaker 2: no more talk about might maybe, perhaps should, could? No,
- 0:37Speaker 2: we get to play a game Sunday night. We don't.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I don't get to play in the game, at least
- 0:42Speaker 2: I don't think. But Cowboys Giants Sunday night. It's gonna
- 0:46Speaker 2: be a fun one. You guys know how this works.
- 0:49Speaker 2: You guys call one eight eight, eight, five five to
- 0:51Speaker 2: two ninety seven or send the text line eight one
- 0:54Speaker 2: seven two nine zero three two nine eight And usually
- 0:58Speaker 2: we just go right through the storyline and then we
- 1:00Speaker 2: get to the calls. The storylines. Are this Cowboys about
- 1:03Speaker 2: to play the Giants? Are they gonna have injuries on
- 1:05Speaker 2: the offensive line? We'll see Tyler Smith banged up right now,
- 1:09Speaker 2: hamstring injury. They're gonna try to work his way into
- 1:11Speaker 2: practice maybe Saturday. We'll see if he's gonna be a
- 1:14Speaker 2: game time decision for Sunday Tyron Smith was popped up
- 1:18Speaker 2: on the injury report with an ankle injury. He left
- 1:21Speaker 2: practice apparently, so he was limited. We'll see what that
- 1:24Speaker 2: looks like today. Again, doesn't take much to be on
- 1:27Speaker 2: the injury report, but because of the nature of the
- 1:29Speaker 2: person and who's next to him at Tyler Smith, we'll
- 1:33Speaker 2: see if this is a bigger deal. Obviously, the Cowboys
- 1:35Speaker 2: don't need injuries like that going into Week one. Sam Williams,
- 1:40Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis, We're gonna continue to monitor those guys as well.
- 1:44Speaker 2: That's really the big storylines there is how healthy are
- 1:46Speaker 2: the Cowboys heading into Week one? All Right? We got
- 1:48Speaker 2: phone lines that we have. The calls are ringing, so
- 1:51Speaker 2: we're gonna go right to it. Here Brock in Jacksonville, Florida,
- 1:54Speaker 2: you're the first up today, Brock. What's up, hey, buddy?
- 1:56Speaker 3: How you doing today?
- 1:57Speaker 2: I'm great, man, How are you?
- 1:59Speaker 4: Another day in Paradise had a quick question going into
- 2:03Speaker 4: the season and the and the madness of the off
- 2:05Speaker 4: season in the preseason, who's one player you think has
- 2:09Speaker 4: slipped under the radar, and who's another player you think
- 2:12Speaker 4: we should probably pump the brakes on. I also had
- 2:15Speaker 4: a suggestion for the random player. Instead of people giving
- 2:18Speaker 4: you a player, they should give you a year and
- 2:21Speaker 4: a number and see if you can guess the player.
- 2:24Speaker 4: So I'll go ahead and start.
- 2:25Speaker 2: We'll do it.
- 2:26Speaker 4: I'm gonna go number number sixty eight on the nineteen
- 2:30Speaker 4: eighty nine roster. I figured, if you need a couple
- 2:32Speaker 4: of hints, Beamer can help you out there in.
- 2:33Speaker 2: The bag nineteen six, the eighty nine You went eighty
- 2:36Speaker 2: nine roster where they had seven hundred players that played
- 2:39Speaker 2: on that year you went, you went that sixty I'm
- 2:41Speaker 2: going to say it was Crawford curve.
- 2:43Speaker 4: That is correct, man, let's get it all right.
- 2:46Speaker 2: I like this game. I like this game, all right, thanks,
- 2:49Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I appreciate the call. That also reminds me.
- 2:52Speaker 2: I don't know if you all play it's. I think
- 2:54Speaker 2: it's called immaculate grid. Man. I'm addicted to that. It's
- 2:58Speaker 2: a for pro football reference. It's got like this Brady
- 3:01Speaker 2: Bunch looking grid with nine and you got to pick
- 3:03Speaker 2: somebody from the you know this team that also played
- 3:06Speaker 2: on this team. It's it's it's ridiculous. I play that
- 3:09Speaker 2: every day, all right. I like that game. That's that's
- 3:12Speaker 2: a fun game, as long as you don't take you
- 3:14Speaker 2: back to like nineteen sixty four or something like that.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Who's under the radar that we're not really talking about that?
- 3:19Speaker 2: That's a that's a good question. I don't know. I mean,
- 3:22Speaker 2: I feel like you when you do shows. I mean
- 3:24Speaker 2: we do seven shows a day, I think maybe eight.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I mean, so everyone's talking about everyone, so it's hard
- 3:28Speaker 2: to go under the radar. But I mean, are we
- 3:32Speaker 2: talking about the Moone Clark enough? Because the Moone Clark
- 3:35Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a wild card to this
- 3:37Speaker 2: whole thing. I really do. I think how he plays
- 3:40Speaker 2: this year could affect everything. If he plays like the
- 3:43Speaker 2: guy that was playing at LSU, who was gonna be
- 3:46Speaker 2: a late first maybe second round pick, that guy was
- 3:48Speaker 2: an animal on the field. And if they got him
- 3:53Speaker 2: and he's got last year under his belt now now
- 3:55Speaker 2: he's ready to just stop thinking and just go react
- 3:58Speaker 2: and play that this could be a game changer for
- 4:00Speaker 2: the defense. So that would be my guy. And then
- 4:03Speaker 2: tap the tap the breaks guy. I don't I don't know.
- 4:08Speaker 2: I'm I'm trying to. I mean, who would be a
- 4:12Speaker 2: tap the breaks guy? I mean, you know what, to
- 4:15Speaker 2: be fair, I mean, let's just say it about Deuce
- 4:17Speaker 2: Vaughan because they're going one hundred miles an hour. Who
- 4:21Speaker 2: knows if he's even going to play. I think he's
- 4:22Speaker 2: going to play in the game, but I mean there's
- 4:24Speaker 2: a lot of talk about what's he going to do
- 4:26Speaker 2: and all that, and I don't know if it's if
- 4:27Speaker 2: it's even carved out yet what his role is going
- 4:30Speaker 2: to be. So I said, we tapped the breaks there,
- 4:32Speaker 2: but not to say in any way am I not excited?
- 4:34Speaker 2: I want to see him play? So I'm not tapping
- 4:37Speaker 2: the breaks, but maybe other people ship. All right, we've
- 4:39Speaker 2: got another call from Odessa. Texts David and Odessa. Anything
- 4:44Speaker 2: going on in Odessa on Friday night tonight?
- 4:47Speaker 5: Uh, well, just a lot of heat and of course
- 4:49Speaker 5: Permian football. You know about that Happy Friday.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:55Speaker 5: I'm really enjoying your your new show, and I enjoyed
- 4:58Speaker 5: your ear broke in the podcast as well.
- 5:02Speaker 6: Uh.
- 5:02Speaker 5: And I had a comment.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Break okay, you got me, you got me the break,
- 5:07Speaker 2: I got it, okay.
- 5:08Speaker 5: Broken broken breaks okay, okay, But I wanted to mention
- 5:13Speaker 5: last week just kind of come to his defense. Uh,
- 5:16Speaker 5: someone kind of sliced and diced Derek a little bit
- 5:19Speaker 5: on that show. I wanted to say, I really like
- 5:23Speaker 5: the way he handles things, you know, Son of the podcasts,
- 5:25Speaker 5: I enjoy all of them, but some of them frustrate
- 5:29Speaker 5: me because they will take five to seven minutes to
- 5:31Speaker 5: actually get to to football to Dallas Cowboys, which people
- 5:36Speaker 5: are tuning in for, and it's a little bit narcissistic.
- 5:39Speaker 5: I think to think that everyone wants to know about
- 5:43Speaker 5: your weekend or you're for your you know, uh, aspirations
- 5:47Speaker 5: when it's a Cowboys podcast. And I like the fact
- 5:50Speaker 5: that every segment he's like, okay, this is you know,
- 5:52Speaker 5: he's focused, He's like, this is our objectives and we're
- 5:54Speaker 5: going to do that, and uh, I like that. And
- 5:57Speaker 5: of course you do the same thing. It's a little
- 5:59Speaker 5: easier I think for you because you're so low. It
- 6:01Speaker 5: would really look narcissistic if you went off on a rant.
- 6:04Speaker 5: But I just I just wanted to say that about him.
- 6:07Speaker 5: I like the way he handles things and straight to business.
- 6:10Speaker 5: But I think it works for some of us.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. And you know, if
- 6:16Speaker 2: you if you have a cowboy question that that that's
- 6:18Speaker 2: good as well. I would say it's always surprising though.
- 6:21Speaker 2: We think that sometimes and we think, oh, no one
- 6:23Speaker 2: cares about and then we'll get stopped by somebody or
- 6:26Speaker 2: they'll they'll tweet and they'll say, yeah, that was funny
- 6:28Speaker 2: that you said this, and some some people do some
- 6:31Speaker 2: people actually do kind of like, you know, a little
- 6:33Speaker 2: bit of the of the lighter side of things. So
- 6:35Speaker 2: there's a balance that you have to just kind of
- 6:37Speaker 2: make it work for everybody. So what's your what's your
- 6:40Speaker 2: take on the game or do you have a question?
- 6:42Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a question. Okay. I love the fact
- 6:46Speaker 5: that we have Mozie and Haigkins because I really think
- 6:49Speaker 5: our deficiency has been in stopping to run and it's
- 6:52Speaker 5: so frustrating because if you can't do that, you really
- 6:55Speaker 5: don't have much of a chance to really hit the
- 6:59Speaker 5: big boys in the playoffs where it counts. Uh. My
- 7:03Speaker 5: question was this the fact that we have them, and
- 7:06Speaker 5: I love that, but now that we are using and
- 7:10Speaker 5: so much so many hybrids and undersized people to help
- 7:15Speaker 5: with the linebacker after our terrible loss of what about
- 7:24Speaker 5: our linebacker over over?
- 7:27Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 7:27Speaker 5: Overshow yeah? Uh but anyway want that kind of play
- 7:31Speaker 5: into UH coaches offensive coordinators saying that basically, you know,
- 7:38Speaker 5: we're undersized there and and run at us more sure,
- 7:42Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm just just curious about that.
- 7:45Speaker 2: I mean that there's a given take. Thanks for the call, David.
- 7:48Speaker 2: There's a give and take when it comes to the linebackers,
- 7:51Speaker 2: when it comes to you know, how do you want
- 7:53Speaker 2: to play? You want to play fast and play you
- 7:55Speaker 2: want to play you know, small ball, it's it's every sport, right,
- 7:58Speaker 2: I mean, do it in basketball? We want to play
- 8:00Speaker 2: with five guards. Okay, that's great. I hope you hope
- 8:03Speaker 2: you don't get you know, need to get a rebound.
- 8:05Speaker 2: I mean, so it works if it works for you
- 8:07Speaker 2: and so and so, if if you can play fast
- 8:09Speaker 2: and quick. Jimmy Johnson used to do it. He wanted
- 8:11Speaker 2: to play really fast, have smaller linebackers, and yeah, you
- 8:14Speaker 2: got to make sure that you don't get run at.
- 8:16Speaker 2: So back to what you said, Hankins, Mozzi Smith, those guys,
- 8:20Speaker 2: the better they are up front, the more that it'll
- 8:23Speaker 2: allow those linebackers to run and free and make plays. So,
- 8:27Speaker 2: all right, we're flying along here. Gary in New Mexico
- 8:30Speaker 2: is our next caller. Gary, what's up, Hey?
- 8:33Speaker 7: Nick? How you doing?
- 8:34Speaker 2: I'm great man, how are you?
- 8:36Speaker 7: I'm good? Quick trivia question and then a quick comment.
- 8:39Speaker 7: All right, all right, Nate Newton nineteen eighty six his
- 8:43Speaker 7: rookie year. What number did he wear?
- 8:46Speaker 2: Sixty seven?
- 8:48Speaker 7: That is correct? And why did he? Who wore number
- 8:51Speaker 7: sixty one?
- 8:52Speaker 2: Jim Cooper?
- 8:54Speaker 8: Yeah, you got it, man, I got one for you.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Hey, I got one for you since all right, this
- 8:58Speaker 2: is real quick. What college has the most players on
- 9:01Speaker 2: the current roster right now? For the Cowboys? What college
- 9:03Speaker 2: has the most guys on this current team? The fifty
- 9:06Speaker 2: three has? Just what college is it has the most?
- 9:10Speaker 2: Do you know?
- 9:11Speaker 7: I have no idea.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I just wanted to throw it out there.
- 9:15Speaker 7: You got to ask me a question from like before,
- 9:17Speaker 7: two thousand before.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Okay, wait, way back when? Okay, get me if you're yeah,
- 9:24Speaker 2: if you're if you're throwing out Jim Cooper you know? Yeah?
- 9:28Speaker 2: All right, well I'll give you one. Then. Who played
- 9:31Speaker 2: next to him? Who played next to him and probably
- 9:33Speaker 2: lined up next to him in some of those team photos.
- 9:35Speaker 2: That's a media guy right now that a lot of
- 9:38Speaker 2: people see on on on the internet. That's right, all
- 9:42Speaker 2: these takes.
- 9:43Speaker 7: All right, Okay, here's my comment. A lot of talk
- 9:48Speaker 7: about all these preseason guys. This game and this season
- 9:51Speaker 7: comes down to one man, and that's Dak Prescott and
- 9:54Speaker 7: how Dak Prescott handles that new offense. And I think
- 9:57Speaker 7: he's going to come out and prove the naysayers wrong.
- 9:59Speaker 7: I think he's gonna have his best season. And I
- 10:01Speaker 7: think this is going to be the year that we
- 10:05Speaker 7: finally get back to the super Bowl. And that's the condition.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Let's just I mean, if we're gonna throw out predictions,
- 10:13Speaker 2: why not, I mean, why not bring it there? I
- 10:14Speaker 2: would love it. If that has his best year, Yes,
- 10:18Speaker 2: if he has his best year, then why not. I
- 10:20Speaker 2: mean that's what it would be. He's had some really
- 10:22Speaker 2: good years. If he has his best year with the
- 10:25Speaker 2: players he's got around him and that number eleven on
- 10:27Speaker 2: the other side of the ball, why not. You gotta
- 10:30Speaker 2: stay healthy. You gotta stay healthy. The quarterback has to
- 10:33Speaker 2: play great. You gotta get lucky, you know, I mean,
- 10:37Speaker 2: you have to get lucky. I mean every team kind
- 10:39Speaker 2: of does. I mean, the other day, we appreciate the call, Gary,
- 10:42Speaker 2: thank thank you so much. The other day there was
- 10:45Speaker 2: a question out there and I used it on Twitter,
- 10:47Speaker 2: and I mean people took it. You know, to all
- 10:50Speaker 2: different levels, but it was what play would in history
- 10:53Speaker 2: would you like to change and stuff like that, you know,
- 10:56Speaker 2: and and you know the catch and the plays after
- 10:58Speaker 2: the catch and stuff like that, dropping the snap in Seattle.
- 11:02Speaker 2: But what we failed to remember sometimes is the years
- 11:06Speaker 2: that did work out, some of the great seasons. There's
- 11:09Speaker 2: plays like that that happened that the other team is like,
- 11:12Speaker 2: you know, I mean that that whole Romo game against Detroit,
- 11:16Speaker 2: the touchdown that passed you through. Well, I mean, there
- 11:18Speaker 2: was a couple of penalties in that game that probably
- 11:21Speaker 2: changed the whole direction of that one. And you can
- 11:23Speaker 2: go back to a lot of different plays like that.
- 11:25Speaker 2: So usually what comes up goes down, But for the
- 11:28Speaker 2: last what twenty seven years, it really hasn't gone up there.
- 11:31Speaker 2: So the answer to that trivia question, by the way,
- 11:35Speaker 2: actually I'm gonna hold off on that. I'm hold on that.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Of course, at this point you can go to the roster.
- 11:40Speaker 2: You could see that. But it is interesting it's at
- 11:43Speaker 2: SEC school. SEC School, what SEC School has actually has
- 11:46Speaker 2: the most players on the Cowboys roster. Right now, all right,
- 11:50Speaker 2: we're gonna go back to the phone line. Michael from Colton, California, Michael,
- 11:55Speaker 2: what is up?
- 11:56Speaker 9: What's going on?
- 11:57Speaker 10: Nick?
- 11:57Speaker 9: Thank you for having me on. A shout out to
- 11:59Speaker 9: the whole Cowboys nation. Happy Friday to everybody. Hey, Nick,
- 12:03Speaker 9: I just want to emphasize, Man, I think that, you know,
- 12:07Speaker 9: our team is all primed and ready. I think we
- 12:09Speaker 9: got a good squad. I think we're all set up,
- 12:11Speaker 9: you know, to do some good things, go deep in
- 12:13Speaker 9: the playoffs. My question is everything lines up, all the
- 12:20Speaker 9: stars line up and all that, and we don't get
- 12:22Speaker 9: past the divisional round again? Do you really think that
- 12:25Speaker 9: Dak Prescott is going to be the man to continue?
- 12:28Speaker 9: You know, they're talking about signing him long term. And
- 12:30Speaker 9: I like Dak Prescott. I'm a big fan of his
- 12:32Speaker 9: coming out of a Mississippi State. I'm a big college
- 12:35Speaker 9: football fan. Man, he was awesome. I wanted him to
- 12:37Speaker 9: take Mississippi State to number one in the nation, you know,
- 12:40Speaker 9: and Mississippi State wasn't too good. But I'm not trying
- 12:43Speaker 9: to make it about Dak Prescott and everything. But I
- 12:45Speaker 9: just want to say, go Cowboys and thank you for
- 12:48Speaker 9: having me on.
- 12:49Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Michael, appreciate it. That's why I love
- 12:53Speaker 2: doing this show. Why this is why I love doing
- 12:58Speaker 2: the covering the Cowboys, because in a span of ninety seconds,
- 13:04Speaker 2: we can have a guy that says, I think Dak's
- 13:07Speaker 2: going to lead this team to the super Bowl, and
- 13:10Speaker 2: then ninety seconds later we can have if he doesn't,
- 13:13Speaker 2: is he going to be the quarterback of this team
- 13:15Speaker 2: next year? That is that is That's what what kind
- 13:19Speaker 2: of drives drives you crazy. But it's also in a
- 13:21Speaker 2: good way, Like, that's what this is everybody's thinking. Everyone's
- 13:24Speaker 2: got different stuff going on in their mind and and
- 13:28Speaker 2: neither one of them are wrong with they're with their
- 13:30Speaker 2: thoughts and and it's just it makes it fun. And
- 13:33Speaker 2: I hope that doesn't hope that makes sense, but it's
- 13:36Speaker 2: just it's it's that's what's so crazy about this. And
- 13:39Speaker 2: you know, I call it the tornado. Really, that's what
- 13:43Speaker 2: That's what this is. It's like when you got hot
- 13:45Speaker 2: air and cold air, two completely different things, just like
- 13:48Speaker 2: a tornado, you mix it together, that's what you get.
- 13:50Speaker 2: That's what this That's what this is. That's what covering
- 13:53Speaker 2: the Cowboys is. That's what it has been for twenty
- 13:55Speaker 2: five years for me, and I love it. So the
- 13:58Speaker 2: answer the question, we just got to see I mean,
- 14:01Speaker 2: every game, every year is different. Is Dak the reason
- 14:05Speaker 2: why they didn't go? I mean, if if they get
- 14:06Speaker 2: all the way up there and don't win, is it
- 14:08Speaker 2: because of Dak? If it is, then maybe you make changes.
- 14:12Speaker 2: I have a hard time thinking that they're gonna make
- 14:14Speaker 2: it far and and not, you know, not get to
- 14:17Speaker 2: over the hump, and it's because of Dak. I don't.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I don't see that happen. I think Dak's gonna be
- 14:22Speaker 2: the quarterback for this team for for years to come.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Here all right, before we go to break one more,
- 14:27Speaker 2: let's go with Joe, Joe and Stanford. You become a regular, Yes, sir,
- 14:34Speaker 2: I'm good man. You Oh my wife, I mean.
- 14:37Speaker 11: My dog just got kicked out of doggy daycare.
- 14:39Speaker 2: So stop stop stop biting.
- 14:46Speaker 10: I mean what we Oh, he's accepted.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Two two words. I didn't think we're gonna be on
- 14:55Speaker 2: the show today, that those two back to back. You
- 14:58Speaker 2: never know, just like I said, ever know what you're
- 15:00Speaker 2: gonna get?
- 15:01Speaker 8: Man?
- 15:01Speaker 2: What's up?
- 15:03Speaker 11: So I'm gonna pick the score. I think our final
- 15:07Speaker 11: score is gonna be thirty one ten. I think they'll
- 15:11Speaker 11: get lucky in score done. But I think our event
- 15:13Speaker 11: is gonna dominate them, all right. I'm gonna say that
- 15:17Speaker 11: our first touchdown of the season is going to be
- 15:19Speaker 11: scored by Jake Ferguson.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Yep.
- 15:23Speaker 11: And at my old school cowboy is Bob Lilly. I
- 15:26Speaker 11: used to go turkey hunting with him when I was
- 15:28Speaker 11: a kid. He used to come to the Rams, lived
- 15:30Speaker 11: on nice.
- 15:32Speaker 2: That's a that's nice. That's a good story. Yeah, that's great. Yeah.
- 15:35Speaker 2: I mean, you know, everyone's got their own cowboy cowboy.
- 15:38Speaker 2: You know, guys, we we had what Jim Cooper and
- 15:42Speaker 2: on the text we have dexter cling scale. But this
- 15:45Speaker 2: is nice to go, you know, let's go with the original,
- 15:47Speaker 2: mister cowboy. So all right, Cowboy? All right, Joe, will
- 15:51Speaker 2: you take it easy?
- 15:52Speaker 12: Man?
- 15:53Speaker 2: Get that dog in line. You know it's not even Wednesday.
- 15:56Speaker 2: I mean, what are we doing here? So all right,
- 15:59Speaker 2: have a good one, do Cowboys is right? Thirty one
- 16:03Speaker 2: to ten was his score. I wasn't going to do that.
- 16:06Speaker 2: We're going to ask every fan to throw out a score,
- 16:09Speaker 2: but I mean can if you want. It's Friday, that's
- 16:11Speaker 2: what we'll do. I'll throw one down here at the
- 16:13Speaker 2: end of the show. Let's let's go to one more
- 16:17Speaker 2: phone call here. I don't like people to hold and wait.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Let's clear up the lines before we go to break.
- 16:21Speaker 2: So Rob in Vegas, Rob, what's up? Man?
- 16:24Speaker 12: Hey?
- 16:24Speaker 13: How are you?
- 16:25Speaker 2: I'm good. Thanks, appreciate it.
- 16:29Speaker 13: You know, I'm looking forward to just seeing the speed
- 16:33Speaker 13: that now we have on offense.
- 16:34Speaker 3: You know, you swap me too.
- 16:36Speaker 13: Seek for Tony Pollard, Brandon Cooks basically takes Noah brown spot.
- 16:43Speaker 13: I mean that's a huge upgrade. And Ferguson, you know, people,
- 16:47Speaker 13: I don't know, people realize he's really a good athlete.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Yes he is.
- 16:51Speaker 13: So I'm just I'm just excited about the speed on
- 16:55Speaker 13: offense and how Mike McCarthy's going to use it. And
- 16:58Speaker 13: I think we're going to see Dak run a little more,
- 17:01Speaker 13: kind of like the last preseason game with Will Greer
- 17:04Speaker 13: where his running was really effective against Seattle. So I'm
- 17:11Speaker 13: just excited about that. I think I think this team
- 17:14Speaker 13: is loaded, no more excuses, I mean, barring injury, Knockwood,
- 17:19Speaker 13: this team is ready to go. They have no weaknesses,
- 17:21Speaker 13: especially on defense, but the two cornerbacks now, so I think, listen,
- 17:27Speaker 13: it's gotta be there year, sooner or later. We waited
- 17:30Speaker 13: since ninety five, So why not this year?
- 17:32Speaker 2: Why not? Why not? Yeah? I appreciate the call, and
- 17:36Speaker 2: you're right about the speed, and the speed is something
- 17:39Speaker 2: that I've been asking for for a long time. I
- 17:41Speaker 2: feel like they're faster than they've ever been at receiver.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks helps with that. A healthier Michael Gallup Ceedee
- 17:48Speaker 2: Lamb can can do kind of whatever you want him
- 17:51Speaker 2: to do. I think I think Turpin is going to
- 17:54Speaker 2: help on offense a little bit more, at least just
- 17:59Speaker 2: being out there from a decoy standpoint. All you have
- 18:01Speaker 2: to do is let him run a couple of times
- 18:03Speaker 2: and then you just put that out there on tape.
- 18:05Speaker 2: But I do think the just how lateral things are
- 18:09Speaker 2: going to be, they're gonna spread things out that will
- 18:11Speaker 2: let Dak, That will open things up for Dak to
- 18:14Speaker 2: run a little bit more, or someone to run the middle.
- 18:18Speaker 2: And the same with Ferguson. And you're right, not everyone
- 18:20Speaker 2: thinks he's athletic. Maybe just that guy that he hurdled.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Was it the Giants game? I believe it was the
- 18:25Speaker 2: Giants game that he hurdled a guy and then plowing
- 18:27Speaker 2: through another one. H that was pretty athletic play. So uh,
- 18:31Speaker 2: I'm excited for what Jake Ferguson can can do this
- 18:34Speaker 2: year as well. All right, let's just keep let's keep
- 18:37Speaker 2: the calls going. Here, Chris in Mississippi.
- 18:42Speaker 10: Truck driver in Mississippi.
- 18:44Speaker 3: That's right, what's up, man? I was gonna ask you.
- 18:49Speaker 3: I vaguely remember. I don't know if anybody picked him up.
- 18:52Speaker 3: That's why I'm calling. Where did all Collins go? I
- 18:55Speaker 3: knew he went to Cincinnati, but he got cut last
- 18:58Speaker 3: year at the end of the year, didn't he.
- 19:01Speaker 2: He got me on that. I don't remember him getting cut,
- 19:04Speaker 2: But I'm not I'm not saying I I you know,
- 19:08Speaker 2: I'm not on Bengals dot Com all the time either.
- 19:11Speaker 2: I'm not joking.
- 19:12Speaker 3: I'm just not I understand that I thought I remember
- 19:16Speaker 3: one of I thought, I thought I remember one of
- 19:20Speaker 3: our guys saying that he got cut, and then that
- 19:22Speaker 3: would like basically the Cowboys vindication that yeah, he was
- 19:26Speaker 3: in the starting tackle. The reason why I'm asking is,
- 19:29Speaker 3: if he's on the street, why don't they go pick
- 19:32Speaker 3: him up and ask him if he wants to play
- 19:33Speaker 3: left guard. I'm pretty sure instead of sitting at home,
- 19:35Speaker 3: he'd rather play left guard because he played left guard
- 19:38Speaker 3: for a while.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I haven't heard of his name one time. I I
- 19:42Speaker 2: don't know this. I just don't think he's available. I
- 19:46Speaker 2: don't I don't know.
- 19:47Speaker 3: This probably been picked up if I had to get.
- 19:49Speaker 2: If I had to guess, I think he would be
- 19:51Speaker 2: as well. And I hate that I don't know that,
- 19:53Speaker 2: but I don't. I know he's not on this roster,
- 19:55Speaker 2: so I you know, I'm not trying to be narcissistic
- 19:58Speaker 2: about it and say like if he's not on the Cowboys,
- 20:01Speaker 2: I don't care. I just don't think he's out there.
- 20:04Speaker 2: I would imagine he's still with Cincinnati and and maybe,
- 20:08Speaker 2: you know, just just trying to get healthy there. But they,
- 20:12Speaker 2: you know, they probably need somebody. We'll see what the
- 20:14Speaker 2: nature of these injuries are. Let's see what they are,
- 20:17Speaker 2: and then we'll you know, I think the Cowboys have
- 20:19Speaker 2: to figure that out too. Just what kind of depth
- 20:22Speaker 2: do they need? Do they need you know, young guys,
- 20:25Speaker 2: young bodies, or do they need somebody who's done it?
- 20:28Speaker 2: And that's if that's the case, you probably have to
- 20:30Speaker 2: go trade for it. You have to give up some
- 20:31Speaker 2: assets to do that. All right, We're gonna stick to
- 20:34Speaker 2: the phone called Don and San Antonio. Don? What's up?
- 20:37Speaker 8: Hey? NTT? Got three things? Okay, when I have a statement,
- 20:43Speaker 8: trivia question, and I want you to guess what you
- 20:47Speaker 8: became a Cowboys fan based on my question? Okay, Uh, First,
- 20:51Speaker 8: I really think we got too sleepers this team. I
- 20:54Speaker 8: think that's Tabart. I think it's San. I think San
- 20:58Speaker 8: is going to surprise everybody. You go watch his Kansas
- 21:01Speaker 8: date highlights. This dude is a smaller version of the
- 21:05Speaker 8: Jean Robinson. He can cut, he hits holes yards after
- 21:10Speaker 8: the catch. He's a sharp, sharp young man. And Tolbert
- 21:14Speaker 8: has proved us wrong last year. I thought, man, this
- 21:17Speaker 8: guy is just a wish out.
- 21:20Speaker 12: Excuse me.
- 21:21Speaker 8: Second thing, I want you to get two things when
- 21:23Speaker 8: I became a Cowboys fan and trivia question. What quarterback
- 21:29Speaker 8: averaged five yards a cherry during your career with Cowboys?
- 21:35Speaker 2: Oh? Which quarterbacks?
- 21:37Speaker 8: Yeah? What quarterback average five yards per carry for their career?
- 21:41Speaker 8: Which Cowboys?
- 21:44Speaker 2: That's a good one. So held on, I'm just trying
- 21:48Speaker 2: to figure out the other part of your question. Tolberdvant
- 21:51Speaker 2: all right, what quarterback man? What I feel like this
- 21:56Speaker 2: is the uh, this could be Eddie Leberon. I don't know.
- 22:02Speaker 2: I really don't know. I mean, I would think you
- 22:04Speaker 2: probably wouldn't say Rogers Strawback. I wouldn't think this would
- 22:07Speaker 2: be the trivia question. So I'm trying to think who
- 22:10Speaker 2: else did that. I would say Eddie Leberon. If that's
- 22:13Speaker 2: the case, then the answer would be nineteen sixty. But
- 22:14Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 22:15Speaker 8: You gotta know, I'm not quite that.
- 22:18Speaker 2: I wouldn't think you were that old. But I mean,
- 22:22Speaker 2: who was average five yards of.
- 22:24Speaker 8: Carrie Dan Dandy don oh really?
- 22:28Speaker 2: Oh yeah?
- 22:29Speaker 8: For his career? And I became a Cowboys fan. What
- 22:33Speaker 8: year I started? I lived in Indiana. I only saw
- 22:36Speaker 8: one Cowboys game? What that would have been in the sixties?
- 22:39Speaker 2: Yeah, sixty seven?
- 22:41Speaker 8: You got it?
- 22:41Speaker 2: All right? Sweet? All right?
- 22:44Speaker 8: Then that was it?
- 22:46Speaker 2: All right? And I'm going to answer that the trivia
- 22:48Speaker 2: question that I threw out earlier about which team, which
- 22:52Speaker 2: college team has the most players on the roster SEC school?
- 22:56Speaker 2: It's a South Carolina of course. South Carolina Game Tucks
- 23:01Speaker 2: have four guys on this roster right now. Rico Daddle,
- 23:06Speaker 2: Israel mccuamous to find Gilmour, Jalen Brooks. Somebody asked me
- 23:12Speaker 2: that last week, and I didn't get there. I mean
- 23:14Speaker 2: I didn't. It just doesn't come up to be. I
- 23:17Speaker 2: don't think of South Carolina, but but I should. And
- 23:21Speaker 2: they're they're a formidable team. All right, let's go to
- 23:23Speaker 2: the callers there. Well, he let me go back to
- 23:26Speaker 2: real quick. I'm sorry, Tolbert and Vaughan. I do agree
- 23:29Speaker 2: with that. I think that that they could be some
- 23:31Speaker 2: wild cards here, especially Vaughn. But he's gonna be exciting
- 23:33Speaker 2: to watch. I don't know exactly what the role will be,
- 23:35Speaker 2: and that's the way the Cowboys want it. They don't
- 23:37Speaker 2: really want you to know what the role is going
- 23:39Speaker 2: to be, but you know it's it's gonna be fun
- 23:41Speaker 2: to see because you know he was doing it in
- 23:43Speaker 2: the Big twelve. He was doing it against Alabama. That
- 23:46Speaker 2: run against Alabama where he's going fifty sixty yards. You
- 23:49Speaker 2: could do it against Alabama. I think that there's some
- 23:52Speaker 2: kind of place for you to do it in the NFL,
- 23:54Speaker 2: and so I can't wait to see that. All right,
- 23:56Speaker 2: back to the calls, Mike in New York, Mike, it,
- 24:00Speaker 2: what's up.
- 24:01Speaker 6: Appreciate the phone call, Appreciate it. I'm looking rare, looking
- 24:05Speaker 6: forward to seeing the post and the Daily News Monday morning.
- 24:09Speaker 2: You're going to the game.
- 24:11Speaker 6: I am going to the game.
- 24:12Speaker 5: Nice nice been going.
- 24:13Speaker 6: The last few years in New York and had good
- 24:15Speaker 6: luck to last couple. So what do you think Jerry
- 24:20Speaker 6: Jones and them are waiting for? You know, they make
- 24:22Speaker 6: you believe every year they go out to get gilmore,
- 24:24Speaker 6: they get these guys to bring in. They trade for land.
- 24:28Speaker 6: But where is the old line help that they just wait,
- 24:31Speaker 6: you know, for an injury to come and then they're
- 24:32Speaker 6: going to see what happens Sunday night. I think they
- 24:34Speaker 6: just got to make a move and stick to it
- 24:36Speaker 6: and and give us other than hope to believe.
- 24:39Speaker 2: So, you know, I I don't know if I agree
- 24:42Speaker 2: with you there on on that one. My and I
- 24:45Speaker 2: say that because you know, they did some research. I mean,
- 24:48Speaker 2: they have put some resources there to it. They they
- 24:52Speaker 2: I don't know if too many doga is the answer.
- 24:54Speaker 2: I mean, but but but he was. He's a veteran
- 24:57Speaker 2: guy that they thought they could kind of plug in
- 24:59Speaker 2: there and do some things. They've They've drafted a couple,
- 25:02Speaker 2: you know, they they have drafted in the middle rounds
- 25:05Speaker 2: with the last three years in a row. Now that
- 25:07Speaker 2: fourth fifth round. But they're they're drafting, they try to develop.
- 25:11Speaker 2: They're trying to develop Josh Ball, They're trying to develop
- 25:13Speaker 2: Matt will Let's Go They're trying to develop Awesome Richards.
- 25:16Speaker 2: So I mean, I I don't know if I if
- 25:19Speaker 2: I they have starters in place, they've got some younger
- 25:22Speaker 2: guys and hoping that those guys would hit. I mean
- 25:24Speaker 2: that they have developed Tyler Biattis into a starter. I
- 25:27Speaker 2: think it's not out of the question to think they
- 25:29Speaker 2: could have done that with well, Let's Go Ball, Awesome Richards.
- 25:33Speaker 2: It just hasn't really developed so far with Josh Ball yet.
- 25:37Speaker 6: Right, But I agree with the development parts. Sometimes you
- 25:41Speaker 6: need that veteran like you said, to come in and
- 25:43Speaker 6: maybe where you're taking all the line of eating Sometimes,
- 25:47Speaker 6: you know, like going into Sunday night with some injuries,
- 25:49Speaker 6: you know, you don't mind plugging the guy who you
- 25:51Speaker 6: feel a little bit more confident. Then why would just
- 25:53Speaker 6: go with the with the young guys?
- 25:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you would You would like that. You
- 25:56Speaker 2: would like to have that guy sitting there and waiting
- 25:58Speaker 2: in the wings. You know, like like a few years ago,
- 26:01Speaker 2: Doug Free was there and he was ready to go.
- 26:03Speaker 2: But he was a guy that drafted in the fourth
- 26:05Speaker 2: round and developed. I mean, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
- 26:09Speaker 2: That's why I always say, and thanks for the call, Mike.
- 26:11Speaker 2: I appreciate it. It's why I was luck the trade
- 26:15Speaker 2: with Trey Lance a couple weeks ago. They gave a
- 26:17Speaker 2: fourth round pick. Fourth round picks to me, I mean,
- 26:20Speaker 2: they're just they're just hit or miss, and you don't look.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Look no farther than twenty sixteen Dak Prescott, franchise quarterback.
- 26:27Speaker 2: But they did not take him first in that round.
- 26:28Speaker 2: They took Charles Tapper, who didn't make the team, or
- 26:32Speaker 2: he did make the team, sorry he played a year.
- 26:33Speaker 2: He just didn't did really stick, didn't develop. Fourth round picks.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Some of them are great, some of them are are forgettable.
- 26:41Speaker 2: All right, we're not taking any breaks right now. We're
- 26:44Speaker 2: rolling through here with another phone call Chris and Indy. Chris,
- 26:49Speaker 2: what's up?
- 26:51Speaker 12: Nick? Your shows blowing up?
- 26:53Speaker 14: Man?
- 26:53Speaker 12: I literally called every day trying to get on and
- 26:56Speaker 12: it's busy, busy, busy, busy busy.
- 26:59Speaker 8: Wow.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Well, thank you, thank you, and I appreciate to you.
- 27:04Speaker 2: I'll just say it to you, just like I'm saying
- 27:06Speaker 2: to everyone. You know this is this is y'all show.
- 27:08Speaker 2: I want to hear from you guys. I can't wait
- 27:10Speaker 2: to hear from you guys on Monday. I mean, we're
- 27:12Speaker 2: going to go overtime on Monday, win or lose or
- 27:18Speaker 2: with all right, all right, Chris, we'll get we'll get
- 27:21Speaker 2: after it, get after it.
- 27:23Speaker 12: But the question, the answer from your earlier what college
- 27:29Speaker 12: South Carolina?
- 27:29Speaker 2: It is? Believe yeah, I mean at least three from Michigan. Yeah,
- 27:36Speaker 2: it would have to be second there.
- 27:38Speaker 12: We got four from South Carolina? Is that right?
- 27:41Speaker 2: Four from South Carolina. I'm hearing that there's four from Michigan,
- 27:44Speaker 2: And I mean, are we counting Sean McEwan, who's not
- 27:47Speaker 2: on the roster. So Sean McEwan, Uh, he's on the
- 27:51Speaker 2: practice squad. That's why. That's why the thing works. But
- 27:53Speaker 2: Sean McEwan, Mazzie Smith Schoonmaker, and Jordan lewis also for
- 27:58Speaker 2: from from Michigan. But as it's right now, Sean mckown
- 28:01Speaker 2: is not. So that's why South Carolina gets to win.
- 28:03Speaker 12: But uh, but yeah, the big players in the game
- 28:07Speaker 12: tight our tight ends always killed the Giants. It's gonna
- 28:10Speaker 12: be the further shot hendershots from ten miles from where
- 28:15Speaker 12: I lived and where he went the high school last
- 28:18Speaker 12: so he was a sudden high school tender shot and
- 28:20Speaker 12: Ferguson they're gonna make big play that nobody's talked about
- 28:23Speaker 12: all week, you know.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people talking about the other tight
- 28:26Speaker 2: end for the Giants, that Darren Waller what he's going
- 28:29Speaker 2: to provide. But yeah, I mean, we'll see what these
- 28:32Speaker 2: tight ends have done. We'll do as well. Because you
- 28:35Speaker 2: can't cover everybody, you can't. You can't cover them all.
- 28:38Speaker 2: And I think they've got some athletic ability to go
- 28:41Speaker 2: down the field. And you know, I think Schoonmaker is
- 28:43Speaker 2: going to be a guy in about three or four weeks,
- 28:46Speaker 2: is going to really be somebody that's like, oh, you know,
- 28:49Speaker 2: really glad what we got him. I think he's going
- 28:50Speaker 2: to provide some depth there because he's got the size
- 28:54Speaker 2: that he's going to be a blocker, but also he
- 28:56Speaker 2: thinks can make some plays.
- 28:58Speaker 12: I think you that's what I was going to say.
- 28:59Speaker 12: I think this week might me a big week with blocker,
- 29:01Speaker 12: depending on Tyrone's ankle, where Piler's string out, West scare.
- 29:07Speaker 10: Me without.
- 29:10Speaker 12: And Leonard Williams and Dexter Lawrence.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, definitely yeah.
- 29:15Speaker 12: Great, Joe, Nick, love it, love it, love it. I'm
- 29:18Speaker 12: going to text on Monday about the sleep Flaker too,
- 29:21Speaker 12: all right, hey, let's.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I will. I'd like to see that
- 29:25Speaker 2: as well. You know how much I want to see
- 29:27Speaker 2: the fleet Flicker first play, first play the game. I would.
- 29:31Speaker 2: I would not hate, I just would. The internet will
- 29:34Speaker 2: blow up, the Internet will blow up.
- 29:35Speaker 12: The rest of the games. I'd probably just pass out
- 29:38Speaker 12: right there on the spot.
- 29:39Speaker 2: My phone will break if that happens, my phone will break.
- 29:43Speaker 2: But it'll be a good thing. All right, all right, man,
- 29:45Speaker 2: thank you. Before we go back to the phone line,
- 29:46Speaker 2: I'm going to at least at least get one text
- 29:48Speaker 2: line question in here. I definitely want to get one.
- 29:50Speaker 2: This is from Steve Williams from Charlotte, North Carolina, not
- 29:55Speaker 2: doctor Death, Steve Williams, the old wrestler. Now I'm probably
- 29:57Speaker 2: not all right. Steve Williams, Charlotte, North Carolina. Do you
- 30:00Speaker 2: I think Dak will come out firing like he did
- 30:02Speaker 2: against Tampa a couple of years ago. He might have to.
- 30:05Speaker 2: He might have to, remember he didn't play that whole offseason.
- 30:09Speaker 2: He's coming off the the ankle surgery and then he
- 30:13Speaker 2: had he had another arm issue, shoulder arm issue for
- 30:19Speaker 2: all of training camp. But he came out and yeah,
- 30:20Speaker 2: they threw the ball around, almost won that game. Didn't
- 30:23Speaker 2: want to run a lot up the middle. That was
- 30:25Speaker 2: kind of the game plan. And I think this team
- 30:27Speaker 2: is built more like that now to go board the outside.
- 30:31Speaker 2: It's that speed we're talking about. You got to get
- 30:33Speaker 2: these people running sideline the sideline. So I do think
- 30:36Speaker 2: that he'll he'll do that and come out firing. All right,
- 30:40Speaker 2: Going back to the phone lines, we're gonna go with
- 30:42Speaker 2: to Tacoma, Washington. Maurice, what's up? I'm great and you great.
- 30:51Speaker 10: Greg have some really good questions in today, but I
- 30:54Speaker 10: want to scale it back a little bit. Okay, you're
- 30:56Speaker 10: gonna be the man, and Jerry comes to you and
- 30:59Speaker 10: he tells you, he said, listen, I want to be
- 31:01Speaker 10: Super Bowl champions by the end of the season, and
- 31:03Speaker 10: I want you to be able to make one move.
- 31:05Speaker 10: Go take my first round draft pick, and go find
- 31:08Speaker 10: me the best player we need in any position on
- 31:11Speaker 10: the team. And I was curious to know what position
- 31:13Speaker 10: would you be trying to feel?
- 31:15Speaker 2: Hmm, we're losing next year's one, right, next year's one
- 31:19Speaker 2: to go get a veteran player or an established player, right. Yes,
- 31:25Speaker 2: well I'm not going to name the player, I mean,
- 31:26Speaker 2: because you know, we get into tampering issues there. But
- 31:30Speaker 2: but we can, but we can, we can, you can
- 31:33Speaker 2: say whatever you want, you could. I'll throw about to
- 31:35Speaker 2: you first. I'll throw it to you first. Let me
- 31:37Speaker 2: think about it. But who do you have in mind?
- 31:41Speaker 10: Well, I'm kind of I'm kind of curious to make
- 31:44Speaker 10: sure that we would get this left tackle position figured out,
- 31:47Speaker 10: but I would also be looking for a player that
- 31:49Speaker 10: might be able to play a little bit of both
- 31:51Speaker 10: left tackle and left guard if we needed that position
- 31:55Speaker 10: flex there. I'm not really sure, but I like a
- 31:58Speaker 10: tackle that had Philadelphia has over there, And yeah, I'm
- 32:03Speaker 10: just curious to know maybe he might be a good option.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, when you when you're talking about
- 32:10Speaker 2: the scenario that you are with a first round pick,
- 32:13Speaker 2: you know you're gonna trade. It's kind of like when
- 32:15Speaker 2: they traded for Mari Cooper, Like they traded for him
- 32:18Speaker 2: with the idea that they he could be here for
- 32:20Speaker 2: a little bit, you know, now they thought he might
- 32:22Speaker 2: be here longer, but you know, you're not going to
- 32:25Speaker 2: trade a first round pick someone that's just going to
- 32:27Speaker 2: be rent a player. It's gonna be somebody that's gonna
- 32:29Speaker 2: be here for a few years. And you know, you
- 32:32Speaker 2: got me thinking around the roster, and I get a
- 32:35Speaker 2: little bit more excited about this team because when you
- 32:37Speaker 2: go through and you're like, okay, where do you need?
- 32:39Speaker 2: You look at defense, at the corner, like, I think
- 32:41Speaker 2: we're good there, a safety, you know, linebacker, like probably
- 32:44Speaker 2: wouldn't trade a first round pick for a linebacker. I
- 32:46Speaker 2: got some young guys. And then defensive line, you're like,
- 32:49Speaker 2: now we just got a first round pick, Mazie, and
- 32:51Speaker 2: then the ends are loaded. Now you go to offense,
- 32:54Speaker 2: I mean who I mean, like really like where I mean,
- 32:58Speaker 2: you're you're right, offensive line. You're not trade for a
- 33:00Speaker 2: kicker in the first round, so you know you're gonna
- 33:03Speaker 2: trade a running back. I wouldn't. I would just draft
- 33:06Speaker 2: one in the first round if you're gonna do that.
- 33:07Speaker 2: So I would say offensive line, And I think this
- 33:12Speaker 2: team is better than I thought it was ninety seconds
- 33:15Speaker 2: ago because of that little because of that little you know,
- 33:19Speaker 2: that little test you gave me that I think right
- 33:22Speaker 2: there this team is better than I thought. Wow, you
- 33:23Speaker 2: got me even more excited. I'm ready. All right, Marie,
- 33:28Speaker 2: have a good one. All right. You know we're flying
- 33:32Speaker 2: around like, like, what's cool?
- 33:33Speaker 5: Do is?
- 33:33Speaker 2: I see these names and I just think of the map.
- 33:36Speaker 2: I mean, we're really literally all over the map here.
- 33:39Speaker 2: We're guys going to the game in New York. We
- 33:41Speaker 2: got to go to Washington. We got a lot here
- 33:42Speaker 2: in Texas. New Mexico is where we're gonna go next.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Kent from Las Cruces, New Mexico. It's the state I've
- 33:49Speaker 2: never been. It's a bordering state and I've never been
- 33:51Speaker 2: to New Mexico. That's weird to me, but I've never
- 33:54Speaker 2: been there, Kent, what's up?
- 33:56Speaker 12: Hey?
- 33:58Speaker 2: How are you?
- 34:00Speaker 15: I'm doing well?
- 34:00Speaker 12: Hey.
- 34:01Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 34:01Speaker 15: I'm really interested to see how Mike comes out of
- 34:04Speaker 15: the gate. I think he's going to come out with
- 34:07Speaker 15: like his hair on fire. I think he's come out
- 34:09Speaker 15: to prove it points this year.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. His hair has been on fire since
- 34:13Speaker 2: he started training camp. He's just been held back.
- 34:16Speaker 15: Yeah yeah, I don't know how much he got held back.
- 34:21Speaker 15: There were days I thought that the offensive line was
- 34:24Speaker 15: going to pay for him to have a vacation just
- 34:26Speaker 15: to get him off the field for while.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Well, yeah, right, I mean he was unblockable and uh
- 34:32Speaker 2: you know, or they did hold him, you know, he
- 34:35Speaker 2: was just kind of sitting there next to next to Dak.
- 34:37Speaker 2: I said this the other day. Well, well i'll get
- 34:43Speaker 2: your quest. You have another question.
- 34:45Speaker 15: What do you think is going to happen here?
- 34:47Speaker 11: Coming down?
- 34:48Speaker 15: We see what Burrows just got at fifty five million
- 34:51Speaker 15: a year, and now you got Nick Mosa at thirty
- 34:52Speaker 15: four million a year. I'm concerned that the Cowboys when
- 34:57Speaker 15: they try to restructure Dak and then once Mike gets
- 35:00Speaker 15: his bag, how are they going to make that work?
- 35:03Speaker 15: Get him and CD?
- 35:05Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. Yeah, the guy, the guy that actually
- 35:12Speaker 2: does the salary cap stuff doesn't have any hair. If so,
- 35:15Speaker 2: he would be pulling it, would be pulling it out.
- 35:17Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how that works, man,
- 35:19Speaker 2: But but they'll they'll figure it out, you know, they
- 35:21Speaker 2: always do. And I don't think Dak will get the
- 35:24Speaker 2: money that Burrow got. I don't I don't think that.
- 35:27Speaker 2: I mean it's a different scenario, different situation too, you know, younger,
- 35:32Speaker 2: not as accomplished either. So I don't know if Burrow
- 35:37Speaker 2: will affect Dak as much as somebody. But but there's
- 35:39Speaker 2: other other contracts that are already out there that that
- 35:41Speaker 2: will affect Dak. Nick Moosa is going to affect Michael Parsons.
- 35:45Speaker 2: I mean that deal does. I got to sit down
- 35:47Speaker 2: with Stephen Jones yesterday and he was saying, I bet
- 35:50Speaker 2: you know Mike is really happy about it and smiling.
- 35:53Speaker 2: And I asked him back, I said, are you And
- 35:54Speaker 2: he was like, well, I'm not. I don't know want
- 35:56Speaker 2: to answer that. I mean, I don't think it's going
- 35:58Speaker 2: to be easy. They know that guys to pay a
- 36:00Speaker 2: lot for Michael Parsons. But you know, like you just said,
- 36:03Speaker 2: if he comes out and plays the way you think
- 36:05Speaker 2: he's going to play, you'll pay for it because it's
- 36:07Speaker 2: worth it, because not everybody has a number eleven. Michael
- 36:10Speaker 2: Parsons and the Cowboys do all right. Darren in New
- 36:13Speaker 2: Jersey is the next caller, Darren?
- 36:15Speaker 10: What is up, hey, Nick?
- 36:17Speaker 16: How you doing?
- 36:17Speaker 5: I appreciate the call?
- 36:19Speaker 16: Probably listen since like five or six. I think when
- 36:23Speaker 16: I can sneak in time during.
- 36:25Speaker 4: School, so cool, my random player that I.
- 36:29Speaker 16: Always associate you, and just the lunch break is Kevin Ogletree, those.
- 36:33Speaker 12: Are always fun years listening to you.
- 36:37Speaker 4: With a little bit of weather, that's.
- 36:39Speaker 16: Not going to be all that great probably. I wonder
- 36:42Speaker 16: if the kicking situation is going to be not so perfect,
- 36:46Speaker 16: and how long of a leash he may have for
- 36:49Speaker 16: the next couple of weeks.
- 36:50Speaker 2: If he mentioned a couple of them, all right, thanks
- 36:53Speaker 2: for the call. I don't know how long that leash
- 36:54Speaker 2: he is. I don't know if it's a couple of weeks,
- 36:56Speaker 2: be honest with you. He's a rookie kicker, hasn't done
- 36:58Speaker 2: a lot. Depends what happened. I don't want to throw
- 37:01Speaker 2: negative vibes out there, but you know, the games are
- 37:03Speaker 2: going to come down to kicks, and and he's got
- 37:06Speaker 2: to he's got to be he's got to make more
- 37:08Speaker 2: kicks than he doesn't. I mean, if he misses a kick,
- 37:11Speaker 2: offset it with a make. I mean, right now, they
- 37:13Speaker 2: have confidence in him. If you go and you miss
- 37:16Speaker 2: two field goals or missing field goal and an extra
- 37:19Speaker 2: point and that's really it, then that the confidence is
- 37:22Speaker 2: not there. You know, miss a field goal from thirty
- 37:25Speaker 2: eight yards, hit a fifty four yard or right before
- 37:28Speaker 2: the half, things can kind of change. I mean, you
- 37:30Speaker 2: got to buy yourself time. You buy yourself time with
- 37:32Speaker 2: making kicks and so and making sure your kickoffs are
- 37:35Speaker 2: on the money and all that. So right now he's there.
- 37:39Speaker 2: You know, if things go sour, you know, the Cowboys
- 37:43Speaker 2: will probably react. I don't think they're going to wait
- 37:45Speaker 2: really long on this. But right now he's got his
- 37:48Speaker 2: opportunity and that's the best that he could hope for.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Kevin Ogletree, Yeah, we talked about him yesterday going up
- 37:55Speaker 2: to New York. Had a great game. I got another story.
- 37:57Speaker 2: We're a little overtime. Got a great Kevin Glcree story.
- 38:00Speaker 2: I'll say it quickly. He'd got here his first year.
- 38:04Speaker 2: The guys were, you know, the work in the operations
- 38:06Speaker 2: department getting on to him. You got to get your
- 38:09Speaker 2: driver's license renewed. Man, you have like a new Jersey license.
- 38:12Speaker 2: You got to get your Texas license. I've been harping,
- 38:14Speaker 2: they've been harping on it. He never did. He never did.
- 38:17Speaker 2: And he finally gets pulled out of the parking lot
- 38:19Speaker 2: and the cops pull him over, has a suspended license.
- 38:23Speaker 2: He ends up going to jail for that day for
- 38:27Speaker 2: like an hour, gets bailed out of jail by who
- 38:30Speaker 2: Tony Romo? Tony Romo, I don't know how he saw it.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Drove there, went there, paid for him, got him out.
- 38:35Speaker 2: He's like, I need this guy practice. I can't be
- 38:38Speaker 2: sitting there in jail. So he got his license the
- 38:40Speaker 2: next day. Stuff that happens. That's a funny story. Oh
- 38:42Speaker 2: my god, these calls. I've better shut up with the
- 38:45Speaker 2: with the stories and get to these calls. All right,
- 38:47Speaker 2: Jamal in Alabama? What's up, Jamal?
- 38:51Speaker 10: How's it going on? Man?
- 38:52Speaker 2: Great?
- 38:52Speaker 10: You good?
- 38:54Speaker 8: Good? Congratulations on the new show man.
- 38:56Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
- 38:57Speaker 10: Yeah, I also want to see you on the brief
- 38:59Speaker 10: here nine to you know.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Darry has chamis, Yeah, well we do. We definitely do it.
- 39:05Speaker 2: I filled in the other day but because Derek wasn't there.
- 39:08Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm sure I'll be. I'm sure I'll be
- 39:10Speaker 2: on the show with Derek at some point that that
- 39:13Speaker 2: we have not done our last show. I promise you
- 39:15Speaker 2: that Qris and I get for you.
- 39:17Speaker 8: Do you think they're gonna try to treat Tovid like
- 39:20Speaker 8: they did Fourth Receiver in the pay So you.
- 39:23Speaker 10: Think they're gonna make a real desk to give him
- 39:25Speaker 10: some plenty of time on the field and.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Four receiver said, yeah, I think thanks, Jamal. I think
- 39:32Speaker 2: you know, it dependsally the fourth receiver is. You know,
- 39:35Speaker 2: like like a couple of years ago, Cedric Wilson was
- 39:38Speaker 2: the fourth receiver and he got on their field quite
- 39:40Speaker 2: a bit enough to think, you know, we need to
- 39:42Speaker 2: get him as the third receiver next year. And then
- 39:44Speaker 2: he got paid, so, uh, he got on there quite
- 39:47Speaker 2: a bit. Noah Brown would get in there some. I
- 39:50Speaker 2: think if you make plays, you make plays, and that
- 39:52Speaker 2: that's really gonna be up to him. It's up to
- 39:53Speaker 2: him to see how much he's involved in the offense.
- 39:57Speaker 2: If you're not really in there, you're just running around,
- 39:59Speaker 2: you really one of a special teams guy, then then
- 40:02Speaker 2: they won't use them. But if you're on the field
- 40:04Speaker 2: and you make plays and you're somebody that that trusts,
- 40:06Speaker 2: then I think you're going to be a fourth receiver.
- 40:08Speaker 2: That that could be a third and you know, or
- 40:12Speaker 2: a second if guys get get hurt. So really that
- 40:14Speaker 2: question is up to Jaalen Tolbert. If he's ready for
- 40:17Speaker 2: the challenge. I think he is. All Right, We're going
- 40:19Speaker 2: to go really far on this next one here all
- 40:22Speaker 2: the way to France, Philippe in France, what is up?
- 40:25Speaker 8: Hi?
- 40:25Speaker 14: Hey, I'm good you Yeah, I'm fine. You're sure he's
- 40:30Speaker 14: all over with the world. All right, I just have
- 40:34Speaker 14: a question in the school prediction, I'll be fast rookie
- 40:38Speaker 14: versus rookie Mazzi, Mazzie, this is the Woljiman Center.
- 40:45Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 40:47Speaker 14: My school prediction is Cowboys thirty one, Giants thirteen thirty
- 40:53Speaker 14: one thirteen.
- 40:54Speaker 8: All right, thank you, bye bye Cowboys.
- 40:58Speaker 2: All right, thank you so much. Sounds like he's in France.
- 41:02Speaker 2: I mean that that sounds like that's on the different
- 41:04Speaker 2: continent there. But still understood what he said. I think
- 41:07Speaker 2: I think his question was Mazzi smith there against the
- 41:09Speaker 2: giant center. Who wins that battle? Uh? You know, Mazzi,
- 41:14Speaker 2: you don't have to win everyone, but but the thing
- 41:16Speaker 2: about that position is you can't lose. Okay. Tying is
- 41:20Speaker 2: is good for defensive tackles. Winning is Aaron Donald, That's
- 41:25Speaker 2: what winning. I mean, you win, you get to the line.
- 41:27Speaker 2: You're disruptive. Tying is You're not gonna kick my ass
- 41:31Speaker 2: five yards back here. I'm gonna hold my ground on
- 41:33Speaker 2: the double team or whatever. You know. You know, that's
- 41:35Speaker 2: that's what it. If you could tie tie him up,
- 41:38Speaker 2: that you're doing your job. That's what you're supposed to do,
- 41:40Speaker 2: is clog the middle. So I think he'll do a
- 41:42Speaker 2: good job. I think Mozzie Smith is better than people
- 41:45Speaker 2: think he is right now, and I think he's gonna
- 41:47Speaker 2: be a lot better as time goes on. Here, Justin
- 41:51Speaker 2: and Loveck next call, getting to the end here, what's up? Yes, sir,
- 41:56Speaker 2: I'm great. How are you great?
- 41:59Speaker 12: Man?
- 42:00Speaker 17: They had a follow up question from Maurice, and then
- 42:03Speaker 17: I have an over under Okay, over under three sacks
- 42:07Speaker 17: for MACA this week?
- 42:08Speaker 2: Three three? Oh, man? I mean just for fun, I
- 42:14Speaker 2: mean we'll say, I'll say under. But if I'm wrong,
- 42:19Speaker 2: I'm let me just write the story right now that
- 42:22Speaker 2: on Wednesday, the Micah Parsons has been named NTC Defensive
- 42:25Speaker 2: Player of the Week, because that's gonna happen if you
- 42:27Speaker 2: get more than three sacks.
- 42:29Speaker 4: I got three.
- 42:30Speaker 17: I got three against.
- 42:31Speaker 2: Neil love It. That's that would be great.
- 42:34Speaker 17: And then the Maurice question follow up the gentleman that
- 42:40Speaker 17: we were just speaking about, what would what would you
- 42:44Speaker 17: take or give up for a number ninety nine?
- 42:47Speaker 2: Yeah? Who's your guy?
- 42:50Speaker 15: Uh?
- 42:51Speaker 17: Well, number ninety nine that plays on the on the
- 42:53Speaker 17: West Coast.
- 42:54Speaker 2: I got it, I got.
- 42:55Speaker 17: I think that try not to give us some trouble.
- 42:58Speaker 17: I think that we if we were able to get
- 43:00Speaker 17: something like that, and we already have a great defensive line. Yeah,
- 43:05Speaker 17: but you know Jerry Jones and those war daddies as
- 43:08Speaker 17: he likes to call them.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
- 43:10Speaker 17: That that would be something that puts us in an
- 43:13Speaker 17: eighty five Bears defense category.
- 43:16Speaker 2: Yep, that would be good. That would be Yeah. Somebody
- 43:19Speaker 2: like that would certainly be a game changer. I think
- 43:21Speaker 2: I already mentioned his name on the last of the
- 43:23Speaker 2: last caller, So yeah, I think the Cowboys would take
- 43:26Speaker 2: that move ad all day, if you get what I'm
- 43:30Speaker 2: saying there. All right, I think there's a that's probably
- 43:33Speaker 2: the end of the calls here. I'm sure the phones
- 43:35Speaker 2: will keep ringing, But we got to get out here
- 43:37Speaker 2: because Cowboys break's coming up here in just a few minutes.
- 43:39Speaker 2: They got to flip the show, flip all this cool
- 43:41Speaker 2: graphics inside. I will say this, I'll throw my score
- 43:44Speaker 2: out there. I think it's gonna be low scoring, a
- 43:46Speaker 2: little bit low scoring, because I think the defenses are
- 43:48Speaker 2: both really good the rain might be a factor here.
- 43:51Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Cowboys twenty three fourteen. That is my score,
- 43:55Speaker 2: twenty three to fourteen. And a question we are asking
- 43:57Speaker 2: people for the show will put on for pop? Who's
- 44:00Speaker 2: gonna score the first touchdown of the season. My caller
- 44:05Speaker 2: said the same thing earlier today, and I agree with him.
- 44:09Speaker 2: I think I'm going with Jake Ferguson. I'm Jake Ferguson.
- 44:12Speaker 2: Is my guys that scored the first touchdown of the season. Man,
- 44:16Speaker 2: what a fun show? Sixteen calls? Is that right? That's unbelievable.
- 44:19Speaker 2: You guys are awesome. I can't wait to hear from
- 44:21Speaker 2: you guys on Monday Cowboys and Giants Sunday night. It's
- 44:25Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of fun. Can't wait to come
- 44:27Speaker 2: back and do the show. Chris Beam, thank you so
- 44:29Speaker 2: much for running the board for me. I'm Nick Eatman.
- 44:31Speaker 2: We will see you next week on Cowboys Storyline.
- 44:34Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 44:38Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
