- 0:37Speaker 2: Chris you when you call the eight eight eight.
- 0:39Speaker 3: They always get the same Chris when they call.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Do they do? They do? They do? Consistency. I love
- 0:44Speaker 2: it about consistency. Eight eight eight A five five to
- 0:47Speaker 2: two nine seven. That number has been consistent for like
- 0:49Speaker 2: twenty five years, so that that's been our number there
- 0:53Speaker 2: to call. Talk to, Chris, don't be long winded. Let's
- 0:56Speaker 2: talk on the show. Let's have some fun. Let's talk
- 0:58Speaker 2: some Cowboys football. Yeah, they get in the playoffs. If
- 1:01Speaker 2: you find the formula, let me know, all right, let's
- 1:04Speaker 2: just get that right after it. Danny Henderson, Nevada and Danny,
- 1:07Speaker 2: what's up?
- 1:09Speaker 4: Born and neck?
- 1:10Speaker 2: How are you all right?
- 1:14Speaker 4: I'm pretty much over the last week's game. I just
- 1:17Speaker 4: want to talk about Pickings for a minute. Everyone's kind
- 1:20Speaker 4: of on him for his route running and getting on
- 1:22Speaker 4: him for one bad game possibly, but most of the
- 1:26Speaker 4: year we've been praising him and he's their best receiver
- 1:30Speaker 4: in the league. So I want Pickings on the team
- 1:32Speaker 4: and CD as well, so I don't find too much
- 1:37Speaker 4: to criticize him for. Defensively, I'd like to see us
- 1:41Speaker 4: maybe make adjustments after halftime. It seemed like we didn't.
- 1:45Speaker 4: I thought we were putting pressure on Golf in the
- 1:48Speaker 4: beginning of the game with five down linemen and he
- 1:51Speaker 4: was having to spike the ball, and I wish we
- 1:53Speaker 4: would have continue that. And I just kind of think
- 1:56Speaker 4: our defensive line is the best thing that we have
- 1:58Speaker 4: on our team right now, so let's just live and
- 2:02Speaker 4: die by it. And I would rather go five downlinemen
- 2:06Speaker 4: if we can more often and see what happens. And
- 2:08Speaker 4: that's all I have for today.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Okay, and have a good day, all right. Thanks you
- 2:13Speaker 2: say that you wish they would have made adjustments. I mean,
- 2:17Speaker 2: it was twenty seven to nine the Lions before they
- 2:21Speaker 2: got the ball back, because they only scored after that interception,
- 2:26Speaker 2: and then it's twenty seven to nine, and then Cowboys
- 2:29Speaker 2: cut it thirty twenty seven in the fourth quarter, So
- 2:33Speaker 2: you know, I feel like they've made some adjustments, so
- 2:35Speaker 2: they at least kept them out from scoring. I know
- 2:38Speaker 2: the Lions had a field goal block, so you know,
- 2:41Speaker 2: the Cowboys did at least hold him out there. But
- 2:44Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they were moving a lot now.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And then in the fourth quarter they got back to
- 2:49Speaker 2: the Just Gibbs was unbelievable. Just his versatility was off
- 2:55Speaker 2: the chart. I mean, I really, I said it the
- 2:57Speaker 2: other day. I'll say it again. I mean, I think
- 2:58Speaker 2: it's his closest thing that I can remember seeing as
- 3:01Speaker 2: Marshall fulk being that that kind of dynamic player and
- 3:05Speaker 2: that you can put out of the backfield and and
- 3:08Speaker 2: just line up at receiver and he could just make plays.
- 3:11Speaker 2: You just find the mismatch. And there's I mean, cowboys
- 3:14Speaker 2: best corner there is darn Bland, and we saw what
- 3:18Speaker 2: happened to him. You know, he can't stay on his feet,
- 3:20Speaker 2: So just an absolute mismatch nightmare. I thought the Cowboys
- 3:26Speaker 2: made some adjustments, obviously not enough there at the end,
- 3:28Speaker 2: because at the end, it's just you know, can your
- 3:30Speaker 2: guys cover, and I think the Lions kind of kept
- 3:34Speaker 2: it simple. As for the Pickings part, I mean, it's
- 3:37Speaker 2: it's it's going to be tricky, you know, because how
- 3:41Speaker 2: much do you pay him, do you? You know, he's
- 3:46Speaker 2: those issues that the Cowboys have with him and dealing
- 3:50Speaker 2: with his immaturity and dealing with him being late to
- 3:54Speaker 2: things and dealing with him just mood swings. It sounds
- 3:57Speaker 2: like dealing with those type of things things probably won't
- 4:01Speaker 2: be on the table for when when Pickens and his
- 4:05Speaker 2: agent get there to talk. You know, that's probably not
- 4:09Speaker 2: not gonna be considered until you know, cowboys have to
- 4:12Speaker 2: bring it up. You have to talk about those those things,
- 4:14Speaker 2: to talk about the fines, You talk about all those
- 4:16Speaker 2: things and figure out how what's what the right number is.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But you're right, I mean, he's an absolute dynamic player
- 4:23Speaker 2: that they they desperately need and when he's on, he's
- 4:28Speaker 2: worth it. And so that's kind of what's happened this year.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I think I think we're forgetting how this this thing
- 4:34Speaker 2: goes with the wide receiver one one A, one B
- 4:38Speaker 2: because was it to two weeks ago? Well, what's up
- 4:42Speaker 2: with CD? When what's wrong with him? I mean is
- 4:44Speaker 2: he is he be okay? And then and then the
- 4:46Speaker 2: next couple of games, the you know, things shift on
- 4:50Speaker 2: the coverage, and then CD has two good games, and
- 4:53Speaker 2: then and then Pickens doesn't have his best game? Well
- 4:55Speaker 2: what's wrong with Pickens? I mean, hopefully it's not going
- 4:58Speaker 2: to be like that every week. Hopefully well unders stand
- 5:00Speaker 2: that this is the way it works, and they're both
- 5:03Speaker 2: not gonna just have one hundred yard games all the time.
- 5:06Speaker 2: It's gonna be kind of a back and forth, but
- 5:08Speaker 2: they have to kind of both understand that. All right,
- 5:10Speaker 2: Daveon and Illinois is next?
- 5:13Speaker 5: What's up? Nick was going on with, God, hey, how
- 5:15Speaker 5: are you man?
- 5:17Speaker 6: Doing good?
- 5:18Speaker 5: Just I guess thinking back out that just quickly. I think,
- 5:21Speaker 5: honestly that the debate between the two, I mean, we
- 5:25Speaker 5: kind of put that as a nation, put that as
- 5:26Speaker 5: a rest. It's like we're gonna they're gonna have games
- 5:29Speaker 5: where one's gonna be other, them's gonna be down, be
- 5:31Speaker 5: back and forth and flows it. Really know, I don't
- 5:34Speaker 5: really I just like them both. So we got them both, listen,
- 5:37Speaker 5: Joe them both while they're here, and just go from there. Yeah. Yeah,
- 5:43Speaker 5: because I don't know why why it was such a
- 5:44Speaker 5: debate by trying to trade this and do that, it's crazy.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Uh Honestly, what I was called about today, I was,
- 5:51Speaker 5: I guess a question for you all these last four games,
- 5:55Speaker 5: what do you think is what is the biggest thing
- 5:57Speaker 5: we need to see throughout for the team? Me, me
- 6:01Speaker 5: personally would be consistency. I need to seek assistant defense,
- 6:06Speaker 5: assistant offense, and hopefully we can uh make it, make
- 6:09Speaker 5: a play for this playoffs backdoor or whatever. Hopefully the
- 6:12Speaker 5: Eagles lose to Night that'd be great, but either way,
- 6:17Speaker 5: just go win for last four and see what happens.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm with you when you when you ask
- 6:22Speaker 2: that question. Thanks for the call, Davion. I assume when
- 6:25Speaker 2: you're talking about what do you need to see? I
- 6:27Speaker 2: mean as far as like winning the games. I mean,
- 6:29Speaker 2: obviously the defense is going to have to to to
- 6:32Speaker 2: step up and make stops like like we've seen the
- 6:35Speaker 2: previous games. If you're asking about what do we need
- 6:38Speaker 2: to see for like moving forward, questions that maybe need
- 6:42Speaker 2: to be answered. One of the things that I think
- 6:45Speaker 2: is is is still up for debate, is just who
- 6:49Speaker 2: are your who are your offensive tackles moving forward? And
- 6:53Speaker 2: if you ask them right now. You know, in a
- 6:56Speaker 2: press conference, Shotty's going to say, well, Tern Steels under
- 6:59Speaker 2: contract and Tyler Guiden is a young developing player, and
- 7:03Speaker 2: you know who's the first round pick and those are
- 7:04Speaker 2: our tackles. But I still think, you know, behind closed doors,
- 7:08Speaker 2: you still got to figure that out, like like what
- 7:10Speaker 2: who's it going to be? And what what is Steel's
- 7:13Speaker 2: number next year? And is he is he someone that
- 7:16Speaker 2: that you're going to keep? Are you are you going
- 7:19Speaker 2: to draft an offensive tackle? You know? What about your linebackers?
- 7:25Speaker 2: Who's who are the guys there? Who are the guys
- 7:28Speaker 2: that you really need to play and develop there? Because
- 7:30Speaker 2: you've got a few, but none of them seem to
- 7:32Speaker 2: be making a lot of plays right now. So listen,
- 7:36Speaker 2: there's questions. There's questions at safety as well, So there's
- 7:39Speaker 2: questions about how to win these games, and there's questions
- 7:42Speaker 2: that they need to keep answering moving forward. Let's go
- 7:45Speaker 2: to Sebastian and Savannah.
- 7:46Speaker 7: What's up Sebastian, Good morning, sir?
- 7:48Speaker 2: How you doing good? You?
- 7:50Speaker 7: I'm doing real good, hey man. Listen, Like I said,
- 7:53Speaker 7: I had a losing that game and that being the
- 7:56Speaker 7: last game that we lost, so with that, I dove
- 7:57Speaker 7: right into my scouting.
- 7:58Speaker 6: Of the other team.
- 7:59Speaker 7: Okay, and here we go quick twenty seconds gunn report
- 8:02Speaker 7: on the Vikings. They bring a lot of pressure, led
- 8:04Speaker 7: by their veteran Harrison Smiths. We all know no one
- 8:07Speaker 7: love that name, so the screen game, he's kind.
- 8:09Speaker 5: Of all over that. But they're a little bit on the.
- 8:11Speaker 7: Smaller side, so we could take advantage of them. Now
- 8:14Speaker 7: when it comes to getting back on the right track,
- 8:17Speaker 7: we need the best version of DAK to come back out.
- 8:19Speaker 7: This week can't have any turnovers, So Brian Shottheimer should
- 8:23Speaker 7: be preaching bass security. I mean for your running back,
- 8:26Speaker 7: for your wide receivers, for your tight end. Ball security
- 8:29Speaker 7: should be the message of the week. And as far
- 8:31Speaker 7: as George Pickens goes, he's our spark plug. Like I said,
- 8:34Speaker 7: CD's Batman, but he's not robbing. He's like a night wing.
- 8:37Speaker 7: He can handle it on the ohone if he has to.
- 8:39Speaker 7: But your spark plug does well for the car. It
- 8:41Speaker 7: gets the engine going. It's not the engine, it's not
- 8:44Speaker 7: the wheels, it's not the stitting wheel, but it gets
- 8:45Speaker 7: the whole thing going. So we can get GP going.
- 8:48Speaker 7: We should be just fine.
- 8:49Speaker 2: You have a great day, all right, I like it. Yeah,
- 8:58Speaker 2: going to the Vikings. I'm sure we'll talk about them
- 9:01Speaker 2: here in a little bit. I know, obviously, they're they're
- 9:03Speaker 2: coming off their best game. They were, they lost four
- 9:05Speaker 2: in a row and then here they are and they
- 9:07Speaker 2: beat Washington thirty one to nothing. So, you know, I'm
- 9:11Speaker 2: sure the Viking storyline over there is they're they're they're
- 9:14Speaker 2: probably talking about all right, this is it. Now we're
- 9:17Speaker 2: in the December championship month. Let's go, you know, so
- 9:20Speaker 2: they're they're they're trying to make a push as well.
- 9:26Speaker 2: You know, we can just talk about pickings all day long,
- 9:30Speaker 2: I guess, and I'll let you guys do that. I'm
- 9:31Speaker 2: not going to continue to talk about that. I mean,
- 9:34Speaker 2: it's nothing bad. It's just that I've kind of said
- 9:36Speaker 2: what I've said, and he's hard to understand a little bit,
- 9:39Speaker 2: and and there's a lot of things behind closed doors.
- 9:41Speaker 2: We don't really know all of that. I know this,
- 9:43Speaker 2: when he's out there playing like he has most of
- 9:45Speaker 2: the season, he's one of the best players in the NFL.
- 9:48Speaker 2: And so with that, you're just trying to put them
- 9:51Speaker 2: in the right situation and figure out how to how
- 9:54Speaker 2: to keep them, keep them happy, and keep them going
- 9:57Speaker 2: all right eight eight eight eight five five two two
- 9:59Speaker 2: nine seven. The phone lines are open here, so you guys,
- 10:04Speaker 2: I don't know if you're you know, it's like a

- 12:14Speaker 2: All right, get some calls in here. Let's go back
- 12:17Speaker 2: to the Lions. We have Zach in Atlanta. Zach, what's up?
- 12:21Speaker 12: Nick? And Frisco?
- 12:22Speaker 13: How you doing, Bud?
- 12:23Speaker 12: I'm good you that's good man, Yeah, I'm good. Obviously,
- 12:28Speaker 12: disappointing game against the Lions, but we knew they're two
- 12:33Speaker 12: and one against the Eagles. Chiefs and Lions. Yeah, you know,
- 12:37Speaker 12: we would have taken that all day. But it seems like,
- 12:39Speaker 12: you know, the Chiefs are are not themselves this year,
- 12:42Speaker 12: and the Eagles are made to be seen. So we
- 12:45Speaker 12: may have won against the two worst teams of the three,
- 12:48Speaker 12: but still got to win out and we'll figure it out.
- 12:50Speaker 12: But I think our linebacker play is still pretty abysmal,
- 12:55Speaker 12: which leads me to my double agent for this week.
- 12:58Speaker 12: As we look at the Vikings, can we talk about
- 13:01Speaker 12: Eric Kendricks because he still out there and what we
- 13:06Speaker 12: bring him in? I mean, I don't know any stories
- 13:09Speaker 12: on him. He was grateful us and I'll hang on
- 13:11Speaker 12: in all right.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Trying to think stories on Eric Kendricks. I did I
- 13:17Speaker 2: remember when he when he showed up, I did the
- 13:21Speaker 2: FRUSK I mean I did the interview with him, and
- 13:25Speaker 2: right when he first got here, he signed his contract
- 13:27Speaker 2: and went over to the next room and we were
- 13:30Speaker 2: there at the camera and we did an interview with
- 13:31Speaker 2: him and talked about Zimmer. I remember that, but I
- 13:33Speaker 2: don't remember a whole lot of stories with him. He
- 13:36Speaker 2: was just here for the one year. And I think
- 13:38Speaker 2: he's in one of those situations where he he knows
- 13:42Speaker 2: he can play, and but he wasn't. He's not just
- 13:47Speaker 2: signing a deal just to just to be on a
- 13:49Speaker 2: team and be on a roster and maybe have to
- 13:51Speaker 2: play special teams and all that. I don't think he
- 13:54Speaker 2: was really trying to do all that. I think if
- 13:56Speaker 2: the situation was right, you know, he would have he
- 13:59Speaker 2: would have joined a team. But it just didn't work
- 14:01Speaker 2: out for him. So he seemed like he was okay with,
- 14:05Speaker 2: you know, just not playing this year again. I don't
- 14:07Speaker 2: know all that, but I I know he played well
- 14:10Speaker 2: enough last year to play on someone's team for the
- 14:13Speaker 2: right price, in the right situation, and it just didn't
- 14:16Speaker 2: seem like that worked out. So all right, let's go
- 14:20Speaker 2: to our next caller, Stan he's in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Stan.
- 14:24Speaker 2: What's up?
- 14:26Speaker 13: Hey?
- 14:26Speaker 14: What's up?
- 14:26Speaker 5: Nick?
- 14:27Speaker 6: How you doing? Man?
- 14:27Speaker 2: Good? How are you?
- 14:29Speaker 15: I'm good? Hey. This is my first time on the show,
- 14:31Speaker 15: and let me tell you something.
- 14:32Speaker 3: I'll make it quick.
- 14:34Speaker 15: I'm a sixty year old man and I've been a
- 14:36Speaker 15: die hard Cowboys family entire life. Believe it or not.
- 14:39Speaker 15: I'm fifty miles away from Philadelphia Stadium, the Link, and
- 14:44Speaker 15: I grew up in a diehard Philadelphia family. Yeah, and
- 14:48Speaker 15: I am the biggest Philadelphia hater of all their sports
- 14:51Speaker 15: teams you'll ever believe. Yeah, I've got in a lot
- 14:53Speaker 15: of fights growing up. You better believe it. Man.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Hey, but I've got a good friend that is from Tamaqua, Pennsylvania.
- 14:59Speaker 2: That's not I.
- 15:00Speaker 15: Know, not far at all.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Huge Eagles man, huge Cowboy hater. We get along sometimes,
- 15:06Speaker 2: but no, I know I know exactly where that is.
- 15:10Speaker 2: All right, stance, what do you got for us?
- 15:12Speaker 6: Okay?
- 15:13Speaker 15: This is I was You know, I think a lot
- 15:15Speaker 15: of people are missing things on this past game. As
- 15:18Speaker 15: soon as they started settling for field goals and not
- 15:23Speaker 15: getting touchdowns, not actually settling for them, they just couldn't
- 15:27Speaker 15: convert on third downs and they were kicking a lot
- 15:29Speaker 15: of field goals, and like, this game's over. Against any team,
- 15:32Speaker 15: let alone a high powered offensive team like the Lions,
- 15:35Speaker 15: you got to score touchdowns. And also our special teams
- 15:39Speaker 15: they struggled majorly. I mean every time we would score,
- 15:44Speaker 15: they would have a huge kickoff return and they'd be
- 15:46Speaker 15: almost doting field goal ranger ready. And I think those
- 15:48Speaker 15: are two things that really hurt us, as well as
- 15:51Speaker 15: all the other things that we that were talked about
- 15:53Speaker 15: on the show.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Yeah, now, you're right. The kick coverage was huge. When
- 15:59Speaker 2: you think about the last couple of weeks too, some
- 16:01Speaker 2: of the coverage units have gone down there and made
- 16:03Speaker 2: some plays, big hits, the force fumble in the Philadelphia game,
- 16:06Speaker 2: all that stuff, but it failed them that And you're right,
- 16:11Speaker 2: I mean the Lions got to open up the playbook
- 16:13Speaker 2: and play downhill that they were never really pressed because
- 16:16Speaker 2: they were all always starting around the forty forty five
- 16:18Speaker 2: fifty yard line exactly. Yeah, Yeah, that was that was
- 16:22Speaker 2: a huge, huge play or plays in the game, and
- 16:25Speaker 2: just a turning point that you know, I don't know.
- 16:29Speaker 2: I mean, you kick it out of the end zone
- 16:30Speaker 2: if you want to, I mean, you put it at
- 16:32Speaker 2: the thirty five. That's not great, but it's obviously better
- 16:35Speaker 2: than midfield. It's already in field.
- 16:37Speaker 15: Goal range, exactly exactly. That's what I say. What do
- 16:40Speaker 15: you think about, like you said about the kicking of
- 16:43Speaker 15: the field goals, I mean, we just had to kick
- 16:45Speaker 15: way too many field goals. You got to score. I
- 16:47Speaker 15: know it's hard to score touchdowns when you got to
- 16:49Speaker 15: at least make that fifty to fifty. I mean against anybody,
- 16:51Speaker 15: let alone the Lions. We knew the Lions were going
- 16:54Speaker 15: to put up the points.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't remember a time where I would have
- 16:59Speaker 2: been like, why didn't they go for go for it
- 17:02Speaker 2: here instead of the field goal? Maybe right before the half,
- 17:05Speaker 2: but you know there was fourth and four. I'm a
- 17:09Speaker 2: little different on that because I just feel like kicking
- 17:12Speaker 2: field goals, I feel like the shoddy at times has
- 17:15Speaker 2: has gone forward when he didn't need to. So I'm
- 17:18Speaker 2: okay with that. I'm okay with with with situations like that,
- 17:22Speaker 2: with kicking the field goals and getting the points because
- 17:25Speaker 2: I still feel like, and I've said this before, they've
- 17:27Speaker 2: scored you know, thirty points seven times now this year,
- 17:33Speaker 2: and Aubrey's kicked the field goal in like fifteen straight games.
- 17:37Speaker 2: So field goals doesn't mean it doesn't mean you're only
- 17:39Speaker 2: going to score ten, thirteen, you know, seventeen points. You
- 17:42Speaker 2: can still get in the thirties and forties by kicking
- 17:44Speaker 2: field goals at the right time. But you have to
- 17:46Speaker 2: mix in some touchdowns. And they did a couple, they
- 17:48Speaker 2: did two, but they you're right, they needed more. They
- 17:51Speaker 2: needed more. It just didn't didn't work.
- 17:54Speaker 15: Yeah, And you know, like I'm just old score. Normally,
- 17:56Speaker 15: I'm good with the field goals. I like that too.
- 17:58Speaker 15: You know, I'm big for like, let's take the points. Man,
- 18:01Speaker 15: It's not you know, so many teams go for it
- 18:03Speaker 15: now on fourth down. But I just thought that one
- 18:05Speaker 15: situation where it was like, like you said, right before
- 18:09Speaker 15: halftime there, I was thinking, man, maybe maybe this is
- 18:11Speaker 15: a time to go for it. But you know that's
- 18:13Speaker 15: always all second guests. And but another thing, like I said,
- 18:16Speaker 15: I'm old school man. One thing I didn't like actor
- 18:20Speaker 15: in the press conference with Shadi was like, and I
- 18:23Speaker 15: guess it got to be politically correct, but I don't
- 18:25Speaker 15: like that is that he's like, I was proud of
- 18:29Speaker 15: my team. You know, we're profess these are professional athletes.
- 18:32Speaker 15: This isn't high school, it isn't college, it isn't raw Rod.
- 18:36Speaker 15: It's like, yo, man, you gotta how can you be
- 18:38Speaker 15: proud of your team when you failed to come through again? Man,
- 18:40Speaker 15: I mean, this was a must win game. We knew it.
- 18:43Speaker 15: We want two big ones in a row against the
- 18:45Speaker 15: Eagles and the Chiefs. But it's like you got to, like,
- 18:48Speaker 15: you know, be a little tough man too. You know.
- 18:50Speaker 15: I like the way he I like his demeanor and
- 18:54Speaker 15: the way you know, he's bringing the new culture to
- 18:56Speaker 15: the team. I do like that, But I just hate
- 18:59Speaker 15: when it are proud of their team when.
- 19:01Speaker 13: They lose and no sports staying.
- 19:03Speaker 15: You have kids, I have four of them, all boys.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Any of those any of those boys ever do something wrong,
- 19:10Speaker 2: ever do anything wrong and and make you upset, got
- 19:12Speaker 2: in trouble all the time. I'm still proud of them, though,
- 19:16Speaker 2: you know, I mean you're mad at him, You're still
- 19:17Speaker 2: proud of them, you still love them, You're still proud
- 19:19Speaker 2: of them. But that that moment right there, yeah you
- 19:22Speaker 2: want to shake up a little bit. But but still
- 19:24Speaker 2: when you're you know, you're proud of them. You might
- 19:26Speaker 2: be mad at them behind closed doors, but then when
- 19:28Speaker 2: the neighbors come out and they go, what's wrong with
- 19:30Speaker 2: your kid, You're gonna be like, Hey, it's my kid.
- 19:32Speaker 2: I'm proud of my kid. You worry about yourself. And
- 19:35Speaker 2: so that's maybe what he's doing to the media. He
- 19:37Speaker 2: might he might feel a certain way behind closed doors,
- 19:39Speaker 2: but I mean part of the media, he's like, hey,
- 19:43Speaker 2: and that and and and that's what we are. Thanks
- 19:45Speaker 2: for the call. Hey, Stan, love hearing from you. First
- 19:47Speaker 2: time caller. Gotta give it to you. Thank you. All right,
- 19:52Speaker 2: there we go, uh no, and and boy, tell me
- 19:57Speaker 2: you're from the Philadelphia area without being from telling me
- 20:00Speaker 2: here from Philadelphia. I mean, like, no, I get it.
- 20:03Speaker 2: That's it's a whole different mindset. It's different, you know, culture.
- 20:07Speaker 2: I guess I'm and and Shody's shoddy. I'm not not
- 20:11Speaker 2: gonna try to get him to change. I'm I'm not
- 20:14Speaker 2: gonna lie there. There's been times where the Cowboys had
- 20:17Speaker 2: like the worst loss ever, I mean, like a last
- 20:19Speaker 2: second overtime loss, and then Jason Garrett stands up there
- 20:23Speaker 2: it's like, how are we doing? Guys? I'm like, how
- 20:27Speaker 2: are you doing? You just lost? Your team lost, and
- 20:29Speaker 2: you're not in the playoffs. I mean, how are we doing.
- 20:32Speaker 2: That's who he was. You're not gonna change it. That's
- 20:34Speaker 2: who shot He is. So it is what it is.
- 20:36Speaker 2: And and and you know you're still you still you
- 20:39Speaker 2: can still have a feeling about them one way because
- 20:42Speaker 2: I you know, I know Shoty can can get after him.
- 20:46Speaker 2: And that's from those things that I've I've heard, you
- 20:50Speaker 2: know when in the meetings and things like that. He's
- 20:52Speaker 2: not afraid to pull some punches there, but he might
- 20:55Speaker 2: have a different opinion and different kind of person on
- 21:00Speaker 2: in front of the cameras. All right, let's go to
- 21:03Speaker 2: uh Sam in Maryland?
- 21:05Speaker 16: Sam Nick, how are you doing for first time? First
- 21:10Speaker 16: time called her?
- 21:11Speaker 15: Thanks?
- 21:11Speaker 16: Thanks for having me on.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Oh back to back FTCs. It all you have to
- 21:17Speaker 2: say is all you have to say is the lines
- 21:19Speaker 2: are open and they're like, you know what, let me
- 21:21Speaker 2: try this and see.
- 21:22Speaker 16: Yeah, I was surprised to get through you. I actually
- 21:27Speaker 16: have touched on some but this is such a big
- 21:30Speaker 16: issue for me as I still want to want to
- 21:31Speaker 16: want to touch on it. And it surrounds special teams.
- 21:34Speaker 16: And I'm thinking about a movie, a Bronx tale. There's
- 21:38Speaker 16: a character de Niro has the worst thing in the
- 21:41Speaker 16: world is waste of talent. And then Parcels used to
- 21:44Speaker 16: always say hidding yardage. And with that, I've been irth
- 21:48Speaker 16: this entire season, me and my wife, we're seating ticket holders,
- 21:51Speaker 16: so we also get a chance set up close every
- 21:53Speaker 16: every time we come out, and that's turping to me.
- 21:56Speaker 16: He's extremely talented, but I'm so frustrated whenever he has
- 21:59Speaker 16: the it seems like he jokes, he doesn't run his heart,
- 22:03Speaker 16: and so it's frustrating watching other teams with what to me,
- 22:08Speaker 16: I would think is lesser talent than Turpin seem to
- 22:11Speaker 16: always start out in betterfield position, longer kick returns, and
- 22:14Speaker 16: we always seem to start out twenty five yard line
- 22:17Speaker 16: or less. And I just wish that we would get
- 22:20Speaker 16: more production from him. And I don't know what it is,
- 22:23Speaker 16: but it's frustrating watching it game in the game out.
- 22:26Speaker 2: No, you're not wrong there, You're not wrong. It's he's
- 22:32Speaker 2: playing for he's playing for one hundred, you know, that's
- 22:35Speaker 2: what it is. He's playing for the kickoff return to
- 22:38Speaker 2: the house, and he's you know, jogging, jogging, jogging, and
- 22:41Speaker 2: then trying to hit it. And when you hit it,
- 22:43Speaker 2: if it's there. It could be a touchdown. You kind
- 22:45Speaker 2: of draw them in boom, but doesn't always happen. And
- 22:50Speaker 2: you would like for them to just run it at
- 22:52Speaker 2: full speed, get up there, get what you can. If
- 22:54Speaker 2: you hit it, great, it's not get to the thirty
- 22:57Speaker 2: thirty five something like that. But there's another factor too,
- 23:01Speaker 2: is he's the smallest guy on the field and if
- 23:05Speaker 2: he's running at full speed and he gets hit by
- 23:08Speaker 2: someone at full speed even though they've not you know,
- 23:10Speaker 2: they're now at the forty. Still, if they're coming from
- 23:14Speaker 2: full speed and they hit him at full speed, he's
- 23:16Speaker 2: gonna lose. So he's playing that factor as well. I
- 23:21Speaker 2: mean I get it, though, I get why you'd be frustrated.
- 23:24Speaker 2: It seems weird to have him jog dog jogging and
- 23:26Speaker 2: he gets tackled with the twenty.
- 23:28Speaker 16: Yeah, and I get that. My wife also what makes
- 23:30Speaker 16: that same point. He's a small guy. He's a small guy.
- 23:32Speaker 16: But at the same time, I'm just thinking, know, that's
- 23:34Speaker 16: that's kind of the assignment. Yeah, I mean, he's getting
- 23:36Speaker 16: paid big money, right, and so I'm like, we're constantly
- 23:41Speaker 16: losing out on it in terms of hitting yards. I
- 23:43Speaker 16: mean that last game with Detroit yea. I mean, I
- 23:45Speaker 16: don't know what the number is, but we came in
- 23:47Speaker 16: to the mind side that tremendously big time.
- 23:49Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, their guy wasn't jogging at the line
- 23:52Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Yes, special teams has not been that good.
- 23:56Speaker 2: It really, it really hasn't. I mean, like I think
- 23:59Speaker 2: sometimes make field goals with Aubrey and and every once
- 24:02Speaker 2: in a while Tarpor don't have a big return and
- 24:04Speaker 2: Anger kind of does his thing. But I don't think,
- 24:07Speaker 2: you know, as far as the coverage units, blocking, scheming,
- 24:11Speaker 2: things like that, special teams has not been good this year.
- 24:14Speaker 4: I know.
- 24:15Speaker 16: At all that said, I just wanted to I just
- 24:18Speaker 16: wanted to mention that point. There's a lot of things
- 24:19Speaker 16: we could talk about. But if to close the season out,
- 24:22Speaker 16: if that could be a little bit better to give
- 24:23Speaker 16: us more hope for next season, that would be good
- 24:25Speaker 16: as well.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt. Oh man, I'm looking thanks for
- 24:29Speaker 2: the call, Sam, I'm looking at the NFC playoff picture,
- 24:32Speaker 2: and yeah, I mean when you when you see three
- 24:35Speaker 2: wildcard teams with nine and ten wins at the wild
- 24:38Speaker 2: card doesn't look good with four games to go, you
- 24:43Speaker 2: know your your best shot is the Eagles are going
- 24:46Speaker 2: to have to lose here. But yeah, six six and
- 24:49Speaker 2: one for the Cowboys when you're just looking at the
- 24:52Speaker 2: Bears at nine and four in the seventh spot, that's
- 24:55Speaker 2: not good. But you know it is. It is what
- 24:59Speaker 2: it is for of this season, and you know, I
- 25:02Speaker 2: think you can build on some things. You can. You
- 25:05Speaker 2: can definitely, you know, stack some wins together. You're going
- 25:08Speaker 2: to have two draft picks, so and they're both going
- 25:12Speaker 2: to be kind of in the you know, second half
- 25:14Speaker 2: of the draft. But that's okay because if you know
- 25:17Speaker 2: you can you can packet those and move up if
- 25:19Speaker 2: you want to, or you can move down, and you know,
- 25:21Speaker 2: there's a lot of flexibility there. But still just four
- 25:24Speaker 2: games to go. Just keep to me, I say, just
- 25:26Speaker 2: keep playing, keep winning, and keep trying to figure out
- 25:29Speaker 2: how to how to build this thing. And that's that's
- 25:31Speaker 2: kind of what you do, all right, Jr. And Avindee Arizona.
- 25:34Speaker 2: He's next.
- 25:36Speaker 14: Good morning, Nick.
- 25:37Speaker 6: How you doing good?
- 25:38Speaker 14: You I'm great. I'm not a first time college you're not.
- 25:42Speaker 14: I'll break the trend. I I kind of want to
- 25:46Speaker 14: talk about special teams as well, and everybody stole my
- 25:49Speaker 14: thunder on that, but I they have to block on
- 25:54Speaker 14: the kickoff. It's not this uncontrolled chaos where everyone is
- 25:57Speaker 14: kind of like it's a big sword fight and Brave Heart.
- 26:00Speaker 14: It was just going everywhere. There's a plan. If you
- 26:02Speaker 14: watch last year's Special Teams kickoffs versus this year, there's
- 26:06Speaker 14: no word for Turpin to run. I've had this argument
- 26:09Speaker 14: with other friends of mine. There's no work for him
- 26:12Speaker 14: to go.
- 26:13Speaker 6: He's jogging up there.
- 26:13Speaker 14: Because there's no there's no plan for him.
- 26:15Speaker 4: To get through.
- 26:16Speaker 14: I don't think they're doing a good job blocking it.
- 26:18Speaker 14: And he never returns a punt because we can't stop
- 26:24Speaker 14: their gunners from running down the field. I can't remember
- 26:26Speaker 14: last time he had a punt return. And we don't
- 26:29Speaker 14: hold those guys up very well. And I don't know
- 26:32Speaker 14: if that's by plan or if it's by just chance,
- 26:36Speaker 14: but we got to do a better job holding up
- 26:39Speaker 14: their gunners, and we need to block better on the
- 26:42Speaker 14: kickoff returns and give Turpin a chance. I think he
- 26:44Speaker 14: still got it. Yeah, last last thing I got. As
- 26:48Speaker 14: far as the schedule goes, and these games, these these
- 26:51Speaker 14: guys that played, they've been on this emotional high. And
- 26:54Speaker 14: I know I had personal tragedy when my son passed
- 26:58Speaker 14: away when he was five, and me and my wife
- 27:01Speaker 14: we ran on emotional energy for like three weeks and
- 27:05Speaker 14: then at the end of that it was just kind
- 27:08Speaker 14: of we're done, collapsed. And I think that's kind of
- 27:11Speaker 14: what's happening to the Cowboys with marsha on and these
- 27:14Speaker 14: huge games and the weird schedule, and they just kind
- 27:17Speaker 14: of looked like they didn't have it the other night.
- 27:19Speaker 14: They didn't have the energy, they were as physical, and
- 27:23Speaker 14: I think it's it's a bad deal for the NFL
- 27:25Speaker 14: to do what they did the Cowboys schedule wise, Like
- 27:29Speaker 14: I know, the Lions had the same schedule, but they
- 27:31Speaker 14: also had the Giants in there for one of those games. Yeah,
- 27:34Speaker 14: so I think Cowboys ont of that. I look forward
- 27:37Speaker 14: to seeing what happens in this game coming up after
- 27:40Speaker 14: what the Vikings did to the Commanders.
- 27:43Speaker 5: We'll see.
- 27:43Speaker 14: But that's all. I got a great show, all right,
- 27:48Speaker 14: Oh Cowboys?
- 27:48Speaker 2: Thanks thanks jar Yeah, I mean, you know, the fact
- 27:52Speaker 2: of the matter is that Cowboys played four games in
- 27:55Speaker 2: seventeen days. I mean, that's that's just that's just challenging.
- 27:59Speaker 2: It's just challenging thing to do.
- 28:01Speaker 6: You know.
- 28:02Speaker 2: It was a Monday night game, and a short week
- 28:05Speaker 2: to play Philly, shorter week to play Kansas City, and
- 28:08Speaker 2: then than just a seven days rest. I mean, I
- 28:13Speaker 2: don't know that. That just doesn't seem like a good idea,
- 28:18Speaker 2: you know. And I never understood that. I've never understood
- 28:23Speaker 2: why these these teams that have Thursday games on Thanksgiving,
- 28:29Speaker 2: why do you have to play on Thursday a week later?
- 28:31Speaker 2: I mean, like you're you already had to compromise yourself
- 28:35Speaker 2: for four days at least, you know, I mean, I
- 28:39Speaker 2: mean think about it. It's like it's like you have
- 28:43Speaker 2: to wake up at four am, you know, when usually
- 28:46Speaker 2: you wake up at seven. Let's say this day you
- 28:48Speaker 2: woke up at four am. Well, you know, the next day,
- 28:52Speaker 2: you know, maybe maybe you can sleep in a little
- 28:55Speaker 2: bit more, you know what I mean, instead of going
- 28:56Speaker 2: waking up at seven again, maybe you can sleep until
- 28:59Speaker 2: eight or nine, if you can, and if it allows.
- 29:01Speaker 2: I mean, maybe that's not the best analogy, but I'm
- 29:02Speaker 2: just saying, you already compromise yourself for four days, why
- 29:05Speaker 2: can't the next week? Why can't you kind of get
- 29:08Speaker 2: that break back instead of just going back to woll
- 29:10Speaker 2: seven days. I mean, that's what you're used to well, yeah,
- 29:12Speaker 2: but I'm just I just come up with four days. Anyways,
- 29:15Speaker 2: it is what it is. You're not gonna fight that
- 29:17Speaker 2: with the league. That that's that's about the money and Cowboys.
- 29:20Speaker 2: You know, Cowboys set records with with what they did
- 29:24Speaker 2: with the Cowboys and Chiefs. I mean, a couple of
- 29:26Speaker 2: teams that don't have winning records right now, right, and
- 29:29Speaker 2: neither one of these teams has a winning record, and
- 29:32Speaker 2: yet they had the highest rated regular season football game
- 29:36Speaker 2: watched in the in the history of television. You know.
- 29:41Speaker 2: So it's the brands, and it's obviously Thanksgiving, but still
- 29:44Speaker 2: it's the brand and they're going to continue to do that.
- 29:46Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Dylan Northport, Florida. O.
- 29:49Speaker 17: Hey, how's it going? Did you good?
- 29:53Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 29:53Speaker 17: I agree the league did the Cowboys no favors with that.
- 29:55Speaker 17: At least you're gonna make us play not a side
- 29:57Speaker 17: on mond team, but make the team play that many
- 29:59Speaker 17: games in such a short period. At least give us
- 30:01Speaker 17: like an easy or what you anticipate to be an
- 30:04Speaker 17: easy team to have to play those three teams like that?
- 30:08Speaker 13: Right?
- 30:09Speaker 17: Insane, absolutely insanity. But you know, the Panthers do something
- 30:13Speaker 17: on special teams on the kickoff. That's interesting and it's
- 30:16Speaker 17: a little bit of a risk because you can't control
- 30:18Speaker 17: the ball as much, but they do this like weird
- 30:20Speaker 17: wobbly kick type thing. I know Dallas did it a
- 30:23Speaker 17: little bit last year, but for whatever reason, I'm not
- 30:25Speaker 17: doing it this year. But it just kind of makes
- 30:27Speaker 17: the return may have to stop and like focus on
- 30:30Speaker 17: catching the ball and sometimes it bounces and bounces off
- 30:33Speaker 17: of them and all that. So I like to see
- 30:35Speaker 17: Dallas do some more of that. And then defensively, I
- 30:40Speaker 17: don't mean to say this to be mean or anything,
- 30:42Speaker 17: but when Kenneth Murray's on the field, oftentimes it's like
- 30:45Speaker 17: you're playing man bounce, like you're playing with ten guys,
- 30:48Speaker 17: because he is just taking himself out of the play,
- 30:50Speaker 17: not even taking a blocker up. He's just willingly moving out.
- 30:55Speaker 17: And so I don't know if Logan Wilson is that
- 30:57Speaker 17: bad that he can't get on the field, if this
- 30:58Speaker 17: is a coach thing where the coach brought Murray in
- 31:00Speaker 17: so he just prefers Murray at being Eberflus or what.
- 31:04Speaker 17: But I'd love to see it. Will Wilson at least
- 31:06Speaker 17: get some more reps out in live action on the
- 31:08Speaker 17: field and to see what we got there, because that'll
- 31:11Speaker 17: obviously have to be a decision next season to make
- 31:13Speaker 17: as well. They're at that position.
- 31:15Speaker 2: There's no doubt. I hear his name the most in
- 31:17Speaker 2: like in the press box. People around me, they're like,
- 31:20Speaker 2: what is Kenneth Murray doing? I hear that more than anything.
- 31:25Speaker 2: And there's some there's some surprising plays that that was
- 31:29Speaker 2: one guy that I thought was going to be a
- 31:31Speaker 2: lot better this year. It didn't.
- 31:34Speaker 16: It didn't.
- 31:34Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny like Jerry's getting, you know,
- 31:37Speaker 2: praised for some of these trades. The espressly the one
- 31:39Speaker 2: to get pickings. Some of them work out, you know,
- 31:43Speaker 2: and then there's others they're like, wow, we got a
- 31:47Speaker 2: fifth round pick for Murray or we got a sixth
- 31:49Speaker 2: round pick for Elam. He didn't even stay on their
- 31:51Speaker 2: team all year. So yeah, I mean there's some good trades,
- 31:54Speaker 2: there's some there's some not so good trades.
- 31:56Speaker 17: Kind of yeah, I mean, you gave up a seventh
- 31:59Speaker 17: for Wilson, so there's another trade that maybe he is good,
- 32:01Speaker 17: but we just don't know, you know.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Yeah, And Milton, Milton point.
- 32:06Speaker 17: You just gotta you gotta cut ties there and not
- 32:08Speaker 17: cut the guy. But I mean, you got to figure
- 32:10Speaker 17: out something else because it's absolutely brutal and it's honestly,
- 32:13Speaker 17: it's dragging the team down.
- 32:14Speaker 13: Nick.
- 32:14Speaker 17: I mean, this was second or third play of the game.
- 32:16Speaker 17: He's on the sideline willingly on a swing pass or
- 32:19Speaker 17: a screen to gives and he's just not even trying
- 32:22Speaker 17: to blow up the player or out there running back
- 32:24Speaker 17: inside he says, Okay, I'll let you block me over
- 32:26Speaker 17: to my bench. It's frustrating to watch.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but he's got that towel. You know, he
- 32:32Speaker 2: certainly has that.
- 32:34Speaker 17: He looks a far I'll say that, man, he looks
- 32:37Speaker 17: like he could be good.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's that's the thing. I mean, you know,
- 32:41Speaker 2: he's going to go to hell, probably go to another
- 32:42Speaker 2: team next year. I'm not sure how how that what
- 32:45Speaker 2: is contract looks like, but he's leading the team and tackles. Now.
- 32:48Speaker 2: It's the worst defense, one of the worst defensive. I
- 32:51Speaker 2: don't know have they have they gotten off of that?
- 32:53Speaker 2: Are they still the worst defense in the league. I'm
- 32:55Speaker 2: sure there are statistics that show that either way. There
- 32:57Speaker 2: they're down there, and uh so, somebody's gonna lea the
- 33:00Speaker 2: team and tackles. But he it hasn't been what you
- 33:03Speaker 2: thought it would be this year, at least what I thought.
- 33:05Speaker 2: I thought he would be a little bit better player,
- 33:08Speaker 2: a lot better player. It just didn't work out, all right, Thanks?
- 33:10Speaker 6: All right?
- 33:11Speaker 15: Thanks?
- 33:11Speaker 2: Then, yeah, let's go to Let's go to Michael in
- 33:16Speaker 2: Utah's our next caller.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Michael, what's going on?
- 33:19Speaker 4: Nick?
- 33:19Speaker 12: Hey?
- 33:20Speaker 2: How are you doing?
- 33:21Speaker 18: I'm doing good?
- 33:22Speaker 4: Man?
- 33:22Speaker 3: How about yourself?
- 33:23Speaker 6: Great?
- 33:23Speaker 2: Great? Great?
- 33:25Speaker 3: I just uh, I feel like ibra Flus is play
- 33:31Speaker 3: calling for the whole game. I mean, I just don't
- 33:34Speaker 3: get why we're ten fifteen yards off the ball when
- 33:39Speaker 3: especially a mont Saint Bronce coming off of injury, Like
- 33:41Speaker 3: why not jam him that first five yards? Like let
- 33:43Speaker 3: him feel us? Like, I don't know if that's just
- 33:46Speaker 3: because our backs aren't good enough to stay with them
- 33:50Speaker 3: off the point of line, Like I just I don't
- 33:52Speaker 3: get that concept of playing the zone coverage the whole time.
- 33:58Speaker 3: I just yeah, that kind of made me frustrated. I
- 34:01Speaker 3: think we had a chance to win that game, and
- 34:03Speaker 3: I think we did make adjustments. We just needed to
- 34:05Speaker 3: make a few more. Do you think IBERFUFS is going
- 34:09Speaker 3: to be our coordinator next year. Do you think they're
- 34:12Speaker 3: going to make changes, because personally Al would have went
- 34:14Speaker 3: with like our I don't know even I think of
- 34:17Speaker 3: the name Al Harris with the safeties last year, Like
- 34:21Speaker 3: I think he would have been a better defensive coordinator
- 34:23Speaker 3: than Eger poofs.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, with Alm, I think Al was looking
- 34:30Speaker 2: to to to go elsewhere when he didn't get the
- 34:33Speaker 2: coordinator position, and so but I think it was also
- 34:36Speaker 2: kind of a mutual thing. I think there were some
- 34:38Speaker 2: things that the organization didn't really love that how he
- 34:43Speaker 2: was handling certain things as far as being a coach,
- 34:45Speaker 2: really good coach though really really good position coach. Look
- 34:49Speaker 2: at some of the players having their best seasons when
- 34:52Speaker 2: he was there, you know, And I mean obviously Digs
- 34:56Speaker 2: in Bland. I mean he's in Chicago now and Naseean
- 34:59Speaker 2: Wright's having a he's having a good statistical year. He's
- 35:03Speaker 2: still he's still a guy that's gonna give up plays,
- 35:05Speaker 2: but he's making them so that that's always good. So, Uh,
- 35:11Speaker 2: to answer your question, I don't know you still there, Michael.
- 35:13Speaker 2: You have another question?
- 35:14Speaker 3: Yeah, just one more question. Do you think the Eagles
- 35:19Speaker 3: have a chance? I mean I think they can lose
- 35:21Speaker 3: the Chargers tonight, and then if they lose to the
- 35:23Speaker 3: Bills and we went out, we would technically win the
- 35:28Speaker 3: division by our tie game.
- 35:30Speaker 5: Is that is that right?
- 35:32Speaker 2: They have to lose another one, they have to lose
- 35:36Speaker 2: three and and of those other games that you did
- 35:39Speaker 2: not mention, were is a home game against the Raiders,
- 35:43Speaker 2: I believe in two games against Washington that didn't score
- 35:46Speaker 2: point yesterday against the Vikings. So I don't know. I mean,
- 35:52Speaker 2: we'll see Washington. Maybe maybe could could win one of those,
- 35:55Speaker 2: but I just it's gonna be it's gonna be uphill.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Let's see what happens tonight. Let's see how Philly plays
- 36:01Speaker 2: against the Chargers tonight. All right, thanks Nick, all Right,

- 37:56Speaker 2: got a chance or a couple more calls here, Sam
- 37:59Speaker 2: and Philly. Sam, what's up, Hey, Nick?
- 38:02Speaker 4: How's it going?
- 38:03Speaker 6: Man?
- 38:03Speaker 13: I don't never get to talk to you too much
- 38:05Speaker 13: because I work night shift, but I try to catch
- 38:07Speaker 13: a show as much as I can.
- 38:08Speaker 2: Hey, man, we'll give you to here we go just
- 38:10Speaker 2: for that. It's been a while the nice shift, Tom.
- 38:15Speaker 13: Yeah, but I wanted to talk to you about the
- 38:17Speaker 13: state of the team. I think that Jerry and Steven
- 38:20Speaker 13: are still trying to figure out and hopefully are figuring out,
- 38:24Speaker 13: how to put together a winner. I think it's like
- 38:27Speaker 13: we always say from back in the day, it's a
- 38:28Speaker 13: copycat league, and you just look at who won and
- 38:33Speaker 13: what they have and try to model your team around that.
- 38:36Speaker 13: Now Philly has two big guys in the middle, solid defense,
- 38:43Speaker 13: the are linebackers, solid corners. I think we have all that.
- 38:47Speaker 13: I think we're missing a pass rusher. But I never
- 38:50Speaker 13: agreed with the draft our own pay, our own, the
- 38:53Speaker 13: Stephen Jones theory. I never really bought into that. I
- 38:56Speaker 13: think it's dumb. I think they missed a value haight,
- 39:00Speaker 13: their talent. I think that they should just go after
- 39:03Speaker 13: like they did this year. Just go after proven players,
- 39:06Speaker 13: plug them in, you know, figure out the money the
- 39:08Speaker 13: best you can. I think they overpay their players. I mean,
- 39:11Speaker 13: there's just we I can have a beer with you
- 39:14Speaker 13: and sit down and talk for an hour about what
- 39:16Speaker 13: they do right, what they do wrong, and it's just frustrating.
- 39:19Speaker 13: Hopefully they get it together sooner or later. But the
- 39:22Speaker 13: last thing I'll say, I wouldn't count it out, you
- 39:26Speaker 13: know that much, because I'm like, I'm up here in
- 39:28Speaker 13: Philly and it's bedlam up here. Nobody's even interested in
- 39:31Speaker 13: the Eagles anymore. It's very I'm gonna say very likely.
- 39:35Speaker 13: But it can't happen. They can lose the rest of
- 39:38Speaker 13: their games. They've done it before. And if you told
- 39:41Speaker 13: me at three, five and one that the Cowboys were
- 39:45Speaker 13: gonna go eight to no, there's just no way. But
- 39:48Speaker 13: if you said seven and one, I think that's the
- 39:50Speaker 13: best you can ask for. And I'll just hang up
- 39:52Speaker 13: and listen. Thanks, Nick, I think you're the best dude.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Oh well, thank you, Sam, I appreciate that, And good luck.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Being a Cowboy fan in Philly. I can't imagine, and uh,
- 40:00Speaker 2: really in any any place you know that that is
- 40:03Speaker 2: passionate about football. And I know you're saying right now
- 40:05Speaker 2: they don't care. I mean, they'll they'll, they'll figure it out.
- 40:09Speaker 2: But you know one thing that you said that I
- 40:13Speaker 2: I disagree with a little bit. As far as I'm
- 40:16Speaker 2: not saying that they should avoid free agency. I wish
- 40:18Speaker 2: they would be a little bit more active there in
- 40:20Speaker 2: free agency. But you know, not paying your own players,
- 40:24Speaker 2: and you feel like you overpay their players, Well, no,
- 40:27Speaker 2: no players get overpaid more than free agency. That's where
- 40:31Speaker 2: they get paid the most. And the cowboy still have
- 40:35Speaker 2: that that theory of you know, the average players, you know,
- 40:39Speaker 2: get good money in free agency, just average players you get,
- 40:43Speaker 2: you get paid good money, and good players get great
- 40:46Speaker 2: money in free agency. And great players usually don't ever
- 40:48Speaker 2: see free agencies. So that's kind of where where what
- 40:51Speaker 2: they think about there. And you know, if they if
- 40:54Speaker 2: something makes sense that they feel like they can make it,
- 40:56Speaker 2: you know, work in free agency, they'll do that. And
- 40:58Speaker 2: we've seen that. We've seen them trade for guys, but
- 41:01Speaker 2: I mean the best way is to draft, develop, and
- 41:03Speaker 2: and and pay their their guys. But it not gonna lie.
- 41:08Speaker 2: I mean, you know they haven't some of these guys
- 41:10Speaker 2: haven't haven't hit to the level of their contract, and
- 41:12Speaker 2: they really really hasn't happened in a while. I mean,
- 41:16Speaker 2: I mean, CD, I think you can say is doing
- 41:18Speaker 2: that Deck. I mean, that's always gonna be a tough one.
- 41:20Speaker 2: At sixty million a year, he's gonna have to go
- 41:22Speaker 2: to the playoffs and and every year, and and you know,
- 41:25Speaker 2: be it right up there, and the MVP talk that
- 41:27Speaker 2: that's that's what that's what it is, you know, And
- 41:30Speaker 2: so I'm not saying he's underperforming. I'm just saying, I mean,
- 41:34Speaker 2: it's almost impossible for him to do that. But he's
- 41:36Speaker 2: had a great season. Yeah, we we could talk all
- 41:40Speaker 2: about philosophy and and and free agency and all that.
- 41:42Speaker 2: This probably isn't the time for it. Let's go to
- 41:45Speaker 2: uh William and Beaver West, Virginia. William.
- 41:48Speaker 18: What's up, Thick? How you do it? Surge?
- 41:50Speaker 15: Good?
- 41:51Speaker 18: Thanksgiving?
- 41:51Speaker 2: It was great? Thank you man?
- 41:53Speaker 18: How did I really enjoyed it?
- 41:55Speaker 2: I call him?
- 41:56Speaker 18: I mean a lot of people have touched on what
- 41:57Speaker 18: I was going to talk about in the special things
- 41:59Speaker 18: and stuff out. Can't believe how they've fallen off the
- 42:01Speaker 18: cliffs from last year.
- 42:02Speaker 6: My biggest concern.
- 42:04Speaker 18: I mean, and I know we're all going for Woody
- 42:06Speaker 18: to get in the Hall of Fame, but did you
- 42:07Speaker 18: see where I think else Greenwood made the cut to
- 42:11Speaker 18: getting and Harvey Martin did not. Again, there was the
- 42:14Speaker 18: only two guys the All Seventies Decade team to not
- 42:18Speaker 18: be in the Hall of Fame. I don't know what's
- 42:19Speaker 18: going to take to get Harvey either in the Ring
- 42:21Speaker 18: of Honor but yeah, or in the Hall of Fame.
- 42:25Speaker 18: I just don't want to see you had a comment
- 42:26Speaker 18: on that. And secondly, is there any way you could
- 42:29Speaker 18: talk to talk to somebody and see we can somehow
- 42:31Speaker 18: ever get the bad Luck blue back from the seventies.
- 42:33Speaker 18: I love those uniforms. I've harped on it for years.
- 42:35Speaker 18: I just suppise we could get them back, you mean,
- 42:37Speaker 18: like the blue blue, like the Navy blue when they
- 42:40Speaker 18: staw back in Harvey. You know they used to wear
- 42:42Speaker 18: in the late seven I think the one they lost
- 42:43Speaker 18: to the Eagles in the eighties n Steve Tylo game,
- 42:45Speaker 18: which was treated their super Bowl.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Right right now. But to me, those are blue, you
- 42:52Speaker 2: know what I mean? They look like the Lions blue almost.
- 42:57Speaker 18: If they were sweet.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you, but yeah,
- 43:01Speaker 2: we went to way more of a navy look. Yeah,
- 43:05Speaker 2: they didn't have a lot of success in those I
- 43:08Speaker 2: think it was like eighty one or eighty two when yeah,
- 43:11Speaker 2: eighty one I think is when they went to a
- 43:13Speaker 2: little bit more of the navy look. But yeah, before that,
- 43:15Speaker 2: it was it was very very blue.
- 43:18Speaker 15: Uh.
- 43:18Speaker 18: Yeah, I'd like to say, do have the pro shops?
- 43:20Speaker 18: I will they have the pro shop?
- 43:22Speaker 2: That's true, that's true. A lot of things they have
- 43:24Speaker 2: in the pro shop I'd like to see on the field,
- 43:26Speaker 2: all right, thanks, thanks, Well, yeah, I mean you hit
- 43:30Speaker 2: on special teams, that's it. Not hasn't been special really
- 43:34Speaker 2: this this year. You say that, like they blocked what
- 43:40Speaker 2: they blocked two punts and field goals and they haven't
- 43:45Speaker 2: had a kick return I don't think for a touchdown
- 43:47Speaker 2: this year or a punt, So that's that's been the
- 43:50Speaker 2: big key. But I mean they've had some some moments,
- 43:53Speaker 2: but not as many as we've seen in the past.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Harvey Martin, you know, I can't explain that one really.
- 44:00Speaker 2: I think, you know, obviously he's not in the Ring
- 44:02Speaker 2: of Honor. I don't really know why that is. You know,
- 44:07Speaker 2: he's right there at the cut. I think they feel
- 44:10Speaker 2: like that Doomsday defense. You know, there were a lot
- 44:12Speaker 2: of really good players there, and you know, Randy White
- 44:16Speaker 2: got in. But I think that's about it though, right
- 44:18Speaker 2: from the seventies and on, like true seventies. I think
- 44:22Speaker 2: Lee Leroy, Jordan and Chuck Halley a little bit more
- 44:25Speaker 2: sixty seventies, but those late seventies teams, those ones that
- 44:27Speaker 2: went to the Super Bowl two years in a row.
- 44:30Speaker 2: You know, Too Tall Jones is not in and and
- 44:32Speaker 2: and I say, let me also refer Cliff Harris was
- 44:37Speaker 2: a big member of that, and he was He's in
- 44:39Speaker 2: the Ring of Honor, but like Charlie Waters isn't. So
- 44:41Speaker 2: I think that they kind of drew a line there.
- 44:43Speaker 2: And then there's a lot of people that feel like
- 44:45Speaker 2: some of those those defenders, like Harvey Martin, Too Tall Jones,
- 44:49Speaker 2: Charlie Waters. I know some that will really say way
- 44:52Speaker 2: back kind of sixty seventies at Cornell Green could be
- 44:55Speaker 2: included in there. And you know, but that if everyone
- 44:58Speaker 2: got in. And believe me, every single game I walk
- 45:01Speaker 2: on the field with Derek Eagleton. We walk on the
- 45:03Speaker 2: field and we see we look up and see everybody's
- 45:05Speaker 2: ring of honor when we're on the road, and I mean,
- 45:09Speaker 2: I know football, and he knows football, and we know
- 45:12Speaker 2: the history of football. There's a lot of names up
- 45:14Speaker 2: there that we've never heard of before. And you're like, wow,
- 45:17Speaker 2: they just let everybody in, you know, And so you
- 45:19Speaker 2: don't want that, you don't. You don't want that because
- 45:21Speaker 2: you wanted to mean something. So it's that's that's part
- 45:24Speaker 2: of it.
- 45:24Speaker 15: All right.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Let's go one more caller here before we ended. This
- 45:26Speaker 2: is another first time caller, Tom in Florida.
- 45:29Speaker 6: Hey, buddy, how you doing.
- 45:31Speaker 2: What's up?
- 45:32Speaker 6: Listen, man, all this talk about free agents and drafts
- 45:36Speaker 6: and this, it doesn't matter, doesn't It's been thirty thirty
- 45:40Speaker 6: years of futility and there's only been one constant browdy
- 45:44Speaker 6: the pretend GM okay, and what bothers me is listen,
- 45:50Speaker 6: there weren't you know, the most expensive. He made the
- 45:53Speaker 6: Jones family rich. But what he's done to the fans.
- 45:56Speaker 6: At the expense of the fans, we used to be
- 45:59Speaker 6: considered the Krem de la crem is a football team.
- 46:03Speaker 6: Now you know, we were talked about in the same
- 46:05Speaker 6: notion as the Steelers organization and the night. Now we've
- 46:10Speaker 6: talked about as with like the Jets and the Browns,
- 46:14Speaker 6: and there's only one guy to blame, the pretend GM
- 46:18Speaker 6: and listen, I'm gonna say something and you don't have
- 46:20Speaker 6: to take my word. But I'm in Florida now, but
- 46:23Speaker 6: I lived in Valley Ranch for nine years. Used to
- 46:25Speaker 6: go to Bruno's Italian restaurant and the Chinese restaurant there
- 46:29Speaker 6: and that con and as in the corporate world, I
- 46:31Speaker 6: was living pretty large. I was in a lot of
- 46:33Speaker 6: a lot of good situations. Ran into cowboy guys. I'm
- 46:37Speaker 6: gonna say something and you don't have to take my
- 46:39Speaker 6: word for it. But when you see Troy, if you're
- 46:42Speaker 6: running to Michael or emmittt you asked them was it
- 46:47Speaker 6: Jerry or was it Jimmy? And I know the answer.
- 46:51Speaker 6: You could argue it all day long. Until he gives
- 46:54Speaker 6: up football control, we will never win anything. And here's
- 46:58Speaker 6: the only question that should ever be asked of Jerry
- 47:01Speaker 6: when he when he puts his face in front of
- 47:03Speaker 6: a microphone, Jerry, except for you and your son, everybody
- 47:07Speaker 6: knows it was Jimmy, not you. You've ran the football
- 47:11Speaker 6: operations of this team for thirty years. And you've turned
- 47:15Speaker 6: it into a joke. And that's the only question he
- 47:18Speaker 6: should be asked every time he shows his face. But
- 47:21Speaker 6: the press won't do it. I don't blame you, you're
- 47:23Speaker 6: on his payroll. But I watched the damn uh you know,
- 47:26Speaker 6: press conferences and stuff after the games, and it's like
- 47:30Speaker 6: they're all so afraid they won't get invited to the
- 47:32Speaker 6: track of cocerts. They're terrible. They're terrible, terrible.
- 47:37Speaker 2: All right, Tom, I don't know, like why would we
- 47:40Speaker 2: ask that question, like like why does it matter?
- 47:42Speaker 20: What?
- 47:43Speaker 2: Like what?
- 47:43Speaker 6: Because because there's no because he press him, there's no
- 47:48Speaker 6: pressure on him, you know, if you do it anywhere,
- 47:51Speaker 6: any any for any other reason for the fans, because
- 47:54Speaker 6: I guarantee you a lot of cowboy fans feel the
- 47:57Speaker 6: way I do.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they probably they do. They do.
- 48:01Speaker 6: Well. You don't agree you think he's been You name
- 48:03Speaker 6: me another person in sports that's control of their team
- 48:07Speaker 6: for thirty years with his record that still has a job.
- 48:10Speaker 6: I mean, I know he owns the team. You can't
- 48:12Speaker 6: do anything about that. Yeah, but at least call him
- 48:15Speaker 6: out for what he is. He's a fraud, is a GM.
- 48:17Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, all right, thanks for the thanks for the call.
- 48:20Speaker 2: I hate that that's the last one. But yeah, hey,
- 48:23Speaker 2: that's that's your opinion. That's fine. A lot of people have,
- 48:26Speaker 2: you know, feel that way. I know this. Jerry has
- 48:29Speaker 2: a lot of voices in there. You know, there's a
- 48:32Speaker 2: lot of people's He's the GM, there's no doubt about it.
- 48:34Speaker 2: He's got a lot of a lot of help that
- 48:36Speaker 2: they make decisions as one. You know, it's funny Will McLeay.
- 48:41Speaker 2: It's a lot of a lot of praise for a
- 48:43Speaker 2: lot of that. So it's it is. It does seem
- 48:46Speaker 2: that way. If it's a bad move, it's it's Jerry.
- 48:48Speaker 2: If you know, if it's a good move, then Will
- 48:51Speaker 2: or whoever else coaches, they make these moves together, just
- 48:54Speaker 2: like Jerry and Jimmy did. Jerry Jimmy made moves together
- 48:57Speaker 2: that they both say that. You know, they haven't really
- 48:59Speaker 2: won with out each other either, So you can say
- 49:01Speaker 2: all you want you about Jimmy that's great, and he was.
- 49:05Speaker 2: He built a lot of that, there's no doubt about it.
- 49:07Speaker 2: He couldn't win anywhere else and the Cowboys haven't had
- 49:11Speaker 2: that success without him too. That's just kind of the
- 49:14Speaker 2: way it is, but that, you know, losing does that.
- 49:17Speaker 2: Losing to the Lions does that. I haven't heard from
- 49:19Speaker 2: Tom before, probably won't hear again from him, but you know,
- 49:22Speaker 2: you can have that opinion. There's no doubt about it.
- 49:24Speaker 2: That's what this show is for. So we appreciate that.
- 49:27Speaker 2: But you know, not everybody has to share that. But
- 49:30Speaker 2: I understand the frustration. There's no doubt about it. But
- 49:33Speaker 2: you know, it's the Cowboys. They're certainly not those other
- 49:37Speaker 2: teams you mentioned. I don't see them playing on Thursday nights, Thursday,
- 49:41Speaker 2: four games and seventeen days. No, I don't think anyone's
- 49:44Speaker 2: viewing them that way. I just think I don't know
- 49:45Speaker 2: who you're talking to, but then not the people that
- 49:47Speaker 2: are making decisions. All right, let's end this thing. Chris Beam, great,
- 49:52Speaker 2: great stuff. Thanks for a lot of these first time callers.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Really good stuff there. We'll do it again tomorrow. We
- 49:58Speaker 2: go all right for Chris Bey, I'm nick even We'll
- 50:00Speaker 2: see tomorrow on Cowboys storyline.
- 50:02Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 50:05Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
