- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.

- 0:08Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 4: This these Cowboys storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 0:21Speaker 5: It's time for Cowboys storyline. Thursday, November fourteenth. I'm Nick Eatman,
- 0:27Speaker 5: and let's talk Cowboys and Houston Texans. As we're just
- 0:31Speaker 5: a few days away from the Cowboys having their first
- 0:33Speaker 5: Monday night game of the season and needed that extra
- 0:37Speaker 5: time to try to get ready for Houston. They come
- 0:40Speaker 5: into town six and four. Cowboys obviously three and six,
- 0:44Speaker 5: losing four straight games and all four games at AT
- 0:48Speaker 5: and T Stadium. Got to get a win this week
- 0:52Speaker 5: in Arlington. Got to make sure the Texans have still
- 0:55Speaker 5: never won a game up here in Dallas. Not the
- 0:59Speaker 5: one that counts talking about your preseason finale for the
- 1:02Speaker 5: Governor's Cup. We're talking about real football games. Account The
- 1:06Speaker 5: Texans haven't won yet, and I'm sure that this is
- 1:10Speaker 5: their best chance to do it. If they're going to
- 1:11Speaker 5: come up here and win. We'll see if the Cowboys
- 1:13Speaker 5: can keep that trend going and break a couple of
- 1:17Speaker 5: other wines this season along the way. Eight aight A eight, five,
- 1:20Speaker 5: five two two nine seven, we can talk about injuries,
- 1:25Speaker 5: talk about the lineup changes, maybe quarterback position of course,
- 1:29Speaker 5: Cooper rush Tree, Lance Will Greer is back on the
- 1:34Speaker 5: practice squad, and talk about all that good stuff, uh
- 1:37Speaker 5: and whatever else you want to talk about. For the
- 1:40Speaker 5: most part, Chuck in Bridge City, Texas is first.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Chuckster. Hey, Nick, what's up?
- 1:50Speaker 6: Hey?
- 1:51Speaker 7: So I heard you say we lost four rows? But
- 1:54Speaker 7: also tests that lost three is the last four?
- 1:58Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:59Speaker 7: Yeah, the shadow In a different way, their games has
- 2:02Speaker 7: been more competitive. Still, they're they're vulnerable.
- 2:05Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they're going to play a close game. I mean,
- 2:07Speaker 5: that's that's what they do. They they've they've played eight
- 2:11Speaker 5: eight out of ten or very very close. They've been
- 2:13Speaker 5: blown out once and they blew out, I think, to
- 2:15Speaker 5: the Patriots. But I mean most of these games are close.
- 2:19Speaker 5: So we'll see if the Cowboys can keep it at
- 2:21Speaker 5: least keep it that way. And then and then you
- 2:23Speaker 5: got to figure out a way to win in the fourth.
- 2:26Speaker 7: Well, we can't seem to put all four quarters together.
- 2:30Speaker 7: We'll have a good quarter here, good quarter there, and
- 2:33Speaker 7: then we'll just well, of course the third quarter we
- 2:35Speaker 7: get blown out every game.
- 2:36Speaker 6: But if we could just somehow find a.
- 2:38Speaker 7: Way to be consistent every quarter. And my opinion, I
- 2:43Speaker 7: feel like they need to just stick to the run game,
- 2:47Speaker 7: have the mindset that Rico needs to get twenty touches.
- 2:51Speaker 7: And I don't know if McCarthy's capable of calling the
- 2:56Speaker 7: game like that, but that's just my opinion what I know.
- 2:58Speaker 7: But yeah, that's I would have liked to look for
- 3:01Speaker 7: this game, Nick. And yeah, I also I want to
- 3:04Speaker 7: throw this up. I got to see the Romo has
- 3:07Speaker 7: been out of JJ Watt live in person, So.
- 3:12Speaker 5: That was a Yeah, what a game that was of
- 3:15Speaker 5: twenty twenty fourteen. Yeah, not only that play, but also
- 3:22Speaker 5: dos Bryant caught a pass and was it It might
- 3:25Speaker 5: have been in overtime. I don't know if that was
- 3:27Speaker 5: overtime game or not, but it was in the fourth quarter.
- 3:29Speaker 5: He had an unbelievable catch down the sideline. There's no
- 3:32Speaker 5: way he should have caught that pass. But that was
- 3:34Speaker 5: one that Yeah, Houston almost won that one. They didn't,
- 3:38Speaker 5: but yeah, that what a great play by Romo and the.
- 3:42Speaker 6: Fans let me know it too.
- 3:43Speaker 7: They had a lot of talking more trash than he did.
- 3:48Speaker 5: Well, they've never won anything, you know, I mean, they've
- 3:51Speaker 5: never won anything. So they they they they probably have
- 3:54Speaker 5: banners of the Governor's Cup in preseason, you know, and
- 3:57Speaker 5: it's just kind of the way way it is. And
- 4:01Speaker 5: you know, their first team left them and they got
- 4:03Speaker 5: another one and you know, sorry, you can tell how
- 4:06Speaker 5: I feel about that.
- 4:07Speaker 1: All right, let's go.
- 4:08Speaker 5: Let's thank you Chuck for the for the called third quarter,
- 4:12Speaker 5: no doubt about it. You know, the Cowboys, if they
- 4:15Speaker 5: can somehow figure out a way to win that quarter,
- 4:20Speaker 5: it might change some things around.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I was looking at some stats there.
- 4:24Speaker 5: I mean they've been they've outscored teams, you know, are
- 4:28Speaker 5: out gained them in the fourth quarter and outscored them.
- 4:31Speaker 5: And first and second is you know, they're a little
- 4:35Speaker 5: bit down. But the third quarter is from the yard
- 4:39Speaker 5: standpoints almost double. Now, part of that is the fact
- 4:42Speaker 5: that they keep getting the ball to start the game. Uh,
- 4:45Speaker 5: because they're choosing to get the ball to start the
- 4:48Speaker 5: game and it's not always working out, and it rarely
- 4:51Speaker 5: has worked out. So that means they're not getting in
- 4:53Speaker 5: to start the third quarter and they're not stopping anyone.
- 4:56Speaker 5: I mean, teams are taking the ball in the third
- 4:57Speaker 5: quarter scoring. I think Philadelphia was the first team this
- 5:02Speaker 5: season or first team since Week one to not score
- 5:05Speaker 5: a touchdown right off the bat in the third quarter.
- 5:08Speaker 5: But still they're not winning the third quarter. They're not
- 5:11Speaker 5: coming out of the locker room. Now, locker room adjustments.
- 5:14Speaker 5: This isn't half, This isn't high school okay, where both
- 5:17Speaker 5: bands are on the field and it's thirty minutes, It's not.
- 5:20Speaker 5: It's it's thirteen minutes. It's pretty quick. Every halftime showed
- 5:26Speaker 5: that there has ever happened in an NFL game, has
- 5:30Speaker 5: the punters and kickers coming out kicking off the side,
- 5:33Speaker 5: because that's how quickly it is. You know, for get
- 5:37Speaker 5: them to come out, so there's not a lot of
- 5:38Speaker 5: adjustments to be made. But you know, if you could
- 5:41Speaker 5: make an adjustment on the sideline of a play, you know,
- 5:44Speaker 5: in the middle of the first quarter or second quarter
- 5:47Speaker 5: or whatever, then you can do something at halftime. And
- 5:49Speaker 5: the Cowboys are not doing that, all right. Robbie Coco Beach, Florida.
- 5:52Speaker 6: Hey, Nick are you today?
- 5:54Speaker 4: Man?
- 5:54Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 5:56Speaker 8: I'm good, I'm feeling I hope positive about this game.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Well, Lily, Robbie, when are you not positive?
- 6:03Speaker 8: You're one of the most I have a fifty three
- 6:05Speaker 8: year old man with two beautiful kids that are four
- 6:08Speaker 8: and nine twice great.
- 6:09Speaker 9: Man.
- 6:11Speaker 8: I love the Cowboys. I loved him and nine. That's
- 6:15Speaker 8: all year old trol though.
- 6:17Speaker 1: I got a couple more.
- 6:18Speaker 5: But but yeah that was well right, yeah yeah, teenagers
- 6:23Speaker 5: and then right back football. You know, but you know,
- 6:27Speaker 5: you always call in with a good perspective, and so
- 6:29Speaker 5: I like that. That that's good. That's hard to do,
- 6:33Speaker 5: especially when you have four and nine. So I really
- 6:35Speaker 5: give you probb what.
- 6:37Speaker 8: I appreciate it.
- 6:39Speaker 9: Man.
- 6:40Speaker 8: I'm still I hear people saying, yeah, let's lose a
- 6:42Speaker 8: bunch of games. I hope we lose and get a
- 6:45Speaker 8: better draft pick and better draftics throughout the whole draftic.
- 6:47Speaker 10: Men.
- 6:47Speaker 8: I still I still want to see his fight, man,
- 6:50Speaker 8: I still want to see his playing. I mean, I
- 6:51Speaker 8: played a little bit of college ball. I wasn't really good,
- 6:54Speaker 8: but I played high school ball was good. I want
- 6:57Speaker 8: to see his keep fighting. I don't care if we
- 6:59Speaker 8: get the twenty eight draft pick or the first or
- 7:02Speaker 8: the thirty second. I mean, just play football.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I'm with you.
- 7:06Speaker 5: I'm with you, and I'll argue with people all day
- 7:08Speaker 5: long about that. And you know it doesn't mean you're
- 7:11Speaker 5: not a true fan if you want them to have
- 7:14Speaker 5: a better draft pick. It's not about that, but it's
- 7:17Speaker 5: just when it like I always look at the draft
- 7:20Speaker 5: pick as the silver lining of it all. You know,
- 7:23Speaker 5: it's like, I'm trying to win, trying to win, trying
- 7:26Speaker 5: to win. Well, if you don't, well maybe you get
- 7:29Speaker 5: a better draft pick. But that's after the fact, that's
- 7:32Speaker 5: not in the middle of the game or the first
- 7:34Speaker 5: of the game, and you're like, no, no, don't want
- 7:36Speaker 5: them to win. I don't want them to keep this coach.
- 7:39Speaker 5: I don't want them to get a better Now. I
- 7:40Speaker 5: can't do that like that. That doesn't work. The draft pick,
- 7:44Speaker 5: the draft status and all that stuff happens afterwards of like,
- 7:48Speaker 5: all right, well, at least at least you get that,
- 7:50Speaker 5: you know that kind of stuff.
- 7:52Speaker 8: That's and two more simple things. One I wanted to
- 7:56Speaker 8: shout out to Derek Eagleton for putting all this together.
- 7:58Speaker 8: I know you guys have worked in hand for so
- 8:00Speaker 8: many years, and he has put together a great team,
- 8:03Speaker 8: and uh, it's really appreciated if it passed on Kyle
- 8:06Speaker 8: Yeoman's you Nick, the new Nick, everybody, I mean, the
- 8:11Speaker 8: whole team.
- 8:11Speaker 6: That's great.
- 8:12Speaker 8: I love how he mixes things up. I love I
- 8:14Speaker 8: brought brought us back. I just wanted to say thanks
- 8:17Speaker 8: to you guys man and keep us entertained. And even
- 8:19Speaker 8: when it's off season, we're still getting news and of
- 8:22Speaker 8: it and stuff and it's just great.
- 8:23Speaker 10: So thank you.
- 8:24Speaker 5: Guys, well, thanks for saying that. I appreciate that. And
- 8:27Speaker 5: he does a good job with that. I don't know
- 8:30Speaker 5: if that was his only point or last point, but
- 8:32Speaker 5: thank you Robbie for the for the call, and uh,
- 8:36Speaker 5: you know it's Derek does a does a good job
- 8:40Speaker 5: with that, and and he's we always joke about it
- 8:42Speaker 5: that he keeps adding these podcasts and podcasts is about
- 8:46Speaker 5: to kill Chris. But uh, I think we're I mean,
- 8:49Speaker 5: I think we're massed out right now. I don't know
- 8:51Speaker 5: if we have any more time, any more time slots
- 8:53Speaker 5: unless we just want to go like you know, eight
- 8:55Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning or something like that, or or
- 8:58Speaker 5: the nightcast or whatever.
- 9:00Speaker 1: But as it.
- 9:01Speaker 5: Stands right now, we're pretty full, a lot a lot
- 9:03Speaker 5: of good mix of things as well, all right. Eight
- 9:06Speaker 5: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. I
- 9:08Speaker 5: believe our lines are open right now, unless Chris, unless
- 9:11Speaker 5: there's another one but I think I.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Got Nigel and Arizona hijel.
- 9:16Speaker 6: Okay, Nigel, Hey, Nicko, are you at the Thursday?
- 9:21Speaker 7: Man?
- 9:22Speaker 1: Are you doing it?
- 9:23Speaker 11: I got I'm doing great, Okay.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Good, good good. Yeah.
- 9:27Speaker 11: I came in with very low expectations, so I'm not
- 9:30Speaker 11: you know, I'm not tripping on what's happening. I thought
- 9:33Speaker 11: we play a little better. But I have a few questions.
- 9:35Speaker 11: Answer the ones you wish. I thought Awesome did a
- 9:39Speaker 11: great job last week. So my question would be keep
- 9:43Speaker 11: him to the left, put Giton over to the right
- 9:45Speaker 11: because we know Steele. I mean, he's great at run block,
- 9:48Speaker 11: but he's just having such a hard time in the
- 9:51Speaker 11: past rush and then let's see, well, with the draft
- 9:56Speaker 11: coming up, that's kind of what we got to look
- 9:58Speaker 11: forward to. Do you think we go defense or offense?
- 10:02Speaker 11: I know the Boise State running backs, Texas native and
- 10:06Speaker 11: he's already said that would be his dream. So do
- 10:08Speaker 11: you think we go with an offensive player defensive end?
- 10:12Speaker 11: And you think Mingo plays? Yeah, but I got I appreciate.
- 10:18Speaker 5: Your next stuff, good stuff, Nigel, appreciate that, man. I
- 10:22Speaker 5: hope so I hope Mingo plays. I mean it's about them,
- 10:26Speaker 5: you know, it's not about conditioning.
- 10:28Speaker 1: It shouldn't be.
- 10:29Speaker 5: I mean, he's he's been playing in for for Carolina
- 10:32Speaker 5: and so practicing all that stuff, so you'd be in
- 10:35Speaker 5: football shape. You gotta know the terminology and know the plays.
- 10:40Speaker 5: But you're adding a new quarterback in here, new mix.
- 10:43Speaker 5: So yeah, I think that there's ways to get him
- 10:47Speaker 5: activated and at least start.
- 10:49Speaker 1: You know, implementing him into the offense. So yeah, this
- 10:52Speaker 1: is this is this is why you did it.
- 10:54Speaker 5: You know, you you made a move so you could
- 10:56Speaker 5: get a jump start next year that you could have
- 10:59Speaker 5: a fourth round pick that that that you think has
- 11:03Speaker 5: talent better than that. That is not a rookie. He's
- 11:07Speaker 5: a two year guy. He's got some experience with your players.
- 11:11Speaker 5: So that's that's the advantages is to play him right
- 11:14Speaker 5: now now, don't throw him out here when he's not ready.
- 11:17Speaker 5: But at the same time, get him ready, and that's
- 11:20Speaker 5: part of it. I mean, be ready now. As for
- 11:23Speaker 5: the right tackle move and and all that.
- 11:27Speaker 1: I like that idea. I mean why not.
- 11:29Speaker 5: I mean you want you want to get these young
- 11:31Speaker 5: players and see if they can you know, develop as well.
- 11:36Speaker 5: I don't think they're ready to give up on Terrence Steele.
- 11:38Speaker 5: I mean at all. They did, They did sign him,
- 11:41Speaker 5: and they think he's he's still relatively young player as well.
- 11:46Speaker 5: I don't think he forgot how to play football or
- 11:48Speaker 5: anything like that. I think he's had some some issues there,
- 11:51Speaker 5: but but I don't think he you know, I don't
- 11:53Speaker 5: think he can not turn it around.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine.
- 11:56Speaker 5: And as for the draft stuff, I mean, you're gonna
- 12:02Speaker 5: there's not a position out there in the first round.
- 12:06Speaker 5: Let's say you picked. I don't know, they'll say it's
- 12:09Speaker 5: just right down the middle at fifteen. I mean, I
- 12:10Speaker 5: know that it'll probably be higher than that as what
- 12:12Speaker 5: it looks right now. But let's just say there wouldn't
- 12:18Speaker 5: be there wouldn't be a position that you wouldn't look at.
- 12:22Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, if the guy wasn't was an
- 12:24Speaker 5: all world corner, could make that case, definitely make the
- 12:28Speaker 5: case for a pass rush or defensive tackle. Linebacker probably
- 12:31Speaker 5: wouldn't be ranked that high, but if he was, you'd
- 12:34Speaker 5: look at it and say, wow, he could definitely help safety.
- 12:38Speaker 5: Same thing probably wouldn't be that high. But if he's
- 12:40Speaker 5: if he's that good, to take him, then he's a
- 12:43Speaker 5: game changer. Then certainly a tackle you would consider it. Guard,
- 12:47Speaker 5: you have to consider it, tight end maybe you know
- 12:53Speaker 5: again you're talking about players that are like game changers. Receiver, yeah,
- 13:00Speaker 5: running back, same, probably everything but quarterback. And some people
- 13:06Speaker 5: might even argue that, but but I don't. I think
- 13:08Speaker 5: you you wouldn't go that route. But all I'm saying
- 13:11Speaker 5: is is and even if it's higher than that, that
- 13:14Speaker 5: that that's fine. But my point is is that you
- 13:17Speaker 5: probably you can take the best player available that can
- 13:19Speaker 5: help you be ready to play right now, and he's
- 13:22Speaker 5: going to be at a position that could you know
- 13:24Speaker 5: that you could use Anthony and Miami next.
- 13:28Speaker 10: The quick what's not? My guy?
- 13:30Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 13:32Speaker 10: I'm doing pretty good, man. You know it's actual one
- 13:34Speaker 10: day off a week. I got to day so I
- 13:36Speaker 10: had to call and talk to my boy you're missing
- 13:39Speaker 10: and my very Swiss and boys you're missing.
- 13:46Speaker 1: It's funny.
- 13:48Speaker 10: I love it, but not to double back on yesterday.
- 13:52Speaker 10: But just hearing you now and hearing things I was waiting,
- 13:55Speaker 10: you make a lot of sense, man, And like I
- 13:57Speaker 10: always say, I give credit to call y'all make sense, especially,
- 14:01Speaker 10: you know, give it into next year. But that's next year.
- 14:03Speaker 10: That's that's next year. You know, it's things we can do.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Now.
- 14:07Speaker 10: I'm not a tanker. I don't want to tank. I
- 14:10Speaker 10: don't want to tank. As I said, you know, put
- 14:13Speaker 10: the best product out there. You know, we heard we
- 14:15Speaker 10: got the quarterback gone now this lady, but those guys
- 14:18Speaker 10: showed me something. They showed me something on defense. That
- 14:21Speaker 10: was a spart who thought those guys can do that?
- 14:24Speaker 10: I did because when I called you las week, Mom,
- 14:26Speaker 10: I told you, I called Chris knows, I call the
- 14:29Speaker 10: guys are hanging. I adn't talked to them in a minute.
- 14:32Speaker 10: And I said that, and I said that we like
- 14:33Speaker 10: I told you, if we contain quarterbacks and this and that,
- 14:36Speaker 10: and we sacked them because we can do that. I
- 14:38Speaker 10: don't care what we got. Jesse was like, Andrew, you wait,
- 14:40Speaker 10: what what do we have? Well, I tell you what,
- 14:43Speaker 10: Jesse and all the doubters, we got seven sacks in
- 14:46Speaker 10: two weeks. So don't tell me we can't do things.
- 14:50Speaker 10: Your offens is struggling, So hopefully they work whatever they
- 14:53Speaker 10: got to work out with Cooper Rush. If Cootons come back,
- 14:56Speaker 10: put the best product on the field and then that,
- 14:59Speaker 10: like I heard a lot of people say about the
- 15:00Speaker 10: young players. You're gonna play young players. If nobody's been
- 15:03Speaker 10: listening to and watching the games, you've been playing young players.
- 15:07Speaker 10: Now you make a switch to Jiwanni and the bell
- 15:10Speaker 10: for the safeties for hooking them. Put all the young
- 15:13Speaker 10: players are playing. So put the best product on the field.
- 15:16Speaker 10: Let's win some games, and then next year. Sort out
- 15:18Speaker 10: Next year and as we always do, we'll talk about
- 15:20Speaker 10: the draft, we'll talk about signings. We do it all
- 15:23Speaker 10: the time, they do, you know that. So that's what
- 15:25Speaker 10: I want. That's all I'm saying. And then we'll let
- 15:28Speaker 10: that take care of itself next year. Let's put the
- 15:30Speaker 10: best product out there and give me something offense, give
- 15:33Speaker 10: me something, because I believe that that just that would
- 15:37Speaker 10: have played and we would have stuck to the running
- 15:38Speaker 10: game last week with that defense doing what they did
- 15:41Speaker 10: in the first half, I think they would have game
- 15:44Speaker 10: more energy because they'd been like, man, we're doing something,
- 15:46Speaker 10: we're making, we're contributing, and we're holding these guys. But man,
- 15:49Speaker 10: them guys are let down. After we did five five
- 15:51Speaker 10: and outs or whatever in Toronto, they were let down.
- 15:53Speaker 10: They were like, man, we gave all we had. That's it.
- 15:56Speaker 10: So I think we put the best product out there, man,
- 15:58Speaker 10: and we just do what we can. And then we
- 15:59Speaker 10: were all right, sounds Uh yeah.
- 16:08Speaker 5: They they're they're playing young players. They have to play
- 16:10Speaker 5: young players because of the situation that they have with
- 16:14Speaker 5: injuries and all that. There's not a lot of you know,
- 16:17Speaker 5: there's a term that they use sometimes with for veteran
- 16:20Speaker 5: players called progress stoppers. You know, he's he's out there,
- 16:24Speaker 5: he's playing, but he's he's preventing this guy from this
- 16:29Speaker 5: young guy from playing. He's he's stopping his progress. And
- 16:32Speaker 5: and uh, I don't know if you have a lot
- 16:35Speaker 5: of progress stoppers out out there other than I mean,
- 16:39Speaker 5: you could argue Zach Martin is for t J.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Bass, But I mean, are you really going to do that?
- 16:44Speaker 1: Do you want to do that?
- 16:46Speaker 9: No?
- 16:46Speaker 1: Thanks, you know.
- 16:47Speaker 5: I mean, so there's a line to draw there, and
- 16:50Speaker 5: I know safety is the one that that a lot
- 16:52Speaker 5: of people say, you know, Hooker and Donovan Wilson are
- 16:55Speaker 5: are stopping progress for maybe one ya, Thomas mark Spell.
- 17:02Speaker 5: You know, I could I could see that argument. I
- 17:04Speaker 5: could see the Terrence Steel argument for Austin Richards or
- 17:07Speaker 5: guiding or or you know, whatever you want to how
- 17:10Speaker 5: you want to put those guys. But but also I
- 17:13Speaker 5: like Anthony's point there. You know, you do want to
- 17:15Speaker 5: put the best product on the field. These guys that
- 17:17Speaker 5: are there, that are playing, they deserve that. The fans
- 17:21Speaker 5: in the stands that are paying tickets, not not the
- 17:24Speaker 5: ones I'm not talking about, just the people here calling
- 17:26Speaker 5: the shows and saying I don't really care, I wanted
- 17:29Speaker 5: to lose. Well, well, are you going to the game?
- 17:32Speaker 1: You know? Are you? Are you getting the tickets?
- 17:34Speaker 10: Are you?
- 17:34Speaker 5: Are you getting your parking and you're going and you're
- 17:36Speaker 5: paying all the money that ad takes to go to
- 17:38Speaker 5: a game.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Are you doing that?
- 17:39Speaker 5: Because if you are, and also you know, bringing your
- 17:42Speaker 5: kids and all that that don't understand all this, they
- 17:45Speaker 5: deserve the right to have the best product out there
- 17:47Speaker 5: as well. I'm not trying to preach. I'm just saying
- 17:49Speaker 5: it's just remember the perspective here. You're not just sitting
- 17:53Speaker 5: at your couch in Virginia or Minnesota or New York
- 17:57Speaker 5: or whatever saying I don't really care. Well, that's fine,
- 18:00Speaker 5: but there's still eighty to ninety thousand people, if not more,
- 18:04Speaker 5: that that deserve a little bit better product than that,
- 18:07Speaker 5: and not really cared about whether they're going to pick
- 18:10Speaker 5: twelfth or eighteenth or fifth or whatever next year. Let's
- 18:13Speaker 5: go to Randy in Texas, Canas that bud.
- 18:17Speaker 1: How you doing.
- 18:19Speaker 6: I'm good, I'm good. It's been a while. Just like
- 18:23Speaker 6: my wife's aunt would always say, I just don't call saying.
- 18:28Speaker 9: Hey.
- 18:28Speaker 6: I also didn't think, god no, I also I want
- 18:32Speaker 6: to think being the godfather of the Randys, I don't
- 18:35Speaker 6: want to thank my team. I knew I wasn't going
- 18:37Speaker 6: to be able to call in for a while, and
- 18:39Speaker 6: so I sent up the Randy signal, kind of like
- 18:41Speaker 6: the bad signal. I mean, you got you, You got
- 18:44Speaker 6: your Randy from the West Coast, the.
- 18:46Speaker 1: South where, everywhere.
- 18:48Speaker 6: Yeah, and I even sprinkled in a little tricky one
- 18:52Speaker 6: r DJ that just happens to be my initials as
- 18:55Speaker 6: our DJA. So they all came together and held to
- 18:58Speaker 6: cut it down for me, and I appreciate them.
- 19:00Speaker 1: What about what if we get Randy White in here?
- 19:03Speaker 6: Hey, I tell him I'm actually named after him. My
- 19:06Speaker 6: dad was a Gallboy fan. That's how I got my
- 19:08Speaker 6: name though.
- 19:08Speaker 1: That'd be cool, That's pretty cool.
- 19:10Speaker 6: Yeah, I can handle that. Uh yeah, so uh set By,
- 19:15Speaker 6: I have not missed the show. I know, I hadn't
- 19:17Speaker 6: been on a little while.
- 19:18Speaker 10: I've not missed a show.
- 19:19Speaker 6: I've listened to all of them. Sitting back, I'm hoping
- 19:23Speaker 6: that the callers, all the callers understand when I say this.
- 19:26Speaker 6: I'm not trying to be a smart butt, but everybody
- 19:30Speaker 6: needs to realize right now what show you're on. There
- 19:33Speaker 6: are some shows that we'll talk trash about coaches and owners,
- 19:36Speaker 6: but this ain't the one. And yesterday, I think when
- 19:40Speaker 6: you explained yourself Nick about your feelings, start talking about owners, coaches,
- 19:45Speaker 6: players on other teams, et cetera, you've made yourself plea. Dude,
- 19:49Speaker 6: I really think that for now on, if somebody calls
- 19:52Speaker 6: in with that kind of a call, just answer what
- 19:55Speaker 6: you can answer and go on. You are, like I mean,
- 19:58Speaker 6: and I appreciate you you explain in yourself. I really do.
- 20:02Speaker 6: But when you said back and listen, you've done it
- 20:04Speaker 6: a lot. You've explained it a lot, so by now
- 20:07Speaker 6: knucklehead should know well so.
- 20:09Speaker 5: But Randy, let let me let me throw this out
- 20:11Speaker 5: there too. This is where it gets interesting for me,
- 20:14Speaker 5: is that yes, I I can sit and say, you know,
- 20:17Speaker 5: I can only go so far into some of the conversations.
- 20:20Speaker 5: But the show is created for the fans, the diehards
- 20:24Speaker 5: like yourself, that that that are that are passionate about
- 20:28Speaker 5: this team and have opinions, and they don't always have
- 20:30Speaker 5: to be the same as mine, and they certainly shouldn't be.
- 20:33Speaker 5: So there there's a line where, hey, you could go
- 20:36Speaker 5: ahead say what you need to say. Uh yeah, that's
- 20:38Speaker 5: a little premature for me, but that's what you're thinking,
- 20:42Speaker 5: that's what you guys are out there talking about.
- 20:44Speaker 1: I get it, go for it.
- 20:45Speaker 5: Just know that there's only so much that I can
- 20:47Speaker 5: add to that conversation, and then when it gets a
- 20:50Speaker 5: little over the line, we're gonna have to stop it.
- 20:52Speaker 5: But for the most part, it's it's you know, it's
- 20:54Speaker 5: a show for you guys as well. So that's where
- 20:57Speaker 5: I have to be real careful and the same No, no,
- 20:59Speaker 5: we're not talkingalking about that.
- 21:00Speaker 1: I get it right to.
- 21:02Speaker 6: Understand it, And that's where the collar needs to come
- 21:05Speaker 6: in and be smart enough to phrase what they're saying
- 21:09Speaker 6: to you into their own opinion and not praising it
- 21:13Speaker 6: in a way that they're asking you a quay.
- 21:15Speaker 1: I'm going to hang up and listen. That kind of stuff.
- 21:18Speaker 6: Yeah, right right. And other than that, guys, I appreciate
- 21:23Speaker 6: Joe and all the fans and that lovely lady they
- 21:26Speaker 6: called in the other day. That sounds like she's very
- 21:28Speaker 6: happy with life and that she liked me. I thought
- 21:31Speaker 6: that was that was pretty cool. And yeah, as far
- 21:36Speaker 6: as the Cowboys are concerned, hey, I think tomorrow they
- 21:38Speaker 6: should take practice off and they all need to go
- 21:41Speaker 6: out a couple of beers and bowl together and just
- 21:45Speaker 6: pull the bad news bears for the rest of the
- 21:46Speaker 6: year and be like, man, we're gonna go out there
- 21:48Speaker 6: and just have a blast. Forget all this seriousness. Seriousness
- 21:52Speaker 6: is getting them nowhere. Go out there and have fun
- 21:55Speaker 6: like you were when you were a kid, and you
- 21:57Speaker 6: never know what that'll bring you sometimes, you know what
- 21:59Speaker 6: I mean.
- 22:00Speaker 5: And with that, I'll hang all right, all right, Randy, Hey, yeah,
- 22:06Speaker 5: I was with you for about ninety five percent of
- 22:09Speaker 5: that call. I'm not so sure cowboys haven't had that
- 22:12Speaker 5: approach early on, you know, like like having fun going
- 22:16Speaker 5: out there, Like maybe they should practice a little bit
- 22:19Speaker 5: more like I don't know. Again, this is this has
- 22:24Speaker 5: been a tough season. There's no doubt about it. It's
- 22:27Speaker 5: been It's been tough. Whatever whatever they are doing with
- 22:32Speaker 5: with the practice regime schedule and all that, switch it
- 22:36Speaker 5: up a little bit, you know, just just something here
- 22:39Speaker 5: and there, and that's the thing, you that's what made
- 22:43Speaker 5: it so tough, Like with with those Jason Garrett teams,
- 22:46Speaker 5: Like there's a time where where you want consistency all
- 22:50Speaker 5: the time, but when it's not working, then it doesn't.
- 22:55Speaker 5: Then then the messages is tired, you know, like you
- 22:59Speaker 5: can't you can't keep If you can't you can keep
- 23:03Speaker 5: you know, preaching consistency over and over and over and
- 23:06Speaker 5: they're not winning games, then then for what what are
- 23:10Speaker 5: we doing this for? You know what I mean, it's
- 23:12Speaker 5: you've got to switch this up. And you do that
- 23:14Speaker 5: in your in your life. You do that with your
- 23:16Speaker 5: kids every now and again. We're gonna go here to
- 23:19Speaker 5: eat or we're gonna do this.
- 23:20Speaker 9: We're not.
- 23:20Speaker 5: We're not gonna do the same old thing all the time.
- 23:22Speaker 5: That's what makes it fun. And I think the Cowboys
- 23:24Speaker 5: need to kind of switch that up a little bit.
- 23:25Speaker 5: Let me take a break real quick on Cowboys storyline.
- 23:28Speaker 5: We'll be back to answer a couple more calls and

- 25:28Speaker 1: What's up?
- 25:30Speaker 13: Hey?
- 25:30Speaker 10: What's up?
- 25:30Speaker 2: Nick?
- 25:30Speaker 1: How are you good? How are you?
- 25:33Speaker 14: I'm doing well? Man?
- 25:34Speaker 9: Man.
- 25:35Speaker 14: I had a thought this morning. Can you imagine if
- 25:37Speaker 14: Dak was not signed before the season? Yeah, and life
- 25:42Speaker 14: injury all that like it fleshes out the way it has.
- 25:46Speaker 14: I mean, I don't know where we would be if
- 25:49Speaker 14: we had not signed him. You know what the conversation
- 25:52Speaker 14: would have been about resigning him at this point the season,
- 25:56Speaker 14: I don't know, chaos that we don't need to explore.
- 26:00Speaker 14: But it was a fun thought exercise this morning.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Yeah, who knows, who knows what that would have been, like,
- 26:06Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I'd be talking about a completely different thing.
- 26:10Speaker 5: Maybe maybe they'd have a better record, Maybe he would
- 26:13Speaker 5: have played better, maybe he would have played worse.
- 26:15Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 26:16Speaker 5: I mean, he was kind of motivated by that too.
- 26:18Speaker 5: And you know, I don't think he played like poorly
- 26:22Speaker 5: or anything like that. But who knows how he would
- 26:24Speaker 5: have played if he would have started the season that way.
- 26:27Speaker 5: I don't know. You'll never well know, So it doesn't matter, right.
- 26:32Speaker 14: Yeah, no, no, soing. But hey, there was a movie
- 26:35Speaker 14: long ago called The Incredibles, the animated movie, and you
- 26:39Speaker 14: had one of the kids who's like super fast, right,
- 26:42Speaker 14: and the whole families that attract me watching Dash and
- 26:46Speaker 14: they're like cheering him on, and he's like turning on
- 26:49Speaker 14: the jets and dusting everybody, and they're like no, no, no, slowdown,
- 26:51Speaker 14: slow down, And he's kind of like behind the pack.
- 26:54Speaker 14: And then they cheer him back to the middle of
- 26:55Speaker 14: the pack. I kind of feel like I'm like rooting
- 27:00Speaker 14: or a team where I'm like, now, I want to
- 27:02Speaker 14: see young players ball out. I want to see you
- 27:05Speaker 14: over shown, continue to get reps. Let's get Leah fall
- 27:08Speaker 14: in there, your your guy Thanksgiving Hunter Lipkey himself, Let's
- 27:12Speaker 14: keep exploring his potential. But it's also like, hey, if
- 27:17Speaker 14: the season is.
- 27:18Speaker 6: I don't know. I I we wait all.
- 27:20Speaker 14: Off season, I follow the draft, I follow OTAs, all
- 27:23Speaker 14: all of that, and like, I'm not never will quit
- 27:26Speaker 14: on the team. You know, I wait all year for
- 27:30Speaker 14: the actual game, and the product is disappointing this year.
- 27:33Speaker 14: So it's I feel like, as a fan, I'm not
- 27:36Speaker 14: rooting for them to lose at all, but it's like,
- 27:40Speaker 14: what's how do we how do we thread the needle
- 27:42Speaker 14: of like, let's get the talent evaluated and build for
- 27:48Speaker 14: the years to come while also being competitive this year.
- 27:52Speaker 14: I don't know the conundrum of of where we're at.
- 27:55Speaker 14: You know, some days I'm like, nah, we got to win,
- 27:58Speaker 14: but you know, let's let's actually get out here. And
- 28:00Speaker 14: then you know, they performed the way they have and
- 28:04Speaker 14: it's just like well, I don't know the the push
- 28:07Speaker 14: and pool of a season like this. So anyways, what
- 28:11Speaker 14: what young players? And we kind of have the same
- 28:14Speaker 14: cast of characters we talked about to Marven over shown
- 28:18Speaker 14: that I feel like Hunter Lucky has been talked about
- 28:21Speaker 14: for his time here. But what are some young players
- 28:25Speaker 14: that maybe aren't being talked about that You're like, hey,
- 28:28Speaker 14: let's let's get some reps for this guy.
- 28:30Speaker 8: We we heard a lot.
- 28:31Speaker 14: About this kid, haven't really seen anything, hasn't gotten the opportunities.
- 28:35Speaker 14: What are some some guys that you think could use
- 28:38Speaker 14: a few more reps in a season like this. So anyways,
- 28:42Speaker 14: that's all I got, man, I'll hang out. Thanks to
- 28:44Speaker 14: you and being you all.
- 28:45Speaker 5: Have a good day, all right, thank you, thanks for
- 28:48Speaker 5: the call that young players needing to play a little
- 28:52Speaker 5: bit more.
- 28:54Speaker 1: I mean.
- 28:57Speaker 5: I'm looking at at the list, I mean, but but
- 29:02Speaker 5: for who is that's the I mean yeah, I mean
- 29:05Speaker 5: I'm looking at players like Brevin span Ford, Okay, yeah,
- 29:09Speaker 5: i mean Scoon Maker. I mean they could play more,
- 29:11Speaker 5: But for for Ferguson, not ready to do that yet. First,
- 29:16Speaker 5: it's pretty young guy himself. He needs to keep playing.
- 29:19Speaker 5: I'm not looking to put well let's go out there
- 29:21Speaker 5: for for Terrence Steeler. I mean you can, you could
- 29:24Speaker 5: make the case for awesome Richards, but I mean even Hoffmin.
- 29:27Speaker 5: I mean, Hoffman's older than his than the starter and Bbe,
- 29:32Speaker 5: So you want BB to keep playing. I mean, I
- 29:35Speaker 5: just don't know if there are a lot of players
- 29:37Speaker 5: like that where we've said it before, Janya Thomas, Marquise Bell, Yeah,
- 29:41Speaker 5: they they could play for safety. I mean at safety,
- 29:45Speaker 5: Tyrus Wheat, he's having to play because of necessity. You know,
- 29:50Speaker 5: he may or may not have been on the team
- 29:52Speaker 5: had it not been for all these injuries there. So
- 29:55Speaker 5: Damon Clark, you know, he's older than mar maryus lea foul,
- 30:01Speaker 5: He's kind of he's not playing a whole lot right now.
- 30:05Speaker 5: Buddy Johnson, he's a guy you could maybe see a
- 30:07Speaker 5: little bit some of him. Makuamu is gonna have to
- 30:11Speaker 5: play some because I don't know if Kayln Carson doesn't
- 30:14Speaker 5: seem ready, there's not Flinoy you can you can make
- 30:18Speaker 5: a case for him to get there. But Bingo too,
- 30:21Speaker 5: I mean, Bingo's gotta gotta play. So there are some
- 30:25Speaker 5: cases that where that's happening. Sometimes sometimes it's really just
- 30:29Speaker 5: out of a necessity more than anything else. All right,
- 30:33Speaker 5: Sergeant Sue in Fort Worth is next, Sergeant Syu, what's up?
- 30:38Speaker 9: Eddie's everybody?
- 30:39Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 30:39Speaker 13: Nick?
- 30:39Speaker 9: Sorry by my voice, man, it's kind of gone after
- 30:41Speaker 9: my vacation.
- 30:42Speaker 1: That's all right, good man, what's going on with you?
- 30:45Speaker 9: Yeah? I wanted to touch on a number of things
- 30:48Speaker 9: that I'll do him as fast as possible. You know,
- 30:50Speaker 9: I try to speak talk, but one I just kind
- 30:53Speaker 9: of wanted to bring my perspective of how the show
- 30:56Speaker 9: has been going the last couple of days. I've had
- 30:58Speaker 9: to catch up. So I listened to like three or
- 31:00Speaker 9: four back to back and just to let everybody else
- 31:03Speaker 9: kind of know what the perspective for me kind of was.
- 31:06Speaker 12: Is.
- 31:06Speaker 9: It kind of felt like when the team is losing
- 31:10Speaker 9: in the locker room starts to kind of point the
- 31:12Speaker 9: fingers at each other, like the offense is blaming the
- 31:15Speaker 9: defense and the wide receivers, you're blaming the quarterback. And
- 31:18Speaker 9: it's like, I don't want us to be that because
- 31:20Speaker 9: it's not healthy for a locker room. It's not healthy
- 31:23Speaker 9: for us, you know what I mean? Like, let everybody
- 31:24Speaker 9: fan the way they fan, Let everybody do their things.
- 31:26Speaker 9: They don't need to call each other out, and let's
- 31:28Speaker 9: were calling each other out for positivity, which I want
- 31:30Speaker 9: to do right now.
- 31:31Speaker 14: Excuse me.
- 31:32Speaker 9: With Anthony and Miami, I very much feel like I
- 31:35Speaker 9: have a very similar outlook to him. We'll have the
- 31:38Speaker 9: best guys out there, and in doing that, you're gonna
- 31:41Speaker 9: be able to continue to develop these guys, you know
- 31:43Speaker 9: what I mean, Like if we think that you know,
- 31:45Speaker 9: for instance, I think I just heard you talking about it.
- 31:47Speaker 9: If we think that still you know, isn't like playing
- 31:50Speaker 9: up to par.
- 31:51Speaker 6: He can do better.
- 31:51Speaker 9: I mean, got to keep them out there. I mean,
- 31:53Speaker 9: let's not just slop them out and you know, the
- 31:55Speaker 9: running backing to continue to get their reps and these
- 31:57Speaker 9: young wide receivers and to continue to get their reps
- 31:59Speaker 9: and people who are on Team Tank and the people
- 32:01Speaker 9: who are on Team Try excuse me, we might all
- 32:05Speaker 9: get what we want. Anyways, at the end of the day,
- 32:08Speaker 9: we might be able to leave our best guys in there.
- 32:10Speaker 9: And because our best guys unfortunately right now, aren't doing
- 32:13Speaker 9: that well, we may also lose a lot of games.
- 32:15Speaker 9: I mean, the team isn't very very talented. I was
- 32:18Speaker 9: encouraged by what I saw on defense, and I'm super
- 32:20Speaker 9: excited to continue to watch them. But I mean, you know,
- 32:25Speaker 9: that's just kind of kind of what it is. You know,
- 32:27Speaker 9: like we're going to do the best that we can,
- 32:28Speaker 9: and if we end up losing a bunch of games
- 32:31Speaker 9: and getting a good draft pick, I mean, you know,
- 32:33Speaker 9: at least we did the best, put our best foot forward,
- 32:35Speaker 9: and the product that I was on the field was
- 32:37Speaker 9: the best that we've got. And I'm okay if that happens,
- 32:39Speaker 9: you know, excuse me, I hope that makes sense. Sorry
- 32:41Speaker 9: about my voice. Everybody have a.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Great day, man, all right, thank you.
- 32:45Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 32:45Speaker 5: I mean that's again, that's another positive perspective. But everybody,
- 32:50Speaker 5: everybody has their own own way of viewing this, and
- 32:55Speaker 5: you know, what works for them doesn't necessarily work for others.
- 32:58Speaker 5: But again, no no finger pointing here on the frustration.
- 33:02Speaker 5: I mean, I I I I get it. I mean,
- 33:06Speaker 5: I've been there. I'm a I'm a I'm a fan
- 33:09Speaker 5: of of of teams as well. Get you get frustrated.
- 33:12Speaker 5: You get frustrated based off of you know, a lot
- 33:15Speaker 5: of it too, is is the fact that you kind
- 33:17Speaker 5: of feel fooled because you get frustrated based when your
- 33:22Speaker 5: expectations are here, and so your expectations are at a
- 33:26Speaker 5: level based off of three twelve and five seasons. And
- 33:29Speaker 5: it's not like that they haven't had some injuries in
- 33:31Speaker 5: the last three years. They they've had some some some
- 33:34Speaker 5: things to deal with, but they they've overcome it. They've
- 33:36Speaker 5: played well, and uh they've they've you know, they've gotten
- 33:40Speaker 5: in a position where they they've you know, had a
- 33:42Speaker 5: chance to compete. They just didn't win in the playoffs,
- 33:45Speaker 5: but they they had good football teams. That's what that's
- 33:47Speaker 5: what the expectation was. You know, you look at the
- 33:50Speaker 5: at the roster, even though you lost some players, you
- 33:52Speaker 5: still expect that these young guys, who's going to be
- 33:55Speaker 5: the next guy to develop, who's going to be the
- 33:56Speaker 5: next Ferguson, the next to Ron Bland, the next you know,
- 34:00Speaker 5: fourth fifth round pick that they drafted, that's going to
- 34:03Speaker 5: take that that leap, and so you expected and then
- 34:07Speaker 5: when it doesn't happen this year, you feel number one,
- 34:11Speaker 5: feel fooled a little bit by you, Like, man, I
- 34:14Speaker 5: was so excited about this and and then it didn't work.
- 34:17Speaker 5: And there's reasons that it didn't work, But still I
- 34:20Speaker 5: think we all kind of expected it to be. We
- 34:22Speaker 5: all expected to be better than this. Even if you
- 34:25Speaker 5: had your doubts on your seat on your team on
- 34:27Speaker 5: this season, you didn't necessarily think it was going to
- 34:30Speaker 5: be sitting here at at at three and six where
- 34:32Speaker 5: they are all right, Joe in Kansas City?
- 34:36Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how are you good?
- 34:37Speaker 1: What's up?
- 34:38Speaker 5: Man?
- 34:38Speaker 16: First time caller?
- 34:39Speaker 5: Buddy were going later's first?
- 34:46Speaker 16: My first question is how do you like working with
- 34:48Speaker 16: the French fry King?
- 34:50Speaker 1: Nate Newton The French fry King?
- 34:53Speaker 16: Yeah, that's what Uh, that's what Madden called him one
- 34:57Speaker 16: day on on TV. They called him the French Riking.
- 35:01Speaker 16: He was always talking about food and then he would
- 35:03Speaker 16: talk about that and he called Naton eaton the French ranking.
- 35:06Speaker 16: So in our house he's known as the French Riking.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Oh okay, well I've never heard that one.
- 35:10Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, all right, Well I've worked with him sometimes,
- 35:13Speaker 5: not all the time, but yeah, I'm on some shows
- 35:15Speaker 5: with him every now and again.
- 35:17Speaker 1: I might have to throw that his way.
- 35:19Speaker 6: Uh okay.
- 35:20Speaker 16: I listened to him and you you're my couple of
- 35:23Speaker 16: my favorites. But my question for you is, uh, what
- 35:27Speaker 16: do you think about and Deuce Vaughn really looks good.
- 35:34Speaker 16: He reminds me of Barry Sanders when he runs, but
- 35:37Speaker 16: he's just not been out there. He's quick and starts.
- 35:40Speaker 16: But I mean, and our defense is looking great, I
- 35:44Speaker 16: mean right, not great, but you know, I mean like
- 35:46Speaker 16: overshown and having Michael Parsons back, even though it's a
- 35:50Speaker 16: bad season, which it is. I see hope in the
- 35:53Speaker 16: defense this year.
- 35:54Speaker 10: All right.
- 35:55Speaker 5: Yeah, And the last couple of weeks that they've they've
- 35:58Speaker 5: shown that. I'm not with you on the Barry Sanders, uh,
- 36:03Speaker 5: Duce Vaughan comparison. Barry Sanders was was good from the
- 36:09Speaker 5: minute he stepped on the field, and Duce is still
- 36:12Speaker 5: working his way into that. I see, the shorter guy
- 36:18Speaker 5: gotta have some power. He's he's got to play with
- 36:21Speaker 5: power though, too, and speed and and and you know,
- 36:24Speaker 5: acceleration and all that. Got to break some tackles. He
- 36:27Speaker 5: hasn't really shown the ability to break tackles for guys
- 36:30Speaker 5: that are in the NFL. He's done it in preseason
- 36:32Speaker 5: games in the fourth quarter against team guys that may
- 36:35Speaker 5: be on in practice squad maybe out of the league,
- 36:37Speaker 5: but when he had an opportunity to play playing games,
- 36:41Speaker 5: he's yet to show that on a consistent level. But
- 36:46Speaker 5: that I mean he might be a young guy, you
- 36:48Speaker 5: know from that last caller that called him. He might
- 36:50Speaker 5: be a young guy that that you you'd like to
- 36:52Speaker 5: at least just see, you know, and that that's probably
- 36:55Speaker 5: what's gonna happen here as the season goes on. Here
- 36:58Speaker 5: is you're gonna get into those Let's just find out,
- 37:01Speaker 5: one way or another, what Trey Lands can do, what
- 37:05Speaker 5: duce Von can do. Mingo, a lot of these guys
- 37:10Speaker 5: flinoy Kyln Carson, keep putting them out there. Just just
- 37:15Speaker 5: get some confidence, you know, uh, to just keep just
- 37:19Speaker 5: keep playing that you you know, a training camp, he
- 37:21Speaker 5: did some things. He was he was playing really well.
- 37:25Speaker 5: And then and then now you know they're they they
- 37:27Speaker 5: they're picking on him a little bit or a lot.
- 37:30Speaker 5: He's gonna have to kind of play through that, and
- 37:33Speaker 5: so we'll see where his confidence level is.
- 37:35Speaker 13: Uh.
- 37:35Speaker 5: But anyways, thanks for the call, Joe. I appreciate that.
- 37:38Speaker 5: Joe in Kansas City, first time caller. Let's go Chris
- 37:40Speaker 5: in San Angelo, Texas.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Mister Nick, how are you doing, sir?
- 37:44Speaker 10: Good?
- 37:45Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 37:46Speaker 2: I'm doing well? I was, I guess I was just
- 37:49Speaker 2: gonna focus on, uh, you know how the national media
- 37:53Speaker 2: kind of treats the Cowboys, You know how they're kind
- 37:56Speaker 2: of a little unfair, like, for instance, you know, picking
- 38:01Speaker 2: out their new coach forum saying Dak is a quitter
- 38:05Speaker 2: and all that manure. And yet in San Francisco there
- 38:09Speaker 2: was a fist fight on the sideline and a choke
- 38:12Speaker 2: hold and I wouldn't have even known that had I
- 38:16Speaker 2: not seen it live.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Yeah, So all that being said, I was gonna ask you,
- 38:21Speaker 2: in the your history with the Cowboys, what do you
- 38:24Speaker 2: think is the who do you think is the one
- 38:26Speaker 2: player who has got the probably the most unfair bad
- 38:32Speaker 2: rat that you can remember?
- 38:34Speaker 1: Tony Romo. Oh that was quick, Tony Romo.
- 38:39Speaker 5: Okay, I can't think of anyone that comes close to that. Uh,
- 38:44Speaker 5: that that was kind of treated unfair. In my opinion,
- 38:49Speaker 5: I think Tony Romo I call him all the time,
- 38:51Speaker 5: I said before, i'n't said it in a while. I
- 38:53Speaker 5: I nicknamed Tony Romo the diaper. I called him the
- 38:58Speaker 5: diaper because he covered up a lot of crap and
- 39:01Speaker 5: when you take the diaper off, doesn't smell good, doesn't
- 39:05Speaker 5: look good. And as we saw that in twenty fifteen.
- 39:09Speaker 5: I think Romo. I think for his story, the success
- 39:13Speaker 5: of an Eastern Illinois undrafted guy that comes in and
- 39:17Speaker 5: becomes the face of the franchise and does it, and
- 39:20Speaker 5: the way the player he was. I never understood what
- 39:23Speaker 5: what a I mean he got he got a bad rap.
- 39:25Speaker 1: But you know, he had some moments too.
- 39:28Speaker 5: Some of it was his own undoing, and some of
- 39:30Speaker 5: it was the fumbles and the gaps and maybe the
- 39:33Speaker 5: interceptions and some of the comments. But for the most part,
- 39:37Speaker 5: you know, he's the first guy that comes to mind.
- 39:39Speaker 5: I don't know what about you. Is there somebody that
- 39:41Speaker 5: that you think of that maybe treated unfairly or man?
- 39:45Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you just took the one I was going to say, uh,
- 39:49Speaker 2: and I'd have to rack my brain because I don't
- 39:52Speaker 2: you know, I'm not there. I don't know. You know, Hey,
- 39:55Speaker 2: which one of these guys is really a good guy? Yeah,
- 39:59Speaker 2: and a good beat, good person to be around in
- 40:02Speaker 2: the locker room, But they just get kind of pooped
- 40:05Speaker 2: on in the yeah, in the media.
- 40:08Speaker 5: Well, and it happens too when they get a contract.
- 40:11Speaker 5: You know, as soon as you get a contract, you
- 40:12Speaker 5: get kind of treated differently, you know. Terrence Newman is
- 40:16Speaker 5: another one. I think Terrence Newman was an outstanding football player,
- 40:19Speaker 5: and I think he get once he got signed in
- 40:22Speaker 5: his deal, he got you know, I think he got
- 40:25Speaker 5: kind of a bad rap as well. That that's another
- 40:28Speaker 5: one because he's always going to be the quarterback. But
- 40:31Speaker 5: but you know, just just from other other players that way,
- 40:34Speaker 5: I'll tell you another one underrated player that always kind
- 40:38Speaker 5: of got criticized because he had a penalty here and there.
- 40:41Speaker 5: But flows Al Adams was an unbelievable player and a
- 40:45Speaker 5: great story because everybody wanted him out in two thousand
- 40:50Speaker 5: and two out this this guy's terrible.
- 40:51Speaker 1: He's not very good.
- 40:52Speaker 5: And I'll never forget Bill Parcells showing up very first
- 40:55Speaker 5: press conference and he said, well, our first priority is
- 40:58Speaker 5: going to sign this Flowsel Adams.
- 40:59Speaker 1: We got to get him. And everyone was like really,
- 41:02Speaker 1: he was like, oh yeah, you kidding me? Player? Look
- 41:05Speaker 1: at him?
- 41:05Speaker 5: And then he makes five straight Pro Bowls, Like like,
- 41:09Speaker 5: I mean, sometimes guys need a little bit of encouragement
- 41:13Speaker 5: and all that. But but you know, he was another
- 41:16Speaker 5: one that way. But you know, Rombo and and I think, honestly,
- 41:18Speaker 5: when it's all said and done, I think if you
- 41:21Speaker 5: ask me if we're doing this show in ten years
- 41:23Speaker 5: and you asked me this that you could, you could
- 41:25Speaker 5: throw Dak's name on there as well, you know, so,
- 41:29Speaker 5: all right, appreciate.
- 41:30Speaker 2: It day you too.
- 41:33Speaker 5: All Right, we'll go to break here on Cowboys storyline
- 41:36Speaker 5: and we'll come back, maybe get another phone call before

- 42:53Speaker 5: Tomorrow Night, November fifteenth, Friday, at AT and T Stadium.
- 42:58Speaker 5: Mike Tyson taking on Jake Paul should be a lot
- 43:01Speaker 5: of fun. You can also watch it on Netflix, but
- 43:04Speaker 5: if you get a chance to go, limited tickets still available.
- 43:07Speaker 5: See geek dot com. The official chickening partner of AT
- 43:11Speaker 5: and T Stadium. I said this yesterday about Mike Tyson
- 43:14Speaker 5: and just growing up when we did. I mean, he
- 43:16Speaker 5: was just must watch. You know you had to watch him.
- 43:19Speaker 5: But I'll tell you a story. Brad Sham tells this
- 43:22Speaker 5: story from the mid eighties, like eighty five, and he
- 43:25Speaker 5: said that he was doing an interview with Tom Landry
- 43:30Speaker 5: and I think they were in a limo going somewhere,
- 43:33Speaker 5: going to some event, and Tom Landry was talking about
- 43:37Speaker 5: getting wanting to get back to the hotels a pre
- 43:39Speaker 5: it was a road game because he wanted to check
- 43:43Speaker 5: this this young fighter named Mike Tyson. Tom Landry like, hell,
- 43:47Speaker 5: it was all about the boxing, uh, And he was like,
- 43:50Speaker 5: there's this young fighter, he's going to be a star.
- 43:52Speaker 5: His name is Mike Tyson. And he was talking about
- 43:54Speaker 5: him and all that kind of stuff. So imagine that,
- 43:57Speaker 5: you know, can you can you imagine if that story today,
- 44:01Speaker 5: if Mike McCarthy was talking about you know, I really
- 44:04Speaker 5: want to focus on this young fighter.
- 44:06Speaker 1: I don't even know.
- 44:06Speaker 5: I can't even think of a young fighter like that.
- 44:08Speaker 5: But he wants you know, he'd be crucified. But Tom Landry,
- 44:11Speaker 5: you know, he wants to. He wants to check out
- 44:13Speaker 5: a little Mike Tyson. So anyways, if you want to,
- 44:17Speaker 5: this might be the last time to do that, especially
- 44:19Speaker 5: in this area. Mike Tyson, Jake, Paul Tomorrow night. All right,
- 44:22Speaker 5: let's go to Jacob in San Jose, California.
- 44:25Speaker 15: Jacob Yo, have to go on, Nick?
- 44:28Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 44:29Speaker 5: That's what I do every night. I just yelled, Jacob,
- 44:31Speaker 5: that's my son's name. But cool, all right, first.

- 44:39Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 44:40Speaker 1: Christ all right?
- 44:43Speaker 15: Pretty pretty bummed out about the season obviously, But I
- 44:46Speaker 15: just wanted to get your take on obviously my opinion
- 44:50Speaker 15: Dak gs QB number one going forward and should be.
- 44:54Speaker 15: I just wanted to get your take on Dak moving.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Forward, not really might take.
- 44:59Speaker 5: It's the take that Jerry Jones gave him with a
- 45:01Speaker 5: sixty million dollar contract, like like he's going to be
- 45:05Speaker 5: quarterback one. I mean, there's no doubt about it when
- 45:07Speaker 5: when they signed that deal. Uh, he's the guy. And
- 45:10Speaker 5: I'm not saying they shouldn't, but it doesn't matter what
- 45:13Speaker 5: anyone thinks at this point. I mean, that's that's what
- 45:15Speaker 5: they're doing. And they got to get him healthy, get
- 45:17Speaker 5: him ready to go, and get him get him back
- 45:19Speaker 5: for next season because he's he's under contract for the
- 45:21Speaker 5: next four years.
- 45:23Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 45:23Speaker 15: One more question, are you going to be at the
- 45:26Speaker 15: Jake Paul?
