  Speaker 1: The following.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: This is He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: What's Up? It's time for Cowboys Storyline Tuesday, December nineteenth.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Cowboys taking on Miami Dolphins this week Christmas Eve game
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in Miami should be a lot of fun. I think
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of points. I don't know why.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I just think that game there's gonna be a ton
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of points scored in that game. I think it's gonna
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. And I think, you know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the way the Cowboys played this last game, We've seen
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: how they they bounce back. They haven't lost two in
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a row and really two seasons now, so I can't
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: imagine that they'll be more focused this week. And you know,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: maybe what happen and last night in the game Philadelphia
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and Seattle, with Seattle winning there at the end, maybe
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that rejuvenates them as well, knowing kind of what's in
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: front of it. I mean, it certainly did something to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, who said this morning on the radio one
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: five to three the fan that he was dozing off
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: there late in the game, until Seattle made those two
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: plays and then he couldn't sleep till four in the morning,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: just about what the impact of this game, of that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: game could mean. So we'll talk about it a little bit.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: The scenarios are not it's not a black and white situation.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Not easy to figure out. Right now, the Cowboys are
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: technically in the lead of the division. I think it's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: because of the they have more wins in the division.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: But it looks like Philadelphia if they went out, Philadelphia
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: has an easier path to win the division that it
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: would lean to them because of the fifth high breaker
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in the division, which would be strength of victory. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: strength of victory right now, the Eagles would have that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: if it got to that tie break, if everybody went out.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: But things can change a little bit. I was kind
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of I was kind of, you know, playing with the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it was ESPN playoff Machine, playoff website they have, I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: think it's called a playoff machine. It's pretty it's pretty neat.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You can go through and kind of assimilate every game,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of course, and I did that a few times, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I went through the rest of the season, and the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Eagles stayed in the in the in the number two spot,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and so I kept moving with it and messing with it,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and finally I switched Buffalo and the Chargers, which I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: think played this week Buffalo and the Chargers, and that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I switched that to the to the Chargers winning, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Cowboys jumped ahead of the Eagles.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So that right there should just tell you that it's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: good they had. Cowboys have a chance if they went
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: out and the Eagles went out, they'll have a chance.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: They got to have some things go right. But it
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: goes down to their strength of victory between the teams
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that they've played. It's not just common opponents. That's the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: third tiebreaker. I think if they went out, that would
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: would would definitely that would just move to the next
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: tiebreaker because the Cowboys have lost too are the are
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the The Eagles lost to Seattle and they've lost to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the Jets, both teams the Cowboys beat, and the Cowboys
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: have lost to the Bills, and then they would lose
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and they've also lost to the Cardinals, which is a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: team Philadelphia should beat. If this tiebreakers are gonna hold it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: If Philly doesn't win those games or lose, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: they lose to the Giants. Then that changes everything. So
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the Eagles definitely and they're reeling right now. Of course
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: they've lost three in a row. But we've seen the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers, who's three in a row, turn it
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: around as well, So we'll see, we'll see what's going on.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: The point is three games ago, lots can happen. So
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: all right, let's figure this out here on the phone
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: line eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the line right now. Mike been waiting.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: He's in Colton, California, And Michael, what's up?
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Nick?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Good morning? Shout out to the whole Cowboys nation. Hey, Nick,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I just man, I was trying to get through yesterday. Man,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: you're a popular show man. It was hard, but I
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I just I got a lot to say about about
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: that loss. Man. It's just really disappointing. But one thing
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: that that that I can't seem to get over. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: you know what, I hope.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: That I'm wrong.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I'll be the first one to say, hey, that was
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: a stupid take. I'm wrong, and you know, but I
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: just feel that Dak Prescott, you know, he's he's gonna
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: he's gonna play you know he's gonna have a good
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: season and this and that, just like you know, we
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: had discussed before when I had brought up the CD
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: LAMB being the best eighty eight. But anyways, you know
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Tony Romo with the numbers, this and that, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: putting up stats, but at the end of the day,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think he can win the big game. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: you see it in his eyes when when when when
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: he's in a big he looks like a deer in
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the headlights, you know. And I'm afraid. What I'm afraid
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: of is that he's going to play himself into another
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: long term contract or let's just say a four or
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: five year deal, and we're gonna be stuck with this
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: guy another four or five years. And I don't mean,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I don't mean no disrespect to Dack by saying this guy,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: That sounds that sounds disrespectful to me. I mean honestly,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: like I know, you can say I don't mean disrespect,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: but that does sound disrespectful when you're like stuck with
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: this guy, you know. But that's your opinion. That's fine, Yeah,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And that's that's what it is. And I would imagine
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you haven't called in the last five weeks, right, I
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: feel like you have.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: But I was just on last week we were talking
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: about Brandon Cooks.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Not that no, no, I got it. If that's how
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you feel, that's that's certainly how you feel. I mean,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing to to say, hey, this
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: guy's a good quarterback, he's not going to take us there.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And if that's how you believe, you know, I I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: look at it like he hasn't taken them there. I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think that he hands just they haven't.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: They haven't gone there. I still feel like Tony Romo
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: was a really really good quarterback. They didn't get there.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: They didn't get there.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, being really good does
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: not win championships, you know, just doing it, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: like we like you had said when I told you
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: about the Ada and he made a great point. You know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I told you Trayton was the best and you said
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: why and I said, because of the titles. And at
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, the quarterback, you know, everybody
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: looks at those titles that he may not have the
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: numbers Romo has and maybe Dak will have, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: a when he's all sat and done. But at the
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: end of the day, he was a champion. You know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: he won when it mattered. He show up and he
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: won the big game. You know what I'm saying. And
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: one more thing, if I may, you know, I may
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: be getting a little ahead of myself, but I hear
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: these rumors that look, I just honestly, I'm gonna keep
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: it real. I don't think we're gonna go anywhere in
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. I think we'll be one and two and done,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean, just like the recent history. But
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: if the Steelers go ahead and let go Mike Tomlin, man,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I hope we jump on that dude straight up, because
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: McCarthy's a good coach and all, but just ain't cutting it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: They ain't cutting it, and Dak Prescott.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Ain't gonna get it done.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: But thank you very.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Much for hearing me out, all right, appreciate it. Interesting.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: That's interesting that that one guy over here who's not
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: winning any games anymore and and they're struggling and he's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: gonna maybe get let go, And he's won one super
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl and he's been a you know, solid, good, solid
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: coach is better than the guy you've got that's that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: has a better resume or just as good of a resume.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: That that seems weird to me, But hey, you can
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: think that way about Dak and maybe maybe they never win,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: maybe that they never get to the to the that point.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I don't look at it as stuck with Dak. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: think that you know, he's he's still learning, he's still
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: getting better, and that's that's that's I know a lot
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of people have said, you're in your eighth year, now,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't beat you should have figured out. That's not true.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: That's not true. These guys, these quarterbacks, you're always learning,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You're always picking something up, especially if you think that
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Romo was good, if you really liked Romo, Romo was
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: learning all the way until the end of his career.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So I think that's only a natural thing. I feel
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: like Dak is certainly good enough to get you there.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And again, I've said that when they were down five,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you know, five weeks ago, seven weeks ago, I've said that,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and then you know it hasn't been brought up when
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: they're going and steamrolling five straight wins, but then it
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: gets brought up again. So I get it. If that's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the way people feel, all right, Brian and Pennsylvania is
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: our next caller.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how you doing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I'm good? What's up?
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: But not much just looking at you know what we've
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: been going through. This is honestly the game that I
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: felt was going to be the most difficult for the
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: rest of the year, just because of Josh Allen and
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: his physicality. Obviously we saw the physicality. The biggest concern
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: now though, is that the offense isn't doing the defense
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: any favors and as far is stopping the run and
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: stopping the teams that focus on it. We've got the
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: forty nine ers, We've got the Lions, We've got the Eagles.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: Everybody who is who are going to have to face
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: to get through to the NFC Championship, into the playoffs
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: and possibly into the Super Bowl. So what do you
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: see as like a way what can we do to
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: adjust I mean, our personnel at this point in the season.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: What is there? Do we just have to play it
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: out and hope the offense just shows up every week
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: or is there an adjustment that you would see that
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: would actually because I've said that this team is different,
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: but it's I think.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: They have that hole.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: They're young, they don't have that consistency that they can
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: build on and sometimes they can fight through it and
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: sometimes they can't. So what do you think, what do
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: you think they need to do right now? Any small
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: adjustment they can do to kind of get on this
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: right track and have the offense help the defense and
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: not put us into these situations anymore.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, that's it. I think the call, Brian,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the number one thing that this team needs to do
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to stop the run is to run the ball. Is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to run the ball or at least move the ball.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you would like them to be balanced on offense,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: run it, be able to pass it, throw it around.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: That's that's how That's how they've been stopping the run.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: This thing hasn't really been fixed. We know that it
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: hasn't been fixed since last year. I mean Hankins in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the lineup. They're better obviously when Hankins is there than
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: when they're not. We saw that. That's why they traded
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: for him. Then he got hurt and then things struggled,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and then he comes back last year and they get
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: they got better there and we've seen it this year too,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So that's that's a part of it. But this offense
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: is scoring points. They get the ball a lot of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: times to start the game. Go look at their scoring
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter or in the first half. They
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: have these leads. They're putting teams in position where they
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: really can't just stay committed. And not everybody runs the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: same way. Not everybody can do what Buffalo does, the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: commitment to run and the way that they run. Arizona
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: did it and they stayed committed, but they also had
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the lead. When the Cowboys can get the lead, it
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: changes the course of the entire game. And that's why
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: it's important. That's why sometimes Mike McCarthy wants to take
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the ball early. He's done it this year. He feels
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: like if he can set the tone score put the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: team on their heels, then that takes them out of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: their running game. So that's the number one thing. Defensively, Yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have to be able to be more
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: controlled in their gaps. They got to get all the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: defensive ends to buy in. These linebackers got to get off,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the blocks, you know. But that's what they've
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: chose to do. Though. You know, they're trying to win
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: with this matchup because they want to be quicker, they
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: want to move a safety name Markue's Bell and make
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: him a linebacker. Daimon and Clark make him a lot.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You know he's a linebacker, but I mean he's undersized
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and these skys fast are a little bit you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: more athletic then you would say some of these other linebackers.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: But you give up something when you do that. You know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: it's not a basketball team that just plays five guards.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Well you're gonna you're gonna have advantage over here, but
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: over here you may not get a rebound. You have
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to give up something when you have a mismatch. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: so that's what And sometimes when these teams are committed,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: they get their guards to the next level. I mean
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: that they're pushing these linebackers around. So it does start
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: up front, right in the center. They got to be
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: more controlled in the gaps. There's there's some tweaks that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they can make. But the big thing, the way this
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this offense, this team is built right now. They got
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to score points. They got to get the ball that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: they got to score. In a game like that, when
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: they couldn't score, I mean, it was just it was
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: just downhill. And that's where the Bills were running downhill,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: all right, Johnny in South Carolina is our next caller?
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: Hey, how you doing?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: How you doing? All right? Whoop pick? That's right.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: A couple of things, you know, And this is the
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: we've talked about this, or people have talked about this continuously.
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: Is is the toughness of the offensive and defensive line
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: when they start getting bullied around, pushed around. My concern
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: on defense is that dam Quinn does a.
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: Great job with great athletes, but.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: Technically they're not very safe. I mean, we talk about
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: them running the ball. They couldn't set the edge the
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: other nights and that's the most simple thing in football
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: that you first thing you got to do on defense
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: to set the edge. I'm concerned that we can't. The
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: Cowboys can't do those things, and that's what allows them
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: to run over you. Outside. Inside, the linebackers are almost
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: non existent. As far as the hoping with the run
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: game that could because the defensive lines not keeping them
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: off their legs. Yeah, there's gotta be an adjustment. I mean,
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: if you can't stop the team from running with a
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: four men one, maybe you gotta throw some five men.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: One at him.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: Not all the time, front times, I mean, but it
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: just felt like the other night. We just sat there
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: And that's a bad recipe.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely was about it. Sorry, no, I appreciated that.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: It's good call, Johnny, And you're right it it was
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit frustrating because you just like it didn't
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you didn't see those adjustments and and and maybe they
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: were there and and you know, Buffalo made some adjustments
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: as well. I mean that they just they just seemed
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a step ahead. But in a game like that and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the weather it wasn't a factor really, I mean it was,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: it was different, but I mean Cowboys beat the Giants
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: forty to nothing in a rainstorm. Worse than that, you know,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: first game of the season. It makes it a little
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: bit harder to throw the ball around, but that it
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: is harder to do that. And so like you said,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe you stacked the box even more and you say, hey, man,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna go and and you know, Digs made
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a one handed catch and they you know, they threw
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the ball around, but if you looked at it was
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: their tight ends. I mean Dawson, Knox, maybe Kinkaid. I mean,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they they had they had trouble catching the ball on
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that play that that cursed that terrible penalty that that
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: they called on him, which I'm sorry, I'm just gonna
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna still look at that and go, well,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: this is football, and I thought that was that was
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: an awful penalty. Uh in the game. But he dropped
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the ball too, which hurt. You know, that hurt the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Cowboys on that play. But but I think my point
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: is is that throwing the ball and catching the ball
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: was not as easy as running the ball. So you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: kind of you kind of had you know, it was
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a head scratcher a little bit on why they played
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it that way and continued to play it that way
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: knowing that Buffalo was going to run and that was
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: kind of the best thing that they did. So but
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. It happened just nothing, nothing
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: went right. I mean you try to think, look at
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: guys that played well in the game. I mean, you know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: we're done, Okay, that's it. I mean into that segment
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: there really was nobody. The punter. I he had nice punt.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: It's about it, though, Aubrey. You know another field goal
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: he made, had a couple of touchbacks. But it really
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: was it was just a bad game all the way around.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to some text questions here, Carl,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: he's in Nashville. What's your favorite Cowboys Christmas memory? Interesting?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Let me think about them a little bit, and actually
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that that reminds me. I wanted to throw this out
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to some of the college This will be our theme
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: for the week. You only like that have themes with
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: like favorite all time player, favorite Thanksgiving memory. One of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the things I want to do is, you know, I
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: want to bring in a guy on Friday that he's
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: been on talking Cowboys, Josh Rodriguez. He's the guy that
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: works up upstairs with us, and he's got a movie podcast.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: He's all about movies. Movies is the thing, and so
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about football movies. Favorite football movie of
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: all time. So, if you call in, or you send
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a text, whatever kind of I'm gonna keep a little
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: poll here. I want to see what people think because
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: there's you know, there's no right or wrong answer, but
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of great football movies out there. I just
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: want to see what people think. I'll share mine later on,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: but I just want to hear what you guys have
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to think about that. But that reminded me. But favorite
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Christmas memory from the Cowboys. You know, I'm trying to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: think like like there's been there's been some. I mean,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I remember waking up on Christmas Day in Tennessee, Nashville,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Tennessee in two thousand. It's an awful Cowboy game against
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the Titans. They lost thirty one to nothing in that
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: game two thousand, but I mean woke up and stayed
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: at like the Gaylord and not in Nashville. Is the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: nice hotad ever stated, I thought that was pretty awesome,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: but it was like, you know, Christmas morning that you
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: wake up and you wait for the Monday night game.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, the year before is my first
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: year with the Cowboys. They played the Saints on Christmas Eve,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I believe, like a Friday game, and they lost to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the Saints, and it looked like the season was over
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: because they lost that game, they're not going to make
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. And it was a bad loss because yeah,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I mean the Saints weren't very good. But I remember
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: after the game, EMMITTT. Smith went down the down the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: aisle and he shook everybody's hand. I mean, a lot
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: of the media some of this, whether it be scouts
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: or you know, sponsors that were on the trip. Who
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: knows who's all on there. He walked in, you know,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: shook everyone's hand with everybody, even in the aisle in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the window, you know, reached over and just said everyone,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas and all that. You know. That's that's the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: stuff that I remember from em. And I told that
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: story the other day about Mit in the bag and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: all that. But you know, he could be that way,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: but he's also the guy that would you know, seasons
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: pretty much over and he's over here, you know. And
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it wasn't though they actually got lucky with some of
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the other games. They ended up making it to the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: playoffs that year. But that's one of the things I
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: do remember about Christmas and in him at Smith. I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: think let's let's get another question Mike from Houston. I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: know this is a sensitive subject. Oh keep should I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: keep reading his parsons? A one trick Pony wasn't involved
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: in stopping the run many solo tackles pass rush only,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I don't believe so. I think he's an outstanding pass rusher,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and I think he does that better that he does
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: stop the run. But one trick Pony when you're the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: best in the league at doing that, or one of
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the best at rushing the passer and getting there getting
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the pressures. That's pretty good. Now, I don't he's not.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: It's not one trick pony. It's just that's what you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: do the best.
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's it's like a home run
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: hitter that also hits with average, but he's a home
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: run hitter from from that standpoint, No, I don't believe that.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: One thing I do think is amazing though. I mean, seriously,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: this is again calling out the officials, but this is
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: this is this is the thing where I think Micah
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Parsons has to get better. Okay, it's don't call out
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the officials, don't call him out. Don't call him out
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: on your podcast, don't don't. Don't sit there and talk
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: about that stuff. We all know it. I mean, he's like,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: if he's not leading the league in pressures, he's right
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: up there. I mean, because he's got like almost eighty
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: eighty five pressures. But he hasn't had a holding call
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: in thirty four consecutive quarters. That's over eight games. He
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: has not had a holding call in over eight games.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: This is the guy that leads to the NFL in
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: pressures and he's always living back there, but yet no
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: one is holding him, not one time in eight and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a half games. It doesn't make any sense other than
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the fact that you're talking to much, you're calling out
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the officials, you're calling I mean, you don't think they
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: hear that stuff. I definitely think it matters, and I think,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: you know, I understand, you know, you get a chance,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you know, to listen to the podcast. I really haven't
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: heard a lot of it, but I kind of hear
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: what some of the things he says. And there's no
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: way that that helps. There's no way that that is
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: because it's not helping him get calls. It's probably helping
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: him the other way. That's just my take on it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I think I think that some of that
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: stuff happens a little bit, and I just don't think,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a smart move to be calling out,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you know, the officials and saying some of the things
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that he has done. But I mean, but he's too
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: good of a player to not be getting holding calls.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: We watch it every single snap, every play. It feels
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: like that they're holding him. So I don't know what
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: other reason they would be it's just the you know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: hopefully just keep your head down, keep going, keep getting,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you know, keep getting these plays, and and not talk
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: about it so much because I don't. I don't certainly
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: don't think it's helping them. I mean, there's no way
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you can go thirty four consecutive quarters when when you're
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a one trick pony Russian, you know, it's that trick's
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: not working so much, you know, getting getting a call?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that. All right, Bob and Rio
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: grand Valley's our next caller? Or did I miss it?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Is it Christian Connecticut? Christ in Connecticut? Did I miss one?
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: It's christ Connected.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Bob, You'll be next. Chris. What's up?
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Nick? A huge fan? Thanks for taking my call.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you this first call.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: This is the first time I've called you on this show.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: All Right, I'm all right, I'm so glad you got there.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: You go?
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: Boy?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: What a that?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: That last stat that you gave just kind of blows
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: my mind.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: But I think it was I couldn't believe it. I
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: can believe yeah. And I was told about it when
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it was thirty one, and now it's thirty four, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I was just like, oh my goodness, so.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy. You know, it's funny, and I've been
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I've been guilty of this from times. It's just funny
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: how how quickly people are so quick to jump off
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the bandwagon all of a sudden, Like that game the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: other night, I had nothing to do with Dak's play
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: at all. That was a pure team loss. What I
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: can't figure out is how is it year year in
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: and year out. Those two things I want to mention.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: One is the penalties year and year after year they're
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: in the top two or three most penalized teams. I
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: just don't get it at all, Like, how do you
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: not fix that? So there's that. And then secondly, the
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: thing that that that really bothered me the other night
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: was was the they're down fourteen and nothing, They've got
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: second and like a foot from the eleven yard line.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: You know, why not just why not just have Dak
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: sneak it? Why do you got to get tricky? I
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: feel like so many times the offensive coordinators, you know,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: obviously in this case it's Mike, but why do they
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: he just seems to overthink things sometimes because you know
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you're gonna tricks people. It's like, oh, just you need
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the touchdown there, Come on, man.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Oh you had to have the touch down. I mean
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that second and one play at the eleven was huge
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: because they got a four yard loss or three yard
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: loss and then they didn't get it and on third
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: down had to kick a field goal. I agree with
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: you there, but I'll say this, when it's second and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: one at the eleven, I'm thinking it's almost like I'm
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: not saying it's a free play, but sneaking it there.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have heard this. Derek
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Eagleton sits next to me and he has for years
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: in the press box. And the thing that I think
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: is I hate the most. I'd love to see a
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: stat on it. First and goal from the ten you're
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: not scoring. I mean, this team's not scoring a touchdown.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: First and goal in the ten is really really tough.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: So you get a yard and you get a first
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: down to the ten or maybe to the nine. It's
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: almost like getting the I mean, you're gonna get a
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: field goal anyways. So second and one, they're thinking maybe
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: we get four or five yards, but we get in,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: you know, first down into the five and that changes everything.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: It's probably four down territory. So I don't think they
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to do that. In retrospect, he would have rather
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: than you know, get the first down. I get that,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: But the Bills called a perfect defensive play for that one,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you know, that play where their safety comes in and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: just doesn't get blocked and just blows up the play.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: It was a great call by them. Yeah, I mean,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: you want to just take it back and go, man,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: just get the first down, And you're right in most cases,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: you know. I looked last night at that game the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Eagles in Seattle, and then third and three from like
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the twenty something yard line, they roll out, throw an
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: incomplete pass and then kick a field goal, And I'm
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: thinking third and three Hurts is gonna get. He's not
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: gonna get three, but he's probably gonna if you just
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: if you push him for one and a half to two,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: do it again on fourth down. It's not getting stopped,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: so that they kind of I think sometimes My point
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: is sometimes they don't use these sneaks early enough. You know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: why is it have to be fourth and one for
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: dak to sneak? How about third and one? And in
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: your case you're saying second one my only case, My
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: only point there would be I did I wouldn't want
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: first in goal from the ten. I wouldn't want that.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I think Aubrey should just be getting ready anyways, on
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: first and goal in the ten. Yeah, sorry, went on
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: a rant there you got anything else? I'm sorry, Chris.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: No, I was just going to say, you know, they
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: just how they kill themselves over and over with penalty
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: now it's just I don't get it. But yeah, itsfected,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: it hasn't.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I have a theory on that. Uh, I'll let you
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: go on that. Thanks. Thanks, uh, thanks Chris for the call.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: What what I need to look up? And I'll I'll
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: do this, I say on the break, we's just we
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: just we're gonna keep rolling, Chris. We're going to keep
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: rolling through through the break here. But you know, where
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: are they in sacks? I need to I need to
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: look at this. Where are they in sacks in the league?
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: You know? Do they are they right at the top?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Where are they in pressures? Have about turnovers? If and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling the Cowboys are up there in
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: sacks and in pressures and in turnovers. And I'm not
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: giving them excuses here for penalties. I'm just saying, when
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you have a team that's aggressive and they're getting after
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the quarterback and they're making plays on the ball, you
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: are going to give up some things from a penalty
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: standpoint every now and again. That doesn't mean you should
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: line up off sides. That doesn't mean you should run
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: into the punter. I get that. But you know, I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: went back and I always remember DeMarcus where it flows
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Oul Adams. These guys were getting a penalty almost every game,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean the year that DeMarcus had nineteen
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and a half sacks, or maybe he was twenty sacks,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: like in two thousand and eight, I think he had
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: an off side penalty every snap. I mean I mean
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: every game, not every snap. Every game it had like one.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: You'll take that. You'll take that if your guys getting
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: off the ball and getting sacks and stuff like that.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So being aggressive, being overly agressive, there's a line. And
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: then again the Cowboys are over it when it comes
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to some of these costly penalties. These some mistakes that
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you just can't have. And I mean that game is different.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: It's it's it looked like a like it was a
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: blowout game. But that was you give me two of
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: those penalties back and it's a different football game. And
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: then they have to play different as well. But that's
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys' fault. They gave them these plays, they gave them.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: That's what I wrote in my article. It was it
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: was too much season of giving. You know, you don't
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: need to be given away the fifteen yards of pop
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: like that. So especially when they're when their offenses all,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: you know, off the field or walking off the field,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and you put them back on there and say no, no,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: you're not done yet. Go score, And then they did that.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: That was that was huge to me. All right, let's
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: go with U. Now we go with Bob and Rio
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: grand Valley doing good? How are you doing good?
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I appreciate very much the analysis that you just gave,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: But about what happened in that game, I sat here
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: at the house and I was play by play right
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: here and thinking, and when I saw the penalties and
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: not getting calls that we should have and then shooting
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: ourselves in the foot when we shouldn't have, uh, you know,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: one of us all said and done. We lost. Now
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: here's here's my evaluation of where we're at. As a team.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: We've got a great head coach, We've got a great
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: defensive coordinator. They can scheme a game as well as
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: any coach in the league. They can do it with
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: the players that they have buying injuries. If everything is
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: the way it should be, the way we want it
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: to be, we can run and gun with anybody. But
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: when you get you lose a key player here and
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: a key player there, and we lost several you got
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: to take and get back in the pot and use
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: someone that is not quite up to that first team
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: of capabilities yet and make the best of it and
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: do the best you can. I feel that in Miami,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: if we have to, we've got to run and gun.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: We're not going to be able to run the ball
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: on those guys, and we can't let them run it
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: on us. We need to take if we win the
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: coin flip, we need to take the ball. We need
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: to score first. We need to put them in a
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: catchup mode. We're going to have to do the same
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: thing against the Detroit Lions. If we do those things,
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: there's a good chance that we can run out the
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: rest of the season. Are we going to wind up
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: with the home field advantage in the playoffs. I think
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: that's very unlikely. But the bottom line is, you can't
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: blame it on that. Dak is a great quarterback. He
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: does one hell of the job. He's a player, he's
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: a leader, he's respected, he's intelligent, he's very talented, and
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: he's as good as any quarterback that we've ever had.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: And Michael Parsons Micah is top drawer. So with that,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I'm going to shut up, all right, man, I tell you,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: but I would like for some of these people to
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: really think about what they're saying. Why in the name
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: of goodness would you want to swap Mike McCartney for Tomlin.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Tomlin's a great coach, he is, but what would be
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: your advantage to do something like that. I mean, I
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: can't understand some people's thinking. With that, all shut up, all.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Right, I appreciate it. I mean, you know, I agree.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, Mike Tomlin's been a really good coach.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: It's a little different over there in Pittsburgh. I mean,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you realize they've had like three coaches in like fifty years.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I mean like three. I feel like, I feel like
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: teams like the Panthers and the Colts, and then you know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean, Houston, I feel
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: like that they've had three like in the last five years,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: but uh, you know a lot of patients. You have
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to have success over there. I don't know. I mean,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: we're not We're not we're getting into like tampering with
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: coaches or anything like that. Mike McCarthy. They just asked
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Jerry this morning on their on the radio about getting
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: an extension. You know, we'll see how this thing plays out.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: But there hadn't been many coaches, you know, in the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: last thirty years for the Cowboys have put his team
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs three straight years. I believe. I believe
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: it would it would Switzer did ninety six. That's probably
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the last three times the Cowboys have made the playoffs
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: three straight years. Maybe I'm missing something with Garrett, but
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't. I don't think that
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: that happened. So there is a level of consistency there.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: And also the players really respect Mike McCarthy for how
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: he treats them. How he treats them, and I mean
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: that with how he takes care of their bodies, gets
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: them off their feet a lot. I mean, he really
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: thinks a lot about them. He kind of has a
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: good understanding about what it takes to play twenty five weeks.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: This isn't a seventeen game schedule. We're talking about like
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: twenty five weeks from training camp, get the you know
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the end. You got the bye week right before the season,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and then you got the game, and you got the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: bye week, and you're trying to get all the way.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: It's a process. It's a long haul, and he does
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: a really good job with that. And so yeah, I
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: think I think there's a lot more to it than
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: just can you win the big game or not? You know,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and that's maybe what it'll come down to. But I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: think when when Jerry looks at this and he looks
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: at it, you know, you got to put your team
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: in position to go win games. You got to have
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: a good football team that can go win. And I
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: think he's done that. Now they got to do it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: They just got to do it now. Text line question
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: here at five to one to two number, I guess
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: that's that's down maybe Austin The Replacements best football movie
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: of all time, The Replacements in North Dallas forty, North
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Dallas forty. That was a that was a movie, I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: guess in the eighties kind of kind of it was definitely,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: it was definitely made to you know, around the Cowboys
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: in the seventies. It was, you know, it was a
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: fake team in Dallas, but it was it was loosely
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: built off of some of the players and some of
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the storylines for the Cowboys North Dallas forty uh and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the Replacements, which is which was also based off nineteen
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: eighty seven Strike with Washington, really the Washington Redskins, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: that's what that team was built on. And then they
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: go and they beat Dallas. So both those movies, you know,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: aren't aren't you know, real teams, but they were kind
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: of they were kind of made off of real NFL scenarios.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Robin, Vegas. What's that a rouble? Hey, Hey,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: how's it going? Calm down a little bit from since
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: yesterday or what?
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Oh yesterday was calm oh, just unfortunately, it's it's just reality.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: Tennis team win a Super Bowl right now? Yes, it could.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: No, actually no, they can't. They cannot win a Super
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl in mid December. And I'm not trying to I'm
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: not trying to joke. I'm just saying but we that's
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about. We talked about can they win,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: can they win? They're not gonna win tomorrow. They're not
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: gonna win today. So that's that's why. That is why
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I kind of like always push back on callers, you know,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: like you when you say that, because this is what
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it is. We're gonna be doing a show tomorrow. It's
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: what we can control right now, and we're all projecting.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: We're just projecting on what we think.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: The one thing. The one thing though, is let's be honest.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: This team is built more to win in the regular
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: season than in the playoffs.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Why Why do you say that? Why?
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: Because because they're a fast, a fast break football team.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: They want to play a game like they played in
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Seattle forty five thirty then a twenty seventeen type game.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: They're fast defense, but they're small. They're a fast, big
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: playoff on offense, where we don't get some big plays
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: on offense. We're not the type of team that's going
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: to just like Buffalo said, Okay, we want you to
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: march the ball down the field. We do it on spurts,
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: but that's not our game. We don't want to play
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: smash mouth football. We're not built for it. Let's be honest.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: That comes from Jerry Jones too. He doesn't want that
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: type of product on the field. The last time we
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: had a team like that that was on the bill parcels.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: He doesn't want that. He wants the Seattle type games.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: And let's be honest, in the playoffs, you don't have
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: those games that the games get tighter. Teams are not
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: willing to take as many chances because you know, you lose,
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: you go home. So you can't change that mentality unless
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: you get rid of your two head coaches, Dan Quinn
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: and Mike McCarthy, which I don't think Mike McCarty's definitely
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: gonna stay. Dan Quinn I don't think so. I think
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: he'll be gone. And Jerry Jones has to realize that
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: we need to be bigger toughly. You know, we talk
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: about it all the time. Mike McCarthy talked about it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: We're not We're tiny on defense, where if Michael Parsons,
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: they're gonna have to figure out if this guy's gonna
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: play defensive end, he needs to go up to about
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: two hundred and seventy pounds or they're gonna say we're
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: just gonna run out them. Teams ain't stupid and so
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: so we're just not built to win in the players.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Now we can, but it's gonna be tough to expect.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: You got to go on the road if we get
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: home home field, which we won't, but let's be honest,
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: home field, this team, the way they're constructed, we're tough
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: to beat. But in the elements against the smash mount
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: against the team that's willing to just pound us, we
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: don't want that. And I don't know it's been like
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: that for years. You said, we're just not a physical team.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: We don't have a physical offensive line, we don't have
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: a physical defensive line.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: You took it back to you took it back to parcels.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's too far to me. I mean in
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: twenty like fourteen, that was a smash boun football team.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: That was a good the team that lost with Dez
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: in Green Bay that I mean, but the.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Defense wasn't the defense wasn't that good.
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: No, the offense, yes, yeah, I mean with Seek well.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: He had his rookie year, but that was on the offense.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean offensive line, but but never been Okay,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I thought you were saying that that, you know, not
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: sense parcels. Have they tried to have. I mean, no,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: they they want to be a physical type football team,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and I think they want this team to be that.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: They're just they're just not. They're just not. I think
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: it starts with center. I mean, I don't think Tyler
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Biattis is a guy that moves people around.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: But I think it's a mentality. Let's be honest. Blue
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: collar teams, uh, you know, Buffalo, San Francisco, Philadelphia, if
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: they want to, but for whatever reason they don't want to, then.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: They're not blue collar. But then they're not blue collar.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Don't put them in blue collar if they don't want to.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what it is about want to.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: But if they if they just well, I don't think
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: it's I don't think it's the players. I think it's
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: a coaching.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to get their askicked. I mean, you know,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Why Philadelphia does it say we got the best offensive
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: line of football. Why don't we run the ball ball?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: They probably should? They probably should, all right, Rob? Best
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Football movie of all Time? Rob, Best football movie? Do
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: you even watch football movies?
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah, probably?
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: I like the one with Denzel, but I can't remember.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Remember the Titans that you didn't remember the Titans, but
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: remember the Titans got it?
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: And I.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Do like the replacement.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, all right, Rob, appreciate that. Good call.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: All Right, Dylan in uh Northport, Florida's next. How you doing?
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I'm good? All right?
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: Second, Dyne all follow up the legend, Rob.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll be homie.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Best football movie do?
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Water Boy?
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Just just like without hesitation? It was just slow water Boy?
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:13
  Speaker 10: I remember the Titans was good. That was the only
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: serious football movie that I've really ever liked that I've watched.
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: But water Boy just turn on and had some last
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: We need some lasts.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: We do, we do. We've been kind of talking about
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: it and then different different We had a meeting yesterday
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: and we talked about that a little bit. We had
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: different movies been thrown around, but just Waterboy was not
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: one of them. But that's cool. That's good. Great line
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: by Dan Fouts, who's the commentator, when he just says,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: shut up, Brent. I don't know why that. Oh yeah,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: that's funny.
• 40:45
  Speaker 10: All right, Yeah, I understand why people are panicking, but
• 40:50
  Speaker 10: kind of the I guess the topic of the day.
• 40:53
  Speaker 10: It's not really necessary. It's a lot of recency bias
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: I think is kicking in talking about Dad can't do anything.
• 40:59
  Speaker 10: He was an MVP can of a week ago, right,
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: Mike McCarthy. He, I mean he's been in the playoffs.
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: Every year's done here except for I think twenty twenty,
• 41:06
  Speaker 10: which that was a whole mess of a year anyways,
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: So we can forget that one. But I also want
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: to ask this question too. I guess to all the
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: callers out there and everybody listening, who in the NFC
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: are you scared of everybody's saying that a lot of
• 41:17
  Speaker 10: people are saying we're gonna be one and done or
• 41:19
  Speaker 10: done in the division around just because there's forty nine
• 41:21
  Speaker 10: ers there?
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Can I vote?
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: That's it?
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Forty Yeah, Okay, that's it. No, that's it. That's it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: You're right now.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: I mean, the Eagles are so good.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Here's what I don't here. Here's here's I don't know
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: if scared is the right word. But I don't want
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys to go to New Orleans. I'm just just
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be honest. That's not the scenario that I think
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: is good for them. Interesting to be the five seed scared, No,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: not scared, But to be the five seed if you
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: if you don't get the number two, if you're the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: five and you got to go play New Orleans. Not
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: really worried about Baker Mayfield in Tampa or definitely Atlanta,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: but in New Orleans, that's that's just not an ideal situation.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Can they go win, yeah, will they win, probably, but
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: it's not a place you want to go get down
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: ten to nothing, you know, with that crowd and that,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: and then and then the way they run. Kamara is
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: playing in the way got Taysom Hill and you know
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: they can run. It's just not it's not ideal. So
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I I don't look at that as, uh, well, you're
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: just gonna go beat somebody from in the South, like
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: if it's if it's New Orleans, I don't think that's
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: that's a good matchup for the Cowboys. So that's the one.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: And not scared. It's just that, you know, I don't
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: just just mark off an easy win from the five
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: seed whoever you're playing in the four if it's New Orleans.
• 42:45
  Speaker 10: So yeah, I hadn't thought about New Orleans. That's a
• 42:48
  Speaker 10: good point. I guess. The thing is that with them
• 42:50
  Speaker 10: is you can get up hopefully to an early lead,
• 42:51
  Speaker 10: and kind of player brand football at that.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: You can do that, and Derek Carr is gonna be
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr and all that. Yeah, I get that. I
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: totally get that. I just I'm just saying I've been
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: there before, and I've seen I've seen games where you
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: think you're going to go win in New Orleans and
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: it's ugly and fun. Fact, the only team in the
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: NFC the Cowboys have never faced in the playoffs is Ortons.
• 43:16
  Speaker 10: So well, I kind of hope it happens now.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: You hope not me, I hope it. I hope it's
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the you know, the Cowboys are the number two seed,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and then you know, if New Orleans it gets in
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: as a seventh great, come on down, you know like
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: that that that wouldn't worry me, and that that that's
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: what's going to be so big here for the Cowboys
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: if they can get the two, because.
• 43:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, having the home feel advantage against some of these teams,
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: I mean obviously we've seen it. That's where they really shine.
• 43:44
  Speaker 10: So that would be great. Yeah, and this loss of
• 43:47
  Speaker 10: the Bills just super quick, I'll go fast here. You know,
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: it's concerning the way they lost, but it's an uncommon
• 43:53
  Speaker 10: AFC point. They went against all their tendencies. They usually
• 43:55
  Speaker 10: put the ball in Josh Allen's hands. They didn't he
• 43:58
  Speaker 10: put He took the ball in his hands and handed
• 43:59
  Speaker 10: all every and go play. And so we might see
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: the gain in Miami. And I hope people don't panic
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: if if Miami whoops us too. I mean, I don't
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: know about whooping, but it might. It might be another
• 44:08
  Speaker 10: tough game. So you know, if they lose, I'm still
• 44:12
  Speaker 10: on the roller coaster ride. I'm still very confident in
• 44:15
  Speaker 10: our chances against the NFC, and if we get to
• 44:17
  Speaker 10: the championship game against the Niners and his championship and
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: then you know, at that point we're playing with house money.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: So what happened, Well, I'm gonna tell you right now.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys are gonna beat the Dolphins. That's that's my opinion.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: I don't need I don't need to wait till Friday
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: to make a pick and gut feeling and all that.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna, No, they're gonna, they're gonna beat them.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: They're gonna beat them. I don't want to sit there
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: and say they're gonna boat race them. I'm not It's
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: maybe not gonna be like that. It's gonna be a
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: high scoring game, probably, but I think the Cowboys are
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: gonna put it on them. I really believe that. I
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: think I think there's something about this game. I've always
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: thought the Buffalo one kind of had me a little
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: bit more concerned, maybe even Detroit like that. That game
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: is gonna be tough two in its own way. But
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna be a tough game. But
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna They're gonna give it to them.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: They're gonna give the Dolphins everything and it'll you know,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: they got too much firepower to get their ass kicked Miami.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: But I think I think the Cowboys are gonna bring it.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: So that's what I believe. Yeah, it sounds good, a right,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I see it all right. More text message questions are
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: are comments on favorite movies. Carl from Nashville, Remember the Titans.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Jeff from Oregon, North Dallas forty in Draft Day Interesting
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: draft Day. Draft Days is a tough one because it
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: reminds me of the movie Days of Thunder. I loved
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: that movie. Days of Thunder auto racing movie. Knew nothing
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: about NASCAR, just loved it because it was really it
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: was like a remake to Top Gun. So loved it.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: And then I kind of got into Nascar and understood
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: that the movie would never happen. And that's kind of
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the way Draft Day is to me. Just some of
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the just some of the things when you kind of
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: know the ins and outs of the scouting process and
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: you're like, really, really you're gonna look at tape the
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: day of the draft and make a big change and
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: watch something and the calls coach about why nobody went
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: to his birthday party and all that stuff. I mean,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: but you know, I watch it, but it's it's funny,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: just the whole trading part. And another one from uh
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: from r d J in New Jersey Radio radio. It's
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: a good one. That's a good movie for sure. Brian
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City is our next caller, Brian, what's up?
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: Good morning, sir. I'll go with Brian Song.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Brian Song. All right, you can always tell people's age
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I'll say. I'll say this in the meeting.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: We had a meeting the other day. We went around
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: we had we had to remember the Titans, we had replacements,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: and I looked at Mickey Mickey with Mickey's Bagdahl. I
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't doing anything. It's like, Mickey, what do you think
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Brian song? He's like, yes, yes for sure. So I
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: was like all right, so uh he said the same thing.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen that movie. Maybe I should, Maybe I should.
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: Hey, I got a favorite Christmas memory. You'll have to
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: help me with the year. I think it's ninety five.
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: But wasn't that the year on Christmas Day didn't break
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: the touchdown record?
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, twenty five touchdowns against it, well, not against
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, but it was, and that record's been broken,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: like you know since since then. I mean, but yeah,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: that was a big, big game, and because and the Cowboys,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I mean have told this story several times. The day
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: before it was a Monday night game on the twenty fifth,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: but the day before the forty nine ers, who kind
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: of kind of similar to this year, kind of had
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys number. They'd already beaten them once pretty bad,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: and they lost to the Falcons, and they got off
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the plane in Arizona and they said, you know what,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: we got to just win tomorrow night and then we're
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: we got home field advantage. And that just kind of
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: rejuvenated them. They went and they beat the Cardinals there
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Night. But yeah, and that movie, actually, I mean,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that that game is also kind of the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: bone to another movie, another football movie, Jerry maguire, because
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: they filmed a lot of that movie from that game
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: there in that ninety five Cowboys and Cardinals. I don't
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: know if you've seen that movie, but you know, towards
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the end and Rod tid Wells making plays and all that,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of it was because they filmed it from
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: that game there in ninety five.
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: Huh No, I didn't know that. And I've seen the movie.
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: I did not know it was connection.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you sees Barry Switzer a lot. You see some
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: of the you know, they kind of go in and out.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: You can tell the difference obviously between just footage from
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: the sideline and all that. But they they took a
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: lot of that game and then kind of made it
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: made it, you know, that that Cowboys Cardinals game. So,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Jerry Maguire, I mean, if that's if you consider that
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: a football movie, and I think you know, if you're
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: one that thinks die Hard is a Christmas movie, we're
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: playing all that, then Yeah, Jerry Maguire definitely is a
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: football movie.
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: But absolutely, Hey, I got a question for you, so
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: you know, this is not quite as off the rails
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: as the sumo wrestler playing defensive tackles the you know,
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: with Hankins gone, I think this is just a temporary solution,
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: and of course it depends on whether the player wants
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: to do it and his temperaments a little hot and cold.
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: But I was thinking maybe we move Parsons back to
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: linebacker just until Hankins is back. It's just a thought
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: because I think Hankins kept Marquis, you know, the smaller guys,
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: Marquis Bell and so forth. I think he kept them
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: clean and that second level could flow. And I don't
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: think we have that right now.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: This doesn't look like it.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: This may not okay, Thank thanks, Brian, appreciate this may
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: not be the game for that. I mean, that's not
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: a bad thought, and and and obviously you can do
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: different things on different plays and all that. Just know
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: that that the speed element here with the Dolphins is
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be through the roof. You're gonna have to have
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: guys that can run all over the place. You know,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Marque's Bell, Yeah, he may not be the best one
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: when a guard gets to that next level, but you're
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: gonna need You're gonna need these safeties closer to the box.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: You're gonna they're gonna have to go on sideline to sideline.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: The way that the Dolphins call plays, the way that
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: they get these guys on the move. You didn't need
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: as much speed as you can. So maybe, I mean,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: maybe you do play Parson some there. We got to
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: get rolling one more call before we ended Eric in
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: North Carolina.
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how you doing good man?
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: I'm doing great. I've been listening to you for years.
• 50:18
  Speaker 9: I saw you one time and Charlotte and it's funny.
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: I was listening to you for years on the Cowboys
• 50:24
  Speaker 9: break and it was before the game. I think it
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: was twenty eighteen the Panthers. The Panthers to beat us
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: pretty bad that day. But I was collaring to you, Nick, Nick,
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: and you kind of looked over and kind of waved,
• 50:37
  Speaker 9: you know, And I was hollering to you, like like
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: we were best friends or something.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: That's all right, you know, I appreciate this, Like who's
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: this guy?
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: Nah?
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: No, that's cool. I mean I appreciate that with you
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: know that happened sometimes on the road, and it's really
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: a neat experience. So I can't remember that. I do
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: remember the game, but it wasn't you know, it wasn't
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of it wasn't a lot of great stuff
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: in that game, for sure.
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: So no, that was a terrible It was the only
• 51:01
  Speaker 9: game I've been to in my life, and it was
• 51:05
  Speaker 9: it was exciting, you know, but but yeah, it was
• 51:08
  Speaker 9: a terrible.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: But they couldn't stop Yeah, they couldn't stop Cam Newton.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: You know, he was just he was just managing the
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: game to perfection. You know. It was just it was
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: awesome the way he was that game. Tongue in cheek
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, all right, we got to get rolling.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: You you got a point real quick our question, yes, sir, Well.
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: I just wanted to say, my favorite football movie is
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: We Are Marshall.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, you know Marshall is actually walking
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: around here yesterday, walking around there playing in a ball
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: game tonight. I think against that here in Frisco, I
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: think they played ut s A. Yeah, the whole staff,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: the whole the whole team walking around and doing a tour.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: We are Marshall, like, you know, walking around. So yeah,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, good movie, sad and also you know little
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: eerie too when you think about it and you watch
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: it and you like get on a plane and all
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But I mean for the most part, you know,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: it's it's a It is a good movie, for sure.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: It is a good movie. All right, you got you
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: got a cowboy point of question.
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: H just want to throw out and U obscure former
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: favorite player.
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: Uh?
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: It was Mike Renfro wide receiver.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: And it's funny, h yeah, yeah, because I remember one
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: of my favorite players was Butch Johnson because of the
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: California quake, and I remember coach Landry traded him after
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: he did the California quake in the end zone, after
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: Landry told him not to because the officials were we're
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: calling penalties on that then. And then they traded him
• 52:50
  Speaker 9: to Houston Oilers for Mike Renfro and I was like,
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: who on earth is this guy?
• 52:55
  Speaker 10: Like, oh my.
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: Gosh, And we got him and he caught like everything.
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: He was great on the out route to the excellent
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: yeah runner and he had the best feet.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he would be yeah, well, you know
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: it's funny you say that. I mean there's people in
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Houston that still think he got both both feed and
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: bounds for up. I think it was a seventy nine,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: seventy nine championship game against the Steelers where back corner
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: of the end zone he caught it and he got
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: both feet and they ruled him out of bounds and
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Steelers ended up winning go to the Super Bowl and
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: won a title. But there's people in Houston that still
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: cover them that think Mike Renfro definitely got his feet
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: in bounds and should have beaten the Steelers there. But yeah,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: he was a good, good, solid player. Probably ran like
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: a five to one forty or something like that, but
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: he could catch the ball all right, Eric, appreciate it.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the calls. Yeah, we got to get rolling, guys.
