- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:03Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:05Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman. What is up?
- 0:20Speaker 1: Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman. It is Wednesday,
- 0:24Speaker 1: November twenty seven, Thanksgiving Eve, if you will, Cowboys getting
- 0:30Speaker 1: ready to take on the New York Giants tomorrow at
- 0:34Speaker 1: at and T Stadium, where the Cowboys have not won
- 0:37Speaker 1: a game this season. Let's see if they can turn
- 0:39Speaker 1: that around zero to five right now at home. It's
- 0:43Speaker 1: only happened once before the nineteen eighty nine season. Let's
- 0:47Speaker 1: not compare that team to this one. It's not the same.
- 0:50Speaker 1: This is a much better football team than that one.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Look at the schedule at home. It certainly has been
- 0:58Speaker 1: some tougher matchups at home. Obviously, Philly's playing really well,
- 1:02Speaker 1: Houston's solid team, Baltimore looks really good. We'll never figure
- 1:08Speaker 1: out the New Orleans game, so let's just forget that
- 1:10Speaker 1: one right there. New Orleans. I mean, they played well
- 1:13Speaker 1: in that game as well as you could play. That's
- 1:16Speaker 1: the best game that they've played since the Super Bowl
- 1:20Speaker 1: that they won. I mean, seriously, they haven't played that
- 1:22Speaker 1: like that since. But the Cowboys were part of that too,
- 1:25Speaker 1: you know, that's where the first time we saw some
- 1:27Speaker 1: problems there that they were having there and on their defense,
- 1:31Speaker 1: obviously there are issues scoring. We'll see if things are
- 1:35Speaker 1: different now, much different team and also the Cowboys and
- 1:38Speaker 1: the Giants. We'll see how different they are. That was
- 1:40Speaker 1: a close game before. The Giants are on a losing street.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Got to watch their quarterback. This week, they may may
- 1:46Speaker 1: be playing a different quarterback again. Drew Locke has a
- 1:49Speaker 1: chance to play there. That might change some things for
- 1:52Speaker 1: what the Giants are trying to do. All right, eight
- 1:54Speaker 1: eight eight, five to five to two nine sevens. The
- 1:56Speaker 1: number to call, let's get right to it, Northport, Florida
- 1:59Speaker 1: is Dylan Yellen. What's up man?
- 2:02Speaker 4: Hey morning, Nick. How are you good?
- 2:03Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 2:05Speaker 4: Hey man, I'm good. Just wanted to start with a
- 2:07Speaker 4: little bit of gratitude here, you know, being Thanksgiving and everything.
- 2:12Speaker 4: That was a really big holiday for me growing up.
- 2:14Speaker 4: You know, I live in I used I used to
- 2:16Speaker 4: live in New York. Group in New York, moved to Florida,
- 2:18Speaker 4: and Thanksgiving used to be a really big holiday for us,
- 2:21Speaker 4: you know, grandparents and cousins and uncles, nuns and everybody
- 2:25Speaker 4: used to get together and watch football and talk junk
- 2:28Speaker 4: about each other's team. You know, they were all Giants
- 2:30Speaker 4: fans going up in New York except for my immediate family.
- 2:33Speaker 4: So it was always a good time. And I moved
- 2:35Speaker 4: down here. I don't really have that anymore. I started
- 2:37Speaker 4: a family in Mile and I'm trying to trying to
- 2:39Speaker 4: raise my girls to be Cowboys fans, doing the best
- 2:41Speaker 4: I can there. But they're young, so they're learning, and.
- 2:48Speaker 1: That's that's what I've loved.
- 2:51Speaker 4: I think they will. You know, I miss I. I've
- 2:52Speaker 4: got a seventeen year old. I kind of missed the
- 2:54Speaker 4: bucket on her. But you know, the two younger ones,
- 2:57Speaker 4: three and five, you know, they get excited. They don't
- 2:59Speaker 4: know what cheering for, but they get excited and run
- 3:01Speaker 4: around and stuff just like that does. So hopefully that
- 3:04Speaker 4: keeps going. But you know, you're starting the show. You know,
- 3:06Speaker 4: there's an immediate group of friends that I've made kind
- 3:08Speaker 4: of you know, five, six seven people just from listeners
- 3:11Speaker 4: from the show, and it's kind of given me that
- 3:13Speaker 4: sense of, at least from a football perspective, people I
- 3:15Speaker 4: can talk to kind of you know, any any points
- 3:18Speaker 4: and the messages and just kind of hang out and
- 3:20Speaker 4: it's been a blast, man. So really appreciate you doing
- 3:23Speaker 4: what you do here and saying with Chris and your
- 3:25Speaker 4: dad for having the idea and all that. So happy,
- 3:28Speaker 4: Thanks Davian Man, and thank you for all that.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Thank you, I appreciate that. Thanks so much for saying that.
- 3:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:35Speaker 4: Absolutely, from a football standpoint, I just want to talk
- 3:38Speaker 4: about Michael Parsons real quick and then I'll let you go.
- 3:40Speaker 4: It's no coincidence that the floor of this team and
- 3:43Speaker 4: the defense at least immediately raised upon his return. Guys
- 3:47Speaker 4: that you know, I think about five or six games
- 3:49Speaker 4: something like that without a sack, we had hardly any pressures.
- 3:52Speaker 4: He comes back and all of a sudden, everybody's swarming
- 3:55Speaker 4: all over the ball in the backfield on pass plays,
- 3:58Speaker 4: and it's just it's the mic upart, the effect, that
- 4:00Speaker 4: stuff that you don't see on a stat sheet, but
- 4:02Speaker 4: just the impact he has on the overall defense, it
- 4:05Speaker 4: raises at three four notches just from a base level.
- 4:08Speaker 4: So happy to have him back. And Os has been
- 4:11Speaker 4: showing out and Mazzi Mazie Man, he's been developing now
- 4:15Speaker 4: three or four or five games in a row. He's
- 4:17Speaker 4: been showing some really good improvement in the run game
- 4:20Speaker 4: and excited to see you know what he turns into
- 4:22Speaker 4: as well here in the next five games or so.
- 4:24Speaker 4: So Happy Thanksgiving Man, Happy Thanksgiving, Chris, and I'll talk
- 4:28Speaker 4: to you guys later.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Well, thank you so much, Dylan, appreciate that. I'll tell
- 4:31Speaker 1: you what, at the end of the season, We're going
- 4:33Speaker 1: to do our second annual All Storyline Team, and Dylan,
- 4:39Speaker 1: you will definitely have a spot on it. Be high
- 4:42Speaker 1: on the list, not only for the calls that you
- 4:46Speaker 1: that you make and consistency there and the good points.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Also you're really one of the one of the catalysts
- 4:51Speaker 1: there to bring that storyline community together and put it
- 4:54Speaker 1: on Twitter. So I really appreciate the call. Happy Thanksgiving
- 4:57Speaker 1: to you as well. I also want to get you
- 4:59Speaker 1: talked about f I want to give a shout out
- 5:01Speaker 1: to my brother, my brother evan older brother. It's his

- 5:12Speaker 1: So that's all good. That's the thing I do the game.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I love doing the game. But we still get our
- 5:18Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in some somehow, some way, A snoop would say, somehow,
- 5:22Speaker 1: some way, we get that in and it'll be Saturday
- 5:24Speaker 1: for me. You know, Turkey dressing, all that. It's all
- 5:27Speaker 1: the same. It doesn't matter what day, it doesn't matter day.
- 5:31Speaker 1: It still tastes great. All right, let's go to Carolina.
- 5:33Speaker 1: He's on the move again. Carolina and Carolina. But now
- 5:36Speaker 1: it's Tyler, Texas. Yes, sir, my friend, Yeah, thank you man,
- 5:44Speaker 1: that's awesome. You know the problem is, if we keep
- 5:48Speaker 1: you on hold too long, you might have a different
- 5:50Speaker 1: different town, you know what I mean. It may not
- 5:52Speaker 1: be Tyler anymore. I don't know where. So we got
- 5:55Speaker 1: to make sure and keep you, you know, get you
- 5:58Speaker 1: on the line quick. So what's up man? How you doing?
- 6:02Speaker 6: Man?
- 6:02Speaker 7: I'm doing great? Man, Hey, coming off that win. The
- 6:05Speaker 7: week just always better when you won, you know what
- 6:08Speaker 7: I mean? Yeah, of course I got my gear waiting
- 6:11Speaker 7: for somebody to say something, you know, I say something.
- 6:14Speaker 6: Yeah, we all this up, but we won.
- 6:17Speaker 7: I don't care what they gotta say along with we
- 6:19Speaker 7: one gives you more reasona weard.
- 6:21Speaker 1: That's right, that's right.
- 6:23Speaker 7: So I got a couple of questions for you. And
- 6:25Speaker 7: by the way, happy Thanksgiving because a question not gonna
- 6:27Speaker 7: be on tomorrow. Happy Birthday to your brother Evan.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate that.
- 6:32Speaker 7: No problem, man, So who were you more worried about.
- 6:36Speaker 7: That's the first question. Is the veto or Andrew Lock?
- 6:42Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry a lot. I mean, Drew Lock all
- 6:47Speaker 1: day that he could he can spend it now and
- 6:51Speaker 1: he might be you know, he's got the clips that
- 6:54Speaker 1: we see these goofy and whatever they all are. But
- 6:58Speaker 1: I know he can throw that ball. And I saw
- 7:00Speaker 1: a game. I'm the same way, And I think there's
- 7:04Speaker 1: a lot of people that I've talked to that are like,
- 7:06Speaker 1: I don't feel good about I told you I didn't
- 7:08Speaker 1: feel good about this game. And that was before. That
- 7:11Speaker 1: was before he was entering the mix. Now let's let's
- 7:15Speaker 1: you know, this isn't Josh Allen. I mean, it's not
- 7:17Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. We get it. I mean there's a reason
- 7:20Speaker 1: why he's played on like three or four teams. I mean,
- 7:22Speaker 1: he's he's one of those players good enough to sign,
- 7:26Speaker 1: not good enough to keep. We've seen it happens a
- 7:29Speaker 1: lot those that's what journeymen are, so you know, and
- 7:33Speaker 1: he'll be yeah, but but he's you know, he's got
- 7:38Speaker 1: receivers and he can throw it and and and he's
- 7:42Speaker 1: you know, all it takes is a couple of big
- 7:44Speaker 1: plays early and now you found yourself a game. And
- 7:46Speaker 1: that's where I just expect the Cowboys are going to
- 7:48Speaker 1: be in a situation like that.
- 7:52Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, So now I think you know, Jesse gives
- 7:58Speaker 7: the stats. I need to stand from you, okay, towards
- 8:03Speaker 7: the warrant, the running, the running game. What amount of
- 8:06Speaker 7: yards and carries should it be for us to win
- 8:10Speaker 7: this game? Because I think that's gonna be our most
- 8:14Speaker 7: of the downfall. It's going to be the run. Even
- 8:16Speaker 7: though we've been showing some light and getting better on
- 8:19Speaker 7: stopping the run. But I feel like, if we can
- 8:21Speaker 7: stop to run this game, keep him under I say
- 8:23Speaker 7: seventy yards.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Oh we're talking about Cowboys defense.
- 8:27Speaker 7: Yes, yes, keeping them under seventy yards wrestling. I'll even
- 8:30Speaker 7: give them an eighties if we can keep them under
- 8:32Speaker 7: eighty yards, I say we win this game twenty three
- 8:37Speaker 7: to seventeen. Another five point game, all right, that would
- 8:41Speaker 7: be six That's all I got man.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Thanksgiving man, all right, Caroln, I have a good one.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Yeah, I mean I don't know exactly the
- 8:51Speaker 1: number there. You know, usually you keep someone in the
- 8:54Speaker 1: in the range, you know, overall, if they're only rushing
- 8:56Speaker 1: for about eighty yards overall, that's that's pretty good stuff
- 9:00Speaker 1: there For the Cowboys. I thought you were talking about
- 9:02Speaker 1: the other way around with a cop That's where I
- 9:04Speaker 1: think the big key is gonna be is the running
- 9:06Speaker 1: game for the Cowboys, because you know, the Giants. I
- 9:10Speaker 1: think I saw was stat the Giants have have given
- 9:14Speaker 1: up one hundred and forty yards rushing in the last
- 9:17Speaker 1: five games each one hundred and forty yards each in
- 9:21Speaker 1: the last five games at least one forty. Cowboys haven't
- 9:24Speaker 1: gone over one thirty seven the entire season. So something's
- 9:28Speaker 1: gonna give there. I think I'm gonna call it. I
- 9:30Speaker 1: think Rico Dawdle gets his first one hundred yard game
- 9:33Speaker 1: of the season. He's, you know, eighty six last week,
- 9:37Speaker 1: had an eighty seven against Pittsburgh, and what do you know,
- 9:41Speaker 1: they won those two games. So it's not that eighty
- 9:44Speaker 1: six and eighty seven is like the standard, but for
- 9:48Speaker 1: this team it is because they're they're winning games. So
- 9:51Speaker 1: his best two games of the season eighty six eighty
- 9:53Speaker 1: seven yards rushing, they both won. Now it took you know,
- 9:57Speaker 1: last second games, last second wins, of course, to get there.
- 10:01Speaker 1: But that's kind of where it is. All right, let's
- 10:03Speaker 1: go to al in Merkele, Texas.
- 10:08Speaker 8: What's Nick?
- 10:09Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 10:10Speaker 9: I am doing great?
- 10:11Speaker 1: How are you good? I might I don't know exactly
- 10:14Speaker 1: where Merkel is, but I know I'm going to be
- 10:15Speaker 1: driving through that area later this afternoon, so I'll be
- 10:19Speaker 1: in that that part of the world.
- 10:22Speaker 9: Are you going to the game tomorrow?
- 10:24Speaker 1: I'm the Cowboys game?
- 10:27Speaker 9: Yes, Oh, I mean Friday Friday.
- 10:29Speaker 1: You're talking about Stanford Bulldogs. Yes, I won't be at
- 10:33Speaker 1: that game, but I have a bunch of family members
- 10:35Speaker 1: that will be because that's where I'll be denied. Stanford
- 10:39Speaker 1: Texas and they're what, they're undefeated, number one team in
- 10:42Speaker 1: the state, right sir. Yeah, I've heard a lot about it.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I've heard a lot about it, and rightfully so, and
- 10:47Speaker 1: I'm hoping they keep winning. So they go to AT
- 10:49Speaker 1: and T Stadium and playing in the state championship game.
- 10:52Speaker 1: That would be a lot of.
- 10:53Speaker 8: Fun, exactly give you a quick geographical lesson. Merkel is
- 10:57Speaker 8: about fifteen miles west of Aveleen, have about forty miles
- 11:02Speaker 8: about forty miles south of sam Okay, we're in the
- 11:06Speaker 8: same area.
- 11:06Speaker 9: But anyway, I don't want to take too much time,
- 11:09Speaker 9: but I just want to say, isn't just the best
- 11:12Speaker 9: half of the year.
- 11:14Speaker 1: It's Thanksgiving.
- 11:16Speaker 9: Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday the cowboarders playing. If the
- 11:19Speaker 9: cowboder are playing well, you get a victory on Sunday,
- 11:23Speaker 9: and then you're gonna have a few days and hopefully
- 11:25Speaker 9: get a victory on Thursday, and then you start the
- 11:28Speaker 9: crystals holiday shopping.
- 11:30Speaker 8: Not where you used to start.
- 11:31Speaker 9: It now it's e's a start around February first. But uh,
- 11:36Speaker 9: it's to me, it's just the best time of the year,
- 11:38Speaker 9: especially if.
- 11:39Speaker 8: The Cowboys are playing well or even decently.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I love it. I love this holiday.
- 11:44Speaker 1: It's my favorite holiday by far.
- 11:48Speaker 9: Hey, by the way, by the way, before you come off,
- 11:50Speaker 9: have your Thanksgiving to you and Chris and everybody there
- 11:53Speaker 9: in the back.
- 11:54Speaker 8: I love your show, still love it.
- 11:55Speaker 9: I don't have it called in much, but just been
- 11:57Speaker 9: going through a few things and the Cowboys have been
- 11:59Speaker 9: playing well, but I'm still here and I will always
- 12:02Speaker 9: be here.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Oh I love it. I know you will be all right,
- 12:05Speaker 1: Al thank you so much. You have any other question
- 12:08Speaker 1: or is that it?
- 12:09Speaker 9: H One more thing is like, man, we can't get
- 12:12Speaker 9: anything right. The season starts out, it's lame, the season
- 12:15Speaker 9: for the coach, this player hasn't time, this player and signed.
- 12:19Speaker 9: Then we start thinking out loud, and everybody starts getting
- 12:22Speaker 9: on us, and then we we seem to not turn
- 12:26Speaker 9: it around but actually get above water a little bit.
- 12:28Speaker 9: And then everybody starts grabbing because we're not tanking.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Yep, yes, you can't win. Yeah, yep, that's exactly yep.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Well that's it. Yeah, all right, Well thanks your that's
- 12:42Speaker 1: the season. You just you just put it all in
- 12:43Speaker 1: a nutshell, Alan Merkle, there, I mean, and it's always
- 12:47Speaker 1: that because it's people love to complain about something, and
- 12:51Speaker 1: you know, and that's another thing too, is you were
- 12:53Speaker 1: throwing out a lot of different people's opinions there. Some
- 12:56Speaker 1: people don't don't aren't worried about the tanking. Some people
- 12:59Speaker 1: do the one better draft pick whatever. I think that's clear.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I mean, we can stop that and that ain't happening.
- 13:06Speaker 1: The Cowboys are going to try to win these games,
- 13:08Speaker 1: and they don't have to try to play young players,
- 13:11Speaker 1: they don't have to try to do things that there's
- 13:13Speaker 1: so many injuries, there's so much you know, turmoil that
- 13:17Speaker 1: this team has been in that that it's it's kind
- 13:20Speaker 1: of taking care of itself. All right, Let's go to
- 13:23Speaker 1: Ali in Florida.
- 13:26Speaker 10: Allotle, misstatement, very good, Happy Thanksgiving.

- 14:02Speaker 10: of us off out of what I'm thinking, but by

- 14:08Speaker 10: what he's saying. But I love the way he reads
- 14:11Speaker 10: my mind. I'm thankful for Randy, his heart and souls.

- 15:01Speaker 1: a you know, state champs for the storyline, many people
- 15:06Speaker 1: do something like that. I mean it's hard to be
- 15:07Speaker 1: Texas too. I mean Texas is where it's at. I
- 15:10Speaker 1: mean we already had uh well, I don't know if
- 15:13Speaker 1: you count Carolina there. He's in Texas right now. But
- 15:17Speaker 1: a lot of the strong callers there, we've gotta we
- 15:19Speaker 1: have a lot coming from from Florida as well, so
- 15:22Speaker 1: and I'll lease one of them. Thank you so much.
- 15:24Speaker 1: I appreciate the the kind words today. Uh you know,
- 15:27Speaker 1: and and I guess there's an out that said it
- 15:29Speaker 1: just a minute ago. I mean, when you're winning, everything
- 15:33Speaker 1: is better. It just it's just better. And that's and
- 15:35Speaker 1: that's why it's so hard for me to sit here
- 15:39Speaker 1: and even entertain thoughts of, well, I wish they would lose,
- 15:42Speaker 1: wish they would lose games. You don't understand. I mean,
- 15:45Speaker 1: well you do under you do understand, you know how
- 15:47Speaker 1: how you feel there. But you got to you got
- 15:49Speaker 1: to understand what it's like to be here in the
- 15:52Speaker 1: building every day, uh, you know, going to work and
- 15:56Speaker 1: just trying to figure this out. What's wrong with this team?
- 15:58Speaker 1: What's up? We're in seven is not where it's supposed
- 16:01Speaker 1: to be. We know that it's not that it's not
- 16:04Speaker 1: anywhere close to the standard. It's a disappointment. And one
- 16:08Speaker 1: win is not going to change that. But it sure
- 16:11Speaker 1: did make make the food taste a little bit better
- 16:13Speaker 1: the last couple of days, and and it feels good
- 16:16Speaker 1: to get off the plane and go home and see
- 16:19Speaker 1: your family and on a game and a win like that,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and think about what the players and coaches are going through.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I mean, this is a grind. This is a grind,
- 16:27Speaker 1: and so you know, and then they're turning around and
- 16:30Speaker 1: then they got to do it again. And you know
- 16:32Speaker 1: what's better than one win, two wins keep it rolling
- 16:36Speaker 1: all right, we're keeping it rolling here. Let's go to
- 16:38Speaker 1: zach in Atlanta, Georgia.
- 16:40Speaker 13: Hey, what's up, Nick?
- 16:41Speaker 7: How are you man?
- 16:41Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 16:43Speaker 13: I'm great man, Happy Thanksgiving to you and Sabim. I
- 16:47Speaker 13: got two quick questions for you and then I'll hang up. Okay, One,
- 16:51Speaker 13: what's your go to Thanksgiving?
- 16:53Speaker 7: Side?
- 16:54Speaker 1: Side? I don't know if it's if it's stuffing or
- 16:58Speaker 1: dressing or really I don't know the difference between the two,
- 17:01Speaker 1: but that it's got to be there. It's absolutely got
- 17:03Speaker 1: to be there for me. That mesotatoes, I mean that
- 17:06Speaker 1: they go together. But but the stuffing, the dressing, I
- 17:09Speaker 1: couldn't tell you the difference, whatever it is. Just put
- 17:11Speaker 1: it on there, the two scoops there and.
- 17:13Speaker 13: It's delicious, man, it is. Yeah, you remind with some
- 17:18Speaker 13: cranberry sauce and gravy on the stuff and just kind
- 17:21Speaker 13: of it's a vehicle for everything, you know.
- 17:23Speaker 8: So good, love it, love it man.
- 17:26Speaker 13: Well, hey, I'm looking for a big game from our
- 17:28Speaker 13: guys Thanksgiving. Mister Hunter Luki himself tomorrow.
- 17:34Speaker 1: That's right, he's I forgot I call him that, all right,
- 17:37Speaker 1: all right, Thanksgiving, it's just time, that's right.
- 17:39Speaker 9: It's time.
- 17:40Speaker 14: Let's let's eat.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Let's eat, man, let's go, let's go. You know, this
- 17:45Speaker 1: is one of those where you know, paper plates are
- 17:47Speaker 1: good because they're easy to throw away, but man, they
- 17:50Speaker 1: start to bend a little bit if you put too
- 17:52Speaker 1: much on there, you know, So like that's that's when
- 17:55Speaker 1: you know you got a good Thanksgiving?
- 17:56Speaker 12: Is it?
- 17:56Speaker 1: When it's like, oh oh, two hands on the plate please?
- 17:59Speaker 13: So that's right, that's right, he can handle it. He
- 18:02Speaker 13: can handle it.
- 18:03Speaker 1: The ball please. It's not Miami. So yeah, we need
- 18:07Speaker 1: to get let's get him in the end zone. I
- 18:09Speaker 1: think he scores this week.
- 18:11Speaker 13: I think so too. I agree earlier. I think you
- 18:15Speaker 13: said Rico has another good game. I'm with that too.
- 18:18Speaker 13: I think the running game is solid for us, and
- 18:22Speaker 13: I think the galloping gobbler if that's what the network
- 18:26Speaker 13: is going to call the MVP of the game. If
- 18:29Speaker 13: if we're doing galloping gobler, I think it's Michael Parsons.
- 18:32Speaker 13: I think he balls out. But I do think Thanksgiving, Hunter,
- 18:36Speaker 13: Lipkey and uh Rico lead the offense. But Michael Parsons
- 18:41Speaker 13: has a great day. And so who is your galloping gobbler?
- 18:46Speaker 13: I don't know if you can say that on Dallas
- 18:48Speaker 13: Cowboys dot Com. That's a media conflict. I don't know trademark,
- 18:51Speaker 13: But who do you think steals the show tomorrow?
- 18:54Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even want to say that.
- 18:56Speaker 1: I don't even like saying that, but I always think
- 18:58Speaker 1: it's it's just a sound good to me, But they
- 19:01Speaker 1: really they really call that, like who's getting the turkey
- 19:04Speaker 1: leg or the tur duck in? You know that's man.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I miss John Madden, I really do. I just there's
- 19:12Speaker 1: nobody like him, and I love I love Thanksgiving games
- 19:16Speaker 1: just because of him, you know, just him doing the
- 19:20Speaker 1: games and how excited he would get and all that
- 19:22Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But you know, I just have a
- 19:25Speaker 1: feeling about Rico too. I just think Rico is going
- 19:27Speaker 1: to have a big game. And but if there's awards
- 19:32Speaker 1: to be given out, you know, like or whatever it is,
- 19:34Speaker 1: if it's little trophies, if it's turkey legs, you know,
- 19:37Speaker 1: Michaeh likes getting trophies too, so you know, he'll stay
- 19:41Speaker 1: in that game the whole time, even if they're winning,
- 19:43Speaker 1: He'll stay in that game and get more sacks. So
- 19:46Speaker 1: I'm with you. I could see it being Micah.
- 19:49Speaker 13: But.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You know, I think Brandon Cooks had a pretty big
- 19:53Speaker 1: game against the Giants. It would be nice to have
- 19:54Speaker 1: him back this week. And I think he is. I
- 19:58Speaker 1: think he's gonna play this week. I think that's the
- 20:00Speaker 1: But then again, I believe it when you see it
- 20:02Speaker 1: type type thing. That's right, that's right, all right?
- 20:05Speaker 13: Well, hey man, Happy Thanksgiving, you and yours, all of
- 20:09Speaker 13: Cowboys storyline and enjoy some people you love, some food
- 20:13Speaker 13: you love, and the team we love. Jill Cowboys care
- 20:16Speaker 13: love it.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Well said, thank you. Let's go to one more caller
- 20:20Speaker 1: before we take a break. Bill in Deerfield, Kansas.
- 20:25Speaker 5: Bill Mystery, when how are you doing today? Thanksgiving? And
- 20:29Speaker 5: Happy birthday to your brother?
- 20:30Speaker 1: Thank you? Well, let's go first time caller, right, yes, sir,
- 20:36Speaker 1: go Bill? And what's going on in Deerfield, Kansas? Where
- 20:41Speaker 1: is that actually a.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Little bit of rain and some cold winds?
- 20:45Speaker 1: All right? All right, well I asked you, so that's okay.
- 20:49Speaker 1: We can talk whether if I ask you. Deerfield just
- 20:53Speaker 1: sounds like cold. I like it. It's a cool town.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Sounds like it.
- 20:57Speaker 5: And if you blink you'll miss it.
- 21:01Speaker 1: It's one of those all right, Yes, okay, I kind
- 21:04Speaker 1: of I grew up in that area there in northeast Oklahoma,
- 21:07Speaker 1: So I've been in Kansas a little bit. All right, Bill,
- 21:10Speaker 1: what's on your mind?
- 21:12Speaker 5: Okay? With all the free agents we have this year
- 21:16Speaker 5: coming up, I don't remember how many there's it's a
- 21:18Speaker 5: pretty high number, like twenty seven.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I think that's about right. It's in there. Yep.
- 21:25Speaker 5: Realistically, how many of these young men do we think
- 21:29Speaker 5: we're going to be able to retain? Because can't make
- 21:31Speaker 5: it all up in the draft.
- 21:32Speaker 13: We can't.
- 21:33Speaker 5: I mean, we just don't have enough capital to make
- 21:37Speaker 5: all this up. How many of these do you think
- 21:38Speaker 5: we're going to realistic be able to keep?
- 21:42Speaker 1: Uh, I would say fifteen or so. I mean, I'm
- 21:48Speaker 1: looking at the list. I mean it's probably I think
- 21:53Speaker 1: you were right. I don't want to count on the air,
- 21:55Speaker 1: but I feel like it's in that range of twenty so.
- 21:58Speaker 1: And then there's you've got to You've got three restricted
- 22:01Speaker 1: free agents. It's gonna be interesting Marquis bell One, Yer
- 22:06Speaker 1: Thomas and Cavante Turpin, which will be very interesting on
- 22:09Speaker 1: what they do with him. So you know they're guys
- 22:13Speaker 1: that you have to make decisions on. Yeah, it won't
- 22:19Speaker 1: be everybody but but a lot of these guys get
- 22:21Speaker 1: one year deals. You know, they're on a one year deal,
- 22:23Speaker 1: so they're gonna get another one year deal. So you know, fifteen,
- 22:28Speaker 1: twelve to fIF I don't know how about twelve it
- 22:32Speaker 1: still seems high.
- 22:33Speaker 5: Actually that's kind of what I was.
- 22:35Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, you know, I mean it's
- 22:38Speaker 1: probably eight or nine, and then and then you let
- 22:42Speaker 1: four or five that are gonna that are gonna go,
- 22:45Speaker 1: and then some of these guys probably won't sign with anybody,
- 22:48Speaker 1: you know, I mean they just because you're an restrict
- 22:50Speaker 1: free agent, I mean, doesn't mean you're gonna you're gonna
- 22:53Speaker 1: sign with anyone. You know, what does he do? I mean,
- 22:58Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't know if he's
- 22:59Speaker 1: even you know, Toomey Doga, I mean looking at names
- 23:02Speaker 1: like that, Carl Lawson, you know some of some of
- 23:05Speaker 1: these players, Yeah, yeah, Jalen Yeah, Jordan Lewis, Linval Joseph,
- 23:11Speaker 1: Carlos Watkins. So I'm just saying some of these guys
- 23:15Speaker 1: probably don't sign. So Osa is a. He's also on
- 23:20Speaker 1: this list as well. He will sign with someone.
- 23:24Speaker 2: And.
- 23:26Speaker 1: You know, thirty seven pressures for Micah Parsons this year,
- 23:31Speaker 1: and I know he's missed some games, I mean obviously
- 23:32Speaker 1: missed what four or five, but Olsa's got thirty one
- 23:37Speaker 1: from the defensive tackle position. That's really strong. Thirty one
- 23:41Speaker 1: pressures from your interior defensive tackle is a really good job.
- 23:45Speaker 1: And it's also a good job for Mazzie Smith because
- 23:48Speaker 1: Mazzi's job is to hold that down so Osa can
- 23:50Speaker 1: make that place. And he's doing that as well, so
- 23:54Speaker 1: it's a combination thing. So they just don't leave him out.
- 23:56Speaker 1: But Osa is having a really good year.
- 23:58Speaker 5: Mazie's doing a lot better and what I expected four
- 24:02Speaker 5: weeks ago, yep.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Yeah, he has definitely played better and and and a
- 24:07Speaker 1: credit to him, and a credit to those coaches are
- 24:09Speaker 1: still working with him, and and you know, and keep
- 24:12Speaker 1: grinding and keep you know, it hasn't been easy. It's
- 24:14Speaker 1: not a good time to try to get better, you know,
- 24:16Speaker 1: because how you we talked about all the time, you
- 24:18Speaker 1: get better seven days a week, not just on game day.
- 24:21Speaker 1: So to keep putting in the work, to keep keep grinding,
- 24:25Speaker 1: to keep you know, watching the film and practice and
- 24:27Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's a credit to those young guys
- 24:30Speaker 1: that keep getting better. Well sir, all right, awesome, thank you,
- 24:38Speaker 1: thank you, appreciated you too, all right. Always good to
- 24:41Speaker 1: hear new voices on the show. Let's take a break
- 24:43Speaker 1: real quick on storyline. Be right back after this.

- 26:51Speaker 1: Let's go to Matt in southern California. Matt, Good morning, Nick.
- 26:56Speaker 14: How are you doing.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Good, budd what's up with you?
- 27:00Speaker 14: Just want to say, first off, happy Thanksgiving to you,
- 27:03Speaker 14: the whole Storyline family and all the Dallas Cowboy fans.
- 27:07Speaker 14: I'll be pretty quick with you.
- 27:08Speaker 12: Nick.
- 27:09Speaker 14: I had two questions that are like really really heavy
- 27:13Speaker 14: on my heart, and the first one is when Zach
- 27:17Speaker 14: Martin is healthy, does he come back and start because
- 27:20Speaker 14: I was wondering, you know, even watching after that Washington game.
- 27:25Speaker 14: In my opinion, which is just my opinion, Zak is
- 27:29Speaker 14: not one of the best five that we have and
- 27:32Speaker 14: him playing in between Steel who seems to struggle often
- 27:36Speaker 14: and BB who's a rookie. When you put Hoffmann or
- 27:40Speaker 14: you put Bass in there, you add two bullies who
- 27:44Speaker 14: reminded me of Zach Martin was like five years ago,
- 27:47Speaker 14: and the Cowboys just seem to be more efficient. And
- 27:50Speaker 14: then the second question I have for you, and it's
- 27:54Speaker 14: just my opinion too. Building a team is like a
- 27:58Speaker 14: pie and it has has many We see that the
- 28:01Speaker 14: Cowboys draft really well, and so if they just keep
- 28:06Speaker 14: doing the same thing they're doing in the draft, I
- 28:08Speaker 14: think will be successful. And then doing our best to
- 28:11Speaker 14: keep some of our upcoming players that are free agents.
- 28:16Speaker 14: That's another side of the pie. And then a third
- 28:19Speaker 14: piece of the pie that I see that we are
- 28:22Speaker 14: just terrible in. It's free agency because Jerry finally open
- 28:27Speaker 14: up his eyes and look at players like Sa Kuan
- 28:30Speaker 14: and Derrick Henry and go into free agency, or do
- 28:34Speaker 14: we wait for three months into free agency and then
- 28:38Speaker 14: go for players that basically are sitting on the couch
- 28:41Speaker 14: that nobody wants. I'll hang up and listen, and I
- 28:44Speaker 14: thank you for your time.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you, Matt. You know, those three those
- 28:50Speaker 1: three slices are three ingredients of the pie are not
- 28:54Speaker 1: always equal. And then the Cowboys don't view it that way.
- 28:57Speaker 1: I mean, so I don't know if that analogy were
- 29:00Speaker 1: for them, because the way you're you're making it is
- 29:03Speaker 1: like you got to have all three to make it
- 29:06Speaker 1: work the same. And you know, obviously they don't view
- 29:11Speaker 1: the free agency that way. But I would hope that
- 29:14Speaker 1: this year should change some opinions there. I mean, the
- 29:17Speaker 1: running backs, those free agent running backs have been great.
- 29:21Speaker 1: I mean, both of them are battling for maybe Offensive
- 29:26Speaker 1: Player of the Year or MVP or or whatever I mean,
- 29:30Speaker 1: and and they It's not just those guys. You know,
- 29:32Speaker 1: you've seen some other free agents changing teams playing well.
- 29:36Speaker 1: I think Tony Pollard is having a good season there
- 29:39Speaker 1: in Tennessee. So so second contracts, uh, you know God
- 29:43Speaker 1: was gonna use the running back like that this year.
- 29:47Speaker 1: So let me go back to your first part. I'm
- 29:51Speaker 1: just I'm not there as far as saying Zach Martin's
- 29:55Speaker 1: not one of your best five linemen. Expectations can be
- 29:59Speaker 1: a very tricky thing, and so we base things off
- 30:03Speaker 1: of that. We base things off of expectations. I always
- 30:06Speaker 1: think about my analogy of you know, you have the
- 30:11Speaker 1: valedictorian who's got a four point zero. He's going to Harvard,
- 30:14Speaker 1: he's in your class, and you got a guy over
- 30:17Speaker 1: here that never shows up, he never even opens a book.
- 30:20Speaker 1: They go, they take a test and he gets a
- 30:23Speaker 1: seventy five and you're like, wow, how did you do that?
- 30:26Speaker 1: And the guy that's the valedictorian gets a seventy eight
- 30:29Speaker 1: who's never had a bad grade before, Well, that's terrible
- 30:33Speaker 1: for him or her, and seventy five like wow, but
- 30:38Speaker 1: still better, you know what I mean, It's still better,
- 30:40Speaker 1: But yet your expectations were totally different. So Zach Martin
- 30:45Speaker 1: playing at the level he is, I still feel like
- 30:48Speaker 1: he's probably better. I still think he is better than
- 30:51Speaker 1: these other guys, But our expectations is that he can't
- 30:54Speaker 1: even have a holding penalty. He's got more Pro Bowls
- 30:56Speaker 1: than he does holding penalties. So that's the bar for him.
- 31:00Speaker 1: And these other guys, you know, they're they're they're happy.
- 31:04Speaker 1: I mean, they're trying to stay in the league and
- 31:06Speaker 1: and and get starting jobs. They did a great job
- 31:08Speaker 1: of playing in that game, and so our expectations were different.
- 31:12Speaker 1: But I still feel like, until they tell us otherwise,
- 31:17Speaker 1: I still feel like Zach Martin is a better option
- 31:19Speaker 1: at guard's experience. He's seen more, but he's not necessarily
- 31:23Speaker 1: playing at the level that we that we we expect,
- 31:26Speaker 1: And that's that's kind of where it is there. All right,
- 31:28Speaker 1: Let's go to Steve in New York. Hey, Nick, Hey, Steve,
- 31:33Speaker 1: how are you doing?
- 31:34Speaker 14: How we doing?
- 31:35Speaker 7: All right?
- 31:35Speaker 18: And you know you're talking about the running back. I
- 31:37Speaker 18: don't know if you heard the broadcast the Eagles on
- 31:41Speaker 18: is that Sunday night against the Rams. He was talking
- 31:44Speaker 18: about the running backs and Henry and Barkley, and he
- 31:46Speaker 18: mentioned the Cowboys, of course, and he and he like,
- 31:50Speaker 18: he made it clear that you know, these guys would
- 31:52Speaker 18: not have had the same success behind the Cowboys line
- 31:56Speaker 18: out they're uh that they're having Now. I tend to
- 31:59Speaker 18: agree with him, but you know, I mean, you know,
- 32:02Speaker 18: we'll never know, but it is interesting that he made
- 32:05Speaker 18: that point.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Well, they'd have more success though. I mean, I get,
- 32:09Speaker 1: I get the part about the blocking is not the same,
- 32:13Speaker 1: and and I agree with that, but Rico Daddle is
- 32:16Speaker 1: a good solid back, but he doesn't he's not dynamic,
- 32:20Speaker 1: he's not flashy, he doesn't do something better. I mean,
- 32:24Speaker 1: he's not doesn't have breakaway speed, he's not big. So
- 32:26Speaker 1: look at Barkley, look at look at what Henry's doing.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I mean, they they do things different than other backs,
- 32:33Speaker 1: so they they have special traits and and so they
- 32:37Speaker 1: they would make up for some of that as well.
- 32:39Speaker 1: And and also you get more pushed early in the game,
- 32:43Speaker 1: then you keep running, then you keep having success, then
- 32:46Speaker 1: you keep running and stacking on top of it. So
- 32:48Speaker 1: I think there's both statements can be true.
- 32:51Speaker 18: Yeah, And it's like, I know it's a cliche. I
- 32:53Speaker 18: don't like it, but Henry really does run downhill.
- 32:56Speaker 14: I mean that that that guy's that guy's unbelievable.
- 32:59Speaker 18: Yeah yeah, And okay, just real quick about us, you know,
- 33:02Speaker 18: I'll hit you with a trivia to I'm amazed up
- 33:05Speaker 18: here in New York the people that I talked to
- 33:07Speaker 18: Giant fans, and I thought Cowboy fans wanted to tank
- 33:11Speaker 18: the tanking that they want up here, and I'm just
- 33:14Speaker 18: like they even came up with some you know, they
- 33:16Speaker 18: just see these projections they have where they said, based
- 33:20Speaker 18: on strength of schedule, the Giants are projected to get
- 33:23Speaker 18: the number one pick, and how they came to that,
- 33:26Speaker 18: you know, conclusion, I guess, you know, based on who
- 33:28Speaker 18: the other teams and who's gonna win, who's gonna lose.
- 33:31Speaker 18: But you know, my my stance with that, the tanking
- 33:37Speaker 18: against it, And how about the people who you know,
- 33:39Speaker 18: i'm gonna say Cowboy fans too, and even media or
- 33:41Speaker 18: talking about this, you've heard it mentioned, oh the culture here,
- 33:44Speaker 18: the culture here, So you're complaining about that, and then
- 33:48Speaker 18: you want us to lose football games to get a pick.
- 33:51Speaker 18: That's no guarantee.
- 33:53Speaker 1: No no, I said, and I said it yesterday and
- 33:57Speaker 1: I and I and I think there's other examples. But
- 34:00Speaker 1: I think that you you you just gain more than
- 34:04Speaker 1: people would ever know about about going having some success,
- 34:07Speaker 1: building confidence and and and you know, winning games and
- 34:11Speaker 1: playing well and both individually and as a team. I
- 34:16Speaker 1: think it helps you dramatically. And I I pointed that
- 34:19Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. I think that really helped the Cowboys
- 34:21Speaker 1: take it to another level there, absolutely, But yeah, those
- 34:26Speaker 1: things are hard, you know, to equate, So fans and
- 34:30Speaker 1: media they don't they don't jump to that, but they
- 34:32Speaker 1: know that picking fourth is probably better than picking ninth
- 34:36Speaker 1: maybe you know, but you never know, and.
- 34:38Speaker 18: Then they'll tell us and then then you know, then
- 34:40Speaker 18: then they'll say, well, the drift is a crap.
- 34:42Speaker 5: Sure, well we know that right right.
- 34:45Speaker 1: I mean, you pick six, then you could get you know,
- 34:47Speaker 1: you could get more Clayborne.
- 34:48Speaker 18: You know exactly. I was just going to say that
- 34:51Speaker 18: name too, and we traded up with that guy. But yeah, whatever,
- 34:53Speaker 18: that's that's the point real quick. With my trivia. Actually,
- 34:57Speaker 18: twenty six years ago yesterday was the infamous with a
- 35:00Speaker 18: Randy Moss game on Thanksgiving. I always liked your quote.
- 35:04Speaker 18: I think it was on one of the specials. He
- 35:06Speaker 18: only caught three passes.
- 35:08Speaker 5: Yeah, with a big touchdown.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Right, it's unbelievable.
- 35:12Speaker 18: Yeah, under the radar. In that game, Apeman threw for
- 35:15Speaker 18: four hundred and fifty plus yards.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Yeah, but he.
- 35:18Speaker 18: Only threw one touchdown. Who did you throw the touchdown to?
- 35:24Speaker 18: I know, you know, I know, you.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Know, I do, I do.
- 35:28Speaker 18: Patrick Jeffers, Patrick Jeffers.
- 35:31Speaker 1: It was about what about sixty five yards something like that.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Seventy Yeah, something was mom. It was it was early
- 35:36Speaker 1: in the game and it was it was one where
- 35:38Speaker 1: I was like, all right, you know that's that game.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Is the first game, the first Thanksgiving Day game that
- 35:46Speaker 1: I covered. I covered it. I wasn't actually working for
- 35:49Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I was working for Wichita Falls newspaper and
- 35:52Speaker 1: I covered that game on Thanksgiving with my boss. He
- 35:55Speaker 1: took me down to the game. His name was Nick.
- 35:57Speaker 1: He took me down to the game and that was
- 35:59Speaker 1: the first game and that I, you know, I missed
- 36:02Speaker 1: Thanksgiving or whatever. I think it went to the cafeteria
- 36:05Speaker 1: during that day, and uh, I didn't realize that I
- 36:08Speaker 1: would never would I would I would never go to
- 36:11Speaker 1: another Thanksgiving with my family since then, I mean like
- 36:13Speaker 1: it's been, uh, it's been When you say twenty six years.
- 36:16Speaker 1: So yeah, twenty six straight ones. Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
- 36:19Speaker 18: And just a weird footnote with him, Jeffers, like he
- 36:22Speaker 18: left the team and the next year he had like
- 36:24Speaker 18: over a thousand yards for Carolina and was tied for
- 36:29Speaker 18: second in touchdown receptions in the league, and then you
- 36:32Speaker 18: never heard from him again. Right, just like one of
- 36:33Speaker 18: those footnotes. It had like three great Thanksgiving man, every
- 36:37Speaker 18: all the callers loved the show and hopefully we get
- 36:41Speaker 18: a w tomorrow.
- 36:42Speaker 1: All right, thank you so much, appreciate it. Good good
- 36:44Speaker 1: stuff as always that happy Thanksgiving to you, Steve.
- 36:47Speaker 10: Uh.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Let's go to Anthony in Miami. I'm sure Anthony's in
- 36:50Speaker 1: a terrible mood. Anthony, Oh yeah.
- 36:59Speaker 12: Went with dad, I'm in a bad move that they
- 37:06Speaker 12: I just got you talking to Logan me my buddy,
- 37:09Speaker 12: making no smock, saying I'm in a terrible move baby.
- 37:14Speaker 12: I mean we're gonna beat the breaks some giants. I'm
- 37:17Speaker 12: in a terrible move, bab I call my boys hanging
- 37:21Speaker 12: Frida and gave a speech to the other year got
- 37:24Speaker 12: the prediction almost right. I'm in a terrible moon baby.
- 37:28Speaker 1: How you doing, Nick, I'm good, buddy, I'm good. I'm
- 37:32Speaker 1: laughing because because my son, Jacob's actually in the room
- 37:37Speaker 1: here and he's you know, I've made sure he's quiet
- 37:39Speaker 1: over in the corner, and he's got like you can't hear,
- 37:43Speaker 1: like he can't hear. He's not supposed to be able
- 37:46Speaker 1: to hear through these headphones. But he can hear you
- 37:48Speaker 1: yelling like that. He can hear your Barry Switzerland. So
- 37:51Speaker 1: he's over here laughing. So that's how good stuff.
- 37:55Speaker 12: Nick. Guess what was that?
- 37:57Speaker 14: What?
- 37:58Speaker 10: Jacob?
- 37:59Speaker 17: How you going with?
- 38:01Speaker 12: Damn Jacob, you're down with bops. You're talking the half. Nay,
- 38:04Speaker 12: we're doing it, Jacob, we're doing the papers.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Oh man, it's not bad. It's not a bad swish.
- 38:13Speaker 12: Hey, that's my. Hey, that's my Don't let me do
- 38:16Speaker 12: the jermy Now, Nigga's Wednesday. I heard, I heard the
- 38:18Speaker 12: captains stay here tried one hundred and some times, twenty
- 38:22Speaker 12: two times. Man, I don't know if I gotta be
- 38:23Speaker 12: luckiest guy in the world, but I now that's twenty two.
- 38:25Speaker 12: That's the record for me. I just know how to
- 38:28Speaker 12: hit it.
- 38:28Speaker 9: I guess hit it at the right time.
- 38:30Speaker 12: But and the one of mister Jones, I could be
- 38:34Speaker 12: any one in the world right now. Nick, But I'm here,
- 38:38Speaker 12: right here with you and the Cowboys storyliners, they're right
- 38:41Speaker 12: there with you talking Cowboys football. I can be anywhere
- 38:45Speaker 12: in the world, but I'm talking to you. But anyway, anyway,
- 38:49Speaker 12: like I said, called the Boys Friday, so I got
- 38:51Speaker 12: that out. That's why I didn't call you last week.
- 38:53Speaker 12: But of course I listen to every show. I don't
- 38:56Speaker 12: drink hopium, Nick, you know what I'm saying. I drink read,
- 39:00Speaker 12: drink truth. I drink belief. See, I got bibles of
- 39:04Speaker 12: that at the house. I got it stored up in
- 39:05Speaker 12: the corner. Shout out, you know, always shout somebody out.
- 39:09Speaker 12: Robbie Man, that stuff is contagious. Man, you got me.
- 39:13Speaker 12: I thought I was the most positive.
- 39:16Speaker 18: I said, he don't care what it is.
- 39:18Speaker 12: I don't care what it is the rule, but the Cowboys, right,
- 39:20Speaker 12: That's what I love.
- 39:21Speaker 14: Man.
- 39:22Speaker 12: It's not to say anything about anybody else. Like I said,
- 39:24Speaker 12: we got our Cowboys. You know what I'm saying. You
- 39:26Speaker 12: can call it Hope him if you want to. But hey,
- 39:29Speaker 12: everybody talking about this run possible. You know it's crazy that,
- 39:32Speaker 12: you know, with the sorratest team in America, even to
- 39:34Speaker 12: something about fans and maybe media, you know, laughing and
- 39:37Speaker 12: giggles and all. It's over. It's over. Nah, you never know.
- 39:40Speaker 12: It's a possibility. So I choose to be on this
- 39:44Speaker 12: side of the spectrum. You know what I'm saying. It
- 39:46Speaker 12: may be a possibility, baby, So I got I had
- 39:49Speaker 12: twenty nine twenty six for the for the Commander's game.
- 39:52Speaker 12: I got the Commander's side right, missed Cowboys side. So
- 39:55Speaker 12: you know me, I took a score like every two
- 39:57Speaker 12: weeks and three weeks. I take it two to three weeks.
- 39:59Speaker 12: So we gonna twenty nine twenty six again, probably won't
- 40:02Speaker 12: be as close, but we're gonna go Cowboys. Listen, man,
- 40:05Speaker 12: I'm thankful. I'm thankful, Happy Thanksgiving all your storyliners. Your
- 40:11Speaker 12: mainstream was rob By Ring, Dylan, Robbie Is, Jeremy, Gavin Langston,
- 40:17Speaker 12: you know, Travis. I'm just naming people. Zag Listen, I
- 40:21Speaker 12: listened to I'm giving it Brian, my boy Brian, definitely,
- 40:24Speaker 12: I love him, Randy loves Come on now, I'm gonna
- 40:26Speaker 12: give it to oh y'all. Happy Thanksgiving to Jazz and
- 40:31Speaker 12: Josh and my boy Beaming Logan and everybody. Man, I
- 40:34Speaker 12: love y'all.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Man Presley, love your family, baby.
- 40:38Speaker 12: Love your family. I talk to y'all next week.
- 40:39Speaker 1: All right, see it all right? Good stuff. That's suff Anthony.
- 40:45Speaker 1: You know you said twenty nine twenty six cowboys. I mean,
- 40:48Speaker 1: if one he and Thomas just does what he's supposed
- 40:50Speaker 1: to do and go down, it's twenty seven to twenty
- 40:53Speaker 1: six cowboys. Not bad. And just so people know this,
- 40:57Speaker 1: because I've heard the coaching staff getting rich for this.
- 41:01Speaker 1: They they have, They told they called time out before
- 41:05Speaker 1: that on side kick, and they it's it's a it's
- 41:08Speaker 1: a call that they may it's called no moss, no moss,
- 41:12Speaker 1: no more, no more, no more points, no more yards,
- 41:16Speaker 1: no more anything. Just get the ball down. We don't
- 41:19Speaker 1: need anything else. And it was reiterated to him, but
- 41:23Speaker 1: he was It was also reiterated to him that he
- 41:25Speaker 1: was going to get the ball because they could tell
- 41:26Speaker 1: by the alignment that they're going to kick it straight
- 41:28Speaker 1: down the middle. So he kind of took matters and
- 41:31Speaker 1: and and scores into his own hands there. But you know,
- 41:35Speaker 1: fortunately it wasn't a big deal. I mean, if they
- 41:37Speaker 1: go back and score a touchdown and tie the game,
- 41:39Speaker 1: go for two, tie it go to overtime lose. We're
- 41:42Speaker 1: talking a lot more about that play. So it's it's unfortunate,
- 41:47Speaker 1: it's fortunate for him, but but you know, they got
- 41:49Speaker 1: to be smart in those things. One point games. It's
- 41:52Speaker 1: same on defense too, if it's a one point game,
- 41:54Speaker 1: I mean, another touchdown does not help you. I've seen
- 41:57Speaker 1: it happen in other college games too. I've seen it
- 41:59Speaker 1: where you know, the teams are scoring up one ended
- 42:02Speaker 1: up losing. So it happens. All right, let's go with
- 42:06Speaker 1: Lester in Minnesota.
- 42:09Speaker 6: Hey, how you doing next? How you feel about that
- 42:15Speaker 6: offensive line? I said, we should put those players in
- 42:18Speaker 6: if the next man up man, and they did a
- 42:20Speaker 6: pretty decent job. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying
- 42:23Speaker 6: that they supposed to replace in their fire.
- 42:25Speaker 1: You want to keep them? Man, Now, that's the question.
- 42:27Speaker 1: That's what no.
- 42:30Speaker 6: No, I didn't say that. I just said, next man up,
- 42:33Speaker 6: man Hoffman. I like his attitude, and then they did
- 42:36Speaker 6: the job. So next man of whoever is available, let
- 42:39Speaker 6: him play. I know, my boy awesome riches. He went out,
- 42:43Speaker 6: he got some kind of injury, but like I said,
- 42:46Speaker 6: next man up. All right, But that's not why I
- 42:48Speaker 6: called man. I want to call and celebrate our victory
- 42:51Speaker 6: victory Wednesday, even though it was you know, they say
- 42:53Speaker 6: victory Monday, but I couldn't get in, so victory Wednesday. Hey, Yeah,
- 42:58Speaker 6: And I had a I wanted to make a response
- 43:02Speaker 6: to the guy that called a couple of calls ago
- 43:05Speaker 6: when he was slicing.
- 43:06Speaker 12: Up the pie.
- 43:07Speaker 6: I think I think what he meant was we just
- 43:10Speaker 6: it doesn't have to be a third third third. But
- 43:13Speaker 6: I think what he meant was we have to if
- 43:16Speaker 6: it's you know, we have to be more than what
- 43:18Speaker 6: we are doing now in free agents and not get
- 43:21Speaker 6: the bottom of the barrel of people. I think that's
- 43:23Speaker 6: what he meant whatever, And I agree, however that slices
- 43:27Speaker 6: up whatever the percentage are.
- 43:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I do agree with that. I think what they
- 43:35Speaker 1: look at it, especially with all these their own free agencies.
- 43:38Speaker 1: You know, they're going to try to resign some of
- 43:39Speaker 1: their own guys here, but not all. I mean, like
- 43:44Speaker 1: you see this list of players, you know it's probably time,
- 43:47Speaker 1: you know, to to to move on from from some
- 43:49Speaker 1: of these guys, and they're going to get the chance
- 43:51Speaker 1: to test the market. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't I
- 43:55Speaker 1: don't see that many on this list to be honest
- 43:57Speaker 1: that I'm just like, got to get him done, got
- 44:00Speaker 1: gotta have him, got it. You can't let him go,
- 44:02Speaker 1: can't let him out the door, you know, Brian, I.
- 44:08Speaker 6: Got one more comment, man, I don't I didn't get
- 44:11Speaker 6: any chances make this comment either, But I don't believe
- 44:14Speaker 6: in tinking anyway. I'm a former athlete, and and our
- 44:17Speaker 6: mentality is what are you taking for? I mean, if
- 44:21Speaker 6: jamorrow not promised, so you gotta do what you can
- 44:24Speaker 6: do today. Be the best you can be, all you
- 44:26Speaker 6: can be in the army saying all right, all right,
- 44:31Speaker 6: that's but not least my old saying until we get
- 44:34Speaker 6: a good, very good offensive and defensive line at the
- 44:37Speaker 6: same time. This is what we got, all right, Happy Thanksgiving?
- 44:41Speaker 6: Everybody go cowboys.
- 44:43Speaker 1: All right, let's they're good stuff. Let's go to Mike
- 44:46Speaker 1: in Birmingham, Birmingham, England. Mike, what's up, h Nick?
- 44:51Speaker 2: How are you today?
- 44:52Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you doing?
- 44:54Speaker 2: I'm all right? Thank you? Yeah, and happy Thanksgiving? And
- 44:57Speaker 2: advance to or my new man friends. I've made through
- 45:02Speaker 2: this show. So the sorry I haven't been listening today,
- 45:07Speaker 2: so I don't know what you've been talking about. But
- 45:10Speaker 2: the Washington game, I can't tell you that the pressure
- 45:15Speaker 2: I was feeling having pretty much sent Irene to the game,
- 45:19Speaker 2: and she'd been in touch to say, yeah, okay, I'm going,
- 45:22Speaker 2: and I'm so glad. Yeah, I didn't mean to, but
- 45:31Speaker 2: you know, when we were at the end and it
- 45:33Speaker 2: looked like we were doing our best to throw the
- 45:35Speaker 2: game away, I'm thinking, oh, no, Irene's going to kill me.
- 45:38Speaker 2: But I'm so glad it turned out the way it did.
- 45:43Speaker 2: And I won't do that again. I won't tell anyone
- 45:45Speaker 2: to go to any games. All I'd say is, if
- 45:49Speaker 2: the Cowboys are in your area, if you can afford it,
- 45:51Speaker 2: if your circumstances are there, I would encourage you to
- 45:54Speaker 2: go to the game. So perhaps that's a fairer thing
- 45:57Speaker 2: to say in future. And I was at was at
- 46:03Speaker 2: the soccer match last night, and sitting near me, I
- 46:07Speaker 2: saw a guy with a commander's hat on and I
- 46:11Speaker 2: got talking to him about the game and he said, right,
- 46:14Speaker 2: I don't know, like swear words in America, the word
- 46:17Speaker 2: B L, double O D. Why can I get away
- 46:19Speaker 2: with that on on here in America?
- 46:24Speaker 1: I don't know what did you say? What was it? Right? B?
- 46:28Speaker 2: L double B L double O d Y. Can I
- 46:31Speaker 2: get away with saying that on a podcast?
- 46:33Speaker 14: Right?
- 46:33Speaker 2: Okay? Right, okay. So I was talking to him about
- 46:37Speaker 2: the game and he just said bloody Cowboys every time.
- 46:42Speaker 2: So that was that was quite nice. It's it's just
- 46:44Speaker 2: nice to win again, is it, Nick, And nice to
- 46:48Speaker 2: have that spring in our steps. I wanted to talk
- 46:51Speaker 2: to you about Mike Zimmer because I feel like I'm
- 46:57Speaker 2: on quite a journey with him, and at the start
- 47:00Speaker 2: of the season it just wasn't clicking. But the defense,
- 47:05Speaker 2: in difficult circumstances with missing pieces, just seems to be
- 47:09Speaker 2: getting better and better and better. And I think he's
- 47:13Speaker 2: making a pretty strong case for sticking around a little
- 47:19Speaker 2: bit longer what he's had to deal with, including, you know,
- 47:24Speaker 2: an offense that's not putting the scores up for him
- 47:27Speaker 2: and like I say, key pieces missing and I don't
- 47:31Speaker 2: know something's happening there, And you know, apart from the
- 47:34Speaker 2: chaos at the end, I thought the defense were absolutely
- 47:37Speaker 2: superb against Washington. Be interested to see how they go
- 47:43Speaker 2: tomorrow night and see if the improvement keeps going. So
- 47:47Speaker 2: I don't know, I know you're not keen on talking
- 47:49Speaker 2: about you know coaches, and he's there and he's in
- 47:51Speaker 2: the job now. But I think he's making a really
- 47:55Speaker 2: strong case to stick around. And with that, I hear
- 48:00Speaker 2: your thoughts.
- 48:01Speaker 1: Thanks much, Thank you, Mike. Have a good Thanksgiving. Appreciate
- 48:04Speaker 1: the call. Yeah, I think we got to see I mean,
- 48:08Speaker 1: it's a it's a top. It starts with McCarthy and
- 48:11Speaker 1: then it goes from there. I mean, that's that's the
- 48:13Speaker 1: number one question. We can't go any further than that.
- 48:16Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with him next year, because you know,
- 48:18Speaker 1: you're not just going to keep your defensive coordinator and say,
- 48:20Speaker 1: all right, here's the head coach, you know, run this defense.
- 48:24Speaker 1: Doesn't work that way, So it has to start at
- 48:27Speaker 1: the top. First. All right, let's go to a quick break.
- 48:28Speaker 1: We're gonna come right back after break, and we're gonna
- 48:31Speaker 1: wrap this show up, and I'll have a special guest
- 48:33Speaker 1: with me when we return.
