- 0:01Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:02Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:04Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 2: This is Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:17Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
- 0:24Speaker 1: What's up? Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette. I'm
- 0:28Speaker 1: Nick Eatman. It's Thursday, October the second. Let's talk little
- 0:32Speaker 1: Cowboys and Jets. The Cowboys can get to Yeah, I
- 0:37Speaker 1: guess that would be five hundred two two and one.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Seems weird, but that's the way it would roll. I've
- 0:44Speaker 1: never been good at math, so don't hold me to it.
- 0:46Speaker 1: But yeah, the Cowboys trying to get even here after
- 0:49Speaker 1: five games. Hard to do, I guess after five games,
- 0:52Speaker 1: but the Cowboys certainly can do that playing the Jets
- 0:55Speaker 1: so and four. Don't let that record full of you.
- 0:57Speaker 1: I think that it's going to be a challenging game.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Got some playmakers. That quarterback, obviously, he's one that likes
- 1:03Speaker 1: to run. These linebackers. You guys have been pointing out
- 1:06Speaker 1: that the linebackers need to play better. Nothing can can
- 1:10Speaker 1: hurt them more than a running quarterback. We've seen that
- 1:12Speaker 1: already this year, and not to the level of Justin Field,
- 1:15Speaker 1: who I believe is the fifteenth highest rusher in the
- 1:19Speaker 1: in the league right now, most among all quarterbacks. Uh
- 1:23Speaker 1: so he certainly will give them problems. All right, A
- 1:26Speaker 1: A eight five, five to two nine seven is the
- 1:27Speaker 1: number to call. Let's get right to it. Let's go
- 1:29Speaker 1: to Daveyon in Illinois to start us off.
- 1:31Speaker 4: Davion was the quick my guy.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, wait, don't throw me off
- 1:38Speaker 1: here a little bit, all right? Yeah, and sorry the
- 1:41Speaker 1: other day we had to we had to rush and
- 1:43Speaker 1: get you off the phone. It was quick, so I
- 1:45Speaker 1: know we didn't get a chance to talk to you much.
- 1:47Speaker 4: So have at it today, no problem. I just want to,
- 1:52Speaker 4: you know, quick follow up. I mean, I know I
- 1:53Speaker 4: wanted to call back it and you had a thing
- 1:57Speaker 4: at a shot out of the day about JT. I
- 2:00Speaker 4: want to kind of just give what I was with
- 2:02Speaker 4: my perspective of why I feel about him. Honestly, I
- 2:05Speaker 4: think Jalen is a wide receiver. It's just all about
- 2:08Speaker 4: consistency at this point. I know Shotty. That's his biggest
- 2:11Speaker 4: thing is now they talk about stuff that we don't
- 2:15Speaker 4: get to see in the practice, but when we get
- 2:17Speaker 4: to Sunday. It's like he'll have a great catch, but
- 2:20Speaker 4: then he'll drop a ball or he do he'll blow
- 2:22Speaker 4: a block or stuffing like that. So my whole thing
- 2:25Speaker 4: in with him is, Okay, let's see what you got
- 2:27Speaker 4: this week. Because Herby might be down, Mingo might be
- 2:31Speaker 4: coming back, who knows, but it's gonna be South's gonna
- 2:34Speaker 4: be on GP, So it's gonna be on you to
- 2:37Speaker 4: do your job and Ferget do his job to get
- 2:39Speaker 4: open to help back out so we can move the
- 2:41Speaker 4: ball and try to go get this game, win this game,
- 2:44Speaker 4: and then we'll move on the next week. So that's
- 2:47Speaker 4: that's why I met with him.
- 2:48Speaker 5: I just.
- 2:50Speaker 4: I think we got a chance of a good chance
- 2:52Speaker 4: of winning this game. We just got to keep feels
- 2:54Speaker 4: in the pocket, as they all say, Wrestland checkerty and
- 2:57Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. I think we should win thirty.
- 3:03Speaker 4: We can really just shut them down defensively, I'd be great,
- 3:06Speaker 4: but I mean this oftense, they ain't have a one
- 3:08Speaker 4: weapon to get Wilson, so yeah, you can just get
- 3:11Speaker 4: him in the fields under control. I think we should be.
- 3:15Speaker 1: All right.
- 3:16Speaker 4: But also we got a space to night have been
- 3:18Speaker 4: by one jephone X. I've got a space to night
- 3:21Speaker 4: at ten o'clock.
- 3:23Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. I'm sure there'll be a lot
- 3:25Speaker 1: of people there, all right. You know, it'll be interesting
- 3:30Speaker 1: to see how the Jets handle, you know, the Cowboys
- 3:33Speaker 1: as far as trying to cover them. I've seen it,
- 3:36Speaker 1: you know, seen it done two or three different ways.
- 3:39Speaker 1: You can. You can take Sauce Gardner and just put
- 3:41Speaker 1: him on Pickings and let him follow him and and
- 3:44Speaker 1: just let him let him play that game. I feel like,
- 3:49Speaker 1: was it just the Jets a couple of years ago?
- 3:51Speaker 1: I feel I feel like this was the game that
- 3:54Speaker 1: that he doesn't travel. You guys would probably know this
- 3:57Speaker 1: better than me, but he doesn't travel, and I think
- 3:59Speaker 1: that someone that that was week two of the season
- 4:02Speaker 1: and the CD just torched him because he stays on
- 4:05Speaker 1: one side. So you know, you could do that. You
- 4:07Speaker 1: could or you could say he could travel and take
- 4:10Speaker 1: Jayalen Tolbert and then they kind of double Pickings, or
- 4:14Speaker 1: he could just play it straight out. But one way
- 4:16Speaker 1: or another, you have a great corner. You know, the
- 4:17Speaker 1: Jets should should figure out ways to use him a
- 4:20Speaker 1: right Greg, and Sacramento is next, Greg, what's up.
- 4:25Speaker 6: Good morning, Nick.
- 4:26Speaker 7: How are you doing good?
- 4:26Speaker 5: Good?
- 4:27Speaker 6: You good?
- 4:29Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 4:29Speaker 8: Benji over here with me?
- 4:31Speaker 1: What's up?
- 4:34Speaker 7: Uh?
- 4:35Speaker 8: I haven't been able to call in since the tie,
- 4:37Speaker 8: and I just man, I like, I for like the
- 4:43Speaker 8: first time of the season and forty hours lost right
- 4:46Speaker 8: and my brother I have three brothers that are all
- 4:48Speaker 8: forty out of fans. They're always talking trashy about the
- 4:50Speaker 8: Cowboys and they lost on Sunday. I was like, yes,
- 4:53Speaker 8: you know, baby, you know, maybe I'll be able to
- 4:55Speaker 8: talk to trash. And then of course right away after
- 4:58Speaker 8: the game, brothers I that didn't win, and I was like,
- 5:02Speaker 8: come on, man, can I just I just want one
- 5:05Speaker 8: opportunity to talk to trash.
- 5:07Speaker 9: These guys well, I don't know what to tell you.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, nobody can talk trash, do you?
- 5:15Speaker 1: And they you can't talk trash. It's just it's just
- 5:17Speaker 1: a tide.
- 5:17Speaker 8: It's like exactly exactly. So so I have a quick
- 5:22Speaker 8: question and then Benji actually has a good question as well.
- 5:25Speaker 8: Quick question is can we see more of Juanya Thomas?
- 5:28Speaker 10: Like I feel like every time he's in there, I
- 5:30Speaker 10: don't know, I.
- 5:30Speaker 8: Always see him make some kind of place. I believe
- 5:33Speaker 8: he was one of the ones behind that that block
- 5:35Speaker 8: and uh you know, the the extra point or field
- 5:38Speaker 8: goal block whatever it was at your points. So I
- 5:41Speaker 8: would like to see a little bit more of Jannia Thomas.
- 5:43Speaker 8: And then Benji has a question.
- 5:44Speaker 11: All right, I think you gotta speak.
- 5:53Speaker 12: Up like he talks like that, but ill couch.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Which one is beat her?
- 6:02Speaker 13: All right?
- 6:04Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well thanks thanks for the call, Greg
- 6:08Speaker 1: and Benji go Cowboys?
- 6:10Speaker 5: All right?
- 6:11Speaker 1: Uh yeah, got a loaded question. Which one's better, McCarthy
- 6:17Speaker 1: or set Hammer if that's if that's exactly what I heard.
- 6:22Speaker 1: McCarthy's he's been a better coach, he's won more games,
- 6:26Speaker 1: He's won more than one game. That's it's it's an
- 6:30Speaker 1: unfair question, really, just because it's just too early. Who's
- 6:34Speaker 1: who's a little bit more personal? Who's Who's who's more
- 6:37Speaker 1: fun to watch on press conferences? Yeah, Schottenheimer, you know,
- 6:40Speaker 1: he's kind of a cool guy. He walks around, you know,
- 6:43Speaker 1: he's got a little swag to him. That's not McCarthy's game.
- 6:46Speaker 1: But McCarthy's was a good coach. He's got this team
- 6:49Speaker 1: in the playoffs three years in a row, and and
- 6:52Speaker 1: and they won some games. So I mean, I'm not
- 6:54Speaker 1: gonna sit here and say that he wasn't successful. He
- 6:57Speaker 1: certainly was, you know, but it's too early to tell
- 7:02Speaker 1: on Schottenheimer. You know, I'll say this. If he is,
- 7:06Speaker 1: and if it ends up being where he's a better coach,
- 7:08Speaker 1: then I think that's good for the Cowboys as far
- 7:10Speaker 1: as you know, from success standpoint, because that means he's
- 7:13Speaker 1: gonna have him in the playoffs. He's gonna have him
- 7:14Speaker 1: winning games, being competitive, maybe goes further in the playoffs.
- 7:17Speaker 1: That's always That was the real knock on on McCarthy,
- 7:20Speaker 1: just that they got him to the playoffs, they didn't
- 7:22Speaker 1: go further. And then one Thomas. Yeah, I mean the
- 7:26Speaker 1: three big plays we've seen from one year Thomas blocked
- 7:30Speaker 1: extra point the other night that turned into two points,
- 7:32Speaker 1: blocked field goal against the Giants a couple of years
- 7:35Speaker 1: ago in that forty to nothing game. That was him.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I believe that that blocked it. He had the kick
- 7:41Speaker 1: return for a touchdown, which he shouldn't have scored, but
- 7:44Speaker 1: he did. So that one, that's, you know, the nice play.
- 7:49Speaker 1: He caught the the on side kick. That's what he's
- 7:51Speaker 1: supposed to be supposed to get down and he ended
- 7:53Speaker 1: up running it in for a touchdown, and you know
- 7:57Speaker 1: that could have been costly, but you know he still
- 8:01Speaker 1: made a play. But his plays that he's made his
- 8:03Speaker 1: own special teams. So we haven't really seen him at
- 8:06Speaker 1: safety so much, but you know, that's how it starts.
- 8:08Speaker 1: You make plays there and you go and you play
- 8:10Speaker 1: on well on defense. So let's see if he can
- 8:12Speaker 1: be that kind of guy. Let's go to Brian in
- 8:13Speaker 1: Kansas City's next.
- 8:14Speaker 13: Brian, good morning, sir, how are you I'm doing good man? Hey,
- 8:19Speaker 13: I forgot I sent in the answer to the fleet
- 8:22Speaker 13: Flicker question. I don't know if you ever saw it.
- 8:24Speaker 13: I knew when I sent it in because I put
- 8:26Speaker 13: a link in it to the show where I found
- 8:29Speaker 13: the information, and sometimes that stuff doesn't go through. You know,
- 8:33Speaker 13: your your systems will say, hey, that looks like spam.
- 8:36Speaker 13: But okay, well the answer is Bob Zupke. Zupke, I
- 8:41Speaker 13: don't know his name. Bob Zupke of the University of
- 8:45Speaker 13: Illinois Fighting ALNI is the one that created it. And
- 8:49Speaker 13: the answer to the to how it got its name
- 8:53Speaker 13: is this is a quote of what he said that
- 8:56Speaker 13: he wanted to evoke the quick flicking action of a
- 9:00Speaker 13: dog getting read of fleas.
- 9:02Speaker 6: Okay, so that's it.
- 9:04Speaker 13: That's that's the uh supposed And I found that in
- 9:08Speaker 13: multiple places. I looked, you know, I kind of acted
- 9:11Speaker 13: like I was a reporter for five minutes and said, okay,
- 9:13Speaker 13: I got to make sure I find this answer on Yeah,
- 9:17Speaker 13: three different sources. Anyway, that was the answer. I just
- 9:19Speaker 13: I forgot to mention it the other day and wanted
- 9:23Speaker 13: to make sure that. I couldn't remember even who asked
- 9:25Speaker 13: that question, but I remember somebody asking you last week.
- 9:28Speaker 1: All right, Well, I didn't know how it started. And
- 9:31Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of names. You don't
- 9:33Speaker 1: ever know how how they you know they originate. But yeah,
- 9:37Speaker 1: still it's a successful play, you know, and I don't
- 9:41Speaker 1: know why more teams don't use it. All right, Brian,
- 9:45Speaker 1: you good? You got anything else?
- 9:47Speaker 12: So you know what I just this week?
- 9:49Speaker 13: The linebackers we can't against the mobile court. You just
- 9:52Speaker 13: started to kind of alluded to it against the mobile quarterback.
- 9:56Speaker 13: We can't play the same linebackers against this guy. It's
- 10:00Speaker 13: just crazy. You know, what would be your answer? You know,
- 10:03Speaker 13: it sounds like you know, everybody's saying, hey, just put
- 10:06Speaker 13: the young guys in because they're faster, and if they
- 10:08Speaker 13: make mistakes, they make mistakes. You know, that's not how
- 10:11Speaker 13: coaches think though. Coaches always rely on the tried and true,
- 10:16Speaker 13: the proven, the guy that knows the system. You know,
- 10:19Speaker 13: that's just football coaches. But anyway, I'll hang up and
- 10:21Speaker 13: listen to what you think about it.
- 10:22Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I mean there's there's a lot more.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Brian. There's a lot more than
- 10:28Speaker 1: just you know, third and ten. Who's out there and
- 10:32Speaker 1: make sure that you can semi run with justin field
- 10:36Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, there's there's there's more to it
- 10:39Speaker 1: than that. And now your nickel linebackers you do have
- 10:42Speaker 1: more speed, but those aren't just the plays that break down.
- 10:45Speaker 1: It could be first and ten and then that's where
- 10:48Speaker 1: he's about to throw it and he takes off, and
- 10:51Speaker 1: so you got to have your linebackers that are best
- 10:54Speaker 1: for everything. And you know Samborn and Murray, I mean
- 10:56Speaker 1: they they haven't been dynamic. They are leading the team
- 11:00Speaker 1: in tackles. I mean they're getting in there and you're
- 11:02Speaker 1: not seeing that. You're not seeing a ton of running.
- 11:05Speaker 1: I mean, Jacobs had had a nice game for the Packers,
- 11:09Speaker 1: but I mean, for the most part, they did a
- 11:10Speaker 1: good job of stopping the run, So let's not forget
- 11:13Speaker 1: that part. That's a big part of it too. It's
- 11:15Speaker 1: not just about the pass. It's not just about the
- 11:17Speaker 1: quarterbacks running. Their job is to make sure the teams
- 11:20Speaker 1: aren't just running all over them, and you know, the
- 11:23Speaker 1: tackles are holding up and making sure those linebackers run
- 11:27Speaker 1: to the ball. So we've seen that, so you have
- 11:30Speaker 1: to remember it is what it is, and it hasn't
- 11:32Speaker 1: been terrible. There is you know, Leah f Aulis, Chamar
- 11:37Speaker 1: James he had. They're faster, but are they going to
- 11:40Speaker 1: be able to hold up? Are they going to be
- 11:41Speaker 1: able to get knocked off the ball? You know, we
- 11:43Speaker 1: saw Marquis Bell play sixteen seventeen games at you know,
- 11:48Speaker 1: at linebackers, you know, and he's really a safety, and
- 11:50Speaker 1: that didn't go well. He had over one hundred tackles,
- 11:53Speaker 1: but still when it was time to put a hat
- 11:55Speaker 1: on a hat, he got moved out of the way.
- 11:57Speaker 1: So there's more to it than that. They're going to
- 11:59Speaker 1: have to be either. The awareness has to be on point.
- 12:02Speaker 1: The corner safeties have to step up when when the
- 12:04Speaker 1: quarterback is running and you know, but you got to
- 12:07Speaker 1: put them in those third and long situations. And to
- 12:09Speaker 1: do that, the linebackers have to do their job when
- 12:11Speaker 1: it's when it's early running downs. All right, Shelby in
- 12:14Speaker 1: Virginia's next, Hey.
- 12:17Speaker 10: Good morning, Chris. How you doing or is not Chris?
- 12:19Speaker 13: Good morning?
- 12:19Speaker 5: Nick? How you doing good?
- 12:20Speaker 1: How are you?
- 12:22Speaker 14: I'm doing great.
- 12:22Speaker 10: I gotta tell you a really really fun experience listening
- 12:25Speaker 10: to your favorite four show on the way home from
- 12:27Speaker 10: work and hearing your dad's voice just pop up out
- 12:30Speaker 10: of nowhere, and then hearing you try to get his voice.
- 12:34Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, I me.
- 12:35Speaker 10: They recognized obviously, So that was a confused against fun experience, Reverend,
- 12:39Speaker 10: But I wanted to call in for a couple quick things.
- 12:42Speaker 10: I wanted to note that it does feel like we've
- 12:45Speaker 10: been playing to our opponents level for years, and we
- 12:49Speaker 10: we kind of nailed it with the Eagle, nailed it
- 12:50Speaker 10: with the Giants. I think we played to the Bears
- 12:54Speaker 10: level from last year, not this year, and that cost us.
- 12:58Speaker 10: And then with the Packers we finally did it.
- 13:00Speaker 14: After years of trying.
- 13:01Speaker 10: To play to the skill level of our opondent, we
- 13:03Speaker 10: finally mastered it. You can't get any closer from forty
- 13:07Speaker 10: to forty.
- 13:08Speaker 9: So it's a tough thing.
- 13:11Speaker 12: I did.
- 13:11Speaker 14: I have one more fun pack for in then.
- 13:13Speaker 10: I'll get off the line. After this Sunday, Dak and
- 13:18Speaker 10: Romo will have both played one hundred and twenty seven
- 13:20Speaker 10: regular season games. How far apart do you think they
- 13:24Speaker 10: are from having the same records?
- 13:28Speaker 1: Uh, this will be one twenty seven for Dak. Yes, yeah,
- 13:36Speaker 1: that's a good one.
- 13:36Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I would say probably, and I could do the math
- 13:40Speaker 1: in my head. It would sit there and be bad radio.
- 13:42Speaker 1: But I would say, I don't know, six games, five,
- 13:46Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 13:47Speaker 10: If the if the pass was caught the other day,
- 13:50Speaker 10: they would have the same record. If they beat the Jets,
- 13:53Speaker 10: they would have the an identical.
- 13:55Speaker 9: Regular season record after one hundred.
- 13:58Speaker 10: And twenty seven game.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Beach, what's the wins? What's the wins?
- 14:03Speaker 10: It's seventy seven wins and forty pulled up? Yeah, seventy
- 14:07Speaker 10: seven and for Dak in his seventy seven, forty eight
- 14:12Speaker 10: and one.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Mmm. Wow, that's the.
- 14:16Speaker 9: That's their career records.
- 14:17Speaker 10: Playoff records two and four for Romo, two and five
- 14:20Speaker 10: for that so pretty just I don't know just struck me.
- 14:23Speaker 9: Yeah, the same guy I have been.
- 14:25Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.
- 14:26Speaker 1: They have been for a while. All right, Shelby, thanks
- 14:30Speaker 1: for the call. I mean people people don't want to
- 14:33Speaker 1: say that because they're different personality wise, and they're different
- 14:37Speaker 1: you know, in the in the locker room. But you know,
- 14:41Speaker 1: if we're being really honest about the situation is you know,
- 14:46Speaker 1: it was easy to say, well, Dak was this guy
- 14:50Speaker 1: in the locker room and Romo was this guy. Well,
- 14:54Speaker 1: I mean Dak was twenty two, twenty three years old
- 14:57Speaker 1: and Romo was like thirty four. A little different scenario there,
- 15:02Speaker 1: because I trust me when I tell you and and
- 15:05Speaker 1: I and I was there. I lived it. I mean
- 15:08Speaker 1: Romo was in the locker room all the time. He
- 15:10Speaker 1: was the one cutting up, talking and everybody hanging out.
- 15:13Speaker 1: When he was young, not even playing started. I mean
- 15:15Speaker 1: he would sit on the couch and have a football
- 15:17Speaker 1: and throw it around to people. He would do all that.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I mean like that, that was Romo. And then when
- 15:22Speaker 1: when things changed, he got older and he and you know,
- 15:25Speaker 1: more time demands than you know, he was different. Now
- 15:27Speaker 1: I'll say this, Dak's still in there though, So Dak
- 15:30Speaker 1: does things differently. Now than Romo did. And and I'm
- 15:34Speaker 1: I'm not saying Dakdak is more of a player's teammate.
- 15:39Speaker 1: The offensive lineman said it the other day when we
- 15:42Speaker 1: did a documentary with him there. But as far as
- 15:44Speaker 1: them on the field, and their were accomplishments for this organization,
- 15:48Speaker 1: and they're they're very similar. And and it hasn't been
- 15:51Speaker 1: good enough. It's been good. It's been good. There's been
- 15:54Speaker 1: some times. I had some really good seasons close to
- 15:56Speaker 1: the m v P. What's second for Dak? Third? I
- 15:58Speaker 1: think for Romo one year. But you know it has
- 16:03Speaker 1: been good enough. When when it's time to actually go
- 16:05Speaker 1: win and advance in the playoffs, that hasn't. It didn't
- 16:08Speaker 1: work for whatever the reason. Weird plays here and Weird
- 16:11Speaker 1: play here, it didn't. It hasn't been there. So I
- 16:14Speaker 1: think those guys are pretty much the same when it
- 16:17Speaker 1: comes to what they've done on the field. All Right,
- 16:19Speaker 1: Cowboy Jeff is in Maryland. He's the next cowboy Jeff.
- 16:25Speaker 5: Nick.
- 16:25Speaker 14: Thanks for I am living the dream. How are you, sir?
- 16:28Speaker 5: Good? Good?
- 16:28Speaker 1: What's going on with you?
- 16:30Speaker 14: Oh no, I'm just I'm out in the fresh air,
- 16:33Speaker 14: just just loving life. And I can't believe I got in,
- 16:36Speaker 14: So I'm trud to be quick. So I know my
- 16:40Speaker 14: opinion doesn't matter, but I want to nominate Ali as
- 16:43Speaker 14: a captain because every time he calls I just it
- 16:47Speaker 14: makes my day. You know, It's it's he always one
- 16:50Speaker 14: time he said something crazy, but every other time it's
- 16:52Speaker 14: just like he just an Anthony Anthony in Miami. He
- 16:55Speaker 14: always makes he always cracks me up. And uh, and
- 16:58Speaker 14: they're usually very positive.
- 16:59Speaker 1: But uh, yeah.
- 17:01Speaker 14: Winn loser tie. I love be some cowboys. So now
- 17:05Speaker 14: we've both seen a tie. I've never seen one. They
- 17:07Speaker 14: last time they tied, I wasn't even born yet, but uh,
- 17:10Speaker 14: I've seen it all now. And so the question I
- 17:14Speaker 14: had was Nick Thomas. I guess he came in for
- 17:19Speaker 14: Tyler Geyiton because Tyler Guyden is in concussion. You know,
- 17:22Speaker 14: ye was injured. And how about didn't he come in
- 17:26Speaker 14: for Steel as well? And if so, why, Uh?
- 17:29Speaker 1: They just were rotating. They were just rotating, and I
- 17:32Speaker 1: mean it actually turned out to be a very good move. Now,
- 17:35Speaker 1: he did get a penalty that that cost him, but
- 17:38Speaker 1: but it was it was beneficial for him to get
- 17:41Speaker 1: out and play because basically the point was we're gonna
- 17:44Speaker 1: need them. We're gonna need these guys at some point.
- 17:46Speaker 1: So they put him in. They found an opportunity to
- 17:48Speaker 1: play him, they played him, and then later in the
- 17:50Speaker 1: game at left tackle, Geydon gets hurt, so he moves
- 17:52Speaker 1: over there and plays left tackle. And if you go
- 17:54Speaker 1: and look at some of the work that he did,
- 17:57Speaker 1: it's pretty good. I mean he was. Yeah, it was solid,
- 18:00Speaker 1: if not like good I left tackle, so right, Uh,
- 18:05Speaker 1: I got to give him credit. I mean there was
- 18:06Speaker 1: a couple of times and every snap I watched every
- 18:09Speaker 1: snap and he uh that he played him and there
- 18:11Speaker 1: was two or three times it was just straight one
- 18:13Speaker 1: on one with Micah and you know, he didn't make
- 18:16Speaker 1: the play, I mean obviously, so it.
- 18:19Speaker 5: Was good, yes, sir.
- 18:21Speaker 14: And the other thing was, yeah, just uh, we got
- 18:23Speaker 14: just lean up the uh knucklehead penalties. You know, we
- 18:26Speaker 14: you know, CD got a knucklehead and he's a captain
- 18:28Speaker 14: now he can't be doing that. And uh, you know,
- 18:32Speaker 14: people want Marison there, and I agree, he's going to
- 18:35Speaker 14: be a great player, but he's just got a you know,
- 18:37Speaker 14: the flag he got in the last game was one thing.
- 18:40Speaker 14: But if you remember the first game against Philadelphia. He
- 18:44Speaker 14: pulled that guy's helmet off. He got a flag. Now
- 18:47Speaker 14: it was a retaliation, it could have been a thing, right,
- 18:51Speaker 14: but you still you got to take Dax example and
- 18:55Speaker 14: then and not not react react like he did.
- 18:58Speaker 12: You know.
- 18:58Speaker 14: That's that's what Zach Dack did. He didn't react with
- 19:01Speaker 14: the guy spit on him.
- 19:03Speaker 9: He didn't spit back on him.
- 19:04Speaker 14: He just went to the reps and I'm kicked out
- 19:06Speaker 14: of the game. So yeah, anyway, go Cowboys, Thank you,
- 19:08Speaker 14: my friend, all.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Right, thank you.
- 19:11Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Maris like it's weird because he he it's like he
- 19:15Speaker 1: plays one hundred miles an hour and he needs to
- 19:18Speaker 1: play like eighty. You know, it's still fast, but a
- 19:23Speaker 1: little bit of control. And that's that's a tough thing
- 19:25Speaker 1: to do for young players, for any player really, it's
- 19:29Speaker 1: to figure out how to just stay under control a
- 19:33Speaker 1: little bit more. Because I've seen some plays where he also,
- 19:36Speaker 1: you know, just he's just going so fast he misses
- 19:39Speaker 1: the guy. You know, you see it all the time,
- 19:41Speaker 1: like on a punt and he doesn't play gunner. I'm
- 19:43Speaker 1: just this is my example, but you see it when
- 19:45Speaker 1: there's a punt, it's about a fifty sixty yard punt
- 19:48Speaker 1: and there's the gunner flying you know fast, CJ. Goodwin
- 19:51Speaker 1: or whatever, is just going at full speed and the
- 19:53Speaker 1: guy catches it. That guy hardly ever makes the play
- 19:56Speaker 1: because you're just not You're just going so fast. And
- 19:59Speaker 1: then as soon as the guy starts to move in
- 20:01Speaker 1: like there's no way you can break down enough. But
- 20:03Speaker 1: that's that's what the great ones do. They figure out
- 20:06Speaker 1: how to just break down just enough to get under
- 20:10Speaker 1: their body, under control where they can go make the play.
- 20:12Speaker 1: And that's where I think Lea Fal's next thing that
- 20:15Speaker 1: he's got to do to get better. All right, let's
- 20:17Speaker 1: go to break real quick on Cowboys storyline. I'll be

- 22:17Speaker 1: Back here on Cowboys storyline, our last caller, Cowboy Jeffy.
- 22:21Speaker 1: He was proposing for maybe a new captain, an additional
- 22:25Speaker 1: captain and Ali, which you know what, I don't have
- 22:30Speaker 1: any any problems with that because you know, to keep
- 22:33Speaker 1: adding captains though you know not just like on the game,
- 22:36Speaker 1: not everybody can go out to the field. I think
- 22:38Speaker 1: that the league actually says that there has to be five.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I believe is the is the limit there? So we
- 22:46Speaker 1: have four captains on all storyline team. And if you're
- 22:49Speaker 1: going to keep adding captains, you might have to take
- 22:51Speaker 1: one away. I don't know. But let's let's ask one
- 22:53Speaker 1: of the current captains and what they think about. This
- 22:56Speaker 1: is Irene falls Church, Virginia. She's a cap what do
- 23:00Speaker 1: you what do you think about adding captains?
- 23:02Speaker 7: Good morning? Oh man?
- 23:04Speaker 17: Well, I mean I'll leave awesome.
- 23:05Speaker 7: So I'm not going to say no to that. I assume, yeah,
- 23:09Speaker 7: at some point you have to have a captain. I
- 23:11Speaker 7: don't know what that cap is.
- 23:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, wouldn't that be a sad thing? Honestly,
- 23:18Speaker 1: Like I haven't even really thought of it from that standpoint,
- 23:20Speaker 1: but I mean it would it be sad if you're like, Okay,
- 23:23Speaker 1: well this year you made the team, you know, but
- 23:25Speaker 1: you're not a captain anymore. I mean, I don't know.
- 23:27Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
- 23:29Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, yeah, we got.
- 23:31Speaker 7: To keep it up.
- 23:32Speaker 17: You know, it's competition, right every day.
- 23:36Speaker 1: You're one of them. Dylan and Rob, you guys are
- 23:39Speaker 1: three that call all the time. Randy's also a captain.
- 23:42Speaker 1: He didn't get to call as much. I think we
- 23:44Speaker 1: know the reason for that. I can just tell you
- 23:45Speaker 1: right now. I'm not taking him off the captain list,
- 23:48Speaker 1: so uh no, thanks. So I don't know, we'll see,
- 23:51Speaker 1: maybe we will add one this year. Who knows, who
- 23:54Speaker 1: knows what happens.
- 23:55Speaker 17: Don't take me off, no, I like, hey, I like
- 23:57Speaker 17: the blind guessing. Yesterday I was like, I think you
- 24:00Speaker 17: know my voice.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Yeah I would I would have got that. I would
- 24:05Speaker 1: have got that one.
- 24:08Speaker 17: Oh yeah, yeah, I was some of it. I'm like, oh,
- 24:11Speaker 17: you know that, Dylan. I was like, how do you
- 24:13Speaker 17: not know Dylan? Immediately?
- 24:14Speaker 1: It just got it. Yeah, it just took me a second.
- 24:16Speaker 1: And it didn't it didn't hit right away, but yeah,
- 24:18Speaker 1: it took me a second.
- 24:20Speaker 12: Yep.
- 24:21Speaker 7: So for this game, uh, you know.
- 24:23Speaker 17: My two big concerns are, of course, just in field's
- 24:26Speaker 17: running since we made Russell Wilson look like he was
- 24:30Speaker 17: a rookie or in.
- 24:32Speaker 7: His prime, and everybody seems to be able to run
- 24:35Speaker 7: on us, but.
- 24:37Speaker 10: Quarterback West.
- 24:38Speaker 7: The other one though, is Garrett Wilson. I'm lucky enough
- 24:41Speaker 7: to have him on my fantasy team and he makes
- 24:44Speaker 7: some really nice draft touchdown drafts. Usually when we were
- 24:49Speaker 7: free draft and they were talking about trade rumors, that
- 24:52Speaker 7: was my number one happy with Dickens, very happy with Dickens.
- 24:56Speaker 7: That wasn't the time, but Garrett Wilson was my number
- 24:59Speaker 7: one guy. So I think that it's gonna be tough
- 25:00Speaker 7: with how our secondary is in playing. I think it's
- 25:04Speaker 7: gonna come down to pressure. I know they don't have
- 25:06Speaker 7: Braylan Allen, so that's good. They still have a great runner,
- 25:09Speaker 7: but he sees a good change of base back so
- 25:12Speaker 7: I think think that's somewhat significant. I will I'll take
- 25:17Speaker 7: I'll take Dallas in this like thirty one twenty seven.
- 25:20Speaker 7: I don't think it's gonna be you know, easy at all,
- 25:24Speaker 7: because they've been in all their games, as you said, yeah,
- 25:28Speaker 7: one question for you, and I don't I don't know
- 25:30Speaker 7: that it's we're gonna actually experience this. But if all
- 25:33Speaker 7: of these linemen are out, I think Giton and Smith
- 25:37Speaker 7: won't be. But if they were, who is our best
- 25:40Speaker 7: replacement for guard? Does Kate Thomas have position flex or
- 25:44Speaker 7: would we be moving steel or or am I dismissing
- 25:47Speaker 7: a backup guard?
- 25:48Speaker 17: And that's I'll take that.
- 25:49Speaker 5: Off their all right?
- 25:51Speaker 1: Good stuff? Oh making them pull out the roster here,
- 25:54Speaker 1: I mean, so yeah, it's gonna be. There'd be some
- 25:59Speaker 1: move been around, uh for sure. Uh. I mean because
- 26:03Speaker 1: you see Trevor Keegan is is a center. Uh, he's
- 26:07Speaker 1: played some guard in there as well. I'm looking at
- 26:09Speaker 1: the practice squad because I mean it changes all the time.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I didn't I guess I didn't remember that Wesley French
- 26:16Speaker 1: is actually on the team. As as far as that goes,
- 26:18Speaker 1: a drawn Christian's a tackle that they could move up there. Uh,
- 26:21Speaker 1: Johnny Cornelius as well. They they I feel like I'll
- 26:28Speaker 1: be I'll be honest, I don't. I don't know for
- 26:29Speaker 1: sure about Tyler Smith, he said that, you know, he's
- 26:32Speaker 1: not sure he could play. Uh, we'll see about that one.
- 26:35Speaker 1: That today is a huge day as far as some
- 26:37Speaker 1: of those guys injury wise, and also Guidon. If Guidon
- 26:41Speaker 1: isn't isn't kind of doing some some things and kind
- 26:43Speaker 1: of out of the protocol and and playing so well,
- 26:46Speaker 1: we'll we'll see. That's a great question. There's a lot
- 26:48Speaker 1: of moving parts there. You can always kind of tell
- 26:52Speaker 1: based off off they bring guys in and they signed guys.
- 26:55Speaker 1: There's there's certainly a plan in place. You know, could
- 27:00Speaker 1: be a scenario. Maybe I'm just throwing this out there.
- 27:03Speaker 1: Trevor Keegan is a center. He could be the center.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Hoffmin and Baske could be your guards. Just kind of
- 27:09Speaker 1: depends on who does what. I'm not really big on
- 27:11Speaker 1: changing the center again, he's already already changed at once.
- 27:15Speaker 1: I think it's working well with Hoffman, but you got
- 27:18Speaker 1: to get your best guys out there, so that that
- 27:20Speaker 1: might be the best option there.
- 27:23Speaker 13: You know.
- 27:24Speaker 1: Quinn Williams is sitting there just looking his chops ready
- 27:26Speaker 1: to go. So whatever do they, whatever they do, they
- 27:29Speaker 1: gotta be ready. Leicester or Minnesota is next morning, next morning.
- 27:34Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 27:36Speaker 9: I'm doing good?
- 27:37Speaker 4: How you doing that good?
- 27:39Speaker 9: He shout out to Irene and all the captains and
- 27:43Speaker 9: to the captain questions, if you don't want to remove
- 27:48Speaker 9: anyone or add anyone, just make Ali Ah co captains.
- 27:53Speaker 9: I would go with that. I think he's a great guy.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Wait, you're saying there might be a tie like for captains,
- 28:00Speaker 1: like we actually have a tie.
- 28:02Speaker 9: No like like like assistant coach, coach, assistant coach, assistant captain,
- 28:07Speaker 9: and I just say coach, I should say assistant captain.
- 28:10Speaker 9: I guess. But the reason for my call is that
- 28:18Speaker 9: I know we talked about a month ago about me,
- 28:23Speaker 9: and I explained to you that I was a salesperson
- 28:27Speaker 9: and uh, and I became the number one salesperson in
- 28:31Speaker 9: the country. We had about one hundred stores. So out
- 28:34Speaker 9: of one hundred stores, anyway, it was I had more
- 28:41Speaker 9: than one different no manager. So this under this particular manager,
- 28:46Speaker 9: I was able to become that top sales person. But
- 28:49Speaker 9: then when management switched, I was still the very good salesperson,
- 28:53Speaker 9: but I wasn't number one or number two or top ten.
- 28:57Speaker 9: I was, but I was still very good. My point,
- 29:00Speaker 9: I know making is that I was watching Girls Talk,
- 29:03Speaker 9: Boys talk this morning and they were talking about how
- 29:07Speaker 9: and I thought this as well, but I wasn't sure
- 29:10Speaker 9: until they confirmed it. How we have a lot of
- 29:13Speaker 9: man corners in our defense, but we got them play zone.
- 29:18Speaker 9: So yeah, I'm sure they can adjust to it, but
- 29:21Speaker 9: that's not their strength. So I just feel like, I
- 29:25Speaker 9: know Evil Flus is a zone guy, but I just
- 29:28Speaker 9: feel like maybe we should just mix it up a
- 29:30Speaker 9: little bit to bring out the best. I mean, like
- 29:33Speaker 9: I told you a long time ago, I played cornerback
- 29:35Speaker 9: in college, so I do understand the difference between a
- 29:38Speaker 9: man and zone. I understand the concepts somewhat. So I
- 29:42Speaker 9: just feel like we should just mix it up a
- 29:44Speaker 9: little bit. I mean, we don't expect Evil Fus to
- 29:46Speaker 9: be a man, you know, defensive coordinator either, you know,
- 29:50Speaker 9: so I understand all that, But which is just mix
- 29:52Speaker 9: it up a little bit so we can bring out
- 29:54Speaker 9: the best. Yeah, and I also think we need a
- 30:00Speaker 9: a smart, fast middle linebacker man, and I think our
- 30:05Speaker 9: linebackers are good, but I think we need a smart,
- 30:08Speaker 9: fast one because the one guy should get his name now,
- 30:15Speaker 9: but he's kind of slow. He's good, he can hit,
- 30:18Speaker 9: but he's kind of slow.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Man.
- 30:22Speaker 9: Yeah, Samborne, Yeah that's him.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, yeah, there's no doubt about it. The linebackers
- 30:28Speaker 1: need to be better and we've we've seen that, whether
- 30:31Speaker 1: it be going up against the run. Thanks for the call, Lester,
- 30:33Speaker 1: we we we've seen that. You know through four games.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Four games is enough sample sizing my opinion, to kind
- 30:40Speaker 1: of see what what we've got. It's just it's not
- 30:43Speaker 1: to the level that it that it needs to be,
- 30:46Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's costing them games because you know,
- 30:49Speaker 1: the middle just is it just gives up too many
- 30:53Speaker 1: plays and that's where you have to be super solid
- 30:56Speaker 1: on the back end. Obviously he's given up some. I
- 30:58Speaker 1: mean that they all have to me. It kind of
- 31:01Speaker 1: goes from you know, the the front's been okay against
- 31:05Speaker 1: the run, but it's not getting it's not getting home,
- 31:08Speaker 1: and so, uh, these linebackers need something special around them.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Then that we knew that going in they needed a
- 31:15Speaker 1: pass rush that was dynamic with the Micah Parsons or
- 31:18Speaker 1: whatever to just get home. Or they need the back
- 31:21Speaker 1: end safety corners to be elite, and that's not the case.
- 31:25Speaker 1: So therefore, I think that's what we're seeing the linebacker
- 31:27Speaker 1: struggle a little bit more. All right, Robbie and Coco
- 31:31Speaker 1: Beach is next.
- 31:32Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, how are you today?
- 31:34Speaker 1: They're good? Are you?
- 31:35Speaker 11: I'm good. I haven't talked to you in a while.
- 31:37Speaker 11: So I got a couple of things. I hope that's
- 31:38Speaker 11: all right. I'll try to make it quick, all right.
- 31:41Speaker 11: Number one, that stupid time. I hated it, and it
- 31:45Speaker 11: really reminded me of a game in twenty twelve. No,
- 31:49Speaker 11: I had to be thirteen November Tony Romo versus the
- 31:53Speaker 11: Broncos Faith Manning. Yeah, hotly crap man at least. I mean,
- 31:57Speaker 11: I hated losing that obviously, But Tony Roman has never
- 32:01Speaker 11: played a better game in his life and we still lost.
- 32:03Speaker 11: It was a shame. Yeah, you know, one pick. It
- 32:05Speaker 11: was a horrible pick because it got tip that a
- 32:08Speaker 11: witting fans. It never happened, but whatever. That was kind
- 32:11Speaker 11: of the epitome of Tony's career too, though, wasn't it.
- 32:14Speaker 11: He was a great quarterback and it never Yeah, had
- 32:18Speaker 11: enough to win everything up.
- 32:19Speaker 1: That's kind of I mean, yeah, you have a great
- 32:22Speaker 1: game and then you end up losing because you make
- 32:25Speaker 1: a bad play. I mean like the Seattle playoff game.
- 32:27Speaker 1: You know, he was he was winning that game and
- 32:29Speaker 1: then he as a holder, he drops the ball.
- 32:32Speaker 11: You know, Yep, I don't know. I still think that
- 32:35Speaker 11: he made the first down though from where that first
- 32:37Speaker 11: down marker was originally was at the three, and when
- 32:40Speaker 11: he ran he went to the two. Yeah, I don't know.
- 32:45Speaker 11: It was close, but they never gave him the first down.
- 32:47Speaker 11: They just said it was the field good or the
- 32:48Speaker 11: act one was no good.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think it was Babino. I think
- 32:53Speaker 1: he got him short. There's a lot of ways to
- 32:57Speaker 1: argue that, though. There's a lot of weird things that happened.
- 33:00Speaker 1: I think Winton got the first down on the catch
- 33:02Speaker 1: before all that, I think, yeah, that changed everything. And
- 33:05Speaker 1: then obviously the way you know, I've told the story
- 33:08Speaker 1: many times of how the ball boys won the game.
- 33:10Speaker 1: The ball boy actually threw out a ball that had
- 33:13Speaker 1: not been used and took it out of the bag,
- 33:15Speaker 1: not even scuffed, and that's shiny and slippery. It was
- 33:19Speaker 1: uh and that won the game for him, and they've
- 33:21Speaker 1: changed the rules since then that now, Uh, it's it's
- 33:24Speaker 1: a neutral person that you don't just have a Seattle
- 33:26Speaker 1: ball ball boys running around. It's a neutral person that
- 33:31Speaker 1: has all the handles the kicking balls. So because of
- 33:34Speaker 1: that game, right, and.
- 33:35Speaker 11: They only get five that they can work and scuff
- 33:38Speaker 11: up and such. Right, Yeah, I think that's what is Yeah,
- 33:40Speaker 11: all right, okay, next, I can't I've been paying attention,
- 33:45Speaker 11: but I have just the first time I heard was
- 33:47Speaker 11: the last on when you were talking about red about
- 33:49Speaker 11: uh salar or Smith getting hurt. Yeah, that's scary. I'm
- 33:53Speaker 11: not happy that that.
- 33:55Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't be either.
- 33:57Speaker 5: Holy crap.
- 33:58Speaker 11: I thought we were, you know we were. I don't
- 34:00Speaker 11: know that may be on this up the man. You
- 34:01Speaker 11: know me, I've always got the glass at full. But
- 34:03Speaker 11: we and I'm Watson and I love my team, and
- 34:07Speaker 11: I don't know. Man, it's it's a rough year this year.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean when you have five linemen, three of
- 34:12Speaker 1: them are named Tyler, and none of them are playing,
- 34:15Speaker 1: that's not good. And so that's not good at all.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Not one of the Tylers practiced yesterday. One of them
- 34:21Speaker 1: for sure is not playing in Booker. I'll be I
- 34:25Speaker 1: won't know about guiding playing, we'll see and then right now,
- 34:27Speaker 1: Tyler Smith's definitely up in the air, so yeah, oh lord,
- 34:31Speaker 1: not good, all.
- 34:32Speaker 11: Right, and the last one I'll take off there. And
- 34:34Speaker 11: I appreciate you letting me be long winded because I
- 34:36Speaker 11: ever had them. All right, But the while, I heard
- 34:39Speaker 11: a rumor today on one of the many different outlets
- 34:43Speaker 11: about Trayvon Diggs maybe being traded. I know you can't
- 34:46Speaker 11: talk about specific players, but his response, because I guess
- 34:52Speaker 11: he actually responded, was well, I leave Blu and Silver
- 34:55Speaker 11: and I will love being at I don't want to
- 34:57Speaker 11: go anywhere. Do you think there's any validity to it?
- 35:00Speaker 11: Do you think the Cowboys would trade him? I mean,
- 35:02Speaker 11: is he that unlike now? Well, and I'll take that answer.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Well, I mean we we've seen now and and you know,
- 35:14Speaker 1: everything is on the table pun intended. So we've seen
- 35:19Speaker 1: Michael Parsons get traded. He's the best football player on
- 35:22Speaker 1: the team and probably one of the top five players
- 35:25Speaker 1: overall in the league. Uh, and he got traded. So
- 35:29Speaker 1: it was obviously more than just football and his contract
- 35:31Speaker 1: related and all that kind of stuff, but also just
- 35:33Speaker 1: the way you handle yourself and yeah, things haven't been.
- 35:36Speaker 1: It's not it's not a it's a rocky situation obviously,
- 35:40Speaker 1: but between Digs and and and the Cowboys. But uh,
- 35:43Speaker 1: you know, they they sat him down. They they you know,
- 35:46Speaker 1: everyone says it all the time. I want to coach
- 35:48Speaker 1: to hold hold the players accountable. Well he did, he did.
- 35:51Speaker 1: He didn't like the way Diggs was was playing and
- 35:54Speaker 1: conducting himself, playing kind of freelancing, and so they they
- 35:58Speaker 1: held him out and it and as Digs said it yesterday,
- 36:01Speaker 1: is it was a rough week for him. He comes back,
- 36:04Speaker 1: he plays, he plays pretty good. My thought is is
- 36:09Speaker 1: who else? Who else you have at corner? And if
- 36:12Speaker 1: you don't like the way he's playing, that's one thing.
- 36:16Speaker 1: But you got the worst pass defense by far in
- 36:19Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, by far, the second Worsts averaging
- 36:22Speaker 1: two sixty five a game. The Cowboys are worth at
- 36:24Speaker 1: two ninety seven a game. I mean, it's not even close.
- 36:28Speaker 1: So if it's not working out and Diggs is doing
- 36:31Speaker 1: his different things, I mean, I'm not saying players run
- 36:35Speaker 1: the show here, but if the scheme isn't working and
- 36:37Speaker 1: you've got a Pro Bowl, All Pro player over here,
- 36:42Speaker 1: that does it a different way. I don't know I
- 36:45Speaker 1: would try to go that route because it's not like
- 36:47Speaker 1: what you're doing is working. So anyways, look, got a
- 36:49Speaker 1: break real quick on Storyline'd be right back after this.

- 38:20Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. We got hawf He's in
- 38:22Speaker 1: the Bay.
- 38:24Speaker 6: Yes, sir, half from the Bay. Danny, you know out
- 38:27Speaker 6: here fighting the forty nine has still got the Cowboy flag? Client.
- 38:30Speaker 6: How you doing this?
- 38:31Speaker 1: I'm good? Good? How are you doing?
- 38:33Speaker 6: I'm good, I'm good. I feel good about the game
- 38:35Speaker 6: going into this week. I wasn't worried about Green bayby
- 38:38Speaker 6: because I felt like we were going to rise to
- 38:40Speaker 6: the occasion. Now we tied it. But I was always
- 38:43Speaker 6: looking for a win. But I was more worried about
- 38:46Speaker 6: teams like Chicago and the Jets in Carolina. Those the
- 38:52Speaker 6: teams that be creeping up on us. But my courtion
- 38:55Speaker 6: was for you. I was looking at that secondary and
- 38:58Speaker 6: I've been looking at it, and man, that made me
- 39:00Speaker 6: think about when we had Charlie Waters and how valuable
- 39:04Speaker 6: Charlie Waters was with Hollywood Henderson and all those guys.
- 39:08Speaker 6: They say, he would always like a quarterback out there.
- 39:11Speaker 6: He would always position everybody get him lining up. And
- 39:14Speaker 6: that didn't nobody seem lost even did they know what
- 39:17Speaker 6: they were doing. And I was wondering, who did we have?
- 39:20Speaker 6: And I was gonna ask you do we are we
- 39:22Speaker 6: missing Jordan Lewis because he was a smart guy.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Yeah, no, and he was tough and he was he
- 39:28Speaker 1: was a great slot corner. Yeah, they're missing him. They're
- 39:31Speaker 1: missing him big time.
- 39:33Speaker 6: And I was and I was thinking, I said, man,
- 39:35Speaker 6: if we had him, we probably even wouldn't be I
- 39:38Speaker 6: know what it should have could have if we had him,
- 39:40Speaker 6: I don't think. And he was humble enough to show
- 39:42Speaker 6: the players. Yeah, they kind of guided him. And I
- 39:46Speaker 6: thought and I thought, I said, man, we might be
- 39:48Speaker 6: missing more Jordan Lewis more than we missing Michael the
- 39:51Speaker 6: way that secondary is looking.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Yeah, well, don't don't think that they're not married to
- 39:56Speaker 1: each other. Those two situations. I mean, you know, when
- 39:59Speaker 1: when it was time to make decisions, you are gonna
- 40:02Speaker 1: pay Micah. You have to pay Micah, Like he's gonna
- 40:05Speaker 1: get this deal. They've already offered it to him. Uh,
- 40:07Speaker 1: he hasn't signed it yet, but he's obviously going to
- 40:09Speaker 1: sign it, right Yeah. No, But but that's that's the
- 40:13Speaker 1: problem about that, That whole that whole situation kind of
- 40:16Speaker 1: held him hostage. And do you think maybe they would consider
- 40:19Speaker 1: re signing to Marcus Lawrence if they would have known
- 40:22Speaker 1: that that that thing?
- 40:23Speaker 6: So, I mean, oh yeah, yeah.
- 40:25Speaker 1: So now I don't know if ten million a year
- 40:28Speaker 1: for for Jordan Lewis was was ever going to be
- 40:31Speaker 1: something they would consider. That was just like, hey, you
- 40:33Speaker 1: can't pay them all, great contract, go get it, go
- 40:35Speaker 1: earn it. But you know, if you didn't, if you
- 40:40Speaker 1: knew you weren't gonna have Micah, it would have changed
- 40:42Speaker 1: a lot of things. I bet you they would have
- 40:43Speaker 1: had a couple of those free agents, and Jordan could
- 40:45Speaker 1: have been one of them.
- 40:46Speaker 6: But that's my point, that's exactly what I was thinking, you.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Know, yeah, yeah, well, and but you're right, they absolutely
- 40:53Speaker 1: miss him. They missed they not only how smart he is,
- 40:56Speaker 1: he was a smart player, He was tough, He didn't
- 40:58Speaker 1: he did whatever his size was, whatever he played way
- 41:02Speaker 1: bigger than that. He was the dog mentality that they
- 41:05Speaker 1: need and they miss and yeah they they certain, Yeah.
- 41:08Speaker 6: I little watch that guy player. But I just want
- 41:11Speaker 6: to ask you was up. I'm sitting up here thinking
- 41:13Speaker 6: wrong when I'm like, man, we had Jeorge Lewis, I
- 41:17Speaker 6: don't think we'd be going through this outfield on that field.
- 41:19Speaker 6: You know, I.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Agree, I totally agree with that. That's a good call.
- 41:23Speaker 6: All right, thanks for taking the call.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Thank you, haf all right, I'll fight those forty nine
- 41:27Speaker 1: er fans out there in the bay, all right.
- 41:29Speaker 17: Uh.
- 41:29Speaker 1: I don't know if JR and Arizona has the same
- 41:32Speaker 1: issue with the Cardinal fans. Maybe JR.
- 41:34Speaker 5: What's up?
- 41:36Speaker 12: Hey, good morning, neck, how's it going. No, I'm a
- 41:38Speaker 12: long time I actually have a long time cowboy or
- 41:43Speaker 12: a Cardinals dislike her, So it's no like Cardinals or
- 41:46Speaker 12: other fans just like But anyway, I said, it's gonna
- 41:51Speaker 12: take probably four games for the defense to actually start
- 41:55Speaker 12: to click, and I think we saw a little bit
- 41:58Speaker 12: of that last week. It's hard to say that when
- 42:00Speaker 12: they gave up forty points. But I think Bland's gonna
- 42:03Speaker 12: play a lot more this week, and Bland's gonna play
- 42:07Speaker 12: better this week, and I you know Diggs. Diggs one
- 42:10Speaker 12: of my favorite players, and I think you kind of
- 42:13Speaker 12: saw him to start to click. I mean, he missed
- 42:17Speaker 12: some tackles, but he is flying around and he did
- 42:20Speaker 12: it's a great move to get the pick that we
- 42:22Speaker 12: got called back on that ridiculous penalty. But I think
- 42:25Speaker 12: you start to see this defense get it together a
- 42:28Speaker 12: little bit, especially in the defensive backfield. I'd like to
- 42:32Speaker 12: see Reddy Stewart out there more than than Elam because
- 42:36Speaker 12: I think I think Reddy Stewart has played really well
- 42:38Speaker 12: so far this year. I like to see him, like
- 42:42Speaker 12: to see him more, and I think that you saw
- 42:45Speaker 12: some more out of the pass rush getting closer as
- 42:48Speaker 12: a rocker. I think it's his first sack this week,
- 42:51Speaker 12: and I think they're gonna rattle Field because he makes
- 42:54Speaker 12: a lot of mistakes, especially because I think the offense
- 42:57Speaker 12: is going to keep rolling and they're gonna gets one dimensional.
- 43:03Speaker 12: And I think the Cowboys are going to win this
- 43:04Speaker 12: game by more than people seeing. I think this is
- 43:07Speaker 12: going to be beginning for a run that we're going
- 43:10Speaker 12: to go on. So that's really all I got and
- 43:15Speaker 12: that's just what I think all Rob's going to score
- 43:18Speaker 12: a lot of points and Shield is gonna make mistakes.
- 43:20Speaker 12: I'll say Big gets his first interception, and one of
- 43:23Speaker 12: the linebackers is going to get a picked this week
- 43:25Speaker 12: as well.
- 43:26Speaker 1: All Right, I like it sure would be good for them,
- 43:29Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Jr. Would be great for Diggs
- 43:32Speaker 1: as well. You know one of my favorite I'm I'm
- 43:35Speaker 1: a sucker for those sports movies, you know, the the ones,
- 43:40Speaker 1: remember the Titans and Glory Road and things that you
- 43:44Speaker 1: know that start slow and in great and Glory Road
- 43:48Speaker 1: is a is a movie that I think is great
- 43:50Speaker 1: about the Texas Western basketball team from the sixties. But
- 43:55Speaker 1: but one of the there's a line in there that
- 43:58Speaker 1: the coach says to the player, the star point guard
- 44:02Speaker 1: and his name is Bobby Joe Hill, and there's a
- 44:04Speaker 1: line in there because he wants to play this up
- 44:06Speaker 1: up tempo, fast paced hop style, and the coach wants
- 44:09Speaker 1: to play a little bit more controlled, you know, but
- 44:12Speaker 1: be smart with it. And he says, all right, you
- 44:15Speaker 1: want to play your way, you play your way, and
- 44:18Speaker 1: you play my way. You play your game and my
- 44:21Speaker 1: game at the same time. And that's what I think
- 44:23Speaker 1: about with Diggs. That's what I think the coaches have
- 44:26Speaker 1: to figure out with Digs or the corners, whatever. Let's
- 44:30Speaker 1: let's what is his style, what's made him a great player.
- 44:33Speaker 1: Let's let's work that into your system. Figure out a
- 44:36Speaker 1: way to do both. Both things can be right. Let's
- 44:40Speaker 1: let's give and take. You want to play a little
- 44:41Speaker 1: bit more, man, that's fine. We're gonna do it like this.
- 44:44Speaker 1: You'll play some zone concepts at times. There are times
- 44:46Speaker 1: you're gonna play this. We're gonna go back and forth.
- 44:48Speaker 1: Let's do your game and my game at the same time.
- 44:51Speaker 1: I think there's a way to do that. And I think,
- 44:53Speaker 1: you know, especially with how good Digs has been, especially
- 44:56Speaker 1: the offense of the defense struggling like it has, why
- 44:59Speaker 1: not why not mix it up a little bit? Chris
- 45:02Speaker 1: and san Angele will be our last caller.
- 45:04Speaker 5: Chris, what's up, mister Nick? How you doing today? My friend? Good?
- 45:07Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 45:08Speaker 5: I'm doing well? Thanks for asking. My question is I
- 45:12Speaker 5: have a question, and I was going to give you
- 45:13Speaker 5: a score. My question is a little It's like irenes
- 45:17Speaker 5: accept different positions now at wide receiver, obviously we have
- 45:22Speaker 5: Pickens and Tolbert, but in the event that Turpin can't go.
- 45:30Speaker 5: I'm wondering who you think, like, who would you know?
- 45:33Speaker 5: You have to have an opportunity to be able to
- 45:36Speaker 5: be the one to step up. So who do you
- 45:38Speaker 5: think would be the one that the Cowboys would be
- 45:41Speaker 5: given the biggest opportunity as the at the third?
- 45:46Speaker 1: You know the way he played the other night, Flinoy,
- 45:50Speaker 1: I mean, he showed me more speed than I've seen
- 45:54Speaker 1: in the two years or so he's been here. I
- 45:57Speaker 1: didn't think he had that kind of speed from our
- 46:00Speaker 1: view in the press box which is up there. Pretty good.
- 46:02Speaker 1: He was flying on a couple of plays that I
- 46:05Speaker 1: was like. It was one on a kickoff where I
- 46:07Speaker 1: was like, who he was trying to get a guy
- 46:10Speaker 1: before he went to the sideline and you just saw
- 46:12Speaker 1: that him makeup speed was outstanding. And then on a reverse.
- 46:16Speaker 1: He actually has a lot more speed than I thought,
- 46:19Speaker 1: and they're utilizing him more. I would think he gets
- 46:22Speaker 1: some reps. We'll see if Mingo can play. Mingo might
- 46:26Speaker 1: be a guy which you have to create a roster
- 46:28Speaker 1: spot for him, which which I'm sure they could do.
- 46:30Speaker 1: But Flinoy, I think is going to get some opportunities.
- 46:33Speaker 5: Nice. We're thinking a lot on that one, brother, good,
- 46:36Speaker 5: and then I will say that my score, my score
- 46:40Speaker 5: was actually the same as Irene. So what I'm gonna
- 46:42Speaker 5: do is, I'm gonna give each each team one more
- 46:46Speaker 5: and I'm going to say thirty two to twenty eight.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Thirty two twenty eight. Yeah, Cowboys Falcons nineteen ninety six.
- 46:54Speaker 1: I think, Oh.
- 46:56Speaker 5: That's see, that's exactly what I was thinking of when.
- 46:58Speaker 1: I said, does that was that the score? I think,
- 47:02Speaker 1: so I'll look at it. I think, all right.
- 47:05Speaker 5: Okay, buddy, you have an awesome rest of your day.
- 47:07Speaker 1: All right, you too, Thank you so much, and thanks
- 47:09Speaker 1: to everybody for calling in today. Good show. Guys. We
- 47:13Speaker 1: didn't have a first time calling, but we had a
- 47:15Speaker 1: first time in a long time. Uh callers, I'm I
- 47:18Speaker 1: think Hoff from the Bay Area said he had called before,
- 47:21Speaker 1: but it's been certainly been a while, uh Cowboy Jeff
- 47:24Speaker 1: Marilyn's been a while as well. And then some of
- 47:28Speaker 1: the captains calling in too, so great, great stuff. We'll
- 47:31Speaker 1: revisit the captains next year. See you see what we
- 47:34Speaker 1: need to do. We'll try to make it all right.
- 47:36Speaker 1: So many good guys that are and girls that call
- 47:39Speaker 1: in because it's such a fun show with you guys,
