  Speaker 1: days away from the Cowboys going to San Francisco for
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that game against the forty nine Ers, the one we've

  Speaker 1: all been talking about. You guys have been talking about
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it forever since it came out. Darren Woodson was on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the show yesterday and he said he admitted, as from
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: a player standpoint, they circle games like this even when

• 0:55
  Speaker 1: why they haven't gone further in the playoffs the last
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: two years, it's because of the forty nine ers. Have
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: things changed? We'll find out because the forty nine ers
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: don't look any worse. They look actually better. They look
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: even more dominant than than they have in the past,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and the Cowboys will see how they how they match up.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good one. I mean, the last
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: two games in the playoffs have been tough, uh for
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: for both teams. Cowboys had a slow start in the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: first game, but you know, they they've they've they've battled.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a this is a good matchup
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: between these two teams. And you know, as we all know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have had their numbers. So we're
• 1:31

  Speaker 6: Man, what I was.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Getting to actually was that Sunday's weather here in Houston
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: is gonna be great, and so hopefully that that means
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: that we're gonna have a great game. I was gonna
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: say it was really cool to see Darren Woodson on
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: the show yesterday because it was actually funny to watch
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: the show and here like the one week that people
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: can like call in and just like, I don't know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: soak up some knowledge, throw all some trivia stuff. People
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: were calling in giving film breakdowns and it was just.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They were serious.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, I loved it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I was kind of like, don't you want to ask
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a questions Darren? And you know, they're like forty nine
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: ers is the way they run the ball, the traps
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and the screens. I mean, but I get it. This
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is this is this is y'all's you know week. This
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is the one that everyone's been waiting for. So I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: love the focus. Actually it was funny. He loved it too.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: He loved it too, for sure.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: For sure, this this game has been circled on the
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: calendar for months. I got a couple wagers with some
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: people that I know that are Niners fans, and I
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: don't know why I agree to it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Because you're because you're a Cowboy fan and you're a sucker,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: just like as a sucker for the Cowboys for Arkansas LSU,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: even though that game's you know, this is not the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: same type of difference. But when it's your team, it's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: your team, you know, and that's that's what it is.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to take points, you don't
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: want to do all that. You're like, no, well that's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: my team. We're gonna win. And that's I understand that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: That's the hill that I that I die on every season. Look,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of get into it right now.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Brock Party is playing some good football. I mean, I'm
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: looking at the stats right now. I'm looking at the
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: last couple of games. And I'm typically not one that
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: reads too much into like, oh, they won the last
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: eight games in the last season, and they won the
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: first few games of this year, so they're fifty to
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: l across the stretch. I think that's like doing a
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: little bit too much. But I just think that like
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: we wanted and we're hoping Purty would regress, but it
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: doesn't look like he has. I did see a stat
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: that said that he's pressured on like thirty percent of
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: drawbacks and we have the highest drawback rate. And also
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: from my time watching football, normally when you have a
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: strength versus a weakness, it doesn't necessarily end up playing
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: that well. But I think the pass rush needs to
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: get there. And then McCaffrey scored fifteen touchdowns the last
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: fifteen games he's played, and he scored a touchdowns, so
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: they need to slow him down. I think this team
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: can move the ball though in the air against this team,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: I think kind of a bold prediction for this Sunday.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: If they play their cards right, I think Brandon Cooks
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: is gonna have two touchdowns and they're going to really
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: get him involved over the top.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I saw a.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Completion chart on DAK that he was just on to
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: the outside of the numbers and taking his check downs
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: last week, taking what the defense gave him. This week,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: he's gonna have to push the ball. And then once
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: we get in the red zone, I need to see
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the r PO come back and see some vintage Dack.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: So that's my key to wear it on offense. And
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: then he went on defense is just getting pretty take
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: him down, do something, all right?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks Darian thinks for the call, uh Brock party.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: He's uh, he's he's special. I mean, there's I mean,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know any other way to say it. If
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he hasn't lost, he has lost the game, I mean
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he I mean the championship game he got hurt and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: uh against the Eagles, and who knows what how that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: game was going to unfold. But you know, he hasn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: lost in the regular season. He's nine to oher and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: so I do think that it's a you know, the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: guys are surrounding him have helped him. But you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it's not like he's he's a rookie that's going into
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a team that that you know needs some help. I mean,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he's he's really good. But but you know he's he's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a reason for it as well. I mean, he is
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a really really good quarterback. They've had other quarterbacks in
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that system and Shanahan's system, and it didn't always work out.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously one of them is here, you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and Trey Lance. But he's doing something right. He's not
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just just driving a bus. I mean, he's doing it really,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: really well. All right, good call, good stuff there, jameson
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Midland is our next call will go to James. What's up? James?
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Nick? Has it going today?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: All?
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Doing well?
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: Doing well?
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Just sitting here thinking of memories of Cowboys and forty
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: nine Ers games. And I remember crying myself to sleep
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: that night as a kid when the White Clark caught
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: that touchdown over my one of my favorite players. There
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: was some walls.
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: I was sick that night.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: But then as I became an adult, I remember all
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: the good times that we had against the Nanas. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: my best friend is an Hones fans. So we'll be
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: here in West Texas enjoying the game Sunday night.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Both both of y'all want. One of y'all will be
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: enjoying the game. One of you will not be, but.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Well, he goes to bed so early. I'll probably have
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: to leave at halftime anyway. But you know, one thing,
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: you know, as I was sitting there, one question I
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: want to ask, what are some of your fun memories
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: of the Cowboys, Niner's ribbaly And also I wanted to say,
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: you know, with the way that Pit Turpy is out
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: there in Santa Clara. I hope the guys make sure
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: they have on the right cleat so there won't be
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: a lot of flipping and sliding and all that stuff.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Good, good question, A good uh you know, that's a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: good observation too, and then that that is something that
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that they have to figure out. I think that you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the weather, it's usually it's usually worse later in the season.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I think that they've they've got a good, you know,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: good field, good situation. They don't really see that happening
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a lot early in the year, but you know, that's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: why they go out two to three hours before the game,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: get a good feel for it, and they'll do that
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in this game. As far as far as memories go
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: with the forty nine Ers, I mean, it's the best
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and the worst. I mean, it's what it is. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: mean I remember as a fan, you know, I can
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in high school and college, you know when. My favorite
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: game of all time is the nineteen ninety two NFC
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Championship game, thirty to twenty over the forty nine Ers.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It's my favorite game. It's my favorite play is Alvin
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Harper going seventy yards seventy two yards on that slant.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I just loved that game. I mean, that was the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: one that got them over the hump. That was the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: one that was like, you know, as a Cowboy fan,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like we're back, We're real again. And then in the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: ninety four championship game just two years later, you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: losing that game and being down twenty one to nothing
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and just the way they fought back, and it was
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: just kind of an epic game of you know, ebbs
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and flows and all that, and they had a chance
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to win when it all win three straight. You know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they would have been one of the greatest dynasties of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: all time. Uh if they win that game, and I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: think that they could have. It was just kind of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a weird start. But I mean that loss was one
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of the worst ones, and just a couple of years
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: later it was one of the best ones. So when
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I think of my favorite games, best and worst, I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: think of forty nine er games, and both of them
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: have been out there in San Francisco. All right, we'll
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: go to the text question here from a five to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: two five number, do you think the best way to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: avoid Nick Bosa's running at him the same way offenses
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: run at Micah. Well, that's just the way to slow
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: down their pass rusher. That's that's any pass rush, slowing
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: down their pass rushes by not passing and running the ball.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: If you have success doing it, that's fine. Great pass
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: rushers typically aren't the greatest in run stop you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: run stoppers. That's just they're not built that way. I'm
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: not saying he can't do it. Micah can stop the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: run when he needs to. D Laws one of the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: better ones as far as doing a little bit of both.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, sewing down them is to run the ball.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, running the ball will help in a lot
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of ways. It not just slows down their pass rush,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: but if they can run successfully obviously keeps you out
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of a third and long situation, So that that is
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: one one way. I mean Mos is great, you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: but they've got They've got guys on the inside, you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Hard Graves. I mean, they got guys all across the board.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I think Fred Warner is one of the greatest, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: players in the league right now, and he's a guy
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that really controls everything that they do in the middle.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: All Right, Lucky Wilson in Indianapolis as our next caller. Lucky,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: what's going on?
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: How are you doing, good man, How are you?
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I'm good?
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: Okay, So my question is how much do.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: You take the officiating? So coming to play and you goating.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Game and.
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: Part college.
• 10:56
  Speaker 11: A lot.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna we're gonna end the call there.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the call I got, officiating, that's what I heard.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're working. He sounds like he's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: working and he's calling, which is which is awesome. But
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I really didn't hear a lot of I heard officiating.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Who's officials? Who are the officials? I really don't. I don't.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know that, and I know that that's a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: big deal. I can I can promise you this if
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you called back and it's not as not as loud
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: as it was and get to a quieter spot, call
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: back and talk to to Brian brought us on the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: break here in about an hour. He knows who the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: officials are. I promise you that he does, and he
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: studies it and he knows what kind of calls they have,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy knows it as well. I really don't.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have a grasp of that. How
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the officials, you know, how it's going to be called
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I you know, I think I don't know if it
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: matters as much. I mean, officials obviously matter, but you're
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: talking about two teams that have really aggressive defenses that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: like to get after the court back. So you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: if they're calling holding a lot, I think they're going
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to call it for both both ways. If they letting
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: them play on defense, that probably favors the forty nine ers,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more because I do think the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Cowboys have a strength at wide receiver. But I mean,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: for the most part, you know, whatever they call, just
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: hope they call it the same way that that's it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: That's that's all, you know that I that I would say.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, go back to that Arizona game. They called
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: thirteen flags on the Cowboys. They were calling it tight.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: They called pass interference, they're called offensive pass interference. Then
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game they make a call
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and then they pick it up, you know. So that's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: my only issue is that if you're going to call
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it one way, just call it that way the whole game,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and then therefore I don't think it affects the teams
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that much, all right. Next caller is Bob in Rio
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Grand Valley. Bob what's up well?
• 12:51
  Speaker 12: And how you doing?
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 12:53
  Speaker 12: I'm doing great. You know, I've like everybody else, I'm
• 12:56
  Speaker 12: on pins and needles about this game that's gonna happen.
• 13:00
  Speaker 12: But you know, I think that the key to success
• 13:05
  Speaker 12: for the Cowboys is time of possession. We're not going
• 13:10
  Speaker 12: to shut down Christian McCaffery. But if we can hold
• 13:13
  Speaker 12: him to under one hundred yards and put the ball
• 13:18
  Speaker 12: and get ahead of them and put the ball in
• 13:21
  Speaker 12: Purty's hands, I think our defense can come through. I
• 13:24
  Speaker 12: think it's gonna be a close game. I think it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 12: gonna be three points one way or the other. But
• 13:27
  Speaker 12: it's going to be a bond burner, that's for sure.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where they have been. That's what these games
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: have been. I think that they're equal. Good call, Bob,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: thank you. And time of possession. You know, usually it
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: does affect, you know, it matters. I have to go
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: back and look. I think the Cowboys own the time
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and possession against Arizona, you know pretty well. But he
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: didn't win the game. So sometimes if teams are scoring
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: quickly or have you know, interceptions for touchdowns or you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: turnovers and things like that, short fields. Then that can
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: kind of skew the time possession. But you know, last
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: year McCaffrey had I think it was like forty yards
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: rushing something like that, you know, and and he didn't.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: You know, they Cowboys did a nice job against the run.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: You know, that was one of those games where they
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: didn't score when they were down there. The Cowboys that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: they had some opportunities. They turned the ball over. They
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: gave the forty nine ers a short field on a turnover. So,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought last year the Cowboys were better.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: I really do.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I think that they were a better team. I went
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: watching that game and how the flow of it went.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I thought the Cowboys were the better team, very close.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: But I thought it was a very winnable game. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: thought that the way the defense was playing. But the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Cowboys gave them some gifts. They did, and then they
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: didn't take advantage of the gifts that they got. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: say this all the time. It was around Christmas time.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I say it all the time. If if somebody gives
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you a present, open the damn thing. Open it. Okay,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: don't give it back, don't regift it, don't let it
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: sit under the tree. Open the damn gift. They gave
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: it to you take it. That's what happened. They got
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a fumble in the ten yard line, ended up kicking
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a field goal. You know, I mean the forty nine
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: ers scored when when they when they got an interception
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: down there as well? When when when they When teams
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: give you gifts, you better take advantage of it. And
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. The Cowboys were able to get some
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: turnovers and make some plays, but they couldn't kick, they
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: couldn't make extra points. They didn't They weren't taking advantage
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of the situation. So that this is why this game
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is tough for me to pick, because I think the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Cowboys were just as good, if not better than the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers last year. Didn't win, didn't win the game.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: So are they do they have the intangibles enough to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: go and win it this time? That's what we're gonna
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: find out. That we're gonna find out, all right, Chris,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: my producer down here, he said, Cowboys thirty five minutes
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to twenty five minutes for Arizona time of possession, So yeah,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: thank you for looking that up for me. Time and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: possession sometimes can can be for the most part that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you definitely want to win it on the ball. You
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: want to be in control of the game, but you
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: can't just give up quick touchdowns in short fields. All right,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Alex in Arkansas is our next caller.
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: Alex, Hey, Nick, how are you doing?
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Good morning?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Good morning? How are you.
• 16:16
  Speaker 13: I'm doing great, doing great man. I love the show,
• 16:19
  Speaker 13: but I have to admit I've been watching you and
• 16:21
  Speaker 13: Derek for so long together. It is hard to watch
• 16:24
  Speaker 13: the break and not see you on there.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: So I just want to.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Know they're doing a great job. They're doing a great job.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Patrick's great addition there. So they're they're they're doing They're
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: having a lot of fun there too.
• 16:35
  Speaker 13: Yes, yes, and yes they really are. Chris. I think
• 16:39
  Speaker 13: I've been listening. I mean, uh, Nick, I've been listening.
• 16:42
  Speaker 13: I think you hit the nail on the head about
• 16:44
  Speaker 13: the gifts, about time of position. I think the Cowboys
• 16:48
  Speaker 13: that are going to win this game, but ironically not
• 16:52
  Speaker 13: because of Mike McCarty the head coach. They're going to
• 16:54
  Speaker 13: win this game because of Mike McCarthy the play callers. Okay,
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: he's consistent, he's one. I think one of the things
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: people are overlooking Mike McCarty is not auditioning for a
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: head coaching job. He already has that, and so he's
• 17:11
  Speaker 13: going to call the game accordingly to the situation of
• 17:14
  Speaker 13: the game. And I told my wife, I said, dok
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: is going to be a different quarterback in this system
• 17:20
  Speaker 13: on the Mike McCarthy if he's just listened to Mike
• 17:23
  Speaker 13: McCarthy and followed this, follow the direction he's trying to
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: lead him in, because I've seen it for too many
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: years and he's playing out exactly that Waydak is thirteen
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: out of thirteen, sixteen out of eighteen. I think we
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: win this game not because of Mike McCarty the head
• 17:41
  Speaker 13: coach and that he's a good head coach. In my estimation,
• 17:45
  Speaker 13: I think we win this game because of Mike McCarthy
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: the play caller. And I just want to say congratulations
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: on the show and always go Cowboys. And then when
• 17:53
  Speaker 13: they come going back in time, Cowboys win this game
• 17:56
  Speaker 13: thirty to twenty.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: You know what score that is twenty awesome? Thank you,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Alex appreciate that. That's the second reference of thirty to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: twenty Cowboys beating the Niners in the ninety two championship game,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: which was actually in ninety three, but I call it
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the ninety two championship game because that was the season.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Good stuff there, Mike McCarthy, the play caller is going
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to win this game. I don't know if every fan
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: that's listening, every caller that calls in, everyone that texts,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if everyone feels the same way about that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: So good good job there with the call. I think McCarthy, though,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I think he's still figuring out the play calling. He's
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: still figuring out what this team is. I mean, it's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: one thing to say this is what I like to call,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: but you also have to understand what your players can do,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: what they don't do, what the strengths are, and also
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you have to kind of play to the situation, to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the offensive line, to what they you know, what they
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: have with their personnel and going up against you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the other the other personnel, the defense. So he's still
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he's still figuring that out. You know, this is you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: four games into it for him. I don't Yeah, he
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: called them in the preseason, but not really with this
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: time type of personnel, So they're they're kind of learning
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: on the fly.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: That's where I think the red zone struggles are coming
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: into play. We'll see if they can pick it up here.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: All right. Next caller is Josh in New Mexico. Josh,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: what's hey, how's it going?
• 19:24
  Speaker 14: What's the what's the How the Cowboy Nation doing this? Fine?
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Fine?
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: Wednesday?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Well, they're they're on pins and needless. As according to
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Bob from a couple of calls ago, they're nervous about it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: But you know, how are you are you? Are you
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: feeling good?
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Great?
• 19:39
  Speaker 14: I'm ready for the weekend, ready for to watch this game.
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: I just had a question. Do you think it's.
• 19:45
  Speaker 14: More important to stop McCaffrey and make rock party play
• 19:50
  Speaker 14: or vice versa, because that their receivers are pretty good,
• 19:54
  Speaker 14: but I think we match up pretty well against them
• 19:57
  Speaker 14: in our secondary. Yeah, I want to know your thoughts
• 20:00
  Speaker 14: on that. What's more important to stop for them?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Thanks for the call. I think I think it
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: just always comes down to the running back. You know,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: if you if you stop McCaffrey, then that means you're
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you're probably putting them in third and long, which is one,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you know, one play away from really getting off the field,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and also plays into the hands of what you know
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are liking to do. Uh, you know,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: because they rush the passer. Well, I mean this team,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, we said it yesterday, the forty
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: nine ers were the first in the NFL in first
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: down yardage. They're getting seven yards of pop on first down,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: so they're staying out a third and long, they're staying
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: out a second long. That's that right there is I
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: mean that you basically are just playing downhill if you can,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: if you can have big plays on first down. So
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure it's not all passing either. I mean,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that they run with success. They have screens, so,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you know, stopping McCaffrey, I think it's got to be
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the first thing. And that's probably gonna be the case
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: in every game you're playing with the running back versus
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. You you you would you would probably have
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to say that you have to slow him down, contain him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Just like last year. They contained him last year and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: they were in position to win. And I think that's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: what you're you're hoping for here, is get to the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter and you get yourself in position to win
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the game. They had that last year, they didn't win.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: They had it two years ago. They had to kind
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: of fight back to get in it. But but they
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: kept themselves in the game. Of course, you know McCaffrey
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't on the team then, But but I think I
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: think it is stopping stopping McCaffrey because he is kind
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of the guy that kind of makes it all work
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: for them. All Right, one more text question before we
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: go to break here. This is from Doug in Orlando.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: He said, what are your thoughts on why Cooks is
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: not very involved in helping us stretch the field? Why
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: is Dak not using his legs more? And why is
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: McCarthy not calling designed runs? Works well for other teams.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: You see it every week. Yeah, we don't see as
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: many designed runs for Dak, and I think he needs
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to get that back. I think it's an element that
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: needs to happen in the red zone. You guys are
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: saying it too. I've heard you guys say it here
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: on the on the calls and also in the in
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the text message. You know, one way to fix the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: red zone is to kind of open things up with
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: him and just put that put that thread out there
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. He's got some RPO situations that
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: he's not taking the ball, tucking in and running. That's
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: on him at times. Sometimes it's on McCarthy to call it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I want to see some quarterbacks sneaks too. And why
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: is that be fourth and one? That's the thing that
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: bothers me. Why is it ha to be fourth and one?
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: To go? Quarterbacks meet? What about third and one? What
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: about second one? Just get the first down, make the play.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Watching NFL Network right now, they're they're showing a uh
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the pass to Jesse Holly, uh forty nine Ers Cowboys
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and the and the a lot of Cowboys forty nine
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Ers rivalry there. And I've seen t O get knocked
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: off the star here. I've seen I've seen Jesse Holly
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: make plays, seeing the catch, seeing a lot of things happen.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen Alvin Harper's iconic slant over the middle
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: in the championship game. But yeah, everybody's getting excited about
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Cowboys and forty nine. So let's take a break right
• 23:13

• 25:20
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys storylines, I love the focus of the fans here,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I mean Cowboys and forty nine ers. This's the way
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: it is supposed to be. Uh, this is what everyone
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: has been talking about, and fortunately the Cowboys did their
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: part last week. I had a huge bumping the road
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: there in Arizona. Came back though, and showed showed us
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: kind of the team that they can be. I thought
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Micah Parson said it best. You know, basically admitting that
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: their focus just wasn't wasn't where it needed to be
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: against Arizona. But they play the way they want to be,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: practice the way they want to practice, and get and
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: get prepared and get after, you know, get after the opponent.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: That's that's what they did, and they they they beat
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: it New England, which you know, I don't think New
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: England is going to be a bad team. I mean
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I think that they're They're right there. They're going to be,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe a five hundred ish. They're in a
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: tough division though too, you know, playing you know, they
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: got to play the Jets and then of course Buffalo
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: and Miami, so they're in a tough division. But but
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I just think the Cowboys just just manhandled them and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: showed showed everybody that they you know, entering this game,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: that that you know, they they're definitely a formid, old
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: team and a team that can stand toe to toe
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: with with San Francisco. Again, as I keep saying, we're
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: gonna find out, We're gonna find out what they can do.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I have a text question here from Victor in Houston
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Rio Grand Valley area. He says, I know the defense
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: is still super talented for the forty nine ers defense.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: But Demiko Ryan's leaving to be Houston's head coach. Does
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that play at all at you know, a factor at
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: all in this rematch. We'll see. I mean, they're their
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: defense still looks pretty good. Now. I know that you know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Bosa's got one sack, so teams are kind of probably
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: handling him a little bit different or giving him a
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: lot more attention. But you know, they're they're not losing
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: games at all. I mean, their offenses is dynamic, but
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the defense looks pretty pretty stingy as well. So we'll
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: see if that that's going to be a factor. It
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like it has been so far. But again,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I think the Cowboys are the toughest team
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: that San Francisco has faced so far too, So you know,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: this is not just a challenge for Dallas. I mean
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: it's a challenge for San Francisco as well. All Right,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Leon in Sarasota, Florida is our next caller. Leon.
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: Hey, how you doing, Nick? Good of you man on
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: your other show. You finally got through to you. All right,
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: My question is do you think that we are better
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: prepared this year from that time we will face the Niners.
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: When we lost Pollard in the middle of the game,
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: are we better prepared as the run back position? Keep
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: that going hang up in.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Good question and a very timely question because the Cowboys
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: are dealing with some injuries right now at running back
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: with Rico Daddle banged up by the You know, Rico
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: has done a nice job, he really has. He's been impressive,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: but he was you know, he's the backup to to Pollard.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Uh So if something happens to Pollard knock on Wood
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: in the game, you know, I think they're gonna bring
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: up Milik Davis is what I think is going to happen.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: From the practice. What if if Rico doesn't play? He
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: did not practice uh yesterday. But but they're not as
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: concerned long term, Like like initially when he had the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: hip injury, they thought maybe this was going to be
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a serious thing. But he's had MRI, had some test
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: X rays. Looks looks pretty good from a long term standpoint.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's going to play in this game. But
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I think overall, from a weapons standpoint, they
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: are more exploit they are there better. I think Gallup
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: is at a better spot cooked is obviously better for
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: for you know, than whoever they had there. And Tolbert
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: is a bit I mean, he's starting to show that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: he's a little bit more of a weapon. They don't
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: have the Dalton Saltz, but I think the tight ends
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: are still They're still able to make some plays. Ferguson
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: makes a little bit more plays down the field, so
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: we'll see what looks like in the backup, running back spot.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: But you know, you never want to lose a player
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the game. But I do think
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: that they do have more weapons, and I also want
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: to throw at Turpin. I think Turpin is a better
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: offensive player than he was last year, and he's another
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: guy that I think there's still some plays to be
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to be had with Turpin. All Right, Allan in Clearwater, Florida.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Allen is next. Good morning, Good morning.
• 29:51
  Speaker 16: So a couple of things about this rivalry. Also, I'm
• 29:55
  Speaker 16: right with you. The ninety two to ninety three Championship game,
• 29:58
  Speaker 16: favorite game of all time. I've watched it a dozen times.
• 30:01
  Speaker 16: It's just amazing. But I grew up in the era
• 30:04
  Speaker 16: where the Cowboys Niners rivalry began, where I can't remember
• 30:09
  Speaker 16: the details there was like three years in a row
• 30:11
  Speaker 16: we met them in the playoffs. It was the John
• 30:13
  Speaker 16: Brody Gene Washington era from the Niners. Those were such
• 30:17
  Speaker 16: amazing games. It was a great rivalry then, and the
• 30:20
  Speaker 16: Cowboys had some of the best victories, especially coming It
• 30:23
  Speaker 16: was one game in Texas Stadium, or may even been
• 30:26
  Speaker 16: in the Cotton Ball I don't remember. We came back
• 30:28
  Speaker 16: from like two touchdowns. Amazing, amazing, and so growing up
• 30:32
  Speaker 16: with that rivalry from then and then coming into the nineties,
• 30:35
  Speaker 16: this is the most excite in my opinion for Cowboys fans.
• 30:39
  Speaker 16: It's the best rivalry right now. This game coming up,
• 30:43
  Speaker 16: we could have. As you were saying earlier, I think
• 30:45
  Speaker 16: the key is I'm confident in this game for a
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: couple of reasons. One echoing the sentiments of the caller
• 30:52
  Speaker 16: about the play calling. It's going to come down to
• 30:56
  Speaker 16: McCarthy's play calling.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: I think our.
• 30:58
  Speaker 16: Talent is an equal match. And even in the last
• 31:01
  Speaker 16: two years, the reason we lost those games we played
• 31:05
  Speaker 16: our defense was good enough. We just didn't score enough
• 31:07
  Speaker 16: points to beat them. If McCarthy can get the ball
• 31:12
  Speaker 16: in the end zone and we score thirty, we're going
• 31:16
  Speaker 16: to win this game. So I feel pretty confident about that.
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: It's like I called earlier in the week, I think
• 31:20
  Speaker 16: it comes down to the coaches and putting our players
• 31:23
  Speaker 16: in position to make the plays, and that's where they're
• 31:26
  Speaker 16: going to win or lease based on that. I feel
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: pretty confident McCarthy will hopefully come out and he'll show
• 31:32
  Speaker 16: what he's all about. Final thing, I just want to say,
• 31:36
  Speaker 16: as you've been talking about all these old time players
• 31:39
  Speaker 16: back in the day, those early days, the running back
• 31:42
  Speaker 16: tandem of Walt Garrison and Calvin Hill, and running back
• 31:46
  Speaker 16: is like my favorite position in all of football, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 16: when the Cowboys had those two guys, it was a
• 31:52
  Speaker 16: really fun pairing to watch. We've had other pairs before,
• 31:56
  Speaker 16: and those two guys in their different styles, it was
• 31:59
  Speaker 16: a great year for running back football and I just
• 32:02
  Speaker 16: have really great memories of those two guys back then.
• 32:05
  Speaker 16: So all right, my favorite full time players.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: All right, well, appreciate, appreciate the call. Taking it back
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: a little further than then, I can go there with
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: those guys, Walt Garrison, Calvin Hill. I'm looking at the
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: year by years there, it looks like like seventy or
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: sixty nine to seventy three. Those guys were the two
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: leading rushers on the team, Walt Garrison, and Walt Garrison
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: was a full back type guy but also ran the ball.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Has a lot of a lot of attempts. Different era. Obviously,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: true true Cowboy in every sense, Walt Garrison. And yeah,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: when you talk about forty nine er games, you bring
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: it back to those those seasons in the seventies early
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: seventies looks like seventy they beat the Niners to go
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, and also seventy one and then
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl in seventy two in
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the divisional around That one was the one where I
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: think that they were down in the style back came
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: back and won the game, you know it was injured,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: came back and I think that game it was in
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: San Francisco where they they had to score a couple
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: of touchdowns on sidekick and all that stuff. But anyways,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: seventies eighties was was dominated a little bit more by
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the by the Niners. Of course, the catches in there
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: in the nineties that was that was a fun era
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: as well. And now here we are again, but the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Cowboys to make it, you know, a true rivalry, they
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: got to do their part. You know, you can't just lose.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: You can't just keep losing to to the to the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They have to kind of show that that,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a back and forth thing, and so
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the best way to do that is go up there
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and beat them in this game. All right, Alan is
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: our next caller from South Korea? Alan in South Korea?
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: How do you think?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: First time?
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: Good? A little?
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: Uh? Twelve in the morning.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Twelve in the morning. Wow, what day is Friday?
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Yep, Friday morning.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: You're the first? Yeah, I love it. You're You're the
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: first caller on Friday for sure.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, this is about my first time calling. I
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: called a couple of weeks ago from Montana, and I
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: was called a couple of years ago. When uh, from
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: which soft falls?
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: All right, you're moving around? All right, gotta be some
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: air force involved.
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: There, right, yep?
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Definitely?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: All right, from which Souf fall to South Korea? There's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: there's an air force bases is definitely in play here.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's let's don't rack up the phone
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: bill even before. What's going on? What do you got
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: on your mind?
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just one thing that I wrinkled that I've been
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: wanting to see. There's just really good going for those
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: the short quarterback sneaks and maybe lifting runs.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I think with.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Jack Marnin Tyler Smith, they can definitely get that push
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: on the knee. And then one more thing, this match
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: is very evenly matched. We all know that one wrinkle
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: with this is everybody knows of our red zone ros,
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: but Jason Cuco actually has a leak to red zone defense.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: I'm really interested if you have to play on that
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that. Thanks so much for the call,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's it's probably not easy for
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you to keep up, but you definitely do. I mean,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: not only do you know about the Cowboys red zone issues,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: which most people seem to know, but also the forty
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: nine ers. I mean they're they're twenty seventh on defense
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: in the league in red zone efficiency as far as
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: letting teams get in the end zone. So they haven't
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: been all world down there as well. So something's got
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: to give when the Cowboys get down there. If they
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: get down there, they got to they gotta get down
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: there first. But they have been I think that they
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: probably lead the NFL. I should know this, but I
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: think they do lead the NFL and appearances inside the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: twenty and we all know red zone appearances inside the twenty,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: not at the twenty. But yeah, good, good call and
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: something to watch as well. See what the forty nine
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: ers do with their defense. They've given up a few
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: points down there, and you know that was the key
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: last year. That's been the key for a lot of games.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of close games seem to come down to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: just missed opportunities and missed opportunities. You don't miss them
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: any bigger than that. Then getting down there, getting having
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: to settle for three and not a touchdown. Wow, South Korea,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: That's that's awesome. The show is is global, and that's
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: not the first international call we've had, but I think
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the first one that I can remember from from South
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Korea so much so that that I I mean that
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: that Chris being typed in Yes, South Korea, like like, yes,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: didn't you didn't you read that correctly? All right? Sean
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: from Bakersfield, Yes, Bakersfield, California. Sean, what's going on? Nick?
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: How I'm good man? My sickond tome call this week?
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: You know I was talking about them roosters earlier, Yes, week.
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: I just wanted to set him. I think a lot
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: of people are doing the Cowboys passing game as uh
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: the Deacon duck as as people would say, I think
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: this game.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Would be.
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: By throwing the bomb the Brandy Cooks, just so those
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: quarnerbacks teams respect the speed of these receivers of the
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: Cowboys have this year. Also wanted to say, Man, I
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: think it couldn't get in yesterday, but Aaron Woodson has
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: been one of my all time favorite Cowboys ever. I
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: just uh, he's he's one of my childhood heroes, and
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: hopefully he can hear me.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: Uh, I just I think the Hall of Fame is sliding,
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: my boy. Man, he definitely deserves to be in the
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: Hall of Fame. That's just what I'm wanted to say.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Man, all right, Cowboys, all right, thank you, Sean and Bakersfield, California.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: That's obviously a big game for any Cowboy fan in
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: any place. But I would imagine if you're in California,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: you got some next couple of you know, next couple
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: of games, next couple of weeks really with with you know,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, and then I say the Chargers.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know do they even have fans. I'm not
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: sure that they got some. But but you know, this
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: is this is obviously the big game. This is the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: big game in California, and and you know, deep ball, yeah,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I think I think that has to happen. I think
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: that they have to take some shots a little bit
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: more than than they've done. I think I think they're
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: not using Brandon Cook's speed. I've always been asking for
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: a guy, you know, give me that speed element, give
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: me that guy. And I think there's ways to use
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: it without even having to. You know, you don't have
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: to always connect on the on the deep ball, but
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: you got to show it. You got to show your hand,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: You got to show what you've got. And I think
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: that that that matters. I don't think that this team
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: has done it as much, uh in the first few games.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: And then they need to get to that. And you know,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: CD can go deep, Gallup can go deep. You know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: but I think it starts with the pass protection and
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: they've got to be you know, solid there so you
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: can get down the field. But you know, when that's
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: there and it's blocked, I'd like to see some some
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: shots down there, because not only do you have a
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: chance for a big play. Let's see how the game
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: is officiating. We had a we had a you know,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: a caller earlier in the show about about how the
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: how the game will be called and what the officials
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: or like, let's see, let's let's let's find that out.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Let's see if they're calling pass interference. I mean that
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: that could be a game changing play. You don't even
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: have to you know, complete the pass. If you can
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: get a thirty to forty to fifty yard pass interference
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: apparently down the field, that flips the field tremendously, so
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you know you have a chance to get that as well.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I'm taking a shot. I'm taking a shot early. I
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: want to see what what you know, what what they're
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: calling and how the forty nine ers can and can
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: now react to that. All right? Got a text question
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: from Bryson in Salt Lake City. There hasn't been much
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: discussion on tight ends not being as reliable as needed.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. I think it's being
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: discussed honestly, but especially in the red zone with drops,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I believe they're a bigger key point to a win
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: this week. What are your thoughts? I think we talked
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: about it. I mean, I mean, every one of the
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: tight ends has had a drop. Ferguson's had one, you know,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: not really not really in the red zone that I remember,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: but I know Schoonmaker did, could have been a touchdown,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Hendershot did in the first game. Ferguson's had some drops
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: or at least one. But yeah, that's that's a that's
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: a big thing. These guys have to be a little
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: bit more reliable and when that happens, that will help
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the guys on the outside. It helps the running game.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: You got to show a threat there and they're gonna
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: be on the field. Cowboys like to use twelve thirteen personnel,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: which is one back, two tight ends for twelve one back,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: three tight ends for thirteen personnel. They use that a lot,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: but it's not as effective if they're not if they're
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: not going to catch the ball and be more reliable
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: because they're not, I mean just being on the field
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: and being you know, these road grader blockers, that's not
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: who they are.
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: They can block, they can, they can, they can play big,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: bigger than the normal, but it's not always an advantage.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: What it is an advantage if they can also leak
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: out and be effective as pass catchers. So if your
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: tight ends are not going to help you with those mismatches,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: you know they're not going to be just knocking guys
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: off the ball. So that's the key is those tight
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: ends have got to show us something that they can do.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: And I think they're getting better. But that's that's a key,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: right there is and it has been talked about. All right, Uh,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: next caller level in Wascombe, Texas? Is that right?
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: All right, how's it going.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: Show?
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. This is the first time call for you, right, yes,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: there it is? All right? What do you got? What's
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: on your mind?
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: He's got a quick score up prediction and uh thirty
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: four twenty Cowboys and dak Chriscott was silent for a
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: lot of haters.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: For for how long? Like an hour? Two hours? Maybe
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: a day week? Okay, yeah, a couple of days.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: You're not going to silence the haters, You're not. He's
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: not gonna do it because what happens is he could
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: play all world, they'll beat the Niners whatever. He plays great,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: three hundred yards, no turnovers, rushings for a touchdown and
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: they'll say great, good win what is he going to
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: do in the playoffs? So you're not going to silence
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: anybody in October.
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: Well, he got to full least a couple of days.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: We're gonna give him that a couple of days.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: All right, cool? What else is on your mind? He
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: got another question? All right, I guess that's it.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: Just a quick little all.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Right, predictions all we need? All right, in and out
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: you two. Let's keep moving here to the next caller,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Tony and Alexandria Virginia. Tony, what's up?
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: You're on?
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: Hey Nick?

  Speaker 10: then I got a little trivia question, pra and get
• 43:31
  Speaker 10: it right. So one comment I have as far as
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: I like, you know, revisiting or going down the Randy
• 43:38
  Speaker 10: Gregory thing, I'm gonna take a hard know on that.
• 43:43
  Speaker 10: Or as Jerry Jones would say, el Paso on that,
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: And then the other comment I have too is it's
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: always kind of bugged me how like our second round
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: picks either they just don't work out or they're just
• 43:59
  Speaker 10: you know, they're not on the team that long. And
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: it's funny. I've got a buddy that I text there
• 44:03
  Speaker 10: that lives in the Dallas area, and I told him, like,
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: we've got to do better on a second round picks.
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: I mean, since just real quick, since twenty ten, these
• 44:12
  Speaker 10: are our second round pick. Songley, of course he retired,
• 44:15
  Speaker 10: Bruce Carter retired. Twenty twelve, we had no pick. Twenty thirteen,
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: Gavin Escobar deceased. God lest this goal. Fourteen, DeMarcus Lawrence,
• 44:24
  Speaker 10: he is on the team. Randy Gregory, we know about him.
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: In fifteen sixteen, Jalen Smith not on the team anymore,
• 44:30
  Speaker 10: Chiaboy Luzia not on a team anymore. In seventeen eighteen,
• 44:33
  Speaker 10: Connor Williams not on the team. Tristan Hill was kind
• 44:37
  Speaker 10: of not on a team anymore. Twenty Trevon Dicks, he is.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: On the team.
• 44:40
  Speaker 10: Twenty one, Kelvin Joseph not on a team anymore, and
• 44:43
  Speaker 10: then twenty two Sam Williams is is on the team
• 44:47
  Speaker 10: and the jury is still out on him. But I
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: just think we need to do a better job on
• 44:50
  Speaker 10: our second round picks. And I know lots of times
• 44:53
  Speaker 10: we're picking at the end of the second round and
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: maybe spars trying to find a good player there. But
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: I just think we needed you a better job on that.
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: And then the.
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: Trivia question I have for you. Out of all the
• 45:03
  Speaker 10: NFL teams, I believe dak is down to two teams
• 45:07
  Speaker 10: that he has not be Can you name those two teams?
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks for the call, God teams he hasn't beaten.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know he's Is he gone because
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna have to find it here? Yeah, yeah, okay,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I mean. Jacksonville, Now he's beaten Jacksonville.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I'm known. I would sit here and play all day
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: long on that one. You know, I give me a second,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: I'd probably figure it out. But uh, he hasn't beaten
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: in the regular season. Yeah, I would thank somebody over
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: there in the in the a f C. H Maybe Denver.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Uh not sure about that one, could be Denver. All right,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: how about but we go back to the secon round
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: picks that that's a philosophy thing though. That's that's something
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: that that that's not just it's not just bad I
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: mean bad luck. That's that's a philosophy that they're going for.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: They're trying to get value. They're trying to look at
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: players that have been either injured or they've got off
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: the field issues or maybe both, and they're saying, hey,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: this guy's got talent, let's try to get him. Let's
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: try to bring this guy in here. Let's see if
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: we can help him and get over some of the
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: issues they had rehab, you know, the injury, whatever it is,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: and try to steal a first round talent. That they
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: tried it with Bruce Carter, they tried it with with
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: obviously with Randy Gregory. Jyaln Smith was like the biggest
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: one that they tried that with. You know, they've they've
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: made an effort to try to do that. They thought
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs was a first round pick that he fell.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Let's let's try to get Trayvon Dicks. He didn't have
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: off the field issues at all, but you know, and
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and they hit that one. But for the most part,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Sam Williams is another one where they you know, they
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: they like the talent and they're trying to go for
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: it here and they they just hasn't worked all the time.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: But it's more of a philosophy thing. It's certainly not
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: a bad luck thing. They're picking great in the first round,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: but second round they've changed their tune a little bit
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: on that. So, all right, that'll be the end of
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the show today. I wish I had the answer to that.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Denver, I got it's on your sheet. Okay,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: it's Denver and Buffalo, Buffalo and Denver. That's the end.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Chris found it, figured it out cool. They could he
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: could change one of them this year, uh, you know,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: going to going to Buffalo and playing them, not gonna
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: play Denver for a little bit there. So they're not
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: making it to the super Bowl. And I'm not saying
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are, but I think they got a better
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: chance than obviously Denver. All Right, that's it for today's show.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Appreciate all the callers. Good stuff. Chris Bean running the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: board in the back. We will see you tomorrow. Make
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: some picks tomorrow on Cowboys storyline. See then.
