- 0:17Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 4: Here's Nick Eatman.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette. I'm
- 0:28Speaker 1: Nick Eatman. It's Thursday, November the twentieth. Let's get this
- 0:32Speaker 1: show on the roads. Get it started. Cowboys Eagles Week.
- 0:37Speaker 1: It's a short week, but it's all right. Let's good
- 0:39Speaker 1: after it. Philadelphia winning every game by touchdown or less.
- 0:46Speaker 1: They have eight wins this year, eight and two. Seven
- 0:49Speaker 1: of their eight wins are by a touchdown or less.
- 0:53Speaker 1: The Giants. They defeated the Giants by like seventeen points
- 0:56Speaker 1: foot but everything else has been close, including the Week
- 0:59Speaker 1: one against the Cowboys. Give them credit. They're they seem beatable.
- 1:03Speaker 1: But but it's it's a lot harder than it looks apparently.
- 1:07Speaker 1: You know, they're a weird team to figure out their
- 1:09Speaker 1: their offenses is near the bottom of the league. Their defense,
- 1:14Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well their defense is gonna be rate,
- 1:16Speaker 1: you know, top five. Now they're they're like seventeenth, eighteenth.
- 1:20Speaker 1: That they're like, you know, points allowed that they're maybe
- 1:24Speaker 1: top ten, but where they're where they're number one is
- 1:28Speaker 1: is is giveaways. They don't they don't give the ball away.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I mean at all four turnovers this year, so, I mean,
- 1:36Speaker 1: I don't know if the Cowboys have had a four
- 1:38Speaker 1: to one game, maybe three, but but for for a
- 1:41Speaker 1: season's pretty pretty great. One interception, three fumbles, so and
- 1:46Speaker 1: you know they get the ball every now and again.
- 1:48Speaker 1: They have like ten takeaways, but man, they are protective
- 1:52Speaker 1: of the football. They keep it and they go and
- 1:54Speaker 1: they do just enough to win. So it'll be a
- 1:57Speaker 1: fun game, obviously, Cowboys coming off with a really really
- 1:59Speaker 1: big win, an emotional win that now, I mean that's
- 2:02Speaker 1: been the narrative all year long. You can beat these teams?
- 2:05Speaker 1: Can you beat these teams? Well we're about to find out.
- 2:08Speaker 1: All right, let's get it started. On those calls. Danny Henderson, Nevada,
- 2:12Speaker 1: which is a first time caller, How you doing.
- 2:18Speaker 5: I'm doing great. I want to say thanks for coming
- 2:21Speaker 5: over to the sideline and meeting me and my family
- 2:25Speaker 5: at the game the other night. That was really special
- 2:27Speaker 5: for us.
- 2:27Speaker 1: It was awesome.
- 2:29Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, going.
- 2:32Speaker 5: Back to that game, just real quick. I know we're
- 2:34Speaker 5: onto a Philly, but I want to give a shout
- 2:36Speaker 5: out to Hunter Limpke. I thought he played a really
- 2:38Speaker 5: good game and was really determined. I think he ended
- 2:42Speaker 5: up with like forty yards of total offense. And again
- 2:45Speaker 5: shout out to Shaddy for the play calling. I don't
- 2:49Speaker 5: think that was on the Raiders defensive coordinator's BINGO card there.
- 2:54Speaker 5: And I do think the way he's calling things, I'm
- 3:00Speaker 5: really happy with with Shady as a coach and as a.
- 3:02Speaker 6: Play caller.
- 3:05Speaker 5: Defensively, I'm really excited now. I can't believe I'm saying that.
- 3:09Speaker 5: A few weeks ago I was I was burying my
- 3:11Speaker 5: head in the sand. But the players we got back,
- 3:14Speaker 5: plus the players we traded for, I think they like
- 3:19Speaker 5: they did in the Raider game. You know, they gave
- 3:21Speaker 5: up a few chunk plays and then when they got
- 3:24Speaker 5: to the red zone, they shut it down and made
- 3:27Speaker 5: them kick field goals. And even when they got the
- 3:30Speaker 5: turnover on us, they went backwards and kicked the field goals.
- 3:34Speaker 5: So if our defense can do that, our future is
- 3:37Speaker 5: bright with the offense we have, and I just think
- 3:41Speaker 5: we get an edge rusher in the draft or some
- 3:44Speaker 5: island free agency. This defense can really be good in
- 3:48Speaker 5: a hurry.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Yeah, totally totally agreed. Yeah, all right, Well Danny was
- 3:53Speaker 1: great to meet you and your family, and yeah, he
- 3:57Speaker 1: had had a great spot there behind the bench in
- 4:00Speaker 1: pre game. I think his tickets, he said, we're not
- 4:02Speaker 1: too far from that up in the stands. But got
- 4:05Speaker 1: to see him in pre game and chatted with him
- 4:08Speaker 1: a little bit, and you know, it was it was, Uh,
- 4:13Speaker 1: he's right about the defense. The defense. You know, that's
- 4:16Speaker 1: what's what I've been asking for for a while. You know,
- 4:18Speaker 1: I just need some stops. I don't you don't have
- 4:21Speaker 1: to score, you don't have to you know, sacks and
- 4:24Speaker 1: turnovers and defensive touchdowns, all that's gravy, okay, but I
- 4:29Speaker 1: just need need a few stops here. And then they
- 4:31Speaker 1: did they they they did it. Now that was against
- 4:34Speaker 1: the Raiders. The Raiders are not good at all. They're
- 4:39Speaker 1: not They're not a good team. So let's let's see
- 4:41Speaker 1: some stops against against good teams. Couldn't stop the Broncos,
- 4:46Speaker 1: you know, and and and their their offense was struggling
- 4:49Speaker 1: going into that game and has struggled afterwards too. But
- 4:54Speaker 1: you know, they but they look great against the Cowboys,
- 4:56Speaker 1: you know, and there's been other teams like that this
- 4:58Speaker 1: year too, so let's feel another one.
- 5:00Speaker 6: Now.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Their offense hasn't looked that great. What's wrong in Philly?
- 5:03Speaker 1: What's going on? Well, let's see what happens, you know,
- 5:06Speaker 1: against against the Cowboys. All right, Anthony and Miami.
- 5:10Speaker 7: Make the quick. What's up, my guy?
- 5:12Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 5:13Speaker 7: I'm doing pretty good. I hope he gave me on
- 5:15Speaker 7: the road man, from the head up there on that end,
- 5:18Speaker 7: we got some of the callers, some of your callers,
- 5:21Speaker 7: give me give me one second? Why god man, ay,
- 5:25Speaker 7: I'm all that within an hour from them. So I
- 5:29Speaker 7: had to all let them to win and pick it
- 5:30Speaker 7: up and take a can you know what I'm saying.
- 5:32Speaker 7: To win and pick it up. You know what I'm saying. So,
- 5:34Speaker 7: in the words of my one of my favorite new restlers,
- 5:38Speaker 7: l A. Knight, Baby, let me talk to you. Yeah,
- 5:44Speaker 7: so let's talk about these Eagles, man, and what's going
- 5:46Speaker 7: on is gunet We got the face so I heard
- 5:49Speaker 7: you doing doing titles and show titles possibly, so let
- 5:53Speaker 7: me give it to you role like you're supposed to
- 5:55Speaker 7: be given. It's simple. You got two titles and this
- 5:59Speaker 7: how this game saiting this out of this gauntlet. We
- 6:01Speaker 7: gotta go if you want to get to this tenth
- 6:02Speaker 7: section one which I predicted, and you're gonna make that
- 6:05Speaker 7: seventh spot if you get there. So it starts with Philly.
- 6:08Speaker 7: So two titles you may use on how we need
- 6:10Speaker 7: to do and all of this mess we got right now,
- 6:13Speaker 7: no excuses. First one, win the game by any means necessary.
- 6:22Speaker 7: The second one, how bad do you want it? It's simple, man.
- 6:28Speaker 7: So here's my score. You know, I've been using some
- 6:30Speaker 7: of my old Cowboys. I use my two favorites last
- 6:34Speaker 7: week thirty three twenty two door set, and in it,
- 6:36Speaker 7: I'm going back with mister Dorset because you gave me luck.
- 6:39Speaker 7: And the second is to be thirty three Cowboys, and
- 6:42Speaker 7: we're going with Timmy Newsom thirty for them for them,
- 6:45Speaker 7: sigels a Nick. That's all I got to say.
- 6:48Speaker 6: My ain't.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Why Anthony fired up this morning. I like it all right,
- 6:57Speaker 1: you and I said this yesterday about you know, I'm
- 7:02Speaker 1: just I'm just trying something here. We'll see. You know,
- 7:04Speaker 1: it's been two days. I've I've used some of the
- 7:09Speaker 1: titles or I use the words by some of the
- 7:13Speaker 1: callers to create my title. You know, I don't use
- 7:16Speaker 1: AI uh for that unlike others. But you know, I
- 7:19Speaker 1: try to create my own and and so but I
- 7:22Speaker 1: but I'm using you guys. You guys are the are
- 7:24Speaker 1: the my version of AI. But it's up to it's
- 7:28Speaker 1: up for debate. You know, he can't just be throwing
- 7:30Speaker 1: out stuff. You know, it's got to get voted on
- 7:32Speaker 1: by me on the fly. I like some of these.
- 7:36Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. You want to go back
- 7:39Speaker 1: to the first caller, Danny and Henderson Nevada said something
- 7:42Speaker 1: about Hunter Lipke and and I didn't. I kind of
- 7:44Speaker 1: glossed over that when I was talking about his call.
- 7:47Speaker 1: But but yeah, Lipkey. A couple of times this year
- 7:50Speaker 1: he's made a play where you know, should be two, three,
- 7:53Speaker 1: four yards and he makes like nine or ten, gets
- 7:57Speaker 1: the first down or gets close. He didn't get a
- 7:58Speaker 1: first down in that Raiders game, but that was a
- 8:00Speaker 1: dump off to him. He did the work, he did
- 8:02Speaker 1: extra efford, he did a spend, he dove, he got it,
- 8:05Speaker 1: made it fourth and one, and then they went for it.
- 8:08Speaker 1: You know that he changed That was a four point play,
- 8:11Speaker 1: you know, getting four yards turned into four points because
- 8:15Speaker 1: they didn't kick a field goal, they went for it,
- 8:17Speaker 1: they got the touchdown. So you know, it's those type
- 8:20Speaker 1: of plays, and he's doing that quite often where you
- 8:23Speaker 1: think maybe he needs to be out there a little
- 8:25Speaker 1: bit more. I know, you guys love him, but he is.
- 8:29Speaker 1: You know, it's that time of year where I give him.
- 8:31Speaker 1: You know, I gave him the nickname. No one else
- 8:34Speaker 1: has called him that, but I give it to him.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I call him Thanksgiving. And we're getting to that point
- 8:38Speaker 1: because he is. He's like you're played at Thanksgiving. You know, yeah, Okay,
- 8:42Speaker 1: put the turkey here. But you know what, m yeah, maroon,
- 8:45Speaker 1: let's do this. Oh what if we put this on there?
- 8:48Speaker 1: That's what they do to him. A little bit of
- 8:49Speaker 1: tied end, a little bit of full back, a lot
- 8:51Speaker 1: of special teams, a little bit of running back. You
- 8:53Speaker 1: could probably pun it if you need him to. All right,
- 8:56Speaker 1: let's go to Brian in Kansas City.
- 8:59Speaker 8: Good morning.
- 9:01Speaker 6: I'm doing pretty good man.
- 9:03Speaker 7: You know, I was thinking the I.
- 9:06Speaker 8: For a couple of years, people have said, what's the identity?
- 9:09Speaker 8: What's the identity on this offense? What you just said
- 9:14Speaker 8: about Lipke, you could say about Williams. You could say
- 9:18Speaker 8: about Pickens. They're all fighting tooth and nail and just
- 9:25Speaker 8: pushing for that extra or whatever a couple of yards,
- 9:30Speaker 8: you know, and maybe that's the identity of our offense
- 9:33Speaker 8: is just you know, that that scratching, fighting, fighting mentality,
- 9:39Speaker 8: pushing forward like you know, yeah, Pickens looks like nobody
- 9:43Speaker 8: like he's offended if somebody tries to tackle him, you know.
- 9:47Speaker 4: Yeah, just a thought.
- 9:49Speaker 8: He and I have a my nickname for Big ninety two.
- 9:54Speaker 8: It's an aviation term that I learned in the Navy,
- 9:57Speaker 8: but I'm.
- 9:57Speaker 7: Calling him Max Q.
- 10:01Speaker 8: Because man, that is what we got in him.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well, hopefully he'll he'll keep that going. You know.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Obviously he hasn't been as consistent as you wanted, you know,
- 10:10Speaker 1: as you would want him to be. The Jets obviously,
- 10:13Speaker 1: you know, it felt like they could part ways with them,
- 10:15Speaker 1: and they did, and so you know, there's a reason
- 10:18Speaker 1: why he's had one sack probably in eight games. So
- 10:21Speaker 1: what is that? What? What? And that's what the Cowboys
- 10:23Speaker 1: have to you know, figure out and and unleash him
- 10:28Speaker 1: to play at his max like you said, So that
- 10:31Speaker 1: that's what if the Cowboys are getting that that type
- 10:33Speaker 1: of guy then then a first and a second round
- 10:36Speaker 1: pick is a steal. It would be I mean, that's
- 10:39Speaker 1: hard to say, but but it would be if if
- 10:43Speaker 1: you can get that type of player to play like
- 10:46Speaker 1: that and play and make the other guys around him
- 10:48Speaker 1: suddenly better than than what they were. All right, Irene, next.
- 10:53Speaker 9: Morning, Good morning, How are you good?
- 10:55Speaker 1: How are you doing well?
- 10:57Speaker 9: I just watched the Sounds of the Sideline shuts up
- 11:00Speaker 9: Speam and Alex Lilly. My favorite thing in there. Well,
- 11:03Speaker 9: there's a lot of great stuff, but my favorite thing
- 11:05Speaker 9: coaching wise, I guess our player coach, Queen Williams coaching
- 11:09Speaker 9: up Azaraku. I love that. I love that man. He's
- 11:12Speaker 9: impacting already, so very cool. I have a couple of
- 11:16Speaker 9: questions from Joseph and Lincoln Park, New Jersey, who you
- 11:20Speaker 9: met last week on our space, will be doing one tonight.
- 11:23Speaker 9: He wanted to know, of all the coaches you've been around,
- 11:27Speaker 9: who you've had the best rapport with.
- 11:33Speaker 6: Okay, I think he would.
- 11:35Speaker 9: He would go with head coach, I think, But that's.
- 11:36Speaker 6: Cool, that's awesome.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Should be I'll answer that off the air, Yeah, okay,
- 11:42Speaker 1: get with them, okay.
- 11:43Speaker 9: And then his other question was if Ryan f LLINOI
- 11:48Speaker 9: might get more involved in kickoff and punt returns, and
- 11:52Speaker 9: then my score prediction. I'm going to reverse our first
- 11:55Speaker 9: game with the Eagles twenty seven to twenty four Cowboy.
- 11:57Speaker 9: All right, bye.
- 12:01Speaker 1: It was twenty four to twenty Cowboys, wasn't It doesn't matter.
- 12:06Speaker 1: She's speaking to win favorite best report from a head coach. Well,
- 12:14Speaker 1: it wasn't Chan Gaily. I was here for one year
- 12:17Speaker 1: with Chan Dave Campo probably that was maybe one of
- 12:24Speaker 1: part of the problem. But I mean camps was one
- 12:26Speaker 1: of us. You know, I really really like him as
- 12:30Speaker 1: a person. He's good, I mean he was obviously as
- 12:32Speaker 1: a head coach, was tough. It was an uphill battle
- 12:35Speaker 1: and he wasn't one that anybody really could win. You
- 12:37Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback. You don't have any money, so
- 12:40Speaker 1: you don't have that. If you don't have any money
- 12:42Speaker 1: for the salary cap and you don't have any a
- 12:44Speaker 1: quarterback not gonna win. I didn't have a you know,
- 12:48Speaker 1: I mean Bill, it was. I had a few run
- 12:51Speaker 1: ends with him a little bit. He knew my name,
- 12:53Speaker 1: which isn't a which wasn't a good thing. You know,
- 12:56Speaker 1: it turned out to not be a good thing. But
- 12:59Speaker 1: I actually, you know, over the years I've had you know,
- 13:01Speaker 1: got a chance to do some interviews with him, and
- 13:03Speaker 1: I mean absolutely fascinating. He was my favorite coach ever,
- 13:08Speaker 1: and so yeah, I mean I probably you know, be him.
- 13:12Speaker 1: I mean Jason Garrett though every now and again would
- 13:14Speaker 1: have you know, would have some some good conversations with him,
- 13:17Speaker 1: didn't really have much with McCarthy. I really like Shoddy,
- 13:20Speaker 1: but you haven't had a lot of those relationships yet.
- 13:25Speaker 1: I mean, it probably could be him, you know, over time.
- 13:27Speaker 1: But uh, there's so much respect that I had for
- 13:29Speaker 1: Parcels and just you know, I just think he was amazing,
- 13:33Speaker 1: just because the details he would have his press conference
- 13:36Speaker 1: were just must must watch. But if you're asking me
- 13:38Speaker 1: about any coach, uh, you know, assistant, I mean Joe d.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Kamelis by far, I mean, that's that's my that's my guy.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I didn't really want to text him about the South
- 13:47Speaker 1: Carolina game this last week, but uh, I still keep
- 13:50Speaker 1: in contact with him for sure, all right, Sergeant Sue
- 13:53Speaker 1: and fort Worth is next.
- 13:55Speaker 10: EDI's everybody was going on, Nick, are you good?
- 13:58Speaker 4: Brother?
- 13:58Speaker 6: Good? Hey?
- 14:00Speaker 10: So I was just thinking about this game, man, you know,
- 14:02Speaker 10: I know it's gonna be kind of tough to run
- 14:03Speaker 10: on this team. You know, they got like their big
- 14:06Speaker 10: guys up in the middle. I feel like this is
- 14:08Speaker 10: a game where offensively you really have to utilize pre
- 14:12Speaker 10: snap motion, you know, to get the mismatches. You know,
- 14:15Speaker 10: have CDs in motion over maybe into the slot, you know,
- 14:18Speaker 10: have GP motion. I think this is a game where Turpin,
- 14:22Speaker 10: who has been relatively quiet, way quieter than I thought
- 14:24Speaker 10: he was gonna be, unfortunately. But I think this is
- 14:26Speaker 10: a game where Turpin can you know, do some of
- 14:28Speaker 10: those end rounds or get some of those quick screens,
- 14:30Speaker 10: kind of those like quote unquote extension of the run
- 14:33Speaker 10: game type plays. I think if he doesn't really show
- 14:35Speaker 10: up this week, then maybe he's not even like the
- 14:38Speaker 10: gadget guy that we thought he was, you know what
- 14:40Speaker 10: I mean.
- 14:40Speaker 11: But but I do have a lot of.
- 14:42Speaker 10: Faith in this offense. Man, I think it's gonna be really,
- 14:43Speaker 10: it's gonna be a great The superstars got to show up. Defensively,
- 14:47Speaker 10: I think that you got a spy hurts obviously we
- 14:50Speaker 10: get we do a better job of that this time around.
- 14:53Speaker 10: And for me, man, I'm blitzing and I'm and I'm
- 14:55Speaker 10: playing a lot of Man, I'm forcing Hurts to make
- 14:57Speaker 10: those tight windows throws that he doesn't really want to make.
- 15:00Speaker 10: I'm definitely doing that if I'm the DC. That's what
- 15:03Speaker 10: I'm trying to focus on, you know, and a lot
- 15:05Speaker 10: of interior pressure, you know, hit him where it hurts,
- 15:07Speaker 10: you know what I mean. So I think Dallas, you're
- 15:09Speaker 10: gonna win twenty seven twenty four, and thanks for taking
- 15:12Speaker 10: my car. But I'll listen to off.
- 15:13Speaker 1: There, all right, thank you. Yeah. I mean it's always
- 15:17Speaker 1: it's always tough with them to blitz, just because if
- 15:21Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't get home and you don't
- 15:24Speaker 1: get him down, then when he when he breaks, you know,
- 15:28Speaker 1: free of the line, and then he's got a lot
- 15:30Speaker 1: of room. That's what happened a lot in the in
- 15:32Speaker 1: that game when they did start blitzing him a little
- 15:36Speaker 1: bit more in the second half, with different blitzes, things
- 15:39Speaker 1: that he wasn't used to seeing. I think Bland came
- 15:40Speaker 1: off the edge. I think Diggs came off the edge
- 15:43Speaker 1: and it rattled him a little bit. They weren't the same,
- 15:46Speaker 1: so you know, they made some adjustments, but it wasn't enough. Obviously.
- 15:50Speaker 1: I thought they did a decent job against Barkley. Again,
- 15:53Speaker 1: it's so hard to talk about that that game because
- 15:56Speaker 1: you know, it's been eleven weeks and feels like a
- 16:00Speaker 1: long eleven weeks too, like you know, that's three months
- 16:03Speaker 1: pretty much. But it's it's a lot, I mean, a
- 16:06Speaker 1: lot of has happened, a lot hasn't happened, a few
- 16:10Speaker 1: changes on defense. I mean, I'm sure that they're a
- 16:12Speaker 1: different team now too, so everything's just kind of different.
- 16:17Speaker 1: You can go off the of that that game if
- 16:19Speaker 1: you want to, but I just feel like this is
- 16:20Speaker 1: one that could just take on a life of its own,
- 16:22Speaker 1: like most of them do. All right, our next caller,
- 16:26Speaker 1: We've got Hector and el Paso. Hector, Yes, sir.
- 16:30Speaker 12: How are you doing to date?
- 16:31Speaker 13: Man?
- 16:31Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 16:33Speaker 7: Doing good?
- 16:33Speaker 6: Doing good?
- 16:35Speaker 12: Feeling very hopeful on how this defense looks this past game.
- 16:40Speaker 12: I know it's against the Raiders team, but again, when
- 16:43Speaker 12: we first played Philly this year, even then, that was
- 16:48Speaker 12: a really close game and technically I think should have
- 16:51Speaker 12: been a win.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:53Speaker 12: Anyways, my curiosity here and I don't know if anybody
- 16:58Speaker 12: else is talking about much and Jerry Jones, you know,
- 17:03Speaker 12: making these moves and saying he's all in. Don't you
- 17:08Speaker 12: think that being all in? I mean, what are we
- 17:10Speaker 12: waiting for on signing GP? Why are we taking so long?
- 17:13Speaker 12: Why are we waiting for the off season? Why not
- 17:16Speaker 12: get them done in seasons?
- 17:18Speaker 1: Because it's thirty seven million a year, uh, thirty seven million,
- 17:22Speaker 1: and justin Jefferson's contracts thirty five and CDs is thirty four.
- 17:28Speaker 1: So you wanna do that? Pickings thirty seven?
- 17:32Speaker 12: I mean the way CD Pickings and Beck are you
- 17:36Speaker 12: know that chemistry that they got going on? Yeah, I mean,
- 17:40Speaker 12: why not we have those draft picks that we're going
- 17:42Speaker 12: to use. I would assume defensively, you have your offense set.
- 17:47Speaker 12: Give him the thirty seven. The later it gets off
- 17:49Speaker 12: into the off season, I mean, we're gonna end up,
- 17:52Speaker 12: you know, the way Jerry is, we'll end up with
- 17:55Speaker 12: another forty million dollars a year player. Yeah, if he
- 17:58Speaker 12: waits as long as he likes to wait. But anyways,
- 18:01Speaker 12: thank you very much, go ahead, listen.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Thanks thanks very much, all right, thanks Hector? Why Yeah,
- 18:07Speaker 1: I don't know if he's called before. If he has,
- 18:10Speaker 1: it's been a little bit, so he's still worthy of
- 18:12Speaker 1: the Here we go, Here we go, really shouldn't be
- 18:14Speaker 1: first time caller, should be you know, first time caller
- 18:18Speaker 1: in a long long time. And so whatever that is
- 18:22Speaker 1: good to hear from you. You know, I was having
- 18:24Speaker 1: that conversation with the colleague of mine just just right
- 18:27Speaker 1: before the show, just about pickings and what do you
- 18:30Speaker 1: do there? And you know, it sounds like the Cowboys
- 18:35Speaker 1: will will franchise tag him if if a deal isn't
- 18:38Speaker 1: you know, hasn't been made, and then but not necessarily
- 18:42Speaker 1: to keep him. It could be, you know, franchised to
- 18:46Speaker 1: trade him. I don't know, I don't love the idea.
- 18:48Speaker 1: I think you got to keep him, you know what
- 18:52Speaker 1: you what you know, the the worry is okay, so
- 18:56Speaker 1: what happened in Vegas? What? What? What? What was going
- 18:59Speaker 1: on there? What what happened? And is at the first
- 19:01Speaker 1: time has it been? Is that a pattern? It is
- 19:03Speaker 1: just gonna continue to happen, you know, can they corral this?
- 19:07Speaker 1: Is this the kind of person you want to give
- 19:08Speaker 1: the money to, the same with CD. Let's don't let's
- 19:12Speaker 1: don't you know, exclude him from the conversation. He was
- 19:16Speaker 1: a part of it too. It's kind of like the
- 19:17Speaker 1: old Cabo thing when Tony Romo went went to Cabo.
- 19:20Speaker 1: We know Whitten was there, you know, I mean, Bobby
- 19:23Speaker 1: Carpenter was there. It didn't matter, but Witten was there,
- 19:27Speaker 1: you know, So like let's don't let's don't just say,
- 19:29Speaker 1: you know, put it on one guy. Same with CD
- 19:32Speaker 1: and Picking. But you know, you don't fool these agents
- 19:37Speaker 1: and the Micah Parsons trade. In my opinion, it was
- 19:44Speaker 1: was big for a lot of reasons because to that point,
- 19:48Speaker 1: all the agents, you know, they they talk, they know, oh,
- 19:51Speaker 1: I gotta I got a big contract coming up with Cowboys.
- 19:54Speaker 1: I got my guy whoever, and you know he's I
- 19:56Speaker 1: got to meet with Jerry and him. He's in the
- 19:59Speaker 1: narrative is Jerry's not gonna let him go, So don't
- 20:02Speaker 1: take a deal because Jerry's not gonna let that guy
- 20:05Speaker 1: get out the door. He doesn't look at all these guys.
- 20:07Speaker 1: He never lets a great player out the door until
- 20:10Speaker 1: he did, until he sent him out the door with
- 20:13Speaker 1: Micaeh Parsons. So now that's not that's not on the
- 20:16Speaker 1: table as far as as that goes. I mean, I
- 20:19Speaker 1: think I think Jerry kind of got some leverage back
- 20:21Speaker 1: that way, and I think taking a deal, you know,
- 20:24Speaker 1: if if George Perkins listens to Dez, which I don't
- 20:28Speaker 1: know if he will or has. Dez has been screaming this.
- 20:33Speaker 1: He said it to me at the game a few
- 20:35Speaker 1: weeks ago, Washington game. He was down there and he
- 20:39Speaker 1: said it. He tweeted it out the other day too.
- 20:41Speaker 1: About you know that George needs to realize that a
- 20:46Speaker 1: few extra dollars here in this city is not going
- 20:50Speaker 1: to go as long as it would be right here.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Take the best deal the Cowboys can get and be
- 20:55Speaker 1: a Cowboy because it's better for you long term and
- 21:00Speaker 1: also even even currently. So we'll see, we'll see if
- 21:04Speaker 1: that's the case. But the agents are if you want
- 21:07Speaker 1: to sign them now that you know it's it's going
- 21:09Speaker 1: to be high, it's it's not going to be, you know,
- 21:12Speaker 1: a great deal. So I think that they do franchise
- 21:15Speaker 1: them and then from there maybe they work out a deal.
- 21:17Speaker 1: We'll see how the season plays out though as well.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Let's go to break real quick on Cowboys storyline. I'll
- 21:22Speaker 1: be right back after this.

- 23:38Speaker 6: We should be at school soon, right? You know you
- 23:41Speaker 6: come inday?
- 23:42Speaker 1: That that was discussed this morning that maybe Wednesday's show
- 23:47Speaker 1: might be one I thought about Monday or Tuesday. But
- 23:52Speaker 1: if it was Monday or Tuesday, it wouldn't be just Jacob.
- 23:55Speaker 1: They would be the little five year old and she
- 23:58Speaker 1: would steal the show and she would ever want to
- 24:00Speaker 1: get off the ball and see. And I don't know
- 24:02Speaker 1: if that's going to be the best plan. Wednesday. We
- 24:06Speaker 1: might get old curly curly hair Jacob. You know, he's
- 24:09Speaker 1: got a perm now, so.
- 24:10Speaker 16: You know, we'll say he's eleven, now he's ten.
- 24:13Speaker 1: He's ten, So we'll see if I can get screech
- 24:16Speaker 1: on the show. He doesn't even know the reference, but
- 24:19Speaker 1: it's I do good, you do, but he doesn't, which
- 24:22Speaker 1: is funny. All right, what do you got?
- 24:25Speaker 16: Speaking of body Carpenter man, I had such high hopes
- 24:28Speaker 16: for that kid. You know, the first talk so good
- 24:32Speaker 16: about him, like he's one of my kind of guys,
- 24:35Speaker 16: you know, just I always had expectations that he was
- 24:38Speaker 16: going to be good.
- 24:39Speaker 5: That man was just the trash man.
- 24:41Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna tell the story. I'm
- 24:44Speaker 1: gonna tell the story because I wrote it in the
- 24:46Speaker 1: book about him.
- 24:48Speaker 16: I read it, and I'll let you tell it. Off
- 24:50Speaker 16: the air and give my score production in case I
- 24:52Speaker 16: can't get a get in there, get in again. I
- 24:55Speaker 16: think it's gonna be thirty three twenty eight.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Cowboys always Cowboys win.
- 25:03Speaker 16: All right, all right, we'll talk later the story again there.
- 25:05Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I always I always had a hard
- 25:09Speaker 1: time with this one because I mean it's not nice
- 25:13Speaker 1: at all. But I mean it was told to me
- 25:16Speaker 1: by a couple of scouts and it was just it's funny.
- 25:19Speaker 1: But you know, Parcels obviously coached in the eighties with
- 25:25Speaker 1: you know, with the Giants, and he had a running
- 25:27Speaker 1: back early in the eighties, uh name Rob Carpenter. Full back.
- 25:32Speaker 1: He was your hunter lipkey type, you know. I mean
- 25:35Speaker 1: he was that. He probably a little bit more of
- 25:36Speaker 1: a bruiser. This is the eighties, you know, big, big,
- 25:39Speaker 1: tough running back. You know, just could do whatever, pick
- 25:43Speaker 1: up the blitz, catch the ball, get those extra tough yards.
- 25:46Speaker 1: It's just one of those tough football players, you know.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Rob Carpenter, Well, his son Bobby Carpenter played it, played
- 25:54Speaker 1: at uh Ohio State and played with a j Hawk
- 25:56Speaker 1: and they were really good, you know, together, those those
- 25:59Speaker 1: guys flying around the ball. I was just good. He
- 26:01Speaker 1: was a good college player, and so anyways, I think
- 26:04Speaker 1: after they drafted him a year into the draft, I
- 26:06Speaker 1: think Parcels was doing some complaining in a meeting room
- 26:09Speaker 1: at training camp about him and just not very good
- 26:13Speaker 1: and thought he would be better and all this stuff,
- 26:15Speaker 1: and the scouts were like, well that was your guy, Bill,
- 26:19Speaker 1: I mean you you wanted him. You're the guy that
- 26:21Speaker 1: wanted him, stood on the table for him. Why are
- 26:23Speaker 1: you saying what are you saying to us for You're
- 26:25Speaker 1: the one that wanted him. He's a guy. Oh, I know.
- 26:28Speaker 1: It's like I thought I was getting his dad, ended
- 26:30Speaker 1: up getting his mom, and so what could you say?
- 26:36Speaker 1: All Right, he's actually doing really good on the on
- 26:39Speaker 1: the TV. If you've ever seen Bobby carpent draft forgot
- 26:41Speaker 1: where they have him now, I've seen a couple of
- 26:42Speaker 1: times he's actually he's really good at that. But yeah,
- 26:45Speaker 1: he wasn't just wasn't ever a great player there. All right,
- 26:49Speaker 1: let's go Joe Casey. Joe is in Kansas City.
- 26:52Speaker 17: Good morning, Nick Cary doing today, sir?
- 26:54Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 26:55Speaker 17: I'm doing real good, sir.
- 26:56Speaker 7: Hey.
- 26:57Speaker 17: I was gonna ask you, who do you think he's
- 26:59Speaker 17: going to be the strong always with the defense. Now
- 27:01Speaker 17: is it gonna be cue the new guy or do
- 27:04Speaker 17: you think it'll be over shown? I mean, kind of
- 27:06Speaker 17: lead them, you know, get them all set up.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Or yeah, you know that that's a good question. I mean,
- 27:13Speaker 1: But whoever it is needs to be a badass player,
- 27:17Speaker 1: you know. I mean, like being a leader is you
- 27:21Speaker 1: can't you can't just be average. You can't give up
- 27:23Speaker 1: plays yourself, you know, so if you're gonna be the
- 27:25Speaker 1: vocal leader of it. So that's why it's it's it's
- 27:30Speaker 1: not as easy as people think of, Oh who's the leader?
- 27:33Speaker 1: You have to be really really good, you know. And
- 27:36Speaker 1: so when you think of leaders, like in the NFL,
- 27:39Speaker 1: like it seems like two guys always come to mind
- 27:41Speaker 1: the most, right, I mean, it seems like it's always
- 27:44Speaker 1: Michael Irv and Ray Lewis type. Well, they were really good.
- 27:48Speaker 1: So when they're yelling and barking at the at their teammates,
- 27:51Speaker 1: they're also making plays. Not gonna name names, but we've
- 27:55Speaker 1: had a couple of guys here when I was here
- 27:57Speaker 1: that tried to be the leader in like okay, but
- 28:00Speaker 1: you know you give up plays too, like you're not
- 28:02Speaker 1: that good. So it's hard to be that leader. So anyways,
- 28:05Speaker 1: whoever it is has got to be backing it up.
- 28:07Speaker 1: And you know, maybe it is Quinnon Williams. I mean,
- 28:09Speaker 1: maybe he can be that that that type of guy.
- 28:12Speaker 17: True, well, I have one oddball question for you. It's
- 28:16Speaker 17: kind of off the wall, so have you what's up?
- 28:20Speaker 1: Let's bring it. I mean, if I played baseball, I'd
- 28:22Speaker 1: be a left fielder because I mean everything I say
- 28:24Speaker 1: comes from left field.
- 28:25Speaker 4: So let's I hear you.
- 28:27Speaker 17: Anyway, this one's kind of strange.
- 28:29Speaker 7: The only one I know.
- 28:29Speaker 17: That did this was Sean Payton because and it was
- 28:32Speaker 17: after halftime at the Super Bowl. I was wondering if
- 28:35Speaker 17: anybody ever did an on side kick at the beginning
- 28:39Speaker 17: of the game to get the advantage so that they
- 28:42Speaker 17: could have the the second half as well. Do you
- 28:45Speaker 17: know anybody that has done that in our league?
- 28:48Speaker 1: Well, you know, since we're playing the Eagles, thanks for
- 28:51Speaker 1: the call. Since we're playing the Eagles, I think we'll
- 28:53Speaker 1: bring that up. They they did that. I mean in
- 28:58Speaker 1: two thousand, first game of the season, Dave Campo's very
- 29:01Speaker 1: first game, Andy Reid and the Eagles come in here
- 29:05Speaker 1: and do it on side kick and got it and
- 29:08Speaker 1: ended up winning forty one to fourteen in the hottest
- 29:11Speaker 1: game in the history of Texas Stadium. And it was
- 29:13Speaker 1: and in one of the worst games ever you could
- 29:15Speaker 1: think of to start a season, and that was you know,
- 29:20Speaker 1: that wasn't good. But they tried it again too, and
- 29:23Speaker 1: when Parcels got here, they tried to do the same
- 29:26Speaker 1: thing and started the game with an on side kick,
- 29:30Speaker 1: and the Cowboys got it. Randall Williams picked it up
- 29:34Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown and it's claimed to be the
- 29:37Speaker 1: fastest touchdown in the history of the NFL because it
- 29:40Speaker 1: was like three seconds. He was a forty two yard touchdown.
- 29:43Speaker 1: So I don't think he's running three seconds. I think
- 29:44Speaker 1: the guy didn't hit the button early enough because he
- 29:47Speaker 1: didn't assume that you know, they were gonna get the
- 29:49Speaker 1: ball either way, the Cowboys were ready for it. I
- 29:51Speaker 1: think the Cowboys have started a game with an on
- 29:54Speaker 1: side kick. I want to say in Tennessee Christmas Night
- 29:57Speaker 1: in two thousand, maybe that's same season they started the
- 30:01Speaker 1: game with an on side kick and got it. Didn't help.
- 30:04Speaker 1: They lost thirty one to nothing, So it had to
- 30:07Speaker 1: have been they did an on say kick. It had
- 30:09Speaker 1: been to start the game because they didn't kick off again.
- 30:11Speaker 1: So yeah, I think the Cowboys have tried it before,
- 30:14Speaker 1: and I know what's happened to them a couple of times,
- 30:16Speaker 1: and I think other teams around the league have done it.
- 30:18Speaker 1: But I can't do that now. I mean now, you
- 30:21Speaker 1: can't do a surprise on sidekick. You have to set
- 30:24Speaker 1: up for it, so you wouldn't be surprising anybody. All right,
- 30:29Speaker 1: let's go to Katie and Henderson, Nevada. So we're just
- 30:32Speaker 1: passing the phone around here, Katie, what's up? How are
- 30:36Speaker 1: you good?
- 30:38Speaker 13: Just talking about so my dad just called. He was
- 30:40Speaker 13: so punned to get through, and I'm listening at my house.
- 30:44Speaker 1: You bought Okay, So you guys aren't together. You guys
- 30:46Speaker 1: are sitting at different places.
- 30:48Speaker 7: All right, that's right.
- 30:50Speaker 13: So yeah, like we like to sit and listen to
- 30:52Speaker 13: the podcast and then call each other and talk about
- 30:54Speaker 13: the podcast, just like we do on Sundays. So yeah,
- 30:58Speaker 13: once again, just.
- 30:59Speaker 16: Reiterate with my dad.
- 31:00Speaker 13: It was so special meeting you the other day. You're
- 31:02Speaker 13: so nice, and meeting Derek and Ambar from the break
- 31:05Speaker 13: was awesome for us. So it just really made our
- 31:07Speaker 13: experience so special.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you guys were You guys were great, and
- 31:12Speaker 1: I'm sure you enjoyed the game because it was a
- 31:14Speaker 1: lot of fun, a lot of emotion, a lot of great,
- 31:16Speaker 1: big plays. So it was fun. You know, everybody needed that, everybody,
- 31:20Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys, Sure, the Raiders need to win,
- 31:22Speaker 1: but you know, well you can worry about that on
- 31:24Speaker 1: Raiders storyline, but the Cowboys, this team, this fan base,
- 31:27Speaker 1: you guys needed something to smile about. And that's you know,
- 31:31Speaker 1: that's what Marshall and Neiland did all the time. He
- 31:34Speaker 1: was always smiling and it was great that that wind
- 31:36Speaker 1: let everybody kind of kind of have some smiles for
- 31:39Speaker 1: a little bit. So it was fun.
- 31:42Speaker 5: Yeah, we were talking about how it put it in perspective.
- 31:44Speaker 13: You know, we're not having a great season, so if
- 31:45Speaker 13: we had, we're having a great season and we beat
- 31:47Speaker 13: the Raiders, we'd be like, oh whatever, But this this
- 31:49Speaker 13: was a lift. It really gave us, yeah, a moment
- 31:53Speaker 13: that we needed for sure. So talking about you know,
- 31:56Speaker 13: signing Pickens and how expensive that will be, it seems
- 31:59Speaker 13: like like the Chiefs and then you know the Patriots
- 32:02Speaker 13: under Tom Brady, they found me leave to structure their contracts.
- 32:05Speaker 13: So these star players could stay happy while we still
- 32:08Speaker 13: have like they have like that cap flexibility and they
- 32:10Speaker 13: have a deeper, you know, competitive roster. But like what
- 32:13Speaker 13: what do the Cowboys need to do? You know, what's
- 32:16Speaker 13: just they need to make like contract philosophy or you know,
- 32:20Speaker 13: roster construction so that we can have that like wins
- 32:23Speaker 13: the same team friendly deals that doesn't alienate these like
- 32:26Speaker 13: core players.
- 32:27Speaker 1: No, that's a that's a great question. That's that's that's
- 32:30Speaker 1: what every GM, every capologist from the you know, from
- 32:33Speaker 1: the NFL team, That's what they set up late at
- 32:36Speaker 1: night trying to figure out. That's that's the biggest question
- 32:39Speaker 1: is how do you how do you to you know,
- 32:43Speaker 1: work the salary cap to your advantage and and the
- 32:46Speaker 1: biggest thing you have to do is draft well, because
- 32:49Speaker 1: if you draft well, then you're getting cheap players that
- 32:54Speaker 1: that are good players quickly, you know, you know, draft
- 32:57Speaker 1: and develop, but they have to be good from the start.
- 33:00Speaker 1: So because that's that's how you you know, now you
- 33:02Speaker 1: can keep trading for guys doctor Cowboys have done, but
- 33:05Speaker 1: they're trading for contracts. It's not it's not always a
- 33:08Speaker 1: great a great situation. So it's it's not easy. You know,
- 33:13Speaker 1: and not that many players do what you just said
- 33:15Speaker 1: about taking less, you know, money and all that Brady
- 33:19Speaker 1: did that that was at Brady's point in his career
- 33:22Speaker 1: where you know, he he was he was chasing a
- 33:26Speaker 1: different thing. You know, he was trying to get get
- 33:28Speaker 1: those rings and all that. And maybe Mahomes is at
- 33:30Speaker 1: that point too, But that's not where a lot of
- 33:32Speaker 1: the players are. It's not where Dak was. So uh,
- 33:35Speaker 1: it's it Usually it doesn't really happen that often where
- 33:39Speaker 1: players take less money to go to go win. That's
- 33:41Speaker 1: not that's not a normal thing. So all right, all right, well,
- 33:48Speaker 1: great to hear from you. And and I'll say your
- 33:50Speaker 1: dad and we got to I'm about to say, I
- 33:53Speaker 1: was about to say, you're on it. Christ's say, hey,
- 33:55Speaker 1: we got to get for that first time caller as well.
- 33:57Speaker 1: So it got two first time callers, both from Henderson, Nevada,
- 34:02Speaker 1: both from the same family, and uh, you know, both
- 34:05Speaker 1: with with really good, good questions and good points. All Right,
- 34:08Speaker 1: we're gonna stay on the West coast or that Pacific region,
- 34:12Speaker 1: I guess. So in Arizona Jr. And Avondale, Arizona Jr.
- 34:17Speaker 6: Good morning, Nick House. Anything in Dallas.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Good, how are you well?
- 34:21Speaker 6: Doing good? Getting better every day? So anyway, we talk
- 34:25Speaker 6: about the Eagles game. So first of all, say Hunter Lipkey,
- 34:28Speaker 6: I know we kind of talked about it earlier, but
- 34:31Speaker 6: I like to see more of him. I think his uh,
- 34:34Speaker 6: his two those are two huge plays that he had,
- 34:37Speaker 6: his two catches, especially the one that set up the touchdown.
- 34:41Speaker 6: So I need to see more of him, and kind
- 34:46Speaker 6: of want to talk about the Eagles passing game. The
- 34:49Speaker 6: first game, they had one exposive play and that was
- 34:52Speaker 6: Brown getting over the top on Elam get a good
- 34:55Speaker 6: job against Smith and A J. Brown. So I see
- 35:00Speaker 6: them double double Smith because I think he's a that
- 35:05Speaker 6: over the top threat. I don't think a J. Brown
- 35:09Speaker 6: is going to run by people like he used to.
- 35:12Speaker 6: I think we single cover him and be physical with
- 35:14Speaker 6: him because he'll get frustrated and go sit on the
- 35:16Speaker 6: bench and read a book or something. So worried about
- 35:19Speaker 6: that guy. So, Dallas Goddard, he had seven catches in
- 35:24Speaker 6: the first game, and every time they needed to play
- 35:26Speaker 6: he made it. And if you watched the Eagles play,
- 35:29Speaker 6: and he makes that play all the time when they
- 35:32Speaker 6: need it. So do you think we may see doan
- 35:37Speaker 6: Bland covering him kind of like they did with Rock Dowers,
- 35:41Speaker 6: or what do you think they can do there to
- 35:43Speaker 6: shut down Dallas Godard Because I think he's he's going
- 35:46Speaker 6: to be a key to this game.
- 35:47Speaker 1: And that's all I got, brother, have a great day
- 35:50Speaker 1: in go count thank you. That's what That's what makes
- 35:54Speaker 1: him so good is that is that he's not their
- 35:57Speaker 1: top player. You know, if you want to, you want
- 35:59Speaker 1: to take brock Bauers, you you can say, you know,
- 36:02Speaker 1: I'll put a corner on him. You know, I'll put
- 36:05Speaker 1: I'll put a really good corner because they don't have
- 36:07Speaker 1: a ton of other options you're worried about. That's not
- 36:09Speaker 1: the case with the Eagles, And you know, the minute
- 36:12Speaker 1: that you dismiss AJ Brown, I feel like there's a
- 36:16Speaker 1: two hundred yard game coming or something like that. I mean,
- 36:19Speaker 1: the guys, he's a really good player. I don't know
- 36:22Speaker 1: what's happening there. And it kind of worries me a
- 36:28Speaker 1: little bit when you when we've talked about George Pickens
- 36:31Speaker 1: and signing him and all that, because that's sort of
- 36:34Speaker 1: what they did. You know, they they had Aj Brown
- 36:36Speaker 1: big contract and then DeVante got paid. You know, really
- 36:39Speaker 1: well too, And so you get to two guys that
- 36:42Speaker 1: are getting paid, you know, twenty six million a year
- 36:45Speaker 1: or something like that, and I mean at least twenty
- 36:48Speaker 1: six I think that's what what what DeVante got. Aj
- 36:51Speaker 1: Brown's in the thirties, like thirty one or whatever. But
- 36:54Speaker 1: you get that kind of money, you want the ball
- 36:56Speaker 1: and you just can't. You can't get that. He also
- 36:58Speaker 1: had a two thousand yard rusher, you know, and you
- 37:01Speaker 1: have and then they get to the one, two three
- 37:04Speaker 1: yard line they're just gonna push it in. So you're
- 37:06Speaker 1: not gonna get a lot of touchdowns anyways. But to
- 37:10Speaker 1: answer your question about Goddard, I mean, he's just so
- 37:12Speaker 1: tough because you can't. You know, you have to worry
- 37:14Speaker 1: about these other guys. You have to worry about the
- 37:16Speaker 1: deep ball, you have to worry about Barkley, you have
- 37:17Speaker 1: to worry about Jalen Hurts running, and then what do
- 37:19Speaker 1: you know, there's Dallas Dallas Garter Goddard. Got to say
- 37:22Speaker 1: his name, right, Dallas Goddard just running through and making
- 37:26Speaker 1: plays and so that that's what a good offense has,
- 37:28Speaker 1: and that's what the Cowboys are trying to get to
- 37:30Speaker 1: as well. You know, who you want to take away?
- 37:32Speaker 1: Which which receiver? Which back? When you got Turpen flying
- 37:35Speaker 1: around here, next thing you know, Jake Ferguson's over the middle,
- 37:37Speaker 1: wide open with a touchdown in the middle of the
- 37:40Speaker 1: field because of you got other players. So you know,
- 37:42Speaker 1: it's a problem for opposing teams. It's a problem for
- 37:45Speaker 1: the Eagles. I mean for teams that are trying to
- 37:48Speaker 1: stop the Eagles. All right, let's go to Ronnie in
- 37:50Speaker 1: New Jersey.
- 37:51Speaker 6: Hey, how you doing, Nick?
- 37:52Speaker 1: Good? How are you good?
- 37:54Speaker 6: Good? Uh?
- 37:55Speaker 12: Nick?
- 37:55Speaker 6: I had a question. I was I was wondering when
- 37:57Speaker 6: when Diggs was coming back, and if he was to
- 38:01Speaker 6: come back this year, what will you do? Because I
- 38:04Speaker 6: mean Carlson, Carson, Kaitlin, he's looking good and and and Rebel.
- 38:11Speaker 6: Look for a guy that had an a c L
- 38:13Speaker 6: it's been out for a year. He looked really good.
- 38:15Speaker 6: And I wasn't expecting that he looked really good in
- 38:18Speaker 6: that game. I get it as the Raiders, but he
- 38:21Speaker 6: looked good as the way he was moving, he look good.
- 38:24Speaker 6: And so Carson is man that guy has he's hitting people.
- 38:29Speaker 6: I mean that guy that that's what we need. We
- 38:32Speaker 6: need guys that are tough mentally tough and they hit
- 38:36Speaker 6: like that. That kind of makes it, you know, the
- 38:39Speaker 6: rest of the team gets decided. I get a sited
- 38:41Speaker 6: at my house in the living room. I'm like, I'm
- 38:43Speaker 6: jumping up and down. I'm like, yeah, so so, yeah,
- 38:47Speaker 6: so what was happening with Diggs if he comes back?
- 38:49Speaker 6: Because I wouldn't say any of these two young guys.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Yeah you think, all right, well, thanks thanks for the call.
- 38:56Speaker 1: And this is one of the biggest dilemmas that that
- 38:59Speaker 1: just ahead scratcher that nobody seems to have a good
- 39:03Speaker 1: understanding of what's going on. You know, Diggs is eligible
- 39:07Speaker 1: to come back next week. He could, he could play,
- 39:10Speaker 1: he could play the game with the Chiefs. There's some
- 39:16Speaker 1: in the building that I'll say he's he's played his
- 39:18Speaker 1: last snap with the Cowboys. There's others that will say, well,
- 39:21Speaker 1: we'll see how it happens. It's up to him. There's
- 39:23Speaker 1: something going on between Digs and and and the people
- 39:29Speaker 1: behind the scenes and how hard he's working or not working,
- 39:32Speaker 1: and how he handles rehab, you know, with with his
- 39:35Speaker 1: you know, injuries and things like that. And then there's
- 39:39Speaker 1: there's clauses in the contract about that they could get
- 39:42Speaker 1: money back based off of him, you know, because of
- 39:45Speaker 1: the injuries. And I don't know. What I know is
- 39:49Speaker 1: that when he covers people, man demand, he's pretty good.
- 39:52Speaker 1: He's pretty good. And and with with this defensive pressure
- 39:56Speaker 1: that we saw the other night, that they can continue that,
- 39:58Speaker 1: I think it would make him better. I think he
- 40:01Speaker 1: makes Bland better. So where do you play him? You asked?
- 40:05Speaker 1: You play him right there at the best ride receiver
- 40:07Speaker 1: that lines up, and you go up and say, cover
- 40:09Speaker 1: him because he's the best cover guy you want when
- 40:12Speaker 1: he wants to cover, when he wants to play, and
- 40:14Speaker 1: when he wants to cover. But when that is I'm
- 40:17Speaker 1: not sure. And I know it's my job to try
- 40:21Speaker 1: to answer questions, but nobody in this building knows what's
- 40:24Speaker 1: going on with Trayvon Diggs. They just don't. And I
- 40:28Speaker 1: don't know. I wish I did, because I wish he
- 40:31Speaker 1: was out there covering people because the Cowboys are better
- 40:34Speaker 1: when that happens. But for why that it's not happening,
- 40:38Speaker 1: and if it happens again, I wish I had an answer,
- 40:40Speaker 1: but I don't. But we are going to go to
- 40:42Speaker 1: break right here on Cowboys story that I'll be right
- 40:44Speaker 1: back after this.

- 41:58Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Cowboys Story. I'm presented by Lett.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone lines Erwin and Colorado. He's
- 42:03Speaker 1: been holding Irwin. What's up?
- 42:05Speaker 7: Good morning, Nick? How are you?
- 42:07Speaker 1: I'm good? You just play your name with an E
- 42:09Speaker 1: or an I.
- 42:10Speaker 11: It's with an e. It's kind of where it's a
- 42:12Speaker 11: it's actually a German name. It's the way it's spelled
- 42:15Speaker 11: in Germany.
- 42:15Speaker 6: Believe it or not.
- 42:17Speaker 1: No, you know what, that's the way Chris always writes it.
- 42:20Speaker 1: So I yeah, he always writes that way. But there's
- 42:23Speaker 1: a few people that just kind of I'm always like you,
- 42:25Speaker 1: how do you Maybe we're not saying this or are
- 42:28Speaker 1: spelling it right? But good to know? All right, good?
- 42:31Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
- 42:31Speaker 7: So just a couple of things, Nick.
- 42:33Speaker 11: I know, last week we talked about who who would
- 42:35Speaker 11: make the biggest difference, Quinn Williams or like Sauce Gardner,
- 42:38Speaker 11: and I think we both kind of agreed, and I
- 42:40Speaker 11: think a lot of people have Obviously, Quinn Williams, you
- 42:43Speaker 11: know what, did what he did, and I just don't
- 42:45Speaker 11: believe that South Gardner would have ever put that kind
- 42:48Speaker 11: of you know, performance out there like that to change
- 42:51Speaker 11: the game and make the defense look as good as
- 42:53Speaker 11: it did. And the other thing people been kind of
- 42:57Speaker 11: talking about Diggs and as anybody really thought or you
- 43:01Speaker 11: thought about possibly, I know he's kind of kissed the
- 43:03Speaker 11: Cowboys off, probably like Mark Cooper probably did. But moving
- 43:08Speaker 11: him to possibly safety. The guy's got good ball skills,
- 43:11Speaker 11: got good range, height, and I don't know if that
- 43:14Speaker 11: can salvage his career with the Cowboys or not. But
- 43:16Speaker 11: I want to get your thoughts on that.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Oh man, you're not gonna get You're not going to
- 43:20Speaker 1: get my thoughts on that. No, I don't think that's
- 43:27Speaker 1: a good idea. I really don't. Okay, What Digs does
- 43:34Speaker 1: the best is cover and that's what you need from
- 43:37Speaker 1: your cornerback to do. It's not always about communication and
- 43:41Speaker 1: all that. This guy doesn't talk much. He's not He's
- 43:44Speaker 1: communication isn't good. The Cowys didn't know where he was
- 43:47Speaker 1: all off season. Part of being a safety is doing
- 43:50Speaker 1: that right, is communication? Getting people lined up right? That's
- 43:55Speaker 1: not going to be his thing. What's the other knock
- 43:57Speaker 1: that on Digs a lot is tackling. You got to
- 44:01Speaker 1: go hit people at safety and I and I've never
- 44:05Speaker 1: had a problem with what Trayvon does because he plays
- 44:08Speaker 1: corner and he does that and he's he's not very big,
- 44:10Speaker 1: and he you know, just go I don't need you
- 44:13Speaker 1: to go be you know Rod Woodson from the Steelers.
- 44:15Speaker 1: I need you to just cover your guy, so, you know,
- 44:20Speaker 1: line getting people lined up, knowing where you're supposed to
- 44:23Speaker 1: be understanding, Okay, now we're we're gonna blitz here. So
- 44:27Speaker 1: now this guy's got him and he's gonna slide over
- 44:30Speaker 1: and all. No, no, no, that's why he's not really
- 44:32Speaker 1: been that great in zone. He's more of a cover corner.
- 44:35Speaker 1: That's what he does. So I think from a from
- 44:37Speaker 1: a communication and physicality standpoint, that's what you need from
- 44:42Speaker 1: your safeties. I think a lot of people kind of
- 44:44Speaker 1: think over the years that if you're if you're a
- 44:47Speaker 1: corner that's lost a step, maybe you just slide in there.
- 44:51Speaker 10: You know.
- 44:52Speaker 1: It's the same with like a tackle, like offensive tackle. Well,
- 44:55Speaker 1: you know, it's not what he used to be. Maybe
- 44:57Speaker 1: he just plays guard, you know, and maybe he could,
- 45:00Speaker 1: but it has to be because that's for the right
- 45:03Speaker 1: reasons of it. So I said I wouldn't give you
- 45:05Speaker 1: an answer, and I did. I just don't think that's
- 45:07Speaker 1: a good fit for him. I think he's a corner.
- 45:09Speaker 1: I think he's a cover corner, and I think he's
- 45:11Speaker 1: a good one when he wants to play. I just
- 45:12Speaker 1: don't know when that always is. I would love to
- 45:14Speaker 1: see him back this year. I would love to see
- 45:16Speaker 1: him playing a lot of manned man defense opposite of
- 45:20Speaker 1: Bland like this. Revel can get in there at Carson,
- 45:24Speaker 1: those guys can get in there. But i'd like to
- 45:26Speaker 1: see him with this defense. I don't know if it'll happen.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Let's go to Brad in l A'll be our last caller. Brad,
- 45:30Speaker 1: what's up?
- 45:32Speaker 6: I'm good?
- 45:32Speaker 1: How good? It's been a little bit, right.
- 45:36Speaker 20: It's been about a year. Yeah, and it's crazy. I
- 45:39Speaker 20: had pretty much where one was about Diggs, So I
- 45:42Speaker 20: guess we'll just move on from that because it was
- 45:44Speaker 20: about safety as well.
- 45:45Speaker 11: You answered that.
- 45:46Speaker 1: That's my that's my opinion, you know, I agree. Yeah,
- 45:50Speaker 1: and some corners have done it. I mean, you know,
- 45:53Speaker 1: I've seen it happen. Doesn't happen a lot, but you know,
- 45:57Speaker 1: it takes. It's more. It's more than just the just
- 46:01Speaker 1: lining up back there. I mean, I don't know if
- 46:03Speaker 1: his body type and his skill site as skill set,
- 46:06Speaker 1: I don't think he's fit for safety in my opin, I.
- 46:09Speaker 8: Agree, I agree.
- 46:11Speaker 20: My My second question was, I know the defense is
- 46:14Speaker 20: kind of starting to maybe jail, but I know there's
- 46:17Speaker 20: still a possibility that we might move on from eber Flues.
- 46:20Speaker 20: If we did, what defensive coordinator would you like to see?
- 46:25Speaker 20: And are you a fan of Rex Ryan sliding in
- 46:26Speaker 20: that position?
- 46:28Speaker 1: Uh no, not really a feel of that. But but
- 46:34Speaker 1: let's let's let's wait on eber Flues. Let's just see.
- 46:38Speaker 1: Let's just see how it goes here. Let's see if
- 46:40Speaker 1: we can, you know, see this defense get off the
- 46:42Speaker 1: field a little bit more. See if they can beat
- 46:44Speaker 1: one of these teams and beat one of these really
- 46:46Speaker 1: good quarterbacks. Then you can go back and go. You
- 46:49Speaker 1: know what, he needed some players, He needed some players,
- 46:53Speaker 1: and he didn't need you to trade his best player
- 46:55Speaker 1: right before the start of the season, when he was
- 46:57Speaker 1: going all off season planning to have this kind of defense.
- 47:01Speaker 1: And now the next thing, you know, boom, you don't
- 47:03Speaker 1: have digs. I mean, you don't have parsons, you don't
- 47:06Speaker 1: have digs. For most of the time, you know, you
- 47:08Speaker 1: didn't have overshown and all that. So let's see when
- 47:10Speaker 1: you got some of these pieces in just how good
- 47:13Speaker 1: this did. He can be a great defensive coordinator because
- 47:15Speaker 1: he has but you know so, but I'm and I'm
- 47:19Speaker 1: not comfortable with with talking about possible replacements when he's
- 47:23Speaker 1: here asked every day and night to try to get
- 47:28Speaker 1: this thing better. When it doesn't happen and they move on.
- 47:31Speaker 1: If that happens, then we'll talk replacement.
- 47:34Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, another one.
- 47:36Speaker 20: Yeah, one last question. I know it's early, just like it,
- 47:38Speaker 20: you know, talking about eber flu. But I know it's
- 47:40Speaker 20: I know this year isn't over, but it's kind of
- 47:42Speaker 20: you know, I know, I see a lot of people
- 47:43Speaker 20: online that are kind of already getting excited about next year.
- 47:47Speaker 20: I know the draft is coming up, and I know
- 47:49Speaker 20: it's a very deep draft. It's kind of a two
- 47:51Speaker 20: part question. How do you think we'll go first round
- 47:54Speaker 20: offense or defense? And who do you like coming out
- 47:56Speaker 20: of the first round for us with either pick?
- 47:59Speaker 1: Yeah? Well all right, thanks Brat. You know I'm not
- 48:01Speaker 1: I'm not huge on being a draft guy. You haven't
- 48:05Speaker 1: seen me on the draft show things like that. We
- 48:07Speaker 1: have people that do that, they study it. They love it.
- 48:10Speaker 1: It's the passion in them. It's not really for me.
- 48:13Speaker 1: I think it's tough, you know. I think it's it's very,
- 48:16Speaker 1: very difficult to evaluate players when you're trying to play
- 48:20Speaker 1: catch up. You know, these scouts have been doing it
- 48:22Speaker 1: for two to three years that they you know, they've
- 48:23Speaker 1: been following these guys. So to come in here and
- 48:26Speaker 1: watch a guy for three three games and the cut
- 48:29Speaker 1: up and to say well he can do this and that,
- 48:32Speaker 1: you know, I think it's it's it's difficult to do.
- 48:35Speaker 1: So I'm not I'm not a big fan of that.
- 48:38Speaker 1: I'll say this. I can talk about what the needs
- 48:40Speaker 1: would be and as it stands right now, Yeah, you
- 48:43Speaker 1: would love to see a pass rusher that can really
- 48:45Speaker 1: come in here and do some stuff. Maybe a corner,
- 48:47Speaker 1: you know, depending on what you've got, you know, at
- 48:50Speaker 1: corner and linebacker. Safety. You know, safety could be one
- 48:54Speaker 1: where the guys that are starting right now may not
- 48:57Speaker 1: be on the team next year. I'm so there's you.
- 49:00Speaker 1: You've got questions all across the defense. On offense, if
- 49:05Speaker 1: an offensive tackle is there in the first round, that
- 49:09Speaker 1: would be better than what you have that I'm for it.
- 49:11Speaker 1: I mean I would definitely do it and just figure
- 49:14Speaker 1: it out. So that would be one where I would
- 49:16Speaker 1: say that, And then I don't know about running back.
- 49:18Speaker 1: Running back's gonna be tough. I mean, I know there's
- 49:19Speaker 1: a guy Notreed Dame that everyone loves. But the thing
- 49:23Speaker 1: about it is, you know, Rico Dalla went for a
- 49:26Speaker 1: thousand yards undrafted, and then Davonte Williams nobody wanted him.
- 49:30Speaker 1: They got him for you know what, three million a year,
- 49:32Speaker 1: and he's he's gonna have He's he might make the
- 49:35Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. So I think it's going to be a
- 49:37Speaker 1: tough sell to say, do we need a first round
- 49:39Speaker 1: pick on a running back? I mean, like it's it's working,
- 49:43Speaker 1: you know what they're doing right now. So I'd be
- 49:46Speaker 1: fine with offensive tackle though the first round. But we'll see.
- 49:49Speaker 1: I still think one of those two picks will get
- 49:51Speaker 1: moved to go backwards because you do not have a
- 49:53Speaker 1: second and a third as it stands right now, and
- 49:55Speaker 1: I think that's I don't know. Cowboys are going to
- 49:57Speaker 1: show up on Friday of the draft and then they'd
- 49:59Speaker 1: like to have a pick. So I'll be surprised if
- 50:01Speaker 1: they don't move one of those first rounders to get
- 50:04Speaker 1: you know, to get backwards to do that. All right,
- 50:06Speaker 1: But that's that's for April next April. That's next year.
- 50:09Speaker 1: We're still talking about the Eagles, and we'll talk about
- 50:12Speaker 1: that and wrap up the week of shows. We'll do
- 50:14Speaker 1: it tomorrow on Cowboys storyline for Chris Beam. I'm nick
- 50:16Speaker 1: even see it in.
- 50:18Speaker 2: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 50:21Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
