- 0:08Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:15Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I am Nick Eatman,
- 0:31Speaker 1: and man, it feels good to talk about a win.
- 0:33Speaker 1: It's been a long time, like early October since the
- 0:36Speaker 1: Cowboys got a victory, but that changed last week and
- 0:39Speaker 1: went to Washington knocked off the Commanders thirty four twenty six.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Probably the craziest game I've ever seen. Uh, there's been
- 0:48Speaker 1: some wild ones, but from a back and forth standpoint
- 0:52Speaker 1: of highs and lows and just wild plays that happened
- 0:57Speaker 1: all in the span of five minutes. Can you imagine
- 1:00Speaker 1: Can you imagine those people that were like I thought,
- 1:02Speaker 1: I saw the Cowboys, I saw Schoonmaker with that touchdown,
- 1:04Speaker 1: so I turned it off. I had to go do
- 1:06Speaker 1: some things. I'm sure they won, right and you're like,
- 1:08Speaker 1: oh my god, you missed missed four other touchdowns. Crazy game.
- 1:13Speaker 1: But we'll talk about that, We'll talk about the Giants
- 1:16Speaker 1: coming up here and you know, on Thanksgiving here Thursday.
- 1:19Speaker 1: To quick turnaround. Obviously, that's probably a good thing for
- 1:24Speaker 1: the Cowboys, even though they have so many injuries though
- 1:27Speaker 1: to be able to go right back into this now.
- 1:29Speaker 1: The Giants are reeling as well. Dangerous team though. As
- 1:32Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, I think this is going to
- 1:34Speaker 1: be a dangerous game for the Cowboys. This could be
- 1:37Speaker 1: one one of their tougher ones, just because of what
- 1:41Speaker 1: I say all the time. Look at what Cleveland does
- 1:43Speaker 1: to the Steelers and Ravens. Look what the Cowboys did Washington.
- 1:46Speaker 1: You know, these division games like that, they know each other.
- 1:49Speaker 1: It's the second time that they faced him. You know,
- 1:52Speaker 1: the Giants look like that, They look like a train wreck.
- 1:54Speaker 1: But those are the ones that are the kind of
- 1:57Speaker 1: wounded animals that scare you. All right, eight a A eight,
- 1:59Speaker 1: five five nine seven. Let's talk about it. Let's go
- 2:02Speaker 1: right to it. We got Carolina. Are you back in Carolina?
- 2:06Speaker 1: Is that where you.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Once?
- 2:09Speaker 5: I third back in South Carolina, good old Columbia.
- 2:13Speaker 1: All right, Columbia, South Carolina. Carolina were all over the
- 2:16Speaker 1: map last week on the you know, driving driving that truck,
- 2:18Speaker 1: honking that horn. But now you're back.
- 2:21Speaker 5: I'm back, And the bad part is I've been back
- 2:24Speaker 5: since like Saturday, but I'm leaving out again today later on.
- 2:27Speaker 1: That's the life right there. But you always talk about
- 2:30Speaker 1: your your buddies or your friends that talk a lot
- 2:32Speaker 1: of noise. Were you doing the talking this week?
- 2:36Speaker 5: You know what, man, I actually came home to work.
- 2:38Speaker 5: I was working on my car. Me and my uncle
- 2:40Speaker 5: we worked on a car and we yelled and scream together.
- 2:43Speaker 5: He's actually Carolina Panther saying, so we were watching Red Zo.
- 2:47Speaker 5: I'm over here hoping he win. He hoping I win.
- 2:50Speaker 5: I'm like, we both having a hard season. We just
- 2:52Speaker 5: need to come out with a way today. Yeah, you know,
- 2:54Speaker 5: she stilled up with you know, two three seconds left
- 2:58Speaker 5: her his spirit. But I was happy, so I was, hey,
- 3:00Speaker 5: that ain't my problem.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Yeah, no, not not yet, not yet a couple of weeks.
- 3:03Speaker 1: It might be when the Cowboys go up there. I
- 3:05Speaker 1: don't think right I expecting that.
- 3:08Speaker 5: I'll say, oh, Manna, they're gonna try to put up
- 3:11Speaker 5: a fight.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I know what you like, what'd you see? What you
- 3:14Speaker 1: like in the game, or what's on your mind?
- 3:17Speaker 5: Okay, man, First man, we both agreed that three people
- 3:22Speaker 5: that need to have a breakout game, they all came
- 3:25Speaker 5: through and showed.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Up for us.
- 3:27Speaker 5: So I'm really excited about that. I just hope that
- 3:29Speaker 5: they can continue with that and they can transfer over
- 3:31Speaker 5: until this Thursday. Now, I don't believe what you believe.
- 3:37Speaker 5: I think that the Cowboys are gonna go on the road.
- 3:41Speaker 5: I'm not saying with them all, but I think rolling
- 3:44Speaker 5: into the Giants it's gonna be it's not gonna be
- 3:46Speaker 5: as close as you think.
- 3:47Speaker 6: Me.
- 3:48Speaker 5: I think they're gonna go in there and try to
- 3:50Speaker 5: show that, hey, look we're back on track, were dominant,
- 3:53Speaker 5: and we need to go in there and show what
- 3:55Speaker 5: the Cowboys is really about to lose them. Yeah, so yeah,
- 4:00Speaker 5: that's all go Cowboys. Man, Hey, how about them Cowboys?
- 4:06Speaker 1: All right? Thanks? Man, appreciate the call Carolina and Carolina
- 4:11Speaker 1: and other parts as well back home though. Appreciate what
- 4:15Speaker 1: you do getting on the road and hauling things around
- 4:19Speaker 1: for us. I just I hope I'm wrong too. I
- 4:23Speaker 1: mean about the Giants game. I just I just feel like,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and I've seen this before Thanksgiving. You know you're not
- 4:29Speaker 1: giving a chance. It's a short week. You gotta get
- 4:31Speaker 1: on the road. You you know that they had to
- 4:33Speaker 1: buy going into Tampa. But the finger pointing, just calling
- 4:39Speaker 1: each other soft or this and that that. The rookie
- 4:42Speaker 1: receiver Neighbors is talking about the head coach and or
- 4:46Speaker 1: not talking about the head coach, but basically just saying,
- 4:48Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, go ask him. I don't
- 4:50Speaker 1: know why I'm not getting the ball. I mean, it's
- 4:52Speaker 1: not a good situation that you know that they got
- 4:54Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito playing. But those are the games that you know,
- 4:58Speaker 1: you think, oh the Cowboys there, they turned the corner,
- 5:00Speaker 1: they figured it out, and we'll see, we'll see. There's
- 5:03Speaker 1: a reason why there's a four point spread on this
- 5:07Speaker 1: game too. I mean it's it's you know, they could
- 5:10Speaker 1: be it could be tighter than you think that. That's
- 5:12Speaker 1: what what I think, and and I feel like it
- 5:14Speaker 1: might be. But hope I'm wrong. Hope this is a
- 5:16Speaker 1: game that the Cowboys can, you know, get more players
- 5:18Speaker 1: back from injury. Brandy Brandon Cooks this week, maybe a
- 5:23Speaker 1: Tyler Smith. I'm not sure about Zach Martin or Jake
- 5:27Speaker 1: Ferguson those two. Probably not. Uh, it can be some
- 5:32Speaker 1: long shots for those two. Trayvon Diggs maybe maybe. So,
- 5:36Speaker 1: I mean, you get Cooks back, get Trayvon Diggs back
- 5:40Speaker 1: at corner, Tyler Smith probably for for Bass. I think
- 5:45Speaker 1: Hoffmann will still play. I'd right guard played pretty well
- 5:49Speaker 1: in that game too. All right, let's go to Uh,
- 5:51Speaker 1: I'm a in not by California. I'm a what's up?
- 5:55Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Nick? Are you feod man? I'm still
- 5:59Speaker 7: feeling good from a Sunday's victory and wanted to just
- 6:02Speaker 7: call in and share some of that. Yeah, I feel
- 6:06Speaker 7: I feel great, man. There's there's so many levels and
- 6:09Speaker 7: things I can always talk about with the Cowboys. I
- 6:12Speaker 7: feel like I could just go on and on with you,
- 6:14Speaker 7: just because I feel like we're right around that same
- 6:17Speaker 7: age and we've just lived through so much and the
- 6:19Speaker 7: Cowboys just you know, live in his fans and then obviously,
- 6:24Speaker 7: I mean you've worked so you know, so so much more.
- 6:27Speaker 7: But Yeah, feeling great man. I think you know, the
- 6:30Speaker 7: points that you pointed out last week as far as
- 6:33Speaker 7: what had to happen for the Cowboys to win, came true.
- 6:37Speaker 7: He said Rush had to play better, said the offensive
- 6:40Speaker 7: line had to play better, and he said that the
- 6:43Speaker 7: defense had to play better. You know, I thought all
- 6:47Speaker 7: of those things happened. You know, it's great, it's great,
- 6:50Speaker 7: and obviously, you know, the Cowboys being the Cowboys, like
- 6:54Speaker 7: you know, they always make things interesting. It close, but
- 6:57Speaker 7: it was a great game, man, it was. It was
- 6:59Speaker 7: so fun to watch and just steel feel and good.
- 7:01Speaker 7: I feel happy for you, happy for Cherry, happy for
- 7:05Speaker 7: the players. You know, you guys didn't have to deal
- 7:07Speaker 7: with the fans and the media just I mean, you know,
- 7:11Speaker 7: all of the outside questions is just what are you
- 7:13Speaker 7: going to do next? Yeah, person should play this, person
- 7:16Speaker 7: should do that. But it's really happy for all of
- 7:18Speaker 7: you guys.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Welcome, thank you, it's far Yeah.
- 7:22Speaker 7: Yeah, man, you're you're a real trooper man. The way
- 7:24Speaker 7: you can come in and handle things every week, you
- 7:26Speaker 7: know whether things are good or bad. Like I told
- 7:28Speaker 7: you before, you keep everything even killed. Like we're twelve
- 7:33Speaker 7: and five and we're going to the super Bowl. The
- 7:35Speaker 7: curses broke, You're like, hey, man, you guys, guys got
- 7:39Speaker 7: to win a playoff game, you know, take it easy,
- 7:41Speaker 7: you know with the out goes. Yeah, and vice versa.
- 7:44Speaker 7: This year when it was doom and gloom, you were like,
- 7:46Speaker 7: I don't want to hear about the draft. To have
- 7:48Speaker 7: a lot of season left, and man, I just appreciate
- 7:52Speaker 7: you here. You're awesome.
- 7:53Speaker 8: Man.
- 7:53Speaker 7: It's the right guy for the job.
- 7:56Speaker 1: That means a lot. I appreciate that. That means a lot.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And it's not easy to kind of to do that,
- 8:01Speaker 1: you know, to play both sides of it like that,
- 8:03Speaker 1: and and you know you have to you kind of
- 8:06Speaker 1: have to have that that approach. But but I appreciate
- 8:09Speaker 1: you saying that you don't have to say that, and
- 8:11Speaker 1: that was really that was really good for you to
- 8:13Speaker 1: do that. What what do you got on your mind?
- 8:16Speaker 7: Man? The upcoming week? You know the Giants, right, it's
- 8:20Speaker 7: the Giants. And as bad as the Cowboys have been
- 8:24Speaker 7: this year, Like, the Giants are really laughable. The their
- 8:28Speaker 7: situation with their coach, you know, getting rid of Joanes
- 8:33Speaker 7: saying that they were just gonna bench him and then
- 8:36Speaker 7: you know him not being happy about it. So then
- 8:38Speaker 7: now they're releasing them. You know Neighbor his his comments
- 8:42Speaker 7: after the game is like, even when things weren't going good,
- 8:46Speaker 7: I don't think that any of the players were kind
- 8:49Speaker 7: of just like, you know, pointing fingers the way that
- 8:53Speaker 7: the Giants are. It's laughable. I expect the Cowboys to win.
- 8:57Speaker 7: I hear what you're saying. We're still not that great
- 8:59Speaker 7: of a team.
- 9:00Speaker 9: Team.
- 9:00Speaker 7: We're playing with our backup quarterback. Tons of injuries up
- 9:03Speaker 7: and down the offensive line, defensive line, and all of
- 9:06Speaker 7: that stuff. But you know, I think you know, our
- 9:09Speaker 7: defense has really played well the last few weeks, and
- 9:12Speaker 7: as long as you know Cooper can just kind of
- 9:14Speaker 7: steady the shift, you know, I think you know, we
- 9:17Speaker 7: can't make those turnovers and those mistakes. Like you said
- 9:20Speaker 7: a couple of weeks ago in your article, is you know,
- 9:23Speaker 7: we're not that good of a team, but we should
- 9:25Speaker 7: beat the Giants. I think, you know, at the course
- 9:28Speaker 7: of the game, you know, we'll just kind of show
- 9:30Speaker 7: that we're a better team on both sides of the ball.
- 9:32Speaker 1: And you know you're right, You're right, Thank you, Thank
- 9:35Speaker 1: you for the call. I may and and I like
- 9:37Speaker 1: what you said there at the end of the course
- 9:39Speaker 1: of a game because we've seen it on the flip side, right,
- 9:42Speaker 1: We've seen the Cowboys two games before this last one
- 9:45Speaker 1: where Philadelphia Houston, those teams, those teams are in a
- 9:50Speaker 1: better situation. I don't know how much better they are.
- 9:52Speaker 1: I don't know how much better Houston is, but but
- 9:55Speaker 1: you know, they they were playing, it was one of
- 9:58Speaker 1: those games where the Cowboys were there hanging in there.
- 10:02Speaker 1: But then you know, you keep leaning on someone. You
- 10:04Speaker 1: keep leaning on them, they're going to fall and that
- 10:06Speaker 1: that's kind of what happened in those two games. And
- 10:09Speaker 1: you know, I thought maybe and the Cowboys were a
- 10:12Speaker 1: lot stronger here, so maybe they could do the flip side.
- 10:14Speaker 1: They can kind of do that to to the to
- 10:16Speaker 1: the Giants back in week four when they played that game,
- 10:20Speaker 1: that was a close game. It was it was like
- 10:22Speaker 1: this one where they threw the ball deep into the
- 10:25Speaker 1: uh you know, by the red zone. It was intercepted.
- 10:28Speaker 1: That one was a Rewaria, this one mukuamu. But I
- 10:33Speaker 1: didn't feel like that game was that close, but it was.
- 10:36Speaker 1: But they were Cowboys were better. I mean, they were
- 10:39Speaker 1: way better. They just didn't put them away. So that's
- 10:43Speaker 1: that's one of those things that it could be that
- 10:44Speaker 1: kind of game again. That's kind of what I'm what
- 10:47Speaker 1: I'm expecting. All right, let's go to Kansas City, Joe
- 10:50Speaker 1: in Kansas City, Missouri, Casey Joe. What's up?
- 10:53Speaker 10: Good morning, Nick?
- 10:54Speaker 7: How are you doing today?
- 10:55Speaker 5: Sure? Good?
- 10:55Speaker 1: How are you?
- 10:56Speaker 10: I'm fantastic with that win and everything. First of all,
- 10:59Speaker 10: I want to thank you for keeping me awake at night.
- 11:01Speaker 10: I work night, so drive tractor trailer through the night,
- 11:04Speaker 10: and you guys keep me awake even though you're asleep.
- 11:06Speaker 10: I'm I'm up driving, yeah, and uh so, thank you
- 11:10Speaker 10: for keeping me awake.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
- 11:12Speaker 10: I'm excited about maybe Digs and Bland getting back on
- 11:15Speaker 10: the field together to shut down their wide receivers. And
- 11:19Speaker 10: I think that'll help our running game out, you know
- 11:21Speaker 10: well as well. But I mean I think that'll keep
- 11:24Speaker 10: keep it so that Parsons and number thirteen get in there. Overshownow, yeah,
- 11:31Speaker 10: you know, to get that tackle, and then weeks looking
- 11:33Speaker 10: pretty good. So I'm excited about our defense.
- 11:36Speaker 5: All right.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Well, I mean, yeah, they are getting better. They're getting
- 11:41Speaker 1: getting better, getting healthier. Micah makes a huge difference, of course,
- 11:45Speaker 1: he makes other guys around him better. And I think
- 11:48Speaker 1: the combination we haven't seen it yet, but the combination
- 11:51Speaker 1: of Micah, Bland, Digs, Overshown Overshown hasn't you know, overshown.
- 11:58Speaker 1: This is the first game Bland and Overshowing ever played together,
- 12:00Speaker 1: you know, so the comedy and then and and Diggs
- 12:03Speaker 1: hasn't played there with with those guys and Mica and
- 12:06Speaker 1: all that. So you start to get your top players.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Boy Tank ever comes back, that might you know, that
- 12:11Speaker 1: might change some things as well, so your defense has
- 12:14Speaker 1: a chance to really turn the corner here. And that's
- 12:16Speaker 1: what this offense needs. It needs something like that to
- 12:20Speaker 1: not be playing down fourteen to nothing to begin these games.
- 12:25Speaker 10: Right, you're absolutely right.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Well, well that's all I say.
- 12:30Speaker 10: I just have a happy Thanksgiving and I'll be watching
- 12:33Speaker 10: on Thursday.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Okay, thanks a lot. I appreciate that that was Kansas
- 12:38Speaker 1: City Joe, and I'm gonna guess that he's just handing
- 12:42Speaker 1: the phone over to Mama and Brian, who's also in
- 12:46Speaker 1: Kansas City. Brian, what's up, my friend? Y'all just hanging out.
- 12:51Speaker 1: You gotta got two calls in a row from Kansas City?
- 12:54Speaker 1: What's up?
- 12:55Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 12:55Speaker 4: Yeah, you didn't know you were only broadcasting in one
- 12:58Speaker 4: city today.
- 12:59Speaker 9: Huh?
- 12:59Speaker 1: And then you are going to pass the phone to
- 13:01Speaker 1: Mahomes he's calling in next.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm telling you, I'm telling you some.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Kind of tampering. Probably can't do that. What's that?
- 13:10Speaker 4: Brian? Oh man, Hey, I am so excited that we
- 13:15Speaker 4: might actually have Digs and Bland and Lewis all on
- 13:21Speaker 4: the field at the same time.
- 13:22Speaker 1: What about Josh Butler.
- 13:27Speaker 6: Off?
- 13:28Speaker 4: You know?
- 13:31Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that's exactly what he did. That's exactly what
- 13:33Speaker 1: because he had twelve tackles in the game. That's not
- 13:36Speaker 1: a great game for a corner because that means they're
- 13:38Speaker 1: catching it, they're throwing at you, they're picking on you,
- 13:41Speaker 1: but you're tackling it and you're fighting, you're battling. He
- 13:45Speaker 1: certainly did. I was proud of the way he played.
- 13:48Speaker 1: You know that he was. But he needs to be
- 13:51Speaker 1: like your fourth corner or if that you know, so, uh,
- 13:55Speaker 1: you're right, they need to get these other guys back.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Maybe Diggs does come back, it's going to be close
- 13:59Speaker 1: for Diggs.
- 14:01Speaker 4: I was listening to the to the show just before
- 14:04Speaker 4: me and I thought you said that it looked like
- 14:06Speaker 4: he was coming back. I might have misheard it, so
- 14:09Speaker 4: I was just tuning in and trying to pick up
- 14:12Speaker 4: what you were talking about. So I'm hoping. I mean,
- 14:15Speaker 4: even if it's not this week, you know, probably it's
- 14:17Speaker 4: next week. But I just be so excited to finally
- 14:21Speaker 4: see all three of them on the field at the
- 14:22Speaker 4: same time. It just seems like it's been forever. That
- 14:27Speaker 4: combination is really something, and I think that's a really
- 14:30Speaker 4: special combination. And you know, there's always that argument, and
- 14:34Speaker 4: you know you can chime in on this one. There's
- 14:36Speaker 4: always that argument about what makes a good defense. Is
- 14:43Speaker 4: it the pass rush makes the back end better? Is
- 14:46Speaker 4: it a dominant because I think those three guys could
- 14:49Speaker 4: be dominant in the back end, And is it those
- 14:53Speaker 4: three guys make give the pass rush that one extra
- 14:58Speaker 4: second they need to get home. And I saw Kneeland
- 15:01Speaker 4: played last week, so that was good to see him
- 15:03Speaker 4: come back.
- 15:04Speaker 1: I mean, let me just tell you what the NFL thinks,
- 15:09Speaker 1: and you can find it on your own too. Go
- 15:11Speaker 1: look at the last fifteen drafts and look at the
- 15:14Speaker 1: top top ten players, right, how many corners are in
- 15:19Speaker 1: there and how many defensive ends are in there. I
- 15:21Speaker 1: would imagine it's not even close. That there's way more
- 15:26Speaker 1: defensive ends drafted in the top ten than corners. Now,
- 15:32Speaker 1: they're both important, but I'm just saying I think that
- 15:36Speaker 1: most teams don't think it's a chicken and egg type thing.
- 15:39Speaker 1: They think it's the pass rush, it's the premiere pass
- 15:42Speaker 1: rusher that they'll take that over a corner. But I mean,
- 15:48Speaker 1: it is close. Now, I could say this, the Cowboys
- 15:52Speaker 1: are very fortunate that in twenty twenty one that teams
- 15:55Speaker 1: thought that these two corners were more important than taking
- 15:59Speaker 1: Michael Parson. See, nobody thought Micah could rush the passer
- 16:02Speaker 1: like that, Cowboys included. Nobody thought that he was a
- 16:05Speaker 1: pass rusher to that to this level.
- 16:08Speaker 4: So I'm glad, No, absolutely, and I was so glad
- 16:13Speaker 4: to see that that Neeland was back. You know that
- 16:17Speaker 4: that was important just if nothing else. He's not a
- 16:19Speaker 4: dominant pass rusher, but he's he's another rotational piece, and
- 16:24Speaker 4: we just need to get some healthy bodies back on
- 16:27Speaker 4: the field. And he'll learn as he goes. You know,
- 16:29Speaker 4: he'll get better every every time he gets out there,
- 16:31Speaker 4: he'll get better. And and hopefully having him out there
- 16:36Speaker 4: and getting him paired up with Parsons on the other side,
- 16:41Speaker 4: I noticed something this past week that Parsons played a
- 16:45Speaker 4: lot on the defensive left. He played a ton of
- 16:49Speaker 4: snaps from the defensive left.
- 16:51Speaker 1: He played. He played a lot over the center too.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I mean not a lot, he did play over it.
- 16:56Speaker 1: He played everywhere, he lined up everywhere. That's that was
- 17:01Speaker 1: that was impressive. And that was again I say this
- 17:03Speaker 1: all time. It's a credit to all of them, because
- 17:06Speaker 1: if he's moving, someone else is moving. So it's a
- 17:09Speaker 1: credit for them to switch sides, flip, do those things
- 17:12Speaker 1: and understand their assignments. You know, Washington plays with more
- 17:16Speaker 1: tempo than anybody in the league. They have a lot
- 17:20Speaker 1: of no huddle. They do it a lot, and it's
- 17:21Speaker 1: not even hurry up. It's just no huddle to keep
- 17:23Speaker 1: you in the same base. And I thought the Cowboys
- 17:26Speaker 1: did a really nice job. There was only one twelve
- 17:27Speaker 1: men on the field penalty in the game and it
- 17:30Speaker 1: was Washington and Dan Quinn's phenomenal defense that did that.
- 17:35Speaker 1: So pretty pretty impressive there for the Cowboys defense.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Oh absolutely. Hey, let me throw out an old time
- 17:41Speaker 4: player and I'll get going. I was thinking this week,
- 17:44Speaker 4: how about wide receiver Bryce Butler's Thanksgiving to you and
- 17:50Speaker 4: your family, my friend?
- 17:51Speaker 1: All right, thank you, love Bryce Butler. Bryce Butler came
- 17:55Speaker 1: here in twenty fifteen, and one of the things I
- 18:00Speaker 1: remember he was he was awesome, very very you know,
- 18:06Speaker 1: very personal and and but he understood too. His dad
- 18:10Speaker 1: played in the league. Now, Bobby Butler was a defensive
- 18:12Speaker 1: back played for the Falcons, and it was the one
- 18:14Speaker 1: thing that was that that caught the Cowboys attention when
- 18:18Speaker 1: he was first traded for the to the team, I
- 18:20Speaker 1: believe in early twenty fifteen, he said, because he was
- 18:25Speaker 1: like they were asking him, all right, he's here and
- 18:27Speaker 1: he comes from the Raiders, and it's like what number
- 18:29Speaker 1: are you gonna wear? And he was like, well, I
- 18:33Speaker 1: war twelve with the Raiders. He goes, I know I'm
- 18:36Speaker 1: not getting that because of Roger of maybe nineteen. You know,
- 18:41Speaker 1: he's asking around. But I promise you this, there's not
- 18:45Speaker 1: many players that that are coming into the league, young
- 18:48Speaker 1: young guys that are like knowing, knowing the whole deal,
- 18:52Speaker 1: knowing twelve, knowing Roger strawback and all that. Just the
- 18:55Speaker 1: way he said it like that, it was like, all right,
- 18:57Speaker 1: at least he gets it. He understands the deal. So uh,
- 19:01Speaker 1: he had he had a few plays here and there,
- 19:03Speaker 1: you know, big, big, tall guy and good target saw
- 19:07Speaker 1: him at the super Bowl last year. He's doing some podcasts,
- 19:09Speaker 1: of course, which is what it needs to be doing
- 19:11Speaker 1: because he's he's he's got a great personality, a lot
- 19:14Speaker 1: of fun. If we ever had him here, he would
- 19:16Speaker 1: be on a podcast all if he lived here, we
- 19:18Speaker 1: probably have him on a podcast a lot. He's a
- 19:19Speaker 1: really personal guy and good and he's got good opinions
- 19:23Speaker 1: and just just a fun person to be around. All right,
- 19:26Speaker 1: let's uh, let's go to uh, let's go to break.

- 21:35Speaker 12: Nick, Hey, Nick, thanks for taking my call. I tell you,
- 21:39Speaker 12: you know, as quite a few fans, you know, sitting
- 21:42Speaker 12: at three and seven, you.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Were trying to talk Bruce. You were one to tank,
- 21:47Speaker 1: you were one of us.
- 21:48Speaker 12: I'll be the first, you know, to eat Crow. But
- 21:53Speaker 12: it is just one game, obviously, But of course, I
- 21:56Speaker 12: tell you what what impressed me the most was is
- 21:59Speaker 12: there five eight? Yeah, you know, because look I thought
- 22:04Speaker 12: they were gonna lose and be three and eight. So
- 22:05Speaker 12: that's why I'm like, let's just blow this up and
- 22:07Speaker 12: get his most best draft pick. And you know that
- 22:11Speaker 12: type of thing. That's why some fans is go on
- 22:13Speaker 12: that way. Look, can they they probably have to win
- 22:16Speaker 12: out to get in the playoffs. Now, can they do that? Yeah?
- 22:20Speaker 12: I guess they can. They're gonna have to go one
- 22:22Speaker 12: one the heck of a run, and can they do it? Yeah?
- 22:24Speaker 12: They can because if they played like that, they can
- 22:26Speaker 12: play with any of them.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Right the schedule, the schedule suggests that you could beat
- 22:30Speaker 1: all of these teams. In front of you. Maybe at
- 22:32Speaker 1: Philly will be tough, but you know who knows about that,
- 22:35Speaker 1: But you could beat any team in front of you
- 22:38Speaker 1: here from that, from here on that, And I think
- 22:39Speaker 1: they're gonna be favored in just about all of.
- 22:41Speaker 12: These games except for the Philly game. Yeah, And you're right,
- 22:45Speaker 12: wouldn't it be cool to go into Week eighteen against
- 22:47Speaker 12: Washington coming home and mean something?
- 22:50Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 22:50Speaker 12: Because this year has been it's been kind of like
- 22:53Speaker 12: that year. I mean, Sarrancisco playing as bad as they are,
- 22:55Speaker 12: and other teams other than I mean, right now, you
- 22:58Speaker 12: put Detroit in there and winning the whole thing unless
- 23:01Speaker 12: you know Casey does what Casey does, but that that
- 23:04Speaker 12: this just been a crazy year with those players. So
- 23:06Speaker 12: I was really impressed with with with the offensive line,
- 23:10Speaker 12: and that's kind of what I wanted to ask you.
- 23:12Speaker 12: I was really I'm glad I knew Bass could play
- 23:15Speaker 12: and a new Hoffman. They got a mean streak in him.
- 23:17Speaker 12: But until you see him play against first team defense,
- 23:20Speaker 12: you just don't quite know. But man, I'm telling you,
- 23:22Speaker 12: it makes me feel better. You know, if Martin does
- 23:26Speaker 12: decide to retire and they move on from him, plugging
- 23:30Speaker 12: those guys in there my question. And I even think
- 23:34Speaker 12: Richards did a pretty good job.
- 23:37Speaker 13: And guiding.
- 23:37Speaker 12: I don't know if he's just just having a hard
- 23:40Speaker 12: time moving to that left side.
- 23:43Speaker 6: Still.
- 23:43Speaker 12: We didn't hear his name get told too much, Yester,
- 23:46Speaker 12: which is a good thing.
- 23:47Speaker 1: But I think it's upstairs with with Guidon. And I
- 23:50Speaker 1: don't mean that in a bad way. I just think
- 23:52Speaker 1: he's thinking too much. He's just thinking, not reacting. It's
- 23:56Speaker 1: not getting on the line of scrimmage, you know, I mean,
- 23:59Speaker 1: those are those just small things.
- 24:01Speaker 4: You know.
- 24:01Speaker 1: It reminds me of Jaalen Tolbert his first year, you know,
- 24:04Speaker 1: just things like that where you're just you're just having
- 24:06Speaker 1: to think on every single play instead of just going
- 24:09Speaker 1: out there and playing football like we used to do
- 24:11Speaker 1: in the yard. You know, once you get to that point,
- 24:14Speaker 1: I think he's going to be I think, because then
- 24:15Speaker 1: I think talent and athleticism takes over and he's got that.
- 24:19Speaker 1: He's got that. So yeah, you.
- 24:22Speaker 12: Know, it's like how many times you've heard him say, Hey,
- 24:24Speaker 12: the game slowed down for him. When it slows down
- 24:26Speaker 12: for him, that's when they because.
- 24:28Speaker 1: You know, who doesn't slow down for him? TJ. Watt
- 24:31Speaker 1: and and you know, and those guys and and and
- 24:34Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and and every guy that he's had to
- 24:39Speaker 1: face this year. You know, he said he's had some
- 24:41Speaker 1: some some tough challenges, but you know, it's one of
- 24:44Speaker 1: those things. But offensive tackle, you know, I remember a
- 24:48Speaker 1: game twenty ten against Washington, Alex Barron was the offensive tackle.
- 24:53Speaker 1: He had three holding penalties in the game, one of
- 24:55Speaker 1: them at the end to wipe out a touchdown. Three
- 24:58Speaker 1: holding penalties in the game. He grated out very very
- 25:02Speaker 1: well in that game. He played well, he but he
- 25:05Speaker 1: had three holding pen lets and that's what we remember,
- 25:07Speaker 1: you know, and so and Goeyton kind of had a
- 25:10Speaker 1: good game. He actually did. He played pretty well at
- 25:12Speaker 1: those other times. But that's what we remember. When you
- 25:14Speaker 1: hear sixty, when the referee is sixty, you're like, god,
- 25:17Speaker 1: not again. But but he's actually playing pretty well. So uh,
- 25:22Speaker 1: you know, but he'll get.
- 25:24Speaker 12: That's kind of my question too. Do you think I mean,
- 25:27Speaker 12: I know he's a right tackle in in Oklahoma, do
- 25:30Speaker 12: you think they should move him back or you know
- 25:33Speaker 12: they know about that more than and and possibly now
- 25:36Speaker 12: that you know Bass and Hoffman can do their thing,
- 25:40Speaker 12: you could move Tyler Smith out there, if you wanted
- 25:42Speaker 12: to and and make Geyton the right tackle, you could
- 25:45Speaker 12: feal the swing tackle.
- 25:47Speaker 7: I don't know you could.
- 25:48Speaker 1: But but but let me just say this, Bruce, and
- 25:50Speaker 1: what I just said about thinking and all that, I
- 25:53Speaker 1: think that's a that's an off season. That's a February March,
- 25:57Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.
- 25:59Speaker 12: That's you're always talking about putting your best five after well, you.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Know, and you might anyway might do that, all right.
- 26:05Speaker 12: I wanted to and eat Crow a little bit. Hey,
- 26:07Speaker 12: if they should beat the Giants they lose this week,
- 26:11Speaker 12: got them, Yeah.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Then we'll be we'll be back into it. Yeah, thanks,
- 26:16Speaker 1: thanks for you know. On on Jerry Jones's radio show
- 26:20Speaker 1: Tuesday Mornings on One of the five three the Fan,
- 26:23Speaker 1: he was asked about that, you know, because he asked
- 26:25Speaker 1: about Micah's comments about the tankings, like, I hope we
- 26:28Speaker 1: ruined people's anybody's thoughts on doing that. Hope we ruined
- 26:30Speaker 1: that that plan. We got a lot of football left.
- 26:33Speaker 1: And Jerry was asked about it. He said he loved it,
- 26:35Speaker 1: and he agreed. He said the games are just too important,
- 26:38Speaker 1: the wins are they They're just too important than that
- 26:42Speaker 1: and and and he said, you know, those guys that
- 26:43Speaker 1: we want to draft will be there. And you know,
- 26:48Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's the mentality that you should have.
- 26:51Speaker 1: He he just thinks there's too many young guys, too
- 26:54Speaker 1: many guys that need to go out here and play
- 26:56Speaker 1: and and and and and get some confidence and win
- 26:59Speaker 1: and build that up for next year. Those are things
- 27:02Speaker 1: you just can't put a price on. See that the
- 27:04Speaker 1: NFL is not just black and white like that. We'll
- 27:06Speaker 1: just be like, well, I want to have the seventh pick.
- 27:08Speaker 1: I don't want to have the twelve. I mean I
- 27:10Speaker 1: don't I don't want to be at twelve thirteen. I
- 27:11Speaker 1: want to be right there in the top. Yeah, and
- 27:15Speaker 1: history suggests that that that that's better for you, of course,
- 27:18Speaker 1: But you know, I think there's also stuff that you
- 27:22Speaker 1: can't put a value on. It's just how important it
- 27:24Speaker 1: is to go win some games, get some confidence, get
- 27:27Speaker 1: these guys you know, playing well together, stringing some some
- 27:31Speaker 1: wins together. You know that that that might be just
- 27:35Speaker 1: as valuable. It's just hard to figure that out. And
- 27:37Speaker 1: I do agree with them, you know, So so what
- 27:39Speaker 1: if you're picking eleven twelve, go get Michael Parsons, go
- 27:42Speaker 1: get dwar I mean, there's there's guys you can I mean,
- 27:47Speaker 1: you know, that's just the way I view it all
- 27:50Speaker 1: the time. The draft pick is what it is, man.
- 27:52Speaker 1: You got to go play. You gotta play. And for
- 27:53Speaker 1: those that that that that don't say that they're not
- 27:56Speaker 1: in the locker room, they're not that. They haven't been
- 27:59Speaker 1: in the locker room in a long long time, and
- 28:02Speaker 1: they're not thinking about what these players and coaches have
- 28:06Speaker 1: to deal with every single day in the scrutiny and
- 28:09Speaker 1: the pressure to go out there and win. And we're
- 28:12Speaker 1: all competitive. I mean, think about it. Think about how
- 28:15Speaker 1: that works. Think about playing in this Thanksgiving you're gonna
- 28:18Speaker 1: be with your family. You you might bring out a
- 28:22Speaker 1: board game or something like that. You're trying to win.
- 28:24Speaker 1: You're trying to win. You're trying to get boardwalk at
- 28:27Speaker 1: park place, and you're trying to win, trying to be
- 28:29Speaker 1: your little cousin whatever and monopoly. That's what people do.
- 28:32Speaker 1: So don't you think these guys are doing the same thing.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I mean, let's don't be hypocritical about saying I don't
- 28:38Speaker 1: want them to win and all that these guys are
- 28:39Speaker 1: fighting their ass off and they showed it against Washington.
- 28:42Speaker 1: All Right, Brian in Newcastle, Indiana, Brian, what's up, Mick?
- 28:46Speaker 13: How's it going?
- 28:46Speaker 1: Good man? First time call? Yes, sir, let's bring it.
- 28:52Speaker 1: What's up?
- 28:53Speaker 13: Love to hear it?
- 28:53Speaker 11: Love?
- 28:54Speaker 13: Yeah? Well I got so I have a first time caller.
- 28:56Speaker 13: So I have a piece of trivia for you. I
- 28:58Speaker 13: want to see if you can answer. And man, I
- 29:00Speaker 13: got a question for you. Okay, all right? Trivia. So
- 29:04Speaker 13: I was listening to the Break yesterday and Derek Eagleton
- 29:07Speaker 13: brought up the point about the Commander's game about maybe
- 29:11Speaker 13: not being the most exciting game that he's ever seen
- 29:14Speaker 13: that that most exciting game actually belongs to the two
- 29:18Speaker 13: thousand and seven Monday Night football game, which actually is
- 29:21Speaker 13: my first ever football game, Cowboys versus the Buffalo Bills
- 29:25Speaker 13: in Buffalo. Cowboys ended up winning that game at the
- 29:28Speaker 13: very end by kicking a fifty two year old yardfield
- 29:31Speaker 13: goal twice. But before that they had to recover an
- 29:34Speaker 13: onside kick. Who was the third string tight end that
- 29:37Speaker 13: recovered that on side kick?
- 29:39Speaker 1: Portland State, Tony Curtis.
- 29:43Speaker 13: How'd you get?
- 29:45Speaker 1: I just I just went ahead? Tony Curtis as the answer,
- 29:47Speaker 1: but he's from Portland State. You're right, he recovered it.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Sam Hurd was the one that actually knocked the ball
- 29:59Speaker 1: like a ten yards forward, Like I don't like that's
- 30:03Speaker 1: a that's a part of that on side kick that
- 30:04Speaker 1: a lot of people don't remember. Yes, the on side
- 30:06Speaker 1: kick was recovered, but it was knocked like fifteen yards forward,
- 30:10Speaker 1: which which was huge because they didn't have a lot
- 30:13Speaker 1: of time. They didn't have any timeouts, so that that
- 30:15Speaker 1: was That was Another aspect of recovering the on side
- 30:18Speaker 1: kick was the fact that it was kind of like
- 30:20Speaker 1: punched forward. Just an just a crazy game. I mean
- 30:25Speaker 1: that that Yeah, that one.
- 30:27Speaker 13: I gotta say, Nick, it was. It was the best
- 30:30Speaker 13: football game ever for me because it was my first
- 30:32Speaker 13: ever football game and it was my dad's first ever
- 30:34Speaker 13: football game as a longtime Cowboys fan grew up during
- 30:38Speaker 13: the seventies watching all those great teams, and for him
- 30:41Speaker 13: to be able to see his first game in such
- 30:43Speaker 13: a wild game, it was. It was really cool. But hey,
- 30:46Speaker 13: I had my question for you. So I was listening
- 30:50Speaker 13: to one of the five three of the Fan this morning.
- 30:51Speaker 13: I'm not sure if this has been covered yet, but
- 30:53Speaker 13: Jerry said when asked if Mike McCarthy might be considered
- 30:58Speaker 13: for a contract extension. He said, I don't think it's
- 31:00Speaker 13: crazy at all. That's not crazy. He's an outstanding coach.
- 31:04Speaker 13: This is a Super Bowl winning coach. So, Nick, I
- 31:07Speaker 13: mean elephant in the room. Is Mike McCarty coming back
- 31:09Speaker 13: next year? Or are we going to see somebody like a
- 31:10Speaker 13: Jason Witten?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Do you think wait, Jason Witten? What as the head?
- 31:16Speaker 13: The rumor is a Jerry is a big san at
- 31:18Speaker 13: Jason Whitten at possibly being a head coach in the
- 31:20Speaker 13: future when he was asked as a possible replacement down
- 31:23Speaker 13: the road. But I'm just curious, do you think it
- 31:25Speaker 13: will go somebody like a Mike McCarthy or maybe look
- 31:28Speaker 13: at somebody like at Jason Witten?
- 31:30Speaker 1: Uh? You know, I could be somebody different than both
- 31:35Speaker 1: of those two, honestly. Now, you know the thing about
- 31:38Speaker 1: coaches is if it's not crazy, you know, to give
- 31:42Speaker 1: the guy an extension, I mean give him extension, then
- 31:45Speaker 1: you know, like he's not doing it so right now.
- 31:48Speaker 1: So no, it's not crazy. He wants to see more things,
- 31:50Speaker 1: he wants to have this thing played out, and I'm
- 31:53Speaker 1: sure he'll make the decision at the end of the year.
- 31:55Speaker 1: You know, Jerry, Jerry doesn't want to fire anybody did
- 31:58Speaker 1: want to fire Jason Garrett and he did not. His
- 32:01Speaker 1: contract ran out, and and that's what could happen here
- 32:04Speaker 1: with McCarthy. His contract could could go out. I think
- 32:07Speaker 1: we all know that that if he really wanted to
- 32:09Speaker 1: lock him up, he would lock him up, and he
- 32:11Speaker 1: would he would have done that earlier before now. So
- 32:13Speaker 1: he wants to see more things that I don't think
- 32:15Speaker 1: it's just one game in Washington, but you know, he
- 32:18Speaker 1: has a lot of respect for him, and we'll see
- 32:20Speaker 1: how this season goes on. It's been a tough one.
- 32:22Speaker 1: He called it a train wreck, Jary did as far
- 32:24Speaker 1: as the injuries go from an injury standpoint, And so
- 32:28Speaker 1: we'll see if they keep battling and then how they
- 32:31Speaker 1: they fight through it here. I think he could keep
- 32:33Speaker 1: his job if they keep fighting, keep playing to the
- 32:36Speaker 1: point where they can get this thing turned around. It
- 32:39Speaker 1: very well could happen.
- 32:41Speaker 13: Awesome stuff. And by the way, just one quick thing,
- 32:43Speaker 13: I want to give a shout out to Randy. You know,
- 32:45Speaker 13: I know I'm a first time caller, but I'm a
- 32:47Speaker 13: long time listener, both in the storyline in going back
- 32:50Speaker 13: to all the podcasts of yesteryear, you know, this is
- 32:54Speaker 13: definitely like a family if you're a Cowboys fan, so
- 32:57Speaker 13: you know, hearing all the different recurring guests like Randy
- 33:00Speaker 13: Mind like, yeah, you do feel like you're part of
- 33:02Speaker 13: something greater. So just shout out to the Cowboys storyline community.
- 33:05Speaker 1: You're all great.
- 33:06Speaker 13: I'll hang up and listen.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Thank you, and thanks for joining us for the first
- 33:10Speaker 1: time on the caller. I know on the call, I
- 33:12Speaker 1: know that you've you've listened, and we appreciate that. We
- 33:14Speaker 1: know there's a lot of guys out there that that
- 33:17Speaker 1: that are listening that maybe haven't called in uh you know,
- 33:19Speaker 1: and maybe some that have tried. We love it when
- 33:22Speaker 1: when they get through and they and they share their
- 33:25Speaker 1: stories and all that, and uh, maybe next time Brian
- 33:28Speaker 1: calls he can give you know, favorite player memory and
- 33:31Speaker 1: all that. Obviously that that O seven and Buffalo game
- 33:33Speaker 1: was a good and I just I disagree with Derek
- 33:35Speaker 1: on that one as far as that game goes, because
- 33:38Speaker 1: that one was that there just wasn't so many crazy
- 33:41Speaker 1: things happening in the in the final five minutes like that,
- 33:44Speaker 1: and there was on side kick there was a the
- 33:47Speaker 1: field goal, then the off sides, and then you know,
- 33:49Speaker 1: the field goal. But that one was crazy because they
- 33:51Speaker 1: were just playing so poorly and Romo was throwing interceptions
- 33:55Speaker 1: and all this. You know, there was a kickoff return,
- 33:57Speaker 1: there was an interception, so there were a lot of
- 33:59Speaker 1: things there. All of those things that happened were throughout
- 34:03Speaker 1: the game. And then this one it was all in
- 34:04Speaker 1: the final five minutes. So that one they just pulled
- 34:08Speaker 1: the rabbit out of their hat. But this one was
- 34:09Speaker 1: just it was just the back and forth. It was
- 34:11Speaker 1: it was everything I always explained on the on a
- 34:13Speaker 1: roller coaster. All right, let's go to Robin Vegas. Rob.
- 34:16Speaker 1: What's up?
- 34:17Speaker 14: Hey, Nick?
- 34:18Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 34:19Speaker 9: I'm doing good?
- 34:20Speaker 5: How are you good?
- 34:22Speaker 14: No, great game. I tried to get it yesterday, but
- 34:25Speaker 14: I think it dial one hundred and eighty times that
- 34:27Speaker 14: I gave.
- 34:28Speaker 1: I've never heard you ever talk about dialing in in
- 34:31Speaker 1: one hundred times. Whatever. I feel like you just do
- 34:34Speaker 1: it like one time.
- 34:35Speaker 13: No, I wish you're the captain.
- 34:38Speaker 1: You're sure you don't have a number back there like
- 34:40Speaker 1: I thought. I thought, no special number. We need to
- 34:43Speaker 1: work on that. Hey, you're not allowed to talk about
- 34:45Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and Jerry's comment on the contract you're not allowed.
- 34:49Speaker 14: I don't think that that was definitely coming up. No, no,
- 34:53Speaker 14: but that's fine.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. What you what did you think
- 34:56Speaker 1: of the game? I mean, what was your thoughts?
- 34:59Speaker 14: The game was fun. I watched it with my father
- 35:01Speaker 14: and it was such a fun game. You know, I
- 35:04Speaker 14: talked about I thought Washington would win because of you know,
- 35:10Speaker 14: dan Quinn wanted to get paidback. But you know, I
- 35:13Speaker 14: forgot that Michael Passers wanted to show dan Quinn and
- 35:16Speaker 14: the Cowboy defense wanted to show dan Quinn. Hey, we're gonna,
- 35:21Speaker 14: We're gonna. You know, you always want to play in
- 35:25Speaker 14: front of people that your friends like. I remember when
- 35:28Speaker 14: I played against my friends. You want to win, you know,
- 35:31Speaker 14: and they. I thought the tackling was great. I thought
- 35:34Speaker 14: Donovan Wilson tackled great. I thought this kid Butler tackle
- 35:38Speaker 14: that he played good. Juan Ye, Thomas, everybody that we
- 35:43Speaker 14: kind of been asking to get in the game, especially
- 35:46Speaker 14: one Ye made plays. I thought the law firm of
- 35:50Speaker 14: Hoffman and Bass played like that.
- 35:53Speaker 6: Uh.
- 35:54Speaker 14: I just thought the key to the game was the
- 35:56Speaker 14: offensive line. That's what we that was the best performing
- 36:00Speaker 14: the whole year. That offensive line actually gave him time.
- 36:05Speaker 14: Steel played really good. Guidon struggled, but like you said,
- 36:09Speaker 14: he struggles. I mean he lined up a couple of
- 36:12Speaker 14: times cost us and they're gonna make a decision with him,
- 36:16Speaker 14: maybe going to right tackle next year. I thought Riches
- 36:19Speaker 14: played good and I like to see more of them.
- 36:21Speaker 14: I just thought it was a listen it was. It
- 36:24Speaker 14: was a fun game. I don't want any tanking like
- 36:27Speaker 14: bench players. If you lose, you lose. But but I
- 36:32Speaker 14: thought the game was great. I don't think you should
- 36:35Speaker 14: have anything to worry on Thursday. The Giants have quit.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see.
- 36:40Speaker 14: Yeah, my Pithon is going to get wrecked. I'm sorry
- 36:46Speaker 14: Tommy DeVito the Cowboys. If the Cowboys would have lost that,
- 36:52Speaker 14: I would have said, maybe they're gonna mail it. But no,
- 36:54Speaker 14: they haven't won a single game at home. They know
- 36:56Speaker 14: that Thanksgiving. I think they're going to blow the Giants
- 37:00Speaker 14: off the field.
- 37:01Speaker 9: Now.
- 37:03Speaker 14: I woke up to all kinds of messages because I'm
- 37:05Speaker 14: on vacation last two weeks. What's Rob go to say
- 37:08Speaker 14: now that Mike McCarthy maybe back.
- 37:12Speaker 1: I just Jerry Jerry was asked, is it crazy to
- 37:15Speaker 1: think extension? He said, no, it's not crazy. That's all.
- 37:17Speaker 1: That's all he said. He didn't say was coming back.
- 37:19Speaker 1: He just said no, it's not crazy. So that that's
- 37:21Speaker 1: all he said, and that's all he probably could say.
- 37:24Speaker 14: But it is crazy. You cannot sell You didn't. You
- 37:28Speaker 14: didn't sell this guy to us. You didn't feel comfortable
- 37:32Speaker 14: signing him on. He went twelve and five two years.
- 37:34Speaker 14: How are you going to sell him if he goes
- 37:35Speaker 14: five and twelve? I'm sorry. When I look at coaches,
- 37:38Speaker 14: five years is enough time?
- 37:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, If I agree, if you go five
- 37:43Speaker 1: and twelve, yeah, I mean he's going to have to fight.
- 37:45Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, and he is fighting. But this
- 37:47Speaker 1: team has to fight for him. And if they if
- 37:49Speaker 1: they get on this run, the schedule suggests that they
- 37:52Speaker 1: could if they do, if they if they shore, and
- 37:55Speaker 1: that will show, Hey, you got your players back, you
- 37:57Speaker 1: played better, then then may but but yeah, I mean
- 38:02Speaker 1: what you just said, five and twelve then then then no,
- 38:05Speaker 1: I mean, you've you've got to You've got to. You've
- 38:07Speaker 1: got to do a little bit more here, a.
- 38:09Speaker 14: Lot more, a lot more so, and there's too many
- 38:11Speaker 14: good candidates out there this year. You know, you got
- 38:14Speaker 14: the Belichicks, the Vrabels, that Ben jobs. There's just too
- 38:17Speaker 14: many guys out there that are available that you if
- 38:21Speaker 14: you don't make the move, I think it's dumb. But hey,
- 38:25Speaker 14: let's see what happens if they go on a run.
- 38:27Speaker 14: It'll be a blast. You know, all of us want
- 38:30Speaker 14: them to win. I know we say we want the
- 38:32Speaker 14: high draft picks.
- 38:33Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, sure we do.
- 38:36Speaker 14: But no, I don't say. You know, if you get
- 38:38Speaker 14: blown out there.
- 38:38Speaker 6: You're not one thing.
- 38:39Speaker 14: Game's close. Let's go, let's go to win. But you're
- 38:42Speaker 14: going to have a good Thanksgiving, not only with the
- 38:44Speaker 14: family and friends. The Cowboys are gonna dominate them.
- 38:48Speaker 1: All right, Rob, well, enjoy it with your family as well.
- 38:51Speaker 1: And and like you said, you saw it with your dad.
- 38:55Speaker 1: That was that was That's pretty cool. You know, I
- 38:57Speaker 1: haven't I haven't watched the game with my dad in
- 38:59Speaker 1: a long time. It's been like it's been twenty five years.
- 39:02Speaker 6: That was.
- 39:03Speaker 1: That was my Uh, That's what I did when I
- 39:04Speaker 1: was a kid. You know, we watched every game and
- 39:06Speaker 1: I haven't done that in a while. I'm glad that
- 39:08Speaker 1: I don't get to because it get to be at
- 39:10Speaker 1: the game, but yeah, I don't even know what that's like,

- 40:52Speaker 1: California where Greg is Greg and Sacramento.
- 40:56Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Ma, How you doing good?
- 40:58Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 41:00Speaker 6: I'm doing well, you know, talking about the game on Sunday,
- 41:05Speaker 6: I think it was I think it was Dyvin maybe
- 41:06Speaker 6: in Florida that called it yesterday and said, uh, you know,
- 41:10Speaker 6: how many times can you just like what the hell
- 41:12Speaker 6: is going on? And that's pretty much like how it
- 41:16Speaker 6: was that the second half of that game. I was like,
- 41:18Speaker 6: what in the world like this with all the specialty
- 41:21Speaker 6: and stuff and all that craziness that happened at the
- 41:24Speaker 6: end and everything like that, but it was a really
- 41:27Speaker 6: fun game to watch. And you know, like I know
- 41:29Speaker 6: people have said it before, but I mean, this is
- 41:31Speaker 6: why you know, you don't quote on the teams. You
- 41:33Speaker 6: watch all the games because you never know what you're
- 41:35Speaker 6: gonna what you're going to see with the with a
- 41:37Speaker 6: little bit of luck. Right, And I even called in
- 41:41Speaker 6: like a couple of weeks ago just to kind of
- 41:43Speaker 6: try and pump some life and in the Cowboy Nation.
- 41:46Speaker 6: I don't know if you remember, but this is kind
- 41:47Speaker 6: of what I was talking about. You know, it's not
- 41:49Speaker 6: over till it's over. And I mean we still I
- 41:52Speaker 6: know it's very very very full chance, but we still
- 41:55Speaker 6: have it as a playoffs. So I mean, you know,
- 41:59Speaker 6: I don't know, I just I just I'm not ready
- 42:02Speaker 6: to quit on the seasons just yet. And then another
- 42:07Speaker 6: point I had was so Recal'dowbell. He had eighty seven
- 42:11Speaker 6: yards in that game.
- 42:12Speaker 12: And we won the game.
- 42:14Speaker 6: Well, when the last time we won a game where
- 42:17Speaker 6: he had similar yardage, it was a Steelers game, right,
- 42:21Speaker 6: he had eighty six yards. Right, So it's like, you know,
- 42:24Speaker 6: maybe we should start getting the ball to to rego.
- 42:27Speaker 6: I mean, it might be just a coincidence that it
- 42:30Speaker 6: was two games where he had eighty nine yards or
- 42:33Speaker 6: I'm sorry, eighty plus yards and we won the game.
- 42:37Speaker 6: And they were both kind of gritty games. I mean
- 42:39Speaker 6: that Steelers game was a really gritty game, one at
- 42:41Speaker 6: the very end. Yeah, A Sunday's game was a gritty game,
- 42:44Speaker 6: one at the very end. So I don't know, you know,
- 42:46Speaker 6: maybe there's something to that giving him the ball of
- 42:50Speaker 6: the lead back and just kind of maybe gritting these
- 42:52Speaker 6: wins out. So and then the last thing is this,
- 42:56Speaker 6: I had a question, why is it do you think
- 42:58Speaker 6: that they're not utilizing Deuce Bond like kind of in
- 43:01Speaker 6: like a screen pass game or maybe even like a
- 43:04Speaker 6: like a death sweet type thing or something like why
- 43:07Speaker 6: how come every time they put him in the game
- 43:09Speaker 6: they just run in between the tackles, Like are they
- 43:11Speaker 6: trying to just psyke everybody out? And then maybe one
- 43:14Speaker 6: of these times they're going to actually, like, you know,
- 43:16Speaker 6: give him a screen cut something like I don't I
- 43:19Speaker 6: don't know. Yeah, I was just wondering if you can
- 43:20Speaker 6: answer that for us.
- 43:21Speaker 1: I I appreciate the call, Greg, I you know, as
- 43:25Speaker 1: produced fun me personally, I think I've seen him, but
- 43:32Speaker 1: you guys don't think so. And I think he is
- 43:36Speaker 1: what he is, and I just don't know if it's
- 43:38Speaker 1: good enough. But but I get your point though, you know,
- 43:43Speaker 1: if you go to use him, use him in a
- 43:44Speaker 1: way that that's beneficial for him. I've said this a
- 43:48Speaker 1: thousand times. You know, if you're gonna be on the field,
- 43:51Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to do a little bit of everything.
- 43:53Speaker 1: You can't just be a gadget guy all the time.
- 43:56Speaker 1: It's like, you know, turping. I mean, he's gonna have
- 43:59Speaker 1: to you know, he can't just run deep. You can't.
- 44:02Speaker 1: You know, you got to you know, be over the middle,
- 44:04Speaker 1: you do some reverses, whatever it is. They got to
- 44:06Speaker 1: use him a little bit more too. But but I
- 44:08Speaker 1: think with Deuce, I I get your point. Though he's
- 44:12Speaker 1: not I mean, he's only doing some runs up the middle.
- 44:15Speaker 1: We haven't seen a lot yet. I don't know if
- 44:17Speaker 1: if there's a lot of confidence in him. He seems
- 44:20Speaker 1: like one of those guys where the coaching staff, the
- 44:24Speaker 1: maybe the front office, the scouting department. It feels like
- 44:30Speaker 1: that's one that people have different opinions on. You know,
- 44:34Speaker 1: I don't want to use them. Some people want to
- 44:37Speaker 1: use them. And and I just you probably falls through
- 44:39Speaker 1: the cracks a little bit there. But you know it's
- 44:43Speaker 1: it's you can't if you if a guy's going to
- 44:45Speaker 1: be out there right there, it's not going to stop
- 44:48Speaker 1: anyone from blitzing you. So he's gonna have to pick
- 44:50Speaker 1: that up too, and and and and that might be
- 44:51Speaker 1: part of it. Uh again, I I don't know. I
- 44:55Speaker 1: just know that they're not using them a lot, and
- 44:56Speaker 1: then they see a lot more than we do. I
- 44:59Speaker 1: just it probably he is a past protection thing more
- 45:01Speaker 1: than anything. All right, let's go to Rick in Webster, Massachusetts. Rick,
- 45:06Speaker 1: what's up?
- 45:08Speaker 6: Hey?
- 45:08Speaker 9: Nick? Chris? Wish you guys both of them married? Uh,
- 45:14Speaker 9: happy Thanksgiving and.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Everything ourselves here. Yeah.
- 45:20Speaker 9: Yeah, but you know, I extremely thought that, you know,
- 45:23Speaker 9: the defense played well, keeping us for the whole game,
- 45:27Speaker 9: not just the first half, you know, especially with Butler
- 45:30Speaker 9: Parsons and over showing and everybody on that line, and
- 45:35Speaker 9: also the offensive line I thought pretty pretty well, except
- 45:38Speaker 9: you know, they had a few gifts with geit and
- 45:41Speaker 9: and everything. But you know, again that opened up those
- 45:44Speaker 9: holes for Rinkal the doll will do his thing and
- 45:47Speaker 9: given a give everything off the quarterback, the you know,
- 45:53Speaker 9: time to throw it had Stoommaker and all them. So
- 45:57Speaker 9: thought was a pretty good game.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought so too. I thought, thanks for the call, Rick,
- 46:01Speaker 1: and you know they they moved the ball around well,
- 46:04Speaker 1: and uh you know, we we we needed to see
- 46:06Speaker 1: those guys perform at a high level. And I thought
- 46:09Speaker 1: Schoonmaker had a couple of he had two catches, but
- 46:11Speaker 1: he had some very impactful plays. You know, who would
- 46:15Speaker 1: have thought he would lead your your team? Uh well,
- 46:17Speaker 1: I don't know if he led the team an average
- 46:19Speaker 1: per catch because Jalen Brooks had one catch and it
- 46:23Speaker 1: was a very that was that was a big play too,
- 46:25Speaker 1: you know, for him to catch that down the sideline
- 46:27Speaker 1: and give him some confidence there right before the half,
- 46:29Speaker 1: they've been they hadn't done anything, you know that they'd
- 46:32Speaker 1: moved the ball, but they hadn't got any points. And
- 46:34Speaker 1: so just for one quick play down the field to
- 46:37Speaker 1: get a field goal there right before half, I thought
- 46:39Speaker 1: that that really was was big for the Cowboys there.
- 46:43Speaker 1: So yeah, I like what you're saying. And we go
- 46:44Speaker 1: back to the caller before on Greg he was one
- 46:47Speaker 1: of his first points was just how you got to
- 46:49Speaker 1: keep fighting, got to keep playing through this you never know, well,
- 46:55Speaker 1: you're probably not going to make the playoffs, you know,
- 46:57Speaker 1: even if you'd make a run here, you're so far
- 46:59Speaker 1: down here, you're probably not. But let me just let
- 47:01Speaker 1: me just tell you this. Twenty twenty. Okay, as crazy
- 47:05Speaker 1: as that season was, Cowboys were three and nine, three
- 47:09Speaker 1: and nine, and I would imagine they were looking at
- 47:12Speaker 1: the top, a top five pick there. And they lost.
- 47:18Speaker 1: You know, they lost a really tough game on to Baltimore,
- 47:24Speaker 1: They lost a bad bad Thanksgiving lost to Washington. I
- 47:27Speaker 1: mean that one, that one is bad as bad as
- 47:28Speaker 1: he gets. Then they win three out of four games
- 47:32Speaker 1: down the stretch. They beat the forty nine ers, the Eagles,
- 47:36Speaker 1: they beat Cincinnati on the road, and lost a close
- 47:39Speaker 1: one to the Giants. So that pushed him into six
- 47:42Speaker 1: and ten. Did that hurt their draft pick? Yeah it did.
- 47:45Speaker 1: They did it with Michael Parsons, So that's kind of
- 47:48Speaker 1: to my point where maybe it didn't hurt at that bad.
- 47:51Speaker 1: But but those guys that played there at the end.
- 47:55Speaker 1: I remember Donovan Wilson getting some interceptions and making some
- 47:58Speaker 1: plays there. I remember Ceedee Lamb making some plays at
- 48:01Speaker 1: the end of his rookie year. That's just to name
- 48:03Speaker 1: a few there. I think Dalton Schultz was a you know,
- 48:06Speaker 1: young player making some plays, and so that's what I
- 48:09Speaker 1: think Jerry's talking about. They didn't they hurt their draft pick.
- 48:13Speaker 1: They won three out of four, moved it up to
- 48:14Speaker 1: six and ten, moved down in the draft. But I
- 48:17Speaker 1: got you, I bet you they gained a lot more
- 48:20Speaker 1: with some of those players that played well, got some confidence,
- 48:24Speaker 1: carried on, and they went twelve and five the next
- 48:26Speaker 1: year in the next two after that. So there's something
- 48:28Speaker 1: to be said for this. It's just not easy to equate.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Let's go to one more caller, Curtis and ad to Oklahoma.
- 48:35Speaker 15: Hey, I know you're wrapping up here yourself as quick
- 48:38Speaker 15: as I can. I love beating Washington, but I also
- 48:42Speaker 15: am very sad about our draft position that the win caused,
- 48:45Speaker 15: and we're probably going to beat the Giants this week.
- 48:48Speaker 15: Out of this season, there's not a lot of expectation
- 48:52Speaker 15: with the injuries and stuff. I just think it's a
- 48:53Speaker 15: good season to go ahead and explore your roster get
- 48:57Speaker 15: a high pick. The next thing. I wonder if you
- 49:01Speaker 15: could find some middle of the road AFC team and
- 49:04Speaker 15: you could get a first round pick for Cavante Turpin,
- 49:08Speaker 15: and then lastly, I had heard of jan Ye Thomas,
- 49:13Speaker 15: but I've finally seen the spelling for his first name,
- 49:16Speaker 15: and I was pretty taken back that it's literally Juan Yer,
- 49:20Speaker 15: like wa In or jua In, and so I just
- 49:24Speaker 15: thought that was pretty interesting. But anyways, thanks for having
- 49:26Speaker 15: me on you guys, have a great day.
- 49:28Speaker 1: All right, thanks so everything I just said Curtis right
- 49:31Speaker 1: right before that about winning games, how important it is,
- 49:35Speaker 1: and then you come right in there and say you
- 49:37Speaker 1: disappointed we wanted to highre draft pick. I can't. I
- 49:41Speaker 1: can't say it again. So I disagree obviously because I
- 49:44Speaker 1: just said it right before you did. So, hey, the
- 49:46Speaker 1: draft pick is what it is. You'll play, And like
- 49:49Speaker 1: we've said all along, you don't have to like try
- 49:52Speaker 1: and play younger guys. You have to you have to play.
- 49:56Speaker 1: They had twelve combined Pro Bowls on their inactive list.
- 50:00Speaker 1: That's not even counting the guys that are on you know,
- 50:03Speaker 1: ir right now with Dak and Tank and I'm sure
- 50:06Speaker 1: there's others, but I mean just the guys that they
- 50:09Speaker 1: decided to sit last week of your seven inactives. Ferguson
- 50:14Speaker 1: Tyler Smith Trayvon Diggs and of course Zach Martin. So
- 50:19Speaker 1: you don't have to try in tank games or play
- 50:22Speaker 1: younger guys you're having to do that. So you just
- 50:25Speaker 1: go out there and play. We'll see what happens. See
- 50:27Speaker 1: what happened. We're going to talk about it tomorrow. This
- 50:29Speaker 1: is not our last show of the week. We'll talk
- 50:32Speaker 1: about it on Wednesday when we get ready for Cowboys
- 50:35Speaker 1: and Giants. Great show as always for Chris Beam, I'm
- 50:38Speaker 1: Nick Eatman. We will see you next time on Cowboys Storyline.
