- 0:01Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
- 0:03Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Cowboys. This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
- 0:19Speaker 3: What is up? It's time for Cowboys storyline. It is Thursday,
- 0:23Speaker 3: October the twelfth, right, Yeah, days were all messed up
- 0:27Speaker 3: a little bit when in terms of Monday night game
- 0:29Speaker 3: kind of it kind of jacks up with your schedule
- 0:32Speaker 3: a little bit. Though. I know the Cowboys are playing
- 0:35Speaker 3: the Chargers on Monday night. This game can't get here
- 0:38Speaker 3: soon enough, at least from our standpoint. Of course, the players,
- 0:42Speaker 3: the team coaches probably like to have that little extra
- 0:45Speaker 3: time to prepare, and Lord knows they need it. I mean,
- 0:48Speaker 3: they're they're facing a Chargers team that's sitting there that
- 0:50Speaker 3: they're going to have about as long as you can
- 0:52Speaker 3: have between games that they had the bye week last
- 0:55Speaker 3: week and then that Monday night game, so they'll be
- 0:58Speaker 3: rested and ready. Of course, they're getting just about everybody back,
- 1:03Speaker 3: the guys that have been hurt for them. I think
- 1:05Speaker 3: Austin Eckler, Joey Bosa, Derwin James. I feel like all
- 1:10Speaker 3: of those guys are returning. So cool. It'll be fun
- 1:13Speaker 3: for the Cowboys to face them. Of course, this is
- 1:16Speaker 3: like I've said before, I think the biggest game of
- 1:19Speaker 3: the season right now, this one right here. He shouldn't
- 1:21Speaker 3: come this early, but I think so. I think you're
- 1:24Speaker 3: at that fork in the road where the team you
- 1:26Speaker 3: want to be, the season you want to have, is
- 1:30Speaker 3: still there, and even if you lose, obviously three and
- 1:33Speaker 3: three would be you know, you can turn things around
- 1:36Speaker 3: from that. It's happened before. But I definitely think though,
- 1:40Speaker 3: from the psyche of this team going into the bye week,
- 1:43Speaker 3: with the fact that your offense is struggling and you've
- 1:46Speaker 3: got the guy that was running this offense now over
- 1:49Speaker 3: here with the Chargers, he's calling plays for them, I
- 1:53Speaker 3: think it'll be a very, very tough loss if the
- 1:55Speaker 3: Cowboys can't come up with a win. But you know,
- 1:59Speaker 3: we'll see how they get there. It should be a
- 2:00Speaker 3: lot of fun. All right, Let's go to uh the
- 2:03Speaker 3: first caller here. You guys know how to do this
- 2:05Speaker 3: that way eight eight, five, five to seven. That is
- 2:08Speaker 3: the phone line. We've got text line questions as well.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Eight one seven, two nine zero three two nine eight,
- 2:14Speaker 3: But we're gonna start with the phones. UH, Dayton and
- 2:17Speaker 3: Maryland you're number one out of the jump here daytone.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Stating the gatement man, first time called up?
- 2:24Speaker 3: All right, long time listening, love it love the first
- 2:27Speaker 3: time callers.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Man, how you doing another show man?
- 2:30Speaker 3: Appreciate it? How you doing man?
- 2:33Speaker 4: I'm doing good. I got three questions for you, all right?
- 2:37Speaker 4: So my first one is, so do you think uh
- 2:42Speaker 4: the Cowboys in general?
- 2:45Speaker 5: Uh?
- 2:46Speaker 4: I want to say, I do you see them getting
- 2:50Speaker 4: like another like, you know, picking up somebody another person,
- 2:53Speaker 4: like creating just any position in general? Like you think
- 2:57Speaker 4: we still need something, some type of help anywhere possibly,
- 3:01Speaker 4: you know, in general. And my second question is.
- 3:06Speaker 6: Do you feel like.
- 3:09Speaker 4: The Cowboys need some type of you know, change like
- 3:15Speaker 4: coaching far as far as this the the coordinator or something.
- 3:21Speaker 4: I'm just asking opinion on that. Do you think that,
- 3:24Speaker 4: you know, maybe because this is the first time I
- 3:27Speaker 4: ever seen, you know, them not be able to get
- 3:29Speaker 4: nothing really in the red zone in a long time.
- 3:33Speaker 4: I ain't gonna see this in a long time. But
- 3:36Speaker 4: that's that's my second question. And third question is do
- 3:42Speaker 4: you think the Cowboys I started to miss their former
- 3:47Speaker 4: number one receiver? And I'm gonna hang.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Up a listener, Okay, I guess you're referring to it,
- 3:53Speaker 3: Mark Cooper. I mean, I guess that's what is that
- 3:55Speaker 3: you're talking about, Mark Cooper. Yeah, okay, all right, I
- 3:59Speaker 3: appreciate that. Thanks, thank you for the call and the questions.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Let's just start down the line. I mean, do they
- 4:04Speaker 3: need to add a player? I mean, if it makes sense.
- 4:08Speaker 3: I mean I'm always I don't mean to sound like
- 4:11Speaker 3: that's what Steven Jones would That's how he would answer that.
- 4:14Speaker 3: You know, we're always looking, you know, talent acquisition three
- 4:18Speaker 3: hundred and sixty five days a year, you know, I yes,
- 4:20Speaker 3: I mean all that makes sense, but it has to
- 4:23Speaker 3: and since you mentioned Demari Cooper, it has to be
- 4:25Speaker 3: a move like that where you know, if you're going
- 4:27Speaker 3: to add a player, you're going to have to give
- 4:29Speaker 3: up some draft capital probably or players on your own team.
- 4:32Speaker 3: But it needs to be somebody that that I think
- 4:35Speaker 3: could not only help immediately, but probably help down the
- 4:40Speaker 3: road as well. So you know, yeah, I mean, you
- 4:44Speaker 3: can't sit here and talk about other players on other teams.
- 4:47Speaker 3: I mean what positions. I mean, it would need to
- 4:49Speaker 3: be somebody that could come right in and help them.
- 4:53Speaker 3: I could see it being a cornerback. I could see
- 4:56Speaker 3: it being you know, I don't really want to say
- 5:01Speaker 3: a tight end. I don't know if a tight end
- 5:02Speaker 3: is going to help you immediately because of you know
- 5:06Speaker 3: how how it takes a little bit of time to
- 5:09Speaker 3: to get you know, acclimented to offense and all that.
- 5:12Speaker 3: You know, maybe running back, you know, I it'd have
- 5:15Speaker 3: to be somebody, you know, maybe with some power, but
- 5:18Speaker 3: it would just have to be somebody that makes sense
- 5:19Speaker 3: not only for this year, but down the road coaching changes,
- 5:22Speaker 3: you know, as far as like duties and stuff like that. Sure,
- 5:25Speaker 3: I could see them handling some things like that, probably
- 5:28Speaker 3: more in house, but you know, at this point, yeah,
- 5:31Speaker 3: it's not too late and too early to to you know,
- 5:34Speaker 3: move some things around a little bit. And then as
- 5:36Speaker 3: far as Mari Cooper goes, I mean, no, no, you
- 5:40Speaker 3: I don't think so, because nobody asked that question last year.
- 5:43Speaker 3: I mean, unleass year ceedee Lamb got to a level
- 5:46Speaker 3: that we haven't seen since really since I guess Dez Bryant,
- 5:49Speaker 3: maybe Michael Irvin. As far as like second team All Pro,
- 5:52Speaker 3: I mean it was a pro bowler one hundred and
- 5:53Speaker 3: seven catches. We've never seen a receiver do that. So no,
- 5:56Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think I think you're number
- 5:58Speaker 3: one receivers here in seed Lamb. They just got to
- 6:01Speaker 3: figure out how to get him the ball. I mean,
- 6:02Speaker 3: there's no doubt about it. So all right, let's go
- 6:06Speaker 3: to the next caller, Brian in Kansas City. Brian, what's up.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Good morningtod morning. How are you.
- 6:12Speaker 5: I'm doing pretty good, man, I'm doing pretty good. Hey.
- 6:15Speaker 5: I know somebody asked this. I don't know if it
- 6:17Speaker 5: was yesterday of the day before, but.
- 6:19Speaker 6: One of the things I was hoping maybe you'd have
- 6:21Speaker 6: a little bit of an update on Rashaun Evans, what
- 6:24Speaker 6: you know about him and anything like that.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I got any other questions or yeah.
- 6:30Speaker 5: So and then I was gonna throw out an old
- 6:31Speaker 5: timer stuff so nobody ever brings it up.
- 6:35Speaker 6: But he was kind of a romo of my era,
- 6:37Speaker 6: Danny White.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, if you had a Danny White story, brother,
- 6:42Speaker 3: oh man, I meant, I mean, I got Danny White's
- 6:47Speaker 3: stories because as a kid like I was Danny White.
- 6:54Speaker 3: You know, I was at my front yard, backyard whatever.
- 6:56Speaker 3: I mean, I was Danny White. I mean, nineteen eighty
- 6:59Speaker 3: three is the first year that I remember being you know,
- 7:02Speaker 3: like really being a Cowboy fan, and he was the
- 7:05Speaker 3: quarterback and he had a great season that year too.
- 7:07Speaker 3: He was never you know, really appreciated all the way fully.
- 7:11Speaker 3: You know, sometimes he was always fighting for his job
- 7:13Speaker 3: with Gary Hogan Boom or whatever. But you know he
- 7:16Speaker 3: was and it was tough because, uh he he joined it,
- 7:21Speaker 3: you know, an era where you know, it was he
- 7:23Speaker 3: was replacing Roger strawback and and they weren't as good.
- 7:27Speaker 3: I mean the team started to to you know, go
- 7:29Speaker 3: down in the eighties and they were pretty good, just
- 7:33Speaker 3: not good enough to get to the super Bowl and
- 7:35Speaker 3: not to get to that level that they were in
- 7:37Speaker 3: the seventies. So he's always going to be underappreciated from
- 7:39Speaker 3: that standpoint. You know, think about it. Think about now,
- 7:43Speaker 3: like you know, as a first string quarterback and punter.
- 7:46Speaker 3: So you know Danny, Yeah, I mean he's he was
- 7:51Speaker 3: and now you know he's still doing stuff, you know
- 7:53Speaker 3: with the with the radio does Compass Radio, so he
- 7:55Speaker 3: does the games. We see him all the time, and uh,
- 7:59Speaker 3: you know, I I just I'm trying to think of
- 8:02Speaker 3: some specific things. But but yeah, Danny, Danny White was
- 8:06Speaker 3: you know He was a guy that I always looked
- 8:07Speaker 3: up to because, like when I was first watching football,
- 8:11Speaker 3: he was the quarterback of the team. And you know,
- 8:14Speaker 3: I still they were so close. They were so close
- 8:16Speaker 3: in the early eighties. And just imagine a play or
- 8:19Speaker 3: two here and there, and then narrative on Danny White
- 8:22Speaker 3: could change dramatically, you know. I mean, they don't lose
- 8:25Speaker 3: that game in the catch game where they get a
- 8:27Speaker 3: couple more plays and get a field goal and win
- 8:30Speaker 3: that game and go to the super Bowl, and you know,
- 8:32Speaker 3: like then his whole mantra changes a little bit there.
- 8:36Speaker 3: So all right. As for Rashaun Evans, Yeah, that's the name.
- 8:40Speaker 3: It sounded like from last that I heard, they were
- 8:42Speaker 3: like waiting on a physical there for him, probably going
- 8:45Speaker 3: to sign him to the practice squad. They could elevate him,
- 8:49Speaker 3: you know, on game day if they need to. I
- 8:51Speaker 3: had a lot of tackles last year or the Atlanta
- 8:53Speaker 3: like one hundred and fifty. It's a lot. It's a
- 8:56Speaker 3: lot of tackles. But usually when you make a lot
- 8:59Speaker 3: of plays like that, you go to a team the
- 9:01Speaker 3: next year. So so I don't know the whole story
- 9:04Speaker 3: on him and kind of why he is you know,
- 9:07Speaker 3: hasn't really been with another team like this year he
- 9:10Speaker 3: was with the Eagles. The practice squad didn't last long there.
- 9:13Speaker 3: So you know, this is one of those things. Cowboys
- 9:15Speaker 3: are going to be down with some linebackers. They're kicking
- 9:17Speaker 3: the tires on guys to see, you know, you know,
- 9:20Speaker 3: can can they can they fit into this system? Uh?
- 9:23Speaker 3: And so that's that's kind of the situation they're in there,
- 9:26Speaker 3: all right. When you let's go to the next caller,
- 9:30Speaker 3: Jeff in North Carolina. Jeff, Hey, how you doing, Nick good?
- 9:35Speaker 3: How are you doing?
- 9:37Speaker 7: Love the show man, I love the show.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Appreciate it, Thank you so much.
- 9:42Speaker 7: I just want to make a statement, you know. I
- 9:45Speaker 7: know they've talked, you talked a lot this week about
- 9:48Speaker 7: about Dak and everything, and and yesterday I was listening
- 9:51Speaker 7: to the media mash and I just appreciate what Clarence
- 9:55Speaker 7: Hill said yesterday.
- 9:57Speaker 6: When you know, if you it's.
- 9:59Speaker 7: Fair to critcizes Dak on the way he's playing, but
- 10:03Speaker 7: the way some of these former players are just attacking
- 10:06Speaker 7: him and calling him names, I mean, you know, you
- 10:09Speaker 7: got to remember, I mean, these are human beings too,
- 10:12Speaker 7: you know, and and just.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Who's who's doing that by the way, I don't.
- 10:17Speaker 7: Know like Dante Dante Winter and uh and Lashawn McCoy,
- 10:21Speaker 7: you know, they just called him trash and and uh,
- 10:25Speaker 7: stuff like that, and Clarence spoke out about that. Yeah,
- 10:29Speaker 7: former players, you know, they've not been trained to you know,
- 10:32Speaker 7: to be in the media sometimes and and they just
- 10:36Speaker 7: wanting to get attention, getting clicks and and it's just
- 10:39Speaker 7: it's just sad, you know, because because you can, like
- 10:43Speaker 7: like what you've been saying, it's fair to criticize the
- 10:48Speaker 7: Dak's the way Dak's playing and stuff, and the Cowboys
- 10:51Speaker 7: may have to make decisions after the season, but but
- 10:55Speaker 7: don't attack him personally, don't call them trash, don't say
- 10:58Speaker 7: sucks and stuff like that, like what they were saying
- 11:01Speaker 7: on there, and uh, and I just you know, I
- 11:04Speaker 7: just I appreciate what Clarence said because Clarence, Clarence tries
- 11:08Speaker 7: to be fair to me, you know, he's he know,
- 11:10Speaker 7: and but that's just that's what I wanted to say.
- 11:14Speaker 7: I hope they turn things around.
- 11:16Speaker 5: And uh, yeah, thank you so much.
- 11:18Speaker 7: For the appreciate taking my call and I and I'd
- 11:21Speaker 7: like to hear what.
- 11:22Speaker 5: You have to say.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Thanks Jeff, I appreciate that. You know, sometimes former players,
- 11:29Speaker 3: it's a tricky deal. It really is, because I this
- 11:33Speaker 3: is the way I view a lot of things in life,
- 11:35Speaker 3: is what's your agenda? Everyone's got one, and then there's
- 11:39Speaker 3: nothing wrong with that, but just what is your agenda?
- 11:41Speaker 3: And sometimes I've seen it where former players pop off
- 11:45Speaker 3: and say some ridiculous statement, and and it's not so
- 11:48Speaker 3: much to say, hey, this is what I think about this.
- 11:52Speaker 3: It's really more about don't forget about me. I'm still around,
- 11:55Speaker 3: you know. I mean, I'm I'm you know, I'm you know,
- 11:57Speaker 3: I didn't haven't played in a few years, but you
- 11:59Speaker 3: know I did this and this. I mean a lot
- 12:01Speaker 3: of players that they they missed the spotlight and so
- 12:04Speaker 3: when they get it, and maybe they're not on a
- 12:07Speaker 3: show or whatever they're they're just they're just getting interviewed
- 12:10Speaker 3: by something, you know, they they they pop off and
- 12:12Speaker 3: it happens a lot. Let me also say this on
- 12:16Speaker 3: our podcast here and and also the shows that we
- 12:20Speaker 3: have in the studio. We've got Barry Church, Danny McCrae,
- 12:25Speaker 3: Isaiah stand Back, Named Newton, Jesse, Holly Hope. I'm not
- 12:29Speaker 3: missing anyone. I mean, we We've got a lot of
- 12:31Speaker 3: guys that played in the NFL, and their perspective as
- 12:35Speaker 3: players is different than what anyone else can can bring.
- 12:39Speaker 3: They have we haven't played, so they bring that to
- 12:42Speaker 3: the table and and and that is very, very valuable.
- 12:45Speaker 3: So the guys you just mentioned former players, they can
- 12:48Speaker 3: talk like that. Michael Irvin does it too. But I
- 12:52Speaker 3: always have a problem when they talk about what's going
- 12:55Speaker 3: on in the locker room. You have been in locker
- 12:58Speaker 3: rooms before, you haven't been in this one. So Donald,
- 13:00Speaker 3: don't sit here and say that you know what's going
- 13:02Speaker 3: on in the leadership and so and so CD needs
- 13:05Speaker 3: to do this or DAK needs to do this. You
- 13:06Speaker 3: don't know. You don't know. You have been in locker
- 13:09Speaker 3: rooms before, you have an idea how it typically goes,
- 13:12Speaker 3: but you're not in the meetings here, and neither neither
- 13:15Speaker 3: of I, you know, so like we're kind of in
- 13:17Speaker 3: the locker room on media that you know, when when
- 13:19Speaker 3: the media is open. So that's why it's really tough
- 13:22Speaker 3: to always listen to former players. They understand the game,
- 13:27Speaker 3: they understand the dynamics of locker room and teammates and
- 13:30Speaker 3: all that stuff when they were playing. But not always
- 13:33Speaker 3: every single one. So I mean, I have a house,
- 13:37Speaker 3: you have a house, but I don't know what's going
- 13:38Speaker 3: on in your house just because I have one. Just
- 13:40Speaker 3: because I have a car, I don't know what's going
- 13:42Speaker 3: on with your car. I mean that, you know what
- 13:43Speaker 3: I'm saying. So it's really tough with that. You know,
- 13:47Speaker 3: I don't know that Dante wit I don't even know.
- 13:50Speaker 3: I don't even remember who that is, honestly, but that's
- 13:52Speaker 3: kind of the point. That's what he's trying to do.
- 13:55Speaker 3: So you can google his name and go, who's this
- 13:56Speaker 3: guy again? Who's Lashawn McCoy? Like, you know, I get it,
- 14:00Speaker 3: and saw McCoy. He's trying to be stephen A. We
- 14:03Speaker 3: all know that. We all know that he's got an agenda. Cool,
- 14:06Speaker 3: good for him. All right, let's go to Alan mercle
- 14:09Speaker 3: Texas Al. What's up all right? Now? You there?
- 14:16Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 14:16Speaker 3: All right? What's that mean?
- 14:18Speaker 6: Hey? I was just going to make a couple of
- 14:22Speaker 6: comments throughout the Cowboys.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Okay, come home? What do you got?
- 14:27Speaker 6: Oh? The first one was I think the dungeons and
- 14:33Speaker 6: Dragons of football have ruined most people's opinions of football
- 14:37Speaker 6: with these fantasy leagues. Anybody can, you know, make changes
- 14:42Speaker 6: when they want to, and they think that's how the
- 14:44Speaker 6: NFL should be. And then the second opinion is, I
- 14:48Speaker 6: think the Cowboys got not only hit in the mouth,
- 14:52Speaker 6: but kicking the boys. And I think they'll respond for
- 14:56Speaker 6: the next three or four games and I think we'll
- 14:59Speaker 6: forget about this game after they when the next three
- 15:02Speaker 6: or four and we will be back to where we
- 15:05Speaker 6: were before and hopefully again we'll be able to play
- 15:09Speaker 6: a little bit better.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I agree. I mean I think it
- 15:14Speaker 3: is gonna be a long season, and I mean that's
- 15:16Speaker 3: what it is. It always happens like that Week four,
- 15:20Speaker 3: Week five, even big wins too, you know, big wins
- 15:23Speaker 3: that that you want to you know, hope that propel
- 15:25Speaker 3: you to something else. It doesn't always happen like that. So, uh,
- 15:29Speaker 3: you know, I I definitely think that this this team
- 15:33Speaker 3: is going is in a transition period where you know,
- 15:36Speaker 3: we'll see what happens, We'll see how they how they
- 15:39Speaker 3: react down the road, you know, how they respond to
- 15:42Speaker 3: this one. This is going to be you know, a
- 15:44Speaker 3: key moment for the for this you know, turning point
- 15:47Speaker 3: kind of for this team. Right before the bye. You've
- 15:49Speaker 3: got to figure out, you know, how they they're going
- 15:52Speaker 3: to respond, and they have responded well in the past.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Doesn't mean they're gonna respond well Monday nine. But every
- 15:57Speaker 3: challenge is different. But but you're right there, they got tested.
- 16:00Speaker 3: They got tested in a lot of ways, more than
- 16:02Speaker 3: just you know, from a physical standpoint, and so now
- 16:06Speaker 3: that they have to you know, they've been embarrassed. This
- 16:08Speaker 3: is embarrassing, and everyone's doing all their their stuff in there.
- 16:11Speaker 3: I saw that people are mopping with with the Cowboys
- 16:14Speaker 3: jerseys and mopping the floors. I mean cool, you know,
- 16:17Speaker 3: and and credit to ESPN for putting it out there,
- 16:20Speaker 3: you know, like that's the good, good, good job them.
- 16:22Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's cool. There's not like Baseball playoffs
- 16:25Speaker 3: or anything else going on. Let's put that out there
- 16:27Speaker 3: so you know, the shows. I don't think that shows
- 16:29Speaker 3: what the Cowboys fans necessarily feel about this team all
- 16:32Speaker 3: the way. But you know, when you when you put
- 16:34Speaker 3: one or two out there, it's certainly sensational to say
- 16:39Speaker 3: the least. But I think the Cowboys, you know, they're
- 16:41Speaker 3: gonna be facing a lot in this game, and more
- 16:43Speaker 3: than just the Chargers. They have to kind of figure
- 16:45Speaker 3: out how they how they respond, so we'll see how
- 16:48Speaker 3: they do. All right, let's go back to the phone line. Now,
- 16:51Speaker 3: Tony in Alexandria, Virginia, Tony, what's up? You're on?
- 16:55Speaker 8: What's up currently in Alexander, Virginia. But personal note, actually
- 17:01Speaker 8: that my family and I excarded about we actually close
- 17:04Speaker 8: on a house build and we're going to be moving
- 17:06Speaker 8: to the Dallas area within the next.
- 17:09Speaker 6: Two years here.
- 17:10Speaker 8: So we're really good about that. So so you know,
- 17:15Speaker 8: as a Cowboys fan, at least for me, you know,
- 17:19Speaker 8: they're a former player, and I think we just touched
- 17:20Speaker 8: on this a little bit on one of your last calls.
- 17:23Speaker 8: You know, there are certain former players and local media.
- 17:27Speaker 8: I want to stress local media that I pay strong
- 17:30Speaker 8: attention to. You know, for instance, players Michael Irvin, after
- 17:34Speaker 8: he calms down to whatever he has to say, I
- 17:36Speaker 8: take strong attention to what you have to say. Beyond Sanders,
- 17:40Speaker 8: I say strong attention to what he has to say.
- 17:43Speaker 8: Nate Newton, I pays strong attention to what he has
- 17:47Speaker 8: to say. Your boy Darren Woodson, I pay strong attention
- 17:50Speaker 8: to what he has to say. And then you have
- 17:52Speaker 8: the local media there Mickey, Derek, Ryan Ambar and yourself.
- 17:57Speaker 8: The reason why I listen to you guys is because
- 17:59Speaker 8: I value your opinion. That's why I'm on. That's why
- 18:03Speaker 8: you know I'm trying to get on here and uh
- 18:05Speaker 8: and talk to you because Nick, I value your opinion.
- 18:07Speaker 8: In hell, there are some callers that you know, we
- 18:10Speaker 8: all have our opinion and some callers are going to
- 18:13Speaker 8: agree with, some may not agree with. Like you know,
- 18:15Speaker 8: us all Cowboys fans, we can agree to disagree on
- 18:18Speaker 8: things that we may not that we may not agree on.
- 18:22Speaker 8: But one caller in particular that I kind of agree with,
- 18:25Speaker 8: and it was called in a couple of times from
- 18:27Speaker 8: Rob from Vegas, and I, you know, I kind of
- 18:30Speaker 8: agree with what he's saying about Dak. But my whole
- 18:34Speaker 8: thing is this goes back to when they let Amari
- 18:38Speaker 8: Cooper go. In my opinion, they let Amari Cooper go
- 18:42Speaker 8: but did not replace them. And I know you just
- 18:44Speaker 8: said a little while ago, you're number one receiver. Cede
- 18:47Speaker 8: Lamb is here. I want cdee Lamb on my team.
- 18:49Speaker 8: But if he's going to be our one, then we
- 18:51Speaker 8: need a one A because if you can, if you
- 18:54Speaker 8: pay attention to some of these other teams that are
- 18:55Speaker 8: out there, Billy A. J. Brown, Devonte Smith, Stampons just
- 19:00Speaker 8: so be the deebo I use, Seattle metcalf Lock in
- 19:03Speaker 8: Miami hill Waddle. They all have weapons and more than
- 19:08Speaker 8: one weapon. And in my opinion, just our other weapons
- 19:11Speaker 8: aren't stepping up. I mean besides to me, in my opinion,
- 19:14Speaker 8: besides Ceedee Lamb and Tony Pollard, I don't know who
- 19:18Speaker 8: I'm not often carrying. And so that's just what I
- 19:22Speaker 8: had to say. And you know yesterday, you know it's
- 19:24Speaker 8: so true about the roller roller coaster cycle that you
- 19:27Speaker 8: talk about, because that's me how you explain the Mondays
- 19:29Speaker 8: Sunday where you want to burn your cowboy after a
- 19:31Speaker 8: lot by Sunday, it's you know, you want to wear
- 19:34Speaker 8: your EyeBlack and it's and you don't want to get
- 19:38Speaker 8: back on, but you do because like you said, I've
- 19:40Speaker 8: heard you stay time and time it chooses you. You know,
- 19:43Speaker 8: it shows me back in nineteen seventy eight, when I
- 19:46Speaker 8: was a six year old in Frevank and growing up
- 19:47Speaker 8: in Frebanks, Alasa of all places, when my neighbor came
- 19:50Speaker 8: over with a knit hat that had Dallas verticals the
- 19:54Speaker 8: Star and then Cowboys vertical on the other side. I
- 19:57Speaker 8: saw that and I was chosen and and you know,
- 20:01Speaker 8: I want them to win another ring bad. And it's
- 20:04Speaker 8: not just not for me, but it's you know, I
- 20:06Speaker 8: have a friend now I would like him to experience.
- 20:08Speaker 8: And then the fans that we're not around, so like
- 20:11Speaker 8: the last Super Bowls since ninety five, who they've all
- 20:14Speaker 8: got to be wet in their late twenties by now,
- 20:16Speaker 8: I want it for them as well, because I want
- 20:18Speaker 8: them to experience it and what it's like to you know,
- 20:22Speaker 8: see your team that you follow and you're invested in,
- 20:24Speaker 8: feelings wise and all that other stuff. I want to
- 20:27Speaker 8: see it because you know, if there's no other feeling
- 20:30Speaker 8: like that when you know a team that you're invested
- 20:32Speaker 8: in reaches the mountaintop in and gets the chips. So
- 20:35Speaker 8: that's what I wanted to say. Thanks for taking the call.
- 20:38Speaker 6: I love your show.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Thank you, Tony. You know, I think you speak for
- 20:41Speaker 3: a lot of cowboy fans when you say that, And
- 20:44Speaker 3: because whether we think we don't think about it all
- 20:47Speaker 3: the time like this, but it's why we we do it.
- 20:50Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's why you you go. These guys
- 20:54Speaker 3: and girls get on the shows and and and you know,
- 20:57Speaker 3: listen to podcasts, listen to you know, or you read
- 21:01Speaker 3: blogs and things like that. You know, and some especially
- 21:04Speaker 3: people that do it at odd hours of the night
- 21:06Speaker 3: because they're all over you know, stationed in different countries
- 21:09Speaker 3: or whatever. It's because you want that feeling and even
- 21:13Speaker 3: if you don't know that it exists. We got Cowboy
- 21:16Speaker 3: fans that are probably younger than twenty seven twenty eight
- 21:19Speaker 3: years old. Obviously they are, and they don't know what
- 21:22Speaker 3: it's like to actually climb the mountain. But but when
- 21:25Speaker 3: it's there, it's it's the it is the greatest feeling.
- 21:27Speaker 3: And that's why I challenge anyone when they say we
- 21:31Speaker 3: you're like, well we lost the game or we did this,
- 21:34Speaker 3: like we you didn't play BFS, Okay, because yeah it
- 21:39Speaker 3: is we because I'm it is definitely a week because
- 21:42Speaker 3: you're invested in it, so so Tony, you speak for
- 21:45Speaker 3: a lot of people like that, Yes, it is. You
- 21:47Speaker 3: definitely deserve that. You guys are You guys deserve more
- 21:51Speaker 3: than what we're what we've seen. And that's not a
- 21:54Speaker 3: shot at anybody. It's just when you're when you put
- 21:57Speaker 3: in all the time and you want to see this
- 21:59Speaker 3: team succeed and you wear the shirt and you sit
- 22:02Speaker 3: at the right spot in the couch every time because
- 22:04Speaker 3: you feel like this is gonna help you. It's because
- 22:06Speaker 3: you just want them to win so bad and it
- 22:08Speaker 3: doesn't happen, and it hasn't happened to the level that
- 22:11Speaker 3: the Cowboys fans deserve. But there's a lot of fans
- 22:13Speaker 3: and a lot of teams that haven't experienced that. Either.
- 22:16Speaker 3: We're we're we're right here in Dallas. The Texas Rangers
- 22:18Speaker 3: are getting, you know, to a point where they really
- 22:21Speaker 3: haven't haven't been very often, and you know, and and
- 22:24Speaker 3: the fans are so excited, and you know, and they've
- 22:27Speaker 3: got you know, they've got it. They've got their own
- 22:29Speaker 3: forty nine ers to face. If you think the Cowboys
- 22:31Speaker 3: are mentally, you know, having a hard time getting over
- 22:33Speaker 3: the hurdle with the forty nine ers, the Rangers are
- 22:35Speaker 3: doing the same thing with the Astros. Is gonna be
- 22:37Speaker 3: really fun here. But but the point is is that
- 22:39Speaker 3: there's a lot of fans that they're just so hungry
- 22:42Speaker 3: for that that that taste. They haven't they haven't had
- 22:44Speaker 3: it yet, so maybe maybe they will. All right, let's
- 22:47Speaker 3: go to another call real quick before we go to break.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Fernando and Miami, Fernando, what's up?
- 22:52Speaker 5: Hey, good morning. Nick. I called you Monday and I
- 22:56Speaker 5: was talking about the offensive line, returned tackles and the
- 22:59Speaker 5: gall the author thing. Now, I think our slot receiver,
- 23:05Speaker 5: if you look at Brady, he had those Edelbin west Walker,
- 23:09Speaker 5: we had Cole Beasley. I think the guys were putting
- 23:12Speaker 5: in the slot are not slapped or not quick little dudes.
- 23:15Speaker 5: I think that would help that. If he had a
- 23:18Speaker 5: young Cole Beasley right now, like five years ago, I
- 23:22Speaker 5: think it would help him tremendously. I think putting CD
- 23:26Speaker 5: there gallop. They're not like a quack jittery dudes, and
- 23:31Speaker 5: that would really help him a lot.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Do you think Brandon Cooks is is that guy? I
- 23:38Speaker 3: mean he hasn't.
- 23:39Speaker 5: I thought he was going to be the slot guy
- 23:42Speaker 5: that I always really fast, and they put him on
- 23:44Speaker 5: the outside to Beasley.
- 23:48Speaker 3: No, no, Yeah. When I interviewed him for the first time,
- 23:52Speaker 3: I was surprised how short he was, though honestly I
- 23:54Speaker 3: thought he was. I thought I just thought he was
- 23:56Speaker 3: about six foot tall. I mean I didn't think he was.
- 23:58Speaker 3: He kind of had the same he has the same
- 24:01Speaker 3: body type as those guys you're talking about, But you're right,
- 24:04Speaker 3: he doesn't play it the same way. He's more of
- 24:06Speaker 3: an outside guy.
- 24:08Speaker 5: Not that what helped him tremendously.
- 24:10Speaker 6: Doc.
- 24:11Speaker 3: I'm with you. I mean, those those guys are those
- 24:13Speaker 3: guys are valuable, you know, and there's a lot of them.
- 24:16Speaker 3: I mean you mentioned three or four, five of them.
- 24:18Speaker 3: Thanks for the call, Fernando. You mentioned those guys. But
- 24:22Speaker 3: think about college football, high school football. How many of
- 24:25Speaker 3: those receivers are out there there? Every team's got the
- 24:29Speaker 3: five nine, five ten, five eleven guy that's you know,
- 24:32Speaker 3: short little guy that needs to be in the slot.
- 24:34Speaker 3: They don't. They don't. I mean you just went back
- 24:37Speaker 3: twenty years of players. There's about ten, maybe fifteen that
- 24:41Speaker 3: are really really doing it. It's tough. You've got to
- 24:45Speaker 3: be a crisp, crisp er outrunner. You've got to be
- 24:47Speaker 3: able to play some on the outside too. So there,
- 24:50Speaker 3: there's there's They just don't grow growing trees, those guys, don't.
- 24:55Speaker 3: I mean, yes, and they are very valuable. If you
- 24:57Speaker 3: can get some of those guys, just how quick they
- 24:59Speaker 3: are there mis Smat's nightmare. But I'm just saying I
- 25:02Speaker 3: don't think they're just all sitting there waiting to get
- 25:05Speaker 3: You've got to be tough, I mean, for being that size,
- 25:09Speaker 3: got to be able to take those hits. So that's
- 25:11Speaker 3: one of those things where I just feel like, if
- 25:14Speaker 3: you can find them, get them. But sometimes they don't
- 25:17Speaker 3: always pan out. All right, We're gonna take a break
- 25:19Speaker 3: real quick. On Cowboy storyline. We have a guy on
- 25:21Speaker 3: the line. We got some text message questions. We want
- 25:24Speaker 3: to get to be right back on Cowboy storyline.

- 25:28Speaker 9: Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he
- 25:31Speaker 9: bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to

- 27:35Speaker 3: Welcome back the Cowboys storyline Here, got some callers on
- 27:39Speaker 3: the line. We're gonna get some text message questions here.
- 27:41Speaker 3: We're gonna try to wrap up here in the next
- 27:43Speaker 3: We've got about fifteen minutes or so, maybe twenty. I
- 27:47Speaker 3: do want to say this when I had to call
- 27:48Speaker 3: her a few minutes ago from Kansas City, Brian, he said,
- 27:52Speaker 3: I got a former player in the like to throw
- 27:54Speaker 3: out there. And I know we do that a lot
- 27:56Speaker 3: on this show, where we say, hey, you know yetti
- 27:58Speaker 3: stories about former guys and all that the Cowboys lost
- 28:03Speaker 3: a true cowboy. Uh today or or maybe it might
- 28:06Speaker 3: have been yesterday, but just certainly this week in Walt Garrison,
- 28:10Speaker 3: who passed away, you talked about a cowboy. I mean,
- 28:14Speaker 3: this guy now only played Oklahoma State Cowboys, played for
- 28:17Speaker 3: the Cowboys. He was a cowboy. I mean, like in
- 28:20Speaker 3: real life. And everyone I think knows the story. I
- 28:23Speaker 3: know if you're if you've taken a tour here at
- 28:25Speaker 3: the Star, I mean that it's one of the things
- 28:26Speaker 3: that they mentioned as you're walking through and they talk
- 28:29Speaker 3: about signing bonuses and things like that. It's been it's
- 28:32Speaker 3: been well documented that, you know, Walt Garrison signing bonus
- 28:35Speaker 3: was like a trailer, uh, a horse trailer. So I
- 28:40Speaker 3: believe he still had it. But he passed away this week.
- 28:46Speaker 3: And uh, he was fullback running back. I mean, I
- 28:48Speaker 3: think we just had a call last week about about
- 28:53Speaker 3: Walt Garrison and how you know he he ran with
- 28:56Speaker 3: Calvin Hill and all that. He was kind of one
- 28:58Speaker 3: of those you know, old school the game has changed asleep,
- 29:00Speaker 3: but you know, a full back running back, tough guy,
- 29:03Speaker 3: and you know you couldn't you couldn't be more of
- 29:06Speaker 3: a cowboy than Walt Garrison. So I want to want
- 29:09Speaker 3: to pass on my thoughts and prayers to his family
- 29:12Speaker 3: and of course the cowboys. You know he was. He
- 29:15Speaker 3: was a true cowboy through and through, so I wanted
- 29:17Speaker 3: to definitely mention him. All right, let's go with Sebastian
- 29:20Speaker 3: in Savannah, Georgia.
- 29:22Speaker 12: Sebastian, I want to changed my whole call resting heaving
- 29:26Speaker 12: walk Garrison once a Cowboy with Juliet John Julia's I
- 29:30Speaker 12: believe it this with what with John Julias. I think
- 29:34Speaker 12: it was powered by Dan Reeves. Yeah, amazing cowboy right there.
- 29:38Speaker 12: That's I mean the man in the white cowboy had well,
- 29:41Speaker 12: that threw me off. You know, it's all good Hey,
- 29:45Speaker 12: good morning morning. Yeah yeah, I was thinking, I just,
- 29:49Speaker 12: you know, looked at all their games from San Francisco.
- 29:51Speaker 12: San Francisco has been doing this to like everything for
- 29:54Speaker 12: a minute now ever since they found their quarterback. They're
- 29:56Speaker 12: embarrassing people. So I don't feel as bad anymore. I'm
- 29:59Speaker 12: looking at the schedule and I'm like, man, I love
- 30:02Speaker 12: the schedule.
- 30:02Speaker 6: Nick.
- 30:03Speaker 12: This is the first time in a long time that
- 30:05Speaker 12: we when we when we get to the playoffs, No
- 30:07Speaker 12: one's going to say we haven't played anybody. We're gonna
- 30:10Speaker 12: be battle test that, we're gonna be ready, and we're
- 30:12Speaker 12: going to earn another shot of the title fight this year.
- 30:15Speaker 12: So I'm not worried when kelling them come in this week.
- 30:17Speaker 12: You know he's going to run the ball. He's actually
- 30:19Speaker 12: honestly been running it about fifty to fifty watching their
- 30:21Speaker 12: games right now. But you know they're going to be
- 30:24Speaker 12: bringing a little bit extra this week. So how do
- 30:26Speaker 12: you think our defense is going to hang out with
- 30:28Speaker 12: the run game from Austin Eckler. They use them in
- 30:30Speaker 12: the past game a lot too. And I'll hang up
- 30:32Speaker 12: and listen.
- 30:33Speaker 3: Yeah, great day, Thanks man, Thanks Sabastian. You know you're right.
- 30:36Speaker 3: I mean, Kellen's going to bring out everything that that
- 30:39Speaker 3: he's got. I think in this one, this is probably
- 30:42Speaker 3: going to be I think it's probably gonna be a
- 30:44Speaker 3: high scoring game. That's kind of what I feel like.
- 30:46Speaker 3: I just think, you know, all games kind of take
- 30:48Speaker 3: on a life of their own. I think I think
- 30:50Speaker 3: the Cowboys offense is going to we'll respond. I really
- 30:52Speaker 3: believe that, and I think they're going to score some points.
- 30:55Speaker 3: But I think they're going to have to, you know,
- 30:57Speaker 3: because I think that I think that the Chargers are
- 30:58Speaker 3: also going to uh light up the score. But I
- 31:01Speaker 3: think it's gonna be one of those games. I really do.
- 31:03Speaker 3: So you know, how do you how do you handle it?
- 31:05Speaker 8: Uh?
- 31:06Speaker 3: You know, you you've got you know, you've got to
- 31:08Speaker 3: make sure that that you get after Herbert because we
- 31:13Speaker 3: said this, I think yesterday. You know, they want to
- 31:15Speaker 3: take shots down the field. That's what they like to do.
- 31:17Speaker 3: They like to throw it deep. But you know, you
- 31:19Speaker 3: got to sit there in the pocket for a little
- 31:21Speaker 3: bit and and let that happen. And that's where Micah Tank,
- 31:26Speaker 3: Durrance Armstrong, Darrants. Armstrong has been pretty quiet, let's be honest,
- 31:29Speaker 3: Like he hasn't really done a whole lot this year.
- 31:32Speaker 3: He had we had a couple of sacks I think
- 31:34Speaker 3: in the first game, I mean we all did. I mean,
- 31:36Speaker 3: I mean I almost got one, you know, I mean
- 31:38Speaker 3: I would have had like eight seven sacks. No, but
- 31:41Speaker 3: Daarrance he had he think he had to that game.
- 31:43Speaker 3: But since then we haven't heard a lot from him.
- 31:45Speaker 3: This is one of those games where we need to
- 31:47Speaker 3: see him step up. I'd like to see Sam Williams
- 31:50Speaker 3: in there as well, Dante Fowler. You know these guys
- 31:53Speaker 3: I think that you know, especially if and and and
- 31:56Speaker 3: I say this, and I had a I had a
- 31:58Speaker 3: text question. I want to throw the name up here
- 32:00Speaker 3: to from His name was Brian. He talked about Micah
- 32:05Speaker 3: playing linebacker. What are the advantages of disadvantages you see
- 32:08Speaker 3: if Micah moves back to a true linebacker spot, which
- 32:11Speaker 3: has kind of been talked about a little bit. I
- 32:13Speaker 3: don't know if you'll see it all the time, but
- 32:15Speaker 3: but if that happens, let's just say, what are the
- 32:17Speaker 3: advantages the advantages are? You know, it's a look that
- 32:21Speaker 3: that the Chargers really haven't seen. Also, it puts him
- 32:24Speaker 3: in a in a position where he'll go and and
- 32:26Speaker 3: and you know, he should be able to chase the football.
- 32:29Speaker 3: And it's got one of your best players, if not
- 32:30Speaker 3: your your very best defensive player, to go get the
- 32:34Speaker 3: football and do it from all over the place. It's
- 32:36Speaker 3: hard to scheme against him. You can't. You know, you
- 32:38Speaker 3: couldn't scheme against ray Lewis. He was sitting in the
- 32:40Speaker 3: middle of the field, you know, And I don't know
- 32:42Speaker 3: if he'll play that spot, but it's just it's hard
- 32:44Speaker 3: to go away from Micah Parsons if he's if he's
- 32:49Speaker 3: lining up in different spots. So that's that's the one advantage.
- 32:54Speaker 3: The disadvantage though, is that you're not always getting your
- 32:57Speaker 3: best pass rusher to rush the passer, so you have
- 32:59Speaker 3: to kind of give that up a little bit. So
- 33:01Speaker 3: that that's one thing. But but I think that you know,
- 33:03Speaker 3: it's going to certainly be a challenge there. All right,
- 33:07Speaker 3: let's go to Robin Vegas.
- 33:09Speaker 6: Rob.
- 33:10Speaker 3: What's up?
- 33:11Speaker 4: Hey?
- 33:11Speaker 6: Nick?
- 33:12Speaker 3: What's up?
- 33:12Speaker 2: Mean?
- 33:13Speaker 3: You got you got other callers that are referencing you. Now,
- 33:15Speaker 3: you know you you've you've become You've become that that guy.
- 33:19Speaker 13: Now that's great.
- 33:20Speaker 3: What's up?
- 33:21Speaker 5: Man?
- 33:22Speaker 13: You know I've been giving Dack a lot of grief,
- 33:24Speaker 13: but I'm gonna throw this on, uh, Mike McCarty a little.
- 33:29Speaker 13: You know, maybe me and other fans we we didn't
- 33:32Speaker 13: hate Kellen Moore. I like this play calling, like a
- 33:36Speaker 13: situational play calling. There was too many times where we
- 33:40Speaker 13: would get eight yards on first down and then on
- 33:43Speaker 13: second down he would throw incomplete. Third down, we take
- 33:46Speaker 13: a sack and we're looking at each other like, why
- 33:48Speaker 13: don't we just from the bobet eight yards?
- 33:51Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 33:51Speaker 13: And I and I think the mistake we made, well
- 33:55Speaker 13: McCarthy made, and I think he made this because one
- 33:58Speaker 13: I think he wanted to be in the old saying,
- 34:01Speaker 13: if I'm going down with the ship, were going.
- 34:02Speaker 6: Down my way.
- 34:04Speaker 13: But I think the mistake was they blew the whole
- 34:07Speaker 13: thing up when they just needed to tweak it. And
- 34:10Speaker 13: twenty twenty one, I'm going to give Deck some love.
- 34:12Speaker 13: He was thirty thirty seven touchdown ten picks last year. Okay,
- 34:18Speaker 13: fifteen picks. But every Cowboy fan, anybody watching the games,
- 34:21Speaker 13: I would say five of them. I remember the one
- 34:24Speaker 13: where he hit hender shot in the hands and against
- 34:27Speaker 13: Tennessee and he slipped it up at it. I'm sorry,
- 34:30Speaker 13: I would take five interceptions away from Deck. That's only ten.
- 34:35Speaker 13: I think any fan right now, if we said Beck,
- 34:38Speaker 13: give us thirty and ten, we'd.
- 34:39Speaker 5: Be like, let's go take it right now.
- 34:42Speaker 13: I think the problem with Mike McCarthy's offense, what is
- 34:45Speaker 13: it's too basic that that worked twenty years ago. And honestly,
- 34:50Speaker 13: I think what we're seeing is if you'll get a
- 34:53Speaker 13: dink and dunk, you have to be perfect. You cannot
- 34:56Speaker 13: take tackles for loss, any penalties and you get one
- 35:02Speaker 13: of those things and you're put behind the chains. Now
- 35:04Speaker 13: it's first and twenty. All of a sudden, they just
- 35:06Speaker 13: stole because you know what they're gonna do. They're gonna
- 35:09Speaker 13: throw a three yard pass hoping he's going to turn
- 35:11Speaker 13: it into ten, which really happens, and they don't push
- 35:15Speaker 13: the ball. I think he needs to get look at
- 35:18Speaker 13: what they did, you know, on the kellen and mix
- 35:21Speaker 13: it back in.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I agree. I agree with that,
- 35:26Speaker 3: and I think you don't have the intermediate throws as much,
- 35:29Speaker 3: and your receivers are not guys that are just going
- 35:32Speaker 3: to shake people loose. So these two to three yard
- 35:35Speaker 3: passes and expecting them to get free for ten, fifteen,
- 35:39Speaker 3: maybe bigger plays than that, that just doesn't happen. I mean, ceedee,
- 35:43Speaker 3: Lamb's not playing Kansas State anymore, you know. And I
- 35:46Speaker 3: say that because that's the game. I remember him taking
- 35:48Speaker 3: a five yard hitch and just taking it to the house.
- 35:52Speaker 3: And so you're right, these receivers don't have that yak
- 35:57Speaker 3: that kind of helps with the kind of off instead
- 36:00Speaker 3: that looks like that they're playing right now, and it.
- 36:03Speaker 13: Would also help the running game. Right now, they know
- 36:06Speaker 13: you're gonna throw short. Everybody's closer to the line of scrimmage.
- 36:09Speaker 13: It's also hurting the offensive line because he's he's I
- 36:13Speaker 13: was watching him take a three step drop and Nick
- 36:15Speaker 13: bos is like, dude, I can almost grab you right now,
- 36:18Speaker 13: and it's like, get him back. If you get him
- 36:20Speaker 13: in a five or seven, at least that can now
- 36:22Speaker 13: see the guy coming and maybe spin out like like
- 36:26Speaker 13: Romo used to do, and Dack does sometimes just spin
- 36:29Speaker 13: up and give him something. But I just think they're
- 36:32Speaker 13: just too tight unless you've got an eighty five Bears
- 36:35Speaker 13: defense where you're holding everybody to like six or eight,
- 36:38Speaker 13: which ain't happening anymore. I don't think this works.
- 36:41Speaker 14: Mix it up.
- 36:42Speaker 13: Use Brandon Cooks. Like you said, he's invisible, because I'm
- 36:46Speaker 13: not saying he could just run deep but over the middle.
- 36:49Speaker 13: They took that pass totally out of the game. They
- 36:52Speaker 13: don't throw deep in cuts at all. And you know
- 36:55Speaker 13: what Dallup's gonna do. He's gonna run just down the
- 36:57Speaker 13: sideline on a quick slant. That's all he does. And
- 37:00Speaker 13: I just think they need Mike mccauthy needs a turnaround.
- 37:04Speaker 14: So you know what, I blew it up.
- 37:05Speaker 6: Too much.
- 37:05Speaker 13: Bring it, bring some of that back, keep some of this.
- 37:08Speaker 13: And I think this offense could be better because all
- 37:10Speaker 13: we need is this offense to score a consistent twenty
- 37:14Speaker 13: three points. If they could score twenty three points, so
- 37:16Speaker 13: I don't need the average thirty, you'd be great. Twenty
- 37:19Speaker 13: three points. I think we win most of these games.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. All right, Rob, thanks for the thanks
- 37:25Speaker 3: for the call. You know, I said this yesterday. I
- 37:29Speaker 3: love I love this call. It's one of my favorite.
- 37:31Speaker 3: This is my favorite call of the day because I've
- 37:35Speaker 3: we've heard from from Rob from Vegas and he's he's
- 37:38Speaker 3: you know, he's very been you know, he's been one
- 37:40Speaker 3: of those guys that's been very opinionated about dak in
- 37:42Speaker 3: the offense and you know, and rightfully so. And that's fine.
- 37:45Speaker 3: That's what the show's all about. That's what that's what
- 37:47Speaker 3: what happens here. But it's what I said yesterday, kind
- 37:50Speaker 3: of it's Thursday, kind of kind of getting that that
- 37:53Speaker 3: turn again, you know, Monday, Tuesday was like, that's not
- 37:55Speaker 3: going to happen now, you know, get to Thursday. It's
- 37:58Speaker 3: what I said yesterday. It's like, okay, well let's see
- 38:01Speaker 3: how it goes, then by Friday get optimistic again, you know,
- 38:04Speaker 3: and then Sunday or Monday in this case, you're just
- 38:07Speaker 3: like let's go, Like, let's go. And that's what that's
- 38:10Speaker 3: what being a fan's all about. So I love it.
- 38:13Speaker 3: I can actually hear it where you're like, all right,
- 38:15Speaker 3: it's not as bad as it needs to be. Just
- 38:17Speaker 3: what we need to do, tweaks and stuff like that.
- 38:19Speaker 3: Like that is the definition of a fan right there.
- 38:22Speaker 3: I love it. Paul. I mean, Rob keep calling all
- 38:25Speaker 3: the time. I say Paul, because I got a text
- 38:27Speaker 3: from Paul and Vancouver. He goes, there's a concern that
- 38:29Speaker 3: the offense doesn't have something that they can lean on.
- 38:33Speaker 3: I think that should be Tony Paouler running behind Jack Steele,
- 38:36Speaker 3: scoon maker, you know that whole like what's your identity
- 38:40Speaker 3: of the team and all that stuff.
- 38:41Speaker 8: You know.
- 38:41Speaker 3: I don't know if I love that question, but from
- 38:44Speaker 3: a standpoint of what do you do? You know, like
- 38:46Speaker 3: what would you say you do here? And that's what
- 38:50Speaker 3: they need to figure out, like like can we run
- 38:54Speaker 3: the ball?
- 38:55Speaker 6: We can?
- 38:55Speaker 3: We get it on third and one, third and two,
- 38:57Speaker 3: and that's something that to be honest, they missed that
- 39:01Speaker 3: because with Zeke. They they had that where they felt
- 39:05Speaker 3: like they could get a yard or two, and that
- 39:07Speaker 3: was I think the toughest part of the game. The
- 39:09Speaker 3: other night was that fourth and two right before halftime.
- 39:12Speaker 3: You're down fourteen points and they don't go for it,
- 39:15Speaker 3: and it's like, yeah, you're probably handing them to three
- 39:18Speaker 3: or seven if you don't get it. But you're down fourteen.
- 39:22Speaker 3: You were already like you're you're down here, You've got
- 39:25Speaker 3: to play catch up. When are you gonna catch up?
- 39:27Speaker 8: You know?
- 39:28Speaker 3: And so I thought that was just a sign up
- 39:30Speaker 3: that we can't get these two yards. That right there
- 39:33Speaker 3: was where I thought the game, you know, it was
- 39:35Speaker 3: already you're already losing it, And I thought that one
- 39:38Speaker 3: kind of changed the whole thing there. All right, let's
- 39:41Speaker 3: go to another question here. This is from CW in Hollywood.
- 39:46Speaker 3: So San Francisco lines up on defense like we do
- 39:49Speaker 3: with two linebackers. Why don't our linebackers look like Warner
- 39:52Speaker 3: and Greenlaw on the field because they're because they're not
- 39:56Speaker 3: Warner and green Law. I mean, like Warner. Warner is
- 39:59Speaker 3: an outstanding football player. He might be one of the
- 40:03Speaker 3: most underrated players in the league, or he just absolutely
- 40:07Speaker 3: just destroys Dallas. I don't know, but I mean, does
- 40:09Speaker 3: he play like that another games? I can't say. I
- 40:13Speaker 3: watched him them all the time, but he's just amazing.
- 40:16Speaker 3: He like I said the other day, he's got some
- 40:18Speaker 3: Palla malu in him in that he's where he needs
- 40:22Speaker 3: to be, you know, up the line of scrimmager back now,
- 40:25Speaker 3: there were a couple of plays in the game where
- 40:27Speaker 3: you know it's like, Okay, he is human. He's not
- 40:29Speaker 3: gonna go chase Brandon Cooks. And if Dak doesn't throw
- 40:31Speaker 3: the ball out of bounds, that's probably a touchdown because
- 40:33Speaker 3: he ran right by and they got him in a
- 40:35Speaker 3: perfect mismatch. That was one of the if that fourth
- 40:37Speaker 3: and two wasn't the biggest play of the game, it
- 40:39Speaker 3: was there when Dak missed Cooks going deep. You gotta
- 40:42Speaker 3: give him a chance. You can't throw it out of
- 40:44Speaker 3: bounds fifty three yards to work with, and in this
- 40:47Speaker 3: case it's about twenty five one way or another, and
- 40:51Speaker 3: cook Cooks can go get it because he's so wide open.
- 40:54Speaker 3: I can't throw it to the cheerleaders. You just can't
- 40:56Speaker 3: do that because that doesn't help anybody. So but I
- 41:01Speaker 3: vander esh and dmont Clark are not green Law and Wonner.
- 41:06Speaker 3: That's why they don't look like that because they're not
- 41:07Speaker 3: They're not as good as players that as athletic as
- 41:10Speaker 3: those guys are, those guys are flying around the ball
- 41:12Speaker 3: and making a lot of plays. Not many teams if
- 41:16Speaker 3: anybody has got two linebackers like that? All right, Russ
- 41:20Speaker 3: from North Carolina? Why is Mazzie Smith never mentioned he's
- 41:23Speaker 3: Is he not playing many snaps? If not? Is he
- 41:26Speaker 3: not ready? He obviously isn't ready. He obviously is not ready.
- 41:30Speaker 3: There was a there was a moment in the game
- 41:32Speaker 3: they were down on the one yard line, third and
- 41:35Speaker 3: one from the one. He wasn't in the game, and
- 41:40Speaker 3: I didn't understand that, and that that's I mean, if anything,
- 41:43Speaker 3: he could be out there for that. Strength is strength.
- 41:46Speaker 3: If he's got the strength, he should be able to
- 41:48Speaker 3: be there for that. He has been another place. So
- 41:50Speaker 3: I'm not really sure why he's not playing. I would
- 41:53Speaker 3: he's healthy, So the court the answer has to be
- 41:56Speaker 3: that he's just not ready. They don't feel like he's
- 41:58Speaker 3: ready to to con tribute on that level. And that's
- 42:02Speaker 3: that's disappointing. I mean, it has to be what other way.
- 42:04Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not not giving up on a guy.
- 42:05Speaker 3: It's early, it's literally in his career, but it's just
- 42:08Speaker 3: surprising and disappointing at your first round pick, because that
- 42:11Speaker 3: is usually the reason why you draft a guy in
- 42:13Speaker 3: the first round. That is why you you go first
- 42:16Speaker 3: round on anybody. Is is when you're when you're weighing
- 42:19Speaker 3: this guy versus this guy. It's it's always about Okay,
- 42:22Speaker 3: what can they do, you know, down the road, but
- 42:25Speaker 3: also right now, like what how can they?
- 42:29Speaker 8: You know?
- 42:29Speaker 3: The readiness to play is usually a factor there. So
- 42:31Speaker 3: that's a little surprising to me that he hasn't he
- 42:35Speaker 3: hasn't been able to contribute a little bit more. All Right,
- 42:38Speaker 3: we'll go to the phones. Al from Washington, d C. Al,
- 42:41Speaker 3: what's up, hey, Nick, Hey man, can you hear me?
- 42:45Speaker 3: I can. How are you doing?
- 42:46Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 42:48Speaker 14: Very good. Been a Cowboy fan for fifty seven years
- 42:52Speaker 14: and watched a lot of Cowboys. I think that was
- 42:56Speaker 14: the first game in fifty seven years. At the eight
- 42:59Speaker 14: minut at Mark, I had to I just turned it off.
- 43:02Speaker 14: I couldn't watch it anymore. I was even there when
- 43:06Speaker 14: we were one in fifteen. So I want to ask
- 43:09Speaker 14: you a question, and I really think that we need
- 43:11Speaker 14: to consider this on defense. Offense will come along, we'll
- 43:16Speaker 14: get that. But on the defense, why aren't we running
- 43:22Speaker 14: what I guess you could call either a five two
- 43:26Speaker 14: or a three four meaning tankins over the center, two tackles,
- 43:32Speaker 14: which we have, and then you know, we've got plenty
- 43:36Speaker 14: of dns that can get you know, play the run
- 43:39Speaker 14: and play the pass and put eleven and thirty three,
- 43:43Speaker 14: eleven to the strong side, thirty three to the weak side,
- 43:48Speaker 14: and I don't see how they can run on us
- 43:50Speaker 14: that way. But for some reason we want to stay
- 43:52Speaker 14: in this four two or four three or whatever you
- 43:57Speaker 14: want to call it. We need three down linemen in
- 44:00Speaker 14: the middle to stop the run. We need to force
- 44:03Speaker 14: them to throw the ball. And that's all all I
- 44:06Speaker 14: wanted to inject and see what your thoughts were.
- 44:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, uh, thanks for the call. I mean
- 44:11Speaker 3: I think that you you know, it's it's not as
- 44:15Speaker 3: easy to just make these adjustments in the middle of
- 44:18Speaker 3: the season, after you you know, go through all training
- 44:20Speaker 3: camp and all that kind of stuff, and especially it's
- 44:23Speaker 3: it's surprising when you think about it, of just like
- 44:25Speaker 3: where we are, of and I'm not not everyone's saying this.
- 44:29Speaker 3: You're saying this, but it's probably surprising for you that that,
- 44:33Speaker 3: you know, two or three weeks ago is what's the
- 44:36Speaker 3: nickname of this defense? You know, we're all asking like, well,
- 44:39Speaker 3: how great this defense can be? An now it's it's like,
- 44:42Speaker 3: you know, should they change it? Are they? Are they
- 44:45Speaker 3: not lined up correctly? You know you say that about
- 44:49Speaker 3: make teams throw the ball, but that's scary too. And
- 44:53Speaker 3: and and I saw a stat the other day the
- 44:55Speaker 3: Cowboys have beaten three teams. I think they're where they
- 44:59Speaker 3: rank and score. It's like thirty, second, thirty and twenty seven.
- 45:04Speaker 3: And they are going to face one, two, three, four, five,
- 45:07Speaker 3: six and seven this year and one of them is Sandy.
- 45:10Speaker 3: I'm sorry, San dang it. I knew I was gonna
- 45:13Speaker 3: do that one time this week LA Chargers. Maybe they
- 45:16Speaker 3: should move back, But I just think that, you know,
- 45:19Speaker 3: they're one of those teams too, so they're gonna have
- 45:21Speaker 3: to face the teams that are putting up a lot
- 45:23Speaker 3: of points too, So just saying make them throw it's
- 45:25Speaker 3: kind of scary as well, when you're looking at the
- 45:27Speaker 3: injuries that they've had at the secondary and some of
- 45:29Speaker 3: the receivers that they're going to face. You know, Dan
- 45:33Speaker 3: Quinn is a great defensive coach, he really is. I
- 45:36Speaker 3: think that they'll they'll figure this thing out. I don't
- 45:38Speaker 3: think it's they needed to switch out the schemes. This
- 45:41Speaker 3: is what they've practiced. This is what they've done and
- 45:43Speaker 3: it has been successful. This is what they're gonna have
- 45:45Speaker 3: to lean on. They could tighten the screws a little bit,
- 45:47Speaker 3: but I think they can do that.
- 45:48Speaker 6: All right.
- 45:48Speaker 3: Last call, we go to Steve and New York. Steve,
- 45:51Speaker 3: what's up?
- 45:52Speaker 6: What's up next?
- 45:53Speaker 3: How you doing?
- 45:54Speaker 6: That's all right?
- 45:54Speaker 15: I called to Jack Murphy the other day. I was
- 45:57Speaker 15: talking to somebody.
- 45:59Speaker 3: The game was where I just wanted a little bit different.
- 46:02Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's night day, Yeah, a little bit.
- 46:08Speaker 15: I just wanted to puss real quick on something you
- 46:10Speaker 15: had said, I think a year ago or so. It
- 46:12Speaker 15: was on when you guys had to show together. You
- 46:15Speaker 15: made a statement, and I'm paraphrasing, but you said that
- 46:18Speaker 15: if Dak Prescott has to be a drop back pocket passer,
- 46:22Speaker 15: the Cowboys are going to.
- 46:23Speaker 6: Have a problem.
- 46:24Speaker 15: When you originally said that, I was like, wow, that's
- 46:26Speaker 15: kind of a strong statement. But Obviously you're implying that
- 46:30Speaker 15: he has to run use his legs more, and I
- 46:33Speaker 15: understand it now. So that's why I want to ask you,
- 46:35Speaker 15: is it just me or does he look slower out there?
- 46:40Speaker 15: And I don't know. He used to be able to
- 46:43Speaker 15: get away from defenders he can't. And do you think
- 46:46Speaker 15: he's hesitant to run because of the injury? I kind
- 46:49Speaker 15: of think yes to both of those. I just wanted
- 46:51Speaker 15: your take on Yeah.
- 46:52Speaker 3: I mean, I think, yeah, thanks for bringing that up.
- 46:55Speaker 3: But from a year ago, thank you for saying no.
- 46:57Speaker 3: I mean, I I believe that that's not what scouts
- 47:01Speaker 3: know what's going on. Okay, NFL scouts know the deal.
- 47:05Speaker 3: He's not drafted in the He wasn't drafted till the
- 47:07Speaker 3: fourth round, and that's because of you know, they they
- 47:11Speaker 3: know what he can do as a passer and all
- 47:14Speaker 3: that stuff. Now he's been way better than people thought
- 47:16Speaker 3: they would redraft him. He would have been in the
- 47:18Speaker 3: first round, of course. But but the thing is is
- 47:20Speaker 3: that is that he was always a football player type,
- 47:24Speaker 3: running on the move and making throws and all that
- 47:26Speaker 3: just kind of is a gamer where the lights came on.
- 47:29Speaker 3: I do think the injury has made him a little
- 47:32Speaker 3: bit more hesitant, and you can't be that way when
- 47:35Speaker 3: you're running, you know, when you need to run. I mean,
- 47:36Speaker 3: it's just the boom, gotta go see it, hit it,
- 47:39Speaker 3: do it. And I don't think that that is there
- 47:42Speaker 3: as much so that that's probably one of the reasons
- 47:45Speaker 3: why it looks a little slower. And he might just
- 47:47Speaker 3: be slower. I mean eight years in the league, a
- 47:49Speaker 3: lot of hits, a lot of sacks, some surgeries. I mean,
- 47:52Speaker 3: like you know, I mean, that could be the guy.
- 47:54Speaker 3: I still think he can run though, I still think
- 47:56Speaker 3: he can move. He can be that type of quarterback.
- 47:58Speaker 3: He's going to have to be because you know, you
- 48:00Speaker 3: got to play to your strings. So just standing there
- 48:03Speaker 3: in the pocket and making throws, making the reads and
- 48:05Speaker 3: all that stuff, that's not what he is. It's never
- 48:07Speaker 3: been what he is. What he is is a guy
- 48:09Speaker 3: that needs to play with what they give them, what
- 48:13Speaker 3: they give them, what they take, and so he's gonna
- 48:15Speaker 3: they have to figure that out. But he's also going
- 48:17Speaker 3: to have to scheme open his his top players. They've
- 48:21Speaker 3: got to figure that out, and how to get the
- 48:23Speaker 3: ball to ceedee lamb all the time. He's if he's
- 48:26Speaker 3: complaining that he wants the football. Give him the football,
- 48:29Speaker 3: Give him the ball, because good things can happen. So
- 48:32Speaker 3: that's what they have to do. They have to figure
- 48:34Speaker 3: that outsier said than done, but but that's that's what
- 48:37Speaker 3: has to happen. They got an extra day of practice
- 48:39Speaker 3: this week. They should be able to figure that out,
- 48:41Speaker 3: you know, this week and try to you know, you know,
- 48:43Speaker 3: get the offense clicking again. And then of course they
- 48:46Speaker 3: got the bye week as well. And then maybe from
- 48:48Speaker 3: the call before from Al who's talking about defensive alignment schemes,
- 48:52Speaker 3: maybe you can implement more of those kind of new
- 48:55Speaker 3: looks and new wrinkles in a bye week. But they
- 48:57Speaker 3: they certainly have things work to do on offense, defense,
- 49:00Speaker 3: and even special teams. Now with CJ. Goodwin gonna be
- 49:03Speaker 3: out for maybe most of the season with a biceps injury,
- 49:07Speaker 3: you know, they they're losing a really good player there.
- 49:09Speaker 3: So you know, no one's feeling sorry for this team
- 49:12Speaker 3: that they gotta they gotta turn it around. But they
- 49:14Speaker 3: have plenty of time to do that, and I think,
- 49:17Speaker 3: you know, I think they're certainly capable of it. All right,
- 49:21Speaker 3: great show today, I got ten calls, you guys, were
- 49:23Speaker 3: really good. We'll do it again tomorrow. So for Chris Beam,
- 49:27Speaker 3: I'm Nick Eatman. We'll see tomorrow on Cowboys storyline.
- 49:29Speaker 2: This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and
- 49:32Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys football club
