- 0:22Speaker 4: Good morning everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I am Nick Eatman.
- 0:26Speaker 4: It is Wednesday, October the thirtieth Man October flying by,
- 0:31Speaker 4: and let's see what the Cowboys can do as November
- 0:35Speaker 4: rules around. November has usually been a good month for
- 0:38Speaker 4: this team.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I know, I know.
- 0:39Speaker 4: When Tony Romo was the quarterback, he had like the
- 0:41Speaker 4: best month of November ever. I think Dak's been pretty good.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Then maybe the Cowboys can can flip the script. October
- 0:48Speaker 4: was as scary as you would see any haunted house.
- 0:52Speaker 4: I would, I would imagine, especially in certain stretches certain
- 0:56Speaker 4: games Detroit, the third quarter was pretty bad in San
- 0:59Speaker 4: franc Cisco to end as poorly as it was looking,
- 1:02Speaker 4: but still and they ended with a loss. So that
- 1:04Speaker 4: not not good enough there. Uh see, if the Cowboys
- 1:07Speaker 4: can change things up when they go to Atlanta. That
- 1:10Speaker 4: will be in November. Remember third I guess is when
- 1:14Speaker 4: that that game will be?
- 1:16Speaker 1: All right?
- 1:16Speaker 4: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine sevens
- 1:19Speaker 4: the number to call. We've already got some callers on
- 1:21Speaker 4: the line, so we're going to just go to it
- 1:22Speaker 4: right now. We've got Brian in Kansas City to start
- 1:25Speaker 4: us off.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Brian, what's up, Good morning, sir, morning. How are you.

- 1:36Speaker 6: you too.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Sure.
- 1:37Speaker 6: Hey, So I got a question and then instead of
- 1:40Speaker 6: an old player, I got a trivia for you today.
- 1:43Speaker 5: Okay, So my question is I'm wondering if there's if
- 1:48Speaker 5: there's a story to Kalin Carson being a participant in
- 1:52Speaker 5: practice last week and then it looked to me like
- 1:56Speaker 5: a healthy scratch. I just I was a little dumbfounded
- 2:00Speaker 5: by that one. And I'll let you answer it off
- 2:02Speaker 5: the air, but I'll my trivia question. I'll stay on
- 2:07Speaker 5: just long enough to see that you get it.
- 2:08Speaker 6: Because you're the history guy, you may know this. I
- 2:11Speaker 6: had to look it up. I had no idea in
- 2:14Speaker 6: nineteen sixty, our inaugural year, who was the leading So
- 2:21Speaker 6: I'm sure you know who the starting quarterback is, right, Yeah, absolutely,
- 2:27Speaker 6: that's the only one I knew. All these questions is
- 2:29Speaker 6: that's the only one I knew, But who's the leading receiver.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I don't know, Frank Clark, I don't know. On the team.
- 2:41Speaker 6: You're there, though, you're on the right team. It's Jim Durant.
- 2:44Speaker 6: And he was the only and this is according to
- 2:47Speaker 6: Pro Football Reference, the only Pro bowler on the team.
- 2:52Speaker 1: They didn't win a game.
- 2:53Speaker 4: I know that they tied the Steelers, I believe, but
- 2:57Speaker 4: they did not win a game.
- 2:58Speaker 5: Yes, sir, sir, all right, all right, that's it for me.
- 3:02Speaker 5: Sor right, I'll talk to you soon.
- 3:03Speaker 1: All right, all right, well that's yeah.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Anytime you started a trivia question off there, like, I
- 3:09Speaker 4: feel like I can take it back pretty far. Uh,
- 3:12Speaker 4: you know, to the decade I was born. But you
- 3:16Speaker 4: get you get into the sixties. Man, I don't have
- 3:19Speaker 4: that one for you. All right, Let's go to Irene
- 3:22Speaker 4: Falls Church, Virginia, Irene.
- 3:26Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, good morning. Tough week, tough week living
- 3:30Speaker 7: in this area. Man. I called that Hail Mary too.
- 3:33Speaker 7: I did, and I to see I actually cancel a plan.
- 3:36Speaker 7: I was like, I'm not going to watch the Cowboys
- 3:38Speaker 7: lose in this area out in public. It's not happening.
- 3:42Speaker 7: So man, cowboys are affecting us. But hey, it's Falcon's week.
- 3:46Speaker 7: But I did have to make a couple of comments
- 3:48Speaker 7: on the game. A lot of people talked. A couple
- 3:50Speaker 7: of people talked about, you know, the play calling at
- 3:52Speaker 7: the end, acting like you had like forty eight seconds
- 3:55Speaker 7: left in no timeouts and that you had to have
- 3:57Speaker 7: twenty five yards you know, chunk plays the whole time.
- 4:01Speaker 7: The other thing I was thinking of was with like
- 4:03Speaker 7: the does Bryant catch in twenty fourteen kind of st
- 4:06Speaker 7: same thing even if we did, let's say this plays
- 4:09Speaker 7: worked and we scored, oh, or we do is give
- 4:12Speaker 7: San Francisco the ball back and plenty of time with
- 4:15Speaker 7: that approach. So I didn't I didn't understand at all,
- 4:19Speaker 7: But if we were going to do these sorts of plays,
- 4:22Speaker 7: I would have liked to see it. How I know,
- 4:25Speaker 7: we were also talking about Kittle a dono, but I
- 4:28Speaker 7: also noticed Malie Hooker's covering Debo Kendricks covering Debo at
- 4:33Speaker 7: least two times of that. And I assume that I
- 4:36Speaker 7: didn't watch this tape, and I guess you'll never really
- 4:39Speaker 7: fully know, but it seems like that was just they
- 4:42Speaker 7: were scheming him open. And I think that's just what
- 4:46Speaker 7: is really lacking in our office because our defense, I mean,
- 4:51Speaker 7: you know, they're missing so many people, and they really
- 4:53Speaker 7: did hold their own for a while until they didn't
- 4:56Speaker 7: because they couldn't get anything out of her office. Anything.
- 5:00Speaker 7: Think one more touchdown sometime before the third in the
- 5:04Speaker 7: middle of the third quarter, we could have done it,
- 5:06Speaker 7: and we still could have won, which is why this
- 5:09Speaker 7: has been so frustrating. Just like Baltim Marley, you know,
- 5:12Speaker 7: Jason Garrett has a finished strong and I feel like
- 5:16Speaker 7: we need to show up to the beginning of the
- 5:18Speaker 7: game shirt instead. So anyway, those are my comments for Atlanta.
- 5:25Speaker 7: This was a win in my book early in the season,
- 5:28Speaker 7: and now I know that on one of my fantasy leagues,
- 5:31Speaker 7: I started Kirk Cousins over Dak Prescott and he scored.
- 5:34Speaker 7: I don't know what he scored, but he had four
- 5:36Speaker 7: touchdowns last week. So it's not going to be pretty.
- 5:41Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 5:41Speaker 7: I mean, we can hold our own, I hope with them,
- 5:44Speaker 7: but I just don't know how to engage this team
- 5:46Speaker 7: until our offense gets rolling. I think the defense is
- 5:49Speaker 7: doing fun enough to be honest, all.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Right, thank you, thank you. Thanks are a lot of
- 5:55Speaker 1: stuff there.
- 5:57Speaker 4: You know, you're right about the scheming, scheming those guys
- 6:01Speaker 4: open and finding you know, mismatches for Debo against the linebacker.
- 6:07Speaker 4: I mean, I haven't seen you know, CD against anybody,
- 6:11Speaker 4: you know, other than.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Like two corners or whatever.
- 6:13Speaker 4: But then again, I will say this, that is what
- 6:17Speaker 4: makes the forty nine ers so good is because they've
- 6:20Speaker 4: got those type of players.
- 6:23Speaker 6: You know.
- 6:23Speaker 4: I think Christian McCaffrey, you know, his game went to
- 6:26Speaker 4: another level when he played when he got to San Francisco.
- 6:30Speaker 4: And you know, you have a running back who can
- 6:32Speaker 4: play receiver. You have a receiver, and Debo who can
- 6:35Speaker 4: be a running back. You've got whatever Kyle Eustrek is,
- 6:38Speaker 4: he can be full back, tight end. So the versatility
- 6:42Speaker 4: that they have, it just creates so many mismatches. That's
- 6:44Speaker 4: one of the reasons why I think San Francisco has
- 6:46Speaker 4: been so good. And I think those are the type
- 6:48Speaker 4: of players that you know, the Cowboys could use. I mean,
- 6:52Speaker 4: that's what you kind of wanted Lipke to be, you know,
- 6:54Speaker 4: for like a U Strek type, but they don't have
- 6:56Speaker 4: some of those other guys to create those mismatches. You
- 6:59Speaker 4: talk about that last drive, why were they throwing it
- 7:02Speaker 4: deep and all that I mean two of the plays
- 7:05Speaker 4: were a deep. One of them was a pass to
- 7:08Speaker 4: to a turpend, which was a nice throw. It was
- 7:10Speaker 4: right where it needed to be. I don't know if turping,
- 7:12Speaker 4: you know, and that's not a play he comes down
- 7:14Speaker 4: with a lot and then another one's deep ball to Brooks.
- 7:17Speaker 4: But two others were like thrown short of the sticks.
- 7:20Speaker 4: One of them was almost picked and another one was
- 7:23Speaker 4: just nobody was open. So uh, I don't think it
- 7:26Speaker 4: was a desperate drive like they were trying to to,
- 7:30Speaker 4: you know, hurry up and score. I think they were
- 7:32Speaker 4: trying to do whatever they could to move it. They
- 7:34Speaker 4: to two passes short, two passes deep. Nothing was open,
- 7:38Speaker 4: nothing was was there. And you know, that's this one
- 7:40Speaker 4: of those where where you'd like to see Dak run
- 7:43Speaker 4: it for a few yards on second down, but you
- 7:47Speaker 4: know that if he's not going to do that or
- 7:49Speaker 4: can't do that, then the offense is definitely going to
- 7:52Speaker 4: be limited.
- 7:53Speaker 6: Uh.
- 7:53Speaker 4: And that's something that that has to be addressed. Whether
- 7:56Speaker 4: he's got you know, this ankle issue that that we
- 8:00Speaker 4: saw him in a boot before. If that's still a
- 8:02Speaker 4: problem for him, then it's got to be addressed or
- 8:06Speaker 4: this offseason whether whether whether he needs surgery or whatever
- 8:09Speaker 4: whatever it needs. Uh, you know, but he's got You
- 8:13Speaker 4: gotta have a quarterback, especially one that you're paying like that,
- 8:16Speaker 4: has got to be able to to at least pick
- 8:18Speaker 4: up some first downs with his legs at times. And
- 8:21Speaker 4: right now we're just not seeing him wanting to do that.
- 8:24Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Gary in New Mexico.
- 8:28Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, at least we didn't give up forty last week.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Oh true, think about the think about.
- 8:34Speaker 9: I got a trivia question for you.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Okay, all right, this is a good one.
- 8:38Speaker 9: And I'm going to try if I'm able to call
- 8:39Speaker 9: every week and get through, I'm going to try to
- 8:41Speaker 9: have a trivia question that relates to that week's opponent.
- 8:44Speaker 4: We might have a game for you, Gary, we might.
- 8:47Speaker 4: We might have something for you. We're working on some
- 8:50Speaker 4: things where we're looking at trivia questions.
- 8:52Speaker 1: We might have something. We may we may even call you. Well,
- 8:54Speaker 1: we'll fit. We're we're ironing out some things here. But
- 8:56Speaker 1: that's fine.
- 8:57Speaker 9: Now you're fine. Now, don't don't make any special receptions
- 9:00Speaker 9: for me. But here's this week's trivit question. And I
- 9:02Speaker 9: actually knew this one, but this is kind of an
- 9:04Speaker 9: interesting thing.
- 9:06Speaker 10: Can you tell me?
- 9:07Speaker 9: Tell me the former Cowboy Pro Bowl quarterback that later
- 9:11Speaker 9: became the general manager and executive vice president for the
- 9:15Speaker 9: Atlanta Falcons.
- 9:16Speaker 1: He was a former quarterback Pro Bowl quarterback.
- 9:21Speaker 9: Oh Man later became the general manager and executive vice
- 9:25Speaker 9: president of the Atlanta Falcons. Earlier in the show.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Craig Morton, No, I don't know, Eddie, it was Eddie LeBaron.
- 9:41Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 9:41Speaker 9: Well, and this is interesting because your first caller talked
- 9:44Speaker 9: about Eddie le Baron. So Eddie le Baron. This is
- 9:47Speaker 9: a cool story because I was born and raised in Middland, Texas,
- 9:49Speaker 9: and this Eddie was way before my time. But Eddie
- 9:52Speaker 9: le Baron was retired from the Washington Redskins when the
- 9:55Speaker 9: Cowboys got their franchise, and the Cowboys reached out to
- 9:59Speaker 9: him and talked him out of retirement to be because
- 10:02Speaker 9: they wanted a veteran quarterback when they started their team.
- 10:04Speaker 9: So Eddie le Barron was actually the starter of the
- 10:06Speaker 9: first three years, and then Don Meredith took over, I
- 10:09Speaker 9: think in nineteen sixty three. But Eddie le Barron actually
- 10:12Speaker 9: was good enough he got selected to the Pro Bowl
- 10:14Speaker 9: in nineteen sixty two, and then later on, he became
- 10:18Speaker 9: the general manager of the Atlanta Falcons and actually built
- 10:21Speaker 9: a pretty good team. Those Falcon teams that Eddie le
- 10:23Speaker 9: Barron managed. They faced the Cowboys twice in the playoffs,
- 10:27Speaker 9: ultimately losing. So that's just a little interesting story about
- 10:31Speaker 9: our first ever starting quarterback.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Interesting. I didn't know that.
- 10:34Speaker 9: Yeah, So back to real time. Though. We could talk
- 10:39Speaker 9: all day about everything that's wrong with this team, but
- 10:43Speaker 9: I want to keep it positive. The one positive about
- 10:47Speaker 9: Sunday ninth they didn't quit. They did not quit, and
- 10:51Speaker 9: there's something to be said for that. And Chris Collins
- 10:54Speaker 9: were put up a stat during that game about the
- 10:56Speaker 9: forty nine ers, and I know the forty nine ers
- 10:58Speaker 9: are good and they're different team, but he talked about,
- 11:01Speaker 9: you know, two of the last three years the forty
- 11:03Speaker 9: nine Ers had been three and four and they ended
- 11:05Speaker 9: up going to the NFL Championship Game. So right now
- 11:08Speaker 9: Dallas looks like a six win team. But things can
- 11:12Speaker 9: change and the season still got a long way to go,
- 11:16Speaker 9: so I mean, let's just take it week by week.
- 11:18Speaker 9: The fact that they didn't quit to me on Sunday night,
- 11:20Speaker 9: because they could have easily just thrown in the towel
- 11:22Speaker 9: when it was twenty seven to ten. That to me
- 11:25Speaker 9: was that was the one positive I took out of
- 11:27Speaker 9: that game. So I like your thoughts on that.
- 11:30Speaker 4: No, I agree with that, and I you know, I
- 11:33Speaker 4: appreciate the calls to say that, and and I don't
- 11:38Speaker 4: worry about you know how many people that are listening
- 11:41Speaker 4: right now that roll their eyes and say, ah.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Who cares?
- 11:45Speaker 4: Who cares? That's what they're paid to do. Yeah, yeah,
- 11:48Speaker 4: they're paid to do that. But but it's it's the fight,
- 11:53Speaker 4: that hype of fight that's got to continue to happen. Now,
- 11:56Speaker 4: what I challenged the team to do, and I think
- 11:59Speaker 4: we all challenge them to do, is make sure that
- 12:03Speaker 4: you're you're not quitting giving up. See, people don't give
- 12:07Speaker 4: up people you know, people don't give up and they're
- 12:11Speaker 4: in the game that much. I don't think it happens
- 12:13Speaker 4: during the game, But I think where where you know
- 12:15Speaker 4: it happens sometimes is when are you are you trying
- 12:18Speaker 4: as hard in the middle of the week that that
- 12:20Speaker 4: kind of stuff when things don't go well. And so
- 12:21Speaker 4: that's that's what we've always said. I think that they'll
- 12:24Speaker 4: continue to fight. I don't see a six win team here.
- 12:27Speaker 4: I really don't. I there's not a lot of six
- 12:31Speaker 4: win teams, you know, really in the NFL. I mean
- 12:34Speaker 4: that it's not designed for you to be that bad.
- 12:38Speaker 4: It's it's not. I mean, it's designed for you to
- 12:40Speaker 4: be better and assuming and I'm assuming that these guys
- 12:45Speaker 4: are coming back. If they are coming back, and you know,
- 12:48Speaker 4: with with the fight that we've seen, yeah, they'll I
- 12:52Speaker 4: think I think it'll be better than that, you know.
- 12:55Speaker 4: But the you know, the the Detroit game is tough
- 13:00Speaker 4: to swallow. But they're kind of doing that to everybody
- 13:04Speaker 4: right now. They might be the best team in football.
- 13:07Speaker 4: I mean, and they they certainly showed it there.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Now. I can't I can't argue, I mean I can't.
- 13:12Speaker 1: I don't have.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Anything for the Saints game. I mean that was a
- 13:14Speaker 4: long time ago, but that that one is just a mystery.
- 13:17Speaker 4: I mean, the why the way the Saints played that
- 13:19Speaker 4: game and the way they played since then, that one's
- 13:22Speaker 4: gonna be tough to figure out. But you know, the
- 13:25Speaker 4: Cowboys are gonna you know, they go to Atlanta this week.
- 13:28Speaker 4: This is a game that they've they've got to win.
- 13:30Speaker 4: I mean, they've got to win this game. I mean
- 13:31Speaker 4: I know Atlanta is good, the record is good, Kirk
- 13:34Speaker 4: Cousins is having a good year by Kirk Cousins standards.
- 13:39Speaker 4: But they've gotta they've got to go win the game.
- 13:41Speaker 4: They've got to act like what they've every time they
- 13:43Speaker 4: play Kirk Cousins, and they got to beat them. All Right,
- 13:46Speaker 4: let's go to Robbie in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
- 13:50Speaker 12: Hey, Nick, you just said everything I was going to
- 13:52Speaker 12: talk about. I swear man, I was coming here with
- 13:55Speaker 12: a good attitude, all excited. I said, I got some
- 13:58Speaker 12: good things to talk about. You know, we didn't give
- 14:00Speaker 12: up to fight. We kept playing. Our defense looked a
- 14:03Speaker 12: little better. Our run game is still atrocious, but we tried.
- 14:06Speaker 12: You know, at least we've got to see Cooks a
- 14:08Speaker 12: little bit. I'd like to see him more. Maybe we will. Yeah,
- 14:12Speaker 12: so I got to come with some of golf the fly.
- 14:14Speaker 12: That's something I've been meaning to ask you for a while.
- 14:16Speaker 12: Besides this show, what is the favorite part your favorite
- 14:19Speaker 12: part of your job? Is it talking with the players?
- 14:22Speaker 12: Is it watching the games? And that's it? I'll listen
- 14:25Speaker 12: off air.
- 14:29Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I
- 14:31Speaker 4: mean the games the games are are are awesome. I mean,
- 14:36Speaker 4: like I have That's why I haven't missed one. And
- 14:39Speaker 4: since this is two thousand season, when you know Trey
- 14:44Speaker 4: Eigman was a quarterback against the Ravens, it's the last
- 14:48Speaker 4: game I've ever missed. So yeah, I love going to
- 14:53Speaker 4: the games. I mean, there's no doubt about it. Think
- 14:55Speaker 4: about to think about it from your y'all standpoint, you know,
- 14:59Speaker 4: just as a fan, and I hear it.
- 15:00Speaker 1: I hear in the calls.
- 15:01Speaker 4: I hear you guys say like, man, I'm getting to
- 15:03Speaker 4: go to the game this week, or I've been to
- 15:05Speaker 4: five games ever, or three games ever, going to my
- 15:08Speaker 4: first game or all that kind of stuff, And I
- 15:11Speaker 4: don't lose sight of that, like that, I've gotten to
- 15:13Speaker 4: go to the games for twenty five straight years now,
- 15:17Speaker 4: and I'm proud of that, especially through twenty twenty. Through
- 15:20Speaker 4: that that COVID season was it was dicey at times.
- 15:23Speaker 4: You know, you you can't be coughing over here, or
- 15:25Speaker 4: you're not gonna get to go, or you can't be
- 15:27Speaker 4: sitting next to somebody who is, or you don't get
- 15:29Speaker 4: to go. I mean, it was it was a challenge.
- 15:31Speaker 4: My point is is that there's nothing like going to
- 15:34Speaker 4: the game. There's nothing like it sitting there when the
- 15:36Speaker 4: crowd's going crazy, whether you're in the press box or whatever,
- 15:39Speaker 4: and you're you're trying to just.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Stay calm and all that.
- 15:42Speaker 4: Just seeing that that's I mean, and so yeah, that
- 15:45Speaker 4: that's kind of an easy answer though.
- 15:47Speaker 1: The games.
- 15:48Speaker 4: Everyone loves the games, but it is pretty and the
- 15:52Speaker 4: whole thing leading up to it, you know, I love
- 15:53Speaker 4: Saturday afternoon being on the you know, in the charter,
- 15:56Speaker 4: just getting to go and all that. So just the
- 15:58Speaker 4: whole process of going to the game is awesome. But
- 16:01Speaker 4: this show, I've said it before, the show is up there.
- 16:04Speaker 4: I really, I really like it. It kind of takes
- 16:06Speaker 4: me back and reconnects myself to the fan base like
- 16:10Speaker 4: I haven't before. All right, let's go to Rob in Vegas.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Hey, Nick, Hey Rob.
- 16:19Speaker 8: You know we're talking about you know, Dak not running.
- 16:22Speaker 4: And wait time out. Do I have to apologize for
- 16:24Speaker 4: calling you a head case yesterday?
- 16:26Speaker 13: Oh?
- 16:27Speaker 8: Absolutely not.
- 16:27Speaker 1: I mean I called myself one two. We all are
- 16:29Speaker 1: That's really my point, is we all?
- 16:30Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 16:31Speaker 13: I said, I mean, that's that's why I call in.
- 16:33Speaker 8: This is why we all call in.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Yeah, You're my guy.
- 16:35Speaker 4: By the way, I hope everyone knows that, like like,
- 16:39Speaker 4: and that's why you're the captain of the show. It's
- 16:41Speaker 4: gonna be hard to take the CEA off your chest
- 16:43Speaker 4: this year because you're the captain. You're the one people
- 16:46Speaker 4: people look to this and even Rob Rob says it too.
- 16:49Speaker 4: You know, Oh if Rob says it, so you're the captain,
- 16:52Speaker 4: go ahead.
- 16:53Speaker 14: Rob.
- 16:54Speaker 8: It's it's not like I try to argue and I
- 16:57Speaker 8: know I put you in bad spots. It's that. Unfortunately,
- 17:02Speaker 8: what's wrong with this team is just most of it
- 17:05Speaker 8: is not on the field. And that's that's what Bob
- 17:08Speaker 8: is fans. I think you could fix the on field stuff.
- 17:12Speaker 8: You could see that that safety is not playing. You
- 17:14Speaker 8: want to replaced on him, and you know you could
- 17:17Speaker 8: do that. The issues are off the field. I talked
- 17:21Speaker 8: about it yesterday obviously with you know, Mike McCarthy is
- 17:27Speaker 8: a dead man walking, and I thought that was a
- 17:28Speaker 8: bad move. And then it's listen, I like Jerry Jones,
- 17:33Speaker 8: you know, I like his attitude, but he's he's now
- 17:37Speaker 8: starting to hurt the team or I mean, he comes
- 17:39Speaker 8: out yesterday and he basically says, well, I really don't
- 17:44Speaker 8: want Dak running, And I'm like, you just dropped two
- 17:52Speaker 8: hundred and thirty one million. Dak is not Tom Brady
- 17:57Speaker 8: or Peyton Manning. Those guys didn't have to run. If
- 18:00Speaker 8: you saw Dak at Mississippi State, if you saw Dak
- 18:03Speaker 8: his rookie year or six, what made Dak a top
- 18:08Speaker 8: tier quarterback was the combination of his legs and his arm.
- 18:12Speaker 8: Just like Lamar Jackson. If you take running away from
- 18:15Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson, he's average, maybe not even as a thrower.
- 18:20Speaker 8: Why you would come out and say that because I
- 18:23Speaker 8: look at sports a little differently. They're all great athletes,
- 18:26Speaker 8: they're all the best at what they do. So I
- 18:29Speaker 8: look at the intangibles. And now you say to yourself,
- 18:34Speaker 8: so wait a minute. You don't want him to run
- 18:37Speaker 8: because you're afraid about him getting hurt. What about me?
- 18:40Speaker 8: All of a sudden, Michael Parsersankl is going to keep
- 18:43Speaker 8: him out the rest of the year ten weeks? It seems,
- 18:46Speaker 8: you know, you send ad message, why is he more
- 18:48Speaker 8: important than me? If he's not doing whatever it takes
- 18:53Speaker 8: to win the game, why should I? And that's that's
- 18:57Speaker 8: the problem I have. You know, we keep peering Dak's
- 19:00Speaker 8: the leader of the team. That's that's that's invisible, that's you,
- 19:05Speaker 8: that's that's you know. You can't put a finger on that.
- 19:08Speaker 8: And I just don't know why Jerry just does it.
- 19:12Speaker 8: Just keep your mouth shut you first of all, why
- 19:15Speaker 8: would you say that? Now? Defense like see, I told
- 19:17Speaker 8: you didn't do it together. And and he's you know,
- 19:19Speaker 8: we always heard Jerry medals and I'm like, nah, he's
- 19:24Speaker 8: not medaling. Come on, really, yes, yes, because you know
- 19:29Speaker 8: that trickles down to the head coach. And now we're
- 19:32Speaker 8: seeing it, we're all talking about it. We're now they're
- 19:35Speaker 8: talking about it on TV. Why doesn't he run anymore?
- 19:40Speaker 8: It's such a huge part of today's game because if
- 19:44Speaker 8: your quarterback is a statue, you really can't win unless
- 19:48Speaker 8: your offensive line is just incredible, pretty much like the Lions,
- 19:53Speaker 8: and that's what makes them so good. So I just
- 19:55Speaker 8: I it's and Dak has to be frustrated. Dek is
- 19:59Speaker 8: probably same. Dude, Why are you putting me because now
- 20:03Speaker 8: I've got to see Dak turn into Labar Jackson comes
- 20:05Speaker 8: some day now thatk has to prove it.
- 20:07Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, well, you're right, and he probably will. He
- 20:13Speaker 4: probably will run more. I have a feeling that he
- 20:15Speaker 4: is going to run more in this game just just
- 20:17Speaker 4: because of that. Sometimes maybe that's what Jerry was trying
- 20:19Speaker 4: to do all along, is uh is, maybe I don't know,
- 20:25Speaker 4: throw people off, you.
- 20:26Speaker 8: Know, maybe maybe you're right, But I also put it
- 20:31Speaker 8: on the coat. You have to, you know, when you
- 20:33Speaker 8: have meetings, you have to point out Dak. Look, you
- 20:36Speaker 8: see this play right here. You should have ran it.
- 20:39Speaker 8: You should have ran it. You should have ran it.
- 20:42Speaker 8: And honestly, if you're going to talk about injuries, I
- 20:44Speaker 8: think the quarterbacks get hurt way more in the pocket
- 20:47Speaker 8: than they do running. You see all the achilles achilles
- 20:51Speaker 8: that you know, these quarterbacks are flowing out in the
- 20:53Speaker 8: pocket and they don't see what's coming in the pocket.
- 20:57Speaker 8: So I don't know, it's I just hope.
- 21:01Speaker 12: Together.
- 21:01Speaker 1: All right, Rob, I appreciate it.
- 21:03Speaker 4: I think I think you're you're right on and and
- 21:05Speaker 4: a lot of this, and I've you know, we've we've
- 21:08Speaker 4: talked about Dak running and you know, I didn't like
- 21:11Speaker 4: hearing that, you know, like like you know, from Jerry
- 21:13Speaker 4: say that, because it's like, oh what am I not seeing?
- 21:16Speaker 1: What do I not know?
- 21:17Speaker 4: You know, what do I don't know about this situation
- 21:19Speaker 4: because I'm you know, when you pay him that kind
- 21:22Speaker 4: of money, you're right, that's what the quarterbacks in today's
- 21:26Speaker 4: today's world, that's what they do. Even you know, and
- 21:28Speaker 4: and and brock perty didn't didn't you know, he's not
- 21:31Speaker 4: running a four to three.
- 21:32Speaker 1: You know, he's not.
- 21:33Speaker 4: He's not like this this great super athlete. But he's
- 21:38Speaker 4: smart with the way he runs.
- 21:39Speaker 1: And it was.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Effective, and so you just kind of want that. You
- 21:43Speaker 4: just want a guy that can do it when it's there,
- 21:45Speaker 4: Go make the play. He made some plays with his legs,
- 21:48Speaker 4: and and I get it, he's younger, and Dak was
- 21:51Speaker 4: doing some of that early on, and but even later
- 21:54Speaker 4: in your career. And you still have to be able
- 21:56Speaker 4: to do that when it's there because if you know,
- 21:59Speaker 4: if not, than teams are going to play it even differently.
- 22:02Speaker 4: Maybe that's what they're doing right now. So all right,
- 22:04Speaker 4: let me take a break here on Cowboys storyline. We've
- 22:06Speaker 4: got a couple more calls. I got a caller on

- 24:31Speaker 4: waiting on the line. Sebastian Savannah, Georgia.
- 24:33Speaker 1: What's up?
- 24:34Speaker 13: What's going on? Mister man?
- 24:36Speaker 2: How are you doing good?
- 24:37Speaker 4: How are you doing You're going to the game. I
- 24:38Speaker 4: don't really even know how far Savannah is from it.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll be there. We actually just got back
- 24:43Speaker 2: from the Vegas Raiders versus Kana City Chiefs game in Vegas.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Because our kind of plays, we went out to Vegas
- 24:49Speaker 2: nice all right, Well, yeah, you know what.
- 24:52Speaker 13: I look at our team.
- 24:53Speaker 2: I look at them and I'm like, you're just talking
- 24:55Speaker 2: about Dak running. Patrick Mahomes is the king of that
- 24:58Speaker 2: running down the sideline, fake and pass and getting just
- 25:01Speaker 2: a few yards and getting out of bounce. I just
- 25:03Speaker 2: want to see that much from Dak. But what was
- 25:06Speaker 2: disappointing and what was what's going on with this team
- 25:09Speaker 2: that's so confusing is you know you're in Las Vegas.
- 25:12Speaker 2: She makes some bets or whatever. So I decided the
- 25:15Speaker 2: Cowboys on an underdog ticket. This underdog ticket is excellent.
- 25:18Speaker 2: It's six college team, three pro teams, all the teams needed,
- 25:22Speaker 2: and it's a nail bier for the Cowboys. So I
- 25:24Speaker 2: don't watch the game. I'm like, I'm gonna go take
- 25:26Speaker 2: a nap because I'm on the East Coast time, so
- 25:27Speaker 2: like I was tired at that time.
- 25:28Speaker 1: I'll take a.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Nap and I get up and I hear what are
- 25:31Speaker 2: your broms doing? And I come out of my room
- 25:33Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, it's cowboys. We're down seventeen, and
- 25:37Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what line's three? I'm like, Oh,
- 25:40Speaker 2: we need to do is go.
- 25:40Speaker 1: To score a couple touch times.
- 25:41Speaker 2: But I'm like, we could. What happened? We were when
- 25:43Speaker 2: I went to bed, we were like zero to three
- 25:46Speaker 2: or something like that, and we were holding them. We
- 25:48Speaker 2: were doing well. So the reason that I put them
- 25:50Speaker 2: on there wasn't for you know, sentimental reasons. I'm very logical.
- 25:53Speaker 2: I said, this team is super injured. We owe them
- 25:56Speaker 2: a butt whooping at least one time. And I was like,
- 25:59Speaker 2: this is time where we're about even. And I staid,
- 26:03Speaker 2: if we're even and you take you put it to
- 26:05Speaker 2: the quarterbacks, our quarterback should be better than rock perty
- 26:09Speaker 2: and he was not. But you know what, Mike McCarthy
- 26:12Speaker 2: and this front office have not helped AK as far
- 26:16Speaker 2: as this year goes. The problem was, like I was
- 26:19Speaker 2: very confused with that entire last five minute sequence. I
- 26:23Speaker 2: was like, what is Mike McCarthy doing. We get in there,
- 26:26Speaker 2: you call a player that I knew was going to
- 26:28Speaker 2: the left. So you see Turp go across all the time,
- 26:31Speaker 2: and they do the steep shot and the one before
- 26:34Speaker 2: the deep shot. I'm like, he's gonna throw it, and
- 26:35Speaker 2: you see the three red jersey. I could see the
- 26:37Speaker 2: three red jerseys. I was like, what the heck is
- 26:39Speaker 2: dag looking at it? But he dropped it, and I
- 26:40Speaker 2: was like, oh oh. I thought we were gonna have
- 26:43Speaker 2: one of those old school Ramo moments where he gets
- 26:44Speaker 2: the pick right at the end of the game and
- 26:45Speaker 2: it's over with. We go for it again, we take
- 26:48Speaker 2: the deep shot, turn dropped it. It was a beautiful pass.
- 26:51Speaker 2: It's okay, Turf. It's not a star player like Ceedee Lambits,
- 26:54Speaker 2: which I would hope him or Ferguson would have been
- 26:56Speaker 2: the ones that he.
- 26:57Speaker 14: Gave that to.
- 26:57Speaker 5: Right, But when we go for it on fourth.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Down at our own like twenty five why, and when
- 27:04Speaker 2: we burn all of our time outs before they even
- 27:06Speaker 2: get to the two minute warning, I've never been so
- 27:09Speaker 2: confused with a sequence at the end of a game.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Then I was at that. So if he could talk
- 27:13Speaker 2: about that, And I had one other question before I go.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Have you ever seen that weird thing that they do
- 27:19Speaker 2: where they kind of lad over the ball around at
- 27:20Speaker 2: the end of the game work?
- 27:23Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I've seen it work, but I mean,
- 27:26Speaker 4: like like like three times ever.
- 27:29Speaker 1: I mean I've seen it work. Yeah.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I was curious because you've seen a lot more
- 27:33Speaker 2: games than I have you. But you guys have a
- 27:34Speaker 2: great dam swear a minute.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Yeah. Thanks.
- 27:37Speaker 4: No, no, it doesn't work very often, but but yes,
- 27:40Speaker 4: every now and again you can go google them.
- 27:42Speaker 1: I mean.
- 27:44Speaker 4: The Jaguars and the Saints.
- 27:46Speaker 1: That happened.
- 27:48Speaker 4: I don't remember what year that was, but it was
- 27:50Speaker 4: a weird game where it was late in the season.
- 27:52Speaker 4: They were down seven, the Saints were down seven. They
- 27:54Speaker 4: did all this crazy stuff and they scored and then
- 27:57Speaker 4: they missed the extra point and lost the game and
- 27:59Speaker 4: their season was over. That was that was pretty sad.
- 28:03Speaker 4: Duke in Miami in college football is one of the
- 28:06Speaker 4: craziest ones. So yeah, I mean, obviously you got the
- 28:10Speaker 4: cal Stanford game is where it kind of started.
- 28:12Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, it happens, it works, but but.
- 28:17Speaker 4: It's got you got to be very, very lucky and
- 28:19Speaker 4: usually usually it's a turnover. It's what usually happens is
- 28:23Speaker 4: it adds. It adds to your turnover list because they'll
- 28:26Speaker 4: throw it away and it's a fumble another team recover
- 28:28Speaker 4: and that's in the game.
- 28:30Speaker 1: All Right.
- 28:32Speaker 4: You kind of lost me a little bit early on
- 28:34Speaker 4: with the bets and all that stuff. One thing I
- 28:35Speaker 4: think I heard. Did I hear that you went to
- 28:37Speaker 4: bed when the game was when the Cowboys were winning.
- 28:40Speaker 4: That's kind of what I thought I heard through all
- 28:42Speaker 4: of that, But I don't know. Anyways, I think your
- 28:44Speaker 4: point is, like, like everything that that needs to run it. Uh,
- 28:49Speaker 4: you know what, what going back to the last caller
- 28:51Speaker 4: too with Rob was was talking about, is you know,
- 28:55Speaker 4: why don't you just tell Dak that you can't run it.
- 28:58Speaker 4: You're not really a runner anymore. That's not what That's
- 29:01Speaker 4: not your game.
- 29:02Speaker 3: Like.
- 29:02Speaker 4: He is kind of a hold your beer, you know,
- 29:05Speaker 4: hold my beer type of guy. Like, all right, you
- 29:08Speaker 4: don't think so, I mean, we'll see, we'll see. I
- 29:10Speaker 4: still think he can and I think he'll have to.
- 29:14Speaker 4: But yeah, it's a little confusing of why he hasn't
- 29:17Speaker 4: done it so far. All right, let's go to Gavin
- 29:19Speaker 4: in Oklahoma City.
- 29:21Speaker 14: Hey, nick An, I hope all is well with you.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, Man, I.
- 29:25Speaker 14: Got two quick questions for you, and I'm gonna throw
- 29:28Speaker 14: my opinions on them questions very quickly, and now I'll
- 29:30Speaker 14: get off and listen. So, first off, if you could
- 29:34Speaker 14: pick a position or I guess I should say position
- 29:37Speaker 14: group of both sides of the ball to play better
- 29:41Speaker 14: in order to turn this thing around. If they did
- 29:43Speaker 14: turn this thing around, what position group do you think
- 29:46Speaker 14: we need to play better? Mom would be the defensive
- 29:49Speaker 14: tackle room, and I guess you could say offensive line group,
- 29:53Speaker 14: but specifically the tackles, because I feel like if the
- 29:57Speaker 14: tackles play better, then that will be better. Obviously that'll
- 30:00Speaker 14: make everybody better on the offense and the run game
- 30:03Speaker 14: as well. And I also think on defense, if your
- 30:07Speaker 14: tackles play better, your ends will start playing better, and
- 30:09Speaker 14: then the safeties will look better, because I think we've
- 30:11Speaker 14: all come to understand maybe our safeties not aren't as
- 30:15Speaker 14: good as we thought they were without that pressure on defense.
- 30:18Speaker 14: And my second quick thing is I wanted to know,
- 30:22Speaker 14: since we're at the halfway point of the season, what
- 30:24Speaker 14: your outlook is for guiding so far. In your opinion,
- 30:28Speaker 14: I went I called Monday, and my first thing I
- 30:31Speaker 14: wanted to talk to you about was the tackles. And
- 30:32Speaker 14: now I was disappointed, but I kind of went back
- 30:35Speaker 14: and watched some film on Guiden, and I feel good
- 30:38Speaker 14: about what he put on tape against San Francisco. Actually
- 30:40Speaker 14: he had problems, don't get me wrong, but I just
- 30:43Speaker 14: think he's got a positive outlook. I still feel good
- 30:45Speaker 14: about Guiding, and I still believe in Giden. That's all
- 30:48Speaker 14: I got for you today.
- 30:49Speaker 1: All right, Thanks, Thanks Kevin. I did too.
- 30:51Speaker 4: I think that, you know, regardless of what what happens
- 30:55Speaker 4: this season, and you know, I'm not saying, you know,
- 30:59Speaker 4: certainly thinking towards the next year, I'm not doing that.
- 31:02Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is is, regardless of what happens,
- 31:06Speaker 4: you're you're gonna look back and go when when the season,
- 31:10Speaker 4: when we get into next year, you're gonna be like, man,
- 31:13Speaker 4: I think Tyler Guiden's ready to really really be a
- 31:15Speaker 4: good player. Uh, he's got to get through this. Let's
- 31:18Speaker 4: not forget. Tyler Smith had some issues to his first year,
- 31:21Speaker 4: especially with penalties. Penalties were a problem for him, and
- 31:26Speaker 4: now he was doing a nice job. He actually moved
- 31:28Speaker 4: from tackle to guard and do all that. He was
- 31:31Speaker 4: doing that his rookie year. That was very impressive. But
- 31:34Speaker 4: he had some issues too. But I think when you
- 31:37Speaker 4: look at man, he played a lot of football his
- 31:39Speaker 4: rookie year. He'll get his body in a better shape.
- 31:44Speaker 4: I think Geyton will next year. You'll kind of get
- 31:46Speaker 4: more of that that left tackle body. All players in
- 31:50Speaker 4: their first to second year take that that leap there.
- 31:53Speaker 4: So I think it was a very good decision for
- 31:56Speaker 4: the Cowboys to say whatever they were thinking about all
- 31:59Speaker 4: of them sly him out to left Tyler out to
- 32:01Speaker 4: left tackle and maybe play bass.
- 32:04Speaker 5: Now.
- 32:04Speaker 1: I like what they're doing with Geyton.
- 32:06Speaker 4: I think it's going to prove to be a good
- 32:08Speaker 4: a good move because he's got to learn how to
- 32:11Speaker 4: play football and that best way to do it is
- 32:12Speaker 4: for him to play football. So I like what they're
- 32:14Speaker 4: doing with him. And to answer your first question, it's
- 32:17Speaker 4: always the old line D line for me, because that
- 32:19Speaker 4: that that changes everything. Your tackles play better up front
- 32:22Speaker 4: on defense, your safeties, your your rushers, like you said,
- 32:26Speaker 4: they'll all be better and the same with the old
- 32:28Speaker 4: line too, So I you know, I would I would
- 32:31Speaker 4: agree with that. You know, your offensive line. Defensive lines
- 32:33Speaker 4: really really struggled, for sure, and this team misses Michaeh.
- 32:37Speaker 4: Parsons and d law And in the worst way. Uh,
- 32:41Speaker 4: you know, I was looking at some stats. You realize
- 32:43Speaker 4: that this team hasn't had an interception since September. I
- 32:47Speaker 4: mean they've gone all of October without a pick. And
- 32:49Speaker 4: it was the one Overwari had kind of on a
- 32:52Speaker 4: deep ball, you know, on that like a hail Mary
- 32:54Speaker 4: type throw. That's really the last interception that they've had.
- 32:57Speaker 4: Another stat for you. Micah Parsons by far leads this
- 33:01Speaker 4: team in quarterback pressures with twenty one. The next closest
- 33:04Speaker 4: is twelfth. Tank Lawrence leads this team in sacks with three.
- 33:08Speaker 4: They haven't played since September against the Giants. Sounds like
- 33:12Speaker 4: a problem, all right. Bob in Rio, Grand Valley.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Born Nick, Hey, Bob.
- 33:20Speaker 11: I want to compliment Rob. I think that he's set
- 33:26Speaker 11: back and analyzed the situation and hit it right exactly
- 33:31Speaker 11: the nail on the head. The game against Atlanta, they
- 33:39Speaker 11: go in or against forty nine ers, Yeah, thank you.
- 33:45Speaker 11: They go in at halftime and they're down and we're up.
- 33:50Speaker 11: If they make adjustments, we don't. The next thing you know,
- 33:53Speaker 11: in the third quarter we're down seventeen points. It's that's coaching,
- 33:59Speaker 11: that's the lack of changing a recognizing the fact that
- 34:05Speaker 11: the other team is going to be doing some things
- 34:07Speaker 11: different than being a head of the curve and preparing
- 34:10Speaker 11: for it. And getting back to what Rob said, you know,
- 34:16Speaker 11: Jerry Jones is the owner of the team, but he's
- 34:20Speaker 11: his team's own worst enemy. He's sabotages so many things
- 34:26Speaker 11: that his coaches are trying to do with his big mouth.
- 34:29Speaker 11: It's absolutely unbelievable. I don't see us being better than
- 34:35Speaker 11: an eight and eight team this year. I really don't.
- 34:37Speaker 11: I wish it was different. I love my Cowboys. I
- 34:41Speaker 11: look forward to to the podcast, to all you guys
- 34:45Speaker 11: and your programs all week long. I look forward to
- 34:48Speaker 11: the games. I'm eighty years old. I kind of served
- 34:53Speaker 11: my life around the Cowboys in the season and in
- 34:56Speaker 11: the offseason. When you guys aren't on, I'm kind of lost.
- 34:59Speaker 11: I don't have anything to do today time. So I
- 35:02Speaker 11: was Jerry, just shut up and let the Cowboys play,
- 35:05Speaker 11: and let the coaches coach, and let the chips fall
- 35:08Speaker 11: where they may thanks to taking a call.
- 35:10Speaker 4: All right, all right, I appreciate the opinion. I don't
- 35:16Speaker 4: think that's going to change.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Now. You can you can argue whether or not.
- 35:21Speaker 4: You know that that really is affecting the team and
- 35:24Speaker 4: all that, but that's that's didn't neither hear they're there.
- 35:30Speaker 4: But but yeah, I mean you're right about the like
- 35:33Speaker 4: the third quarter. I mean, they're they've been outscored sixty
- 35:36Speaker 4: one to nineteen in the third quarter this year.
- 35:40Speaker 1: That's that's what.
- 35:41Speaker 4: That's where they are. I mean, that's that's and in
- 35:45Speaker 4: that is preparation. I mean, it hasn't been I'm trying
- 35:49Speaker 4: to look real quick what it is in the first quarter, Yeah,
- 35:52Speaker 4: down forty seven to twenty six. So you know, in
- 35:57Speaker 4: the first and third quarters when you're starting again, that's
- 36:02Speaker 4: eighty eight the points that they've given up. And my
- 36:04Speaker 4: mess is forty five eighty eight to forty five and
- 36:07Speaker 4: the first and third quarters combined. So I've been I've
- 36:11Speaker 4: had the questions asked about should they stick with the
- 36:14Speaker 4: game plan or you know, but the game plan, that's
- 36:16Speaker 4: the game plan. The game plan is showing you that
- 36:19Speaker 4: it's not working and says start with So I think
- 36:21Speaker 4: that's kind of where the problem is. Is this the preparation.
- 36:24Speaker 4: Teams are starting out better than them. They're starting out
- 36:27Speaker 4: with going and getting points. The Cowboys are not. So
- 36:31Speaker 4: you can argue all day long, like why has McCarthy
- 36:33Speaker 4: continue to take the ball? It's not working in the
- 36:36Speaker 4: third quarter either, So so I'm not I would take
- 36:40Speaker 4: the I would defer every time I would defer. I'm
- 36:43Speaker 4: not ever taking the ball. But what I'm saying is
- 36:47Speaker 4: I don't think it's It wouldn't change that much. Right now,
- 36:50Speaker 4: Let's take let's take a last break real quick. I
- 36:54Speaker 4: know we have another caller, but let's let's take a
- 36:56Speaker 4: last break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back
- 36:58Speaker 4: to answer a couple more calls.

- 38:25Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the phone lines here. We've
- 38:28Speaker 4: got a few more minutes on this show.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Jeremy and DC. Jeremy, Hey, what Nick? How you doing?
- 38:36Speaker 10: I'm going fine, man? How about yourself.
- 38:37Speaker 1: I'm good, good, good, you stand.
- 38:39Speaker 13: Out of trouble?
- 38:40Speaker 1: No are you?
- 38:45Speaker 13: Hey?
- 38:45Speaker 8: Man?
- 38:45Speaker 10: So I got one question.
- 38:47Speaker 4: I got and I got one question for you too.
- 38:51Speaker 4: How many times have you heard the words hail Mary?
- 38:54Speaker 1: This week?
- 38:55Speaker 13: How many times have I heard the word what hail Mary?
- 38:58Speaker 1: Or it's two words? Actually more than you want?
- 39:03Speaker 13: They're still talking about it.
- 39:05Speaker 4: I'm sure he's in DC. I mean, have they got
- 39:08Speaker 4: the parade mapped out? Where the Super Bowl parade's gonna be?
- 39:12Speaker 13: You would have thought it was the Super Bowl? You know.
- 39:16Speaker 4: Derek Eagleton said to me. I thought it was a great,
- 39:19Speaker 4: great point. He said, this, this, what they're doing reminds
- 39:23Speaker 4: us of Cowboys twenty sixteen when Dak was a rookie
- 39:27Speaker 4: and everything they were touching was gold. You know, it's
- 39:30Speaker 4: just working, it's just working for it, and sometimes you
- 39:32Speaker 4: have years like that, and that's why it looks so
- 39:34Speaker 4: far for Washington. So I like dan Quinn. Good for them,
- 39:39Speaker 4: not good for the Cowboys, but good for dan Quinn. Anyways,
- 39:42Speaker 4: go ahead, Jeremy.
- 39:44Speaker 10: So my question first is do you think if the
- 39:49Speaker 10: Cowboys was to get like more defensive tackle hilp that
- 39:55Speaker 10: Osa will be able to play defensive end and he's
- 40:00Speaker 10: not since he's not the type of tackle that can
- 40:04Speaker 10: that can take on double teams. And then my statement
- 40:08Speaker 10: is just something that I saw on the internet every
- 40:13Speaker 10: uh F for a general manager, and I went on
- 40:17Speaker 10: a little rank and telling people like the Cowboys is
- 40:21Speaker 10: one of the most winning winning this franchise in the
- 40:24Speaker 10: Super Bowl era, and that's all because of Jerry Jones
- 40:28Speaker 10: and all these people that keeps.
- 40:30Speaker 8: Down in Jerry Jones.
- 40:32Speaker 10: Here's the reason why y'all Cowboys fans. So what y'all
- 40:35Speaker 10: need to do is y'all need to get y'all act
- 40:39Speaker 10: together and act like Cowboys fans and stop being like
- 40:43Speaker 10: Steven A. Swiss and all those other guys. And that's
- 40:47Speaker 10: all I really got to say. I feel like my
- 40:48Speaker 10: man Anthony from Miami.
- 40:52Speaker 13: Yeah, that's it, Nick.
- 40:54Speaker 10: And on the other hand.
- 40:55Speaker 12: Man, appreciate I have a good day.
- 40:57Speaker 4: Thank you, I mean thanks for callge. I mean, I
- 41:00Speaker 4: you know, it's I hear a lot a lot of criticism,
- 41:05Speaker 4: obviously towards Jerry and as the GM and all that,
- 41:08Speaker 4: and then then you'll often hear you know, they you know,
- 41:11Speaker 4: this team's got a lot of talent, they got too
- 41:13Speaker 4: much talent to be doing this and this and this
- 41:15Speaker 4: and and that's when you're wait a second.
- 41:18Speaker 1: You know the GM, did he bring that talent?
- 41:21Speaker 4: You know, So that's what makes it it's difficult because
- 41:25Speaker 4: they do have some some good players. They've drafted very well.
- 41:28Speaker 4: They they have talented players. They have guys going to
- 41:31Speaker 4: the Pro Bowl. They have a lot of guys, which
- 41:34Speaker 4: you know, I get the Pro Bowls can be political
- 41:37Speaker 4: at times.
- 41:37Speaker 1: But but they they've got good players.
- 41:39Speaker 4: We've seen that. And and this year you know, they're
- 41:42Speaker 4: they're they're a good player. A lot of some of
- 41:45Speaker 4: them left in free agency, so some of their depth
- 41:47Speaker 4: got got hurt there. But you know, it's it's a
- 41:51Speaker 4: tough argument to just say all the time, you know,
- 41:54Speaker 4: the blaming the GM and all that, when you see
- 41:57Speaker 4: the talent, you see the players there, and you know,
- 42:00Speaker 4: talent they got here, but it's not working right now
- 42:03Speaker 4: in the field. The combination of these players that are here,
- 42:06Speaker 4: the ones that are healthy, with the coaching staff, with
- 42:09Speaker 4: the schemes, with the matchups they've had, it's not working.
- 42:11Speaker 4: They're three and four. They're three and four, and I
- 42:13Speaker 4: get that, So I understand there's frustration there and there
- 42:16Speaker 4: should be all right, let's go to Lester in Minnesota's
- 42:19Speaker 4: our last called Lester.
- 42:22Speaker 13: They I kind of got caught the end of the
- 42:25Speaker 13: what the last call was talking out about the talent,
- 42:28Speaker 13: my evaluation of the Pro bowlers and the talent. Sure,
- 42:33Speaker 13: we got a lot of Pro bowlers, and we got
- 42:35Speaker 13: and Jerry has picked a lot of good ones, but
- 42:39Speaker 13: over the years it hasn't produced, not even an NFC championship.
- 42:46Speaker 13: So I would rather have a little less talent and
- 42:50Speaker 13: the NFC championship or a Super Bowl. He picked good players,
- 42:56Speaker 13: there's no doubt about it. But it's not a mountain
- 43:00Speaker 13: to too much of anything except Pro bowlers. And that's good,
- 43:04Speaker 13: I guess. But I think us as fans, we were
- 43:07Speaker 13: rather to see.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Sure a little bit more. We all would, You're right,
- 43:12Speaker 1: we all would.
- 43:13Speaker 4: Yeah, if you would trade five Pro bowlers for five
- 43:15Speaker 4: more wins, that's how do you?
- 43:17Speaker 1: How do you do that? Though? How do you? How
- 43:19Speaker 1: do you trade that?
- 43:20Speaker 15: Well?
- 43:21Speaker 13: Well, you see, if it would take a half the
- 43:25Speaker 13: show for me explain. But what I would say is
- 43:28Speaker 13: that Jerry and the coaches, they all and and and
- 43:34Speaker 13: Will McLay and whoever else is in the rooms or
- 43:36Speaker 13: when when they draft the players, everyone must be on
- 43:40Speaker 13: the same page. And what I mean by that is
- 43:42Speaker 13: that whatever philosophy is going on, well, we're gonna run
- 43:46Speaker 13: the ball, so we should have, you know, five running backs,
- 43:48Speaker 13: so what whatever, whatever it is, it doesn't seem like
- 43:52Speaker 13: they're they're on the same page, but it doesn't seem
- 43:55Speaker 13: like they're fully on the same page, whereas we'll get
- 44:01Speaker 13: you know, I mean, I don't know how it works,
- 44:03Speaker 13: but it doesn't seem that way. I just put it
- 44:05Speaker 13: like that. But the reason why I called in is
- 44:10Speaker 13: because I'm gonna say what I always say. Until we
- 44:13Speaker 13: get a good to great I'm sorry, a good it's
- 44:16Speaker 13: a very good offensive and defensive line at the same time.
- 44:20Speaker 13: Build a team that way. At the same time, we're
- 44:24Speaker 13: gonna be up and down every year. So what I
- 44:29Speaker 13: would do, what I would have done, I'm sorry, and
- 44:33Speaker 13: training camp, this is the offensive line I would have
- 44:36Speaker 13: put together training camp. I know we can't do it now.
- 44:39Speaker 13: I would have put Guidon at right tackle the president
- 44:43Speaker 13: where he is, that's fine, BB and I would have
- 44:47Speaker 13: moved still to left guard, and then I would have
- 44:52Speaker 13: kicked out Tyler Smith. That would have been the line
- 44:55Speaker 13: of training camp, run with it, roll and then you
- 44:58Speaker 13: can switch Guidon to left tackle later like they did
- 45:02Speaker 13: Tyron Smith and his rookie year. You played right tackle
- 45:05Speaker 13: for a while.
- 45:06Speaker 1: Then, ever seen Terrence Steel play guard?
- 45:12Speaker 13: No?
- 45:14Speaker 14: Cap?
- 45:14Speaker 13: Well?
- 45:14Speaker 1: I know, but have you ever seen him play guard?
- 45:15Speaker 1: I mean I have.
- 45:17Speaker 4: He doesn't really play guard, and you just paid him
- 45:19Speaker 4: a lot of money, like twenty five million dollar contract
- 45:21Speaker 4: whatever to play right tackle. So what if he sucks
- 45:24Speaker 4: at guard?
- 45:25Speaker 3: Like?
- 45:25Speaker 1: What if that now you're paying you know what I mean?
- 45:27Speaker 4: I mean, just because you can play tackle doesn't mean
- 45:29Speaker 4: you play guard and vice versa. So that would have
- 45:31Speaker 4: been kind of tricky. They just paid him to play
- 45:33Speaker 4: right tackle. That's kind of why they didn't do that.
- 45:36Speaker 13: Hey, Lester, well again again they're switching.
- 45:44Speaker 1: They are, and I get it. I mean I get
- 45:46Speaker 1: your point. Training camps the time to do it. Lester.
- 45:48Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to cut you off because we have
- 45:50Speaker 4: to get going here, but you call back tomorrow. I
- 45:53Speaker 4: don't need it to cut you off here, because you
- 45:54Speaker 4: have good points, and you're not wrong that training camps
- 45:57Speaker 4: the time to do some of those things. All I
- 45:59Speaker 4: know this is Zach Martin did not want to play
- 46:01Speaker 4: right tackle or left tackle. Zach Martin didn't want to
- 46:04Speaker 4: play tackle. I want to play guard. He's one of
- 46:06Speaker 4: the greatest offensive linemen in the history of the NFL
- 46:08Speaker 4: and of the Cowboys, and he didn't want to really
- 46:10Speaker 4: play tackle. There must be a reason for that. So
- 46:14Speaker 4: my point is is that it's not just a tweak
- 46:17Speaker 4: or two here or there. And they already paid Terren
- 46:19Speaker 4: Steel that money. So if he plays left guard and
- 46:22Speaker 4: he's not very good at doing that, then you know
- 46:25Speaker 4: that that would be a huge problem. So what I
- 46:28Speaker 4: think you should don't forget the fact of how how
- 46:31Speaker 4: great Tyler Smith is at doing that, because that that
- 46:35Speaker 4: is underrated, how quickly he's doing it. Not a lot
- 46:38Speaker 4: of teams could I mel players could go back and
- 46:40Speaker 4: forth like that. Anyways, great call, great great show as always, guys.
- 46:44Speaker 4: You guys have done a really awesome job today. Good
- 46:46Speaker 4: talking to you guys, and we'll do it again tomorrow
- 46:48Speaker 4: on Cowboys storyline. So for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Keepman.
- 46:50Speaker 4: We'll see tomorrow on the storyline.
