- 0:12Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 2: What is up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Thursday,
- 0:24Speaker 2: December the fifth. To check on that. Make sure we're
- 0:28Speaker 2: just kind of rolling along here in December, first few
- 0:32Speaker 2: days of December. Before we know it, it'll be Christmas.
- 0:36Speaker 2: And by then, what will the Cowboys record be? Will
- 0:39Speaker 2: they still be in the hunt? I think we're gonna
- 0:42Speaker 2: find out Monday night, I really do. I think Monday
- 0:45Speaker 2: is kind of that fork in the road sort of
- 0:48Speaker 2: for the season. It doesn't mean they'll stop playing hard,
- 0:52Speaker 2: doesn't mean that they won't try to win, you know,
- 0:55Speaker 2: games against the Panthers and the Bucks and all that.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Those are winnable games for sure. But you know, I
- 1:01Speaker 2: think I think what we'll find out exactly where things
- 1:04Speaker 2: are just by how they go out and play this
- 1:06Speaker 2: game and getting more guys healthy. It should be interested
- 1:11Speaker 2: to see about Trayvon Diggs what he does this week.
- 1:15Speaker 2: I'd like to see Trayvon Diggs and Deron Bland play
- 1:18Speaker 2: on the same time, like at the same time. I
- 1:20Speaker 2: know my man Lester in Minnesota always says, and Joe,
- 1:23Speaker 2: we get an offensive defensive linet the same time. How
- 1:25Speaker 2: about Bland and Digs at the same time with Jordan
- 1:29Speaker 2: Lewis hadn't seen it, hadn't seen it all year long?
- 1:32Speaker 2: Would be would be awesome to do that, all right?
- 1:34Speaker 2: Eight at eight eight five five to two two ninety
- 1:36Speaker 2: seven is our number to call. A couple of people
- 1:38Speaker 2: have already on the line, So let's get right to
- 1:41Speaker 2: it here, Anthony and Miami. Anthony, are you gonna be
- 1:43Speaker 2: yelling today?
- 1:45Speaker 3: Huh No, We're.

- 1:49Speaker 4: Today we're gonna leave Barry left him at home, which
- 1:53Speaker 4: is yeah, Barry coach, Barry Swiss, super Bowl winning coach.
- 1:58Speaker 4: Were just gonna talk about player. Firstly, after I caught
- 2:01Speaker 4: up on my shows, I'm always no more than two
- 2:04Speaker 4: shows behind maybe you and hanging of course of my shows.
- 2:08Speaker 4: So guys, I tell everybody you know, I'm not trying
- 2:11Speaker 4: to put myself out there, but when it comes to
- 2:13Speaker 4: support of other callers, when it comes to support of
- 2:16Speaker 4: the shows, I'm up there, you know what I'm saying.
- 2:18Speaker 4: If not at the lead dog, I'm up there and
- 2:21Speaker 4: I'm always gonna do that.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Are you? Are you for your spot on the all
- 2:25Speaker 2: storyline team.
- 2:27Speaker 4: No, I'm already second story around Nick and half a season.
- 2:30Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I made a second story.
- 2:31Speaker 4: That's a that's an accomplishment. Now should I do? I
- 2:35Speaker 4: think I'm supposed to me first to with with that
- 2:39Speaker 4: positivity and innovation, and.
- 2:43Speaker 5: You know, no, no, you know, but no, I just
- 2:47Speaker 5: I just I'm.
- 2:47Speaker 4: A support guy. That's it's what it is. And people
- 2:50Speaker 4: may get they may go after the car, but I
- 2:53Speaker 4: get myself. You know, Zack, he said what he said
- 2:56Speaker 4: the other day, and I appreciate that. And I've got
- 2:57Speaker 4: it before, you know, and I got I told you,
- 3:00Speaker 4: I don't say I hope here my self belief and
- 3:02Speaker 4: just believe in positivity. I got stacks of that at
- 3:04Speaker 4: the house. So I'm not gonna sell it. I'm giving
- 3:06Speaker 4: it away. There's nothing wrong with that. It's nothing wrong
- 3:09Speaker 4: with you guys. The guys, the Cowboy fans have closed
- 3:11Speaker 4: sometimes just going a positive way. We don't always happened.
- 3:14Speaker 4: It's a dim life. We are a great organization, a
- 3:17Speaker 4: good team. We just had some bad luck this year.
- 3:19Speaker 4: And you're just supposed to feel the way you feel.
- 3:21Speaker 4: So today is just hitting them out fast, baby, And
- 3:25Speaker 4: you know, let's let's talk about the team.
- 3:27Speaker 5: Okay.
- 3:28Speaker 4: In the beginning of the year, there are things we
- 3:29Speaker 4: say and hopefully you know, maybe you remember them. I
- 3:32Speaker 4: talked about me and you agreed on I could say
- 3:35Speaker 4: this the youth movement, and I like I call that,
- 3:38Speaker 4: I said one of the people saying about the youth movement.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Let's tank so we see the young feeling the young
- 3:41Speaker 4: players of sixty percent of the two they've been playing.
- 3:44Speaker 4: And I gave you four pet cats. I don't know
- 3:46Speaker 4: if you remember that. I told you Rico, Daldem, Jayleen Tobert,
- 3:50Speaker 4: Juanna Thomas and Israel willcom with Kneeland, I added Kneeling
- 3:53Speaker 4: in late those guys have been contributing to the team.
- 3:56Speaker 4: So I'm happy And like some of the callers say,
- 3:58Speaker 4: I love one Rico runs that ain't like that man.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Of course, we need a complimentary back, maybe even a
- 4:03Speaker 4: better back. We drift, but you got to get this
- 4:05Speaker 4: guy a chance on it. This guy's falling and the
- 4:08Speaker 4: coach just can't take the ball out of his hand.
- 4:10Speaker 4: You know, you go down there and with first and
- 4:12Speaker 4: goal first and ten at the eleven and three straight passes.
- 4:16Speaker 4: That's what started. I think that was in the second quarter.
- 4:18Speaker 4: You can't do that when the guy's running all over
- 4:20Speaker 4: people and say you're gonna run the ball. So let's
- 4:22Speaker 4: get those guys credit last, but not with a score.
- 4:25Speaker 4: I gotta give him a scoring prediction. But let's talk
- 4:27Speaker 4: about Michael one second. Another thing we agreed on, and
- 4:31Speaker 4: I said, Michael's becoming my second favorite player on the team.
- 4:34Speaker 4: After that, the man does show leadership. The man is
- 4:37Speaker 4: an anomaly, and people to say trade them for what
- 4:41Speaker 4: you may not get nothing. You got a three year,
- 4:45Speaker 4: three time Pro Bowl, All Pro player. They don't get
- 4:49Speaker 4: no better than that. That ricks have it. That doesn't
- 4:52Speaker 4: have the help that he needs at the defensive tackle
- 4:54Speaker 4: because all great ends pass rush and ends have those
- 4:57Speaker 4: tackles that push that pocket and command those double teams.
- 5:00Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. He doesn't have that, and
- 5:01Speaker 4: he always does it for the other guys. They always
- 5:04Speaker 4: get to eat because of what he does. So let's
- 5:06Speaker 4: cancel that talk. That talk should be over now, Cincinnati.
- 5:10Speaker 4: I'm going with the same score, twenty nine, twenty six.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Let's go with that, because now that's a score that
- 5:15Speaker 4: probably will happen. Keep Burrow in the pocket. If he
- 5:20Speaker 4: kills us from the pocket. He's the third best quarterback
- 5:23Speaker 4: in the league in my opinion. Okay, but don't let
- 5:25Speaker 4: him escape when you got him and then you know,
- 5:28Speaker 4: when it was third and fifteen and he gets the
- 5:29Speaker 4: first downpely if he runs it like the guy just
- 5:32Speaker 4: ran through lock, Let's not let that happen. Fellas we
- 5:35Speaker 4: do that. Keep our consistency on defensive offense. Just give
- 5:39Speaker 4: us something, man, special teams, give us something. It'll be
- 5:42Speaker 4: twenty nine to twenty six. Go cowboy, nothing.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Change, all right, sir, thank you. I don't even know
- 5:50Speaker 2: where to go with all that. You know, you say
- 5:53Speaker 2: that about most quarterbacks that they have faced this year,
- 5:56Speaker 2: keep him in the pocket, make them throw. Well, that
- 6:01Speaker 2: doesn't always help you with Joe Burrow, does it. I
- 6:03Speaker 2: mean he that that's where he really wants to be.
- 6:06Speaker 2: I mean he's comfortable there. He can throw it all
- 6:09Speaker 2: over the yard and you know he's not trying to
- 6:12Speaker 2: go run and slide and and do all that. But
- 6:18Speaker 2: you know, you got to get him down, and you
- 6:20Speaker 2: have to you have to pressure him and and maybe
- 6:22Speaker 2: maybe get him backing up a little bit, make him
- 6:25Speaker 2: as uncomfortable as possible. You know, it's just, without a doubt,
- 6:30Speaker 2: the toughest quarterback you know that that they'll face all
- 6:33Speaker 2: year as far as throwing the ball, you know, I
- 6:38Speaker 2: I I think Lamar Jackson is is is unbelievable and
- 6:42Speaker 2: he's you know, he would be a guy that that
- 6:45Speaker 2: I would put up there. I always put him a
- 6:47Speaker 2: little bit higher than I think most people do as
- 6:49Speaker 2: far as great quarterbacks go, and just just how dangerous
- 6:52Speaker 2: they are. But as far as just standing in the
- 6:55Speaker 2: pocket and throwing and making throws that you're not going
- 6:58Speaker 2: to face one this year, it's tougher than then Joe Burrow,
- 7:02Speaker 2: who you know, you could argue that he does that
- 7:04Speaker 2: better than Mahomes, you know, I mean as far as
- 7:06Speaker 2: just pure passor you could argue that I think, but
- 7:11Speaker 2: he's great. He'll be the best one that they face
- 7:13Speaker 2: this year. And don't know what their mindset is like,
- 7:17Speaker 2: but I know they put up points that they should
- 7:19Speaker 2: have given some up as well. All right, let's go
- 7:22Speaker 2: to Carolina in somewhere in the USA. Carolina. What's up man, California?
- 7:30Speaker 6: That's wrong man?
- 7:31Speaker 7: Today?
- 7:31Speaker 8: My friend?
- 7:32Speaker 2: You know, I don't even like writing that down because
- 7:34Speaker 2: when I get it sent to me and then you
- 7:36Speaker 2: get put on hold for a little while. I mean,
- 7:39Speaker 2: who knows, you know, you could you could be in
- 7:40Speaker 2: Nevada by now. I don't know it's where you're going,
- 7:42Speaker 2: but I mean, you.
- 7:43Speaker 6: Know I'm going to I'm gonna tell you.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I'm gonna call you Carolina USA. That's that's that's what
- 7:51Speaker 2: it is, man. I mean, we know where you're from
- 7:53Speaker 2: because that's your name, Carolina, but it's Carolina USA on
- 7:58Speaker 2: the road. Man, I love it.
- 8:00Speaker 8: Clip shout out to you and Randy for this one.
- 8:04Speaker 2: I love it.
- 8:06Speaker 8: And face Canada. I got first first first question for you.
- 8:10Speaker 5: Man.
- 8:12Speaker 8: Now, for the past couple of weeks, you've been saying,
- 8:15Speaker 8: I don't know how I feel about this. I don't
- 8:17Speaker 8: feel great about this game. How do you feel about
- 8:19Speaker 8: this game?
- 8:23Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not. It's it's winnable. It's winnable because
- 8:27Speaker 2: the the Bengals can get beat. They show you that
- 8:31Speaker 2: they get beat. But it's it's it's going to push
- 8:36Speaker 2: the Cowboys offense to a level that they haven't been
- 8:39Speaker 2: to all year long. That they're going to have to
- 8:40Speaker 2: score some points in this game, and we'll see if
- 8:44Speaker 2: they're up for the challenge. They've had eleven days to rest.
- 8:48Speaker 8: Okay, Okay, I'll take that out.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I mean that's uphill. But I mean it's definitely not
- 8:55Speaker 2: as daunting as I think some people are making it
- 8:57Speaker 2: out to me. I think, I think if they go
- 8:59Speaker 2: out and play well, I think they can win.
- 9:01Speaker 8: I just want to keep it patterned up. I just
- 9:03Speaker 8: need you to feel not certain, because last two times
- 9:06Speaker 8: he wasn't certain we won.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I'm not certain about anything. I'm not certain about any
- 9:11Speaker 2: anything right now except for Dak's not going to play
- 9:13Speaker 2: the rest of the year. That's all I really know about.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Other than that, I can't tell you anything. What could happen,
- 9:20Speaker 2: What might happen When I think Aubrey is gonna make
- 9:22Speaker 2: every kick that he has some block. When I think
- 9:25Speaker 2: Duran Bland is gonna play, then he doesn't, I don't know.
- 9:29Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 9:30Speaker 8: It's a tobago, it's a whole. I agree with you
- 9:33Speaker 8: on that. Yeah, I got a couple of things for
- 9:35Speaker 8: you today. I need a story about my god, DeMarco Murray.
- 9:39Speaker 8: Something nobody's heard that you may know something good in DCS,
- 9:43Speaker 8: all right, And Nix. I usually give my score on Friday,
- 9:47Speaker 8: but just in case I oversleep, I'm gonna change the
- 9:50Speaker 8: score this week, since she said I keep saying the
- 9:52Speaker 8: same score, so to this week, I'm gonna go, We're
- 9:58Speaker 8: gonna hold him to twenty one point and we're gonna
- 10:02Speaker 8: score twenty eight. No, no, twenty yeah, twenty eight. We
- 10:06Speaker 8: have twenty eight, twenty eight, twenty one.
- 10:09Speaker 2: All right, all right, all right, sounds you have a.
- 10:12Speaker 8: Good day weekend, man.
- 10:14Speaker 2: All right, sounds good YouTube. Man. Be safe on the road.
- 10:17Speaker 8: Hey, hold on, hold on, I'm about to hit you
- 10:19Speaker 8: with well you said to Anthley. Yes, I'm I'm pushing
- 10:24Speaker 8: for that storyline. I don't know what team onna be on,
- 10:27Speaker 8: but hopefully i'll make you.
- 10:29Speaker 2: You're getting there. You're getting there, Carolina, You're moving You're
- 10:32Speaker 2: moving on up. All right, thanks man, thanks for the call. Yep.
- 10:39Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a little change this year. I think
- 10:41Speaker 2: last year I did eight spots. I don't even know why.
- 10:44Speaker 2: I don't know why. There's there's nothing with eight. So
- 10:48Speaker 2: I'm gonna switch to eleven. Since it's it's what we're
- 10:51Speaker 2: doing here. It's football team is the first team would
- 10:54Speaker 2: be eleven and then second team, thirdeam maybe, so that's
- 10:58Speaker 2: thirty three spots. Maybe a little bit more for some
- 11:01Speaker 2: honorable mentions or whatever. But that's what I'm that's what
- 11:05Speaker 2: I'm looking at right now. Still working on the T shirts,
- 11:08Speaker 2: trying to see how how that's gonna how that's gonna go.
- 11:12Speaker 2: You'll find out real quick who pays for that, just
- 11:14Speaker 2: by how nice and soft they are, and if they're not.
- 11:17Speaker 2: If they're they're not, then you know where that came from.
- 11:22Speaker 2: DeMarco Murray story. My favorite DeMarco Murray's story is the one.
- 11:28Speaker 2: I think I put this in the book if These
- 11:31Speaker 2: Walls could talk, But that's one that I can tell
- 11:35Speaker 2: in the air. I'd like it. It's it's from one
- 11:37Speaker 2: of our scouts, the longtime scouts, Chris Hall, who was
- 11:42Speaker 2: in the war room and and he was standing on
- 11:45Speaker 2: the table for DeMarco Murray and they had they had
- 11:48Speaker 2: done all the homework. Here they are third round for
- 11:51Speaker 2: the draft, this is twenty eleven, and it's time to
- 11:54Speaker 2: take DeMarco Murray. That this is the guy that they
- 11:56Speaker 2: they want, they like him. And then at the last second,
- 11:59Speaker 2: now there's starting to talk about another running back. I
- 12:01Speaker 2: think of Stephen Ridley from LSU and now they're like, well,
- 12:05Speaker 2: maybe we should take Ridley. And so some of the
- 12:07Speaker 2: scouts are getting frustrated because you know, they do all
- 12:09Speaker 2: the work. They do all the work, all the homework,
- 12:11Speaker 2: all the calls, everything, they make the grades, and here
- 12:15Speaker 2: they put it on the board. It's here, it's time.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Why are we backtracking here? So they called Barry Switzer,
- 12:22Speaker 2: you know, not the real Berry Switzer are not the
- 12:24Speaker 2: one with Anthony. They called Barry up, you know, because
- 12:27Speaker 2: he's an Oklahoma guy. I mean, he gives them, you know,
- 12:30Speaker 2: some support. But it was like, what are we doing?
- 12:32Speaker 2: We know what we're doing, and it's last second. They're
- 12:35Speaker 2: on the clock now, and apparently Jason Garrett was kind of,
- 12:40Speaker 2: you know, waffling a little bit and he was like,
- 12:43Speaker 2: I don't know, and he then he goes Chris is like,
- 12:45Speaker 2: what are we doing? And Garrett says, all right, Chris,
- 12:48Speaker 2: it's fourth and one, last game of the season. We're
- 12:51Speaker 2: in the Meadowlands playing the Giants, last game of the season.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Fourth and one. We give the ball to DeMarco Murray,
- 12:59Speaker 2: does he score and Chris Hall stands up. They had
- 13:02Speaker 2: just drafted Tyron Smith first round, and he said, you
- 13:06Speaker 2: you running behind this big number seventy seven that we
- 13:09Speaker 2: just have and he'll score every day of the week.
- 13:12Speaker 2: And they're like, all right, turn in the car. And
- 13:14Speaker 2: so they turned in the card and you know, the
- 13:16Speaker 2: rest is history. But later that year he went for
- 13:18Speaker 2: two fifty three against the Rams rookie year and uh
- 13:22Speaker 2: and I think Jason Garrett gave the game ball to
- 13:24Speaker 2: Chris Hall, you know, just because he remembered. He was
- 13:27Speaker 2: just like, hey, I remember how you stand on the
- 13:29Speaker 2: table for him, And here he is setting rookie records
- 13:31Speaker 2: here two hundred and fifty three rushing yards in the game.
- 13:34Speaker 2: So a little long of a story, but that's one
- 13:35Speaker 2: of that I love about DeMarco Murray. All right, let's
- 13:38Speaker 2: go to Jeremy and DC. Hey, what's up?
- 13:42Speaker 3: How you doing?
- 13:43Speaker 6: Man?
- 13:43Speaker 2: Good? How are you?
- 13:45Speaker 3: I'm doing all right?
- 13:45Speaker 5: Man?
- 13:46Speaker 9: You didn't have to hurt nobody today.
- 13:47Speaker 2: No, No, I don't hurt anybody here. I couldn't. I
- 13:50Speaker 2: couldn't hurt anybody if I try. What's up about it?
- 13:54Speaker 3: I gotta make sure, man, man. So a couple of things.
- 13:57Speaker 3: I like how bron Hoffeman been playing, and I might
- 14:00Speaker 3: have to change his name to brock Lessener.
- 14:08Speaker 2: I hope people get that reference. I mean they should.
- 14:11Speaker 2: He's he's he's done everything right wrestling UFC. He should
- 14:14Speaker 2: know him. I bet brock Hoffman, I bet he. I
- 14:20Speaker 2: bet he thinks and he might be able to. I
- 14:22Speaker 2: bet he thinks he could take brock Lessener. He probably could.
- 14:26Speaker 2: I don't know he could.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Get one of them. Five.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 14:36Speaker 3: I like how him and Cooper bed was double team
- 14:38Speaker 3: and that's the lawns man. They look like the Dully
- 14:41Speaker 3: boys putting them to a table out there.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I saw that. Do you see that that
- 14:46Speaker 2: clip that Brian Baldinger's clip that I don't know if
- 14:50Speaker 2: you see that Brian ball I think it's called Baldy's
- 14:52Speaker 2: takes or whatever. He did. He did like fifteen plays
- 14:57Speaker 2: for brock Hoffman. Really is just zero in on him,
- 15:00Speaker 2: and they were they were impressive. He was he was
- 15:03Speaker 2: very impressed by Houston. So anyways, I'm sure he's getting
- 15:07Speaker 2: some love there.
- 15:09Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 15:10Speaker 5: Man.
- 15:10Speaker 3: And I'm a friend, and I like what Marcus Smith
- 15:13Speaker 3: is doing. You know, I made a I made a
- 15:15Speaker 3: I made a bet with myself. If Marsius Smith can
- 15:18Speaker 3: get like five sacks, we're like twenty tackles or something
- 15:23Speaker 3: I'll buy.
- 15:23Speaker 5: To macaus Smith jerseys.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Oh you know, yeah, that that's the deal I made
- 15:28Speaker 3: to myself because I really think he needs, you know,
- 15:32Speaker 3: helping that interiors, and I want to give I want
- 15:34Speaker 3: to give them all the confidence he leaves. You know
- 15:36Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Well, are.
- 15:39Speaker 2: We getting like home and away jerseys? Or we are
- 15:41Speaker 2: we just gonna have two two white jerseys? Or what
- 15:45Speaker 2: are we doing here?
- 15:46Speaker 3: I probably get like one of the white color rush jerseys,
- 15:50Speaker 3: and then I'll probably get like one of the beat
- 15:53Speaker 3: him up blues. That's what heck Mahards to call him,
- 15:56Speaker 3: to beat him up blues. Because I got I got
- 16:00Speaker 3: the m Smith. I got like three inmm the Smith jersey.
- 16:03Speaker 3: You know that's my guy. Yeah, so I got like
- 16:05Speaker 3: three and old.
- 16:06Speaker 2: You know you you would be the only person in
- 16:10Speaker 2: the world that would have three Emmitt Smith's and two
- 16:13Speaker 2: Mazzie Smith's jerseys. Is your last I mean I'm not
- 16:20Speaker 2: not to reveal that, but I mean, you know, is
- 16:22Speaker 2: it is that just coincidence? What's that Your last name
- 16:26Speaker 2: is it Smith? Is it.
- 16:29Speaker 3: My dad's last name is Smith?
- 16:31Speaker 2: Okay? All right, there we go. Emmitt Smith, Mazzie Smith.
- 16:36Speaker 2: You need a Kevin Smith and Tommy Smith? All right,
- 16:42Speaker 2: what do you got? You got anything else? We're just
- 16:44Speaker 2: kind of jacking around here. What do you got?
- 16:46Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 16:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I did have a question, but I kind of forgot,
- 16:50Speaker 3: so I'll just get to my little I got a
- 16:53Speaker 3: little trivia game that I wanted to start with you
- 16:55Speaker 3: when I call. And basically what I want to do
- 16:57Speaker 3: is I want to throw out a number, and I'm
- 17:02Speaker 3: gonna say a player with that number, and then I
- 17:04Speaker 3: want you to see if you could think of another
- 17:07Speaker 3: player with that number, tell us.
- 17:08Speaker 5: The story about him.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm gonna thought up with your favorite player
- 17:12Speaker 3: in number twenty eight?
- 17:13Speaker 2: Would okay?
- 17:15Speaker 3: All right?
- 17:16Speaker 2: All right, all right, man, see you later. See But well,
- 17:25Speaker 2: I mean there's only one twenty eight. I mean there's
- 17:27Speaker 2: been others, but what he what he's the He's the
- 17:30Speaker 2: guy Felix Jones wore twenty eight. And uh, you know,
- 17:38Speaker 2: I mean that was a that was a good that
- 17:42Speaker 2: was a good draft pick. You know, they they were
- 17:44Speaker 2: he was the second running back. He wasn't the he
- 17:49Speaker 2: wasn't the guy that I think that they want it
- 17:51Speaker 2: all along, But with Marion Barber and they took Felix Jones.
- 17:56Speaker 2: But you know, it was as an Arkansas guy, you know,
- 17:59Speaker 2: I was I was always excited about, you know, finally
- 18:02Speaker 2: taking a guy like that, and ever once saw, well,
- 18:04Speaker 2: Jerry Jones, he's Arkansas. Of course he's gonna take Felix.
- 18:06Speaker 2: You know, Felix. That was his twentieth draft for Jerry Jones.
- 18:09Speaker 2: So he came in nineteen ninety nine or eighty nine,
- 18:11Speaker 2: and that was two thousand and eight, so it was
- 18:13Speaker 2: like the twentieth draft. It was the first player that
- 18:17Speaker 2: it was ever picked by by Jerry Jones from Arkansas.
- 18:22Speaker 2: A lot of talk about other guys and they did.
- 18:24Speaker 2: They grabbed some Clint Sterners and Anthony Lucas of the
- 18:26Speaker 2: world and all that kind of stuff, but you know,
- 18:28Speaker 2: from other teams and gave them some shots. But as
- 18:31Speaker 2: far as drafting and actually taking a draft pick, first
- 18:34Speaker 2: player ever taken from Arkansas not in his first three games,
- 18:38Speaker 2: he was you know, scoring big, you know, big long
- 18:42Speaker 2: runs and all that. So he was a dynamic player.
- 18:45Speaker 2: But you know, it was it was a tough situation
- 18:48Speaker 2: just with Barbara Leavin and you know, kind of drafting
- 18:53Speaker 2: a complimentary player in the first round, but they needed
- 18:56Speaker 2: some juice, they needed a playmaker, and you know, he
- 18:58Speaker 2: was showing that before he got that first year. It
- 19:01Speaker 2: never really panned out, but he was an exciting player,
- 19:05Speaker 2: definitely exciting player to watch at Arkisas and exciting and there.
- 19:07Speaker 2: So twenty eight, that was your number. Darren Woodson's always
- 19:10Speaker 2: going to be the guy there, but you wanted another,
- 19:13Speaker 2: another guy, another story. I mean, let's go with Felix
- 19:15Speaker 2: Jones for sure. Let's go Chris and San Angelo next.
- 19:19Speaker 6: Hey mister Nick, hope you're doing well today.
- 19:21Speaker 2: But I'm good. How are you?
- 19:23Speaker 6: I'm doing great?
- 19:24Speaker 5: Man.
- 19:24Speaker 6: I found out that I missed you on the Spaces
- 19:28Speaker 6: last night. Yeah, by about an hour or so. That's
- 19:31Speaker 6: a bummer, man, But maybe next time. I always get
- 19:34Speaker 6: there late.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well I showed it. Yeah. I was there
- 19:38Speaker 2: for about forty five minutes on the Twitter storyline Spaces
- 19:41Speaker 2: and it was fun, you know, and it was different too,
- 19:43Speaker 2: Like like I could see that from the last time
- 19:45Speaker 2: I was on. I could tell that, you know, they've
- 19:47Speaker 2: kind of Twitter has or ex whatever has has kind
- 19:51Speaker 2: of you know, enhanced it a little bit. And it
- 19:54Speaker 2: was it was cool the way the whole thing was
- 19:55Speaker 2: set up, so uh.
- 19:57Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, did even confuse it.
- 20:00Speaker 11: So there you go.
- 20:01Speaker 12: I was good, Okay, Yeah, I was gonna have a question, question,
- 20:07Speaker 12: and let's see, I'm just gonna make a you know,
- 20:10Speaker 12: statement about this game coming up.
- 20:12Speaker 6: First of all, I was.
- 20:13Speaker 12: Wondering about Dak with the you know, he's been kind of.
- 20:17Speaker 6: Injury prowling a little lately. Do you think that that
- 20:21Speaker 6: makes it conducive for the Cowboys to try to get
- 20:25Speaker 6: a running back in the draft early or do you
- 20:29Speaker 6: think or do you think it'd be another position to
- 20:32Speaker 6: help him out, because since he's probably doesn't seem like
- 20:35Speaker 6: he's gonna might be could lose a little mobility, but
- 20:39Speaker 6: I hope not, but it could be the case.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was go ahead.
- 20:44Speaker 6: Okay, yo, I was gonna do that, and then my
- 20:46Speaker 6: uh my pick. I was gonna make a prediction that
- 20:50Speaker 6: Bland gets on the gets in the stats with a
- 20:53Speaker 6: pick six this week, and the Cowboys win thirty to
- 20:57Speaker 6: twenty eight.
- 21:00Speaker 2: A fun game.
- 21:02Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm trying to make it sound like all right, all.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Right, Chris, Well, thanks for the call, appreciate that.
- 21:08Speaker 6: Yeah, good to talk to you again.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Well, thanks for thanks for chiming in you know, the
- 21:16Speaker 2: Dak part as far as you know what what will
- 21:19Speaker 2: help him? You know that that just has to be
- 21:23Speaker 2: a decision that they make as far as what what
- 21:26Speaker 2: do they need to fix the running game, that's the decision.
- 21:30Speaker 2: I think that they need to figure out and and
- 21:32Speaker 2: do they need to get more more players in here
- 21:37Speaker 2: uh to to block? They need better guards, better center,
- 21:42Speaker 2: better tackle, a new O line, coach, a new running back,
- 21:48Speaker 2: all of the above. I mean, those are the questions
- 21:50Speaker 2: that have to be answered. So because and I and
- 21:54Speaker 2: I think all of that will help Dak as the quarterback.
- 21:57Speaker 2: You know, you you you have a running game that
- 21:59Speaker 2: you can rely on. And you know, I see some
- 22:03Speaker 2: of these other guys, other other players, and you know,
- 22:06Speaker 2: look at Joe Mixon, I look at the cook from
- 22:09Speaker 2: uh from the from Buffalo. I mean, good solid backs
- 22:14Speaker 2: can get five, can get six, seven, get twelve, they
- 22:17Speaker 2: can get fifty four if you need to. And that's
- 22:20Speaker 2: that's been missing. That's been missing since really since they
- 22:23Speaker 2: had Tony Pollard. But they they wouldn't wouldn't hurt to
- 22:26Speaker 2: have a running back that can also help help the
- 22:28Speaker 2: drive by by taking it to the house. And so
- 22:32Speaker 2: that's something I think that would be dynamic too. So however,
- 22:35Speaker 2: you want to slice it fix the running game, and
- 22:38Speaker 2: that that might be a couple of draft picks and
- 22:40Speaker 2: maybe a free agent signing as well. And I'm not
- 22:44Speaker 2: ruling out Rico. I'm just saying they they, they've got
- 22:47Speaker 2: to figure that out. I think Rico is a solid
- 22:49Speaker 2: number two. I think you would be a good rotational back.
- 22:52Speaker 2: I still think you could use somebody else with a
- 22:54Speaker 2: little bit more juice, but one way or another, all
- 22:59Speaker 2: of that, I think we'll help back. All right, let's
- 23:01Speaker 2: go to break here real quick on the storyline, come
- 23:03Speaker 2: right back and answer more questions and calls.

- 25:10Speaker 2: to two nine seven. Kind of it's kind of going
- 25:14Speaker 2: slow here today. I got four callers in halfway through
- 25:17Speaker 2: the show. Got to pick up the pace a little
- 25:19Speaker 2: bit here about Lester from Minnesota. Lester, what's up, hey, Nick?
- 25:23Speaker 4: How you doing?
- 25:25Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 25:26Speaker 9: I'm doing good? Question for you? What's that offensive line
- 25:30Speaker 9: looking like? Is the President coming back this week? And
- 25:33Speaker 9: also is Diggs coming back this week? Or what are
- 25:36Speaker 9: you hearing?
- 25:37Speaker 2: Well, we saw practice yesterday and they were they were
- 25:41Speaker 2: both out there for a little bit. From what we
- 25:45Speaker 2: were able to see. There was no injury report because
- 25:49Speaker 2: of the way the schedule is that's technically doesn't start
- 25:53Speaker 2: the week of practice doesn't start until Thursday because if
- 25:56Speaker 2: it's a Monday night game, so they didn't have to
- 25:57Speaker 2: do an injury report. But I have a few based
- 26:00Speaker 2: off what I saw. I feeling Diggs is going to
- 26:02Speaker 2: come back. I think Diggs would play, and I'm getting
- 26:05Speaker 2: I'm getting a good feeling about Martin coming back as well.
- 26:08Speaker 2: So that's what I think as far as the old
- 26:11Speaker 2: line goes. Not sure about Guidondoga might actually start there
- 26:18Speaker 2: at left tackle still so, but all.
- 26:21Speaker 9: Right, Well, I think I think we should just keep
- 26:25Speaker 9: running that ball, keep that high power four and eight
- 26:30Speaker 9: offense off the field of Cincinnati.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:34Speaker 9: And also I really think our defense can hold them,
- 26:39Speaker 9: especially if Diggs coming back. Yeah, my score of the
- 26:43Speaker 9: game this week would be twenty three to twenty one Cowboys.
- 26:47Speaker 9: I think two touchdownsand and three field goals that we
- 26:50Speaker 9: hold them to twenty one points.
- 26:53Speaker 4: I don't.
- 26:54Speaker 9: I think you guys are time of my favorite players earlier,
- 26:57Speaker 9: and if you were or what, I still give you mine.
- 26:59Speaker 9: Rogers all back in, Michael Irvin.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Okay, And.
- 27:04Speaker 9: As I always say, until we get a good it's
- 27:06Speaker 9: a very good offensive defensive line. This is what we
- 27:10Speaker 9: got Cowboys fans, all right, go Cowboys.
- 27:13Speaker 2: All right, keep it consistent, Lester all the all the way. Uh,
- 27:18Speaker 2: pretty good, pretty good favorite players there. Roger strawback Michael
- 27:22Speaker 2: Irvin a little bit different personalities, but both outstanding players.
- 27:30Speaker 2: And I would think you would just about every top
- 27:33Speaker 2: ten list you've ever seen that has the Cowboys top
- 27:36Speaker 2: Cowboy players, I think Michael Irvin is usually on there
- 27:40Speaker 2: in the top ten because you know just what he
- 27:44Speaker 2: meant to those teams. He was the heart and soul
- 27:46Speaker 2: of those teams. And then stawback. You know, you can
- 27:50Speaker 2: argue there as he wanted to with him or that
- 27:54Speaker 2: usually comes down to how old you are and how
- 27:56Speaker 2: much you've seen how much Cowboys you know games that
- 27:59Speaker 2: you saw. But either way, I think it's a pretty
- 28:02Speaker 2: good one too. And Bob Lilly right there, one, two three,
- 28:04Speaker 2: If you want to go that route, all right, let's
- 28:06Speaker 2: go to Robbie and Coco Beach, Florida. Robbie, what's up?
- 28:10Speaker 15: What's up? Nick? How's your day going?
- 28:11Speaker 2: Happy?
- 28:12Speaker 15: Thursdays going good?
- 28:13Speaker 2: You know, Robbie. I don't think and I could be
- 28:15Speaker 2: wrong here. I don't think anyone's ever called the show
- 28:19Speaker 2: every day of the week, Like, I don't know if.
- 28:21Speaker 15: It'd be bad not go, I'll take time off, okay,
- 28:25Speaker 15: I want to make sure I make that all storyline.
- 28:27Speaker 2: This team man, well, rob Okay, Robbie, I mean if
- 28:30Speaker 2: you were on, if you were played football, you'd be
- 28:33Speaker 2: definitely a defensive player. I mean I wasn't I wasn't bad.
- 28:37Speaker 2: I was just saying I was actually about to applaud you.
- 28:40Speaker 2: But you're ever like, what what is that bad? What
- 28:41Speaker 2: would I do?
- 28:42Speaker 15: I mean I didn't mean like that. I just went like, no,
- 28:45Speaker 15: because I like to use other people get to get
- 28:47Speaker 15: their voice.
- 28:48Speaker 2: No, no, man, it's good you do you. I was
- 28:51Speaker 2: applauding you for the fact that I don't think anyone's
- 28:55Speaker 2: had the consistency. What I'm talking about consistent.
- 28:58Speaker 15: Hey, man, on our team?
- 29:00Speaker 6: Where too?
- 29:01Speaker 5: Man?
- 29:01Speaker 15: I said the other day about coaching. That's why I
- 29:03Speaker 15: think we bring Mike back. You know, we need consistency, continuity,
- 29:08Speaker 15: you stay the course sometimes. I mean I've felt that
- 29:11Speaker 15: way about Garrett except till Yeah. But I mean I
- 29:15Speaker 15: like Jason Garrett. So I have a non football related
- 29:19Speaker 15: Cowboys question. Okay, and it's about you guys. You Derek,
- 29:23Speaker 15: it's the staff, the medical staff, everybody that's not a
- 29:27Speaker 15: football player. You guys get free lunches and like medical
- 29:30Speaker 15: care at the facility. Like if you hurt your need
- 29:32Speaker 15: you get to go to the training the trainers, training staff.
- 29:40Speaker 2: There's two different questions. Say that again. If you hurt, yourn,
- 29:44Speaker 2: if you get hurt question hurt.
- 29:48Speaker 15: Free lunch was the first question.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's called the training table. It's yep, it's
- 29:54Speaker 2: it is. It's a great perk. It's a great perk.
- 29:56Speaker 15: It's it really is. It was a great perk for years.
- 30:00Speaker 15: So oh go ahead.
- 30:01Speaker 2: No, it's awesome. It's it's really good. And not only that,
- 30:04Speaker 2: Not only is the food good, I mean it's what
- 30:06Speaker 2: that they serve the players and all that. Not only that,
- 30:08Speaker 2: but it's a place where you, you know, you get
- 30:10Speaker 2: a chance to see other people around the building. Everyone's working.
- 30:13Speaker 2: You see people there, maybe have lunch with different people.
- 30:16Speaker 2: So it's pretty good. I mean everybody but Chris. Chris
- 30:19Speaker 2: doesn't get to do that because he's he's doing seven
- 30:21Speaker 2: shows here, so he might run in real quick grab something.
- 30:24Speaker 15: Shows and then twenty four hours a day of other
- 30:27Speaker 15: stuff to get ready for the show. Sure, we know
- 30:29Speaker 15: Beam is the hardest working guy there, and we everybody
- 30:33Speaker 15: knows he needs a raise, Like we got your back.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Beam, he just got one.
- 30:38Speaker 6: Did he good for you?
- 30:38Speaker 15: Chris?
- 30:39Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't know, all right, and then.
- 30:45Speaker 15: You guys, that's that's kind.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Of touchy, like okay, especially of all seasons, like how
- 30:54Speaker 2: busy are the are the the athletic trainers and team doctors. Yes,
- 30:59Speaker 2: they're they're very busy. You don't. You don't go and
- 31:01Speaker 2: bother them with things. But if something were to happen,
- 31:05Speaker 2: they they yes, they they're there. They can help and
- 31:08Speaker 2: they can maybe say, you know, they can give some advice.
- 31:10Speaker 2: I would go here and there, but I mean it
- 31:13Speaker 2: also depends on how well you know those guys and
- 31:16Speaker 2: all that. But I know we're not sending someone down
- 31:19Speaker 2: there just like oh like it's not the school nurse. Okay,
- 31:22Speaker 2: it's not like that. No, it's it's not that way.
- 31:26Speaker 2: But I mean, if you see someone, you can you
- 31:28Speaker 2: can ask questions. Yeah, I've done that. I've I've had
- 31:30Speaker 2: when I hurt my calf, I saw Jim Mauer and
- 31:33Speaker 2: I said, hey, I go, can you look at this
- 31:35Speaker 2: real quick? And he said, yeah, you need to go
- 31:37Speaker 2: to the hospital like now. Yeah. So so yeah, they
- 31:42Speaker 2: can offer some advice like that. For sure.
- 31:44Speaker 9: Nick goes gets its ankle tape every morning, Yep, goes
- 31:46Speaker 9: down there.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Because it's ankle tape.
- 31:50Speaker 15: That's funny, man, that's stuff that we don't know as outsiders.
- 31:54Speaker 15: You know, we don't know what the not just the purse.
- 31:56Speaker 15: But yeah, I'm sure you get to talk to the
- 31:58Speaker 15: players a lot more off the record than you do
- 31:59Speaker 15: on record too, and that's kind of neat.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, but it's usually like at the training table,
- 32:04Speaker 2: it's like, hey, go ahead, you know, you can go ahead.
- 32:07Speaker 2: You're a player, you cutting front, and he's like, no, no,
- 32:09Speaker 2: I'm good. You know, I'm good, don't worry about it.
- 32:11Speaker 2: So like, oh, cool, it's something like that. I mean,
- 32:14Speaker 2: it's not it's not a lot like oh, you didn't
- 32:16Speaker 2: get the chicken. Yeah, it's not. Looks good.
- 32:19Speaker 15: I like your story yesterday about Terrence Newman and him
- 32:22Speaker 15: and Beamer being such good friends.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:24Speaker 15: I always thought Terrence Newman was a great player, a
- 32:26Speaker 15: great person.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:28Speaker 15: They did an episode with him about some cars and
- 32:30Speaker 15: stuff and it was it was you could just tell
- 32:31Speaker 15: he had a lot of humility.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was.
- 32:35Speaker 15: Hey that thing, man, I think I think this week.
- 32:38Speaker 15: I told you before, I think we're gonna win. And
- 32:39Speaker 15: if we win this game, man, then then I've drank
- 32:42Speaker 15: the koplid and I'm happy and I'm going for it. Man,
- 32:45Speaker 15: we're going for the super Bowl.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Then, right, awesome?
- 32:49Speaker 15: All right, but I think the score is gonna be
- 32:50Speaker 15: higher and everything. I think thirty one to twenty one.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Thirty one twenty one? Are you going with Cowboys? Yeah,
- 32:57Speaker 2: of course, all right.
- 32:59Speaker 15: I think our defense gets a couple of turnovers, maybe
- 33:01Speaker 15: even a defensive score. I don't know it'll be a
- 33:03Speaker 15: scooping score, a pick six, but I think I think
- 33:06Speaker 15: the defense plays a big part. All right, Well, we
- 33:09Speaker 15: got some swagger, all right, Nick, I'll let somebody else
- 33:11Speaker 15: get on the line. I know you're low.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Thanks man. I'm trying to figure out what's going on here,
- 33:16Speaker 2: Thanks Robbie. I'm trying to figure out what what's happening
- 33:19Speaker 2: here in in uh Cocoa Beach, Florida. I don't get
- 33:23Speaker 2: Chris isn't responding to me. So are we going to
- 33:25Speaker 2: the next call?
- 33:26Speaker 4: Is that?
- 33:26Speaker 2: Is that what we're doing here? Next call? Josh? Nope,
- 33:30Speaker 2: maybe Chris is on the line. I was going to
- 33:33Speaker 2: switch over to the next call from Cocoa Beach, Florida. Uh, Josh,
- 33:37Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Josh in Chicago, not Coco Beach.
- 33:41Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's on me, Josh and Chicago. What's up?
- 33:46Speaker 11: How you doing today?
- 33:47Speaker 4: Good?
- 33:48Speaker 2: I'm so glad I didn't. I'm looking at the list
- 33:50Speaker 2: here and I'm like, Josh and Coco Beat Florida. I
- 33:53Speaker 2: was like, I'm talking to Robbie. I was like, wait,
- 33:55Speaker 2: are you just gonna hand the phone? Makes more sense now,
- 33:58Speaker 2: all right?
- 33:59Speaker 11: Yeah, Coco Beat might be nicer than the weather in Chicago.
- 34:02Speaker 11: I'm in North Carolina too, right, but North Carolina is
- 34:06Speaker 11: not terrible.
- 34:06Speaker 2: I know.
- 34:06Speaker 11: We don't talk weather here.
- 34:08Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's all It's all good. I was
- 34:10Speaker 2: just a little surprised. I've never typed a Cogo beats
- 34:13Speaker 2: Cogo Beat, not the others too, But no, that's good.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Makes more sense, John, Just like, just like Robbie said,
- 34:19Speaker 2: Chris is the hardest working person there is. He's doing
- 34:22Speaker 2: like eighteen things at once, so not a big deal.
- 34:25Speaker 2: All good makes more sense, though, Josh in Chicago.
- 34:29Speaker 5: So not too much.
- 34:31Speaker 15: So.
- 34:31Speaker 11: I know a lot of people want Zach and Trayvon
- 34:33Speaker 11: back this week, and I think that'd be great. But
- 34:35Speaker 11: I was doing some digging into the Bengals recent games,
- 34:39Speaker 11: and the tight ends have really been crushing them in
- 34:42Speaker 11: terms of being like kind of second receivers and just
- 34:44Speaker 11: keeping the ball moving. So I really think getting Jake
- 34:47Speaker 11: Ferguson back and hopefully span Forward and scoon Maker can
- 34:51Speaker 11: keep doing what they're doing, I think there'll be a
- 34:52Speaker 11: key to success if the Cowboys win this game is
- 34:54Speaker 11: the tight ends keeping the ball moving down the field.
- 34:57Speaker 11: I was wondering what you think the biggest key to
- 34:59Speaker 11: success or matchup be this week.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, anytime you can get a little bit
- 35:03Speaker 2: more playmakers move the ball, you're gonna have to move
- 35:05Speaker 2: the ball and score, and I think Ferguson can help
- 35:07Speaker 2: with that. But I really I think we all should
- 35:10Speaker 2: be encouraged by what the backups did when when he
- 35:13Speaker 2: wasn't there. You know, they were serviceable and big, strong
- 35:19Speaker 2: guys that can, you know, be on the field. I
- 35:22Speaker 2: think we had a caller last week, maybe earlier this week,
- 35:24Speaker 2: you could be more thirteen personnel having three tight ends
- 35:28Speaker 2: at once, and that could happen. But you know, just
- 35:32Speaker 2: because you're a tight end doesn't mean you can block
- 35:33Speaker 2: really well and knock people off the ball. That's something
- 35:36Speaker 2: we have learned over the years too. So they're gonna
- 35:38Speaker 2: have to be good pass catchers. They also have to
- 35:40Speaker 2: be good run blockers too. You get a combination of both,
- 35:42Speaker 2: and you have two to three of them, you can
- 35:44Speaker 2: have a really dynamic offense. You see the Chiefs do
- 35:47Speaker 2: it all the time because they could run the ball
- 35:48Speaker 2: and they need to. They are not afraid to throw
- 35:50Speaker 2: it to them.
- 35:52Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree. I think spam Ford really showed some
- 35:54Speaker 11: stuff with some of the catches that he made in
- 35:56Speaker 11: some you know scenarios where we really need to keep
- 35:58Speaker 11: the ball moving so hopefully and keep that up too.
- 36:01Speaker 11: Thanks taking my call, talk too soon, all.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Right, man, appreciate it. Thanks Josh. Let's keep it going
- 36:05Speaker 2: here before we go to break. We've got one more
- 36:07Speaker 2: caller before break, my man, Joe and Stanford. What's U.
- 36:14Speaker 5: How's it going?
- 36:15Speaker 4: Brother?
- 36:15Speaker 2: Oh man, it's it's going great. Joe and Stanford. I
- 36:18Speaker 2: mean you were you were you were the originator, man,
- 36:21Speaker 2: you were like one of the first callers of all time,
- 36:24Speaker 2: and I guess you got a different job, different scheduled now,
- 36:27Speaker 2: can't call as much.
- 36:29Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 36:29Speaker 5: Yeah, it sucks, man. I missed the most of the
- 36:32Speaker 5: live shows too because of my job. But you know, man,
- 36:35Speaker 5: it's cool. Because you know that storyliners thing they started
- 36:38Speaker 5: on X. They've really sort of kept me in the
- 36:42Speaker 5: loop that way, and I appreciate it so awesome.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's great. Yeah. I saw I saw a
- 36:48Speaker 2: video that you have a bunch of new new jerseys.
- 36:52Speaker 5: Oh dude, Yeah. I found a bunch at a pawnshop.
- 36:56Speaker 5: And usually I wouldn't buy stuff like that from a
- 36:58Speaker 5: phoo because you can't trust it. But they had like
- 37:01Speaker 5: the ho as for all of it. So yeah, man,
- 37:05Speaker 5: I mean so many awesome players. Uh, it was really cool.
- 37:09Speaker 6: Man.
- 37:09Speaker 5: I got lucky. I spent a good chunk of change.
- 37:11Speaker 5: But yeah, I got a lot of good jerseys. The
- 37:13Speaker 5: Woodson signed one, it's my favorite.
- 37:14Speaker 2: Ah. They were all yeah, yeah, it's good.
- 37:18Speaker 6: Every one of them.
- 37:19Speaker 5: They saw sorts of them. But yeah. Anyway, man, I
- 37:22Speaker 5: miss talking to you guys, miss listening live. I wish
- 37:25Speaker 5: I could do it more often. Man. I don't have
- 37:28Speaker 5: any groundshaking things to say. I just wanted to say
- 37:31Speaker 5: I honestly have changed my mind completely about the coaching staff.
- 37:38Speaker 5: Five games ago. I thought everybody was gone, and honestly,
- 37:42Speaker 5: I think they're going to be back. I think both
- 37:45Speaker 5: I think the offensive coordinator head coach and defense coordinator
- 37:48Speaker 5: are going to be back.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Why I do Why do you? Why do you think that?
- 37:53Speaker 2: Or I mean, like, why would you would you be
- 37:55Speaker 2: okay with that?
- 37:56Speaker 4: Well?
- 37:58Speaker 5: Well, this is the thing. They're great coaches and the
- 38:01Speaker 5: thing that I was worried about that I honestly felt
- 38:05Speaker 5: like he was losing them. Both coaches were losing their guys.
- 38:08Speaker 5: And I think they've proven that that didn't happen. And
- 38:12Speaker 5: I also think which I sort of knew that the
- 38:16Speaker 5: defensive coordinator. I don't know why I can't ever think
- 38:18Speaker 5: of names right now. Yeah, Zimmer, I sort of knew
- 38:22Speaker 5: that it was gonna take a while for them to
- 38:24Speaker 5: learn his system and execute it, and then we're gonna
- 38:27Speaker 5: be growing paints. I didn't think it was gonna be
- 38:28Speaker 5: as bad as it was, but we had all them
- 38:30Speaker 5: injuries and everything else. Yeah, and that, honestly, especially on
- 38:34Speaker 5: the defensive slide, I think it's only fair to look
- 38:37Speaker 5: at that. But now, I mean, they're figuring it out.
- 38:40Speaker 5: We got Mica back, The players haven't given up on McCarthy.
- 38:46Speaker 5: I just I like continuity, man, and I know Jerry
- 38:50Speaker 5: does too. I think they're going to be back. I
- 38:52Speaker 5: would I would. I wouldn't put a lot of money
- 38:54Speaker 5: on it, but I'd put money on it.
- 38:56Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well that's fair. I mean that's a
- 38:59Speaker 2: that's a good point. I mean, and it's it's on
- 39:01Speaker 2: the table. I mean, it's it's definitely there. Uh job
- 39:05Speaker 2: always missed you, man. Thanks thanks for the call, and
- 39:08Speaker 2: uh glad to hear from you again. I know your
- 39:10Speaker 2: schedule has changed a little bit, but it seems like
- 39:13Speaker 2: when you had a chance you called in and and
- 39:15Speaker 2: I love love that. It was just YouTube man. I
- 39:20Speaker 2: was just in Stanford last week, last week, a week ago,
- 39:24Speaker 2: I guess you would say for Thanksgiving, just for the
- 39:27Speaker 2: just for the day, really for the night. So it
- 39:29Speaker 2: was it was a quick trip there. Uh, small town there.
- 39:32Speaker 2: And I'll tell you Stanford though there their football team
- 39:37Speaker 2: they were like thirteen and oh trying to trying to
- 39:39Speaker 2: win state. So it'll be cool if they do that.
- 39:42Speaker 2: I know. So small towns like that, you know, everybody's
- 39:44Speaker 2: kind of bond together with with football and especially in Texas.
- 39:48Speaker 2: And that's that's definitely no exception. I appreciate the call.
- 39:52Speaker 2: You know, it's so early, it's still early to kind
- 39:55Speaker 2: of see how things are going. To play out. Uh,
- 39:58Speaker 2: we know the season is somewhat it is a disappointed
- 40:01Speaker 2: the disappointing season. We'll see how it all plays out.
- 40:05Speaker 2: But but they're playing hard for the coach and I
- 40:07Speaker 2: think you're right they haven't. He hasn't lost the team.
- 40:10Speaker 2: But they they've got to keep winning. They're in such
- 40:12Speaker 2: a big hole that there's no room for error. So
- 40:15Speaker 2: you've got to go and basically win out here and
- 40:18Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see how it does. This might be
- 40:20Speaker 2: an eye test thing for Jerry to say, you know,
- 40:23Speaker 2: what does this look like? How does this team performing?
- 40:25Speaker 2: And based off all of the circumstances, all the injuries,
- 40:28Speaker 2: all the things, losing the quarterback all that, you know,
- 40:30Speaker 2: do you feel like the coaches is this coaching staff
- 40:34Speaker 2: is the right staff. There's gonna be changes on the staff.
- 40:37Speaker 2: There has to be changes, some position coach changes, maybe coordinators,
- 40:41Speaker 2: maybe the head coach. But you know, we'll see how
- 40:44Speaker 2: many changes there is. Let's go to another break real

- 42:33Speaker 8: What's going on?
- 42:33Speaker 2: Man? What's up? How are you doing it?
- 42:38Speaker 17: I'm actually a little under the weather, so I need
- 42:41Speaker 17: some recal, you know what I'm saying.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Nice.
- 42:44Speaker 17: Anyways, I'll make it quick today. Are there any pregame
- 42:49Speaker 17: rituals that you've seen over the years that you're like
- 42:53Speaker 17: that surprised, you impressed? You just kind of we're noteworthy
- 42:59Speaker 17: for many players over the years.
- 43:03Speaker 6: You got you got.
- 43:04Speaker 17: Some guys who you know, maybe fast food or something.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, uh, the one that I have heard
- 43:14Speaker 2: in the past, and I think this question was asked
- 43:16Speaker 2: on an interview that I that I was doing with
- 43:19Speaker 2: Patrick Creighton. I remember he had to have gummy worms.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Patrick Creighton had to have gummy worms or gummy fish
- 43:26Speaker 2: or something every game like he had he had to
- 43:29Speaker 2: have the bag there and he would eat it in
- 43:31Speaker 2: the locker as he was getting ready. That was his thing. Uh,
- 43:35Speaker 2: That's that's one that I remember. I don't. I'm sure
- 43:38Speaker 2: there's others like that. I know Romo wore the same,
- 43:41Speaker 2: like nasty white T shirt. It was like some kind
- 43:45Speaker 2: of had a bunch of holes in it and all that.
- 43:48Speaker 2: But I mean he wore that every every game. But
- 43:52Speaker 2: I don't know of a ton there. Chris might know some.
- 43:55Speaker 2: He's down there a little bit more. H he might
- 43:57Speaker 2: have heard some of that, but I I really haven't
- 43:59Speaker 2: heard a lot of those little, you know, quirky things.
- 44:01Speaker 2: I mean, other than you know, Dion Sanders. You know,
- 44:05Speaker 2: he had to lay out his jersey and from helmet, jersey, armbands,
- 44:12Speaker 2: long sleeve pants, socks, shoes. He like laid it out
- 44:15Speaker 2: on the floor in front of his locker, like it
- 44:17Speaker 2: like it was a crime scene, like basically like laying
- 44:20Speaker 2: down and so he and he would sit there and
- 44:23Speaker 2: observe it and study it and see how it looked
- 44:25Speaker 2: to him. And then you know, most people use a mirror,
- 44:28Speaker 2: but he like did it from that way. So anyways,
- 44:31Speaker 2: that's all that I know from that.
- 44:33Speaker 15: No, Well, and then what about your pregame ritual?
- 44:35Speaker 17: What what how do you get in the zone ready
- 44:38Speaker 17: to capture the story of the game.
- 44:39Speaker 2: You know, it's not it's not a ritual so much.
- 44:43Speaker 2: But it's like, I like, I can't get to this
- 44:47Speaker 2: to the stadium quick enough. Like if you you were
- 44:50Speaker 2: to say, hey, you got to be on this flight
- 44:52Speaker 2: for three hours stuffed in between like two people going
- 44:56Speaker 2: to you know, la or whatever, it would be like
- 44:59Speaker 2: the longest three hours of my life. Like, oh my god.
- 45:02Speaker 2: But if I'm there before a game for three hours.
- 45:04Speaker 2: But it's like that, it's it's quick. I can't get
- 45:07Speaker 2: there early enough. I love that I need to get
- 45:09Speaker 2: there early. You know, eat if you can. They've got
- 45:13Speaker 2: pregame shows to do. Just watch the games that are
- 45:16Speaker 2: on if there are games. But it's there's something about
- 45:19Speaker 2: I mean, I can't get there early enough. And I
- 45:20Speaker 2: know a lot of people kind of feel the same way,
- 45:22Speaker 2: but there's not a whole lot of uh, you know,
- 45:24Speaker 2: you've got to do this or do that park in
- 45:27Speaker 2: a certain way. Not really.
- 45:29Speaker 17: So I appreciate you saying all right, let's get to it, man.
- 45:33Speaker 17: You'll have a good one.
- 45:34Speaker 2: Appreciate it, all right, man, Good to hear from Muzaic.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Let's go. Our last caller today will be Sergeant Sue
- 45:40Speaker 2: in for work. What's up man, Sergeant Sue? Are you
- 45:46Speaker 2: there for worth?
- 45:49Speaker 5: Hey?
- 45:49Speaker 15: How you doing?
- 45:49Speaker 4: Nick?
- 45:49Speaker 10: My Bad'm sorry I need it on my.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Bad? Yeah?
- 45:54Speaker 10: And he's everybody.
- 45:54Speaker 2: How you doing to? I'm good? I'm good. Yeah, good
- 45:57Speaker 2: to hear from you. You said I was on the
- 45:59Speaker 2: Spaces last night. You were on there, you said you
- 46:01Speaker 2: were gonna call it the day he did, he made it.
- 46:03Speaker 10: Yeah, man, I was so excited. I was on Chrisy.
- 46:06Speaker 10: You know, I'm busy, but even whenever I try to
- 46:07Speaker 10: get through, it's really hard. You know, Robbie, he's playing
- 46:10Speaker 10: the you know, defensive player of the year over there.
- 46:13Speaker 10: He's blocking out everybody else's calling.
- 46:15Speaker 2: But it's awesome.
- 46:16Speaker 10: But it's awesome though, man, I love it. No, But
- 46:18Speaker 10: you know, I wanted to say, just in case I
- 46:20Speaker 10: can't get in tomorrow. I know I've said before, like
- 46:23Speaker 10: a lot of people have said before that you know
- 46:25Speaker 10: they're not picking against Dallas, especially on air and stuff
- 46:28Speaker 10: like that. And I'm still not picking against Dallas. Baby,
- 46:31Speaker 10: even if there's a fire, I'm not picking against him.
- 46:34Speaker 10: I'm gonna continue to eat my delicious delusion. And I'm
- 46:37Speaker 10: going to say that, you know, the Dallas Cowboys are
- 46:39Speaker 10: gonna continue to run the ball pretty well. You know,
- 46:41Speaker 10: Mike McCarthy, the mastermind that he is. Right now, he's
- 46:44Speaker 10: going to continue to get turpid in space and let
- 46:47Speaker 10: this offense, you know, develop a little bit more and
- 46:49Speaker 10: get a little bit better. Micah and all these guys
- 46:51Speaker 10: on defense are gonna eat. I think the Cowboys are
- 46:53Speaker 10: gonna win this man, twenty seven to twenty three.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Baby nice, all right. I mean that's the thing. Like
- 46:59Speaker 2: it's great is the Bengals are on offense. I mean,
- 47:03Speaker 2: like you you know, you can control the game by
- 47:06Speaker 2: by scoring. I mean it's almost like you know those
- 47:09Speaker 2: old old school arena league games or whatever like that.
- 47:12Speaker 2: You got to just match them. You got to keep
- 47:13Speaker 2: matching them and then and then when you get a
- 47:15Speaker 2: chance to get a turnover, get a turnover and capitalize
- 47:18Speaker 2: on that. But you know, the key is for the
- 47:20Speaker 2: Cowboys going to be scoring and not kicking field goals.
- 47:22Speaker 2: You don't get down in the red zone and doing

- 47:40Speaker 2: you thinking, hey, let's get points here? Got to get
- 47:42Speaker 2: touchdowns because you know you got a match Burrow. That's
- 47:45Speaker 2: where it gets tricky a little bit. You might leave
- 47:46Speaker 2: points on the board by going forward a little bit
- 47:48Speaker 2: more than normal, Yes.
