• 1:26
  Speaker 4: same way.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: It was the same way with us back in the day.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you overlook other games thinking, Okay, those are winnable games.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, you get.

  Speaker 2: So to get back there, did you guys have some
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Arizona games back in the day.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Absolutely? Absolutely. I can't remember what week it was. In
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: ninety two was the Super Bowl championship year.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: I think we went thirteen and three that year and
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: the Rams came in town and they were terrible and
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I can't tell you how bad I mean that game was.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: It was a close game, but the unexpected was they stated,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: you know, they kept on the ball, just kept rolling
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: their way for four straight quarters and they end up
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: winning that game, man, And it was it was a
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: tough one.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: It was a tough loss.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: With my dad got me tickets to that game. It's
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: like YESU Rams and then a guy named Cleveland.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Gary Gary Cleveland, dude had a day.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Because but but yeah, that was in every Super Bowl
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: year kind of had that had a game like that
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: now most time later in the year. But all right,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: when we got you for a few minutes, callers that
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: they love talking to you. So we're gonna go ride
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to it here.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: You know how it works.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Let's go Albert in Tucson, Arizona. Albert, what's up man?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You're on with Darren Woodson.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Good morning, mister Woodson, Good morning, Nick, Good morning.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Just two things. Well, first off, I just wanted to
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: say thank you to Nick because you were the voice
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: of reason last week. I was down on my Cowboys,
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: you know, and you describe how the emotional roller coaster
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: of being a Cowboys fan, right, That's exactly what you said,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: and you know, put everything in perspective for me, you know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: You know I have the tattoo on my arm, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: and that's why I love my team. And I just
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: wanted to say thank you for for you know, putting
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: me in my place and making me you know.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Albert, I'm sorry, all.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Right, Yes I do, mister Woodson. I had a front roll.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: See I actually grew up in Tucson, so not part
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: from Arizona State, you know, the city before. Who was
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: your favorite team to play and did you you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: game plan in your head just think, all right, you
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: know I'm gonna I'm gonna face this team and I'm
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: gonna stand out. So thank you very much, Go Cowboys.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good question, Albert I would say this week,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I would say the forty nine ers because we had
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: listening to ninety two, ninety.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Three and that the early nineties. They were they were
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: our match. They were the.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Ones that we evenly matched up with, and they had
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: some big time players Steve Youngs and Jerry Rice's you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: just you know, and he had a strong defense on
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: the other side as well. Ken Norton ended up be
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: coming over there in ninety three. But it was an
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: evenly matched game and it was that that game that
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: you knew was gonna go down.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: The fourth quarter.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we were watching them the entire season on how
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: they were, how they were looking, even though they were
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: in the NFC West and we were doing our thing
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: in the NFC East. But you knew it was going
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: to come that hit to hit battle, and that's the
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: game that you better be on point.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: You better be on point, you better.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Have the right mentality going in there, and it's gonna
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: be a slug fest.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You know, this is forty nine ers cowboys, like like
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you said, I this is this is a big battle.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It also reminds me a little bit of of Philly
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia early when you got there ninety two. Yeah, it
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: was almost like you had to get over that hump mentally.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And I kind of wonder if this team thinks that
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: way about the forty nine ers, like you have to
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: get over the hump about the team that's not you.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and it's and it's again, it's not just last
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: year was the you know the year before as well.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is forty nine has been a thorn
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: on this team's side.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And you can't tell me a guy like Dak Prescott,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: who's seen this defense multiple times is not thinking, Hey,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I gotta get over the hump here and they are.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Listen, there's three teams.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I look at this this the NFC, and I think
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: there's three teams that I can just firmly look at
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: right now and say, Okay, this is going to be
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: a game. Philly's going to be a game. San fran
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: is going to be a definite game. And then and
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys are a team that that matches up with
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: everybody across the league.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: As well, those three teams, and they have been really
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: for the last couple of years. All right, Speaking of Pennsylvania,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: we're gonna go to the call here, Jack in Pennsylvania,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Jackie with us.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: How are we doing?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Jack?
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: I'm good? So I gotta give a shout out to
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: my brother Josiah. He got me hooked on the break
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: when you and you know David Hellman and Derek you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: we're a part of that. So we've been lifelong fans,
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: even though he grew up in PA in New York
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: and Maine a little bit. But my I want to
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: share my first memories watching a Cowboys game. It's unfortunately
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: not a good one, okay, but it sent me out
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: to be a fan for life. My first memory watching
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: a Cowboys game as a kid was when Romo fumbled
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: the snap cool the field goal temp against the Seahawks.
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: So I want to get I want to hear what
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: your first memory of a Cowboys game was. Hopefully it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: better than mine.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Quick.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Do you know your you're on with Darren Woodson? I mean,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure you're aware of that. Are you on
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: with Darren? Would you have a game question? I don't
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: know if you knew that. Yeah, you are, because you're
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: on the hold, and I don't know if you knew this.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Darren Woodson's on the line right now, Jack, Yeah, yoh,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: So maybe you have a question for Darren as well.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'd hate for you to go back and watching to
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: realize that you did not have this opportunity. I can
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to answer that question too, you want to, Yeah, so yeah, Darren,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: if you want to answer that, then I'm nick I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: have a question for you for the offense, and then Darren,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: if you want to answer the question.
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: For the defense, Oka, that would be go for it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Great.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: So offensively, I know we struggled to run the ball
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: against San Francisco in the playoff game. I know a
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: lot of that had to do with Hollard, you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: having that terrible injury. But so I wanted to know, like,
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: from your point of view, are some ways we can
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: scheme some things to run the ball more effectively open.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Things up for dak On that side of thing right.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: And defensively, like they have speed on offense, like San
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: Francisco has Debo, they have Ayu, they have McCaffrey. So, Darren, like,
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: what are some things we can do maybe with like
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: j Ron curse and specifically scheming him, whether it's maybe
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: him just following Debo wherever he goes, or following Ayu
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: wherever he goes, or just helping guys out. And one
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: last thing yesterday, Uh, you asked who the most underrated
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: Cowboy player is? Uh huh, And my answer to that
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: right now, he's on the team. Right now. I love
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: Van Rush and I think he gets a lot of
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: hate that's unwarranted.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: I really think he makes the defense go and he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: really the quarterback for the defense because there's a very
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: noticeable difference in that defense when he's not in the lineup.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: But I'll hang up, all right, thanks, thanks.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: For taking my call.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you Cowboys, Thank you Jack. All right, let's go
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to your defense question. What are some of the things
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: they can do to stop?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Jack just asked a ton of question.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Look, I would say, look, defensively, you got to start
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: with Christian McCaffery.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: You have to stop the run. Yeah, and that's so
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: that's the whole thing.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: When you when you look at film and you start
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: putting the game plan. You can't let the forty nine
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: ers get you in third and third and three, third
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: and two consistently.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: So what does that do?
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: You have to stop McCaffrey not only inn running game,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: but the quick screen game you've made. Make sure he
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: doesn't become the deciding factor. Deebo is gonna make get
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: some plays? Are you gonna make some plays for you
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: as well? It's late on those, but there's gonna be
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: some guys that they're gonna have matchup problems with. But
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: McCaffrey cannot be the guy that consistently beats you. I'm
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: putting it on the quarterback. Make the quarterback beat you
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: in this game.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Do you know who's leading the NFL in yards on
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: first down?
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: That would be Christian McCaffrey.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seven point one yard.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I can see that it's.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Not just thirty three. It sounds like it's second three
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of the time. So yeah, all right, let's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: go to Travis in San Antonio. Travis, you're the next caller.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: How you doing, Nick?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: How you doing? You're on with Darren Woodson as well.
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: Awesome. Well, I just had a couple of things. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: watched Talking Cowboys yesterday and Isaiah was talking about the
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: last two meetings we've been physically outplayed, and I don't
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: I didn't really remember that from the last game. So
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: I went back and watched the whole game. Unfortunately, but
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: I went home, I wouldn't watch it, and I don't
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: feel like the first game when they came to Dallas,
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: we definitely got outplayed physically, but I went and watched,
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: and I don't feel like that second game in San France,
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: we got physically outplayed. I mean we had Rock thirty
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: with happy feet, he was forcing throws, he was he
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: was also you know, throwing stuff out of bounds, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: so I don't really feel like the second game we
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: got outplayed is physically at least, so I'm not worried
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: about that. And then I also I listened to a
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: shot He's presser yesterday and he was talking about they
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: do a a checkdown drill and practice like every day
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: and Mike with hard to gives that kind of a
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: code word to make sure he knows where his checkdowns are.
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: And I went back and watched the game just just
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: because I was already watching it. I went back and
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: looked the two picks he had, and the first pick
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: he had it was like a fifteen yard come back
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: to Gallup where he didn't come back on it, but
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: he had Zeke wide open the flat. They had a
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: six man rush in five coverage. Nobody was guarding Zeke
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: and it would have been Lenora trying to hit him
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: from a seven yard head start. So and it was
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: third and nine. So that's kind of like one of
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: those plays where you look at it and you go,
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: I know he was trying to make a play on
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: third and nine, but if you take that checkdown, I'll
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: take Zeke against or a running back against the cornerbacks
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: to get third and nine, and if not, you're punning.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: It.
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: Just played towards that defense. So I think this week
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: the key to it. I'm glad that Dak is kind
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: of pissed off. I don't mind that, but I do
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: want him to this week more than any other week,
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: remember where his checkdowns are and just take what Sam
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: Frank gives you and play to the defense. And it's great.
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: It's an honor to be out with Darren and I
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: just want to see what you guys think a great weekend.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: These guys are watching, These guys are focused. I mean,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: like you know, I know, if if I was a
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: fan and I had a chance to talk to a
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame safety, because I'm just gonna call you that,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I would ask a question if Darren Woodson. But but
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: these these guys are focused on.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what they are man, and that's you know, that's
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: a great analysis as fower as you know, you know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: given you know, Dak taking what the defense is given
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: them the dump offs or if they're there, take those
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: dump offs. Don't try to stretch it and force the
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: ball in because you still have a defense behind. You know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: they're gonna have to play field position in this game
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: as well. It's just not a game that they're just
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: gonna run down, you know, just move the ball down
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: the field. They're gonna have some some lasses. You gotta
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: give Sam France some credit. Bosa is gonna be coming
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: off the edge. They've got some guys on defense they're
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: gonna make their that are gonna make plays. But you
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: have to be able to play all three phases to
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: win this football game. And and defensively again, to me,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: it takes you back to the basics. Right, if the
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: balls out in the flat, mcaffrey's out there, you gotta
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: get them on the ground. The corner's got to tackle,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: the linebackers got to tackle in space. Like it's the
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: most basic things that you could do or what's gonna
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: help help you win that game. Because these two teams are,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: like we said earlier, they're evenly matched teams. So it's
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: going to be, you know, a lot about field position
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: in this game.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: You got guys that just want to go get the quarterback. Yeah,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously it starts with Micah. So the screen
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: game seems like it could be really, how do you
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: as a defensive player, how do you have that aggressiveness
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to go get the ball? But also the.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Discipline understanding situations, understanding situation And this is where film
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: watching comes in hand, because you know, if you can
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: really get the tempo and a really good grasp of
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: when they like to run screens, maybe it's second and ten,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: or maybe it's when they're backed up first and you
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: know they get a penalty and it's first and fifteen.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: When you can figure that out, and then knowing to
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: count the quarterback's catence as well. Right, there's there's a
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: lot of little nuances that you can pick up in
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: watching what they do and what they did last year
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: and what they're doing this this season to pick up
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: on things. But it's going to be again, the game
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: is so evenly mashed. I can remember, and I can
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: take you back. I can remember playing San Francisco and
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: we used to order in pizza during the playoffs and
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: watch film as an entire defense up until nine o'clock,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: ten o'clock at night.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: These are Super Bowl championship teams, right, so we kind of.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Knew what we were getting on on Sunday when the
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: game time came.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Up, just of the week of the forty week.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Not only I'm not talking about I'm talking about in
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: the playoffs altogether. In the playoffs during the regular season, now,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: you know, we we picked things up, and we figure
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: things out as far as work, you know, watching some
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: extra film. But it's in these big games when you
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: know that these two teams are going to be the
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: playoff teams and you've got to figure out the little
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: nuances about each other. And it's and it's the film
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: work leading up to that game that really sets, the
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: sets the pace.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Who pays for that pizza?
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: The defensive player that makes the most money. I'm seriously
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: really there. Oh yeah, absolutely whoever that is.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Early on, no, I was like, but the Ken Norton's
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: of the world, man, there are certain guys that absolutely.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely eating pizza.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, pizza, trust men.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of you're gonna go to Arizona State and
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: this this week, this week, this week, Arizona. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be That's gonna be a game. State I
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: think is playing better we watch the game.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not how much because I know when I see
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Dion he's gonna talk a little trash on the on
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: the our field, of course, So I gotta you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: be ready.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. Can't wait to see the picks from that all.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Right back to the Throne line a few more minutes
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: from with Darren here Curtis and Oklahoma, Curtis, what's up?
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: You got it through?
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: Hey, good morning man, good morning. So glad to have
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: Darren on the show. That's such an honor for us
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: to get to have access to him and call in
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: and hear what he's got to say. So I appreciate that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 10: I'm just I'm so excited for this matchup. You know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: as Dak Prescott would say.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Here we go.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: And you know I've called in, I've said it before
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: about this being an opportunity to help you in the
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: postseason as far as positioning. You know San Francisco probably
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: won't get a ton of losses, so you know you
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: could hopefully maybe get somebody to beat them up or
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: possibly beat them in the postseason, try to get home
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: field advantage. But with that being said, man, I think
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: you if Tyron Smith is not one hundred percent, I
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: think you said him. I think it's more important to
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: have him in the Philly games and down the stretch
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: and in the playoffs. So if he's got anything you
• 16:10
  Speaker 10: know that he needs to sit for, just go ahead
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: and sit him. Trust in adoga, just roll the dice
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: with that. I think you've said before like something of
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: our team has to be elite, you know, to get
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: where we want to go. And this week it's got
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: to be the pass rush. I was watching some of
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: the Rock Purty play a little bit, and he's had
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: four fumbles this year, so I think that's about one
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: a game, and I've seen a couple of times where
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: he threw the ball and kind of like just turns
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: away as he's throwing, and unfortunately one of them was
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: for you know, a dime touchdown. So it's not necessarily that,
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: but I don't think he's faced you know, a pass
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: rush kind of like we got. So that's all I got, man.
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: I'll let you guys get back to other callers and
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: stuff like that. I appreciate it. You guys have a
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: great day.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Curtis. I will say this, I think he's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: recovering those fumbles, or at least most of them, because
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I think they only have one turnover and games right now.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to take care of their taking care of the football.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: But man, but you know, you kind of know what
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: you're getting with a Kyle Sanahan team, right.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: They like a lot of the play action. They'll sty'll
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: screen you here and there.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Uh, they'll take their shots when they get inside you
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: know between the forties.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of little.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Things, the little anss that that you can kind of
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: pick up on with with Shanahan. But what they don't
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: do a lot is they don't turn the ball over. Now,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, they know where that party's gonna know where
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: he wants to go with the football.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: It's amazing what he's done and just a still a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: young player. I mean, that's just perfect for their for
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: their system. All right, let's go to another caller here,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Don and san Antonio. Don, you're on with Darren Woodson.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: Whatdy buddy?
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Hey Don.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: I was so sad when you're on the first time
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: and I couldn't get through to say how important you
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: are to me and the Cowboys.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: I called the show second day. Don Nick, your show
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: keeps growing. You're smooth.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: You've got or got over those jitters you had started.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was hot. Maybe it was just hot out
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: there in Auxtinnard. I don't know.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: No, Well, I'm talking about when you were in the
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: studio first started taking calls.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, I feel I feel it feels better.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: But slowed down.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, game has slowed down, you know, as Parcel says,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: knowledge is confidence confidence Let you play fast. So I
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: was a little too giterating. I don't know. It might
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: have been those drinks I've been drinking.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: What's up? What do you got?
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Well, A couple of things. Number One, I have all
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: the tops in the world and the Cowboys. I think
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: it's going to be a great year. I agreed with
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Nate when I heard him yesterday say that this isn't
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: a test, it's a challenge. I didn't think of it
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: that way till he said it. But I agree one
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: hundred percent. The question I have is as a fan
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: twenty six years ago, I went to the Hall of
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Fame by my son, he was twelve at the time,
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: and going through there. If our Cowboys were the Steelers
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: or the Bears or the Giants, we would have so
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: many more people in the Hall. What can we do
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: as fans to get Woody in there, to get Nate
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: in there, to get Everson in there, the people that
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: are being slided.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the problem is there's just not
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: thanks done. I mean, there's not something the fans can do.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know you know this more than anything.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You've been really close to the process. I mean, it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: not a fans thing. It's a Hall of Fame voting committee.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And I'll say this. I know you can't say this.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I'll say this. I think it needs to change, I
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: really do. I think they need to get more people involved.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: The baseball I think has eight hundred voters and I
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: think the NFL has like forty or fifty. I think
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: it needs to change. I think they need to have
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: more players involved in the voting process. The players know
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: who a Hall of famers are, and so it just
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: seems like it's a bias. You got these guys that
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: have to stand up in front of these people, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't love the process, but I
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: don't think anything fans can do.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I'll accuse myself from that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and that's saying I think. I think
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the way it's going, though, I will say this the
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: trend there are safeties that have been getting in. Yeah,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: they're they're getting in, and I think it's an order.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Charles Haley had to deal with this with pass rushers
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: put it like four or five years he got in. Yeah,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: and I think I think you're going to get in
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think so.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I think it's at some point, and you just said it, Nick,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: I think they finally recognize that the safety position was
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: an important position, and over time that you start to
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: see guys go in. But again, you know, there's not
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: much the fans can do, man, And I guess got
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: to wait it out and figure out, hey, if it's my.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Time, and yeah, well and there's other things too. When
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: people say, well, you know, he's got to get on TV,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: got to be got to be visible, got to show
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: that you're you know, like TV, you did thirteen years
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: of that. You got to be a good guy. There's
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: not a better person in the locker room. So no,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's the case. I think it's the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: safety position. And I think people are starting to realize
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: how important it was, because there's guys in the Hall
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: of Fame right now that at safety that I don't
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: think they were. They were as good as you.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: You know that I don't.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You're not going to say that that's what makes him
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: so good? All right, we got to get him out
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: of here. Do you want one more caller?
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: You got?
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: We got a guy Ronnie in New Jersey. Ronnie, you're on
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: with Darren Woodson. You made it through. What's up?
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Ronnie?
• 21:16
  Speaker 11: Good morning? Make good morning back? And I want to
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: say I agree, Darren is a Hall of Famer, whether
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: he's in it or not. Hopefully this is the year
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: that he gets in, because to me, I seem it
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: seems like there's bias towards Cowboys players that were great
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: in the nineties because we had so many great players. Uh,
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: Steelers had a bunch of great players in their era,
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: and they all seem to got in. They have gotten in.
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: I don't know what's going on.
• 21:44
  Speaker 12: With the Cowboys.
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: So that's great question for Darren. I don't know how
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: much he's watching the games or this season or not,
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: but it seems like our defense, our defense this year
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: looks a lot like the defense we had back in
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: the nineties. I don't know if we get grease with
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: that or not. But as in mentally tough guys, we
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: were bullies in the nineties, we became bullies in the nineties.
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: It seems to San Francisco as the bullies these past
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: few years. Who in our offense, in our offense needs
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: to become that mentally tough and just guys that are
• 22:25
  Speaker 11: bullies like we had Eric Williams for for Eric Williams
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: back in the day, and a couple of guys on
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: the offensive line.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: Who do you has.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: To step up and be that type of player for
• 22:38
  Speaker 11: us on offense because we have them on defense.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you great question.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: That's really great.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: So you had a lot of guys on the office
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: side of the ball that were just bullies.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I know Eric Williams is one that was, you know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: known just nasty all the time. But you know, Nate
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: was a dog man.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: He was a road grater and didn't back down from anyone,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: would talk trash the entire game. And then you had
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: step who was perennial pro bowler and Mark Twena who
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: you know, fight anybody in Gogan coming off the bench
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: and were just there were a lot of guys that
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: just were tough, hard nosed players. And I think this
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: is kind of the mentality that I see on this
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball, Like you have some dogs on.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: This defense man you really do.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Like Curse, I'm watching him on the sideline. He's going
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: he's going hard on people. And then you have you know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Doron Bland who's just a player just and of course
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: Micah and you know d Lawman. They have some guys
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: that have attitudes that I that.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I really like.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Offensively, I don't want my quarterback to be that guy. No,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: he don't need to be that guy, right, I want
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: him to play within himself, but play with confidence, you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: dish the ball out be a leader. That's what I
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: want in Dak. But then on that offensive front, of course,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: you know you got guys that you know, I'd love
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: to see a lot more tiring, to have a little attitude,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: pushing guys.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Around a little bit more.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: But you know, I like what I see as a
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: as a whole, holistically, as a team. This is a
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: different year, this is a different team. I think their
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: mindset is there. I think they're extremely confident in who
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: they are and I'm getting looked man. I think this
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: is gonna be a great matchup. I don't think that
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: San Francis is gonna go out.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: There and bullyball them. Now, that's not happening, not with
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: this team.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: This team's gonna do. If there's gonna be any bullying,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: this team's gonna be the bully.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: There's the other day a guy hit somebody out of bounds.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: It was one of those NFL games. They hit him
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: out of bounds.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Lay, I do it too?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Do that do that to Dak and uh watch Tyler
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Smith and Terrence Steele, nice guys in the locker room.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: They will fight out there. I guarantee those two guys
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: and Zach Martin the same I mean, I'm not saying
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: hold up, hold up, Bey honest fought more people than
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: anybody's training camp. Be honest, was mad at training camp.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: So they got guys that are ready to swing. They
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: have to. All right, we're gonna take a break, man.

  Speaker 2: couldn't talk to Darren.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: Uh.

  Speaker 2: He literally had to run. When I say he had
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: to run, he was running off to his He's a

  Speaker 2: lot of business things going on. He actually said that
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: today is game day for him for some of the
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: things he's got going on with his business. He said,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: this is like a game day for me. He named
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: off two or three things that he had going on,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: which makes me wonder. That's how great he is. Makes
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: me wonder why you would say, yeah, sure, I got
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I got thirty minutes, ten to ten thirty, I'll come on.

  Speaker 2: really appreciate him stopping by. So let's get to some
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: more callers. Erwin and Denver Erwin. What's up man?
• 28:14
  Speaker 17: Hey, good morning, Nick?
• 28:15
  Speaker 18: How you doing?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Good morning? How are you?
• 28:17
  Speaker 17: I'm doing great. It's too bad that I missed Daron Woodson.
• 28:20
  Speaker 17: I just wanted to thank him personally because my daughter
• 28:25
  Speaker 17: was stationed with the in the Air Force with one
• 28:28
  Speaker 17: of his family members and became very good, close friends
• 28:31
  Speaker 17: with her, and we became very close with her too,
• 28:35
  Speaker 17: and my daughter just raided about how nice Darren Woodson
• 28:38
  Speaker 17: was and got to hang out, you know, with his
• 28:42
  Speaker 17: son and his family at one of his basketball games
• 28:44
  Speaker 17: in a barbecue, and so it was just it was
• 28:46
  Speaker 17: just really I just really want to thank him well.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Erwin, But call back. He'll be on and I'll make
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: sure i'll get your contact number. When I figure out
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: when he's coming on again, I'll let you know, we'll
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: make sure you get on.
• 28:57
  Speaker 17: Okay, please do because but we're we're really friends, close
• 29:02
  Speaker 17: friends with one of his family members. Okay, we're we're
• 29:06
  Speaker 17: in close contact with her all the time. So all right,
• 29:09
  Speaker 17: I appreciate that, Nick.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a question for the game, you got
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: to what's talking question?
• 29:15
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I was just wondering so said that I missed him.
• 29:18
  Speaker 17: But anyways, how important do you think it is for
• 29:22
  Speaker 17: us to get that push in the middle, our defensive
• 29:24
  Speaker 17: tackles and stuff, to just put that pressure on uh.
• 29:29
  Speaker 18: This weekend?
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's huge. That's always big. Yeah, thanks
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Irwin for the call. I think that that defensive line,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: that that that that front when Hankins is doing his thing, Osa, Gallimore, Mazy,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: when they are controlling that middle. And you can say
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: this about a lot of football teams on all levels,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: but when you when you are controlling that line of
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: scrimmage right there and forcing them to do other things,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: because if you don't force them to do anything different,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: they're gonna run the ball right down the middle, right
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: down your throat, and you can't do anything about it.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Nothing more to more than that. So that's where it starts.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: It always starts in the trenches. It's a cliche, because
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: that's true. That's where it begins. So I think it's
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: very very important to kind of make sure that that
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: you can get after Purty. He's going to try to
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: dump it off, trying to dump it off to McCaffrey.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Try to make plays. Uh, you know, you know with
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: debo going side to side. That's what makes it so tough.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: It's that that they they actually use the width of
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the field more than than a lot of teams do,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: so they really stretch you, uh in that way. All right,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: let's go back to the phone lines. Kurt in Arkansas, Kurt,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: what's up?
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: Hey? What's up there?
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: He is not he had to run off.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: Oh that shucks. I think he hasn't gotten in the
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Hall of Thame yet.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, we talked about that. He tried to. He
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: was biting his tongue on that one. He knows the process.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: But but I can say it. I could say it
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: sucks because you know, the Cowboys are They've been around
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: sixty five years. He's the all time leading tackler. I mean,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: somebody's making attack. Nobody's made more than him.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: Also, I hope I hope the Cowboys uh go in
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: there playing Mad Sunday.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I've been a fan since nineteen seventy when they
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: appeared in their first Super Bowl.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about playing Mad. I don't know
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: if that's good or not. Sometimes you you you don't
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: you know, you don't focus on what you need to do.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: You got to you gotta be have controlled chaos. That's
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: that's what's.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: Got to be. I don't mean, I don't mean losing focus, man,
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: I think being mean, bullying, mad.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I mean I think I think
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: last couple of years have have bothered him, and especially
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: especially the way that last game went down. What what
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: San Francisco did before the game and all that crap
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: with the kicker. They haven't forgotten that, and those guys
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: are still there, They're still on the team. So you know,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: problem is is the two guys are their best two players,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: you know, two of their best players, and Williams, Trent
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Williams and d Samuel those are the ones that were
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: down there messing with mahar and the kicking snap and
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. There will be something in
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: pregame that will go down. I can promise you that
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: there will be some John, there will be some fighting.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: That's hopet goes down and deep tries to be decamptate.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, well thanks for the call, Kurt,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: appreciate that. Yeah, Tolbert as your head hunter, who would
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: have thought that one who would have thought he's the
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: guy that he wants to go down. But he had
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: a great play in the game. And you know, everybody
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: has a role. Everybody has a role in this game,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: and it's it's gonna be plays like that that that
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: will determine the difference. Sometimes it's the guys you don't
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: even think about. You don't expect Jalen Tolbert as as
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: your gunner to go down and make plays like that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Last year it was same same position. It was Kelvin
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Joseph went down there and forced to fumble, they got
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: the ball. Imagine this Cowboys had some red zone issues,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: couldn't score, had to kick a field goal that could
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: changed the whole game. There, all right, Billy in Destin,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Florida is our next caller?
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: Billy?
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: Him a first time caller. I saw that.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: I saw Randy Gregory got cut today by Denver.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I saw that just now.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a too.
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: You know, A two part questions can still play And
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: would Jerry be interested in maybe resigning him?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the question of that. Why did he get cut?
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: That's always the question. Same with Loo Collins when that
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: all happened to why did he get cut? They just
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: was just what last year they brought him in, gave
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: him a lot of money. Obviously different coaching staff. Now
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I understand that Sean Payton now different different staff, maybe
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: trying to go a different direction. But what's what's the reason,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: you know? I mean, is it? Is it football related?
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Is?
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: It? Is it? You know, he's been in the league now,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: it's almost what nine years, ten years, hadn't played it
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: hadn't played nine ten years where the football? We know that,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: but I don't know all the circumstances behind it. And
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I don't want to speculate, but you know, he could
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: rush to their pass or he's a freak of a player.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: It's just are their other issues going on? I don't
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: know this, I don't. It seems suspicious that you would
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: just cut him like that, unless he's an injury prone whatever.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know all the details. It's not a position
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: of need. I mean, Dante Fowler and and and Sam
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Williams are trying to get on the field, you know,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: and make plays. So I don't I don't know. You
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: always will take great football players, but that one is
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: one where that doesn't seem like that would make sense
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: because again I don't know why he was he was cut.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to another question here. This is
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: a text question from Denver, Colorado. He said his favorite
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: old school player Troy Hambrick. Wow, that's that's bringing it
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: back right there.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: And also this question, what offense positions are the cow
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Alas favored better than the forty nine ers? You know
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: that's that's a that's a tough one. I mean, receiver,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I think I think they have better receivers, But you
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say that about the taiden m. You wouldn't say
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: that about the running back offensive line. I don't think
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: you would say that. I think it's close, but it
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: just also depends on some injuries, and the Niners are
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: going through some injuries. And quarterback. Let's don't even go
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: there because because you know, Purty is playing at a
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: level that's perfect for what the forty nine ers are doing.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think if you rank all the quarterbacks, I
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: don't know if you put Purdy over Dak and all that,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: but that doesn't matter. That's why those rankings are ridiculous
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: to me, because what Purdy is doing for the forty
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: nine ers is as good as what anybody's doing for
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: the other teams other than you know, maybe myhomes in
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Kansas City. But he's just absolutely perfect for what they're
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: trying to do. But yeah, I mean old school player
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Troy hambrig I mean, got some funny stories for about Troy.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I could cheer him on the air,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: but uh, he was just he was just a different guy.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: He was interesting in him and his brother Darren Hambrick.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: But yeah, big old, big old strong uh running back
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: and replaced them and you know in in two thousand
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: and three and almost had a thousand yards. I mean,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: he was he was productive, you know, because he was
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: a big guy that that could move.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: In one game against Washington, he had like one hundred
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: and seventy five yards uh in that game against the
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: against the Redskins at the time. All right, let's go
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: to the caller Emilio in California.
• 36:38
  Speaker 18: Hey, Chris, I'd like to have two questions, one for
• 36:40
  Speaker 18: the defense and one for the offense. Defensively, do you
• 36:44
  Speaker 18: believe our Kurt will be able to get dee Bo
• 36:49
  Speaker 18: hit deebel pretty pretty well to where he's not gonna
• 36:52
  Speaker 18: want to.
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: Go up the middle.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 36:54
  Speaker 18: And offensively, do you believe that Gallop is fun coming
• 36:59
  Speaker 18: in on his own and that two games I've seen
• 37:02
  Speaker 18: him say very stay better.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Is this for me? Or did you want Chris to
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: answer this? You called me Chris? So I'm joking.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Chris.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Is Chris our producer that answers a call. He could
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: answer it. Though he could answer, he can he can
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: tell you if Gallup's getting ready or he's down there
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: on the field. He almost got ran over by Mike
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Guseki the other day. Good job kind of getting out
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: of the way. Uh there, No, he's got he's got
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: a great view and he's been doing this as long
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: as me. So Uh yeah, Debo and Gallup, thanks for
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the call, me, Lee, I'm just giving you hard time.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Uh deebo Is He's just a freak. I mean, he's
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: just now he's dealing with some injuries now I think
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: knee and ribs. Uh that he got hurt in week three.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I played some last week. He's day to day. Didn't
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: have a great game, but I mean I'm sure once
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: that game kind of got out of hand. You know,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: they're you know, the forty nine ers probably unlike the Cowboys.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: They pulled some of their guys. I'm joking, they pulled
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Zach Martin last week of People are giving you know,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys some crap for not pulling Micah Parsons there.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: That's probably easier said than done to get him off
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: the field. He's trying to get sacks. But but yeah,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: they they Deeble didn't do a whole lot. He will, he'll,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: he'll be ready, I'm sure for this game. Michael Gallup
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: last couple of games has been productive. And then that's
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: how we kind of thought would happen. You know, let's
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: see how teams go and try to cover CD. Then
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: not gonna let CD just kill him. And and so
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: because of that, that's why you get three receivers that
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: can play, because you can't cover everyone. And if Ferguson
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: continues to make the catches over the middle and get
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: first downs, that's gonna open up guys like Cooks and
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Gallop even more because those guys in the middle of
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: the field. I mean, that's what that's what fergus is doing.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: He's doing what Dalton Schultz was doing the last couple
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: of years. But he actually a little bit better because
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: he's down the field a little bit more. Now. Schultz was,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: you know, sure handed, and I thought he made some
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: tough grabs that he'd like to see Schoonmaker make. And
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the hindershot and and and Ferguson, they've all had some
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: drops a little bit, but really starting to see the
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: light bulbs coming on. I think for for Ferguson for sure.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: All right. Text question question from from Atlanta. This is
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Zach from Atlanta. Can you talk about development of second
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: year players to Moone Clark Sam Williams, Well, the moon
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Clark is playing more. You know, he's definitely he's starting,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: uh at linebacker. Uh, he's learning from Layton. You know,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: he hasn't made those wild plays that you thought that
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: he would make. But but I think that he's he's
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: he's fine. I mean, he's he's ahead of schedule from
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: where you know he was last year with that injury.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: So I think Damon is on track to be a
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: really good player. I think the game will slow down
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: more for him, and when it does, he'll speed up.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Sam Williams probably the same type of thing.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: His issue is he's just he's got a lot of
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: guys ahead of him. You know, he's just got guys,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: you know, ahead of him because he could rush the passer,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: and they have him in there rushing the passer. But
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you know, to to get on the field and play
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: more at that position, you have to be a three
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: down player. You have to, you know, you have to stand, run, defense,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: fits and all that stuff containment. So he's just got guys.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's battling with Dante Faller, the third overall
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: pick in the draft in twenty fifteen, that he's trying
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: to get on the field too, and Dorrin's armstrong needs
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: snaps and tank and of course Micah. So that's kind
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: of the issue with Sam. But I mean, I think
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: that they like him a lot.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Another caller, Earl from Richmond, Virginia. Earl, what's up?
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Earl?
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Are you with us?
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: Dude?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Jonathan?
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: How about Jonathan and Virginia? Jonathan? What's up?
• 40:36
  Speaker 18: What's going on?
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: Nick? How you doing good?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 40:39
  Speaker 19: I'm doing well. I have a couple questions asked. Well,
• 40:42
  Speaker 19: the first thing is we matched up with the Niners
• 40:45
  Speaker 19: recently in the last couple of years. Do you have
• 40:47
  Speaker 19: any nuggets or anything that comes to mind in the
• 40:50
  Speaker 19: last couple of times that we face them, that you're
• 40:52
  Speaker 19: going to bring to light. Just interested in that. And
• 40:55
  Speaker 19: then the second point I had is for the Tony
• 40:58
  Speaker 19: Tony caller running back, it seems to me he's not
• 41:01
  Speaker 19: as as efficient as he was last year. I mean
• 41:04
  Speaker 19: he would get like ten carries and have like over
• 41:06
  Speaker 19: one hundred yards. Do you feel as though they're using
• 41:09
  Speaker 19: him in the same way?
• 41:10
  Speaker 20: And is that kind of the thought process that we
• 41:11
  Speaker 20: should have had for like deep when he was here
• 41:13
  Speaker 20: to where the bell cow not everyone could be Derrick Henry,
• 41:16
  Speaker 20: but the bell cow running back kind of has to
• 41:19
  Speaker 20: get some of those carries where you're not going to
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: get much. Just to keep him honest, like, is there
• 41:23
  Speaker 20: anything you would want to say to his effectingness?
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, thank you. Let's let's start with with that
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: one with Pollard. Yeah, this is this is part of
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: the deal. Okay, this is this is it. When you
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: want to make him the lead back, that means he
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: takes the hits and he also he's on the field more.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: He's also taking more hits. Don't just look at his
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: carries and saying that's how many touches he has he's
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: also getting hit by blitzing linebackers and safeties and taking
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: you know, more more of that that the pass protection
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: collisions as well. So you know he's not a big guy.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: And and we we we know this. Everyone can see this,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: this situation with with and so you know it's it's
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: you know, your average is going to go down when
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: it's the third and one and you get two yards,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Great job, you did exactly what we want you to do.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: You move the sticks. Your average got hurt as well.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: That's what happened. Everyone was looking at Zeke's average all
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: the time, going well, it's not the same as Poller,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: of course not, because he's having to do the dirty work.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: And that's what Pollard's having to do. He's having to
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: do the dirty work. And what does it knocks your
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: numbers down a little bit. He's got a lot more carries.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's leading the NFL still he
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: was last week. I don't know if he's leading the
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: NFL anymore. But he's right up there in touches and
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: and you know, with an entire NFL that's not something
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: he's used to. So you can say that he's not
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: as effective he's very effective. It's just that he's doing
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: it more and you're seeing his numbers kind of go
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: down a little bit. But I think, you know, that's
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: that's the nature of it. As for Nuggets on the
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers and all that, I mean, I just
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: think that they've been they've been better. You know, the
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: last couple of years. They came in. They walked into
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: AT and T Stadium with the Boone box two years ago.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: They hit the Cowboys right in the mouth. They were
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: not intimidated at all. Didn't care about the Cowboys record.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: They didn't care that they just snuck into the playoffs
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: the week before. They didn't care. They walked into AT
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: and T Stadium. They took it right to the Cowboys.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: And it took Dallas a long time to kind of
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: wake up and finally figure out that this was a
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: playoff game. And and they you know, they got they
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: got beat, They got pushed around that second game. They
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: didn't the second game, to me was the fact that
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: one team had a kicker that they trusted. The other
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: team had a kicker that nobody trusted, and that even
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: himself that was the problem. Robbie Gold was hitting fit
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: forty to fifty yarders. Maher couldn't hit an extra point. Now,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: he did hit a couple later in the game, very
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: short field goals, but that was really more of a
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: product of the Cowboys not scoring in the red zone.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: I just thought it came down they didn't have enough playmakers.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: But that but that pregame stuff, you know, that was
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: that was a problem. And they forty nine ers tried to,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: you know, get into Maher's head and all that, and
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I thought that was bush league that they did. And
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: you know, they did it on a time when a
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: lot of the Cowboy players were not on the field.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: It's usually just kickers and return specialists. Trent Williams went
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: out there, Deebo went out there to try to send
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: a message. I'd like to see. I want to see
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: if they do that again. I want to see if
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: something like that happens. I know they pissed off a
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: lot of the Cowboy players, but it was kind of
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: too late at that at that point. But I trust me,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: there will be some issues on the field there before
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: the game. It's gonna be some fireworks, probably long before
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: the kickoff. If we can get one more caller. We
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: can't Earl in Richmond, Virginia.
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: Earl, what's up, Hey, Nick?
• 44:38
  Speaker 12: How you're doing?
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 44:39
  Speaker 12: I love your show and I love your insight on
• 44:42
  Speaker 12: the Cowboys and the game.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate that.
• 44:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah, doubt. My question is that everybody is saying how
• 44:51
  Speaker 12: great before the Niners. They are a good team. They're
• 44:54
  Speaker 12: not a great team and they're not unbeatable. So if
• 44:58
  Speaker 12: the Cowboys do what they do best, thing will win
• 45:01
  Speaker 12: and it's time for.
• 45:02
  Speaker 11: Him to win.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Well what do you think the Cowboys do best?
• 45:08
  Speaker 12: They do that is defense.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that's what it looks like.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: They got to be focused though, they got to be focused.
• 45:16
  Speaker 12: They've got to be focused.
• 45:17
  Speaker 18: Do I do agree with you?
• 45:19
  Speaker 12: They are well defensive. The turn into a defensive team,
• 45:23
  Speaker 12: good offense, very good offense, very good offense. The their
• 45:27
  Speaker 12: zone issue will be will be strained up because San Francisco.
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: Is not unbeatable.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well we're going to find out. I mean,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: that's that's the thing. I don't think anyone in this
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: league and the way it's set up, is ever going
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: to be unbeatable. I mean I think that that's that's
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: the nature of the league. But I do think that
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: that they are. I mean, they look great right now.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to call anyone good, great, whatever.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: I think that the you know, the Cowboys have been
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: great at times this year. The forty nine ers have
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: been have been great. And you know, when it comes
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: to this matchup, we talked about and focused. I mean,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: if you're not focused for this game, then you will
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: never be focused. I mean, you're just not going to be.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: So they'll they'll be ready to go. It'll be it'll
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be physical, it's gonna be emotional, and and
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: just who who can kind of withstand that? I mean,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I think the crowd will be ridiculous. I mean, the
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Cowboy fans will be that. This is a regular season game,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: this has been on the schedule for a long time.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: The Cowboy fans will be out there.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: That only intensifies matchups like this. So you'll, you'll it'll
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: be emotional in the stands, It'll be emotional on the
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: field before the game, during the game, all that. Who
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: can handle that, Who withstands the pressure? Who can can
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: can you know, focus in on all of these out
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: outside talk all this. You know, this is a playoff
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: type matchup and who can actually go in there and
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: get the job done. And we'll find out. This is
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: the greatest challenge the Cowboys have faced, you know, all year.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: We'll see if they're ready for it. But guess what,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: this is the best challenge that the forty nine ers
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: have faced as well. I mean, and they know that.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: I mean this.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: There's nothing you know, there's no there's no hiding that
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys are are a really good, good football team.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: The forty nine ers right now look a little bit better,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: but that could change come Monday. I can't wait to
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: talk about We'll talked about it in the next couple
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: of days as well. For Darren Woodson, thank you so
