- 0:12Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline, brought you by Gillette, the official
- 0:18Speaker 2: razor of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman. Hello, and welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm
- 0:28Speaker 1: Nick Eatman in August seventeenth, final week out here in Oxnard,
- 0:32Speaker 1: and we got some news, not shocking news, but definitely
- 0:38Speaker 1: big news, big news around the NFL. Cowboys have agreed
- 0:42Speaker 1: the terms with Von Miller, future Hall of Famer. Pass
- 0:46Speaker 1: Rusher's thirty seven years old, still doing it. Though nine
- 0:51Speaker 1: sacks last year with the Commanders didn't play a lot
- 0:56Speaker 1: of snaps. I think it was less than forty percent
- 0:58Speaker 1: of the snaps. Is still highly productive. I was looking
- 1:01Speaker 1: at his stats over his career. Of course, we're talking
- 1:04Speaker 1: about a guy that came into the league with Tyron
- 1:07Speaker 1: Smith in twenty eleven, so it's how long it's been.
- 1:11Speaker 1: And he's been playing at a very high level. Obviously
- 1:13Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP his fourth year in the league, fifth
- 1:17Speaker 1: year maybe, but with Denver and but you know, just
- 1:21Speaker 1: just a steady, productive guy that's done it. Sacks at
- 1:25Speaker 1: least I think five sacks were more in thirteen seasons
- 1:32Speaker 1: of his career. So he's been sacking some good years,
- 1:35Speaker 1: the great years together. He'll be a Hall of Famer
- 1:38Speaker 1: whenever he decides to hang it out. But it's not
- 1:40Speaker 1: right now. He's gonna come back. He's going to play
- 1:42Speaker 1: this season with the Cowboys. Hometown guy from DeSoto, Texas
- 1:49Speaker 1: and played to Texas A and m He's this is
- 1:51Speaker 1: kind of always, I think been the plan for him.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I haven't ever talked to him, and I don't know that,
- 1:55Speaker 1: but it sounds like there's just been so much connection
- 1:58Speaker 1: between von Miller wanting to come home and play for
- 2:02Speaker 1: the Cowboys and so here it is, and so what
- 2:04Speaker 1: does it mean? We'll talk about it. Let you guys
- 2:07Speaker 1: kind of ask questions. Well, we'll talk about exactly what
- 2:09Speaker 1: it means and who you know, who it affects the most,
- 2:12Speaker 1: and how that rotation might go. So we'll also talk
- 2:16Speaker 1: about a football game. You know, Cowboys played Seattle one
- 2:19Speaker 1: seventeen to seven. Some good things that came out of that,
- 2:23Speaker 1: for sure. So let's get right to it. Let's go
- 2:25Speaker 1: Chris and Saratoga Springs this first, Chris, what's up?
- 2:28Speaker 3: Aren't off the show? What's going on, mister Eatman.
- 2:31Speaker 1: How you doing, man?
- 2:32Speaker 4: I'm doing great now that we find my man, von Miller.
- 2:35Speaker 4: I've been asking for it for a week.
- 2:37Speaker 1: All right, well you got it. You spoken into existence.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Oh maybe I hope that came true. I mean I
- 2:43Speaker 4: kind of did it last year with the Jets Quinn Williams.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Then it happened.
- 2:47Speaker 4: So all right, Tom, finally get somebody. What's that?
- 2:51Speaker 1: You got anybody else you can? You can not on
- 2:54Speaker 1: my radar right now.
- 2:55Speaker 4: I don't want to give up too many. I don't
- 2:56Speaker 4: want to give up draft picks, to be honest with
- 2:58Speaker 4: They want to keep.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Our draft picks.
- 3:00Speaker 4: But I'm just beyond excited getting von Miller in there.
- 3:04Speaker 4: He's still he's still got the skills. I mean, he
- 3:06Speaker 4: didn't interview a while back, and he goes, I'm gonna
- 3:09Speaker 4: keep playing until they stopped fallowing from my old pass
- 3:11Speaker 4: rushing tricks. And they're still falling for him. So I'm
- 3:14Speaker 4: happy that he's on the team. He's gonna be a
- 3:16Speaker 4: great mentor for our young guys. I'm pretty pumped about that.
- 3:22Speaker 4: A couple of things about the game. I just wanted
- 3:23Speaker 4: to touch base, and now I do have a question
- 3:25Speaker 4: for you. Let's start before the game. Let's start with
- 3:28Speaker 4: the question first with the signing on von Miller, who
- 3:32Speaker 4: do you think is the odd man out? That's my
- 3:34Speaker 4: question for you because obviously that's gonna push a roster
- 3:38Speaker 4: spot down. So who do you think that's gonna be?
- 3:41Speaker 4: And as far as the game goes, I just want
- 3:43Speaker 4: to give one shout out. Well, obviously I'm gonna give
- 3:45Speaker 4: a shout out to you for telling us about Brown
- 3:48Speaker 4: like two weeks ago and telling us to keep an
- 3:50Speaker 4: eye out for him. You called it, and he delivered.
- 3:52Speaker 4: He's been unbelievable.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's better. I mean he was better in
- 3:57Speaker 1: the game than he was out here. Like he's made
- 3:59Speaker 1: those plays, but in the game that was unreal. We'll
- 4:02Speaker 1: talk about that more. But you got another shout out
- 4:04Speaker 1: you said you wanted to talk about.
- 4:06Speaker 4: The shout out to mister Jonathan Mingo. The play he
- 4:10Speaker 4: made on special teams. That's what I want to see
- 4:13Speaker 4: out of that fifth, sixth receiver and for a guy
- 4:17Speaker 4: coming into what is his fourth year, I think, and
- 4:20Speaker 4: to play special teams in the hustle like that, it
- 4:22Speaker 4: kind of reminded me of metcalf A couple of years
- 4:25Speaker 4: ago when he ran down that guy from way back
- 4:27Speaker 4: he did. Yeah, and you can you can teach certain things,
- 4:31Speaker 4: but you can't teach what that that on special teams.
- 4:34Speaker 4: You can't teach it. It's got to be inside of
- 4:35Speaker 4: you and you gotta want to do it. And I
- 4:38Speaker 4: was just pumped to see him get a couple of
- 4:40Speaker 4: catches and and uh, I was just very proud of him.
- 4:43Speaker 4: And I'm glad you know he put that that effort
- 4:46Speaker 4: in that. That's all I got.
- 4:47Speaker 1: All Right, Well, Chris, thanks for starting off to show
- 4:50Speaker 1: good stuff, good questions. We'll get to that, uh, and
- 4:53Speaker 1: appreciate the call. The first question you had about who's
- 4:57Speaker 1: the odd manned out? You know if if if there
- 5:00Speaker 1: is an odd man, I mean obviously you know they're
- 5:02Speaker 1: gonna cut someone and all that. But but as far
- 5:05Speaker 1: as like defensive line rotation, I I wonder where James
- 5:11Speaker 1: Houston fits into this.
- 5:13Speaker 5: Uh.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Now, he did have a sack in the game, played
- 5:16Speaker 1: in the second half and all that. It's gonna come
- 5:19Speaker 1: down to him. Maris lea foul and Sam Williams, I guess,
- 5:25Speaker 1: and you know, Leah Foul I think gives you some
- 5:27Speaker 1: more special teams depth because he's really a linebacker and
- 5:32Speaker 1: saw that in the game. I think he's he's done
- 5:34Speaker 1: some good things in camp. I think he's always gonna
- 5:37Speaker 1: have a problem getting off blocks, especially a defensive end,
- 5:42Speaker 1: so I don't I don't think that's a natural spot
- 5:44Speaker 1: for him. I think that he would be Those tweener
- 5:48Speaker 1: guys like Lea Foul can help because they play special teams,
- 5:51Speaker 1: they could play linebacker, they could do some things off
- 5:53Speaker 1: the edge, so Swiss army knife type thing. I think
- 5:57Speaker 1: he would be safe. Sam Williams probably gives you more
- 5:59Speaker 1: on special teams. He's blocked punts, he's he's got some
- 6:03Speaker 1: freakish athletic ability there. But then Houston's probably your best
- 6:07Speaker 1: pass rusher of those three. Maybe it's close with with
- 6:12Speaker 1: Sam Williams. So it always works itself out some one
- 6:17Speaker 1: way or another. So it's still relatively early to the
- 6:20Speaker 1: season to talk about that. And then your other your
- 6:22Speaker 1: your comment on Mingo is spot on as well. I
- 6:25Speaker 1: love the fact that here's a guy that that was
- 6:27Speaker 1: a second round pick for wide receiver at Old you
- 6:29Speaker 1: know Ole miss and he's going to be a star,
- 6:32Speaker 1: and and you know DK METCAF you mentioned him I
- 6:34Speaker 1: think maybe they were college teammates or at least that
- 6:37Speaker 1: they went to the same school, so I mean they
- 6:38Speaker 1: they were a part of all of that. And you know,
- 6:41Speaker 1: he's this career hasn't gone like you thought it would go.
- 6:44Speaker 1: And here he is playing special teams in the third
- 6:47Speaker 1: quarter of a preseason opener and making a play. So
- 6:51Speaker 1: whatever it takes to, you know, you want to. You
- 6:54Speaker 1: want these guys to fight for it, fight for their
- 6:56Speaker 1: position in the league. And maybe I'm maybe it's too much,
- 7:00Speaker 1: you know, to say it like that category is it
- 7:02Speaker 1: that way? But I know he was hustling and he
- 7:04Speaker 1: made a play and then and he also played wild receiver,
- 7:07Speaker 1: so you got to give him some credit for that.
- 7:09Speaker 1: So all right, let's go to Brian in Kansas City.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Hey, Brian morning, Hey, I like that shirt man. Can
- 7:17Speaker 3: I request that for storyline shirts for next year?
- 7:21Speaker 1: Maybe we can get him at at eight Bucks he
- 7:26Speaker 1: bought some pop. I don't know if we could do that,
- 7:28Speaker 1: but it should us fit the theme right of everything.
- 7:33Speaker 1: But I don't know if you guys can even see
- 7:35Speaker 1: like the umbrella is here in the background, it does
- 7:37Speaker 1: kind of. I mean, the only thing I'm missing here
- 7:39Speaker 1: is a drink with an umbrella on it, you know,
- 7:41Speaker 1: which which I just finished right before the show. So
- 7:44Speaker 1: we're good, kidding kind of joking. What's up, man?
- 7:49Speaker 3: That's the life in California.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Huh. You know what, I would trade it to be back.
- 7:54Speaker 1: I'll promise you that, I promise you. All Right, what
- 7:58Speaker 1: do you got, man?
- 8:00Speaker 5: Well, you know, when I'm just just going off of
- 8:03Speaker 5: what something Chris just said, I would wonder about Isaiah
- 8:07Speaker 5: Land maybe being the last guy on that list, if
- 8:10Speaker 5: you know, that just might be. I don't know, it's
- 8:14Speaker 5: hard to say. It's hard to say, but that's the
- 8:17Speaker 5: first name that came to mind last night when I
- 8:20Speaker 5: saw the little alert saying that, I was like, geez,
- 8:23Speaker 5: I wonder if that's Isaiah Land getting pushed off the
- 8:27Speaker 5: the bottom of the roster.
- 8:28Speaker 1: There I had. I didn't have him on it, honestly, Brian,
- 8:31Speaker 1: like I didn't have. Now, I mean, what the guys
- 8:35Speaker 1: I mentioned, that's pretty that's an I mean, all right,
- 8:39Speaker 1: let's let's just let's go down the list, Gary Ezeraku,
- 8:44Speaker 1: Von Miller, Malchi, Lawrence. So there's there's four right there,
- 8:48Speaker 1: pass rushers. Then you've got Sam Williams in the group,
- 8:51Speaker 1: and now I'm talking about the next wave of Sam
- 8:54Speaker 1: Williams in Houston and and and Marysleafoul. So I didn't
- 9:00Speaker 1: had I mean Tyres Wheats in there, you know he no,
- 9:05Speaker 1: I mean or Land And they both played pretty well.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Both those guys I think got sack half sack, as
- 9:12Speaker 1: did Houston. So again, though there's two more preseason games
- 9:17Speaker 1: to play, there's some more practices here. You hate to
- 9:20Speaker 1: say it, but they'll there'll be some some changes that happen,
- 9:24Speaker 1: and so we'll we'll see how it all shakes out.
- 9:27Speaker 1: But they knew what they needed and they you know,
- 9:29Speaker 1: this guy has been on the radar the whole time.
- 9:31Speaker 1: It's not a coincidence this happens in the final week
- 9:33Speaker 1: of training camp. This is very normal. This happens, you know,
- 9:36Speaker 1: you see things start to shake out at this time.
- 9:42Speaker 5: And you know, the thing I like about this is
- 9:44Speaker 5: that the fact that, unlike last year, we're bringing them
- 9:48Speaker 5: in in time to know the scheme and be ready
- 9:51Speaker 5: to go to the.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Metal I'm going to say the metal lands. I don't
- 9:53Speaker 3: think that's where the Giants play anymore, but that's what
- 9:56Speaker 3: the that's what they are.
- 9:58Speaker 1: It's the area.
- 10:00Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, but they brought him in and they didn't
- 10:04Speaker 5: do it in week three, you know what I mean?
- 10:06Speaker 3: Where the guy, you know, we that that really makes
- 10:10Speaker 3: a difference. He's gonna know the scheme. You know.
- 10:12Speaker 5: There's a little bit of irony there in that DeMarcus
- 10:16Speaker 5: Ware went to the Broncos when von Miller was just
- 10:19Speaker 5: a young guy and probably taught him a few tricks.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and now von Miller is gonna come here and
- 10:25Speaker 3: teach our young guys some new tricks. Hey.
- 10:28Speaker 5: My question for you today though, is I didn't really
- 10:32Speaker 5: see any separation. You hate to see it this way,
- 10:35Speaker 5: but I saw no separation between the two quarterbacks. I
- 10:39Speaker 5: know this was going to be, you know, hey, we
- 10:41Speaker 5: need to see somebody step up and somebody fall back.
- 10:45Speaker 5: I thought they both played okay, and I saw zero separation.
- 10:50Speaker 3: I just wondered how you thought. Man, I'll hang up
- 10:52Speaker 3: some other people can get in.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Good to talk to you next, Thanks, Brian, appreciate that.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Always good to talk to you here. From you. I
- 10:58Speaker 1: think you're right about the quarterbacks. I mean they and
- 11:01Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing because they both played pretty well.
- 11:03Speaker 1: They both led the offense into a score and if
- 11:08Speaker 1: you were to put one guy over the other. Now,
- 11:14Speaker 1: you know what, you can't even do that, because I
- 11:16Speaker 1: was gonna say, probably how just because you know he
- 11:21Speaker 1: kind of let them on the two minute offense and
- 11:23Speaker 1: all that, But that's you know, he probably went up
- 11:27Speaker 1: against a little better competition and had some better competition
- 11:31Speaker 1: and better guys with him in the huddle. It was
- 11:35Speaker 1: about the same. I can't. I can't separate the two.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I thought. I thought the way Shoty called the game
- 11:39Speaker 1: was a little different because I think Milton is the
- 11:42Speaker 1: second best quarterback, so to have him as the backup
- 11:46Speaker 1: was interesting. I think League Davis is your second best
- 11:48Speaker 1: running back. To have him working in the second half
- 11:51Speaker 1: was interesting. The League Davis may you just can't. She
- 11:56Speaker 1: can't get rid of him like you keep everyone tries.
- 12:00Speaker 1: I used to say, well, Blue, Blue, Masa whatever. I
- 12:03Speaker 1: think Leak Davis is the guy that you know, we
- 12:07Speaker 1: want those guys to be. Now, MafA wasn't bad, and
- 12:10Speaker 1: Mafa's been pretty good out here, and Blue nobody was bad,
- 12:12Speaker 1: but Leak Davis was better than he has been. So
- 12:16Speaker 1: all right is it? I'm on and am on in Memphis?
- 12:19Speaker 1: What's up?
- 12:20Speaker 6: That's mean? How you doing I'm going all about yourself today.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. What's going on in Memphis?
- 12:26Speaker 6: Well, Brian actually took one of my points and you
- 12:30Speaker 6: took another.
- 12:31Speaker 1: So I was we're just stealing. We're just stealing points.
- 12:34Speaker 6: But they're good points. I'm team Malik Davis. Right, we
- 12:38Speaker 6: waited for blue blue. It's kind of difficult for him
- 12:42Speaker 6: to break tackles. Maybe needs to put some weight on
- 12:44Speaker 6: I'm not sure, MafA. He had a couple of good
- 12:48Speaker 6: one yard two yard runs, but he was actually met
- 12:50Speaker 6: in the backfield. So I look, it's kind of good
- 12:54Speaker 6: for him being a big guy, being able to maneuver
- 12:56Speaker 6: and get out the way like that. However, Malik David
- 12:59Speaker 6: shows up each and every time that his number is called.
- 13:03Speaker 6: We have the new coaching staff and they say that
- 13:05Speaker 6: they're gonna let the best players play. When are we
- 13:08Speaker 6: gonna give Malik Davis's flowers and just put them out
- 13:11Speaker 6: there as a change of back to see what else
- 13:13Speaker 6: he can do. Also concluded with saying this, I don't
- 13:17Speaker 6: need Von Miller to be Von Miller in his prime.
- 13:19Speaker 6: I just need him to do a little bit of
- 13:21Speaker 6: what DeMarcus Ware did for him. I think Dak is
- 13:25Speaker 6: in a great position. We like to categorize quarterbacks says
- 13:28Speaker 6: a bus driver. But hey, I think Dak is in
- 13:31Speaker 6: the best bus driving position that he's ever been in.
- 13:34Speaker 3: And if he can contribute more than.
- 13:36Speaker 6: That, I think they could possibly get us over the top.
- 13:39Speaker 6: I'll listen to you, Nick and go, cawboy.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Great call. I'm on, that's awesome man, good points. And
- 13:47Speaker 1: you're right about you know you've heard me say this
- 13:50Speaker 1: or you guys have heard of this over the years.
- 13:51Speaker 1: I don't A bus driver is not a bad word
- 13:54Speaker 1: for me at quarterback. I think that's exactly what you've
- 13:56Speaker 1: got to do because it's a very important role. You're protecting.
- 14:01Speaker 1: You're protecting kids, you're protecting the team. You're you're the
- 14:04Speaker 1: one driving the bus. No matter how fast you go.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Sometimes you go fast, sometimes you go slow. But dac
- 14:12Speaker 1: Is is in that that role. I think. I think
- 14:15Speaker 1: the offense is humming. It's doing well practice. We'll see
- 14:18Speaker 1: what happens tomorrow. You know, a good, good, good practice
- 14:22Speaker 1: against the Saints. Man, I got I got the good
- 14:25Speaker 1: schedule this week. I didn't start off, you know, right
- 14:28Speaker 1: off the bat, because I was I was in the
- 14:30Speaker 1: b rotation of podcast schedules with you know how the
- 14:34Speaker 1: daily things it works. But to wrap it up, I mean,
- 14:37Speaker 1: I get I get the Monday right after the game
- 14:40Speaker 1: and the von Miller signing, and then on Wednesday we'll
- 14:43Speaker 1: get to chat about the Saints practice and the Kellen
- 14:47Speaker 1: Moore and his group come in here in practice. But
- 14:52Speaker 1: you know, I'm on brings up Maleigue Davis, and I
- 14:56Speaker 1: just think that like he's probably like I don't want
- 15:01Speaker 1: to say, anybody's hit their ceiling, but you know, he
- 15:03Speaker 1: kind of is what he is. I think, you know,
- 15:07Speaker 1: Mafa's stronger and blues faster and all that stuff. But
- 15:11Speaker 1: I think the the in between of those two guys
- 15:14Speaker 1: is is Davis and uh, Derek and I were talking
- 15:17Speaker 1: in the press box about it that he looks smaller.
- 15:20Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a shoulder pad thing. I
- 15:22Speaker 1: don't know if it's the number twenty. You know, thirty
- 15:24Speaker 1: four is always kind of a bulky or number than twenty.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Kind of looked like Tony Pollard running around there. I
- 15:30Speaker 1: don't know, maybe maybe he's he's lost some weight a
- 15:32Speaker 1: little bit, but he but or the pads could look different,
- 15:35Speaker 1: but he looked like a more gadgety type back and
- 15:40Speaker 1: but he ran well, he ran well, and I just
- 15:42Speaker 1: he's a special teams guy too. I just don't know
- 15:46Speaker 1: if they cut him. I just I don't think they do. Actually,
- 15:50Speaker 1: all right, let's go to let's go to the phone line.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Albert and Tucson. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brandon, I
- 15:55Speaker 1: missed that. Brandon and Fresno. Albert will get to you.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Brandon and Fresno.
- 15:58Speaker 7: I'm going on, Nick.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Sorry, I mean to skip you.
- 16:02Speaker 7: No worries, uh, just going off the game. Man, you know,
- 16:07Speaker 7: there was somebody that stands, stands out and everything like that. Actually,
- 16:10Speaker 7: Julius would man, you see that on that stop. I
- 16:13Speaker 7: mean that guy was flying like just fast.
- 16:18Speaker 6: Man.
- 16:18Speaker 7: So I was trying to watch, you know, in his preseason.
- 16:21Speaker 7: But these guys are trying hard, they're trying to find
- 16:22Speaker 7: the roster spot. But man, when he made that play,
- 16:25Speaker 7: it just stood out to me, and I just wanted
- 16:27Speaker 7: to get your take on that.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Man.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Well, I have to you know, I type for a living,
- 16:33Speaker 1: so if I if I pat myself on the back
- 16:35Speaker 1: too much, I'll break my arms and hands and all that,
- 16:38Speaker 1: and I can't do my jobs. However, Julius Wood is
- 16:42Speaker 1: another one that I've kind of been thrown out there
- 16:45Speaker 1: a lot, same as Camden Brown. So you know, so far,
- 16:53Speaker 1: so good on that kind of stuff. No, I mean Julius,
- 16:58Speaker 1: who couldn't see that. I mean he he flies all
- 17:01Speaker 1: he flies around the ball. I mean, now with the safety,
- 17:05Speaker 1: you gotta be careful with that because those kind of
- 17:07Speaker 1: guys Donovan Wilson sort of did that and then sometimes
- 17:10Speaker 1: you get beat, you know when when you when you're
- 17:12Speaker 1: so aggressive, they'll use that against you. So he's got
- 17:15Speaker 1: to learn to kind of play under control and also
- 17:19Speaker 1: out of control at the same time. That's what safeties do.
- 17:21Speaker 1: But yeah, he really packs a punch. I love the
- 17:24Speaker 1: way he flies to the ball, gets there and and
- 17:27Speaker 1: he you know, he talking about Mingo and talking about him.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Both those guys save touchdowns with with their hustle plays.
- 17:34Speaker 7: Yeah, I just I figured, like, man, here we go
- 17:37Speaker 7: begging the score, you know, my punt, there they go
- 17:39Speaker 7: and then well we get a stop. So I was
- 17:40Speaker 7: very surprised, really good to see that.
- 17:42Speaker 1: That was a good defensive effort there. Yeah, keep going, no,
- 17:47Speaker 1: keep going on, all right, Just you have a good day, man,
- 17:51Speaker 1: Thanks you too. You know, I'll expand on that a
- 17:53Speaker 1: little bit. With the defense going into the game, I
- 17:58Speaker 1: was asked about some people, just like, what do you
- 18:00Speaker 1: think is gonna happen tonight and preseason opener and all that,
- 18:03Speaker 1: And Cowboys hadn't won a road game preseason opener in
- 18:07Speaker 1: fourteen years twenty twelve last time they went on a
- 18:10Speaker 1: road first game and won a game. And I don't
- 18:15Speaker 1: think that's a coincidence. But I also think that this
- 18:18Speaker 1: is different. These guys are trying to win, not number
- 18:22Speaker 1: one priority. Staying healthy is always number one. But I
- 18:25Speaker 1: think they go out there and they're not These aren't
- 18:28Speaker 1: old school coaches all. These are young guys eager to
- 18:31Speaker 1: go out there, eager to win. You know. It reminds
- 18:34Speaker 1: me sort of of what I had heard about the
- 18:36Speaker 1: eighty nine Jimmy Johnson and those young Miami coaches that
- 18:39Speaker 1: came in here. And what did they do well. They
- 18:41Speaker 1: went three and one in the preseason. They beat some
- 18:44Speaker 1: really good teams, and then they went one in fifteen.
- 18:46Speaker 1: So I'm not saying winning the game is the most important,
- 18:51Speaker 1: but I do think they were competitive. I think Christian
- 18:53Speaker 1: Parker was scheming some things out there. He was throwing
- 18:56Speaker 1: into some blitzes. He was showing a little bit out there,
- 18:59Speaker 1: which isn't bad, but uh, they it was important and
- 19:04Speaker 1: he could tell. You can tell by the way they
- 19:05Speaker 1: went out and played that game from start to finish,
- 19:07Speaker 1: that it was important to go out there and have
- 19:09Speaker 1: a good showing and win the game, and they did.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Albert and Tucson is our next scholar. Thick my man,
- 19:17Speaker 1: good morning, how you doing.
- 19:19Speaker 8: I'm doing okay, I'm doing okay. Thank you for asking.
- 19:24Speaker 8: But let's cool with this one. Stay too obvious, von
- 19:29Speaker 8: Miller excited. I think, uh, and Christian's Parker's skiing. He
- 19:36Speaker 8: has a chance to get double digit backed this year.
- 19:40Speaker 8: And I think I don't think Houston will be the
- 19:45Speaker 8: auto man. I think it's gonna be I think we're
- 19:48Speaker 8: gonna be surprised of the person that gets cut.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Are you Are you just saying it's a surprise, are you?
- 19:56Speaker 1: Are you throwing something out there?
- 19:59Speaker 3: Uh?
- 20:00Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be someone we don't expect, honestly,
- 20:03Speaker 8: because I think, uh, uh, Shotty's comments about Houston, and
- 20:09Speaker 8: you know, I think he likes the kids, so I
- 20:11Speaker 8: think it's be difficult for them to to put him on.
- 20:15Speaker 1: The box, you know, yeah, yeah.
- 20:20Speaker 3: In the game.
- 20:22Speaker 8: You know, at first I thought, yes, man Parson his penalties,
- 20:27Speaker 8: Nate Thomas Fealty. I was like, man, it is at
- 20:31Speaker 8: these the same ole Cowboys and you know what this team,
- 20:36Speaker 8: you know, second teamers, third uh teamers proved me wrong.
- 20:41Speaker 8: And uh, I'm excited about that because you know, I
- 20:47Speaker 8: could have been like, oh my god, here we go again,
- 20:50Speaker 8: and uh it's not you know, I think shiash Pete
- 20:56Speaker 8: more than him inside the guard. That guy was moving people.
- 21:00Speaker 8: I don't know if you've got to notice that guy.
- 21:02Speaker 8: He's a big dude, and you know, he opened up
- 21:07Speaker 8: some holes. And I'm actually excited to about the the issue.
- 21:15Speaker 8: It's not even an issue, but the you know, the
- 21:19Speaker 8: the the I'm gonna say it, the plethora running backs
- 21:26Speaker 8: that we have, you know, especially for a number two.
- 21:29Speaker 8: I think they're going to compliment mister Williams for sure.
- 21:34Speaker 8: And that's all I got. Thank you very much. Uh,
- 21:38Speaker 8: if you're in Phoenix, I'll probably see you there hopefully Cowboys. Yeah,
- 21:44Speaker 8: I'll be there. I'll be at I'll be at the
- 21:47Speaker 8: twenty yard line. Four throw up?
- 21:51Speaker 1: Is that the Cowboys side or Arizona side?
- 21:54Speaker 8: I'll be on the Cowboy side.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Twenty yard line is usually where we'll do our pregame show,
- 22:04Speaker 1: one of the twenty yard lines. But yeah, we'll be
- 22:08Speaker 1: we'll be there doing them, doing the show. So maybe yeah,
- 22:11Speaker 1: we'll be walking by that. Yeah, you'll see you'll see

- 22:27Speaker 1: All right, Albert, it's good to good to talk to you,
- 22:29Speaker 1: and a good chance to see you there as well.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Good points, a lot of running backs. It'll again, that's
- 22:35Speaker 1: like defensive end. It will kind of sort itself out.

- 24:43Speaker 1: Robin Vegas has been holding Rob what's up man?
- 24:46Speaker 12: Hey, Nick?
- 24:47Speaker 1: How's everything good? How are you?
- 24:49Speaker 13: I'm good. I enjoyed that game. It's just nice to
- 24:53Speaker 13: have football back.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:55Speaker 13: I agree with a lot of callers. I agree with
- 25:00Speaker 13: Malik Davis. You know, you could keep trying to replace them,
- 25:03Speaker 13: but at the end of the day, yeah, he just performs,
- 25:07Speaker 13: so you know, yeah, he's just better. I thought Joe
- 25:11Speaker 13: Milton looked good, especially compared to the last year. Whatever
- 25:15Speaker 13: he's been working on. He looked way more comfortable.
- 25:18Speaker 1: That's a good point. That's a good point comparing him
- 25:21Speaker 1: to last year. You're right. We were comparing him to
- 25:23Speaker 1: Sam Howe and that was pretty close. But you're right.
- 25:26Speaker 1: If you're looking at progress for the player, you're right
- 25:29Speaker 1: he did. He did look better, looked more comfortable.
- 25:32Speaker 13: Yeah, and he's not not every pass has to be
- 25:35Speaker 13: one hundred miles an hour and you could see it.
- 25:37Speaker 13: He uh oh god, he's got a great arm. But
- 25:43Speaker 13: I like I like his athleticism, you know, play breaks down,
- 25:47Speaker 13: he just gives you something. And Sam how could move too.
- 25:50Speaker 13: But I just think Joe Milton right now in my eyes,
- 25:55Speaker 13: I have him as the number two Julius would I don't.
- 26:00Speaker 13: I don't know how they get him on the field,
- 26:01Speaker 13: but I hope they do. He he looks the part,
- 26:04Speaker 13: he's physical. I just I just him and a Brown
- 26:10Speaker 13: obviously stood out. I think the odd man out. I
- 26:13Speaker 13: know you were talking about him, but right now to
- 26:15Speaker 13: me is mingo. He's had his chance for so many years.
- 26:21Speaker 13: I I kind of like some of these young kids,
- 26:23Speaker 13: even at Anthony Brown, I think his name was. I
- 26:25Speaker 13: liked him too, Anthony Smith.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:30Speaker 12: Oh and and Trigg.
- 26:31Speaker 13: I think that Trigg as a tight end. As big
- 26:34Speaker 13: as he is, he's athletic, He's He's way more athletic
- 26:37Speaker 13: than Ferguson and Schoonmaker. So I would keep an eye
- 26:42Speaker 13: on him. The guy I was disappointed, not not in him,
- 26:46Speaker 13: but the coaching staff is Caleb Downds needs to play.
- 26:50Speaker 6: Uh.
- 26:51Speaker 13: I mean, I know he's a number one draft pick,
- 26:53Speaker 13: but I watched Fernando Mendoza for the Raiders play almost
- 26:57Speaker 13: the whole game.
- 26:58Speaker 12: I mean a whole.
- 26:59Speaker 13: Uh first half and some of the third. I think
- 27:04Speaker 13: he needs to play. I mean, he was out on
- 27:06Speaker 13: the field. What a couple of plays. I don't think
- 27:08Speaker 13: that's enough. I mean, I get him some work. I
- 27:12Speaker 13: know he's uh and everybody's eyes you know he's going
- 27:16Speaker 13: to be this, he's going to be that, But I'm sorry,
- 27:18Speaker 13: he's still a rookie. I want to see him on
- 27:20Speaker 13: the field, and the next game I want to hopefully
- 27:23Speaker 13: I get to see bar him.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that would be That would be one. I
- 27:28Speaker 1: think we all kind of want to see him as well.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Man.
- 27:31Speaker 1: It's it's tough, Rob, because you're right about wanting to
- 27:36Speaker 1: see these guys. But then again, it's been ten full
- 27:40Speaker 1: years and I tweeted this out. Every time a quarterback
- 27:44Speaker 1: took off in that game, all I could think of
- 27:46Speaker 1: was Remo getting like like smashed like in that game.
- 27:51Speaker 1: And of course that changed the course of the franchise
- 27:54Speaker 1: with that injury, right, But I just like, I'm thinking
- 27:56Speaker 1: about that and quarterbacks that play and Caleb downs that
- 28:00Speaker 1: plays and you want to see it until you don't,
- 28:03Speaker 1: you know, and then they like.
- 28:04Speaker 13: You can't be you can't be scared though, you can't
- 28:06Speaker 13: be scared of injury to.
- 28:09Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I mean, like you could.
- 28:11Speaker 13: He's not a veteran though he needs you know, I
- 28:14Speaker 13: don't need him to learn totally on it. Give him
- 28:16Speaker 13: some live reps a little more. I like to see
- 28:18Speaker 13: him play a little more, you know. I know he's
- 28:21Speaker 13: you know, he was really good in college, but this
- 28:23Speaker 13: is a different animal. I like to see him out there.
- 28:26Speaker 3: Uh.
- 28:27Speaker 1: And well they did great signing to Van. Yeah, why
- 28:35Speaker 1: tell me? Tell me why real quick?
- 28:36Speaker 3: Right?
- 28:36Speaker 1: What what do you like the most about it?
- 28:38Speaker 13: Well, he walks in immediately. He's probably your best pass rushing.
- 28:41Speaker 13: It's it's kind of like the Clowney signing last year. Uh,
- 28:45Speaker 13: he's just he's just that's what he does. I mean,
- 28:48Speaker 13: don't get me wrong. He ain't going to play against
- 28:50Speaker 13: the run, but if you could. You know, I watched
- 28:53Speaker 13: an interview. Uh he was on a shot at shop.
- 28:56Speaker 13: But he says, listen, I could roll out of bed
- 28:57Speaker 13: pretty much. Get your uh eight ten sis, I'm a
- 29:01Speaker 13: great teammate.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Is one of those beds out here in Knoxnarden. Let's go.
- 29:05Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm gonna teach these guys and and I'm in,
- 29:08Speaker 13: I'm ready to go. And that's he's absolutely right. I mean,
- 29:11Speaker 13: and he said something really smart. He said, Cowboys got
- 29:14Speaker 13: a great offense. If we're playing with a ten to
- 29:16Speaker 13: thirteen point lead, I'm gonna have a lot of opportunity.
- 29:19Speaker 13: And that's the key. I I just you know, you know,
- 29:22Speaker 13: getting after the quarterback is the most important thing on defense,
- 29:26Speaker 13: and and that's what he does. So yeah, give me
- 29:29Speaker 13: more guys like that. I don't care who they are.
- 29:31Speaker 13: And he seems like he still could do it.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Love it all right, Rob, appreciate it. Good good call. Uh.
- 29:36Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like to hear with
- 29:38Speaker 1: what what you say as well. And it's hard to
- 29:41Speaker 1: criticize what this team is doing right now, some of
- 29:43Speaker 1: the some of the moves and and you know, you
- 29:46Speaker 1: make a good point on the point that von Miller
- 29:49Speaker 1: made is the Cowboys have have constructed an offense that
- 29:54Speaker 1: team players want to go play for, you know, even
- 29:58Speaker 1: defensive guys. I mean, von n knows it. He's been
- 30:01Speaker 1: around a long time and knows what a great offense
- 30:06Speaker 1: can help. You know, with him he played now he
- 30:10Speaker 1: played on the Broncos team, you know, with Peyton Manning
- 30:14Speaker 1: when the Super Bowl year they let the defense led
- 30:17Speaker 1: that team. But you know Peyton Manning had some good
- 30:20Speaker 1: years there as well too, So he understands that. I'm
- 30:22Speaker 1: not trying to compare with Dak and them to to
- 30:26Speaker 1: you know, that offense or whatever. I'm just saying, a
- 30:28Speaker 1: great offense. Defensive players know what it's like to be there,
- 30:32Speaker 1: and you know, it'll just if if it lights a
- 30:37Speaker 1: fire under Rashawn Gary, Donovan Azaraku, those guys have I
- 30:42Speaker 1: guess they they thought we needed some help or you said,
- 30:46Speaker 1: he's the best pass rusher we've got right now, if that,
- 30:50Speaker 1: if that bothers them a little bit, like all right,
- 30:52Speaker 1: then just go out and prove it. I mean, doesn't
- 30:54Speaker 1: really matter. You know who was better that year vonn
- 30:57Speaker 1: ord Ware, I don't know. They both were in the
- 31:00Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. They both held the trophy at some point
- 31:04Speaker 1: in the in that game and the you know, after
- 31:06Speaker 1: the game, So that doesn't really matter so much. So yeah,
- 31:11Speaker 1: it's it seems like a good move and he wants
- 31:14Speaker 1: to be a teacher. Great, hopefully there's some followers. You know,
- 31:18Speaker 1: hopefully there's some guys that are willing to listen to him,
- 31:22Speaker 1: and I don't know why they they wouldn't. All right,
- 31:25Speaker 1: let's go to the next phone line. We have got
- 31:27Speaker 1: Anthony in Miami. The quick what's up?
- 31:34Speaker 14: Before I say what's up?
- 31:35Speaker 8: My guy like to quote the great Seal Pump.
- 31:38Speaker 14: Here's a great to be a Dallas cowboy and sign
- 31:42Speaker 14: Boon Miller.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Do you like the move? Anthony?
- 31:49Speaker 14: Yeah? Man. Let me tell you something. I just heard
- 31:52Speaker 14: whole conversation and I agree with him on a few points,
- 31:55Speaker 14: and I'm gonna say it because I got some depth charts.
- 31:57Speaker 3: I want to get out there. But bon is gonna
- 31:59Speaker 3: be I watched some other Senate sharp interview and.
- 32:03Speaker 14: You get a guy like that super Bowl champion still
- 32:06Speaker 14: got something entertainment. Let me tell you something about thirty
- 32:09Speaker 14: seven years old Frank Bull played and he was a
- 32:11Speaker 14: running back. That was my position.
- 32:13Speaker 3: I played at the school that Camden Broh I went
- 32:16Speaker 3: to Georgia Southern before I told.
- 32:17Speaker 14: My knee, Uh, let me tell you something. He's gonna
- 32:20Speaker 14: get you seven and a half, which is probably two
- 32:22Speaker 14: hundred snaps. He's gonna get seven and a half. I'm
- 32:25Speaker 14: guaranteeing that right now. So I love the signing.
- 32:28Speaker 3: And the leadership.
- 32:29Speaker 14: He, like you said, he was the best friend, mentor
- 32:32Speaker 14: and teammate on all of the teams. She was gonna
- 32:35Speaker 14: he said that out of his mind. So who am
- 32:37Speaker 14: I not to believe. So what he can do and
- 32:39Speaker 14: how he can influence these guys, that's just me thinking
- 32:42Speaker 14: that we need somebody like that with the young past
- 32:45Speaker 14: Russus deaf. Yet now for the death charts. He three
- 32:50Speaker 14: real quick and I'm done. Dak Prescott, Sam Howell, Joe
- 32:55Speaker 14: Milton running back, Javonte Malade, David and Jayden blue wide receivers,
- 33:03Speaker 14: And I posted this nick on y'all's white Blue and
- 33:06Speaker 14: White sprimit So I already had this down and people
- 33:08Speaker 14: who know know I had City picked, Flinoy, Turk, Camden Brown,
- 33:16Speaker 14: Anthony Smith, all that other stuff. Scaled all of them up.
- 33:18Speaker 14: Bets they ain't been doing it. Me gonna get rid of,
- 33:21Speaker 14: let them, let them go.
- 33:22Speaker 3: So that's all I wanted to say.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Miss talking to you, brother, all right, thank you, thanks
- 33:27Speaker 1: for the call, Anthony, appreciate that.
- 33:31Speaker 3: You know.
- 33:32Speaker 1: I that's that's an interesting group of wide receivers because
- 33:41Speaker 1: Flinoy is still young. He's good, he's really good receiver.
- 33:45Speaker 1: I think I think he's gonna be there still young.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Obviously Camden Brown and then Anthony Smith.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Hmmm.
- 33:54Speaker 1: You know, I think you you went into this thinking
- 33:57Speaker 1: you're gonna keep Anthony Smith and then maybe another veteran
- 34:00Speaker 1: guy like a Mingo or Valdez Gantling, and then Camden
- 34:04Speaker 1: Brown goes and does what he does. So now Anthony
- 34:07Speaker 1: Smith is could be that that could be battling for
- 34:10Speaker 1: that role. I think right now I probably go with
- 34:14Speaker 1: Mingo and and Brown instead of Smith and Brown right now, surely,
- 34:23Speaker 1: But I you still have to look at what if
- 34:28Speaker 1: you lose a receiver, if you lose if you get
- 34:31Speaker 1: an injury one or two week whatever for CD or pickings,
- 34:35Speaker 1: and you need guys. You know, now, now you're really
- 34:39Speaker 1: thin when you're talking about depth behind it with with
- 34:42Speaker 1: Flinoyd being as young as he is, I mean, I
- 34:46Speaker 1: say that like he's not that much younger than than Mingo.
- 34:50Speaker 1: But but you know, as far as veteran guys go,
- 34:55Speaker 1: I would put Mingo in that group. And I just
- 34:57Speaker 1: say Camden Brown jumped Anthony Smith and all other receivers
- 35:02Speaker 1: because those those two touchdowns, those those weren't good passes,
- 35:09Speaker 1: you know. I mean he's fighting for the ball, he's
- 35:11Speaker 1: using his hands, goes and positions himself to get that
- 35:15Speaker 1: first one, and then the second one was just freak play,
- 35:20Speaker 1: you know. Georgia Southern, Yeah, he played Georgia Southern, had
- 35:22Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns. But this guy was at Auburn. He was
- 35:25Speaker 1: a good player at Auburn. He's he's a he's a
- 35:27Speaker 1: dog and uh, you know, I heard some some interesting
- 35:31Speaker 1: stories about him, just just on his willingness to compete
- 35:38Speaker 1: and and we'll get into that later on. We'll talk
- 35:40Speaker 1: more about Camden Brown. But but he's he's got the mentality,
- 35:44Speaker 1: he's got the right mentality of I'll do what it
- 35:48Speaker 1: takes and and he'll compete at any level, any anything
- 35:51Speaker 1: that they need him to. So I don't know if
- 35:53Speaker 1: he needs to play anymore, he probably will. I think
- 36:00Speaker 1: playing him on special teams would be would be interesting.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I want to see that because that's that's gonna be
- 36:06Speaker 1: the difference of him being on the forty five man
- 36:09Speaker 1: roster and playing against the Giants or just being there
- 36:12Speaker 1: with the T shirt and hat and being inactive for
- 36:14Speaker 1: the game because I think he's going to be on
- 36:16Speaker 1: the team, but just what's his role going to be?
- 36:19Speaker 1: All Right, Irwin in Colorado is next?
- 36:22Speaker 3: Hey? Next? How's it going?
- 36:23Speaker 1: What's up? Man? How are you good?
- 36:25Speaker 5: Good?
- 36:26Speaker 3: Hey?
- 36:27Speaker 15: I just wanted to touch on a couple of things. Man.
- 36:30Speaker 15: Was it refreshing to just kind of watch the defense
- 36:33Speaker 15: the other evening? They were like properly lined up right
- 36:38Speaker 15: off the back. No, you know, confusion didn't look like
- 36:42Speaker 15: and they're tackling was off the chart. I mean, you
- 36:45Speaker 15: clearly tell that Christian Parker really got these guys dialed in,
- 36:52Speaker 15: you know. And and the other thing I heard her
- 36:54Speaker 15: earlier color he was talking about Jayden Blue. I know
- 36:56Speaker 15: you guys were all talking about it. I think the
- 36:58Speaker 15: difference between Jaydon Blue and MafA and Malik Davis Elie
- 37:04Speaker 15: Davis looks like he's a little bit more patient, letting
- 37:06Speaker 15: the plays develop in those holes, getting you know, developed
- 37:10Speaker 15: before he hits them. We're Blue, he just you know,
- 37:13Speaker 15: he uses his speed and he just crashes into things.
- 37:16Speaker 15: Same thing with MafA. He's using his power, you know.
- 37:19Speaker 15: So I kind of wanted to get your thoughts on
- 37:21Speaker 15: on that. And one more thing before you do, just
- 37:24Speaker 15: want to say rest in peace to John Nylan. You know,
- 37:29Speaker 15: growing up watching these guys, I was a young teenager
- 37:33Speaker 15: watching all these players. It's just kind of sad watching
- 37:35Speaker 15: them all just kind of, you know, start to pass away.
- 37:38Speaker 15: I wanted to get your thoughts on that.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, thanks for saying that, Thanks for the call.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Or when I know we have a story on our
- 37:44Speaker 1: website today about about John Nylan and you know, one
- 37:48Speaker 1: of the one of the really good ones that you're
- 37:51Speaker 1: one of the first great offensive linemen that the Cowboys
- 37:55Speaker 1: have have had. There's been you know, thever talk on
- 37:58Speaker 1: you know, he could have a guy that's, you know,
- 38:01Speaker 1: a ring of honor type guy was kind of on
- 38:03Speaker 1: the on the verge there. But but yeah, John john
- 38:06Speaker 1: Nyland was and I can't say that I saw him
- 38:09Speaker 1: play really but but I know this that he's he was.
- 38:12Speaker 1: He paved the way for for a lot of others.
- 38:14Speaker 1: So rest in peace, Uh, obviously for john Nyland. But
- 38:19Speaker 1: you're asking about the running backs, and I thought it
- 38:21Speaker 1: was a good point about Millie Davis with being you know,
- 38:24Speaker 1: being a little patient. H Now, Malik philm Off had
- 38:27Speaker 1: no choice. He couldn't be patient. He got hit in
- 38:30Speaker 1: the backfield a couple of times. The interior offensive line struggled,
- 38:35Speaker 1: and and you know, I thought a lot of their
- 38:37Speaker 1: their runs there. But yeah, Davis Davis just as uh,
- 38:42Speaker 1: he's a step ahead now. I do want to see
- 38:48Speaker 1: all of them with with I mean, I wish there
- 38:51Speaker 1: was a way to see him with the first team
- 38:52Speaker 1: offensive line, like I think against the Saints practice, I
- 38:56Speaker 1: would probably put Blue out there and out of Javonte Williams.
- 39:02Speaker 1: I just need to see because if this guy's got anything,
- 39:06Speaker 1: then let's give him the best opportunity to show it.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Because he's got that speed, Let's see what happens if
- 39:12Speaker 1: he's running behind really good, you know, offensive lineman and
- 39:17Speaker 1: so this won't be their best opportunity to do that
- 39:20Speaker 1: or let MafA get some turns in there. So I'm
- 39:26Speaker 1: not giving up on Blue and MafA, but I think
- 39:29Speaker 1: from what we see, we see more out of out
- 39:30Speaker 1: of Milieu Davis there for sure. All Right, we're gonna
- 39:32Speaker 1: have to take one more break. We'll be right back
- 39:35Speaker 1: after this.

- 40:50Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to Cowboys Storyline. This final segment
- 40:53Speaker 1: brought to you by YETI officially licensed Yetti Cowboy Gary.
- 40:56Speaker 1: You can get on YETI dot com. All right, I
- 40:59Speaker 1: thought Chris had a good point he was bringing up there.
- 41:02Speaker 1: You know, Rob in Vegas was talking about Caleb Downs
- 41:05Speaker 1: needing to play more and and I get it. And
- 41:06Speaker 1: you know who else thinks that? Caleb Downs. I talked
- 41:10Speaker 1: to him walking out of the locker room and h
- 41:14Speaker 1: he said, yeah, super excited all that, but yeah, he
- 41:16Speaker 1: wanted to play, no doubt about it. But Chris was
- 41:21Speaker 1: looking at r VL Rees was picked fifth. I guess
- 41:24Speaker 1: for the Giants. He played twelve snaps for the Giants.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Probably wanted to play a little bit more too. You know,
- 41:32Speaker 1: it's hard to compare the Mendoza thing because, for one,
- 41:35Speaker 1: quarterbacks is a different position, and two is he the starter?
- 41:40Speaker 1: Like like he he probably won't start for the for
- 41:44Speaker 1: the Raiders in week one, I don't think, I mean,
- 41:49Speaker 1: and and if not, then that's something they got to
- 41:51Speaker 1: figure out. Because I'll tell you this, Caleb Downs is
- 41:52Speaker 1: starting for the Cowboys. He's starting, Jleb Thompson, PJ Lock,
- 41:58Speaker 1: Malie Hooker or all those guys playing. Well cool, guess
- 42:00Speaker 1: who's starting Caleb Downs? What numbers he wearing? Don't know,
- 42:04Speaker 1: but I know he'll be starting. So you can't really
- 42:07Speaker 1: say that about even Mendoza, you know, because if Raiders
- 42:10Speaker 1: want to go win games, I don't know if if
- 42:12Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins isn't the best option for them. Not trying
- 42:15Speaker 1: to get into Raider talk. I'm just trying to say
- 42:17Speaker 1: comparing what rookies need to do, and the situation's a
- 42:19Speaker 1: little different. They've got to be smart with Caleb Downs
- 42:22Speaker 1: and I think that they've they've done that. I don't
- 42:24Speaker 1: know if he plays anymore. All right, let's go to
- 42:28Speaker 1: Josh in Chicago. Josh, what's up? Man?
- 42:31Speaker 12: Hey man? I actually I was on the ESPN, so
- 42:33Speaker 12: I jumped on Raiders depth chart and they actually have
- 42:36Speaker 12: Kirk Cousins starting as the QB right now. Obviously things
- 42:38Speaker 12: can change, but I totally agree with you. I think
- 42:41Speaker 12: Caleb Downs played an off. I don't I wouldn't mind
- 42:43Speaker 12: seeing him one more preseason game, just a few more reps, okay, yeah,
- 42:46Speaker 12: but I think he looked through yeah, just about the same,
- 42:50Speaker 12: you know, six eight. I think he looked really poised.
- 42:52Speaker 12: You could see who was in some throwing lines. You
- 42:54Speaker 12: could see he was diagnosing plays pretty fast. And I mean,
- 42:57Speaker 12: he's smart, right, and that's that's the thing that's best
- 42:59Speaker 12: about him. But I liked that they got him some
- 43:02Speaker 12: reps to get him comfortable, but I wouldn't I wouldn't
- 43:05Speaker 12: have him out there too much longer.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:06Speaker 1: I talked to a scout today and I said, has
- 43:10Speaker 1: Caleb Down been? And that I got cut off and
- 43:13Speaker 1: he finished it with everything we wanted him to be
- 43:16Speaker 1: and more. That's what he said. So so far, so
- 43:19Speaker 1: good on that with Caleb Downs. I, you know, a
- 43:23Speaker 1: lot of the callers today, I agree with everything that's
- 43:25Speaker 1: being said.
- 43:26Speaker 12: One thing I thought was kind of a kind of sketchy,
- 43:28Speaker 12: a little bit iffy from the game that I'd like
- 43:30Speaker 12: to get your take on. Is h watching Brian Anger
- 43:33Speaker 12: run down that punt too. I just think, you know,
- 43:35Speaker 12: Aubrey and Anger need to kind of, you know, in preseason,
- 43:39Speaker 12: they just got to kind of back off. Right In
- 43:41Speaker 12: terms of regular season, if they run after somebody trying
- 43:43Speaker 12: to save a touchdown or whatever, great, But in terms
- 43:45Speaker 12: of preseason, they're just way too important to the long
- 43:47Speaker 12: term success of this team, especially in the field goal
- 43:49Speaker 12: operation to be to be chasing people down. And I'll
- 43:53Speaker 12: get off the air and I'll let you get back
- 43:54Speaker 12: to it, and it's good talking to you.
- 43:56Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, you're you're right. You know, I was actually
- 43:58Speaker 1: thinking about that earlier in the show about how you
- 44:03Speaker 1: know those guys are out there, but it's such an
- 44:05Speaker 1: operational type thing to snap and the whole kick and
- 44:08Speaker 1: punt and all that, so that this is good for
- 44:11Speaker 1: them to get those those reps and do all that.
- 44:13Speaker 1: Now you're right, do you want them going and chasing
- 44:16Speaker 1: down players? No, no, you don't. But kind of goes
- 44:21Speaker 1: into a bigger problem of why you know, I don't.
- 44:24Speaker 1: I really don't want my punter having to run down anybody.
- 44:28Speaker 1: You know, you'd like for it to be tackled there.
- 44:31Speaker 1: But special teams, I've learned a long time ago. You
- 44:36Speaker 1: can't get into you can't worry that much about about
- 44:40Speaker 1: special teams in the preseason because it's just a mixed
- 44:43Speaker 1: bag of guys throwing out that they put here. And well,
- 44:46Speaker 1: this guy's really a starter, but now he's having to
- 44:48Speaker 1: do this, or this guy's not gonna start he's gonna
- 44:50Speaker 1: play the special teams, but now we have to start
- 44:52Speaker 1: him here and he's playing all these snaps. So it's
- 44:55Speaker 1: not the group that you're going to see in that
- 44:58Speaker 1: first game. But still it didn't didn't look good. I mean,
- 45:02Speaker 1: how it's a couple turnover or turnover in a big
- 45:05Speaker 1: punt return. So all right, let's go. Our last caller
- 45:07Speaker 1: is gonna be Lester in Minnesota. Lester, how you doing? Hey,
- 45:12Speaker 1: Good morning, neck morning.
- 45:14Speaker 14: Hey.
- 45:15Speaker 16: The best friend of a dB is a pass rush.
- 45:20Speaker 16: And you know, like I said, I played dB in
- 45:23Speaker 16: high school. So welcome home, Welcome back home, Von Miller.
- 45:27Speaker 16: I mean, DB's get ready, man, because some balls when
- 45:31Speaker 16: coming your way. I have a question, who is our
- 45:35Speaker 16: on our depth?
- 45:36Speaker 6: Try who is our fourth corner?
- 45:38Speaker 16: I got Durant, Revel and Bland in top three, But
- 45:41Speaker 16: who's the fourth and fifth corner? Or has that been
- 45:43Speaker 16: determined yet?
- 45:44Speaker 3: Oh?
- 45:44Speaker 1: It hasn't been determined. And I can't tell you that
- 45:47Speaker 1: that guy's even here right now. Honestly, I don't. I don't.
- 45:51Speaker 1: I don't know if he is. I don't think Carson
- 45:55Speaker 1: played well, and you know, I mean Josh sch Butler
- 46:00Speaker 1: didn't didn't play.
- 46:03Speaker 3: You know.
- 46:04Speaker 16: I thought Bridges looked pretty good. I mean, he looked
- 46:06Speaker 16: pretty good for a couple of plays. I saw him
- 46:09Speaker 16: out there.
- 46:09Speaker 1: He gave up a touchdown and got a pass interference
- 46:13Speaker 1: penalty on the same play. I mean, but that's the
- 46:16Speaker 1: red zone stuff. I'm not saying he wasn't. I'm just saying,
- 46:20Speaker 1: you know, he they all had some issues there a
- 46:22Speaker 1: little bit. I think I think it's a thin It's
- 46:26Speaker 1: a fin position right now for depth because even the
- 46:30Speaker 1: guys you mentioned, I mean, Revel and Bland and Durant,
- 46:33Speaker 1: they're all on the team, but they've got they've got
- 46:36Speaker 1: their share of issues too, so uh, you know, as
- 46:39Speaker 1: far as like proving who they are and still got
- 46:42Speaker 1: got things to prove.
- 46:43Speaker 16: So I don't, well, Ron von Miller should help whoever
- 46:48Speaker 16: the cor the starting corners of von Miller definitely want help.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Definitely.
- 46:54Speaker 16: I love what I saw. I know it just preseason,
- 46:57Speaker 16: but the Cowboys overall give him a B plus for
- 47:02Speaker 16: the preseason game. I really I heard a lot and
- 47:06Speaker 16: I heard you talk about the ry receiver Brown and
- 47:10Speaker 16: what I saw, I mean that that was that was impressive.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 47:14Speaker 16: Yeah, And I agree with a lot of things that
- 47:16Speaker 16: Anthony said and Robin the Vegas and a lot of
- 47:19Speaker 16: people said today they I had a lot to say,
- 47:21Speaker 16: but they stole a lot of what I wanted to say.
- 47:24Speaker 16: So that's all I gotta say, Nick, go Cowboys.
- 47:27Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks, Lester. That's what happens when you
- 47:30Speaker 1: go tenth, you know, and I and I appreciate there's
- 47:32Speaker 1: probably a lot of people that have called that didn't
- 47:34Speaker 1: get end, but yeah, some of these points were already made.
- 47:37Speaker 1: It was good, you know, it was it was just
- 47:39Speaker 1: a good first start, that's all. Was good. Good first start.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Go out there, get some things done, get some things
- 47:43Speaker 1: accomplished like they did, and then you know, they can
- 47:46Speaker 1: build off of that. But uh, obviously the big news
- 47:49Speaker 1: today is the is the you know, the signing that
- 47:52Speaker 1: they will have with von Miller, Von Miller Will Will
- 47:54Speaker 1: you know, we'll be on the team and and and
- 47:56Speaker 1: where does he fit what's his role still to be determined,
- 47:59Speaker 1: But he's a guy, he's done it. He's done it
- 48:01Speaker 1: at the highest level. He'll be in the Hall of Fame.
- 48:04Speaker 1: Uh when it's time for him to retire, and you know,
- 48:07Speaker 1: five years, probably five years right after that, I could
- 48:10Speaker 1: see him being first ballot guy. So we'll see what
- 48:13Speaker 1: he's got for this team. But obviously a good signing
- 48:17Speaker 1: and one that you know, kind of shows the cowboys.
- 48:20Speaker 1: You know, I don't I don't want to throw in
- 48:21Speaker 1: all in and all that kind of stuff, but they're
- 48:23Speaker 1: they're going for they're they're going for it. They're they're
- 48:26Speaker 1: they're trying to do everything they can to kind of
- 48:28Speaker 1: get this thing to the next level. All Right, guys,
- 48:30Speaker 1: great show, appreciate the calls. We'll be back to do
- 48:33Speaker 1: it again Wednesday and wrap up that UH Saints practice.
- 48:35Speaker 1: It will be our final show out here at training camp.
- 48:38Speaker 1: So for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Heatman. We'll see you
- 48:40Speaker 1: next time on Cowboys Storyline.
- 48:43Speaker 2: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 48:46Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
