• 0:52
  Speaker 3: is kind of you guys know what we're doing, how
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: we're doing it. Got the text line here eight one
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: seven two nine zero three two nine eight. I promise
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I will get some text but I definitely have a
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: preference to the calls because the calls. Calls are front.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I get to talk with you guys and kind of
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: go back and forth, and so I could get to
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: some storylines. They're really at this point in the morning,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: we need to see how the guys are gonna practice
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: for the injury. Uh, the injured players like we've been
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: monitoring for the last week and a half now, Tyler Smith,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis, uh, Donovan Wilson, those guys right there. I
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: think that they're they're gonna have a chance to practice
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: this week or Wednesday, starting Wednesday, maybe Thursday. But if
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you can get a couple of practices in and you
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: keep progressing, I think they have a chance to play
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: in the game. Uh. And then the Cowboys have some
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: decisions to make on what happens with the roster. We
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: can talk about that. We talked about some yesterday. We
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: can talk about that. I want to hear from you guys.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna start this thing off like we have
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: been starting it off here lately. Uh, Joe from Stanford,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: you're kind of the number one guy. You're you're the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: first one. You're like leadoff batter here almost every every week,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: every day.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure excited about being able to talk to
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: you every day. Nick, I'm really enjoying this, man, This.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Is this is fun. When you played did you play baseball?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Were you like the leadoff better? I mean, are you?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Are you like the first guy there, I.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Believe it or not. I never got to play baseball
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: when I was a kid. I always wish I would have.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I was just a football guy.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't really play baseball myself anyway. All right, Joe,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Well, A couple of things. First, it looks like le
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Collins is available. I've been tracking the discussion on that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: A lot of people think we should kick the tires.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I'm of the opinion that we probably should just leave
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: him be.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: I think we saw that something was going on with
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: him and that's why he left. And and if the Bengals,
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: who couldn't block a soul this last week wedding, go,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: then I think we pretty much know the answer.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: To that question.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: The other thing is, I'm seeing where the NFL PA
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: executive president or whoever is talking about the turf thing.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: So I don't know enough about the turf that these
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: guys play on. You know, they're saying now that they
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: think everybody should play on grass, which I don't think
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: is a bad idea. Understand the cost and all that stuff,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: But you see these turf fields every week, what do
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: you think?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Well, thanks for the call, Joe, I mean I can
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: say that I see the turf fields. I I don't
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: think I've been tackled on them. I don't think. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: so you know that that that's a part of it
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: as well. I mean it's also it's it's one thing
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: on just the contact, uh and how much give that
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the that the turf has and grass has and and
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I know that there's been studies on them, I haven't
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: seen them. It feels like there are more injuries like
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: that to to to the players on on turf, But
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know, honestly, I can't. I can't tell you
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the reason on on why you know, certain injuries happen
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the way they do. I've seen guys that, for the
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Cowboys have have an achilles injury at oxgn Art in
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: grass just just stretching. So there there's no rhyme or
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: reason to it as far as I've seen now. And
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: if the NFLPA is getting involved in and then they
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: have the studies, yeah, I mean that they would know
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: more than me and then ask for grass, I mean
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: on all stadiums. I mean that's not easy. I mean
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I think Arizona does it with with grass on an
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: indoor stadium and they kind of like wheel in a tray,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: but uh, it wouldn't be the easiest thing in the world.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: And again I'd be lying if I said that that
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I know the answer to that and one thing or another. Well,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: first part of the question kind of I think you
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: answered it yourself with with Lael. I mean, I don't
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: think that's kind of the route that that they're gonna
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: go right now. I don't think they're going to get
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a veteran uh in here at this point. I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: that they like what they've seen so far. And you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: as long as tirre and keeps keeps playing uh the
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: way he is right now and hell wise, I think
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: he's he's okay, and then you know you have well,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: let's go you have awesome Richards. I think as it
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: stands right now, they're probably going to go with what
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: they've got. All right, let's go to Gordon in Rhode Island,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: New caller, I think Gordon and Rhode Island.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, Sarah, a great, great show.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Nick, what's up man?
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: A fabulous job, fabulous job.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate that what is going on in
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Rhode Island. World.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: We got a little bit of a storm coming, but
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: the Patriots lost, so that made it nice and funny.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I bet are you that guy, Gordon? Are you that
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: guy like at work, like when you go in there,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: because I'm sure there's a lot of Patriot fans because
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: when we go to New England, we stay in Providence,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: so there's got to be a ton of Patriot fans.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Are you're that guy that walked in there? Like, Oh,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: how'd your team do? Yeah?
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, let me let it Chris story. So I used
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: to be a chef and I used to work as
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: the Radison in Milford, Massachusetts, and the Patriots used to
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: stay at that hotel every every home game, and I
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: can't stand them guys.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Man, Okay, okay, okay, okay. I thought you were going
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: to go with some kind of like poison the food
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: type style. Okay, good, I wish I could have all right,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: all right, Gordon, what do you got?
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: So?
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: I want to give a specially shout out man to
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Tank Lawrence And let me tell you why. Michael Parsons
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: for the last two years has become the face of
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: that defense and it would be very easy for Tank
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: to be salty being his feelings be a distraction and
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: this dude's buying in man. I think this team is
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: a little bit different this year, and I'm loving I'm
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: loving what I'm seeing. And I don't understand some of
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: our Cowboys fans got an issue with the offense. As
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: long as we don't lose, keep on winning.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I appreciate it. Thanks, thanks for the call, Gordon,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: And you're right, thank you. Yeah, Tank, You're not wrong there.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I mean Tank, Tank is a guy that has been
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the leader of this defense and in a way he
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: probably still is. I mean, you know, it's not just
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: about that the best guy that runs around and makes
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: all all the plays because because Tank, you know, I
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: was really proud of the fact that that Tank made
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl last year. I think he had five sacks,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: six sacks, But it wasn't about that, and that's not
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: the way he plays all the time. Then he's a
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: really good run stopper. I like the fact that that
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: the voters for the Pro Bowl saw that that they
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: can see that this guy can make plays in different ways.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: And uh and I have a stat for that later
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: if we get to that. I want to kind of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: to talk about, you know, the the hidden stats. But
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: you're right, Tank, Tank's a guy that that is buying
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: in and and Micah gets a lot of the credit,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: and rightfully so. Micah makes a lot of plays the
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: plays that the other guys are making. If you go
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: look at the tape, Micah is the one that kind
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: of ignites it all. But I think everyone sees it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Everyone's on the same page. And right now, you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: you keep shutting people out and there's not gonna be
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: any problems with anyone. All right, let's look at third.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: We got a third caller here. We got Eric in
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Orange County, California. Eric, Good morning, pretty early over there.
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, eight o'clock, so it's good time now. I just
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: had a quick question on I know you guys are
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: onto the Jets now, but I had a question from
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: last week's game.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And we can go back, We'll go back, we can
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: go back a little bit there. I'm fine revisiting.
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And I mean, excuse my ignorance, but I was
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: just wondering, like, because you know how when Daniel Jones
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: ran and Micah got him before he passed the line
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: of scrimmage, why didn't Why wasn't that considered a sack
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: because he ran? Or that was really my question?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Wait, wait, hold on, Oh, the not the interception by Gilmour.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: You're not talking about that, No, you're talking about with
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the ball. The ball I think was on the ground.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: That was before the blockfield goal, right, the ball was
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: on the ground. Is that what happened?
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and he started running and Michah grabbed him and
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: tackled him before he passed the line of scrimmage. But
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: it wasn't considered.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that I believe the way that they call that,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: and I maybe they've changed the name there, but it's
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: usually called an aborted play when there's a fumble on
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the ground like that, not not considered to pass that
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: because he's never he's never tried to pass. The ball's
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: on the ground, he picks it up and he's running.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: There's never thought looking down the field to try to
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: throw the football. It's different when the guy has been
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: looking to throw. He's standing there, he's standing there, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: then he's like, all right, I got to take off
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: a run and he gets tripped from behind or whatever
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: behind the line of scrimmage. That's a sack because he
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: was attempting to pass at some point in the play.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: But that when the ball's on the ground like that,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: they don't call that a sack. And if there's anyone
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: that would that would be lobbying for that, it would
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: be Michael Parsons. I'm sure Michael Carsons would be like, Hey,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: we need to change that rule because Michael Parsons is
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: about getting sacks and he should be. But but I
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: think I don't. I think that's the way that that
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: rule went. I thought you were talking about the play
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: where he's running on the sideline and that. I'll be honest,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the press box is pretty far up there. I mean,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: it's one of the highest press boxes in the league,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and you're way away from everything. That's the That's the
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: longest I've ever gone on watching football and realized that
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: there was an interception. I didn't know there was an interception.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, what's going on? I thought there was
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: a fight. I was like, what's happening down here? Why
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: is everyone? Because I thought Micah was going to get
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: called for hitting Daniel Jones out of bounds. Usually when
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: you do that to the quarterback on their sideline, you
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: get a flag. I thought that was going to be
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the case. I didn't really realize that he threw it,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: and I definitely didn't think he had an interception, So
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I was a little I was a little confused on
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: that when when when Gilmore came up with the ball.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: But anyways, that's that was that. Yeah, I had no mind.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It's Wednesday. We can revisit games like that. Of course,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: if the Cowboys lose like that, like by Monday afternoon,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be like moving on. But no, all right,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: let's go look at a text question here. Let's see
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: if I can get a I don't have a name,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: but I have a seven to one four air your
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: code on third and fourth, third and short and fourth
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and short? Do you prefer a heavy package running up
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the middle or jet sweep to turpin? I mean, I
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: think the answer has got to be both. I mean,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: you can't just do it one way all the time,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you know. I mean that you have to you have
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: to mix it up. You can't have tells, you know.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I'm sure. If you guys play poker, sometimes you play
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: a hand, sometimes you fold it the exact same hand.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: It just depends on how it's how it's going, how
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: it's flowing, who the defensive is, what they're playing, what
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: happened the last time on third and short, fourth, and short.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: So I think if you can mix it up, you
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: have to mix up the bag. If Turpin can get
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to the outside on some place and then the next
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: time it's you put Turpin there and then Dak runs
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: it up the middle. So you've got to be able
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: to do both. It's hard for me to say what
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I prefer because I think you have to look it
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: down a distance. You have to look at how the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: game's going, You have to look at all the factors involved.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: All I know is this is the more things you
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: can do on third and one, fourth and one? Can
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: it be pollared? Can it be a turping on the outside?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Can it be da Can you throw it? I don't
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: know if I love that, but can you do it?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Can you throw bubble screens? The more you can do that,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: especially out of a regular offense, the better that this offense.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: I think it is going to be all right. Moving
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: a lot right along. Here we go to Arlington, Virginia.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: John is on the line, John and Arlington, Virginia.
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: Hey, how you doing? Nick? A long time listener and
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: a fan of your articles and stuff like that.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: I'm a YouTuber. My name is DMV Fanatic and I
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: have a question for you. My question is knowing what
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: to Jets like to do as far as bringing for
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: front and dropping seven.
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: Do you have any.
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: Worries about Dallas's I guess efficiency on offense.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I think worries is not the right term. I appreciate
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: the call, John, good luck with your YouTube channel. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's if it's worries. I just
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: think that you know it's the sample size is small.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: We'll see, you know, nothing, nothing is that we've seen
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: from the Cowboys offense right now is normal, like it's
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: not going to be It's not going to be raining.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: I can promise you it was not gonna be raining
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: eight times that they play at home, and probably I
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: don't know three or four, I mean a couple more
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: where you know it won't be raining there. So I'm
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: just saying that right there won't be a factor and
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: forty to nothing or you know what, sixteen to nothing
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: early in the game, twenty three to nothing. I mean,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: it's not going to be lopsided like that. So it
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: is hard to gauge what we've seen so far. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: when do you feel comfortable? I mean it's twenty three
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: to nothing, Yeah, you've got your starters out there, but
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: they're you're not throwing out a whole lot of things
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: that you haven't seen before. So I'm just let me
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: hit the pause button on worrying about any thing. But
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I'm not worried about the offense did just fine. I mean,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I don't understand where any of the negative criticism comes
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: from there they got. I mean, think about this. They
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: got in the red zone. I believe they got the
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: red zone four times. They did not run the ball
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: that first time. The first time they got in there
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: at the six yard line, they threw a pass. They
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: still pass the Turpen Ferguson Turpin, and then they tried
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: to throw another pass and it was incomplete, and then
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: they kicked a field goal. I think they should have
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: run the ball. So what happens to the next three
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: times they get in the red zone? They run the
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: ball Pollard touchdown, Pollard to the outside, They run Turpen touchdown.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: So they ran the football into the end zone for touchdowns.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: That's not something we've seen all the time this team.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: You take away take away those those two touchdowns if
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you want to, they happen. But if you want to
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: take them away, the Cowboys still win the game in
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: my opinion, twenty seven to three. That's what it looks
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: like to me. If you take away those players, give
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: them a field goal if you want no defensive touchdown.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: The way the game played out, the Cowboys win twenty
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: seven to three. I don't have a problem with the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: way the offense moved the ball in the rain and
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: in a game where they obviously things changed there and
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: he had to be a little bit more conservative in
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the second half or really in the last two and
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: a half quarters. Okay, I don't see another Oh yeah,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: you have another caller here, had to move up. We
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: got Ken in New Jersey.
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: Ken, Hey, Nick, what's going on?
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: What's up with you? Man?
• 15:27
  Speaker 13: Hey?
• 15:28
  Speaker 12: Not much is chopping in. Give my two cents here.
• 15:31
  Speaker 12: I think this is another another big week for the
• 15:34
  Speaker 12: Cowboys because a lot of confidence going into this game
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: now with obviously with Rogers out, But it's another another
• 15:41
  Speaker 12: game where the Cowboys they need to stay laser focused
• 15:44
  Speaker 12: because I know you want to know you're you know
• 15:46
  Speaker 12: you're you're kind of a big favorite. But the Cowboys
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: need to remember that every game is important in the NFL,
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: and after last year having to play on a Monday
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: night and then turn around and play a team that
• 15:58
  Speaker 12: just played on Saturday and you had to fly across
• 16:01
  Speaker 12: the entire United States to play that game. You need
• 16:04
  Speaker 12: to realize how important it is to win every game
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: you can. Because the talk's been are they as good
• 16:09
  Speaker 12: as the Niners? Are they as good as the Eagles?
• 16:11
  Speaker 12: Can they win the division? The talk needs to be,
• 16:14
  Speaker 12: you know, can they be a one seed? Because this
• 16:17
  Speaker 12: team's going to make a big run this year. You know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 12: these are the type of games you have to win
• 16:21
  Speaker 12: because when it comes down to January. I mean you
• 16:24
  Speaker 12: see it, year in year out, the higher seed you are,
• 16:27
  Speaker 12: the better chance you have at, you know, making a
• 16:30
  Speaker 12: run of the playoffs. So this is just a game
• 16:32
  Speaker 12: that you need to you know, stay the course, stay focused,
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: and get another win and carry it on into Week three.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you there. Good luck in New
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Jersey there, Ken. I mean, you've been going to probably
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: have Giants fans over here, Jets fans over here. You are
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: going to be doing a lot of a lot of
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: talking for two weeks. And you're right, You're right. You
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: can't overlook anybody. And I don't think that's going to
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: be a problem here's why. Look at the end of
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the game the other day, the end of the game
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: against the the Giants, the Sam Williams and Dante Fowler
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: and Dorin Armstrong and all the bike. Of course, when
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: he's in there, they want to get sacks. They want
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: to be the leader in sacks. They want to annihilate
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: the quarterback every time. There is no letdown when it's
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: forty to nothing, there's no letdown at any point in
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: the game. We saw that happen last year. Your defense
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: is the best thing you do, and they are going
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: to attack until it's time to take the jerseys off
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: and swap them with the next guy after the game.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: That they're not gonna stop. And so that is a
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: good thing. It's a good thing for kind of what
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: you're talking about, that mentality that doesn't ever turn off,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: and that's the best thing you do. So that's a
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: good thing. I don't think this is gonna be any
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: kind of overlooking game. It's the home opener and at
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: and T Stadium, crowd is gonna be going insane. It
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't Aaron Rodgers not gonna be there, and that really
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: won't matter. I don't think that you'll have to worry
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: about that this week. There are weeks when that does happened.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: But I think you got to give McCarthy credit there.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I think he does a really good job of keeping
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: this team focused all the time. So I think they'll
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: be They'll be fine. That's not really an issue for me.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: We do have a text question here about the about
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: the Jets. This is Bryson from Salt Lake, Utah. So
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys are one of four since two thousand and
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: seven versus the Jets. What about this team and this
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: week makes you believe Cowboys will show them to take
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: care of business this weekend with the injury of Rogers. Really,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: what I just said, I mean, that's that's part of it.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I should have read this before because I do think
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: that the way that they approach the game is going
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: to be fun. One and four and since those seven
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: against the Jets, that means nothing to me, just because
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: history matters at times. If everybody's if everything's still the same,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: but one, I mean since two thousand and seven, I
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: mean you probably have you know, the Jets probably have
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: a different quarterback in every one of those games. Cowboys
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: probably have different quarterbacks of alsose games, different head coaches
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: that that really doesn't matter to me right now. I
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: just think what matters is Zach Wilson's gonna have to
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: figure out how to stop this Cowboys defense and figure
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: out ways to get the ball, and the Cowboys are
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: gonna have their hands full with the Jets defensive line
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: as well. All right, Brian and Pennsylvania has been waiting
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Thanks Brian for hanging in there with us.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: Nick? How are you doing?
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Man? Love the show?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Thanks?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: I'm doing well because I saw a great game this weekend.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: You went to the game, did you go?
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: H No, I watch it. I'm up here in Pennsylvania
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: and get this, got it? I only get to see
• 19:32
  Speaker 11: the Philly games up close.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: You Yeah, Well, good luck with that. I mean, that's
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: probably not easy to be wearing the colors in there,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: but I applaud you for doing it.
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: So I have camouflage because I'm from Oklahoma. Oh you,
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: Jalen Hurts. It helps me fly under the radar. So anyways,
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: Michael Parsons is obviously the leader on defense, and the
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: way he approaches the game has elevated the entire defense
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: on offense with all the concerns. Do you think that
• 19:59
  Speaker 11: brand and Cooks was that missing piece coming in, Like
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: all the things he does, the safety blanket that he's
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: become for Dak, and like the way he kind of
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: elevates all these people along with the Texas Coast offense,
• 20:11
  Speaker 11: do you think he is the missing ingredients that DAK
• 20:14
  Speaker 11: needs to actually start having an effective offense consistent.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a that's a good point, good question.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Thanks Brian for for calling in Brandon Cooks on offense.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Cooks and Gilmore have been linked together since, you know,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: because they basically got here almost the same time. They've
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: played together the same you know, both first round picks.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: They've they've played different teams and all that kind of journeymen,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: if you will. But they still have something left and
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: they've come in and they've they've not tried to assert
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: themselves as the leader, but just a leader. And I
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: think that's really really important because this team has established
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: super superstars. But but people look up to Gilmore, they
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: look up to Cooks. So your point about Cooks being
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: a missing piece on offense, I think for for multiple reasons. Yes,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: in the locker room, what he's done kind of with
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Jalen Tolbert, with Gallup with even with CD, all those
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: guys like they respect his game, but he's come in
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: here to just be a part of things now. On
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: the field, he's very unique because he is a He's
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: a speed player, he can stretch the field. He's also
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: a possession guy. When you have a combination of both
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: of that, that's really really important, that's really valuable. So
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I think that he is he is. It's one game,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: but can he be that missing piece? He looks to
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: be that guy as it stands right now, he definitely
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: looks to be that guy. All Right, We're gonna let's
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: go back to the to the phone line here before
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: we take a break. David in Fort Worth. David, what's up?
• 21:43
  Speaker 14: How you doing, sir?
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I'm great, man, How are you doing great?
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
• 21:47
  Speaker 14: Hey, I just wanted to kind of give a shout
• 21:49
  Speaker 14: out to your article and also let you know that
• 21:51
  Speaker 14: it like really kind of pumped me.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Up for this game.
• 21:53
  Speaker 14: Your big picture, like the ten storylines for the for
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: the games coming up, you know you do five.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: For the Jets, the Cowboys.
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: I was reading it and then, man, I thought you
• 22:01
  Speaker 14: made a lot of good points and and I think
• 22:03
  Speaker 14: that as I was as I was reading it, I
• 22:06
  Speaker 14: was thinking about the teams. I'm thinking about how both
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: defenses are pretty stellar. I think that, you know, the
• 22:10
  Speaker 14: Jets are going to really lean on the run game.
• 22:12
  Speaker 14: They have to like a two headed monster back there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 14: I think Cook still has a lot in the tank
• 22:16
  Speaker 14: and kind of like try to make sure that Wilson
• 22:18
  Speaker 14: doesn't have to do too much. But I think he
• 22:20
  Speaker 14: made a good point. I mean, he was a high
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: draft pick.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Maybe he learned some.
• 22:23
  Speaker 14: Stuff under Rogers. Maybe he's going to do better this
• 22:25
  Speaker 14: this U this season or something, you know. So like
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: I'm pretty excited to watch it. And I kind of
• 22:29
  Speaker 14: just wanted to shout out your article man and encourage
• 22:31
  Speaker 14: anybody else to go out and take a read at that,
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: and all the other ones are on the site.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Ye, thank you, So I appreciate you. I appreciate that.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: That's uh, the big picture is one. It's actually something
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: new we're doing this year. It's part it's that it
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: kicks off what we call the ten spot, where there
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: is a every day there is a collection of ten,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: a list of ten.
• 22:50
  Speaker 15: Uh.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: It starts out with ten storylines. Today we have ten
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: X factors in the game. We have memorable moments, ten
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: memorable moments Queen cal Boys and Jets this week, ten
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: big facts, game breakers on game day, all that kind
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: of stuff. But every it just goes down the list
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: the top ten. Everyone loves lists, And so thanks for
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: reading that. And I hope, I hope all the points
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: were good. Three of those points I wrote on my
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: phone at my son's basketball practice last night, So hopefully
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: those were good as well as I keep in an
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: eye on both. All right, the I lost some train
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: of thought on the question there actually, but no about
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: the storylines. Oh about Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson. You know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: sometimes you get humbled. I mean it happens to all players,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: happened to all people. You think one way, I'm the
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: number two pick of the draft, all this stuff, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: then it didn't work out and you get not only
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: do you get benched for Mike White, but you also
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: then the next year they're like, all right, we're gonna
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: go get Aaron Rodgers and everyone's all excited about it,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: and he's but what it looked like from my solid
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: hard knocks and all that. He can't ever tell everything,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: But it looked like he kind of embraced the role.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Have sure he learned a lot and he's still will
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: I'm Aaron Rodgers still going to be there, so he's
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: going to learn a lot there. And sometimes just getting humbled,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: you can kind of step back a little bit. Maybe
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: that happens with Trey Lance, who has picked right after
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: him as well. Maybe that sort of happens for him.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Just kind of getting a change of scenery and a
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: kind of change in the expectations can kind kind of
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: reset things a little bit for you. All Right, we're
• 24:21

• 27:25
  Speaker 6: like three or four minutes left in the game, came
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: down from up in the boots and came down to
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: the sidelines. He said he was more passionate there on
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: the sidelines than he was up and like being up
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: in the boot calling the place. I've never seen a
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: coach like up in the boots. You know, I know
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: the game's over, you know, but it's just awesome. This
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: team is just going to be special. Yeah, I mean,
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: you can just tell them how they get along and
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: just makes me happy. Man, I'm forty nine years old.
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: You know, it's been a while.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm right there with you, Chris. I appreciate that.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: At it and every player on defense that we've talked
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: to in the last two years or so, they love
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Dan Quinn. I mean were three years. I guess they
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: love him. They just love this guy and everything that
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: he is because he is a player's coach. So you
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: know what, it's not just about the final three minutes
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: in the game. It's you gotta remember when coaches I
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: mean they pour everything out every single every single week.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: But it's like Wednesday night too, I mean Tuesday night,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Wednesday and Thursday night. They're doing everything they can to
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: get this win. So he probably couldn't wait to get
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: down there, get his hands on those guys and just
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: congratulate them. I mean, a shutout in the week one
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: and to do it the way they did it. I mean,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I'm looking, I gotta look at this with when it
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: comes to pressures, but I counted this up. The Cowboys
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: have thirty three pressures in the game. The other night,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Daniel Jones threw thirty passes. Now, he also was sacked
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: seven times, so probably what they're doing is you get
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: more than one pressure on one play because there were
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: some meeting at the quarterback going on here. But thirty
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: three pressures and you threw the ball thirty seven times,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: That's that's a lot. That's a lot. I mean, Micah
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Parsons was six. But I mean here's my favorite stat line.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Dante Faller. Okay, zero tackles, zero sacks. I didn't didn't
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: do much, huh yeah, four quarterback pressures, two pass deflections
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage. Dante faler. I mean, that's
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: that right there. Just signalizes how tough that it's going
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: to be to play this team, because they're gonna come
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: at you from the start to the finish, with every
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: guy that they've got is going to make a difference.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: I think that that's really really good to have. All Right,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: we have man a lot of text line questions here.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Let's go with Steve Williams in Charlotte, North Carolina. He says,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: do you remember the player that played for us you
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: called the diaper years ago? Yeah, Romo's I'm trying to
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: look around and see in this awesome studio if we
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: have a picture of him. We don't in this one,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: but Tony Romo, Yeah, he was the guy. It was
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen. That was the year. I was like, oh,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: he's the diaper lost of the year my son was born,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: so it's kind of thinking like that a little bit more.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: But the diaper covers up the crap that you don't
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: want to see, that you don't want to smell. Now
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: you think everything's good because the diaper's on and that's
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Tony Romo. But take the diaper away and see how
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: crappy and smelly it really looks. That's what we found
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: out in twenty fifteen. So Tony Romo has always been
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: the diaper in my opinion. From that, all right, how
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: about from three two five number? He said, if we
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: toast other defenses, the offensive scheme should be called Texas Toast.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Your show needs to be an hour long, Well, it
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: was supposed to be thirty minutes. We push it to
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: forty five. So yeah, I mean, I take as much
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: time as I can. It all comes down if you
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: guys call and send these text messages. Yeah, I can
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: go all day long, but we don't have a lot
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: of time slots here because we do have so many
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: shows here. But yeah, I love I love doing that
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Texas Toast. Yeah. I think of a Jasmine Marshall in
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: the back there. That's her her favorite thing as well,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: a Texas toast. My daughter loves to eat Texas toast too,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's pretty that's pretty awesome. But yeah, if
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: you keep doing that, you can call offense whatever you want.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Bo in Memphis, Tennessee, are we concerned with the offense?
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: Now?
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Pressure in Dak's face not a ton of separation from receivers.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: He also was inaccurate time. Do we blame this on
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: the weather or is there calls from concern. I'm not
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: concerned about that. I really, I really don't the weather.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: It was a factor, There's no doubt about it. They
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: still scored, you know, twenty seven points. They moved the ball,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: they ran the ball at times. I'm not as worried
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: right now. Let's see, let's make this a trend. Let's
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: see what what happens. Like I said before, that game
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: was really nothing. I mean that that game was not
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: normal for what things are going to be this season.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: So let's wait and see on any of that and
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: be concerned. But from what I saw, I mean, I
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: thought it was some really good things on offense. Go
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: back to the callers here, Al and Merkele Texas. Al.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 32:04
  Speaker 17: Hey, how you doing?
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Nick?
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I'm great? How are you?
• 32:07
  Speaker 17: I'm doing great? This is a this is an awesome day.
• 32:10
  Speaker 17: I you just read my text I believe before I.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Got on the call, which one was yours Texas coach?
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Oh that's you? Okay? Perfect? Perfect?
• 32:19
  Speaker 17: Yeah, all right, I really don't have a question. I'm
• 32:21
  Speaker 17: just going to make a couple of comments. First of all,
• 32:24
  Speaker 17: this show is awesome. Your knowledge about the cowboys is
• 32:27
  Speaker 17: so great. Not trying to blow smoke, but you really
• 32:31
  Speaker 17: are knowledgeable and I love the show. And you really
• 32:34
  Speaker 17: can tell how much you're joy because you just you
• 32:37
  Speaker 17: just but you're you're litting up your face. It's like
• 32:40
  Speaker 17: you're so excited.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:41
  Speaker 17: And the second thing, the second thing is, I don't
• 32:46
  Speaker 17: know if you're familiar, you probably are, but you remember
• 32:49
  Speaker 17: Preston Pearson fact in the day that Roger would go
• 32:53
  Speaker 17: to all the time.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, twenty six Yeah, Preston person for sure.
• 32:57
  Speaker 17: Who do you think would be that Phil position today?
• 33:00
  Speaker 17: For Dak And one more comment. I'll get off here
• 33:04
  Speaker 17: so I'll let other people get on there. But this
• 33:05
  Speaker 17: show needs to be an hour. Thirty minutes is not
• 33:08
  Speaker 17: as long enough for this show. It really needs to
• 33:10
  Speaker 17: be an hour to have because there's such a great
• 33:12
  Speaker 17: show and it's just going to keep on growing. Congratulations, Dick.
• 33:16
  Speaker 17: I really enjoyed listening to you, and thank you for
• 33:18
  Speaker 17: taking my call.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Thanks guys, thank you. I appreciate that I said the guys,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: but I mean, I've had a lot of people say
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: that and it means a lot. It really does. Like
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I've said before, this is y'all's show. I just want
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: to I just want to drive the bus with you guys.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Thirty minutes is yeah, that's not long enough, but there'll
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: be some days when that might have to happen just
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: because of the way McCarthy's schedule is and it changes
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: some with his press conference. But we're gonna try to
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: go forty five minutes, and most shows are forty five minutes.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: We don't really have any hour shows for the podcast,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: so yeah, I could go all day long with it,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: and I'm having fun. This is really really you know,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: this is just is just the most enjoyable part of
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the day. I love doing it. So all right, Preston Pearson,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: you know basically what you know you're saying, a running
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: back that can do a little bit of everything, can
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: catch the ball out of the backfield and and and
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: be that that guy. I don't know if you know
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: they've had players like that in the in the past.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Just just just versatile running backs, you know that don't
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: have to be the number one guy because you have
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: a door said whatever. Ron Springs was that guy just
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit after him. That's just kind of the
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: way Landry used him. But but versatile backs that can
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: come in and do things are always important.
• 34:33
  Speaker 16: You know.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I think duce Van will actually get into that role
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: because I think when he plays more, you'll see some
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: some passes out of the backfield with him. All Right,
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: that's I think we're free on the line right now.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: We have some questions though. Cicero up Church from Richmond, Virginia,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: I said, thanks for talking me off the LEDs in
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: the forty nine or playoff game. The defense did a
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: great job, offense was not good. I felt the same
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: after the Giants game because of your comments. Now I
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: look at the offense in a different way. You're the best.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate that. Not the best, but thank
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: you so much. You know, it's not about talking people
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: off the leg It's just it's just looking at it
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: in a different way and looking I mean, and the
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: thing about that, it's important because everyone likes to look
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: at the good when there is some bad. But sometimes
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: you have to look at it both ways. You have
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: to look at it like we talked about the other day,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: all those plays that that happened, and you're like, man,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: if the Cowboys would have won this game or gone
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: to the super Bowl, this play or this player this play,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: and that's true probably, but there's also four or five
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: plays that that happened in games that they did win
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: that you're like, I don't even think about that. You
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: just gloss over it. So you have to look at
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: if you look at it both ways like that, it's
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: it's I think it's a lot easier to do that,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: all right, Jonathan, and Virginia number ten on your list.
• 35:49
  Speaker 18: Hey, Jonathan, I wanted to say congratulations on the show.
• 35:53
  Speaker 18: The Cowboys definitely needed a show like this to get
• 35:55
  Speaker 18: our frustrations out. Living in Virginia, I felt like sometimes
• 35:58
  Speaker 18: I didn't have an outlet.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: So thank you, You're welcome, thank you.
• 36:01
  Speaker 18: And my one little blast from the past moment I
• 36:05
  Speaker 18: wanted to say really quick was do you remember when
• 36:07
  Speaker 18: we had two Roy Williams on the roster? My mistaken
• 36:10
  Speaker 18: was his name not Roy, But I think we had
• 36:11
  Speaker 18: a receiver.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: And the safety.
• 36:13
  Speaker 17: I think that's kind of interesting.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and the fact and you're not from here,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: but the fact that one of them is from Oklahoma,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: one of them is from Texas. That's one of the
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: biggest rival rivalries that there is in sports. And yeah,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: them playing together at the same time, one receiver, one safety. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: definitely remember both of them.
• 36:33
  Speaker 18: Well, one thing about I wanted to ask you about
• 36:35
  Speaker 18: what your take is the one the deaths upcoming game
• 36:38
  Speaker 18: is do you think that our defense can actually make
• 36:41
  Speaker 18: it to where we were forcing Wilson to beat us?
• 36:45
  Speaker 17: And also do you think you could.
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: Also get potentially exposed.
• 36:48
  Speaker 18: With the backfield of Bryce Hall and Dalvin Cook. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 18: wanted to hear your talk.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think thanks for the call, Jonathan.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: I think that the way that the game plays out
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: is gonna kind of will factor into that. You know,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: if if if the Jets get off to a good start,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: that's going to be good for them for a couple
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: of reasons. Number one, it will allow them to play
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: their offense and continue to run the football, and they
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: have two guys that can do it and two guys
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: that can not only do it, but catch out of
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: the backfield. It'll also get Zach, you know, Wilson, It'll
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: it'll get him some some confidence bruin, which which I
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: think he needs. I mean, I'm sure that he's feeling
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: good right now after the game, but against this defense,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I think that that that's so that's going to be
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: really important for both sides of the ball to see
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: you kind of can strike first, because I think the
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Jets can play the way they want to play. The
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: last thing any quarterback wants is to be standing there
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: having to throw a lot and let this pass for
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: us to just go with them. So how the game
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: goes down will probably be the most important part of that.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Those two runners are their quality to them and there's
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: no doubt about it. That's a great duo of running
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: backs in this league. So be fun to watch. There's
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Baskon is the next caller? Sebastian from Savannah, Georgia. What's up?
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: That's the home of Patrick Walker.
• 38:07
  Speaker 19: Oh yeah, yeah, you doing, mister.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: E I'm good man, how are you?
• 38:11
  Speaker 19: I'm loving this show. I mean, you've grown so much,
• 38:14
  Speaker 19: Stevens since just own camp you guys, and you guys
• 38:17
  Speaker 19: put together some of the best games, and Leven out
• 38:19
  Speaker 19: of the show. I called because I'm just taking this
• 38:23
  Speaker 19: season one game at a time. This is on the
• 38:25
  Speaker 19: first time in a lot of time that I've been
• 38:27
  Speaker 19: very excited to see a season because of a small
• 38:30
  Speaker 19: issue that I've had with Keithan Kellen Morris to play product,
• 38:32
  Speaker 19: I always felt like Dad needed more time to develop
• 38:35
  Speaker 19: and he needed someone experience ogram so on loving that
• 38:37
  Speaker 19: we began to my ghost McCarthy era this past for
• 38:41
  Speaker 19: the first time you got to see Dad runs the
• 38:44
  Speaker 19: sideline talking experience veteran coach and be like, hey, you know,
• 38:47
  Speaker 19: wishould do.
• 38:47
  Speaker 20: Nice for reputation, but I really wanted to exercise the
• 38:51
  Speaker 20: ghost of playoffs past man. I wanted to play Aaron
• 38:53
  Speaker 20: Rodgers so bad.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, well I'll.
• 38:58
  Speaker 19: Tell you that I have new question.
• 39:00
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and for our goals, well, if all those goals, well.
• 39:04
  Speaker 19: Obviously we're gonna have a record. We've always had to
• 39:06
  Speaker 19: be some record on a Mike McCarthy, what would you
• 39:09
  Speaker 19: do if we actually jot into that NFC Championship game
• 39:13
  Speaker 19: and we want to go past that?
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Sebastian, you just said no, no, no, you you called.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: The first thing you said was I'm loving this. I'm
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: taking it one game at a time. And now you're
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: in the US Championship game.
• 39:28
  Speaker 20: We make it past the second round and we finally
• 39:30
  Speaker 20: may get over the hurdles, because every year we got
• 39:32
  Speaker 20: over a small and smaller hurdles. We finally over what
• 39:35
  Speaker 20: would you personally, I'm thinking you personally because you always
• 39:38
  Speaker 20: say I want to see an NF champion, right, what
• 39:41
  Speaker 20: would you?
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Man?

  Speaker 3: I I love it. Thanks for the call, man, because
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: because that's what I do too. Like like as a fan,
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: I do the same thing for my Arkansas razorback say
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get upset. Now you get mad. It
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter. This game doesn't matter. And I find myself
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I've all, aready broke the remote control in the first
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: minute of the game or what? I do that all
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: the time. I try to not, you know, just just
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: calm down whatever, just like you did.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: You know.

• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I love it. That's that's you can't help it, because
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, the excitement is there, and it should be there.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: I think you know, smell the roses, have have fun.

  Speaker 3: What would happen if they make to the championship game.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know because I've never been there, but it's
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: gonna be epic for sure. All right, Mark in Florida,
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: what's up? Mark?
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: Nick, I don't want to date myself, but I go
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: back to our offensive line of Dave Manders, Blaine Knight,
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: john Nyland, Ralph Neely, Tony Listio. So I don't want
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: to scare you, but.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're taking it back to the old school,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: right there. That's all right, that's okay.
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: This week obviously, uh heavy dose in the run. I
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: think the most important players obviously they're all important, but
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: the most important players just coming sun. They're going to
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: be all linebackers filling those holes and stopping this run
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: because I don't think they're going to put the game
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: in this kid's hands. I think they're going to go
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: with what works for them, and I think it's going
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: to be about vander Esh.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right. That's that is
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: exactly right, and that's kind of what I said before,
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: but not not about linebackers. So you're you're right about
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: that mark that that's that's what's going to help the
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: help the Cowboys get to the game the way they
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: wanted to. And it's going to be those linebackers. How
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: do they stop there? How it has a defensive line front.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's gonna be a fun game, it really is.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be a ton of of intensity
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: the atmosphere. I just have this feeling it's gonna be
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: electric the way the Jets won that game, and and
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: they're gonna be fired up because this is a big
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: this is a big moment that you know, everyone kind
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: of thought, hey, we can lean on Aaron Rodgers where
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: we're legit now because we have Aaron Rodgers. And they
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: should have felt that way because he deserves that. But
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, it went down like that.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: They were stunned. They couldn't even function. They figured out
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: how to win. They're gonna be flying into this game,
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: you know, and a lot of guys haven't even played
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: at this stadium before, so for them to come in,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: they haven't played here since twenty fifteen, so none of
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: the Jets players, I'm sure, unless they were on different teams,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: so it is an atmosphere for them, is gonna be
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: great for the Cowboys, it's gonna be electric. I mean,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: you know, it was last week of Fluke. We're gonna
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: find out so really really really exciting game. Let's go
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: one more calling before we have to wrap up the show.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Johnny in Richfield, South Carolina. I don't remember you calling before,
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: so I love having you on the show. Johnny, South Carolina.
• 43:01
  Speaker 13: Hey man, how you doing, Nick?
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: We picked Suey.
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: There?
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, sir? Oh yeah, okay, well yeah, you
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: can call all day long. What's up? Man?
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 43:12
  Speaker 13: Hey, I tell you what, as much as I loved
• 43:14
  Speaker 13: what Dallas did the other night, everybody needs to pump
• 43:17
  Speaker 13: the brakes. And you know, Dallas takes the Jets lightly
• 43:22
  Speaker 13: at their own peril, and I don't think the team will,
• 43:25
  Speaker 13: but I mean the fantasy to understand. That's a hell
• 43:28
  Speaker 13: of a defense they've got there, and I'm not really
• 43:32
  Speaker 13: upset of it. I don't understand how people are upset
• 43:34
  Speaker 13: about the offense, and I guess it's people who either
• 43:37
  Speaker 13: ain't never played the game, or never coach it. But
• 43:39
  Speaker 13: when you're playing in a monsoon like that, Yes.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: He did.
• 43:45
  Speaker 13: I mean, Dak Prescott did a hell of a job
• 43:48
  Speaker 13: just keeping the boat going in the right direction and
• 43:53
  Speaker 13: not turning the ball over like Daniel Jones. I mean,
• 43:56
  Speaker 13: it would have been really easy for that to happen.
• 43:58
  Speaker 13: But yeah, if he'd have had that, you know, if
• 44:02
  Speaker 13: he'd have had a night like Daniel Jones or like
• 44:04
  Speaker 13: the kid from Buffalo, you'd be pasted all over every
• 44:08
  Speaker 13: newspaper in America.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you're right.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you win forty.
• 44:12
  Speaker 13: To nothing and don't do anything wrong and now something's
• 44:15
  Speaker 13: wrong with the offense, I don't understand that.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: You're you're right, You're you're right with that. I appreciate
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: your call and and your honesty there that I agree
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: or I agree with you. I just think we're nitpicking here.
• 44:29
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: I'll say this though, Like the first drive of the game,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: they got down there right the first down at the six,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Dak throws it up there to Ferguson. It got kind
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: of tipped around a little bit, you know, throw that
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: interception on your first drive of the season into the
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: end zone, and yeah, we're talking about that a lot
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: regardless of what happens in the game. So it wasn't
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: almost an interception, but you know, you're kind of you're
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: thrown into double coverage to Jake Ferguson, who hasn't proven
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: that he could go and and just beat single coverage
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: all the time, much less double. Nothing against Jake Ferguson.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be great, but forcing it to
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: him down on the first and goal with the six
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: is not the play I like to see there. So
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: all I'm saying is is there were a couple of
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: times you threw it in there and you kind of
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: got lucky and it didn't get interceptions, so you gotta
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: be careful there. But I thought Dak played a great
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: game considering the circumstances, considering everything involved, and in this saying,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: is only gonna get better. I like what I saw
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: on the offense, love what I see on the defense,
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Love what I see on the special teams. If you
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: love you know, if you like one side and love
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: the other two, You're gonna win a lot of football
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: games this year. It's gonna be fun to watch. It'd
• 45:38
