- 0:04Speaker 1: The following.

- 0:11Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:14Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:22Speaker 4: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Thursday,
- 0:26Speaker 4: August to twenty ninth. I got a lot going on.
- 0:29Speaker 4: It feels like because it's that time, that time to
- 0:32Speaker 4: start the season. This will be the last show that
- 0:34Speaker 4: we'll go every other day, all that rotation stuff, because
- 0:37Speaker 4: after next week've got the holiday on Monday, Labor Day.
- 0:40Speaker 4: After that, we'll get back in here on Tuesday, and
- 0:43Speaker 4: then it's every day from here until the next century.
- 0:47Speaker 4: I don't know forever. We'll keep doing this all season long.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Starts on Tuesday though next week. But we got today's show.
- 0:55Speaker 4: We got lots to talk about. Like I said, the
- 0:57Speaker 4: Cowboys are doing a lot of things, you know, just
- 1:00Speaker 4: kind of filling out their roster. They've they've got a
- 1:03Speaker 4: full practice squad now seventeen players. Again, if Denzel Jackson
- 1:10Speaker 4: gives them that roster exemption because of his international ties
- 1:16Speaker 4: to the Bahamas, so he's from Bahamas, it's the International
- 1:20Speaker 4: Pathway program, they get seventeen players because of that. He'll
- 1:23Speaker 4: be as long as he's on it all year long.
- 1:26Speaker 4: And they added today a cornerback that I just wrote down.
- 1:31Speaker 4: There's no way I could pronounce his name. I haven't
- 1:33Speaker 4: remembered that he's played for Carolina. His names of Amani,
- 1:39Speaker 4: Amari something I don't know. I will get the official
- 1:44Speaker 4: pronunciation at some point. He's played thirty six games. That's
- 1:47Speaker 4: pretty good for with Detroit. Four years with Detroit last
- 1:50Speaker 4: year or some with Jacksonville. Phil Hoskins, a defensive tackle
- 1:54Speaker 4: they've added on the practice squad. And then some guy
- 1:57Speaker 4: named Dalvin Cook running back. He's gonna wear number twenty.
- 2:01Speaker 4: We'll see what what he does and how long it
- 2:03Speaker 4: takes for him to get to get rolling. That's your
- 2:07Speaker 4: that's your practice squad right now. We'll have a full
- 2:10Speaker 4: list on the site. I think we had fourteen of
- 2:13Speaker 4: the names yesterday. Those three have been added. All right,
- 2:16Speaker 4: let's get going here. Eight eight eight eight five five
- 2:18Speaker 4: two two nine seven. We've got two callers on the line.
- 2:21Speaker 4: We'll start with Curtis. He's in Ada, Oklahoma.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Good morning, how you doing excellent?
- 2:28Speaker 6: Thank you?
- 2:28Speaker 3: How are you good?
- 2:29Speaker 1: It's been a while, Curtis.
- 2:31Speaker 5: Yes, it has, you know, licking wounds from last year.
- 2:33Speaker 5: But you know how the NFL is, it gets started
- 2:36Speaker 5: again and I get excited again.
- 2:37Speaker 1: So vicious cycle just sets you back in here. Yep.
- 2:42Speaker 5: Yeah, And you got to think relative. You know, twelve
- 2:44Speaker 5: and five seasons, the Giants won a couple of Super
- 2:47Speaker 5: Bowls and their fans, you know, aren't happy these days.
- 2:49Speaker 5: So you know, I just like that we play a
- 2:51Speaker 5: good brand of football.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, we'll see, We'll see if they keep doing that.
- 2:56Speaker 4: But you're right, it has been a good brand of football.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Hasn't been good when it really counts. We know that,
- 3:01Speaker 4: and so that's something they've got to fix.
- 3:04Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:04Speaker 5: What I tell people is like, I mean, really, if
- 3:06Speaker 5: you're not New England or Kansas City, nobody's knocking them
- 3:10Speaker 5: out all the time either. So yeah, but my statement
- 3:14Speaker 5: or question for today is I just can't help but
- 3:18Speaker 5: keep thinking about So the scenario would be like if
- 3:23Speaker 5: we're up a couple scores and we're in the red
- 3:26Speaker 5: zone or we're within Aubrey's range and it's like maybe
- 3:30Speaker 5: second or third down, and you have in the backfield,
- 3:34Speaker 5: you have dak Zeke and Trey Lance, and I just
- 3:39Speaker 5: wonder if there's anything there you could direct snap to
- 3:42Speaker 5: any one of those. You could play action, you know,
- 3:46Speaker 5: to Trey Lance or Zeke, and then Dak can roll
- 3:50Speaker 5: out and pass it. I don't know if I want
- 3:53Speaker 5: Trey Lance necessarily throwing the ball, especially in the red zone,
- 3:57Speaker 5: unless it's like a corner fade because of the way
- 4:00Speaker 5: field stretched out for pick sixes. But I just wonder
- 4:03Speaker 5: if there's anything there that would hesitate the defense, something
- 4:07Speaker 5: that you could put on tape, or maybe I'm just
- 4:09Speaker 5: trying to be too cute.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Well well, I mean no, that that all sounds good.
- 4:14Speaker 4: A couple of questions I would have for you is
- 4:17Speaker 4: is he your backup quarterback? Or do you want if
- 4:20Speaker 4: something happens, to Dak knock on a big oak tree here?
- 4:24Speaker 4: But if something happens, I mean, is he your quarterback?
- 4:26Speaker 4: Or do you want Cooper Rush to be the quarterback?
- 4:29Speaker 5: I'd want Cooper Rush.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, and so and I think and McCarthy
- 4:32Speaker 4: and Jerry and everyone else. But the point to that
- 4:36Speaker 4: is is that if not, then you're going to have
- 4:39Speaker 4: to be real creative with how they do the roster,
- 4:42Speaker 4: because you're going to have to have all three of
- 4:43Speaker 4: those guys active, Lance, Rush and Dak the only way
- 4:47Speaker 4: Lance can play is if the first two guys are
- 4:50Speaker 4: injured and out of the game. So if you could
- 4:54Speaker 4: make three quarterbacks active, but that's just going to mean
- 4:57Speaker 4: one less linebacker, one less corner, one less guy to
- 4:59Speaker 4: play special teams.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Or have depth in that regard. But I'm with you, like.
- 5:05Speaker 4: I I think at some point they might say they
- 5:10Speaker 4: might go into a game and just flip them later
- 5:12Speaker 4: in the year, they like they have a package that
- 5:14Speaker 4: they like.
- 5:14Speaker 1: For Trey Lance, I could see that happening.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Maybe he's doing well in practice, or who knows, Cooper
- 5:21Speaker 4: Rush has a you know, ankle injury that's bothered him
- 5:23Speaker 4: or something. I don't know. I'm just I'm just throwing
- 5:26Speaker 4: out scenarios where maybe this game.
- 5:28Speaker 1: They flip it and Cooper is the.
- 5:30Speaker 4: Is the emergency third quarterback, Lance is the backup, and
- 5:34Speaker 4: then that that could happen. But I and I'm not
- 5:37Speaker 4: rolling out three quarterbacks active for a game. I'm just
- 5:39Speaker 4: saying that they'll have to see how it's all gonna
- 5:41Speaker 4: work with special teams stuff like that.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Awesome, man, I appreciate.
- 5:46Speaker 1: It, thank you.
- 5:47Speaker 4: But to the point about what he's really saying is
- 5:51Speaker 4: you have a dynamic type of guy back here that
- 5:53Speaker 4: could create some different things. I think that would be
- 5:57Speaker 4: a really good player to have on your two point conversions.
- 6:01Speaker 4: Have him out there on two points. You've got two
- 6:03Speaker 4: guys out there that could throw it, run it. Uh,
- 6:06Speaker 4: just another guy to account for in a short space
- 6:09Speaker 4: like that. I would imagine they've got some plays in
- 6:13Speaker 4: the work. You just got to see how they can
- 6:15Speaker 4: get Lance to the game if they that's what they
- 6:18Speaker 4: want to do. But yeah, good, good thinking there, Curtis.
- 6:20Speaker 4: All right, Irene in Virginia's next Irene.
- 6:24Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, good morning, I'm good.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Good, good to hear.
- 6:28Speaker 8: Hey, I'm doing well. It's been a while. I know.
- 6:31Speaker 8: I kicked off the season and then went to like
- 6:33Speaker 8: quiet for a while there. Hey, so your big time now.
- 6:38Speaker 8: We know this because you have commercials. So that's something
- 6:42Speaker 8: I know that and reads too.
- 6:44Speaker 9: I got excited.
- 6:45Speaker 8: I was like, all right, he's made it.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And I love them.
- 6:49Speaker 4: I know, I love them right right there with the
- 6:54Speaker 4: lawnmowers something.
- 6:55Speaker 1: They're like right there, Yeah, exactly good stuff. But they
- 6:59Speaker 1: pay the bills.
- 6:59Speaker 8: They pay Maygel. Hey, if your show did that, they
- 7:03Speaker 8: wouldn't have had him. He went the next year. Yeah,
- 7:07Speaker 8: all right, so roster. I'm happy both list Key and
- 7:10Speaker 8: Vana on the team. I honestly don't really care about
- 7:14Speaker 8: the cooks siding. I mean, depth is great, so fine,
- 7:17Speaker 8: I don't I don't mind it. I don't feel anything
- 7:19Speaker 8: really towards it either way. The one piece piece I'm
- 7:23Speaker 8: actually kind of excited for, not in like, oh, he's
- 7:26Speaker 8: going to become deron Land, but the I don't know
- 7:30Speaker 8: if that's how you say it man.
- 7:31Speaker 4: That that sounds really good. I like that. I was
- 7:35Speaker 4: really about to message Chris like, can you paste that
- 7:38Speaker 4: name in there so I could give it a try.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I like what you just you just did? That's good?
- 7:43Speaker 1: Say it again? What is it?
- 7:48Speaker 4: Yes, that's the official association from the storyline.
- 7:53Speaker 9: There you go.
- 7:54Speaker 8: So the last couple of seasons he hasn't done much,
- 7:57Speaker 8: but to twenty twenty one twenty twenty he was pretty productive,
- 8:00Speaker 8: So I don't I don't know what the fall up
- 8:02Speaker 8: has been. But again, the depth piece that you can develop,
- 8:05Speaker 8: and if Carson doesn't isn't having a great season because
- 8:09Speaker 8: he's a rookie, maybe he can.
- 8:10Speaker 10: Work him in.
- 8:11Speaker 9: I don't know.
- 8:12Speaker 11: I just like to move.
- 8:13Speaker 8: It's not again, it's not the Ron Bland's replacement, but
- 8:16Speaker 8: worth a look.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Yeah, six picks in twenty twenty one. With the lines.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I mean that's yeah, that's that can play.
- 8:24Speaker 3: It's real nice.
- 8:25Speaker 4: There's no like that's making plays on the ball. And again,
- 8:28Speaker 4: I think the injuries last year in Jacksonville and then
- 8:31Speaker 4: played one game, so uh, you know, practice squad, it's
- 8:34Speaker 4: a free look. So it's kind of like Andrew Booth
- 8:37Speaker 4: really another player that you know, a young, a young guy.
- 8:40Speaker 4: But but this guy's been a lot more productive than
- 8:42Speaker 4: than Booth. Booth was just more of a high draft
- 8:44Speaker 4: pick that there's still develops.
- 8:48Speaker 8: Booth. I'm not convinced that he's not a safety or
- 8:50Speaker 8: a linebacker because I'm like, I don't know about the coverage,
- 8:53Speaker 8: but he tackled really well. Yeah yeah, maybe I'll have
- 8:56Speaker 8: the Marquis Bell role.
- 8:58Speaker 12: I love it.
- 8:58Speaker 4: I think I think safe the you're you're, you're right
- 9:01Speaker 4: about that. I will say, though, if you if you
- 9:04Speaker 4: saw the seventy yard touchdown run on the first play
- 9:07Speaker 4: of the game the other other day, just to run
- 9:09Speaker 4: around the edge, he was blocked into the cheerleaders maybe
- 9:15Speaker 4: front row. I mean, yeah, it wasn't it wasn't pretty
- 9:18Speaker 4: he needed to shed that block. Most safeties are not
- 9:22Speaker 4: going to be blocked off that like that too. So
- 9:24Speaker 4: he's just got to get better.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I mean, there's no doubt about his quick, quick feet.
- 9:27Speaker 4: He's got cornerback feet, so he's a corner He's just
- 9:30Speaker 4: gotta he's just gotta be tougher and in those situations,
- 9:33Speaker 4: get off the ball, make the plays. He's a good tackler,
- 9:36Speaker 4: like you said, you know, and they's got to take
- 9:38Speaker 4: that and be a good special teams guy. But yeah,
- 9:41Speaker 4: they're they're they're adding, they're adding some pieces. That's what
- 9:44Speaker 4: I like about it. They're they're they they've got a
- 9:46Speaker 4: lot of band aids on this thing. And whether it
- 9:49Speaker 4: be big band aids in defensive tackles or or some
- 9:53Speaker 4: of these corners or running back, whatever it is, they're
- 9:56Speaker 4: they're throwing. They're being active with names right now. Like
- 10:00Speaker 4: you wanted them to be active in free agency back
- 10:03Speaker 4: in March, but they're doing it now.
- 10:06Speaker 10: They did.
- 10:07Speaker 8: We want to just really late.
- 10:08Speaker 9: They just made us.
- 10:09Speaker 8: Wait, hey, one quick thing, just so I can tell
- 10:13Speaker 8: you a little bit about what like why I haven't
- 10:15Speaker 8: been around. I'm actually calling you from a skilled nursing facility.
- 10:20Speaker 8: My mom had a big injury right before the beginning
- 10:24Speaker 8: of storyline seasons. She actually almost tossed away a couple
- 10:28Speaker 8: of times. She's doing great now, they're taking care of her,
- 10:30Speaker 8: and I wanted to shout out doctor Sunshine because the
- 10:33Speaker 8: activities and stuff that they do here, like that stuff matters.
- 10:36Speaker 8: She's saying it, it's great.
- 10:38Speaker 4: That's great, that's great. That's gonna be hard for anything
- 10:42Speaker 4: to be better than that today. For me to hear
- 10:44Speaker 4: that's that's really awesome.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 10:47Speaker 8: I thank you for keeping me sane during this because
- 10:49Speaker 8: I needed the distraction. I haven't been able to call.
- 10:51Speaker 8: But uh, well, no one's.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Ever said that to me before about keeping them sane.
- 10:56Speaker 4: But that's cool. I feel that I can flip the script. No,
- 10:59Speaker 4: that's great to hear about your mom. Hope she continues
- 11:01Speaker 4: to do well. We're all pulling for for her as well.
- 11:05Speaker 4: Thank you so much for calling Irene all right and
- 11:09Speaker 4: uh and what she's referring to is my dad, Tim Meatman,
- 11:13Speaker 4: who he sings at at you know, at the retirement
- 11:18Speaker 4: homes and and he's it's really uplifting and call it
- 11:22Speaker 4: doctor Sunshine, and it really can be very beneficial. So
- 11:26Speaker 4: hopefully that's that's still working for Irene and our mother.
- 11:30Speaker 4: All Right, Gary in New Mexico. Wow, it's been a
- 11:33Speaker 4: while for Gary in New Mexico.
- 11:36Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, Hope springs eternal every August, right right right?
- 11:40Speaker 4: Hibernation is what it is. People just coming out of
- 11:43Speaker 4: the woodworks here. It must be football season.
- 11:45Speaker 6: It must be.
- 11:45Speaker 11: It must be. Man, I was. I was so focused
- 11:48Speaker 11: on trying to get into the show. I didn't even
- 11:49Speaker 11: think about what I was going to talk about. But uh,
- 11:53Speaker 11: let's talk about Dak Prescott.
- 11:54Speaker 6: Real quick, Okay, I've heard of him.
- 11:56Speaker 11: I was twelve years old during the great Danny White
- 12:00Speaker 11: Gary Hogabum controversy, so I remember what it's like when
- 12:05Speaker 11: you've got a good quarterback and the fans are.
- 12:07Speaker 6: Not happy with him.
- 12:09Speaker 11: That was a dumpster fire. So and I've got a
- 12:13Speaker 11: lot of friends that think Dak Prescott is trash and
- 12:15Speaker 11: we just need to move on. And that's the stupidest
- 12:17Speaker 11: thing I've ever heard. And I understand the lack of
- 12:20Speaker 11: playoff success, but if you look at Dak's career, he's
- 12:25Speaker 11: been the full time starter for seven of his eight seasons.
- 12:28Speaker 11: We'll throw out twenty twenty when he got hurt. But
- 12:31Speaker 11: in those other seven seasons, the Cowboys have never had
- 12:34Speaker 11: a losing year and they've made the playoffs five times. Okay,
- 12:39Speaker 11: that's not an accident, that's not a flute. I mean
- 12:43Speaker 11: this guy has taken them to the playoffs consistently. He's
- 12:45Speaker 11: one division titles consistently. He's been a Pro Bowler multiple times,
- 12:50Speaker 11: he's been an All Pro. He's coming off of his
- 12:52Speaker 11: best year, and this will be his second season in
- 12:55Speaker 11: McCarthy's offense. And I'm different than a lot of fans.
- 12:58Speaker 11: I am pro McCarthy and Prescott. I mean, we need
- 13:01Speaker 11: to realize when we've got a good thing, and let's
- 13:04Speaker 11: just let's get him signed. Let's put a team around
- 13:06Speaker 11: him that this is a good football team. Nick, and
- 13:09Speaker 11: I understand the playoff success, but we've got we've got
- 13:12Speaker 11: Pro Bowlers and All pros scattered all over the roster
- 13:15Speaker 11: and almost every area of the roster.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I with him. I mean, you're not You're not.
- 13:21Speaker 1: You don't have to convince me.
- 13:22Speaker 4: And I think you make good points there with with
- 13:24Speaker 4: Dak and and and the level of consistency that he
- 13:27Speaker 4: has brought to the team since he since he got here.
- 13:30Speaker 11: And the number one thing about Dak that that I
- 13:32Speaker 11: want to point out, and I think this is huge.
- 13:35Speaker 11: You know, he could have held out like c D.
- 13:38Speaker 11: He could have held in. But that man is at
- 13:41Speaker 11: work every day just doing his job. And there's a
- 13:44Speaker 11: lot to be said for that in today's NFL. And
- 13:47Speaker 11: you can't, I mean, you can't even put a price
- 13:49Speaker 11: on that type of leadership.
- 13:51Speaker 3: And uh, I just think they.
- 13:52Speaker 11: Need to resign him.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Man.
- 13:54Speaker 11: Just he's a good quarterback.
- 13:56Speaker 3: He's a good guy, and I think.
- 13:58Speaker 11: If we put the right guys around him, he can
- 14:01Speaker 11: get us over the hump. We just got to be patient.
- 14:03Speaker 11: His story is not finished being written yet. Yeah, so
- 14:06Speaker 11: let's enjoy.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Let's enjoy the ride.
- 14:08Speaker 11: We can talk about January when we get to January.
- 14:10Speaker 3: But let's enjoy the ride along the way.
- 14:13Speaker 4: I love it, you know. You know me, I'm always
- 14:16Speaker 4: going to be saying that thank you for the call. Gary,
- 14:18Speaker 4: good to hear from me, and I'm always going to
- 14:19Speaker 4: say enjoy the ride, because this is it. We're we're
- 14:21Speaker 4: about to start this thing. I you know, when he
- 14:25Speaker 4: talked about Danny White, Gary Hogeboom back in nineteen I
- 14:28Speaker 4: think it was nineteen eighty four. I was eight years old,
- 14:32Speaker 4: so I mean, but I do remember quarterback controversy, big deal.
- 14:36Speaker 4: And what you said was is Danny White was a
- 14:38Speaker 4: good quarterback.
- 14:39Speaker 1: And he was that.
- 14:41Speaker 4: There's no doubt he was a good quarterback. The problem
- 14:43Speaker 4: there was he replaced a great, a Hall of Fame quarterback,
- 14:48Speaker 4: that's who he replaced. So when you have a Hall
- 14:51Speaker 4: of Famer from and I don't even think great is
- 14:54Speaker 4: the right word when you're talking about Hall of Famer,
- 14:56Speaker 4: so you're you're talking about elite quarterback and and then
- 15:00Speaker 4: now you have a good one that is a big jump.
- 15:03Speaker 4: There's no doubt about that. And so that's that was that.
- 15:06Speaker 4: I'm sure what was the you know, that was the
- 15:09Speaker 4: story there was was how do we get back to
- 15:13Speaker 4: this greatness that they had in the seventies And you're
- 15:17Speaker 4: turning over every every rock to try to get that
- 15:19Speaker 4: done and it didn't work. And you look back now
- 15:22Speaker 4: and go, you know, Danny White was a really good
- 15:24Speaker 4: quarterback and Dak has been a really good quarterback as well.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Last year, I think he had a great season. You
- 15:33Speaker 4: know when he said that about Gary, just said that
- 15:35Speaker 4: about his seven years you threw out twenty twenty. But
- 15:40Speaker 4: you know these other seven years that I see, you know,
- 15:43Speaker 4: I see wins and losses. In first year he was
- 15:46Speaker 4: plus ten, right, thirteen and three, then plus two plus
- 15:49Speaker 4: four plus two twenty twenty that he they were I
- 15:54Speaker 4: think two and three when he got injured, so that
- 15:57Speaker 4: I mean, they were struggling, but who knows how that
- 15:59Speaker 4: would have turned out, so we can throw it out there.
- 16:02Speaker 4: Plus twenty twenty it was crazy year anyways. And then
- 16:05Speaker 4: plus seven plus seven plus seven last three seasons. So
- 16:08Speaker 4: so if you want to be pro Dak, you look
- 16:10Speaker 4: at that and go, man, he's that's what what you know?
- 16:13Speaker 4: Thirty one almost forty games over five hundred, That's that's
- 16:18Speaker 4: what the glass half full. Now the half empty is like, oh,
- 16:21Speaker 4: who cares about that? How about the playoffs? What's your
- 16:23Speaker 4: playoff record? What's that? And that's fair too. That's kind
- 16:27Speaker 4: of where we are in this situation. But I think Dak,
- 16:31Speaker 4: you're right about that. He's also been he's been here,
- 16:33Speaker 4: he's been here. He's the leader of this team. It's
- 16:36Speaker 4: a different situation than what CD has, different than what
- 16:39Speaker 4: Micah is probably going to have. When you're the leader
- 16:42Speaker 4: of the team, everybody's looking at you and can you
- 16:45Speaker 4: handle it? And that's what we're about to find out.
- 16:47Speaker 4: All right, Let's go to Anthony and Miami.
- 16:51Speaker 7: My guy, Nick, Quick, what's up are you? I'm doing
- 16:56Speaker 7: pretty good today, Nick, pretty good. Another with Miami days,
- 16:59Speaker 7: but I'm doing pretty all right. I like to start
- 17:02Speaker 7: this thing out with accolades and praises, and first of all,
- 17:06Speaker 7: to your producer, which is great, Chris. But you know,
- 17:10Speaker 7: when we I don't know if they're all producers or whatever,
- 17:12Speaker 7: but the people I've called for six years. I've been
- 17:15Speaker 7: listening for about ten, but for six I've heard Douglas
- 17:19Speaker 7: on the phones. I've heard col who I've advocated for this,
- 17:22Speaker 7: my guy, I've heard Chris now and Jazz. I mean,
- 17:25Speaker 7: they need some shout outs, you know what I'm saying.
- 17:27Speaker 7: If they can get more money, they damn show deserve
- 17:29Speaker 7: it because they're great and what they do, you know,
- 17:32Speaker 7: introducing us and getting us ready for the call, having
- 17:34Speaker 7: a little fun and stuff like that. So let me
- 17:36Speaker 7: say that.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Yeah, well fresh cash cow, Kyle's now you know on
- 17:42Speaker 4: this side of the things. But true, a true testament
- 17:47Speaker 4: to people that come in and do whatever it takes
- 17:50Speaker 4: to kind of get the job done and to fill
- 17:52Speaker 4: any kind of roles that are needed. He's done that.
- 17:55Speaker 4: Uh of course. You know Douglas, Uh, he's been here
- 17:59Speaker 4: for forever. Uh. And Chris Chris is you know mcgiver
- 18:03Speaker 4: was I just called him. And you know, Utah Jazz,
- 18:06Speaker 4: I mean, she's just uh, you know, I don't know
- 18:08Speaker 4: if I like that nickname anymore because Utah Jazz I
- 18:10Speaker 4: don't win anything.
- 18:11Speaker 1: And I know this. I know this.
- 18:14Speaker 4: I just handed an Emmy trophy to Jazz yesterday and
- 18:18Speaker 4: put it on her desk, which I think it's about
- 18:20Speaker 4: three or four for her now, so she's winner. So
- 18:22Speaker 4: I don't know about that Utah Jazz anymore. I'm not
- 18:25Speaker 4: calling her.
- 18:25Speaker 7: That, all right, Okay, Hey, no, no, no, that's right.
- 18:30Speaker 7: Maybe that Hey, those are our people, man. You know,
- 18:33Speaker 7: I can't help this positive energy. That's why I like
- 18:35Speaker 7: calls like Michael. I heard the shout out a couple
- 18:37Speaker 7: we said, go Michael and Coble cal form. He's always
- 18:40Speaker 7: you know, I don't care what his content is, but
- 18:42Speaker 7: he's always positive. Se Bastian. You know what I'm saying.
- 18:45Speaker 7: He comes to the energy. And you had a guy
- 18:47Speaker 7: I didn't.
- 18:47Speaker 4: Call it what you had to hold up now, Yeah,
- 18:49Speaker 4: you had a guy Michael, Michael from Colton, California, always positive.
- 18:54Speaker 7: I don't know the energy.
- 18:58Speaker 4: Oh yeah, go back to the one for after the
- 19:00Speaker 4: Packers loss, and yeah, that one wasn't so much. Where's
- 19:06Speaker 4: the volume, buddy? Oh my god, Yeah you're bringing it today.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Must be football season, huh heright.
- 19:13Speaker 7: Man, Look, I just you know, sometimes you gotta just
- 19:15Speaker 7: do what you gotta do, you know, because when you
- 19:17Speaker 7: know I'm hearing at the end of the show, I
- 19:19Speaker 7: told you I support everything Cowboys. Man, told you I'm
- 19:22Speaker 7: the one who support the shows. And I know it's
- 19:24Speaker 7: other people that do it, but I'm gonna be known
- 19:26Speaker 7: for doing that everything Cowboys you know the Star that's me, baby.
- 19:30Speaker 7: I'm watching everything on t on Cowboys TV. You know
- 19:32Speaker 7: the Star app. You know Cowboys app. That's just what
- 19:35Speaker 7: I do. Show. I heard you and Rob at the
- 19:38Speaker 7: end of the show too, it says that in call
- 19:39Speaker 7: y'all giving each other pats on the back, and y'all
- 19:42Speaker 7: got y'all Dixon that which for Dak I'm still sticking
- 19:44Speaker 7: with Hollywood Henderson. So to be doing numbers, you know that,
- 19:47Speaker 7: But I did you know you did to Tony doing
- 19:49Speaker 7: same thing. But I could have done a little Hersha
- 19:51Speaker 7: Walker on you because I told you what it was
- 19:53Speaker 7: gonna be. You know what I'm saying. But I think
- 19:55Speaker 7: that's gonna be that.
- 19:56Speaker 1: It's not gonna Henderson. I mean, I'm sure fifty six.
- 20:00Speaker 7: Sure if the science now, if DAK science, if Dak
- 20:05Speaker 7: somehow miraculously signs before Game one against Cleveland, I think
- 20:08Speaker 7: it's gonna be fifty six. I'll cap it at fifty
- 20:10Speaker 7: six to five. That's just me, man. I don't know
- 20:13Speaker 7: why I feel this way. You know, it's just what
- 20:16Speaker 7: I You know, it could be worth more. But when
- 20:18Speaker 7: you're reset markets, man, to reset that market is fifty
- 20:21Speaker 7: five point with one point two, that's to reset the market,
- 20:25Speaker 7: you gonna be the hot say, man, fifty six helps
- 20:27Speaker 7: the team. You not taking nothing away from that he's
- 20:30Speaker 7: getting with these deserts. I just don't understand why people think,
- 20:32Speaker 7: we know your fifty eight is good, that that might
- 20:35Speaker 7: be a cap right there. But the sixty and all
- 20:37Speaker 7: that numbers say, oh, man, I pat you. Mahomes is
- 20:41Speaker 7: the only one and Tom Brady in the last them
- 20:44Speaker 7: sixty seven years that deserved that type of money quarterback
- 20:46Speaker 7: the only not borrow, not no. But I'm just sorry,
- 20:49Speaker 7: and that's just you know the way I feel. Deep Blue,
- 20:51Speaker 7: my last one, deep Blue, you said it do what
- 20:54Speaker 7: you love and love what you do. Sebastian called that one.
- 20:57Speaker 7: He said, Man, let me tell you something. That was
- 20:58Speaker 7: one of the best thing since Jesse's story. Yeah, you know,
- 21:02Speaker 7: I love Jesse's story. How you came up and him
- 21:04Speaker 7: talking about that security guard stuff late at nights walking
- 21:07Speaker 7: around that me and my ol lady watched this one.
- 21:09Speaker 7: That hit me man, that oh my God's choice and
- 21:13Speaker 7: all the people and you interview on these people. Man,
- 21:14Speaker 7: it was one of the best things I've ever seen.
- 21:16Speaker 7: So shut out that everybody who had something to do
- 21:18Speaker 7: with that production. And as I always said, cowboys for
- 21:20Speaker 7: a lot of babies. Talks to you next time, Nickie.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Thank you appreciate that man. Anthony bringing it today, I
- 21:27Speaker 4: love it. You're right though, on a lot of those things.
- 21:32Speaker 4: The Barber documentary, if you haven't seen it, check that out.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Marion Barber, do what you love and get some clean
- 21:41Speaker 4: X and it'll it'll be going fifty six million a year.
- 21:48Speaker 4: I just think that's too low. I think I think
- 21:50Speaker 4: the asking price has been up in the sixties. I
- 21:52Speaker 4: think to do that, you're probably gonna to get this done.
- 21:56Speaker 4: I just see it being a little higher than that.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Fifty seven, maybe eight. But again with this contract, you know,
- 22:03Speaker 4: it seemed like with CD he made a point to
- 22:06Speaker 4: say that his agent told him, hey, the Cowboys are
- 22:09Speaker 4: going I went to thirty four, and he was like,
- 22:11Speaker 4: where do I sign? And like that seemed to be
- 22:13Speaker 4: the sticking point with that. I'm not sure if it
- 22:17Speaker 4: is an average per year where that's the only thing
- 22:21Speaker 4: that matters. I think it could be a little bit
- 22:23Speaker 4: more than that, just on on you know, obviously the
- 22:25Speaker 4: length of the deal and and just guaranteed money. There's
- 22:29Speaker 4: a lot of little factors in there. It could be though.
- 22:31Speaker 4: It could be that number right there, but we'll see.
- 22:35Speaker 4: I think it's gonna have to be a little higher
- 22:37Speaker 4: than that when we go to break real quick. We
- 22:38Speaker 4: do have one caller on the line, but.
- 22:40Speaker 1: We will go to break. We'll be right back here

- 25:02Speaker 4: Uh, you're the second call from Oklahoma, and after that
- 25:05Speaker 4: we got a third. So I mean you guys, Hey.
- 25:08Speaker 8: We're trying to do, sir.
- 25:09Speaker 7: That's what we're telling you.
- 25:10Speaker 10: What is in North Carolina? That's always calling it.
- 25:13Speaker 4: North Carolina calls in a lot. There's no doubt about
- 25:16Speaker 4: Virginia's pretty strong. Obviously, we've got California and Florida, New York, Texas.
- 25:21Speaker 10: So yeah, Oklahoma, show up, Oklahoma going calleage some most
- 25:24Speaker 10: people going to colleague.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Chris, Chris and I both have lived
- 25:28Speaker 4: in Oklahoma, both of us, so we got we got
- 25:31Speaker 4: our connections and actually in the same part, like right
- 25:34Speaker 4: that northeast area. I don't even know where Langston is.
- 25:37Speaker 4: I don't know where that is south where No anyways,
- 25:40Speaker 4: and no one does either.
- 25:41Speaker 1: All right, let's go, let's go. Sorry, let's get let's
- 25:43Speaker 1: get it moving here. Sorry, what's up?
- 25:47Speaker 6: Oh?
- 25:47Speaker 10: Now, I was calling because I know, you know, they
- 25:49Speaker 10: did the cut downs, and I was just wondering, what
- 25:51Speaker 10: was a surprise name for you me it would have
- 25:54Speaker 10: been Eric Scott.
- 25:55Speaker 9: I like Derk Scott.
- 25:56Speaker 10: I know he was with the last ragime, but with
- 25:58Speaker 10: Flynn going down, me off guard if they let a
- 26:01Speaker 10: corner go when we probably needed another one. But I mean, hey,
- 26:05Speaker 10: if he wasn't working out, he wasn't working out. And
- 26:07Speaker 10: like I said, I I'll never want to say so
- 26:09Speaker 10: long out. I'll listen and I'll talk to you later.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Man. I appreciate it.
- 26:13Speaker 4: Sorry, I guess we could have gone through the map
- 26:15Speaker 4: of Oklahoma there. You're gonna take a quick call like that, No,
- 26:20Speaker 4: I'm always good to hear from you, Lewis. He's working
- 26:22Speaker 4: on that all storyline team for sure. Man, he's gonna
- 26:25Speaker 4: he's got he's got a T shirt waiting for him. Uh, definitely.
- 26:28Speaker 4: He's been calling a lot. Love to hear from him.
- 26:32Speaker 4: The surprise cuts, you know, like it seems like it's
- 26:35Speaker 4: so overanalyzed that you're like, you know, you get to
- 26:39Speaker 4: this point and I'm not saying nothing surprises you, but
- 26:43Speaker 4: like it's everything gets talked about, So there was no
- 26:46Speaker 4: shocking cut. I did think that Royce Freeman would stay
- 26:50Speaker 4: around though. I thought they would do that. And then again,
- 26:52Speaker 4: I didn't think the Dalvin Cook was just gonna happen
- 26:54Speaker 4: like that. So that's that's their veteran running back on
- 26:57Speaker 4: the practice squad. But no, Eric Scott didn't really surprise me.
- 27:02Speaker 4: He just didn't see a lot from him. He didn't
- 27:06Speaker 4: come across as the most confident corner. And that's all
- 27:09Speaker 4: I'm gonna say. I just like that's what it just
- 27:12Speaker 4: the perception was, so you know, he didn't have that
- 27:18Speaker 4: it factor that Deron Bland had right away that Kayln
- 27:22Speaker 4: Carson has right away. Hopefully he does, you know, play
- 27:26Speaker 4: play better unless they're playing the Cowboys. I forget who
- 27:29Speaker 4: picked him up, honestly, I know, I know they were.
- 27:32Speaker 4: They were really disappointed in Julius Wood getting getting claimed
- 27:36Speaker 4: that was a guy they really liked, just didn't have
- 27:39Speaker 4: the spot for him on the roster, and they were
- 27:40Speaker 4: hoping to to sneak him back to the practice squad.
- 27:43Speaker 4: But no, no, real surprise is really from from that.
- 27:47Speaker 4: You know, seventeen guys on a practice squad is a lot.
- 27:50Speaker 4: It's a lot of guys. You can use it. And
- 27:52Speaker 4: remember how the rules are. You can elevate these players too.
- 27:55Speaker 4: Per week. They can be elevated three times before they
- 28:00Speaker 4: they have no more elevations. You have to either put
- 28:02Speaker 4: them on the roster, they just stay on the practice squad.
- 28:04Speaker 4: So all right, let's stay in Oklahoma. We got Gavin
- 28:08Speaker 4: Oklahoma City.
- 28:09Speaker 6: Hey man, how's it making it?
- 28:11Speaker 1: Good man? How are you?
- 28:12Speaker 6: I'm good man, I'm great. Secure tickets to the Ravens
- 28:17Speaker 6: Cowboys game. And I felt a lot better that I
- 28:19Speaker 6: know eighty eight is gonna be suiting up knock on Wood. Yeah, yeah,
- 28:23Speaker 6: so that'll be a good time. And shout out to Oklahoma. Man.
- 28:28Speaker 6: All these Oklahoma people call them here I'm a Louisiana native,
- 28:31Speaker 6: but I know from Don Hard from here that just
- 28:33Speaker 6: grew up on Cowboys football. Shout out to Oklahoma.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Yeah, but the pro team over there too, I mean, well,
- 28:39Speaker 4: I mean the Oklahoma Sooners are the pro team now,
- 28:41Speaker 4: especially with nil. But but yeah, you know, you know
- 28:45Speaker 4: what I'm talking about for sure. But yeah, but I've
- 28:48Speaker 4: lived in Oklahoma, like I said, and a lot of
- 28:50Speaker 4: Cowboys fans there, and you know, and and also we
- 28:52Speaker 4: got Gary from New Mexico. I mean New Mexico is
- 28:55Speaker 4: another border state, just like Arkansas, losing all the and
- 28:59Speaker 4: and those are the team for sure, Yes.
- 29:01Speaker 3: For sure.
- 29:03Speaker 6: But I guess my comments last question today is they're flying.
- 29:11Speaker 6: They flew out Dalvin could and obviously find them to
- 29:13Speaker 6: the practice squad even though no disrespect, But personally, I
- 29:17Speaker 6: feel like the biggest thing you could do for that
- 29:20Speaker 6: running back room is maybe find someone explosive. I feel
- 29:23Speaker 6: like we have enough power back to them, but I
- 29:25Speaker 6: guess it doesn't hurt, you know, to have someone else
- 29:27Speaker 6: in the building. But I guess my question really is
- 29:31Speaker 6: do you feel like maybe they should be flying in
- 29:35Speaker 6: some proven cornerbacks because I'm very worried about our corner
- 29:40Speaker 6: back room. I just feel like, no disrespect to anybody,
- 29:44Speaker 6: but Andrew Booth what I saw in the preseason, I
- 29:47Speaker 6: believe that's his name. I'm not sure that would be
- 29:50Speaker 6: a great option if God forbid, anything happened in Treyvar's recovery.
- 29:54Speaker 6: And I'll listen to you speak on that, and you appreciate.
- 30:00Speaker 4: It, Thanks, Gavin, appreciate that. And you know you said
- 30:04Speaker 4: no disrespect couple of times. I'll say as well to
- 30:06Speaker 4: that point, no disrespect to that comment. But just remember
- 30:09Speaker 4: this if you if you're walking through the aisles of Walmart,
- 30:13Speaker 4: you don't see the experienced corners here. The explosive running back,
- 30:17Speaker 4: So that's on this aisle and they're not out there.
- 30:19Speaker 4: I mean, the explosive running backs are usually on a team.
- 30:22Speaker 4: The experienced corners also on a team. You got to
- 30:25Speaker 4: go trade for them. That's the thing they traded for Booth.
- 30:28Speaker 4: I mean they traded nay Sean Wright for Booth. All
- 30:32Speaker 4: I'm saying is is that and that, And I remember
- 30:34Speaker 4: Bill Parcells saying that long time ago. You can't just
- 30:37Speaker 4: go up to the gas station and pick up what
- 30:39Speaker 4: you need, you know, with when it comes to running backs, corners,
- 30:43Speaker 4: they're they're not available. And if they were an explosive
- 30:46Speaker 4: running back that that's out there, that's not in college,
- 30:50Speaker 4: then they're probably gonna be on a team. I mean,
- 30:53Speaker 4: that's that's just kind of where it is. I mean,
- 30:56Speaker 4: think about Deuce Vaughan for instance. All Right, Deuce has
- 30:59Speaker 4: his limitations. We know that, Okay, it's gonna be hard
- 31:01Speaker 4: for him to play a lot of special teams. But
- 31:04Speaker 4: he is an explosively, you know, quick back that right
- 31:08Speaker 4: there is probably what kept him on the team. So
- 31:11Speaker 4: that's my point is that it's hard to just get
- 31:13Speaker 4: rid of traits like that. You're looking for traits. Who's
- 31:17Speaker 4: got this, who's got that? They added the corner again,
- 31:23Speaker 4: I've already I'm still not even gonna even attempt the name.
- 31:26Speaker 4: He's played five years, he's you know, he's got some experience.
- 31:31Speaker 4: Don't know how good he's going to be into this.
- 31:34Speaker 4: But but the Cowboys are adding Look at what they're doing.
- 31:36Speaker 4: They're they're adding some veteran players. They keep adding some
- 31:40Speaker 4: veteran defensive tackles. They have totally flipped that defensive tackle
- 31:43Speaker 4: room upside down. Other than Mazzi and Osa, everybody else
- 31:47Speaker 4: that's in there is a three hundred and twenty pound guy,
- 31:52Speaker 4: if not bigger, Lynval Joseph of course, Jordan Phillips, Phil Hoskins.
- 31:57Speaker 4: All these guys have played in the league at least
- 31:59Speaker 4: three years. They're all over three fifteen, three twenty and
- 32:02Speaker 4: and in six ' five they've added some beef there
- 32:05Speaker 4: in the middle of that defensive line. So I'm just
- 32:08Speaker 4: saying they're if they're out there, I think the Cowboys
- 32:11Speaker 4: are showing that they're trying to find them and and
- 32:14Speaker 4: add them to the team. So we'll see how that
- 32:16Speaker 4: how that goes? All right, let's go to New Jersey. RDJ.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Is that right? RDJ?
- 32:23Speaker 6: Yep? That's right.
- 32:25Speaker 1: How are you?
- 32:26Speaker 6: How are you doing that? Yeah?
- 32:28Speaker 12: I usually come in with RD but I figured r
- 32:31Speaker 12: DJ because it's the full name for Robert Davis Junior.
- 32:35Speaker 1: So all right, all right? Is this first time? Called
- 32:37Speaker 1: the first time?
- 32:38Speaker 12: Oh no, no, no, I called a couple of times.
- 32:40Speaker 4: All right, I just don't remember that writing that down
- 32:43Speaker 4: our DJ. But either way, you know, either way, here.
- 32:47Speaker 12: I can look at it. I can still get it.
- 32:48Speaker 9: Here we go.
- 32:49Speaker 12: Yeah, I love it.
- 32:49Speaker 6: Here we go, Here we go.
- 32:51Speaker 1: You got it. We haven't had one yet go for it?
- 32:53Speaker 1: So all good? What's on your mind?
- 32:56Speaker 12: Yeah, but you touched on You touched on what I
- 32:59Speaker 12: wanted to call all about was reduced Vaughn and that
- 33:03Speaker 12: his you know, certain traits that he had. And my
- 33:06Speaker 12: thing is is that I go back to what Nate
- 33:08Speaker 12: was talking about earlier in the week, that you've got
- 33:11Speaker 12: to play him, and you know, I'm just curious as
- 33:15Speaker 12: to what plays Do you think he's going to you know,
- 33:18Speaker 12: be involved and it's going to be gadget played or
- 33:20Speaker 12: do you think it's going to be something that they're
- 33:22Speaker 12: going to just surprise them with because of because of
- 33:25Speaker 12: the speed, because of this shiftiness.
- 33:27Speaker 7: You know.
- 33:28Speaker 12: It's I'm curious because I like the way he runs.
- 33:30Speaker 12: I've watched him in college and I love this. I
- 33:34Speaker 12: love this kid. I love the way he played, and
- 33:37Speaker 12: I love what he's done this year and and bulking
- 33:40Speaker 12: up in order to be able to take that first
- 33:42Speaker 12: hit and then show his explosiveness. So I was just
- 33:46Speaker 12: curious as to what your thought was about him, But
- 33:48Speaker 12: you touched a little bit on him.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 33:52Speaker 12: I just want to shout out to everybody that's been
- 33:54Speaker 12: calling in because I tell you this, it's kept me
- 33:56Speaker 12: going a lot because I've had to surge reach, which
- 34:00Speaker 12: I had to deal with cancer. And let me tell
- 34:03Speaker 12: you something, training camp, being on Cowboys, uh uh, the network,
- 34:08Speaker 12: listening to all the callers and listening to all the
- 34:11Speaker 12: shows that really get my mind off the things that
- 34:13Speaker 12: I've been adding. So I want to shout out to
- 34:15Speaker 12: everybody and say everyone.
- 34:16Speaker 4: Well, thank you so much and thanks for for sharing
- 34:19Speaker 4: that and and keep keep battling man. We we we uh,
- 34:23Speaker 4: we appreciate all the fans. We appreciate you saying that,
- 34:26Speaker 4: and uh and good luck to you for sure and
- 34:28Speaker 4: all the the in your journey there. So you know,
- 34:33Speaker 4: the calls like that, you know, I know we're talking
- 34:35Speaker 4: about football, Douce Vaughn and and all this stuff. And
- 34:38Speaker 4: I'll answer that, but just remember, calls like that put
- 34:41Speaker 4: a lot of things in perspective, uh on on you know,
- 34:44Speaker 4: where where things are. And as soon as you forget,
- 34:46Speaker 4: you know, you forget. I just think I'm looking at
- 34:48Speaker 4: it at my camera here and just talking football and
- 34:51Speaker 4: and and you don't you don't think really what what
- 34:54Speaker 4: it might do, uh for other people to kind of
- 34:56Speaker 4: get their mind off of what's really going on, what's
- 34:59Speaker 4: really important just to talk to football, So you know
- 35:03Speaker 4: that's that that means a lot to hear things like that,
- 35:06Speaker 4: and it's good for me.
- 35:07Speaker 1: It's a good reminder for me to do that.
- 35:10Speaker 4: So that being said, going back to your question on
- 35:14Speaker 4: Deuce Vaughan, you said what plays will be good for
- 35:17Speaker 4: him to run? And I mean this when I say this,
- 35:20Speaker 4: I mean this one hundred percent, all of them, all
- 35:24Speaker 4: of the plays, because for him to be effective, he's
- 35:27Speaker 4: gonna have to do everything. You're not gonna make a
- 35:30Speaker 4: living out of third and one handing the ball off
- 35:32Speaker 4: Deduce Vaughan up the middle. I understand that. I get it.
- 35:35Speaker 4: That's what made Zeke who he is and and in
- 35:38Speaker 4: some of these big powerbacks. But if you don't show
- 35:42Speaker 4: that you can do that and you will do that,
- 35:45Speaker 4: then every time Deuce is in the game, it's gonna
- 35:47Speaker 4: be watch out for this. It's gonna be a pass
- 35:50Speaker 4: here in the in the flat, or it's gonna be
- 35:52Speaker 4: a quick kick or something weird. No, he's gonna have
- 35:54Speaker 4: to do it all. And that's the most impressive thing
- 35:57Speaker 4: about that run he did in Week two of the
- 35:59Speaker 4: preseason and against the Raiders, because it was pretty much
- 36:02Speaker 4: a run up the middle and right in between the
- 36:04Speaker 4: tackles and he made a guy miss and then he
- 36:05Speaker 4: went twelve yards. Those are the kind of things that
- 36:07Speaker 4: show Wow, that's a running back, not a gadget back,
- 36:13Speaker 4: not a small back, quick back. It's running back. That's
- 36:17Speaker 4: what he has to be. We know he's not going
- 36:19Speaker 4: to be doing everything that other backs are doing, but
- 36:22Speaker 4: but there's a lot of other backs that can't do
- 36:24Speaker 4: what he does. But you have to be able to
- 36:26Speaker 4: kind of do it all and if not, then then
- 36:29Speaker 4: teams will catch on real quick. Every team, every every
- 36:32Speaker 4: team's got six quality control coaches. They got to coach somewhere.
- 36:35Speaker 4: That's saying, I just need to focus on every play
- 36:38Speaker 4: Deuce does, and it can't be it can't be well
- 36:41Speaker 4: every time he's in he does this. It's got to
- 36:43Speaker 4: be all of them for him to really be effective.
- 36:45Speaker 4: That's this is my take on that. Dylan in Northport,
- 36:48Speaker 4: Florida is next Kenny.
- 36:51Speaker 1: How you going man?
- 36:52Speaker 14: Good head joining halfway here. So hopefully nobody's said what
- 36:56Speaker 14: I'm about to say. But that birthday to Randy over
- 36:58Speaker 14: this last weekend, I think Sunday or Saturday was his birthday.
- 37:03Speaker 14: Half a birthday, big guy.
- 37:04Speaker 1: All right, yeah, maybe he'll call yes, sir.
- 37:07Speaker 14: And then I just thank god Seee's contract got done
- 37:10Speaker 14: just so quickly, because it would have been a shame
- 37:11Speaker 14: if that dominated the whole season, off season and all
- 37:14Speaker 14: of the contract talk and all the fan talk. Thank
- 37:17Speaker 14: god him and his team in the front office, man
- 37:19Speaker 14: got that done so quick. You were talking about uz Von.
- 37:24Speaker 14: He can run between the tackles. We saw in the
- 37:26Speaker 14: preseason at home drive a pile a couple of times.
- 37:28Speaker 14: He's so low, he gets so stinking low, and it's
- 37:31Speaker 14: so hard to get lower than him. And he uses
- 37:34Speaker 14: that leverage man big time to get into some of
- 37:37Speaker 14: these piles and it comes out two yards ahead and
- 37:39Speaker 14: you're like, where did you go? But there he is
- 37:41Speaker 14: two yards from where the contact started. So he can
- 37:44Speaker 14: definitely run between tackles for sure. And then last point,
- 37:47Speaker 14: maybe you can talk on this one. I got a
- 37:49Speaker 14: LASA yesterday and I can I can see clearly now, right,
- 37:51Speaker 14: And so what I can clearly see is that mister
- 37:54Speaker 14: Ryan Flernoy he's going to be the future wide receiver
- 37:57Speaker 14: two or three of this team. He has had so
- 37:58Speaker 14: many traits that I love. He catches the ball well
- 38:01Speaker 14: here on Droughts.
- 38:02Speaker 3: Well, he's quick.
- 38:03Speaker 14: We saw him make guys miss in the last game,
- 38:06Speaker 14: and I just think that he runs you Cedric Wilson.
- 38:08Speaker 14: Maybe it's a half sleeve. I don't know, but he
- 38:10Speaker 14: looks like him to me, and I think he's the
- 38:12Speaker 14: future two or three down the road in his career
- 38:14Speaker 14: in this team.
- 38:14Speaker 1: I love it.
- 38:15Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for thanks Dylan for the call of Ryan Fillinoy.
- 38:19Speaker 4: I like everything that he's done. He's the first. I
- 38:22Speaker 4: mean just look at like the three games for preseason.
- 38:25Speaker 4: I mean the first game, there are some drops.
- 38:27Speaker 6: Man.
- 38:28Speaker 4: You know, he looked like it was his first game.
- 38:31Speaker 4: You know, because I know this when you're at Southeast,
- 38:35Speaker 4: you know, Missouri State. I think they call that simo. Okay,
- 38:38Speaker 4: they don't play it so far that those aren't the
- 38:41Speaker 4: games that they play at. And it looked like it was.
- 38:44Speaker 4: It was a different world for him. Second game scores
- 38:47Speaker 4: a touchdown against the Raiders, but also had some other
- 38:49Speaker 4: nice catches in there in the drive. Third game also
- 38:53Speaker 4: catches a touchdown, had some other nice catches, nice open
- 38:56Speaker 4: field move. You just see it. In three games. You
- 38:58Speaker 4: see the confidence that went up there with Ryan Flinnoy
- 39:01Speaker 4: you know, again, that's a sixth round pick. I guess
- 39:05Speaker 4: I think for him not the same as Jalen Tolbert,
- 39:08Speaker 4: but you know, where they played in South Alabama is
- 39:12Speaker 4: a higher, you know, rated school obviously than Southeast Missouri,
- 39:15Speaker 4: but still still small school, and he needed some development.
- 39:19Speaker 4: I like where he is right now in comparison to
- 39:22Speaker 4: where Tolbert was as a rookie. So and we've seen
- 39:24Speaker 4: his progression, maybe even at a faster rate. We'll see
- 39:28Speaker 4: Ryan f Lenoy. But not a bad thought there. Second
- 39:32Speaker 4: and third, I mean, that's kind of why you draft him.
- 39:33Speaker 4: You draft a guy like that thinking that he could
- 39:35Speaker 4: get to that level, and so far it does look
- 39:38Speaker 4: like that's what it'll be. All Right, We're gonna take
- 39:40Speaker 4: another break here on Cowboys storyline.
- 39:43Speaker 1: We'll be right back.

- 40:54Speaker 4: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline. You just got
- 40:57Speaker 4: time for a couple more callers and a text.
- 40:59Speaker 1: We got a.
- 41:00Speaker 4: Question from Joe and Stanford. He used to call all
- 41:03Speaker 4: the time. He's changed jobs a little bit, uh, and
- 41:07Speaker 4: he doesn't have the ability to call like he used to.
- 41:09Speaker 4: I think he might have been the one that called
- 41:11Speaker 4: the most when we were first starting this thing off
- 41:14Speaker 4: about this time last year. So uh missed the calls
- 41:17Speaker 4: from him. Got a chance to see him at the
- 41:19Speaker 4: at the game, I mean at practice yesterday wearing that
- 41:22Speaker 4: storyline t shirt.
- 41:23Speaker 1: I loved it, uh perfect.
- 41:24Speaker 4: So his question is is looking at the practice squad,
- 41:28Speaker 4: there's just so many veterans on the practice squad wearing
- 41:31Speaker 4: your thoughts on that, And that's just the product of
- 41:35Speaker 4: the new rules. I mean the rules state there. Used
- 41:37Speaker 4: to be you could only be in the league for
- 41:39Speaker 4: like two years and he could only play maybe eight
- 41:42Speaker 4: games or so. So practice squad was really a developmental squad.
- 41:47Speaker 4: And what what was happening is is that it was
- 41:49Speaker 4: just becoming they were just squeezing out older players. And
- 41:53Speaker 4: now this is a way and this is something that
- 41:56Speaker 4: that developed during COVID, but this is a way to
- 42:00Speaker 4: these older guys give them a chance to stay on
- 42:02Speaker 4: a roster. I mean, you've got some Carl Lawson's on
- 42:05Speaker 4: the practice squad right now, and so is Dalvin Cook
- 42:08Speaker 4: and and and Phil Hoskins and and you know, just
- 42:12Speaker 4: just guys that have played a lot. So that's they're
- 42:15Speaker 4: just using the rules to their advantage and and having
- 42:18Speaker 4: some some veteran players. I mean, these are these free
- 42:21Speaker 4: agent type guys that they didn't sign in March and April,
- 42:24Speaker 4: and now they're kind of adding to their team right now.
- 42:27Speaker 4: So just a different approach, but I like, I like
- 42:29Speaker 4: what they're doing. All right, Bob, uh Bob and Rio
- 42:33Speaker 4: Grand Valley Bob.
- 42:36Speaker 3: And Nick? How you doing, Buddy good?
- 42:37Speaker 1: How are you?
- 42:38Speaker 3: I'm doing great? And I really got inspired a few
- 42:41Speaker 3: minutes ago by a call from one of our listeners
- 42:45Speaker 3: that the fellow was talking about how much the show
- 42:49Speaker 3: meant to him and helping him get through this play
- 42:51Speaker 3: with cancer.
- 42:52Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 42:52Speaker 3: I want to well, I want to say something for
- 42:54Speaker 3: all of us that really enjoy this program. You know,
- 42:58Speaker 3: it gives us a chance to be a part of something,
- 43:02Speaker 3: feel like we're contributing, ask questions, get better informed, and
- 43:06Speaker 3: listen to other people's opinions. So I want to compliment
- 43:09Speaker 3: you for thanks the idea of the storyline and bringing
- 43:14Speaker 3: this to Fruision.
- 43:16Speaker 6: It means an.
- 43:17Speaker 3: Awful lot to me too. Thank you, Thank you very much,
- 43:20Speaker 3: and thank you and Chris for taking my call and
- 43:23Speaker 3: the rest of us, all.
- 43:24Speaker 11: Of our calls.
- 43:24Speaker 1: Thank you very much well, thank you, thank you for
- 43:27Speaker 1: saying that. It really means a lot.
- 43:28Speaker 3: So I got one thing, this thing with Dak. I've
- 43:32Speaker 3: stayed away from it and all year long, I've watched
- 43:35Speaker 3: it and whatever I've got my opinions I'm a Louisiana
- 43:38Speaker 3: boy too. Originally, uh. I was raised about twenty five
- 43:43Speaker 3: miles from where Dak was raised in Haughton. I was
- 43:45Speaker 3: raised a little town of Giblind, Louisianna, and very proud
- 43:49Speaker 3: of him. He's a native of my state at the
- 43:52Speaker 3: country boy, raising a small town, just like I was.
- 43:57Speaker 3: But as far as this money thing is concerned, I
- 44:01Speaker 3: look back and I admire the way Tom Brady handled
- 44:05Speaker 3: it when he was with the Patriots. He left some
- 44:09Speaker 3: coin on the table to spread around and get stronger
- 44:15Speaker 3: teammates and help the team as a whole. Dak's a
- 44:19Speaker 3: great quarterback. I wouldn't trade him for any other quarterback
- 44:21Speaker 3: in the league, but I don't think of these I'm
- 44:24Speaker 3: with Jerry Jones. Win me a damn super Bowl, and
- 44:27Speaker 3: then we'll talk sixty five million dollars until you do that, buddy,
- 44:31Speaker 3: fifty five fifty six, that's all you're gonna get, and
- 44:34Speaker 3: with that, I'll say goodbye.
- 44:35Speaker 4: All right, all right, thank you, Bob, Thanks for saying
- 44:38Speaker 4: those nice things earlier. As for the Dak situation, you know,
- 44:42Speaker 4: I think when Brady was doing that, his hand was
- 44:47Speaker 4: pretty shiny. Okay, I think he had a few rings
- 44:49Speaker 4: there when he was doing that, and it was all
- 44:51Speaker 4: about just getting more and being being the goat, which
- 44:54Speaker 4: it worked out for him. It's you know, and he
- 44:57Speaker 4: didn't care about the quarterback market. He didn't care about
- 45:00Speaker 4: what it looked like, what what you had to do
- 45:02Speaker 4: if he you know, So I don't know about taking
- 45:06Speaker 4: less money or how much less money he should take
- 45:08Speaker 4: hometown discount.
- 45:09Speaker 1: I don't know all that.
- 45:10Speaker 4: You know, the pressure that that Dak has, I mean,
- 45:13Speaker 4: all those wins that we just detailed, it's never been enough.
- 45:16Speaker 4: He's never been good enough. So he deals with a
- 45:19Speaker 4: lot more than anybody has to to deal with. And
- 45:22Speaker 4: you know, for him, it's it's it's worth being you know,
- 45:27Speaker 4: fairly compensated, if not even you know, higher than others.
- 45:30Speaker 4: So so I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I don't get into
- 45:33Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. What what Dak has to go
- 45:35Speaker 4: through was something I couldn't even imagine. So, you know,
- 45:39Speaker 4: he needs to be fair fairly compensated, if not way
- 45:43Speaker 4: higher than that. And I think that's kind of where
- 45:45Speaker 4: they're going to be. And I think it'll be fine
- 45:48Speaker 4: at the end of the day. I think he's going
- 45:49Speaker 4: to get his money, and I think it'll happen. I
- 45:51Speaker 4: still think it'll happen before the season starts. I'd still
- 45:53Speaker 4: believe that for Deck. Let's go, last call, Seth and
- 45:56Speaker 4: sugar Land, Texas.
- 45:58Speaker 9: Unbelievable. It's Friday, Junior, Nick. Thanks for having me on
- 46:02Speaker 9: again two days in a row. Love it Yeah, which
- 46:05Speaker 9: reminds me last time I was on. I know you
- 46:07Speaker 9: guys like to talk about favorite sports films, and so
- 46:11Speaker 9: today me being on twice in a row, two days
- 46:14Speaker 9: in a row, reminds me of my favorite quote from
- 46:16Speaker 9: one of my favorite movies, which is we've won two games.
- 46:20Speaker 9: If we win one more game, that's called a winning streak.
- 46:25Speaker 9: It has happened before, Marv. Tomorrow, I'll get it done.
- 46:31Speaker 7: Maybe we'll get it.
- 46:32Speaker 9: We'll bowl a turkey nice.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Well, it'll have to be Tuesday. That's our next show.
- 46:37Speaker 9: That's right next week on Tuesday. I'll give it a
- 46:39Speaker 9: call down. I wanted to say two things. One that
- 46:42Speaker 9: I'm excited about that I think could be a potential
- 46:44Speaker 9: opportunity with the new kickoff rule. And what I'm hoping
- 46:48Speaker 9: to see is for these kick return teams to potentially
- 46:53Speaker 9: bring in the option play. What we got one guy
- 46:56Speaker 9: flipping the ball to another. I think that would be
- 46:59Speaker 9: really an interesting if we saw something like that with
- 47:01Speaker 9: Turpin and Deuce Bond back there. Yeah, you know that
- 47:05Speaker 9: might be fun. You know that seems like something bone fossil,
- 47:08Speaker 9: would you know, maybe throw in there.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that for sure.
- 47:13Speaker 9: And the other thing is, I think I'm one of
- 47:15Speaker 9: the things I'm most excited about with the retooling of the
- 47:17Speaker 9: offensive line and our running back room is that I
- 47:20Speaker 9: think I think Mike McCarthy is going to build a
- 47:24Speaker 9: grind out style running game, which I think is something
- 47:27Speaker 9: that will deeply help Dax, who was an excellent play
- 47:31Speaker 9: action pass quarterback. His stats bear that out. He's one
- 47:34Speaker 9: of the best when he has a play action option
- 47:38Speaker 9: to his game. And I think that's going to open
- 47:40Speaker 9: up the passing game even more as well. And I'm
- 47:43Speaker 9: going to call around now. I'm in a big prediction yesterday.
- 47:45Speaker 9: I'm going to call it today City lamb eighteen hundred
- 47:49Speaker 9: yards fifteen touchdowns this season.
- 47:55Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. Here's what's funny about that.
- 48:00Speaker 4: Probably not wrong that that's a great it's a great comparison.
- 48:03Speaker 4: I mean it's a it's a great prediction, But you
- 48:06Speaker 4: just said that Mike McCarthy's going to have this grinded
- 48:09Speaker 4: out run running attack and then all of a sudden,
- 48:11Speaker 4: you've got a receiver go at eighteen hundred yards and
- 48:14Speaker 4: I don't know how many catches.
- 48:15Speaker 1: They both could be true.
- 48:17Speaker 4: I think the key is your stats are great when
- 48:21Speaker 4: it's when you have to get CD the ball. Can
- 48:24Speaker 4: he get open and make the play and make the catch.
- 48:26Speaker 4: And when you have to run the ball and you
- 48:28Speaker 4: have to run out the clock and win the game,
- 48:30Speaker 4: do you have the ability to do that. The best
- 48:32Speaker 4: teams are the ones that can do both. Get their
- 48:34Speaker 4: star receiver involved and run out the clock when they're
- 48:37Speaker 4: down the goal line, or run the ball, punch it in,
- 48:40Speaker 4: whatever you've got to do. The Cowboys need to be
- 48:42Speaker 4: both and the playoffs. Neither one existed in the playoff game,
- 48:46Speaker 4: and that's where they.
- 48:46Speaker 9: Got to get better at right. And I think it's
- 48:49Speaker 9: the It's the classic nineties style Cowboys offense, which is
- 48:54Speaker 9: throw early, run late, and I think that's what we're
- 48:57Speaker 9: going to see this year. I'm super excited about I
- 48:59Speaker 9: love the am I love you bringing the challenge back
- 49:02Speaker 9: to me, but I'm still calling my shot, Nick eighteen
- 49:05Speaker 9: fifty to fifteen touchdowns. Ceedee, lamb, It's going to be incredible.
- 49:09Speaker 1: Love it, I love it.
- 49:10Speaker 4: And in the nineties, I mean, you're saying that this
- 49:13Speaker 4: is what it was in the nineties.
- 49:15Speaker 1: Where's Emmitt?
- 49:16Speaker 4: That's all I'm looking for. You can find me an
- 49:18Speaker 4: emit or anything close to that. That that's great. I'm
- 49:20Speaker 4: not trying. I'm not trying to tear down everything. You're excited,
- 49:25Speaker 4: I'm excited, We're all excited. All I'm saying is is
- 49:27Speaker 4: that they just got to be able to do both.
- 49:30Speaker 4: If CD has sixteen hundred yards and he has one
- 49:34Speaker 4: hundred and ten catches, that's twenty five less than he
- 49:37Speaker 4: had last year. But the team runs the ball a
- 49:39Speaker 4: lot more. Remember, yards are going to go down because
- 49:42Speaker 4: field position is going to change. Kick returners are going
- 49:44Speaker 4: to happen. You're flipping kick return from deuce to turpin
- 49:48Speaker 4: around the corner. You're going to start at the fifty
- 49:51Speaker 4: a lot more times. You're going to have less yards.
- 49:53Speaker 4: So people have to remember that what's up with the yards?
- 49:56Speaker 4: Kick returns are going to take a lot of that.
- 49:58Speaker 1: With field positions.
- 49:59Speaker 4: But either way, just score parents, Just score some parents
- 50:02Speaker 4: at the end of the game, and it's all good.
- 50:08Speaker 1: Let's go. It must be football season, all right, seth,
- 50:13Speaker 1: all right?
- 50:14Speaker 6: Uh.
- 50:15Speaker 4: Shout out to Oklahoma they won the state challenge. If
- 50:19Speaker 4: we ever do that. Chris Beam, thanks for you running
