- 0:08Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:17Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Here's Nick Eatman, Hello and welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented
- 0:28Speaker 3: by Gellette. It is Wednesday, October the eighth. I'm Nick Eatman.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Let's stark Cowboy football, Cowboys and Panthers. If you want
- 0:37Speaker 3: to talk about the Jets, go right ahead. That was
- 0:40Speaker 3: a fun game. We'll talk about it for a couple
- 0:42Speaker 3: more days if you want to. But moving forward, Carolina,
- 0:47Speaker 3: Rico Dadell, he said, buckle up. I don't know. I mean,
- 0:51Speaker 3: I don't know if Kaylen Carson is going to be
- 0:53Speaker 3: out there. You know, he's the seat belt. I don't
- 0:55Speaker 3: think he is. But I think the Cowboys will be
- 0:57Speaker 3: ready to go for for Rico daddle and uh, not
- 1:00Speaker 3: to say that you know he won't be effective, but
- 1:03Speaker 3: you know, I do think the Cowboys run defense is
- 1:05Speaker 3: better than what Miami showed. And we'll see what kind
- 1:08Speaker 3: of game it is. I know this Miami scored what
- 1:12Speaker 3: they scored, twenty four points. I think the way Carolina's
- 1:16Speaker 3: defense is Cowboys are positioned to score more than that.
- 1:20Speaker 3: So the more that they score, the harder it's going
- 1:22Speaker 3: to be for Carolina to stay in their run game.
- 1:25Speaker 3: That that's going to be the key. But I got
- 1:27Speaker 3: to give them credit. They're down seventeen to nothing. The
- 1:29Speaker 3: Panthers were to the Dolphins and still had a two
- 1:31Speaker 3: hundred yard rusher. That's not easy to do. A lot
- 1:33Speaker 3: of times people try to change what they're doing, so
- 1:36Speaker 3: they stuck to that. So you know they're gonna run
- 1:38Speaker 3: the football. See if the Cowboys can stop it. Let's
- 1:40Speaker 3: go to the phone line Todaydada eight five five two
- 1:42Speaker 3: two ninety seven. Pete is in Connecticut's first off, what's up? Pete?
- 1:47Speaker 4: Hey?
- 1:48Speaker 5: Nick? How are you today?
- 1:49Speaker 6: Right?
- 1:49Speaker 3: How are you good?
- 1:51Speaker 5: I was just wondering what your thoughts were on trying
- 1:55Speaker 5: to re sign George Pickens and Jafonte Williams before the
- 1:58Speaker 5: season's over All? Right, thank you so much for picking
- 2:00Speaker 5: my call every good day.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Thank you. I'm sure you're on hold a lot longer
- 2:04Speaker 3: than the call. I appreciate that quick calls, good questions.
- 2:09Speaker 3: My thoughts on getting those guys done early. Well, we
- 2:16Speaker 3: all know George Pickens's agent's the same agent as Mike Parsons,
- 2:19Speaker 3: so it's not going to be easy. The more he
- 2:24Speaker 3: keeps catching touchdowns and the more not only is he
- 2:28Speaker 3: making plays, but he's the number one receiver right now,
- 2:31Speaker 3: And so I don't know if CD will be back
- 2:33Speaker 3: this week. I would think he probably would not be.
- 2:36Speaker 3: So that's another week where he's the number one guy,
- 2:39Speaker 3: and the money that they're looking at is to be
- 2:41Speaker 3: the number one guy. So I have a hard time
- 2:44Speaker 3: thinking that either they're not going to try to play
- 2:47Speaker 3: this out, and right now the asking prices is probably
- 2:50Speaker 3: really high. So I don't know if I would sign him.
- 2:55Speaker 3: If you could get a deal, sure, but I don't
- 2:58Speaker 3: think you're going to ask for Davonte Williams. No, I don't.
- 3:05Speaker 3: I wouldn't sign anybody right now. Just let's let this
- 3:08Speaker 3: thing play out and see it's it's a good five
- 3:10Speaker 3: games for both of them. But that's the kind of
- 3:14Speaker 3: stuff that's got the Cowboys in trouble in the past.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Not to say the bottom is about to drop out
- 3:19Speaker 3: for either one of those guys. But let's just play
- 3:22Speaker 3: it out. You don't have to do anything. I just
- 3:25Speaker 3: wouldn't be in a hurry. It feels like you're around here.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Just the luck the Cowboys have. Every time they sign
- 3:32Speaker 3: a guy, he gets hurt the next year or he
- 3:36Speaker 3: misses games. I mean, you just go back and look
- 3:38Speaker 3: at the last five or six years. Even Dak's first contract,
- 3:42Speaker 3: he got hurt with thumb injury. So after a big contract,
- 3:47Speaker 3: it's not going well with this team as far as
- 3:49Speaker 3: them not, you know, missing games and whatever. You can
- 3:52Speaker 3: even say Cavante Turpin this year. So I just wouldn't.
- 3:56Speaker 3: You don't have to. I wouldn't, And I don't think
- 4:00Speaker 3: you're going to get a deal out of it. That's
- 4:03Speaker 3: the thing. If you if you were going to get
- 4:05Speaker 3: a deal and go, why don't you just lock them
- 4:06Speaker 3: up now? I don't think that's gonna happen, So therefore
- 4:10Speaker 3: I wouldn't. Good question, it's good thought, but the way
- 4:13Speaker 3: it's all the dynamics of it, it just doesn't seem
- 4:17Speaker 3: to make the most sense to do that right now.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Robbie and Cocoa.
- 4:20Speaker 7: Beach, Florida, Hey, Nick, how are you today?
- 4:23Speaker 3: Good? How were you?
- 4:25Speaker 8: Man?
- 4:25Speaker 7: My kid and I had a great time someday, that's
- 4:27Speaker 7: for dang sure.
- 4:27Speaker 3: That's awesome. The best time in my life.
- 4:30Speaker 7: You know, you know, you got to get kids, lots
- 4:32Speaker 7: of them, lots and lots of them.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Right, I've never watched a Cowboy game with him.
- 4:37Speaker 9: That sucks.
- 4:38Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 4:39Speaker 7: We had hot wings. He had Fanta soda and I
- 4:42Speaker 7: had a beer and we had hot wings and watch
- 4:44Speaker 7: football is a great It.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Does sound like a good time and good win. What's that? Man?
- 4:50Speaker 7: I'm going to ask one question because you were just
- 4:52Speaker 7: talking about it really made me wonder and I thought
- 4:54Speaker 7: about it as Foor and haven't asked with David mu
- 4:59Speaker 7: and Ghetta being the same agent. Is that gonna throw
- 5:02Speaker 7: wrench in the gears? You can answer that one later
- 5:04Speaker 7: you think, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so too. Right,
- 5:07Speaker 7: I'm like, damn, this guy's gonna be.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Like, screw you, dud.
- 5:10Speaker 7: I'm not dealing with you, Jerry.
- 5:12Speaker 6: He's gonna go move on.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't say that. You say, to throw a
- 5:17Speaker 3: wrench into things? Yeah, I mean probably probably. He plays
- 5:20Speaker 3: hardball and he's you know, and I would say he's delusional.
- 5:25Speaker 3: But he I mean, he got he got them the
- 5:27Speaker 3: crazy contract for his client. Give them credit for that,
- 5:31Speaker 3: but you know, I did he did he handle it
- 5:36Speaker 3: the wrong way?
- 5:36Speaker 7: Sure, sure, I think everybody did want the truth.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Everyone did everyone. Everyone handled this poorly because Micah Parsons
- 5:44Speaker 3: is a generational player. He was drafted by the Cowboys.
- 5:47Speaker 3: They pretty much, I wouldn't say, lucked into it, but
- 5:50Speaker 3: they were very fortunate that nobody else saw that he
- 5:53Speaker 3: was a pass rusher. They got him where they got him.
- 5:55Speaker 3: They should he should still be here. It didn't work out,
- 5:59Speaker 3: and and he got his money. He's in Green Bay.
- 6:02Speaker 3: But you know, I think I think David Mullagetta, you know,
- 6:06Speaker 3: he did what he's supposed to do as an agent,
- 6:08Speaker 3: But did he handle it the right way? Absolutely not.
- 6:13Speaker 3: They all dropped the ball, they all, they all dropped
- 6:16Speaker 3: the ball in that one. So it's okay, sor right?
- 6:18Speaker 7: I agree, And that's what But my real questions for today. Sorry,
- 6:22Speaker 7: that was all a long winded for both of us.
- 6:25Speaker 7: So we got two first round picks coming from Green Bay.
- 6:29Speaker 7: I don't know if we should spend them and get
- 6:33Speaker 7: two people. Can you imagine we get two good first
- 6:35Speaker 7: round people on our defense that we trade to pick
- 6:38Speaker 7: for that are that good, that are young enough to
- 6:41Speaker 7: add for a couple of years. I don't even know
- 6:43Speaker 7: if there's players out there. But if there were, here's
- 6:46Speaker 7: the question, what two positions Assumingly from my point of view,
- 6:51Speaker 7: I'd say defense. What two positions on the team if
- 6:54Speaker 7: we added two first round talents to would get us
- 6:57Speaker 7: over the top and take us to a super Bowl
- 7:01Speaker 7: or good playoff at least. I'll listen to it off
- 7:03Speaker 7: there and let you uh, let you cook.
- 7:04Speaker 3: All right, thank you. I guess you're asking what to
- 7:09Speaker 3: positions from from the draft next year. I don't know, uh,
- 7:18Speaker 3: you know, defensive defensive end. I mean, another pass rusher,
- 7:21Speaker 3: if you can get and then again, you don't know
- 7:23Speaker 3: where you're gonna be picking, but I mean, if you
- 7:24Speaker 3: can get a pass rusher, sure, I mean they always
- 7:27Speaker 3: say that, you know, and you know, if it's a linebacker, great.
- 7:33Speaker 3: It may be time to be looking at a safety,
- 7:36Speaker 3: you know, a safety that can kind of be a
- 7:38Speaker 3: game changer a little bit. Sometimes those guys don't don't
- 7:40Speaker 3: don't go too high in the draft. So you can
- 7:43Speaker 3: get a really good safety. Just anybody, an impactful playmaker,
- 7:47Speaker 3: catalytic type guy on defense could could help you there.
- 7:50Speaker 3: So I mean, defensive tackle, defensive end. You know, just
- 7:55Speaker 3: just get a just get a good solid football player,
- 7:57Speaker 3: especially on defense because they rotate so many guys, So
- 8:00Speaker 3: even if you think you've got a starter, you can
- 8:02Speaker 3: still figure out a spot for him. All right, let's
- 8:04Speaker 3: go to the phones lines again. Dylan, he's in wichtrow Falls, Dylan.
- 8:07Speaker 3: What's up?
- 8:08Speaker 6: Hey?
- 8:10Speaker 3: How are you doing?
- 8:11Speaker 10: Pretty good?
- 8:12Speaker 3: Man?
- 8:12Speaker 11: How about yourself?
- 8:13Speaker 3: Great? Great?
- 8:15Speaker 8: I caught the end of that. What you were just
- 8:17Speaker 8: saying there, I'm not listening live. Were you saying something
- 8:19Speaker 8: about us drafting potentially a safety next year?
- 8:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think if you have two picks,
- 8:25Speaker 3: I think you're trying to get two good football players,
- 8:27Speaker 3: and so really good football players, and I don't think
- 8:30Speaker 3: anything would be off the table. Any position would be
- 8:33Speaker 3: off the table.
- 8:35Speaker 8: Yeah, anything, our first, our last. The last time we
- 8:39Speaker 8: took us safety in the first round was what Roy Williams.
- 8:43Speaker 8: I think that's right in two thousand and two or three.
- 8:46Speaker 8: I mean, that's a long time for us not to
- 8:48Speaker 8: go take a high end safety, but I mean we
- 8:50Speaker 8: always find a way.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Yeah, And that was that was the top ten. I
- 8:55Speaker 3: mean that was the eighth overall pick. So I don't
- 8:59Speaker 3: know if they've drafted one in the second round since
- 9:03Speaker 3: way back then. I mean I could be missing somebody,
- 9:06Speaker 3: but I mean, they haven't drafted a lot of safeties
- 9:09Speaker 3: that high.
- 9:10Speaker 8: It seems like we always gravitate towards really physical safeties,
- 9:13Speaker 8: like I mean, like Donald Wilson or JJ Willcox. You know,
- 9:18Speaker 8: really physical guys come out in the box. But we
- 9:20Speaker 8: just haven't had anyone that's elite just in the back end.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Yep, exactly. So what you got, I was just kind of.
- 9:29Speaker 8: Piggyback on kind of what I said last week. Last week,
- 9:32Speaker 8: I was saying I wanted to see Marquis Spell play linebacker,
- 9:34Speaker 8: but I know that might be off the table now
- 9:36Speaker 8: with Malik Hooker's injury and how many how many more
- 9:40Speaker 8: snaps do you think Shamar James is gonna get? I
- 9:42Speaker 8: just I know it's everything's getting pieced together on the fly,
- 9:45Speaker 8: But I really do think we need more speed at linebacker. Yeah,
- 9:48Speaker 8: some of these things are watching. I know Kenneth Murray
- 9:51Speaker 8: struggled and with Sam Borne out now, which I mean,
- 9:54Speaker 8: I know he's had a disappointing season and we've we've
- 9:58Speaker 8: all gave our piece about that, but you know there's
- 10:00Speaker 8: no one more disappointed in that than him himself.
- 10:02Speaker 11: So but I don't know.
- 10:03Speaker 8: What we got Jamar James and then over still coming
- 10:07Speaker 8: back just the monk playing time.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Well, I mean he played some, and he played in
- 10:13Speaker 3: that last game, but I mean, weren't you're asking for
- 10:17Speaker 3: speed many Yeah, it's not. And the thing is, it's
- 10:24Speaker 3: not even speed as it is just awareness, you know.
- 10:27Speaker 3: And I always I always remember this one video that
- 10:31Speaker 3: I watched as a kid growing up. It was called
- 10:34Speaker 3: NFL's Crunch Course. It was like from NFL films about
- 10:37Speaker 3: hitting and all that. And I remember a quote that
- 10:39Speaker 3: they would say about Dick Butkus, and he said, if
- 10:42Speaker 3: you asked him to run the forty, he would take
- 10:43Speaker 3: him three days. But if you went sideline to sideline
- 10:46Speaker 3: to get the ball career, nobody was faster than him.
- 10:49Speaker 3: And that just tells me right there that, you know,
- 10:52Speaker 3: football speed and awareness and getting to the ball is
- 10:55Speaker 3: just much different than just going out and running. And
- 10:58Speaker 3: so I think that's kind of what we're in with
- 11:00Speaker 3: Samborn and Murray and and you know, and and then
- 11:03Speaker 3: you know some of the other guys that Leah Foul
- 11:05Speaker 3: and Shamar James, I mean, they might fly to the ball,
- 11:08Speaker 3: they might not be going the right way, but you know,
- 11:10Speaker 3: if they're if they're getting there fast. They may not
- 11:12Speaker 3: make the tackle, but at least they're there. So there's
- 11:14Speaker 3: two different ways to slice that. Right now, Their linebacker
- 11:19Speaker 3: plays just not what it needs to be. We know that,
- 11:23Speaker 3: all right.
- 11:23Speaker 8: But the good thing is we have the grace with
- 11:25Speaker 8: the defensive line player right now. So right, just keep
- 11:29Speaker 8: you know, throwing things out and see if we can't
- 11:32Speaker 8: get a little bit more stability, a little bit more production.
- 11:34Speaker 8: But that's really all I have to day, Nick, all right.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Dylan to hold it down and which top falls for me?
- 11:40Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Savannah Georgia, Sebastian.
- 11:44Speaker 12: Martin, mister ivean hout he do.
- 11:46Speaker 3: I'm great, How are you doing.
- 11:48Speaker 12: I'm doing just fine. Look I work with with football
- 11:51Speaker 12: on my mind, but I got something else in my heart,
- 11:53Speaker 12: and this is going out to Randy and Textra Canna, right, okay.
- 11:57Speaker 12: Randy tis Can a few weeks back said that he
- 11:59Speaker 12: didn't want to talk about, you know, the condition that happened,
- 12:01Speaker 12: the curse that is cancer, because of Heiden wanted to
- 12:04Speaker 12: get old. And I'm I'll tell you right now, it
- 12:06Speaker 12: will never get old. Cancer is a curse that affects
- 12:08Speaker 12: you no matter what color, creed, partisanship, no matter what
- 12:12Speaker 12: you go through. But there's nothing more cowboy than beating cancer,
- 12:17Speaker 12: facing adversity and coming out with the win. That is
- 12:20Speaker 12: what we want for this team. And as someone who
- 12:23Speaker 12: lost somebody very special to me to cancer, I always
- 12:26Speaker 12: have to collect myself because every morning I wake up,
- 12:29Speaker 12: not having that person hurts me. So every single time
- 12:32Speaker 12: I see somebody is ringing that bell, I swept from
- 12:35Speaker 12: the eyeballs a little bit, not even gonna lie. So
- 12:37Speaker 12: I was so entirely happy to see that he made it.
- 12:40Speaker 12: But never think for a second that that is something.
- 12:43Speaker 12: So here's the question that I happened, yes, sir, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No.
- 12:48Speaker 13: Every time I talk about.
- 12:49Speaker 12: It, it's rough, it's rough. But here's the question to
- 12:52Speaker 12: add for you. Did you ever see or did you
- 12:56Speaker 12: ever think when you came up with the storyline, when
- 12:59Speaker 12: you know, when your pops told you, hey, creating storyliners,
- 13:02Speaker 12: did you ever see it being a community like this?
- 13:05Speaker 12: Because what you created, what you creat a misreatment is
- 13:07Speaker 12: something beautiful is coming to hang up and I listen.
- 13:09Speaker 3: All right, all right, Sebastian, Hey, I appreciate it. Whatever
- 13:13Speaker 3: you're going through today. I hope you get through it.
- 13:16Speaker 3: I know everybody's got their thing. We talked about it
- 13:18Speaker 3: the other day, but you know, it is a community.
- 13:23Speaker 3: It's amazing. And now you know, my dad had the
- 13:26Speaker 3: idea and then we kind of talked about it and
- 13:29Speaker 3: I looked at like that Paul Fine Bomb show and
- 13:32Speaker 3: what he was doing. It's a little different that that's
- 13:34Speaker 3: a little made for TV type thing, but it's kind
- 13:37Speaker 3: of similar to that, you know, just letting you guys
- 13:39Speaker 3: kind of ramp. He actually called it the story linebackers.
- 13:45Speaker 3: He thought it would be the storylinebackers. You guys are
- 13:47Speaker 3: backing the show. Storylinebackers. Storyliners kind of just took off.
- 13:52Speaker 3: But absolutely did not think of what it would do
- 13:57Speaker 3: to create like a community. I didn't. I never would
- 14:01Speaker 3: have dream dreamt that. And I think that you have
- 14:04Speaker 3: to credit certain people for that, and I you know,
- 14:08Speaker 3: I I irene uh Dylan, and there's others that I
- 14:13Speaker 3: apologize because I don't really know who all's doing what,
- 14:16Speaker 3: but I know those are the ones that have really
- 14:18Speaker 3: done a good job of connecting to everyone.
- 14:21Speaker 11: Uh.
- 14:21Speaker 3: Then then a group went out to camp this year
- 14:24Speaker 3: of seven. I'll be disappointed if it's not greater than
- 14:28Speaker 3: that next year, and it's just it's awesome. And I
- 14:32Speaker 3: never would have thought that. You know, Chris Bean Will
- 14:35Speaker 3: will see some guys and and we've met people down
- 14:38Speaker 3: you know, tailgates before or before you at the stadium.
- 14:41Speaker 3: He talked to a few people just the other day.
- 14:44Speaker 3: It's awesome. It's it's a really really cool thing. Never
- 14:46Speaker 3: would have dreamt that. Just kind of want to get
- 14:48Speaker 3: on here and let you guys talk about the cowboys,
- 14:51Speaker 3: and you know, I'll throw in my perspective, but to
- 14:54Speaker 3: take off the you know, the way it has and
- 14:58Speaker 3: you know, it's never probably gonna be our number one
- 15:00Speaker 3: show on here, our podcast, it's not. It's not. It's
- 15:03Speaker 3: a niche show. There's probably some fans that don't care
- 15:05Speaker 3: what other fans think, but for the ones that that have,
- 15:09Speaker 3: you know, really locked in, it's better than I could
- 15:12Speaker 3: have ever ever dreamt. So Sebastian, thanks for talking about that,
- 15:16Speaker 3: bringing that to light, and and uh, you know, we
- 15:19Speaker 3: just keep keep growing. I get excited when I see
- 15:22Speaker 3: first time callers, but I also get excited when the
- 15:25Speaker 3: captains and the regulars call too, because it's a healthy
- 15:28Speaker 3: mix of both. Speaking of there is one of the captains,
- 15:33Speaker 3: but not next. So let's go to Travis in San Antonio,
- 15:37Speaker 3: another regular on here since day one. Travis, what's up man, Nick?
- 15:41Speaker 14: How are you doing good?
- 15:42Speaker 3: How are you great?
- 15:44Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 15:44Speaker 14: It's great stuff. I'd never would have guessed the community
- 15:46Speaker 14: would be this big. I've been tweeting speaking, I've been
- 15:48Speaker 14: tweeting Irene back and forth just now with some stuff,
- 15:50Speaker 14: but just puoting ideas and things. So it's always great.
- 15:53Speaker 14: We're we're always doing constant communications. So I was gonna
- 15:57Speaker 14: tell you it is the number one show. I mean,
- 15:58Speaker 14: the Cowboys break has been the pretty fiery the last
- 16:01Speaker 14: couple of days, which I tweeted to Derek and you
- 16:03Speaker 14: liked it. But it's let's let's let's be honest. It's
- 16:05Speaker 14: the number one show.
- 16:07Speaker 3: I mean, hey, you guy. Everybody has their opinion and
- 16:11Speaker 3: and I get and here's here's what's awesome. Here's here's
- 16:13Speaker 3: what's great about what Derek has created with all these
- 16:16Speaker 3: these storylines, which is, you know, which is the reason
- 16:19Speaker 3: why Chris doesn't have enough sleep anymore. But it's that
- 16:22Speaker 3: there are probably, you know, a thousands of people people
- 16:25Speaker 3: out there that would say this show's number one, or
- 16:28Speaker 3: that show's number one, or Talking Cowboys is number one,
- 16:32Speaker 3: or Hanging with the Boys, you know. Uh, and and
- 16:35Speaker 3: we got a show for everybody. That's what's great about it.
- 16:38Speaker 3: This is the one that is a little bit more
- 16:41Speaker 3: for the fans. And so that's that's why you know
- 16:44Speaker 3: that you guys, you have a voice, and that's that's
- 16:47Speaker 3: what's so great about it. And you guys are really educated.
- 16:49Speaker 3: That's what's awesome. Guys are educated. You know what you're
- 16:52Speaker 3: talking about, and you bring the a game all the time.
- 16:54Speaker 14: So all right, well two things real quick, and I
- 16:57Speaker 14: let you take either one off the air. Kage, I
- 16:59Speaker 14: wanted to be a been the first on this. I'm
- 17:01Speaker 14: not the most overly religious guy, Nick, but I know
- 17:04Speaker 14: Joshua came after Moses, and since this Running Game has
- 17:07Speaker 14: been the best since Running Game Moses. In Bill Callahan,
- 17:10Speaker 14: I'm telling him Running Game Joshua. So I'm stamping that now.
- 17:15Speaker 14: And then I heard Stephen Jones comments yesterday about overshown
- 17:19Speaker 14: possibly coming back like right around or not too much
- 17:21Speaker 14: later than possibly the deadline trade deadline. So it got
- 17:24Speaker 14: me thinking, Nick, just imagine I think you believe that
- 17:27Speaker 14: momentum is real and good vibes are real. Imagine the
- 17:31Speaker 14: boost depending on how the next couple of games go
- 17:34Speaker 14: if you were to get over shown to come back
- 17:36Speaker 14: at that time and insert acquired player. We're not gonna
- 17:38Speaker 14: say names, but insert a choir player. Just imagine the
- 17:40Speaker 14: boosts I think this defense would get. And that has
- 17:42Speaker 14: me really thinking about not always get given up a
- 17:45Speaker 14: first round picnic, but maybe just somebody that could possibly help.
- 17:48Speaker 14: So let you go, and you guys have a great week.
- 17:50Speaker 3: All right, thank you? I love you. Know Running Running
- 17:53Speaker 3: Getting Moses was a nickname then, I know I came
- 17:59Speaker 3: up with for Bill Kellen handed and I think Broadus
- 18:02Speaker 3: has taken it. I don't know what Broadus has stolen
- 18:05Speaker 3: it that it is, but it's definitely mine. But we
- 18:09Speaker 3: talked about it all the time because that he was
- 18:11Speaker 3: just I mean, he would just change the whole thing.
- 18:13Speaker 3: I mean he could, he could resurrect the Running game.
- 18:17Speaker 3: And you're right, it hasn't really happened since then, so
- 18:21Speaker 3: I guess he's referring to Clayton Adams and those guys
- 18:25Speaker 3: at changing the Running game. You know, as long as
- 18:32Speaker 3: you're bringing in a player that can make an immediate
- 18:35Speaker 3: impact and that's what happens at the trade deadline. That's
- 18:38Speaker 3: why you do it. It can't be somebody you bring
- 18:41Speaker 3: in and he's like, well, you know, he's he's got
- 18:44Speaker 3: to get you know, he's got to learn the system,
- 18:46Speaker 3: and it takes a few weeks and he's not used
- 18:48Speaker 3: to playing this, and the next thing, you know, he
- 18:51Speaker 3: doesn't do a whole lot for you, and then then
- 18:53Speaker 3: he hits free agency at the end of the season
- 18:55Speaker 3: and you're like, was it worth it? So it's got
- 18:58Speaker 3: to be somebody if you're going to bring in a player.
- 19:01Speaker 3: And even if you don't spend a first round pick,
- 19:04Speaker 3: I mean, second round pick maybe, I mean that's that's
- 19:06Speaker 3: the position, that's the round that they're always taking risks anyway,
- 19:10Speaker 3: so it would be a risk to bring a guy
- 19:13Speaker 3: in like that. But yeah, if you feel like the
- 19:15Speaker 3: next few weeks that you're a contender, uh, then then
- 19:19Speaker 3: go for it, you know, and make make a move.
- 19:22Speaker 3: I don't you don't have to make, you know, the
- 19:24Speaker 3: biggest movie. You don't have to lose one of your
- 19:25Speaker 3: first round picks. But if an offer, you know, an
- 19:28Speaker 3: opportunity comes where you can get a really good player,
- 19:30Speaker 3: why not, All right, let's go to Irene in Falls Church, Virginia.
- 19:33Speaker 3: We talked about it earlier. Irene, what's up.
- 19:36Speaker 15: Hey, good morning. So I didn't get to listen, but
- 19:38Speaker 15: I but I know based on the last coup a
- 19:41Speaker 15: little bit of what you're saying that running game Joshua
- 19:43Speaker 15: was by Travis. Yeah, it sounds like that's awesome. So
- 19:49Speaker 15: looking at the Panthers, right, I'm trying to understand them
- 19:52Speaker 15: that they're they're very up and down, kind of like us,
- 19:56Speaker 15: but in a different way.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Are you talking about their history or you're talking about
- 19:59Speaker 3: this year? Right? Ah, they made it to a super
- 20:04Speaker 3: Bowl in the last twenty years and yeah, but they
- 20:09Speaker 3: haven't wanted anything.
- 20:10Speaker 12: Yeah, they have not have not.
- 20:13Speaker 3: But I will say this though, before you get to
- 20:15Speaker 3: your question. And I just you said you weren't listening,
- 20:17Speaker 3: but Sebastian had called in, and you know, he was
- 20:22Speaker 3: just he was really just praising the community that's been
- 20:26Speaker 3: created for this show and I and I just you know,
- 20:28Speaker 3: I wanted to make sure that you, you know what,
- 20:31Speaker 3: we give a shout out to you, Dylan and and
- 20:34Speaker 3: everyone that's kind of helped do that and connect the
- 20:36Speaker 3: dots all over the nation and the world. For for
- 20:40Speaker 3: you know, the storyliners, and so you get a big
- 20:42Speaker 3: credit for that. I think Sebastian might be going through
- 20:45Speaker 3: something today, but he called with a heavy heart and
- 20:47Speaker 3: it was really it was good to chat with him.
- 20:50Speaker 15: So well, you know, I'll check in on him because
- 20:51Speaker 15: that is however, so shout out to Sebastian, and of
- 20:55Speaker 15: course I'll listen back to the show. So sure, but
- 20:59Speaker 15: thank you. So I was looking at them right up
- 21:02Speaker 15: and down and I thought, oh no, they have like
- 21:05Speaker 15: five turnovers. But I realized that three of them came
- 21:08Speaker 15: in as a falcons. I don't and then that was
- 21:10Speaker 15: a shutout. That was just one of those weird games.
- 21:14Speaker 15: Outside of that, they haven't had a turnover the last
- 21:16Speaker 15: couple of games. They did the first two, so you know,
- 21:19Speaker 15: I don't. I don't know that I'm afraid. I was
- 21:21Speaker 15: a little worried about their defense. That's so I was
- 21:23Speaker 15: digging in. But I don't think I actually am unless
- 21:26Speaker 15: you know, we have a fluky game.
- 21:27Speaker 12: We have a fluky game.
- 21:29Speaker 15: But that is what it is. But is there something
- 21:32Speaker 15: I should be worried about on defense? I know we
- 21:34Speaker 15: wanted J. C. Horn during the Mica draft, but outside
- 21:38Speaker 15: of him, is there was. They also got the guy
- 21:41Speaker 15: that we couldn't trade for the defensive tackle. He seems
- 21:46Speaker 15: pretty good. Those are two concerns, I guess. And then
- 21:48Speaker 15: I had one.
- 21:50Speaker 5: I had a thought.
- 21:51Speaker 15: It's not really captain related, but I had it's a
- 21:54Speaker 15: completely different thing. I've always thought it would be hilarious
- 21:57Speaker 15: to do like superlatives like most likely to trigger NFL
- 22:02Speaker 15: collusion investigation whatever, you know, So that might be an
- 22:06Speaker 15: idea on that. And then has NKO called in since
- 22:11Speaker 15: we won, because I really want to know what he's
- 22:15Speaker 15: if he's upgraded. Shot he his name, So that's it.
- 22:18Speaker 15: I'll talk to.
- 22:19Speaker 3: You all right, thank you. No, I haven't. I haven't
- 22:22Speaker 3: heard from him. Yeah, you know I as far as
- 22:28Speaker 3: the captains go and all that. Yeah, I'm up for anything.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Yet y'all want to do or anything, you know, y'all
- 22:34Speaker 3: want to have fun with with different you know, because
- 22:38Speaker 3: storyliners and you guys starting to know each other real
- 22:40Speaker 3: well and you've met and it's really cool. So whatever
- 22:43Speaker 3: y'all want to do, kind of put that up to you, guys,
- 22:45Speaker 3: because I can't say I know that that many people
- 22:49Speaker 3: kind of can you know, gauge who they are and
- 22:52Speaker 3: what they're sort of like over the phone. But you know,
- 22:54Speaker 3: everybody's sort of different there. That's for the Panthers. You know,
- 22:59Speaker 3: any turnovers are going to always be are going to
- 23:03Speaker 3: affect this team, any team, and so you know, I
- 23:07Speaker 3: think from a talent standpoint, yeah, Okay, Carolina's got some players,
- 23:10Speaker 3: they got some ballers on defense, got to be careful
- 23:13Speaker 3: you go on the road, all of that stuff. But
- 23:17Speaker 3: you know, green Bay came in here with what looked
- 23:19Speaker 3: like one of the best defenses in the league. They dominate,
- 23:24Speaker 3: dominating opponents for two weeks. They played the Browns, their
- 23:27Speaker 3: offense didn't do much, but their defense was really good.
- 23:29Speaker 3: And then they come into Dallas and we know what
- 23:32Speaker 3: Mike is about to do and blah blah, blah blah,
- 23:34Speaker 3: and the Coway score forty. So if they without ceedee lamb.
- 23:38Speaker 3: So if they if they can do what what you
- 23:41Speaker 3: know we've been seeing them do, I don't know what
- 23:44Speaker 3: defense is really gonna slow them down. So the best
- 23:47Speaker 3: offense in the league right now, and they're doing it
- 23:50Speaker 3: with six guys, six starters from the Eagles game, I'm
- 23:55Speaker 3: gonna say Cavante was a starter and not Hunter Lipkey
- 23:57Speaker 3: I'm gonna say that three receivers, I call him a starter.
- 24:01Speaker 3: So you know, from that Eagles game, you had four
- 24:04Speaker 3: offensive linemen Cavante and cdeelamb that started that game and
- 24:10Speaker 3: now aren't playing for you and didn't play this last game,
- 24:13Speaker 3: and some of them haven't played in a while. And
- 24:16Speaker 3: to be the number one offense in the league, that's
- 24:19Speaker 3: a credit to the play calling, the offensive line, coaches
- 24:23Speaker 3: and everything, and then of course Dak and the running
- 24:26Speaker 3: game and what they've been able to do. All right,
- 24:28Speaker 3: just go to break real quick on Cowboy storyline.

- 26:34Speaker 3: to the phone lines. We're gonna go to Kansas City.
- 26:36Speaker 3: We're gonna stay in Kansas City for a little bit,
- 26:37Speaker 3: but we're gonna start with Casey Joe. He's in Kansas City.
- 26:40Speaker 3: What's up?
- 26:41Speaker 13: Good morning, Nick?
- 26:42Speaker 3: How are you doing today?
- 26:42Speaker 15: Third?
- 26:43Speaker 10: Right, I'm really good. I'm really good. I just got
- 26:46Speaker 10: off work. Hey. I was wondering which receiver out of
- 26:51Speaker 10: all the receivers out of CD picking Stirpin, FLINOI, Mingo,
- 26:54Speaker 10: and Tobert, which one's the fastest? I mean, I mean,
- 26:57Speaker 10: who has the best times? And I kind of think that, uh,
- 27:01Speaker 10: I really think Tolbert might be heading towards the bottom
- 27:04Speaker 10: of the list. I think Flinoy and Mago may have
- 27:06Speaker 10: beat him out.
- 27:08Speaker 3: You you didn't put Turpin in there, right? I mean?
- 27:11Speaker 1: Oh no, I did.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I put him as three as the fastest.
- 27:15Speaker 10: I know, which one do you think fastest out of
- 27:17Speaker 10: all the receivers, who has the best time?
- 27:20Speaker 3: Turpen's number one? For me? Turpin is the fastest. He's
- 27:23Speaker 3: kind of the one that's not as much of a
- 27:25Speaker 3: receiver as he is. Just let's figure out what to
- 27:28Speaker 3: do with this type of guy. Now he does he
- 27:30Speaker 3: plays receiver, he runs routes. He's done a really good
- 27:32Speaker 3: job there. But he's number one as far as speed
- 27:35Speaker 3: goes after that, man, I mean, you know, I always
- 27:41Speaker 3: always get surprised by these kind of things. Uh, you know,
- 27:45Speaker 3: like it could be Mingo, you know, going out of
- 27:47Speaker 3: the draft. I'm not really sure what any of the
- 27:50Speaker 3: of their of their combined numbers were. Tolbert is straight running,
- 27:58Speaker 3: you know. Flinoy, though, has got more speed than I
- 28:00Speaker 3: thought he had. I saw it, and it wasn't even
- 28:02Speaker 3: in this last game, as it was the week before
- 28:05Speaker 3: they did a couple of things in Green Bay, and
- 28:07Speaker 3: I thought, I mean I could just I could just
- 28:10Speaker 3: see how how fast he was. He's a big, strong guy,
- 28:12Speaker 3: but he could definitely move. I wouldn't be able to
- 28:16Speaker 3: tell you that. I'm not sure. I don't think CDs
- 28:20Speaker 3: up up there among those guys as far as just
- 28:23Speaker 3: straight speed. The thing about Pickens is, you know, okay,
- 28:28Speaker 3: he might have a fat who somebody might have a
- 28:30Speaker 3: faster forty but like catching the ball over the middle
- 28:34Speaker 3: and trying to get fifteen yards. I mean it takes
- 28:36Speaker 3: Pickens like four steps to do that. The stride is
- 28:39Speaker 3: just really really long for him. So you know, twenty
- 28:43Speaker 3: yard you shovel runs and things like that. For these receivers,
- 28:46Speaker 3: sometimes we were a lot more important quickness, acceleration, all
- 28:50Speaker 3: of that. It really comes down to to g O.
- 28:54Speaker 3: You know, get open. I mean Jason Witten, you know
- 28:57Speaker 3: he probably he probably didn't run the fastest forty times
- 29:01Speaker 3: he got open for seventeen years, so figure it out.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Get open.
- 29:05Speaker 7: Uh.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Speed is great, there's no doubt about it. It's a
- 29:08Speaker 3: game changer, but you know, it's it's who could run
- 29:12Speaker 3: the crisp routes, who can get open. Mark Cooper wasn't
- 29:14Speaker 3: the fastest guy, but he's maybe one of the best
- 29:16Speaker 3: route runners we've ever seen here. So, Uh, there's there's
- 29:19Speaker 3: more to it than just this speed.
- 29:21Speaker 9: Uh.
- 29:21Speaker 3: That's another way for me to say, I don't really know.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I don't know who's the fastest, But I'm also trying
- 29:26Speaker 3: to say that that's not the only thing that matters
- 29:29Speaker 3: when you're talking about receivers. All right, Staying in Kansas City,
- 29:32Speaker 3: we go to Bryan, Kansas City. What's up, Hey, Nick?
- 29:36Speaker 11: What's going on?
- 29:36Speaker 6: Man?
- 29:37Speaker 3: How are you?
- 29:38Speaker 11: I'm doing good, sir, I'm doing good. It's always good
- 29:41Speaker 11: to always good to see that we get we get
- 29:43Speaker 11: a couple of back to backs. That's every once in
- 29:45Speaker 11: a while. I'm always surprised when that happens. Yeah, yeah,
- 29:48Speaker 11: there's only two of us. Yeah, so hey, you know,
- 29:52Speaker 11: for this week, I was wondering and I agree with
- 29:55Speaker 11: with I think you wrote this article two weeks ago.
- 29:58Speaker 11: Listen to people say what would you do? What would
- 30:00Speaker 11: you do if you were going to do something. I'm
- 30:02Speaker 11: one hundred percent on board with defensive end. You know,
- 30:05Speaker 11: we need a pass rusher. That's the only thing we
- 30:08Speaker 11: can bring in that can be impactful pretty much right
- 30:13Speaker 11: from the start. And even clowning clown it took a
- 30:16Speaker 11: week to get on board. You know. It just you know,
- 30:19Speaker 11: depends on where they're coming from. If they're coming from
- 30:21Speaker 11: another team, they should be ready. But but you know,
- 30:24Speaker 11: knowing the scheme and all that. For this week, though,
- 30:26Speaker 11: I wanted to talk about, what do you think a
- 30:29Speaker 11: game like this? Ice Floys is probably going to have
- 30:31Speaker 11: another week where he's going to be in the mix,
- 30:35Speaker 11: and obviously Dak's got a ton of confidence in him.
- 30:38Speaker 11: If he has another game any point in the season
- 30:42Speaker 11: like he had this last week, does that give you
- 30:45Speaker 11: pause about paying big money to Pickens? And I'll hang
- 30:49Speaker 11: up and listen to that one.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Man, Well, I have I have pause about that anyways,
- 30:56Speaker 3: you know what I mean, And it's there's nothing I mean,
- 31:00Speaker 3: I'm not not to say that that it's it wouldn't
- 31:03Speaker 3: be worth it. But you just got to figure out
- 31:06Speaker 3: what your team needs. What's what's the smartest move here.
- 31:11Speaker 3: We've seen other teams do it. Philadelphia did it, you know,
- 31:14Speaker 3: I think Cincinnati right now, that's not a great example
- 31:18Speaker 3: either of their quarterbacks banged up. But as far as
- 31:21Speaker 3: you know, getting the most out of your out of
- 31:23Speaker 3: your playmakers, having two guys and relatively younger guys, you know,
- 31:28Speaker 3: maybe that's that's how they want to figure out the
- 31:31Speaker 3: offense because you know that they've already paid the tight
- 31:33Speaker 3: end and he's he's benefiting from from this, you know,
- 31:37Speaker 3: running game, he's benefiting from the play action. So I
- 31:42Speaker 3: I don't think it's a bad idea, But I don't
- 31:45Speaker 3: know if Ryan Flinoy is going to be the reason
- 31:47Speaker 3: why you do it or you don't. You know, I
- 31:49Speaker 3: think that Pickens is such a dynamic receiver. But I
- 31:54Speaker 3: get the nature of the question is, you know, do
- 31:56Speaker 3: you if you have these younger guys here, you already
- 31:59Speaker 3: pay one receiver, do you pay the other one? Again,
- 32:03Speaker 3: Let's just let this thing play out. I mean it,
- 32:06Speaker 3: it's early. It's early. They don't have to sign anyone
- 32:09Speaker 3: right now. And I think gone are the days where
- 32:14Speaker 3: where you're trying to sneak something past anyone and say,
- 32:17Speaker 3: let's just do it now, you know, and wait till
- 32:20Speaker 3: they These agents nobody to think about it like this.
- 32:25Speaker 3: No agent is a bigger fan of these players and
- 32:29Speaker 3: cheerleader for them other than maybe their their parents and
- 32:33Speaker 3: their wife or whatever. But this agent. If anyone thinks
- 32:38Speaker 3: that George Pickens is gonna go out and score a
- 32:41Speaker 3: touchdown every single game this year, he's gonna have one
- 32:44Speaker 3: hundred yards every game, and he's gonna set all kinds
- 32:47Speaker 3: of records, it's the agent. So if the Cowboys were
- 32:50Speaker 3: to call and say, hey, what do you think about
- 32:53Speaker 3: just getting this done now and avoiding free agency? All right, Well,
- 32:56Speaker 3: we're looking at a guy that's gonna have fifteen hundred yards,
- 32:58Speaker 3: one hundred catches, probably twelve fifteen touchdowns and make the
- 33:02Speaker 3: Pro Bowl First Team All Pro What what do you?
- 33:04Speaker 3: Here's the price for that And even though that's probably
- 33:07Speaker 3: not gonna happen, if it does, great, But that's what
- 33:11Speaker 3: the agent does right now. So you come to the
- 33:13Speaker 3: table right now. They they're projecting the best. That's why
- 33:18Speaker 3: it's not always easy to get some of these deals
- 33:21Speaker 3: done right now. In one of our text questions, Mike
- 33:23Speaker 3: from Boston says, the fact that Jerry has to deal
- 33:26Speaker 3: with the same agent represented Mike doesn't mean anything. The
- 33:30Speaker 3: Cowboys just signed Tyler Smith. He says, he's represented by
- 33:34Speaker 3: David Mullagatta. They're both the smart enough to know that
- 33:37Speaker 3: nothing is personal. It's always business. That's true. That part's true.
- 33:41Speaker 3: It is it's always business. You gotta remember, like this agency,
- 33:46Speaker 3: it's not just one guy. It's not just David Mullagatta.
- 33:49Speaker 3: He's in the athletes first organization. And I don't really
- 33:55Speaker 3: believe that that. I don't I don't think that was
- 33:59Speaker 3: that Tyler Smith's agent is not.
- 34:02Speaker 6: It.
- 34:03Speaker 3: Mullagedda is in there in that business, but it was
- 34:05Speaker 3: more Todd Franz Joe Panos, I believe in Pickens's agent
- 34:10Speaker 3: is listed to someone else. I think it's Andre odom
- 34:13Speaker 3: and Mullageda. So yeah, he's there, you know, and they
- 34:18Speaker 3: probably have some of the same rules and principles and
- 34:20Speaker 3: things like that, but it's not necessarily the same guy.
- 34:23Speaker 3: The only name we ever really heard out of Mike
- 34:25Speaker 3: was Mullageda. That's not necessarily the case. And even if
- 34:28Speaker 3: it was, like Mike is saying from Boston that, you
- 34:33Speaker 3: know money, money is different for every every contract different.
- 34:37Speaker 3: And Jerry even was asked that question, he said, I
- 34:39Speaker 3: don't think he's that sensitive. I think he he would
- 34:41Speaker 3: under to say that that just because there could be
- 34:44Speaker 3: hard feelings with this deal, that you're going to affect
- 34:47Speaker 3: it over here because you're not doing your your clients
- 34:50Speaker 3: the best service if you're if you're going that route,
- 34:52Speaker 3: all right, let's go. Let's go JR. And Avondale, Arizona.
- 34:58Speaker 6: More than Nick. How's everything in Dallas? Good?
- 35:00Speaker 3: How are you?
- 35:01Speaker 6: I'm doing great? Great weather out here this time of year.
- 35:04Speaker 3: What's the streak?
- 35:06Speaker 6: I think it's like nine days in a row. I
- 35:09Speaker 6: don't know. It's it's weird because I when I was
- 35:12Speaker 6: on vacation while I was still working out. But you know,
- 35:14Speaker 6: I would call sometimes two hundred times and never get through.
- 35:17Speaker 6: So I don't know. I'm just maybe I should get it,
- 35:20Speaker 6: go get a lottery ticket or got you got to ruin.
- 35:23Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know if I've seen anybody go
- 35:26Speaker 3: that that much before. I haven't done it. We don't
- 35:28Speaker 3: have I don't have like a storyline, fact and record
- 35:32Speaker 3: book or anything like that. I feel like Robbie and
- 35:35Speaker 3: Cocoa Beach, Florida had had a streak one time, six
- 35:38Speaker 3: or seven, but I don't Nine seems to be the most.
- 35:42Speaker 3: Let's just call it the record that's still going.
- 35:45Speaker 6: So love it, Stanning, I got a record, all right.
- 35:48Speaker 6: So I was looking at the Power rankings, and I
- 35:52Speaker 6: get it they're as worthless as mock drafts. But what
- 35:55Speaker 6: I really went through and looked at all the teams
- 35:57Speaker 6: the ranked above the Cowboys. It's really that none of
- 36:01Speaker 6: those teams I don't think the Cowboys would lose to.
- 36:04Speaker 6: They could win all those games, except maybe the Lions.
- 36:08Speaker 6: Now the Lions look like the Lions again, all of
- 36:10Speaker 6: a sudden back two weeks into the season. I'd have
- 36:13Speaker 6: told you that Green Bay and Baltimore were going to
- 36:17Speaker 6: be in the Super Bowl. But I don't think that
- 36:21Speaker 6: if this offense doesn't scare other teams, it should because
- 36:25Speaker 6: it's just going to get better. As long as Number
- 36:28Speaker 6: four stays healthy, that's really the key. So I look
- 36:32Speaker 6: for the Cowboys to stay at the bottom of the rankings,
- 36:38Speaker 6: and that's just fine because I'd rather be on the
- 36:43Speaker 6: outside looking in and surprising people. And so I just
- 36:47Speaker 6: want to talk about that. And then I had a question.
- 36:50Speaker 6: I know Booker's not on I are right, And so
- 36:56Speaker 6: you've got the Panthers game. Are we looking at that
- 37:00Speaker 6: Washington game? Is Cee the Turpin coming back? And I
- 37:05Speaker 6: think that's possible because neither one of those guys on
- 37:07Speaker 6: IR either. I guess that's something we're gonna find out
- 37:10Speaker 6: in the next couple of weeks. But is there a
- 37:12Speaker 6: possibility that Booker would be available back for that game?
- 37:16Speaker 6: I know they said six weeks or something, but yes,
- 37:20Speaker 6: or do we wait to see Booker after the bye week,
- 37:23Speaker 6: which is like four more weeks? So anyway, I just
- 37:27Speaker 6: want to.
- 37:28Speaker 7: Talk about that and have a great day and go
- 37:31Speaker 7: Cowboy all right, thanks for the call.
- 37:34Speaker 3: Yeah, Power rankings mean absolutely nothing at all. There's just
- 37:38Speaker 3: a it's just a thing for people to do that that,
- 37:41Speaker 3: you know, I think they know stuff. The reason why
- 37:45Speaker 3: I don't put a lot of stock into it is
- 37:47Speaker 3: that it's hard enough to try to figure out rank,
- 37:51Speaker 3: rank your best ten players here for the Cowboys. We're
- 37:53Speaker 3: all watching this one team, rank these guys here and
- 37:56Speaker 3: now to try to rank other teams around the league
- 38:00Speaker 3: and all that stuff, just figuring out trying to cover
- 38:03Speaker 3: I don't I don't believe anybody covers the NFL. I
- 38:05Speaker 3: really don't. I don't think anyone in the world covers
- 38:08Speaker 3: the NFL. They get a lot of help, they get
- 38:10Speaker 3: people that call them, we know the guys, but there's
- 38:13Speaker 3: nobody that really covers the league. So to have a
- 38:16Speaker 3: power ranking, nobody knows that. And also that it doesn't matter.
- 38:20Speaker 3: This isn't college football where you're trying to bid for,
- 38:22Speaker 3: you know, a spot in the playoffs. They got a
- 38:25Speaker 3: formula here in the NFL that figures out who makes
- 38:28Speaker 3: the playoffs, so it has your rankings mean absolutely nothing.
- 38:33Speaker 3: And Tyler Booker, he better not come back after the bye,
- 38:36Speaker 3: because if that's the case, you should have put him
- 38:38Speaker 3: on IR And I think he could come back. I
- 38:41Speaker 3: think he could play this week. He might, he may not,
- 38:44Speaker 3: But Washington's probably the game. You're gonna see a lot
- 38:48Speaker 3: of these guys back, CD being one of them, probably Booker,
- 38:51Speaker 3: maybe Tyler Smith as well. If Tyler Smith doesn't play
- 38:54Speaker 3: this week, we'll see about Turpend Geitten. But I would
- 38:58Speaker 3: imagine all those guys should be to play for Washington
- 39:02Speaker 3: and if not, definitely Denver. After that, let's go to
- 39:04Speaker 3: break here on Cowboys storyline. Be right back after this.
- 39:10Speaker 3: All right, Cowboys fans, this one's for you.

- 40:38Speaker 3: And by Gillette. Got a few more minutes here, Let's
- 40:41Speaker 3: go to the phone lines. Rick in Massachusetts, Rick, what's up?
- 40:45Speaker 19: Heynck call?
- 40:46Speaker 3: You do him good?
- 40:47Speaker 14: How are you all right?
- 40:51Speaker 19: A couple of things. One is, there was a question
- 40:54Speaker 19: out there that is, uh, what do you think it's
- 40:56Speaker 19: the most impactful pickup pick here? My thinking would be, uh,
- 41:03Speaker 19: Jamal Jamal.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Williams, Javonte Williams, Uh Williams, Sure, I mean, who are
- 41:13Speaker 3: the options? Davonte Williams, You another person would take a
- 41:19Speaker 3: I mean I would yeah, I mean they're both they're
- 41:23Speaker 3: both great right now? I mean I pickens. I would
- 41:25Speaker 3: say I would probably say, Pickens has been the best,
- 41:31Speaker 3: but Davonte Williams has been outstanding too, for sure.
- 41:35Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 41:35Speaker 19: My shoutouts for the last game would be then their
- 41:38Speaker 19: backup offensive blind, you know, and the Adams and Riley
- 41:43Speaker 19: and I'll just Shoddy.
- 41:45Speaker 6: Uh.
- 41:46Speaker 19: The unsung hero of that game would be for me,
- 41:48Speaker 19: it would be why Florinoy.
- 41:51Speaker 3: Well, Flinn Flinoy played is he played a great game,
- 41:54Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it. And he looks like a
- 41:56Speaker 3: guy that could be a really really good player. Uh,
- 41:59Speaker 3: still young, still growing, but I still think he could
- 42:01Speaker 3: be a really good player down the road.
- 42:04Speaker 19: And you know, you know, to may get back in
- 42:09Speaker 19: or not. But I was gonna say the Cowboys I'm
- 42:11Speaker 19: gonna beat up in Carolina. It's gonna be like a
- 42:14Speaker 19: twenty eight to fourteen or something.
- 42:16Speaker 3: Like that, all right, And you know what, I think
- 42:20Speaker 3: Carolina is going to be better. I think I think
- 42:22Speaker 3: they're going to play better than we've seen in the past.
- 42:25Speaker 3: But I still think it's a definitely it's a winnable
- 42:27Speaker 3: game for the Cowboys. All right, thanks for the call.
- 42:33Speaker 3: All right, let's go. Let's go with another phone call here.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Jeremy in Salt Lake Jeremy, what's up?
- 42:39Speaker 12: Hey?
- 42:40Speaker 4: What's going on?
- 42:40Speaker 7: Nick?
- 42:41Speaker 3: How are you doing?
- 42:42Speaker 12: I'm doing good.
- 42:43Speaker 13: I'm doing good.
- 42:43Speaker 4: We're doing great. Man. It's a great win on Sunday.
- 42:46Speaker 4: Everybody's happy, honky dory, everybody's talking about all the positive
- 42:51Speaker 4: things this week. Sebastian put a little lump in my
- 42:53Speaker 4: throat earlier, but I'm good now. But yeah, that was
- 42:58Speaker 4: a pretty cool call. I want to get to the
- 43:01Speaker 4: running game. And this is something that's always been near
- 43:06Speaker 4: and dear to my heart. I've said it on the space,
- 43:08Speaker 4: as I've said it on here before. When the Cowboys
- 43:11Speaker 4: can run the ball and run the ball consistently, all
- 43:16Speaker 4: of our best teams all throughout history have always been
- 43:19Speaker 4: good running teams. You know, that's the way we win.
- 43:23Speaker 4: And you know, having Javonte, these coaches, I don't know
- 43:29Speaker 4: what the exact special sauce is, but having everybody together
- 43:34Speaker 4: has really made a huge difference for this team. The
- 43:36Speaker 4: biggest thing I think in Dak this year is he
- 43:39Speaker 4: looks comfortable in the pocket, do you know what I mean?
- 43:43Speaker 4: Like sometimes in the past, Nick, like even when he
- 43:47Speaker 4: get pressure, sometimes you'd see him press or be kind
- 43:50Speaker 4: of nervous or kind of you know, just not as comfortable.
- 43:54Speaker 4: And I think that's the biggest difference in this team
- 43:57Speaker 4: for this year is just Dak's comfort. It seems like
- 44:02Speaker 4: he's kind of reminded me of Romo in those last
- 44:04Speaker 4: few years, you know what I mean. It just seems
- 44:07Speaker 4: like he's finally like hit another level and understands everything
- 44:12Speaker 4: a lot better. And he's just the main word is comfortable.
- 44:16Speaker 4: As long as we keep him comfortable, I think we're
- 44:19Speaker 4: you know, he's in the running for m VP this year.
- 44:22Speaker 4: I've just done and we'll get rid of all the
- 44:26Speaker 4: Dak haters this year. But I think, you know, he's
- 44:29Speaker 4: just been outstanding and that running game is a big
- 44:31Speaker 4: part of it. I'll get off and thanks for all
- 44:33Speaker 4: you do and shout out to everybody, Sebastian, all those
- 44:37Speaker 4: in the community. Man, it's been great.
- 44:39Speaker 3: Thanks for sure. Thank you so much, Jeremy for the call.
- 44:43Speaker 3: And you're right, you know, we haven't said this phrase
- 44:47Speaker 3: in a while, but it's it we should because Dak friendly.
- 44:52Speaker 3: Remember when when they would use that term, you know
- 44:56Speaker 3: about the offense and and and and how the design
- 45:00Speaker 3: the offense. Well that's what this is right now. And
- 45:03Speaker 3: with with what Schottenheimer has has done and and it's
- 45:08Speaker 3: I'm not saying that the other guys didn't do that.
- 45:10Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's not what was it McCarthy's offense
- 45:13Speaker 3: and all that, But I just think Schottenheimer has a
- 45:16Speaker 3: really good feel for the fact that you know what
- 45:20Speaker 3: Dak likes, what what what works for him. And remember
- 45:25Speaker 3: this is a first year coach, okay, and so just
- 45:28Speaker 3: like some of the others that you're seeing around the league,
- 45:31Speaker 3: and you see the Ben Johnson's and Aaron Glenn's and
- 45:34Speaker 3: all these others that are first year coaches. But the
- 45:37Speaker 3: difference is Schottenheimer was here. He was here working with that,
- 45:41Speaker 3: he was the offensive coordinator, he was a consultant here.
- 45:44Speaker 3: He knows the quarterback and the quarterback knows him. So
- 45:48Speaker 3: that is an advantage that you're seeing here. Yeah, he
- 45:51Speaker 3: might be, you know, new to the call, the play
- 45:54Speaker 3: calling and all that, but not new to the quarterback
- 45:56Speaker 3: and what he likes to do. Let's go one more
- 45:58Speaker 3: caller here, Chris and Sam and Angelo is next and.
- 46:01Speaker 13: Last, Hey, mister Nick, hope you're doing well today, are you?
- 46:05Speaker 13: I'm well, buddy.
- 46:06Speaker 16: Hey.
- 46:07Speaker 13: I love the vibe of the show today, I just
- 46:08Speaker 13: wanted to add some real quick for me in the community.
- 46:13Speaker 13: I'm not one that ever reaches out for anything, but
- 46:17Speaker 13: I'll just add that if I ever was several people
- 46:21Speaker 13: in this community, I would not hesitate. So I'll just
- 46:25Speaker 13: leave that there. Okay, on the trade part, I would
- 46:32Speaker 13: kind of wait. I like what you're thinking. What if
- 46:34Speaker 13: there's a scenario where the cowboys actually perform and play
- 46:39Speaker 13: their way out of needing a major trade with some
- 46:44Speaker 13: of the guys getting better and I'm coming back. I'm
- 46:48Speaker 13: just gonna see what you thought about that, buddy.
- 46:49Speaker 3: I like what you're saying there. Thank you for the call,
- 46:52Speaker 3: and thanks for the first part too. If if that
- 46:55Speaker 3: has happened, and it actually has, I know this, the
- 47:00Speaker 3: fact that there have been relationships, friendships, bonds that are
- 47:06Speaker 3: formed because of this show, then then this is a
- 47:10Speaker 3: better creation than we could have ever imagined. Okay, numbers
- 47:14Speaker 3: and and talking to you guys and all that, it's
- 47:17Speaker 3: all great, but it doesn't it doesn't really pale in
- 47:20Speaker 3: comparison to that. And so that that's happening, then that's
- 47:24Speaker 3: something we didn't foresee. But it's the best part of it,
- 47:27Speaker 3: especially for people like Randy who have people, you know
- 47:30Speaker 3: that reach out on him, and not just not just him,
- 47:33Speaker 3: but others that are going through different things. You guys
- 47:35Speaker 3: know that you guys know each other better than I do.
- 47:38Speaker 3: So if that's happened because of the show, then that's
- 47:41Speaker 3: better than I could have ever thought to ask. To
- 47:45Speaker 3: answer your question, it's a good thought too. And and
- 47:49Speaker 3: we don't say this a lot. You you kind of
- 47:51Speaker 3: play your way out of a need. I think though
- 47:54Speaker 3: that they would always say, you always need great players.
- 47:58Speaker 3: And if the situation pops up, you know, just look
- 48:00Speaker 3: at what the Eagles are doing. Eagles get a lot
- 48:02Speaker 3: of credit for the way they've handled things. They've been
- 48:05Speaker 3: a good team for a while. Opportunities pop up, they
- 48:08Speaker 3: go for it, doesn't you know, just because you have
- 48:10Speaker 3: a good team and a good record and all, that
- 48:12Speaker 3: doesn't mean you don't go and try to get better.
- 48:15Speaker 3: So if they were to trade and I know what
- 48:19Speaker 3: you're saying, do we really need to trade a pick?
- 48:21Speaker 3: Do we need that? You trade it if it's if
- 48:25Speaker 3: it's better than what you think you're gonna get. If
- 48:27Speaker 3: you're like, this guy is a first round player, we
- 48:30Speaker 3: can re sign him. It won't be that much more
- 48:34Speaker 3: on the cap, and we can go ahead and get
- 48:37Speaker 3: a player and lock him up for four or five years.
- 48:40Speaker 3: He's ready to roll, ready to make an impact, maybe
- 48:42Speaker 3: better than getting a pick in the mid to late twenties.
- 48:46Speaker 3: Then why not and do it, especially knowing you've got
- 48:48Speaker 3: another one. But it's got to be for the future.
- 48:50Speaker 3: It can't just be to try to help you this
- 48:52Speaker 3: year and then we'll see after that. If you're doing that,
- 48:55Speaker 3: if you're renting a guy, then you know you're not
- 48:58Speaker 3: spending more than I would think of fourth round pick
- 49:00Speaker 3: or something like that. All right, great show, guys, it's
- 49:04Speaker 3: a lot of fun, a lot of good calls to think.
- 49:07Speaker 3: Chris mc ivor Beam for coming in and fixing I
- 49:11Speaker 3: messed up the headset. He comes flying in, does it.
- 49:14Speaker 3: I mean he's a pit crew guy. That's what he does.
- 49:17Speaker 3: He can do anything ten twelve seconds. If that's a
- 49:20Speaker 3: good thing, all right, appreciate it. Good stuff. We'll do
