- 0:09Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:18Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Here's Nick Eatman. Hello and welcome to Cowboys Storyline presented
- 0:30Speaker 2: by Gillette. I'm Nick Eatman. Let's talk some Cowboys football.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Not the best game the Cowboys fans have seen last week.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Definitely a tough loss to the Carolina Panthers, one where
- 0:44Speaker 2: you never really got a good sense of how the
- 0:46Speaker 2: game was going. Early on, after an interception touchdown and
- 0:50Speaker 2: it was ten to three, you kind of thought, maybe,
- 0:53Speaker 2: you know, the Cowboys would would figure out the running
- 0:56Speaker 2: game and you know, either figure out how to run
- 0:58Speaker 2: the ball and stop the run, and neither thing ever materialized.
- 1:03Speaker 2: They never did find a groove in the running game,
- 1:06Speaker 2: which hurt him down in the red zone. Yes, they
- 1:08Speaker 2: moved the ball around, but in the red zone they
- 1:11Speaker 2: stalled twice settled for field goals that proved to be
- 1:13Speaker 2: a difference in the game there. And then obviously, you know,
- 1:17Speaker 2: the Panthers ran the ball whenever they wanted to and
- 1:19Speaker 2: then play action at time and made Bryce Young look
- 1:24Speaker 2: like a better quarterback than he is, and then they
- 1:26Speaker 2: ended up winning the game and made Rico Dad a
- 1:28Speaker 2: little better running back than he probably is, even though
- 1:31Speaker 2: he's running really well, but not to that tune that
- 1:34Speaker 2: shouldn't be the norm. So tough loss for the Cowboys.
- 1:38Speaker 2: They could pick up the pieces this week. See what
- 1:40Speaker 2: happens when they take on Washington. The Commanders had a
- 1:43Speaker 2: very tough Monday night loss for them as well. Probably
- 1:45Speaker 2: should have won the game but didn't, So it happens.
- 1:48Speaker 2: We'll see what happens here at at and T Stadium.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels and that crew comes back
- 1:52Speaker 2: to town. All right, let's talk about it here eight
- 1:54Speaker 2: a A eight five five two two ninety seven. Let's start.
- 1:57Speaker 2: We're gonna stay in Kansas City here. We're gonna start
- 1:59Speaker 2: with Bryan in Kansas City, Brian, what's.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Up, Good morning, sir?
- 2:03Speaker 2: How are you good?
- 2:04Speaker 1: Man?
- 2:05Speaker 4: Hey? So, thank god the NFC East is coming back
- 2:08Speaker 4: to us. We'll take we'll take. We'll take all those
- 2:11Speaker 4: losses we could that they can provide to.
- 2:14Speaker 5: Give us a chance.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Right, yeah, So I think, you know, I think my
- 2:18Speaker 4: one question today is everybody wants us to go out
- 2:22Speaker 4: and get you know, make trades and use our capital.
- 2:25Speaker 4: And and I'm I'm for that too. I think we
- 2:27Speaker 4: need I think the only thing we can do now.
- 2:29Speaker 4: We can't get a Mike linebacker now, but we could
- 2:31Speaker 4: get it. We could get somebody who can rush the passer,
- 2:34Speaker 4: you know, but right now without that, what other thing
- 2:38Speaker 4: could eber Flus do that he's not already doing that
- 2:43Speaker 4: might make a change. So and I think the answer
- 2:46Speaker 4: is we got a blitz more than the game.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's it.
- 2:51Speaker 4: That's that's my only question, man, I'll talk to you later.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. That's the answer. That'd be my answer
- 2:57Speaker 2: if you said, what's your favorite Fortnite game? Blitz, Whether
- 3:00Speaker 2: you think the Cowboys need to do blitz same thing,
- 3:03Speaker 2: blitz get after them because you can't get there with four.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the problem. Nobody wants to do that.
- 3:09Speaker 2: No nobody that has a great pass rush on their
- 3:13Speaker 2: own ever really has to to dial up a blitz.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And therefore you got more guys back there to cover,
- 3:18Speaker 2: and you're gonna have a great defense. But when you
- 3:20Speaker 2: don't have that, when you don't when your your guys
- 3:23Speaker 2: up front just can't win off the off the ball.
- 3:26Speaker 2: They can't. Then we we know this, and and and
- 3:29Speaker 2: these guys that's why they're kind of available. I mean,
- 3:33Speaker 2: look look at the guys that that they have on defense.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Most of these guys have have been especially from a
- 3:40Speaker 2: pass rusher standpoint, And you look at Fallor, and you
- 3:42Speaker 2: look at Clowney, you look at Houston. These guys have
- 3:46Speaker 2: been with other teams. It's they flashed, you know, a
- 3:49Speaker 2: little bit here and there, but for the most part,
- 3:51Speaker 2: they you know, they they moved on to other teams,
- 3:53Speaker 2: or their teams moved them on, whatever, whatever the case
- 3:56Speaker 2: may be. So you're talking about Jerneyman pass rusher and
- 4:01Speaker 2: players where you know the Cowboys, you know, there hasn't
- 4:04Speaker 2: been a ton of consistency and there's not a lot
- 4:06Speaker 2: of consistency in the pass rush. So that's something that
- 4:09Speaker 2: the Cowboys are gonna have to to manufacture. We talked
- 4:12Speaker 2: about this on Monday Show that that you know, in
- 4:15Speaker 2: the Eagles game in the Week one, they didn't have it.
- 4:17Speaker 2: So they figured out ways. The blitz, whether it be
- 4:19Speaker 2: the corners coming here and there, somebody's got to do it.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Marris Leah foul blitz the other day against Carolina got home.
- 4:26Speaker 2: There was only I think five blitz is in the game,
- 4:28Speaker 2: which is unbelievable to me because I'm I'm probably blitzing
- 4:33Speaker 2: three or four times a series if it goes that long.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I think if you if you blitz five times in
- 4:39Speaker 2: a series, it's not gonna be that long because they're
- 4:42Speaker 2: either going to score or you're gonna make it play
- 4:45Speaker 2: with their scoring anyways, that's the problem. They're scoring anyway.
- 4:48Speaker 2: So this it's not really a bend, but don't break.
- 4:52Speaker 2: It's just bending. That's that's what's happening here. All right.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Casey Joe in Kansas City is next, Casey Joe, Good morning.
- 4:59Speaker 6: How are you this morning?
- 5:00Speaker 2: How are you?
- 5:01Speaker 6: I'm good, sir, I'm good.
- 5:03Speaker 7: Hey.
- 5:03Speaker 6: How was your treatment Carolina?
- 5:04Speaker 2: Was it good?
- 5:05Speaker 6: Did they treat you right?
- 5:06Speaker 8: No?
- 5:06Speaker 2: They didn't. They did it. I was fine. I didn't
- 5:09Speaker 2: get the brunt of it. Other people that are on
- 5:12Speaker 2: other shows here they dealt with it a little bit
- 5:15Speaker 2: more surprisingly, But but that just goes to show that
- 5:19Speaker 2: it's it sucks down there in Carolina. They won the game.
- 5:23Speaker 2: This isn't sour grapes, but we've you know, been there
- 5:26Speaker 2: before when the Cowboys dominated them and and they sucked
- 5:30Speaker 2: down there in Carolina. So it's not my favorite place
- 5:33Speaker 2: at all. So no, it wasn't a great trip.
- 5:36Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
- 5:36Speaker 8: Brother.
- 5:37Speaker 6: Well, at least Washington decided to be the copy yet
- 5:41Speaker 6: league and you know, lose by a field goal, just
- 5:44Speaker 6: like us. They just wanted to be like us.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if it makes you feel better
- 5:48Speaker 2: or if it's just like what another wasted opportunity. I mean, like,
- 5:51Speaker 2: you know, because you got to beat Carolina on the road,
- 5:53Speaker 2: and if you can't beat Carolina on the road, you
- 5:55Speaker 2: know it's going to be tougher, and it is going
- 5:56Speaker 2: to be tougher than that. That just seems like a
- 5:59Speaker 2: very winnable game. And so when when you see the
- 6:01Speaker 2: Eagles lose and see Washington lose, it's like, well, at
- 6:04Speaker 2: least it's not that bad. But you also think of
- 6:06Speaker 2: it like, man, you gotta you gotta take care of business.
- 6:09Speaker 2: When the door was open like that, we'll.
- 6:12Speaker 6: Have a good day, Chris is telling we gotta hurry
- 6:13Speaker 6: so I'll have.
- 6:16Speaker 9: This week.
- 6:16Speaker 2: That was your only question, can't Oh, I have a
- 6:19Speaker 2: whole bunch of questions, but.
- 6:21Speaker 6: Quick, quick, quick, I was going to ask you if
- 6:24Speaker 6: you think they're going to give out one or eleven
- 6:27Speaker 6: think slips. I'm like, it's Era is going to go?
- 6:29Speaker 6: Is the whole defense?
- 6:30Speaker 2: Okay? All right, well they can't. Thanks for the call.
- 6:33Speaker 2: I don't think either one at the moment.
- 6:35Speaker 7: Uh.
- 6:35Speaker 2: You know, Jerry got asked about it on Tuesdays the
- 6:38Speaker 2: radio show, and Steven Jones have been asked about it
- 6:40Speaker 2: as well. They don't doesn't seem like they're they're willing
- 6:43Speaker 2: to make a move from coaching personnel at the moment.
- 6:48Speaker 2: But you know, you, I think the first thing you
- 6:50Speaker 2: gotta do is is is trick some things up and
- 6:53Speaker 2: and and if you're not going to do that, then
- 6:55Speaker 2: then I think I think you do have to make
- 6:57Speaker 2: a move. If your coaches isn't not going to to
- 7:00Speaker 2: change what he's doing, then then you got to change
- 7:03Speaker 2: the coaches. But right now, I think you see what
- 7:06Speaker 2: what happens and see if they if they're willing to adjust,
- 7:09Speaker 2: That's what great coaches do. They adjust, They adjust to
- 7:12Speaker 2: what the situation is. They they fit the scheme around
- 7:16Speaker 2: their players and instead of trying to fit the players
- 7:18Speaker 2: into the scheme. That's what we've seen so far. And
- 7:22Speaker 2: if they keep doing it then, I mean, especially from
- 7:25Speaker 2: a from a zone defense standpoint, it's it's pretty predictable
- 7:28Speaker 2: of what your team's gonna do, and it's you're not
- 7:30Speaker 2: getting any pass rush, then you'll just sit there all
- 7:33Speaker 2: day long, and you're gonna let guys like Hunter and
- 7:35Speaker 2: Froh just go across the middle and make plays. And
- 7:38Speaker 2: and and he's a good route runner. I'm not saying that.
- 7:41Speaker 2: I'm just saying anybody, anybody could probably get open. I
- 7:43Speaker 2: think me and Chris could get open. Uh, if you
- 7:46Speaker 2: give us a few seconds maybe, I don't know. But
- 7:48Speaker 2: if you give us a few seconds, well, I mean
- 7:50Speaker 2: that's the nature of the NFL. You can get open.
- 7:53Speaker 2: So there's no pass rush. And so if there's no
- 7:55Speaker 2: pass rush, then then you the zone doesn't doesn't really work.
- 7:59Speaker 2: And man de manage not gonna work either if you
- 8:00Speaker 2: don't get any pass rush. But at least that way
- 8:03Speaker 2: you can blitz and you can use somebody in that
- 8:06Speaker 2: zone to get closer to the line of scrimmage. All right,
- 8:08Speaker 2: Raza is in the Assandria Virginia Raza, what's up?
- 8:11Speaker 10: Hey, what's up?
- 8:13Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 8:13Speaker 10: Just I'm doing good? How about you?
- 8:15Speaker 11: Good?
- 8:16Speaker 12: Good?
- 8:17Speaker 10: So, yeah, it was a tough loss. You know, it
- 8:19Speaker 10: just sucks that our offense has to play almost perfect
- 8:23Speaker 10: to get the wins, to get these wins, which is tough,
- 8:25Speaker 10: and no offense is going to always play perfect, even
- 8:28Speaker 10: though Dak has been playing fairly well. And then what
- 8:32Speaker 10: I've been seeing, I don't know if you see this
- 8:34Speaker 10: too when you watch film, is like what I heard
- 8:37Speaker 10: from the other radio shows is a lot of players
- 8:40Speaker 10: are playing like hero ball and not staying like in
- 8:43Speaker 10: their alignments and stuff like that. I feel like that's
- 8:45Speaker 10: been an issue for us for the past couple of years.
- 8:48Speaker 10: And then I just have two questions real quick. One
- 8:51Speaker 10: is Brad. It's a little off topic, but Brad Shams
- 8:55Speaker 10: always says walk the dog. Do you know what, like
- 8:58Speaker 10: what that term means when people get a touchdown? He
- 9:00Speaker 10: says walk the dog.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Not really, I mean, like that's just a guess. It
- 9:06Speaker 2: means like it's easy, you know, or something like that.
- 9:10Speaker 2: I have no idea. I've never really asked him. That's
- 9:12Speaker 2: just kind of his phrase, but I think it's kind
- 9:14Speaker 2: of like just on a Sunday stroll or something. I'm
- 9:17Speaker 2: not really sure. I haven't asked him that, Okay.
- 9:20Speaker 10: And then my other question, I'll take it off air.
- 9:23Speaker 10: Do you see like us making like a trade? Like,
- 9:26Speaker 10: do you sense a trade maybe happening to help the defense?
- 9:30Speaker 10: Me personally, I would just like to just stick with
- 9:33Speaker 10: what we have and just you know, fight it out.
- 9:36Speaker 10: But I want to hear if you sent something happening.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Thank you, all right, thank you? Res you know I do.
- 9:42Speaker 2: Actually I see them making a trade. I don't know.
- 9:45Speaker 2: I don't have any specific players or I haven't heard
- 9:48Speaker 2: that or anything like that. But the reason why I
- 9:51Speaker 2: can see that happening is is your offense is too good.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Dak is playing too too good right now to just say, man,
- 9:58Speaker 2: let's see see how it goes. Get these picks. These
- 10:01Speaker 2: picks have to develop to you're gonna get late round
- 10:03Speaker 2: first picks or mid to late whatever it's gonna be.
- 10:06Speaker 2: And and you're gonna get two of them, and they're gonna,
- 10:09Speaker 2: you know, take some time to develop. And I think
- 10:11Speaker 2: when you when you look at there's nothing that's a guarantee,
- 10:14Speaker 2: you know, even if you pick up another Mazie Smith,
- 10:16Speaker 2: another Tyler Guidon, another Tyler Smith, all of those guys
- 10:20Speaker 2: need to develop. So I think the way your quarterback
- 10:24Speaker 2: is playing and the way this offense is right now,
- 10:27Speaker 2: I think it would be a shame to not try
- 10:29Speaker 2: to go and do something to help it. Because if you,
- 10:32Speaker 2: if you help this this defense just a little bit,
- 10:35Speaker 2: who said this Monday, just a tad where you're getting
- 10:38Speaker 2: off the field a couple times more, where you know,
- 10:41Speaker 2: seven points here, four points here. I mean, if you
- 10:45Speaker 2: give me, if you give me seven points a game
- 10:47Speaker 2: off off every score, I mean, I think the Cowboys
- 10:50Speaker 2: are four and one or five and one or whatever
- 10:53Speaker 2: that would be. So that's not reality. But my point
- 10:57Speaker 2: is is that that's how close it is, and that's
- 10:59Speaker 2: how good you're are offenses. So that's why I think
- 11:01Speaker 2: I would I would make sure and not waste this.
- 11:04Speaker 2: And I think if there's a move to be made,
- 11:06Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys will look for it. All right,
- 11:07Speaker 2: let's take a break here on Cowboys storyline. I'd be

- 12:43Speaker 1: To Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave of
- 12:49Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys.
- 12:53Speaker 2: All right back here on Cowboys Storyline, Let's get straight
- 12:56Speaker 2: to the phones again. We got Jr. And Avandale Arizona Jr.
- 13:00Speaker 8: Are how you doing doing great?
- 13:02Speaker 11: How's everything in Dallas?
- 13:03Speaker 2: Good?
- 13:04Speaker 11: Well, we got I got back from the ledge yesterday.
- 13:07Speaker 11: It's a week to week league. We're two plays out
- 13:10Speaker 11: of first place, so I'm happy about that. Nobody saw
- 13:15Speaker 11: those games last night who who won and who lost?
- 13:17Speaker 11: So it's week to week. We got a shot. I
- 13:20Speaker 11: just wanted One thing I want to say is that
- 13:24Speaker 11: looking at the defense. Last thing I'm gonna say about
- 13:26Speaker 11: defense is that looks like ebri Flus is playing chess,
- 13:29Speaker 11: trying to teach these guys to play chess. And I
- 13:31Speaker 11: think we need to change the game to checkers, make
- 13:34Speaker 11: it simpler and try to try to win some games.
- 13:38Speaker 11: And the one question for you, is Kaylan Carson going
- 13:41Speaker 11: to play this week to the night to see him
- 13:43Speaker 11: in there instead of Elim. That's all I got. Have
- 13:46Speaker 11: a great day, go to war.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Thanks for the call. I think Klin Carson is supposed
- 13:52Speaker 2: to be activated, at least that's what it sounds like.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Stephen Jones was saying Mingo as well, you know, I
- 14:00Speaker 2: just I've never really seen a lot out of Kayln
- 14:03Speaker 2: Carson to be excited about it. You know, he's every
- 14:07Speaker 2: time he's got an opportunity to play, either he hasn't
- 14:11Speaker 2: played that well or then he gets hurt. So you know,
- 14:13Speaker 2: I know he had he had a little bit of,
- 14:15Speaker 2: you know, a good training camp as a rookie. A
- 14:18Speaker 2: lot of that was expectations too, based off of you know,
- 14:21Speaker 2: fifth round pick, and then here he is and he
- 14:23Speaker 2: has a pretty good training camp. But we'll see, I mean,
- 14:27Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, he gives you something more than than Elim.
- 14:31Speaker 2: He hasn't played in a long time, so I didn't
- 14:34Speaker 2: play any preseason games of course, and so he's he's
- 14:37Speaker 2: been banged up. You know, we'll we'll see what what
- 14:39Speaker 2: he can provide.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Uh.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Same with with Mingo as well. Played a little bit
- 14:44Speaker 2: more and see how they how they do that because
- 14:46Speaker 2: they got some receivers going to be activated this week obviously,
- 14:49Speaker 2: CD and turpins so and and the thing about the
- 14:54Speaker 2: chess versus checkers. The reason why I think dan Quinn
- 14:59Speaker 2: was such a great coordinator is he simplified it for
- 15:02Speaker 2: the defense very easily, but yet it was it was
- 15:05Speaker 2: not easy for offensive coordinators and offensive opposing offenses to
- 15:09Speaker 2: beat it. That's that's the key, because you can you
- 15:11Speaker 2: could say I've got this, I've got this really easy
- 15:14Speaker 2: defense for our players to understand. Well, guess who also
- 15:17Speaker 2: knows about it? That that offensive coordinator who's watching you
- 15:20Speaker 2: for six days in a row leading up to it,
- 15:23Speaker 2: and and then you know what I mean, like you
- 15:24Speaker 2: can kind of figure it out. So the best coordinators
- 15:26Speaker 2: are the ones that make it easy for your players
- 15:29Speaker 2: and hard for the opponents to figure out. And so
- 15:32Speaker 2: that's that's the key that I think that they've got
- 15:34Speaker 2: to find that balance. All right, let's go to Atlanta
- 15:37Speaker 2: for our next call. G in Atlanta, Good.
- 15:40Speaker 9: Morning, Nick.
- 15:41Speaker 4: How are you doing well?
- 15:42Speaker 9: But I'm well And I'll forgive me if you already
- 15:45Speaker 9: answered this question man Booker is I haven't heard anything
- 15:50Speaker 9: about Booker. How long would uh will it be for
- 15:53Speaker 9: him to come back, and I just heard you say
- 15:55Speaker 9: Turperens coming back as well. But I have another question
- 15:59Speaker 9: on how why does Donovan Wilson continues to get left
- 16:05Speaker 9: in coverage all the time. Why don't I know he's
- 16:09Speaker 9: both to be a box safety for us? Yeah, we
- 16:11Speaker 9: haven't man covered a lot man, So I just get
- 16:14Speaker 9: offline and here.
- 16:15Speaker 15: As on that.
- 16:16Speaker 2: It don't have a great answer for you on that one.
- 16:19Speaker 2: I mean, he's the safety. They like to be interchangeable safeties,
- 16:24Speaker 2: but it really isn't the case though. Hooker was more
- 16:26Speaker 2: of your free safety and Donovan your strong safety. Donovan
- 16:30Speaker 2: makes you know, he'll make some plays, he gets some interceptions,
- 16:35Speaker 2: but he's not He's not the best in coverage. He's
- 16:37Speaker 2: on the ground a lot. It feels like I see
- 16:39Speaker 2: him slipping and falling, you know, just things things like
- 16:44Speaker 2: that he needs to be closer to the line of scrimmage.
- 16:47Speaker 2: They don't have a ton of options at safety They've
- 16:49Speaker 2: got I mean, jan Ye Thomas, I think is a
- 16:51Speaker 2: little bit more of your of your free safety. He's
- 16:55Speaker 2: been okay. I mean I think he's been pretty good
- 16:58Speaker 2: since since he's he's gotten in there. But yeah, Donovan,
- 17:02Speaker 2: I made their comparison yesterday to Roy Williams, and it's
- 17:07Speaker 2: very similar. You know, the the big hits, tone setting plays,
- 17:11Speaker 2: can get some turnovers around the ball, can make some
- 17:15Speaker 2: big tackles, big hits, but gives up some, you know.
- 17:18Speaker 2: And that's what mismatches are. They're mismatches for both sides
- 17:22Speaker 2: of the ball. Asked for your question about Booker, he's
- 17:26Speaker 2: he could be back this week. And Booker, Turpin and
- 17:29Speaker 2: CD are three guys that that Schottenheimer said they're hopeful
- 17:33Speaker 2: will return this week, so that that would be a
- 17:36Speaker 2: big plus to get him back out there. All right,
- 17:38Speaker 2: let's go to Dylan Northport, Florida.
- 17:40Speaker 16: Dylan, Hey, Nick, So yesterday called in a little hot
- 17:46Speaker 16: my bag. I didn't need to be that out an accident,
- 17:49Speaker 16: but you challenge me, and you got me thinking a
- 17:51Speaker 16: little bit instead of giving up on the defense. You know,
- 17:52Speaker 16: there's a couple of things I want to do just
- 17:54Speaker 16: that instantly, hopefully improved. I'm not sure if I've seen
- 17:57Speaker 16: the willingness from Fluke to do these things, but I'm
- 18:00Speaker 16: keeping Wanyan mixing into Marky's bell.
- 18:02Speaker 4: I'm keeping Donald out.
- 18:03Speaker 16: Of coverage when possible, playing in close to the line,
- 18:06Speaker 16: I'm gonna play a lot more man with Diggson Bland
- 18:09Speaker 16: because if I'm gonna lose, I'm gonna lose doing what
- 18:11Speaker 16: I do best, and that's man covered with Dickson Bland.
- 18:13Speaker 16: I'm gonna stop getting cute right. And then lastly, we
- 18:16Speaker 16: got to get a fast rush. So I'm blitzing the
- 18:18Speaker 16: heck out of my linebackers and they're coming more often
- 18:20Speaker 16: than not. That's what's raising to skyrocket. I just want
- 18:23Speaker 16: to get your thoughts on what you would do yes
- 18:25Speaker 16: to maybe instantly through the defense.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Yeah, well thanks, thanks for the call of Dylan and
- 18:29Speaker 2: anybody that didn't hear you know, yesterday everybody was frustrated
- 18:33Speaker 2: on the Monday Show. Everybody was frustrated. And all I
- 18:37Speaker 2: was kind of saying was is because your offense is
- 18:40Speaker 2: so good, and it really is. Can score a lot
- 18:42Speaker 2: of points that and it's keeping you in these games
- 18:45Speaker 2: that I'm not asking for a lot. You're not getting
- 18:47Speaker 2: beat twenty four to three every week, You're getting beat
- 18:50Speaker 2: at the buzzer, You're gonna beat last play of the game,
- 18:52Speaker 2: last drive, things like that. So you know that's why
- 18:56Speaker 2: I was like, let's see about fixing a couple of things. Tweaks,
- 19:00Speaker 2: tweaks and alterations can make the biggest difference here. That's
- 19:04Speaker 2: how close things are, and that's why I'm not ready
- 19:06Speaker 2: to just give up and say it's not going to
- 19:07Speaker 2: be better now. I like what you're saying. I like
- 19:09Speaker 2: all of those things. I think that the linebackers are
- 19:13Speaker 2: going to have to be the ones to blitz. Maybe
- 19:15Speaker 2: Donovan Wilson, you know, you want to keep them close
- 19:17Speaker 2: to the line of scrimmage. There's nothing closer than that
- 19:19Speaker 2: but them on the other side of the line of
- 19:20Speaker 2: scrimmage for blitz. But whatever it is, it's got to
- 19:23Speaker 2: be mixing it up. You've got to know. I'm not
- 19:26Speaker 2: sure who's going to be come and win and where.
- 19:29Speaker 2: That's the biggest key. That's what we've got to figure
- 19:31Speaker 2: out here. Let's go to Sebastian and Savannah Georgia real quick.
- 19:35Speaker 15: Oh no, I was good morning, mister, even How you
- 19:37Speaker 15: doing good?
- 19:38Speaker 2: How are you?
- 19:39Speaker 15: I'm doing just frying.
- 19:39Speaker 17: Listen.
- 19:40Speaker 15: I wasn't mad Monday. I was fine. I listen the
- 19:42Speaker 15: words for the profit. Rico Dotto, buckle up because this
- 19:47Speaker 15: is the season that we're in for. We got a
- 19:49Speaker 15: preview of this against the Jets. They just didn't stick
- 19:52Speaker 15: to the run game. We had a guy coming in
- 19:54Speaker 15: off of a two hundred yard rushing game. That was
- 19:56Speaker 15: their game plan. That was their entire game plan. So
- 20:00Speaker 15: what's that being said? First question is this, have you
- 20:02Speaker 15: ever had a season where every game was fifty to fifty?
- 20:06Speaker 15: And then second, this is for Cowboys Nation. See I
- 20:10Speaker 15: see a lot of people being mad at Brian Schwanheimer
- 20:12Speaker 15: for how what he's saying in the press conferences. He
- 20:14Speaker 15: can't say anything else. You can't be like, oh my gosh, listen,
- 20:18Speaker 15: I didn't think that Jerry was going to trade my
- 20:19Speaker 15: best player at the beginning of the season. I didn't
- 20:21Speaker 15: think that this defensive coordinator was going to be a
- 20:24Speaker 15: net at putting people in the right position. Because every
- 20:26Speaker 15: time you look at Donovan Wilson and the TV zooms
- 20:29Speaker 15: in on him, he looks confused, and I'm like, why
- 20:31Speaker 15: is he twenty yards off the ball? Donovan Wilson is
- 20:34Speaker 15: a box of safety. That's said, I'm gon, hang up
- 20:37Speaker 15: and listen.
- 20:37Speaker 2: You have a great guys, All right, Well, I appreciate
- 20:41Speaker 2: that you know that you say that about Donald Wilson
- 20:44Speaker 2: because I do think he is close to line of scrimmags.
- 20:46Speaker 2: The only thing I will say about that turned immediately
- 20:48Speaker 2: to twenty twelve. Twenty twelve was a year they were
- 20:51Speaker 2: eight and eight. I found an eight and eight year
- 20:53Speaker 2: because that's the kind of games you're playing. Thirteen games
- 20:56Speaker 2: will play one score or less, and about eight of
- 20:59Speaker 2: those were three points or less. So that's another season
- 21:02Speaker 2: you look at that finished eight and eight. It's gonna
- 21:04Speaker 2: break real quick on Cowboys storyline. Be right back after this.

- 22:22Speaker 2: All right, back here on Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette
- 22:27Speaker 2: in the Quiet Podcast studio. Here all I got is
- 22:31Speaker 2: you guys, which is good. All right, Let's give a
- 22:34Speaker 2: shout out to uh Chris Bean because this shout out
- 22:37Speaker 2: for sure for him. He's doing a good job running
- 22:39Speaker 2: the phone lines. Let's get Casey in La going k C.
- 22:44Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, how's it going good?
- 22:45Speaker 2: How are you?
- 22:47Speaker 8: I'm pretty good, considering it was really disheartening on Sunday
- 22:52Speaker 8: to watch how many times for five or more yards
- 22:57Speaker 8: without even being touched this Scott share that stuff up
- 23:02Speaker 8: and then with the pass carde if we can't get there,
- 23:04Speaker 8: I agree with you, man. Let's let's start sending some blitzes.
- 23:07Speaker 8: If we can't cover when we're in protection, we might
- 23:10Speaker 8: as well try to heat up the opposing quarterbacks. A
- 23:12Speaker 8: couple of weeks on there, hopefully we can figure this
- 23:15Speaker 8: thing out, because nobody is running away with the NFC
- 23:18Speaker 8: right now.
- 23:19Speaker 2: No, definitely not. And uh, all right, thanks for the call.
- 23:23Speaker 2: You know, you do have Washington coming up this week,
- 23:25Speaker 2: and you know, I think blitzing Bryce Young in Carolina,
- 23:30Speaker 2: he's not going anywhere, you know, especially if you blitz
- 23:33Speaker 2: kind of from inside the pocket. He's gonna back up,
- 23:35Speaker 2: back up, and he's gonna throw it away. I mean,
- 23:37Speaker 2: he's not gonna really hurt you that much with his legs.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Jane Daniels certainly can. So you send the house and
- 23:44Speaker 2: you don't get home, or you miss the tackle because
- 23:48Speaker 2: he's a big guy that there's gonna be some problems there.
- 23:51Speaker 2: But you got to take take your chances there. I mean,
- 23:54Speaker 2: you're gonna have to do that because if you just
- 23:57Speaker 2: sit back and I don't know the nature of their injuries,
- 24:01Speaker 2: I know that Terry McLaurin didn't play. I'm always one
- 24:04Speaker 2: to think they they return for the Cowboys. I mean,
- 24:07Speaker 2: that's just the way it always seems to be. I'm
- 24:10Speaker 2: not saying he's returning for the Cowboys, it just just
- 24:13Speaker 2: seems like they usually come back, you know. But Washington
- 24:16Speaker 2: can say the same thing. Oh, of course CD's coming
- 24:18Speaker 2: back this week. Yeah, well he is. He's been being gone.
- 24:21Speaker 2: You know, he's going to be a wide receiver, only
- 24:24Speaker 2: I would imagine, you know, keep him at the receiver spot,
- 24:28Speaker 2: let him run routes, and keep him away from the
- 24:30Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. All right, Irene, False Church, Virginia's next, Irene, Hey.
- 24:34Speaker 19: Good morning. Okay, one worry and one hope sit the
- 24:38Speaker 19: locker room.
- 24:38Speaker 6: I'm a little worried on.
- 24:40Speaker 19: The defensive side of the ball when you hear, Okay,
- 24:42Speaker 19: we're not going to make a change at head coach.
- 24:44Speaker 19: The players have to execute better, which is true, But
- 24:48Speaker 19: you know, I worry about where what happens there in
- 24:50Speaker 19: the rift, and I hope that Shody can intervene and
- 24:53Speaker 19: bridge some sort of gap and at least maybe make
- 24:57Speaker 19: I don't know, some suggestions for players to be put
- 24:59Speaker 19: in better positions. And then I hope watching deyondre Swift
- 25:02Speaker 19: get that pass and run. I really hope we can
- 25:06Speaker 19: actually get Jayden Blue that kind of play instead of
- 25:10Speaker 19: just running up the middle and see if it's speaking
- 25:12Speaker 19: take advantage of that week's defense.
- 25:14Speaker 2: All right, all right, well you're you're obviously there and
- 25:18Speaker 2: close to uh, Commander country if that's if that's a thing.
- 25:24Speaker 2: But you know a lot of Washington fans there and
- 25:27Speaker 2: they're going to be, you know, pumped up for this one.
- 25:29Speaker 2: And it's always going to be, you know, a good game.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Uh.
- 25:32Speaker 2: And it has been the last few times they've played
- 25:35Speaker 2: and the Cowboys, and they went down to the very
- 25:37Speaker 2: last play both times. I thought the Cowboys outplayed them
- 25:40Speaker 2: twice and and and it was that that made me
- 25:42Speaker 2: think that, you know, I don't know if Washington was
- 25:45Speaker 2: really that good last year. I mean, and that's that's
- 25:47Speaker 2: not a knock on them. They won a lot of
- 25:50Speaker 2: close games and you have to give them credit for that.
- 25:53Speaker 2: But I thought that this might be a season where
- 25:56Speaker 2: they take a step back a little bit. You know,
- 25:59Speaker 2: they caught in a bottle. Go back and look at
- 26:01Speaker 2: some of those games. I mean, even just the loss
- 26:03Speaker 2: to Dallas was like the one few loss that they
- 26:06Speaker 2: had that it was really close. They had some two
- 26:08Speaker 2: point conversions that they made at the last minute and
- 26:10Speaker 2: and and you know that they've kind of played that
- 26:12Speaker 2: way and then they ended up losing one that they
- 26:15Speaker 2: probably shouldn't have, you know, and and you know, Jayden Daniels,
- 26:20Speaker 2: that was a costly fumble for for them and for
- 26:25Speaker 2: my fantasy team. But that's okay, that's all right, I guess.
- 26:28Speaker 2: But that's that's what happens. That's how close these games are.
- 26:31Speaker 2: And this one, that's what Seotty said yesterday. He said,
- 26:34Speaker 2: I can promise you this is going to come down
- 26:35Speaker 2: to the fourth quarter. This one Carolina did we lost.
- 26:38Speaker 2: We got outscored ten three. We lost in the fourth quarter.
- 26:40Speaker 2: This game will come down to the fourth quarter. And
- 26:42Speaker 2: and what do they do? They're all right? Phone lines
- 26:45Speaker 2: are open here on Cowboys storyline on a Tuesday. We
- 26:47Speaker 2: say be quick, be quick, and here we are. The
- 26:50Speaker 2: phone lines are open. Who can get there first? We
- 26:52Speaker 2: do have a text question here from Mike in Boston.
- 26:55Speaker 2: He says, Dak has three years left on his contract.
- 26:57Speaker 2: We need to take advantage of how well he's playing.
- 27:00Speaker 2: All the defense needs to be is middle of the pack.
- 27:02Speaker 2: We have enough talent. I think we could get there.
- 27:05Speaker 2: We need to change the scheme. Have two All Pro corners.
- 27:07Speaker 2: We have serve serviceable array of defensive line. Hopefully Demo
- 27:12Speaker 2: comes back healthy. His window should be opening soon, which
- 27:16Speaker 2: is a twenty one day window, which you know they're
- 27:19Speaker 2: they're hopeful that he can get back. I don't think
- 27:22Speaker 2: he's the answer. I mean, I don't think he's a savior,
- 27:25Speaker 2: is what I'm really I'm trying to say. I think
- 27:27Speaker 2: he's a really good player. I don't think he's the savior.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Though he hasn't played in a while. He's gonna need
- 27:33Speaker 2: to kind of get it going again, so we'll see,
- 27:37Speaker 2: we'll see how he does. But I agree with you, Mike.
- 27:39Speaker 2: I said this a little bit earlier in the show
- 27:41Speaker 2: when I was asked to I think they will make
- 27:43Speaker 2: a trade, and I do think the Cowboys will do
- 27:46Speaker 2: something to go for it here that nobody's running away
- 27:50Speaker 2: from things in the NFC East. You still have the
- 27:53Speaker 2: ability to make the playoffs, and you and and then
- 27:57Speaker 2: you just want to get into the playoffs. I mean
- 27:59Speaker 2: that's the thing. Like you can make all your jokes
- 28:03Speaker 2: if you want to about well what happens to them playoffs?
- 28:05Speaker 2: All I know is that you have a quarterback that's
- 28:08Speaker 2: been there. He'll be his tenth year, and you get
- 28:11Speaker 2: in the dance, anything can happen, especially if you can
- 28:14Speaker 2: be a physical team that could run the ball. They
- 28:17Speaker 2: did not run the ball well Sunday, they didn't. Can
- 28:20Speaker 2: they run the football? Yeah, they can. They can, And
- 28:23Speaker 2: I don't think that they're stopped now from running the football.
- 28:26Speaker 2: I think especially when you put Turpin, you put CD
- 28:29Speaker 2: in there, that's going to be even tougher for teams.
- 28:31Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think if CD's in the game,
- 28:33Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys win that one. I really do.
- 28:35Speaker 2: As well. As Pickens was playing who you know who
- 28:39Speaker 2: on the other side, that would they have tried to cover.
- 28:42Speaker 2: And I think they would have had to change their defense,
- 28:44Speaker 2: and I think that the running game they would have
- 28:46Speaker 2: been more balanced. That's what I think CD and Turpin
- 28:49Speaker 2: will add to this offensive offensive team, and I think
- 28:52Speaker 2: Booker adds that as well. All Right, we got some
- 28:54Speaker 2: callers now, William in West Virginia, William, what's up og?
- 28:57Speaker 2: What's up?
- 28:59Speaker 7: Og?
- 28:59Speaker 12: Back in house?
- 29:00Speaker 9: How are you doing that?
- 29:01Speaker 2: Good man? How are you?
- 29:02Speaker 20: I'm hanging in there. Tough game Sunday, but I got
- 29:05Speaker 20: to it.
- 29:06Speaker 10: It's just I just got to hope the.
- 29:08Speaker 20: Defense turns it around at some point. Had a couple
- 29:11Speaker 20: of questions for you if you got a second for
- 29:14Speaker 20: first one centers on mil Phil Maffa. I mean, I
- 29:16Speaker 20: know they're down to two backs right now. I really
- 29:18Speaker 20: liked him in pre season. Do you think he could
- 29:20Speaker 20: be brought up anytime soon? And on a defensive note, Harvey.
- 29:25Speaker 9: Martin I saw was again eligible for.
- 29:27Speaker 20: The Senior Committee for the Hall of Fame. Do you
- 29:29Speaker 20: think that he finally clears the hurdle this year? Because
- 29:32Speaker 20: I would love to see him at Tooth Dog As
- 29:34Speaker 20: you know how old.
- 29:34Speaker 5: I remember walking and got in the rhyme.
- 29:36Speaker 20: So I mean, but you know, I might be starting
- 29:39Speaker 20: your own senior version of the storyline. Start Senior Storyline Group,
- 29:43Speaker 20: I guess. But yeah, I want to get your take
- 29:45Speaker 20: on that.
- 29:45Speaker 2: All right, appreciate that, you know. I actually you said
- 29:49Speaker 2: that the other day, and I agree with you something
- 29:51Speaker 2: about the Senior Senior Committee for the All Storyline Team.
- 29:56Speaker 2: You know, just like with the Hall of Fame. You know,
- 29:58Speaker 2: you've got your modern era stuff, but then you got
- 30:00Speaker 2: your senior group too. You don't forget about these guys
- 30:03Speaker 2: and and maybe you know, in y'all's case, you don't
- 30:06Speaker 2: call as much or whatever, but but you've been there
- 30:09Speaker 2: from the beginning, and the guys that and girls that
- 30:12Speaker 2: have been there from the beginning. You know, they allowed
- 30:15Speaker 2: us to kind of do shows like this, and and
- 30:17Speaker 2: and they they they've allowed us to have an eight
- 30:20Speaker 2: podcast now just because of the demand is so high.
- 30:23Speaker 2: But it started somewhere, it started early on, and so
- 30:27Speaker 2: I don't I don't think we should ever lose sight
- 30:29Speaker 2: of that. And then speaking of that from a player's standpoint,
- 30:33Speaker 2: Harvey Martin, I've been told this by a voter who
- 30:39Speaker 2: says that never in any conversation that they've ever had
- 30:45Speaker 2: with the voting about a player, has it ever come
- 30:48Speaker 2: up with that team's Ring of honor, hall of fame
- 30:52Speaker 2: or whatever, whether or not they're in there. Because that's
- 30:54Speaker 2: what a lot of fans say. That's what I kind
- 30:55Speaker 2: of say. When I look at Harvey Martin, I'm like,
- 30:57Speaker 2: we's not even in the Ring of Honor. And I
- 31:00Speaker 2: don't know if it's if it's harder to get in
- 31:02Speaker 2: the Ring of Honor, then it is a hall of fame.
- 31:04Speaker 2: And I don't I mean that seriously, Like it's it's
- 31:07Speaker 2: very tough to get in this is your all time
- 31:10Speaker 2: leader in sacks for the first I don't know, forty
- 31:15Speaker 2: five years of the of the franchise, fifty years until
- 31:19Speaker 2: de Waar broke his record. But Harvey Martin, you know,
- 31:21Speaker 2: led the team in sacks, and he was he was
- 31:24Speaker 2: a great player. Not in the Ring of Honor, Everson Wallas,
- 31:27Speaker 2: not in the Ring of honor, Too Tall Jones, those
- 31:30Speaker 2: guys there too, Cornell Green, So you know, I mean,
- 31:34Speaker 2: and I've been told it's never been a factor, but
- 31:38Speaker 2: I still have a hard time believing that. I really don't.
- 31:40Speaker 2: I don't think so. And I think that if they
- 31:42Speaker 2: would go into the Ring of Honor, I think if
- 31:44Speaker 2: it's their name out there more, and I think that
- 31:47Speaker 2: it could help them get in. I truly believe that. Yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 2: I'd like to see Harvey Martin get in, of course,
- 31:54Speaker 2: but you know, Too Tall Jones, all those guys. But
- 31:57Speaker 2: I not to be hypocritical, but I also love of
- 32:00Speaker 2: how exclusive it is, because then when a guy does
- 32:03Speaker 2: get in, it just doesn't feel like all it's his turn,
- 32:05Speaker 2: it's he's really earned something. So kind of it's kind
- 32:09Speaker 2: of hard. It's a tough it's a tough line to
- 32:12Speaker 2: walk there all right, Daveon and Illinois. What's up, Davion?
- 32:16Speaker 5: What's up? What's going on? Big guy?
- 32:18Speaker 2: How are you doing?
- 32:18Speaker 5: Going on? They man trying to recover still, I ain't
- 32:23Speaker 5: gonna lot to see. I was pretty I was pretty
- 32:25Speaker 5: upset Sunday of course, going into the marrow yesterday. So
- 32:28Speaker 5: definitely trying to get myself together. But uh, looking to
- 32:31Speaker 5: try to hopefully get this weekend and maybe we can
- 32:34Speaker 5: get some getback with the Washington Washington team hopefully.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's going to be a close one.
- 32:39Speaker 2: I mean I think that these are two evenly matched teams.
- 32:43Speaker 2: I really believe that.
- 32:45Speaker 5: I think there are. But I think we with our defense,
- 32:49Speaker 5: I just don't know if hopefully we can do something
- 32:52Speaker 5: to try to get a get a win, uh basically
- 32:55Speaker 5: get some stops. I think our offense gonna be fine though. Yeah,
- 32:58Speaker 5: and I see last night we can run bow pretty.
- 33:00Speaker 5: I mean the Chicago ranaball they may run about all year,
- 33:03Speaker 5: and they finally they broke out against them boys. So yeah,
- 33:07Speaker 5: maybe we get back to our run game this week,
- 33:08Speaker 5: then I think we'll be fine. Of course, cut down
- 33:12Speaker 5: the turnovers and who we got to do. I know
- 33:14Speaker 5: it's a quick day. So I just just okay, we'll
- 33:17Speaker 5: see all right, but I call back later on this week.
- 33:19Speaker 2: All right, Davion, appreciate that, thanks for the call. You know,
- 33:24Speaker 2: I said this yesterday's show. I you know that no
- 33:27Speaker 2: turnovers and no sacks allowed. I mean, it's only happened
- 33:31Speaker 2: thirty eight times in Cowboys history. In there now thirty
- 33:34Speaker 2: three and five in those games. I mean, it's a
- 33:36Speaker 2: recipe for wins most of the time. Of those five,
- 33:41Speaker 2: four of them were three three points or less. That
- 33:44Speaker 2: this one was three. The other three were one point
- 33:46Speaker 2: games that the Cowboys lost. The other one the other
- 33:50Speaker 2: game where the Cowboys it's remembered for somebody else. But
- 33:54Speaker 2: the other time that the Cowboys had no sacks allowed
- 33:58Speaker 2: and no turnovers and lost was the ninety eight Thanksgiving
- 34:02Speaker 2: Day game against Randy Moss and the Vikings. That game
- 34:07Speaker 2: was crazy. You know, you don't even think about what
- 34:09Speaker 2: the Cowboys were doing. They scored thirty six points and
- 34:11Speaker 2: moved the ball, but obviously couldn't stop. Randy Moss allly
- 34:14Speaker 2: caught three passes in the game. All of them were
- 34:17Speaker 2: fifty yards touchdowns or more. Right, let's go to a Cowboy, Nico.
- 34:21Speaker 2: He's in Colorado Springs, Nico.
- 34:24Speaker 3: What's up?
- 34:25Speaker 17: Nick?
- 34:25Speaker 2: Harry?
- 34:26Speaker 3: Hey, so I'm here.
- 34:27Speaker 2: How are you good?
- 34:29Speaker 11: Oh?
- 34:29Speaker 3: Well, so I'm on storyliners now, So the storyliner's team
- 34:35Speaker 3: is about to hear just a different version of passionate
- 34:38Speaker 3: that you guys don't like on this show. So I'll
- 34:41Speaker 3: keep it peg. I have renamed Shoddy. Yes, I have
- 34:45Speaker 3: renamed Shoddy. He is no longer shotty to me or
- 34:49Speaker 3: I can't even say the word because Nick will get mad,
- 34:51Speaker 3: although I have heard a lot of nicknames on the
- 34:54Speaker 3: show since my call in, but his now name is
- 34:58Speaker 3: HD Hebert Blues meets to Go PhD needs to stop
- 35:03Speaker 3: talking about it and actually do it. And I think
- 35:06Speaker 3: this now, talboys see is actually what you are saying.
- 35:09Speaker 3: We are going to make a treat And I can't
- 35:11Speaker 3: believe I'm saying that we are going to do something
- 35:14Speaker 3: because we can't waste Dak Gretscott doing a week doing
- 35:17Speaker 3: if you just can't, like you said, I totally one
- 35:19Speaker 3: hundred percent agree with you. I also believe that a
- 35:23Speaker 3: lot of people don't like how I think on this
- 35:26Speaker 3: show because just like my prisoners when I worked in
- 35:28Speaker 3: the prison, they don't like the cold heart truth so
- 35:32Speaker 3: I would say to you this day, I speak like
- 35:34Speaker 3: Jesse Hawley. I'm very open and blunt about it, and
- 35:38Speaker 3: I don't hide it. I am sad, I am mad,
- 35:40Speaker 3: I am frustrated. I am an upset. You don't play
- 35:43Speaker 3: this theme to not win a championship. When I was
- 35:46Speaker 3: fighting in NNA, I didn't get in the cage to
- 35:49Speaker 3: get a trophy for getting in the cage. I got
- 35:52Speaker 3: in the cage to fight. Now, Dallas do something.
- 35:55Speaker 15: We're in the gate.
- 35:56Speaker 6: Let's go Cowboys, all right, all right, n.
- 36:02Speaker 2: No, it was in the m m A. But uh,
- 36:07Speaker 2: that's a that's a different kind of animal right there.
- 36:09Speaker 2: I mean, I would think you gotta be you gotta
- 36:12Speaker 2: be a different level of crazy. I mean that respectfully,
- 36:15Speaker 2: because just to get in there and and do the
- 36:18Speaker 2: do that is I wouldn't know anything about it. However,
- 36:23Speaker 2: you're right, I mean yeah, I mean, this is this team.
- 36:27Speaker 2: They do need to do something. They're not bad. This
- 36:30Speaker 2: isn't a bad football team.
- 36:31Speaker 9: Uh.
- 36:32Speaker 2: It's a bad defense. It's a bad defense, but it's
- 36:35Speaker 2: it's it's maybe the best offense in the NFL. And
- 36:41Speaker 2: to go through the amount of injuries this team has
- 36:45Speaker 2: has seen on offense and still put up this many yards,
- 36:48Speaker 2: this many you know, this many points. It's a it's
- 36:51Speaker 2: an unbelievably good offense and it's a bad defense. And
- 36:56Speaker 2: and that that's very normal if you've if you've studied
- 36:59Speaker 2: the state over the years, it's very normal. What I
- 37:02Speaker 2: always look at when I look at the stats, they
- 37:05Speaker 2: have this this this category where it says like offensive rank,
- 37:09Speaker 2: defensive rank overall. A lot of times it's number one
- 37:14Speaker 2: and thirty one, and that's mainly because of yards allowed.
- 37:17Speaker 2: You're scoring a lot of points, then you're giving up
- 37:19Speaker 2: a lot and then these games are shootouts. The team,
- 37:23Speaker 2: the best teams are the ones that you look at
- 37:25Speaker 2: that says six four and you know, and and the
- 37:29Speaker 2: six the offense fourth of the that's a really good team.
- 37:32Speaker 2: That's what I think you strive for. That's not what
- 37:34Speaker 2: this is. This The Cowboys are either thirties or first
- 37:39Speaker 2: or thirty second depending on the points. But whether it
- 37:41Speaker 2: be points allowed, yards allowed, past defense, they're at the bottom.
- 37:46Speaker 2: They're at the top over here. My point is is
- 37:49Speaker 2: that if they can fix something on defense just enough,
- 37:53Speaker 2: and maybe it's a move that's made, maybe it's a scheme,
- 37:55Speaker 2: maybe it's all of the above, then I think this
- 37:58Speaker 2: thing can can get better. Believe that. All right, let's
- 38:01Speaker 2: go back to Atlanta for a repeat. Gee, what's up?
- 38:08Speaker 9: What's up baby double Dipper in today?
- 38:09Speaker 2: Man, I'm gonna call you the double g.
- 38:14Speaker 9: So turfing Man. I don't think people understand how much
- 38:19Speaker 9: of a weapon he is. I think our return park
- 38:23Speaker 9: return kit returns have been abysinal since he's been gone,
- 38:27Speaker 9: and that will we are just scoring a lot of points,
- 38:29Speaker 9: but I think our point production has gone down just
- 38:32Speaker 9: a little bit because we don't have Turpan back there
- 38:34Speaker 9: to give us that great field digion either.
- 38:36Speaker 11: Man.
- 38:36Speaker 9: So can you do you know where we have dropped
- 38:40Speaker 9: down to since he's been gone?
- 38:42Speaker 2: And and what what ranking are you talking about there?
- 38:45Speaker 9: What like Parker Return Kit return?
- 38:49Speaker 2: I I don't have those those numbers. I don't I know.
- 38:52Speaker 2: No one's made a play. I mean I know that
- 38:54Speaker 2: now Jaydon Blue had what decent return against the Jets
- 38:58Speaker 2: thirty yards? Maybe it was a good It was a
- 39:01Speaker 2: good play. Looked like it. You know, there was a
- 39:03Speaker 2: crease there and but but it's catching the ball. I mean,
- 39:07Speaker 2: it's it's lining up right, catching it, catching the knuckleballs,
- 39:12Speaker 2: the ground balls. Uh, that's that's a that's the key.
- 39:15Speaker 2: And Jalen Cropper has been here for a while, you know,
- 39:18Speaker 2: I just he's not the answer to me. So no,
- 39:22Speaker 2: I think I think field position is huge, and I
- 39:25Speaker 2: think that that's something that has been missed a big.
- 39:28Speaker 20: Time without turpingh Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
- 39:32Speaker 2: And and also he's a threat. I mean, like you
- 39:34Speaker 2: just you see Cropper back there, you see Blue whoever
- 39:37Speaker 2: you see Jayalen Tolber, just punt the ball, go and
- 39:39Speaker 2: go cover it. But with Tropping, I think, well, let's
- 39:42Speaker 2: anglet here. And then sometimes when you do, you shank
- 39:45Speaker 2: it out of bounds or or you don't kick it right.
- 39:47Speaker 2: So I think he gets in their head a little bit.
- 39:49Speaker 2: And I think he's just another weapon for sure.
- 39:52Speaker 9: All all right, thanks.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Double double G for all all that. Like man, I
- 39:57Speaker 2: called and called and didn't get in. This guy got
- 40:00Speaker 2: in twice. I don't think the lines there is I
- 40:03Speaker 2: mean I think they're they're pretty open today. I think
- 40:06Speaker 2: you have opportunities today. Bruce and Houston got one. Bruce
- 40:09Speaker 2: is in there. What's up? Bruce?
- 40:11Speaker 12: Hey?
- 40:12Speaker 7: Nick, thanks for the call. You know, I was frustrated
- 40:15Speaker 7: as well. With the defense, especially after they played okay
- 40:19Speaker 7: against Green Bay and then looked pretty good against the Jets,
- 40:22Speaker 7: so you you were thinking, Okay, maybe they're they're finally
- 40:24Speaker 7: getting eber Flus's defense down mentally. And I know that's
- 40:28Speaker 7: why he brought Enborn over because he knew his defense.
- 40:31Speaker 7: But you know, my question to you is, if he
- 40:35Speaker 7: don't change something, he's gonna he's gonna fire himself. I
- 40:39Speaker 7: writ an article that talked about him being hired technically
- 40:44Speaker 7: before Shott he was and and and I'm because I
- 40:48Speaker 7: just wish Jerry would flit the head coach pick his staff.
- 40:53Speaker 7: You know we've done that so many different times in
- 40:56Speaker 7: the back with in the past with Jason Garrett. You know,
- 41:00Speaker 7: he fill ups those kinds of things. But do you
- 41:03Speaker 7: know if he does get fired, I mean, yeah, I
- 41:07Speaker 7: don't think he's going to do it now, But if
- 41:09Speaker 7: he does, do you have you heard any names? Is
- 41:11Speaker 7: there anybody on the staff that could because I don't.
- 41:14Speaker 7: I don't think it's a scheme. I think it's the players.
- 41:17Speaker 7: You're paying those two corners to top dollar but play and.
- 41:22Speaker 2: The Bruce, but you're paying them to do what to
- 41:25Speaker 2: cover right, to cover they're not and they're they're not
- 41:29Speaker 2: allowed to do that. They're they're they're not covering, they're
- 41:32Speaker 2: playing zone. They're playing with their eyes. That's not what
- 41:34Speaker 2: you're paying Trayvon Diggs and so and all I'm saying
- 41:39Speaker 2: is that you say you don't think it's the scheme.
- 41:40Speaker 2: You think it's the players. Maybe in certain tills, but
- 41:44Speaker 2: in the cornerback position, they're not getting they're not doing
- 41:47Speaker 2: what they were paid to do. And that's just cover
- 41:50Speaker 2: their guy.
- 41:51Speaker 7: And that's and that's well because of our linebacker crew
- 41:55Speaker 7: that that he has to go to that zone. But
- 41:58Speaker 7: he's got to change because you know, you can't be
- 42:00Speaker 7: putting the square peg in a round hole forever, you know,
- 42:03Speaker 7: beating your head against the wall. But talk a little
- 42:06Speaker 7: bit who would replace him? And then if you do,
- 42:09Speaker 7: you're basically saying the hell with the season. And then
- 42:13Speaker 7: don't use your draft picks, man, because if they keep
- 42:17Speaker 7: losing like they are, then they need every one of
- 42:19Speaker 7: those picks to get the defense better. And I know
- 42:22Speaker 7: a rookie first round may not be able to do that,
- 42:24Speaker 7: but I don't think they're going to resign Diggs. So
- 42:26Speaker 7: they're going to their first pick is going to need
- 42:28Speaker 7: to be a cornerback and maybe a linebacker with the
- 42:31Speaker 7: Packers pick. I don't know, but talk about that if
- 42:34Speaker 7: you can, and I'll hang up and listen.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Talk to you later about it, all right, Thanks, I
- 42:37Speaker 2: appreciate it. Yeah, I mean who on the staff? I mean, like,
- 42:43Speaker 2: what position group would you say this guy needs to
- 42:46Speaker 2: be the coordinator? You know, the guys that's coaching the
- 42:49Speaker 2: D line and the pass rush. No, the linebacker, no,
- 42:53Speaker 2: your defensive back no. So I mean that's the problem
- 42:57Speaker 2: is is where they are is like who? Sometimes a
- 43:02Speaker 2: different voice is better, you know, I get that. I
- 43:06Speaker 2: mean I know you know I've heard I've heard that
- 43:09Speaker 2: before and I agree with it. You know, just a
- 43:12Speaker 2: just a different voice. Anybody that's a parent understands that
- 43:16Speaker 2: they might say the same thing to their kids ten
- 43:19Speaker 2: times and they don't ever, they don't ever really care
- 43:22Speaker 2: in one ear out the other. Then all of a sudden,
- 43:25Speaker 2: their teacher says that or something at school and they're like,
- 43:27Speaker 2: oh my god, I can't believe that, Like, yeah, I've
- 43:29Speaker 2: been saying that for or their basketball coach or whatever.
- 43:31Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, a different sometimes, a different voice is
- 43:35Speaker 2: all that you need. So I I just think I
- 43:38Speaker 2: think that they should go. I think they should do
- 43:40Speaker 2: everything they can right now to try to get this
- 43:42Speaker 2: get this thing going. Uh, change the scheme a little bit,
- 43:46Speaker 2: alter some things here and there, maybe add a player
- 43:48Speaker 2: or to figure it out, because it's too good on
- 43:51Speaker 2: the one side of the ball to let it to
- 43:53Speaker 2: let it go. You have a you have a shot,
- 43:55Speaker 2: get in the get in the playoffs. Figure out a
- 43:57Speaker 2: way to get in the playoffs, and see what this
- 43:59Speaker 2: offense can do. All right, let's go one more caller here,
- 44:02Speaker 2: Josh in Chicago.
- 44:03Speaker 21: Josh, not too bad. I didn't get to make it
- 44:09Speaker 21: to the game the other day. I didn't get into
- 44:10Speaker 21: like one in the morning, so my flights were all
- 44:12Speaker 21: the way and jacked up. I couldn't make it. But yeah,
- 44:16Speaker 21: I know, right, that's how I felt afterwards. The biggin
- 44:19Speaker 21: thing I want to say is I kind of wonder
- 44:21Speaker 21: about the approach to this team. You know, during the
- 44:23Speaker 21: week Wednesday through Friday, how much they're actually getting into it,
- 44:25Speaker 21: especially on the defense with the misques that seemed to
- 44:28Speaker 21: keep happening. Is this more of a preparation thing or
- 44:31Speaker 21: is it you know, mix of everything. Uh, that's kind
- 44:33Speaker 21: of what I've been thinking about. Yeah, I'd love to
- 44:37Speaker 21: get your take on that.
- 44:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think they are trying to
- 44:42Speaker 2: figure out thanks for the call, They're trying to figure
- 44:44Speaker 2: out their identity a little bit here and and now
- 44:47Speaker 2: you know what you are offensively, and that's that's a
- 44:50Speaker 2: good thing. But defensively, you know, I'm not I'm not
- 44:55Speaker 2: giving anybody a pass here. But but this scheme of
- 45:00Speaker 2: when he got here, when ibra Flus got here, and
- 45:02Speaker 2: what he was trying to do is, Okay, we're gonna
- 45:04Speaker 2: get after the quarterback. We're gonna get after the quarterback
- 45:08Speaker 2: with what we have because we have the best pass
- 45:10Speaker 2: rusher in the league, and we got some other guys
- 45:12Speaker 2: that we think are really good too, so we're gonna
- 45:14Speaker 2: be able to get that done. We signed Osa, We're
- 45:16Speaker 2: gonna be fine. And then back we're gonna play the
- 45:18Speaker 2: scheme the way it is. And then they trade Micah,
- 45:21Speaker 2: and everyone thought it was gonna happen until it traded.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Until you was traded, everyone thought this was gonna be
- 45:26Speaker 2: the thing, and it wasn't. So now now that it's
- 45:28Speaker 2: taken six games, but six games is long enough to
- 45:31Speaker 2: know it's not working. You have to to shuffle the
- 45:34Speaker 2: deck here a little bit and figure out some things
- 45:37Speaker 2: on defense to do better. All right, one more break
