  Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: This is Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: What's up? Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette. I
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: am Nick Eatman and the Cowboys. Tough loss on Sunday
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: in Denver, something that should, I guess be expected. Haven't
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: won in Denver since nineteen ninety two, haven't beaten the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Broncos at all since nineteen ninety five. Don't play them
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: a lot. Maybe that's a good thing for the Cowboys
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: because the success against that team certainly isn't there. Definitely
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: in Denver, where you know, the crowd was a factor
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: for it seemed like it for the Cowboys. That had
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of pre snap penalties, just a lot of
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: issues on offense that we just haven't seen this year.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: No doubt they're a different team from home and away,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: but for sure, playing in Denver, they have a great
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: home field advantage and it showed in that game. They
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: get to win forty for twenty four and the Cowboys
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: are three four and one, one game to go before
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the bye week, I guess you call this the midpoint season.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Eight games in nine to go, so right about now,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys have a Monday night game against a very
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: well rested Arizona team that's coming off of bye week.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: They've lost five in a row. Don't let that fool you, though,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: because those five losses are by combining thirteen points, a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: couple of one pointers, two points three here. I mean,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: they're close. They're not winning these games, but they're certainly
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: right there. So I'm sure that they're with a bye
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: week and looking at the way the Cowboys defense is playing,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the offense and from Arizona's excited about getting
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to AT and T Stadium this Monday night. So we'll
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: see how that goes. All right, let's hear from you guys.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Let's start it off with the phone lines, Travis and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: San Antonio.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: We'll start us off that cappy Tuesday.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: All right, appreciate it, thanks, just I know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: We're gonna be quick, so I want to get right
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: to this. I want to build on Dylan's point yesterday.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: He was talking about like this team, the defense not
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: having any bones to it, and the more and more
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I thought about this Nick, it's going to ruffle some
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: feathers and maybe it'll spark some conversation for you today.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I'm okay if they give up a one or even
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: two ones, if it means they're finding a guy that
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: is going to be part of the bones the defense,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: that can help you for the last nine games, but
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: also be somebody you build around for next season. There's
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: a couple of names out there, but I know we're
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: not saying names. But I know the only reasons I
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: say that are you know, people are getting hung up
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: on the two first round picks, and I've tried to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: tell people to in most drafts, there's fifteen first round players.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Right if you're drafting twenty or later, you're drafting the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: second round player anyways, And those two Green Bay picks,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: if you were to move those two, they're probably if
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: we're being realistic, I'm probably going to be right now
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: it's thirty one, but they're probably both going to be
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: twenty years later. So I just want people to be
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: open to the fact that we haven't drafted the best
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: on defense the last four or five years. So if
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: you go out and get somebody proven, go get someone proven.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I guess my point to be the bones of this defense,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and I just want to see what you got to
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: have a great one.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Thanks Travis. I don't hate that. I've said that as well.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You know, whoever, whatever you do, I mean, it's not
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a this year thing. It's it's this year, but it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: also you know, next couple of years. I mean, that's
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that's that's what you would have to give up if
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you're going to part with a first round pick. I mean,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that's the kind of kind of player. And so that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: kind of player is going to be part of your
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: your team for the next few years. He's part of
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the core, and and you know that's what you expect
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: out of your first round pick. But you're right, I mean,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: when you look at drafting in the twenties, I mean
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys, haven't you been super at it. Tyler Smith's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: are a good player. I mean they let's not forget that,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: but they also have drafted Mazzie Smith and Tyler Goeyiton
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the last few years. And and you know that hasn't
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: necessarily that hasn't worked out yet. I mean, now Tyler
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Goyiton's starting for you, but I mean he's got his
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: issues too. A left tackle I think he's a young
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: player that will continue to develop. I think he's gonna
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: be a good player. But you know, you can't say
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: that about Mazzi. He's not playing he's not playing on
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in a position of need, and he's not playing a
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: lot and and and making an impact. So but yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm totally with you. I don't know
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: if everyone believes that. I do. I think that that's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a good that's a good plan, but you know, it's
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: got to be a good fit. It's got to be
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: somebody that they would want to sign long term. So
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: not those guys aren't just always sitting there ready to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: be traded and then another team just come in and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: sign him. So there's there's it's got to work out perfectly.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And I don't think those those situations aren't aren't there
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: as much as people think they are. I think there's
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: good players teams want to move, but for whatever the reason,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that player is probably not inter students and in signing
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a new deal, or they would have already done them
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and they wouldn't really be a guy that you would
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: be trading anyways, all right. Irene in falls Church, Virginia,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Irene Hey good morning.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be emotional about whatever that was. But
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: two things on offense, so I'm self scouting. If I'm shoddy,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: i am abandoning the or I'm not abandoning the rundown
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: in the red zone. I don't understand. You're at the
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: one yard line. Why don't you go four times?
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Anyway?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: So on that note, and then the defense, if I'm shoddy,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know what to do because I don't think
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: he has the ability to get police out of there,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: and I do think that is what needs to happen,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: among other things. It's not just him, But I'm having
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: conversations with all my coordinators to see who philosophically likes
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: to blitz and I'm asking Jerry for permission.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: But on the offensive side, please keep running the ball,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: stop with the short passes.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, I mean I agree with you. I mean,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: what's gonna get Dak Prescott and the MVP talk is
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: winning games. That that's what's gonna do it. It's not
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: about the stats. It's not all that stuff. So I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: don't know what that is. I don't know why you
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: want to throw on the ball. Second one try to
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: throw it up to pickings. I don't I don't understand that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: You know, there's an all Pro sitting there covering him,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: but there's not an all pro. And they got good defense,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: but there's not like an all pro right there the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: defensive line. You get you went from the four to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the one on first down. Try it again, see what happens.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Jontay Williams, you know, who used to play in Denver,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: probably feels a certain way about the way that game went.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, he did score twice, but they got cute
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: down there to me, and throwing the ball is not
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: considered cute, but it is when you're on the one
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: yard line and you're and you're running back is averaging
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: five yards of pop. I bet he can score. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: bet he scores there, take advantage of that interception you
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: just got and go a touchdown and then you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: but they didn't. I mean, and you know we've seen it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: They've thrown the ball from the one and they throw
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: it to Ferguson and it's a touchdown, and no one
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: says anything about getting cute and all that. It's only
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: cute when you end up kicking a field goal on
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that same drive and you didn't score. But you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I just think, hand the ball to Davonte Williams two
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: or three times in a row and see if they
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: stop him every time, then we'll let's talk. But I
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: don't think that's gonna happen. All right, Casey Joe in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Kansas City. What's up?
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Nick?
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: How are you doing today, sir?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you?
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: Good Hey. The only bright spot I seen yesterday from
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: the four defense is Bridges.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: I know he's green. They said he came from the
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: Chargers practice squad. That's what they said on another show.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: And uh, but he at least is willing to go
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: after the ball and that's kind of what we need
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: on defense.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: I mean, he might not.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: Be for this year, but I'd like for him to
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: keep him around and develop him.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the call. He's young. I mean, he he
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: gave up some plays. It kind of reminded me of
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the Washington game last year in Washington when Josh Butler
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: had like twelve tackles and he was fighting scrappy, gave
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: up an eighty seven yard touchdown as well, gave up
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: some plays. There was a reason why he had twelve tackles.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: They were throwing at him. A lot, and you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I Bridges kind of the same way. They weren't afraid
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of them. I mean he was out of position and
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the past was so bad that he got an interception.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, he's a young player. He needs to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: get better. He's not I don't think he's the answer.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: But like like you just said, you said it though,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: he needs to develop, can continue to develop. Uh, you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: maybe there's something there. But but you know, they they
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: got issues on defense for sure. I mean we know this.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, of course the issues that they're they're they're
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: worst than the league. So I'm not breaking any news here.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: But there's different guys to try. I mean, I mean
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: obviously with with trayvon z injury and him being out,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: this was a guy that was supposed to be there
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: with with Bland, with Elm. When those three are out
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: there together, I think that you know that they could
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: have been a good, good trio, but we haven't really
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: seen that and definitely haven't seen it playing kind of
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a man to man defense. All Right, Daveon and Illinois, what's.
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: Going on there? I know we gotta be quick. Hey, uh,
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: still still coming in. I'm coming to hot But it's
• 9:30
  Speaker 9: gonna be. It's gonna be a good one. First thing. First,
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: we got to get over the fact of trying to
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: get rid of the plus is gonna be here for
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: the rest of the year. We just got to accept
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: that it's gonna be. It's what it is. I think
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: we need to on offense, we need to just try
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: to abandon the idea of punt. We need to really
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: just try to go forward a lot. Basically, if it's
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: fourth and five and under, we gotta go especially when
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: we're on the road, because we're not really getting anything
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: from the defense on the road, and we got to
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: try to cut some dead weight on some of the defense.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: We've got to get a lot of guys that really
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: just is out there that's not really doing it to
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: help us. So we need to try to move some
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: of the guys around and just bring some guys that
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: really want to like win free and stuff like that
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: that we've seen. Uh, it's trying to make some moves,
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: get some cups peep out of here and try to
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: get the same savage thing or we can make a
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: run at this thing.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, Daniell, I appreciate that no punting.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: He says it's probably probably better, you know, analytics to
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: do that. Keep going, because here's the deal. Pinning the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: penning the offense down at the ten yard line. When anger,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: anger can get that punt down to ten fair catch. Okay,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: does that change anything, because if you're not stopping the run,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: they're just gonna move the ball out of it, you
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. Yeah, you're you're more conservative down there.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: But but it's one thing if if you know, if
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you can sack the line of scrimmage and they're gonna
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: bring me those screen passes, you can get off the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: field and you you know, get the ball back you know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: brown midfield. But if you're not stopping the run, then
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you just gonna they're gonna run it though a little
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: short pass, another run here, and now it's first down,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and now they're moving out of it. And so whether
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: they drive at ninety yards or not, at least you
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: know getting back there. So my point is is I
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: agree with you fourth and four, fourth and five. You know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: if you if you like the play calls that you have,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and you like the route runners and you know, Ferguson
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and all that, I mean, you've got some ways to
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: pick up the first down. I don't know if I punt,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if I go for it
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: every time. But I like what you're thinking because I
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: do think it probably gives you the best chance to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: keep moving the football. All right, let's go to break
• 11:33

• 13:22
  Speaker 2: They got the Cardinals coming up Monday night. Let's go
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: back to our phone lines. Blair in Newport News, Virginia. Blair,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: what's up, hey, Just.
• 13:31
  Speaker 13: Trying to salvage some optimism after this last weekend, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: I'm wondering is a trade. Is a trade really off
• 13:40
  Speaker 13: the table? And the reason I ask is because, like,
• 13:43
  Speaker 13: if you don't think the trade can really fix what
• 13:46
  Speaker 13: you're doing, wouldn't it be better to wait and just
• 13:51
  Speaker 13: get the picks next year? I realized after ZONEA we
• 13:54
  Speaker 13: got to buy and then of course overshown maybe coming back,
• 13:59
  Speaker 13: But will trade be enough to really restore this defense
• 14:03
  Speaker 13: to credibility moving forward? And of course Arizona is a
• 14:07
  Speaker 13: big mystery game. You never know what you're gonna get there.
• 14:10
  Speaker 13: I'll take your comments off their Thanks so much, Nick,
• 14:12
  Speaker 13: appreciate you.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: All right. I said this earlier this week. I I'm
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: not I'm not trying to find Charles Haley move okay,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to find that one piece that's going
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to take you to the super Bowl. What I'm trying
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: to find is a player that can give you enough
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: of an impact that that can get you off the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: field on third down. That's that's all I need. I mean,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I need. I need that guy that gives you more
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: pass rush than you've seen. He's maybe two guys that
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: can block to this guy. Maybe you need a double team.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, really do they does anyone double team anyone.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I need somebody like that that can make a play,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: whether it be a pass rush up maybe he's in
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the back end, safety, another corner, somebody that is a
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: playmaker that that can get you off the field. Because
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: if I get off the field a couple times, you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: more than I've seen, then your offense can can do
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: something with it. So all right, but that's my take. Yeah,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I think a trade can help because because your offense
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: is really good, you have a really good offense, so
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you just need a little help on defense. If your
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: offense was just average and just so so here and there,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: then no, you probably one player is not going to
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: change things. But if I didn't you got off the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: field a couple times, Yeah, I think I can do something,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: all right. Brian in Kansas City.
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: Good morning, sir, morning.
• 15:32
  Speaker 14: You know I was thinking last weekend exactly what you
• 15:35
  Speaker 14: brought up yesterday, that this reminds me of twenty eighteen.
• 15:39
  Speaker 14: Pass rush by committee didn't work any better than than
• 15:42
  Speaker 14: receiver by committee, right right, you know, that's exactly what
• 15:46
  Speaker 14: I was thinking. I do think though, that we when
• 15:50
  Speaker 14: if we think we're going to make a move, it
• 15:52
  Speaker 14: should be for the long term, not just hey, what'll
• 15:57
  Speaker 14: give us to nine or ten wins this year? Yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 14: and because I think that might drive us to overpay
• 16:02
  Speaker 14: a little bit, you know. Yeah, And we didn't for
• 16:06
  Speaker 14: a Mari. We did not overpay for a Mari. We
• 16:08
  Speaker 14: got about what they should have got.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 16:11
  Speaker 14: And I think that we need a pass rusher or
• 16:16
  Speaker 14: a middle linebacker, meaning long term, And I'm with you,
• 16:20
  Speaker 14: this has to be somebody we have control over for
• 16:22
  Speaker 14: a couple of years, so on and so forth. So
• 16:25
  Speaker 14: just my thoughts on that. Hey, I wanted to ask
• 16:27
  Speaker 14: you a question about Bebe. I know he was close
• 16:29
  Speaker 14: to playing last year last week, so I hope that
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: means he's going to play this week. But any any
• 16:34
  Speaker 14: update on him, man, that's it for me.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Thanks, thank you, Bryan. A little early for updates this
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: week on baby, But you're right he did. I mean
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I talked to him and he said he thought there
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: was a shot he could play against Denver, but you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: he wanted to The player doesn't always, you know, give
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: you the best update because they all think they can play,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: they all think that they're fine or whatever. But I
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: think for sure this week was a good opportunity. And
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I think what now that we've seen these losses the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Cowboys have had against Carolina and Denver, they're getting whipped
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: up front. That's a big key that they're not running
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the football. I mean, look at look at what you
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: know wins and losses. Look at what Javonte Williams is
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: doing when the wins versus the loss. I think that's
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the real key part of the of these games. And
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and they they've got to get better there. I think
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that there's a thought that there's a little bit more
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: better communication up front when BB's in there, maybe maybe
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: a little stronger too one way or another. Though, they
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: got to get better in the middle. And I would
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I would think BB could come back this week. Gerald
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: and port Allen, Louisiana.
• 17:38
  Speaker 15: Hey, what how you doing? Good?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 17:41
  Speaker 15: Oh Man?
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: Hanging in there being a Cowboys fan loving.
• 17:45
  Speaker 15: Son over real quick with it. As far as like
• 17:48
  Speaker 15: the defense as a hole in the in the scheme,
• 17:51
  Speaker 15: do you feel as if they would have played more
• 17:54
  Speaker 15: in the preseason that we would have seen a lot
• 17:57
  Speaker 15: of the you know, the holes or the the miss
• 18:00
  Speaker 15: communication or where they've got it tightened up in the
• 18:02
  Speaker 15: preseason versus seeing it, you know, in the middle of
• 18:05
  Speaker 15: the season where they've got that, you think they would
• 18:06
  Speaker 15: have got that tightened up. And I hang up and listen,
• 18:08
  Speaker 15: all right, and thank you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I know there's a thought out there
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: of that. I I I, you know, not to be
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: argumentative or anything like that. I just I don't ever
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: believe that, only because everything is so vanilla. Nobody shows
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: anything anymore. So those guys could have all played. But
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I don't. I just don't know that that the your
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: your teams that you're playing. I can't remember who they
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: played in the preseason. I mean Baltimore, the Rams, Falcons.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: They had their own issues anyways, just stopping them on defense.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: But but I just think you're not you know, most
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: teams aren't playing their starters, and then they're certainly not
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: going to throw out some of their more exotic plays
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and stuff. So I just think you're right. They could
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: have done. You know, they could have seen the little
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: bit more of this, They could have played more, they
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: could have been a little bit more crisp. But what
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: you're gonna see and how long you're gonna play him,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: versus the thought of losing them to a season ending
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: injury in the preseason game would just be catastrophic. I
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: just I think the risk award just isn't there for me,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: because I don't think you're gonna get as much value
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: of them just being out there for I mean, think
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: about the last preseason game was Friday, August twenty second,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and then the next game is September the fourth, So
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I mean that's you know, you're still talking like two
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: weeks pretty much. It was two weeks, so you know,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: there's there's a chance that you can get you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: knock the rust off and then play three games and
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: then get more rust for the next game. So I
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: don't know, I'm just not a huge proponent of that
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: because I just think the risk is just too much there.
• 19:51

• 21:08
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette. Tuesday,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: October twenty eighth. We got to this is the day
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: we tape our TV show, and we had to get
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: those two segments out of the way. Now we can
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: roll a little bit and I didn't want to didn't
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: want to have to rush for our next caller here,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Randy text or can I know you got things to say.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Let's make it somewhat quick, but I still want to
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: hear from you.
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: I'll try. My brain hurts on this defense thing, all right,
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: I just okay, you know, I've never called in in
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: bad mouth anybody. I'm not one of these people that
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: want to talk bad about coaches and players because I
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: can't do what they're doing, so I don't want to
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: bad amount them. But I almost had to just to
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: get this conversation out. So one guy will talk bad
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: about auto. What's a manualato? Is that his name? That
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: he used to play for us? He's got his own show.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: No, No, he didn't play for other Cowboys. Okay, well
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: that yeah, he did some stuff with the Cowboys, but
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I mean he played in his ten games that he played,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: they weren't with the Cowboys.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: Okay, all right, Well I've never really cared for him,
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: but anyway, I saw a dyl on that he was
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: a pinpoint in a bunch of plays from this past
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: game with the defense. Yeah, yeah, I saw that, and
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: you saw that. Okay, is it the coach or is
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: it the players, like they the the Broncos literally had
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: an answer for everything we did. At one point, we
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: had six players covering four guys and he's still caught
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: a wide open touchdown in the end zone and it's
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: so there do you lean toward okay? The players are
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: just not up to par and smart enough to handle it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: Or is the coach calling bad plays or Slash not
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: coaching the players to do the correct thing. I just
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: don't know where to go with this. I don't know
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: that any of us do, really No.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I think it's a it's a combination of a lot
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: of things, and it's not it's not good. I mean,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: like you don't have your pass rush. These guys are
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the guys that that you that they are going to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: war with. I mean, once they traded Micah, they said
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: they'll be fine with these guys, and these guys are
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: not fine. And then to make it worse is that
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: on the back end, I mean, we're about two players
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: away from Colin Darren Woodson in for to play uh safety.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That's going to really set him back for the for
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame even more because if he comes
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: out here and plays but that's about where they are
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: at safety. So you take the lack of players there,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: the lack of pass rush here. The linebackers in between
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: are getting knocked off their ass. I mean, like, I mean, well,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: you got me. I'm not gonna go there. But I'm
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: just saying it's just a bad mix all the way around.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: So it looks like bad coaching. And it could be.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, it really could it could be. I'm not one,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: though I know what you're referred to. I'm not one
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: to just say he fire him, fire him, he needs
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: to lose his job.
• 23:58
  Speaker 18: All that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But that's easy, the dude say, because
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: you don't have to be accountable because you're not here.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, and that's not just him, that's anybody. It's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: real easy to say, fire this guy, fire that guy. Yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: you change it for who. I mean, this is my
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Ricky Waters statement here for who?
• 24:15
  Speaker 18: For what?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Who's coming in here and do and and and all?
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: This guy's this guy's better. You know this guy.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: And I'm really wanting all the fans to ease up
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: on the overshown thing. Man, this guy hadn't played football.
• 24:27
  Speaker 14: In a year.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: It's gonna take him four games to get in the group.
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: So he's not gonna be the savior. H Yeah, he'll
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: be a good addition, but he's not gonna come in
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: immediately and make that big of an impact. Everybody needs
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: to ease up. And actually, yesterday Jesse said, and I
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: almost agree with him, if we drop one or two
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: more games before he eats scheduled to come back, it
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: might be best just to not let him come back
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: and just get one percent fully healthy for next year
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: and come in fresh next year and not risk hurting
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: him again. But that's about all I gotta say. I'm
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: just it's just a frustrating, defensive situation, and I hate
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: that we may waste away a really good offense and
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: waste away a year with Pekins if we're not able
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: to keep him. And they I want them to make
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: a move, but I don't have the answers to tell you.
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: I don't know who to get what to get. You know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: it's it's it's crazy. I think this is just what.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: We got to deal with.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: I think this is I think this is our season
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: and we just all need to accept that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: You know, all right, Randy, I mean and it could
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: be I mean, it's just this is uh I've said
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: it several times. I mean the Cowboy. Being a Cowboy
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: fan is like a you know, it's one of those
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: six flags roller coasters, and this is this year more
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: than ever because it's up and it's down, and it
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: looks it looks good here, looks like it's going to
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: be over then and then and then it goes backwards
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: and then it goes around and you know, you lost
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: your cap and it fell down, and you know. But
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I mean it's that kind of roller coaster that that's
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: what kind of season this is. Uh, they're just they're
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: just good on offense and really bad on defense, and
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: and the mixture is gonna be probably gonna put you.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I mean they're probably headed for eight eight and one.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: The back half of the schedule looks tougher, looks tougher,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: but I mean, I don't I don't know. I mean,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: there's none of these games that you couldn't go win.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Kansas City and the in Detroit are both playing better,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: way better. I mean, they look pretty elite, so those
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: are gonna be tough ones. But it doesn't matter. I
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: mean a quarter I mean, you're putting quarterbacks that are
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: just average quarterbacks and making them look like they're ready
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: to go in the Hall of Fame. So all right,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I'll say this about the overshown thing, though, I couldn't
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: disagree more with that. I mean, if he's not healthy,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: then don't he shouldn't be playing at all. It doesn't
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: matter if you're undefeated or winless or whatever. If he's
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: not ready to go, then then don't put him out there.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: If he's rehabbed, ready to play, Uh, play, I mean
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: football players play, I mean I don't know, that's what
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: they do, right, That's the job of a football player
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: is to go play football. So if he's not ready
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: and you're like, well, I don't want to risk more injury,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: well then just don't ever play him then, you know.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, but I think he's ready to go, and
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I want him to go play and and and get better.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: He's still a young player that hadn't played a lot
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: of football. Play some more football, get better, figure out
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: the right spot to use him, when to blitz him,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: when to play him at linebacker, and all that stuff.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Use these games for for you know. I mean, that's
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: what's funny. I hope whoever says that is not saying
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: that they need to play in the preseason. Okay, you
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: got people that are saying, why don't they play in
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the preseason, And then if there's anyone that's saying, I
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: would just shut him down. What are we talking about here?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: All right? Josh in Chicago?
• 27:50
  Speaker 19: Hey, Nick, how's it going good?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 27:53
  Speaker 18: Well?
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: You know, I could be better?
• 27:55
  Speaker 19: I think, you know, looking at this optimistically, you had
• 27:58
  Speaker 19: a lot of teams that low in front of you
• 28:00
  Speaker 19: in the playoff spots, right, that would have been really
• 28:03
  Speaker 19: nice to get a win, but at least you didn't
• 28:04
  Speaker 19: kind of lose ground against.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Them, right A definitely won the battle if there was
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: like an NFC versus AFC challenge or something like that,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: which they call the Pro Bowl.
• 28:16
  Speaker 19: But anyway, yeah, they count it really had had their.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Day, even last night too, or Monday night whatever that was.
• 28:23
  Speaker 19: Yeah, it is last Yeah, I'm I'm counting on I'm
• 28:26
  Speaker 19: at I think they won seven of the of the
• 28:30
  Speaker 19: game of the matchups and I think they went like
• 28:33
  Speaker 19: seven to one. It looks like yeah, so, I mean,
• 28:34
  Speaker 19: I mean, just insane, but I think, uh, you know,
• 28:37
  Speaker 19: I called during the off season, I'm kind of with
• 28:39
  Speaker 19: you on the trade. If it's the right person for
• 28:41
  Speaker 19: the right price. I'm doing it because I think brought
• 28:43
  Speaker 19: us brought up a good point yeh yesterday on the
• 28:45
  Speaker 19: break of you kind of get a jump start to
• 28:47
  Speaker 19: next season, too, right, So if it's the right person
• 28:50
  Speaker 19: and you get a long term deal done, or if
• 28:52
  Speaker 19: it's somebody who's got years in their contract, then hey,
• 28:54
  Speaker 19: why not do it. I brought up during the kind
• 28:58
  Speaker 19: of jokingly during the off season about hey, individuals still
• 29:00
  Speaker 19: out there, and I'm looking, you know, at the list
• 29:03
  Speaker 19: of free agents who are still out there, and I
• 29:06
  Speaker 19: think when you talk when Brian Schottenheimer talks about a
• 29:10
  Speaker 19: team that competes, there's a lot of cornerbacks, safeties and
• 29:13
  Speaker 19: linebackers who are still out there as free agents. And
• 29:15
  Speaker 19: I kind of wonder if they should bring some of
• 29:17
  Speaker 19: these guys in they will at least kick the tires around,
• 29:19
  Speaker 19: let them practice, let them have a tryout, and see
• 29:22
  Speaker 19: if any of them might be give you more than
• 29:24
  Speaker 19: what you're getting right now, because they a competition, you know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 19: creates better players hopefully, right, Like that's the goal. So
• 29:31
  Speaker 19: I kind of look at the list of you know,
• 29:33
  Speaker 19: the linebacker, safeties and cornerbacks that are out there, and
• 29:35
  Speaker 19: it's like, hey, why not bring some of these guys
• 29:37
  Speaker 19: in and give them an opportunity and see what they
• 29:38
  Speaker 19: have and if they have anything left in the tank.
• 29:40
  Speaker 19: But that's kind of my thought. I'll leave the tower.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, you're kicking the tires again
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: on some of those guys that were here. You know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: there's always a question of why white guys are available.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a there's a reason why, and then
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: how long is it going to take them to be
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: kind of up to speed. I just don't believe there's
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: anybody that's sitting on the street that can that can
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: help really any team. I don't think. I don't know,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I could. I could be wrong, but it's just hard
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: to think these guys are gonna get get here, get
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: ready to play and and and help you that much
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: when none of the other thirty one teams wanted them
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: to even be on their practice squad. I mean that's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the thing too, Like practice now. Part of it too,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: is that these guys are like, I'm not doing it
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: for this price. I'm not gonna do it just to
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: do it. I'm not gonna do it to just be
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: on the practice squad. Fine, I get it. But that
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't also bode well for guys that are gonna come
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: right right in off the street and help you. We've
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: seen certain times where that's happened, you know, every now
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and again. A few years ago, the Cowboys brought in
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: remember t Y Hilton at receiver. He'd been sitting there
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: all year. I think he was just coaching his little
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: his son's little league team, or you know, pee wee football,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: and then when that season was over, he was like,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: all right, I'm ready to play. And now he's talking
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: about a really good player. I mean, there are rare cases.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there's somebody out there that that could help.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: But I think that the best way to do is
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: get a guy that's playing on a team and and
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and you know, at least somebody that's practicing every game
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: every week. All right, Jr? In Avondel, Arizona.
• 31:26
  Speaker 18: More than that, How you doing are you? I've been
• 31:29
  Speaker 18: under the weather. I haven't heard the show in a
• 31:32
  Speaker 18: couple of days, so I'll probably talking about the stuff.
• 31:35
  Speaker 18: A lot of stuff y'all he talked about.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: So sorry, what do you got?
• 31:39
  Speaker 18: I just I the best team doesn't always win, but
• 31:44
  Speaker 18: they did this weekend. You know, the Roncos. If you
• 31:46
  Speaker 18: got realize RONC is like a team and they're really
• 31:49
  Speaker 18: well coached team. I don't know if you heard Sean
• 31:52
  Speaker 18: Payton talking to the sideline reporter during the game, but
• 31:55
  Speaker 18: he talks about targeting bridges and targeting their second secondary
• 32:00
  Speaker 18: because we have a bunch of people out you know,
• 32:03
  Speaker 18: my hat tip my hat to him. He's a great coach.
• 32:06
  Speaker 18: But far as the defense goes it, you know, when
• 32:12
  Speaker 18: when you see players that just the fundamentals out there,
• 32:16
  Speaker 18: and it's the simple stuff that I coached for a
• 32:19
  Speaker 18: quite a while and stuff you teach guys in high
• 32:22
  Speaker 18: school and in the league that these guys aren't doing
• 32:24
  Speaker 18: a professionals, and you got to wonder the want has
• 32:28
  Speaker 18: to be there. I think coach went to told me tackling
• 32:31
  Speaker 18: is eighty percent wants. You gotta want to tackle. And
• 32:35
  Speaker 18: it's like I'm always talking about em. He's just not
• 32:37
  Speaker 18: very good as a football player. And there's not really
• 32:40
  Speaker 18: an There's not really an answer.
• 32:42
  Speaker 17: But I do believe that coaches coaching.
• 32:44
  Speaker 18: Players play and at some point the players got to play.
• 32:47
  Speaker 18: That is something to playing. So that's why I'd like
• 32:51
  Speaker 18: to see that. You know, I don't want to lose
• 32:53
  Speaker 18: their job or anything, but shake something up. Something's got
• 32:55
  Speaker 18: to change to get something out of the players that
• 32:59
  Speaker 18: they're not getting. And that's what I think. And that's
• 33:02
  Speaker 18: all I got, and I'll such, I'll go and go Cowboys.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, yeah, you know, Schottenheimer didn't say what
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: it would be, but he he he promised. He's like, oh,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: you're gonna see some changes. You may not see it
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: all this week, but after you know, by week coming up,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: you're going to see some changes for sure. The scary
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: part of that is is because if because if there's
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: any part of you that says, good, good man, that's good.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see that. You know that Vegas game,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: we got to get through this, get this win, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: the Vegas is gonna be some changes. If you're excited
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: about that at all, just know that you're facing an
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Arizona team that's lost five straight games, mostly by two
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: or three points, if not one point, and they're coming
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: off of buy so I bet they're they're gonna bring
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: some changes, maybe at quarterback. So just know that that's
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: what you have going up this week against Arizona. But uh, yeah,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I don't know what these
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: changes could be or will be. But yeah, don't wait
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: that long. I mean, I try to fix something here.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: You got an extra day for Monday night football. Try
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: to try to make a change, do something. I get
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: it that you know the bye week could be the
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: time to do some of that. But I'm all, I'm
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: all for it. I'm not. I'm not looking at next year.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think this team's looking at next year. I
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: know the fans are, but I don't think anyone's looking
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: at next year. They're looking at how to figure out
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: a way to win this game, get some things altered,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: try to beat the Raiders, and knowing after that it
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: gets really tough schedule wise, and so they're going to
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: have to be as good as they can possibly be.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: All right, Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky.
• 34:48
  Speaker 20: Well, I could not call yesterday. I had to just listen.
• 34:51
  Speaker 20: I couldn't speak anything yesterday because it would have been banned.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, I appreciate that, and thank thanks for
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: the listen.
• 35:00
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I listened to the whole show, but I was like, nah,
• 35:03
  Speaker 20: I can't call. Uh, Phoebe's coming back. That's good. But
• 35:08
  Speaker 20: I believe if we don't if two things don't happen,
• 35:13
  Speaker 20: that our season is gonna end with five or six wins.
• 35:17
  Speaker 20: And I think those two things are overshown. Demo has
• 35:24
  Speaker 20: got to come back with just a vengeance. And I
• 35:29
  Speaker 20: believe we have to get a new body in here
• 35:33
  Speaker 20: or pass rushing somebody who's gonna make a difference. I
• 35:38
  Speaker 20: just I think we have both of those things have
• 35:41
  Speaker 20: to happen that. I mean, I'm the secondary. I'm sure
• 35:46
  Speaker 20: it's just you know that, injuries and everything.
• 35:49
  Speaker 18: But.
• 35:51
  Speaker 20: I think if that happens, then we we're gonna win
• 35:53
  Speaker 20: some games. I'm not looking the next year. You said,
• 35:57
  Speaker 20: a lot of fans are. I'm still on this year.
• 36:00
  Speaker 20: It's the off season is too long to give to
• 36:04
  Speaker 20: give up after you know, not even half one.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, you're right, there's nine games left. Thanks
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: for the call, Michael, you.
• 36:12
  Speaker 20: Know, yeah, thank you.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: The nine nine games left. You've got five of them
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: at home, and you got five of them at home.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: You're averaging over forty points a game at home. I'm
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: not saying that that's gonna continue, but even if you
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: slip a little bit, you should be okay there. This team,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: this team plays well at home this year at least
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: what we've seen, and you know, you've got some you've
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: got some games that you can you can do something
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: with and any and even on those road games, I'm
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: looking at the schedule, Raiders, you know, on the road,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: first time to ever play in Vegas, you should have
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of fans there. You should be able. There
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: should be a place where you go there and play well.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Coming off of by Lions is gonna be tough on
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: a Thursday night after the Thanksgiving That's gonna be a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: tough game for sure. And then you know at at Washington,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: a place where they've won before and that's Christmas Day.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens there and not the Giants. So
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean winnable road games for sure, maybe not,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: they're all winnable. Detroit's gonna be the tough game that
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: there's no doubt. Uh, But then you know, also at home.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: My point is is that there's there's some you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: there's no reason to be looking at next year. There's
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: the reason to kind of fix a few things. Uh,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: the schedule. Still, you know, you still got some opportunities
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: to to win some games, but you're gonna have to
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to win some of these that that
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: you you guys have probably put the W in the
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: L and all they're gonna win this. They're gonna have
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: to get some of those l's. They're gonna have to
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: flip those around because I you know, the most optimistic
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Cowboy fan didn't have an L at Carolina probably uh
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: so probably even Chicago either. So they they they've got
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: to get some of these and they have it yet.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: That's one of the big things. They have to beat
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: some teams that that you're expecting them to beat. All right,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Casey in la Hey.
• 38:04
  Speaker 21: Nick, how's it going good? Good transitioning from despondent to
• 38:09
  Speaker 21: rationalization and hope comes tomorrow. So at least we're going
• 38:12
  Speaker 21: in the right direction. I feel like Sunday just a
• 38:17
  Speaker 21: missed opportunity on that opening drive. I know we needed seven,
• 38:21
  Speaker 21: but keep Hammer and Javonte right there. Dude, you do that,
• 38:25
  Speaker 21: You stoke him out, you stake the team out, you
• 38:27
  Speaker 21: set that physical edge, you know, and it just gets
• 38:31
  Speaker 21: everybody hype. Being the former Bronco there, I think it's
• 38:35
  Speaker 21: sets a different tone too cute down there. I'm not
• 38:38
  Speaker 21: sure it mattered for the whole game. But at least
• 38:42
  Speaker 21: you're saying we're physical and we're gonna take it to you.
• 38:45
  Speaker 21: So hate when they get cute down there, and I
• 38:50
  Speaker 21: agree with you, do we gotta make We got to
• 38:51
  Speaker 21: make moves for this season. It's not a guarantee that
• 38:54
  Speaker 21: this offense comes back and it just lights out next year.
• 38:57
  Speaker 21: Do what we can to improve the team, and just
• 39:01
  Speaker 21: got got to get some pressure on the quarterback.
• 39:04
  Speaker 20: Man.
• 39:04
  Speaker 21: We're making these guys look like all pros. Look what
• 39:06
  Speaker 21: Caleb's done since that game against US, So it can
• 39:10
  Speaker 21: be fixed, but takes action, so hopefully we get there.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: You're exactly right, Thank you so much. You should never
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: have lost to Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, Russell Wilson. I mean,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Jordan Love had a great game. I mean Justin Fields
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: didn't play that great. It's okay, obviously bo Nick's played great. Yeah,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: you know, Patrick Mahomes is sitting there in a few
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: weeks heared goff Justin Herbert after that, So yeah, I
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: mean there's there's some quarterbacks that that are are considered
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: really good that you're gonna have to go up against.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: So there's no doubt about it. They got to try
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: to fix all that. Let's go back to our phone
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: line here, Corey and Buckeye Arizona. Corey. What's up hey, Nick?
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: Uh hey, yeah, thanks for having me on. I'll try
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: to make this as quick as I can. I'm not
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: a normal caller, but more of an example followed up
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: by maybe some thoughts or question for you. Ah man,
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: it's probably the first year, y'all, y'all started this, this
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: great show, but it's it's been a long long time.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: I was trying to give it the here we go, Well,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: you definitely didn't get that, all right, what do you got?
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: There we go? So kind of an example is we've
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: all seen that that defender that dB that it's third
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: down and they celebrate because they made them punt. Right,
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: a pass was thrown to their defender that they were
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: guarding and and uh, they forced a punt and he's celebrating.
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: And it's a little embarrassing because it's like, what are
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: you celebrating for. The receiver dropped the pass, your defender
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: was wide open. The quarterback through a terrible ball, right,
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: And it's that's kind of our defense I feel like,
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: is we don't necessarily just make plays and force them
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: to punt. It's more we need a lot of help
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: from that offense to shoot themselves in the foot. And
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: I think in general it's a little I feel like
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: fans are waiting to see what direction the Jones are
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: going to go with any change that's going to going
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: to come up, right? Are they going to just lean
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: on returning players coming back from injury and just hope
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: that the draft is going to eventually propel us this
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: defense into what it needs to be, which would be
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: a long wait because we have personnel on the defense
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: right now that we're brought here to play in Quinn's defense,
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: and so to see that that turnover to Fluce's defense
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: would take some time. Or is it going to be, hey,
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: let's make a splash or trade and let's try to
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: get some some help in now to com you know,
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: to compliment the prolific offense that we can be. So
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: that's just my thoughts and what I feel like a
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: lot of the fans are waiting to see what direct
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: and the Jones.
• 42:00
  Speaker 15: Are going to go.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we all are. Thanks for the call, Corey,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: And you know you mentioned about defensive players on this
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: team celebrating after you know, a pass deflection or whatever.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: That that's kind of football, right, that's everybody means to
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: every every league, every level, high school. Everyone's doing the
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: seat belt on defense. It doesn't matter what the score is.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if the past, you know, hit a cheerleader.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: It didn't matter if if the past wasn't caught. Everyone's
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: making some great play. Cool and you know, and it
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: is embarrassing, and it also kind of shows that you
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: don't really care. That's what I look at. I look
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: at when you when you're celebrating some play when you're
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: down by seventeen points, twenty one points. It kind of
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: shows exactly what matters to you, and that's your stats
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: and how you're doing and how you're playing and all
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: that not not so much. You know, who's what the
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: score is or stuff like that. Believe me. And it's
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: happened forever. I remember antonio'briant catching a touchdown in the
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Meadowlands down thirty seven to nothing, caught a touchdown, slammed
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: it over the goalpost, so that score finished thirty seven
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: to seven. You know, he got his touchdown. I mean,
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: you know, it's nothing new, it's the way it is.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's what it is? Rick and Saint Charles Missouri?
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 43:16
  Speaker 14: Rick?
• 43:17
  Speaker 18: Now? Much?
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: How are things going today?
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: Are you good? I don't think you can fix this defense.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: It is what it is. I thought about a month
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: or so. I think I called in and said something then.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: But I think there's a mismatch and talent and I
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: don't know if it's style or coaching or whatever, but
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: that's where it is. And I don't see how you
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: can fix that at the trade deadline. There's just too
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: much it needs to happen. Probably going to need at
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: least one draft, maybe more than one, to fix what's
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: going on. And I don't know that many people expected
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: the defense to be much better than what it is
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: going into the season, or a preseason rather or a
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: training camp. And then you take Mike out of the picture,
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: and you know, how's it going to be the same
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: or any better. It's just not, you know. And I've
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: watched him some and I don't I don't lament it anymore,
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: but I just see him play for Green Bay and
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: they're a very talented team on defense, so he's just
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: eating it up, you know, And it's just like I
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: expected him to do. Ye, So and I don't think
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: me personally, I don't look forward or back anymore. We
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: are where we are if you really analyze it, and
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: I will for ten seconds that the number of games
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: that are left, they have to win most of them,
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: are not nearly all of them to get into playoffs,
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: and so I don't see that being possible. I like
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: the process. I like to watch them build a team
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: and that kind of thing, and that's the way I'm
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: going to focus on it. And then after the Sea
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: reason's over, count up the wins and losses and see
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: if they're qualifying and then go from there. So that's
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: pretty much it, just a little rant commentary. I like,
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: I like watching football, and I'm gonna watch it. I'm
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: disappointed in how the season's turning out, but really it's
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: not that outrageous. It could have gone either way at
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: the beginning of the season. So hopefully they'll get a
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: couple of wins. I'm a little worried about the Cardinals
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: on Monday, but hopefully they'll get another win.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks, thank you, all right, appreciate that. Yeah,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: good stuff. And they are going to have to They're
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: gonna have to win more games than they lose for
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: without a doubt down the stretch, we know that uh
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: five and four in the final nine games is going
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: to put them into you know, eight, eight and one.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: That's probably that's not gonna get it done. So they're
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: gonna have to even be better than that. Let's go
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: to break one more time on story that I'd be
• 45:47

  Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: All right back here on Cowboys Storyline here to wrap
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: this thing up. And man, the Cowboys need to get
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: a big win Monday night against Arizona. We all know that.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of the way this this season has
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: gone a lot of seasons here in the last few
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: years of the up down, back forth, and and you know,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys have been really good at home and that's
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: where where they're going back to. Now they're gonna face
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: an Arizona team that has also been pretty good here
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: at at AT and T Stadium. And and their quarterback
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: issues are interesting. I mean they you know, they've they've
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: lost five straight games and Kyler Murray's had a foot injury.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: He supposed to be eligible to come back. I don't
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: think it's a slam dunk that he will be back
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: for this game. Jacobe Brissett's played pretty pretty well. They
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: have won game, so they've had close games. Now Kyler Murray, though,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: is has done He's I think he's undefeated at AT
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: and T Stadium. I know he's won a couple of
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: games with the Cardinals, but he was his legendary quarterback.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: And most these guys were in high school, but Kyler
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Murray was pretty legendary with Allen High School and they
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: won all these games. They won a lot at AT
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: and T stadums, but very familiar with this place. We'll
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: see what happens on Monday night. Like I said, Arizona's
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: lost five straight games, all of them by combined thirteen points.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: So they're very very close in these games. They're coming
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: off of bye week. Let's see what happens the Cowboys
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: kind of like meeting at the door here at the
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: buy door, like they're coming off to buy Cowboys about
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: to go into it. We'll see how they are. I
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: know there's a lot of injuries that a lot of
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: people want to say, hey wait wait till next week
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: coming back from the Raiders, but they got to get
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: this win. So if the guy is ready to play healthy,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: to play like Cooper Bebee. I think he comes back.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe about Malee Cooker, I'm not sure if he's ready
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: just yet. They want to see Donovan Wilson. They got
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: to have some safeties in here there again, like I said,
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: one call away from getting Darren Woodson back here. But
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: we'll see. Been a fun show. Love to hear from
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: you guys. Appreciate all the calls. And we'll see if
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: we can get this thing turned around. It should be
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun. We'll see what happens next week
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: when the Cowboys take on the Arizona Cardinals on Monday
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Night Football. We'll talk to you next time.
