  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.

  Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: What is up? Good morning everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman. Thursday, January the eleventh, just a few
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: days away from the game we all care about Cowboys
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and Packers in the Wildcard Round at AT and T Stadium.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I really hate calling it the wildcard round.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. It just does it just
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it just bothers me. Like when you're like the number
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: two seed and you're the division winner and you're not
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a wildcard and you haven't been one, and then it's
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the wildcard round. I wish they would call it something different.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what. Just seems like it's the first
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: round of the playoffs, but it's just wildcard round. It's like, yeah,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: but they're on a wild car But anyways, I don't know.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: That's why. That's always kind of bothered me a little bit.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But doesn't matter. This is the one that that matters
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: is this game coming up Cowboys and Packers. We'll talk
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit about it. I know the calls the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: last few days have been you can tell there's that excitement,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that anxiousness, if you will, about the game, but and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: also about what this could mean, just how how exciting
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it is. Because the Cowboys have a lot of things
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in front of them, but it seems like every time
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: there's a call or two about that, there's another one
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that stops and says, whoa, whoa, whoa hold up? Hold up?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: You know, don't don't look past this one. And no
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: one's really looking past this one. I think everyone's just
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: so excited for it to get here and see what happens,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: all right. Eight eight eight eight five five two two
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: nine seven is the number two call? You can text
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: us eight one seven. You can text us, uh eight
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: one seven. There it is two nine zero three two
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: nine eight. I got to get that one memorized. Let's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: get to the phone line. Let's start it off. Tyrones
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in Georgia. What's up, hey, Nick? How you doing good?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I'm great, I'm super excited. And I keep hearing this
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: that everything feels different this year, and I feel myself
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I'm not near as anxious as I am excited. So uh,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's a better feeling going into the playoffs.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I'm it is a different feeling.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It is different. Every year is different in its own way,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, this one is this one does
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: feel a little bit different. It won't matter if if
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they don't play well and they lose it, it won't matter
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: what the feeling is. But as it stands right now,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it does it does feel a little bit different.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: All right, I've got a question and then a comment.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: The question is more NFL related overall. It seems like
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I was looking for the playoff schedule the Saturday night
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: with the Chiefs and Dolphins, and I couldn't find it
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: on regular broadcast TV, and I looked in its streaming only.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Am I correct about it?
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Peacock, Yeah yeah, I believe. Well, yeah, you got to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: get Peacock and the NBC streaming service.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, yeah, okay, And I'm just old school.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: It just seems seems strange to me that you have
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: to go that route. But anyway, the time I have
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: is the fact that up until this year, it seems
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: like if a big name player went out, everybody just
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: freaked out, lost confidence. Oh my gosh, what are we
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: going to do and never a whole let down. But
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: this year feels a lot different. It feels like everybody
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: just pulls together. Next man up. You know what you've
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: always heard, but it wasn't always so with the Cowboys.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: What what's your what's your thought on that? What's changed?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Well? Thank you, thank you for the call, uh Tyrone.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I think what's changed. I mean, listen, if you have
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: if you have tough injuries, it's gonna be hard to overcome.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Every team UH has to deal with it. And it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: depends on who you have and who you have behind him.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I think you know, and I've said this before. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: remember it being at training camp and someone told me
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: one of the scouts said, you know, our best our
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: best cornerback is Dearn Bland. I mean, Diggs is great,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Gilmore is really really good too, but the best best
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: one we have is Duran Bland. And as as surprising
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: as that was, I was like, oh, that's interesting. That's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: one opinion, but that's interesting. And then as it turns out,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: they needed to lean on that, and so that that's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: probably one thing is that you had a guy like
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Deron Bland that's that's ready to take over and there
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't much of a drop off, and then and then
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you know, late in Vanderesh, there was a drop off there,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: but they were able to kind of piece it together.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So they've you know, and then you know, knock on wood,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: they haven't had a lot of other injuries like that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: on offense, you know, offensive line in Arizona that was
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a problem, but they were able to pick it up
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: against Washington and and and and and not be the case.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So I just think it's a it's a it's a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: case of having you know, good backups, good coaching and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and everyone kind of buying into the system. And but
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you know, they've had some key injuries, but they've also
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: been rather fortunate too as well. All Right, Gary in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, next caller, Hey, Nick, how you doing good? Gary?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: I'm good? I got some playoff trivia for you to
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: all right, all right, the Cowboys have had six quarterbacks
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: in their history that have won a playoff.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Game on the road on the road. Okay, but are.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Those six of those six quarterbacks? How many have won
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: more than one playoff game on the road.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: M all right, So we've got Dak and White, Danny
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: White and Berline and Aikman and stallback and I'm missing
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: one maybe Cigg Morton. Craig Morton. Okay, so then how
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: many how many have won more than one?
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: Only one?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's not It wouldn't be Aikman and it wouldn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: be Burdline, and it would I don't think it's Danny
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: White either, is cig.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Got the no, no, no, no, Only one quarterback in
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: couple of histories won more than one road playoff game.
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: This is a slam.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Dunk Stawa stop.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's Roger Stalbinch. And here's the here's the cool
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: thing about that, because Roger Staubach's poster that I had
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: hanging on my wall when I was seven years old,
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: it's still hanging on my office wall today. My daughter
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: got it reframed and refurnished for me. I mean, that
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: was my guy. And he's wearing the royal blue jersey
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: the old worlds. Oh yeah, it's just sweet. Anyway, So
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: Roger Staubach was five and one on the road in
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: the playoffs.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Nice, he only.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: Lost one game on the road in the playoffs, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: that included two NFC Championship wins. But anyway, yeah, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: that just goes to show you how hard it is
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: to do. Yeah, that's hard to win on the road
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: in the playoffs, and we don't have to worry.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: You're right. I was kind of I was kind of asking,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: like why you asking this question?
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Like, no, no, because remember I call last week, let
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: the cake bake.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: Let the cake bake.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: Well, the cake smells pretty good right about now?
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, it does, and you got to do
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: now is decorated?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Decorated? All right? I like it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Put the frost thing on. That's why I think the
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: Cowboy you wrote a good article about why this season
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: feels a little bit different, and that Washington game felt
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: a little bit different. They had to overcome some adversity
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: in the first part of that game, they had to
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: overcome losing both of their starting guards, and yet they
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: went out there and did not lay down for they
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: were playing to win that game, and Dallas just went
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: out there and they seized it. They took it, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: that's why it feels different. But here's my reason they
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: can do something special this year. Of all the teams
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: in the playoffs, Dallas is the only team with a
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: top five offense, a top five defense, and a top
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: five special teams Union, so they're balanced. Dak Prescott, I think,
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: is playing as well as any quarterback in the league,
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: and I think Mike McCarthy has a lot to do
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: with that. Seedee Lamb is on a different planet. And
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: this is the question I have for you, because I've
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: been concerned about the running game all year, but when
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: I looked at it, when I looked at the stats
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: this week, they're running games not horrible. I mean, their
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: top three rushers all average four yards of carrier better
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: Pollard squeaked over a thousand yards. Their running game is adequate.
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: So my question to you is do you think their
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: running game is good enough? If Dak and everybody else
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: are doing their thing, do you think their running game
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: is good enough to carry them through to a Super Bowl?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the call. No, I don't think
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: their running game is good enough to carry them to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I don't think though, and I don't
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: know if you do either. But since that's how you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: worded it, that's how I'm going to answer it. Do
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I think the running game is adequate enough? Yes? And
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I think the problems are is when it gets to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: this team can throw the ball all over the yard.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Look at the stats. The stats are ridiculous this year,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: especially the way here in the second half of the season.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The connection that Dak has with CD Ferguson cooks those guys.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It's really turned in the corner. You get a game
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: where it's tougher to throw. Buffalo was one of them.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, Miami kind of a little bit with the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: rain and wet ball there a little bit, but then
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you have to kind of lean on the running game
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. That's where I think it's a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: little bit of a problem. But when your running game
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: just has to be complementary to a stellar path, then yes,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's good enough. So when you think about
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the chance of playing a home game here got to win.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: If you do, you get another home game. You gotta win.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: If you do, then you get a home game, or
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you go to San Francisco, and I think from a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: weather standpoint, you should be fine there to do what
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you do best. So I think the running game is
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: good enough to compliment a passing game that shouldn't be
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: compromised in the playoffs. That's what I think, all right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Gabe in Knoxville, Tennessee, Hey, Hey, Nick, what's up? Gabe,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: I'm good.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: First time caller?
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: First time caller?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Go, Let's do it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: That's great. I'm excited at Rocky Top. That's right, Go
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: Rocky Top.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know about go Rocky Top. I just like
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the song, actually I do. I like that song. So
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: what's up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: It's a good song. Well, first, I just want to
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: say I appreciate you. I think you really eximplify what
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: it means to be a fan of the Cowboys for us,
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: you know, thank you Steady always support, you know, supporting
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: the team. I'm always excited, and so I appreciate that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: I think you know, a good a good model for Cowboys,
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: not reactionary.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I have my days. I have my days. But but
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: but that's what so do y'all. I mean, that's what
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the fans you know do. I mean, ultimately, we're here.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You know, you're not going anywhere. It's just that, uh yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you know, you have your moments where you're kind of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: up and down a little bit.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: But right, we're all human.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: But and then I just want to say, I really
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: think we're gonna we're just gonna beat the Packers bad.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: I think it's they're going to be just deflated. They're
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: not going to have energy by halftime. We're just going
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: to run them out of AT and T and uh.
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: I think Dak is the main reason behind that. He's
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: laser focused right now. He's playing his best football and
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: a big reason why, I think is because he's supported
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: by Mike McCarthy. You can tell just by some of
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: the calls coach McCarthy is making, you know, like like,
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: I mean, we obviously disagree with passing it in some
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: of the situations that he has, especially late late in
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: the game in Detroit, but like we said, it's because
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: he has full faith and what Dak's doing and so
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: and then I just had a question about the offensive line. Obviously,
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: we saw brock Hoffman TJ. Bass playing really well in Washington,
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: and I mean it was against the Washington football team,
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: you know, if you want to call him the football team,
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: but it's still a professional NFL football team and they
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: were trying to win the game and they played really well.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: So if we get into a scenario where which it's
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: happened in the past, Tyron Smith isn't able to play
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: for whatever reason, I'm not trying to jinx anything, right
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: or if Tyler Smith isn't playing up to, you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: the standard we want in a left guard. What are
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: we looking at in terms of what you think they
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: might do in terms of brock Off and TJ. Bass.
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: Let's say Tyron Smith goes down. Are they moving Tyler
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: Smith out to left this year?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about this year in the playoffs?
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: Right? Right?
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: If something were to happen in the next couple of games.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I mean, that's a good question. That's
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a good question if you you know you are. You
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: said you're not trying to jinx things, but.
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: I'm really I'm trying.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I'm trying my best, all right, Gabe, Thanks for the call.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that first time Callerr love it. Going into dipping
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: into Knoxville, Tennessee. Good, good question, because there are some
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: options there. I mean, you've got too many. DOGA who's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: played a left tackle hasn't necessarily played great there. They
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: picked up Lyle Collins. He's on the pre the squad.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: We'll see how his development is and how ready he
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: is to play. I think I think the having Bass
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and Hoffman played like they have, I don't think they
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: want to kick out Tyler Smith this year, they've been
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: trying to go against that. You might have to you know,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you get into a game and maybe that is your
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: best option. But I think if something were to happen
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: earlier in the week, I think they would practice idoga
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: or or Lyell Collins there at tackle if he had
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to go that route. But it is it's a good
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: problem to have to have the options there, knowing that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: they can count on Bass uh and count on on
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Hoffman as well. So we'll see. Hopefully it doesn't get
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to that. Tyler Tyler, Tyron Smith sorry, has been playing
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: pretty well. He's been playing really good when he's healthy
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and and he's been relatively healthy, so uh, that's a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: good sign to have him play like he's played all right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Vince in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Hey man, what's going on?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: How are you good?
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: Good?
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: Good?
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: So it was great yesterday when you had a good
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: show there about talking about the superstitious. I just wondering
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: on you. You go for walks and all this stuff here.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Do you ever have something to eat during the game
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: or a favorite food or no?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: No, I mean you know what.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: You're nervous huh.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: It used to be for some reason at home games.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, just because it was there in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the in the fountain machine, I guess. But I would
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: drink mountain dew's all the time on game day. Only
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: on game day. I don't really drink mountain dew unless
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I'm writing a book. If I'm writing a book and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I have to stay up till three or four in
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the morning, I'll go mountain dew and crush it. But
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that's really it, though, And I don't really do that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I chomp on ice a little bit, and the people
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: next to me, and they're in the games and at home.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: You know, it's always been Derek and Todd Archer from ESPN,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and they're always kind of like a you're good on
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the ice side. I don't realize. I maybe it's a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: nervous thing. That's it. I don't that's really it. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: don't really.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I think I think that is too because when I
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: was younger, I would I would scream at the TV. Yeah,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: But now since I'm older, I just calm like, hey,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you know me, just yell know. He is not going
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: to do anything. But the players are gonna play like
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: you're gonna play. My favorite player is Cornell green Back
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: in the day the Cowboys used to get uh not
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: some draft churses, but they would check out the basketball players, right,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: different different types of way to get the athletes in.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of cool. Do you remember
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the last player, uh that the Cowboys maybe picked up
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: that was really not a full uh football player? Recal
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: what what what did he play?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Well? He was he was he played at Baylor. He
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: was a basketball player at Baylor, and he was he
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: led the nation and rebounding uh and and and he
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: played tied in play a whole lot, but he was
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: uh and that was what four or five years ago.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: You know, he played Summit tied end. I mean that's
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: you know, that's that that was more of a Gil
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Brandt text Ram Tom Landry type thing back in the eighties. Yeah.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, and because you had twenty seven draft picks
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to do that with and and and and so, and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: some of them hit, you know, like Bob Hayes outstanding
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Cornell Green. You know, I mean those they they drafted
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: pat Riley, I believe right from the coach the draft.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: They drafted Carl Lewis the sprinter. You know, sometimes it
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: works out sometimes, you know, you're just throwing That's that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I think is when the NFL realized, Okay, they have
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: too many draft picks. I mean, if they're doing that,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: let's don't let's don't waste it. I think it's a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: good number right now. Seven rounds is a good number
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: for the draft. And then and then after that, you know,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the guys don't get drafted, then they can kind of go,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know, in free agency where they want to go.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: What's a good spot for them. So I think it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: it's pretty good.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: So here we go.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: Here we go.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: First, No, no, no, this I called a few times, but.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Excuse me.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Then you get the Jimmy.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: There you go. I love that all.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: So this is my prediction. And I'm not superstitious. So
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys. No, I know the Cowboys are
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: gonna win this week. Yes I know. So uh, don't
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: freak out, guys, just just buckle up. Your pants is
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: here and let's just do this.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys gonna know. Like I said, I
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: know they're gonna win, and they're gonna win big. I
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: think I'm pretty sure.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: And uh, I just I just think that way.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I used to a little superstitious here and there, but uh,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I threw that out the window with the bathwater, but
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: not with the baby.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: But I think, I think.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I know they're gonna win this weekend. All you Cowboys
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: fans out there, don't, don't go ahete on me. But
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do it. And come uh Sunday night, Monday morning,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the grass is gonna be greener, flower is gonna be there.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: It might be white. Good, it might be white on
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Monday morning.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: Honestly, Uh doubt in Albuquerque, probably not.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be cold, cold.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks man for the call. Thank you. I
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: love how he corrected himself like four times. I really think.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I know, I mean, I think
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I know. So he's like gotta he's got to fit,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you know, correct himself a little bit. He knows the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to win. I don't think you're wrong
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: with that assessment. I really don't. I think that Cowboy
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: fans feel the same way. And uh, yeah, the game
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: is not played on paper. It's not we know this.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: We know they have to execute. But they've executed all
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: year long. They've played really really good at home, and uh,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you know that's why you play seventeen games. It's not
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a small sample size. It's a it's it's a long,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: long season where you really the best teams are there
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and they're you know, slotted accordingly. It's so much better
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: than obviously college football, where it's like, you know, you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: have to have style points, you have to people have
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to stay well. I think they're better than them. It
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Power rankings and all that crap. We do it,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: we see it. Power rankings, they don't matter. They don't matter.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: You're just slotted in. You play who you're supposed to play.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to rich in, New Jersey.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, first time calling?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I've been watching the Cowboys since I
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: was ten years old. It goes back to nineteen sixty nine.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: And the one thing about watching all those teams all
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: those years is the coach. And you know, when Landry
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: stepped on the field, I felt confident. When Parcel stepped
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: on the field, to tell confident, when Jimmy stepped on
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the field, it's all confident. Yeah, I don't know how
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: confident I feel. I like the coach. He's proved himself
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: twelve and five three years in a row. But that's
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: where I guess they get a little nervous. But I
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: will say this, this team has been very consistent all
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: year long, and they learned to get through some adversity.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: You know, the Niners loss three in a row, Eagles
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: lost more. Cowboys didn't do that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: This year.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: They find a way and they keep plugging away.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: This will be the year.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, I think so, I mean,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I I that's that's Those are the examples when you say,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: why does it feel different? You're right, it's those things
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, they hit a rough patch there in
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Miami Buffalo, you know, but it was, you know, it
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: was one of those things where I mean we expected that,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: we expected it was going to be tough. They had
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a chance to win one of those games for sure.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: So uh but yeah, so you're gonna lose.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: You're gonna lose a game, you know, here or there.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Nobody's going to be perfect. So well, let's see if
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: they seemed to climb back.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Let's see if they've lost their last one. I mean,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that's what everyone's hoping for. So right, all right, rich
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: first time caller, can we get it? Erica? Thank you,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: have a nice day. All right, Let's go to a
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: text line question. This is Mike from Denver, Colorado. He goes,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I realize you have not been part of a conference
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: championship or a Super Bowl. When it happens, will you cry?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: How do you think you will react? Overall, lastly, the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Packers are good. Do you think they might be a
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: little overrated? Well, let me start with that part. There
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: is no overrated, Like that's kind of what I just said.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: There's no underrated, there's no overrated. That is what's the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: best part about pro football is there's no ratings, there's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: no it's you. They're nine and eight, they're the seventh seed.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: That's the way the formula goes. That's where they are.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter about anyone's opinion about them, because they're in
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and they get and they've earned the right
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to do that. So no, I don't think they're all
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: overrated underrated. I don't think anyone in the league is.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not the way it is now. Individual players, MVP,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, stuff like that. Yeah, you can throw that
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: out there if you want, but not from a team standpoint.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You are what you are, and I mean that's that's
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: why it is. They won three straight games to get here,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: they you know, the way they you know, they barely
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: beat the Panthers barely. You know, they struggled with the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Bears a little bit, but that's your division game. You
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: kind of expect that last game of the season like that.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: And then they beat Minnesota, went went on the road
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and beat Minnesota, So I think that they're playing good football.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: They've also beaten Kansas City on the road, so I think.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna come in here and be,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: you know, in awe of anything. Uh So, it's gonna
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: be a tough matchup. They're gonna be They're gonna bring
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: everything they have. Is it good enough to beat the Cowboys?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: We'll see. But no, I don't. I don't think they're underrated,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: over ated, any of that stuff. If they if the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Cowboys get there, will I cry? I don't know. Sorry,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Well, I know one
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: thing that I'll do is and usually he's right next
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to me anyways, But at the end of the game,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: who knows how it all shakes out. But I'll find Derek.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I'll find Derek and we'll we'll we'll we'll talk about
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: it or something. I don't know it. You know, he's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: been here with me for you know, this is our
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth season of we'll be in the playoff games
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And and I know there's been
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: some people that are like, I just hope they get
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to go, you know, go to the ship. And we
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it. We haven't been able to do it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what the reaction will be, but
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I know it'll be a cool moment, and it'll be
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: one that I'll I'll make sure and find Derek and
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: we'll have a moment whatever that, whatever that is, I
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: don't know. All right, let's go to Justin in California.
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: Hey, Nick, talking to you again.
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: All right, So.
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: You know this whole Dan Quinn thing, you know that
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: just up you know, like Pete Carroll's Carol Lets the Seahawks,
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: and you know, now they're saying, oh, dan Quinn, this
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: is a perfect match for room. And and then you
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: have Cowboys fans saying, hey, we better do everything we
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: can to.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: To make him head coach.
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: You know some of the fans on Facebook and Reddit,
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: and I'm just not understanding why we're so quick to
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: kick McCarthy out and put Quinn in when we have
• 25:24
  Speaker 10: seen Quinn as a head coach, and so, yeah, he
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: made it to a Super Bowl, he blew it and
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: that was with Kyle Shanahan and they didn't win the game. Yeah,
• 25:34
  Speaker 10: And for consecutive seasons after that as a head coach,
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: Kyle Shanahan leaves, Dan Quinn was still head coach, and
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: he progressively got worse. Maybe he's just not a good
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: head coach, and maybe he's just a very brilliant defensive coordinator,
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: and maybe we should just keep him, do everything we
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: can to keep him around. I don't understand the whole
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: fascination with trying to make him a head coach when
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: we have a perfectly good head coach right now.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: He's proven it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: Whether whether he doesn't win in the playoffs or not,
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: it's not always completely his fault. Like he can't just
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: place the blame on this man. And I think if
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: he makes it to at least an NFC championship, there
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: is no way in hell that he's gonna get fired.
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: It would be the stupidest decision ever.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: So that was my main point.
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: And then you know, just the prediction that I have,
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: I feel, I don't feel it's going to be a
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: blowout by the Cowboys. I think it's going to be
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: a tight game. And I think as long as we
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: could keep Aaron Jones and I think AJ Dillon under wraps,
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: because we all know that's still a problem for us.
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: If we keep that under wraps, I think we pull
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: away with this win. And I think it's gonna come
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: down to Michael Parsons or de Law making a big
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: play at the end, just like they kind of did
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: at the Chargers game.
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: And now hang up and listen.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I'll address the first part he said.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, dan Quinn is got some you know, opportunities.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a lot of people, a lot
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: of teams I think that are interested in him. And
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and then Seattle, obviously, that one seems to make sense,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: especially with Pete Carroll still being there, you know, like
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: he was under Pete Carroll there, you know, when they
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl and went back to the next
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: year and and then I think, you know, Pete Carroll
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: still be an advisor and all that. So, uh, that's
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a that seems like a good situation for for dan Quinn,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he obviously has had some opportunities
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and it hasn't. I'm not gonna say it worked out.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: It just the o the Cowboys kept him one way
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: or another, paid him a lot more, and it just
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't what he wanted to do at that time pursue
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: those those opportunities. Seattle could be different, and so we'll see,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: we'll see how it all shakes out. And also when
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: that happens, if it's during the season still and the
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are still going, you know, it's there's different ways
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: to handle it. He's made it pretty clear though that
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: he did some of this prep work, interview stuff, all
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: of these things. He does that in the off season
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: as far as getting him his interview process in place
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and all that, so it's not something he's having to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: do right now. He's already kind of done that. So
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: when he doesn't go and when he does interview, and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: if it's even during the season, it shouldn't take a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: lot of his time and focus in preparation away. If
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: there's one guy that I think could handle this, it
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: would be Dan Quinn, very professional like, and so you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it's not so much him, it's maybe some of the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: people that he might take with him. And and how
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: how all that's handled. So, but you know, it is,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: it is what it is now. Asper McCarthy, I mean,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: that's that seems ridiculous to me. I mean, guys won
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: twelve games three years in a row. No, no coach
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: has ever done that in Cowboy's history. And that's kind
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: of what I say. If you want to if you
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: want to make a change, if somebody wants to make
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: a change, it better start there. Better start with someone
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: that's that's done that, you know, give me somebody that
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: has that kind of success, you know, and he's won
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and all that. So I think that's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous. He's I don't know if you really
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: want to start over there when you're building something really
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: really strong here, all right, Josh in Utah, Yeah, sure,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: hey Josh.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: For collar right, Josh.
• 29:25
  Speaker 12: Quick question. So when they're like on the Lions game,
• 29:29
  Speaker 12: right and it's big offense got the ball, our defense
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: is struggling. At what point do you just kind of
• 29:37
  Speaker 12: say let them score because they still have two minutes
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: left and they pretty much drove the whole clock out.
• 29:46
  Speaker 12: Why not just let him score, get our offense to
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: the ball back and then let us drive. Does that
• 29:52
  Speaker 12: make sense. Yeah, I mean, let us finish with the
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: ball in our hands.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I yeah, I understand what you're what
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you're saying there, But you know that at that point,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: they've scored thirteen points and you've already had a goal
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: line stand on them. So why do they have to
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown and you don't have to have they
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: don't have to score a touchdown. I mean, you can
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: stop them in four downs and and and win the game.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You know, you know they have to score a touchdown.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't know about letting them score when you're
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: up by seven. They've only scored one touchdown today. I mean,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I think the focus is get Micah Parson after their
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: ass and try to try to stop them. You know,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: it didn't it didn't happen, but you know, force it
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: on them, you know what. Think about it. Think about
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: letting them score and then they go for two on you,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: because it clearly was going to go for two, and
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: then then it got the lead, and then you go
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: down and you don't get the infield goal range and
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you lose because you let them score and you lost
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the game. I mean, like, I don't know about that.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: There are times where you do let them score, you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: like maybe when the game is tied and then and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: then you're like, all right, you know they're gonna kick
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: field goals, score touch so might as well just do that.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: But not, I don't think when you're up by seven.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I think I think a defensive mentality is we're going
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to stop them.
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: You know, right.
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: But there's been a few games this year there's just
• 31:11
  Speaker 12: three or four minutes left and we weren't stopping them.
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: No.
• 31:14
  Speaker 12: I was just curious, do they ever actually just let
• 31:16
  Speaker 12: them score?
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: There's times for it, you know, but teams are smart too,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: like like in Miami, they you know, they weren't going
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: to let them score. I mean like like I mean
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Miami wasn't going to score touchdown. You know, you could
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: have you could have let them the game was tied, No, No,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Cowboys were up by one and they were just trying
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to get into a field goal. You could have theoretically
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: let them score. But I don't think they were going
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to do that. They weren't going to score touchdowns. So
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: sometimes teams, teams know that and they're like, all right,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: we're gonna just you know, we don't have you can't
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: just pick me up and throw me into the end
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: zone for a touchdown. I mean, like so it kind
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: of goes both ways.
• 31:55
  Speaker 12: All right, answer my question.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Josh, thank you for your book.
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: Man, your book's awesome.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Thank you so much. All right, Josh and Utah,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: all right, let's keep it going. We've got another Josh,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Josh and Grosspec Texas.
• 32:10
  Speaker 13: Yes, sir. How you doing today, budd.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Right, what's going on? What are you doing?
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: All?
• 32:15
  Speaker 13: Help man on this travel.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: On the gravel around?
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Yeh's what I'm doing.
• 32:22
  Speaker 13: Man. You know, I've been I've been talking with some
• 32:25
  Speaker 13: friends and all that good stuff, and it's amazing how
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: people just it's my past, the Cowboys on ex assist
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: this year and seasons past. You know, yeah, you take
• 32:37
  Speaker 13: this because of they come up short in the playoffs
• 32:41
  Speaker 13: in the last twenty years.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I mean this team gets judged by the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: successes and failures of other teams. It's an easy it's
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: an easy number to put that on there. You know,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: nobody does that with the Lions. I'm looking at like
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: the TV of that screen has the Lions. I mean,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: who's never won this brow? But I mean, no one
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: does it with all these other teams both with the Cowboys,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and it's funny because that's the standard they have. They
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: obviously have that standard for the coupe. So it's just
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: an easy it's an easy target to you know, target
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: on Jerry Jones to say, oh, they haven't won in
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: twenty eight years, you know, haven't won the super Bowl
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: twenty because that's the expectations that everybody has for the Cowboy.
• 33:23
  Speaker 13: So yes, well, I know, Dank never better tulp about
• 33:27
  Speaker 13: dan Quinn might be going over here over there, you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 13: and uh, I don't want Matt McCarthy to go nowhere.
• 33:34
  Speaker 13: Regardless of this season. I think the man that has
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: got only something. I see them making the super Bowl
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: the next year too, if not this year. Right, And
• 33:43
  Speaker 13: for my prediction on tomorrow, I mean at tomorrow, a Sunday,
• 33:48
  Speaker 13: I'll see it thirty five.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, they say we're going.
• 33:52

• 34:03

• 34:11
  Speaker 1: bet you. It's fun. I bet it's fun to watch
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: you watch the game, so.
• 34:15
  Speaker 13: Oh yeah, I get into it. Man, my boy, I
• 34:18
  Speaker 13: remember one time when he was my oldest boys four
• 34:21
  Speaker 13: years old, and yeah, I said a certain word whenever
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: it was messing up, and he went around repeating it.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Oh of course, yeah, they don't you You could say
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: mayonnaise and and they would never repeat that. But if
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: you say something else, Oh yeah, they know. They have
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that radar. They just know. I don't know what it is.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Those kids know when a bad word comes in.
• 34:42
  Speaker 13: Oh yeah, they luck a little spoons. He just stuck
• 34:44
  Speaker 13: a road up many.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully they're they're excited right along with you this weekend.
• 34:50

• 34:57
  Speaker 13: in this time too cold longs in.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Oh that's not good. It's not a good sign. Maybe
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: we're losing callers. I don't know.
• 35:04
  Speaker 13: All right, no, hit the button.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: There you go, Thanks.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: Josh, thank you.
• 35:11
  Speaker 13: I appreciate it.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't know if this is prayer worthy
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: of getting into the storyline, but I definitely appreciate it.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: All right, Louise is on text message Louise. He's from
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: someone Park, New Mexico loved the show. This text is
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: from the Superstitious Deal. I'm very superstitiou when it comes
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to Cowboys games every week. I do believe Jimmy Johnson
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: curse has been lifted after all these years. It'll be
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: proven when the Niners losing Cowboys hosting the championship game.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I normally wouldn't put this out there, but I strongly
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: believe the curse has been lifted. All right, Luis, Uh maybe,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I mean I think it's one of those things where
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: let's let it, let's let it play out. Uh, if
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: all that happens, and I mean, because you have, let's
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: be honest, now, since that's happened, there's been some favorable
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: things that have that have helped the Cowboys. We know that,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: we see it. And yeah, if somebody like the Rams
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: knocks off the Lions and you you play the Bucks
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: of the Eagles and then the Rams beat the Niners
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: and you host the Rams and beat them, you got
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: to beat them, and you go to the super Bowl,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: then yeah, maybe the curse has been lifted. Or you
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: just go to San Francisco and you win I mean maybe,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: but again, not trying to get ahead of ourselves. But
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not believing in the curse has been lifted until
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I see a bunch of things that are different than
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen before.
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: So I have.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I've seen home playoff games. I've seen them have high
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: seeds like this. I haven't seen the championship game though,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: and I haven't you know, definitely haven't seen Super Bowl
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: from the Cowboys perspective. I've seen one at at and
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: C Stadium with the Packers, but I haven't seen, obviously
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: anything better than the Division A round. All right, Anthony
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and Miami.
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: What's up? Nick the quick?
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: Man?
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: You know I'm doing well. I called the show to
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: other day, right, I'm just in a different tone right now.
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: I called joy the other day that you left.
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: Man, I called hanging right.
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: Because I have called them in a couple of weeks,
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: but you. I was two calls after you left, so
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: I asked shading them where you was, and they said
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: you went on and the left and they will tell
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: you about my call. It was about happy. The thing
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: was happy. I said, I'm happy about everything, and everybody happy.
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: Happy to have to happy. That's just how I found it.
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: The reason I'm happy is because let's do another movie thing.
• 37:29
  Speaker 9: You know how we did the radio I did. I
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: shared the radio scene with you. I'm gonna share one
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: form one of my favorite movie, Roadhouse and Patty Wave.
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: He says, he said, I want you to be nice
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: until it's time not to be nice.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: And when is that?
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: And he said, I'll tell you so. I'm telling the
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: Cowboys it's time to not be nice. No handshakes, no
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: jersey swaps, It's time not to be nice. You see
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: what I'm saying, not to be nice. And this is
• 38:01
  Speaker 9: what the Cowboys are gonna do, because you know, in
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: the Prince of Positivity, I dubbed myself that we're gonna
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: win at least by thirteen, be a little rough early.
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: We're gonna pull away thirteen this week. And I'm saying
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: this is my this is my take. We're gonna beat
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: the breaks off whoever's next, and then we're gonna take
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: that theory of nice to his time not to be nice.
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: If there are any bullies that are left in the
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: NFC Championship Game, then we're gonna smack them in the mouth.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Be the bully. I mean how about that.
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: It won't be the bully. That's what I'm saying. We're
• 38:35
  Speaker 9: gonna smack them in the mouth, all right, So let
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: me give you let me give you something on football
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: players real quick. Okay, Roger, I heard somebody say, Roger
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: I never talked about my favorite players. My favorite player
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: ever is in miss Smith. The reason I started and
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: the first Cowboys I liked was Tony Gossett my first jersey,
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: and Rogers started back Captain America. Two Cowboys that I
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: have so much like for it's the ones that came
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: right around the Jimmy regime that stayed with the Tom
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: Lands regime, and that was Jim Jeff Cooche and Bill Bates.
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: And the reason why two longtime veterans. I guess they
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: were fan favorite. Yeah, fifteen year veterans, I believe or
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: something like that, and those were maybe those were two
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: of the ones. Michael Irvin said, these are the good
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: guys who can keep them.
• 39:19
  Speaker 11: They were hard.
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: So I'm just happy that with that, you know, they
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: was able to get their rings and stay unlike some
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: of the others, you know, Randy, them move about out gracefully,
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: and so I can't do it anymore. And the ones
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: who got cut or whatever. But those two I just
• 39:35
  Speaker 9: you know, I like guys like that who just stayed
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: with it and won those Super Bowls, you know, So
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: that's what's happening, all right, that's what we're gonna do.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Awesome, thanks Anthony. You know, I throw two more guys
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: in there on that list because Jimmy had kind of said,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: you know, there were some guys they weren't that good
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: of players, you know, back in the mid you know,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: mid eighties, late eighties, but they suddenly got really good
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: when you put a lot of other pieces around them.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: And I you know, Nate Newton is probably one where
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he wasn't good. I mean, I love Nate,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying Nate, you know, Nate was able to
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: become pro bowler, you know, one of the best players,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: one of the best guards in the NFL, you know,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and he was here in that early regime. Mark Tuena
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: is another one like that, where you know, tuine was
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes starting, sometimes not, and then you know
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: he was. They were both part of that great line
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: in Dallas, and so you know, you have to have
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: some really good coaching, really good players around them, Bates
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: and and like you said, Jeff co those are other
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: two more you know, a couple other hold overs, maybe
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: you know the Robert Williams types. And I'm trying to think,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just maybe Ken Norton junior. He was
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: drafted in eighty eight there with with Michael Irvin and
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: you know, Landry's last draft. But but yeah, it helps
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: to have great players around him for sure. All right,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: let's go to Scott in New Jersey.
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how are you say?
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Good Scott? What's going on?
• 41:07

• 41:10
  Speaker 6: but huge, huge fan. I've been following you and the
• 41:14

  Speaker 9: Not?
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: I did not write it for ESPN, not.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: Like some of the they published some of yours and
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: Rob Phillips articles. But anyways, they.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Did and we didn't know about it. I don't think so.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, not not them, but who knows? Who knows?
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: It's been following you and all your articles for such
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: a long time.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: My friend, Well, thank you appreciate that we got to
• 41:48

• 41:56
  Speaker 11: Is there?
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: It is awesome. So a couple got two brief questions.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: I'll try to get them as quick as possible. Not
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: got a smallers random my favorite sports movie football movie
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: was Necessary Roughnes. I don't think anybody's talking about that.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Not really, not not on the air, but we sort
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: of did. Yeah, un Necessary Roughness.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: Armadillo's Yes, sindbad everything. Loved that movie. Yeah, random, random
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: football player and I don't know whatever happened to his
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: career and he fizzled out. And just reminds me because
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: he was eighty eight was Antonio Bryant?
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Boy? He was he was something?
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: So yeah he was something? Right, Yes, So two quick
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: questions and then I'll hop off and listen to you.
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: So do you think the size of the linebackers with
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: Dallas just you know, they're a little light in size.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: I know lve Is is is out. I don't I
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: haven't seen the et a if he's coming back by
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: any chance, But do you think the side of the
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: linebackers may play a fact they're both in wildcard against Packers,
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: or you know, let's say they move on and if
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: maybe Rams could huge pull up an upset or anything.
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Do you think the sides of the linebackers are going
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: to be an impact or or hinderance to down us?
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: And I know we've I've heard other callers today talk
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: about just the passing game, but we're not given enough props.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Like I know, the running games a little slow this year,
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: but and and sporadic. But the passing game has been
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: pretty darn consistent all year long. But there has been
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: a couple uh, what would you say, gaps or games
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: where they look like that the passing games stalled and
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: then the offense kind of Yeah, I don't want to
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: do sputtered. So what's your what's your thoughts? I'll hang
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: up and listen.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, thank you for the call. Yeah,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I said earlier, I think I think
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: this is definitely a passing team. You know, you gotta
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: it's a passing team. That's where this that's where the
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: playmakers are, that's where the Cowboys really move the ball.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: But you gotta be able to run it to You
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: gotta be able to have complimentary games. And I think
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the games where the passing game has been a little
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: compromised and they have to lean on running games a
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: little bit more, that's where they've struggled. They've struggled a
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: little bit more. There, you said, Antonio Bryant. Of course,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: everyone kind of remembers the The Antonio Bryant Parcels story
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: that everyone knows or has heard of is when he
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: threw the jersey in his face in the middle of practice.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think he was here that much long after that.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: They traded him to Cleveland. He got upset and frustrated
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: in practice and took off his jersey and threw it
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: in Parcels face. The story that I remember was, uh,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: when he he walked in. There was a story that
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: like he walked in one day and he had this
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: like lime green shirt on, and Parcels used to stand
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: up or sit at the door and watch their players
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: come in, and he'd have a little something for all
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: of them, you know, just one little quip here and there.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: And apparently one day Antonio was walking in, you know,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: probably just doing his own thing. You know, he was
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: a little he was a little different guy, you know,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: And he said, uh, Antonio, you know, he wouldn't never
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: call him aby.
• 44:59
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: It's like, and Antonio, I love that shirt, just bright
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: neon green highlighter looking shirt. He's like, I love this shirt.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Can I get one? And he's like, no, Coach, you
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: can't get a shirt like this. No, no, no, Antonio,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: I want this. No no, you can't get this shirt.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Hey that you can't wear this?
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: No?
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? I love this Shirt's great? Now, Coach?
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: And went on for a little bit and finally he's like, oh,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: why can't I get the shirts? Because they don't make
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: six x Coach, they don't make a six XL. You
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: can't wear this. And everyone laughed except for Bill and
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: you knows. And I don't know. I don't know how
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: long where that was with the whole throwing the jersey
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: in his face, but clearly they had a little different
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: relationship there. Anyways, just thought i'd throw that story out there,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: all right, we have any more callers? We do one more?
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Alan in Long Island.
• 45:47
  Speaker 11: Hey, Nick, good morning, how are you morning?
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: You ready? Alan? You ready to go? I'm ready to go.
• 45:53
  Speaker 9: I'm ready to go.
• 45:54
  Speaker 11: I'm actually sitting in my car and I was gonna leave,
• 45:57
  Speaker 11: and I was like, you know.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Nick, real quick, Okay, appreciate it, called Nick and called
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the show real quick.
• 46:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 46:02
  Speaker 11: So I just I was talking to Chris about it.
• 46:06
  Speaker 11: When we drafted Michael Parsons, we drafted him as a linebacker,
• 46:09
  Speaker 11: right right. I believe he still had twelve sacks as
• 46:13
  Speaker 11: a rookie year. I think at least twelve sacks a
• 46:16
  Speaker 11: rookie year. But just if you can correct me, like
• 46:18
  Speaker 11: what percentage did he play his rookie year as a linebacker?
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: He was, well, he had like thirteen he had thirteen
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: sackses first year, thirteen and a half second year, and
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: then this year, I think he got to fourteen. So
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: he's he's getting a little bit better every time, but
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: he didn't like he played. I would say it was
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: about sixty pass rush. I mean it was. It was.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: It was back and forth a lot. You know, it
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't all the time because because it was a situation
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: going into the offseason of you know what, sorry, what
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: should they do? What should they do there? It wasn't
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: just you know, sixty sixty forty. It wasn't just full
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: time pass rusher.
• 47:03
  Speaker 11: Right, and then and then obviously his sophomore year and
• 47:06
  Speaker 11: his junior year he became more of a pass rusher.
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: Correct, Like he wasn't as much of a lineback.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the Cowboys, right, Yeah, yeah, Mike out yeah,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Mike no, no, I mean, I'm sorry, junior year, when
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: they're done, when they're done with college, I don't I
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: don't say that anymore. You're talking about second, third year, Okay, correct? Uh, yeah,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: he's I mean I think he's rushed the passer more
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: every time. Every year he's he's he's had more rushers.
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: So my question is, because obviously we're gonna have to
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: pay Micah. I'm sure if his agent and him are
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: going to say, well, you may have drafted him as
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: a linebacker, but we want him to get paid as
• 47:42
  Speaker 11: a defensive end because they get paid more money than linebackers. Yes,
• 47:48
  Speaker 11: my question is, since it seems like with Marquise Bell
• 47:52
  Speaker 11: at undersized linebacker slash safety hybrid and the moon Clark,
• 47:58
  Speaker 11: did we make a mistake and making him a full
• 48:02
  Speaker 11: time I guess pass rusher instead of having him as that,
• 48:08
  Speaker 11: having him as that linebacker pass rusher hybrid because his
• 48:13
  Speaker 11: rookie year twelve and a half sacks or whatever, thirteen
• 48:16
  Speaker 11: sacks and then look at him now as a full
• 48:18
  Speaker 11: time pass rusher, and it's only really been a sack
• 48:21
  Speaker 11: and a half difference.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I disagree with you. I really disagree with you.
• 48:26
  Speaker 11: I'm just asking. I'm just asking you, like I'm just thinking.
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: I was just thinking of a question. I was like,
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: you know what, let me ask Nick this with you're
• 48:31
  Speaker 11: saying that we shouldn't have done it. I'm just wondering,
• 48:34
  Speaker 11: did we make the mistake?
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, appreciate the appreciate the call. Here, we got
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: one more call we got to get to. Thanks for
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the call. But I'm gonna answer this question. I disagree because,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: and I've always said this, I don't like that saying
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades. I hate that.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I always say, and I've said this for years, and
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: pass rush because close can matter. Yeah, you didn't get
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: the sack, but the guy was you were screaming off
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the edge of the quarterback, peeing his pants. He just
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: throws it real quick, you know, on third and twelve
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: into the ground and they have to punt. You did something,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the sacks might be different. I guarantee. The attention is different,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: The pressures are way up. He leads the league in pressures.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: He gets after the quarterback, he gets after it. He
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: makes a difference and everyone knows that he's making a difference.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Just just answer this question wherever you think about making mistake.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: The Packers are driving down, they're down by four, they
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: need a touchdown, They're on the twenty two yard line
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: and it's fourth and nine. Where do you want Micah?
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Do you want him a linebacker and make sure that
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: he can cover the tight end or do you want
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: him on that edge going right after Jordan Love. You
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: answer that question and then you can you probably answer
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: your own question of where you want him and have
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: they made a mistake because I really think he needs
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: to get rushed. He needs to be rushing the quarterback
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: real quick. Eric in North Carolina, last call.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, how you doing. I'm doing well. I hope
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: you are. How about them?
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: Cowboy go?
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: First caller, first time?
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Act third time? But I never got the but I
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: never got back.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: You never got it. We'll give it to you never go.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: You got it.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Eric, I appreciate you and Chris, so I'm really excited
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: about the ring of Honor and Jimmy getting in and
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: it was really fun to see Darren Woodson and Charles
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Haley kind of nodding when when Jimmy was saying that
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: he was kind of a jerk at times.
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: But let's just say that that we do great in
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. And Jerry is in a great mood and
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: he comes to you and he says, Nick, I'm gonna
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: put in three players into the into the Ring of Honor,
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: one from the seventies, one from the eighties, and one
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: for and one from the nineties. Who would you put.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: In seventies, eighties and nineties. I'll go with I'll go
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: with Harvey Martin in the seventies. I'd go with Everson
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Walls in the eighties and in the nineties. If I
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: got just a guy from the nineties, man Nate Newton,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: one Nate Newton, that would be it. That would be
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: my three right there, real quick? Who would you put in?
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: I love when.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: I was thinking Harvey Martin and I was thinking everything
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Walls too, But just to go with with uh, someone different,
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: I would say it. Two Tall Jones because he was
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: always terrific. Yeah, And then from the eighties, I would
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: say Tony Hill, uh and from the nineties, I would
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: say j novichick j Novchick.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all good choices for sure. Yeah, But
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: I like, you know, I mean, you can make a
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: case for Dion too, honestly, because I mean we're putting
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: guys in. Charles Haley didn't play. I mean he played
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: five years, I think, and Jimmy coached here five years.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: And I mean Dion's, you know, arguably the greatest cornerback
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: to ever played. So I mean you could make a
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: case for Dion. But for me, Everson Walls. You know,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: just what with what happened with with with Ron Springs
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: and just that's the epitome of what a team that
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: is the Ring of honor. Plus he was a great player,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: absolutely great player. The teams weren't great in the eighties.
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: He was. Now.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Is it a coincidence that I named two guys on
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: our shows? Maybe maybe it is, but I tell me
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I mean, Eversin Walls, Nate Newton, both of
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: them have the accolades to be there, and they should
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: be in. Harvey Martin from the seventies, if you went sixties,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I'd say Cornell Green as well. All Right, great show, guys,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Chris Bean, thank you so much for working
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: in the back like you always do. We'll see you
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: tomorrow on Cowboys storyline.
• 52:30
  Speaker 10: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
