- 0:02Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
- 0:05Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 3: This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 4: What's up? It's time for Cowboys storyline. I'm Nick Eatman
- 0:24Speaker 4: here Thursday, November the second Cowboys taking on the Philadelphia Eagles.
- 0:29Speaker 4: What a game that is going to be. What a
- 0:32Speaker 4: good benchmark this will be for the Cowboys. We think,
- 0:35Speaker 4: you know, we thought it was when they played the
- 0:37Speaker 4: forty nine ers, but I have a feeling this one
- 0:39Speaker 4: will certainly give us a better test of where the
- 0:42Speaker 4: Cowboys are, where the Eagles are, where the best teams
- 0:46Speaker 4: in the NFC are for this week. So it should
- 0:51Speaker 4: be a lot of fun to talk about that. Go
- 0:52Speaker 4: through some of the matchups, see what you guys are thinking.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Who scares you the most about those Philadelphia Eagles on
- 0:59Speaker 4: especially on offense, They got so many weapons. I mean,
- 1:03Speaker 4: Aj Brown seems pretty pretty scary in his own right.
- 1:07Speaker 4: Just how much success he's had in the last six games.
- 1:11Speaker 4: I mean, the NFL record one hundred and twenty five games, sorry,
- 1:14Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty five yards six straight games. That's
- 1:17Speaker 4: that's amazing. Other than being on someone's fantasy team. But
- 1:23Speaker 4: other than that, yeah, it's not fun from your Cowboy fan.
- 1:26Speaker 4: All right, let's before we get going here. Eight eight
- 1:30Speaker 4: eight eight five five two two ninety seven. That's the
- 1:32Speaker 4: phone lines of call. I do want to say this.
- 1:36Speaker 4: I know this is Cowboys storyline, but of course can't
- 1:39Speaker 4: really go too far into the show without talking about
- 1:42Speaker 4: how awesome it is here in the DFW area to
- 1:47Speaker 4: have the Texas Rangers win the World Series. I've never
- 1:51Speaker 4: said that before I get to say it right now.
- 1:54Speaker 4: It's really a special thing, especially for me personally as
- 1:57Speaker 4: a fan. And I know you guys can relate whether
- 1:59Speaker 4: you're you know, a fan of whoever else other than
- 2:02Speaker 4: the Cowboys. You know what it's like to be a fan.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Some of you don't know what it's like to win
- 2:07Speaker 4: a championship, you know, for your team, and I understand that,
- 2:10Speaker 4: but you know, it was really cool. I'm just from
- 2:14Speaker 4: a personal note. I've moved here to Dallas nineteen eighty nine.
- 2:18Speaker 4: I was thirteen years old, and I didn't know anything
- 2:20Speaker 4: about the Texas Rangers. That really wasn't our team, but
- 2:22Speaker 4: I collected baseball cards and so we started going to games,
- 2:26Speaker 4: and you know, I remember being there for Nolan Ryans
- 2:29Speaker 4: five thousand strikeout, trying to figure out when he was
- 2:32Speaker 4: going to break the record or get five thousand strikeouts.
- 2:36Speaker 4: I've seen that. I've seen some World Series games and
- 2:39Speaker 4: so been out there when it's one hundred and twenty
- 2:41Speaker 4: degrees and before the new stadium and super hot. I've
- 2:45Speaker 4: seen some great moments, and so that last night was
- 2:48Speaker 4: really cool, cool experience, and really cool for this area,
- 2:51Speaker 4: the city of Arlington, things like that. So let's leave
- 2:54Speaker 4: it at that. We don't need to take it to
- 2:56Speaker 4: anything else about who's winning championships and who's not a
- 3:00Speaker 4: really big day for the this this DFW sports area,
- 3:03Speaker 4: especially if you're a fan of the Rangers. So exciting
- 3:07Speaker 4: times for them. I thought I positioned my hat perfectly
- 3:11Speaker 4: in the screen, and I did, But then again we
- 3:14Speaker 4: got the call number. We got to have that in
- 3:17Speaker 4: there too, eight eight eight eight five five two two
- 3:19Speaker 4: nine seven. But when that's not on the screen, got
- 3:21Speaker 4: my little Rangers hat there, it is kind of sideways.
- 3:24Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the calls. Let's get going here.
- 3:27Speaker 4: Mitch in North Dakota, your first Mitch, what's.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Up, hey, Nick? How are you today?
- 3:32Speaker 4: I'm we're doing well.
- 3:34Speaker 6: Thank you awesome, glad for your team there. It's awesome
- 3:37Speaker 6: for the city of Thank you, Challis area. It's good
- 3:39Speaker 6: for the Rangers there. Yeah, definitely appreciate that quickly before
- 3:42Speaker 6: we get into the Eagles. I'm going to actually probably
- 3:45Speaker 6: let the others kind of bring this up. I want
- 3:47Speaker 6: to go back a little bit. I was hooping maybe
- 3:49Speaker 6: you talk about JaMarcus Ware just a little bit. He's
- 3:51Speaker 6: kind of as far as immortality in the NFL goes,
- 3:55Speaker 6: he's kind of hit that. He's got a Super Bowl ring,
- 3:57Speaker 6: he's in the Hall of Fame, and he got his
- 3:59Speaker 6: Ring of Honor last week. I just wonder if you
- 4:01Speaker 6: could spend a minute talking about your experiences with where
- 4:04Speaker 6: as a player, as a as a guy to interview
- 4:07Speaker 6: and kind of what he meant for those teams I think.
- 4:09Speaker 6: I mean, if I'm ranking some of my all time favorites,
- 4:11Speaker 6: he's right up there with the very best of the
- 4:13Speaker 6: best from what he was as a professional and so on.
- 4:17Speaker 6: A couple of my favorite memories. I mean, I'll never
- 4:20Speaker 6: forget the sack almost pick six he had against Michael Vick,
- 4:23Speaker 6: just snake thing and ran it back and then ending
- 4:27Speaker 6: the Saints perfect run when they had that going. He
- 4:30Speaker 6: had some huge sacks at the end of that game,
- 4:32Speaker 6: and he was playing with an injured neck and didn't
- 4:34Speaker 6: even know if he was going to play, I believe.
- 4:37Speaker 6: But he's just an all time er. So if you
- 4:39Speaker 6: could just maybe mention a few things about DeMarcus wearing
- 4:43Speaker 6: all listen, thank.
- 4:43Speaker 4: You, all right, that's a yeah, that's a that's a
- 4:46Speaker 4: good good way to start us off at. You know,
- 4:48Speaker 4: DeMarcus where has been in the the in the news
- 4:52Speaker 4: a lot that this year, just because a lot of
- 4:54Speaker 4: things have happened with him. Typically you go in I say, tip,
- 5:00Speaker 4: I mean, I think most of the time you go
- 5:01Speaker 4: in the Ring of Honor before you go into the
- 5:03Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. So that was a little bit different
- 5:05Speaker 4: for him not to go in first to the Ring
- 5:08Speaker 4: of Honor, but goes into the Hall of Fame. This
- 5:11Speaker 4: was his second year eligible for that goes Hall of
- 5:14Speaker 4: Fame and Ring of Honor. But you know, you mentioned
- 5:18Speaker 4: two of the of the biggest moments that I can
- 5:21Speaker 4: think of with d where you know, just the interception
- 5:24Speaker 4: against the Falcons with Michael Victim, he just plucked the
- 5:29Speaker 4: ball in the air and then and then out ran
- 5:31Speaker 4: Michael Vick to the end zone. You know that. And
- 5:33Speaker 4: then of course the Saints game, that was just unbelievable
- 5:37Speaker 4: for the fact that at one minute, you don't know
- 5:40Speaker 4: if he's going to play again. I mean, he's he's
- 5:42Speaker 4: he can't move, he's on the ground against the Chargers.
- 5:45Speaker 4: And then six days later, it was a short week,
- 5:47Speaker 4: six days later he's playing, not only playing against the Saints,
- 5:51Speaker 4: but has two sacks in the game, one to close
- 5:54Speaker 4: the game out. We got through a documentary on the
- 5:58Speaker 4: two thousand and five draft class. It was one of
- 6:00Speaker 4: our deep Blues called Class of two thousand and five,
- 6:03Speaker 4: and that game is highlighted in there, and and Marcus
- 6:07Speaker 4: Spears telling a lot of it, and DeMarcus as well
- 6:10Speaker 4: as well. So that was pretty good. I mean, you know,
- 6:13Speaker 4: other moments with him. I just remember, I know I've
- 6:17Speaker 4: said this before, but I just remember being a training
- 6:20Speaker 4: camp his rookie year and there was a drill. It
- 6:23Speaker 4: was like a like the biggest hula hoop you've ever seen.
- 6:26Speaker 4: This is big ring on the ground and these players
- 6:29Speaker 4: are supposed to run around it and stay low. It's
- 6:32Speaker 4: kind of like simulating what you would do if you
- 6:34Speaker 4: were rushing the edge and you had to get low
- 6:36Speaker 4: underneath the tackle, and most guys you don't do it.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Anthony Spencer's nine. Spencer wasn't here. Sorry, I'm just trying
- 6:43Speaker 4: to think of the other guys, Greg Alils Baby that
- 6:45Speaker 4: were getting around and and then you know, but you're
- 6:49Speaker 4: going a little slow and DeMarcus just sprints around the
- 6:51Speaker 4: thing and you're and you're just thinking, Okay, that's that's
- 6:54Speaker 4: a freak. I mean, like you're not supposed to be
- 6:56Speaker 4: that big and be able to do that. But but yeah,
- 6:59Speaker 4: I mean it was. He was a special player and
- 7:01Speaker 4: and good for him to get all these awards and
- 7:04Speaker 4: accolades this year. And yeah, he's he's done it all.
- 7:07Speaker 4: I mean, he's the all time leader in sacks, he's
- 7:10Speaker 4: won a Super Bowl ring with another team. You know,
- 7:13Speaker 4: he's he's a Hall of Famer, Ring of honor, honor.
- 7:15Speaker 4: I think the Broncos, you know, Broncos try to steal them.
- 7:19Speaker 4: You know, they try to put him in their Ring
- 7:20Speaker 4: of Honor and stuff like that too, but whatever, good
- 7:22Speaker 4: for them, all right, Brian in Kansas City, you're next.
- 7:26Speaker 3: Good morning, mister Eaton, Good morning.
- 7:28Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 7:28Speaker 3: Brian I'm doing pretty good, man, I'm doing pretty good. Hey,
- 7:32Speaker 3: you know, I was listening to I didn't get to
- 7:34Speaker 3: watch live yesterday, but I listened to your show afterwards,
- 7:39Speaker 3: and you know, I do kind of understand the frustration
- 7:43Speaker 3: of fans in just watching so many of the other
- 7:48Speaker 3: contenders make moves and the Cowboys not making them, you know,
- 7:52Speaker 3: and yesterday yesterday.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it has to be pointed out they
- 7:57Speaker 4: did not make their move yesterday. They've made moves, they
- 8:01Speaker 4: just didn't want them yesterday. And he wanted them to
- 8:03Speaker 4: make more. But you can't make four trades because you
- 8:05Speaker 4: don't have that many draft picks.
- 8:07Speaker 3: You don't have any draft picks left. The one that
- 8:09Speaker 3: I was really kind of in broad Us brought this
- 8:12Speaker 3: up on the break yesterday, the one that I would
- 8:15Speaker 3: have loved to have seen would have been Ezra Cleveland,
- 8:18Speaker 3: who went from Minnesota to Jacksonville, who's a six and
- 8:22Speaker 3: two contender team and needed offensive line help, as do
- 8:27Speaker 3: the Cowboys, and boy, I would have really loved to
- 8:30Speaker 3: see that. But you know, like you say, we don't
- 8:34Speaker 3: have I know, I know Beamer already told us this
- 8:37Speaker 3: last week, but we don't have what we don't have
- 8:40Speaker 3: a four or five or a sixth this year, right, right,
- 8:45Speaker 3: you're down to that's what they that's what they gave up.
- 8:47Speaker 3: They gave up a six because it's a contract year.
- 8:49Speaker 3: He is according to broadest he's a starting quality offensive lineman.
- 8:53Speaker 3: They gave up a six because he's been a contract year.
- 8:55Speaker 7: You got to re sign him, right.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Basically, he's a mercenary for the rest of the year
- 8:59Speaker 3: unless you resign them. But you know, we didn't. We
- 9:02Speaker 3: just don't have We don't have the picks left unless
- 9:04Speaker 3: you're going to give up one of the big ones.
- 9:05Speaker 3: You know, are you going to be and we don't
- 9:07Speaker 3: need Chase Young But but you know, are you going
- 9:10Speaker 3: to give up a second or a third to go
- 9:12Speaker 3: get a big name like that?
- 9:14Speaker 7: Right? Uh?
- 9:15Speaker 3: You know, we just didn't. We just didn't have the
- 9:18Speaker 3: sat left. I was a little surprised, and having heard
- 9:22Speaker 3: you say it, I was a little surprised the cowboys
- 9:26Speaker 3: maybe didn't try to get a pick or two back
- 9:30Speaker 3: with somebody where they had depth. So anyway, that was
- 9:33Speaker 3: just you know, I was listening to the show and
- 9:35Speaker 3: thought about that was my frustration, and and you know,
- 9:38Speaker 3: we did what we did, didn't We did those moves
- 9:42Speaker 3: in the off season, which is what I think you're
- 9:44Speaker 3: pointing out.
- 9:45Speaker 7: You know, we got Cooks, we got Gilmore.
- 9:47Speaker 3: They've done well, you know, to the extent that we've
- 9:50Speaker 3: used Cooks, and you know, we we we got the
- 9:53Speaker 3: people we got and we we can only hope now
- 9:56Speaker 3: that the offense have been my opinion, the offensive, we're
- 9:58Speaker 3: going to go as far as the offense the line
- 10:00Speaker 3: takes us right. So anyway, that was it for me today. Brother, Okay,
- 10:04Speaker 3: hang and listen to the rest of the show.
- 10:05Speaker 4: Thanks, Thanks Brian. You know, I mean, I think when
- 10:07Speaker 4: you look at it, there's there's there's like four types
- 10:10Speaker 4: of players you can get. You can get one that's
- 10:13Speaker 4: a free agent. You can just you know, somebody that's
- 10:15Speaker 4: on the street, which they kind of did a couple
- 10:17Speaker 4: of weeks ago with Rashaun Evans. You know that type
- 10:19Speaker 4: of guy. They didn't go get a Leonard Fournette. I
- 10:22Speaker 4: think Buffalo signed him. You can get that kind of
- 10:25Speaker 4: guy that's that's they don't have to give up anything.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Or you can get the you know, mid level guy
- 10:29Speaker 4: that that that's you know, you'd lose like a fourth,
- 10:31Speaker 4: fifth or six four something like that, which they really
- 10:35Speaker 4: couldn't do because they didn't have that pick, because they've
- 10:38Speaker 4: already done that with getting you know, Trey Lance and
- 10:40Speaker 4: and of course Cooks and Gilmore last year. So that's
- 10:43Speaker 4: your fourth, fifth, and six or you can get your
- 10:45Speaker 4: second and third you know round guy, that's that's gonna
- 10:48Speaker 4: cost you a lot more contract wise, and then of
- 10:50Speaker 4: course you could give up a first for someone. I
- 10:52Speaker 4: just don't think they wanted to go those those routes,
- 10:55Speaker 4: and the four, fifth and sixth option really was something
- 10:57Speaker 4: they've already done. So all right, we talked about that, yes, sdiright,
- 11:00Speaker 4: and we'll talk about more if you guys have that.
- 11:02Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it goes down to it's just
- 11:06Speaker 4: really difficult to get upset about situations that you just
- 11:10Speaker 4: don't know about. You just don't know what they were
- 11:13Speaker 4: asking for. And just because this team got it doesn't
- 11:19Speaker 4: mean you're gonna get it. You know, doesn't mean that
- 11:22Speaker 4: Washington will trade it to you because they traded to
- 11:25Speaker 4: somebody out of their division. That you don't always get
- 11:28Speaker 4: the same deal. And you have to remember that too
- 11:31Speaker 4: with other teams, you know, where they're picking that the
- 11:34Speaker 4: Cowboys offer a second round pick and another team offers
- 11:38Speaker 4: a second round pick, Well, they may be picking in
- 11:41Speaker 4: the high thirties or forties when you're probably going to
- 11:43Speaker 4: be in the sixties. Total different player there. So it's
- 11:48Speaker 4: hard to compare. And it's hard to know exactly what
- 11:51Speaker 4: the Cowboys were trying. I know they were trying to
- 11:52Speaker 4: do some things. I know that Stephen Jones was waiting
- 11:55Speaker 4: on some calls back and trying to get something. But
- 11:59Speaker 4: it didn't work, you know, and just never materialized. All right,
- 12:02Speaker 4: let's go to Anthony in Miami. Anthony's our next caller.
- 12:06Speaker 4: What's up?
- 12:07Speaker 2: Hey, what's up?
- 12:08Speaker 4: Nick?
- 12:09Speaker 2: I'm doing good man. I enjoyed talking to you Friday
- 12:12Speaker 2: on our show Hanging with the Boys. Oh yeah, I
- 12:15Speaker 2: tell you, yeah, that was me the when you said
- 12:17Speaker 2: you love to.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Watch the game with Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 12:20Speaker 7: You do.
- 12:20Speaker 4: Seem like you be a lot of fun. You're in
- 12:22Speaker 4: a different you're in a different mood then though you
- 12:25Speaker 4: were more jacked up. I guess this is morning Anthony here.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of you know, day off, you know,
- 12:31Speaker 2: work some long hours. I can't really get with the guy,
- 12:34Speaker 2: so you know, it's just calling in. I heard one guy,
- 12:37Speaker 2: or I heard two. Actually I heard one yesterday kind
- 12:40Speaker 2: of talk about fandom, and as you were talking about
- 12:42Speaker 2: free agency and everybody, you know, jumping off a cliff,
- 12:45Speaker 2: you know, because Cowboys don't do something. Let me say
- 12:48Speaker 2: something to you. Got a lot of listeners. Someone say
- 12:50Speaker 2: this to Cowboy fans fifty days. I've been a Cowboy
- 12:53Speaker 2: fan all my life. When a doctor slapped me on
- 12:55Speaker 2: my butt, I said, how about them boys?
- 12:58Speaker 5: You know?
- 12:58Speaker 2: So I went through eighty nine. That's bad Cowboys stuff,
- 13:03Speaker 2: you know, And I was still talking trash with one win,
- 13:06Speaker 2: I was talking trash, you know. So what I'm trying
- 13:08Speaker 2: to say is I understand people they say we don't win,
- 13:11Speaker 2: we got a bad team. I don't get it. You
- 13:14Speaker 2: got a quarterback that's you're bashed every day. I'm talking
- 13:16Speaker 2: about some of these delusional fans with the delusional haters.
- 13:20Speaker 2: So they're feeding off the delusional Cowboys haters, and they're
- 13:23Speaker 2: buying into what they're saying. You got a rookie guy
- 13:26Speaker 2: that's the forefront pick that wins thirteen games, right, you know,
- 13:31Speaker 2: with another running back, and they spark this thing with
- 13:34Speaker 2: the Cowboys and get them back to life, so to speak.
- 13:36Speaker 2: He just win twelve games back to back. You know,
- 13:40Speaker 2: you got life, your owner, your owner, your show, Your
- 13:43Speaker 2: Cowboys are number one, popularity works everything. That's good enough
- 13:47Speaker 2: for me. I don't need it. And I mean is
- 13:50Speaker 2: I don't need a championship. I don't need one. If
- 13:53Speaker 2: we get one, fine, it works for me because that's fandom.
- 13:58Speaker 2: I'm a fanatic. Championship or not, I'm a fanatic. You
- 14:02Speaker 2: got a good team. You didn't need to do anything
- 14:04Speaker 2: at the trade deadline, and we already did. You got
- 14:07Speaker 2: to bring the cooks, you got to give more.
- 14:09Speaker 7: You know, I love it.
- 14:10Speaker 4: I love Anthony. I'm gonna stop it there because I
- 14:12Speaker 4: need to ask you this. I want to ask you back.
- 14:15Speaker 4: So so you don't need a championship, because that is
- 14:20Speaker 4: you are in the minority that here of people that
- 14:23Speaker 4: that that that call on the show, and Cowboy fans
- 14:25Speaker 4: explain that a little bit more. Why you Is it
- 14:28Speaker 4: because you say you're fifty three? You see three? Right?
- 14:31Speaker 4: Or yes, maybe maybe four, but I mean maybe as
- 14:35Speaker 4: a young young kid, but but definitely three. Is that why?
- 14:39Speaker 4: Because there's some fans that really haven't experienced that. Do
- 14:42Speaker 4: you think that would change your mind?
- 14:44Speaker 7: Exactly? Now here we go.
- 14:46Speaker 2: You got the younger fan base. Right, So, but you
- 14:50Speaker 2: can't tell me you don't have the success you are.
- 14:52Speaker 2: You got the spoils now as a younger base. Now
- 14:55Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. You got the spoils because
- 14:57Speaker 2: you get to see your team on TV pretty much
- 14:59Speaker 2: every week, no TV, right, I'm saying, So you get
- 15:03Speaker 2: those things. Your team is talked about the most, they're
- 15:07Speaker 2: probably to hate it the most loved, So that alone
- 15:09Speaker 2: should be enough as a fan and a fanatic. A
- 15:12Speaker 2: championship is fine. But you're winning. People say we don't win.
- 15:16Speaker 2: I don't get that. We just won twelve games in
- 15:18Speaker 2: a row in the division championship two years ago. And
- 15:21Speaker 2: like I said, what Dak them did for the fans
- 15:23Speaker 2: that can remember with him as Zeke brought to the team.
- 15:25Speaker 2: So an NFC championship game is what I told them
- 15:28Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year. Just and Shannan and
- 15:30Speaker 2: the boys and make them. I told them, NFC championship game.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Just don't get embarrassed. They say, what were you? What's
- 15:36Speaker 2: your what's your what's your what's your ceiling? NFC championship game.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Don't get embarrassed. It's good enough for me. So all
- 15:42Speaker 2: the Cowboys gotta do Sunday against this, against this, Oh
- 15:45Speaker 2: my god, this this beast of a Team's just keep
- 15:48Speaker 2: the discipline, man, play discipline football, and you'll walk away
- 15:52Speaker 2: with a win. And guess what, fans they're still gonna
- 15:54Speaker 2: hit on your team come Monday, of course, thank you, Nick.
- 15:57Speaker 7: All Right, all right?
- 16:00Speaker 4: Different, that's a different perspective, and and and a healthy perspective,
- 16:06Speaker 4: just because you know you're not gonna get let down
- 16:10Speaker 4: as much, you know, when you don't have these high expectations.
- 16:13Speaker 4: But I know this, and I and Anthony knows this.
- 16:16Speaker 4: He doesn't speak for everyone that they want to win
- 16:19Speaker 4: a championship. And here I am talking just what ten
- 16:21Speaker 4: minutes ago about and it's not the same level. You know,
- 16:25Speaker 4: I've never been on Rangers storyline or you know, talking
- 16:28Speaker 4: Rangers if they have such a podcast. I'm not that
- 16:31Speaker 4: type of fan. I mean, I've been a big fan,
- 16:33Speaker 4: but but I've been there, and I've been a lot
- 16:35Speaker 4: of games, and I almost saw him winners, you know,
- 16:38Speaker 4: World Series, and it was gut wrenching when they didn't.
- 16:41Speaker 4: But now it makes it all the better because they
- 16:44Speaker 4: won last night. So my team was able to win
- 16:46Speaker 4: and and I'm a you know, somewhere between a casual
- 16:51Speaker 4: fan and a diehard. I mean somewhere in between that.
- 16:55Speaker 4: And it's really great to have my team win. So
- 16:57Speaker 4: you guys, everybody needs that, and I think there's a
- 17:00Speaker 4: lot of fans that are like, no, no, I want
- 17:01Speaker 4: us to win a champion bhiy. I mean that's what
- 17:03Speaker 4: all the calls were the other day. So I like
- 17:08Speaker 4: the perspective. Not everyone has that, but it's also healthy
- 17:11Speaker 4: and it keeps you probably from going insane on some
- 17:14Speaker 4: of these games. All right, let's go to I have
- 17:16Speaker 4: a text question actually from Doug in Florida. He says,
- 17:20Speaker 4: the way we played last week throwing the ball, so well,
- 17:23Speaker 4: do you think the old line is going to be
- 17:24Speaker 4: the key this week? Where we take advantage of Philly's
- 17:27Speaker 4: secondary running game has to help love the show your
- 17:31Speaker 4: patients the past few days with all the trade talk
- 17:33Speaker 4: was great patients me and patience has never always been
- 17:37Speaker 4: my thing. I mean I'm not I'm not very good
- 17:39Speaker 4: at that. Uh, but you know the understanding that that
- 17:42Speaker 4: you know, these you guys have a point too. You
- 17:44Speaker 4: guys have a point, and you guys want to see
- 17:47Speaker 4: some success. But let's talk about that. Uh do I
- 17:51Speaker 4: think the running running game has got you just got
- 17:53Speaker 4: to be balanced, and I'm I don't think you can
- 17:56Speaker 4: expect to just drop back and throw the ball as
- 17:58Speaker 4: much as they did.
- 18:00Speaker 7: You know me.
- 18:00Speaker 4: The Rams got after him for a little bit early.
- 18:03Speaker 4: They short some things up, but Philly does not stop
- 18:05Speaker 4: with that pass for us show, it's got to be balanced.
- 18:08Speaker 4: I think the Cowboys have to run the football, and
- 18:10Speaker 4: in a game like this, it needs to be a
- 18:12Speaker 4: little bit more than it was one sided. I think.
- 18:15Speaker 4: I think for the Cowboys to win, they're going to
- 18:17Speaker 4: have to figure out ways to to run the ball,
- 18:20Speaker 4: not just Dak scrambling. It has to be you know,
- 18:22Speaker 4: designed runs, run the ball, keep you know, and keep
- 18:25Speaker 4: the Eagles off the field too. All right, let's go
- 18:28Speaker 4: to Dylan in Northport, Florida on the line.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Dylan pay Mick, your your third Florida guy here in
- 18:35Speaker 1: a row, back to Backshe's killing it here, yeah, apparently.
- 18:37Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys are rolling here.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:40Speaker 1: That's far of the build off of what the last caller,
- 18:43Speaker 1: I think his name was Anthony said, I do need
- 18:45Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, I do need a championship. I'm thirty too,
- 18:47Speaker 1: I don't know what it's like, right.
- 18:49Speaker 4: Right, And I understand that, and and and so he's one.
- 18:55Speaker 4: He's been able to see three, so so it's it's
- 18:58Speaker 4: a little different. You know, I've I've seen three, but
- 19:01Speaker 4: not since I've been working here. So like, let's let's go.
- 19:04Speaker 4: I mean, I'm ready to see one too.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I mean we get to the NFC, the championship game
- 19:09Speaker 1: for the NFC, I probably cry. I mean, I don't
- 19:11Speaker 1: know what it's like, right, But I kind of have
- 19:14Speaker 1: a different point from what a lot of the other
- 19:15Speaker 1: pallers saying in regarding the trade deadline. I think the
- 19:17Speaker 1: Cowboys have built a super Bowl team. The way they've
- 19:19Speaker 1: done it is to the draft. And I texted last
- 19:21Speaker 1: week and you read it on screen, and I appreciate that. Right,
- 19:25Speaker 1: we need young players do the draft to all set
- 19:27Speaker 1: some of these big contracts. We got Dak sixty millions
- 19:30Speaker 1: next year. He's going to get paid unless they extend him,
- 19:32Speaker 1: which they probably will because that's crazy. We got CD
- 19:35Speaker 1: coming up, We got Micah is going to be an
- 19:37Speaker 1: other worldly contract. Now, the salary CAP's real. You could
- 19:40Speaker 1: trade away all of your picks for expensive veterans. You're
- 19:42Speaker 1: like you're burning the candle at bull Ends. It doesn't
- 19:44Speaker 1: make sense, and that how you end up in a
- 19:46Speaker 1: rebuild like we did with Romo for like three or
- 19:47Speaker 1: four years.
- 19:48Speaker 7: Now.
- 19:48Speaker 1: You look at the Roy Williams trade. How many young
- 19:51Speaker 1: players do we miss out on because of that Roy
- 19:53Speaker 1: Williams trade?
- 19:54Speaker 3: Was he worth it?
- 19:54Speaker 1: Probably not because they didn't win a Super Bowl and
- 19:56Speaker 1: he probably wasn't worth I think it was a one
- 19:57Speaker 1: three five That was pretty crazy. Yeah, I think the
- 20:01Speaker 1: one thing holding this team back to the offensive line.
- 20:03Speaker 1: We're not going to find a team willing to trade
- 20:05Speaker 1: an offensive lineman at any position better than what we have.
- 20:08Speaker 1: We don't have the capital. We're missing four or five
- 20:10Speaker 1: to six and when you look at the teams we're
- 20:12Speaker 1: compared to, like the Eagles and the Niners. Just look
- 20:14Speaker 1: at their quarterback catst Alone. Six million for Hurts this year,
- 20:18Speaker 1: thirteen million next year, twenty million twenty twenty five. They
- 20:21Speaker 1: backloted his contract and they'll probably extend him on towards
- 20:23Speaker 1: the end of it to less than that burden. At
- 20:26Speaker 1: the back end. You look at brock Perdy eight hundred
- 20:28Speaker 1: thousand this year, a million next year, and you look
- 20:31Speaker 1: at Dath twenty six million this year, sixty million next year.
- 20:34Speaker 5: So I just don't I.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Don't see the need to trade away everything. You're mortgaging
- 20:37Speaker 1: your future on a hope and a prayer that probably
- 20:39Speaker 1: isn't going to work out anyways, when you've already built
- 20:42Speaker 1: a super Bowl team and you've already maje your trade
- 20:44Speaker 1: before the season even started. So that's all I got.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Really good point, Thank you, Dylan, and you you have
- 20:49Speaker 4: it kind of figured out from the salary cap standpoint,
- 20:53Speaker 4: because you're right. I mean, they have paid the Eagles
- 20:57Speaker 4: have paid the big money to Jalen Hurts, but he's
- 21:01Speaker 4: not making that right now, Like he doesn't count whatever
- 21:05Speaker 4: fifty million year, not even close, you know. And so
- 21:09Speaker 4: most contracts are are kind of pushed that way, and
- 21:11Speaker 4: at some point you got to pay the piper, you know.
- 21:13Speaker 4: And that's what the Cowboys are dealing with right now
- 21:15Speaker 4: with with Dak. So it's not just immediately you just
- 21:20Speaker 4: all hit it all at once. I mean, the Eagles
- 21:21Speaker 4: are still benefiting from the fact that they have a
- 21:24Speaker 4: top tier quarterback and not paying him, not having to
- 21:28Speaker 4: pay him all of that, and uh, but but they will,
- 21:32Speaker 4: you know, it'll it'll catch up to them. But but
- 21:34Speaker 4: you know, give them credit. They're doing a really good
- 21:36Speaker 4: job of finding players and and you know, meshing them in.
- 21:39Speaker 4: I mean that they're they're a really good team, and
- 21:42Speaker 4: they are you know, they're they're well coached. Uh, the
- 21:45Speaker 4: organization has has done a great job of getting players
- 21:47Speaker 4: in here, just like the Cowboys have. I mean, like
- 21:50Speaker 4: like they're I don't I don't see the Eagles head
- 21:52Speaker 4: and shoulders above above Dallas even in the last couple
- 21:56Speaker 4: of years. I don't see that. I mean, last year
- 21:58Speaker 4: they were they were a little bit better, and they
- 22:02Speaker 4: were able to go you know, they had home field
- 22:04Speaker 4: and they were able to use that to their advantage.
- 22:06Speaker 4: They were they were better, you know. But I'll say this,
- 22:09Speaker 4: I mean, and I won't back down from anybody on this.
- 22:12Speaker 4: They lost a couple of games late in the year.
- 22:14Speaker 4: They did not have Jalen Hurts. They that was a big,
- 22:18Speaker 4: big difference for them, and they lost two games, one
- 22:21Speaker 4: of them the Dallas, one of them maybe to New
- 22:23Speaker 4: Orleans at home. If Jalen Hurts missed five games in
- 22:27Speaker 4: the middle of the season, I don't think that. I
- 22:29Speaker 4: don't think the Eagles are winning the NFC East. I mean,
- 22:31Speaker 4: I don't think I think the Cowboys handled that situation
- 22:35Speaker 4: without that way better than I think the Eagles would have.
- 22:38Speaker 4: So it's it's different. You lose your quarterback, it's not easy.
- 22:42Speaker 4: Give the Cowboys credit for that. We're going to get
- 22:45Speaker 4: to see them that. We're gonna get to see pretty
- 22:46Speaker 4: much full strength both these teams, so we'll get to
- 22:49Speaker 4: find out kind of where they are. I mean, I'm
- 22:51Speaker 4: not saying the Cowboys were better than the Eagles. The
- 22:55Speaker 4: Eagles were better, but I do think that it was
- 22:57Speaker 4: pretty close. And you know, we'll see what this year
- 22:59Speaker 4: looks like. All right, Dennis in Albany, New York. Dennis,
- 23:04Speaker 4: you're up.
- 23:06Speaker 5: Nick, what's up, buddy? This is Dennis from Albury. You
- 23:08Speaker 5: know who I am in the early days of the break.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Okay, all right, how you doing?
- 23:13Speaker 5: And I'm actually and I'm the one who told Sean
- 23:16Speaker 5: and Our Day to ask you about the Romo story,
- 23:18Speaker 5: So it should start connecting with dots.
- 23:20Speaker 4: Here, okay, all right? Yeah, and uh, only.
- 23:23Speaker 5: A few of us know that story.
- 23:25Speaker 7: Nick, which one?
- 23:26Speaker 4: Which one's.
- 23:29Speaker 5: Story?
- 23:29Speaker 4: When he flag football? Yeah? Yeah he played yeah, no, no,
- 23:34Speaker 4: he played on our flag football team. And uh and
- 23:37Speaker 4: Chris on the team. Well, what happened was, well, what
- 23:42Speaker 4: happened was is that he was really awesome. He came
- 23:44Speaker 4: in and he was an awesome defensive player and a quarterback.
- 23:48Speaker 4: He was awesome until the playoffs and he threw five
- 23:51Speaker 4: picks in the game and we lost the playoff game.
- 23:53Speaker 4: But whatever, I mean, who cares about that? Yeah, it
- 23:56Speaker 4: really did happen. I mean, you know, here's the thing.
- 23:59Speaker 4: And if you guys, anybody that plays flag football, you
- 24:02Speaker 4: gotta understand have you ever played against people that play actually,
- 24:05Speaker 4: you know, you playing against football players. They think they're
- 24:08Speaker 4: gonna go play flag football and they're just gonna dominate,
- 24:11Speaker 4: and it's a completely different game. And so Romo was
- 24:15Speaker 4: was great. He was an athlete, he was young. He
- 24:17Speaker 4: was throwing the ball around, but he also wasn't throwing
- 24:20Speaker 4: two star receivers either, and he he thought he could
- 24:23Speaker 4: throw it every time. And and you know, we we struggled.
- 24:27Speaker 4: We lost in the playoffs, and I knew, right, I thought,
- 24:29Speaker 4: right then, I was like, this guy's not very good,
- 24:32Speaker 4: like he why is he playing for the NFL? Like
- 24:35Speaker 4: he's only it was only one year in the league,
- 24:37Speaker 4: just mostly on practice squad. Or inactive. I was like,
- 24:41Speaker 4: he's never gonna be anything serious and then of course
- 24:44Speaker 4: becomes a face of the franchise. That was pretty neat.
- 24:47Speaker 4: But I'm telling you this, he he was an It
- 24:50Speaker 4: was like pros versus Joe's out there man. I mean,
- 24:52Speaker 4: even as a defensive player, he was better than all
- 24:55Speaker 4: of us. And him and Chris Bean were like our
- 24:56Speaker 4: two best players for sure.
- 24:58Speaker 5: So that's a great story.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Nick.
- 25:00Speaker 5: Before I asked the question, I want to thank you
- 25:03Speaker 5: and Derek for getting this whole internet thing started with
- 25:07Speaker 5: the Cowboys and the off season will go over. All
- 25:09Speaker 5: the people that was hired, I remember most of them,
- 25:13Speaker 5: and thanks for all you do.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Appreciate that.
- 25:16Speaker 5: The guy the guy answering, I'm old enough to have
- 25:19Speaker 5: cried for the Jackie Smith drop against the Steelers, the
- 25:23Speaker 5: Lynn Swan catches. So I did see four super Bowls,
- 25:27Speaker 5: and I gotta admit I gotta agree with the question
- 25:30Speaker 5: you asked them because I got floored. Is it a
- 25:32Speaker 5: little bit easier for me?
- 25:34Speaker 7: Absolutely?
- 25:35Speaker 5: But I do I do need another one. Hey, let's
- 25:38Speaker 5: face it.
- 25:39Speaker 2: I mean I ain't gonna lie.
- 25:40Speaker 4: Listen, listen just because we ate barbecue. That was really awesome.
- 25:43Speaker 4: Two weeks ago. Doesn't mean you want to do it again.
- 25:45Speaker 7: I mean like I want it again.
- 25:47Speaker 4: I mean we eat three times a day like let's
- 25:50Speaker 4: I mean, I understand it. I understand it, but it
- 25:53Speaker 4: almost makes it even more more hungry to try to
- 25:56Speaker 4: do it again.
- 25:57Speaker 5: So yeah, the feeling and the last thing I'll say, Nick,
- 26:00Speaker 5: is that during those Super Bowl years, and I'm not
- 26:03Speaker 5: saying we didn't make any moves, obviously, the Herschel Walker
- 26:07Speaker 5: trade is what it is. And then did we get
- 26:09Speaker 5: then we get d On for the last one to
- 26:12Speaker 5: win it all? We lost in ninety five and he
- 26:15Speaker 5: was you know, he passed it appearance. I'm Michael Ryb.
- 26:17Speaker 2: We all know that.
- 26:18Speaker 5: Yeah, and then he and then he brought it over.
- 26:20Speaker 5: So I agree, and I like this team a lot.
- 26:24Speaker 5: The only thing that I wish I want to see
- 26:27Speaker 5: a little bit more at running back, and I love
- 26:31Speaker 5: the kid from Florida is Florida A and M fourteen.
- 26:33Speaker 4: What's his name, Yeah, Marquis Bell, Martu's Bell.
- 26:36Speaker 5: I love him. So I'm a little worried about linebacker
- 26:40Speaker 5: and running back, but overall, a couple of breaks here
- 26:43Speaker 5: and there, this team is easily a Super Bowl team.
- 26:46Speaker 5: Thanks for all you do, Nick, you'll hear more from
- 26:49Speaker 5: me than I'm always listening.
- 26:50Speaker 4: All right, I appreciate it, Denni's really really good calling.
- 26:52Speaker 4: And and the thing is is that you guys aren't wrong.
- 26:55Speaker 4: I mean you've been there, you've seen it. But but
- 26:58Speaker 4: it's like that, It's like a great movie that you
- 27:00Speaker 4: see and you're like, you want to you want to
- 27:03Speaker 4: tell people about it, like I have you've seen this.
- 27:04Speaker 4: You got to see this, this guy see that he's
- 27:06Speaker 4: in the show. You know, it's like that, especially when
- 27:09Speaker 4: you have kids. You know, they don't they don't know
- 27:12Speaker 4: anything about about that kind of success. And and a
- 27:15Speaker 4: lot of young fans that that haven't seen it either.
- 27:18Speaker 4: And the players, the players too that you know, these
- 27:21Speaker 4: these guys, you know, I would have loved this scene,
- 27:23Speaker 4: Jason Witten, you know, win a super Bowl. You know,
- 27:26Speaker 4: I would love seeing DeMarcus where win it here. Now
- 27:28Speaker 4: I have to go where you know, ugly orange and
- 27:30Speaker 4: go win a Super Bowl. I'm talking about winning here,
- 27:33Speaker 4: and so you know, I mean that's that's what you want,
- 27:37Speaker 4: you know. So so yeah, we've seen it and it's
- 27:40Speaker 4: really cool. You know, I was in high school college
- 27:42Speaker 4: when they won, but you know, I want to see
- 27:45Speaker 4: I want to see it happen here, and I think
- 27:47Speaker 4: I think all you guys do too, So just just
- 27:50Speaker 4: different levels of fandom. Let's take a quick break. I
- 27:53Speaker 4: don't know, we got two calls on the line, but
- 27:54Speaker 4: let's take a quick break and we'll come right back here.

- 30:08Speaker 4: celebrating the Texas Rangers. This is not a World Series cap.
- 30:12Speaker 4: This is just an old, crusty cap that I've had
- 30:16Speaker 4: taken the games back in the day. Texas Rangers World
- 30:20Speaker 4: Series Champions. I love the call on the play by
- 30:25Speaker 4: play announcer Eric Nadell, who's been doing it forever, you know,
- 30:29Speaker 4: it gets so excited about it. I mean he said
- 30:32Speaker 4: after the game, I mean like during the call. You
- 30:34Speaker 4: know you only got one shot to make this call perfect.
- 30:37Speaker 4: And he said, you know, at Texas Rangers, you're not dreaming.
- 30:40Speaker 4: You're not dreaming. Your team is World champions. World Series Champions's.
- 30:44Speaker 4: It's awesome, and I know it's a cool feeling. It's
- 30:47Speaker 4: a cool feeling as a as a as a fan.
- 30:49Speaker 4: You know, I'm a big Ranger fan, as a big fan.
- 30:52Speaker 4: It was exciting, and I know it's something that you
- 30:56Speaker 4: guys are thurst and for as well. And that's what's cool,
- 30:59Speaker 4: you know. And I've been writing down the states that
- 31:02Speaker 4: you guys are from because of what's need is that,
- 31:05Speaker 4: like we're all we're all bonded together here. You know,
- 31:07Speaker 4: we're all cowboys. I mean, that's that's the link obviously.
- 31:10Speaker 4: But then but then, like I'm probably talking to somebody
- 31:13Speaker 4: that's like an like an absolute diehard. I think we
- 31:17Speaker 4: had a Golden Knights fan, you know, from from from
- 31:19Speaker 4: Vegas or or you know, huge New York Knicks fan
- 31:23Speaker 4: or what our college team. You know, that's what's kind
- 31:26Speaker 4: of cool. And I learned my lesson on that when
- 31:28Speaker 4: I used to like talk trash on Twitter about the Cowboys,
- 31:32Speaker 4: I mean about the Mavericks and Spurs. I realized that,
- 31:35Speaker 4: you know, a lot of Cowboy fans in San Antonio,
- 31:38Speaker 4: a lot of Spurs fans too. So yeah, we may
- 31:40Speaker 4: agree on this, but when it comes to Maverick Spurs.
- 31:44Speaker 4: You know, so I got myself in some some issues there.
- 31:46Speaker 4: That's why I was a little tame on the Cowboy
- 31:48Speaker 4: on the Rangers and Astros talk, because we do get
- 31:51Speaker 4: a lot of calls from from Houston and uh, you know.
- 31:54Speaker 4: But anyways, all right, let's go to the callers. Robin Vegas,
- 31:59Speaker 4: I think it was that was talking about Golden Knights.
- 32:02Speaker 12: Yes, yes, indeed, what's up?
- 32:03Speaker 7: Rob?
- 32:04Speaker 12: He nick a congratulations on the Rangers. I mean, I'm
- 32:08Speaker 12: a Yankee fan, but I got a lot of friends
- 32:10Speaker 12: that live in Texas and yeah, their rings are fans
- 32:13Speaker 12: so in the American League. So that was that was good?
- 32:16Speaker 7: Cool, all right?
- 32:17Speaker 12: You know listening to Anthony you know, I'm there, I'm
- 32:21Speaker 12: fifty six, and it was.
- 32:22Speaker 4: Like, you don't agree. I know you don't agree.
- 32:25Speaker 12: It's crazy, but I but see, that's part of the
- 32:29Speaker 12: problem with the Cowboys culture. I mean, Jerry Jones was
- 32:35Speaker 12: hungry when he bought the team, and I think he
- 32:39Speaker 12: got a little comfortable. I mean, let's look at someone,
- 32:43Speaker 12: just look at the coaching. How did Dave Campbell become
- 32:46Speaker 12: head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. I mean that was like,
- 32:50Speaker 12: let me just throw my friend in there and maybe
- 32:53Speaker 12: I could call some plays. And that's what I'm talking about. Losing.
- 32:58Speaker 12: And yes, I don't say like last year, twelve or five,
- 33:01Speaker 12: that's not a fail season. Back to back of those
- 33:03Speaker 12: are great seasons. But at the end of the day,
- 33:06Speaker 12: if Dan Marino, uh, it's Super Bowl a bus and
- 33:11Speaker 12: I look at Jerry and I just think Jerry got
- 33:14Speaker 12: comfortable because losing it didn't affect the bottom line. I mean,
- 33:17Speaker 12: what eleven billion dollars their worth about. I mean, so
- 33:21Speaker 12: I'm not saying he don't want to win. I just
- 33:23Speaker 12: thought he got a little comfortable. And if we, you know,
- 33:26Speaker 12: didn't have such early success, I think you'd be willing
- 33:29Speaker 12: to do more things.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Okay for it?
- 33:32Speaker 4: Hold up, hold up though, Okay, after Dave Campo, You're right,
- 33:36Speaker 4: that was and and that was a part where one
- 33:39Speaker 4: third of the salary cap was dead money. That that
- 33:42Speaker 4: that's absurd, that's absurd. One third. And during that time
- 33:46Speaker 4: then Campbell had had no shots. What happened after Campo?
- 33:50Speaker 4: Jerry wins right, right, A guy that that knew that
- 33:55Speaker 4: Jerry knew, was going to push him a little bit.
- 33:58Speaker 4: He couldn't just do I mean that's what That's what Jenny.
- 34:02Speaker 12: He did that. I think he did that because he
- 34:04Speaker 12: wanted the new stadium build. You cannot try to build
- 34:08Speaker 12: a stadium, a billion dollar stadium. Yeah, well was it
- 34:12Speaker 12: back to back five and eleven seasons? And Dave Campbell.
- 34:16Speaker 12: You know, as soon as you signed Bill Parcells, Let's
- 34:18Speaker 12: face it, the whole city and the cowboy world like,
- 34:22Speaker 12: oh my god, we got Bill Parsos because he's one
- 34:24Speaker 12: of the greatest coaches ever. So you forgot or automatically
- 34:27Speaker 12: you forgot about the five and eleven season that. I
- 34:32Speaker 12: love Bill Parcells. I wish you would have did a
- 34:34Speaker 12: couple of years younger, because who knows what could have happened.
- 34:37Speaker 12: But no, I definitely don't agree with Anthony. Now getting
- 34:41Speaker 12: to the the Eagles game, it's about time that the
- 34:45Speaker 12: Moone Clark makes some plays. You know, I keep hearing
- 34:50Speaker 12: about him, you know, lsu blah blah blah. He's been invisible.
- 34:54Speaker 12: I need this guy to make them, especially against the Eagles.
- 34:57Speaker 12: You know what they're going to do. They're going to
- 34:59Speaker 12: run the ball and they're gonna have hurts run. Well,
- 35:02Speaker 12: he's not gonna run as much, which I think could
- 35:04Speaker 12: help us. But I need our linebacker to actually stick
- 35:09Speaker 12: somebody in the hole, and I just need him to
- 35:11Speaker 12: make some plays. And the other guy that I think
- 35:13Speaker 12: is huge is Javon Curse against air tight end. He
- 35:17Speaker 12: loves to throw to Dallas Goddard's that's his safety blanket.
- 35:23Speaker 12: And if we could just hold those guys with not
- 35:26Speaker 12: getting crazy, I'll take my chances on the outside. He's
- 35:30Speaker 12: going to throw the ball up to Brown. But I
- 35:33Speaker 12: like my cornerbacks. I think we can make some plays.
- 35:36Speaker 12: But you cannot give him his safety blanket and got it,
- 35:39Speaker 12: And you can't let them control the clock like six seven,
- 35:43Speaker 12: eight minutes drives and it's time for the moont Clark
- 35:46Speaker 12: to show us what we've been hearing he's doing in
- 35:49Speaker 12: preseason and what have you? Time to make some plays?
- 35:53Speaker 4: All right, thanks, Rob, appreciate the call. Rob doesn't probably
- 36:00Speaker 4: look at or care about the stat sheet because de
- 36:03Speaker 4: Moone Clark leads the team in tackles, but but they're
- 36:07Speaker 4: not not significant plays. I mean, he's it's surprising him.
- 36:12Speaker 4: He does lead the team in tackles, but you haven't
- 36:15Speaker 4: seen him make a make a lot. Yeah, I want
- 36:19Speaker 4: to see him be a little bit more of a
- 36:20Speaker 4: difference maker. So I understand that. And and this is
- 36:24Speaker 4: a linebacker game. This is one where, like you know,
- 36:27Speaker 4: covering those tight ends, making sure those runs don't go
- 36:30Speaker 4: from two yards till eight nine yards, stopping Jalen hurts.
- 36:33Speaker 4: I mean, this is a big, big game for the linebacker.
- 36:36Speaker 4: So there's no doubt about that. All right, Big Al
- 36:39Speaker 4: in San Antonio is next, Big Al? What's up? How
- 36:43Speaker 4: you doing great? How about you?
- 36:45Speaker 13: Hey man? I need you to relate it in Hey,
- 36:50Speaker 13: I don't kid, I don't sell all five super Bowl
- 36:53Speaker 13: and I feel the same way from the first one.
- 36:57Speaker 13: I get excited and I'll keep excited. So hopefully we
- 37:02Speaker 13: get another one in. And I'm gonna tell you we
- 37:06Speaker 13: just got to I think that it's gonna do it.
- 37:10Speaker 13: I told you, I think two weeks ago I called
- 37:12Speaker 13: when you hit Nate on, I told you he's gonna
- 37:15Speaker 13: be okay. Yeah, And I think that's gonna do it.
- 37:20Speaker 13: He's gonna come around. He just got to relax when
- 37:23Speaker 13: he started playing something. I think he gets too hyped up.
- 37:27Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 37:27Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I don't know about that. I mean, I
- 37:31Speaker 4: like his demeanor. I mean, I really I don't know
- 37:33Speaker 4: about two hyped up. I think Dak is pretty good
- 37:37Speaker 4: when it comes to that, like like bouncing back, not
- 37:40Speaker 4: too high and not too low. That's one thing I
- 37:43Speaker 4: do like about him the most. But yeah, I mean,
- 37:47Speaker 4: you know, big al you know what I was writing
- 37:50Speaker 4: down right here, I heard we four times. You know,
- 37:54Speaker 4: you said we. I think we're gonna be all right,
- 37:56Speaker 4: we did this all that, and you're right, like, like
- 37:59Speaker 4: that's that's it, Like it's we. I've heard people say
- 38:03Speaker 4: that all the time, like when I say that about
- 38:04Speaker 4: my team, like we really did you play? No, I
- 38:08Speaker 4: didn't play. You're damn right, it's we, you know. Yeah,
- 38:11Speaker 4: I'm sitting here and you're calling the podcast and you know,
- 38:15Speaker 4: and trying to get this thing, you know, get this
- 38:18Speaker 4: cowboy team to go. So when they do have success, yes,
- 38:21Speaker 4: it's we, because when they lose, it's definitely we and we.
- 38:25Speaker 13: Feel it too. I get pissed off.
- 38:30Speaker 4: That's that's what a die hard is. That's when I
- 38:34Speaker 4: argue with people all the time. It's not about it's
- 38:36Speaker 4: not about the success, Okay, And I'll say it right here.
- 38:39Speaker 4: With my Texas Rangers, I mean yeah, I mean sometimes yeah,
- 38:43Speaker 4: I haven't. I can't say I'm a die hard. I
- 38:45Speaker 4: don't live and die with every single pitch, every game
- 38:47Speaker 4: and all that stuff. But it was really tough to
- 38:50Speaker 4: see them lose a championship eleven years ago, twelve years ago.
- 38:53Speaker 4: So so yeah, but but I mean with my team,
- 38:56Speaker 4: my college team, I die hard every Saturday, and I've
- 38:58Speaker 4: been dying a lot this year.
- 39:00Speaker 13: But yeah, so Rangers, I enjoyed it. I got one
- 39:07Speaker 13: for you for And I don't like calling their name,
- 39:14Speaker 13: but that limally level.
- 39:17Speaker 3: A J.
- 39:17Speaker 4: Brown.
- 39:18Speaker 13: I'll say, yeah, do you think he's gonna need him?
- 39:24Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean on certain plays, I mean, yeah, I
- 39:28Speaker 4: think you need some help. But that's what makes them
- 39:32Speaker 4: so tough is that, you know, you can't be sitting
- 39:34Speaker 4: here saying he needs help, he needs help, and you
- 39:37Speaker 4: need to spy hurts. I mean, like, what who's gonna
- 39:40Speaker 4: I mean, who's gonna stop the run? I mean, who's
- 39:42Speaker 4: gonna actually rush the passer? I mean, so the Eagles
- 39:46Speaker 4: are tough. They're tough because their tackles are good, their
- 39:50Speaker 4: center is great. So where is Mica gonna rush from that?
- 39:54Speaker 4: He can have a lot of success, you know, I mean,
- 39:57Speaker 4: Mica has never had a full sack against the Eagles.
- 39:59Speaker 4: He's a half sack in his first game. He's not
- 40:02Speaker 4: had success against the Eagles, and you know where he's
- 40:04Speaker 4: from and you know where he went to college. So
- 40:07Speaker 4: this is a big deal, you know, and so that
- 40:09Speaker 4: they've done a great job. That's why I think the
- 40:11Speaker 4: Eagles have had a lot of success on on the
- 40:13Speaker 4: Cowboys is because they've neutralized Michaeh Parsons. To me, that's
- 40:17Speaker 4: the biggest part of this game is how can Micah
- 40:20Speaker 4: Parsons eat That's that's what you know, that's what he
- 40:23Speaker 4: needs to step up, step up. But it's not easy.
- 40:27Speaker 4: I mean, like and Lane Johnson's you know, maybe a
- 40:30Speaker 4: potential Hall of Famer. He's over here. I mean, de
- 40:33Speaker 4: Law and dorn Armstrong aren't just whipping him.
- 40:36Speaker 7: I mean it is.
- 40:37Speaker 4: They're tough. I mean, there's no doubt about it. I mean,
- 40:39Speaker 4: they just don't have a lot of weaknesses. We've heard
- 40:41Speaker 4: about it.
- 40:41Speaker 7: A J.
- 40:42Speaker 4: Brown. They got a Heisman Trophy receiver on the other
- 40:44Speaker 4: side who's really good. They got to tied end. They
- 40:46Speaker 4: got the quarterback who's built like a linebacker. I mean,
- 40:48Speaker 4: it's it's swift. They added swift. I mean, but they
- 40:53Speaker 4: could be beat. I mean they can.
- 40:55Speaker 7: Washing Washington showed that, so the Jets.
- 41:00Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, when Hurtz throws it to the other team,
- 41:03Speaker 4: you know they can lose. And he's been throwing it
- 41:06Speaker 4: to the other team. All right, here you go, all right,
- 41:08Speaker 4: we got see you later.
- 41:09Speaker 2: Man.
- 41:10Speaker 4: All right, let's go too quickly to the next caller.
- 41:12Speaker 4: Sebastian and Savannah Georgia. Sebastian, what's up, Ben?
- 41:16Speaker 11: Good morning, Sa, Good morning. Do you know we got
- 41:18Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy here, so hopefully he can be like Chris
- 41:21Speaker 11: Beam and just keep everything.
- 41:22Speaker 7: On the rails.
- 41:24Speaker 11: I was disappointed, I'm not gonna lie to when I
- 41:26Speaker 11: saw the second round go for the New York Giants
- 41:29Speaker 11: defensive tackle. But who knows that they would have traded
- 41:31Speaker 11: with us like that? Right, But I will say this,
- 41:34Speaker 11: if Mike McCarthy and Dak are figuring out this defense,
- 41:38Speaker 11: that was pretty good. I really enjoyed that they had
- 41:41Speaker 11: me out here seeing like Fergie Fergy list's over here.
- 41:43Speaker 11: When I was seeing Ferguson going to the end zone
- 41:45Speaker 11: that first time, right, Dak did exactly what I wanted,
- 41:48Speaker 11: which is moving around to the receivers. Get your star
- 41:50Speaker 11: receiver involved. Now, The disappointed side of me is that
- 41:56Speaker 11: this is my fifteenth anniversary. I didn't grow up a
- 41:58Speaker 11: Cowboys fan or anything like that. I got it this
- 42:00Speaker 11: in two thousand and eight. I'd love to see us
- 42:02Speaker 11: do something, and this seems like the first season where
- 42:05Speaker 11: it's legitimately us, Philly and San Fran. Yeah, after we
- 42:09Speaker 11: came off of this bye week, and I see how
- 42:11Speaker 11: well we play after these buys, Let's try to steal
- 42:14Speaker 11: a first round by and then only have to do
- 42:17Speaker 11: two games or one game to get to the big
- 42:19Speaker 11: game that we've never played in in quite some time.
- 42:21Speaker 11: I want to see this team do their absolute best.
- 42:24Speaker 11: I don't care if it's front office, Will McClay, the coaches.
- 42:27Speaker 11: I want to see this team do their absolute best
- 42:29Speaker 11: to try to steal a first round by from Philadelphia
- 42:32Speaker 11: or whoever it is is going to be in the league.
- 42:34Speaker 11: If we can beat Philly on Sunday, we now have
- 42:36Speaker 11: fear in their mind that, oh snap, they can deal
- 42:39Speaker 11: with our actually full team. I really want to beat
- 42:42Speaker 11: Philly and I want to try to steal that first
- 42:44Speaker 11: round by.
- 42:44Speaker 4: This is huge. Thanks for the call, and I'll I
- 42:48Speaker 4: add to that a little bit. This is a really
- 42:50Speaker 4: really big game for doing what you just said, because
- 42:54Speaker 4: if you don't win this game, they go to eight
- 42:56Speaker 4: and one and you're five and three, right, and then
- 42:59Speaker 4: they have a B and let's you know, let's say
- 43:01Speaker 4: let's say that you beat the Giants the next week,
- 43:04Speaker 4: but they're you know, you'll be six and three, they'll
- 43:07Speaker 4: be eight and one, and and I've already beated beat
- 43:10Speaker 4: you beat it nice. But but I think that they
- 43:16Speaker 4: have a tough schedule too. I mean, so the Cowboys,
- 43:19Speaker 4: but the Eagles are I mean after this one and
- 43:21Speaker 4: they come back from a bye. I mean, it's I
- 43:24Speaker 4: know the forty nine ers are in there. I know,
- 43:26Speaker 4: I know the Chiefs are in there. Uh you know
- 43:28Speaker 4: they have Seattle as well. I feel like there's another
- 43:30Speaker 4: pretty tough team, so they you know that they've got
- 43:33Speaker 4: some tough one. So if the Cowboys can get this
- 43:35Speaker 4: game right here went on the road, it'll be huge
- 43:39Speaker 4: because the Cowboys schedules really isn't the same. They got Carolina,
- 43:42Speaker 4: then it got three home games, which includes Philly. So
- 43:44Speaker 4: this is big if you want to win the division.
- 43:47Speaker 4: This I'm not it's not a must win everything. You know,
- 43:50Speaker 4: everything can change. We've seen that but I do think
- 43:53Speaker 4: that it's gonna be really really important. It's gonna be
- 43:55Speaker 4: tough to catch the Eagles if you don't if you
- 43:58Speaker 4: don't get this one. All right, last call Kurt in Arkansas, Kurt,
- 44:02Speaker 4: what's up?
- 44:03Speaker 2: Yea?
- 44:04Speaker 7: And what's up are you?
- 44:06Speaker 2: Uh?
- 44:06Speaker 7: Yeah? I was around for four of them. Well, I
- 44:09Speaker 7: was alive during the first one when they whipped Miami,
- 44:12Speaker 7: but my dad was a drunk and he wouldn't let
- 44:15Speaker 7: me watch it. Okay, sorry, but uh and they they
- 44:21Speaker 7: they I think the fans just need to relax because
- 44:25Speaker 7: that's not afraid of the Egles.
- 44:28Speaker 5: No.
- 44:29Speaker 7: I think I think that that team's gonna our team's
- 44:32Speaker 7: gonna go in there and play their minds out. Yeah,
- 44:37Speaker 7: play out of their minds. And I think they're gonna
- 44:39Speaker 7: whip them.
- 44:40Speaker 4: Well, uh, we'll see.
- 44:43Speaker 7: I mean, because the Egles have the Egles have a
- 44:46Speaker 7: susceptible uh secondary, we can they can that can exploit
- 44:51Speaker 7: that secondary. So and he proved against the Rams game
- 44:57Speaker 7: that McCarthy has decided that he's gonna quit trying to
- 45:01Speaker 7: smash the wall with the running game. Yeah, and let
- 45:06Speaker 7: that play that game.
- 45:08Speaker 4: Well, we've seen it last two games. Dak has certainly
- 45:11Speaker 4: played like we kind of wanted him to play, played
- 45:13Speaker 4: like a football tier play instinctive. Yep, exactly, So we
- 45:18Speaker 4: will see it'll be it'll be.
- 45:20Speaker 7: Oh and I was really mad that Dione committed past
- 45:24Speaker 7: interference against Michael Irwin in that uh in ninety four
- 45:29Speaker 7: playoff game. That made me mad. Yeah, because we should
- 45:34Speaker 7: have had four in a row. Yeah.
- 45:38Speaker 4: Now they had work to do. They were still down ten,
- 45:40Speaker 4: and that probably would have cut it to three. It's
- 45:43Speaker 4: one of my sports moments that I'd like to see.
- 45:46Speaker 4: I'd like to turn back the clock and see that
- 45:47Speaker 4: play because, without a doubt was holding him. I would
- 45:51Speaker 4: love to see it.
- 45:52Speaker 7: Yeah, that was past interference and uh, if Michael had
- 45:57Speaker 7: caught them all, it would have probably changed the whole.
- 46:00Speaker 4: Probably, Yeah, I agree, and change changed a lot of
- 46:04Speaker 4: things about that at that season.
- 46:06Speaker 7: I mean would they would they could have made history
