- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:03Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:05Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 3: This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
- 0:19Speaker 1: What is up? It's time for a Cowboys storyline. And
- 0:24Speaker 1: you know, when we created this show, and when I
- 0:26Speaker 1: first envisioned what this show would look like, I always
- 0:30Speaker 1: thought about a Monday morning after a game, win or loss.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I thought, this is what it's gonna this is what's
- 0:36Speaker 1: gonna be really fun, letting the fans open up to
- 0:39Speaker 1: see what they think on the first game of the season,
- 0:43Speaker 1: or really any game. And man, it couldn't have been
- 0:45Speaker 1: better than that one. Wow, forty to nothing. I'm not lying, guys.
- 0:49Speaker 1: We we get these stat sheets, you know, in the
- 0:52Speaker 1: in the locker room after the game, and that's what
- 0:54Speaker 1: I use on the plane when I'm working and writing
- 0:56Speaker 1: on the bus and the plane and all that. And
- 0:58Speaker 1: I look at it for everything tackle and stats and
- 1:01Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Twice on the plane after
- 1:04Speaker 1: the game. I'm kind of trying to doze off whatever,
- 1:07Speaker 1: watch a movie. I looked at this thing twice just
- 1:11Speaker 1: to make sure does it really say forty to nothing?
- 1:14Speaker 1: Forty to nothing? I mean that you don't have a
- 1:16Speaker 1: game like that. You expect to blowout or expect a
- 1:19Speaker 1: good game, maybe a win, not a blowout, not forty
- 1:22Speaker 1: to nothing. That's demoralizing. But it was such an unbelievable
- 1:27Speaker 1: win for the Cowboys, and I got the things out
- 1:29Speaker 1: that I can say about it. But I know you
- 1:31Speaker 1: do too, So we're not even gonna waste a lot
- 1:33Speaker 1: of time there. The things that my points will be
- 1:35Speaker 1: made here in the next thirty to forty five minutes,
- 1:38Speaker 1: depending on how long we go. I don't want to
- 1:40Speaker 1: waste that much more time getting to the line. So
- 1:43Speaker 1: we know we have some callers right now. I'm gonna
- 1:46Speaker 1: start it off with Anthony and Seattle. You're the first
- 1:49Speaker 1: caller here to talk about the Cowboys game. What's up?
- 1:53Speaker 4: Hey man, Nick?
- 1:54Speaker 5: I'm not gonna take anything away from my voice delivering
- 1:57Speaker 5: that beat down. Some people on the internet are just
- 2:00Speaker 5: talking about as well. Are the Giants as good as
- 2:03Speaker 5: they are? No, you know, it was raining, Who gives
- 2:08Speaker 5: the crap.
- 2:09Speaker 6: They're a professional team. They suit up just like the
- 2:11Speaker 6: Boys did. And the Boys came out there and they
- 2:14Speaker 6: were prepared. It was interesting because I was waiting for
- 2:19Speaker 6: the shooter drop right because they're a professional football team.
- 2:22Speaker 6: I was waiting for the shooter drop. It never drops.
- 2:25Speaker 6: Go Cowboys. That's all I want to right, keep up
- 2:28Speaker 6: with the great show.
- 2:29Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Anthony. I mean, I just don't
- 2:31Speaker 1: know what you can really say. I mean, what what
- 2:34Speaker 1: what could you say about any of this that there's
- 2:36Speaker 1: no excuses, there's no excuse for forty to nothing. I mean,
- 2:39Speaker 1: rain not prepared. Okay, Yeah, the Giants aren't as good.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not. Maybe they are not as good, because
- 2:47Speaker 1: that's that happens in the NFL. You know, you get
- 2:49Speaker 1: a team that that that rises up quickly and then
- 2:51Speaker 1: they surprised everyone, and then do they take that next
- 2:54Speaker 1: level or do they go back and maybe who that's
- 2:56Speaker 1: one game? Who knows? I know this the forty nine
- 2:59Speaker 1: ers low I think in nineteen ninety four they were
- 3:01Speaker 1: a really really good team won Super Bowl. That's the
- 3:04Speaker 1: year Dion was there. I think they lost forty to
- 3:06Speaker 1: eight to the Eagles at home, and she came back
- 3:10Speaker 1: one Super Bowl. So I'm not saying that the Giants
- 3:12Speaker 1: are going to do that. I'm just thinking, you know,
- 3:14Speaker 1: it is one game, but it was just an unbelievable
- 3:18Speaker 1: beat down by the Cowboys on all all phases, and
- 3:24Speaker 1: the defense was so good and the special teams made
- 3:28Speaker 1: us score a touchdown that it's almost easy to nitpick
- 3:31Speaker 1: the offense and go man. Offense could have played better,
- 3:33Speaker 1: and they could have that they could have played better.
- 3:35Speaker 1: That's what's kind of scary about this whole thing is
- 3:36Speaker 1: it really wasn't a perfect game. Forty to nothing looks perfect,
- 3:39Speaker 1: but it wasn't a perfect game. All right, let's go
- 3:41Speaker 1: back to the phones. We got Joe and Stanford. Joe,
- 3:45Speaker 1: what's up man.
- 3:46Speaker 7: Good morning, Happy Monday, brother, getting his sleeve?
- 3:49Speaker 1: No, not really, no, I would say maybe maybe two hours.
- 3:54Speaker 1: But that's okay, that's okay, because this is an easy
- 3:57Speaker 1: show to get up for.
- 3:59Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I bet it's a lot easier to get
- 4:01Speaker 7: up when it's forty to enough in this way instead
- 4:03Speaker 7: of something the other way. Right, right, So, I've been
- 4:07Speaker 7: a Cowboys fan, you know, all my life basically, and
- 4:10Speaker 7: I remember watching games since about nineteen eighty three. I
- 4:14Speaker 7: remember games. I'm certain that I have never seen a
- 4:19Speaker 7: Cowboys defense look like this. I am one hundred certain.
- 4:24Speaker 7: So many players making so many plays you can't even
- 4:29Speaker 7: keep track of them all. If I would have set
- 4:31Speaker 7: the only way to keep track of how many guys
- 4:34Speaker 7: made plays last night, I would have had to sit
- 4:36Speaker 7: there and write them on every single play. It was amazing.
- 4:40Speaker 7: I'm so excited about this defense. I think the offense
- 4:44Speaker 7: is gonna get better as we go. There was some
- 4:46Speaker 7: things we could bitch about, but I'm not gonna.
- 4:49Speaker 8: Man.
- 4:50Speaker 7: I just want to say how excited I am to
- 4:52Speaker 7: be a Cowboys fan this year.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Man, I am too, I am too, And it's you know,
- 4:57Speaker 1: you're so right and everything. I do want to point
- 5:00Speaker 1: one thing out, Joe, thanks for the call. I want
- 5:02Speaker 1: to point out one thing because I really believe in
- 5:07Speaker 1: everything kind of levels out, you know, and it's all
- 5:10Speaker 1: kind of even, and you have to be guarded. If
- 5:13Speaker 1: you want to be guarded by something, just remember this.
- 5:17Speaker 1: There's no way that you can probably feel better about
- 5:19Speaker 1: the Cowboys than you do right now, which is you know,
- 5:24Speaker 1: that's the way it should be. I mean, justified. Last year,
- 5:27Speaker 1: after Week one, there's no way you could feel worse
- 5:30Speaker 1: about the team. They lost nineteen to three to the Bucks.
- 5:33Speaker 1: The quarterback got hurt, he broke his thumb, and he
- 5:36Speaker 1: wasn't playing well to begin with. I think they had
- 5:38Speaker 1: two or three other injuries there curse maybe and McGovern.
- 5:41Speaker 1: I mean, they had some injuries. They look terrible against
- 5:44Speaker 1: the Bucks. So you're thinking this is going to be
- 5:47Speaker 1: a long, long year, and it wasn't. It was a
- 5:49Speaker 1: great season. They turned things around. All I'm saying is
- 5:52Speaker 1: it is one game and we've seen we felt one
- 5:57Speaker 1: way and it turned out to be another. I'm not
- 5:59Speaker 1: saying that this is not gonna be a great team,
- 6:00Speaker 1: because I really think it does that. I mean, you
- 6:02Speaker 1: don't play defense the way they played last night and
- 6:04Speaker 1: not be a great defense because it travels. Defense travels.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, I mean that stuff travels. They're gonna be great,
- 6:11Speaker 1: but it is. It is something just to keep an
- 6:14Speaker 1: eye on. But Joe, you're right on defense, we were
- 6:17Speaker 1: trying to figure out player of the game. You know,
- 6:19Speaker 1: we put that on social media and we were trying
- 6:21Speaker 1: to figure it out, and I mean who, I mean who.
- 6:24Speaker 1: It's gotta be somebody on defense in my opinion, and
- 6:26Speaker 1: then you know, you can pick Mike every every game,
- 6:29Speaker 1: and he really was the best player, but we went
- 6:31Speaker 1: with Trayvon Diggs because he had a couple of plays there.
- 6:34Speaker 1: You know, some some turnovers, pecially the big hit. I
- 6:37Speaker 1: thought that big hit against Sakuon Barkley was so so telling,
- 6:41Speaker 1: because that's what the storyline this whole offseason was, Trayvon Diggs. Oh,
- 6:45Speaker 1: he can't hit, he won't hit, didn't hit Kittle over
- 6:47Speaker 1: the middle and all this stuff. Well, he goes and
- 6:49Speaker 1: makes a big hit like that, pops the ball up.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Deron Bland with with the pick six. Outstanding game, and
- 6:55Speaker 1: the defense just just comes in waves that. That's what's
- 6:58Speaker 1: so scary about them. All right, we got another call
- 7:00Speaker 1: from New Jersey. This is Anthony from New Jersey. Man,
- 7:04Speaker 1: what is up with you?
- 7:05Speaker 6: Hey?
- 7:06Speaker 9: Nick?
- 7:06Speaker 4: How are you?
- 7:06Speaker 2: Man?
- 7:07Speaker 10: I'm a huge fan. I've been reading your columns and
- 7:09Speaker 10: listening to you for years. You're the best.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Thank you so much, man, I really appreciate that. What
- 7:13Speaker 1: do you got for me today?
- 7:15Speaker 10: I gotta tell you, man, I haven't enjoy a win
- 7:16Speaker 10: like that, and you know, in such a long time,
- 7:18Speaker 10: I mean, being in this area, I can't tell you
- 7:20Speaker 10: what I go through when the Giants happened to beat
- 7:22Speaker 10: the Cowboys. So to have a win like that was fantastic.
- 7:25Speaker 10: And you know I listened to you know, some of
- 7:27Speaker 10: the New York morning shows here in Boomera Sis and
- 7:29Speaker 10: hosts one. And he was talking about the nineties Cowboys
- 7:31Speaker 10: a few weeks ago, and what he said is what
- 7:34Speaker 10: made that team so difficult, as we all know, is
- 7:36Speaker 10: it'd be the fourth quarter, but they're playing like it's
- 7:38Speaker 10: the second quarter because they rotated so many great defensive linemen.
- 7:41Speaker 10: And that's what reminded me of last night. Between Parsons
- 7:43Speaker 10: and d Law and Sam Williams and Dante Fowler and
- 7:46Speaker 10: Dorance Armstrong. It just they just kept coming and fresh
- 7:49Speaker 10: guys kept coming, and you could tell the Giants just
- 7:51Speaker 10: had no answer. And I mean, look, I don't think
- 7:53Speaker 10: they have a great offensive line by any means. I mean,
- 7:55Speaker 10: Andrew Thomas is you know he can play, But I mean,
- 7:57Speaker 10: I'll tell you just watching the game, it was like
- 7:59Speaker 10: a flash. And I agree with you you can't overreact
- 8:01Speaker 10: to one game. But it was just it was incredible
- 8:03Speaker 10: to watch.
- 8:04Speaker 1: It sure was. And I appreciate the call. And you
- 8:07Speaker 1: bring up a great point there that that I've thought
- 8:09Speaker 1: about too, about the about the depth, and we've talked
- 8:12Speaker 1: about this all all, you know, training camp. You can't
- 8:15Speaker 1: tell me that that Dante Fawler is your fourth best
- 8:19Speaker 1: pass rusher. I mean, I mean, how many teams have
- 8:22Speaker 1: that as the number four guy? And so you only
- 8:25Speaker 1: play forty eight players, And so when you get into
- 8:27Speaker 1: a game like that, yeah, okay, put the backups in.
- 8:30Speaker 1: This is in high school. You don't put the JV in.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I mean you're putting in Sam Williams, who wants to
- 8:35Speaker 1: make a sack every single play. You're putting in Dante
- 8:38Speaker 1: Fowler or Dorrence Armstrong's rotating in. I mean, these these
- 8:42Speaker 1: guys safeties. I mean you're gonna play one ye a Thomas.
- 8:45Speaker 1: I mean he's over here head hunting the whole game.
- 8:47Speaker 1: The depth is just incredible and and I think we
- 8:50Speaker 1: saw it in training camp. We're seeing it in this
- 8:53Speaker 1: first game. It was really really impressive to see all right,
- 8:56Speaker 1: uh back to the line here in Grapevine, Texas him
- 9:00Speaker 1: in Grapevine. Tim, what's up?
- 9:02Speaker 4: Nick? Nick?
- 9:03Speaker 11: Happy victory Monday. They love the show, and I love
- 9:07Speaker 11: hearing from fans from coast to coast and other countries
- 9:10Speaker 11: given their first the thought, I think it's a it's
- 9:12Speaker 11: a great it's a great show. Thank you for thank
- 9:14Speaker 11: you putting us on for us.
- 9:15Speaker 1: This is your guys show. I'm gonna say it once
- 9:17Speaker 1: a show. It's y'all show. And I'm just here, just
- 9:20Speaker 1: driving the bus. And I'm okay being a bus driver
- 9:22Speaker 1: because today we're gonna go fast. We're gonna go fast.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be in the aho V lane. We're
- 9:26Speaker 1: gonna fly. What's up, Tim, What do you got for me?
- 9:28Speaker 6: Hey?
- 9:29Speaker 11: I love the party bus at.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Least be a party.
- 9:32Speaker 11: But well, a couple of things. Number one, first and foremost,
- 9:37Speaker 11: I want to give a shout out to mister Jerry
- 9:40Speaker 11: Jones for finding a way to retain Dan.
- 9:44Speaker 4: I mean, we need.
- 9:46Speaker 11: To send him a bouquet of raises from anonymous cowboys
- 9:50Speaker 11: fans across the world and say, Jerry, thank you.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Tim, I need it. Hold on, hold on, let me
- 9:55Speaker 1: tell you something. You're right, You're right. There is no
- 9:58Speaker 1: salary cap for coaching for the coaching staff. So Jerry
- 10:02Speaker 1: does what he does best, you know what I mean,
- 10:04Speaker 1: And uh yeah, he can make that happen. And I'm bitch,
- 10:06Speaker 1: you're you're exactly right. Though it all starts with Dan Quinn.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Keep going keeping.
- 10:11Speaker 11: I mean, it's just look, this is not a shot
- 10:14Speaker 11: at anyone, because I respect all coaches. It's a very
- 10:17Speaker 11: thankless and hard job most of the times. But compared
- 10:21Speaker 11: to Rod Marinelli with George Selby, Nick Hayden, Jeff Heath
- 10:24Speaker 11: and those are you know, hard working guys, you know,
- 10:26Speaker 11: tough players. I mean, you look at the player profile
- 10:29Speaker 11: we have now and it's just it's really unbelievable. I'm
- 10:33Speaker 11: never saything like it, and probably since the nineties.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Really yeah, you know you're I.
- 10:37Speaker 11: Just want to say that. And then my next my
- 10:39Speaker 11: actual question for you, is this, how can you keep
- 10:44Speaker 11: jan Ye Thomas on the field when Wilson returns? Because
- 10:48Speaker 11: I feel like this guy, he's got the link, he's
- 10:50Speaker 11: got the instincts. He just looks like a great young
- 10:52Speaker 11: player that's just now kind of scratching the surface and
- 10:56Speaker 11: I'll hang up.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got to play. He's got to play for me.
- 11:00Speaker 1: I mean, uh, because even if he's not playing safety.
- 11:03Speaker 1: I mean, when have you seen a guy block a
- 11:06Speaker 1: kick like that? I mean we're not talking about Toot
- 11:09Speaker 1: tall Jones, Chris Canny. I'm taller than you. I'm gonna
- 11:12Speaker 1: block the kick, you know, and these guys good one
- 11:15Speaker 1: around the corner. Scandrick. I thought Scandrid's gonna block a
- 11:18Speaker 1: kick for like you know, for fifteen years when he
- 11:21Speaker 1: was slight, you know, I thought he would he would
- 11:22Speaker 1: make it block. But the way that he timed that,
- 11:24Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the player. That's just a football player.
- 11:27Speaker 1: And he's been doing it since, you know, since really
- 11:30Speaker 1: all of all of camp. I mean, he had an
- 11:31Speaker 1: interception there, you know, in the first what minute of
- 11:35Speaker 1: camp got the whole press box excited, you know, But
- 11:39Speaker 1: but that's the inside joke there, but one. He's been
- 11:42Speaker 1: making plays. I mean, he's been making plays. And he
- 11:44Speaker 1: made a play there and it was it was unbelievable.
- 11:46Speaker 1: And I think that he's got to play. I mean,
- 11:49Speaker 1: you you figure it out. You just figured it out.
- 11:50Speaker 1: And and Jordan Lewis is coming to I don't know how
- 11:52Speaker 1: they're gonna keep all these guys active. I think probably
- 11:56Speaker 1: uh Igbinogainy, I think that's right. Finally got that one right. Great.
- 12:02Speaker 1: I mean I didn't have him as my first touchdown
- 12:04Speaker 1: of the season. I'm sorry, we had this whole pot
- 12:06Speaker 1: picks on the website. Didn't put him in there as
- 12:10Speaker 1: first touchdown of the season. How funny is that? But
- 12:13Speaker 1: uh yeah, jan Ye Thomas just a playmaker and you
- 12:15Speaker 1: got to figure out a spot for him, no doubt
- 12:18Speaker 1: about it. All right, going back to let me go
- 12:20Speaker 1: to the text line real quick here. I want to
- 12:21Speaker 1: make sure we do that. We definitely want to. We
- 12:23Speaker 1: want to get some some text messages in here as well.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Not everybody can call. I understand that, So let's do.
- 12:29Speaker 1: How about Bo and Laredo? He goes. Are the tight
- 12:32Speaker 1: Ends underperforming or was it just the weather? Can the
- 12:35Speaker 1: issue of the drop pass be fixed in the coming weeks?
- 12:38Speaker 1: You know, I was a little surprised. I mean I
- 12:41Speaker 1: hadn't seen drop passes from Ferguson for sure, and the
- 12:47Speaker 1: one to a hinder shot at me, that was a
- 12:48Speaker 1: great throw by Dak. I mean, he did a great
- 12:50Speaker 1: throw and just the way he's got to kind of
- 12:53Speaker 1: torqu his body like that and make the catch and
- 12:56Speaker 1: he didn't. Yeah, I'm gonna put weather in some of
- 12:59Speaker 1: that because it didn't. It doesn't rain like that, and
- 13:01Speaker 1: in aufiction are and it certainly didn't. Well, it rained some,
- 13:04Speaker 1: but but not like that, and and not they didn't
- 13:07Speaker 1: practice in it. And so I hadn't seen anything from
- 13:10Speaker 1: drop passes to those guys. So I'm gonna say probably so,
- 13:13Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry about that too much. I thought they
- 13:15Speaker 1: were forcing it a little bit to the tight end.
- 13:18Speaker 1: But you know that's that's there's gotta be something and
- 13:21Speaker 1: and yeah, tight end play will be there. But but
- 13:24Speaker 1: Brandon cook Man, Brandon Cooks just what he's going to
- 13:27Speaker 1: bring to the offense. There what he did bring to
- 13:29Speaker 1: the offense, because to open it up, I think the
- 13:31Speaker 1: tight ends are going to be really really effective. Uh
- 13:34Speaker 1: in this offense. All right, let's go to uh is
- 13:38Speaker 1: it Alan in Clearwater, Florida? Did we already go to? No?
- 13:41Speaker 12: I'm here?
- 13:42Speaker 1: What's up?
- 13:43Speaker 7: Hey?
- 13:43Speaker 11: Look, good morning, good morning.
- 13:45Speaker 13: So wow, what a win.
- 13:48Speaker 7: Great.
- 13:48Speaker 13: Great to be a Cowboy fan today. I've been a
- 13:50Speaker 13: fan since sixty eight. I've been a fan of your shows,
- 13:53Speaker 13: all of them. Talked to you a couple of times before.
- 13:58Speaker 13: I'm so happy. This is just happy as i've been.
- 14:01Speaker 13: I'm sure you remember the thirty five nothing when the
- 14:03Speaker 13: Giants that year was opening also opening weekend, and the
- 14:07Speaker 13: Giants were supposed to be able to compete, and everybody
- 14:09Speaker 13: was looked. All the Giants fans were talking and Emmett
- 14:12Speaker 13: had like, I don't know, three or four touchdowns. It
- 14:14Speaker 13: was crazy remember that game.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I actually kind of started a storm on Twitter.
- 14:19Speaker 1: If you didn't if you didn't see or ex Twitter, Yeah,
- 14:22Speaker 1: I put that out there. I said, just saying, just saying,
- 14:25Speaker 1: the last time Colby's won the Super Bowl, they beat
- 14:27Speaker 1: the Giants on the road at night thirty five, nothing,
- 14:31Speaker 1: just saying, yeah, I haven't had a tweet that that
- 14:34Speaker 1: has blown up like that in a long time. So yeah, yeah,
- 14:36Speaker 1: I do remember the game, and I triggered some memories
- 14:39Speaker 1: of others as well, and so you know, I'm just wonderful.
- 14:42Speaker 1: I'm saying it wonderful. Yeah.
- 14:44Speaker 13: But but but but okay, just here's my concern. So
- 14:47Speaker 13: I'd like it to like, you know, not a perfect game.
- 14:49Speaker 13: You started out by saying, look, the team to have
- 14:52Speaker 13: a defense like this for the first time in a
- 14:53Speaker 13: long time. It's been so absent, we haven't had championships
- 14:56Speaker 13: in a while. This defense is so exciting. How Ever,
- 15:00Speaker 13: I was really really excited to see this West Coast
- 15:04Speaker 13: Texas offense because I have been the guy saying that
- 15:07Speaker 13: they should put back in that offense for the last
- 15:09Speaker 13: three or four years because I think it really is
- 15:12Speaker 13: going to suit him. I was just very disappointed in Well,
- 15:16Speaker 13: his performance, okay, that's you know, he didn't have a
- 15:19Speaker 13: great night. But the play calling and what Mike, I
- 15:23Speaker 13: hope this is not the whole sum total that we're
- 15:25Speaker 13: going to see of this offense. I've been waiting for
- 15:27Speaker 13: since it was announced that that's what he was going
- 15:29Speaker 13: to install. Running up the middle, the short passes on
- 15:32Speaker 13: the outside, they weren't really they weren't called. In my opinion,
- 15:37Speaker 13: there was very little to be excited about on that
- 15:40Speaker 13: side of the ball. And I'd just like to hear
- 15:42Speaker 13: your opinion about that.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Okay, thanks, thanks for the call. I'm not I'm not
- 15:47Speaker 1: with you on that one. I'm really not. I mean,
- 15:50Speaker 1: I think games take on the life of their own,
- 15:53Speaker 1: especially when when weather factors in. It's it's not easy
- 15:57Speaker 1: to move the ball in those conditions. It is not,
- 15:59Speaker 1: I mean. And so I think the way they called
- 16:02Speaker 1: the game, I was I was fine with it. I mean, yeah,
- 16:04Speaker 1: I mean, when you get down inside the ten yard
- 16:07Speaker 1: line and you have kick a field goal, you're not
- 16:09Speaker 1: gonna be excited about that. And and and yeah, I didn't.
- 16:11Speaker 1: I didn't agree with the play calling there. I thought,
- 16:15Speaker 1: if you're going to replace Tony Pollard, I mean, Zach,
- 16:18Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Zeke. With Tony Pollard, if he's now your
- 16:21Speaker 1: running back one, well give him the football. Then give
- 16:24Speaker 1: him the football at some point run him up the middle.
- 16:27Speaker 1: I mean, you're saying to us that he's the number
- 16:29Speaker 1: one back. Just because he's not built the same doesn't
- 16:31Speaker 1: mean he can't be effective like that. And so I
- 16:34Speaker 1: thought that that series particularly, you know, they got cute
- 16:37Speaker 1: with Turpin in the outside and they threw it to
- 16:39Speaker 1: Ferguson and I can't remember what happened on third down,
- 16:42Speaker 1: but they you know, they didn't score, and I thought,
- 16:44Speaker 1: you know, let's just let's see, let's just see if
- 16:46Speaker 1: Polard can get can you know, get some ark, And
- 16:48Speaker 1: then later on they did that. I just wasn't I'm not,
- 16:52Speaker 1: I'm not concerned at all. But about the offense. I
- 16:54Speaker 1: thought the offense they moved the ball well and when
- 16:57Speaker 1: they needed to. You know, if you want to take
- 16:59Speaker 1: out the the the block kick, fine, take that out.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Give them the field goal. If if Gano's gonna make it,
- 17:05Speaker 1: give it to him. Take out the interception. By playing
- 17:09Speaker 1: this team still wins twenty seven to three, and the offense,
- 17:12Speaker 1: you know, still move the ball and did their thing,
- 17:14Speaker 1: and so, uh, it can get better. But they're going
- 17:19Speaker 1: to get better. This team, this offense is going to
- 17:21Speaker 1: get better. They're gonna definitely get better at left guard.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Even though I thought too many dog get played well,
- 17:25Speaker 1: they're gonna get better there with Tyler Smith coming back.
- 17:29Speaker 1: They're going to be a better offense and they're gonna
- 17:32Speaker 1: play in better conditions. And I just I definitely think
- 17:36Speaker 1: that that it'll it'll improve. But I'm nothing to worry
- 17:39Speaker 1: about right now. All right, let's go to the phone
- 17:41Speaker 1: line here. We got Maurice. It's all right, yeah, Maurice,
- 17:46Speaker 1: one more call before we take a break. Maurice, what's up?
- 17:48Speaker 14: Hey man? There's two things Nick. I just want to say,
- 17:51Speaker 14: thanks to our callers. Man, it's great that you're listening.
- 17:54Speaker 14: But let's get these cars there. We got Nick up
- 17:56Speaker 14: to sixteen last week. Let's get them over twenty.
- 17:59Speaker 1: All right, all right, hey, you know what else we
- 18:01Speaker 1: can do? Another thing when if we're gonna if we're
- 18:03Speaker 1: gonna play that game, let's let's watch. Give me a
- 18:07Speaker 1: like on on the ex Twitter and share it, retweet
- 18:10Speaker 1: some things. We've got to get some get some some
- 18:12Speaker 1: viewership up a little bit. I need everybody to if
- 18:15Speaker 1: if they're on if they're on YouTube or watching it
- 18:18Speaker 1: on YouTube or on Twitter, I need I need some
- 18:21Speaker 1: some some shares, some some retweets, some reposts, whatever they
- 18:25Speaker 1: call it. Now, need to kind of get the word
- 18:26Speaker 1: out a little bit. But hey, not that I don't
- 18:28Speaker 1: love this group, this group right here that I've got. Man,
- 18:31Speaker 1: I really appreciate you guys, you guys getting this show
- 18:33Speaker 1: off the ground. Maurice, what you got for me? Tacoma,
- 18:36Speaker 1: Washington too? What's up?
- 18:37Speaker 14: Absolutely? So, I just you know, the players did great,
- 18:40Speaker 14: but I want to want to say something about that
- 18:42Speaker 14: coaching staff. You know, they were clearly the winners of
- 18:46Speaker 14: that game. They currently out coached the Giants to the fullest,
- 18:49Speaker 14: and I believe that they deserve their flowers and just
- 18:51Speaker 14: kudos to that coaching staff.
- 18:53Speaker 1: What do you think, Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean,
- 18:55Speaker 1: we don't ever do that. I mean seriously, I mean
- 18:58Speaker 1: most people don't do that. They don't think of the
- 19:00Speaker 1: coaches that they think of a great play They don't
- 19:03Speaker 1: think of a great play call and then when it
- 19:04Speaker 1: doesn't work, then it's a bad play call. But yeah,
- 19:07Speaker 1: coaches don't ever like you said, get the flowers that
- 19:10Speaker 1: they should in this game. And another thing, we can
- 19:13Speaker 1: probably put this to bed. Remember this feeling right now,
- 19:17Speaker 1: and fast forward next year. What forty eight weeks from now,
- 19:22Speaker 1: forty nine weeks from now, when you're sitting here going,
- 19:25Speaker 1: why don't we play our starters in the preseason, Why
- 19:28Speaker 1: don't we ever do this kind of stuff? Why we're
- 19:30Speaker 1: gonna be rusty? Just remember this game right here, Okay,
- 19:34Speaker 1: because as rusty as they are, and then you think
- 19:37Speaker 1: they are in the rain to go out and play
- 19:40Speaker 1: like that. No, the offense didn't play great, but the
- 19:42Speaker 1: offense was effective. The offense did its job. They moved
- 19:46Speaker 1: the ball, they scored points. If you scored twenty seven
- 19:49Speaker 1: points on the road, you should win, and that's pretty
- 19:51Speaker 1: much what they did. And they were able then to
- 19:54Speaker 1: the defense to tack it on even more so. No,
- 19:58Speaker 1: I think the way they've and old things, the way
- 20:01Speaker 1: they've gotten this team ready. You got to give Mike
- 20:03Speaker 1: McCarthy and his staff a lot of credit. They got
- 20:05Speaker 1: the team built it up for this moment. Everything that
- 20:08Speaker 1: happened in training camp, this guy's hurt, hold them out,
- 20:11Speaker 1: get them ready, get them ready for this game. Right here,
- 20:13Speaker 1: the Cowboys were definitely ready for that game. We're gonna

- 22:28Speaker 1: Back to Cowboys storylines, We're starting off the second half
- 22:34Speaker 1: here the Cowboys storyline show. We're gonna start off second
- 22:37Speaker 1: half like the Cowboys did, had a big lead, just
- 22:39Speaker 1: like we did a great first half. Gonna get the ball,
- 22:41Speaker 1: We're gonna drive right now, We're gonna score. That's exactly
- 22:43Speaker 1: a little way the Cowboys did it last night, winning
- 22:46Speaker 1: forty to nothing. Forty to nothing, biggest biggest shutout win
- 22:52Speaker 1: in team history, biggest margin of victory in a week
- 22:57Speaker 1: one game. And I just, you know, I don't know
- 23:01Speaker 1: what else to say. And you could go on and
- 23:02Speaker 1: on and on about the different stats and things that
- 23:05Speaker 1: hadn't seen a kick return and and a I mean,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I mean a special team touchdown and a pick sick
- 23:11Speaker 1: and in the same game. I mean, just so many things.
- 23:14Speaker 1: It was just it was awesome, and we can we
- 23:16Speaker 1: can go all day long. And I know you guys
- 23:18Speaker 1: wanted to talk about it too, So that's why we're
- 23:20Speaker 1: gonna go to the text line though, real quick.
- 23:23Speaker 7: Uh.
- 23:23Speaker 1: We had a question or a caller earlier that had said, hey,
- 23:26Speaker 1: give give Jerry some credit for MVP for keeping dan
- 23:29Speaker 1: Quinn Dan from Philly also says that, and then also
- 23:33Speaker 1: who else said that? We had another guy about Will McClay.
- 23:37Speaker 1: I think I just missed it. Here we go from Stratford, Kentucky, Stratford, Connecticut,
- 23:43Speaker 1: Tony and Stratford, Connecticut said m VP for Jerry for
- 23:48Speaker 1: keeping Will McClay. So it's it's he's right too. I mean,
- 23:52Speaker 1: it's the way Will Will McClay really helps being here
- 23:56Speaker 1: because you need consistency, you need continuity, and and that's
- 24:00Speaker 1: what Will provide. And when that's why you don't change
- 24:02Speaker 1: coaches all the time. You know, it's not smart to
- 24:05Speaker 1: do that because you want a guy like Will McClay
- 24:08Speaker 1: to know what his coaches want, what they need, what's
- 24:10Speaker 1: going to work for their system. So the longer you
- 24:13Speaker 1: can keep these things together, the better you're going to be.
- 24:16Speaker 1: And so yeah, everybody's right on that. Those guys are
- 24:20Speaker 1: our MVPs and Jerry, you know, give them credit for
- 24:23Speaker 1: keeping them all. Right, back to the phone line from
- 24:25Speaker 1: New Mexico. We have Kent from Los Cruces, New Mexico.
- 24:28Speaker 6: What's up, Hey, Nick?
- 24:30Speaker 16: What an awesome Monday morning?
- 24:32Speaker 1: Awesome?
- 24:33Speaker 17: Yes, Hey, I got two things. First off, I was
- 24:36Speaker 17: glad to finally see the shutout. Maybe I'm greedy, but
- 24:40Speaker 17: every time I see our defense reform like that for
- 24:42Speaker 17: three fourths of a game and then either play calling
- 24:45Speaker 17: changes or they let up intensity a little bit when
- 24:47Speaker 17: they've got the game well in handed, it's always been
- 24:50Speaker 17: to me disappointing to watch them give up a shutout
- 24:53Speaker 17: late after thoroughly dominating That was just really awesome to
- 24:57Speaker 17: see that and then complete the shutout last night. Seond,
- 25:00Speaker 17: I've got to respectfully disagree with Big Nate.
- 25:03Speaker 6: You know.
- 25:03Speaker 17: He he has said that this is a successful season
- 25:07Speaker 17: if we make it to the NFC Championship Game. I
- 25:10Speaker 17: respectfully disagree there with this group. If we can't get
- 25:14Speaker 17: to the Super Bowl and win it, then win are we?
- 25:17Speaker 17: This is a fantastic group of coaches and players. I
- 25:22Speaker 17: think this year is the year.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate the call, thanks Kent, and and it's
- 25:27Speaker 1: one thing that that you know, I don't want to
- 25:29Speaker 1: deter fans from from making statements like that. But for
- 25:33Speaker 1: me personally though, and on on this show, I think
- 25:37Speaker 1: you guys known me long enough, I don't I don't
- 25:39Speaker 1: love to go down that route because I think when
- 25:42Speaker 1: you do that, you don't enjoy the season. I'm gonna
- 25:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy the ride type of guy. We all
- 25:48Speaker 1: know what the goal is, and yeah, I mean it's
- 25:50Speaker 1: this team looks like a team that that will be
- 25:52Speaker 1: competing for it, and if they don't get there, there's
- 25:54Speaker 1: going to be a disappointing loss, you know, just like
- 25:57Speaker 1: they all are. Go back and look at all the
- 25:58Speaker 1: playoff losses. Not only was it a game you thought
- 26:02Speaker 1: that they could have won or should have won, but
- 26:04Speaker 1: something weird probably happened. There's some weird things that happened
- 26:07Speaker 1: that have kept the Cowboys from advancing there. And and
- 26:11Speaker 1: the main reason is because they just haven't been good enough.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I mean, we know that, but but you can't tell
- 26:15Speaker 1: me some some strange things you just don't see every
- 26:18Speaker 1: day haven't happened in these playoff losses. And so you know,
- 26:22Speaker 1: we'll get there. When we get there, I think we
- 26:24Speaker 1: take it one one game at a time, not to
- 26:27Speaker 1: be cliche, but that's what it is. And we're doing
- 26:29Speaker 1: this show five times a week, five times a week.
- 26:32Speaker 1: We're gonna do a lot of these shows. We get
- 26:34Speaker 1: a lot of these calls, so you know we're gonna
- 26:35Speaker 1: we're I think I think we know what what what
- 26:37Speaker 1: the goal is, but uh, you know, I don't like
- 26:40Speaker 1: going there too much because I think we kind of
- 26:42Speaker 1: overlook sometimes what we're doing right here. And and your
- 26:45Speaker 1: first point is what we talked about with the depth,
- 26:47Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't give up the shutout because they're
- 26:51Speaker 1: still better than the giants that they emptied the bench.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Those guys were still better Sam Williams, Dante Fowler, Neville Gallimore.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I mean, those guys are are better football players, and
- 27:02Speaker 1: they were playing better, and they had some pride in
- 27:04Speaker 1: the line. They did not want to give up that
- 27:05Speaker 1: shout out, and it definitely showed all right. Going back
- 27:07Speaker 1: to the phone line from fort Worth, David and fort Worth,
- 27:10Speaker 1: I think first time caller, David, what's up?
- 27:13Speaker 18: Yes sir, Yes sir, first time caller, A longtime listener Nick,
- 27:16Speaker 18: if I can't say really quick. I discovered you guys
- 27:19Speaker 18: back in twenty fourteen. I know it wasn't as long
- 27:21Speaker 18: as some other people, but I was deployed, man, I
- 27:23Speaker 18: was kind of in a dark place and found jobs podcast.
- 27:25Speaker 18: Obviously the twenty fourteen was an amazing season, so it
- 27:28Speaker 18: really helped me out, and so I want to thank
- 27:30Speaker 18: you personally.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Well, thank you, thank you, because we'll hold on because
- 27:33Speaker 1: what you do is more important than any of us,
- 27:36Speaker 1: and so I want to thank you for that. And
- 27:40Speaker 1: if we could help in any way, then that's awesome.
- 27:42Speaker 1: But let's not overlook the fact that what you do
- 27:45Speaker 1: is critical for all of us. So thank you, Yeah, sure.
- 27:49Speaker 18: Thank you so much. I just wanted to bring up
- 27:51Speaker 18: because some of my buddies, as long as some of
- 27:53Speaker 18: the callers today, they've kind of brought up their worries
- 27:56Speaker 18: about the offense and how it wasn't clicking, how they
- 27:58Speaker 18: like and this and that.
- 27:59Speaker 4: And sure you you know, you.
- 28:00Speaker 18: Touched on other writers are gonna touch on it and stuff.
- 28:02Speaker 18: But I just wanted to remind everybody, you know, it
- 28:04Speaker 18: was it was it was a it was a downpour.
- 28:06Speaker 18: We were down a left guard, We had no preseason
- 28:10Speaker 18: worked with all these guys, you know what I mean.
- 28:11Speaker 18: It's a new offensive system. So I just encourage everybody
- 28:14Speaker 18: not to get too high on the defense and not
- 28:16Speaker 18: to get too low on the offense because the Giants
- 28:18Speaker 18: were facing the same issues as well. So you kind
- 28:20Speaker 18: of got to you kind of gotta have a level head,
- 28:21Speaker 18: and if you think about things like that. But I'm
- 28:23Speaker 18: super excited.
- 28:24Speaker 4: Man, it was.
- 28:24Speaker 19: It was awesome.
- 28:25Speaker 18: Get special team stepped up, defense stepped up. Marson's is
- 28:28Speaker 18: just a lion, like we all know, you know, so, Uh, man,
- 28:31Speaker 18: I'm really excited. I appreciate you taking my call on it.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, David. And and you're right, Uh, let's
- 28:36Speaker 1: don't get too too low on the offense, for sure.
- 28:39Speaker 1: I don't know if I can if I'm if the
- 28:41Speaker 1: fans are going to go with you on don't get
- 28:42Speaker 1: too high on the defense. I mean right after that game,
- 28:45Speaker 1: I mean, how can you not? But bet you're right. Uh,
- 28:47Speaker 1: let's don't. Let's don't think that this is going to
- 28:49Speaker 1: be a shout out every week and and it certainly
- 28:51Speaker 1: won't be in there and they'll have some issues. I mean,
- 28:53Speaker 1: the Daniel Jones is just an average quarterback to me,
- 28:56Speaker 1: at best average. He can run, he's he's an athletic quarterback,
- 29:01Speaker 1: and he made some plays on you know. Now. Why
- 29:03Speaker 1: they kept him in the game so long, I don't know,
- 29:05Speaker 1: because he kept getting hit over and over and over.
- 29:08Speaker 1: I thought it was funny going down on the elevator.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Inside the elevator, you hear the the play by play
- 29:17Speaker 1: for the Giants. They have it kind of in the
- 29:19Speaker 1: speakers there, and so they're reading off the stats and
- 29:22Speaker 1: they said, Daniel Jones has been hit eleven times. It
- 29:25Speaker 1: says Daniel Jones has been hit eleven times. And the
- 29:28Speaker 1: play by play said, well, once you ask him tomorrow morning,
- 29:30Speaker 1: and I guarantee he'll tell you he got hit a
- 29:32Speaker 1: lot more than that, because it feels like he got
- 29:34Speaker 1: hit thirty times, and he did. I mean, when he
- 29:36Speaker 1: run the ball, you get tackled as well. I thought
- 29:38Speaker 1: that they beat him up the entire game. So that
- 29:42Speaker 1: was actually fun to watch for the Cowboys defense. Just
- 29:45Speaker 1: in waves like that coming after him. All right, phone
- 29:48Speaker 1: line again in Lubbock, Texas, Justin and Lubbick. What's up?
- 29:53Speaker 12: Good morning, victory Monday, Good morning, Always a good victory
- 29:57Speaker 12: Monday morning. When you are a Longhorn fan in Love
- 30:01Speaker 12: It Texas.
- 30:03Speaker 1: If you're a Longhorse fan in Loving Texas, it was
- 30:06Speaker 1: probably the best weekend you could have, right.
- 30:08Speaker 12: I mean, and I got a baby on the way.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Congrats.
- 30:13Speaker 12: I got the trifecta.
- 30:15Speaker 6: Man.
- 30:17Speaker 12: Man, I really thought that the three sets for Mic.
- 30:20Speaker 12: Six minutes into the first quarter, I was like, it's done.
- 30:23Speaker 12: It's gonna happen.
- 30:24Speaker 11: Said that, Yes, sir, that was me.
- 30:27Speaker 12: But also I want to say I thought the play
- 30:31Speaker 12: calling from Mike was amazing. We just I think due
- 30:36Speaker 12: to the lack of all together them all playing together
- 30:41Speaker 12: in the game, it just didn't get executed well. But
- 30:44Speaker 12: the play calling I thought was on to Cooks, I
- 30:48Speaker 12: thought played amazing. He brought a toughness that I didn't
- 30:52Speaker 12: I didn't think he had like that third and five,
- 30:54Speaker 12: third and six over the middle, knowing he's going to
- 30:57Speaker 12: take that hit, still getting it forced. And then like
- 31:01Speaker 12: like you said all year last year, and like I've
- 31:03Speaker 12: been saying, there was no reason to have turfing speed
- 31:07Speaker 12: and not have him on the field. So to see
- 31:10Speaker 12: him incorporated into the offense I thought was really cool.
- 31:13Speaker 12: The pool, the pool by Tyron where he got that touchdown,
- 31:17Speaker 12: where Turpin got the touchdown. So I was really impressed
- 31:20Speaker 12: with the play calling. It's just needing to execute better execution,
- 31:24Speaker 12: which comes with time. So yeah, good, good, good, good
- 31:27Speaker 12: victory Monday, And I hope you guys have a great day.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Thank you, justin appreciate that You're right. I mean, we've
- 31:32Speaker 1: been waiting to see a little bit of turping on offense,
- 31:35Speaker 1: and he showed it, and yeah, I don't have a
- 31:37Speaker 1: I don't have a huge problem with the way that
- 31:39Speaker 1: the game was called. I mean, not every night, every
- 31:41Speaker 1: play works, and you understand that. But I thought that
- 31:44Speaker 1: they mix things up, you know, a little bit, and
- 31:46Speaker 1: that's that's the way the game goes. I guarantee you
- 31:49Speaker 1: of all the shows we do, I think we do
- 31:51Speaker 1: what seven daily shows. That's thirty five shows here between
- 31:55Speaker 1: now and the next game. And on that thirty five
- 31:58Speaker 1: someone's gonna be talking about what's up with Gallup? Why
- 32:02Speaker 1: didn't Michael Gallup do anything? What's wrong with him?
- 32:04Speaker 13: You know?
- 32:05Speaker 1: And then and then that's that's the nature of this thing,
- 32:07Speaker 1: how it works. And then next week they're gonna play
- 32:10Speaker 1: the Jets, or maybe the week after against Arizona, and
- 32:13Speaker 1: Gallup's gonna have one hundred and twenty five yards and
- 32:15Speaker 1: a touchdown or two. And that's that's the way that
- 32:17Speaker 1: this thing works. And so now when teams are gonna
- 32:20Speaker 1: look at Cooks, okay, we gotta play like this, that's
- 32:22Speaker 1: where Gallup will come in. That's that's the beauty of
- 32:24Speaker 1: having all this depth. All right, let's go to the
- 32:26Speaker 1: line again Ronnie in New Jersey. Ronnie, what's up?
- 32:31Speaker 20: Hey, Nick? How you doing?
- 32:32Speaker 1: I'm good man.
- 32:34Speaker 20: I don't love the show, Love to Break love all
- 32:36Speaker 20: your shows, Nick. The only thing I wanted to ask
- 32:38Speaker 20: you was the defense, right, They looked great. They looked amazing.
- 32:44Speaker 20: The run defense at the beginning, it lookn't for all
- 32:46Speaker 20: those turnovers and everything that was happening. It looked it
- 32:50Speaker 20: looked to me like there was about to start running
- 32:53Speaker 20: the ball right down the middle again, like took like
- 32:56Speaker 20: last year, right down the middle, and it looked like
- 32:59Speaker 20: they couldn't up there. And the other question, the old Nines.
- 33:03Speaker 20: I mean, I was nervous when I was I was
- 33:06Speaker 20: so nervous waiting for this game where all to talk
- 33:08Speaker 20: about the two big defensive tackles the Giants have. And wow,
- 33:13Speaker 20: I mean that guy seventy one, I thought he was
- 33:16Speaker 20: going to get blown up. He did pretty good.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he do good. He played well, he did.
- 33:21Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. You know, the first drive, the
- 33:24Speaker 1: first drive of the game, you know, the Giants getting
- 33:26Speaker 1: the ball. I mean that's you know, it's the first
- 33:27Speaker 1: drive of the season. I mean that this is kind
- 33:29Speaker 1: of everything that that the Giants have worked on a
- 33:32Speaker 1: training camp, all the stuff that they're trying to do,
- 33:34Speaker 1: and they've been they've been scouting the Cowboys. I mean
- 33:36Speaker 1: that they've been waiting for you know, Micah Parsons this
- 33:39Speaker 1: whole time. So you know, they tried some different things
- 33:42Speaker 1: and they were moving, they were having some success. And
- 33:44Speaker 1: then you know, I thought the biggest play of the game.
- 33:47Speaker 1: And you know, you guys know if you if you
- 33:49Speaker 1: look at the articles on our site, I've been doing
- 33:50Speaker 1: this article for sixteen years now that don't forget these
- 33:54Speaker 1: these plays. Don't forget these five plays. And the first one,
- 33:57Speaker 1: the one that I think was the biggest domino of
- 33:59Speaker 1: the entire game, was a false start. The false start
- 34:03Speaker 1: on their left tackle. Uh when when that happened, it
- 34:06Speaker 1: was third and two and the eight. They were driving.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Maybe they're gonna run, Maybe they were gonna pass, Maybe
- 34:09Speaker 1: we're gonna you know, have a lot of options there,
- 34:11Speaker 1: probably gonna pass because their left tackle Thomas jumped early
- 34:15Speaker 1: trying to get a jump on on Micah Parsons. Well
- 34:17Speaker 1: that pushed him to third and seven. Well, you know,
- 34:19Speaker 1: well now you have to pass. And then that was
- 34:22Speaker 1: the next play was the bad snap rolling around and
- 34:25Speaker 1: then they lost all those yards and then the block
- 34:27Speaker 1: field go and all that. It all started with that
- 34:28Speaker 1: false start penalty, so that that kind of changed everything.
- 34:33Speaker 1: I'm not worried so much about the defense. And I
- 34:34Speaker 1: thought he dooga. I thought from from the start he
- 34:37Speaker 1: was a left guard and he should have been playing guard,
- 34:38Speaker 1: and that's that's what he did. So all right, thanks
- 34:42Speaker 1: for the call there. Going back to the line, Bob
- 34:45Speaker 1: in Mercedes, Texas, Good morning.
- 34:49Speaker 4: Nick, what's up Bob hey? I tell you what, man,
- 34:52Speaker 4: after that first drive by the Giants, I'd have sat
- 34:54Speaker 4: back in a rocking jer of my arms, sold it
- 34:56Speaker 4: and loved it, just basking it. I want to pass
- 35:00Speaker 4: it on a little ted bit to you and maybe
- 35:03Speaker 4: maybe you can get this to Ferguson and some of
- 35:05Speaker 4: those receivers. Isaiah Standback had on the earlier show this morning,
- 35:10Speaker 4: the earlier podcast, uh said that back when he was
- 35:13Speaker 4: playing receiver that he learned something from t o Owens
- 35:18Speaker 4: too told him that in wet weather, you don't wear
- 35:21Speaker 4: the stickham gloves because they become slick. You go the
- 35:25Speaker 4: leather gloves and when they get wet, they become sticky
- 35:29Speaker 4: and grasp the wall, and I thought that was really
- 35:33Speaker 4: interesting because I don't think that that's something that's really
- 35:35Speaker 4: commonly known.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Right right, I mean, yeah, I didn't. I didn't know that.
- 35:39Speaker 1: And of course THEO had some issues catching the ball
- 35:42Speaker 1: sometimes as well, but for the most party he had
- 35:44Speaker 1: he had really really great hands. I didn't know that,
- 35:47Speaker 1: didn't Yeah, I didn't, I didn't. I haven't heard that one.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Uh that was that was from from our own Isaiah standback,
- 35:52Speaker 4: And I tell you what, I really respect Isaiah when
- 35:56Speaker 4: he he's like Nate when he talks. I listened. Yeah, well,
- 36:01Speaker 4: it's kind of likes to.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that. The difference between the three of
- 36:07Speaker 1: us is that, uh, you know, I'm sitting at zero
- 36:10Speaker 1: on games played in the league, and we'll stay there,
- 36:14Speaker 1: and those guys have certainly done it. And a guy
- 36:16Speaker 1: like Isaiah who's played you know, wide receiver and quarterback,
- 36:20Speaker 1: he understands that he's smart as a whip and a
- 36:24Speaker 1: great athlete. And so yeah, we're lucky to have him
- 36:26Speaker 1: on our teams, on our pregame show, postgame shows, obviously
- 36:30Speaker 1: talking cowboys and and all the things that that that
- 36:32Speaker 1: he does. Nate as well, we're blessed to have a
- 36:34Speaker 1: lot of the former players that really come in and
- 36:36Speaker 1: bring different insights. Uh, you know, if you haven't checked
- 36:39Speaker 1: out players lounge, I mean that that that's another one
- 36:42Speaker 1: where we're you know, Barry Church, Danny McCrae, and and
- 36:45Speaker 1: obviously on Hanging with the Boys with Nate and then
- 36:48Speaker 1: Jesse Holly. Jesse Holly's you know, he he's got some
- 36:51Speaker 1: opinions as well and his perspective. So that's what you
- 36:55Speaker 1: know when you really talk about all these shows, and
- 36:57Speaker 1: everyone kind of brings a different type of of of
- 37:00Speaker 1: you know, level of of you know, just background of
- 37:04Speaker 1: what they bring. Some of it is from a fans perspective,
- 37:06Speaker 1: which is important too. You got to remember that who
- 37:09Speaker 1: are we talking to? Talking to you guys, so they
- 37:11Speaker 1: want to hear what other fan perspectives as well. So
- 37:14Speaker 1: that's I hear. I am talking about all the shows
- 37:17Speaker 1: trying to get to these calls. But I think it's
- 37:18Speaker 1: important to kind of point that out that we do
- 37:20Speaker 1: have a lot of guys, a lot of people and
- 37:22Speaker 1: not guys, men and women on these shows that really
- 37:26Speaker 1: do a great job and bring different perspectives. All right.
- 37:28Speaker 1: Vince from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
- 37:30Speaker 16: Vince, what's up, Oh, not too much.
- 37:33Speaker 21: Roses are smelling good, sunny great.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Yeah, everything everything. I'm sure the coffee taste tastes good
- 37:40Speaker 1: this morning, and and things great. Yeah.
- 37:43Speaker 21: So you talked to about it a little earlier about
- 37:47Speaker 21: we didn't play a preseason with the offense. It's just
- 37:51Speaker 21: gonna take a little while to get it gone. New
- 37:53Speaker 21: play calling and all that. But I think, like all
- 37:56Speaker 21: of some of the other calls were saying, it's gonna
- 37:59Speaker 21: get better, and it's gonna get really really good. Yeah,
- 38:03Speaker 21: and the best the rest of the league is gonna
- 38:06Speaker 21: have to watch out for us.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I mean, I agree, it's gonna I
- 38:10Speaker 1: think the offense will get better, you know, I think
- 38:12Speaker 1: the defense. I think teams will also figure out some
- 38:15Speaker 1: ways to neutralize on defense. You know, they'll they'll they'll
- 38:19Speaker 1: figure out what the Cowboys are doing. But the if
- 38:21Speaker 1: Dorrence Armstrong and Dante Fowler and OsO Diggi Zoo is
- 38:25Speaker 1: getting those sacks, it's gonna be I mean, it's tough
- 38:27Speaker 1: to stop. And I had forty one minutes into the
- 38:30Speaker 1: show here and I forgot to I mean, my favorite
- 38:32Speaker 1: play of the entire game, and I was, like, you know,
- 38:35Speaker 1: I was looking at it and in the press box
- 38:38Speaker 1: over and over. It was the play where they moved
- 38:40Speaker 1: Osa out to the end and and Micah inside. Micah
- 38:43Speaker 1: gets double team pushes them back to I mean he
- 38:47Speaker 1: he was, he was making some some progress here and
- 38:49Speaker 1: Osa was able to kind of slide in and get
- 38:52Speaker 1: the sack. To me, that shows look at the strength
- 38:55Speaker 1: that Micah has. Look at the versatility that Osa has.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Look at the creativity for dan Quinn to kind of
- 39:01Speaker 1: be able to do that. When you can do that,
- 39:03Speaker 1: when your defensive tackle can play in and then rush
- 39:05Speaker 1: from the inside, and your pass rusher who's really called
- 39:08Speaker 1: a linebacker can can push a double team back into
- 39:11Speaker 1: the pocket and collapse it like that. Man, that that
- 39:13Speaker 1: that creates so many possibilities there. Pretty pretty awesome there,
- 39:18Speaker 1: all right? Uh? Nick from North Carolina? Nick, what's up?
- 39:23Speaker 17: Hey?
- 39:23Speaker 16: Good morning morning, beautiful victory Monday. Gotta love it anytime
- 39:27Speaker 16: they can put a whooping on a divisional opponent, especially
- 39:30Speaker 16: the Giants, no doubt, no doubt, and especially when you
- 39:33Speaker 16: I know that they get a lot of recognition and
- 39:35Speaker 16: you know, publicity. That's the Cowboys. But all we kind
- 39:38Speaker 16: of listening to Straight Hand and Good Morning Football of
- 39:41Speaker 16: them all boast about the Giants. So it was it
- 39:44Speaker 16: was very, very magical to see them get a whooping
- 39:47Speaker 16: on them. But just had a quick question because I
- 39:50Speaker 16: think it was you that brought it up during the game.
- 39:54Speaker 16: I may be wrong, but I thought, do you think
- 39:56Speaker 16: that the performance of one year Thomas because he was man,
- 39:59Speaker 16: I was that was awesome to see. You think Donovan
- 40:02Speaker 16: Wilson maybe's like, all right, I'm gonna maybe try and
- 40:05Speaker 16: get back a little bit.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Oh yeah, now, yeah that was me. I was like,
- 40:08Speaker 1: Donald Wilson's calf is feeling better. And that's not to
- 40:11Speaker 1: say that he was milking or anything like that. It's
- 40:13Speaker 1: just that's that's what happens. You're not gonna sit back
- 40:16Speaker 1: and and and you know, and and let other players
- 40:19Speaker 1: come in and make all these plays. I mean, and
- 40:21Speaker 1: not just from from that standpoint, it's more like this
- 40:24Speaker 1: is this is a fun defense. Now that these guys
- 40:26Speaker 1: are making plays, he needs to get out there and
- 40:29Speaker 1: make plays. And they signed him to a deal and
- 40:30Speaker 1: and you know, I'm sure he's ready. He's kind of
- 40:32Speaker 1: chomping at the bit to get out there. Yeah.
- 40:35Speaker 16: Absolutely, And I mean it was. It was awesome to
- 40:37Speaker 16: see Jane go in and still there. But also I
- 40:40Speaker 16: mean you saw him guard Darren Waller and knock that
- 40:43Speaker 16: pass away and you, oh yeah, heard about all week
- 40:45Speaker 16: with Darren Waller. This and even collins Worth with the
- 40:48Speaker 16: interesting quote where this is the one man who's better
- 40:51Speaker 16: than the guy guarding him. That was a little interesting,
- 40:54Speaker 16: especially with Gilmour a cross. But but yeah, I just
- 40:56Speaker 16: want a beautiful Monday ready for uh. I think it's
- 40:59Speaker 16: gonna be a It'll be interesting to watch the jet
- 41:01Speaker 16: Skinner and I think that can be a really good
- 41:03Speaker 16: test but beautiful Monday. Happy, happy victory Dad, all the
- 41:07Speaker 16: Cowboys fans and I love the show.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Thank you, awesome, Thank you so much. Nick. All right,
- 41:10Speaker 1: let's let's move right right along here. Ed in Louisiana, Ed,
- 41:14Speaker 1: what's up?
- 41:16Speaker 2: Hellover everybody?
- 41:17Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 41:18Speaker 2: I'm doing good.
- 41:19Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 41:20Speaker 2: I just want to say, I see people complaining about
- 41:23Speaker 2: the offense, but I think this is really what you know,
- 41:26Speaker 2: McCarthy was envisioning. The quickest way for a team to
- 41:29Speaker 2: get back in the game is turning the ball over.
- 41:32Speaker 2: And I'm not so sure last year if we were
- 41:34Speaker 2: still had killing more, we would be throwing the ball
- 41:37Speaker 2: all over the all over the field and risking turnovers. Yeah,
- 41:41Speaker 2: I think, you know, not conservative, but just being safe
- 41:44Speaker 2: and smart with the calls.
- 41:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and that's that's the thing about having
- 41:48Speaker 1: it thanks for a call, ed. You know, when you're
- 41:52Speaker 1: when you're head coach, is the play caller. I think
- 41:55Speaker 1: he's going to be able to do that and have
- 41:58Speaker 1: a good pulse. And I'm not saying that Kellen doesn't.
- 42:01Speaker 1: But when you're just the offensive quarternat and that's that's
- 42:03Speaker 1: what you're doing, You're focused on that. Okay, we when we
- 42:05Speaker 1: get the ball back, we're going to do this, this, this.
- 42:07Speaker 1: But as the head coach, you're also kind of managing
- 42:09Speaker 1: the entire game. I think he's gonna manage it. Mike
- 42:11Speaker 1: will manage it a lot better this year, you know,
- 42:14Speaker 1: with as the play caller too, because you kind of say,
- 42:17Speaker 1: all right, you know, let's let's be smart about this.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Let's think about the defense. You know, do we have
- 42:22Speaker 1: to go for it here on fourth and fourth at
- 42:23Speaker 1: the you know, thirty eight yard line, which is called
- 42:26Speaker 1: no man's land Sometimes well not when you have a
- 42:29Speaker 1: defense like that. I mean, I think you punt it
- 42:31Speaker 1: a lot more if you have to, and push them
- 42:34Speaker 1: back and just be patient with it. And as the
- 42:38Speaker 1: play caller, yeah, you want to. Your ego gets involved
- 42:40Speaker 1: in and you're like, oh, let's go for a week.
- 42:41Speaker 1: We got this, we got this. But you also have
- 42:43Speaker 1: to be smart and that's gonna be a balance all
- 42:45Speaker 1: year longest. Be smart with it, pin them back and
- 42:47Speaker 1: see what happens, because they don't want to make a
- 42:50Speaker 1: mistake at their own ten yard line. More than likely
- 42:52Speaker 1: they're going to go three and out and punt it
- 42:54Speaker 1: back to you at midfield. And now you can go
- 42:56Speaker 1: and score if you can be patient. So all right,
- 42:59Speaker 1: uh gonna say one more call and we're gonna end this.
- 43:02Speaker 1: William in West Virginia. William, what's up, man, Thick?
- 43:06Speaker 12: How we're doing, sir, Well, we're doing.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Really like forty to nothing good, that's how we're doing.
- 43:09Speaker 1: We're doing.
- 43:12Speaker 19: I so appreciated your tweet last Fight of thirty five
- 43:14Speaker 19: to nineteen ninety five opening game of the season. That
- 43:18Speaker 19: was totally right on, spot on. I was taking the
- 43:20Speaker 19: exact same thing. I have never seen a game turn
- 43:23Speaker 19: so quickly one or two plays, but it was. It
- 43:26Speaker 19: was great. I'm looking forward to the next game. I'm
- 43:29Speaker 19: the defense. I was worried about them cutting Isaiah Lamb.
- 43:31Speaker 19: The boy Fowler still got the juice it looks like
- 43:33Speaker 19: to make Yeah. Yeah, And I forgot to do this
- 43:37Speaker 19: last time. I missed the last show. But here's your
- 43:39Speaker 19: blast of the past. Name. Yeah, Anthony dick Anthony Dickerson.
- 43:44Speaker 19: I remember he with the s MU If I recall.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Correctly, yep, Anthony Dickerson. It's so funny that you said
- 43:50Speaker 1: that because Anthony Dickerson. Uh, and William I appreciate the
- 43:55Speaker 1: call that h William Howton, don't they. Yeah, thank you, man.
- 43:59Speaker 1: This is so it's one of my all time favorites. Man,
- 44:01Speaker 1: he's the man. I haven't heard from him in a
- 44:04Speaker 1: long time, but Anthony Dickerson, you know, he made one
- 44:09Speaker 1: of my favorite plays of all time. And it actually
- 44:11Speaker 1: came up last night because we were talking about when's
- 44:13Speaker 1: the last time that the defense and the special team
- 44:16Speaker 1: scored in a game, And it's happened a couple of times,
- 44:20Speaker 1: but in that again nineteen eighty three against the Saints,
- 44:23Speaker 1: Anthony Dickerson had the game winning safety. Go find go
- 44:28Speaker 1: find a play where that's happened. They were down twenty
- 44:30Speaker 1: one to twenty Kent Stabler, Kent Stabler was the quarterback,
- 44:33Speaker 1: got sacked in the end zone by Anthony Dickerson. The
- 44:36Speaker 1: Cowboys take the lead. I guess twenty one to twenty

- 44:40Speaker 1: a game winning safety, so Anthony Dickerson, Yeah, that's a
- 44:43Speaker 1: great one. And also they had a block field goal
