  Speaker 2: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Thursday,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: September the fifth, which is a couple of days away
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: from heading off to Cleveland for another football season. I
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: know everybody can't wait just to see what this team has,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: what it's going to do this year, all the storylines
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: that we talk about every single week, every single day.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Now that the season started, Here we go, Chris, I
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: mean one of those here we goes. This is kind
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of where we are. He's probably on the phone. He
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: never listens to me anymore. That doesn't doesn't ring the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: same if we don't do it quickly. I mean, I'm
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: always he's got seventeen things going on. I don't know
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: why you can't do that anyways. I'm just kidding, all right,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: eight A A A five five two two nine seven.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: But I say that because it is time to get
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: this thing rolling. You guys know some of the storylines already.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Injury wise, they did have a tight end. John Stevens
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: pop up on the injury report with a hamstring injury.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: We'll see what his status is. Could be another setback
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: for him that delays his rookie his debut. He's never
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: played a game yet. They did keep four tight ends
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: on the on the roster, so Brevin span Ford could
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: could play as the as the third tight end if
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: they If that's the route that they go, we'll see
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: what the severity is as we get closer on to
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the game with John Stevens. All right, let's go to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the phone lines and start us off. Michael Colton, California,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: You're up first.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Here we go, Let's go Cowboys Nation. Shout out to
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: everybody out there, and Nick, thank you for having me on.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Good morning, and hey to the gentleman. I believe it
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: was yesterday saw he was talking about the defensive tackle
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: from Auburn. I kind of think he was onto something.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I think it's Justin Rodgers. But at the end of
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the day, I think politics are going to override that one.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: And that's why Mozzie Smith is going to be on
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the roster.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, Justin Rodgers is Mozzie Smith's on
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the roster because they feel like he's going to be
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: a better player. That's where he was drafted. He's he's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: got the strength to do it. It's not it's not
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: like they're keeping him over Justin Rodgers, because that Justin
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Rodgers is not on an NFL roster. So let's just
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: get that clear. He's nobody in the league thinks he's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: good enough to be on their roster as we speak.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: So that's the difference. Let's start. It's not about politics.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Sorry anyways, Okay, well that's what I believe.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: But anyways, I just want to I just want to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: say that I really think that duce Vaughn and Rico Daddo.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I think they're they're going to have a breakout here.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I think I think they're gonna pull it off for
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: this for us this year. And I think the combination
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of those two, I think I think they're gonna work,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: gonna be all right in the run game. I'm hoping, man,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: because I mean, not only do I hope, but I
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: believe that. And uh and and so that's all I
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: have to say.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Oh one more.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Question, please, if you don't mind, I believe we're gonna
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: get to win this week. What do you think, in
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: your opinion, is going to be a storyline to this
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to this game right here? What's something we're gonna be
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: talking about after all?
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Thanks Michael. I think the the the play in the trenches,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the offensive line, how it holds up against the Browns
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: defensive front. How the how the Cowboys defensive line, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: without Justin Rodgers holds up there in the middle as
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: well there, you know, against against Cleveland. I gotta go
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: back and watch some tape. Then, I guess I'm one,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: am I missing? I apologize. I thought I watched all
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: three games. You know, yes, in the second half you're
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: kind of working right and trying to get your story out.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe you didn't see the line play as much I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: on of my here. I mean that's two callers now
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that think that the Cowboys have, like, you know, traded
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: away Aaron Donald here. I don't know. I don't see it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I don't they didn't see it. As I said, nobody
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in the league has seen it. I don't know. I mean,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: seventh round picks can get cut. It happens. It's not
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a given because just because you're drafted that you make
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the team. And you know, especially on a roster that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: has a lot of draft picks, that have still tried
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to prove themselves. I mean, we're two to three drafts
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: deep on players that still haven't shown us yet what
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: they can do. That's just the talent of this roster
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and how it's been tough to crack. So a seventh rounder,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you know, it was tough. It was tough to make it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: It was very tough for Ryan Fillinoid to make it,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: but he did. He kind of snuck in there at
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the end and made it. And so again I don't
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm missing there, and you guys
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: could be right. I mean, if it turns out to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: be Jay Rattliff, hey we're totally wrong. And the Cowboys
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: would be wrong as well on that one. But you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I think that they're they're they feel good about what
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: they've done with the defensive tackles. They saw what they
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: had in there, and to say, we got to get
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: some help, we got to get veteran helped in there.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And to be honest, the guys that I when I
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: watched it in there, I thought, I thought the guy
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: they kept Denzel Dackson even though he gives them more
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: value because of an extra roster exemption. Uh, I thought
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: he was a lot more active from what from what
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I did see in there, But who knows, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: time will tell on some of these young guys. They
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: just need time to develop, all right, Bob in Rio
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Grand Valley, Bob, what's up?
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Nick Good?
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: And I'm all fired up, buddy at soundy can't get
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: here fast enough that I'm ready for the season to start,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: all right, all right, I've been watching what's been taking
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: place at the last couple of years, as you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: and I'm really high on the talent that we've got
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: sitting on the bench as well as the talent that
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: we've got starting. And I want to make a bowl
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: pretection here. But everybody's been talking about the running backs
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: being the weak clink in the week room, and I
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: don't see that. I think this committee deal is going
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: to work very well. And I think you're going to
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: see this year and finally utilize the talent of Hunter Lipsky.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I think he and Rico and Zeke are perfectly capable
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: of between the three of them averaging four yards per carry.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: And you give me four yards per carry three carries,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: that's the first down that takes the heat off the fast,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: fast rush from the opposing teams. It makes him keep
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: another man from working pass protection. That opens it up
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: for Zach or Dak and let him go to work.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: With the receiving core that we've got, the linebacking corps
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: that we've got, the offensive line that we've at, a
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: defense that we've got, tell us this is the year
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: that we might really put it together.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: And go all the way. And that's my prediction. Start
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: in the day of the week.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: You guys have a great lee.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Thank you for taking my call.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: All right, it's a good prediction there. You know, the
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: running backs, it's a big mystery, it really is. It's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't know what's going to happen
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: there just because you've got so many different avenues you
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: can go, and it's like it's frustrating when you're think
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: about it, like your fantasy football team that you're probably
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out. You know, you like it when
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: it's just set where you don't have any choices to make.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: This is my quarterback, these are my receivers, my running backs,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: my tight end, this is the defense I played.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: This is it?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, But when you have a team, when you
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: have like thirteen players that all could get mixed in
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and you're trying to figure it out. That's kind of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: what this might be here early on. You know, do
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you play Zeke? Does he? Does?
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: He?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Is he more of a three down back for you? Uh?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Do you play Rico? Does he give you a little
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: bit more juice there? What about Deuce Vaughan? Can he
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: help in certain ways? Is Dalvin Cook ready hunter Lipke?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Is he a guy that that can help and and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: carry the ball? So right now, if you're in that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: that that situation, we just don't know exactly how it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: all gonna set, but it'll it'll, it'll work itself out,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: always does, always does. All right, let's go to uh
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Ali he's in He's usually from Florida, but he's not
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: in Florida right now. Ali? What's up?
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: I neg I think he's a problem with the phone?
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: You over here? Everybody? But how are you?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I'm good? Where are you at right now?
• 8:44
  Speaker 10: I mean, Sam Paulo on my way to Brazil?
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Is that amagon?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Okay? Okay? I wonder if you're the only one over
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: there that's listening to the storyline right now?
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: Maybe you know I was watching all these.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And Eagle fans.
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: I just think I'm looking at those uniforms, so it
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: says I better call my buddy, get a little energy,
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. I forget the season kicks off
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: over there or the second game? Is it Friday? Okay, Friday?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Go ahead? Oh, we lost him, Ali, I'm here, all right,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: let's nick a.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Couple of questions.
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: How about the car card?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: All right? All right, all right, sorry. Ali probably had
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: some great some great questions there. I couldn't even understand.
• 9:44
  Speaker 12: What you think he was going to try to ask
• 9:45
  Speaker 12: you about the card show.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It's okay, it's all right. It was fine. It was
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: back in July, this week one of the season. Let's
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: get this thing Roland.
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: It was.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It was good. I hope if he calls back, that's great.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: We got to open phone lines right now. Eight eight
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: eight eight five five two two nine seven. I was
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: looking through the media guide here just to see, just
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: to kind of see what point if I was making,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: And I really kind of was wrong about the fact that,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: you know, seventh rounders get cut, not always, you know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the last few years, I mean, for the most part,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: you get drafted, they do keep you around. I was now,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I mean at least for a year like last year,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: looking at like Eric Scott and obviously duce Vaughn, Jalen Brooks.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: But but for the most part, you know, you there's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: not many seventh round picks. There's a guy I'm twenty
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: nineteen named Jalen Jelks from Oregon or running back Mike
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Weber Ohio State. They didn't they didn't make it, but
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: you know both Scarborough didn't make it and he ended
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: up playing against them for the for the Lions. So
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: you know, for the most part, they they do hang
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: in there and make the team. This particular case this year,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: you know, I think Zimmer obviously they just wanted bigger
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: bodies and veteran players. And this because this is a
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: point of emphasis. Obviously, this was a season where, I mean,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the last season ended because they couldn't stop the run,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and they they lost games because they couldn't stop the run.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: So it's been a big point of emphasis to to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: stop the run. And you know, cowboys have made their
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: their decision on what they want to do. So all right,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: well we'll we'll definitely track uh that career and see
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: how how mister Rogers does there in Cincinnati. That that's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: where he is right now on the practice squad. All right,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: James in Cincinnati. I mean sorry James and san Antonio. James,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: san Antonio, Hey, Nick, how you doing?
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: First?
• 11:39
  Speaker 13: First time caller, longtime listener. I used to listen to
• 11:43
  Speaker 13: you and Derek over in Iraq and Afghanistan. I really
• 11:48
  Speaker 13: enjoyed the show. Retired military. Uh, I just wanted to
• 11:54
  Speaker 13: say the show was great and go cowboys.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much. I'm glad you you were
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: able to get in. Do you have a question James
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: or no.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I just wanted to give a little comment, but just
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: let you know about that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: But I don't agree with the caller yesterday about Rogers.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 12:11
  Speaker 13: I know how the practice squad work, and he wasn't poached,
• 12:14
  Speaker 13: and uh, I just feel that the coaches thought that,
• 12:20
  Speaker 13: you know, he just wasn't there, and I heard that
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: he might have. I didn't want to stay with us
• 12:25
  Speaker 13: in the practice squad. He went to go somewhere else
• 12:28
  Speaker 13: because he saw the depth of the d tackles.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fun. Yeah. Thanks all right, James, thank you,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and let me say I speak for everyone, thank you
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: for for your service and what you you do.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: That that's real work. We're here talking about football and
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and and you know, games and stuff like that. You
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: what you guys do overseas to protect us is on
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a completely different level. And so I just want you
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to to to know that. But but I understand too
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: that sometimes you know it is it is, it is
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: helpful to just kind of get your mind off things,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: talk about football, talk about draft, talk about things like that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So we certainly appreciative of you, and you're right what
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: you said. Sometimes that that does happen where you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: situations change after the draft and you sign, you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the people join a team and they realize that this
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: is going to be a tough spot and maybe this
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: practice squad is better over here. So but I don't
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: really know. I don't really think he was a part
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: of the plans for the practice squad. I mean, again,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: it's all about value and what kind of value you get,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: and Daxon Danzel Dackson just gives you more value because
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you get another player. You get to have seventeen people
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: in your practice squad if you keep Daxon, if you
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: keep another defensive tackle, then you only have sixteen. So
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: that that's a no brainer. As long as he's good enough,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and it sounds like he has been. All right, Robbie
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: is next. He's in Coco Beach, Florida. Robbie, what's up.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: You've got a streak going here. I feel like you've
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: been going on every day this week.
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: I'm making all all uh all storyline team.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: This year, trying to yeah, well, you got some got
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: some work, you got some work to do. But you
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: know what, it's a long season. It's a long season.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: And there so far, so good the regular season. You know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: maybe I should count that too. It's kind of like
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: preseason is great. If you do great in the preseason,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that's awesome, But if you really stood out in the
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: regular season, shouldn't that count for more?
• 14:26
  Speaker 14: It should?
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: Maybe do the playoffs count more too?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly? So all right, great value that in a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: little bit there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: All right, Hey, I got a couple of points I'd
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: like to make. I said, you know, I've been harping
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: on the running game, and I hope to think that
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: that you and I are both right and that our
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: offensive line changes will increase our run game.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's hope. So yeah too.
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: Everybody keeps crying about Dak and how much he's gonna
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: make and if they're gonna sign him, and if they're not,
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: my buddy's a giant fan. And they paid Daniel Jones
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: a lot of money. It's the cost of doing business.
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: Whatever Deck gets paid, that's he gets paid, and that's
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: what it's worth. Yeah, and I hope, I much like you,
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: don't think we're gonna get any better at quarterback except
• 15:08
  Speaker 9: in dak at least in the near future, you know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: next five or so years, right, And I'm really pulling
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: for your son number fifteen to play well on Friday and.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Saturday, Saturday. Saturday game is Saturday, and I'll be in Cleveland,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: so he'll you know, we'll see, we'll see what happens.
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: Maybe you can FaceTime the wife and see it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: We'll see. We'll see if we can we can do
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: That'll be on a plane when when it goes up.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he's gonna he's gonna it's gonna be fun.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see how it goes. Yeah,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: you know those leagues that they have, everyone's got their cameraund,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: they got videos, so it'll be all right.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: And lastly, this whole justin Rogers thing and he kis good.
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: I mean, he's better than all of us on the street.
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: But if you can't make the fifty three, he can't
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: make fifty three. I don't think there's politics. So I
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: think the coaches say he's the better player, let's put
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: him on, right, right, I agree with you.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I appreciate it. I mean, I think
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I think the point. All right, Hopefully we don't have
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: other callers that are going to talk about this, because
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I really want to put this one to bed. All right,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: after this we could be done, because this is way
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: too much talk about a guy that's not on this
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: team or any team in the league. But like I said,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you get most of these draft picks make the team,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: seventh round pick. They figure out a way to keep
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Matt farnioc, Ben Denucci, Devin Harper, Jalen Brooks on the team.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: They keep him on the team, and in this case,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: they didn't. What does that say? I mean, what does
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: that really say? I don't know. All right, who's next here?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: We got David and fort Worth. David, what's up?
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: How you doing?
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Hey? Good?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: How are you man?
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 16:47
  Speaker 13: Brother? Hey?
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: I wanted to real quick talk about a guy who's
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: not on the team. Now, I'm just kidding on the
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: kids I wanted to talk about.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about Jacob Rogers, the tackle from
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago at USC that couldn't couldn't play left
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: side or right. I'll talk you about that guy, all right.
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: No, I wanted to talk about the offensive line. Of course,
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: we're excited about what these two young rookies can do.
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: But I remember calling after the forty to zero blowout
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: last season and saying, don't get too high on the defense,
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: don't get too low on the offense because it's the
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: first game, and I remember I got a little bit
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: pushback for that. But I want to say the same
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: thing about the offensive line. I don't know what they're
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: going to do, but I am going to assume that
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: they're going to have some struggles, that BB might have
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: some bad snaps, that guy might get beat. Like it's
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: a process, right, It's like they're not going to completely
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: gel and mesh one hundred percent on week one. So
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: I want to encourage the fans beforehand that if you
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: do see some of this stuff, not to panic.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: The offensive line is a unit and throughout time they're
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: going to get better. So I just wanted to point
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: that out, and then I had a question for you
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: and for everybody else, because somebody presented this to me
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: and I didn't. I thought it was stupid. At first,
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: I thought it was silly, But the more I thought
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: about it, the more it kind of like started to
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: make sense to me because I always said that if
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: Dallas gets to the NFC Championionship, I'm going to be
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: happy because it's progress. But this person presented something to
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: me basically saying, like it's so hard to get to
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: the super Bowl, that there's there's teams that make it
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: to the Championship and then never make it back. So
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: to them, they're basically saying it doesn't matter if they
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: make it to the NFC Championship, to the divisional round.
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: It doesn't matter at all. They just want a super
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: Bowl and they wouldn't even see NFC Championship as progress
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: as success, like that's a that's a happy thing for them.
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: I'm still kind of on the fence as far as
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: thinking that if if we make it to the nc Championship,
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: I'm going to be happy because it's progress. But what
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: do you and what do the other callers think about that?
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: I just wanted to throw that out there, last thing
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: debianon I'm playing him in Fantasy football this week, that
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: you're going down.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Baby.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: That's all I got, Nick, Thank you so much.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm glad we could use that that part
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: to do a little trash talk here on the air.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: That's cool. What what's it? I don't know. I don't know.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: How are you going to feel? I mean, like, like
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: this is you know, we're trying to talk about week
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: one here in a game in two two days against Cleveland,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and we're talking about hypothetical feelings on if you made
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: it to the NFC Championship game experience i've ever seen, uh,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: and then lost the game, and would you feel good
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: about it?
• 19:20
  Speaker 15: No?
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I mean probably not. You're probably not going to feel
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: good about losing in the NFC Championship game because there's
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: a player two or six that could have changed the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: game and you could have won, and you could have
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: gone to the super Bowl. So you're not gonna feel
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: really good about it, you know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: But but is it?
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Is it progress? I mean, I get yeah, it would
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: be it would be progress. But then again, I think
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I think, I mean, I know, we're getting too far
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: ahead of things, because you know, you have no idea
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: how this team is going to be, like like the
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the expectations, it might be way too high, like we
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: it really could be. It could This could be a
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: football team that has to scratch and claw their way
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: to every single win and nine and eight and ten
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: and seven is probably the best that they can do.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Like that, that could be the team. It could be
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the team. Will you know, see what injuries look like,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: see how this thing develops. But you know, like you said,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the offensive line struggles, how long does that take? Does
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: that take a long time to gel? It's not gonna
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: be an easy matchup right off the bat here in Cleveland,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: So we'll we'll see. I just I just think this hypothetically.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't I don't know how I'm
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: going to feel about situations like that, but I'll take
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: my chances. I'd like to try, you know, and see
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: how how it goes. But I have a feeling that
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: this team, like might be fun to watch because it's
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: gonna be different than last year. I don't I think
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: they're gonna have less blowouts, It's gonna be a lot
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: closer games, could be a fun ride as I always say,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: let's enjoy the ride and not worry about you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: are you going to be throwing up at the end

  Speaker 14: Yeah, I'd like to think so. All my passwords are
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: Cowboys something.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Well, that's cool. I'm sure, I'm sure that everybody wants
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: to like cowboys. What are you gonna just throw them
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: out there to us?
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: H Well, I'll tell you what. One of my passwords
• 23:20
  Speaker 14: was NFC Champs twenty twenty three.
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: That was wrong though, Just.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Change it to twenty four is change it to twenty five. Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: now that's cool. All right, Well, what else you got?
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: So?
• 23:33
  Speaker 14: First fifteen games are scripted, The first fifth team plays
• 23:36
  Speaker 14: of the game are scripted. Uh, who gets the most
• 23:40
  Speaker 14: touches in those first fifth team? I'm gonna safe Ferguson.
• 23:44
  Speaker 14: I want to see what you think.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, that's a good it's a good thought. I also,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I've never bought into that. I'm sorry. I actually think
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: that's I understand that you put the plays there, but
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I always think the first fifteen plays like, all right, well,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: what if the second one is a sixty three yard run,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: you know, down down to the seven yard line. I mean,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: so you're your your third play, which was a which
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: was a deep bomb, and that's that's off the table,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: you know what. I just kind of think the game changes.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I could see three plays scripted, I could see your
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: first series fifteen plays. I think that's I don't know
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: if that's that's kind of the way anymore. But your
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: question is they they kind of know what they want
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: to do to start the game, they start this season,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: they know how they want to attack the Browns. I
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: think that's that's what we're saying not to be petty here,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: and so yeah, I mean Ferguson, that that sounds good.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I just I don't I don't know yet if we've
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: seen Ferguson or really a tied end here. I mean
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: since since Witten where that's that's what they're doing. They're
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: getting the ball to him, and usually he's a product
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: of what else is is what the defense is doing.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: So I could see Ferguson getting the ball a lot.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I could see Cooks getting the ball a lot as well.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: He had a really good training camp working with with
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Dak And I think you're going to see a big
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: season out of Brandon Cooks for sure. So uh, you
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: say Ferguson, I say Cooks. But that's that's still like
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: where you're thinking there. All right, Dylan is in Northport, Florida. Dylan,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: what's up?
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: He's got good?
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: I'm good, I'm good. I wanted to give you a
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: prediction for this game, but before I do that, I
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: wanted to talk about I think it was Gary from
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: New Mexico estudary. He was the first caller. He talked
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: about like the NFL playoffs, luck versus skill and all that,
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: and it's something I'm really passionate about, and I could
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: talk a very long time about that in my philosophy
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: on that, but I just want to give you a
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: couple of bullet points on this. I don't torch everybody
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: with my long, long winded speech. You know, it's important
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: to sign Dak to an extension because of this. This
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: point here is the NFL playoffs are just different from
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: other leaves. You don't have a series. It's one game, right,
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: So that creates like it's like a flaw in the system.
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: The best team doesn't always win. It's just the best
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: team that day. You know, you might have a ten
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: percent chance of winning if you play a team ten times,
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: and you might.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Come out on top.
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: That one game doesn't mean you were the better team overall.
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: It just means that that day you were the better team.
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: And I think the Cowboys have kind of been on
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: the short end of the stick a lot of times,
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: you know. Seven, I don't think the Giants were better
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: than them. I don't think that was the case in fourteen, sixteen,
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: twenty twenty three. Just think for whatever reason, there was
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: a weird blend of just self inflicted wounds the other
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: team showed up that day a little bit more, maybe
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: bad luck. All that stuff is combined. But I say
• 26:37
  Speaker 10: always to say that you have to stay competitive, and
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: the trick to winning a Super Bowl is just keep
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: getting back into the playoffs like a Drew Brees did,
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: like a Brett Favre did, like Aaron Rodgers did. All
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: those guys just stayed competitive their whole career. That's what
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: the Cowboys got to do. They got to extend back
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: to stay competitive, both financially because it helps them maneuver
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: the cap better if they extend him, and on the
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: field as well. So that's kind of my thought thought.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: What about McCarthy, because those teams you talked about that
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: they have continuity, their coach stayed the same as well.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, are you the same, are you you feel
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: the same about McCarthy, You feel the same about keeping
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: keeping this thing, staying competitive? You know, it's obviously been
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: good enough to make it to the playoffs, because that's
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: a big question mark too, you know. And and then
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: also Will McLay and I mean, there's a lot of
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: continuity things that they have to kind of stay in
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: place here, so keeping the quarterback could be one of them.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: But if you're changing your coach and your coaching staff,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: and your coordinators and your scouting director. Then you know
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: that it's going to be hard to keep that continuity,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, well, I.
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: Think keeping Will is a no brainer, right, I mean,
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: he's I think he's kind of the heart and soul
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: of the front office. As far as how well is
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: drafted and all that, he's he's great. They got to
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: keep him. I guess this is a matter of probably
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: if he wants to stay or not, or if he
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: wants to proceed with an opportunity elsewhere.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: I would think.
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: So, I know he's got a close relationship with the
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: Joneses and McCarthy. If he performs this as well as
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: he's performed his first three years, I mean, he had
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: dak As an MVP in it last year, nearly won
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: the whole thing in the first year new offense. So
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: I think you got to keep McCarthy too, unless this
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: thing just goes off the rails, which I don't see happening.
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: All right, Well, yeah, yeah, real quick, my prediction, I'm
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: not going to call them mar I'll be on a
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: cruise all next week, so I won't call it next week.
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: By my prediction for this week, it'll be Cowboys twenty
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: seven Brown seventeen. And I think Guyton handles Garrett just fine.
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: I think Garrett might be a bigger issue on the
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: other side when he rotates around just a handful the
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: players over over Terrence Steele. That's my bull prediction for
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: this week.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: All right, it's a good one, twenty seven seventeen. We'll
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: see how that seems.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: For me.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: That seems a little high scoring. I just have this
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I have this feeling it's going to be a low
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: scoring game, but who knows. Usually when that happens, it's
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: forty five, forty two and the heading into the fourth.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: But this this particular game, I just see it kind
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: of being a dog fight, if you will, there in Cleveland.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: But I definitely think it's going to be that type game.
• 29:00

• 30:46
  Speaker 5: My god? Nick the quick?
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: What's up are you doing?
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Man? Just come on mans me baby, your all ways
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: a ready manby. I just came up with some predictions
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: my season. You're in season prediction which will be eleven
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: five and one, because you know me and Nate du
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: the ties, so that's our love thing, eleven five and one.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: I feel the low scoring. I heard you say that
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: low scoring. I'm low scoring two because it's either gonna
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: be a high scoring ugly game or a low scoring
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: ugly game. So I'm going with a crazy number like
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: twenty two Cowboys twenty two, nineteen odd number like that nineteen.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: So I'm feeling something like that. You know, Nick, you
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: know God, I support your stuff and Cowboys media. Man,
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: y'all get it again man, what's up with the man?
• 31:39
  Speaker 13: Y'all y'all?
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: What's up? May y'all get it again with the star? Man?
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: What's up?
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Great?
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: Man? That was great? Dude, y'all y'all yet what man?
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: The Star was good? Because the thing about the star
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: and then I'll hang up once I say this, it
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: was something I heard doing that because the content was great.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Everybody did another great job always watching those can't wait
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: till they come out. But me and my twenties and thirties,
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: being such a diehard cowboy, there was two things I've
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: always done. I've done the Rick flet Wool, my favorite wrestler.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: I was always known for that town of Miami. No
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: matter where I go, I do the wool and all that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: But there was something in the Star that I heard,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: and I'm gonna end on that. If you allow me
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: to have twenty seconds to sing you a live, I'm
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: gonna start saying it. I'm gonna sing it after every win,
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: well before every wind. These for all the cowboys opponents.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: These for the old timers like Brian. I think you
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: can to see by the old timer Joe, you know
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: people like that, the guy from North Carolina to d West.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: I like his content. He seems like an old timer.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Talked about a lot of old time staff. Turn off
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: the line. The party's over. They say that all good
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: things must stand.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Talk to you next time, Anthony. Yeah, Jonathan in Phillipson,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: California is next. It's going straight to Jonathan Hell, what's up, Jonathan?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: You're up? Hey, Nick, good morning.
• 33:14
  Speaker 16: I'm happy to talk to you today. I just wanted
• 33:18
  Speaker 16: to say that me and my dad were flying into Cleveland.
• 33:22
  Speaker 16: So watch the game. And you probably don't remember from
• 33:26
  Speaker 16: last time we talked last season that I'm cursed. I
• 33:30
  Speaker 16: every single Cowboys.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Game I've gone too, they've lost, and I was.
• 33:35
  Speaker 16: Wondering what you're confidence that I break my curse for
• 33:38
  Speaker 16: this game and we finally win. I finally get to
• 33:42
  Speaker 16: witness a victory in person.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I told you to go to Carolina, Like, like, what
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: why you go to Cleveland? Go to Carolina. That's that's
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: gonna be a win.
• 33:52
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I got family in Cleveland.
• 33:54
  Speaker 16: I want to check say hi.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: And yeah, all right, Well, you know what, it's not you.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: It's just coincidence. I think night Times is a lot though,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: but I still don't think that it's you. Hopefully you
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: break the curse. What jersey or what? What are you
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: going to be wearing for this game?
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: What's your I have a couple of options.
• 34:19
  Speaker 16: I've a Romo jersey, and I always bring a Romo
• 34:22
  Speaker 16: jersey the case I'm gonna be broadcasting the game. But
• 34:28
  Speaker 16: what's it called that mindseck my decision, and then if
• 34:31
  Speaker 16: Dak gets a deal before Sunday, maybe rock at Dack Jersey.
• 34:35
  Speaker 16: And then I also have a does Brian Jersey usually bring?
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: So how many games in a row have you seen
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: them lose?
• 34:45
  Speaker 16: It's either eight or nine? I forget, well figure it
• 34:49
  Speaker 16: out the preseason games.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Figure it out, because if it's nine, I say, you
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: wear the Romo jersey because if that's where they that's
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: where the streak ends. The streak would end at nine.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: All right, I like it, all right, sounds good. All right, Jonathan,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: have a good one.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: Thanks Diggy too.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go. Sorry. I didn't have a response
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: to Anthony before on the singing. I just he caught
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: me by surprise. I really didn't know half the stuff
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: he was saying. He's so jacked up and ready to
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: go for the season, which is which is awesome. But
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I to be honest, I didn't really I didn't catch
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: half of the car.
• 35:29
  Speaker 12: And by the way, Nick Romo is not doing the game.
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: It is Tom Brady.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't say Romo was doing.
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: No.
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: He said if Romo does the game more than nine Jersey.
• 35:37
  Speaker 12: But I need to see that.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, No, No, not Romo not doing
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: the game. That's not what I meant. Yeah, definitely Tom
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Brady doing the game. I just meant, if the streak's
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: at nine, let's wear the nine. Let's keep it at
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: nine and start a new streak of a winning streak.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: That's what I meant to say.
• 35:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Romo, you're good. No, but no, he said he
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: did that. If Romo is doing the game, I were
• 35:58
  Speaker 12: the nine jersey.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: That call came in a little hot too, like I
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: couldn't hear a lot of that as well. All right,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: that's pretty cool though, that these going to to Cleveland
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: for the game. I was wondering of any of our
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: callers will be headed there. Uh, Cleveland, Ohio, Like the
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: state of Ohio is not one that we get a
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: ton of calls. Yeah it's not. I mean it's not
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Oregon or or Vermont, New Hampshire, Delaware got one yesterday
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: from Delaware. All right, let's go. How about New Mexico
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: events in Albuquerque, New Mexico Events.
• 36:29
  Speaker 17: Hey, what's going on, buddy?
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: Good?
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 36:33
  Speaker 17: I want to talk about the game, not everything out okay, cool?
• 36:37
  Speaker 17: The thing I want to what I'm gonna look for
• 36:39
  Speaker 17: is the rookies play on the offensive line and the
• 36:43
  Speaker 17: young cornerback. I want to keep eye on those guys
• 36:46
  Speaker 17: to see what see what they're doing, and what we're
• 36:50
  Speaker 17: going to expect for the rest of the seasons from
• 36:51
  Speaker 17: these guys. I have high hopes and I think I'm
• 36:55
  Speaker 17: like you, a little scoring game, it's gonna be a
• 36:58
  Speaker 17: nail bider. So that's all I gotta say. And one
• 37:01
  Speaker 17: more thing is, uh, keep big Mike. He's a good coach.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep. He has been a good coach for sure.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: And uh, it's a it's a unique situation, of course,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: you know, think about just how it is in Dallas.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: You know, the expectations are different obviously, just because you know,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: in most teams that are sitting there and they've won,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: you know, in twelve games in a row for three
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: straight years. I mean, that's that's that puts them on
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: solid ground. And it's just not the same here. And
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: we we know that, and and and he knows that,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: and I thought he had. Mike had a good answer
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: when he was asked about contract and does he talk
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: about it, and he says, he he said, you know,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: I I demand the players to be focused on the games,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: to be focused on winning, to focus on what the
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: task at hand is. That's what I demand from them,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: he said, So why could I come up If I
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: come up here and start talking about my contract, talk
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: about something that doesn't involve win, that would be hypocritical
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: of me to do that. I can't ask them to
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: do the same. And then me over here talking about
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: contracts in my own situation has nothing to do with
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: winning the game on Sunday. And and he's right, you know,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: and that's that's where that's where the focus is. I
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: thought that was a good answer, uh for him. And
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: and and to your question or to your comment about
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: what you're watching, I think we're all gonna be watching that.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Those three rookies, Uh, those guys, see how how they play.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Not the only rookies out there, you know. I mean
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Maris Leafl is actually considered a rookie on the Cowboys
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: unofficial depth chart.
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think he lines up with the starters all
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: the time, but that's where they've got him. He's going
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: to play, there's no doubt about it. So you can
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: throw him in the mix. But as far as Kayln
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Carson at cornerback. We know he'll be tested. You know,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Tyler Guiden is going to be tested, and and BB
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: there at center will be also. But let's let's not
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: forget the second round pick. He gets jumped a lot
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Marshaun Neeland. A game like this against Cleveland, they're gonna
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: run the football, They're gonna it's gonna be tough, it's
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: gonna be in the trenches. Needland's gonna be asked to
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: you know, he's he's in there to to stop the
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: run and maybe provide a little bit of pass rush
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: from the inside. You might see a little wrinkle there
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: with him playing in rushing on third and long situations
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: from the tackle position, but either way, these are the
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: games you know where he played in college and he
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: played in the MAC and you know that they're they're tough,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: grinded out games. This is this game's kind of suited
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: for him. So we do skip him a lot because
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: he's not starting first third round pick. We jump over
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: and we talk about maryslea foul a lot too, But
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: let's not forget Marshawn neland they really love what he's
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: done at camp and he's he's going to be factored
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: into this game as well. All right, we're going to
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Curtis in Oklahoma.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, good morning.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: How are you.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: I'm doing excellent?
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: How are you good?
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: That's awesome. Yeah, I heard you just talking about the
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: three rookies. And you know, I wish that I could
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: kind of like when I watched the show. It's in
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: the Cowboys app, and every time that I exit the
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: app to like call in or you know, answer messages
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: or something, there's not a picture and picture like with
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: YouTube or something. So I really wish that the video
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: would keep playing when I exited the app. And I
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: know you handle all the technical stuff, so I figured
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: out would just bring that here.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's the back of the shirt says tech support.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah it does. That's that's always been me. Any IT
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: problems right here? Yeah, on it? Yeah yeah, no, I
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: know where the on off button is. I know how
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: to plug it in over here. It's about it. Yeah.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Right? That's that's pretty much that and control all delete
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: all together. Remember that's how old that I am on that.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: So no, sorry, I mean, but we can we can
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: get the right people involved for that that's a that's
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: an app question as well.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I just uh, I just didn't want to,
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: you know, go over the same stuff too much. But
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: I'm a little nervous about our rookie offensive line positions.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: The evidence and the history would say, you know that
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: we draft really well and people come in and second year,
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: you know, pro bowlers and Pro bowlers for seven, eight,
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: nine years. But I still just I look at other
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: teams and that that just doesn't happen often. So I'm
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: still a little nervous about that.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: I'm very interested to see how our defense looks. I've
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: heard that Zimmer plays more of his zone, and if
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: I recall correctly, we played a lot of man last year,
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: and so I'm interested to see what the defense looks like.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: I know we've bolked up on the line, and I'm
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: hoping that that clogs up some lanes let some linebackers go.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: You got Bell moving to safety and was super bummed
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: out that we don't get to see the bland and digs,
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: like I'm sure people have said before. But I've heard
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: a lot of good things about Carson and that's another
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: instance where the history says, Okay, you drafted Diggs, You
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: drafted Bland and you're doing excellent there. I mean, is
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: it really possible you could get another guy who's not
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: even played an NFL game and already has a nickname
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: seat Belt. So a little nervous about some of that,
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: but it's also really exciting. And so I was wondering
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: if you could say anything about the defensive scheme and
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: how it might be different in what we can expect.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that Thanks for the call, Curtis. I
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: think your linebackers are much different with with this scheme.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: They the focus is to kind of step up more
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: stop the run. I think they're they're worried more about
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: first and second down than how the linebacker. When I
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: say that, not worried more. I think the team is
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: built for first and second down as opposed to last
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: year's teams with dan Quinn, seem like they're built a
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: little bit more for third and eight, third and nine.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: They're both very important. There's there's no doubt about that.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: It's just kind of how you get there and and
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: and what I say by that is, I think you
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: look at the linebackers. You know, dan Quinn loves linebackers
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: that that can can man up on the on the
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: tight end and and kind of win that mismatch and
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: be you know, basically glorified safeties type thing. Now, getting
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: to third and nine is a problem sometimes when the
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: guards get to you and push you off the ball
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: and you never really get to third and long because
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: you're not stopping the run. I think Zimmer's defense looks
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: more at like getting getting there, getting them to a
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: third down situation, which I think works when you have
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: guys like Micah Parsons there rushing the passer. So, uh,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: the focus is is linebackers. Maybe not as quick as fast,
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: but they can tackle, they can hit, they step up,
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: they fill the gaps, and they make plays that way.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: That's what I think the biggest differences.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: There and and ask for your corners and and and
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: cover guys if they play in zone, I like that
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: too because they are ballhawks. They're guys that can go
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: catch the football. So as long as the guys up
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: front are getting to the quarterback quick, then then you know,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: I like the zone because their eyes are looking at
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: the at the quarterback. So there's you know, but but
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: with any good defense, it's never the same thing. It's
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: never we play zone or we play man, it's a
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: it's a mix, it's a combination. You can change it
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: up in the middle of the series, middle of a
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: play that kind of stuff. All right, Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Lewis is next, Lewis Ei there, Yeah, I'm yeah, I
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: can hear you, man. What's up?
• 44:42
  Speaker 11: Not much, man, it's a rent race trying to get
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: in here now, especially fince the season they started.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Yep, a lot of we're busy, We're busy, uh with
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: with the phone lines, for sure, I go hold you
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: too long.
• 44:57
  Speaker 11: I just was I had two things. I'll take off
• 45:00
  Speaker 11: off fear as usual. But with looking at the depth chart,
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: they had Hunter Lipett as a running back and not
• 45:07
  Speaker 11: a fullback.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: So where do we see the touches for du Von?
• 45:12
  Speaker 11: And maybe you know, I mean, I guess he was
• 45:15
  Speaker 11: number four, right, I'm pretty sure he was four. And
• 45:17
  Speaker 11: so where do we see the touches for duce Von?
• 45:19
  Speaker 11: And what do we think like a good amount of
• 45:22
  Speaker 11: numbers for him would be. And then my next question
• 45:25
  Speaker 11: would be when it comes to linebacker, they had marriage
• 45:29
  Speaker 11: Luis Foule over overshown and I know they'll probably be
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: you know, running in and out all over the place.
• 45:34
  Speaker 11: But is this more of an indictment of him not
• 45:37
  Speaker 11: being able to practice for the last couple of weeks,
• 45:39
  Speaker 11: or is it more Luis File might be able to
• 45:42
  Speaker 11: do a little more than over shown.
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: Oh waen, I forgot he.
• 45:46
  Speaker 11: Was hurt, So maybe instead of trying to wrap him up.
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: Not really sure, but I just kind of looking at
• 45:50
  Speaker 11: the depth chart and thought maybe that might be a
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: little change there.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in that.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think that Mike McCarthy or whoever is calling
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: the PR department and be like, oh, here's here's the
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: depth chart. Here it is, here it is. It's probably
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: one of those things like I have to do this,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: like all right, here you go whatever. I don't. I
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: don't think it's it's that big a deal to them
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: because because they they're going to play things. Remember they
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: play things out of scheme, out of different packages. Leaf
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Al hasn't been starting, he's they put him there in
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: week one of the preseason and that really hasn't been
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: the case, but they didn't change it. As for Lipkey,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: he's going to be doing fullback type of things. I
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: don't think you'll see him running the ball a whole
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: lot ask for reduced bon touches. He'll probably get some
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: some touches that kick return if they can get them
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: to the game. They they may not, they may not
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: feel like they can do that. It's one thing to
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: be on the roster, it's another thing to get to
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: With the forty six man roster, and especially if they're
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: going to move up a running back, they've got Malik
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Davis and Alvin Cook the on the practice squad that
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: they could elevate to game day. And definitely, from Leik
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Davis's standpoint, probably gives you more for special teams, So
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: don't be surprised if that happens. And maybe deuced isn't
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: even active, so there's a lot, there's a lot happening there.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't get too caught up in how the depth
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: chart looks right now. All right, all right, that will
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: be the last call of the day. You guys did great,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: thirteen callers. That's outstanding once again. Oklahoma. A lot of
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: good love for the cowboys in Oklahoma, California, Texas of
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: course New Mexico with a couple today as well. All right,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: good stuff, Remember cowboys break is coming up next. We
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: will be here tomorrow to answer your calls and your
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: text messages and to make a little bit more predictions
