- 0:38Speaker 4: still on that one. That's fine. The fact that the
- 0:40Speaker 4: Giants and the Cardinals have played. Maybe people watch that
- 0:43Speaker 4: game and I know it was playing about the same
- 0:45Speaker 4: time as the Cowboys. But you know, nowadays you can
- 0:49Speaker 4: look at all that stuff online and see what the
- 0:51Speaker 4: Cowboys might be facing this week. We can talk about injuries,

- 1:06Speaker 4: nine seven. The text line has always open eight one
- 1:08Speaker 4: seven two nine zero three two nine eight. Jerry Jones
- 1:13Speaker 4: was on the radio this morning on one O five
- 1:15Speaker 4: to three the fan here in Dallas, talking about a
- 1:17Speaker 4: lot of things. He mentioned some injuries, uh, and he
- 1:21Speaker 4: feels really good about some of the guys having a
- 1:23Speaker 4: chance to come back this week, including Tyler Smith. That
- 1:27Speaker 4: would certainly help the Cowboys there at left guard. Looks
- 1:30Speaker 4: like Zach Martin is going to be okay. I had
- 1:32Speaker 4: an ankle injury. He'll be should be able to play
- 1:35Speaker 4: in this game. So if that happens, then I mean
- 1:37Speaker 4: the Cowboys could be at full strength for the first
- 1:39Speaker 4: time this year on the offensive line other injuries. Brandon
- 1:43Speaker 4: Cooks I think has it has a chance to play
- 1:46Speaker 4: in this game. Same with Donovan Wilson. So if you
- 1:49Speaker 4: can get all your guys back for this game, facing
- 1:52Speaker 4: a Cardinal team that's that's struggling, they're they're they're competitive,
- 1:55Speaker 4: They've they've had chances to win, uh and help out
- 1:58Speaker 4: the Cowboys in and the Eagles, I guess for the
- 2:01Speaker 4: in the NFC, they've lost to Washington and lost to
- 2:03Speaker 4: the Giants. Close games always weird things always happen there
- 2:07Speaker 4: in Arizona when the Cowboys faced them, so all right,
- 2:09Speaker 4: let's go to the phone lines. I'll let's start it
- 2:11Speaker 4: off like we always started off. It seems like Joe
- 2:14Speaker 4: and Stanford, Joe, what is up.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Hey morning, brothers.
- 2:17Speaker 4: Good to talk to you, you too.
- 2:20Speaker 5: Well, a couple of things. One thing after I listened yesterday, well,
- 2:25Speaker 5: I forgot to mention this, and I thought, well, somebody
- 2:27Speaker 5: will mention it. Man, our kicker is killing it.
- 2:31Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Brandon Aubrey, he sure is. He's been really good.
- 2:38Speaker 4: What's your uh, what's your comfort level on that? On
- 2:42Speaker 4: from one to one hundred, what would be.
- 2:44Speaker 5: Your meter of Ah, well, let's say seventy nine.
- 2:49Speaker 4: Seventy nine cool?
- 2:50Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, I mean, I mean he looks good. You know,
- 2:53Speaker 5: he rushed that first kick, and then ever since then
- 2:57Speaker 5: he's it seems like he's been in rhythm. And honestly,
- 3:00Speaker 5: like you said yesterday, that fifty five yarder, I wasn't
- 3:03Speaker 5: crazy about that. I was like, okay, let's just punt,
- 3:05Speaker 5: you know, That's sort of the way I felt about it.
- 3:07Speaker 5: Soon but then he nailed it and I was like, well, okay,
- 3:10Speaker 5: I no, you.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Know, I I'm with you on that one. I definitely
- 3:15Speaker 4: wouldn't have done that, And mainly because we haven't seen
- 3:18Speaker 4: him make that kick before, at least not in the
- 3:21Speaker 4: regular season. But you know, now now that he's made it,
- 3:24Speaker 4: you feel a little bit better about it. But I'm
- 3:26Speaker 4: still not crazy about that. And at that time in
- 3:28Speaker 4: the game and where the do you have the defense
- 3:30Speaker 4: is playing, I would have been I would have been
- 3:33Speaker 4: fine not doing that. But hey, I mean everything McCarthy,
- 3:36Speaker 4: all the buttons he pushed from the opening kickoff and
- 3:39Speaker 4: all that just seemed to kind of work. So it's
- 3:42Speaker 4: not always going to work. It's not always going to work,
- 3:44Speaker 4: but I think you've got to remember the times that
- 3:46Speaker 4: it does, and so therefore, you know, when criticism flies
- 3:49Speaker 4: out and it flies around, at least he kind of
- 3:51Speaker 4: can put it all in perspective.
- 3:53Speaker 5: Yeah, speaking of McCarthy, there's a specific play that was
- 3:57Speaker 5: designed that he did in the third quarter. I haven't
- 4:00Speaker 5: seen exactly that way.
- 4:02Speaker 6: It was like it was like a swing yep.
- 4:07Speaker 4: I never seen that. There was I've never seen that either.
- 4:10Speaker 4: You're talking about when lifts out in the flat and
- 4:13Speaker 4: then I think I threw it too. Was it Pollard
- 4:15Speaker 4: or was it Rico?
- 4:16Speaker 7: It was.
- 4:18Speaker 5: Like a swing screen.
- 4:19Speaker 4: I've never seen that.
- 4:21Speaker 5: I've never seen that was cool.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I was the same way, and I was like you.
- 4:26Speaker 4: In the press box, I was like, you know, I
- 4:29Speaker 4: sit next to Todd Archer from ESPN and UH and
- 4:31Speaker 4: Derek Eagleton, and I was kind of like, did you
- 4:33Speaker 4: see that? Do you see that? And everybody's you know,
- 4:35Speaker 4: in that third quarter working on tweets and all that stuff,
- 4:38Speaker 4: and Derek charts every play, and I was just like,
- 4:41Speaker 4: anyone else see that? So Joe, thank you for seeing that.
- 4:44Speaker 4: I know other people saw it, but I just thought
- 4:46Speaker 4: it was so unique too. I'm I'm with you, so great,
- 4:49Speaker 4: great call, Thanks Joe. Brendon Aubrey. Yeah, he's been he's
- 4:53Speaker 4: been outstanding. And I found something out. I'm not sure.
- 4:57Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say it. It's not a big deal.
- 4:59Speaker 4: It's been too weeks. So I was told because the
- 5:02Speaker 4: one the one thing that's kind of making people a
- 5:05Speaker 4: little bit a little iffy on Aubury, other than the
- 5:08Speaker 4: fact that he's a rookie and he hasn't really done it,
- 5:10Speaker 4: is of course, he did have a really bad extra
- 5:12Speaker 4: point kick in New York. I found out that he
- 5:17Speaker 4: didn't kick a caball on that play. It was supposed
- 5:22Speaker 4: to be you know, all you're supposed to kick. They
- 5:24Speaker 4: have the caball that. You know, they scuff them up
- 5:26Speaker 4: for an hour and you know, and and and get them,
- 5:29Speaker 4: get them nice and right to punt and kick and
- 5:31Speaker 4: all that. And if it didn't matter, they wouldn't do
- 5:33Speaker 4: it because it was an interception or fumble return by Igbinogahny,
- 5:40Speaker 4: which that was a keball. They just rushed out and
- 5:43Speaker 4: threw another ball out there, and he kicked that wet
- 5:46Speaker 4: in the rain, regular football, hard as a rock. That's
- 5:49Speaker 4: why it looks so bad, no excuses. You should be
- 5:52Speaker 4: able to make it. But again, they wouldn't do it
- 5:54Speaker 4: if they didn't if if it didn't matter. So I
- 5:57Speaker 4: don't know if he gets a little bit of a
- 5:59Speaker 4: pass for that. But when I found that out, I
- 6:01Speaker 4: was like, oh, all right, well I feel a little
- 6:03Speaker 4: bit better about that. All right, Kurt in Arkansas the
- 6:06Speaker 4: next caller, Good, how are you?
- 6:11Speaker 8: I'm great, Still a human down here, but I'm good.
- 6:14Speaker 8: I think everybody needs to relax about the red red
- 6:18Speaker 8: zone offense. Yeah, I think it's going to be fine.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. It's been two games. It's you know,
- 6:25Speaker 4: one game, one game that it wasn't fine and one
- 6:28Speaker 4: game that it was so, I mean, yeah, And.
- 6:32Speaker 8: I was wondering if you think Tyler Smith will be
- 6:35Speaker 8: back this week.
- 6:37Speaker 4: I do. I do think he'll be back. I think
- 6:40Speaker 4: he has a really good chance to play. He was,
- 6:42Speaker 4: you know, he's been doubtful for two games and then
- 6:46Speaker 4: now you know, it should trend this way, especially with
- 6:48Speaker 4: with the hamstring. You know, he's he's able to move
- 6:51Speaker 4: around a little bit. I'd like to see on Wednesday.
- 6:55Speaker 4: We'll like to see in practice. Actually that's what I
- 6:57Speaker 4: would like to see. But if he's not practicing yet
- 7:01Speaker 4: on Wednesday, I want to see him running with the
- 7:03Speaker 4: cords behind, you know, with the trainers, you know it.
- 7:06Speaker 4: When he can do that, then then he's close and
- 7:08Speaker 4: he might be doing it now. We just don't really
- 7:10Speaker 4: see that. I would think he's probably trending in that direction.
- 7:14Speaker 4: And everybody that's talked yesterday, uh, Mike McCarthy, Stephen Jones,
- 7:18Speaker 4: Jerry Jones, they all have very optimistic thoughts about Tyler
- 7:22Speaker 4: Smith playing. All right, let's go to a text question
- 7:25Speaker 4: from Mike. He's in Boston, said, any situation where you
- 7:28Speaker 4: can see the Cowboys holding Tyler Smith out until the
- 7:31Speaker 4: forty nine ers game just to be saved, or they
- 7:33Speaker 4: get them in a game before to get some work. No,
- 7:39Speaker 4: I don't think they hold him out for that. He
- 7:40Speaker 4: needs to play. I mean that that this this is
- 7:42Speaker 4: especially if an offensive lineman. Offensive linemen need to play.
- 7:46Speaker 4: You don't hold anybody out for for anything. And you
- 7:48Speaker 4: got to win the division. I mean you, you've you've
- 7:50Speaker 4: got to You got to do the things you got
- 7:52Speaker 4: to do. You gotta beat you gotta beat these teams.
- 7:55Speaker 4: You know, yesterday last caller UH called in and talked
- 7:59Speaker 4: about the forty nine ers game, and I kind of,
- 8:01Speaker 4: you know, made a joke about him pole vaulting and
- 8:03Speaker 4: skipping these two games and all that.
- 8:06Speaker 9: You know.
- 8:07Speaker 4: I get it though, and and and Mike from Boston's
- 8:10Speaker 4: doing the same thing. I get it. This team knocks
- 8:13Speaker 4: you out of the playoffs two years in a row,
- 8:15Speaker 4: and we want to see how good this team is.
- 8:19Speaker 4: And I don't think people feel like you're gonna find
- 8:21Speaker 4: out against Arizona unless they played poorly. Then then that
- 8:25Speaker 4: would you know, then they'd be like, well maybe they're
- 8:27Speaker 4: not that good. But you're not going to really find
- 8:30Speaker 4: some things out about this team until you face someone
- 8:33Speaker 4: that you know is good and that's the forty nine
- 8:35Speaker 4: ers coming up, So I understand. I understand it probably
- 8:38Speaker 4: went a little too hard on the guy yesterday, but
- 8:41Speaker 4: you know, so it's easy to look forward and fans
- 8:44Speaker 4: don't have to be focused like the players do. Players
- 8:47Speaker 4: need to be focused. But but I'm just trying to
- 8:50Speaker 4: point out that when a lot of people keep talking
- 8:52Speaker 4: about a game that's looming, then everybody hears it, everyone
- 8:57Speaker 4: sees it, and you can't blame the coaches in play
- 9:02Speaker 4: if they're not, you know, thinking and focused on one
- 9:04Speaker 4: hundred percent on what they need to do too, So
- 9:05Speaker 4: it kind of goes both ways. I don't think you
- 9:08Speaker 4: hold anybody out until that game. Offensive lineman need to
- 9:11Speaker 4: work together, all right. Curtis in Oklahoma?
- 9:15Speaker 10: What's up?
- 9:16Speaker 11: Curtis, Hey, thanks for letting me call in. I appreciate it.
- 9:19Speaker 11: Just a few things that I wanted to comment on,
- 9:22Speaker 11: the first one being I'm just so impressed with Mike
- 9:26Speaker 11: McCarthy's play calling and personnel. One play I wanted to
- 9:29Speaker 11: point out in particular, Deuce Vaughn was in and he
- 9:32Speaker 11: like motioned to the right and then swung them back
- 9:34Speaker 11: around to the left right, and Dak got the ball
- 9:37Speaker 11: and like shoulder shimmy to the screenplay, and it drew
- 9:41Speaker 11: the defense up and boom he hit Ceedee Lamb for
- 9:44Speaker 11: like a twenty yard game. It just completely fooled them
- 9:47Speaker 11: and it was amazing good use of personnel. The second
- 9:50Speaker 11: thing I wanted to say was, you know, I'm not
- 9:52Speaker 11: too worried about the red zone stuff. I mean, you
- 9:54Speaker 11: got fifteen points, the rookie got some great need to
- 9:57Speaker 11: work two touchdowns. That's only fourteen so I mean, you know,
- 10:01Speaker 11: I'll take it, uh, you know, driving the ball to
- 10:04Speaker 11: that part of the field. And then the last thing
- 10:06Speaker 11: that I'll say is, man, I'm just there's a there's
- 10:10Speaker 11: a saying that they've been using. It's like a French
- 10:12Speaker 11: thing like car carve Omni. I'm know I'm butchering it.
- 10:15Speaker 11: I'm sorry, but Dak had said it a lot. And man,
- 10:19Speaker 11: just like there's no more Aaron Rodgers, there's no more
- 10:22Speaker 11: Tom Brady, you know, I kind of see it as
- 10:25Speaker 11: like Patrick Mahomes, I'll give Jalen Hurst the nod, and
- 10:28Speaker 11: then Dak Prescott in that elite quarterback level, and he
- 10:32Speaker 11: just really had a chance to go seize the league
- 10:35Speaker 11: right now and I kind of wanted to get your
- 10:37Speaker 11: thoughts on that, so I appreciate it. I'll hang up
- 10:40Speaker 11: and listen to the rest of the show.
- 10:41Speaker 4: All right, thank you for the call. A lot of
- 10:45Speaker 4: a lot of love for McCarthy, I mean, and and
- 10:47Speaker 4: and that's good. We talked about it a lot yesterday.
- 10:50Speaker 4: His his phrase for the season is, uh, carpe omnium
- 10:55Speaker 4: didn't really butcher it that much. Carpe omnium seething, And
- 11:02Speaker 4: you know that's that's what you know. Maybe he calls
- 11:05Speaker 4: the game that way too. It's it's kind of interesting
- 11:10Speaker 4: though when you think about it, because he's getting kind
- 11:12Speaker 4: of I wouldn't say criticized, but there's some some skeptics
- 11:15Speaker 4: out there about the way he's calling in the game.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Is he being too safe? Too conservative? Down the road?
- 11:21Speaker 4: Will it come back to bis you? Will he change?
- 11:23Speaker 4: You know that that's the big question. And and you
- 11:27Speaker 4: can look at that, you know what sees everything? What
- 11:29Speaker 4: does that mean?
- 11:30Speaker 10: You know?
- 11:31Speaker 4: Is that does that mean you're gonna go for everything
- 11:33Speaker 4: and to go for all the points, get the most
- 11:34Speaker 4: points you can possibly get, so then you'd be an attack, attack, attack,
- 11:37Speaker 4: and forget the field goals. Or do you say I'm
- 11:41Speaker 4: gonna take exactly what what they're giving me. I'm gonna
- 11:43Speaker 4: just take the points all the time, which is what
- 11:46Speaker 4: he's done right now. I think. I think guys know
- 11:48Speaker 4: how to adapt within the game. There's a game in
- 11:51Speaker 4: front of you, and you coach it. This week, it's
- 11:53Speaker 4: this way, next week it's it will be another. And
- 11:56Speaker 4: so that's what I think he's doing right now, and
- 11:59Speaker 4: I think he's doing a good job with that. I
- 12:03Speaker 4: never really said this on the air before, but it's
- 12:06Speaker 4: starting to get to that point. Like and I get it.
- 12:09Speaker 4: Lists are fun. We do a show, we do a story,
- 12:12Speaker 4: you know, rank them when we're at top ten and
- 12:14Speaker 4: all that. I just I don't really care about the
- 12:18Speaker 4: quarterback rankings. I hear it every day. I hear it
- 12:21Speaker 4: on the radio every day. You guys talk about it,
- 12:24Speaker 4: and it because it's just at the end of the day,
- 12:26Speaker 4: it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't It doesn't mean what
- 12:30Speaker 4: someone's opinion of where Dak is in relation to Kirk
- 12:36Speaker 4: Cousins or anyone else. It just it doesn't matter. You
- 12:40Speaker 4: got to win the game. I mean, back ten twelve
- 12:43Speaker 4: years ago, did it matter where Roethlisberger was ranked or
- 12:46Speaker 4: where Eli was ranked. I mean, they won some super Bowls.
- 12:49Speaker 4: I mean, Romo was always kind of in that Fox,
- 12:52Speaker 4: you know, six to ten range with the Rogers and
- 12:56Speaker 4: Matt Ryan and all those guys. I mean, but this
- 12:59Speaker 4: didn't matter. It didn't matter. Even if he was number one,
- 13:01Speaker 4: it wouldn't have mattered because if you didn't, if you
- 13:03Speaker 4: don't go and win. So it's a fun argument, I
- 13:07Speaker 4: guess it just it's one that never will end and
- 13:10Speaker 4: no one will really be right about it. And I
- 13:13Speaker 4: think Dak is good enough to lead this team to
- 13:18Speaker 4: where they want to go. I think he is good
- 13:20Speaker 4: enough because you've got, like I said yesterday, you gotta
- 13:23Speaker 4: have something amazing. They have that. They have that with
- 13:26Speaker 4: the defense. And so at that point, if you have
- 13:29Speaker 4: something amazing, you've got to have a really good offense
- 13:33Speaker 4: and a really good quarterback. And I think they have that.
- 13:36Speaker 4: I think they have a really good offense and a
- 13:38Speaker 4: really good quarterback. So I think he's good enough. All Right,
- 13:41Speaker 4: we got a lot of calls here. We got to
- 13:43Speaker 4: get to Irwin in Denver, Irwin. What's up one?
- 13:46Speaker 8: Hey?
- 13:47Speaker 9: Good morning, Nick?
- 13:47Speaker 8: How you doing.
- 13:48Speaker 4: I'm good and you good?
- 13:50Speaker 12: Good?
- 13:50Speaker 8: Hey?
- 13:50Speaker 10: I got a question for you. I was listening to
- 13:53Speaker 10: Talking Cowboys this morning. They were talking a little bit
- 13:56Speaker 10: about Michael Gallup and his lack of production.
- 14:00Speaker 8: Stand back for.
- 14:01Speaker 10: Saying that he didn't think that he was quite back
- 14:03Speaker 10: and he didn't really know if he was ever going
- 14:05Speaker 10: to be back. But my question to you is, if
- 14:07Speaker 10: that's the case, the Cowboys know that, why aren't they
- 14:11Speaker 10: developing or creating plays specifically for Gallop and kind of
- 14:17Speaker 10: use them like San Francisco uses Deebo Samuel's and because
- 14:21Speaker 10: it seems like a real big receiver, real physical we
- 14:23Speaker 10: just wanted to get.
- 14:23Speaker 12: Your top all one.
- 14:24Speaker 4: Are you saying, did I hear you correctly use Michael
- 14:27Speaker 4: Gallup like like Deebo Samuel?
- 14:31Speaker 10: Yes, kind of like that, use some plays like that
- 14:34Speaker 10: jet Suite, just some power stuff that. I mean, you
- 14:36Speaker 10: see Deebo Samuel's kind of doing those kind of plays,
- 14:39Speaker 10: and Michael Gallup says, seems like he's a real physical
- 14:42Speaker 10: kind of receiver and just seems like he would be
- 14:44Speaker 10: able to do stuff like that.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Yeah, uh, thanks for the call. I don't I don't
- 14:49Speaker 4: know if I see him though. First of all, I
- 14:50Speaker 4: don't see another receiver really like Deebo. I just in
- 14:53Speaker 4: the league. I don't. I don't he's special because he's special.
- 14:57Speaker 4: I mean he is. He is that. He could be
- 14:59Speaker 4: running back, he could be receiver. He's a little bit
- 15:01Speaker 4: of both. So I don't there isn't a lot of
- 15:04Speaker 4: players in the league like him. I know it's a
- 15:07Speaker 4: copycat league, but you gotta you gotta like copy him
- 15:10Speaker 4: the player. I really don't see Michael Gallup that way.
- 15:15Speaker 4: I see him a little bit more on the lean
- 15:18Speaker 4: side as a receiver. I don't think he's as physical
- 15:22Speaker 4: as he needs to be. There's been some times. I mean,
- 15:24Speaker 4: there was an interception last year against the forty nine
- 15:26Speaker 4: ers where you know, he kind of let the corner
- 15:29Speaker 4: go underneath him and all that and fighting for the
- 15:31Speaker 4: ball and all that. Now, he's a great He's great
- 15:34Speaker 4: at contested catches, great on the sideline. I think this
- 15:39Speaker 4: is a product of the offense. I don't think Dak
- 15:41Speaker 4: cares who gets the ball. I don't think Dak has
- 15:43Speaker 4: a fantasy football team either, you know, I don't think
- 15:45Speaker 4: he's trying to get the ball to somebody. CD was
- 15:48Speaker 4: opened a lot. CD is the best option that they have,
- 15:51Speaker 4: and he was the guy I thought yesterday I mean Sunday,
- 15:55Speaker 4: I thought, you know, Gallup not really a decoy, but
- 15:58Speaker 4: he just wasn't their best. There will be games their
- 16:02Speaker 4: teams are going to take away or try to take
- 16:04Speaker 4: away CD. They're going to do that. It's going to happen.
- 16:07Speaker 4: Michael Gallup and Brandon Cooks will get opportunities to make plays.
- 16:11Speaker 4: I wouldn't worry about it just yet, but you know,
- 16:14Speaker 4: I think he's a solid number two, number three, whatever
- 16:16Speaker 4: you want to say. He'll get his opportunities. Right now,
- 16:19Speaker 4: teams haven't proven that they're going to take away CD
- 16:22Speaker 4: and make an effort to do that. Once that happens,
- 16:25Speaker 4: you'll see Gallup get a lot more opportunities. I don't
- 16:28Speaker 4: think this will be an issue just yet. All Right,
- 16:31Speaker 4: Kyle at McCord Air Force Base and Tacoma, Washington, Kyle,
- 16:35Speaker 4: what's up?
- 16:36Speaker 9: How are you doing?
- 16:37Speaker 13: St? Nicholas?
- 16:38Speaker 4: What's up?
- 16:39Speaker 13: Another much? I got a statement and a quick question
- 16:42Speaker 13: for you. Michael Parsons is that dude? I don't know
- 16:45Speaker 13: if he's already noticed that or not, but we already
- 16:47Speaker 13: know that Michael Marsons is that dude. So when we
- 16:51Speaker 13: play San fran I'm looking ahead a little bit. But
- 16:54Speaker 13: I just want to know, do you think that our
- 16:56Speaker 13: line healthy with ty Smith everybody, Tyler Smith, do you
- 17:02Speaker 13: think that we could stand up if we went five
- 17:04Speaker 13: y because you were just talking about taking CD away,
- 17:07Speaker 13: maybe Michael Gallup not there, say, putting Deuce Vaughan out,
- 17:10Speaker 13: or maybe you haven't CD in the slot, something like that.
- 17:13Speaker 13: Do you think that we could stand up against their
- 17:15Speaker 13: D line, RO line compared to their D line. That's
- 17:18Speaker 13: my question.
- 17:19Speaker 4: Yeah, do you have another comment or is that it
- 17:22Speaker 4: he done?
- 17:22Speaker 6: Oh?
- 17:23Speaker 9: It all mean?
- 17:23Speaker 13: Well, the other comment is I love the new show,
- 17:25Speaker 13: thank you, and I do. I can't wait to see
- 17:28Speaker 13: what this season brings us through.
- 17:30Speaker 4: Awesome. Thanks a lot. I appreciate that. Kyle Air Force
- 17:33Speaker 4: Base in Coma, Washington, McCord Air Force Base, appreciate that.
- 17:37Speaker 4: Appreciate what you do. The forty nine ers, I mean,
- 17:43Speaker 4: you know, it's inevitable, it's happening. People are going to
- 17:46Speaker 4: talk about and that's okay. I'm not gonna knocking to
- 17:49Speaker 4: be that guy getting into that matchup. You know it'll
- 17:55Speaker 4: be it'll be different, you know, it'll be a different
- 17:58Speaker 4: game plan obviously for them, the way that they rush,
- 18:01Speaker 4: the way you know that they have some elite pass
- 18:04Speaker 4: rushers there of cors Bosa, but also just how physical
- 18:07Speaker 4: they are. So you know, I think I think it'll
- 18:10Speaker 4: be it'll be one. But you just have to be
- 18:12Speaker 4: balanced though you you're gonna you're gonna be committed to
- 18:14Speaker 4: the run. You're always gonna be committed to the run.
- 18:16Speaker 4: What they like to do with the with the play
- 18:19Speaker 4: action and the boots, you don't do that if you
- 18:22Speaker 4: don't run the football. So I don't know if the
- 18:23Speaker 4: game plan is going to be that different. They just
- 18:27Speaker 4: have to have weapons. That's the key is you have
- 18:30Speaker 4: to have throw as many weapons as you can. That's
- 18:33Speaker 4: to me why they lost against the forty nine ers
- 18:35Speaker 4: in the first in the playoff game last year when
- 18:38Speaker 4: Pollard went down, they just didn't have anyone other than CD.
- 18:42Speaker 4: They took CD away. Imagine that teams decided to do that.
- 18:46Speaker 4: He still had a good game, but but they put
- 18:47Speaker 4: a lot of focus on him. They got to have
- 18:49Speaker 4: other guys. Brandon Cooks has to be that guy. Rico
- 18:54Speaker 4: Daddle induced Van I mean, they have to be that guy.
- 18:57Speaker 4: The tied ends as well, so you know when it
- 18:59Speaker 4: gains it's there, you know, that's that's what you know
- 19:03Speaker 4: that's what needs to happen. But I'll say this, A
- 19:06Speaker 4: lot of people are saying their next test, their toughest test,
- 19:10Speaker 4: will be that game, and I don't agree to me.
- 19:13Speaker 4: The Cowboys have to show the consistency to be able
- 19:16Speaker 4: to put teams away and beat these teams that they're
- 19:19Speaker 4: supposed to be. So the test for me is being
- 19:23Speaker 4: four and oh when you play the forty nine ers,
- 19:25Speaker 4: making sure that you go to Arizona and you take
- 19:29Speaker 4: care of business there. You beat the Patriots. They have
- 19:31Speaker 4: a really, really good, great head coach. Say what you
- 19:35Speaker 4: want about their talent. Now, it's going to be an
- 19:38Speaker 4: emotional game as well, Zeke coming back and all that stuff.
- 19:41Speaker 4: You got to be able to be focused. If this
- 19:44Speaker 4: team is the team that they're supposed to be, it's
- 19:46Speaker 4: not going to be how they play the forty nine ers.
- 19:49Speaker 4: It's are they four and oh when they play the
- 19:51Speaker 4: forty nine ers? And that's why they got to get
- 19:53Speaker 4: through these games right now? All right? I can't even
- 19:55Speaker 4: keep up with the calls here, Tom in the Bronx,
- 19:58Speaker 4: New York, Tom, what's up?
- 20:01Speaker 14: Thanks for having me on?
- 20:03Speaker 9: Good questions.
- 20:04Speaker 10: You're regarding Maggie Smith and his potential.
- 20:07Speaker 4: Impact on Osa, you know, which is yeah, the production
- 20:10Speaker 4: he's been having.
- 20:11Speaker 11: And on that same note, as Tredy Lance's arrival had
- 20:15Speaker 11: an impact on Dak.
- 20:16Speaker 4: Prescott, I don't know about that. Thank you for the call, Tom.
- 20:20Speaker 4: I I don't think an impact on Dak. I think
- 20:23Speaker 4: he's he's playing well because this offense I think kind
- 20:27Speaker 4: of fits his style a little bit, takes some pressure
- 20:29Speaker 4: off of him as well. There's going to be games
- 20:31Speaker 4: though he has to go win the game. It will happen.
- 20:34Speaker 4: It just hasn't happened just yet. I don't know if
- 20:36Speaker 4: Trey Lance being here has really affected any of that.
- 20:39Speaker 4: I that would be one for him, but he's not
- 20:42Speaker 4: going to say that on on you know, on camera.
- 20:45Speaker 4: I don't think so. That's just my gut feeling. I
- 20:47Speaker 4: think he's you know, if things like that bothered him,
- 20:51Speaker 4: then he wouldn't be where he is right now because
- 20:53Speaker 4: he gets more criticism than any quarterback other than Romo.
- 20:59Speaker 4: But I mean that's just the nature of the position
- 21:02Speaker 4: and the nature of this team. Dak gets criticized for everything.
- 21:06Speaker 4: Dak can't go out and have a game like Josh
- 21:08Speaker 4: Allen did against the Jets. He can't do that. And
- 21:10Speaker 4: when he plays pretty well and has a really good
- 21:14Speaker 4: stat line and his team, you know, kicks the Jets ass,
- 21:18Speaker 4: that's not the lead story on it. It's not. Now.
- 21:20Speaker 4: If he would have played you know, poorly, and they
- 21:23Speaker 4: and they lose, then yeah, you're you're already you're looking
- 21:26Speaker 4: at the quarterbacks the next year's draft class, and that's
- 21:28Speaker 4: what people are gonna do. That's just Dak can't win
- 21:31Speaker 4: when it comes to that. I think now I don't
- 21:35Speaker 4: know if dry Lance is affecting Dak, but I would
- 21:37Speaker 4: say drafting Mazzie Smith maybe that has lit a fire
- 21:41Speaker 4: under under OsO Digi Zua. Something's working with him, and
- 21:45Speaker 4: I do think. I do think playing next to Micah
- 21:48Speaker 4: Parsons it helps. But I don't want to take anything
- 21:50Speaker 4: away from what Osa is doing. Uh, he's been really good.
- 21:54Speaker 4: The best thing for him is that he shows position
- 21:58Speaker 4: flex he's played I'm on the outside, He's able to
- 22:02Speaker 4: move around. That's the thing when you have Mike. If
- 22:04Speaker 4: Mike is going to go all over the place, that
- 22:06Speaker 4: means the guys that play there also have to go
- 22:08Speaker 4: all over the place. And he's done that and Mosa
- 22:11Speaker 4: is one of those those guys. He can slide them
- 22:14Speaker 4: to the outside. He's made them two sacks this year
- 22:17Speaker 4: from the starting out the defensive end position, So really
- 22:20Speaker 4: really impressive the way he's played, and he's is his
- 22:23Speaker 4: third year. The light bulbs kind of come on for him.
- 22:26Speaker 4: And just another really good, strong defensive player that they
- 22:30Speaker 4: can move around a little bit. So've been really good.
- 22:32Speaker 4: All right, We've got Ryan in Michigan. Ryan in Michigan.
- 22:40Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how are you doing today?
- 22:41Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you real?
- 22:44Speaker 5: Great?
- 22:44Speaker 12: Height?
- 22:45Speaker 9: Just a couple of things here. Love the show. Thanks shows,
- 22:48Speaker 9: I can't miss is hanging with the boys and now the.
- 22:50Speaker 4: Storyline awesome, awesome, thank you so bok.
- 22:55Speaker 9: My question is, you know we talk about McCarthy and
- 22:58Speaker 9: his red zone sence there. You know, we had the
- 23:02Speaker 9: two scores, two touchdowns in the first half of that game.
- 23:05Speaker 8: Is that correct?
- 23:06Speaker 4: Right?
- 23:07Speaker 9: And then we move in a third he was obviously
- 23:09Speaker 9: feeling comfortable enough where he was settling for the field goal.
- 23:13Speaker 9: Is this that maybe a case where he just didn't
- 23:15Speaker 9: want to show his hand. He don't need his best
- 23:18Speaker 9: red zone plays in this situation, feeling that the game
- 23:21Speaker 9: might be in hand at that point. And I guess
- 23:24Speaker 9: I'll hang.
- 23:25Speaker 4: Up and yeah, your thoughts on that, I think so,
- 23:27Speaker 4: I think that that's part of it. I think I
- 23:30Speaker 4: think the number one thing is, you know, the Jets
- 23:33Speaker 4: aren't gonna aren't gonna drive and and do anything here.
- 23:37Speaker 4: They're they're they're probably not the only way that this
- 23:40Speaker 4: is gonna happen is if you have a turnover or
- 23:43Speaker 4: something kind of you know, crazy that flips the field
- 23:46Speaker 4: and changes all the momentum and all that. Just don't
- 23:49Speaker 4: give him anything, so you don't need to force you know,
- 23:54Speaker 4: you know it's hard to throw down there anyways, So
- 23:57Speaker 4: don't don't give him anything cheap. Just keep running the ball.
- 24:00Speaker 4: If you pop something, that's great, If you know not,
- 24:03Speaker 4: just keep you know, getting field goals. And I think
- 24:06Speaker 4: Deck on the play, you know that that took a
- 24:08Speaker 4: sack down there too, and they got out of it
- 24:11Speaker 4: because of a couple of penalties. They got lucky on
- 24:13Speaker 4: that one drive where he got a couple of penalties
- 24:16Speaker 4: on roughing the passer and there was also a pass interference,
- 24:18Speaker 4: but you know, he took a sack down there too
- 24:20Speaker 4: that could have maybe affected them, you know, a longer
- 24:23Speaker 4: field goal than it needed to be, and all that,
- 24:24Speaker 4: so just be smart, and I think that's what he did.
- 24:26Speaker 4: And also I do think there's something to be to
- 24:29Speaker 4: be said for I'm not giving you all all the
- 24:31Speaker 4: tricks here, but they were up thirty three to nothing
- 24:35Speaker 4: against the Giants two weeks ago and they ran a run,
- 24:39Speaker 4: you know, pitch to the outside for turpin. So you know,
- 24:43Speaker 4: that was one we really hadn't seen before. It's part
- 24:46Speaker 4: of the game plan, so you know, they they did
- 24:48Speaker 4: that when they were up in the fourth quarter with
- 24:50Speaker 4: a with a nice lead. So I don't know if
- 24:52Speaker 4: McCarthy would even think that that was the case. All Right,
- 24:55Speaker 4: we'll go David in Fort Worth, David, what's up?
- 24:58Speaker 15: Hey?
- 24:59Speaker 16: How you doing today?
- 24:59Speaker 4: So good? How are you? David good Man?
- 25:02Speaker 16: Hey, I couldn't call yesterday. I actually had to like
- 25:03Speaker 16: get some work done or whatever.
- 25:05Speaker 4: Again, how to get worked work? Yeah, it works, work,
- 25:08Speaker 4: This is work. I'm just kidding. I do appreciate you guys.
- 25:13Speaker 4: I know that this is a This time is eleven
- 25:15Speaker 4: o'clock in the East Coast and ten o'clock here at
- 25:18Speaker 4: even eight in the morning, it's hard to break away
- 25:20Speaker 4: and call. So I do appreciate the guys that that
- 25:22Speaker 4: do call yes, sir, Yes, sir.
- 25:25Speaker 16: Hey, I'm gonna have a little bit of a more
- 25:27Speaker 16: passionate call today, man, because I called Friday, I said
- 25:30Speaker 16: that the score was going to be thirty one ten.
- 25:32Speaker 16: I was pretty close. But I also mentioned that people
- 25:34Speaker 16: were going to be freaking out about the offense. And
- 25:36Speaker 16: I knew that because I know that the Jets defense
- 25:39Speaker 16: is good. Man, I would say they're top five, and
- 25:41Speaker 16: I mean they're very, very talented. The thing about it
- 25:44Speaker 16: is they got tired. You know they're going to get tired.
- 25:47Speaker 16: I knew we were going to win, and I honestly did.
- 25:49Speaker 16: I just knew that they were going to get tired.
- 25:50Speaker 16: That happened all last season. I want to shout out
- 25:53Speaker 16: Dmitri and Rio Graham Valley. You called yesterday and was
- 25:56Speaker 16: mentioning that people that doesn't need to throw five hundred yards.
- 25:59Speaker 9: We don't need that.
- 26:00Speaker 16: And I think, honestly, I know that you hate this analogy,
- 26:03Speaker 16: and I really do hate it myself, but it may
- 26:05Speaker 16: help other people. I think that what we're seeing in
- 26:07Speaker 16: the divide of people saying that they're satisfied or not
- 26:11Speaker 16: satisfied is the difference in perspective when it comes to
- 26:14Speaker 16: playing to win versus playing not to lose. And I know, Nick,
- 26:17Speaker 16: I know, it's the same thing. That's what I'm trying to.
- 26:19Speaker 5: Explain to people.
- 26:20Speaker 16: It's just two different ways to achieve the same goal.
- 26:23Speaker 8: Exactly.
- 26:24Speaker 16: We could have aired it out. Maybe that could have
- 26:26Speaker 16: thrown for four or five hundred yards yesterday, but he
- 26:30Speaker 16: also could have thrown a couple picks and we could
- 26:32Speaker 16: have played conservative, which we did, but that also could
- 26:35Speaker 16: have came back and bite us, to bite us in
- 26:36Speaker 16: the butt. Luckily, work out in our favor. We got
- 26:39Speaker 16: a dub. I suggest everybody to just kind of relax
- 26:42Speaker 16: and just take it, you know, take it as it comes.
- 26:44Speaker 16: And you made a point earlier in the show. I
- 26:46Speaker 16: was kind of like upset because I was trying to
- 26:48Speaker 16: get through, but you made it before me.
- 26:50Speaker 5: I agree with you.
- 26:50Speaker 16: Four and oh is the test is great.
- 26:53Speaker 5: We want to get there.
- 26:54Speaker 16: It's awesome, But four and oh is the test because
- 26:55Speaker 16: all the great teams, when you look across the league,
- 26:58Speaker 16: you see all that team's gonna steam roll.
- 27:00Speaker 8: One of the.
- 27:01Speaker 16: Criticisms that the Cowboys have had last couple of seasons
- 27:04Speaker 16: is all they played down to their competition. Let's see
- 27:07Speaker 16: if we don't do that this year. Let's continue both
- 27:09Speaker 16: Let's continue the both teams outs continue to do great.
- 27:11Speaker 16: So appreciate you taking my call.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Good call, Yes, sir, good call there. I appreciate that,
- 27:17Speaker 4: I say, good call because he's got the same points
- 27:19Speaker 4: as me. But no, I you know, let's also point
- 27:24Speaker 4: out that the Cowboys have been twelve and five two
- 27:27Speaker 4: years in a row. As I watched highlights of them
- 27:30Speaker 4: beating the Bears last year, I mean a game like
- 27:33Speaker 4: that where you're supposed to win and you do and
- 27:36Speaker 4: you take care of business and all that, and so
- 27:39Speaker 4: they haven't really been playing down to the level of
- 27:42Speaker 4: their competition that much. I mean, twelve and five is
- 27:44Speaker 4: very respectible record two years in a row. Look at
- 27:48Speaker 4: Philly last year though, I mean Philly, you know, they
- 27:51Speaker 4: had some close games, but they they won a lot
- 27:53Speaker 4: of them. They were stacking wins, and that's that's what
- 27:55Speaker 4: you get. You have to do. You can't slip up,
- 27:59Speaker 4: especially when you know one of the best teams in
- 28:01Speaker 4: your own division is in the league, which is Philly.
- 28:05Speaker 4: I mean, twelve and five they went last year, but
- 28:07Speaker 4: they weren't they win the division because because they because
- 28:10Speaker 4: Philly didn't struggle in those games like that against a
- 28:13Speaker 4: Jacksonville or whatever. So I think you're right. And also
- 28:19Speaker 4: about the you know, playing to win playing not to lose,
- 28:22Speaker 4: it is the same thing to me, and people will
- 28:25Speaker 4: argue all day long about that. But when you run
- 28:29Speaker 4: the football and you are conservative in the second half,
- 28:32Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter of that game, you are playing
- 28:35Speaker 4: not to lose because the only way you're going to
- 28:37Speaker 4: lose is if you make a mistake. If you just
- 28:40Speaker 4: play sound football, they are not going to score on you.
- 28:44Speaker 4: So don't give them anything. That's playing not to lose,
- 28:47Speaker 4: which is also playing to win. That's it'll never I
- 28:52Speaker 4: never will understand that, But that's okay. Two things can
- 28:56Speaker 4: mean the exact same thing. We're going to take a
- 28:58Speaker 4: break here on Cowboy Storyline and we'll come back and

- 31:18Speaker 4: We're gonna go right to the phone lines. Chris and Mississippi. Chris,
- 31:21Speaker 4: what's up?
- 31:23Speaker 12: How you doing?
- 31:23Speaker 9: Mare?
- 31:24Speaker 4: I'm good? You on the road? You traveling?
- 31:27Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm actually fas to get loaded. I was gonna
- 31:29Speaker 7: tell you you and Brad and Babe y'all gotta quit
- 31:33Speaker 7: announced for Jinks and us.
- 31:36Speaker 4: What did they do? Oh?
- 31:38Speaker 7: They Brad said something about oh, Dak hadn't thrown any
- 31:42Speaker 7: incompletions very next through in completion and then you and
- 31:46Speaker 7: babe both said something about them not scoring on us
- 31:49Speaker 7: in two weeks. Yeah, very next play score, I've just
- 31:55Speaker 7: picked on you.
- 31:56Speaker 8: I get it.
- 31:56Speaker 4: Well, I know I did it.
- 31:58Speaker 7: Man, amazing game, dude. I can't. I can't praise Mike
- 32:03Speaker 7: McCarthy and Dak Prescott anymore, and I just wish I
- 32:07Speaker 7: want to.
- 32:08Speaker 4: I just want to save that because it's funny, just
- 32:11Speaker 4: how I appreciate it though you. I mean, you're right,
- 32:14Speaker 4: keep going, but I'm just saying, it's just it's just
- 32:16Speaker 4: it's just pleasant to hear that because they don't always
- 32:20Speaker 4: get the praise.
- 32:21Speaker 7: I can't. I mean, I've seen you know, I keep
- 32:24Speaker 7: listening to these fans saying and announcers saying, oh, well,
- 32:28Speaker 7: they're not throwing the ball deep, they're not throwing the
- 32:30Speaker 7: ball deep. Well, people don't get it is that you
- 32:33Speaker 7: want a Monday morning quarterback. Then you need to realize
- 32:36Speaker 7: that they don't have to do that right now. So
- 32:39Speaker 7: why would you put that on tape? Wait until you
- 32:42Speaker 7: actually have to, because if they have to start taking
- 32:45Speaker 7: the intermediate and the short throws away from us, then
- 32:48Speaker 7: the deep's going to be open. People don't use their
- 32:51Speaker 7: brains when they're talking about that, and I promise people,
- 32:54Speaker 7: if you're listening to me and you're Cowboy fan, I've
- 32:56Speaker 7: been watching Dak since he was in college, I promise
- 32:59Speaker 7: you he can make the deep bros. And he can
- 33:01Speaker 7: make a maccurate and he looks better this year than
- 33:04Speaker 7: he ever has.
- 33:05Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, I think I think he can.
- 33:07Speaker 7: I think I'm just ready. I'm ready for that. I'm
- 33:10Speaker 7: ready for that Chargers game because I can't wait for
- 33:12Speaker 7: that vindication.
- 33:13Speaker 4: Wow. Well, I got onto all the fans yesterday for
- 33:17Speaker 4: in today. Now about the forty nine Ers. Uh, we're
- 33:20Speaker 4: skipping that. Now, we're skipping the forty nine ers to
- 33:22Speaker 4: the Chargers.
- 33:23Speaker 13: Cool.
- 33:23Speaker 7: Uh No, he'll get to play the forty nine Ers
- 33:25Speaker 7: twice this year.
- 33:26Speaker 4: Okay.
- 33:27Speaker 7: I just I can't wait to put I can't wait
- 33:29Speaker 7: to put killing more in his place, because you look
- 33:31Speaker 7: at what he's doing out there. He's doing the same
- 33:32Speaker 7: thing he was doing here, scoring big and then can't
- 33:35Speaker 7: finish at the end. I mean, he didn't learn how
- 33:37Speaker 7: to finish wives here evidently.
- 33:39Speaker 4: So he might be the head coach at some point, Yeah,
- 33:44Speaker 4: the leader in that season. You have a great day, Yeah,
- 33:47Speaker 4: into good stuff, deep deep ball or whatever I mean. Yeah, they'll, they'll,
- 33:53Speaker 4: they'll get there. Michael Gallup's gonna and Michael Gallup's gonna
- 33:56Speaker 4: be included in that too. Michael Gallup's gonna gonna. He's
- 33:59Speaker 4: not for gotten. He's he's a good he's a good
- 34:02Speaker 4: wide receiver. They they will, they will find ways to
- 34:06Speaker 4: get him involved. But teams are gonna have to prove
- 34:09Speaker 4: that they can take away CD, and the Jets did
- 34:11Speaker 4: not do that. I would imagine that there'll be different
- 34:14Speaker 4: game plans against them now though, Corey in New York
- 34:18Speaker 4: is the next caller. Corey tense callar of the day.
- 34:20Speaker 4: That's good, Corey. What's up?
- 34:22Speaker 9: What's up?
- 34:23Speaker 15: Nick?
- 34:23Speaker 17: Love the shows so far?
- 34:24Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 34:25Speaker 17: I got two questions. I'll keep it quick for you.
- 34:29Speaker 17: The first one is in years past, it seems like
- 34:32Speaker 17: every time the offense gets sagnant and then right before
- 34:36Speaker 17: half we go into the.
- 34:37Speaker 5: Hurry up and we go right down the field.
- 34:39Speaker 17: You know, I'd like to see that a little bit more.
- 34:41Speaker 17: What do you think about doing that at least?
- 34:46Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 34:46Speaker 17: And also the other one is, uh, what's the player
- 34:51Speaker 17: from probably the dak from era that you thought it
- 34:54Speaker 17: was gonna pan out a little bit better? And for
- 34:56Speaker 17: whatever reason, his career was cut short.
- 34:58Speaker 4: What players if you want one of mine? Yeah, yeah,
- 35:01Speaker 4: go ahead.
- 35:03Speaker 17: Patrick Watkins was a beast in Madden and I just
- 35:07Speaker 17: always thought this guy was gonna be good. He was shoumongous,
- 35:10Speaker 17: thought he'd be a bull howk but it just never happened.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Yeah, uh yeah, I mean I think the thing for him,
- 35:19Speaker 4: I mean was six ' five safety, you know, and
- 35:23Speaker 4: you're like, why why weren't you a receiver?
- 35:25Speaker 8: You know?
- 35:26Speaker 4: But he uh yeah, Pat Pat Watkins. I mean he's
- 35:29Speaker 4: got some you see, like Israel mccuamu and I I
- 35:33Speaker 4: kind of think of him like that too, just just
- 35:36Speaker 4: the length that they have at that position. It was
- 35:41Speaker 4: the first question, the first part of your question, though,
- 35:45Speaker 4: Now you got me thinking about other players, and I
- 35:47Speaker 4: forgot the first part of your question. Hurry up. Yeah,
- 35:54Speaker 4: here's the thing about last year. Thanks for the call, Courty.
- 35:57Speaker 4: The thing about last year too is some of those
- 35:59Speaker 4: inner options that Dek threw were right before the half too,
- 36:03Speaker 4: of those deep crosses over the middle with CD for
- 36:07Speaker 4: the most part, though Dek has got it dialed up.
- 36:10Speaker 4: They do well when they're going in tempo, and I
- 36:12Speaker 4: would like to see that a little bit more. I
- 36:14Speaker 4: think you're onto something there not all the time. It
- 36:16Speaker 4: kind of depends on what the last drive was. If
- 36:21Speaker 4: if they get a three and out on defense relatively fresh,
- 36:26Speaker 4: I could see maybe doing that because if that's the case,
- 36:29Speaker 4: that means that the defense they're facing was probably out
- 36:32Speaker 4: not too long ago too, so you can maybe get
- 36:34Speaker 4: them in a rhythm. But if your defense just gave
- 36:37Speaker 4: up a touchdown or a long field goal, I don't
- 36:40Speaker 4: know if you want to go hurry up, bang bang,
- 36:42Speaker 4: bang doesn't work. You have to plant. Now you're putting
- 36:44Speaker 4: them back out there again. So there's a little bit
- 36:47Speaker 4: more to it than that. I mean, you kind of
- 36:50Speaker 4: need to manage the game a little bit. But that's
- 36:51Speaker 4: where having the head coach as your play caller, that's
- 36:56Speaker 4: why he can he can help Kellen Moore or whoever
- 36:58Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator is. He's just over there dialing things up.
- 37:01Speaker 4: He's thinking, let's do this, this and this so we
- 37:03Speaker 4: can move the ball. And I think it's a little
- 37:05Speaker 4: different when it comes from the head coach. The player
- 37:07Speaker 4: that comes to mind that just had it all in
- 37:11Speaker 4: front of him and didn't do anything. I mean, I
- 37:14Speaker 4: know I've said this before, but I mean David Irving.
- 37:17Speaker 4: David Irving could have been an All Pro I think
- 37:20Speaker 4: I think he could have been an All Pro player.
- 37:23Speaker 4: He just didn't want to be. That's that's kind of
- 37:25Speaker 4: the sad part is is he had the talent. He
- 37:28Speaker 4: had the talent to come and I remember he got
- 37:30Speaker 4: suspended for four games and he was coming back from suspension.
- 37:34Speaker 4: I remember Tyrone Crawford, a guy that had to work
- 37:37Speaker 4: really hard to be what he was, and I remember
- 37:40Speaker 4: him getting interviewed and saying, do you think David Irving
- 37:42Speaker 4: can come step in and contribute right away after being
- 37:45Speaker 4: gone for four weeks? And he goes, David could, David can.
- 37:49Speaker 4: He's that kind of guy. All the talent in the
- 37:52Speaker 4: world just football wasn't number one, maybe not even in
- 37:57Speaker 4: the top five. And that's too bad because he really,
- 37:59Speaker 4: really was. He could have been a special player. All right,
- 38:01Speaker 4: Bob in Rio Grand Valley, he's the next caller, Bob,
- 38:04Speaker 4: what's up?
- 38:05Speaker 8: Good morning?
- 38:06Speaker 12: How you doing this?
- 38:07Speaker 6: I'm good, I'm doing great.
- 38:10Speaker 12: Thank you.
- 38:11Speaker 8: You know.
- 38:12Speaker 12: I was not disappointed when the Cowboys announced that they
- 38:17Speaker 12: decided to release Rojo. I don't think it had anything
- 38:21Speaker 12: to do with his ability. I just don't think that
- 38:24Speaker 12: the guy is moral character fit in with our culture.
- 38:28Speaker 12: And I think that they're the cowboys right now. And
- 38:31Speaker 12: I want your thoughts on this. I think they're guilty
- 38:34Speaker 12: of making a mistake that they made back when we
- 38:37Speaker 12: first got Tony Pollard did and didn't blame as much
- 38:40Speaker 12: as we needed to. I think we've got a guy
- 38:43Speaker 12: on a roster right now that could be that that
- 38:46Speaker 12: second carry man and really do a great job at it.
- 38:50Speaker 12: And that's hon a Thisskey that I've watched some of
- 38:53Speaker 12: his tape up there when he's at North Dakota. And
- 38:55Speaker 12: I'm gonna tell you what, that guy, he's more than
- 38:57Speaker 12: a fullback. He's a half back. He took ass catcher,
- 39:00Speaker 12: he's a blocker, he's got speed, he's a losing uh.
- 39:04Speaker 12: I think he could. I think you could line him
- 39:07Speaker 12: up right now and you'd be you'd be back to
- 39:09Speaker 12: having uh Tony Pollard and Zeke. I want to know
- 39:14Speaker 12: what you think.
- 39:14Speaker 17: Now.
- 39:15Speaker 12: Listen to your answer.
- 39:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm not I'm not there to call
- 39:20Speaker 4: him Zeke just yet. And I don't think that's what
- 39:22Speaker 4: you're saying either. You're just saying that that one two
- 39:25Speaker 4: punch I he's intriguing, and he's so intriguing that that
- 39:30Speaker 4: you know, he made the team on that fourth, sorry,
- 39:32Speaker 4: third preseason game. He made the team just showing some
- 39:38Speaker 4: some things that he can do out of the backfield
- 39:40Speaker 4: with the ball in his hands and as a blocker.
- 39:42Speaker 4: And I think you're seeing it a little bit more
- 39:46Speaker 4: each week. Last week, you know, the or the first game,
- 39:48Speaker 4: he got some some some reps. Second game, now we're
- 39:52Speaker 4: seeing some different plays as well. He's down there on
- 39:55Speaker 4: the goal line. He's he's doing they haven't got the
- 39:57Speaker 4: ball in his hands, you know that much just yet.
- 40:00Speaker 4: That might be coming as well. So I think he
- 40:03Speaker 4: just continues to get work. Remember he did it at
- 40:07Speaker 4: North Dakota State that that's not the same level. But
- 40:12Speaker 4: you know, they have they have a great program. They
- 40:14Speaker 4: have they have a great program. They get guys drafted.
- 40:18Speaker 4: I believe Watson from Green Bay was was there you
- 40:22Speaker 4: know too, along with the quarterbacks. So they they put
- 40:25Speaker 4: out some some pros. He's working his way into there.
- 40:28Speaker 4: I think I think he can be that guy. I
- 40:30Speaker 4: really do. I think he can be that player. You know,
- 40:34Speaker 4: going back to going going back to the caller before
- 40:38Speaker 4: about players that didn't you know that you thought were
- 40:42Speaker 4: going to be a little bit better and and just
- 40:43Speaker 4: didn't work on it. And I said, David Irving, you
- 40:45Speaker 4: know another guy too that I thought was going to
- 40:48Speaker 4: be a star and and it just didn't work for him.
- 40:51Speaker 4: It was Julius Jones. Julius Jones his rookie year. You
- 40:55Speaker 4: go back and watch highlights from that season two thousand
- 41:00Speaker 4: and four. He came in the second half of the year.
- 41:02Speaker 4: He was dynamic as a running back. He had three
- 41:05Speaker 4: games of one hundred and fifty yards or more in
- 41:08Speaker 4: eight in the final eight games of the season. And
- 41:12Speaker 4: I really thought his next year he was going to
- 41:14Speaker 4: bet he's going to take over. But that's when the
- 41:17Speaker 4: first time we really heard a lot about high ankle sprains.
- 41:20Speaker 4: We know just an ankle sprain before, but a high
- 41:23Speaker 4: ankle sprain. And I think Parcels, even Parcels admitted it,
- 41:28Speaker 4: he didn't really know the difference and understand the difference.
- 41:31Speaker 4: He wanted him back out there, and I think he
- 41:34Speaker 4: pushed him out a little too early, and and Julius
- 41:38Speaker 4: really wasn't the same after that man, Julius Jones, and
- 41:42Speaker 4: another one too, Felix Jones, Felix Jones was another guy
- 41:45Speaker 4: that I thought would be a lot better and when
- 41:48Speaker 4: he was he was pretty dynamic when he was healthy. Again,
- 41:51Speaker 4: another case where football wasn't always the top of the list.
- 41:56Speaker 4: All right, Ali in Florida is the next caller, probably
- 41:59Speaker 4: the last call Ali and Florida.
- 42:02Speaker 6: Hig, congratulations on your show. Loved the show And if
- 42:07Speaker 6: I had one wish, I love to see Jerry Jones
- 42:11Speaker 6: being super Bowl before the time is out, because I
- 42:16Speaker 6: love I don't train him for any ownership. He's been
- 42:21Speaker 6: working so hard. Then I'm going to give you another perspective.
- 42:25Speaker 6: I went to a game on Sunday. I live in Florida.
- 42:31Speaker 6: A flew four o'clock in the morning, then to the game,
- 42:35Speaker 6: went to airport Sunday night. I had to catch a
- 42:39Speaker 6: five o'clock flight. But it was so nice to see
- 42:43Speaker 6: in the terminal everybody was sleeping on the chairs on
- 42:47Speaker 6: the floor with all the cowboy jersey all over the place.
- 42:52Speaker 6: It was just like so surreal that you see, like
- 42:55Speaker 6: everybody tried to catch the next day, but it was
- 42:59Speaker 6: a view that every cowboys French you see. It was awesome.
- 43:04Speaker 4: Yeah, that is that is cool and and you when
- 43:06Speaker 4: you win. You know, obviously you have that passion and
- 43:10Speaker 4: and you know here in Dallas, and that's what it
- 43:12Speaker 4: should be, you know. And and it wouldn't have surprised
- 43:14Speaker 4: me if you said there were a lot of you know,
- 43:16Speaker 4: Jets fans that are leaving or whatever, because I mean,
- 43:19Speaker 4: Dallas is a place where a lot of fans from
- 43:21Speaker 4: other teams are gonna are going to go. They see
- 43:23Speaker 4: it on the schedule. It's easy, it's right in the
- 43:25Speaker 4: center of the United States. You can fly in, you know,
- 43:28Speaker 4: and and it's a cool place to be. You know,
- 43:30Speaker 4: the weather's going to be good, you know, and so
- 43:33Speaker 4: it's it's always a place you're gonna see a lot
- 43:35Speaker 4: of the teams. But it's good when the Cowboys are winning,
- 43:38Speaker 4: you know. It's it's nice to see a lot of
- 43:40Speaker 4: Dallas jerseys around and rightfully so. And and they you
- 43:44Speaker 4: guys are great fans, you know. You guys have always
- 43:46Speaker 4: been great fans. You know, We've been doing this for
- 43:50Speaker 4: twenty five years and and we're always we have one
- 43:52Speaker 4: of the best, you know, numbers in the league as
- 43:55Speaker 4: far as page views, as far as video views, articles,
- 43:59Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. And it's not because they've
- 44:01Speaker 4: had a ton of success on the field. It's because
- 44:04Speaker 4: you guys are loyal, dedicated fans that are just chomping
- 44:07Speaker 4: at the bit to win a Super Bowl and get
- 44:10Speaker 4: back there. And it's just like the last caller said,
- 44:12Speaker 4: he wants to do it for Jerry Jones. He wants
- 44:13Speaker 4: it as more. He wants as much as you guys do,
- 44:15Speaker 4: if not more. So we'll see if this year could
- 44:18Speaker 4: be different. Certainly looks good so far, but we got
- 44:21Speaker 4: a long ways to go. We don't have long ways
- 44:23Speaker 4: to go in this show. This is end of of
- 44:25Speaker 4: the show today. Wa back tomorrow. Thank you Chris Beam.
- 44:27Speaker 4: I'm Nick Eatman. We'll see tomorrow. Cowboys storyline.
