• 0:23
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: here and we are ready for another thirty minutes of
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: cowboys talk. That's what we do around here, all right.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I want to hear from you, guys, like always got
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the phone nines open. I kind of hear some some
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: calling going on in the background back there. I think
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we're already getting ready to get going here. One eight
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: eight eight five five two two nine seven. That is
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the phone line. Want to hear from you? Text line
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: is eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Send those text messages. We've already got a lot of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: those as well. We're gonna get through the storylines here.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And it's cut day. It's cut two days. Really, it
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: used to just be one one big cut day. But
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: after that, I mean, now you know you've got the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: waiver wire, You've got claims that are gonna be made.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's it's two o'clock. If you're if you're watching this
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: on demand, I'll just tell right now it's two o'clock
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Dallas time. Three o'clock is the deadline for for when
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they're gonna hear about their claims that maybe that they
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: put in for other teams or if other teams were
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: have claimed some players, and so a little bit more
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: roster and manipulation than in the past, and you'll see
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: some of that. I don't think just because you've made
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the team now doesn't mean you're gonna be on it,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you know, tomorrow or even later today. And just because
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you're on the practice squad now, which will get official
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: here in a little while, but probably after the show
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: naturally is off the ARA, the practice squad will be official.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: But we got some names of who we anticipate will
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: be on it and guys that won't be. And and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'll just tell you right now, the practice squad is
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: gonna look different. You're gonna have some guys playing in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the game against the Giants that are currently on the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: practice squad, like a like a long snap Er Trant
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Siege or maybe even a CJ. Goodwin. That's just kind
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of the way that they have to make these these
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: things work. And most of the fans kind of are know.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: You guys know that by now on how we're doing
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: things and how the Cowboys kind of you know, I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say manipulate the rules, but you know, you have
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to kind of bend them a little bit to make
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: this thing work. And this every team in the league
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: does it, and so that's why it kind of creates
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: some chaotic times here for these twenty four hours to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours with the roster just still trying to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: figure it out. We're gonna have a story on the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: website on Friday of like, here's what the roster looks
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: like now, position by position, And I say it Friday
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: because that's when all the dust will probably settle and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you'll really get a good idea of what this thing
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: looks like, especially the bottom end and the practice squad.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But practice squad is bigger than it ever has been
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: because you can move these guys up to two guys
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: from the practice squad, elevate them up to the roster.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You can only do it three times per player, but
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you can do it every week. So the practice squad
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: is more meaningful, I think now than it ever has been.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So all right, I want to hear from you guys.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We didn't get any calls to the last show we
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: got so we got a guy on the line now,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I believe Travis from San Antonio. So I'm going to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: hit the calls right away. Travis, are you there?
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: What's up Nick.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: On the new show? I'm good. Just a quick comment
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: and question or kind of what I want to get
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: your thoughts on something I think everyone needs a I'm
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: a Michigan fan, so I think everyone needs a relax on.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Mysie's been hearing all this stuff and seen everything. He's
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: working with Michael with his hands. If he develops his hands,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: a bigger jump from I think the second half of
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: the year to the offseason is going to be where
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: you're going to see him jump. I think he's going
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: to be just fine and he needs a relax on that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: But I did want to get your thoughts on having
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: adding Gilbour to this team. I think is big because
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to allow dan Quinn to do
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: more things on defense than he even does now. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: I noticed, you know with the whole walking vandresh up
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: to rush off the edge.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: My thought is that.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: They're going to do that so they can pick and
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: choose when they do that throughout a game. Either send
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Micah and drop lv E back or send lv and
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: drop Micah back, and then when it comes to critical situations,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: you can't identify who the mic is and you can
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: send either one. So I just want to get your
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: thoughts on that and have a great show.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. And I have I have made
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a comment on that before, maybe not to the point
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: about identifying the middle linebacker, so that that is a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: good point right there. But you're right about the fact
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of is it Michael, because that's what every quarterback has
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to do on every snap. And that's why you know
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you've got a great player is because when they're out
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: here looking at what your guy is that then you're
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: helping dictate what's going to happen. Because a lot of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the offenses and those arrogant offensive coordinators because they all
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: are they think, no, we do what we do and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you try to stop it, which is cool. Most of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the time. When you have a Micah Parson is sitting
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: out there, you'd be foolish to do it that way.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You have to find out where he is on every snap.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And to your point, you got him rushing at times.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Now you've got Layton coming in, they'll move it around now,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to be a better defense if
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Mike is rushing the passer more than he's not. I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: think that's fair to say. But at times when you can,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you know, you can be a decoy here and there.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think Jordan took every game winning shot,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: but I mean every once in a while, maybe when
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he was doubled he could pass it off. But you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: got to have a Pippin is Lighton gonna be that
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that guy, and I think he can. We saw some
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: pretty good things of him rushing off the edge. Going
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: back to your Mazzie Smith comment, and I had a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: text line question two from Jason from Pennsylvania about him
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: being an upgrade over Bohanna. Is it just because he's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a first round pick? I think I think he is.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I think the up upside is there Bohanna, I think
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: is what he is, a bigger guy, of course, But
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to your point Travis about the hands and strength is strength,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and if I mean, you've got to be able to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: play with leverage, You've got to be able to understand
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: how to play and use that strength. But I think
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: he continue, he will continue to do that, and I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna get better and better, because strength travels
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: each week when you're strong as an ox. Jonathan Hankins says,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Mazzi is the strongest player he's ever played next to.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And he's he's been in the league now ten years.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: He played with the guy named Snacks, you know, over
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: with the Giants, and he's a pretty strong guy himself,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Hankins is. But for him to say that, so he's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: getting some good coaching. He's got the strength, he's got
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the tools, you know. And also give the Cowboys some
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: credit to they draft well in the first round. Now,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you say what you want about Taco Charlton, that's it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: That's it, unless you want to go to a different
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: decade from now. You know, Morris Claiborne, way back eleven
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: years ago. They draft well in the first round. They
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: always have their guys make the Pro Bowl or the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: All Pro or both. Taco was not a good pick
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: late in the first round. Everyone knows that Morris Claiborne
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: turned out to not be a good pick. But for
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the most part, they do well. So let's give let's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: give him credit. I mean, Mozzi's not going to come
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: out rut of the gate. Byron Jones didn't either, but
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: he developed into a pretty good player. So all right,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: let's go back to another phone call. What do we
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: got Barack Jacksonville, Florida. What's up? Man?
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: Hey man, I just wanted to say, first off and
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: grap on the new show, thank you. Decided to kick
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: it old school with the question. I was doing some
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: moving here is going through some boxes, came across the
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: classic of if these Walls could talk. First question is
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: do you think we'll ever get a volume two to that?
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: And the second question is two guys that you've covered,
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: if you could pick one guy from offense and one
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: guy on defense that you put on a team right
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: now that you think would make us an absolute super
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Bowl Locked. Appreciate your man, take it easy, Thank you,
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: Love love that call.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Oh If these Walls could Talk? Part two? Maybe, I mean,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you know, they're they've been silent for a little bit.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe they needed to start chatting it up again. I'll
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: say that. And and I've had the fortune And this
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: isn't me like boasting or anything, but I mean I've
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I've written four books that one, by far is the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: one that that people love the most and still still
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: buy it. And I still get a little check every
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: now and again every you know, like once every every summer.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, that that one. That was a fun
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: book to write and just just just me. It was
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a collection of stories that I've been there, and I
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: remember thinking it was fifteen years I've been working for
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, so I used a lot of stories. So
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: now it's been twenty four years. So there's probably some
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: more that I could I could throw out there. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean I can't. I'm not going to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: say no to that. That There's a couple of ideas
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: floating around, but nothing crazy. Two guys that could help
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the team right now that I've covered. I mean that's
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: always a tricky question. I mean, are they do they
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Is their body the same now? I mean it's you
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: know as old are they limping around or just you
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: know somebody that that played back in the day, and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and you know, I mean you can, man, you could
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: always look at the players that you know, look at
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: positions of some need. And when I get asked about
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: any former player that I've covered, they they are, it
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: always starts with Darren Woodson. For me, I'm sorry, it's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: just that I'm guilty. I guess that's That's why he's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: got a big picture of my office hanging there, because
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: they's my favorite player. I think he could play in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: any era. I think he could. He understands the game.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: He's one of the smartest players, one of the smartest
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: people I've ever met. He's driven to the point where
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna He's not gonna fail, He's just not.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And so you put him at linebacker, you can put
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: him at safety, you could put him at slot corner.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You could probably put him at corner. He could play
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: all the special teams. I mean, Darren Woodson could do
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: it all, you know. And and Bill Parcells, I think
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: has a great quote. He's like I had him for
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: one year. He goes, if I would have had it
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in my whole career, there's no doubt he would be
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in Canton already. And I think that's where he deserves
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to be. So that's a guy right there. You know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: any any other guy that could make him a lock?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You know? How about another running back? You know, I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: mean another guy, I mean Zeke in his in his
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in his time and his in his you know, like
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: early career, or a back like that, or a Marian
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Barber type of guy. You know, just just just a big,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: bruising type back that that just can can change the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: game and really compliment the other running back that you have.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: So but that's those there's just two positions that come
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: up with. That was a good question. I wish I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: had a little bit more time for that because because
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I would, I would have had a better answer. But
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to me, if if you're saying former player, I always
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: started with Darren Woodson because I mean he checks all
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the boxes for me. Great player, better person. All right,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: let's go back to the phone line. Joe from Stanford.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: My guy, what's up man?
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: What's up?
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: Brother?
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: How are you dad?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Good man? How are you good?
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Lots of excitement, So a couple of things. First, I'm
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: really excited about Hunter leftkey. I think he's going to
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: be able to play more than just a full back position,
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: sort of h back, maybe a little tight end, sort
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: of move them around. I think he's going to really
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: give us a different facet of our So I'm super
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: excited about that. The other thing I'm wondering about it,
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: have you heard anything? Have we got any of these
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: center guys back? Have they signed somewhere yet? Obviously we
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: haven't done our practice squad yet. But are we gonna
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: get Barniak or one of these guys back to back
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: up our center.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: That is a good question. That's a really good question,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and Joe, I appreciate the call, thank you so much.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Backup center is a question mark right now. There's no
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. Brock Hoffman is probably going to be
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: on the practice squad and that he could be a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: guy that they move up on game day. But I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: think you only elevate two guys, and as it stands
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: right now, I see a long snapper and I see CJ.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Goodwin that that could be on the practice squad as well.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to make some moves here. Don't
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: rule out this one. That your backup snapper, your backup
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: center for the game is Zach Martin. Yeah, yeah, that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that that could happen, and that that very well could
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: be the case. And the reason why I have that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: face because he's never done it. Now, Zach Martin could
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: probably punt and he would be a decent at it
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: because he's great. But that is a possibility. I think
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that's being discussed. I don't know if that's something that
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they're going to do. All the time, but it could
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: it could be the case if they get down to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it in a game. My guess is that they'll probably
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have a different guy. Farniac. No, I don't see him
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in the plans at the moment right now. So all
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: right again, like I said, we're gonna take it. We'll
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: take a break here. When we do, we'll come back.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: We're gonna well, we'll talk a little bit more about

• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back here the second segment of Cowboys Storyline. I'm
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Nick Eatman, and we are talking about the roster, talking
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: about everything Cowboys related here as we get closer and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: closer to week one of the season, a couple of
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: things of note here again at three o'clock, which is
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: about forty minutes from now that that's when we'll hear
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit more about the official practice squad. The
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Cowboys are adding some players to it from other teams.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And one of the guys that's being reported as a
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: center from the Giants, Sean Harlow, that was had a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: chance to go to the Giants practice squad, came to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys practice squad. And you know a lot of
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: times practice squad to practice squad. Now, the money can
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: be different. You can pay people what you want from
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the practice squad still got to fit under the salary cap.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: But there's been times where you can kind of give
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: them more money. But you know, it comes down to opportunity.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, Cowboys wanted Will Greer, but he was going
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to be the fourth quarterback here and I know he
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: signed with Cincinnati and you know, you could be on
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: their practice squad. But it's also, like we talked about before,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: opportunity on game day. There are some guys that have
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a chance to move up during the week, elevated at
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the end of the week. That probably wouldn't have been
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the case here in Dallas, but maybe a better opportunity
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: for him. Same with the center. Harlow looks at the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, no backup spot here for the Cowboys, could
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: be a good opportunity for him to move up. All right,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: let's go in another thing. Dennis Houston, wide receiver, same
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: situation could have gone here in Dallas. It looks like
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: he's going to the Giants practice squad there. All right,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: let's go back to the phone line, Gary from New Mexico. Gary,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: what's up, hey, Nick?
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: How you doing?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I'm great man? How are you?
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: I'm good? First off, I think you're the only person
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: on the planet that could challenge me in my historical
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: knowledge of the Dallas Cowboy.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Let's do it, man, What do you go one of
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: these days.
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: You just you throw anything at me, man, and just
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: see if I can answer.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: But all right, here's the thing.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Gary. Next time you call, which we
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: got to show Friday, I don't know, Friday at eleven
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: on if you can make there. Uh, next time you call, uh,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you throw a trivia question at me, I'll throw one
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: at you and then we'll see what happens. And because
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little worried now, I mean, if you
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna throw it out there, I'll give one out.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: And you know that that's actually something I've thought of,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe not during the season, during the during
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you know, these Mondays when the season gets cranking up.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like like having some some trivia questions back
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and forth, or just name a random player, just any
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: random I love that.
• 17:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I love the random the random thing. I'll enjoy
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: listening to you when you talk about that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker 11: But on the on the Hunter Lipty thing, do you
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: think that there's a possibility that they've been kind of
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: holding some stuff back and we may see a little
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: more of Hunter Lymkey in a in a full back
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: roll blocking for Tony Pollard when the season starts.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. I appreciate the call, uh And
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and also reminds me I didn't answer the Lipkey part
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: from Joe uh And the previous caller. So yeah, let's
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: talk about Hunter Lipkey a little bit. Probably. I mean,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: everything you do at this point is a little bit
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of vanilla, so you're not using a lot of fullback.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: You don't put a lot of fullback on tape, So sure,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like to see if he's going to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: do that. I think they wanted to see if he
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: could be a running back as well, and what he
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: does there. I thought he made the team with one
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: play the other night. I thought he caught a pass
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: out of the backfield, slipped a defender and trucked another
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: guy at the end and had a nice play. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I thought, right then, I thought, if he's gonna make
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the team, it's going to because of that, because you're
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: showing an ability and awareness to catch it out of
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the backfield, the hands to catch it, the elusiveness to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: get by a guy, the power to run over someone,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: just the playmaking ability there. And so he did make
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the team, and now with McEwan not on the team,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that kind of he's like the fourth tied end type guy.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: So he's also got to play some special teams. They're
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: short on linebackers. Linebackers are heavy on the special teams units.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: He's got the frame of a linebacker, so there's a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: lot of possibilities there. I don't think, like you said,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: like the caller just said, I don't think that we've
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: seen all that we're going to see from him in
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: that position. So exciting uh, exciting time for him, uh
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: for Hunter lift Gy and making the team. All right,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: let's go back phone line again, Jose and san Antonio.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: What's up, hey, Nick?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: How you doing it? I love your show.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Man, Thank you appreciate it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Man, Hey, no problem, man. My real quick question is
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: money concern with his team? Is the O line depth.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I want to hear your thongs.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: From that, and if you think if the couples possibly
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: go after any O line free agents. That's all I got, man,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Thanks a loving good look.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I appreciate that we need we
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: need the callers. You guys are bringing it today. Man,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: this is great putting my guy Chris Beam to work
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: back there, but yeah, he's he's happy to do it
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: as well. I agree. O line depth that's where I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: see issues because you're gonna need it. This is be honest,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: You're gonna need the O line depth. That's just kind
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: of the where things are. You've got guy coming back
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: from knee injury, and and Terrence Steele and uh, you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: hopefully he'll he'll be great. Tyler Biattis has been banged
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: up some at the end of last year. Tyron Smith
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: is Tyron Smith. And Zach Martin you know, he's getting
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: older as well, and now he's he's pretty reliable. But
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm just saying things. Things happen, and from six
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to nine, six to ten, and on the O line depth,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of question marks. You don't know
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: your backup center is going to be the swing tackle.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It's is it, well, let's go. He hasn't played any
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and and and neither is awesome Richards and so it's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a scary moment, is there. If there's
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to go get a guy, I would do that.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I don't teams don't cut good offensive linemen. They just
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: don't and so if they are available, they're probably over
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: forty years old Jason Peters, So like that's that's typically
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: what happens there. So anyways, let's get before we go
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: back to the call, let's get one of the text
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: line questions here. Jeff in North Carolina I says why
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: six receivers likely only see four and maybe turping on
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a jet sweep. That comes down to, you know, they
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to keep Jalen Brooks. That you keep five usually,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and then because you need five or so and Turp
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: it's a little different, but you know you need him
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: because he can play receiver and also he's a returner.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: He is your returner. And then after that it's it's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: who do you want to keep? Who do It's not
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: six receivers, it's it's the sixth receiver versus the fifth
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: linebacker or whatever. At the end of the day, they
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: wanted to keep Jalen Brooks. He'll probably will wear a
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: ball cap most of the season, he may not be
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: active a lot, but they liked what they saw. They
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: liked him. You know you're gonna see in a in
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a Deep Blue documentary. We're putting out later this week
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: called war Stories too, You're gonna see some talk and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: when they drafted Deuce Vaughan, it's probably my favorite story
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of the ten that we're putting out there. But they
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: were trying to draft Jalen Brooks in the sixth round,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: even in the fifth they kept talking about him. So
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: they really liked him a lot, and he showed out
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: at training camp and you know, he's developing and they
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: don't want to let him go. So that's really why.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to the phone lines Brian
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and l Passo. Brian, what's up? Hey?
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: Nick?
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: Just wanted to say thanks for great follow that you
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: are on Twitter, brother, and I love that you give us,
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: you know, some feedback when we do give you some
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: questions on there. But but my question for you here
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: is can you kind of talk me off the ledge.
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: I'm a little nervous with the situation of you know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: I know your stance with playing starters in the preseason,
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: but I feel like I just hope that the Cowboys,
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: I know they aren't, but I hope they aren't looking
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: past the Giants as a tough matchup on Week one,
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: especially in New York. So I just want to hang
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: up and I'll listen to your answer on that one.
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: I appreciate you taking my call.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I've I've changed my tune over the
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: years on this. And it happened in Seattle when Tony
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Romo was crunched over there and got hurt, and and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and I understand what it led to and led to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Dak coming in there, and he was he was ready
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to go, ready to roll. But but getting anybody injured
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: in a preseason game, to me, just isn't worth it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: It's just not not to me. Now, is Kansas City
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: more ready to play because Patrick Mahomes got a few
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: series here, I just don't think so. I don't think
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: that they're more ready to play. I just think the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: risk reward isn't there as much. And also, you think
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: about two weeks is between the last game and the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: first game, So anything that you got in that last
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: game or the second to last game, and you're still
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: going to be two to three weeks before the start
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: of the season, so russ can can come back into
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: play there about nobody's overlooking the Giants, no one's overlooking
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: any anybody. Any road game on Sunday night football. You'd
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: be stupid to to overlook them. The Giants. You know,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: they're they're a playoff team. They weren't on the Cowboys
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: level as far as I was concerned. And both of
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: those games that Dallas won that I thought they were
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: clearly better. Let's see if the Giant the Giants have
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: added some some some players there. Let's see if they've
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: gotten better, and they're gonna be ready to go. And
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a big time game to start
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the season. So no one's looking past them. But I
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: will say this, go back and look at the first
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: month of the season the last few years. This team
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: is ready to play. They lost to the Bucks. That's
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: one of the worst games I've seen. Last year. They
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: went back and won five in a row after that that.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: You know, the year before, same type of situation where
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: they also lost to the Bucks, and I believe they
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: won four or five in a row as well. They
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: haven't had losing seasons in September in a while. It's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: usually three and one, two and two maybe, but mostly
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: three and one. Whatever they're doing, they are ready to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: play in the first month of the season. They've got
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: their self ready to go. So I wouldn't get I
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. Please, I'll talk you off the ledge regardless.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: You don't need to be on the ledge of anything.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: But I think this team will be ready to go.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Number eleven is ready to go. And he hasn't been
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: blocked in twenty twenty three at all. So I mean
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: he should get you excited about anybody, because he's going
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to be screaming off the edge there orlands on September
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the tenth. Let's go back to the phone lines. All right, Nick,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you gotta be You're probably gonna bring a great question,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I would imagine.
• 25:12
  Speaker 12: Hey, man, thanks for the cause. Actually I've been listening
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: to you all for years. This is my first time on.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: The phone line where you're from.
• 25:19
  Speaker 12: I'm from Texas, I live around I live in South Austin.
• 25:23
  Speaker 12: Actually a little nervous, never been on the phone line before.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: A man, you're good, You're good. I appreciate, appreciate the call.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: You know, it's been a it's been a very Texas
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: or Southwest region calls. I've got San Antonio, El Paso,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, Austin, Stanford. I mean, we're all over the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: region here. So what do you got?
• 25:42
  Speaker 12: Oh? Well, the thing is I'm really impressed with our
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: rugby classes this year, Duce and I was really impressed
• 25:51
  Speaker 12: with him. I'm really bummed out about overshown. Yeah, I
• 25:56
  Speaker 12: guess my concern is about probably our life and oline.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: But I think with this.
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: New offense that we're going to run that we're gonna
• 26:09
  Speaker 12: probably be okay with that because we're getting a ball
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: out a lot quicker that having to just sit back
• 26:14
  Speaker 12: and hold it as long. My question is, boy, there's
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: a lot of questions.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I could get a lot of questions.
• 26:23
  Speaker 12: Uh, do you do you think what do you think
• 26:25
  Speaker 12: person's gonna do this year?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike, I think he's going to be. Like I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: said just now, I think he's going to be outstanding.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And Uh, I appreciate the call. Thank you so much.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Nick H. From South Austin. Again, this has been just
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: a Texas sized uh number of calls and also a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: region of calls. I think Mike is going to be
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: battling for defensive Player of the Year. I think that
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the key is going to be the players around him
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: can can the other guys because every week there are
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinators going to stay up all night long for
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: six days in a row trying to figure out how
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to stop Mike apart. But that's gonna leave somebody else open.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be with somebody else available to make plays.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Dorance Armstrong, Tank Leyton vander ash and then of course
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the guys you got in the middle. Don't forget Sam Williams,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Dante Fowler. So these other guys are gonna have opportunities
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: to make plays if they do contain Micah Parsons, And
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: like I said, I just haven't seen it so far.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Your first question about the rookies, I agree rookie class
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is still strong even without overshowing. Another text line question
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Favian from Lewisville, Texas. Which rookie that made the fifty
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: three do you expect to have the biggest impact for
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys in twenty twenty three. Deuce is an obvious
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: candidate for that. I think he's going to have a role.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll play as much. The guy
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that will probably play the most snaps. Maybe you recognize
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: it as much, maybe you don't, but it could be
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Scoonmaker because I think what he provides at the tied
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: end position, I think he will eventually get himself into
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: one of the top two guys, probably with Ferguson, I
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: think he'll play a lot. So I think Schoonmaker is
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: a guy you haven't heard a ton from him. He's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: been injured some. He'll play well. I think, you know,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I think Duce will have a role. Masi's gonna get
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: in there. He's gonna he's gonna play well. I'm trying
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: to think of some other the other draft picks. But
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: but I you know, over shown obviously uh banged up
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: there Junior for Hoko maybe not even active right away.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: They're so deep in the defensive line. Uh, they're keeping him.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's you know, it's gonna
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: be tough Eric Scott, It's gonna be tough for him
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to make uh contribution, especially with Jordan Lewis now on
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the fifty three and expected to play maybe not week one,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: but but in the first couple of weeks. So I
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I go with Douce that having a role, Mazie and
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: then and also Schoonmaker. I think those those three guys
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: will probably be the most from an impact standpoint, all right,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I think the phone lines are clear right now. Usually
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: we're in overtime right now a little bit. That's Okay,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: we roll a little bit. We have some some questions.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: As long as if Chris beams all right over there,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: we're good, ready to roll. All right. I got another
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: question from Lincoln, Texas. I mean, this is just I mean,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: this is an international show. I promise you international. You
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: can call it from anywhere. You can text from anywhere,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: from in the in the in the nation, in the world.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: But right now we were keeping it right here in Texas,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: which is fine. I mean, it's it's a big state.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of a lot of good stuff here.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: All right, Tom from Lincoln, Texas. What's the latest on
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson. Literally haven't heard anything since his injury. Thank you,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: good show, great show, he says, thank you. I appreciate that,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: all right. Donovan Wilson calf injury. Can speak from experience here.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Not easy to recover from, especially if you're a non
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: athlete like myself. But as an athlete, uh and with
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: some world class training uh and and athletic trainers that
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: they have, I think he'll he'll be finding This is
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you know, when a guy gets hurt in training camp,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the goal is set to the tenth week one. That's
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the goal. I mean get ready to play in that game.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Not return then, but get ready to ramp up to
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: play in that game. Is the only thing that matters.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: That goes back to the question about preseason and all that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: The only thing they care about is get this guy
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: ready to go. By them, you haven't heard a lot
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: from him because they're slowly getting him back in. I've
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: seen him a little bit on the cords out there.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: He's working his way back in. Hasn't returned to practice officially.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: We still have what ten days or so before the
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: first game, So I think he'll be fine. At least
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that's what I would imagine. He's had enough time to recover.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: He has not returned to practice, but he should be
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: back and ready to go. A question here from Chad
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: from Auburn, New York. Here we go. Now we're getting
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: up to the other place where the Calbaries are actually
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: going to play their first game up in New York.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Chad up there says, what's going on with Drence Armstrong?
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Have not heard anything about him all summer? Banged up
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I believe hamstring injury for him spending
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: in and out of practice some Again, he's at that
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: level you're not going to see him in the preseason.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: They're excited about what he can do. This is a
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: contract year for him. I think I don't think there's
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: any issues with him long term missing any time. I
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: think he is going to play, so wouldn't expect anything
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: different now. And he's one of those guys you want
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: him to practice because those guys need to move around too.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I say it all the time. If Mike's moving, these
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: other guys are moving too. If he's going from left
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: side to right side, that means Dorrance is going from
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: right to left or tank or whatever. So you gotta
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: practice is so important throughout the week because when they
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: install the game plan and say, all right, this is
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do with Michael, this is what we're
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: gonna do with late In, this we're gonna do with
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: these guys, everybody's got to be on the same page.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, Zach Martin missing all week
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and then just coming right back and playing right guard.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: That the defensive scheme is different. And I do think
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: that it matters for them to be there in practice.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: So hopefully Durrance and Donovan Wilson can get themselves back
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: into practice sooner than later. All right, this is Nick
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: in Long Eye Island, New York. I mean Texas and
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: New York. It's all we got right now, it's all
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: we need. Really. What number? Oh, this is a tough one, man,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I'll have this one for you. What number will Douce wear?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: What number do you think he should wear? Oh? God,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I mean he should wear two or twenty two. I
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: mean that's what he should wear. Okay, because his name
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: is Deuce. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm saying that's
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: what he should wear. I'm not saying give it to him.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: But you know number two, which is Jordan Lewis's number,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: number twenty two, that's what a guy named Deuce should wear.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: It's what he wore in college all that. But I'm
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: not suggesting that they give that. It doesn't matter if
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I am, because I know Mike McCord, the longtime equipment
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: manager over there. He would rather, you know, rather be
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: in a fistfight than to give up number twenty two,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: especially to a running back not happening. What number should
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: he wear? He's probably gonna wear forty two. I think
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: he's gonna stick with that. Forty three was the number
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: that's been talked about. They didn't want to give it
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to him because of sprolls. They thought maybe he just
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: don't put the pressure on him. Now Lipkey's made the team.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Lipkey's moving, we'll find all these
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: jersey numbers are gonna be they're moving in. There's a
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: domino effect, all right. They cut Kelvin Joseph, he's number one.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of guys want that number. Brandon Aubrey was
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: number one. I think they're gonna move him to a
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: different maybe one in the teams, and then it's just
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be a domino. The guy's gonna want that. Whoever
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: gets number one and his numbers open, and so it'll
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a crazy thing. I don't have that
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: one for you. And it'll probably be Thursday or Friday
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: before the dust settles on the roster and most importantly
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the numbers. But I can tell you some people that
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: are that are really waiting on pins and needles about it.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: And that's the people in the pro shop because they
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: want to know exactly what number that Deuce Vaughn is
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: gonna wear, because there will be some some jerseys printed out.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: He's he's a fan favorite already, and why not. He
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: makes plays. He's the same height as a lot of fans.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean, I'm just saying he
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: people can relate to him, and here's a guy that
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: you want to root for. He's just an outstanding person,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: comes from a great family, worked so hard, He's earned
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: everything he's got. And like I said before, War Stories
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Too documentary in a Deep Blue it's our fourth one.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: It comes out tomorrow night. The trailer should be hitting
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: here in thirty minutes or so. On the website you'll
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: see a trailer for it. We've got ten stories, Deuce
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: is one of them. So we're really excited about that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: And that'll just lead me to another thing that I
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: want to say. You know, I might break my arm,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: patted myself in the back and our team here, but
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: this week we really we kicked ass. I mean, there's
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: no other way to say it. I mean, we racked
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: up with some the Emmy Awards, I mean the Lone
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Star Emmys. We won eleven categories, twenty five people or so.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: We're able to bring home a trophy. Some people like myself.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I brought home one. Other people brought home seven but
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I mean either either way, we had some guys that
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: guys and girls that did great, great work. Our documentary
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: from last year twenty four to seven coverage with Trayvon
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Diggs and Everson Wallas is still my favorite that I've
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: ever been a part of. Well a tide, sorry, tied
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: with Cold Shoulder because Chris Beam and I worked on that,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: and he's listening right now. I don't want him to
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: fight me. That's a tide, But no, those those really
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: were my favorite ones, and I love him and I'm
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: not trying to give his number away. So but but
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: we're excited to win. I was able to get an
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Emmy for that one, and we had so many more.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, we had some great, great work guys that
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: that just that really works so hard and we're able
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: to be rewarded. So excited about that. It keeps us going,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: keeps us driving for more, which is what we continue
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: to do and is what we did today. Ten minutes
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of overtime. I think we're good there. We're probably gonna
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: little stop it. At that point, got great questions on
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the text line, didn't get all of them, but the
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: phone and we asked for some calls. I tweeted out,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm calling on the callers, and you guys
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: came through and I really appreciate it. This is what
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: this show is. It's gonna it's gonna thrive on on
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the callers. I love talking to you guys. And who's
• 36:04

• 36:07
  Speaker 1: down the challenge. Now we're gonna we're gonna do a
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: little trivia back and forth. And that's something I want
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: to do. I want I want callers to come in,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: give me a random guy, random cowboy. There's probably a
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: great story related with that and also brings back some
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: some great memories of over the years and names that
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: sometimes you forget about. So uh but yeah, well you
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: know what, you know what, we gotta we got a
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: phone line that's calling. We're not gonna hang up on anybody.

• 36:37
  Speaker 1: gonna say hello. That's what happens. I'm gonna talk to
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the guy. All right. Cowboys storyline. This is Nick, You're live.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick eat Man?
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: This is George cars Gilbert Arizona.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: What is up, man, how are you pretty good?
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: Pretty good?
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: Long time follower from you then, Valley Ranch.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, appreciate it. I hope you still do you still
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: read it? You still read this stuff?
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, you made it sound like go past.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: All right, what do you got? Man? You're the last
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: collar of the show, So close it out for us.
• 37:08
  Speaker 11: I'll take it.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, what in your opinion? What kind of deck do.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: We need to succeed?
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: Do we need the rookie I guess what people would
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: say the bus driver dak this year.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: To get us to get us over the hump? Or
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: do we need aggressive putting up four hundred yards and.
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: Throwing the ball everywhere? Which one?
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: Which one is going to be successful for this team?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I'll listen to you. Okay. I'm always that guy that's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm sorry, I'm that guy. Okay, you get me
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: two options, I'm asking for a third and and I'm
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm I'm gonna tweak your two your your two
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: choices there because I think there's somewhere in between. We
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: don't need the guy to put up four hundred yards
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: passing that that's not what you need all the time.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: You want to have the ability to do it if
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: there is a shootout. Uh, bus driver, You know I
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I don't hate the term bus driver. To me, I'm
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: fine with that. There's times, like I've said, there's times
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: you need to just drive down a school zone and
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: go twenty miles an hour. There's sometimes you have to
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: take the kids to a game and you get on
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the hov lane and you're going seventy miles. That's it.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: The number one goal for a bus driver is to
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: not hit a kid. Okay, that's what a bus driver
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: is supposed to. Don't hit anyone. Okay. Same with football.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Don't turn the ball over, don't make mistakes, don't do that.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Not to say those are the same, but you know
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: what I mean. Play with me on the analogy. But
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: so be safe with the football and be smart in
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: your decisions. So to me, Dak Prescott needs to be
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: like the guy who was at Mississippi State, and the
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: guy was early in his your career with the Cowboys,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: run when it's there, don't be afraid. Don't think about contract,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: don't think about the injury you had against the Giants.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Don't think about that stuff. Be a football player that
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: plays quarterback, not a quarterback, try to be one of
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks in the league and all that. Be
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: a football player. If you're a football player that goes
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: out and does that dive and flipping over the zone
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and all that in Arizona, doing those things like you
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: did a few years ago, If you're that guy, that's
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: what the Cowboys need. Be smart when it's time to
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: be smart, be aggressive when it's time to be aggressive.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Just be a football player that plays quarterback. If he's that,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are good enough to win. All right.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: That is all the time we have for you here
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: we went over We appreciate that. Great calls, great text.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: By far my favorite show that I've been doing, you
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: know here in this month and a half that we've
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: been doing. The storyline, this was an outstanding This was
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: what I envisioned and I really appreciated. Can't wait to
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: do it again Friday. It's going to be at eleven
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: o'clock Friday, different time, and then once we get to
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: next week, it is going to be the same time
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: every day, ten o'clock am Central Time. So I understand
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: that the different times kind of change things up a
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: little bit, but can't wait to get started. We got
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: one more show this week Friday at eleven. I want
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: to hear from you guys, and we will see you
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: then on Cowboys Storyline.
• 39:57
  Speaker 10: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
