- 1:27Speaker 1: ninety seven. We start off today with the first time caller,
- 1:29Speaker 1: Carl in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
- 1:32Speaker 3: What's up, hey, Nick? How you doing, man?
- 1:35Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
- 1:36Speaker 3: Man?
- 1:36Speaker 4: I'm a little nervous.
- 1:38Speaker 5: Nah, I don't I've never called in one leaves.
- 1:40Speaker 1: It for right. Have you ever talked on the phone before?
- 1:44Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 1:44Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Well then that's all we're doing. Man, what's up?
- 1:46Speaker 4: What's up, Carl? I'm doing all right. So I grew
- 1:50Speaker 4: up and I've been grew up, and I grew up
- 1:52Speaker 4: in Grand Prairie, Texas, went to high school in Grand Prairie,
- 1:55Speaker 4: played football since I was six years old. What played
- 1:58Speaker 4: all the way through high school? Just give you a background,
- 2:01Speaker 4: and I'm just thinking to myself, my dad and I
- 2:03Speaker 4: watch football. My dad up until he died. He knew
- 2:06Speaker 4: every high school player in the stadium where he went
- 2:08Speaker 4: to college where he endet up. That's our levels of
- 2:12Speaker 4: football enthusiasm.
- 2:14Speaker 1: N love it.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Now.
- 2:18Speaker 2: I do not.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Understand, Nick.
- 2:20Speaker 4: I've been watching the boys play for a long time
- 2:24Speaker 4: and we're talking about I watched listen to other programs
- 2:27Speaker 4: with ESPN, maybe the other podcasters, and they're like, oh man,
- 2:31Speaker 4: all players just suck. And I'm confused by this. And
- 2:37Speaker 4: the reason why is because we're talking about the most
- 2:41Speaker 4: elite players to ever play football in the world. Yeah,
- 2:49Speaker 4: and they don't UNDERSTANDY can't play fundamental football. I don't understand.
- 2:53Speaker 4: It helped me understand why the most elite players, even
- 2:57Speaker 4: the third stream runner back on the war team on
- 3:00Speaker 4: the NFL, is the best player anybody even heard of
- 3:05Speaker 4: in high school? Why aren't they better?
- 3:10Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's all. It's all relative, right, I mean,
- 3:13Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like it it's all I mean,
- 3:17Speaker 1: people are if you're six foot tall in junior high,
- 3:20Speaker 1: you're the tallest person ever. And if they put you
- 3:22Speaker 1: in the NBA, you're you're you're the shortest. I mean.
- 3:24Speaker 1: So yeah, that they were great, But everybody keeps moving up.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Everybody moves up. These players are moving up, and and
- 3:32Speaker 1: here they are in the NFL. And it's all it's
- 3:34Speaker 1: all got to come together. I mean, it's got to
- 3:36Speaker 1: the coaches, the system, the players, their work ethic, all
- 3:40Speaker 1: of it's gotta gotta come together. And and what it
- 3:42Speaker 1: is right now is they're an average football team, a
- 3:45Speaker 1: little bit below average. They'll probably be average after Monday night,
- 3:47Speaker 1: but they're a little bit below average. That's what this
- 3:49Speaker 1: team is. So I don't know, maybe I'm not understanding
- 3:53Speaker 1: your question.
- 3:54Speaker 4: I guess I'm just frustrated. Yeah, because I understand that,
- 3:58Speaker 4: because I don't believe they're not good players. I just
- 4:00Speaker 4: don't believe that.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Well, yeah, yeah, of course they're Yeah, yeah, they are good. Yeah,
- 4:04Speaker 1: they're all good players. Everybody, everybody, practice squad player is
- 4:07Speaker 1: a good player. The guys that are that are good
- 4:09Speaker 1: in college right now that are not going to make
- 4:11Speaker 1: it in the NFL, those guys are good players. So yeah, yeah,
- 4:14Speaker 1: relatively to the world, they're good players. But this is
- 4:17Speaker 1: the elite of the elite, you know what I mean.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I mean this is yeah, this is it exactly. It's
- 4:22Speaker 1: not good players. It's just the combination of everything that's
- 4:25Speaker 1: happened with with this coaching staff, these players and getting
- 4:29Speaker 1: it all together, and and and you know that their
- 4:32Speaker 1: defense is just not good at all.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so it's so frustrating. Now I have one
- 4:38Speaker 4: more question. Okay, and this is a basic football question.
- 4:42Speaker 4: So when it's third down and three third down and
- 4:45Speaker 4: six third down and eight fourth down into whatever we're doing.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Why aren't our receivers going to the sticks and getting
- 4:54Speaker 4: the first down? Why are we thrown underneath the first
- 4:57Speaker 4: down marker? I don't understand that.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Yeah, well they don't think the only thing I could
- 5:01Speaker 1: say to that is do they have the time to
- 5:02Speaker 1: get there? Third and three, third and four? Sure, they
- 5:05Speaker 1: should be fine, And I wouldn't think you would run
- 5:09Speaker 1: a route short of that. But you know, third and
- 5:12Speaker 1: eleven and you and your guy gets seven yards and
- 5:15Speaker 1: it turns around, and you know that's that's mainly maybe
- 5:18Speaker 1: because they the offensive line is not blocking well enough
- 5:22Speaker 1: to get you that far. That happens too, you know,
- 5:26Speaker 1: that happened in this last game, where you know, like,
- 5:28Speaker 1: why aren't they throwing deep? They can't get there, they
- 5:31Speaker 1: can't get.
- 5:32Speaker 4: The so on the third and manageable. I just feel
- 5:36Speaker 4: like every route should go to the sticks.
- 5:39Speaker 1: You know, it's true. I mean, I'm not saying that
- 5:41Speaker 1: you're wrong, But if it's third and eleven, where do
- 5:45Speaker 1: you think and they're playing off coverage, where do you
- 5:48Speaker 1: think that the cornerbacks and safeties are stopping it's probably
- 5:51Speaker 1: about eleven yards ten, you know what I mean. So
- 5:53Speaker 1: they're giving you underneath and that's that's the inviting play,
- 5:57Speaker 1: and it's up to the receiver. They got to fight
- 6:00Speaker 1: through that, they gotta get they got to figure out
- 6:02Speaker 1: a way to get past that, and the line's got
- 6:04Speaker 1: a block long enough and all that. So yeah, it's
- 6:06Speaker 1: a it's a frustrating thing. I mean, it happens a lot,
- 6:09Speaker 1: but it's kind of like we're giving you that, we're
- 6:11Speaker 1: baiting you that, and we're gonna go make the tackle,
- 6:14Speaker 1: and you know that's that's kind of that's kind of
- 6:17Speaker 1: the play. But all right, all right, Carl, it was
- 6:19Speaker 1: good talking to you. Man.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Hey man, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, maybe I'll
- 6:23Speaker 4: call back, maybe I won't. And I'm just frustrated, but.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I know that's that's the theme right there, and thanks Carl.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Uh.
- 6:30Speaker 1: There's gonna be people with different names, different cities, different states,
- 6:34Speaker 1: different time zones, but the frustration is something that everybody
- 6:39Speaker 1: has and that's something that's why you guys are kind
- 6:41Speaker 1: of united here. That's right, man. He didn't get his
- 6:45Speaker 1: first time caller, all right, Steve, He's in Newport, Washington.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Steve Hello, how you doing.
- 6:51Speaker 7: I know you're doing good.
- 6:53Speaker 8: I'm doing good.
- 6:53Speaker 7: Everybody's doing good.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Love it.
- 6:56Speaker 8: Yep.
- 6:56Speaker 7: I'm the one that told you before that. You know,
- 6:59Speaker 7: we got five points to the Star and we've got
- 7:02Speaker 7: five super Bowls. We're not going to We're not going
- 7:05Speaker 7: to get another super Bowl. And so we had another
- 7:07Speaker 7: point to the Star because we're full.
- 7:11Speaker 5: Uh.
- 7:12Speaker 7: I know.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Uh.
- 7:13Speaker 7: I got a couple of comments and then a question.
- 7:16Speaker 7: I got, uh, who'd have thought that this this point
- 7:20Speaker 7: in the season that the Baltimore Ravens would have a
- 7:23Speaker 7: worse record than the Cowboys. It wouldn't have believed that.
- 7:28Speaker 7: And then also I knew we'd be better than the
- 7:31Speaker 7: Dolphins because uh, at least our coach wears long pants
- 7:35Speaker 7: and does wear those cute little capris like the Dolphins
- 7:39Speaker 7: coach does. Anyway, the uh uh like question would be
- 7:46Speaker 7: what are we going to do about Diggs? I'm thinking
- 7:49Speaker 7: that he's not playing up to his massive contracts. You
- 7:54Speaker 7: know that he's got I don't know that we'd be
- 7:57Speaker 7: able to trade him if he's on eye are I
- 8:00Speaker 7: don't know if that's a possibility, if we ever want
- 8:03Speaker 7: to trade him, or is that something that's gonna have
- 8:05Speaker 7: to wait till next year. If he doesn't play in
- 8:07Speaker 7: as many games as he plays in this year. I
- 8:12Speaker 7: just kind of think he's lost his motivation and maybe
- 8:15Speaker 7: it's time to cut bait with that player.
- 8:18Speaker 1: There's a lot going on, a lot going on with
- 8:20Speaker 1: Diggs for sure. Yeah, all right, going.
- 8:24Speaker 3: And then the score.
- 8:29Speaker 7: Probably forty three to forty with Aubrey kicking a field
- 8:32Speaker 7: goals in the last minute, maybe whoever has the ball
- 8:35Speaker 7: last yeah wins. Yeah, it's coming.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. A lot of points going to be
- 8:42Speaker 1: scored in this game, there's no doubt. All right, all right,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Steve appreciated, Thank you. I'll try to tell that was it,
- 8:48Speaker 1: all right.
- 8:48Speaker 7: I'll listen to your answers offline.
- 8:50Speaker 1: All right, thanks, thanks Steve. You know, the Digs one
- 8:53Speaker 1: is a I mean, that's a tough situation to even
- 8:58Speaker 1: try to dissect because there's a lot happening behind the scenes,
- 9:04Speaker 1: and you know, obviously they the Cowboys, want him to
- 9:09Speaker 1: handle his business a certain way, and that that was
- 9:11Speaker 1: that stemmed from, you know, the offseason where he didn't
- 9:15Speaker 1: rehab here and and and the Cowboys, you know, exercise
- 9:19Speaker 1: the clause in his contract where they could get you know,
- 9:22Speaker 1: half a million dollars from him, and and you know
- 9:25Speaker 1: that's that's that's part of it. That's part of the contract.
- 9:30Speaker 1: And that's that's another thing. And you know you said
- 9:32Speaker 1: something here, Steve Abody's lost his motivation. I mean, that's
- 9:36Speaker 1: if that's the case. I mean, you don't know if
- 9:38Speaker 1: that's the case, I don't know, nobody really knows that.
- 9:41Speaker 1: But you know, that's that's the that's the pressures of
- 9:45Speaker 1: giving these high dollar contracts to these guys is because
- 9:50Speaker 1: you know, you hear contract year, contract year, that kind
- 9:54Speaker 1: of stuff. But what happens after that? What happens when
- 9:56Speaker 1: you get the contract? Then what's the motivation? Because the
- 9:59Speaker 1: motivation is high school guys is to get that D
- 10:01Speaker 1: one contract, and D one guys want to get drafted,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and then you know in college, you know, you want
- 10:05Speaker 1: to get drafted and you get drafted, you want to
- 10:07Speaker 1: get that second contract and all that. Then what I
- 10:10Speaker 1: mean's what's the motivation there? Because if you want to say,
- 10:14Speaker 1: to win a championship and all that, that should be
- 10:16Speaker 1: the answer. It's not always the answer. And so that's
- 10:21Speaker 1: what that's what the big worry is. That's there was
- 10:23Speaker 1: worry from the Cowboys about Micah Parsons on that what's
- 10:26Speaker 1: going to happen after that? How he's not working that
- 10:28Speaker 1: hard here, you know, but he doesn't have to because
- 10:31Speaker 1: he is such a freak of an athlete. But what
- 10:33Speaker 1: happens when that changes and your work ethic is is
- 10:37Speaker 1: what you need to kind of keep going on. That's
- 10:40Speaker 1: what the worry was. I'm not saying the Cowboys weren't
- 10:42Speaker 1: trying to do it and sign them and all that,
- 10:44Speaker 1: but there's fear with every player of what happens after that.
- 10:47Speaker 1: So if that's the case with Diggs, that's sad. If
- 10:50Speaker 1: it's happening, I mean, I still think he's got some
- 10:53Speaker 1: left in the tank. Well we see it here. I
- 10:56Speaker 1: don't know that. There's so many other little variables about
- 10:58Speaker 1: his contract about what they can do. Will they be
- 11:01Speaker 1: on ir? Will he stay on IR? Do you get
- 11:03Speaker 1: some kind of insurance back if he if he's injured
- 11:06Speaker 1: all year? There's a lot, there's a lot going on
- 11:08Speaker 1: to that, but it doesn't seem like we're going to
- 11:12Speaker 1: see a lot more football from Trayvon with the Cowboys.
- 11:15Speaker 1: If any. That's sad because I think he's still your
- 11:19Speaker 1: best cornerback especially when it comes to just Manda man coverage,
- 11:24Speaker 1: and this team needs that desperately. So when you you know,
- 11:27Speaker 1: when it's just like having a pass pressure and trading
- 11:30Speaker 1: him away, you know this is what you need and
- 11:32Speaker 1: he's right there, but you're not getting it and that's frustrating.
- 11:35Speaker 1: All right, Sergeant Stewing for Worth is next.
- 11:37Speaker 9: And everybody, how you doing?
- 11:39Speaker 1: Hey good? How are you great?
- 11:40Speaker 5: Hey?
- 11:41Speaker 9: I just want to shout that first caller out, man,
- 11:43Speaker 9: thanks so much for calling. Don't be shy. It is
- 11:45Speaker 9: like a it is like a phone call. Nick's a
- 11:47Speaker 9: really cool guy. I'm trying to tell you guys, don't
- 11:49Speaker 9: be shy to call in man man a little bit.
- 11:51Speaker 9: It's a little nervous at times, but it's not bad.
- 11:54Speaker 9: And I do want touch on some of the things
- 11:55Speaker 9: that he said, and I did like his call a lot.
- 11:57Speaker 9: He was frustrated about the fundamentals of these of these athletes.
- 12:01Speaker 9: And what I always try to remember is, like I
- 12:04Speaker 9: I mean, Nick, you've seen me in person. I'm not
- 12:06Speaker 9: a tall guy. I had a big heart, and I
- 12:08Speaker 9: knew the game of football. And that's the reason why
- 12:09Speaker 9: I was successful is because I understood and I did
- 12:12Speaker 9: the fundamentals the right way. A lot of these guys,
- 12:14Speaker 9: they've leaned on their athleticism their entire life. They're just
- 12:17Speaker 9: really really really great. I mean, guys like Dereck Henry have.
- 12:20Speaker 9: I mean, there's their stories about Derek Henry coming out
- 12:22Speaker 9: and being like, I don't know how to do this,
- 12:22Speaker 9: I don't know how to do that, but he was
- 12:24Speaker 9: such a freak athlete that they knew he could learn
- 12:26Speaker 9: those things. And I mean, so some of these guys
- 12:28Speaker 9: might be dealing with that. I'm not saying all of them,
- 12:29Speaker 9: but some of them might be dealing with that. And
- 12:31Speaker 9: as far as the throwing the ball before the sticks, again,
- 12:34Speaker 9: I don't know the terminology and the NFL, but whenever
- 12:36Speaker 9: I played, you know, we did cover two sticks or
- 12:39Speaker 9: cover three sticks, cover four sticks where we knew the coverage,
- 12:42Speaker 9: but we knew not to line up anywhere you know
- 12:44Speaker 9: where a DV I mean, I'm sorry, where running back
- 12:46Speaker 9: wide receiver is going to get behind us. So there's
- 12:49Speaker 9: there's calls and there's things that they make sure to
- 12:50Speaker 9: do to make sure that you stay at the sticks.
- 12:52Speaker 9: There's signals and everything like that. Okay, sorry, but on
- 12:55Speaker 9: this game, you know, the Cardinals are one of those
- 12:57Speaker 9: teams that always seem to give Dallas trouble, you know,
- 13:00Speaker 9: I mean, one of those storms in your side. And
- 13:01Speaker 9: they're currently on the losing streak. This is me, This
- 13:03Speaker 9: is me being positive. They're on a losing streak. You know,
- 13:05Speaker 9: they've been without Kyler, so he could be rusty. That
- 13:08Speaker 9: ankle could be hobbling him. Marvin Harrison Junior has dealt
- 13:11Speaker 9: with this, you know, confidence issue drops miscues. But Dallas
- 13:15Speaker 9: is still giving up, you know, thirty one points per game.
- 13:18Speaker 9: And I feel like Kyler is gonna come out and
- 13:20Speaker 9: play like his ankle was like replaced by Tony Stark,
- 13:24Speaker 9: or like Marvin Harrison Junior is gonna play like his
- 13:26Speaker 9: dad out there, you know what I mean. So I
- 13:28Speaker 9: am a little bit. I am a little bit nervous that,
- 13:30Speaker 9: you know, uh, the Cardinals might run up the score,
- 13:32Speaker 9: and I think they're gonna score thirty one points. However,
- 13:35Speaker 9: I think Dallas is gonna score thirty five. I think
- 13:38Speaker 9: Dallas is playing at home. They're pissed off, they just
- 13:40Speaker 9: got embarrassed, you know.
- 13:41Speaker 4: What I mean.
- 13:41Speaker 9: And I think I'll even go as far as Nick
- 13:43Speaker 9: to say that I think that Azaraku is going to
- 13:46Speaker 9: get something like a game winning sack, and I don't
- 13:48Speaker 9: know why. That's my delusion kicking back in. So yeah,
- 13:50Speaker 9: I'm picking Dallas thirty five to thirty one this Monday night.
- 13:53Speaker 9: Thanks for taking my call.
- 13:54Speaker 1: I am a lot of stuff there. It would be
- 13:58Speaker 1: nice for Azroku to have kind of a accout game,
- 14:00Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are waiting for that. And you know,
- 14:03Speaker 1: I keep hearing these closed He's closed. You know, we
- 14:06Speaker 1: used to call Anthony Spencer almost Anthony because he was
- 14:09Speaker 1: almost there every every single snap. It seemed like, you know,
- 14:12Speaker 1: third and eight, here he comes across the you know, uh,
- 14:15Speaker 1: you know, coming off the edge and he's almost there,
- 14:17Speaker 1: but you know, he didn't make the play. And then
- 14:20Speaker 1: he then he got to the point where he was
- 14:22Speaker 1: really good and he was a pro bowler for a
- 14:24Speaker 1: couple of years, and they gave him franchise tag a
- 14:25Speaker 1: couple of times. So he he he turned into a
- 14:28Speaker 1: really really good player. And that's kind of where whereas Araku.
- 14:31Speaker 1: You know, hopefully if he can get to that point,
- 14:33Speaker 1: that'd be a really good pick. It'd be worth the pick,
- 14:37Speaker 1: all right. I see, yeah, I see a high scoring
- 14:39Speaker 1: game thirty five thirty one. I mean that I just
- 14:42Speaker 1: probably gonna take more than that. Honestly, I mean it's
- 14:44Speaker 1: probably gonna take more than thirty five points to win
- 14:46Speaker 1: this game. Sebastian and Savannah Georgia's next Sebastian.
- 14:51Speaker 10: Good morning, Okay, how you doing? Okay year one to
- 14:59Speaker 10: say Happy Halloween, everybody. Wow, I was like, what she
- 15:04Speaker 10: heard you the first time? So in the spirit of
- 15:07Speaker 10: spooky season, we're going to go with the score thirty
- 15:09Speaker 10: one twenty eight. Okay, heard it the first two times,
- 15:13Speaker 10: twenty eight.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Once you started, though, you know it's not it's open
- 15:17Speaker 1: for the rest of the day, maybe the weekend.
- 15:19Speaker 8: So yeah, she's too.

- 15:25Speaker 10: to go. And the spirit of spooky season. I can
- 15:27Speaker 10: see that a couple of people would be scared of
- 15:28Speaker 10: the Cardinals and everything. I'm not so much. I do
- 15:31Speaker 10: think we get out of here at thirty one twenty five.
- 15:34Speaker 10: A big issue is every team that plays us is
- 15:36Speaker 10: going to play as hard as we're the Cowboys. We
- 15:37Speaker 10: don't get any breaks like anyone else did. But watching
- 15:40Speaker 10: all of their games over the week, I've noticed that
- 15:43Speaker 10: they lose it late and it's so it looks like
- 15:46Speaker 10: the weaknesses are on their defense. And what's good news is, guys,
- 15:50Speaker 10: we're not the thirty second rank defense this week. We're
- 15:52Speaker 10: the thirty first ranked defense. We're moving on.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Up, baby set.
- 15:55Speaker 10: So I'm just looking forward to a fun looking game
- 15:57Speaker 10: out here on Sunday, and you guys have a great get.
- 16:01Speaker 1: I haven't kept up with the defensive rankings. Surely they
- 16:05Speaker 1: didn't improve off of of last week's game, or somebody
- 16:11Speaker 1: must must have gotten worse. Who knows, But you know
- 16:16Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Their Cardinals are kind of the middle of
- 16:18Speaker 1: the road and everything. You know, they're like nineteenth this
- 16:21Speaker 1: and seventeenth and that. I mean, that's kind of what
- 16:24Speaker 1: they are. And then they play these close games and
- 16:25Speaker 1: I'm sure the avid Cardinals fan is saying, you know,
- 16:31Speaker 1: this play, here, this play. I mean, they're probably about
- 16:34Speaker 1: three plays, four plays away from being like six and
- 16:38Speaker 1: one I mean or something. I mean, I'm just sure
- 16:40Speaker 1: because they've had so many close games, and every close
- 16:42Speaker 1: game comes down to one play does the ball bounce
- 16:45Speaker 1: your way or does it not? And so usually those
- 16:47Speaker 1: things kind of have a way of even itself out.
- 16:50Speaker 1: And that's that would be the scary part for the
- 16:52Speaker 1: Cowboys is that is this their week to do that
- 16:54Speaker 1: for the bye week? Do they clean up a couple
- 16:56Speaker 1: of things? And they're just so close or so close.
- 16:58Speaker 1: But you know that being said, I don't think they're
- 17:02Speaker 1: dominant in anything. And the Cowboys, we've seen their offense,
- 17:05Speaker 1: especially at home, can can really rack up some points.
- 17:08Speaker 1: So it's gonna be it's gonna be one of those games.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will will score a lot of points.
- 17:13Speaker 1: They've got to figure out a way, you know, with
- 17:15Speaker 1: the extra day here, they've got to figure out a
- 17:17Speaker 1: way to get off the field. I mean they're the
- 17:19Speaker 1: worst third round, third down defense in the league and
- 17:22Speaker 1: one of the worst ever, and so that that's the
- 17:25Speaker 1: biggest change right there. They can get off the field
- 17:27Speaker 1: and punt to Turpen. I mean that could change your
- 17:30Speaker 1: field position big time. So that's why I always say
- 17:33Speaker 1: I think they are a player or two away from
- 17:36Speaker 1: from from having some big changes. I mean, if you
- 17:39Speaker 1: can get a player or two that can help you
- 17:40Speaker 1: on defense, that that can just get you off the field.
- 17:43Speaker 1: You know, it just prevented that that second and nine
- 17:46Speaker 1: run of five yards to prevent it. It was a
- 17:48Speaker 1: one yard loss. Now it's third and eleven, and you
- 17:50Speaker 1: do get off the field, and you do get off
- 17:52Speaker 1: the field, and now you got the ball, you know,
- 17:53Speaker 1: in good field position. So I don't think they're that
- 17:56Speaker 1: far away because they just need stops. We saw it
- 17:59Speaker 1: in the Washington game. And they get a lot of stops,
- 18:00Speaker 1: and they get stops. Then they go and they play
- 18:03Speaker 1: short field, they go and score a lot of points.
- 18:05Speaker 1: So getting off the field is just the biggest thing.
- 18:07Speaker 1: And you don't need, you know, a big overhaul in
- 18:10Speaker 1: your defense to do that. All right, let's go to
- 18:13Speaker 1: uh Carolina. What's up?
- 18:16Speaker 3: Man?
- 18:18Speaker 5: What's up?
- 18:19Speaker 3: Man?
- 18:20Speaker 1: Where you at?
- 18:22Speaker 5: Ben a soda? Man? I'm in Minnesota. Man. Oh, it's
- 18:26Speaker 5: all nice and play here. But anyways, it's been a while, man,
- 18:31Speaker 5: I wish I had a lot of good things to say. Man,
- 18:34Speaker 5: do you hear me?
- 18:35Speaker 1: Yeah? I hear you, Man. I was gonna say.
- 18:36Speaker 5: Pick up Lester, shout out to Lester.
- 18:41Speaker 11: Man.
- 18:41Speaker 5: I was actually gonna call that yesterday. I was gonna
- 18:44Speaker 5: say shout out to Brian and Kansas. But I was
- 18:46Speaker 5: coming to cancer.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Okay.
- 18:48Speaker 5: Anyways, right, Yeah, man, we said a lot of good
- 18:52Speaker 5: things to say. We're gonna start off with. Man, I
- 18:54Speaker 5: just can't believed the defense. Man, I don't do you
- 18:57Speaker 5: remember a time where our defense was it's bad, like
- 19:01Speaker 5: literally in the past twenty years when use.
- 19:04Speaker 1: A twenty twenty, twenty twenty was pretty bad. Yeah, twenty twenty,
- 19:09Speaker 1: I mean it was.
- 19:11Speaker 5: It was kind of rough, but at least we weren't
- 19:13Speaker 5: that bad in the back end. You know, we couldn't
- 19:16Speaker 5: stop the run, but you know, at least the coverage
- 19:19Speaker 5: wasn't that bad. I mean, look at all these blown plays. Man,
- 19:22Speaker 5: I just, oh, let's not even I don't want to
- 19:25Speaker 5: dwell on that, man, because what can we do about
- 19:28Speaker 5: it outside of mak it traded. Like you said, a
- 19:30Speaker 5: couple maybe make a difference, make you twenty, maybe copy two,
- 19:34Speaker 5: But there's I don't feel the middle of the pack.
- 19:37Speaker 5: I don't see that move making us middle of the pack.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, I think about that. I was looking at
- 19:43Speaker 1: the scores of twenty twenty and I'm like, yeah, that
- 19:46Speaker 1: that was terrible. I mean they were giving up thirty
- 19:50Speaker 1: five forty I mean just about every game, So this
- 19:53Speaker 1: is about as bad as that. And then there's no
- 19:56Speaker 1: you know, there is also a first year coach, first
- 19:58Speaker 1: year coordinator, you know, some a lot of changes in
- 20:01Speaker 1: the offseason. Of course, they were able to practice this
- 20:05Speaker 1: year without masks and all that kind of stuff, and
- 20:08Speaker 1: now you know, distancing and all. So can't compare anything
- 20:11Speaker 1: to twenty twenty. I don't know, I don't know how.
- 20:14Speaker 1: I mean, it's bad. I mean, it's just it's it's
- 20:16Speaker 1: bad on its own and and you know, but you know,
- 20:20Speaker 1: you know, you knew it was going to be. I mean, like,
- 20:22Speaker 1: let's not sit aar and go, well, you know, this
- 20:24Speaker 1: team has one really really dynamic player and they traded
- 20:29Speaker 1: them away, and now we're wondering why the defense isn't
- 20:32Speaker 1: so good, you know, I mean, and that's that should
- 20:34Speaker 1: be everybody. And blame the Cowboys too, for for thinking
- 20:38Speaker 1: that they could make it work this year without it
- 20:41Speaker 1: and without him, right, and it's it's not. Let's let's
- 20:45Speaker 1: all be surprised. I mean, I think I think everyone
- 20:48Speaker 1: thought it could be better than this, but I mean
- 20:50Speaker 1: it's it's definitely not, and and it doesn't look like
- 20:54Speaker 1: it's going to be. I don't think Overshown's gonna come
- 20:56Speaker 1: save the day. I think he'll help, but I don't
- 20:57Speaker 1: think he'll save the day.
- 20:59Speaker 5: But you know what scares me though, Man about this
- 21:02Speaker 5: Monday coming up, he scares me. I'm not even gonna
- 21:07Speaker 5: lie to you. He scares me because the defense, this
- 21:11Speaker 5: is just defense. Like I don't I'm not scared of
- 21:13Speaker 5: his offense, like I'm scared of our defense against him,
- 21:17Speaker 5: like his legs, the legs. For me, it's like, I'm like,
- 21:20Speaker 5: it's about to be a Bears game again. I'm just
- 21:21Speaker 5: crossing my fingers and saying, Dag, believe me. Whatever you
- 21:25Speaker 5: can do, yeah, to save this game. If you don't,
- 21:28Speaker 5: I mean, like that's the only wins. If Dad comes
- 21:31Speaker 5: out and they play lights the office, Yeah, because it's
- 21:34Speaker 5: gonna be a shout whether anybody wants to believe it.
- 21:37Speaker 5: We're gonna be at home. I mean, I just don't.
- 21:41Speaker 5: I don't stee us get together and I'm gonna say, man,
- 21:45Speaker 5: cowboy's fight and the words of the old school. How
- 21:50Speaker 5: about them cowboys?

- 24:06Speaker 1: go to call her here in Arizona Jr. And Avondale, Arizona's.
- 24:10Speaker 8: Next Born and Nick Happy Halloween. Thank you, Yeah everyone,
- 24:15Speaker 8: if anyone's out there, you'll be safe tonight. So I
- 24:22Speaker 8: wanted to talk about I said the best team won
- 24:26Speaker 8: last week in the Broncos, and I think the best
- 24:29Speaker 8: team's gonna win this week. I don't know if that's
- 24:32Speaker 8: my inner cowboy coming out. I think Cowboys win this
- 24:34Speaker 8: game for thirty one. I think it's a close game,
- 24:39Speaker 8: and I think I think Aubrey is gonna have a
- 24:44Speaker 8: long field of little over sixty yards to kind of
- 24:47Speaker 8: stretch out a little bit. So my biggest sure about
- 24:50Speaker 8: this game is that Cardinals are coming up of bye week,
- 24:54Speaker 8: Murray's coming back, Marvin Harrison has not had a good year,
- 25:00Speaker 8: and we have Elm playing cornerback course and I just want,
- 25:06Speaker 8: I hope they don't let that guy get gone, and
- 25:09Speaker 8: and you know they're gonna have to deal with McBride.
- 25:11Speaker 8: I get that, but don't let Marvin Harrison get going
- 25:14Speaker 8: because he's gonna kill us. And I don't know what
- 25:16Speaker 8: the answer is. I maybe you'd rather see Bridges out
- 25:19Speaker 8: there maybe than Elam. He's teams that targeted him over
- 25:24Speaker 8: and over and he's just not getting it done. And
- 25:27Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't mean the bag on him
- 25:29Speaker 8: or what the solution is, but he do something. Not
- 25:32Speaker 8: let Marvin Harrison get rolling on us. I Uh, I
- 25:37Speaker 8: think I'm just talking about the defensive something I was
- 25:39Speaker 8: thinking about last night. I don't think we're talking enough
- 25:41Speaker 8: about how much the defense missus. The Marcus Lawrence missus tank.
- 25:46Speaker 8: I think he brought something to the defense that nobody
- 25:49Speaker 8: else has this year. And I know he's injured a lot,
- 25:53Speaker 8: but watching him play, he still can play, and I
- 25:56Speaker 8: think we miss him a lot. So that that's all
- 26:00Speaker 8: I got, except that I wanted to see if you
- 26:02Speaker 8: could update some on some of these guys that are
- 26:05Speaker 8: out injured. Perry on Winfrey. I kind of forgot about
- 26:09Speaker 8: him and I saw him on the injury report on the.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Yeah last night, he could be back.
- 26:15Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I think I think he would help.
- 26:17Speaker 5: What about Phil MafA.
- 26:18Speaker 8: I'd like to see him get in there and relieve
- 26:21Speaker 8: Williams a little bit with some more power running in
- 26:24Speaker 8: Butler on the corner. And that's all I got. Have
- 26:28Speaker 8: a great day and go COWBOYD.
- 26:29Speaker 1: All right, All right, oh man, I have a pen
- 26:33Speaker 1: and I should be writing stuff down. I mean, when
- 26:35Speaker 1: a caller has like nine points, I should be putting
- 26:38Speaker 1: it down. All I remember is MafA. I don't think
- 26:41Speaker 1: he's going to be playing. Uh sorry laugh if you
- 26:47Speaker 1: saw Chris run off, so I guess we're not going
- 26:50Speaker 1: to callers here. All right. That's a good caller to
- 26:52Speaker 1: talk about.
- 26:53Speaker 5: Jr.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Had a lot of points. I think that that Mafa's
- 26:58Speaker 1: on I R. I don't think. I don't see him
- 26:59Speaker 1: coming back anytime soon. He could, but uh, you know
- 27:03Speaker 1: they're gonna keep getting Jayden Blew the ball as the
- 27:07Speaker 1: second back there, Winfree should be able to help their
- 27:10Speaker 1: defensive tackle. I mean, this windows open. He's practicing. We'll
- 27:13Speaker 1: see if he's able to play. I know the center,
- 27:16Speaker 1: Cooper Bebes, you know, got a good chance to play
- 27:20Speaker 1: this week. The guy I'm looking at to come back
- 27:22Speaker 1: soon would be Malik Hooker at safety. It'll probably be
- 27:25Speaker 1: after the bye for him. But you know you mentioned
- 27:28Speaker 1: the cornerback and Elam and Bridges guys. It's the pass
- 27:34Speaker 1: rush has just been so awful. There's no pass rush.
- 27:37Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I mean, Elam, these guys can be
- 27:40Speaker 1: good corners if you if you gave them some time
- 27:43Speaker 1: I mean, or actually take away the time. That's the problem.
- 27:48Speaker 1: They have too much time to sit there and try
- 27:49Speaker 1: to cover. They they have to They have to get
- 27:53Speaker 1: to the quarterback faster. And and these guys, it doesn't
- 27:57Speaker 1: matter who it is, I mean, the best corner in
- 27:58Speaker 1: the league. I don't care certans out there name name
- 28:02Speaker 1: the other two three best corners in the league. If
- 28:05Speaker 1: they don't have any pass rush, they're not going to
- 28:07Speaker 1: be good at all. Those guys are gonna give up plays.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Deon would have given up plays if you didn't have
- 28:12Speaker 1: anyone getting to the quarterback, and eventually, you know, the
- 28:15Speaker 1: better ones are obviously can hang in there a little
- 28:16Speaker 1: bit longer. But that's just been the biggest problem of
- 28:19Speaker 1: this team. And so until they fix that, it doesn't
- 28:22Speaker 1: matter who your corners are. Really. I mean, oh, they're
- 28:24Speaker 1: picking on elim they're picking on bridges because the quarterbacks
- 28:27Speaker 1: sitting there deciding, you know, I mean, Goes gets back
- 28:30Speaker 1: to pass. He looks first read, second read, balances the checkbook,
- 28:36Speaker 1: third read makes the throw, you know, and if you're
- 28:39Speaker 1: young enough, you don't even know what that is. People
- 28:41Speaker 1: don't balance the check book anymore. But I mean, that's
- 28:43Speaker 1: that's what these quarterbacks have enough time to do. All right.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Brian in Kansas City, Brian, what's up?
- 28:49Speaker 6: Good morning, sir, How are you. I just heard Carolina's horn.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Yeah, oh he was coming through. He was coming to get.
- 28:56Speaker 6: You, That's what he said. Man, that's good stuff. Man, guys,
- 29:00Speaker 6: you never know him and Ali, you just never.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Know where you know where they're gonna be. That's right,
- 29:05Speaker 1: They're all over the place.
- 29:07Speaker 14: Oh man, hey, listen, I wrote these down so I
- 29:09Speaker 14: could do it real fast.
- 29:10Speaker 6: But I was gonna play your dad game and give
- 29:12Speaker 6: it my all time defense.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Okay, all right, here we.
- 29:16Speaker 14: Go up front, Haley too Tall, Randy and Bob Lily
- 29:20Speaker 14: in the linebacking Crew Hollywood, Sean Lee, Ken Norton in
- 29:25Speaker 14: the DBS, Dion Everson, Woobany and mel renfro Nice.
- 29:31Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 29:32Speaker 6: Yeah, couldn't lose, but that one, could you?
- 29:35Speaker 5: Kid?
- 29:36Speaker 1: Norton gets a lot of love.
- 29:38Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 29:38Speaker 6: Well, you know, I think it's that goal line stand,
- 29:41Speaker 6: you know, and you just that's that highlight has been
- 29:44Speaker 6: played so many times. But it's a great stop. I mean,
- 29:49Speaker 6: what the hell.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Did I did a top ten list one time of
- 29:52Speaker 1: the top ten plays in Cowboys history that weren't touchdowns,
- 29:56Speaker 1: and that one is like number four or five on
- 29:58Speaker 1: the list, you know, because was it meant so much
- 30:01Speaker 1: for that game?
- 30:02Speaker 8: Uh?
- 30:03Speaker 1: Just the way the way he stopped And basically it
- 30:05Speaker 1: was one of those like we're bigger than you were,
- 30:07Speaker 1: stronger than you were, better than you, and we're gonna
- 30:09Speaker 1: win and it doesn't matter where you are in the field.
- 30:10Speaker 1: That Cowboys are just better than you today. And that's
- 30:13Speaker 1: kind of the way that game played out.
- 30:15Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no kidding, that's that was a hell of
- 30:19Speaker 6: a team. Yeah, I was sorry to see him go
- 30:22Speaker 6: switch switch side the boy for the two years, those
- 30:25Speaker 6: two years he was you know, for those two Super Bowls.
- 30:28Speaker 6: He was something for us, I'll say it. At yeah,
- 30:31Speaker 6: so hey, So I was just curious and I asked
- 30:35Speaker 6: being this too, what you know, just I know for
- 30:39Speaker 6: Monday night football because I've been to only one, but
- 30:42Speaker 6: I've been to one Monday night football game in my life,
- 30:45Speaker 6: and you know, the environment's different because there's so much
- 30:48Speaker 6: more attention.
- 30:48Speaker 3: It's the only game on you know, that sort of thing.
- 30:51Speaker 6: I was curious if it's anything different for you than
- 30:54Speaker 6: a Sunday game. And I'll hang up and listen to
- 30:57Speaker 6: that one. My score is thirty six thirty for the
- 31:01Speaker 6: Cowboys will win because we're at home. That seems to
- 31:03Speaker 6: be that.
- 31:04Speaker 8: Yeah, it seems to be the theme.
- 31:05Speaker 6: We win when we're at home. All right, man, good
- 31:07Speaker 6: to talk to you.
- 31:08Speaker 1: All right, Well, I mean Monday night football. I mean
- 31:13Speaker 1: it's not you know, it's a night game, and so
- 31:16Speaker 1: it should be you know, it's fun. Good atmosphere should
- 31:19Speaker 1: be electric, no reason why, you know, fans aren't there,
- 31:22Speaker 1: and there's heats and ready to rock and all that.
- 31:24Speaker 1: But for me personally, you know, the only difference is
- 31:26Speaker 1: this personal stuff is just you know, I mean, yeah,
- 31:29Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. This show starts at ten o'clock
- 31:31Speaker 1: every morning, and my daughter's school has a ten thirty
- 31:34Speaker 1: lunch and she doesn't understand why I can never eat
- 31:37Speaker 1: lunch with her. But on Monday of that Monday night game,
- 31:39Speaker 1: I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there
- 31:41Speaker 1: to have lunch with her because we don't have a
- 31:42Speaker 1: show that day. So I've known this for a while.
- 31:45Speaker 1: So that's the big difference for me is I'll be
- 31:47Speaker 1: able to have lunch with my daughter and my son,
- 31:49Speaker 1: I guess for that day and then we go about
- 31:52Speaker 1: two o'clock. Now the next day when I come back
- 31:56Speaker 1: and you know, at the house at three am and
- 31:58Speaker 1: we're here doing in the show and take the kids
- 32:01Speaker 1: to school at seven am, you know, I might not
- 32:04Speaker 1: have had the same kind of energy for Tuesday. So
- 32:06Speaker 1: it would be nice to have it win and everybody
- 32:08Speaker 1: calling and you know, and uh, you know, getting pumped
- 32:11Speaker 1: about things and stuff like that. But so it's just
- 32:14Speaker 1: it's just personal stuff on the difference of between the
- 32:16Speaker 1: Monday night games.
- 32:17Speaker 8: Uh.
- 32:17Speaker 1: For for me, that's which is what you ask as
- 32:20Speaker 1: for being at the stadium. It's just you know, it's
- 32:21Speaker 1: just a night game and you know we're there early,
- 32:24Speaker 1: and you know it's good, good atmosphere, and you're not
- 32:28Speaker 1: facing a team that has a ton of road fans.
- 32:30Speaker 1: You know, the Cardinals don't travel a whole lot. They
- 32:32Speaker 1: don't have a lot of fans to their own stadium,
- 32:34Speaker 1: so uh, you know, it's not one where it'll be
- 32:36Speaker 1: you know, it'll be a tough to tough crowd to
- 32:38Speaker 1: go up against and all that. It should be a
- 32:40Speaker 1: true home game. Cowboys should go out and they play
- 32:42Speaker 1: like we've seen them play. They you know, at home,
- 32:44Speaker 1: they should be able to be in good shape. All right,
- 32:46Speaker 1: let's go to Greg and Sacramento. Hey, good Greg, how
- 32:52Speaker 1: are you.
- 32:54Speaker 16: I'm doing okay? You know, I have a I took
- 32:58Speaker 16: an exception to something that Rob said the other day.
- 33:00Speaker 16: I don't know if there was yesterday of the day before,
- 33:03Speaker 16: how he was talking about how Jerry Jones is not
- 33:05Speaker 16: not all in on the cowboys and stuff, and I
- 33:07Speaker 16: don't know, I just I have to disagree with that.
- 33:09Speaker 16: Feel like Jerry Jones is always and has been doing
- 33:12Speaker 16: everything that he can, you know, within the parameters of
- 33:15Speaker 16: the rules that they step for him to tour camp,
- 33:18Speaker 16: so the team, so the thing can win. I mean,
- 33:21Speaker 16: you know, I don't know what it is about most
- 33:23Speaker 16: cowboy sans, but like when things aren't going right, they
- 33:26Speaker 16: just want to people step down and take people's jobs
- 33:29Speaker 16: and you know, off with their heads type of thing.
- 33:32Speaker 16: And I don't know, I never was on board with that.
- 33:35Speaker 16: You know, I think Jerry's doing great. Yeah he has
- 33:38Speaker 16: the GM title, but I mean, you know, let's be real.
- 33:41Speaker 16: Will McClay is the G. He does all this stuff
- 33:44Speaker 16: you know that a GM would do, and and and
- 33:47Speaker 16: you know Jerry has people that he that he delegates.
- 33:51Speaker 16: I mean, you know it's funny because Rob it's quick
- 33:53Speaker 16: to say he's a businessman. Well, how do you become
- 33:55Speaker 16: a successful businessman? You got to learn how to how
- 33:57Speaker 16: to delegate and then give things over people, you know
- 34:00Speaker 16: what I mean. And so I think anyway, I just
- 34:03Speaker 16: I wanted to say, I just.
- 34:06Speaker 1: I appreciate I appreciate that that stance because uh yeah,
- 34:11Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that have the other view,
- 34:12Speaker 1: and you know, and if you don't and if you
- 34:16Speaker 1: don't think he was joking, you know, if that wasn't
- 34:19Speaker 1: a tongue in cheek, you know comment, then that's on you.
- 34:22Speaker 1: I mean, that's really that's that's that's your fault there.
- 34:25Speaker 16: So right anyways, anyway, yeah, so I wanted to give
- 34:30Speaker 16: a score prediction. I was so up in the air
- 34:33Speaker 16: about this one. I just I don't know. I don't
- 34:36Speaker 16: know my team, so I don't know if we're gonna
- 34:38Speaker 16: win or not, because I mean we you know, the
- 34:40Speaker 16: previous game we won forty four to twenty two. The
- 34:42Speaker 16: next game we lose forty forty four or forty six
- 34:46Speaker 16: twenty winners. Score was I just I don't know what
- 34:50Speaker 16: what to do, but I want to say the Cowboys
- 34:53Speaker 16: going to win. So I want to say, maybe it'll
- 34:55Speaker 16: be thirty twenty seven Cowboys, all right, And then I
- 35:00Speaker 16: I have one quick question for units. What do you
- 35:02Speaker 16: want to see from this Arizona game as far as
- 35:04Speaker 16: the Cowboys defense goes.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Turnover, stop sacks. You know, I'm like, get off the field,
- 35:11Speaker 1: like first drive of the game, how about that, So
- 35:14Speaker 1: sorry for for the call that and I have. We
- 35:17Speaker 1: have through the window here we have the awesome the
- 35:20Speaker 1: Cowboys make a wish the kids that are coming through,
- 35:23Speaker 1: they come through every Friday. I was trying to make
- 35:25Speaker 1: the line when they walked through. It's only one of
- 35:27Speaker 1: the coolest things that happens when the show started right
- 35:29Speaker 1: attend so I missed it. But they walked through here,
- 35:31Speaker 1: I get a chance to wave to them, so that
- 35:33Speaker 1: that's cool for me to be able to do that.
- 35:35Speaker 1: One of my favorite things that we do for the
- 35:37Speaker 1: Cowboys is on Fridays when you see these kids in
- 35:39Speaker 1: their faces when they come in and all the employees
- 35:42Speaker 1: lined up and cheer for them and all that. I
- 35:45Speaker 1: just missed it, but it's cool that part of their
- 35:46Speaker 1: tour was to come through right here. So I gave
- 35:49Speaker 1: a wave through the window. Greg. Your your your questions
- 35:52Speaker 1: are going back to what you said about Jerry. Uh,
- 35:55Speaker 1: you know, I really you know, it was kind of
- 35:58Speaker 1: a joking conversation and what I took from that and
- 36:02Speaker 1: if you kind of know Jerry, and I'm not saying
- 36:04Speaker 1: I know him like really well, but I mean I
- 36:07Speaker 1: get the sense that, you know, talking to a reporter
- 36:10Speaker 1: about this this you know, business venture that he has.
- 36:14Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like the elephant in the room,
- 36:16Speaker 1: like like this is a big deal, such a big deal,
- 36:18Speaker 1: Like it's why I'm not trying to fix this defense,
- 36:20Speaker 1: like like knowing how Like it's like, this is this
- 36:24Speaker 1: is what I've got going on, and everyone in the
- 36:25Speaker 1: world knows this, and so it's kind of a joking
- 36:29Speaker 1: conversation basically saying, this is the biggest thing that that's
- 36:33Speaker 1: happening here is trying to figure out this defense. So
- 36:36Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with you though, you know, this
- 36:37Speaker 1: is this is pretty big whatever it is. The thing
- 36:40Speaker 1: about what I hate about the the the Jerry criticism
- 36:45Speaker 1: and the well we all know that the GM is
- 36:47Speaker 1: really this or this or all that, and it's like
- 36:50Speaker 1: it's almost like moving the goalpost, you know, because if
- 36:53Speaker 1: the Cowboys make a trade for for for Pickens or
- 36:57Speaker 1: get Javonte Williams and he's turned out great, they do
- 37:00Speaker 1: have a nice draft pick, or somebody figured out that
- 37:03Speaker 1: this this tackle at Tulsa Tyler Smith can actually be
- 37:06Speaker 1: an all Pro guard or whatever it is, Jerry never
- 37:11Speaker 1: gets credit for that. You know that that wasn't that
- 37:14Speaker 1: wasn't Jerry. He's got some people helping him. But any
- 37:17Speaker 1: other move that's made or not made, or the trade
- 37:19Speaker 1: or or this this pick that didn't work out, or
- 37:21Speaker 1: Mazie or Taco or whatever, that all, well, that's Jerry.
- 37:26Speaker 1: All he cares about is that, you know. So it's
- 37:27Speaker 1: like pick a side, like pick one because it can't
- 37:30Speaker 1: be both. And that's that's the thing that's always frustrating
- 37:33Speaker 1: to me about this. Let's go to break real quick
- 37:35Speaker 1: on Cowboys storyline. Be right back after this.

- 38:55Speaker 1: time for a couple more calls here, Let's go to
- 38:57Speaker 1: Zach in Atlanta has been holding Zach? What's up?
- 39:00Speaker 3: Hey?
- 39:01Speaker 18: Nick the quick?
- 39:01Speaker 1: What's up my guy?
- 39:04Speaker 18: I'm Anthony and Miami for Halloween. Shout out to Anthony.
- 39:08Speaker 18: Call in buddy, we.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Miss you an So.
- 39:12Speaker 18: I'm not gonna do a rap song, but I've got
- 39:14Speaker 18: some Anthony optimism for my call today. So guess what, buddy,
- 39:19Speaker 18: trick or treat?
- 39:20Speaker 8: All right?
- 39:21Speaker 18: Uh, Monday is coming and uh in the spirit of today,
- 39:26Speaker 18: we got some tricks, we got some treats. My prediction
- 39:28Speaker 18: for the game a couple of tricks for you, Nick.
- 39:31Speaker 18: A flea flicker from the Cowboys, a successful one, but
- 39:35Speaker 18: a flea flicker. I think we're gonna see it, man.
- 39:37Speaker 18: Another trick. A fake punt?
- 39:39Speaker 3: Why not?
- 39:40Speaker 18: You know we're we're talking about going forward on fourth
- 39:42Speaker 18: downs things like that. Why not slip in a fake punt?
- 39:44Speaker 18: Keep the defense, special teams on their toes. Treat, We're
- 39:49Speaker 18: gonna get a punt return for a touchdown. Big special
- 39:52Speaker 18: team's day. Because Brandon Aubrey's tacking on a sixty something
- 39:55Speaker 18: yard field goal, maybe the record, that would be pretty cool.
- 39:58Speaker 18: But the final treat of them all. When I look
- 40:02Speaker 18: at Kyler Murray plays football, he kind of looks like
- 40:05Speaker 18: a Teddy Graham to me, you know, the little graam
- 40:06Speaker 18: cracker Teddy Grams. He just he's a small buddy, but
- 40:10Speaker 18: he can play ball. He's cooked us, I think every
- 40:13Speaker 18: time he's played us. But guess what, Nick, the zombies
- 40:16Speaker 18: who have been sleep walking on this defense, particularly the
- 40:20Speaker 18: pass rush, the zombies are gonna wake up and they're
- 40:23Speaker 18: coming for blood. We are going to be the house
- 40:25Speaker 18: on the block that hands out not apples, not toothbrushes,
- 40:29Speaker 18: but crushed up Teddy Graham packages because Kyler Murray's going
- 40:33Speaker 18: down for a couple of sacks. Score is going to
- 40:36Speaker 18: be thirty seven thirty one Cowboys, let's get it.
- 40:38Speaker 1: Talk to y'all soon, all right, appreciate it. A lot
- 40:42Speaker 1: of good stuff there. I love the creativity man that
- 40:45Speaker 1: I could say, you know, I would laugh even more about,
- 40:50Speaker 1: you know, the Teddy Graham comment. But you're like, aha,
- 40:52Speaker 1: you never beat him, so that's not really that funny.
- 40:57Speaker 1: And he doesn't lost at at and T State. I'm
- 41:00Speaker 1: an Allen High School, Oklahoma Cardinals. He plays well here,
- 41:04Speaker 1: he's coming back from injury. They've they've been talking about
- 41:07Speaker 1: maybe Jacobe Brissett, of all people, should be taking his spot.
- 41:10Speaker 1: I mean, he's got stuff to prove, so he's coming
- 41:12Speaker 1: in here ready to roll. And uh, it's gonna it's
- 41:15Speaker 1: gonna be a challenge. But I mean, the one thing
- 41:18Speaker 1: that that makes me think that, you know, the Cowboys
- 41:21Speaker 1: have a shot is that I don't think Arizona's defense
- 41:23Speaker 1: is gonna stop them. I really don't. Cowboys coming off
- 41:25Speaker 1: a game like that, usually it's an up and down,
- 41:27Speaker 1: up and down. I don't know if I should call
- 41:29Speaker 1: them a roller coaster anymore. This this is just an elevator.
- 41:33Speaker 1: I mean, it's what's what it's what it is. I mean,
- 41:36Speaker 1: it's it's just up and it's down, and then sometimes
- 41:38Speaker 1: it's stops. Sometimes it looks broken. Maybe they have to
- 41:41Speaker 1: get the little phone out there and make a call
- 41:43Speaker 1: to someone. But but this is up, it's down, it's
- 41:46Speaker 1: all the way to the top. It just sits there
- 41:48Speaker 1: at the basement level. That's kind of that's kind of
- 41:51Speaker 1: what this team is right now. But good stuff, it's
- 41:55Speaker 1: a lot of if that all happens on special teams.
- 41:57Speaker 1: I mean, we had a caller I didn't even know
- 42:00Speaker 1: the special teams coach's name, Nick Sorenson. You get a
- 42:03Speaker 1: fake punt, a sixty six yard field goal and a
- 42:05Speaker 1: turp and punt return for a touchdown, and he's gonna
- 42:07Speaker 1: be he's gonna be getting some flowers for sure. All right,
- 42:09Speaker 1: Champing Nebraska is next.
- 42:12Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, good morning, Nick, Happy Halloween, Thank.
- 42:15Speaker 1: You appreciate it. Good morning to you.
- 42:17Speaker 3: Hey, I had a minute here. Brought my son. He's
- 42:19Speaker 3: going to try to get his drivers perm me today
- 42:21Speaker 3: and I thought i'd call in and I got through.
- 42:23Speaker 4: It was pretty cool, nice, real quick.
- 42:26Speaker 3: Your dad's game yeah, you'll bear with me. I took
- 42:29Speaker 3: it to a whole nother level. I got my first,
- 42:31Speaker 3: second and third team. I'm gonna read off to you.
- 42:34Speaker 3: That's a joke. That's a joke. I just wanted to
- 42:36Speaker 3: see your face when I watch this on the playback
- 42:38Speaker 3: later because I know that you're like, make this quick.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what I am. I am. I'll
- 42:43Speaker 1: say this. I am happy that you guys are are
- 42:47Speaker 1: are having fun with this game. My dad is probably watching.
- 42:51Speaker 1: He hasn't had the best week, I can tell you that,
- 42:55Speaker 1: and he's gonna be okay, but he loves watching this
- 42:57Speaker 1: and he loves hear and you guys kind of you know,
- 43:00Speaker 1: take take the game to another level as well. So
- 43:03Speaker 1: go for it. Man, if all people do this week,
- 43:05Speaker 1: he needs it.
- 43:07Speaker 3: Honestly, I really don't have it. That was more of
- 43:10Speaker 3: a joke. But hey, prayers to your dad. I hope
- 43:12Speaker 3: that whatever he's dealing with it, he'd be blessed. So
- 43:16Speaker 3: my call. I've had a theory for a few years
- 43:19Speaker 3: now that the trade season, it seems like the Cowboys
- 43:24Speaker 3: can make a little trade. You know, they'll get a
- 43:26Speaker 3: mingo or something like that, but they never can make
- 43:29Speaker 3: a splash trade. And I know you've said in the
- 43:31Speaker 3: past it takes two two teams got to be willing
- 43:34Speaker 3: to do that. But I've wondered ever since the trade
- 43:37Speaker 3: back in the nineties when we fleeceed Minnesota, and I
- 43:41Speaker 3: understand trades work way differently nowadays that nobody wants to
- 43:46Speaker 3: be seen as or be felt like they got taken
- 43:49Speaker 3: advantage of by Jerry Jones the way Minnesota did back
- 43:53Speaker 3: in the day, And that's why other teams aren't willing
- 43:56Speaker 3: to trade with us the way they do with Philadelphia.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Philadelphia pulls off decent trades all the time, but nobody
- 44:04Speaker 3: wants to be having True Blue made about them in
- 44:09Speaker 3: thirty years because of the trades that they made in
- 44:11Speaker 3: twenty twenty five that got the Cowboys back over the hump.
- 44:15Speaker 3: So I don't know that may not be a thing
- 44:18Speaker 3: or not that that's kind of my theory for why
- 44:21Speaker 3: we don't ever see the land with big trades. I
- 44:24Speaker 3: know we've supposedly called around about some guys that nobody
- 44:28Speaker 3: wants to go with. It is it the Raiders really
- 44:31Speaker 3: want to keep somebody that they think is really special
- 44:35Speaker 3: or Jacksonville. You know, nobody in particular, just do they
- 44:39Speaker 3: really want to keep their players when they're doing as
- 44:41Speaker 3: bad as they are. Lastly, my score prediction, I think
- 44:45Speaker 3: that the Cowboys are going to bounce back from last week.
- 44:49Speaker 3: I really really wanted to go to Denver, being from Nebraska,
- 44:52Speaker 3: It's not too far, but I've been there the last
- 44:55Speaker 3: two times they played there and it didn't go well.
- 44:58Speaker 3: Watching the game Sunday, I was like, gosh, I'm so
- 45:00Speaker 3: glad I didn't make that trip. But I think we
- 45:02Speaker 3: bounced back this week. I think the Cowboys pull it
- 45:04Speaker 3: off thirty three to twenty four. All Right, Nick, you
- 45:07Speaker 3: guys have a great weekend. We'll talk to you next week.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Thanks, Champ. All Right, I don't know you know you
- 45:13Speaker 1: you're saying since the herschel Walker trade, nobody wants to
- 45:17Speaker 1: make a trade like that with the Cowboys. That A'll
- 45:18Speaker 1: make splash trades. He's made the biggest one since Hershalwalker.
- 45:24Speaker 1: And now, I mean that's the same type of thing.
- 45:27Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same type of trade. They traded
- 45:30Speaker 1: away a guy that they thought, you know, it wasn't
- 45:33Speaker 1: gonna sign here, and and and not not to not
- 45:37Speaker 1: to the level that that he did. So I just
- 45:41Speaker 1: I feel like they've made that trade. They'd be that
- 45:43Speaker 1: you can't get more splash year than trading Michael Parsons
- 45:46Speaker 1: for two first round picks and Kenny Clark. And that's
- 45:48Speaker 1: what that's what they did, and that's that's the splash
- 45:51Speaker 1: of the of this this era of trades. And so
- 45:55Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's afraid of making trades with the Cowboys.
- 45:58Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I think you learn lessons from
- 46:01Speaker 1: things like that. The biggest part of those of that
- 46:04Speaker 1: deal that people forget that you don't do anymore is
- 46:09Speaker 1: they gave five players to the Cowboys, thinking that Jerry
- 46:14Speaker 1: wouldn't and the Cowboys would need these five, like, oh,
- 46:17Speaker 1: these guys will help you because you guys are terrible.
- 46:20Speaker 1: We don't really think they'll help the Vikings. But we'll
- 46:22Speaker 1: give you these guys and you'll love them. You'll love
- 46:25Speaker 1: Darren Nelson and Jesse Solomon and Ike Colt and David
- 46:29Speaker 1: Howard and whoever they were, you'll you'll love them. And
- 46:32Speaker 1: but if you don't, if you don't, if you end
- 46:34Speaker 1: up cutting them, we'll give you draft picks for them,
- 46:36Speaker 1: but you'll love them. Okay, okay, well, cut, cut, cut cut,
- 46:41Speaker 1: We'll keep him, but cut. Thanks for the picks. So
- 46:44Speaker 1: that just added even more picks. Nobody's doing that anymore.
- 46:47Speaker 1: So it's not about Jerry thing. That's just like that
- 46:50Speaker 1: was dumb. Don't do that again. Here's what not to
- 46:52Speaker 1: do anymore, and then they'll do that. So that's part
- 46:55Speaker 1: of the of the you know, evolution of trades. I
- 46:58Speaker 1: guess in the NFL, things like that, somebody was trying
- 47:01Speaker 1: to get cute and it didn't work out, kind of
- 47:04Speaker 1: like you know, second and one at the one and
- 47:06Speaker 1: trying to get cute, not running the ball to your
- 47:08Speaker 1: powerhouse running back that did play for that team that
- 47:10Speaker 1: wants to score against them. But let's throw it over
- 47:13Speaker 1: here and let's see if we you know, we'll score
- 47:15Speaker 1: at some point. Sometimes you get too cute. That's what
- 47:18Speaker 1: happened there. All right, fun show, guys, good Halloween spirit.
- 47:21Speaker 1: Hope you guys have a good night in a good
- 47:24Speaker 1: weekend obviously, and we'll see what happens Monday night. Remember
- 47:27Speaker 1: we'll do the show on Tuesdays. Next week's schedule is
- 47:30Speaker 1: gonna be a little different. No show Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday shows.
- 47:34Speaker 1: No shows on Thursday and Fridays, we get to the
- 47:35Speaker 1: bye week and much needed bye week, but definitely we'll
- 47:38Speaker 1: talk about it on Tuesday. Hopefully you guys are in
- 47:41Speaker 1: a good mood because the Cowboys figured out a way
- 47:43Speaker 1: to beat the Cardinals and Kyler Murray. We'll see if
- 47:46Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about on Tuesday. For Chris Beam,
