- 0:02Speaker 2: He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
- 0:04Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:17Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman. What's up.
- 0:25Speaker 4: Good morning everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Thursday,
- 0:29Speaker 4: September eleventh. I'm Nick Eatman. It's time to do this
- 0:33Speaker 4: talk a little bit about Cowboys, football, cowboys and giants.
- 0:39Speaker 4: You know what, let me just say I don't like
- 0:41Speaker 4: the gloss over that just to say, oh, it's September eleventh.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Obviously for anybody my age and you have to you know,
- 0:49Speaker 4: even people that were really young, everyone remembers where they
- 0:53Speaker 4: were September eleventh, So to just kind of pass over that,
- 0:56Speaker 4: like we moved on. Obviously, we'll never forget that, our
- 0:59Speaker 4: lives changed forever. I know my kids bring that they've
- 1:03Speaker 4: brought home. My son has something they had to fill
- 1:05Speaker 4: out and wanted to interview me on that, and it
- 1:09Speaker 4: kind of brought back some memories. But yeah, certainly did
- 1:12Speaker 4: want to just pass over that. I think that'll be
- 1:14Speaker 4: a time we'll always remember and as sad as it was,
- 1:19Speaker 4: so I just want to mention that especially playing New
- 1:22Speaker 4: York Cowboys Giants not in New York, but still, that's
- 1:25Speaker 4: that's obviously going to be a big moment for everyone.
- 1:29Speaker 4: It always is every time September eleventh rolls around. All right,
- 1:33Speaker 4: let's get to the show, Brian and Kansas City's first off,
- 1:36Speaker 4: So let's go right to it.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Brian, what's up?
- 1:39Speaker 5: Good morning, sir, How are you good?
- 1:40Speaker 1: How are you?
- 1:42Speaker 5: I'm doing all right, man, Yeah, it's a yeah, it's
- 1:45Speaker 5: definitely a day that anybody in our generation, like you said,
- 1:50Speaker 5: you just will never never forget where you were when
- 1:53Speaker 5: when that on this day.
- 1:56Speaker 6: Definitely we're.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, how you bring down the show, we can
- 2:04Speaker 1: we can move on. But but ye, and we don't
- 2:07Speaker 1: have to keep bringing it up.
- 2:08Speaker 4: But I just said, when you throw the date out there,
- 2:11Speaker 4: I thought it had to be mentioned.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So anyways, all right, yeh.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Suir, Yeah, absolutely. Hey, you know the I was thinking
- 2:17Speaker 5: about for this game people that had played for both
- 2:21Speaker 5: teams and wondered if you had a story on Martellus Bennett.
- 2:28Speaker 5: And I'll give my prediction. I don't think I'll be
- 2:30Speaker 5: able to call in tomorrow. I'm going with Cowboys twenty
- 2:34Speaker 5: five Giants twelve. I think the Cowboys have this one
- 2:37Speaker 5: in the bag. We're gonna we'll play up. We'll play
- 2:41Speaker 5: up to our level instead of down to the competition
- 2:44Speaker 5: this time.
- 2:44Speaker 7: Huh.
- 2:45Speaker 1: All right, sounds great.
- 2:46Speaker 5: That's good for me, man.
- 2:47Speaker 7: I'll talk to you.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Later, all right. Thanks tell us. Bennett. You know.
- 2:55Speaker 4: One of those guys that I thought early in his
- 2:58Speaker 4: career loved what football gave him more than he loved football.
- 3:06Speaker 4: It's not a bad thing. It happens more than you think,
- 3:11Speaker 4: I think. But but I think over time he got better.
- 3:16Speaker 4: I think he's, you know, the older brother. Both you know,
- 3:18Speaker 4: played for the for the Cowboys too for a little bit,
- 3:20Speaker 4: Michael Bennett, and I think they you know, I think
- 3:24Speaker 4: he grew up and matured and he became a pretty
- 3:26Speaker 4: good player.
- 3:27Speaker 8: I know.
- 3:27Speaker 4: One time I was at the Pro Bowl with this
- 3:31Speaker 4: is the year the Cowboys coaches were there. It might
- 3:33Speaker 4: have been twenty fourteen, and I remember he was with
- 3:38Speaker 4: the Bears made the Pro Bowl, I believe, but he
- 3:41Speaker 4: was hanging out with the Giants people because he was
- 3:44Speaker 4: with the Giants, like you said, and so he was
- 3:47Speaker 4: with the Bears wearing a Bears thing, and he was
- 3:49Speaker 4: with the Giants and then he walks by and he
- 3:52Speaker 4: sees me and he's like, hey, what's up. He's like, man,
- 3:55Speaker 4: I've been on a lot of damn teams.
- 3:57Speaker 1: You know. It was just kind of a funny moment.
- 3:59Speaker 4: But yeah, it's good for him to be able to
- 4:02Speaker 4: kind of you know, he grew his career and he'd
- 4:03Speaker 4: be a pretty good player. I'll to this day, I'll
- 4:08Speaker 4: never back down from it. If he if he would
- 4:10Speaker 4: have gained twenty pounds, he could have been an all
- 4:12Speaker 4: Pro left tackle, and he didn't want to do that
- 4:14Speaker 4: because they don't get the ball, but they get the money.
- 4:18Speaker 4: I think he could have been I think it had
- 4:19Speaker 4: been great left tackle. I mean, he's not that much
- 4:23Speaker 4: different really looking than Tyler Geyton. He could have gained
- 4:25Speaker 4: a little bit of weight and I think he could
- 4:27Speaker 4: have done it. But anyways, he was good. He was
- 4:30Speaker 4: a good player. He probably he probably put about five
- 4:36Speaker 4: more years into Jason Witten's career because Jason Witten was
- 4:39Speaker 4: not going to let him come take his job and
- 4:41Speaker 4: that kind of drove him there too, all right, Gary
- 4:44Speaker 4: In New Mexico's.
- 4:45Speaker 9: Next, Hey, Nick got a trivia question for you? Now?
- 4:49Speaker 5: Uh oh, yes, Okay, here we go.
- 4:51Speaker 9: All right, Cowboy Giants week, I'll give you an easy
- 4:54Speaker 9: one for your wheelhouse here. Nineteen eighty six season opener,
- 4:57Speaker 9: Giants at Cowboys. Cowboys win thirty one twenty eight herschel
- 5:01Speaker 9: Walker's debut. You remember the game?
- 5:03Speaker 4: Yes?
- 5:04Speaker 8: So?
- 5:04Speaker 9: Herschel Walker scores two touchdowns, including the game winner. Tony
- 5:08Speaker 9: Dorsett scored the first one. The trivia question who scored
- 5:11Speaker 9: the other touchdown for the Cowboys in that game?
- 5:13Speaker 7: Oh?
- 5:13Speaker 8: Man, God, I knew I would get you.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, I'm just gonna this is going to be
- 5:19Speaker 4: a guess. This is straight. Yes, Doug Cosby or Mike Chirard.
- 5:27Speaker 4: Those are the only two I could think of, now,
- 5:30Speaker 4: I mean.
- 5:30Speaker 9: You were close on Cosby. It was a tied end.
- 5:32Speaker 7: It was Thorn.
- 5:33Speaker 9: Chandler, number eighty five, rookie year. Yeah, later changed his number,
- 5:39Speaker 9: but yeah, Thornton Chandler out of Alabama, probably one of
- 5:42Speaker 9: Bear Bryant's last recruits. He played all four years in college.
- 5:46Speaker 9: Don't know anyway, So got.
- 5:47Speaker 7: The trivia out of the way.
- 5:49Speaker 9: I'm no less excited about this team after last week.
- 5:53Speaker 9: I'm just as excited. There's a lot of good stuff
- 5:55Speaker 9: I saw last week, and the things I didn't like
- 5:57Speaker 9: I think are correctable, so we'll see where they go.
- 6:00Speaker 9: My question to you is who are you rooting for tonight?
- 6:04Speaker 9: Because I've got two favorite teams, Dallas and whoever plays
- 6:07Speaker 9: green Bay? But green Bay's play but green Bay's playing Washington,
- 6:11Speaker 9: So I'm kind of torn about who to root for.
- 6:13Speaker 9: But that aside, give me your thoughts on this week's game.
- 6:17Speaker 9: What do you realistically think they can do against the
- 6:19Speaker 9: Giants this week? And I'll hang up and listen.
- 6:21Speaker 4: All right, thanks? Great, great call, got me on the
- 6:23Speaker 4: on the trivia question. I can remember middle of the game,
- 6:27Speaker 4: you know, I mean I mean I mean into the
- 6:29Speaker 4: game and maybe first of the game, but I didn't
- 6:31Speaker 4: know about that other touchdown.
- 6:34Speaker 8: Uh.
- 6:34Speaker 4: It was always the Herds for Walker play. That's the
- 6:36Speaker 4: one that that kind of mattered the most. And and
- 6:38Speaker 4: uh had a couple of touchdowns in that one. This
- 6:43Speaker 4: this game coming up, and I think we should, you know,
- 6:46Speaker 4: got to point out the injury news that that happened.
- 6:49Speaker 4: If you haven't already seen and heard about Deron Bland
- 6:52Speaker 4: out again or he's not officially been ruled out, but
- 6:55Speaker 4: it does look like he's going to miss this game
- 6:56Speaker 4: and maybe a couple more with a foot injury, we'll
- 7:02Speaker 4: see if it's going to be enough to put them
- 7:03Speaker 4: on injured on put him on injured reserve. I think
- 7:07Speaker 4: he's the type of player how good he is that
- 7:11Speaker 4: if it's a three week injury, I'm not putting him
- 7:14Speaker 4: on injured reserve because that means he has to be
- 7:17Speaker 4: out four because just getting him for one game is
- 7:21Speaker 4: worth it for me, especially how close these games are
- 7:24Speaker 4: going to be and how good I think he is.
- 7:26Speaker 4: So he could be an active for three weeks and
- 7:29Speaker 4: you don't get another roster spot. You can figure it
- 7:32Speaker 4: out with the practice squad guys and move them up
- 7:34Speaker 4: and all that. But if he can play in the
- 7:38Speaker 4: fourth game, it's worth it for me to keep him there.
- 7:41Speaker 1: That's my opinion.
- 7:42Speaker 4: I don't know if the Cowboys feel the same way,
- 7:44Speaker 4: but I just think that's how good he is. So
- 7:46Speaker 4: to answer the question Gary about what they can do,
- 7:49Speaker 4: you know, I think it starts with that part of
- 7:51Speaker 4: the corners. Who's going to play corner for them? Now,
- 7:54Speaker 4: if you could pick a game, this could be a
- 7:57Speaker 4: kiss of death. But if you could pick a game
- 8:00Speaker 4: where you're gonna be a little bit shorthanded at corner.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Not gonna have your best I mean, maybe it is
- 8:04Speaker 4: the Giants. They don't throw the ball well that they
- 8:08Speaker 4: didn't in that first game. They don't, you know, have
- 8:10Speaker 4: elite neighbors. He's a really good player, but you're gonna
- 8:13Speaker 4: have to, you know, figure, you know, you have to
- 8:14Speaker 4: cover him. But you saw it last year and they
- 8:17Speaker 4: didn't have darn Bland. I remember it was over Warrier
- 8:21Speaker 4: had a game winning, in clinching interception at the end
- 8:25Speaker 4: of the game. So I think, you know, I think
- 8:28Speaker 4: they can get it covered. This isn't one where they're
- 8:30Speaker 4: playing the Bengals where they got you know, two great
- 8:33Speaker 4: receivers with the Eagles for that matter. But that's gonna
- 8:37Speaker 4: be the big key. I think it's just just how
- 8:38Speaker 4: the cornerback situation goes and who plays in there. I think,
- 8:41Speaker 4: you know, do they go with Ready Stewart Stewart inside?
- 8:45Speaker 4: As as the nickel guide, do they bring up Zion
- 8:47Speaker 4: Childress put him in there, and maybe a combination of both.
- 8:52Speaker 4: They both could actually be active in this game. All right,
- 8:54Speaker 4: let's go to Sebastian's and Savannah Georgia.
- 8:56Speaker 10: Sebastian, what's up good morning, sir. I am on fine.
- 9:00Speaker 11: I hope you're doing well.
- 9:01Speaker 10: Also, I need to make a quick correction for my
- 9:04Speaker 10: predictions of the playoffs yesterday. It goes the first round
- 9:07Speaker 10: we win, the second round we beat the Eagles, and
- 9:09Speaker 10: then the third round we played Green Bay. But as
- 9:12Speaker 10: far as the game predictions for this week goes, I
- 9:14Speaker 10: got this going thirty eight seventeen. In the fourth quarter
- 9:17Speaker 10: for four minutes, we're gonna be pcing Joe Milton and
- 9:19Speaker 10: Dak on the side with a hat on. They're gonna
- 9:22Speaker 10: put him in and let him get a cup, a
- 9:23Speaker 10: nice little drive in there.
- 9:24Speaker 11: It'll be thirty five to.
- 9:25Speaker 10: Ten at the time. Go go ahead, put a nice
- 9:27Speaker 10: drive together, get three points. We'll see some confidence inspiring things.
- 9:30Speaker 10: Move on to the next week's game. I think that
- 9:33Speaker 10: they scored that last touchdown because, like you said, d
- 9:35Speaker 10: ron Bland is down and when our fourth ring cornerback
- 9:38Speaker 10: comes in, they'll get that last second garbage touchdown to
- 9:41Speaker 10: make it not thirty eight to ten, it'll be thirty
- 9:44Speaker 10: eight seventeen.
- 9:45Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 9:45Speaker 4: A great day, And I like, get a listen, okay,
- 9:49Speaker 4: I mean, I mean just the specifics of everything. Everything
- 9:52Speaker 4: is exactly how how you got it mapped out. I
- 9:57Speaker 4: like it, boy. It would be nice have a game
- 10:00Speaker 4: like that. It really would to be able to play
- 10:04Speaker 4: some younger guys and get them in there. And everyone
- 10:07Speaker 4: wants to see Illinois and you know so, but this
- 10:13Speaker 4: is a seven to ten football team last year and
- 10:15Speaker 4: right now they're oh and one. So I think for me,
- 10:20Speaker 4: I I think that you know they'll win this game,
- 10:24Speaker 4: but it's I'm uncomfortable by saying they're going to blow
- 10:28Speaker 4: them out and let's play young guys. And you know,
- 10:31Speaker 4: this isn't This isn't college where you know, Alabama's taking
- 10:36Speaker 4: on Louisiana and Roe or something like that. I mean,
- 10:38Speaker 4: this is not this is the Giants. This is a
- 10:40Speaker 4: team that that played them well, almost beat them the
- 10:43Speaker 4: first time around. Second game, you know, maybe not not
- 10:46Speaker 4: as close, and I understand Dak's success against them, but
- 10:49Speaker 4: at the same time, I you know, we'll we'll just see.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I have to believe it.
- 10:53Speaker 8: First.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Yes, I think the Cowboys will win.
- 10:56Speaker 4: And it's fine that you guys called in to do
- 10:58Speaker 4: that and that's your prediction and you probably will be right,
- 11:01Speaker 4: but you know, until we've seen I mean, we haven't
- 11:04Speaker 4: seen the Cowboys win a game. We haven't seen this
- 11:06Speaker 4: team win a game, and so let's let's see. Let's
- 11:09Speaker 4: see what happens. They're gonna have to go out there
- 11:10Speaker 4: and get the job done. I think that they will.
- 11:13Speaker 4: I thought it was very encouraging from what they saw
- 11:15Speaker 4: last week. But I'm just I'm just not there to
- 11:18Speaker 4: be talking about backups and all this kind of stuff
- 11:21Speaker 4: because it could very well go into the fourth quarter.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Is a very tough game. I'm not sure this team.
- 11:28Speaker 4: We'll see if they're good enough to be blowing teams out.
- 11:31Speaker 4: I mean, they were good enough to score two touchdowns
- 11:33Speaker 4: against the Eagles, but then the Eagles figured it out
- 11:35Speaker 4: and they didn't score anymore touchdowns. So let's see. Do
- 11:38Speaker 4: the Giants have it figured out too? Do they know
- 11:40Speaker 4: how to play them? Can they do that?
- 11:43Speaker 7: Well?
- 11:44Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 11:44Speaker 4: Every game is different, but I'm definitely excited about it.
- 11:47Speaker 4: I know you guys are too. Let's go to Blair.
- 11:49Speaker 4: He's in Newport News, Virginia.
- 11:53Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, I.
- 11:54Speaker 12: Want to go a little bit of different directions. So
- 11:56Speaker 12: I'm trying to work myself off to practice squad and
- 12:00Speaker 12: back onto the roster for the storyline team. In terms
- 12:05Speaker 12: of storyline. I mean, the biggest storyline for me is
- 12:09Speaker 12: the play calling of Shoddy. During the entire preseason, it
- 12:14Speaker 12: was all vanilla. We didn't know what to expect. We
- 12:16Speaker 12: got a little bit of a glimpse of what we're
- 12:18Speaker 12: going to see last week, but the real question is
- 12:21Speaker 12: how much are we going to see each week based
- 12:23Speaker 12: on our fifty three and the team we're facing until
- 12:26Speaker 12: we get an idea of what kind of play caller
- 12:28Speaker 12: Shoddy really is. And to me, that's exciting to see.
- 12:32Speaker 12: And yeah, I don't know about the score this week.
- 12:36Speaker 12: I'm like you, I'm a little bit more cautious because
- 12:38Speaker 12: it's a division game and we really are facing some
- 12:42Speaker 12: unique challenges each week. So I have for like a
- 12:46Speaker 12: twenty twenty seven sixteen. I know that doesn't sound close,
- 12:51Speaker 12: but I kind of feel like we can score. But
- 12:54Speaker 12: I think the Giants are formidable and I just hope
- 12:58Speaker 12: we come out with a win.
- 13:00Speaker 4: No, I'm definitely with you on that one, because I
- 13:04Speaker 4: think I didn't watch the Giants Washington game, but I
- 13:07Speaker 4: think it was one of those games where twenty one
- 13:10Speaker 4: to six, but going into the fourth quarter was still,
- 13:13Speaker 4: you know, relatively close, so it could be a game
- 13:17Speaker 4: like that, for sure, their defense is going to keep
- 13:20Speaker 4: a minute.
- 13:20Speaker 1: I mean their defense.
- 13:21Speaker 4: I mean, I still think that that they've got some
- 13:23Speaker 4: really great talent there, some great pass rushers. So that's
- 13:28Speaker 4: going to give the Cowboys some problems.
- 13:29Speaker 1: It has to.
- 13:31Speaker 9: I agree.
- 13:32Speaker 12: And as far as the Mica storyline, to me, I
- 13:36Speaker 12: know you mentioned earlier this week that he has time
- 13:38Speaker 12: to put kind of move on from that. But because
- 13:41Speaker 12: that game is so close in basicly basically you know,
- 13:46Speaker 12: three games where two games away, you can't help but
- 13:50Speaker 12: have it in your mind how he's going to perform
- 13:52Speaker 12: and are we going to be ready to face him
- 13:54Speaker 12: and is he going to.
- 13:55Speaker 7: Be back to his.
- 13:58Speaker 12: Back to full health, full strength. That makes me nervous,
- 14:01Speaker 12: but it's still on the horizon, and I guess it'll
- 14:03Speaker 12: be a luxury if we can worry about that. I mean,
- 14:07Speaker 12: I hope we I hope we're competitive, and I hope
- 14:09Speaker 12: we play strong all the way up through that and
- 14:12Speaker 12: into the postseason.
- 14:13Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right, Blair, Well I appreciate that. I mean, uh,
- 14:17Speaker 4: you know, you you've got your eye on the prize
- 14:20Speaker 4: there with the Giants, there's no doubt about it. But
- 14:22Speaker 4: we all know that game's there. I mean, everybody knows
- 14:26Speaker 4: it that that Mike and the Packers are coming in.
- 14:29Speaker 4: But I mean, you know the Bears. They play the
- 14:34Speaker 4: Lions this week. Both teams are oh and one. Surprisingly
- 14:39Speaker 4: oh and one, one of those teams is going to
- 14:41Speaker 4: be oh and two. And then that that game's at Detroit,
- 14:44Speaker 4: so very good chance that Detroit wins that game. Now
- 14:48Speaker 4: you're going to be facing regardless of what you are,
- 14:51Speaker 4: you can be facing an oh and two Bears team.
- 14:54Speaker 4: That would be a huge challenge I think, to go
- 14:57Speaker 4: and try to and win that game. So there's all
- 15:00Speaker 4: lot here in front of this game. I mean that
- 15:03Speaker 4: that Green Bay game is going to be it's gonna
- 15:06Speaker 4: be huge. And it's not just Micah. I mean, look
- 15:08Speaker 4: at their defense. I mean those other guys played really
- 15:11Speaker 4: really well, So I think they they've got they've got
- 15:14Speaker 4: it going on over there. So that'll be fun. And
- 15:18Speaker 4: you know that atmosphere is going to be crazy and
- 15:21Speaker 4: there'll be a lot of green, a lot of yellow
- 15:23Speaker 4: in that stadium. It just they just will. But first
- 15:27Speaker 4: things first, you got to take on the Giants. Take
- 15:30Speaker 4: it on a team that that you know they they're
- 15:33Speaker 4: they're wounded as well. They didn't play that that great
- 15:36Speaker 4: that first game and going on into in the division
- 15:39Speaker 4: is is.
- 15:41Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's horrible. You can't do that.
- 15:44Speaker 4: So somebody's gonna it's gonna happen to somebody, and so
- 15:46Speaker 4: the guy, we's got to make sure it's not them,
- 15:48Speaker 4: all right, Josh, And Princeton, Texas is next, Josh?
- 15:51Speaker 1: What's up?
- 15:53Speaker 11: What's going on?
- 15:53Speaker 13: Nick?
- 15:54Speaker 1: How are you doing? Man?
- 15:55Speaker 14: I'm going good. It was definitely a coincidence that I
- 16:00Speaker 14: brought up run blocking after Dylan, because I definitely didn't.
- 16:03Speaker 10: Hear that call.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I never remember that.
- 16:05Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, that's I love the
- 16:07Speaker 4: show because everybody watches the same football game, everyone sees
- 16:12Speaker 4: the same stuff and all the news and all that
- 16:14Speaker 4: their interpretation of it is different. That's what's making that's
- 16:17Speaker 4: what makes sports so up so unique and and well,
- 16:20Speaker 4: I guess you could say the same about movies and
- 16:22Speaker 4: music and all that. Everyone has different tastes, everyone views
- 16:25Speaker 4: it differently. But I thought it was ironic that both
- 16:27Speaker 4: of you guys had different different thoughts on the same thing.
- 16:30Speaker 9: Yep.
- 16:31Speaker 14: And just to clarify what I was saying, obviously, you know,
- 16:35Speaker 14: if a run players called, you want to rip receivers,
- 16:37Speaker 14: say at least getting the way and block. Like, I'm
- 16:39Speaker 14: not saying that they don't need to, they need to
- 16:41Speaker 14: disregard it. What I'm saying is, if at the end
- 16:44Speaker 14: of the day, the run game is a failure or
- 16:46Speaker 14: it's not good, I'm not looking at the wide receivers
- 16:49Speaker 14: they weighed down on the list before I start to
- 16:52Speaker 14: try to diagnose the run game problems. That's that's all
- 16:55Speaker 14: I was saying. But I mean, obviously, if a run
- 16:57Speaker 14: players call, you have to, you know, at least do
- 16:59Speaker 14: your right. So what I want to call it about
- 17:04Speaker 14: today is that I'm hearing a lot of deep philosophical
- 17:08Speaker 14: takes about Jayden Blue versus Miles Sanders. To me, it's simple,
- 17:13Speaker 14: you know, don't overthink it. Play the young guy. Miles
- 17:16Speaker 14: Sanders doesn't hurt you on the salary cap. I mean,
- 17:19Speaker 14: he's insurance for sure, But see what you got in
- 17:23Speaker 14: a young guy, and just don't overthink it. And that's
- 17:26Speaker 14: all I ask for today.
- 17:27Speaker 4: All Right, Well, thanks for the call, Josh. You know what,
- 17:32Speaker 4: you do have to overthink it a little bit because
- 17:35Speaker 4: it's not it's not just running the football. If if
- 17:40Speaker 4: it was just that, then sure you put him in there,
- 17:43Speaker 4: but it's it's not just trusting him to hang on
- 17:46Speaker 4: to the football and make the right cut and all
- 17:48Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. If he's thinking that the blitz
- 17:52Speaker 4: is coming over here, but it's actually coming over here,
- 17:57Speaker 4: and Dak expects him to pick it up over here,
- 18:01Speaker 4: but blues over there and he throws a pass and
- 18:06Speaker 4: he gets hit and get gets up looking out his
- 18:09Speaker 4: ear hole. That's a problem. And so and I've seen it, like,
- 18:13Speaker 4: it's not just something that could happen. We saw it,
- 18:16Speaker 4: and I like throwing a guy under the bus whatever,
- 18:18Speaker 4: But we saw it in two thousand and ten. Okay,
- 18:22Speaker 4: it's been fifteen years, but they had a rookie fullback
- 18:25Speaker 4: named Chris Gronkowski, the younger brother, not as good as you,
- 18:29Speaker 4: brother as his as his Hall of Fame tight end brother,
- 18:33Speaker 4: Rob Gronkowski, And he got the wrong guy and the
- 18:37Speaker 4: Giants guy came through, put Romo down, broke his collar bone.
- 18:41Speaker 4: The season was over, and the whole season was over
- 18:44Speaker 4: as well there as well. So my point is is
- 18:47Speaker 4: that rookies, it matters, and so he's got to make
- 18:51Speaker 4: sure that the Cowleys have to make sure that he
- 18:53Speaker 4: knows everything he's supposed to do, not just sit there
- 18:56Speaker 4: and run the ball and try to get touchdowns and
- 18:59Speaker 4: things like that. That's why if you remember, Tony Pollard
- 19:02Speaker 4: played some, but he didn't play a lot, and he
- 19:06Speaker 4: and he played mostly there at the end of the
- 19:08Speaker 4: game when they were gonna run the ball and all that.
- 19:10Speaker 4: But his rookie year, they had to figure that that
- 19:12Speaker 4: part out too, because Zeke did everything better than Pollard.
- 19:18Speaker 4: You know, he ran short, short yardage, he could he
- 19:21Speaker 4: at that time, he still was pretty good, you know,
- 19:23Speaker 4: home run hitter type guy, could still get twenty thirty
- 19:26Speaker 4: big explosive runs, and he was certainly the best pass blocker.
- 19:30Speaker 4: And it got to a point where Pollard had to get,
- 19:32Speaker 4: you know, almost just as good at that and then
- 19:35Speaker 4: he was, you know, he was a better runner and
- 19:36Speaker 4: some other things. So right now, all I'm saying is is,
- 19:40Speaker 4: you know, I think Javonte Williams is still your best
- 19:43Speaker 4: guy in a lot of your areas. Miles Sanders can
- 19:45Speaker 4: come and give him a break. Let's see if Jayden
- 19:48Speaker 4: Blue has done the necessary things to kind of get
- 19:50Speaker 4: to that level too. Let's go to a Sergeant Seue
- 19:53Speaker 4: and Fort Worth is next?
- 19:55Speaker 1: Good? Good? What's up?
- 19:57Speaker 8: Okay, I'm gonna say this seriously this time at ease,
- 19:59Speaker 8: every buddy, because I feel like a lot of people
- 20:02Speaker 8: are like, may maybe we're confident, and y'all know me,
- 20:05Speaker 8: I'm a positive guy and I always want to be positive.
- 20:07Speaker 8: But we can't just completely overlook the giants. Not that
- 20:11Speaker 8: they're amazing or anything like that, but there's a lot
- 20:14Speaker 8: of stuff that we have to clean up, you know
- 20:15Speaker 8: what I mean? And I think it's Sebastian and correct
- 20:17Speaker 8: me if I'm wrong making And I do want to
- 20:19Speaker 8: say Sebastian is one of my favorite callers if that
- 20:21Speaker 8: is his name, the one with the crystal ball. But man,
- 20:25Speaker 8: if there is a scenario where there's four minutes left
- 20:28Speaker 8: and Dak is on the sideline, Milton, you know, that's
- 20:31Speaker 8: a scenario that I can't imagine because as a coaching staff,
- 20:34Speaker 8: you have to look at your last game and realize, like, hey,
- 20:37Speaker 8: we had drops, we had a fumble, we had containment issues,
- 20:40Speaker 8: we had rush rush lane issues, like we have we're
- 20:43Speaker 8: down in a corner now like we have we have
- 20:46Speaker 8: to take this. If there if there is a scenario
- 20:48Speaker 8: where you're doing well and you're controlling the football game,
- 20:50Speaker 8: and then maybe you start working on things that you
- 20:52Speaker 8: didn't do well last season. I mean, I'm sorry last game.
- 20:55Speaker 8: You know we've mentioned that, you know, three minute offense
- 20:58Speaker 8: was something that I don't feel like was executed well.
- 21:00Speaker 8: So I feel like as a coaching staff, if you
- 21:02Speaker 8: do find yourself up, you know, significantly, maybe your mindset
- 21:06Speaker 8: doesn't shift to let's evaluate these young players or let's
- 21:09Speaker 8: get these guys of rest. I think the mindset should
- 21:11Speaker 8: be in my opinion, Who am I I'm just some guy,
- 21:14Speaker 8: but I think the either the mindset should be, you know,
- 21:17Speaker 8: let's evaluate how we handle certain scenarios and situations that
- 21:20Speaker 8: we didn't handle well last week, you know what I mean.
- 21:23Speaker 8: And again, that's that's if we put ourselves in the
- 21:25Speaker 8: situation to have that luxury. Because you know, the Giants
- 21:28Speaker 8: are still an NFL team. You know, they still have weapons.
- 21:30Speaker 8: I think they have sneaky good wide receivers, you know
- 21:32Speaker 8: what I mean. So with us being a little bit
- 21:34Speaker 8: weak at corner. You know, I'm not saying that we're gonna,
- 21:36Speaker 8: you know, not win the game. I'll call tomorrow hopefully
- 21:38Speaker 8: and get my prediction in. But I'm just saying at
- 21:41Speaker 8: ease everybody, And that's all I got to say. Nick,
- 21:43Speaker 8: appreciate it, brothers.
- 21:43Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I would like to see, you know, a lot
- 21:50Speaker 4: of those different scenarios. I think one thing that that's
- 21:53Speaker 4: good for the Cowboys as far as the offense is.
- 21:55Speaker 1: You know, it is one one game.
- 21:58Speaker 4: But we did hear, you know a little bit about
- 22:01Speaker 4: Pickens like why didn't he get the ball more and shot?
- 22:05Speaker 4: He said, well, it's it's every game. You know, it'll
- 22:07Speaker 4: be week to week. Dack will talk today, He'll he'll
- 22:09Speaker 4: say that, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm not
- 22:11Speaker 4: gonna go out of my way to try to get
- 22:12Speaker 4: anybody to the ball, but you know, I'll go with
- 22:14Speaker 4: my reads. But you know, and then you so I
- 22:17Speaker 4: do think though they say that, but I still think
- 22:19Speaker 4: you'll see Pickings more involved.
- 22:21Speaker 1: There.
- 22:21Speaker 4: You got a receiver on the other side that is
- 22:25Speaker 4: probably pretty pissed off. You know at the narrative of
- 22:29Speaker 4: here he is dropping passes. He's better than that.
- 22:32Speaker 8: He knows.
- 22:32Speaker 4: I mean, he's one of the best wide receivers in
- 22:34Speaker 4: the game. Everyone knows that, and he's got to go
- 22:37Speaker 4: out there he's gonna have something to prove as well.
- 22:39Speaker 4: You know, he's gonna he's gonna want he's gonna want
- 22:41Speaker 4: the football. He's not gonna want anything to hit his
- 22:44Speaker 4: hands and not be a catch. So I think you
- 22:47Speaker 4: got both receivers. They're gonna try to make some plays.
- 22:49Speaker 4: That's a good thing, you know, that's a good thing.
- 22:51Speaker 4: I think this offense can can really uh, you know,
- 22:55Speaker 4: move the ball, and if that happens, I think that
- 22:58Speaker 4: they'll score more than the Giants. E. I just think
- 23:00Speaker 4: that Johns will have a hard time keeping up. But
- 23:03Speaker 4: we'll see. That's just kind of what I think right now.
- 23:05Speaker 4: Let's go to break real quick on Cowboys storyline. We'll

- 25:02Speaker 4: All right, back here on Cowboys storyline. The storyline right
- 25:07Speaker 4: now for for this team is doron Bland. Looks like
- 25:11Speaker 4: he's going to be out for a game or two,
- 25:15Speaker 4: maybe a little longer.
- 25:16Speaker 1: It's got a foot injury.
- 25:17Speaker 4: We're gonna know more about it but right now, and
- 25:21Speaker 4: I think that because of the injury rules and the
- 25:25Speaker 4: i R, we'll find out exactly kind of what they
- 25:28Speaker 4: do based off of We'll find out sorry, how severe
- 25:33Speaker 4: it is with what they do, because if they if
- 25:35Speaker 4: they say, well we'll put him on IR, then we
- 25:37Speaker 4: know looks like a four week injury or so if
- 25:40Speaker 4: they don't do that this week, then that means they
- 25:42Speaker 4: think like he could probably get back before that window,
- 25:46Speaker 4: which is obviously a good thing. All right, Lester in
- 25:48Speaker 4: Minnesota is next up?
- 25:54Speaker 18: How you doing that?
- 25:55Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 25:57Speaker 18: I'm doing well?
- 25:58Speaker 7: Man?
- 25:59Speaker 18: Hey, I agree we shouldn't take any team for granted.
- 26:04Speaker 18: So my score for the the game this week would
- 26:10Speaker 18: be twenty seven seventeen Cowboys. Okay, but I have a
- 26:15Speaker 18: question about our cornerback situation. I know Bland is out
- 26:20Speaker 18: for the game or two or three? Are they're gonna
- 26:24Speaker 18: put them on I R or just gonna be out there?
- 26:28Speaker 18: And who who's gonna take? You know, what's what's our
- 26:31Speaker 18: lineup gonna be like? And uh, I know Clowney one
- 26:35Speaker 18: more thing. I know Clowney was in the building yesterday.
- 26:38Speaker 18: Are we in up viewing anyone else or looking at
- 26:41Speaker 18: anyone else as far as D N and d D
- 26:44Speaker 18: tackle And that's.
- 26:47Speaker 7: All I have.
- 26:48Speaker 4: Okay, all right, thanks Lester. Let's go to cornerback first.
- 26:54Speaker 4: You might not have heard exactly right before the right
- 26:57Speaker 4: before you got on the air, I just kind of
- 26:59Speaker 4: mentioned that we'll see if they're going to put them
- 27:01Speaker 4: on IR that they haven't made that decision. That will
- 27:04Speaker 4: let us know just about how severe things are. I
- 27:06Speaker 4: I from what I've been told, they're not there yet
- 27:10Speaker 4: to do that with Bland. They don't think it's going
- 27:13Speaker 4: to be that severe, which is good news. They have
- 27:16Speaker 4: options inside. They could go with Ready Steward. He played
- 27:21Speaker 4: He's played two games once last week with the Eagles
- 27:24Speaker 4: against the Eagles. Sorry the one last season with the
- 27:28Speaker 4: Bears for one game with Eberflus, But he's a guy
- 27:33Speaker 4: that could play in the slot. They also could bring
- 27:37Speaker 4: up from the practice squads Ion Childress, so that that
- 27:41Speaker 4: would be another another option there. And you know the
- 27:47Speaker 4: other cornerbacks on the team, I'm obviously Digs and Kyrie
- 27:51Speaker 4: Elam would be starting. You got Trey quiz Bridges who
- 27:55Speaker 4: they picked up last week as well, So that would
- 27:59Speaker 4: be their their options if they want to do that,
- 28:01Speaker 4: go internally. And then as far as Jadevian clown he goes, Yes,
- 28:06Speaker 4: he was here yesterday. He left. I actually saw him
- 28:13Speaker 4: leave and I was like staring at him, like which
- 28:16Speaker 4: way is he going? And he went to the left,
- 28:18Speaker 4: which is where the hotel is, So maybe he's maybe
- 28:21Speaker 4: he's staying there.
- 28:22Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 28:24Speaker 4: Maybe maybe he was going to the pro shop they
- 28:26Speaker 4: could be, or maybe it was just going to go
- 28:28Speaker 4: out on the Tolsto's plas out there and run run
- 28:31Speaker 4: routes and like a lot of the little kids do
- 28:33Speaker 4: and other people do.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Hopefully he's at the.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Hotel and from what from what I've heard there is
- 28:40Speaker 4: that it looks promising that they will sign him. That's
- 28:43Speaker 4: the last I've heard. Money's going to be a factor here.
- 28:47Speaker 4: And maybe it's a situation too of you know, he
- 28:50Speaker 4: he's on the team, it's probably just gonna be for
- 28:52Speaker 4: one year, which means every week that's going to be
- 28:55Speaker 4: a pretty sizable hit on your on your roster, on
- 29:00Speaker 4: your salary cap. And if he's not gonna be ready
- 29:02Speaker 4: to play this game, which probably won't be, then why
- 29:06Speaker 4: sign him and make him inactive and pay him that,
- 29:09Speaker 4: you know, so, it wouldn't surprise me if they maybe
- 29:12Speaker 4: got it done Monday. But we'll see again. Who knows
- 29:17Speaker 4: what his other options are. But last I heard that
- 29:20Speaker 4: it's trending like he will. He will join the team.
- 29:25Speaker 4: It's got to be a good fit for the Cowboy's
- 29:26Speaker 4: got to be a good fit for him. It seems
- 29:28Speaker 4: like it would be on both sides. We have a
- 29:30Speaker 4: text line question. Yes, text line is still open eight
- 29:34Speaker 4: one seven two nine zero three two, it's still alive.
- 29:39Speaker 4: And Jeff in Oregon, his question is do you think,
- 29:44Speaker 4: unlike Michael Irvin, CD's drops had to do with the
- 29:47Speaker 4: fear of getting hit? Yes, those drops, those drops over
- 29:53Speaker 4: them and fear is maybe not the right word, but
- 29:57Speaker 4: there were there were two of them. There were guys
- 30:02Speaker 4: right right there. He was about I mean he was
- 30:04Speaker 4: right over the middle. On actually three, if you want
- 30:08Speaker 4: to say that very last one, the deep ball in
- 30:10Speaker 4: fourth down, was a drop. Go ahead, call it a drop.
- 30:14Speaker 4: It's a catchable ball for a guy that is the
- 30:16Speaker 4: number one receiver on the team and he makes thirty
- 30:18Speaker 4: four million a year. It's definitely a catchable ball. It
- 30:21Speaker 4: would be a great play. It'd be on ESPN's Top
- 30:24Speaker 4: ten plays, maybe if they would have won the game.
- 30:26Speaker 4: But it was a great play but still catchable. The
- 30:29Speaker 4: other three I would I would say were drops, and
- 30:31Speaker 4: all of them were slants over the middle or you
- 30:34Speaker 4: know deep deep en routes or you know that.
- 30:37Speaker 1: There's that third.
- 30:38Speaker 4: One that was a weird play where two receivers in
- 30:41Speaker 4: the same either way looked like there was another guy
- 30:43Speaker 4: that he was about to hit him, so his eyes
- 30:46Speaker 4: were probably looking at him. So I don't know about
- 30:48Speaker 4: fear of getting hit, but expecting a hit, expecting collision,
- 30:52Speaker 4: trying to make a play before you you've secured the ball.
- 30:56Speaker 4: You know, those those things happen, So that that's what
- 30:59Speaker 4: I would say to that, to that answer, I don't
- 31:01Speaker 4: think CD lamb Is is scared of getting hit.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Mean, he's he's a.
- 31:07Speaker 4: Slender guy, but he's not afraid to run the football
- 31:09Speaker 4: in between the tackles. We've seen him play running back
- 31:12Speaker 4: for this team. He would seeing him go over the middle.
- 31:15Speaker 4: I don't think that's the right word. I just think, yeah,
- 31:17Speaker 4: he was, he was anticipating collision and and it didn't
- 31:21Speaker 4: have his eye on the ball.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Uh. Greg, and Sacramento is our next.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Caller, Hey, Nick Morn, how are you doing?
- 31:28Speaker 1: Hey? Greg?
- 31:30Speaker 8: Hey, So just two real quick things.
- 31:32Speaker 7: I'll keep the short.
- 31:33Speaker 18: The first one is I didn't get to connect with
- 31:35Speaker 18: you and training cap unfortunately, but I wanted to know
- 31:38Speaker 18: how can.
- 31:38Speaker 11: I buy your book?
- 31:40Speaker 3: I wanted I wanted to get your book at sees
- 31:41Speaker 3: walls to talk and I want to, you know, buy
- 31:43Speaker 3: it from somewhere and hopefully eventually get it get it.
- 31:45Speaker 7: Signed by you.
- 31:46Speaker 9: But but anyway, how how can I get How can
- 31:49Speaker 9: I do that?
- 31:49Speaker 8: And then my football related question.
- 31:51Speaker 12: Is what what player or.
- 31:54Speaker 18: Position group do you think he needs to have the
- 31:57Speaker 18: most success in order for us to really eat the Giants.
- 32:02Speaker 8: Week?
- 32:02Speaker 7: And that's all I.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Got all right, greg U, thank you for the call.
- 32:08Speaker 4: Let me you can there's different ways that we could
- 32:11Speaker 4: do that with the book.
- 32:13Speaker 1: I will.
- 32:15Speaker 4: I'll tell you what in the text right now on
- 32:18Speaker 4: the text line text the show text your your information
- 32:22Speaker 4: where we can contact you and h and I'll contact
- 32:25Speaker 4: you and we can discuss that. You can use that,
- 32:28Speaker 4: especially if we know it's coming. Use the text line
- 32:31Speaker 4: eight one seven two nine zero three two nine eight
- 32:33Speaker 4: your information where we can contact you and then I
- 32:36Speaker 4: can help you with That was as far as the
- 32:38Speaker 4: book goes.
- 32:40Speaker 1: As far as.
- 32:40Speaker 4: Position groups this week, you know it starts with corner
- 32:44Speaker 4: I mean that that's one that's banged up, and it's
- 32:48Speaker 4: it's just crazy how they just can't catch a break
- 32:52Speaker 4: that position. It's always one or the other.
- 32:54Speaker 1: You know.
- 32:56Speaker 4: It's like tag team wrestling, like the well, if you're out, okay,
- 33:00Speaker 4: then it's my turn to be. How about battle royal?
- 33:03Speaker 4: Like we want them all out there at the same time,
- 33:05Speaker 4: all the corners, all the healthy cornerbacks, please. So that's
- 33:09Speaker 4: the position, even though the Giants maybe don't have, you know,
- 33:13Speaker 4: all world receivers that when Elite nighbors is really good.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Robinson still the guy man I think he's still there,
- 33:19Speaker 4: and he caught ten passes last year against them, So anyways,
- 33:24Speaker 4: I think that's that's a position group for sure. And
- 33:26Speaker 4: then you know your offensive line has got to play
- 33:30Speaker 4: really well in this game because it doesn't matter what
- 33:34Speaker 4: matchup it is, you're gonna be facing a talented person.
- 33:38Speaker 4: You're gonna be facing a really good first round pick
- 33:41Speaker 4: type of guy or an all pro whatever. Dexter Lawrence
- 33:45Speaker 4: is as good as it gets a defensive tackle, so
- 33:47Speaker 4: that those guys are gonna have to be on point
- 33:49Speaker 4: in the middle. Obviously, Thibodeau is great, Brian Burns is great.
- 33:57Speaker 4: Abdul Carter young guy, He's gonna be great.
- 34:00Speaker 1: We know that.
- 34:01Speaker 4: So that offensive line and cornerback, that's as simple as that.
- 34:06Speaker 4: All right, Jeremy and Salt Lake City is our next caller.
- 34:09Speaker 6: Hey, what's going on?
- 34:10Speaker 7: Nick?
- 34:12Speaker 6: I'm doing all right. I'm doing all right. Kind of
- 34:14Speaker 6: a rough day yesterday. I don't want to get a
- 34:16Speaker 6: pot of call. I just want to say, rip Charlie Kirk.
- 34:19Speaker 6: I know he's a Cowboys fan, is the biggest thing,
- 34:21Speaker 6: and it's always sad when the Cowboys fan goes down
- 34:24Speaker 6: that way. But anyway, onto football. I'm excited for the
- 34:30Speaker 6: game this Sunday. I think I think there's been a
- 34:33Speaker 6: lot of good points a lot of people are making.
- 34:37Speaker 6: I think our biggest I think our biggest test is
- 34:42Speaker 6: going to be obviously that defensive line, but our I
- 34:45Speaker 6: think our offensive line is kind of built for these
- 34:48Speaker 6: I think we've kind of went out and built this
- 34:50Speaker 6: offensive line to get past these teams, you know, Eagles.
- 34:54Speaker 6: I mean, as good as we looked against the Eagles,
- 34:56Speaker 6: I know they didn't have Carter in the middle, but
- 34:59Speaker 6: they still w toe to toe with them, and so
- 35:02Speaker 6: it gives me a lot of hope. But I also
- 35:04Speaker 6: feel like this is the game. This is a good,
- 35:07Speaker 6: get right game to where we get everything kicking on
- 35:12Speaker 6: all four cylinders and I'm forty to nothing. That's that's
- 35:16Speaker 6: what's going to be, just like last year. Man, We're
- 35:19Speaker 6: gonna have a good game. Often, everybody's gonna show up,
- 35:22Speaker 6: special teams, defense. I'm excited for this game because I
- 35:26Speaker 6: got a lot of Giants fans friends. But yeah, I
- 35:32Speaker 6: just I just don't see him losing this game at all.
- 35:34Speaker 1: But all right, thanks, thank you.
- 35:35Speaker 4: J appreciate the call. I don't know about forty to nothing.
- 35:40Speaker 4: But I never would would expect that. I would never
- 35:44Speaker 4: expect forty to nothing. That's why made that game so great. Yeah,
- 35:50Speaker 4: I mean you've said everything that you know that the
- 35:54Speaker 4: other guys that have said and we'll see if it's
- 35:58Speaker 4: a good right game or not. I mean it, it
- 36:00Speaker 4: could be has the makings of one. But they've got
- 36:03Speaker 4: to go out and if I've said it once, I've
- 36:05Speaker 4: said it a thousand times that that you know, today's
- 36:09Speaker 4: the day that you dominate the Giants Today, Thursday, that's
- 36:15Speaker 4: how you beat the Giants like you're supposed to beat
- 36:17Speaker 4: them yesterday. That's how you beat the Giants. It's it's
- 36:22Speaker 4: not about just going out on Sunday. It's about making
- 36:26Speaker 4: sure that they know exactly what to expect there when
- 36:29Speaker 4: they're facing the Giants D line. They know what kind
- 36:32Speaker 4: of routes that that Russell Wilson wants to throw, and
- 36:35Speaker 4: what receivers can do this and when the tied end
- 36:37Speaker 4: goes in motion, here this is what this means. It's
- 36:41Speaker 4: kind of hard to do that with just one game
- 36:43Speaker 4: under their belt, but you know you can. You can
- 36:44Speaker 4: figure out what preseason concepts and some of the routes
- 36:48Speaker 4: that are getting called and all that stuff. But it's
- 36:50Speaker 4: the middle of the week that you take care of
- 36:52Speaker 4: business and you get as prepared as you can be
- 36:55Speaker 4: to go out there and play, because I think if
- 36:56Speaker 4: the Cowboys play their best game, and I think if
- 36:58Speaker 4: the Giants play their best game, then you, yeah, these
- 37:00Speaker 4: scores of thirty eight seventeen, twenty seven, sixteen, twenty seven
- 37:04Speaker 4: to seventeen, all that makes sense, if not worse than that.
- 37:07Speaker 4: But when you're not as prepared, that's when games like
- 37:10Speaker 4: that happen. The text line is blowing up here. I
- 37:15Speaker 4: love it.
- 37:15Speaker 1: It's like it's.
- 37:17Speaker 4: Reborn Mike g from Corpus Christy. What are the thoughts
- 37:21Speaker 4: on picking's not going one hundred percent every play? I
- 37:26Speaker 4: don't have thoughts on that because I don't I don't
- 37:28Speaker 4: know that to be the case.
- 37:31Speaker 1: I don't. I don't if that's if that's a thing.
- 37:35Speaker 4: If that's something that's they're thrown out there on the
- 37:38Speaker 4: social media. I don't know if I've necessarily seen that.
- 37:42Speaker 4: Just uh, go make place, I mean, go go go
- 37:46Speaker 4: make plays.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Get the ball.
- 37:47Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's important to kind of keep those
- 37:50Speaker 4: receivers happy, both of them get it, because when they're
- 37:53Speaker 4: both getting the football making plays. I think this offense
- 37:56Speaker 4: can be really, really special. So I really don't have
- 37:59Speaker 4: thoughts on all that. Let's go to the phone lines here,
- 38:02Speaker 4: Chris and San Angelo.
- 38:04Speaker 11: Mister Nick, how are you doing today, Budd?
- 38:07Speaker 18: I'm doing well, thank you.
- 38:10Speaker 11: As far as this coming game, the Cowboys should be
- 38:13Speaker 11: favored and this one, but I think it's going to
- 38:16Speaker 11: be a good test to come in under those circumstances
- 38:19Speaker 11: and then hopefully they won't get that wake up call,
- 38:23Speaker 11: you know, sometime in the second quarter that says, oh,
- 38:26Speaker 11: by the way, these guys were playing or you know,
- 38:28Speaker 11: professionals too, and the coach is probably on the hot seat.
- 38:35Speaker 11: So I'm guessing, and I'm guessing they're gonna if they
- 38:41Speaker 11: have to come in with some kind of fight in them.
- 38:43Speaker 11: And I mean, they're playing the Cowboys, and I've always
- 38:47Speaker 11: said there's two teams every year that have a target
- 38:51Speaker 11: on their back, one of them missed last year's Super
- 38:54Speaker 11: Bowl winner and the Dallas Cowboys for some.
- 38:56Speaker 18: Reason, So no doubt I will.
- 39:00Speaker 11: With all that being said, I still think they'll win.
- 39:04Speaker 11: I'll go ahead and pick the score to be thirty
- 39:08Speaker 11: two to twenty one, okay, and then I just oh,
- 39:13Speaker 11: and I just looked down saw that it is September eleventh.
- 39:17Speaker 11: I was going to ask you, I don't think i've
- 39:18Speaker 11: ever heard you say what you were doing when that happened,
- 39:22Speaker 11: and then I will hang up and listen.
- 39:24Speaker 4: Okay, all right, sounds good. I don't know why I laughed.
- 39:29Speaker 4: It's not funny at all, but I just remember that story.
- 39:32Speaker 4: I'll say it before I go to break. It was
- 39:35Speaker 4: so obviously two thousand and one. It was like my
- 39:39Speaker 4: third year working for the Cowboys, and I remember we
- 39:43Speaker 4: had an intern that was as a college kid. He
- 39:47Speaker 4: was from U SMU and he called me and it
- 39:51Speaker 4: was like I was trying to like get ready in
- 39:53Speaker 4: the morning whatever, and he called me and he hit
- 39:55Speaker 4: me just like playing playing the abilding to ring to
- 39:59Speaker 4: come in. And I was like what. He's like, we're
- 40:01Speaker 4: plane at the building in New Yordy. Do I need
- 40:03Speaker 4: to come in?
- 40:03Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, yes, just come on in,
- 40:07Speaker 1: let's see.
- 40:08Speaker 7: You know.
- 40:08Speaker 1: It was like not even sure what was going on.
- 40:10Speaker 1: And it turned on the TV.
- 40:11Speaker 4: So I was just getting ready for work and turned
- 40:13Speaker 4: on the TV and uh, I can't remember if it
- 40:16Speaker 4: was I don't remember all the coverage. I don't remember
- 40:20Speaker 4: if you know, if if we had already seen the
- 40:22Speaker 4: second plane or not. I know when the first plane,
- 40:27Speaker 4: That's what I feel like was the first plane had hit,
- 40:30Speaker 4: and then that was enough to kind of get the
- 40:32Speaker 4: news going.
- 40:33Speaker 1: And then and then I.
- 40:35Speaker 4: Think I remember watching live the second one, and that's
- 40:40Speaker 4: when you knew that, you know, it was a different situation.
- 40:45Speaker 4: You know, it wasn't an accident or what or what happened,
- 40:48Speaker 4: this is this was something that was that was. It
- 40:51Speaker 4: was you know, horrific obviously, and I've seen I've seen
- 40:55Speaker 4: some you know, documentaries on it and things like that.
- 40:58Speaker 4: There's there's there's a couple that I've watched that are fascinating,
- 41:02Speaker 4: but you know, it's just heartbreaking and as uh as
- 41:06Speaker 4: I said, and to my son had to quote me
- 41:09Speaker 4: on it for his little paper, but I said, you know,
- 41:11Speaker 4: that day we became a much safer nation. It's unfortunate
- 41:17Speaker 4: that it took that to get there. But you know,
- 41:20Speaker 4: when you're thinking about travel and things like that, I mean,
- 41:23Speaker 4: it's obviously a much safer, but you know, too bad
- 41:27Speaker 4: that it got there. Again, I'm not trying to get politically.
- 41:29Speaker 4: Everyone has their own thoughts on that kind of stuff,
- 41:31Speaker 4: and I really don't want to go down that road,
- 41:33Speaker 4: but as far as that goes, And then I remember,
- 41:35Speaker 4: I remember the game. You know, we were supposed to
- 41:37Speaker 4: play the Lions that week, Week two, and that game
- 41:41Speaker 4: got moved to the end of the season, and so
- 41:44Speaker 4: it was the very very last game of the season.
- 41:47Speaker 4: But so they didn't play, you know, the game in
- 41:49Speaker 4: week two, and then week three they played the Chargers
- 41:53Speaker 4: and remember George t coming out with the with the
- 41:55Speaker 4: flag and they lost that game. But it was a
- 41:59Speaker 4: great year for the Cowboys. So that's this kind of
- 42:01Speaker 4: some of the memories that I have there. Let's let's
- 42:04Speaker 4: take a last break here on Cowboys storyline. Be right
- 42:06Speaker 4: back after this.

- 43:21Speaker 4: All right back here on Cowboys Storyline. Got a chance
- 43:25Speaker 4: to get a couple more text lines and a couple
- 43:27Speaker 4: more calls. Let's get Let's get a text line.
- 43:29Speaker 1: Question.
- 43:29Speaker 4: Alan and Phoenix wants to know if a reunion with
- 43:32Speaker 4: Cornerbacks Stefan Gilmour would be anyway possible? Yeah, possible. I
- 43:39Speaker 4: don't think the Cowboys feel like he his speed is
- 43:45Speaker 4: where it was even a couple of years ago. He
- 43:49Speaker 4: can still make plays. But I mean there's watch them
- 43:54Speaker 4: go ahead and sign them and then you know that'll happen.
- 43:56Speaker 4: But you know, he's an older cornerback, and I mean
- 44:00Speaker 4: that it's that's that's gonna be the issue there. He's
- 44:03Speaker 4: a very smart player, crafty, but you know, I think
- 44:08Speaker 4: that from an athletic standpoint, that there's the reason why
- 44:11Speaker 4: they haven't gone that way. And a lot of a
- 44:12Speaker 4: lot of times too, it's money for these guys, and
- 44:14Speaker 4: Bean Gilmore Clowney like, yeah, they'll come back and play,
- 44:17Speaker 4: but not not for this. It's gonna have to be
- 44:20Speaker 4: this money. And so that that's why you don't just
- 44:23Speaker 4: take a flyer on these guys. You gotta you gotta
- 44:25Speaker 4: pay him. And he asked the cowboys have the money
- 44:27Speaker 4: to do it. And but I think it's more about,
- 44:30Speaker 4: you know, is he is he the right fit for
- 44:32Speaker 4: what they're they're trying to do? Do they feel like
- 44:34Speaker 4: he can still play? Those are questions I'm sure that
- 44:37Speaker 4: they're asking themselves right now. All right, let's go to
- 44:40Speaker 4: Joe in Paradise, Texas.
- 44:43Speaker 18: Hey, Nick, are you doing good?
- 44:45Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 44:46Speaker 7: Man?
- 44:47Speaker 18: You're prod of the show man I've been a f
- 44:49Speaker 18: thirty plus years and uh I even named my all
- 44:52Speaker 18: of a sudden.
- 44:54Speaker 5: You know.
- 44:54Speaker 14: So I'm a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys and.
- 44:59Speaker 3: About this game on Sunday, I have feeling it all
- 45:03Speaker 3: comes down to the churches.
- 45:04Speaker 7: You know.
- 45:04Speaker 3: As a former coach, I always talk about the defensive line.
- 45:08Speaker 18: You know, we win that line of scrimmage.
- 45:09Speaker 3: We win this game on Sunday, And uh, I think
- 45:13Speaker 3: you know every you know, the defensive line will make
- 45:16Speaker 3: all those guys in the back, you know, the corner,
- 45:18Speaker 3: I mean, the linebackers, the safety, the corners, that the
- 45:21Speaker 3: defensive it all wints in and in that defense, that
- 45:24Speaker 3: that line.
- 45:24Speaker 18: Of scrimmage we we make.
- 45:26Speaker 14: The defensive line makes everybody looks everybody looks good. So
- 45:30Speaker 14: I believe that.
- 45:32Speaker 3: We win.
- 45:33Speaker 18: We win that line of scrimms to win this game.
- 45:34Speaker 3: And I think we have the offensive line the way
- 45:37Speaker 3: they played against Philadelpia this past weekend.
- 45:40Speaker 18: Uh, just watching film and watching.
- 45:42Speaker 14: The city of our offensive line.
- 45:46Speaker 18: We uh we got this game on Sunday. It's you know,
- 45:49Speaker 18: then Mart Games, I can never say thirty something to
- 45:53Speaker 18: zero or forty something because this Mart Games.
- 45:55Speaker 3: It doesn't matter the record when when it's when, when
- 45:58Speaker 3: it's game time, it's the record don't matter or.
- 46:01Speaker 18: Who's good or who it's a rivalry game.
- 46:04Speaker 3: And I remember his rivory games back in the late eighties,
- 46:07Speaker 3: you know during out you know that all comes down
- 46:10Speaker 3: to that defense, defense win championship and offensive cell tickets.
- 46:15Speaker 3: So I believe in in our defense and our defense
- 46:18Speaker 3: will win that game.
- 46:19Speaker 4: Plus, Joe, what did you name your your your son? Again,
- 46:21Speaker 4: I didn't hear that part. Okay, yeah, no, I'm familiar
- 46:27Speaker 4: with him. I didn't hear exactly what you said. All right,
- 46:30Speaker 4: sounds good. Well say hello to Emmett and uh, you're right,
- 46:34Speaker 4: thanks for the call, Joe. Yeah, I mean I believe
- 46:38Speaker 4: all of these games come down to that. I mean
- 46:40Speaker 4: I I really do. I think every game played tonight
- 46:44Speaker 4: in a high school stadium, Tomorrow night, Saturday, and then
- 46:49Speaker 4: Sunday if if you know when when you look at
- 46:52Speaker 4: these games, that's why you know the six A high
- 46:56Speaker 4: school team doesn't play the one A team because of
- 46:58Speaker 4: the line. Yeah, the one A guy, this small little school,
- 47:02Speaker 4: you know, they played both ways and they don't even
- 47:06Speaker 4: have a basketball team yet because all of them are
- 47:08Speaker 4: playing football. Those schools they still have athletes, but the
- 47:12Speaker 4: big guys they don't have that. And and and that's
- 47:15Speaker 4: that's what makes the difference in these games. That's what
- 47:17Speaker 4: makes the difference in every game, including the the NFL.
- 47:21Speaker 4: That if you're gonna just keep running the football, run
- 47:23Speaker 4: the football, then you won't ever throw. And so it
- 47:28Speaker 4: all comes down to that. And I believe that. I
- 47:30Speaker 4: think the All Cowboys offensive line has got to be
- 47:33Speaker 4: good enough to stop them. They're gonna have to be
- 47:35Speaker 4: good enough to run it and be balanced. The defensive
- 47:37Speaker 4: lines got to get after Russ. They got to you know,
- 47:40Speaker 4: they put the pressure there so the cornerbacks don't have
- 47:42Speaker 4: to cover long. If you think about that that game,
- 47:45Speaker 4: how much cover they didn't have covered sacks. But they
- 47:47Speaker 4: had a lot of games at a lot of plays
- 47:49Speaker 4: where the coverage was really good. You know, the line
- 47:52Speaker 4: just wasn't there, but they held up. I mean, for
- 47:55Speaker 4: for not getting home that much and not get a
- 47:58Speaker 4: lot of pass rush. The thing that DeVante Smith had
- 48:01Speaker 4: what two catches and aj Brown had won all of
- 48:04Speaker 4: it for like under twenty yards, that wasn't the problem.
- 48:07Speaker 4: And Goddard caught seven, but it was for forty you know,
- 48:10Speaker 4: So the secondary. I thought I did a good job.
- 48:12Speaker 4: That's gonna be an issue there, especially with a Bland
- 48:14Speaker 4: not playing. Another text line question, Mike from Houston, what's
- 48:19Speaker 4: the latest on demo Overshown looks pretty good in his
- 48:25Speaker 4: rehab stuff that we've seen, not even wearing a brace.
- 48:29Speaker 1: Looking like.
- 48:32Speaker 4: You know, so he's gonna he's gonna miss this game
- 48:34Speaker 4: and then the next two. That's what happens when you're
- 48:36Speaker 4: on PUP. You'll be out for the first four games
- 48:39Speaker 4: for sure. Then after that they can start the twenty
- 48:42Speaker 4: one day window if they want to. They don't have to,
- 48:45Speaker 4: they can wait on that. But whenever they start the window,
- 48:49Speaker 4: then then he'll start practicing and then they'll see where
- 48:52Speaker 4: he is. But they don't have to start it right out.
- 48:54Speaker 4: They don't have to do anything. He's on injured reserve
- 48:57Speaker 4: or PUP. He's on PUP for he could be on
- 48:59Speaker 4: there for the entire season. But it looks like just
- 49:03Speaker 4: looks like that after these four weeks, I could see him,
- 49:09Speaker 4: I could see the window being open, and I could
- 49:11Speaker 4: see him practicing maybe for another couple So you know,
- 49:14Speaker 4: this is what it looks for me obviously not a doctor,
- 49:16Speaker 4: but that's I would think he's I think he comes
- 49:19Speaker 4: back in plays before the halfway point of the season.
- 49:23Speaker 4: I think that that would happen. All right, let's go,
- 49:26Speaker 4: let's go one more call real quick, David from Browne.
- 49:30Speaker 1: What's up man? How you doing?
- 49:32Speaker 7: I'm doing great, brother. I've been a cowboy since sixty seven,
- 49:37Speaker 7: watching them with my dad as a kid. And we're
- 49:40Speaker 7: lose or draw or anything, I'll be a cowboy to
- 49:43Speaker 7: the day I pass on. Let me get to the
- 49:46Speaker 7: Let me get to my three observations quickly. Number one
- 49:49Speaker 7: on offense. When you're on offense, the Cowboys cannot be
- 49:54Speaker 7: just standing around not blocking if you're not getting that
- 49:58Speaker 7: play onto like like see he was getting the ball constantly.
- 50:03Speaker 7: You know the defense was going to be hoarding on him,
- 50:06Speaker 7: try trying to not let him catch the ball, which
- 50:09Speaker 7: they did. You know, Dallas and the offense coordinator, they
- 50:14Speaker 7: need to start targeting the rest of the players. You know,
- 50:18Speaker 7: if they're targeting one and not being able to do it,
- 50:20Speaker 7: they need they need to start getting the pieces that
- 50:23Speaker 7: they got and start running the ball.
- 50:25Speaker 3: Better.
- 50:25Speaker 7: Get those people on there, they're the best running backs,
- 50:29Speaker 7: and start the offensive the right way and go forward,
- 50:33Speaker 7: not a right.
- 50:35Speaker 4: Okay, let's get those other two observations quickly, Sorry.
- 50:38Speaker 7: David, Okay, no problem. The second one on the defense,
- 50:42Speaker 7: coach Vince Lombardi said, what you're doing out there? Why
- 50:45Speaker 7: are you tackling a two hundred and fifty two hundred
- 50:48Speaker 7: and sixty pound running back on the upper part of
- 50:50Speaker 7: the body. If you kick out of his legs, his ankles,
- 50:53Speaker 7: his knee, that man is going down. And why are
- 50:56Speaker 7: they waiting? We got safeties, we got linebackers. If you
- 51:00Speaker 7: the quarterback moving for right to left, why are you
- 51:02Speaker 7: standing to see where they're gonna run? And why do
- 51:04Speaker 7: you stand back there looking for those people offense to
- 51:08Speaker 7: come to you. No, you attack, just like Jimmy Johnson
- 51:11Speaker 7: used to say, you attack. Don't sit on your laurels
- 51:15Speaker 7: waiting to see what's going to develop. No, you attack,
- 51:17Speaker 7: you disrupt. And the other thing, the other observation very
- 51:22Speaker 7: quickly is the players is not a violent game. It's
- 51:25Speaker 7: the way the game is played. The thing needs that
- 51:27Speaker 7: players are getting old, they need to get regenerated. It's
- 51:30Speaker 7: called t cell regeneration. This regeneration starts within the body
- 51:36Speaker 7: with your own cells, and they reproduce what you're missing.
- 51:39Speaker 7: And what your body is degenerating. That's why we got
- 51:43Speaker 7: so many people on injured Reserve because their bodies are
- 51:47Speaker 7: getting older. Those are my three observations.
- 51:49Speaker 4: Brother, and thanks all right, David, thanks for the call.
- 51:52Speaker 4: I don't even know how to touch that last one.
- 51:54Speaker 4: I'll say this, And Vince Lombardi was talking to a
- 51:56Speaker 4: guy that's two hundred and fifty pounds. I mean he
- 51:58Speaker 4: was probably talking to is like guard or center. But
- 52:02Speaker 4: I understand your your your point there, good stuff. Appreciate it.
- 52:07Speaker 1: It is hard.
- 52:07Speaker 4: We had to rush you on your on your first call,
- 52:09Speaker 4: but that's kind of where we were. We got Cowboys
- 52:10Speaker 4: break coming up and good good stuff. Twelve twelve calls
- 52:14Speaker 4: for text. Uh, we'll do it again tomorrow for Chris Beam.
- 52:17Speaker 4: I'm Nick Eatman. See you next time on Storyline.
