- 0:06Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:13Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:18Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Here's Nick Eatman, Hello.
- 0:26Speaker 4: And welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette. Cowboys are
- 0:31Speaker 4: now officially on a bye after a loss to the Cardinals.
- 0:37Speaker 4: They are three five and one at the halfway point.
- 0:41Speaker 4: Even further than that, now nine games in eight games
- 0:44Speaker 4: to go. The climb is very very uphill. The Cowboys
- 0:50Speaker 4: are gonna do anything this year. What a demoralizing loss
- 0:54Speaker 4: to the Cardinals, who had lost five in a row
- 0:57Speaker 4: coming off thereby, and the defense did what it did
- 1:03Speaker 4: does it's what it does.
- 1:06Speaker 3: And obviously the offense.
- 1:08Speaker 4: This was a huge step in the wrong direction for
- 1:11Speaker 4: the offense because there was one of those games where
- 1:13Speaker 4: you kind of thought they had a chance to to,
- 1:16Speaker 4: you know, put up a lot of points like they've
- 1:17Speaker 4: done at at and T Stadium, and they just certainly
- 1:19Speaker 4: did not. They really scored ten points if you take
- 1:22Speaker 4: away the special team's touchdown and the Cowboys fall. Now,
- 1:28Speaker 4: they made a trade. They made a trade. The first
- 1:30Speaker 4: thing on Tuesday morning, they did was a acquired Logan
- 1:34Speaker 4: Wilson linebacker from Cincinnati Bengals. We'll talk about that. We'll
- 1:37Speaker 4: let you guys talk about it. Eight eight eight eight
- 1:39Speaker 4: five five two two ninety seven. We're gonna be quick today,
- 1:42Speaker 4: so let's start it off. Brian in Kansas City, Brian,
- 1:44Speaker 4: what's up?
- 1:45Speaker 5: Good morning, sir.
- 1:46Speaker 3: How are you doing?
- 1:48Speaker 5: Ah Man, that was painful. Hey, before we say anything else,
- 1:51Speaker 5: though something you said at the end of last week.
- 1:54Speaker 5: I hope doctor Sunshine's doing okay. Yeah, wish the best
- 1:58Speaker 5: for your family. Thank you, that's the most important thing.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 2:02Speaker 5: Moving on quick to football. I don't know much about
- 2:05Speaker 5: Logan Wilson.
- 2:06Speaker 6: I just listened to Kyle give his twenty twenty evaluation
- 2:10Speaker 6: of you know, when he was coming out. We didn't
- 2:12Speaker 6: give much up, so he can't be worse than what
- 2:15Speaker 6: we got a linebacker. Right now, we got overshown coming back.
- 2:19Speaker 5: That gives me some hope. I hope for the rest
- 2:22Speaker 5: of the day. I hope we keep our picks, to
- 2:24Speaker 5: be honest with you, because I think our offensive tackles
- 2:28Speaker 5: can't pass block. They run blocked pretty well, but they
- 2:31Speaker 5: can't pass block. And last night I thought that was
- 2:35Speaker 5: the difference. I'll hang up and listen to what you
- 2:37Speaker 5: think about that.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Thanks man, all right, thank you.
- 2:39Speaker 4: I you know I like the trade because what I
- 2:44Speaker 4: like about the trade with Logan Wilson is number one,
- 2:47Speaker 4: from what I've been told, he's your best linebacker that
- 2:50Speaker 4: you have. And that's when overshown comes back too. I mean, like,
- 2:54Speaker 4: he's your best linebacker, and you know, he's a comparison,
- 3:00Speaker 4: a comparison maybe to a healthy vander esh That's that's
- 3:04Speaker 4: nice if that's the case. But if he is a
- 3:08Speaker 4: guy that can fit and can help you the content,
- 3:11Speaker 4: he'll be here for two or three years after this.
- 3:13Speaker 4: I mean, assuming he can he can go and play
- 3:15Speaker 4: and fit. So you know what you need. You're gonna
- 3:18Speaker 4: need a linebacker. You're gonna need to get an addition
- 3:21Speaker 4: in here. You tried to do that with Sanborn and
- 3:23Speaker 4: Murray didn't really work. This is this is an upgrade
- 3:26Speaker 4: from that supposedly. Let's see if that is the case,
- 3:30Speaker 4: and then as far as more trades for me, I
- 3:33Speaker 4: would I would if I have more opportunities to do
- 3:36Speaker 4: that kind of stuff, I would do it. If I
- 3:38Speaker 4: can get another veteran that comes in and it's better
- 3:41Speaker 4: than anybody that I have on the team at that position,
- 3:44Speaker 4: and it cost me is in the range of a
- 3:46Speaker 4: seventh round, maybe sixth or fifth, and and I know
- 3:50Speaker 4: that you know that that he's gonna be on the
- 3:53Speaker 4: team for a couple of years. I would do that.
- 3:56Speaker 4: I would do a couple of moves like that. All right,
- 3:57Speaker 4: Daveon and Illinois next, Davion.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Hey, what's up, nig Doud?
- 4:02Speaker 7: What's going on?
- 4:03Speaker 2: You doing doing well?
- 4:05Speaker 8: Man?
- 4:05Speaker 2: Just wanted to chuck pop in real fast. We I
- 4:09Speaker 2: like to pick. Hopefully we can. I was hoping rooting
- 4:13Speaker 2: for trying to been on try to get linebacker for
- 4:15Speaker 2: the longest. So hopefully we just linebacker, actually do or
- 4:18Speaker 2: we need to do it for as a linebacker, I
- 4:20Speaker 2: know we're looking at a safety and possibly a pass rusher,
- 4:23Speaker 2: So hopefully we pull something out of the hat and
- 4:26Speaker 2: get something else to help out with that, because I
- 4:28Speaker 2: think if we get something, we might can turn back
- 4:31Speaker 2: to clock to two out of eight team when we
- 4:33Speaker 2: was three and five and made the playoffs. So I
- 4:37Speaker 2: hope we can do that and get going. And I'll
- 4:40Speaker 2: get out there if I get on. I know it's
- 4:41Speaker 2: a quick day.
- 4:42Speaker 3: Thanks David appreciate that.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I like about Another thing about
- 4:46Speaker 4: Logan Wilson is that, you know, he has eleven interceptions
- 4:50Speaker 4: in his career. Now, you didn't have one this year.
- 4:53Speaker 4: I don't even think he had one last year. So
- 4:55Speaker 4: his first three four seasons had eleven picks. You know,
- 5:00Speaker 4: as the linebacker shows awareness, it shows a little bit
- 5:02Speaker 4: of past coverage ability as well, which is certainly what
- 5:06Speaker 4: you're looking for. So he's gonna have to come in
- 5:08Speaker 4: and learn what the system is and scheme and.
- 5:10Speaker 3: All that stuff. Budd he should be able to do that.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Again, this is not savior or anything like that, but
- 5:17Speaker 4: but when it comes to the linebacker position, he's better
- 5:20Speaker 4: than what you have and that that's that seems like,
- 5:23Speaker 4: you know, it's an upgrade to do that and to
- 5:25Speaker 4: give up a seventh round pick for it. So I'm
- 5:26Speaker 4: fine with that, all right, Chris and Saratoga Springs is next.
- 5:30Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how are you good? How are you not
- 5:33Speaker 9: too bad? Another bad laws for us?
- 5:35Speaker 7: Obviously.
- 5:37Speaker 9: Bottom line, we're an average football team right now. It's
- 5:39Speaker 9: that shows by by the way we're playing. We're nothing
- 5:43Speaker 9: more than an average football team. I like to move
- 5:45Speaker 9: for Logan Wilson called, you know, I call a bunch,
- 5:48Speaker 9: and I said, we need a linebacker. So I do
- 5:50Speaker 9: like that move. And it's only a seventh round pick.
- 5:53Speaker 9: So to win win for us on that one, I
- 5:56Speaker 9: would like to make one more move, I will I
- 5:59Speaker 9: will love to get it. I'm not messing with the
- 6:01Speaker 9: first round picks. I'm keeping those, not touching those. But
- 6:04Speaker 9: if we can get a defensive tackle, like somebody up
- 6:07Speaker 9: upstate New York area that area, I think would be
- 6:11Speaker 9: a great addition. But I think one more move would
- 6:15Speaker 9: be nice. And could have to have a couple of
- 6:17Speaker 9: years left in the contract. Nothing of one year rental.
- 6:19Speaker 9: We need something with a two at least two more
- 6:22Speaker 9: years after this year to make a move. But that's
- 6:25Speaker 9: all I got.
- 6:26Speaker 3: True. I'm with you.
- 6:27Speaker 4: I think we're on the same page there, and I
- 6:29Speaker 4: think the Cowboys are are feeling the same way. I mean,
- 6:33Speaker 4: you know, they'd like to have somebody in there that
- 6:36Speaker 4: that could help because you know, if you if you
- 6:39Speaker 4: do have to get some help there at lineback. I mean,
- 6:41Speaker 4: I'm sorry, defensive tackle that is going to help you
- 6:45Speaker 4: at your linebacker spot. It's going to let those guys
- 6:48Speaker 4: kind of you know, show that awareness, fly to the football,
- 6:51Speaker 4: do those kind of things. So watching the replay, I
- 6:55Speaker 4: didn't realize Sam Williams blocked that plant with his face
- 6:58Speaker 4: on the study blocked with his hand. But hey, either way,
- 7:02Speaker 4: the resulted in a touchdown and a needed touchdown.
- 7:06Speaker 3: All right, let's go.
- 7:07Speaker 4: I'm a in Napa, California, and I'm a hey.
- 7:11Speaker 10: Good morning, Nick. Chris said to be fast. So I
- 7:16Speaker 10: just want to say, man, I think that a coach
- 7:19Speaker 10: once said, or a great coach one said, you are
- 7:22Speaker 10: what you are halfway through the season. You know, that
- 7:26Speaker 10: was build ourselves, and man, we are what we are.
- 7:29Speaker 10: We're not a good defense. And now our coach are
- 7:33Speaker 10: is starting to call the game knowing how bad our
- 7:36Speaker 10: defense is instead of just kind of just sticking with
- 7:40Speaker 10: the game plan and running the ball, running the ball
- 7:43Speaker 10: and you know, taking with what points we have. I
- 7:47Speaker 10: think we really just shot ourselves in the foot. Obviously,
- 7:49Speaker 10: our defense did what they do every week, and our
- 7:52Speaker 10: offense it didn't do. And I don't know if a
- 7:56Speaker 10: player out there for a trade, you know, makes a difference.
- 7:58Speaker 10: You know, I definitely don't want to see, you know,
- 8:01Speaker 10: another mingo or anything like that. A guy that's not
- 8:03Speaker 10: even playing anything like he doesn't affect anything. So man, Nick,
- 8:08Speaker 10: thanks for always keeping you know, keeping all of us
- 8:11Speaker 10: straight and everything like that, not giving up on the season.
- 8:14Speaker 10: And love to hear what you have to say. And
- 8:17Speaker 10: every now and then, man, get an opinion from Chris.
- 8:20Speaker 10: I think he has some good good stuff too.
- 8:22Speaker 9: Or just like to hear what he has to say.
- 8:24Speaker 7: Do you take care?
- 8:24Speaker 10: And I appreciate everything, man, great work, keep it.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Up, buddy, appreciate it.
- 8:28Speaker 4: I think something that you said was Shotenheim or calling
- 8:32Speaker 4: the game because of the defense, and that's very very true,
- 8:37Speaker 4: you know. I I said it in the in the
- 8:39Speaker 4: press box, right off the right, off the bat, kick
- 8:42Speaker 4: the field goal, I mean right, I mean first drive
- 8:45Speaker 4: of the game. Go go get your field goal. You
- 8:48Speaker 4: know you're moving backwards here, so yeah, I know, I
- 8:51Speaker 4: know you want to go and set the tone and score.
- 8:53Speaker 4: But but but in every game they've won this year,
- 8:56Speaker 4: one or Tide that's averaging about forty points game. In
- 9:01Speaker 4: every game they've want to have tied Aubrey's kick the
- 9:03Speaker 4: field goal, if not two or three, So you can
- 9:06Speaker 4: kick field goals and still score points, they still count.
- 9:10Speaker 4: And I think that way he did it in the
- 9:12Speaker 4: first quarter. I think he did it too early in
- 9:15Speaker 4: the fourth. I'm kicking that field goal there on fourth
- 9:17Speaker 4: and four. I'm making it a two touchdown game and
- 9:19Speaker 4: then we'll see what happens.
- 9:20Speaker 3: And you never know how it plays out.
- 9:22Speaker 4: But they did get the ball back, they did go
- 9:23Speaker 4: and score, and they cut it to ten. Would have
- 9:25Speaker 4: been nice to see it there at seven, but that
- 9:28Speaker 4: wasn't the case. Anyways, Let's go to break here on
- 9:30Speaker 4: Cowboy Storyline'll be right back after this.

- 11:17Speaker 4: All right, welcome back to Cowboys starting line. I am
- 11:20Speaker 4: Nick Eatman, and we're talking Cowboys football.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Here.
- 11:23Speaker 4: Cowboys are the tough loss against the Cardinals. They did
- 11:25Speaker 4: make a trade to get some defensive help. See if
- 11:28Speaker 4: they make more before the deadline. Let's talk to Josh
- 11:32Speaker 4: and Princeton. He's next, Hey Nick, Hey, Josh, what's that man?
- 11:37Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 11:38Speaker 14: I used to hate the term complimentary football because I
- 11:42Speaker 14: feel like it should be obvious and understood that you
- 11:45Speaker 14: want to play well on all phases of the game.
- 11:48Speaker 14: But these defense, they are what they are. They got
- 11:51Speaker 14: a couple stops, They even got pressure on the quarterback.
- 11:54Speaker 14: You got a special team's touchdown. The offense got an
- 11:57Speaker 14: at least score thirty in capitalize on it. And that's
- 12:00Speaker 14: what we've been asking for, just a few more stops,
- 12:02Speaker 14: and they gave it to us.
- 12:03Speaker 3: That's right.
- 12:04Speaker 5: You're right about that, yep.
- 12:06Speaker 14: And I like the trade. I would like to see
- 12:10Speaker 14: maybe two more or one more or something like that.
- 12:12Speaker 3: But all right, all right, Josh, appreciate it.
- 12:15Speaker 8: You know, I.
- 12:17Speaker 4: I like it too, And and fifty percent of why
- 12:19Speaker 4: I like it is because it's a trade. It's something,
- 12:22Speaker 4: you know, they they did something. And the other half
- 12:27Speaker 4: is that it fits the criteria that i'm you know,
- 12:31Speaker 4: I'm kind of looking at as you know, you think,
- 12:34Speaker 4: do you think this fixes a need or at least
- 12:36Speaker 4: helps an He's not gonna fix it, but yeah, And
- 12:40Speaker 4: because they're the worst third down team, not only in
- 12:43Speaker 4: the NFL, but it looks like as it stands right now,
- 12:46Speaker 4: one of the worst in the history of the NFL
- 12:48Speaker 4: on third down. They cannot get off the field, and
- 12:50Speaker 4: they're getting the third downs, but they're not getting off
- 12:53Speaker 4: the field. They're not making tackles, they're not making the place.
- 12:55Speaker 4: And I've said this before, a guy like like a linebacker, safety,
- 13:00Speaker 4: defensive tackle, somebody that can just help you get off
- 13:03Speaker 4: the field. If you can help you get off the field,
- 13:06Speaker 4: that's gonna help your offense and offense though you're right, Josh,
- 13:08Speaker 4: the offense did not pull its weight. And you know,
- 13:12Speaker 4: as I wrote in my article last night of the analogy,
- 13:15Speaker 4: I mean, if if you've hurt your your right foot
- 13:18Speaker 4: the entire you know, forever, and you can just keep
- 13:22Speaker 4: leaning on your left foot and compensating there, well, at
- 13:24Speaker 4: some point that's gonna hurt too. And I think that's
- 13:27Speaker 4: kind of what happened. You just keep leaning on this
- 13:29Speaker 4: offense to make all these places and the guys score
- 13:31Speaker 4: every single time, and they rush and Russian you know
- 13:36Speaker 4: it's they didn't they didn't get the job done. You know,
- 13:39Speaker 4: but I do think that Schottenheimer. You know, I understand
- 13:44Speaker 4: being aggressive, but but a fourth and four, a fourth
- 13:47Speaker 4: and three, those are not sure things. Even down at
- 13:50Speaker 4: the seven or eight yard line. If it was a
- 13:51Speaker 4: sure thing, people would go for two every time. Why
- 13:54Speaker 4: don't they? They don't because it's not easy to score
- 13:57Speaker 4: down there. So if you didn't do what you to do,
- 14:00Speaker 4: I mean, the first drive of the game, it was
- 14:02Speaker 4: go look at it. It was Davonte for nine, Davonte
- 14:05Speaker 4: for eight, right at the middle, right out the middle,
- 14:07Speaker 4: then a pass and then pass sixteen.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Eleven nine eight.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Then they get down to the eight yard line and
- 14:11Speaker 4: then now they want to go wide with Davante and
- 14:15Speaker 4: he loses two yards and that sets everything back. You know,
- 14:18Speaker 4: keep doing what you're doing. Run the ball, run the ball,
- 14:20Speaker 4: and if it doesn't work, kick a field goal. Get points,
- 14:22Speaker 4: and you know, come back because that helps your defense.
- 14:25Speaker 4: I mean, putting a team down still helps your defense.
- 14:28Speaker 4: And because you're scoring points, and if you can go
- 14:30Speaker 4: do it again and get up ten, now you're really
- 14:32Speaker 4: helping your defense, so I thought they were way too
- 14:35Speaker 4: greedy there, all right, Next caller Zach in Germany?
- 14:41Speaker 3: Is that right? Hey, Zach?
- 14:42Speaker 9: How you doing good?
- 14:44Speaker 15: I'll try to be quick for you. The parables between
- 14:48Speaker 15: Dak Prescott and Tony Romo are more evident than ever.
- 14:52Speaker 15: I loved Romo and I hated to see the way
- 14:54Speaker 15: he went out for Dak. I just feel he's playing
- 14:58Speaker 15: so good outside of last night's game, but overall, and
- 15:01Speaker 15: we just cannot give him any help on the other side,
- 15:03Speaker 15: which is what you're just talking about, right foot, left
- 15:06Speaker 15: foot to Just looking at their careers is just interesting
- 15:09Speaker 15: to see the same trajectory. Interesting stats that I wanted
- 15:12Speaker 15: to share today. Cowboys are unpaced to be the first
- 15:15Speaker 15: team in history to average thirty points per game, but
- 15:18Speaker 15: also allow thirty points a game, which is never a
- 15:21Speaker 15: good thing. And the last question more statement than I
- 15:24Speaker 15: have before. Hang up, defensive help obviously to trade deadline.
- 15:27Speaker 15: That's what we need the most. Of the five positions,
- 15:30Speaker 15: defensive tackle, d N linebacker, corner, and safety. What would
- 15:35Speaker 15: you like to see them addressed? And then what order?
- 15:37Speaker 9: And I'll hang up and listen.
- 15:38Speaker 7: Thanks, all right.
- 15:41Speaker 4: Defensive end is where I would like for them to
- 15:44Speaker 4: address and you know they have some guys, but they
- 15:49Speaker 4: don't have a guy and you know that's the only
- 15:54Speaker 4: way I would, you know, I would trade a first
- 15:56Speaker 4: round pick if there is a guy that that that
- 16:01Speaker 4: you think can certainly come in and is worthy of it.
- 16:05Speaker 4: But defensive end would be the first, you know, I could,
- 16:10Speaker 4: you know, they could use help at corner safety. Safety
- 16:13Speaker 4: is I don't know the injury status of some of
- 16:17Speaker 4: these guys right now. I mean I would think Malie
- 16:20Speaker 4: Hooker and Donovan Wilson should be able to come back
- 16:22Speaker 4: here soon. You know, we'll see what happens with Trayvon Diggs.
- 16:26Speaker 4: I mean he's eligible to come back after things, after
- 16:30Speaker 4: or during the Thanksgiving Day game. He can come back
- 16:32Speaker 4: for that after the Eagles game. He could be eligible
- 16:34Speaker 4: to play in the Thanksgiving Day game if that happens.
- 16:37Speaker 4: But you know, it's it's a situation where you know
- 16:41Speaker 4: you're do you, like you said, thirty thirty points a
- 16:43Speaker 4: game on offense averaging and giving up thirty. I mean,
- 16:47Speaker 4: that's that's not the kind of thirty for thirty that
- 16:50Speaker 4: that I think that you want to you want to
- 16:53Speaker 4: be watching it. But that's what where we are all right?
- 16:56Speaker 4: Al in Annapolis, Maryland?
- 16:57Speaker 16: Al Hi, are you a good show? I need to
- 17:03Speaker 16: be quick. Chris wins really quick. So love Shody. Glad
- 17:07Speaker 16: we have him. I think he'll do good down the road.
- 17:10Speaker 16: But when we got down there on the first drive,
- 17:14Speaker 16: fourth and four, we got to kick the field gold.
- 17:17Speaker 16: If we're playing Kansas City then or Buffalo, then yes,
- 17:21Speaker 16: go for the seven. We got to take the three there.
- 17:24Speaker 16: We got to take the other three, and then I
- 17:26Speaker 16: think if we had to save that time out to
- 17:28Speaker 16: give Aubrey that the time to set up. He makes
- 17:32Speaker 16: the other kick that's nine points right there, puts us
- 17:35Speaker 16: within what two points, and then we drive down at
- 17:40Speaker 16: the end, get to the fifty, kick the winning field gold,
- 17:44Speaker 16: walk off, goodbye. I think that's really the strategy. When
- 17:48Speaker 16: we're playing not a powerhouse team, we need to take
- 17:51Speaker 16: the points. Playing a powerhouse team, we got to go
- 17:54Speaker 16: for seven. I get it, but I just think there
- 17:58Speaker 16: was some foolish I know we made a lot of mistakes,
- 18:02Speaker 16: but feel foolish mistakes fumbles all the other balloone either
- 18:07Speaker 16: went on. So that's my opinion. I've been a fans
- 18:11Speaker 16: in sixty six, watched a lot of Cowboys over the years.
- 18:14Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you haven't watched the defense like this really,
- 18:18Speaker 4: and and I get the frustration and you can hear it.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Thank you for the call.
- 18:24Speaker 4: I agree with the principle of what you're saying. I
- 18:28Speaker 4: would take it a little further. If it's fourth and
- 18:31Speaker 4: four and I'm going up against the AFC Pro Bowl team,
- 18:35Speaker 4: I'm kicking it. I mean, I mean, it doesn't really
- 18:38Speaker 4: matter to me if it's Arizona or Kansas City or whatever.
- 18:42Speaker 4: You take the smart points when you get a chance
- 18:45Speaker 4: to do that, and I would have done it then.
- 18:48Speaker 4: And I understand, you know, you think you're gonna be
- 18:50Speaker 4: in these shootouts, but you never know how these games
- 18:52Speaker 4: are going to go. You got to take what's what's automatic,
- 18:55Speaker 4: and no one's ever called a fourth and four automatic
- 18:58Speaker 4: like they say with with Aubrey, you talk about the
- 19:03Speaker 4: timeouts and saving the timeouts. I don't think the Cowboys
- 19:05Speaker 4: would have gotten the ball, I mean back in the
- 19:08Speaker 4: second in the second quarter, So I think I like
- 19:11Speaker 4: what they did there. The play that hurt him the most.
- 19:15Speaker 4: And it was not a great game for Jake Ferguson.
- 19:17Speaker 4: It's two in a row now for ferg that he
- 19:19Speaker 4: has not played that well. But at the end of
- 19:21Speaker 4: the half, when they throw the ball to him, when
- 19:25Speaker 4: they throw the ball to him and he has to
- 19:27Speaker 4: get out of bounds, got to go forward. You can't
- 19:30Speaker 4: go backwards. You got to go forward, and he certainly
- 19:34Speaker 4: didn't do that. And by going backwards, then the clock
- 19:36Speaker 4: kept going because I think if you can get out
- 19:38Speaker 4: of bounds at thirteen seconds or so, then you could
- 19:40Speaker 4: maybe do one more play and get a few more yards. Sure,
- 19:44Speaker 4: everyone wants to see the record, but there's a reason
- 19:48Speaker 4: why Steph Curry doesn't shoot from half court all the time.
- 19:51Speaker 4: I mean, can he make it, Yeah, he can make it,
- 19:54Speaker 4: but he's probably gonna miss. He's probably going to miss.
- 19:57Speaker 4: In the same Aubrey. Can you make it, Yeah, but
- 20:00Speaker 4: it's not ideal because there's so much that has to happen.
- 20:03Speaker 4: You have to hit it absolutely perfect because it's gonna
- 20:05Speaker 4: shift at some point, and so you know, I just
- 20:09Speaker 4: that was that was big though. I mean, they just
- 20:11Speaker 4: left too many points on the board and and that
- 20:15Speaker 4: was That's the difference of the game.
- 20:17Speaker 3: There's there's no doubt about it. But yeah, I get it.
- 20:19Speaker 4: Shot he's playing aggressive because he's like he's coaching aggressive
- 20:23Speaker 4: because he knows, Man, I can't sit there and and
- 20:26Speaker 4: and just kick field goals all day long. And you're right,
- 20:29Speaker 4: you don't want to kick him all day long. But
- 20:31Speaker 4: when it's a smart play, I think you gotta take
- 20:33Speaker 4: him and we gotta take a break.
- 20:34Speaker 3: We'll be right back after this.
- 20:38Speaker 17: All right, Cowboys fans, this one's for you. Jelet's Best

- 21:53Speaker 4: I'm Nick Eatman, and we're talking the Cowboys cardinal game
- 21:57Speaker 4: from last night. Also the trade that they made this
- 21:59Speaker 4: morning for Logan Wilson. We'll see if they make more
- 22:03Speaker 4: before the deadline today three o'clock Central time. Uh, what
- 22:08Speaker 4: is that about? Five almost five hours? So Jerry Jones
- 22:11Speaker 4: said this morning on one O five or three the
- 22:13Speaker 4: fan that they are working on some other things and
- 22:16Speaker 4: they didn't want to give anything away, but they are
- 22:19Speaker 4: definitely in the works of doing some others and you know,
- 22:22Speaker 4: and and we'll see how people people feel. I mean,
- 22:24Speaker 4: it's mixed, mixed opinion. Some people don't really want to
- 22:28Speaker 4: trade a lot more draft capital and say, well, you know,
- 22:32Speaker 4: the season's over. But but again, if you get the
- 22:35Speaker 4: right player, then you can treat it in a way
- 22:38Speaker 4: of free agency. You know you're you're you're beating the
- 22:42Speaker 4: other teams to free agency, uh and and acquiring that
- 22:46Speaker 4: contractor or whatever. It is just just adding some players
- 22:48Speaker 4: that you know you're gonna want to add anyways. So
- 22:52Speaker 4: that's what I think this this move is. We'll see
- 22:54Speaker 4: if some of the others are the same way. All right,
- 22:56Speaker 4: Mike and Birmingham, England. Mike, good, how are you?
- 23:01Speaker 19: I'm all right, thank you. You know, a bit tired.
- 23:04Speaker 19: I stayed up for nonsense last night, but but yeah,
- 23:07Speaker 19: I'm good. I'm a big fun of your posting videos
- 23:10Speaker 19: on Twitter. I'd just like to see a happy one
- 23:13Speaker 19: once in a while.
- 23:14Speaker 3: See if we do that. Yeah, I'm working on that.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Okay, I'm working on on the whole process. I know
- 23:21Speaker 4: it's not perfect.
- 23:22Speaker 3: I can't.
- 23:23Speaker 4: I gotta I got things to say, you know what
- 23:25Speaker 4: I mean. And I was told a minute and a half,
- 23:28Speaker 4: maybe two minutes, and I mean it's three minutes every time.
- 23:31Speaker 4: So I'm trying to figure out the best way I'll
- 23:34Speaker 4: get a mic. I'll figure all that out. We're just
- 23:36Speaker 4: kind of playing around with it. I realized this morning
- 23:39Speaker 4: I woke up and it didn't send, so I was like,
- 23:41Speaker 4: oh crap, So I just would ahead and went with it.
- 23:44Speaker 4: So anyways, thanks Mike.
- 23:46Speaker 19: What do you got So, I mean, well, that was
- 23:54Speaker 19: a blowout last night. Opinion forced down on the first, right,
- 24:00Speaker 19: There was never a point that I thought, hey, we're
- 24:03Speaker 19: going to win this, and you know, I think and
- 24:08Speaker 19: I won't repeat the words that he says, but he's
- 24:11Speaker 19: well to hear, just too easy and here he's league.
- 24:16Speaker 19: He was getting through. So I don't like staying this
- 24:19Speaker 19: halfway through the season.
- 24:23Speaker 9: Just see this.
- 24:25Speaker 19: Now I've got to win out of eight games with
- 24:27Speaker 19: our schedule and now we're playing but it is.
- 24:31Speaker 4: Not all right? All right, thanks Mike. Sorry, sounds like
- 24:36Speaker 4: you're like across the pond or something. That's that's what
- 24:39Speaker 4: it sounds like on the phone, and usually better reception
- 24:44Speaker 4: than that. Apologize for that. We we have open phone lines,
- 24:47Speaker 4: so it's not like we're going to another caller here
- 24:49Speaker 4: eight eight five five two two ninety seven. If you
- 24:51Speaker 4: want to talk the game, trade other trades, baseball, I mean,
- 24:56Speaker 4: whatever you want to talking about, maybe not baseball because
- 24:59Speaker 4: I don't I don't know a lot what's going on there.
- 25:02Speaker 4: All right, so let's but but as as far as
- 25:06Speaker 4: Mike was he was talking about I heard a little
- 25:08Speaker 4: bit about kind of what they have to do down
- 25:12Speaker 4: the stretch.
- 25:13Speaker 3: And you know, I don't even think the Cowboys are
- 25:16Speaker 3: thinking that way right now.
- 25:17Speaker 4: I really, I really don't. I mean, I think it's
- 25:19Speaker 4: more about, Hey, let's let's turn this thing around and
- 25:23Speaker 4: and and and win a game. You know, Let's let's
- 25:25Speaker 4: go win a game. Let's let's get the defense better,
- 25:27Speaker 4: Let's go to Vegas and win, and then and then
- 25:30Speaker 4: let's see what happens after that. You know, you can
- 25:32Speaker 4: play with Philly. You know, you gotta play, you gotta
- 25:34Speaker 4: play a good game. But but you could play with
- 25:36Speaker 4: them and then, you know, and get to Thanksgiving and
- 25:39Speaker 4: play the Chiefs, see what happens.
- 25:41Speaker 7: You know.
- 25:41Speaker 4: I mean they're not world beaters. I mean they're five
- 25:43Speaker 4: and four. I mean there, I get it. This team
- 25:46Speaker 4: makes quarterbacks. You know, average quarterbacks look great. I can't
- 25:51Speaker 4: imagine what they're gonna do to a great quarterback. Uh,
- 25:53Speaker 4: maybe it flips. Maybe this whole thing is gonna be
- 25:56Speaker 4: groundhog today.
- 25:56Speaker 3: Who knows? All right, Uh, let's go to our next caller.
- 26:00Speaker 3: We got big big mo.
- 26:03Speaker 20: Hey, Nick, how you doing today? Man?
- 26:06Speaker 16: Uh?
- 26:06Speaker 20: You know, tough lost yesterday, but you know, looking at
- 26:10Speaker 20: it with the glass have for you know, the defense,
- 26:13Speaker 20: it's some strange ways did look a little better. I think, uh,
- 26:18Speaker 20: I think the coordinator took some of our advice. They
- 26:20Speaker 20: played a couple of five man lines. They put more
- 26:23Speaker 20: pressure on the quarterback. I think the back end kind
- 26:27Speaker 20: of hurt us.
- 26:27Speaker 21: A little bit.
- 26:28Speaker 20: Some of the guys still look like they're in space.
- 26:31Speaker 20: But I really think Shoddy you know, you know, personally,
- 26:35Speaker 20: I think he panicked a little bit. You know, there's
- 26:38Speaker 20: a lot of pressure. I would recommend him just to
- 26:41Speaker 20: calm down and you know, play your offense. And I
- 26:45Speaker 20: think things can kind of start to come together if
- 26:48Speaker 20: we just look at it one game at a time,
- 26:50Speaker 20: and we may need to make one or two more trades.
- 26:55Speaker 20: Can't mention names, but Tennessee or New York has got
- 26:59Speaker 20: some great players that we could look at. And then
- 27:02Speaker 20: some help on the back end, maybe a veteran cover
- 27:06Speaker 20: safety that can help bring those young guys together.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, that would be nice. I think I know
- 27:14Speaker 4: some of the names that you're talking about, and you know,
- 27:17Speaker 4: I've heard a lot. I mean I've probably heard ten
- 27:19Speaker 4: to the twelve names over the last few weeks. Some
- 27:23Speaker 4: of them aren't really legit, some of them could be.
- 27:27Speaker 4: So it'll it'll we'll see what happens today. I mean,
- 27:29Speaker 4: it's gonna be it's probably gonna be a fun day.
- 27:33Speaker 4: I don't know, fun, it's gonna be interesting day about that. No,
- 27:36Speaker 4: it's not fun everyone. I mean, it's like you wake
- 27:39Speaker 4: up at seven o'clock in the morning, see how these
- 27:41Speaker 4: you know, text messages, and and you realize, you know,
- 27:45Speaker 4: you were in the press box at about twelve thirty
- 27:48Speaker 4: last night, you know, and so, and not not home
- 27:50Speaker 4: and sleep until almost two.
- 27:52Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a quick turn around. But we knew
- 27:54Speaker 3: we knew it would be, and I knew this show
- 27:56Speaker 3: would be that way as well.
- 27:58Speaker 4: All right, Jeremy and Salt Lakes is next?
- 28:05Speaker 3: What's up?
- 28:07Speaker 13: Hey?
- 28:08Speaker 5: What's up?
- 28:10Speaker 8: So?
- 28:12Speaker 9: Hello?
- 28:13Speaker 3: You want to do this? Let's go?
- 28:15Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 28:15Speaker 21: Sorry, man, just I'm to the point where this I'm
- 28:21Speaker 21: kind of wondering if any of this is gonna help
- 28:24Speaker 21: if we're going to trade. I mean, in this defense,
- 28:28Speaker 21: it just looks like no matter who we have, we've
- 28:31Speaker 21: made good payer players look awful. I don't know, I
- 28:35Speaker 21: just feel like, you know, Nick, if if you messed
- 28:39Speaker 21: up at your job constantly every week, right, and your
- 28:43Speaker 21: boss comes and says to you, okay, hey, don't swear
- 28:46Speaker 21: on the on the on the air, okay, And then
- 28:49Speaker 21: the next week you do the same thing, and then
- 28:51Speaker 21: the next week you do the same thing. It just
- 28:55Speaker 21: feels like we're not getting any better on defense, and
- 28:58Speaker 21: like you said earlier, it's affecting out of the way
- 29:00Speaker 21: that Shotty's plays. And I just don't see no matter
- 29:03Speaker 21: who we get in there. I mean, you can get
- 29:07Speaker 21: you know, the best players and make them look average
- 29:10Speaker 21: when you have a horrible defensive scheme, and we just
- 29:12Speaker 21: look like Ron Rollerskates all the time. And it's just frustrating.
- 29:15Speaker 21: And my WIT's end. I've had enough of beaver flu
- 29:17Speaker 21: this man, and I don't know, I'll hang up, but yeah,
- 29:22Speaker 21: I would like to.
- 29:23Speaker 3: I get it.
- 29:24Speaker 4: I mean I understand that. And I think you're actually
- 29:26Speaker 4: being too nice, if that's even a thing. I don't
- 29:29Speaker 4: think they had great players and they make them look awful.
- 29:31Speaker 4: I think they had uh good, two decent players and
- 29:36Speaker 4: and and they don't look good at all, you know,
- 29:39Speaker 4: so that that's the problem. I mean, what I'm saying
- 29:41Speaker 4: is is it's not like, you know, he's having these
- 29:45Speaker 4: these all Pro guys that are great. Now, you could
- 29:48Speaker 4: make the case for Drawn Bland, you know, Bland. Bland's
- 29:53Speaker 4: always been this. I mean, honestly, Bland has always played
- 29:57Speaker 4: like this. He gives up passes the year he set records.
- 30:02Speaker 4: Why did he set records? Why did he Why did
- 30:04Speaker 4: they keep throwing at him? Because I've seen Dion to
- 30:07Speaker 4: you know, have an All Pro year and he gets
- 30:09Speaker 4: like two interceptions. So when you have nine, ten eleven
- 30:13Speaker 4: picks in a year like Diggs had, like Everson Walls had,
- 30:18Speaker 4: it's because you can make plays, you also give up
- 30:21Speaker 4: some plays and they're not afraid of you, and that's
- 30:24Speaker 4: the risk the quarterback has to take. And I was
- 30:27Speaker 4: set next to Derek eagleson last night at the game.
- 30:29Speaker 4: Derek we saw of those those comeback routes that Harrison
- 30:33Speaker 4: kept catching, and he was like Diggs, I mean, I'm sorry,
- 30:36Speaker 4: Blam's probably gonna get one of these.
- 30:38Speaker 3: He didn't, But that's.
- 30:40Speaker 4: The way he plays and you could definitely see it,
- 30:42Speaker 4: you know, But so it is what it is. He
- 30:46Speaker 4: needs another good corner on the other side. He needs
- 30:49Speaker 4: pass rush up like any good cornerback can can have.
- 30:52Speaker 4: So you know, obviously wasn't wasn't his best game to
- 30:55Speaker 4: go back to the Eberflus thing. And I mean, I
- 30:57Speaker 4: get the point you're making at this point the season
- 31:00Speaker 4: that there's got to be some kind of changes made.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Let's see what happens. Let's see if there is one,
- 31:04Speaker 4: because I I'm with you. He just you know, it
- 31:07Speaker 4: feels like enough's enough and something absolutely is gonna change.
- 31:11Speaker 4: I don't think you just trade a seventh round pick
- 31:14Speaker 4: for a veteran linebacker and say, well, that's it. We
- 31:16Speaker 4: don't need to make any moves. Are anything else? They
- 31:19Speaker 4: need to make a lot of moves here, all right?
- 31:22Speaker 4: We are rolling along here. I don't have open lines
- 31:26Speaker 4: for you, though. Cowboys storyline is open eight eight eight
- 31:30Speaker 4: eight five five two to ninety seven.
- 31:32Speaker 3: I believe Jr. And Avondale Jr and Avondale is next.
- 31:36Speaker 8: Good morning, Nick?
- 31:38Speaker 3: Good? How are you?
- 31:39Speaker 21: Oh?
- 31:39Speaker 5: Not? Good?
- 31:40Speaker 8: Them out here in Arizona. But anyway, I'll be quick.
- 31:43Speaker 8: Everyone's kind of talks about all this stuff. I was
- 31:45Speaker 8: going to talk about Marvin Harrison. You know, I spoke
- 31:49Speaker 8: like last week about how hard they were going to
- 31:52Speaker 8: try to get him going because teams frustrate him, they jamming,
- 31:55Speaker 8: they don't get him a free release, and he gets
- 31:57Speaker 8: his head out of the game and he's out having
- 31:59Speaker 8: a good year. And we just let him free release
- 32:03Speaker 8: off the line of scrimmage. And and I don't understand that,
- 32:07Speaker 8: or McBride as well, why we're not hitting him at
- 32:10Speaker 8: the line of scrimmage. And lastly, a question about Cooper Bebe.
- 32:15Speaker 8: I love the guy and I think he's he's a
- 32:18Speaker 8: good center. But why not play Hoffin in this game?
- 32:20Speaker 8: He Sebe hasn't played for you know, six weeks, and
- 32:26Speaker 8: Hafflin's been in there. I want to let Hoppin go
- 32:28Speaker 8: one more week and try to keep some continuity in line.
- 32:32Speaker 4: I think, all right, all right, Jay, I appreciate that.
- 32:34Speaker 4: I think he did go one more week. I mean, like,
- 32:37Speaker 4: you know, to answer your your own question there, I mean,
- 32:41Speaker 4: it sounds like he could have gone last week against
- 32:43Speaker 4: Denver that I wanted to see, you know, maybe give
- 32:45Speaker 4: give hoff In another try. And you know, it didn't.
- 32:48Speaker 4: It didn't really go that well. You know, I had
- 32:51Speaker 4: the same question. I kind of wonder that and that
- 32:54Speaker 4: that's the scary part is every game this year since
- 32:57Speaker 4: Week two in the offensive line issue. You're like, well, yeah,
- 33:02Speaker 4: it doesn't look great, but they are down three starters,
- 33:05Speaker 4: or there are down two starters, or last week they're
- 33:07Speaker 4: down still one starter. Well they were down no starters. Now,
- 33:11Speaker 4: so that was their offensive line, the line that they
- 33:13Speaker 4: went into training camp and said, this is who it is.
- 33:17Speaker 4: We're gonna have Terrence Steele and guiding as our tackles.
- 33:20Speaker 4: BB's gonna be the center, Tyler Smith's gonna play left guard,
- 33:23Speaker 4: Tyler Brooker is gonna play right guard. That's the offensive line.
- 33:27Speaker 4: And then Monday night football, they're gonna all be healthy.
- 33:29Speaker 4: They're gonna go play a two and five Arizona, the
- 33:33Speaker 4: Cardinal team, and they did not look good. The offensive
- 33:36Speaker 4: line was really really bad at times, to the point
- 33:39Speaker 4: where they did bench steel. Now, remember Terrence Steele was
- 33:45Speaker 4: added to the injury report early in the day with migrains.
- 33:50Speaker 4: Cause I'll be honest with you, I told this to
- 33:53Speaker 4: Chris on the field last night. I've covered this team
- 33:56Speaker 4: now for twenty seven years, and I think only twice
- 34:00Speaker 4: have I written down migraines for for you know, an injury,
- 34:04Speaker 4: and it's happened here in the last few weeks with
- 34:06Speaker 4: Janya and Thomas and then Terren Steele. You know, I
- 34:10Speaker 4: don't know what's happening. I mean maybe maybe it's it's
- 34:13Speaker 4: always been a case, but not something that I remember,
- 34:16Speaker 4: so uh, and that's not anything I can really relate to.
- 34:21Speaker 5: Now.
- 34:21Speaker 4: Steele did play, he didn't play his best. They took
- 34:24Speaker 4: him out, put in Nate Thomas. It was was okay,
- 34:27Speaker 4: but it wasn't. You know, I'm still issues. And then
- 34:29Speaker 4: the left tackle and guiding struggling on the other side too,
- 34:32Speaker 4: So uh, that kind of is what it is, all right,
- 34:35Speaker 4: Kevin in New Jersey.
- 34:37Speaker 3: It's next?
- 34:37Speaker 20: Hey, Nick?
- 34:38Speaker 22: How you doing?
- 34:39Speaker 16: Nick?
- 34:39Speaker 3: Good? How you doing? Man?
- 34:41Speaker 22: I'm doing okay. I have to admit, you know, I'm
- 34:45Speaker 22: not really the most optimistic fan, but you know, now
- 34:48Speaker 22: I've gotten older and I'm trying to look for silver linings,
- 34:52Speaker 22: I suppose. But curious about your opinion on something as
- 34:56Speaker 22: far as the new pickup is concerning now, I admit
- 34:59Speaker 22: I'm not can to logan Wilson as like a savior
- 35:03Speaker 22: for the season, but I am thinking, you know, maybe
- 35:06Speaker 22: it takes some of the pressure off of overshown when
- 35:09Speaker 22: he comes back, because I think the fear is like
- 35:12Speaker 22: we've got a real potential superstar and overshown. But if
- 35:16Speaker 22: he comes back and he had to do too much,
- 35:17Speaker 22: you know, it's not going to hurt his development. So
- 35:20Speaker 22: maybe Logan Wilson comes in, and I'd like to hear
- 35:23Speaker 22: your opinion on the type of backer that Wilson is.
- 35:27Speaker 22: Can he maybe assume some of those green dot responsibilities,
- 35:31Speaker 22: take some pressure off of Oversham let him just sort
- 35:34Speaker 22: of do his thing. I'm just curious about your opinion
- 35:36Speaker 22: on that. I mean, like I said, I don't think
- 35:38Speaker 22: they're going to the playoffs this year, but I.
- 35:40Speaker 9: Don't care that much.
- 35:41Speaker 22: I'm kind of looking to what they can do with
- 35:44Speaker 22: the team and the defense as a whole down the road,
- 35:46Speaker 22: maybe next season in the future, especially with those draft picks.
- 35:49Speaker 22: So curious about your thoughts on that. Thanks, Nic, I'll
- 35:52Speaker 22: hang up with all right, Kevin.
- 35:53Speaker 4: I really like that call. I think that that's a
- 35:57Speaker 4: very it's just realistic. I was I was gonna say optimistic.
- 36:02Speaker 3: It's not.
- 36:03Speaker 4: It's a realistic. It's a realistic approach to the season,
- 36:07Speaker 4: not really looking to go to the playoffs. But you
- 36:11Speaker 4: never know, they still got the logo up there on
- 36:14Speaker 4: in the hunt. Now it's far off to the right.
- 36:17Speaker 4: You know, they're out, you know, with a lot of
- 36:19Speaker 4: other teams. But when you're in until you're out of it,
- 36:23Speaker 4: you know, you keep fighting, you keep scrapping and and
- 36:26Speaker 4: you know, and that's the way I am. And I
- 36:30Speaker 4: know I'll be on here arguing with people about again,
- 36:34Speaker 4: it's their opinion, so it's my opinion too. We can
- 36:36Speaker 4: say what we want. But I just think you go
- 36:38Speaker 4: play the game, you know, I mean, and and I'm
- 36:41Speaker 4: not looking at draft picks, seating and all that and
- 36:45Speaker 4: tanking and you I mean it just you should go play.
- 36:48Speaker 4: And we're not at that point yet. I like that
- 36:51Speaker 4: they they've made a move. And and again I like
- 36:53Speaker 4: that they they've made a move that that could you know,
- 36:56Speaker 4: could affect this team next year and and and beyond
- 37:00Speaker 4: that as well. But but what you said about Overshown
- 37:05Speaker 4: and not maybe having him come in and try to
- 37:07Speaker 4: be a savior, I think that that's that's really important,
- 37:10Speaker 4: because you know, I think Logan Wilson can help and
- 37:14Speaker 4: he's gonna he's gonna help you, you know, at that position,
- 37:16Speaker 4: and then Overshown can kind of can you know, come
- 37:19Speaker 4: in and do his thing at his pace, and so
- 37:23Speaker 4: you know that he should be ready to play for
- 37:26Speaker 4: the Raiders game. The window has beIN open, so it's
- 37:30Speaker 4: I mean, they're gonna have to make a decision. I
- 37:31Speaker 4: would imagine that he is. He's on the roster and
- 37:34Speaker 4: and probably playing against the Raiders, and and you know,
- 37:37Speaker 4: for a couple of weeks, you know, Logan Wilson should
- 37:40Speaker 4: be here and ready to go. He should be rested,
- 37:42Speaker 4: and you know, just like Overshown should be.
- 37:44Speaker 3: Ready, ready to go.
- 37:45Speaker 4: And so that those could be two of your your
- 37:47Speaker 4: most prominent linebackers going into that game. All right, Rick
- 37:52Speaker 4: and Saint Charles Missouri. Rick, how are you good?
- 37:59Speaker 8: Uh?
- 38:00Speaker 7: With a lot of what you just your response there
- 38:02Speaker 7: about playing the games and seeing the schedule through. I
- 38:06Speaker 7: mean there's still eight games to play a lot of games.
- 38:09Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 38:10Speaker 7: And again I called in uh before the game last
- 38:14Speaker 7: week and said, basically, need to play the games and
- 38:20Speaker 7: see what happens and count them up. At the end,
- 38:22Speaker 7: I was afraid of the Cardinals, and sure enough something
- 38:25Speaker 7: bad happened.
- 38:27Speaker 9: Uh.
- 38:27Speaker 7: One just a comment or maybe you can help me
- 38:30Speaker 7: understand it. Maybe it's the people, the players evolved or whatever.
- 38:34Speaker 7: But it seems like we're seeing free releases or if
- 38:39Speaker 7: not free releases, we can't see the whole coverage scheme
- 38:43Speaker 7: on TV, but free releases or people just running wide
- 38:48Speaker 7: open on a regular basis, how is that happening? You know?
- 38:52Speaker 7: I could see, you know, when you get beat occasionally,
- 38:55Speaker 7: but this happens too regularly. Defense played slightly better last night,
- 39:00Speaker 7: but overall there were still big plays happening pretty regularly.
- 39:05Speaker 7: So anyway, that's my comment. I'll let you respond. Thank you.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just you're not wrong. I mean, it looks like.
- 39:18Speaker 4: It looks like they don't practice. That's really I mean,
- 39:21Speaker 4: I don't know any other way to say it. They
- 39:23Speaker 4: you know, and I'm trying to be nice about it,
- 39:27Speaker 4: but it just looks like the corners and safeties just
- 39:33Speaker 4: decide to play different schemes. I mean, that's just how
- 39:37Speaker 4: bad it looks, and and you can only go off
- 39:40Speaker 4: of that. And that's the thing that that's always tough
- 39:42Speaker 4: when oh, this guy's not playing well or this corner.
- 39:44Speaker 4: That's why I never really look at PFF grades and
- 39:48Speaker 4: stuff like that, because they don't know what the coverage
- 39:52Speaker 4: is and they don't know what the responsibility is. So
- 39:58Speaker 4: you can make grades pretty much when with linemen, you know,
- 40:03Speaker 4: left tackle, right tack, whether they blocked their guy or
- 40:05Speaker 4: the receiver makes the catch, and how much distance he
- 40:09Speaker 4: has with separation and all that kind of stuff. But
- 40:12Speaker 4: corners and safeties, when they're kind of mixing in and
- 40:15Speaker 4: out of his zone and coverages, it's tough. It's always
- 40:18Speaker 4: tough to pinpoints. I always got to be careful in
- 40:20Speaker 4: how we say that. All I'm saying is is that
- 40:23Speaker 4: you're right. It doesn't look like they practice a lot
- 40:26Speaker 4: because it happens every single week.
- 40:30Speaker 3: I went and looked at.
- 40:32Speaker 4: Quarterback ratings quarterback ratings for the opponents they've played nine games.
- 40:38Speaker 4: Six of the nine quarterbacks they've faced have had their
- 40:42Speaker 4: best game of the season in quarterback rating against the Cowboys.
- 40:47Speaker 4: The other three have all been over ninety two. I mean,
- 40:52Speaker 4: so that's still pretty good. Two of them have been
- 40:54Speaker 4: over one hundred, just not their best game. Jalen Hurts
- 40:57Speaker 4: was like ninety six or so, and he's had a
- 40:59Speaker 4: couple of one. He's had a one to fifty eight.
- 41:01Speaker 4: He's had a perfect rating. So but but they've all
- 41:03Speaker 4: been pretty good. But six of the nine have had
- 41:05Speaker 4: their best game, including Jacobe Brissett and Russell Wilson and
- 41:12Speaker 4: Bryce Young and Bo Nix and uh, you know the
- 41:15Speaker 4: list goes goes on and on. So all right, I think, Chris,
- 41:20Speaker 4: are we are we done with calls?
- 41:21Speaker 3: We have any more? And we got Tom and Mississippi Thomas.
- 41:24Speaker 4: I be sorry, having some difficulties today. Tom in Mississippi.
- 41:28Speaker 10: Hey, Chris, how you doing, man?
- 41:32Speaker 23: I'm doing good? And you pretty much hit it on
- 41:35Speaker 23: that last call. The defense just they can't play zone
- 41:40Speaker 23: that last play. The Harrison almost sums it up when
- 41:45Speaker 23: twenty one I believe it was he runs by twenty
- 41:48Speaker 23: one twenty one hits he lets him.
- 41:49Speaker 9: Go in the hole.
- 41:51Speaker 23: If the ball wasn't thrown short, it's been another catch. Yeah,
- 41:56Speaker 23: you have to you have to carry your man. I mean,
- 41:58Speaker 23: it's Harrison. You couldn't just people let him run in
- 42:01Speaker 23: the middle.
- 42:02Speaker 3: Yeah, that's coach.
- 42:04Speaker 23: That's coaching coach players. It's both.
- 42:09Speaker 3: Well, it's both.
- 42:10Speaker 4: I mean I I I'm with you, I'm Tom, I
- 42:13Speaker 4: I I'm with you there, and you know it is both.
- 42:18Speaker 4: It's it, but but it starts with coaching. But you know,
- 42:22Speaker 4: these players, they they don't make the best decisions, uh,
- 42:28Speaker 4: out there on the on on the field either and
- 42:31Speaker 4: it just you want you know, you talk about football
- 42:34Speaker 4: i Q and there's plays that that that are that
- 42:38Speaker 4: you're making and you're like, man, that that why would
- 42:43Speaker 4: you run there? You know, why would you run there?
- 42:44Speaker 4: And and and open this up. You've got the sidelines
- 42:47Speaker 4: to your friend. I'm just thinking of one play an example.
- 42:49Speaker 4: You have the sideline is there that sidelines your friend,
- 42:52Speaker 4: so you know, use use that to your advantage. And
- 42:56Speaker 4: then there's times when you're like, you've got ten guys
- 42:59Speaker 4: over here, so why don't you go shade this way?
- 43:03Speaker 4: Cut him back here. You're gonna should have ten guys
- 43:06Speaker 4: at least coming coming here to you know, a couple
- 43:08Speaker 4: of these guys.
- 43:09Speaker 3: To make a play.
- 43:10Speaker 4: And it's just the football IQ is not there. So
- 43:13Speaker 4: I put it on the coaches as well. Man help
- 43:17Speaker 4: out a little bit. I mean, act like you've played football,
- 43:20Speaker 4: Act like you've played in high school and college and
- 43:22Speaker 4: now you're in the NFL, and act like it's your job.
- 43:24Speaker 4: There's there's so it's both. I am not putting this
- 43:27Speaker 4: just on the players. I'm just saying this is a
- 43:30Speaker 4: bad mix right now, and that's what we're seeing. We
- 43:33Speaker 4: got to go when we're caller Chris and Saratoga Springs
- 43:35Speaker 4: is calling back Chris.
- 43:36Speaker 3: What's up, hey, buddy? Hell? Are you good? You got no?
- 43:41Speaker 9: After not too much after watching that game last night,
- 43:44Speaker 9: I called during the draft and when we drafted Booker,
- 43:48Speaker 9: I didn't necessarily agree with that pick. I told you
- 43:50Speaker 9: then that I didn't think we had a guard problem.
- 43:52Speaker 9: I think we had a tackle problem. I thought Hoffman.
- 43:55Speaker 9: I've been you know, I've been a big fan of Hoffman,
- 43:57Speaker 9: and he's stepped in and done an unbelievable job for
- 44:00Speaker 9: So I didn't think we had a guard problem. I
- 44:01Speaker 9: thought we had a tackle and I would either went
- 44:04Speaker 9: with Tyler Warren, which we talked about if he was
- 44:07Speaker 9: a game changing type tight end, or I would have
- 44:09Speaker 9: went with Nolan, the defensive tackle we saw last night
- 44:12Speaker 9: who wrecked havoc against our offensive lineman. What is your
- 44:16Speaker 9: Do you still agree with that Pickett with Tyler Booker
- 44:19Speaker 9: over somebody like Nolan or Warren on that What is
- 44:23Speaker 9: your thought process?
- 44:24Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 44:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I can't remember. I know they signed
- 44:29Speaker 4: Ferguson right, and they signed Ferguson before that trade or
- 44:34Speaker 4: that draft, So yeah, I would have I mean Tyler
- 44:37Speaker 4: Warren was a fun player to watch, There's no doubt
- 44:40Speaker 4: about it. I don't really know what he's doing. Walter Nolan,
- 44:45Speaker 4: I'm telling you that was that was a guy that
- 44:47Speaker 4: the Cowboys really like too, and he was he was right.
- 44:51Speaker 3: In the mix.
- 44:51Speaker 4: I think those were the two players, Walter Nolan and
- 44:55Speaker 4: and Booker. They probably went at it a lot last night.
- 44:58Speaker 4: I understand the you know, with losing Zach Martin and uh,
- 45:03Speaker 4: you know, saying all right, let's you know this guy.
- 45:07Speaker 4: We could plug him in and he's gonna be a
- 45:09Speaker 4: great player for us. And I think he will be,
- 45:12Speaker 4: I really do. I think he's got the mindset. I
- 45:14Speaker 4: think both those tylers, I think you're gonna have two
- 45:16Speaker 4: of the best guards you know, in all of football.
- 45:20Speaker 3: You know, by a.
- 45:22Speaker 4: Year or two, you know you've got one of them
- 45:24Speaker 4: right now already. So I have no problems with with
- 45:26Speaker 4: the pick there. I just think it was one of
- 45:28Speaker 4: those that's a pick for the future as well. All right,
- 45:31Speaker 4: let's go to break one more time on Cowboys story
- 45:34Speaker 4: on be right back after this.

- 46:39Speaker 1: The Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave of
- 46:44Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys.
- 46:49Speaker 4: All right back here on Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette.
- 46:52Speaker 4: Let's wrap up the show talking backwards here with the
- 46:56Speaker 4: Cardinals Cowboy game. You know, it's this that's just like
- 47:00Speaker 4: you can go all the way back to the forties, fifties, sixties.
- 47:03Speaker 4: It's there's really no different. You look at the yards
- 47:06Speaker 4: about the same. Cardinals had seven more yards, they had,
- 47:08Speaker 4: you know, had one more first down. Cowboys had a
- 47:10Speaker 4: little more rushing yards. They had a little bit more
- 47:12Speaker 4: passing yards. So what's the difference. How about three turnovers
- 47:15Speaker 4: to zero? I mean, that's that's just the nature of football,
- 47:18Speaker 4: and it doesn't really matter if it's the NFL Monday
- 47:21Speaker 4: Night Sunday game, preseason game, junior high on a Wednesday.
- 47:26Speaker 3: It it's a.
- 47:28Speaker 4: You turn the football over, You're not gonna win games
- 47:31Speaker 4: three to nothing.
- 47:32Speaker 3: You're not. You're not gonna win any games doing that.
- 47:34Speaker 3: And we all know that. Everyone knows that. So that's
- 47:36Speaker 3: the key.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Penalties haven't been great for this team either, and you
- 47:40Speaker 4: know that was something that happened. So all right, Cowboys
- 47:42Speaker 4: may make the trade, they add a linebacker and see
- 47:45Speaker 4: if they add more to that moving forward. Bye week
- 47:49Speaker 4: this week, come back for another Monday night game. So
- 47:52Speaker 4: that's back to back Monday night games. Sandwiched around a
- 47:56Speaker 4: bye and then after the Raiders on in November seventeenth.
- 48:01Speaker 4: Is Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, Chargers in a row, four
- 48:05Speaker 4: of them at home, but still five. That's a gauntlet
- 48:08Speaker 4: of games, all right. We will talk about it next week,
- 48:12Speaker 4: and we'll talk about it tomorrow on the show. Also
- 48:15Speaker 4: next week on the TV show as well on Cowboys Storyline.
- 48:18Speaker 3: I'm Nick Eatman for Chris Beam. See you next week.
