- 0:13Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official Shave
- 0:19Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
- 0:26Speaker 4: What's up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It's Wednesday, November the
- 0:30Speaker 4: twelfth Cowboy Storyline presented by Gillette. I forgot about the
- 0:34Speaker 4: official shave of the Dallas Cowboys. All right, Nick Eatman, here,
- 0:38Speaker 4: let's talk to some Cowboys football. I know it's been
- 0:42Speaker 4: a different last week and a half or so, obviously
- 0:47Speaker 4: with the tragic death of Marshawn Neeland. And I know
- 0:50Speaker 4: you guys there's people that haven't called that we'll still
- 0:55Speaker 4: want to talk about that. We're going to kind of
- 0:56Speaker 4: move forward into football talk, but we'll talk about whatever
- 1:01Speaker 4: you guys want and what's on your heart and on
- 1:04Speaker 4: your mind. All right, let's go. Uh Steve in Newport, Washington.
- 1:09Speaker 5: Stevet morning, How are you good?
- 1:13Speaker 6: Hope you everybody's doing good.
- 1:15Speaker 7: Hey.
- 1:16Speaker 6: I got a little question in regards to the you know,
- 1:21Speaker 6: the free agent moves we just made, of the trades
- 1:24Speaker 6: we just moved made in regards to how many defensive tackles.
- 1:29Speaker 6: Can we line up but one time, you know, on
- 1:31Speaker 6: the field, looks like we just did some trades to
- 1:35Speaker 6: maybe do more effort in regards to stopping the run.
- 1:41Speaker 6: But still still wondering who's going to be rushing the passer,
- 1:45Speaker 6: which kind of leads me to my next question on
- 1:48Speaker 6: Overshown coming back. Would it be wiser maybe to use
- 1:53Speaker 6: them as a defensive end to start off with rather
- 1:56Speaker 6: than a linebacker Overshown?
- 2:00Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, I've heard that. I think my
- 2:04Speaker 4: dad actually says the same thing. My dad, he told
- 2:07Speaker 4: me that he called me to ask me the same thing.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Could Overshown be a pass rusher? We'll talk about that,
- 2:13Speaker 4: all right, Steve, you got anything else? All right? Good
- 2:17Speaker 4: to hear from you. You two have a great day
- 2:21Speaker 4: early over there in Newport, Washington. Appreciate you waking up
- 2:24Speaker 4: and starting off the show with us. The thing about
- 2:28Speaker 4: Overshown is, you know, we there's a lot of layers
- 2:32Speaker 4: to this. Number one. He's coming off of an injury,
- 2:36Speaker 4: so let's see how much he's going to do. You know,
- 2:39Speaker 4: I don't even he might even be on a pitch count. Really,
- 2:42Speaker 4: we've seen the Cowboys do that, so that could be
- 2:45Speaker 4: the case. So putting you know, one one spot on him,
- 2:49Speaker 4: one one job, you know, we'll see. I mean, he
- 2:52Speaker 4: might have a couple of different things that he does.
- 2:56Speaker 4: I would doubt he's green dot guy and all that
- 2:58Speaker 4: because I'm on my he's gonna play a ton just
- 3:02Speaker 4: to kind of ease him back into it. And also
- 3:05Speaker 4: he's different in you know this, this scheme. He's a
- 3:09Speaker 4: unique dynamic player. So what are the you know, what
- 3:13Speaker 4: kind of vision does Matt Eversflus have for him is
- 3:18Speaker 4: a big question. We haven't seen him, hasn't been able
- 3:20Speaker 4: to practice that much and certainly not in the offseason.
- 3:23Speaker 4: So I like him on the outside. I like him
- 3:27Speaker 4: rushing the passer at times. We've seen some great plays
- 3:30Speaker 4: when that happens. That that tipped interception last year against
- 3:33Speaker 4: the Giants was a phenomenal play, and it was rushing
- 3:36Speaker 4: the passer. He's got long arms. But I don't think
- 3:39Speaker 4: he's every down pass rusher. I think he's just one
- 3:43Speaker 4: of those dynamic players that you have to use in
- 3:45Speaker 4: different in different places. Sometimes it'll be here, sometimes here.
- 3:48Speaker 4: But I think he's the type of guy that when
- 3:51Speaker 4: he's really playing well, that he is a player that
- 3:54Speaker 4: you have to kind of seek out and go where
- 3:56Speaker 4: it where is he because he can do some different things.
- 3:58Speaker 4: So I hope they have once he's fully healthy and
- 4:02Speaker 4: ready to play. I hope they have some different packages
- 4:05Speaker 4: where he can kind of move around. I think that'd
- 4:07Speaker 4: be good. All right, let's go Anthony in Miami.
- 4:12Speaker 7: Nick the quick. What's up, my guy?
- 4:14Speaker 4: What's up? Man? Good to hear from you.
- 4:16Speaker 7: I know, man, what's up? Life been life and man
- 4:19Speaker 7: just took some time off, did you know. Of course
- 4:22Speaker 7: I listened to all the shows. Shout out to my
- 4:25Speaker 7: boy Zach, my favorite caller in Atlanta. I heard you
- 4:28Speaker 7: do a funny man with the Halloween bit. Shout out
- 4:31Speaker 7: to your dad. I heard some things on your dad,
- 4:34Speaker 7: and I hope he's feeling better. And of course, rest
- 4:37Speaker 7: in peace to the young King Mashawn Kneeling. Of course,
- 4:41Speaker 7: you know he was my pet cat, one of them. Yeah,
- 4:44Speaker 7: and I had a lot of high hopes for him, man.
- 4:47Speaker 7: I mean, he just showed out the night, you know,
- 4:49Speaker 7: a couple of nights before. So rest in peace to
- 4:52Speaker 7: him and condoulcens to his family and his girlfriend.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Sure on the.
- 4:57Speaker 7: Cowboys in the situation you love well, Corn and wings.
- 5:02Speaker 7: Come on, who don't love that. I don't know much
- 5:05Speaker 7: about Wilson, but from the what I've seen on his clips,
- 5:09Speaker 7: the guy is a is a mini beast out there.
- 5:12Speaker 7: So I know that's not enough. That's not enough to
- 5:16Speaker 7: move forward. You have no secondary as of now. Guys
- 5:20Speaker 7: reinjured and stuff like that. So I'm hoping that you
- 5:25Speaker 7: stop rock balls and gent and you don't let MaTx
- 5:30Speaker 7: Crossey stop you. I'll give you my score now because
- 5:32Speaker 7: I don't think i'll get back in before the week.
- 5:34Speaker 7: The Cowboys should beat the Raiders. My two favorite Cowboy
- 5:37Speaker 7: players of all time numbers thirty three. Tony Door said
- 5:41Speaker 7: twenty two, So thirty three twenty two Cowboys win. All right,
- 5:45Speaker 7: so we'll we'll pick this up next week.
- 5:47Speaker 4: Nikka, all right, I'm back, all right, I'm back. I
- 5:50Speaker 4: like it. I like life and life. And he said, yeah,
- 5:55Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of good stuff there. You know,
- 5:59Speaker 4: we'll see. But what Logan Wilson does is for the
- 6:04Speaker 4: you know, linebacker rooming. You know you got you gotta
- 6:06Speaker 4: remember these these guys, you know, their their team decided
- 6:10Speaker 4: it's time to move on. So it you know, it's
- 6:12Speaker 4: not necessarily I mean especially with with Logan Wilson. He
- 6:16Speaker 4: wasn't playing a whole lot. Now Quinn Williams is. You know,
- 6:19Speaker 4: he's a stud player. But you know, let's forget the
- 6:22Speaker 4: Cowboys had their best rushing day against the Jets and
- 6:25Speaker 4: he was right there in the center of it. So
- 6:27Speaker 4: and he needs, you know, he needs a new start.
- 6:29Speaker 4: He needs he needs uh, some really good players around him,
- 6:32Speaker 4: I think, just like all players do. And he should
- 6:35Speaker 4: have that with Kenny Clark and oh sudden, these guys
- 6:38Speaker 4: in the center. So you know, ebra Flus is gonna
- 6:41Speaker 4: have some some options here to to kind of mix
- 6:43Speaker 4: things around a little bit. Still don't have that dynamic
- 6:47Speaker 4: pass rusher that you would hope for. But you know,
- 6:50Speaker 4: I think you're starting this thing from the inside out.
- 6:52Speaker 4: So we'll see how it goes. All right, let's go
- 6:55Speaker 4: uh Casey Joe in Kansas City.
- 6:59Speaker 8: More in Nick.
- 7:00Speaker 5: Are you doing to I'm pretty good, sir, I'm pretty good.
- 7:04Speaker 9: Hey.
- 7:04Speaker 5: I just want to thank you for taking care of
- 7:07Speaker 5: me through the night time when I drive. I drive
- 7:09Speaker 5: at night, okay, and so I listen to your shows
- 7:12Speaker 5: and you keep me awake. You don't know that, but that's.
- 7:14Speaker 7: What you do.
- 7:17Speaker 4: That's that's a little surprising, you know. I mean I've
- 7:20Speaker 4: been I've been told otherwise I can put people to sleep.
- 7:23Speaker 4: But no, that's cool.
- 7:25Speaker 5: No, I actually have to listen to Mickey first because
- 7:27Speaker 5: I have a pattern that I have to do because
- 7:29Speaker 5: if I listen to him and the later.
- 7:31Speaker 9: On in the evening, I get tired.
- 7:32Speaker 5: So I have to listen to him first.
- 7:34Speaker 4: Okay.
- 7:36Speaker 5: Anyway, Anyway, the the new players we have look pretty good.
- 7:42Speaker 5: I mean I'm pretty excited about him coming in that
- 7:45Speaker 5: the defense is going to be a whole lot better
- 7:48Speaker 5: and with that being better, our offense to start clicking again.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I mean they usually go hand in hand.
- 7:55Speaker 5: Yep, they do.
- 7:56Speaker 10: They do well.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Anyway, I think they should not get give up on
- 8:00Speaker 5: the run as much they I know, we've gotten behind
- 8:03Speaker 5: so they've kind of had to give up. That run
- 8:05Speaker 5: game really has been working. It's just you know, they've
- 8:08Speaker 5: had to cut bait and go to the pass, and
- 8:11Speaker 5: I hope they kind of start doing a better mix
- 8:15Speaker 5: of it.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:17Speaker 5: Well, I don't have much today. I just want to
- 8:18Speaker 5: say thank you for keeping me awake in the evening.
- 8:20Speaker 5: How about that?
- 8:21Speaker 11: All right?
- 8:22Speaker 4: Sounds good. I'm glad I'm glad I could I could
- 8:24Speaker 4: provide that service for you. Uh, you know, like we
- 8:29Speaker 4: talked about with you know, different shows and and that
- 8:32Speaker 4: we have you know, we we have a we have
- 8:34Speaker 4: a lineup that you know, we go all day long
- 8:37Speaker 4: and uh and Chris, Chris Beam will be the one
- 8:39Speaker 4: to tell you about it because he's there pushing the
- 8:42Speaker 4: buttons for all of the shows. You don't get we
- 8:45Speaker 4: don't get to have lunch with Chris Beam any anymore
- 8:47Speaker 4: in the in the regular season. He doesn't. He comes
- 8:50Speaker 4: flying in there, grab something maybe really quick, and leaves
- 8:52Speaker 4: because he's got all these shows to do. But but
- 8:55Speaker 4: the point, though I'm trying to make is that there's
- 8:57Speaker 4: so many options, so many different personality and you know,
- 9:00Speaker 4: different types of shows for for everybody really, which is
- 9:04Speaker 4: kind of unique when you think of the fact that
- 9:06Speaker 4: we're all talking about the same football team, you know,
- 9:08Speaker 4: in just different ways to do it.
- 9:10Speaker 12: All.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Right, j are in Avondale, Arizona. What's up?
- 9:15Speaker 11: How you doing?
- 9:16Speaker 4: I'm good, how are you?
- 9:18Speaker 11: Uh, there's all my doctor's appointments and call it again.
- 9:21Speaker 11: So that's all good? Okay, Yeah, I'm excited to see
- 9:26Speaker 11: this d with the new additions and Demo coming back
- 9:30Speaker 11: and hopefully get to see Rebelle and Portually. I don't
- 9:32Speaker 11: think that they can win eight in a row to
- 9:35Speaker 11: get in the playoffs, but that hope is still there.
- 9:38Speaker 11: With that being said, what Jerry said, I don't. I
- 9:41Speaker 11: don't think they're changing defensive coordinators and most of these
- 9:44Speaker 11: position coaches will be done, so I think the next
- 9:47Speaker 11: eight games they're gonna have a really good idea. They're
- 9:50Speaker 11: gonna have to coach this group of players and have
- 9:52Speaker 11: a really good idea going into free agency and the
- 9:55Speaker 11: draft exactly what they need, because I think we've got
- 9:58Speaker 11: those guys right now that we needed. We just need
- 10:01Speaker 11: to have the extra pieces and hopefully it will get
- 10:05Speaker 11: us over the top. I got just a couple of
- 10:07Speaker 11: questions for you. I don't know if something going to
- 10:10Speaker 11: ask him, but what was the status on Millie Choker
- 10:14Speaker 11: and Wilson and Justin Simmons is out there? Does he
- 10:19Speaker 11: just want a bag of money or is he uh
- 10:22Speaker 11: done playing football? Can you all hang up and listen
- 10:24Speaker 11: to what you think and banks a lot. Have a
- 10:27Speaker 11: great day, go cowboy.
- 10:28Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know much about about the Simmons. His
- 10:33Speaker 4: name is you know comes up a lot, you know
- 10:35Speaker 4: when when people say, you know, who's out there, what
- 10:37Speaker 4: can they do? Obviously, you know, we we've seen this
- 10:41Speaker 4: team is has looked at everything, you know, to try
- 10:44Speaker 4: to to to help, you know, get this team back
- 10:47Speaker 4: in order. And that means making trades and and and
- 10:50Speaker 4: getting into next year's in the next year's draft capital
- 10:54Speaker 4: and all that. So so they've you know, they're they're
- 10:57Speaker 4: turning over the stones here to try to help this
- 11:00Speaker 4: football team this year. So my point is is, I'm
- 11:03Speaker 4: sure that they've looked at him. I don't know the
- 11:05Speaker 4: whole situation with him and why the Cowboys and the
- 11:08Speaker 4: other thirty one teams haven't haven't gone that route. As
- 11:12Speaker 4: for the safety position, I wish we had better answers.
- 11:16Speaker 4: It's been really tough with just so much time off
- 11:19Speaker 4: with the bye week, and then because of all of
- 11:23Speaker 4: the stuff happening here with with you know, with Marshawn
- 11:26Speaker 4: Neland's death, they they've really kind of shut things down.
- 11:29Speaker 4: We haven't seen, we haven't done a lot of press conferences.
- 11:33Speaker 4: That will be one today with shot and Number, but
- 11:36Speaker 4: I don't really think it's going to be a lot
- 11:37Speaker 4: of football related things. So some of these questions we
- 11:41Speaker 4: all have. You know, we haven't seen him practice yet,
- 11:43Speaker 4: so I'm not Suremanamale Cookers still on IR so they'd
- 11:46Speaker 4: have to open the window for him. They could open
- 11:49Speaker 4: it and then he could play. But I'm not sure.
- 11:54Speaker 4: I really don't know. I wish I had a better
- 11:55Speaker 4: answer on those safeties. I know that that one need
- 12:00Speaker 4: Thomas was placed on another injured list, so he he
- 12:05Speaker 4: will not be available. I wouldn't think this week, but
- 12:08Speaker 4: you've got Donovan Wilson and Malie Cooker, and I'll tell
- 12:11Speaker 4: you the safety position has really been been hit hit
- 12:14Speaker 4: hard in the last few weeks. All right, let's go.
- 12:19Speaker 4: Let's go with Sergeant Sue in Fort Worth at.
- 12:23Speaker 6: Ease, everybody.
- 12:23Speaker 12: How you doing, Nick, I'm good, I'm doing well.
- 12:26Speaker 4: Brother.
- 12:27Speaker 12: Hey, I wanted to call in because I don't know.
- 12:29Speaker 12: This is just a feeling that I have. I've been
- 12:30Speaker 12: sharing it with some people and I wanted to see
- 12:32Speaker 12: what you thought or what the other callers saw. I
- 12:34Speaker 12: kind of feel like this Monday night is going to
- 12:36Speaker 12: be like like like opening night, like like the first
- 12:40Speaker 12: game of the season. It's almost like because we have
- 12:42Speaker 12: like the Quinton Williams and Logan Wilson and Demo and
- 12:46Speaker 12: you know Donno if he plays, and you know, these
- 12:48Speaker 12: guys coming off of injury, it almost feels like they
- 12:51Speaker 12: were sitting out the preseason, you know what I mean.
- 12:53Speaker 12: It's like, what what is our defense gonna look like?
- 12:55Speaker 12: That's kind of like the feeling that I'm that I'm getting, like, Oh,
- 12:58Speaker 12: these guys didn't play any of the preseason and let's
- 13:00Speaker 12: see what they got. So that's kind of the feeling
- 13:02Speaker 12: that I'm getting. I'meeling excited about it. I want to
- 13:03Speaker 12: see what's the defense bringing, see if we have like
- 13:05Speaker 12: a balanced team for once. And also, like I was
- 13:09Speaker 12: wondering what your take on this was, Like I kind
- 13:11Speaker 12: of feel like offensive coordinators have weeks and weeks and
- 13:14Speaker 12: weeks of Dallas defense to study, but it's almost like
- 13:18Speaker 12: I wouldn't say that it's pointless film, but it's almost
- 13:21Speaker 12: not as valuable because the defense, I imagine it's going
- 13:24Speaker 12: to look a lot different. So I feel like that's
- 13:26Speaker 12: something that kind of gives us like the upper hand
- 13:28Speaker 12: going into this game.
- 13:29Speaker 11: Man.
- 13:29Speaker 12: So I'll take your answer off air, and I appreciate
- 13:31Speaker 12: you guys taking my call.
- 13:32Speaker 4: All right, thank you for the call Sergeant Sue, which
- 13:35Speaker 4: ends our streak had a streak going here. Thank you
- 13:40Speaker 4: for the call. Love hearing from the regulars, but we
- 13:44Speaker 4: had an impressive streak that was happening this week. That
- 13:49Speaker 4: was twenty seven straight callers in a row of different
- 13:54Speaker 4: different callers. Usually, you know, you get the same people
- 13:57Speaker 4: and a lot of these guys call almost I mean,
- 14:00Speaker 4: are hey had a streak of like what fifteen or
- 14:03Speaker 4: maybe thirteen straight days of calling, so from Monday Tuesday
- 14:08Speaker 4: and then about half of the of this show here,
- 14:11Speaker 4: twenty seven consecutive callers this week until Sergeant Sud called
- 14:14Speaker 4: because he had called on Monday. Which that's awesome, you know,
- 14:18Speaker 4: And it's one of those things where you like both,
- 14:21Speaker 4: you know, I like the consistency. I like to hear
- 14:23Speaker 4: the same voices but at times, but then you also like,
- 14:27Speaker 4: you know, to mix it up and let it give
- 14:29Speaker 4: everyone an opportunity. So awesome, awesome stuff. Now, to answer
- 14:34Speaker 4: your question, I disagree a little bit on the opening night.
- 14:38Speaker 4: Feel I know exactly what you're saying. You're like, this
- 14:40Speaker 4: is different, this is new. That's something. Let's see what
- 14:42Speaker 4: we got because we don't really know what you have
- 14:44Speaker 4: on defense The reason why I don't like the Opening
- 14:47Speaker 4: Night comparison is Opening Night is like, hey, who knows,
- 14:52Speaker 4: we're all at the same boat here, We're all zero
- 14:55Speaker 4: and zero and you know what, we all have a
- 14:57Speaker 4: shot and whatever you did last year doesn't matter. Let's start. Well,
- 15:02Speaker 4: it's not necessarily the case because the Cowboys are behind
- 15:05Speaker 4: the eight ball here big time. They've got to catch up,
- 15:07Speaker 4: and so it's a little bit less that way. Now.
- 15:10Speaker 4: To answer the other part about do you feel like,
- 15:12Speaker 4: you know, the Raiders tape and won't have a lot
- 15:15Speaker 4: of you know what the Cowboys have on tape, The
- 15:17Speaker 4: Raiders won't have a lot to prepare for. That's true.
- 15:21Speaker 4: That is true on the flip side, and everything has
- 15:24Speaker 4: two sides. On the flip side of that, the Cowboys
- 15:27Speaker 4: got to figure it out. I mean, this is new defense.
- 15:30Speaker 4: If it's a new defense, they've got to learn that.
- 15:32Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's gonna be a new defense, we'll
- 15:34Speaker 4: just have new pieces in it. But how do they
- 15:36Speaker 4: do this with Quinn Williams here? And where does Logan
- 15:39Speaker 4: Wilson fit and the safeties and all that. So I
- 15:41Speaker 4: think it's an advantage Cowboys, but you know they also
- 15:45Speaker 4: have to be on the same page, and we've seen
- 15:48Speaker 4: communication hasn't been the strongest part of this defensive sides.
- 15:52Speaker 4: So there's two sides to it. I'm not trying to
- 15:54Speaker 4: rain on your parade. I like the optimism, and you're right,
- 15:58Speaker 4: the Cowboys can can do some different things and it's
- 16:01Speaker 4: not really a look that the Raiders, Chip Kelly and
- 16:03Speaker 4: those guys Pete Carroll, they won't have that look. But
- 16:08Speaker 4: Cowboys have to take advantage of it too and go
- 16:10Speaker 4: out and play that way. And it can't be down
- 16:13Speaker 4: ten nothing, fourteen nothing. They've got to go out and
- 16:16Speaker 4: have some new looks, new wrinkles, and if they can
- 16:18Speaker 4: get off the field, that's great. But on the flip side,
- 16:20Speaker 4: the Cowboys are going to have to score and take
- 16:23Speaker 4: the lead. I think when the Cowboys have a lead,
- 16:25Speaker 4: obviously most teams are better football teams when they have
- 16:28Speaker 4: the lead. But I think the Cowboys can play the
- 16:30Speaker 4: way they really want to play. That's why I think
- 16:32Speaker 4: you see them take the football first, and they know
- 16:36Speaker 4: that it's really important for them to establish the lead
- 16:38Speaker 4: early confidence wise and get on the scoreboard to play
- 16:42Speaker 4: the way that they want to play. All right, Alex
- 16:45Speaker 4: in South Bay, California. Alex Nick, good morning morning, Good
- 16:50Speaker 4: morning man.
- 16:50Speaker 13: How you doing.
- 16:51Speaker 14: I'm good, I'm good man, I'm great myself.
- 16:54Speaker 8: You know, Dodgers went back to back.
- 16:56Speaker 14: If you don't, if you didn't.
- 16:57Speaker 5: Hear about that.
- 17:00Speaker 8: For all, that was great.
- 17:01Speaker 10: Big question for you, Nick, is over over Shown and Rebel?
- 17:05Speaker 14: Are they playing this weekend?
- 17:07Speaker 4: Uh? They are eligible to play this weekend. I don't.
- 17:10Speaker 4: I don't know for sure if they're going to play.
- 17:13Speaker 4: I mean, there's no guarantee that Revel will be active,
- 17:17Speaker 4: but he can play it. If he's inactive, then it's
- 17:20Speaker 4: just one of the seven guys inactive. I would imagine
- 17:22Speaker 4: over Shown is gonna play.
- 17:25Speaker 14: Okay, awesome, because that's what I wanted to touch on
- 17:27Speaker 14: as a fan base. I mean, like I said, I
- 17:29Speaker 14: listened to the show daily. I hear calls, you know,
- 17:31Speaker 14: give their opinion on the return of those two. I
- 17:34Speaker 14: think we need to pump the brakes, especially on Rebel.
- 17:36Speaker 14: I just think it's unfair to put so much expectations
- 17:38Speaker 14: on that young man. He hasn't played a snap of
- 17:41Speaker 14: NFL football. I hear a lot of players or a
- 17:43Speaker 14: lot of callers excited to, you know, get him on
- 17:45Speaker 14: the field, which as am I, but I just want to,
- 17:48Speaker 14: you know, kind of lower our expectations with him and
- 17:50Speaker 14: even overshown to an extent because obviously he has played
- 17:54Speaker 14: NFL football and we know he's capable of but he
- 17:57Speaker 14: is coming off an injury, you know what I mean,
- 17:59Speaker 14: like a serious injury. So I think for us as
- 18:01Speaker 14: a fan base, let's just be a little fair to
- 18:03Speaker 14: them and kind of lower expectations. Let them settle in
- 18:06Speaker 14: and we obviously hope for the best, but to expect.
- 18:09Speaker 5: Them to come in Game.
- 18:10Speaker 14: One whenever that is, and have an immediate impact, that's
- 18:13Speaker 14: just unfair to both of them. But yeah, man, that's
- 18:16Speaker 14: all I got. Was good talking to you. Take care
- 18:18Speaker 14: of yourself everyone over there, and I love you guys.
- 18:20Speaker 4: All right, Thanks man, appreciate it. Thank you for the call.
- 18:22Speaker 4: Uh did he saw a Dodgers reference in there? It
- 18:25Speaker 4: was kind of hard to hear. I think did he
- 18:26Speaker 4: say Dodgers two in a row? You know, we don't
- 18:30Speaker 4: talk baseball in here unless the Rangers win the World Series,
- 18:34Speaker 4: and if they do, then I might say something. But no,
- 18:36Speaker 4: it's good, Rebel, You're exactly right about that. I'm pumping
- 18:39Speaker 4: the breaks is is the is the right term there
- 18:42Speaker 4: with with him, because you know, you just don't know
- 18:46Speaker 4: what to expect talent wise, He's he's got it. I
- 18:50Speaker 4: think if he would have played that whole season, he
- 18:53Speaker 4: probably would have been the first round pick that that
- 18:55Speaker 4: that he was projected to be. But he know, you
- 19:00Speaker 4: also got to remember too, is that the conference that
- 19:03Speaker 4: he's in. I think it was it's the American Conference.
- 19:06Speaker 4: I mean, like top wide receivers that are in the
- 19:10Speaker 4: draft aren't coming out of that that that conference, and
- 19:12Speaker 4: so he he I'm sure he looks really good, but
- 19:16Speaker 4: you know, he he needs to play some top elite
- 19:19Speaker 4: players and and kind of get his legs under him
- 19:22Speaker 4: a little bit. So you know, I anything he does
- 19:25Speaker 4: this year, it's gravy to me. I think I think
- 19:28Speaker 4: him being on the field is good. Uh and and
- 19:32Speaker 4: he needs these these games and then the offseason and
- 19:36Speaker 4: all that. And I think he has a chance next year,
- 19:38Speaker 4: probably even competing for a starting job. But I think
- 19:41Speaker 4: he's just got to ease his way in right now.
- 19:44Speaker 4: He just needs to practice. And the good thing too
- 19:46Speaker 4: is when I was talking about those those elite receivers
- 19:49Speaker 4: that you know, he needs to go up and face.
- 19:51Speaker 4: I'm pointing to the practice field. You guys don't know this.
- 19:55Speaker 4: That's the practice field. You can't get much better competition
- 19:58Speaker 4: than that. You go out there and and even if
- 20:01Speaker 4: he's on the second team defense, it's even better go
- 20:03Speaker 4: out there and face uh ceedee lamb, George Pickens. I mean,
- 20:08Speaker 4: you're gonna find out real quick with what you have
- 20:10Speaker 4: just here in practice. So I think that that's the
- 20:12Speaker 4: most valuable part. And then he'll just kind of keep
- 20:14Speaker 4: easing into things. But let's not come back next week
- 20:18Speaker 4: and say, oh, he was inactive or he played only
- 20:20Speaker 4: on special teams. I thought he was great. He needs
- 20:24Speaker 4: he needs time. He needs he needs time to kind
- 20:26Speaker 4: of get, you know, get into a little bit. All right,
- 20:29Speaker 4: Ali and Florida is next. Good morning, sir morning. How
- 20:34Speaker 4: are you pretty good?
- 20:35Speaker 15: Buddy?
- 20:35Speaker 7: How about you?
- 20:36Speaker 10: Good couple things?
- 20:39Speaker 8: Uh?
- 20:39Speaker 15: First, I want to give my diepest sympathy to Kneeland
- 20:43Speaker 15: family and Cowboys family and uh I listened to Monday
- 20:49Speaker 15: Show finally, just got home late last night.
- 20:53Speaker 7: But here is my take on him.
- 20:56Speaker 15: I want to share a couple things that is very
- 20:58Speaker 15: dear to my heart. I have this little index card
- 21:03Speaker 15: I'm made for myself. It's I put it back over
- 21:08Speaker 15: my front door. It says, be nice to everyone across
- 21:13Speaker 15: your path today because they have it worse.
- 21:17Speaker 10: Than you do.
- 21:18Speaker 15: So I always start my day with a prayer, read
- 21:23Speaker 15: it before I leave my apartment. But as far as
- 21:29Speaker 15: the personal stuff, I'm the We have three siblings in
- 21:35Speaker 15: my family, my older brother, my older sister Ami. My
- 21:39Speaker 15: older brother passed away in an accident when.
- 21:41Speaker 7: I was twelve.
- 21:43Speaker 15: Then my mom, she passed away when I was fourteen
- 21:47Speaker 15: from breast cancer. And the same day my father killed himself.
- 21:55Speaker 15: That was the first suicide in my family that affected
- 22:00Speaker 15: me that I thought me and my sister we were
- 22:04Speaker 15: not worthy of living for us.
- 22:07Speaker 9: So my mom she was rock, my rock.
- 22:10Speaker 15: So I remember many years ago I reached out to
- 22:14Speaker 15: Coach Landry and wrote him my testimony and I was
- 22:20Speaker 15: to my surprise he answered me back.
- 22:23Speaker 9: I was so shocked.
- 22:24Speaker 15: I always look at Tom Landry as a father figure.
- 22:27Speaker 15: But another coach is my life. A big good friend
- 22:30Speaker 15: is the coach Donye. And I remember as a father
- 22:34Speaker 15: always so scared like something happened to my children.
- 22:38Speaker 9: So Coach Donye.
- 22:41Speaker 15: He has three child and eight adopted ones, but his
- 22:48Speaker 15: son James, his suicide at age eighteen. I remember when
- 22:54Speaker 15: I went to the church, he stood behind the podium
- 22:58Speaker 15: and says, I appreciate God for eighteen years.
- 23:02Speaker 7: He gave me James to my life.
- 23:05Speaker 15: So since then I've been relaxing. I've been working with
- 23:08Speaker 15: Lauren Dongee with the family versus stuff. So it's kind
- 23:14Speaker 15: of really I believe God used your owners struggle to
- 23:19Speaker 15: reach out to somebody else. I know holiday time everybody
- 23:23Speaker 15: gets depressed. Looking back, I don't change anything. I never
- 23:27Speaker 15: feel sorry for myself. At that time, I did, but
- 23:31Speaker 15: not now I know better. I use my platform to
- 23:36Speaker 15: reach out to people. I'm extremely positive person and as
- 23:41Speaker 15: you know, I've never come in to ask for anybody
- 23:44Speaker 15: get fired. That's how to be positive. And it's so
- 23:48Speaker 15: nice to people open up and love each other. I
- 23:53Speaker 15: appreciate you and Chris to give us this platform that
- 23:57Speaker 15: time to time we can express something besides football, beyonding
- 24:03Speaker 15: this together. And I just want to tell you I
- 24:06Speaker 15: love you and I appreciate everything you got to do and.
- 24:12Speaker 4: Go Cowboys, Wow, thank you, thank you for the call.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Ali Wow. Powerful stuff. You never know what people are
- 24:23Speaker 4: going through and what people have gone through and what
- 24:27Speaker 4: a testimony that is for you, Ali to you know,
- 24:32Speaker 4: what you saw as a young kid, as a teenager,
- 24:36Speaker 4: what you had to experience and go through, and what
- 24:40Speaker 4: you overcame, you know, And so that's that's that's amazing,
- 24:48Speaker 4: you know because as I said this on Monday, you
- 24:51Speaker 4: know when you see when kids see their parents, certain
- 24:55Speaker 4: ways they look at this is you know, their dad's
- 24:58Speaker 4: a doctor, Like, well maybe I can be a doctor
- 25:00Speaker 4: if their dad does this or their mom does it,
- 25:02Speaker 4: you know, like maybe I can be like this good
- 25:04Speaker 4: or bad. And then you know, bad things happen that
- 25:07Speaker 4: they see they think maybe this is an option, this
- 25:09Speaker 4: is a way. And then I love the fact that
- 25:12Speaker 4: there's certain people, even as a teenager, to say this
- 25:16Speaker 4: is going to be my path, this is going to
- 25:18Speaker 4: be my way. And Ali, thank you for the call
- 25:22Speaker 4: and sharing that. And as I said all week, you
- 25:25Speaker 4: know we've had a lot of different calls. If that's
- 25:27Speaker 4: if that's the call that that needed needs to be made, fine,
- 25:31Speaker 4: Do you want to talk about where overshow needs to
- 25:33Speaker 4: play on the field, totally fine too. So that's what's

- 27:59Speaker 4: three shows here since we've started this week. You know,
- 28:02Speaker 4: it's been more about life than than about football and
- 28:06Speaker 4: sharing stories and perspectives and and uh, let me just
- 28:11Speaker 4: say this too. This is going back to Monday show
- 28:14Speaker 4: gets alluded to a lot and if you haven't seen it,
- 28:17Speaker 4: I mean it was it's a powerful show. I wouldn't
- 28:19Speaker 4: say it was fun show, but it was one you know,
- 28:21Speaker 4: we did we got through it, but we heard some things.
- 28:25Speaker 4: And and I've had a few people reach out Cowboy
- 28:28Speaker 4: and Eco in Colorado. I hope you're doing okay. All right,
- 28:35Speaker 4: we're doing doing okay. And and if if you need
- 28:38Speaker 4: people to talk to, I guarantee you guy people men
- 28:42Speaker 4: and women in this group, this Cowboy storyline family that
- 28:46Speaker 4: would be there for you. And uh, we're all winners here.
- 28:52Speaker 4: We're winning, okay, you're you're we're living. We're winning, so
- 28:56Speaker 4: there's no there's no losers and all that kind of stuff.
- 28:59Speaker 4: You said some things that that I think was very
- 29:01Speaker 4: eye opening, and everyone's hoping that you're doing okay. And
- 29:04Speaker 4: some of the others that called and shared some some
- 29:06Speaker 4: experiences as well. So and also I want to shout
- 29:09Speaker 4: out to Sheriff Lonnie from yesterday. You had some great
- 29:13Speaker 4: things that were said. I hope you guys, know, this
- 29:16Speaker 4: Tuesday show is a timed show. We have to get
- 29:20Speaker 4: out on the second, and so I apologize. You were
- 29:25Speaker 4: saying some really great things, and if you want to
- 29:26Speaker 4: call back, feel free call back and you'll have the floor.
- 29:30Speaker 4: But but we had to end that show when we did,
- 29:33Speaker 4: and so I apologize if that seemed, you know, insensitive
- 29:37Speaker 4: and disrespectful, that's kind of where we were. We're kind
- 29:40Speaker 4: of up against it right then and there. So that's
- 29:42Speaker 4: that's why the other shows aren't really like that. We
- 29:44Speaker 4: kind of have a time that we need to get out.
- 29:46Speaker 4: But you know, you know, every now and every now
- 29:49Speaker 4: and again, well we'll act like talking cowboys and we'll
- 29:51Speaker 4: go forever, but for the most part, we try to
- 29:53Speaker 4: keep it going. All right, Chris and San Angelo, what's up, man?
- 29:57Speaker 9: Hey, mister you too, Harry. I'm well, man, and I
- 30:02Speaker 9: feel better now because Sergeants I called it on Monday.
- 30:05Speaker 9: Sergeants Sue broke the streak, so I don't have to
- 30:10Speaker 9: have that. We're gonna we're gonna make Sergeant Sue carry
- 30:13Speaker 9: that way.
- 30:14Speaker 4: That's okay, I mean, twenty nine out of thirty, that's
- 30:17Speaker 4: pretty good. That's pretty good. Now, But now we got
- 30:19Speaker 4: a new streak going.
- 30:20Speaker 7: Uh.
- 30:21Speaker 4: And then our next scholar too, is also a repeat.
- 30:23Speaker 4: It's fine. I mean, that's that's what makes the show.
- 30:26Speaker 4: So I want both, I want I want the balance
- 30:29Speaker 4: of both here and so that's what well we we
- 30:32Speaker 4: have in this show.
- 30:33Speaker 9: Hey, sergeants, who is a tough guy? He can handle it?
- 30:36Speaker 10: Yeah, Hey, mister Nick.
- 30:37Speaker 9: Where I was gonna go with this As far as
- 30:39Speaker 9: the defense goes, I do. I love the moves. Uh.
- 30:44Speaker 9: And my answer to that is really simple, is you
- 30:49Speaker 9: get better players, then you're gonna have a better defense.
- 30:54Speaker 4: Funny us, yeah green now defense god right.
- 31:01Speaker 9: Yeah exactly. Now after that profound statement, I was going
- 31:05Speaker 9: to move over to the to the offense and George Pickens,
- 31:10Speaker 9: and I was thinking about this. I'm wondering, do you
- 31:13Speaker 9: think that there is any kind of remnants left from
- 31:20Speaker 9: you know, and I'm air quoting here him being kind
- 31:23Speaker 9: of a head case that would in any way, well,
- 31:26Speaker 9: you know, just kind of help the leverage that the
- 31:30Speaker 9: Cowboys are going to get as they're you know, on
- 31:32Speaker 9: this contract, you think there's any of that left? And
- 31:35Speaker 9: my other one about him is if they do not
- 31:38Speaker 9: sign him resigning, how big a nee do you think
- 31:43Speaker 9: whide receiver is going forward in the next draft.
- 31:48Speaker 4: That's all I have for you, buddy, Great questions, great
- 31:50Speaker 4: great stuff. I think what Pickens is showing the Cowboys
- 31:57Speaker 4: is is you need another guy. You know, you you
- 32:00Speaker 4: need to make this offense really go. You you need
- 32:03Speaker 4: another playmaker, especially with the way injuries are. CD got
- 32:07Speaker 4: got banged up, and you know Pickens was there and
- 32:10Speaker 4: they were able to have some success even even without him.
- 32:15Speaker 4: You know, they they tied. You know, the Packers, you know,
- 32:21Speaker 4: they they weren't the same. You know, they definitely weren't
- 32:24Speaker 4: weren't the same with without CD, you know when he
- 32:29Speaker 4: got hurt in the Bears game. But uh, you know,
- 32:31Speaker 4: he he's he's needed. He's a you know, having two
- 32:35Speaker 4: receivers is absolutely in need. And so I you know,
- 32:41Speaker 4: try to make it work and and see about re
- 32:44Speaker 4: signing him. You could franchise him if you want to.
- 32:48Speaker 4: But you know, the tricky part there is this CD
- 32:53Speaker 4: he contract is because you know, agent doesn't care. You know,
- 32:58Speaker 4: agent's gonna ask for more money than what's CD is making.
- 33:00Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's the way. That's the way these goes.
- 33:03Speaker 4: I mean, that's they go like that, and so it
- 33:04Speaker 4: doesn't matter if they're on the same team or not.
- 33:06Speaker 4: So they're gonna ask for for for more than than
- 33:10Speaker 4: the you know, gonna be the highest paid receiver in
- 33:12Speaker 4: the NFL. That that's at least the asking price that
- 33:14Speaker 4: I'm not saying the land there. But how does that work?
- 33:18Speaker 4: He gets a deal more than CD now what? So
- 33:23Speaker 4: there's something, there's some things that they have to figure out.
- 33:26Speaker 4: But I think one way or another, you can see
- 33:29Speaker 4: that that the need is there for them to to
- 33:32Speaker 4: get a player that can be come, step right in
- 33:34Speaker 4: and play. And you don't always see top receivers just
- 33:38Speaker 4: instantly make the impact, you know, and you can go
- 33:41Speaker 4: around and see, I guess it's Carolina's guy McMillan. Is
- 33:44Speaker 4: he you know, is he having a great season? I mean,
- 33:48Speaker 4: you know, I don't think his quarterbacks is the best
- 33:50Speaker 4: and so if a lot of it comes into into that,
- 33:53Speaker 4: but I I would try my best. I mean, you
- 33:56Speaker 4: already let a superstar go out the door, and Michael Parsons,
- 33:59Speaker 4: I'm not saying Pickings is on this same level, but
- 34:01Speaker 4: he's really really good, and I think they need to
- 34:03Speaker 4: figure out a way to try to keep him because
- 34:05Speaker 4: this offense has looked so much better when you have
- 34:09Speaker 4: them both in it. All right, let's go to Dylan Northport, Florida.
- 34:14Speaker 18: Hey, Nick, how are you going good?
- 34:16Speaker 4: How are you?
- 34:17Speaker 18: I'm good man, So getting back to football here. So
- 34:20Speaker 18: this defense just want to see some just small incremental
- 34:24Speaker 18: improvements every week. I don't need to see like a
- 34:27Speaker 18: big thing every single week to something to build on. Offensively,
- 34:31Speaker 18: I'm not really worried about them. I know they've had
- 34:32Speaker 18: a couple of slow weeks, but they didn't really struggle
- 34:34Speaker 18: last week. It was they they just did stupid things
- 34:36Speaker 18: in scoring territory the left, like twelve to sixteen points
- 34:39Speaker 18: on the board, and when you get inside the five
- 34:40Speaker 18: shark line, just just run the ball and you'll be
- 34:42Speaker 18: all right. I know they've got some struggles at the
- 34:44Speaker 18: tackle positions, but you know, they cowboys moved the ball
- 34:47Speaker 18: just fine. They just left points on the field. You
- 34:49Speaker 18: can't do that. But the defense, you know, this week,
- 34:53Speaker 18: I'm looking for one thing very specifically third down, Like
- 34:55Speaker 18: if it's third and seventeen, for God's sake, can we
- 34:57Speaker 18: just get a stop? Like it seemed like it didn't
- 35:00Speaker 18: matter if it was third and five or third and
- 35:02Speaker 18: twenty last week or the last time they played, it
- 35:04Speaker 18: was just automatic first time every time. And you know,
- 35:07Speaker 18: with Quinn and Williams, I think all the defensive lineles
- 35:09Speaker 18: better also will stop basing so many double teams. Kenny
- 35:12Speaker 18: Clark and rest Allen Thomas is at playing well as
- 35:14Speaker 18: a rock who's coming along well. Obviously they got over
- 35:17Speaker 18: shown and Logan Wilson coming back to the linebacker standpoint,
- 35:20Speaker 18: and so from a personal perspective, this whole thing's all
- 35:23Speaker 18: look very different. It just depends on kind of how
- 35:25Speaker 18: Flos wants to handle this and play these guys. So
- 35:29Speaker 18: now we're not out of it this year, but let's
- 35:30Speaker 18: start the building process. It's mix small improvements every week
- 35:33Speaker 18: and let's build a strong foundation for today and in
- 35:36Speaker 18: the future.
- 35:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I totally agree with that, and I'm you know,
- 35:41Speaker 4: I know there will be people that disagree and some fans,
- 35:46Speaker 4: some media whatever. I'm never going to be the one
- 35:48Speaker 4: that says, you know, don't go win the game. I'm
- 35:50Speaker 4: not going to be that guy. Like, you know, when
- 35:55Speaker 4: you get later in the season, if they lose a
- 35:57Speaker 4: little bit, you're can be like all right, just just
- 35:58Speaker 4: you know, let's don't mess up the draft pick. But
- 36:00Speaker 4: you've got two draft picks, and so you know, if
- 36:03Speaker 4: you really want to go up get a top player,
- 36:06Speaker 4: you can if you want to go that route. Now,
- 36:08Speaker 4: currently they don't have a second or a third round
- 36:10Speaker 4: pick next year, so I would imagine one of these
- 36:12Speaker 4: picks is probably gonna go backwards, uh than then forward package.
- 36:16Speaker 4: I mean that that's probably a more likely scenario. But
- 36:19Speaker 4: I like what you're saying, Dylan, just kind of package this,
- 36:21Speaker 4: I mean, just kind of keep getting better, getting better.
- 36:24Speaker 4: I think this team needs to figure out how to
- 36:26Speaker 4: win games, how to win close games. Keep keep learning
- 36:30Speaker 4: to do that. And so I'm I'm always about playing.
- 36:33Speaker 4: Plus you've heard me say this before. I'm not I'm
- 36:35Speaker 4: not big on the on the tanking part of things.
- 36:39Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of people there that are
- 36:42Speaker 4: that are going to the game, a lot of young
- 36:43Speaker 4: kids and could be some Christmas presidents under the tree
- 36:46Speaker 4: of you know, of this football game to go watch
- 36:49Speaker 4: the team play. They deserve your best. So go go
- 36:52Speaker 4: win the game. Go go win the game, and then
- 36:54Speaker 4: afterwards we'll see, We'll see what happens, See what place
- 36:56Speaker 4: you finish in, what your schedule looks like, let's see
- 36:59Speaker 4: what your draft is all affords. But to me, you know,
- 37:03Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, you got seventeen football games. You gotta
- 37:05Speaker 4: go win them. You gotta go win the games. And
- 37:07Speaker 4: that's that's the way. I call me old school if
- 37:09Speaker 4: you want to, because fans can say that like, well,
- 37:11Speaker 4: I hope they lose because of this and this and that.
- 37:13Speaker 4: That's fine because you know you're gonna be there next year.
- 37:15Speaker 4: But these coaches don't, and these players don't, and so
- 37:18Speaker 4: it's their job to go keep winning and they'll see
- 37:20Speaker 4: what happens. I mean, they're not out of anything, but
- 37:23Speaker 4: I mean it's definitely uphill. So you got to tape
- 37:26Speaker 4: the ankles and get going. Here Armando, Armando in Mexico
- 37:29Speaker 4: City's next.
- 37:31Speaker 13: Hey Chris, Sorry, Nick, how are you?
- 37:33Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you good?
- 37:36Speaker 11: Good?
- 37:36Speaker 13: Long time?
- 37:36Speaker 11: No?
- 37:37Speaker 18: See?
- 37:37Speaker 13: Yeah here I am. So I'm still a little well,
- 37:42Speaker 13: a lot shocked about Marchia and Eland really really sad
- 37:46Speaker 13: about that. So Nick will know that cows have the
- 37:50Speaker 13: west trainers and the best doctors for the physical part.
- 37:55Speaker 13: Do they have any sort of program for mental health
- 37:59Speaker 13: to take care of that? Do you know that?
- 38:02Speaker 4: Are you talking about the cowboys within with the team. Yeah, yes,
- 38:06Speaker 4: they they do. I mean, like that's that's what makes
- 38:10Speaker 4: this whole thing, you know, difficult. Do they have programs? Yes,
- 38:13Speaker 4: yes they they they do, But that that doesn't mean
- 38:17Speaker 4: that that the players go through what the steps they
- 38:21Speaker 4: need to and ask the right questions and get the
- 38:24Speaker 4: right help that they need, you know, I mean, that's
- 38:26Speaker 4: that's yet. Do they have programs, Absolutely, they have programs
- 38:29Speaker 4: for that. They have a lot of people here, they
- 38:31Speaker 4: have doctors and psychiatrists, and they have a huge team
- 38:35Speaker 4: for this. So yes, but the players have to have
- 38:40Speaker 4: to also do their part in this and and ask
- 38:44Speaker 4: for help when they need it. And and and I'm
- 38:47Speaker 4: not this isn't I don't know, this isn't a finger
- 38:50Speaker 4: pointing thing whatever. Do they have things in place to
- 38:52Speaker 4: help people? Yes, And I'm sure they have helped a
- 38:55Speaker 4: lot of people that we don't necessarily know. So yes,
- 38:58Speaker 4: yes they do.
- 39:00Speaker 13: Wow. Well, so anyway I need to I'm happy because
- 39:05Speaker 13: I listened to an interview of Amber to Garry Jones
- 39:10Speaker 13: a few weeks ago, saying that Becaus have an interest
- 39:15Speaker 13: in coming back to Mexico City, maybe next year, service
- 39:17Speaker 13: next year, So I hope that does materialize. If and
- 39:21Speaker 13: when that happens, remember I'll tell you and Chris to
- 39:24Speaker 13: get some real tackles.
- 39:25Speaker 4: Okay.
- 39:26Speaker 13: So yeah, so I'm happy about that. Also, another thing
- 39:32Speaker 13: that has been happening. When they announced the Super Bowl
- 39:37Speaker 13: halftime show, a lot of people went really mud because
- 39:41Speaker 13: it's going to be bad Bunny and say you have
- 39:43Speaker 13: to learn Spanish to understand him. Well, don't worry, won't
- 39:48Speaker 13: understand him in Spanish anyway, So it's the same thing.
- 39:51Speaker 13: So yeah, so it was no problem with that. So
- 39:55Speaker 13: that's it for today. Nick. I'm glad to to talk
- 40:00Speaker 13: again and see you next time.
- 40:01Speaker 4: All right, thanks, Armando, appreciate that. Did I hear that?
- 40:05Speaker 7: Right?
- 40:06Speaker 4: He says he doesn't understand him either. I don't know
- 40:10Speaker 4: much about it, but I'm sure he'll he'll put on
- 40:12Speaker 4: a heck of a show. And you know, I mean
- 40:17Speaker 4: it is what it is, I'm sure it'll be it'll
- 40:18Speaker 4: be great. All right, Let's go to break real quick

- 41:45Speaker 4: dot Com. Let's go back to the phone line for
- 41:47Speaker 4: Jeremy and DC. Jeremy, what's up?
- 41:50Speaker 5: Hey, Yo?
- 41:50Speaker 19: Nick?
- 41:51Speaker 21: What's up?
- 41:51Speaker 7: Man? How you doing?
- 41:52Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you?
- 41:53Speaker 21: I'm doing all right?
- 41:54Speaker 7: Man.
- 41:54Speaker 21: You didn't hurt nobody at not today, no kind of early.
- 41:59Speaker 21: So I'm that out.
- 42:00Speaker 4: We're good. We're not hurting anybody. We're trying to help everybody.
- 42:04Speaker 21: Yeah, oh, I understand you on that, man. So a
- 42:07Speaker 21: couple of quick things. I do love the trade, you
- 42:10Speaker 21: know what I'm saying. I do think that that he
- 42:15Speaker 21: will add a bunch of our defensive tackle. I'm drawing
- 42:18Speaker 21: a blank right now because I got so much stuff
- 42:20Speaker 21: long my head.
- 42:22Speaker 4: Yeah, Quinnin Williams, Yeah.
- 42:25Speaker 21: I believe that he's gonna add a bunch of what
- 42:28Speaker 21: we've been looking for on that defensive line as far
- 42:31Speaker 21: as stopping the run and bring an interior pressure for
- 42:35Speaker 21: the quarterbacks. Now, with that said, the whole the mart
- 42:40Speaker 21: the whole Marshawn k Neeland thing kind of triggered me
- 42:43Speaker 21: a little bit, Nick, because I know I seem like
- 42:45Speaker 21: a joyful guy, but I do be going through some things, man,
- 42:49Speaker 21: and half the stuff that I could tell you guys,
- 42:51Speaker 21: most of you guys who start crying, you know what
- 42:54Speaker 21: I'm saying. So it's like I've been through the dark
- 42:58Speaker 21: thing where I lost my mom with the cancer thing,
- 43:02Speaker 21: like a couple of days before my middle school graduation,
- 43:06Speaker 21: you know. And then I lost my dad when I
- 43:09Speaker 21: was like five, and then I lost my brother in
- 43:12Speaker 21: like twenty five, you know. So like so that whole
- 43:17Speaker 21: thing was kind of like triggering, and then the Nico
- 43:20Speaker 21: thing was kind of triggering. That's why I haven't been
- 43:22Speaker 21: calling in. I just had to bring myself back down
- 43:24Speaker 21: to earth, you know what I'm saying. But I do
- 43:28Speaker 21: pray for all of you guys going through this, man,
- 43:31Speaker 21: because it's not hard. I mean, it's hard. It's not
- 43:33Speaker 21: easy to fight this struggle, you know what I'm saying.
- 43:37Speaker 21: But all I can say is just try to like
- 43:43Speaker 21: just try to comfort those people. A lot of the times,
- 43:46Speaker 21: we don't like to talk about this kind of stuff.
- 43:48Speaker 21: We just like to be in the presence of people
- 43:51Speaker 21: that we like and that we know, you know what
- 43:54Speaker 21: I'm saying, because the talking about it part, it just
- 43:57Speaker 21: makes it seem like people just asking a bunch of
- 43:59Speaker 21: questions to get irritated. But other than that, man, I
- 44:03Speaker 21: just I just I just want to tell you guys,
- 44:06Speaker 21: thank y'all because y'all kind of like listening to the
- 44:09Speaker 21: show listen to all, because I listened to all.
- 44:11Speaker 22: The shows every day, skid, I listen to all the
- 44:14Speaker 22: sho The only thing I listened to is Cowboys, Like
- 44:17Speaker 22: I go home, put on all the podcasts, watch highlights
- 44:20Speaker 22: and like that's all I do.
- 44:24Speaker 21: This is my therapy.
- 44:27Speaker 4: We appreciate you, Jeremy God for all I think all
- 44:30Speaker 4: of you guys for y'all support, even though y'all didn't
- 44:33Speaker 4: even know y'all was supporting.
- 44:34Speaker 21: And I thank you. You know what I'm saying, Nick,
- 44:37Speaker 21: And I'll call y'all later on.
- 44:39Speaker 4: All right, I have a good thank you Jeremy for
- 44:41Speaker 4: the call. And boys, that's a lot to deal with.
- 44:44Speaker 4: And if I did my math correct, that's you know,
- 44:47Speaker 4: five when you were five, and probably around when you
- 44:50Speaker 4: were fifteen and then twenty five, so you you know,
- 44:53Speaker 4: you dealt with heartache unfortunately on a consistent basis there
- 44:57Speaker 4: throughout your life and able to get through it. And
- 45:00Speaker 4: so you know, and you say that about you know
- 45:04Speaker 4: you're having to go through things. You know, a lot
- 45:05Speaker 4: of people on here they're very optimistic, you know about
- 45:08Speaker 4: the team, you know, but optimistic. And I think having
- 45:11Speaker 4: a glass half full approach to life is is very
- 45:15Speaker 4: important because what happens is is when you when negative
- 45:19Speaker 4: things happen to you, you still can look at the positives.
- 45:23Speaker 4: You know, while I'm healthy here, I've got my family here,
- 45:26Speaker 4: or I've got this job here or or whatever it is,
- 45:30Speaker 4: you know that you can look at that as opposed
- 45:32Speaker 4: to some that's just it's always negative, negative, negative, all
- 45:36Speaker 4: the time, and it's hard. That's that's where I think
- 45:38Speaker 4: it's hard to see the good through things. And then
- 45:41Speaker 4: you know, that's why it's important to see the good
- 45:43Speaker 4: and in every little thing, and in the good in people,
- 45:46Speaker 4: and the good in different situations, because then when you
- 45:48Speaker 4: add it all up, you're like, no, I mean I
- 45:51Speaker 4: have it, okay, I'm doing good. We got this in
- 45:53Speaker 4: this as opposed to what you don't have. Again, I'm
- 45:56Speaker 4: not a therapist, I'm not any of that. I'm just
- 45:58Speaker 4: you know, just saying what of works, what works for me,
- 46:01Speaker 4: and what works for others. All right, let's go one
- 46:04Speaker 4: more caller here, and it's a new caller Mason in Minnesota. Mason, Hello,
- 46:11Speaker 4: first time caller. You've made your own sound effects. I
- 46:18Speaker 4: love it all. Right, Well, this is our last call
- 46:20Speaker 4: of the of the of the show here. So what
- 46:23Speaker 4: do you got for us?
- 46:27Speaker 10: Yeah? For us for giving up.
- 46:29Speaker 8: I'm not one ever to give up.
- 46:32Speaker 10: Give it your all, give it your best. Yeah.
- 46:36Speaker 8: Does that maybe possibly give you a worst draft pick? Yeah,
- 46:41Speaker 8: but I tell you what, the way the Cowboys draft,
- 46:45Speaker 8: you can't go wrong with finishing, you know, if we
- 46:48Speaker 8: end up not doing as good as we would like,
- 46:52Speaker 8: but still gave it her all and finish eight and
- 46:55Speaker 8: nine or ten and eight, you know, optimistically.
- 47:00Speaker 10: Yeah, just giving it or all. That's what I'm a
- 47:03Speaker 10: fan of.
- 47:04Speaker 8: And and seeing them go out there and and try,
- 47:07Speaker 8: like Ceedee Lamb last year he was hurt, he was injured,
- 47:10Speaker 8: and he was out.
- 47:11Speaker 10: There with one arm. Yeah, you know, I mean that's
- 47:16Speaker 10: where the heart.
- 47:17Speaker 8: Is and and that and.
- 47:19Speaker 10: And that's why you know, we love watching.
- 47:22Speaker 4: These guys, you know, right, right, yeah, I mean you
- 47:26Speaker 4: you're you're exactly right, you know. And he's one of
- 47:29Speaker 4: those few players that that have gotten a big contract
- 47:32Speaker 4: and he's still kind of lived up to it. And
- 47:34Speaker 4: that's that's the thing. I mean, that's that's one of
- 47:37Speaker 4: these these situation that's kind of hurt this team, is
- 47:39Speaker 4: that these guys that have been resigned to deals for
- 47:42Speaker 4: what one reason or another would be injuries or just
- 47:44Speaker 4: haven't played as well. Obviously expectations go higher. But you know,
- 47:48Speaker 4: you know, you don't have a lot of guys that
- 47:50Speaker 4: have really said, oh, he got paid and he's been
- 47:53Speaker 4: balling out. It's it's a short list. CD I thinks
- 47:56Speaker 4: at the top of it that that's up there too,
- 47:58Speaker 4: but that that money is so high that X spectations
- 48:00Speaker 4: or even higher. Yeah right, Draymond, Yeah, sorry, all right, Mason,
- 48:07Speaker 4: you got anything else?
- 48:09Speaker 10: No, that's it. Thank you so much. I've been waiting
- 48:11Speaker 10: a long time. Good days and.
- 48:13Speaker 4: So awesome to be on here. All right, Well, it's
- 48:17Speaker 4: great to have you and call us back. And it's
- 48:19Speaker 4: been a great week. Thank you for the call. It's
- 48:21Speaker 4: been a great week of new callers and different callers
- 48:24Speaker 4: and my count thirty five callers we've had this week,
- 48:28Speaker 4: thirty two different voices. That's awesome. That that that is great. So,
- 48:33Speaker 4: but we know there's a lot more that have been called.
- 48:36Speaker 4: I mean, I can I know we've got captains and
- 48:40Speaker 4: all storyline. You know, first, second, third teamers that we
- 48:43Speaker 4: haven't heard from this week. That's what makes this show
- 48:44Speaker 4: so fun. So hopefully we'll hear from them later on
- 48:47Speaker 4: this week. All right for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eaven
- 48:49Speaker 4: See tomorrow. Cowboy storyline.
- 48:51Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 48:54Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
