  Speaker 1: The following.

  Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

  Speaker 3: Cowboys, This's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It is Monday, September
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: twenty third. Coming off, Cowboys lost to the Ravens twenty
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: eight to twenty five. Interesting game, to say the least,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: not even sure game's been I don't know, twelve hours old,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: maybe sixteen hours old, and I still don't really know
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: what the process from that game. Interesting fourth quarter for
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but they still they still got dominated when
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it really mattered. And I think that's the most concerning
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: thing about this about this game. You can get it,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you know, happy about the fourth quarter if you want to,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and that maybe maybe the offense found something. I don't know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: but but I think, you know, the moralizing part is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that the Ravens pretty much did what they wanted to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: when they wanted to and UH and and that was
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: evident in the game for really three and a half quarters.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So Cowboy was sitting at one and two. We can
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: talk about it short week this week though, we got
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: two shows and then we'll be going to UH to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: New York on Wednesday, so we will get it all
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in here today and tomorrow. Eight eight eight eight five
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: five to two nine seven is the number to call
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Michael from Colton, California as first, let's go.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Nick. Hey man, that was man, that was
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: That was very disappointing. But you know it's a saying.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: You know that, that saying that goes. You got to
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: know when to hold them, know when to fold them.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: And you know what, man, I'm gonna go ahead and
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: fold them. I was wrong. This team is not ready
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: for for the NFC Championship game, you know what. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: I will say this, they have talent and that's that's
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: what's pulled fussed reading about it. Is they have talent
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: across the board. They have a good quarterback, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: I mean running back. We can sit here and beat
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: that dead horse all day. But it is what it is,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: you know. But that's the frustrating part to me, is
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: just the talent is there, which leads me to believe
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: that it's just the coaching scheme is not where it
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: needs to be. Or hey, maybe it's not the staff
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: we need in here to get us to where we
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: need to get, you know, But I mean.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: The hold them and fold them is a poker term obviously,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: when you're holding your cards and decide to just fold
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the cards. So when you say that, what do you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: mean by fold them?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Well, what I mean by that is, you know, at
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, I told you I'm all in.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: They're going to go to the NFC Championship Game, Dak
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Prescott for MVP. And I'm not knocking Dak Prescott. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: think he's gonna have a good season. It's still early.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: It's way too early to say he's bad. I'm not
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: saying that at all. But that's what I mean. For
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: me personally, I'm folding on that. I was wrong. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: was wrong when I said that. Oh that's what I
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: mean by that, Okay, And like I said, the talent
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: is there. The talent is there. There's no question about that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: But it's like, man, what is going on here?
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: And that's what leads reached to believe it's just the
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: coaching scheme. It's the coaching, you know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: But what you know, Thank you first, all right, Michael,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: thank you, thanks for the call. Appreciate that. I mean,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: he started us off with Friday, and you know, got
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: excited and got everybody going Cowboys Nation, and then predicted
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a fourteen point loss. So, you know, twenty eight to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: fourteen I think was the pick that I have for him,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and that it looked like at one point that would
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: be about the score. You know. That's the thing about
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's why when you jump out there and say they're
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: going to do this or they're going to do that,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and then and it leaves you to come back in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: week four now and say, no, I was wrong. Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: well maybe you weren't. Maybe you know who knows? Who knows?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Just yet they go up there and handle their business
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: against the Giants and beat a team like that that
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: they should be. I know that they want. I know
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: they have the same record, and they've they've beaten the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: same team. I get it. The Giants have have beaten
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Cleveland on the road, so of the Cowboys, so so
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they're they're pretty much the same when it comes to that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So I you know, I still feel like the Cowboys
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: can go up there and win that game. We'll talk
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: about that then, but but all I'm saying is is
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that that's why you don't need to get go down
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: this road about what they are, what they're not let's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: talk about why they they lost this game against Baltimore.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: That's really kind of where we are living in the moment.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: All right, Travis and san Antonio's next.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Pretty good.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: I'm probably not, uh, probably not as upset as you.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: I assume you might get some calls today, but I'm more,
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: I guess disappointed. And I mean I picked. I actually
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: picked the Ravens to wind yesterday, so it was sort
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: of just part for the course in that respect. And honestly,
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: I know it's for going to the Giants, but I
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: don't really have much of a reason outside of Brandon
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: Aubrey to pick them going in that game. And and honestly,
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: the if I'm the Giants, I know, you know Dan
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Danny Diames is Danny Penny sometimes, But if I'm the
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: Giants and I'm watching that tape, I know I was wrong.
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: I was.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: I'll say that I'm right here on the on my life.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: I was wrong about Bozzie. He hasn't taken them and
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: jump like I thought he would, so I have to
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: wear that. But just as bad as the interior is,
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: which is what everyone's focusing on, the edges were just
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: as bad. If I'm the Giants and Daniel Jones. I'm
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: gonna be testing the edges with those same quarterback runs
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: because we know if he can do one thing, he
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: definitely can run. And why would you not test those
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: edges because are those are some soft edges in that
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: game which is way too easy? It looked like it
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: looked like like a practice rep for Lamar Jackson on
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: the outside. So that was disappointing. I just think, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: guess I'll sum it up like this, as far as
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: the game goes, they I hate to say this, but
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: they just it just seems like they lack discipline, they
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: lack toughness, and they lack leadership. Outside of four, I
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: don't know who else they have. It seems like to
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: me they have a lot more finger pointers than they
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: do galvanizers. Outside of Dak, I don't know who else
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: you can really say as a bona fide like galvanizer
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: of the team. And I think it's just starting to
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: show up. And I had them going seven to ten
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: this year and Rob kind of made a joke. He
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: made a joke I'm on Twitter up yesterday. He goes,
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: maybe you overestimated, and I said, maybe I did, But
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: hopefully I've proven wrong. I hope I am wrong on
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: that one next. But right now, at this point, there's
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: not a whole lot of my optimism bar is pretty low.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: So I just wanted to see what you thought, and again,
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: hope I'm proved wrong on Thursday, but we'll see how
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: it goes.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they don't beat the Giants on Thursday, then
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: then yeah, I mean seven and ten doesn't look good
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: as even like that that's going to happen because you
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: can't beat the Giants. I mean, I mean think about
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: where where I know every season is different, but you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: know you were I think I don't know, thirty five
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: points better than the Giants and two games forty and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: like thirty two or something like that. So if you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if they've closed the gap that much because they're not good,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I mean there's no doubt about it, then they're not
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a good team either. So if that that's happened, then
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that that just kind of goes to show just how
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: far things have fallen. I'm not really there yet to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: say that the Cowboys are not going to win that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: game or get turned around. I think I think one
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: thing that we've seen is matchups matter in the NFL.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: We saw it, and he saw that New Orleans Philly game,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just how Philly played New
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Orleans and how the Cowboys played them, and and I'm
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: pretty sure when the Cowboys play Philly it'll probably be
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a closer game, you know too. So it's it's just
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: kind of all about the styles make fights type thing.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And I think the Giants is they've shown, you know
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that they they don't match up the same as the Cowboys.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And I mean, Dak's what one twelve in a row
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: or something against them. So you know, we'll get to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: that problem on Friday, if that's what we're coming in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: here talking about. But but you're right about running the ball, running,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you know, off the edges, and Daniel Jones can do that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: But again, we'll keep it with with Baltimore, uh, for
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: for now, and because it is a short week before
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: we turn the page. All right, let's go to Tyrone
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania.
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how you're doing I'm a first time storyline caller,
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: but I used to call you a couple of times
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: when you were on the break.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: How you doing it?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Good man? We go, all right, man, Well, how are you?
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: Uh, you know, I'm over here in eastern Pennsylvania, so
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: I kind of deal with the you know, the Eagles
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: fans and the trolls.
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: But yeah, I'm gonna kee. I'm gonna keep this clear
• 8:41
  Speaker 10: and concise. This This team dead said something on Twitter,
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: and you know, I kind of agree with it. I
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: was saying it before, you know, in groups and stuff
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: of that nature. I don't think this scheme fits the players.
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: And one of the things that you have to do
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: as a coaching staff is you have to look at
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: the strengths. And one thing I saw, I knowed you
• 9:00
  Speaker 10: have Trayvon Diggs, one of the best man corners in
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: the league, and on third and seven you play him
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: at depth and it is a routine seven on seven
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: out route for.
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: The game that that that's the game right there. Why
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: maybe they don't trust maybe he doesn't trust his mean,
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: or they don't trust his mean, or they're trying to
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: predict him. The game's over there if he's if he
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: presses and he blows, you know, he blows by him
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: and goes for a sixty yard touchdown, So what game's
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: over anyway? If he completes that and they got pressure slightly,
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: it was there you know that that passed that to me.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: There was a lot of plays that could have won
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: the game. I said they weren't going to win, you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: friends and family and such. I knew just because I
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: don't think Zimmer is the fit coach wise, you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: I don't. I don't know if it's you know, the
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: players aren't getting his scheme or they don't have the
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: tight but Zimmer's got to adjust something and playing Carson's
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: and digs depth it's not working, and you've seen it
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: for the last two games. So I'll hang up.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: I'll listen to you, man. I appreciate everything you do.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Good take, good take, Thanks Tyrone. And you're right, I mean,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He's a great runner. You know, he's a playmaker,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But he's not He's not
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the best passer in the world. We know that. And
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: so I'm with you on that. You know, make him,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: make him make that throw. And if they want to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: do that, if they want to test it on third
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and six and they want to go deep down you
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: know the field, go for it, you know, but I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: with you on that. Seven eight yards you know, wins
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the game for them. And so I would have had
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: him a lot closer to the to the line of
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: scrimmage and and just make him make a play. He
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: maybe doesn't make that throw and then he scrambles around
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and then who knows what what happens there. But yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I disagreed with the coverage on that play. And uh,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I think you're you're you're right, and you know, a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: lot of times you're with these corners. I mean, you're
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you're doing to protect protect them, and of what he's
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you know, good at. I'm not saying he's not one
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: hundred percent or whatever, but most most players with an
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: ACL injury, they don't come back exactly the same. The
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: knee is healthy and ready, but everything mentally and just
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: how much you want to test it and cut on
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it and things like that, it's a little different. And
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: so we'll see moving forward if that's if that's something
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: that he gets a little closer and closer playing his
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: style a little bit. All right, let's go to Bobby
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: in Dallas.
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: Hey, Dick, how are you good?
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: I'm doing all right, I'm doing all right. I'll try
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: to keep it brief. A long time listener, been listening
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: to you guys since the lunch breaks. I really appreciate
• 11:45
  Speaker 11: everything you guys do really quick correct me if I'm wrong.
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: But something that's always done me and I think it
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: particularly came up yesterday is back in twenty sixteen, we
• 11:57
  Speaker 11: actually technically had the opportunity to draft Jalen Ramsey in
• 12:00
  Speaker 11: the first and we could have actually gotten Derrick Henry
• 12:03
  Speaker 11: in the second. And I know that you know you
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: could play that game all day, but I think it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 11: worth raising that because this is the one I feel
• 12:12
  Speaker 11: strongly about to where I really think that Combo would
• 12:15
  Speaker 11: have gotten this or Ring. I think the consistency of
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: having that so that much solid depth and strength in
• 12:23
  Speaker 11: those two positions probably would.
• 12:25
  Speaker 12: Have been enough for DAK.
• 12:27
  Speaker 11: So I'm curious if you agree with that. Obviously, we
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: didn't know what Derek Henry was going to be. I
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: think a lot of people thought who goes the way
• 12:33
  Speaker 11: of Eddie Lacy? And I think he's only gotten better
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: as he's as his kind of time in the league
• 12:37
  Speaker 11: has developed. And then second point, I haven't had a
• 12:41
  Speaker 11: chance to look to forget it's been brought up, but
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: I want to talk about Dak's accuracy for a second.
• 12:46
  Speaker 11: I think it's never been his strength, and I think
• 12:49
  Speaker 11: that's probably the reason he was drafted in the fourth round.
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: I actually think Cooper Rush has a better deep ball,
• 12:56
  Speaker 11: but I.
• 12:56
  Speaker 13: Think I don't know.
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: I'm torn between like saying, you're the highest paid quarterback
• 13:01
  Speaker 11: in the league. You've got to be able to not
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: miss Zeke when he's in the flat, and even some
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: of those catches to Ferguson and and some of the
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: other receivers, they're still behind him. So I'm wondering, like,
• 13:13
  Speaker 11: does Dak just need to get better or does our
• 13:15
  Speaker 11: coaching and our offensive coordinator really just need to scheme
• 13:19
  Speaker 11: for him to bounce outside and make.
• 13:21
  Speaker 14: The short throws.
• 13:21
  Speaker 11: And I really appreciate it. I'll hang up and listen.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. I'm not sure if Bobby is
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the first time caller for the see, but if so,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: go for it. And I know you, Thank you, Chris.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And I know that that he's called before, but I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: don't remember writing that down on my seat here. So anyways,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and good points to twenty sixteen. I mean, yeah, it's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: easy to say that now. There's a lot of factors
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: involved with that, you know, because you were they going
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to take Derrick Henry, you know, in the second I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: mean I think Jerry wanted to take Jalen Smith in
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the second round. I think that he was just hell
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: bent on doing that. So I'm not sure if they
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: would have been gotten him in the second round. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: know he was there, but that doesn't mean that they
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: take him. And you know, like I said, Dak and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Zeke together, you know, maybe Dak doesn't develop like he
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: did without. I mean, they were great for each other
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in their own way. I think so at least, And
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: so it's really hard to go down that road. Yes,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Ramsey great corner, and if Ramsey had the career that
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he had and and Derrick Henry has the career that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: he has, then yeah, the two for one is better
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: than what you probably what you would have had I
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: think with Zeke and and of course Jayaln Smith. But
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you know, you can go down that route in any draft.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the better argument would be why
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: not this year? Though? Why not? You know, why not now?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Why not in the off season? I mean, I think
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I think that argument is is one you could you
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: could definitely talk about, you know, if not him, other
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: running backs that are that were out there it's a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: pretty strong free agent class of running backs this year,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and the Cowboys show to go the rout of Zeke
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: you know, and Royce Freeman and and and not draft
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a running back. So I think that that should be
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: discussed and I and I think that would be fair
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: criticism at this point in the season. I think the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: running game, the lack of running games, is the biggest
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: problem on this team. You can argue all day long
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: about it stopping the run, because that's not that's not
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: better either, but but I think the fact that they
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: can't run the football is still the biggest issue facing
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: this team right now. Dak's accuracy is another part that
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you just talked about Bobby, and that's that's who he is.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: You're right about that fourth round pick, that that's who
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: he is, that's what that's that's how he's always been,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you know. And the deep ball, I've said the same thing.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Cooper Rush, I think there's a better
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: deep ball. That's kind of what he does. I mean,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you could just you could make the argument Jason Garrett
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: throw a better deep ball than Troy Aikman just from
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: lining up throwing a deep ball. There's a lot more
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to the football game playing quarterback than than just that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: So we don't have to get into all that all that,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: but but I think that that you know, there's some
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: passes in the last couple of games, there's passes that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Dak has missed, and and everything that he does now
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: is getting you know, the number sixty gets thrown to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: him every time he does anything. All right, let's go
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to Gavin and Oklahoma City.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick has a gone good?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I've been better? I paid money to get good seats
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: to watch Derek and Ry and Lamar Jackson run all
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: over us. Well, but other than that, I'm good. I'm
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: gonna keep it quick today because I'm in my feelings
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: about the game. Because one thing you could take away
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: from that game to be encouraged by and one thing
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: to be discouraged by. I guess you could find a million,
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: So I guess want to encourage would be better. And
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: then my other question would be do you think this
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: team and these last two losses, And yes, it's just
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: two losses, I understand that has more of a personnel
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: issue for a coaching issue. Yeah, I leave it at that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: I just I just don't see the heart in this team.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: And I know we played two tough teams you can argue,
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: but man, we got to be these better teams. I'm
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking before the season, I wonder how the playoffs
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: are going to go again, and now I'm thinking, like, man,
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: we even gonna make the playoffs.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that's you're right, and that's that's kind
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of where I think this team is. Thank you Gavin
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: for the call. I think that's that's one of the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: things about I know one a callback in training camp
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: about regular season doesn't matter and all that stuff. Well,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: for this team, like it feels it feels like every
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: game is going to be like that, Like like getting
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs is going to be the goal. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: mean it's always the goal. It's always the goal to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: get to the to the to the playoffs. I mean
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you got to get there before you can do anything else.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, you want to the highest seed possible
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and all that. But I think the way it looks
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: right now, I mean after three games, is that they
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: are going to have to scratch and claw for everything
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that they have. I mean they're going to New York
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: this week, you know, in three days of playing a
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Giants team, and I think they're about four point favorites
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to go to go win the game, you know, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that might change, I don't know, but I mean the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Giants obviously think that they can go win the game,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and they probably can that they can based off of
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: where things are right now. I mean to answer your question,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: is it coaches or is it personnel? I mean the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: answer can be both, because the combination of the two.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: The combination of the two is the thing. It's it's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the personnel with these coaches, you know, and and the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: coaches probably want better personnel and maybe the maybe the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: players want better coach. Who knows. But I'm just saying
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. And so you you can't
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: just say, well, just the players, it's not the coach, no,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: because they don't. These guys. I mean, Zimmer, Hey, I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: love the guy, but I mean like he's he's you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: he's had. He's not like the end all be all
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: when it comes to coach. I mean he's had he's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: had good teams, he's had bad teams. He's had that.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Now I think he's had better defenses than he's had
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: bad defenses. But I mean he's been let go of
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: other places. I mean that that that happens. I mean,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: that's my point is that is that you know, it's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: not just mister fix it all the time. And for
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: these players the same thing. You know, look at the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: guys that they're they're playing with. It's not all first
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: round picks here, it's not all second round picks. It's
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: it's guys that nobody wanted for a while, or free
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: agents that were on the street, whatever it is, so
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that they've got to come together. And you know, look
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: like they were doing that at training camp and looked
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: like they did that, you know, for the first game.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: But these these next two games, they've been figured out,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and so we'll see how how things switch if they do.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to David and fort Worth.
• 19:49
  Speaker 15: Hey, how you doing, Nick good?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: How are you doing good?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 19:53
  Speaker 15: I mean, honestly, I'll tell you the truth. Aside from
• 19:58
  Speaker 15: the very first time I ever called the show, my
• 20:01
  Speaker 15: heart really doesn't pound out of my chest. I don't
• 20:03
  Speaker 15: really get nervous to call you anymore. I feel like
• 20:05
  Speaker 15: we're kind of friends, even though we never let But today, man,
• 20:09
  Speaker 15: it's pounding. Man, it's pounding. I feel like it's because
• 20:12
  Speaker 15: I don't know how I feel. I don't know what
• 20:13
  Speaker 15: the feels in a long time since I felt like
• 20:15
  Speaker 15: this about this team. You know me, I try to
• 20:18
  Speaker 15: be pretty optimistic and positive, and I'm gonna have a
• 20:21
  Speaker 15: little bit of positivity in this call and Rob and
• 20:24
  Speaker 15: everybody else. Don't throw don't jump down my throat when
• 20:26
  Speaker 15: I say this, but I'm glad at least in the
• 20:29
  Speaker 15: fourth quarter that Dallas had showed a little bit of
• 20:31
  Speaker 15: fight and they crawled back a little bit. No way,
• 20:34
  Speaker 15: by no means am I saying this is a moral
• 20:37
  Speaker 15: victory or this or that. But I like seeing them
• 20:40
  Speaker 15: arguing on the sideline a little bit. I like seeing
• 20:42
  Speaker 15: them crawl back because I've seen the other side of
• 20:45
  Speaker 15: that story where they just all have kind of that
• 20:47
  Speaker 15: blank stare and they're just shocked, and it kind of
• 20:50
  Speaker 15: seems like they're just like, dang, we kind of lost today.
• 20:52
  Speaker 15: I mean, I liked seeing the fight back because I
• 20:55
  Speaker 15: felt like that's a little bit of what we had with,
• 20:57
  Speaker 15: you know, the Tony Romo days, where I was like,
• 20:59
  Speaker 15: I always felt like we were never out because he
• 21:01
  Speaker 15: was going to continue to fight, he was going to continue.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 21:04
  Speaker 15: I did one of this I wanted to say that
• 21:06
  Speaker 15: I thought it was interesting here and Mica talk about
• 21:08
  Speaker 15: everybody's everybody's trying to be Superman, everybody just needs to
• 21:11
  Speaker 15: do their job, and then hearing Laurence talk about people
• 21:14
  Speaker 15: out there playing like it's Pop Warner, I mean, it
• 21:16
  Speaker 15: seems like people are maybe just reaching too much, trying
• 21:19
  Speaker 15: to trying too hard. And if that's the case, and
• 21:21
  Speaker 15: maybe there can be small little adjustments, adjustments just moral
• 21:25
  Speaker 15: i'm sorry, mental errors that they need to fix, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 15: hopefully that's what it is going forward. I'm not too
• 21:30
  Speaker 15: confident about that, but hopefully that's what it is.
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: My last point is.
• 21:35
  Speaker 15: A lot of people are going to comment about CD
• 21:37
  Speaker 15: and his like antics and his I guess mannerisms on
• 21:41
  Speaker 15: the sideline, and I'm one of those that feels like
• 21:43
  Speaker 15: a little bit I never really wanted to bring it up.
• 21:45
  Speaker 15: I feel little bit uncomfortable and it just kind of
• 21:48
  Speaker 15: upsets me to see him kind of like bounce around
• 21:50
  Speaker 15: and be pouty and stuff. But I want to say
• 21:53
  Speaker 15: that I'm being unfair because I know Dev had antics
• 21:56
  Speaker 15: and sideline rants and I loved that out of death
• 21:59
  Speaker 15: and I don't really know why, So I'll ask you, Nick,
• 22:01
  Speaker 15: and anybody else, why do you think that, you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 15: the optics were just different with Dez. To me, the
• 22:07
  Speaker 15: only thing that I could think about is Dez showed
• 22:10
  Speaker 15: fight on the sideline and frustration, but dev also gotten
• 22:13
  Speaker 15: people's face on the field. He was aggressive and he
• 22:15
  Speaker 15: did that on the field, and I haven't really seen
• 22:17
  Speaker 15: TD do that except for the nose white thing. And
• 22:20
  Speaker 15: you know, he kind of got pumped in the green
• 22:21
  Speaker 15: Bay game. Like maybe that's what it is, but I'm
• 22:23
  Speaker 15: not really sure, Nick, and I apologize. Just call it everywhere, man.
• 22:26
  Speaker 15: But today, man, great day?
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: All right? Well, I mean you know the Cowboys were
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: kind of everywhere yesterday yesterday. I mean you know, they
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: were they showing fight? Were they rolling over? Did they
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: do both? I mean so you know what I mean,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: they were kind of uh schizophrenic yesterday and just the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: way they played the game. Yeah, yeah, the fight part,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he does not. This isn't moral victory
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: type thing at all because they gave up two hundred
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and seventy three yards rushing. So and again, like I said,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: anytime Baltimore wanted to go score and move the ball,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: they did, and so that that there's not a lot
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to feel good about that part. Yeah, would you like
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: to lose twenty eight to six or twenty eight twenty five? Yeah, yeah,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: you want to play well in the fourth quarter and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: come back and give yourself a chance. And they did.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: They third and six, they had a chance. They got
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: off the field. If they get off the field on
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: an incomplete pass, there it's they're going to get the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: ball back with about two twenty to go with a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: timeout and the two point conversion and probably already in
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: field goal range, you know, to tie the game with
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Aubrey I if not better than that. So they were
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: in great position. Shockingly enough. The CD part, you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: he you know, when you put on the eighty eight jersey,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: do you expect that, you know, right, Michael Irvin did
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the same thing as Bryant did the same thing. And
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you know CD, CD gets a pat You're saying CD
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: didn't get a pack. He does. He does. You act
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: like that, and the next week if he goes has
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a huge game, it's all good. I mean, most of
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the way. I've always thought the best way to shut
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: up those guys who want the ball is to give
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: them the ball. I mean, that's that's usually what happens,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and good things happen, it's not I mean, they've earned
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that right. And I'm not saying to show up your
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: quarterback and be a disruption or distraction. But you know,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: they want the football, that they want to go make plays.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: They believe that they could go do that, and you
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: know that they feel like that there's a better way
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to get this thing done and it's not happening, and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of times that they're right. So
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: they do it in different ways, you know, I mean
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: they kind of their body language is different than maybe
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it was before. Today's player is a little different. You
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: see it in Mike, I see it in Digs, you
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: see it in CD. I mean they're all about the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: same age too when you think about it, So it's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a little different type of reaction. It's still a reaction.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: If you did catch CD two hands on the ground,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: like beating the ground after a missed play or something,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: or I guess it was a pass interference call. I mean,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: you know that looked like a five year old actually
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: didn't get his way, but that it was that kind
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: of day. It was that kind of day. Hey CD,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not I don't have a problem with that just
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: they got to figure out a way to throw him
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the football. I mean, that's what they got to do.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: They got to figure out a way to get him involved.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Because of getting him involved helps everybody else make their place.

  Speaker 18: Hi, Nick, How you doing good?
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Good?
• 27:02
  Speaker 18: Nice to talk to you again. I called once. Yeah,
• 27:05
  Speaker 18: last year Darren Woodson was on and I talked about
• 27:08
  Speaker 18: how I knew he would be in the class, and
• 27:12
  Speaker 18: of course a week later he wasn't, So I'm not
• 27:15
  Speaker 18: going to do that again, but I am going Can
• 27:17
  Speaker 18: I deviate and talk about the modern day preliminary list
• 27:21
  Speaker 18: for the twenty five Hall of Fame class. Okay, okay,
• 27:26
  Speaker 18: here we go. This is this is I'm pretty passionate
• 27:28
  Speaker 18: about the nineties and see last year, Mark Stefanowski made
• 27:32
  Speaker 18: the list, as did Moose and Nate Newton. But the
• 27:36
  Speaker 18: latter two are now on the seniors list. And you
• 27:39
  Speaker 18: know how hard it is. It's much much harder to
• 27:42
  Speaker 18: make the Hall of Fame once you get thrown on
• 27:43
  Speaker 18: a senior's pool. It's like old men trying to stay
• 27:47
  Speaker 18: above the water and the deep bank. Terrible analogy. As
• 27:50
  Speaker 18: for Mark, how is it that a second team nineties
• 27:53
  Speaker 18: All Decade member gets overlooked and essentially replaced by guys
• 27:58
  Speaker 18: who weren't nearly as good. My example is Mark Shall
• 28:02
  Speaker 18: r s who made this year's prelims. You know, I
• 28:05
  Speaker 18: bring him up mainly because he played entirely during the
• 28:08
  Speaker 18: same time step did you know no offense? I like
• 28:12
  Speaker 18: rs Or as an analyst, but on the field, Claris
• 28:16
  Speaker 18: would agree he wasn't as good as Stepanowski. Mark had
• 28:21
  Speaker 18: three more Pro Bowls and two All Pro seasons to
• 28:24
  Speaker 18: zero for Schleras But the fact that Step anchored one
• 28:28
  Speaker 18: of the greatest lines, it's not the greatest in NFL history.
• 28:32
  Speaker 18: Two times Super Bowl champion to boot. If we talk
• 28:35
  Speaker 18: about the nineties a decade accolade he has as well.
• 28:39
  Speaker 18: That means one other center during that time period was
• 28:42
  Speaker 18: considered better than Step, and that's DERMONDI Dawson, who is
• 28:46
  Speaker 18: in the Hall of Fame. You know, what are they doing?
• 28:48
  Speaker 18: You can go on a Pro Football Reference and look
• 28:50
  Speaker 18: at steps as wide receivers, running backs, quarterbacks, skill positions,
• 28:55
  Speaker 18: and you can make a case, for the most part
• 28:57
  Speaker 18: for their candidates sea for the Hall of Fame. The
• 29:00
  Speaker 18: lineman fallbacks you can't. You need to watch the film.
• 29:04
  Speaker 18: If you're looking at how many first or second team
• 29:06
  Speaker 18: All Pro a player has, uh, that won't tell you anything.
• 29:11
  Speaker 18: So I just I just don't understand what they're doing.
• 29:14
  Speaker 18: That's why a lot of these guys pass away before
• 29:17
  Speaker 18: they ever get into the Hall of Fame. So now
• 29:19
  Speaker 18: I'm a passionate nineties Cowboys, the current stuff, the current
• 29:23
  Speaker 18: state of affarmance of the Cowboys thirty years. You know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 18: I'm just I'm tired of it, you know. So I'm
• 29:28
  Speaker 18: I'm all focused, focused on the past. I can't help it,
• 29:31
  Speaker 18: but I am.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks Ray, all right eight eight eight five
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: five two two nine seven the number the lines are
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: open right now, you know, I guess you can talk
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: about whatever we need to the Hall of Fame. You
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: know that that's that's a there's twenty something guys on
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: that list for Seniors Committee. I guess you could make
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: an argument all day long about all of all those guys.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I think Darren Woodson obviously would be my choice for
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the first one to get in, but yeah, some of
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: those nineties guys, they you know, they're probably I mean,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I could make the case about Nate Newton, and you
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: can make a case about a lot of those guys,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and so they probably hurt each other sometimes when it
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: comes to the votes, because there's there's a lot that
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: you can pick on those on those lists. All right,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: let's keep this thing going here as we wait for
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: phone calls. Unless, Chris, unless there is a phone call.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Do you have one, Chris, Nope, nope? All right, all right,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: let's let's go back to I'm gonna take a break.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Actually I do, Stephen New York, Steven News Steven, New York.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: All right, Steve, what's up?
• 30:38
  Speaker 13: Hey, what's going on?
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: Down?
• 30:40
  Speaker 13: Like everybody else? But you know, nothing really happened yesterday
• 30:44
  Speaker 13: that surprised me. You knew we couldn't run the ball
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: against this team, and stopping them run was going to
• 30:50
  Speaker 13: be an issue. But something, you know, popped up. And first,
• 30:54
  Speaker 13: let me say that this team showed fight and I
• 30:58
  Speaker 13: have to give them credit for that.
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: And I don't know, but you were you at the game?
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: Were you watching?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Are you talking to me? Steve? Was I at the game?
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I was at the game. Yeah, I was at the game.
• 31:08
  Speaker 13: Okay, because this is to anybody who was like watching.
• 31:12
  Speaker 13: At one point in that game, I thought Fox was
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: going to switch over. This happened like a few years
• 31:17
  Speaker 13: ago with the Remember the Broncos game was like thirty.
• 31:19
  Speaker 14: Or nothing or something.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I thought they were.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Going to switch off the game.
• 31:24
  Speaker 13: This team fought back. They showed me something. But this
• 31:27
  Speaker 13: popped up again, and you know it's going under the radar,
• 31:30
  Speaker 13: But can you tell me why Mike McCarthy went for
• 31:34
  Speaker 13: two on the first touchdown? Does anybody know.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: That he I wasn't in his press conference, I went
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to the locker room, so I wasn't in the press
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: come to what his answer was. I mean, he's done
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff before. And you know, I don't
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: think anyone had a major problem with it at the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: time because it was like twenty eight to twelve, twenty
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to four team, you know you're going to get back
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: in the game. But but but yeah, I mean, I mean, yes,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: it was you know, I write an article on this
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I said that too. Did they go too early?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Because if you looked at it, if you don't do that,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: you know there's a shot that that it's going to
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: be twenty eight to twenty.
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: Right, And I'm listening, right, I know, I'm not saying
• 32:22
  Speaker 13: that they win the game. I know hindsight is well still,
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: it's just at the time I looked at my friends
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: and I'm like, why they you know, why why is
• 32:30
  Speaker 13: he doing that? Because and I think that's the perfect answer.
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: He'll never say it because he never thought they were
• 32:35
  Speaker 13: going to get an on side kick, and then you
• 32:37
  Speaker 13: know everything else that that transpired after that, and rush
• 32:41
  Speaker 13: real quick, I'll ask you this. I know it's you know,
• 32:44
  Speaker 13: the popular answer is the names and who didn't get
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: in free agency but not being able to run the ball.
• 32:52
  Speaker 13: What percentage do you put with the guys back there
• 32:55
  Speaker 13: and the offensive line?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: It's fifty to fifty right down the middle for me
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: right now down the middle. The line's not blocking like
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: they should. The best back in the league, whoever you
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: think the best back is, I don't even know who
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: that is. Jonathan Taylor, b John Robinson's takuon part. I
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: don't know who it is. But I don't think they
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: come in here and just immediately have all this kind
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: of success. Dereck Henry who Because the offensive line is
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: not without some issues. But I do think the running
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the running backs are not hitting the holes as good
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that I'm seeing the hole as good as they need to.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: They're not making tackles, they don't have the juice. So
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: it's both. I mean, it's it's both right now for me.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: As for going for two, I know this. They played
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the Falcons in a game twenty twenty, okay, and they
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: were down I think they were down fifteen, and they
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: scored to make it down nine with like four minutes
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to go, seven minutes to go, something like that, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: they went for two. Try to make it seven and
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: they missed now water railing kick and all this crazy
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: stuff ended up getting the ball winning the game. But
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: you know you can make that argument. I personally, I
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: don't like going for two until you absolutely need to,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: So I probably wouldn't have there. I would have made
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: it twenty eight thirteen yesterday, and then he'd score again
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and it could be twenty eight to twenty. But I'll
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: say this, you still needed a two point conversion at
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: some point. And if you're going to run that rollout
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: short in the field, throw it to the corner and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: hope the pass is perfect and the catch is perfect
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: and the feed are and bound perfectly. If you're gonna
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: run that two point play that doesn't really matter, then
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: you're gonna lose twenty eight twenty six. So it you
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: know you needed a better two point play. I always
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: like to wait a little bit run on going for two,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: But that's that's just me. All right, Let's go to
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Dylan in Northport, Florida.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nix.
• 34:55
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I like the call to go for too early
• 34:57
  Speaker 14: because I like Mike schilosophy on that, the issues and
• 35:00
  Speaker 14: all that, but I like to know, similar to him,
• 35:02
  Speaker 14: what you need early as possible. So you know you
• 35:04
  Speaker 14: need another onside kid or you know, whatever it might be.
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: At some point you can take that action if needed.
• 35:09
  Speaker 14: But I get the other side of that as well.
• 35:12
  Speaker 14: I do have some good news Cowboys when look at
• 35:16
  Speaker 14: their schedule and they just have the two games left against
• 35:19
  Speaker 14: really good rushing teams as being San Francisco in Detroit.
• 35:21
  Speaker 14: I think this game against the Ravens and the game
• 35:24
  Speaker 14: against the Saints, I just think it was two of
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: the you know, the best units in the game potentially
• 35:29
  Speaker 14: as far as running the ball goes against maybe the
• 35:32
  Speaker 14: weakest unit in the NFL and defending the run. I
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: know they won't help them if they get to the
• 35:36
  Speaker 14: playoffs because they'll play you know, good running teams again
• 35:38
  Speaker 14: in the playoffs. But for the regular season, I still
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: see a pass to ten wins. Now, if they go
• 35:45
  Speaker 14: out and lose against the Giants, have saved the white flag.
• 35:47
  Speaker 14: It's over. At that point, I'm giving up on the season.
• 35:50
  Speaker 14: They need both wins against the Giant ban the Commanders
• 35:53
  Speaker 14: to be competitive in the playoff race, So that's a
• 35:56
  Speaker 14: big deal there. And then just real quick about the
• 35:59
  Speaker 14: running backs. We can about running backs all day, but
• 36:01
  Speaker 14: this inside dolling Steam sucks. But what I would like
• 36:04
  Speaker 14: to see happen is and I think they might be
• 36:06
  Speaker 14: going this way just based on what happened in this game.
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: They had a lot of.
• 36:10
  Speaker 14: Hunter Litkey in there in passcro doing kind of the
• 36:13
  Speaker 14: Zeke duties. I'm wondering if potentially we're going to see
• 36:16
  Speaker 14: Zeke take a seat for Cook. I also wouldn't hate
• 36:19
  Speaker 14: seeing Duce take a seat for floor Anda. I bring
• 36:21
  Speaker 14: six receivers, make sure Florna is playing, you know, special
• 36:24
  Speaker 14: teams take up Duce's role there, and then this role
• 36:27
  Speaker 14: with the three running backs, Rico.
• 36:29
  Speaker 10: Lift Key and Cook.
• 36:30
  Speaker 14: Just want to get your thoughts on that.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean they need to thanks for the call, Dylan.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: They they've got to fix this thing, the running back position.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: They got to you know this, this isn't working. What
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: what they've done isn't working. They started Zeke, they didn't
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: really work. They made him the third running back. Nothing,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: nothing really works right now. So so yeah, that we
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: got a serious problem there. And you know you Signedlvin
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Cook for this reason so you can put it so
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: you can put him in there if you need him,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: and you need them, so you need to see what
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: he can do. I'm not saying that he's going to
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: be the answer, because again, he was on the street
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: all summer long, so it doesn't necessarily mean he is
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: he's going to be the reason. But but I do
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: think that you have to try, and this would be
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: a good week to do it. I you know, I've
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: said it before. I think I said it on here.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not a short week for him, so
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: he's fresh. He should be as fresh as he's going
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to be, So for a game like this, why not
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: this would make sense to put him out in this
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: game and try it. Deuce. I just don't understand if
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you're trying to get him involved. He needs the ball
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: in space. You think he's a playmaker, so put him
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: in the situations where he can do it in space.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: And for the life of me, I just understand why
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: they kick the ball to je Ye Thomas. I don't
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: understand jan Ye Thomas as a safety that's returning kicks.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: They're kicking at him. Every time they have turpin on
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: one side. They're not going to kick the turpin. They're
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: going to kick it to the other way. It doesn't
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: matter if they try to switch it. The last second whatever.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: The kickers know how to directional kick and they kick
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: it right at wan Ye Thomas, who is a backup
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: safety who does not return, have the ball in his
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: hands a lot, and he's not doing anything on the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: kick return. And if you want to put, if you
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: think Deuce can do something on defense, then why couldn't
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: he do something in space and kick return. I don't know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that one. All right,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I gotta take a break on last one here on

• 40:02
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: I'm good? You know I was gonna you know, I
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: know the team has a lot of problems other than this,
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: but I felt like in the summer when they had
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: a chance to maybe get Derrick Henry or Barkley, when
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: I saw I was rooting against Philly earlier and saw
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: him break that sixty yarder, and it made me so angry,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: and I thought we'd go into this this season without
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: a running back, and I felt like we were led
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: through everybody to be all excited because we got Zeke
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Elliott back, like, oh now we're going to win a
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: super Bowl. We got Zeke back. It's so frustrating. I
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: feel like when they got beat by Green Bay, all
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: those everybody forgot about all our problems and then we
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: kind of went with a hype, Oh to beat Cleveland,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: and that kind of makes me feel like New Orleans
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: is really when they played Philly, Philly played him and
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: then Derek Carr with who he really is, and Philly
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: just beat New Orleans, just beat Cowboys in Carolina, two
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: crummy teams. We watch what they do the rest of
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: the year, we'll see that's kind of where it is
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: more about the running back. So I just feel like
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: by bringing Zeke back, Jerry Jones tall like, oh now
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: everybody's happy again. We got Zeke.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: And I don't think so. You think I don't think so.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I honestly think Jerry. I think Jerry wanted one of
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: those two guys you just mentioned, Uh, to be honest
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: with you, Yeah, I mean I I that's those are
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: the kind of players Jerry likes to get now, yes,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: he has a you know, he loves Zeke and he
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: always will and all that, but you know, they had
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: to they have a cap situation that is that is
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: it's hard to explain and it's hard to realize, and
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: fans don't even want to hear it because I've been
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: saying it. People have been saying it. But there's a
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people that think, Eh, it's like the NBA,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: you can just kind of fudge the cap whatever you need,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, we'll just push it next year. They've
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: been pushing. They've been pushing, and and they they've they've
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: really they're not in a situation to go and get
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: some of those guys that you wanted. I think that,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: you know, they could have somehow made it work, but
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: it was gonna be really problematic. Next year is gonna
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: be even worse. So they tried to to bargain shop
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: there and then they did bargain shop. They didn't try
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: That's what they That's what they did. But yeah, I mean,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I think I think Cherry obviously wanted guys like that.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's who we tried to get. I'm
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: just saying that that's kind of what he wanted, so
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: it you know, it's a it's a collective decisions on
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: on what they do on the team. And you know,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: it's and and as for the the Saints and the
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Eagles and all that, I mean, like, yeah, I mean,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: and you figured that the Saints weren't going to just be,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: you know, the best team in the league. They they
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: got it going and they what they do certainly hurts
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: what the Cowboys do. Now the Eagles play it differently.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: The Eagles have Eagles look at who they've drafted. I mean,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: they they're getting they're getting these big defensive linemen from Georgia,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: right and they and they're they're dominating the middle, and
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: and the Saints can't go and play that way, so
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: the edges aren't aren't the same. When you can't get
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: anything in the middle, linebackers can run to the edge.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: It's you know, I think I think Philly's defenses is
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: pretty good and and and better equipped to go up
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: against the Saints. So I'm not worried necessarily on how
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: that that that'll be. I mean, the Cowboys and Eagles
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: when they face, it'll be a completely different type of game.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: But but yeah, I mean, I didn't I thought, I
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: thought it was concerning that you lost to the Saints
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: and Derek Carr that way because he is who he is,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: and same with Kamara. And then you know, what goes
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: up comes down, and they'll probably be an above average team,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: maybe better than that, but we'll we'll see how how
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: they how they looked at year nothing against the Saints.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I'm saying it was. It was a it was a
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: concerning loss. Probably you know, a lot more concerning about
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: what happened week two than what happened yesterday in Week three.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: But if you combine them together, now you've got real
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: issues here. All right, Pete in Connecticut.
• 43:54
  Speaker 12: Hey, Nick, how are you today?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Good? How are you doing?
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: Good?
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 43:57
  Speaker 12: I just want to say, I think this team is
• 44:00
  Speaker 12: one of those teams that's gonna pull it together. And
• 44:03
  Speaker 12: I don't think the sky's falling down and everything, and
• 44:06
  Speaker 12: I believe that the team's going to come together and
• 44:09
  Speaker 12: our fans shouldn't worry until we're about six losses this season.
• 44:13
  Speaker 12: I think we're going to end up with five losses
• 44:15
  Speaker 12: in total, but I think our defense will figure it out,
• 44:18
  Speaker 12: and Deck and CD need to just work a little
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: bit more because a lot of guys got to think.
• 44:23
  Speaker 12: We haven't none of these guys playing the preseason, and
• 44:26
  Speaker 12: I think, you know, it's starting to show that they
• 44:29
  Speaker 12: need to play a driver to at least in the
• 44:31
  Speaker 12: final two preseason games. All righty, thank you for taking
• 44:35
  Speaker 12: my call.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I thought about that actually driving in today,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought the same thing about I wonder
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: if we're going to get to the point where coaches
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: or are going to kind of push back and say,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: you know, we we these guys have to play, so,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and and it's hard to make that argument
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: if if like last year, you know, the first game
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: of the season against the Giant forty to nothing, looks
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: like the defense was fine, looks like the offense they
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: did what they needed to do and scored it off
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: and Cleveland this year, you know, defense looked fine, you know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: not playing. So but I get your point, and that
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: all sounds great until that number two receiver or they're
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: running back or your offensive tackle you know, has a
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: high ankle spring or torn acl and you know you're like,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: why was he even in the game, And you know
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen. So you can't have it both ways.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: And we've been there, all right, But I like the
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: optimism about that they're going to figure it out. Five
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: losses sounds really good at this point with with when
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: you already have two at home, when you're zero and
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: two at home, yeah, you know, I mean that's what
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: they won sixteen in a row or something like that
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: at home and then now and then they lost three
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: straight at a C and C stadium. All right, Erwin
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: and Denver.
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: Hey, Mick, what's going on?
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Are you.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: Could be better?
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: I just you know, you know, when you watch these
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: kind of games, it's like taking a cold, old bitter
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: drink of coffees. You just spit out of your mouth.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: It's the safe stuff. Every week when they're playing good teams,
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: they just can't seem to beat the good teams. They
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: do good enough to beat them, like the Giants and
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: the Redskins, and they get enough good, good enough record
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: to get into the playoffs, and we all know how
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: that's been ending, and then they end up picking in
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: the late twenties. It's every year. It's the safe stuff.
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: I just want to get your thoughts and what do
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: you think about them?
• 46:42
  Speaker 13: Go on?
• 46:42
  Speaker 8: With the young innovative coaching staff, it just seems very
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: old and just out of touch with the with the
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: schemes of today, and I'll let you go. Thanks for
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: taking my call.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you? Yeah, I mean you can say
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: that and then all so, but like it'd be one
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: thing if you're just getting you know, torched around with
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: these new innovative offenses. But it's the running game. It's
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: it's like running you know, off tackle and right up
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: the middle. So like, yeah, you can say these new
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: offenses are crushing them, but what really what has done?
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: What has these two teams done in the last weeks.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: That's like so different and new, that's changed everything. You know,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: it can't stop like off tackle and and pitch left.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I mean seriously, that's that's what I get your point,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: and you may not be wrong, but right now what
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing is basic stuff that they just can't stop.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: That's what's scary to me. We got to keep it going.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas, Rob, this can't be a normal Rob
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: call because we got to be quick. Rob, what's up?
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: You got it? This is all due to the front
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: office dysfunction. You got a substitute teacher as a head coach.
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: You know what happened when you had a substitute teacher
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: in school. Uh, the place that get crazy. You invest
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: two hundred and forty million dollars in a quarterback and
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: then you surround him with nothing, a rookie left tackle
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: who's learning on the job, running backs that wouldn't start
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: on any team. You got a defense that so often
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: you allowed your defensive vent Michael Parsons to play at
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: two forty instead of saying, yo, you need to get
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: up to at least to sixty five because that that
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: crap that he's going to move around. Now he's ninety
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: percent at defensive event. And and then you got your
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: thirty four million dollar wide receiver act like a big
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: baby like you said on the sideline, because I.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Didn't say that, well, I did say that, yeah, it
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: was a child. I did actually say that. He's acting
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: like a little kid. Yeah, just with that. But you
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm fine with him. If he wants candy,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: give him candy, because he's pretty good.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: At well, you can't you can't act like that.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: You can't act like that. You can't act like that.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: But but he his frustration is warranted because he needs
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: the football. But part of it's on him as well.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not. I'm not at all.
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: And you can't fix this. You cannot fix this is culture,
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: this is will. You cannot fix that. You cannot make
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: this team a better run stopper because they don't have
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: the will to do it. They don't enjoy it. You
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: can't fix Mica being at two hundred and forty pounds
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: where they just allow him to do whatever he wants. No,
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: he should have been heavier. Dak you knew he needs helpy.
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: Dak is not great, He's very good. He's not Mahomes.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: You knew he needs a running game. He plays better
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: with that. They didn't do any of it.
• 49:36
  Speaker 15: Now.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's because Jerry said, you know what,
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: I'm paying you to highest, I'm paying you to highest.
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: Figure it out. I don't know, but it's just dysfunctioning.
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: Do I think they'll beat the Giants?
• 49:47
  Speaker 14: Yeah?
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: Probably, But I said it. If you can't beat good teams,
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: you're going to probably end up with eight losses. You're
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: not going anywhere because teams would be stupid to throw
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: the ball. Even the Colla said Dandrel Jones should play
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: running backs this week. You held Lamar Jackson, I don't
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: think that best tight end how to catch. I think
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: he's through the ball, okay, but now they don't have
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: the will on defense and the offensive line. Jack Martin
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: isn't playing good at all. Steel's been horrible. Bebe's the
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: best one, him and Tyler Smith. Guyton, you know he's
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: a left tacker. We talked about it. He's going to struggle,
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: and that's what I didn't understand. The most important guy
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: on the offensive line, with a sixty million dollars a
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: year quarterback. The team is just built bad. Unfortunately, I
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: don't think you'll fix it this year. They'll blow it up,
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: bringing a head coach and we're gonna have to start.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: All over.
• 50:46
  Speaker 15: All.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Right, too much to discuss on that, so I'll just
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: leave it at that. We'll we'll hit hit back later
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: and talk. I'm sure I've heard all those points before
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: by Rob, so I'm sure he'll say him again. All right.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: For everybody that's called in a good show, thanks for
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: keeping it clean, even though I'm sure your frustrations wanted
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: you to say other things. I hear it, and I
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll be back tomorrow. It'll be our last
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: show really before we go to New York. So we'll
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: still talk about the Ravens, but we'll try to shift
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: forward and talk about the Giants as well. All Right,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: for Chris Beam, I'm Nick Keatman. We'll see you tomorrow on
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Cowboys storyline.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
