- 0:02Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 0:05Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:17Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Here's Nick Eatman, what's up?
- 0:26Speaker 3: Welcome to Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette.
- 0:29Speaker 2: I am Nick Eatman.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Let's talk to some Cowboys football four games and never
- 0:36Speaker 3: said this before.
- 0:37Speaker 2: They are one two and one.
- 0:39Speaker 3: First tie that we've seen for the Dallas I've not
- 0:44Speaker 3: seen this, but the Cowboys have seen it since nineteen
- 0:47Speaker 3: sixty nine. So many people that have covered this team
- 0:51Speaker 3: for a long long time, others that have been here
- 0:55Speaker 3: longer than me, still have never seen a tie. So
- 0:57Speaker 3: we saw history, not we wanted to. Cowboys forty, Packers
- 1:03Speaker 3: forty last Sunday, and now we'll see how they respond
- 1:07Speaker 3: with two road games in a row, starting this week
- 1:09Speaker 3: against the New York Jets, who are rowing four, so
- 1:13Speaker 3: we'll see if the Cowboys can can take advantage of that.
- 1:17Speaker 3: They may be the best doing four team I've seen.
- 1:19Speaker 3: They've got some really good players and a head coach
- 1:22Speaker 3: that's that's eager to get his first win.
- 1:25Speaker 2: We know him well. Aaron Glenn.
- 1:27Speaker 3: So well, we'll talk about that and the Jets, and
- 1:30Speaker 3: we'll go back to the Packers and all that more.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven
- 1:34Speaker 3: is the number to call. Let's get it started. Rosa
- 1:37Speaker 3: is in Virginia. Raza, what's up?
- 1:39Speaker 4: Hey?
- 1:39Speaker 5: What's up?
- 1:40Speaker 6: Nick?
- 1:40Speaker 2: How are you doing well?
- 1:42Speaker 7: Good?
- 1:42Speaker 8: Good?
- 1:43Speaker 9: So?
- 1:43Speaker 4: I called last week and I said the trade hurt me. So,
- 1:48Speaker 4: I mean, I think this was great closure on the trade.
- 1:50Speaker 4: I'm done talking about Mica now. We handled him well,
- 1:53Speaker 4: especially Dak. I think Dak played a great, magnificent game.
- 1:56Speaker 4: That's part of the best I've seen him play. And
- 1:59Speaker 4: really excited about our offense. And I know we have
- 2:01Speaker 4: to keep it quick today. So I just want to say,
- 2:04Speaker 4: I know we have some people that should be returning,
- 2:07Speaker 4: maybe for the practice window. Well, any of them you
- 2:10Speaker 4: pick suit up this week? And that's my question.
- 2:12Speaker 10: Thank you?
- 2:13Speaker 3: All right, you have the list here, Thanks for the call.
- 2:16Speaker 3: I have a list of the of the injured players,
- 2:19Speaker 3: you know, of all the guys that could return from
- 2:22Speaker 3: the I R and PUP and non football injuries all that,
- 2:28Speaker 3: the guy that I would imagine has the best chance
- 2:30Speaker 3: would be Mingo with CD's injury. I still don't think
- 2:34Speaker 3: CD returns this week. Mingo would be one where I
- 2:38Speaker 3: could see him coming back and maybe the windows starting
- 2:41Speaker 3: and maybe him playing. Some of the other guys, Savannah Ravel,
- 2:47Speaker 3: Peyton Turner, Phil Maffa, Kaylin Carson, Josh Butler, they're all
- 2:52Speaker 3: eligible to return. I don't see really any of them
- 2:55Speaker 3: playing in the game. They could start. I mean, for Revel,
- 2:57Speaker 3: he needs to start practicing. Hasn't played since Week three
- 3:01Speaker 3: of last season at East East Carolina, so he needs
- 3:05Speaker 3: to play and or at least start practicing in the NFL.
- 3:09Speaker 3: So I would imagine those guys the window could start,
- 3:12Speaker 3: the twenty one day window. That doesn't mean that they're
- 3:14Speaker 3: going to be ready to play. Let's go to Lester
- 3:17Speaker 3: in Lakeville, Minnesota, Leicester.
- 3:19Speaker 2: What's up?
- 3:21Speaker 11: Good morning, Nick?
- 3:22Speaker 2: How are you doing?
- 3:25Speaker 11: I'm doing well. How are you?
- 3:26Speaker 2: Let's go?
- 3:26Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 3:27Speaker 2: Good?
- 3:28Speaker 11: Hey, I want to I couldn't get in yesterday. I
- 3:32Speaker 11: wanted to put a little analogy on the tie. I mean,
- 3:38Speaker 11: the tie is a good thing because it counts for
- 3:42Speaker 11: half of a win, which means if we've become ten
- 3:46Speaker 11: six and one, we are in front of all ten
- 3:49Speaker 11: and seventeens. So you know, the highest to be a
- 3:54Speaker 11: good thing as a half win and a half lost.
- 3:56Speaker 11: I also want to make a comment about the coaching.
- 3:59Speaker 11: I thought shot and hire and called an excellent game.
- 4:02Speaker 11: I love the timeouts in certain situations. I also saw
- 4:07Speaker 11: I don't know his name, but our new nickel corner.
- 4:10Speaker 11: I saw him communicating with the secondary and in the
- 4:16Speaker 11: third and the fourth quarter because they weren't lined up
- 4:18Speaker 11: right or something. I love that the communication was good.
- 4:22Speaker 11: And I think that, you know, we played a really
- 4:26Speaker 11: good game. I mean, of course, and end in the tide.
- 4:28Speaker 11: But remember it's a half win as well. Yeah, so
- 4:33Speaker 11: it's okay, all right, go Cowboys, all.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Right, lest good stuff. You know, that's a glass half
- 4:39Speaker 3: full approach to it. You're you're exactly right. If you're
- 4:42Speaker 3: ten to six and one, you're going to be ahead
- 4:45Speaker 3: of all the ten and seven teams that are there.
- 4:47Speaker 3: And if you're nine to seven and one, then you're
- 4:50Speaker 3: behind all the ten and seventeen. So it just depends
- 4:53Speaker 3: on where you think things they're going to stack up.
- 4:55Speaker 3: But I'll tell you this that right now, this is
- 4:57Speaker 3: where the Cowboys have to turn the corner right now
- 5:01Speaker 3: at the Jets. They haven't won a game at the Panthers.
- 5:03Speaker 3: There there's still the Panthers, Washington at home. Yeah, you
- 5:06Speaker 3: better beat them. Better beat Washington. You were better than
- 5:09Speaker 3: them in the two games you played in last year.
- 5:11Speaker 3: There's no reason why you can't beat Washington at home
- 5:14Speaker 3: at Denver. Sounds pretty tough, but you know it's a game.
- 5:17Speaker 3: They got to go out there and and win. I
- 5:19Speaker 3: mean Arizona at home at the Raiders that you know
- 5:24Speaker 3: with a buy mixed in there. Those are the games.
- 5:26Speaker 3: And this is the time right here where the Cowboys
- 5:28Speaker 3: are going to have to turn if they're going to
- 5:29Speaker 3: be a nine to win, ten win, whatever win team
- 5:32Speaker 3: that competes for the playoffs has got to start right now,
- 5:35Speaker 3: all right. Brian in Kansas City's next.
- 5:37Speaker 12: Good morning, sir, morning. Hey, I was thinking about, you know,
- 5:41Speaker 12: players that have been on both teams. Huh, So I
- 5:44Speaker 12: thought my question this morning i'd be, would be do
- 5:47Speaker 12: you have any stories about any Testaverdy.
- 5:50Speaker 13: I don't think he's.
- 5:51Speaker 12: Anybody I've ever asked about before, and obviously he's played
- 5:53Speaker 12: for both, So figure out maybe you got a any
- 5:56Speaker 12: Testaverdy story. I'll hang up and list them.
- 5:58Speaker 14: Man.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Thanks, Well, you know n testa Verty was the quarterback
- 6:01Speaker 3: when when when Quincy got cut, uh in two thousand
- 6:04Speaker 3: and four, you know, it was it was mainly because
- 6:07Speaker 3: I think Parcels knew that that he had a quarterback
- 6:10Speaker 3: that he trusted and he could rely on in Vinnie Testaverdi.
- 6:13Speaker 3: The thing about Vinnie that I remember is that he
- 6:16Speaker 3: was a pros pro. I mean like he stood in
- 6:21Speaker 3: front of his locker and talked to any reporter that
- 6:25Speaker 3: that that would come by. And he wouldn't just do
- 6:27Speaker 3: it like one day a week like some of the others.
- 6:31Speaker 3: He did it every day. And not only did he
- 6:33Speaker 3: do it for every single day like Monday and then
- 6:36Speaker 3: of course Wednesday, Thursday and then Friday, but he would
- 6:39Speaker 3: stand there the entire time and like different guys would
- 6:41Speaker 3: come in and probably ask the same questions he stood there.
- 6:45Speaker 3: He was a classy, classy guy is a classy guy,
- 6:49Speaker 3: and and I just I just remember thinking, like, man,
- 6:51Speaker 3: that's what a quarterback should be, you know. And at
- 6:54Speaker 3: this point in his career, you know, he was still
- 6:56Speaker 3: pretty good. He could sling it, but you know, and
- 6:58Speaker 3: he had a nice season and oh where they weren't
- 7:00Speaker 3: a good team, but he put up some yards but
- 7:02Speaker 3: I just remember him and just just for being the
- 7:05Speaker 3: starting quarterback of the Cowboys. But he's stood in there
- 7:08Speaker 3: and it was a tough year too, you know, and
- 7:10Speaker 3: losing games and he sit there and ask answer all
- 7:13Speaker 3: these questions. That's just one thing I remember about him.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Just really really classic guy for sure. All right, let's
- 7:19Speaker 3: go to our next caller is Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
- 7:25Speaker 11: What's going on?
- 7:25Speaker 15: What's going on?
- 7:26Speaker 2: Are you doing?
- 7:28Speaker 10: Not much?
- 7:28Speaker 15: Man? I'm gonna just make a statement, you know, I
- 7:31Speaker 15: gotta be quick today. But I was thinking about it
- 7:33Speaker 15: after I got off the phone with you yesterday. I
- 7:35Speaker 15: was kind of hard on him last.
- 7:36Speaker 16: Week, and you said it.
- 7:37Speaker 15: I went back and listened to it at the end
- 7:38Speaker 15: of the podcast. At the end of the show, I
- 7:41Speaker 15: got to give Jaalen Tobert. I got to give him
- 7:43Speaker 15: some flowers.
- 7:44Speaker 16: That man played hard the other day.
- 7:46Speaker 15: He made some crucial catches, so I wanted to give
- 7:48Speaker 15: him a shout out for that because I was hard
- 7:50Speaker 15: on him the week before. So I'll leave it at
- 7:52Speaker 15: day and I'll come back later on so I can
- 7:54Speaker 15: let somebody else in.
- 7:55Speaker 2: All right, I appreciate that in a lot of ways.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Number One, thanks for being quick in and out to also,
- 8:01Speaker 3: you know that that's what we all do. You know,
- 8:03Speaker 3: at times, you know, we have an opinion, and I
- 8:05Speaker 3: like that, Hey, this guy needs to step up, or
- 8:07Speaker 3: this guy's not not playing well, or this guy is
- 8:09Speaker 3: playing well. And then and I'm not saying you're wrong, okay,
- 8:12Speaker 3: because he isn't. He's not setting the world on fire,
- 8:15Speaker 3: but he's he just did he Tolbert just gets more
- 8:18Speaker 3: hate than I think, I mean, for what he is.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Just know what he is. He's not making a lot
- 8:22Speaker 3: of money. I think I know what the problem is
- 8:25Speaker 3: with Tolbert. I really believe if Jalen Tolbert wore number
- 8:29Speaker 3: sixteen and just kind of did his thing whatever, everyone
- 8:33Speaker 3: would be fine. But you wear number one, you better
- 8:36Speaker 3: be a baller. And now that was a baller catch
- 8:39Speaker 3: that he made, There's no doubt about it. But I
- 8:42Speaker 3: think when you wear number one, it's like, all right,
- 8:45Speaker 3: this is a different expectation for him. But you keep
- 8:48Speaker 3: making plays like that and making the most of the opportunities,
- 8:51Speaker 3: and I think I think people are going to be
- 8:53Speaker 3: just fine with Tolbert.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Let's go one more question before we go to break.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Jeremy and d C is next.
- 8:58Speaker 16: Hey, nobody to do no, no.
- 9:02Speaker 11: All right, man.
- 9:03Speaker 16: Yeah, yesterday before I went off, I wanted to get
- 9:06Speaker 16: my man tiptoe tob but from Love too. But I
- 9:09Speaker 16: had to get off the line. I didn't want to
- 9:11Speaker 16: hold up everybody too late, you know what I'm saying.
- 9:13Speaker 16: And then I want to say today, man, it looked
- 9:17Speaker 16: like we know what we're doing when we get these
- 9:19Speaker 16: players from the USL. Man, it's about to be a
- 9:22Speaker 16: three for three, ain't it? With the defensive lineman. Then
- 9:25Speaker 16: we got turping and then the kicker.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, yeah.
- 9:29Speaker 3: You know there's been some others. There's been others that
- 9:33Speaker 3: that didn't make it. You know, there was a linebacker
- 9:36Speaker 3: I cannot remember his name, but there was a linebacker
- 9:38Speaker 3: last year.
- 9:38Speaker 16: That but he was pretty good though. Man, I couldn't
- 9:41Speaker 16: understand why we got rid of him. I thought he
- 9:43Speaker 16: was pretty good in the preseason.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Yeah, but he got caught and no one ever signed him.
- 9:47Speaker 15: So h yeah, I did have another question, but I
- 9:53Speaker 15: was I know, I had to be quick, so it
- 9:55Speaker 15: just flipped my mind.
- 9:56Speaker 16: But I just talked to you, to my.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Nick all right, all right, all right, man, all right,
- 10:01Speaker 3: thanks Jeremy. Chris got these guys whipped into shape so
- 10:04Speaker 3: much they're forgetting what they're saying. Let's go one more question, actually,
- 10:08Speaker 3: Sergeant sueing for worth.
- 10:10Speaker 2: What's up? Man, hey, Nick?
- 10:13Speaker 17: Can hear me?
- 10:14Speaker 2: Yeah? How you doing?
- 10:15Speaker 15: And doing well?
- 10:16Speaker 16: Man?
- 10:16Speaker 5: Hey?
- 10:17Speaker 17: The two You know, the basic responsibilities of a linebacker
- 10:19Speaker 17: man is to read the flow of the offensive line,
- 10:22Speaker 17: read your keys, and filling gaps. And if you have
- 10:24Speaker 17: veteran linebackers that are doing that, you know on paper
- 10:27Speaker 17: at least know how to do that on film. I
- 10:28Speaker 17: can understand why the defensive coordinators and the coaches are
- 10:31Speaker 17: going with guys like Samborne over young guys who maybe
- 10:34Speaker 17: aren't reading their keys right or maybe filling in the
- 10:36Speaker 17: wrong holes. The problem is they're both leaving holes open.
- 10:40Speaker 17: One maybe he's reading the wrong keys and filling in
- 10:43Speaker 17: the wrong hole. The other one is reading the right
- 10:46Speaker 17: keys but just not fast enough to fill in the hole.
- 10:48Speaker 17: So my thing is I would go with the younger,
- 10:51Speaker 17: younger guys who like, if they're feeling in the wrong hole,
- 10:54Speaker 17: filling in the wrong gaps, leaving holes for the running back,
- 10:56Speaker 17: they at least have the speed to compensate and try
- 10:58Speaker 17: to make up for those efficiencies. Whereas our linebackers right
- 11:01Speaker 17: now are reading the right stuff, they're just too slow
- 11:03Speaker 17: to make it there. So that's where I'm at right
- 11:05Speaker 17: now with the linebacker room. But I try to do
- 11:06Speaker 17: really really quick. What's your take on that, man.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Yeah, you know's that's a good point.
- 11:11Speaker 3: I've thought after four games, I thought Murray and Samborne
- 11:14Speaker 3: would be faster. I thought they'd be a little bit
- 11:16Speaker 3: more physical, and I think it's just been disappointing because
- 11:21Speaker 3: it's everything that they're not. You know, it's receivers down
- 11:24Speaker 3: the field, tight ends down the field, it's missing some
- 11:26Speaker 3: tackles in space, like you said, it's being in the
- 11:29Speaker 3: wrong gap. And so now lea foul was out there.
- 11:34Speaker 3: You know, he's physical, but you know at times and
- 11:36Speaker 3: he kind of flies around. But he'll miss some plays too.
- 11:38Speaker 3: And we'll see about Shamar James. I didn't get a
- 11:41Speaker 3: lot of a good take on him, but you know,
- 11:45Speaker 3: he played some and they had him out there in
- 11:47Speaker 3: key moments.
- 11:47Speaker 2: I know that.
- 11:48Speaker 3: So I just think that they're trying to figure their
- 11:50Speaker 3: their way. I think Samborne's play is surprised them. Murray's
- 11:54Speaker 3: plays surprise them every now and again. You know they'll
- 11:56Speaker 3: get in there and make a play. Sanborne will get
- 11:59Speaker 3: like ten to eleven tackles, but it's not enough and
- 12:03Speaker 3: it's not the right ones, it seems like. So all
- 12:06Speaker 3: in all, it hasn't been great. Now now they are,
- 12:10Speaker 3: you know, I would say stop of the run. Jacobs
- 12:13Speaker 3: did a really nice job in that game. He was
- 12:15Speaker 3: a difference maker both catching the ball and running. But
- 12:18Speaker 3: you know, they've they've been, they've been.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Okay.
- 12:21Speaker 3: I just thought those two guys, those two veterans, would
- 12:23Speaker 3: have been a lot better.
- 12:24Speaker 2: But that's not what it is right now.
- 12:26Speaker 3: But we'll see if they do make some changes in boy,
- 12:29Speaker 3: I'm overshown can't get here fast enough. Let's go to
- 12:32Speaker 3: take our first break here on Cowboys storyline. I'll be
- 12:34Speaker 3: right back after this.

- 14:13Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 14:18Speaker 3: What's up, Welcome back to Cowboys storyline. I'm Nick Eatman
- 14:21Speaker 3: and we are rolling here talking about Cowboys Packers. Haven't
- 14:25Speaker 3: really shifted yet to the Cowboys Jets. We're still you know,
- 14:29Speaker 3: when it's a forty forty game, you know it's something
- 14:31Speaker 3: we've never seen before. Forty forty tie. The NFL's never
- 14:35Speaker 3: seen that score before. Yeah, we still talk about it.
- 14:39Speaker 3: There's a lot a lot of guys that didn't get
- 14:41Speaker 3: in on the Monday after the show. So let's see
- 14:43Speaker 3: if let's see what they have to say about that game.
- 14:46Speaker 3: That'll be a game we're talking about for a long time,
- 14:48Speaker 3: so feel free to still weigh in on it. Let's
- 14:51Speaker 3: go to Josh in Chicago. He's next, Josh.
- 14:55Speaker 19: Hey, Nick got a point and then I questioned real quick. Okay,
- 14:57Speaker 19: So the point I have is, know, I'm looking at
- 15:00Speaker 19: this team and we're still kind of figuring out the
- 15:02Speaker 19: league and figuring out what this team really is. Score
- 15:03Speaker 19: games in and they've played supposedly two good teams from
- 15:06Speaker 19: two bad teams. I'm using some air quotes on that.
- 15:09Speaker 19: I concerned with them. With the Cowboys is do they
- 15:11Speaker 19: play their competition? And that's what I'm concerned about the
- 15:15Speaker 19: Jets coming up. They're going to be a challenge, but
- 15:17Speaker 19: they're beatable team and we should win this game decisively.
- 15:19Speaker 19: I watched a lot of that game last night. They
- 15:21Speaker 19: make the Jets make a lot of mistake so they
- 15:24Speaker 19: blow a lot of their assignments. So the Cowboys need
- 15:26Speaker 19: to get ahead of this.
- 15:27Speaker 20: And win this.
- 15:28Speaker 19: Yeah, and then my question for you, and I'll take
- 15:30Speaker 19: it off the air, but Josh Rodriguez was saying, I'm
- 15:33Speaker 19: talking Cowboys that you love those concussion helmets. Why is
- 15:36Speaker 19: that they look? Goofy man? And I'll talk take that
- 15:38Speaker 19: off the air.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Okay, you know they they they obviously are there for
- 15:47Speaker 3: a reason, you know, And I think they look ridiculous.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 15:51Speaker 3: I don't think he said that correctly. Obviously he's messing around,
- 15:57Speaker 3: but no, they're ridiculous looking. And uh, I just think
- 16:01Speaker 3: for the league, I mean, I understand that safety is
- 16:04Speaker 3: a is a big deal for them, except for having
- 16:07Speaker 3: to play guys teams on Thursday night every week, But
- 16:09Speaker 3: I think for the most part. You know, safety is
- 16:12Speaker 3: a priority when it doesn't affect the money, and I
- 16:16Speaker 3: think that they got to figure out a way to
- 16:18Speaker 3: make that look different and better than that. That looks ridiculous,
- 16:21Speaker 3: especially on receivers who's got small shoulder pads and then
- 16:24Speaker 3: just like an astronaut looking things. So but they couldn't
- 16:30Speaker 3: stop him, you know, it didn't matter. It was obviously
- 16:33Speaker 3: wasn't weighing him down. He was making plays.
- 16:36Speaker 2: And then yeah, the.
- 16:37Speaker 3: Jets, the Jets look they like the best one to
- 16:40Speaker 3: four team I've ever seen. I mean, they got a
- 16:41Speaker 3: quarterback that scares you when he's running. They got a
- 16:44Speaker 3: running back that was really good. They got one of
- 16:47Speaker 3: the top ten receivers in the league, I think, and
- 16:49Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson. They got a top two or three defensive
- 16:52Speaker 3: tackle in the league, and Quinn Williams. I think Sauce
- 16:55Speaker 3: Gardner's probably the best, if not top two or three,
- 16:59Speaker 3: and he's not the best search Hans for the best.
- 17:01Speaker 3: We see him later, but top top three probably corner.
- 17:04Speaker 3: So they got great skilled players, but they haven't pulled
- 17:09Speaker 3: put it together yet for a win. But we've seen
- 17:12Speaker 3: the Copys go up there and play the Jets team
- 17:13Speaker 3: before that. Did you know twenty nineteen they weren't playing
- 17:16Speaker 3: that great and they come and they beat them. So
- 17:19Speaker 3: it's not going to be an easy game for sure.
- 17:20Speaker 3: Sebastian and Savannah Georgia's.
- 17:22Speaker 21: Next, Good morning, sir, I'm doing well. How about yourself?
- 17:25Speaker 2: Great? Great? Great.
- 17:27Speaker 21: I'm gonna get right to the thirty second starter report.
- 17:29Speaker 21: This is a bad matchup, mister Evens. They're coming in
- 17:32Speaker 21: really desperate. They've had a very rough schedule. You're talking
- 17:35Speaker 21: about Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, then Miami. They've played every game.
- 17:41Speaker 20: To a score.
- 17:43Speaker 21: So this is my score prediction for this game. Obviously,
- 17:45Speaker 21: you just mentioned everything that they have on offensive defense.
- 17:48Speaker 21: Thirty five thirty four. I think out of desperation, somebody
- 17:50Speaker 21: goes for a two point conversion and ends up losing
- 17:53Speaker 21: the game because of it. One thing that we can
- 17:55Speaker 21: do to help ourselves compleat is lean heavy on the
- 17:58Speaker 21: run game.
- 17:58Speaker 5: The only thing.
- 18:02Speaker 21: Crime management to help your defense out. Have you on
- 18:04Speaker 21: that run game every day?
- 18:06Speaker 2: All right?
- 18:09Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean they're when you're rowing four, I
- 18:11Speaker 3: mean you're obviously doing some things and penalties or I
- 18:14Speaker 3: think hurting the Jets. I haven't really done a deep
- 18:16Speaker 3: dive into them just yet. I just watched some of
- 18:18Speaker 3: the game Monday night, and and they look really talented,
- 18:22Speaker 3: you know, they they've they've got a talented group, but
- 18:24Speaker 3: they're still trying to put it together. But say the
- 18:27Speaker 3: same about the Cowboys. You know, they're talented group too.
- 18:29Speaker 3: They got a lot of really good players. I mean,
- 18:31Speaker 3: I would imagine teams look at the Cowboys sort of
- 18:33Speaker 3: that that way too, Like, well, you know, they got Dak.
- 18:35Speaker 3: He can be pretty good at CD when he's healthy.
- 18:38Speaker 3: He's not gonna be this game. Probably pickings. The running
- 18:41Speaker 3: game looks pretty solid. I guess that's where it ends.
- 18:45Speaker 9: Uh.
- 18:45Speaker 3: Defense just hasn't hasn't pulled, you know, done their their
- 18:49Speaker 3: part just yet. But kicking game, Uh, special teams, you know,
- 18:53Speaker 3: Cowboys definitely have advantages there. But yeah, this is gonna
- 18:57Speaker 3: be one of those games. And it comes down to
- 18:58Speaker 3: a couple of weird plays, sometimes early in the game,
- 19:00Speaker 3: sometimes later. All right, let's go to Zach in Atlanta.
- 19:05Speaker 13: What's up?
- 19:05Speaker 1: Nick?
- 19:05Speaker 9: And Frisco?
- 19:06Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 19:09Speaker 9: Man? I'm okay, you win some, you lose some, and
- 19:12Speaker 9: apparently you tie some. Am I right?
- 19:14Speaker 1: Yeah, just goofy.
- 19:17Speaker 9: I think that game versus the Packers ending in a
- 19:20Speaker 9: forty forty tie is a microcosm of the Micah trade,
- 19:25Speaker 9: Like there's positivety take away this negatives. Ye, Micah got
- 19:30Speaker 9: a quote unquote sack for zero yards, Like what's that about?
- 19:34Speaker 20: It?
- 19:35Speaker 9: Just it feels dead even right now as far as
- 19:37Speaker 9: the trade goes, and I feel like the game was
- 19:40Speaker 9: a reflection of that. It's volatile, crazy, but you're just
- 19:44Speaker 9: feeling like, eh, I don't really know how to feel
- 19:46Speaker 9: about this exactly, and so fun game regardless. I know
- 19:52Speaker 9: you wrote about this, but I don't think it's come
- 19:54Speaker 9: up on the show yet. That blocked extra point for
- 19:59Speaker 9: two points the other way flip the game for me.
- 20:02Speaker 9: And then right after that, you had the Leah foul
- 20:05Speaker 9: hit on Golden and that just put some juice in
- 20:09Speaker 9: the team. I believe we're the thirty second ranked defense
- 20:14Speaker 9: and yards allowed, and so a few players coming back,
- 20:18Speaker 9: a few more plays, a few more stops like the
- 20:22Speaker 9: Pat block and Leah foul hit, we just need a
- 20:26Speaker 9: little bit more juice on defense to compliment what we're
- 20:30Speaker 9: doing on offense. And I don't think we're that far off,
- 20:33Speaker 9: not from being perennial contenders, but just being in the conversation,
- 20:38Speaker 9: we are bad on defense, but we're not far off.
- 20:42Speaker 9: So anyway, that's all I got.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Thanks, thanks K, thanks for the call. Yeah, I mean
- 20:48Speaker 3: they need a lot more juice. Actually I think it's
- 20:51Speaker 3: they a lot more juice than that. But that that
- 20:53Speaker 3: block feel extra point changed the entire game because several
- 20:57Speaker 3: times in the game and the Cowboys are up three
- 20:59Speaker 3: thirty to two twenty seven, You're like, this should be
- 21:02Speaker 3: twenty eight twenty eight. I mean, but because of that
- 21:05Speaker 3: three point swing, that really helped the Cowboys. That was
- 21:07Speaker 3: the biggest, probably the biggest play in the game. To
- 21:10Speaker 3: kind of keep a minute, let's go to break here
- 21:12Speaker 3: on Cowboys storyline. Be right back after this.

- 22:59Speaker 3: So we don't get home at two am. All right,
- 23:02Speaker 3: let's go to Keith in Fernandina Beach, California.
- 23:08Speaker 13: It's actually Fernandina Beach, Florida, Florida.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Bad. I'm bad.
- 23:12Speaker 13: That's okay, no problem, Nick, Good morning.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, Chris, now beat Florida.
- 23:21Speaker 13: You got it. Good morning, Nick, how I'm doing great.
- 23:25Speaker 13: So i'd like to get your opinion. We've obviously seen
- 23:29Speaker 13: four games were one, two and one. When we get
- 23:32Speaker 13: towards the trade deadline at this time, are you thinking
- 23:36Speaker 13: more of just holding on to our basically draft picks
- 23:40Speaker 13: or whatever and just riding the season out or would
- 23:44Speaker 13: you be in seeing the team look at maybe using
- 23:48Speaker 13: some of the draft capital to get a defensive player
- 23:52Speaker 13: that it could really help this team. You know, when
- 23:54Speaker 13: when teams get bad, sometimes they unload some players that
- 23:57Speaker 13: aren't part of the future and we could pick up somebody.
- 24:00Speaker 13: What are your thoughts?
- 24:01Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, all right, Keith, thanks for the call.
- 24:05Speaker 3: I you know, I've said this several times. I'll say
- 24:08Speaker 3: it kind of in a different way, but I think,
- 24:10Speaker 3: you know, if the Cowboys are going to do that,
- 24:12Speaker 3: they need to find somebody that kind of helps this franchise,
- 24:16Speaker 3: not just this team, not not just this twenty twenty
- 24:19Speaker 3: five team. You just said it, maybe a team saying, oh,
- 24:22Speaker 3: he's not gonna be a part of the future.
- 24:23Speaker 2: That's fine.
- 24:24Speaker 3: As long as he's a part of the Cowboys future.
- 24:27Speaker 3: This isn't going to be a team that needs to
- 24:29Speaker 3: go rent a player.
- 24:32Speaker 2: I don't you know.
- 24:33Speaker 3: They've they've sort of done that already with some guys,
- 24:37Speaker 3: Murray being one of them, Pickings being a bigger one.
- 24:43Speaker 3: But I you know, and I think there's a I'm
- 24:47Speaker 3: sure there's a little bit of discussion already about maybe
- 24:51Speaker 3: keeping him. Of course, he's got the same agent as Micah,
- 24:54Speaker 3: so that that'll be interesting. But you know, as from
- 24:58Speaker 3: an agent standpoint, if you can't say oparate the two,
- 25:01Speaker 3: then you're not a good agent, you know. And he
- 25:03Speaker 3: obviously got the contract that he got for Mica, so
- 25:06Speaker 3: you know, he's definitely a player's agent. But if you
- 25:09Speaker 3: can't you know, if you, like I said, if you
- 25:12Speaker 3: just can't separate the two, then then you know you're
- 25:15Speaker 3: not doing your job right and you're not doing your player,
- 25:18Speaker 3: you know, justice at all. So I don't think that'll
- 25:21Speaker 3: be an issue. Is what I'm trying to say, is
- 25:23Speaker 3: I think you know, but now he's probably gonna try
- 25:26Speaker 3: to you know, pickets keeps playing like that like he
- 25:28Speaker 3: did the other night. He's got to what three touchdowns
- 25:30Speaker 3: so far. He keeps playing like you did in that game.
- 25:33Speaker 3: That was a huge game for him, not just because
- 25:36Speaker 3: of the touchdowns and helping him, you know, make plays
- 25:39Speaker 3: and all that, but think about what he did. He
- 25:40Speaker 3: he was the number one guy, He was the the
- 25:44Speaker 3: one a with CD being out, and then not only
- 25:47Speaker 3: did he have an amazing catch down by the one,
- 25:50Speaker 3: then the other touchdown was a great play too, because
- 25:52Speaker 3: it was I mean, he was he was everything you want.
- 25:56Speaker 3: He was a possession receiver because he had I thought
- 25:59Speaker 3: one of the biggest plays in and the game was
- 26:00Speaker 3: a slant back on the five yard line, down thirteen
- 26:02Speaker 3: to two, no life from the offense back at their
- 26:05Speaker 3: own five. A slant that started that whole drive that
- 26:09Speaker 3: you know, ended with a touchdown, ninety five yard drive,
- 26:13Speaker 3: but it's got off the goal line with him, so
- 26:16Speaker 3: I thought that was a huge play. Had another fourth
- 26:18Speaker 3: down catch that was right off the carpet. It was
- 26:21Speaker 3: a great catch. So he did everything went high, went low,
- 26:25Speaker 3: slants deep, you know, a deep slant for the touchdown.
- 26:30Speaker 3: I just I thought it was a magnificent game and
- 26:32Speaker 3: a great example. For one, he earned himself some money,
- 26:36Speaker 3: I think that. And now it'll be a long season,
- 26:38Speaker 3: but he did exactly what he needed to do to
- 26:41Speaker 3: try to get that next contract. All right, it's going
- 26:43Speaker 3: to Mark in Wisconsin.
- 26:45Speaker 23: Hey, Nick, thanks for having me first time caller.
- 26:47Speaker 4: Love the show.
- 26:49Speaker 23: And I got a question observation about our defense. So
- 26:51Speaker 23: I know we're not playing the best, but because our
- 26:54Speaker 23: offense is so high powered, we've had this in the
- 26:57Speaker 23: past where what happened to Ben but don't break defense.
- 27:00Speaker 23: Can we get back to that.
- 27:02Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to get.
- 27:03Speaker 23: Your thoughts on that.
- 27:04Speaker 3: All right, Well, there you go. Thanks for the call.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Bend but don't break. We're not there just just breaking.
- 27:13Speaker 3: You know, they're really bending that much. Bending and breaking
- 27:17Speaker 3: is really what it is. It's a bend and break defense. Yeah,
- 27:22Speaker 3: and and and that's what's happening. You get into the
- 27:24Speaker 3: to the red zone. This team's really really not good
- 27:28Speaker 3: at third downs. And that's I don't know what's what
- 27:30Speaker 3: they rank. I have to look that up, but it
- 27:33Speaker 3: just seems like every week teams are you know, like
- 27:36Speaker 3: the Packers, and that game was even right forty to
- 27:38Speaker 3: fortybody even as you can get. But I mean they
- 27:41Speaker 3: were seventy one percent on third down, you know, and
- 27:43Speaker 3: so and then fourth down too. They had a couple
- 27:47Speaker 3: of plays on fourth down that it just it just
- 27:50Speaker 3: doesn't ever seem like it just amazes me when they
- 27:54Speaker 3: actually do punt because you're like why you know, or
- 27:57Speaker 3: even kick a field goal, like you could get this
- 28:01Speaker 3: and and so that's just the problem they it's still generate.
- 28:05Speaker 3: It's still it's still from the pressure. I thought the
- 28:07Speaker 3: pressure was better in the game, but still not enough pressure.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Just too much time and and you know, the communications
- 28:14Speaker 3: got to get better at the cornerbacks, and uh, they
- 28:16Speaker 3: got to figure out what to do with Diggs. Digs
- 28:18Speaker 3: has to play not there's no figuring it out. They
- 28:21Speaker 3: got to figure out how to put Digs in positions
- 28:23Speaker 3: where he goes and makes the best plays because he's
- 28:25Speaker 3: a really good corner when he's doing things that makes
- 28:27Speaker 3: him a good corner, and they got to figure out
- 28:29Speaker 3: how to get him back there.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Jr. In Avondale, Arizona's next.
- 28:33Speaker 20: Good morning, Nick, How you doing good?
- 28:35Speaker 2: Good?
- 28:35Speaker 20: How are you enjoined the seventy five degree weather in Arizona?
- 28:39Speaker 20: But anyway, I move on to the Cowboys. Donovanezeraku looks
- 28:44Speaker 20: like a different player to me. I watched the first
- 28:46Speaker 20: two games, and in this game, he's making a difference.
- 28:50Speaker 20: He's getting getting some pressures. I'm not a big PFF
- 28:54Speaker 20: guy or anything like that. How many pressures he got,
- 28:57Speaker 20: but he's around the quarterback and his hit on the
- 28:59Speaker 20: running was devastating. It was a huge hit. And I
- 29:04Speaker 20: think he's gonna break out this week. I think he's
- 29:05Speaker 20: have a couple of facts and he's gonna but start
- 29:08Speaker 20: becoming the player we all thought he was gonna be.
- 29:10Speaker 20: And throw some props to Mazzie Smith. I think he's playing.
- 29:15Speaker 20: He's not great, but he's definitely playing better than he
- 29:17Speaker 20: I've seen him play since he's been with it with
- 29:19Speaker 20: the team, and good for him. Hopefully he keeps getting better.
- 29:23Speaker 20: And last thing, we he appreciate Tyler Smith. He's such
- 29:28Speaker 20: a good player, and he had a play where got
- 29:32Speaker 20: and got beat by Parsons and he literally does like Superman,
- 29:37Speaker 20: got enough of Parsons to let that get the pass off.
- 29:40Speaker 20: And you just don't see guards as big as him
- 29:43Speaker 20: doing that. So we appreciate Tyler Smith more than that.
- 29:48Speaker 20: I guess we appreciate him. But last thing, I saw
- 29:51Speaker 20: that the Green Bay Packers are not changing their name
- 29:55Speaker 20: to the Green Bay Parsons since Parsons didn't tear the
- 29:58Speaker 20: Cowboys out. So probably got a great day thanks.
- 30:02Speaker 3: You know, Tyler Smith didn't play his best game. He
- 30:05Speaker 3: really didn't. He had a couple of penalties, and you know,
- 30:08Speaker 3: for it was surprising when you look at the guys there,
- 30:11Speaker 3: you know that they did have to play. I thought,
- 30:14Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of grades that he got.
- 30:16Speaker 3: I thought TJ. Bass had a great game. Every time
- 30:18Speaker 3: I was looking at him, he was. He was moving
- 30:21Speaker 3: his guy and holding up pretty good. Uh, you just
- 30:24Speaker 3: expected a little bit more. And I'm not saying Tyler
- 30:26Speaker 3: Smith had a bad game, because that's what happens with
- 30:28Speaker 3: offensive lineman. Maybe you see a sack that they gave up,
- 30:30Speaker 3: or penalty or whatever, and you're like, man, that's two
- 30:33Speaker 3: for him, and really the rest of the game he
- 30:35Speaker 3: locked down. But yeah, that player talking about when he
- 30:39Speaker 3: he he saved guy in there and say saved Dak
- 30:42Speaker 3: is really what happened. He's saved Dak more than anything
- 30:45Speaker 3: because he can fly it him and he's that strong
- 30:48Speaker 3: where where he was able to kind of knock Parsons
- 30:51Speaker 3: off just enough, I think knocked Parsons into another guy.
- 30:55Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the Travis and san Antonio
- 30:59Speaker 3: nick to you.
- 31:02Speaker 24: I'm doing good. I just want to hit a couple
- 31:04Speaker 24: of quick things from the game and then you can
- 31:06Speaker 24: take either one of them in comment or whatnot. But
- 31:09Speaker 24: I just wanted to say, Dak is this is the
- 31:11Speaker 24: best I've seen, And I'm sure it's I haven't been
- 31:14Speaker 24: listening a lot, but I've sure everyone's kind of saying
- 31:15Speaker 24: it the play for me though ironically for Dak, that
- 31:19Speaker 24: like kind of told me he's on a different level
- 31:21Speaker 24: with the Shottenneimer or he's getting back to it is
- 31:24Speaker 24: is the the running play down in the red zone,
- 31:26Speaker 24: which we've all been kind of calling for. To see
- 31:28Speaker 24: him do that was kind of like that was kind
- 31:30Speaker 24: of the moment for me that. I was like, Okay,
- 31:31Speaker 24: he's like he's now, he's like back to what he
- 31:34Speaker 24: was before. So that was great to see. He's definitely
- 31:37Speaker 24: playing it an elite level, MVP level the I do.
- 31:42Speaker 24: I've been saying, Turpin, I want everyone to drop the
- 31:45Speaker 24: whole gadget guy thing. I even shared something in the
- 31:47Speaker 24: storyline chat with him, you know, when he was a
- 31:49Speaker 24: TCU catching passes and everything. I know they found him
- 31:52Speaker 24: as a kick returner partner because they needed one. But
- 31:54Speaker 24: he is a full pledge wide receiver. And there was
- 31:56Speaker 24: that one overthrow I think it was the Pickens maybe
- 31:59Speaker 24: on the right sideline, and Turpin beat his dude off
- 32:01Speaker 24: the ball like right off the snap and was wide
- 32:03Speaker 24: open for a touchdown. But so hopefully he gets the
- 32:07Speaker 24: more looks. And then the last two things I was
- 32:10Speaker 24: going to say is I hope they figure out a
- 32:12Speaker 24: way Nick that they can keep Clayton Adams for a
- 32:15Speaker 24: couple more years because I fear like, like the offensive line,
- 32:19Speaker 24: with how good they did plugging people in the offensive
- 32:22Speaker 24: line looks so much better prepared from an individual player
- 32:25Speaker 24: standpoint for guys coming in going out that game and
- 32:28Speaker 24: then being able to run the ball like, it's amazing
- 32:30Speaker 24: how the running game has come alive. Maybe it's the
- 32:33Speaker 24: back and him, but it's the scheme. I think it
- 32:35Speaker 24: is a big part of it. And then lastly, I
- 32:38Speaker 24: know the defense has been taking a lot of It's
- 32:39Speaker 24: the only thing I'll give iber Plus at least as
- 32:41Speaker 24: a positive this week is we saw some different personnel
- 32:44Speaker 24: and he's at least trying. And that was my only thing.
- 32:47Speaker 24: I just if we're going to like struggle, just show
- 32:50Speaker 24: us that you're trying different stuff and we'll give you
- 32:52Speaker 24: more rope and more leash to you know, to be like, well,
- 32:55Speaker 24: you know, he's trying stuff. It's just not working. So
- 32:58Speaker 24: that's my other thing. But I'll let you guys go,
- 32:59Speaker 24: and you guys have a.
- 33:00Speaker 3: Great week, all right, Thank you, Travis, appreciate that. A
- 33:03Speaker 3: lot of stuff there. Uh, the lines are open here
- 33:05Speaker 3: on Cowboys storyline eight aight eight A five five two
- 33:08Speaker 3: two nine seven. We got some text line questions coming
- 33:11Speaker 3: in as well. We can maybe get get to those.
- 33:14Speaker 3: But hear it all the time. If I can't get
- 33:16Speaker 3: into the show, can't get in the show, well this
- 33:18Speaker 3: is the time, This would be the time right now
- 33:21Speaker 3: to call Travis had a lot of stuff at Turpin'
- 33:25Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean I think I think he is
- 33:28Speaker 3: a gadget player. That's okay, there's nothing wrong with that.
- 33:32Speaker 2: I mean, like.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Well Wes Welker was, you know, but I mean he was,
- 33:37Speaker 3: he was great at it. I mean, you know, Cole
- 33:40Speaker 3: Beasley was that. And it comes down to just because
- 33:42Speaker 3: you can't do everything with him, but he does things
- 33:46Speaker 3: that some of your other receivers couldn't do. So it
- 33:50Speaker 3: gadget whatever you want to say, he's unique and he's
- 33:56Speaker 3: because he's got, you know, a speed that's just out
- 34:00Speaker 3: of this world and you've got to be smart with
- 34:03Speaker 3: how you play him and where you where you put him,
- 34:05Speaker 3: you know, over the middle and things like that. But uh, anyways, uh,
- 34:10Speaker 3: it was I think he's I think he's really developing
- 34:13Speaker 3: into a you know, a dynamic weapon for this team,
- 34:18Speaker 3: and especially with what they have. You put CD and
- 34:21Speaker 3: pickings in there, you've got a sure handed tied in.
- 34:25Speaker 3: He's not he's not gonna be you know, he's not dynamic,
- 34:28Speaker 3: I don't think. But uh, he does make make some
- 34:31Speaker 3: nice plays and he'll he'll move the chains for you
- 34:33Speaker 3: and break and tackle every now and again. You need
- 34:35Speaker 3: him to break a little bit more. I think you
- 34:38Speaker 3: appreciate witting more than when you do. And you, you know,
- 34:40Speaker 3: you wit and looked like a guy. It was kind
- 34:42Speaker 3: of lumbering around, you know, but he was ten yards
- 34:45Speaker 3: just about every time. And uh, you know that you'd
- 34:47Speaker 3: like to get Ferguson kind of at that level. So
- 34:51Speaker 3: all right, let's go to We've got a text question here.
- 34:55Speaker 3: This is Elijah from Phoenix, first time ever text in
- 34:58Speaker 3: the show. What's up, Elijah? I believe we can compete
- 35:01Speaker 3: against any team in the league with our offense downside.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Our defense has been bad. We're gonna have to compete
- 35:06Speaker 3: against every team we face. We're gonna win these next
- 35:08Speaker 3: three winnable games that are coming up, well, we've got
- 35:11Speaker 3: he says, we've got to win. Uh yeah, I mean
- 35:14Speaker 3: they're all winnable. I mean he stops at three, because
- 35:16Speaker 3: I guess you stop at at Denver. That's got to
- 35:20Speaker 3: be winnable too. I mean, you know, I mean think
- 35:23Speaker 3: about it. I mean at Philly and you had chances
- 35:25Speaker 3: to win. You know, Dak had the ball two and
- 35:27Speaker 3: a half minutes to go and put it in his
- 35:28Speaker 3: hands of ceedee lamb three times and he dropped it.
- 35:31Speaker 3: I don't think he'll drop it again. But I mean,
- 35:34Speaker 3: if you can go do that Philly on the opening
- 35:36Speaker 3: night of the season season, I think you can go
- 35:38Speaker 3: into Denver or any of these.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Places and win.
- 35:40Speaker 3: So I mean, when you talk about winnable games, now,
- 35:43Speaker 3: some are obviously more than others. Some you might be favored,
- 35:45Speaker 3: some you won't. But I can't see it's a team
- 35:49Speaker 3: a game on this schedule that you're like, they're not winning.
- 35:51Speaker 3: They can't win that one. You you could argue at
- 35:53Speaker 3: Detroit probably Thursday after Thanksgiving. You know, Kansas City is
- 35:58Speaker 3: gonna be tough with the defense plain the way it
- 36:00Speaker 3: is now. I mean, it's scary, you know what I mean.
- 36:03Speaker 3: They've made Russell Wilson look great and he's not even
- 36:05Speaker 3: their starter anymore.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Uh.
- 36:07Speaker 3: You know, Jordan Love always looks great against against the Cowboys,
- 36:10Speaker 3: and so you wonder what Mahomes and these guys would do.
- 36:13Speaker 3: But you wonder what Justin Fields is going to do
- 36:15Speaker 3: this week. All right, let's go to Chris in San
- 36:17Speaker 3: Angelo's our next caller.
- 36:18Speaker 25: Chris, mister Nick, how are you doing today, sir?
- 36:21Speaker 2: Good? How are you?
- 36:23Speaker 25: I'm really good? Thank you? One thing. Yeah, I hadn't.
- 36:26Speaker 25: I didn't haven't been able to comment on the Green
- 36:29Speaker 25: Bay game yet. I was just it's a tie with
- 36:32Speaker 25: a little let down. They call him the sister kisser,
- 36:35Speaker 25: and so I guess I'm kind of getting that now.
- 36:39Speaker 25: So uh but one thing I did notice during the game.
- 36:43Speaker 25: I was looking at it and I looked at Javonte
- 36:46Speaker 25: Williams and I was just like, Okay, I love this guy. Yeah,
- 36:51Speaker 25: and uh so with him in there, obviously gonna need
- 36:55Speaker 25: some help. I don't know what the Sanders injury is,
- 36:58Speaker 25: but with are you hearing anything down anything down the
- 37:03Speaker 25: pop line as far as what's gonna happen with that position? Yes,
- 37:07Speaker 25: And I'll let you go, buddy.
- 37:09Speaker 3: I think I was just anticipating you were gonna ask
- 37:12Speaker 3: me about Jayden Blue. I think he plays this week.
- 37:15Speaker 3: I think it sounded like he was pretty close for
- 37:17Speaker 3: him playing last week. They just decided at the last
- 37:19Speaker 3: minute to hold him out and keep Sanders in there.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Sanders has an ankle injury. It's not that bad. It's
- 37:25Speaker 3: not going to be an ir type thing, but it's
- 37:27Speaker 3: probably gonna be just enough to give them what their
- 37:30Speaker 3: hope they were trying to do. Is to figure out
- 37:33Speaker 3: a way in the time to put Jayden Blue in there.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Schottenheimer said that he's been practicing really well, so he's
- 37:40Speaker 3: ready to play. And I think injury or not, I
- 37:44Speaker 3: bet you he would have played this game. So I
- 37:47Speaker 3: expect Jayden Blue to make his NFL debut this week
- 37:50Speaker 3: against the Jets, and I think we all want to
- 37:53Speaker 3: see it, you know, because Sanders is fine. There's nothing
- 37:57Speaker 3: special that I've seen but solid and for our back
- 38:02Speaker 3: that you know, can catch the ball and run and
- 38:04Speaker 3: and and and block, it's good. Now, he's not the
- 38:07Speaker 3: fastest guy. We saw that, you know, Jason Blues not
- 38:11Speaker 3: getting caught by a linebacker and from behind.
- 38:13Speaker 2: I know that.
- 38:14Speaker 3: Now, you know, is he gonna do all the things
- 38:17Speaker 3: he needs to do. We're about to find out. But
- 38:18Speaker 3: sounds like he's he's ready to go, and that will
- 38:20Speaker 3: be one thing to look at this week. All right,
- 38:22Speaker 3: Let's go to Esteban in Austin. Estebani.
- 38:28Speaker 2: There, we lose him.
- 38:31Speaker 17: He's up.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Now, what's that?
- 38:32Speaker 9: Man?
- 38:33Speaker 14: Hey, how's it going?
- 38:34Speaker 20: Man?
- 38:36Speaker 14: Uh? Doing all right after that time? But just a
- 38:40Speaker 14: couple of things I wanted to comment on, and uh,
- 38:43Speaker 14: one of them, which is I'm I'm liking the direction
- 38:47Speaker 14: the team's going. You know, Shottenheim early in the year
- 38:51Speaker 14: promised to have a good run game, and he's I mean,
- 38:54Speaker 14: he's kind of delivering. I feel like he's really helped
- 38:59Speaker 14: the office, the line, and and the running backs with
- 39:03Speaker 14: his scheme. I don't think I ever saw anything like
- 39:07Speaker 14: this with McCarthy, even though he wasn't an run guy.
- 39:10Speaker 14: But I think it's also helped Dak to perform at
- 39:15Speaker 14: a lead level. So I'm really liking that. The other
- 39:18Speaker 14: thing I was kind of hoping to see. I know,
- 39:20Speaker 14: Ferguson's uh, not the biggest yack guy. He doesn't really
- 39:26Speaker 14: gain a lot of yardage. I'm kind of hoping to
- 39:29Speaker 14: see Brevn span Ford get some passes thrown his way.
- 39:32Speaker 14: I don't know, what do you think?
- 39:33Speaker 3: All right, thanks for the call, you know, I span
- 39:36Speaker 3: forward to me. He's got to be in there more
- 39:38Speaker 3: than than a scoon maker. I mean, that's the next
- 39:41Speaker 3: step for him. You know, they obviously, you know they
- 39:43Speaker 3: paid Ferguson. He's he's going to be here. He's going
- 39:45Speaker 3: to be your starting tight end. He's going to be
- 39:46Speaker 3: the guy that that plays the most. Span Ford, I
- 39:50Speaker 3: think for him getting there and getting more reps and
- 39:53Speaker 3: taking some of those reps from from Schoonmaker is probably
- 39:56Speaker 3: going to be his uh next goal, and that's that's obtained.
- 40:00Speaker 2: You know.
- 40:00Speaker 3: I think he's a good blocker. He's a good pass catcher, big,
- 40:04Speaker 3: big target, just like Schoonmaker. You know, they're they're kind
- 40:07Speaker 3: of the same. He's you know, spanned forwards, a little bigger,
- 40:12Speaker 3: probably a little tougher, you know. I think maybe he's
- 40:15Speaker 3: a physical player for sure. But yeah, I mean I
- 40:18Speaker 3: like him. I think they developed him and they knew
- 40:20Speaker 3: when they when they signed him after the draft that
- 40:23Speaker 3: that was kind of one of their best undrafted free
- 40:25Speaker 3: agents and they were really happy to get him. Had
- 40:28Speaker 3: I think they had a fifth round grade on him,
- 40:30Speaker 3: so to get him after the draft, they were excited.
- 40:32Speaker 3: And you know, so far he's he's been a really
- 40:34Speaker 3: good player. All right, Let's go to Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky.
- 40:40Speaker 5: What's up man?
- 40:41Speaker 2: How you doing? Man?
- 40:42Speaker 5: I'm good, I'm good. I'm not upset about the time.
- 40:47Speaker 5: I'm just playing. We're not one of the three.
- 40:50Speaker 2: It's true, but.
- 40:52Speaker 5: Hey, Ferguson's on my fantasy team. And I heard this
- 40:56Speaker 5: morning he's got the second most catches and see anybody
- 41:00Speaker 5: in the NFL, which is which is pretty good for us.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Most catches by a tight end in NFL history after
- 41:08Speaker 3: four games. No tight ends ever had thirty four catches
- 41:11Speaker 3: in four games only, and Mark Cooper is the only
- 41:15Speaker 3: player that's ever done it in Cowboys history there was
- 41:17Speaker 3: a receiver. He's at thirty seven and twenty twenty. But yeah,
- 41:21Speaker 3: now you're obviously in a point per catch league, so
- 41:24Speaker 3: that's helping you. But I mean as far as far
- 41:26Speaker 3: as like scoring touchdowns and getting a lot of yards,
- 41:29Speaker 3: I mean, it's been okay, I would think.
- 41:32Speaker 5: So, Hey, what I wanted to ask? Who is the
- 41:36Speaker 5: number one offense in the NFL right now?
- 41:40Speaker 3: Depends on the stat but I'm sure the Cowboys are
- 41:43Speaker 3: up there, especially with if it's yards.
- 41:45Speaker 5: Cowboys are number one overall offense. I think they're number
- 41:49Speaker 5: thirty two in defense. So who was the best quarterback
- 41:54Speaker 5: last weekend? Five fall? I mean you gotta say people
- 42:00Speaker 5: have to give okay, ya, okay, why with all that,
- 42:07Speaker 5: why didn't they go for it on fourth down in
- 42:10Speaker 5: overtime instead of kicking a field goal?
- 42:13Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 42:14Speaker 5: I don't think they should have or do you think
- 42:16Speaker 5: the field goal.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Was I think the field goal was the way on
- 42:20Speaker 2: fourth down from the four.
- 42:21Speaker 3: That's my problem. My problem is not on fourth down.
- 42:24Speaker 3: My problem was second down and third down. With Davante
- 42:27Speaker 3: running the way he's running. I don't think if you
- 42:30Speaker 3: would have run him four times in a row, they've
- 42:32Speaker 3: already done one. I don't think they're stopping him. And
- 42:35Speaker 3: and you could fix change up how they run and
- 42:38Speaker 3: maybe do the wildcat again or fake that or whatever.
- 42:40Speaker 2: You want to do.
- 42:41Speaker 3: But but one way or another, I would have kept
- 42:44Speaker 3: running the ball there and getting closer. And if I
- 42:47Speaker 3: get inside the two on fourth down, then I am
- 42:49Speaker 3: going for it. And if I don't make it, then
- 42:51Speaker 3: I've got him pinned back there. And I hope maybe
- 42:53Speaker 3: you get a game winning safety or something like that.
- 42:55Speaker 3: Who knows, But I if you were closer, I would
- 42:58Speaker 3: have done it. And I would have made sure on
- 43:00Speaker 3: second third down that I was closer.
- 43:03Speaker 5: So all right, that's that's why I asked you what
- 43:05Speaker 5: your opinion. Appreciate that call?
- 43:07Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna go quick quick here with Davion
- 43:09Speaker 3: and Illinois. Davion, what's up? But gotta go quick though.
- 43:13Speaker 10: What's going on Big Down. I just wanted to say
- 43:15Speaker 10: happy to hear that Jayon Lou's gonna get a chance
- 43:18Speaker 10: to get a chance to play this week. Hopefully you
- 43:21Speaker 10: can do what we all hope he can do, is
- 43:23Speaker 10: ask him juice to the offense. And I guess I
- 43:26Speaker 10: hit you hit you back this week. I wanted to
- 43:28Speaker 10: get you about to take a boy Jalen October yesterday
- 43:32Speaker 10: on the on the show as you closed the show,
- 43:34Speaker 10: but I ain't got trying to get into it right now, but.
- 43:37Speaker 3: All right, I'll talk about him, all right, Thanks Davion.
- 43:40Speaker 3: I know that was quick man, that's my guy.
- 43:42Speaker 9: Uh.
- 43:42Speaker 3: I hate you having to do that for the these
- 43:45Speaker 3: guys at the end of the show. But the thing
- 43:47Speaker 3: about it is, you know, Tobert, he is what he is.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Man.
- 43:51Speaker 3: He's not the biggest, he's not the fastest, but you know,
- 43:53Speaker 3: he's got pretty good awareness and a nice sideline cat
- 43:56Speaker 3: great sideline catch.
- 43:58Speaker 2: I was phenomenal play. And you know, sad that.
- 44:01Speaker 3: They didn't score there they scored, maybe they win the game.
- 44:04Speaker 3: You're gonna look at that plays as the as the
- 44:06Speaker 3: game changing play, but it was. It was a phenomenal
- 44:10Speaker 3: catch by him, for sure, And I think he's doing
- 44:13Speaker 3: a nice job. Pickings is the guy on the you know,
- 44:16Speaker 3: he's the dude on the other side. Uh, and then
- 44:18Speaker 3: you know Mingo's coming back and CD will definitely be back.
- 44:22Speaker 17: You know.
- 44:23Speaker 3: It's just a good problem to have. But I mean,
- 44:24Speaker 3: he's a reliable player that can go up there and play.
- 44:27Speaker 3: I think he's doing a good job blocking too. So uh,
- 44:30Speaker 3: let's let's give and you guys have done that. You
- 44:32Speaker 3: give him Tolbert his his props as well. Also, one
- 44:35Speaker 3: more break here on Cowboys storyline. Be right back to

- 45:55Speaker 3: a little bit before we wrap this thing up. It's
- 45:57Speaker 3: been a fun show. A lot of people talking about
- 45:59Speaker 3: the packers and the jets. I mean it's, you know,
- 46:03Speaker 3: a tie. You don't know what to think about. It
- 46:05Speaker 3: had a text line question here from Matt and rileygh
- 46:09Speaker 3: North Carolina. Is the only good thing about ties that
- 46:11Speaker 3: helped our draft stock down both ends? I'm finding the positive.
- 46:14Speaker 3: I mean, you're right about that. You know, the Cowboys
- 46:16Speaker 3: didn't get a lost, Packers didn't get a win, so
- 46:20Speaker 3: one way or another Everything they do is tied to
- 46:22Speaker 3: your draft status for sure. So all right, it's a
- 46:25Speaker 3: big week for the Cowboys. That gotta beat the Jets.
