• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Football Club.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: How about this, Cowboys?
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Yes!
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Go, Cowboys!
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline, presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 0:37
  Speaker 6: Good morning and welcome to Cowboys Storyline, presented by Gillette.
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: It's Thursday, October 15th. See if we can have a
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: good show today. See if we can get a little
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: bit more callers today than we did yesterday. I think
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: we're going to have a good start.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: What's going on with this football team? I'm trying to
• 0:56
  Speaker 6: think of some of the new stuff. I mean, yeah,
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: yesterday's talk about Mike Petten. Is he here? Is he around?
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's supposed to get there Wednesday. Some of
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: the players hadn't seen him there. I think that's a
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: little bit of a surprise because, you know, being– the
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: long weekend after Thursday night's game, it's like, all right,
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: changes have got to happen, and when did this conversation happen?
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: When did they decide to add on a consultant, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: wouldn't he be here a little earlier, and all this stuff,
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: and Christian Parker, Jerry says he's going up to the booth,
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: and Shadi says, well, we haven't determined all that yet,
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: so I'm pretty sure that the coordinators talked today, so
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: it'll be interesting to kind of hear a little bit
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: from Christian Parker on all this as well. All right,
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: 888-855-2297 is the number to call. Let's go to the
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: phone lines with Chris in Saratoga Springs.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: What's up, Nick?
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: How are you doing?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not too bad. How about yourself?
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: I'm good.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: You know what will solve all this noise?
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: Which one?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Winning.
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I said, you know what will solve all this? Winning.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Always.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Always.
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Winning is undefeated. You know, wins have always won. I've
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: never said that before, but that's it. Wins have always won.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: Unless you win and you think you have the number
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: one pick of the draft, and then you win, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: then you end up number two pick and all that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: But for the most part, winning is winning.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Hey, are you like me?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Are you a superstitious individual?
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Can be.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Can be.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Can be. Oh, I definitely can be. And then sometimes
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: I'm not, but yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Do I think if I turn the channel and watch
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: this basketball game that's played like seven states away, if
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: I turn this channel and come back in 15 minutes,
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: is it going to be better? Yeah, I think so.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: And usually it is. So little things like that. Or
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: maybe that's a big thing.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: I don't know. Yeah, for sure.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: I do have a question for you. What's your superstition, though?
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Where does that question come from?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Well, the reason I was saying that is because last
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: week you wore like a red shirt while doing a
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: video when we were playing the Bucs. And I'm like,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: why is he wearing red? Aren't the Bucs red?
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Really? Yeah. Well, first of all, you're not the first
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: person that actually said that. Because we have a guy upstairs, Michael,
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: who texted me and was like, whoa, whoa, why are
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: you wearing Bucs colors? And I'm like, First of all,
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: it's noon on Thursday. I'm just kind of driving around, whatever.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not in my school clothes yet. Now,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: truth be told, I do have a story that I
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: could tell you about that where I attempted to do
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: something this year. All 17 games, I attempted to do something,
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: and it lasted one. And that was, I was going
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: to wear the colors of the other team somewhere like
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: on my tie or my shirt or shoes or whatever,
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: you know. And I was like, first game, red, white,
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: and blue. And it didn't go well. Second game, I
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: had all the burgundy stuff. I was going to do it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: And I said, nah, I kind of toned it down
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: a little bit. And as I looked at the schedule
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: and I saw back-to-back at Philly, at Green Bay, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: I was like, I'm not doing that. That's just going
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: to be bad. So I'm not doing that. I'm not
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: wearing green on the road two weeks in a row.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: I'm not happening. So I just nixed that thing.
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: Sorry.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: No, it's all good.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Go ahead. Go ahead, Chris.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my question is, what are your thoughts on possibly
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: moving Rashawn Gary inside a little bit for some snaps
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to get Malachi Lawrence and maybe Vaughn a little more
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: pass rushing opportunities? What's your thoughts on maybe moving him inside?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Because I know he's a big individual, and I know
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: he could play both spots.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: He could. Um, I think that is a third and
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: 12 situation, a third and 10. Um, and which I
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: don't think they've gotten a lot of those right now.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Third and really long. Then, then I, I don't mind
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: that because you're probably not going to run a draw.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: And then at that point, I've got all my, my
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: pass rushers in there. But you know, the thing about
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Quinn and Williams is, is that he's a pretty good
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: pass rusher for his size and inside too. So, um,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: And another guy to watch is L.T. Overton. He's a
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: guy that I really liked when they drafted him. I
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: thought he could be a unique type of player. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: I think he's going to... continue to develop into that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: And that is an inside pass rusher that I really
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: want to see as a converted end in there. But
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: I don't hate that because you're right. He's got good size.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: He's a pass rusher. And it gets more guys involved.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: But as long as it's not third and five, third
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: and six. If it's third and long, then, yeah, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: like a different look that has those guys in there.
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: All right, Chris.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: Thanks, Nick.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: Good stuff.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Way to lead us off. Let's go Davion in Illinois next. Davion.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: What's going on? What it do? What it do, my boy?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: What the business is?
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: How you doing? Good.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I'm doing good. Following up from the call Monday, you
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: had me right. You picked me right. I was really
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: wanting to see Bland be probably our third corner. Trying
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: to really see what the rank can do with JPJ
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and then Caleb and Nickel or whatever kind of version
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: you want to do with that. I think Blaine's confidence
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: is shot. He's falling down. He's on simple stuff. It's
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: just not looking like it used to look back in
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: the day. And I don't know if there's something going
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: on there. I just don't know what's going on. But
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: that's what I kind of suspect. Love the petting hire.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Love bringing them in. I think anytime we need help,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: You need to get it, because at this point right now,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: five games in, we've got to try to get it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: We've got a nice little stretch of decent games where
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: we can win, so I think all hands on deck
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to try to get going before we get to the
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: tough stretch of the schedule.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Quick question for you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: Would you be....
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I'd like to see more up-tempo with Dak calling it
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: at the line. I think, honestly, if we do that,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I liked it when we did it in Houston. He
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: kind of went up and down the field on that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: And I think Dak, if you let him just call
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: it at the line, I think we can really do
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: some things. Yeah.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Can I ask you this question? And you've got to
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: have the answer. Is it going to work?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Yep. Okay.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: And here's why I say that. Because... It all sounds good.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: You're like, let's go up-tempo. Let's go this drive. We're
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: going no-huddle. We're going to go quick, quick, quick, quick.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: And incomplete, drop pass, penalty. Now you're behind the chains.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: You run a draw, and now you punt. And you
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: took a minute and a half off the clock. Now
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: your defense, who's just over there catching their breath over
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: there because they just gave up a big drive, now
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: they're back out there on the D.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: So it's like, if you're going to do it, Better work.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: It better work because you're really putting your defense, which
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: is already challenged, into another situation and behind the eight
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: ball a little bit there too. So I think it's
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: a great idea in spurts, especially when you feel like
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: you've got something rolling. But just be careful with it
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: because with everything you do, like when you blitz, you're
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: giving up. You're susceptible to deep play. So anything you do,
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: the backfire could hurt, especially on a defense that– It's
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: already challenging. It's already challenging.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I get that point. I honestly really was talking about
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: me basically thinking about this first thing. I think I
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: just honestly, the slow starts are really kind of just
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: bothering me. I really think that with this offense and
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: weapons we have, we shouldn't be coming out slow. Especially
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: if it takes too long to crack the code or
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: whatever we're trying to do for the offense towards the
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: defense that they're presenting towards. I think we just need to–
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: we've got to get to it faster because with the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: defense we do have, if you put some force on
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the board, field goals, touchdowns, however, I think it gives
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: them a little help.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: All right. All right, Dave. Appreciate the call. Yeah, I
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: think getting off to a fast start is always a
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: good thing. I was wrong about that Bucs game because
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: I thought for sure if the Cowboys could get off
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: to a good start, and they did. They did 7-0,
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: but Tampa Bay came right back and answered it, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: that was a really big moment in the game early on.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Usually you don't see them that early in the game,
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: of like, oh, this is so pivotal. But the fact
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: that they kept getting these penalties that just extended the drive,
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: extended the drive, Tampa went down and answered it. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: then from then it was game on. And that took
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: a lot of time off the clock, took Dak, you know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: kind of the offense out of rhythm. So getting off
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: to a fast start is great, but both teams have
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: to do that. On both sides is what I mean.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: The defense has to get off to a fast start
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: as well, and that didn't happen. And then from there,
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: it just was kind of back to a slow, grind-it-out
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: type game. All right, let's go to Travis in Utah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: Travis. Travis.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: Hello.
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: First time caller here. Been a long time.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: You got your, here we go. All right, Travis. Appreciate that.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: We got a couple of calls from Utah, but not,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: not a lot. Salt Lake city, but all right, Travis,
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: what you got?
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: I have a question here. I think the last caller
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: mentioned Daron Bland as well. I wanted to talk about
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: his play. I remember on Thanksgiving day in 2023, I
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: was watching him. set the NFL record for pick sixes
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: with family and just, we were screaming and cheering and
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: so excited. I just thought to myself, this defense has
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: potential for years and it went with players like him.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: And I still think, I still think he has tremendous potential.
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: I wanted to ask what were, what would be three
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: things that you would change to help him play at
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: a higher level again?
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: I can't get my comparisons back. No, I mean, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: I don't want him back. I mean, to be honest
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: with you, I know I've said a bunch of things.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, they need a consistent pass rusher. They just
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: don't have one. And I do believe that he was
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: a big, big reason in a lot of those guys.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Not only being able to cover... for a few seconds,
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: but to be aggressive about it and to go get
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: those pick six. And so, yeah, I mean, that's the
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: number one thing that I don't know if it affects Duran.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, it definitely affects Duran, but it's not even
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: about him as much as it is the pass rush.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know if I need three, honestly. I mean,
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: I think that is the biggest thing. I don't know
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: if I worry about his confidence. In fact, after the game,
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: listening to him I kind of thought he would be,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying he was like, you know, excited or
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: happy or pumped or anything. But he was just so
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: even keel. And like, that's probably exactly what you need.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Because even after all those pick sixes, he was the
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: same guy. It's kind of like those kickers that make
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: a 60-yard kick. or that miss one. They're kind of
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: the same. And that's why I have a little bit
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: of confidence that he's going to be okay. I think so.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: But they've got to figure out how to get more
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: pressure on them. And I think with Joey Porter on
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: the other side, I think Bland and Revel and Durant,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be, I think it has
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: a chance to still be a good cornerback room.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I think so too.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: All right, Travis, appreciate the call. You know, we're doing
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: pretty good with first-time callers. I mean, I went back
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: and looked. This is our fourth show of the week.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: This is our third first-time caller, and we had one
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: every day but Tuesday. So good stuff, and I always
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: like that. I always want to keep growing the show.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: I always want to have the regulars call in too.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: So you know how I feel. Like yesterday, we didn't
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: have a lot of callers. So if there's anybody out
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: there that's saying, hey, let's let other people get in,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: They weren't getting in yesterday, so if you want to call,
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: pick up the phone and call. I mean, I don't
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: have any rules when it comes to that kind of stuff.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: I know Chris Beam feels the same way back in
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: the back. All right, let's go with Nate the Great, Albuquerque,
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: New Mexico.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Hey, Nick.
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: I know the last time that we spoke, I was
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: asking about Christian Parker and if you thought that he
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: would get some help or extreme, you know, replace him.
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: But I'm super excited for this hire, especially since he has–
• 14:03
  Speaker 10: Worked with not only Christian Parker but Shottie, so he
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: has a relationship. It's always kind of weird to get
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: someone from the outside coming in and trying to tell
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: you what to do. So hopefully he gives them some
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: advice or Christian Parker can pick his brain. So I'm
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: excited for this hire because I think the defense is good.
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: I think the personnel is good. The improvement from last year,
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: So I think we just need a couple tweaks to
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: get the defense on track. I'm not worried about the offense.
• 14:31
  Speaker 10: The offense, I think, is fine. The spotlight's on them
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: because they have to be perfect because the defense is
• 14:36
  Speaker 10: so bad. So, you know, where things happen in the NFL,
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: we've seen it with the Rams. Everybody thought they were
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: the best team. They were going to go undefeated. They're below.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: 500.
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: They've got the same record as the Cowboys. You know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: Green Bay blew out the Bears last week. We didn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: see that coming, even without Caleb. So I think even
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: if we lose to Green Bay this week, people are
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: going to freak out 2-4, but I think we could
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: still go on a run. We could still end up
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: 10-7 as long as we make some adjustments. So back
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: in 2009, you probably remember, we went into New Orleans,
• 15:10
  Speaker 10: and they were undefeated.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: Nobody gave us a shot.
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: I remember all the commentators, oh, we don't have a chance.
• 15:15
  Speaker 10: We went in there, had a good game, I believe.
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: Miles Austin had a great game, and we won that game. So,
• 15:21
  Speaker 10: like I said, weird things can happen even if we
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: lose to Green Bay this week.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: Let's not forget.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: Go ahead. Okay, go ahead. Go with your score.
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I was going to say Cowboys get out with
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: a win. I'd say we get almost to a party burger.
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: We almost did with the Ravens in Houston. I'd say
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: we get 37, but we give up a lot of points.
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: We give up 27 to Green Bay, but we get
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: out with a win. And I guess my last thing
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: is I would kind of like to see more of
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: Von Miller. I know he's getting old, but. I think
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: I heard that he's only playing 20% of the snaps.
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: So maybe try to get him a little bit more
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: involved and try to get some pressure on the quarterback.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Sounds good. All right, thanks for the call, Nate. You know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: of those 20%, I mean, how much of those snaps
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: have been really noticeable? You know, I mean, that's part
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: of it, too. It's like with anything. You want to
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: play more? I mean, you know, it's just like with
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: your kids, you know. You want to give them. You know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to give you three slices of pizza
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: before you eat one. You know what I mean? Like,
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: show me you can eat one. Show me you can
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: make some plays out here before we give you more.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: I understand the rhythm and that kind of part. But,
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: you know, I haven't seen a lot of him in
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: a lot of great production. And you're going to mention
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: the 0-9 game against New Orleans. I mean, you have to. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Wasn't sure if he was going to play anymore. Wasn't
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: sure if he was going to walk. I mean, like, honestly,
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: it was that scary. You just don't know. You know,
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: walk around with the thumbs up. You just hope the
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: guy's okay as a person. Not less. Six days later,
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: you're going to go out and sack Drew Brees twice
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: to win the game. It's unbelievable. You know, it's one
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: of the greatest moments in my time covering the Cowboys
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: was what DeMarcus did in those six days for sure.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: All right, Sergeant Sue in Fort Worth.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Hey, everybody.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: How you doing, Nick?
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: Hey, good.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: What's up?
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: Hey, brother.
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: I was wondering, because my philosophy has changed on this
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: since the first quarter of the season has gone.
• 17:41
  Speaker 13: So, basically.
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: Davian kind of touched on it earlier with how the
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: offense has been performing, how the defense has been performing.
• 17:49
  Speaker 12: Davian mentioned that he kind of wanted a fast start
• 17:51
  Speaker 12: from the offense, go out there, put some points in.
• 17:53
  Speaker 12: I kind of am taking the opposite stance on that now.
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: I kind of feel like Dallas needs to be more
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: conscious of sticking to the run and trying to make
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: sure that they protect the defense, which I had a
• 18:04
  Speaker 12: conversation with Sebastian earlier in the season. I didn't believe that,
• 18:07
  Speaker 12: and I've grown to believe that. just basically because Dallas
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: hasn't shown consistency on offense to be able to run
• 18:13
  Speaker 12: up scores like we were hoping that they would. I've
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: mentioned it before, Gotti hasn't Gottied. They haven't really been consistent,
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: so I can't really lean on that philosophy when they
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: haven't been able to show that they can do that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 12: Of course, they haven't shown that they can run the
• 18:24
  Speaker 12: ball consistently either, but in doing that, I do feel
• 18:27
  Speaker 12: like they could shorten the game a little bit by
• 18:30
  Speaker 12: at least trying. Also, it only takes one player. linebacker
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: to shoot the wrong gap or, you know, one defensive
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: end to not to crash down and not contain for
• 18:39
  Speaker 12: a running back to bounce outside and get a long
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: run or for a running back to hit a lane
• 18:42
  Speaker 12: that shouldn't be there and get a long run. So,
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: so basically my question is how much should protecting the
• 18:47
  Speaker 12: defense affect the way Schottenheimer is calling the game in
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: your opinion? Thank you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: Great, great point. And you know, that's, there's, there's so
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: many ways that you can skin that cat really, because
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: you can talk about, you know, let's shorten the game and, and, And,
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: you know, do whatever you've got to do to kind
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: of keep them off the field and keep their high
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: potent offense on the other side off the field. The end,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: you know, to me, it's always been what's getting you
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: in the end zone? Like, what do you do to
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: get in the end zone? Because if you can play
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: ball control and run it here for five and then
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: you've got tight end for six first down, you know, four.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: For another run, first down, you know, and maybe you
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: got 12 yards here and all that. If you can
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: kind of do that and that's fine, that's better for
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: your defense. And, you know, and that's great. But ask
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: yourself this. Do you want a 12? 80-yard drive that
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: took up six minutes and Aubrey kicked a 27-yard field
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: goal because he got down there and he kind of
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: messed around? Or do you want four plays, 80 yards,
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: minute and a half, 52-yard touchdown by CD, and then
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: you're kicking off you know, with the seven-point lead or whatever.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know what I mean? Like, you've got
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: to figure out how to get in the end zone
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: one way or another. And so, yes, if you can
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: do it this perfect way, if you can just draw
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: it up, yeah, it'd be great. But it doesn't always
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: work that way, you know what I mean? And so,
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: and I say it all the time, it's just not
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: one way to do it. And within a game, within
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: a quarter, it's not just one way to do it,
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: you know? Can you imagine, I mean, go down and
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: start the game and you went 12 plays and 80
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: yards and you scored a touchdown and Javante got six
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: carries and, you know, you hit the tight end, hit
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Ferguson two or three times. And so, you know, the
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: defensive coordinator is like, all right, all right, we know
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: what they're trying to do. I got it. And then
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: you come out in the next drive and it's seven
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: to three and you come out the next drive and
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: you're like, all right, we're not going to let Javante
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: do this. It's just play action over the top to CD,
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: 57 yards, you know, or pickings or whatever. And so
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: you come back the next drive and you do those
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: kind of things. So you want to be able to
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: do everything. That's what I think a great offense is.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: You want to have a slugfest? Yep, we can do it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: We'll run it. We'll do it all day. You want
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: to score? You want to be 40-37? We can do
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: that too. That, to me, is the best type of team. Football, basketball, baseball,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: you know, to be able to have a shootout, pitching duel, basketball,
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: close game, you know, tight, you know, slow it down
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: type game, or fast break. The best teams in all
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: of sports can win multiple ways, and that's what I
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: think the Cowboys have got to figure out how to do.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: Let's see if we can go one more caller here
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: before break. Yes, Michael, Bowling Green.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: I'll take the four plays, 80-some yards for a touchdown myself.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: All right. I've got one thing to say and then
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: a prediction. I'm going to let you go to break.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: I believe the Cowboys playing Sunday night, I believe they
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: need to get the ball to start the game and
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: do that four yards or eight, four play, six play,
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: seven play, whatever, get a touchdown, get the lead, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: put Green Bay down to start and then try their
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: best to get the ball at the end of the
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: second quarter and score a touchdown before the half. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: know your philosophy is different, and I respect that. I'll
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: just give you my humble opinion.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: You mean my philosophy on deferring?
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: I know you like to try to get this touchdown
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: at the end of the first half and get the
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: ball back. I just think right now with the way
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: the defense, I just personally think we need to drive
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: the ball and score a touchdown. and have the lead
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: before the defense even comes out. That's all. That's all.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: And I've seen it against Tampa Bay.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: This is a good point.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: No, I'm just saying, you're right. I don't necessarily go
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: for that double dip so much about that, like, wow,
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: you've got to score at the end and then score.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: I mean, I see when it happens that way, yeah,
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: it can be very advantageous. But I like having the
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: ball to start the third quarter regardless. If I'm up 10, cool. Cool.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: Pour it on. If I'm down 10, hurry up because
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: you got to go down and score quick. You know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: like they were down 10 in Houston. They had the
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: ball coming out. And I'm telling you, there were people
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: that hadn't gotten their food and sat down yet before
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: the Cowboys had cut into that lead. And so that
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: was big. I always just want the ball to start
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: at third quarter. In this case, though, Michael, I actually
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: want to see the Cowboys start on defense first. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: want them to win and defer because I– Going down
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: and scoring a touchdown, yeah, that would give them some confidence,
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: but we're all going to be like, all right, let's
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: see what this defense has. You kind of expect it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: Go score. Buckle up. Let's see what the defense has.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: But imagine the feeling of the whole team and the
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: whole fan base. Kickoff. There's still smoke out there because
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: they do some fireworks and crap. You can't even see
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: the first drive of the game. And all of a sudden,
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: it's incomplete here and a sack. And next thing you know,
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: they're punting to interpret a decent field position and That's
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: what I want. That confidence. I want to see that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: That's what I think would give the most confidence to
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: the team and fans.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: That's a good point, too. Yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: I'm going to give him a score.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: I'm going to give him a score. I'm going to
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: go 31-28 Dallas. All right.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: I like it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: Thanks.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: All right, Michael. Good stuff. I say this all the time, though.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: I'm going to say it. I can say it every show.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: Your opinion is undefeated. It just is. So sometimes I
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: disagree with it. It's just healthy. It's fine. I know
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: we've been talking a little bit. There's been some people
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: that are messaged a little bit about a call from
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: last week or whatever, and I'll address Rob from Vegas.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: I'll say this. Opinions are always undefeated. I don't disagree
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: with people's thoughts. Sometimes I think, well, okay, I don't
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: agree with the thought actually, but I don't think, well,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: you're wrong everybody's right in their opinion uh we just
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: have we just come from different perspectives and so um
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: but i always want to reiterate that like even michael
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: says i don't want to get i want to get
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: the ball cool this particular sometimes i do sometimes you
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: know i kind of thought that against tampa it didn't
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: really work so anyways uh i do i do want
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: to point that out though that i i i love
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: when people call in and they they have their you
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: know they're thinking outside the box and different things. Don't
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: always agree with it, but I appreciate the effort. All right,
• 25:48

  Speaker 8: How you doing?
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 27:28
  Speaker 13: I'm doing good, man. Hey, quick, quick special shout-out to
• 27:30
  Speaker 13: the guys in the chat like Jack Burton who show
• 27:32
  Speaker 13: up to every single show every single week and, you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 13: keep you guys' engagement up. You know, you got to
• 27:37
  Speaker 13: appreciate the guys who are doing it in the chat, too.
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 13: And shout-out to Sergeant Sue, my boy. I know you
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: just shouted me out. But when he says we were
• 27:43
  Speaker 13: having a conversation, it was more like I was assaulting
• 27:45
  Speaker 13: him with about 84 very long text messages during the
• 27:48
  Speaker 13: Ravens game about pacing.
• 27:51
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: I like that dude, man.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: During the Ravens game?
• 27:55
  Speaker 13: During the Ravens game in Rio. I have a thing
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: about pacing. And I think several people have actually mentioned it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: And it's because I watch a lot of games outside
• 28:04
  Speaker 13: of the Cowboys games. A lot of fans are very Cowboys-centric.
• 28:07
  Speaker 13: But I study the opponents that we're going up against
• 28:09
  Speaker 13: every week. And I'll go back and watch all their
• 28:11
  Speaker 13: games and see how these teams are playing each other.
• 28:13
  Speaker 13: And I realize that Schottenheimer has an issue with patience
• 28:17
  Speaker 13: and pacing. And I don't know if it's him and
• 28:19
  Speaker 13: I don't know if it's Dak who's checking out of
• 28:21
  Speaker 13: the run plays and going to so many pass plays,
• 28:23
  Speaker 13: but he has fallen on the sword for Dak at
• 28:25
  Speaker 13: times and vice versa. But at the end of the day,
• 28:27
  Speaker 13: you have to realize you have more than just two stars.
• 28:30
  Speaker 13: Williams is also a star on this team. We paid
• 28:32
  Speaker 13: him like it as well. He can run, but the
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: biggest problem is that you have to realize Williams is
• 28:36
  Speaker 13: not a speedback. So you can't keep running him out
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: of the shotgun. And what happens is he wants to
• 28:42
  Speaker 13: have the option to always pass. So if you run
• 28:45
  Speaker 13: out of a run formation and you can pass out
• 28:46
  Speaker 13: of the run formation instead of always trying to run
• 28:48
  Speaker 13: out of the pass formation, the pacing of the game
• 28:50
  Speaker 13: will change and we'll have more time of possession. As
• 28:54
  Speaker 13: for the defense, Mike Pettin was on the team with
• 28:57
  Speaker 13: Mark Sanchez that got him to the AFC Championship back-to-back years.
• 29:00
  Speaker 13: You can say chicken or the egg, whether it was
• 29:02
  Speaker 13: Ryan or Mike Pettin, he was calling the plays. So
• 29:04
  Speaker 13: let's hope that he can bring some of that over here.
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: Like I said earlier, the biggest disappointment for me wasn't
• 29:10
  Speaker 13: Christian Parker because last year all we heard was, hey,
• 29:13
  Speaker 13: just give me the ball back. Just give me the
• 29:15
  Speaker 13: ball back and give me a chance. This team and
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: the defense, yeah, they're 32nd, but this year is different
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: because they have been getting you the ball back and
• 29:22
  Speaker 13: the offense hasn't been cooking. They've been burning down.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: The kitchen sometimes.
• 29:25
  Speaker 13: So I need to see them get a balance and
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: strike a chord, and we don't need a number one defense,
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: number five defense. We need them to get out of
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: the bottom of the basement into that middle of the
• 29:35
  Speaker 13: round where we're consistent. The issues are a lack of discipline.
• 29:39
  Speaker 13: and I don't think that that's something that we can
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: change in four days with Mike Patton coming in. So
• 29:44
  Speaker 13: I'm going to have to pick against us this week.
• 29:46
  Speaker 13: Normally I go with the heart. Today I'm going to
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: go ahead and go with the mind. I'm going to go,
• 29:49
  Speaker 13: because Christian Watson, even though he doesn't have a 1,000-yard season,
• 29:52
  Speaker 13: he always gets a big play per game. I'm going
• 29:55
  Speaker 13: to go with 28-21 defense. heartbreak touchdown in Green Bay.
• 30:01
  Speaker 13: Until they can prove to me that they can stop
• 30:03
  Speaker 13: giving up the big explosive plays, I can't trust the defense. Nick,
• 30:07
  Speaker 13: you guys, everybody that's been calling the show has been
• 30:09
  Speaker 13: doing a great job. You guys have been doing a
• 30:10
  Speaker 13: great job. We appreciate you for coming on here, even
• 30:12
  Speaker 13: when we're irritating and stuff like that and listening. You
• 30:15
  Speaker 13: have a great day.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Sebastian. I appreciate that. And that's an honest
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: question with, you know, very detailed on a lot of
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: the comments there on the, on the offense and how,
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: you know, the difference there of running the ball and always,
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: you know, always having that option to pass. Patience and pacing,
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: as you were talking about, you know. When you say that,
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: I think about me as a fan, you know, watching, like, Arkansas,
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: you know, on Saturdays, which, you know, I don't have
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: any patience. And I'm doing a lot of pacing around the,
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: you know, even broke my remote the other day, but
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: that's fine. It usually doesn't go into the second half.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: for me to even have a close game and so
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: I but you guys are dealing with the same stuff
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: I mean I understand like like being a fan like
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: that's that you know I know I mentioned that sometimes
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: about you know with my team but it I think
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: it helps me relate with you guys because you know
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: I grew up as a big cowboy fan and I
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: want them to win every game and you know because
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: it's certainly but it's a different it's different when you're
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: in the press box it's just it's just different Um,
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: and so you, you just, you evaluate this thing, you know,
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: completely different, but I can relate to you guys because
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: I'm still a fan of teams, uh, and other sports.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: And so, um, I, you know, I do have sympathy.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: I have sympathy towards, you know, when, when these tough games,
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: these losses and it, it sucks, it just sucks. And it's,
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: it's hard. It's hard when you, when you, you just
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: have so much hope. And then all of a sudden,
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: you know, you lose a game and then you, You
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: can't do anything about it for six days or seven days. But,
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: you know, I like Thursday because I can kind of
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: hear the excitement in the voices about, you know, Monday
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: or we lost on Friday or whatever the Friday loss was.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: But you get to Thursday and you're like, all right,
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: you know what, we do this, we do this, and
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: that's what football does. It just kind of sucks you
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: back in. It's a vicious cycle, but I wouldn't want
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: it any other way. I know this guy feels the same.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Chris in San Angelo, what's up?
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: Mr.
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: Nick, you doing all right, bud?
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Doing good.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: Doing good.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: I'm doing great. Thank you, man. You know, I wasn't
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: available to catch the show yesterday, live or call in.
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: So maybe that was the problem there.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: It was on me.
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: So I feel a little responsible.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: But anyway, I loved it. I loved Sergeant Sue's question.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: I was going to ask because I was going to
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: ask almost the same thing, but what I've.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: Decided to do is kind of change it a little bit.
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: Well, not a lot, actually. If there is a player
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: on defense that will.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: Rise up.
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: The rest of the season, become like a stud pass rusher,
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: who do you think it would be? And I'm going
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: to say my guess is would be Malachi Lawrence just
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: because I want it to happen.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: And so I was going to see what you thought
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: about that. And then I was going to leave, uh,
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: I'm not packing it up this, this early in the season, Nick,
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: I'm going to take the Cowboys 33 to 24 and bingo.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: We got it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Got it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: All right. It's a good question, Chris, about, you know, if,
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: if there is somebody and it, If there's not somebody, then,
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: you know, this is going to be a problem. It's
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: going to be a problem. And somebody has to step up.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: They got to have a dude. I mean, it'd be
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: nice to have three or four of them. But you
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: got to have somebody. And if somebody's going to step up,
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I would think, you know, it would just go off
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: of experience and history. And I would say Rashawn Gary,
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: I think, could get there to that point where he
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: kind of gets into a rhythm. Hey, what a great
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: way to start. you know, how about, how about go
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: back to, uh, green Bay and him and Kenny Clark,
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: both they, they, they are due to have a big
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: game and what better place for them to do that,
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: that go back to green Bay. And, you know, this
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: is the, the, their team traded them, you know, now,
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: and Mike came back to Dallas and he, he played,
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: you know, I thought he played a Decent game. I
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: don't think he played a great game. But, I mean,
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: he made a pretty big tackle there on Dak, if
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: I remember. That could have changed that whole game. But
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: I'd love to see those two guys. But I think
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: Gary is somebody that could make a big splash. You know,
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: I forgot which caller earlier in the show was talking
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: about Petten and Christian Parker. It might have been Davion.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: It might have been Travis. Nate from Albuquerque was right
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: around there. And I had a point I was going
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: to mention about Petten. And what I like about this
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: move is you bring in just a consultant. Let's say
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: the head coach is like, hey, you're doing okay. You're
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: doing okay. We can get better. I got this guy.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: I'm bringing him in. You'll like him.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: It'll work.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: I want you guys to meet and all that. Well,
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: that just seems like a recipe for disaster, right? But
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: I bet that happens a lot when you bring in guys.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: Coach is like, I'm about to get fired here if
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: this doesn't work out, so I'm going to bring this.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: I know this guy. He'll come in, and you'll just
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: have to work together. In this particular case, Mike Pettin
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: actually hired Christian Parker as his very first job. He
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: knows him. And so he wants Christian Parker to succeed
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: because he was one that kind of said, hey, I
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: think this guy's got something. So I guarantee you, he
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: wants nothing more than having some success from Christian Parker.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: So that right there, that's what I believe. And so- That,
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: I think, has a chance to have a really good dynamic.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: Because now Christian Parker, because he's been touted as like,
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: this guy is boy wonder. He's going to be great.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: He's good. He's already got it figured out. And he don't.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: He knows he doesn't. You still got, you know, it's
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: different when the bullets are flying. But now you got
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: a guy that's got your back, that you can lean on,
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: and he wants you to succeed. He wants you to
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: be the one. That's why I think this has a
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: chance to be a pretty good situation for because it's
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: not just anybody that they're bringing in. They're bringing in
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: someone that I think is a cheerleader for Christian Parker,
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: and I think it can go both ways there. All right.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: Rick in Webster, Massachusetts.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Hey, Nick. How are you doing?
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: I'm good. How are you doing? You all right, Rick?
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: I'm all right. I'm recovering from a sinus cold. All right.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: And I just got done with an audio appointment, so
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I haven't listened to anything. So I figured, oh, it's time.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Let me just call in and see if I can
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: get in.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: You got it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: Floor is yours.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: What's up?
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I'd say I like the, you know, the advisor
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: position with Mike, with Pitt.
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: And, yeah.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Like you said, I liked what I heard from Shottie
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: the other day about getting more snaps to Malachi Lawrence.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: So we'll see how that works out better. We'll just
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: see what the practice reports are with Speed and Overshawn
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: and Ravel and all that. We'll go from there. But
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: I think it's a very close game. I think I
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: have Cowboys 28 to 25. Okay.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: Sounds good.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: That would be a good fun game. All right, Rick.
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: Hope you feel better. Let me go to break here
• 38:01

  Speaker 6: all right josh in chicago is next josh what's.
• 39:28
  Speaker 17: Up hey man uh besides rooting for the chicago white
• 39:31
  Speaker 17: socks and hating ketchup on the hot dogs the most
• 39:33
  Speaker 17: chicago thing about me is probably how much i hate
• 39:35
  Speaker 17: the green bay packers i cannot stand that team or
• 39:38
  Speaker 17: their fan base we need to bury them.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: This weekend where where do you put from a hate
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: hate standpoint, I don't know if you hate anyone, I
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: don't know if that's in your vocabulary, but does Aaron
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: Rodgers rank up there high with that?
• 39:53
  Speaker 17: Probably, you know, I mean, I just dislike him for
• 39:58
  Speaker 17: other things like his hosting on Jeopardy and stuff like that,
• 40:01
  Speaker 17: but man, he always had our number and he always
• 40:04
  Speaker 17: had the Bears.
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: Number, which is just crazy.
• 40:07
  Speaker 17: Not that I'm a Bears fan. I care about the Bears.
• 40:10
  Speaker 17: I don't root for the Bears, though.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: All right, well, what's it going to take to get
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: the Cowboys' third win ever, ever in Lambeau Field, ever?
• 40:21
  Speaker 17: So, actually, real quickly, I just want to say something.
• 40:24
  Speaker 17: I'm not trying to call out other storyliners, but I
• 40:26
  Speaker 17: do got to say something to my brother, Lester, up north.
• 40:29
  Speaker 17: When I'm advocating for 22 personnel, it's not because of trickery.
• 40:33
  Speaker 17: It's because I think that mismatches are important in this game,
• 40:35
  Speaker 17: just like they are in chess. So I just want
• 40:37
  Speaker 17: to say that real quick. What it's going to take
• 40:39
  Speaker 17: to win, we got to get some takeaways. You know,
• 40:42
  Speaker 17: I heard Dron Bland saying that he wants to get
• 40:44
  Speaker 17: a pick six. He's going to silence fans. I don't
• 40:46
  Speaker 17: necessarily need Dron Bland to do that because I don't
• 40:48
  Speaker 17: need him pressing. I just need him to not give
• 40:50
  Speaker 17: up a third and 21. What I need is I
• 40:52
  Speaker 17: need Quinn Williams and Barham and Caleb Downs to start
• 40:57
  Speaker 17: forcing some fumbles again. I need that type of pressure
• 41:00
  Speaker 17: coming back, right? So I think takeaways are going to
• 41:02
  Speaker 17: be really important in this game. They always are, but
• 41:04
  Speaker 17: I think especially in this game, getting those extra possessions
• 41:07
  Speaker 17: are going to be really important.
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it. You know, I think about that third
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: and 21 a little bit. One of the issues I
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: have with that, and I think about this, too, with
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: the Hail Mary plays. I'm if I'm a defensive coordinator
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: and the ball is at midfield, there's four seconds to
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: go and you know where this ball is going to go.
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: You're down by four or five, whatever. I'm going to
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: throw it to the end zone like. I just don't
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: like sitting back and just saying, all right, here he comes.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: He's going to run around and then he sets his
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: feet and throws it. Now it's just a sea of
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: hands up there. Like, no, forget that. I'm going to
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: just pressure. I mean, I'm going to put six guys
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: back here, five. One of them is probably going to
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: be Pickens because I think he's going to jump higher
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: than everyone else. But I'm going to also rush five
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: or six. The middle will be open, and we're going
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: to have to tackle there because you're not going to
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: set your feet and throw it. Same with third and 21. Like,
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: Bland needs to be sitting at 10, 12 yards and
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: not letting him go back any further than that. And
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: the reason why is the ball's got to get out.
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: So you've got to make sure you get the ball out.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: So that's what I guess my point is on third
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: and long, this whole sitting back, leaving everything open, and
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: just letting the guy, you know, find his own space.
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: Screw that. Get after the quarterback and make a decision early.
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: And then you're going to have to tackle. They're going
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: to dump it off to a tight end, dump it
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: off to a receiver. You're going to have a little
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: bit of room. Everyone get to the ball and bring
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: the guy down. Just tackle the guy. Don't sit there
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: and play back and let Deron Bland go 25 yards
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: and then let him catch it right there at the 21.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: Jalen Daniels should have been pressured way more in that game.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: And yes, he can break some and run and all
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: that stuff, but he's also going to panic and throw
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: it to you and all that. So this team is
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: going to have to generate pressure that way. And don't
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: just sit back and hope that good things happen. All right,
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: Arthur in Spring, Texas.
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: Arthur. Good morning, Nick. How are you doing?
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: I'm good. How are you doing?
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: I'm doing well, sir. I... I, like a lot of
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: Cowboys fans, I'm always hopeful, and I'm always of the mindset,
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: let's win every game, even though I know that's not realistic.
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: But the point that I wanted to make is this,
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: is that you can't, we can't have both. We can't
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: have a win-now attitude, and we have all these new
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: components on defense and expect to be I mean, serious
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: contenders right out the gate. Now, does luck follow every
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: once in a while? Yes, it does. And I prefer
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: to think more along a positive line that bringing in
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: this guy as an assistant to, or as a consultant,
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: that this is going to help Christian Parker overall. So, again,
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: that's how I prefer to look at it. Agreed. I
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: feel as though that if we do better overall than
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: what we did last year, as far as our record
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: is concerned, then that's a step in the right direction.
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: I know Jerry said that time is right. He sees
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: the time, the sand flowing out of the hourglass. I
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: understand that. And it may not be just for him
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: to be able to see another Super Bowl. I don't know.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: But I know this, is that in order for us
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: to build a team, a team that's consistent and winning,
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: it's going to take time. And that's just my viewpoint
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: on it. As far as the score is concerned, God,
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: I absolutely hate seeing it. But I think 28-31 Packers.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: Appreciate that. You know, Arthur, you're not wrong about things
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: are going to take time. And one of my biggest
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: pet peeves about fans in general or Cowboy fans and
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: all that, it's just like, well, there's been nothing but time, right?
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, how much more time do you need? It's
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: been 30 years, right? That's what every game, every season
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: is 30 years, 31 years. It just keeps counting that way.
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: It's not this team's problem. You can put it on
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: Jerry if you want. Most people do. That's the way
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: to do it. That's the way that you can complain
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: about it. But, you know, it's, you know, this team,
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: this coaching staff, you know, they're trying to build something.
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: And they don't have a 30-year drought. They don't have
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: a drought. They're trying to build this. And so I
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: think that's what happens is every game, every loss, it's,
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: you know, we're looking at it like, oh, he's not
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: the guy either. Okay, next. You know, it just doesn't
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: work that way. All right, Dylan in Northport, Florida. Dylan.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: How you doing?
• 46:19
  Speaker 11: Hey, I'm doing good.
• 46:19
  Speaker 13: How are you?
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: Good. Good. Good.
• 46:22
  Speaker 11: I was looking at some stuff here. I was looking
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: at some of the calls. Where do you think Dallas
• 46:26
  Speaker 11: ranks right now in their deep ball percentage on offense?
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: Like how often they throw.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: The deep ball?
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, where do they rank?
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: 27th?
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 46:36
  Speaker 11: Close, yeah, 30th. They just don't throw the ball deep,
• 46:38
  Speaker 11: which is crazy with the weapons that they have.
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is crazy.
• 46:41
  Speaker 11: But I think it's because they can't run the ball.
• 46:43
  Speaker 11: I think that's what that comes down to. There's no
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: threat of the run, and.
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: The safety is sitting back deep. You saw the Texans
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: play cover for all game, and teams just aren't letting
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: them do it. So they're forcing you to do these
• 46:55
  Speaker 11: 12-play drives like you mentioned earlier, but you're getting those
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: 12-play drives through short and medium passes. I mean, you're
• 47:01
  Speaker 11: not really running the ball. So Green Bay is not
• 47:04
  Speaker 11: great at stopping. They're ranked 22nd in rush play success
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: on defense. So if you want to do it, now's
• 47:10
  Speaker 11: the time to commit to it and do it. But
• 47:12
  Speaker 11: at the same time, you can't sit there and bash
• 47:14
  Speaker 11: your head against the wall if it's not working, too,
• 47:16
  Speaker 11: because you can't sit here and go three and out
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: and three and out. So, like, we all want to
• 47:19
  Speaker 11: run the ball, and they have to run the ball
• 47:21
  Speaker 11: because you can't be one-dimensional. But it's like it's such
• 47:24
  Speaker 11: a tight rope to walk because when is the point
• 47:27
  Speaker 11: where you're like, I got to pick up some first downs.
• 47:29
  Speaker 11: I got to put some points on the board. Like,
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: you know what I mean? He's in a difficult position because–
• 47:34
  Speaker 11: I looked at the drives from last week, and it's
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: like when they tried to run the ball after that
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: first drive, it was negative two, two, negative one. So
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: they weren't running the ball well, and I think that's
• 47:43
  Speaker 11: why they got away from it at the end of
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: the day.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: But, you know, all that said, I think.
• 47:48
  Speaker 11: They still have to try to commit to it this week.
• 47:49
  Speaker 11: They've got to try to get the Packers off the field,
• 47:50
  Speaker 11: like Sue was talking about earlier. And, you know, Vegas
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: has this as a one-and-a-half-point game. Vegas is usually pretty
• 47:56
  Speaker 11: correct in their analysis.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:59
  Speaker 11: Which is kind of crazy. I feel like it should
• 48:01
  Speaker 11: be more inverted towards the Packers' favor in my eyes,
• 48:04
  Speaker 11: but it's not. So I'm going to say the Cowboys
• 48:06
  Speaker 11: cover the spread, but they lose 28-27 to the Packers.
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: It's going to suck.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: We're all going to cry.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: And it'll be some kind of game management issue, right?
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: You know, right?
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you don't win a close game like that,
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: there's something you could have done differently.
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: Because he attempted a 70-yard field goal before, you know,
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: with 30 seconds left in the half and lost and
• 48:27
  Speaker 11: gave them three points.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Something stupid.
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: Something really stupid is going to happen.
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: We'll see. Yeah, usually does. All right, Dylan, appreciate the call.
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: Thank you. You know, some of the– that you're talking about, too–
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: I think they've run the ball okay. I don't think
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: it's a necessarily can't run the ball. There's been times
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: where they've run it, but not to the consistency, obviously.
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: They run it into the goal line, so they've done
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: a good job there. I kind of think not having
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: a more dynamic tight end, and I'm not saying you
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: can have everything, but if you did have a tight end,
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: because you're going to play this defense that you're giving up,
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: you're not going to allow big plays. Well, and you're
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: not running the ball that well, something's open there in
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: the middle. And that's where you, you want that tight
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: end to just work the seam 15 yards, 22 yards, right?
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: You know, just be able to work that area. And
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: you just don't have that really don't have that. And again,
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: I'm not, I'm not trying to say offenses, you know,
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: needs more, but I'm just saying they do have a
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: tight end. They have a couple. You wish they had
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: a little bit more of that element because I think
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: that's one that would make you have to really play honest.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: You're not taking away everything because if you're leaving this
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: middle open, then we're going to exploit it with tight
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: ends or maybe even underneath routes, Flannoy and that kind
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: of stuff. Anyways, good show, guys. We'll do it again tomorrow.
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: Got 12 callers. Got a first-time caller again. Hopefully, we'll
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: keep a streak going and get another first-time caller tomorrow.
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: All right. Until then. For Chris Beam, I'm Nick Eatman.
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: We'll see you tomorrow on Cowboy Storyline.
