- 0:09Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:12Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:22Speaker 4: What's up everyone, Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm your host,
- 0:25Speaker 4: Nick Eatman here Thursday, October the third, and we want
- 0:30Speaker 4: to hear from you. As always, it's your show to
- 0:33Speaker 4: kind of sound off a little bit. I know yesterday's
- 0:36Speaker 4: show was interesting, especially.
- 0:38Speaker 5: At the end.
- 0:39Speaker 4: I gotta remember, everyone's got different, different thoughts on on
- 0:42Speaker 4: how this thing should be done. I'm just here to
- 0:45Speaker 4: kind of facilitate that. I'll give mine every now and again.
- 0:48Speaker 4: But obviously it's a show to have some fun and
- 0:51Speaker 4: see what different takes we can come up with them. Man,
- 0:54Speaker 4: we can come up with some some good ones.
- 0:56Speaker 5: All right.
- 0:57Speaker 4: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
- 1:00Speaker 4: He's taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers. We talked about it
- 1:05Speaker 4: last yesterday, just on on the rivalry between the two teams. Uh,
- 1:09Speaker 4: it's always going to be there, I think anytime you
- 1:12Speaker 4: you you you know, these are the two teams.
- 1:13Speaker 5: Of the seventies.
- 1:14Speaker 4: I always have this theory that if if there was enough,
- 1:17Speaker 4: if we go to a city that did not have
- 1:19Speaker 4: football in the seventies, they're gonna be a huge you know, uh,
- 1:24Speaker 4: a group of Cowboy fans there and Steelers for sure.
- 1:26Speaker 4: So you know when we go to like Indianapolis they
- 1:29Speaker 4: didn't have team in the seventies, and Arizona obviously, uh,
- 1:33Speaker 4: you know, and then some of the Carolina Jacksonville's all those,
- 1:37Speaker 4: you know those you're looking for a team, why not?
- 1:39Speaker 4: Why not the Steelers? Why not the Cowboys? And and uh,
- 1:42Speaker 4: that's what Mike McCarthy said yesterday. You know, he's from Pittsburgh.
- 1:45Speaker 4: He calls him Tony dorseip. Uh, that's what they called
- 1:48Speaker 4: him in Pittsburgh. But he said, you know, it was
- 1:50Speaker 4: like a staple for them. You watch the Steelers at
- 1:52Speaker 4: one o'clock. You watched the Cowboys at four, uh Eastern time.
- 1:56Speaker 4: But but that's uh, and those were those were the
- 1:58Speaker 4: two teams. So still always fun when they do play
- 2:02Speaker 4: each other. All right, we got a couple of callers
- 2:04Speaker 4: already on the line. Let's get right to it. Let's
- 2:05Speaker 4: go to Michael Bowling, Green Kentucky starters.
- 2:07Speaker 5: Off.
- 2:08Speaker 6: How are you doing this morning?
- 2:09Speaker 7: Now?
- 2:10Speaker 5: I'm good?
- 2:10Speaker 6: How are you hey? Sorry I cut you off the
- 2:13Speaker 6: other day. I don't even remember you mentioned at the
- 2:17Speaker 6: end of the show, but hey, this Sunday, that song
- 2:23Speaker 6: would definitely been be true waiting all day for a
- 2:26Speaker 6: Sunday night. Yeah, so be looking forward to that.
- 2:31Speaker 5: There we go.
- 2:32Speaker 6: But there was there was a couple of things. I
- 2:34Speaker 6: asked you the other day and you told me, you know,
- 2:37Speaker 6: I called it enough. I could. I could research them.
- 2:39Speaker 6: I couldn't find anything. The uh the season ticket holders.
- 2:45Speaker 6: I looked and looked. I couldn't find an evidence that
- 2:48Speaker 6: was true. And uh, let's just say it is, okay,
- 2:52Speaker 6: all right, sounds good, sounds good. I don't I don't
- 2:55Speaker 6: even remember what the other one was now, but I
- 2:58Speaker 6: just wanted to go off on something real quick. I
- 3:01Speaker 6: think Beach's kind of funny. So Sunday night, let's get
- 3:05Speaker 6: rowdy to watch the game, and the Cowboys get beat
- 3:10Speaker 6: by four touchdowns. My prediction though, Dallas thirty one Fitts thirteen.
- 3:17Speaker 4: Okay, if you did not watch yesterday's show, nobody has
- 3:20Speaker 4: any idea what you're just talking about.
- 3:21Speaker 5: I know, yeah, yeah, I get it, all right, you.
- 3:24Speaker 6: Say thirty one ten, Yeah that's all I got. All right, Hey, I.
- 3:28Speaker 5: Appreciate it, all right, Thanks. I guess who was that call? Yesterday?
- 3:33Speaker 5: We had a caller from Colorado Springs. He called. It
- 3:36Speaker 5: was kind of all over the map. It was funny.
- 3:37Speaker 4: He started off funny call, and then his frustration just
- 3:41Speaker 4: kind of boiled over, and he's basically just said, I
- 3:43Speaker 4: think the Cowboys are going to lose forty to fourteen
- 3:46Speaker 4: or something like that, but let's get Rowdy's what he said.
- 3:49Speaker 4: You know, that's more I thought about that. I mean,
- 3:53Speaker 4: like you can still love your team and think they're
- 3:56Speaker 4: going to get beat, you know, or get crushed. I mean,
- 3:59Speaker 4: I guess I'm that way. I mean, I feel like
- 4:00Speaker 4: my college team Arkansas is gonna get beat by Tennessee.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I don't know by crushed, but you know, I mean,
- 4:05Speaker 4: but but yeah, I mean that's that's possible. It's just
- 4:09Speaker 4: that that the call took a kind of a weird
- 4:11Speaker 4: turn yesterday. So it was funny. But all right, let's
- 4:14Speaker 4: go to Anthony and Miami. I know where he's going
- 4:16Speaker 4: to be.
- 4:18Speaker 8: Quick.
- 4:19Speaker 5: What my god, what's up?
- 4:23Speaker 7: What's up? Do you want to know how feeling? You
- 4:25Speaker 7: want to know how feeling?
- 4:26Speaker 4: Well, I know how you're feeling. Are you feeling pretty energized?
- 4:28Speaker 4: That's how you're feeling.
- 4:29Speaker 7: Yeah, let me let me, let me, let me, let
- 4:31Speaker 7: me give you a little let me sing it to
- 4:32Speaker 7: you a little bit. Let me think, because there's your
- 4:33Speaker 7: song involved in this. This is how I'm doing. And
- 4:38Speaker 7: it's Thursday now, A mon storyline with Nick King Chris
- 4:43Speaker 7: saying I'm doing that's fine.
- 4:48Speaker 5: You can't get any better than that. You can't if
- 4:51Speaker 5: I if I wasn't.
- 4:52Speaker 4: In a good mood, which I am, but if I wasn't,
- 4:55Speaker 4: I certainly would be. Now that is awesome. What I want.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Next time I want another.
- 5:01Speaker 7: I'm gonna give you nothing. I'm gonna give you another verse.
- 5:04Speaker 7: That happened to be the song I finished my day
- 5:06Speaker 7: on on my USB on my Flaners drive yesterday. It
- 5:09Speaker 7: was sitting right there, but I didn't listen, and I
- 5:11Speaker 7: was like, God, I got a call in after that
- 5:13Speaker 7: guy yesterday. I'm not putting them out there, but man,
- 5:16Speaker 7: you took everybody down. Brother. I had to chill my
- 5:19Speaker 7: boy up. That was the whom I love. Anyway, that's good.
- 5:23Speaker 7: Let's talk about the childboy.
- 5:26Speaker 5: That's great, all right.
- 5:28Speaker 7: I got twenty four nineteen coiwdboys, and this is how
- 5:36Speaker 7: I think the cowboys can win, you really will need
- 5:39Speaker 7: your offense to step up. I mean, I know bringing
- 5:42Speaker 7: is out, but everybody, you know, I heard a lot
- 5:44Speaker 7: of callers acting for Ryan Floord noing, So you probably
- 5:48Speaker 7: get Ryan Floyd on a little bit. Hopefully he could
- 5:49Speaker 7: step out, so I would see the and Ferguson and
- 5:52Speaker 7: all of them, and you're gonna probably have to protect that.
- 5:54Speaker 7: Of course, I don't. The running game is gonna be
- 5:57Speaker 7: what it is if you fix it. If you do better,
- 5:59Speaker 7: you do better. But just s max protect a little bit,
- 6:01Speaker 7: you know, guard the TJ. Wats side, because now you
- 6:03Speaker 7: don't have that defensive tackle like Lawrence where you gotta double.
- 6:07Speaker 7: So go back to the mouth Garrett theory. You know
- 6:09Speaker 7: what I'm saying, double them up, you know what I'm
- 6:10Speaker 7: saying or whatever, and you know, let that cook. That's thirty.
- 6:15Speaker 7: To be honest, I'm just trying to, you know, be
- 6:17Speaker 7: a little bit model Modeston or whatnot. And I'm on defense.
- 6:21Speaker 7: Hey man, clog up that middle again, that's all. Hey,
- 6:24Speaker 7: your corner's gonna have to just show out, It's say,
- 6:26Speaker 7: just gonna have to help out. Clog up that middle. Baby.
- 6:28Speaker 7: You cannot let Pittsburgh get no one fifty, they get
- 6:31Speaker 7: a hundred, Oh will they get one hundred ninety seven
- 6:33Speaker 7: whatever if you win, but I don't let them get
- 6:36Speaker 7: one fifty. And that's how we'll win. Man, that's my score.
- 6:38Speaker 7: You know. I love y'all boys, So that's what it is.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Next week, all right, love it all right, Anthony good stuff,
- 6:44Speaker 4: bringing the energy for sure, bringing some music. And you
- 6:48Speaker 4: know he knows this. I guess that I've said it
- 6:50Speaker 4: several times. You know, most people don't come up with
- 6:53Speaker 4: a favorite favorite movie, favorite player of all time, whatever,
- 6:57Speaker 4: favorite whatever. It is hard to come up with because
- 7:00Speaker 4: there's so many options or whatever. Favorite song. For me,
- 7:04Speaker 4: it's it's always hands down, it's always been this is
- 7:06Speaker 4: How We Do It. That is my favorite song of
- 7:08Speaker 4: all time for many reasons.
- 7:11Speaker 5: Uh.
- 7:11Speaker 4: And but you know, anytime, anytime you can have the
- 7:15Speaker 4: lyrics kind of changed to have me in there and
- 7:18Speaker 4: Chris too.
- 7:19Speaker 5: That was pretty awesome.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Love it, love the energy, Anthony, loved the enthusiasm, all that.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Let's keep it rolling in the Florida uh, in the
- 7:26Speaker 4: state of Florida with Dylan in north.
- 7:27Speaker 5: Port, Florida.
- 7:29Speaker 9: Have you on?
- 7:30Speaker 5: Are you all right?
- 7:32Speaker 10: Makes some of Anthony's energy, though.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Yeah, are you gonna sing? I mean what I mean,
- 7:37Speaker 4: there's the standard. You know what I mean, that's what
- 7:39Speaker 4: That's what Mintel said. There's a standard of this is
- 7:42Speaker 4: how we do it. And you know what, Anthony brought
- 7:44Speaker 4: the standard. So Dylan, what's up? You got any bars?
- 7:47Speaker 10: What's the what's the official beer sponsor of the Dallas couvit?
- 7:50Speaker 10: I need some of that before I starts singing whatever
- 7:52Speaker 10: that is.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Well, that would be Miller Lite with Miller Cores. I
- 7:55Speaker 4: guess that they're partners, so Cores and Miller, but it
- 7:58Speaker 4: does start with Miller, so Miller Cores.
- 8:00Speaker 10: Yeah, any of that works for me, but I need
- 8:02Speaker 10: about three of those before I start dropping some bars.
- 8:04Speaker 5: So nice, nice, all right. I'd like to see that
- 8:06Speaker 5: and I hear that. All right. What do you guys doing?
- 8:09Speaker 10: Yeah, Colvin is talking earlier this week and I mentioned this.
- 8:12Speaker 10: I want to get your thoughts on too. A lot
- 8:15Speaker 10: of complaints about the Cowboys pass offense and the short routes,
- 8:18Speaker 10: the hitches and the plants and all that stuff. And
- 8:21Speaker 10: I don't think it's like a lack of creativity. I
- 8:24Speaker 10: think what's the issue is is that teams are sitting
- 8:26Speaker 10: back in Melkiper's favorite too high shell coverage all day.
- 8:29Speaker 10: They're not letting you push the ball down the field,
- 8:32Speaker 10: and you know, the cow you can't run.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I mean, it's what it always comes down to. It
- 8:39Speaker 4: always comes down to the fact that you can't run.
- 8:41Speaker 10: And it's against light boxes, which is more troubling that
- 8:44Speaker 10: the Cowboys are facing more light boxes than anybody else
- 8:46Speaker 10: in the league and they can't run the ball. So
- 8:48Speaker 10: nothing's going to change until I can fix So I
- 8:50Speaker 10: don't want any trades for any receivers. I don't want
- 8:53Speaker 10: It doesn't matter who you're putting in. None of that's
- 8:55Speaker 10: solved until you fix the run game. And I think
- 8:56Speaker 10: it'll get better as the season goes on from a
- 8:58Speaker 10: run blocking.
- 8:59Speaker 9: Standpoint, But we got to figure out their running back situation.
- 9:01Speaker 10: We got to figure that out in a hurry. Yeah,
- 9:04Speaker 10: Steelers over Cowboys. I'm taking this week. Too many injuries
- 9:07Speaker 10: on the defensive line makes me nervous. Twenty seven to
- 9:10Speaker 10: twenty Steelers, all right, all.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Right, don't got cut off quick on that, all right? Yeah,
- 9:17Speaker 4: I mean it's a it's chicken and egg, you know.
- 9:20Speaker 4: Can they not run? Can they not sow deep?
- 9:23Speaker 5: You know?
- 9:23Speaker 4: Because they can't run. They're not running, you know, because
- 9:29Speaker 4: just just the way that the defenses are playing them.
- 9:32Speaker 4: I mean that you're right though, they're not like loading
- 9:34Speaker 4: up the box that they're just stopping it with bass.
- 9:38Speaker 4: Now you say our receiver wouldn't come in here and
- 9:40Speaker 4: help with that, maybe he would, you know, if he
- 9:45Speaker 4: was somebody that that scared defenses a little bit more.
- 9:50Speaker 4: You know, I think one way or another, they're going
- 9:53Speaker 4: to have to figure out how to get the ball
- 9:54Speaker 4: down the field. The teams are just sitting. They're just
- 9:58Speaker 4: sitting on the routes they're they're they're not letting. They're
- 10:02Speaker 4: not letting them. You know, they're sitting on the short stuff.
- 10:05Speaker 4: They've got the safeties deep. They've got to figure that out.
- 10:07Speaker 4: And that's why I think Ferguson's going to continue to
- 10:10Speaker 4: do well over the middle. But they have to extend that.
- 10:14Speaker 4: You know, it's not a fifty to fifty ball anymore.
- 10:17Speaker 4: When you throw it deep, it's not either he catches
- 10:19Speaker 4: it or it's incomplete.
- 10:20Speaker 5: It's not.
- 10:21Speaker 4: There's you have to factor past interference, especially the way
- 10:25Speaker 4: they call it now, and I think you have when
- 10:29Speaker 4: you throw the ball deep forty yards.
- 10:31Speaker 5: Down the field.
- 10:32Speaker 4: I think there's a there's a better than fifty percent
- 10:36Speaker 4: chance that the ball is going to be there at
- 10:37Speaker 4: the forty yard line, either he catches it and or
- 10:41Speaker 4: it's p I I think that's better than fifty percent.
- 10:44Speaker 4: And what are the other percentages?
- 10:47Speaker 5: Bat it down?
- 10:48Speaker 4: Okay, interception not great, not great, you know, but could
- 10:53Speaker 4: be almost like a punt if you can get the
- 10:55Speaker 4: guy tackled there. So not the worst things in the
- 10:58Speaker 4: world of throwing the ball deep getting it down there,
- 11:01Speaker 4: be careful. Make if Fitzpatrick's pretty dang good, he's he's
- 11:04Speaker 4: back there waiting. But either way, I still think they've
- 11:08Speaker 4: got to do that. They've got to figure out a
- 11:09Speaker 4: way to open things up a little bit more. And
- 11:12Speaker 4: that that means, you know, if it's if it's in
- 11:14Speaker 4: Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks Turpin about you know, Turpin does
- 11:18Speaker 4: a lot of east west stuff. How about some north
- 11:21Speaker 4: you know, I mean, he can he can get down
- 11:22Speaker 4: there too. So anyways, one way or another, they're gonna
- 11:26Speaker 4: have to try to push the ball down the field.
- 11:28Speaker 4: The lines are open right now eight eight eight eight
- 11:30Speaker 4: five five two two nine seven. You know what, not
- 11:33Speaker 4: too early to take our first break. Get one knocked out,
- 11:35Speaker 4: get it out of the way. Let's do that here
- 11:36Speaker 4: on Cowboys storeline. Will be right back to take more calls.

- 13:24Speaker 5: I already had a few calls. Energy seems pretty high.
- 13:27Speaker 5: I like it. Let's keep it rolling here. We got
- 13:29Speaker 5: a first time caller. We got Brian.
- 13:31Speaker 4: He's in the DMV which is over there with Maryland, Virginia, DC,
- 13:35Speaker 4: that whole area there.
- 13:36Speaker 5: Brian, what's up?
- 13:37Speaker 7: Hey man?
- 13:38Speaker 13: What's going on?
- 13:38Speaker 7: Man?
- 13:39Speaker 5: How you doing? First time?
- 13:41Speaker 13: Yes, sir, first time?
- 13:44Speaker 5: Here we go here we go, Here we.
- 13:46Speaker 13: Go, here we go. That's it.
- 13:47Speaker 5: What's up?
- 13:49Speaker 7: Hey, man?
- 13:49Speaker 13: I just wanted, you know, talk about you know that,
- 13:52Speaker 13: the whole running thing. Man, I think they should bring
- 13:55Speaker 13: Dalbn Cook up. Man, see what he got?
- 13:58Speaker 5: You think?
- 13:58Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 13:59Speaker 13: I think I think the should because one, I feel
- 14:01Speaker 13: like we're not using the duce fan to its advantage.
- 14:04Speaker 13: Like if I'm going to use I'm going to use
- 14:07Speaker 13: him as a as a slot receiver because of his quickness.
- 14:11Speaker 13: How how shitty he is?
- 14:15Speaker 4: Hey, I mean, you're you're the preacher, I'm the choir.
- 14:20Speaker 4: Everyone else is there too, like we're with you. I
- 14:23Speaker 4: don't know what the what the problem is. Yesterday Dalvin
- 14:26Speaker 4: Cook did not practice. He was sick, and of course
- 14:30Speaker 4: that just how many jokes do you think came from that?
- 14:33Speaker 9: You know?
- 14:33Speaker 4: Oh, sick of what, sick of being on the practice squad,
- 14:36Speaker 4: sick of it being asked when he's gonna play.
- 14:38Speaker 5: Blah blah blah blah.
- 14:39Speaker 4: Either way, I don't think he's gonna play this week.
- 14:41Speaker 4: But I don't I don't have an answer for you.
- 14:43Speaker 4: I'm tired of that one. I don't know, because I
- 14:46Speaker 4: would imagine you're lasting the league in rushing you you
- 14:49Speaker 4: brought him in to see if he could help you,
- 14:51Speaker 4: and you need some help. I'm with you. I can't
- 14:55Speaker 4: imagine this is going to go on too much longer,
- 14:57Speaker 4: but we'll see. I don't know what what's holding them back,
- 15:00Speaker 4: and really don't.
- 15:01Speaker 13: And then and then it's also and then it's also,
- 15:04Speaker 13: I mean, we have a we have a good receiving corps.
- 15:09Speaker 13: You gotta you gotta get Cooks. You gotta keep Cooks cooking.
- 15:13Speaker 9: You don't.
- 15:13Speaker 8: He don't have that speed for no reason, you know
- 15:16Speaker 8: what I'm saying.
- 15:16Speaker 13: And I mean I hear age and all that, but
- 15:19Speaker 13: Cooks still got it. You know, we can't just try
- 15:22Speaker 13: to lay everything on the line for CD. I mean,
- 15:25Speaker 13: that's where we beat ourselves in the head at because
- 15:27Speaker 13: it's just like whenever they're doubling and tripling CD, then
- 15:31Speaker 13: now we got to force the ball to other receivers.
- 15:33Speaker 13: Let's get everybody acclimated and let's you know, get the
- 15:36Speaker 13: ball moving so everybody because everybody's shadow and then focusing
- 15:40Speaker 13: on CD because that's what we say all day, CD,
- 15:43Speaker 13: CD CD. Well CD is just not the team. And
- 15:46Speaker 13: I love the guy, but it's just that it's kind
- 15:49Speaker 13: of like you know kind of been to me. It
- 15:50Speaker 13: feels like, hey, coaches, y'all kind of being stings you
- 15:53Speaker 13: with the ball. I mean, we got you're gonna line
- 15:55Speaker 13: them up. And then also you was turping in the
- 15:57Speaker 13: in the receiving cords like these are easy fixes without
- 16:02Speaker 13: this run.
- 16:03Speaker 4: Yeah, sounds familiar. I think I just said that about Turpin,
- 16:06Speaker 4: but you said that about Cooks.
- 16:08Speaker 5: He needs to cook.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Well, I mean the kitchen's closed right now, you know,
- 16:13Speaker 4: for him, at least temporarily. He's out for this game,
- 16:17Speaker 4: maybe next game. We'll see you through the bye. So
- 16:21Speaker 4: that's that's the story with Brandon Cooked.
- 16:23Speaker 5: He uh popped up.
- 16:24Speaker 4: On the injury report yesterday and sounded like a serious
- 16:29Speaker 4: situation for a little bit. I mean that they were
- 16:31Speaker 4: they were scary. It was they were scared about how
- 16:34Speaker 4: long he could be out. And anytime you're dealing with
- 16:37Speaker 4: any kind of infection that that that came from a
- 16:40Speaker 4: procedure that he did in New York. So he should
- 16:44Speaker 4: be you know that they're gonna try to get him better,
- 16:47Speaker 4: uh for the next week. You know, he's he's weak
- 16:50Speaker 4: to week right now. So uh, but he can't can't
- 16:53Speaker 4: count on him. He's not playing this week. We know
- 16:55Speaker 4: that no, no Brandon cooksh That means Jalen Tolbert's going
- 16:59Speaker 4: to have to step up, Jaylen Brooks, Ryan Flinoy, he
- 17:02Speaker 4: should be able to play. He sounded like he was
- 17:04Speaker 4: ready to go. Like you said, Turpin, they do have
- 17:07Speaker 4: to mix it around. He can't just lean on CD.
- 17:09Speaker 4: It doesn't even matter. You can't even say, well, we're
- 17:11Speaker 4: gonna this isn't the NBA where you're like, all right,
- 17:13Speaker 4: this guy's gonna take every shot. It doesn't work like that.
- 17:16Speaker 4: You can take players out of the game. It's can
- 17:18Speaker 4: be very very important for Tolbert to step up Ferguson
- 17:21Speaker 4: as well, and then anybody to run the ball. It's
- 17:24Speaker 4: not gonna be Dalvin Cook, it doesn't sound like, but
- 17:26Speaker 4: anyone else certainly would be great. All right eight eight
- 17:29Speaker 4: eight eight five five two two nine seven. Seems like
- 17:32Speaker 4: we've got some some lines that are open. We do
- 17:34Speaker 4: have right now, we have a caller Rick and Massachusetts
- 17:37Speaker 4: still keep calling Rick.
- 17:38Speaker 5: What's up?
- 17:39Speaker 14: Hi?
- 17:39Speaker 9: Nick?
- 17:40Speaker 14: How you doing good?
- 17:41Speaker 5: Are you?
- 17:42Speaker 15: I'm good? I was saying, it's great to see what
- 17:47Speaker 15: Florinoy can do in this game. Sure, And like you said,
- 17:52Speaker 15: you have two you only elevate two people from the
- 17:55Speaker 15: practice squad at one of them's Carl Laws and who's
- 17:58Speaker 15: the other.
- 18:00Speaker 4: You don't have to do anybody, but I mean you
- 18:04Speaker 4: got sixteen guys. I mean it could also be a
- 18:07Speaker 4: receiver if you wanted to. I mean you could you
- 18:10Speaker 4: could add another another receiver up there, just to have
- 18:13Speaker 4: a little bit more depth is to have more guys.
- 18:15Speaker 4: I mean, you got like three or four on the roster.
- 18:18Speaker 5: I believe Cropper would be one. Again.
- 18:21Speaker 4: I don't know if that's what they want to do,
- 18:24Speaker 4: but but it's possible you could do that. You could
- 18:27Speaker 4: you know, you know, you could bring another linebacker if
- 18:31Speaker 4: you wanted to do that. I may another pass rusher again.
- 18:35Speaker 4: I got to look and see who's all on the
- 18:36Speaker 4: practice squad. But you don't have to do that. But yeah,
- 18:40Speaker 4: lost In would be one for sure. And then after that,
- 18:44Speaker 4: to take your pick, there's like sixteen of them that
- 18:47Speaker 4: you could go with.
- 18:47Speaker 15: So okay, my score prediction would be it. I still
- 18:53Speaker 15: think of a Cowboys twenty three and the.
- 18:59Speaker 5: Steel all right, twenty three to twenty like it? Good stuff?
- 19:05Speaker 5: All right? Good?
- 19:06Speaker 4: You know, looking at this practice squad, how about a
- 19:09Speaker 4: guy like we.
- 19:10Speaker 5: Haven't even talked about him. He's a veteran.
- 19:12Speaker 4: What about a guy like Phil Hoskins, a defensive tackle.
- 19:15Speaker 4: I mean we're talking like six five three fifteen, so
- 19:18Speaker 4: he's a house But with the shifting going on, Goldston's
- 19:23Speaker 4: been playing kind of inside outside, He's going to have
- 19:25Speaker 4: to be more of a defensive end now, so that
- 19:28Speaker 4: that could be somebody that that you look at a
- 19:31Speaker 4: defensive tackle because of how they're moving people around the
- 19:35Speaker 4: receivers there. Wait, hold up, hold up, how about Amani
- 19:41Speaker 4: over Warier. He's a corner. I mean he only he
- 19:46Speaker 4: only like saved the game last week. He's still in
- 19:49Speaker 4: the practice squad. I wouldn't mind bringing him up again.
- 19:53Speaker 4: I'd like to see him over over Booth. So did
- 19:55Speaker 4: the Cowboys. They moved him at halftime of a game.
- 19:57Speaker 4: So I like him. He's a he's a veteran and
- 20:00Speaker 4: a smart player. Picked it up quick, got better and better,
- 20:03Speaker 4: got kind of knocked the rust off in the middle of.
- 20:05Speaker 5: The game, made it. Made it.
- 20:06Speaker 4: Didn't just make that interception there, he made another play
- 20:09Speaker 4: on the drive before when the Giants were driving in
- 20:12Speaker 4: there and then they had first down or you know,
- 20:14Speaker 4: and and they had a little hits to Wandelle Robinson,
- 20:17Speaker 4: who caught thirty two passes in the game. I felt
- 20:19Speaker 4: like and he he made a nice tackle for a
- 20:21Speaker 4: loss and it was a big, big play. Maybe it
- 20:23Speaker 4: wasn't Robinson, maybe it was the neighbors, but either way,
- 20:26Speaker 4: tackle for loss and that set up another stall drive
- 20:29Speaker 4: for them. They had to kick a field goal. So
- 20:31Speaker 4: he got better and better. I like, I like putting
- 20:33Speaker 4: him out there over Warri and I like just saying
- 20:36Speaker 4: that over all.
- 20:37Speaker 5: Right, got the calls are rolling in. Now here we go. Albert, Tucson, Arizona, Albert.
- 20:41Speaker 16: Okay, good morning, Nick, are my master?
- 20:43Speaker 5: How are you good morning?
- 20:45Speaker 16: Are doing good? Doing good? Thank you for asking just
- 20:49Speaker 16: two questions? You you you you got my defensive tackle.
- 20:55Speaker 16: Was just going to ask you about him. But also, uh,
- 21:00Speaker 16: the defensive tackle for the Giants. What do you think
- 21:05Speaker 16: about them letting him go?
- 21:08Speaker 5: And who are you talking about again?
- 21:11Speaker 16: The defensive tackle for the Giants? His name? Uh, Alexandre?
- 21:17Speaker 5: No, You've got me confused.
- 21:21Speaker 16: The big guy, the big guy that was that that
- 21:23Speaker 16: we just played for the Giants? Okay, making it making
- 21:27Speaker 16: a trade for him?
- 21:28Speaker 4: Oh, Jordan's you're talking about Jordan Phillips Giants. Oh, somebody
- 21:33Speaker 4: that's on the Giants roster.
- 21:35Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't.
- 21:36Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 21:36Speaker 4: You know, we we can't really talk about that kind
- 21:38Speaker 4: of stuff, on making trades on for specific players.
- 21:41Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't.
- 21:43Speaker 4: I don't know about that. I'm sorry, I thought you
- 21:44Speaker 4: talking about Ordan Phllips. Don't forget Jordan Phillips is on
- 21:46Speaker 4: I R. They just felt like his wrist needed to
- 21:50Speaker 4: have more more strength. He had some issues there. He
- 21:53Speaker 4: wasn't he wasn't to provide any push, you know. He
- 21:58Speaker 4: he obviously wanted to play, but they're like, hey, you've
- 22:01Speaker 4: got we got to get this thing a little stronger.
- 22:04Speaker 4: It's been what two games now, so you know that.
- 22:07Speaker 4: Don't forget about him. The Cowboys are not doing any
- 22:09Speaker 4: moves with him that they wanted him on IR bring
- 22:11Speaker 4: him back, So they're they're trying to hold down the
- 22:14Speaker 4: fort a little bit there. Again, we might see a
- 22:19Speaker 4: defensive tackle kind of moved up for this for this game,
- 22:21Speaker 4: or you know, they have some options, uh for sure,
- 22:25Speaker 4: So all right, but I don't think that I don't
- 22:26Speaker 4: think defensive tackle would be a position they're going to
- 22:28Speaker 4: go try. Well, they've already they've already done that. They've
- 22:32Speaker 4: added a little bit of of of tackle help. But
- 22:35Speaker 4: but I think you know, he can't just keep adding
- 22:37Speaker 4: adding players. I mean, I think I think you know,
- 22:39Speaker 4: the guys you've got, the guys you developed, are going
- 22:41Speaker 4: to have to step up and play for sure. All right,
- 22:43Speaker 4: let's go to Anthony. He's in New Jersey.
- 22:45Speaker 9: Anthony, Hey, Nick, how you doing a long time listener?
- 22:49Speaker 9: First time call. I appreciate you guys. You guys do
- 22:51Speaker 9: a great job.
- 22:55Speaker 5: Here we go.
- 22:55Speaker 9: I have a question about the Cowboys run game over
- 22:59Speaker 9: over the last two years. Is it is it scheme?
- 23:03Speaker 9: Is it not? It is this that they don't have
- 23:04Speaker 9: talent at the running back position or is it just
- 23:08Speaker 9: the old lines they're just getting They're just they're just
- 23:11Speaker 9: not winning their blocks.
- 23:12Speaker 14: I mean, yeah, it seems.
- 23:15Speaker 9: I just think that if this team could have somewhat
- 23:17Speaker 9: of a running game, it'll open up more in the
- 23:20Speaker 9: in the passing game for back in CD.
- 23:23Speaker 5: I totally agree. I agree.
- 23:24Speaker 4: I have a theory on that. I'll answer that after
- 23:26Speaker 4: your next question or point.
- 23:29Speaker 9: And just the whole branding Cooks thing. I mean, everybody
- 23:36Speaker 9: thinking Dalla should go out and get Davante Adams. People
- 23:39Speaker 9: keep saying that you watch all these ESPN shows. I disagree.
- 23:43Speaker 9: I don't think it will help. I think this team
- 23:45Speaker 9: needs help in other areas other than receiver. Yeah, they
- 23:50Speaker 9: do need another receiver, but bringing in Davonte Adams, I
- 23:53Speaker 9: really don't think it's a it's a good idea right now.
- 23:57Speaker 9: And you know, I just want I just want to
- 23:58Speaker 9: hear your opinion. But thank you so much for a call.
- 24:02Speaker 4: Yeah, I again, you know, just like the last caller.
- 24:05Speaker 4: And I this is the sticky point of this show
- 24:09Speaker 4: because I say it all the time. This is a
- 24:10Speaker 4: fans show, This is y'all's show. I really want y'all
- 24:13Speaker 4: to be able to open up and say things and
- 24:14Speaker 4: talk about some stuff. And and I get it. And
- 24:17Speaker 4: this is a topic that people are talking about. I'm
- 24:19Speaker 4: watching a show, I see it on ESPN right here,
- 24:22Speaker 4: and I see the same thing being talked about. And
- 24:24Speaker 4: I understand that the tough part for us, and I
- 24:27Speaker 4: hope people understand. It's just that when you when you
- 24:31Speaker 4: work for the team, and you start talking about scenarios
- 24:35Speaker 4: that everyone's talking about, and then if they did happen,
- 24:40Speaker 4: then it kind of can go back to the team
- 24:42Speaker 4: as like, wait, this was in the works all along
- 24:44Speaker 4: their their own shows.
- 24:45Speaker 5: We're talking about it. They're they're you know, they.
- 24:47Speaker 4: Talked about it on their website and so you know
- 24:50Speaker 4: this this is they've been they've been deing with this.
- 24:52Speaker 4: You know, they've been dealing with this, and it's tampering
- 24:54Speaker 4: and all that. So that's why I really can't get
- 24:57Speaker 4: into that. What I can talk about is need at
- 25:01Speaker 4: receiver or need at any position and what you should
- 25:05Speaker 4: go do to get that. So from a you know,
- 25:11Speaker 4: just just from my stance, I would say the Cowboys
- 25:17Speaker 4: should do need some help at receiver. I would be
- 25:20Speaker 4: open to any player out there, but I would say
- 25:26Speaker 4: that it has to have a view you have depending
- 25:30Speaker 4: on what you give up. You have to be able
- 25:32Speaker 4: to have some kind of vision for twenty twenty five.
- 25:35Speaker 4: You have to have some vision there. It can't just
- 25:38Speaker 4: be a rental player. So I'm laughing just because I mean,
- 25:44Speaker 4: it's everywhere, and I get it. Why wouldn't Why wouldn't
- 25:46Speaker 4: y'all talk about it? So I'd be open to any
- 25:49Speaker 4: player that's out there that is that their team wants
- 25:52Speaker 4: to trade, I would be I'd be fine with that.
- 25:55Speaker 4: I also think though, that you know it. It has
- 25:59Speaker 4: to work out as are, not only financially, but it
- 26:01Speaker 4: needs you need to be able to figure out, you know,
- 26:04Speaker 4: something for next year because you're giving away draft capital
- 26:07Speaker 4: and you really need that, you really need.
- 26:09Speaker 5: Those draft resources.
- 26:10Speaker 4: But if there's a player out there, I wouldn't be opposed.
- 26:13Speaker 5: To any of that.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I think I think the Cowboys need a shot in
- 26:17Speaker 4: the arm. I think the fans need it. I think
- 26:20Speaker 4: this season needs it, and I think I think you could.
- 26:23Speaker 4: You know, I'm not always big on mid season trades,
- 26:27Speaker 4: but I've seen them work. I've seen them not work,
- 26:29Speaker 4: but I have seen them work, and so you know,
- 26:31Speaker 4: I've seen them work with one specific player who also
- 26:34Speaker 4: is being talked about of coming back. Wouldn't be opposed
- 26:38Speaker 4: to that either. All right, let's keep it rolling with
- 26:40Speaker 4: Travis san Antonio.
- 26:43Speaker 17: Nick Capty. Thursday. You and Chris, what's going on, man?
- 26:45Speaker 5: How are you doing doing good?
- 26:47Speaker 17: End of the week. I heard that you get the
- 26:51Speaker 17: discussion that has been going on, and I know it's
- 26:53Speaker 17: been going on, of course, I'm sure you know, like
- 26:55Speaker 17: on Twitter and everything. Oh yeah, I kind of disagree
- 26:58Speaker 17: in the fact that I don't think we really I
- 27:01Speaker 17: don't think we really need wide receiver help. I think
- 27:03Speaker 17: we have plenty of weapons, to be honest with you,
- 27:07Speaker 17: I just think the we need to do. Mike McCarthy
- 27:11Speaker 17: and the staff need to do a better job of
- 27:14Speaker 17: putting those guys in a position to make plays, because
- 27:16Speaker 17: like I've seen people talking about already, you know, you know,
- 27:19Speaker 17: I know it's camp, but everyone again, it was camp,
- 27:21Speaker 17: and everyone was saying like, oh, Cooks is having a
- 27:23Speaker 17: great camp. Looks great, looks quick, looks fast, all this stuff.
- 27:27Speaker 17: And then four weeks they're like, yeah, this guy's washed,
- 27:29Speaker 17: he's lost his legs. Like, I don't think he's lost
- 27:31Speaker 17: his legs in four weeks. It's just he's doing a
- 27:33Speaker 17: lot of comebacks and curls. It's like, I know one
- 27:36Speaker 17: of his best routes, you know that David a fourth
- 27:38Speaker 17: was fort Worthers said, is his corner route. I don't
- 27:41Speaker 17: think they've used him in the correct way. And then
- 27:44Speaker 17: everyone and I get it. Everyone talks about Flora NOI
- 27:47Speaker 17: and bring him up, and it's like my point to
- 27:49Speaker 17: that is like that's great if you're going to use him,
- 27:52Speaker 17: because like you can't have turp and having a touchdown
- 27:55Speaker 17: in one game and then the very next game to
- 27:56Speaker 17: get zero targets right like that is my gay symps
- 27:59Speaker 17: to me. So I think it's more of a I
- 28:02Speaker 17: think we have the weapons, they just haven't quite gotten
- 28:05Speaker 17: in the groove of like being able to utilize these
- 28:08Speaker 17: guys in the right ways. So that's one point and
- 28:11Speaker 17: another point for the game this week. Is I'm looking
- 28:14Speaker 17: for is I'm curious if we see more of that
- 28:17Speaker 17: double a gap like look with both linebackers in the
- 28:21Speaker 17: A gap with overshown and maybe they can use him
- 28:24Speaker 17: a little bit as like a nickel rusher, not a like,
- 28:28Speaker 17: not a defensive end, but just in some pressure packages.
- 28:30Speaker 17: Maybe expand his role because I think, like you said,
- 28:34Speaker 17: I think he made the point a couple of days ago,
- 28:35Speaker 17: because I think it's too they're going to have to
- 28:37Speaker 17: heat him up a little bit and kind of mix
- 28:39Speaker 17: it up, you know, without having because you can't replace
- 28:42Speaker 17: Micah and Tank. So I just want to see what
- 28:45Speaker 17: you thought on those two points and have a great week.
- 28:47Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you.
- 28:47Speaker 4: I agree one hundred percent on Cooks win healthy again,
- 28:51Speaker 4: Cooks isn't healthy right now?
- 28:52Speaker 5: Thanks for the call.
- 28:53Speaker 4: Travis Cooks, is is you know when he when he
- 28:57Speaker 4: does get back. I think that they do need to
- 28:59Speaker 4: utilize him and in that way. Uh, he's not a
- 29:02Speaker 4: He's not a possession guy where he's gonna just catch
- 29:05Speaker 4: the ball and you know, in traffic and and then
- 29:08Speaker 4: break tackles and and go, you know, drag people for
- 29:10Speaker 4: first down.
- 29:11Speaker 5: I mean, that's not that's not his game. That's not
- 29:13Speaker 5: what he is.
- 29:14Speaker 4: He's not Jarvis Landry like that's the guy I think of,
- 29:16Speaker 4: you know that that type of guy.
- 29:18Speaker 5: He needs to stretch the field.
- 29:20Speaker 4: He needs to be a you know, a playmaker that'll
- 29:22Speaker 4: open up things a little bit more, you know for
- 29:24Speaker 4: the underneath self, the tight ends all that. So I
- 29:26Speaker 4: one hundred percent agree there, but you know that's that's
- 29:30Speaker 4: irrelevant right now and this week, next week because because
- 29:32Speaker 4: Cooks isn't going to be here, So those guys do
- 29:34Speaker 4: have to step up. Uh as for like overshown, uh I,
- 29:38Speaker 4: they've got to utilize their their their juice players. He's
- 29:41Speaker 4: one of them. He's a he's a he's a wild player, catalytic,
- 29:45Speaker 4: change game changer, needs to be that kind of guy,
- 29:48Speaker 4: needs to put them in situations where he can be
- 29:50Speaker 4: that difference maker. So I'm all for that and and
- 29:53Speaker 4: like I said yesterday, give them, give them, give fields.
- 29:56Speaker 4: I mean, this is going to be a look they
- 29:58Speaker 4: haven't seen. They just haven't seen it. Because the first
- 30:00Speaker 4: thing you do when you when you get to the
- 30:01Speaker 4: line of scrimmage as a quarterback, you have to find eleven.
- 30:04Speaker 4: You have to, I mean, if you're stupid, if you don't,
- 30:07Speaker 4: I mean, you have to find where Micah Parsons is.
- 30:10Speaker 4: And so he's not He's not there. So the point
- 30:14Speaker 4: is is they're going to have to have different looks.
- 30:16Speaker 4: Maybe Overshown is that guy that moves around a little bit,
- 30:19Speaker 4: like you said, not on the edge all the time,
- 30:21Speaker 4: but maybe sometimes he got to be able to show
- 30:24Speaker 4: some some versatility, you know. I mean, we didn't know
- 30:27Speaker 4: Parsons could do that until that Week two game against
- 30:29Speaker 4: the Chargers, when all of a sudden they rushed him
- 30:32Speaker 4: there and he was Everything changed for him and his
- 30:36Speaker 4: career just took off that day in LA against the Chargers.
- 30:41Speaker 4: So all right, good stuff, all right, let's go Rebecca
- 30:44Speaker 4: in Minnesota.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, your week everyone. I grew up watching the
- 30:50Speaker 2: Cowboys when Super Bowls in the nineties, already know how
- 30:53Speaker 2: important it was when he played the Steelers and using
- 30:56Speaker 2: that kind of into a transition. I would like to
- 30:59Speaker 2: just kind of talk about maybe some of the differences
- 31:01Speaker 2: between the coach Tomlin and then our coaches that we've
- 31:03Speaker 2: had over the last few years. I just don't think
- 31:06Speaker 2: that it's even comparable. I mean, we have these coaches
- 31:10Speaker 2: that are I still have been around the block a
- 31:12Speaker 2: way too long, and I know Tomlin's been there for
- 31:14Speaker 2: a while. However, we just I feel like we're just
- 31:17Speaker 2: rinsing and repeating with everybody, like I was so angry
- 31:21Speaker 2: when we got my Zimmer. I mean, why, why why
- 31:23Speaker 2: Law and mc carcy again why. I just I don't
- 31:26Speaker 2: feel like these are the types of coaches going forward
- 31:30Speaker 2: that are going to be that are with these teams
- 31:32Speaker 2: that are winning. They're young people, they're young coaches with
- 31:35Speaker 2: these great new ideas and these schemes that our old
- 31:39Speaker 2: coaches just don't even seem to have comprehension of how
- 31:42Speaker 2: to defend. And I just it leads to that clock
- 31:45Speaker 2: and time management.
- 31:46Speaker 14: It's I just.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Don't think that some of these small decisions that are
- 31:49Speaker 2: getting made are even on the same level. And even
- 31:53Speaker 2: if players were yet healthy and we were to get
- 31:55Speaker 2: rolling when it comes down to it, I just don't
- 31:57Speaker 2: think that we have this coaching staff that can just
- 32:00Speaker 2: put us over the edge. And that's kind of my thoughts.
- 32:03Speaker 2: I just don't know how anybody else feels, and just
- 32:05Speaker 2: kind of wondering what you thought about that going forward.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I do like Al Harris that we have. I think
- 32:10Speaker 2: he's great, going young. He seems to be some people
- 32:13Speaker 2: are a player or excusing a coach that players really
- 32:16Speaker 2: want to rally behind, and I kind of think I
- 32:19Speaker 2: just don't. I just feel like our coaches just are
- 32:22Speaker 2: not on the same level as some of these teams
- 32:24Speaker 2: that have been winning Super Bowls consistently.
- 32:26Speaker 8: So thank you, good day everyone, Thank you wow.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Bringing that bringing the heat I had ma Yetti, that
- 32:34Speaker 4: would probably be our hot.
- 32:35Speaker 5: Take of the week. It's good stuff.
- 32:38Speaker 4: I mean, I I can't I can't necessarily disagree with
- 32:43Speaker 4: you on that. I know there's a lot of there's
- 32:46Speaker 4: there's a kind of growing thought there that that maybe
- 32:49Speaker 4: they needed to adapt a little bit more of the
- 32:52Speaker 4: new styles, younger you know, concepts and things like that.
- 33:02Speaker 4: I again, I I like, I like, I like bringing
- 33:06Speaker 4: in Zimmer.
- 33:07Speaker 5: I thought that was that was fine.
- 33:08Speaker 4: The jury still out on that let's not forget some
- 33:11Speaker 4: of the injuries that that they've already had here and
- 33:13Speaker 4: and and again it's not excuses, they're they're the reasons
- 33:18Speaker 4: of you know, you can't just keep having multiple injuries
- 33:21Speaker 4: like that and and and think that it's going to
- 33:24Speaker 4: be fine. But you know, you you could make the
- 33:27Speaker 4: argument just even when they were healthy against the against
- 33:29Speaker 4: the Saints, that that they you know, they got out
- 33:32Speaker 4: schemed and out and out coached, uh in that game.
- 33:35Speaker 4: So again, one month into the season, jury still a
- 33:37Speaker 4: little bit on all of that. But hey, that's that's
- 33:40Speaker 4: a fair point. And and that's a and that's a thought.
- 33:42Speaker 4: You're seeing a lot of these young, innovative coaches and
- 33:45Speaker 4: and and then you kind of see coaches here that
- 33:47Speaker 4: are that are a little bit older, that have been
- 33:48Speaker 4: here before and come back and you know that does
- 33:52Speaker 4: sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't, you know, so we're
- 33:54Speaker 4: still going to find out if that is what's working
- 33:57Speaker 4: here for this team.
- 33:58Speaker 5: All right, let's go, let's go to Rob in Vegas. Hey, Nicky, Rob.
- 34:05Speaker 18: I totally agree with the last call.
- 34:07Speaker 9: Mike McCarty.
- 34:08Speaker 18: Yeah, I agree, especially on the offensive side. Mike McCarthy
- 34:13Speaker 18: doesn't scheme his players open. It's like he just says,
- 34:17Speaker 18: you line up and you make it happen. Where good
- 34:21Speaker 18: offensive coaches, no matter who the players they have, they
- 34:24Speaker 18: still try to scheme them open. And that's one thing
- 34:28Speaker 18: he doesn't do. And bringing in Zimmer may work, but
- 34:32Speaker 18: it probably won't because you're only giving.
- 34:34Speaker 9: Him a year.
- 34:36Speaker 18: Yeah, so by the time this team, you know, the
- 34:39Speaker 18: defense says, oh, I think I got it, he's gone
- 34:41Speaker 18: because they're all going to be gone. So that's that's it.
- 34:45Speaker 18: He was set up to fail immediately. You know, looking
- 34:48Speaker 18: at this game, they have to win this game. This
- 34:51Speaker 18: is the game they need and they should win, especially
- 34:55Speaker 18: when you see what's coming down the road, Lions forty
- 34:58Speaker 18: nine or Socas then going to be favored at any
- 35:01Speaker 18: of those games. Pittsburgh is adjust the fields, don't scare anybody.
- 35:07Speaker 18: He's a he's an average quarterback. So and Pittsburgh doesn't
- 35:12Speaker 18: score a lot of points. And I know we're missing
- 35:14Speaker 18: Micah and Lawrence, but you have to pull this game out.
- 35:19Speaker 18: This is this is where the offense needs to score
- 35:22Speaker 18: to me, twenty four to thirty points. It's time to
- 35:26Speaker 18: get turpin on the field. We're wasting this guy. You
- 35:30Speaker 18: know he's he may be a dynamic punt returner, but
- 35:33Speaker 18: he doesn't get the return punts. Everything's sick catches. He's
- 35:37Speaker 18: the only guy with juice out of the wide receiver group.
- 35:41Speaker 18: Get him in the slot, move him around. I don't
- 35:43Speaker 18: want to hear about doustal mort I definitely don't want
- 35:47Speaker 18: to see him in the slot. He's five foot five,
- 35:50Speaker 18: you know hard. It would be the deck, the finest
- 35:52Speaker 18: guy down the field. No, get turpin on the field.
- 35:57Speaker 18: You know, Losing Cooks may be a blessing in this
- 35:59Speaker 18: guy's because he's going to be back next year a
- 36:01Speaker 18: number one, number two. Let's see this young kid slaw.
- 36:04Speaker 18: NOI maybe bring some you know, juice to the field,
- 36:08Speaker 18: because that's what this offense has right now. They're just staggering.
- 36:10Speaker 18: They just look dull. The running game, you know, hasn't
- 36:15Speaker 18: been great, but they've been also getting blown out, which
- 36:19Speaker 18: takes the running game right off the table. And I
- 36:21Speaker 18: thought against the Giants they actually ran the ball good.
- 36:24Speaker 18: But Mike mccaby doesn't stick with the run. He says
- 36:28Speaker 18: we're going to run, but he's full of it because
- 36:30Speaker 18: he just doesn't stick with it. And I'm not talking
- 36:33Speaker 18: about running every down on first down, because that's one
- 36:36Speaker 18: thing I don't want to see. But I thought, Rico
- 36:39Speaker 18: and Zeke, we're running the ball good. Unfortunately our left
- 36:44Speaker 18: packer was getting holding calls on all the good runs.
- 36:46Speaker 18: So but no, this is a game they have to win.
- 36:48Speaker 18: I think they pull it out like a twenty four
- 36:50Speaker 18: to twenty victory. Yeah, because you have to win this game,
- 36:53Speaker 18: and then you have to hope you steal one of
- 36:56Speaker 18: the Lions forty nine ers a falcon the game. You
- 36:58Speaker 18: cannot lose this and then go into that. So I
- 37:02Speaker 18: could see it happened. Devanta Adams, I don't We don't
- 37:06Speaker 18: need Davanta. We already have Devanta Adams. Who's name is
- 37:08Speaker 18: cd Lamb. Now the other guy Amari Cooper. I know
- 37:12Speaker 18: he's not coming, right, but that's who you need. You
- 37:13Speaker 18: need a second guy that team say, hey, we got
- 37:17Speaker 18: to worry about this guy too. Where right now they're
- 37:19Speaker 18: not worried about anybody we have, So go get if
- 37:22Speaker 18: you're gonna make a move like that, go get a
- 37:25Speaker 18: good number two. We already have a great number one.
- 37:28Speaker 5: All right.
- 37:29Speaker 4: I agree with that call, Rob. I agree with just
- 37:32Speaker 4: about everything you said there. Yeah, and there's nothing to
- 37:37Speaker 4: really expand on that. I think you touched on all
- 37:39Speaker 4: all subjects in a matter of a couple of minutes,
- 37:42Speaker 4: like you, like the captain usually does. All right, that's
- 37:46Speaker 4: a good call to go to break on. Let's go
- 37:49Speaker 4: to break well, we got a couple more calls.
- 37:50Speaker 5: We can finish. The show will be right back here

- 39:30Speaker 4: up September, which also means they give out awards for
- 39:34Speaker 4: Players of the Month. And I know you guys wouldn't
- 39:36Speaker 4: think the Cowboys have one, but they do September Special
- 39:40Speaker 4: Teams Player of the Month. It's going to be announced
- 39:43Speaker 4: here in a few minutes. It is Brandon Aubrey. Surprise, surprise,
- 39:46Speaker 4: second time he's won this award, first time Cowboys history,
- 39:50Speaker 4: they've had somebody win a Monthly of Ward two times,
- 39:53Speaker 4: well deserved, of course. Twelve out of thirteen field goals,
- 39:57Speaker 4: he's hit two sixty yarders, including a sixty five yarder.
- 40:01Speaker 4: He's been amazing. His kickoffs have been amazing. Everything that
- 40:04Speaker 4: he's done other than that fifty two yarder with the
- 40:06Speaker 4: time running out and running down on the clock, which
- 40:10Speaker 4: I don't really put all that on him, but either way,
- 40:12Speaker 4: he's been he's been outstanding. He's kept him in games.
- 40:16Speaker 4: I mean, and yet you can say it here. I'll
- 40:18Speaker 4: pause for you guys that are at home to say it, okay,
- 40:21Speaker 4: because what you just said was, boy, it's really bad
- 40:23Speaker 4: when our best player is a kicker. Yeah, I get it. Yeah,
- 40:26Speaker 4: it's not great. It's not what you want. You don't
- 40:28Speaker 4: want him leading the pack. But you know what it's
- 40:31Speaker 4: it's pretty awesome when he is doing what he's doing.
- 40:34Speaker 4: Because these are close games, they're gonna stay close, and
- 40:37Speaker 4: you got to be able to have a guy make
- 40:39Speaker 4: your extra points, make your field goals in the thirty
- 40:42Speaker 4: forty range, and then when they try fifty sixty yarder.
- 40:45Speaker 4: He's making them. He's making them and not putting the
- 40:47Speaker 4: defense in bad situations. And then he goes and kicks
- 40:50Speaker 4: off and put them exactly where they want him to be.
- 40:52Speaker 4: So he's been as bad as perfect as you can be.
- 40:56Speaker 4: And in a season, in a league like this that's
- 40:58Speaker 4: designed to be equal, you gotta have your kick or
- 41:01Speaker 4: do that. He's done that, So shout out to him.
- 41:03Speaker 4: All right, Bob in Rio Grand Valley's our next.
- 41:06Speaker 8: Caller, Wanner, Nick, how you doing, buddy, Bob?
- 41:10Speaker 9: Great, great show, Thank you.
- 41:13Speaker 8: I want to go on the record as being in
- 41:15Speaker 8: total agreement with your last caller, and I'm talking about
- 41:18Speaker 8: the offense at Turping. Since we got him, this guy
- 41:24Speaker 8: had the potential to be a wide receiver, getting still
- 41:27Speaker 8: McCartney's reluctant to use him, and they just drugged their
- 41:31Speaker 8: feet and doing so. And finally now.
- 41:33Speaker 16: They're waking up.
- 41:34Speaker 8: Am I the only person in the world besides Nick
- 41:37Speaker 8: Harris that realizes that we've got a great asset on
- 41:40Speaker 8: that team that we're not anywhere utilizing one half of
- 41:44Speaker 8: his talent. And I'm talking about Hunter Lipke. You look
- 41:47Speaker 8: at what that guy did at South Dakota. They played
- 41:50Speaker 8: him as full back, they played him as half back,
- 41:52Speaker 8: they threw to him out of the back deal, they
- 41:54Speaker 8: played him as a tight end. Hell, they even played
- 41:56Speaker 8: him as a wide receiver. And the guy excelled everything
- 42:00Speaker 8: they ask him to do.
- 42:02Speaker 4: Time out, Bob. He was at North Dakota State. And
- 42:04Speaker 4: I only bring that up because so is Trey Lance.
- 42:06Speaker 4: And Trey Lance did all of those things as well.
- 42:08Speaker 4: Trey Lance was amazing. So I'm just saying there's a
- 42:12Speaker 4: difference in the competition.
- 42:14Speaker 5: And where you're at.
- 42:15Speaker 8: I understand that nobody, nobody's drafting. Let me tell you what.
- 42:20Speaker 5: Go ahead and tell me what.
- 42:22Speaker 8: If they will take and run this boy with the
- 42:25Speaker 8: ball out of the damn backfield, we will have our
- 42:28Speaker 8: problems to our running game solved. We won't be talking.
- 42:33Speaker 8: That won't be an issue next monthy, I promise you.
- 42:37Speaker 8: McCartney needs to wake up and come out of the
- 42:39Speaker 8: damn Stone Ages and join the twentieth fifth century, the
- 42:43Speaker 8: twenty second century, the twenty third century. But he needs
- 42:46Speaker 8: to get out of Stone Age with his play calling.
- 42:48Speaker 8: And with that, I have a great weekend, and thanks
- 42:52Speaker 8: for taking my call.
- 42:52Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 42:53Speaker 4: I don't like correcting people. But when I hear it twice,
- 42:56Speaker 4: and you know, I feel like I need to McCartney
- 43:00Speaker 4: was with the Beatles. McCarthy is the head coach at
- 43:02Speaker 4: the Cowboys. But that's okay. You know, I hear what
- 43:07Speaker 4: you're saying about Lipkey. I'm not disagreeing with you again
- 43:13Speaker 4: that he's I call him Thanksgiving. He just keep adding stuff,
- 43:16Speaker 4: put stuff on his plate. He's doing it all. He's
- 43:19Speaker 4: doing it every single time, and I think they're doing
- 43:22Speaker 4: it at the right pace. You know, he's now he's
- 43:25Speaker 4: doing a little bit of the tight end stuff. He's
- 43:27Speaker 4: going in motion, he's he's he's showing that he can
- 43:29Speaker 4: be an h back. He's getting the ball on the inside.
- 43:32Speaker 4: He got a little bit on a toss. You know,
- 43:35Speaker 4: he's still doing a special teams thing. It's it's working.
- 43:38Speaker 4: It doesn't necessarily mean that he needs to go get
- 43:41Speaker 4: fifteen twenty carries. And I just you know, I understand
- 43:46Speaker 4: that you could have made that argument and say, well,
- 43:48Speaker 4: Tony Ramo did that at Eastern Illinois, that doesn't mean
- 43:50Speaker 4: he's gonna be good. Well, it took him four years
- 43:52Speaker 4: to figure out the NFL and start playing. My point
- 43:55Speaker 4: is and Stephen Jones. I give Steven credit for what
- 43:58Speaker 4: he said on the radio the other day. They said, hey,
- 44:01Speaker 4: did you know that Hunter Loopkey could do this all
- 44:02Speaker 4: the time? And he said, no, we would have drafted him,
- 44:06Speaker 4: and somebody in the NFL would have drafted him if
- 44:09Speaker 4: they thought he could do all this. Michael Parsons is
- 44:12Speaker 4: not getting picked twelfth overall. If people thought he could
- 44:14Speaker 4: rush the edge like that, he would have been number
- 44:16Speaker 4: one or two or three. He'd been right there, because
- 44:19Speaker 4: that's that, you know, if you find players like that
- 44:22Speaker 4: and you know what they can do. So Hunter Lopkey's
- 44:25Speaker 4: he's actually shown the NFL world things that they didn't
- 44:29Speaker 4: think he can do, and they're slowly putting him in there.
- 44:32Speaker 4: Do you think he should be the running back the
- 44:34Speaker 4: full time? Maybe?
- 44:36Speaker 5: What else?
- 44:36Speaker 4: You got nothing else? It seems to work, So I'm
- 44:39Speaker 4: fine with it. But I'm just saying I wouldn't fault
- 44:44Speaker 4: the Cowboys for you know why they're not doing certain things.
- 44:47Speaker 4: This guy was not on the football team going into
- 44:50Speaker 4: the last preseason game. He was not on the team.
- 44:53Speaker 4: He was going to be on the practice squad last
- 44:56Speaker 4: preseason game of last year, last year, sorry, not this year.
- 44:59Speaker 4: Last year and his rookie year, he's been okay, you know,
- 45:02Speaker 4: he couldn't really stay on his feet. Sometimes goes last
- 45:06Speaker 4: game and he really he balled out, and they're like, okay,
- 45:09Speaker 4: we got to put this guy on the team. And
- 45:10Speaker 4: then he got better and better the year went on,
- 45:12Speaker 4: and then this year now they're creating more packages for him.
- 45:14Speaker 4: So you know, I let's don't rush the process so
- 45:18Speaker 4: much with him. You know, there's a reason he didn't
- 45:21Speaker 4: get drafted, but but and there's a reason he went
- 45:23Speaker 4: to North Dakota State all that stuff. But he's kind
- 45:26Speaker 4: of showing that he can handle it and he's proven
- 45:28Speaker 4: people wrong. And so I don't know if we have
- 45:31Speaker 4: to rush him. I don't know if that all this
- 45:32Speaker 4: makes sense. I just I like the progression that going
- 45:35Speaker 4: with him. Keep adding stuff to his plate, and and
- 45:38Speaker 4: it seems to be working. Maybe you know, now it's
- 45:40Speaker 4: it's it's five to ten carries a game. Maybe it's
- 45:42Speaker 4: a few more touches until he shows that he can't
- 45:45Speaker 4: do it.
- 45:45Speaker 5: And he did.
- 45:46Speaker 4: He fumbled in Miami. I get it, people fumbled. But
- 45:49Speaker 4: until he shows it that he can't do it, I'll
- 45:51Speaker 4: keep adding to it. I'm fine. All right, it's time
- 45:53Speaker 4: to turn the volume down a little bit because we
- 45:56Speaker 4: know what Ali and Florida is going to bring.
- 45:58Speaker 14: Good morning, sir, what up?
- 46:01Speaker 5: How are you buddy?
- 46:03Speaker 13: Pretty good?
- 46:04Speaker 14: I'm gonna have a couple questions for you. I don't
- 46:09Speaker 14: know the one you can talk about. That's fine. I
- 46:12Speaker 14: look at this game. Do you remember many few years
- 46:16Speaker 14: ago Jerry.
- 46:17Speaker 20: Jones said I'm tired of Romo driving the bus and means,
- 46:25Speaker 20: like the team, everybody going to pick up the own responsibility.
- 46:30Speaker 14: I look at this game. Our two best passwordher out
- 46:34Speaker 14: of the game, and I have a feeling we will
- 46:38Speaker 14: know what the rest of the team do without them too.
- 46:43Speaker 14: So it could be really that bring themselves out of
- 46:47Speaker 14: the shell and to play great game, or we will
- 46:53Speaker 14: know what we have with all them. So that's the
- 46:57Speaker 14: way I look at this game. I have a god
- 46:59Speaker 14: feeling Cowboy is gonna surprise Pittsburgh and what I'm the
- 47:04Speaker 14: best game I seen Zieg play. It was the last
- 47:08Speaker 14: time he was at Pittsburgh. It's just like, I know
- 47:11Speaker 14: you have a pride. I love Zick. I'm really hurt
- 47:17Speaker 14: to see him. I don't know his offensive line or that.
- 47:21Speaker 14: But having said that, question for you when you go
- 47:26Speaker 14: to Pittsburgh, do you go to the restaurant and eat
- 47:29Speaker 14: like they have a hermedi's brother or you and Chris
- 47:34Speaker 14: wandering around go have a nice restaurant to eat over
- 47:37Speaker 14: there while going to the game.
- 47:39Speaker 4: When not game time decision. You know, there's really not
- 47:44Speaker 4: a lot of planning going on there. I don't really
- 47:47Speaker 4: know yet. We haven't we haven't discussed what that is.
- 47:51Speaker 4: And it's not like this isn't Uck Start or Ventura
- 47:54Speaker 4: where you know we're there all the time, or even Philly,
- 47:58Speaker 4: you know, I mean this is kind of it's new
- 48:00Speaker 4: territory a little bit. We don't always go uh to
- 48:04Speaker 4: to Pittsburgh. So we'll figure something out. I mean we
- 48:07Speaker 4: always do.
- 48:08Speaker 5: It takes us.
- 48:09Speaker 10: If anyone wants to take us out to dinner, we're great, right, Yeah, always.
- 48:14Speaker 4: Depends who anyone is there. Chris, you know, I just
- 48:18Speaker 4: can't just I'm floating this out for everyone. Take me
- 48:21Speaker 4: out to eat. Please know there's there's we gotta be
- 48:25Speaker 4: careful with that. But no, to answer the other stuff,
- 48:30Speaker 4: you said that about the defensive line, and we're gonna
- 48:33Speaker 4: find out how they do without them. Yeah, we're gonna
- 48:35Speaker 4: find out we're gonna find out. I mean, last thing
- 48:37Speaker 4: you want to hear, you know, if you're not to
- 48:42Speaker 4: try to even remotely close to imitate the great Brad Sham,
- 48:46Speaker 4: but I mean, you don't want to hear him, you know,
- 48:48Speaker 4: making a call saying, you know, Fields back to throw, standing,
- 48:52Speaker 4: standing in the pocket, looking looking for receivers, Standing, gets
- 48:55Speaker 4: your cell phone out, sends a text message you know,
- 48:57Speaker 4: I'm check a lot of numbers, and then throws a pass.
- 49:00Speaker 4: You don't want that, Okay, you need to get to
- 49:03Speaker 4: his ass. That's what you have to do. You have
- 49:05Speaker 4: to get the fields right away.
- 49:06Speaker 5: You can't. He can't just be sitting back there.
- 49:09Speaker 4: And now that might be better than him taking off running,
- 49:12Speaker 4: but either way, you got to get after him. And
- 49:15Speaker 4: we'll find out if Carl Lawson and Tyrus Wheat and
- 49:18Speaker 4: kJ Henry the New and the New Guy and Goldston
- 49:21Speaker 4: and Overshown and whoever else. Jordan Lewis on the Blitz,
- 49:25Speaker 4: hey something, do something different than what you've seen, because
- 49:28Speaker 4: they're gonna have to create their own pressure. And I
- 49:31Speaker 4: thought Jordan Lewis said it perfectly earlier this week. He said,
- 49:34Speaker 4: we're not we can't replace these two. You can't replace them.
- 49:37Speaker 4: You have to supplement different creative ways to go and
- 49:40Speaker 4: get after the quarterback. And that's what they're gonna have
- 49:42Speaker 4: have to do. And I think, you know, it'll be interesting.
- 49:45Speaker 4: This is a This is gonna be a great matchup.
- 49:48Speaker 4: Like Rob and Vegas said earlier, you know you have
- 49:51Speaker 4: to go win this game, you know, he said, because
- 49:53Speaker 4: later games, you know you're gonna have to steal some wins.
- 49:56Speaker 4: I think this would be a good one to steal,
- 49:58Speaker 4: you know, if you're going to Pittsburgh. But that's my
- 50:00Speaker 4: worst joke that you'll hear today. All Right, sounds good
- 50:03Speaker 4: for Chris Beam, for all the callers. You guys did
- 50:06Speaker 4: a great job. We will be back tomorrow to wrap
- 50:09Speaker 4: up this week and give you one final preview of
- 50:11Speaker 4: the Steelers.
- 50:12Speaker 5: I'm Nick Keatman. We'll see tomorrow a Cowboy storyline see him.
- 50:15Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 50:18Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
