  Speaker 2: Cowboys This these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: What is up at this time for another Cowboys storyline?
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: I'm Nick Eatman here.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: It is September twenty first, Thursdays. The Cowboys get ready
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: for the Arizona Cardinals going out to Arizona this week
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: this weekend Sunday afternoon game. And let's get going. I mean,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: there's there's I mean a lot of people want to
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: talk about just this team in general, maybe not so
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: much about the actual Cardinals, but they are the next stop.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: They're the next stop.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: And you know, as Darren Woodson was on yesterday and
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: and I understand how fun that was. It's just me,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: just me today. But man, that was awesome for Darren
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: to stop by and and and talk to some of
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: you guys and and just answer some questions. He's so
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: down to earth, so real. There's always fun to do that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: And he said on the show. You you can you
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: can quote him. He said, I'll be back, So okay, Arnold, Uh,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be back, and I'm gonna call and see
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: uh when that will be. But but yeah, as he
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: said yesterday, you know they're they're professionals, they are and
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and and they're they're underdogs and they're they haven't won
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: a game yet, but they'll be scrappy that they're playing
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: hard and and uh, you know it'll it'll be a
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: fun crowd out there in Arizona. A lot of Cowboy
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: fans there. But when that happens, it raises the level
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: of intensity for the for the Cardinals fans. So it
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: will be like a Bowl game type type atmosphere. Should
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: be a lot of fun.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Always is.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: But but you know, the Cowboys haven't had a lot
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: of success there. I think they've won three out of
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: their last eleven games going to Arizona. So, uh, they
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: got to get that corrected, and this maybe the year
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: to do that. So uh, storylines for injuries we'll find
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: out here later on. Uh today they practice, but it
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: is trending better for this team right now. Tyler Smith
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: was able to practice uh yet some yesterday. Donovan Wilson
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: also was a full participant. Brandon Cooks is working himself
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: back in. Zach Martin did not practice, but they the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: thought there is that he should be pretty pretty good
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: for Sunday. Uh, they're just kind of letting him get
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: get ready for the game. So it should be should
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: be a good, uh good situation for the Cowboys injury wise,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: but you know what, we got to see how it goes.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: And I don't think that they're gonna they're gonna take
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: any chances. But I also don't think they're gonna look
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: at the opponent and anything like that and say, let's
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: rest guys. If these guys are healthy, they will be
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: out there and ready to go. All right, speaking, ready
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to go. We got callers, we've got to already on
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the line. We're gonna start in New Jersey. We got
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: James in New Jersey. What's up, James, No problem, I'm
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: doing good.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: I think most scholars started with interestingly, So mine is
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I lived next to the town that Miles Austin is from, Okay,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: So he's always one of my favorite Cowboys.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: For that, And you know he had some great moments.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Miles Austin, she sure did have some great moments.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: One in Kansas City, uh for sure. But yeah, he
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: was he was a really really good player. So he's
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: from what what was that Monmouth? Monmouth College that's where
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: he went.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: But he Winston Garfield High School. Okay, we had three
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: players in the NFL.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Well, I bet you could name them, but I can't.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: But Miles As it was by foreign investment.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: All right, what do you got?
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: James Dring Hell, Now he would have been a great
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: He wasn't great player.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: But no doubt hamstrings were tough.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: But actually I have two wide receiver questions.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: My first one is because they was in the same
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: off seasons, so I always linked them together with a
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: mistake moving on from Mary Cooper and then signing Gallup
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: with how Galas played the last too lose?
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll get let me let's get your second question
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: so we can clear up the line. But what's your
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: second question?
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: My second question is Gallup continues to shruggle. Do you
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: think they look to trade and bring in another light
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: receiver or they trust herpin in pulverd that much?
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: I cannot do it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, thanks for the call, James.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: A lot of receiver talk today, Miles Austin and Mari Cooper,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Michael Gallup. I don't The Mari Cooper thing is interesting
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: because it starts off a whole Domino effect that that
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: could change a lot of other things. So I think
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I think when you look back on it, I mean,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: there I'm sure there are some people over there in
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the front office and scouts that say, oh, it was
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a good decision, and there's others that say, now, probably not.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Still he's still playing at a higher level. And I
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: never liked the move. I mean, but there were some
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: things behind closed doors about that that that I think
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: there were some people that were kind of pushing for
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: this move more than anything, not so much about Amari
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Cooper is it was about Ceedee Lamb. That was the
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: number one thing that I always heard was they feel
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: like Ceedee Lamb is ready to take over, and he
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: he was, and he did. So when you look at that,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: and you look at the money that it was costing
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to pay Amari Cooper, you know, I think that they
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: decided to do it wasn't necessarily about Michael Gallup. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: think Michael Gallup's contract was more tied into uh Cedric Wilson,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: who was here and and and they decided not to
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: sign him. But but you know, they wanted to Gallop
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: in their number two spot and and and.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: That's what he's doing.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: So as far as him struggling and making moves, I mean,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I don't necessarily see that. I mean, the contract is
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: what it is, and I'm just not worried about my
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Michael Gallup. This is who Michael Gallup is. This is
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: who he is as as a person too. I mean
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: he he is an ultimate team player, maybe more than
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: you would want out of your wide receiver. Sometimes your
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: wide receivers you want them to be these diva guys
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: that want the ball all the time. They never get
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: it enough, and they're always complaining, they're always open, they're
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: always getting hell, they're always doing this and that. Michael's
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: not that way. He's really not. He takes what's there
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and in some ways you love that as a teammate,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: and then other times you wish maybe he had a
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: More, you know, a little bit more dog in him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: But but I think for the most part, he is
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: a He's a solid receiver. And as I said earlier
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: this week, teams are not going to play Ceedee Lamb
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: like this all year long. They're going to figure out
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: ways to try to limit him. And when that happens,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Cooks will step up, Gallup will step up. You'll find
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: out they're gonna be a little bit more open than
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you think. So I'm not worried about Michael Galla yet.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's time to move on or trade
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. All Right, Our second color is
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Jeff in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Jeff, what's up, Hey, good Man?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: How are you doing good?
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: Good? I'm doing very well. Mentally, I'm doing well. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: I'm going to say that on purpose because I'm going
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: to say that I think Dak is doing well mentally too.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: I think last year he had a lot on his
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: mind and no one talks about it, no one, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: I think it affected his play, and his mind is
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: in a much better place and he realizes that he
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: can't mentally, he can't mentally remain where he was last year.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: This is a guy that was a psychology major. He
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: understands how to think, he understands how to lead. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: the reason I'm saying all these things is, let's not
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: worry about Dak giving into the playoffs and falling apart.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: It's not gonna happen.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if it's gonna happen or not.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, we're not ready to talk about
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the playoffs yet anyways. But I mean, if it doesn't
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: go well, there's gonna be reasons why it doesn't go well.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: And and and that's people are going to point to
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: whatever they want.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: And if you know, not going to be that. It's
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: not that I can tell you what it not the
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: physical things that he deals with. But I'm just I
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: don't know, man. I've looked at people in ministry and
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: psychologically for forty years. I know what a person is
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: rich a certain resow. He's at that face. So if
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: he has a number of different issues and they never
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: make it to the playoffs, it won't be because of
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: this mental instability. It will not be that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: It won't be the yift is anybody?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Are people saying that? Are people saying that that that's
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: what it is? I thought he's that. I think he's
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: one of the mentally most like the toughest minded quarterback
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: or person you could ever have. Because whatever happens on
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: the field, any loss, any interception, anything that happens on
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the field is not even comparable to losing a family member,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: losing your mother, losing your brother. What I'm saying is
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: is that, like I, if anyone is really saying that
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: that's a joke to start with. Okay, this guy has
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: already gone through the toughest things you're gonna go through,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: So I yeah, if they don't, if they don't win
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: playoff games, it's not gonna because of that. So I
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: agree with you, and I think you and I are both.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I just don't know who's if people are saying that
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: it's it's probably the the thumb thugs on Twitter that
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: like this to say that that kind of stuff, because
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: there's no there's no basis behind that that that's ridiculous.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: He's as strong as anybody there is mentally physically strong
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: as well, especially for quarterbacks, and so there's a lot
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: of reasons this team hasn't gone deep in the playoffs,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: and it's not anything to do with that. There's times
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: where Dak hasn't played as as well as he needs
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: to in those big games. There's times where he has
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: played really well in those in those games, and it's
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: just all about the quarterback. So that's that's not the case.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to the line for Chad this
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Oak leaf Texas.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, Nick, how you doing today?
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: I'm good? I never heard of oak Hey man.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: What's that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: I've never heard of oak Leaf.
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: South of Dallas, about thirty miles northon Walks and Hatchie.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: Oh okay, all right, Hey, I just wanted to say
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: a couple of things. First of all, I had a
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: rough yesterday. I didn't get to watch the show till
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: late last night. But the spot with Woody was was
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: one of the best podcasts I've ever seen. That was
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: just good stuff. Man, it was fine.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun. I don't know about
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: rating it up there like that. I'll let you guys
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: do that, but I'd tell you it was. It was
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: They smile, smile of my face. And the second thing
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: I wanted to say in the same vein of those
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: those cowboys in the Super Bowl air Troy Ekman. Okay,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: and I'm not gonna going back to Troy, but Troy
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: for those three Super Bowls average two hundred and fifty
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: four yards per game, one touchdown per game, and one
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: interception per game. And so when everybody's freaking out about
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: our offense, I just want to say, calm down. Yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: we've done four hundred yards and four touchdowns a game
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: for twenty years. That hadn't gotten us there. Let's see
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: what let's see what this you know, this situational football
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: does for us.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what was that stat? Again? How many Troy in
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: the playoffs?
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: No, that's the three Super Bowl years Troy averaged two
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: and fifty four yards per game, one touchdown per game,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: one interception per game, and a sixty five point completion average.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's infesting.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of it's a lot of interceptions, I
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: would think for Troy. But I mean no, I mean,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're averaging, if you averaging won a game,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I mean that that's that's more than you think, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: and and averaging one touchdown a game, it seems low.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: But again, I haven't looked at just those Super Bowl years.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: And and the reason that was is because for it
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: wasn't the best guy on the team. I mean, he
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: wasn't the he was the leader of the team. But
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: you know that he had him at Smith and and
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: of course Michael and and and a lot of other
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: weapons there, so he didn't have to be And that's
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: that's what you're saying.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: And the ball played and didn't have to air the
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: ball out.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you're you're exactly right. Chad, and thanks, thanks
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: for the call. The difference though is that Dak does
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: not have the Emmett Smith type of runner back, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: he doesn't have a good defense.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Though.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: On the other side, he has an outstanding, uh superb
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: defense maybe maybe the best that we've seen, well, definitely
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the best that we've seen, uh since since I've since
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I've been here. I mean, I I don't know, I
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: don't know how great it was compared to win you
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: know too, Taull Jones and Randy White and Harvey Martin
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: and those guys, and then all you know, the defensive
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: backs that they have. I don't know about that. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: know that nickname, you know, Doomsday and all that kind
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: of stuff. But this is this is a good defense,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I think is a good defense that I've seen. Now
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: they faced Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson. They haven't faced the
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: top elite quarterbacks. But that's not going to happen for
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: a little bit either. So you know, you play who's
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: who's there, and uh, you know a lot of times
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: people will say things about, well it's too early, it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: a small sample size or or whatever, but you know
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: right now that you know that the Jets are one
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: and one. The Giants are one in one and the
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: reason because of that is is they face the Cowboys
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: and they haven't really been close to them. So all right,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: let's go to the line again. Alan in Montana. This
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: is the first time caller, I think, at least for
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: this show, Alan in Montana.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: Ye, it is?
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: What's up? Man?
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Not much?
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Who's the team in Montana? Is it?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Is it the Cowboys or the Broncos? Pretty strong there
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: in Montana? Who's Who's Who's the best team or the
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: favorite team?
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: The favorite is probably the Seahawks?
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Really Seahawks?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I thought I thought Denver was up in
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: there too, but I'm sure.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: But but what Cowboys? Are they strong?
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely Cowboys are strong. Broncos are probably the number two.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: But good to know. Okay.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: My my favorite player, I would say you is Doug Brighten.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: I was wondering if you had any personal accounts with
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: him or just any lesser known stories, uh.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Lesser known stories on Daz. Oh, let's be let's figure
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: this out. Yeah, does you got another question? Let me
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: think about it, think about how I want to answer
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: that one you got. If you got another question, they'll
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: go ahead.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: Beck was recently quoted that, you know, his footwork is
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: tied with the receivers, so that kind of looks at
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: like maybe a vulnerability is if you get some press
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: corners and jamming our receivers at the line, is that
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: a big deal that we got to watch up for.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: And that's some teams that we could be looking at.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, thanks thanks for the call there. Alan.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: You know, I think I think as far as the
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: receivers go, I mean, it is going to come down
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to strength. I mean, it's more than just quickness. It
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: is strength at the line of scrimmage and and and
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: getting off the ball and and and make plays you know.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Down the field.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: But the but the good you know, the good coordinators
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: as well. And this is where where both McCarthy and
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Brian Schottenheimer can come into to play, because this is
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: about kind of organizing the game plan too, is figuring
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: out ways to get these guys on the move, get
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: them get them in motion, just just a little subtle
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: things where they just kind of slide in motion or
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: even line back off the ball that can kind of
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: help with that if they're having problems with press coverage
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: and things like that. So there's ways to kind of
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: alleviate that. When it comes to Daz. You know, the
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: one thing I'll say about him, and I don't know
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: if you can say this really about any other player,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: because because when when the draft is coming out, everybody's
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: you know, these these guys are are are diagnosed up
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: and down, left and right. Everything about him, and you know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: and you hear, can they do this? Can they do this?
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: He's going to be this, He's going to be this.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: And I don't think there's ever been a player that
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: has been pegged perfectly more than Dez Bryant. He was
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: everything they said he would be everything they said he
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: was gonna be a dynamic wide receiver who loved football,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: who would raise the level of intensity in the games
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: and the practices. He he's he's all world. He can
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: catch the ball, he can go up and get it,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: and he can he can pluck it, he can run
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: after the catch.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: He's big and strong.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Uh, passionate off the field, He's he's gonna be He's
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: gonna have challenges. He's he's gonna, you know, not always
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: be on time for things. Uh, he's gonna have some
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: He's gonna have some some off the field, the people
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: that he's with that you know, they're gonna probably come
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: into in the surface a little bit and that might
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: be some issues. He was, he was young. You know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: he was immature when he started a little bit. I
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: mean they all are. Everybody is, not just him, and and.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: He was that. He was all of that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: He was everything and and the challenges and they were
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: worth it. I I just think when it got to
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the point later on his career, you know, he would
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: just go and out athlete people. He would just do that,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I'm better than you. I'm going to go up and
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: get this ball on better than you. And he and he,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: you know, as as his career went on, you know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think his game kind of went to the
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: next level like some of the other receivers were maybe
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: lining up in different spots and things like that when
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: he just couldn't go and out athlete people.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: But but when he was there, he was fun to watch.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: His all time leading uh touchdown a catcher in Cowboys history.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: And I think that what he did more than anything
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: was every single day he would bring a level of
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: intensity to practice that would make it fun, make it competitive.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: And next thing, you know that the receivers are mad
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: at the corners. The corners are mad or dead for
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: saying this and that, and you know, and and then
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you're having a good practice.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: And I think that's that kind of happened. We see
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: that a little bit now with these guys. You know,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: MICUs sorta does that a little bit too, raise his
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: practice because just saw how competitive they are, and and
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: it ends up being good as long as there's not
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of fights. And des got in in some
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: of those as well. I do remember a time against
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: against the Raiders are of the Rams. He was against
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: the Rams, and he had like a broken foot, he
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: was in a walking boot and they were practicing in
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: auction ard against the Rams, and one of the thirty
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: seven fights broke out and here's dads like on crutches,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: like like trying to you know, get over their middle
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: of the field and and and do some damage. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: you know, I think everything was fine, but but he was.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: He never he never backed down from anything. So but
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: he's active on Twitter, so if you you know, want
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: to hear what's going on with him, he's certainly doing
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: stuff there or X or whatever they called it. And
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: that would be you know, that's that's perfect for him.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Their dads who threw up the X to call, he
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: probably does call it X. All right, Brandon and Fresno's
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: on the line, Brandon, what's up?
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: What's going on? Nick's first time color on storyline. I
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: put on the break a couple of times to man,
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: thank you man, thanks for what you do. Man, appreciate it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I appreciate you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: After Lifty, I feel like, you know, everybody's comparing us too,
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: unfortunately the forty nine ers, But you know how they
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: used you, chick. Are they kind of going are they
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: kind of going that route with Hunter Lifty? And can
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: he be that kind of weapon?
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Man, they would love that, you know that, they would
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: love if he could be that guy. And and you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: and and us check wasn't him when he first started.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: You know, they kind of has to. That's a role
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: you just sort of kind of morph into a little bit. So, uh, yeah,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: he's on that path to be that guy.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: But I'm not sure.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: You know, you can't compare him that yet, but he's
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: doing similar type of things.
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: Exactly so that I mean, that's what I was kind
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: of seeing. He said, I know he's barely in his
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: first year. But I know, you chick didn't come out
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: right away, but I can see it like that, he said.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: I just I've been kind of noticing him kind of
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: do a lot of things. I want to see him
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: what he does in the passing game. He's watched on him,
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: and so I just I just wanted to see that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: And then just a player out there, dexter Man, fifty
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: two old Nickel. So I just want to throw that
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: out there.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Thank you, love I love it man. That that's awesome
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: good stuff there about lip Key. You have to keep
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, you just keep adding stuff to the play.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like, and this is gonna be a
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: weird analogy for me because I'm not, certainly not a
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: gym rat, but it reminds me of if you're lifting
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: weights every day, you know, and you're like bench pressing,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: You're like, all right, I'm gonna start with the bar,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: you know, and you got you to put some twenty
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: fives on whatever it is, and then you know, you
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: just keep doing it, and then you know, the week later,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: you're like, all right, let's put this on. Can we
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: do more? Let's try some more. And that's what it
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: is with all young players, and that's the way it is.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I think with Hunter Lipkey. All right, let's let's give
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: them the football. Let's I mean, because teams don't have
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: that on tape. They've got this play, They've got this play.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: He's a lead blocker, Let's give him the football. Let's
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: let's let's throw a screen to him. Let's let's give
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: him you know, let's put him in a route. So
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: there's different things like that, and I just think they're
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: just gonna keep doing that and adding stuff to his plate.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: So uh so far, so good, though he's kind of
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: showing the ability to take that on ask for Dexter Cokeley,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I really loved watching him as a player. You know,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: he was you know, he's not short obviously as Douce Vaughan,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: but but he was a you know, shorter guy that
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: you're like, well, can can he hold up?
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: And then can he do this?
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: And he was one guy along with that win that
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: when when Parcels got here, I mean, he just looked
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: at both of them and said, now, that's not gonna
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: work for me. This isn't the type of linebacker that
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I've used in the past. This isn't a Pepper Johnson.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: These aren't is in Carl Banks over here, It's not
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: my guy, and uh, and then he got convinced like,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: just well, let's just see because I think these guys
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: can play. And he definitely won them over Coke Lee,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: and of course that win as well. But uh, Coke
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: is the first guy that I can really remember to say,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: you make the Pro Bowl. You can make the Pro
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Bowl with one big game if you do it at
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: the right time. He did that in the ninety nine
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Day game against the Dolphins that he picked off
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Dan Marino twice, one for a touchdown. You do that
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: with the world watching, you end up in the Pro Bowl.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: And he did that. I think he was made a
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: couple of Pro Bowl, three Pro Bowls. I think, all.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Right, Seawan and san Antonio is our next caller, Sean,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: How you doing?
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: Nick could finally get through his first time ever. But
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: I'm a long time caller, I mean a long time listener.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: Man.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: We got a lot of first time callers say, you
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: guys are busting through, busting through the line.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's nice. So basically I have kind of a
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: multiple question that Reviles around Donovan Wilson. Okay, first I
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: want to say I think Donovan Wilson is ferocious, is
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: a spark plug, awesome attacker. You know, it just makes
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: the defense alive, and I just I think it might
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: add to it, you know. But my first question is
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: would they have signed him or Hooker with the young
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: talent that they know now? And then like the second
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: question would be, do you think Donovan Wilson come in
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: disrupt continuity? And then the third question is will they
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: lose those youngsters because those three safeties are signed, you know, Hooker, yeah,
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: Curse and Donovant.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Well, thanks for the call.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: A lot of a lot of safeties on your mind today,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: especially Donovan Wilson. Let's see, I'm gonna get the second
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: part out of the way because I don't think that
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: one is really going to be a factor. You said,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: will the disrupt the continuity of it?
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Now? I don't think so.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's what he's going to disrupt is is
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: the the offense of you know, playmaking ability, and he's
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: he does a lot of things. I looked this stat
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: up the other day about Dondrian Wilson hit one hundred
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: tackles last year had five sacks.
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: He got one interception, one fumble recovery, and one forced fumble.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: The only safety in the NFL to do that last year, Uh,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: to have five sacks and then all those other turnovers
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and and and they had one hundred tackles as well.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Nobody nobody was doing that and and that that's a
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: to me, that's an interesting stat because it shows you're
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of different things to be a difference maker.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: So I don't think he's going to disrupt anything, uh
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: in a in a negative way.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Would they have signed uh? Probably?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I mean you you you will you
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: you'd sign Don Wilson. I mean the thing that's helped,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: you know one year Thomas is the fact that Don
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: uh Wilson got a CAF injury in the first start
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: of training camp. They gave a lot of reps to
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Marquis bell a lot of reps to one Ye Thomas
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: and and and Mkuamo got hurt too, So both those
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: guys get hurt the first day of practice and and
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: and that's really helped them. You know, if you if
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: you knew what you do now, I still think I
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: still think that they signed Mollie Cooker, and I still
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: think that they signed Donovan Wilson. Now jay Ron Curse
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: has a one year deal. Uh, this is the end
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: of his This will be the last year of his deal,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: so that one I could see. You know, you have
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: some younger guys there. You have a Marquise Bell who
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: plays sort of the same type of way. You know,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: maybe he's not out one that that comes back next year,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: or or if he does, it will be at a
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: different price. But again, things like this work themselves out,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: they always do. Let's go, let's get one more call
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: and then we're gonna take a break. This is Brian
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: in Kansas City. Brian, what's up? Hey, Good morning, Mack,

  Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm gonna try. We'll try to do that.

  Speaker 3: times it seems like a lot.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it was.
• 26:04
  Speaker 11: It was cool, no doubt. Hey, so somebody already asked
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: about the safety, So I do have an old time
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: player for you. He was my favorite kind of lunchbox
• 26:13
  Speaker 11: tryhard guy. Bill Bates, and I'll hang up and listen
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: to any story you got about Bill Baits.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, I got the stories about Bill Bates. Thank you
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: for the call.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: The thing about Bill Bates is so I was so
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I was seven years old, I guess when he was
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: a rookie. Nineteen eighty three was really my first year.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: That was my first year of really kind of being
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: all in watching the Cowboys all the time. And I
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: had a T shirt. I went to the playoff game
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: against the Rams, one of the coldest games ever, and
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I had a shirt made for me for Christmas that day.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: It said here comes the next Bill Bates. That was
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: my shirt that I wore to the game. That didn't happen.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't turn into this menacing safety year or you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. But I think my dad really
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: really loved I mean, I think just as a fan
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: and just like yourself, everyone just like, who's this guy.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: You know, he didn't have the talent, the speed, athleticism.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: He's just gonna.
• 27:15

• 27:24
  Speaker 3: of people, and you know, just to walk on I
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: think at Tennessee, and he's awesome. And when he became
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: a coach here, he was a guy that I talked
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: to a lot and I really got to know him
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: really well. So no, Bill Bates is outstanding. And yeah,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: I mean I had a yeah, I had a T shirt.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: And we also took a sign to the game because
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I think it was twenty five degrees against the Rams
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: and we had to sign. My dad made this sign
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: and said Bill Bates went swimming this morning. I mean,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: it was just, you know, it didn't work and it
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: didn't intimidate anyone. The Rams won the game, but but
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm just saying I think it was one

  Speaker 4: I'm kidding. All right, Let's go to line though, Eric
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: in North Carolina. Eric, what's up?
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: What's up?
• 30:53
  Speaker 15: What's up?
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: Nick?
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 30:55
  Speaker 15: Just want to let you know, ma'n. I'm a major,
• 30:56
  Speaker 15: huge fan of yards. Thank you man, thank you for
• 31:01
  Speaker 15: the non box commentary and insight that you've been giving
• 31:04
  Speaker 15: us all these years. I've never had a chance to
• 31:06
  Speaker 15: say you.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: That, and I want to tell you that though I
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: love it, thank you, thank you so much. I mean,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. That means a lot. I try to
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: try to be like that. Sometimes it's hard to be
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: as unbiased as you want. But but thank you. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: appreciate that. Really do what do you got in your mind?
• 31:21
  Speaker 15: So I just want to be very quick. Am I
• 31:25
  Speaker 15: the only one who will seeing the immediate dividends being
• 31:27
  Speaker 15: paid off now by switching the offensive coordinatoring offensive system?
• 31:31
  Speaker 15: Because I'm starting to see it.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 31:33
  Speaker 15: I like what they're doing. I like the communication, you know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 15: they're getting to play then quick. That gets it the
• 31:38
  Speaker 15: line with plenty of time to survey the d You know,
• 31:42
  Speaker 15: I think you know the red zone rolls. I been
• 31:44
  Speaker 15: hear a little bit about that, but I really think
• 31:46
  Speaker 15: that Mike is holding his hand and not really playing cards.
• 31:50
  Speaker 15: You know, score touchdown is even important. We have a
• 31:52
  Speaker 15: defense plan at this level, you know, take your points,
• 31:55
  Speaker 15: kick the ball, get back on d I love our mentality.
• 31:58
  Speaker 15: Am I the only one to feel that way? How
• 31:59
  Speaker 15: to you feel? And that's basically what I want to ask,
• 32:02
  Speaker 15: because you know, I saw them the overtime game with
• 32:04
  Speaker 15: San Diego and and and telling made a couple of
• 32:07
  Speaker 15: very questionable calls, a couple of questionable throws, and it
• 32:10
  Speaker 15: looked very familiar to what we've been dealing with the
• 32:12
  Speaker 15: last few years in Ballace. So I'm very relieved that,
• 32:16
  Speaker 15: you know, Mike kind of took the reins offensively. And
• 32:18
  Speaker 15: I really think it's just going to be perfect to
• 32:21
  Speaker 15: compliment the defense. And that's really my comment. And I
• 32:24
  Speaker 15: also want to run about you, you know, see what
• 32:26
  Speaker 15: you think.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: About all right?
• 32:28
  Speaker 15: Cowboys for life?
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Baby awesome? Thank you, Eric?
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: And I you know what I do feel that I
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: can relate to you in a lot of ways, and
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: one of them is I don't know how long it's
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: going to be, but I will. I still think of
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: them as being San Diego Chargers. You said san Diego.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: I do exactly what you meant. I'm surprised I even
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: caught it because that's what I think too. I'm they're
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: the LA Chargers, but yeah, I think of them as
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: as San Diego. We're actually going to play the Chargers
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna I believe we're gonna go to l.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: A and not San Diego. But it's early.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: It's two games to say that the offense is so
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: much better than than what the Chargers are doing and
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: and when what Kellen was doing and all that. But uh,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: it does. It does feel pretty good, looks good. You know,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: we'll we'll see them. It's a different it's a different
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: type of offense. They're like, like you said, getting the
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: ball out quick. But but they haven't really been challenged
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: just yet.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: First game was was really weird.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Second game was, uh, you know, is they played well
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: against the Jets. Jets were stubborn. I mean, they were
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: not gonna change up. There will be some some teams
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: that that that mix it up and give them a
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: looks that they haven't seen. So it's early. But love
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: the optimism and and and the excitement, and that's that's
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: what's happened here. And you know you're not the only one.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: You're not the only one that is that thinks that way,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: because there's a lot of people that have given some
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: some credit and praise to to Mike McCarthy so far. Uh,
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: we got some text line questions here, do you think
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Romo is a first ballot Hall of Famer? And uh, well,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: would he get into the Hall of Fame before Jimmy
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: makes the Ring of Honor? Julio and Frisco, Well, would
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: he get into the Hall of Fame before Jimmy makes
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: the Ring of Honor?
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: That's a good one. That's that's close.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: And I and I don't say that because I don't
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: say it's never on either one. I think that will
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: both happen. Uh, I would say Jimmy the I don't
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: know this. I would say, Jimmy to the Ring of
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Honor before, But but who knows? What do you It's
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: gonna happen here with Woody, But but it might just
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: take a little bit and then Ramo's not a first
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: ballot Hall of Famer because he was on it last year.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Uh, and he's not. And I don't think he's.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if Romo is a Hall of Famer.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I think he's Ring of Honor. I don't know if
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: he's a Hall of Famer, though. I think if he's
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: gonna be a Hall of Famer, he's gonna have to
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: keep doing this, uh in the booth and be dynamic
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: and and just be a somebody that you know is
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: just you know, revered as one of the best that
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: regard and then you know what he did as a player.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Or two.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Zach in Germany. Surprised had you hold
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: so long? I apologize for that, Zach.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: Hey, Nick?
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: How you doing?
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you good?
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Good?
• 35:16
  Speaker 16: I'll send you guys the phone bill.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: I mean it sounds like you're just like right across
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: the street. I mean this doesn't sound very far at all.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 35:24
  Speaker 16: Hey, technology these days it's a big help. And following
• 35:27
  Speaker 16: you guys for a really long.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Time, so thank you.
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: I had two.
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: Quick questions for you.
• 35:32
  Speaker 16: The first is in reference to our new style of
• 35:34
  Speaker 16: offense the Texas Coast, right. You know, I would say
• 35:38
  Speaker 16: when Kellen Moore was here, we had a lot of
• 35:40
  Speaker 16: criticism that we were passing too much. You know, Dax's
• 35:43
  Speaker 16: on forty sometimes fifty times a game. You know, he
• 35:46
  Speaker 16: might get the stat line, but we were getting the loss.
• 35:48
  Speaker 16: How do you feel that now with the new Texas
• 35:51
  Speaker 16: Coast a little bit faster play but with the emphasis
• 35:54
  Speaker 16: on the run game, do you see that that.
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: Is a better move?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead and ask your second question.
• 36:02
  Speaker 16: Yeah, pro second question is in reference to the punt
• 36:05
  Speaker 16: returner last year. You know, I had listened and you
• 36:08
  Speaker 16: had predicted a couple of times throughout the year that
• 36:11
  Speaker 16: maybe Turpin might have a return. The only thing I
• 36:13
  Speaker 16: could think of was, you know, he was coming off
• 36:15
  Speaker 16: of the USFL League, maybe his body was a little
• 36:19
  Speaker 16: worn out. So do you predict maybe this year we're
• 36:21
  Speaker 16: going to actually get a return in the regular season?
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, what time is it over there?
• 36:28
  Speaker 16: It is about five forty five.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Forty Okay, good, good to know. You know, thanks for
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: the call. I appreciate that, Zach and I say that,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: and I say this every time somebody calls along, you know,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: from from a different country and all that. Just just
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: just appreciate the commitment that they do and that they
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: have to cover the team and cover this team and
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: to watch them, you know and probably sometimes build the
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: night with certain games or early in the morning and
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: all that. So really awesome. Thank you so much Zach
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: for calling the first part the offense and you know,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I it's it's uh, you know, just getting the ball
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: out quick is is good, but you got to remember
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: that that.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: You can't have it both ways.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: And sometimes, you know, that's one thing that I hate
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: is I hate hearing arguments about things that are tied together.
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I mean I heard it on the radio a couple
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: of days ago. You know, like like that good job.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: You know, they're getting the ball out quick. You know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: that's credit to Dak, credit to the offense and all that,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: but why aren't they throwing it deep? I'm like, well,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: you can't have it both ways. I mean, that's the thing.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: You who's open? I mean, because you're not throwing it
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: to the back judge. So I mean like you you
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: have to wait for your guy to get down there.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: But then at the same time, you're certainly not getting
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: the ball out quick. So so you don't just play
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: it one way.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: You don't.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: That's one thing that I have really admired about McCarthy
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: so far is he doesn't really just have a style
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: yet that that I that I've seen, which is good.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: It's just like playing poker. You don't want to have
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: a tell. You don't want to keep doing the same
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: thing over and over. So he's gonna defer sometimes sometimes
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: he's gonna take the ball. Sometimes he's gonna he's gonna
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: go for it on fourth down at the thirty. Sometimes
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: he's gonna punt. It just depends on the game. Sometimes
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: they're gonna get the ball out quick. Sometimes they're gonna
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: take more shots down the field. That's what I've learned
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: so far about him. And then ask for Turpin. You know,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: I think I think you're seeing the advantage of him
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: just in a play the other day. He's standing back
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: there around the round midfield. Maybe he's own forty. That
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: punt went about thirty eight yards and went out of bounds.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: You know, punters try to angle it away. They don't
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: just want to give it straight down the middle to Turpin.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: So you angle it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: But if you angle it and miss just a little bit,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: especially if you miss the wrong way, either you punt
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: down the middle and he has it anyways, or get
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: shanked out of bounds. So angling punts isn't always as
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: easy as people think it is, especially to get distanced
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: in the.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Direction as well.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I think Turpin, Yeah, I think he's I always think
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: he's gonna he's gonna break one. I'll be surprised if
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: he doesn't have one this year. All right, Tony and
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: Wacos Our next caller, Tony, Hey.
• 39:07
  Speaker 17: Nick, thanks taking my phone call. I want to say, well,
• 39:10
  Speaker 17: one's a comment more, seconde's a question. First thing is
• 39:12
  Speaker 17: just love the show. Love listening to you and Hellman
• 39:15
  Speaker 17: years ago on the break.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: He's got his own podcast. You know that he's got
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: his own podcast.
• 39:20
  Speaker 17: I was actually just listening to that before I made
• 39:22
  Speaker 17: the phone call.
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: Yes, so love that.
• 39:25
  Speaker 17: Love what I learned from you guys. I think I
• 39:27
  Speaker 17: know a lot about football, but I hear.
• 39:28
  Speaker 11: You and the stats.
• 39:29
  Speaker 17: You're like on nineteen seventy Eighthing lost to the Miami Dolphins,
• 39:32
  Speaker 17: And I'm like, how does he know this?
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: They didn't they played in eighty one, they didn't play
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: in seventy. I'm a kidding.
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Maybe they did. I'm like, no, I'm kidding.
• 39:41
  Speaker 17: The only other question I have his real quick question.
• 39:43
  Speaker 17: There's more just a logistical question on the fact that
• 39:48
  Speaker 17: DAK took and that was on DAK. Does that still
• 39:51
  Speaker 17: get credited to alignment or once it happens that far
• 39:54
  Speaker 17: out of the pocket?
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: Do is it just kind of a wash?
• 39:56
  Speaker 17: Or how is that actually scored against whoever's guy that
• 40:00
  Speaker 17: quote unquote should have been?
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: When you say that, you are you saying like to
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: like like PFF and things like that, or you mean
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: like just from the coaching you know, or just or
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: like fans, or do you think, like you know, how
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: is it like officially scored officially scored?
• 40:15
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I don't care about theff I you know, I
• 40:16
  Speaker 17: just wanted to know how that's officially scored, I guess
• 40:18
  Speaker 17: is what I'm asking.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing, like, I don't know who officially.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: This isn't like baseball where there's like an official scorekeeper
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: for that'stat. I mean, they obviously have stats, but for
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: that's that, that's not one that I've seen. Sometimes that's
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: why it gets tricky, honestly, That's where sometimes and and
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: next gen stats and PFF and all that give them credit.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: They have some really dynamic things, but it is tough
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: sometimes to determine whose assignment this was and what he
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: should have been.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: And oh, Dak.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Should have got that ball out quick, because that's what
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: we called in the huddle and he rolled around and
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: got a sack.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I me personally, I think that that that was on
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Dak because yeah, I mean, once you start rolling out
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: like that, you're not going to continue to block the
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: guy and he should have thrown it away, and he
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: was trying to look down the field and all that.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: So who officially gets that. Maybe it's the guy that
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: was blocking them, But I mean I think we all
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: just football wise looking at it, going man, that that's
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: on the quarterback right there. So all right, appreciate the call.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Did you did you have another point or was that it?
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: No?
• 41:23
  Speaker 17: That was it just real quick at Simpots kind of
• 41:25
  Speaker 17: wanted to know from a logistical standpoint, who's responsible. I mean,
• 41:28
  Speaker 17: I know who I feel in my heart is responsible.
• 41:30
  Speaker 17: But yeah, like you said, from an official stat wise,
• 41:32
  Speaker 17: who who would be credited or whatever the case.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: You know that that's not one really that is an
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: official stat that's not one where I mean you'll see
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: websites and all that that say he hasn't given up
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: this and all that this sacks and he's ninety two
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: percent about this. But it really isn't one that's on
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: like the NFL dot com stat sheet of sacks allowed.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: That's not really one that they do for that reason alone,
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: right there is you know, no, we were supposed to
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: twist and you were supposed to.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Take that guy. Now you put it on me. You know.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: It's the same with safety sometimes too safeties. It looks
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: like this safety was chasing and he gave the play,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: but really his responsibility was to be over here. He
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: just tried to do the best he could. So sometimes
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: responsibility makes it tough to score these things officially. All right,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: thanks thanks for the call, Tony, Thanks for all the calls.
• 42:17
