Speaker 1: The following.
0:03
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
0:05
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
0:09
Speaker 3: Cowboys.
0:12
Speaker 4: This's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
0:19
Speaker 1: What is up?
0:20
Speaker 5: It is time for Cowboys Storyline Here Wednesday, November twenty ninth,
0:24
Speaker 5: the day before the Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks square off
0:30
Speaker 5: at at and T Stadium. Cowboys looking to get to
0:32
Speaker 5: nine and three. This is supposed to be the gauntlet
0:36
Speaker 5: part of the schedule for the Cowboys, and you know,
0:40
Speaker 5: I think Seattle is pretty good. They're struggling a little bit.
0:46
Speaker 5: They're going through their own gauntlet of a schedule right now,
0:50
Speaker 5: probably worse than what the Cowboys will have. And when
0:52
Speaker 5: you think about San Francisco than Dallas, then I think
0:56
Speaker 5: it's Philly then San Francisco or maybe flipped around a
1:02
Speaker 5: little bit.
1:02
Speaker 1: But that's there.
1:03
Speaker 5: They are four teams that they've got a four game stretch,
1:05
Speaker 5: so they they're definitely need this game. So I think
1:09
Speaker 5: it's going to be a really tough, tough matchup. We'll
1:11
Speaker 5: talk about it here. We'll talk about of course, Shaq Leonard,
1:14
Speaker 5: who was here yesterday, looks like he's going to be
1:16
Speaker 5: in Philly today. I'm not sure, what other teams that
1:20
Speaker 5: are kind of, you know, on the horizon for him,
1:22
Speaker 5: if if any, But yeah, it comes down to Dallas
1:26
Speaker 5: and Phil. I mean, he's obviously he's been with the
1:28
Speaker 5: Colts for a few years now and looking to go
1:32
Speaker 5: to a team that that's going to have a chance
1:33
Speaker 5: to compete. And you know, I don't think it's you know,
1:36
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a coincidence that these are the
1:40
Speaker 5: two teams that he's looking at. But they also need
1:42
Speaker 5: some linebacker help. Both of them have had injuries at linebackers,
1:45
Speaker 5: so it kind of makes sense for a couple of reasons.
1:48
Speaker 5: All Right, eight eight eight, eight five five two two
1:50
Speaker 5: ninety seven is the number to call. You can text
1:52
Speaker 5: in some questions at eight one seven two nine zero
1:54
Speaker 5: three two nine eight. We'll go right to it. We
1:58
Speaker 5: don't have time to waste here, so let's start it off.
2:01
Speaker 5: Irene in Virginia, what's up? Irene?
2:04
Speaker 4: Hey?
2:04
Speaker 6: Nick?
2:05
Speaker 7: You Chris Okay stout out to drawn Bland. So we
2:11
Speaker 7: late here at my house and both of my brothers
2:14
Speaker 7: I was in a different room finishing up some cooking
2:17
Speaker 7: and watching the games, and they both thought I had
2:21
Speaker 7: been stabbed because apparently I made such a guttural reaction
2:25
Speaker 7: to his pick and then I and then I started
2:28
Speaker 7: laughing when he because I was like, no, it's not
2:30
Speaker 7: going to happen. I don't know anyway, Yeah, that was awesome.
2:34
Speaker 5: I had it outburst in the press box. You're not
2:38
Speaker 5: supposed to have You're not supposed to do that. And
2:40
Speaker 5: I went to talk to Patrick and Nick kind of
2:43
Speaker 5: walked over said I, what are we thinking?
2:45
Speaker 8: You know?
2:45
Speaker 9: What are they?
2:46
Speaker 1: You know?
2:47
Speaker 5: And then the interception happened and I was like, no
2:51
Speaker 5: freaking way. Maybe a different word. And I was like,
2:54
Speaker 5: are you kidding me? Maybe a different word. And I
2:58
Speaker 5: was like the same thing. He's going to get tackled,
3:00
Speaker 5: he's gonna get And then I was like I couldn't
3:02
Speaker 5: believe it. I really could not believe that one. That
3:04
Speaker 5: one was unreal.
3:05
Speaker 7: But yeah, it's the perfect way to break history.
3:08
Speaker 1: Definitely.
3:09
Speaker 4: Yeah.
3:11
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm gonna be facetious with this question. When did
3:14
Speaker 7: Detroit stop posting a Thanksgiving game?
3:16
Speaker 10: Because how come?
3:17
Speaker 7: I went I went back, and look, how come they
3:20
Speaker 7: are never the team that has to play the following Thursday?
3:23
Speaker 7: I mean, I get it. If they don't want the
3:26
Speaker 7: advantage for both of those teams and they rotate every year,
3:29
Speaker 7: but why is it always Dallas. I look back and
3:32
Speaker 7: I think it only was one year and that was
3:35
Speaker 7: last year that they didn't on the following Thursday. I
3:38
Speaker 7: don't get it.
3:39
Speaker 10: Detroit.
3:40
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, have you ever been on Lion's storyline?
3:45
Speaker 5: Which would be cool, it would be called story Lion.
3:47
Speaker 5: Maybe that would be cool, or the Lions break. I'm
3:51
Speaker 5: not saying they don't have that. They're not the Cowboys.
3:54
Speaker 5: And you know this, and I mean your answer is
3:56
Speaker 5: exactly you you know the answer. They're not the Cowboys.
3:59
Speaker 5: That's why they're not on primetime. I mean there's probably
4:02
Speaker 5: been times over the years where they were like do
4:04
Speaker 5: we have to Why does Detroit have to have a
4:06
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving game? I guarantee networks have thought this, and it's
4:10
Speaker 5: just the way that it is. So I don't think
4:12
Speaker 5: they're going to put it give them another one. They're
4:14
Speaker 5: still the Lions. Not to say they're not good. They
4:18
Speaker 5: are a good team. Dan Campbell big shout out to them,
4:20
Speaker 5: but it just comes down to Thursday night games and
4:24
Speaker 5: just you know, when do you want to put the
4:26
Speaker 5: Cowboys on primetime? And you know, I don't think it's that,
4:30
Speaker 5: you know, it's that big a deal honestly. I mean,
4:32
Speaker 5: because you're gonna get that time anyways. I mean, you
4:36
Speaker 5: know they're going to get it after this game leading
4:39
Speaker 5: into the Eagles, so it's probably I think it works
4:41
Speaker 5: out pretty good this year.
4:43
Speaker 10: I do too.
4:44
Speaker 7: This year, I do, but I'm like, well, everyone needs
4:46
Speaker 7: a Thursday night game, so I can't be rich. That's fine. Yeah,
4:50
Speaker 7: So I know the Schechliner story isn't quite over, but
4:53
Speaker 7: I was feeling pretty down about it yesterday and I'm
4:55
Speaker 7: in line at Ald and I was like, we're going
4:58
Speaker 7: to ask this cash here, uh, what fan based if
5:02
Speaker 7: he likes football, because I was hoping you would be
5:04
Speaker 7: a Cowboys fan so we could kind of commiserate. Well,
5:06
Speaker 7: then he told me he was a Panther fan, and
5:08
Speaker 7: I realized.
5:09
Speaker 10: You know, we have it pretty good. Yeah, he should
5:12
Speaker 10: be a Panther fan.
5:13
Speaker 1: Wow.
5:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, that changed my perspective real quick. I still hope
5:17
Speaker 7: we sign him. Yeah, really disliked the idea of the
5:20
Speaker 7: Eagles signing him. So but you know, it is what it is.
5:24
Speaker 7: We're in good shape regardless.
5:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:26
Speaker 5: All right, Well thanks for the call, appreciate that, and uh,
5:30
Speaker 5: you know, I you know, I have thoughts on that
5:32
Speaker 5: as well. I just said, I do a quick hit
5:36
Speaker 5: on Wednesday's on the fan here one O five to
5:38
Speaker 5: three the fan, So if you listen to that, I'll
5:41
Speaker 5: tell you the same thing. But you know, I look
5:44
Speaker 5: at it more like the Cowboys sort of playing defense
5:47
Speaker 5: on this, which is fine because Shack Lennard does play defense,
5:50
Speaker 5: but you know, it kind of reminds you, you know,
5:52
Speaker 5: have a have a three year old daughter and shouldn't
5:55
Speaker 5: always want to play with the toys all the time
5:57
Speaker 5: unless somebody else comes over wants to play with the toy.
5:59
Speaker 5: Then it's like, wait, oh wait, no, no, no, that's
6:01
Speaker 5: not yours, this is mine. You know, you don't play
6:04
Speaker 5: with that. I think it's more of that, like that
6:06
Speaker 5: nobody wants Philadelphia to sign this guy. I mean like,
6:09
Speaker 5: if he goes and signs with the Ravens, you'd be like, well,
6:12
Speaker 5: you know, he could have helped us to you know,
6:14
Speaker 5: but if he signs with Philly, that's going to be
6:16
Speaker 5: even worse. And so that's I get that. The sense
6:21
Speaker 5: that I got yesterday by talking to a couple of
6:23
Speaker 5: people was that the Cowboys would like to sign him
6:26
Speaker 5: if it doesn't happen, They'll be okay because they understand,
6:31
Speaker 5: I mean, this is not the same guy.
6:33
Speaker 1: This is not Darius.
6:34
Speaker 5: Leonard who was That was his name when he came
6:37
Speaker 5: into the league, and he was really great and all that,
6:39
Speaker 5: and now he changed his name to Shack Leonard, which
6:41
Speaker 5: is middle named. But but he's he's not been the
6:44
Speaker 5: same That has nothing to do with a name. It's
6:47
Speaker 5: just he hasn't been the same player for injuries things
6:50
Speaker 5: like that. So the Cowboys see that, I mean, teams
6:52
Speaker 5: see that. They know the Colts saw it. I mean,
6:55
Speaker 5: you have to figure out why he was out there.
6:57
Speaker 5: So they've done that. But then again, he can still
7:01
Speaker 5: be a good run stopper and at linebacker that's what
7:04
Speaker 5: this team needs. And if he can come in and
7:07
Speaker 5: stop the run, it helps your pass rush because guess
7:10
Speaker 5: who gets to play less linebacker and more pass rush
7:14
Speaker 5: Michael Parsons. So it can help. It's a it's a
7:17
Speaker 5: position of need, and it just so happened to be
7:19
Speaker 5: a position of need for the Eagles as well. All right, Dylan, Northport, Florida,
7:24
Speaker 5: what's up?
7:24
Speaker 1: Dylan?
7:26
Speaker 4: Hey, Nick, Hey Irene? How nice to follow you up there,
7:29
Speaker 4: Miss Irene? We follow each other on Twitter, so we cool.
7:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like this connecting people. I love it. I
7:36
Speaker 1: love it. What's going on?
7:38
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's funny.
7:38
Speaker 4: She uh talked about Deram. That's where I was going.
7:41
Speaker 4: The call to was Durrown Blan and speaking of our reactions, right,
7:44
Speaker 4: a few weeks ago, Uh, I hurt myself. I was
7:47
Speaker 4: playing with my kids and I tried doing a little
7:48
Speaker 4: drawn bland roll pop up thing right and hurt my
7:51
Speaker 4: shoulder doing that.
7:52
Speaker 11: And then you did that.
7:54
Speaker 1: You were the one that did that.
7:56
Speaker 4: Got that's me, man, that's me.
7:58
Speaker 1: Sorry.
7:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, I sent you a two.
8:00
Speaker 1: Year That's right, that's right, you did I maybe I didn't.
8:03
Speaker 1: I didn't.
8:04
Speaker 5: I don't know what your name is on Twitter, but
8:05
Speaker 5: maybe I just didn't think that that was the same one.
8:08
Speaker 5: I apologize, But yeah, I saw that on Twitter, and
8:10
Speaker 5: I was like, oh man, somebody got hurt doing that
8:12
Speaker 5: because we said, hey, do it in your living room
8:14
Speaker 5: roll and see how quick you.
8:15
Speaker 1: Pop up from now.
8:17
Speaker 4: I was playing with my kids and it popped into
8:18
Speaker 4: my mind to try it out, but it didn't work.
8:20
Speaker 4: And you're right, there's a reason why they're where they
8:22
Speaker 4: are and I'm just not so right and then last
8:26
Speaker 4: week when he, you know, he breaks the record.
8:27
Speaker 9: I'm up.
8:27
Speaker 4: I'm running around my house and I tossed my four
8:31
Speaker 4: year old up on the air. I catcher, I run
8:32
Speaker 4: and hug my wife in the other room. She doesn't
8:34
Speaker 4: know what the hell's going on. I run back down
8:36
Speaker 4: on the couch and my back starts tightening up. I
8:38
Speaker 4: had to sit there for thirty minutes. I couldn't move.
8:40
Speaker 4: I couldn't move.
8:42
Speaker 5: You are worth it, so you are not? So now
8:44
Speaker 5: we know you're not an NFL cornerback.
8:47
Speaker 11: We do.
8:48
Speaker 4: Yep, all those dreams are crushed, got it. I was
8:50
Speaker 4: barely a high school cornerback.
8:51
Speaker 5: So well, it sounds like you tried your own pick
8:54
Speaker 5: six there, you know, with with your with your kid
8:56
Speaker 5: picked up and ran into the end zone right heavier
8:59
Speaker 5: than that?
8:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, that was pretty cool. But yeah, sure,
9:03
Speaker 4: you're talking to Arthur about, you know, him being the
9:05
Speaker 4: defensive player of the year and you know, is he
9:07
Speaker 4: the best player on the defense and all that. Well,
9:10
Speaker 4: he don't have the best player in the defense. But
9:11
Speaker 4: I think he's having the best season right and he's
9:13
Speaker 4: having a historic season. I think that has to be
9:15
Speaker 4: considered every year, you know, that the war go seems
9:18
Speaker 4: to go to a pass rusher that gets, you know,
9:21
Speaker 4: the same thing that other pass rushers dre every year.
9:23
Speaker 4: Eighteen sacks, nineteen sacks. Not that that's not special, it's
9:26
Speaker 4: really good obviously, but Blads doing something historic now. And
9:30
Speaker 4: it's not like some weird category. This is a meaningful metric, right.
9:33
Speaker 4: He has a negative net touchdown count against him, meaning
9:37
Speaker 4: he's scored five touchdowns given up one. So like quarterbactually
9:41
Speaker 4: better off to throwing in the dirt. I look at that,
9:43
Speaker 4: and the QBR thrown at him is terrible. And so
9:46
Speaker 4: it's like he's leading in all these stats. He has
9:49
Speaker 4: history on his side. So if he doesn't win Defensive
9:52
Speaker 4: Player of the Year, then I don't know what the
9:53
Speaker 4: heck they're looking at.
9:54
Speaker 5: But yeah, I agree, I mean it's gonna and I've
9:58
Speaker 5: had to kind of come around a little bit on that,
10:00
Speaker 5: and I said it yesterday. How you know you're right.
10:02
Speaker 5: It's the Defensive Player of the Year. It is what
10:05
Speaker 5: it is, that's what the award is. And he and
10:07
Speaker 5: he is, like you said, historic, He's he's doing something
10:11
Speaker 5: that we just have never seen anything close to, especially
10:15
Speaker 5: from the Cowboys. Perspective in an NFL as well. So yeah,
10:18
Speaker 5: he's he's he's having an unbelievable year. I think Miles
10:23
Speaker 5: Garrett could could have pushed there. He was having a
10:25
Speaker 5: lot of sacks too. Didn't t J Watt win it
10:29
Speaker 5: last year? I mean, didn't he set the record or
10:31
Speaker 5: tie the record? I can't remember. I think he had
10:33
Speaker 5: like twenty two tied straight hand, Yeah, but no one
10:39
Speaker 5: laid down in front of t J.
10:40
Speaker 1: Watt. I don't think like straight hand now.
10:43
Speaker 5: Sorry anyways, Yeah, I mean that's I'm not I'm not
10:47
Speaker 5: going to fight this thing.
10:49
Speaker 1: I mean, if the voters.
10:50
Speaker 5: Vote for him, the thing that might hurt him is
10:53
Speaker 5: that there's some people that still feel like Michael Parsons
10:55
Speaker 5: is in the running too, So maybe you know those guys,
10:58
Speaker 5: they might split some votes a little bit.
11:00
Speaker 11: Uh.
11:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, there should be a co a cod boy for
11:03
Speaker 4: for the both of them making sure it. It'll be
11:05
Speaker 4: craziest playing gets it before Micah. Can you imagine that too?
11:08
Speaker 1: Yeah?
11:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be crazy and Micah would would not
11:12
Speaker 5: like that. He said, he'll say he will, but he.
11:14
Speaker 1: Won't like he won't like it. So all right for prediction,
11:18
Speaker 1: real quick, yep, throw it out there.
11:20
Speaker 4: All right, we'll say thirty four to uh, there's gonna
11:23
Speaker 4: be a safety, so well, I should say thirty six.
11:27
Speaker 1: Prediction thirty Cavent team with the safety.
11:31
Speaker 11: Cool, you got it?
11:32
Speaker 5: All right, have a good one. All right, let's go
11:34
Speaker 5: to some text questions here, Doug from Florida. We set
11:37
Speaker 5: a goal to fix some issues through the past three games,
11:39
Speaker 5: and I think we've addressed the run game. Cooks and
11:42
Speaker 5: Gallup are more involved in the red zone exception, his
11:45
Speaker 5: penalties is still an issue. What are your thoughts? Yeah,
11:48
Speaker 5: I mean I think that's a that's a good point
11:50
Speaker 5: to throw that out there. I mean, I think I
11:52
Speaker 5: said that after the That was my article after Carolina
11:55
Speaker 5: was that you're seeing something some improved signs here, you know,
11:59
Speaker 5: some reasons to be optimistic about things because you're seeing growth.
12:03
Speaker 5: You know, You're right about Cooks and Gallop. I mean
12:06
Speaker 5: that they and they are are making more plays and
12:10
Speaker 5: I really don't see anything changing from CDs perspective. I mean,
12:14
Speaker 5: he's still making a lot of plays as well, just
12:16
Speaker 5: adding to that running game. Look solid. Dabbles, you know,
12:20
Speaker 5: got he got more carries. He scored the touchdowns the
12:23
Speaker 5: last two games. Pollard's running seemed to be running a
12:27
Speaker 5: little bit better. Schoonmakers getting involved, Ferguson's been involved now,
12:32
Speaker 5: you know, so you're just you just have more weapons.
12:33
Speaker 5: Jayalen Tolbert's making some plays. So yeah, I like that.
12:37
Speaker 5: I like what we've seen. You're seeing growth on the
12:39
Speaker 5: offensive end. And penalties, Yeah, penalties is still an issue.
12:43
Speaker 5: And it's one of those game to game type things.
12:45
Speaker 5: It's a crew to crewe. If you listen to to
12:48
Speaker 5: Brian brought us a lot on on you know, on
12:51
Speaker 5: the on the fan, but he's also on Cowboys Break
12:53
Speaker 5: and you know he talks about officials a lot, you know,
12:55
Speaker 5: and and who who is the crew for this game?
12:58
Speaker 5: And not because it matters. I mean, you they they're
13:01
Speaker 5: pretty consistent. They call a lot of past interferences. They're
13:04
Speaker 5: gonna call a lot of past interference. So you have
13:06
Speaker 5: to know that. I know, Mike McCarthy knows that, and
13:08
Speaker 5: so that that's important and that's what kind of happens
13:10
Speaker 5: from crew to crew, and they you have to kind
13:12
Speaker 5: of coach that a little bit. You have to be
13:14
Speaker 5: aware of things that they that they call. They're gonna
13:17
Speaker 5: they're gonna call you for lining up your hand on
13:20
Speaker 5: you know, inside the neutral zone. Make sure it's not
13:23
Speaker 5: in there. You know, that one kills me. I really
13:25
Speaker 5: don't understand how that happens all the time, but it does,
13:27
Speaker 5: all right, Sebastian and Savannah Georgia is our next caller. Sebastian,
13:32
Speaker 5: what's up man.
13:33
Speaker 10: Good morning and happy hump day everybody.
13:37
Speaker 1: Oh it's Wednesday. That's all right, it's Wednesday.
13:39
Speaker 10: Yeah. With the penalty thing, it's rough. I think the
13:41
Speaker 10: penalties happen to every team in the league. We just
13:44
Speaker 10: got to stop those timely penalties, not every third down. Sorry, yeah,
13:49
Speaker 10: well we're not that about Philly, but we we just
13:50
Speaker 10: got to stop those timely penalties on third down. Speaking
13:53
Speaker 10: of Philly, the big thing with Philly is that they're
13:56
Speaker 10: never out of the game. That team has been zero pointed. Yeah,
13:59
Speaker 10: no matter how far down they get, they have that
14:01
Speaker 10: we've been here before mentality, and they fight and fight
14:03
Speaker 10: and fight till they get back in the game. So
14:05
Speaker 10: if you are going to beat Philly, you got to
14:07
Speaker 10: keep your thumb on them and keep pressing to the game.
14:10
Speaker 10: This week, I've watched the last couple of games, so
14:13
Speaker 10: this is a far different team from the Russell Wilson,
14:15
Speaker 10: Marshall Lanterra. This team cannot run the ball, and that's
14:18
Speaker 10: what Pete Carrollton's to want to do with his teams.
14:21
Speaker 10: They're not a good running team. They've averaged, they averaged
14:24
Speaker 10: like eighty to ninety yards, but they're like going sixteen
14:28
Speaker 10: to twenty carries. They're not And Gino Smith is very
14:33
Speaker 10: similar to Sam Howet Like last week, I would think
14:35
Speaker 10: we would get out of this game with like a
14:36
Speaker 10: twenty eight to seventeen, though we're not gonna be sitting
14:38
Speaker 10: in the fourth quarter of this time around. I don't think,
14:41
Speaker 10: because there are better teams than that, but I think
14:43
Speaker 10: we get out twenty eight to seventeen. Their biggest weapon
14:46
Speaker 10: is Tyler Lockett. I don't know what's going on with
14:49
Speaker 10: the big guy, Dk Metcalf. It looks like he's not
14:52
Speaker 10: he hasn't. He's kind of like what Dees was in
14:54
Speaker 10: later in his career, like right now, where Dez wasn't
14:57
Speaker 10: the best route runner. DK's not running great routes. He's
14:59
Speaker 10: not doing really much, you know, and you know, doesn't
15:01
Speaker 10: have a lot of time in the pocket. Against a
15:03
Speaker 10: team that rushes like we do, we should eat them
15:05
Speaker 10: kids up on the pass in the front.
15:08
Speaker 1: I like it.
15:09
Speaker 5: It's good scattering report, good stuff. Yeah, I mean I
15:13
Speaker 5: think that you know they you're right. And sometimes it's
15:17
Speaker 5: tough when when you you're an older coach, that that
15:21
Speaker 5: you you have a style that has worked in the
15:23
Speaker 5: past and that's the way you want to play, but
15:26
Speaker 5: it doesn't always work with your personnel. And I think
15:28
Speaker 5: that's that's the sign of every great coach is fitting.
15:32
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying Pete Carroll isn't he's he's certainly
15:34
Speaker 5: he's won everywhere he's been. But uh, you know, sometimes
15:38
Speaker 5: your personnel just doesn't fit for what you want to
15:40
Speaker 5: do and and you you want to, you know, you
15:43
Speaker 5: want to push them that way. Yes, this is Kenneth
15:46
Speaker 5: Walker can run the ball or Sharvionna or whatever.
15:48
Speaker 1: They can run it.
15:49
Speaker 5: But if that's not really what they do best, then
15:51
Speaker 5: then it's always a struggle. And I think I think
15:53
Speaker 5: we've seen that here. We've seen that some some times
15:56
Speaker 5: with Kellen Moore. We've seen it early on here with
15:59
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy. Is that you have a certain style, but
16:01
Speaker 5: you're still trying to figure out your team and it changes,
16:04
Speaker 5: you know, year to year, and it changes throughout the
16:06
Speaker 5: year sometimes as well. Good call there for Sebastian. All right,
16:10
Speaker 5: let's go. We have another question on the text line.
16:13
Speaker 5: This is John in Michigan. He'd love to hear more
16:15
Speaker 5: about how the data folks are affecting the team this year.
16:19
Speaker 5: Have they contributed to the offense or special teams in
16:22
Speaker 5: any way you can see in the building or in
16:24
Speaker 5: the discussions with the coaches. I'm sure they have because
16:28
Speaker 5: they have a big analytics team. I think there's like
16:30
Speaker 5: five people, and there's a new director over there. I'd
16:33
Speaker 5: be lying if I'd said I do all the things
16:36
Speaker 5: that they do this year to help with the offense
16:38
Speaker 5: the special teams. It's just not that's not it's a
16:40
Speaker 5: great question. It's just not one that I've really kind
16:43
Speaker 5: of gone into and found that out. And that's not
16:46
Speaker 5: one that when they do things like that, they don't
16:49
Speaker 5: sit there and parade it around for the media to
16:51
Speaker 5: here and things like that, because that's that's kind of
16:53
Speaker 5: you want to have that edge, you want to figure
16:55
Speaker 5: things out. But yeah, you wouldn't have a team be
16:57
Speaker 5: four to five people, especially when you had zero like
17:01
Speaker 5: ten years ago. You would, you know, that's that's developed,
17:04
Speaker 5: that part has developed, and some coaches buy into it
17:07
Speaker 5: more than others. I think Mike McCarthy really does buy
17:10
Speaker 5: into it. That's why they have such a strong team.
17:12
Speaker 5: So yeah, it matters. But I don't really know specific things,
17:16
Speaker 5: and if I did, I don't know if they would
17:18
Speaker 5: be something to throw out there. All right, let's go
17:22
Speaker 5: to Pete in Connecticut. Pete in Connecticut.
17:25
Speaker 1: What's up? Man? Hey?
17:26
Speaker 12: How are you?
17:27
Speaker 10: And Nick?
17:27
Speaker 1: I'm great? You good.
17:30
Speaker 11: I was just wondering.
17:31
Speaker 12: I know, we had Shack Leonard in for a visit
17:33
Speaker 12: yesterday and he left contract and do you think he's
17:37
Speaker 12: just going around trying to get more money out of there?
17:39
Speaker 12: Jerry Jones? And my second question was how does our
17:42
Speaker 12: offensive line stack up against Seattle's? Thank you very much
17:45
Speaker 12: for taking my call.
17:46
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks, thanks for the call.
17:48
Speaker 5: This is somebody that's called before and if he hadn't
17:51
Speaker 5: called here a lot, he's called radio, you know, talk
17:54
Speaker 5: radio and stuff like that. Quick good questions to the point,
17:57
Speaker 5: boom out, All right, I think, yeah, I think Shacquelin
18:02
Speaker 5: are trying to get more money. I mean, and that's
18:04
Speaker 5: who doesn't do that? That's that. No, I don't think
18:07
Speaker 5: that's the number one thing. It's probably okay, it's probably
18:13
Speaker 5: not necessarily the most important thing for this year. But
18:18
Speaker 5: when you think about where where you're going to be
18:21
Speaker 5: next year in the year after that, yeah, I think
18:23
Speaker 5: you are. You're going to go to a team that
18:25
Speaker 5: can pay you well right now but also give you
18:29
Speaker 5: the best opportunity for a bigger contract the next year,
18:32
Speaker 5: and who really wants them as a fit, who can
18:35
Speaker 5: see him playing two to three or four more years.
18:38
Speaker 5: So that's where I think. So money, money is going
18:41
Speaker 5: to ultimately be the deciding factor, but it might not
18:44
Speaker 5: be the difference between this year and next year. So
18:48
Speaker 5: a team that says, we don't have a ton of
18:49
Speaker 5: cap room now, we pay this, but next year this
18:53
Speaker 5: opens up, and you know, we could sign you to
18:54
Speaker 5: a new deal and we think you could be this
18:56
Speaker 5: and that that might that might be something that he
18:58
Speaker 5: looks into.
19:00
Speaker 1: The running game. I think that's what he.
19:02
Speaker 5: Said, that this was the Cowboys running game against Seattle's defense.
19:07
Speaker 5: I hope that was right. I'm sorry I was writing
19:09
Speaker 5: something that I know you said running game. I'll just
19:11
Speaker 5: say both, how do I think the Cowboys running game
19:14
Speaker 5: against Seattle's defense? You know, Seattle's always gonna have aggressive defense.
19:18
Speaker 5: Bobby Wagner flies around there at linebacker. He's been doing
19:21
Speaker 5: it forever Seattle. That that's kind of the mo we
19:24
Speaker 5: talked about for Seattle. They're always going to have an
19:27
Speaker 5: aggressive type of front. But you know, the Cowboys are
19:29
Speaker 5: going to stick to it. They are going to run
19:31
Speaker 5: the football. It helps with their play action, but it
19:33
Speaker 5: also that's what they like to do. They feel like
19:36
Speaker 5: the more you can just keep doing that run and
19:38
Speaker 5: pound the ball, that helps with the with the screens
19:41
Speaker 5: that that also helps, you know, loosen up to you know,
19:43
Speaker 5: for them to play the twelve thirteen personnels that they
19:46
Speaker 5: do with the tight ends. If you're asking about the
19:48
Speaker 5: other side of the ball too, I think Seattle, I
19:50
Speaker 5: think the last caller, Sebastian kind of laid it out
19:52
Speaker 5: for you know, they're going to try to run it.
19:54
Speaker 5: They got Walker who's been banged up. He may or
19:56
Speaker 5: may not play. Charbonna's are a young guy, you know,
20:00
Speaker 5: he and he runs. He runs well, but that's not
20:03
Speaker 5: really what they do. The best I think they have
20:06
Speaker 5: they have three receivers that are there. They're the only
20:10
Speaker 5: four teams in the league have three receivers with four
20:13
Speaker 5: hundred receiving yards or more. So that just shows they
20:16
Speaker 5: have some weapons that they're not afraid to throw it around.
20:18
Speaker 5: That's probably what they do the best. And in a
20:20
Speaker 5: game like this where if the Cowboys can get on
20:22
Speaker 5: get on them then you know early, then I think
20:25
Speaker 5: Seattle is going to be forced to do that. So
20:26
Speaker 5: I don't know if the running game is going to
20:28
Speaker 5: be a huge factor for Seattle unless the Cowboys can
20:30
Speaker 5: get down early and Seattle has to try to run
20:32
Speaker 5: their way out. All right, Let's go to the next caller,
20:35
Speaker 5: also Pete from Dallas, so this this would be a repeat.
20:39
Speaker 5: I guess, Oh sorry, I had to Pete Dallas.
20:42
Speaker 1: What's up?
20:43
Speaker 11: What's going on? Nick?
20:44
Speaker 13: This is actually pet from Dallas.
20:47
Speaker 1: Pee? Okay, all good, all good? What's up?
20:51
Speaker 5: I don't even want to ask you what it stands for.
20:53
Speaker 5: I'll just say, Pete, what's up?
20:54
Speaker 14: A good? Yeah?
20:55
Speaker 13: I mean you're hearing a little bit, but I appreciate
20:58
Speaker 13: from what you're doing. First of all, Man, you know
21:00
Speaker 13: I've been a fan. Actually, just how I became a fan.
21:03
Speaker 13: I originally grew up in Ethiopia, which is East Africa.
21:06
Speaker 13: So when I grew up. I great football as a
21:08
Speaker 13: soccer okay. So when I moved to Dallas, my brother
21:11
Speaker 13: in law the first thing, the first Sunday I moved
21:14
Speaker 13: after I moved here, he said, we getting ready to
21:16
Speaker 13: watch football, and I was.
21:17
Speaker 1: Thinking it was going to be soccer, okay.
21:19
Speaker 13: So I sat down and grabbed my drink and then
21:21
Speaker 13: he popped out. It was he turned on the TV
21:24
Speaker 13: with Cowboys playing the Giants, I believe, and I didn't
21:28
Speaker 13: understand what the hell is going on? And I was like,
21:31
Speaker 13: this is out for me. And then twenty years from now,
21:34
Speaker 13: I'm a fanatic. So y'all, Yeah, I listened to y'all.
21:38
Speaker 13: Basically was about fourteenth fifteen years now, did active duty
21:43
Speaker 13: for fifteen years, so y'all put me through your show
21:45
Speaker 13: for me through seven deployments. So I just want to
21:48
Speaker 13: call it said, and I appreciate y'all. Y'all been a
21:51
Speaker 13: part of my American culture basically since since I started
21:56
Speaker 13: becoming became I became a fan of the Cowboys.
22:00
Speaker 10: Appreciate that.
22:00
Speaker 5: That is great, That is a great story. Thank you
22:03
Speaker 5: so much for for sharing that. Yeah, this is your

Speaker 5: first time to call right.
22:09
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, definitely definitely the first time thanks a lot.
22:14
Speaker 9: Man.
22:15
Speaker 13: I just want to call to say thank you.
22:16
Speaker 11: Happy holidays.

22:22
Speaker 5: All right, thank you so much, Pete, Pete, I really
22:25
Speaker 5: appreciate you.
22:26
Speaker 1: You calling in.
22:27
Speaker 5: That's cool. Yeah, that's a first time caller. I'll say,
22:31
Speaker 5: I'll say this, the the the little chime we've got there,
22:35
Speaker 5: the dan that's going away, that's going away. We're gonna,
22:38
Speaker 5: we're gonna, we're gonna change it here next week. So
22:41
Speaker 5: uh so, if you if your first time caller today,
22:44
Speaker 5: you'll you'll you'll still get it. But next week we're
22:46
Speaker 5: gonna we're gonna move it to something else, something a
22:48
Speaker 5: little more cowboys themed.
22:50
Speaker 1: I think you'll like that.
22:51
Speaker 5: All Right, We've got another another question here for the
22:56
Speaker 5: text line dot. He's from Allentown, Pennsylvania. He says the
23:01
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three drafts has been disappointing. Schoonmaker looks like
23:03
Speaker 5: a near in headlights. He wanted Torrents the Guard, but
23:11
Speaker 5: he's a question. Is Mozzie Smith developing? He said, I
23:14
Speaker 5: love to pick the time, and where is Fajoko? Too
23:16
Speaker 5: bad about overshown? Thanks for a great show, Thank you,
23:19
Speaker 5: Thanks Doc.
23:20
Speaker 1: All Right, you know.
23:22
Speaker 5: I mean it's yeah, it has. It's been disappointing because
23:25
Speaker 5: you expect, you expect the class to be better, you
23:29
Speaker 5: expect somebody in the class to kind of be a
23:32
Speaker 5: difference maker, and it hasn't happened. So let's just leave
23:36
Speaker 5: it at that, because you know, you can, you can
23:39
Speaker 5: make some excuses here and there and say think about it,
23:42
Speaker 5: you know, and and the reality of it is is
23:44
Speaker 5: that this has been a tough roster to make. I mean,
23:47
Speaker 5: this is a twelve and five team. Two years in
23:49
Speaker 5: a row. They're not picking at the top of the draft,
23:52
Speaker 5: and you know they it's it's just difficult for these
23:55
Speaker 5: guys to beat out the guys in front of them.
23:57
Speaker 5: I mean, look at the last two years. Those guys
24:00
Speaker 5: are still trying to figure out. Some of them are
24:03
Speaker 5: trying to get on the field and do some things.
24:05
Speaker 5: The Chauncey Golstons of the world and Mkuamu and Naseean Wright.
24:10
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's not always working out for them. So,
24:14
Speaker 5: I mean, Kelvin Joseph was the second round pick no
24:16
Speaker 5: longer here. So you know, Sam Williams's He's made it
24:20
Speaker 5: known he's trying to get more snaps and all that
24:23
Speaker 5: kind of stuff too. So it's just not it's a
24:26
Speaker 5: good talented roster, and it's not easy for these guys
24:29
Speaker 5: to come in and contribute right away and beat the
24:31
Speaker 5: guys in front of them. That being said, you still
24:34
Speaker 5: expect one, two, three guys to kind of be a
24:37
Speaker 5: difference maker, and it just hasn't happened. So there's reason
24:40
Speaker 5: that you could be disappointed. It doesn't mean that they
24:43
Speaker 5: won't get to that point. And you know, Scoon Maker,
24:46
Speaker 5: I think.
24:46
Speaker 1: It's his eyes.
24:47
Speaker 5: I think it's just that's just the way he looks.
24:49
Speaker 5: He looks like here in headlights, because that's that's the
24:51
Speaker 5: way he looks. I mean, but he's getting he's getting better,
24:55
Speaker 5: he's making plays, and the best thing about it is
24:57
Speaker 5: that Dak trusts him. He trusts him to make plays.
24:59
Speaker 5: He's go keep throwing out him. He's open, he's on
25:01
Speaker 5: the field, He's gonna throw his way. We've seen it
25:04
Speaker 5: time and time again, and I think that will only
25:07
Speaker 5: help him. He's a good blocker now, he's a big,
25:09
Speaker 5: strong guy. Once he figures this out a little bit more,
25:12
Speaker 5: makes some catches and get maybe maybe builds even more
25:15
Speaker 5: confidence in himself. I think he's going to be a
25:18
Speaker 5: good player. I really do. Mazzi, same thing, same, same thing,
25:21
Speaker 5: and overshowing. You know, it's too bad about the injury,
25:24
Speaker 5: but I think he's a guy that will certainly help
25:26
Speaker 5: them down the road. Here, all right, let's go to
25:28
Speaker 5: the next caller. It's Dustin. He's in Walksahatchee, Texas. Dustin there, Hey.
25:34
Speaker 1: Man, how are you ser good man?
25:36
Speaker 15: How about you?
25:36
Speaker 1: I'm great, great, thanks for calling today.
25:39
Speaker 15: Yeah, of course you tan. Obviously love your book, love
25:41
Speaker 15: all the stories you tell.
25:43
Speaker 1: Thank you.
25:44
Speaker 15: My number one player of all time is hands down,
25:47
Speaker 15: Tony Romo. It's not even close. Huge fan of his.
25:51
Speaker 15: I had actually season tickets Dax's rookie year and almost
25:55
Speaker 15: sold them when Romo got hurt in the preseason because
25:58
Speaker 15: I was like, man, that's it. And obviously it was
26:00
Speaker 15: a great run. Fun, you know, fun to see it happened.
26:03
Speaker 15: So yeah, yeah, it ended up being a good decision. Still,
26:07
Speaker 15: was kind of bummed at the Green Bay game that
26:09
Speaker 15: they didn't didn't go back to Romo. The way that
26:11
Speaker 15: game started. I just felt like he was poised and ready.
26:14
Speaker 15: But hey, it's in it's in the past. We can't
26:17
Speaker 15: do anything about it. I had a really quick story
26:20
Speaker 15: for you and then just wanted to talk about the
26:21
Speaker 15: Cowboys home Fiel advantage, and so you mentioned dor Set
26:26
Speaker 15: and him kind of giving you a point at one
26:27
Speaker 15: point when you went to a game or something back
26:30
Speaker 15: in the day. I actually had a very similar experience
26:33
Speaker 15: with EMMITTT.
26:34
Speaker 12: Smith.
26:35
Speaker 15: If you remember, in the old Texas Stadium, they had
26:37
Speaker 15: those bleachers that were in the end zone in front
26:40
Speaker 15: of the fans, the actual stands, And so I went
26:44
Speaker 15: with the church group one time to a game and
26:46
Speaker 15: we bought some tickets from someone outside the stadium and
26:49
Speaker 15: that's where they were, but they were trying to sell
26:52
Speaker 15: us as different tickets, and so luckily I talked them
26:54
Speaker 15: into buying the tickets. We sat there remembers against the
26:57
Speaker 15: Falcons and EMMITTT. Smith scored a touchdown in an end zone,
27:01
Speaker 15: and of course, at you know, ten, twelve thirteen year
27:03
Speaker 15: old me, I don't know how old I was at
27:04
Speaker 15: that point, was screaming and pointing and pointing, and then
27:07
Speaker 15: he just gave me a head nod and a point,
27:09
Speaker 15: and you would have thought got himself pointed at me.
27:12
Speaker 15: That day. I was super pumped, so I definitely understand
27:16
Speaker 15: that feeling on the home field advantage front. I remember
27:21
Speaker 15: the first time I kind of saw it at at
27:22
Speaker 15: and T and it was actually in the Detroit Lions
27:26
Speaker 15: playoff game back in twenty fifteen. It was it was super,
27:31
Speaker 15: I don't know, just boring at the stadium once it
27:34
Speaker 15: was built, it just felt more like an entertainment venue
27:36
Speaker 15: and not really a football venue. And I think the
27:41
Speaker 15: first time I saw it at a game personally was
27:43
Speaker 15: at that Detroit playoff game back in twenty fifteen, and
27:47
Speaker 15: I actually had the pleasure of taking a flight and
27:50
Speaker 15: sitting beside an offensive lineman for the Lions the following season,
27:56
Speaker 15: and I actually asked him about it and he said, yeah,
27:58
Speaker 15: he goes that. Honestly, coming into the stadium, everybody called
28:00
Speaker 15: it Jerry's wine and cheese party, and he said, but
28:03
Speaker 15: when we walked onto that field that day was just different.
28:07
Speaker 15: And I can just remember that because it was and
28:10
Speaker 15: walking out of the stadium obviously was great. And then
28:12
Speaker 15: you've seen it, you know, periodic games have been definitely
28:14
Speaker 15: the last couple of years, it's been a huge, huge
28:18
Speaker 15: change from what it was early on, and so it's
28:20
Speaker 15: great to see because that that can make a difference
28:23
Speaker 15: in a season in standings and things like that. So
28:26
Speaker 15: those Cowboys players need to fans need to keep showing
28:29

Speaker 5: are coming in, they're they're they're they're proud of what
29:16
Speaker 5: they're you know, their team. They're doing everything right, cheering
29:20
Speaker 5: at the right times. Uh, for the most part. You know,
29:23
Speaker 5: sometimes they'll throw away every now and again in the offense.
29:26
Speaker 5: But whatever they they've done a really really good job
29:29
Speaker 5: of being you know, the home field advantage. Give the
29:32
Speaker 5: Cowboys operations some some credit as well. You know, they
29:36
Speaker 5: they know this. They they see it's it's a it's
29:39
Speaker 5: a big deal to them. They I mean, some of
29:41
Speaker 5: those people in that crew they go to other other stadiums,
29:44
Speaker 5: other teams, other arenas and you know, NBA all they
29:47
Speaker 5: see what's happening, they see what fans, how to engage
29:49
Speaker 5: with fans. So they've done a really good job with that,
29:52
Speaker 5: some of the music that they play knowing that the
29:55
Speaker 5: fans will get involved. You hear that as well. Give
29:58
Speaker 5: give credit to the the stadium operations part of the
30:03
Speaker 5: team of getting people in the stadium. You know, there's
30:05
Speaker 5: been some times where it was tough to you know,
30:08
Speaker 5: there's a huge back up here and it took forever
30:10
Speaker 5: to get people in the stadium and all that kind
30:11
Speaker 5: of stuff. You don't see that anymore. We saw a
30:13
Speaker 5: noon game the other day where I mean they were
30:16
Speaker 5: going nuts. Was that Rams game at.
30:17
Speaker 1: Noon and they had you.
30:19
Speaker 5: Know, they were probably ninety five percent capacity at that
30:23
Speaker 5: point in noon and tiles waving and everybody ready to go,
30:26
Speaker 5: and it was a difference maker right off the start.
30:28
Speaker 5: So I think everybody gets a little credit and the
30:30
Speaker 5: team as well. The team is playing well at home,
30:33
Speaker 5: they're giving the fans something to cheer about, so all
30:34

Speaker 5: have transferred to Fresno if it wasn't for COVID. Right, yeah,
33:15
Speaker 5: are you familiar with that story? I mean I kind
33:17
Speaker 5: of read a little bit the other day, Sacramento State,
33:20
Speaker 5: they weren't going to play football.
33:21
Speaker 1: Then he went to Fresno sacrament and.
33:23
Speaker 17: Then and then right at the end, that's when he
33:25
Speaker 17: switched over and played his last year over there Fresnent State.
33:28
Speaker 17: So yeah, man, it's awesome.
33:30
Speaker 5: And the rest is NFL history is what they I
33:33
Speaker 5: guess they would say, that's awesome.
33:34
Speaker 17: It's awesome to hear the national media talk about Fresno. Man,
33:37
Speaker 17: it's just it's just awesome.
33:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
33:40
Speaker 17: I just I wanted to throw a couple of.
33:41
Speaker 12: Things out at you.
33:43
Speaker 17: Bold prediction, fleet flicker, and I think it's going to
33:47
Speaker 17: be Cooks. It's going to be Pollard slip back to
33:51
Speaker 17: deck to Cooks in the end zone.
33:53
Speaker 9: So I wanted to give you that one.
33:55
Speaker 17: And then we finally got our speed guy, the one
33:57
Speaker 17: you've been talking about. Turping. Man, I think I think
33:59
Speaker 17: he's ready to go. Man, he looks good, seam up
34:02
Speaker 17: the middle.
34:03
Speaker 9: It's yeah, he's just killing the man.
34:05
Speaker 1: That's cool, is yeah.
34:07
Speaker 17: I think they're listening to you. I think they're listening
34:10
Speaker 17: to the show.
34:10
Speaker 9: Man.
34:11
Speaker 5: Hey, if they were listening to the show, they would
34:13
Speaker 5: run more flee flickers. Obviously. If you guys know must
34:16
Speaker 5: dance on the flea flicker. I would run one one
34:19
Speaker 5: a game.
34:20
Speaker 1: I really do. I have said it before.
34:21
Speaker 5: If people that are you know, haven't heard that before,
34:24
Speaker 5: I think I would run it once again. And you
34:27
Speaker 5: can say all you want to about while they would
34:29
Speaker 5: be onto you if that happened.
34:30
Speaker 9: Cool.
34:31
Speaker 5: Let the safeties think that every time the running back
34:34
Speaker 5: has the ball he might pitch it back that that
34:37
Speaker 5: only helps you. I just I just don't see why
34:40
Speaker 5: it would be that bad. Now, you've got to make
34:42
Speaker 5: sure you can get it blocked. If your offensive line
34:44
Speaker 5: is not very good, which this team is, they can block.
34:47
Speaker 5: But I mean, I think it's it's something that should
34:50
Speaker 5: be used more.
34:50
Speaker 1: I just don't see.
34:51
Speaker 5: And I've asked offensive coaches. I've asked, I've asked head coaches,
34:54
Speaker 5: I've asked play callers. They don't give me a really
34:56
Speaker 5: good answer of why they don't do it. More So,
34:59
Speaker 5: if it it happens in the game for the Cowboys
35:01
Speaker 5: and they score a touchdown, Twitter will break. It will break.
35:06
Speaker 5: My Twitter will break. It breaks every time somebody scores.
35:09
Speaker 5: If Rutgers does it against against you know, Ohio State,
35:13
Speaker 5: it happens, and I get I get.
35:15
Speaker 1: Him three or four text I can't imagine, or the tweets.
35:18
Speaker 5: I can't imagine what would happen in a Cowboy game
35:20
Speaker 5: if they score a touchdown?
35:22
Speaker 17: And then last thing, I always throw a couple of numbers.
35:24
Speaker 17: I don't know if you remember Dexter kok Lee, Yeah,
35:26
Speaker 17: through Greg Ally, so here we go, uh, Brady James,
35:30
Speaker 17: and then just a name as a kid, always stuck out.
35:33
Speaker 17: Evanezer Ekuban, yep, always stuck out to me. Oh yeah,
35:38
Speaker 17: have a good day, Nick, and appreciate you man.
35:40
Speaker 5: All right, awesome, thank you for the call. Yeah, Ebenezer Acubon.
35:44
Speaker 5: That was my first draft that I covered for the Cowboys,
35:48
Speaker 5: I believe ninety nine. Actually that's not not true. My
35:52
Speaker 5: first draft was two thousand. Didn't have a pick, but
35:55
Speaker 5: ninety nine was my first season. He was a rookie
35:57
Speaker 5: that year, and uh yeah, he was a It was
35:59
Speaker 5: a great, really really cool dude. You know, he ended
36:02
Speaker 5: up playing. I think he played the nine seasons in
36:05
Speaker 5: the league, because at least nine or ten, because I
36:09
Speaker 5: know when we went to Denver in two thousand and
36:11
Speaker 5: eight for a couple of days to practice with them,
36:14
Speaker 5: a bunch of fights. But Ebenezer was there with the Broncos,
36:20
Speaker 5: you know, and that at that point ninety eight or
36:22
Speaker 5: two thousand and eight, it was his tenth year, so
36:25
Speaker 5: he played at least ten years. Good good career, good
36:28
Speaker 5: solid career.
36:30
Speaker 1: You know, he just he was. He wasn't you know what.
36:34
Speaker 5: They needed him as a as a pass rusher. They
36:37
Speaker 5: needed him to be a little bit better there. But
36:39
Speaker 5: for the most part, you know, good solid gold salt
36:41
Speaker 5: player and great dude for sure, Ebenezer. I coudb All right,
36:45
Speaker 5: let's keep keep.
36:46
Speaker 1: It rolling here. We got another question. Let's go let's
36:49
Speaker 1: go back to the phone line. We got Skylar. He's
36:50
Speaker 1: in Washington, Skyler, how you doing?
36:56
Speaker 9: I head out of Carlin of the day.
37:00
Speaker 5: It seems like the windows are cracked. I don't know
37:02
Speaker 5: if your head's out the window. I mean, you still
37:04
Speaker 5: kind of hear it. But it's okay, man, that's who.
37:06
Speaker 1: That's what you do. I appreciate you calling. What do
37:08
Speaker 1: you got?
37:10
Speaker 9: So one thing, Jesse Holly, if you're listening, this is
37:14
Speaker 9: the People Show, not the other show that I was
37:18
Speaker 9: wanting to get that out.
37:19
Speaker 1: Tell them you tell them, Jesse Holly. Appreciate that.
37:25
Speaker 9: So I had this thought of.
37:29
Speaker 8: Did the Patriots from like the last twenty years set
37:35
Speaker 8: a standard and I'm realistic thought props ups for fans
37:41
Speaker 8: and thinking it so easy to get to the super
37:43
Speaker 8: Bowl consistently or the Efty Championship or nifty Championship consistent
37:48
Speaker 8: as they did when Brady was still there.
37:51
Speaker 9: I just wanted to kind of hear your thoughts on match.
37:54
Speaker 9: I know, we always have a high expectation of the
37:57
Speaker 9: Cowboys to get the Super Bowl, and fortunately.
38:00
Speaker 14: It had not happened in the time.
38:01
Speaker 9: I've been a fan since ninety seven, So well, all right,
38:07
Speaker 9: and you know, we take a lot of Flackers fans,
38:10
Speaker 9: so we're always crowded. Still highlight every year, even when
38:14
Speaker 9: we have a bad name.
38:16
Speaker 1: I hear you. Yeah, I mean, thanks for the call.
38:21
Speaker 15: You know.
38:22
Speaker 5: Here, here's the thing about that, Like you're right, expectations
38:25
Speaker 5: are always there, but get there. I mean, I mean,
38:30
Speaker 5: like the yeah, you can't say that about the Patriots,
38:33
Speaker 5: but they've been to like eight or nine or something
38:36
Speaker 5: like that. I mean, they they've been to a lot
38:37
Speaker 5: and and uh, you know, so so okay, that's unrealistic,
38:41
Speaker 5: the Patriot unrealistic. But the Cardinals have gone to the
38:44
Speaker 5: super Bowl, you know, and and the last I don't know,
38:47
Speaker 5: ten twelve years. I mean they they they've made it.
38:49
Speaker 5: You know, the Saints finally got there. They won, you know,
38:53
Speaker 5: Falcons have made it. You know almost one should have
38:55
Speaker 5: should have probably won, but didn't because of the Patriots.
38:58
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying, so I hear what you're saying.
39:01
Speaker 5: But but you can't blame the fans for like, you know,
39:04
Speaker 5: you can't blame a twenty seven year old cowboy fan
39:09
Speaker 5: who has never seen his team in the NFC championship game.
39:11
Speaker 5: I mean, especially these callers that call in like that.
39:15
Speaker 5: I mean, that's how invested they are. They're big time fans.
39:18
Speaker 5: They want this success. It's the greatest feeling in the world.
39:21
Speaker 5: It's the greatest feeling. You know, you get to say
39:24
Speaker 5: we yeah, because when I hate when people say that,
39:26
Speaker 5: like we, like, did you really play?
39:30
Speaker 1: Damn right?
39:31
Speaker 5: You're damn right, it's we you know, think about how
39:34
Speaker 5: how how much how invested these people are, these fans
39:37
Speaker 5: are So your team finally gets to that point win
39:40
Speaker 5: or lose, you know, because you feel bad when they lose.
39:43
Speaker 5: You feel great when they win. These damn right as
39:45
Speaker 5: we and uh and so I fall somewhere in between.
39:50
Speaker 5: Expectations are high, but this fan base deserves to get
39:54
Speaker 5: there because they are They are a big time fan
39:57
Speaker 5: basis as America's team, and you know they need to
39:59
Speaker 5: see their team get to that point. So I don't
40:02
Speaker 5: fault them at all for that. All right, let's go
40:04
Speaker 5: to a Pete in Connecticut again. This is a real repeat.
40:07
Speaker 1: Are you calling back?
40:09
Speaker 11: This is the repeat?
40:10
Speaker 12: And I've been a fan long enough. I'm thirty four now,
40:13
Speaker 12: So when I was just a little kid, I saw
40:15
Speaker 12: Dallas actually win a couple of Super Bowls. But I
40:18
Speaker 12: was wondering, My question is, do you think the curse
40:21
Speaker 12: will be lifted after getting Jimmy Johnson in the Ring
40:24
Speaker 12: of Honor Because a lot of these teams that we've
40:27
Speaker 12: seen go to the playoffs have had the worst ways
40:30
Speaker 12: they've lost, coming from the Yes Brian patch to the
40:34
Speaker 12: two thousand and seven Giants loss, and you know, I
40:37
Speaker 12: just feel like those are all curse type plays that
40:39
Speaker 12: we lost on. So it was just wondering what your
40:42
Speaker 12: thought was, Nick.
40:43
Speaker 5: All right, thanks for thanks all for the call again.
40:47
Speaker 5: Now that's a first I think for the show. I
40:48
Speaker 5: don't believe we've Chris.
40:50
Speaker 1: We never had.
40:51
Speaker 5: We never had a guy called two times in one show,
40:54
Speaker 5: first time, first time, for the second time, for the
40:57
Speaker 5: for the first time, for a second time.
40:58
Speaker 1: Whatever, All right? Cool?
41:00
Speaker 5: Uh Pete and Connecticut. That's awesome, the two best calls
41:04
Speaker 5: we've had from Connecticut, I think right there.
41:08
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't. I don't buy into that.
41:11
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't.
41:12
Speaker 11: I know.
41:13
Speaker 5: This isn't the first time I've said that. I don't
41:14
Speaker 5: buy into the curse from Jimmy Johnson. I just I'm sorry,
41:17
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't think that way because, and I'll
41:19
Speaker 5: say it again, they've won a super Bowl after him,
41:22
Speaker 5: they did, so Now, I don't think that that's a
41:24
Speaker 5: curse of Jimmy Johnson. He left, they didn't work out.
41:28
Speaker 5: Whatever it is, Jimmy Jerry didn't. It didn't work out,
41:31
Speaker 5: so he didn't want to. He said it so many times.
41:34
Speaker 5: He's never really been at a place more than five years.
41:36
Speaker 5: Go back and look at his track record. That was
41:39
Speaker 5: his fifth year. He didn't stay in Miami, the University
41:42
Speaker 5: of Miami not very long. He didn't stayed Oklahoma State
41:44
Speaker 5: before that very long. When he went to the Dolphins,
41:46
Speaker 5: he wasn't there. I mean he doesn't stay now Fox.
41:50
Speaker 5: I mean, how hard is that. I mean he gets
41:52
Speaker 5: to go up there and you know, and and and
41:54
Speaker 5: be on the set and talk football, talk ball. I mean,
41:56
Speaker 5: it's a perfect job for him. That's why he's never
41:59
Speaker 5: left it, because you know, and he's and he's good
42:02
Speaker 5: at it. He's really good at it. But I'm just
42:04
Speaker 5: you know, I I don't believe in the curse.
42:06
Speaker 1: I don't.
42:06
Speaker 5: I think the Cowboys just have not been good enough
42:09
Speaker 5: in all the ways that you have to be good
42:10
Speaker 5: and great and lucky in all that mix mixture. It
42:13
Speaker 5: just hasn't worked out. I don't think putting Jimmy Johnson's
42:16
Speaker 5: name in the Ring of Honor is going to change that.
42:18
Speaker 5: I don't think that way. If the Cowboys get in
42:21
Speaker 5: this year, it's not gonna be because of that. It's
42:23
Speaker 5: gonna because they finally made enough place to do that.
42:26
Speaker 5: That's that's what I believe. You guys believe differently that
42:28
Speaker 5: that's fine.
42:29
Speaker 11: You know.
42:29
Speaker 1: That's why I don't look at my horse goope. I don't.
42:31
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily believe in all that some people do.
42:34
Speaker 5: It's all good. If you do, you're not wrong. I
42:36
Speaker 5: don't think I'm wrong either. All right, Brian in Kansas City.
42:39
Speaker 5: Bryan is next.
42:40
Speaker 1: What's up?
42:41
Speaker 11: Hey? Good morning, Neck? How are you?
42:42
Speaker 1: Good morning? I'm good. How are you?
42:45
Speaker 11: I'm good man, I'm good. I didn't get to listen
42:48
Speaker 11: to the first half hour, So if I repeat anything,
42:50
Speaker 11: I'm so sorry.
42:52
Speaker 1: That's all right, this is a repeat show.
42:54
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's it.
42:55
Speaker 11: Hey, So are you gonna have Woody on now that?
42:58
Speaker 11: Now that he's on the.
42:59
Speaker 1: List again, I'll have Woody on if he's on.
43:02
Speaker 5: He doesn't have to be on any list to have
43:04
Speaker 5: Darren Woodson come on. If he wants to come on,
43:06
Speaker 5: he can. I haven't asked him lately, but I need to.
43:10
Speaker 5: I need to for sure.
43:11
Speaker 11: So yeah, now I both both of them. And I
43:14
Speaker 11: wanted to point out but I loved I didn't get
43:17
Speaker 11: to I didn't get through that day. I tried, but
43:19
Speaker 11: I didn't get through that day. I got I got
43:21
Speaker 11: through when Nate, Nate from Firstco was on, and you know,
43:26
Speaker 11: going back, I don't know if you remember that call,
43:28
Speaker 11: but I asked him two questions, how many games would
43:31
Speaker 11: it take the offensive line to gel and he said three,
43:34
Speaker 11: that's right. We and then we asked him I asked him,
43:38
Speaker 11: And then you asked him was that smart for McCarthy
43:40
Speaker 11: to do that? I asked him how long for a
43:43
Speaker 11: new offense to click? And he said eight games? And
43:49
Speaker 11: you said, well was it smart to do that?
43:52
Speaker 1: Right?
43:52
Speaker 11: Right?
43:52
Speaker 4: You know so?
43:53
Speaker 11: But no kidding, looked like he was pretty much right
43:55
Speaker 11: on both.
43:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, and those are good questions by you. And also,
43:58
Speaker 5: didn't didn't you ask me the trivia? Are still mad
44:01
Speaker 5: about the trivia question that I didn't get right about this?
44:05
Speaker 11: You you were right about your answer.
44:08
Speaker 1: Woodson didn't start, didn't start, did he? Yeah?
44:11
Speaker 5: But the starters, DERMANI Dawson, I just you know, I
44:15
Speaker 5: barely know that these linemen.
44:17
Speaker 1: I didn't.
44:18
Speaker 5: I didn't remember him as a as a Hall of Famer.
44:22
Speaker 5: But yeah, great question though, really really was it was
44:25
Speaker 5: a really good question, Uh, trying.
44:27
Speaker 11: To find one because you're so good with the with
44:29
Speaker 11: the history and the trivia stuff. And yeah, and I'm
44:32
Speaker 11: still mad because my mom told me I couldn't that
44:35
Speaker 11: being a Cowboys fan wasn't a job, and I didn't
44:38
Speaker 11: get anywhere with it.
44:39
Speaker 5: Well, it's not, it's not. I mean I got I
44:42
Speaker 5: got very lucky. I mean, think about it. I mean,
44:45
Speaker 5: who gets to be, you know, in their senior year
44:49
Speaker 5: of college. The Dallas Cowboys just show up and say, hey,
44:52
Speaker 5: we we We're gonna have a training camp here. You
44:55
Speaker 5: guys need you guys have any you know, any of
44:57
Speaker 5: anybody that wants to be a writer. I mean, like,
44:59
Speaker 5: come on, I mean, it's just it was It's so lucky.
45:02
Speaker 1: And that's why.
45:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's and I've done that. I've talked
45:07
Speaker 5: to kids in school before, you know, they asked questions,
45:11
Speaker 5: how can I do that? And I'm just like you,
45:14
Speaker 5: you know, you have to just be prepared when when
45:17
Speaker 5: your opportunity comes. I'm not going to say that the
45:19
Speaker 5: New York Yankees are going to just show up at
45:21
Speaker 5: your door and say, hey, you guys need to you know,
45:23
Speaker 5: you need a writer. Didn't work that way. But I
45:26
Speaker 5: just have to be prepared for it. And I think
45:28
Speaker 5: I was, you know, and because I was preparing my
45:30
Speaker 5: whole life for this. I was preparing my whole life
45:33
Speaker 5: for this, you know. I mean I knew I didn't
45:35
Speaker 5: know anything about social studies and all that stuff. I
45:38
Speaker 5: knew Garth Jacks was a linebacker in the eighty I
45:40
Speaker 5: knew him, you know. I mean that's that's the thing.
45:43
Speaker 5: He's got the coolest name too, I mean all name
45:45
Speaker 5: team Garth Jacks as a linebacker.
45:48
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome.
45:49
Speaker 11: Absolute. Hey, so I got I got two more things
45:52
Speaker 11: for you.
45:52
Speaker 1: Okay.
45:53
Speaker 11: So I was not terribly upset that we didn't find
45:56
Speaker 11: Leonard before he left. Yeah, you know, there's there's bad
46:00
Speaker 11: to everything. And you know, for whatever reason, Jerry's not
46:04
Speaker 11: returning my calls. So I don't know was it money
46:07
Speaker 11: or was it medicals? Yeah, so youah, or some combination
46:11
Speaker 11: thereof or just fit. But you know, there's good and
46:15
Speaker 11: bad everybody. You know, it's a trade deadline. We kind
46:18
Speaker 11: of heard the same thing. You know, everybody wants to
46:19
Speaker 11: make a deal, make a deal. Not all deals work out, right.
46:23
Speaker 11: We paid Taco Charlton a ton of money to not
46:25
Speaker 11: play for us. We paid what's his name that I
46:29
Speaker 11: think he's still playing for the Giants, the linebacker Smith.
46:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, j I don't know if he's still in the league,
46:35
Speaker 1: but yeah, I thought he was.
46:36
Speaker 11: Still in the league this year. Maybe then we got
46:39
Speaker 11: one that isn't We're paying somebody this year eight million
46:42
Speaker 11: dollars he's not in the league.
46:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so not all deals.
46:46
Speaker 11: You know, not all deals work out, and maybe there
46:49
Speaker 11: was something there, maybe there was a reason not to
46:51
Speaker 11: sign them. So you know, I do understand that. You know,
46:54
Speaker 11: LV went down. There's a hole there. We'd like to
46:57
Speaker 11: fill it. Maybe there just wasn't a fit there.
47:01
Speaker 1: Okay, no, no, no, go ahead, go ahead. I'll answer
47:04
Speaker 1: that in a second.
47:05
Speaker 11: Okay, sure. And then the last one I had was,
47:07
Speaker 11: you know, we never I've never heard anybody ask you
47:10
Speaker 11: for a story of one of the guys that works there.
47:13
Speaker 11: So I was thinking maybe you'd come up with a
47:14
Speaker 11: good Bury Church story.
47:16
Speaker 1: Barry Church.
47:17
Speaker 11: Okay, all right, brother, yeah, man, have a good day.
47:21
Speaker 5: You gotta go with all right, here's the thing about
47:23
Speaker 5: about Shaq Leonard that you know he he's gonna make
47:28
Speaker 5: more money. He needs to leave him, He needs to
47:31
Speaker 5: leave the building, go to to a rival, go to
47:33
Speaker 5: a team that has a better record. You know, he
47:36
Speaker 5: can get more money, maybe with Philly because he was
47:38
Speaker 5: with Dallas. He'd get more money with Dallas because he
47:40
Speaker 5: went to Philly, or go to another team. If you
47:42
Speaker 5: just sit here and sign I mean the Cowboys would
47:44
Speaker 5: have to throw a boatload of money at him. And
47:46
Speaker 5: I don't think that's that's where he is in his career.
47:49
Speaker 5: It's got to be the right fit. But he also
47:51
Speaker 5: understands his agent knows Hey, in order to make this
47:55
Speaker 5: the right way, we're gonna have to get a little
47:56
Speaker 5: bit more money here. We're gonna have to show that
47:58
Speaker 5: there's more interest. Whether or not he might have loved
48:00
Speaker 5: this visit said oh I'm signing here. Let me go
48:03
Speaker 5: do what I need to do, maybe get a few
48:04
Speaker 5: more bucks out of it. But I mean, I think
48:06
Speaker 5: this is all part of the process.
48:08
Speaker 1: Barry Church. When Barry Church.
48:11
Speaker 5: Signed as a free agent, I remember thinking, this guy's
48:14
Speaker 5: making the team. Rookie free agent, He's making the team.
48:16
Speaker 5: When I saw four year first team All MAC performer,
48:21
Speaker 5: I mean that's they have good football. They played good
48:24
Speaker 5: football in the MAC at Toledo and he was first
48:27
Speaker 5: team safety case his forty wasn't the fastest, cool, good, good,
48:32
Speaker 5: solid player, very smart player.
48:34
Speaker 1: I knew he was going to make this team.
48:37
Speaker 5: Funny story out of Barry Church, though, is when he
48:40
Speaker 5: at training camp he missed practice because he had like
48:43
Speaker 5: a tooth injury, I guess, or I don't want to say,
48:46
Speaker 5: as a tooth thing. It was like way worse than that,
48:50
Speaker 5: and he missed practicing in a lot of pain. And
48:53
Speaker 5: I don't know what he had eaten or whatever. But
48:56
Speaker 5: the company, the candy peeps, you know, I'm talking about
49:00
Speaker 5: the little marshmallows they sent. They just didn't send the box.
49:04
Speaker 5: They sent a crate, like a palette of peeps, I
49:09
Speaker 5: mean millions on this huge palette to give to him
49:13
Speaker 5: to say, hey, I want you to have a softer candy.
49:15
Speaker 5: I think he sent it back a part of that,
49:17
Speaker 5: but you know so, and then they that that's my
49:21
Speaker 5: very church story. All right, we got one more caller.
49:23
Speaker 5: We got to get in real quick. Steve in New York, Steve,
49:25
Speaker 5: what's up?
49:26
Speaker 14: Well, it's up, just real quick.
49:28
Speaker 10: I want to vent.
49:29
Speaker 14: But I just want to say the first Thursday Night game,
49:31
Speaker 14: I'm going to show my age here. I remember as
49:33
Speaker 14: like a nine year old kid, nineteen seventy eight, so
49:37
Speaker 14: you could check that. But I think they lost that
49:40
Speaker 14: game to the Vikings. I remember watching it so as
49:43
Speaker 14: a kid. Just my quick man. I know some people
49:45
Speaker 14: are going to get picked off about this. I just
49:47
Speaker 14: want to preface it by saying, I hope these guys
49:50
Speaker 14: make the most money that they can. I have it
49:53
Speaker 14: all right. No, listen to the NFL players compared to
49:55
Speaker 14: their baseball bat they're not, say, underpaid, but no guarantee.
49:59
Speaker 15: Come.
50:00
Speaker 14: I hope these guys make as much as they can.
50:02
Speaker 14: With that said, I do not want to talk about
50:06
Speaker 14: awards MVPs Defensive Player of the Year. Listen, there's one
50:11
Speaker 14: thing we want to do. There's one award, slash Trophy.
50:15
Speaker 14: I'm interested in, and I think we all are. I
50:17
Speaker 14: just I don't like all the talk about personal accolade.
50:21
Speaker 14: They're great, I get it. Provo. Yeah, I'm going to
50:23
Speaker 14: vote once and that's going to be the end of it.
50:25
Speaker 14: But let's win, you know what I mean.
50:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, I hear your point. I'll say this though.
50:32
Speaker 5: To me, I always tell people, enjoy the ride, enjoy
50:35
Speaker 5: this thing, because you don't win the Super Bowl in
50:37
Speaker 5: November or or even in December. So I like the records,
50:40
Speaker 5: I like the game. This is the first game that
50:42
Speaker 5: this happened. This is the first time this happened. Because
50:45
Speaker 5: that's how I stay in the moment, That's how I
50:48
Speaker 5: stay in there. I if I if, I just think
50:50
Speaker 5: that cool, good win, But do they win the Super Bowl,
50:53
Speaker 5: then you're then you're just you're you're not enjoying the ride.
50:56
Speaker 5: Think about think about April and May.
50:58
Speaker 1: How fun is that?
50:59
Speaker 5: It's not because it's not football season, and we wait
51:03
Speaker 5: so long to get the football season, and then we
51:05
Speaker 5: get the football season and we don't enjoy it because
51:08
Speaker 5: we're sitting here thinking, Wow, you gotta win super Bowl,
51:09
Speaker 5: got to win the playoffs. Good win, Good job Dak.
51:11
Speaker 5: But what happens in the playoffs we'll see. But let's
51:15
Speaker 5: that's why the games like Deron Bland getting this record
51:18
Speaker 5: and this record and all that, that is what keeps
51:21
Speaker 5: me focused every single week. Let's enjoy the Seattle game
51:24
Speaker 5: for what it is. I don't know what's gonna happen.
51:26
Speaker 5: Maybe it'll be something cool we haven't seen. But I mean,
51:29
Speaker 5: they're not going to make the playoffs after this game,
51:31
Speaker 5: win or lose.
51:31
Speaker 8: They're not.
51:32
Speaker 5: But that's how I stay in it. I'm not telling
51:35
Speaker 5: anyone how to be a fan. If it's all about
51:37
Speaker 5: super Bowl, I get it, But to me, it takes
51:40
Speaker 5: a little bit of the fun out. When you're talking
51:41
Speaker 5: about the draft next year, you're talking about the super Bowl.
51:45
Speaker 5: Let's talk about Thursday night speaking of and the last
51:47
Speaker 5: thing I'll say is you were jet on the money,
51:50
Speaker 5: Steve when you said nineteen seventy eight first Thursday game
51:53
Speaker 5: that wasn't Thanksgiving. They played in Minnesota. They lost nineteen
51:57
Speaker 5: seventy eight lost twenty one to ten. But you're right
51:59
Speaker 5: about that is the first Thursday night game. I didn't
52:02
Speaker 5: know that they've played ten times on Thursday. That was
52:04
Speaker 5: not our Thanksgiving Day game. All right, we gotta get
52:06
Speaker 5: out here. Cowboys Breaks coming in for Chris Beam. I'm
52:09
Speaker 5: nick even We will see you Monday, maybe a different time.
52:12
Speaker 5: Will figure that out, may have a little bit longer
52:14
Speaker 5: show on Monday, but we will let you know about
52:17
Speaker 5: that when we will.
52:17
Speaker 1: That's not true.
52:19
Speaker 5: We're gonna be back here Friday, right after the game,
52:21
Speaker 5: So our next show will be Friday ten am regular time.
52:24

52:27
Speaker 5: will see you on Friday.
