Speaker 1: Welcome to the Cowboys Storyline, the Halloween edition. It is Thursday,
0:44
Speaker 1: October thirty. First, if you didn't think this season was
0:48
Speaker 1: scaring enough, let's just throw a little Halloween action on it.
0:52
Speaker 1: Cowboys three and four here as we close out the
0:57
Speaker 1: month of October heading for November. Obviously, things have to
1:01
Speaker 1: pick up a little bit, uh for the show, a
1:05
Speaker 1: lot of it actually, for the Cowboys to get where
1:07
Speaker 1: they want to go on Nick Eatman, as always, we're
1:10
Speaker 1: here on the new set. It's I mean, it's not
1:13
Speaker 1: a new set, but it certainly looks a little different.
1:17
Speaker 1: You know, you guys can't even tell from the screen
1:19
Speaker 1: just how much they've done a really good job. I
1:22
Speaker 1: say they Chris Bean, it's done a really awesome job
1:26
Speaker 1: of getting this thing going here. And I'm gonna bring
1:29
Speaker 1: him in a little bit. He's he's in full fledged
1:32
Speaker 1: costume today. I didn't really you know, I never really
1:35
Speaker 1: address up for Halloween. It's not my favorite of holidays,
1:43
Speaker 1: but I understand a lot of people get into it.
1:46
Speaker 1: And if you could see this, they've really done a
1:48
Speaker 1: great job with it, and you'll see it probably in
1:50
Speaker 1: other shows. H if you watch other shows, how they
1:53
Speaker 1: had a different camera because there's stuff all over the place.
1:55
Speaker 1: So it's really good job, well done for sure. All right,
2:00
Speaker 1: two nine seven, it's the number to call. Give us,
2:05
Speaker 1: Give us a call, give us a story if you want,
2:08
Speaker 1: make it kind of brief if you can. If there's
2:10
Speaker 1: some kind of Halloween slash cowboys story that that fits,
2:14
Speaker 1: let's let's we can do that today. All right, let's
2:16
Speaker 1: go to Irene. She's first, Irene falls Church, Virginia.
2:20
Speaker 5: What's up, hey, Happy Halloween.
2:22
Speaker 6: I have no real story there. I'm gonna be prilliant
2:24
Speaker 6: connect with the seven eat degree, So bonfire, n the kids,
2:28
Speaker 6: good stuff. I'll keep your short because I rambled yesterday.
2:32
Speaker 6: I apologize anyhow. Question for after is there an update
2:37
Speaker 6: on Brandon Cooks. I don't see if he's been activated
2:40
Speaker 6: or anything, so just wondering about that. And then for
2:43
Speaker 6: the Falcons, so looking at their games, two of them
2:46
Speaker 6: have come down to less than the field goals and
2:50
Speaker 6: three of them have come down to less than a touchdown.
2:53
Speaker 6: I'm wondering if this is a sugar game. We should
2:57
Speaker 6: have the advantage on last story or judio is you know.
3:01
Speaker 5: Fight tracking or whatever.
3:02
Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah, we'll see. But their guy is really
3:07
Speaker 6: good from about he doesn't have those ball Yeah, it's
3:11
Speaker 6: been a shakey last couple of weeks. I know because
3:13
Speaker 6: on my storyliners team. But anyway with that, one of
3:18
Speaker 6: my favorite players as a kid was Christ Oil. If
3:22
Speaker 6: you have a story, I know he was a coacher
3:24
Speaker 6: while you cover the team, and then of course you know,
3:26
Speaker 6: give a story, that'd be great. Appreciate it, all right.
3:30
Speaker 1: I don't really have a Chris Bowl you know, story,
3:32
Speaker 1: because he was playing before I got here, and then
3:35
Speaker 1: like you said, he was a coach when I was here. Uh,
3:40
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen him when he was a kind
3:43
Speaker 1: of a college coach, I believe. I want to say
3:45
Speaker 1: he was at Louisiana Tech or Mississippi State or something
3:49
Speaker 1: or maybe both. And I've seen him at like the
3:51
Speaker 1: Combine or I've seen him at the Senior Bowl. Great guy, great,
3:56
Speaker 1: great guy. I just don't have a ton of story
3:59
Speaker 1: because I didn't really over him later was there and
4:00
Speaker 1: he was kicking coach for us. He you know, he's
4:03
Speaker 1: pretty low key didn't do a lot. You're right about
4:07
Speaker 1: you know, this game. The Falcons give them credit, I mean,
4:10
Speaker 1: winning these close games and it does come down to
4:13
Speaker 1: the kicker, and they have a good kicker. Like you said,
4:15
Speaker 1: he missed an extra point last week before. The most
4:17
Speaker 1: part has been pretty good for them. You asked about
4:21
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. I'm looking at the schedule here, so he
4:24
Speaker 1: went on ir uh, and he this will be his
4:27
Speaker 1: fourth game that he has missed this week. So he
4:33
Speaker 1: this is the maximum, you know, the the or the minimum.
4:36
Speaker 1: Sorry that he was gonna miss for sure? Was you know,
4:39
Speaker 1: so Pittsburgh, Detroit, San Franciscoitland. When you go on I
4:42
Speaker 1: artist games, it's not week so it's four games. This
4:46
Speaker 1: will be the fourth one for him. So he is
4:48
Speaker 1: eligible to return next week against the Eagles. Just from
4:52
Speaker 1: what I've seen out here at the practice field, I
4:56
Speaker 1: don't know if we're there yet for him. I I
5:00
Speaker 1: seen him with the rehab group. So it's possible, but
5:06
Speaker 1: he said November eighteenth seems a little bit more likely.
5:09
Speaker 1: But again I don't know this. I just know he's
5:11
Speaker 1: eligible to return the week of the Eagles game. So
5:14
Speaker 1: after this week, he he could return. You know that
5:17
Speaker 1: they could at least start his window if they if
5:20
Speaker 1: they wanted to do that. All right, let's go to
5:21
Speaker 1: Anthony and Miami. Anthony, what's up?

6:16
Speaker 1: as Barry Sweitzer is saying that Jerry Jones is smiling.
6:21
Speaker 1: But if you watch that clip, Jerry is smiling and
6:25
Speaker 1: snatching the trophy out of his hand. How that is happening.
6:29
Speaker 1: That's after super Bowl thirty. He's like, Jerry yet, and
6:34
Speaker 1: he started laughing.
6:35
Speaker 3: We did it.
6:36
Speaker 1: We did it. And Jerry's like, ha ha, give me
6:39
Speaker 1: that trophy before you're dropping.
6:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get and I think it, Oh my god, Brian, Yeah,
6:52
Speaker 3: because he's got their shot up. I know pretty much
6:56
Speaker 3: and don't get shout out, but Jeremy thinking, I appreciation
7:01
Speaker 3: that love the singing Man servery line chorus thing third Vember.
7:05
Speaker 3: But I like that all that. Let's talk about football.
7:09
Speaker 3: We got a little quiet. I'm kind of a little quiet.
7:11
Speaker 3: But last week I gave you some reasons why we
7:15
Speaker 3: would lose. I thought we would win the day BETWEENY
7:17
Speaker 3: three twenty, I said, can't let both the erected name.
7:19
Speaker 3: He kind of did, and mal hurt. That came the
7:22
Speaker 3: process with that one throw that mail see a lot
7:25
Speaker 3: of people say, you want to complete that throw. I
7:27
Speaker 3: don't know about that. I don't know about that. I
7:28
Speaker 3: think he would, but when he hit them ribs man
7:31
Speaker 3: that that had to hurt. And then I said, that
7:33
Speaker 3: person get outside of the pocket or it's just run.
7:36
Speaker 3: And you know he's gonna do it. He's gonna hit
7:38
Speaker 3: the yats at that it isn't quite doing so that
7:40
Speaker 3: la game. I got twenty six twenty Cowboys, and it's
7:43
Speaker 3: just why that I'm gonna put it out with that
7:48
Speaker 3: that go get the first down. Man, they're gonna have
7:51
Speaker 3: to hurt yourself. I don't be drinking that stuff some
7:53
Speaker 3: of the first times that easy thirty four. You don't
7:55
Speaker 3: got nobody to take it off slide and he set
7:57
Speaker 3: this up for the next four players. You know what
7:59
Speaker 3: I'm saying, stop on these that you're gonna have to
8:02
Speaker 3: throw bro sixty million. I said about wrong since they
8:06
Speaker 3: dn I said fifty five point five because pact is
8:08
Speaker 3: the only one that thirst sixty. So you fought for
8:10
Speaker 3: it that you got. You gotta be a better leader
8:13
Speaker 3: on the field. On the field, you gotta be a
8:15
Speaker 3: better leader. And you can't let Kirk cousins but he
8:19
Speaker 3: can't say he definitely can't shack the pocket because these
8:22
Speaker 3: talent was statues and I think these guys can get
8:26
Speaker 3: to him. But you can't let him extend any place.
8:30
Speaker 3: You gotta give him off the field thirty five, third
8:32
Speaker 3: and ten. Get him off the field. Don't let him
8:34
Speaker 3: extend up. Were gonna have a long day that said,
8:36
Speaker 3: man below y'all thirty five people, man love y' I'm
8:38
Speaker 3: always let's say, y'all, you'll not break points and everybody's
8:40
Speaker 3: got a little bit of the truth in them, all right.
8:42
Speaker 1: And the next we said, all right, thank you so much.
8:45
Speaker 1: Good stuff there, Anthony. Yeah, I mean, I don't think
8:49
Speaker 1: anyone's asking, you know, Dak to try to be you know,
8:53
Speaker 1: one of the you can't be Lamar Jackson, you know,
8:56
Speaker 1: the Michael Vicks or that type of player or that's
8:59
Speaker 1: that's a and where you know, even where you're having
9:02
Speaker 1: to call plays, you know, design running plays. But but
9:06
Speaker 1: when the play breaks down and it does, you know,
9:10
Speaker 1: go go get that because even if you do it
9:13
Speaker 1: once twice in the game, it should freeze the linebackers
9:17
Speaker 1: in safety. Is just enough to kind of keep them
9:20
Speaker 1: on us a little bit. So I would hope we
9:23
Speaker 1: start to see that. It has to happen. I mean,
9:25
Speaker 1: it has to happen. It has to be another element
9:27
Speaker 1: of the game to be able to do that. If
9:30
Speaker 1: they can, you know, they can get him going there.
9:33
Speaker 1: Just you mentioned Kirk Cousins. You know, he hasn't had
9:38
Speaker 1: a lot of success obviously with against the Cowboys. I
9:41
Speaker 1: think this record is two and nine. One of the
9:43
Speaker 1: wins was when he was with Minnesota and Dovin Cook
9:46
Speaker 1: had a huge game there. I mean it was just
9:49
Speaker 1: a few years back, maybe twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen maybe
9:54
Speaker 1: I think is what it was, but twenty nineteen, but
9:58
Speaker 1: he had like ninety five yards rushing in eighty yards receiving,
10:01
Speaker 1: and it was a really good game back and forth.
10:04
Speaker 1: Min sort of won that game. That hasn't had a
10:07
Speaker 1: lot of success against the Cowboys. And you know, one
10:09
Speaker 1: step that I looked up with with Cousins is that
10:13
Speaker 1: since in the last ten years, no player has fumbled
10:18
Speaker 1: more than him, and it's by far. I mean, like
10:21
Speaker 1: he's had ninety two fumbles and I think the next
10:24
Speaker 1: closest one with the seventy seven dak in that group,
10:28
Speaker 1: you know's had maybe sixty five or you know, we're
10:31
Speaker 1: not talking about lost fumbles though you couldn't drop the ball,
10:33
Speaker 1: pick it up, whatever, but I mean the ball goes
10:35
Speaker 1: out of your hands one way or another. Ninety two
10:37
Speaker 1: and he's leading the league right now. This year Kirk
10:39
Speaker 1: Cousins was six, So if they can get to him,
10:42
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the key. If you get to him,
10:45
Speaker 1: you try to get that football. Obviously, last week over
10:48
Speaker 1: showing could have done it with Party, could have changed
10:50
Speaker 1: that whole game. Party did a nice job hanging on
10:52
Speaker 1: to the ball, got a big get hung onder the ball.
10:55
Speaker 1: But that's that's one thing that you're gonna get to
10:57
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And we're seeing it before with Michael Parsons.
11:00
Speaker 1: Get into him as well. All right, Chris, we we
11:03
Speaker 1: don't have a calling right now. If not we do,
11:07
Speaker 1: we have a massachusets. All right, Rick, what's up in?
11:13
Speaker 1: Rick there? Randy in California, Randy California.
11:19
Speaker 7: Okay, I was like a little Rick, better speak good
11:21
Speaker 7: because I've been waiting.
11:23
Speaker 1: What's man?
11:24
Speaker 7: Are you all good? They take my call for it
11:26
Speaker 7: through the bead in the bids. Actually, I'm gonna tire
11:30
Speaker 7: to talk to people wanted to trade Michael Carson, but
11:32
Speaker 7: we've got to stop. I mean, the dude, the best
11:35
Speaker 7: player we has and really going to like going to
11:38
Speaker 7: the party trade for him. You're probably gonna be winning teams.
11:41
Speaker 7: So you're you're probably looking at the first round pickings
11:44
Speaker 7: for like twenty eight, twenty nine. Yeah, really an early
11:46
Speaker 7: second and the only thing right now that I can
11:48
Speaker 7: think that would actually take him in a heartbeat, will
11:51
Speaker 7: probably get the commanders so they know the next your
11:53
Speaker 7: bad mounted a tough billion cap space and end up
11:57
Speaker 7: being there with dank Wynn. So I don't looking at
12:01
Speaker 7: our tactical position. I don't want to play it like
12:02
Speaker 7: the part from twenty of the year from you know
12:05
Speaker 7: this day going forward. So I don't know I'm good
12:07
Speaker 7: off that. And if you were, if if you wasn't
12:11
Speaker 7: have like a fire tell so if you want the
12:13
Speaker 7: two people I was thinking of was Zach marrin you
12:15
Speaker 7: know they's playing very well, And then if he wasn't
12:18
Speaker 7: to heart, I would think the market force, because I
12:19
Speaker 7: don't think you're gonna.
12:20
Speaker 3: Team next year anyway.
12:21
Speaker 7: I might I go get something as long as gets
12:23
Speaker 7: it a lot because it might be something better, or
12:26
Speaker 7: goes to the thing that getting into the story for
12:28
Speaker 7: their value. Damn that uh one more teach? How many
12:33
Speaker 7: more concentative of the losses would you decide to say,
12:37
Speaker 7: you know, let's cut our losses and started playing some
12:40
Speaker 7: of your you know, a lot more back up and
12:42
Speaker 7: no longer playing right now or really a lot of
12:44
Speaker 7: your nieces jet you see where your team deck, I
12:47
Speaker 7: mean the next year and really like really do like
12:50
Speaker 7: a Makekooper on this whole roster.
12:52
Speaker 3: Uh way today take the fack the CAF. Thank you.
12:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting question. And then you saw trying
12:59
Speaker 1: to figure out like who who are we talking about exactly?
13:03
Speaker 1: Like what which players are are maybe getting you know,
13:09
Speaker 1: progress stopped. I guess, if you will, the one that
13:14
Speaker 1: pops out the most is the safety position. Uh. Donovan
13:18
Speaker 1: Wilson is there, Maley Cooker. Now, both those guys they
13:22
Speaker 1: signs it to to long term, not long term, but
13:24
Speaker 1: they signed extensions last year, uh in the year before.
13:29
Speaker 1: So those two guys. And then and so you know,
13:31
Speaker 1: you want to play Marquis Bell and play one of Thomas,
13:34
Speaker 1: that's fine, but you know they've got to kind of
13:36
Speaker 1: come up with the with the direction and what they're
13:38
Speaker 1: doing at that position. I'm trying to think of some
13:41
Speaker 1: other players that are like behind veterans that you're like,
13:45
Speaker 1: all right, let's just go in and see what they
13:48
Speaker 1: could do. I mean maybe in the offensive line, but
13:53
Speaker 1: I still think you're gonna play You're not gonna like
13:55
Speaker 1: bench Zach Martin. I don't, I don't think so, you know,
14:00
Speaker 1: and a lot of the other guys are young. I
14:01
Speaker 1: mean Tathler Smith's young. He still needs to play, and
14:03
Speaker 1: the other two rookies are there, and Terrence Steele he
14:06
Speaker 1: needs to play. I mean, so I easier said than done.
14:11
Speaker 1: I get to the point, and there might be some
14:13
Speaker 1: times for that, but I don't really know if if
14:15
Speaker 1: if you're going to see that happen a lot here,
14:17
Speaker 1: all right, and ask for trading away tanking and and Zach,
14:23
Speaker 1: I mean they both have this is the last year
14:26
Speaker 1: of their deal. I don't really see that that happening
14:30
Speaker 1: about trading for those guys again, I mean right now
14:34
Speaker 1: everything that they're still they're gonna go try to win
14:37
Speaker 1: a game and try to eat the five hundred and
14:39
Speaker 1: beat the Falcons. Then, so I don't they're not looking
14:42
Speaker 1: ahead that that far. I don't know if we should
14:43
Speaker 1: either just yet for all that stuff. All right, let's
14:46
Speaker 1: go to Rick in Massachusetts. Trick, what's up.
14:53
Speaker 3: There?
14:55
Speaker 8: Yeah? How's going fine?
15:00
Speaker 9: D Halloween?
15:00
Speaker 1: All right? Thank you?
15:03
Speaker 6: Do you know if h I say, uh, Darron Blan
15:08
Speaker 6: Taylor Carson last weekend?
15:11
Speaker 1: Uh, I think Duran Bland they're gonna give it a shot.
15:15
Speaker 1: He's gonna try to work into practice today. I think
15:18
Speaker 1: if he does not practice today, I would say, no,
15:20
Speaker 1: he doesn't, he doesn't play, So we'll see if he
15:23
Speaker 1: gets back into practice. Taylor Carson, it's kind of be
15:26
Speaker 1: a mystery with him because he's been full participant, so uh,
15:30
Speaker 1: I think he will probably play, especially now with over
15:32
Speaker 1: Warria on injured reserve. I'm gonna imagine Carson is is
15:37
Speaker 1: gonna is gonna be ready to play this game. So yeah,
15:39
Speaker 1: those two guys. The whole cornerback position has been up
15:42
Speaker 1: and down, of course, and mostly down with with the injuries,
15:46
Speaker 1: uh and trying to get you know, grabbing guys from
15:49
Speaker 1: the practice squad to start. I mean, it's not it's
15:51
Speaker 1: not ideal. It's not as ideal as you thought it
15:53
Speaker 1: would be. With Diggs coming back, Diggs and Bland paired together,
15:57
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis in the slot you know you drafted. Carson
16:01
Speaker 1: hasn't worked it out just just that way yet, so
16:06
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the Cowboys are still hoping for that.
16:08
Speaker 1: All right, Still break real quick on Cowboys startline. We'll
16:10
Speaker 1: be right back to answering more.

Speaker 1: this this stuff whatever that is all right here we go.

Speaker 1: It's going good. It's gonna be a lot nice.
18:39
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, I got little kids too, man, five and nine,
18:42
Speaker 13: So I.
18:44
Speaker 1: Pretty much what I've got right there.
18:48
Speaker 13: So besides kids. And oh, by the way, I hope
18:51
Speaker 13: Jke is doing well in football. Scopy about over.
18:53
Speaker 3: Isn't it.
18:54
Speaker 12: Hey?
18:54
Speaker 1: He got to run yesterday or monday. They gave him
18:57
Speaker 1: the ball. He ran and he got two yards out
19:01
Speaker 1: and it was fine. And you know, of course, and
19:04
Speaker 1: I and I tell that to my mom and dad,
19:06
Speaker 1: and what do they say. They're like, well, you know,
19:08
Speaker 1: Zeke's getting about two yards So I mean it's fine,
19:10
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's like, hey, you know, it's
19:13
Speaker 1: all good. It's all good. Yeah that's awesome. Yeah, yeah,
19:16
Speaker 1: that's good.
19:17
Speaker 13: It's horrible, but it's awesome.
19:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all good. What's that? Man?
19:22
Speaker 13: So listen, I hear everybody moaning and groaning.
19:25
Speaker 3: I get it.
19:26
Speaker 13: And we've got the worst run running team in the league.
19:29
Speaker 2: We got the worst run.
19:29
Speaker 13: Defense or pretty close. But you know what, I still
19:33
Speaker 13: not hope, man. I still love my Cowboys. How about
19:34
Speaker 13: them Cowboys. We're gonna get some guys back soon. I'm
19:38
Speaker 13: still gonna watch every single game. I'm gonna be pulling
19:40
Speaker 13: for us. I don't want to see no fire sales
19:42
Speaker 13: and nothing. We got good pieces in place. I just
19:45
Speaker 13: think we need a couple of changes and a couple
19:47
Speaker 13: more players and get some guys healthy.
19:50
Speaker 1: My goodness, I think that's what the Cowboys front office
19:54
Speaker 1: coaching staff. I mean, I think that's what their mindset
19:57
Speaker 1: is as well. They're not as far off is it
20:01
Speaker 1: is it looks, but you know, if they have to
20:04
Speaker 1: fix those two things. The running game and I mean,
20:08
Speaker 1: you have to be comparable, you have to be able
20:10
Speaker 1: to competitive, but you know you can't stop to run.
20:13
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be the name Baddy.
20:15
Speaker 13: And there's a caller to call a couple of days ago,
20:18
Speaker 13: I can't remember his name, but he said something to
20:20
Speaker 13: you about, uh, we need a strong offensive line a
20:23
Speaker 13: strong defensive line. I disagree with that.
20:25
Speaker 6: Man.
20:25
Speaker 13: I've seen us win super Bowls and we had the
20:27
Speaker 13: best offensive line in football and we had a good defense.
20:30
Speaker 13: That we didn't have the best defensive line. We did
20:33
Speaker 13: have Charles Taylor, not taking away aything from him, but yeah, well,
20:38
Speaker 13: I just think we need one strong one strong offensive
20:41
Speaker 13: line or one strong defensive line. Yeah, I think that's
20:44
Speaker 13: my opinion.
20:45
Speaker 8: Okay, Hey many halloweens.
20:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, you too, have thank you for the call. You know,
20:52
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I think you've got to have I've
20:55
Speaker 1: always said this. You got to be able to do
20:57
Speaker 1: something on your team that's extraordinary. I mean something, and
21:03
Speaker 1: it can't be it can't be kicking sixty yardfield goals.
21:07
Speaker 1: It can't be your kicker. It's got to be something
21:09
Speaker 1: that you do. You're a great running team, you're great
21:12
Speaker 1: at stopping the run. You could throw the ball better
21:15
Speaker 1: than anyone. No one's throwing it on you. Something that
21:19
Speaker 1: you've got to be great at and and that kind
21:22
Speaker 1: of will, you know, compliment each other. But it's got
21:26
Speaker 1: to be something there. And right now, the Cowboys really
21:28
Speaker 1: just don't have any of that. In fact, a couple
21:30
Speaker 1: of things that they're doing is one of the worst
21:33
Speaker 1: in the league. So you're not offsetting that with any
21:36
Speaker 1: with anything else. And that's kind of where they are
21:38
Speaker 1: right now. So they've got to certainly figure that part out.
21:42
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Jared and San Jose. Jared,
21:45
Speaker 1: what's up?
21:46
Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, So I apologize if this is mentioned already.
21:49
Speaker 9: So after Monday, I'd have it, listen to any podcasts,
21:53
Speaker 9: didn't even turn on my TV. You know, just a
21:56
Speaker 9: lot of frustration, but I had it. You know, after
21:59
Speaker 9: I calmed down, I started to think about it, and
22:01
Speaker 9: I realized, you know, this season was the season we're.
22:04
Speaker 8: Going to find out about the playoffs.
22:06
Speaker 9: You know, we've already seen what a great regular season
22:09
Speaker 9: looks like twelve and five three years in a row, right,
22:11
Speaker 9: and then we get there and you know, one and
22:13
Speaker 9: done or we just seem to fail. So to me,
22:18
Speaker 9: technically we still could get it, go on a late
22:22
Speaker 9: run to maybe sneak into you know, possibly the last wildcard.
22:26
Speaker 13: Spot and go on to run that way.
22:28
Speaker 9: We haven't seen it done that way. Obviously, we want
22:30
Speaker 9: to have a great regular season, but there has been
22:32
Speaker 9: teams that still go on to run.
22:34
Speaker 1: How does this one do that? Jared? What's the one
22:38
Speaker 1: or two or seven things that have to happen to
22:41
Speaker 1: get the Cowboys on this this year's run.
22:44
Speaker 8: I'm not paid to know that, but well, no, I'm.
22:48
Speaker 1: Not asking to know it. I'm just guessing, like, like,
22:51
Speaker 1: what what do you think? Because obviously if you keep
22:53
Speaker 1: doing this three and four four, I mean you're not
22:55
Speaker 1: going to make it. If eight nine you're not going
22:58
Speaker 1: to make it, So what do you think it has
23:00
Speaker 1: to happen to actually flip the switch?
23:04
Speaker 9: In my honest opinion is just me as a stand
23:06
Speaker 9: from what I see, I think it's heavily a lot
23:10
Speaker 9: on Dak and Jerry Jones. It's those two guys.
23:15
Speaker 1: How Jarry right now? Jerry right now? What can Jerry
23:19
Speaker 1: do right now in November?
23:23
Speaker 9: So see, that's a tough thing. See, I think Jerry
23:26
Speaker 9: messed up when he hired Mike Zimmer. So if we
23:28
Speaker 9: look at the defense, defense has dropped off tremendously.
23:32
Speaker 8: So that's on Jerry.
23:33
Speaker 13: Jerry made that call.
23:34
Speaker 9: You know, there are some others out there that he
23:36
Speaker 9: could have picked up, but he ultimately went with the
23:39
Speaker 9: guy that he's familiar with, you know, from years past.
23:42
Speaker 9: And I feel like Zimmer his coaching style and his
23:46
Speaker 9: scheme is just outdated. But another thing too, just going
23:51
Speaker 9: off another thing. So we still could make a run.
23:54
Speaker 9: It may not happen, But back to what you're kind
23:57
Speaker 9: of saying is maybe it doesn't happen. So here's what
23:59
Speaker 9: I'm thinking to look at this season. A lot of
24:01
Speaker 9: bad teams have been bad are now doing good. Let's
24:04
Speaker 9: say the Cowboys lose eight out of their next ten games.
24:07
Speaker 9: It'll suck for US fans if we won't like it.
24:10
Speaker 9: But if you keep getting top late twenty picks, you're
24:13
Speaker 9: not getting the great picks like these other teams are
24:15
Speaker 9: getting and then turning it around and doing good, maybe
24:20
Speaker 9: definitely needs to happen. Maybe we need we have the
24:22
Speaker 9: key players the deck.
24:24
Speaker 2: CD.
24:24
Speaker 9: We're gonna lock up Micah, paying gigs. You got those guys,
24:29
Speaker 9: and then you just need these younger guys to come
24:31
Speaker 9: in and maybe that'll turn the season around next year
24:33
Speaker 9: or a couple of years from now. So what I'm
24:36
Speaker 9: just saying is we still could go on a late run.
24:38
Speaker 2: Great as it does.
24:39
Speaker 9: If it doesn't, it might not necessarily be the worst
24:41
Speaker 9: thing ever.
24:42
Speaker 1: Okay, I got you. I mean, and there's always the
24:45
Speaker 1: silver thank you for the call. There's always silver lining
24:47
Speaker 1: to all that. You know, if you don't have a
24:48
Speaker 1: good year, you'll have a better draft pick, and you know,
24:52
Speaker 1: things like that, and then not just a better draft
24:54
Speaker 1: pick in the first round, but all the rounds and
24:55
Speaker 1: so you know, you chance to get better player. But
24:58
Speaker 1: that's not you know, not something that that I think
25:01
Speaker 1: that we should be focused on at as it stands
25:03
Speaker 1: right now, you know. And and that's the thing Mike Zimmer,
25:07
Speaker 1: you say, Mike Zimmer's defense is outdated. I mean the
25:13
Speaker 1: players are as well. I mean, like how many players
25:16
Speaker 1: are on this team that that they've picked up I
25:19
Speaker 1: mean that they're starting these guys and and that they
25:23
Speaker 1: picked up from the street. I mean that they they
25:25
Speaker 1: were they were out all of the season and now
25:29
Speaker 1: they're playing and starting. That's that's kind of where where
25:33
Speaker 1: they are with this team right now. And so I
25:36
Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinator, hottest you know, name there is.
25:42
Speaker 1: If you if you tell them, hey, we're gonna lose
25:45
Speaker 1: your four best defensive ends here, figure it out, like
25:51
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna It's probably not gonna work out.
25:54
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's just the way it is.
25:55
Speaker 1: This league isn't design for it to work out for
25:58
Speaker 1: you to just lose four of the best, two of
26:01
Speaker 1: which are Pro Bowl players from last year, and one
26:05
Speaker 1: of them is probably you know, one of the best
26:07
Speaker 1: top three or four pass rushers in the NFL. So again,
26:11
Speaker 1: it's not an excuse completely, but you know, there's there's
26:15
Speaker 1: a reason why they're struggling so bad on defense, and
26:20
Speaker 1: you know, I think that when when Zimmer signed up
26:23
Speaker 1: for it, I mean, the the personnel that he was
26:26
Speaker 1: looking at has certainly not been what it's been. So
26:29
Speaker 1: we'll see if they can get to full strength and
26:32
Speaker 1: then maybe it does look different. If it doesn't, then
26:34
Speaker 1: you know, then I think we'll have a better, you know,
26:37
Speaker 1: understanding of where this is. All right, Randy and san
26:40
Speaker 1: Antonio is next. Randy, Hey, Nick, how are you good?
26:45
Speaker 1: How's it going good?
26:47
Speaker 2: First time caller here?
26:48
Speaker 1: All right?
26:50
Speaker 2: Really wanted to give a couple of quick things that
26:53
Speaker 2: you kind of do. One is old school cowboy. I
26:57
Speaker 2: think he only really played in one game. Scott Case
27:01
Speaker 2: big hits in the Super Bowl, and then wrestler grew
27:06
Speaker 2: up in the same area you did, so watch that
27:08
Speaker 2: Dallas based wrestling one of the first times I like
27:10
Speaker 2: to heal Eric.
27:11
Speaker 1: Embrit Okay, there we go, here we go.
27:17
Speaker 2: I like that one. I really think a couple of things. One,
27:21
Speaker 2: you were talking about, what does this team need to
27:23
Speaker 2: get on a run? You got to get the Marcus
27:25
Speaker 2: Lawrence back on the field, and obviously Mike go too
27:29
Speaker 2: to get some pass rush. But I think Lawrence gets
27:32
Speaker 2: you a little bit of help with the run game,
27:36
Speaker 2: stopping the run. He's probably your best run defender on
27:38
Speaker 2: the front. And then you've got to get the second receiver.
27:43
Speaker 2: You got to get Brandon Cooks back, because I think
27:46
Speaker 2: otherwise you're going to see those deep passes to Turpin.
27:49
Speaker 2: You just don't have anybody else with the speed. And
27:52
Speaker 2: if CD is getting double teams, that's that's where we're
27:54
Speaker 2: going to be at. I would like to see some
27:59
Speaker 2: late round, maybe draft picks given up to get some
28:01
Speaker 2: people that sit Zimmer's system a little better. I know
28:05
Speaker 2: he likes bigger guys, guys that are you know, can
28:09
Speaker 2: stop that tackle a little bit. But I think Kendricks
28:13
Speaker 2: has played fairly well. So I just think getting those
28:16
Speaker 2: three guys back, those those three specifically and then the
28:19
Speaker 2: running running games, sticking with Zeke and Bowel will help.
28:25
Speaker 2: Right those are I think those are the two guys
28:27
Speaker 2: that need to be your committee.
28:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm not I'm not even sure when it
28:34
Speaker 1: comes to the running back situation. I don't know. Thanks
28:36
Speaker 1: for the call. Good to hear from you, Randy. You know,
28:40
Speaker 1: I just think that I still I still believe Rico
28:44
Speaker 1: is one of your best two, just because I think
28:47
Speaker 1: he's probably the quickest of the group there. You know,
28:52
Speaker 1: one game with with Cook. I'd like to see another
28:56
Speaker 1: one with him if possible. But uh, you know, they're
29:00
Speaker 1: they're gonna need them all. I mean, at this point,
29:02
Speaker 1: they're gonna need to order somebody else or you know,
29:05
Speaker 1: I'd love to think there's somebody on the practice squad
29:07
Speaker 1: that's younger and that maybe you could, you know, plug
29:10
Speaker 1: in here. I'm I'm not sure, but you gotta you
29:13
Speaker 1: gotta figure it out for sure, because uh uh, they're
29:15
Speaker 1: gonna need to be they have to be able to
29:18
Speaker 1: run the ball some some point to do anything they
29:21
Speaker 1: want to do in the passing game. It just you
29:24
Speaker 1: didn't have to be you know, spectacular. It's just got
29:26
Speaker 1: to be you know, average at best, and right now
29:29
Speaker 1: it's it's below average.
29:31
Speaker 3: Uh.
29:31
Speaker 1: You said, if you get those defensive guys in here,
29:34
Speaker 1: I think I think it'll look different. I think, you know,
29:36
Speaker 1: I think Zimmer has a chance to kind of show
29:38
Speaker 1: a little bit more of what his defense can do.
29:41
Speaker 1: You know, the I said this yesterday, I mean, they
29:43
Speaker 1: don't have a pass rush at all. And and and
29:47
Speaker 1: the fact that Micah Parsons is almost like double the
29:52
Speaker 1: next guy in terms of pressures on this team. I mean,
29:57
Speaker 1: I think Osa's second on the team and pressures right
29:59
Speaker 1: now with twelve and Micu's first with twenty one. And
30:03
Speaker 1: he hasn't played in four games. I mean, what does that?
30:05
Speaker 1: What does that show about A how good he is
30:09
Speaker 1: and b that no one else can can can bring
30:12
Speaker 1: that pressure. No one else has a sacks more than
30:15
Speaker 1: than tank uh and and and it's all leading to
30:18
Speaker 1: the fact that they don't have an interception since a
30:21
Speaker 1: hail Mary picked from week four. So yeah, I mean
30:27
Speaker 1: it's it's they have not replaced that. They just can't.
30:30
Speaker 1: They haven't replaced that that pass pressure. All right, let's
30:32
Speaker 1: go to Steve in New York is next?
30:35
Speaker 8: Okay, what's up Nick?
30:36
Speaker 1: Hey, Steve?
30:38
Speaker 5: Just a question in the trivia boy, I didn't Wow,
30:40
Speaker 5: that's the last interception we had? Was that at the
30:43
Speaker 5: end of the Giant game?
30:44
Speaker 3: Or Wow?
30:46
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's pretty bad for sure.
30:48
Speaker 5: My question is, you know, I think that the offensive
30:52
Speaker 5: line is the reason why we are struggling this year,
30:55
Speaker 5: and not just running the ball. I think it has
30:57
Speaker 5: it affects everything. Yeah, but you know, if I told you,
31:01
Speaker 5: you know, you're starting two rookies. You have a guy
31:04
Speaker 5: in Martin who's you know, he's at the end, and
31:07
Speaker 5: Steel has not played well. You know, I'll probably get
31:11
Speaker 5: rid of this. That's what I'm gonna ask you your
31:13
Speaker 5: opinion with three and four. Now, if we signed the
31:17
Speaker 5: guy in Baltimore now and I was you know, I
31:20
Speaker 5: was part of that you know bunch that wanted him.
31:23
Speaker 9: Yeah, how much of a difference do you think that
31:25
Speaker 9: would make?
31:26
Speaker 3: Right now?
31:27
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's what Jerry said a couple of days
31:30
Speaker 1: ago or week or so ago about he's not having
31:32
Speaker 1: the same success here. And I thought it was interesting
31:36
Speaker 1: that he said that. I think it was a polite
31:39
Speaker 1: way of saying our offensive line couldn't couldn't block exactly.
31:43
Speaker 1: And you know he I agree. I agree that it's
31:48
Speaker 1: not it wouldn't be the same, but it would be better.
31:53
Speaker 1: You know, he's a better running back. It's not. You
31:55
Speaker 1: can't just play any running back in there. I mean,
31:58
Speaker 1: he would be better. But I do understand that. I
32:01
Speaker 1: understand the premise they would have been, you know, it
32:04
Speaker 1: would have been a different set up here, because I
32:07
Speaker 1: don't they're not they're not opening holes.
32:09
Speaker 9: For for me.
32:10
Speaker 5: I mean, it's this, there's nothing. I mean, I've almost
32:12
Speaker 5: watched in fifty years, I've almost been watching this team
32:15
Speaker 5: and I can't remember maybe eighty nine, but that was
32:18
Speaker 5: that year was a disaster anyway, but where they have
32:22
Speaker 5: just been unable to run. I mean, this is like
32:25
Speaker 5: historically bad. Hopefully somehow they could they could, you know,
32:30
Speaker 5: turn it, turn it around a little bit.
32:32
Speaker 1: But you know, this is is total, it really is.
32:35
Speaker 9: It's trivia.
32:37
Speaker 12: One of my favorites.
32:37
Speaker 5: I know, Halloween Game nineteen ninety three, Emmett in the Rain.
32:42
Speaker 5: I know that's a classic with in Philly. You remember
32:46
Speaker 5: the game obviously, right, Yeah, Philly's only touchdown that day
32:52
Speaker 5: was scored by a former cowboy who wasn't.
32:58
Speaker 12: Well, okay, well I got to give you a wait,
33:00
Speaker 12: it was.
33:02
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't Herschel, was it?
33:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course was. I think you shut me up
33:07
Speaker 5: like that, like you.
33:08
Speaker 1: Don't know no, I honestly, like my first thought was
33:13
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Smith, because I think was it you that
33:15
Speaker 1: sent me one on? Jimmy Smith? Yeah, and so, and
33:19
Speaker 1: I know he got drafted in ninety two. Then I
33:21
Speaker 1: think he went to the Eagles for a little bit
33:23
Speaker 1: or something. And so that was my first thought. And
33:26
Speaker 1: then because Herschel, I after Herschel left, like it's Vikings,
33:31
Speaker 1: it's Giants, it's Eagles. I don't know who he's with,
33:35
Speaker 1: you know, until he came back to the Cowboys. Well,
33:38
Speaker 1: I honestly don't remember. I do not remember that part
33:42
Speaker 1: of that game. I remember it being on Halloween in
33:45
Speaker 1: the rain, and Emmett went for two thirty seven and
33:48
Speaker 1: got that last touchdown. I remember Troy was, I mean,
33:50
Speaker 1: everybody was bad, couldn't throw the ball. But I do
33:53
Speaker 1: not remember anything about Herschel being on that team. I
33:56
Speaker 1: know it was there in ninety two. I didn't know
33:58
Speaker 1: about ninety three.
33:59
Speaker 9: So all right, right, yes, thanks buds, I guess paper right.

37:14
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so on that.
37:16
Speaker 1: We'll see. All right, let's go to our line again.
37:19
Speaker 1: Aaron in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
37:22

37:24
Speaker 1: What's up?

37:31
Speaker 8: been a big fan of of all of it for
37:34
Speaker 8: a very very long time. But special day in our house,
37:37
Speaker 8: my wife's birthday. So Halloween's kind of a big deal
37:39
Speaker 8: in our play. So what's in what's in Fort Wayne?
37:44
Speaker 1: What's in Fort Wayne?
37:45
Speaker 3: Is that?
37:45
Speaker 1: Is there a college there?
37:47
Speaker 3: Wow?
37:48
Speaker 10: Yeah?
37:48
Speaker 8: We have to doue Fort Wayne? Okay, yeah, but we
37:51
Speaker 8: we we are. We are kind of a minor league
37:53
Speaker 8: championship town. Our Fort Wayne Comics hockey team they've won
37:56
Speaker 8: a gazillion titles. Our our minor league baseball team, four wing,
38:00
Speaker 8: ten caps. How many multiple titles.
38:03
Speaker 1: They are in those those minor league hockey games?
38:07
Speaker 8: What's that?
38:07
Speaker 1: How many fights are in those minor league hockey games?
38:10
Speaker 8: Well, some games, some games you can have a bunch
38:13
Speaker 8: in some games, you know what, not a lot. But uh,
38:16
Speaker 8: what's funny is my youngest daughter she loves hockey more
38:19
Speaker 8: than football. We had one glorious season when she was
38:21
Speaker 8: a little girl. Uh, she wore my jerseys and stuff
38:24
Speaker 8: back when Romondez were playing. We'd go to the local
38:26
Speaker 8: sports bar.
38:27
Speaker 3: In the fan of the room.
38:28
Speaker 8: There is a pretty good size contingent of cowboys fans here,
38:31
Speaker 8: so uh uh. But but yeah, she's turned into big
38:33
Speaker 8: hockey fans and she loves the fights.
38:36
Speaker 9: Nice all right, Yeah, Hey, don't have.
38:40
Speaker 8: A whole lot. Just just wanted to say a couple
38:42
Speaker 8: of things. Man, Uh, you know what the team is,
38:44
Speaker 8: what it is. I've I've been fortunate enough, I'm old enough.
38:47
Speaker 8: I got to see you know, Stallback and those guys
38:50
Speaker 8: back in the seventies, everything in the nineties and everything
38:53
Speaker 8: in between. But uh, we just kind of got to
38:55
Speaker 8: ride the ride. Man, you know, not get too worked
38:57
Speaker 8: up over it. You know, I think I think the
39:01
Speaker 8: one thing I thought about all year, and you kind
39:03
Speaker 8: of look back to the last three or four years,
39:05
Speaker 8: I really kind of got a wonder. I think maybe
39:06
Speaker 8: they need to just reassess how they run the offseason
39:09
Speaker 8: and training camp and not playing these guys during the
39:11
Speaker 8: preseason games, because there is a pattern there if you
39:14
Speaker 8: look at it, how slow we kind of start these seasons.
39:17
Speaker 8: And I know there's that risk reward thing, but just
39:20
Speaker 8: kind of looking at it that and kind of feeling
39:22
Speaker 8: like there's a little there's a little history there how
39:25
Speaker 8: we play in that second and third week, you know,
39:27
Speaker 8: even the years that the last couple of years where
39:29
Speaker 8: we've gone twelve and five.
39:30
Speaker 3: But it is what it is, you know.
39:32
Speaker 8: I just wanted to get in and say, hey, thanks
39:35
Speaker 8: for taking my calling. Happy Halloween, everybody.
39:37
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it, Thank you for the call, Aaron,
39:42
Speaker 1: first time caller. I'm gonna I'm doing a little research
39:46
Speaker 1: as you as you say here, all right, Well, and
39:51
Speaker 1: what were they this year? They were one in three,
39:54
Speaker 1: two and two. How did we start here in the
39:56
Speaker 1: first four games was two and two? So you know,
40:01
Speaker 1: I don't know if there is a history though about
40:04
Speaker 1: about the slow starts. You know, the last thing you
40:09
Speaker 1: would ever want to do is have an injury in
40:11
Speaker 1: preseason and for a guy you know, and it ends
40:14
Speaker 1: your season there, So there's the risk reward is very,
40:18
Speaker 1: very challenging. It's just so it's too much to me
40:22
Speaker 1: to try to risk playing someone just for you know,
40:26
Speaker 1: just to try to get them in the groove or whatever.
40:29
Speaker 1: I'm looking back, and twenty twenty was such a crazy season,
40:35
Speaker 1: so if you want to throw that out, you can.
40:37
Speaker 1: They were one in three in McCarthy's first year there
40:40
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. But if you if you take
40:42
Speaker 1: the next four years here when it was a little
40:45
Speaker 1: bit of normalcy, the Cowboys were three and one, three
40:48
Speaker 1: and one, three and one, and now two and two
40:50
Speaker 1: this year in the month of September, the first month
40:54
Speaker 1: of the season, So I don't know if I would
40:56
Speaker 1: call that a slow start at all. So I think
40:59
Speaker 1: judging on that, I'm not changing what they do in
41:03
Speaker 1: the preseason. I'm not I'm not doing that. I've seen
41:08
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott be out since halfway through the twenty twenty season,
41:13
Speaker 1: come back, not not take a snap in the preseason
41:17
Speaker 1: and then play in Tampa Bay and throw for four
41:19
Speaker 1: hundred something yards and had him you know, went toe
41:22
Speaker 1: to toe with Tom Brady, had a chance to win
41:24
Speaker 1: and lost in the final seconds. So and then they
41:27
Speaker 1: went five five you know, wins in a row after that.
41:30
Speaker 1: So that's my take on that there's different things to change.
41:36
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying don't change anything in the offseason.
41:38
Speaker 1: There's some different things to change. I don't know if
41:40
Speaker 1: that's one of them, but you know, they're this this
41:43
Speaker 1: does need to be a look in the mirror type
41:47
Speaker 1: season and off season maybe next year of some some
41:49
Speaker 1: things and of what's working, what's not working. That's I know,
41:54
Speaker 1: it's a big criticism that the fans have had it
41:56
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys that they keep doing it the same way,
41:59
Speaker 1: keep building it this way, and not trying different things.
42:02
Speaker 1: And so you know, I would be I would be
42:06
Speaker 1: open to to some changes. Some of them will be small,
42:09
Speaker 1: you know, minor tweaks. Some of them could be big
42:11
Speaker 1: philosophical changes. I don't know if preseason is one of them.
42:15
Speaker 1: That's where we disagree, but but I think that there's there,
42:20
Speaker 1: There could be definitely something there, all right, let's go
42:21
Speaker 1: to Gavin, Oklahoma City. Gavini, what do you dressing up
42:27
Speaker 1: for Halloween?
42:30
Speaker 12: I don't need to celebrate Halloween, man.
42:34
Speaker 1: I don't know why I figured that, and I haven't
42:37
Speaker 1: asked anyone else that question, but I figured, you know,
42:40
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't get the sense there
42:43
Speaker 1: that you're going to be.
42:44
Speaker 8: Scream just not festive.
42:46
Speaker 12: Actually, like all the holidays, are you candy?
42:50
Speaker 1: Are you gonna at least pass out candy?
42:53
Speaker 12: Almost seem like a bad person, But.
42:55
Speaker 1: Are you a turn the lights off guy? Like turn
42:57
Speaker 1: the lights off and the TV act like we're not home.
43:01
Speaker 12: I totally am that's unfortunately.
43:04
Speaker 1: Sorry. I may or may have done that once before,
43:08
Speaker 1: but now now with kids, I mean, when we got
43:10
Speaker 1: the lights on everything, you know that's good. You know, Yeah,
43:13
Speaker 1: we leave, we leave for trigger treating, and it's like here,
43:18
Speaker 1: here you go, kids, take one. You know, you come
43:20
Speaker 1: back and it's all gone, you know, not for.
43:22
Speaker 12: This turn, this show to take any sort of dark
43:25
Speaker 12: turn or anything. But I feel like it's kind of
43:26
Speaker 12: a dangerous holiday. I'm not sure how I feel about
43:31
Speaker 12: a bunch of kids walking all over the nation. I
43:33
Speaker 12: don't know, I get bad vibes on Halloween.
43:35
Speaker 3: It's just me.
43:36
Speaker 1: That's all right, all right? Well, how about this season?
43:38
Speaker 1: You got es for this?
43:40
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, I don't know about that one. My question
43:44
Speaker 12: for you today was, and I don't think you're gonna
43:46
Speaker 12: feel good about this idea or question, but I feel
43:50
Speaker 12: like maybe the Cowboys are at the point of the
43:52
Speaker 12: season where the run game just might just not get going. Obviously,
43:59
Speaker 12: I feel like a big reason why we haven't been
44:02
Speaker 12: able to start quarters fast is because when we come
44:04
Speaker 12: out with opening scripts, we stick to running the ball
44:07
Speaker 12: and it just isn't working. I did see some good
44:09
Speaker 12: carries from Zigdo in that San Francisco game that, uh,
44:14
Speaker 12: that encouraged me a little bit, but I don't know
44:16
Speaker 12: I was. My idea for the Cowboys to maybe get
44:19
Speaker 12: on track and opening quarters is to maybe throw the
44:23
Speaker 12: ball to set up the run. I know that kind
44:25
Speaker 12: of sounds weird, but I think you know where I'm
44:27
Speaker 12: kind of going here. If you can throw the ball
44:30
Speaker 12: on first downs and get a considerable amount of yards,
44:35
Speaker 12: a short carry doesn't sound so bad then, because then
44:37
Speaker 12: you can move the chains and keep going. But that's
44:41
Speaker 12: my question for you today. And thanks, Thanks Nick.
44:45
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, Gavin, and that'll be our
44:48
Speaker 1: I'm forty sure that'll be our last caller of the day. Yeah,
44:52
Speaker 1: I feel like they've tried everything. And I know it's
44:58
Speaker 1: been seven games, but I feel like we've seen past, past, past, run.
45:03
Speaker 1: We've seen run, run, pass or back and forth back.
45:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I have to go back and do a
45:09
Speaker 1: deeper dive, but but I feel like they have tried that,
45:14
Speaker 1: throwing it setting up the run. But ultimately, even if
45:20
Speaker 1: you run have some success when you get into that
45:23
Speaker 1: twenty yard line or so, and even even on the
45:27
Speaker 1: other side of the fifty, I mean, one bad run
45:31
Speaker 1: or no gain or loss of one changes everything. And
45:36
Speaker 1: I talked to Jake ferguson yesterday. I asked him the question,
45:40
Speaker 1: you know, you guys, you guys haven't started the season
45:43
Speaker 1: with a touchdown. You haven't you know, gotten that first drive.
45:46
Speaker 1: And all week of practice, we're ready, We're ready, here's
45:49
Speaker 1: the game plan. Boom, we go in there, and it
45:51
Speaker 1: hasn't worked. And every player that I've asked, including him yesterday,
45:55
Speaker 1: has said, we we just keep shooting ourselves in the foot.
45:59
Speaker 1: You know, it's a penalty here, it's a negative play here,
46:02
Speaker 1: and it just hasn't been consistent. And yeah, those penalties,
46:05
Speaker 1: I mean, first in fifteen for a team that doesn't
46:07
Speaker 1: run is huge, especially for a team that doesn't have
46:10
Speaker 1: you know, screens and things like that. It feels like
46:13
Speaker 1: other teams when the Cowboys haven't put back to second
46:16
Speaker 1: and twenty, it just is it me or does it
46:19
Speaker 1: seem like every single time they'll get ten to eleven
46:23
Speaker 1: yards over the middle, and now when you think you've
46:25
Speaker 1: got them pinned back, I mean, it's still third and long,
46:28
Speaker 1: but it's a lot more manageable now. I feel like
46:31
Speaker 1: teams do that better than the Cowboys. As far as
46:34
Speaker 1: just you know, those short chunk plays to kind of
46:38
Speaker 1: get back when you're already behind the chains, that's something
46:42
Speaker 1: that I think the Cowboys could definitely do better. But
46:45
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully you don't want to be behind the chains.
46:47
Speaker 1: You want to keep you know, playing downhill football, and
46:50
Speaker 1: they just haven't done it. So I feel like they've
46:53
Speaker 1: tried different things. They try to get cute, they try
46:56
Speaker 1: reverses and things like that. You know, they've put seed
46:59
Speaker 1: in there to run the ball, so they don't you know,
47:02
Speaker 1: don't fault them for trying things, but Ultimately, it hasn't
47:06
Speaker 1: worked yet. We'll see if it does. This this Sunday
47:10
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. We have another show between now and then
47:13
Speaker 1: we'll be back tomorrow to talk more about it and
47:16
Speaker 1: get some predictions and all that kind of good stuff.
47:18
Speaker 1: So all right, so for Chris Beam and this beautiful
47:21
Speaker 1: Halloween set was really really good stuff today. Everybody be
47:26
Speaker 1: safe tonight on Halloween. Have a great night. We'll see
47:29
Speaker 1: you tomorrow on Cowboys Storyline. See you.
