  Speaker 3: I said on this show before, I play that immaculate
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: grid on Pro Football Reference. It's addicting. I played baseball
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and basketball, but football as i'm better at.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Can't do the hockey.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Sorry, but but yeah, I got people tweeting at Meg,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: what was your score yesterday? You know, because it was
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Cowboys it was like Cowboys and and and Bills. You
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: know what name of a player and you know that
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: that played for both teams.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: So I went with Jim Jeff Cod on that one.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: It's all it's just fun game though if you haven't
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: tried it on, it's called immaculate grid. It's what pro
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: football reference these is really fun, kind of goes down
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: memory lane a little bit. So all right, that's what
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: we're gonna do today. We're going to talk about whatever
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you want to talk about. If we talk about the Jets,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: talk about the Giants, still want to go there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Usually we've turned the page by then. But if you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: want to talk about.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: That game, that's fine with me. All right, let's go
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: to the callers. Let's go right to it here in
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Kansas City, Brian and Kansas City Brian, what's up?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, Good morning, Mick, Good morning, Hey, I got I
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: got an old timer for you and a question. All right,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So my question is, you know, so we haven't seen
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of AS fans, especially people that don't live
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: in the Dallas Fort Worth area. We haven't seen a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: lot of Jalen Tolbert. So you know, we saw Brandon
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Cooks popped up on the injury report and maybe just
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: tell us a little bit. Is he an outside guy? Only?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Can he go in the slot? You know? Can he
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: play you know all the positions? You know, what's your view?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Haven't seen him close up and all those practices and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: all that stuff.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yep, Tolbert, I think is a he's an inside outside guy.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: He can do a little bit of everything. That that's
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: what That's what kind of intrigued them about him because
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: when he was at South Alabama, he was a player
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: that you know, he was the best receiver on the field.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Hope he didn't lose the caller because he had a
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: he had a former player.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: You want to know. I'm still here there, Okay.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But but why don't you do that?
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Why don't you tell me tell me your guy, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I'll finish it off about Tolbert so we can clear
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the lines here.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. Hey, So, my I was watching the nineteen
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: seventy two his Cowboys team, and I saw Rayfield right
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: jogging up to the line. I was so happy that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: he got into the Hall of Fame in O six
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and so said to see, we lost him last year.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But anyway, that was my old timer, and I'm going
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to hang up and listen to the rest of your answer. Brother.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Awesome Rayfield, right, what a good one. Going back to Tolbert,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Jalen Tolbert, I think what the Cowboys really loved about
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: him at South Alabama was that, you know, he was
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the best player on the field, uh and certainly on offense,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: and so they had to line him up all different
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: places to create some mismatches and and and you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: it was a real problem for teams. So that that's
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: what he got so many catches, so he understood how
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to do that. And I think that kind of hurt
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: him last year though, because he was playing so many
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: different positions that when he got hurt in the off season,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: it slowed him down. It slowed him down for a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: lot of spots. It's easy to just say learn this here,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: learn the X, or learn the Z or whatever, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: he was trying to learn all of them because he can.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: He has that capability. And this year I think so
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: much better for him. So if he has to play more,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I think that there's there's no doubt he would be fine.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: There a drop off, of course from from Cooks. If
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: you know, if his knee he show up on the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: knee injury report with a knee injury, but it would
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: be a drop off for sure. But I still think
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: they have confidence and Tolbert, I think more importantly, he's
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: got more confidence in himself. Rayfield, Right, I just remember
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: doing an interview with him one time before he made
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: it to the Hall of Fame, and he just had
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: this quote, I'll never forget. He goes all these yards,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: all these catches, all these touchdowns, and did no one block?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You know, he's talking about no one in the Hall
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: of Fame for the Cowboys. I mean, we got all
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: these guys to do anything, but but nobody blocked. And
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: he was like, you know, just basically touting himself to
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: well is he not in the Hall of Fame? And
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: they corrected that problem for sure. So he was the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: original big cat.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I always thought Leon Lett was the big cat, but
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: now he was the original big cat.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, go back to the phone. I think it was
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I lost it, but I think was Nick in Austin?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Is that what I saw?
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: For back again, what's up?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Not much?
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: I would times do better this time, That's all right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I remember I remember the first call. Sure it was great.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: No, I was nervous because it's my first time calling him.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: But ye say, I always watched your you know, your
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: show you're on before the break, and the thing that
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I liked about you is that you you seem to
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: always have the fans perspective. That's what I really enjoyed
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: about you. So I want to say that real quick.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Number one, I wanted to say, there's a lot of
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: people having concern about, you know, the jets the tips
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: of line, which I do understand, but I believe that
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: the Giants were quit me if I'm wrong pretty much,
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: just this doubt.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: It's not close to it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: And with our offense, get the ball out as fast
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: as we are. I think the gates a lot of that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: You're right, You're right about that, and that's what that's
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: why Brandon Cooks his injury is so important because he's
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the guy that you're going to try to get the
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: ball out quickly. But yeah, you're right about that. The
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: defense is pretty stout right there in the middle, so
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you want to get.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It out quick.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: And then another one real quick is on on the
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: other side of the ball. On defense. I believe that
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: as long as we can stop their run, you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: if you do good against the run, they're pretty much done.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah for the most part. Now, because you know, Zach
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Wilson just hasn't been proven to be a good.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Pucket, you know.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Now you do need to watch out for him
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: as far as in scrambling because from what I've heard
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: and from college and whatnot, and he does have some wheels,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: he has some legs.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you have to be careful of that.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I think this is very similar to the Daniel Jones
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: type of thing. I think, you know, Jones was a
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: guy that you have to kind of be careful for.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: But if you keep him in the pocket, I think
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you're probably gonna be in better shape.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: And then one last thing real quick if I can,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: is that they were talking about how, you know, people
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: were going to be coming back from you know, injury,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: and that they were gonna set ship people, uh, for example,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Deuce Bond, which I like, so I think it'd be great,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: but I would much and they were talking about sitting
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: him versus sitting Turpin. I would much rather shick Deuce
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: right now because obviously Terpin has the experience and you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: they're so similar, and since the defense, especially if they're
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: hitting him out for some of the defense such as
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: you know, Donovan Wilkins. It's just we need to we
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: need to have, you know, continue to build on our
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: on our strength so.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Much.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: All right, Nick, have a good one, good day, Thanks
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: for the call.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I think what Turpin Andduce have in common is that
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: they're both not going to get a lot of re
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: bounds like that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: That's what they have in common. And like in the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: pickup game, that they're not tall. That's really it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Though.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: They are not the same type of player, not the
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: same type of body. And you know, they can both
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: make plays. But I think Turpin, you're not sitting turpind
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: T terpns a Pro Bowl, All Pro return specialist. He's
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: somebody that has team's respects and that's a huge deal.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: When you're standing back at midfield, when they're pinned back
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: and they want to punt it, you want to just
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: punt it deep. You want to try to angle it
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: and get away from him. Sometimes when you do you
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: have that's when you get a shank punt, like he
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: had some bad punts because him just standing there. So
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I think that that he is valuable in that way,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and he's showing some value on offense too. It may
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: be Deuce that's inactive this week, just to try to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: get some of these guys back. I think they'd be
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: fine if that game was closer. I don't think Duce
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: plays at all the other night. So as it stands
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: right now, they're probably trying to find some touches for him,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: and I don't know if that's if that's going to happen.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: And don't forget, and I did forget. Actually, I just
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: want to remind you guys. Ronald Jones is coming back
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: from from suspension next week. We'll see what happens with that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe he's on the roster, maybe he's not. But but yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: he is coming back from suspension next week. All right,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Scott in southern California is on the line. Scott, what's up.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Hey, Nick? How you doing?
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Love the new show? That's great. Appreciate st I want
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: to use your eyes eyeballs a little bit here if
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: I could. Uh, yeah, I know it's hard to compare players,
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: but this these two players went up against the same guy,
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: DeMarcus Ware when Tyron was young, and uh, you know, Micah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: now that Tyrant's a little bit age, how did those
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: two players compare, and I got a throwback name for you.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: I'd like to see one of his tight ends turned
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: into his j Novichek and I'll listen to you off
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: the air.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, man, all right, appreciate that Dware versus
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. Man, I'm Micah Parsons. I'll just say it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Michael Parsons is a better player in his first two
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: years than d Ware was, and I think that they're
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: both gonna be wearing gold here, you know, in however
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: many years. I mean, Mike, I think is he's destined
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: for that. I don't want to get too far ahead
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: of myself, but that's that's where he is, and he
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: he is better. I mean they started, they didn't compare
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: him to Dwear. I mean when he when he first started,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: what last year or two years ago, I mean, he
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: was getting compared to Lawrence Taylor. That's who his comparison was,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and so or Derek Thomas. So I with all due
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: respect to DeMarcus Ware, who is in the Hall of
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Fame and he's the all time leading, you know, and
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: for the Cowboys in sacks, but I think that Mike
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: is trending higher than him right now. And I think
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: in the middle of a game, I think he he
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: has that knack of making that really really big play.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: That only knock on DeMarcus was that sometimes the sacks
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: were considered hollow, not always to close out the game.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: He did have some New Orleans he closed out the
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: game that was on believable, but I think for the
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: most part, and that was kind of a product of
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: the teams he was on too. He wasn't on the
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: best teams either. He had some great teams he was on,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: but not not all the way. Again, this is no
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: shadeed to Marcus Ware at all. I just if you're
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: going to compare, I think Micah Parsons is trending higher
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: than him right now. J Novichik, great tight end, great
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: fit for that offense with with Troy and Uh and
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: what they were doing there in the in the nineties.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: A perfect compliment player UH to him, and you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: one of those sneaky good blockers. You know, you just
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: knew how to kind of get in the way. But
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I mean it was more of a pass catcher, but
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: he could mix it up and get in there. It's
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: about all I could say about him, all right. Travis
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: in San Antonio is the next callar Travis, what's up?
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Come back from What's how's it going?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: What's up? All right?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Excided? Okay, I was gonna say I didn't make sure
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: that nothing bad happened. You seem kind of down.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: No, No, I'm good.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: I just say I had a couple of things going
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: into this week, and I think from what I've heard
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: from broad Us and everybody ever saying that Michael Carter
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: was the Nico o'cornell for the Jets, and he's kind
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: of just a guy. So I'm curious and I'm kind
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: of expecting maybe to see a lot of CD in
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: the slot this week, even more so than maybe even
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: last week, just because you want have lost and you
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: have DJ read outside and they stay on their sides.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: I think it's interesting.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: He doesn't travel, so you can kind of keep if
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: you want to keep CD away from whom you can.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: But I think they want to exploit that that slot
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: matchup with him, and then I think I want to
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: see what you think about this. But I know everyone's
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: been talking about the offense, and you can't discount the weather,
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: and there were some drops and you know that, do
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: you look completely on point?
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: No?
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: But I think this week, if you're going to see
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: more things that are going to help them out short
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: passing game. I think he's gonna make some good throw
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: He made some good throws in that game. They were
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: just dropped. But I'm not too worried about the passing
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: game from that perspective. I think we're going to see
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: an uptick in that. And I really like the fact
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: that they actually started using Mike MacArthur's are using some rubs,
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: so thick routes the things we've been talking about for
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: years where we're just like, why don't we why don't
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: we do this in the rules? Why don't we take
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: advantage of this because everybody else is doing it?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: The CD forty nine yard catch, I mean that was
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: like a double pick. I mean I was like, thank you, thank.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: You, that that's what you need.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, quarterback friend like that. You don't have to have,
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: you know, all day artist throws. Yeah, make it easy
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: for him.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, awesome. Thanks for the thanks for the call, Travis.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: You know, I'll say this, we two can be it
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: could be hard to analyze because I mean we one.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I mean you should still just have one sample size,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I mean doesn't matter what they've done in the preseason.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: It's really just one game. So the fact that Sauce
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Gardner typically doesn't travel doesn't mean that he won't. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: don't know anything there. I barely you know, trying to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: figure out this team much less than anyone else. But
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I'll say this, I wouldn't just throw it out the
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: window that he doesn't ever do it. You know, his
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: career is not that long. And if Brandon Cooks doesn't play,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and I don't know if he will or not, I
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: know he just missed practice, has play with a knee injury.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: But even if he's limited like that changes their their
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: team a little bit. So they they might have to say, look,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: well he's got a guard CD and and we'll see,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: you know, if they throw him all around the place.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: So I just because they have it doesn't mean that
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: they won't. Sometimes you're always trying new wrinkles, new new things,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: and it would it just doesn't make sense to me
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: if you've got corners like you said, that are just
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the guys that that are over there guarding him, and
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: he's over here guarding Michael Gallup and covering Michael Gallup,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and then they're getting killed over here. That doesn't make sense.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that. You know, if if I'm if
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I have one of the best corners in the league,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: he's gonna have to go against one of the best
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: receivers in the league, especially if I'm getting beat for it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: So but you know what, We'll see how it goes.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Let's go with another phone call, Dave in for worth.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: David and for work.
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: How are you doing today?
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Great sir? Great sir.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I got two questions.
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: They're kind of like not necessarily challenging identity or opinion
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: that you've given in the past, but more so, do
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: I kind of clear up like I guess the opinions
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: that you do hold. So, like one of them is
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: kind of regarding some injuries that we've been facing this week.
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: Like you know, obviously there's Donovan Wilson and Tyro Simias
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: who you know may be able to go this week,
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: may not be able to go this week, and I
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: know that it's very very important they start off too.
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: And oh because that one in one is way different.
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: You know, come the in dar, come playoff time and stuff.
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: But do you consider, like if they're not one hundred
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: percent go just maybe just sitting them.
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: You know, this isn't a divisional game, this isn't.
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: A conference game, and we have bigger, brighter things to
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: do in the future. Or do you say we really
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: need a ride high and get all of our guys
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: back to get into this two and oh, because that's
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: way different than one and one. The second question I
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: have it if it's okay. The second question that I
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: have is with Aaron Rodgers being out, there's been a
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: lot of talk, you know, among the communities and stuff about, man,
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: we really wanted to play the best of the best,
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: we wanted to knock off the team, YadA yah, and
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: that that argument has brought up a lot in the
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: playoffs as well in recent years. And I kind of
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: hold the stance of I just want to see a
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: championship game. I just want to see a super Bowl.
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: I don't care how I get there. But some people
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: are like, no, I want to take down the best
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: of the best. Knowing that you also want to see
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: a championship game. I just kind of want to know
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: what your stance was, if you'd rather go there and
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: knock out all the Juggernauts, or you'd got to just
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: get there because we haven't been there.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Well, hold on, let me ask you this. You get
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: answer your own question. Go back last year. Go back
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: last year. You knocked off Tom Brady, you finally did it,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: and then they lost the next week. If Tom Brady
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: for some reason did not play in that game and
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: you and you found a way to win, what would
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: you rather take? Would you rather have taken them beating
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: some backup? I don't even know who their backup was.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: You beat the backup Chris Sims. Who knows who the
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: backup in Tampa?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: But I don't even know.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, you beat their back up and
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: then you go and you win in San Francisco? Would
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: you take that? Or did you take what happened last year?
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Me?
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: Personally, Nick, one hundred times out of one hundred, I'm
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: hoping that their water Boys plays quarterback because they ran
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: out people. I just want to get. But I'm thirty.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: I'm thirty two years old. So the last time they
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: had that much success, I was like, I don't even
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: know how five or something like that. I mean, so
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: I've been I've been dying for it, man, So it
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: doesn't matter who it is.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm here you am, all right. I appreciate the call, David.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just I just think, like, like nobody
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: after the San Francisco game, I don't think any fan
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: was like, God, well, at least we beat Brady last week.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think that happens because when you beat Brady
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: and you beat the Bucks and you get to the
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: divisional round, you're thinking big at this point, like this
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: is the year. So you don't just go back and go, well,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: you know, hey, but we did beat Tom Brady. No,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: so so no one cares if you play Aaron Rodgers
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: or you don't, you know. I mean, that's just that's
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: just the way it goes. I mean, there will be
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: no asterisk about anything. I know the Lions fans were
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: really mad at Mike Turrico who said that about the
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: about asterisk for beating the Chiefs the other night. You don't,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with that. There's no asterisks when it
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: comes to that. There's no asterisks and home run records
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: either or anything like that. All right, as far as
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the injuries sit or not, you that's not my call.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: The calls from the Cowboys, they're not going to throw
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: guys out there that aren't ready to play now, and
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the most important thing is getting them healthy, getting them
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: ready for the long haul. Some injuries are different, but
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: based off of can you heard it worse? Is just
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: are you risking things? And but for the most part,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: they are going to be healthy. I mean one hundred percent.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Playoffs might be a little different story, but that will
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: still come down to the player. And it also will
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: come down to is this smart for them to go ahead?
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: And are they putting them at risk?
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And they will not do that? All right, Tom in
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the Bronx, Tom, what's up up?
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Hey? Nick? How you doing great?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Great? Thanks? Tom?
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Can you just spend a minute just talking about coach
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy, about your opinion on him and also specifically
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: about the coaching staff that he built with the Cowboys.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I'll hang up and all this.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I think Mike McCarthy is just a cool dude, seriously,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I mean like it. Sometimes what you see is, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: he's old school, he's buttoned up at times, he doesn't
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: going to give you a lot of things. I mean
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: he's he's paranoid, like all coaches are. They don't they
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: think you're giving out too much, and sometimes you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: they they're probably right, you know, in some cases, I
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: think if you're just sitting down having a beer with him,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: he'd be pretty cool. He's a pretty cool guy. Actually,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: not me by myself, but some other media guys got
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: to do that. And you know, some of the things
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: that you know he says, and just the way he
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: kind of goes about things. I mean, and he said
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: this on the air too. But I remember the first
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: time we met him when he was the coach. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: just remember him going, all right, guys, like, sure he
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: caught it. Yeah, yeah, Dez caught it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you this.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: We had Aaron Rodgers for four minutes. I mean, it
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter if he caught it or not. We're gonna
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: go win the game. And I'm sitting here going, yeah,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: probably so. And and that's why I've never really been
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: that like hell been on Dez caught it and all that,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: he definitely caught it, but I've always thought, well, they
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: did have Aaron Rodgers and there was about four minutes
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: to go, and he probably needed a field goal to
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: either win or tie that game.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: So uh.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: But but the staff that he's built, I mean, he
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: he surrounded himself with with some coaches that he first
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: got here. He surrounded himself with a lot of coaches
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: that had been head coaches, I think at five at
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: one point, but some veteran guys and you know, and
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: not afraid to make changes too when they had to,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: and they had to, you know, they had defensive coordinator
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: definitely needed to change. So they got, you know, rid
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: of that and and put him, you know, Dan Quinn.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: And so he's he surrounded himself with with with coaches
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: and guys that he's familiar with. But all coaches do that,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: whether it be guys he's coached with or guys he
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: coached them, like Al Harris. So you know, I think
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: he's built a really good staff and they built some
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: continuity there and this year that they've had some changes,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: of course on the offensive side of the ball. But
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: but I think for the most part, you know, he's
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: he's done a really good job. And you know, the
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: best thing he can do is get himself prepared, get
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: the team prepared to play, and he's certainly done a
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: good job of that. All Right, we're going to take
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: actually I got two calls on the lines. A little
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: we'll take a call Curtis in Oklahoma.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Curtis, what's up.
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: Hey, I just want to say thanks for letting us
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: call into your show.
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: I appreciate it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Curtis.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: This is this is why we do it. So you
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: guys can call in and tell me what you're thinking.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I'll try to give my thoughts, but I want to
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: hear from you guys.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: So what you got.
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: I just got a few things all run through real quick.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Tray Von Diggs.
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: His playmaking with the hard hits and the force fumbles,
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: I mean, wow, just a great way to take his
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: game to the next level. He's already a dynamic playmaker,
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: and adding that I think has just been like something
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: I really seen and was appreciating. The next thing I
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: want to talk about is like when we were paying
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: high profile players and like DeMarcus Ware left to get
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: a Super Bowl ring, I think that's kind of pivoted
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: a little bit, and we have guys like Hooker Gilmore,
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: these bets that want to come here to try to
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: win Super Bowl.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Is great.
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: To couple that with the way that we handle the draft,
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: and I just think that's awesome for team building. And
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: then the last thing I want to talk about is.
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: I hear a lot from Cowboy fans. Oh, it always
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: it only matters what we do in the postseason. I
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: think over the last years, and you look back at
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: some of the years that we had to run, I
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: think there was things in the regular season that we
• 22:38
  Speaker 11: could have done to separate ourselves. Last year, I think
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: to Green Bay and Jacksonville, with how hot the Eagles were,
• 22:44
  Speaker 11: those were definitely missed opportunities. This year, two games against
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: Philly in a regular season game against San Francisco, I
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: think are huge opportunities to maybe we don't even see
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: them in the postseason, you know, to hand them a
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: loss or two. And last year, while we had a
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: great team, we would have been on the road all
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: the way through the postseason if I remember that correctly.
• 23:06
  Speaker 11: And this year, if you can get a bye in
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: that first round and have home build advantage, I just
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: think that's something you can do in the regular season
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: that kind of is against that narrative of oh well,
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: it only matters what we do in the postseason. Right,
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: Thanks for taking my call. I'll hang up and let you,
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: you know, comment to that.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you got it?
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you're you're you're right. I mean, that's
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: it does matter. I mean, the regular season certainly matters.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: There.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: You want to get in the you know, get in
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: the tournament and get in there and and make you
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: know that that's the most important thing. But you're right,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: these games matter, you know, seventeen games. I mean that
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: that's that's it's a long season, but it's not a
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: lot when you when you think about how each game
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: does matter and how it can affect things down the road,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: especially when you look at division, NFC tiebreakers things of that,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: you know category. So I do think that it's important. Uh,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: regular season games have always important to me. So that's
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: why I don't you know, I said it yesterday. Man,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: if you enjoy the ride, enjoy it because because it's
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: not just it's not just fun to be here, but
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: it matters to like these things, these things matter quickly.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I'll touch on some of it. I mean the Trayvon Diggs, Yeah,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: the I mean, he made a huge play. His physicality
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: is showing and you know, just if he can be
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: and you know, if he could be a cornerback that
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: can play like that, it could be a complete corner
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: with the ball skills that he has. I mean, there's
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: no doubt, you know, and they got him locked up
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: for five years now or so five more years. I
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: mean he he has a chance to be one of
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: the best, uh you know, in the league and and
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: and one of the best that cow Weiyes have had
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: in a long long time. All right, let's go back
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: to al In Merkele, Texas. We've had him the other day.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Al Merkele, Texas, what's up?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on? I got to represent for the Badgers,
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: you know, go from Stanford representing for the Bulldogs. So
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I got to keep it up for the Badgers.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: I got two things.
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: There for a while we were really lucky. We had
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: terrible play angel, some of Hail Mary and just stuff
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: that you know, we were there were legends made from
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys and then there for a while they were
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: were a snake with And the reason I say that
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: is because you know, Jimmy Johnson leaves, uh, but a
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: few months later, correct me if I'm wrong, but dolphinster
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: coordinator goes to the Redskins. If Jimmy would have left
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: a little earlier, we could have had our offensive coordinator
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: stay with us and maybe win won two or more championships.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: And then the other one was when for Sales left. Uh,
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Peyton had already left a few mont Rogers in the Orleans.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: We could have Peyton coaching Tony Romos.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's true. I didn't think of it, like
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess that one makes a little bit
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: more sense. I mean, I don't think anybody looks at
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: what Nord Turner did with Washington and was like, man
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: could have had him. I understand that his talent was
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: definitely different with the Cowboys in Washington. I think he's
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: been a he was a good coach, you know, a
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: good coach at certain places. He's been in a lot
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: of places.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: But you're right. I mean, that's just kind of the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: way the timing kind of kind of works out like that.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: One more thing, one more memory.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Do you remember when Troy Aikman out threw Dion Sanders and.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: In the Super Bowl?
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, I think it was a Super Bowl. He uh
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: three step drop, but he overthrew Dion and he came
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: back to the sidelines. It was on a video it
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: said I can't believe out through Yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, thanks for the call. My memory is
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: different than yours a little bit on that. You might
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: be right, but what I remember, and I think what
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: you're referring to that was actually against the Falcons and
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: his first game, his first game with the Cowboys was
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: against the Falcons at the Georgia Dome and he threw
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: a deep deep ball and Dion would dove to like
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: the one yard line and missed it. I mean threw
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: as far as he could throw it and it was
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: like across the field and Dion do just missed. It
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: would have been a great highlight in the Super Bowl
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: that year. He did not outthrow Diana a d ball.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Deal was kind of waiting for it a little bit.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: It's like a fifty yard pass over the middle, grape
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: catch and that kind of set up the first touchdown
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: of the game.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: That's my memory.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: If you if you overthrew Dian in the Super Bowl,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I apologize, but I think what you're talking about with
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: the NFL films caught him on the sideline going. I
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: didn't think I could outload Dan. I think it was
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: against the Falcons there. But you know, I'm trying to
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: work on I'm not trying to correct people.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I just my years.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I'm a little finicky when it comes to years and
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: all that of stuff. But you're I mean, we're talking
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: about thirty something years ago obviously. Well, no, I'm sorry,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: twenty eight years ago. We all know how many years ago.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: It was from nineteen ninety five. Everyone talks about that,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: twenty eight years ago. All right, Michael in Germany? Wow,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: what's up man?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: How are you? And what time is it over there?
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: It's just about five thirty.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Five thirty okay in the evening? Okay, all right, I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: got you. All right.
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: So I got two quick stories for you, and the
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: second one is gonna dig way back. I'm gonna test
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: your memory and then tie that into a question. So
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: the first story is I grew up. This is an
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: old timer story. I grew up in Abilene, Texas. And
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: that was back in would have been about seventy eight
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: weaver take seventy eight seventy nine, And that was when
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: they would come around. The players would come around playing
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: basketball all around, right, And they came in to Abilene
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: one year and played and after the game was over,
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: Mom and Dad, my sister and I went down on
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: the court and I wanted to get Tony Hill's autographs
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: because I love Tony Hill. And so we walked by
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: and y'all, I'm also wanted to see whoever else is
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: there and walk over and he's sitting there by himself. Okay,
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: And so I walk up and ask for his autograph.
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: He's like, yeah, sure, So he signs thank you. We
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: go to walk away. All of a sudden, you hear
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: it's like the mean Joe greenad. All of a sudden
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: he goes, hey kid, I turn around. He goes, you
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: want your picture made? Like, yes, please? So that picture
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: is still in the family, you know family wall who
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: had a camera? I mean, what was like my parents?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I mean where we have Yeah, yeah, just.
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: A just a good old role film camera and get it,
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: you know, developed take it to the store.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah right right, okay, okay, yeah.
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: So there's there's my there's my old timer Tony Hills,
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: my guy back then. But now here we go. We're
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: going to go back another about five six seven years
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: to October eighth, nineteen seventy three. Monday night football when
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: I was born, Dallas was playing, you know.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: In seventy three. Yeah, we like October eighth, seventy three. Yeah, No,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't I don't know that. When I'm
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Washington yes.
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: Yes, And I was born in Fairfax County Hospital right
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: outside of Washington, d C. Okay, so I always look
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: forward to the uh to the Dallas Washington game. And
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: my question for you is, is there a game on
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: the calendar every year or like every four years, three
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: or four years, every when there's some team that you say, ah,
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: we're finally playing them again. I really want to see
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: this matchup.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the call.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it, Michael, and love the support that you
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: have there because it's a commitment obviously when you're dealing
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: with uh, you know, time zones and things like that,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: games are played at different times and so uh we
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: learned that when we went over to London.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Just how how you know those are.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: The dedicated fans for sure, because it's so hard to
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: get the news and and and to to get to
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: watch the games and to stay current and all that stuff.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: So I appreciate that, uh more than you know. It's
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: hard to say, oh, I want to see them or
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: want to face them, you know, not not really. I'm sorry,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I don't have a better answer for you. Uh. You know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: I the matchups like that, you know, I don't get
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: too worked up about the schedule in April because of
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: what happened right now, you think, oh, you're gonna get
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgerson week two, and you don't. And so also,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: oh the Bills and and the Dolphins, and you know
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: late in the year, what if it's not what if
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: it's not a big game, what if it doesn't matter?
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: You know, you just never know.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: And so I don't really get too worked up about
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: certain places. And you know, and and you know there's
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: some AFC teams, you know, places we don't go to
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: for every eight years, you know, like you know, I
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: enjoy going to Pittsburgh. I like that, but usually don't
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: enjoy the outcome. But the last time I think we
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: were there was at sixteen. I mean, that was one
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: of the best games I can remember. So you know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: when you go to place like that and you get
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: a win, you know, that's fun just because of from
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: a historical standpoint. But Denver is another place which I
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: don't know if the Cowboys ever won in Denver, you
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: know that that I've I've seen in the regular.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Season, so probably missing one. They made of one.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: But for the most part, no, not really. So all right,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: let's go to the phone line. We got Chase in
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Northwest Arkansas. Chase, I got a question for you.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, next, is Rocket playing? That is a good question.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like probably not.
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: Coach Coach Pittman is probably probably fifty to fifty. I
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: would guess I actually helped scort the away team. I'm
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: a police officer, right, I helped to sport the away
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: team to the games.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so you got yeah.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: But my question is about he's at Northwest Arkansas. Wh's
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: right over by where the Arkansas Razorbacks play have a
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: game against BYU. Rocket Sanders is their star running back,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: and I think he's actually been ruled out for that game.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: So good luck, good luck turning, you know, getting BYU
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: to the stadium late or whatever you're going to do there, Chase,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: What do you got?
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: So one thing I just want to bring up cool memory.
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: You're the history guy, a player that I actually went
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: to offense defense football camp in two thousand and three
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: at University of Texas at Dallas, and we had a
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: few Dallas Cowboys come visit while we were at that camp,
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: and one of them was James Waylan and he came
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: with Ross Tucker and they gave us a cool, just
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: cool pep talk. Being a young kid twelve years old
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: at the time and getting that pep talk from real
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: life NFL players. Now, other people showed up, like Anthony
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: dor sat Tony Dorset Son and I think, what what
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: do he danced on Keith Davis High.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll never forget James Whalen was the most humble
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: guy and for I mean a player that not a
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: lot of people will ever know was on the team.
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: He was the guy that once I got home, I
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: got on mat and I made sure I made him
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: all ninety nine. She was my star tight end on real.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Quick, real quick question for you? What number was James Whalen?
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Oh shoot, I'm sorry, it's a trick question because he
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: wore five. He wore five numbers. He was like eighty one,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: eighty two, eighty three, forty five, and maybe like eighty.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Five, and he wore whatever.
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: I remember he was eighty one whenever I was at
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: the camp. Yeah, that's because that's what he signed my
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: football as eighty one, and the Ross Tucker I believe
• 34:09
  Speaker 10: signed sixty six.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: So but anyways, it was just a cool memory. I
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: remember you talking about James Whitalen in the past and
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: how humble of a guy he was. He truly was,
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: and he was just it was a really awesome experience
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: as a twelve year old kid to watch him and
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: listen to him. But what I want to talk about
• 34:27
  Speaker 10: on this current roster is everybody being difficult with Dak
• 34:33
  Speaker 10: after a game. Anybody that's ever played football knows that,
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: especially when you're handling the football any kind of moisture,
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: let alone a downpour like they were dealing with. I
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: think that it's it's quick to say he had an
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: off game or Dak looked like he was rusted. All
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: this kind of stuff. Hell man, anytime you're going to
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: play in that kind of weather, the kind of ball
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: that he played, especially with the complimentary defense, I think
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: it was just I think we'll see what kind of
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: player Dak Prescott's going to be whenever he's playing at
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: at and T Stadium this Sunday, and that we're going
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: to see a leader of men that we've always seen
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: in Dak Prescott. But we'll also see more of what
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: we heard from Mike McCarthy himself.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: The weather.
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: The weather definitely changed their playbook, so getting to see
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: I mean but we still got to see, I mean,
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: down near the goal line that play where it was
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: a designed Dak run to the left. I mean, I'm
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: excited to see those kind of things where Dak is
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: it's just designed and the fact that he was getting
• 35:35
  Speaker 10: the ball out in two point three seconds is just
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: is just going to help him. And I'm excited to
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: see what they do this weekend. Even I'm not throw
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: any shade against this Jets defense. I think they're phenomenal
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: what they're able to do to bail Zach Wilson out
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: of the game the other night against the Bills. But
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: I think I don't even think this game is close.
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: I think I think two score, if not three score
• 36:02
  Speaker 10: ball game by the end of the night.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Go Cowboys, and all.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Right, thank you. Thanks. Chase, the police officer named Chase
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: like it. Well, not always. It's really not a good
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: good thing.
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Chris, being a producer, says he want to Chase, can
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: you do a favorite If you pull someone over and
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: they're not going too fast, maybe you let them go
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: and say, hey, make sure and check out Cowboys storyline
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: on Dallas Cowboys dot com. If you can do that,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: then everybody, everybody wins as long as they're not going
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: too fast. Yeah, yes, a lot of good stuff there.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: James Whyalan like is one of my all time favorite
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: players that's ever played. I consider him. I don't have
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys I would say like that was
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: my friend. James Waylan is a friend of mine. I
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: still talk to him a lot. He's doing great living
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: in Fort Worth and he's doing he's doing awesome. And
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, he's he's one of my favorite favorite guys
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: that's ever played for the Cowboy tells a lot of
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: good stories and and yeah, like you said, really really
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: good dude that that does. I didn't know that story,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: but that doesn't surprise me at all about him going
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: and giving some good advice and just being real because
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: he's that's the thing.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: He's just a cool dude.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: And uh so he was, you know, in a great
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: college player like most of these guys, but he was
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: a great college player. I think Kentucky actually put him
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: in their Hall of Fame not too long ago because
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: he was an unbelievable tied end and really a tough
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: mismatch there. And that's that's what he was in college,
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I think. I mean, it's what he was in the
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: NFL too. I think injuries kind of hurt him a
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: There.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: We pretty much out of time here and that that
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: was it for the calls because we got to go
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: a little bit earlier than normal today because we have
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy's press conference coming up here live. It should
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: should be at ten forty five. A lot of good
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: stuff though from you guys today, a lot of great
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: great start.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: We got ten calls.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Will take that all day long, especially on a little
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: bit of a of a shorter show. Going back to
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: that last caller that he was talking about Dak playing
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: well and and I think I think the consensus is this,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: people want to want just want to nitpick a little
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: bit and go, oh, this new offense, and they didn't
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: see what they wanted to see. The game got out
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: of hand. It was it was not going to be
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: conducive of Dak putting up a lot of stats. But
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: the stat that he didn't put up is the one
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: you should worry, you should be excited about. I mean,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: there was no interceptions, no turnovers, and it was in
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: a you know, it's a spot where you're going to
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: turn the ball over a little bit. It's hard to
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: kind of keep your hands on the football, and I
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: thought he did that. They all did a good job
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: of that. Pollard did have the fumble that they recovered,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys recovered, But for the most part, I mean,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I thought they did a great job there. Dak did
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do in a game like that.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Drove the offense, They scored, They took care of the football,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: they took care of the lead, and they made sure
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: that they did their part while the defense and special
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: teams will certainly do in theirs. All right, So this
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: was this will be our show for today. We'll come
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: back tomorrow same time, ten o'clock, probably go just a
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: little bit longer. Want to get all your calls, get
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: all your opinions, and all your thoughts about Cowboys and
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Jets for Chris Bamm, Nick Eatman. We'll see you tomorrow
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: on Cowboys storyline.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
