- 0:13Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:16Speaker 3: This He's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:35Speaker 4: What's up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm your host, Nick Eatman,
- 0:40Speaker 4: and let's talk a little Cowboys and Panthers. Big win
- 0:43Speaker 4: for the Cowboys on Sunday. They defeat Carolina thirty to fourteen.
- 0:50Speaker 4: The underdog Cowboys, if you will, went into Carolina and
- 0:55Speaker 4: won that game. Everybody's having some fun with that. I
- 0:58Speaker 4: wrote my cap I'm on that Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
- 1:01Speaker 4: That was certainly not a situation where one team was
- 1:06Speaker 4: the favorite and the underdog. It doesn't mean anything about
- 1:10Speaker 4: who's the better football team and who's got the most talent.
- 1:12Speaker 4: Cowboys obviously showed that, went out there, took care of business.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Had a little bit of a hiccup there right before
- 1:19Speaker 4: the halftime where it look like this this might be
- 1:22Speaker 4: a game now. They opened the door and let Carolina
- 1:24Speaker 4: go in, and then they slammed the door in the
- 1:27Speaker 4: third quarter. Something we have not said all year long.
- 1:30Speaker 4: Slamming the door in the third quarter. No, No, that
- 1:33Speaker 4: hasn't been a thing. Cow first play of the third quarter.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Ohso Diggi Zoo comes in and smashes Bryce Young forces
- 1:41Speaker 4: of bumble. The Cowboys get it. Then they score just
- 1:44Speaker 4: like that. They're up seventeen to seven. Get another stop,
- 1:47Speaker 4: get the ball score again. And really, you know, did
- 1:52Speaker 4: what they're supposed to do to a team like that,
- 1:54Speaker 4: in a quarterback like that. And Bryce Young, who's to
- 1:57Speaker 4: me just not it's not very good. I mean, his
- 2:01Speaker 4: first pick over allay his heisman, but I just it's
- 2:04Speaker 4: still the second second season. Now, I just don't think
- 2:07Speaker 4: he is going to be the answer there. You know,
- 2:11Speaker 4: he's he's got a long ways to go. And when
- 2:13Speaker 4: he didn't break that arm tackle by Jordan Lewis for
- 2:15Speaker 4: the sack, that's all I need to know about how
- 2:18Speaker 4: how strong he is, how big he is and all that.
- 2:21Speaker 4: But I thought the Cowboys harassed him all game long,
- 2:23Speaker 4: and just a lot of different people making plays. It
- 2:26Speaker 4: was really a good one to see. Good win for
- 2:29Speaker 4: the Cowboys then they needed it. Uh six and eight
- 2:32Speaker 4: on the season, hanging on by the slimmest of margins
- 2:38Speaker 4: in the playoff picture. Uh they they probably will get
- 2:43Speaker 4: eliminated next or this upcoming weekend, just because somebody in
- 2:48Speaker 4: front of them is gonna win that they need so
- 2:50Speaker 4: much help just to get in now. If they would
- 2:52Speaker 4: have beaten Cincinnati last week, that would have been interesting,
- 2:55Speaker 4: but obviously didn't happen. All right, Eight A A eight
- 2:57Speaker 4: five five to two ninety seven is the number to Let's
- 3:00Speaker 4: go to our phone line here and Bob in Rio
- 3:03Speaker 4: Grand Valley. Bob, what's up Bil morning?
- 3:06Speaker 5: How you doing good?
- 3:08Speaker 4: How are you doing all right?
- 3:10Speaker 5: Nick? Has been a while since I talked to you.
- 3:13Speaker 5: I have, like a lot of the fan base that
- 3:17Speaker 5: I'm disappointed the way the season's gone, but it's we
- 3:22Speaker 5: can write this season off due to injuries. It's definitely
- 3:26Speaker 5: not the coaching staff or the job that they've done.
- 3:28Speaker 5: I don't think that there's a coach or two coaches
- 3:32Speaker 5: in the NFL that could do a better job of
- 3:35Speaker 5: what they've had to work with than Mike and zim
- 3:40Speaker 5: At And I just want to go on the record
- 3:41Speaker 5: is saying that I was very proud of the way
- 3:44Speaker 5: the Cowboys played the Sunday. I was very proud of
- 3:48Speaker 5: the way they played the Sunday before that, And I'm
- 3:53Speaker 5: looking forward to the rest of the season and the
- 3:56Speaker 5: off season, and I hope beyond hope that Jerry Jones
- 4:01Speaker 5: has got enough sense to retain the two coaches that
- 4:04Speaker 5: he's got, because he's got two great ones.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Thank you all right, thanks Bob, uh putting some support
- 4:10Speaker 4: out there for Mike McCarthy, Mike Zimmer.
- 4:13Speaker 6: Uh.
- 4:13Speaker 4: They you know, they have played. They have played better.
- 4:17Speaker 4: There's there's no doubt about it. They've been a lot
- 4:19Speaker 4: more prepared too in these games, is at least what
- 4:22Speaker 4: it looks like, prepared to go out and succeed early
- 4:25Speaker 4: on in the game. If that's all on the coaches,
- 4:29Speaker 4: you know a lot of it is because it's they
- 4:32Speaker 4: They control how you prepare all week long, that they
- 4:35Speaker 4: control how you practice, that they control the meetings, uh,
- 4:39Speaker 4: and in everything so and obviously the play calls. So
- 4:44Speaker 4: it has looked better, it's been better. And you know
- 4:50Speaker 4: it's just it's gonna be it's gonna be up to
- 4:53Speaker 4: Jerry to decide does he want to make make a
- 4:56Speaker 4: change here. And you know, when when you look at
- 5:00Speaker 4: at at the injuries, they there's there's so many of them.
- 5:05Speaker 4: There's so many of them. And when you think about
- 5:08Speaker 4: the what we've seen on the on the team this year,
- 5:11Speaker 4: and and just coming coming back from last year and
- 5:14Speaker 4: all the success that they had and all the star
- 5:18Speaker 4: power on this team, and just to think how much
- 5:21Speaker 4: of it has been utilized because of you know, injury.
- 5:25Speaker 4: It's it's a good it's a good reason that that
- 5:29Speaker 4: they they haven't had the same kind of success. But
- 5:32Speaker 4: I think, like to your point, Viob, I think Mike
- 5:34Speaker 4: uh McCarthy has done a really nice job of of
- 5:38Speaker 4: of least keeping this thing together here. And it's I mean,
- 5:41Speaker 4: it's the wheel's been wobbling from since New Orleans came
- 5:45Speaker 4: to town, honestly in week two, and Mike Zimmer's done
- 5:48Speaker 4: a nice job as well keeping it keeping it going.
- 5:51Speaker 4: But you know, it looks better when you got your
- 5:54Speaker 4: stars out there, when Micah Parsons is out there, it
- 5:56Speaker 4: looks better. And it certainly has looked better for this team.
- 6:01Speaker 4: All right, uh eight A A eight five five two
- 6:04Speaker 4: two nine seven is the number to call them. Phone
- 6:06Speaker 4: lines are hoping as we speak right here. Let's let's
- 6:11Speaker 4: talk a little bit more about the game here, the
- 6:13Speaker 4: Cowboys and the Panthers. You know, one of the one
- 6:17Speaker 4: of the things that that was that was interesting to
- 6:20Speaker 4: me was just how you know, they they fed the
- 6:23Speaker 4: ball to CD Lamb early in the game. One drive
- 6:26Speaker 4: in particular, they they got the ball and and you know,
- 6:30Speaker 4: on third down it was it was Cooper rush to CD.
- 6:34Speaker 4: Did it three times in one one drive, one possession,
- 6:37Speaker 4: it was a twenty yard or on third and long.
- 6:40Speaker 4: It was just a screen pass. Really to me, this
- 6:42Speaker 4: kind of looked like they were setting up to get
- 6:44Speaker 4: some yards and try to punt. But CD made some plays,
- 6:47Speaker 4: got a first down, then another twenty I think a
- 6:50Speaker 4: twenty eight yarder on third and long, and then on
- 6:52Speaker 4: third down down in the red zone he finds him
- 6:55Speaker 4: again for a touchdown. I thought that was you know,
- 6:58Speaker 4: if if you're going to target one play, target CD,
- 7:02Speaker 4: you know, go target him, go go after him. And
- 7:04Speaker 4: he certainly did and and and you know, ceed had
- 7:08Speaker 4: had a great game. Went over one thousand yards on
- 7:10Speaker 4: that drive, I believe, and for the fourth straight year,
- 7:14Speaker 4: only Michael Irvan and Ceedee Lamb have had four straight
- 7:17Speaker 4: one thousand yard seasons h for the Cowboys. So really
- 7:22Speaker 4: really an impressive drive there. And then you know, when
- 7:26Speaker 4: you get into Rico Daddle, I'm sure we'll talk about
- 7:28Speaker 4: him a little bit more as well, but that's kind
- 7:29Speaker 4: of how you want to to do any game when
- 7:31Speaker 4: you think about it, you want to You want to
- 7:33Speaker 4: go to your receivers, go to your star players, get
- 7:36Speaker 4: them going, get a lead defense, teed and teeing off,
- 7:41Speaker 4: getting sacks, and then run the ball and run the ball,
- 7:44Speaker 4: and run the ball and run it out. Cowboys ran
- 7:46Speaker 4: for two hundred and eleven yards in the game, obviously
- 7:48Speaker 4: a season high. One forty nine for Dawdle, but thirty
- 7:51Speaker 4: for Zeke, twenty seven for Turpin, who we saw that
- 7:55Speaker 4: little wrinkle with him out there, just as a straight tailback.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Nothing fancy about that. Just hand the all off like
- 8:00Speaker 4: you would any other back. He's averaging thirteen point five
- 8:03Speaker 4: yards of carry. To watch out and maybe maybe that win.
- 8:06Speaker 4: Might need to see more of that, all right? Chuck
- 8:08Speaker 4: D's in Bridge City, Texas. What's up man?
- 8:13Speaker 6: Hey? Nick? It's been a while.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Yeah, how are you doing?
- 8:16Speaker 5: Good?
- 8:16Speaker 6: Good?
- 8:18Speaker 7: Tr tried a few times of costs.
- 8:19Speaker 8: Been busy, but hey, that's good. I mean too busy.
- 8:22Speaker 4: I don't think it's busy today. I don't know what
- 8:25Speaker 4: I got. Let's go first. It rained the first time
- 8:28Speaker 4: I got on. I don't even know what to say.
- 8:29Speaker 8: I'll surprised it, I know, but.
- 8:31Speaker 4: I know maybe maybe shopping.
- 8:35Speaker 8: Yeah, I was just.
- 8:35Speaker 9: Gonna say that there's a couple of players that I've
- 8:38Speaker 9: been getting better.
- 8:40Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is.
- 8:41Speaker 8: What you want to see.
- 8:42Speaker 10: But I like that schememakers coming around.
- 8:45Speaker 11: Yeah, and uh and and Leo foul.
- 8:49Speaker 6: He's made a few players.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, he's done nice job.
- 8:54Speaker 9: Injuries, you know, they suck, but prime example, these guys
- 8:58Speaker 9: have stepped up.
- 8:59Speaker 11: And uh, I like it.
- 9:01Speaker 9: It's a future, something to look forward to.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, well, it certainly has has been a
- 9:08Speaker 4: good good you know, next man up philosophy has always
- 9:12Speaker 4: been the case here. But you know, it's been nice
- 9:14Speaker 4: when they've done it. And and there's been a lot
- 9:16Speaker 4: of guys that have had the opportunity to do the
- 9:18Speaker 4: next man up because there's been so many injuries.
- 9:23Speaker 11: Sair uh and uh.
- 9:25Speaker 8: I like seeing Rico.
- 9:26Speaker 9: He's running hard and hopefully we'll keep him for a
- 9:28Speaker 9: couple more years.
- 9:29Speaker 8: And draft another back. I'd like to have two good bets.
- 9:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's a he would be a good
- 9:35Speaker 4: compliment back to anyone. I mean, maybe he is the starter,
- 9:38Speaker 4: and but you need everybody needs another back here and
- 9:41Speaker 4: and we see it. I mean, you know, everyone wonders
- 9:44Speaker 4: why is he goes in the game, but you know,
- 9:46Speaker 4: you you need a backup, and he's especially the way
- 9:49Speaker 4: he's running, like you said, the way he's running hard.
- 9:51Speaker 4: And when you're run in like that and you run
- 9:53Speaker 4: into the ball a lot and you're running hard, you
- 9:55Speaker 4: don't need a break. So that's that's kind of what
- 9:59Speaker 4: they'll need to do for sure. So all right, all right,
- 10:04Speaker 4: thank you.
- 10:04Speaker 8: Talk about stuff everybody else to talking about.
- 10:06Speaker 4: But thank you, all right, appreciate it, Thanks for the call.
- 10:09Speaker 4: Good hearing from you again. You know, I thought I
- 10:15Speaker 4: was hoping Rico would get one more yard to get
- 10:17Speaker 4: to that one fifty mark. Not a lot of not
- 10:20Speaker 4: a lot of backs have done that. You know, when
- 10:21Speaker 4: you think about Zeke's career high, he's had like five
- 10:24Speaker 4: in that one fifty range and it's done it. And
- 10:30Speaker 4: DeMarco Murray obviously has has done I think he's got
- 10:33Speaker 4: the record for most rushing yards. Troy Hambrick might have
- 10:37Speaker 4: done in Dorsets obviously got gotten up there, but just
- 10:40Speaker 4: not not a ton acts like there's not a media
- 10:43Speaker 4: guy in front of me. I can kind of figure
- 10:45Speaker 4: that out. But uh, anyways, it was. It was an
- 10:49Speaker 4: impressive you know run for him, U impressive game for him.
- 10:53Speaker 4: And so uh, you know, I'm looking at the Cowboys
- 10:56Speaker 4: big days rushing right here. You know, Murray he's got
- 11:00Speaker 4: the record at two fifty three, Emmett two thirty seven
- 11:04Speaker 4: door set and then Julius Jones had two of them
- 11:08Speaker 4: there in the one ninety range, Hambrick with one eighty nine,
- 11:12Speaker 4: one eighty nine for Troy Hambrick. Wow. But then as
- 11:16Speaker 4: far as you know, one fifty go, it's it's a
- 11:18Speaker 4: lot of it's a lot of Zeke, a lot of
- 11:20Speaker 4: Emmitt Smith, DeMarco, Murray, herschel Walker and did it once.
- 11:26Speaker 4: It's too bad though, too bad we didn't get Rico
- 11:28Speaker 4: up in that in that range as well. All right,
- 11:31Speaker 4: let's go to Brian in Lakeland, Florida.
- 11:36Speaker 9: Nick, how's it going man? Happy holiday season to you, sir.
- 11:40Speaker 4: You too good to hear from you.
- 11:43Speaker 6: And it's been a while.
- 11:44Speaker 8: I haven't called to see off season.
- 11:45Speaker 9: Usually I'm sitting at my desk or you know, catching
- 11:48Speaker 9: up on the way home from work. But turned thirty
- 11:51Speaker 9: nine to day and.
- 11:51Speaker 5: So I took the day off.
- 11:53Speaker 4: Now happy birthday.
- 11:56Speaker 9: Story line, Hey, thank you I appreciate it's more than
- 11:58Speaker 9: to get away on the birthday.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Chris, that's where something you're not first time caller, but
- 12:02Speaker 4: I mean you got something you do. Here we go, Yeah,
- 12:05Speaker 4: here we go.
- 12:06Speaker 9: It might be my fourth or fifth time, but that no.
- 12:09Speaker 9: I mean, just like I said, I wanted to call
- 12:11Speaker 9: kind of give my anopsis on the season. You know
- 12:15Speaker 9: what's kind of nice, like i'd seeing the team win yesterday.
- 12:18Speaker 9: I'm one of those fans like kind of like Travis
- 12:20Speaker 9: and I'm on the storyline spaces too, you know, like
- 12:22Speaker 9: that everything called. But uh, you know, rooting for the
- 12:25Speaker 9: best pick. However, while rooting for the best pick, it
- 12:28Speaker 9: is nice to see a game like that. It's nice
- 12:29Speaker 9: to see Marie make a big play, both Jalen score
- 12:32Speaker 9: a touchdown. You know, it's nice to see Rico go
- 12:35Speaker 9: off for basically one fifty. That's a lot of fun.
- 12:37Speaker 9: You know, like we're not, like contrary to believe, we're
- 12:40Speaker 9: not sitting back like misers over here going like, oh
- 12:43Speaker 9: now you want to score a touchdown. It's fun for
- 12:45Speaker 9: us anyway, even though we're rooting for a good pick. Yeah,
- 12:48Speaker 9: but I did want to touch on something that Irene
- 12:50Speaker 9: said the other day.
- 12:51Speaker 8: I think she was.
- 12:52Speaker 9: Talking about a tumbler that she had or something, and
- 12:55Speaker 9: a Panthers fan was giving her mess and you know,
- 12:57Speaker 9: like other than rooting for the team, and that's one
- 12:59Speaker 9: of my favorite things about being a Cowboys fan. It's
- 13:02Speaker 9: one of my favorite things that just meet new people,
- 13:04Speaker 9: talking to people whatever, and then you know, get into football.
- 13:07Speaker 8: Who's your team?
- 13:08Speaker 9: And as soon as they answered ask that, I know
- 13:10Speaker 9: my answer and I know it's coming. I know it's coming,
- 13:13Speaker 9: and it's just fun for me.
- 13:15Speaker 8: I'm a Cowboys fan.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, deal with it and yeah.
- 13:19Speaker 9: Yep, Like I just started the new job here in
- 13:21Speaker 9: Florida last year and you know, talking to the guys
- 13:23Speaker 9: here and meet my buddies and everything, we start talking
- 13:25Speaker 9: fancy football. Hey a Cowboys fan. Seriously, the Cowboys really.
- 13:30Speaker 6: And I love it.
- 13:31Speaker 9: I love to hate. Bring it, I don't care. I'm
- 13:33Speaker 9: die hard. Let's go.
- 13:34Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, And you have to you
- 13:37Speaker 4: kind of have to have that mentality, there's no doubt
- 13:39Speaker 4: about it. And it's the Cowboys are just that team.
- 13:43Speaker 4: That's like people love to love to hate. They love
- 13:47Speaker 4: to love, love to hate. It's as simple as that.
- 13:50Speaker 9: It doesn't matter who their team is. If they're a
- 13:52Speaker 9: Package fan, they treat you like you're a Bears fans,
- 13:54Speaker 9: they're a Pats fan, they treat you like your a
- 13:55Speaker 9: Dolphins fan.
- 13:56Speaker 8: It's just it's just fun for me.
- 13:57Speaker 9: I don't know why I embrace it so much, but
- 14:00Speaker 9: I do.
- 14:00Speaker 4: Well. But you have to, you know, yeah, I mean
- 14:03Speaker 4: that's just kind of that's that's what it is. But
- 14:06Speaker 4: it also you know, that's that's why you're a fan
- 14:08Speaker 4: of any team. You know, you have to deal with
- 14:11Speaker 4: with the negative stuff because it makes the positive stuff
- 14:14Speaker 4: a lot sweeter, just like this.
- 14:15Speaker 9: This last game, absolutely, and you know this last game
- 14:19Speaker 9: that was so fun, Like I mean, we were doing
- 14:22Speaker 9: a little you know, storyline cad and you know, as
- 14:25Speaker 9: soon as Jalen scores, there's some starcas of like I never.
- 14:28Speaker 12: Doubted Jalen Ditsch for a second.
- 14:29Speaker 6: I always knew it.
- 14:30Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 14:32Speaker 8: It's just a lot of fun.
- 14:33Speaker 9: But anyways, that's all I got today, man, just loving it.
- 14:37Speaker 9: Like I said, thirty nine, here's to the last three
- 14:39Speaker 9: hundred and sixty five days in my thirties, all right.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Man, Well enjoy it. Happy birthday to you, Brian and
- 14:45Speaker 4: Lakeland Florida. Appreciate the call there. Let's keep it going.
- 14:49Speaker 4: Let's go to a real first time caller. This is
- 14:52Speaker 4: a Philly in Las Cruses to Mexico.
- 14:55Speaker 10: Philly, Hey, Nick, how are you doing that?
- 14:58Speaker 4: I'm good. So you're a cowboy fan, Philly.

- 15:05Speaker 12: William yeah yeah.
- 15:06Speaker 4: Yeah, William yeah, yep, yeah, yep.
- 15:11Speaker 10: I'm glad to finally get through. I rarely get to
- 15:13Speaker 10: the listen live, but I've been consuming your content since
- 15:16Speaker 10: it was a TV channel about twenty years ago. Now, yeah,
- 15:20Speaker 10: came across it, and I want to thank whoever gets
- 15:24Speaker 10: that podcast up so quick, because it's it's there as
- 15:26Speaker 10: soon as the show's over. Pretty pretty good, pretty good.
- 15:29Speaker 4: That would be Josh Roguez and his crew, Josh and Chris.
- 15:32Speaker 10: It's knocking that out, fantastic, and it's it's gotten quicker
- 15:36Speaker 10: over the years. It used to be a few hours
- 15:38Speaker 10: afterwards ten years ago or whatever. Now it's right away.
- 15:40Speaker 4: But let's not forget there's eight of them. Okay, I
- 15:44Speaker 4: mean you know that it's not just well you put
- 15:47Speaker 4: up the podcast. You're putting up podcasts all day long.
- 15:50Speaker 4: So yeah, it's impressive. They do a good job.
- 15:52Speaker 10: Yeah, I used to listen to all the shows. I
- 15:54Speaker 10: can't keep up with eight anymore.
- 15:55Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's tough.
- 15:57Speaker 10: But actually had a question, like more of a league policy,
- 16:01Speaker 10: but what's the rule on like coaching other teams coaches
- 16:04Speaker 10: during the seasons. It always seems like it's driven me.
- 16:07Speaker 10: It's driven me nuts in the past, like you know,
- 16:09Speaker 10: we'll go twelve and five and yeah, win and kill
- 16:12Speaker 10: it Moore interviewing before a playoff game or something like that. Yep,
- 16:15Speaker 10: But I mean it seems like the Lions coach is
- 16:17Speaker 10: the is the hot one right now. But like, let's
- 16:19Speaker 10: the stop of team from the Bears, who has already
- 16:21Speaker 10: fired their coach from doing it mid season and h
- 16:25Speaker 10: and you know that. I'm sure it's going to drive
- 16:27Speaker 10: Lions fans nuts because it's the best team they've ever had, really,
- 16:29Speaker 10: And yeah, both of their coordinators are going to be
- 16:31Speaker 10: interviewing before they play the Packers in the second round
- 16:33Speaker 10: or something like that. Yeah, yeah, no, I that's a
- 16:38Speaker 10: good question.
- 16:39Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever heard of the rule in
- 16:42Speaker 4: the regular season, So if that might be a rule,
- 16:46Speaker 4: I mean, it usually doesn't happen that way. But but yeah,
- 16:50Speaker 4: I mean it happens in the playoffs and and and
- 16:54Speaker 4: I think because because typically you have an interim coach,
- 16:57Speaker 4: so yeah, you know you're you're gonna let it roll
- 17:00Speaker 4: that way. But no, I think for the most part,
- 17:04Speaker 4: it's a it's a playoff thing, you know that that
- 17:06Speaker 4: that happens kind of in the playoffs.
- 17:08Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, personally, I think they should just put
- 17:10Speaker 10: them off limits till after the Super Bowl. I mean,
- 17:12Speaker 10: there's a month and nothing after that. We could have
- 17:14Speaker 10: have some news on coaching HighRes then. But uh, but yeah,
- 17:17Speaker 10: I know what happens in the playoffs. I'm just wondering
- 17:19Speaker 10: if it's just more of a policy or people are
- 17:23Speaker 10: just nice about not other team's coaches during the season.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Well yeah, but you also got to remember this too,
- 17:29Speaker 4: like like when the season is over, let's say this
- 17:33Speaker 4: for whoever and and and their coach is going to
- 17:35Speaker 4: be there. You know, they get a head start on
- 17:38Speaker 4: a lot of things, a lot of personnel decisions that
- 17:40Speaker 4: they're going to make it all that, so I don't
- 17:41Speaker 4: think they want to push it to that point because
- 17:44Speaker 4: you know, if you're going to change it. So it's
- 17:46Speaker 4: just it kind of is what it is. And yeah,
- 17:48Speaker 4: I mean it happened to last year dan Quinn was
- 17:51Speaker 4: interviewing for for jobs and uh, you know, was he prepared?
- 17:58Speaker 4: I mean, well, the defense was terrible. The defense was
- 18:02Speaker 4: absolutely terrible against against the package. And I'm not blaming him,
- 18:06Speaker 4: but for whatever the reason, they had their worst showing.
- 18:09Speaker 4: And so so, yeah, that that does happen. And if
- 18:12Speaker 4: the Lions lose in the playoffs, then their fans will
- 18:17Speaker 4: say we're cursed. We're cursed because our coaches got in
- 18:20Speaker 4: were interviewing before the you know, the games. That's the
- 18:24Speaker 4: reality of it. Yeah.
- 18:26Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 18:26Speaker 10: And then one other question, what's Josh Ellis.
- 18:29Speaker 8: Up to these days?
- 18:29Speaker 4: Josh Ellis, Yeah, I don't know, Like I don't, I know,
- 18:36Speaker 4: he's uh, I forgot exactly, like a publishing company or something.
- 18:41Speaker 4: He's doing something.
- 18:42Speaker 10: Much as miss sarcasm during Cowboys games on Twitter.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure he's still got it. I'm sure he's
- 18:47Speaker 4: still got it, haven't. I haven't talked to him in
- 18:50Speaker 4: a while, but yeah, he's uh, I'm sure he's still
- 18:54Speaker 4: he's still you know, throwing some singers now and again. Uh, yeah,
- 18:57Speaker 4: that's that's kind of what he does. So all right,
- 19:00Speaker 4: all right, Billy, thanks.
- 19:02Speaker 10: For taking my calls. Have finally get through.
- 19:04Speaker 6: I have a great one.
- 19:05Speaker 4: All right, thank you. All right, let's go one more
- 19:10Speaker 4: call here before we take a break. Cowboy Jeff, he's
- 19:14Speaker 4: in Maryland. What's that man?
- 19:16Speaker 13: Merry Christmas?
- 19:17Speaker 11: How are you?
- 19:18Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you doing?
- 19:20Speaker 6: I am.
- 19:21Speaker 13: I'm just doing better than I deserve. That's how I'm.
- 19:24Speaker 4: Doing better than you deserve. Okay, all right? Where are
- 19:27Speaker 4: you from? Where are you calling from?
- 19:30Speaker 13: Mount Airy, Maryland?
- 19:31Speaker 4: Nice? Okay, all right, So I get it.
- 19:35Speaker 13: I get that's where cowboy Jeff comes from. Because the
- 19:38Speaker 13: my neighbors that aren't cowboys fan Whenever cowboys lose, they're like, oh,
- 19:42Speaker 13: there's cowboys, Jeff, let's go, let them have it. But
- 19:45Speaker 13: when the cowboys win, they avoid me, like the Plaguey's
- 19:49Speaker 13: that's cool with me.
- 19:50Speaker 4: I hadn't seen them today.
- 19:51Speaker 13: Huh yeah. I can't see anyone anywhere near me. But
- 19:57Speaker 13: so I had a comment. I wanted to comment about
- 20:00Speaker 13: Ceedee Lamb's toughness. Toughness. I mean, he's he's showing it
- 20:03Speaker 13: this year, but I really think he showed it. I
- 20:06Speaker 13: remember his rookie season. He would catch a pass and
- 20:09Speaker 13: just get tasted and they would throw flags but he
- 20:12Speaker 13: would just get up and wipe his nose. And I
- 20:15Speaker 13: was like, wow, because he looks pretty. He doesn't look
- 20:18Speaker 13: that big, but he's tough as heck.
- 20:21Speaker 6: Yeah, appreciate that.
- 20:23Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, he's not the biggest, but he's added some
- 20:26Speaker 4: weight this year. Uh yeah for for this type of
- 20:29Speaker 4: you know reason and you know, and he's and and
- 20:32Speaker 4: he's still breaking tackle. So he's been a good run
- 20:35Speaker 4: after catch guy. No, it's been it's been a good
- 20:38Speaker 4: it's been a good season for him, It really has been.
- 20:42Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 20:43Speaker 13: And then the other thing, I was going to ask
- 20:44Speaker 13: you to tell a story. So I know I've told
- 20:47Speaker 13: you before, I want to work for you know, at
- 20:49Speaker 13: the Star and I want to work at at and
- 20:52Speaker 13: He Stadium. But but I got it. I figured it out.
- 20:55Speaker 13: I could be your get back coach for you personally,
- 20:58Speaker 13: for me, your back coach. Yeah yeah, because you know,
- 21:01Speaker 13: if people are tapping on the grass on the glass,
- 21:03Speaker 13: you know, when you're doing your show and and distracting
- 21:07Speaker 13: you know, I'm kidding about that. But uh, but the
- 21:09Speaker 13: story I wanted you, I think you've told her before,
- 21:11Speaker 13: but maybe even go into more detail. Something happened the
- 21:14Speaker 13: last time you visited the Carolina Panthers. Man And uh
- 21:20Speaker 13: and I think you told her before, but I can't
- 21:22Speaker 13: remember the whole story, if you don't mind telling that.
- 21:24Speaker 13: But anyway, appreciate you go Cowboys all right and up year.
- 21:29Speaker 4: Thank you. Well, Yeah, there were no issues in Carolina
- 21:35Speaker 4: this year. No, no no issues at all. Pretty clean
- 21:40Speaker 4: glint game from that standpoint. Last year, yeah, there was.
- 21:46Speaker 4: There was an issue or two and and a couple
- 21:49Speaker 4: of little other dust ups, if you will. That probably
- 21:54Speaker 4: went down to you know, me being not as patient
- 21:57Speaker 4: as I needed to be. But at the the last
- 22:00Speaker 4: one there at the very end, our team was trying
- 22:03Speaker 4: to do a we're trying to do some stand ups,
- 22:07Speaker 4: and they the head of security was was just didn't
- 22:12Speaker 4: like us being right there but kind of by the tunnel,
- 22:14Speaker 4: so moved us to the back and and just kept
- 22:18Speaker 4: talking and talking and and he was just fed up
- 22:21Speaker 4: because it had been a day. Now the Cowboys are
- 22:23Speaker 4: basically just it was a takeover of the stadium from
- 22:25Speaker 4: the Jimmy Johnson you know interview or the announcement to
- 22:29Speaker 4: the Bank of America CEO being in Jerry Sweet. Even
- 22:34Speaker 4: though the stadium is called Bank of America Stadium. He's
- 22:36Speaker 4: over there with his first game of the season that
- 22:38Speaker 4: he attended, and he attends it and sits with Jerry
- 22:41Speaker 4: and not with the Panthers CEO, so that that was
- 22:44Speaker 4: another issue. Anyways, this security guard basically just said, hey,
- 22:47Speaker 4: you guys need to get get out of here, you know,
- 22:49Speaker 4: move over here and and go by. Go Happy Thanksgiving
- 22:53Speaker 4: to you, you know whatever. I think it was written
- 22:54Speaker 4: for Thanksgiving. And he said, you guys are the visitors,
- 22:58Speaker 4: remember that. And so I said, well, you know, I'm
- 23:00Speaker 4: judging by the fans there, it looks like we're the
- 23:03Speaker 4: home team. Well that was probably not what needed to
- 23:06Speaker 4: be said. Anyways, the guy comes over, he keeps harassing us.
- 23:10Speaker 4: He finally I'm looking at his badge, like, who is
- 23:12Speaker 4: this guy? He looks at mine and rips it off
- 23:15Speaker 4: of my belt. I got this flimsy little badge. He
- 23:17Speaker 4: rips it off, folded it up, put it in his pocket.
- 23:23Speaker 4: So and I actually got real calm at that point.
- 23:27Speaker 4: All I did was went and got a police officer
- 23:29Speaker 4: and said, let me have my badge back. This guy's
- 23:31Speaker 4: taking it from me. Little did I know this is
- 23:33Speaker 4: the director of security there. So he goes to the
- 23:36Speaker 4: cop and calls him by name, you know, hey Frank,
- 23:40Speaker 4: you know it's good or whatever. And so the guy
- 23:43Speaker 4: basically says, you have two choices, the cop does you
- 23:45Speaker 4: get either go to jail for trespassing or you can
- 23:47Speaker 4: get on the bus. So I decided to get on
- 23:49Speaker 4: the bus. But there were some email exchanges, and all
- 23:54Speaker 4: I know is a week later, Stephen Jones is talking
- 23:56Speaker 4: to me. You know, he heard about it. So it
- 23:59Speaker 4: was a This year was not let's go to break

- 26:08Speaker 4: next on the line. He's been holding John. What's up hey?
- 26:13Speaker 12: In one of the words on on a dig right now?
- 26:17Speaker 12: Are they thinking about cutting it? That's the injury this year?
- 26:22Speaker 4: I don't believe so. Uh, Trayvon Diggs is that who
- 26:25Speaker 4: you're referring to? Trayvon?
- 26:27Speaker 12: Yeah, I saw the top up yesterday that the injury
- 26:30Speaker 12: was worse than they thought that he should be getting cut.
- 26:33Speaker 4: Well, that usually doesn't work like that. I mean, if
- 26:37Speaker 4: the injury is worse than you thought, you get surgery.
- 26:38Speaker 4: And so that's what I thought.
- 26:41Speaker 12: That's thought about it.
- 26:43Speaker 4: No, I don't think he's going to get cut. I mean,
- 26:46Speaker 4: you know, and I think there was some talk about,
- 26:49Speaker 4: you know, his contract maybe either getting extended or pushed out,
- 26:53Speaker 4: or maybe they cut him, maybe they trade him. I mean,
- 26:56Speaker 4: you know, a lot of options were on the table there. Uh,
- 26:58Speaker 4: this injury looks like he's to be out. Stephen Jones
- 27:01Speaker 4: said yesterday eight eight weeks, eight months, eight months to
- 27:05Speaker 4: eight month injury. So this is is Yeah, this is
- 27:08Speaker 4: probably one where you know, it'll it'll go into next season.
- 27:11Speaker 4: He'll probably start on pupp But.
- 27:14Speaker 6: You know, do you have any stories on Michael my
- 27:18Speaker 6: favorite Michael Irvin?
- 27:21Speaker 4: All right, well there's some stories obviously. Now I didn't
- 27:25Speaker 4: cover him, Thanks for the call, John, I didn't cover
- 27:28Speaker 4: most of his career. You know, I covered h I
- 27:32Speaker 4: was there in ninety eight, ninety nine. Now you know
- 27:36Speaker 4: my first year covered on the a training camp in
- 27:39Speaker 4: Wichita Falls. He that was scissors Gate, you know, with
- 27:44Speaker 4: the incident there with Everett mckiver. It's probably not the
- 27:47Speaker 4: story that you're taking. I got a story. I got
- 27:50Speaker 4: a story for Yeah, I mean like this, I should
- 27:53Speaker 4: have told this. I think I forgot to tell this.
- 27:56Speaker 4: When I was a kid, I was I mean, I
- 27:57Speaker 4: was thirteen years old and I and Halloween, me and
- 28:03Speaker 4: some buddies were walking around and we saw Michael Irvin.
- 28:07Speaker 4: He lived like two streets over. Michael Irvin second year
- 28:10Speaker 4: in the league, I believe nineteen eighty nine season, sitting
- 28:14Speaker 4: out in front of his house with a stack of
- 28:16Speaker 4: football cards, signing autographs and hating him out. Trick or
- 28:19Speaker 4: treat so and I had one for a while. I
- 28:22Speaker 4: don't know if I still have that card, but yeah,
- 28:25Speaker 4: he was just signing autographs and hand them out better
- 28:30Speaker 4: than any skittles you're gonna get there. So yeah, that's
- 28:33Speaker 4: my Michael Irvin story. Pretty safe, safe story. I'm sure
- 28:36Speaker 4: there's others. All right, let's go to Rick in Webster, Massachusetts.
- 28:43Speaker 11: Hey, next, how you doing good?
- 28:44Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 28:46Speaker 11: I'm good, especially after a win yesterday Victree Monday.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Right right, definitely for sure everyone needed that.
- 28:56Speaker 11: Yeah, I think they played a all the round game,
- 29:00Speaker 11: a three phases who are pretty good. My five stars
- 29:04Speaker 11: were basically the cd Rico, mi Uh, Marris Leafel, and
- 29:12Speaker 11: Osa with the you know, Jordans and Hits Kendricks.
- 29:16Speaker 4: Yeah. That's that's a good list. I mean, that's the
- 29:19Speaker 4: thing there, there's ten of them. I mean we are
- 29:22Speaker 4: we were, you know, discussing who should be the player
- 29:25Speaker 4: of the game for social and there were about four options.
- 29:30Speaker 4: You know, Cooper Rush had a nice game, Rico had
- 29:32Speaker 4: had a really good game, cd Osa Osa was the
- 29:36Speaker 4: one I think that they picked. But Mike had great
- 29:39Speaker 4: stats too, So that's that's a great team win when
- 29:42Speaker 4: you can go and you have a lot of different
- 29:44Speaker 4: guys on both sides of the ball that you can
- 29:46Speaker 4: that you can point to.
- 29:49Speaker 11: And they really picked it up in the second half
- 29:51Speaker 11: with everybody and a good to see you be trying
- 29:55Speaker 11: to kick a seventy yearder.
- 29:57Speaker 4: Yeah I was. You know, honestly, I did not like that.
- 30:01Speaker 4: I did not like that. I'm a stats guy. If
- 30:04Speaker 4: he can't tell, you know, And so what I was
- 30:07Speaker 4: saying this is like, all right, first of all, I've
- 30:09Speaker 4: seen the Alabama Auburn game, and so all you're doing
- 30:12Speaker 4: is you're asking Tyler Smith and brock Hoffman and those
- 30:15Speaker 4: guys to go chase the kickoff. So it could be
- 30:18Speaker 4: dangerous because if he doesn't get it there, but you know,
- 30:21Speaker 4: season's gonna end. You're like, Aubrey had a good year,
- 30:24Speaker 4: Aubrey make the Pro Bowl. Well, you know he missed
- 30:26Speaker 4: five kicks? Did he did? He miss five kicks? Two
- 30:29Speaker 4: of them were blocked. One of them is seventy yarder,
- 30:32Speaker 4: you know, and you know in a swirling wind down there,
- 30:35Speaker 4: like I just look at it like, probably not gonna
- 30:38Speaker 4: make it. So if you're gonna try seventy yarder, I
- 30:40Speaker 4: do it at a T T stadium with roofs and
- 30:42Speaker 4: doors closed and let him let him bang it then.
- 30:45Speaker 4: But whatever, it's all good. Thank you, all right man,
- 30:50Speaker 4: thanks uh all right. You know I was we were
- 30:54Speaker 4: talking about different guys though that played that played well
- 30:58Speaker 4: in the game and on on defense. And you know
- 31:00Speaker 4: they had six sacks. Five different players got a sack.
- 31:05Speaker 4: When you look at either getting a sack forcing a turnover,
- 31:11Speaker 4: it's it's like seven different players, eight players. Actually, that's
- 31:15Speaker 4: that's a strong game. That's a strong game when you
- 31:17Speaker 4: when when everybody gets like who got a turnover? Who
- 31:20Speaker 4: got a sack? And eight guys got their hand up.
- 31:23Speaker 4: That's that's the way it should be. And Mike has
- 31:26Speaker 4: got two, Osa got one and a half. I mean,
- 31:29Speaker 4: that's that's a that's a really good team effort there.
- 31:32Speaker 4: Guy's rallying to the ball, making plays, making plays because
- 31:35Speaker 4: of the pressure. Jordan Lewis gets his hand in, their
- 31:38Speaker 4: ball knocks up in the air, picked by Kendricks. You know,
- 31:41Speaker 4: they had a lot of good pressure. Mukuama with a
- 31:44Speaker 4: with a with a pick so really really a good
- 31:47Speaker 4: game there. All right, let's go to Champ in Grand Island, Nebraska. Champ.
- 31:51Speaker 6: What's up, hey, ned, good morning, Happy victory Monday.
- 31:55Speaker 4: Yeah, how are you doing?
- 31:57Speaker 6: I'm doing well? Man. So I had a question before you,
- 32:00Speaker 6: but I think somebody took it or you answered it,
- 32:02Speaker 6: but I wasn't ask you how your trip went and
- 32:04Speaker 6: make sure it was better than last year.
- 32:05Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, it was. It was better than last year.
- 32:09Speaker 4: I didn't see my man security guys just see it
- 32:13Speaker 4: had he'd had a bad day and he, uh, he
- 32:15Speaker 4: took it out. You know, he can't and took it out.
- 32:18Speaker 4: He couldn't take it out on like Jerry and them,
- 32:19Speaker 4: so he took it out on us and it was.
- 32:22Speaker 4: It was fun. It was.
- 32:24Speaker 6: It didn't maybe I missed it. But did you see
- 32:26Speaker 6: him at all this year?
- 32:27Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I did see him right at the end
- 32:30Speaker 4: of the game. He's just standing there.
- 32:32Speaker 6: Yeah, anything there, just they're not or anything.
- 32:35Speaker 4: Because because here's the deal. When you when you act
- 32:40Speaker 4: like that, when a team comes into your stadium and
- 32:43Speaker 4: beats you like that, and then you're you're you're frustrated.
- 32:47Speaker 4: It happens all the time for him, I can promise
- 32:51Speaker 4: you that it happened all the time teams coming in.
- 32:55Speaker 4: You remember that time when a team came in here
- 32:57Speaker 4: and act like they owned the place, They had all
- 32:58Speaker 4: the fans, and they beat our as you know, and
- 33:00Speaker 4: then they act like they could do everything. Yeah, it
- 33:03Speaker 4: happens every week so time. So yeah, I'm just kind
- 33:07Speaker 4: of I was probably one of many. So that's why
- 33:10Speaker 4: I think that's all.
- 33:11Speaker 6: Yeah, good, Well, my other I had another question. I
- 33:15Speaker 6: noticed that Tyler Smith wasn't playing later in the game.
- 33:18Speaker 6: Was that just because they took him out to make
- 33:20Speaker 6: sure he didn't get hurt or was there something that
- 33:23Speaker 6: I miss something that he might have gotten hurt or
- 33:26Speaker 6: I I talked.
- 33:29Speaker 4: To him a little in the locker room. I believe
- 33:31Speaker 4: his high school team is in the state championship game,
- 33:36Speaker 4: so there were some talks about that. He was really
- 33:38Speaker 4: excited about it. Then he was talking just about the
- 33:41Speaker 4: way this team played and how you know they're going
- 33:43Speaker 4: to keep playing and keep fighting here. So I didn't
- 33:46Speaker 4: get the sense of that at all. You know, remember
- 33:50Speaker 4: they just lost Bass quickly like bass goes out. I mean,
- 33:55Speaker 4: it usually takes a while. You get you get an
- 33:57Speaker 4: injury and then you say. They say in the press
- 33:59Speaker 4: ball TJ Bass thigh injury. He's being evaluated. He was
- 34:05Speaker 4: questionable for return. They just ruled him out. So that
- 34:09Speaker 4: right there was like a little little interesting. So we'll see.
- 34:13Speaker 4: I think they were just like we might we may
- 34:15Speaker 4: be down to guard already. Let's let's get him, Let's
- 34:18Speaker 4: get him back here and okay, good, And it might
- 34:21Speaker 4: be a situation where Bb comes back this week and
- 34:23Speaker 4: then Hoffman goes back to guard. Haffin's playing. I mean Hoffin,
- 34:27Speaker 4: he is.
- 34:28Speaker 6: Hoffin is awesome. I'm going to send a shout out
- 34:30Speaker 6: for his apron podcast. He hasn't had one in a while,
- 34:33Speaker 6: but I love listening to him. I listened to all
- 34:36Speaker 6: his episodes last off season, so I can't wait for
- 34:39Speaker 6: him to get started again. I mean, so go ahead,
- 34:41Speaker 6: Tylers Smith question. My concern was on the seventy yard
- 34:45Speaker 6: Goil go with him. He kind of looked like he yep,
- 34:48Speaker 6: looked a little weird when he tried to make that
- 34:51Speaker 6: tackle on him. That's what's scared. I know he played
- 34:54Speaker 6: more in the game, and then when I didn't see him,
- 34:56Speaker 6: I was like, oh, no, second part of that on
- 34:59Speaker 6: TV the.
- 34:59Speaker 5: Same yard attempt.
- 35:01Speaker 6: It was awful. It was bad. Yeah, what was it
- 35:04Speaker 6: like there? Did it look like it got rushed? Did
- 35:09Speaker 6: it't look any better live than it did on TV?
- 35:12Speaker 4: Not really? And we had a good view with press box.
- 35:14Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, we're you know, sideview, but you
- 35:19Speaker 4: could tell because he was he was kicking from left
- 35:21Speaker 4: to right, so we had a really good view of it,
- 35:24Speaker 4: and you could tell it was going to be short
- 35:26Speaker 4: and just. And I could tell right away based off
- 35:29Speaker 4: of the returner down there because of where he was
- 35:31Speaker 4: going for the ball. So I knew that it was.
- 35:34Speaker 4: It wasn't, you know, And I just didn't. I didn't
- 35:37Speaker 4: like it. I didn't like the attempt.
- 35:39Speaker 6: I didn't either. I was hoping it would have been
- 35:41Speaker 6: a sixty nine yard or excuse me, a sixty seven
- 35:44Speaker 6: yard out of seventy. That's a big difference. Yeah, Hey,
- 35:47Speaker 6: before I hang out, real quick, last question. I noticed
- 35:50Speaker 6: you referenced the media guide on your table there a lot,
- 35:53Speaker 6: and I've been meaning to ask you this for a while.
- 35:55Speaker 6: Is there any way that fans can purchase those I
- 35:58Speaker 6: found it online and I downloaded it on my phone.
- 36:00Speaker 6: It's four hundred pages. To try to look through my phone.
- 36:04Speaker 6: That's difficult because one or there's any way or anywhere
- 36:07Speaker 6: that fans can purchase those.
- 36:09Speaker 4: I've never heard of that that. I've never heard of
- 36:11Speaker 4: purchasing it.
- 36:12Speaker 6: No.
- 36:13Speaker 4: Uh, and typically you don't you know, you don't buy
- 36:16Speaker 4: media guides. That's that's typically not something for so they don't.
- 36:21Speaker 4: They don't make that many of them, so I have
- 36:24Speaker 4: never I've never seen that. Now you found a download that,
- 36:27Speaker 4: that's that's cool, but I don't know about purchasing them.
- 36:30Speaker 4: I've never heard that. So Okay, sorry, good deal, Well
- 36:34Speaker 4: with that, go Cowboys.
- 36:35Speaker 6: Let's enjoy this week and get ready for a tough
- 36:37Speaker 6: tap of Bay week. Yep, yeah, thank you you too.
- 36:41Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Irene in Falls Church, Virginia.
- 36:46Speaker 9: Hey, Nick, how you going good?
- 36:48Speaker 4: How are you good?
- 36:49Speaker 6: Good?
- 36:50Speaker 9: Hey?
- 36:50Speaker 15: So you know, I started our and I started that
- 36:54Speaker 15: in the middle of the season when things were going badly.
- 36:56Speaker 15: I was I was one of those who was like,
- 36:58Speaker 15: let's just give up a tank for the draft picks,
- 37:00Speaker 15: and then that Washington game changed my mind. I wanted
- 37:03Speaker 15: to badly be our arrival. We started competing. So all
- 37:06Speaker 15: that to say, I'm no longer rooting for the draft
- 37:08Speaker 15: pick I'm happy. I'm happy they won. What I like
- 37:12Speaker 15: in the evaluation, I guess winner lose, to be honest,
- 37:15Speaker 15: is seeing who on the team cares. Love what I'm
- 37:21Speaker 15: seeing from Micah, Love what I'm seeing from CD playing
- 37:23Speaker 15: through the injury, maris great, Like I'm loving that. So however,
- 37:27Speaker 15: winter loss, however, they get you know, these evaluations.
- 37:31Speaker 10: That's good for me.
- 37:33Speaker 15: What is frustrating, though, is hearing comments from Steven that
- 37:37Speaker 15: are already setting us up for an off season where
- 37:40Speaker 15: we're going to do this negotiation tactic or we don't
- 37:43Speaker 15: sign Micah until you know, two weeks before that started
- 37:47Speaker 15: the season, and we don't sign anyone in free agency
- 37:50Speaker 15: because we didn't sign him early enough. So it's frustrating
- 37:54Speaker 15: because I feel invested in this team, and I just
- 37:57Speaker 15: don't understand the strategy because they end up caving on
- 38:01Speaker 15: the pricing. Anyway, So anyway, happy with the team, but
- 38:05Speaker 15: I don't know about that stuff.
- 38:06Speaker 4: Well, all right, I appreciate the call. I mean, like
- 38:09Speaker 4: the it's real, like like they the actual you know,
- 38:16Speaker 4: cap strain that they're in is a is a real thing.
- 38:19Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's not it's something that they've done,
- 38:22Speaker 4: you know, they they've they've kind of gone for it
- 38:25Speaker 4: and and it didn't work. And now they're going to
- 38:27Speaker 4: be sitting here and they got they got a lot
- 38:29Speaker 4: of money that tied up to you know, other players
- 38:32Speaker 4: that are that are you know, they have been pushing
- 38:35Speaker 4: the can down the road and that this is kind
- 38:37Speaker 4: of where they are. I mean, the top ten players
- 38:40Speaker 4: on their on their cap hit this year, I mean
- 38:42Speaker 4: one of them is is Tyron Smith, one of them
- 38:44Speaker 4: is Michael Gallup. You know, they they they made some
- 38:48Speaker 4: moves there. So and next year is going to be
- 38:50Speaker 4: kind of the same. You're going to see Tank Lawrence
- 38:54Speaker 4: on the books. You'll see Zach Martin, Brandon Cooks, whether
- 38:58Speaker 4: they're on this team or not. That that's a thing.
- 39:00Speaker 4: So yeah, I think that there's still ways to do things.
- 39:04Speaker 4: You can get kind of get tricky. I know Rob
- 39:06Speaker 4: from Vegas talked last week about it one hundred million,
- 39:10Speaker 4: ninety one hundred million, that those numbers just aren't aren't accurate.
- 39:14Speaker 4: And honestly, I don't think the players that that you'd
- 39:17Speaker 4: have to push to to to get to that number.
- 39:20Speaker 4: I don't think you want to extend them because you
- 39:23Speaker 4: probably don't love the fact that Michael Gallup is counting
- 39:25Speaker 4: on the books this year. You know, I actually saw
- 39:28Speaker 4: Michael Gallup at the gas station. Uh, just right before
- 39:31Speaker 4: I was going on the plane. I almost ran him over,
- 39:33Speaker 4: be honest with He kind of gave me a weird look,
- 39:35Speaker 4: and you know, sorry, he didn't really see who I was.
- 39:38Speaker 4: But that's I don't know what he's doing, but I
- 39:41Speaker 4: know he's counting about six million on the cap. You
- 39:44Speaker 4: don't want that, you don't, You don't. We don't want that.
- 39:46Speaker 4: And there there will be guys that if you did
- 39:48Speaker 4: that too, you you would be like, why are we
- 39:51Speaker 4: doing this? Why aren't we just getting rid of him?
- 39:52Speaker 4: Why aren't we replacing him? You certainly don't want to
- 39:54Speaker 4: extend him out. And I'm talking you know, guys like
- 39:58Speaker 4: that in that boat are like Malik Cooker and Terrence Steel,
- 40:02Speaker 4: Trayvon Diggs, Donovan Wilson. I don't think those are the
- 40:05Speaker 4: guys that you want to push out. Now. Yeah, you
- 40:08Speaker 4: could do it to Dak and CD, and you have to, probably,
- 40:10Speaker 4: but not to that to that point there, let's take
- 40:14Speaker 4: another break here on Cowboys storyline. We'll be right back

- 41:50Speaker 8: How are you doing today?
- 41:51Speaker 14: Nick?
- 41:52Speaker 6: Good day?
- 41:52Speaker 4: Right, beautiful, great day, great day.
- 41:55Speaker 8: We one. I don't care that it's storming and right
- 41:57Speaker 8: in here, right now, it's a great, great day.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Well, if it's an I don't want.
- 42:00Speaker 8: To break the kool aid, but I don't.
- 42:01Speaker 5: I don't.
- 42:02Speaker 8: I'm not making it yet.
- 42:03Speaker 4: Well you don't have to. I mean, you know what,
- 42:07Speaker 4: it's already in your system. You don't have to keep
- 42:09Speaker 4: drinking it. You know, it just lives there. It's like blood.
- 42:12Speaker 8: You're right, Maybe there's a chance we still make the playoffs. Man,
- 42:16Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 42:18Speaker 4: There's a chance.
- 42:19Speaker 6: It looks good, but it is not.
- 42:21Speaker 4: It does not look good. This is not good. It
- 42:23Speaker 4: would not be good for our man. Dan Quinn in
- 42:26Speaker 4: Washington not that I care about that. I'm just saying
- 42:29Speaker 4: that would be a major collapse over there. They had
- 42:33Speaker 4: to beat Cincinnati. They had to they had to win
- 42:35Speaker 4: that game. That you win that game, now you're putting
- 42:38Speaker 4: some pressures.
- 42:39Speaker 8: We beat the Eagles in the and I almost called
- 42:41Speaker 8: them the Redskins and the Commanders.
- 42:43Speaker 4: I mean, they have to lose it, like right now. Well,
- 42:47Speaker 4: right now, Washington is three games up on you. Washington's
- 42:50Speaker 4: the last playoff team. There are three games up on
- 42:52Speaker 4: the Cowboys with three to go.
- 42:54Speaker 8: So yeah, it's not looking good. I'm still hopeful, man,
- 42:58Speaker 8: I still hope we make it.
- 42:59Speaker 4: It'd be great.
- 43:00Speaker 8: I want that thirty second pick in the draft.
- 43:02Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, that would be cool.
- 43:06Speaker 6: All right.
- 43:06Speaker 8: Hey, man, I gotta say last thing. I always love
- 43:10Speaker 8: watching Greg Olsen call the games.
- 43:12Speaker 5: First.
- 43:12Speaker 8: I don't know why, but I think he just seems
- 43:14Speaker 8: to enjoy our team, and there aren't always a whole
- 43:17Speaker 8: lot of announcers that are like that. I wonder if
- 43:19Speaker 8: he wanted to be a Cowboy back in the day.
- 43:21Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know. I mean, do you
- 43:23Speaker 4: get that since Sunday? Did you get that watching it?
- 43:26Speaker 8: Because except all the stupid talking about trade and Micah.
- 43:30Speaker 4: Well, I actually heard him. I actually heard him talking
- 43:34Speaker 4: to some people up in the press box. I heard
- 43:36Speaker 4: him talking to people. He's like, yeah, I got this game,
- 43:38Speaker 4: this game, and then I'll be back. He's talking to
- 43:40Speaker 4: someone about because I guess he lives there still. He was,
- 43:43Speaker 4: you know, with the Panthers for so long. So the
- 43:46Speaker 4: fact that you say it seems like he liked calling
- 43:49Speaker 4: the cowboy game win. In reality, he knows some of
- 43:52Speaker 4: the players on the team and Carolina knows that organization
- 43:55Speaker 4: really well and calls it home. You know, I think
- 43:59Speaker 4: that that's good. I know. I know Akeman gets you know,
- 44:02Speaker 4: criticized a lot because he's not a cowboy, you know,
- 44:06Speaker 4: Homer when it comes, you know, he's not. And I
- 44:09Speaker 4: think I think Greg Olsen does a really good job.
- 44:11Speaker 4: I think he's really really good. I think that team
- 44:15Speaker 4: is as about as good that Yeah, no, no, I'm
- 44:18Speaker 4: talking about I'm talking about the team, is it Joe Davis?
- 44:23Speaker 4: Is that Joe Davis and Olsen? They're really good. They're
- 44:27Speaker 4: really good. And you know, we all know what happened
- 44:29Speaker 4: with Fox and Brady just jumps into it. But but
- 44:33Speaker 4: they they've they've done a really good job.
- 44:35Speaker 8: So all right, all right, Robbie about the cowboys, Vick,
- 44:38Speaker 8: we'll talk to you man.
- 44:39Speaker 4: All right here, we're good Robbie. All right, let's go
- 44:46Speaker 4: from Robbie to Rob in Las Vegas. We know where
- 44:52Speaker 4: ve Yeah, I'm good man. How are you excited your
- 44:58Speaker 4: party last night? Vegas never sleeps.
- 45:02Speaker 6: No.
- 45:02Speaker 7: Vegas made a lot of money yesterday because everybody bet Dallas.
- 45:07Speaker 7: I cannot believe Carolina would favored. We should have all
- 45:11Speaker 7: bet the mortgage on the on the Carolina is awful.
- 45:14Speaker 4: Agreed, Agreed. I actually wrote my column about that. I
- 45:17Speaker 4: don't know if you saw that, but I actually said,
- 45:20Speaker 4: let's just as a reminder to fans, if it's a
- 45:23Speaker 4: three point line, it doesn't mean the Panthers are three
- 45:26Speaker 4: points better. It mean they've got a that's what they're
- 45:29Speaker 4: trying to do to try to make some money here,
- 45:32Speaker 4: because and they didn't. Yeah, there's no way.
- 45:34Speaker 7: I think they I think they were counting on and
- 45:36Speaker 7: I kind of thought it may happen. Is a little
- 45:39Speaker 7: letdown from the cowboys. Yeah, pretty much gone. And I
- 45:43Speaker 7: think that's what they figured. Carolina looked good against Kansas City.
- 45:47Speaker 4: But and that's all fair. Those are fair assumptions. I
- 45:50Speaker 4: thought maybe Carolina would play better than that, and I
- 45:52Speaker 4: thought the Cowboys might be flat after that, the way
- 45:54Speaker 4: they lost. But yeah, it was you know, I give
- 45:57Speaker 4: the Cowboys credit for that. They they didn't they did
- 46:00Speaker 4: not do that, and especially when it's cold like that
- 46:03Speaker 4: and you got players that you know, and it wasn't
- 46:06Speaker 4: bitter cold, but it's still it's not comfortable. And those
- 46:10Speaker 4: are just the type of games that when it doesn't matter,
- 46:12Speaker 4: you're like, uh, well, you didn't see it. You did
- 46:15Speaker 4: not see that from from that team.
- 46:17Speaker 7: I thought, what was great to see, But we'll see
- 46:20Speaker 7: what happens in the future. Is Rico has established himself
- 46:25Speaker 7: as a number one back. It just goes to show
- 46:28Speaker 7: when the offensive line plays good, a lot of backs
- 46:32Speaker 7: could look good. I think Rico now has taken genty
- 46:36Speaker 7: as he's not a priority in round one, So if
- 46:39Speaker 7: if they have a chance to get a really good
- 46:42Speaker 7: pass rusher, I think they would go that route, sign
- 46:46Speaker 7: Rico and then go get a running back later on,
- 46:48Speaker 7: which I think is a good problem. Yeah, but the
- 46:51Speaker 7: guy that played great as Osa, he's been good all year.
- 46:55Speaker 7: It's funny when these guys are looking to get paid
- 46:57Speaker 7: how it's just the game really looks easy. Now we're
- 47:02Speaker 7: going to test the Cowboys theory now because they love
- 47:05Speaker 7: to say we love to sign our own. Where there
- 47:08Speaker 7: you go, guys, you're drafted. We talked about the salary cap. Yeah, yes,
- 47:13Speaker 7: take a free up eighty one million dollars. Immediately by
- 47:16Speaker 7: pushing dack CD they got to carry over of twenty
- 47:19Speaker 7: three million, so that's eighty one million dollars.
- 47:22Speaker 6: Now.
- 47:23Speaker 7: I don't think they're gonna do I think what's gonna
- 47:25Speaker 7: happen in the next week or two because I see
- 47:27Speaker 7: them losing the next three if Philadelphia is playing for
- 47:32Speaker 7: the number one seed, and if Washington's you know, has
- 47:35Speaker 7: to win, and because I know Tampa Bay is playing
- 47:39Speaker 7: for something, I think. I'm not positive. I think they're
- 47:42Speaker 7: going to sign Mike McCartney to a three year extension
- 47:47Speaker 7: because why would you set up the head coach to
- 47:51Speaker 7: fail the new guy? Because Mike McCarty, for whatever reason,
- 47:55Speaker 7: if he was smart, he would walk because they set
- 47:58Speaker 7: him up for failure this year, and they're already gonna
- 48:02Speaker 7: try to set them up for failure next year. If
- 48:04Speaker 7: they're really gonna do what they say they gotta do
- 48:07Speaker 7: by not using the free agency money that they'll have available.
- 48:10Speaker 7: Like Irene said, Steven's already talking crap about Micah. This
- 48:15Speaker 7: is they pulled this all the time. It's like when
- 48:17Speaker 7: you run for president and all of a sudden they
- 48:20Speaker 7: come out of the woodwork from twenty five years ago.
- 48:23Speaker 7: Oh this guy did this. That's what they do to
- 48:25Speaker 7: these players. And I just don't get it. These are
- 48:27Speaker 7: the best players in the league. I'm gonna stand doing
- 48:29Speaker 7: it to some average guy. But if Micah has approved
- 48:33Speaker 7: nothing to you by now, he should walk. He should
- 48:37Speaker 7: he should want to get out. So I just think
- 48:39Speaker 7: McCarthy's gonna sign. I know the fans like them. Some
- 48:44Speaker 7: fans they bomb My one thing. When Mike McCarthy is
- 48:48Speaker 7: number one, he's only got one playoff win, that's it.
- 48:51Speaker 7: And to me, he was brought in to be better
- 48:53Speaker 7: than Jason Garrett and he has not been. So that's
- 48:56Speaker 7: why I want him gone.
- 48:58Speaker 6: You know.
- 48:58Speaker 7: It was funny. My father was watching a game with
- 49:01Speaker 7: me and he said, he said to me, he says,
- 49:03Speaker 7: why do you want to get rid of Mike McCarthy.
- 49:04Speaker 7: Who else is out there that's better? And it was
- 49:07Speaker 7: the play where it was third and one and Cooper
- 49:10Speaker 7: Rush tried to do some rollout and he fumbled and
- 49:14Speaker 7: I said, that's why why. I just pointed to the
- 49:17Speaker 7: TV and I said, that's why I want him.
- 49:19Speaker 4: God, so we last well.
- 49:23Speaker 8: But that's my prediction.
- 49:25Speaker 7: I think you gets a three year extension either this
- 49:29Speaker 7: week or next week.
- 49:32Speaker 4: Okay, wow, I'd be surprised by that. Thanks for the call, Rob.
- 49:38Speaker 4: I don't know about about the extension in the middle
- 49:42Speaker 4: of this or not the middle season, but with the
- 49:44Speaker 4: season still going on, I don't know. If I see that,
- 49:47Speaker 4: and I'll say this, I don't think Stephen Jones is
- 49:50Speaker 4: this isn't throwing out daggers at at Micah Parsons. Maybe
- 49:56Speaker 4: this is a part of the negotiation part because Mike
- 50:00Speaker 4: has been negotiating too. Now, you know through the media
- 50:04Speaker 4: it's don't act let's don't act like it's not happening.
- 50:07Speaker 4: Both ways, Mike has been negotiating. He's been saying all
- 50:11Speaker 4: the right things. Michael wants to get paid, like the
- 50:14Speaker 4: highest paid defensive player that's ever played, and the Cowboys
- 50:20Speaker 4: don't want to pay probably that number that they don't
- 50:22Speaker 4: you know, so, but I don't I he's gonna get
- 50:26Speaker 4: signed in my opinion, I believe that everything that you said,
- 50:30Speaker 4: like I hear it, I still I will not. I
- 50:34Speaker 4: will just believe it when I see it that they
- 50:36Speaker 4: let a player like this that fell into their lap
- 50:40Speaker 4: with the twelfth overall pick a player like this who
- 50:43Speaker 4: plays the way he does the way he played the
- 50:46Speaker 4: other day. Now, I'm just I'll believe it when I
- 50:50Speaker 4: see it. If the Cowboys let him walk, I'm sorry,
- 50:53Speaker 4: he's one of those figure it out, Figure it out, man,
- 50:57Speaker 4: figure it out. Try to hope that you draft some
- 50:59Speaker 4: other good play around it for for cheap, but you
- 51:02Speaker 4: get a guy like him, I'm not letting him go.
- 51:05Speaker 4: That's that's just me and I don't. I don't know
- 51:08Speaker 4: if Jerry will either. I have not seen Jerry actually
- 51:10Speaker 4: do that in his career. So we'll we'll we'll see
- 51:14Speaker 4: what happens. And and and don't throw the herschel Walker
- 51:17Speaker 4: stuff out there that that's that was a team that
- 51:20Speaker 4: I mean, that was a different time, different era. You're
- 51:23Speaker 4: not gonna get that. You're not going to get that
- 51:25Speaker 4: type of of of return investment on a player like that.
- 51:29Speaker 4: I think what's gonna what will help you the most
- 51:30Speaker 4: is build around him with the scheme and the players,
- 51:34Speaker 4: because he plays like he's playing here when he's healthy
- 51:37Speaker 4: and he's he's an animal. He's an he's a lion.
- 51:40Speaker 4: That's really what he what he calls himself. All Right,
- 51:43Speaker 4: great show, guys, appreciate it. Uh, it's been a lot
- 51:45Speaker 4: of fun. We will do it again tomorrow, so a
- 51:48Speaker 4: different time on Tuesday, different time. Just just to let
- 51:52Speaker 4: people know, we're going to actually move back two hours
- 51:56Speaker 4: to noon Central time just for tomorrow's show. It's gonna
- 52:00Speaker 4: be kind of different all week long with different times.
- 52:03Speaker 4: Just know that Tuesday show will not be at ten Central,
- 52:06Speaker 4: it will be at noon, so changing spots with mix shots,
