- 0:02Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
- 0:05Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 3: This is these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.
- 0:18Speaker 2: What's up, friends, It's time for Cowboys storyline. I am
- 0:21Speaker 2: Nick Eatman. Here. It is Wednesday, November the eighth, Cowboys
- 0:25Speaker 2: getting ready for a matchup with the New York Football Giants.
- 0:31Speaker 2: And it's hard to kind of switch gears here a
- 0:35Speaker 2: little bit. You've had a showdown a game with Philadelphia.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Obviously a disappointing loss. Still, I think there were some
- 0:42Speaker 2: positives to take from it. Not all. It's not a
- 0:44Speaker 2: good loss for any callers that might think that, that's
- 0:48Speaker 2: what I'm saying, But I do think there's positives to
- 0:50Speaker 2: take and the schedule certainly gets to a point where
- 0:53Speaker 2: you think the Cowboys start winning some games, and it
- 0:55Speaker 2: starts this week against the Giants, which the weird part
- 0:59Speaker 2: is is that they beat them forty to nothing in
- 1:02Speaker 2: Week one and since then, I think the Giants are
- 1:06Speaker 2: worse than they were as far as just health wise
- 1:11Speaker 2: and just where just how they're playing. That's what looks
- 1:14Speaker 2: like from AFAR, and I think the Cowboys, from their
- 1:16Speaker 2: health standpoint, maybe a little bit better also, and how
- 1:21Speaker 2: things are, you know, flowing a little bit more on offense,
- 1:24Speaker 2: DA playing better. So you know, now they did have
- 1:28Speaker 2: some injuries since then, Layton Trayvon Diggs and all that,
- 1:31Speaker 2: but I still think the cow So the Cowboys seem
- 1:34Speaker 2: to be in a little better shape than they were
- 1:35Speaker 2: when they beat them forty to nothing. The Giants are worse.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Does that mean it's gonna be more than forty to nothing, No,
- 1:39Speaker 2: it doesn't. It means it'll probably be a little closer.
- 1:41Speaker 2: The way this weird NFL works storylines for the team,
- 1:46Speaker 2: the Cowboys have agreed to terms, probably gonna sign today
- 1:49Speaker 2: wide receiver Mark Davis Bryant. Interesting move there. He's gonna
- 1:56Speaker 2: be on the practice squad. He's a guy that's a
- 1:58Speaker 2: you know, big tall six four two hundred pounder, can run. Played,
- 2:03Speaker 2: but hadn't played in a long time. It's played has
- 2:05Speaker 2: been like four or five years. I believe he was
- 2:07Speaker 2: put the Steelers with the Raiders. He's on the suspension
- 2:10Speaker 2: list for a while. It's been around in some other leagues.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Cowboys did a workout, gave him a shot, and now
- 2:17Speaker 2: you know he's on the practice squad and you can
- 2:19Speaker 2: do things like this when you have a practice squad
- 2:21Speaker 2: of sixteen players and you can call them up, you know,
- 2:24Speaker 2: three times during the years so to elevate them during
- 2:27Speaker 2: the game. So to me, this is a look and
- 2:30Speaker 2: see type thing. They've done it before. They did it
- 2:32Speaker 2: with Tac McKinley, Antonio Callaway, so you know, and those
- 2:38Speaker 2: guys really didn't contribute or anything like that. So this
- 2:40Speaker 2: is just a chance to see what Mark Davis Briant does.
- 2:43Speaker 2: It's not, you know, anything on oh well, they got
- 2:46Speaker 2: to improve from gallup or they don't like what Brandy cooks.
- 2:49Speaker 2: I don't think it's anything like that. I think it's
- 2:52Speaker 2: let's just see if this guy's got anything left and
- 2:54Speaker 2: if he does, well, you know, see if he holly
- 2:56Speaker 2: fits all right. Eight eight eight five five two two
- 2:59Speaker 2: ninety seven is the phone number for us. You can
- 3:02Speaker 2: give us a call. We have two on the line.
- 3:03Speaker 2: So we're going to start it right there, Gary in
- 3:05Speaker 2: New Mexico. You're first off here.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Hey, nick, I got a quick trivia question.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Oh, here we go. Don't embarrass me.
- 3:13Speaker 4: That's an easy one. Cowboys have had a franchise for
- 3:16Speaker 4: what sixty plus years? How many times have they used
- 3:19Speaker 4: their first round pick on a quarterback.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good one. Do you have any other questions.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Comments comment about today's Cowboys?
- 3:32Speaker 2: Go for it, go for it and as you're talking,
- 3:35Speaker 2: might try to throw them in there.
- 3:37Speaker 4: Look it up you that's an easy question. But the
- 3:40Speaker 4: Cowboys are not as good as I thought they were
- 3:43Speaker 4: when the season started.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Okay, and how so?
- 3:48Speaker 4: Well, you know, the defense. You know, we just we
- 3:52Speaker 4: get kind of ahead of ourselves a little bit and
- 3:54Speaker 4: we forget the fact that they're putting in some new
- 3:56Speaker 4: things on offense. There's new players, there's transition. This thing
- 4:00Speaker 4: is a process and it takes time. And while they're
- 4:02Speaker 4: not as good as I thought they were when the
- 4:04Speaker 4: season started, I still think they can get there. And
- 4:07Speaker 4: I think we need to be patient with this coaching staff.
- 4:09Speaker 4: I think we need to be patient with this team
- 4:11Speaker 4: because I am seeing improvement and I'm seeing improvement on
- 4:14Speaker 4: the offense, and I think when we played the Eagles
- 4:18Speaker 4: December tenth, that's going to be for first place. I
- 4:20Speaker 4: really do. But with all of that said, and this
- 4:23Speaker 4: is the craziness of being a Cowboy fan. When I
- 4:28Speaker 4: look at the line for this week's game and Dallas
- 4:30Speaker 4: is a sixteen plus point favorite. That scares the heck
- 4:32Speaker 4: out of me.
- 4:33Speaker 2: It scares you to win the game, or it scares
- 4:36Speaker 2: you to cover, or I have seen in.
- 4:39Speaker 4: My life as a Cowboys fan, I have seen them
- 4:42Speaker 4: completely go flat in games they should they should win
- 4:45Speaker 4: this game fifty to nothing, and that just scares me
- 4:48Speaker 4: to death. So what are your thoughts about the next
- 4:50Speaker 4: four weeks?
- 4:52Speaker 2: Well, and then before I let you go, I only
- 4:56Speaker 2: can think of Akman. I just I don't unless there
- 4:59Speaker 2: was somebody in the sixties, Craig Morton or somebody Wharton.
- 5:03Speaker 4: It was Craig Morton. Craig Morton was the only other
- 5:05Speaker 4: time they spent a first round pick on a quarterback
- 5:08Speaker 4: in nineteen sixty five.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Sixty five, okay, and I thought you were gonna maybe
- 5:12Speaker 2: throw out the Steve Walsh because he was a first
- 5:14Speaker 2: round pick, and you know, from a supplemental draft which
- 5:17Speaker 2: ended up losing the first rounder, so they lost the
- 5:20Speaker 2: first round pick.
- 5:21Speaker 5: Yeah, I grew technically correct.
- 5:23Speaker 4: He's been a first round took on Washington the supplemental Yeah.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Yeah, so well eightman kind of walls with an asterisk.
- 5:29Speaker 4: But Craig Morton, Yeah, Craig, remember old Craig Morton. He
- 5:34Speaker 4: took two teams to the Super Bowl, to Wallace to
- 5:36Speaker 4: their first one. Let's not forget about old Craig all
- 5:39Speaker 4: my time, but let's remember those legends that got us
- 5:41Speaker 4: to will red Well.
- 5:42Speaker 2: And also he's one of those guys too, like like
- 5:45Speaker 2: herschel Walker. He was one of those guys that was
- 5:48Speaker 2: good enough to trade for some value. And they traded,
- 5:51Speaker 2: I believe in seventy five to get Randy White, So.
- 5:54Speaker 6: Yes, we did.
- 5:55Speaker 4: They were able to take ten years out of him, Yeah,
- 5:58Speaker 4: got a Super Bowl out of him, and then flipped
- 6:00Speaker 4: team for a number one pick and got a first
- 6:01Speaker 4: ballot Hall of Fame and he pushed general managing right there.
- 6:05Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah, a little different back in the day.
- 6:08Speaker 2: They used to fleece teams all the time for their
- 6:10Speaker 2: draft picks. I don't think everybody in the league valued
- 6:13Speaker 2: draft picks the way the Cowboys did. So they were
- 6:16Speaker 2: getting you know, it was weird how they were always
- 6:18Speaker 2: they got too tall Jones, they got Tony Dorsaid, they
- 6:20Speaker 2: got Randy White. I mean they were in the top
- 6:22Speaker 2: five in the seventies like three times, and they were
- 6:25Speaker 2: making the playoffs every year. I mean a little different
- 6:27Speaker 2: than it was.
- 6:28Speaker 4: No real quick story on that for fans that may
- 6:31Speaker 4: not be aware of the history. The Cowboys in nineteen
- 6:34Speaker 4: seventy three traded Billy Parks and Tony Smith, and that
- 6:38Speaker 4: was the starting wide receiver from the year before and
- 6:40Speaker 4: their first round pick from two years before. They traded
- 6:43Speaker 4: those two players to the Houston Oilers in exchange for
- 6:46Speaker 4: a first and a third round pick in the seventy
- 6:49Speaker 4: four draft, and they used those two picks to draft
- 6:51Speaker 4: Danny White and had two tall Jones. I mean, so
- 6:54Speaker 4: the Cowboys were way ahead of the game back in
- 6:57Speaker 4: the seventies as far as.
- 7:00Speaker 7: Good at that.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Today they're still good at drafting and developing players. Where
- 7:03Speaker 4: they're not good is second contracts and things.
- 7:07Speaker 6: Of that nature.
- 7:07Speaker 4: But yeah, Boys were just way ahead of the game
- 7:10Speaker 4: back then.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Definitely, all right, thanks for the call. You talked a
- 7:15Speaker 2: little bit about the next four weeks. I've said it,
- 7:17Speaker 2: let's said it yesterday, I said today, and the Cowboys
- 7:20Speaker 2: will be favored for these games that they should be
- 7:22Speaker 2: able to win. But at the same time, I think
- 7:26Speaker 2: I would do every single game, every single day. I
- 7:29Speaker 2: would just put a play from the Cardinals game, just
- 7:31Speaker 2: throw it out there, Cardinals game, and this just goes
- 7:34Speaker 2: to show that, yes, you can be better than this
- 7:37Speaker 2: other team, but if you're not prepared to go and
- 7:40Speaker 2: win the game, anybody can beat anybody. But the Giants
- 7:43Speaker 2: they're they're a mess right now. And if the Cowboys
- 7:45Speaker 2: go out and just do anything close to taking care
- 7:49Speaker 2: of business, it should be an easy game. But they've
- 7:51Speaker 2: got to do it. And it starts here on Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Gotta be prepared. If you're prepared, it should go out
- 7:57Speaker 2: and they should win this game. All right, Dylan and Northport,
- 8:00Speaker 2: Florida your next, Dylan? What's up?
- 8:03Speaker 3: And then how's it going? Man?
- 8:04Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you murder?
- 8:07Speaker 8: Hey?
- 8:07Speaker 9: Hey?
- 8:07Speaker 3: I want to address Rob from yesterday the call was something.
- 8:11Speaker 3: But before I do that, is there somewhere like that
- 8:16Speaker 3: as we as callers and listeners can go to to
- 8:18Speaker 3: chat with each other. So we just use your guys
- 8:20Speaker 3: as Twitter page there the DC storyline.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Or go for it and tell people to follow it.
- 8:24Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sitting at like seven hundred followers. Let's go.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Let's get that up.
- 8:28Speaker 3: But yeah, but you know they're going yesterday. Yeah, I mean,
- 8:32Speaker 3: you know I tried calling back in and I'm like,
- 8:35Speaker 3: you know, I gotta talk to somebody about this because
- 8:36Speaker 3: it's driving me crazy. And yeah, that's where I landed.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Well, the chat rooms can be dangerous. We've we've done it.
- 8:42Speaker 2: We've we've had that in the past, and it didn't
- 8:45Speaker 2: always work out. It wasn't always a football conversation. So
- 8:49Speaker 2: you can get kind of dicey when it comes to that.
- 8:52Speaker 2: But but yeah, we don't really we don't really have
- 8:54Speaker 2: that the message boards and stuff like that. But yeah,
- 8:59Speaker 2: just feel free to us the storyline, Twitter page, go
- 9:02Speaker 2: go for it there. But yeah, I mean, and the
- 9:05Speaker 2: thing is is that that, no, I love. I love
- 9:09Speaker 2: when Rob calls, I really do. I love because because
- 9:11Speaker 2: he's got a different perspective than some people do, which
- 9:14Speaker 2: is fine, and you know, and I think he looks
- 9:18Speaker 2: at it differently, like this was their chance to go
- 9:21Speaker 2: do something and they let it slip away and it
- 9:23Speaker 2: won't happen again. And I just disagree. I think it
- 9:25Speaker 2: can happen again.
- 9:27Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean exactly, And you know, Rob's a
- 9:31Speaker 3: he's a Cowboys Show Hall of Fame rhyme. But he's
- 9:33Speaker 3: what ten years I don't know how long he's been
- 9:35Speaker 3: calling in, but it seems like forever, you know, for
- 9:36Speaker 3: all the shows. So you know, much respect to him,
- 9:39Speaker 3: but there's a lot of reasons to be excited about Dallas.
- 9:41Speaker 3: I'm just going to go through a couple of him here,
- 9:43Speaker 3: real quick. Talk him off of a ledge. I don't know,
- 9:45Speaker 3: but you know since the Niners game Seedy Lamb one
- 9:48Speaker 3: hundred and seventeen yards, one hundred and fifty eight yards
- 9:50Speaker 3: on hundred and ninety one yards, he's got the highest
- 9:52Speaker 3: cuts percentage of any of the top ten receivers in
- 9:54Speaker 3: the league throughout the whole year. His performance is not
- 9:57Speaker 3: a fluke. I know you mentioned the fluke yesterday.
- 9:59Speaker 7: Not a fluke.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Brandon Aubrey is the most dependable kicker right now in football,
- 10:02Speaker 3: maybe next to Justin Tucker. He's nineteenth nineteen in the season.
- 10:05Speaker 3: One missed extra point on his first That was a fluke,
- 10:08Speaker 3: the miss Pat He's not a fluke. Turpin makes game
- 10:12Speaker 3: changing plays every single game in the return game, kick returns,
- 10:15Speaker 3: parming returns. Now he's geting involved in the offense.
- 10:17Speaker 7: Not a fluke.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Dak Prescott last three weeks throwing eight touchdowns, one interception
- 10:22Speaker 3: on tipball, passer rating hasn't z below one O nine,
- 10:25Speaker 3: and Dave's Holman the legend, the absolute legend, has pointed
- 10:28Speaker 3: out yesterday on third down. This season, all season long,
- 10:32Speaker 3: Dacks completed seventy five and a half percent of his
- 10:34Speaker 3: passes averagers nine point seven yards per attempts. Past rating
- 10:38Speaker 3: is one eighteen point seven. That's first in the league
- 10:40Speaker 3: and all three of those categories. Dak's not a fluke.
- 10:43Speaker 3: The Dallas defense is really good, tip for third in
- 10:46Speaker 3: league interceptions first, and defensive touchdowns. They've got Micah, They've
- 10:49Speaker 3: got the riding Star and Bland, two of the top defenders.
- 10:52Speaker 7: In the league.
- 10:52Speaker 3: They have a top five passing defense, they're just outside
- 10:56Speaker 3: the top ten and rushing defense to rank to eleven.
- 10:58Speaker 3: If you told me before the seat and started they'd
- 11:01Speaker 3: had a top five pass defense and nearly a top
- 11:04Speaker 3: ten rush defense. They were ranked twenty second last year
- 11:07Speaker 3: in rush defense. I'm taking that absolutely all day. Which
- 11:10Speaker 3: the rush defense was kind of surprising because I didn't
- 11:12Speaker 3: think they're as good as they are in the rush defense,
- 11:14Speaker 3: but the numbers indicate they are. And then the last
- 11:16Speaker 3: thing you know, when you look at the schedule, the
- 11:18Speaker 3: next four games for the Cowboys super winnable games and
- 11:21Speaker 3: they go play the Eagles. So if they end up
- 11:22Speaker 3: winning the next four games, the Eagles got to go
- 11:25Speaker 3: play after this. By week the Chiefs, the Bills of
- 11:26Speaker 3: forty nine ers. They're losing one of those games. I
- 11:28Speaker 3: bet my house on it. That has a grueling schedule.
- 11:31Speaker 3: And then after that they got to come to Dallas
- 11:33Speaker 3: and play the Cowboys. I don't like their chances there.
- 11:36Speaker 3: And you said le yesterday that the Cowboys then win
- 11:39Speaker 3: the next five straight, including the Eagles game, and I
- 11:41Speaker 3: agree with you. So my dude, Rob, take a zan x,
- 11:44Speaker 3: enjoy the roller coaster eyes. And as Ambar always says, man,
- 11:48Speaker 3: let's freaking go.
- 11:50Speaker 2: All right, good stuff. Thanksging a lot of positive things,
- 11:55Speaker 2: a lot of things to be positive about. But let
- 11:58Speaker 2: me just say this from you know, just playing from
- 12:02Speaker 2: the other side of the coin. All of those stats,
- 12:05Speaker 2: all the rankings, and all the players they have, the
- 12:07Speaker 2: guys that are doing this and this and then and
- 12:10Speaker 2: then going in the next five games, the schedule and
- 12:13Speaker 2: all that. I think, I think from the skeptical point
- 12:16Speaker 2: of view is does any of the things you said
- 12:19Speaker 2: make me feel better about them playing at San Francisco
- 12:23Speaker 2: or at Philly. All of the things that you know,
- 12:26Speaker 2: the rankings, all these are good stuff, and then these
- 12:29Speaker 2: are things that can get them there. But I think
- 12:32Speaker 2: from if the other side of it other fans, that
- 12:35Speaker 2: that will be more upset because they're like, that's great,
- 12:38Speaker 2: all these numbers are great, but they're not letting us
- 12:41Speaker 2: beat these games. Can we win those games? And that's
- 12:45Speaker 2: why it makes it kind of tough for this job,
- 12:48Speaker 2: because when you're sitting here and you're like, they want
- 12:50Speaker 2: to talk about the Giants game and focus on that
- 12:52Speaker 2: kind of stuff, and then but then it's like, well, well,
- 12:55Speaker 2: how do we win in the playoffs and all this stuff?
- 12:57Speaker 2: How do they get there? Yeah, that great win, good job,
- 13:00Speaker 2: but ken they win in the playoffs and so that's
- 13:03Speaker 2: that's you can't get there until you get there. But
- 13:06Speaker 2: you know, that's that's what makes it fun. It's frustrating
- 13:08Speaker 2: at the same time because Dylan, you've laid out a
- 13:10Speaker 2: bunch of points and a lot of reasons of why
- 13:12Speaker 2: the Cowboys should be able to put themselves in that
- 13:15Speaker 2: great position, but you're talking to fans that only care
- 13:18Speaker 2: about that position, and when they get there, they don't
- 13:22Speaker 2: really care about the journey that it takes to get
- 13:24Speaker 2: to Disney World. That just want to be on Epcot,
- 13:27Speaker 2: they just want to ride the rights. But it's gonna
- 13:29Speaker 2: take a lot of driving, a lot of you know, hotels,
- 13:31Speaker 2: all these things. You got to get there. And that's
- 13:34Speaker 2: where the cowboys are. They got to. The journey is
- 13:36Speaker 2: still going here. All right, Let's go to a text
- 13:38Speaker 2: question here from Jack and Pennsylvania. This week could be
- 13:42Speaker 2: a way to really tighten some things up against a
- 13:44Speaker 2: weaker opponent. What are some things you would like to
- 13:47Speaker 2: see the team focus on being better at this game.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I bet people can say this with me and Unison here.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Run the football, Run the ball. That's what they need
- 14:00Speaker 2: to do. That's what I'd like to see them do.
- 14:02Speaker 2: I'd like to see them run the ball. I want
- 14:03Speaker 2: to see Tony Pollard get in there, get you know,
- 14:06Speaker 2: make some plays, a little bit of balance. How about
- 14:09Speaker 2: get inside that ten yard line and run the ball
- 14:11Speaker 2: in the only time that's really happened this year, it's
- 14:14Speaker 2: been against the Giants, and they've traded away Leonard Williams
- 14:17Speaker 2: since then. But you know, they did have a couple
- 14:20Speaker 2: of rushing touchdowns to Pollard. I looked this up yesterday.
- 14:22Speaker 2: I didn't realize Pollard had not scored a rushing touchdown
- 14:24Speaker 2: since then, since that since that game he scored two
- 14:27Speaker 2: against the Giants. Your fantasy owners are like, yes, I
- 14:30Speaker 2: got Tony Pollard, That's what I thought, And they hadn't
- 14:32Speaker 2: scored a touchdown rushing touchdown since then. All Right, Curtis
- 14:37Speaker 2: in Oklahoma is next. Curtis, Good morning, Good morning. How
- 14:40Speaker 2: are you doing?
- 14:41Speaker 10: Excellent?
- 14:42Speaker 9: Nick?
- 14:42Speaker 2: How are you great?
- 14:44Speaker 10: Awesome? Yeah, I'm glad that you talked about the journey.
- 14:48Speaker 10: I really think that if we can stay healthy, especially
- 14:52Speaker 10: at certain positions, you know, we're definitely going to be
- 14:55Speaker 10: battle tested. We'll see all the contenders. So and you know,
- 15:01Speaker 10: I really think that a game like Sunday, where you
- 15:04Speaker 10: had a lot of adversity, you fought your way back,
- 15:07Speaker 10: but it still leaves you hungry, is going to bode
- 15:10Speaker 10: well for our team. One thing that I wanted to
- 15:12Speaker 10: talk about in that game that kind of went to
- 15:16Speaker 10: the point you just mentioned too about the running game
- 15:18Speaker 10: that I didn't hear a lot of people talk about
- 15:21Speaker 10: was going three and out on our first drive and
- 15:23Speaker 10: just running two runs first and second down up the middle.
- 15:27Speaker 9: I would like to.
- 15:28Speaker 10: See them be more creative on that first drive. On
- 15:31Speaker 10: the first and second down. I would still like to
- 15:34Speaker 10: get Rico daddle the ball to start the first couple
- 15:37Speaker 10: of possessions and then bring in Tony Pollard or even
- 15:41Speaker 10: some jet sweeps. And I've also said before too, you know,
- 15:44Speaker 10: give Dak a Reid option or draw them up or
- 15:46Speaker 10: run on that first series to let the defense know
- 15:50Speaker 10: that that's something they could see all day.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and I you know, and thanks for the call, Curtis.
- 15:56Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's good thinking. That's good, you know,
- 15:58Speaker 2: come and trying to come up with some solutions here.
- 16:01Speaker 2: You can kind of take that one of two ways.
- 16:04Speaker 2: You know that that first drive looked kind of bad,
- 16:06Speaker 2: you know, the way they just kind of ran the ball,
- 16:08Speaker 2: and one one, you know, run run, pass punt. You know,
- 16:13Speaker 2: the coaches will argue that that that that helps set
- 16:16Speaker 2: up some other plays, you know. I think I think
- 16:19Speaker 2: it's important to establish to a team that you're going
- 16:22Speaker 2: to run the football and that you're not going to
- 16:24Speaker 2: be scared of them, and whether or not you should be.
- 16:27Speaker 2: I think it's important to do that just just to
- 16:30Speaker 2: get all of your plays in the playbook. All the
- 16:33Speaker 2: play actions, all the waggles, boots, all that stuff, the
- 16:37Speaker 2: r p O. If it's not ever going to be
- 16:39Speaker 2: an option, then you can't do run pass option if
- 16:41Speaker 2: it's never one or the other, you know. So I
- 16:44Speaker 2: do think that that there's a mindset of trying to
- 16:48Speaker 2: see see what we've got, you know, see see if
- 16:51Speaker 2: our guys can do this. I mean all week long,
- 16:53Speaker 2: Tyler Smith, Tyler Biattish, Zach Martin, They're probably like, yeah,
- 16:57Speaker 2: we got this. Run the ball, you know what I mean.
- 16:58Speaker 2: I mean you have to. You have to psych your
- 17:00Speaker 2: stuff up and do that, and you run a couple
- 17:01Speaker 2: of times and you're like, okay, because probably not we're
- 17:04Speaker 2: not going to be doing this all day. Now. As
- 17:06Speaker 2: the game were on, they have they had some success.
- 17:09Speaker 2: You know, Pollard popped a couple of runs. They're not
- 17:11Speaker 2: not a lot, but but some. And I think you
- 17:14Speaker 2: just got to keep people honest and so that's that's
- 17:16Speaker 2: part of it. Yeah, But first first drive of the game,
- 17:19Speaker 2: you know, you want to send a different type of
- 17:22Speaker 2: message where you go and score. So that's I kind
- 17:25Speaker 2: of am more of the approach of let's let's call
- 17:28Speaker 2: the plays that are going to go down here and
- 17:29Speaker 2: and and you think are going to work, and let's go,
- 17:32Speaker 2: you know, let's don't send that message. Let's go send
- 17:33Speaker 2: a message that says seven to nothing. That one would
- 17:36Speaker 2: probably work out better. All right, Ronnie in New Jersey,
- 17:38Speaker 2: Ronnie is what's up?
- 17:40Speaker 6: Hey? Good morning, Nick?
- 17:41Speaker 2: Good morning? How are you?
- 17:43Speaker 6: That's too bad?
- 17:44Speaker 4: Nick?
- 17:44Speaker 6: I gotta tell you, I gotta apologize. I've been calling,
- 17:48Speaker 6: and ever since I called, I always get into my
- 17:50Speaker 6: try to get into my questions so so I can
- 17:52Speaker 6: get out quick. But I wanted to tell you, Matt,
- 17:55Speaker 6: I've been watching this on the Cowboys Break and I
- 17:58Speaker 6: actually enjoyed when you were last week and the week
- 18:01Speaker 6: before hanging with the boys. That seemed like that environment
- 18:04Speaker 6: that was pretty it was fun.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I enjoy that show. I enjoyed that, especially on
- 18:11Speaker 2: Friday when they're really just kind of cutting loose. They've
- 18:13Speaker 2: said what they're gonna say. They're having fun with me
- 18:16Speaker 2: like that.
- 18:16Speaker 6: Every they're like that?
- 18:17Speaker 2: Is that every day? Yeah?
- 18:18Speaker 6: I mean they're like that every day.
- 18:20Speaker 2: I tell you what they're they're a producer's nightmare because
- 18:23Speaker 2: you've got to keep your hand on the on the
- 18:25Speaker 2: button there to make sure that nothing is said that
- 18:27Speaker 2: you doesn't need to go out there, and oh man,
- 18:31Speaker 2: it's a it's a different mentality. Though I love it.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Though I love it. I've made two Fridays in a
- 18:35Speaker 2: row when Kurt Daniels is out, so I'm gonna be
- 18:38Speaker 2: peeking around and go, Kurt, you're out this week, I
- 18:40Speaker 2: might try to join him again.
- 18:42Speaker 6: Yeah. Man, it's fun watching und shows and all the
- 18:46Speaker 6: other shows. Cowboys, break Players, these guys are just fun.
- 18:51Speaker 6: I love listening to your opinion, Nate Newton and some
- 18:56Speaker 6: of you guys because one of the things that is
- 18:58Speaker 6: that I know you guys are fans. Also, you know
- 19:00Speaker 6: what I'm saying. So I enjoy your honesty because that's
- 19:05Speaker 6: the one that's the reason I keep on calling, because
- 19:07Speaker 6: you're very honest up front. You see the same things
- 19:10Speaker 6: we see. You get upset like we get upset and
- 19:13Speaker 6: all that stuff. So I just wanted to tell you
- 19:15Speaker 6: that I appreciate it. I didn't want to take some
- 19:17Speaker 6: time because I know you got other callers, so I
- 19:19Speaker 6: just want to tell you I appreciate you and and
- 19:21Speaker 6: and most of you guys. Uh. That little guy, uh,
- 19:25Speaker 6: he's got his own show. Every once in a while,
- 19:27Speaker 6: he gets on my nerves because he's such a listen,
- 19:31Speaker 6: we love the Cowboys, but you got to see it
- 19:33Speaker 6: from both both points of views, and and that's what
- 19:36Speaker 6: you do. And some of you other guys Mickey, Mickey,
- 19:40Speaker 6: Nicky could get on your nerves after we want in
- 19:42Speaker 6: a while. That's why MS rob with Mickey because Mickey
- 19:44Speaker 6: was Rob.
- 19:49Speaker 2: That was fun, Yeah, for sure, fun.
- 19:51Speaker 6: That was fun because yeah, our point of view.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Well everybody, That's what I was just calling for.
- 19:58Speaker 6: I enjoyed the show and I some of the time.
- 20:00Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Thanks, thanks, Ronnie. I mean, that's the thing.
- 20:04Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's kind of you know, everybody here has
- 20:07Speaker 2: their own agenda. And I don't mean to say that
- 20:10Speaker 2: in a bad way, that that's not a bad word.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I mean, but but they kind of, you know, they
- 20:14Speaker 2: they're all in different places here that we have a
- 20:16Speaker 2: lot of a lot of voices here on these podcasts,
- 20:20Speaker 2: and you know, some of them work for the team,
- 20:23Speaker 2: some of them do not. And and that can make
- 20:26Speaker 2: it easier or harder to to you know, express your
- 20:29Speaker 2: opinions at times, but in different types of fans. And
- 20:32Speaker 2: then and that you know, fans can relate to different
- 20:34Speaker 2: people you know, they they relate to to to the
- 20:37Speaker 2: ones that are just like you know, it's either black
- 20:40Speaker 2: or white, you know, moral victories, all that kind of stuff.
- 20:42Speaker 2: There's some that are like, you know, just really frustrated fans.
- 20:45Speaker 2: I think some people can relate to two different different
- 20:48Speaker 2: types of people. So and I miss, you know, I
- 20:50Speaker 2: missed the ship. I miss you know, being on the break.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Uh you know, at times, miss being all with different people,
- 20:56Speaker 2: you know, getting a chance to talk to other people.
- 20:57Speaker 2: But that's why I love the callers, because because you know,
- 21:00Speaker 2: I get a chance to talk to you guys, and
- 21:01Speaker 2: so that's that that's kind of makes up for it
- 21:03Speaker 2: as well. But yeah, we have great, great banter every
- 21:06Speaker 2: time I get a chance to go do that. You know,
- 21:08Speaker 2: I like filling in for for somebody and getting here
- 21:11Speaker 2: and mixing it up for sure. All right, next, Yes, yes,
- 21:17Speaker 2: let's do this, Rob from Vegas. I mean, what's up, man,
- 21:23Speaker 2: You're you're I say this, and I say this, and
- 21:28Speaker 2: there's no sarcasm at all. When you call I get excited.
- 21:32Speaker 2: I get excited because I know that you're going to
- 21:34Speaker 2: bring it. You're going to challenge me, and and I
- 21:37Speaker 2: like it. And you're going to bring up perspective that
- 21:39Speaker 2: that not everybody has, but what we need it. So
- 21:42Speaker 2: let's go, what do you got? What do you got?
- 21:44Speaker 5: So listen, I'm a huge coboy fifty six, I've probably
- 21:49Speaker 5: been fifty years. When I look at a game, during
- 21:53Speaker 5: the game, you and I'm sure a lot of people
- 21:56Speaker 5: just you know, like, Okay, this is I always, you know,
- 21:59Speaker 5: it's a big event at the house for three hours.
- 22:03Speaker 5: My wife, everybuddy wetrow a football, and I always will
- 22:06Speaker 5: say this is a big play, and it could be
- 22:07Speaker 5: the first quarter, to be the second quarter, but you
- 22:09Speaker 5: just know that this could change the way the whole
- 22:13Speaker 5: game would go. And that's how I felt about the loss.
- 22:18Speaker 5: So I think that Cowboys could play good and be Philly. Absolutely.
- 22:21Speaker 5: I thought they were going to be Philly infantly, and
- 22:24Speaker 5: I know they could win in down, but I just
- 22:27Speaker 5: it bothered me that we keep hearing about this team this,
- 22:32Speaker 5: and I don't want to see them waste Dak like
- 22:36Speaker 5: they wasted Tony Romo. And I see this, By the
- 22:40Speaker 5: time Tony Romo had a.
- 22:42Speaker 6: Team, a full team, he was beaten.
- 22:44Speaker 5: Down and then Dak came in and now Dak's playing great.
- 22:48Speaker 5: You know me, I criticized Dak, but but they've they
- 22:53Speaker 5: they opened it up and that's playing great. My only
- 22:56Speaker 5: concern is what I kind of said yesterday. He is
- 22:59Speaker 5: seven and sixteen when he throws the ball more than
- 23:02Speaker 5: forty times. So I don't want to see that because
- 23:05Speaker 5: I know usually what the result is and I enjoy
- 23:09Speaker 5: the week by week. But yes, I'm always looking forward
- 23:12Speaker 5: because you know who the top dogs are. You know,
- 23:15Speaker 5: Philly unfortunately, who I despise. And San Francisco you know
- 23:21Speaker 5: you so you you you got totally annihilated by the
- 23:24Speaker 5: ford As. Okay, and I thought, okay, they're gonna they're
- 23:28Speaker 5: gonna make it up. They're gonna they're gonna be Philly,
- 23:30Speaker 5: and they had it. They had it, and they choked
- 23:33Speaker 5: it away. They whatever you want to call it, and
- 23:35Speaker 5: it just it just bothers because I know that's gonna
- 23:38Speaker 5: affect us. Uh, the Arizona game, we all know that's
- 23:41Speaker 5: gonna come back to haunt us. But I love the fans,
- 23:47Speaker 5: I love the answers. I just love it. I love
- 23:50Speaker 5: everybody's point of view. My point of view is I
- 23:54Speaker 5: it's not that I'm negative. I love the team, but
- 23:57Speaker 5: I already know what the good is. We know what
- 23:59Speaker 5: the good is. We need to fix the two glaring
- 24:02Speaker 5: things on this team is unfortunately we cannot run and
- 24:06Speaker 5: we can't stop the run. And unfortunately that never works.
- 24:10Speaker 2: That never works in any league, in any any era
- 24:14Speaker 2: of football. If you can't run, you can't stop the run,
- 24:17Speaker 2: you're not going to win.
- 24:18Speaker 5: We have unless you have Tom Brady or a Patrick
- 24:23Speaker 5: Mahomes or a John Elliet, unless you've got that kind
- 24:26Speaker 5: of quarterback that could make up the difference, which we don't.
- 24:30Speaker 5: I think that's top ten wherever you want to put them.
- 24:33Speaker 5: And that's the only thing I and I just want
- 24:36Speaker 5: this team to say. I know they're going to beat
- 24:38Speaker 5: the Giants unless something catastrophic happens. They own the Giants
- 24:41Speaker 5: and now the Giants are down to the water boy
- 24:43Speaker 5: playing quarterback. So so I'm not worried about those games.
- 24:47Speaker 5: But but it's these big games.
- 24:50Speaker 3: We all know.
- 24:51Speaker 5: I'm not penciling anybody in for the playoffs, but to me,
- 24:55Speaker 5: the playoffs, if we don't get hurt, I assume we're going.
- 24:59Speaker 3: To be there.
- 25:00Speaker 2: I want more, Rob, I get it, I get it.
- 25:02Speaker 2: I got a question for you, what what's the dish
- 25:05Speaker 2: on game day? What do we I mean, we mix
- 25:08Speaker 2: it up on a big game like last week Philly,
- 25:10Speaker 2: what do we eat?
- 25:11Speaker 5: Honestly, honestly, I won't eat. I don't eat unless fair.
- 25:17Speaker 2: I totally get time. I totally get this.
- 25:21Speaker 6: You know, in.
- 25:21Speaker 5: Vegas the games come on like the early morning game
- 25:25Speaker 5: was ten o'clock in the morning. Yeah, okay, so I'll
- 25:26Speaker 5: be I'll be having a cup of coffee and then
- 25:29Speaker 5: I get all jacked up and then yeah, so and
- 25:31Speaker 5: then but most of the games are one thirty in Vegas, okay,
- 25:34Speaker 5: And I won't eat till halftime. And if it's a
- 25:37Speaker 5: night game, I'll you know, I have a couple of beers.
- 25:39Speaker 5: We watch the game, but there's no eating. There's trolling
- 25:42Speaker 5: the football around, a lot of cursing, unfortunately, but there's
- 25:46Speaker 5: no there's no eating.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, the rest of the group, but not
- 25:50Speaker 2: I feel that. Thank you for the call, Rob, appreciate it.
- 25:55Speaker 2: I know you'll be calling back. I'd love to hear
- 25:57Speaker 2: from all right, Brian and Pennsylvania. Brian, how are you
- 26:03Speaker 2: are you dealing with with knuckleheads that you work with?
- 26:06Speaker 2: Deal with live next to I mean, what do we
- 26:08Speaker 2: got here?
- 26:09Speaker 9: Oh? You know, just a lot of smiling and nodding.
- 26:13Speaker 9: So yeah, you know you won. There's really see you
- 26:17Speaker 9: in a month, and we can say see you in
- 26:18Speaker 9: a month, you know, see if it's the same. Good
- 26:20Speaker 9: luck to your quarterback and may his health stay the same. Right,
- 26:25Speaker 9: But uh, I had a question for you. I was
- 26:27Speaker 9: looking back and like all these games that are coming
- 26:30Speaker 9: up that are going to be competitive, but you know,
- 26:32Speaker 9: winnable games. I was looking at every phase, Uh, something
- 26:37Speaker 9: we could do better, or one player at every position
- 26:41Speaker 9: or at every phase and coaching okay, And I wanted
- 26:44Speaker 9: to kind of give it to you and see if
- 26:45Speaker 9: you thought that there'd be a different player they could
- 26:47Speaker 9: like drastically improve the performance of the whole team offense,
- 26:52Speaker 9: Tyler if he stepped up his game like that would
- 26:55Speaker 9: change the whole Look at the run in the past
- 26:57Speaker 9: game defense, it's damone Clark because I think we're kind
- 27:00Speaker 9: of still no one has solidified that Leyden vander ash
- 27:03Speaker 9: like center of the field linebacker position. You know. Yeah
- 27:08Speaker 9: for special teams, I really don't know. Sam Williams is
- 27:11Speaker 9: a gunner, is just a beast. And Cavante Turpin's breaking loose,
- 27:14Speaker 9: so that's fine. Yeah, I guess there should be. I
- 27:18Speaker 9: don't know who else you could say could step up
- 27:20Speaker 9: their game to make that look a little bitter.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I'll say this, and I don't Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Well,
- 27:24Speaker 2: actually I have an answer for you, but go ahead. Yeah.
- 27:29Speaker 9: The coaching aspect I want is for all the talent
- 27:31Speaker 9: we have and all the ways to this offense and
- 27:33Speaker 9: defense is supposed to work. I want whenever a team
- 27:36Speaker 9: shows a weakness, for that unit to exploit that weakness
- 27:40Speaker 9: and make them have to do something, because I've never
- 27:42Speaker 9: seen us do that in the game, where a team
- 27:45Speaker 9: shows us something and we're like, oh, and we just
- 27:47Speaker 9: attack it to death. Like with the Eagles when their
- 27:51Speaker 9: cornerbacks were going down. We should have just been slinging
- 27:54Speaker 9: the ball to whoever. You know. Yeah, because we have playmakers,
- 27:57Speaker 9: and if you have a third or fourth string guy
- 27:59Speaker 9: on CD or gallop even though Gallas has his problems,
- 28:02Speaker 9: I would rather throw the ball up to Michael gallup
- 28:04Speaker 9: on a number five quarterback then, you know, and lose
- 28:08Speaker 9: that way, then these five and six yard passes until
- 28:12Speaker 9: the playmakers get back on the field.
- 28:13Speaker 11: You know.
- 28:14Speaker 9: Well, I'll hang up and I'll get your thoughts on.
- 28:16Speaker 2: It all right, good good stuff. I mean yeah, I
- 28:19Speaker 2: mean Tyler be at center. Yeah, that's that's where it
- 28:23Speaker 2: all starts. And you know, if you wonder why some
- 28:27Speaker 2: teams do the tush push better than others, to me,
- 28:30Speaker 2: it comes down to center. I mean, that's that. Jason
- 28:33Speaker 2: Kelsey is the best center in football. So that that
- 28:35Speaker 2: that's the reason where it starts there with with the Eagles.
- 28:41Speaker 2: You know, I think he's he's really good at that.
- 28:43Speaker 2: I don't know how intimidating he is when he's screaming
- 28:45Speaker 2: at Demoon Clark to a face mask, but I think
- 28:48Speaker 2: as a center and as a as a league guy,
- 28:50Speaker 2: he's really good. And I think be oddish. You know,
- 28:53Speaker 2: that's where it kind of starts. He's played well. But
- 28:55Speaker 2: but yeah, if he was if he was better, if
- 28:57Speaker 2: that interior line was better, they could kind of move
- 29:00Speaker 2: the ball in the red zone. That that kind of
- 29:02Speaker 2: affects that. The Moone Clark, he's leading the team in tackles,
- 29:05Speaker 2: he just just wouldn't know it. I mean, like nothing
- 29:09Speaker 2: against him. There's just not a lot of wild plays.
- 29:12Speaker 2: He's making plays, he's making tackles. But you know, you'd
- 29:15Speaker 2: like to see a little bit more out of him.
- 29:17Speaker 2: I don't know if that would be my guy there.
- 29:21Speaker 2: I mean, I think Gilmour and Bland have played well,
- 29:23Speaker 2: but you need them to play even better. But I'll
- 29:25Speaker 2: say this, the safeties aren't doing anything for me. Like
- 29:29Speaker 2: I just don't see anything happening out of Curse and
- 29:33Speaker 2: Hooker and Donald Wilson. I mean, it's not really a
- 29:38Speaker 2: three headed monster right now. I mean, that's not They're
- 29:41Speaker 2: not making those type of Wold plays. So that would
- 29:44Speaker 2: be one for me special teams, whoever it is, And
- 29:48Speaker 2: I know it's been Ni Sean Wright at times. Whoever,
- 29:50Speaker 2: I mean, I know a couple of times. But don't
- 29:53Speaker 2: hold on a punt. Don't hold we I mean, as
- 29:56Speaker 2: great as it would be for Turpin to make a
- 29:58Speaker 2: big play, it's worse when he when he catches the
- 30:00Speaker 2: ball to twenty and you've had a holding penalty when
- 30:04Speaker 2: the kick was in the air and now the ball's
- 30:05Speaker 2: back at the ten. You don't need to do that.
- 30:08Speaker 2: You certainly don't need to have a hands to the
- 30:11Speaker 2: face penalty like for Shan Evans had on a kickoff.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Aubrey leads the league in touchbacks, it's gonna probably be
- 30:18Speaker 2: a touchback. There's no reason to be punching anyone to
- 30:21Speaker 2: getting a helmet and hands the face penalty. That's ridiculous there. Coaching.
- 30:27Speaker 2: They all need to be better there. I mean, I
- 30:29Speaker 2: mean like that's you're not just gonna pick one thing
- 30:32Speaker 2: and they all they all could be a little bit better.
- 30:33Speaker 2: So I would want to go with one. Let me
- 30:35Speaker 2: go one more caller before we go to break. This
- 30:37Speaker 2: is chain in North Carolina? Is that right chain?
- 30:41Speaker 4: Yes, Sir Shane, yes, sair.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Oh Shane, Okay, come on beam Shane.
- 30:45Speaker 6: Yeah, man man.
- 30:48Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, not much.
- 30:49Speaker 5: I've seen you guys risk before. The most random Cowboys
- 30:52Speaker 5: player of all time.

- 30:55Speaker 2: after the break, but yeah, give us a start. Who's yours?
- 30:59Speaker 8: Mike Quinn quarterback.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Mike Quinn quarterback.
- 31:04Speaker 4: From ninety nine to ninety eight.
- 31:06Speaker 8: I think he played three game four US in ninety eight.
- 31:09Speaker 2: What college Steven Fols, Boom Lumberjacks. There you go, Mike Quinn.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Is a good answer, because if you're ever going having
- 31:16Speaker 2: to go through the alphabet, do we have a player
- 31:18Speaker 2: with the A, B C, what about you? Mike Quinn?
- 31:22Speaker 2: Definitely that's right, that's right, good one. Then you got
- 31:27Speaker 2: any other question or comment.
- 31:29Speaker 4: I just want to say, how about them Cowboys?

- 31:48Speaker 2: That's the show. This is the show that that we created,
- 31:52Speaker 2: and it can't get much better than that. I'm gonna
- 31:54Speaker 2: go to break right now. You think I'm joking, but
- 31:56Speaker 2: I'm not. Will people call just to say that or
- 31:58Speaker 2: that yesterday just to that they lost because of the
- 32:00Speaker 2: daylight savings because they needed an extra hour, which, by
- 32:03Speaker 2: the way, if you really think about it, we did
- 32:05Speaker 2: get an extra hour. So without that hour, they lose
- 32:07Speaker 2: twenty eight to seventeen, so that extra hour actually helped.
- 32:09Speaker 2: But whatever, that was fun, fun call. Just like that
- 32:12Speaker 2: one appreciate It'd be right back here on Cowboys storyline.

- 34:23Speaker 2: go here. Cowboys storyline. I got a caller on the line.
- 34:27Speaker 2: We're going to go to that right now. Justin in California.
- 34:32Speaker 8: Hey, Nick, you were on You were on, uh hanging
- 34:37Speaker 8: with a boy. So you said to call in and
- 34:39Speaker 8: he said, you didn't have any callers, but you have
- 34:41Speaker 8: a ton of callers.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Man, trying to call.
- 34:45Speaker 8: I've been trying to call for like a week and
- 34:47Speaker 8: I can never get in.
- 34:49Speaker 10: What do you?
- 34:50Speaker 2: Let's do this?
- 34:51Speaker 7: All right? So I this might be beating a dead horse.
- 34:54Speaker 8: It sounds like sorry I was trying to call. I
- 34:55Speaker 8: don't know what the other callers have said, but this Eagles,
- 34:59Speaker 8: this Eagle loss is just gonna hurt for a very
- 35:02Speaker 8: very long time.
- 35:03Speaker 6: Man.
- 35:03Speaker 8: So we probably play the Eagles again, or the Dolphins
- 35:07Speaker 8: or somebody who you know is showing something. And it's
- 35:10Speaker 8: the same thing every year. It's we win the easy
- 35:14Speaker 8: games and we just happen to lose the hard ones.
- 35:17Speaker 8: And I think Cowboys fans just are aren't going to
- 35:20Speaker 8: be happy, Like if we win next week, we're just
- 35:24Speaker 8: gonna We're just gonna be like, well, all right, who cares?
- 35:27Speaker 8: It doesn't matter, you know. And I fall back to
- 35:31Speaker 8: the point where I'm looking, we're signing more Tavius Bryant,
- 35:36Speaker 8: so we don't have somebody to back up Pollard really
- 35:39Speaker 8: and and you know, we got another back in there,
- 35:42Speaker 8: but that's it.
- 35:43Speaker 3: And I feel like.
- 35:44Speaker 8: If Pollard goes down, we're really going to be, you know,
- 35:48Speaker 8: down the creek a little bit.
- 35:49Speaker 6: And I just don't understand.
- 35:50Speaker 8: Why we didn't try to get Letter and Fortnett or
- 35:53Speaker 8: I didn't even know Melvin Gordon was available. Like, I
- 35:56Speaker 8: just don't understand why we don't address the running when
- 36:00Speaker 8: it's so important to us.
- 36:02Speaker 6: I'll hang up, you know what.
- 36:05Speaker 2: I'm surprised by that as well, that they didn't they
- 36:07Speaker 2: don't have a little bit more backup depth at the position.
- 36:10Speaker 2: I think they feel like they've got two guys that
- 36:12Speaker 2: are almost the same in Rico O. Daddle and Malik Davis,
- 36:15Speaker 2: who's on the practice squad. So you know, Davis has
- 36:18Speaker 2: played in a couple of games, hadn't gotten any carries,
- 36:21Speaker 2: I don't think, or not many, and so you know,
- 36:23Speaker 2: I think that they feel like they've got they've got
- 36:26Speaker 2: that standpoint from a backup, but not really a veteran
- 36:30Speaker 2: guy that they they wanted to get, and I don't
- 36:32Speaker 2: even know who would be out there if it's something
- 36:33Speaker 2: were to happen. But yeah, I mean, that's that's I
- 36:37Speaker 2: don't agree with it. I'll just say that I thought
- 36:40Speaker 2: I've said at the trade deadline, it didn't have to
- 36:43Speaker 2: be the name everyone was talking about, but just somebody
- 36:46Speaker 2: a little bit of depth there. If if you were
- 36:48Speaker 2: to lose a player at running back, and I do,
- 36:51Speaker 2: I do feel like they're thin there. They'd probably thin,
- 36:54Speaker 2: more thin at that position than any other spot. So
- 36:57Speaker 2: I can't give you a good answer because I agree
- 36:59Speaker 2: with you. I agree with you on that one. So yeah,
- 37:02Speaker 2: I mean, and the Eagle loss, you know, it'll stick
- 37:06Speaker 2: with you until until the next game, I mean, or
- 37:08Speaker 2: the next time you you know, next time you get
- 37:10Speaker 2: a win, maybe against a team that you didn't think
- 37:13Speaker 2: you were gonna beat. You know, I say five in
- 37:15Speaker 2: a row. I think they do. I think they will
- 37:17Speaker 2: win five in earth. That doesn't mean it stops at five.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Doesn't mean I'm scared of them going to Buffalo and
- 37:21Speaker 2: beating them. I think Buffalo. I don't like using the
- 37:25Speaker 2: word overrated underrated, because everyone's got their own ratings, you
- 37:30Speaker 2: know what I mean, I do this, I put together
- 37:31Speaker 2: our power ranking thing. I just see all the kind
- 37:34Speaker 2: of rankings. I mean, who what are these people? Know,
- 37:37Speaker 2: you know, if I had to do a ranking, I
- 37:38Speaker 2: don't know what these teams are.
- 37:40Speaker 3: You know.
- 37:40Speaker 2: I look at certain teams and I don't think Seattle's
- 37:43Speaker 2: that good, but they are, I mean, you know, and
- 37:45Speaker 2: then I see them playing Baltimore and I'm like, Okay,
- 37:47Speaker 2: they're not that good. I mean, like, I don't know
- 37:49Speaker 2: who's good. They're all, you know, you can kind of
- 37:51Speaker 2: tell with some records and all that. But you know,
- 37:53Speaker 2: I feel like like Buffalo is supposed to be really good.
- 37:56Speaker 2: But every time I watch them play, I'm not, you know, worried.
- 37:59Speaker 2: I see the Giants throw on the endo the end
- 38:00Speaker 2: zone and to try to win the game against them,
- 38:02Speaker 2: and the Giants are a mess. But but anyways, the
- 38:04Speaker 2: Cowboy's gotta go beat the Giants. And you can say, well,
- 38:07Speaker 2: no one cares if they win. They until they lose
- 38:10Speaker 2: or until they don't play well, and then everyone's gonna care.
- 38:12Speaker 2: But they go and they win this game. Look, they've
- 38:14Speaker 2: beaten some of the others at home. Thirty seven to
- 38:16Speaker 2: ten whatever. You know, it's just gonna be like, oh, well,
- 38:19Speaker 2: we'll see what happens in the playoffs. But anyways, I
- 38:23Speaker 2: did before the show. I tweeted out, I tweeted out
- 38:27Speaker 2: a just give me a random cowboy player of the
- 38:31Speaker 2: game of the day, or just just give me a
- 38:33Speaker 2: random guy. And uh, you guys have thrown some some
- 38:36Speaker 2: random random players out there. So what I'm gonna do
- 38:39Speaker 2: is I'm gonna take I'm take this call here and
- 38:42Speaker 2: then I'm gonna come back and I'm just gonna go
- 38:44Speaker 2: through these random names and I'm the first thing that
- 38:46Speaker 2: pops into my head. That's what I'm gonna say about
- 38:48Speaker 2: this player. So I'm just gonna I've got too many
- 38:51Speaker 2: to even look at here. All right, let's go to
- 38:52Speaker 2: another caller, Sebastian and Savannah Georgia Sebastian, good morning.
- 38:57Speaker 7: Everyone's doing well?
- 38:59Speaker 2: What's up?
- 39:00Speaker 9: I too quick?
- 39:01Speaker 4: Thanks?
- 39:01Speaker 6: Nick.
- 39:02Speaker 7: First, I think in the red zones, wetly five place,
- 39:05Speaker 7: just by five place that we work to perfection.
- 39:08Speaker 2: It sounds like movie remember the Titans, you know, where
- 39:11Speaker 2: you just like only got five plays. Cool?
- 39:13Speaker 7: Yeah, but from the ten from the ten especially two runs,
- 39:17Speaker 7: two passive, one shot one shot that can get a
- 39:20Speaker 7: three to five yard to clip and d the eleven yards.
- 39:23Speaker 5: And then the second thing is there's the.
- 39:25Speaker 7: Thing that lucks, and I think it's more so should
- 39:27Speaker 7: be fortune because look the knows randomization.
- 39:29Speaker 8: That's why we got all get the end of that game.
- 39:31Speaker 7: You get on the flag four two favors are prepared?
- 39:34Speaker 7: Are we preparing well enough to take the rest out
- 39:37Speaker 7: of the game.
- 39:37Speaker 2: And win these close games against.
- 39:40Speaker 7: These great opponents, because right now we see like a
- 39:43Speaker 7: very good team.
- 39:44Speaker 9: That's on the precipicem going to that next club, but
- 39:47Speaker 9: we haven't hit there yet.
- 39:48Speaker 4: Ain't gonna look at you.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Guys, have a great day, all right. This is not
- 39:53Speaker 2: the first call from Sebastian. He's called many times and uh,
- 39:57Speaker 2: but it's the first call I can remember where you
- 39:59Speaker 2: had like a speed talker like you might be that
- 40:01Speaker 2: guy at the end of the commercials, you know where
- 40:03Speaker 2: they just like tax like, man, I didn't understand half
- 40:07Speaker 2: of the things that you said. I'm sorry, luck. I
- 40:11Speaker 2: think you said that need some luck to be fortunate. Yeah,
- 40:15Speaker 2: they were not. I mean the Cowboys did not get that.
- 40:17Speaker 2: I mean, and you have to you have to get
- 40:20Speaker 2: some of that but when you just think about the
- 40:23Speaker 2: fumbles that the Eagles had, I mean they had three
- 40:26Speaker 2: fumbles that that it looked like it was going to
- 40:30Speaker 2: go the other way. And you know, the Cowboys, I mean,
- 40:34Speaker 2: the Eagles scored every single time after they got the
- 40:36Speaker 2: ball there. But you know, it just it's just one
- 40:40Speaker 2: of those things. It just the ball didn't bounce their way.
- 40:43Speaker 2: And you could tell in the forty nine Ers game
- 40:45Speaker 2: back three weeks ago when that fumble, that ball just
- 40:47Speaker 2: stayed in bounds when Tony Pollard fumbled it, I'm like
- 40:51Speaker 2: houses ball staying bounced, but it did, and it led
- 40:53Speaker 2: to points for San Francisco, and of course they they
- 40:57Speaker 2: blew them out, so it wasn't like it was just
- 40:58Speaker 2: one play. But you can kind of tell some time
- 41:00Speaker 2: early on in the game of how things are going
- 41:03Speaker 2: to be, and that one certainly wasn't one of them there.
- 41:06Speaker 2: But but yeah, I mean a lot of things have
- 41:07Speaker 2: to go right and and you know, the ball has
- 41:10Speaker 2: to has to bounce their way and and and I'll
- 41:12Speaker 2: say this, sometimes you forget, you know, when you win
- 41:15Speaker 2: a game, you kind of forget the plays that that
- 41:18Speaker 2: was lucky. You know, I'm glad we got that. I
- 41:20Speaker 2: mean sometimes you do, but you know, not everyone harps
- 41:23Speaker 2: on it as much. I mean, I know the game
- 41:25Speaker 2: against against the Rams back in you know, two weeks ago,
- 41:29Speaker 2: where you know, there was a penalty early in the game,
- 41:33Speaker 2: there was two sacks in the first drive, and like
- 41:35Speaker 2: what's going on here? Then there was like an illegal
- 41:37Speaker 2: contact penalty across the middle. Cowboys get a first down,
- 41:40Speaker 2: they go, they drive, they score a touchdown, and then
- 41:42Speaker 2: they end up kind of blowing them out, you know,
- 41:44Speaker 2: so or plays early in the game that you remember
- 41:47Speaker 2: them more if you lose. When you win, you kind
- 41:49Speaker 2: of like, oh, well that was expected, or about time
- 41:51Speaker 2: we got to break, you know that kind of stuff.
- 41:53Speaker 2: All right. So I said earlier that with some random
- 41:56Speaker 2: Cowboy players of the day, and and there's been there's
- 42:00Speaker 2: like two hundred responses here. I can't get to all
- 42:01Speaker 2: of them. It's just going to go down the list.
- 42:03Speaker 2: The first one I see is Woody Danceler. I mean, awesome,
- 42:06Speaker 2: greatest play in the history of the NFL, in my opinion,
- 42:09Speaker 2: at least from the Cowboys, his kickoff return against the Niners.
- 42:12Speaker 2: I believe in two thousand and two has everything you want,
- 42:16Speaker 2: has speed, has power, has a tight rope in the sideline,
- 42:19Speaker 2: has a stiff arm. It was awesome, absolutely great. Patrick
- 42:24Speaker 2: Creighton love Patrick Crayton. I love the fact that my
- 42:28Speaker 2: favorite moment from Patrick Crayton. I know you guys have
- 42:31Speaker 2: a moment that you don't necessarily like, but my moment
- 42:33Speaker 2: for Patrick Crayton was when Atlanta two thousand and nine,
- 42:36Speaker 2: where he was basically demoted in two positions wide receiver
- 42:39Speaker 2: and punt returner in the same week. Lost his drop
- 42:42Speaker 2: in the same week to both positions, and he was
- 42:45Speaker 2: not happy about it. But he comes back in that
- 42:48Speaker 2: game scores a touchdown as a receiver and a punt
- 42:51Speaker 2: returner because the punt returner they brought in got hurt
- 42:54Speaker 2: Alan Ross and got hurt, and Creighton comes in scores
- 42:57Speaker 2: a touchdown in both those says, well, I'll show you Jack,
- 43:00Speaker 2: that's right. He played. I don't have a whole lot
- 43:03Speaker 2: on him. Robert Newhouse, Marco River. I do have a
- 43:06Speaker 2: story on Jack del Rio. It's not a good story.
- 43:08Speaker 2: I'm not gonna name names. We had a guy that
- 43:10Speaker 2: worked here one time and he was supposed to get
- 43:12Speaker 2: a story. He was supposed to give us a photo.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Find a photo of Leroy Jordan. Something happened where Leroy Jordan.
- 43:19Speaker 2: We had to get a story on Leroy Jordan. He
- 43:20Speaker 2: goes and searches for Leroy Jordan and he pulls out
- 43:24Speaker 2: here it is. It's a good photo. It's's in color.
- 43:25Speaker 2: I'm like, really, okay, cool, we run it. It's Jack
- 43:28Speaker 2: del Rio number fifty five. It got labeled wrong and
- 43:31Speaker 2: the Associated press. But this guy was like, looks good,
- 43:33Speaker 2: looks looks like h Leroy Jordan. Where's the EyeBlack? Color?
- 43:37Speaker 2: A good photo? Like, yeah, that's Jack do Rio. Good job,
- 43:39Speaker 2: it's wrong driveway, good job. Robert Newhouse one of my
- 43:42Speaker 2: favorite players of all time. Absolutely love and respect him.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Rest in peace to the House. He was the best
- 43:50Speaker 2: I knew him after he played, but absolutely loved. One
- 43:52Speaker 2: thing I love about Robert Newhouse. And I realized, I'm
- 43:55Speaker 2: not going to get the two hundred names here, but
- 43:56Speaker 2: one thing I love about Robert Newhouse and in his
- 43:59Speaker 2: thirteenth season him as a fullback running down on kickoffs,
- 44:03Speaker 2: causing a fumble, making plays. He did that in a
- 44:06Speaker 2: game against the Giants one time. But you just got
- 44:09Speaker 2: to think about as a fullback thirteen years into your career,
- 44:12Speaker 2: and you're still running down on kickoffs making plays. Love him.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Marco Rivera, Gary Hogeboom, Terrence Copper, Rocket is smile. I
- 44:20Speaker 2: loved Rocket, especially when he was at Notre Dame. He
- 44:23Speaker 2: was one of my favorite players. When they got him,
- 44:25Speaker 2: you know, of course he scores a touchdown in the
- 44:27Speaker 2: first game I had nineteen niney nine, unbelievable. Keith Davis.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Keith Davis just yes, I mean yes, everything about Keith Davis.
- 44:38Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say too much. We might be working
- 44:40Speaker 2: on a documentary on Keith Davis, which would be pretty awesome.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Phil pos Derek, I only know one game. That was
- 44:47Speaker 2: the Giants game where they got like four first downs
- 44:49Speaker 2: in a row and they were all called back for
- 44:52Speaker 2: holding seventy five and he just couldn't block Lawrence Taylor.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Got the nerve of philipos Derek, who just couldn't block
- 44:58Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor. We's wrong them. Anthony Spencer. For about four years,
- 45:02Speaker 2: we called him almost Anthony because he just he almost
- 45:05Speaker 2: made a lot of plays and until it kind of
- 45:07Speaker 2: hit and then he finally did made some huge plays.
- 45:09Speaker 2: Ken Norton Junior. Probably my favorite play of Super Bowl
- 45:13Speaker 2: twenty seven when he stops the running back at the
- 45:16Speaker 2: line of scrimmage there his his hand right in his
- 45:18Speaker 2: face mask knocks him out. I mean, you know, and
- 45:22Speaker 2: the announcer says that ko for Ken Norton, that was
- 45:24Speaker 2: just one of those plays of like, we're better than you.
- 45:27Speaker 2: And if you didn't know it in the first quarter
- 45:29Speaker 2: and a half, here it is, we're better than you.
- 45:32Speaker 2: You're not going to come back. We're going to beat you,
- 45:34Speaker 2: and we'll probably beat you again next year as well.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Keith Brooking, Roy Williams, the receiver. One thing about Roy
- 45:41Speaker 2: Williams I'll never forget is interviewing him and his locker
- 45:43Speaker 2: and he had maple syrup in the back. Those people have,
- 45:46Speaker 2: you know, in their locker, the vitamins, keys, phone, while
- 45:48Speaker 2: and all that, he had maple syrup. Like he said
- 45:50Speaker 2: that the syrup here for the pancakes wasn't good enough,
- 45:54Speaker 2: so he brought his own. Quincy Carter. That's we don't
- 45:58Speaker 2: have all we don't have enough time for Quinn Carter stories.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Kevin Ogletree, same same, Kevin Ogletree thought, great, great moment
- 46:06Speaker 2: there in New York. I know, who can forget that
- 46:09Speaker 2: game where he had two touchdowns against the Giants on
- 46:13Speaker 2: that Wednesday night, the only Wednesday night game the Cowboys
- 46:15Speaker 2: have ever played. He saw his brother who was in
- 46:17Speaker 2: the hospital earlier that day in New Jersey. He got
- 46:21Speaker 2: the chance to see him, said he was going to
- 46:23Speaker 2: go and have a great game for him. Goes out,
- 46:25Speaker 2: has two touchdowns, they win the game. It's hard to
- 46:28Speaker 2: get better than that. Randall Cunningham. Randall Cunningham is the
- 46:33Speaker 2: reason why to this day Stephen Jones calls me niked
- 46:37Speaker 2: Knight because in two thousand he told me that we
- 46:41Speaker 2: might sign Randall Cunningham. Give him a call. This is
- 46:43Speaker 2: Stephen Jones. Give me a call. We might give a
- 46:45Speaker 2: story for you. Ten o'clock. I called him nothing, call
- 46:49Speaker 2: me back win in an hour, so I stayed up.
- 46:53Speaker 2: I called him four in the morning. He calls me
- 46:57Speaker 2: and says, we just signed Randall Cunningham. So we put
- 47:01Speaker 2: the story up and we got it up, and to
- 47:03Speaker 2: this day Nick Knight for Randall Cunningham, who played one year.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Reggie Collier, Wow, good name, Lincoln Coleman, Troy Hambrick, Tom
- 47:14Speaker 2: Rafferty pac Man Jones. I just went right by Troy Hambrick.
- 47:17Speaker 2: You know Troy Hambrick is one of six players in
- 47:20Speaker 2: Cowboys history that have an eighty yard run. Six players
- 47:24Speaker 2: have had eighty yard run in Cowboy's history, or actually,
- 47:27Speaker 2: I'm sorry, five players, and Emmitt Smith's not one of them.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott's not one, but but but Troy Hambrick eighty
- 47:35Speaker 2: yard run in the rain in a blowout loss to
- 47:38Speaker 2: the Eagles. Uh, just ripped off an eighty yard run,
- 47:41Speaker 2: So good for him. Tom Rafferty Pacman Jones, Stepford Williams,
- 47:46Speaker 2: Bernie Cozar, Jamal Showers forever Jamil Showers, yep, Jamal Showers.
- 47:53Speaker 2: I remember what I remember in twenty sixteen offseason where
- 47:57Speaker 2: people were saying, you know, the Showers is a better
- 48:00Speaker 2: quarterback than the guy you drafted, and Prescott Showers is
- 48:04Speaker 2: better than him. Yeah, and he was for like a
- 48:06Speaker 2: practice or two, and the games came on, and you
- 48:09Speaker 2: know whatever, Bill Bates that win, Scott Case, Paul Palmer,
- 48:17Speaker 2: remember we scored their winning touchdown against the Redskins and
- 48:21Speaker 2: the only win in nineteen eighty nine. Both Scarborough. I
- 48:24Speaker 2: don't think he ever played for the guy was drafted
- 48:28Speaker 2: at Alabama, played against them in Detroit. Robert Levett Robert Levette,
- 48:33Speaker 2: number twenty nine, good Returner, Crawford Kerr, Daryl Klack, Paul
- 48:36Speaker 2: Palmer again, new house again, Swerving, Curving, Richards, Extra Cokeley,
- 48:41Speaker 2: Gerald sensibug Or, Golden Richards, Lance Leonora, Tom Rafferty Lauren Robinson,
- 48:46Speaker 2: Chante Carver, Peerless Price, I go all day. This is awesome.
- 48:49Speaker 2: Eric Bjornson, Kevin Ogletree, Al Schramant Singleton, Ike Holt, Kenny,
- 48:55Speaker 2: the Shark, Gant Flows, l Adams, Jacob rod Eddie, George,
- 49:01Speaker 2: Steve Paluer. Let's just end it on Steve Polure. How
- 49:04Speaker 2: about that? You know the calls, Yeah, one more call.
- 49:06Speaker 2: Let's do a call, Tim and Grapevine.
- 49:09Speaker 7: Nick Man, you're getting the waterworks going. I'm just throwing
- 49:12Speaker 7: the montage of players like, there goes my whole life.
- 49:15Speaker 13: They do.
- 49:16Speaker 7: Well, here's one for you. Reggie Swinton. I liked him
- 49:19Speaker 7: growing up, and then I thought Alex Tanney was going
- 49:22Speaker 7: to be able to quarter peck. I thought his YouTube
- 49:25Speaker 7: preak videos with.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Others man we at training camp one year, Tanny, Alex
- 49:30Speaker 2: Tanney and a receiver named Eric Rodgers. We thought that
- 49:34Speaker 2: that was going to be the next Marino to Clayton
- 49:36Speaker 2: like that. That was it those guys, Yeah, that was
- 49:40Speaker 2: the most well, well, the current.
- 49:42Speaker 7: Love affair that I have, I probably shouldn't say that's
- 49:44Speaker 7: kind of weird. But Rico Dowbell, So here's who he
- 49:48Speaker 7: reminds me of. Isaiah Crowell. Runs Angry runs violent.
- 49:53Speaker 3: You know.
- 49:54Speaker 7: They have almost the exact same athletic profile, same heights,
- 49:59Speaker 7: dal two tenths of a second fast year in the
- 50:01Speaker 7: forty and ten yards split. They have the exact same
- 50:04Speaker 7: vertical at thirty eight inches, crowds a little bit heavier,
- 50:08Speaker 7: about like eight pounds ten pounds. But from what I've
- 50:11Speaker 7: seen from Dowdell with this offensive line, I think that's
- 50:15Speaker 7: that's something we should consider doing more to soften up
- 50:19Speaker 7: the defense for Pollard, because it seems like Pollard he's
- 50:22Speaker 7: really good when we have a crease and he can
- 50:24Speaker 7: slash put us foot in the ground cut, you know,
- 50:26Speaker 7: and then he'll really maximize that crease. Well, this year,
- 50:29Speaker 7: we're not really creating the running lanes like last year,
- 50:32Speaker 7: and I think part of that is due to Terrence
- 50:34Speaker 7: still his recovery on the right side. And then for
- 50:38Speaker 7: some reason something's going on with be Oddish. I'm not
- 50:41Speaker 7: sure what it is. I thought last year he finally
- 50:43Speaker 7: turned the corner. It seems like he kind of regress
- 50:45Speaker 7: a little bit then. Of course, Iron Smith's kind of
- 50:47Speaker 7: getting a little bit older. But what are your thoughts
- 50:50Speaker 7: on on Rico Dowdell? Is this just another fan you know,
- 50:54Speaker 7: the fan theory or hope that hey, this might solve
- 50:58Speaker 7: the run game? I mean, is there anything there?
- 51:00Speaker 2: Well, I, you know, I think he's got something there.
- 51:02Speaker 2: Thanks for the call to Tim. I think he's got
- 51:04Speaker 2: something there. I mean, you know, mostly he wouldn't be
- 51:07Speaker 2: in the position you are if you don't have, you know,
- 51:09Speaker 2: the ability to do you know, do the job. And
- 51:12Speaker 2: he's a complete back. He catches the ball well, I
- 51:15Speaker 2: think he blocks well. He does run pretty pretty aggressively.
- 51:18Speaker 2: I don't know about running angry. I don't know if
- 51:20Speaker 2: he's got that level yet, but but he does run,
- 51:23Speaker 2: run hard. And you know, for his size, he's not
- 51:25Speaker 2: a big guy, but he's not a small guy. He's
- 51:27Speaker 2: just he's just he looks like a running back and
- 51:29Speaker 2: and I think he can get the job done. But
- 51:31Speaker 2: there is something always something to be said for those
- 51:33Speaker 2: backup running backs. They just feel like when you get
- 51:35Speaker 2: in the game they got a little extra gear, just
- 51:38Speaker 2: like Pauler did, and it was like, man, he needs
- 51:41Speaker 2: to play more and more. And then now we're seeing
- 51:43Speaker 2: when when they get the lead, lead role, it's not
- 51:46Speaker 2: the same.
- 51:46Speaker 9: Uh.
- 51:47Speaker 2: And and you know we've seen that. We've seen that
- 51:49Speaker 2: happen where the guy comes in and and the one
- 51:53Speaker 2: exception I would say to that was probably DeMarco Murray.
- 51:55Speaker 2: DeMarco Murray was the backup to other guys to Barber
- 51:59Speaker 2: to feel Jones choice, and he was running well, and
- 52:03Speaker 2: you know, and then when he actually got as a
- 52:05Speaker 2: starting job, you know, he he handled it well and
- 52:08Speaker 2: he had broke records, you know. But but I do
- 52:10Speaker 2: think there is something to be said for the backup.
- 52:13Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean they shouldn't be playing a little
- 52:15Speaker 2: bit more because less could be more for Tony Pollard.
- 52:18Speaker 2: So you might be getting more out of Pollard by
- 52:20Speaker 2: giving him less carries giving them more t Ico. So
- 52:23Speaker 2: it might be a two for one situation. All right,
- 52:25Speaker 2: This was This was fun, guys. I appreciate all the
- 52:29Speaker 2: all the texts. I still have all these these names.
