- 0:02Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:03Speaker 2: He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
- 0:05Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Cowboys.
- 0:11Speaker 2: This is Cowboys storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave
- 0:17Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Here's Nick Eatman. What's up everyone? Welcome to Cowboys storyline
- 0:28Speaker 1: presented by Gillette. I am Nick Eatman. It is Wednesday,
- 0:31Speaker 1: September twenty fourth. It's the middle of the week. Cowboys, Packers,
- 0:37Speaker 1: Green Bay come to town. Michael Parsons is coming back. Everyone
- 0:41Speaker 1: knows all the storylines. I wrote a story on the
- 0:44Speaker 1: website yesterday about the ten storylines of the team for
- 0:48Speaker 1: this game. I do it every week with a big picture,
- 0:50Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, there's more than one. It's hard,
- 0:52Speaker 1: it's hard to really think that way. But yeah, there's
- 0:56Speaker 1: a lot of other storylines here with this with this game,
- 0:59Speaker 1: other than just the return of Micah, I think bigger
- 1:04Speaker 1: than that, obviously, is the injury to CD and how
- 1:06Speaker 1: the Cowboys try to keep up with Green Bay, how
- 1:10Speaker 1: they score points, and then also with the offensive line
- 1:14Speaker 1: now with another injury there, Tyler Booker is going to
- 1:18Speaker 1: be out of course with the high ankle spring. Maybe
- 1:21Speaker 1: Duran Bland comes back. Looks like he could. But their cowboy,
- 1:25Speaker 1: we'll see today if he practices and how much he practices,
- 1:29Speaker 1: and then also does he come back on Thursday and
- 1:32Speaker 1: practice again, So that that's going to be the key
- 1:34Speaker 1: is just how he handles these next couple of days.
- 1:38Speaker 1: But certainly we'll be big for the Cowboys to have
- 1:40Speaker 1: dron Bland back in action. And then you know, just
- 1:45Speaker 1: how do they can they can they beat green Bay?
- 1:48Speaker 1: You know here at at and T Stadium, Packers have
- 1:50Speaker 1: never lost at this place, so that it's it's gonna
- 1:53Speaker 1: be a pretty electric atmosphere, There's no doubt about it.
- 1:58Speaker 1: We know that, you know, green Bay will travel well,
- 2:01Speaker 1: the fans will be excited about it. It's it's going
- 2:05Speaker 1: to be intense. The Cowboys are going to have to
- 2:06Speaker 1: match that intensity early and match them, you know, point
- 2:09Speaker 1: for point. And that's not gonna be easy with the
- 2:11Speaker 1: offense of you know, with the injuries that they've got.
- 2:13Speaker 1: But you know, it's a weird league. Things happen, and
- 2:17Speaker 1: let's see if the Cowboys can do it. I want
- 2:19Speaker 1: to hear from you guys. Eight eight eight eight FI
- 2:21Speaker 1: five two two ninety seven. Let's start it off, Dylan said,
- 2:24Speaker 1: Wichita Falls. I've been there, Dylan, what's up?
- 2:27Speaker 4: Hey?
- 2:28Speaker 5: What's going on?
- 2:28Speaker 6: Buddy?
- 2:28Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 2:30Speaker 7: Pretty good?
- 2:30Speaker 6: Man?
- 2:31Speaker 8: Just join some cooler weather finally, so feel.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Pretty good out.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:36Speaker 8: Anyways, today I really wasn't going to dive too much
- 2:40Speaker 8: into this game. I just wanted to give a take
- 2:42Speaker 8: just on the this season and just where the franchise
- 2:45Speaker 8: is at right now. And you know, I think expectations
- 2:48Speaker 8: just need to be lowered at this point, and honestly,
- 2:52Speaker 8: maybe even the same for next year. The way I
- 2:53Speaker 8: look at this team right now is this is year
- 2:55Speaker 8: one of Beck's for your contracts. This is Shoddy's first
- 2:58Speaker 8: year as a head coach. Is Clayton adams first year
- 3:00Speaker 8: is of offensive coordinator at this level, you know, And
- 3:03Speaker 8: we put all these expectations on these guys, and the season.
- 3:07Speaker 8: To me, this year isn't so much about the wins
- 3:08Speaker 8: and losses. It's about the guys that are out there
- 3:11Speaker 8: on the field that are winning their battles, the guys
- 3:13Speaker 8: that we can build off of moving forward. And I
- 3:16Speaker 8: really see this team as having a legit window building
- 3:19Speaker 8: towards the twenty twenty seven and the twenty twenty eight seasons.
- 3:22Speaker 8: And I know people don't want to hear that, but
- 3:24Speaker 8: that's just me trying to be realistic, you know.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Like, yeah, that's fine. I mean, you know, whatever works,
- 3:32Speaker 1: I mean whatever works for every fan about it, because
- 3:35Speaker 1: I get that. Thanks for the call, Dylan. You know,
- 3:38Speaker 1: everybody kind of has to deal with situations like this
- 3:42Speaker 1: in their own way. You know, you can say, well,
- 3:46Speaker 1: you know, I live and die with every single play
- 3:49Speaker 1: and I want them to win every game, and then
- 3:51Speaker 1: that's the exciting cause when they do, then you feel
- 3:54Speaker 1: that rush. And then when you lose, then you know
- 3:56Speaker 1: you're you're frustrated by it. And if you kind of
- 3:59Speaker 1: have that nonchalant attitude to buy, well, you know it is.
- 4:02Speaker 1: It is kind of what it is. You know, that's fine.
- 4:04Speaker 1: That helps you. Whatever helps, you know what this isn't
- 4:07Speaker 1: even this this year doesn't even matter too much at
- 4:10Speaker 1: the window is twenty seven, twenty twenty eight. Good for you.
- 4:14Speaker 1: If that works, great, keep calling the show, keep doing
- 4:17Speaker 1: all this thing that's awesome, because that'll help you there.
- 4:21Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people out there that
- 4:24Speaker 1: don't really want to take that approach. My approach is
- 4:28Speaker 1: it's three games into the season. We've seen some crazy
- 4:32Speaker 1: stuff happen so far. They could have they could be
- 4:35Speaker 1: zero to three, they could be two and one, but
- 4:39Speaker 1: they're one and two. That's kind of you know, you
- 4:40Speaker 1: are what you are, and let's see how this thing
- 4:43Speaker 1: plays out, you know, just looking at the schedule, looking
- 4:45Speaker 1: at things, looking at some of the injuries. Let's see,
- 4:47Speaker 1: let's see what what happens here. I'm not I you know,
- 4:50Speaker 1: I'll talk about Sunday because it's the next game, but
- 4:54Speaker 1: that's probably about it. And so again I say it
- 4:57Speaker 1: all the time. I never ask anyone or tell anybody
- 5:01Speaker 1: how to fan. They do it their own way. That
- 5:04Speaker 1: if that works for Dylan, that's fine. That doesn't really
- 5:06Speaker 1: work for me. And I bet you there's other fans
- 5:07Speaker 1: on here that doesn't work for But it's all good.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Let's go to Irene in Falls Church, Virginia.
- 5:13Speaker 9: Hey, hey, good morning. Let me let me answer that
- 5:15Speaker 9: Dylan thing for a second. So for me, even though
- 5:18Speaker 9: I had low expectations about the season, it does not
- 5:21Speaker 9: help me to think out of the windows two years.
- 5:23Speaker 9: But oh well, it is what it is, because you
- 5:25Speaker 9: still want them sick and peat during during the time period.
- 5:29Speaker 9: So but you know, I wish I could be more
- 5:31Speaker 9: like that anyway. So yesterday I had my own fumble.
- 5:35Speaker 9: I hung up on you guys, but it's all good.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Got in today.
- 5:38Speaker 9: So last Thursday, before the game, on our space, I
- 5:42Speaker 9: was asking, when will we see Schottenheimer step in because
- 5:46Speaker 9: I felt after the Giants game, I'd honestly seen enough.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Of the defense.
- 5:50Speaker 9: He gave it one more game. It looks like he's
- 5:52Speaker 9: going to step in with scheme and personnel. Let's see.
- 5:57Speaker 9: But I've said I wanted more Lea found Houston. I
- 6:00Speaker 9: also want to see what Juanya can do. And then
- 6:03Speaker 9: the last point is I don't want to abandon the
- 6:05Speaker 9: run when it's working. I know that the Booker injury
- 6:09Speaker 9: probably is going to impact that, so we'll see. But philosophically,
- 6:12Speaker 9: if something's working, don't stop doing it.
- 6:14Speaker 10: That's all I got.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Thank you, Iren. You're going to see more running. I
- 6:18Speaker 1: mean you're going to see the running game because I
- 6:21Speaker 1: think that that keeps some balance that helps with their
- 6:23Speaker 1: play action and also in the situation with the defense
- 6:28Speaker 1: the way it is, I mean, we're probably at that
- 6:30Speaker 1: point where you're you're going to have to try to
- 6:32Speaker 1: get you know, control the ball and and and you
- 6:35Speaker 1: would love to have those drives, the drive that Chicago
- 6:38Speaker 1: had and third and the third quarter against the Cowboys
- 6:42Speaker 1: where they tewed up ten minutes and nineteen plays and
- 6:46Speaker 1: it kept getting third downs and then a fourth down.
- 6:49Speaker 1: That's the kind of ball control I think that you're
- 6:52Speaker 1: that you're looking for. And also they did it balanced,
- 6:55Speaker 1: you know, the tight ends, caught passes, receivers caught some
- 6:58Speaker 1: on third down, running backs out of the backfield, on screens,
- 7:01Speaker 1: running back draws, things like that. So that that was
- 7:04Speaker 1: that's kind of what you want. But I think injury
- 7:06Speaker 1: or not to Booker, that's that's the style the Cowboys
- 7:09Speaker 1: kind of have to play. And as for the shot
- 7:11Speaker 1: he's stepping in, I mean, I don't know what he's alright,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and what if he's already done it? You know, what
- 7:16Speaker 1: if he stepped in and week one, you know, and
- 7:19Speaker 1: and I don't know. I mean, we're not supposed to
- 7:22Speaker 1: know that one. So but yeah, he's the head coach
- 7:25Speaker 1: and so this is all falls under on him, so
- 7:27Speaker 1: he's going to have to fix it one way or another.
- 7:31Speaker 1: All right, we went from Wichita Falls to Falls Church.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Let's go to zach in Atlanta Falls.
- 7:36Speaker 10: What's up man, Atlanta, Atlanta Falls. I've always called.
- 7:39Speaker 1: It that, Nick, I bet you have not.
- 7:43Speaker 10: What's up man? Yeah, I'm okay. Sunday was tough. I
- 7:48Speaker 10: actually watched with a Bears fan in Atlanta here and
- 7:53Speaker 10: do as as soon as the Cowboy is often sold
- 8:00Speaker 10: out to start the third second half, I was like,
- 8:05Speaker 10: that's probably game. And then sure enough they went on
- 8:07Speaker 10: the ten minute drive and I was like, I'm telling you, man,
- 8:10Speaker 10: this is this is game, and he didn't believe me,
- 8:13Speaker 10: and then you know, he was hailing Caleb Williams as
- 8:16Speaker 10: the second coming of Roger Staubach.
- 8:19Speaker 11: Whatever.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been there. I'm living here with Tommy rs.
- 8:25Speaker 10: So shout out and taught me. By the way, he's
- 8:28Speaker 10: got a funny photo floating around the internet right now. Anyways. Uh, yeah, Sunday.
- 8:35Speaker 10: I think it's going to be really, really tough, just
- 8:37Speaker 10: for the fan base. For a lot of reasons. We
- 8:39Speaker 10: hate the Packers. They broke us a few years ago
- 8:42Speaker 10: in the playoffs. Mike is over there, all the drama
- 8:46Speaker 10: and so I hope it's competitive. We'll find out. But
- 8:49Speaker 10: this week's double Agents who played for the Star Near
- 8:53Speaker 10: and Far. I'm thinking about my buddy, Randall Cobb. I
- 8:57Speaker 10: always respected him on the Packers. He did. I think
- 9:02Speaker 10: he was serviceable for us later in his career when
- 9:04Speaker 10: he played. So any stories on Randall Cobb without I'll
- 9:07Speaker 10: hang up man.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a story on Randall Cobb. Thanks for
- 9:11Speaker 1: the call. In twenty fourteen, the Cowboys had just lost
- 9:17Speaker 1: to the Packers in the game that des caught it
- 9:21Speaker 1: and after the game, and so then the Cowboys lose,
- 9:25Speaker 1: and then I guess the Packers lost in the NFC
- 9:28Speaker 1: Championship game the next week, and yeah, I lost to Seattle,
- 9:33Speaker 1: I believe. So in the week after that, going to
- 9:36Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, the Cowboys coaches were there. I was.
- 9:38Speaker 1: I was there at the Pro Bowl practices and on
- 9:42Speaker 1: the bus going to one of the practices and Randall
- 9:46Speaker 1: Cobb was behind me and they were sort of talking
- 9:48Speaker 1: about that play and that catch. So you know, here
- 9:51Speaker 1: he is on the other side of it, and he
- 9:54Speaker 1: was talking about it, and he kind of stopped and
- 9:56Speaker 1: he kind of looked around to see who was there,
- 9:58Speaker 1: and he goes, I'm gonna tell you, as a why receiver,
- 10:01Speaker 1: that dude caught it. He caught it. Now, I'm glad
- 10:03Speaker 1: they called it incomplete, and I'm glad we won, but
- 10:07Speaker 1: I don't care that guy caught that pass. And and
- 10:10Speaker 1: if I was, if I was in i'd be pissed.
- 10:12Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I respect that. I respect that.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I mean, he's on the Packers. They won, they went
- 10:17Speaker 1: to they went to the championship game, and he's glad
- 10:19Speaker 1: about that. But also from the position he plays in
- 10:21Speaker 1: the sport he plays. For him to say that, I thought, man,
- 10:24Speaker 1: it's a stand up dude.
- 10:25Speaker 12: I like that.
- 10:25Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Derek and Seattle.
- 10:28Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Nick, Paul's going good.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Yeah, man, how are you good? Good?
- 10:33Speaker 3: Hey?
- 10:33Speaker 4: Rhetorical question to ask first, don't answer it yet, but
- 10:37Speaker 4: think in your mind over the last three years, when
- 10:40Speaker 4: was the last time Malie Cooker or Donovan Wilson ever
- 10:44Speaker 4: broke up a pass? And now we'll proceed. You know,
- 10:48Speaker 4: the safeties for Dallas are been so bad for so long,
- 10:52Speaker 4: and I think that just in my lifetime, the best
- 10:55Speaker 4: defenses ever had were when they had good safeties Woodson
- 10:58Speaker 4: of course, and then you got to go back to
- 11:00Speaker 4: Charlie Waters, Cliff Harris. But Dallas's safeties Hooker and Johnson
- 11:05Speaker 4: or Wilson. I've watched them my whole life, and neither
- 11:10Speaker 4: one of them know how to cover. I've seen it
- 11:13Speaker 4: this year. It's really bad. But so next year in
- 11:17Speaker 4: the draft, I hope Dallas. I know everyone wants lineman
- 11:20Speaker 4: pass rusher. He got a good guy. I've watched these
- 11:23Speaker 4: other teams and man, they glue the receivers. They a
- 11:26Speaker 4: guy comes in their zone, they pass them off, they
- 11:29Speaker 4: run with them. It's beyond Hooker and Wilson's mental ability
- 11:33Speaker 4: to do it. I've seen it too much, so.
- 11:36Speaker 1: I hope.
- 11:38Speaker 13: Year.
- 11:38Speaker 4: Oh yeah, every year, Yeah, I think. I mean, what they.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Weren't bad last year, Yeah, they weren't that bad. So
- 11:45Speaker 1: what's changed is the nothing that's changed on the defense.
- 11:48Speaker 4: I wouldn't say they were bad, but they definitely aren't good.
- 11:51Speaker 4: Just think, have they ever broke up a pass.
- 11:53Speaker 1: And Donovan Wilson at the goal line broke up a
- 11:56Speaker 1: pass far a Ti but.
- 11:57Speaker 4: He was behind the guy at the goal line, he
- 12:00Speaker 4: was in the end zone. The guy dropped it and
- 12:02Speaker 4: then Wilson hit him. But that's what Dallas does. Guys
- 12:05Speaker 4: go in the end zone, Dallas keeps backing up and
- 12:08Speaker 4: they turn around, go up and make a play. I
- 12:11Speaker 4: just oh, they are bad, all right.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Derek, thanks for the call. Yeah, nothing's going to change
- 12:17Speaker 1: your mind on that one, and I'm not trying to.
- 12:18Speaker 1: The safeties have not been good, the corners haven't been good.
- 12:22Speaker 1: But you guys know, I mean, I've done this show
- 12:25Speaker 1: now since since the trade. I've done it several times
- 12:29Speaker 1: and daily here during the week, and I say it
- 12:32Speaker 1: over and over and over. You know where I stand
- 12:34Speaker 1: on where I think the problem is on this team.
- 12:37Speaker 1: So you know, it's probably about that time. I've never
- 12:43Speaker 1: given this title to anyone else, It's only been Romo,
- 12:47Speaker 1: But I think maybe it's time to give the title
- 12:52Speaker 1: of the diaper back to Michael Parsons. He might be
- 12:57Speaker 1: the diaper two point zero. And I used to call
- 13:00Speaker 1: Romo that after he was done because and if you
- 13:03Speaker 1: haven't heard this reference, this is my own, this is
- 13:06Speaker 1: an original, But I think Micah might be the diaper
- 13:10Speaker 1: because when you have the diaper on, it covers up
- 13:13Speaker 1: a lot of the crap, a lot of the smell
- 13:15Speaker 1: that you don't see, that you don't want to see.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Take the diaper off, and now you really see how
- 13:20Speaker 1: bad it is. And maybe that's what's happening. And my
- 13:24Speaker 1: point here is is Digs and Hooker and donm and
- 13:28Speaker 1: Wilson are they changed? Are they? Are they totally different
- 13:31Speaker 1: players now? Or this is kind of what it was
- 13:34Speaker 1: and you didn't notice it so much because you guy
- 13:38Speaker 1: was getting to the quarterback in two seconds now when
- 13:40Speaker 1: it's taking four and five seconds. Now, we're seeing it now,
- 13:43Speaker 1: we're seeing the ball down the field more so. It's early.
- 13:48Speaker 1: But it smells like a diaper two point zero to me.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Steve in New York is next, Steve? Are you there?
- 14:01Speaker 1: I'm sorry? Michael, Okay, Michael, Michael and Bowling Green. Michael
- 14:05Speaker 1: and Bowling Green.
- 14:07Speaker 12: Yeah, the diaper definitely covered your butt. Uh yeah. I
- 14:12Speaker 12: read your article Sunday night after the game, and really
- 14:18Speaker 12: really really really good article. Say anybody to disagree with it.
- 14:24Speaker 12: I'm just wondering, have we have we got to the
- 14:27Speaker 12: point this early in the season where we maybe just
- 14:31Speaker 12: need to pull the ripcord and float down to week seventeen? Uh,
- 14:39Speaker 12: you know, just play others, play, get some experience from
- 14:44Speaker 12: other players. I mean, have we got there yet?
- 14:49Speaker 1: No? No, let's play football. It's been three this has
- 14:53Speaker 1: been three games. Let's okay. No, No, I think if
- 14:58Speaker 1: you did that, it would be I. Yeah, somebody agrees
- 15:01Speaker 1: back there, I think, I know, I don't think so.
- 15:04Speaker 1: All right, all right, Michael, appreciate that I got that
- 15:07Speaker 1: at home. Let's uh, let's go to it. Is it?
- 15:10Speaker 1: Back to Steve Steven New York.
- 15:13Speaker 6: Hey, what's up next?
- 15:14Speaker 1: Thank Steve?
- 15:14Speaker 12: How good?
- 15:16Speaker 6: Good? Just I hadn't spoken after the game Sunday, so
- 15:19Speaker 6: I'd get a quick vent in and then I'll hit
- 15:21Speaker 6: you with my trivia. I didn't have a good feeling
- 15:24Speaker 6: going through the game. You didn't have to see much
- 15:27Speaker 6: of the Giant game to know that I could deal
- 15:31Speaker 6: with the loss. I always have, almost fifty years watching
- 15:35Speaker 6: the team, but I just my vent is and I'm
- 15:37Speaker 6: sure I'm not alone. The run to Lamb, I never
- 15:41Speaker 6: liked it. The risk reward is not there. It's it's
- 15:46Speaker 6: not good. It's not good. And I think what made
- 15:49Speaker 6: it worse for me was after the game hearing them
- 15:51Speaker 6: try to to justify it. I mean, I had a
- 15:55Speaker 6: real problem with that, and hopefully that's out of the
- 15:58Speaker 6: playbook moving forward. I don't I didn't hear your take
- 16:02Speaker 6: on it earlier, but I just I had a real
- 16:04Speaker 6: problem with that using him as a money back, and
- 16:07Speaker 6: you know, I just I needed to get that out
- 16:11Speaker 6: because that that bothered me more than the game. I
- 16:14Speaker 6: had a bad fing about the game. I really did. Yeah,
- 16:17Speaker 6: and I you know, and I shouldn't even bring these
- 16:19Speaker 6: things into the equation, but the line on the game
- 16:22Speaker 6: was was weird to me too, that they were underdog
- 16:26Speaker 6: and yeah, and then after the game people talking about
- 16:28Speaker 6: how the Bears upset them. I don't know, I'm just
- 16:31Speaker 6: I'm looking ahead to well, the Bear.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I believe were two point favorites and then the Cowboys
- 16:36Speaker 1: ended up being one point favorites or two point fair
- 16:39Speaker 1: or something like that. If I really saw that correct,
- 16:42Speaker 1: I think it started out. Yeah, it did start out
- 16:43Speaker 1: with the Bears as the favors and the favorite and
- 16:46Speaker 1: then the Cowboys. It didn't matter. That's a pick, Yeah
- 16:49Speaker 1: it does.
- 16:50Speaker 10: It doesn't.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Just we'll just look CD, I'll say real quick, because
- 16:55Speaker 1: I know you have a question. But CD running the
- 16:57Speaker 1: ball to me, like I I I don't love it either.
- 17:02Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, he's not Deebo Samuel,
- 17:06Speaker 1: and Deebo Samuel looks like that. But I wanted the question.
- 17:11Speaker 1: I wanted to CHIVR question but yeah, Deebo Samuel, I
- 17:14Speaker 1: just think he's a lanky wide receiver. Keep him mountain space.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I just don't think you're gonna get electrifying runs out
- 17:20Speaker 1: of it, especially when you're running the ball pretty well.
- 17:24Speaker 6: So yeah, under seven yards of Carrie first career. Like
- 17:27Speaker 6: I said, what's the best what's the best case scenario
- 17:30Speaker 6: on that pay? He's not going to break it. You know,
- 17:32Speaker 6: he's not gonna score. I don't know. God, that's just
- 17:36Speaker 6: bother Yeah, I got I gotta go over it, all right.
- 17:40Speaker 6: Go to Romo's twenty fifteen Romos. Last year they played
- 17:44Speaker 6: in Green bal make it a packer trivia. They lost
- 17:48Speaker 6: an awful game out there, twenty eight to seven. Who scored?
- 17:53Speaker 6: This guy scored his only touchdown as a Cowboy in
- 17:57Speaker 6: that game, rushing to running back. Very obscure.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Wasn't McFadden, right, No, McFadden was actually the had a
- 18:07Speaker 1: big game.
- 18:08Speaker 6: He had a big game. Yes, he had a big game.
- 18:11Speaker 6: This guy very obscure. I think they signed him. Uh.
- 18:15Speaker 6: Oh he only played for the Cowboys that year. Oh
- 18:19Speaker 6: the only touchdown.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Turn turba Turbin something like.
- 18:27Speaker 6: That, right, Robert Turbin.
- 18:29Speaker 10: Robert Turbin.
- 18:30Speaker 6: Robert Robert Turbine.
- 18:32Speaker 7: Wow.
- 18:33Speaker 1: I don't think I could have gone my whole life
- 18:35Speaker 1: and not remembered that Robert Turbin. That's right. I remember
- 18:41Speaker 1: that game for a couple of reasons. I remember that
- 18:44Speaker 1: McFadden had a big run or something.
- 18:46Speaker 4: Uh.
- 18:47Speaker 1: And I also remember that was the year after the
- 18:51Speaker 1: des Caught It game, and we thought it was either
- 18:53Speaker 1: gonna be he was just gonna go off or he
- 18:56Speaker 1: was not gonna think it wasn't gonna go well for him,
- 18:59Speaker 1: and it didn't. I think he dropped a couple I
- 19:01Speaker 1: just he was in his head too much that day.
- 19:03Speaker 6: Yeah, Matt Castle was the quarterback. Yeah, No, that was
- 19:07Speaker 6: just that was bad.
- 19:08Speaker 1: That's bad.
- 19:09Speaker 6: Okay, all right, thanks for the time, man.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Thanks you appreciate that. Let's go one more call before
- 19:14Speaker 1: we go to break. We got Josh in Chicago.
- 19:17Speaker 14: Hey, how's it going.
- 19:19Speaker 1: How are you doing? Josh? Not bad?
- 19:20Speaker 14: Hey, So I'm a diaper, you know, I just got
- 19:23Speaker 14: to say really quick. We also lost another dog in
- 19:26Speaker 14: this offseason, and that's Jordan Lewis. And I agree with
- 19:29Speaker 14: you about Mike is probably the diaper, but I think
- 19:32Speaker 14: Jordan Lewis really I mean you look at the way
- 19:34Speaker 14: he's playing out there. Yeah, he's got a lot, you know,
- 19:38Speaker 14: he's he was a dog that we lost that could
- 19:40Speaker 14: really get after it and had a mentality to prove himself.
- 19:44Speaker 14: So I kind of miss him too.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I went back, But I get that one, you know,
- 19:49Speaker 1: I mean ten million a year. I just you have
- 19:52Speaker 1: to you have to draw the line somewhere, and when
- 19:55Speaker 1: you're in Jacksonville and you don't have any players, and
- 19:58Speaker 1: so they overpaid for that kind of stuff all the time. Time.
- 20:00Speaker 1: That's just one where you're like, man, all right, hey,
- 20:03Speaker 1: good luck to you. You know.
- 20:05Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean even forty seven or whatever,
- 20:07Speaker 14: forty six for Micah, it's almost like you gotta drum
- 20:10Speaker 14: the line right, You're not, You've got to. So yeah,
- 20:14Speaker 14: I'll retract some comments I had on Monday. I talked
- 20:17Speaker 14: a little bit about Guidin and Steel and said I
- 20:19Speaker 14: didn't think they had that good of a game. I
- 20:21Speaker 14: went back and I watched some stuff, and I looked
- 20:23Speaker 14: at some stuff, and I will retract it a little
- 20:26Speaker 14: bit and say, I don't think they had a very
- 20:27Speaker 14: good game in pass Pro, but their run blocking was
- 20:30Speaker 14: actually really good. Yeah, And That's the key to this game,
- 20:33Speaker 14: I think is if you're you know, Dak having to
- 20:37Speaker 14: throw over twenty times against the Packers, I don't like that.
- 20:40Speaker 14: But if they're running the ball, and they have been
- 20:42Speaker 14: running the ball efficiently, and he's somewhere you know between
- 20:45Speaker 14: you know, seventeen and twenty two times passing and were
- 20:49Speaker 14: running the ball well to keep the success this week.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think for a lot of reasons.
- 20:56Speaker 1: They're running the balls. Obviously, even when to move the ball,
- 20:58Speaker 1: whill be balanced keep him off the field. I think
- 21:01Speaker 1: we've said that a little bit, but especially when it
- 21:04Speaker 1: comes to I mean you've got Rashaan Gary on one
- 21:07Speaker 1: side that's got the lead in the league in sacks
- 21:10Speaker 1: at four and a half. Shocker there, right. I Mean
- 21:14Speaker 1: you get a guy on the other side, now, Michael Parsons,
- 21:17Speaker 1: and he's probably got more pressures. I bet he does.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Doesn't have as much sacks, but he's got more pressure.
- 21:21Speaker 1: He's probably getting more attention too. But if you got
- 21:25Speaker 1: two guys trying to trying to rush the passer, you
- 21:29Speaker 1: got to offset that with a run. You have to
- 21:31Speaker 1: be able to do that. That's a killer injury with
- 21:34Speaker 1: Booker this week, and not only that, not only that
- 21:38Speaker 1: Tyler Booker getting hurt. But let's go back to the
- 21:41Speaker 1: first practice maybe of training camp. Rob Jones suffers a
- 21:49Speaker 1: neck injury at the end of practice and it's a
- 21:52Speaker 1: broken bone in his neck and he's out for this season.
- 21:56Speaker 1: I mean, how much would you love to have him
- 21:58Speaker 1: right now as a veteran backup who can play some
- 22:02Speaker 1: tackle but it's mainly a guard, no offense to Bass.
- 22:07Speaker 1: You know, they kept him, but that would have been
- 22:10Speaker 1: a really nice move there, because I mean, before they
- 22:13Speaker 1: didn't know they were going to draft Booker, I mean,
- 22:15Speaker 1: Jones was going to be the starter. Probably they had
- 22:17Speaker 1: a chance to get to get Booker, and they said,
- 22:19Speaker 1: let's do this. He'll be a starter for ten years,
- 22:22Speaker 1: and he probably will be. But Rob Jones would have
- 22:24Speaker 1: been really nice to have here for a week like this,
- 22:27Speaker 1: or for a few weeks like this. Let's go to
- 22:29Speaker 1: break here on Cowboys storyline to be right back after this,

- 24:32Speaker 1: teams that are coming to talent were in the playoffs
- 24:34Speaker 1: last year. Eagles, Commanders, Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Vikings, only the Cardinals,
- 24:40Speaker 1: and they look pretty good too when the Cardinals weren't
- 24:42Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So yeah, good times. All right, let's
- 24:46Speaker 1: go to Dylan in Northport, Florida.
- 24:49Speaker 6: Heynck.
- 24:50Speaker 3: How's it going, man?
- 24:50Speaker 1: Good? How are you? I'm all right?
- 24:53Speaker 18: This?
- 24:53Speaker 19: First off, sorry for Papa Sue. For Sergeant Sue's fantasy
- 24:58Speaker 19: football team. He had Joe Burrow out there and you
- 25:01Speaker 19: got hurt, and you had Caleb Williams on the bench,
- 25:03Speaker 19: and unfortunately he did lose to me this week because
- 25:06Speaker 19: of Caleb Williams being on the bench. But David, we'll
- 25:09Speaker 19: see each other again.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Did you text him and say, hey, hey, hey, you
- 25:12Speaker 1: might want to I want to replace that because Burrows
- 25:15Speaker 1: on IR is not playing. You want to? You didn't
- 25:17Speaker 1: do that, you know, now.
- 25:20Speaker 3: To Burrow get hurt.
- 25:21Speaker 19: He got hurt this week, right or was it last
- 25:23Speaker 19: week he got hurt?
- 25:24Speaker 1: I remember it was a while ago. I don't know.
- 25:26Speaker 1: I don't care. I keep up with one team barely. Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 1: I don't feel sorry for anyone on fantasy. I think
- 25:34Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the Monday night game, I was winning
- 25:36Speaker 1: both games and lost them both. So it was a
- 25:39Speaker 1: good weekend for sure, all the way around fantasy. That's
- 25:44Speaker 1: the thing. I found that out a long time ago.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Nobody cares about anyone else's fantasy team. Not once you're
- 25:49Speaker 1: sitting there at lunch and you're like, oh, I had
- 25:51Speaker 1: so and so, and nobody cares. Not one.
- 25:55Speaker 19: You gotta pretend to always care so you can share
- 25:57Speaker 19: your fantasy football team so they can pretend to care. Too,
- 25:59Speaker 19: the fun little ritual.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but they don't though, I'll be wasting time
- 26:03Speaker 1: and wasting callers by talking about it.
- 26:05Speaker 14: All right, Dan, let's go all right.
- 26:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 26:07Speaker 19: So the team's kind of it's kind of who we
- 26:11Speaker 19: thought they were going to be, or should have thought
- 26:12Speaker 19: they were going to be, I think at this point,
- 26:14Speaker 19: especially after losing Micah. Yeah, it starts with the pass rush.
- 26:18Speaker 19: Like you said, defensively one hundred percent. At the same time,
- 26:22Speaker 19: you know you're talking sitting here in the red zone
- 26:25Speaker 19: and you have safety is letting guys just run by
- 26:27Speaker 19: them in zone. They got the deep zone. I don't
- 26:29Speaker 19: know what Hooker was doing. The one play looked like
- 26:31Speaker 19: he was almost on a quarterback spy following Williams out
- 26:34Speaker 19: to the right and receiver squeaks find just sits down
- 26:36Speaker 19: in the back of the end zone. Easy touchdown. You
- 26:37Speaker 19: see it over and over and over again, whether it's
- 26:39Speaker 19: the corners of safeties. So there's problems just all over
- 26:43Speaker 19: the place. You know, the team did a good job
- 26:45Speaker 19: I think in the off season that filling just straight
- 26:47Speaker 19: up holes with question marks with people that we thought
- 26:50Speaker 19: we're going to be good and we're hopeful for. But
- 26:53Speaker 19: none of that has really worked out. And even the linebackers,
- 26:56Speaker 19: you know, they've been serviceable against the run. But I
- 26:59Speaker 19: all the question, teams just aren't really run the ball
- 27:01Speaker 19: against us because they can throw for four hundred yards
- 27:03Speaker 19: a game. So you know, like scat about eleven carries,
- 27:06Speaker 19: swift head like fourteen or vice versa. They're just not
- 27:08Speaker 19: really running the ball against us. We're fine when they
- 27:11Speaker 19: do for the most part, but you know, are we
- 27:14Speaker 19: really going to stop in the run. Have we really
- 27:15Speaker 19: improved there or it's just a quantity issue at that point.
- 27:18Speaker 19: So I don't know, man, just everything on the defensive disaster.
- 27:21Speaker 19: It's not fixable this year.
- 27:22Speaker 10: In my opinion.
- 27:22Speaker 19: You're going to get some guys back, but Clowney is
- 27:26Speaker 19: not going to fix the pass rushes. It's not going
- 27:27Speaker 19: to happen. In my opinion. There's too much, too much
- 27:30Speaker 19: going wrong over the on that side of the ball.
- 27:32Speaker 19: So unfortunately, you know, it's going to be a thirty
- 27:34Speaker 19: point offensive performance every week minimum, and that's going to
- 27:37Speaker 19: be a tough ask for this offense and Dack, especially
- 27:39Speaker 19: with this offensive line going down with injuries left and
- 27:41Speaker 19: right too.
- 27:41Speaker 1: You know, yeah, yeah, you're you're right. I mean, it
- 27:45Speaker 1: doesn't look good in any in any way. Thanks for
- 27:47Speaker 1: the call. I mean, you know, when you think about
- 27:50Speaker 1: what what they've got on the front there on the
- 27:54Speaker 1: you know, the defensive line, I thought, you're right, they've
- 27:56Speaker 1: they've stopped the run for the most part. But you know,
- 28:00Speaker 1: why run it when you when you don't have to.
- 28:04Speaker 1: You know, it's the same that goes the other way around.
- 28:06Speaker 1: You know, I've seen some teams that two thousand Cowboys
- 28:09Speaker 1: team is pretty good at stopping the past. Now, they
- 28:10Speaker 1: did give up three two hundred yard rushers in one season,
- 28:14Speaker 1: so of course they were pretty good stop in the past,
- 28:16Speaker 1: and no one tried they didn't have to. It looks
- 28:18Speaker 1: like it's the same here on the opposite end. All right,
- 28:22Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas? Okay, Nick, how are you doing?
- 28:26Speaker 4: I'm doing good?
- 28:27Speaker 1: How are you great?
- 28:30Speaker 13: I got to disagree with my friend Dylan, uh oh.
- 28:34Speaker 13: The problem with this team is not all over the place.
- 28:37Speaker 13: It's on defense. We knew it was on defense after
- 28:41Speaker 13: the playoff loss, after last year. This was an easy fix.
- 28:48Speaker 13: I mean, they chose not to fix it. The fans
- 28:53Speaker 13: that are you know already you know, talking about, well
- 28:57Speaker 13: this team will be better in two years. No, it won't.
- 29:02Speaker 13: Your prime players are getting older, getting injured. There's no
- 29:07Speaker 13: reason we should be going through this. You name me
- 29:11Speaker 13: a team in the NFL with a top ten quarterback
- 29:15Speaker 13: that isn't going for it right now. The closest one
- 29:19Speaker 13: and even their goal for it they just hit bad
- 29:21Speaker 13: luck is Cincinnati. But they signed Hendrickson. You know, they
- 29:25Speaker 13: brought him back. The reason why this team is in
- 29:29Speaker 13: its position is it's just built wrong. Look what they did.
- 29:34Speaker 13: They rented Pickens and that's going to be a waste.
- 29:37Speaker 13: They're not going to resign this guy for thirty something there.
- 29:39Speaker 13: So why did you give up what they give up
- 29:42Speaker 13: a fort for him?
- 29:44Speaker 3: A FO?
- 29:45Speaker 5: I don't know, So you just wait.
- 29:49Speaker 13: You brought this guy in because you knew you needed
- 29:52Speaker 13: a second wide receiver, and we're never going to see
- 29:56Speaker 13: the benefits of it because the defense is so bad.
- 30:01Speaker 13: You got the highest paid quarterback, you got the highest
- 30:05Speaker 13: paid left guard, you got the second at the time
- 30:09Speaker 13: highest paid wide receiver, and yet you you don't want
- 30:12Speaker 13: to pay the best defensive player in the league because
- 30:15Speaker 13: you say it costs too much. Ridiculous.
- 30:20Speaker 1: So wait a second, I thought for sure, you've you've
- 30:23Speaker 1: come back and said that forty seven was too much.
- 30:26Speaker 13: It's all too much. Sixty million is too much for that.
- 30:31Speaker 20: But at the end of the day, you don't have
- 30:33Speaker 20: nobody else. You know, if you had somebody in the
- 30:37Speaker 20: pipeline that you thought to take up the flat fifty,
- 30:45Speaker 20: but they didn't have nobody.
- 30:47Speaker 13: And I'm sorry, I think salaries are out of whack,
- 30:52Speaker 13: but I don't think it would have cost Jerry forty
- 30:54Speaker 13: seven million. I don't know what took place, but I
- 30:58Speaker 13: don't think it would have cost forty seven millions. You
- 31:00Speaker 13: just don't let that guy go. But you don't when
- 31:02Speaker 13: you specially don't have it. But why aren't you going
- 31:05Speaker 13: for the win?
- 31:06Speaker 3: Every year?
- 31:07Speaker 13: Every year we talk about, well that rebuilding for Nection
- 31:10Speaker 13: next year has a come six.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Ninety the fans. The fans are saying that, the county
- 31:17Speaker 1: saying that, So what do you what do you mean there?
- 31:20Speaker 13: No, the Cowboys don't say Jeffy's Jerry's still trying to
- 31:23Speaker 13: sell us that this is a playoff team, like like
- 31:26Speaker 13: we don't have a TV.
- 31:28Speaker 1: I mean, okay, Rob, this is this is this has
- 31:32Speaker 1: bothered something to me. So let me ask you this.
- 31:35Speaker 1: You come out, you talk to the media and whoever
- 31:39Speaker 1: asked the question, I don't know who it was. I
- 31:41Speaker 1: don't care whoever asked the question, do you think this
- 31:44Speaker 1: is a playoff team? What's the what's the answer there?
- 31:47Speaker 13: Yeah, they should be right now. No, they don't look
- 31:51Speaker 13: like a playoff team. They are not playing like a
- 31:54Speaker 13: playoff team. Maybe that would light a fire under somebody.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I bet your lights a fire under other people.
- 32:01Speaker 13: Don't know, don't know us like you've been doing for
- 32:04Speaker 13: thirty years. We know what we see. Be honest. I
- 32:08Speaker 13: bet your Shoty would turn around if they asked Shoddy
- 32:10Speaker 13: that question. You know what he would say, not right now,
- 32:13Speaker 13: not right now, We're not we're not playing good. I'll
- 32:15Speaker 13: give that guy credit, do I did? I want him
- 32:18Speaker 13: as a head coach now. But he seems like an
- 32:20Speaker 13: honest guy, and I think he would have turned around
- 32:22Speaker 13: and said, no, how can we be a playoff team?
- 32:25Speaker 13: We're playing we're playing bad. There's nothing wrong with being truthful.
- 32:31Speaker 13: Don't try to sell me. And let's say if Jeffy's
- 32:34Speaker 13: been doing that forever, but they shouldn't be in this position.
- 32:38Speaker 13: There was no reason if they would have concentrated on
- 32:41Speaker 13: the defense after bringing in pickings right then. You you
- 32:45Speaker 13: could have had something, but no, don't. And I feel
- 32:49Speaker 13: bad for the fans because the ones that I think
- 32:51Speaker 13: this is going to change, uh next year or the
- 32:54Speaker 13: year after Uh, probably not.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Chris and San Angelo will be next. Thanks Rob for
- 33:00Speaker 1: called Chris and San Angelo. Can we switch over to him? Chris?
- 33:05Speaker 5: Hey, mister Nick, how are you doing today?
- 33:07Speaker 1: Good? How are you good?
- 33:09Speaker 5: I'm doing well? Thank you? Okay, right on, I was
- 33:13Speaker 5: gonna go here. I hadn't got to call in this week,
- 33:16Speaker 5: and so I'll let the Chicago thing go. I guess my.
- 33:19Speaker 6: Only comment there would be the Cowboys.
- 33:22Speaker 5: Were wondering who they were, and I hope they can
- 33:25Speaker 5: still wonder, and that wasn't the answer. But anyway, my
- 33:30Speaker 5: thought is the team kind of could use a spark
- 33:33Speaker 5: right now. And you know, the defense seems to be
- 33:36Speaker 5: the biggest problem. That's what everybody's piling up on. But
- 33:41Speaker 5: we just got to hope that get some players back
- 33:45Speaker 5: and kach e Bric Blue's team come up with the
- 33:48Speaker 5: right adjustments to fix that. But we could get a
- 33:52Speaker 5: spark from a source we haven't seen yet, and it's
- 33:55Speaker 5: often and I'm talking about Jade Blue. I'm just wondering.
- 34:01Speaker 5: I mean, I'm getting them out there. I would be
- 34:04Speaker 5: getting them out there just to see what he could do.
- 34:06Speaker 5: Get the ball in his hands. He could be a
- 34:09Speaker 5: playmaker that could make some things happen and create a
- 34:13Speaker 5: spark for us. Yeah, that's a little spitball idea. But
- 34:16Speaker 5: I'll see what you're saying.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Why not. I mean, yeah, I mean I think, uh,
- 34:21Speaker 1: that's what he's That's what he's here to do. I'm
- 34:23Speaker 1: Miles Anders has been you know, he's he's okay, serviceable,
- 34:26Speaker 1: but yeah, i mean as far as the speed element,
- 34:28Speaker 1: you need some playmakers. You just lost one. You know,
- 34:32Speaker 1: maybe that that's a way to kind of implement him in.
- 34:34Speaker 1: He's got to be ready, there's no doubt about it.
- 34:36Speaker 1: That's that's one of the issues. Uh he's got some
- 34:40Speaker 1: you know, quickness to him, but he's got to be
- 34:42Speaker 1: ready to roll and and and that's something I can't
- 34:45Speaker 1: tell you if he is or not. I could. After
- 34:46Speaker 1: the three games, they they've decided that he's not. So
- 34:50Speaker 1: that's that's kind of where we are there. All right,
- 34:53Speaker 1: thank you for the call. You know, let's go. I'm
- 34:55Speaker 1: gonna go back to like this is not just about
- 34:59Speaker 1: Rob This is other callers as well, like I, I think
- 35:03Speaker 1: the very first one that also said it, I just
- 35:07Speaker 1: wait too long for the football season. I just get
- 35:09Speaker 1: too excited about it too to say, all right, this
- 35:13Speaker 1: isn't we're done. You know, they're not a playoff team.
- 35:16Speaker 1: I mean, if I were to ask that question, is
- 35:18Speaker 1: this a playoff team? Yeah, I mean it it can be.
- 35:23Speaker 1: It's not. It's not there right now. They're gonna have
- 35:25Speaker 1: to make some some changes either, they're gonna have to
- 35:27Speaker 1: add some players. They got to get some guys back.
- 35:29Speaker 1: They gotta they gotta start winning some games. They got to,
- 35:32Speaker 1: you know, figure it out. But I mean if Jerry
- 35:35Speaker 1: would have said, nah, probably not. I mean, what does
- 35:40Speaker 1: that do? That's a bad that. That's why I don't
- 35:42Speaker 1: like the question. Is he doesn't get there's not an
- 35:45Speaker 1: answer on the table that that would that would be
- 35:48Speaker 1: good for anybody. So when you have a question that's unanswerable,
- 35:53Speaker 1: then to me, that's a bad question. And that's just
- 35:55Speaker 1: somebody just fishing for stuff. Again, I don't even remember
- 35:58Speaker 1: who asked that question, but I don't. I didn't like
- 36:00Speaker 1: it because here we are, he's got I mean, if
- 36:02Speaker 1: he would have answered it the way you guys maybe
- 36:05Speaker 1: wanted him to answer it. Then that's one of the
- 36:09Speaker 1: biggest stories going. And so anyways, I don't I don't
- 36:14Speaker 1: like it's it's it's early in the year.
- 36:16Speaker 6: You know.
- 36:17Speaker 1: This is like if you're driving cross country from New
- 36:21Speaker 1: York to LA and you're I don't know, two hours,
- 36:25Speaker 1: three hours down the road and you and you spill
- 36:28Speaker 1: a drink all over the front seat. I mean, are
- 36:30Speaker 1: you gonna turn and stop? I mean, that's that's where
- 36:32Speaker 1: we are. That's that's about how bad things are. You
- 36:34Speaker 1: clean it up and let's let's keep going. You're not
- 36:36Speaker 1: gonna just stop going. Uh, it's not like you've done
- 36:40Speaker 1: anything that says this thing can't get turned around. They're
- 36:44Speaker 1: one and two. It doesn't look good something. This loss
- 36:48Speaker 1: did not look good at all. They got problems, but
- 36:52Speaker 1: you know there's reasons for this. I'll see, let's see
- 36:54Speaker 1: if they can get things turned around. I've seen it.
- 36:56Speaker 1: We've we've all seen it. I've seen a three and
- 36:59Speaker 1: five football team make a trade and turn into ten
- 37:02Speaker 1: and six. I'm not saying they're going to make a trade,
- 37:03Speaker 1: but I'm just saying we've seen turnarounds good and bad.
- 37:06Speaker 1: I'm not ready to turn it around. I mean, what
- 37:08Speaker 1: how can we But if you are, if that's if
- 37:11Speaker 1: that's you, that's fine. We have a lot of people
- 37:13Speaker 1: trying to call in, so just let's free it up
- 37:15Speaker 1: for that. Then if that's the case, let's free it
- 37:17Speaker 1: up for that. Let's go to Alan and Clearwater, Florida.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, good morning.
- 37:22Speaker 1: How are you stir the pot up again?
- 37:26Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 37:27Speaker 3: Hey, that was really fun to get a lot of
- 37:28Speaker 3: reaction to my call, and that was really good you did.
- 37:31Speaker 3: But you know what, so I want to.
- 37:34Speaker 1: What's funny is I remember Allan from Clearwater, Florida and
- 37:37Speaker 1: a lot of people talking about it. I can't, for
- 37:39Speaker 1: the life of me remember what you said.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Okay, So what I got reaction to was after the
- 37:46Speaker 3: Philly game, I said, how discussed that I was, And
- 37:50Speaker 3: I said, I did put it on Dak. Though Dak
- 37:53Speaker 3: played overall, he played a great game. But I pointed
- 37:56Speaker 3: out was in the ten years I've been watching Dak,
- 37:58Speaker 3: he makes the same mistakes in the same spots in
- 38:01Speaker 3: big games, and I think he continues to do that,
- 38:05Speaker 3: and I really, I really think it's more of a
- 38:07Speaker 3: coaching situation, and that's really my take on the green
- 38:10Speaker 3: Bay game and what I'm going to be looking for.
- 38:14Speaker 1: That was a big game. Yeah, what about Week two
- 38:17Speaker 1: against the Giants? Was that a big game?
- 38:20Speaker 3: That was not as not as big a game as
- 38:23Speaker 3: the Philly game in Philly, but if you remember the
- 38:26Speaker 3: Giants game, he didn't start out playing.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Well, that's not a big game, right, So there's only
- 38:31Speaker 1: big games. If you lose, you lose.
- 38:33Speaker 3: No no, no, no no no no no no. That
- 38:36Speaker 3: was playing in the open air at Philly getting a
- 38:39Speaker 3: win from them. You know, they're all big games, but
- 38:42Speaker 3: there are some games like this game coming up against
- 38:44Speaker 3: Green Bay is big for a lot of reasons. And
- 38:47Speaker 3: what I'm looking for and what and what I said
- 38:50Speaker 3: about the Philly game was did you not know that
- 38:53Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts could run the ball? That's what I said.
- 38:56Speaker 3: From the deep they played great secondary right in this
- 38:59Speaker 3: game coming up. What I'll be looking for in the
- 39:02Speaker 3: green Bay game is the coaches putting our we have playmakers.
- 39:07Speaker 3: I disagree with the caller who said before that you
- 39:10Speaker 3: know when you made the point, Look, these are the
- 39:11Speaker 3: same players in the secondary for the most part. Okay,
- 39:14Speaker 3: to me, it is scheme and it's the coaches and
- 39:17Speaker 3: it's the execution. And I put that on the coaches
- 39:20Speaker 3: preparing our team. They haven't been well prepared or the
- 39:23Speaker 3: scheme is wrong. So in the Green Bay game, we
- 39:26Speaker 3: know about the pass rush. If we get beat by
- 39:29Speaker 3: the pass rush, I will say, you know, this is
- 39:32Speaker 3: like a Dick Nolan. How many weeks do we give
- 39:35Speaker 3: the defense to figure out who your personnel are and
- 39:39Speaker 3: how to how to put them in a position. And
- 39:41Speaker 3: on the offensive side, if you know that this is
- 39:45Speaker 3: a pass rushing team, they have they have. This is
- 39:48Speaker 3: a great team all the way through. But you should
- 39:50Speaker 3: be we have great players still, we have pickens, we
- 39:53Speaker 3: have turpin, we have a great running game. My perspective
- 39:57Speaker 3: is the coaches need to put our players in a position,
- 40:00Speaker 3: including Dak. Coach Dak three step drop quick passes, don't
- 40:08Speaker 3: take sacks, meaning get rid of the ball quick. There's
- 40:11Speaker 3: a lot of talent to get quick hitting plays and
- 40:14Speaker 3: run the ball. If we lose because Dak gets beat
- 40:18Speaker 3: up and sacked and all of that, I will say
- 40:21Speaker 3: you know that that I'm going to put it on
- 40:23Speaker 3: the coaching staff more than anything. And the final point
- 40:26Speaker 3: that I want to make about Rob and Vegas was
- 40:29Speaker 3: he said, it's all defense. It's not all defense. Last week,
- 40:33Speaker 3: this offense scored one touchdown and in the Philly game,
- 40:37Speaker 3: we didn't score anything in the second half. I'm also
- 40:40Speaker 3: looking for Shottenheimer to give us some of that creativity.
- 40:44Speaker 3: We have explosive players. I'm putting it on the coaching
- 40:48Speaker 3: staff to put our players in a position to make plays.
- 40:52Speaker 3: That's my point.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, thanks for the call, because I thought
- 40:58Speaker 1: it was for the first time around, I thought it
- 41:00Speaker 1: was for sure about Dak. Now it was about the coaches.
- 41:03Speaker 1: But but I you know, I kind of disagree with
- 41:05Speaker 1: that as far as like, if Dak gets beat up,
- 41:09Speaker 1: it's going to be on the coaches, it's going to
- 41:11Speaker 1: be on the defense, probably because the defense is not
- 41:14Speaker 1: going to stop them. And so therefore you're down by
- 41:17Speaker 1: seventeen points, and if you want to just load up
- 41:19Speaker 1: and just try to run the ball and try, you know,
- 41:22Speaker 1: not to come back, that's fine, but that's what the
- 41:24Speaker 1: defense is going to put you down. And now you're
- 41:27Speaker 1: going to have to try to pass your way back in,
- 41:30Speaker 1: which is exactly what the Packers want you to be,
- 41:34Speaker 1: you know. And if the Packers are gonna have to score. Though.
- 41:36Speaker 1: They struggled against Cleveland on the road and because of
- 41:39Speaker 1: that they they couldn't the Cleveland didn't have to go
- 41:43Speaker 1: into an all pass mode. But that's that's the key.
- 41:46Speaker 1: The Cowboys defense is going to have to keep them
- 41:48Speaker 1: in the game so the Cowboys can stay balanced. And
- 41:52Speaker 1: if not, then it's you know, you're going to play
- 41:54Speaker 1: right into their hands a little bit. So I don't
- 41:57Speaker 1: know if I mean, yeah, it's on the it's on
- 41:59Speaker 1: the coaches to to try to figure out the way
- 42:01Speaker 1: to keep them in the game. There's no doubt about it.
- 42:03Speaker 1: They have not been good in the week because teams
- 42:07Speaker 1: are starting off fast. This defense needs to figure out
- 42:10Speaker 1: a way to stop them early to keep everybody in
- 42:14Speaker 1: the game. Let's go to break one more time here

- 43:36Speaker 1: last few minutes. Lester in Minnesota's next Lester, Good morning,
- 43:42Speaker 1: how you doing?
- 43:44Speaker 7: Amen? I got a couple of messages for a couple
- 43:49Speaker 7: of our callers.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 43:52Speaker 7: This is for Anthony. Yesterday he was written and sad
- 43:56Speaker 7: about our defense. Anthony, just look at the roster, man.
- 44:02Speaker 7: We don't really have a good roster right now. So
- 44:05Speaker 7: don't just keep your chain up, man. It's gonna be
- 44:07Speaker 7: all right. And what I think Rob from Vegas was
- 44:12Speaker 7: saying is that, okay, we had to get rid of Parsons,
- 44:15Speaker 7: and everyone with a lot of people did, like if
- 44:18Speaker 7: something did, and something did, but we didn't get enough
- 44:20Speaker 7: back for him. I thought we should have got Clark
- 44:22Speaker 7: and Gary for Parsons and some draft picks, you know,
- 44:28Speaker 7: because Gary is not Parsons, of course, but he is
- 44:31Speaker 7: a pass rusher that they have and he could have
- 44:34Speaker 7: filled the gap a little bit. So I think that's
- 44:39Speaker 7: part of the frustration, is like where are we doing?
- 44:42Speaker 7: What kind of plan do we have? Where are we going?
- 44:45Speaker 7: Because okay, if we still have Parsons, Payton, whatever, then
- 44:50Speaker 7: our defense if he was to get hurt like he
- 44:53Speaker 7: did last year, I mean, the defense would look like
- 44:55Speaker 7: this even worse because we wouldn't have Clark. I guess
- 44:58Speaker 7: what I'm trying to say is that Okay, Parsons is great,
- 45:02Speaker 7: but what else do we have around him? I mean,
- 45:05Speaker 7: we got good corners. I love the corners, and but
- 45:08Speaker 7: what else do we really have? So I think that's
- 45:10Speaker 7: part of the frustration of a lot of people. That's
- 45:13Speaker 7: part of my frustration as well. How we building the
- 45:16Speaker 7: team out and that's all I got Cowboys?
- 45:20Speaker 6: All right?
- 45:20Speaker 1: Thanks Lester. Yeah, I mean it's it's frustrating now, of course.
- 45:25Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was sad that they couldn't
- 45:29Speaker 1: get it done, There's no doubt about it. I was
- 45:31Speaker 1: sad that they couldn't figure out a way to make
- 45:33Speaker 1: that trade. I think that they try until, you know,
- 45:36Speaker 1: at the very end. But once you you know, it'll
- 45:39Speaker 1: things will come out over you know, maybe over the
- 45:43Speaker 1: next few months, years, whatever, It'll come out, and I
- 45:45Speaker 1: think everyone will kind of understand a little bit more
- 45:49Speaker 1: why they had to move on. I mean, Michael was
- 45:53Speaker 1: was doing everything possible not to play, and I think
- 45:56Speaker 1: when that happened, We've had players here that have done
- 45:58Speaker 1: everything possible to play. This guy's going out of his
- 46:02Speaker 1: way literally not to play. You can't have that on
- 46:07Speaker 1: your team, you know. That's when I think they knew
- 46:09Speaker 1: it was it was not gonna happen, and it's sad
- 46:12Speaker 1: that it got to that point, you know, And and
- 46:14Speaker 1: and yeah, they I think egos definitely got involved on
- 46:18Speaker 1: both sides, There's no doubt about it. But you know,
- 46:21Speaker 1: it's just unfortunate. And so now look at kind of
- 46:23Speaker 1: what it's left them minute and the Packers have certainly
- 46:26Speaker 1: benefiting on you know now because they got the player,
- 46:29Speaker 1: they won the player trade, and then nobody's drafting anyways.
- 46:34Speaker 1: So well, let's see how it all, how it all
- 46:36Speaker 1: plays out, you have a right to be frustrated about it,
- 46:38Speaker 1: for sure, Sebastian and Savannah will be last. So Sebastian,
- 46:41Speaker 1: what's up?
- 46:41Speaker 18: Awesome?
- 46:42Speaker 11: Well, first off, how are you doing good? Nicholas Piven?
- 46:45Speaker 11: How are you doing well myself? Uh? Second, yeah, Green
- 46:49Speaker 11: Bay's winning the trade for now, We'll see how it
- 46:50Speaker 11: turns out in the end. He came to be doing
- 46:52Speaker 11: pretty well with our draft picks. However, the biggest downpoint
- 46:57Speaker 11: of this season so far is not still that.
- 47:00Speaker 6: Game in Philly.
- 47:01Speaker 11: If we steal that game in Philly and we go
- 47:03Speaker 11: on to Chicago and due we did on Sunday, I
- 47:06Speaker 11: don't think there would be this immense pressure on us
- 47:09Speaker 11: going two to one versus.
- 47:10Speaker 3: One and two.
- 47:11Speaker 11: Have we been able to steal that game? A lot
- 47:13Speaker 11: of things are going very differently right now. But it's
- 47:18Speaker 11: Brian Schottenheimer, who I really loved by the way, I
- 47:21Speaker 11: love Brian Schottenheimer, but he did something that really made
- 47:23Speaker 11: me upset, pulling Dak with five minutes left to go.
- 47:28Speaker 11: That is, this is America's team, right The American people
- 47:33Speaker 11: were built on when the going gets tough, we get going.
- 47:37Speaker 11: And I understand that Dak had a guy take a
- 47:40Speaker 11: dive of his knees and things like that, but a
- 47:42Speaker 11: lot of stuff could have played out differently in that game.
- 47:45Speaker 11: But I'm not going to kill Brian Schottenammer because as
- 47:47Speaker 11: the first time head coach who's calling his offense to
- 47:50Speaker 11: the best visibility and prior to that, I want to
- 47:53Speaker 11: hit on two very good things that I saw in
- 47:55Speaker 11: that game, because there wasn't a lot of good Number
- 47:58Speaker 11: seventy three and number thirty three, we got some in there.
- 48:00Speaker 11: You gotta run that ball more. But my question for
- 48:03Speaker 11: you is this, how much leeway does Brian Eberfluss gets
- 48:09Speaker 11: When Brian does Eberflus get for his defense? Like what
- 48:12Speaker 11: do you think the leash is for this? How long
- 48:14Speaker 11: is it before Jerry goes, Okay, this is becoming a
- 48:17Speaker 11: Monte Kiffen, a Mike Nolan type of a defense. I
- 48:20Speaker 11: got to step in here and do something. Yeah, but
- 48:22Speaker 11: it also goes not just on him though, but his
- 48:25Speaker 11: veterans that he bought in, that he loves. They're not
- 48:27Speaker 11: playing well.
- 48:28Speaker 1: At all, thanks so BESI. I would think half the year,
- 48:32Speaker 1: you know, I mean halfway through the season. If if
- 48:34Speaker 1: it's really really bad like that, that's usually when you
- 48:37Speaker 1: start seeing some changes like that. You're you're going to
- 48:40Speaker 1: try to do different things personnel wise and first and
- 48:44Speaker 1: try to get your guys back and maybe if you
- 48:46Speaker 1: think there's a move to bring in, you can do
- 48:48Speaker 1: that so before you just kind of scrap everything. I
- 48:51Speaker 1: think it's probably closer to halfway through the year, but
- 48:55Speaker 1: it's you know, it's certainly bad right now and they
- 48:57Speaker 1: have to make some changes, but it's three games. Let's
- 49:00Speaker 1: let's see. And I disagree with you about stealing that
- 49:03Speaker 1: game with the Eagles because I think if the way
- 49:05Speaker 1: the ball bounces, I think if you steal that win
- 49:08Speaker 1: in Philly, you lose to the Giants. I mean, they
- 49:10Speaker 1: easily could have lost to the Giants. Probably it would
- 49:13Speaker 1: have been a lot easier to lose to the Giants
- 49:15Speaker 1: than to go win that game in Philly. So I
- 49:17Speaker 1: just think it works that way. You get one ball
- 49:20Speaker 1: goes your way one week, it usually doesn't the next.
- 49:22Speaker 1: And that's kind of the way I see it. So
- 49:24Speaker 1: they're one and two right now, because that's what they are.
- 49:27Speaker 1: They're one and too. Let's see, let's see how it goes. Guys.
- 49:29Speaker 1: It's early, it's still early. That's that's kind of my
- 49:32Speaker 1: theme to the whole thing is you know, Chris, Chris
- 49:35Speaker 1: pointed out something to me just now too, like, you know,
- 49:38Speaker 1: no one's clinched a playoff spot, so the Cowboys are
- 49:41Speaker 1: certainly not eliminated. Let's let's just let's enjoy the ride
- 49:46Speaker 1: a little bit. This is bumpy. It's bumpy right now.
- 49:48Speaker 1: Put your seatbelt on, let's roll. We'll do it again
- 49:51Speaker 1: tomorrow for Chris Beam, I'm Nick keating sy tomorrow and storyline.
- 49:54Speaker 2: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
- 49:57Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
