- 0:04Speaker 1: The following.
- 0:05Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
- 0:07Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys.
- 0:14Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Welcome to Talking Cowboys. I am Nick Eatman. Here we
- 0:32Speaker 1: are changing shows here on Dallascowboys dot Com. Chris Beane
- 0:38Speaker 1: was giving me a trivia question and he forgot to
- 0:41Speaker 1: switch it the storyline. That's what we do here. We're
- 0:44Speaker 1: switching it over now it's Cowboys storyline. I just wanted
- 0:47Speaker 1: to make my debut on Talking Cowboys for like a
- 0:49Speaker 1: few seconds. Here we are Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman. Friday,
- 0:53Speaker 1: December the sixth, Cowboys and Bengals Monday Night Football. I
- 0:59Speaker 1: was like trying to think, like we had a game
- 1:01Speaker 1: this week. We still have another day another weekend, but
- 1:04Speaker 1: this will be our last show before the Cowboys take
- 1:07Speaker 1: on the Bengals. Want to hear from you, guys, want
- 1:08Speaker 1: to hear what you think. All week long, I've been
- 1:11Speaker 1: kind of seeing a little optimism here. Cowboys can win
- 1:15Speaker 1: this game. Maybe perhaps you know it's still it comes
- 1:19Speaker 1: down to you got to be I said this on
- 1:22Speaker 1: the radio one five to three fan They asked me
- 1:24Speaker 1: about my pick for the game, and I just said,
- 1:27Speaker 1: you know, just go beat a fourn eight football team
- 1:30Speaker 1: at home. I mean, seriously, just go. You're at home,
- 1:33Speaker 1: You're playing a four to eight team. I don't care
- 1:35Speaker 1: what they look like. And maybe they're better than this.
- 1:37Speaker 1: All that four and eight for a reason. And you know,
- 1:41Speaker 1: somebody over there is not not doing a great job.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Exploit that. Win that game and figure out, you know,
- 1:49Speaker 1: how to how to win three straight. You win this
- 1:51Speaker 1: one to good to six and seven. I think it's
- 1:53Speaker 1: time to start at least start talking about, you know,
- 1:57Speaker 1: could this could this happen? Just based off of of
- 2:00Speaker 1: what the you know, what the schedule looks in how
- 2:04Speaker 1: it aligns here in the last four games after this one.
- 2:06Speaker 1: But it's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Got
- 2:09Speaker 1: to go win this one here, all right? Eight eight
- 2:12Speaker 1: eight eight five five two two nine seven is the
- 2:15Speaker 1: number to call, Chris said. We had some callers on
- 2:19Speaker 1: the line. Chris, do do we have anybody ready to go?
- 2:23Speaker 1: Robbie Coco beat Florida? You know it, man, all week long?
- 2:29Speaker 1: Just consistency five availability, that's right, five, I think five
- 2:35Speaker 1: days in a row. Now you've called and which is fine,
- 2:37Speaker 1: Which is fine. Robbie gets fine, don't get okay, Oh
- 2:41Speaker 1: my god, he scared me yesterday. Now what's going on? Man?
- 2:47Speaker 4: Man, First, I want to give a shout out to
- 2:49Speaker 4: the president.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Man.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Feel bad for the guy. And now you know what,
- 2:53Speaker 4: after reading the stuff that I think, no c did it,
- 2:57Speaker 4: I think you'll be back next year at I hope.
- 2:59Speaker 4: So yeah, maybe they'll just get right for him, get
- 3:03Speaker 4: his legs right, his ankle's right.
- 3:04Speaker 1: So I have some thoughts on that. I'll talk. I'll
- 3:08Speaker 1: say it after you get off the air.
- 3:10Speaker 4: But yeah, all right, well I'll keep it quick today
- 3:12Speaker 4: and that's all I wanted to do. And I think,
- 3:14Speaker 4: like I said yesterday, I think we win thirty one
- 3:16Speaker 4: twenty one. I think our defense shows up big man.
- 3:19Speaker 4: I think we're gonna just we got that swagger. We're
- 3:22Speaker 4: gonna with the Ron Bland and Trayvon Back. I think
- 3:25Speaker 4: we're gonna put it to him a little bit.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, what a great week to have those guys back.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Robbie. Thanks for a week of
- 3:34Speaker 1: calls here all five days, really really good. Not not
- 3:37Speaker 1: easy to do a lot of people probably think you
- 3:41Speaker 1: have like the magic number which Chris Beam has informed
- 3:45Speaker 1: there is no such thing. But still to get in
- 3:48Speaker 1: for five straight days. Good stuff. Some of them were
- 3:51Speaker 1: the first callar some of them with the last collar.
- 3:55Speaker 1: But but good good stuff today talking about Bland and
- 3:58Speaker 1: Digs boy with with Jamar Chase and t Higgins and
- 4:01Speaker 1: of course you know Joe Burrow at the quarterbacks spot.
- 4:06Speaker 1: What a great time to have all of your corners
- 4:08Speaker 1: back if that is the case. And so you're gonna
- 4:11Speaker 1: have to, you know, not only gonna have to kind
- 4:14Speaker 1: of minimize them, but you're gonna have to figure out
- 4:15Speaker 1: ways to score on the other end. And and you
- 4:18Speaker 1: know the Bengals defense will allow that. And let's not
- 4:21Speaker 1: forget this part too. It's not just the Bengals defense.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I mean, yes, they're putting up a lot of points,
- 4:26Speaker 1: but but they'll they'll turn the ball over too. You
- 4:29Speaker 1: know that the Pittsburgh didn't score their offense didn't score
- 4:32Speaker 1: forty one points. I mean their defense had to touchdown
- 4:34Speaker 1: as well. So I don't think Cincinnati's offensive line is
- 4:38Speaker 1: the greatest. I think I think the Cowboys can can
- 4:40Speaker 1: get after them. And and that's gonna be the key.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Not just Micah Parsons, Carl Lawson, You know, he spent
- 4:47Speaker 1: some time in Cincinnati, had his best season in Cincinnati
- 4:50Speaker 1: at eight and a half sacks his rookie year, so
- 4:52Speaker 1: I'm sure he would be excited to have a big
- 4:56Speaker 1: game as well. You mentioned Zach Martin. He announced yesterday
- 5:00Speaker 1: he is going to have ankle surgery and his season
- 5:02Speaker 1: will be over and then the the you know, next
- 5:07Speaker 1: question is is that for his career his contract is
- 5:11Speaker 1: up after this year. He does have an option where
- 5:14Speaker 1: if he wants to to try to exercise that when
- 5:16Speaker 1: the Cowboys they can figure out something there to play
- 5:20Speaker 1: next season here in Dallas, I guess he could always
- 5:23Speaker 1: go and play somewhere else. Having the surgery right now
- 5:28Speaker 1: makes me think that, you know, because he is having
- 5:31Speaker 1: it next week. It makes me think he's given himself
- 5:34Speaker 1: a chance to come back and play, because you could
- 5:36Speaker 1: just say, all right, I'm just gonna be on ir
- 5:38Speaker 1: and then we'll see when I want to have surgery
- 5:40Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff if you're not really
- 5:42Speaker 1: worried about a timetable, but to have it right now,
- 5:45Speaker 1: at least he's given himself the chance to do that.
- 5:50Speaker 1: After he'd spoke in the locker room yesterday, there was
- 5:54Speaker 1: a lot of people talking to him, shaking his hand,
- 5:56Speaker 1: you know, like thanking him for his time here, and
- 6:01Speaker 1: I was standing there and he kind of looked at
- 6:04Speaker 1: me and I just said, no, no, we're not doing it.
- 6:08Speaker 1: He actually had his hand out, Zach Martin had his
- 6:10Speaker 1: hand out to shake my hand, and I said, no, no, no,
- 6:13Speaker 1: we're not doing this, not right now, No, because I'm
- 6:15Speaker 1: not believing that, not out of disrespect, just out of
- 6:20Speaker 1: we're not here yet. This was just an interview. Season's over.
- 6:24Speaker 1: When it's time, when it's time for him to call
- 6:26Speaker 1: it a career, and maybe that is the case, we'll
- 6:30Speaker 1: definitely shake his hand, for sure. He's been one of
- 6:32Speaker 1: my favorite players of all time. But as of right now,
- 6:34Speaker 1: it's like, no, no, you just get right and we'll
- 6:37Speaker 1: see here next year. Like that's just kind of the
- 6:39Speaker 1: mentality that I'm thinking here, all right, Brian in Kansas
- 6:41Speaker 1: City is next, Brian. What's up man?
- 6:44Speaker 6: Good morning, sir, How are you well? I called in
- 6:47Speaker 6: to talk about the president in the room too.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:51Speaker 7: You know, I thought, maybe just everybody give a favorite memory,
- 6:58Speaker 7: and I'll give mine my favorite memory, and I think
- 7:02Speaker 7: this was a decade ago.
- 7:03Speaker 6: But of course you and Chris are going to know
- 7:05Speaker 6: exactly when you did this. But the digital content team
- 7:08Speaker 6: created that series called mean Tweets, Oh yeah, and everybody
- 7:14Speaker 6: had to read one. Some of them were about the
- 7:16Speaker 6: player themselves, some of them were just generic. They all
- 7:19Speaker 6: had great ones. I think was a car kind of
- 7:22Speaker 6: took an exception to his and Romo did a funny one.
- 7:26Speaker 6: But my Zach Martin memory is that he's reading his
- 7:31Speaker 6: mean tweet and I don't know if it was his
- 7:32Speaker 6: rookie year or not, but he's reading his mean tweet
- 7:35Speaker 6: and it says getting an offensive lineman in the first
- 7:40Speaker 6: round is like getting socks for Christmas. And that's my
- 7:46Speaker 6: favorite Zach Martin memory. And go Cowboys and I'll hang
- 7:50Speaker 6: up and listen.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Friends, Well I'll say this, there'll be some pretty, you know,
- 7:58Speaker 1: badass socks. You know. I mean, I'm sorry, I'm watching.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I didn't see this on the field with the Packers
- 8:04Speaker 1: in the and the Lions after the game. I mean,
- 8:06Speaker 1: we rushed in the field. Now, is that? Is that
- 8:08Speaker 1: what's happening here? This might have been before the game.
- 8:13Speaker 8: But.
- 8:14Speaker 1: I just yeah, I mean, that's funny that someone said
- 8:17Speaker 1: that about about the socks and the offensive lineman. But uh,
- 8:22Speaker 1: that's that's actually pretty ignorant when you when you think
- 8:24Speaker 1: about it, you know, at that point, Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick,
- 8:30Speaker 1: then Zach Martin, I mean you you built an offensive
- 8:33Speaker 1: line that that you know, you really carried this team
- 8:38Speaker 1: for a long time in that whole decade, So you
- 8:41Speaker 1: can get one like that. Certainly. Now the Cowboys, you know,
- 8:45Speaker 1: and Tyler Smith, they've drafted him in the first round.
- 8:47Speaker 1: It's been a pretty good pick. They drafted Tyler Geiton.
- 8:51Speaker 1: It's it's been a it's been a tough rookie year
- 8:53Speaker 1: for him. But that that's not to say that that
- 8:56Speaker 1: he's not gonna have You know, we knew this, We
- 8:59Speaker 1: knew this was gonna be that that kind of season
- 9:01Speaker 1: for him. When we knew that it was going to be,
- 9:03Speaker 1: you know, a learning curve. I think we expected maybe
- 9:05Speaker 1: a little bit you know, more production here. But going
- 9:09Speaker 1: back to Zach Martin, his personality, Uh, he you know,
- 9:13Speaker 1: he's never going to be the guy that's telling jokes
- 9:15Speaker 1: you know, in the room. But but he's still got
- 9:18Speaker 1: a good fun personality and I just I just always
- 9:20Speaker 1: liked talking to him. You know, he just got a
- 9:22Speaker 1: good perspective on things. He just he just got it,
- 9:25Speaker 1: you know, he just understood. My favorite part this was
- 9:29Speaker 1: his bit. They didn't play a lot of noon games
- 9:32Speaker 1: around here. You know, when you're winning, you don't get
- 9:35Speaker 1: a lot of noon games. But when they did, and
- 9:38Speaker 1: and there's probably some times that that Chris Bean was
- 9:41Speaker 1: in the locker room for this when they when they
- 9:45Speaker 1: would win the game and it would you know, and
- 9:47Speaker 1: it would the game's over, and then Zach somebody would say, Zach,
- 9:51Speaker 1: what time is it? And he he would just say, guys,
- 9:55Speaker 1: it's only three fifteen or three twenty two or whatever
- 9:58Speaker 1: it was. You know, they're just so excited, like he
- 9:59Speaker 1: still had all this time in the day left to
- 10:02Speaker 1: go and before they had to get back on Monday
- 10:05Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't know why that was his bit,
- 10:06Speaker 1: but that was the thing, Zach. Zach would always tell
- 10:09Speaker 1: the team what time it was, and it's in still
- 10:12Speaker 1: time to you know, obviously, uh do what they had
- 10:15Speaker 1: to do on there on Sunday. But again, not a
- 10:17Speaker 1: lot of noon games for this team. All right, let's
- 10:20Speaker 1: go to Jeremy in d C. Hey, Yo, Nick, what's
- 10:27Speaker 1: up man?
- 10:28Speaker 9: How you doing man?
- 10:29Speaker 10: How you doing today?
- 10:30Speaker 1: Good?
- 10:32Speaker 10: Good man, you're saying out of trouble.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, I thought you might ask me
- 10:36Speaker 1: if I heard anyone today. And I'm not sure. I'm
- 10:41Speaker 1: not sure. I will find out when we get when
- 10:44Speaker 1: I get back home, but I don't know if a
- 10:47Speaker 1: squirrel made it, or there was a squirrel that was
- 10:50Speaker 1: that was not not too squirrely as he was going
- 10:53Speaker 1: through and I I don't know. We're gonna have to see.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I don't see how he's doing, but I'm on a
- 10:58Speaker 1: clipped him there this morning.
- 11:01Speaker 3: Move squirrel?
- 11:03Speaker 10: All right?
- 11:05Speaker 1: Sorry? That so I figured you might ask if I
- 11:07Speaker 1: heard anyone. I was like, yeah, maybe maybe a squirrel
- 11:10Speaker 1: at the house. We'll see, we'll see. You know, they're
- 11:12Speaker 1: they're resilient.
- 11:14Speaker 8: All right.
- 11:15Speaker 10: I checked in with you on Monday to make check
- 11:17Speaker 10: on this question.
- 11:17Speaker 1: All right, we'll check on it. We'll check all squirrely.
- 11:20Speaker 10: So all right, Yeah, So I got a couple of things,
- 11:25Speaker 10: uh with I forgot to answer yesterday where it's more
- 11:28Speaker 10: of a statement than the question. It's kind of both.
- 11:31Speaker 10: But I'm like, do you think we got a real
- 11:34Speaker 10: problem on our hands in this cornerback room because we
- 11:38Speaker 10: got Bland Diggs, Jordan Lewis. Carson was playing good up
- 11:44Speaker 10: until he tried to take on Derrick Henry and heard
- 11:46Speaker 10: the shoulder, and then we got Butler. McCombe was playing
- 11:51Speaker 10: pretty good. But I think half of those guys.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Are free agents, right, uh, probably some some of them,
- 11:58Speaker 1: I mean, including Jordan Lewis. I can't you can't see me,
- 12:03Speaker 1: probably right now, Jeremy. But I'm shaking my head as
- 12:06Speaker 1: much as you could possibly shake someone's head, like problem, No,
- 12:11Speaker 1: this is not a problem, Okay. A problem is is
- 12:14Speaker 1: when you sign a guy that you cannot pronounce. His
- 12:17Speaker 1: name is Owari, and then you have to play him
- 12:20Speaker 1: in the middle of the game because Booth is not
- 12:24Speaker 1: playing well, so you have to play against Malik Neighbors
- 12:28Speaker 1: and he makes an interception to save the game. Like
- 12:32Speaker 1: that's a problem. Practice squad to the starting lineup in
- 12:35Speaker 1: one hour, Like that's a problem. So so the fact
- 12:39Speaker 1: that Oi can play and you didn't mention him, but
- 12:41Speaker 1: he's coming back this week, right when Butler's going, Yeah,
- 12:45Speaker 1: and he's a solid player. But no, you cannot have
- 12:48Speaker 1: too many good corners, and I just it's absolutely not
- 12:53Speaker 1: a problem, especially the way people play today's NFL with
- 12:57Speaker 1: three receivers. Four receivers. No, I don't think it's a
- 13:01Speaker 1: it's a problem. Would be a great thing to have,
- 13:03Speaker 1: but you got to remember, I mean Diggs, Diggs and
- 13:05Speaker 1: Bland haven't played one snap together this year, so these
- 13:09Speaker 1: guys are getting made up. Lewis missed the game. So
- 13:12Speaker 1: now it's not a problem to have. It's a it's
- 13:13Speaker 1: a good problem to have that many corners and to
- 13:16Speaker 1: have to figure out, you know, who do you play
- 13:18Speaker 1: and who do you not play?
- 13:21Speaker 10: All right, all right, and I want to do you
- 13:23Speaker 10: think I got another quick question. Do you think if
- 13:29Speaker 10: we could bring like Dalvin Cook back and then draft
- 13:33Speaker 10: another running back? That way we got Rico Dalvin Cook
- 13:37Speaker 10: and then we got the fresh legs with like a
- 13:39Speaker 10: little ski type of guy, and then we could really
- 13:43Speaker 10: get physical with people, you.
- 13:44Speaker 9: Know what I'm saying.
- 13:45Speaker 10: And then my last thing is hypothetically speaking, and I
- 13:50Speaker 10: take this one offline. Hypothetically speaking, do you think it'll
- 13:54Speaker 10: be good if we could trade for a defensive tackle
- 13:58Speaker 10: like one of the draft people, like, if you could
- 14:01Speaker 10: trade a third round pick or something for uh, I'm
- 14:05Speaker 10: just gonna throw out a couple of names like a
- 14:07Speaker 10: Beata Baal or Deck Delons or somebody like that, would
- 14:10Speaker 10: you do that? And then I go on up and
- 14:12Speaker 10: listen for my number four to day it's thirty three.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Uh do a thing, all right, sounds good, thirty three
- 14:20Speaker 1: door set. I like, I like, I mean, there's no
- 14:24Speaker 1: the thirty three. Okay, So yeah, he's he's the only
- 14:27Speaker 1: thirty three that really really matters. I do remember they
- 14:32Speaker 1: had we had a uh Nate Jones worth thirty three.
- 14:36Speaker 1: I think that's Nate Jones did war thirty three. Still
- 14:39Speaker 1: thirty three actually as a rough, yes, wrough number is
- 14:44Speaker 1: thirty three two. Fun fact, that's a that's a good one.
- 14:47Speaker 1: That's a good I didn't know that, didn't realize that
- 14:49Speaker 1: was his number. Uh yeah, Nate Jones uh knocked out
- 14:54Speaker 1: Brett Favre in the game in two thousand and seven,
- 14:56Speaker 1: which was actually not a good thing because Aaron Rodgers
- 14:59Speaker 1: came in almost won the game. I'm sure McCarthy remembers
- 15:02Speaker 1: that one on the other side. But yeah, that's the
- 15:05Speaker 1: game that Jeremy plays. Throws out a number and then
- 15:07Speaker 1: and then I'll throw out another player Nate Jones. Jason
- 15:11Speaker 1: Bell is another corner. I remember he played back in
- 15:13Speaker 1: like two thousand and one. But good things that you said.
- 15:18Speaker 1: The one thing I absolutely do not agree with, though,
- 15:21Speaker 1: is the Dalvin Cook part. Dalvin Cook can't They can't
- 15:23Speaker 1: get him on the field here on a team that
- 15:25Speaker 1: can't run the ball. Nobody else in the league. You know,
- 15:28Speaker 1: there's been injuries around the league running backs. We see
- 15:31Speaker 1: it all the time. If you play fantasy football, you
- 15:33Speaker 1: know what's out there. I mean, like you're I guarantee
- 15:36Speaker 1: you you're like, man, should I pick up deuce? I mean,
- 15:38Speaker 1: like that's all you can do. There's nobody out there
- 15:40Speaker 1: that being said in reality football. All these injuries at
- 15:43Speaker 1: running back and no one's knocking on that door to say, hey,
- 15:46Speaker 1: let's let's get Dalvin Cook over here. So I don't
- 15:49Speaker 1: think he's coming back to this team, maybe not in
- 15:52Speaker 1: any team. I don't know. I mean, this was kind
- 15:54Speaker 1: of the proven year for him. I don't I don't
- 15:57Speaker 1: think it's worked out. Obviously, he's not played much and
- 16:00Speaker 1: hasn't been much of a factor. I think they need
- 16:02Speaker 1: to get young running backs, fresh legs in here too,
- 16:07Speaker 1: you know, two of them probably to help. All right,
- 16:10Speaker 1: let's go to Randy in Texas, Canada. What's going on
- 16:13Speaker 1: brother going, how are you doing here?
- 16:16Speaker 8: We go do for you and missus Carolina Usa. I
- 16:21Speaker 8: hope he got hit ten, hired to lay down, come home,
- 16:23Speaker 8: keep it between the line, all right. So this is
- 16:26Speaker 8: where I see this game going. I think this is
- 16:30Speaker 8: just me. I think this game is more important Ceedee
- 16:33Speaker 8: Lamb than it is in Dallas Cowboys. And what I
- 16:35Speaker 8: mean by that is he already had a head to
- 16:38Speaker 8: head with Justin Jefferson. I think that was last year,
- 16:42Speaker 8: and he came out ahead in the numbers. And you
- 16:45Speaker 8: know he wants to be considered the best. Well, those
- 16:49Speaker 8: two guys always seem to be the two. Him and Chase,
- 16:52Speaker 8: I should say from the Bengals are always the two
- 16:55Speaker 8: they tend to throw out there a little ahead of him.
- 16:58Speaker 8: If he can go out there and have him a
- 17:02Speaker 8: really good game, they might want to start throwing his
- 17:05Speaker 8: name out there with the two of those guys. But
- 17:08Speaker 8: hopefully he didn't go out there and land on the shoulder.
- 17:10Speaker 8: Yeah you know what I mean. But if he can
- 17:13Speaker 8: go out there and show out, he can make a
- 17:15Speaker 8: push for getting his name in there, because they always,
- 17:18Speaker 8: you know, they are always gonna say he's one of
- 17:20Speaker 8: the top receivers, but they always say Jefferson and Chase. Yeah,
- 17:25Speaker 8: if you listen to everybody talk and so I'll go
- 17:27Speaker 8: see what your thoughts were on that.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Yeah. Thanks, thanks for the call, Randy. I appreciate it
- 17:33Speaker 1: all right, man, keep it going over there. Christ to
- 17:41Speaker 1: me funny official truck or show of the Dallas Cowboys.
- 17:45Speaker 1: It is it is. We just I mean, we're gonna
- 17:48Speaker 1: cause Rex here just honking at people like what why
- 17:51Speaker 1: do you hank at?
- 17:51Speaker 11: Mean?
- 17:51Speaker 1: Well I was, I was on storyline, don't you know. Yeah.
- 17:57Speaker 1: The thing about that that what you're saying, Randy is
- 18:00Speaker 1: last year was last year because it was a little
- 18:04Speaker 1: bit more significant for him to have those head to
- 18:07Speaker 1: head moments. I'm not saying that the competitive juices are
- 18:10Speaker 1: not flowing anymore for CD Lamb. I'm not saying that.
- 18:13Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is is who's the best set receiver?
- 18:17Speaker 1: And I'm this, I'm that, Like the money talks and
- 18:22Speaker 1: it talked and it's there and it's in his bank account,
- 18:25Speaker 1: so you know, he he got that. He proved that.
- 18:29Speaker 1: So whether he's the top not the top whatever, like
- 18:33Speaker 1: he's getting paid like it. So I don't know if
- 18:35Speaker 1: he considers this game like you know, as a man,
- 18:40Speaker 1: you know, the macho part of it. Yeah, yeah, you
- 18:43Speaker 1: want to you want to show that out. And I'm
- 18:45Speaker 1: not saying that he doesn't, okay, but I'm just saying
- 18:48Speaker 1: how much it matters at the end of the day financially.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Probably not, But yeah, this is one of those showcase
- 18:55Speaker 1: games you because what happens is is you know what,
- 18:59Speaker 1: I'm taking it back. You're right, Randy, You're right, because
- 19:01Speaker 1: this is this is the thing. It doesn't matter for
- 19:03Speaker 1: a contract standpoint. But but the game will be over
- 19:06Speaker 1: Sports Center will have this split screen and it'll say
- 19:10Speaker 1: Chase nine catches one hundred and fourteen yards and a touchdown.
- 19:14Speaker 1: You don't want it to say two for twenty seven
- 19:16Speaker 1: over here with CD lamb. You don't want that because
- 19:18Speaker 1: then they'll that's when they'll throw money out there and
- 19:21Speaker 1: all that. So no, no, no, Maybe a big deal for Chase,
- 19:25Speaker 1: but I think this is this is a big game
- 19:27Speaker 1: for for CD, just because they need him and he
- 19:30Speaker 1: knows that, and he's playing through his shoulder injury. He
- 19:32Speaker 1: says he's gonna play. I respect that. I'm sure you
- 19:36Speaker 1: know he could be in the shut it down mode
- 19:38Speaker 1: if he wanted to, but he's not doing that, so
- 19:41Speaker 1: I respect that. All right, let's keep it going here
- 19:44Speaker 1: one more before we go to break. Greg and Sacramento.
- 19:48Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Nick, Hello Gregory.
- 19:53Speaker 9: So there was something I called in earlier this weekend.
- 19:55Speaker 9: I forgot to mention last week that thing you guys
- 19:57Speaker 9: did for the kids where you had him do the
- 19:59Speaker 9: read at the end of the show last week. That
- 20:01Speaker 9: was freaking awesome.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Thanks.
- 20:03Speaker 8: Wow, I love that.
- 20:05Speaker 9: That was so cool.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Well, that was that was my son Jacob. And then
- 20:09Speaker 1: Chris is two kids, and they and Presley and Logan
- 20:12Speaker 1: and they they were in the back working with with
- 20:15Speaker 1: with dad and Jacob was here and then when they
- 20:17Speaker 1: saw him pop on the screen, they were like, oh no,
- 20:20Speaker 1: oh heck. And so they came in here and it
- 20:24Speaker 1: was it was it was cool.
- 20:25Speaker 12: Uh no, that was really cool.
- 20:28Speaker 9: I have my son Benji. We were listening to it
- 20:30Speaker 9: the next day and he was like, who are those kids?
- 20:33Speaker 9: And I was like, those those are their kids? Like
- 20:34Speaker 9: that that's Jake. I think him and Jake are about
- 20:36Speaker 9: the same. You said Jacobs eight, right, he's nine.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Yeah, he's nine, he's nine.
- 20:40Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, he's eight, And uh and I don't know
- 20:43Speaker 9: if you remember, but when I met you this past
- 20:46Speaker 9: training camp signed for him.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Oh yeah on the fence, Yeah yeah, throwing that football,
- 20:54Speaker 1: didn't I.
- 20:56Speaker 9: No, it was good. He he loved it, like he
- 20:59Speaker 9: every cow these games. He goes and gets his football
- 21:01Speaker 9: that was signed by you guys, and he just he
- 21:04Speaker 9: loves it.
- 21:04Speaker 12: Man.
- 21:05Speaker 9: So I again, I appreciate you for that. And just
- 21:08Speaker 9: I just thought that was really cool. How you guys
- 21:09Speaker 9: have the kids do to read? They did a good job.
- 21:12Speaker 9: Tell him they killed it.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it. And and for I don't know
- 21:16Speaker 1: about at Chris's house, but at my house, like that
- 21:19Speaker 1: night that was a Wednesday, we had Thanksgiving or at
- 21:22Speaker 1: our family's house in Stanford, Texas, and that that got
- 21:26Speaker 1: passed around a lot like that clip was was shared
- 21:29Speaker 1: on YouTube quite a quite a bit. So uh, I
- 21:32Speaker 1: don't know what our radios look like for that show,
- 21:34Speaker 1: but it's it's gotten a lot of fews, especially from
- 21:36Speaker 1: the from the nine year olds.
- 21:38Speaker 12: So all right, that's awesome, that's awesome.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Yeah, anything else I.
- 21:45Speaker 9: Do just a quick question for you and and maybe
- 21:47Speaker 9: you know, maybe don't, but can you tell guy, let
- 21:50Speaker 9: us know what your thoughts are of them not not
- 21:53Speaker 9: utilizing Turpin because we've seen terpins what he can do, right,
- 21:56Speaker 9: especially like in like a screen game or like a
- 22:00Speaker 9: flat flant pass type of thing. So why is for me,
- 22:04Speaker 9: I can't understand why they don't use him more or
- 22:06Speaker 9: at least the threat of Turpin right, Like, can't you
- 22:09Speaker 9: just at least have him out there for some place
- 22:11Speaker 9: to make the defense respect that he's there, and the
- 22:14Speaker 9: minute they don't, they can just dump it off to
- 22:16Speaker 9: him and he'll go, you know, use his ton return
- 22:18Speaker 9: skills and chick off return skills and just take another
- 22:21Speaker 9: one to the house. Yeah, like me, I can't understand
- 22:24Speaker 9: why they don't do that. So that was the other question.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a good I think it's a
- 22:27Speaker 1: good question, Greg, Thank you for the call. You know,
- 22:31Speaker 1: his first year I understood it. You know, he was
- 22:34Speaker 1: he was just coming back from the USFL. He was
- 22:37Speaker 1: on a kick return, learning the offense. Second year, getting
- 22:42Speaker 1: more involved in the offense and and you know, doing
- 22:45Speaker 1: some runs and catching the ball. Thirty year now I
- 22:51Speaker 1: think he could do it more. I don't think that.
- 22:55Speaker 1: I don't think it's a whole he's trying to learn it,
- 22:58Speaker 1: and he's got to figure out they don't want to
- 23:00Speaker 1: too much on a plate. No, he could, he could
- 23:03Speaker 1: do it now, I mean, they could get him more involved.
- 23:06Speaker 1: I do think there's an agenda. You know, they want
- 23:08Speaker 1: to see Tolbert. You know that they want to see Mingo. Now,
- 23:13Speaker 1: maybe Brooks, but there's nobody that has that kind of
- 23:16Speaker 1: speed like Turpin, and I think this team just needs
- 23:20Speaker 1: a juice, needs the playmakers. And even when he's not
- 23:23Speaker 1: getting the ball, I think his speed is scary enough
- 23:26Speaker 1: to get people's attention, so you can decoy him if
- 23:29Speaker 1: you need to. He's got that kind of speed. I
- 23:32Speaker 1: think I think it needs to be used more. So
- 23:35Speaker 1: I can't give you a great answer of why. I'd
- 23:38Speaker 1: like to see it a little bit more there as well.
- 23:40Speaker 1: All right, let's go to break here on Cowboys storyline.

- 26:18Speaker 15: Hey, how's it going.
- 26:19Speaker 1: What's up in Chicago, Illinois?
- 26:20Speaker 7: Right?
- 26:21Speaker 12: Yes, sir?
- 26:22Speaker 15: Yeah, So I'm active duty military, so I'm in North Carolina,
- 26:25Speaker 15: but I always claim Chicago.
- 26:26Speaker 12: But I get it, you know, you know how it is.
- 26:29Speaker 1: I do, I do, And I don't know if that's
- 26:31Speaker 1: the way for a lot of cities, but I know this. Uh,
- 26:34Speaker 1: if you're from Chicago, you're always from Chicago, doesn't matter
- 26:37Speaker 1: where you live.
- 26:37Speaker 15: So yeah, that's right, that's right.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up?
- 26:41Speaker 6: Not much?
- 26:41Speaker 15: So I'm kind of with a perfect week. I got
- 26:43Speaker 15: five for five this week.
- 26:44Speaker 1: First time you got five too.
- 26:47Speaker 15: I got five to five for five this week.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Man, I didn't I made it such a big deal,
- 26:52Speaker 1: are you okay? I mean that that's that's cool. You know,
- 26:54Speaker 1: I can get defensives like Robbie did.
- 26:57Speaker 15: Thanks Chris, I appreciate that.
- 26:58Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 26:58Speaker 15: No, I I took some leave from work for a week,
- 27:02Speaker 15: you know, so just being at home makes it easier
- 27:04Speaker 15: to call in than being at my desk. But wow,
- 27:07Speaker 15: that's all that it comes down to, you know, just
- 27:09Speaker 15: being able to watch on Twitter and X and be
- 27:12Speaker 15: able to call.
- 27:13Speaker 13: In, you know.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, yeah, I'm going back and I'm looking at it,
- 27:16Speaker 1: and you're always kind of at the end too.
- 27:18Speaker 10: Usually usually yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Well I guess that one kind of slipped through the cracks.
- 27:25Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was every day, you know, I've
- 27:27Speaker 1: been writing. When you write Cocoa beats Down, you remember
- 27:30Speaker 1: it was Chicago, you know. But hey, good stuff, good stuff,
- 27:34Speaker 1: you guys, You guys showing some consistency. I love it.
- 27:38Speaker 1: What's that matter?
- 27:39Speaker 15: Sure, ain't not much. I'm with you on Zach Martin.
- 27:41Speaker 15: I'm just gonna wait and see how that one plays out.
- 27:43Speaker 15: I hope, I hope it's not the last we see
- 27:45Speaker 15: of him. But more importantly, I hope he wins that
- 27:47Speaker 15: Walter Payton Man of the Year award because that's that's
- 27:50Speaker 15: really something that speaks volumes to his character.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 27:55Speaker 15: Game Monday night, So I'm going Cowboys thirty Bengals twenty four.
- 27:59Speaker 15: My bull prediction for the game is, I think we're
- 28:01Speaker 15: going to have two defense special teams touchdowns. I think
- 28:04Speaker 15: Turpin's getting one. I think we're taking one back to
- 28:06Speaker 15: the house, whether that's Digs or Bland, I don't know who.
- 28:09Speaker 15: Maybe lewis the one's going back to the house too,
- 28:11Speaker 15: And I'll get off the air, Nick for talking to you.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Go Cowboys, good stuff. Thirty to twenty four seems like
- 28:17Speaker 1: an overtime game, you know, with a touchdown at the end.
- 28:21Speaker 1: How cool would that be if you win? I mean,
- 28:23Speaker 1: like that would be awesome if you had like a
- 28:26Speaker 1: kickoff return in overtime to win the game and somebody
- 28:30Speaker 1: like Turpin doing that. But yeah, I could see because
- 28:35Speaker 1: I could see some defensive touchdowns here, you know, And
- 28:38Speaker 1: it all starts with the pressure. And you look at
- 28:40Speaker 1: Pittsburgh scored last weekend. I think it was because of pressure.
- 28:42Speaker 1: I mean they got a sack, fumble, picked it up,
- 28:44Speaker 1: scoop and score. That's what it's gonna take, you know,
- 28:47Speaker 1: it takes that kind of stuff. That's where that's where
- 28:49Speaker 1: it starts. I mean, I think Land and Digs are
- 28:52Speaker 1: really good cover corners, but I think the fact that
- 28:55Speaker 1: they they played, you know, last season and the year
- 28:58Speaker 1: before with Parsons doing this thing, I think that's where
- 29:01Speaker 1: it starts. And that's what's going to have to happen
- 29:04Speaker 1: in this game right here, And watch out for that
- 29:07Speaker 1: left tackle. Is it Orlando? Is it Orlando Brown? Brown?
- 29:11Speaker 1: I know his last name is Brown. He Uh, he'll
- 29:16Speaker 1: he'll do a false start on you that they don't
- 29:18Speaker 1: always call it. They showed it in the in the
- 29:20Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game I watched, and they actually highlighted it. I mean,
- 29:24Speaker 1: he will, he will jump out there first before that
- 29:26Speaker 1: ball snapped. So I'm sure it's something that the officials
- 29:31Speaker 1: will be alerted to. Whether or not they call it.
- 29:33Speaker 1: It's going to be under them, but watch that for sure.
- 29:36Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Gary in New Mexico.
- 29:39Speaker 5: Hey, Nick, how you doing?
- 29:40Speaker 1: Good man?
- 29:42Speaker 5: I've got a trivia question for you today that if
- 29:44Speaker 5: you can answer this, then you are at an elite level.
- 29:48Speaker 5: All right, all right, let's go back. Cowboys Bengals nineteen
- 29:51Speaker 5: ninety one. Week seven. Cowboys are hosting the Bengals at
- 29:54Speaker 5: Texas Stadium. A Cowboy running back gives Dallas the lead
- 29:58Speaker 5: with a thirty yard touchdown on run. He wore number
- 30:01Speaker 5: forty six. Ricky Blake, Oh you're good. Oh that was good.
- 30:05Speaker 5: Only touchdown the dude ever scored was in that game
- 30:07Speaker 5: against the Bengals. But you're right, Ricky Blake.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Hey, hey, I'll throw it back at you and you
- 30:12Speaker 1: might have it in front of you. Who what defensive
- 30:14Speaker 1: player had a touchdown in that game?
- 30:17Speaker 5: Was it Dixon Edwards?
- 30:18Speaker 1: There was?
- 30:18Speaker 5: Yeah, I had an interception. I did not, That was
- 30:21Speaker 5: straight off my memory.
- 30:22Speaker 8: There you go, did not have that in.
- 30:23Speaker 4: Front of him.
- 30:24Speaker 1: What was the score of that game.
- 30:26Speaker 5: Nineteen ninety one? Thirty five to twenty three?
- 30:29Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 30:30Speaker 5: I would have think it was thirty five to twenty three.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I would have said thirty five twenty four. But I
- 30:36Speaker 1: mean you probably. I think you're right.
- 30:37Speaker 5: I think that the thing was thirty five twenty. Oh.
- 30:40Speaker 5: That was a great time, man. They were just starting
- 30:42Speaker 5: to get gone.
- 30:42Speaker 1: It was fun in fact season.
- 30:45Speaker 5: Hey, I got a bonus one for you real quick.
- 30:47Speaker 5: Which cowboy? Which cowboy legend comes from Cincinnati, Ohio?
- 30:52Speaker 1: Oh?
- 30:54Speaker 5: Cowboy legends? Hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio?
- 30:58Speaker 1: Man, are we talking like? Is he in the Hall
- 31:02Speaker 1: of Fame?
- 31:03Speaker 5: Oh yeah?
- 31:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
- 31:05Speaker 5: Oh yeah. This is the greatest football player to ever
- 31:07Speaker 5: don cleats and this is Roger Stalbach.
- 31:10Speaker 1: I was gonna say Rayfield, right, I didn't. I didn't
- 31:13Speaker 1: know that. I didn't. I've never heard that in my
- 31:15Speaker 1: life that Roger starback was from Cincinnati.
- 31:17Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 31:18Speaker 5: Roger Stalbach hometown Cincinnati, Ohio. So anyway, all right, let's
- 31:21Speaker 5: talk about this year's squad. Yeah, Monday night, man, isn't
- 31:25Speaker 5: it nice? First of all, it's nice to still be
- 31:28Speaker 5: having a meaningful game right after the way the season's gone.
- 31:31Speaker 5: To even be having a meaningful game at this point
- 31:34Speaker 5: is impressive.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Agreed.
- 31:36Speaker 12: I don't know.
- 31:37Speaker 5: I think the Bengals are better than their record indicates.
- 31:40Speaker 5: I don't know if Dallas is as good as what
- 31:43Speaker 5: we've seen the last two weeks. I just don't know.
- 31:45Speaker 5: But we're gonna know after Monday night. Yep, biggest test man,
- 31:49Speaker 5: And if if I don't know that they can. But
- 31:52Speaker 5: I'm excited to see Bland and Digs play together. They're
- 31:55Speaker 5: gonna need every bit of that to stop Joe Burrow.
- 31:58Speaker 5: If they can figure out a way to win that
- 32:00Speaker 5: game Monday night, then then we can start looking at
- 32:03Speaker 5: the tie breakers and the time and all that fun stuff.
- 32:06Speaker 5: Let's just see how it plays Monday night, man. But hey,
- 32:08Speaker 5: I'm excited about it. It's good to have a meaningful game.
- 32:11Speaker 5: Enjoy the show, and thank you for taking my car,
- 32:13Speaker 5: all right.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Thank you, Gary. I'll say this, and not to get
- 32:16Speaker 1: too far ahead, but you know this, Uh, if they
- 32:22Speaker 1: beat the Bengals, you know, let's don't gloss over anything.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I mean, Carolina is playing, They're they're not playing well,
- 32:32Speaker 1: They're not winning a lot of games. But like Kansas
- 32:34Speaker 1: City went in there and needed last second field goal,
- 32:37Speaker 1: I believe I think the Bucks went in there. It
- 32:39Speaker 1: was overtime. You know, the Bucks that would be after Carolina.
- 32:44Speaker 1: They're not they don't have a great record, but I
- 32:46Speaker 1: know this. The the Eagles have lost two games. The
- 32:49Speaker 1: Lions have lost one and both to the Bucks. So
- 32:52Speaker 1: they're doing something over there, and the same with Carolina.
- 32:55Speaker 1: So my point is is that you know, you've got
- 32:59Speaker 1: three games in a road that are winnable games very
- 33:02Speaker 1: losable as well, and so the Cowboys are going to
- 33:05Speaker 1: have to just keep this thing going. It would be
- 33:07Speaker 1: very very Cowboys like of this season to go beat
- 33:10Speaker 1: the Bengals on Monday night and then go to Carolina
- 33:12Speaker 1: and lose. So again, what my point is, I'm not
- 33:16Speaker 1: trying to get ahead of Cincinnati. I'm just saying, you know,
- 33:19Speaker 1: there's nothing easy from here on out. There's been nothing
- 33:22Speaker 1: easy this year, and so they this is gonna be fun,
- 33:26Speaker 1: but this is this game will will be I think
- 33:29Speaker 1: one that'll say, all right, I think we can get
- 33:32Speaker 1: serious now, I mean six and seven. It's still still
- 33:35Speaker 1: gonna be an uphill climb if they beat the Bengals,
- 33:37Speaker 1: but it'll be to the point where, hey, they can
- 33:40Speaker 1: go win this game. They go and beat Joe Burrow
- 33:43Speaker 1: in this offense, then I think that that, you know,
- 33:45Speaker 1: the sky's the limit for this for this team. Well, no,
- 33:49Speaker 1: it's it's not the sky's the limit, but you know,
- 33:52Speaker 1: they they should be able to to keep winning as
- 33:56Speaker 1: long as they stay, you know, focused with that defense,
- 33:59Speaker 1: because it's gonna be about the defense for them to
- 34:01Speaker 1: win this game, all right, Dylan, Northport, Florida's next. What's up?
- 34:04Speaker 16: Hey, how's it going?
- 34:05Speaker 4: Man?
- 34:06Speaker 12: Good?
- 34:06Speaker 1: How are you good?
- 34:08Speaker 12: Then?
- 34:08Speaker 16: A little under the weather, but feeling better, So I
- 34:10Speaker 16: thought i'd call in. I heard you guys had a
- 34:12Speaker 16: banger of a spaces the other night. Sorry I missed
- 34:14Speaker 16: a little disappointed I wasn't there, But glad you joined
- 34:18Speaker 16: in and had some fun.
- 34:18Speaker 1: Now, yeah, it was. It was fun. It was cool
- 34:20Speaker 1: because like on this show, there's a cast of characters.
- 34:24Speaker 1: We kind of know who they are and we what
- 34:26Speaker 1: you know, what they're gonna bring and all that. And
- 34:28Speaker 1: then to go on to the spaces and listen to
- 34:32Speaker 1: three or four others that I had never even heard before.
- 34:34Speaker 1: They can't call the show for whatever the reason. I mean,
- 34:37Speaker 1: we got some there's some characters over there too. Now
- 34:40Speaker 1: that that would be. They'd give Rob a run for
- 34:43Speaker 1: his money if they called on here. Rob and Randy.
- 34:45Speaker 1: It was that type of guys. So hopefully they could
- 34:49Speaker 1: call in at some point too and add a little
- 34:51Speaker 1: bit more flavor.
- 34:52Speaker 16: Yeah, Daveyan is one of those guys.
- 34:54Speaker 12: Man.
- 34:54Speaker 16: I think Travis purposefully goes out of his way to
- 34:56Speaker 16: like set them off. It's hysterical, but group for sure.
- 35:00Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, Davy boy, he was. He was bringing
- 35:04Speaker 1: some heat there.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Yeah, I love him.
- 35:06Speaker 5: It was good.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, he's gonna.
- 35:08Speaker 16: He's gonna be one of the guys we bring down
- 35:10Speaker 16: to training camp next year and ox that's the plan.
- 35:13Speaker 16: He's gonna come with us.
- 35:14Speaker 1: So that's cool. That's that's gonna be insane if y'all
- 35:17Speaker 1: do that, you know, I can't, Yeah, imagine.
- 35:20Speaker 16: For that and then you plan it up now, So
- 35:23Speaker 16: I mean, you.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Could do spaces without even getting on on Twitter. You
- 35:26Speaker 1: can just y'all. That's racy what it'll be. It'll just
- 35:29Speaker 1: be everyone sitting around and talking and drinking. Probably, yeah,
- 35:35Speaker 1: so all right, what's up man?
- 35:37Speaker 16: For sure, I don't know if it'll be ninety style
- 35:39Speaker 16: Cowboys parties, but it'll be pretty fun, pretty good time.
- 35:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 35:44Speaker 12: So just real quick on Mike McCarthy.
- 35:46Speaker 16: But the Bengals Mike McCarthy, you know, if you want
- 35:49Speaker 16: to move on from him, that's fine. I'm not going
- 35:51Speaker 16: to stand four against it.
- 35:53Speaker 8: Just be prepared.
- 35:54Speaker 16: Twenty twenty five probably won't be a Super Bowl competitive
- 35:57Speaker 16: team at that point if you move on from Mike McCarthy.
- 36:00Speaker 16: I think only twice in the history of the NFL
- 36:02Speaker 16: a first year head coach has won a Super Bowl
- 36:04Speaker 16: with his new team, and one of those is Gary
- 36:06Speaker 16: Kubiak with Peyton Manning in twenty fifteen. So probably gonna
- 36:09Speaker 16: take a couple of years to get the system and
- 36:11Speaker 16: everything you want and play from head coaches perspective before
- 36:13Speaker 16: you're really a true contender. So to keep that in mind,
- 36:17Speaker 16: and then the game this Monday night, you know, I
- 36:21Speaker 16: think the best unit on the field is going to
- 36:22Speaker 16: be the Cowboys defense that night. Now, jar Bro Joe
- 36:26Speaker 16: Burrow has been playing really, really well and like he
- 36:29Speaker 16: has a ton of weird stats, and I'm sure they'll
- 36:30Speaker 16: show him during the game where like he's doing stuff
- 36:33Speaker 16: that is like historically good, but the team's still losing,
- 36:36Speaker 16: which is a weird record, the kind of setting for
- 36:38Speaker 16: how good they've been from the quarterback position but still
- 36:41Speaker 16: losing games. So that being said, I still think this defense,
- 36:45Speaker 16: Cowboys defense, with all these guys are getting healthy, is
- 36:46Speaker 16: going to be the best unit on the field.
- 36:49Speaker 12: Defense.
- 36:50Speaker 16: Even against the bad Bengals defense were abling a struggle
- 36:53Speaker 16: to you know, put up more than twenty to twenty
- 36:55Speaker 16: four points on their own. So you're gonna need help,
- 36:58Speaker 16: some help in the special team, some helping the defense,
- 37:00Speaker 16: maybe a score, maybe some short fields. So my eyes
- 37:02Speaker 16: are firmly placed on the to be that best unit
- 37:05Speaker 16: that they should be on the field Monday night. I
- 37:07Speaker 16: think the Cowboys have a chance to pull one out here.
- 37:09Speaker 1: I did too. I like what Micah said, you know,
- 37:14Speaker 1: I mean he was saying, he was basically saying Joe
- 37:16Speaker 1: Burrow should be the MVP of the league. I mean,
- 37:18Speaker 1: how that good that he's been obviously not gonna happen,
- 37:21Speaker 1: but he said he's gotta be the best player on
- 37:23Speaker 1: the field, Like of all the guys coming in. He
- 37:26Speaker 1: has to be the best, and I don't disagree with him.
- 37:28Speaker 1: He does have to be. He has to be better
- 37:30Speaker 1: than anybody he's facing in front of him, the double team,
- 37:33Speaker 1: and when he's doing that, it should free up Osa
- 37:35Speaker 1: to do his thing and overshown as well.
- 37:39Speaker 12: Yeah, I agree, man, all right.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Dylan, good stuff. Appreciate that we're gonna go to break

- 39:16Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the callers. We got a
- 39:19Speaker 1: first time caller here, Robert in Clarksfield, Virginia.
- 39:23Speaker 12: Robert, Hello, Nick, How you doing man?
- 39:26Speaker 1: Good man? How are you doing?
- 39:28Speaker 12: I'm doing great. I'm in Clarksville, Virginia, which is about an.
- 39:31Speaker 16: Hour north of Durham, North Carolina.
- 39:34Speaker 12: But I am a Texas kid through and through. I
- 39:36Speaker 12: went to Dallas Jesuits lived in Allen, Texas. My dad
- 39:42Speaker 12: used to take us to those Allen Eagles football games
- 39:44Speaker 12: when we were little kids. They still had wooden bleachers.
- 39:47Speaker 12: Oh yeah, you know the stadium they have there.
- 39:50Speaker 1: A little different now, huh heck.
- 39:52Speaker 12: Yeah. But you and I have something in commons.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Give here we go?
- 39:56Speaker 12: Game is there?
- 39:58Speaker 1: We go? We gotta go? Here we go?
- 39:59Speaker 7: Ga.
- 40:00Speaker 12: Now, that was kind of the same as you. In school.
- 40:04Speaker 12: I was more about the Cowboys than I was about school.
- 40:08Speaker 12: I used to sit in the library there and Jesuit
- 40:10Speaker 12: and read the Dallas Times, Harold and the Dallas Morning
- 40:13Speaker 12: News sports sections in the study Carrol, when I should
- 40:16Speaker 12: have been reading my books and doing my homework. So
- 40:19Speaker 12: we got that in common. Listen, I'll be quick. I
- 40:24Speaker 12: got a comment the idea that you know, a player
- 40:29Speaker 12: comes off an injury and you know it takes them
- 40:32Speaker 12: a while to get back. You know, they they got
- 40:34Speaker 12: to knock the rust off, They got to get their
- 40:36Speaker 12: confidence back. I feel like the same thing maybe applies
- 40:39Speaker 12: to coaches, and specifically with Zimmer. You know, he wasn't
- 40:45Speaker 12: coaching before this year. At least he was off a
- 40:48Speaker 12: year or so. Right, Yeah, last game, I can't remember
- 40:52Speaker 12: the moment, but they showed him on the sideline and
- 40:57Speaker 12: first part of the year when they were getting there,
- 41:00Speaker 12: let's kicked. Uh. I thought he just looked like a
- 41:03Speaker 12: bewildered old man. But there was a moment in this
- 41:06Speaker 12: last game when they when they showed him his face,
- 41:10Speaker 12: I saw a glimmer in the eye of Zimmer and
- 41:13Speaker 12: I felt like he's back.
- 41:16Speaker 14: Man.
- 41:16Speaker 12: I don't know if that's because his players are figuring
- 41:19Speaker 12: it out, or because he's figuring it out, or if
- 41:21Speaker 12: it's both. Yeah, but I feel like, you know, there's
- 41:24Speaker 12: been a lot of talk about how the defense is
- 41:26Speaker 12: coming on, but I feel like maybe he just needed
- 41:29Speaker 12: to knock the rust off a little bit. So that's
- 41:32Speaker 12: my comment. I like your input on that. I'll hang
- 41:35Speaker 12: up and listen.
- 41:35Speaker 1: I think I think that's a good point. Thank you
- 41:37Speaker 1: for the call, Robert. Good to have you on the
- 41:39Speaker 1: show for the first time. You know, that's that's a
- 41:44Speaker 1: I don't even know if I've thought of it that
- 41:46Speaker 1: way as far as you're knocking the rust off a
- 41:48Speaker 1: little bit. But I think more than anything, whether the
- 41:52Speaker 1: rust comes from that, the defensive play caller is he's
- 41:55Speaker 1: got to figure out who's he calling plays for and
- 41:59Speaker 1: what can they do? What can these guys do? He's
- 42:02Speaker 1: got unique players. He said it himself that Overshown has
- 42:05Speaker 1: a unique skill set. You know Parsons does as well.
- 42:09Speaker 1: So how do you how do you figure out the
- 42:11Speaker 1: right way to utilize these guys? Where to move them
- 42:15Speaker 1: Micah when he came back, because he wasn't moving around
- 42:18Speaker 1: his first four games as far as like where they
- 42:20Speaker 1: were lining them up. Since he's come back, we've seen
- 42:23Speaker 1: him all over the field, which means the rest of
- 42:26Speaker 1: the guys are moving as well. We're seeing Mozzi play
- 42:29Speaker 1: a lot better, We're seeing you know, the linebackers. I
- 42:33Speaker 1: think Kendricks has played better here in this last few games.
- 42:38Speaker 1: The safeties are playing, but I think they're all sort
- 42:41Speaker 1: of buying into what he's doing. And when when that
- 42:44Speaker 1: can happen, when the guys are buying into what the
- 42:47Speaker 1: coach is trying to sell, then he's just in his bag.
- 42:50Speaker 1: Now he's just calling plays. He's calling and he's having
- 42:52Speaker 1: fun with it and all that. But as I as
- 42:56Speaker 1: I say, you know, look at the quarterbacks that they faced,
- 43:01Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks that they've beaten this year, either are
- 43:05Speaker 1: not the quarterback for their team right now, or they
- 43:08Speaker 1: weren't the quarterback for their team last year, meaning that
- 43:10Speaker 1: they were a rookie. Jane Daniels, this is still first
- 43:13Speaker 1: year for him. He's playing well. He could be Rookie
- 43:15Speaker 1: of the Year, could be, but you know, he's still
- 43:19Speaker 1: young guy and he was banged up. Justin Field's not
- 43:21Speaker 1: the quarterbacks for Pittsburgh. Shaun Watson isn't the quarterback for
- 43:25Speaker 1: for Cleveland. Drew Lock, I don't know if he is
- 43:28Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Giants. He wasn't before. He's the
- 43:30Speaker 1: third quarterback. He's Drew Lock. You know, I'm I'm missing
- 43:34Speaker 1: somebody here. You know, Daniel Jones is not even with
- 43:38Speaker 1: the Giants anymore. That's that those are the Those are
- 43:41Speaker 1: the guys that they they've beaten this year at quarterbacks.
- 43:44Speaker 1: So beat Joe Burrow Monday night and then we don't
- 43:47Speaker 1: talk about that anymore. That's that's the best, you know,
- 43:50Speaker 1: pocket passer in the NFL probably right now. So go
- 43:53Speaker 1: go beat them. But I think that this defense is
- 43:56Speaker 1: playing well enough where they can go do that. All right,
- 43:58Speaker 1: let's go to Rick in Massachusetts. Rick, what's up, hey?
- 44:02Speaker 11: Nick? How you doing good? How are you doing I'm good.
- 44:05Speaker 11: I'm good. I'm at work as usual. I'm on my
- 44:08Speaker 11: lunch break.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Okay.
- 44:11Speaker 11: So I was saying that, you know, shout out to
- 44:14Speaker 11: Zak Martin Lee Man, the nominee for the Man of
- 44:18Speaker 11: the Year. Sure and sad news that's getting you know,
- 44:22Speaker 11: its gonna be out for the year. Hopefully it's back
- 44:25Speaker 11: four a year, just to you know, go out in
- 44:29Speaker 11: his own terms. But my sup of things that heard
- 44:34Speaker 11: that that the last eight weeks, Dallas Cowboys are like
- 44:39Speaker 11: the Dallas Coby defense is like top ten. So that's
- 44:43Speaker 11: problemsing and my predictions. I think the Cowboys are gonna win.
- 44:48Speaker 11: I keep saying all week there's been thirty twenty eight,
- 44:50Speaker 11: so that's what I'm gonna go with.
- 44:52Speaker 1: All right, thirty twenty eight. I like it.
- 44:55Speaker 11: Thirty yep, yeah, well yeah. Last thing was I just
- 45:02Speaker 11: thought of this thing that I was thinking of the
- 45:04Speaker 11: Josh Allen play this time. I think it's going to
- 45:07Speaker 11: be on defense, big intercepts. It's like the throws ladders
- 45:13Speaker 11: back to the bland and he rubbed it in for
- 45:15Speaker 11: a dutchdowk.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Uh would that be a pick six? I wonder how
- 45:22Speaker 1: that would go there? For uh? For Bland. I don't
- 45:26Speaker 1: think it would be a pick six. It would just
- 45:27Speaker 1: be a six. I mean, he got Yeah, I don't
- 45:31Speaker 1: know if I've seen seen that that play for a touchdown.
- 45:38Speaker 1: I have actually seen that. I've seen that, but it
- 45:40Speaker 1: was it wasn't what the Cowboys with the Falcons did
- 45:42Speaker 1: that back when Dion Dion had an interception like that
- 45:46Speaker 1: or Tim Tim mckaire from the Falcons picked it off
- 45:49Speaker 1: later with it to Dion. I don't even know how
- 45:51Speaker 1: if that was considered a pick six. It certainly was
- 45:53Speaker 1: a touchdown for Dion. But yeah, it doesn't matter who cares.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Who cares how it would be be categorized. It sure
- 45:59Speaker 1: would be cool to see, all right, man, thanks Rick.
- 46:03Speaker 1: So yeah, usually how that worked on that that play
- 46:08Speaker 1: is that uh uh, Cooper got the catch. Amari Cooper
- 46:12Speaker 1: got the catch and then pitched it back. He got
- 46:15Speaker 1: however many yards it was, and then from there Josh
- 46:18Speaker 1: Allen got receiving yards without a catch. Uh so if
- 46:23Speaker 1: it was five more yards or whatever, receiving yards so
- 46:26Speaker 1: he got. It's hard to do. It's hard to do
- 46:28Speaker 1: to have a receiving have receiving yards, a receiving touchdown
- 46:32Speaker 1: and no reception, well, good, good stuff there. Zach in
- 46:36Speaker 1: Germany will be our last caller. Zach, what's up Nick?
- 46:39Speaker 12: What's going on? Man?
- 46:40Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 46:42Speaker 11: Oh good?
- 46:43Speaker 6: How are you good?
- 46:44Speaker 3: Good?
- 46:44Speaker 1: What's going on with you? We got a little bit
- 46:46Speaker 1: of time on the show, so I hate to rush
- 46:48Speaker 1: anybody from Germany? But what do you have for us?
- 46:52Speaker 12: All right?
- 46:52Speaker 18: I got two quick things. I'll make it fast.
- 46:55Speaker 13: Uh.
- 46:56Speaker 18: Do you think Zach Martin played his last nap?
- 46:58Speaker 1: I hope so, I hope not at all. I really
- 47:01Speaker 1: I hope he has that. Yeah, but we'll see he's
- 47:04Speaker 1: got and he doesn't. He didn't answer that question. He
- 47:06Speaker 1: said this isn't the time to talk about it, which
- 47:08Speaker 1: didn't sound great. But I think it's time for He's
- 47:11Speaker 1: got to feel how you know, see how how he
- 47:13Speaker 1: comes back from the injury, how he feels, and he'll
- 47:16Speaker 1: he'll make that decision. I think the Cowboys would, would
- 47:19Speaker 1: you know, work with him for him to come back
- 47:21Speaker 1: and play. It's got to be, you know, the right
- 47:23Speaker 1: terms for him. I really hope that's not his last play.
- 47:26Speaker 1: I hope not.
- 47:28Speaker 18: If it is, do you have a play that sticks
- 47:31Speaker 18: out that defines Zach Martin to you? Kind of like,
- 47:33Speaker 18: how you know Larry Allen has that play from his
- 47:35Speaker 18: rookie year or something along those lines. Anything that sticks
- 47:38Speaker 18: out in your mind or is it just the fact
- 47:40Speaker 18: that he was just so solid forever? I think the
- 47:43Speaker 18: stats stick out to me.
- 47:44Speaker 12: You know.
- 47:45Speaker 18: Yeah, let's was it holding calls and then penalties and whatnot?
- 47:48Speaker 1: So Pro Bowls? More Pro Bowls than holding calls. I mean,
- 47:51Speaker 1: that's that's still a still a yeah, that's unbelievable. More
- 47:55Speaker 1: and more Pro Bowls I think nine, and he's had
- 47:58Speaker 1: six or seven holding call in his career. It's hard
- 48:02Speaker 1: to do. I I think of a screen pass against
- 48:05Speaker 1: the Lions. It probably was like three or four years
- 48:08Speaker 1: ago at at and T Stadium, and uh, I have
- 48:11Speaker 1: to go back and look, I don't even remember the
- 48:14Speaker 1: guy with with the ball. Honestly, it could be could
- 48:17Speaker 1: have been Zeke, I might have been Tony Pollard and
- 48:19Speaker 1: I just remember him out there leading, leading the way,
- 48:22Speaker 1: and I just just thinking how awesome he was, you know,
- 48:25Speaker 1: how he is. That's this one that I remember, but
- 48:29Speaker 1: not not a ton of He just kind of solid.
- 48:32Speaker 1: He just did his job. You know, he can do whatever,
- 48:36Speaker 1: he whatever you wanted him to do. He could play
- 48:38Speaker 1: tackle if you needed him to. He was a leader.
- 48:41Speaker 1: He just kind of told it like like it was.
- 48:43Speaker 1: It never never caused any problems. It's just if he's
- 48:46Speaker 1: if he's done, he's going to be missed.
- 48:48Speaker 12: Man.
- 48:48Speaker 1: He really he'll be missed this year, but ull he'll
- 48:51Speaker 1: be missed by a lot of people. If this is
- 48:53Speaker 1: it for him. I hope it's not, though I agree.
- 48:56Speaker 18: So all right, well I'll let you go. I appreciate it, Nick.
